 Oh, I got these. If mine don't taste like this, I don't want it. What's happening? It is shut up. It's Christmas, Merry Christmas. This is not gonna be posted on Christmas, but Merry Christmas to you all. And if you're new here, I hate growing my hands of care, Jenae. Don't forget to subscribe and join the family before you leave. So like I said, it's Christmas day. I'm super excited. It is 1101. Why do we do that? Why do YouTubers do that? It's 1101 in the morning. Bae is like her good location. He about, oh girl, he like 10 minutes up the street. So yeah, he about to come. I got my Christmas music going. I just got the shower, feeling good, smelling good. Trying to upload this video for y'all today. It's on 96%. I've been trying to upload this freaking video last night since like 8.39 o'clock. So I was gonna just give it to y'all late last night, but as y'all can see, it's still uploading. I don't know what's wrong. I restarted my computer. Normally if my computer hasn't been restarted in a while, it'll like slow down and lag. But I restarted this. I don't know, but we're on 96. And if the screen goes black, it uploads a lot slower as well. So whatever, I'm about to do my makeup though. I'll wash my face. I didn't actually cleanse it. So I'm about to go cleanse in my guest bathroom. And then I'm gonna touch up my eyebrows a little bit and you're about to do my makeup. And if I got a little peach fuzz right here, we're gonna get rid of that too, girl. I'm super excited. I'm lit. I just love when the family get together. I just love the holidays, especially Christmas is my favorite time of year. I went to church yesterday. Church was amazing. He didn't really preach too much. They just sung a lot of songs and kind of just reminded you of what the true meaning of Christmas is, which was nice. We did the candlelighting. It was just so beautiful. If y'all follow me on Instagram, then y'all have saw my story already. My Instagram is at underscore Akira with three As at the end. And yeah, me and Bay had posted our Christmas photos. So if you don't have Instagram or something, I may put our pictures up on the screen right here. But if you do have Instagram, you can go liking and stuff like that. Y'all, it's almost at 2,000 likes. I'm like, I ain't never that many likes on a photo before. And it's just crazy. So yeah, y'all are literally, y'all are so sweet. All y'all love the pictures. So yeah, I'm glad that came out really well. But I'm about to do my makeup. I'm about to start on it anyway, because I plan to leave out of here at 12.45 to go get my mom. Me and Bay are gonna go pick up my mom and then all three of us is gonna go to my hometown, Cersei, is where I'm from. And yeah, we're gonna go do Christmas there with my aunt, you know, just everybody. And yeah, I'm just super excited. So we do gotta pack my gifts. I'm gonna do all that later. I do gotta go get gas. And when we go to the gas station, I was gonna see if I can get a couple more snacks that I have forgot to get to put in the stockings and then I'll be done. So yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. This is on 98% say, I got 16 minutes left. We're about to go do my makeup. I don't know if I'm gonna record like the whole process because, yeah, I know I'm not no makeup guru. Like, I don't do it. Oh, it's my song. The Christmas Tree. My hair the other day. So my hair is completely blown straight. And I did wanna wear my hair straight, but I don't think my actual real hair is gonna let me live. I'm gonna cleanse my face real quick with this. I'm gonna try out my new Elf primer. Super duper excited. Did my best friend go on it for Christmas like a year ago? Cause I got dry skin. Like all I hear is he's vlogging. Hey. Huh? He's vlogging. Yeah, this helped me stand up though probably. Like two days ago and it has a lot of room. So I'm gonna try to take out some of the makeup around my neck, but even I didn't try to put anything right there just because I didn't want a turtleneck and I don't want makeup to be showing on the turtleneck. So here. Yeah, I didn't get much on my neck. So that's good. Just in case, got some on here. All right. So we're gonna put on my shirt, girl. And I didn't curl my hair. I'm going to do it straight simply because I don't feel like curling my hair. And it's already 12, 16. So curling my hair would definitely take about 20 minutes because I got 30 inches in. And yeah, we're just going to keep her bust down by my straight. All right. So I'm gonna put this on the stuff a little closer cause I am only in my bra. Then it touched my face at all. Perfect. So definitely wish I could have had like a white bra. Like I said, this is the size large. So it's pretty big. So what I did last time was just to roll it up a little bit to make it kind of cropped. So it's not too big. And I need to fix, adjust my bra strap to be a little bit tighter. Up some. And this shirt, I think I did a haul before but this is from Marshalls. Fix them up. Get them all up to her. All this shirt. And bam, Gucci. The only thing I worry about is the front of my hair kind of curling up so I might go ahead and take a little mini flat iron with me in my purse. Yeah. So I have no idea which pair of shoes I want to wear. So I'm about to put on my jacket and see if I need to switch jackets or not. But I wanna wear this jacket because it's cute with my little fit. This is what I'm wearing. The brown jacket. White turtleneck pants from Tarjay. And I need some pants. I mean shoes. And my shoe options are white ones. I know y'all don't say white but these are from Fashion Nova in a heart like heel. Like your feet are really weird. Shaped in the middle. These I like but they're black and I'm wearing brown. So it's like I could change my jacket but I don't want to. So I'm gonna try both of these on. And I don't wanna wear open toe shoes because my toe is not hanging. Which one? I know. The white, cause I'm wearing a white shirt. So it looks better. So I'm saying. I can just wear it and take a picture and then keep on the other one. Oh, they definitely look better. Ooh, we have it on and just put on a little fit. Definitely like white better. Simply for the pictures. You're gonna see who would be saying that. We're getting gas right now. Prince in the big. He's gonna go stay with my dad. And we in gas. They pumping my gas right now. I can't show up in here. So right now I'm gonna go pick up my mom. It is 12, no it's one on one actually. And it's taking me about 20 minutes to get over there and it's gonna take us about 35 ish minutes, 40 minutes to get to Cersei from where my mom and my dad stayed. My trunk is loaded down. I'm gonna show y'all when we get to my own house. Loaded completely down with all these gifts. So, when we get to my parents. These are all the gifts. These are stock and stuffers. Gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts. Home-added gifts. This is insane. That's what? We just separated. My makeup does look really well. No, who am I? We separated. But Kara, so I is a few months. This is all of Diana's gas. We got more at the house. These are all mine. This is my aunt's wallet. Yeah. My dear Lord, I want to say thank you for another day. Lord, thank you for this gathering, for this Christmas day. Lord God, we thank you for having the opportunity to celebrate Lord God. Say thank you for this gathering. Thank you for this food. We want to say bless. Bless on the teeth of a pan and Lord God. Bless him. Being blessed from our body, Lord God. I want to say thank you for all that you've done.

So Jaycee, you'll break your family. What is it? It's in inside of it. It's inside. You got to take it. I can't get in this one. You need my butcher knife. Get a wart. What did I just get? Is this Walmart? What am I? What a Walmart. I needed some more dry shoes. This is what she wanted. We couldn't find it. It's for you. Dine up. Dine up. I swear to God, I just ran out of soap in my bathroom. I see it. That's the dish though. Here's the dish washing liquid. Would you like your blanket? You can. I love it. I love it. Pure rub, mommy. Pure it. Yeah, I need that. Give me that stocking bag, mom. Y'all can rub it in. I can put this in the suitcase. Oh, yeah. Stocking in control. You can. Yes! For my little peels. This is cute. Thank you. This is cute. Thank you. Thank you. Practicing is over right now. Is this some tequila? Yeah. You're never gonna want this party. I meant the wood tequil. Thank you. Thank you. I'm gonna drink that tonight. Do they say you want something to drink? Ma'am. Oh, that's so spain. I need some spain. What? Want a spoon or a minute or another? Alright. Mom said she remember when this came out. Okay. Here you go. It is not that sweet. It is 9.56, they had left probably like 20 minutes ago to go to work. You got to be at work tonight, sadly on Christmas, so he couldn't stay with me. I am so sad, but I had a wonderful, wonderful freaking Christmas. Merry Christmas to you all. I believe I said that today. It's just been so fun, so joyful and just overall 100% great. I love all the gifts that I got. I love all the gifts that I gave. I've been seeing their reactions and everything, like it was literally so fun. So what I'm about to do is, yeah, I can see I got all my gifts and stuff up there. And then I got a full bag of freaking gifts in my Ikea bag. I'm going to lay everything out on the couch and kind of just give y'all overview of everything rather than just picking up every single item showing y'all. This vlog is probably just going to be like a Christmas vlog, like the probably just like, you know, spend Christmas with me and my family. You know, just a vlog for today. I don't think I'm going to drag this vlog out simply because it's, you know, just basically all about Christmas. Tomorrow I do plan to start another vlog that is because I got, we were just talking about a different vlog, but tomorrow I am starting a new vlog because we got some stuff to do. We're going to be off Tuesday and Wednesday, and I work Thursday, Friday off Saturday. It's Sunday, so excuse me girl, I'm tired. But I really did my makeup really well today. My cousin and stuff, they all complimented and all of that. So yeah, I think it's that milk hydro primer as well as I, you know, cleaned up my eyebrows and just peach fuzz and stuff on my face. Literally, not the milk hydro primer, the ELF whatever primer. That is a really, really good primer. I actually like that better than the milk hydro grip, if that's what it's called. The milk one is good as well, but I feel like the ELF one is just, like it's more, I don't even know what to say, like it's just better to me. So that's definitely, I'm definitely going to be buying that from now on. And I just feel like it just made my makeup so freaking flawless. But now I've been wearing it for dang near what, eight hours or nine hours. So yeah, anyways, I'm about to put all my stuff out on the couch and show y'all. And for me to also like, I like to look at my gifts over and over, like just take it all in. I'm that type of person. So I'll probably be looking at these for a little bit. But I also want to lay everything out on the, um, I want to lay everything out on the couch as well because I mean, I need to put this up. Like, I'm not going to keep all of this stuff up. This is some food that my momma got prints. Literally probably 20 of these little bitty food container thingies. Oh, Prince got some new toys. So I'm going to take his toys out and see if he liked them, which I know he probably is. You got some toys for Christmas from your cousin, Dinah. You got some toys. Original loofah dog. It's a, it's a little squeaky toy shoe. So he got this one. Look, already trying to get it here. I sent a picture to Dinah or a video. What's up, boy? You got the toys. Y'all already trying to get this one. You got that toy, boy. All right. So obviously he likes that one. I'm going to send that to her. How many that is? So it's red, green. What it is, but set up. Good boy. I got his toy. I got him out the way. Look what my homeboy just sent me. So if you care, here's another quick overview. You can skip past this part if you want, since I kind of already showed everything I got. But girl, this is the only thing that I had on my freaking Christmas list was the pink stuff. And she literally, this is my cousin Dinah, got me like the whole kit. I had saw this on there, but it was like a little expensive. So I didn't care to put it on there, but the multi-purpose cleaner, window cleaner, bathroom foam cleaner, and the miracle crane cleaner. Super excited y'all. Y'all know I love to do a good deep clean with me. So we definitely about to use this in my next clean with me video. I'm so excited. And girl, the T3. This is the only thing that I wanted, like that I put on my list. Absolutely love. She is so cute. I already showed it. But girl, I cannot wait to... But she is too cute. I don't know what this is. Is this a glove? Oh, that's the manual. Okay. They got to be a little extra fancy-weated. Anyways, the T3 girl. She is so cute and so beautiful. Like, I am so excited that I got this as well as she bought me the freakin' blow dryer with it. Girl, I'm so excited. So this was on my list. And this was on my list. This is my Tel-Far, Tel-Far bag. I saw Deira with this a few months ago. And I absolutely loved it. I needed it real bad. I wanted the medium-sized one. And this is just the jelly bag that she did an unboxing on. So I'm definitely... I'm gonna do an unboxing of this as well because it's just too cute. And honestly, Deira is the only person that I've seen with this freakin' bag. Like, how cute. Y'all know brown is my color right now. Brown is the color of my brand. And I'm just all about wearing brown. Like, she is gorgeous. You can't tell me this ain't cute. So I'm super duper excited to freakin' wear this. And I wanted the size medium. I didn't want the small. I didn't want the big one. The size medium is perfect. So yeah, she is super cute, girl. And then I also had... That was on my list and this is on my Christmas list. And I also wanted a can opener. How about they got me this one from Amazon. And then my aunt and my uncle literally got me this one. So yeah, I got two electric can openers. I'm lit. And they had this in my freakin' stock. And this is a wide lens. I actually want to put this on tonight and see how wide the angle becomes with my camera. Super duper excited about this because I definitely wanted this to kind of jazz up my content. Got this cute blanket. I got a $50 Walmart gift card. And I don't know how much it's on here, but I got a Victoria's Secret gift card. I'm pretty sure this is to give me some underwear because I did put on my Christmas list that I wanted Victoria's Secret underwear. And then this is some stuff from my Amazon store front candles. All the freakin' snacks, girl. Got some cute little stuff and stuff is here. Like I said, I did not know Nix literally had lip gloss. So stinking cute. Absolutely love the chapstick, hand sanitizer, and Todd, all of that. And I wanted this. This was on my Amazon wish list. Girl, I'm super excited to get this and use this. Like, I cannot wait to be cooking all this stuff. And then of course, this girl remind me, and then this is on my wish list as well. Little like peel holders that I'm going to use it for. So yeah. And then print stuff as well. So I'm super excited. Then my dad, I got this wine or Moscato. Got this. And yeah, I got some food for prints. Took this right from my aunts. My mama also gave me this candle as well. So I had a really, really freakin' nice Christmas. I got everything that I wanted on my wish list and baby as well as the to-go plates. If you're not getting those to-go plates, what are you really doing? So I went to two of my aunts' houses. Well, I went to Donna's mom. Her aunt obviously is where we did the, oh, my food definitely looked over in the bag. So this is from the first house where we opened up and gave to my aunt's house for Donna's mom. And then this is from her house as well. This is my ham and some pork chops or a pork chop. My freakin' strawberry cake, my mama took it. So now I gotta go over there and get my dang cake. I really just want to be like, forget it, but I really want that strawberry cake. And then this one is from my aunt Jules' house. It's the second house that I went to. And girl, I am super excited. Literally mac and cheese ham. This is like a rib, rolls, greens. Girl, y'all know I do not eat vegetables, but I would eff up some greens, like real bad. So that's supposed to be sending me that recipe because normally y'all know I eat the greens in the can and honey, once I had things that Thanksgiving, like I've had the, you know, I've had homemade greens before, but I don't know. Nothing was hidden different about these greens this year. So I had them at Thanksgiving and I'm like, girl, I cannot wait until Christmas to get some more greens. So I asked my uncle and my aunt to send me that recipe. They said it's easy, you know, it's easy cooking greens, but I'm like, I want to know how y'all cook it. Like if mine don't taste like this, I don't want it. So, and I had a subscriber say, like stop eating the canned greens. Like they're not good for you or whatever. But I'm like, honey, I gotta eat something, but definitely don't want canned greens anymore. I want homemade greens. So girl, I cannot wait to bust this open tomorrow. I'm gonna save this specific tray for tomorrow. It's 10 o'clock. I may get a little hungry, but I mean, I got unhealthy snacks. Like I got some candy and stuff like that. But I may, I don't know. I may nibble on some of this, maybe like a few bites. If I do get hungry after putting all this stuff up. But other than that, I'm just going to save all of this. So tomorrow is Tuesday. Obviously I do have a grocery pickup from Walmart and Sam's Club. But that's going to be in a different video. It's going to be like in a Sunday reset type video for like a new year or it's going to be like a new year reset video. So I'm super excited to record that. And yeah, I've had a wonderful Christmas. So I hope y'all guys Christmas was fun as well. Don't forget to like this video, comment, subscribe. I think I'm going to end this video out here because it should be pretty, it should be pretty long. Today was a very long day. I've tried, I did all the driving today. I went an hour, I went 20 minutes to pick up my mom and then another 30 minutes to go to my hometown. And then we drove an hour to my other aunt's house and then I had to drive freaking 30 minutes to take my mom back home and then another 25 minutes to come back home to my apartment. So yeah, it's been a lot going on. But yeah, it's fun. So yeah, I'm done talking. I'm going to let y'all go and I'm going to see y'all in a new year because after this vlog, I probably won't be posting again until the new year. So happy new year. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to whatever you celebrate or don't celebrate. I cannot wait to see y'all in the new year. And yeah, I'm just ready to bring some more content. I really need to sit down and really plan out content after tomorrow because Tuesday is going to be a busy day with me trying to record this new year reset video. But either Wednesday, I work Thursday, Friday and then Saturday I need to really be planning and it's as well as Sunday. So yeah, and I really need to edit a lot of TikToks and reels. I'm so behind, but next year I don't want to hold content. There's been videos for, you know, TikTok and YouTube or whatever they're like, I'm like, I don't want to post that or that may not do well. And the videos that I think not going to do well actually be the ones to actually take off and do well. So 2024 I'm not holding back any content. All the content that I've saved up from me putting up wallpaper, transferring my apartment, all of that type of stuff. I didn't really post that on anything. And some stuff I'll post on TikTok and not Instagram. And it's like a career. You're trying to grow your Instagram as well. And it's like that type of stuff you do like to look at on Instagram. So it's like I really need to be posting my content. But yeah. Anyways, thank y'all for watching. Don't forget to like this video. It helps me out a lot. Comment and subscribe and share if you will. And until my next one, I will see you guys next year. Bye guys. I'm about to try to put together my lens. My camera about to die. Great. So this is how it looks before I put my new lens on. I'm about to try it out. And I'm super excited because I can get better content. I'm going to switch out my battery, but we're going to come back and I'm going to show y'all how it looks with the actual wide angle lens. So I'm going to try to put it in the exact same spot. This is how it looks barely any of the trees in there. And yeah, what have you. Oh, that's crazy. Okay. So I'm trying to get out a little bit. So I'm going to hold it right here to where you can see half the tree. Put the lens on. You can see the whole thing over there. It's crazy. So it kind of moves my face back. Like moves my body back in a sense. So I'm not that freaking close to the camera. OMG. I love this thing. So here's me reaching my arm out. And then this is with that freaking lens on there, reaching my arm out. Look at the difference. Reaching out all the way as you can see. Putting the lens on. And wow. That's crazy. I have this link down below. I am super excited. Let me screw y'all in. It's insane. Look how much y'all can see in the freaking vlog now. Oh yeah. I like this. I like this a lot. So I'm going to screw. It's making it look a little bigger as well. Like the lens is definitely a little bit heavier. Like look at that. You can literally see everything. Thank you babe for my gift. I am super excited. I'm also going to keep this. When I'm not using the camera, I'm definitely going to put this lens cover on because obviously it's stuck on my camera with like a little two-sided like sticky. So I did see like one or two comments where they said it filled off one. So I don't want to break this lens with just only like $50 but still. I don't want to have to keep replacing it. So I'm just going to put this little protective cover on when I'm not using it and then just keep taking it. Excuse me on and off. And this is a protective cover for the back as well. So I'm super excited. This looks so good. Like baby girl, y'all can see everything now. I'm litty. Okay. And I'm like close up to the camera right now. And it don't even look like I'm that close. And then if I'm back, girl, owie. So I'm close to the camera. I'm about to unscrew it. Just real quick to show y'all again. So this is how I look with the lens on. So I'm this close to the freaking camera. But then putting this lens on, it like pulls me back. That's crazy. All right. Now I'm going for real y'all. I'm going to talk to y'all in my next vlog which will be next year in the new year. So happy new year and babes. I'll see y'all later. Bye.
