 Good morning guys and welcome to a new vlog. I have been debating on just like making this an entire weekend vlog but I don't know. I'd rather have two like separate videos and just have them be shorter than just one long vlog. I'm still debating it might just be put in one vlog but anyway guess where I'm going? Cycle bar which I don't go as frequently but when I can go I do go and when I wake up early enough I go so that's like the determining factor if I go to cycle bar or not. I don't get to go as frequently so when I do get to go and the factors all the stars all align I go. Tonight I'm going I'm trying this new restaurant I'm so excited I've seen it on Instagram I can't even pronounce it so I'll just show you guys when I get there but oh my gosh I cannot wait to go to this restaurant and see my friend I haven't seen my friend London in so long probably since my birthday she's been really busy I've been really busy and yeah the stores have not aligned for me to see her and it's going to just be good to like catch up. I say like she's like one of my friends that's like an independent friend meaning like I have friends but like there's kind of like groups so like I don't know with one friend I have another friend or vice versa she's kind of like a standalone cycle bar friend that I just kind of like do things with just her unless it's my birthday then like all of my friends are there but yeah it'll be really good to see her that is going to be today's vlog also I'm going to try my new curling iron I'm so excited I hope I like do it right I might well I'll vlog it but I also want to put it on TikTok so I'm going to use my Octobuddy I'm so excited about that too because it's just going to be nice I have the two that like are stuck to each other so I can just stick it on my phone but I also ordered I have a black iPhone case so I ordered a smaller Octobuddy thing to stick on that just to like have a case dedicated to like Octobuddy if I wanted to I think I might switch to that I might do like I get ready with me on TikTok because I want to try the Octobuddy so that'll be fun and yeah so I think that's about it for this rambling part again I'm sorry you could probably just skip over this if you don't want to see this part but I feel like I just have to catch up with you guys we made it to spin I literally hate this hair I do not know why it's finally like growing but it's so annoying anyway I'm thinking I'm gonna get the chicken biscuit sandwich honestly I was craving it yesterday um but I didn't get it and tonight I'm gonna have an early dinner so if I have like a late breakfast ish which that would be the late breakfast um it's it's actually pretty filling so I might just wait until dinner I mean I might have like a little snack but um yeah I think I'm gonna skip the lunch because I normally have a late lunch and if I have a late lunch like yesterday I wasn't that hungry that's why I just got that salad so I'm thinking I'm just going to have a chicken biscuit and then like a little celery and chip snack and then I'll be hungry for dinner um I actually want to get like a full like entree at dinner tonight not just like a salad like I did last night so fingers crossed that I'll be hungry tonight I think that's a good plan okay so I got my chicken biscuit they're like oh well I always see in the line like best to eat within five minutes yeah it's been like much more than five minutes but I'm sure it's fine um and then my parents want to get some coffee cake so got the coffee cake sherry wanted um a tall americano her usual and Valerie wanted her vanilla bean and then I got my coffee and I literally chugged this on the way home because it's just so so good it's like I don't mind picking up breakfast for my parents but like carrying it in is such a pain because I have like all this all of these like food items and drinks the drinks are probably the hardest for me to carry so yeah I might have to make two trips this time okay so this is my first attempt to use my octobuddy I'm so excited I'm gonna do the get ready with me video um oh my gosh it just fell because maybe it just doesn't like to stick and we need the adhesive because like on the mirror it it's on there we'll see I don't know I'll try to film it um but I'm gonna do a like review on the main girls movie and yeah um I just want to show you guys so convenient I don't have to like okay well maybe it won't stick that's sad okay it looks like I'm just gonna film this get ready with me for you two because the thing wasn't sticking and honestly like doing the get ready with me's on tiktok are just like so much harder I was gonna just edit it in like an editor app instead of like the tiktok app it's just it's always so hard I'm not gonna do that also this eyebrow is like not turning out very good I can tell like the days they're gonna turn out good and the days they're gonna turn bad and yeah I don't know they're not they're just not giving today it's kind of hard I guess I'll just do like a tiktok about the restaurant that'll be my tiktok okay they turned out as okay as they're gonna turn out I can always touch them up later but I like to just have them as like a base for my face also guys I got a new beauty blender I got this a while back because they were on sale I don't know if it was like home goods or something it's amazing how these things grow with just a little bit of water like I think it's so funny where else could be better but I think it's fine for just tonight um but this is the part I just did like I chose to do the bronzer which I didn't really blend too well okay that's a little bit better but anyway um I normally don't do bronzer because of like having to blend it so much I just don't want to do it um but I just did the normal makeup because it's like easy in other videos I've shown you guys like what I use but what I'm really excited about is my curling wand is going away well I'm not gonna throw it away because I actually really like this it's really easy to use and reliable but I got my new curling iron for Christmas that I wanted to try out um it's brand new it is the babyliss pro at nano titanium I'll link it down below it's part of my Christmas wish list so I'll link it down below but I asked my friends made of honor like what she used for her hair this will not break your bank if you don't want to like get one of those other curling irons that are like hundreds of dollars so hopefully this is easy to use and I'm gonna try it out okay I also wanted to show you guys it has this little kickstand thing which is really convenient because I always had to set my curling wand on this towel and obviously that's not safe so I'm really happy that it comes with that now I don't know when this heats up I heated it up to 300 so I don't know if that's actually gonna be I don't know if it's actually gonna tell me when it's ready hopefully it does I'll look at the directions to see but other than that I have no idea hopefully it does I actually have clean hair today I like washed it and I didn't put any heat on it like I didn't dry it so it's still there's parts of it that are still damp which probably it's probably not the best but I didn't want to put any heat on it so I haven't used an actual curling wand like really ever on my own hair I mean when I was little my mom would curl my hair this is gonna be the first time I've actually used it I hope it's easier than the curling wand I just think it will be easier because we have the clamp like I don't have to hold my hand okay so I don't know if it's actually heated up to like where it needs to be but I'm gonna assume that it's ready to use so I'm gonna take a strand this is so weird this is so bad I'm like okay so I know we take like a piece here and then oh that's kind of towards my face I don't really want it towards my face I want it away so I guess I'll do this okay this is a way oh I got some extra hairs here so like this and then like keep twirling it I'm so not used to this okay okay I need to set this down to actually like be able to grab the chunk of hair I mean clearly it curls but I need to like get equipped to how to do this that's not bad I'm trying to get like dupes of the Dyson air wrap which might not happen this time around but I'll keep working towards it so my hairstyle is said to like curl it in and then not like don't like unravel it just like drop it I don't know if that makes any sense but oh that one's actually really good once I get the hang of this I think it'll be a lot easier and quicker for me to use this barrel because the other one just took me it's such a long time to do because I had to hold it with my other hand but with the clamp it's like so much more easy okay so got done with the first side and honestly I can't complain it's really nice but uh it's definitely something to get used to like how the clamp works and stuff and I have to keep like putting it down to reposition it so I can't really like fully get a use of the stand I have this on 390 now I feel like I needed like higher heat setting because it wasn't like curling so just turned it to that anyway I'm gonna do the next side now and we're doing good on time so far so I'll show you guys the complete look okay so I remember kind of what my hairdresser and I've seen like other people on TikTok like show how to curl your hair like the right way and well I mean I've just seen it's just like a technique I guess but I think I kind of mastered it it still takes me two hands to do it which you know it's fine but I'm gonna show you guys kind of like how I do it I don't untwist the hair because it'll give the beachy wave look like I'm going for like the Dyson like air wrap look more so so it'll look like this rather than like I don't know something else but you take your curling iron and you clamp it like in the middle and then you turn your hair like this and then you leave it there for a few seconds and then you release it and then I have other hair like caught in my hand um then you turn it and then hold it for like a second or two and then you release it just a little bit so you see like the ends of this strand is shorter than it was before and you just hold that for a few seconds and then make it loose again wrap and then after you've done this or whatever then you either unravel it or I just drop it but see look at how good that looks I'm actually kind of happy with it I mean I might have to go back and like touch up some curls but other than that like I'm actually kind of happy with this curling iron it is gonna out it is gonna take some getting used to because like again I have to use like two hands for this very amateur but I'm like starting to get the concept now it just takes some practice and if the hair goes too low the clamp doesn't clamp it so it's kind of you know you just have to get the placement right you can't release the clamp to lose or else all the hair is gonna come out um yeah so I really like the results and if you do like the technique then you're good I don't know I don't really like count how long but I just like release it curl it pull it because honestly all my hair is not gonna fit in the short barrel like this is a really short barrel for my hair but it was the one that was on my list so oh my gosh that was a good one so I'm happy with this but I honestly thought it was gonna be like oh I could just clamp it and then roll it with one hand I guess that's not the case it's cool it's learning something new and fun I'm almost done okay guys so this is my outfit I absolutely love it I was gonna wear that jacket but I'm just like I don't know I just don't think that's like the vibe I'm going for and I don't think we're gonna be like outside too much so we're gonna be in a restaurant and yeah this is the fit I am going to hopefully get like a cute picture for Instagram or something but if not it's fine I just want to catch up with my friend and have a good time it's been a while since I've seen I mean you guys have seen her so you know she got her diet coke and yes it's coke this time not Pepsi you remember that one time and just like our outfits I don't know if you can see she's wearing jeans but yeah we got the same thing what is this the lamp yeah we got the lamp super cute okay so I'm home now oh my gosh that restaurant was like super cool uh we're both like London Eye are really those picky eaters so it was funny because like when she was showing me like the menu and stuff she pulled up pictures and she was like oh this uh option looks like a planar option and then we were like you know comparing and stuff I mean don't get me wrong like I love restaurants like that I think they're so cool with stuff but I do get nervous about like what they have to eat but like I know I want to experience the restaurant so like I'm not gonna like let that hold me back so even though I was like nervous I found something that I really liked and the lamb was actually really good and like whatever sauce they like put on it like you guys know I don't like a whole lot of sauce so I didn't put a lot on it but it was really good so yeah I'd like go back there maybe for like a special occasion because like it was a little expensive but other than that like I mean I kind of went in knowing that it was going to be kind of pricey but I think it was totally worth it especially for like a little girlfriend like ketchup and everything and she was just like catching me up on her life and like I don't know I was telling her about my job so that was super fun I love little outings like that I must say those are like my like that's my favorite activity to do like I love going to a nice restaurant and just like you know talking with friends and eating good food and everything so I had such a good time I think that's gonna be it for this video I know it's kind of like a rambling one but tomorrow I want to edit this and also I want to just not have to focus on vlogging because we're taking down the Christmas tree and the inside Christmas decorations tomorrow and it's so annoying like putting away Christmas decorations is the absolute worst freaking sucks like putting them up is fun and exciting you're like oh my gosh Christmas but taking them down like that's why the first well not was it the first weekend like I don't even know but we tried to take down our outside decorations first and like prioritize that or else you know we didn't want they're watching football um we didn't want to uh wait too long because you know the neighbors had already like put theirs away everything so yeah but anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this video I love taking you guys to restaurants and stuff if you enjoyed it give it a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe I'll see you guys in my next video bye
