Hello people who Waits for MaCenna's videos every week 😊🙋🏻♀️🌷
Hello girl! 😂❤
Me😀
Helloooo
Heyyy!!
Me!
for pregnancy workouts i would look for ones that focus on your hips and pelvic floor. labor is going to be the most intense workout of your life and preparing your muscles will do wonders during labor and postpartum. you’re going to do amazing, I believe in you MaCenna! 💛
❤
Yes!! Keagle ( I’m not sure how to spell it), Keagle, Keagle!!😂
Depends on people, some women's never did anything and the baby pop out in less than 10 minutes

Kegels are actually really bad for your pelvic floor.
I did Kegels at my desk, at dinner, watching TV. I pushed my daughter out alone. One push. Lucky I wasn't at the end of the table.
Im a pregnancy Yoga teacher, over 20 years, I also train yoga teachers to teach pregnancy and postnatal as well as baby yoga. I would be more than happy to create a plan for you if you like. No cost, as a thank you for all your amazing videos x
This is so sweet of you!
aw, im almost in tears at how sweet this is! (No.. I'm not pregnant. Just emotional. Lol!)
That is so kind oh my gosh

McCenna find a local yoga place that specializes in PG ladies. Start getting to know soon to be mommies around you.
Because i care about you and the fam's wellness... according to health sites, washing fruit and veg and storing in frig actually creates an environment for growth of bacteria. Its suggested that you only wash just prior to eating.
The ikea closets in the room. Maybe a cool idea to balance the room better could have been 2 on both sides of that window. On that wall and then making a little window bench with even more storage under ?
Loveee this idea
That’s a great idea!
Oh l just saw what you meant !! … oh yes that would be wonderful … great idea 🤩
Speaking from experience……be sure to put some paper under/around all your wax candles in the drawers because they will discolor whatever they’re laying on as well as each other.😢
19:19 take some painters tape and put them from the inside out like a tab, to open until the real handles come in.
Great job reorganizing ❤.
Best thing I did when I was pregnant was go to pregnancy yoga classes, building a bigger community of other mums is amazing! It makes you feel less alone in your pregnancy. Also having other soon to be mums going through the same thing that are closer to you is so important! I'm so excited for you and romeo, having your first baby is so exciting and scary at the same time! Sending love and light to the both of you xx
Xo, xo 😘🫂 you got this MaCenna.
You need this behind your couch in your living room! Probably a better spot for your camera stuff and business stuff!
Great idea,plus then Romeo can really have his room.🤣😅😂
@@lauramitchell6725exactly what I was thinking lol
Someone may have already posted this for you, Macenna, but frozen fruits and vegetables, as long as they don’t have anything added to them, are an excellent, readily available source. I buy the organic frozen blueberries and strawberries, green beans and broccoli at Costco. I decant, separately, some of the frozen strawberries and blueberries about once a week into glass snapware containers and keep them in the refrigerator to use throughout the week. Of course you can use them right of the bag frozen in smoothies, too, without thawing. The green beans and broccoli, I take right from the freezer into a steamer, smoothie, etc. No thawing necessary. Frozen produce is usually fresher than what you find at the farmers market and supermarkets, etc. because it hasn’t spent time on trucks; it’s usually frozen within hours of being picked from the field. Unlike fresh, frozen produce doesn’t go bad = less waste. Glad you’re back! Looking forward to lots of fun content!
I live for the frozen strawberries in my morning smoothie!
Vanilla Greek yogurt, strawberries and milk. Sooo yummy!
@@kebert2thumbsupI make a daily morning smoothie with frozen strawberries, low sugar orange juice &/or coconut milk, collagen & protein powder, chia seeds, & a couple packs of stevia. I absolutely love it! 😊
Such great ideas!!!
Frozen products come in single use plastic waste though, and the product might be imported. For those reasons I avoid frozen fruit and vegetables. Also certain frozen products shouldn’t be consumed without cooking first. Here (Australia) we’ve had cases of Hepatitis from dirty imported frozen berries. Fresh and local is always the better option but, personal preference.
Could you use the pool maybe if it's warm enough. Swimming would be a great and relaxed exercise Xx
McKenna, put a barrier under your wax candles so they don't stain your new cabinet. Colored candle will do that! Looks great!
I was thinking the same thing as she was putting them in the drawer. Actually why not use one of the clear containers if she has another one?
Colored candles will also stain the lighter colored candles.. I wrap mine by color in paper towels.
That was my thought as well, and between each color, because they can bleed on each other
I recommend securing the bottom of the drawers with wood glue. The weight of everything will start to cause the bottom to eventually sag. It’s honestly one of my biggest issues with ikea studf
Good to know!
While you’re waiting for the handles use some painters tape to make a tab that you can use to open the doors. It works so well!
Make sure you use that pool during your pregnancy. It relieves joint pressure and is super relaxing
I love Yoga with Adrienne! I don’t know if she has any pregnancy specific videos, but a lot of her videos are slow paced movements and she’s really good at talking you through the exercises to make sure you’re moving properly for your body. Plus her voice is super soothing (I love her videos when I feel overwhelmed or anxious) 👍
I remember seeing your yoga mats in a vlog in the spare bedrooms closet. I don't know why I remember that.
Haha! I hopes she lets you know if you were right.
MaCenna, let us know where you find the yoga mats.
For the pillows and such get big vacuum seal bags
Oh!! Good point!!
Yes! They make such a big difference!
I'm loving the slow flow. Perfect to wind down after a day at the office.
Hi MaCenna! So I am currently 37 weeks and a few days, I have been doing Sarah’s Day Body and Bump ebook since 13 weeks, (that’s when it starts) and have absolutely loved it this pregnancy, I have a two year old daughter. I’ve felt much more fit this pregnancy as I’ve only missed one week of exercises. She does 3 days a week of exercise and two days of stretching with pelvic floor work and an emphasis on that and lots of hip opening exercises. Could not recommend it enough.
I would recommend Pregnancy and Postpartum TV. She has a ton of quick workout videos that are labeled what trimester it is best for, and they are in all different styles ranging from yoga to HIIT.
Second this! She’s great.
Bumping this as well! Loved Pregnancy and Postpartum TV here on TH-cam for exercising, LABOR PREP, and postpartum safe stretching for diastasis recti!! ❤
Yes! Came here to suggest her. I did her workouts in my first pregnancy. I love that she has short and long videos depending on the time you have.
Because this is Romero's space and the taupe cupboards are nicely streamlined, could you attach internal 'push touch latches' to keep his room, his own. Regardless of how many lovely candles are tucked inside ! Interestingly, the drawers are streamlined. There will be a lot going on - basketballs, his new chair ...
That's actually a really good idea. Silly as it sounds, it gives more space in the room. Handles have a sort of "personal space" that makes them bigger. I suppose it's just how our brains work to keep us from running into things! 😊
Just to let you know, when it gets warm, red candles bleed onto whatever you have them next to. May want to wrap them in something or separate them from the other candles.
You can use apple cider vinegar and water to clean your veggies and rinse. Idk if you have an Aldi in LA, but they have great produce prices when you can’t find something at the farmer’s market.
You could add brass label plates with the paper inside on the solid drawers in Romeo’s room so they look like decorative boxes but also functional for you!
For the inside drawers of the cabinets, you could do leather pulls. I can’t remember if you or Drew talked about them a while back, but that’d be cute and minimal and probably not obstruct the outer doors!
I noticed there were large enough spaces between the drawers to put your hand into to pull the drawers open so they could just not use them if they want.
Yess or brass edge/tab pulls that mount on top of the drawer fronts. The brass could match the outer door handles!
I was literally going to type this and saw your comment! 🙌🥰
You can use th4e broccoli stalks stir fried, steamed or made into broccoli slaw.
Mecenna make a closet under your stairs…it’s a wasted space you can utilize for your camera storage or seasonal stuff
Ikea storage and organisers always fit everything like magic. They are a dream and give you twice as much as you need. I love how there are so many ways to combine everything while still looking minimal.
I would suggest looking into pelvic floor therapy exercises and incorporate those. They’ll help prepare your pelvic floor and core muscles for labor and help your abs go back into place afterwards. I literally do mine while in bed! They’re most stretches and don’t use any weights. Once I had my baby I just used her as my weights for them to help work them out even harder and help everything go back into place lol good luck!
Working out in your pool would be ideal for you to keep moving and limber.
You have such a beautiful pregnancy glow, you look absolutely amazing!!! So happy for you both and loving your 2024 blog content already ❤😊
awww thank you so much!
Off topic but is caffeine allowed in the US? While pregnancy, because in Europe is advice to cut in half or not at all @@xomacennavlogs
The recommendation is no more than 200mg of caffeine in a 24 hour period stretched out. It is also recommended to not increase your caffeine intake or start using caffeine if you haven’t consumed it regularly before pregnancy.
One 8 oz cup of homemade coffee is about 80 mg so you can have 2 throughout the day. A 12oz starbucks cold brew is about 150 mg so you should only drink about half at a time.
That farmers market was such a treat as I sit here with snow on the ground and temperatures below zero! It just looked amazing!
Hello from France ! For some pregnancy classes, there is a youtuber named Jo, from the "Grow with Jo" channel and she has some good and safe pregnancy classes online (she was pregnant while filming them). She is very dynamic and it's a breath of fresh air when you do her workouts because she is smiling all the time. I always feel very energized after those sessions. And I love your channel, you give me such great ideas and I hope to be able to convince my parents to transforme our home a bit this summer. Congratulations on your pregnancy !
Highly recommend Yin Yoga with Devi Daly :). If you keep your avocados in the fridge and take them out a day before you want them, they will stay good for a long long time.
That's what I do with avocados, too! It's sort of the opposite of what a lot of people do, but it totally works. If it's super firm, I'll put it out a couple of days ahead.
Grow with jo on TH-cam is such a gem! She started her TH-cam business when she was pregnant, and has plenty of videos and an app as well, but it's paid. Although she is so great I just want to support her efforts and pay for it anyways. Secretly my favorite is her encanto dance one
The food market looked yum! Handy dog treat hint, keep the broccoli stalks for Kinsley, dogs love to eat them raw and they’re great healthy snacks for them with lots of fibre and the crunch helps keep their teeth healthy if you don’t cook them. You can also eat the stalks too, they’re quite tasty 😋
You can also peel the broccoli stalks and eat them raw or chop them and put them in your recipes!
For the drawers that don't have room for a handle, you could screw on a piece if leather as a pull. It would lay super flat and would be helpful as a grip.
Hey, did you consider switching rooms with Romeo and use his room for the nursery?
I was thinking how perfect it would be if they had the larger room upstairs as their master, Romeos room changed to the nursery like you mentioned ( so they are on the same floor), then the downstairs as a guest room, office, Romeos space, storage for her candles, etc. They could even use the dining area off the kitchen as a playroom. I’m sure whatever they do will work for them.
If you fill your sink halfway with water, add vinegar, about a cup and pour in some baking soda, it will remove all chemicals and pesticides from your produce😊
I do this , it's safe, cleans and makes your fruit & veggies last longer
Protip: save the broccoli stems for soup! it's a great way to use the gnarly bits. i keep a bag in my freezer. Then, all i literally do is - put in pot, cover with water or broth, cook til soft, blend (in blender or with a stick blender, either works), add something creamy (I usually use whatever needs to be cleaned out of my fridge, be it cheese, milk, sour cream, I think I used cottage cheese once lol), and season to taste.
Love it when organization works perfectly
I'm a huge fan McCenna! You've mentioned trying to not to use plastic in a variety of videos which I commend.I know it is very hard to avoid completely. That said, I have seen you use and purchase single use water bottles many times over the years. I would love to see you using/promoting reusable water bottles. Great video as always!
Just a hint. Attach the cupboards to the wall and make sure handles are high enough so a growing bub can't latch on to handle and pull cupboard over on themselves. Lots of accidents happen and we can't watch them 24/7
Not Figi, Fugi. You can grow that apple in your area. Plus you should consider growing your own Xmas tree Keep it in a pot by your pool. I keep my trees about 10 years before they get woo big. Good time to buy now so you have a whole year to shop it. I grow Monterey Pines.
Ok it wasn’t just me that noticed that. I had to look up Fiji apples because I had never heard of them. Well they don’t exist. I’m in central California, they grow well here
Fuji
Fuji are also usually the sweetest apple on any scaled chart 😂
I love the way the sunlight plays on your new cabinets.☀️✨
MOM?!!!!! I saw you in the comments!!!! 🤔🤭🤣🥰😍 Do you know yet if they are having a boy or girl?! Not sure if we missed the announcement?
Macenna, I bought Ellori and Arlow and they smell soooooo good!!! Oh my God, now no other candles will do in my apartment. Love them so much!!!
Happy to see you back in operation you can see how you are glowing ❤❤❤❤❤
You mentioned in previous video that there is a vent for air conditioner. You can still put a topper on the IKEA cabinet but just vent the topper to allow air conditioner an outlet into room. Just a u
Number one important exercise would be bridges. Best for pelvic floor muscles. I’m over 60 years old. I should have done them forever. Post pregnancy exercises are not encouraged enough.
I just love your videos! We’ve been snowed in here in Mississippi so I’ve been binge watching all your stuff. Then I told my husband I’m about to go paint some rooms. 😂😅. Congrats as well! ❤
aww thank you so much!!! hahahaha that would totally be me too if I were snowed in!!
So sweet seeing your little baby, Kinsley there helping you put those drawers in. 😂
That morning skin care and minimal makeup feeling >
I took a prenatal swimming class…it was great!
I bet that feels so good to get all that done and organized, nesting is so satisfying ❤
Love the Ikea shelves. You can be so organized!!
I'm so glad you're back. Your videos make me happy.
Pomme is beautiful! I just love it! She’s so sweet and talented ❤
Love your cozy reset. Yoga will be so good for you and baby. Yoga good for all of us at any stage/age of life. In my early 40’s I was getting significant hip and back pains, so I started doing yoga stretches and the pains completely went away. Wishing you the best during your pregnancy.
Hot take on the veg, but actually it's better to store them unwashed. The reason is the bacterial biome on them is balanced and the bacteria actually keep each other's populations in check. If you wash them then you get a mono-colony of one type of bacteria growing on them with no competition and they just take over and spoil the food. Learned this from a microbiologist.
😆 7:40 your nonstick spray sounds like a race car. 🏎️ caught me off guard and I had to go back and listen to it a few more times.
I got some black and brass/gold 16” handles from amazon for my pax cabinets. Over thanksgiving I took out our wall of his and her closets with the sliding doors and put in a wall of pax I love how I can organize all our clothes better.
How about a little cut out on the top of each drawer inside your cabinet so you don't need a pull
Happy to see I’m not the only one with blankets on my couch. I have two cats. 😀
Suggestion for your tapers. To keep the wax residue from getting on your drawer, use a container that you can wash.
Hi Macenna …. If you double click your Nespresso machine within two seconds, the light will turn turquoise, and you can make a double shot espresso with your small cup and it fits in the small coffee cups just a little tip so you can enjoy your new small coffee cup! Cant wait for your next video…. Happy Sunday ✨
idk if someone has said this yet, but a little tip to help with tight fit cabinets that don't have handles yet: use some painters tape and make some tabs, stick them to the inside of the door, and make them big enough that you can easily grab them when the door is shut :)
You know what's funny I watch you religiously I'm here trying to think where you put the yoga mats😂
Me too! They were in one of the places she showed tuesday, she even pointed them out lol.
@@nicolemanukeu2598 lol 🤣
Yes, I too,live for these videos
Use a towel bar for a long handle since long handle bars are hard to source! I’ve found some delicate looking towel bars that I’ve used as handles before!
MeCenna, U r such a JOY to watch, always so postive in which i admire in U. Ur pregency agrees with U. It shows in ur glow on ur face again congrats. Love the storage system, great job. Hi kinsley the adsistant.
Pregnancy yoga with a guided relaxation at the end is the perfect way to train your body and your mind for the experience of giving birth. I looked back at your first vlog in your new home, your tears of happiness when your Mum turned up. You are going to fall in love with that amazing bath upstairs in a few months time, I loved that bath from the moment I saw it. It was so lovely to see going out for a walk with Romeo and Kinsley in your last vlog. You are so right Macenna, go with the flow and keep on glowing!!!
One thing I loved when I was pregnant not necessarily for exercise but an exercise ball. When your lower back is hurting and you just can’t be comfortable and sit on the ball and it just takes all the pressure off your pelvis and your lower back and it feels really good and it’s life saver.
Swimming laps is definitely good for pregnancy
Holy cow those drawers are so deep. Dang, I think I need a couple of those cabinet!!! ❤❤❤
Love the Shakespeare and Co tote!! My fav Paris bookstore!
Kinda jealous of your LA temps right about now- we haven't gotten above freezing for a week and there is more to come. Imagine-next time you lay hands on those Christmas candles you will be a mom!
16:34 😱😱 the possibility of you and your mom having a booth at the Fredericksburg Flea just gave me soooo much life!💕😭😃 been watching since you first got the cottage and have always hoped you would do something like your talk of a pop up shop in LA down here in Texas!!
Also so happy for you and Romeo! Congratulations on the baby! I can’t wait to see what you do for the nursery💕
Don't forget, buy and eat seasonal fruits and vegetables. And remember, fruit is fructose, sugar! Better to eat whole, and the sweeter the fruit higher the sugar concentration, vegetables too, eg corn, no bueno.❤
If you put a paper towel in with your greens it absorbs the moisture and helps them last longer 🙂
Try everything but the bagel on your avocado bread. It is the best!
Walking while listening to Audible books etc is addictive. It makes you want to walk every day and it doesn't even matter where bc you are so engrossed in what you are listening to 🥰
I get so excited when your videos appear in my feed. The shelves look really nice and I can see the long handles. Loved that vessel color maybe for your next drop, I’ve already burned my first Noel (which I love!) and lighting my second one. Take care!
Yes I agree I hope she goes with the long handles same/similar to the cottage fridge
You don't need to buy a veggie wash. What I do is just fill up a sink with cold water and add a splash of apple cider vinegar, let everything sit for 10 mins. and that does the job perfectly well!
In regards to exercise. Given my time again I would focus on upper body. Those babies get heavy especially when they won’t let you put them down and they won’t let you sit down. Strong arms and back will help.
The broccoli stem is the best bit especially in stir fry.
In Australia themselves cucumbers are called Lebanese cucumbers, and I agree much better than the continental / English ones.
I think I saw a yoga mat in the closet in the guest/future baby's room where you have your camera gear.
Those Ikea cupboards look sooo nice . Going to check them out !
Ooo saw your “candle drawer” and a dark amber color of your vessel.. 😍 love that one
i would def put drawers in the bottom too. It is going to be very hard to get anything in and out of that space crawling on the floor trying to reach things from the small opening. you will never use it without a drawer to pull out.
Strawberries 🍓 blueberries 🫐 bananas 🍌. When the farmers market closes down for winter ❄️.
I buy all my fruit @ Costco. They have the best fruit in winter 😊
If you really want some, possibly a kind of flat, strip of leather nailed on both sides could work as a handle with that little bit of space. Might not be enough room still, but maybe!
I'm so excited for the nursery and to see what your vision will be. Eeeeeek!! So excited for you and Romeo! The whole Fredericksburg booth sounds so fun!!! Had to say I have a little bit of my Noel candle left and I'm scared to burn it because I love it so much and want to savor it. I did buy Arlo and can't wait to get it!!!
Yoga with Adrienne is the best yoga instructor on TH-cam. She’s such a sweet soul and everything is adjustable from beginner to advanced.
Frozen berries are frozen at peak and I buy them for my kids smoothies. Can't believe you dident buy a french market shopping basket last year but I bought a old fashioned wagon after baby #2 room for both of them and groceries! Any time your avocados aren't as ripe as you want put a spotty banana in a paper bag with as many as you need ripe and 24 to 36 hours voila! Save foam to build protective nests for them, you will need to take lots of pictures of the wee one!
Swimming is soo good for pregnant mommy’s. Also light dance routines are good too. Of course check with your doc before u start anything.
Why don't you move two cabinets on each side of the window on the end? Give more space??
Is there enough room?
So excited to see the finshed nursery. It will be more than beautiful I am sure. Know you guys have waited a long time for this precious baby. I am so excited for you guys.
The way I was so concerned and confused at whatever tangled electrical wiring was behind you whilst working on the storage closet…until I realized it was two people playing basketball 😅😅
Sorry to ask what happen to the other house ?
I could hv missed a video that explained why it is stop !!!
I know. I was SO looking forward to a winter visit and decorate video. My expectations were built up so much on it.
She has talked about it in several videos. She will be getting back to renovations there at some point.
Macenna, you make your avocado toast exactly like I do, so can I make a suggestion: use Smoky Paprika Chipotle red pepper instead of just plain red pepper. Life changing! Lol.
