 I'm really so busy, I was like what in formation? Okay guys, so me and Madison are at Savon right now at the grocery store and we're just about to go in to get some ingredients because first of all, we wanna make this pesto pasta thing for dinner tonight and second of all, I really wanna make gingerbread cookies and decorate them. I don't think I'm gonna be able to decorate them tonight because I'm going to like this work Christmas party thing for Oasis but I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna make the dough so that I can like cook them and decorate them tomorrow or within the next few days because the dough needs to be like chilled anyway so I don't really have time to wait for that so I'm just gonna go get like monalasis and all that stuff but yeah, I haven't made gingerbread. Oh, I need the cutout too, I didn't even realize that. Hopefully they have cutouts. Actually it's fine if they don't cause I can just get them tomorrow but yeah, maybe I'll just make the dough today and then do them tomorrow. I found this really cute inspo pic on pictures that I wanna like that gave me inspiration for this and yeah, I haven't made gingerbread cookies for so long and Joel's literally obsessed with gingerbread, like he literally loves it. Yeah, he ate my gingerbread house. Yeah, he literally ate the gingerbread house that we made. That I made. That Mavison did a more eaten, yeah. So I'm gonna make him some gingerbread cookies so he can stay away from the rest of the house. Anyway, so we're gonna go grocery shopping. Also, it's sunny today. The weather has been so weird. It's been like snowy, sunny, snow melts, I don't know. It's really weird and bipolar but anyways. Let's go. Currently trying to find the molasses. I have no idea where I would find that. I don't think I've ever used molasses, like I've never made gingerbread from scratch before. So this is my first time. This is my first rodeo, you guys. But I have no idea where to even start looking. I remember the baking aisle and I have no idea where the molasses would be, huh? Yeah, unfortunately they don't have the gingerbread man cut out but I feel like this one is sold out everywhere, which is not fun. Maybe they'll have it at the dollar store, I'll look tomorrow. Okay. So this is what they have. But this is like not Christmasy, you know? This is just like heart and it's just like regular cookie cutouts. They'll probably have it at the dollar store so I'll be Gucci. Okay, update Madison Pound's molasses. I don't know if this is the right one but it says cooking so it should, oh God. What? How did that happen? I can put all the heavy stuff on that but. So I don't know if this is the right one but we're just gonna go with it because it says cooking so I'm just gonna trust that this is the right one. So there's like three different types but whatever. Okay, so here's what we made for dinner. This is literally the best, it's cold, but it's the best like pasta, I guess you can call it like a pasta salad. So basically what it is is we put homemade pesto with arugula mixed in with chickpeas, tomatoes, and shrimp and it is literally the best thing ever. It's honestly pretty easy to make but you have to make it with homemade pesto or it'll be like a really good pesto where else it won't taste like the same but it is literally one of my favorite dishes ever. It's so good and it's super easy to make and healthy. Hey guys, so I'm currently doing my makeup because I'm going to like I said before the Christmas party that the company that I work for is having. So I'm just getting ready, we're going to be leaving in about 45 minutes. So I'm just going to do like a light, you know, my everyday look. Honestly, I'm not going to do anything special because never I go above and beyond with my makeup. Like if I ever want to do something like eyeshadow or you know what I mean? Like anything that's like a step up from what I do every day, it like stresses me out and it takes me 10 times longer to do my makeup than it should. So we're just sticking to the basis that I always do. I've been really loving this merit. It's like a foundation stick but it's not a high coverage foundation at all. It's honestly like really just like sheer and I honestly love it. This is their brush as well. Like I love, I love their beauty. I'm just buffing it with a brush. I've honestly been really into using brushes lately as opposed to like a beauty blender because my beauty blender is kind of getting really nasty. Like I need a new one, but I really like my beauty blender right now is orange and I really want to get a black one just because like I feel like when you have a black beauty blender it doesn't like get as dirty or at least you can't see the dirt at all because like my orange one looks so nasty. Anyways, so I actually didn't have time to make the gingerbread cookies because we came home from Savon and then after that we made dinner and then now like I already have the handy. Honestly, time flies by so fast. I thought I would have time to make the dough but I don't so I'm either honestly I might make it when I get home tonight. If I don't get home too late then honestly I'm probably gonna be too lazy to do it tonight. So maybe if I do it tomorrow morning like I'll wake up early, make the dough and then I'll chill it and then I'll go out get the cookie cutters and yeah. Anyways, honestly today like I'm being completely honest I was not feeling it. I'm getting my period in a couple of days. I'm not exactly sure when it's gonna come but I have like the pre-symptoms and I've never gotten like symptoms bleeding up to it this bad. Like I'm not even kidding you. I woke up and I felt fine but then as soon as I got out of bed and went downstairs I just like was not feeling good. Like I've never felt this feeling before as it was horrible. And I was like, I'm sure to like my period but it didn't even come yet. So I'm just like, what the hell? So that really sucked. And I just like had to like lay down because I was not like I was feeling just really weird. Like I don't know how to describe it. It was like really painful but not like my usual period perhaps. It felt like I don't even know. You don't understand if you've like felt it before but it was just like not fun at all. So I didn't really do much today. Like I went to the grocery store pretty late because I just was not feeling good. I just realized like I honestly like don't go out anymore like at all. And I was like, why don't I like and I don't even like if you guys noticed that I don't really hang out with any of my friends because to be honest like I don't really have like dare I say any friends that I hang out with on a day to day basis. Like I have like a couple close friends and that's it. Like I have like a lot of people that I know and that like I'm friends with but like not close friends where like we would hang out. So it's like, I don't know like the only friends that I have honestly they're busy and they're in school like the two friends. And like that like literally leaves me with nobody to hang out with to be honest. Like literally, like I'm not saying this in a bad thing like I'm just like stating facts here. Like I haven't hung out with a friend like outside of like sad and stuff for like the long time. Like I don't even remember when the last time was. So if you guys have noticed I'm always with like my sisters or like just alone or with Joel. It's because I literally don't have like any other friends to hang out with on a day to day basis and stuff. Which is fine. You know, ever since I started working out I mean working on set it's been like fun to like talk to more people and like make more friends. But it's like those types of relationships. It's like you don't, it's just like your friends but you don't actually like it's not like a close friend where you like you hang out with who you hang out with every day. So yeah, I just wanna normalize that like just because you don't have a lot of friends doesn't mean that it's a bad thing. It's like it's okay. Like I'm honestly don't mind it because like I love working on myself and I love focusing my energy on myself as well and like putting it like into my work and focusing like on the grind, you know? So like I have no problem with it but yeah, I just wanted to talk about that like not having a lot of friends, it's okay. Like that's normalize that. No friend gang or I shouldn't say I have no friends but barely any friend gang. So yeah, if you guys have noticed in the blog that like I don't really hang out with anybody because like I don't have friends. So there's your answer. So I just wanted to quickly talk about this Netflix series that I finished a bit about actually and it's called made like M-A-I-D to not like M-A-D like it's a made and it is so like I really enjoyed it. I feel like it's not like the type of show that's for everyone because it's like I don't even know how to explain like the genre of it but it's very like heartfelt. Like it's a basically like the storyline is about a young mom who has a young child and she's trying to get herself out of like an emotionally abusive relationship and it's so good. And like she's also broke. So it's like a journey. Like it takes you along her journey and it's like it made me cry at the end. Like so like like heart wrenching. I love it. Like it was such a good series. Like I couldn't stop watching it. So if you guys are looking for a new series to watch on Netflix, you should watch it. Also the girl in it is such a good actress. The girl, Alex and her mom are actually like mother and daughter in real life, which is crazy. And they play mother and daughter in the show. So I actually had no idea until after I watched it and then like I was watching interviews and stuff and then I found that out and I'm like, that's crazy. You guys are looking for a new Netflix show to watch 100% recommend. Okay, I think, what time is it? Oh God, we gotta leave soon. Shit, Joel's gonna be back. So if you guys didn't know me and Joel actually like, well, okay, I do video editing for them. They're called Oasis Adaptogens. You guys should go check them out. So I actually video edit for them and Joel like actually like hands on like works for the company. Yeah, so contact. Anyways, I've been talking way too much. So I'm just gonna time lapse the rest of my makeup because I've been getting comments like you talk a lot and it's like girl, if you don't wanna watch me then don't watch me. You can also put my videos in two times speed. My hair is honestly like kind of greasy and I went dry shampoo but Madison literally goes through a bottle a day of dry shampoo and uses the whole bottle. I bought a bottle for myself because I was like, I don't wanna touch it because she literally uses dry shampoo like water. So I was like, I don't wanna touch the bottle. So I bought my own bottle, put it in the bottom of my counter and like, okay, this is my bottle. Like she's not gonna touch it. I can like whenever I bought a bottle of dry shampoo it'll last me like a long time because like I don't use it that often and like, you know, it lasts me a long time. And so then one day I go to use my bottle of dry shampoo and I'm like, where did it go? And it turns out Madison used the rest of it. The rest, it was like a quarter of a bottle left. Like there was some good amount left that could last me a couple of, a few days and she used it all. She's literally a dry shampoo quarter. Like I'm not even kidding you. And I don't think it's normal to go through dry shampoo the way that she does. It's definitely not normal because I know that she has like, she has like naturally really like silky like, silly care and gets greasy fast. But like, girl, please do not touch my dry shampoo. Anyways, yeah, we're literally out. So I'm just gonna have to deal with my greasy. I have like a tiny bottle but I don't like using this one because I don't like to save it for winter. Okay, that'll do the trick hopefully. Anyways, I'm gonna wash my hair tonight. So whatever, but okay. Okay, makeup done. Okay, I'm gonna go running out of time. Let's do a little baby wipe on my picks. Get some deodorant and then we're gonna pick out an outfit. I have no idea what I'm going to wear yet. Wipe that sweat off. Beautiful. Pits are washed. Okay, time to pick in and out. Okay, so here's the fit that I decided on. I'm just wearing Princess Polly. These are like one of my favorite pairs of pants. They're just like really comfy but really cute. And then this is just a white basic turtleneck and it has like an open back which is so cute. And then just see Red Sea Puffer over top because it is a little laterly freezing outside. I'm honestly pretty sure it's gonna snow tonight. So that would be cute. So I hope it does. And then we have this Madsen's purse that I've been wearing every day. She thrifted it, I'm obsessed with this. So I literally steal it from her. And that's a little fit. Let's go. I'm in the fridge and it has a chill in the fridge for three hours. So that's why I did it like first thing in the morning. And now I'm just gonna go get tested and then I'm gonna come back and shower and then I'm gonna bake the cookies. And yeah, on the way home I'm getting gingerbread men cutouts because they don't have any. So I'm gonna stop get that in icing also. So I can't wait to make them. It's also snowing. So it's a vibe right now. Anyways, I'm driving. So I will see you guys later. Cookies cutouts. These are so cute. This is literally perfect. And they're only $3. I'm so excited. I still have to stop at the store to get icing, but these are so clutch. So I'm thinking while I'm here I should probably get the snowman and the snowflakes. So I wanna make sure for cookies eventually with me and my cousin wanna do it. So, might as well just pick them all about once because I feel like I'm gonna use them anyway. So, yay. I feel like last time I couldn't find any cutouts. So this is so nice. You guys, the dollar store was literally so busy. I was like, what in Tarnation is happening? Like there was just people everywhere. Like the checkout line was actually long. And I was like, what, what? Okay. Now I just have to stop at the grocery store. Why is the lighting like this to get the icing and then we're Gucci to go home and bake the cookies. I'm so excited. Okay, so here's everything that I got from the dollar store. I got these cute little boxes. So if I wanna bring some cookies because we're going to Joel's tonight for his sister's birthday. So I'm gonna bring some cookies and I decided to get these little boxes for if I ever wanna give anyone else some cookies because they're so cute. And then I got the gingerbread man. I got randomly just some like stickers to put on gifts because I don't think we have any right now at home. So just got these. And then I got some snowflakes, snowman. Then from the grocery store, this is what I got. This cookie icing and it's just white. And it has like a tiny like tip to like make little designs and stuff. So this is perfect. And we're gonna bake them right now. Okay, so I just took the dough out of the fridge and there's like one more of these in there. So it says to like put some flour on the counter. And I'm also gonna be using the medium size because there's large, medium and then small. So I wanna make them all the same size or else they're not gonna like cook evenly and it's gonna be harder. So I'm just gonna do one size. And I gotta roll it out to a quarter inch. I have no idea what that looks like but we're just gonna guess. I have no idea how many cookies this even makes. So we're in for a surprise. This side looks more like quarter inch. Just so cute. Okay, got the first batch done. We made them about half, I mean a quarter inch and we still have this to do but I think I'm gonna get these in the oven first and see how they cook. They're ready. So cute, oh my God. Oh my God, look at these things. These are those stupid stuff. Yeah, you're welcome to the batch. Oh my God. So cute. Okay, so my hair kind of dried because I was just doing my makeup because I have to leave soon because we're going to Joel's house for dinner. And I'm going to decorate the cookies now. They're out of the oven and they're like cool. So we're gonna decorate them now. This is my inspiration pick. So I just bought white icing like I said. So I'm just going to do like a really simple. It's going to be like really easy. So it's not going to take me long. So yeah, I think these are so cute and it's going to be fast. Okay, so here are the final gingerbread men and women. How cute are they? I just had the time to do these six because these are the ones that I'm going to be bringing to Joel's and I still have honestly so many to decorate so I think I'm just going to do these tomorrow. Actually, I might not have time tomorrow but tomorrow or Saturday. But yeah, I'm definitely going to do them all just don't have time today. But yeah, I honestly love the way they turned out. They're so adorable. I will link the recipe that I used down below. I've never really made gingerbread before but I tasted this one and it's really good. So if you guys want to try it out then I'll have a link down below. And the only thing that I substituted like in the recipe was instead of putting real butter I substituted it for vegan butter but that's all that I changed. So yeah, so cute. So this is the box that I got from the dollar store. I just like assembled it. It kind of reminds me of a 10 bits box. It's just funny. I don't know if this is going to be big enough but we're going to try. I think this is like the smallest size actually that can like pack of boxes. They fit perfectly. How cute. So I picked up this little wine glass a while ago. I saw it at chapters and to go and I thought it was perfect for Joel's sister because it's her birthday. If I didn't mention that already. And she's a nurse and this says because work. So I think this is like literally perfect and it's so cute. So perfect little gift. I'm just going to wrap it right now. We don't have anything except for Christmas paper wrapping. So this will have to do. But honestly, this is not too Christmasy. It kind of looks kind of looks like a mix between birthday and Christmas. So it's perfect. Okay. Okay guys. So we just left the house and I just tried one of the gingerbread cookies and they're so good. Joel tried one too. Joel, what do you think? I don't think I'm going to make it. I don't think they're really good. They're so good. So I'm going to end off the vlog here because I'm going to be starting a new vlog like tomorrow. Yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed.
