 Today I wanted to make this video about getting my life together because last week two weeks ago my dog passed away and I was just mourning not doing anything which is fine obviously and then last week no sorry that was three weeks ago and two weeks ago I was sick so I was just on the couch couch bound doing nothing and then last week I was still kind of like sick and I getting over my cough and stuff so I didn't work out I was just still kind of trying to do my routine but no working out and I just feel like I haven't jumped back into my routine yet and today I just want to kind of get my shit together because I haven't worked out in three weeks I've been on like a walk but I haven't like worked out like been to the gym so I'm really excited to come to the gym yesterday was Thanksgiving here in Canada and I ate a lot which is fine I love to indulge but now I just feel like I really want to work out so I'm really excited we're getting our life back together I just have like a few things that I need to do today errands and yeah I'm trying to bring you guys along my day and hopefully this gives you motivation because a lot of the times in life it's very extremely hard to have motivation and actually keep the motivation I heard this quote and it was like motivation comes and goes but it's determination that like pushes you through because sometimes I have to like force myself to come to the gym because I'm like I know it's gonna make me feel good but my body is like too I'm lazy I'm like I don't want to go but then I'm like I know I just need to force myself because I know it's gonna make me happy that's the determination coming through when I don't have motivation if that may make sense but anyways let's go work out I'm really excited yay okay so I just finished my workout it wasn't like the best workout obviously because I haven't been to the gym in three weeks but it was just like a start so I'm just happy that I went I'm happy that I did the workout you know those workouts you have when you just don't have the best workout but it's still like you're happy you did it that's exactly what what today was which is fine because I'm just like I said glad that I did it yeah anyways I just want to put this girl who owns a candle company and she gifted me some candles so I'm so excited to show you guys them when I'm home she was so sweet she reached out to me on Instagram and I'm so excited I'll have her candles website linked down below because she does like vegan non-toxic candles she's like girl those candles at home since they're like pretty toxic and it's like I know that like I know better but yeah I've actually it's funny that she reached out to me so I was looking for like a good candle company like a vegan like non-toxic one and I'm just so happy and so excited to try out her candles and she's local business and I'm so excited now I'm just going to go to Lennon Drugs because I want to get my film camera developed I've had this for literally like maybe four months now I don't even remember when I started taking the photos so I'm really excited to see it's kind of like a Christmas surprise when you get the photos back because you're like holy shit I don't remember doing that or that or that or that and that's why I love these things so if you guys I've never tried a disposable camera I would a hundred percent recommend doing it but this has just been like an errand that I've been putting off it's getting this developed so we're gonna get that done today and just do it the weather is like low key hovery now I wore this jacket cuz it was freezing this morning and the weather's just like weird like up and down it's supposed to be oh it's only 13 degrees right now what it feels hotter I guess cuz the Sun is like beaming on me right now but anyways let's go do this errand cuz this is something I've been putting off and then yeah then I'm gonna do quick stop at the grocery store all right so I literally just walked in the door and one pee because I had to go so bad but I'm so hungry and we are going to make I'm gonna show you guys how to make the over both they're so good I just picked up at the store so I run on a yogurt some Greek vegan yogurt so it's made with oat and coconut milk and this one just has more protein so that's why I picked it cuz it's like Greek yogurt version I got some banana soup cuz the bananas that we had Joe freeze them so we have no like right but okay let's make it I'm so excited all right so obviously you can use any yogurt and so you're just gonna fill the bowl with however much you're where you want so now you can take like a fruit of choice I just like putting banana but raspberries strawberries like really whatever you want as your fruit but I like putting a full banana so now I've just put in oats I don't know I just really like the taste of them like they're just like big rolled oats and then I put cocoa nids these are just the ones that I use and they're pretty healthy for you they're just like kind of chocolate but not sweetened they're pretty bitter but they're really good in this bowl so I just kind of sprinkle those over top and then I just put like a spoonful of this natural peanut butter and it's so good so I just take like a huge spoonful honestly like a pretty big amount I go ahead and put in like this much peanut butter and I just kind of leave it there and then when I eat it I just kind of take bites out of it that makes sense and then last thing I do this is a very optional but I just like kind of drizzle maple syrup over top of it because it just makes it a little bit sweeter and I like it that way just because this yogurt that I'm using isn't sweetened so having maple syrup on it just makes it taste a lot better yeah so that's literally it and it's so good you guys I'm obsessed with it so here's how it turned out and it this actually has a lot of protein because of the yogurt that I use a Greek yogurt has like 13 grams per serving and I'm pretty sure I have like two servings in here so it's really good it could be really good protein and it's so easy and so yummy 100% recommend you guys try this out but I'm just gonna enjoy this right now and then we'll shower okay I'm gonna hop in the shower now because obviously just go back from the gym but that was so good that oh so good I'm gonna shower now and then I am going to burn a cute candle and then we're gonna do some work and I'll have a little haul to show you guys so yeah so little tip when I'm in the shower I like to play this playlist by Apple music it's just called spa Apple music well-being and I just like shuffle the playlist and I love listening to this when I shower because it makes me feel like I'm in a spa or something and it honestly is just so calming so if you guys have Spotify they probably have something similar to this but I swear it's the best thing ever because it makes you feel like you're in a spa and yeah it's just so calming just got out of the shower I honestly don't feel like putting anything extravagant on today so we're just rocking the sweatshirt and the sweat pants because I feel like being comfy but we're still gonna be productive but I just I just feel like being comfy like I don't really want to put on an outfit today but so I actually wanted to talk to you guys about something that I've been recently doing that's really been honestly the best thing ever and what I've been doing is every single morning I have not been looking at my phone because I got back into the habit recently looking at my phone in the morning for like 10 to 15 minutes and even though that's not like a lot of time it's still like I'm looking at my phone in the morning for 10 to 15 minutes and it makes me feel so disgusting honestly and so groggy doing that then I started with the five minute journal again doing that first thing that's like so quick right so what I do now when I wake up is I'll get up I'll go brush my teeth do all that and then right away won't look at my phone I'll come and I'll journal I've never been a big journaler in terms of like writing things down but in the morning I'm like so excited to get up and journal like it's honestly something that I've been looking forward to like I've been doing it for a week and a half straight now and it's the best thing in the world I'm obsessed I don't think I'm ever gonna stop and I just journal about random things whether that's how my previous day was whether it's just like a thought that came into my mind or dream or whatever but it's honestly just therapeutic doing it for like 10 to 15 minutes in the morning and not looking at my phone and then I go straight into my meditation straight into my yoga and then after I do like all that then I'll let myself look at my phone and stuff but it's honestly so freeing and it's been the best thing that I've incorporated into my morning routine in a while yeah I'm just so happy and it makes me feel so good so if you guys are looking to switch up your morning routine or you're kind of like realizing that you just go on your phone in the morning and it doesn't make you feel good I would suggest doing this because it's honestly been the best thing for me and now I don't even want to look at my phone in the morning because I'm kind of like almost distracting myself while doing this but this is just so beneficial feels like therapy right in the morning and it's amazing so just thought I'd tell you guys that sorry if you keep hearing this beeping we have something wrong with our fire alarms in our apartment so we need to change but as you can see we have to like where's where's the fire alarm up here we have to unscrew it off of the ceiling so if you keep hearing like a brunette beep sorry about that all right now I'm gonna unbox those candles that I got today I'm so excited she said Mikaela enjoy your vegan soy wax candles that is so cute so excited her name is Bryn by the way oh my god oh my goodness pumpkin chai are you kidding me oh my god that smells so good and look at how cute that is oh my god this is so cute thank you so much Bryn if you're

and everything down below she's the sweetest ever and I'm so excited I'm gonna burn these right now or not burn all of them at once but I'm gonna pick one to burn okay so I wanted to show you guys my most recent purchases as of yesterday so me my mom my sister went shopping cuz we were originally going for gifts but then I came across the uggs that I have been wanting for so long and there was a last one in my size last ones they are pretty much and so yeah I ended up getting the minis they are so cute they're not the ultra minis I originally wanted the ultra minis but they're just literally out of stock everywhere and they're not coming back in stock for a few months so I was like you know what the these are second best and they're so cute I'm obsessed with them but yeah I'm just so happy because I know that I'm gonna be wearing those like every single day like I'm gonna get my use out of them let me know if you guys have a pair of UGGs and which ones you have some just curious I feel like the ultra minis everybody and their mom has them so curious which ones do you guys have if you have a pair but I know that I'm gonna be wearing them all fall and all winter like non-stop and then I also picked up yesterday you I saw me wearing it this morning but I got this jacket from Argene's it is still like the exact same one that Aritzia sells for like 250 but I got this one for like $50 I think it was originally gonna buy the one from Aritzia and then we walked in Argene's and then I saw this one and I'm like are you kidding me it's literally the same thing the quality is probably not as good as Aritzia but it is like so cute and I'm obsessed with it already yeah I love it so much and this is like a jacket that's super in style right now but it's technically like the Aritzia dupe so I'll link it down below if I can find it on their website but I just got it in store and I got it in a size small for reference so here's how they look I'm obsessed with them they are so freaking cute I just know that these are so dangerous and they're not gonna come off my feet I think I'm gonna go on Amazon though and buy like a protector spray just so that I don't ruin them like my other ones because it does rain a lot here and I know they're not waterproof so yeah that's the only thing but they're so adorable oh my gosh I love them so I'm currently heading out to a coffee shop with Brini because I really just want to switch up my work environment today I was talking in my patreon and everybody was somehow just like going to a coffee shop today like we were talking about it in a group chat and that also really did inspire me I was like oh my god I really want to go to a cute coffee shop and work now so so we're doing but of course I threw on the mini eggs because why not here's I got a pumpkin sweet cream cold foam and it's so good I got the cream with oat milk instead of like cream cream but it's so good and yeah I'm with Brini and now we're just gonna work and edit so I just wanted to quickly say something that was on my mind do kind of like a moments episode I was thinking and in life we tend to like rush a lot of things in general like even just like from your day-to-day life when for example you want to go get something but there's like a big line up and you're like complaining you're like oh I don't want to wait in this line like it's such a long line but it's like what is the rush like I feel like just in our day-to-day lives and and also in like the long run we're just trying to rush so many things when it's like if you just sit back be present and enjoy the journey that's when you're gonna appreciate everything the most and just be so present yeah like for example me my mom and my sister were at the mall yesterday and we want to get a Starbucks drink and there was like a huge lineup but we were just like what's the rush like why don't we just like enjoy being in this lineup be present and like there's really no rush I was thinking about that in the general sense of life too and I'm like there's no need to rush anything if you're working towards something it's like you want to get there so bad but at the end of the day it's the journey that's what's most fun and if you rush that and you're always just like wanting to get to the end goal then you're gonna regret not enjoying your journey and that just like stems from the smallest things like standing in the lineup to working towards a goal or something but yeah so I just like realized how important it is just to really sit back and stop rushing everything there's no need to do that and I just feel like you can have a greater sense of appreciation and gratitude if you just kind of are present in your everyday life so yeah that's something that I'm trying to work on is just becoming more present in the grand scheme of things and also and just like my everyday life but I just wanted to say that because I was on my mind and I think that it's like so important to just really enjoy every single day because I feel like we a lot of the times just take every single day for granted and it's like if we just step back and realize how lucky we are just to be on this earth it's kind of crazy like the chances that we're actually here in getting to live this and experience this journey is crazy and it's sometimes obviously easy to forget that that was just something that was on my mind and I wanted to share so I'm now home now I got a lot of work done at Starbucks it was so good feel really productive but I am just now checking the discord group chat in my patreon and I literally love you guys so much I'm so happy I have this like you guys are giving each other advice right now we actually have a challenge going on where we are challenging each other for three days not to go on tiktok because Sab in the group chat she was like yeah I didn't go on tiktok for like a month and she took that cleanse just to see how it went and she said that it like literally changed her life and she feels so much better and so I was like you know what why don't we create a challenge where we can do like weekly challenges that would be so much fun so right now we're doing a tiktok challenge and we're kind of reporting back and we are just having the best conversations in this group chat and it's just like so amazing to see how amazing you guys are and the support that we're all gonna have for one another now going forward it just like my heart is so warm right now and I'm also posting an exclusive vlog today on there too going up in half an hour I just scheduled it but talking in this group chat is bringing me so much joy and this community is amazing like everybody has each other's backs and it's just so good so cool getting to know you guys and chat with you and seeing where you're from and everything and what you do I feel like I have so many new friends now I'm just gonna do this for a bit longer and then I'm just gonna clean and then do some laundry and just get shit done that I've been putting off like getting my let's we gotta keep getting out of back together here
