 It is snowing. Okay. Wow. Guys, how did I miss this morning? Oh, wow. Let's go see the garden. Oh, God. Oh, Fitz. Come over here, bud. Come here, Fitz. Good morning. Welcome back to another vlog. I wouldn't normally vlog this early, since I have been vlogging my mornings on TikTok this entire month. I can't do the text in. Been doing a 5 a.m. morning routine. I'm back home, and I just want to say my skin was really breaking out in LA. And, like, it breaks out when I travel. Sometimes I think I understand the pollution in LA. But I think that my body just rejects Los Angeles. Because the second I got back, it's clearing up. And, like, I'm just not someone who has... I just, like, don't break out like that. And I'm just saying. I got home Friday, made it for the rodeo. If you guys saw that vlog. And then yesterday, Macy and I went to the Cowboys game. They lost, unfortunately, to the Packers. Cowboys emailed us. If you guys don't know Macy's TikTok DCC bit, basically, she has a bit where she's, like, a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, right? And it goes on. It's, like, really funny. And we've been wondering, like, are they going to sue her? Are they going to, like, invite her to a game or something? So, the Cowboys and SeatGeek invited us both to a Cowboys game. And then they were like, wait, can you film a TikTok for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader? TikTok. And it was not only a dream come true for Macy, but also for myself. I've been waiting to see this. So, it was really fun. We had, like, the best Sunday. And it's just been amazing. We said we were quitting Drive January because, like, we don't really drink enough or to, like, make a difference, especially in the past couple of months. And we quit it, but we still haven't drank. So, I don't know what that says. Update on the 5 a.m. morning routine. I don't think it's fully sustainable for me. Like, I think it would be sustainable for me if I was already, like, wiped up, honestly, like, because, you know, like, the early stages of dating when you have to be, like, more spontaneous and, like, you're having fun and whatever. I just don't think it's sustainable for that. But I will say I have a lot more control over my day. I'm getting a lot more done. I'm feeling better. I feel like I'm able to, like, do all the things for myself that I want to do. And then I'm in a better place for the work day. Therefore, I do better work. Anyways, I woke up this morning at 5 a.m. and it's dark until, like, 7 here, right? So, I'm thinking, like, oh, you know, if there's a little bit of ice on the road, that'll be so nice because then my workout will be canceled. And then, um, two hours after I'd wake it up because, you know, it's dark outside and I haven't looked outside yet. I get out of the sauna and I see, oh, there is ice everywhere. There is ice all over my car. I have no idea. I mean, it's obviously just going to melt, but it's currently 13 degrees and I might be snowed in for a couple days. Let's see about this. Texas, if you guys don't know how to go to Texas and, like, ice happens every year and we don't have any infrastructure for it. So it's actually a nightmare. Like, my family is originally from the Midwest. So, like, my parents are always, like, you guys can drive and snow and whatever. But it's because the Texas roads are not built for that. Oh, wow. It's not going to go above 32 until Wednesday. I hope I have enough food. I did make a soup on Sunday. I just wanted to, like, make another soup and I have Needle Point Club tomorrow, guys. Like, Needle Point Club's going to get canceled. I'm hosting it at my house. Dang it. I wish I would've just gotten a few more things because I want to actually, like, cook. Wait, I'm supposed to have a big event. Two big events this week. I think we'll be fine. Okay, well, anyways, I'm going to go run. Um, I can't take myself seriously in this look. But, uh, here we are. Subscribe if you're new here. Okay, bye. All right, y'all, I'm ready for the day. I'm in the middle of opening some mail. I'm making some breakfast. But I just got this tray in the mail. My thought process was I really want to have a nice tray in my, um, closet room where I do my makeup so I can put all my makeup on here and if I want to take it around the house and do it in different places, I can. It is a little small, so I'm not sure if this is going to work. But regardless, like, one thing you could never have too many of is a tray. I'm always using them for random things and it would be cute for hosting, like, maybe putting glasses on here or whatever. Um, it was on Amazon. I'll add it to my store front. But it's actually, like, pretty great quality and it came overnight. But I just made myself some coffee and I'm making a big mess. This is great. I've already cleaned this up once. Update on this little liftner toe. I mean, I know you guys see it in the vlogs all the time, but this is the best tote bag ever. It looks so much more expensive than it is. Um, I mean, it still is definitely an embarrassment. Don't get me wrong. But there's bags that are way more expensive than this. I am eating up the JC pregnancy content. Like, anytime I think about it, I want to cry. I'm just so happy. Anyways, I went on the phone. Typically, I take Mondays as, like, any meetings I need to get done or random computer works of this morning. I was working on some new launches in front of mine. I had a bunch of calls. And I'm working with a consultant, a new consultant, for front of mine on certain significant production consultant on certain projects. Not everything, but just, like, basically product development that includes fabric and textiles. And I love this consultant because she's teaching me so much. Like, her goal is basically to get me to be able to do it without her or, like, build a team and they can do it without me, obviously. But it's so nice because I've used a consultant in the past and none of it was really, like, they were great, really, but it wasn't, like, super transparent. And you weren't, like, I don't know. I just feel like it was, they were doing their job and obviously, like, they don't really want you to know because then you can, like, do it without them. This consultant, it almost feels like I'm in school and I'm learning so much. I didn't know which you probably, I don't know why you would know this, unless you've heard me say this somewhere, but my mom and my grandma owned two companies when I was a kid, like, growing up and they were actually anemones. It was a bedding and a drapery company and they were called anemones, like, really quickly. So I do know a lot of, like, the random verbiage because I grew up around it and, like, hearing it. They closed that company or, like, companies. Got them tired, guys. Probably was where my parents had to work and I wasn't, like, fifth or sixth grade. But anyways, I grew up there and I would go and I would, like, work in the shop is what we called it and I would work. I would go. I would make cute little purses. I would, like, clean up. I would, like, separate all the yards and, like, do all that stuff. Just kind of take me back to my childhood. So I did a bunch of stuff for that and then this week we have two events with a friend of mine, community dinner party and then an influencer dinner party. You guys will probably recognize a lot of the girlies and the influencer dinner party, not dinner party. It's like we're going to the ranch. I'm really tired right now, guys. This is, like, a little snow day. Pretty much all my stuff got canceled. I really just want to bundle up and watch Country Strong. But got things to. So we're going to get to that soon. I'm drinking my third coffee of the day. Let's see if I'm awake since 5 a.m. So that's fine. I also have some new wallpapers coming in to really want to wallpaper my bathroom, master bedroom, the hosting closet, potentially the off or the closet room. We'll save this soup, by the way. So I'll show you guys the recipe. Chicken and rice soup. You add lemon. You add a lot of dill. Add a ton of spinach. It's amazing. Y'all want the recipe. It is right here. Screenshot. Also, the recipe journals are in pre-order. By the time this soil comes out, I don't know. They're going to be restocking very, very, very soon. So if you guys want one, they're probably available if not there in pre-order and you will get yours, like, very shortly. They're on their way to us right now, but I can't, like, promise a date as I'm talking in real time. I've also just added, like, I don't even know how to describe it. This little corner brings me so much joy. I've added some cute little, like, books and cookbooks that I'm constantly grabbing for. My garden planner. Okay? I need to get on that. I need to understand what happened to me this morning. It's actually not a big deal. I don't know why I'm setting it up that way. Welcome at five. I'm going to have pilates at six. I was so excited. I haven't been out pilates in forever. And I keep having to cancel for various reasons, right? So I forget that there's ice outside. Okay? Important to know. Also, my car right now has a nail in it and I need to get it patched and I haven't done that. So I'm, like, really weird about driving it. But anyways, made myself a coffee. I walked outside, like, actually excited to go and work out that early, which, you know, is rare. Like, you go do what we don't want to. And I slept and fall into my coffee all over myself. Didn't go to pilates because there was ice everywhere and there was just no way I was going to get out that quickly. So I did a little pilates class here. It's seven now. I've just been, like, working on my laptop and I need to shower. I am dry brushing these days. And by that I mean it's day two of dry brushing. Here's the thing. Like, I love the idea, but when you are self tanning in the summer, like, does it just take off your tanner? Like, it's actually so hard being a girl. There's so many things to do and they all hurt each other, honestly. So anyways, I'm going to go do that, make some breakfast, and then today I have calls and meetings literally all day. I have a call with a friend today and another entrepreneur friend and she's going to take me through her notion and how she does everything and completely organizes her life. And then she's, like, literally set aside like four hours and just spend your whole day doing that. I have three hours after the call and I'm going to just go through and get my notion going. Hopefully, I'm able to use it. I have never gotten so many DMs than when I posted a notion on my laptop story at Drybar. That was not for me. That was for my editor. But so many questions about it. I don't know how to use it yet. Okay? I like using it when other people make it. But I'm going to make it myself and have everything streamlined there so I will keep you all posted and maybe I can help be helpful. Okay? Like, we'll see about that. I don't know. I'm very technologically challenged at something I've really learned about myself and come into at the right age of 26, you know? So anyways, I'm going to shower and get cozy for a day at home and then tonight I'm hosting Needlepoint Club so I need to make some chicken and dumplings and just get some things going. Oh, I also just placed my order for Epidemic Gardening. That's exciting. Okay, I know I look weird with this right now but like, honestly, I don't care right now. Okay? Like, I mean, I clearly do because I'm messing with it. There's only so much I can do. Okay? I have a headache. It's fine. Whatever. I just got off the call with my friend Ali and it was a life-changing call. I learned so much about business and it's been like 45 minutes so I had no idea. Like, for example, I'm starting a blog and I'm repurposing all my old content and then I'm also gonna be posting all my YouTube videos and it'll be like three blog posts for the YouTube video and every single podcast episode because that's SEO. There's just sort of things that are obvious but I don't know why I didn't do it and so many businesses do that. Like, that's why there's blog sections on ClearStam or something because people are Googling it and they find your website. Like, nuh. Things that just seem so obvious and I felt like blogs were dead but blogs are so important and we went through like SEO and other websites and stuff and she explained it all to me and I was like, oh, my God. And then we also went through Notion and I'm gonna go and organize our whole life on there today. So I will have Allie's, like, website and stuff linked. I don't know if she's... I don't even know, like, if she's taken cause or something like that but at the very least, she's a YouTube channel. You can learn all this stuff and like the planning and the Notion stuff on her YouTube channel so go check that out. It was a very incredible experience so I'm going to eat some lunch, drink some olive hop and get to work, okay? There are things to do. We are optimizing our lives, people. We are creating systems so we can have more free time. That's basically the... That's not even like the whole thing. It's not even really about free time. It's more so just like being optimized but also free time. Anyways, this is like more for like business owners. Like it is a lot of work to do that stuff so I don't make any sense but honestly it's cause I have a headache and I cannot really talk right now. I'm gonna get to work, start my Notion and everything and then I will talk to you guys after. I'm having a little mid-day slump and I'm about to get on some calls so I changed into my house guest perch and I made myself a little snack bowl. It's literally just one snack and I just... I couldn't get creative. I didn't have much else, okay? I'm gonna get on these calls. I'm gonna have a coffee in like an hour and like knock out the second half of my day. Oh, I also lay down for 10 minutes. You just lay down, relax, no phone, nothing, 10 minutes. I wake up and I'm like refreshed. It's amazing. But I'm tired so we're gonna... We're figuring this out. I'm also moving the habit around to, you know, my hair looks rough right now so just like cut me some slack. It's really good. This is the first time that I'm actually gonna have an ice cream scooper for the biscuits because I do make the biscuits myself. It's actually pretty simple, very easy and the girls are coming over in like an hour, hour and a half so I'm gonna get to work. The chicken and dumplings so, so good. My God, like honestly this might be the best thing I made. It's not like healthy but like who cares, it's very good. I got a package from how do you say this? Desoy. Maggie Sellers, my new friend is an investor and she saw that I was really not drinking that much lately and she sent these over so I'm really excited to try them. Perfect for needle point night. I think I'm gonna try this one. It looks amazing. This is the one I've seen everywhere. I didn't even realize I had bottles but like how cute. It's funny because like when I am drinking alcohol like I don't drink ever when I'm like home cooking but all of a sudden since we like started doing dry January I like have to have a drink all the time like a cute little drink now obviously like alcohol. Taste test. Here we go. It's very good. It's very refreshing. Wait, I really really like it. It's adaptogen rich. Wow. Wait, so good. I love these. Look at how cute my little makeshift setup is. I'm so annoyed. I just filmed my entire chicken and dumplings recipe on Tik Tok and the video deleted. Just I went to Tik Tok my drafts to finish it and it's gone and it was so cute. So anyways I already showed you all the recipe but it's really good. It seems a lot more difficult than it is and I love it but in the meantime before everyone arrives I have some new wallpaper samples that arrived for the hosting closet yes I know there's nothing more extra than a hosting closet and then also I mean there's nothing worse than me actually wallpapering it but I'm going to. I'm thinking of it. I like this one. Let's go see. Okay, so these are from I believe Spoonflower I've been getting literally everything off Etsy Basis birthday present just came in the mail got them off Etsy all my wallpaper samples got them off Etsy I don't even know if I showed you guys cannot remember if I showed you all the new one from my bedroom I like it a lot better than the first one okay well oh yeah because it was like the 8 by 11 it's so small whoa whoa whoa this is definitely it's like supposed to be this way but okay I wanted to have almost like a little southern cheek moment like my taste has really changed so much like it's not actually super southern I think realistically this is what I'm going to do and then I got so many antique frames those are out on my dining table right now okay let's see like this is almost oh you can't even really see it though it's like a neutral if you think about it okay oh I just spent this one so that's on me I will say the quality of these wallpapers are really nice I actually really love this one I just think like if it's over the whole room I don't know I'm also open to none at all but I'm gonna do a TikTok so y'all can let me know more in real time and then I got these little shelves for the wall over here the thing is like I thought they were going to be wider I don't know if this is like too thin but they could also go like centered here and I'm gonna have different plates and different cookbooks and things I just feel like they might need to be wider I just don't know if there's a good size for my Kia and they're gonna go all the way up and down so let me know what y'all think oh my god I have been looking everywhere for my Vega Garden mugs and here they are wow guys I'm literally talking about Vega Garden mugs I'm wallpapering I'm having needlepoint night like I am ready to be retired and I've been looking for these my stocking measuring cups stockable measuring cups there's nothing like them way better than the other ones okay let me tell you also really love this I'm not lying I'm never lying I'm not exaggerating it's very good I just want to say that there's really nothing that brings me so much joy yes it's the middle of January my Christmas tree's up okay whatever but there's nothing that brings me as much joy as it does of being home when it's cold out the fire's on I'm watching a podcast I'm watching Impulsive and I'm cooking and I'm using a recipe in my recipe journal I've actually almost filled up all of my dinner recipes so I think I'm gonna use more of the lunch like area because honestly a lot of them are the same so many ways updates that no one cares about dinner recipe journals out now or on pre-order by the way this stand is actually just a cookbook stand that Jessica got me for Christmas like two years ago and I use it literally all the time I haven't been able to find it online that's why I don't link it if I ever find it online I will link it for you I'm pretty sure it's from Split Top I can't quite remember but I haven't even seen it in store and I remember she did tell me the actual site and like where it was from and I remember I looked in person and online and it's not available so anyways I'll try to link similar ones but I love it and then it just looks so cute like obviously on my counter but anyways like there's just nothing better than this and it smells amazing and I'm just so at peace I'm obsessed my club was so fun I think we put in a couple clips I made a lot of progress the girlies like really know what they're doing but honestly it's very helpful because I'm learning a lot I got my stuff at Chaparral Needle Point which is by Lovefield I took my grandma to a class there it was really fun and then the girls went somewhere on lovers and they like I love people who work in Chaparral too also there's a lot of good stencils and stuff on Etsy I think I'm really going to get into it this year like this is the year of needle point gardening and cooking and reading like I again 85 so anyways my alarm didn't go off this morning I they said over later so that okay I'll sleep until 5.30 and then I I don't know what happened I woke up this morning at 2 in the morning because my alarm system was going off and people were calling me and then like I don't know I woke up at 7.45 and that alarm I don't know so it's now 8.15 and I'm on my way to my workout and then I'm going to my brain codes appointment today which I will say has helped me a ton literally freezing but if y'all very experiencing brain fog anxiety just anything that has to do with the brain basically depression I would highly recommend brain codes it's like neurofeedback training I literally sit there and I watched Gilmar girls and they put these things on my brain and then I leave like 30 minutes later and they're so nice and it has helped me so it's kind of like reprogramming your brain I'm probably explaining this like completely wrong but it has helped so much with brain fog I really am not experiencing brain fog I'll hit like a midday slump cause I'm tired but I'm not noticing even then that my brain fog gets a lot worse and I will say overall like my anxiety I just it feels so much better the idea of this that you only go for like 6 months and it's like retrading which obviously is totally different you just stay in for longer periods of time this is like supposed to be like permanently like changing your brain and it's really interesting anyways for all my brain health girlies I know that I have some here because we all love Dr. Amen I want to have someone on from there for the podcast so we can like go into it cause it is really interesting and I will say like I've done a lot of things like this kind of stuff like mental health wellness whatever and I will say like this is I don't want to say it's done more for me than therapy only because I've been in therapy like my whole life I don't know it's definitely up there oh my gosh the icicles guys this is not real my car also wouldn't start for a second and I was like oh no but I'd already called an Uber and then it started working so it's fine highly recommend it but I'm going to weight lifting and then I have brain codes and then I have a call I need a shower I get home and then I need to go today I rented out a restaurant like not the whole restaurant but like a table at a restaurant so there's 30 of us going I think actually I think it's 26 at the table it sold out so quickly we also are introducing we've already done it friend of mine social club because homemaking is inherently social so we're going to be doing a lot of different events like we're going to do like a recipe journal club where everyone comes and there's a theme and you bring this one's going to be like drinks apps in treats I think and just like bring your favorite recipe and like make it too so like if you have a recipe journal absolutely bring that you don't have to have a recipe journal you come and you bring your thing and we all try it out and you like have like a fun night it's very much so like a cookbook club but a recipe journal so we're doing that we're going to be doing a lot of different like dinner parties in different cities and things like that so it's going to be really fun I want to do events where it's like bring your grandma and things like that you know what I mean like that's so fun so anyways hope you guys are having a good night I just really needed to sleep because I feel good okay I'm home I have meetings in like 30 minutes I'm proof-watching a vlog right now and I ordered breakfast from first watch because I just like don't really have time to make anything it's still like 20 degrees in Texas right now my driveway is like the only in like part of my patio as far as it's the only place in Dallas that still has ice on it and it's really bad but even when I was out just now my neighbors were like just waiting until I can really get myself again but anyways I bought just some fruit in the little spinach wrap this thing's really good it's on like they're healthy they're a side menu thing I don't care it's really good and then not on their healthier side um the million dollar bacon from first watch if y'all haven't had it it is so good like I honestly need to learn how to make it I don't love making bacon because I just burn myself like I feel like consistently anyways I need to go to FedEx to print out some menus for our gender parties and I'm so excited about the like social club arm a friend of mine we're gonna be doing so many different things and um if y'all have any what the hell if y'all have any requests on things that you want let me know we're always listening but I'm so excited for my Dallas girls there's gonna be a lot of events coming up like a ton and then I do wanna do other cities that's definitely a given but like where should we come next comment below where you guys want because I need to know where the demand is you know gonna get to work and then I'm gonna continue my work in the dry bar chair my favorite place to be you know look at how cute the menus are I just ordered this template on Etsy and then the back of them it's all those like how perfect I'm back I gotta blow out I don't feel like I did a great job explaining like what I wanted it's not I mean honestly it's actually no it's totally fine I think it's gonna be fun like once I brush it out I don't know I just feel like it looks like different I do like it regardless I just don't feel like I did a good job explaining anyways so we have the event tonight we have another event tomorrow one of the companies that we're using tomorrow for this event canceled 24 hours before the event after like full confirmation everything things happen it's just like life of a business owner handling every single picnic company in Dallas for the past hour and I have so many things I need to do and it just it is what it is so we're learning to roll with the punches also random but this perfume it's the By Rosie Jane like anything from them I'm pretty sure I got it in PR I think it's just been sitting here and I was with Keaton last week and she smelled so good I'm like what is it and she said it's this stuff it might be a difference that by them though and I was like oh wait I have that so anyways By Rosie Jane highly recommend I'm really excited for tonight it's just like now I don't have much time to problem solve with tomorrow's event so today is the community event and then tomorrow is the influencer event friend of mine is like heavily focused on more of like community events because I want to like invest more in like the customer or the consumer and kind of like create something around that I also just like love hanging out with you guys you can still fun when we get to do things like that like I love doing stuff like that I'm also starting a blog I don't know if I talked about this so I'm doing that can you guys tell me to like now I'm like oh my god really a lot is going on but it's okay so I think I'm gonna wear this dress today which is like a little bit extra shore in these red heels but like I just want to and then I'm gonna wear my fur coat to really just seal the deal so that is my look for tonight I'm gonna go ahead and do my makeup so I can get that filmed for a TikTok and oh I wanted to show you guys this is the whole reason I've been took my camera out look at how cute so the tray I just threw makeup that I use out like I'm not it's not one of those like magnetic trays or anything I just thought it was cute and I like how this is done for this primer by the way I really like super glowy primer love having all this stuff just like out and I think this color is so cute it's different the most marble I just I really like it I'm actually dying at myself as always because I actually have to go and wear this to at home because I have to run very last minute to get new tablecloths and stuff because the cancellation earlier so I problem solved I figured it out it is unfortunate very unfortunate also speaking of what we're here I meant to say this before if you're a small business in Dallas and you want to do like anything together like if you guys want to be involved in any events whatever definitely reach out because we're wanting to really work with like small businesses so anyways I also need a good like really reliable picnic company recommendation if you guys have a good one they're just kind of hard to find so I mean we have a lot of them but I think a lot of them aren't even like in business right now anyways here's my outfit for my casual dinner okay it's a little extra by a little I mean it's very extra but I'm just kind of obsessed I need to remember to keep my hair behind my ears for this one okay Macy's going to be like Kenzie I'm literally not going to be seen with you I'm going to be like yeah I get that I decided to take off the coat for my little at home trip I

so many friends like basically everything that I wanted to happen for the night happened and I am just like so excited so I'm going to have Pilates which I'm excited for I'm wanting to go I literally don't think I've been in like 2 months maybe a month I don't know maybe a week dramatic but I used to go I used to go like 5 this week and now because they do weight lifting I do like 1 or 2 supposed

thank you so much Cassandra okay so I'm trying to get everything done about 40 minutes until I need to take my calls and then once those are over I need to be fully ready because I have to head I actually think I need to take a call call in the car like why do I tell everyone like every single detail like you guys don't even care that there's I could tell you I just don't need to tell you that like anyways I need to pick up our food from Mendocino Farms which by the way is my favorite lunch place I do or dash from them at least like once or twice a week like I love this sometimes like sometimes I'll get like hooked where I'm do or dashing from them like three days in a row that's really incredible these mugs are my favorite I lost them for a couple days and they were just in the host and calls it what is y'all's favorite iced coffee because it's really hard to find my favorite one it's healthy at farms iced coffee culprits are just like really acidic and I respond to them very weirdly okay I should have looked up one of those like curl girl makeup routines the best news though it's like not even that cold outside right now like I was like walking outside and like totally fine which is crazy because it was 10 degrees we got so lucky I was scared I mean I knew everyone was gonna come because we were friends but I was scared that it was gonna like kill everyone you know also fits oh my god so sweet this morning I went on the couch oh hello hi yes this morning okay mom I love you but I need some space I need to do my makeup okay someone's gotta pay the bills around here boy alright okay he's like so clean I'm at home with him literally 24 seven I guess since I left last week like he is just a way more sensitive dog than coconut's ever been like coconut obviously is the more high maintenance one because she's handicapped and she just like barks and that is annoying but other than that like she's perfect in public and fits is like perfectly behaved at home but like wild outside but he's really sensitive like he if anyone's mad at him like I know this sounds like so psycho what I'm saying but if you guys have a dog you understand he is so sensitive if I have to get on to him for anything I mean he's like crying for days and if I leave oh my god he's like unwell and I'm like I spend more time with these dogs probably than like any owner spends with their dogs because I mean besides everyone who works from home so not any owner okay you guys whatever like sometimes I speak and I'm like that's just like not what I meant and not how I meant to say it you know point being is that like not only do I work from home I'm a home body so I am with these dogs 24 seven and I leave he's just oh my god this morning I sat on the couch like posted up so by the way new episode is up with McGuire McGuire is a good friend of mine she's like a really really crazy career and it's basically just like her journey in the corporate world and also she has like really crazy experience like because she's assistant and stuff and she's like just talking with career stuff and like how to build your dream career but now she's like an entrepreneur and like doing something like she's a mom so we talk about like mom life and what not she's really cool like you guys love her anyways he like literally like laid his head on me and was like not moving I'm like dude I have to leave for a couple hours today and I'll be back and I'm always with you and then he just makes me feel so horrible and the craziest thing is he loves his dog center and if I'm gone for any period of time like I have the dog center come like a lot like for a check in it's just like what do you guys do when your dogs are super emo like he makes me feel so guilty I'm like listen like someone has got to work around your fits and it's not going to be you update on the bondel brushes by the way I love them so bondel actually we talk about this with Maguire because she is a consultant and like does a bunch stuff with them um okay what did I do here it's a makeup brush subscription so you get new brushes like every three months and it's for the people who just like not going to clean their makeup brushes but also like even when you're um I used to think about new lifespan of brushes but I really like the brushes from them like I've been using them because I have them just in um my like big stack of brushes and I didn't even realize until yesterday when I was filming Karate with Tiktok but like I've pretty much made the switch from every brush that I use to the bondel brushes I really like them B-O-N-D-E-L-L really genius idea at this point I always look like a clown you have to just like let me live for a second and trust the process it does look really rough also like sitting like this oh my gosh okay also random but my friend Janelle she is so cool I've talked about her on my YouTube channel like a couple times actually but she has this podcast all the people podcast shows in Dallas and she's just like amazing she's one of those people that every time I hang out with her I just like feel great like I just I love her she is finally opening I'm saying this because I know that I mentioned this prior she's finally opening a studio in Dallas where you can like record podcasts film things at like there's it's like a media company and she also has a really cool studio and it is so beautiful I haven't known to go in person and I'm gonna be in New York during the like launch party sadly but if any of you all are in Dallas and you're looking for a good place to like record podcasts like I will be using it I'm sure I have to like when I have guests this year I'll just say it we're really manifesting Colleen who we're on the show we've been in talks many times and I just like we gotta get her on like we really gotta get her on so if anyone it was like her bestie you guys let her know that like House Guest is a great podcast for her to come on anyways so like manifesting like when Colleen comes we're gonna record there you know but I I think it's the most beautiful studio ever like the new Dewary awesome one also really beautiful but so many podcast studios are just ugly and like the lighting's bad and just not the vibe so if you guys are like starting a podcast in Dallas or something or you just see the studio at a film maybe you take photos out like whatever is stunning I feel like it's gonna be like the new Dallas one it's amazing I recently just have no not no interest in drinking out like I'm losing interest and I don't know if it's just because it's cold outside and I'm not really I just don't want my social life to revolve around alcohol like Macy's really good about doing a bunch of fun stuff and so I'm obviously like I plan this stuff a lot not that stuff but like I do follow through on like ideas and stuff I have you just really have to have the right kind of friends um that are like down to like do the random fun stuff that's chill versus like going out and eat like I love a good lunch I love a good dinner I love drinks and I love my friends I love my friends who even love that stuff like it's bad but like I just I don't know I don't want that to be like the only thing about social life like I don't want it to like go away by any means but I just don't want my social life to just revolve around like going eating and drinking like you know what I mean and honestly like when people say oh that's all there is to do in Dallas like there's so many other things to do like there's literally so many other things to do also a lot of the fun stuff that like I want to do isn't really based off of like location necessarily it's like needle point cookbook club or obviously there's always dinner parties or you know certain movie marathons where you like make the food they're eating and you serve it during that time like there's so many fun things you can do no matter where you live like I feel like when I was younger I used to be like like oh my god I'm too cool like there's nothing to do here because that's what everyone says so you'd be like yeah like no whatever and like I heard someone say was that like being super bored is like a sign of laziness like I think it's like a really drastic approach but I get what they're saying in the sense of like you just aren't putting in the effort to like make new things and whatever so 2024 is a year of the wholesome activities and the wholesome hobbies like I don't just want to be like going to the same restaurants doing the same thing every single weekend and I love that stuff and like watch me be like no this is what I want to do so there's like nothing bad about it even like going out I just love going out and like when I was doing that all the time that's what I wanted to be doing what I want to be doing right now in this part of my life wholesome activities and hobbies okay like literally the attitude you guys saw that right okay I finished my makeup my lip products are in my purse so I'll do that after chugging my drink and then I'm going to get dressed so for the ranch I always just wear obviously jeans, boots I'm gonna wear a sweater I just layer up a little bit I have this favorite cotton sweater I'll show you guys that I got for Christmas two years ago and it's like the perfect chocolate brown like is it cashmere I don't know cashmere sweater it's really great oh my god okay I'm trying to like look back up when I do a heated workout it like kills me for the day like I'm so tired but it's just feels so good this is on scarf for sure I really like scissons colors I've gotten a couple I'm like so scared because it if you do I don't know if I'm describing like a model of duty look where skinny jeans boots over a bell sweater like it can look really cute I might actually try it and just see if you throw the right sweater for it and this is not the right sweater for it and out of all these sweaters like I don't know if I have the right one which I know is so ridiculous but it's such a specific look okay like we're gonna try it without and I will see because it could look really like embarrassing okay look I don't hate it and it feels very like almost like a good question um maybe I'll wear this over it instead of like it's just like a very thick shirt like I like this one I don't know I feel like you guys are gonna hate this skinny jeans um but also I was gonna wear this sweater so I probably will bring this and then I'm also as backup going to bring like a big brown jacket just gonna put this on my car and see hopefully the best I have a car okay these jeans give me like literally no shape and like they're still like forming to my body so oh yeah like I feel like this is cute like I don't mind this vibe I'm gonna like situate the sweater but I feel like probably gonna wear just the sweater today but I'll obviously bring the jackets in the car um like I like the vibe okay I feel like this is cute we're doing this this is like what it's gonna be warm so my outfit ended up kind of being a flop because I couldn't like wear the accessories with it but anyways the event was so much fun if you all ever need to or want to go horseback riding um I do South of Dallas it's amazing tell them I said you um I go like really often I've gone for the past probably like two and a half years I love being there it is like my favorite place ever it's in Segalville so amazing so anyways we had our event there we had Food for Minnesota farms my favorite what I get from there by the way anytime I go in person I get every single drink imaginable like I get them on delivery or catering and it's horrible it's like horrible type breaking but so if you go in person you need to get those but the not so fried chicken sandwich the not so fried chicken salad and then literally anything when they do like the peach salad all that stuff but what I get is a not so fried chicken sandwich and it is unbelievable so good so anyways it was so much fun we also had those hats that are amazing it was like fine whatever and yeah we just did a bunch of stuff it was like literally so much fun it was like my dream event it was in collaboration with opera hours for the espresso martini and the nightcap cards and it was just amazing everyone had so much fun it was like very different for like an influence alright so anyways it was fun I'm gonna go do all the dishes now cause I brought a good thing back and I really want to get about early and needle point and watch when you go see her skincare do your eyes get so irritated I decided I'm gonna treat myself tonight and I'm going to needle point while I watch Gilmore girls so let me show you what I've been working on I've decided I'm like really gonna lean into this whole needle point thing here's the thing here's the progress I've made I understand that the number one thing in needle point is that the stitches need to go the same way as my first time I messed up it'll be cute it's fine anyways I'm just gonna needle point tonight it's gonna be so peaceful okay so ignore my bedding and I just threw everything on my bed right now but this year I really want to make my room super cozy so I'm gonna tell you guys through a little bit of the plans like I have the bones here but I really really want to wallpaper I don't like that one I do like this one but I saw that the wallpaper that I have in my office which is just that bluish wall I'll show you guys really quick like this vibe of a wallpaper they have this in chocolate brown which is what I've been looking for for so long so I would love to do that all in this room and make it really cozy and then what I really want is to get a Samsung TV like I have in the living room here and use it as like art above the dresser and then I can like actually have shows on and stuff here just cause I've actually been getting back you know once so I'm back into it whatever guys like am I well guys like I'm not well I also think I'm having a lot of reaction but my room is really just like makeshift and it's like the thing I have the absolute least attention to and I want it to feel like a space that I just feel so like cozy and I love I'm gonna have another one of these little non-alcoholic wines these are so good they're so refreshing to drink at night but I want an art TV there so those are expensive so it's gonna be a long time but I want the wallpaper and I want the TV and I want like new bedding even I like what I have but I at least need to fix like maybe some pillows or something I don't know I gotta figure something out so maybe add some like frames over there photos like just like make it a little more personal I think would be good um so I really I did order an entire roll of that wallpaper just cause I feel like I will love it and I would like to actually put it up because with those samples like it's so hard to really like get the vibe you know what I mean so I'm like I need an actual like entire roll to see how I feel and like put it right there or something so I can get more of the vision but I'm telling you that home where the YouTube channel like really did something to me like I need everything to feel cozy to be amazing you know so I don't know what I'm having a little reaction to but I hope you guys had a fabulous day I hope you all like this vlog stay tuned for my next ones love you all subscribe if you're new here and I'll talk to you soon I was introduced to this woman Ruth okay and she is from I
