 Somebody feel me. Somebody tell me the answer. Me who isn't the answer. Me who isn't. Maybe I'm telling myself that but there ain't nothing that'll change that. What good would it be if I knew how you felt about me. That kid is real strong and I know that I can't get caught. Welcome back to another video. Y'all it's twenty twenty-five. I can't believe it's the new year already and I just came back from Africa. I got my hair done out there. It was super cute and I'm really just trying to bounce back and get him back into my routine. I feel like I've fallen off but I'm trying to get back on girl. One thing about it, I am not going to fall off when it comes to my sense. The scent that I'm wearing today is from Sandbird. It's from Anishio. It's the Ood for greatness and oh my god y'all Sandbird is the perfect way to figure out what is your new scent for this twenty twenty-four. This video is in partnership with Sandbird. You don't know what Sandbird is. Sandbird is a perfume subscription website where you get to try out new perfumes each and every single month for only seventeen dollars. Love that Sandbird gives you a thirty day supply for each and every single sample that they send you. I need a full thirty days to figure out if the scent is for me or not. It's also so overwhelming when I'm in the store and I'm trying to figure out if I like the scent and the sales associates on my bag I don't like I should buy this perfume. No. This is so easy and convenient for me to be out the way and try perfumes at peace. And Sandbird has so many perfumes to choose from and colognes and also unisex options. I'm going to talk about the scents that I got this month. So the first one I'm going to get into is Dime Tuesday Date Night. It has cardamom, iris, leather, cedarwood and ember. And this is giving me very much Soundtile vibes. Very unisex. It's perfect for every day. Y'all if you love Layla Bull Soundtile 26 this is going to be right up your alley. It's called Celestial Petruely. If you are into Petruely y'all this is so sexy. I was wearing this throughout my trip and I was getting endless compliments. This is that scent that you want people to run you down and ask you about because it's very mysterious because it's like what is that saying? It smells so good. I want to go out and buy the full bottle. It has Petruely, cedarwood and cinnamon bark in there. Next we're going to get into commodity rain. It has Water Must Lotus Blossom Lemon. This smells very clean. Fresh out the shower. And I feel like both sexes will enjoy this. A man or a woman if you love to smell. Just very clean and just fresh out the shower. The last one is definitely my favorite. I love a good wood wood scent. It's the initial wood for greatness. It has Musk Petruely Saffron Lavender and wood oil. Very woodsy. And I feel like this is the perfect scent to set off a date night. So you'll be able to try out scent bird as well.

Hey y'all, welcome to the first vlog of the new year. And I'm with Cadet. And we are at World Market. And I want a new corner table. I want to do like a little home refresh as I've been seeing. And I've been doing a little thing to my home, whatever. Just for now. And this coffee table is so cute. And I feel like I will be able to lay out more books on here. It's more room other than my other round one. So we are here. They have one left in stock. So hopefully they have it yesterday. I literally was just here yesterday. They said they didn't have none in stock. So I went online and they literally said they have one. And I just called. And she was like, oh yeah, we have one. I was like, what? I was just sitting there yesterday. And y'all, I'm so sleepy from my Ghana trip. I've been trying to catch up on sleep. But it hasn't been working out. Like I need a full day of being knocked out. But yeah, we're just waiting. And my cleaning girl is coming tomorrow. I'm doing a home refresh. Yeah, like me cleaning the walls up to down is dead for 2024. I'm investing in a cleaning person. Yeah, no. And I'm going to ask her, do she do laundry? But I'm not. I'm going to just do my own laundry. I don't think she will though. Like touching somebody else's dirty clothes is kind of nasty. She needs gloves. Yeah, we're getting the coffee table hopefully they have it. But I'll check with y'all once we get back on. Y'all need to come to World Market. They low key got really good stuff. Hey y'all, so it's the next day. And I actually get enough good in my coffee table y'all. It's right there. I had to go all the way by the Mall of America. I mean the Mall of Georgia. But Cadets going to help me set it up. But I just took my Christmas tree down. He definitely took that down one too. Thank you. So I just vacuumed a little bit. Oh, and I ended up getting these mushroom little cushions y'all and they also have storage. I'm going to set them out but I'm removing this coffee table and then we're going to set up the other one. And then also we went up to this store called Pop Shelf and I got some new dishes. Y'all, I literally throw away like half my dishes. So I'm like, you know, I need new ones. And these are only like $3 and these are pretty heavy. And then I also got these ice trays to put in like water bottles and stuff. Some plastic ports and spoons and a plastic plate because I'm not going to be doing dishes all the time. So I'm about to go ahead and put this coffee table together. So, let's go. And these little mushrooms are like outside like to close off the living room. But I'm not sure where I want them but they're so cute. Anybody is interested in this, let me know down below and I'll have it for you in my storage. So. Seems like nobody wants to work anymore. Get your fucking ass up and work. Yeah, age. You're fucking biscuit eating bulldog. I feel like a mermaid. I feel like I'm on sand in Aruba. This rug makes me feel like I'm a mermaid. Handyman. I thought it was going to be a quick one too. Oh, you thought it was an ideal little project. How many ornaments? I need instructions. Here's some what to do. Oh my god. Bitch, I can't hear too. It needs to be in the middle. Wait, let me see. Oh, the mushroom's going to be over there anyways. You want to get a collection? No. Bitch, I didn't mean all the way to the corner. I just got done cleaning my house a little bit. Even though my cleaning girl came, I didn't want her touching my beauty room because obviously, as y'all can see, it was a catastrophe. I feel like y'all are too close. I think I'm going to start using my new vlog camera because this is my Sony VZ1. I wanted to take it with me to Africa because on the other camera, like a certain settings, it will go in slow-mo, in audio. There's no audio, no nothing. So I was like, yeah, I'm not risking it. I got to figure out how wet mode gets in there because I really did like how wide the camera was. I'm going to keep it for emergencies, but I kind of want to go back to using the one I just bought. But anyways, so I'm on my way to go get my nails done first set of the year. I can't believe it's 2024. Oh my God, it's crazy. And yeah, I've just been trying to reset and just regroup and really get my body together just to be my best self this year. It's been just a struggle to catch up with sleep and just I've just been trying to be like, productive or that I'm like, uh, I'm lazy. I need a little break. And breaks are important. So I'm like trying to, you know, ease my way back into like blogging like every day and stuff. But it's just like, I don't, I'm not doing nothing. I'm just laying down watching movies. I'm really not doing anything, but the little things that I have been doing, I have like blogged. And I can't wait till the rest of myself from my living room comes. I just really wanted that to be like a creative characteristic space. I just want, like, of course I love the neutral and stuff, but I do also love a pop of color and just gives it like, you know, character and it's a little bit more lively. I ordered this one of painting. Y'all, I have no paintings in my living room. So I'm super excited for this artwork because even having my eye on it for the longest time. So I did my research and I find out who actually took the photo. Like, he actually takes pictures of Barbie and he sells the frames. So I ordered it. Anyways, I'm all at a 10, but the first thing I'm about to do is go give me a matcha, y'all. Wave 3, Alia posted it on her Instagram and I think Tasha went to and they were like, oh my God, the best matcha ever. And I'm, y'all know, I'm a matcha girlie. So I'm like, let me go try this right when I touch down back in Atlanta. I tried it and I've been hooked ever since y'all. It's so good. And the portion sizes are chef's kiss, not too much. You don't need that much. So I did ask for a large. She was like, no, those are the only sizes. Y'all, it's so good. I get the iced matcha latte with oat milk with vanilla. And then I add two organic sugars. It's so good. I'm going to stop there first and then be on my wedding. I haven't talked to y'all for like two days. I'm really trying to get back into the group of things y'all. I've been really lazy. Not going to hold you the Africa vlog baby. I'm trying to edit it in my fingers. Just won't tap, tap, tap on my laptop. Oh, and I just got my computer fixed, but y'all have seen that in the last clips. But anyway, today is a new day. Went away this morning. Y'all have to get into it. This matcha is the best matcha I've ever tried. And I know some of y'all don't like matcha. You'll think it tastes like grass like him. But it doesn't. It tastes so good. If you're even, I got my nail tech. He was like, oh my God, it tastes so good. It's busting. But he's like, you know, he likes matcha. And I like matcha too. It's so good. Y'all got to get into it. Anyway. Matcha is just an acquired taste. It's good. I get the iced matcha latte with oat milk. And I add some simple syrup to it. But so good. So good. We have some errands to run for Cadet today. And then I have to go back home and work some more. It's only 11.30. I woke up so early today. I woke up at like 7. I forgot to tell you. And yeah. So I'm going to talk to y'all later. But I'm very cozy today. It's chilly outside. But yeah. We're going to get into it. Hey y'all. So it's a little later. And I'm about to get ready for this movie premiere. Y'all, I don't know. I've been loving my break. Like, it really makes me feel like I got a crown on top of my head or something. Like, she really ate that. I just love them. Y'all know the drill. Ugh. My mama just texted me. Take it slow. Whoa. Whoa. I got to get a new makeup mirror. My other one actually broke. I'm about to put my lashes on first. Y'all, you know, I love these lemonade lashes. And I put on my faded eye patches earlier. Y'all, they really do make a difference. Like, y'all, you know, I've been using them for the longest time. Even before the brand trip. And actually that trip, y'all, it made me feel like I was a part of history. Not going to lie. It's giving like what brand do y'all know taking influencers to Africa? It's just so crazy to me. I can't even believe I was there. When you're in it, living in it, you just don't realize what is happening in front of your eyes until like after and then you really reflect on it. And I really was reflecting on the whole trip. And I'm like, wow. I always was like, I wonder how it feels to be on a brand trip. Not that I always knew I was going to go. I just didn't know when. And I just really felt like God placed me in the right brand trip. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't just like no random trip. This trip is for you Kyra. This trip is for you. Your reward. And I know you're going to enjoy it. It's just going to be the vibe that you want. You know what I'm saying? So that's what I have to realize sometimes that I cannot trust. I cannot go past what God wants from me. You know, I can only go at my pace. Oh, these are old, but these are cute. These are too dramatic. Oh, this is a lot. Oh, I haven't worn lashes like this in so long. But you never rush God's plan. These are, I haven't worn lashes like this in a long time. I need to hurry up. So I'll check in back with you all once I get dressed. I'm just, I'm not wearing no dress or nothing. I don't even think this is a movie for me or like that. Because it's like at a pub. Well, not a pub, but it's at Hobnob Tavern in Atlantic Station. And I'm like, what? Ain't that like, you know, like a pub? And then the screening is at Regal in Atlantic Station. So I'm like, yeah, I'm not. It's not giving like that. It'll probably give like, you know, maybe I don't even know what to expect. I'm not, I'm not even lying to you. I really don't know what to expect. So I'm just going to look cute, decent, ready for a movie, but not over the top. Yeah, I can't wait and I'm excited. So I just got dressed. I have on this source unknown sweater. I'm trying to figure out how I want to wear it. I think, yeah, I think we'll do it like this. This is cute. And then for my saying, I just have on Tom Ford makes with a commodity. It's called commodity. Anyways, I'm about to head on out. I'm going to show you all the full look when I get out to the living room. But I made great timing. Okay. I'm proud of myself. So we're about to be on our way to the event. So I'm going to check which I want to be there. So y'all, this is the outfit. So the top is source unknown. Super cute. And then these jeans are citizens of humanity. And then my shoes are from Revolve. They're Kenneals period. And then, um, yes, jewelry is fury. And then my bag is with the tone. So we're going to do this tonight. Um, but yeah. So let's go. So we just got to the movie theater. And I thought it was going to get a little red carpet, but I didn't want to overthink it too much because I'm like, but yeah, basically like Netflix is hosting this. And also what was the other place called? The gathering spot. The gathering spot. I guess it's like a networking event. Um, but yeah, so they let Netflix see first and then, um, they're having the gathering spot coming here too. So it's like two events in one screening. Um, but yeah, we're going to get snacks in a second, but in a drink. But yeah, we're here. I should have wore a boots, but it's all right. We need to. Good. See a really incredible movie that comes out on January 12th. So if you hashtag this movie, just hashtag. Lift at Netflix. Hashtag. Oh, you can act Kevin Hart, you know, Kevin Hart for real. You can hit him. But Netflix has done an incredible job with a really incredible movie that I think they're all going to love. Can we get some love for Netflix? Give me a nice round of applause. Put your hand up if you got Netflix. Put your hand up if you're stealing somebody's password and you got Netflix. Put your hand up for that. This is an international cast, an international movie. And before we start the screening of the film, I want to introduce you to the man that directed this movie. I've known this man for a very long time, probably like 30 years. Let me name some of the movies that this man has directed. Friday. Y'all all saw Friday, right? Okay, he directed Friday. Y'all saw Men in Black? Y'all saw International Be Cool? He did that too. Did y'all see The Fate of the Furious? He did that movie too. Did y'all see Set It Off? Did y'all see Straight Outta Compton? Well, that man directed that too. And just for a little side note for Straight Outta Compton, N.W.A. is going to get a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys this year. My friend for over 30 years, give me a applause for Mr. Hathbury Gray, y'all. Thank you. I just wanted to start and just really thank you for a couple of reasons. You may not know it, but you've been a part of my career since before I started making movies. And what I mean by that is I did music video in 1994 with Outkast called Southern Playlist account. I broke a new name. And that was in the beginning of their career and it was at the beginning of my career. And after that, at the end of Friday, with Ice Cube and Chris Hathbury's show. I want to thank you for being a part of my career from the beginning. The second thing I'm going to add is when I made my largest movie, which was Fate of the Furious, Fast and Furious 8. It was one of the biggest budgets I've ever made and I shot it here in Atlanta. And I shot it in Iceland and in a few different countries, but we're based here in Atlanta. So you've been taking care of me since the beginning of my career and at some of the highest points in my career. So I want to thank you for that. I'm very proud of this movie and you'll be one of the first and only audiences to see this movie in the theater. So it's very special to me and I appreciate your support. Thank you for supporting me for my entire career all the way to this evening. So thank you and enjoy the movie. Sweathouse. I was going to go to a yoga class to sweat, but y'all, I wasn't gonna make it. I'm literally trying to make my way slowly into my workout, routines, whatever, moving my body. I would take a walk this morning, but it's so cold. My face is swollen. Anyway, I haven't been to Sweathouse in so long. It's an infrared sauna. The sauna has so many benefits from you. It's really relaxing even though you're sweating. So I'm gonna do that. And then today I have to film a campaign shoot. So that's gonna be fun. That's gonna be at 11 o'clock because I'm trying to just get up and do something, you know, and get into the routine of it instead of just laying in bed and resting up like I've been doing. So I'm like, you know, let me get up and, you know, get to the routine because your girl's been lazy. I'm not gonna lie. But yeah, I'm super excited. So I'll check in with y'all one time. Get there. I got my big bag of puffed up coat on. Oh, and last night was really cute. We went to this new spot called Howl. I think that's what it's called. But they stopped serving food at 10.30. So we wasn't able to get any food. And I went to bed starving. But with no food in my system and my head started hurting, I was just like, I need to go to sleep. And it's so crazy, y'all. Everything in Atlanta, like, what if it's the late night food? Like, I was like, me and my friend were like, what? Like, what's going on here? And then, like, the streets was like dry. Like, everything is just so different now, I swear. It's all right. It's cool with me because, baby, I be in the house anyway. I was like, wow, even Fellini's was close. I was like, what? Like, anything in the late night spot? I'm just confused. Velvet Taco. And it wasn't even 1 a.m. yet. Girl, that's neither here or there. I don't know why my mood is just like, I'm trying to get it together, y'all. I really am. I really am. And then today, I have to do this kind of vlog, y'all. I have to, y'all. I got my throat about it. So I'm like, okay, I need to get into it. I gotta get back into the rotation. They need me. They need me.
