 Good morning guys, welcome back to another Monday vlog. I have not done a Monday vlog in so long. I used to do these vlogs all the time because Mondays were like my really productive work from home days back in college in LA. And there's still productive days and this is a very true Monday because I have my groceries that just arrived so I need to go get those from downstairs. I have some planning I need to do, we've got work to do, I'm gonna clean. It's gonna be a productive vlog. So I hope you guys enjoy. Be sure to subscribe if you guys haven't already. It's 8 a.m., I've been up for a few hours. I actually worked out which normally I would work out like in the evening but it was pouring rain this morning so I couldn't hit the dogs on a walk anyways which is what I normally do in the morning. I just did 12 through 30 who's shocked. Also a comment below if you guys are also doing 12 through 30, like Lauren Dorado literally started a revolution. I wanna talk to you guys about the sponsor of today's video. All of these opinions are truly my own. I don't work with any brand that I don't love I really, really love these products. The first two I just need to share with you. I'm working with Vagamar by the way which is a vegan wellness brand. They have hair products, they have products to your brows, they have products to your eyelashes. They're serums, I actually have CBD in them. I actually just put this in my hair as my last step. I just take one full droplet of this and then I put it on my hands and I just like run it through my hair. Helps with hair growth so if you want your hair to be fuller, if you're experiencing any bald spots I've seen online, so many crazy before and afters of people and I'm like, oh my gosh. Hi Feds, are you guys crying at that face? He's just smiling, so cute. My hair grows pretty quickly, like it's not the worst thing ever but it sheds really, really, really bad. So that's like one of the reasons, I mean I'm excited for my hair to grow even more. I cut it when I went blonde-er and I just wanted it to be longer so that's one thing and then the second thing I am really excited about the shedding. All these before and afters guys are literally insane. So I'm excited to take you guys through what I have. The first two products that I'm gonna share with you are just my two faves. So this is a scalp massager. Like this is the treatment you get in a salon. It's so good, you can see you obviously just massage your scalp with it in the shower. It feels so freaking good. What do I always say that Brian Boy says? Why don't I just forget it? Elevate your everyday experience, that's what I said. The second thing, this product is my newest like go-to, go-to, go-to hair product. As you guys know, I've shared this so many times I have really bad product buildup and my hair is just really fine so it just happens pretty easily and this is the grow scalp detoxifying serum. So what you do, part your dry hair, you just put it on your scalp, massage it into your head for like one to two minutes and then let it sit for five to 10, go in the shower, wash it off and guys, you know how clean your hair feels when you leave the salon again? Always referencing the salon. But you know what I mean? How clean and perfect and like weightless it feels. That's how I felt after using this last night. It was the best thing ever. I've tried so many other products for it as well and like nothing, nothing compares to this. I'm telling you, you need to get this. I'm showing you the wrong side. You need to get this because it is the absolute best. It's really, really great. Then I've just been using the revitalizing shampoo and revitalizing conditioner. Basically their products restore, retain and renail. The packaging is really, really pretty. I love the products, very like luxurious, lux. Vagamar has changed my hair. It's just feeling so good. I've definitely noticed my hair fall out being way less. So normally when I do this, there's no hair as you can see but normally when I do that, it's so much hair. It's vegan and cruelty free. I'm loving their products. My hair is loving their products. Seriously, it just feels so good. So you guys can click the link below to get a discount with Vagamar. So getting on with my day, I need to go get my groceries from downstairs and put them away. Update on the house situation. We have not made any decisions yet as far as like what we're gonna do with fixing the water damage. I think we might, between like today and tomorrow, once that happens, then it takes another five days and then it'll happen. So it's gonna be within the next like two weeks probably, I think I'm gonna move into a hotel. So it'll be super fun. With that being said, the thing that is making so much noise downstairs, oh guys, you will not believe this. They left this here, right? And they were like, oh well it's worse than we thought. So we have to leave and we'll come back whenever, whatever, right? They leave something here. They don't tell me anything about a cause, nothing about leaving anything here at all. They, and they're trying to take advantage of me because I'm a young girl, right? They then try to say that they were been charging me $500 a day. This thing has been here for like two weeks. To keep this fan. And I was like, that's absolutely, that's literally absolutely not happening. So long story short, I just got a text, hi Ms. Kinsey, I'd love to come by today and pick up the machine that's working there if there's a time that works for you. We will not be charging you for those days. I'm like, oh my gosh, like the fact, I talk with this all the time in videos, but like the amount that like grown men try to take advantage of young girls is absolutely ridiculous. Also, I haven't even wanted that machine to be together because it makes so much noise. At some point today, the noise will be gone, which is exciting. So I'm gonna clean up really quick and then we're gonna go get groceries. Look at the pups, so cute, so cute girl. Fitz is just as happy as can be. His groomer is closed the next two days. So we are here with smelly Fitz. Ah yes, home sweet home, but that annoying fan is going today. Thank God. Okay guys, here's my grocery haul. By the way, I got a quote for the kitchen and I think I'm totally good with the quote. So this will be happening within the next few months, but this is finally gonna be extended for bar stools. I really wanna get a sectional couch here. I realize I honestly never sit at this couch. I never use this area anymore, but I use sectionals. So I think it's worth it. And I really want one that kind of looks like the cloud couch, but isn't the cloud couch obviously. So I don't know. Once this is moved, then I can measure and see what I wanna do, but that is going to be on the agenda for this year. I just wanna make it something that I use more often. I'm also gonna get a fireplace installed somehow. I've been doing a lot of research on Pinterest, but when this kitchen gets read out, it'll be amazing. Also having bar stools will change the game because it's just more like counter space and like things that I actually use, you know? This is my favorite bread, Dave's bread. I got this apple butter. I can't remember why. It was from one of the recipes that I'm making this week. I got some just chicken breast for some sandwiches. Blueberries, this yogurt is the best yogurt you'll ever have in your entire life. And I'm not really like a yogurt gal necessarily. Oh, I forgot granola. Oh well, it's fine. But this is so good. Like cannot recommend it enough. Cashews, flavor-basic goldfish, you know? And then strawberries. I got Primal Kitchen, cilantro lime, dressing and marinade with avocado oil, some cheese because I'm making chili, corn tortillas, the best kind. I always just like to have sweet potato fries like in the freezer. And I felt like I was out of them. I got some bell peppers, chocolate-covered almonds. So good. Ground turkey and then ground chicken. I got some beans, lots of avocados because I eat them every morning and then I also use them as snacks. So I literally got eight for myself. Let's see if I eat them all this week. I mean, I'm gonna have to, I just bought them. Some chili powder, some beans, tomato paste, and my other guilty pleasure snack. So that's what I got. Pretty much healthy besides, you know, my snacks and healthy is about balance. You know what I mean? Toast, had some breakfast, made some coffee. We're just playing with the tree baton. Oh, hi, dude. This is how Coco eats her food. Also, the bed is so cute. It's from home kids. I don't know how to describe it. I just don't feel like I look like myself today. Anyways, I mentioned previously in last week's vlog where I was talking about work anxiety a little bit that writing things down physically has been helping me a lot lately. I know this probably sounds like an obvious one to some of you guys, but I do pretty much everything digitally. So like my Google calendar and then I use my notes out for literally everything. I started writing things down physically and this wasn't the journal that I planned on using forever but this was just what I had. So I started using this. Wow, cannot just recommend it enough to you. But I got journals that I think are cute. This says Kensie Elizabeth on it and some layout. So I'm gonna go ahead and go through it and plan out my week, what I have to do and then use this for notes. So this will probably be like to-dos, just random things that I need to do. We have a shoot for the living room next week. This is actually a pretty busy week. My last week I have by myself in this house. I have a very, very busy week next week. So I need to get like double the work done. So I'm gonna get to the rest of my planning. Normally I'll have this done before the work day which I pretty much do because that in itself gives me anxiety to like go into the work day and not know what I'm doing. I already have a plan. I'm recording and doing things today. But I just wanna fill this out and have everything together. So I know what I'm doing and so I feel better. And then I have a call with Carly at 10. We call every Monday. I'm just going over like what we need to do. So I'm gonna get to work. Happy Monday. I just had my first call and it is only, it's 10.30. I just cannot focus. I've been off for so long and I've done my whole productive morning routine, the whole thing. And I might just go on a little like 20 minute walk, listen to a podcast and then get back to it. I don't have a recording for like another hour and a half. Because I just feel like I'm not being like efficient right now. I just literally was on the meeting and I'm like, I don't know why I cannot focus. So, oh, but really quickly, I did map out my week in this planner and then I used my notebook and I just went through to do. So like today's to do, tomorrow to do. I have a call tomorrow with someone that I'm kind of doing like research from. So I mapped out some questions that I wanna ask them and just writing things down physically has really helped with my feeling of being like overwhelmed at work. But I think I'm gonna take the dogs on a quick little walk. I just went on a little like 15 minute walk and I feel so much better. I listened to Oprah's Super Soul Sunday. So the walk did help. I went back to the office and knocked some stuff off and knocked some stuff out. And knocked some stuff out, okay. I am recording today and I just felt like I needed a little drink, a little treat. I feel like my days for the past month or so have been the exact same every day. So I'm just trying to like switch it up a little bit, you know? I feel like a cold brew would probably be bad for me right now. Listen to Lennon Stella, the sunroof down. Have a nice day. Thank you, have a good day. Okay, I got a Venti Ice Peach Green Tea Lemonade. It looks really good, it tastes good. Oh my God, this is so good. Oh my gosh, guys. I'm back home with the world's best tea from Starbucks. Again, everyone, that is the Ice Peach Green Tea Lemonade. But instead of green tea, it was black tea. I don't think I said that before. The barista told me to do this and I trusted him with my life because he's so freaking nice. Like this barista at Starbucks, I feel like they're all fairly nice, but this one barista I just recognized his voice and I honestly, I've gone twice this year. What a guy, like he's just so nice. Like I was saying, I trust him with my life. Also it's like really nice outside and normally I prefer gloomy weather and it's been gloomy, but it feels really good out today. You know what? I really am my father's daughter, part 783, because I just realized that this book, my dad sent me his podcast the other day. I didn't even put that together. As we know, I'm really good about reading fiction books. It's currently January, it's currently January 25th and I am on my 10th book of 2020. But I wanna go back into reading some nonfiction books and I think I might go sit out on my rooftop. Oh, you know what it poured last night, I don't think that's gonna happen. But I would love to sit outside and just read a few chapters a day. I almost wanna like incorporate that into my work day because it's like bettering my work. You know what I mean? Anyways, I'm going to record this week's episode for my podcast if you guys didn't know my podcast. So it's gonna be a what I'm learning episode which you guys used to love and I haven't done one in over a year. Then at the end, I literally can all talk today. At the end of this episode, Danielle will come on which are also recording today. I am so like distracted today but we recap this past month's book club. A lot of you guys ask how to join the book club. Basically, I have a book club for the podcast. So every month we all read the same book and on the last Thursday of that month, I will recap it into like a little book club episode towards the end of the episode. So you just read along and listen to the episode. I just cannot get over how good this drink is guys. Also being outside puts me in the best mood and this office just gets the worst natural lighting ever. I have been working on this week's episode for hours and I've recorded my like 25 minute portion of it and I just cannot get it right. So I've moved to my room and I'm going to rerecord it. I just finished recording with Danielle and I'm just going to get it done. I know I'm going to get it done and getting excited. And then once I do this, I'm pretty much done for my work day today. I'm trying to like really space things out and not try to do too much in one day. All right, I'm done. I spent probably like five hours recording that episode. So I hope you guys listen. I just kept redoing it and the way over thinking it and then feeling like I couldn't get what I was trying to say across, whatever. Now it is time to clean. Cleaning always makes me feel so much better and I just need to do laundry and then like vacuum wipes and stuff, things like that. First I'm going to take off my makeup and doing a little bit of skincare or something this afternoon as I do my laundry. Comment below what your favorite household chore is. I would rather like do the dishes than do laundry. Honestly, just because of probably having to carry it so far, but. We have semi-good news. The noise is gone. Update everyone, no idea on that, but I did get a quote as I mentioned in another something for the kitchen. So the plan is to do a cool course that looks like marble, but it's not marble because I've not made money. Since I moved in, the plan has been to redo the kitchen for the longest time and I just haven't gone around to it and things like the water damage keep popping up, you know? But I'm going to do the same backsplash encounters. I really love that look. It's only 4 p.m. and I was about to start on dinner just because I felt like cooking and then I realized that the recipe that I was going to make involves a slow cooker, so it takes six hours. So we're not doing that tonight. And the other recipe I have for this week is tacos and I already have that for lunch so I'm just going to do a dash. I have do a dash credit. I'm actually just going to catch up on some vlogs and then actually start editing this one. It is only four, so it's not like I'm really done with work or anything like that, but let's do a pull. When my kitchen is redone and you know, obviously the haunted house goes away and I have like a bar stool and actually a work area in my kitchen, do you guys think that I'm going to end up working down here more than my office because there's more natural lighting here? And then do you think that I should make my office a closet room? But I don't really feel like I need a closet room. What should I do? I just feel like I'm not utilizing my space enough and it's like driving me crazy. Can you guys tell me because I talk about it 24 seven? Okay, well, I'm going to get back to work. I was waiting to end today's vlog until my food came and my food arrived and I ate it all and I forgot. So I just ordered chop chop for dinner, but that is it for my Monday in my life vlog. Hope you guys enjoyed. I'm sure a lot of you guys can probably relate to feeling like distracted and whatever we're working from home, especially right now. But I love you guys. Hope you guys enjoyed the vlog. Don't forget to check out Vagamore's products. So have them down below and you guys can use that link for a discount. Hi Fitz. Okay, well, that is it for this vlog. Hope you guys enjoyed and I'll talk to you soon. Bye. I do feel like in our generation, everything revolves around alcohol though. And that's something that I feel like I struggle with as well because I am really passionate about health and wellness and I know how it affects me in a negative way. And I do feel pressured sometimes that I can't say no. Like, oh, I don't want to get a drink at dinner with my friends because I don't want people to say stuff. Like I know my friends would be so supportive and they wouldn't make me feel bad about it.
