Living in Ireland. Lost my Job. However, I'm using the time to Meditate, make Art & Slow Down. We are all in this together. Inhale the positive, exhale the negative. We Come One. Namaste
Yeah bro, I'm in England. Luckily didn't lose my job but can't work for now. You're right; now is the perfect time to be creative and focus on our well being as much as possible. It's horrible to be isolated and separated from our loved ones, but it's also an opportunity. Hope your meditation goes well.
I am a family medicine physician in California and it has been overwhelming emotionally and physically at times. I want to personally thank you for your positive energy and your wonderful videos. They have helped me immensely to recharge and maintain my sanity during this crazy time. :)
Hi Derek and Crystal! I have a confession here. I must admit, I stopped watching your videos for good few months. I thought, well I watched enough, I tracked enough of my micros in cronometer, I don´t need to know more info about nutrition. I stopped and got worse. I got into trash gossip YT channels and trashy junkfood here and there. I lost the control over my mind and my body. But now I´m back, drinking spinach smoothie, eating beetroots and vegetable bowls. I know that I´m just 1 out of your almost half a million (WOW) subscribers, but I still want to thank you. Thank you for posting your videos and adding content even when I was not watching. And thank you Crystal for posting about women´s health on IG. Thank you both!
Believe me when I say your videos are inspiring to any and all who have subscribed to your channel. I, for one, appreciate both of you. Keep the positive vibes coming and thanks for all you do!!
good to hear that you guys are safe and prepared! i'm in manhattan, and basically all of nyc is a ghost town. it feels like a movie! people are out running or walking, but it's ominously empty with all of the stores closed and no gatherings. however, the bright side is that it's proof of how people are definitely taking it all seriously. 🌱
Derek and Crystal, I appreciate the humor, great information, workout tips. I'm especially moved by and appreciative of the heartfelt care you show for others in all your videos. You're inspiring, kind, powerful people that are transforming humanity. Thank you!
As a ER nurse battling the front lines of this virus, thank you for the positive vibes on your channel. Today is my day off and our mental health is just as important as our physical health. Well done!
Zinèb Zéhar they want us to stay away from others until the graph curve is flattened. ( no new cases) it may be June. I Have been praying the rosary with live from Lourdes :0) God bless
@@davidk2187 That is exactly what I've been saying and they say, well, there's carry out. Then I say that a lot of people don't like to reheat their food.
Started watching you in 2018 when I went plant based...my third year into being vegan and still a loyal follower!!! I've improved my lifestyle, got rid of my knee pain (dancer injury) and built some muscle and lost inches... going vegan was the best decision I ever made and you made this journey so fun and easy. Thank you for all that you guys do..much love to you and Crystal...stay safe!
Thanks to all you TH-camrs for continuing to create videos for all of us during this stressful and boring time we need to see what other people are doing to stay occupied and getting entertainment value from your video. So thank you guys for doing this. Much love and stay safe. 😷
So not only did you inspire and help me so much when I first went vegan, but now my 5 year old son loves watching you and is always requesting vegan food :) Thanks for all you do and all the positivity you bring!
It's great to see your positivity. Home schooling our young kids in the UK and keeping them contained to the house isn't much fun. They do play in the garden, but are scared about going outside to the streets. Your video cheered me up. Great stuff.
Thank you and all of the best to you both!! I am a nurse do life, for me, goes on as usual.....but we all are appreciative of those that spread positive , informed information.....continue to do so!! Take care, all....we can get through this!!
Love the energy!!!!💪😀 Lol...hey...do what you can, with you you've got, even if they're rusty. No excuses!!💪 Totally Love your positivity!!!! You guys are a breath of fresh air and your video totally counters all tbe negativity from all the news. God bless you both!🙏 Your awesome!!!🙏👍💪❤🙏😀
Thank you both for the continued positivity and inspiration! And your extra bit at the end, I work in grocery retail and hearing a "thank you" means so much when it often feels the general public look down on your position.
On the Simnett Facebook group after grabbing your E-book and loving all the positivity and dedication everyone in the group has and how much time you take to reply in the group. This man is goals! Looking to start off 2021 with a bang and these videos are definitely going to help me do it!
Thank you for keeping us entertained and yes, we after we're all safe from this virus we need to celebrate our hard workers who kept on working for us!
You guys are awesome, and I forgot how much I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for being caring, kind, and compassionate Vegans. I think that’s so important for our movement. Namaste, Val ^-^
France here, we're confined in our homes, I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home for now, shelves are empty and we can't even go out for a jog now. I'm used to working out at home so that helps, hopefully next week I'll be able to buy some food because I did not buy too much because we all need some. Stay safe everyone, thanks for the content and the smiles Derek and Crystal, we can all use some smile right now !
Thank you so much for posting this. It means more than you'd know to see that people you've never met before all around the world are all going through this together. Quick tip: If there are any Asian or Indian markets near you, they have all the rice and beans! You can get much larger bags for cheaper, help support local businesses, and help relive xenophobia all in one shopping trip! Hugs to both of you! Stay safe! Keep posting!
Hi from Philly! Same thing here, only life-saving services open.... just wanted to say thank you for still doing your videos during this time! It gives me some sense of normalcy ❤️ Take care guys 🙏
I live in Pennsylvania. Everything is closed. Kids are off school. It’s a scary time. My husband and I are both nurses, so we did get some extra dried beans and frozen veggies so that we do not have to go to the store for awhile. We have only been going out for work and to run or bike (alone). We have some various gym equipment at home (a lot like yours). We are trying to stay active, healthy, and positive! Thanks for the positive video I love Crystals laugh! It’s contagious 😂
Keep it real. Don't change. Don't doubt in yourself. This is why you have the number of followers that you do! Keep it up! Every new video makes my day!!!!!
I have never left a comment on a youtube video before but wanted to send you some good vibes. I am an Michelin trained Irish head chef, living in London, England. I am vegan (and my husband too). I make such complicated food daily, so it's so nice to see your bowls of goodness that give me home eating ideas. It's easy to get stuck in a rut with ideas, even when you're a head chef! Also your positive smiling energy in every video is sooo good. Me and my husband love your happy vibe. It's all that great plant based nutrition that has us vegans so happy! Keep up the good work over there, it's appreciated on the other side of the world :)
Crystal!!! ❤️❤️ it’s nice to see you both. We’ve been walking parts of the Mountains to Sea Trail (MST) in North Carolina USA to help us stay sane. These trails are not very popular but are beautiful! I told my husband the other day that we need to order a trampoline for this ordeal.
Simnett Nutrition I wish the MST was as popular as the APT but for now I’m fine that we are the only two walking it 😆 we live out in the countryside anyway, very quiet and not heavily populated in general. Stay safe you two!
Aww, I'm a little envious. It's been a while since I lived in the Santa Cruz mountains, but I hiked that trail weekly year round. Truly a slice of heaven!
Four weeks vegan now and you and your channel help(ed) me sooo so much! 😊 Great video, again! Loved that it was a longer one and that Crystal was more involved in front of the camera - switched up the dynamics. 😃 Enjoyed it. Stay healthy. Greetings from Germany. 😊
Love your videos (authentic, practical, evidenced-based). I prepared as you all did regarding buying beans and lentils and frozen goods etc. I live in a small town in Alabama where most people do not eat healthy, so the produce shelves are packed full as normal (hope it continues) and the shelves for other things are low. Thanks for sharing your day. I have a bouldering gym in my attic, so I need to go workout now.
That's great! Hahah. See if your little ones can spot our backyard neighbours peeping over the fence right at the beginning. (*Hint, pause at 1 second and in-between my ear and the hanging rope)
@@Simnettnutrition I rewatched the area you mentioned a couple of times but I didn't see them. All them same thank you so much for the reply you are awesome guys keep up the good work!
More videos guys! Especially in this quarantine. Everything is bare, and everything is crazy. Getting as much produce as possible. Trying not to go out unless its necessary. I hope you guys are well!!
I’m a home body, so other than not going to the gym, my life hasn’t changed. I’ve found a couple weight lifting videos on TH-cam to keep my muscles from shrinking and I still go for walks. The hubby has an “Essential” job, so we are ok for now 🤞🏻🤞🏻...I have well stocked cupboards, fridge and freezer (no hoarding!) and hope to find TP next week. Wish me luck 😮 ...thank you Derek and Crystal for sharing and for the compassionate words. It will all be well soon enough. ♥️🌱♥️🙏🏻 Namaste!
Thank you both for the positive vibes! Here in France we are on lock down. We are only allowed to go out to go grocery shopping or to go to the doctor. We have to fill out an authorization paper each time we go out. It's like living in a movie or a nightmare...I am still working because I'm a pharmacist but the streets of my town are empty. Stay safe everyone
Hey Derek you guys are awesome. Thanks for showing us these recipes and also the motivation you provide with each videos. I have always used to have my diet heavy meat based but now with your recipes I have learned to balance it with vegan diets and my health has definitely improved so much and I feel way better. All thanks to you and your lovely lady for motivating me. Stay safe you both.
I am on the west coast of Florida. All non essential business closed. Grocery is limited hours. It feels like a zombie apocalypse, but without the zombies! Thanks for all the great content. Stay healthy and safe 😊
Hi Derek and Crystal, thanks for continuing to post videos and being so gracious and caring and kind during this difficult time. I'm in Seattle and my living room is my new gym! I went to our local produce stand and bought a case of artichokes. 🤣 stay well!
We're in quarantine since Monday in France. Just allowed to (and with a 'certificate') : - go shop our food (ahah, that's really hard when people panic buy) - go to work for people who can't do it from home - go all alone run if we really want to, but not too far - go take your children if you're divorced - go give your blood As I am at home because I don't have work at the moment, I already know how to fill my time. So, no problem (appart I don't go for an hour walk everyday, just run once a week to not go too much outside). I suppose the Earth was too tired of humans shits... For people who don't know what to do : - sport at home - meditation (you can go inside and work on you, that's not loosing your time, trust me) - stretching - learn new languages or anything else (mooc, memerise, etc) - draw, paint - play music, listen to music, sing - read, write - watch movies or series (not too many but still) or documentary - choose the good videos to watch and don't watch a ton of shits or a ton of corona related video : you're allowed to smile and laugh - take care of the people that are nearby like family or friends (I don't who you live with but hey! You can) - share time at the phone or skype etc whith people you love, but not to much if it depressed you - write a journal? - do you spring cleaning, you have time right now - if you have a balcony or a garden, spend time there, it's cool and nice! - if you're allowed too, choose hours when people do not walk/run a lot (like before 9-10 in the morning) and go for a walk once a week, not too far, but still - cook and learn Take care everybody! ~♥~
Thanks for this video! It's so easy to fall out of routine during these crazy times. Thanks for your workout and food ideas, my 3 year old thought your dinner looked so good and asked me to make it for her. We will be giving it a whirl tonight. Stay safe and keep the vids coming, it's nice to watch something positive for a change! Cheers from Ontario.
Thank you for your positivity, it takes me away from the scary things that are happening out in the world right now. In the UK it seems pretty similar to you guys. Groceries are back on the shelves, but restrictions to queueing and store access, trying to use online services where we can. Trying to stay fit and well.. Much love and keep well
I'm already having a hard time keeping my toddler entertained. We're building him a playset and I ordered some some Lebert equalizers so hopefully adding all that outdoor play and exercise will help pass the time! Stay healthy you two! ❤
It sounds like it's about the same here in Missouri as you guys, went to the store and just got what we needed and bulk items as well like rice and beans. Thank you for your videos, I find so much inspiration from them and your positive vibes just radiate. I'm glad you guys are doing okay, we're all in this together. Love your channel so much!!
Love your channel! Thanks for being so positive and up beat. You all are so caring and understanding! Tough times right now, your video really cheered me up and I love the shout outs at the end! So much going on and taking the time to make a video and express your concerns and care for everyone is so awesome!
Love you both! Great video. Derek's message at the end was obviously heart felt and really nice to see even though I'm not one of those people who deserve so much thanks and appreciation.
Love you videos as always! Thanks for being so genuine and sharing beautiful meals to spread health and knowledge. You're both awesome! Love from Ontario in these crazy times.
You both bring so much positivity to what you do. I really enjoy watching your videos and am enjoying all the tips and recipes As a brand new vegan (literally 3 weeks in) I've found that I continue to come back to your channel.
This video is just what I needed! I was smiling the whole time so thank you for bringing a little joy to uncertain times 😊 The same situation in Australia, all non-essential businesses closing, my university has moved all classes online, my work has shut for 4 weeks minimum so using my time to focus on my nursing studies. Wish I was already a nurse so I could help the amazing healthcare workers take care of the infected ❤️
I think this video is the perfect balance of light and fluffy and serious covid-19 scary reality but wrapped in your usual awesome positive vibe ❣ thanks Derek!
This was fun!!! And the meal looked great. In Texas we put salsa on everything. I’m a delivery driver and so is my husband. Often we are not just working paycheck to paycheck, but day to day- so all of this was somewhat nutty to us. It started as a consumer crisis just based on how people apparently even in Canada acted at grocery stores. The good thing for my family is that delivery is in high demand. And the platform that I work with here in Texas is affiliated with our largest grocery store. We are working, and giving back to people in need. People that have self quarantined, seniors that can’t get out, and maybe even ones that are sick. We are doing a lot of drop at the door orders to practice social distancing. It’s been crazy bc this was also my step sons spring break! So his home school hasn’t started yet- although I truly believe he is a gifted kid and I am so thankful that he has tested above his grade level, and I don’t believe he will get behind, no matter how long this lasts. Also, Sounds like there is a medication that helps it, and it’s rolling out Tuesday. It’s also not a vaccine but an oral pill. It will be interesting to see how the remainder of this mayhem plays out. A few things about this virus are true, the cleaner you are the less it will penetrate you, the healthier you are the easier and better you can fight it- whereas the majority of deaths worldwide are connected to people with pre existing conditions. It’s scary because it can live on surfaces, but the pro is that bleach, soap, alcohol, and even hydrogen peroxide can kill it. I definitely agree that staying home is the best policy. Be clean, eat clean. 💚💚🌿🌿
You guys make healthy, vibrant living look SO easy (and fun...who knew?!)...you inspire me! To one of my fav channels...thank you heaps!! Stay well and enjoy the journey...the best is yet to come! 😃
Sending my love right back to you and crystal, (Brooklyn NY) only the essential stores are open. Lunch and Dinner look mouth-watering, Keep safe! Peace and Love!
I have a lot of spare time now with work closed and being stuck at home. So I've taken up sketching, and one of the pictures I drew was Crystal from one of her Instagram posts haha. She's a beauty so it was a pleasureto draw. I encourage bored people to try some art or music!
Awesome video Derek and Crystal. Thanks for bringing such a good content in difficult times like these ❤️ staying positive is so important to moving forward . Looking forward to the next video . May God bless you and keep 🙏 you safe.
Great video. I live in King County here in Seattle. So impressed by everyone working together to fight this pandemic! Praying hard that the curve will flatten. I enjoy seeing your workouts but as a woman I would love to see what Crystal does to work out too especially now that we are doing so at home. Thanks for all you both shared today! You both made me smile! Stay safe and healthy! 😀🙏🏽💓Jillian
Thanks for the smiles you two! I just flew back to Alaska and so now my husband and I are self-isolating for 14 days to make sure we didn't pick up the virus at Seatac or planes. I had stocked well (freezer/dried goods) before we left but now I'm using the Fred Meyer order online and pickup for fresh fruits and veggies. REALLY works great and no human contact! Only thing is... bought bananas and "thought" it was a bunch. Got ONE! And no, I'm NOT sharing with my husband! HAHA Stay safe everyone. I'm having lots of fun with long walks through deep snow, exercising, video chatting with friends and family, cooking, and trying to stay in a routine! I have a wonderful husband and loving dog. It's all good. My heart goes out to those that are losing jobs and feeling alone.
Stuck in our little flat here in Paris, so jealous of your back garden. Fully stocked up with vegan goodness. Doing living room workouts as best as I can (no pull though). Super calm outside, and the air smells so fresh compared to usual. Netflix, Nintendo, vegan food, and pushups
Self isolation is just THE BEST way to prevent a serious overload of the healthcare system and I am so glad you've talked about it in such an uplifting way! That's what being a good influencer is all about! Thank you! Also, the video was so so fun to watch! I've had a smile on my face pretty much all the time! And finally, I truly admire the ease with which you've done the exercises having that 40pounds on your chest. Honestly insane :D Anyways, sending you both lost of love! Stay safe and enjoy the positive aspects of that weird time we're in!
Love right back at ya! It would be great to see some workouts that don't include equipment for those of us who don't have much of anything. I want something that can keep improving my strength. Stay safe and healthy!!
@@Simnettnutrition I understand! I have been working from home (as so many of us now are) for the last three days and am really missing access to the fitness room at work with dumbbells, kettlebells, etc. Time to get creative! And with this sunshine, time to get outside.
Hey, thank you guys for making us smile in this hard times! My day got so much better after receiving positive energy from this video! Thank you and stay safe 🙏🙂
I love how you don't measure! That is the wonderful thing about whole food plant based, it's hard to mess it up! And the fixes are easy: a little flaxseed to thicken it!
Watching this on March 19th 2021, almost exactly one year later and remembering that time when things were just crazy with being out of work and everything shutting down. I started getting depressed and let my healthy eating and active lifestyle go by the wayside a bit. Canceled my gym membership due to covid and put on a few pounds. But I held on to healthy habits due to it being ingrained in my life and bounced back and now I’m eating about 90% plant based and the outdoor parks are my gym!
Thank you for the grounding yet fun aspects of your video. You can order foods still through the mail. For those who give people a hard time for hoarding, the less you go out to stores the safer you are so do conscientious hoarding. Please everybody stay safe.
Great to get a break from the News and watch another awesome Simnet video! Thanks for keeping it real guys! I’m in Hong Kong, just got home from NYC this morning, have a week off now before my next excursion into the craziness. Thanks for the inspiration to help get through this tough time!!
Hello from Colorado. Thanks for sharing your good ideas and good energy. You're the best! I know I'll be making a lot of insta pot 'quarantine' creations. One thing I've been using is vegetable bouillon for the stock. It is a small jar of concentrated seasoned veggie base, so a little goes a long way - one tsp. for 8 oz of water. It's great to have on hand. Stay safe & healthy everyone!

Battling with... empty hospitals
The supply chains have not been interrupted but people panic buy. Wait a few days. Same everywhere I’m on the east coast in Connecticut.
Also I think because restaurants are closed, people are eating out less and actually buying their own groceries now.
David K very good point. Glad this happened in the spring. Maybe I’ll get the grill going for fruits and sweet potatoes! :0)
Same in France. I live in Paris. We supposed to stay at home for 15 days but we're waiting the announcement for more.

Yes, get a trampoline! I know, I feel kind of guilty going for walks outside, but I think it is okay as long as you live in a really quiet area.
Simnett Nutrition I wish the MST was as popular as the APT but for now I’m fine that we are the only two walking it 😆 we live out in the countryside anyway, very quiet and not heavily populated in general. Stay safe you two!
Aww, I'm a little envious. It's been a while since I lived in the Santa Cruz mountains, but I hiked that trail weekly year round. Truly a slice of heaven!
smw2828 it’s so beautiful! It deserves more love ❤️
I just walked part of the MST today!!! In Asheville.
Four weeks vegan now and you and your channel help(ed) me sooo so much! 😊 Great video, again! Loved that it was a longer one and that Crystal was more involved in front of the camera - switched up the dynamics. 😃 Enjoyed it. Stay healthy. Greetings from Germany. 😊
Love your videos (authentic, practical, evidenced-based). I prepared as you all did regarding buying beans and lentils and frozen goods etc. I live in a small town in Alabama where most people do not eat healthy, so the produce shelves are packed full as normal (hope it continues) and the shelves for other things are low. Thanks for sharing your day. I have a bouldering gym in my attic, so I need to go workout now.
wow im never this early. Love the channel guys. My 3 and 4 year old love watching you workout, They say your the muscle man
That's great! Hahah. See if your little ones can spot our backyard neighbours peeping over the fence right at the beginning. (*Hint, pause at 1 second and in-between my ear and the hanging rope)
@@Simnettnutrition I rewatched the area you mentioned a couple of times but I didn't see them. All them same thank you so much for the reply you are awesome guys keep up the good work!
@@Simnettnutrition omg i see a guy, thats soo funny ahahhaa
Bravo! Heartfelt and real with some humor. You two are beautiful souls. ♥️
More videos guys! Especially in this quarantine. Everything is bare, and everything is crazy. Getting as much produce as possible. Trying not to go out unless its necessary.
I hope you guys are well!!
I’m a home body, so other than not going to the gym, my life hasn’t changed. I’ve found a couple weight lifting videos on TH-cam to keep my muscles from shrinking and I still go for walks. The hubby has an “Essential” job, so we are ok for now 🤞🏻🤞🏻...I have well stocked cupboards, fridge and freezer (no hoarding!) and hope to find TP next week. Wish me luck 😮 ...thank you Derek and Crystal for sharing and for the compassionate words. It will all be well soon enough. ♥️🌱♥️🙏🏻 Namaste!
Thanks to both of you! Positive and fun! Be safe!
Thank you both for the positive vibes! Here in France we are on lock down. We are only allowed to go out to go grocery shopping or to go to the doctor. We have to fill out an authorization paper each time we go out. It's like living in a movie or a nightmare...I am still working because I'm a pharmacist but the streets of my town are empty. Stay safe everyone
Hey Derek you guys are awesome. Thanks for showing us these recipes and also the motivation you provide with each videos. I have always used to have my diet heavy meat based but now with your recipes I have learned to balance it with vegan diets and my health has definitely improved so much and I feel way better. All thanks to you and your lovely lady for motivating me. Stay safe you both.
Great video Dereck, Keep them coming to keep your fans sane in these hard times.
You're both such beautiful people
I am on the west coast of Florida. All non essential business closed. Grocery is limited hours. It feels like a zombie apocalypse, but without the zombies! Thanks for all the great content. Stay healthy and safe 😊
Hi Derek and Crystal, thanks for continuing to post videos and being so gracious and caring and kind during this difficult time. I'm in Seattle and my living room is my new gym! I went to our local produce stand and bought a case of artichokes. 🤣 stay well!
Thanks for keeping us smiling. Love you both.
We're in quarantine since Monday in France.
Just allowed to (and with a 'certificate') :
- go shop our food (ahah, that's really hard when people panic buy)
- go to work for people who can't do it from home
- go all alone run if we really want to, but not too far
- go take your children if you're divorced
- go give your blood
As I am at home because I don't have work at the moment, I already know how to fill my time. So, no problem (appart I don't go for an hour walk everyday, just run once a week to not go too much outside).
I suppose the Earth was too tired of humans shits...
For people who don't know what to do :
- sport at home
- meditation (you can go inside and work on you, that's not loosing your time, trust me)
- stretching
- learn new languages or anything else (mooc, memerise, etc)
- draw, paint
- play music, listen to music, sing
- read, write
- watch movies or series (not too many but still) or documentary
- choose the good videos to watch and don't watch a ton of shits or a ton of corona related video : you're allowed to smile and laugh
- take care of the people that are nearby like family or friends (I don't who you live with but hey! You can)
- share time at the phone or skype etc whith people you love, but not to much if it depressed you
- write a journal?
- do you spring cleaning, you have time right now
- if you have a balcony or a garden, spend time there, it's cool and nice!
- if you're allowed too, choose hours when people do not walk/run a lot (like before 9-10 in the morning) and go for a walk once a week, not too far, but still
- cook and learn
Take care everybody! ~♥~
And feed animals.... take care🌹
Thanks for this video! It's so easy to fall out of routine during these crazy times. Thanks for your workout and food ideas, my 3 year old thought your dinner looked so good and asked me to make it for her. We will be giving it a whirl tonight. Stay safe and keep the vids coming, it's nice to watch something positive for a change! Cheers from Ontario.
Love you two, your positive message and your sincerity. Take care from NH!!
Thank you for your positivity, it takes me away from the scary things that are happening out in the world right now. In the UK it seems pretty similar to you guys. Groceries are back on the shelves, but restrictions to queueing and store access, trying to use online services where we can. Trying to stay fit and well.. Much love and keep well
Thanks for the fun light and warm video, food looks delicious, please continue bringing joy to the world :)
You guys are so real and natural. I really enjoy your channels ❣️❣️👍🙏
Watching your old "random" videos help me so much to distress. Thank you guys from Nice in France
I'm already having a hard time keeping my toddler entertained. We're building him a playset and I ordered some some Lebert equalizers so hopefully adding all that outdoor play and exercise will help pass the time! Stay healthy you two! ❤
Love you guys, you're always an inspiration with your positivity and energy! And yummy food! 😋
Keep well.
It sounds like it's about the same here in Missouri as you guys, went to the store and just got what we needed and bulk items as well like rice and beans. Thank you for your videos, I find so much inspiration from them and your positive vibes just radiate. I'm glad you guys are doing okay, we're all in this together. Love your channel so much!!
Thanks for the video. Good to see familiar faces while isolating at home. The food looks good too. Stay well!
I'm a nurse and already exhausted. Thanks for the positivity and reminder to stay healthy
Love your channel! Thanks for being so positive and up beat. You all are so caring and understanding! Tough times right now, your video really cheered me up and I love the shout outs at the end! So much going on and taking the time to make a video and express your concerns and care for everyone is so awesome!
Love you both! Great video. Derek's message at the end was obviously heart felt and really nice to see even though I'm not one of those people who deserve so much thanks and appreciation.
Thanks for sharing yourselves to lighten our day! Love you two! STAY HEALTHY!
Love you videos as always! Thanks for being so genuine and sharing beautiful meals to spread health and knowledge. You're both awesome! Love from Ontario in these crazy times.
You both bring so much positivity to what you do. I really enjoy watching your videos and am enjoying all the tips and recipes
As a brand new vegan (literally 3 weeks in) I've found that I continue to come back to your channel.
This video is just what I needed! I was smiling the whole time so thank you for bringing a little joy to uncertain times 😊 The same situation in Australia, all non-essential businesses closing, my university has moved all classes online, my work has shut for 4 weeks minimum so using my time to focus on my nursing studies. Wish I was already a nurse so I could help the amazing healthcare workers take care of the infected ❤️
I think this video is the perfect balance of light and fluffy and serious covid-19 scary reality but wrapped in your usual awesome positive vibe ❣ thanks Derek!
This was fun!!! And the meal looked great. In Texas we put salsa on everything.
I’m a delivery driver and so is my husband. Often we are not just working paycheck to paycheck, but day to day- so all of this was somewhat nutty to us. It started as a consumer crisis just based on how people apparently even in Canada acted at grocery stores. The good thing for my family is that delivery is in high demand. And the platform that I work with here in Texas is affiliated with our largest grocery store. We are working, and giving back to people in need. People that have self quarantined, seniors that can’t get out, and maybe even ones that are sick. We are doing a lot of drop at the door orders to practice social distancing. It’s been crazy bc this was also my step sons spring break! So his home school hasn’t started yet- although I truly believe he is a gifted kid and I am so thankful that he has tested above his grade level, and I don’t believe he will get behind, no matter how long this lasts.
Also, Sounds like there is a medication that helps it, and it’s rolling out Tuesday. It’s also not a vaccine but an oral pill. It will be interesting to see how the remainder of this mayhem plays out. A few things about this virus are true, the cleaner you are the less it will penetrate you, the healthier you are the easier and better you can fight it- whereas the majority of deaths worldwide are connected to people with pre existing conditions. It’s scary because it can live on surfaces, but the pro is that bleach, soap, alcohol, and even hydrogen peroxide can kill it. I definitely agree that staying home is the best policy. Be clean, eat clean. 💚💚🌿🌿
Good job! Both of you str very nice around cool people. I'm smiling watching. Feels like I'm with u both. I can hest crystal laughing.
You guys make healthy, vibrant living look SO easy (and fun...who knew?!)...you inspire me! To one of my fav channels...thank you heaps!! Stay well and enjoy the journey...the best is yet to come! 😃
Sending my love right back to you and crystal, (Brooklyn NY) only the essential stores are open. Lunch and Dinner look mouth-watering, Keep safe! Peace and Love!
I really like you guys. I like the relationship you have with each other. Seems like you genuinely enjoy each other :)
You are both awesome. Thanks for a positive uplifting video.
Thanks guys, I love the good vibe that you put out! So inspiring.
I have a lot of spare time now with work closed and being stuck at home. So I've taken up sketching, and one of the pictures I drew was Crystal from one of her Instagram posts haha. She's a beauty so it was a pleasureto draw. I encourage bored people to try some art or music!
Let's see it! You should send it to her on Instagram. :D
Stay healthy and thank you for all the information you share. I'm just over a month vegan and feeling great physically and emotionally. All the best.
Awesome video Derek and Crystal. Thanks for bringing such a good content in difficult times like these ❤️ staying positive is so important to moving forward . Looking forward to the next video . May God bless you and keep 🙏 you safe.
Great video. I live in King County here in Seattle. So impressed by everyone working together to fight this pandemic!
Praying hard that the curve will flatten. I enjoy seeing your workouts but as a woman I would love to see what Crystal does to work out too especially now that we are doing so at home. Thanks for all you both shared today! You both made me smile! Stay safe and healthy!
😀🙏🏽💓Jillian
Thanks for the smiles you two! I just flew back to Alaska and so now my husband and I are self-isolating for 14 days to make sure we didn't pick up the virus at Seatac or planes. I had stocked well (freezer/dried goods) before we left but now I'm using the Fred Meyer order online and pickup for fresh fruits and veggies. REALLY works great and no human contact! Only thing is... bought bananas and "thought" it was a bunch. Got ONE! And no, I'm NOT sharing with my husband! HAHA Stay safe everyone. I'm having lots of fun with long walks through deep snow, exercising, video chatting with friends and family, cooking, and trying to stay in a routine! I have a wonderful husband and loving dog. It's all good. My heart goes out to those that are losing jobs and feeling alone.
Stuck in our little flat here in Paris, so jealous of your back garden. Fully stocked up with vegan goodness. Doing living room workouts as best as I can (no pull though). Super calm outside, and the air smells so fresh compared to usual. Netflix, Nintendo, vegan food, and pushups
Self isolation is just THE BEST way to prevent a serious overload of the healthcare system and I am so glad you've talked about it in such an uplifting way! That's what being a good influencer is all about! Thank you!
Also, the video was so so fun to watch! I've had a smile on my face pretty much all the time!
And finally, I truly admire the ease with which you've done the exercises having that 40pounds on your chest. Honestly insane :D
Anyways, sending you both lost of love!
Stay safe and enjoy the positive aspects of that weird time we're in!
Thanks for your positivity guys. x
Crystal is adorable and we love seeing her on your videos.
Love right back at ya! It would be great to see some workouts that don't include equipment for those of us who don't have much of anything. I want something that can keep improving my strength. Stay safe and healthy!!
Yes, I do plan on doing that! Hard for me to reach everyone at whatever level they are at, but we have some ideas. :D
@@Simnettnutrition I understand! I have been working from home (as so many of us now are) for the last three days and am really missing access to the fitness room at work with dumbbells, kettlebells, etc. Time to get creative! And with this sunshine, time to get outside.
Hey, thank you guys for making us smile in this hard times! My day got so much better after receiving positive energy from this video!
Thank you and stay safe 🙏🙂
I love how you don't measure! That is the wonderful thing about whole food plant based, it's hard to mess it up! And the fixes are easy: a little flaxseed to thicken it!
Thank you! This is just what we needed to make a day of confinement in house better. Stay well!
Watching this on March 19th 2021, almost exactly one year later and remembering that time when things were just crazy with being out of work and everything shutting down. I started getting depressed and let my healthy eating and active lifestyle go by the wayside a bit. Canceled my gym membership due to covid and put on a few pounds. But I held on to healthy habits due to it being ingrained in my life and bounced back and now I’m eating about 90% plant based and the outdoor parks are my gym!
Great vid guys, appreciate it as always. Hope you, and your loved ones are well. Can't wait for this curb to be flattened!! Love from Dublin Ireland
Thank you for the grounding yet fun aspects of your video. You can order foods still through the mail. For those who give people a hard time for hoarding, the less you go out to stores the safer you are so do conscientious hoarding. Please everybody stay safe.
Great to get a break from the News and watch another awesome Simnet video! Thanks for keeping it real guys! I’m in Hong Kong, just got home from NYC this morning, have a week off now before my next excursion into the craziness. Thanks for the inspiration to help get through this tough time!!
Crystal makes every video 10x better
Hello from Colorado. Thanks for sharing your good ideas and good energy. You're the best! I know I'll be making a lot of insta pot 'quarantine' creations. One thing I've been using is vegetable bouillon for the stock. It is a small jar of concentrated seasoned veggie base, so a little goes a long way - one tsp. for 8 oz of water. It's great to have on hand. Stay safe & healthy everyone!
Love the playful spirit in both of you
