 Hello everybody. Good morning. Welcome back to another vlog. I am back at it again with the pool. I can't get enough It's just becoming that time. It's getting very warm here. It's pretty hot today So I'm gonna head into the pool do some reading relax a little bit I'm wearing a very interesting ensemble also Drew's in the background right here if you see him I'm wearing my thrifted PBR hat, which is amazing and I'm wearing this swimsuit from the brand's called We Are We Wear, but yeah, we're gonna go get some sun and do some reading So clean I took a nap like this day has been him and say that I truly rested today Which is pretty rare if you know me, you know, I literally don't know how to rest. So that was quite refreshing I was outside for like probably Honestly probably like close to three hours. It was glorious We're gonna make some salads for dinner and I'm about to close up these blinds And I forgot to show that we got we had to get blackout curtains in here because when we flipped The living room around when we watch TV now You probably can't see it But the lines are like all over the TV and it got so bad one day that we literally couldn't see the TV Like it was awful. We're like, no, why don't we think of this and we're like Well, we could just flip it back around the other way, but we really like the layout of this living room now It's just so much more open and it feels way bigger. So Anyways, we ended up getting like really cheap Amazon blackout curtains and they were kind of iconic So I'm gonna link them down below because you're interested. Hold on. I need to show you I don't know if you can see it. No, it's okay I don't know if you can see it that well But like right here right here and right here are where the blinds are showing when you're watching TV And you can see like the bushes and stuff and it becomes really distracting But watch it when I close the blinds When you turn the TV on boom Absolutely beautiful tonight for dinner. We're gonna make some like dinner salads basically I haven't had a single vegetable today. So I'm gonna fix that. Hi. Hello So we're air frying some chicken tenders I actually saw Maddie Wilson talk about these on like her Instagram story I haven't been using this for my cold brew Silly you but I always see her raving about these chicken tenders without them at Safeway FYI and they're gluten-free But like we don't care about that She's a gluten-free show me at mom But they're just these like gluten-free chicken tenders and they're frozen and then you just put them in there Fry and they're delicious and they're really really crispy like the breading kind of is like rice crispy treats Delicious Drew and I were just talking about the fact that you know, maybe we could just do like a little happy hour Also ignore Leila's wet food. We have to soak her food now Well, we did after she had surgery because her food needed to be soft And we didn't want to like buy soft foods of that told us to just soak her food in water And she loves it like she's so obsessed with it. So I think we're just gonna keep doing it Anyways, we're gonna have some drinks. So we went to H Mart recently and we got some good stuff So Drew's gonna have an Orion. We actually had this when we were in Japan and it was yeah It was like a mall train station, but there was a rooftop garden And we drank Orion's there and they were delicious. It's probably somewhere on my vlog channel and then I'm gonna have Just a little bit of vino. Oh, I get to get my Quarantine wine glasses. This feels very fun and nostalgic. I mean not like that time in life, obviously, but who remembers who Definitely Right now Definitely gotta have the cucumber. It's just like the freshness and the crunch I'm big on texture and salads like I have to have a really actually my salads are supremely crunchy like probably obnoxious Do you want some? We're gonna do some oba. Let's see if it's good She's a view. I'll save this for my Oh, we got so we ordered groceries last night And some I think we got some of someone else's order because we got like random stuff that we didn't even ask for One of which being these hard-boiled eggs We didn't order eggs at all. So Sorry to whoever ordered these peeled and cooked hard-boiled eggs Latte milk we were like We're also asked for almond milk So I think someone else got my almond milk, and then we got somebody else's eggs But I've actually been curious about this because I see on tiktok all the time There's like a viral avocado toast recipe where you grate like with a cheese grater you grate hard-boiled eggs on top of avocado toast and supposedly it's really good I'm apprehensive drew is very freaked out I'm free package. I love egg, but I don't know I'm sure it's gonna taste completely We're gonna do also some parmesan frist because I'm obsessed with these so these are a like I think freeze-dried Please let me know in the comments if you are parmesan furling Drew is not he thinks it's gross. I Could literally and I do literally eat parmesan cheese by itself. You I think it's delish It'll slam me In your hair. Oh, I got it. You're welcome. You hit my shoulder. I'm sorry. I would kiss For more friends, we got the crispy onions onions actually tastes like death to me right now But when they're mixed into the salad, it's actually okay. This is already No, we're gonna do some hemp seeds These are actually really good for a source of protein I've heard But you can't taste them on their own salad. So It's kind of great. It says there's 10 grams of protein 12 grams of omegas three and six and 20% of your daily iron And then I'm gonna use the rest of these well, oh Kind of just crumbs, but these croutons these croissant croutons that I showed in my Trader Joe's hall These are delish my god. Someone pointed out that that you remember the commercial I don't know why yes the commercial with the guy that was trying to use the same buttery flaky crust Yes, and the wife was like That was truly amazing Probably oh You want egg white I'll give you a white Delicious oh Was that a little guy? What is that was it good? Oh healthy queen and then all that's left to do is put on our Chicken tendies and then I think I'm just gonna do my usual Annie's Goddess dressing delish. This is a Monster salad, but I am excited. I'm hungry. So hopefully I'll be able to finish it And then I'm gonna top it off with my dressing. Do you already put my chicken tendies on there? Are you out? I'm almost out too. Oh No, all right. Let's see. Let's eat again. Thank you This is the nightly negotiations Oh, I missed it through offers up every single toy to Layla and then she decides which one she wants It's usually the biggest Bluffiest one and she's pleased with her decision. That was actually a toy We got for Drew's niece and Layla definitely stole it Yeah, we have become obsessed with this show for when we watch dinner We're those type of people we dinner We're those types of people who watch shows when we eat dinner So whatever Sue us, but it's called escape to the countryside. I think we have to get a Brit box I think you have to have a Brit box subscription on Amazon Prime to watch it, but if you you know just so happen to have it It's so good. We've become obsessed with it. I think I mentioned it in the last vlog It's literally become our new favorite show and also how good does this look? I'm so excited Our dinner was delicious. I did in fact eat that whole salad But we're just getting ready to start another show like our kind of we have our dinner shows And then we have like our show shows, you know what I mean dinner shows have consisted of things like grand designs Shits, yeah the office Yeah, then we get to like the main course which is like our our main TV shows of the night And we're currently watching a lot of shows. We've started the flight attendant season 2 We've started Outlander season 6 which is so gratuitous and dumb But like we can't stop watching it and then a couple of days ago, or maybe it was even yesterday a Girl that I follow we follow each other on Instagram. She messaged me and was like, hey, have you seen the new Show called the staircase and I thought she was talking about the Netflix series And I was like, yeah, I watched it like three or four years ago or whenever it came out And she said something about the acting being really good And I was like I googled it and I saw that there's a show on HBO in case you didn't know There's a show on HBO Max called the staircase. It's about that same case But it's more of like a Actual TV show about it. So there's like actors and Colin Firth plays the husband in a case You've never heard of the case before it's essentially a wife. I mean she dies. She passes away. It's a true story And she has either Fallen down her stairs or was pushed down her stairs or was killed and then pushed on the stairs or whatever and the entire Netflix docuseries is about like the case her the trial and just sort of figuring out like how did she die when if she was murdered or if It was an accident and all like the details and the logistics and all that kind of stuff And it was fascinating and then yeah now this is a show about that. So that's really exciting and then also We're watching a show that premiered like probably what last summer or like a little later And what's it called all the way down or on the way down or the way down so it's a show about a Mega church one of those mega churches and they were really focused around weight loss, which is like a very bizarre way You lost the closer to like God you were like super bizarre And so we saw previews for it and I was like, oh that looks interesting and it's into my freaking home town I didn't even know this church existed and then comes on the screen a girl. I went to church with I literally grew up with I was just like what like literally there's interviews in my church that I grew up in like they're interviewing people in Random parts of my freaking hometown like I could not believe it. That is my literal hometown So anyways, that was crazy now. They've released new episodes. So we have that to watch We just have a lot we have a lot of shows to watch so we're very excited. So we're gonna do We're so busy, why did I just spend three minutes and 57 seconds talking about our show? I don't know but anyways, we'd like to talk about our shows on this channel, you know So highly recommend all of those You go for a walk They give you your medicine It's the next day I'm back from my hot girl walk. It was fantastic I literally loved it. My arms are so sore from a workout I did yesterday like leaning like this kind of hurts, but it was actually so beautiful out this morning We're getting these like random couple of days where it's still cool in the mornings and I know I keep saying like that's gonna run out but like Next week that's gonna be over. We're into like a hundred and seven degrees during the day. So anyways I'm enjoying it while I can but I'm gonna make my favorite smoothie. I make this every single vlog pretty much I'm a broken record here. I sometimes change ingredients depending on my mood sometimes I add things sometimes I take away things but the base of this smoothie is Hold please First you're going to add a frozen banana. It has to be frozen. It just makes it like creamy and more of a smoothie texture So I'm gonna do a whole banana This is a tutorial I guess then you're gonna add your greens of choice I have this bag of frozen kale that I've been trying to work through but I typically do fresh greens But like we bought this kale for salads and then it was like taking too long to get through it So I ended up freezing it. So that's kind of where we're at with that And it's very messy clean that later Then I add two scoops of this Oli chocolate protein powder Which somebody told me isn't a thing anymore that they don't make it anymore and I'm like excuse me It's my favorite protein powder. So I'll be very sad if that's true So I do two scoops of this and then I add either Milk or water usually I use almond milk, but when we ordered our groceries, they gave us two percent Dairy-free milk, which I was like, hmm. So I'm just gonna use this almond cashew macadamia Beverage this is supposed to be like a coffee creamer, but it's really like watery So it's just like an almond milk kind of so I'm just gonna use that Sometimes I'll add like a spoonful of nut butter like almond butter or something actually that sounds kind of good But sometimes I end up just getting the spoonful of almond butter and then I literally just eat it while this is So if you're just gonna do that if you've never had the Justin's brand maple almond butter This is so good. It's so good. So I'm just gonna eat that Why not? Sometimes I add frozen blueberries to this it just depends on my mood But today I want like a really nice green smoothie. So that's why I left them out Now I need to take this upstairs and like shower and get ready and well I have some work to do too But I have a FaceTime call in like 45 minutes or so with my friend Jasmine who I haven't gotten to catch up with him forever If you're new here, she's one of my friends that lives in the UK She's also a youtuber her channel is called jazzy bum and she's just so much fun She's like such a fun friend in person and we've been YouTube friends honestly since like I would say at least 2015 maybe 2014 So we used to do videos back in the day where we would send each other like Outsend her American candy. She would send me British sweets We would do these like virtual collabs where we would both try out like weird beauty products from Amazon and stuff And and then when I went to the UK when Alexa and I went to the UK in 2018 19 it was 19 we stayed with her for the whole week and like just had so much fun So we're gonna catch up today. Okay scratch that idea I actually I'm gonna get in the pool again later because I'm addicted like I can't stop being in my pool My pool lol my freaking kiddie pool, but I just finished making the thumbnail for the last vlog you saw hello There it is make it on Procreate for those of you that are wondering so anyway I'm actually currently uploading the last vlog and I have only about 15 minutes to get ready, which I'm not really gonna get ready because I'm just gonna go lay in the pool afterwards But we'll see what we can pull together in 15 minutes. All right. It's currently 9 23 Up until 9 30. I'm just doing this little like beach waver thing. This is by I think bedhead I have had this well actually I had one it broke so I got a new one But for the better part of like at least six or seven years, I've had this thing. It's just the wave artists Oh my god. It's probably $20 $30 and it's essentially just like a giant crimping iron and a lot of times when I do my hair like in the beach waves People are like, how do you get your hair like that? I just do this That's literally it. It's super super fast and easy So that's what I do on days when I'm like really rushing because I quite literally have seven minutes So I'm gonna try to finish this in two and then I have five minutes to just like do a very very quick Makeup like no makeup makeup. I actually have some travel coming up I think I mentioned it in the last vlog, but I am going well the day you see this It'll be basically the next vlog doesn't really matter what day it is, but I'm going to back to Orange County with Alexa I'm so excited. I think by the time you see this will actually be there So we're going to be filming some really fun videos and just doing our kind of like beach trip together It'll be so fun and also like a work thing as well So that's exciting and then I come home a couple of my friends will actually be in town the following week I go to Disneyland for our friend's birthday. So that'll be really fun we're going for like two three days something like that and Then I will be resting however talking to Jasmine today I know for a fact that we are going to try to like plan a visit together or at least talk about it I just feel like I really want to go back to the UK soon And as much as I would love Drew to come with me as much as he would love to come because he just started a new Job recently it's not really possible And it's starting it's gonna start getting really busy so he can't take like a week or two off But I feel so freaking lucky that I get the opportunity to like work while I'm there So that's possible. But listen, this is like far off in the future. All right, how much time we got four minutes great Okay, here we go do a little concealer under the eyes I don't really get bags, but I definitely get dark circles. So we'll do that We'll do some powder. My powder is broken So I'm just gonna try my best here. Okay, that's done. We're gonna do some bronzer 927 perfect. I didn't have to be on the knot obviously, but I'm just trying to be punctual. I'm not even gonna put blush I'm just gonna put my brush that already has blush on it. There we go for brows I am going to do this Anastasia brow powder duo. It's my fave. So I just use this like spoolie brush It's this is like a morphe brush. Oh my god, my beauty youtuber? Wow And then I just do like the tiniest bit just to kind of like darken them up a bit I've actually been thinking about doing microblading now that I've done the lamination Intent thing for a few times like I think I want something a little more permanent But I'm also scared that like the sort of feathery brows are gonna go out of style And then I'm gonna look weird and then we're gonna do some glossy a boy brow. It's just like a brow gel This is the blonde color. I also have the I think it's like taupe color. There we go I'm just going to brush. I just have this little like spoolie that my lash lady gave me I'm just gonna brush out my lashes and hope that like eight of them don't fall out. We're ready to go Chapstick and that's it. I did it. It's all pretty superior right now. I'm not gonna lie So this is much more FaceTime presentable not that it matters, but Just got off a good old heartwarming two-hour FaceTime with Jasmine. That was so lovely We've been chatting about some potential ideas for a trip. So keep an eye out for that I feel like it's so necessary. I've been like foaming at the mouth to get back to the UK So that would be very exciting But yeah, I'm gonna take the rest of the day Maybe do like a quick lunch break pool dip, but I have to work the rest of the day So hope you enjoyed this vlog Thank you so much for being here and for watching and I will see you very soon Bye
