 Happy Monday, welcome to another week in my life vlog. My voice is kind of shot today, had a great weekend clearly. This one I got up with the Fox Trot, had my coffee with my dad, and then I worked there. My voice, I cannot believe it. I've been going to a nice 1130 Pilates class, which I loved because in the morning I just get straight to work, I get a bunch of stuff done that I need to get done, I go work out, I have a little break as like a lunch break. Come home, shower, get ready, have the rest of my day. So today is Monday, I have been working, I need to go to Sprout, so I'm going to take you guys with me. Tonight I'm actually going to film an in depth night routine, very similar to the in depth morning routine I just filmed. If you guys haven't seen it, go watch. Anyway, so I'm going to film a night routine tonight. Subscribe if you guys are new here, I hope you guys have been really enjoying the week of my life vlogs. Just to grow a lot of work everyone, you know. I don't want to go ride horses today, but I can't. It's actually oddly warm today, but I think I'm just going to throw this jacket on. I have so many packages to unbox to show you guys. This, by the way, I got my newly subscription. It's really cute. I wore horseback riding. I got new jeans from Princess Pauly because normally they are my favorite, especially the asymmetrical and with the fit down here. These are new. They fit like this area weird. It's almost like right here. My thighs are too big, but it fits the rest of my leg well. It never, it's not flattering on my butt at all. I mean, they're like comfortable. Not the most comfortable. Not the best jeans ever. Honestly, they would be perfect if this just fit better. But I also got these jeans. These are the Alabama jeans, which I thought they were so cute and they have this little slit on the side pretty much. I have so many pairs of jeans and I always just go back to my Princess Pauly ones even over way more expensive ones. I got these too. I thought these were like fun and a little bit different. Even like with a tight sweater and boots or something like that, I thought this was cute. Anyways, we are off to Sprouts. I have been living for this bag since I purchased it. I'm honestly pretty tired, so I might go get some Starbucks as well. I'm having a really good Monday. We're going to my favorite place in the world, which is Sprouts. It's my favorite grocery store. I'm going to take you guys with me. I also got this lip gloss, which honestly, I got it randomly at the drugstore. It definitely looks like a cheaper kind of lip gloss and the applicator isn't like insane. I like it and it stays on. I'm not going to go out and say it's the best thing I've ever had. I just picked out a podcast to listen to. It's getting confidential. Normally I would get this bread. Dave's bread, my favorite bread ever, or Ezekiel, but I always do Dave's at Sprouts. Immediately in the beverage department. I love Hatter Roach. These two are my favorites, but I love all of them. Also, Oli Pop is so good at the root beer. It's my favorite. I love pre-made meals. I'm really able to scrub one just if I'm really, really busy. So I don't do it off like I did today. Also, this is so convenient if you're like making salads and stuff. I love the salmon. Both of them, but especially this one. So good. Favorite coffees right here. It didn't even cover that much and I somehow still have five bags. I just think about Sprouts is that they randomly have cool things that I want to try. So we're going to go do a haul. Okay, so we're going to do a little haul. I kind of got the vibe. I wasn't supposed to be filming in there. So I kind of stopped, but I'll give you guys a little bit of a haul. I'm making soup tonight. Oh, prize surprise. So I just picked out things that I need. Chicken stock. I got mangoes because I love having mangoes as a snack. Bananas. I'm going to try a new cold brew. I got this mainly because it was smaller for my fridge, but it's the Stumptown Coffee Roasters Cold Brew. All my other ones, I love the Califia Farms ones. I just wanted to see if I like this because it is smaller. Long green rice, celery, avocados, onions, which are literally the foundation of adulthood. I also got cucumbers. I used to eat like Quaker Oats, hummus, and cucumbers as snacks with like lemon juice on top and everything with a bagel seasoning all the time. I don't know why it stopped. I have some bone broth to drink. I used to be so good about it when I haven't been recently. Chicken, hummus, an easy pre-made meal. Okay, I got this the Bonsa Mac and Cheese. So it's like the chickpea. It's basically chickpea and mac and cheese, which sounds great. And then I want to start drinking peppermint tea at night again. So we're back on that. I'm still finishing my sweet tea. I'm booking for a new book. I'll tell you how I do it. McAllister Sweet Tea, 10 out of 10. So I'm on Goodreads right now. I go through there. Typically I have like a list or I have books on my like TBR list. Tonight I'm going to finish the latest book in the Simple Wild series, which I'm really sad about finishing because I love that series. But I think I want to keep my book still like lighting cute either. Actually, I think I want like a really sad romance novel. I don't know. Like I want something like love and other words kind of vibe. Anyways, I just go on Goodreads and then I download a bunch of samples to my Kindle, and then I go on my Kindle and then read from there. But there's just such a reading community online. Like even before book talk, like there's just people that I follow for book rags. The problem is that I've read so much that I've read most of the recommendations at this point because we're like two years into like my reading hits again. But basically I just go on Goodreads and I look through and then I'll go through lists that I've made already. Also if I read a book that I love, I'll go and read all of the author's other books, but I feel like people actually don't really do as often, which I feel like it sounds like an obvious one, but I don't know. It's a good way. Alright everyone, we have some unboxings to do. So many packages. I've been just letting them pile up. Let me let you in on a life hack. I have an experience to hangover. My hangovers are like debilitating and I feel dramatic. Anyways, I wake up feeling fine. It is the purple tree for a great day after celebrating herbal vitamin. I just take two when I get home after drinking and I wake up feeling fine. I'm not kidding. Fasting never happened to me. I bought my dad a Kindle. How cute. Okay, I have a package from Blender Bombs. I have a founder on the podcast. It was such a good episode. They're super shoe stocks. They're really cool. You just love them smoothie. Ooh, tipsy spritzer. More Blender Bombs. Oh my God, these look so good. They have like Blender Bomb bars. Oh my God. It's me. I'm casting Blender Bombs Kinsey Bomb. Guys, that is so cute. Look at how beautiful this is. I mean guys, this is just the best package ever. On the Widers from Helen. That is so funny. Well, I got these tights. I overnighted them and they came in too late. I needed them for the weekend. So now I just have extra. Okay, I hope these are my new sneakers. I really, really hope. I just needed new sneakers. So I got these from Nike. How cute. I will literally live in these. Laugh for not least. I got two cowboy hats from Princess Polly. These were like cheap and just colored ones. The pink one. And then we have this cute little brown one. Say try Amazon music on Limited. Cody Johnson on Amazon. Good morning, everyone. It is Tuesday morning. I woke up. I've just been working all morning. I've actually been liking it, getting up, doing a little bit of reading, journaling, having my morning coffee, and then getting work done and then going to work out. I've preferred it. I wasn't going to go to 1130 Pilates, but Jessica and I kind of need to do a meeting about the O-Kind anyway. So we're just going to go walk Katie Trail in Great Storm. This shirt, by the way, it's from Oswell. I love it. I don't know what it is about this specific one. I just love it. We're listening to country music all morning. Now I'm editing TikToks. I'm working out book posts. I mean, we're living a good life. I mentioned last week that I'm trying to not, like, I don't know the words to use if you guys watched last week's video. Well, first off, these barstools that are probably about to fall and fall apart that never have been here for a year and have never been fully set up. They're going to be replaced on Friday, finally, by the ones I've wanted. And my other furniture is coming here March 3rd, so I'm really excited. But anyways, I've been thinking a lot about how I live my life and what I want my life to feel like. And I've realized that I don't. I want my life to be very full and busy, but I don't like using that word because it stresses me out. I feel like my life is very full in very full capacity. I can do a lot of things, but I don't want to feel like I am constantly hurried or in a rush or just, like, living, like, with high stress. I don't want that. It's not that I necessarily want to take things away. I just want to change my mindset and I want to live very calm. So I'm working on that because I'm naturally, I would not say a calm person. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm, like, the most calm person, but I want to be, like, so zen. I think I equate, like, if I like my life and if I'm having fun and I'm not stressed all the time, as if I'm not doing enough. But, like, I can do the exact same amount of stuff and not feel that way. You know what I mean? Just working on that. I'm going to edit a TikTok really quick and then I'm going to Katie Trail. I really want to get coffee, too. So I think that's the move. I got my new shoes on. We're in Knox Henderson. Going to the Knox entrance for Katie Trail. How are you feeling? Good. Is her second workout of the day? Yeah. That'll get your steps in. True. Everyone. Guys, look at her sweats. If you know, you know. What are the chances that I take a photo of Jess and her do-mall merch and I send it in and say, spot it? I think it's great. About 100%. We're here to give you a little kind update. What do you have to say? I talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. I would say we're making some really exciting moves. We have, like, for the first time, I think, like, a pretty good time line, a good idea of timeline, a good idea of getting close. Wow. Yeah. I'm saying that because it's going to be true. Once we okay the samples, then it's about a month turnaround. So we're, like, we have this whole walk to, like, plan the shoot. We're also talking the office spaces, which is difficult because commercial is, like, a three to five-year lease, which we're not going to sign because you have no idea where you're going to be in three or five years. Yeah, it's just not. It's not physically, but, like, where the company will be. It's just not smart. Yeah, it's not it. So we're looking at, like, other options. Right now, we're going to be out of my garage until we, like, buy into space. And we're going to be doing shipping for the first while. We will be looking. That will be, like, the one thing we really outsource, besides, like, graphics. Yeah. Um, eventually. Yeah, I'm pretty good at Adobe Photoshop. All right, just the shipping then. Um, yeah. I mean, we don't even need to really outsource graphics because we're going to have that. So we've already done that, I guess. So go follow if you guys are lost. It's the clothing brand that we're starting. Um, yes. And it has been in the works for a while. It takes a long time to do it. It's a lot of money. It's self-funded. So that's just... Yeah, that's also partially why it's taking so long because we want everything to be perfect for you guys. But we also, like, can't be like... It's literally our money. Like, it's literally the two of us putting money in ourselves. So we, like, have to be smart, too. So, like, that sometimes ends up making things take a little bit longer. But it's just because we want the quality and everything to be perfect. The best they can be. And also, it's like, there's certain things that, like, we want to expand to. Like, we're going to want to extend sizing as soon as possible. But because we don't have... We just don't have enough money to come out with, like, a huge size range, which is the goal. But in order to make that happen, we have to come out with a product to then make money to then put it back in the business to expand. Right. Sizing. I mean, that's a really big one that we, like, want to do. But it's literally... In less than a month, we're going to have to write us a check for, like, $200,000. Yeah, really? We can't... It's, like, not even possible. We're starting with, like, limited batches and then we'll do drops every month. Hopefully, Fingers Cross launches in March. That's... Yeah. That sounds so crazy to even say. Guys, it's February 1st. I know. It's March or April as of right now, but as soon as we get stuff, I mean, we're ready to go. We've been ready to go. Yeah. So yeah. It's just been, we're just, you know, perfecting quality and stuff like that, which takes the longest, but where we don't want to, like, skip out on it. If you guys want to stay up to date, you can follow the Instagram or join the newsletter, and that's where we'll be starting... We'll be starting to do, like, emails with all the information. Yeah. Also, join the Geneva Group because we've been asking questions. Oh, yeah. We're asking so many questions about, like, sizes, cuts... It's not like, like, sneak preview or something. Yeah. We're, like, literally understanding what it is. Yeah. Basically, because we just need... We need feedback. We need feedback. We want you guys to work it. Yeah. So it's basically, like, whatever you guys want, so join the Geneva chat. Yeah. All right, we're going to go look around it, all the spaces that we, now we want. They're a little expensive. So, keep it posted. So, I'm going to end my self this week. I should not even put this on. First off, not in one of my outfits because it's really cute, but I'm just so frustrated with myself because I just, mentally, like, I'm not fair. Last night, I was so irritable for, like, no reason. I am starting to carry it soon, so I guess that's why. But, I just, for whatever reason, cannot talk. Like, when I filmed a video last night, it was pitiful. Like, I cannot talk to a camera. I can't talk to anyone. My brain fog is so bad. But anyways, I'm going to turn it to stay around. I've been working my weekly schedule to Scott and my stuff. I was supposed to shoot for everybody to cast a wife. Then you drop tomorrow. But it's not already until tomorrow now. So, I had to reschedule all that and I've just been doing other stuff and whatever. Boring stuff. But, I'm actually about to go get some food. Three. Going up to a very late lunch. It sounded like just, like, appetizers, not really like any lunch. And then a really early dinner. We're going to the Charles tonight because I haven't been. I just wanted to go. So, I'm basically going to, like, two places. I'm going to Katie Charlie's house and then I'm going to the Charles. So, it's a very Dallas day. I'm trying to not be hard on myself, but, like, oh my gosh. Some weeks are just, like, you're out of it. Some days you're out of it. I don't want to say weeks. And, uh, that's me today. So, I'm going to see Maddie when I haven't seen her in so long. If you guys have watched my videos, like, OG videos in high school, she was in, like, all of them when I had my best friends growing up. So, I'm going to head out. So, I'm not late. And get myself together. Maybe this will just fix me, you know? All right, guys. We're at the Charles. Met up with Jessica. We have cute little Marns. Um, and honestly, she's deciding what we're eating because I never really care. We're in the little speakeasy part. It's super cute. Yeah. It's really cute. So, we're, it's literally 5'30. We're 70 years old, but, like, both of us like being in bed early. So, I made it for 5'30. Dream night. Just... 15. Good morning, guys. It is Wednesday. It's almost 10 a.m. I've just been sitting here working. I'm doing a lot of outreach for Nashville, which I'm really excited for. I'm doing a batch recording, um, trip. So, if you guys have people you want me to have on from Nashville, comment below. Guys, I am just so off this week. And I have PMDD, and I realize it's because it's my week that my PMDD is, like, really high. And I am like, oh my god, I cannot do anything. It's supposed to freeze tonight. So, we're supposed to go to the rodeo and we're gonna go see Carter Faith perform. And I was really excited, but it doesn't look like we're gonna do that because it's an hour away. Anyways, just getting some stuff done today. Sorry that I've been off in this vlog. I thought about just not even vlogging, but honestly, this is very realistic. And I really let you guys into a lot of my life. And I am just not feeling myself. It is so cold. I cannot believe it was 70 earlier this week. I have been on the verge of tears literally all week for no reason. Like, nothing is even wrong. Like, even happy things. I, like, teared up. Someone was happy for their friend. I teared up. I just, like, oh my god. I feel like I can't talk. I can't think straight. I can't do anything. So, I'm gonna go to Pilates and hopefully that helps me. But, I mean, it's just not looking good for me. I'm gonna organize and clear my closet once the merch comes in today and I'm gonna be so happy. Anyways, if you're a girl, which most of you are, you know. You know. Well, I guess not everyone. Not everyone has PMDD. You're very lucky, by the way. I'm back from Pilates. I showered. I've gotten cozy. I have my slippers on. Sadly, no rodeo. I really wanted to go. We're getting the ice storm. If you guys saw last year, it was, like, detrimental and so sad. I'm not gonna make this vlog more negative than I feel like I've already been. So, we're not gonna talk about it, but know that the ice storm is happening tonight. So, I'm home until further notice, which, honestly, just feels right. Like, you know those weeks that you just need to be home? Like, I might even put TV on. I don't know. But, I think my merch came in. So, we're gonna do a little unboxing. This is out on February 10th. I want to say today I'm gonna send her time. So, go set your calendars. Set your alarms. I need to see stories, new tagging stories. This is it. Alright, the first thing we have is bread-winning housewives' sweatpants, white, and what's cool about it is that they're embroidered. Like, look at how nice that is. And then, oh, just you wait. Are you ready? Look at how cute. And again, it is embroidered. I mean, are we just obsessed? Also, I'm 24 years old and every time I say, are you ready? I hear the Zoey 101 theme song. And then, of course, we have the baseball cap. So cute. And then the tumbler that I've been showing you guys nonstop. Then we also just have some good old crews. So, I have this pink one. Again, it's embroidered. Everything in this collection is embroidered with white. You guys really wanted something pink. So, it's the cute little crew. And then, and then we have it in this more, like, green color with black embroidery. I just think it is so cute. That is all we have for this drop. I'm really excited. You guys sold out the first drop or the last drop, like, within an hour. It's still available because it's print-on-demand. So, we, like, bought a batch at first. So, it will be, like, fast immediately. And then, you guys sold it out literally four times over in the first day. So, I was so happy. I couldn't believe all the support. So, thank you guys so much. If you purchased anything and if you're going to, like, it literally means the entire world to me. I cannot explain that. I cannot express that enough. I am just so grateful. You have no idea. I just ordered lunch from the Calisters because I'm craving it. And also, I don't think I'll be able to tomorrow. So, I'll be eating from home. I'll be eating from home. I just got a package from DP Hue. I love Justin Anderson so much. Like, I'm obsessed with him. I'm excited because this is, like, four color-treated blondes. So, there's a color-fresh. The blow-dry cream. And then, the color-fresh thermal protection spray. You know what? We're putting the fire on. Genius idea. Working from the couch. But I just ordered the Calisters sweet tea and then I've been getting the Rachel sandwich. It's like the Rubin. But I don't really know what's different about it. But it's really good. VMS. Where I didn't feel... So, it is Wednesday night. Yes. So, I ended up having a pretty productive afternoon every time I'm vlogging. So, it just comes because he thinks I sit down and play with him like this all the time. So, he just doesn't understand that there's a camera here. He's not understanding when he can't go play in the yard because it is going to be sleeting out there. Anyways, it's going to be the ice storm tonight in Texas. So, I've done everything I can do. We're in the house until further notice. I just wanted to talk about something that I feel like I talked about more on Instagram. It's like cute until it's annoying, you know? Fitz, what do you think, bud? No, that's what he's going to do. Sit. I feel like I've been talking about this a lot recently. But it's just like this thought I've been having. I feel like a lot of people have been feeling this way post-COVID. But the life that I live that I feel like I have to just be go, go, go. Booked every single hour. Like more so like a hustle culture mentality. It's just like not what I want. And I talked to my therapist about this. And it's not that I don't want to work hard and have this crazy career. It's not that at all. I just don't think that that is the way that it works for me. Also, I'm just not happy like that. I eventually burnout. I prefer periods of time where I'll do like a week that's like pretty packed and busy because there is a part of me that loves that and there's a part of me that loves being on the go. But then there's a part of me that also loves like feeling very grounded and very just calm and at peace. And also, I think just with the nature of my job I feel like I'm not working 24-7 and then everything's just going to fall to the ground. You know, if it's maybe you want to go sit in your chair. Anyways, I talked about this a lot last week but I feel like I've kind of gotten... I've been thinking about it more and I've gotten better answers almost. The pressure comes for myself. I truly do better. My job does better. My career does better. Everything does better. When I am living at a more like healthy, more balanced life even though I don't necessarily believe in balance I more so believe in priorities which is like another way to stay balanced. Like at different times you have different priorities. And I think my priority now is myself where it's never been that way before ever and I am really finding myself and I think I've just developed a very strong sense of self over the past year or so but now that I have achieved the level of inner peace that I found from riding horses that is what I want my life to feel like so I'm trying to just learn how to embody that in myself to where I carry that level of peace and calmness and regardless of like the things happening around me and also just like practically speaking higher out more. Yeah I did a really fun Instagram Q&A today and I answered a lot of questions very in depth and I just like love when I feel close to you guys. I genuinely feel like you guys are my friends so when I'm talking about things like even when a lot of people on the internet like when they have projects or things they want to do they'll like keep it private until they launch which I totally understand but I'm trying to just more talking about like cowboy bootlines like obvious like I would tell all my friends like I want to design a cowboy boot collection and that's what it feels like when I tell you guys it's not me being like oh like projects coming to haha I'm working so hard it's really just like you guys are like my friends and I tell my friends these things so I feel like weird if I don't tell you guys. Also on the topic I'm just feeling stressed and anxious all the time this happens a lot at the beginning of the year and this also happens a lot like for my period I came DD if you don't know what it is pretty much just for disorder it's the worst thing ever but that is the week that I will just get so in my head and overthink everything and think that I'm a failure and blah blah whatever and I've learned that if it's just that week I just completely don't listen to it like I'm not going to fail away in three days and I ignore it and it is so crazy what happens when you just recognize a thought that's not true and ignore it like oh my god they should really teach you that in school but on the topic I'm feeling anxious all the time um sometimes when I am feeling burnt out what I'll do is just kind of scratch I'll just kind of scratch my routine for the day or for the night like where I normally have this like night routine whatever but if I want to stay up late and like watch YouTube videos or watch TV or even read a book like whatever it is or even edit or do things that I used to do like in high school when I would like work at night and edit videos in my bed and I was so excited to make vision boards I will just go back and do things that I used to do when I was like a kid or a teenager and it helps me so much um so that's not what I'm going to do I don't know just like no routine sometimes or the best thing okay good morning guys it is really cold today is Thursday I guess you could say it's snow but it's definitely just ice on the ground um if you guys I hate that light only one month left of it if you guys live in Texas or out actually I'm curious how many of you guys live in Texas comment below I don't even know if I'm going to like this flavor but um anyways I'm sure you guys saw like the devastating ice storm we have last year they were saying we're in another one this is the other one this is nowhere near what it was it's not even one of those things really where like Texans are being dramatic it's just that like obviously this date isn't built for that because we don't normally get them anyways today is Thursday I have calls from 10.30 to 3 I have a bunch of interviews and then I have a Broadboarding Housewife 2022 merch meeting again the best purchase I've ever made it's so long that often enough bad really good about today gonna make some frozen pizza for lunch it has been snowing we've barely gotten anything therapy virtually and then in 10 minutes for for like summer drops I'm out of breath because it has carried my laundry from downstairs the top guys it's just like it's really a lot honestly I had a virtual therapy if you guys are not on therapy you need to be in it I just all have been having a week also like ask boss on Instagram because basically when I made my podcast it wasn't intended to be a like 20th survival kind podcast but when I went through my just I don't know 23rd year and opened up about how I was really struggling and just like confused whatever and just you know whatever so many of you guys reached out and say the same thing I got so many messages and I shared a few of them honestly online but I'm talking about hundreds of messages of people feeling the exact same way feeling like everyone around them is doing great and they're not either they're not on track embarrassed it for like not dating honestly a lot of messages from girls like embarrassing me virgin which you should not be embarrassed of job career feeling like they're never going to find someone feeling like they're not going to find someone to build a future with feeling like they're in the wrong relationship feeling like they're overthinking like there was just so many and it's so crazy reading those because you there's like hundreds of messages saying the exact same thing and then also feeling like they're alone and like we all feel this way but people just don't really talk about it I don't know what it is being vulnerable is definitely a difficult thing but I think there's pressure to do in your 20s to feel like you have to know everything or have it together and I don't know so anyways being in your 20s is hard guys I'm not going to lie but I'm meeting in like 4 minutes and then I guess I'll just put this in here now and then I'm going to do my laundry and set a timer for like another 20 minutes just clean and go through my closet and get everything situated if like my house is like a little bit cluttered not like really cluttered but I just want to clean up a little bit and then have a nice probably like relaxing afternoon I've been working on my iPad again and I just love working on that I've let it be dead for probably 6 months and I charged it and like what a good choice Hi How are you? Good how are you? Starting to go giving myself 23 minutes Happy Friday everyone there is snow or ice on the ground I'm continuing the vlog because I have furniture while I was supposed to have furniture arriving today the furniture is not arriving the roads are very icy I'm going to give you guys a little book review on what I read in January I read 6 books I have the Kindle Oasis if you guys have any questions about the Kindle Oasis I have a highlight on my Instagram and if you need more book racks I'm constantly posting on my feed and highlights I honestly just want to be in bed reading all day today but it was Good Morning Monster I actually liked the You Need to Talk to Someone book better than Good Morning Monster I liked Good Morning Monster a lot but I felt like it dragged on a lot I really enjoyed it still and if you guys have read You Need to Talk to Someone or you should talk to someone I read that I think summer 2020 both books are following therapists and their journeys with certain patients so it's really interesting and really helpful then I read Full Out by Monica from Cheer she's the coach in the bar what I like a lot about this book is that it feels like she actually wrote it and she's so Texan what I mean by that is you can actually hear her voice in this book and I feel like a lot of celebrity books sometimes you can lose that especially when it's a book deal pretty quick anyways I really like that book it's about leadership, it talks about her divorce it's an interesting book love her, she's also her and Dolly Parton are my two dream guests on the podcast and Monica followed me on Instagram last week and that was probably the only time I really had a fangirl okay I also read Final Girls by Riley Sager Natasha Bray told me to read this and she was like this is such a good book it was really good it reminds me for whatever reason I must have read a book similar to this in middle school or high school because for whatever reason I must have read a book similar to this one in middle school or early high school because it kept reminding me of something I haven't read that book and I don't know what book it was but the Final Girls they're girls that have essentially survived tragedy basically everyone else around them have murdered and they survived and there's this bond and then it follows their stories it's interesting, they have a support group I liked it, I would give it a 3.7 out of 5 then I read the fourth book which is my favorite series ever I would give anything to be able to read it again for the first time technically it's book number 3 because there's a novella but there's 4 books I hate when they do that, just say 4 so I read Running Wild which follows Marie's stories if you guys have read this series it follows Jonah and Kala and then Jonah has a girl best friend Marie who's in love with him and then obviously he doesn't end up with her she's the veterinarian series before, I didn't like her but then when you read it from her perspective Queer Eye and Texas is on the screen on the TV, I actually really need to watch that I can't believe I haven't watched that I love Queer Eye, anyways it follows Marie's story, it's not as intense as Jonah and Kala's which I kind of liked because it felt more true to Marie's story instead of making the books like match the books I felt like the book matched Marie which I really appreciated and I loved the book, if you guys have read The Simple Wild series, I just love it, oh my god I also read The Go-Giver which Justin Anderson recommended on a podcast somewhere a little story about a powerful business idea but it gives you like 5 principles the short read, essentially it's just about like giving more value I really liked it, it was a quick easy read it's a lot of things that I learned in college, I went to like a leadership college so I liked it a lot last but not least, I read Reminders of Him by Collin Hoover, which is actually our book club pick, if you guys didn't know we have a book club, we meet in the middle of the month on the Geneva app Geneva Home, which is an app it's essentially like a really big group message we have like a subgroup on there for book club we're meeting, I want to say like February 13th or something, I don't know the information is in the app, it's always linked below join it and we're basically going to do a clubhouse thing about it I loved Reminders of Him, I recently made a Collin Hoover ranking kind of wish that I did it, because honestly it wouldn't be my top 5 Colleen says this is her saddest, most depressing book which I honestly agree with even over like All Your Perfects which like I actually loved All Your Perfects but it's not really like a crowdfave but like that one's the best one honestly besides it ends with us, this woman I forget the character's names, I don't even know why this woman makes a really bad decision ends up going to jail, finds that she's pregnant loses her daughter and then it kind of follows that story, I really like the story and I like how you're able to like humile someone while they can make a horrible, horrible, horrible mistake anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed my book talk for the week, I shared an Instagram post with all these book titles and stuff too if you guys want to go check it out, but I love you guys so much, I hope you guys enjoy the stink of my life vlog, I'm sorry I was out of it but like sometimes that's what happens and these videos are very realistic, so anyways, love you guys so much and I'll talk to you soon, bye in one day I really did just wake up and notice how much it changed and how much I had changed or the better and gotten so much stronger and more confident in who I am
