I Ordered The First 5 Free Things From Wish @safiya

Safiya Nygaard I went back to Wish and ordered the first 5 free things I found on my feed! Wish is a bit of a suspicious website to begin with but last time I ordered stuff from Wish I was surprised by how much I liked it - but when I heard they started offering items for free I wanted to see what they were like.

We Went On 7 Dates In 7 Decades

Safiya Nygaard 2024-09-26 | Thanks to Olay for sponsoring us & helping make this video come to life! You can check out Olay’s new cleansing melts here: https://www.Olay.com/CleansingMelts #ad

So as some of you guys might know, I am a bit of a historical fashion nerd - over the years, we’ve done a number of decade fashion videos about the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, *and* 00s, we’ve tried on vintage wedding dresses, and we have even gotten a full 18th century Colonial Williamsburg makeover.

And whenever we go on these little journeys to the past, it’s always really fun when we’re able to have Tyler dress up as well to explore the decades with me (his 1980s Flock of Eagles haircut still comes to me in the sweetest of dreams).

So we decided to go full couples historical makeover - and do a whole video of them! So while we were in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, we got 7 head-to-toe historical makeovers (with hair, makeup, and outfits, oh my) and went on 7 historically accurate dates!

Which decade was your favorite? Did Tyler and I pull off the looks? What era should we travel to next?

I Tested Viral TikTok Cleaning Products

Safiya Nygaard 2024-06-01 | Download Opera Browser for free at https://opr.as/05-Opera-Browser-SafiyaNygaard! Thanks again to Opera for sponsoring this video 🕺🏻

A couple of quick notes!!

We do think that our results with the ULV light sprayer with only water could have been coincidental - as it ~was~ a pretty small sample size. Probably the answer there is that it definitely works... if you put disinfectant in it!

Most of these products (or at least some version of them) are also sold on Amazon and AliExpress - however, we wanted to purchase the products from the websites linked to from the tiktok accounts just to "take them at face value" and try out the products that they were selling specifically!

Also, I said "RIP Tyler" because he is a sixers fan and they lost this year - other than that, Tyler is fine!!

HELLO FRIENDS!! So... has anyone else stumbled upon this side of tiktok... you know the one... the semi-surreal, thousands-of-tiny-packages, smart-home-gadget, ASMR-cleaning-tok? And no I'm not just trying to optimize this description with keywords - that's actually how I would describe it. Well, I've been over there for a couple of *years*, in the land of blue light sprayers, weird bluetooth speakers thrown into buckets of water with live crabs, and shoe dryers everywhere. So I finally gave in and tracked down 4 different smart home gadgets from various somewhat-suspicious looking websites.

So we tested out the smart window roomba, the ULV blue light sprayer, the fruit and vegetable cleaner, and the collapsible mini washing machine - and tried to figure out, to the best of our ability, what the heck is going on here. What did you guys think of these viral TikTok cleaning products? And what should we investigate next??

I Tried Rug Tufting For The First Time

Safiya Nygaard 2024-05-07 | HELLO FRIENDS!! As a chronic craft content consumer, I've always wanted to try tufting my own custom rug - so we headed to Freestyle Ceramics & Tufting in Chicago to attempt to conquer the art of rug tufting!! I wept, I cried, my arm died - but at the end, I think I finally got the hang of it - and ended up with a cute midnight sky blob design. What do you guys think of our rug tufting creation? And what craft should we try out next??

Big thank you to Erni and the rest of the crew over at Freestyle Ceramics & Tufting in Chicago! You can check them out on Instagram here: instagram.com/freestyle_ceramics_tufting

HELLO FRIENDS!! Yes, that’s right. We’ve reached the ultimate candle destination. Today we’re melting together every Yankee Candle and combining them into one GIANT franken-candle! With 223 candles and over 1,700 scent notes - this thing ended up quite the odorous beast.
What did you guys think of the final franken? And what should we franken next?? I can’t promise it’ll be giant.

Quick correction to the VO: there are actually 255 Yankee Candle stores in the US across 41 states!

I Took A 52-Hour Sleeper Train From San Francisco To Chicago

Safiya Nygaard 2023-12-18 | HELLO FRIENDS!! This week we’re taking a 52-hour Amtrak sleeper train across the country! So, I've fallen over to the "overnight sleeper train" side of youtube - and I am HOOKED, people. And after watching hours and hours of train content, I decided - it was time to try my own hand at it. So we took the California Zephyr train, which travels from San Francisco to Chicago (and also the other direction as well) - across 7 states and over 2,400 miles!! We experienced everything from delays to endless sauce packets to MANY rock sightings. Would you try traveling across the US by train? And where do you think we should we go next? Or better yet, how should we get there?

Following A 1930s Magazine Makeup Tutorial 💄

Safiya Nygaard 2023-12-01 | so i heard about this vintage makeup magazine from the 1930s, and knew we had to try it out!! the magazine is full of tips and tutorials on how to do your makeup in a way that best suits your face, hair color, & complexion (though for a pretty limited range of skin tones). according to the magazine, i’m a ✨ spanish brunette ✨, which apparently means i need lots of rouge and purple eyeshadow (even on my double chin)! let me know what you guys think - are there any other decade looks you guys would want to see?? 🤔

also shout out to @erinparsonsmakeup for the video inspo!!

I Bought The Same Dress For $4, $30, $60, and $200

Safiya Nygaard 2023-11-26 | HELLO FRIENDS!! So, I found something... a few months ago, while we were trying to film a video where I let TikTok ads pick my outfits, I stumbled upon... this dress. It goes by a few names but it's most commonly some version of the "floral midriff shaper corset sundress" - and after buying one for the video, my for you page started getting flooded with TONS of ads for what looked like the same dress - but all from different companies, and with wildly different price points. So, I decided - let's buy a few of these bad boys and see what actually ends up at our doorstep - and find out, what the heck IS up. Where are all these dresses coming from? Are they all the same dress? Clearly someone is lying here - but who? I guess we'll find out...

Making A Custom Caramel Apple Chocolate Bar 🍫

Safiya Nygaard 2023-10-31 | our caramel apple chocolate bar giveaway is now closed, thanks so much to everyone who entered!! 💜

today we met back up with our friends at escazú (a local chocolate factory) to make a new custom chocolate bar to celebrate the fall season! our vision was to basically take the flavors of a caramel apple, and turn it into a chocolate bar. and after making some caramel, pouring it over some dried apples, smashing it to bits, and decorating and filling our mold, we ended up with a pretty cute and very tasty chocolate bar! thanks again to escazú for making my chocolatier dreams become a reality (again) 🍫 🕺🏻 #chocolate #custom #diy #fall #seasonal #halloween

I Melted Every Halloween Candy Together

Safiya Nygaard 2023-10-30 | HELLO FRIENDS!! Yes, we did something bad. Now, as you guys may know... I love halloween. From the spooky decorations to the costumes, to the candy, oh yes, THE CANDY. From Snickers to Skittles to every Reese's shape imaginable, I am a halloween candy fiend.

So I had a horrible idea that I decided to act upon: what if we tried to melt every halloween candy together into a single franken-candy... the one candy to rule them all, and in the darkness, satiate my desire for an entire bucket of halloween candy in just one bite?

Well, I guess we're gonna find out. Because that's what this video is about.

Big thank you to Mat & StephPat from the Theorists, as well as Danielle & Karla from Escazù for being the guest tasters of our franken-candy bar!! You can find them here:
youtube.com/@FoodTheory (and their many other channels)
escazuchocolates.com

Unfortunately, we are not doing a giveaway for this video because of how delicate the bar is, but we are currently doing a giveaway for a new custom chocolate bar on this short!! youtube.com/shorts/Ag39otQXaI8?feature=shared and here is the link to the Google Form! https://forms.gle/LwDxJrBhsogEPVpw6

I Tried Convertible High Heels 👠

Safiya Nygaard 2023-10-04 | EDIT: reviewing the instructions, we did use the shoe correctly - for the d'orsay shoe and the bootie, the base plates (the thing that fell off in the beginning) were removed before making them flats, and the instructions didn't include anything about a second other base plate! everything that came in the box was used in the video - there may be other parts available separately or potentially there's a different convertible shoe company that includes a flat base plate? although, apparently the shoes may flatten over time!!

today we tried convertible heels from Pashion Footwear! there was a bit of a learning curve when it came to taking the heels on and off but i ended up getting the hang of it. the shoes with heels on felt like a pretty normal pair of shoes, but the shoes in their flat form were a little more… elf chic. overall though these were super fun and i can see the use if you need flats fast - kind of like high heels with an emergency exit.

You can check out Pashion Footwear here! pashionfootwear.com

I Let Robots Give Me A Makeover

Safiya Nygaard 2023-09-28 | Thanks to Google Maps for sponsoring a portion of this video!! You can download Google Maps here: maps.app.goo.gl/LbjTy. @googlemaps

HELLO FRIENDS!! As you guys may know, I'm always down to try some new beauty tech - so when I stumbled upon two robot beauty treatments in San Francisco (and Oakland) - LUUM robot lash extensions & Clockwork robot manicures - I knew we had to go and try them out!!

So we decided to take a trip to Silicon Valley a few months ago to try these two machines!! And though they were kind of scary-looking... I quickly warmed up to them and ended up getting some pretty good results, if I do say so myself 💅 What do you guys think of my eyelash extensions & nails? Would you try a robot beauty treatment??

We Built A Custom Nail Polish Truck

Safiya Nygaard 2023-09-09 | If you want to snag the safiya x holo taco collection (or any of the individual colors) - you can check out all the products here!! 🦇💿 holota.co/safiyaxholotaco

HOLO FRIENDS!! Buckle up & get your fingernails ready, cause this one is a wild ride! a few years ago, I had the crazy idea to make a custom food truck of some sort - I just needed the perfect opportunity to do it. So when Cristine and I decided to create a Holo Taco collection together, I thought why not now - let's make a (holo) taco truck!!

So we took a super old FedEx truck and renovated it into a batty, vampy, ~holographic~ nail polish truck! Once it was finished, we loaded an army of nail polish into the truck and drove it around to several different meet ups around Raleigh. At each location, we gave away some free nail polish, saw lots of great nail art (a decent amount of which is featured in this video), & gave out some other fiendish goodies for you guys to enjoy (think chocolate & boba)!!

Thank you to everyone who could make the event!! What do you guys think of our nail polish truck? What should we turn the truck into next??

And now, we’ve finally reached the release date of the safiya x Holo Taco collection!! I hope you guys love it as much as we do! You can shop the limited edition collection now here: holota.co/safiyaxholotaco

Huge thank you to the people over at Jack of All Trades by George for the crazy transformation of our nail polish truck - you can find them here!! jackofalltradesbygeorge.com

And thank you to our partners for the event day - Lola’s Nail Closet, Escazú, & MILKLAB!! You can find them all here:

Also a shout out to my entire production team, along with a huge thank you to the Holo Taco team for their help designing the truck and assisting during the event.

Melting Every Soap From Whole Foods Together

Safiya Nygaard 2023-08-30 | For 50% off your HelloFresh order PLUS free shipping, use code 50SAFIYA at bit.ly/3K8jjUJ!

The franken-soap giveaway is now closed! Thanks to all who entered - the giveaway winners will be contacted in the coming weeks!!

HELLO FRIENDS!! Today I let the intrusive thoughts win and melted together every bar of soap sold at Whole Foods…yes, that’s right - not even Whole Foods is safe from some ~mad franken-science~.

So we bought 109 bars from 23 different brands - and shredded them all down to tiny little cheese shreds, and then used a "rebatching" technique to create one singular & striped franken-bar. The process was long and grueling, but it was definitely worth it in the end since our final franken-bars ended up so cute!! What do you guys think of our final product? And since we've tackled both Lush and Whole Foods soaps now, whose soaps do you want to see us demolish next???

Big thank you to both Katie at Royalty Soaps & Anne-Marie at Bramble Berry for their expert opinions on our franken-soap!! You can check out their channels here:
Royalty Soaps: youtube.com/@RoyaltySoaps
Bramble Berry: youtube.com/@bramble-berry

I Made Custom Chocolate Bars At A Chocolate Factory

Safiya Nygaard 2023-06-24 | HELLO FRIENDS!! I’ve always dreamed of having an opportunity to enter my Willy Wonka era, and now it’s finally here. I was ~somehow~ entrusted to take over the Escazu Chocolate factory in Raleigh, NC for a day, and you can definitely say I made the most of it. We followed the entire chocolate-making process - from bean to bar - and made two different custom chocolate creations together - a beautiful ombre bar & a marbled galaxy chocolate confection! What do you guys think of our final products? Do I have a future as a chocolate maker?

If you would like to enter the chocolate bar giveaway to win one of these cute lil guys, the Google Form is right here: https://forms.gle/FFrzputGQZ1LRyeL8

(Please note that we are unable to send chocolate internationally or to P.O. boxes for this giveaway. Also, due to the ~temperamental~ nature of the chocolate, we will be sending the chocolate out in the early Fall to avoid any melting catastrophes!)

And a big thank you goes out to the amazing team at Escazu for helping us out with this video; make sure to check out our creations on their website here - available for purchase!: escazuchocolates.com/shop-now/-c151145256

Rating Everything I Ate At Swedish McDonald’s 🇸🇪

Safiya Nygaard 2023-05-28 | We did actually eventually get to the Ice Hotel - you can check out our video here!! youtube.com/watch?v=KfQOsKmyCNY 🧊☃️

So a couple of months ago on our way to the Ice Hotel, we got stranded for a day in Iceland, which then in turn got us stranded for a day in Stockholm - and while we were there, we decided to taste test all of the international menu items at Swedish McDonald's! Including their McVegan, the Chili Cheese Tops, and the Black Garlic Burger - we were hoping for a Swedish McFlurry, but sadly... their ice cream machine wasn't working either. I guess some things are the same all over the world.

I Stayed In A Glass Igloo In The Arctic Circle

Safiya Nygaard 2023-05-27 | HELLO FRIENDS!! Welcome to the final installment of our Nordic/Scandinavian trip - the Glass Igloos in Finland! So far on our trip, we have taken a communal hot bath at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, nearly cryogenically frozen ourselves at the ICEHOTEL in Sweden, and now we're on to Arctic Finland to stay in a glass igloo under the northern lights!

For years, I've been seeing the glass igloos in Finland on my instagram, tiktok - **and YouTube shorts** feeds - and I've always wanted to try them out. I've never seen the northern lights before, and I've also never stayed in a human-sized terrarium before, but I've always been intrigued by those see-through bubble tents - so we decided to go and try one out and see if we freeze our butts off! And while at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, home of the glass igloos, we also tried a bunch of arctic activities - like snowmobiling, reindeer sleigh rides, dog sledding, and traditional Finnish sauna-ing and ice bathing!!

What do you think?? Would you stay in a glass igloo?

Our Swedish Ice Hotel Room Tour

Safiya Nygaard 2023-05-14 | A couple of months ago when we were on our Nordic/Scandinavia trip, our second stop of our trip after the Blue Lagoon in Iceland was the IceHotel Resort in Sweden, found in the far north town of Jukkasjärvi, located in the Arctic Circle.

Besides the building being completely made of ice and snow (and yes it melts every spring and then is re-built every winter), there are a ton of *cool* rooms filled with amazing, intricate ice sculptures. Our room, the Mush-Room, might have been our favorite we saw overall, so we were lucky to get to spend the night there.

There was a lot to do at the resort (make sure to check out our full Swedish Ice Hotel video here: youtube.com/watch?v=KfQOsKmyCNY 🧊☃️), but we decided to devote a short just to a tour of our frozen crib so you could see it in all of its cottage core glory 🐌🍄

I Spent 24 Hours In A Swedish Ice Hotel

Safiya Nygaard 2023-05-07 | HELLO FRIENDS!! Welcome to our next installment of our nordic/Scandinavian travel trip! After taking a warm bath in the Blue Lagoon in Iceland - I thought - let’s chill out a bit - literally - and head to the original Ice Hotel in Northern Sweden! Yes, this hotel is made completely out of ice and snow, and it melts and gets rebuilt every year - and yes, people actually sleep in here!! I'm very interested by **strange hotels** and after our trip to the Underwater Hotel last year, when I heard of the ICEHOTEL - I figured, we better check it out. So, after a brief moment being stuck in Iceland, we headed to the ICEHOTEL to investigate & spend the night - and hopefully not get cryogenically frozen like Walt Disney's head. What do you guys think?? Would you stay here? Where should we go next?

Also - to add on to our disclaimer in the video - "Lapland" is not a technically a shared region, it's a general region that spans across a few different countries!

What I Got At Icelandic Target

Safiya Nygaard 2023-05-04 | Make sure to check out our Icelandic main channel video, where we travel to the famous Blue Lagoon, here! youtu.be/3hyBe3b1sS8 🌋🇮🇸🧖🏻‍♀️

When we were in Iceland a couple months ago, we went to Hagkaup, aka "Icelandic Target", to explore, shop, and acquire a very random but great haul! We got tiny nail polishes, chocolate soap, beer shampoo, a bougie face mask, egg gummies, and bat chocolate 🦇
Apologies to any Icelandic viewers about my pronunciation — we did love your target though!!

I Went To A Volcanic Spa In Iceland

Safiya Nygaard 2023-04-23 | HELLO FRIENDS!! It's time for my annual bath - and for such an occasion, we decided to travel to most famous geothermal spa in Iceland - the Blue Lagoon. I've been wanting to unleash an international spa travel series for a long time - so here is my formal declaration: it's spa time, baby!

So this past January, as the first installment of a 3-part Nordic/Scandinavian travel trip, we journeyed to the beautiful, mineral-rich light blue waters of the Blue Lagoon - to soak, smoothie, and face mask, oh my. Will this magical lagoon keep my skin plump and youthful forever? Or will the lava rock exfoliate my face right off? Who knows!

Quick note - we mentioned that the Reykjanes lava field was 800 years old - I think it's actually much, much older than that - but the earliest recorded eruption was about 800 years ago (which is where our fact came from)!

Also, because I've seen a few comments about it - no, the cups at the lagoon bar are not glass! They are plastic.

I Got A Personal Color Analysis

And follow her on TikTok & Instagram at: @agile_styling !

HELLO FRIENDS!! Today it’s all about color - and as someone who is known for wearing almost only black, I decided to dip my toes into the personal color analysis trend I've been hearing about for years and seeing all over TikTok. Because I've always been curious... am I a winter? Autumn? Summer? Or even Spring? Pastels have never been my forte, but I was open to at least *hearing* about them. So, we took a little detour to Toronto and visited Julia Dobkine from Agile Styling, an expert in color analysis who I’d been following on Tiktok, to find out my colors, my season, my tones, and everything underneath those tones. What do you guys think? Would you try this?

Also, thanks to the virtual color analysts, the color key, for their help in fact-checking the video and collaborating on celebrities for the 12 seasons for our graphics! To learn your season virtually, check out @‌thecolorkey_ on Instagram! **celebrities shown here are examples based on the color key's best classification done in good faith but without participation in the color key analysis process. Accurate results can only be achieved through their color analysis process!!

HELLO FRIENDS! After many weeks... here is the video that almost defeated me, the grand finale of our Vegas trip - where we ate at every celebrity chef restaurant on the Vegas strip! Now as some of you all may know, Tyler and I are big Food Network fans - and while we were in Vegas, we decided to visit one of every celebrity chef's restaurant on the Strip! We stuffed our faces with numerous dishes, from the trash can-iest nachos at Guy Fieri's, to the elegant Italian pasta of Giada de Laurentiis, to the famed Beef Wellington at Gordon Ramsay's. Which restaurant would you try? Should we do a part 2 and go to the Jonas Brothers' restaurant?

Also, there is some controversy around foie gras that we weren't aware of before filming, our apologies. If you'd like to know more, here are a couple of links to some more information -

I Stayed At Every Hotel On The Vegas Strip (Part 2)

Safiya Nygaard 2023-01-15 | Check out part 1 here! youtu.be/0e8woEkKmG8

HELLO FRIENDS!! In this installment, we continue our exploration of every hotel on the Vegas strip, taking on the 14 hotels on the East side of the Strip. Still big fans, and still providing our thoughts on the room, vibes, and activities at each hotel - again, just in case you need it. We took on everything the strip had to throw at us - heat, celebrity restaurant pasta dishes, serenading gondoliers - until we finally made it to the end. We came, we saw, we stayed - here are the final 14! What do you guys think? Which hotel would you choose?

Also, when we say "Operated Independently" - we mostly mean, not operated by MGM or Caesars!

Also - our prices listed for the rooms include all taxes and resort fees that we paid!

I Stayed At Every Hotel On The Vegas Strip

HELLO FRIENDS!! This is the video I threatened to film at some point last year - and finally, it's here!! We’re big fans of Las Vegas and, in a moment of delirium, decided to stay in every hotel on the strip and provide the internet with a full report of our thoughts - just in case you need it. So, we booked a hotel room at every single one of the 33 casino mega resorts on the Strip - to review the rooms, vibes, and activities at each one. What happens in Vegas, gets uploaded to youtube, as the saying goes. What did you guys think? Which hotels were your favorite?

A quick note - it looks like the Strat price title is missing, we paid $80 there on a Sunday!

Also, when we say "Operated Independently" - we mostly mean, not operated by MGM or Caesars!

Also also - we did receive some comped experiences at Treasure Island, Resorts World, and Circus Circus - but that did not influence our review and we did not promise them positive coverage.

I Got A $450 Celebrity Contouring Facial

Safiya Nygaard 2022-10-16 | HELLO FRIENDS!! Hope you guys are interested in a quick video we filmed a few months ago as we prepare for some bigger projects later this fall... This spring, we went to LA in search of luxury skincare treatments - and found Biba’s Meta-Facial. Going in with "Spongebob at Sandy’s house"-level dry skin, I knew I was in for something special, and Biba gave me the gauntlet - cleansing, lymphatic drainage, gua sha treatments, fascia massage, and the big kahuna: the microcurrent machine!

Mixing Every Lip Gloss From Sephora Together

Safiya Nygaard 2022-09-29 | CASETiFY’s iPhone 14 Impact Case Series is now available at casetify.com! Go to http://casetify.com/safiya today to save 15% off your order!

The Franken-gloss giveaway is now closed!! Thanks to all who entered - the giveaway winners will be contacted in the coming weeks!

HELLO FRIENDS! So we were itching to whip up another batch of franken makeup, and we realized lip glosses had escaped our grasp up until this point – but not anymore! So yet again, we raided Sephora, buying one of each lip gloss they had in stock and then mixing them all together into one franken-batch to rule them all. What did you think of our final color?

Also also, if you’d like to learn more about the makeup recycling service that we used at Nordstrom, you can read about it on their site here: nordstrom.com/browse/nordstrom-cares/get-involved/nordstrom-beauty-cycle

On top of all of that, if you’d like to buy yourself some of our Fiendish Behavior merchandise, you can check out our shop here: fiendishbehavior.com

PS - in case you want some more from us, we did just post ANOTHER franken video today over on Tyler’s channel. It features us testing out our own separate approaches towards frankening together one of every oreo flavor we could find. We’re calling it the Frank-Off! So be sure to check it out as well. It is also very un-hinged.

We saw this thing online, and decided we had to go - so we headed over to Florida and scuba'd (for the first time ever) our way down to the lodge, and then stayed there overnight.

I Made Custom Hard Candy From Scratch

Safiya Nygaard 2022-07-27 | HELLO FRIENDS!! Thank you so much to all who entered the hard candy giveaway - the entry form is now closed & we will be contacting the winners in the coming weeks!

A big thank you to Greg & the team at Lofty Pursuits for helping us out with this video; make sure to check out their YouTube channel here! youtube.com/c/LoftyPursuits

Over the past few (years, honestly), I've watched other people make custom hard candy from scratch - oddly satisfying pulling, stretching, rolling, and chopping - with adorably tiny results. So, after a lot of watching from the sidelines, I decided that I needed to try this out for myself - how hard could it actually be? So I ventured to Lofty Pursuits candy store in Tallahassee, FL where Greg & the team taught me how to sling candy - old school style. We made custom flavored drop candy in a press, and two different batches of image candy - one watermelon, and one tiny disgruntled alien. What do you guys think of our final candies?

How Retail Stores Manipulate You

Safiya Nygaard 2022-07-09 | HELLO FRIENDS!! a bit of an experimental video here, but i hope you guys like it...

Have you ever wondered why you always get lost in IKEA? Or why you can't leave Sephora without a hand full of lipstick swatches? Or why you just love hanging out at Target? I was curious... so I decided to do some research on how different retail stores manipulate you into spending more time at their stores, interacting with their products more, and therefore, spending more of you hard earned cash at their shops. We explored different tactics that Ikea, Target, Sephora, and Ulta use to lure customers in & keep them there until they make a purchase! This is the first of a 3-part series we're gonna be working on throughout the year!

I Went To A Lost Luggage Store

Safiya Nygaard 2022-06-26 | Hello friends & welcome to another video!! This week, I traveled to a Lost Luggage store with HopeScope to buy and try some lost luggage items...

Over the past few years, we have tried a number of interesting ~secondhand purchasing experiences~, like buying an abandoned storage unit, buying a box of Amazon customer returns, and visiting an Amazon returns store - and something that I have been very interested in trying for quite a while now, is buying lost airline luggage. Because apparently if you lose a piece of luggage while traveling, and never come back for it, the airline will eventually sell it. And if you're in the US, chances are that they will sell it to the Unclaimed Baggage store in Scottsboro, AL - who sorts through and resells the items from that lost luggage. So we flew down there with our friend HopeScope to check out the store and buy a lost luggage haul of our own: a head-to-toe outfit each!! What did you guys think of our lost looks? Would you shop at this store?

PS - Unclaimed Baggage does sell some of their inventory online here!

I Got My Scalp Professionally Cleaned

Safiya Nygaard 2022-05-16 | Hello friends & welcome to my scalp! In this episode, I try something I've been wanting to try for literal months - a professional scalp exfoliation!! As some of you may know, I do like to delve into different algorithmic rabbit holes on good ole' YouTube, and recently, YouTube has been showing me a lot of ASMR Head Spa videos, where ASMRtists get their scalps professionally cleaned to unclog their hair follicles and promote healthy hair & regrowth. And so, I decided to venture to the Blow Me Away Salon in LA to get a Japanese Head Spa treatment, and finally give my head the spa day it deserves. What do you guys think? Would you try something like this?

Apologies if my scalp is too disturbing, lol.

Also - just a heads up, there *are* other contributing factors to dandruff besides just dirty scalp - I think in my case, I just have a lot of buildup, and Arisa zeroed in on that in relation to my particular head. Also also - in terms of maintaining your scalp care at home, Arisa just mentioned using specific scalp cleansing products & serums about once a week!

Also also - I noticed that some of you guys are skeptical about some of the ingredients of the products & the treatment as a whole - totally fair for you guys to have criticisms about it, I wasn't trying to vouch for every individual ingredient, or for how effective this would be for everybody - I personally enjoyed it, and I just thought it would be interesting to know what they say are the active ingredients. I'll be sure to keep your thoughts in mind for next time we make a video in this arena.

Safiya Nygaard 2022-04-24 | Finally, the video we've all been waiting for... the one where I get to return to Colonial Williamsburg after ~20 years!! As some of you guys might know, I bring up Colonial Williamsburg *a lot*, as it left a big impression on me as a child - so we decided to make the trip to the historical town of Williamsburg, VA to get an 18th century makeover (hair, makeup, and outfit!) and explore their living history museum, in costume.

Our Ancient Street Cat Passed Away

Safiya Nygaard 2022-04-02 | Hello friends! Unfortunately, we come bearing some sad news - our ancient ex-street-cat Crusty passed away a little while ago at the ripe old age of 21. So we decided to make a little memorial video for him here, as a celebration of his long, dusty life and how much he impacted ours. We met him back in 2015 on the streets, he was there when we started our channel - he judged my ugly clothing and lounged in a giant beanbag - and when we moved across the country, he came too. Tyler & I loved him like crazy, and we're gonna miss him like crazy - and we know that a lot of you guys will too.

A huge thanks to Shelby & Sandy for the really sick art piece - you can check them out here!

I Tried A Custom Lipstick Printer

Safiya Nygaard 2022-02-13 | HELLO FRIENDS!! So, a couple of years ago I saw this custom lipstick printer in a video about the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas, and ever since, I have been desperate to get my hand so it!

So today, we're going to be testing out the YSL Rouge Sur Mesure custom lipstick printer, which lets you choose custom lipstick colors to print, will recommend your lipstick colors based on your outfit, and will also let you take photos of things in the world and then print matching color lipsticks to them. So we're going to take this thing for a spin! Which color did you like the most? Do you want to see Urn Burgundy??

The YSL Lipstick Printer giveaway is now closed!! Thanks to all who entered, the winner will be contacted in the next few days!!

Melting Thrift Store Jewelry Into New Jewelry

Safiya Nygaard 2022-01-23 | HELLO FRIENDS!! So, this week we're taking on something a bit different -- jewelry casting! As something of a melting fiend, YouTube has recommended me a few different videos about metal casting over the past few months -- and I found myself with a big NEED for FLAME. So, we picked up a bunch of jewelry from the thrift store, and then melted it down into molten metal, cast it into organic shapes with water & frozen peas, and then fashioned our castings into wearable jewelry pieces. What do you guys think of my ~collection~?

I Ran A Boba Tea Shop For A Day

Safiya Nygaard 2021-12-26 | HELLO FRIENDS!! A portion of this video was premiered during the Streamys, so thank you so much to the Streamys for featuring us! You can check out the show here: youtube.com/watch?v=zI64cM3sogg

Here is a bit of a different kind of video, the start of a new series (I hope) - where we trained as boba-ristas and then ran a boba shop for a day! We collaborated with Kung Fu Tea in Charlottesville, VA to learn how their shop operates behind the scenes, then designed a custom drink menu, and made and served people some of our curated boba selections! I’ve been a boba fan for many years, but this was my first time taking a stab at making bubble tea on my own — and though I’m not sure I have a future in the bubble tea-making profession, it was a lot of fun! What did you guys think of our drinks??

Also, this video was filmed in early October, before the spread of Omicron & I believe UVA has a vaccine requirement for their students. We made sure to comply with all mask requirements and there was a *lot* of hand washing throughout the day! Stay safe everyone!!

This video is NOT sponsored, but thanks to Kung Fu Tea & Megan for letting us film at your store!

I Bought The First 5 Things TikTok Ads Recommended To Me

Safiya Nygaard 2021-12-08 | Check out our new merch here!! fiendishbehavior.com

HELLO FRIENDS!! Today, I return to the land of internet hauls and social media targeted recommendations - with a deep dive into the sponsored posts that appear on your TikTok "For You Page"! Previously, I have bought things recommended to me via targeted ads on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat - so when I finally relented and downloaded TikTok a few months ago -- I figured, we probably had to do a TikTok ad haul as well. So I spent a day scrolling on TikTok until I found 5 different targeted ads, purchased what they were advertising, and then put them to the test to try and figure out why TikTok might think I would like them, and whether or not they were any good. Which item was your favorite?? What ads do you get on TikTok?

The Franken-soap giveaway is now closed & the winners will be contacted in the next few days! Thanks to all who entered!

HELLO FRIENDS!! Here is a weird video we made where I melted every soap from Lush together into a few different batches of franken-soap!! This type of franken-experiment has worked well in the past across a wide array of products like lipsticks, foundations, candles, and bath bombs (also from Lush!) - and as some of you may know, over the years I have developed a bit of a soap fixation, having recreated a couple different soap art tutorials, as well as several bizarre soap art hacks from the internet. So I was excited to combine these two interests together by mixing every single soap from a single store to see what kind of soap bar we could whip up. What did you think of our final product??

Thanks to Anne-Marie at Bramble Berry and Katie at Royalty Soaps! You can check out their channels here -

Just a heads up - any footage of me w/o a mask in Lush is either from our old video (pre-quarantine), or from when we filmed in Lush this past summer with special permission before the store opened!

This video is NOT sponsored, but thanks to Lush for letting us film at your store!

I Went To An Amazon Returns Store

Safiya Nygaard 2021-10-15 | HELLO FRIENDS!! This week, I ventured to an Amazon Liquidation Store in Raleigh, NC called Treasure Hunt Liquidators to get me a haul of Amazon customer returns! A few years ago, we bought an Amazon Return Box from a liquidation website -- and it was kind of crazy, but we *were* able to get a lot of stuff for a pretty big discount. So when I heard about an Amazon Returns Store... I figured we had to go! I got a drone, a spice blender, a go pro lens, a massage chair, and a microdermabrasion tool (and a lava lamp & succulent growth light) -- all for $10 each!

You can check out Treasure Hunt Liquidators here!

Quick note -- the in-store shopping segments were filmed in late July/early August, when the mask mandate in NC was lifted -- which is why you see a mix of mask & no-mask! We decided to wear a mask while shopping just because it was kind of close quarters in the store, but it was optional at that time.

I Wore Digital Clothes For A Week

Safiya Nygaard 2021-09-24 | HELLO FRIENDS!! So, a couple of months ago I got this ad on facebook for "digital fashion" - which, as a weird fashion lover, piqued my interest. So, I decided to use the DressX digital fashion service and "wear" digital clothes every day for a week to see how it turned out -- and then I posted those pictures to instagram to see what you all thought of my virtual digs! Which outfit from this week was your favorite?

You can check out DressX's website here!
dressx.com

Quick note -- these looks that we bought are *not* NFTs, and most of DressX's looks are not NFTs -- (the ones in the app are also not NFTs) -- they seem to dipping their toes into that space, but for now it's mainly just photoshopping individual images!

Also, the shots in the art museum were taken in the middle of the summer, when mask mandates were lifted!
