 Hello everybody! Welcome back to another vlog. I'm on my way to the Long Beach flea market today, which I've never done before. I'm going to meet up with Karina and Alexa, the usual drift crew. I am so excited to see them and catch up. I haven't seen them in like, I don't know, a month almost? Oh wowie. Good morning. I'm about 15 or so minutes away and it has been, it's been a rough few days, let me tell you. I don't even really know where to begin, but it started with I think Layla going in for her consultation before her surgery and I want to say like a week ago or so. Layla went to her ophthalmologist. She got prescribed some drops and some like eye ointment to do in the meantime before her procedure and long story short she ended up having like a reaction to one of the medications and it was really scary. She wouldn't open her eye. It was like a whole thing. Yeah, had a nervous breakdown of course. So I called the vet and was like what is going on? Like she's clearly, it's burning her eye. Like clearly whatever's going on and they were like okay stop taking that. So the actual day of her procedure we just dropped her off and then like stayed close by because they said it was only to take like three to four hours and it took like six but that's a whole other story. Anyways, we just like popped around town, did a little bit of shopping, stopped into some thrift stores. We went to Urban Outfitters. We went to this really cool Barnes & Noble that used to be like an old movie theater. We were just trying to like calm our nerves honestly. It's just a really stressful situation and then after the surgery or the procedure, which if you missed like the vlog where I talked about it, she has, I can't remember the name of the tumor, but she had a tumor on her lower eyelid that had developed over the last like two months and she needed to get that removed. So luckily she was able to do that with like sedation and then they use cryotherapy to like freeze it off. But anyway that surgery or that procedure and like the combination of just the stress on her as a senior dog as well as just like physically being there and probably pacing around stressing out for hours and hours. It was really really bad. The recovery was really really bad. It was almost as bad as like when she had her leg surgery or when she got her teeth pulled. Yeah, I mean I fully had like a mental breakdown and was sobbing and it was awful and I'm like I know that I feel probably like complaining when it comes to stuff with my dog but like this is what's going on in my life. Like this is my current situation so this is what is going on and this is what I'm going to talk about. So it was a really really rough few days. Laila was not herself at all. I genuinely think she was traumatized. It was terrible and so it was a rough few days and then she kind of turned to corner and we started seeing some like like come back into her eyes and she started like wagging her tail. Started like wanting us to pet her like showing us her belly like all that kind of stuff but yeah it was really really really horrible and I'm glad that you know we got it done but I will never put her through something like that again. From this point forward Drew and I both decided we were like this is it. Like this you know anything else we're just gonna have to deal with for the rest of her life and just make sure that she's as comfortable and as happy as possible. She did celebrate her 12th birthday recently so we had like a nice little evening. It was actually on Valentine's Day. We always celebrate her birthday on Valentine's Day so we had like our little Valentine's Day and then her birthday thing so anyways all that to say that's what I've been up to that has taken up all of my time literally over the last like week and I'm exhausted. Drew and I actually did take a little hike yesterday. We went to run and um oh my god. I feel so stupid because moving to LA like the first time I made the mistake of not reading meters or leaving my car like past the point of the meter time or whatever and getting like a very expensive ticket but I feel like I've gotten pretty good at reading the parking signs and being good about it so anyways yesterday I started seeing that there's just like lines of cars parked on either side of the street so we're like oh let's just like avoid stressful parking like park behind these cars and just walk up to the trail so we did that we did the trail on our way back from the trail we were watching cars getting hauled off and being towed and I was like oh my god like is my car still there and there were so many parking enforcement officers around writing everybody tickets and I was like oh my god I didn't even look at the sign that said you cannot park here or you will get towed and I was like so by the time I got to my car my car did have a ticket but it was not towed thank god however I'm gonna give you a little bit of real life here um that ticket was $93 and that one hurt that hurt to pay it was $93 for a parking ticket I feel like that is criminal never follow the crowd no no always check always make sure because every single person I mean there were like 50 cars every single person got a ticket if we were watching people get towed too so that really really sucks so anyways that hike wasn't worth it but I mean I'm glad we went it was pretty views and stuff we'll be absolutely finding different parking next time oh my god I'm terrible anyways this has been an entirely too long clip but we're just catching up it's like we're in the car together it's like we're driving around together chit chatting in the car that's what's going on with me thank you for listening to me trauma dump everything's good now like I feel so so much better so let's head to Long Beach I don't think I've ever been to Long Beach actually and we're gonna go to this one flea market I'm filming a main channel video so you'll see that probably before you see this and we will catch up with you in a bit with the girlies oh it is the next day now and we're headed out to go to Erwan because some of our friends are coming over Josh and Noel are gonna come over here because we're gonna plan our trip for Japan we're gonna just like book some things in advance there are some things that we're gonna do just like and wing it some things we're gonna do separately some things we're gonna do together but we just want to book like a few things that like the reservations open up a month beforehand so we're like right around the month mark so we're so excited I'm gonna grab some sunglasses we're gonna head to Erwan because we have become those people I'm sorry I just it's so much fun for me to go to Erwan and just like look at fancy groceries and things that are just not available at the typical grocery store it just makes me feel excited it's like something new and different Leila does have her cone on this morning but she's been doing really really well we're gonna attempt to take it off tomorrow if you hear her squeaking in the background it's because I'm talking about her we're gonna attempt to take the cone off tomorrow and see if she's able to do it they said after day five we can test to see how she does without the cone and then if she still messes with her eye we have to put it back on for two more days so anyways here's my sway was hi hi sweet girl say my eye is doing okay after surgery I'm just being a sweet angel you're making it seem very sad but you were just playing earlier it's okay there's your leila update things are looking up after the last few days it was like pretty freaking rough there for a second so anyway all right we are going to head to Erwan because we can why not it's just a fun little thing we like to do we've got some laundry going oh as an update I think I mentioned this yeah I did for sure because you guys heard the sound in the vlog but we did replace or we did get our ice maker replaced from Best Buy and we've actually moved it over next to the sink so it's actually more convenient because then when we need to like clean it you just put the little hoses like into the sink right here so we sanitized it cleaned it I don't know why I said we because Drew did the entire thing but um it's starting to fill up with ice again so we'll see how it goes and how long it lasts hopefully it doesn't make that horrendous noise again oh my god it was so traumatizing people thought it was moo really I mean fair yeah fair play true all right let's go get some fancy snacks and like natural wine or something let's do it back then I'm just getting out of my car and this is the view to walk into the grocery store sorry that's just insane this is why this is why we moved here good morning everybody today has started out as a great day and we're actually getting some work done today after all is said and done I have had some lazy time I actually was going to meet up with a friend today oh my god you can perfectly see where my pimple patch was I don't think I like washed it off enough before I put on my makeup I feel like I can see the adhesive anyways it's time to get some work done I was actually going to meet up with a friend at the grove and then we were going to like hang out for a bit and then I was going to film a fitting room video but she had something come up at home so she has to head home so I'm going to head to the grove I'm going to film the fitting room video and then I'm just trying to like stack up videos for the next few weeks because I will be going on like a big trip so I just want to make sure that I don't have to worry about that and that's like already pre scheduled and ready to go while I'm gone because I made that mistake in the past for sure I just finished watching Kelsey Ballerini's interview on like Call Her Daddy I think it's called the podcast and it was actually really good I have been seeing all of her TikToks recommended to me recently she's a country singer I'm not really like a country girly sorry I know I'm like from Nashville I know my dad was in like the music industry it's just not my vibe I'm sorry I love 90s country like early 2000s and all that but I had been seeing like a ton of her TikToks I had never listened to her music before and I had been seeing a ton of TikToks about this new like EP that she released about her divorce and it's fascinating the short film that she created like around the EP was amazing I thought the songs were really good and so I watched her interview so that's how I spent my time getting ready this morning I just got dressed I'm wearing kind of like a very casual loose comfy outfit because I'm going to be changing a lot so why does it even matter so here are the details I just have this white cropped T this is from Everlane I believe I finally just like invested in a really nice one because I was tired of going through all like the cheap ones this jacket is thrifted I think I got this at the Rose Bowl flea market it's so comfortable I love it these pants I think I got on thread up there maybe from like H&M I honestly don't remember I don't remember or maybe I bought these from H&M and then these Adidas Sambas I got on Poshmark oh and then these sunglasses and earrings are from Amazon so anyways that's today's look my hair looks like this because it is extremely dirty and I just decided to look it back that's what we're going with so we're gonna head in the car go to the fitting room film this video and then we will catch up in a little bit all right just finished up with the fitting room video it did not go the way that I thought I was going to but I'm right next to a Sephora so I might as well obviously secured the bag got my Sephora I think I'm gonna actually stop by this coffee shop that I'm seeing everywhere on TikTok I'm so sorry if it's loud it's very very windy right now I've been saying this coffee is good it's not Alfred it's called La La Land so let's try it out my coffee it's called the La La Latte it has a cute little like thing on the lid but you just take off and try it so I think it has honey some kind of milk I don't actually know espresso and ice it looks really cute this does sort of feel like gimmicky in a way but we'll see if it's actually good cheers I'm just looking around and everyone else has straws on there am I supposed to put a straw in there's like a little hole to drink it out of I don't know I'm gonna give it like a seven and a half out of ten it's good I wouldn't like ever come here just to get it but like if I was ever here and wanted to get a coffee which like I feel like that's one thing that the Grove has actually been needing is like some good coffee like a good coffee shop so I mean hey I'll take it so anyways let's head back to the car I'm gonna show you my little Sephora haul and then head home and do some more editing what a fun little lunch break all right fam we made it back in the car I'm gonna do a mini Sephora haul for you because why not I don't know what I'm doing with this angle okay whatever it is so windy and luckily I slicked my hair down but man it is really struggling so you know walking into Sephora with the best of intentions and then walking out spending 152 dollars is kind of the story of my life I feel like Sephora has become my new target so I got a few different foundations and by a few I mean two I got these are just like refills um this one is the Rihanna Fenty Beauty Pro Filter Soft Matte Foundation and I got this in the color 150 I have this one I'm running low on it so just restocking with another one this is a really good like full coverage wear it all day kind of foundation and this is in like my lighter shade so I try to keep like a couple different foundations because this is like for when I'm my palest and then I will also have a darker one for when I'm my darkest and then I'll like mix them when I'm in between don't look at today because I feel like my foundation doesn't match today but this one is actually different than the one I originally had I always get the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation but they were out of like the normal one and so this is the Born This Way Matte Foundation and it's like oil controlling it's like a 24 hour so I think it's more of a like full coverage long wearing foundation but I thought I would try it oh god it's breaking this is in the shade vanilla so I'll let you know how that goes and we'll see if it ends up being good and then this is exciting this is the Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner I've been seeing so many cuties wearing so much cute eyeliner lately I particularly got this for my Taylor Swift look but also just for funsies I got the shade Glam Rock and like look at this can you even like this in my crease or on top of my eyeliner like as like a double wing gliner so cute so fun it reminds me of high school I used to love that kind of stuff so I got that and then finally I got this JVN which is Jonathan Van Nesses brand it's called the complete blowout styling milk silicone free sulfate free color safe and vegan and basically it says add one to two pumps in your hands and put it on your damp hair and then blow dry with a round brush so I think this is like moisturizing but also kind of like a mousse at the same time and I saw a girl who has like amazingly perfect hair on Instagram used this before she blew out her hair and I feel like the reason I'm having a hard time with like the Dyson and all these other like hot tools blow dryers like holding in my hair like my hair has a hard time holding the blowout look I think it's because I'm not using like any kind of product with hold in it so I'll try this out maybe in a vlog and I'll let you know but yeah that is my little Sephora haul so I'm actually gonna head home and finish editing like I mentioned I definitely need to make some lunch so gonna go home do that hang out with Drew and then we will catch up in a bit I'm home I changed into my comfies and um we're getting really really real I had an IBS flare up when I got home so anyways we're gonna take it easy and just relax for a little bit I'm actually gonna get in the bath I just ran a bath while it's running right now and I'm gonna use like a nice lush bath bomb just chill watch some love island with Drew of course we've been watching every single night and it's getting so good thank you so much for hanging out with me over the last few days it means a lot I appreciate you being here and I will see you very soon in the next vlog bye
