 Alright, we're off. Really not looking forward to that, but here we go. Pennsylvania, here we come. Welcome to another vlog. I am currently on my way up to Pennsylvania to visit my friends and family. I'm staying up there for about three weeks and I decided to take this trip now because it's my birthday in two weeks? Three weeks? And I'm turning 30 years old, which is so crazy. I'm excited about it. 30, flirty and thriving, am I right? But I was trying to decide for months and months what I wanted to do for my 30th birthday because I don't typically do anything exciting. Like I don't really celebrate my birthdays, but I feel like for 30, like that's a big deal and I wanted to do something kind of special. I just thought, you know, all I really want to do is just be with my closest friends and just have a good time. So I am renting an Airbnb in the middle of the woods pretty much and I'm having a little party and I'm very excited. I'll be doing that in two weeks and the rest of the time I'm just gonna visit my family and see everybody, but I am currently about halfway there. Just crawling along in DC traffic, love that. Yeah, I just wanted to pop on here and say hello and give me an update and let you know what's going on. I'm gonna try to vlog this trip as much as I can while also like still being in the moment and enjoying it, you know. Also I'm very excited because my parents know that I'm planning on coming up for my birthday, but they don't realize that I'm staying as long as I am and I did not tell them that I'm coming today. They think I'm still not coming for like another week or two. I'm just gonna show up and surprise them and that should be really fun. I'm here for my package. It's a couple weeks later. We have a little bit of catching up to do. So first of all, before I forget, I know I just like randomly appeared with a septum piercing and didn't say anything about it. I had wanted this really, really badly like 10 years ago when I was in college. I don't know, I chickened out. I never ended up doing it because I didn't know how I was gonna like it on myself. And then recently I was thinking about doing it. Randomly one day while I was still in North Carolina just literally went into the piercing shop by myself, spontaneously, wasn't planning on getting it pierced that day. So I didn't vlog it or anything. I definitely like how it looks better when I have makeup on and I'm like all done up. I've been in PA for two weeks now and I've just been trying to see my friends as much as possible. It sucks because the weather has been so shitty since I've been up here. There's been a handful of like nice days, but for the most part it's been kind of cold and a lot, a lot of rain. So a lot of my days have been spent just inside. I watched season four part one of Stranger Things. Oh my god, so good. I can't wait for the last part to come out. So it kind of sucks not really being able to go out and do very much, but at the same time I feel like it's nice to just have a little bit of a break and just take time off and just be on vacation mode. I will say though I thought that being here would feel like super nostalgic and it has it. I mean it's beautiful up here. Don't get me wrong and I'm so happy to see my friends and family, but I don't know. The whole time I've been up here it's just been making me really appreciate where I live in North Carolina so much and I keep thinking like I wish all my friends and family would just come down there because then it would be perfect because I miss all of them and I love them, but I don't miss this area. At least not yet, you know. My allergies have also been terrible. My hair's been super, super dry and like really tangly, which I feel like is probably because of the water too because my parents have well water. Definitely enjoying my trip and making the most of it, but I'm not gonna lie. I miss Wilmington. I kind of think if there was anything like eventful that happens, I don't think so. But I'm currently at an Airbnb and it is just so freaking cute. It's in the middle of nowhere in the woods like the dirt road getting up here as you saw was so narrow and terrifying, but I booked this place for the weekends and I'm having a bunch of my friends come over tomorrow and we're gonna grill and just hang out, drink, play music, have a good old time and I wanted some place that would be like secluded so we could just enjoy ourselves and not like disturb anyone. It's really cute here though and it's like so aesthetic like the way they have everything decorated. It's so cute. There's a lot of plants inside so I'm excited. Hopefully we can get like some nice pictures while we're here too. It's my 30th birthday on Tuesday, but let me show you a little tour of this house. I literally just got here. I didn't even bring my bags inside yet. So this is the front of the house. It has this really nice wrap around porch. So I have some seating over here and then this is the entryway. There's a little living room that opens up to the kitchen. I just love the decor in here. It's very much my style. It's so freaking cute and all of the skylights. I love it. And then down in here there's the bathroom. Love this. And then over here we have some bunk beds. There's like a loft one all the way up there. I kind of want to go look. Actually this isn't a bed. It's just the top. So never mind. Come up here and just hang out and read I guess. There's some books over there. Oh my god. This is terrifying. And there's a bedroom over here. I love the ceilings. Oh there's a light up here. Oh there we go. Closets. Oh my god with robes. Oh my god I'm so excited. Definitely gonna be putting those on later. And then there's another bedroom over here. More robes. We love to see it. And then out here there's the swinging bench that I was just sitting on. There's a bunch of string lights all over in the backyard here so I cannot wait to turn those on later. More seating over here. A little table. And then it wraps around back to the front. Yeah look at all these string lights. These are gonna be so cute. A little table down here. I haven't come to check out down here yet. This is the most exciting part. Hot tub. Oh my god. I cannot wait to go in here. Look how cute it looks from the back. Adorable. And then there's a fire pit over here. This is gonna be super fun. And then this is a little grill. Yeah look how nice. It's like so serene. And there are houses like back there because I passed a bunch on my drive up here but you can't see them at all or hear anything from here. So super private which is exactly what I wanted so I'm really happy about that. This is gonna be so nice. Julia my friend who I do my podcast with is on her way to meet me. She's gonna stay here with me tonight. We're just gonna hang out make some drinks. We're doing an Instagram live on our podcast page. I'm excited for her to get here. It's so nice but I feel like as soon as it gets dark it's gonna be really freaking creepy. So I definitely don't want to be here by myself. Okay yeah because I didn't even think about that and I haven't had anything to eat since like breakfast time so. Okay bye. So before I came up here I stopped at the store and I got a few things like I got paper plates and napkins and cups and stuff like that for tomorrow. And then I also got a couple things for tomorrow morning when we wake up. Half and half for our coffee of course and orange juice to make mimosas with and I got back a coffee. Got some cinnamon bread but I was not thinking about dinner tonight so I was just talking to Julia. She's about a half hour away she said and she's gonna try to see if she can find something because my entire drive up here was like all back roads and I did not pass anything. Like it was all just woods and like a few houses and we're planning on drinking and doing our Instagram live and all that when she gets here like I said uh so yeah we definitely should eat something but got all the alcohol forgot food but didn't forget the alcohol of course so we got some vodka. We have some champagne for our mimosas in the morning. We have some knockoff Kahlua and some knockoff Baileys. You know what that means. Espresso martinis. Although I don't have espresso but I can make regular coffee to put in it or just skip the coffee all together. That's fine. So yeah I am just gonna wait for her to get here I guess. I'm trying to decide which bedroom I want to take. I think I'll do this one because it feels cooler. Yeah this room definitely feels cooler. I kind of like that it has those shelves over there but I could put my stuff on but I'm gonna let Julia take that room. You know she gets hot very easily and I get cold very easily so I think this room will be better. Oh here she is. I haven't seen your new car yet. What do you like? Very nice. That little two-tone action. Wow amazing. For a base morning. Um do you have a lot of stuff do you want me to grab anything? First things first. Most importantly. Hello. I'm so excited. Wow. You're fucking huge. Oh my god. Yes. All right well I'll just I'll just grab this stuff for now. I'm gonna. Too bad I wasn't recording that. Hit the ceiling fan. No. Oh god. I can't believe it. Yeah I know. No. No. It's a big asshole. Tape it. Maybe. This one will just not float. Yeah well we well if there's tape we could tape it to the wall. Are you? Oh my god. Wow all right well oh my god. Just an O. Oh my god. You can have a super size. Yes a ginormous martini. Okay my idea was like so exciting. I'll do 30 little gifts. Yeah. Oh yes. Maybe this will be my outfit tomorrow. I wasn't sure what I was gonna wear but now I know. Yes karaoke microphone. I was like you didn't we just use it this weekend. I know literally. Well you know that I will use this all the time. I thought it was something you might need. On a regular basis even when I'm just like home alone with the rest of the games. It has a voice changer too. Oh hell yeah. That's gonna be fun. I absolutely will be using that. That's like a practical adult. Oh dishcloth. I love those like cute. Wow eco-friendly. Thank you. That's a little candle. Oh I got that from a glisten. Albany. It smells so good. It's in here. Yeah. Amazing. Does it? Is that a magnet? No. I don't think so. It was like a perfect British thing and then I realized it didn't come on that. Oh my god. I love cozy socks. That's in the world. But you have to be careful when you wash them because I ruined mine. They're more like drying them. Yeah yeah yeah. It's like a sleep mask but they came out with a new one. Oh my god. And you don't have to use your finger. It has a spatula that you put inside. You know what's so funny is I literally was gonna get another sleeping mask. How do you open this? Now I don't need to. Oh let me just try that. Yeah. And then a little spatula. Oh my god. Laneige new lip product. Is this the spatula? Yeah. It's right in the lip. Oh my god. It's like so buttery. Yeah. Good. I needed this literally right now because my lips are so dry. Oh my god. Yes. I've opened my card. Oh my god. Sushi. Amazing. So cute. Thank you. Oh my god. But like there's Sam's car. There's mine. There's nothing else. Yeah there's. I think there's a house. There's really nothing there. Hey we're vlogging. Oh we made our drinks. Oh my god. I just slit. We made our drinks. I have my ginormous espresso martini. Hi vlog. And we're Instagram live-ing. It's now 12, what time is it? Like 12 30 at least maybe later. We were planning on going on Instagram live for like an hour. We ended up being on there for almost four. Like we just kept it going. It was everybody was just hanging out with us all night. It was a good time. We got these balloons blown up. We had bitch on my Gemini. I had my little photo shoot. We took pictures and then Julia wanted pictures with just bitch which is hilarious. They came we got the best picture in the robe. We shot the camera right now or the set of our phones and we could put the timer on. I just don't know where we would. I guess we could put it up there. Yeah we should do that. We should for the channel. Real quick. Well because we have our makeup done all night you know. We literally like I got ready. I did full face of makeup. Literally just for the one picture. I wanted to do my pictures with the 30 but as you know yeah. So hopefully my brother I asked him if he would pick up a three tomorrow on his way up here. But yeah I finished. I had where'd my martini glass go? I had this entire martini glass filled with an espresso martini and I drank the whole thing. So uh yeah I'm gonna need to eat some cold stale fries. Oh no just hiccups. Hold your breath. Hold your breath and count backwards from 100. Oh no. Did that scare you? Okay but now we are in our bathing suits and our robes. We're gonna hit up the hot tub finally. I'm very excited. I love how we have done like nothing really all night but it's been so fun. Oh it's chilly. This is like perfect. This is literally yeah this is perfect. Yeah this is like end of the night. Like everyone's just like we're having our coffee and we're about to make some mimosas. Look at us in our robes. Yeah we went oh yeah I've recorded that. We went in the hot tub last night for a bit. We look like a couple on a spot. I love it though. This is the exact same IKEA robe that I have at home. This is a great basic robe. Yeah yeah it covers everything because it's like a nice towel-y material so put it on right after you shower. You know sometimes you go to a hotel at least for me. You go to a hotel and their robe is like teeny tiny not here. It's a good size. Full coverage. Yeah 10 out of 10. I love it and I feel like I'm at home. Yep love we're just chilling and then we're gonna go out to the store get some food to make later. We need to kind of straighten up a little bit. We need to get better tape for our balls. That's what's left. Yeah that's what's left of the balloons. I know I definitely want to put the whole thing. It should be up whenever it's possible. Oh yeah and then I blew this up too last night so this has to gotta put that somewhere. Yeah it's a very nice peaceful morning. Beautiful sunny day. Thank God there's all that's left of the bitch I'm at Gemini wall. It's Sunday. Like Sunday evening now at this point. Honestly I don't even know what footage I got yesterday. I know I didn't really pull the camera out very much. I think most of the footage I got was just on my phone and like on my Instagram story. I can't wait to get back down south because of my allergies. Oh my god but it was a really really fun weekend. It's still not over. I still have one more night here so I'm gonna try to make the most of it and enjoy it and just have like a nice peaceful night to myself. When I got here on Friday I was like it's a little creepy. It's like in the middle of nowhere but it's just so peaceful and I'm honestly looking forward to just having the alone time and it being like completely quiet because since I've gotten up here I haven't been completely alone at all the entire time. I'll put a link to this Airbnb in the description. The girl that owns this place actually has a few different Airbnb's in the area. Each house is just so cute and so unique and I love her style and they're all kind of like in the middle of the woods like super secluded so if you're just looking for a nice peaceful getaway highly recommend and she's been a really great host but yeah I cleaned up everything in the backyard put everything away out there and I just need to take down those balloons and then I sell a bunch of stuff in the kitchen and in my bedroom but for the most part it's pretty clean in here so I'm gonna watch The Time Traveler's Wife on HBO because a new episode came out today and then I'm gonna pack up all my stuff in the morning and head out of here and then I'm gonna go back to my parents house for a couple more days. My actual birthday is on Tuesday. My mom took the day off of work so we are going to spend the day together and then Wednesday I am driving down to Philly and I'm staying with my friend Kayla and then Thursday morning I'm gonna head back down to North Carolina. That's my plan for the rest of the week. I'm gonna enjoy my peaceful night and hopefully nothing creepy happens. Hello! It is Friday morning. I finally got back to my apartment in North Carolina yesterday. It was rough so Wednesday I drove down to Philly to spend a few hours with my friend and stay over at her place. I thought you know Philly is on my way so that'll cut out like two hours from my 10 hour drive back home. When I was leaving it said that my timing was gonna be good. There wasn't a lot of traffic. I thought everything was gonna be fine but there ended up being tens of traffic and then between having to stop for bathroom breaks and for gas and all of that it still ended up taking me 10 hours. So needless to say by the time I got back here yesterday I was just done. All I wanted to do was take a shower which I did. It felt amazing and lay on the couch to watch the Kardashians and then go to sleep so that's exactly what I did by nine o'clock. I was in bed asleep. It feels really good though to be back. The weather feels so nice. It is so warm. Anyway I'm gonna wrap up this vlog here. Thank you guys so much for watching. Thank you so much for all of the birthday love that I received on Instagram and to all of my friends who came and hung out with me last week. I love you guys so much. I had so much fun but I am really excited to get back to real life and work and a normal routine so I will see you guys really soon in my next video. Bye!
