 Hi guys, welcome to another vlog. I feel so weird with my head caught up right now. Well, I'm really tired. I just landed in Nashville. I'm in my rental car and it is 11.30. I'm not checking into my Airbnb until 4 p.m. So I'm gonna have a nice little solo day in Nashville. I have been really enjoying taking myself on solo dates these days. Guys, I actually like to look crazy. Anyways, I just landed in Nashville for the week. Hope you guys are enjoying this vlog week. I'm posting daily Monday through Friday. But I landed in Nashville. I'm here for the week. Nashville is probably my favorite city in the world besides Dallas. Like it's the only other place I would move to which we'll be talking about later in this vlog week. But I just love this city. Like it feels like home to me. I don't know how to describe it. Look, you get the same feeling that I feel about Texas. I don't feel this way about LA. And I did at one point. I don't know. I just have this very strong feeling towards Nashville. And I love it here. It's so beautiful. It's obviously full of country music, which is what I love. But anyways, I landed earlier today. My check-in for my Airbnb isn't until 4 p.m. I don't have any recordings today. And I decided I'm gonna take myself on a nice solo date to Franklin. I have never actually been to Franklin. Every time I come to Nashville, I'm either with a group of people or I'm here for work very quickly and I have no time to myself. So I really wanted to prioritize this week. I'm here Tuesday to Sunday. Having time by myself, I rented a car so I can like go and do things that I like and see what my life is like here. You know what you mean? I'm in myself to Franklin right now. I'm really excited. I honestly just want like a chill fall day. It feels so good out here. I will say I'm very tired. I got home from a dinner very late last night and I slept like five hours. And I'm exhausted. So I need to put a little pep in my step. Think I'm going to the Bluebird Cafe later which I've always wanted to do but never been able to do it even though I've been to Nashville time. And if you guys watched Nashville the show, you would know, which is also my favorite show ever. I miss Reyna James. So anyways, stay tuned. Hope you guys enjoyed the vlog and I'm taking you guys along on my solo date. What I do when I'm spending a day alone which has been extremely helpful for me, I'm in the middle of doing the artist's way. If you don't know what that is, I'm not gonna bore everyone by explaining it again. So just Google it. It's a book, it's 12 of the challenge, amazing. And I took my solo dates once a week so y'all are coming with. Guys, I cannot say Franklin without thinking about this Paramore song. I grew up on this album. Fun fact, when I was younger and this was like early Warped Tour days my cousin toured with them and it was like actually the coolest thing that ever happened to me up until maybe now actually. At least 15 I would say. But anyways, love, throw it back to the red couch if you know you know. All right guys, sorry for the setup. We're just making do. Doing a little taste test from Frothy Monkey. I got a seasonal drink and I'm totally forgetting what I got. Very good. I also got real milk. I don't know, I'm kind of like becoming a little anti like fake milk. Not really. I also say milk, milk, whatever. It's good. I'm just really sensitive to iced coffee so sometimes it like makes it sick. Still drink it every day. My mom used to own a bedding company downtown McKinney and this is like literally what it looks like. It's like I'm five again in her store. I don't know. Me again guys. It is now 2 p.m. I'm really crashing. My plan is good about 8 p.m. But I am like so tired right now. I had a great little afternoon or noon 2 p.m. I don't know. I had a great time downtown Franklin. It was so cute. It reminds me a lot of my hometown square downtown McKinney. Very, very cute. It was just really relaxing and I got to finish my book. I did some reading and some journaling classic. I just finished City of Likes by Jenny Mullen. It took me like a few tries to get into the book. I'd gotten the sample and it just like wasn't my time to read the book. I think it wasn't in the mood but it ended up being a really easy read. It was always, I have two hours until I can check into my Airbnb and I decided I want to like drive around and look at like beautiful homes. It's one of my favorite things to do. I love doing that in Dallas. Like it is just amazing. And I really love homes in Texas and homes in Tennessee. So I want to drive around, see some houses, listen to some music. And actually Morgan Yates, old, very weaving friends forever, friend of mine texted me and is like I'm also a natural. So the whole day isn't going to be so low but I took you guys to like a still afternoon because now that Morgan's here, we're going to go and we're going to do the Bluebird Cafe tonight, early evening, literally a grandma special. That's like my, that's my weeknight. I'm also like really on a Marcus King kick and he's actually performing at the Rhyman this week. So hopefully I can go to that. I think on Thursday we'll see my plans but I'm like so obsessed. If you're somebody that doesn't really like country that much but you like like calming music to play throughout your house. Definitely recommend. Like he's not, I think anyone would like this music. You don't have to like country to like him. It's really, really good. Okay, I just pulled into this neighborhood and it's very cute. I'm just driving around, getting a feel if you will. I wish I would have filmed the entrance because it's actually so beautiful. You can't even tell how pretty it is in person. I want to go across the street too. I don't have that much time because my plans actually got moved up. But like everything is just so cozy here. I love it. I just love all of the trees. I'm in a new neighborhood now. Like some people might think this is creepy but we all do it, okay? Beautiful homes. It's actually one of my favorite pastimes to just drive around and look at homes. I just love how open it is and the hills, the trees, the leaves changing colors. It's so beautiful. I wish you guys could see like actually how beautiful it was in person and they have like really big lots which honestly I have recently been missing the suburbs which is kind of crazy because I mean I didn't think I'd expect that. I love that house. Last week I drove to my grandma's and as someone who has always said or has said recently in the past few years that I just will always live in Dallas proper. Like the actual city, oh my God guys let me just pull it really fast so you guys can see how beautiful this is. It is just stunning. So as someone who the past couple of years has really been sat on living in Dallas proper forever I'm like, listen, I might be on the suburbs. Okay, this is just like so beautiful but it made me like really miss it and then I loved growing up in the suburbs. It was such a great time. Guys, this is so beautiful. No one's on the road so it doesn't even matter but wow. Look who's here. Lauren's here as well. I haven't seen more than like a long time. Like six months probably. Yeah, or like a year or I don't know. It's not been a year. A few months. I feel a little bit dramatic, yeah. So what do we do? Oh, we went to Cincinnati Airport. I checked in for a movie. A mile for it. Oh, finally, good. And I did say I wasn't doing anything at all tonight and now I'm on my way to Broadway. So, but Stephen's playing tonight so I have to stop by to say hello to friends. I'm a social girl. What am I to do? What am I to do? If you weren't in town right now I would be sleeping right now. I'm in honor. Because I'm exhausted, but anyways, I barely changed. This is it. All right, guys, it's 8.30 and I'm now home. Got to see Morgan and catch up, which was really great and also somehow ended up on Broadway and my friend Stephen was playing and got to see him. If you guys are ever actually in Nashville, I'm on Broadway. Go to Whiskey Row, go see Stephen. He's the bus that I sent you. I have a lot of work that I need to do tonight and I also want to sell him. I might want to wash my hair. I can't tell. I just haven't been having, I don't know. I feel like maybe I'll wash it tomorrow. Maybe that's a tomorrow job. Anyways, time for an Airbnb haul. Actually, I had two margaritas and I just thought I'm gonna give you an Airbnb haul. Tour, okay, goodbye. All right, you walk in and this attaches to the bathroom but we'll end there. Come in here. You have a nice little laundry machine, little hookup. I'm just, I'm also just like so tired that like that's really what's happening right here. I have my cute little kitchen, little breakfast like nook thing. I actually haven't opened this. I don't think I can. I don't know if I can, so whatever. Here I have my fridge. I don't know if anything's in here. Nope, nothing is in here. So nice. Besides, of course, my skin and confidential ice roller. Couldn't forget that. Then we have my kitchen over here. We have the coffee. We have my cute little living room area. I have a lot of space on its way. And then out here, you can go outside and I have a balcony, which is really awesome. Especially in the morning. Like maybe I'll like sit out here and have my coffee. It's really great. I just love natural so much. Like I actually get emotional when I'm here which is like so stupid. I just love it so much. Then this is my bedroom. I'm here until Sunday and I wanted an Airbnb because we'll talk about it tomorrow. I just wanted to see what it would feel like if I would live here, if you know what I mean. So great. This is my closet. I'm actually about to unpack everything. I'm a big unpacker these days. Love my extra pillows. Everything for my suitcase. Extra hanger is great. And then here's a bathroom that has great lighting. And then a great shower. Love that. That was an Airbnb tour. Not at all. I'm gonna shower, get into my pajamas and then unpack and stuff. And I will catch up with you guys in like an hour. I just tanned and I got in my pajamas. I made a mistake because I was overpacking and I decided I'm only gonna bring one pair of pajamas for the week. Because like I go to bed and I wake up and that's it, like I shower and then I wear them whenever they're clean. And I forgot that I was in a self tanned. So yeah, that's unfortunate. Anyways, I wanted to show you guys the one thing that I picked up today when I was shopping. My bag, like I said, was packed. And it was actually 52 pounds. But thank God I am so friendly because it let me through. No extra charge and they didn't make me do that. You know how embarrassing it is when you have to like unpack your suitcase and take things out because it's over 50 pounds. Thank God I didn't have to endure that today. Anyways, I got these coasters. These Dolly Parton coasters. Also, sorry, I don't actually look like that crazy at all. It's just the lighting, but. These coasters are so beautiful. Mia's Dolly. I love them. They're so cute. They're so fun. I am getting a ton of new things from my house in Texas. I ordered all new rugs last night. By the way, I don't even think I've vlogged about that. And I'm just like, you know, I ordered some pillows. Like we're doing some things there, okay? So tonight I'm just going to prep for tomorrow's episodes. I'm recording with Danny, Reina, and then a solo podcast in my fall cozy era. Very excited. I need to make sure all that's prepped. And then I'm gonna read and go to bed early because I want to be very well rested for tomorrow because I need more recordings to be the best they possibly can be. So, gonna give myself done. Hope you guys enjoyed my partially solo day in Nashville was mainly solo. I just like love the city so much. I can't even describe it. Like it actually sounds stupid, but when I'm here I'm gonna cry because I just love it so much. I feel a little bit about Dallas too, that'd be fair. No one else really. New York is like kinda close actually. I do love New York, but anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. Subscribe and stay tuned for tomorrow's vlog. We're back with three more vlogs this week. Vlog week, hope you guys enjoy. Oh, by the way, this is the story I got these coasters from in case you were wondering. Love you guys so much and I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
