 Happy New Year's Day. Jay and I started an attic project and I know I've talked about this in some of my vlogs And in some of my videos Well, we started an attic project where we were really cleaning out the attic after my son moved out of the Apartment, which I call the hayloft he moved out and one of the things that we had have wanting to do for a longest time is tackle our Attic and tackle some of the crap we have accumulated. So today It's just an ongoing project. I have boxes all over the place. We have stuff that we pull down from the attic It's like amazing. I just found people magazines from when Diana Princess Diana died collectors editions Unbelievable I It's really sad because I don't know what to do with all this stuff, you know, I really don't so some of the stuff obviously has been donated to Goodwill and We've been like shifting stuff from the attic that we want to go through in the spring But our attic is it's a hip roof. So we really can't stand straight up and except in the middle So we've been shifting the stuff that we think has some, you know, some sentimental value or Maybe even other other type of value when we were shifting it to boxes to the hayloft to my son's apartment So that we can go through it at our leisure in the spring when the weather's warm, but this is like a never-ending project and every time Every time we dump stuff out of the project. I say to Jay the house feels lighter Don't I say that to you? Yeah The house feels lighter. So thankfully this place this goodwill place that is it in one of the next towns over They actually take books and magazines. I'm not gonna get rid of my princess Diana stuff but I am gonna get rid of all the other books that I have piles and piles and piles body for life Oh Southern New Hampshire eating out Don't stop going through it because then you're gonna say, oh, I want this You'll be cherry picking and then next thing, you know, we'll have more stuff. So yeah, so What's it I'm doing today and I keep saying that one of my goals is I'm gonna start doing some Regular blogs again. I always enjoyed the blogs, but I Do feel it kind of boring. So today's just that low key day housework laundry attic Never-ending I've been working all day in here, and I have not I mean I've not gotten very far in here at all. Look at this pile of crap. I have to go through I haven't really gotten very far. I bought a back like a big curtain that I wanted to like cover this whole area with because I've had every time I film in here. I used to get a few Suggestions that I declutter behind me and I just I you know, I live in a small house and You know this home office here It it's shared with like don't don't look at the mess because I haven't finished it shared with real estate stuff It's shared with my dolls up there I wouldn't even show you on that side because it's a really small room, but it's just you know, there's no way I Just don't have a filming area. And so I bought this cloth. I'll show it to you. I Thought I thought maybe I could hang this over the bookshelf and hide it but when I When I tried to hang it up. It just didn't work It just didn't work Story of my life but anyways, we're grilling a big thick juicy ribeye and Cauliflower with Parmesan cheese is being roasted and then during dinner We're going to watch Outlander season 1 the very first episode again I'm like so happy Jay found it on demand, you know, because sometimes it's harder to find those things But I'm so happy he found it on demand. So that's what we're gonna watch during dinner and And I'm gonna try to get back in here and really Finish up this project somehow Hey, so did you ever hear that statement when you don't know what to do do nothing at all? And that's what I ended up after all day yesterday trying to work on my bookshelf And I had bought the cover and all that it's it just I don't know I couldn't figure it out So I have like this little Leasy thing on the top shelf. I think I'll take that down But I'm not gonna paint over the wood and it doesn't match the antique cabinet over there And I'm not gonna hide my bobby doll. So I think when I film in here I'm just gonna have to suck it up with the background I have Anyways, I was gonna say happy Monday, but it's happy Wednesday the week is half over almost over I'm heading to my London Dairy office and then there's a storm supposedly coming in tomorrow And I'm supposed to go to Wolfboro, New Hampshire for my office up there Which is a lot. It's like an hour and a half But it's not highway. It's you know, back roads in by ways. So it's like if the weather is bad It's it's gonna be a horrible horrible nightmare. So I'm thinking of trying to postpone that. I Don't know yet. So we'll see Anyways, yeah, this is my attempt at my vlog again And I still have so much to do in here to clean all my relative stuff up You know, I have I have makeup. I have a giveaway pile that you know, I wanted to do for a giveaway and Maybe I'll check in with you guys later, but if not It's 23 degrees in the car 23. God. I had some of these, you know, I mean It's kind of like that's a really interesting one. I'll have some more I think I'm gonna leave those up there though and just concentrate on trying to Empty these This one over here, my degree they're not worth anything Of course now you can see the crack in the wall. Oh But maybe it's that less nobody's ever gonna see that That less distracting Looks weird to me. Literally My gosh I'm nothing. Oh, wow. I'm nothing, but anyways. Yeah, I should just Pack it in so my face is all peeling Anyways, I bought two tubs two big big storage Tub thingies, you know, and I filled them both up, but I still have like I still have like about 20 dolls 20 Barbie dolls in here I think I'm gonna have a big yard sale real big yet sale So I worked on my ongoing little project in here trying to declutter and when I ended up to see the gap There's a gap up there So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to stop at either home goods or marshals on my way home tonight and Probably pick up some I don't know a picture Something to fill that gap, you know, maybe something with a little bit of color So I got rid of a lot of Barbie dolls and put them in bins and getting carried up just, you know To our storage. I decided this cabinet this antique bureau behind me over here This is like a really cool antique cabinet like a writing desk or You know, the thing folds down. It's got little compartments and it's like really cool I decided that's going to stay there Um, I'm not pleased to put it and I'm also decided that some Barbie dolls will stay there But this will be my primary. You see my clothes hanging there My primary filming So I think when I'm sitting here filming That's pretty well all you're going to see behind me. I think I hope And um, yeah, and the clothes on the door will be gone Yeah, dilemmas dilemmas, right? So it's thursday. I'm heading out. I'm heading to port smith and Then wolf baron of hampshire and it is snowing out. So I'm not looking for which of my ride I'm listening to I'll turn it down. I'm listening to stephanie ferrell focuses podcast on the mature youtube beauty community and her interview with Susan from little poet is going to be my entertaining ride to work in the snow This morning So I think this podcast is a little over an hour and that's about how long it'll take me to get there So listening to susan little poet and stephanie ferrell focuses two awesome youtubers. Yeah So that's what that's how I spend then I look at the clock and it's 5 a.m So I just spent six hours And and and in that six hours what I have is my intro of my video, which is one minute 45 seconds Oh my gosh So this is lake winnow-pasarkey In the snow. I don't often get to see it like this Even though it's not frozen solid Still Beautiful It's cold though, but it's gorgeous T g i f it's friday And I'm heading to london darry to get a prepare for garani you next week So it's going to be like a big training class and now they're saying there might be a storm coming in So that means I might have to prepare for a postponement Which I don't like but I just wanted to share with you if you've You might have seen this on instagram if you watched my instagram Stories, but this is what I ended up doing with my shelf behind me So I'll still film in the bathroom at times, but once I set my tripod up in the right position I'm using my selfie camera here not my selfie my vlogging camera But once I set up my tripod with my filming camera set up I would really like to just leave it In that kind of a location and not have to lug it around or Move it around so I really want to be able to set that up I still have to get rid of the clothes. I still have some a lot of stuff. I have to do in here But I'm really happy. Look at my little high heel Let me show you this That's a shot glass I love it And then I just ended up putting some of my hair my hair clips You know the pretty hair clips I have in this little crystal bowl With some gaudy jewelry hanging over it and I updated the frames the picture frames So I'm happy with the picture frames being updated And and I still have some Barbie dolls, you know, I still have like my mackeys out and I have my bubble cut But I still have some of my Pink box specials out too But not not nearly as many because I'll tell you emptying out those two big tubs made a huge difference So yeah, so now I'm off to London. There. I don't know what the day will bring but We'll see Jay just committed the cardinal sin I asked him yesterday when he was going to the grocery store if he could get me a cup I said one or two good honey crisps So usually you have to go through a pile of them in the grocery store because they're getting old this time of year You know, obviously, so I want them nice nice and firm. I don't want them overly rife, right? I'm a honey crisp snot So I didn't look last night. I just knew that he got me some honey crisps so packing my little school bag up and He's got the car started and I was like, all right, now I'm gonna go grab my apples He bought Honey crisp apples in a bag in a closed bag I freaked out. I mean who buys honey crisp apples like that? Nobody because they usually just put the rejects in the bag He's ignoring me Love you, babe Just don't like a bag of honey crisps like that Don't buy me honey crisp in a bag like that He's offended I think so my annual temperature check in 30 degrees 30 It's almost a heat wave I meant to say my daily check in did I say annual? Oh my gosh Daily 30 degrees And I bet you by the time I get to London that it'll be like 32 Maybe 33 because it'll warm up up there So my town is doing mandatory Recycling so they gave us these big trash bins that we have to do And it started January 1st. So the first trash pickup is mandatory recycling So Jay puts the darn Recycle things on the bottom of the driveway this morning Almost in the middle of the driveway almost in the middle of the driveway and you know when you we need And he did say to me inside the house at one point He said don't hit the trash recycle bins when you back out of the driveway and I said, oh, yeah No big deal, you know But then I got when I by the time I packed up and got in the car and and all that and Got a side out of mind and I didn't see it because the back end of my car is high I didn't see it. So I just Drove down the driveway and I He hit them and they they went they're on wheels They're on wheels. They've been flying in the middle of the road So I quickly put the car in park quickly quickly quickly because I wanted to Jump out and rescue my recycle bins before Jay saw them, but apparently he's inside the house So I like in the middle of the road trying to We save the recycle wheelie Thing and Jay comes out and he's like cracking up laughing He says I told you not to hit on my son. Yeah, but that was a long time. So we're having this argument I'm like saying, why do you have these stupid things in the middle of the driveway? He says they're not and anyways It did warm up. It's 34 degrees in legendary this is sort of like The finished product. I know you probably can't see it because of the lighting but It's a really pretty high heel up there. I'm going to go a little closer because I think I love that picture And I've got my bubble cut my mackey my mackey And she pretty And then on the second shelf, you know some creative rearranging. I added new picture frames. I think I might have already mentioned that and And then this, you know, I added another new picture frame here and this is just a crystal Thing and I got some You know glued gads and my barrettes from my hair my clips from my hair and you know stuff like that and I thought Oh, well that'd be a pretty place to put it. So that's what I did and then the high heel with the shot glass empty And then down on this shelf I have the and I you know, this may not stay this way But I have this picture. I really like that lashes and lipstick I'm not a fan of these candles, but I put them here for now And then over here another picture of J and I and a little candle And this is just um, I don't even know where I got this This is old. I've had this for a long time. It was in a bag. I never used it. It was my attic That attic clean out stuff. So Yeah, and I would find a place for my leaves for my table That kind of sit there But this is I think what the filming area is going to be looking so I'm actually kind of happy with it What do you think? Do you think that looks I mean like, you know, when I shoot a video So when I shoot a video, I'd probably be Not like that, but you know, probably I don't know, you know, but anyways, that'll be my background You may or may not see it, but I'm hoping it serves the purpose of being less cluttered So now oh I ordered from macy's I'll show you These two tops. So I ordered this sweater. Let me turn it around and I'll be able to see it better I really like that one a lot. It's big. It's oversized. I probably could have gotten away with a Downsizing one, but I really like this like ribbed texture here And I like this color and it's got a little zippered sleeve So I thought that was really cool and this other one that I I bought from macy's again online I like this one too so it's a wool a wool type sweater And I like it. I think it's it's very soft. It's very pretty I like the sleeves kind of like a bell sleeve And it's got like the little scalloping on the sides. Is that what you call it? Little ribbing ribbing So yeah, that's what I bought from macy's. I like it and so while I like it um I'm going to try this one on and my only concern is The it's kind of I don't know. I'm going to look at the material But my only concern when you have like this type of wool material whether, you know, it um nobies up Is that the right word for it? It nobies up. So I'm hoping it's not going to be up. Anyways, I am heading it's saturday, but I don't think I said that I'm heading down to my office where I am going to And I don't know I I'm not too sure when this um, this will be published And I'm not too sure when the podcast will be published, but I'm actually going to be interviewed on a podcast and I'm not super nervous Not yet I don't think I'm nervous But um, you know the other day on the way to work I was listening to a podcast that Stephanie feral focus had done with susan little poet So yeah, it's gonna be my turn in the hot seat. She's gentle with me. I hope I hope I hope So I'll let you know how that goes and again, this may be published before that gets published But if that gets published before this gets published, I'll put a link to the podcast down below if not I'll probably come back and add the link after the fact So if you watch this and there's no link for the podcast and you want to watch or listen to the podcast Which are really cool. You know, I'm a podcast and not anyways Then you can just come back and check for that link and you can go take a listen So we had a a huge change of plans, huh instead of going to jamesons. We're going You're going to alter with me And then we're going to go to a little restaurant afterwards and I just came back from Requining or being interviewed In a podcast. Yeah, how'd it go? You know what? It was a lot of fun. It really was so do you remember Stephanie feral focus her? Okay, so because we did that collab the camping. Yeah, so she started a podcast and I I think I was I think I was the third person she's interviewed. I'm not too sure now. Maybe the fourth. I I don't know but So she asked questions and it was it was really cool because we weren't like It wasn't like we were looking at each other. We're just like as if we were talking on the phone And the conversation you'd be good at that You mean I gab You know a little bit. Yeah, and the conversation just flowed It was like really awesome. It just it just kind of flowed my geeky glasses on but Yeah, it was like it was a super super fun I I want to say I think we I think we talked for about an hour Yeah, well, it's 3 30 now. I thought it started at 2 so probably a little bit longer than an hour So, I don't know she's gonna edit probably a lot of it out You know who knows and maybe it'll end up being 15 minutes in total But I don't know but we just gab and we were gabbing about youtube We're gabbing about growing channels how we started it was it was a lot a lot of fun I can't wait to hear the yeah, so it wasn't a project wasn't a live podcast It was no most podcasts are not live They're recorded and then posted publicly, you know, you can if you get to the point of being a really super You know, well known podcaster and you have the funds you probably can do a live podcast and court at the same time So I'm sure there's a way to do that Anyways, it was a blast. I enjoyed it. Well, I know you want to do a podcast on your own So I would love to do that and I was telling her and you know, initially what I was thinking about podcasting It was more on You know real estate social media a little bit of everything not necessarily on on may and video Did you talk about how great are you? I did tell you you had a podcast as well. I mean you had a youtube channel. She knows that Didn't tell her how great you were But it was it was awesome.
