 YouTube and welcome back to another vlog. It's like 7.30 in the morning right now. I got in so late last night. I went to bed honestly at like 2.30. My sleep schedule has been so messed up. This week I'm really gonna try to get back on track. I am currently in Los Angeles for a week and if you're new here when I say I'm in LA for work it means I'm in office for my brand that I own, Dairy Boy. We recently opened an office in LA so I have to be here, especially right now, sort of a lot. Been a lot of traveling recently. It kind of hit me last night. Just need more sleep honestly. I'm just putting on my jewelry for the day. I'm going to unpack my suitcase, put on my outfit for the day and then I have a ton going on today. I'm excited to be vlogging for you guys. I really love how motivated I am to specifically vlog. It's definitely a whole thing but I'm just like really motivated to create content on YouTube and connect with my community. I respond to pretty much all the comments on my YouTube channel because I just think it's so incredibly kind. I don't know what it is about specifically YouTube. When someone takes the time to watch a 20 to 30 minute video of mine and then decides to leave a really encouraging, sweet comment I just really feel like it's a connection. I know you can't have a full connection with someone through a comment online but I really do feel like I connect with you guys more on YouTube, which I've said before. But I really, when I'm tired and I don't feel like being on camera or I don't feel like vlogging, I really feel motivated to get up and vlog and create and connect with you guys. Thank you guys for making this a space that I get really excited about and I get really excited to create on here. But anyways I'm going to unpack my suitcase and then I actually have an apartment viewing. I'm excited financially, it actually makes a lot more sense for me to get an apartment then continue to stay in hotels. I've spent on hotels so far to stay in LA for work way more money than I would spend on rent. It's crazy for me to think about having another place. A little bit, which I've talked about with you guys on here, but it is a little bit crazy for me to think about having another place because obviously Tommy and I have our place in Florida. I have my house in Connecticut and then adding to LA, but like I said before, it's really just a home base for work. I'm going to leave a few things there simple just literally like some place that I'm coming in and out of for work. And it's more cost effective for the business. So I'm going to start looking at apartments. Like I said in my last vlog, I was really stressed before about the idea of trying to make LA feel like home because I have lived here before and I really didn't love it. I also was in a very different place in my life with no real purpose in LA, but it did really stress me out thinking about like having to furnish and make another place feel like home. I'm like, how am I going to make three places feel like home? There's just no way for me to do that. And I realize that I don't have to do that. I don't have to make it feel like home different or I've like lived in my natural hair color. The more I thought it looks so much more flattering. We've highlighted like a face frame sort of situation. I have some highlights in and then we're going to do low lights now, which is like the darker or brunette looking vibe. And then we're going to tone it. What else are you going to do? I don't know what else. Okay, we got some food from Goop kitchen. I'm really excited about it. I've heard really good things about this takeout, but I've never gotten it before. Okay, I got this Asian chicken salad and then I got a salmon bowl because I couldn't decide. They both look really, really good. This smells so good. Okay guys, I just got back. I wanted like a really strong money piece next to like a light brown. My hair is brunette, but it lifts really easily, which is super nice because I can maintain this hairstyle and it will stay much healthier. Anyways, I'm going to wash my face and get ready for bed. It's so early. It's like seven, but I've been on the craziest worst sleep schedule. I'm really looking forward to going to bed super early tonight. Good morning blog. So I'm about to run out to another apartment viewing. This spot is very different than the townhouse that I showed yesterday and I honestly really want your guys' opinions on this. Please let me know in the comments what you guys think about this. So I'm going to bring you guys with me to the apartment viewings to go get more of an idea of what I'm talking about. So I'm kind of torn. Obviously, getting another apartment in general is still a crazy thought to me, but I just have to do it just for a few years until the business is in a place that I'm really confident with. It's so important for me and my brand for me to be here and be really involved in as much as I possibly can. I've hired an amazing team and I've hired someone to help me with more of the business side of things, but that being said, it's so important for me to continue to be really involved with Dairy Boy, which means that I have to get a place here. But anyways, regardless of all that, I'm also torn about what sort of place I want here. This is where I'm torn. I want an apartment that is super my taste, my style, wooden beams, character, charm, with wood that feels very homey. That's very me. Like my house in Connecticut is very me and my style. But then part of me is like, should I just get a apartment in a more modern building with a doorman, the place I can park my car, that I can kind of come in and out of? Like it's a hotel room, but it's not. This building that I'm going to look at today. I've actually known a few people who have lived in this building and they've absolutely loved it. It's kind of like a full service building. It's kind of like a hotel, but it's apartments. But it's modern. It's very modern. You'll see. But it's very safe. It's in a great location. It's close to where Tommy would train for tennis. I've said this before, but Tommy can actually train here more than he can in Connecticut. So when Tommy can stay here, it's like closer to his training. It's very central. It's very safe. It would be very easy. I wouldn't have to like furnish it like crazy, but it's modern and I'm just kind of torn. Some of you might know what our office looks like that we're moving into in a week or so. It's this beautiful big space with these huge windows and we're making the office very like my style. We're doing a lot of wood, a lot of antiques. It's going to be very Dairy Boy vibes. So I'm like, okay, well, the office is really my taste and like, does it matter if my apartment is just like clean and modern? And it's very nice, but it's just not like my sort of like, I wouldn't buy the apartment. You know, it's not like 100% my taste, but that might make me feel less pressure to like make it feel like home and it might make me feel less pressure to like have to furnish it like crazy. Like I'd probably just get like a bed and a couch and a rug and call it a day. I could definitely still make it cute. Let me know what you guys think or I would just love like your two cents on what you guys think. So the people in my life are really torn about it too. Like no one's giving me like a 100% answer. My mom's obviously saying for me to do a doorman building because she's a mom, you know, but I'm not sure what to do, but we're going to head there now. I got my favorite tea from Sun Life, the turmeric tea. I'm going to go run and see that apartment viewing and then we are heading today to our shoot location and I cannot wait to show you guys this house that we rented for the shoot. It's just incredible. But I need to go run. We'll bring you guys along with me. Okay guys just got back from the showing that I went to. So we can do a little debrief on that apartment building in a second. The unit was really gorgeous even though modern is not my style. I cannot deny that it was gorgeous and the building's amenities were beyond. I actually couldn't film in the like gym and the like tennis courts and like all that because security reasons, which isn't a bad thing. I totally understand that, but let's do like a full debrief. I ordered lunch. We can chat about the apartment. I just have a quick call. I just have a quick interview right now with a very, very cool publication. I never know if I can share like who I'm talking to with the interviews. I'll ask my public assistant and I need to pack up and we're gonna head out to San Yanez. I feel like that's not how you say it. San Tanez. I was so wrong. Santa Yanez. Santa Yanez. Santa Yanez. I totally messed that up. Santa Yanez. Okay I have two minutes until my call so I have a second to talk to you guys about the apartment that I just viewed. I'm thinking it could be right for me. I was kind of debriefing with my mom after I viewed the apartment and she was saying and I didn't tell her this. Worried about me getting the townhouse that I viewed yesterday and being like, Paige you're gonna try to make this feel like home. Like she knows me really well and obviously when you get like a townhouse style, home style place, you wanna make it feel like home. And I just feel like it's literally this place that I just looked at is literally a hotel that I can leave stuff at. And the fact that there is like security and a doorman and I can keep my car there. The amenities are really nice. Packages will be safe. But some thinking that I might move forward with that apartment that I just went and saw. So we'll see. I will keep you guys updated. I would still love your opinion on it though. So let me know what you think. Hi. Hey. You hear me? Yeah. Wait, I was just saying to my vlog I needed to ask you this. When I do interviews like this, am I allowed to share who I'm talking to or is it like better to be a secret? Yeah, you can share the publications. I wanna share the editor's name probably, but publication's fine. It's with business of fashion. I was like, I don't know if I'm allowed to say it. Hi vlog. Hi vlog. Your hair looks so good, I'm obsessed. Wait, thank you. You're so sweet. I love it. I love the darker. Yeah, I feel like it needed to happen. Hi. Hi. Okay, just got off my call. Sorry, there's no light in here, guys. It's really dark in LA right now because of the rain. But I ordered a new kitchen again. I got the salmon bowl and I got the chicken chopped salad again because it was so good yesterday. Morning vlog. I just finished getting ready for the shoot today. I don't know how much I can show you, which is kind of annoying. I'm sorry about that, but I do want it to be exciting. We have a few products that we're shooting. I'm really excited. We're gonna do some outside, some inside. The house is so cute and we have a model here. I'll show you guys as much as I can today. We just finished the shoot and it was a really long day, but it went so well. I'm literally so excited to show you guys the photos from the shoot. I really wanted to introduce you guys to my team today. I'm gonna post it on the Instagram on the way home. A few people aren't here. We're carpooling with Justin on the way back. So I'll introduce you guys to Justin, who has come on board the Dairy Boy team to help out. He's been amazing. And Moa, you may have seen it a few videos here and there. She is just like the sweetest angel and she's amazing and so creative. She's on the marketing creative strategy team for Dairy Boy. That was a really unique role to hire for because there are so many amazing creative people, but the person that I hired in that position had to be so authentically Dairy Boy and kind of already live her life that way. So it felt very organic for the brand and she is just perfect. She's from Sweden. She's amazing. She's sweet. She's smart. She's creative. She draws. She's just like the cutest, sweetest, most hardworking girl. I'm very, very grateful to have her. I'll introduce you guys to her quickly, maybe before we go. And then I'll do a proper intro. You guys should follow Dairy Boy on TikTok. We have never been on TikTok, which is crazy. But when we move into our new office, I'm going to really get involved in the TikTok and do a lot of behind the scenes. And we're just going to fully dive into the TikTok, which I'm really excited about. But yeah, Liv, Justin, and Moa and the photographer and the model were the only people here today from the team. But it was so fun. But anyways, before I introduce you guys to Justin, I'll give you guys a little background. I've known Justin for many years, and he owns a clothing brand called Elwood, which some of you guys might know. He also works a lot with Walmart, and he just has a ton of experience in the industry. I basically hired him to help me run and scale the business and make really high-quality products and just help me with the business side of things. I really do not have much experience besides what I've learned with the business side of things and hiring someone who has already done it really well with really high-quality goods has been so helpful for my brand. And it's just really fun to work with other creative people. He's also just become like a close friend over the years. I am wearing this robe home because I'm literally so cozy in it. I literally just got it from Barefoot Dreams. We're actually sampling a robe right now, so I kind of want to be like testing all the robes. You're just talking about you. Hello. Hello. Say hi. How are we? Are you camera shy? Yeah. I'm not good at it. You feel like that went well, did I? Mm-hmm. I thought that was great. Great first shoot as a team. Yeah. Good teamwork. Good teamwork. We're a good team. Yeah, we do. We're lucky. Moa, come here. Bye, it was so nice to meet you. We'll be in touch. Thank you. Moa, come say hi to the vlog. Oh, but you're wearing all of them. I love you, my sweet angel. You're like, hi, hi, I can't see. Good morning vlog. Guys, it is finally sunny in Los Angeles and thank God. But anyways, I just wanted to say hi to the vlog. I just got ready to head out to work and I'm going to run some errands before I head out. But yeah, I think this is going to be the last day of this vlog. I think I'm going to finish it out before the weekend because I don't really know my weekend plan. I kind of need to decide what I'm doing because I don't think I'm going to go to the Super Bowl. I'm kind of torn, but I don't think I want to go. Okay, so I'm going to go to the RealReal first to go look for a new tote bag for traveling and for work. So I got this bag this summer, which is literally one of my favorite purses that I own. Bottega is definitely my favorite designer brand. My wallet is from them. I love how it's not branded and I love how it's leather and I love how it has gold detailing. I just love it, but of course, it is literally the most expensive by far. Like it's literally so expensive. It's out of control how expensive it is. So that's sickening, but love this, but it's not big enough for all of my stuff, especially my cameras. Like this is cute for not work. I wish that this was bigger. I think they do have a bigger one, but like, I don't know. I'm going to use this Airwan bag today so I can transfer all of my stuff, hopefully once I get a new bag. And if not, I'll just keep using this one until I find one that I like. So yeah, I'm going to head to the RealReal now and look for a tote bag. I just got back home. I went to Airwan. Maybe I'll do a little haul for you guys. I got some soup. I got two different kinds of soup. I got a lentil soup and a chicken noodle soup. And then I got a dinner plate, which was like just full of veggies. I got green beans, Brussels sprouts, and mac and cheese. Got a huge water. Their water is really, really good. I got some oranges, some shampoo and conditioner, a little baguette for my soup. And then the other kind of random thing that I got was this Wella skin food. I've seen it on TikTok and I wanted to try it. But I'm gonna probably watch something and eat this food and or FaceTime Tommy. I had a really good day today and the whole trip to LA has been great. But I felt like today, I felt the most like truly grateful for how blessed I am to be in the situation that I am creating and designing and working with so many amazing women who I would have not met if it wasn't for this experience. And they've become good friends of mine and I just adore them. And this whole chapter of my life, really working with a team, I feel like it's not been that long, has really just been really important for me. I think it's really important for me with this job being social media. And it's affected me differently throughout my life, being on social media, but this new chapter really working with people and me depending on them and then depending on me and working in person and touching and feeling fabrics and collaborating in person has just been a really important experience for me. And I'm just so grateful. I don't know, like I say I'm grateful a lot, but I really felt like I needed this. I felt like it feels so fulfilling. I kind of can't believe that this is my life and that this is my brand and that I own it and that I get to create things that I love for people that I love for you guys to feel confident and good. And it's pretty incredible and I'm just feeling extra grateful today. So yeah, I have to say, I am feeling like a bit lonely staying in a hotel for so long in LA specifically. Well, you can feel very, very lonely because of how large it is and you have to drive everywhere. I just feel like very disconnected from my friends and the people around me and obviously staying in a hotel room is not the best, especially because I'm alone. I do think that I won't feel as lonely. I'll obviously still be alone a majority of the time when I'm here because Tommy travels so much for tennis and has to be in Florida for training. He'll be able to be in LA a little bit, but not a ton. I'll still be alone, but I think if I have my own place and just being able to cook and it's like my own bedsheets and my own space, I think I'll feel better, you know. So yeah, I'm probably gonna sign off in this vlog now. Since I decided to not go to the Super Bowl, I have this weekend open. So I need to decide what I'm doing. I'm either gonna fly to Dallas to see Tommy play last minute and then probably have to come back or I'm gonna go to Connecticut and then I don't know, guys. I really don't know what I'm gonna do. I think it's gonna depend a lot on if I get that apartment in LA. Also, if Tommy's in the finals in Dallas, I'll probably definitely go to Dallas to see him. I'll give you guys posted. I love you guys.
