 Hey y'all, it is June 10th and it is 9.50 am. I am currently on my way to Cafe Nosei to meet Faith and it is such an exciting week. I'm eating so many new people here in Austin and I totally wish I started a week in my life vlog but I got home on Sunday from California and it was just a lot because I had to like unpack, get back into my routine and everything. I wanted to stay productive enough and so I'm at Cafe Nosei and look how freaking cute it is back there. Amazing. Decor is on point. I'm with Faith right now. Say hi! We got our food. It smells really good. It really does. It literally smells heavenly. I got a BLT. What'd you get? Oh my gosh. Biscuit. Biscuit. Yeah, that is huge. We're going to be super full after this and take some photos. Look how cute she is with her little skirt. Where'd you get it? H&M. Ooh. Alright guys, so we have made our way over to Kendra Scott. Again, I was here last night but Faith has never been to the new one, right? Yeah, I have like the original flagship super close to here but this is like the newly renovated one and y'all know, I will link it down below but I went here for an event the last time, not yesterday, but it was so cute and to have this little cafe and Faith got... Oh! So yum. Yeah, and they have like a neon sign, a little cafe and obviously there's the shop right there and I actually got to see the fall collection early yesterday so I had this banquet on. I don't know if you guys probably can't tell but it's really cute and kind of styled it like interesting. Oh, I'm sorry. We're both wearing a dad's shoes. It's currently almost 3pm and I'm home. I stopped at Starbucks because I had a little meetup, a little meeting kind of thing whatever you want to call it with. Someone that I'm going to be working with very soon for getting into the wedding industry and I'm really really freaking excited about this because he is kind of going to like take me under his wing and I'm going to be his second shooter for like some weddings, like four weddings or so. And I am so excited because I've always kind of wanted to get into the wedding industry and just kind of see what it's like. It does seem a little bit stressful but I have a feeling that once you get the hang of it, you'll just kind of like, it'll come to you as second nature. I feel like I just need practice. I need to try it out for my first wedding. I've never done it before. I only did one engagement shoot before and I definitely want to do more. So if you guys know anyone in the Austin area, slide my name into their email or chat or text or whatever. But right now I'm freaking thirsty. I'm also really sleepy and I'm kind of proud of myself. I didn't get anything at Starbucks. I really wanted an iced white mocha but I said, you know what? I've been spending way too much money. And guess what? I'm going to be spending money tonight again because I got invited to an alumna bet for the Austin chapter. I think it's at like a wine bar or something like that. And I think there's like 28 Katie alums that are going to be there. So I'm excited. My friend Megan invited me. Well, I've never met her before but she's going to be my friend. And she was a Katie alum. So we all kind of connected through like the capital to national like connection page, if that makes sense. So it's really cool. Like I'm really thankful for Katie. Like it's done so much for me. And like it's always made me feel at home. If that makes sense. It's so cliche but like totally true. Like when I came to college, it gave me friends. When I came to Austin, it's going to give me friends. Like it's freaking crazy. And when people ask me like, is Greek life worth it? I'm like, dude, yes. Like, have you not been watching my videos? Like, I don't know. I'm very passionate about Greek life. So the answer is yes, you should sign up for recruitment. Do it right now because it's going to be worth it. I'm so sad because one of my blog posts that I was writing in California and I did a really good job writing it. And like, it took me so long just because I was being really thorough. It didn't save. And I'm like, how did it not freaking save? Because I know WordPress is really good about saving things. I was so mad when I found out. I'm going to rewrite pretty much the whole blog post again. It's going to be about how I started my YouTube channel and how I started my blog. And like literally all my frequently asked questions because I'm in Instagram story and I didn't want to come off like too harsh or too mean but when I get the question like, oh, like, do you have any advice? I'm like, yes, of course I have advice. But like, I don't know what to say. Like, I don't know what to say first. I don't know what to say next. Like, you have to ask me specific questions if you want me to help you because there's just so much to say. It's very overwhelming. And I can't just sit there for like hours and hours just thinking of like what to tell you. Does that make sense? Like I really don't want it to be like harsh or mean or anything. It just helps me and it helps you too if we get straight to the point. If you ask me those specific questions you may have like about literally anything like don't beat around the bush because it's just, you know, it's beneficial for the both of us. So anyways, I'm going to go write that blog because I also need to make business cards and I have really exciting news that I'm going to be changing my Sonali Productions name to something really cool and something really just fun. So that'll be exciting. I don't know when that's freaking going to happen because there's just so much to do. And it's crazy. Like you guys probably think I'm crazy for saying that there's so much to do when I don't have a job but like I have so much other stuff that I could be doing. Like I still need to finish. Oh, I didn't tell you because I did a blog yesterday. So basically there is a course that I bought like a couple of years ago with like literally $300 or something like that. It's called Pimpinant Growth. So it's about Pinterest and how it can be a really good marketing tool for like literally anything. So anyways, I did that course a while back and I used one of the programs that I said to use but unfortunately that program got banned by Pinterest. So now I have to use the other program that they said to use. They let you choose between two and obviously I chose the cheaper one like who wouldn't. So now I have to like retake the course but like whatever. So I need to do that and I really want to do that because I really do believe that Pinterest is a really great tool for my blog, my pictures, my Instagrams like literally anything for me to be found and obviously on YouTube like it's a good thing to be found. So I really want to do that. There's just so much on my to-do list on my phone. It's actually insane. Anyways, I'm talking too much getting more dehydrated. I'm going to relax. I'm going to have a bottle of water and then I'm going to write the blog post. It's going to take so long. It's going to take so long. It's driving it. Alright, let's get to it. So I'm setting up my computer and everything. That's the one thing I hate about going to Starbucks is that I have so many like dongles and like things that I need like normal people. They just have their computer and like a charger, right? But like I have like so many freaking dongles, my hard drive, all that stuff. So I have to remember to bring it all and I don't know, that's just why I'd rather work from home. But in retrospect, like obviously it would be nicer to work in a coffee shop because it just makes you more motivated and I don't get sleepy doing it that way. But also when I was writing my blog post like I'm one of those people that need to like be in silence to hear my own thoughts. Like I have never been the type of person that can work or like do homework in front of the TV or like music. I cannot do music. Sometimes even if it's instrumental, like I don't know, I get like too distracted. So I have to be in complete silence. So maybe it's better that I came home and did this blog post. But I wanted to quickly show you guys any product that I've been using. This is the Laneige Lip Blowy Balm. So you guys know like their lip sleeping mask is super trendy right now. But they just made this. It's kind of like a thinner consistency of the sleeping mask that's thicker. Which I kind of like that. I honestly thought it was the same thing just in a tube. But like this is more like lip glossy. But like still moisturizing I guess. There's no color. It just smells like peach because I got the peach flavor. But there's a lot of flavors. I'll link it down below for you guys if you want to check it out. And another thing that I forgot to mention is that hopefully this post will be up before this vlog. And down below please go read it because I'm going to be spending so much time on this post to make it perfect for you guys and to be really thorough and to be informative because I love to vlog and I love to share my memories and just like fun things in my life but I also really love to like help people out and just be really informative about what I do and like photography and like blogging and like literally anything because I feel like it's very interesting for people to know about. So if you guys have a question that is not covered on this blog post please Instagram DM me at so underscore gnarly without the G. And then I can add to this post. I want this post to be updated as often as you guys ask me questions. So every time somebody asks me a question I want to add it to this if it's not already covered. So please DM me any other questions if you don't see it on this post right now. But hopefully I cover everything. Now my season is so loud and annoying if you guys know from my college dorm like my mini fridge was so freaking loud like I would tone it out like I wouldn't notice until I edited my videos and it was just that annoying humming sound in the background it was so it was so bad. I'm gonna get back to work and I'm probably gonna get ready like 5.30 because I'm already ready I just need to pick out an outfit and stuff be a little more classier not as edgy you know. So I'm still writing my blog post over there but sometimes I feel like when I lose like content that I've created like it literally stabs me in the heart like that is a feeling that I don't wish upon my worst enemy but there's always like a way to fix it and next time this happens and next time like you know my hard drive crashes knock on freaking wood but next time anything like that happens I really have to like remind myself that you know it's gonna be okay you can like redo it it's not the end of the world it's hard it's hard to tell yourself that but sometimes there's like worst things happening in the world there goes my AC again it knows when I'm about to film and then it turns self on it's amazing thank you AC right now I'm gonna do some dishes yay usually I'm not really lazy like if I eat something I will clean the plate I will clean the glass right then and there and like even when I'm cooking I will literally clean while I cook but last night I was like lazy so I have to do my dishes now so let's do them and I forgot I have to like empty out the dishwasher so should be a grand old time thing 550 I'm about to be 6 haha nobody eats that nobody wants to go away hello anyways I just got ready basically just changed my outfit so I'll show you guys what I'm wearing I'm re-wearing this dress quite a bit recently just because it's so okay but I I had my time with that outfit but it's time for this dress I just feel like it's really flattering and I actually picked it up at Play-Doh's closet and it's a shift dress and I don't have to wear a real bra which is a win-win then I got my new sandals on then I got from Forever 21 they are so cute they have like the little strap and then on my ankle I'm actually wearing an anklet that I just got from Kendra Scott and it is so cute I was actually taking pictures of it today and I oh I need to post that Instagram I was in the middle of posting the Instagram and then Ryan walked through the door and I got really excited so I had to stop what I was doing these earrings are from Amazon so I'll link them down below they're just chunky gold little hoops these glasses are from Zinni optical $7 this is my code RyanSummer1819 amazing I even told Ryan about the blog post that I was writing and how it got deleted and he was like wait no that one because I like read it to him and like well I read it to you in California and he said I wrote it really good so even he was sad that I lost all of my content but it's fine because it's almost done I'll have to like link a few more stuff and I want to make it more informative like I said so I'm trying to get more questions on Instagram I just posted so if you're watching this hopefully your past self ask me questions but if you don't you can always DM me oh what a sweet boy you sprayed dust all over this yesterday Ryan I did not do that basically like up here in these windows there was so much dust I don't even how wait how'd you see it oh yeah yeah he walked up on a chair and he saw up there it was so dusty all along here everyone was dusty so we put in a work order for the guys to come clean it and this mirror ended up getting really really dusty so I can only imagine what's on our floor right now but I can back him later we are gonna head to the event well I am gonna head to the event Ryan is dropping me Ryan's not he's telling me he's getting Loro which is a place no it's a place that we've been wanting to go to for a long time but Sophie's with me as you can tell I'm like very hard breathing underneath me that's Sophie she's taking a little joy ride with us I just got to Opa and don't know how much I'll be vlogging inside but I will let you guys know how it goes afterwards I'm nervous I feel like there's just gonna be so many people there so so we are here in Opa and I'm with Megan and she is what college are you from Michigan State in chapter I'm at University of Central Florida Epsilon over Con so this is so cool this is my first alum event and I'm guessing you're a student we're excited we're getting just both moved here yeah I just got out of the alumni event so the meetup was pretty great I met everyone and you know I was like PSI don't have a job hit me up girls you know ladies help assist out like if you know you know wait it's this anyways so I met everyone and it was great I got Sangria I felt like it was gonna be a little bit longer it wasn't that long but anyways for the chapter dues I thought it was gonna be like 40 bucks per month or something like that so apparently newly grads get a $10 membership for the whole year so I'm like sign me up and then regularly it's $40 per year which isn't that at all compared to like what I used to you know what my chapters were that's like insane but I think it's only monthly meetups much stuff goes on but I'm so excited and I'm glad I'm gonna get involved sooner than later so I think the one thing that was holding me back was the dues because I was just like I don't really want to pay like a monthly payment yet while I have all these new monthly payments so yeah for all you people out there I mean it could be different for every alumni chapter alumni chapter but now we know we are now at Shake Shack with a very hangry boy wow it's beautiful alright let's go eat Shake Shack experience look at this I don't know about these fries though why he loves these kind of fries I don't really I don't know if I love these kind of fries but we will try yeah I need that too that's my milkshake I want it that's like a chocolate with cookies and cream I think that's why it's probably so good I'm gonna have this this is good for me
