 Not y'all trying to eat me up. Because why y'all say? Am I available? No, baby, I'm not. I know. Who's baby? I'm stuck. Like. Straighten, straighten, yo. Don't not get straightened, but straightened. Don't not get straightened, but straightened. Don't not get straightened, but straightened. Straight, you don't get straightened, straightened. And this gang said fat, be patient. Gang, niggas act like the gang went vacant. Niggas act like something fake. Back to my channel. Today's video is gonna be the start of the vlog. If y'all watched my, I think vlogmas, I was talking about trying weekly blogging. This is no promise. This is just me. Gonna try to start at the beginning of the week this week and see how this weekly blogging will go. If you're new here, hey girl, my name's Akira Jenae. Don't forget to subscribe and join the family before you leave, okay? We would love to have you over here. And I put this freaking heatless little curler thing in my hair. Just because, honestly. I had curl my hair Saturday night. It's actually Monday. It's noon. It's 12, 22 in the afternoon. Didn't plan to get up a little bit earlier, but girl, it's raining right now. And y'all know, it just, it's just been feeling too good to get out your bed when it's raining. So hopefully I think it's like down a little bit. This is gonna be an exciting weekly vlog, I believe, because we are gonna be home decor shopping and getting back into apartment stuff that I'm very excited about. And I know you guys are too. It's from a JVP collection. Okay, I'll always link down below. But, sorry, girl. My eyes are burning. If y'all don't follow me on Instagram, definitely don't follow me on Instagram. My Instagram is at underscore Akira with three A's. Let's see how it'll look. I say follow me because I usually post little stuff like this to ask y'all. So, basically I had said, what other videos do y'all wanna see for 2024? I see that y'all really like the Sunday resets, reset videos type of videos like that. A lot of y'all had responded back to me, so I didn't share them or anything because this is just for, you know, me. So a lot of y'all, it was like shopping videos, getting a life, maybe get ready with me for day night, updated Q and A, business video advice. I do have entrepreneur videos coming up and planned, updated Q and A, an actual grocery shopping video. Not y'all trying to eat me up. Because why y'all say an actual grocery shopping video, not just pick up? Y'all know I do not like go in the stores no more. Like, girl, I can't do it, I'm sorry. And I got my little sheen, little mini phone ring light on. Anyways, I'm gonna do that. I wanted to do that as well today because I do need to meal prep for the rest of the week. I work tomorrow and the next day, so Tuesday and Wednesday, so I'm gonna need to meal prep. So I do need to go to Sims and I need to go to Sims to actually give me my actual physical card. Cause, yeah, I usually, like I say, just been doing pick up. So, you know, already logged into my account. Anyways, so y'all were saying budget finances at a YouTube videos, pampering day, travel vlogs, Q and A, deep cleaning, weekend, week in your life. So what I'm doing right now, when was the last time you did natural hair video, anything home decor related, self care. You know, y'all know, y'all know, y'all know. So I kind of already know what y'all want, but it's like, I like to hear it from y'all to make sure I'm on the right track. So today, we're gonna go to HomeGoods. Maybe Sam's, if I fill up to it. Like, I don't like doing a lot of stuff in the rain. So tomorrow I may just save most of my, like, errands for in the morning cause I have something to eat for tonight. And it's literally supposed to be raining all day long. And tomorrow, Tuesday, just say it's gonna be very windy. So we'll probably wake up early tomorrow and go nails, toes, and what I say, go to Sam's. But I do wanna go do some a little bit of shopping today. I ain't been at HomeGoods since last year. And that's not even like being one of them people. It's literally like, I don't think I went to HomeGoods at all in like, December or anything. Like, I think it was like November, October, you know? So yeah, we definitely gotta go do that. And I would like to find some hairspray because the hairspray that I have just isn't doing it anymore because like my curls are really cute right now but they're gonna fall by the end of today if I don't like spray them. This is the Aussie Mega hairspray. I've had, I've had this for years. And I know it is probably bad to even still be trying to spray this because like, I don't even know if y'all can see the rust up on there. Like I've had this, I've been out of college for a couple of years now. My freshman year college was 2016. I definitely feel like I had this around freshman and sophomore year college. So I need to find a freaking hairspray. The other things that I need is, I'll tell y'all when we get there because I already been talking for five minutes. I'll talk to y'all when we get to the car because I thought I would have to curl my hair again with that little, this T3. I'm telling y'all, she be doing her big one. So I don't even have to really curl my hair. I'm gonna do like this little piece right here. And that's it. I still gotta take prints out. He just got done eating. I also gotta buy him some more shampoo because basically he smelled him, he smelled like outside. So yeah, he is all out of shampoo. Gotta get him that, think he's good on dog bags. So I think other than that we're good but we do have some home decor items that we are searching for. Girl, I just got back in the house from walking prince. It's cold. Like it's still sprinkling and yes, it's gonna rain on and off all day. So I had him a little letterman jacket and then I got this little, it's a crop top, yes, but with my pants, so how wasted it a little down but my pants got ripped in them. So girl, no, it's cold, it's hell. So I'm about to put on my other little bitty pretty little thing, two pieces that I got last year. I've already wore the, I think in my first vlog for this year, I wore my brown one in the vlog. So now we're about to wear the black one. Excuse prince, he's going crazy. And don't mind my apartment behind me. I am also recording a deep clean with me video today after I get back from doing all of my little window shopping and or shopping for the apartment if you know what I'll find. That's why I said tomorrow I'm gonna go and get my nails and toes and stuff done because I do really need to deep clean. So I'm about to change into this real quick and I'll be back. Okay, it's 121 now. I've been trying to do boomerangs, pictures and stuff like that. I would like to take a picture today, but like my face ain't done, like for the gram. This will be working with though, let me turn this off. So it was, it is so cold outside, but I got on my little Letterman jacket, pretty little thing, two-piece set. And then I got on some vans and then this is my only literally black bag. So we're rocking out with this. And then my glasses, I did a whole haul on like six, seven pairs of glasses that I got. I need some perfume. I'm about to put on my little combo that I wore on Saturday. That bae was like, oh, you smell good. And I'm like, thank you, honey, I'm just out. But what I wore, I like to combine the dossier floral lavender. I forgot which actual perfume this is supposed to be like a mug of, but as y'all can see, girl, I be, yeah, I'd be spraying this real bad. And then I also got this from that collab I did with Synths Angels, or Synth Angel, Synths Angel. This smells really good. I forgot what smell this was. It's vanilla as well as this one. Y'all can go watch a video. I got a whole separate video of me showing these perfumes, but I like to mix these two. It's the perfect combination. Smells so good. And I literally sat on him and he was like, mm, you smell good. Yes, that's exactly what I wanted here, baby. And I also, I'm getting some more perfume sent from dossier, but I can't remember if I picked this one out or not, because this is my favorite one. I picked out four more for them to send me, but I did it while I was at work. And I wish I would have remembered or took a picture of that one, because that one smells amazing. I'm about to head out now. It's already literally one o'clock, and by the time I get back, it's gonna be probably dark outside, because there's no sun out. It's dark already, so I know four o'clock is gonna be freaking pitch black, so. And I also need to, I got to post a video today, but I need to do time stamps, so that's why I'm trying to hear if I'm going home goods. I'm gonna get gas today. Yeah, we'll just see where everything takes us. I'm about to take my little light off, because I'm not taking this out with me. All right, and I'm trying to record a TikTok today as well. I don't know why, I'm gonna wait til Monday. I gotta go to work tomorrow. I wanna wait til the day to where I gotta prep and get ready to go to work tomorrow. I wanna record a TikTok today, a deep clean with me, and the start of a weekly vlog. What am I tripping on? I don't know, but we about to go girl, because I'm burning up. I got my heat on and I'm in all of this. Yeah, let's go, let's go. The box is that one. 16, 19. Cheap of the Amazon, I can tell you that. Come for that, but we're gonna get it. Yeah, that looked the same. And the other box cheaper, I think, yeah. Or is that the, is that the same one? No. No, okay, yeah. Thank you. How much is it gonna be? This is a trash can, that one's $59. I'm not trying to pay over $30. What is trash cans, huh? Bro, I'm looking at trash twice a day. One more, because this even, this is more, that says, this is $79.99, it's $13.2. Let's see you. Show's in the home store, because, oh, it got two waste baskets in it, though. Right. So obviously, you guys can see that it is raining. And I just got out of home goods. Ain't no telling how long I've been up in there. I'm gonna have to look at these clips or something. I've been in there for a long while, because it's literally $3.29. And my job had text me, my job text me 40 minutes ago and asked me, could I come in tonight? Am I available? No, baby, I'm not. So that was 40 minutes ago, and I was already in there for a good hour. So I've probably been in there for about two hours. Like I said, I ain't been in home goods in a minute, so I wanted to look around and see what they got. I spent, my budget was to sit $100. I spent $98. I got everything except for the trash can. So Walmart, it shows that they have one for $50. So I'm gonna go ahead and go buy that. I'm starving. So yeah, I'm about to, let me just go ahead and taste them back. I really need to go, but I got stuff to do. Like they don't ever, like if y'all was to ask me that this morning, then yeah, I would have definitely came. But I wanna pick up like Friday or this Saturday. Like I don't wanna work a Monday, especially now when it's like storming and stuff either. I may go ahead and just go to Sam's first, because I do gotta take a picture and I need to get in there and get my chicken breast. And I think that's all I need out of Sam's is that chicken breast. Because everything else, y'all know, I just did that big grocery shopping haul. So like I got everything else. So no worries, thank you for responding. Yeah, you're welcome. All right, let's go, cause I'm hungry. And I'm about to cook my little meal prep tonight. And I'm about to eat one and then say, but I'm going to Bayhouse as well this week. So I don't know, we'll see. But I can't talk to y'all while driving in the rain. So I'll talk to y'all when we get to Sam's in Walmart. I don't know if I told y'all, my job takes me and asks me if I can come in. No, baby, I cannot because when I do try to pick up, y'all always cancel me. So don't ask me, okay. I'm about to do a quick haul. I need to scan my receipt though. And my fifth app is always linking my bio if y'all want to sign up so we can both get some points. But I spent $98. They're probably going to give me 25 points. You begin the most points when you go like grocery shopping because they be having special items on like an extra point thingy or whatever. I don't know. I'm going to give y'all a freaking haul because I'm super excited to unbox all of this stuff. My total today was like about $150 for like all of this stuff. So obviously first y'all can see it got rained on. I got a new trashcan. It's a 13 gallon. The brand is nine stars. It's the one to where you can literally just swipe your hand across a little bit, motionless or whatever motion sensor trashcan. I got this from Walmart actually. Walmart, it was on sale for $55 regular, like 60. I don't know if I showed y'all the trashcans or if I, I think I did a clip but I don't know if y'all can hear me, but the trashcans and home goods like started 60 and up for like a 10 gallon, 7.8 gallon. Like the one that I actually needed was down there $100, baby. I'm not about to pay $100 for a trashcan. Like I'm sorry, but I want it stainless steel because all of my appliances are stainless steel, obviously y'all know that. And then the trashcan that I have right now is this one. I've had this trashcan for years, like four plus years probably. It's time to let her go. And I hate that y'all can already see it's kind of dirty at the top. I hate having to touch the trashcan. So I am glad that I got lucky and found a motion sensor trashcan because you know why you cooking and stuff? Like even if I don't touch it, like let's say I'm throwing away like a piece of paper or something. If I touch the paper on the trashcan, let's say like the paper guy throw up on it. The throw up was already on the trashcan. Like I hate that type of stuff. So I literally got lucky with this one. I'm super excited. So I got that and then from home goods. I'm gonna just take everything out. She didn't bag anything. Okay, from Sam's Club, I didn't take out any of them because it was raining girls. Y'all know I love this chicken breast. The Italian style herb grilled chicken breast. Mine is 1043. You can buy it. They have different prices just per pound. So one, two, three, four, five. It's five in here. It looks like it's kind of like frozen. My last one I don't think was frozen. It might've just came up. But anyways, 210 calories, 32 grams of protein. Y'all better get on it. And I also calculated my meal prep. So I get five chicken breasts, one box of macaroni. I can get three meal prep containers. And then with my potatoes, I only cooked two potatoes that time. Y'all saw me in my Sunday reset. I cooked two potatoes and that got me three meal prep containers as well. So I calculated five meal prep, so five chicken breasts. And I calculated everything. So basically it comes up to like $67 for like the box of macaroni, this, all of that. And I'll be spending $67 per month for 24 meals. Just think about it. Like I'm spending, like if we go out to eat, I'm spending $60 on myself to go out to eat. So spending $60 for five meals each week for the whole month. So like for 24 meals, that's insane. So it's just crazy to think about like how much money we really be spending on food. When we go out, like that one meal is it could feed me for the whole month. So yeah, I'm gonna be buying these weekly though. Like I said, I just calculated like $10 for each week. So it's four weeks in a month. So I just calculated that so that it'd be $40. And then one box of macaroni gives me three meal preps. So obviously I'm gonna need two more. So I just did like two bucks in macaroni. Like I calculated everything. So each dinner plate that I make for meal prep, that'll be $2.88 for my whole entire lunch. Like one big piece of chicken breast. Like it's just crazy. Like I can just get into a whole school about that. But girl, like we are really paying so much these days to go out to eat. I also stopped by my mailbox, got my meal. Somebody had most of that meal not even mine. One of the people used to live here. So yeah, the first thing I got, I'm super excited about, girl. I need to also record this for a TikTok. Girl, I got these. It's a four pack. It holds 22 ounces red wine glasses. Y'all know I only drink red wine. So this was, girl just calling my name. It was 1699. Obviously you can see the brand. Benquit Tuscan. I opened these in the store. I think I was recorded when that lady was like, I'll let, like she was nice. But it's like, girl, if you wanna see the glass, like just get your own glass. But girl, I didn't even have to go to Amazon. The ones on Amazon are like $34. Is that the crack? Uh-oh, I might have to take that back. Is that a crack? Yeah, they look like this crack. Okay, I might take these back because I don't, it's a little bitty crack. Yeah, I'll probably take these back and exchange them because I don't want nothing. But anyways, like a pack of four or five of these on Amazon was literally like $34. And I got them for 1699. I thought this was so cute. Like girl, vibes, yeah. The aesthetics, yeah. And it can hold a lot of wine, too. Got is this two piece kitchen drying mat set, two pack for $6.99. I have one, but one that I have is brown. I've had this for a few years, which is cool because, you know, my cabinets and stuff are brown, but she just didgy. Like I've had for a while, she got spice and stuff on her. Yes, I can wash it. Yes. I already know what you're gonna say. Do I want to? No. These, if they get dirty, whatever, yes, I'll wash it. But I really wanted something that kind of just matched a little bit better. Gray does not match, I don't really have anything gray, but I really wanted it because the black one, and it was cheaper to get this two pack rather than the other two pack that was two black ones. So yeah, anyways, they're just dry mats. Y'all know I like to use my dishwasher, but the dishwasher does not clean my glass cups in silverware all too well. Like silverware more so than the glass cups, but my glasses, I just have to hand wash all of those. Like it's still, like they'll be clean, but it'll still be like, I don't know. Like I don't know what it is. Like maybe the stuff out of the actual like dishwasher pod, it kind of seems like, get on there. But yeah, I'm just gonna be cleaning all of my glassware like by hand, so I got that to dry my stuff. Returning to the kitchen steel, I got this pack of mints for $9.99. It's the, I can't even see the brand girl, but silicone oven mints really needed some more oven mints, some that actually match my decor, not no raggedy, janky ones, so got two of these. I also got these for $6.99, they're just towels. I needed some for the stove because I don't have any, and the one that I do have, I only have one. So I wanted a new set of that. I think I got pretended to the kitchen. It's this multi-use four section food storage container from Core Kitchen brand, $5.99. Girl, come on out. So they got like pasta over here, another pasta over here, the fettuccine over here, and then basically whatever you wanna use this for. I thought this would be so cool to really free up the space in my pantry over there because I don't like, I don't be eating that much pasta anyway. So this one container literally will free up all this other space. So basically, I got one for elbows, spaghetti noodles, fettuccine, I got panini noodles, so I'm really excited to start putting this to use. Other two things I got is this Hawaiian Miss Essential Oil bathroom spray for the air in the toilet. So I thought this would be really nice to replace my other one, I'm kinda going low. It was only $3.99, it smells really nice. So you can spray it in the air in the toilet is what really made me get this. And this is just some shampoo for Prince. Y'all know I told y'all that I had to pick up some. It's the Berry and Coconut Deep Cleansing plus Brighton and Pet Shampoo, paraben-free, pH balance is from TropiClean. It smells amazing. Like this was $7.99, granted. But girl, it just smells like, it smells like, I don't even know, just tropical in the berries and it just smells really fresh. So I know every time I use this on Prince, he's gonna smell amazing. Well, she's gonna get a bath tonight after I tell you come back outside to go potty cause it is wet and rainy outside. I'm not about to give him a bath now. And then he, you know, you know, y'all know, y'all know. Last couple of things I got, girl. They had this at home because they had like four left. I really think I may go back tomorrow and buy another one because like, my couch is pretty big. I'm gonna put it on my couch right now. I wish this was black. If this was black, I'll put it in my room. But I don't know, we'll see. Cause I got white stuff in there. But I know I need two of these. It doesn't matter where I put it, I need two of them. So these are $16.99. And I know I haven't showed y'all my guest room transformation yet because it's not done. But I do have a couch in there. And this would definitely look nice on there. So like, I'm probably gonna go back and buy like two or three more. Maybe just, maybe one or two more. But girl, it is so soft. It's just the not pillow, super soft. Like this is one that you can actually like lay on. And it's the truly low home plus decorative pillow. It don't get no better than this. How sticky cute is that? And then the ultimate reason why I also went in home goods was because I needed a new hamper. My hamper broke on me last night. This just says wash and dry. This was $14.99. The brand is Wellington and Hulk, I believe. So yeah, just the cute little laundry hamper needed it real bad. I also need to record a deep clean today. And it's already about 35 o'clock, girl. So I'm about to be cleaning until like eight o'clock. I need to cook first. I'm gonna cook me one of these chicken breasts. And then I'm also gonna cook macaroni, roasted potatoes. And I'll probably saute some spinach. And that's gonna be my dinner for tonight. And then I'm also gonna be meal prepping this for the rest of the week. So I just got back in from walking Prince outside and girl, Prince is not playing around with the rain. Okay, normally it don't really face him, but it is like really pouring down right now, girl. So it was a man, we kind of like walked around my building but there's a man who didn't have an umbrella or whatever. So he was like running back to our building. And so Prince kind of was like thinking, you know, if it helps if somebody running, they're gonna, you know, run to like start playing. But that's normally the door that we usually come back in in. And so he literally like ran up to the door and was like just sitting there like, girl, let me up in this door. So he went to go outside so bad, he was standing by the door and so he went outside. There mommy of that TikTok or where that dog wanted to go outside really bad. And it was like storming, raining, lightning, thunder and all of that. And then it might've been like a drummer's shampy, I probably don't know how to talk about. And then the dog, he finally ran out there and then as big as she was like, there, go, go, go out there. That's what she wanted or something like that. And then instead of being boom, and like lightning struck and the dog literally like behind took all the way under him and ran back into the house. So that's what they reminded me of. So hilarious. But since we back in and he already like wet, I might go ahead and just get him a bath and be clean with me like immediately because my apartment is a total wreck. Let me take it. Anyways, I got my food cooking, roast. I just put some more oil on there. So they're cooking right now. So what I'm about to do is go ahead and pop this chicken breast into the pan over there. Here are my kitchen is just the mess. I haven't ate all day. So I think I want this big one right here. I already got a little bit of oil in there. Pop that mug in now. My macaroni's done. So I got one, two, three, four more chicken breast left. It looks so freaking good. It's already cooked, obviously, the chicken breast, but I like to put it in the pan and add butter, maybe a little bit of salt and pepper, a little oil. And plus when I bought this, it was like in the, not the freezer, but it was kind of like, it had a little bit of ice on there. Or like you can just tell it was really cold. So I like to put it in here to get it extra, extra fresh because I can't, like I couldn't just warm this up in the microwave and eat it like that. Like I have to cook it like this. Plus I like to make a cheese sauce for my roasted potatoes as well as the meat. So when I'm done kind of just heating this up on top of the stove, I'm going to make my own, like kind of like a little cheese sauce or whatever for the potatoes and for the chicken. And I like to make that with heavy whipping cream, my seasonings, a little bit of cheese. So I'm going to let this rest a little bit and then with the flavor from the chicken, I'm just going to go ahead and make the cheese sauce in the same pan. That's a pro tip. I even do this when I'm making like what, use the same thing that your chicken was cooking in, like the same pan to get all of that flavor. So I'm going to do, not much, just going to do a little bit of cheese sauce. Pepper, like to do some garlic powder, a little bit of salt. And we're just going to, it's a lot better before I put the macaroni on there. I'm going to do spinach, but I don't feel like doing it because I'm ready to eat now. And I know I don't really care about vegetables that much anyway, so save it for somebody else. It's 6.50, I'm done eating. I definitely got theitis because girl, I'm really going to take a bath and go to bed. But I have the freaking deep clean. My apartment is a literal mess. It's a literal mess. Y'all will see the deep clean hopefully Thursday, maybe Friday. That's what I'm trying to hear you record it today so that I can edit it all day freaking Tuesday. And hopefully this company know like what I do and you know, just that whole shebang. But yeah, I'm tired. The food got me, not leave me alone, what? He looks so much better after a bath as well. Like he's actually white instead of brown all over now. And then I just like the way his fur be all soft and silky. His ears are still a little bit wet or damp. I guess you can say, hmm, what do you smell good? Oh yeah, you smell real good. Say bye to the people. Say bye. Say bye right here. Hello, bye. All right, I'm gonna talk to y'all a little bit later. I am about to go ahead and switch SD cards and start recording this deep clean with me. Obviously there's gonna be a separate video. So I will see y'all trying to snip. There are a mommy, I was watching Chelsea, Chelsea Jenae and Sebastian then got up on the counter and ate her dang food. And Prince, that's definitely him. He will get anything like, girl, these dogs are just crazy. It don't matter how well you train them or whatever. Like I don't care, like a dog is still gonna be a dog. He's still gonna eat that food, okay? Like literally. I just can't even deal. That was the fact that she caught it on camera was hilarious. Prince normally get into like the trash. Like he never really just got into food that I leave out obviously because he is in his biggest Sebastian but I feel like if I was to leave a, like if I was to leave a plate of food out and then go get in the shower, like leave it out like low, he will definitely get it. Hey y'all, it is 11.58 at night. Literally just got done with my deep clean. It took about four and a half hours simply because I was taking some breaks and was recording. It usually takes a minute to record. So I'm gonna try to put together my new stuff or just put up the new stuff real quick. I mean I gotta work the next two days so it really don't matter. I'll be sleep all day. So I ain't gonna be ever getting nothing done as well as I'm gonna go stay with my men. So I'm not gonna be at home to be able to get anything done. So I was drying my little kitchen towels and these. These are thick. So they took a minute to dry. I washed them as you know, y'all know who hands been touching on that type of stuff. I need to put a lot of clothes actually real quick in the dryer so I was as well. So I'm excited and I'm glad that they're black. I feel like I folded that with a little skin. All right, that's done. I'm tired. Now I gotta take that trash out. Wash the deep clean with me. Y'all should have seen the deep clean with me before this one. But yeah, I'm about to go ahead and unbox these because I'm gonna need this tomorrow. I'm not doing nothing else tonight. I'm about to just unbox all this stuff and get it ready to use. I got literally one plate in the freaking sink and I don't even feel like washing it out. I just don't have the energy. I've been out shopping cleaning this apartment all day long. So yeah, we're done with that. Here he go with his toy. Okay, so it's a pretty decent size. I'm glad I got two. I wish they both would have been black, but you know, beggars can't be choosers, can they? Trying to get these little things out of here. I talked to my best friend today. Y'all know, Nikki. So I was on the phone for like an hour while I was at home goods. We both came to the conclusion that she needs to come back home. Okay, like, just drives me insane. So I'm gonna put these up under my little kitchen cabinet there. Don't try to move now, cause you can't get down. I'm excited to use these. We're gonna get my trash can put together. So we're gonna peel this. I feel like it made me feel like buying this stuff today. It just made me feel like how I feel every time I would like, y'all know I moved every year. I'm not moving this shirt up, but y'all know it just makes me feel like that new apartment excitement, you know, furnishing your new place, living in your new place, so. I like to get new stuff every now and again and stuff that like, you know, I actually would need or whatever. Batteries required. Don't forget your batteries. Can I get a triple A or something? Even go, child. Okay, that's how you open it. Yeah, so like, it's really easy putting on this bag because it's easy putting on this bag. So I'm just gonna have to go and get batteries tomorrow because I thought I had that battery, but it still was like little fat circle ones, not the fat square one. So like these are the kind of big one and like your smoke detectors and stuff. So yeah, I'd be having those double A and triple A. I thought it was gonna take like double A batteries to some girl, so I'm just gonna go ahead and set it up right here. I think, I don't know, because this one is a little bit more slim, but like this one is bulky. So my trash can out showing at all could be quite honest, but at my last apartment, it was kind of hidden under the island so like you couldn't even really see it. And then I remember having it before in my laundry room. Like now that that's like a open and closed one, I would put it in here, but it's like I don't wanna keep moving it back and forth. Right, what if I put it in here? Does that, is that given like living room or is that given kitchen? I don't know. Cause if I put it right here, I feel like that's just all in an open, you know, like I don't like it. Never thought it would be such a life or death matter with a trash can, you know? And I definitely don't wanna put it over there on that side. What do we think about that? I feel like y'all gonna say that cause it's like it's hidden. So when you walk this way, you know, you not immediately seeing a trash can over there. Like it's just wall. Okay, I already know what y'all gonna say. Y'all gonna say keep it over here. So I'm gonna keep it over here cause you can't really see it until you come around this way. So we'll keep it over here. I got a look right here. What y'all think? Should I remove my white pillows or what? I'm about to go back to home goods tomorrow and literally get the same exact pillow. So think about one pillow over there and another pillow over there. I did turn my pillows to the back to have it all black because the design was getting on my nerves again. I can't take it, especially with this rug. I just feel like it was too much going on. So I would like all black pillows with the white. So my only thing is like, this is like giving me really white and this one is not like it's giving dingy. So it's like, should I have a solid pillow to be a pillow right here and then have this? Like it's the fluffiness throwing the couch off again. What y'all think? I don't know. I really want that not pillow on my couch because I don't think it's gonna, I need to take the tag off of here. I don't think it's gonna look good on my bed. Like if this was a black not pillow, I feel like that'd be cute. Which I think, because I got white in my room. I feel like I would want it to be black. You know, let's put that right there. Let me go karate chop my pillow. Which I think, should I get one to go in here as well or no? And the thing is, I just feel like, that is like extremely white compared to like that. That's not that white. Is that not something y'all love too? But y'all know I got white nightstand, that's white. This is white. You know, we got the black, white and green going on. I don't know. Y'all comment down below. Do y'all like it up here as well? Should I buy one to my bedroom or should I get a black one? Don't say go, cause I don't like go. He's not going in here. I think I want to be here. Morning, it's one nightstand in the evening. I just got up about stuff to do today. So, you know, two prints out, brush my face like I did all of that. I also have to work today. So what I'm trying to do right now is I'm on my MacBook in my office or whatever. I'm about to import this deep cleaning footage to my external hard drive. And it usually, since the clips are, I think a little bit long, it usually takes a minute for it to actually upload to my computer, like sometimes take about an hour or so. So I'm gonna go ahead and have this footage importing so that when I get back, I can like take my computer to work with me and edit to go ahead and get a jumpstart on that. So that's what I'm doing. What we have to do today is I think I'm gonna get my nails done. We have to get batteries for my trash can. We also have to go back to home goods because girl, I want another one of those not pillows. And I hope they still have some. Like it was like four or five when I went yesterday. So I kind of want about three just in case I do want to put one in here in my office space. I was trying to do like a full, what is it? Like room transformation, I guess you can say. And yeah, I need y'all opinion basically. So that's why I think I'm just gonna add that into one of my vlogs because only thing I did, I did a few things, but it's like not enough for like a standalone vlog. If that makes sense, like I would have to just add it into something because I'm not sure what exactly I want to do in this room anymore. So I'm gonna clean it up, clean up the room and stuff like that. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow because I don't know, we'll see. But that's what I gotta do. So I may end up buying three not pillows. They 16.90 so we gonna see, we gonna see. I'm for sure buying one. And I think that was all that I needed out of there. Like I'm not gonna go in there and go crazy because I do have some other things to buy pertaining to like the business. I am gonna start a full like entrepreneur vlog. Hey y'all, update. It is, okay, Chris Brown. 232, I would like to be home by like 330. I got my nails done. I tried to record up in there, but girl, it was a few people like looking and like y'all know I'm still shy. So okay, the sun wanna come out the minute I try to show y'all my nails. Like one no sun out today at all. Anyways, we got a cute, regular, classy, French tilt. Get into it. Get into it. I told him not to cut down my nails because I haven't had long nails in a while and this is pretty long for me right now. So I told him just to keep it. I'm gonna get a new set. Y'all know I'm trying to do the first and the 15th. So since I just got my nails done on the ninth, I'm gonna try to keep these nails until the first. Probably like the last week in January so that it technically be my first and then I'll get a fill on the 15th. That's just, it's just gonna have to work out that way because I can never remember like when I get my nails done or when I need to get my nails done. So it's easier for me just to do the first and the 15th of every month. Since I'm over here buying Walmart, I hate this Walmart but I'm gonna go ahead and go to this Walmart and get those batteries for my trash can. And then after I get the batteries, we're gonna go ahead and head to Home Goods. I have my eight today, it's 233. I also need the meal prep for the next two days while I'm at work. So yeah, let me scan my receipt as well. He only took him 30 minutes. I mean, I only got a fill, but it literally, I clocked him. It was 148 and he really got done in 30 minutes. So it's a guy did my nails today. His name is J-A-M. It's usually a girl that do my nails. She always said her number three and I had to say the number six or eight today. He did good though. He was quick and also I didn't record either because as soon as I would try to pull out my phone to record, he already on my other hand that I wanna record with. And then when they start to drill and get close to them cuticles, baby, I'm stuck. I don't do no sudden movements, nothing because you not about to cut me. So when he was on them, he got to them cuticles, girl, I'm okay, stuck. So I'm about to go ahead and go to Wally World. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate this Walmart. I kinda wanna, but Kroger's name be high, no. I need to get gas as well. I think I'm about to go to home goods first actually and then stop at Costco to get gas. And then I may honestly stop at Kroger to get the batteries because I just, I just can't deal with Walmart anymore. So I'll talk to y'all when we get the home goods cause I want this pillow real bad. Three left. Yeah, so I have a code 6704. Yes, and can I just get a McDouble with only cheese mustard and pickles? What's the five one you want for a dollar? I just want one. Pickles, mustard, and cheese, of course. And just a large orange Fanta. I'm starving. Why does it look like my screen is blurry? Am I tripping? Okay, there we go. Now, I did not want McDonald's, but it's right here by home goods. I really wanted Water Burger. It's right up the street as well. But I'm like, I can come here and get all of this stuff for like less than $10. And then it'll literally be, I think my Water Burger meal is like $12 or $13. So I don't want this, but I'm gonna have to get it. And then I'm gonna go home and meal prep. What time is it? It's three or five. I said I want to be home by like 3.30. I need to get those batteries. Where am I to do this thing? Home goods, I need to get gas, I'm gonna get gas. I need to take $50 out of my account because I want to put it in my little cash envelope. Stuffing thingy that I was telling y'all about. So I'm gonna try to start that today. I need to open my meal when I get home. And I need those batteries. I need to look up, I'm starving. Like, I don't hold my fries fresh. I've been craving McDonald's fries. I hope they're fresh. I need my drink to hit. Hey, how are you? I'm good, how are you? Oh, yes, please. Thank you. You too. I wonder what people be thinking when they see the camera. Like, of course a lot of people know what vlogging and stuff is or whatever, but I hope they don't be thinking like the camera like directly on them because maybe it's not. Lord, please let my fries be fresh. I know. Thank you. Maybe she is cold, okay. Y'all know McDonald's, we gotta check. Check our food, man. Ooh, we at my burger, it's fresh and my fries fresh. She said it's cold. Opening up that door back and forth. It's like really, really windy today. Ooh, girl. Thank you, Lord. Now, I know I'm supposed to eat McDonald's, but we ain't even gonna talk about it right now. But when them fries and that burger fresh, busting. And y'all know I told y'all that. I love me a good McDonald's Sprite, but this particular McDonald's Sprite does not hit. Like, I used to get it all the time, morning, evening, night, what have you. It never hit, so that's what made me start getting orange phanta at McDonald's, but I still like me a good Sprite. Not gonna lie, but it's just like, I'd be scared, I already told y'all this before, I'd be scared to get a Sprite, because if it's flat, I'm gonna be pissed and then you gotta go back into whatever, whatever. In the orange phanta, I've only had one bad orange phanta. Every other orange phanta that I've had has been hitting, like, definitely up there with that Sprite. Not gonna lie, but that Sprite a different breed, baby, it got crackin' at the sum, okay? And I am about to roll into Costco parking lot right now. I'm about to eat my food in the parking lot and then I'm gonna get my gas because I don't wanna touch the gas pump and then eat. Even though I do have hand sanitizer, still, I don't wanna do that, plus I got a burger this time, so I'm gonna use my hand sanitizer, obviously, and eat in a car, but I would like to do that before even touching the gas pump, so Costco it is. Comment down below if y'all eating the parking lot because I know a lot more people do it than people like to say. Like, the Chick-fil-A that's close by me, people will get Chick-fil-A and then they'll go to the Target parking lot eating the parking lot, and I'm one of those people. It's just funny because it's like the people that I'll see in the line in the parking lot, like in the Chick-fil-A line, they'll be in the parking lot eating a Chick-fil-A, then they roll off. It's just so funny. What am I doing? I'm up here talking to y'all when I'm supposed to be parkin' and eatin' park right here. It's goin' like that, babe. But yeah, it's funny because everybody who get Chick-fil-A, they literally go to that Target parking lot and literally start eatin'. I do it a lot, especially when the food's fresh and you know you ain't about to be home because I still gotta get gas and stop at Kroger. Yeah, who about to eat right now? I wish I woulda told her to give me some salt packets because you need it fresh, but they could use a little bit more salt, but they got salt. I don't even know how they salt no way. Y'all never wanna lose me. It's stuck in my head. All right, I'm about to get some gas. Got my Sims card, I got my Costco card. I ain't about to get no gas without no money. I'll take my damn card out. Trippin'. Oh, Lord Jesus. 4-11, I need to be getting ready for work. These are the right ones for my trash can. I went ahead and got the actual name brand one so it can actually last a while. I'm gonna need three out of the four for the trash can so hopefully it lasts a long while. And then I think yesterday I showed this knife set in my basket, but I didn't get it yesterday because my total yesterday was only supposed to be $100 and I spent like $95 in home goods. But I really wanted this knife set so when I went back today, I got it. It's only a five-piece set, it was $29.99 compared to $55, but I got it obviously because it's black and matched with aesthetics as well as the whole thing is black but it only comes with five knives and five knives that I actually use. So the one that I have over there right now, it is a lot of, I mean, it's a nice set. It got like a lot of steak knives and stuff in there, y'all know, the kind that literally everybody got now. I got mine in like 2021, but everybody got it. This one, you say some? This one has no steak knives so I'll be able to use all of these because out of that whole thing, I think there's like two, four, six, eight, 10. It's like 11 knives over there and I'll probably use three out of the 11. So I'm like, I might as well just get a really good knife set that I'll use all the knives in there, you know, the ones that I like. So they don't got those rigid edges on them. So I'm excited about this one. I'm about to open this up actually to make sure, you know, everything in here. And also it won't take up as much space over there because this apartment, I'm limited on counter space. So this one is a lot smaller than my other one over there. I'm not going to use, put these in a dishwasher. I'm just going to leave them in the sink and clean them myself because my other one, I put those in the dishwasher and they said they were dishwasher safe, but they kind of rusted up a little bit as well. So, oh yeah, these are nice. The other thing I got, obviously you guys know, that's what I went in there for. I got another knife to love. They had three left. So I got two out of the four that they initially had. So we're going to go ahead and put this on the couch and see how she looks. How do we like that? Should I just keep the two? Like one on this and get off. All right, do we like that you guys? What we thinking, what we thinking? I just feel like the white, not pillows are just so freaking white and it's like throwing off with these pillows. I haven't like watched these pillows or anything. I think I should wash and bleach them, but are they going to still keep the same fluffiness? I don't know. Haven't took the tags off these yet either because yeah, trying to make sure they actually go. I don't know, I just feel like the white fluffy pillow is throwing me off. So I'm going to need some other type of pillow, but I do like the not pillows over there. I like that it looks a lot slimmer over here and I have a lot to work with now. I'm going to do something like that. How do y'all like it like this? Or should I just keep it like this? I used to have my stuff like this. This over here in the corner and then that like that. Which way? We're going to go like that for right now. Okay then. Yeah, we real fancy witty. Good morning y'all. Good morning. It's 7.15, I just got home. Just took prints outside and everything. Be ready to play. And baby, it's bed time. So yeah, I know I'm trying to do the weekly vlogging thing. Today is Wednesday, 7.15 in the morning. I'm Lily about to cook breakfast, shower and stuff. Take my sleeping pill and go to bed. I'm going to be asleep all day. So for Wednesday, it's literally just going to be spending the morning with me. Other than that, I'm going to be at work. And then I'll talk to y'all again tomorrow morning when I'm on my way to take prints to his grandparents house. Yeah, cause it's like 47 now. So I left my camera at the house and the lighting is horrible, but down here with my man spending two days with him, he's putting air in my tire because they're low up freaking again. 36, I'm sorry, it just updates so late. Okay, so I'm on 33, 31, 32 and 36. It's just going to have to work. All right y'all, I'll talk to y'all later. Thanks man. Yeah. See who's gonna say I'm camera.
