 Welcome back to another YouTube video. This week we are in southern France. This place is the most gorgeous place I have probably ever been to. On Instagram you probably know that country style homes are definitely my preference of interior design. And I would say my house in Connecticut is very New England salt box, sort of New England cottage. This is truly French country. And yeah I'm actually going to leave the link to this Airbnb in the bio of the description. I wouldn't normally do that just for privacy reasons, but we would probably only come here for this week out of the year. And I don't know if we're going to be coming back here to this tournament next year. This tournament is a little bit different and it's not on Tommy's normal schedule, but I am honestly so glad that it worked out this way because this tournament has broke up the fact that I'm going to be in major cities in Europe for like three and a half weeks. So I love that everything happens for a reason. This is so nice and relaxing and beautiful. Anyways guys I'm about to do the most French thing possible and it's not really by choice. Although it is fun activity. I would probably rather drive, but I tried calling an Uber to the supermarket which is about 0.3 miles away from our Airbnb and no one picked up my Uber. I think it's still calling. It's been calling for like 15 minutes. So I'm going to bike. The funniest part about this excursion right now is the fact that I actually used to mountain bike so random but not that random if you grew up in and around mountains. It's a common activity. So I used to mountain bike and road bike as kind of cross training for skiing because that's kind of what everyone does in like this game. Because in the off season of skiing there are a lot of mountain bike trails. So in the shed here there was a mountain bike and then there was this bike that I'm on right now, but this has a basket on it. So made the executive decision to go with the basket. I'm going to head there now. This tripod on the bike situation is sketching me out a little bit, but I'm going to head to the market. Also I had a really hard workout yesterday. My legs are so sore. The fact that I'm going to have to come back up this hill is so fucking sickening. Okay guys, I just finished up at the market. They didn't have a whole chicken to go to the butchery. I have this whole really heavy thing of groceries. I got as much as I could or I thought that would fit in my basket. I also got a ton of strawberries. Let's just not talk about the bike ride that I just had back up to the house. That was fucking crazy. Call Tommy and I told him what happened and he was like made and yep, yep. But guys, how amazing does this look besides the fact that the butcher shop didn't have any more chicken, whole chickens. I think people usually buy them earlier in the day. I need to figure out what I'm going to make for dinner now, but very happy with this grocery haul. I love this brand of yogurt in the States and apparently it's even better in France and obviously got some French butter. Excited though to get some local butter when I head to the farmers market and got some fresh eggs too. We're going to be making the roasted chicken that goes in the oven for about an hour and a half and then we're going to make a truffle risotto. So we got this truffle risotto from the market and we didn't know what it said, the recipe. So on Google translate the app. I didn't know this. You can just take a picture of it like that and then it literally translates the whole recipe for you. Yep. Wow. That's so cool. Hey guys, I was just in my meeting and Tommy was like, there's a huge frog. I didn't realize it was going to be this big. Oh shit. Good morning guys. Today Tommy is clinging in his first match. So I just got dressed. Amanda and I are going to hopefully go get a croissant and then head to his match. My whole outfit is actually from Revolve. I'll show you guys in a second and then I'll link everything below. Wait, that's really, really cute. You look so good. We've just been hanging out and cooking a lot. I've been really relaxing and nice being here, but excited to watch him play. He's going to wear these glasses that I've been wearing a lot recently. They're just very easy. But yeah, let's go. Okay guys, we're going to get a croissant or sorry, I got ripped yesterday. It's a pan-au-chocolat. Wait, did you say croissant or did you say pan-au-chocolat? I said yesterday I was like, oh this is the best chocolate croissant I've ever had. Oh my god. It's like nothing to you of these people. Yeah, no. I was kidding. Some people were being nice and being like, oh babes, it's not how you say it. I don't really know what the difference is. It literally tasted like a chocolate croissant. Everything here runs out midday. I went to go get a chicken later in the day and it was sold out. We're just good. I feel like they don't waste as much food here, but you have to go to the bakery early in the morning. Oh my god. Sheep. You have to go to the bakeries early in the morning here. But I'm hoping that there will be some left. Also guys, this morning these hikers just walked into our Airbnb. Did you hear me? I did. No, no, no, no, no. I literally was. She walked in with her hiking stick and she was like, they probably thought it was a bathroom. No, I think they thought it was like a museum or something. I thought it was Amanda and I was like, good morning. Hello. Realized it was this old woman and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like I didn't know what to say. The only words that could come out of my mouth were no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Do you think these are better or the other ones are better? These are pretty good. They are really good. They're different. We went to a different place yesterday that was close. I got you a water. Thank you. Now we're just going to head back to the house. Probably go to the market and get stuff for dinner. Okay, we stopped at the grocery store on the way home from the tournament. To do a little haul for you guys. Got some peas that I'm going to peel and get the peas out of. Probably going to put that in the salad. Then I got these tomatoes. They've been so, so good. Got this bacon, some strawberries, avocado, shallot, onion, lettuce. Big filet, some lemonade, some beef broth stuff because I'm going to make a red wine sauce for the filet. So tonight we're going to do like a big salad with filet, with sauce. And yeah, going to go change out of this outfit and then start cooking dinner. Good morning guys. I'm just in my PJs. Going to go run and get a coffee and a croissant in town. And then I'm going to come back and get ready for Tommy's match today. All we're matching. Okay, I'm just finishing up getting ready for Tommy's match. He is in the semifinals today of this tournament. And then the finals are tomorrow. So right after the final, we're going to be flying to Rome. I've been like not spending that much time on my phone, honestly, on my computer, which has been nice. I thought I would sit down and finish up my makeup with you guys and chat a little bit. Spending less time on my phone and on social media has been a really nice change. Something that I've been really working on. I would say in the past two years is really just tried to be much more intentional with everything that I do. So by that, I mean who am I hanging out with? What am I eating and just being like intentional, like not hanging out with people that don't make me feel good. Also not overly consuming videos and social media content that I don't need to be looking at. That's not benefiting my life in any way. I'm also just not aimlessly scrolling on my phone anymore. I just feel like it's very important to be very intentional with everything in your life. That does take being self-disciplined though and consciously every day reminding yourself to be present, don't live online and just to like stay in your own lane and really just focus on yourself in your own life. I really only follow people and consume content of people that really make me feel good and inspire me. And yeah, I'm just in like a big cleanse. I feel like the past year and I feel like I've grown up a lot. I feel like it's taken self-discipline and it's not always been easy, but it's definitely been worth it. I also feel like I've done a really good job recently like not reacting to people and things. And that's definitely something that's harder for me because I don't know. I am a very empathetic person and I care a lot. I realize that a lot of times these people are just looking for a reaction, not an explanation. And I'm being very vague like refers to a lot of different things. But yeah, I think I really just had to have a conversation with myself like a year ago and I basically just had to be like if this is going to be your job and this is what you love to do, then you have to be smarter about who you are around, what type of social media you're consuming and then how you're interacting with people on social media and what you're letting into your life. And in terms of me responding to things online and people and trolls and people being weird on social media, saying and doing things that are just like weird, I realize that the second that I respond or say something about it, that means it's like actually something that's in my life. Like learning to just not give up, just like protect my peace has made the biggest difference in my mental health and with social media. I think that's easier for me to do now in my life because I'm not like chronically living online. My life and my happiness is not dependent on my social media. It's not dependent on my vlogs. This is something that I really love to do and it's my job, but I have so many other amazing, very like rich parts of my life. I have very amazing friends. I have a very amazing family and support system and boyfriend and life. So I'm really just like living in my real life. Everything that's said online and done online a lot of the times is just like this make believe thing. Like what all that matters is that my real life is really good. But yeah, this just all has to do with like me being more mindful and intentional and I'm just trying to be more present. Anyways, I'm gonna finish getting dressed. I'm just wearing this black bodysuit. I think I'm gonna wear a little denim skirt and then black shoes. And then maybe one of those like shoulder sweater things, although it might feel a little bit hot for that. Okay, guys, I am all ready to go to the mat. Just wearing this black bodysuit, this denim skirt, black slides. And then this little button up just in case it gets cold. And then these list back glasses that I wear almost every day. He's drunk. Tommy just won his match. Just now he's in the finals. And yeah, right after the finals tomorrow, we're actually heading to the airport to go to Rome. And Amanda's coming with us. Now we're just gonna do the usual go to the market stuff for dinner. Just so beautiful here. Gonna miss it. But I have to say I am really excited to go to Rome. I went to Italy with my family for three and a half weeks like two years ago. Three years ago. I don't know, that's crazy, but Rome was actually my favorite out of everywhere that we went. So I'm really excited. I rented a moped or like a Vespa with my brother. We just like ripped around the whole city and I really want to do that. Really excited for Rome and pasta, although I'm really gonna miss cooking because I've been cooking so much here. This vlog is like literally a cooking show. I feel like I only eat a vlog of cooking. But yeah, excited to eat pasta. Okay, we decided to come get crepes. And oh, it looks cute. Good morning guys. I just finished getting ready for the match. I'm wearing this little set that I got last year at the Paris Rolex Masters. I'm really glad that I am wearing it again because I really like this. But today Tommy is in the finals. I'm gonna go ahead to the match now.
