 Let's actually edit that out. Well, greetings and welcome to day one of Vlogmas. I know a lot of other people have vlogs up already because they do it in order of the uploads, but I'm doing it in order of the days. So December 1 to December 31, there will be a vlog for you guys. I'm going to vlog every single day. I'm not sure if I'm gonna upload every day or not. I'm on the fence about that. Today is day one. We're gonna get this party started. I'm actually in the parking lot of my office right now, leaving. I'm actually leaving a couple minutes early. But I'm actually gonna go to the bank on my way home because I drive for about 40 to 50 minutes one way every day. So I'm in the car for a while. Hence why I don't have like a jacket like my jacket is sitting over here. So anyway, I'm gonna run to the bank and when you see me, I will be back home. There's like this big dark spot over here like over here. Mmm. Anyway. Oh, speaking of dark spots. So in my favorites video, I just posted. I talked about this little ring light. It's like a clip thing. I actually had this like little viewfinder up above, which is why my eyes are always looking like above you guys, to make sure that everything's focusing. But my friend Jodi actually had a really good suggestion on Instagram to show like a before and after. So here's like the before with, well actually here, let's make it really real. Ho! There's the real before and then let me clip it on the top here. Bam! That is the first setting and there's three total settings. So there's two and then three, which is like super washed out. But like that's the lowest setting. But if you're like out somewhere that's really dark like a concert or like, I don't know, somewhere that's just dark, that would probably be really good. But anyway, this actually looks really funny. So currently, I am actually uploading my Friday video and I will show you guys what it is. Let me flip you around. So here's my Friday video. It's a holiday giveaway. I'm at 20% right now. It's not gonna be like loaded until tomorrow. But yeah, so there's my little thumbnail. So make sure to subscribe. Obviously, you're watching it on this channel. I don't know why I'm like talking about it. Anyway. But yeah, so I need to write out like all of my like rules for this giveaway, but I'm like totally at a loss. Like I don't know. The giveaway will actually be up way before this video. It will be up on the same day, but here I'll show you guys what you may win. But I'll leave a link to the giveaway video below if you're interested. So there is a sticker book. There is a sheet of stickers from Erin Condon. You get to pick which one you want if you like the falala or the holly berries. And then you get a couple of other little things as well. So I need to work on my description of what I want. I have no idea what I want you guys. No clue. And speaking of rules, I'm like definitely very much like a rule follower in life for the most part. I mean, you know, whatever. But I just, I can't, I don't know, I'm like having such a loss of like what to put in the rules. The first rule is you have to be subscribed to the channel and then you have to be a follower of mine on Instagram because actually it's the giveaway is being held at Instagram. Anyway, there's so many spammers on YouTube. It's just so hard to figure that out. But Instagram is a little bit easier, I'm having like a brain fart, just a brain fart. And this day has just been like really weird. Like it's the first day of Vlogmas and there's just been some weird stuff going on that's kind of concerning in like my personal life. But my personal life, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm fine. But there's just some things going on that have, has my head kind of going somewhere else today. So the idea of vlogging, like this is the first day of the vlog, like this is Anyway, my brain is like just like spaghetti and the dog is over there. I don't know, he's always smelling the carpet. Like I clean the carpet all the time. He's just always smelling. Hey Doyle, why don't you be on the vlog? You want to be on the vlog? Oh, what are you doing? But don't put your nose in there. You got, you got fur all over your face, all over the face. All right, so hopefully some of that footage of the dog came out. I don't really know. But um, yeah, he's, I don't know what his deal is. He just smells the carpet like all the time. And I'll, anyway, first day of Vlogmas, I wanted to talk about Vlogmas for a second. You guys are going to see me wearing the same thing like all the time. Like I get home from work, I throw my hair up in a ponytail and I put this sweatshirt on. This is my North sweatshirt. Let's see, can you see it? I can't tell because I've got this like ring light thing all over my thing. Um, this is from the Fargo clothing company. I talked about this in my last favorites video. So if you're interested, you can go check it out. But it's like super comfortable and like mega soft. But yeah, I mean, when I get home from work, I just kind of like lounge out. I mean, I go walk the dog and whatnot. And then I just kind of hang out. Um, nothing really crazy is going on tonight. I will be showing you like meal prepping and like that kind of fun stuff because I'm boring and whatever. But I eat like the same thing like every day because I'm single and I have to eat the same thing every day if I want to be like budget conscious, you know what I'm saying? So anyway, I think tomorrow I might actually make some tacos, which might be interesting. Oh, you know what I could do? So my holiday giveaway is uploading, but I needed to still do the description. I actually got an Amazon package yesterday that I didn't open yet. So why don't we open that together? That would be kind of interesting, right? This is going to get really boring. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh gosh, I think these are books. I think they're books. Like note to self. I need to get a box cutter. I mean, I have a box cutter, but it's in storage right now. But yeah, Amazon packages. What's in here, buddy? I'm going to move your snout. Don't get bopped. Woop, just got bopped. Yes! I got my tea. So here's the deal. This big box I can't find anywhere, like nowhere. I can't find it. So I have to get these like little dinky boxes. Actually, let me grab the dinky box. I'll show you. So here's the big box on Amazon. Here's a little stupid dinky box. I have to buy it like a target. I can't find the big box anywhere. For whatever reason in Fargo, I was able to find the big box, but whatever. Not here, apparently. Okay, and then I got my permanent maca pens from Pilot, my faves. I'll link all this stuff down below for you guys, too, if you are interested. This is what I use to write on all of my like vinyl stickers and stuff like that. And then I got two books. They're the same. They're the Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover. I got two of them. So one of the books is for a gift for a wedding that I'm going to be, hopefully, fingers crossed attending. In January, I haven't submitted my information for work yet or purchased my plane ticket yet, so I'm not 100% sure. So I'm like 90% sure I'm going. Either way, I have a gift. So I'm going to give them this as well as probably like a little gift card or something like that, too. I love this book, Total Money Makeover. It's totally my jam. And then I also have something that's going to be happening on my channel soon with one of these books, too. Can you guess what it is? Can you guess? Can you guess? Can you guess? But it's always handy to have another Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover book around, you know? You never know when someone might need it. And I cannot tell you how many of these I've actually purchased on Amazon. It's been a lot. It's been a lot. So yay, I'm so excited about all my little things I got. And I got my scissors, too. And I now have enough tea because I use two of those tea bags like per day. So I was going through like so much of it because, let me show you, like this little one has 20 bags. Whoops. Can you see? Those 20 bags. It's not going to focus. But that's 10 days. Get it together. So now I got the best view. Hi, Doidee. What you doing, little guy? Doyle's going to be all over these vlogs. I hope you guys like Doyle. If you don't, I'm sorry. You're going to do something for the camera? Maybe one of the days we'll show everybody all the tricks that you can do. Can you do the tricks? Can you do the tricks? He can. He actually can do tricks pretty well, which is nice. All right, so for the rest of the night, I need to go back into that room and figure out my life for the contest rules. You guys got to follow the rules. By the time you see this, that video will already be up. I'm going to link it below if you guys want to enter and do all that good stuff, too. So anyway, all right. Doyle says goodbye. I say goodbye as well. Thank you so much for watching my first vlog of Vlogmas. There is going to be, I don't know if there's going to be a video every day, but I'm going to vlog every single day. My goal is to do the video every single day. I'm not sure about that yet. But since I work full time, there is going to be some weird lapses in time, or it's going to be all chunked together kind of like today, because I'm really only vlogging when I'm at home. I'm not really going to be vlogging at work because that's just kind of weird. So anyway, if you want to see more vlogs like this, make sure to give it a thumbs up as well as hit that subscribe button. Let's me know you want to see more content from me because it's so thrilling. Wow, that was awkward. Like, things are getting awkward and things are getting boring and I... Okay, so the dog is distracting me with his cuteness, so I better go. Thank you so much for hanging out with me for a little part of the day. I will be back and I will talk to you guys later. Bye!
