 Welcome back to another YouTube video. I'm really excited about this vlog even though I don't really know what is gonna be in the vlog but right off the bat I am in our new home in Florida which is really really exciting. Tommy who is my boyfriend plays professional tennis and he has to be in Florida to practice. A lot of professional tennis players live in Florida. Tennis is a sport that's very different from a lot of sports for many reasons but one of them being that he has to live around people who are really good because when he practices he hits with other players they need to be really good players but anyway so that's why Tommy lives in Florida. Tommy has lived in Florida pretty much his whole life. He's from North Carolina but went to USTA which is the tennis academy and tennis program in the States for the top juniors and yeah he grew up in Florida and so he's here and he's been looking for a house since before we started dating and it was really hard to find kind of the perfect spot. That's a really exciting new little update if you guys didn't know but yeah you will be seeing me here quite a bit. I do plan on spending a good chunk of time here but so I landed in Florida on Thursday from Antucket and then Tommy and I moved into the new house on Friday and then Tommy left for Cabo on Saturday so Tommy was literally in the new house for a day and we had like a little barbecue Tommy and I went shopping for some kitchen stuff we had like a good little night in the new house and then Tommy had to leave right away which was kind of crazy but that's just tennis they don't have an off season they're always at tournaments so he left and I decided to not go to the Cabo tournament which was kind of funny because Cabo is one of like the nicer locations for a tennis tournament and I didn't go this year but maybe next year I'll go but I decided to stay here at the house and just help with furniture being delivered to help get set up Wi-Fi just like the little things because the end of my August is insane and I'm not going to be able to help that much at the end of August so I thought I would stay and just help him in any way that I could and get the house kind of set up and settled you guys know that I'm like the biggest homemaker ever I love homes and spaces and decorating and making places feel like home so I'm really excited to make this place feel like home that being said this house could not be different than my home in Connecticut but it's kind of exciting I don't know I obviously love more of like a farm style New England cottage more wood in the house sort of vibe that is definitely like my first preference but in tropical warm weather places that just doesn't really exist because the wood would literally rot so I think in warm weather places a more modern house is better especially in Florida there weren't many houses that were really our style so yeah this house is very cool it's definitely more mid-century modern but I find it really exciting I could have my more like cottage e-home in Connecticut and then this be completely different so I kind of get the best of both worlds so I'm really grateful for that also the kitchen is much more open I will show you guys but the kitchen is much more open and much better for having people over and Tommy has a big team here who we're all very close with they already were here for a barbecue and he has a lot of friends so that will be fun to kind of like entertain and cook for big groups because I don't do that often in Connecticut yeah I'm really excited to be here and to make content here I actually didn't know when I was gonna start this vlog because we've been so busy and just like running around getting the house set up and I'm probably not gonna do like an empty house tour I don't think I'm gonna show you guys once things like start getting delivered and I do want to show you guys like parts of the house but you guys will see the place like evolve and I'll be sharing it on my socials and definitely sharing more on YouTube but yeah I wasn't sure when to start this vlog and my days have been really random but I thought I would pick up my camera today because we are gonna go run a few errands I'm gonna film a cooking video for Dairy Boy Kitchen so I need to run to Whole Foods so yeah I'm gonna run to Whole Foods and then and then we want to go to Crate and Barrel anyways yeah we're gonna do some errands today so I thought I would pick up my camera and start the vlog even though I don't really know like what I'm gonna be doing I like to have kind of like a plan with my vlogs now but there's not really gonna be a plan on this one but yeah today I went got coffee in a cyborg I got my nails done for the first time in a long time which was kind of nice I have a Olaplex mask in my hair right now I actually have a meeting oh literally right now that three so I have to go hop on this meeting I'm gonna head out and then I'm gonna film the cooking video and then we're gonna run the rest of the errands so yeah yeah the only thing in the bedroom that's they delivered are the side tables and yeah but the whole house has all of these like windows everywhere these like huge windows so pretty and this is like the living room that I'm in and yeah it's very echoey right now because there's no furniture also my mom is here guys I forgot to say that I was gonna be here alone all week and I wanted company and my mom was free so she came in to help me but yeah she's been here to be company and we've been just like getting settled and running errands and all that stuff do you have a space to put all the boxes hi guys and we're gonna send the pop-up address because it's up to the date yeah yeah that's number one and number two hats apples are ready yeah we get sent that sample so we can make adjustments to that one even if it's not right cool so I really wanted brass silverwares but Tommy said it was too girly so we went with those I really like these ones like they're not called salad servers like that's not what we used to call them I think I'm gonna go with these and then I wanted a wooden salad bowl this one is pretty okay cute so if you guys didn't know Kramerl has the best glassware and it's all super affordable so for every apartment I've ever had oh these are so cute for every apartment I've ever had I've always got my glassware from either CB2 or Kramerl but they just have the cutest cutest glassware I've shared these on my Instagram story a million times these classic ones they also come with lids which is really nice for like salad dressings but yeah probably gonna eventually get these for the kitchen because it matches the other wood that we have for flour sugar and oats and stuff haul for you guys baking and cheese these are some flour tortillas for tonight I like corn tortillas my mom likes flour so got her flour and then I had a bunch of my favorite teas English breakfast, chamomile and chai and I got some spices that we didn't have I got chili powder, red chili flakes and cumin, got honey, red onion for the pico de gallo, then I got some sandwich meat for the week, some Roma tomatoes got some Mexican blend cheese and then the bacon and the steak for tonight that I need to marinate very soon and then lastly I just got this flour vase for the hydrangeas I'm gonna put all this away now and then I'm gonna start cooking gonna start marinating the steak and I have to like film a whole video so I will check back in with you guys once I start cooking okay guys just finished making my steak tacos you want to see the full recipe you can go look on Dairy Boy Kitchen or like the video that I made so good good morning guys I just went over my responsibilities on Monday it's the software that my business uses to like to-do lists campaign trackers projects all that so I go through every morning and every night to look at my responsibility so I just did that and then went over some gifting with my admin assistant little meeting with a brand that I'm shooting an ad for this week I'm really really excited about it so that's cool but I'm gonna do a little bit of makeup all you have on right now are the illuminating bronzing drops by tan loss you guys know I love these I don't like wearing makeup but I'm on a call or something I'll put these on so I think I'm just gonna do a little bit of foundation I'm just gonna use my L'Oreal in valuable pro glow you guys know I love this stuff I'm just gonna use like a little bit of it in this box that I would normally use concealer click like it's more natural looking but my mom and I are gonna run out into some errands my mom's leaving tonight so want to do some errands with her I feel like I look a little bit red in the camera right now but I'm really not okay I changed the camera setting and I'm not red anymore I just look like natural this combo looks so then I'm just gonna go in with my graph topian palette this is like my very very natural makeup look the graph topian palette as you guys know I use it all the time but it's just so natural it is actually foundation it's not concealer but it's like fuller coverage so gonna warm up my face a little bit with the Clinique chubby stick this chubby stick is honestly like kind of orange but not in a bad way I don't know if you guys can tell I kind of use it as a blush like a bronzer blush and then called deep maple literally the packaging is all worn off it's like a nub I really need to wear another one like I've also had this for so long like it's probably so unsanitary but I always put this on my eyes and my cheeks and then I'm just gonna throw a little bit of powder bronzer then I'm gonna go in with this actually eyeliner I used to do this like back in the day on my YouTube but this is my favorite favorite eye cold pencil by Mac the shade is Costa Riche it's much smoother than lip liner normally is like it blends a lot easier probably because it's literally not a lip product but I feel like it's super natural looking and pretty then I'm just gonna curl my lashes okay guys something I've realized but I want to share with you guys is that when I do these more natural bronzy makeup looks that I wear all throughout the day I feel like when you don't wear mascara your makeup can kind of like slowly you know at the end of the day where your makeup's like kind of come off like it doesn't look as full coverage you know it's just the end of the day makeup I feel like it still looks pretty throughout the day when you use bronzers on your eyes and don't use mascara like mascara never ages well throughout the day and I know that I'm lucky that I have very dark eyelashes so I can kind of do that and get away with it but I think even if I didn't have dark lashes I would tint them so I didn't always have to wear mascara because I feel like makeup just like wears prettier throughout the day without mascara on like I love wearing mascara out but throughout the day I just like I don't know I kind of like a no mascara look okay just put some lip tint on okay max 6 plus it's running out okay here is my like natural little makeup look for the day okay I just realized I have to film a quick ad for L'Oreal which I love because I literally just used a L'Oreal product on my face okay this is the lip color that I shot on my ad I really really love it you guys know I love L'Oreal and this is in tropical vacay 210 so you can get it like anywhere target CVS but yeah also guys I was just shooting these but this is the one I've been using for like months but our new makeup pouches by the time this video goes up they will have dropped they're so cute I'm obsessed with them they're like adorable these are the old ones but yeah if you guys want to grab a makeup pouch I'll leave the link in the bio I'm just gonna put on my sneakers and then we're gonna run out I really want to get a desk and like organize the office because I've been working from the kitchen which is fine but like my camera stuff and my work stuff is just like all over the

whole team is so great I get along with all of them really well and they're just all really good people but he was so sweet he invited me to the beach to watch he said something about a moon I think there's something going on with the moon I'll let you guys know what it is but the sky right now is insane I'm running to the beach now to meet up with them even though Tommy's not here gonna hang with them listen I love mac and cheese for dinner alvita have you ever had alvita cheese babe I feel like this is food that would like survive a nuclear bomb yeah mac and cheese for dinner what babe it's gonna go bad by the time anyways one of my favorite tiktokers her name is glamma she's this southern amazing woman I don't know if you guys have seen her on tiktok but glamma is my clean she makes a lot of I would say southern comfort food and yeah she made this mac and cheese and I've been craving it ever since so gonna do it her way anyways guys I'm gonna just use half of this velvita block it's really scary to touch but I'm just gonna cube it up I'm just doing it how she did it actually I'm doing it like she did it besides she microwaved the cheese and I'm gonna double broil it on the stove top because I don't think this can go in the microwave but I'm gonna put the cheese into cubes and then I'm gonna put half and half in the cheese and then I'm gonna put a little bit of butter and then what she did that I've never done before is she put in Cajun seasoning in her mac and cheese and pepper so I'm gonna do that tonight but babe I have to send you this tiktok that she made she was like someone left a hate comment on her tiktoks and babe she is like the sweetest just sweet cooking in the kitchen like literally doing no wrong not giving any sort of hot takes I don't even know what she was gonna hate comments about but she was like oh sweetie I pray for you and I was like that's the attitude that I need to have she was like I love you I know you don't like me but you have so much hate in your heart and I love you yes that's what I need to do basically like the gist of what she was saying was is like she was praying for the people who didn't like her like praying for them praying for them and she feels bad for them because they're obviously not at peace and like she's like I have love for you because you need love like you're a hater and you need love because if you're a hater then you need a hug and that's the attitude that I'm having this year hug the haters hug the haters I'm kind of starting to like my haters oh yeah they're really great okay I'm adding some butter to this that should do half and half this is insane like looking in this bowl babe look at this looks like a heart attack okay I put this over the water that's heating up for my noodles but I'm gonna start to get this melted all right I'm just keeping this hot while that's boiling I don't want this to get like weird and yep I'm making dinosaur chicken nuggets I cannot be the only adult who still likes these guys this looks insane okay I didn't add the cajun seasoning I don't have the seasoning that she used but I'm gonna use a little bit of that Creole to see Creole seasoning oh whoa that's really really good oh also guys I bought these meal prep containers off Amazon for leftovers so they're easier to reheat and you can wash them so I actually did not vlog yesterday it was kind of a boring day I had some people come by the house to do some stuff lines got measured and I ordered in and I watched Tommy's match and that's like really all I did and then this morning I just had a bunch of calls I just got ready for the day felt like this vlog was a little bit different than my normal style which was kind of fun obviously I'm normally traveling or at home so obviously it's not gonna be like that but yeah I feel like I was like talking more okay I think my neighbor stopped using his leaf blower okay I'm gonna answer these questions I'm really excited to do this because I feel like I haven't done this in a long time favorite part about Florida that's a really good first question my favorite part about Florida is probably the Sun the Sun is so strong here and it just feels so good being from the Northeast and and being here growing up I never took warm weather vacations besides Nantucket which is not tropical so it's like really a treat being here it's very new like I still see palm trees and I'm like I'm honestly really learn to love so much about Florida I wouldn't say I was a Florida hater by any means but I definitely would never see myself living in Miami it's just not really my vibe very New England person so I always just felt like Florida wasn't really me wasn't really my style of homes there is a very outdoorsy cool community of people in Florida a lot of people who fish and bow and spend time on the beach that's really Tommy's friend group and he's a really really good crew here so I've really really learned to love Florida a lot oh this is so sweet I love when people that I know write questions or ask questions Tommy asked one and then this woman who was married to a coach on the tennis tour another US tennis player said do you consider yourself a influencer or a business woman you're a business woman to me that is such a sweet compliment I have a business mind and I always have that's how I've been able to create the brand that I have I would definitely consider myself a business woman that being said I'm always looking to learn and find ways to be a better CEO of my company and be a better business woman I would say that I am a learning young business woman with a lot to learn and I've recently been reaching out to some people to just like get lunch with and to learn from and I think finding mentors and having conversations and doing the research is so important and I'm still evolving into like who I'm gonna be as a business woman but I definitely would say I am so that's such a sweet compliment how do you curate a feed to attract brands feels like I'm constantly doing outreach personally I think that being an influencer and making money being an influencer now looks very different from when I started brands now I think really recognize communities I also have a perspective on this from a business owner perspective of like who would I hire to make content for my brand and I can kind of see both sides and I think that brands really want to work with people who are authentic and who have a good community and who build a community and your community can be 30 people or your community can be bigger than that but really like finding your own thing finding your own identity and any successful business have a direction and idea you do that over and over again so really figure out who you are what your style is what makes you happy and then make content about that over and over and over again and then you'll become an individual in the space you'll become irreplaceable so people will have to pay you to get that sort of content that's really unique I think being unique and being yourself is really attractive to brands and another tip that I have for you guys make content for the type of audience that you want like some of the brands that I started working with in the beginning were like case-to-five princess Polly supplement brands things like that take the smaller deal because when brands see you creating branded content they will know what to expect and then they will buy into that so I feel like work breeds work also you need to understand that they're a different like buying season and yearly structures the thing for example before Christmas in the winter is extremely busy for me probably my most busy time this past month in summer is not as busy and then now we're getting into buying season like I've had five offers come in from my manager in the past two days so know that if things slow down a lot of it can be just like budgets and campaigns aren't happening as much in certain times so don't get discouraged and create organic content for brands my manager and I had a call last week and she was saying that things are shifting into a space where brands are only gonna work with people who post their stuff organically and hire people who have never used their product before do you get overwhelmed from being in the spotlight how do you handle your anxiety I would say that I feel very very normal so I don't get overwhelmed by it I have a very normal awesome group of friends that have had my whole life I really love simple pleasures in life and simple things in life which I'm really grateful for because I feel like I'm able to be a very happy person because simple things give me a lot of fulfillment and satisfaction but like that was going out a lot or giving hot takes online and like exploiting my life in a different way I think I might feel overwhelmed I went on a podcast last year before I went on the podcast I took like five shots of tequila which was like the worst idea ever and I didn't have like any control over what they were gonna like include in the podcast which was like a whole other thing but I just like kind of went on there was super honest open about things and vulnerable in ways and talked about things that I normally wouldn't and on like any of my socials and I felt like although I got like mainly positive feedback from the podcast obviously some negative I felt like just very anxious and overwhelmed and like extremely uncomfortable and was like this is not attention that I like and this is not the sort of conversation that I want to be about me so that time I felt really overwhelmed but I feel like the way that I make content and what I share now and what I talk about now positive things like I'm not talking about anyone else I'm just like staying in my own lane and doing my own thing and in a really healthy relationship but that being said something that I am working on and that I want to just be a part of my channel is being more vulnerable I opened up a little bit about having social anxiety on my Nantucket blog and I got a really positive response in the comments like I feel like it was something so small but I got really sweet messages from girls being like you seem like you have a perfect life and I would never think that you would have social anxiety and I feel like my work in so many ways creating these little blogs for you guys I love editing them and making them pretty and in a way like romanticizing my own life and I do have a incredible life that I am so beyond grateful for I know that I live a really really great life but in no way am I perfect or is my life perfect I just thought that was really interesting that like maybe it comes off like I have a perfect life and I know I have a really amazing life I don't have a perfect life I tend to try to focus on the positive thing because the positives do outweigh the negatives there are things that I struggle with yeah so I want to be more vulnerable with you guys again I feel like I used to be back in the day and I used to be a little more vulnerable I feel like when less people were watching and criticizing me I was much more vulnerable but I'm in a place now where I'm like comfortable enough with myself and with my life that and then like with the people that don't like me and that criticize me constantly that I'm okay to be vulnerable and I'm okay to be open about the things that I struggle with and the things that I go through and it's just something that I have to get more comfortable with and it's something that I'm working on getting more comfortable with because there was a time in my life where I felt like everything that I did well everything I do does get criticized but anytime I were to be vulnerable or admit that I made a mistake or say that this wasn't good or or when I have acne or when I'm not feeling confident or like be vulnerable about those sides of my life I always felt like the people that were rooting for my downfall and people that are really vile towards me online get like some sort of satisfaction and that's what they already do in general about me like they already try to like catch me at a bad angle or or try to make me out to be a bad person or a mean girl someone that I'm not like that already happens every day as a public person but being vulnerable myself was just hard because of all that but that's just like so silly and not how I want to be and I want to be vulnerable with you guys and I want to be honest with you guys favorite pro tennis tournament you've attended so far probably Indian Wells and Wimbledon Wimbledon was such an amazing fun week and so was Indian Wells what are your high and lows of this summer there were so many highs I knew horse spending time with my old horse this house the pop-up happening denim launching at the pop-up oh my gosh so many high lows right off the bat I want to say rear-ending someone was really horrible and I know that that's like not a big deal but it was raining and my car like hydroplated into the back of someone's car and felt so bad that I just like completely inconvenienced this person by damaging their car on accident and like they had no power control and made like no mistakes it was just an accident and it just happened like because of the weather and because of how close I was to the car so that was really shitty I feel like that's such a lame low blue is having a really serious back pains to the point where like he's having a really hard time like sitting up which is like really heartbreaking and hard so he's been going to the vet a lot in my hometown that's a low that's been really hard but he might be getting surgery soon so fingers crossed on that do you ever ride English yes so I grew up riding English group writing English and Western but mainly English in New England Western it's just like not really a thing unless your trail riding which is why I actually switched to Western but it's really funny at my old barn I was helping take care and exercise this horse at one of the few Western barns in Connecticut and it's English and Western which is not common in New England I would show up in like my English writing here which like I love still but there were so many girls at the barn were like so friendly and they were wearing just like jeans or cut-offs and leather boots and I was like that looks so comfortable and I started riding Western and just like riding more casually and like I love wearing just like jeans and boots riding and it's so comfortable so that's really fun but I do miss English my New Horse Navy is trained under a Western and English saddle so I'm actually gonna start writing English I think with Navy a little bit when I bring my horses hopefully to Florida I'm gonna do a mix of both how to wait patiently for a proposal I feel like so important for whoever you're going to marry whether it's a guy or a girl to be ready themselves letting your partner come to that conclusion on their own and like know that they're ready know that they want to propose is the best way and I could imagine it might be frustrating you're dating someone for like three years and your adults and like they haven't proposed yet or have like no intention of proposing and it might feel like I understand if you're getting like anxious because you don't want to waste your time like I can't really imagine dating someone for that long building my whole life around someone and like not having the security of knowing like they're as invested I do think that everything will go smoother when that person is ready don't rush it and just like be patient and just enjoy dating like enjoy that state because with marriage and with having kids like there comes a lot of responsibility so just like enjoy each stage of life at the time that you get proposed to is like when it's supposed to happen have you ever had to distance yourself from friends advice on friendships in your mid 20s I'm so lucky to have such an amazing group of friends I've never had to distance myself from any of my best friends I think that with time and age it is so natural to grow apart from people I'm less close with some people that I used to be close with just based off the fact that I don't live in the city anymore and I'm not like living the same life that I used to only a few times in my life have I had to like text someone or call someone out for being like a really bad friend I've only had to do that when it's been like extreme things someone is a really good person and they're a really good friend you won't have a falling out with them and if you do then they like weren't right for you also that being said there are good people that you're also like not gonna connect with or not like be really close with and that's totally okay I think be okay with change and be okay with people coming in and out of your life in different chapters of your life but make sure that you are taking care of like your long-term friendships and your best friends and check in on people and just be the friend that you want for yourself okay last question any tips on cellulite I don't have any tips on cellulite because I think that's so normal I have cellulite no matter how thin I've gotten I still have cellulite I've cellulite my butt in the back of my legs through working out and through eating healthy I've definitely been able to like reduce my cellulite but it's so normal and I don't even think it looks bad I mean obviously in photos sometimes it can be like annoying or or like not look as good but just know that it's so normal and most women have it um I really need to pack because I'm leaving tonight and I need to like get going with that so I think I'm gonna end the vlog
