VLOG: Christmas decor shopping, New nails, Apartment updates, Brunch w/ Dylan & more! 

Your rant is literally how I've been feeling lately. My mom and I decided that this year for Christmas, instead of buying people unneeded materialistic things, we are gonna donate a good chunk of $$$ to a nonprofit/charity of their choice, in their name, and then just get them something small to go along with the donation. Anyways, loving your videos lately!

You and Dylan should do the target challenge! The thing on Tiktok where you guys go and pick out each others fave drink/snack, something the other needs, something they would wear etc. Hopefully you see where Im going with this😂

Ideas for vlogmas: christmas lights in the city or trying all the starbucks holiday drinks

You’re the only youtuber I watch anymore because you inspire me to be a kinder human to myself and everyone around me. Thank you for being such a breath of fresh air on social media that’s full of toxicity and materialism❤️

Omg did anyone tear up during the car chat?? She started talking about family and blessings etc and I'm over here like 😭 AMEN !

Your rant is exactly how I've been feeling lately. I really need to live more in the moment and not take the small things for granted. I recognize I need to start living in abundance and be grateful for everything and not constantly be looking for more. Thank you for being such a real and raw content creator and opening up about those things!!

I think a lot of people can relate to your chit chat. I think people don’t realize how many people they interact with or watch who are experiencing the same emotions. So thanks for addressing it ♥️

Pausing at 12:20 : you’re a really beautiful person inside and out. We all take a lot for granted. I know I have been lately. I get caught up with feeling depressed as a stay at home mom with toddlers. I look at other people in their 20’s going and doing and achieving. Making more money. Having nicer houses, nicer cars. I catch myself saying “Why even decorate for the holidays? The house is a rental.” I need to stop. I have a roof over my head. I have a brand new car that safely seats my kids. I have a husband that works hard to provide for us. My kids are healthy and smart and thriving. My pregnancy is healthy. I am SO BLESSED. Thank you for the reminder to slow down and remember, things could be so much worse.

I really love how you mentioned appreciating the little things. I think it's a great reminder to everyone! Every day is truly a gift, we are so lucky for the things we have!! I'm currently in the middle of finals week in grad school and I take breaks to relax and watch your videos :) Thankful for your channel!

Sometimes all you need is a 40-min-long vlog from Rachel. Edit: I swear your vlogs are like therapeutic, i love watching so much 💕💕💕

Loved your car chat!! Soo true. I’ve been trying to live by my grandmas favorite phrase she loved saying to us grandkids when we got stressed over the small stuff. “Don’t get wrinkles on your belly.” Like don’t stress, don’t let your stress make you sick with grief that isn’t necessary! 🙌🏼

queenn ily!! & 100% YES to the pampas in both vases!! (also like the idea of 1 set of beads instead of 2) I'M OBSESSED

You are my favorite for your realness. Don’t ever do what the others do. Love your style, you are sooo unique. 🥰

Thank you, Rachel for sharing gratitude and happiness around the world. ✨🌞 “You are a genuine person!”

I love that everyone is decorating so early this year!!! Bring on that Christmas cheer baby!

Thank you for just being a positive light! 💛

I’m sooo excited to Christmas shop!!!! Target trip this weekend forsure

I loved your little chit chat Rachel!! you are such a great inspiration, I always try to live day by day, love everyone, and be thankful for everything in my life & my family. Thanks for your passion towards this, I need to always do this!!

I totally understand your car chat. It's so hard to be present right now with the anxiety of what's going on in the world. You're absolutely right that all we can do is just try to take care of ourselves and be grateful.

Your ted talk! Literally how I’m feeling and this made me rethink how I’m going to take on this holiday season!

I love your nails they came out so good!!! and I love the way you have been decorating your apartment.

I’m READYYYY for the vlogmas content 🙌🏼

I loved your car chat. I have this conversation with my fiancé often because it’s so easy to forget how lucky we are for all of the little things in life, that end up being more than we can ask for. 🧡

You and Dylan should decorate Christmas cookie during vlogmas! I feel like that would be hilarious 😂

OMG YES CHOP THE HAIR! also so excited for vlogmas

I love your pep talk it's so true!! Appreciate the small things 💗💗

Thank you for this inspiring video ! Here in France everything is lock down again so it feels so good to see your videos. I can't wait for your vlogmast ! This year I want my house more Christmassy than ever.

I started watching your videos in the summer and you have become one of my favourite youtubers by far! you are so real and honest, I'm never one to comment but your "rant" really stood out to me and I find i can relate so hard. It has been such a hard time and I really needed to hear this :) your like the big sister I never had hahhaa you also make me super excited to move in with my boyfriend :) thank you for making these vlogs!!

I love Christmas decor 😍 I am just ready for Christmas

I love that you always ask Winnie is she likes something, it makes me laugh 😂❤️

Honestly you and Dylan are the cutest couple ever 😍 Can’t wait for vlogmas and more videos of the two of ye together ❤️

this video brings me so much happiness!!! needed this. 🤍

Absolutely loved this and I’m finding myself looking forward to watching ur new uploads !!! Love what you are doing !!!

Your car chat is an example of why I started following you... your kind and grateful heart and positive nature.😊 I like the warmer color blanket - ties in the floors and kitchen table behind it. 👍 OH! And I think your hair would look GREAT shorter. It always grows!!!!

Oh my goodness I am living for this 40 minute vlog! Also, whenever you were in your mirror talking about wanting to chop your hair off because of how cute it looks being tucked in your jacket… I was seriously thinking the same thing like yesterday whenever I had put a hoodie on, I’m like oh my goodness it might just be easier to just chop it all off… But another another piece of me wants my hair to grow almost to my waist… There’s literally no in between! ✨

So happy to see holidays vlogs starting including vlogmas etc fabulous video

Currently on my way to get that iced coffee 🤩 also that car chat really hit home for me. I’ve been trying to be more present when I’m doing things but it can be hard when you have a lot on your mind!

christmas baking! christmas favorite items to make at gatherings and to buy at the store

I’m a crybaby too 😭 When you talked about how you’re grateful you can text your family in a group chat and know they are all healthy I started to tear up! So grateful for a healthy family ❤️

Enjoying your video as always! ✨

Yes we would like a fall get ready with you!

saved this video to watch this morning while I have my coffee. Lovingggg your videos:)

You are the light of my morning. Bless your heart 🤍

Girl Dylan is an entire mood!

YAY! ❤️ I love Christmas 🥺

So excited for the Christmas spirits ❤️❤️🥰🥰

Your car chat is something I definitely needed to hear too!! thank you :')

Wow obsessed with the new painting

I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear that Ted talk (lol) thank you Rachel ❤️

a 40 minute vlogs?! this just made my entire day! coming from insta!! 🥰

you should definitely cut your hair, it’s so cute that length when it’s tucked 🤩 & I loved your little car chat!! so much to be thankful for, especially the little things 💛

So excited to watch!! ❤️

Can’t wait for a full get ready with me!

An idea for blogmas could be comprising a list of your fav Christmas movies maybe? I never get tired of your videos!

You should totally have your family do the Saran Wrap Christmas present challenge! They are so much fun to watch and make me laugh every time I think they would love this and so would we!

You and Dylan always crack me up!

The car chat really resonated with me rn ❤️

Yes fall get ready with me!!!!!

omg I live for your 40 min vlogs

I go to NC State and love watching your old videos and knowing where you are in Raleigh 🤣🤣🥰🥰

You are such a great , down to earth, smart beautiful person! I loved your car “chit-chat” ❤️

I LOVE THE 40 MIN VLOGS

Rachel! i love your videos so much! I also came from your instagram story!

i love rachel’s deep convos

Dylan’s a big baby. You’re so much more mature than him. I love both of those vases in your bedroom. Keep killing it girl, you are an inspiration

You should do a gingerbread house competition or holiday date idea for vlogmas!

Preach ranchel🤍 love this !

You need to try the iced chestnut praline latte with almond milk, no whip and add cold foam!! It is so yummy!!

The Boursin garlic and fine herbs cheese is soo good☺️

Your hair would be SO cute!! It would be so flattering and fun

omg yay 40 mins! so excited!

You can do more Fall/Winter hauls, simple Fall/Winter recipes, easy dessert recipes, new makeup products etc... 💕💕

Would love to see you trying holiday Starbucks drinks that subscribed recommend! Love the video and just decorated for Christmas also haha

Idea for vlogmas: making and rating popular Pinterest Christmas cocktails

40 MINS YES QUEEN

You have a good heart, and I agree with you!

40 min😭😍also you’ve been inspiring me to do my nails that almond shape❤️

Yes to the chop!!!!!

Ideas for vlogmas: Christmas dessert to eat or make in 24 hrs, outfits for Christmas,

Love the vases 🙌🏼 sooo RH

Ooh I might have to check out home goods for some above bed art! I’ve been on the hunt for some...I found this giant beautiful emerald green canvas at crate & barrel for like $850 😩 I think Starbucks has the pumpkin cold foam still (the ones near me have it on the app available to order) they just probably aren’t advertising it bc the holiday drinks are out. I totally understand what you’re getting at, I think we could all use a little bit more mindfulness and gratefulness for the actual moment we are in instead of looking for the next best thing. Your nails are so cute! I think short hair would look really good on you 💇🏼‍♀️ You should do some Christmas cookies/baking videos for vlogmas! I’m planning on doing a cookie video next month 😊

chop it!!!! im chopping mine tomorrow!!!

You are making me want to move to Raleigh! Also can you link your chain earrings? Really enjoyed your talk too. I agree

You gave a powerful message in this vlog.

Preach 👏🏼 i agree with everything in your Ted talk 🥰

Watching your “car chit chat” and I feel stressed out. I work at Trader Joe’s, and it’s very stressful working during a pandemic as well as during the holidays. Trying to focus more on patience but it’s very hard! Anyways, I’m grateful for having a job, but it’s just eye opening that some, (not all) of the customers have no regard for people in general. Looking forward to the holidays and not having to rush from place to place and just stay home, it’s very humbling!

YES QUEEN my fav youtuber ❤️ (came from insta hehe)

OMG I LOVE CRACKERBARREL!!!

ideas for vlogmas: shopping for presents

claiming my vlogs will be this cute one day 🥺

He’s the freaking best

You are awesome. Thanks for The tips

They still have pumpkin cream!

hahha I love the 'crackle' barrel debate. I've grown up saying crackle and not up until recently, going to college did I find out I was saying it wrong. Also, a big heck yes to cutting your hair! It makes you look so much more mature,,,, XOXO

🥰 love you girl 💖

I needed this talk. God is speaking through your life. Thank you for being such a role model for young women in these crazy times. #bigsisvibes
