I mention the bora bora vlog in this video so just watch to hear me explain lol but if I can't get the footage off the main camera sd card this week I'll just upload it without it! i just know the second I post the video without that footage I will find it and be so mad lol
Hi Samantha! I love your videos :D
I’M SO EXCITED GIRLIEEEE TAKE YOUR SWEET TIME
We love u either way! Just keep being Sam! 😁
Please share the places you get your yarn and the crochet patterns or videos you use!
this my favorite era for u homemaking being content in life and I really want to learn to crochet
“I’m not saying I wasn’t beautiful, I was…” wow that’s GROWTH. I’m so proud of you!
Get in girls, a new Samantha Jo vlog just dropped
🚗💨
And its an hour long ❤
And I am so here for it ! 🙌🏼🥰🌼
Wait I’ma buckle up 😊
Me too, Click it or ticket. This is such a spacious car… so nice..🚗
and it’s long 😭🩷🩷🩷
1. Totally understand the struggle with Piper and not being comfortable taking hr on walks. If you’re uncomfortable or anxious on a walk with her, that will just also make her more anxious and antsy.
2. Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines are my all time favorite cookbooks. Such homey, yummy meals and desserts.
3. Love the longer vlogs!
those cookbooks are so good! esp volume 3
Agreed!! I'll never be annoyed with a longer vlog. I wasn't able to get myself to eat lunch until I saw this and I just sat down and had my cease salad while watching.
Those are the BEST cookbooks!!!
Sam I’ve been watching you since your high school years….and I HAD to leave a comment and tell you how much you are absolutely GLOWING with energy and radiance and you’re looking just so healthy!!! Mentally and phsycially! You go girl!!!!! I’ve loved watching your journey! Keep up the amazing energy!!!!
40:00 i literally have sooo many hobbies… crocheting, sewing, friendship bracelets, my own nails (gel and tips), hair tinsel, painting rocks, coloring with alcohol markers, and like actually sm more. i love learning new things it’s fun not knowing how to do stuff and then building a new skill!
This seems like the most authentic Sam we’ve seen in awhile
Thats going a little too far
Trick to room temp/soften butter is putting the stick in a glass of warm water for a few minutes, or if you’re weird about the butter stick being wet get a small hand towel, wet it, ring out most of the water, warm it in the microwave for like 10 secs doesn’t need to be too hot and wrap the butter stick in the warm towel for a few minutes. You don’t want to melt the butter for recipes that ask for softened or room temp butter. It changes the composition and use of the butter (especially with cookies). Hope this helps for the next recipe! Love you Sam!
Came to comment the water trick!
you taught me something today! thank you!
You can also heat water in a glass cup, empty out the water, flip the cup so it’s upside down, and put it over the butter. Then you don’t have to worry about water getting into the butter.
The honesty talk you had about your weight and roller coasters and its affect on not being able to share experiences is so amazing. It’s kinda rare to see such self awareness mixed with positivity. I love seeing you want to be healthy. The difference so far is insane, your face is glowing
On crocheting: Whenever I make something that needs a starting chain of 20 or more, I put a stitch marker at every tenth stitch so I can just count by tens as I'm chaining. It's easier on my brain and prevents me having to recount a billion times. It's easier to count by tens (especially if chaining up to 100) than by counting each individual chain stitch (also if you don't have any stitch markers, I use paper clips or safety pins).
Genius! Thank you for sharing
i use a stitch counter to do something similar! count every 10 chains as a row
Thank you for bringing so much light to plus sized bodies and rollercoasters, it’s something I’ve always had so much anxiety about and especially when flying or at a concert. I’m always worried I’m not going to fit in the seat or the belt won’t fit. You are so beautiful and so inspiring and I’m glad I’m apart of this community 🤍✨
Washing the rice:
-great way to remove extra starch, dirt (rice is dirty!), and other unneccesary particles from your rice!
-easy method I use is just putting my rice into a mesh strainer and running it under water until the water comes out clear on the bottom. Occasionally mixing the rice around on top. So much easier and quicker than washing the other way lol.
Here comes Samantha Jo saving my boring Monday morningggg 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pregnant with my second I needed a break while my 1 year old naps, perfect timing! Watching you just glow and flourish, I’m trying not to cry of being so proud and excited for You!! The smallest things in life bring so much joy❤ you can see it on your face! Much love
You look amazing! I love how you always remain humble and admit to just being human. So down-to-earth and relatable. Your natural comedic talents are bar none! You're a true inspiration, Samantha Jo!
Get cookbooks from the library! That way you can see if you like it before you buy it. I love recipes from Damn Delicious (cookbooks and online), two peas and their pod, and skinnytaste!
Seeing you be able to live in your feminine energy is amazing, we love that for you ❤️
That's not a fucking thing
@@crycowgirlcry so sorry you feel that way 💕
@siennaconda I don't just feel that way 😂 don't need to be sorry for anything it's a made up thing that's only putting us behind
@@crycowgirlcry to each their own ❤️
@@crycowgirlcry lol sometimes u should just keep things to yourself
Just wanted to point out a helpful hack for softening your butter faster…I’ve used this hack for years and it always works for me.
1) heat water in a vessel; 2) pour water out and turn the vessel upside down to cover the butter; 3) let sit for 10 minutes. Voila! Softened butter 🙂 hope this helps you Samantha 🫶🏻 Love watching your content!!!! Keep up the hard work.
You’re really in your wifey era💕
Paint the nightstands & change the hardware to match how you want it! It’s one of my favorite things to do. Super therapeutic to transform pieces.
MOLLY BAZ. SHE'S SUCH A GOOD CHEF AND HER WITH HER DOG TUNA ARE THE CUTEST. I KNOW CAPITAL LETTERS SOUND AGGRESSIVE BUT I'M JUST ENTHUSIASTIC. Her recipes at times are a little complicated but they are so so tasty. You're also so lovely and I only wish you the best on your journey
I seriously am so grateful for you and your opening on weight loss. No joke I recently started a weight loss medication/journey and it was right at the same time I found your channel! Your openness and honesty is so inspiring. Love you and congrats on your journey 💕
First off you look incredible, you go girl!!!!!! Second, it's been so sweet seeing you in love! You go girl!!! Third, start a garden!! You will absolutely love it. Start small. Just get one raised bed and give it a try. I am pretty sure you will be hooked and it's a great way to spend time outside with the puppies. It can be very zen for you and so satisfying. You could easily grow some peppers (they are super easy) and make your bf stuffed peppers with homegrown peppers. It is the best feeling.
(Sorry for the long comment I’m very passionate about gardening lol) Yess!! Especially the garden part. It’s like therapy for me. I started off with one garden box. Like a 3.5wx6L and now I have 5 bigger boxes. It is very rewarding and satisfying to be able to watch them grow knowing I’m the reason my plants are thriving and then being able to harvest everything. I’m not exactly sure if she should start out with peppers as they can be finicky sometimes. Plus it was very confusing to me as to why my peppers were a lot smaller than the ones you buy at the store until I realized that it’s likely because I grow organically. I would highly recommend her to start out with herbs but to be careful with oregano and any other ground cover herbs bc they can take over your garden. I’d recommend those being planted in pots from my own experience. Haha. But the most satisfying herb I’ve planted and have planted for the last 5 years is Sweet Italian Basil. It grows amazingly and tastes great in a lot of dishes. Plus it’s a great companion plant as it naturally deters pests that eat on other plants. (I have never had any hornworms on my tomatoes because of my basil plants). She lives in Florida which is great because in most parts it doesn’t get frost so she may be able to grow spring/summer/and maybe fall crops all year round. Going by your grow zone works great too but it’s not always perfect. I live in zone 8a-b and I’ve been recommended to plant cilantro in April…well it always flowers because it gets into the hundreds here and cilantro doesn’t like heat and once it flowers the taste changes to a even more bitter taste and it’s no longer viable for salsa (at least for me) but I let it go to seed last summer and didn’t pull up the dead dried out plants and the seeds fell into my garden bed and started regrowing last fall and are still growing right now even after having 15°f temps and being completely exposed to frost. It’s thriving and the biggest cilantro plants Ive ever accidentally grown.
@@rachelanne4631 excellent advice! I only wish I started gardening years before I finally did.
Cookbook rec!! America's Test Kitchen cookbook is amazing! Lots of pics, explanations for why certain combinations of ingredients work, etc it's so useful!
Yes second this!
I love crockpot recipes. If you have one you can use a liner too it makes clean up easier.
We love this musbroom italian chicken recipe.
-a can of cream of mushroom OR chicken
-1 packet of dry italian dressing mix
-4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
-cream cheese. Some recipes say half a block or whole 8 oz. It deoends how creamy you want it.
Cook on low for 6 hrs or high for 3 hours.
Serve it with pasta or rice. We like to side it with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Super easy for our family of 3
So happy to see you thriving in your new home!🌷☀
The denim dress is ADORABLE!!
Your hair looks amazing ❤
You look so great and you’re GLOWING! I love the place you are in now.
As always, Andrew your edits are fantastic!!!
YESSSSS new ALMOST HOUR LONG?!!??!?!/! vlog. hope ur well sam! i was just feeling like i needed to hang w a friend and you posted at a great time. you're glowing girl xo edit: your cornstarch fiasco had me cackling
I absolutely love you. I’ve been watching you since your first apartment and I feel like we friends lol🫶 Can’t wait to watch!❤
It's so cute how when your telling dunkin to treat the air bnb well his little tail wag is adorable
We freeze banana or 100% pumpkin purée(not pumpkin pie mix) and put it in the Kong for our dogs! Pumpkin is gentle on the stomach and has a lot of health benefits! Try it out instead of the peanut butter ❤
Such a good idea! My Corgi actually hates peanut butter so his Kong toy has been basically useless.. Definitely going to try out pumpkin. And he loves knocking icecubes around until they melt! So freezing it in there will be exciting for him! 😂
Greek yogurt too!
Dinner ideas: i get groceries from Walmart and if you go on the app or site, click departments, then groceries, then recipes, it’ll show you a ton of ideas BUT NOT ONLY THAT, it will have all of the ingredients ready for you to add to cart if you decide you wanna make it!! It also gives info like cost per serving, etc. AND if the recipe calls for a basic like olive oil, it’ll have the ingredient in the list, but at the bottom under “you may already have this” bc it bases it off of what you’ve ordered before. Literally how cool is that 😭 That has been my life saver!! Idk if other grocery stores offer that on their apps or sites but you should look into it!!
It’s still breakfast time for me 🍳.
My first cook book was just a basic Betty Crocker I just remember it’s red with a 3 ring binder, & I save lots of recipes on Pinterest & print my favorites & create a folder at home for them.
Hope that helps🥰.
sam you are GLOWING girl !!! you look so Happy Healthy and Healing. WOW to see how far you’ve come. I’m so proud keep it up girl this is inspiring 🫶🏼🥹
I found you about two weeks ago and today I officially watched EVERY video you’ve made.. yes all the way back to the first Christmas haul video 😂 ❤
Wow! I haven’t seen a lot of anyone’s You Tube video as I have moved three times in less that 3 months, had some friend and family illness and passings and dealing with some health issues myself. I have finally had the chance to try and catch up and I have to say that you look fabulous, your weight loss has been wonderful and I barely recognized you! Your attitude has become so positive and happy and if I was your mother I would so proud of you. Keeping busy with things you love to do, your cooking has improved so much! You being in a happy relationship. All of this looks so good on you. I am going to have to back track on your videos when I can to catch up on your life. You look radiant!
samantha the sheet bag can be used... buy a small pillow and then use it as a cover for an accent pillow
I am loving these new videos with Sam being a homemaker. It’s so satisfying and calming to watch. Love ya always girl ❤
Woo-hoo sam on lunch break what a perfect monday
she always looks so beautiful in the morning. always has such a pretty glow to her !! ❤
Super excited for a little mid morning Samantha jo to brighten my day
WE LOVE YOU AND I LOVE THIS ERA OF SAM!!! Glad you are happy!!!
just binged the bora bora videos. what a treat
I just really have to say that I am so inspired by your journey. I know how it feels as a creator to hear that from their supporter, & I'm just really rooting for you sister
one of the best times of the week - vlog by Samantha Jo
You saying, “I guess today is not so bad,” after getting that chocolate strawberry was SO CUTE.
Also, I personally was happy to see you and Dunkin getting your mom-son alone time on that walk!
I've been impatiently waiting for this since Friday when I saw your story on I think tik tok! Ahhhhh im so excited the vlog is here!!!❤🎉
the joanna gaines cook books are TOP TIER. 💗
i just found your videos and i have to let you know i’m obsessed. I am a 23 year old with PCOS and your content is so comforting to me. thank you for being you
Half Baked Harvest if you don't have that one is great. She also has a blog. Every dish is a banger.
Seeing you get back into crocheting and enjoying it so much, has really inspired me to pick it back up and give it another go. Not to make it sad but my nan passed last year and if you ever asked me to describe her I would mention how she never went anywhere without her crochet hook and her newest creation. Since her passing, no one else in the family knows how to crochet besides my mum, and I don't want that skill to be lost. She loved crocheting, it was a part of who she is and I don't want to lose that too. So, I want to learn to crochet in her memory and keep that part of her alive. I would love to be able to crochet things for other people like she did. So thank you for sharing your crochet journey ❤
morning made💕 comfort channel always
Sam I am literally so happy for you just being able to experience so many things that you love to do that you haven’t been able to for the past couple of years ❤
Pinterest is where I get my recipe ideas, I am making hamburger steaks with a mushroom and onion gravy and serve with mashed potatoes or rice.I am loving your homemaking videos. Love from Spring Texas.
I’m so proud of ur weight loss journey ❤ I am w you girl I started working out and cutting 3 weeks ago and I’m 5lbs down !!! I started 220 now I’m 215 my goal is 180 for this summer 🎉🎉
That Disney worker should have been fired. Positive that Disney would tolerate that type of attitude.
the clip of you crocheting on the couch and your bf lovin on the dogs is KILLING meeee so freaking cute!!!!!!!!!!
Omg !!! perfect timing, I was just about to hop on the treadmill, going to go for an hour now 😊
ugh i just love samantha jo so much
One of the most responsible pet parents I've seen we love knowing our limitations 🥰
Girl I relate soo hard with adding a second dog to your family, when my fiancé and I started living together it was such a struggle because his dog is literally the best dog ever but she gets really protective over me and only me out in public. (As well as my dog/he always has been like that when someone approaches me but him and I have worked on it through the years, but with them both it was a nightmare) I’ve learned that giving them both the attention they need is so key. separate walks has helped me so much but I know everyone doesn’t have time for it but if you can start with that I suggest it! Secondly having jerryl going on walks with everyone and purposely having both of you communicating with other people/dogs and having yours just observe helps a lot. Also give commands to her around him and if she doesn’t listen have him back you up with it. Making sure your dogs are confident with both of you is so helpful and the start of them being comfortable with you alone. But in the end your dog is your responsibility, his dog is his responsibility and sometimes you have to do what’s best for you guys ! I take just mine on walks all the time because in reality I took on the responsibility of having a dog and you can’t feel bad when you are doing what you signed up for if you know what I mean? Best wishes for you and your little family, you will figure it all out in time🫶🏻🫶🏻
Perfect lunch break video
You have grown so much. I am so proud of you, beautiful❤
"I find purpose in creating a home, a family. I'm not pregnant but" 0.0
Sam you look so good and healthy!! I was binge watching all of your shorts and i scrolled upon the ones where you were in the gym and it reminded me of when i first joined your channel and the confidence you have me! i’m so proud of all of your accomplishments i just want to let you know to keep going and we all love and support you no matter what!
With rotties and training, just repeat, repeat, repeat…. If I’m out and about with mine, and other dogs come around, I tell him, “mind your business” and he literally ignores them lol have a stern hand, when walking her. I have retractable leash, so I can keep him super close when needed, or long for when he’s pottying…. But you HAVE to be strong lol. Because they ARE STRONG
Also, play with her outside, then take her for a walk, so she’ll be more tired and less responsive to other animals
I LOVE half baked harvest and smitten kitchen for recipes!! Both have easy, delicious, healthy recipes. They both also have cookbooks if you want a physical recipe. They both have a lot of one pan/one dish meals that are to die for!
Is your boyfriend the old boyfriend that's now the new boyfriend again? 😊
yes!
My hobby the past few months has been starting a cut flower garden! Planning and buying seeds is fun for me and eventually I will have fresh bouquets every week
The dog needs more exercise and mentally stimulating toys. Also, do not ever leave Dunkin alone with her. No matter what you think. No matter how much it seems they get along. NEVER. Leave them alone together. Ever.
i’m sorry who are you?
i love the way you talk about piper, you realize she needs support and i find it super cool of dog owners when they do so ❤❤
You look the freshest, glowiest, happiest I have EVER seen you!!! I can't believe how radiant you are in this vlog
You know it is a good day when Samantha Jo drops a new vlog!!
I haven’t watched a vlog from you in a while. You seem soo much happier and brighter. Love to see it!!! I’ve loved you since your videos in your parents house!
So happy for you, Samantha Jo! And I love that crochet pattern and the beautiful yarn you're using! Where did you get it? Can't wait to see the finished product.
There is this crockpot chicken seasoning basically u put like 1/4 cup seasoning in a crock pot with chicken and broth low and slow all day and it comes out so unbelievably tender and u can use it in everything
Omg thank you for sharing your small struggles with your different dogs. Love this. My dog passed away due to a situation I just could not handle. So walking your dogs with the alpha I have learned is very smart.
Rhythm skating!! Roller skating but like dancing. So fun and such good exercise
Sam I love the podcast and it’s seriously has become such a pivotal part in my weekly routine!! Mondays usually suck so it’s awesome so just sit and chat. I’ve been following for a while and the long videos have always been my favorite!!! So happy to see you glowing 🥺
You are glowing these days, Sam. The happiness and contentment is pouring out of you. So, so happy for you. ❤❤
It made me so happy to hear you say that you are happy❤
Sam you are literally SOOOOOOO stunning!!!!! Your hair always looks so damn good , you literally are ethereal as heck
i looove how you kept the disney segment quick and funky and interesting
my dog also needs a lot of enrichment, we do a lot of cutting up vegetables small and scattering them in a towel, rolling the towel and then tying it in a not and it keeps him busy trying to get it out. as well as lots of toys that require them to think more about what compartment the veggies are in or how to get them out (depending on the toy) e.g. toys you can get from amazon or pet shops are perfect or even small plastic bottles and cut a hole in it somewhere so they have to shake it to get the food out. you could even scatter her food or main meal around the house or in the grass in your garden (i understand this may be more difficult with more pets to take care of) so she has to sniff it out more! i hope this helps, it works like a dream on my border collie cross as he's a very smart and high enrichment needing dog!!
ive had rottweilers my whole life last friday one passed but i have 2 at the time most of the time and they are the biggest babys they need lots of attention they are pretty much toddlers theres not much you can do besides take them on walks we let our dogs roam free when we are walking them(1 to 2 km walks 3 times a day) and play with them let them in our yard and they still need attention its just difficult keeping them busy i get your struggle also fully understand the problem with the "agression" they just need more stimulation and thats difficult but you're doing great!!
Absolutely obsessed with you, I’ve been watching for so many years now and your growth is amazing! Also I adore the crochet jumper you made!! I need the link 🥰🌹
Sam!! I have watched for years, this is my FAVORITE style blog, love longer form
Also, Kong as free webinars that are really informative on what to fill their products with & just good info overall about dogs & cats!
Oh I love a PR haul!! Always feel comfortable to share PR!!
For recipes I am a Pinterest girlyyy. Love it for finding new things or ways to use up what’s in the fridge
I will always LOVE the long videos!! I can turn one on while I’m getting ready and I love when you film getting ready and just talk to us (doing your makeup or hair) it makes me feel like we’re getting ready together 😂 ❤
That bun was literally perfect omg. I have long thick hair so I’m never able to wear my hair up because it hurts my head. You rocked that hairstyle!!😍
We use any lick mat from Amazon, we use plain Greek yogurt, Jif naturals, baby food (only the veg and water for ingredients) our dogs like sweet potato and carrots. We also use pumpkin sometimes.
Also we get bone broth and freeze it in an ice cube tray for a little snack.
I love non-scale victories and “ride a roller coaster” is such a fun one!!! Cheering for you all the way to the top of the roller coaster
The Harmless Harvest cookbooks are life-changing! So many delish recipes with a focus on whole foods. Highly recommend!
I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE IT WAS AN HOUR LONG VIDEOOOO yayyyy ❤thank you Sam 😭❤️
Hello fresh! I ordered from them for a good few months and just saved every recipe card. Threw them in a binder and now I have a ton of quick delicious recipes! And they usually only require a few ingredients 😊
Not really a day to day cookbook but one I like to pull out occasionally when I want to switch things up and since you're a fan I thought I'd mention it. The unofficial Harry Potter cookbook has some very tasty recipes. One that is my favorite and is becoming a staple in our house is one that Kreacher offered to Harry: Beef stew with herb dumplings. The only thing I do differently from the recipe is no marjaram, add the same amount of beef stock as there is chicken and some garlic powder, I also cook it for less time so it's a little more soupy as that's what we like
Use stitch markers to keep track of the chain stitches! I add a marker at every 25 or 50 depending on how many chain stitches I’m doing. It helps so much especially when you’re making a blanket and chaining over 200 lol
Sam. I am so happy for you! you look amazing and I love to see your journey loving yourself more and more, the podcast is what I look forward to every Mondayyyyy! It is the best way to start my week lol sending love!
