 Hey all, it's up, welcome back to a new vlog. My name is Sonali, if you guys are new here. Today is Tuesday and this week has been a week already. We had a very crazy Monday. I woke up with pretty not gray hair so I wanted to do a little quick refresh and I thought I would film it for you guys cause on my last vlog I did my hair with the Dyson Airwrap round brush and somebody asked for a substitute. So I'm gonna share it with you guys one of my new favorite hair tools. Honestly I kind of prefer it over the Dyson Airwrap because it lasts a little bit longer because you're not dealing with like straight wet hair. It actually works better if you're dealing with dirty hair. So this is it, it is not a blow dry brush, it's just like a heated round brush so it doesn't make any sound and you can see the pink part kind of just like heats up and basically it kind of sleeks your hair while giving it a little bit of a curl at the end so I just take the piece of hair brush it through and then just focus on the ends to give it that like swoop. Okay, it doesn't even have to stay on this thing for too long and look how freaking pretty that is. I love to use this when my hair is like straight and I just need a little bit of a refresh. This is actually a tool from Amazon. I'm pretty sure it's like 40 something dollars, maybe under 40. Sometimes it goes on sale so I'm not really sure how much it is currently but this is a dupe for the Amiga hot tools brush, no. Amiga thermal brush, I think that's what it's called and that one's like over a hundred dollars but this one actually comes with a bunch of other attachments too that I don't personally use but I think they, it comes with like a wand and all that other stuff so I just really like this attachment. I'm planning to film a good bit today. I'm just feeling in the mood and I feel like whenever I do get this like ounce of motivation to film and create content I have to run with it these days because it doesn't come very often which I know you can't really base everything off of motivation but especially when you have to kind of like be on for the camera, you know, you just don't want to film like on and off day which yesterday was definitely an off day so today we are going to get shit done. So pretty. Hair is done and we have a little refresh going on. I did put a little dry shampoo at the top cause my hair is pretty greasy today. I was honestly thinking about doing like a slick back bun but then I was like, I want to film a tutorial on this and I feel like it's the perfect day to give my hair a little refresh. So that is how I use this and I'll have it linked on my Amazon store brand as well as in the description box. I've been meeting Shoeva as one of our favorite lunches right now. It is so easy, so quick and pretty healthy. I mean, if this isn't healthy I don't know what the frick is and it is a Caesar salad with of course chicken on it for a little added protein and it just keeps us whole for a very long time and it's so refreshing and we actually really love the taste. You can just find this at HEB. It is like the best thing to be invented honestly cause it comes with, usually it has like some pepper, yeah spices, the parmesan, the Caesar dressing, the croutons and then obviously like the leafy greens. So I'm gonna put this together. I usually just put my chicken in the air fryer like 15, maybe 20 minutes before. So I'm not feeling too hungry right now. I feel like when I start getting really hungry I don't want to wait the 15, 20 minutes and then I eat something that's like quicker and a little bit unhealthier. But anyway, so we're going to season the chicken, put a little olive oil and stick it in the air fryer. And while that's in the air fryer, we're watching the apple team out. I really only watch this to find out what the new iPhone's gonna be and they always leave it to the end. So I have to watch a little thing but I'm interested to see how they're gonna make it different. Chicken's done. So now we can put together the salad part. I recently got this beautiful bowl from Amazon. I'm obsessed with it. It makes just making salad way more fun. Let's pack it with everything in it and then the greens. We'll do the seasonings first. I think this is very self-explanatory about a certain way of going in depth of explaining it to you guys. But here I am. It's currently 5 p.m. and around this time, pretty much every day, Ryan goes to play golf. So in my mind, there's a little switch that turns on and it's like, okay, this is the time to crank out anything you need to do, film all the content you want, be creative, all the stuff. And you know what's so annoying about that is that I could be done with work right now but I choose to push it till five because Ryan's out of the house. And no matter how hard I freaking try to get myself to film in the middle of the day, it just does not happen. But anyways, we are at that moment of the day where I'm cranking out so much content and I wanted to show you guys my outfit because I just randomly threw this together and I think it looks so freaking cute. On my TikTok, I'm trying on some going out tops from Amazon and a couple of these I've already had but I just bought a few more. This was the one I already had and I wore it I think maybe like two times already. I wear nipple covers. The brand is called Cakes and I just think it's so cute and I paired it with this Princess Polly skirt that I've had for a good amount of time now and I feel like it just looks so cool. It's definitely more of a statement piece but that is why it pairs so well with this white top. And then I have on my Charles and Keith little kitten heel things. I actually just got these Amazon sunglasses. They're tortoise color and they also come in black. Since I'm doing a series on going out tops I'm just doing a little bit of content batching right now and so this is the next look. Obviously my top is from Amazon and I love this. I will say that it's a bit thin so you do need to wear nipple covers but other than that it's so feminine and I really, really like the cut of it and it is a halter top so you can tie it and adjust it on your own. I bought this bag in Venice, Italy and it's so freaking cute and I feel like it ties the shoes in perfectly and then my pants are from Calvin Klein. Last but not least is my favorite freaking top ever. This is from Amazon. Like what the heck? This is actually a dupe for the free people corset. It is so good, I need it in other colors especially for this like winter season. I love this like mocha color though but I paired it with a strata various skirt and then my shoes are from Dolce Vita. Just got done filming, it's like seven ish. I'm cutting myself off for filming tonight. I feel like I did a lot. I think I filmed like seven TikToks maybe a little more than that but the state that my room is in is very concerning because one of the videos I did was a PR unboxing so you already know it's gonna get a little crazy in here but also clothes are everywhere so I definitely want to try to clean this up before the night ends but I wanna take a shower before I do that, take off my makeup, getting comfy clothes and then we can work on this. This is what you guys don't see in the videos. Good morning you guys, it is Thursday and I just went to push coffee with Ryan. I used to like their mocha but now I'm not like a huge mocha person. Whenever I get the chai I feel like it's so watered down because they put like just so much ice in and I could ask for light ice but I think I've gotten that one time and it still just tastes like a little watered down anyways. I wanted a beverage for this morning and I thought it would be the perfect time to use this little pumpkin creamer that I just got at the grocery store. It's a non-dairy creamer and it's pumpkin spice latte. So let's try this out. I don't really know like how to make it so we're just gonna use like a black tea bag and start from there. This is probably not the best way to make it but I literally just put some water in a cup, put it in the microwave, make it really hot, put the tea bag in it and then let it brew for like maybe five minutes and then make my beverage. I don't have a tea kettle. I don't really wanna boil water over the stove for just like one drink so that's how we're gonna do it today. It's ready to go, it's pretty hot so I'm just going to put the tea bag in. This is probably like three minutes and I feel like it's pretty dark so I'm gonna take it out. I feel like I just wanna pour this in here because it's like already pumpkin-y and probably sweet on its own so oh wait, maybe I should put ice in it first. Okay, I don't know how much to pour. I recently got the pumpkin chai at Starbucks and guys it just like did not taste like pumpkin at all so I was very disappointed. So hopefully this is a little bit better and obviously it would be cheaper if I knew how to make something that I liked at home. Honestly, I feel like my taste buds are a little bit off but I do taste pumpkin and it's perfectly sweetened. Honestly, if I added more it would probably would have been a little bit too much. I'd make this again but I do like my Earl Grey tea that I make and I don't think I made it for the vlog yet so I need to do that soon because it's such a good and easy recipe especially for someone who just doesn't really like the taste of coffee. I've been editing some TikToks today. I feel like the last two days I've been really good about creating content but obviously I have to sit down and edit some of them. So I've been doing that but now I'm taking a little break because my friend Nancy got surgery and she got it on Monday I think but I didn't like wanna bother her cause I didn't know if like the meds would be like taking her out, you know? So I wanted to go and grab her some stuff that she might need which I honestly don't even know what she needs but I looked it up and it said like they should be eating fiber and berries so I think I'm just gonna get like an assortment of berries. I'm just gonna go into HEB really quick and then drop it off at her house. I was gonna grab cool with but I feel like yogurt would actually be better because I think it said something about not having dairy so we're gonna get some of these. I also got some sour cream and obviously I had to pick up some Reese's for Ryan. The bag is secured, I got the berries and now that I'm next to a UPS I'm gonna make a really quick return. Ryan, earlier today he was like you literally have not left the house in days and it's so funny cause I didn't really like realize that until he said it and now I'm like, oh my God, like am I okay? This has been a nice little break from being grouped up. I don't even know why I'm doing that to myself. I just have literally had nothing really going on so like why leave the house if I don't have to because I end up spending so much money when I do. My friend Kiana invited me over to do like a little arts and crafts night which I'm very excited about cause I feel like I just want to be creative and be off of my phone. Very needed right now so I think we're just gonna like draw or something I'm not really even sure but I wanted to make dinner earlier so I can get it done because I've been procrastinating making this meal but I'm doing it today. I'm making wings, I got all the chicken right here I don't really wanna show you guys because it's a little bit jarring, not gonna lie. I'm like totally fine with just like chicken thighs and chicken breasts but seeing like all the skin on it and like I don't know. I never like really understood why people get so grossed out from raw chicken but now I'm like seeing it. So I'm just gonna coat them with like some seasonings. I'm going to probably air fry them and then we'll do all the sauces cause I kind of wanna do three sauces. I'm feeling a little adventurous so we might do garlic parmesan we'll just do the regular hot and then honey chipotle which is one of my favorite flavors. So let's get to it. I season chicken the same no matter what I'm doing with it. So we're starting with garlic powder, onion powder we're doing some pink salt, some paprika. I'm mixing them all together and popping them in the air fryer. I just used the chicken setting on the air fryer itself. To make the honey chipotle sauce I'm using these chipotle canned peppers. I'm gonna blend them up with some honey and some brown sugar and soy sauce. It turned out to be a lot more spicy than I wanted it to be so maybe do less peppers if you want it to be a little less spicy. I also put some water in it to make it a little bit thinner cause it was really thick. Okay for the garlic parmesan I just heated up some butter with some already minced garlic, poured that on top and then poured some parmesan. I didn't have the shredded kind so I just used this parmesan. I also just used the extra butter on the garlic parmesan ones for the hot ones. I know that's probably gross but we are efficient over here okay. Ryan did this part he poured the hot sauce all over it. Here's me taking a little bite to see how hot it actually was. It was not bad at all. These are actually probably my second favorite that I did. Okay all of the wings are done. I did honey chipotle, garlic parmesan and just like the normal hot wings but I got Frank's red hot thinking like that was you know the hot sauce to put on it but apparently I just got the hot sauce and not buffalo sauce so my bad. But I guess we're just using the hot sauce but they look so good. I know these are probably going to be my favorite. Honestly for these two I just eyed the recipe like I looked up a recipe and then with all the measurements I definitely just eyed it but it looks so good and I also made some ranch dip. We got our little art night set up. I just brought like random things. These are her pens but I have these really cool water color markers that I got in the Amazon and I'm excited to do that. And then I have some empty cards. Say hi. Ooh you got your little artist smock on. No I was just cold. Yeah it's actually like a perfect night to be doing this cause it's like raining outside and it's just cozy. You got some music playing. Show and tell. I did it for my best friend who other than Stoley who is pregnant and about to give birth and I've been really needing to send her a baby shower card cause I missed her baby shower but she lives in Georgia okay. So I found this in slow and Pinterest. So cute. Let me get a close up. Yeah. Oh my gosh. So cute. And then on the inside you guys don't have to read what it says. But I did a little tractor with peaches through Georgia cause she's very big peaches of Georgia's gall. I'm going to show you guys mine but there was a little incident where the water kind of got everywhere and I was, I forgot I was like dealing with water. So I tried to put confetti to cover it up but it doesn't really look like confetti but we're just going to roll with it. So anyways, I'm writing the card now. Good morning y'all. It is Saturday. I feel like I haven't vlogged in about a day or two but nothing really exciting has been going on other than just a stressful emotional roller coaster with some things going on but hopefully I'll get to update you guys soon. We literally have no plans this weekend. Yesterday was Friday and we just had a game night at my friend Keona's house and we played Mexican train and fishbowl which was really fun but today we literally have absolutely nothing to do. We only left my friend's house at like 12 last night. So we are kind of sleepy. So we're just getting a little caffeine and then we wanted to go to Home Depot just to like, I don't know, look around. We literally don't even have to get anything. On Tuesday I'm going to Florida because I'm going to a bachelorette but my dad's like living in Florida right now so I'm going to go visit him for a couple of days and then go to my bachelorette, it's in Alice Beach which is definitely one of my favorite places on the earth so I'm very excited to be going back and we're actually staying in Alice Beach for this bachelorette. So it's like the nice, nice houses. I'm so freaking excited. But anyways, I have to like just probably try to start packing for that. Extra ice, homo. Very funny. Cheers. Try taste test for vanilla. Okay, thank you. Where are we going? We're going to the apartment. We have a fitting song. It's 11-Eleven, everyone make a wish even though it's not 11-Eleven when you're watching this or if it is, comment, that would be so crazy. Why does this feel so wrong that there's like pumpkins out, emails out? Just does not feel like fall. Some folks get superstitious about digging up the dead or hell I can't blame them. The things I've seen will make your skin grow. Similar to these juicy worms I just found. See, his job ain't all bad. These worms will make a tasty snack later. Oh, that's the big one. We walked out to the garden section and guys, look at this guy with the egg. It's going to be a rainy day. We started like downpouring and we were hungry. We thought we'd get some ramen taught to you which is like the best ramen ever. I've had Jinnah in Georgia which I think that's a chain like everywhere. I think there's a Jinnah here maybe. Then I've had an Arifuku ramen. They just opened up here. But I'll tell you guys, nothing will top this broth. I get the Shoyu ramen and it is just so freaking flavorful. Ryan's a weird guy because he gets rice instead of noodles. For the takeout, they put like all the dry stuff together and then you pour the broth in which honestly, I wish it all came together because by the time I get it, I want to eat it right away but I feel like the noodles like don't marinate in the broth. So I'm going to pour it in, let it marinate for like 10 minutes and then eat it. Oh, it's going to be so good. I'm kind of sad it's raining all day though because I thought we're going to have like a fun sunny Sunday. No, it's not Sunday, sunny Saturday. Good thing we don't have plans though. I saw people like leaving their house while it's raining. I was like, I would not want to be doing that right now. It's just not sound fun. Okay, so freaking good. Yum. I could just drink the broth and be fine. Okay, it's a little bit later and we are just going to walk over to a brewery and these are our outfits. I actually showered and washed my hair so it's nice and blow-dry. My jean jackets from a bull day. Skim's tank, my skirt's from Amazon and then my shoes are from Cezanne. Shricks from Rosemary Beach, short from Nike. I've become that girl that takes their Lululemon belt back everywhere. It's really just so convenient. That was what I was going to say, I'm working there, so I'm going to get you out there. They have live bands, all of them.
