 Can I kill egg bites, please? With two pumps, peppermint, no classic, and a splash of cream. Thank you, I'll see you at the window. Thank you. Good morning, guys. Welcome back to another vlog. I'm having the hardest time waking up in the morning these days. Like, I think it's because it's cold. I was supposed to wait until 7.30. I moved it to nine. I was like, I don't know what it is. My bed is so cozy, it is so cold, and I want to stay in it, you know? It is Thanksgiving week. I have, like, a little cozy week at home. I don't know if this vlog we're going to Thanksgiving or not. I haven't decided yet. I'm going weight lifting, and then I've been having, like, not been able to focus and had no energy, so I'm going to the sauna in cryo after, and then we're vision boarding today, okay? Okay, got it, sorry. I like your air pressure. Thank you. All right, thank you. Can I get a straw as well? Any napkins? Um, I'm good, thank you. So I'm gonna vision board today, make a list of goals, just do things like that, you know? It's almost like we're getting our lives together for the new year, but really early because I need to send in all my solo podcast episodes, basically the rest of the podcast episodes into January by, like, December 13th or something. So I just want to get ahead and get ready and prep, especially because this week is going to be all over the place. So welcome to, like, a cozy couple days at home. Subscribe if you're new here. I wish that my workout was done. It's just too cold. Like, it is cold. By the way, this is my Starbucks order lately. It is so good. Like, I look forward to it every morning. It does suck, because I wish I had a little, you know, red cup, but so good. Y'all, this is so sad. Like, so sad. As you guys know, first off, like, this is just so sad. I know I've vlogged about this before it's getting fixed today. It sucks, because this is, like, dying, but I can't really do anything about it for the time being. I'm gonna have to have my task grabber get you in, like, five minutes and he's gonna set up the next one. Long story short, they sent me one that's, like, morph. Like, this came out and so it all fell. This is going great. I hear the squirrels up here all the time. They'll, like, look at what they've been digging. But look, guys. So it's so wet, though. A lot of the flowers. I mean, the weather hasn't been done. I mean, it's been so bad. A lot of the flowers have died. The basil, like, it doesn't matter what I do, will not. Also, like, they're in this. The oregano's fine with the basil. I mean, like, that happened literally in the past 24 hours. Rosemary, I mean, it's obviously, like, the worst time to start a garden. But, you know, this looks better. I didn't even get my after shot with the plants looking good. So that's unfortunate, but this is tragic and it will be fixed today. Another one is being put together and we're gonna move that over somehow. I need, like, a shovel or something. A bigger shovel than what I have. But over here. Like, this is looking great, guys. I'm happy about it. It's kind of looking awesome. Okay, so the garden is getting fixed. It is currently noon. Listening to okay sis, because Dom was on. I mean, I always listen to okay sis, but Dom was on this week and it's really good. This morning has been quite the wellness morning. I woke up late. I went and went and lifted and then I went and did the sauna and then I did cryo. I got a burst of energy after and I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna get my run out of the day because I'm doing couch to 5K so I have three runs a week and we already took last week off. So, got all that done, showered and now I am ready. Think I'm gonna have a nice little, like, bread-winning housewife day with the garden, maybe learn a new recipe, try something new out. I need to clean up a little bit. I was just organizing my closet really quickly. But yeah, I don't know what to do about all these dead plants now because it's like, it's been storming so bad that they over get over watered and there's nothing I can do. I know it's, I know. This is not the time to start a garden. But I'm impatient and I wanted to do it so I did it anyway. So we're gonna have to figure out what I'm gonna do. I need like a really big dustpan for over there. This is really tragic. The last thing I need are new coffee mugs because I just put some away but I saw these on Etsy a few weeks ago when I ordered them. Like how cute are these? I love them. They're like perfect for my house. So I got more and this is why, this is why I have way too much stuff. It's just like unnecessary. We're gonna do a little book update. So I think the last thing I said was that I read Matthew Berry's memoir. Actually I barely read since then. I've been in a really bad book slot. Like I have so many book samples right now that I just haven't pulled the trigger on. I have a Kindle, of course. I love my Kindle Oasis. It's not necessary. Get a paper white, honestly. I read a lot so I was fine to spend more but like honestly it's like not necessary. I do think it's nicer but like the paper white is totally fine and that's the one I buy the most as gifts because I love reading so much and I don't really watch TV. I bought the nice ones myself but I would have been totally fine with the paper white. I read Captain Center. Everyone is beautiful and like I honestly don't even remember what that book was about. Let's look at my book review. I gave it a three stars. Oh you know what? I read this because I love the bodyguard by her and at first I was like oh this one's good but then it just like went on. I'm like what? I literally nothing happened in the book. Like it wasn't really my vibe. I read Matthew Perry's memoir which I, it made him like unlikable. I don't know how to describe it and I hate to say that because like memoirs are so personal and vulnerable and like I really commend him speaking on addiction and like so vulnerably but like something about the book, the tone was, I don't know, maybe I needed to listen to it in like audible form so that I would like get the jokes cause I'm missing the jokes but like something about it wasn't great. I started reading when women lead. I'm still reading that one. Hard of Hope by Lucy Score. I read this book in two nights. It was a short, quick Lucy Score book. It was fine. Like I liked it, it was cute but it wasn't like, I wasn't like oh my God I'm dying for this book. I downloaded Happenstance which is Tessa Bailey's new book so I'm curious to see if that one's good. I started reading the sample, wasn't into it so let me know if you guys have read it and if it's worth it and then I downloaded Rock Bottom Girl by Lucy Score just now or last night and I'm like 8% in but I am having really bad book sump issues. It's actually a good thing to bring up by the way. If you all have been Dallas I'm doing a Dallas book club. I-R-L December 7th at Wild Detectives. All the info is on TikTok and on my Instagram. It's open to everyone. Our first book is It Starts With Us. So finish up the time you come or like honestly just come and hang. We can get drinks, hang, talk books, make friends, whatever. So anyways, I'm in a really bad book sump and I'm trying so hard to get out of it but like I don't know what it is the past like two or three weeks I've just not been it for me. They've really not been it for me. Okay, well I'm gonna, I sure don't know what I'm gonna do right now. Part of me like wants to go to Sprouts. The other party wants a vision board. Like I don't really know. These are kind of my ideal days. Okay, I ended up just ordering my groceries. I really wanted to go to Sprouts but I got the scheduling wrong today and someone's actually coming over at two to build the raised garden bed. So I had to order it. I got myself a little buffalo chicken wrap because I'm so hungry but I'm gonna make this isn't technically a new recipe. I know I said I wanted to make a new one but I don't think I've made it this year. I haven't made it in forever. It's this chicken rice soup. It's so easy to make. Every single soup I make is so easy to make but it is so good and I was craving it and since it's so cold out I was like this is what we're doing today guys. So I got everything to make that soup. We have chicken broth and I actually got this. This is the bona fide provisions. I love their bone broth. You can order it online with the frozen bone broth and keep it obviously in your freezer. I love it. Oh wow. Oh, oh wow. Okay, so three and a half pounds of chicken when I needed one. Didn't realize that. Oops, I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of it. I guess I'll have it for something. Carrots, spinach, celery. Carrots and celery are the base of pretty much every single soup. Oh wow, dill. I didn't need that much. Great. Onions, lemon. I'm actually leaving. I wanna say Wednesday to go to my mom's for Thanksgiving so I just got like random, oh, long green white rice, which I'll need for the soup. I got random like frozen meals just in case I needed them before leaving. But now that I have so much chicken, like what am I gonna do? I don't know. Okay, so this is the buffalo cowflower mac and cheese bowl. Looks good. Anything buffalo reminds me of Molly. I also got the buffalo style cowflower bites. I missed for so much. I mean, I talked to her this morning, but still. And then the spinach and kale lasagna. But again, Miss Molly, I always say, okay. You're gonna have like nicknames for your friends. It's not a nickname, but Molly, Molly Bailey, Molly's oldest name was Miss Molly at 14. And so I always call her Miss Molly. Like, I don't know. Anyways, love these thinking of you, Miss Yeo. So I'm gonna make some food here. Oh my God, I'm so hungry. I'm gonna eat first and then make some food. Listen to some podcast. I'm like in my creative at night era, like middle of the day. I'm like have a burst of energy to work out and like do my wellness stuff in the morning. And then I like cut up a brain dead and then later on in the evening or night, is when I get all the like ideas and I'm like a lot more productive and creative. I'm planning out the podcast for the rest of the year, slash into 2023. I hear y'all wanting solo episodes and I'm gonna try it. I think I'm gonna do three in a row and just see what you guys like. And then I'll probably go down to like half interviews, half podcast. My goal is to do eight episodes a month. So I have two episodes weekly. One solo, one interview. We'll see, I'm at five now. At least I wanna be at like six as time goes on throughout the year. So at least six podcast episodes. That is my goal. So let me know what you guys think down below. I'm also brainstorming for a new podcast art. Like I just can't get the vision. Like I'm trying so hard. So anyway, it's gonna make the soup. It's really easy. I'll probably just like kind of take you along and then show you. I can link the recipe below. If I don't, it's a modern proper chicken and rice soup. It is so good. All right, so I just really started on the soup. What you do is you start with obviously onions, carrots, celery, then you add in four cups water, six cups chicken broth, add in the chicken breast just completely whole and then a cup of rice. I don't always measure it out like this. I just like did for the sake of this video. And then once the chicken, this is gonna boil and then once the chicken is cooked, which it's like boiled through obviously, I will remove the chicken, add the rest of the stuff in here and the spinach and stuff you'll see and shred the chicken myself and then add it back in there. And then I'll just like let it simmer and stuff, but it tastes incredible. This is actually like one of my favorite soups that I really don't make enough, but I like it. I find it a little bit more filling because there's rice in there so you have like more carbs. It gives me more energy. So anyways, love this one. All right, so the soup is pretty much done. I'm just like, I just added in the spinach. You're really not supposed to add in the celery and carrots until this part, but I just forgot. I kind of tore up the chicken a little bit and then I need to add in some lemon juice, but I love this. I honestly wish I would have done even more rice because I like it. I like a soup that's like, not chunkier, that's not the right word, but like less liquidy, less soupy, I guess. So anyways, it smells really good. It looks incredible. I'm gonna add some lemon juice and then I'm pretty much done. So much later, my new garden is done. There is dirt all over my floor, so I need to clean up. I haven't moved everything over yet, but I will eventually. It's just kind of freezing outside right now. I've just been getting work done. I planned out so many solo podcast episodes and I'm actually really excited to just consistently be doing solo episodes. I'm actually about to shower and self tan. I still have like my tan leftover from the live show, which is like a week and a half ago. I'm like looking at my bum through the back, but I really, really need to scrub it off. I think it's embarrassing. And then tan again, and then I'm gonna have like a chill night at home, read, relax, whatever. And tomorrow is gonna be more fun. I have like plans and I'm actually leaving the house and you know, whatever. I'm going to Pilates. I haven't been in like two weeks. So just been doing different workouts. Here's my outfit. Okay, here's my outfit. My puffer is set active. My long sleeve is skins. I don't know where the sports ball is from. My pants are after voices, which honestly, I don't know if I'm gonna like working out on these, but they seem chill. And then I have my accent. We're about to head out. It's like 7.45 I think. I'm gonna grab coffee on the way. I know it's gonna shock everyone. I've been really on my coffee kick lately. And this morning I had a blowout and then I have like a lunch kind of meeting. It's not like a meeting kind of. I'm getting lunch with two girls that we've been meaning to do something. And they own a can, a special martini. Yeah, a can, a special martini. Why can't I, I don't know. And then I'm recording later today. And then tonight, Lori and I have read at Hudson House the letter's won because the Christmas decor is up. So it's a good day. Time to ice roll. My face has been so poppy lately. And I've watched the vlogs back and been like, why am I not ice rolling? Like, doesn't even look like me. What podcasts do y'all like drop everything to listen to? Or like our in-ear permanent rotation? Mine's World Tour's podcast. Recently Not Skinny But Not Fat. What else? Skinny Confidential. I really like Jay Shaddy, Lili. I especially, I listen to many of his guests. I don't listen to the other ones, I probably should. Oh, I also like Edmila, but I haven't been listening to him lately. I need to go back to that. I really like Edmila. He's one of those people who's like super motivational, self-development, whatever, but because he's also like emotional and also he reminds me so much of my dad that it makes me like not feel overwhelmed. Speaking of my dad, by the way, if y'all are in Dallas, he's opening a Met Spa end of this month. So get ready. Hopefully I'll have a code or something for y'all, but that is where I'll be going for literally everything. I don't even know if this is doing anything. I don't think it's cold enough. Okay, I finished my coffee so fast. My normal order, it's always on my Instagram highlight. I'm going in a hop-a-lotties. I'm really excited. Like I said, I haven't been going as much lately just because I've been weightlifting and then running. I haven't even been boxing. I've just been, you know, doing the normal stuff, but they're not the normal stuff. I've been switching up my routine, but I've been craving it the past two days. So I am going today. I'm very excited. I feel like a lot of people will be here. I feel like a holiday week and people are home. Or the opposite, you know. Every time I drink coffee, I cough. All right y'all, blowout is done. That blowout took two hours. With extensions, mine don't normally take like an hour and a half without extensions 45. If I, I mean like probably an hour. That took two hours. So I'm like 10 minutes late to lunch and I'm never late if you know me. That's like one of my like, I just am never late. So I'm just meeting these girls. So I'm like, I'm really, really sorry. I'm going to Siddles now. I'm just shocked it took that long. It never takes that long. I do like my blowout though. It's just like volumptuous, volumptuous. What do I say that word? Guys, sometimes I gotta go. Hey, I'm back from lunch. I'm wearing it the Dallas set, but my top is not the size I normally wear at the bottoms. I have a gift from a prayer hours. We went to Siddles together just now. Oh my God, wait, how cute. Guys, they're like merchant stuff is really, really cute. We have this really cute beanie. They have Candice with some martinis, by the way. They're fabulous. I love them. And then, oh my God, that looks so beautiful. Anyways, they have Candice with some martinis. Check them out. Here's my hair with the blowout. I did something different since I've just been going a lot. I actually like a straighter blowout better. I normally just get like the my tie or the cosmety just for my hair to last, but honestly, I can recurl the ends, that's fine. Just got some volume, did rollers. I don't know, it's kinda messy from the wind. I think I like it. I'm not really sure. So anyways, I need to work for the next couple of hours. And then tonight, we're going to Hudson House. It's really a Dallas day here. Guys, I don't wanna chip my own horn right now, but I might just be the funniest person on TikTok. Also, see, I like this. I just wish it would stay like this for five days. Also, I'm about to, oh my God, I'm gonna sneeze. I'm gonna sneeze, hold on. How embarrassing. Okay, this does not look good. I am about to record a podcast recording, but Dom, guys, I think that Dom is not okay these days, and I have a few reasons as to why I think that, but she confidently went on, okay, sis, and yes, I've seen no DMs about it. Yes, she so confidently went on, okay, sis, and said, oh my God, well, you know, this was the first podcast I've ever been on. This bitch had been on my show as a recurring guest for two years at that point, but I guess I mean nothing to her. So I did just make a TikTok, and then Lauren and I, I'm being really, well, we talked about this yesterday, it was funny, but I'm being really funny, and I saved the audio, so Lauren and I are going to dinner. You might actually go to Leila's before, because they DMed me and gave me a gift card. Love them. And I might even go, we're gonna, actually no, not I might, we're going to record a TikTok with the audio. So I like, maybe I do wanna be one of those strong YouTubers. Anyways, I'm going to film some end of the year podcast episodes. I know that obviously it is November 22nd as I'm recording these, but I like having them sent in and done, and I owe them all my episodes by December 13th. Awesome. I think Macy just like talked me into doing a vlogmas, 12 days of vlogmas, and I think I'm gonna do it. At first I said no, and then I was like, well, maybe. Which is basically how everything with us goes, at first I'm like, I don't know, I don't actually say no like that. Like I'm like, they're always good ideas, but it's more so just like, if I haven't done it, there's a reason, but now I'm like, you know what? No, you're right. So I'm gonna do that. I have my coffee, it's 5 p.m., got a whole night. I love my closet room, I'm supposed to be in such a good mood, but. Guys, I just recorded two solo episodes, and I loved it. Like I'm really excited to be doing more solos. I'm rushing to get ready right now because I'm meeting Lauren at Lila's now. We were just gonna do Hudson House tonight, but then Lila's DM me and they gave me a gift card. So I was like, I might as well stop by. And we're gonna be apart for like five days, and we were apart this week because she was at a wedding. So we really just have to like make up for our lost time. This is my outfit for Lila's, here we are. My Chanel bag will look cuter just because it's brown, but I might just bring the Oakhine Puff bag. Like it's actually really, really cute with it anyways. Okay, perfect. Because I wanna be my vlog camera, and I feel like I need to bring this bag with me to my vlog camera. This isn't the first from like bringing it out somewhere in Dallas. I brought it out in New York always, but I have this, my Uber's almost here. I can't tell if it's like cold enough to wear this coat. I think I'm, well it's like kinda stupid with the sweater too though. Cause I don't know how I, like look at me right now. Like what? Okay, I have to go. I will see you guys soon. Very, very, very soon. But best part about this bag is it fits my vlog camera. Hudson House guys is so beautiful. It took Lauren 30 minutes before she realized that there was Christmas decor. That's literally why we came here. It's only at the lovers location. We always get 12 oysters, and we normally get like seven different things and we're trying to not, then we have like, what are you talking about? No, we just never know what we get. I would say we normally get like seven different things. But we're trying to stop over-ordering. So we'll see how that goes. But everything here is so good. Those 12 oysters were not for sure. Besides that, we're, yeah. I said six and you said 12. We normally would get like four starters, two drinks. Like we could rack it up the eating out bills. This is Lauren's job. We're shopping within $100 dinners. Yeah, we are. There was no need. It was like a week night. Like there was literally no need. So we're not going to do that anymore, but we just made the funniest TikTok ever because Dom lied on no cases. And I had to expose her. So go follow me, can't see the text in. Guys, I have to tell you a secret. I have watched my TikTok tonight like 400 times because it's truly the funniest thing I've ever done. Dom, do you have anything to say for yourself? Didn't think so, thank you. So anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. Love you guys so much. Oh, I am doing 12 years of Vlogmas. I think I've already said that in this vlog. I had like half of a drink. And I don't know, I just feel like weird. Like I feel like I don't want to describe it. So getting out of bed, have a nice workout tomorrow, and then I'm heading home. Well, like my parents' house, which I didn't ever live up. So whatever, we had them to our parents tomorrow for Thanksgiving. So hope you guys had a great day, for having a great day. I am really, really tired. So I'll talk to you guys soon, bye. My notes app apology is coming soon. And it's actually my notes app statement. This is, I'm being silenced. The story is matching. It's like, oh, you give me all this bad energy? Like I'm gonna just bundle it back up and throw it back in a different way. And in this case, it was a letter to the IRS. Yes.
