 Shay by the baby Y'all it's Friday, and I'm ready to swing Y'all you girls summer walker is back in the in the news We ain't gonna talk about summer all day It is Friday. It is a slow. Thank God Let me tell you something. I have been getting up and starting work at 430 every day this week Normally, I get up around 4 anyway, but I don't typically start working But every day this week. I've been working 10 12-hour days When I tell you I'm tired. I am tired today. I literally stopped working around noon. I started at 5 So that's what I mean when I work I work straight through them besides me putting putting Jamie Taking him to school. I work straight through so I didn't have breakfast I didn't have anything. It was noon and then my manager sent me a message and she was like check your like Think it's like cheers, but you basically we have this type of program internally at my company to where Employees can recognize each other and it's a point system You can be awarded points and use those points to get you a gift So I saw that she had awarded me 800 points. I was like, oh, thank you, Gina So I'm winning. I said, what can I get so I saw that you had options for at Texas Roadhouse gift cards I'm like, okay, let me go to Texas Roadhouse for lunch today. You know by myself. Let me have me some me time now y'all I'm from Texas Yeah, I know this and I'm going to Texas Roadhouse literally my parents go almost every week Because that's one of the few restaurants that they have out in East Texas You know they have more but they love them some Texas Roadhouse child So even with that being said when we were living in Texas, we used to go to remember. Do y'all remember the black IP? job my my husband when we were that was one of the places we would go to as our first date Sorry dates for the weekend. So he would we would go to look I first of all I was really fat when he got with me. He liked me chubby, too So we would go to black IP Taco Cabana taco bueno, come here with kids. So we were you know, so anyway Instead of eating at Texas Roadhouse, we would do black IP and then black IP shut down They were like, no, we ain't we ain't gonna eat, you know, I digress. So with that being said, I really hadn't eaten there a lot I ate there for the first time Think it was shortly after I graduated from college and then for the second time when we went back from home and For my high school union, I'm sorry. I'm over the place. So long story short. I haven't been there a lot So I'm not sure what the food is really like. I just know that people in Texas love me some Texas Roadhouse, right? So we went to the one that's one right by our house I said, let me go up there and get me something mind you y'all I've been trying to eat fairly clean because I Yeah, not clean but a lot better than I have been and so of course They give you those dang on but it rolls with a honey With the cinnamon butter Now mind you I haven't had anything so I wolf down two and a half of those those damn things. I had to stop I'm okay Vivian Had me a little rum punch drink or whatever And so my mind was set on getting some catfish, but I'm like, no, let me try the burger Y'all when I tell you that food was so salty that but I mean I literally Looked at the burger. It was like did they did they look at me and be like oh There's a black woman over there We need to make sure this food is well seasoned put a lot of salt on it It was so I honestly should have took it back But I don't like to mess with people who want to mess with my food I would rather if you're gonna take it back. I don't want it back at all. I Don't know when I'm loading up this video more than likely Oh, I would be loading up this video at the end of November. It'll be after Thanksgiving.

It made me feel better So hold on y'all It's by NYX Anyway, um, I'm a little bit perturbed about my hair. Well, we'll go back to what I was talking about My hair dried. It was that dang on gurney or free teas. I Got build up y'all so I won't be able. Yeah, I'm not gonna be using it Let me turn this down some the brightness. Actually, let me just close the blind some there we go Is that a little bit better? I was looking way too light-skinned shout out to my red bone yellow bones I'm so silly. So anyway, y'all y'all we're going out there and what was I talking about? I'm on all other place. I know um So my hair why I'm itching it I was in the middle of doing a review Comparing two products on my hair and while I was actually taking it down I started seeing flakes and I had used the Garnier Fruity's the green bottle as a leave-in something happened even either I didn't work it in all the way or I Don't know. I don't know what happened. So Literally, I had to stop the the review because my hair was stiff and The products wouldn't have worked well, okay Yeah, I'm gonna take my hair down today. I don't know what it's gonna look like I continued the next day to do something with it. I just use my DIY Buttercream and was like, yeah, we're gonna go ahead and get it done So, yeah, y'all girl um summer walk apparently shared a picture of an altar I mentioned this briefly in my bottom to my upload this it would have been weeks Look, it's not funny, but This girl she is such a high. She's a walking country contradiction one minute This is what I want to say Apparently she has social anxiety, which is something that is a very serious, you know, which is why I think this is one of the reasons Sometimes when she performs, she's sitting down. I noticed that My thing though if you want to be a celebrity and a singer or an B singer in 2019 You have to know that a part of that type of celebrity status is being out in front of people Yeah, so I don't know what she was expecting. I don't know if she wasn't expecting to blow up like she did And I think that's one of the reasons why she has decided apparently to take to pull away besides her showing it Showing a picture of an altar child. I saw the picture model I'm like what in the Beyonce Illuminati open went for hell is gonna I Know Oprah is jealous of that Y'all she Someone ain't got nothing on Oprah and Beyonce's altar She know they they the high priestesses. They don't they what they up there a lot of hemorrhage. Yeah, I know I'm silly I'm gonna be using the Jacqueline Yelp palette To do something with my with my eyes here, um Yeah, y'all this is a jumbo milk come to as a primer I have actual Primers for your eyes when I ain't got time. Yeah, I have so much makeup one of these days I need to go through and actually The clutter I Know I'm doing this messy. I'm trying to hear it before Jamie comes back here. The door is locked Still, you never know someone says she done she is done with y'all y'all don't like her whole baths. So she's done She's done you she's like if you don't accept this whole bath. I'm done with y'all Yeah, I can't see so I do my makeup with my eyes My eyes on these are my eyes These big ass glasses What do you want? Spying to you what I'm doing right now. I'm applying a shimmery eyeshadow to the inner eye of my eyelid You got a bag. I'm gonna mess with him. He eating breakfast. Why he in there y'all was it? Maybe she's my husband. Why is it when they do something that's out of the extraordinary they pumped themselves up? He made some pancakes that granted my husband don't know how to cook He made some pancakes. He's a hmm. He's pancakes. Good. Oh, are they good JB come up behind her Holy she was I said I said I said she doesn't smell good. He's like you want some they are good I said first of all all you did was add some water to these little ragged ass pancakes Box but I was winning and just messed up his whole price y'all over some pancakes. I'm gonna give you don't quit boasting about some pancakes Anyway, that was sweet of him to make Jamie some breakfast this morning y'all I am Trying to figure out how to get back home It has been stormy weather here for the past Two days two to three days here in Phoenix. It was raining like crazy yesterday like Texas East Texas Oklahoma type of rain And it flooded so we're we're we are at first of all Phoenix is not built to handle this type of weather because the drain Drainage systems or just horrible. They just not you know architect wise design wise Whatever you want to call it is not built for that because we're in the desert and then if you take into If you take it to consideration the sand all that Yeah, so what happens when it when it rains here when it floods They shut down this main road that takes you through the mountains And I live in North Phoenix where there's not a lot of options to get whatever the hell you need to go So they shut that road down yesterday, right? I Have to take the 17 which is a main freeway or highway to get to JV school JV was late whatever they didn't count today as authority because of that main blockage Well in addition to the flooding in the rain, they have been working on expanding and not only the 17 but also the Um Christine just wrote me because I told her I can't get home. Let me get to it They are working on expanding the 17 and the dangles Scottsdale 101, you know going up north East 101 north and south the 17 which is where it blocks in that's a little better a look to a better So one that's going on to I need to come my best friend here That's a whole other conversation which I'm really not going to go that much into because she is my best friend And I want to protect her privacy but another thing is that um Well, it's gonna say It's busy at work like what in the actual hill and the reason why it is busy at work It's because we are international these folks don't celebrate Thanksgiving in India But they don't celebrate Halloween, which is you know, not everyone says excuse me They don't celebrate Halloween either, but they do not celebrate Thanksgiving. That is not one of their holidays, which is understandable So they are still emailing us at three four five o'clock in the mornings And and then our systems has been slow our network has been slow So that just makes it even more frustrating to know that you have a holiday coming up and you don't You really can't relax not only that but I don't have any days off I have our meaning. I didn't take any additional days off I do have the days off but sometimes people do take one or two days off and My manager was straight up tripping about taking off any additional days for the holidays I regret it now because I need it. I do regret it, but hopefully it will be slow I do have next Thursday and Friday off and we get of course Christmas Christmas Eve off in New Year's But you best believe I will be taking like a whole week off and January and February and I wish someone would say something because I am I'm technically and I'm coverage for like To two teams right now. I am the coverage for two teams while they get to take their days off Child so that's going on. You know work is crazy Yesterday I was asked to help keep this neighborhood drama going on some drama going on with some moms That I'm trying not to get a part of but I'm in it now I was asked to help keep some babies Which I was like, okay cool cuz they they paid me, you know because two of the moms gotten to it And so they don't one of them doesn't work there anymore. So I'm like cool I'll help let me show you guys my Christmas tree before booba comes in their ribbons I got from the Dollar Tree It matches the theme right this is a woodland gold type of thing These are those dolls I got from Target on clearance I get my stuff on clearance after the holidays. So this tree decoration With the exception of the ribbons is Curtis from last year decorations. Isn't it pretty? Isn't this cool cottage hours or 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. You want to come see Well Yeah, we just got out of the store what's gonna go to the park, but it is extremely cold is is Wendy and It's just make the cold factor even worse But you know, we just went into a little Santa shop here they have a little Santa's like set up and The Santa Claus there I watched already told Santa I said much. I don't believe in Santa Claus But he just he just won't he's here for the memories So the Santa say you know what I'm gonna tell you two things a lot of people don't know about Santa Claus one He asked JB how old does he think? Saint Nicholas is and of course you should sit in there cuz he doesn't know So the man lets him know this is an older gentleman, of course because it's typically older man at play Santa Claus He lets him know That Santa is over a thousand years old He said also the original Saint Nicholas a lot of people don't know this but the original Saint Nicholas was actually a black man I said for real Seriously, he said yeah, a lot of people don't know that the original Saint Nicholas was a black man and then Catholicized or sanctinized, you know, and a lot of people just don't know that I said he said go do your research You do your research. I said I'm gonna do my research on that. I Am gonna look that up y'all. That is very interesting indeed. All right We gotta figure out what we're gonna do because he ain't gonna be driving me crazy Ain't gonna show him, but you ain't gonna be driving me crazy JB All right, let's go All right, we'll find something in doors and baby, okay, like Walmart I am cooking. I'm still still trying to figure out what I want to do. I either want to make a Coconut raspberry cake or a pecan White chocolate cranberry cake. I know I'm all over the place. I'm not I'm all over the place, right? But the food preparation has to start actually tomorrow I have to create a starter which is used for sourdough breads But in jara is very sour, which is the flat bread that the food typically goes on I need to start that tomorrow. He's saying go and eat the obvies be washing the chicken Let me tell you how they be washing their chicken First of all, they wash the chicken and what they rinse it off Then they pour the water out then they put in lemons or limes with salt wash it Use the lemon I don't actually wash the chicken pour it out Then they pour water over it pour it out Then they put some fermentation water on it. Then they put they Washing the chicken it's like a whole damn day I've never seen again besides Islanders my West Indies y'all know I've never seen people wash chicken like this before They washed the hell out that chicken And I honestly think that makes the food they're basically almost tenderizing the chicken Then they cut into the chicken cut splits into the chicken so when the chicken is cooking in the spices the spices. Oh It's such a beautiful process. It is such. I love to cook y'all, you know this I'm very passionate about cooking so Yeah, yeah, I need to get some food grade gloves because I want to get my hands But my my nails are very short so I'm okay with that my nails are very short So anyway y'all today we're going to church and I'm still not sure whether or not I want to do a separate video For my outfit of the day my outfits of the day videos don't get a lot of views so I'm thinking about including that and My holiday hair video actually I think I will I Think I am I'm gonna go ahead and include my outfit Holiday outfit next to my tree my tree so cute Yeah, that's what we'll do I'm feeling a little bit better about this stuff going on with YouTube But when I tell you I'm trying not to really get into the other frantic videos Because now there have been at least one or two videos. I've seen in my recommendations From youtubers who are actually already being fined for what I don't know But you can now get sued and that's what's scary and so Yeah, I think you know what JV I? Think it's okay for now and JV is in the videos every now and then but it cannot be consistent I think that's where the red flags, you know, that's one of my videos will be flag If you're already subscribed to JV you can still see those videos But I haven't posted up anything new I just want the Whatever it's going on now to kind of slow down, you know, because right now everyone's frantic running around like chicken little so I want it to kind of die down for me to really put my head on and figure out what it I Post on his channel. Maybe twice the mop, you know what I mean, but it's still tied and connected to my channel That's why I'm being cautious And like I said emerald Emerald rice part of the rice family her comments are down There was someone else I was watching and their comments are disabled too, I can't remember who it is I Can't remember China I need to look up. Hold on y'all. I need to look up on Linus Davis out in Sweden the girl whose account was hijacked I I was Bad for her and then uploading Trump videos Trump Fox news videos and those you don't know that they're going through the impeachment process right now And so Republicans are flocking her channel. I don't care what part party you're from. There's not my concern But this girl is not even in America and this is going on and so I Was able to get in contact with Google support YouTube support, excuse me and working with someone Basically being a middle person because she can't contact them directly and if she does They've been blowing her off because it's not coming from her YouTube account. You see what I'm saying So I hate to say but YouTube is getting that way Like and I'm pretty sure she has more subscribers than I am Do not do but because they can't see that you see what I'm saying She's contacting them from an unknown account or whatever But if they see me with 22,000 subscribers, they're like, oh, we need to help you out. It's become that way I'm being very careful what I put in my tags Especially with chit-chats or anything like that. I wanted to start talking about more serious discussions or serious as related to black women After I saw Nappy headed her whole was video. I'm not gonna do that This is a lot of energy. It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort and we spend countless hours No one tells us to do it. We do it because we like to do it. You know, it's a hobby I guess my point is we as a country creator We spent a lot of time and effort putting up these videos and then when YouTube and Google and the Same thing and the government are shutting it down like this and putting all these things in place It really disheartens you and it really just it's not worth it at the end So if anything happens like that on my channel, I guess my point is that I would even have the energy or desire to continue I've put in eight or nine years of this. Are you serious? No And for what like even though my checks a little bit more, but I've never gotten more than four hundred dollars a What do you say four hundred dollars a month Let's just calculate this. Okay on average. I'm putting out two videos a week. Okay, that's eight videos a month That one depending on the type of video It could take me days to record and not even editing editing and uploading two to three hours Let's just say Let's just say eight hours. That's being a very very conservative eight hours of video Okay, then what I say eight eight um Eight videos a month eight hours of video and let's say that my average checked is three hundred and fifty dollars Let's divide this. Let's see how much I'm getting paid an hour five dollars and forty cents Five dollars and forty cents. Okay, and that's if I'm not doing anything else. You know what I mean, so Way below minimum wage, you know, and I know some people who not even getting four You know three hundred four hundred dollars and they're still so yeah, that's what I'm saying If it's anything happens five dollars and forty cents is not worth it. You know what I mean Because I was joking with Angel a couple of months ago when I took that break When I take a break I took a break around this time last year and I said girl I bought in this I only bought in twenty dollars less when I wasn't making any new content for a whole month. I Didn't put out any new videos for a whole month and all that it was affecting me about twenty dollars now What's what's generating revenue for me as my rice water video? Okay, cuz y'all wanna y'all want y'all here to go fast And if I was the type of person to jump on trending I would definitely put out that finna greek video like this, but I'm not gonna do that because I don't believe in finna greek Let me show y'all my outfit a little bit more detailed. I just got back from church This is that dress. Let me unbutton it Very cute, huh a little short it goes right above the knee and I Could be a little bit more conservative when it comes to my clothes Really cute though now paired with this cardigan, and I had my black and white. This is what it looks like Black and white purse JB is moving the table So I do apologize I'm serving you 50s realness domesticated Chai, I be careful. We just got back from um CBS and there was a man like literally following me look Pakistani and look I shouldn't say that he just took clearly from the Middle East He slowed down when he he slowed down when he saw me walking in Slow down even more and let us go in front of you I'm gonna get ready to make my cake. Hold on. It's dark in here. Hold on. All right. It's a little bit better This is an original recipe. I get inspiration from Pinterest, but I Am baby. That's JB make sure I put his cake in there So it really doesn't matter you see I'm using two different brands I know I believe it was chocolate Capricorn asked me if I would notice a difference JB I'm recording you really want as long as you're consistent with what you add So we have a duck and hind Betty Crocker, but they are both cake mix white cake mix I'm gonna be using four eggs one egg white some other things you can add to the cake mix I have said this before it depends on the type of flavor you have like yesterday I made a chocolate cake from my housekeeper. I added cocoa powder to her cake and Royal chocolate with some vanilla just to hey doctor it up a little bit since it's a white cake And it's an actual coconut cake. I'm gonna be using instead of water. I'm gonna be using coconut milk This is unsweetened coconut milk. You can find this loose. I can only find this at my local Walmart. This is coconut cream pudding It's gonna make the cake very moist. I'm only gonna only gonna use half of a half of a package Some vanilla here. We have some shredded Coconut for once is done Let me show you what I'm gonna add in between because this is gonna be two layers I'm gonna serrate the layers. These are not inch cake pans Okay, and I have a little bitty six inch for JB because he doesn't like icing or whatever whatever girl But I'm gonna put two I have two nine inch excuse me two nine inch cake pans in which I'm going to add the cake batter too But once those are done, I'm gonna serrate those in half because I have a filling that I made earlier this morning So here is my berry filling now. This is real cranberries. Hear me out. Hear me out y'all This is real cranberries which cranberry people typically think okay cranberry sauce. It's sweet It's bitter it is and that's why you pair it with dressing or stuffing which is a savory dish. Okay, so What I did there was I make this very sweet So this is cranberries. I made a cranberry sauce, but I add a little bit more brown sugar I use brown sugar instead of white sugar. That's what I would normally make add when I'm making traditional cranberry sauce white sugar But with this I use brown sugar. I added vanilla lemon Cinnamon a little bit of cinnamon, but then I folded in about three heaping tablespoons of raspberry Jam okay, like a preservative and so this is what I have this luscious So in between that white because white cake is very bland right in between that coconut white cake this and then oh girl Even better. I know this is very white. We have a buttercream icing. Hold on y'all better I made a buttercream whooped cream icing. This is basically one and a half sticks of butter softened One fourth of a cup of one fourth of a cup girl speak your syllables and vows One fourth of a cup of heavy cream heavy cream is just whipping cream Okay, when you mix it for a while it becomes whipping cream. I don't know how many cups of powdered sugar I just do it till I get stiff peaks vanilla Lemon and I believe that is it I was gonna ask some coconut to this too, but I think it'll be enough coconut in between all the layers It'll be enough. So this is how I'm gonna make my cake. I'm gonna finish off my cake today placing in the fridge
