 Is it even a new vlog without matcha? Absolutely not. So I made my refreshing matcha recipe literally just like lemon mint honey It's really good you guys have to try I put it in another blog so go check it out But starting the vlog off. My name is Sonali if you guys are new here I'm honestly not really in the mood to vlog today But I know when it comes to Monday when I like edit my weekly vlogs I'm gonna regret not having content for you guys So I'm gonna push through and I don't know I feel like I've just been a little bit repetitive lately like let me know what you think Do you guys like the Austin content? Do you guys like the apartment content? Am I just talking about matcha way too much like let me know this morning I was so excited because I got a delivery message from Nordstrom that my Doc Martens arrived So I went to check all the package places front door mailbox office because I live in an apartment And there was no Doc Martens anywhere and I was so sad. My camera died. We are back though like I was saying I was really sad that I Didn't have my Doc Martens, but I called Nordstrom and like literally I didn't really even have to wait for their customer service And I told them that it wasn't delivered and they were like okay We'll just you know replace them and ship you out a new pair with two-day shipping and I was like Thank you so much. I thought I was gonna have to like argue with someone or something and it was so easy So that was really nice I feel like stuff like that easily like not ruins my day But just puts me in a bad mood because like obviously that is a lot of money And so I don't want it to be just like gone But I wonder where the freak they are cuz it said it was delivered yesterday So I don't know we'll figure it out But I don't really have much to do today, but I was planning on just filming a frick ten of TikToks Let me just tell you guys this again If you guys are a micro influencer influencer blogger photographer If you have a small business you guys need to get on TikTok right now My sister has been telling me to do this like since I swear like maybe like last December I don't like the last last December. I don't even know when TikTok was like a thing I honestly regret not getting it on it sooner Because I feel like every time I post like one TikTok whether like, you know A hundred people see it or like thousands of people see it I get new followers for some reason those followers on TikTok Transfer over to Instagram, which is great. It's like I've been trying to grow that for a really long time So I encourage you guys to get on TikTok You know whether it's like dancing or just like telling people what products you like And I think that I'm gonna go that route because I tried the dancing route And I don't know if that's for me really so I wrote down a bunch of my Amazon favorites I think I'm gonna make a series out of it So like part one part two kind of thing if you guys don't know Fridays I don't work my part-time job. So it's like a content creation day But when I get to Fridays, I just want to like chill and do nothing because I'm just like always doing content creation And sometimes there's a little bit of a burnout when I get to the end of the week tonight I'm actually gonna go to dinner with some friends that I haven't seen in so long We're gonna go to bar peach and I wanted to try it for so long and I saw that there was a frozen on the menu So I'm probably gonna have to get that should be a fun day Don't know how much I'm gonna vlog probably gonna turn this into like a weekend vlog honestly cuz I'm not even sure what we're gonna Sophie barks all the time when Ryan plays golf in the house Sophie That's not good doggy Sophie You guys may remember this blanket that I got from Target for some reason it was in my guest room for a while But I brought it out on the couch because it is officially fall y'all and we got a little pumpkin over there Okay, this place is a messy. I'm really sorry. I'm embarrassed right now I filmed two tiktoks and then I did a Friday faves on my Instagram stories. I'm trying to do that I've been saying that I wanted to do that for so long and I finally Took the plunge and did it there's so many products that I'm buying and trying out And I obviously want to tell you guys about it So whether that's like beauty fashion lifestyle like I want you guys to know my favorite products So I think I'm gonna try to do that every Friday on my Instagram stories If you guys aren't already following me go ahead check it out I'll probably make a highlight for all of my Friday faves so you can just look at it whenever But I wanted to show you guys all of my Amazon sunglasses. I thought that would be like kind of fun I'm trying to do different stuff in my vlog just cuz like I said, I feel like it's a little bit repetitive So I feel like bringing more fashion hauls into it could be fun I think I got like four new sunglasses from Amazon. I don't know why well I am going to the beach soon So that's a big reason why but I thought I just needed some like keep like fall sunglasses and I've been wearing these for months now I still love them and honestly I feel like they're indestructible because I Treat my sunglasses like shit. That's why I love buying them on Amazon because they're so cheap These are adorable. They're just like round sunglasses I did want some more oversized ones. So I got these give me a second. Let me find them They're pretty similar to the ones I just had on but I feel like this is a really good ray band dupe Because they have something similar and I feel like all the bloggers wear them with their cute outfits And I just wanted those sunglasses so bad But like I said, I can't spend that much on sunglasses These have more of like a rectangular shape and these are more round I feel like I like these better because they're just like so oversized. I really like that I got these It's just a black round This is kind of unique because I don't really have sunglasses with that little bridge nose thingy mabob and cute Love me a good pair of black sunnies and then these are really cute. So I'll start off with the tortoise ones. I Feel like these are super trendy right now Like the little cat eye thing but just more like boxy not like the round cat eyes So we have this color the tortoise color and then we also have it in black Think I like the black ones better I feel like they just will probably go with a lot more and these came in the same package for under $20 So two sunglasses for under $20 Pretty sure they're like 1799 or something like that and then pretty much all of these sunglasses were like probably like around $15 which is really good. I'll definitely be putting the links down below. So if you guys You know want any of these sunglasses be sure to check those links out. It's 240 and It's lunchtime. I Actually cooked this whole week Which is crazy of me because usually Ryan says like do you want tacos and I'm like, yeah, I want tacos Let's not cook and then we end up spending money and I mean either way obviously you have to buy the groceries, but This camera doing either way we have to buy groceries But like at least we're using the groceries like they're not going to waste but yesterday I went to HPB because I actually made my own ice cream I wonder if it's like frozen today, but I made my own ice cream out of heavy whipping cream coconut milk wait, no, I didn't add coconut milk heavy whipping cream sweetened condensed milk and Like coconut flakes and chocolate chips and it's actually really good. I actually made it from a TikTok You know how you like a TikTok and then you can see all your likes. I wish they had Something like the Instagram boards because I always want to save like things that I'll actually use or like, you know Like cooking hacks or Recipes I want to save that but then they're like all mixed in with like fashions though And I'm just like I can never find anything so I started to write out them in a notes app And just like link the TikToks on there. So whenever I want to go back I have that I went to HPB last night And then I got this shrimp spring roll with peanut sauce So good literally my favorite thing in their sushi section Their sushi is not the best unless you like eat it right then and there But it's still not really the best but these rolls so good So one of my packages got here from Nordstrom It's weirdly it got like split up into two and then both of them got shipped by two different carriers Which was super weird. The other one was like with a local carrier and then this one was by UPS These shoes are from Dolce Vita and They are beautiful. So they're literally just like plain black square toad I just love these straps for some reason. So I'm really excited. Let me try them on. For the past year or so I stopped buying heels that are super high. So these are just like block heels I don't know how many inches that is maybe like four or something I would show you guys my feet, but my toes are like not painted and they are always painted It's been on my toes this whole week, but I'm not gotten around to it I always just mess my toes up So I don't know if I should like wait until I get my nails done for our beach trip because I'll go and get my Nails done for that or just like paint them myself. We'll see. It is almost 5 p.m. I just checked it's gonna take me 20 minutes to get there Which I feel like it's a long time. It's only on the east side I wanted to show you guys my outfit really quick because I'm finally wearing my boots And I'm so excited not my documents, but my boots that I got last year I'm just wearing this like strapless body suit and then my oversized denim jacket from Amazon and then these shorts They're from Abercombe and they're just so comfortable. They're not like super tight or anything They're almost like straight leg jeans, but they're like shorts versions and then I can't remember where I got these boots But I'll try to link them down below. Do you know what brand these are? You remember? It's Camino. Ah, yes, it's Camino. Of course we have a little bit of an outfit change Like literally one second after I recorded that I was like wait, I feel like this shirt would look good So this is from Amazon. I literally just got it. It's just like a silk shirt and Ryan said it looked cool and buttoned I feel like I agree We'll see. Hopefully I don't get stains on it. I'm here at Barpeach with Connor and Mia Look how good my drink looks. I got the Frosé. It wasn't oh, oh my god Started to like try on my jeans and I have some super great news I can finally fit into like a lot of my old jeans I think I went up to a size 12 in jeans and I just fit into a Size 8 which is crazy. They were American Eagle jeans So I don't know if like all jeans are different, but I Literally just bought jeans online and I'm pretty sure I bought like size 12s and size like 31s or something So I'm probably gonna have to return those and get Like smaller sizes. This is honestly so exciting and last night I was out with my friends and I wore my Zara straight leg jeans that I love like to death I got them literally in quarantine like when was it maybe April or something and Wait, was that April? I guess that was kind of a long time ago, but I wore them last night They were literally falling off me. I don't know why I wore them out Because I knew that they were baggy, but I thought like the waistline was like fine like they fit me I thought the jeans were just baggy like on the like legs part But they were falling off me which it was a great feeling but also I was like holding my pants up the whole time I really don't want to come off as bragging But I also want this for my memories and my vlogs and honestly makes me so happy when people say that like I inspired them to Start, you know getting healthier or I mean, I'm not really working out But just eating better. It makes me really happy. So if this can be your motivation I hope it is and I hope this helps someone out. I'm pretty sure I got these jeans in collard They're definitely still a little bit tight, but they are skinny jeans So I guess they're kind of supposed to be tight. I feel like I'm just so used to wearing like straight leg jeans and like really baggy jeans I'm gonna go try them all on and we'll see which ones they get rid of these are my most recent jeans And they are a size 12 and they fit like perfect. So I'm just so confused. Like what freaking size am I? I measured myself and it looks like I'd be a 10 in apricot on me, but this is apricot on me jeans So I'm really confused. Maybe I needed to get like fitted in the store like a bra or something But I'm very confused. I'll link them down below. I got a regular size So I probably should have gotten the short, but I think I'm gonna cut it anyways I'm about to give all these clothes to up to down the cheap feet See how much money I can get. I like a bunch of shoes. Y'all this is like literally as wide as our bed I don't want any of this in like the at least a year probably What the I didn't even like jackets under here Okay, that makes sense because I feel like that it doesn't I mean it you have a lot of clothes But it doesn't I feel like this is your whole closet on the floor, but you saw So in there, so Yeah, yeah, they want like do you have denim I saw they said I don't know about men's stuff But I know they were looking for like denim sweaters Down Ryan's about to get his shopping spree So me and Ryan bet at $300 shopping spree if It's not 400 baby. It's 300. We didn't even write this shit down. So like I could have not even done this, but he He's pretty much winning it. We were just trying to like hit our goals for losing weight and he pretty much Already won by landslide So I'm gonna take him on a shopping spree. He first wanted a Lou lemon shopping spree But now I think what you say you wanted marine layer on South Congress. Is that what it is? Outdoor but I Don't think I've ever heard outdoor voices come out of your mouth. Yeah, I didn't even know you thought I knew what that was Oh my god, um, so how much weight have you lost? Depends up our eight last night. I need a huge dinner Started around 272 ish I'm over 270 and I'm away last night away 243 So what is that almost 30 pounds? Holy shit. Are you kidding me 30 pounds? I'm not 30. I don't know 40 50 60 and 70 Yay, well then you deserve freaking shopping spree get rid of all this freaking Clothes and get some new good stuff We just went to uptown cheapskate dropped off a bunch of our clothes And now we're gonna go to the soup peddler because we've been wanting to go here for a while It's just like a soup place that sandwich smoothies kind of thing. This movie sounds really good. I'm super thirsty Gonna try my juice. Oh my god. I think I have been transported to the freaking beach. I Wish it was a little colder, but it's so good I mean Ryan got Smoothing I like mine. What we said at the same time What mine's so good. It has like lemon ginger pineapple everything. I love So yummy. I got the morning delight or something and then what did you get? Busy bee and then I got some chicken rice soup and then Ryan got girl cheese This is such a vibe out here So cute it is the next day I didn't vlog too much yesterday because we had a really boring Saturday And I just felt really sad the whole day So obviously didn't really want to vlog that but I did end up getting at $74 in cash from Uptown cheapskate for only seven items So I feel like that's good because I feel like if play does took seven of my items They probably would have paid me like $30 So I feel like that's pretty good But you could have gotten store credit and if I got store credit it would have been a hundred and four dollars I'm pretty sure But I just took the cash because I mean I actually really like shopping there But currently I'm just you know saving up more and more every day for that new damn iPhone whenever it comes out Hopefully it comes out soon, but I heard October 12th or something So we will see but I'm hyped about that because my phone is a piece of poop I mean it works, but It like glitches sometimes I thought I would end this vlog off with like a couple of questions from a Q&A that I did on my Instagram stories I'm just gonna pick out some like random questions that I didn't answer So let's do it first two questions I see which I feel like maybe I should address on the vlog will not address But this girl says are you really Indian? Yes, I am both of my parents are Indian My mom was actually born in the States, but then she went to college in India where she met my dad My dad was born in India and then which place in India are your ancestors from so my mom is from Kerala and my dad is from Bombay Bangalore, I think he was born in Bombay and lived in Bangalore or the other way around Let's see. What else? What are some preset tips for brown skin? Okay, so I always desaturate my skin and then Lower the luminance. So it's like this all of the like brown But not like too saturated orange. I always lean towards more of a yellow tint on my skin But I hope that helps you guys out. What are some places that you would like to travel to? I definitely want to go to Italy again. That was my Last place. I really traveled outside of the country other than like islands nearby to the US I want to go back there with Ryan and just explore the Amalfi Coast. That's like a dream vacation I still can't believe I was able to go to Rome definitely check out those logs because they are so cool And like honestly probably the best experience of my life was going to Rome by myself It was like crazy, but I did it and it was so cool I'll actually have those logs down below but other than that I really just want to be in Cancun right now and an all-inclusive like I just want to eat whatever the frick I want I want to be able to drink 10 pina coladas because they're just so yummy and like mojitos are my shit I just want to be in an all-inclusive. So I Want to go to Mexico, I guess Next person asked you want kids and when so it's weird because I feel like this has definitely changed The older I get if you ask my mom she'll tell you that I wanted a baby when I was like two years old but now that I know how much babies costs and How much work they are like sometimes I don't even have time to like give Sophie that much attention and I feel bad so I think that You know hopefully when the time is right then that can happen and especially like when we're stable with money and stuff Like that I'm not opposed to it and I definitely want kids in the future next question is how long have you been on YouTube? I have been doing YouTube since 2013 so about seven years now, but when I started in 2013 I wasn't extremely consistent. I would post like a video a month, but that's when I start YouTube That's all the questions. I'm gonna answer here But feel free to drop any other questions you all might have in the comments down below And then maybe I can add another Q&A to next weekend's vlog It'd be really cool to end every vlog with a Q&A, but I feel like there's not that many questions out there for me I think I'm gonna start a new vlog today. We're gonna go to breakfast. So I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye
