I switched my glasses. I'm on blue Yeah, I have at least around the house. I have to because I have a stigmatism in both eyes I have about four pair of glasses, but I lost my favorite pair, which are the maroon red Excuse me my maroon red Louis Vuitton or my favorite No, they love you time or they facade you go to Versace maroon red Versace glasses that I love those and I missplaced them. Look My husband kept pouring me wine last night That's how we're gonna say child is this is a family family oriented channel and I woke up and was like Yeah, it was one of those nights like where are my glasses at?

So, yeah Lost my glasses can't find my glasses, but I did order some glasses from Firmoh Which I did I they reached out to me almost two years ago to do an interview or review for their glasses The glasses were great. It's just that the lenses were too thick So this time around I got the thinnest lenses and hoping that they'll be okay But baby, I need to find my other glasses because those are my favorite pair Like I said, even though the frames are old and those glasses are like 10 years old So I need to give it up, but I keep my old glasses y'all for this reason This is one of the reasons why I'm running errands today by myself because I've just about had it I am so ready for him to get back in school He's just been out of control y'all it's just And we have to keep him busy, you know I always believe in keeping your child busy and then when I tell you my patience is so thin has been so thin this summer So this summer has been a lot.

You got allergies all that which I do have Uh sites hypersensitivity Um products for them working on that working on a collaboration with miss arlett pender Working on another collaboration with a youtuber. So yeah, even though I'm not actively doing videos Which honestly, I'm glad I took a break because I wouldn't I wouldn't be able to do that while simultaneously working on these four or five projects not to mention that my husband's and I fair fair is In a couple more days. Um, and I'm also doing uh birthday stuff for miss wanda Yes And managing jayby's channel and working Yes, it's a lot, but it can be done. Um, if you stay organized and prioritizing so With that being said, I'm in my back room getting ready to uh lay out some of my goals And plan for next week. So I already took the liberty to I love this planner you guys. I'm working in the best year ever planner This is a happy planner and what I did is what's called franking plan I switched to a daily layout Which was really constricting. I'll show you an example This was the daily layout From another planner and I didn't like that because literally the days are these little bitty boxes whereas The other layout was this horizontal Layout that gave me more room two pages as opposed to the one. Okay um And then I kept the monthly goals area where I was able to Look at that. Isn't this pretty decorated for the month of august for my birthday month shout out to live by the time I load this up I'll load this up the first week of september So anyway, I'm going to be writing down my monthly goals probably tomorrow morning because right now I don't have the time I need to wash my hair today But that's what I decorated for so right now we're going to go into next week What is this? Yeah, so what I'm going to do Is a little bit more franking planning. So you see how here I have these daily tasks on this side I probably can't see that I don't need this page But then I have two three four five for this week. Well, I've already done this So what I'm going to do is take some double sided tape Ta-da, we're gonna talk a little bit about something y'all And take my craft scissors And I'll show you what it looks like when I'm done doing this So how y'all doing girl? Did y'all get fat over the summer like girl Y'all saw the fully rat was posting on instagram. I know y'all were thinking girl. We How the hell are you talking about um, you're gonna get summer fine and then you post a pound cake You you at raisin cane Before I start it's friday and I'm ready to swing way off key I'm it's friday drop JB off But y'all girl, I gained a little pounds But I'm slowly losing it. So I'm real quick. I put tape on this side and I'm just gonna Mesh these together mesh Lay it on top of each other. So it becomes one page Because I don't need those pages And this is what we have Frank implanted now. I have this one page. Okay So y'all girl, I got on the scale a couple of weeks ago. It said 170. I said the devil is a lie So I've been really watching it this week. I'm down to 167 excuse me y'all. I'm down to 167 And um, yeah, we'll get there. We'll get there slowly, but surely So now this is what my This is what I do. I take these out like this This is two So now I can plan these pages and I'm gonna take this side I'll do my goals. Like I said in the morning because right now I'm in a different head space different head space Uh-oh I need someone to beside. Yeah, I want to talk about something. I'll talk about a couple of things This is not gonna be um, I know a lot of out a lot of you look at me You know to cheer yourself up. Hell, I look at myself to cheer myself up too. I cheer my own thing. I'm self up um Well, we're gonna be talking about some serious stuff and I'm I'm late to the party on some of the discussions but You know boy, I tell you this day and age of social media everybody you can't do nothing There's always somebody looking somebody watching somebody recording so On another on the flip side too. I I often wonder why do we get so invested in other people lives like I don't have time baby. I I know some people they like that type of stuff But you also have to realize that you're wasting time When you get sucked so sucked into other people's lives case in point the madness that popped off with What is her name? Layla rashaan? um, nicole fought and murphy And her husband like there was even though it lasted on a little bit, you know that dilemma and like I said It's like four weeks later. But my thing is is that Why do we get so invested in that? You know people were doing videos about it You know other people got was chiming in on it But I will say that sparked a conversation about why I'm being cheap But I'm like, we are we already know why men cheat. It's on a case-by-case scenario But men cheap because they want to cheat And well, there's no reason to discuss it. They cheat because they want to cheat There's no reason. There's no it's not due to weight gain It it really doesn't have to do with let me let me say this because I know someone Wait rated PG 18. I know someone who was sexing her husband according to her They were having sex twice A day and he's still cheating And she's bad. Oh, well, she's bad. She's fine. Look at hailey berry Yeah, so y'all men she because they want to cheat there. There's no Reason to discuss and get into, you know, yeah, they gonna cheat because they want to cheat and of discussion It's a shame. It's sad, but um, now one thing I do want to say Lord have mercy Vivian One thing that I do want to say is that when I understand this is all I want to say about this Is that she met him when he was still married? That's the rumor that I heard that His wife his now wife met him when he was still married I do not I guess that he was separated but y'all I still don't agree with that So y'all the way I Decorate my planner is I find the theme that I want to go for instances my birthday Week it's gonna be a birthday theme Oh, yes, you know, you know, how us leos do it, baby Yeah, it's the birthday week. So I need to get it together. Um Yeah, did y'all hear that? That's my stomach. I'm intermittent fasting You know, I was talking to my girlfriend my best friend actually yesterday and I was telling her how You know the little way that picked up and she's like girl, just Keep doing what you're doing. Um, just start back. Don't complain about it. Just start by getting back on track. So She agreed with me that the most, um Realistic way to maintain weight and just lifestyle is an intermittent fasting. So back on that Um, we're gonna we're gonna use some of these. Isn't this cute? Yeah back on intermittent fasting, which means that I don't eat till what time is it? It's 8 30. I got two more hours It's 8 30 more hours Yeah, I know I have some birthday stickers in here I mean I purposely got picked them up from the Dollar Tree and now I can't find them, you know Did I show y'all my nails? I think I did I have to find my birthday stickers Let me turn off this camera y'all till I find them. Okay, because I'm wasting family I found them y'all I found them So I'm going to be using a mixture of these natural hair with the crown These I like these This is like not your typical birthday stickers and these isn't it cute? Um Do y'all do anything for yourself for the birthday for your birthday? Like are you the type to buy yourself? Something you know girl.

I just made up the words Y'all know what I'm what y'all talk what I'm talking about. Anyway y'all Look the highlight of my day is going to be watching Descendants 3 on the disney channel I know i'm a mess and that baby passed away one of the um actors he's young 24 years old he died of a seizure in his sleep Oh, yeah, I'm getting dizzy. It is humid out here in phoenix. I was Telling some people like this reminds me of being back home in texas. Um Yeah, y'all so This is what I'll get chatting. I got sidetracked. This is what it looks like so far So yeah, I'm not gonna be on here this entire time because I Is almost 20 minutes now Hey you guys, let me turn off the car I'm parked in front of um the dollar tree. I'm here at the dollar tree to pick up some things and look at my stuff y'all Y'all today has been a certain morning. This morning has been interesting. Um Well, first of all, let me back up and say this I am so over I've always been over the commercialization of these holidays Um, it used to be especially when I was growing up you would celebrate these holidays families would come together You would have certain traditions nowadays. I feel like every year it gets worse and worse and worse This year, for example My local dollar tree here. They already have Halloween decorations were up in july Americans feel built spend billions of dollars during the holiday season And then on the flip side of that murder murder goes up suicide goes up around the time So I a part of me feels like Isn't it supposed to be the time where we're supposed to be with our family give them back Why are we why are our priorities off? We're spending all this money Um, we're out trying to outdo people. We're going to all of these holiday parties that we really don't want to go to So I I guess my point is that I had already given jb a heads up as young as four years old In a very pc way and putting it into a way that he can understand, you know, I let him know You know, baby, this is this is fine, but soon we ain't gonna be doing it. So today The ripe old age or six and a half I told him I said jb This is this is the last year where we we where we will be celebrating especially halloween Halloween is out the door I said, as a matter of fact, we won't be giving you a lot of toys. You will get three toys like baby jesus No, seriously, like he will not be getting a lot of toys. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, everyone Let me open up the blinds It is saturday I mean my she room looking at I got my stuff last. This is a good thing about having your own space I got my birthday outfit laid out. Um, my birthday is not officially told tomorrow the 11th But who wants to do stuff that's who wants to do stuff on a sunday, you know what I mean? So we're gonna do stuff today saturday So i'm back here because i'm trying to y'all my makeup It's a little ridiculous. Um I don't know if this is normal It's not normal. You know, this beautiful palette. Look at this really really pretty I'm gonna be going in between this palette and the jacklyn hill Palette, um Yeah, I know I know y'all I'm gonna be going between that and the jacklyn hill palette says i'm wearing yellow I want to dip into this yellow here All right, you guys i'm gonna show you real quick My cake i'm making for us the birthday cake now this cake If you don't cook this is going to be a difficult recipe. Um And i'm really not going to go into everything because I want to carry I can get this in The oven and get it started. So let me show you What the ingredients are we have coconut milk coconut flakes two boxes of white coconut excuse me white White cake mix as you can see they're different brands. It really does not matter at the end of the day. Um, yeah So we have vanilla Rom oh, yes rom a bunch of kiwis. We have coconut cream pudding We have sugar. We have some good old butter eggs and oil So what i'm going to do is create a coconut rom Kiwi cake So the cake itself is going to be white cake once it's done cooking I'm going to be pouring over a rom punch holes in it once it's kind of cooled down I'm going to be making a rom coconut milk syrup Instead of adding water to the cake mix let me back up instead of adding water to the cake mix The liquid's going to be coconut milk and lime juice. Excuse me key lime juice. Okay Bump up the flavor also acts in vanilla I'm not going to add rum to the cake itself because jayby's going to be having some For the syrup i'm going to use coconut milk putting sugar and Rom and vanilla. Okay All right, you guys my cakes are done Um, this again is one and a half boxes. You just follow the instructions on How long to bake them for look i've been clicking long enough to what I can tell by this is kind of weird I can tell from the smell what I even check in it that the cake is done just by smelling it Um baking I can tell when it's done and this is definitely done Another way is you can see it's you can see really closely it's separating away from the pan. Okay Right now i'm getting ready to make the buttercream The key to a really good buttercream is to mix it for a long time because the longer you mix it air basically folds into the The butter itself So when I mean mixing for a long time first of all, I don't have a sand mixer. I just I don't know y'all I'm country. I don't know if you tell you I'm just using an old school hand mixer girls And so this is going to mix the butter by itself for five minutes And then I add some powdered sugar let that mix for an additional two minutes or so very simple I'm going to be using lime Vanilla I may pour a little bit a little bit of heavy cream like literally one tablespoon that just makes it fluffier This is what the coconut milk rum simple syrup looks like Um, and yeah, we're going to pour that over the cakes while they're still warm but not as warm as it is right now It is you guys the coconut key lime Rum cake I did not have enough icing to ice it all around but that's okay Improvised the top just put a little key limes on top for decoration Sorry y'all That is it a little bit of piping and that is it so good and it's pretty high JB has his excuse JB JB has his own little mini cake over there. Here is the outfit Pickle the shoes I turn around so you guys can see my hair Isn't that pretty? That's real pretty, huh Real pretty. Hey y'all it is officially my birthday day I am so blessed to spend Another year it is truly a blessing. I'm gonna stop here in a minute and pray like give all glory to the most high because so many people Didn't see today. Do you know what I mean? We know this that people are dying y'all left and right So I am very grateful to see another day see another year to make it to almost 40. I'm 39 39 and fine. Like I was feeling a certain type of way about turning 39 um I hadn't felt this way in a while since I turned actually when I turned I don't know what it is when I turned 29. I was feeling a certain type of way. I'm like, oh Oh, but I'm okay y'all. I'm okay girl. I've got over that real fast So we went out to eat yesterday last night at our favorite restaurant trash Trash our waiter was first of all he he ended up being a little good at towards the end Literally after we had a couple of drinks. We didn't care. Um Yeah, it was just not good and the service was poor and we this is our spot. Okay The service was poor. I'm so glad that I ordered. I ordered um chicken tortilla soup My husband felt bad. He kept offering his food up. I was like, no, I didn't eat your food, babe I'll I'm just glad that I had my chicken tortilla soup and then I got some cake at home. I'm good. I'll be good. So Yeah um Yeah, so today I will be cooking what I want to eat and if y'all don't know by now my two favorite foods I don't honestly it's just I'm trying to watch and I'm not making it at home.
