 My name is Sonali, welcome to a new vlog. Today I decided to do a weekly vlog, so I'm gonna try to do it. I haven't done one of these in so long. I feel like it's overdue, and I wanna catch you guys up with my routines during the week, my work, what I do for work, because I feel like a lot of people know what I do, but maybe just not the everyday tasks of it, so I wanna get a little bit more into my corporate job. I'm also a photographer on the side, and I also do YouTube. I feel like there's gonna be a lot going on this week. At my corporate job, they have conference starting tomorrow. Usually you travel to either Athens, Georgia, because they're headquartered there, or a destination conference. I'm so sad that it's not happening because apparently it's super fun, but this year it's gonna be virtual, so I am a content creator, so I do their corporate social media, and then I also help out all their properties in their portfolio with photography and videography whenever they need it. So my job actually does consist of some travel, but obviously with COVID I'm not able to travel. I did go to a couple of Texas properties because it was like driving distance. Not sure if I already said this, but my corporate job is a student housing company, so that's why they have all these properties. They're huge into their marketing, especially for their newer properties, so they always wanna have really good video ads and all of that, and that's where I come in. So for photography this week, I have to work my butt off and get really into marketing because I have not been good about posting on my photography account. If you guys are interested, you can follow me here. It's Anali Productions on Instagram. I also have a website, and I also have a YouTube channel because I do videography too, but it's been mostly photography, so I moved here to Austin in June 2019. I moved here without a job, and so I was trying to, I wouldn't say pursue my photography career, but just kind of see where it took me while I was looking for a job, and then I obviously got a job, so I couldn't really spend too much time on the marketing aspect of photography, which is extremely important because I get a lot of my clients through referrals of either people working with me or seeing me on Instagram, looking out the hashtag and seeing my photos, something like that. So I need to get back to it because grad season is approaching, which is my favorite freaking time of the year. I love photographing grads, and I'm right next to UT, well, about 15, 20 minutes away. So that is where I usually do grad photos. I think I love doing grad photos so much because that's kind of where I started to build my business because I did them in college when I went to the University of Central Florida. I graduated in 2019. So yeah, that's a little background. If you guys are new, hopefully that gave you a little bit of insight of who I am, what I do, and all of that. And then obviously, of course, I said I do YouTube and then all the Instagram influencing kind of things. Definitely want to grow my platforms this year. My word of the year is growth, and that is in every aspect, growing my platforms. Obviously, like I just said, growing my relationships. And there's just so many growing my vocabulary because I feel like I need to be better about that. And I finally wrote in my manifestation journal last night. So I'm gonna continue to do that. I wrote down all the brands I want to work with this year. Another word I wrote down is health, and I want to definitely get back into the health journey. Last week, I did 12, 330 pretty much every single day, and I really want to continue to do that. So I'm gonna take you guys through my week, but right now I'm gonna get back to work. I just took some before and after pictures and videos of my body because I wanted to try to do 12, 330 for like two weeks straight and do a whole video on it. So if you don't see the video, then I did not complete the challenge, but hopefully I can do it because I did it almost every day. Like I said last week, so I think I just need to get back into it. Took yesterday off, but it's not like the hardest workout ever. So I feel like it gives me a little bit more confidence because it's, you know, not like a dreadful workout. If that makes sense. I mean, obviously I just don't like to sweat. I think that's like my biggest problem, but we are gonna go head to the apartment gym. Thank God it's open back up for 24 hours. Staying in? I guess so. I have an issue with my AirPods falling out and my Bose ones are like broken. So annoying, cause I forgot I didn't even take this off yet, but yeah. So I got these little ear buddy things that are attached to your AirPods cause I have the first generation not the pros or whatever. So they feel nice and snug. So I will keep you guys updated to see if they're actually worth it. Cause actually they're not even that expensive. They're like 13 bucks. They do work when you find like the exact position they need to be in, but Ryan just pulled one out and now I couldn't get it back in. So it was like pausing my freaking arm workout because it was like sliding out. The other annoying thing about these is that obviously you can't put them in the AirPods case to charge or like just to hold. So you have to like take them off which is kind of gross and weird. So I guess I gotta do that now. But other than that, I mean if you don't want to buy a whole other headphones, these are a good solution. It's really nice when I'm actually busy and have a lot of stuff to do at work because then I never think about eating which is like not in that way. But you know, like especially because I'm doing intermittent fasting, if I was just like not doing much, I would definitely be thinking like, oh, I'm hungry. I should probably eat. And if I'm ever really starving, I will eat. But today is not one of those days. This is my new obsession. This is the so delicious dairy-free coconut milk yogurt. It is so yummy. Then I put some honey bunches of oats. Like it's granola in my yogurt. It's kind of weird, but it just tastes so freaking good. I want to go grocery shopping today. So I think I might hit up Walmart and Trader Joe's. I don't know. It sounds like it's gonna be an expensive trip but I haven't been shopping in a really long time and I've actually been using this stuff in my fridge. And usually I just like let it all go bad, like not intentionally obviously, but this time I really tried to use up everything. I wanted to go to the grocery store like on Friday but it just wouldn't have been smart to buy groceries right as we were going into the weekend because I knew I was just gonna eat out. So my plan right now is to not be super strict with the diet, but still eat a lot healthier. And then on the weekends, I can eat healthier or treat myself. I really want to make this into a lifestyle and not have me hate it because then I'm just gonna think about the day that I can end this all and get to my goal weight and then go back to the way I'm eating. So I just like don't want that to happen. So I'm gonna enjoy my snacks slash breakfast slash lunch. I don't even know. It probably won't fill me up to be honest but it'll be good for now. I have the airpods in with the ear buddies and I'm getting ready to go to the grocery store. I think I'm just gonna go to Walmart today. Unfortunately, I don't think I should go to Trader Joe's because I feel like we don't have much space in our freezer. We have like the world's smallest freaking freezer. It's like a freaking high school locker. So I don't think I should be doing that but there's so many like good snacks at Trader Joe's and maybe I'll just go later in the week and just get like the things I really, really need at Walmart. But I kind of made like a meal plan sort of thing for this week tonight. I really want to make this like quinoa cheesy chicken thing. I don't know. One of my friends made it for me and it was delicious and I'm like randomly craving it. I feel like it would be perfect for a bachelor night. Night's bachelor, y'all know. And yeah, so I'm gonna head out, probably gonna vlog on my phone just so I don't have to carry this monstrous setup, especially because I'm gonna be alone, Ryan's still working. So gonna head out. It's currently 6 p.m. I have no idea how it took me that long to get the dang groceries because I swear I think I left like 3.30 maybe for but I did drop off one of my friend's birthday presents to her apartment complex. Then I went to the grocery store but still I don't think it should have taken me long. So I was really going through every aisle though because I haven't been in so long and so I was just checking everything out. I was gonna do a grocery haul but then I was like it's just too much and I need to start cooking. So I will just show you guys like what I'm eating throughout the week. But ooh, I feel like my hair is like a little crazy today. I do want to show you guys my new obsession. I only had it once but it was like the best meal I had that week. Like maybe that's a little dramatic but these are so good. I just went to Walmart. So hopefully you guys can find them too. They're just like so flavorful. 370 calories for the whole thing and I just like cut them up and ate it for like a whole meal and it was like really satisfying especially for like a lunch meal. Okay, I have a couple more groceries to get. Ryan's out playing golf right now otherwise I would totally ask him to help me but I do need to start cooking dinner because at seven the bachelor is on perks of living in central standard time. Comes on at seven, ends at nine and you still have like your night. You know what I mean? Cause like when I was in Florida or Georgia and I was watching the bachelor I feel like if it ended at 10 I felt like my night was already over, you know? But I'm going to put these groceries away. I'm literally sweating right now cause I was wearing a hoodie walking up three floors. So yeah, our apartment complex is not having an elevator. Making my quinoa dish. It's actually a lot more tedious than I thought it would be but it's going to be so good. So I'm really excited. But I actually wanted to get more of those clean Yerba Monta drinks because I just drink a few sips when I'm feeling tired and they're really good for like energy. But I saw these and I've seen a lot of people drink them. They're zero sugar antioxidants, vitamins, five calories and zero carbohydrates. So let's do a taste test. Is this a caffeine one? I don't think this is caffeine. There's some ones that are caffeine. Ooh, love me some soda. Everyone always says like stay away from the sodas and then you'll lose weight like so easily. And I just, I literally just can't do that though. Mm, lemonade. I like it. It's Tuesday, I just finished my workout. Actually, I still want to do some arms. I just did a quick body shower and now I'm actually going to get ready and I usually don't but today is the first day of our virtual conference at my company. So I'm thinking that I'm gonna have to be on camera, unfortunately, but I also have the thought of like, well, it's the whole company. Like I don't really think anyone's gonna see me. But just in case, you know, show some face kind of thing. So I'm just gonna do like a quick makeup routine. I'm using my Makeup Forever HD foundation stick. This is my go-to whenever I have to do really quick makeup. I have no idea what to do for my hair, but I feel like whenever I straighten it, I feel like my hair gets so greasy so fast. And for some reason whenever I curl it, it's like fine. So I might just see what it looks like natural because I wore it in a bun and it was like wet last night so it could have some nice curl to it. A little wave, let's hope for that. So I don't have to do my hair. When I was on the treadmill, I was watching all of these, what I eat in a day, TikToks, and they just inspired me so much to actually cook for myself and really just get this health journey going. I think I started last Tuesday so it's kind of already been going, but just continue it. I just did my hair, quick little curl wave type thing and now I'm gonna like set up my desk. A lot of times I do work for my couch, but obviously if I'm on video, I don't wanna be looking like unprofessional in front of like the whole company. So I'm gonna set up my desk, bring my laptop over here. I have a few other things that I wanna do for social. Like I wanna put an Instagram story up with like a countdown thing, but I'm gonna have to do that really fast because it's about to start. Why not do a little unboxing of my corporate jobs, conference box. I really didn't even know we were gonna like get sent goodies because this is my first conference ever. So let's dig in. The theme this year is level up with landmark. If you guys didn't know, I always look on my LinkedIn, but I work for landmark properties. All right, let's see what it is in here. Okay, okay. First I see a ring pop and that is very tempting. And then we got a shirt and it's comfort colors, hallelujah. Ooh, it's long sleeve. That's cute. Okay, this is like the logo for the conference. I'm really sorry that I'm sitting right next to the AC vent. It's so freaking loud. Let's see what else. Okay, what the heck is this? This is cute. I think it's a candy. Oh, I'm gonna have to figure out how to open this. I guess it's a little candy. That is really cute. It's like a little Pac-Man thing. And then we got a Moscow Mule thingy, my barber. Let's see. It has like a little Moscow Mule kit. And then I really hope they sent me a pen because I got one pen the first and only time I visited landmark properties headquarters. See pen, it's not the same pen, but I'm hoping it writes good. But I got this one pen and it's like my favorite pen ever. Next time I go, I'm gonna steal a couple of pens, but we got a little journal, which is perfect because I really want to have like a couple of journals just to manifest. Like I want one for just health and I want one for just my business. This is really cool. It's a webcam cover. I actually don't have one, so that's nice. And then what the heck? I was not expecting this. This is what's in the Moscow Mule kit. I'm very confused, but it looks really cool. I think I'm gonna put on my shirt and like maybe take a selfie. I don't really want to take a selfie, but I want to encourage other people to do so. So I feel like if I do it, then they would be more inclined to do so because I want to have some content for our social platforms throughout the week. So I'm gonna slip on this and I'll be right back. Got my t-shirt on, ready to go. I think I might just eat something before we start just because I don't want to be eating on the video call and I usually eat like 12 and after, but it's starting at 12. I just clocked out of work and now I'm going to schedule some pins on my personal Pinterest. I have heard that Pinterest, you know, helps to grow your audience on every platform or any platform that you want, but it is just so hard and I just don't know what I'm doing. I actually paid for a course like forever ago. It was called Pimpinant Growth or something like that. I don't even know how I found it, but I paid for that course. It was not very cheap and I need to take it again, but right now I'm just scheduling it in the Pinterest app itself. The only thing is you can only schedule it two weeks out. It's really annoying because I want to schedule all these grad photos to go out when people are like booking and when people are, you know, doing their sessions like April, May time. So I might just like repin them during that time. I don't know. I really just need to look into doing that course again, but there's just so many things I have to do. Also, tax season is approaching and I have to get all that shit done with. I have exciting news though. I finally created my own LLC. I said that I was going to make one for years now and thank God my mom helped me. She's always there to kind of just like push me to do things that I hate doing. Last year I got an accountant but my mom really helped with all that and I wasn't really making as much money as I did this past year with my photography. So this year it's getting a little more serious, which is good news because you know I'm making more money but the hard part is that there are so many like random streams of income that I have. So I have this part-time job. I have photography and videography. Then I have like my influencer stuff and sponsorships and all of that Google AdSense. I honestly don't even know where to start but obviously I'm getting an accountant because I would literally do it wrong and accidentally end up in jail. So we're not doing that this year, not going to jail. I actually got inspired to get on Pinterest and start pinning all of these because I saw this TikTok saying that, I'll show you guys, you can go into ads, create an ad, then you just scroll and then you'll see this keyword thing. So I'm gonna just put in graduation photos. So then over here it gives you all of these recently searched or like most searched keywords having to do with what you just put in the search bar. So I'm going to add, let's see, I don't wanna do anything too vague. All right, so I had senior pictures, senior picture ideas, graduation day photos, graduation pictures, makeup maybe. And she said, just put it in your description and I'm not sure if she meant to hashtag them. And so I just went ahead and did that or if you just have to work it into your description wording. So I'm kind of trying to figure that out right now. So this is what I mean when I said that you can't really schedule out your content because these dates are great but this is like the last day right now that I can schedule because it's like two weeks out. It's five 12 and Ryan just got off work so we thought that we would do a little Tuesday activity just to get out of the house. But also because I posted on my photography account that I was booking grads really soon and someone from St. Edward's wanted to book with me and I've never shot at St. Edward's so I wanted to go check out the university and it's actually closer than UT to my house. I'm really beating myself up that I haven't really marketed myself to that school. So I definitely need to start putting hashtags for St. Edward's. But yeah, we're gonna go check out the school. I mean, I asked the girl what are the iconic spots to shoot at and she just named three. So I'm guessing it's a small campus. We'll see, we'll check it out. We thought we would bring Sophie, take her on a little walk around the campus. We're at St. Edward's and we've never been here. It kind of looks like a castle. So we're just gonna like walk around, check it out, see all the photoshoot opportunities. We're back home and I'm going to make some wings and some jalapeno poppers. I'm gonna do the wings in the air fryer. So hopefully they turn out good. Got them all marinated with just like some wing sauce I literally found at the dollar store. Looks like this. Good morning all, happy Wednesday. I'm starting off today by doing 12-3-30. It is pretty early. I decided to just get out of bed and just go and get it over with. And especially because I just wanna get showered. I actually wanna get ready today because yesterday I was feeling really just like, I don't know, confident and like talkative, especially on my stories and I wanna be on my stories more. So if you guys wanna follow me on my Instagram, go ahead and do that. But I feel like putting on makeup just makes me want to talk and like engage with you guys on Instagram. Hopefully my hair is fine after today's workout because I wanna start washing my hair like Monday and Thursday or Monday and Friday of every week. So washing it two times. So let's see how long I can go making this hair less till Thursday slash Friday. I am sweaty today. I actually tried doing my arm toning workouts while I was doing 12-3-30. And I think I'm gonna start doing that because my arm toning workouts aren't even that long. And it just makes me get my workout done and over with even faster and plus sometimes it is very tempting to hold on to the treadmill bars when I'm doing 12-3-30 but when I'm doing my arm toning workouts I can't really do that. So I think I'm gonna start doing that but I'm gonna go home and shower and get to work. I'm freezing right now. I'm like cuddled up in my blanket in this big sweatshirt jacket thing. But I am doing one of my most daunting tasks. And that is creating the content calendar AKA like a really big part of my job. I feel like I'm a weak writer. I'm good with the visuals. Obviously I'm a photographer. I'm a videographer. I can do that. I can do animations, all that stuff. But when it comes to writing this thing is just so blank. And my biggest thing is that I don't know how to write in a corporate voice. And maybe not I don't know how cause like I see it all over LinkedIn and I know how. It's just not how I write. I definitely have more of a conversational voice doing my own brand, my own blog and just writing how I wanna write. And it's so hard to make everything sound so fancy and professional. But I'm trying to work on it. It really takes me forever to do this. And I literally saw it at TikTok the other day. It said like I created like 96 Instagram posts within I wanna say like two hours or maybe like I think it was like 90 minutes honestly. And I was like, okay for what? Like you know what I mean? If it was a corporate thing, doubt you could do that because first of all, I'm having such a hard time finding content because in an ideal world I would be going and traveling and getting the content. But right now obviously I can't travel so I can't really get the content. So I'm trying to ask around the company if people have photos and no one ever takes photos. So that is another issue that I'm having. I always think about the TikTok that's like is it scary out there? And you're like talking to your future self and then the future self comes on and it's like, no, it's really not that bad. Something like that. I don't know, I'm definitely butchering it. But that's how I feel about the content calendar right now because when COVID hit, I was like very scared about creating content because I couldn't get it myself. You know what I mean? And now I've just found ways to pull visuals from like everywhere I can. And I've gotten more confident reaching out to other people in the company and like asking for things I need. So that's exciting. And I just realized that I am coming up on my one year at Landmark Properties. I started vlogging because I wanted to show you guys the animation that I just came up with. It's really cute, really simple but I feel like these little simple animations like pull in the audience. If I saw this on someone's corporate social media I'd be like, that's so cool, you know? So let me show you guys. Like I said yesterday, I was able to travel to some Texas properties. This one is actually in Austin that I took this photo at but the corporate lady that I was talking to had all these stickers from like Landmark Conferences like the standard, which is one of their properties. Conference sticker con, no, that's just as Landmark properties. Anyways, a bunch of conference stickers and guess what? We have a conference this week. So I just put our new conference sticker. This is actually like an illustrator file or a PNG and I just made it look like a sticker. So here you go. And then I sort of like looped it. Let's see, I can see it. There we go. That is the loop people and I just kind of like rotated it so it has a bit of movement. And then I also added a 3D aspect to it so that I could move like all of the accesses because it's not actually like flat. As you can see, it's kind of going like that way more like the computer face. So I kind of had to work with that. When I first got the job they wanted me to post three times a week but since COVID hit and I'm not able to get that much content we're just posting two times a week. So it's Monday and Thursday. It's honestly hard enough to come up with content two days a week. So I'm just going through my content calendar right now and I can show you guys what it looks like. This is what the content calendar looks like. We have the time and date we used to switch up the caption for like the LinkedIn and the Facebook and the Instagram just to differentiate a little bit but honestly it's just the same thing now. So I'm not sure why I still have like the three rows but anyways, we have the hashtag group over here because if I'm talking about property management I will put the property management hashtags right there. Then we have the type. So let's say it's a conference post I'll just put conference post caption description of content like visual content. So I have the sticker on laptop and then in our cloud I just include the cloud link right here. It was pretty simple to make on Excel and you could probably find like random content calendar templates on Pinterest or even just on Google. So I highly recommend doing this if you are a content creator for like a brand. I personally don't do this for my own brand at least for just like my Instagram because I want it to be more real and like every day kind of stuff every day kind of captions so I don't really want to, you know come up with my captions ahead of time but obviously for like a blog post or you know a YouTube channel I have a content calendar for my YouTube channel actually doesn't look like this it looks like a whole calendar layout because I just wanna put the title in the box and that way I can really see it as a visual and it's not so text heavy because obviously it just really needs to have like the title and then I'll come up with a script for it on the doc so that is how I do that and I know some people are really interested in like the career aspect so I'm gonna try to give you guys a little bit more of that and just talk more about my, you know corporate job as well as being a content creator for myself. It's 11 a.m., conference day two it starts I think at 12 again and hopefully I finish majority of this content calendar before conference starts. I just remembered that next month is February which means that there are less days which means that there are less posts that I have to create for February so I'm so happy right now. We currently have a break in our sessions at conference so I'm getting a little sleepy, not gonna lie. So I'm gonna make a chai. We're using the vanilla caramel chai latte from Tazo and I'm pretty sure I got this on Amazon Fresh. I don't know why but all I wanna do is eat today. So hopefully this is gonna curb my appetite just a little and give me energy because that would be great. I'm really just in the snacking mood like I just want something to chew on or something. Maybe I should just eat gum, I don't know. I'll link my straws and my glasses down below I feel like I always get questions on them on my Instagram stories cause I've been doing smoothies a lot recently. I was debating on this and a smoothie but I was like, we'll just do a chai. Sounds easier and less cleanup, which is important. It's almost 4 p.m. and I just clocked out of work. Usually I get off work at 3 p.m. now. I used to get off 3.30 but whenever I went back to Atlanta I started a little bit earlier because I wanted to just see more sun throughout the day and I decided to just keep my schedule so now I'm working 7 a.m. to 3. I clocked out of work late today because obviously the conference is still going on but I have to leave because I have a shoot with one of my favorite clients, Shruti. She's a blogger here in Austin and I'm contracted to work with her every month so I'm heading to a shoot for her. Basically she just has me shoot a lot of paid campaigns because she wants that quality of content to be really good for them. So I'm about to head out. Just got to her house, I'm about to head in. Don't know how much I will be able to film just because I'm at a client's house. So I will try to ask her if she's comfortable with it. I'm trying to find my keys so I can get on my car. We're in the car, we're probably going to go over to a park to shoot a picture because she wants some sampler. This is Shruti by the way. She's one of my favorite clients. We always have so much fun shooting together I feel like. Oh, we have so much fun together. What is your biggest tip for being a blogger just like an influencer? My biggest tip would be know where you need to put your energy. I feel like I haven't heard that before. You haven't heard that. I just feel like even if you think you can do it all sometimes like find someone who can do it really, really well so that you can focus your energy where you need to. I think I really needed to hear that to be honest. Really? Yeah. Like my mind is just so jumbled right now with everything going on. And I just feel like there's so much on my plate that I need to learn to get delegate but I just don't even know where to start. I mean, key point, you're an incredible photographer also and like also as like you're also a blogger. So it's like, I was like, oh my gosh I need to spend less energy with photography. Yeah. Yeah, energy writing. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's where I have the weaknesses writing. I'm back home, got my SD card, gonna plug it in to my SD card reader and upload the photos. For my blogger photo sessions, I don't edit any of the pictures. I just give them all the unedited ones which honestly is great for me because I feel like shooting is so much fun for me but editing just is so tedious. I mean, it's great and everything, especially when you get like that really good photo that you're excited about and the edit looks really good. But I definitely feel like a favorite shooting over editing. I do put them into Lightroom still even though I'm not really editing any of them because if I do want to edit like one or two just for my portfolio in the future or even now, I just like to have them in my catalog. So doing that now. For dinner, I'm attempting to cook something interesting that I've heard mixed reviews on. I'm gonna try to cook some miracle noodles with a Thai red curry sauce. So it shall be fun. I heard the noodles stink though. Lara literally just messaged me on Instagram and she was like, they literally smell like fish. And I was like, no, please don't tell me that. Actually, it's probably better than I know ahead of time but I'm hoping it's just like a faint fish smell. And honestly, ever since I had COVID my smells not really like all the way there yet. So I feel like I should be fine but we'll see, I guess. So I opened the miracle noodles. This is what it looks like. I got the angel hair one. And I'm realizing that I probably should have gotten two of these to put in this because it doesn't look like too many noodles but it didn't smell. And I'm not sure if my senses are fucked up from corona because I had it in March. I don't know if you guys watched that video that I told you guys that I had it but my smells definitely not all the way back yet which sucks because when your mom cooks with garlic and or you're making cookies like you want to smell that smell, it sucks. But I don't know what I can do. Anyways, it didn't smell like fish and all. I couldn't smell anything. It's so weird. I don't know. I've definitely heard that this shit stinks. If you guys have made this, let me know if it like smells for you but it says cook till dry, which is interesting. So I'm cooking it in my always pan. I'm loving this pan and I want to do a full video on it like cooking different kinds of meals and everything just showing how it works. I mean, as a pan, you guys probably know how it works but just really doing like a full review on it. It's definitely made me want to cook more just cause it's so aesthetically pleasing and everything about it, it just like does a lot. So I personally really like it. I'll have a link down below. I know right now you have to like pre-order it and honestly, when I bought it, I think it was like during Black Friday and it took forever to get here but it was perfect because I went home for a whole month and it was here by the time I got back. So I'm watching some vlogs, but it is taste test time. I definitely should have gotten two packets of those noodles cause I feel like that was not a lot for two people and I saved some for Ryan. They really don't look like crazy especially because I've had like those sweet potato noodles before like at pokey places slash like Chipotle kind of places and there was this place called Fresh Kitchen in Florida. Oh my God, I missed it so much. A lot of people have said that Kava and Honest Marys are the same things but I just have not tried it yet. So okay, let's do it. I would definitely say that they're more rubbery in a way. I'm not really weird with texture so it's fine to me but I definitely see that it could be a little weird cause like when you chomp down kind of sounds squishy, I don't know. The sauce that I use is really spicy. I just used like a pre-made sauce that I got from Walmart and it's really spicy. Almost one PM, we're doing conference. It started at 12 and this goes till a lot later today because there's like the award ceremony. So I'm gonna stay on for that. I wanna say I'm like one of the only ones in the company that has a Mac laptop and I remember when I first interviewed for the job, I asked them if I would have a Mac and they said no, I would have a regular computer, like a Dell or something. And I got to landmark HQ in Athens. I traveled there to complete training and stuff like that and there was this Mac sitting on my boss's desk with my name on it. I was like, wait, what's that? She was like, oh yeah, we got you a Mac. Our IT guys said it would be better for your creative stuff and I was like, I literally was about to cry because honestly my biggest worry was learning how to navigate a non-Mac computer or PC. That's what they're called, yes, PC. And I was just so happy that day that I got a Mac. When I got the job, they gave me a corporate card and I had to buy like Final Cut Pro on it and everything. And I didn't realize that my personal credit card was attached to my iTunes account that was like on my work computer. And so I charged my personal credit card with the Final Cut Pro and I had it refunded because I called Apple or Vapswar or something like that and got it refunded. It was still working on my laptop. So I was like, I'm gonna keep going and see how long it works for because I don't think I could even repurchase it because it was like working on my laptop, you know? But I updated my computer and it finally stopped working and this whole time it said something about like an Apple ID, like a different Apple ID bought it, so I emailed the IT guy because I couldn't remember like that I bought it. And he was like, I never bought it, so do you have another Apple ID? And then I was like, oh wait, it literally says something about being refunded and I recall that I got refunded for this. So I am about to purchase Final Cut Pro. Have to 300 bucks and I'm gonna have to put in a certified report so that, you know, the company can pay it. And I also am gonna purchase Linktree Pro. I just made us a Linktree for our Instagram bio because we wanted like, you know, a place where all of our links can live. So we don't have to like constantly change out the website and the bio if we're talking about like a specific page on our website in the caption of like today's Instagram post. Today I learned what a UTM code is because I had to use them for the links so that we could track it. So let me read this to you guys. A UTM code is a simple code that you can attach to a custom URL in order to track a source, medium, and campaign name. This enables Google Analytics to tell you where searchers came from as well as what campaign directed them to you. UTM codes are also known as UTM parameters or tracking tags because they help you track website traffic from its origin. So basically we can track these links, let's say from our website and see that these people are coming from our Linktree in our Instagram bio. So I thought that was really cool. I'm gonna get back to conference. I literally just went to the bathroom for maybe five minutes and Ryan was like, they're about to do a breakout session and I ran back here. It was my first breakout session. I didn't even know what was gonna go on. So I was a little anxious, but it went well. So we're all good. I just clocked out of work and it is the weekend for me. I don't work on Fridays. So I'm about to put my laptop in its weekend place. It's like my favorite thing to do on Thursdays. It's so lame of me, but I have this mirror over here and I just put my laptop behind it. All right, see you on Monday. We're gonna do a little Thursday activity because it's the weekend for me, not Ryan just yet. Unfortunately. This jacket's from Carrie Underwood's line called Clea. It's really cute. It's like quilted that mocha color that's super in, got my set active leggings on, then my Air Force ones. Okay, so we are at Zilker because we thought we would do a little Thursday activity. So we brought a blanket. We like never bring a blanket. Ryan brought his golf club and a ball for Sophie. So she's gonna have a lot of fun. Time to go play, Sophie. She doesn't like other dogs. She gets scared. Plus they're all so big and hyper and she's like kind of old. She's like eight years old. So let's see what she does. Did you ball? Good girl, going away from the setup. It's a pretty cool day out compared to all the other days of the week. And that's probably why there's not as many people as there usually is at Zilker. Like normally you can literally not find parking. Even the gravel lot over there is like always so full. But I always try to manifest a parking spot. Sophie is just really disinterested in this ball because she's smelling so much dog pee everywhere. Stop peeing every five seconds. Sophie, is over there? It's 6 p.m. and there's still some sun outside, which is good news because the days are getting longer. We're about to head out and we're really hungry. We might try a new taco place. So stay tuned. We're gonna get some birria tacos. It's our first time trying it. So Shelby, but it's like a cheesy taco that you dip in some liquid. We're home and we're about to try the birria tacos. They smell really good. They do have cheese on them, babe. And we're gonna dip them in the sauce and it's called consomme. Oh my God, these smell really, really freaking good. I hope you guys enjoyed this week in my life. I only filmed four days because that is my work week. But if you guys want more of these kind of videos, definitely let me know and I can film it for you guys. So I will see y'all in my next video. Bye.
