Good morning. Another day in my life. I'm not really doing much. So, I feel like every time I'm like, "This is a very realistic day in my life." But this time it's like pretty realistic. I mean, every day is, but I think I'm getting more and more comfortable showing you guys that I like when I actually don't do anything, if that makes sense.
I'm going to give you the current state of my house right now. This is my room. And our big-ass roller AC that we have to roll in here every single night. So, I have to put away all the clean laundry and make the bed. Bathroom looks gorgeous, per usual. I have this beautiful orchid in here to kind of brighten up the space. The second room has finally been cleared out. There's Sinky's bed, never getting rid of that. Laundry room, a mess. I have laundry in the dryer that I have to take out. Crazy dishes. And just a little bit of clutter here that I need to clean up. Um living room, our dining room, not too bad. Like, really nothing to clean here, but I do have the laundry to put away, and that's it. I don't have a vanity, so all of my makeup goes over there. And I was going to work out today, but I worked on legs pretty hard yesterday, so I think I'm just going to do like a longer walk today.
So, here's the deal. I was going to clean up everything before I left for my walk, but I just thought that that would be not great. Like, I feel like once I go on a walk and come back, I'll feel like kind of ready to tackle everything. I think I'm just going to write in my to-do list what it what I want to do, how I want to clean, and then go on my walk. That way, I can just kind of like decompress because I do have a lot to do. Like, I do have a lot to clean. I haven't even made like coffee for today. So, let's see. I do have to go grocery shopping, and I already have a list. Cleaning to-do list. Make the bed, put away laundry, wash dishes, tidy kitchen. Let's get ready for a walk. Ended up making the bed before I left cuz I just couldn't fathom thinking of leaving my house without making the bed, so I made the bed.
Before we go, you guys should know I am like safety girl to the fullest extent. First, I don't care how hot it is, you need something you need to wear something that has pockets, pants or a jacket. Because it is semi-hot, I'm going to be wearing this little windbreaker from Meow. Is that how you say it? Now, the pockets aren't great, but it does give me some leeway and some ability to just have some pockets. Now, I'm going to show you what we are putting in those pockets, okay? One, protection of some sort. It doesn't have to be something like this. And if you don't know what this is, that's all I'm going to say. Could be pepper spray, it could be pepper gel. I have practiced with this. Feel very comfortable having this as my form of protection. So, we're going to put this in here. I don't take my wallet just because I feel like that can be way too much to do. And if someone comes up to me and says, "I want your wallet." I don't have my wallet. There's nothing to give. Next is going to be some sort of lip protection. This isn't sun screen lip balm, but I do really, really enjoy the way this feels on my lips. It is the melted butter lip gloss from Pound Cake. It's not lip gloss. It's a lip oil. Um it really is so delicious on the lips. Now, I wouldn't say it smells like melted butter. It smells more like vanilla-y, like cakey vanilla. But because the name is melted butter, I feel like your brain kind of just automatically goes to like, "Oh, it smells like melted butter." Next, I have sunglasses on just so that people do not bother me. I feel like if I have sunglasses on, you can't see where I'm looking at. People won't bother me. And of course, your phone. Now, if you're like me, you have a huge [ __ ] iPad for a phone, which is why I need a pocket. Earphones. And also, I don't ever do my skin care before going on a walk. I just swipe on some stick sunscreen. Yeah, I don't ever do my skin care before going on a walk cuz I know I'm going to just get sweaty anyway. And off we go.
Going to start my Strava. Strava keeps Well, actually, let me start it and then I'm going to talk about why I use it. The reason I like to use Strava is because it shows the pace you're walking at. Since I've gotten, I guess like a little older, I was like, "Okay, I definitely need to start thinking about my health more, taking more vitamins, eating more whole foods, just being super mindful of the activity that I do." Being a content creator, I mean, if I really wanted to, I could just sit at home all day and be on my phone, but that's really not healthy. So, I'm trying to be more mindful of the activity that my body does and what I'm eating. Walking is just very digestible way of working out, making sure you're getting your activity in for the day. I'm going to walk and enjoy the scenery, and then I'll see you when we get to coffee, cuz I think I want to get coffee at Coffee Bean today.
Hi. How are you? Can I just get a vanilla dry iced tea? I want the half-half, but no caramel drizzle, please.
Back from my walk. I walked a total of 1.7 miles. I had 3,700 steps, and I walked for 32 minutes. Okay. Got some packages. Let's see. Don't know what this could be. I don't know what this is either. Yesterday Ben was also at work and there was a spider on the couch and I had to kill it by myself, so now I feel like I'm like traumatized by the couch. Oh my god. There is a huge [ __ ] spider. Oh my god. Oh my god, I don't even know what to do. And I like don't want to sit on there ever anymore. That was a good walk, a great walk even. Walks truly are so important. At least I'm like a firm believer. Cuz I even said that like I would feel more up to um like getting everything cleaned up after my walk and I was pretty correct. Now I'm excited to do dishes and tidy up the kitchen. I'm going to start on dishes. I'm going to watch maybe a YouTube video. Yesterday I just posted my spring cleaning spring cleaning my Pinterest and it was actually really really fun. I wish I had more of those things to do. Maybe I'll do like I don't know. Maybe I'll do something like along the lines of that again. I really am Okay, actually before we get into washing dish Oh, I'm not. I want to run these video ideas with you guys, like run them through you guys and you guys can tell me what you would want, like if you would or wouldn't want. And don't be afraid to tell me that you wouldn't want a video idea because although YouTube is super fun for me, I do want your guys' input of like what you would like to see versus what you wouldn't really be interested in seeing. I know this YouTube channel is mine, so if I do resonate with an idea, then I'm just going to do it, but of course, you guys watch. You guys are my audience. I want to be able to entertain you guys and at least just for the time being while you're watching my video, maybe take your mind off some things. Let's go through the ideas. First, I have Wait, actually, let me pull up my sheet cuz I have ideas. A home tour where I go through my entire house, give you a tour, plus give you some of my thought process behind my furniture pieces. Spring closet cleanout. That I think I'm going to do no matter what. I think I did that last year and I thought it was so good. It really helped me freshen up my wardrobe for the spring and the summer, and I think it'd be fun to show you guys that. Get dressed every single day because I have been struggling so hard with my style lately. So, I feel like if I force myself to dress up every day, it would kind of jump-start me into more inspo and like how I dress. My organization ecosystem for content and journaling. I thought I'd do that all together. I was also thinking about doing like a financial type of video. I don't know if you guys would want to see that, but I'm in the position where I'm not rich by any means, but I am in a place and I worked really hard to get to this place of like I can keep my head above water. Like how I pay taxes, what it's like with finances as a content creator because I don't get paid weekly, I don't get paid monthly. And then I also was thinking of doing a PR video. So, I was thinking of doing like a March PR video telling you everything I got in PR and telling you if it's worth it or not. Yeah, let me know what you think of those ideas, what you would or wouldn't like to see and maybe if you have another idea, let me know.
I'm going to wash the dishes. And then we're going to tidy up the kitchen, put away the laundry, get dressed, and then we're going to go grocery shopping. So fun. Let's choose my scent for the day, which I think I was going to put some body oil on, but I just feel like I don't necessarily need that lately. These have been my go-to scents. Um this is Ceremonial by Labyrinth & Co and Rabbit Hole by Concreated. I love this one by Miu Miu. Fleur de Lait. It might be a little too sweet. Yeah, I don't think it pairs well together. I might do Fleur by Glossier and Ceremonial. Let's do this. And I haven't been spraying on my neck because of my little rash. So, what I like to do is I opt for like the back of my neck. Like shoulder neck area. That was directly in my face. And then on my I'm going to do this now. There we go. I have a little fun outfit on. I don't have any makeup and I'm just going to have my little [ __ ] water bottle here. Code on the screen if you want a [ __ ] water bottle but not full price. And to my little um grocery bags. So, this is the outfit if you guys wanted to see the full thing. We're going to go right now, but I'm going to use this Kosas lip pulse. It actually works so well. I'm going to put it on. And I'm going to show you guys what my lips look like when we get there.
First stop is Trader Joe's because we're on a budget and Trader Joe's has everything on a budget. Yeah. of Trader Joe's. I'm going to head over to CVS right next door, get the Tylenol and the pimple patches, and then head over to Lassen's, my favorite spot.
Okay, just got back. Oh, I think start with the little things CVS. This is just like a little fun run for me. I got these peach slices acne spots, Tylenol cuz we're running out, and I got the CVS health brand vitamin B12 and fish oil. I used to take these all the time, and I think I'm I think I just need to get back on it. So, I got these things. Lassen's, I spent $39.24. I got clover pasture-raised low-fat milk, Navitas cacao sweet nibs, acai base. This is going to be I got two different ones, shredded coconut, cornstarch at the request of Ben. Trader Joe's, I spent $95. That's rounded up 20 cents, so I actually spent $94.85. Bread, fusilli pasta, blueberries, two boxes of peanut butter granola bars because Ben loves peanut butter, and he also goes to work and needs like some sort of snack, so these are for him. Actual peanut butter, Joe Joe's, organic heavy whipping cream. I got oh, two packs of the extra lean ground beef, one pack of the Angus beef top sirloin steak, four avocados, five oranges, agave, and organic maple syrup, crumbled feta cheese, two of the sparkling waters from Trader Joe's, two boxes of cereal. All in all, I think a pretty good haul, but um I mean it is quite expensive. This stuff is probably going to last us quite a while, so I probably won't have to go to the grocery store anytime soon.
Ghia Gaia sent me their non-alcoholic aperitif, and I really want to try it. One part Ghia, three parts bubbles. Try sparkling water, tonic, or even kombucha. So, I think I want to try this with some ice. I'm just going to do a shot glass of this. I want to see. Okay, that feels like too much. One. One. Two. Thank you to Ghia Gaia Ghia. Let's see. Oh my god. Wow. That's insane. That is so good. Holy [ __ ] And it only took a little bit. So, what? This would last I'm guestimating like Oh, it says 17 servings per container. Oh. So, 17 drinks. And I'm sure you could just Yeah. This at Trader Joe's is like $2. It's like $1.99. This is definitely something I would continue purchasing just because it's a non- it's non-alcoholic. It's a fun drink that is supposed to be like pretty healthy. Hold on. It's a dry, low-alcohol beverage served before a meal to stimulate the appetite often accompanied by small bites, nuts, or olives. Derived from the Latin aperire, to open, it prepares the palate and marks a social pre-dinner tradition. Which is great because we're going to have a housewarming soon and I really feel like there's some of our friends are sober. And this would be a great way for them to like feel like they have a fun drink and it's not just a sparkling water or a soda. And I've been thinking about going sober, too. So, I don't know. That's delicious. I really understand the hype now. I would definitely 100% spend my own money to get that.
And made boiling beef noodle soup. So, I'm just going to warm some of it up in a bowl. Okay. I have my lunch here. My beverage. And I think I'm going to watch something on YouTube. I went out today and did ran errands and I kind of just want to like chill. Not really worry about work. I might actually watch um what's it called? Uh what is it called? Hmm. Desperate Housewives? Mhm. Desperate Housewives.
>> She sort of thinks you're evil. Excuse my obsession with Ariel and all that stuff. No hold up though. I like that one a bit. I think >> I know what this one is and I want to give you guys like the first my first thoughts. That's the perk so my YouTube is that like you get my first thoughts on like everything. This easy angel dust. These notes are transparent wood cashmere and white amber. Wow, beautiful bottle. I really enjoy this bottle. Very it's glass. Love the top. Okay. Ooh, wow. Mhm. This is definitely a universal scent. I can smell the wood. Musky, woody. It's a very cozy smell, very intimate. I think it's it's it's it's very it's a universal scent. Like I can picture wearing this in the summer for like a dinner, but I can also picture it wearing it in during the winter season. Oh my god, matcha. How cool. All right, I'm going to probably work for a little bit and then I will get back to you once I do something else.
I didn't haven't filmed since I went to go put my my thing to charge. But Ben got home and we he had dinner which is or not dinner I guess, but just had some food which is what I had um for Oh, wait. Hold on. for lunch. He just had the same thing and I also made him an aperitif as well, non-alcoholic. Um and we bought or we didn't buy tickets, but we just used our A-list membership to Oops, book tickets for Project Hail Mary with Ryan Gosling. Not sure how I felt about the trailer, but we'll see. It's It's 8:00. The movie's at 8:45. Um so we're going to watch White Lotus until until we leave for the movies. We're leaving for the movies. I told Ben he has to take the trash out. Boyfriend's shirt, sweats from Brandy, my pink purse, and my lip gloss. Did you notice what I was getting at?
>> You think the movie's already started?
>> Um yeah, probably.
>> Oh.
>> I forgot to film the rest of the night cuz we literally got back home at midnight and we knocked out. But hopefully you guys enjoyed that. Um yeah, I'm going to keep making more of those. I'm hoping to be a little bit more consistent with my vlogs. Um and also more consistent with just like other ideas. So, yeah. Okay. I'll see you guys in the next video.
