 good morning besties i come to you humbly in my horse shirt and my smiley face slippers it has been a week let's just say that so obviously the last vlog that you saw in case you missed it i got fractal lasers on on my face and it's been six days yeah six days since i got it done and i wanted to share with you my experience i vlogged a little bit throughout the week but honestly there really wasn't anything to improve on there weren't any like new developments it was sort of just like the same thing every day but just like with a little less swelling and uh boy did i swell did i ever so we'll jump back to that here i am at the end of day two i don't have an under eye anymore on this side like this is crazy so i have no pain like nothing hurts at all whatsoever i have noticed that i'm getting like some baby whiteheads and i don't know if it's because of the ointment and it just feels so wrong putting ointment on my face um but i ordered another soap tonight that was like on the list of approved soaps and one of them was dove bar soap it's on its way right now and i'm gonna hopefully try to like clean off some more of the ointment before i put more on but the only thing so far is that as of like probably four or five o'clock today it's been itching like it's starting to itch and you can't itch it obviously your skin is like super obviously very fragile i just can't get over i did not expect the swelling to be like this i iced my face last night according to the directions but my face just swells a lot and i remember this from when i got my wisdom teeth out my face swelled up really bad and then obviously the last time i got the pulse dye it swelled up pretty good but yeah this is what i look like one of my best friends texted me and said that her husband saw my instagram stories and thought that i got filler in my face and i was like why would i want my face to look like this um but yeah here we are day two absolutely insane especially the eye like i just can't get over this eye this one isn't as bad i mean we can see why okay update tomorrow it's day three and now this side of my face is just as swollen as this side of my face or maybe this side has gone down but it does feel like this side has gone up in swelling here's like a better look at it maybe it is a little better from yesterday actually maybe not maybe i'm just getting used to it it feels like both of my cheeks like i can see them out of my peripheral which i'm not used to but it's day three i got i called yesterday to ask because you know i've been like exercising every day and i had not really been clear on the instructions when it comes to exercise oh that can go in the wash i heard back and it is okay for me to exercise so i'm gonna do like a low impact peloton class this morning just to see how i feel i do have therapy this morning so i did send my therapist a message ahead of time i was just like hey just so you know like my face is swollen and bruised i told her that i got like laser resurfacing done on my face so anyways let's do a quick workout do a quick peloton i haven't been on the peloton in like probably two weeks so it's time and we'll see how we feel afterwards we're gonna wash our face i'll show you my little routine and then we'll get on with our day more than anything i really want to take a walk outside but you're not supposed to go in the sun for like a month after you get it done especially not when you're healing so i guess i just have to wait a man i want to take a walk really bad but we'll do some peloton instead we are day six and this is what we are working with so my face feels like coffee grounds are stuck to it which is kind of weird i would say around my nose it's like started to you know be smooth skin like the smooth skin from underneath is starting to show but um you're not allowed to exfoliate at all or like scrub or wipe it off or anything like that you kind of just have to like let the skin do its thing so i'm definitely much better with the swelling today i would say i'm like 98% back to normal oh i forgot to also mention in the last video a couple people were asking about the cost and it was with the pulse dye laser oh yeah by the way this is the update still bruising but hopefully that'll you know keep going away it goes away like more and more day by day but it cost for the pulse dye laser and the frax laser it was $1,050 it was not cheap but it was you know something i have been thinking about for years years and years and years and years i've been thinking about it so i'm glad i did it and now i'm like oh do i really have to go through this again because i was looking rough it was it was a lot and i was just like wow is this really something i'm gonna have to do like three to six times and the answer is yeah probably i mean i've made it this far so i feel like i can only just go up from here you know what i mean so i'm actually putting on makeup for the first time since i got it done i have not touched my face with makeup at all whatsoever in six days so we're gonna try it out and i thought we could try it together i don't even know what it's gonna look like i don't know if it's gonna be like you know crispy looking but i figured we'd try so it's actually sunday today and i am getting ready to film some videos because this week is gonna be a busy week druth and my five-year anniversary is on saturday and we were trying to go back and forth between like if we were gonna go out of town or not we did decide we're gonna go out of town we're gonna just go to la because it's close by so we'll see our friends we'll do like a disney day i think while we're there i have some thoughts about disney right now but i mean our passes are already paid for and like i love a disney day so we're gonna leave for that on friday and then i have like therapy this week i have a hair appointment this week i have some videos to film this week i have a sponsored video that i need to film today because it needs to be sent in by tomorrow and there's just a lot to do before our trip on friday okay i'm like scared i i don't think i'm supposed to swirl it around so i'm just gonna tap okay oh i think i'm gonna look a little scaly today but that's okay we're gonna we're gonna work with it um okay you know what it's not that bad and you probably can't see it in this lighting but like in real life you can kind of see the pattern of the laser it almost looks like if you like sleep on a pillow or you know what i mean like something like that but this is um a little more intense and then tonight we're actually going to our friend's health warming party and we haven't seen these friends since like a year ago probably crazy they just bought their first house and so we're gonna go to their health warming party we talked about a bunch of different options for like our anniversary trip but we just waited until the last minute we're also trying to go out of town right now while we can because i don't know you know there's like news of another variant and i don't anyway we're not gonna get into that but we want to go while we still can okay you know what it's not as bad as i thought you can definitely see some peeling like around my nose the bruises aren't entirely covered that's okay it's it's not perfect but it's better than i thought so anyways we had thought about um doing like some other trips and it just wasn't planned out enough like we went back and forth we were like should we go back to Nashville like where i'm from i could show you finally we've never been there together i could show you finally where i'm from and like oh my god we've talked about everything san francisco we thought about going back to seattle we talked about going to dc vegas palm springs big sir road trip we're through all these different scenarios but we're like five days out from when we're supposed to leave so in true us fashion we waited a little too long to like plan something and we're gonna like probably stay in like a nicer hotel and splurge and like go out to nice dinners and we're gonna do like a day in malibu like it's gonna be romantic and cute we're excited all right i need to finish this and then we're gonna get started on filming i have three hours ish until we have to leave and i would really love to film two full main channel videos today one of which is sponsored so like i kind of need to let a fire up under my ass so we'll check in shortly full disclosure here um this is what my filming room looks like this is the aftermath of the last video this is also a dead plant in the window that i'm very sad about i don't want to talk about it these are my little sound panel things that keep falling off the walls it's fine but do you know what we do we persevere so i'm going to get together all of the outfits that i need for this video this one coming up there are five different looks i think i have almost everything i need and i just like usually hang them in my little closet over here and like have them all ready to go before i film because that way it's just way easier for when i'm actually like currently filming the video i can just like pop in there grab the look and put it on really quick really need to clean that pile of clothes but i kind of don't want to got the goods got my lipstick on we're fully ready i need to change obviously because i'm not gonna wear this in my video ignore this because that was just clothes for my clothing rack that i need to put away but i have five looks right here ready to go ready for spring got all the shoes and everything and we're gonna film all right just finished filming i'm glad that that's over with because i am running a little late we need to head out the door here in a minute and i'm just going i've thought about getting dressed up tonight for this housewarming party and i'm kind of like i think i just want to go casual but now i'm sitting here like are other people going to be dressed up and wearing like dresses and stuff so maybe i should get dressed up all right scratch that we switched up the look because i want to wear something a little more dressy i don't know what i mean this isn't dressy but you know what i mean like i don't know what the vibe is going to be so i guess i'd rather show up and be overdressed plus drew it's really cute he's wearing like a cute little collared shirt and stuff so i think i'm gonna go with this this top is from Abercrombie Abercrombie has been like my new favorite clothing store as of late and then these shoes i think are from Target so we're like cute and cash it's kind of warm outside today but i think it's gonna be chilly tonight so this is the look in her dirt pile as usual so it is actually like two days later i'm gonna go do some filming because i'm getting my hair touched up today i'm so excited i'm going back to red again i'm doing another red moment um the last time i did like a semi permanent i think it was so it only lasted like a few washes i mean it's definitely so darker than it was but it's not as red anymore so i'm gonna get that touched up and i might do like permanent this time so it lasts a little bit longer we'll see i'm gonna talk to her when i get there but since i have to drive so far to my appointment i like to do like when i go to my laser appointments when i go to my hair appointments like anything in scotsdale i will try to like maximize the time that i have and go film other videos so i'm gonna go to a workout clothing store called athlita athlita i think they're owned by like gap and old navy and they're really size inclusive and a lot of people have been talking about them so i'm gonna do like a try on different sizes video like inside the fitting room video but workout clothes so that's something i've never done before they opened like 45 minutes ago i've been really productive this morning i got a workout in i was cleaning i did the dishes i was doing laundry i have to put lotion on like i'm be feeling my hands right now and they're disgusting hold on oh my god that's so much better so anyways i want my way to go do that and we're gonna have some fresh red hair that's the only thing that's kind of annoying about red is that it's even like more high maintenance than blonde we're just saying something so we'll see how long i keep up with it but all right let's do this day tuesday here we go and here she is the red is back thank god it's actually looking really really dark but that's just because my hair is like not grabbing on to red color for some reason it like rejects it so basically she had to put it on for like a really really long time so that it'll like actually stick so i feel like the next time i wash it it'll be like how it was last time but it is a little bit darker i'm just having so much fun with it right now but my makeup is all kind of wonky because i was wearing a mask for the last several hours i'm going to head home maybe make a nice dinner drew gets off work in like 15 minutes because after the time changed his work time changed so he gets off an hour earlier which is nice and he was in the office today so i'll be glad to see him and we're just gonna have a nice wholesome evening as per very boring as i liked it but yes the red is back
