 Hey, all welcome to a new vlog. Today, we're going to do a lot of just random home things that I wanted to take you guys long. We were finally starting to plant some stuff in the backyard and I'm so excited about this. A lot of the seeds and bulbs that I got said to plant after the last frost. And I'm still really confused about the whole thing and it's all gonna be trial and error. So if you see me doing something wrong, I'll definitely be learning lessons. So feel free to give me advice. And I know I'm planting late, I feel like, for a lot of the things, but I'm just gonna do it anyways because I bought it and I'm just really excited about it. So I'm just gonna kind of try everything and kind of take notes on what grows well, what doesn't and all the things. I don't think I vlogged it actually, but Ryan made me some raised beds in the backyard. We actually just got back from Home Depot and got a bunch more plants. Like I really need to be stopped, but I'll try to do like a little plant haul. Such a pretty day. And I just saw that part of the fence is like breaking which we need to get a new fence. We really just need to like bite the bullet and do it. We've actually gotten a couple of quotes. So just us kind of pulling the trigger on it, but let me show you guys the raised beds over here. So we actually like scraped around, but then we read the directions and it said to plant like later. So obviously grass grew back, so we're gonna have to scrape it again, which honestly it was kind of hard. Like it was definitely harder than I thought it would be. And then over here, we have the Amazon raised bed, which I can link for you guys. I'm gonna do herbs in this one so that I can literally just raise the window and like get mint or a vegan or whatever I want for my cooking. And we got a dolly because we need to finally get the laundry room done. I'm not really sure if we'll have time or energy to do it today. We're gonna need this to get the washer and dryer out so we can do the peel and stick tile, but we got some soil. And yeah, I think we're ready to garden. It's all starting off with my favorite one that we got. We got a peach tree and it already has some flowers on it. It's kind of tough to get it here in the car, but we did it. So I'm excited to plant that. You and your cowboy hat and me. Oh, okay. And me and my Texas hat and the Cova is like, want the world, what are we doing? And playing the morgues. I also got this gardenia plant. This reminds me of childhood because I feel like my mom used to love having these in her garden or like just around the house and it smells so freaking good. What is this? I got a jalapeno. I got some tomatoes and tomatoes. I don't know what's this one. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know what that one is. Everything I've collected within the past month or so, we got some onions, garlic, lots of flowers. I'm so excited to grow flowers. Hopefully they all work out. Strawberries, peach tree of course. And I also have some herbs. I think they're in an Amazon package that I haven't opened. I think they just got here last night. It ain't much, but it's honest living. I was trying to get some topsoil. This grass already grew back from the last time we did it. I'm just digging it up a little bit and sticking this top layer off. I got it wet, so it'll be a little easier. I got these little label markers so that I know exactly what is where and what I'm growing, because I feel like I'm definitely gonna forget if I plant like every single thing that I have. Just so much comes with a ton of these little things. Finally, for the fun part, we're gonna actually plant the stuff. Still has the tag on it, but we're gonna go ahead and plant these dollas. I think I'm gonna plant them in the back since they'll probably grow pretty tall. I truly have no idea what I'm doing, so we don't take any tips from me, but we're gonna get started by digging holes. Is that deep enough? Place it up. We're Sophie. Should I? Cool. Now we're just gonna plant some of these zinnias right along this, because it's not bulbs, it's just steves. So, we're just gonna rake it. Just rake them like that. Box one complete, which was flowers. I do have more flowers to plant, but we'll stick to that for now. Now we're gonna plant some vegetables, tomatoes, garlic, onion, banana peppers. Let's do it. I'm not even gonna lie, I feel like we're cheating because we're using these from Home Depot, but whatever. We're gonna water these, and then put some topsoil on, water them again, so that hopefully it all kind of meshes together. We're gonna plant the peach tree now. That's like the official tree of Georgia, like there's all the peach tree roads and everything. We saw it at Home Depot, so we had to get it, and we're gonna plant it right here, hoping it's not too shady. All right, Sophie, you wanna help? I'm a country dog. I don't just pee on the concrete. You say, where's my water? Where's your water? It's outside right there. All right, now we're gonna do some herbs in this little planter over here. We have a lot of varieties to choose from. If there's room, we'll try to plant all of them, but we definitely want cilantro, mint, and basil. So it turns out I did have enough energy to finally knock out the laundry room floor. It's been unfinished ever since we did the wooden floors, because I knew I wanted to do something different in here. And then I found these peel and stick tiles from Amazon, and I thought they were perfect, even though I could have definitely just bought, you know, regular tiles. And it still would have been not too expensive, because it is a smaller space, but I honestly was just really intrigued and wanted to see if these worked, because if you have been following me for a while, I did peel and stick backsplash in my apartment. So I feel like I had it down, and this was a lot easier. Let me tell you, the only reason I didn't finish it today was because I ran out of tiles. I think if I didn't do it diagonal, I wouldn't have ran out, and it would have been a lot easier, but I thought it would just look a little bit better, especially because we have a nice view going in from the kitchen into the laundry room. So I did want to make it diagonal, just make it look a little bit more unique. I'm the type of person that doesn't really read directions, like I'll skim through them, but if they say, you know, try starting from the middle and then going out and like measure, I am not about that life. And obviously it can lead to some mistakes down the line, but that's just how I roll. And I think it turned out really, really good. The only thing I made sure to do was to put the white tiles all in the same direction. So you can kind of see the marbling. I tried to make them all face the same direction. I just did the easier part today, which is the middle, and then when I got more tiles later on, I had to cut everything. So that was a little bit harder, but it was still doable. It is 7pm and it's still light outside. Today was the day that our clock sprung forward, and I don't know how I feel about it to be honest. I was on such a roll with like waking up pretty early and going to the gym and stuff, and now I feel like it's going to be a struggle tomorrow morning, but we finished all of the planting. There are some flowers that I maybe want to plant in the front yard, but we ran out of soil, so we need to go get more. Herbs are in here, and then some fruit and vegetables and more flowers are over there. As you guys saw, I was doing some peel and stick tile over in the laundry room. Finally, you guys, I've had these peel and stick tiles purchased for a very long time, and we just needed to buy a dolly or rent a dolly from Home Depot. We just ended up buying one to get the laundry washer and dryer out of there. This is what it looks like right now. I didn't get to finish it because I did run out of tile. I think if I did it like this way, not diagonal, then I don't think I would have ran out. Since I did diagonal, there's going to be a lot more to cut, which I'm kind of wondering if I should just hire someone to do that, but cutting wasn't horrible, I guess. Plus, on this side, the washer and dryer is going to cover it, so I'm low-key not even wanting to do that stuff. I know you guys are probably like, no, finished the whole thing, but I don't know. It's not going to be seen, and unless we sell the house without the washer and dryer, no one's really going to be able to tell. Anyways, this is what it looks like, and I think it looks really freaking good. And then another home update. The reason why I wasn't talking on the camera when I was doing peel and stick tiles is because this was being built right over here by this guy named Brandon that actually remodeled our stairs. So let me know if you guys want his contact. But he built this IKEA thing. Basically, our cabinets are IKEA, and we just wanted more cabinetry to match because we're going to put this thing right over here, move the fridge over here. Why? I'm not really sure, but I wanted to. I don't know. Why are we doing that? Because I want to. I don't know. Now I'm confused, and that was not very cheap, so... Yeah, I do. I actually just thought about, like, that there's going to be probably a little gap. So I said he put cardboard underneath it. Oh, shit. I didn't think about that gap, right? Oh, wait, this side doesn't have that gap, though. Over here. Like, this is flush. Right here. Well, if that's going to have one here, then... What do you mean? Oh, the fridge? Like, that's more... I don't know. I feel like that's fine if a fridge has it. You know what I mean? This thing slides out of the way. What? Oh. I thought he said he... I thought it said he said it came with feet. Well, one thing I'm not confused about is that I know where we're going to go eat for once. We're going to try a new place called Muse Sushi. It's here in South Austin. It's like a casual sushi restaurant, but it looks pretty good, so I'll let you guys know how it is. We're in Target now, and look at this collab. Girl Scout cookies are native, and we just smelled the Samoas, and they've moved... coconut, caramel, whatever the... Oh, yeah. And that was pretty on point, but the admin was too much. The peanut butter was disgusting. You know what these smell like, right? Truffles. Tree foils. Okay, that one's good. The peanut butter one was disgusting. The peanut butter smelled like a candle that, like, would kill you. Yeah. I think I was just too strong. What? Let's have a look. I don't like it. Like, I think the first smell was horrible, but, like, it's fine now, but why do you want to smell the peanut butter? Maybe an interesting collab. I don't know. I just thought I'd share with you guys. Ryan, why are we coming to Target? Do you want to get press songs? No, because you wanted to pre-seize. Yeah, you wanted to pre-seize. You should be on my sushi. Okay, well, I'm going to be here. Do what? Looking at press songs. Okay. I don't know. I thought you were going to go get your Reese's, but I popped off all my press songs today. Look how freaking long my nails are. I'm kind of shocked, and they, like, feel strong too, but, you know, your girls got to have her nails did. I've officially gotten my friend on press songs, and one of my favorite brands is all of in June, but they don't really have, like, that many, like, neutral colors, like, every day. Like, they have some fun patterns, but they're just not my vibe, so I always go to, like, the one I usually get, but then these are the ones that I actually just popped off, which were super cute. But I think these are definitely more expensive. I remember paying, like, $15 for those. Oh, yeah. Interesting. They're two. Oh, they got more down here. Oh, I love. I'm not in the mood for, like, fun nails. Oh, wait, what's that? Oh, wait. It's, like, um, it's, like, a sticker that you put on your nails. Like, tortoise, though. It could be fun. I've always wanted to try OPI ones, but, again, like, why do they not have, like, everyday colors? Like, I literally just want, like, a cute, nude, pink color. Here's that, but this is, like, really short. Okay, I just turned around and I saw all of these all of the June ones, but, like, again, they're so fun that it's just, like, not my vibe right now. Like, there's a time and place for fun nails. And I just need some good, nude ones. Doing a little Sunday reset. We'll pick up, and I'm just putting away everything. And look at Sophie. I got this mini Kendra Scott tote bag and a whole bandana for her. And she's just such a bougie girl. Sophie! She had a bath today, too. She had a bath today. And she's so soft, and I actually trimmed her face. I've been trying to learn, so I don't want to go get her groomed. One bone, please. Just one bone. Two treats for me, that's all. I'm very excited because we are getting our kitchen up table tomorrow. I had yet to order chairs for it, because I kind of want to see it in person. It's about to me, so I really need to start looking for some chairs. But, yeah, we just got the house professionally cleaned this past week. And she did such an amazing job. When I tell you I almost cried walking into my closet because she just did some feng shui, and I just literally felt better about it. And she also hung up all of her clothes and did some of Ryan's laundry, which I did not realize she would do. Anyways, she was so good, and now our house is cluttered again. Like, I disappointed her, honestly. But anyways, we need that to get the heck out of here before like 9am, because that's when they're bringing the table. I'll probably post on like, next door neighbor to see if anyone can get it. But anyways, I'm just trying to pick everything up. Austin, Texas. I wish you might have a cool pad or something on it. Aw, you should have waited in line then. I was invited, I would have. Aw. I got him a hat at one of the South by Southwest events yesterday. Oh, what the Ryan. What the heck? Are you going to drink it or not? No, I feel like we need to keep this. This is a bowl bedazzled. Wait. There is water. What is going on? What the f- I don't know, like on a shelf somewhere. Anyways, that was crazy. But I was at a South by event and like, they were giving out these hats and patching them. But I like hid the hat I already got like in line so that they would give me another hat. And I only got one patched. And I kept it for myself because I did the hard work of waiting. If you have a slime edge in your suitcase and like it all dirty yeah Ryan does hate the way I just respect my hats. It's very OCD with them. You said yourself disrespect them. Well, that's why I don't have a designer purse and I know that, you know. So she was pretty good. We have different opinions on that. It was? Yeah, because we got so much. My thing is like when I try a new restaurant I try a lot of everything. So we kind of have eyes bigger than our stomachs. A sushi restaurant muse is very casual. So we're like literally dressed in sweatpants and you order on the QR code and then they just like bring it to the table. But it was a lot of like roles with a bunch of stuff on top like spicy mayo and like Misago all that kind of like very good like not junk food sushi, but you know just like the sushi that is not as like refreshing and like almost healthy. Which I used to love. But now I feel like I like the refreshing raw fish more and like less of all the stuff like on top of it. You could see in the video there were just like stacking like ingredients on top. Which again, it was still really good and I personally give it an 8.25. We were starting off strong with the drinks. The drinks were really good. I got this like leachie berry limeade thing or maybe it was just leachie berry, but it was very, very good. When he got tied to you. The nigiri was also pretty good, but Ryan also didn't like love it. Obviously it's not like super nice quality, but it's like you know, more affordable. So overall I would go back again. The Doloree guys are here for it, the kitchen nook table. So I'll show you guys what it looks like once it comes in. Alright here she is. Here's our gorgeous kitchen nook table. Look at all this detail. I think it is the same material as my desk, but it does look a little bit different. I actually like this a lot more than my desk. I feel like my desk is a little bit more pink toned, but it is perfect. The size is also perfect. I was maybe going to get a little bit bigger of a table, but I think it would have taken up a little too much room. This is the base. It's just kind of plain. It doesn't have like the marble texture on it. It is pretty heavy, but I had like one other person I could definitely pick it up and move it. But look how freaking cute it is. I think I filmed the last clip more than a week ago. I've been a little off my blogging game just because I've been trying to catch up with all the blogs I filmed and like editing them. And I'm currently in my busy season with photography grad season just started. So definitely been very consumed by that, but I obviously need to show you guys the updates to the kitchen nook because I actually got dining chairs. I bought them on Amazon. I really wanted something more unique and something I haven't really seen. I've seen just like a lot of like bigger plush dining room chairs. Also a lot of bucle but I think I've said this before I am really trying hard to not buy anything bucle because I just feel like it's on the tail end of the trend and I don't want to buy it like when it's ending, you know? So let me give you guys a full review. So this is what it looks like. First off the table is absolutely stunning and then let's talk about these chairs because these are so pretty. Like I said, I got them on Amazon and this material is not bucle. It's tweed and then this part is like bronze which I thought was kind of cool and then this is like a wood kind of texture. I feel like there's a lot of wood going on in my home. To be honest I was worried about it just like not matching the floor but I think it looks really good. I honestly thought the chairs would fill up the space a little bit more because the table isn't too big but I thought getting a bigger table would be too big. So what do you guys think I should do with this space to like fill it up more? We will be putting the fridge over there but I told you guys that already. Also now I can explain to you guys why I want the fridge over here. I originally forgot like why I even wanted to switch them but I remembered when I was editing my video. I could have gotten two sizes for this cabinet but I ended up choosing the taller one because if I chose shorter then it would have been like here on the cabinets and I thought that would have looked weird more storage the better. So this is really tall but then the fridge over here is short so I just thought maybe having the cabinet on this side would just make it look a little bit more seamless and I just feel like having the cabinet be flush would be better and if the fridge has a little bit of a gap like it wouldn't be weird. But right now as you can see there's like a little bit of a gap and I think it looks weird. Also this bridge sticks out right here. Like when we first toured the house we were like why is the fridge so freaking big like it's jutting out. But since this area isn't like in the kitchen where I'm like cooking really I feel like it will be fine if the fridge sticks out a little bit. Also we might be getting some new appliances like microwave, fridge and oven. We need to figure out logistically how we're going to get the appliances over here so basically my dad bought another property on 30A and he wants to get rid of the appliances there so he can upgrade them but they're really nice appliances already. He told me if I try to sell them like he's not even going to get that much money so he just give it to me as a housewarming gift. I was so excited at first because obviously just newer things would be nice but then he took a picture of them and they're so pretty. They're white. They have like gold accents. So if we paid for a mover to like come bring them out to us I think it would be worth it to like have upgraded appliances because we're not paying for the appliances. Like he's just going to get to us. So I'm really excited about that because then once we paint the cabinets like cream and everything it's going to look so good in here and I also want to add backslash. We got a quote to move the water line from the laundry to this so that we could put the fridge here so that's why Ryan was like why do we need to switch it again because the water line is over there and obviously that's added cost. Like when I have a vision in my head it just has to be done. Like it has to get done the way I vision it. Unless he presents me with an even better idea which that hasn't happened for this situation. So that is kind of the update on that and then the laundry room I finished it. Now whenever I'm vlogging in the kitchen you'll be able to see my beautiful floors that I did all by myself. I'm so proud of them and basically somebody told me that I needed self level but I think it was fine. Like I didn't do that obviously you guys saw in the clips I just kind of went for it and I didn't use glue. You could use glue but I just ended up not using glue. It did get kind of wonky over here but I cut all the pieces out. I actually finished everything and I don't know I'm like really proud of myself because I did it all by myself and look at that obviously we need to still put the base boards in here and it's going to look so good because over here as you can tell like I kind of messed up over here but we do have a couple more pieces so I could probably fix that if I really wanted to. I also didn't realize you would be able to see the side so I'm glad I did finish it up behind these during the bathroom renovations I had to buy a transition for the doorways so we bought one more so I could use half of it here and then half of it in the powder bathroom whenever we get to that so I'm not really sure how to cut it and install it so we're just going to leave that up to the pros whenever that happens and again the base board needs to get done. Also this is our pantry situation right now and it's really really bad but um my solution is you want to guess? Throw it all away. No! We're going to put like half of this stuff in that new cabin pantry because there's nothing in that right now and so it's just like so much more space for like random shit that I'm not really sure I'm going to use in my daily life. We have a running joke that I just buy too many like random little sauces. You know how many like frozen periods are things you could fit in here too? This is not a freezer but Ryan's going to get me an outdoor fridge when's that going to happen? It's going to go out. What? It's going to go out there. What do you mean? That one? Oh yeah I forgot we said that. We're doing a new freezer right? Yes I just told him that. Okay yeah so never mind so we'll probably try to fit this in our garage so I can have my outdoor fridge freezer situation so that I can hoard more food. I'm so excited. But anyways back to this pantry we'll probably just try to like consolidate I mean there's just like random things. Like I could fill these but I just haven't gotten the time to like organize everything. So once I either get rid of half of these things or put half in the pantry then there will be more room to organize and make it look cute. I've also been hoarding these eggs. Eggshells eggshells well actually one of them has eggs in them. I should probably like throw this away but I heard that if you like blend them up you can kind of put them all up in your garden so that's why they're here. I just haven't done that yet but one of these days I really like tomorrow this weekend we're gonna blend these up and like put them all up in the garden and really get those nutrients flowing. Let's do a little garden update. It is the most gorgeous day. We're finally having some really nice weather and some sun but I already know what I fucked up guys I saw tiktoks right after I did it but this mint should have gone in a pot alone because apparently it just like takes over honestly I'd be fine with that because I really like mint and I put it in like a lot of my mocktails and cocktails so I don't really care if it takes over but we'll see how it does. Look at these little sprouts. I can't really tell if y'all can see because it's so bright out here. Look how cute they literally look like the sprout emoji so we got some cilantro sprouting some basil and some chives and no mint yet but one day I am really not sure what's blooming because Ryan says that is grass right there in my mind I'm just being dilulu and I want it to be a flower but we'll see so all of this should be poppies right here and then back there are the vegetables that we planted over here again there's like some things popping out but there's also like so many weeds in our yard like this grass grows so freaking fast so we're again not sure it could probably be a weed but there are some sprouts right here and I think these are some zinnias over here we also have some zinnias popping up but I'm not sure about the bulbs and how they're doing I think bulbs like take a long time to sprout and again I'm not really sure if I did it right because I think I planted them too late so if they don't sprout we'll be fine at least we'll have these pretty ones. I am so excited because this backyard is going to be transformed within hopefully the next month or so we're number one getting new fence and then we're also thinking about getting a pool but not like an in the ground pool one of those cowboy stock tank pools they're really popular here in Austin to the point where you can literally put on your zilla listing that you have a pool if you have a cowboy out of the ground pool which when I was looking for a house I kind of thought that was fucked up but whatever like whenever we sell it we will be putting that our house has a pool if we do get this but that means we want to probably extend the deck a little bit which wouldn't be too bad because we just need to extend it like a little further so that around the pool you could like sit and put your feet in because the cowboy pool doesn't have like a lip so if you just have the cowboy pool and not a deck around it there wouldn't be an option to just like chill and put your feet in if that makes sense so anyways very fun updates I will obviously take you guys throughout the process when all that stuff starts getting done we're just now getting some quotes and trying to figure it out financially but I'm really excited about it because I really wanted a pool in our backyard and this is going to be the next best thing it's just a lot more affordable than an in the ground pool I mean like that's just common sense because it's literally like it's almost like a kiddie pool but not an inflatable so that's pretty much all the updates I have to share with you guys hopefully I'll vlog this weekend and try to get caught up on editing and like posting in real time but if you guys want to see more content daily content I'm over on tiktok and Instagram if tiktok gets banned which I'm hoping it doesn't I don't know I feel like it's this whole shindig that they do every like couple of months so I'm not really sure when to freaking believe it to be honest but let's just hope it doesn't get banned because I'm quite literally addicted we're having a pretty chill weekend around here I have a pickleball double date tomorrow morning and that's literally all I have planned if you're not subscribed hit that subscribe button before you guys leave and I will see you guys in my next vlog bye
