 Welcome back to apples and tiaras. So today is Sunday and I wanted to vlog a little bit today to just kind of show you guys how I prep for the week food wise. So I'm just in the kitchen the boys are over there playing and I just wanted to show you what I'm prepping for this week's meals. So I am peeling and slicing some cucumbers. I'm also washing strawberries and blueberries. I'm gonna do my best to be bright this week which just means that I'm back to bright line eating. There's a video all about my bright line eating journey and I will just link it right here in this video so you guys can check that out if you have questions about what bright line eating is. But basically I'm going to be having two servings of vegetables per day and two servings of fruit per day. So I'm just trying to like pre-cut and slice and portion all of that so that in the mornings when I'm getting ready for work I can just kind of like grab a bag of fruit and veggies and I don't have to worry about pre-cutting any of that while I'm at school because believe it or not sitting there and cutting a cucumber up at school just steals like five minutes of my time and all of my time is crucial when I'm at work. So anyway that's what we're working on today and then I will show you guys what I usually eat for lunch when I'm at work and yeah so let's get to it. Eating the idea is to have six ounces of vegetables per serving so I'm supposed to be having six ounces of veggies for lunch and six ounces of veggies for dinner and then I have six ounces of fruit for breakfast and six ounces of fruit for lunch. So I need to have two portions of each a day. So what I'm gonna do is just weigh my cucumbers out on my little scale and then I'm gonna put them in little baggies so that in the morning I can just grab a bag and throw it in my lunchbox. In process except this time I'm gonna chop up and portion out some bell pepper. I really like to eat bell pepper with like a cheese dip or some sort of like cheesy thing so I'll kind of show you guys for lunches and breakfast it's kind of just depends on how I'm feeling for the day but like for lunch I could have I usually do like my cucumbers with goat cheese and this acts as my protein and my fat so I'll just measure out technically this whole thing is like four ounces so I could eat this entire thing for lunch this is my protein and then I also like to get the boar skin cheeses these are like fine herbs and garlic and again this is like five ounces so I could eat almost this entire thing with like my bell peppers I just kind of like smear the cheese inside of my bell pepper and then that's my lunch and then I would have fruit I also really like this buffalo chicken dip from Trader Joe's and again I'll just dip my veggie in the dip and then that's my whole lunch we also really like the spinach artichoke artichoke dips spinach or sorry artichoke jalapeno dip you could do cream cheese the same kind of thing so I utilize a cheese or the cheesy dip as my protein for my lunch and that way I'm not just eating like chicken and rice and veggies all the time and I don't get bored and it makes it a way easier for me to lose weight because I'm actually eating things that I really like and it's more of like a snack than it is a meal so I'm gonna do the same process now for my bell pepper let's see one two I have about two days worth of veggies at this point but I'm not gonna go buy more until I for sure eat through these I can always run to the store halfway through the week I also have some broccoli in there that I can cook up and dip in like I can also dip broccoli in here and it would probably taste delicious so I'm gonna go ahead and move on to the fruit and then put it on the fridge favorite fruit to eat throughout the week I'll eat them if they're like the only thing available but we're not my favorite fruit pop and bottle vanilla milk lattes with collagen we got them at Aldi it looks pretty good there's 80 milligrams of caffeine in it since it's 2 o'clock I think will be okay problem is there are eight grams of sugar in this so if I'm gonna be bright I can't drink this after I'm being bright so I'm gonna taste it today that way tomorrow when I start being bright again I can be on track see if it's any good you did they make collagen a lot of you makes a collagen now okay it's really good what are you boys up to thank our wash you're gonna need some other water now hot enough so since we're here a ton of you have been asking about an update on the house and so I'll just kind of show you guys around what is still kind of going on here so we obviously have like a lot of boxes that are still out because we don't have a full entertainment center like we used to have our entertainment center before had a lot of storage and a lot of those boxes had everything in our entertainment center inside of it and so right now our entertainment center looks like this it's in the process Scott and a friend are actually building it so we have an electric fireplace that does act as a space heater and then we plan on putting what and just a minute we plan on installing these bookshelves and cabinets with some trim around it so that it all looks like it's built in and then painting the middle I don't know what color yet we're thinking a couple different colors something to go really well with this rug which is from well woven by the way but a lot of the other stuff that we still need to do is like the painters have to come back and touch up a lot of things because they painted around like you can kind of still see the nails there those aren't actually nails that's just where they sprayed over the top of the nails and when we remove them it's the old color so but we don't have baseboards either and our blinds are not hung because they have to come and touch up the paint what is up with the you see those marks up there oh wow well that's great so yes we're just waiting on that kind of stuff we still need like the sides of our cabinets put back on like you can see that cabinet right there doesn't have like the side panel put on it and then the bathroom has the same problem there's no side panels our footings are not on our cabinet so like the little footing pieces are not on there yet there's still a lot of like drywall patching that needs to happen like this has to be redone and then like around the door still needs to be redone no trim in here and then all of the like trim around all of the doors has to be redone and replaced but there is a lot of like back-ordered supplies so like all of our doors we we went ahead and hung them because we are still living in here and so they're gonna have to still like put all the trims back on all the doors and same thing in here like these are our cabinet sides those have to go on so not a ton ton of work needs to be done in the house as of right now just honestly like we haven't hung anything we haven't really decorated because everything is gonna have to be moved off of the walls when they come to do the trim must be three o'clock so like in here this is my office and second guest room we have to take some stuff down and like there's a lot of stuff to hang up but it is livable and it is a lot more comfortable than the hotel was so we're perfectly content living here with it being like that but anyways so I think what I'm gonna do next while the boys are playing is I'm gonna sit down and edit a vlog from last week I did vlog a couple of days last week so I have a little one to film and then schedule and then if I have time I might sit down and edit this vlog but I do need to put some laundry away and and then I'll be kind of done with my like Sunday chores so yeah I'm gonna at least take it into my bedroom and put it on the bed lay it out flat do a little Amazon haul for you guys so I had to reorder a couple of things that I've been loving so I use the youth range facial stuff and I actually get this on Amazon it started out with me doing a couple of posts for them for like trying out the product and sharing it and I actually fell in love with this stuff and it's been doing really good for my face so this is the vitamin C facial cleanser it's made with aloe vera green tea and seaweed and then we have the anti-aging super serum I haven't tried this one yet I've been using the I've been using the retinol serum but I wanted to give something else a try so this has pretty much everything in here except for the retinol and then I bought this super berry dream cleansing balm I wanted to have something to take my makeup off with that I didn't have to double dose my cleanser because what I was doing was I was washing my face twice with the cleanser not this one specifically but like my other facial cleanser and I was just going through it so quickly because I had to do one layer to get my makeup off and then another layer to cleanse my face so I got this one just to be a makeup remover so it is made with prickly pear hydrolonic acid is a flash melting formula that's supposed to remove makeup cleansing balm I know you can't really read that but all of these items were around $20 so looking right here is about a hundred bucks which is insane to me just this is a hundred dollars they really jack the price up on my favorite makeup which is the super bb positions formula bb powder but I love this stuff it's actually all that I'm wearing today and I really like it for like everyday makeup for work and just when I'm not trying to be full glam so anyway all of this was like a hundred dollars this was like 25 25 25 and this was like 16 so with tax and everything but I'll let you guys know if I like this we'll see I wonder if it smells good it sort of has like a lemon scent so that's better than a poke in the eye it's not bad oh also another house update they ended up putting they weren't gonna actually put any new floors in our master bathroom or a laundry room but when the people came in to remove items from our home they actually ended up damaging the tile in the laundry room and in here when they were doing like the dryout and everything so we ended up getting new floors in our master and in our laundry room and so these are the same floors that go throughout the house but we weren't gonna have that before so it was kind of like a super nice surprise here's like another upgrade for your house we did get new furniture for our master bedroom I don't think I've showed you guys this before you'll just have to ignore like all of the Amazon boxes and stuff but this is the Ray Lynn range from Ashley home furniture and it's beautiful I love it it really makes the room look nice and we have the chest of drawers and the nightstands and then we also have the dresser so it really does make the room look complete and we have the mirror that we've had forever but it is really beautiful so once the people come to do our trim like we have some in here but it has to be redone anyway because it got destroyed when they were doing the renovations so like you can see that's kind of like broken off but they're gonna have to rip all of it off anyway once we get all of the trim installed and the paint touched up then we'll start hanging things up like we have pictures and stuff nothing is actually hung up in the house at all minus like a few little things that are on walls that don't really matter so anyway that is kind of like a house update and yeah
