 Welcome back to another vlog. I think this is the first time I've talked today, so it feels weird. That's not true, I've talked to Drew, but I guess just to a camera it feels odd. But hi, welcome. I am desperately trying to set a routine for myself today. That's honestly the goal. I think for the last, you know, honestly since the beginning of May, I have just been all over the place. I've had trips planned, I've had moving. We planned a trip out here to like see this place and all these different things. And I am really feeling the effects of it, which is weird because I never really had a routine, like growing up. I don't think I was really a routine based person, but I have become that as an adult. And I would say since pretty much like our trip here in April, just when we visited, like before we even knew we were moving back, I think since then everything's just been a little bit thrown off. And like that's totally fine. That's because life is amazing and we got to travel and we got to move back to like our favorite city and all these wonderful things. But yeah, I just feel the effects of going nonstop for the last like two, three months. And then also like not having any kind of routine. So all that to say. Got up this morning, did a workout, made a smoothie, walked the dog obviously, that's like the first thing we do. Played with Mu a little bit, got myself showered. I put some self-tanner on my face so that hopefully we can like match this situation a little better. My sunburn is doing much better. It's honestly just really like a tan at this point. So pretty pleased about that. Definitely need to lather on the sunscreen the next time I go in the sun though. And I've been doing that every day anyways. But today is really just gonna be like an editing catch up day. I was actually supposed to drive and see Alexa this morning, but I texted her and I was like, I need a day to catch up. And she was like, it's totally fine. So we're gonna FaceTime tomorrow and like make a plan soon. But I think I just need to like catch up on as much editing work as I possibly can. I have an editor who helps me with certain main channel videos, but there are other ones that I just wanna edit for myself. So that is what I'm gonna be doing today, catching up on editing vlogs, catching up on editing main channel videos and just, you know, relaxing, like settling in. Let's head into my room. I genuinely want to edit from my bed today. And that is one of the amazing benefits that comes from working this job is that sometimes I can edit in my bed or on my couch if I want to. And I really just wanna sit in my bed. So that's what I'm gonna do. Don't mind the sound of the fan behind me. I was doing a workout earlier and I was sweating, but this entire outfit is airy today. These white bike shorts I got, I think like two years ago, it was when I did a collab with Sierra where we sent each other clothing items and like had to style them. And they're really comfy and they're clean. So that's why I'm wearing them. And then this like little brawlet top. I think I showed it in a vlog, but it's also from airy. And we're just going with comfy vibes today. So I will check in with you in a bit after I've gotten some editing done. Fingers crossed for me. What do you need to go for a walk? Oh, do I go for a walk? Drew has a tiny bit of peanut butter sandwich. She's following him everywhere. Okay, that's rare. Don't come for us. Let's go for a walk. It's about noon now and we just took a little break. Laila's taking a break from lounging outside and we're going on another little walk. Lately, since we moved here, she's been getting like three walks a day and she's literally so happy and it's so cute. Yeah, they're short. She can't go for like extended periods of time because of arthritis, but she enjoys it so much and it makes her so happy and it's really cute. It is absolutely stunning outside today. And also I was really, really brave and I made a phone call and made an appointment for myself and I was so brave and I need everyone to acknowledge how brave I was. If it looks like I just woke up from a nap. It's cause I did. I definitely did. I'm gonna make some lunch. I am so tired. I don't sleep very well on like an average night. Also Drew's in a meeting so I'm trying not to talk too loud but on an average night, I sleep six, maybe seven hours. Seven hours is a good night, but usually like six. And like I wake up so freaking early so last night was no exception. I'm going to make a salad because I have not been making my favorite salads like at all since I've been here. I've been eating like a ton of Postmates and there's nothing wrong with that but I just definitely feel pulled to like eat some more veggies this week. So I actually have some leftover sweet green that I got yesterday and like normally I wouldn't eat a leftover salad but this is like a bowl and it's mostly just chicken with like some sweet potato. I got an extra dressing. So I think this might actually be okay and I might just like put it over some kale. It smells delicious and I'll just like add some stuff to it. And kale, obviously. I'm a kale girly through and through. It's just my fave. I do have a salad spinner but I'm not gonna lie, I'm way too lazy to use that right now. Throw some kale in here and I'm going to put the dressing. It's like some kind of like hot honey mustard or something. It's really good. There's some pistachios. Got some of these like Trader Joe's brand Parmesan crisps. I think they're Parmesan. And a cheese pie. Drew's out of his call. Food shaming meat. These aren't as good as the like Parmesan crisps brand but it'll do. I really am in the mood for some cucumber and carrot. I'm gonna do a little bit of that. Maybe just like a little veggie plate. I wish I had some more. We have these dips from the farmer's market but do it also. I might actually put a little bit of this cucumber in the salad as well. Is it weird that I'm cutting these cucumbers on a tea towel? I don't know. I'm too lazy to get a cutting board. And I'm gonna put my sweet green. It's like quinoa carrots, cabbage, chicken. Oh, I need to choose my spicy water, obviously. I'm thinking so I have a little bit of key lime, a little bit of lemon cello and a little bit of watermelon left. I might do the last lemon cello. This one's very interesting. It's like a vanilla lemon flavor. I'm gonna mix it up so we can get some dressing. I'm going throughout. I'm into it. I'm not into these massive pieces of cabbage, but it's good. So I'm going to just scarf this down as quickly as possible because I really need to get back to work. I'm going to enjoy this and then we will continue with this work day. I look so tired. So while later, my face tan has definitely kicked in. It's looking, I don't know, I'm adjusting. But anyways, we did get a package. We ordered some like other towels from Bagu. That's where our bathroom towels were from. And we also ordered some like extras to have as, you know, for when the other ones are washing. And then I also ordered, look at it. Oh, so cute. Isn't it? It's human, oh. Yeah. So a little sort of like cooler bag. Yeah, it's like a decent size too. It's definitely like for the beach. Yeah, it'd be perfect for the beach or like a little picnic. You could buy like reusable ice packs. Yeah. For sure. Like how cute is that? And this print is called Farmers Market. So cute little vegetables on that. And then the towels that we got are the smelly face print. They're so cute. So these are going to be for when our checkered towels are in the wash. Or for guests. Or for guests. Yeah, guests come over. Are you okay? No, I'm coming on you. I'm coming all the way down cutting an onion. We're making curry, like a really simple curry for dinner. And by curry I mean yellow curry sauce from Trader Joe's. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Deeply not a real curry at all, but like quick and easy. So that's what we're doing. Drew and I have decided that what this day needs is some baked goods. He's cooking dinner. I'm going to make us dessert. We bought this brownie mix like when we first got here. Or maybe even before we moved. I'm thinking that some brownie action needs to happen. This is how real bakers bake from the box. I'm really in desperate need of a great race wake off season. And I know it usually airs during the summer if I'm not mistaken. But we always get it later. Three tablespoons water, half a cup of oil, two eggs. Feels like a lot of oil, but okay. It did already grease my dish. So nobody come for me. And yes, I did use a Tupperware to mix this because there's no rules. And she goes for 22 minutes. It is time to sit on the couch. And what we would normally do is watch Love Island. However, in our quest to air play Love Island from our VPN on the laptop, you know, as an update, we can't get it to work. So we ended up just watching it just straight from my laptop. So that's what we're gonna do later. We laid in bed and watched like what, four episodes last night? Three or four. Three or four. So that's probably gonna be the plan for tonight. But we're just gonna go back to our old classic tried and true favorite escape to the country. We love it so much. I hope it's a Jules episode because he's my favorite. All right, dinner is done. Brownie Sundays, well just brownies with ice cream is made. We're gonna crawl into bed and watch Island. What? Watch Island. We're gonna crawl into bed. Watch Love Island. We're gonna crawl into bed and watch Love Island and we will catch up with you another time. Goodbye. Good morning. I am headed to the nail salon today because if you missed a couple of vlogs ago or last vlog, I unfortunately had a horrible nail salon experience and less than 12 hours after getting my nails done, all of the gel polish was like falling off of my nails like one by one in like whole pieces. It was awful. So I'm trying a new salon today. Actually it was recommended by one of my friends and I saw a couple of people on Instagram talk about it too. So that is where we're gonna head and fix these tragic nails. Like no, it's time. I'm gonna try GELX for the first time. So let's see. I felt like this was interesting to talk about because it's something that I actually get asked about a little bit and that's my lash extensions. So I haven't gotten lash extensions since probably like shortly before we moved. So mid June and it's now mid July and I actually had a lash appointment booked for two days from now and I canceled it this morning and I think I'm going to take my lash extensions off at home. I'm not looking for advice on like if I should do that or not cause I'm just gonna do it. So what I did kind of want to talk about was that I am actually like taking them off not because I don't want them anymore but because I feel like I've, I don't know like relied on them too much to feel pretty or to feel put together or whatever. And like genuinely it's making me, I feel like I need them and I don't like that feeling. That feeling actually grosses me out and I have become so obsessed with lash extensions that oh, I'm so mask enough. But like after a week of having them and they start like falling out and they don't look perfect I'm like freaking out thinking that I'm ugly and that I don't look nice. And you know what I mean? Like it's just not, I don't want to be in this cycle of feeling like I need any kind of beauty treatment. I know I'm going to the nail salon right now but I'm fine with my nails it's whatever I would like them to look better right now but with the lashes I don't know I have a lot of truthfully like dysmorphia when it comes to my face and like the way it looks and the way I look without makeup it's been a thing for most of my life especially because of my skin which doesn't help a lot but I don't know if anyone else is out there that is felt the same way I just wanted to kind of speak on it because usually when I talk about things and I'm like nobody feels this way and then I get so many comments and DMs from people being like you have no idea like I feel the exact same way. So I don't know I started at the beginning of this year treating myself to like a lot of different beauty treatments and I stand by those like I've loved them they've been amazing for my confidence and just self-care in general but I have felt like with the lash extension specifically that's half of it like is feeling you know like I'm not put together unless I have them and unless they're like fresh and perfect and I don't want to feel that way and secondly sort of the other half of it is that I don't enjoy lash appointments. In fact I'm like crawling out of my skin every time some people can just lay there and fall asleep and relax or like listen to a podcast or an audio book I cannot I'm in panic mode the entire time. I talked about this during my first lash appointment like I don't know a few months ago and I had like a mini panic attack and that was like the first time I've had a panic attack in years honestly like or come close to one and it was bad it was like my body was trembling and stuff and it was embarrassing and I was sweating and I just I don't want to do that anymore. So anyways that's my little mini rant but Drew just text me it was like you left me he was on a call when I left. I have nothing else to say that's pretty much it I'm gonna call him back and we're gonna get our nails done let's do it.
