 Oh, Mami-O. Hey, y'all, welcome back to my channel. Today's video, as you can see from the title, it is gonna be my very first ever vlogmas vlog. I've never, ever done vlogmas before. I am super excited to try to do vlogmas this year. If you're new here, my name is Akira Jenae. Don't forget to subscribe and join the family before you leave. So, the video that you guys are about to watch is a video that I already recorded about a week ago. For me to be able to try to do vlogmas this year and post 25 videos, I had to start early. So, this video is gonna be me going Christmas shopping, Christmas decor shopping with me and my boyfriend. We are gonna be going to some stores. I'm gonna show you guys a haul in this. So, it's gonna be like the intro to the vlogs and then day two. I already have that pre-recorded as well. I'm actually about to finish that up tonight. So, that's kinda gonna be in real time. It's gonna be me putting up all of my Christmas decorations, Christmas tree, like the whole not. So, stay tuned. I do have 15 videos already planned for you guys. I'm gonna tell y'all. I'm gonna for sure post every single day for 12 days, like the little 12 days of Christmas. If you're new to like the vlogmas thing, whatever vlogmas is basically where content creators or YouTuber will post every single day, starting from December 1st, a video every single day opens on Christmas. So, girl. I for sure have 12 videos planned and or some are pre-recorded for y'all. After 12, if I miss today, cut me some slack. But I do have 15 videos planned. So, yeah. I'm super excited. Y'all can comment down below some videos or ideas or something down below that you want me to do because girl, I still need like nine more videos. So, I don't wanna get to the point to where I would have to like vlog and record the same day because that's a lot. I'm a one-woman show. Like, I don't think I would be able to vlog, edit and upload in the same day, especially because my vlogs be kinda long and it takes a lot to like save it and upload it. So, it'll say it'll take two hours and it turns out taking four hours to upload. So, comment down below if y'all want the videos at my normal time at like 3pm or would y'all want them a little bit later since it's vlogmas, like let's say like 5pm. But yeah, I'm super excited. I didn't record an actual intro to this vlog. So, yeah, I'm super excited for vlogmas. I don't know what to say. This is my very first vlogmas. I wanted to do it last year, but I had a lot going on as well as me kind of feeling like I didn't have enough subscribers or like enough viewers, I guess, whatever. But my family or a family is growing. The AJ family is growing. I'm super, super duper excited. Yeah, I did hit 30K. I wanted to kinda keep that under wraps into my actual 30K like video, but we did hit 30K today. Super duper excited. I cannot thank you guys enough for watching me along my journey. Some of y'all have been here for since I was in college, even high school. So, I really, really do appreciate y'all. Don't wanna cry, but we're gonna save all of the 30K talking stuff for the actual video. So yeah, hope you guys enjoyed this. Like I said, this one is kinda gonna be an introduction into vlogmas. Vlogmas day two and the other ones is gonna be really, really lit. Some of the videos isn't just gonna be all about Christmas stuff either. Like, it's gonna be like I have like a moving vlog. I'm not moving, but I still consider it a moving vlog because it's like me updating my apartment, different like furniture pieces and stuff like that. So, we're gonna have a lot of different categories of vlogs and like actual like sit down videos and stuff like that. So, I'm super duper excited. I'm gonna stop talking now and my list y'all get into this video. Thank you so much again and yeah, hope you enjoyed the video. Bye. Pray you get that job in town, but that's only four hours away. Check out the car in a minute. All right. What can I get for you? I want the eight count nugget meal with a eliminating ketchup. Any other sauces besides the ketchup? No. All right, so I got an eight count nugget meal with me in front of the eliminating ketchup. Yes. Yes, I saw. All right. I'm gonna have to scan that code for you. All right.

Don't forget to subscribe and join the family before you leave. So me and bae right now are at Chick-fil-A. Y'all know I can't get enough of it. We're gonna be going to a few stores today. So I'm gonna bring y'all along with us. I don't really know what this vlog is gonna be. It's gonna be some type of vlog. I'm just watching you work. I'm just watching the magic happen. Don't get shy on me. Cause you reacted. It's being quiet, so I don't get it. After Chick-fil-A, we're gonna go to Pop Shelf and then at home by a little Target. I don't know. Target's right here. So we may end up just going to Target just looking around and stuff, but. What? Maybe. Why are you saying maybe? JC, this is for a kid. Oh my gosh, you are so extra. Don't share with him either. He's like, I'm just kidding. I gotta pass it to him. Okay, well be nice then. Thank you. I got ketchup. You got one. Okay. I ain't never caught it on the good stuff. What is she doing? I don't know. Where's your line? I need to go. What are we doing? To the Pop Shelf thing. Pop Shelf. Pop Shelf. Go towards the best vibe. Which way is that one? Just pulled out. Ah, there we go. You didn't say that on camera, did you? Guess that was funny. Yeah. If I'm trying to eat. And I can't prop out love cause he ain't got no mouth for me up in here. And I'm not about to put this up on the dash because. Sorry, my truck. Baby slanging. Baby slanging me around in the truck. Bye y'all, just bye. Cause I know what I'm saying, come on out, right? You got your wallet. Uh-huh. If you want me to just touch on you, just like that. You know that's a given, you know. Okay. That's the feeling that I get when we lie down. I got the weed and the crib and the liquor too. I fuck your soul, I release in your spiritual. I'll be your muse, bring your easel and pencils. That was probably not. It is. This is 15. I mean one for that. Yeah, it's not cause they're usually $20. Start trying to record and stuff. Oh, dog toy. I did that for points. Oh, that cute. It's cute. That's why I love it at home, because I got everything color-coordinated. Oh, this just makes me so happy. Do one like this too though, like the classic Christmas colors. I think it's so cute. I know, I know, I know. Babe, what am I gonna do? Oh my gosh. This is so hot. So we found a tree that we want. We're both getting the exact same tree. Do they got two? Okay, they got a lot. Yeah, so we're getting A37. It's a 6.5 foot tree. It comes with the lights on there already. I'm a male Velma. I mean, I'm a white. Yes, cute. So it comes with the lights and stuff. I'm gonna spray a can of snow on mine cause I want, you know, the fake snow effect or whatever. I'm gonna do a haul when we get back to the house. I need some glue balls, but yeah. We got some stuff in the cart. Now I just need like a tree skirt and then I do want my tree just a little bit taller. So I'm either gonna put it on my, what'd I say? What'd I say? You didn't even say that specifically. My, yes I did. My old end tables, yeah. So I probably put it on my old end table and then, or I can find like a, I call it like a tree stand and then you put like the tree skirt over it. So yeah, these trees, we got A37 if y'all wanna go to that home store. They're only $59.99, so $60, not bad. So yeah, that's what we're doing. We may go to Hobby Lobby. I don't know. Cause I'm trying to see where I can find the chief's stuff. I don't know if they got stuff. I might find all I need to do. Oh, you gonna stick that out? That's huge. No. That's probably like a $80, babe. I was just saying, look at it. Oh, that's probably $40. Oh no. How much is this one? I like this one. $42, cheap, $14, just $50. Okay, yeah. I like that one. I feel like that's huge. Look at this. $47, so 50% off of that. What would that be? $20? I think we need a basket. I need a welcome sign. Dang, dang, dang. I want something like this for where my TV at. I'm on, I'm on, gotta see what's going on. What's going on? What would you do? You're not eating that white. You know you're not cooking. Yeah, for the Christmas vibes. Okay, so for the Christmas vibes, $5.99 times 25% off. These are a hundred mini lights. How long are these 20 feet? I think I'm gonna need two or one pack. Cause I got two, my bed, 25 off, $5.99, what's that? I'm gonna get two, cause my basket was gonna be. His basket, he had to get a different basket. Cause I'm from, one basket was full. So that's our monster, that's his bag. He destroying stuff. You ain't getting none of this. 10th, I think I picked y'all up last when me and Bae was going shopping. So that might've been this past Monday. Today's actually Friday. Today is one of my pick up days. So I do gotta go to work today. It is actually four, I just got back from Bae house and picking up print, it's 4.18. I'm gonna leave out, that's Jasmine back there. I'm gonna leave out today for work at like 5.30 cause I'm hungry, but I wanted to open up some packages and stuff and show y'all what I got. I got three things delivered from Amazon. And then I did wanna give y'all a haul of all the Christmas stuff that I picked up as well. Obviously not gonna be putting any Christmas stuff in this vlog. I got, I got some plans coming up for y'all. I don't wanna spoil anything yet, but I got some stuff coming up and cooking for y'all. And don't mind my little pigtails. I was kinda tired of like the just one born little slick bag ponytail. So when I was leaving Bae house, I'm like, how about I just put my hair in two little ponytails, two little puff balls. Never ever wore my hair like this before. So I'm gonna use the bathroom real fast because I feel myself moving and I gotta pee and then we're gonna come back for a haul. So, ooh, I got three packages from Amazon just now. Some random stuff, but, and then I'll show y'all what I got for me and Bae when Christmas shopping. First package, oh, this is small. Ooh, baby, this is gonna hurt my little ass, baby. So y'all know I like to read. Finally getting around. I've been wanting to read this for a while. Don't mind my nails either because I gotta get a new set, but I'm trying to let these come off by themselves instead of like taking them off. Anyways, don't disregard my nails. Anyways, rich dad, poor dad. I don't wanna read this for a while and it's only 300 in some pages. This is a pretty tiny book as well. So I feel like I'll probably get through this really fast. I am gonna take this to work with me tonight and start reading this. So we'll see how far I'll get in this. How many chapters is it? Oh, so it got like chapter one, lesson one, lesson two, lesson five, chapter six, seven. So I think it's only like, this is a 30 set. It's only eight chapters. So yeah, I'll probably get through a lot of this tonight. The other item that I got at random. I needed another Apple Watch cover. So I think this was a pack of two. It'll be linked in my Amazon store front if you are wanting this. Yeah, so I have a rose gold watch. So this one is the rose gold I'm gonna put on and then this one is just like a clear, kind of like silver case. I'll probably rotate them out. I like that it did come with a two-pack because the last one I got was definitely not a two-pack, it's dying. I was thinking of maybe putting on this clear silver one because the jewelry that I have is like silver, but then I kind of like having it all look rose gold, you know? Like I like this look. And then the clear ones, these just pop right on it all. The only thing I don't care for about this one is my last cover, it had like a actual plastic, not plastic like screen protector. So that one had cracked and everyone used to think my watch was cracked. And I'm like, girl, no, my watch is not cracked. Okay, this is how the silver looks. May just be rose gold, yeah. It just looks like it goes with the watch a lot better. So I'm gonna stick with this one. Got, I can't quite remember what this one is. It was just, actually this came up on my Amazon like browsing feed or whatever, like homepage I guess. And it's a Miss Mouse, messy eater, stained remover. And this had so many good reviews. Like it had reviews like thousands. And when people started to spray this on their clothes, it'll immediately go away. So they keep some of his clothes here. So when I get off work, I think I'd be emptying out all my pockets, but I don't sometimes. So I will have like markers and pens and stuff in my pockets from my scrubs. I work at the hospital if you didn't know, I'm a patient care tech at the hospital. So sometimes I will have, you know, stuff left in my pockets. So I had an X-File marker left in my pockets and it literally got all over his, one of his shirts. And yeah, I've been trying to figure out how to take out that stain. I used that OxyClean, did not work. It's like since it's markers. So I'm hoping this works. I'm gonna actually try this out and we're gonna just test this real quick on camera. Yeah, I turned on a light so y'all can see. So this is the X-File marker stain. And yeah, it got him good. And he really likes this shirt and I felt so bad. I was trying to hide it from him, but I think he seen it one time, but he didn't like say anything to I guess like not make me feel bad. But yeah, I know he probably seen it. But hopefully this works. I'm praying it works. Literally all the women that was testing it, yeah, it was working. Okay, we're gonna test this out. Let's pray it works. And then you're supposed to just throw it in the washing machine. Let me read the directions first. Okay, remove any excess materials and wet dry stains with water. Treats, apply the formula to the fake stain. We gonna wet that, try to wet that. The main stain is wet. So we gonna test it on this big boy right here. Okay, it looks like it's trying to do something. We gonna see, let's pour it all over this. Oh, I don't know what to do to get marker out. I don't wanna have to return this. Okay, I'm gonna let this sit and do what it do. And then I'm gonna throw this in a dryer and then we gonna come back and see because baby it's not doing what the people shown on camera. Okay, the last thing I got to show y'all I went to water y'all cricket. I went to buff city soap and I went in there for this one item, it's their shower oil. I had bought, well I had bought laundry detergent from there and they let me get a sample since I had paid like over $50 or whatever on my last transaction. So I had sampled out this oil and I ended up really liking it. So I guess it comes like in a spray bottle. It's just shower oil. I love the coconut scent. It says to apply evenly on skin and rub it in and then you'll rinse it with water. It did not have the directions on the little bitty bottle. So how I used this was I got the mini bottle so the mini bottle wasn't a spray bottle. After I get done showering and everything before I would dry off and my body was still soaking wet I would put this on and then I would kinda dry off and I still feel like I was getting the effects of it but it says apply evenly on skin and rubbing in and then you'll rinse it with water. So I guess I'll try that and see how I like it. But anyways, I got this. I love it, it's a really good product. And for whatever reason, she said if you come at the right time at buff city soap you will like be able to get something free for like a whole year. So she was like from now on I'm gonna be getting like a free soap with every purchase. She will have to explain it again. I didn't record or anything but I don't know the logic cause I've only ever bought something from there twice. So I don't know, she said I just came on a lucky day and sometimes you will just get something free for like a whole year. So it smells really good. I got the sour candies. I absolutely love it. Can't wait to use it. All right, so getting into my Christmas shopping haul as you can see behind me, this is from Hobby Lobby. They have 50% off everything as most of you should probably already know. This one was regular $26.99. So I got that 50% off. That's a really good deal because first off, this one says Merry Christmas and then you can flip it. And it also has welcome but it do have a little reef right here. So even after Christmas, I feel like I may just turn it over to the welcome side to get a little bit more use out of it. But yeah, I am super excited. That's so cute. And that's like such a steal because y'all know reefs and door signs can get real pricey. So I took everything out the box. We're gonna start off with, like I said, Hobby Lobby. I got a pack of 200 mini lights. These lights are multi-colored. I thought since it's Christmas it'd be cute whether it is having white lights outside. So I decided to get the multi-colored ones. And the Christmas lights was 25% off, not 50% off, but they were regular $5.99. And also fun fact about Hobby Lobby, why did they make her like Hobby Lobby? She had to key in everything. Like she couldn't just ring it up and it'll automatically go to the sale price. I was like, oh no, man, no way my man set up. Even if it's 50% off, like I would, mm-mm. And then people, like we was talking to her and she was steady just keyin' them in. Like she good, she good. Anyways, I got this cute little tree skirt. My boyfriend had got a bigger one, but now his is a little bit too big for his face. So I am glad I did go with the smaller one. So I got a white fluffy one because I got a lot of white fluffy pillows and stuff and I just thought it'd be on theme to get this regular $19.99. And then the next thing I got is these cute little trees. It's a three-piece tree set. I actually bought these from the at-home store but took them back because this three-piece set was cheaper at Hobby Lobby since they had them for 50% off. Little stuff like this, I'm just gonna put kind of in my bathrooms because I'm not just gonna completely Christmas-five my bathroom. Just gonna have cute little bitty statement pieces in there so you can still kind of feel like the Christmas spirit going throughout the whole entire apartment. Moving on from the trees. I also picked up this cute little bitty silver Christmas tree because y'all know my colors are black, white and silver for my kind of like, not gonna be accent color because anyways, black, white and silver is my colors in my apartment. And I thought this would be super cute so maybe put on the bar somewhere. I think that'd be cute. Then I always wanted a Christmas countdown. They had this cute little days till Christmas countdown so we're definitely gonna be putting this up. I have a cute little like, I wanna do a TikTok of putting all this stuff up so I think it'll be cute, but yeah. It's a little house and it has a little stand like a picture frame and it's a little magnet so literally, girl, did the magnet come off? Oh, now meow. I know you, I know you can't. Okay, so it's a magnet on there and then you will just put it on there. So I'm just gonna go ahead and put 25 days on there. I might have to super glue that because that's gonna piss me off. What I got is this cute sign that says Joy. I was looking for a wreath but Hobby Lobby didn't really have any good ones and the good ones say hair and girl, they were $100 and even 50% off, I'm not paying $50 for a wreath. I'm sorry. So I got this, this says Joy, super cute. I'm gonna put this outside. I wanted to know the wreath for my patio door. I'm not sure if I'm gonna put this on my patio door or I'm gonna put it like on the side. So yeah, we'll see. But it just says Joy, super cute, especially on theme, got the white going. So real cute, real cute. The next thing that I have is stuff for the tree. And then I also got a wreath holder right here. But these, I've never had these before. I'm trying to do a little something with my tree, a little something different with my tree this year. Like, you know how you just stick these in the tree? I've never put these on a tree before. So I'm super excited. These two was $199. A few of these other ones was $199. And then these sparkly ones right here were $99 cents. It's this cute little tree. I was thinking of putting this outside somewhere, regular price $10.99. So yeah, I probably asked some snow to it. I did buy a can of snow from there, regular $9.99. So I'm literally just gonna put a little snow on there. And I was thinking, like I said, putting this outside of my patio or I may put it out on my balcony. We'll see how much stuff I got out there. But yeah, I thought this was cute, girl. You cannot beat these prices at Happy Lobby. Like, super cute. Next thing I got is a lone thing of a garland. Don't really know where I wanna put this. I was thinking of putting it where my entryway table was. And then I was thinking of putting it kind of up there on my TV stand. So we'll just see. The last thing that I got from Happy Lobby is just a placemat or doormat, I should say. Regular $14.99. I also had bought one of these from the at-home store, but I took it back because the one from the at-home store was $12.99. And then this one was 50% off. And this one just says probably watching Christmas movies. I thought that was cute. And then it got a little popcorn right there. So yeah, I didn't want nothing too crazy and too Christmassy. So I'm super excited about Pop Shelf. Only thing I bought from there was Alley Pop drinks and then just this doormat as well. They didn't really have none of the Christmas stuff put out. So I literally just got this. It's just a regular little mat. And I like to put this down and then I put the brown mat on top of this one. So from the at-home store, I got this cute silver flower because silver is still gonna be the theme of my tree. Yeah, just a silver flower is gonna go at the top of my tree. I like to put a flower or an angel at the top. Probably needed some more of these. So I went ahead and picked some of those up. And y'all, I got the cutest little stocking for prints. How cute is this? $7.99 at the at-home store. Come on now. This is so sick and cute. So you can put stuff in right there. I just thought this was the cutest little thing ever. This is so cute. I can't wait to put our stockings up. And it's white and brown, perfect because my other stockings that I got for me and my family is literally white. So I cannot wait to put this up. It is so cute. The last two items that I got from the at-home store was some ornaments. I probably recorded this already in the store, but I just got a 50 piece for $1.99. And I looked at my receipt and it turns out these were actually on sale for like $2 cheaper. So I got 50 ornaments. They are a little bit on the smaller side, but when me and Babe put up his tree two days ago, because we got the same tree, he didn't even use all of his ornaments. And he only got like one pack. So I'm like, but also me and he don't, like he don't care for his trees to just be as full, like us as women most of the time will put all the stuff on our tree to where you can't even see the tree anymore. So it was like just the decoration. So that's what I liked. So I am excited that I did get a 50 pack of these, super cube, silver, white, clear. And then I also got another pack of ornaments. This is a 40 piece. So these are a little bit smaller. I probably put some of these on my pink tree as well to kind of fill that in some more. And then the last thing that I got obviously is my Christmas tree. It's a 37. If you want it the same tree as me, it was only $60 and it's 6.5 feet. So that's my little haul. I'm going to clean up my little mess because it is 4.56. I'm going to go ahead and start getting ready for work and probably unpack my bag. I got a load of clothes in the washer. I got it on a quick cycle. So it's only going to take 30 minutes. So yeah, I probably pick up this camera again Saturday because I'm off Saturday and Sunday. And we're going to take down all of this fall stuff. Well, mostly I got some Halloween stuff still up, like spiderwebs and like a fake spider. So we're going to take all the Halloween stuff out and really just take the fall stuff out as well because I'm about to start decorating for Christmas here soon. I'm not going to be showing any Christmas related content this month. I'm going to save it all for December. So unfortunately you won't see me like putting up my tree and stuff until December 1st, but I am going to have my tree up way before then. So yeah, I'm going to stop talking. I've been talking for seven minutes, girls. So I'll see y'all probably tomorrow after I wake back up because I'm not going to work. So I'll talk to y'all later. Bye.
