 That's what we're talking about baby Hello, you guys welcome to another video. It is currently 1240 and it is Tuesday. I'm starting this the week kind of like a little late So I just got some morning editing done and I just got ready for the day and I just got like a few errands to run So I don't know if you guys have been like watching my vlogs I don't know if I've even mentioned this but I really need to find a matcha powder Like I went to five different grocery stores throughout the past few weeks and they haven't had matcha powder at any of them Like literally the only thing that I found was like this matcha powder and it was by like Tently like that tea brand and like I bought it and it ended up being just like matcha with green tea and like tea bags So it was not what I wanted and I'm like, oh my god. Are you kidding me? I was so excited that I finally found it, but I did it Um, so I just called one of my like local whole food store and they said that they had it And I'm like bless you I don't know why I did not think of this earlier like that should have been the first place that I went So I'm gonna go run out and get that today and I also need a return. It's downstairs But I got this screen protector from London drugs because I got a new phone and it was $30 Okay, $30 for a screen protector, which like I was fine with paying I was like whatever and then I get home and then I tell my brother and I'm like, oh, I got a screen protector He's like, why did you get one? Like I got one for you And I was like, what do you mean? He's like I ordered like a pack of three on Amazon for $10 And I'm like what I paid $30 for mine. I mean, it's probably better quality, but they're both glass screen protectors So in the end, I don't really care. So I gotta return that so this is the fit for today I just throw on some jeans. These are thrifted and then this tank top from Sheehan. It's really cute The weather has been literally Absolutely gorgeous. It's kind of hot today Like we were on a morning walk and I started sweating like I had to like shed my jacket and literally take my jackets off Because I was so hot like it's literally such beautiful weather this week. So I'm so grateful for that So honestly, I don't even know if I'm gonna need to sweater with this like this just might be it Yeah, so I'm gonna do some errands and bring y'all along for the day. I'm literally currently obsessed with With this bandana that I got from Amazon Okay, you probably saw I wore it and like I think it was like my previous video I wanted my previous videos this bandana is so Freaking cute and I wanted to wear it with this outfit, but like I don't want to wear it too often You know what I mean? Like I don't want to get sick of it So I'm like, you know, I'll save it for like next week and I really want to order more colors I got it off Amazon and I think it was only like $12 including shipping and everything Amazon prime I'll link it down below if I can find it Yeah, but I definitely want to get like a whole bunch of more colors for this summer because I want to be living in Bandanas and you can also like wear this as a shirt like dead ass I was watching this video and this girl was like because look at how big it is see so you can like tie it Some way like this and make it into a cute ass shirt So I'm gonna have to play around with that But I definitely want to get like at least 10 of these for the summer like in cute different patterns and colors But yeah, I'll leave this one down below for you guys Look at how pretty my cat is she is so beautiful And there's this spot in my sister's room right here where like the sun comes in from the window And it hits the floor and she loves to sunbathe in this spot Like usually she'll be laying like in the sun right here, but she probably got a little hot and she's so adorable I love her so much. I'm literally obsessed with her. Oh my goodness Rishi say hi Say hi, she's so pretty You're so pretty and you guys I just discovered that So basically my sister bought this brown dry shampoo so it's people with dark hair you guys this is evolutionary I don't know if this was like out for a while or if we're just dumb and haven't discovered it But it doesn't leave a white cast in your hair because it's for brown hair or black hair And it's the best thing ever because whenever I use dry shampoo Like it's so hard to get all of the white out because it's like so white The only thing that I realized is like when I sprayed it and then like try to mix it in with my hands It kind of like got everywhere and you had to like wipe shit off You don't say because it's like colored from so just be careful of that But other than that like it looks great No white cast at all or I don't know if white cast is the right word But no white remainder is left in my hair. Yeah, I actually think we're gonna head out now soon I'm not supposed to go like a while ago, but I'm just waiting for Joel Also, I just added this little cardigan because it is kind of like breezy outside So I didn't want to be too cold So I'm literally gonna bronze up my neck like this because I just can't take it You know when you're getting really pale when your winter makeup barely matches your face anymore. It's too dark Now that is a warning sign Okay, okay, so we just got to London drugs and it's pretty much London drugs if you guys don't know what it is It's like a drugstore drugstore. Yeah, like a pharmacy drugstore And this is the screen protector that I got that I'm returning It was like I just got like the cheapest glass when there was but since it was less than $10 on Amazon Nothing can compare so let's go and return it. Okay, so I just returned the screen protector and oh My god, you guys will not believe this. Okay, so when I was showing you guys a screen protector like in here after shut off The camera I like made sure that the receipt was in the bag So I like went in the bag and I looked at the receipt and I was like great It's in here put it back in the bag. We walked outside We walked into the store and then I go to return it and I'm like holy shit the receipt is gone Like where the hell did it go? I was just holding it and then I'm like, oh shit. I come back I look in the car. I look I like retrace my steps and I can't find the damn receipt So they're like, okay, the best we can do is give you a gift card. So it's like well I guess I guess that's what I'm gonna have to settle for it's like whatever So they bring me up a gift card then means you'll come back to the car and guess what we find the receipt Is like behind the car like beside the other car because it's very windy So obviously it blew away and we find the receipts are like holy shit Did we really just go through all of that? So we went back in and then we got our money back with the original receipt But holy crap that was literally like half an hour that we just spent in and out of that store trying to find The receipt and returning it but I'm glad we ended up finding it. I was literally like shook I was like I was just holding this where the hell could it have gone from here to inside the store Like I was sure I put it back in the bag and I did and it flew away And it was so awkward because the guy there was so rude to us like for no reason. He's like he's like you know the receipt I can't return it. Yeah, then he's all of a sudden. He's returning it. Yeah. Yeah, we come back He's like no, it's done. You cannot get it back and then all of a sudden he started doing it Yeah, he kept telling us that he can't do something and then he proceeds to go and do it Two minutes ago you said you you couldn't do that and you just did it so and he was he was just so rude And I'm like bitch. I don't need your negative energy So I bought this green protector two days ago And I was like, oh, I just bought this and I just literally lost the receipt then and then he's like when did you buy it? And I was like oh like two days ago. He's like you said you just bought it I was like, yeah, like two days ago and then he's like if you just bought it You would have bought just bought it now today And I was like, okay, like every obviously everyone has a different definition of I just what I just bought it means like holy shit He was literally so feisty. I'm like, right what what side of the bed did you wake up on today? But we choose positivity today. Okay? Finally got our long awaited matcha everyone I won a round of applause because it has taken me like three weeks to find them Here we go. Here's our holy grail beautiful matcha baby. This is like my favorite store ever It's like a whole food store. So good Okay, so it is currently 442 and I'm gonna show you guys how to make my long-awaited matcha recipe So it's pretty much the same thing as my coffee recipe to be honest But just kind of using matcha instead of an espresso shot. So let's open up also I had no idea how expensive matcha is. I thought it was gonna be like $10, but this whole thing was like almost $50 Okay, so now that that explosive mess is cleaned up or fine. That was kind of a little bit unexpected Okay, so what I just did is I took my matcha powder and I took one teaspoon and I put her in a little jar here One teaspoon is equivalent to like the amount of caffeine that you'd get from a cup of coffee And which is two grams of matcha which equals to one teaspoon So one teaspoon is what I put and that's like the normal amount Okay, so now what I'm gonna go do is I'm gonna fill this with hot water just up until like here Literally just like a few tablespoons of hot water just to melt the matcha because you need to melt it if that makes sense I don't know why cuz it's like powdery. So you need to melt it I'm gonna take hot water and put it like up to here literally a few tablespoons and melt the matcha Okay, so now so you can see the water is very hot and I just put literally that much I'm gonna just stir that in. I know they make like these special matcha whisker things I want to try eventually, but just mixing up with a spoon will do the job for now You need to do this hot water first so because if you don't put it in hot water Then it will like clump up in your milk like it'll be disgusting. It won't mix properly So the hot water is necessary. All right, that seems pretty well mixed I might have overmix that which is fine because I just hate when it's like clumpy because if you don't mix it enough Then it will be clumpy and that's what you do not want you want to avoid the clumps Okay, so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna fill this with ice and I'll be right back So now as you can see I fill this with ice and we're gonna add oat milk into it This is my favorite oat milk. This is my liquid crack. Just gonna fill that all the way up get a straw. Oh My god, I'm actually so dumb. I forgot to sweeten it. Okay, we can add it now But okay, usually I would sweeten it. You know what I was mixing the hot water with the matcha I usually add put the maple syrup in there like mix it in with that But I totally forgot how did I forget? That's the most important part. Okay, so I'll just add the maple syrup now So I'm gonna put like a teaspoon of maple syrup in here. Just mix that in. It's not gonna be as mixed and nice Looks like I need another teaspoon That's what we're talking about, baby. This is literally amazing So freaking good and you guys have to make it with this oat milk like this oat milk is a game changer Let me tell you once you try it. You'll never be able to stop. Okay We I bought like 90 of these at once and ran out in a week. I missed matcha so much. This is amazing But yeah, that's my matcha recipe. It's just so freaking good. Go try this right now. Do you guys want some here? Take a sip. Also, if you guys are curious, I'm gonna show you guys the bag right here So you guys can see this is the matcha that I just used I used to use a different one But I feel like they're all pretty much the same thing But this one does look really good kind of superior to the other one that I had They used to have it at Costco when I'm gone at the first of my Costco But I had to get this from my like whole food store. I also bought these flowers for myself Look at how cute they are. The yellow is just so beautiful. I love spring flowers. Like when spring hits I just like want to go and buy some flowers Like when I get my own house one day for my own apartment or whatever I definitely want to buy like flowers every so often like when they die I want to get more because they're just so beautiful and they just like scream summer in spring Okay, so we're just here watching the sunset. We're at a bit of a different spa We're on a park bench right now and we came here when we first started dating. I'm pretty sure we came here with Madison It was a long time ago a lot like probably in our first year of dating like three years ago We came here together and I don't think we've been here together ever since maybe like once But it's such a beautiful spot here, especially to watch the sunset. I'm sorry for the lighting. It's a little wonky I'm trying to like not make it shady, but yeah So I just wanted to do a little bit segment of moments with Michaela and we have Joel here again take it off I think the topic for today We were thinking about talking about the word how and how the word how gets in the way a lot of the time Like if you have a goal and you want to achieve it a lot of times the first question says well How are you going to do that? But if you think back to your previous life experiences and you predicted You know how something would have came into your life before that the way you predicted everything would work out Isn't exactly how it ended up working out most of the time I find Let's say you wanted a brand new phone and then you ask yourself. Well, how am I going to get this brand new phone? I don't have a job. I'm just a kid blah blah blah blah blah Maybe that was what your thought process was and at the end of the day You ended up still getting that phone because maybe your grandparents bought it for you Even after your parents told you they uh, they wouldn't buy it for you What I'm trying to say is that when you're trying to achieve your goals Maybe asking the question how isn't always the best way to go about it because that question can be very discouraging sometimes And it can and it can make you not want to do something because you're always wondering that question Well, how is this going to happen? And it also like gets in your head like if if you keep asking yourself how people keep keep asking you like Oh, how then you're going to get into your head and you're going to be like, oh my god How am I going to do that? What's going to happen? How am I going to get this? How am I really going to do that realistically speaking? How how am I going to how am I even going to achieve this goal? And then it like it puts such like it puts fear into your mind I feel like and it puts um exactly doubt in your mind because you're just keep you keep asking how so we feel like Asking the question how like how are you going to do that? It does nothing but discourage you because most of the times when you answer that question If you can answer the question how even if you can it's probably not going to end up happening through that one stream It's like people get so focused on There's only one way this thing can happen to me and that's it There's no point in asking how because nobody knows how Yeah, it's like if you set a goal for yourself to to have a successful business and if that's your goal It's almost like okay Of course you need to work at it and you need to work hard at it And you need to kind of give yourself a game plan and maybe a schedule But at the same time it's like people dwell on the how and then they get into their heads and then it discourages them That that oh, how can I ever become a successful business owner? How can my how can my business out of everyone else's business do do good? And it's like sometimes you just got to shut your brain up and stop asking how and just do it like just Do it and that is it don't think about it Just start doing it and then things will flow for you and you won't be scared You won't have that fear of how you're going to do it I think the uh the overall message for the day is um don't ask how and just do it because nobody knows how There's so many reasons not to do something like I can name a thousand reasons Why should I be posting youtube videos and stuff like that like I like you you can name a thousand reasons But you can also name a thousand other reasons why you should do something and why you should just go for it It's like if you focus on the fear of something if you focus on the negative outcomes that could occur Then you're not going to be successful because you're almost like manifesting it to go wrong You know what I mean? Yeah, it's like you saying like oh, how can I ever do that? It's like you're literally manifesting that you're not going to be able to do it because You don't put yourself in the shoes of being worthy enough to do that So yeah, that's our little TED talk of the day It's like don't ask how if you feel a goal if you have something you want to do in life Don't ask how just manifest it and just put work towards it if you can and it'll come to you Eventually there's normal to at first have doubt within yourself because I used to have so much doubt within myself And I didn't used to be as confident and I would always ask the question like oh How am I going to do that and I'll get discouraged and it's just like a bad path that you do not want to go down It's never too late to change your attitude in your mindset and once I did that it's like it's less stressful And it's just like you're trusting yourself. That's what's going to end up getting you that success The word how is literally a roadblock. Okay, like you're putting if you say how it's putting a roadblock in front of yourself Just know whatever you want to do. You can do it. Don't ask how don't ask why don't ask where just do it Do it just freaking go for it and do it Okay, this is your sign to do whatever you've been wanting to do go follow your dream Go do it go do that because you have the potential that's inside of you. It's all in you You just got to release it you hold power within yourself Yeah, I think it's important to just you know have no worries in life because if you really think back on your experience Like when you worry about something how often does that worry actually come to fruition? Not very often so cut out the worries because there's no need to do all that You're just wasting your brain power and just relax chill and if something happens that you need to worry about Deal with it in the moment Deal with your problems in the moment and don't think in the future or the past because none of those things exist It's also like it also ties in to living in the in the present Yeah, like if you ask how you're always focusing on the future and what the outcome is going to be Here's the quote. I just made this up. Okay, don't ask how ask now That's good that rhymes too When you want to ask how live in the now That's so wow like or something like I would clap right now, but I'm holding the camera with one That's that's the message for the day folk. We love you all remember that one. We love you all Anyways, we're just gonna finish watching the sunset. It's like kind of almost done now But yeah, I love these little segments moments with mcgayla This is just like if I didn't start putting this in my videos my videos would not have as much purpose You know so I do want to share like my wisdom with you guys and Hopefully help at least one person watching this. I don't want to post like mindless content I want to do something different and try to make a change and just help, you know I'm no psychiatrist or anything like that But like just talking based off of my experiences and everything I just want to try and help anyone really who wants to listen Yeah, I just hope I inspire you guys somehow through my videos because that would mean the world to me if I did Hey guys, so it is currently like 10 o'clock ish We came back from watching the sunset ate some dinner and I think like I came to the conclusion that I want to be Not in vegan, but my brother's girlfriend a nico I was telling her how I wanted to go vegan But I don't want to put a label on it because like I don't want to restrict myself like too much, you know So she's like why don't you just be vegan inspired and I'm like that's such a good Term to use, you know because it's not really labeling yourself, but it's like being vegan inspired is completely different I feel like um, so me and Joel kind of want to do this together I have avoided dairy in the past and gluten in the past eggs and stuff like that So I've avoided like all that stuff before and it honestly gives me the best results Especially for my eczema. I notice a huge difference and just honestly the way I feel it makes me feel so much better because I've just been Stocking I've been eating cheese. I've been eating eggs and everything and not that that's bad at all like everything in moderation But it's just like for my personal body and for my personal health. I feel like being vegan inspired is the best thing for me Um, I really want to get my health like back on track because I've noticed my eczema has been getting a little bit worse And yeah, eczema has been something that I had Have been struggling with since I was young I used to have like it way worse and then as I got older I got better And then now I'm noticing it kind of coming back a little bit again So I need to nip it in the bite and I really just want to make it gone because eczema is not fun And I do not want to use any creams anymore. I don't want to use any anti biota creams I don't want to use any steroid creams because my mom has a horrific terrible terrifying Experience with them that she's going through right now So that's like very scary to me and it's like I do not want to Use those creams at all like I'm trying to stay away from them So I want to heal myself from the inside out because it's so true Like I am a firm believer that like what you put in your body is going to reflect like out like on your skin and everything And I believe that you if you want to heal yourself the best way to do it is inside out because I feel like using steroid creams Is just kind of putting a band-aid on the problem. It's not getting rid of your eczema It's just putting a band-aid on it like it's going to come back I got prescribed a cream like last year that I went in for and I put it on and it's like Okay, it went away for like a few days, but then my eczema was coming back It's like I didn't want my skin to get dependent on that cream because I don't want to keep using that cream forever And then I can get side effects like my mom has right now So yeah, so I really want to try and go the natural route and go vegan inspired for I don't know how long I'm not going to set a time limit on it. I'm just going to start I feel like we're here to hold each other accountable You know So we can help each other stay in line because it's honestly really hard to like have that self motivation Sometimes especially when you live in a house where everyone is eating those things I heard this quote today or I saw this quote today And it was like it takes motivation to get started and determination to keep going. Yeah So we got to have dedication determination because I got the motivation right now But yeah, I'm really one of my mind to this and do it I'm just gonna do it not think about how we're just gonna do it And yeah, so anyway, that was the end of today's vlog I really hope you guys enjoyed it and thank you guys so much for watching Especially up until this point like if you're watching up until this point, I literally love you I love you guys so much and I will see you guys in my next video Have a great beautiful wonderful day evening nights whatever stage of the day that you're in Never ask how people if you ask how start living in the now Yes, you're asking how you're not living in the now And if you're not living in the now then you're gonna look like a cow then you're gonna have to bow Then you're gonna be wiping this wet off your brow. Love you guys so much. See you in my next video. Peace out Sunshine on a rainy day
