 Hi guys, welcome to another vlog starting with from my bathroom. I've been logged a week. Um I respect also I just was not in the space to vlog. Um, I'm really I'm just working on like black eyes matter related content and all that stuff But I've missed you guys So so so much and I also just want to say that just as content kind of goes back to like quote-unquote normal That doesn't mean that like I'm not fighting them up with you guys, and I'm not like I don't have your back 3,000% so this past week has been Just like obviously really heavy especially I mean for the black community and also just for the world I've been hosting a time obviously did it up to a dog the videos up here, and I know I've mentioned it in the past Few logs. I just want to say that just as my content I'm kind of goes back to quote-unquote normal That doesn't mean that I'm like finding any less or educating myself less or anything like that I think it's also important to do a bunch of stuff off-camera. I love you guys I'm gonna continue to listen read educate myself fight for donate sign positions Basically, whatever I possibly can so I love you guys so much And I think the progress even that's just been made like it's a start, you know today was absolutely incredible I got the opportunity to kind of host a Pilates class online with they let and then we were Benefiting an organization. We're gonna do it again We're gonna switch what organization we're donating to but it's $10, and then we're having it again on Friday I think this plug probably be up later, but it's all over my Instagram and stuff Anyways, it was just so incredible like the conversation we had after the meditation and everything after the workout was just like Literally unreal also guys. I have a new hair routine once my hair is dry I will share it with you guys in the past few vlogs. I've just been talking about my hair It's been super super dry lately But I actually found some new products that I like even more that I wanted to share with you guys So we'll be talking about that too Anyways, I love you guys. I miss you guys even just not vlogging like for a few days and uploading this past week I like really really missed you guys Which is what it feels because like we're on Instagram and stuff still but like I just missed you guys Oh, yeah, so obviously we have some major house updates the main one being the fact that there are squirrels in my walls I cannot make this up. They're in this wall. I hear them I know that they're squirrels because it's during the day. They need to get taken care of and they still have yet to I keep calling people and they can't come to my house. It's not enough time like it's just literally awful So that's kind of what I've been dealing with a little bit today. Just made lunch I made home chef, which is so freaking good like it was seriously the best meal ever I'll be sharing that on my Instagram story soon. I've been editing and just getting some work done I'm so tired. Honestly. I need a 30 minute up. I don't know why I'm so exhausted Just wanted to give you guys a little book update on books I've read this past week. Honestly, I didn't read as much as I would normally read just because I was focusing on white fragility And just like watching a ton of documentaries and just things to educate myself. I finished with a crawled out thing I don't know if I mentioned that in a vlog. I liked it. I'm not as obsessed with it as everyone else's I thought it was good, but I think it's a little bit overhyped in my opinion I don't know don't come for me, please Also, I'm just not the kind of girl who wants to read about a girl in a marsh marsh either like it's just not Really my vibe, but I definitely think it was a good book. The beginning was really slow I read write fragility. That is like such an incredible book. I think everyone needs to read it I also read wish you were here Really good sad, and then I just started November 9th last night. Honestly, I hadn't read at all besides white fragility Until last night. I finished that book and then I started this one, so I'm not that far into it But yeah, those are my updates. Okay, so anyways tonight. I'm gonna go over to my cousin Alyssa's She's got a new apartment. That's even closer to me, which is awesome So we're gonna see the new place and get some food and stuff That is the plan my hair. I would like to knock it over how soft my hair is but yeah anyways I'm gonna go there. I need to head out there in like 20 30 minutes Also, I'm literally so tan. Who would have ever thought guys. It's just crazy I'm not leaving for like 30 minutes update on the squirrels the earliest We can't even get someone to get here is Monday today's Friday So if these squirrels come in and eat me in my sleep like you guys know what happened to me, okay? I'm just like No one finds this to be an emergency. It's actually unbelievable Also, besides that I wasn't gonna have like more health issues But like it feels like I'm summer zero even though I haven't been in the pool and it's like so so painful Okay, so I need to show you guys a lot of things that I've Received over the past week some of this I purchased some of this is gifting The first thing I'm gonna show is from shoplah. Haley. She did an Instagram takeover on that It'd be so much Instagram at this past week, which was awesome But first thing I got is this really cute dress. I like how there's just like the cutout You can't really see this is a cutout just a little bit and I just thought this would be super cute It's super light which is like what I need because it's so hot here And this really cute blue scrunchie which she just threw in the package and she's so nice And these are really cute like blue tie-dye socks. So I'm really excited about this. They'll look great with my Air forces. Hey first things first. I actually picked up three One of them I've already been using of the replacements of Saban illa's Luxem filter self-tanner. It's the best self-tanner ever It's gradual it's like literally I put it on tonight I'm wearing white because it doesn't get on your right clothes doesn't transfer. It's not sticky super moisturizing I've gone through this, but I've tried like every self-tanner Under the Sun and this is the best one I've ever used. I don't think I'll ever strike I love it so much that I bought three to have like as backup So the only thing I will say is I feel like I run out of it pretty quickly But it's just the best thing ever and I don't care Okay I have a bunch of stuff from Revolve Beauty that I'll quickly go through and they sent me some clothing that I picked out and then They just threw this in the package So I have an anti-pollution purifying mist this hydrate and nourish moisturizer a Dr. Brandt pour primer which I have actually and then a chlorine shampooing Like dry shampoo and then a white toothpaste this toothpaste is like really really cool looking so I'm excited to try that Okay, I have a lot of clothes from Revolve guys. Thank God. I really need to close so bad I'm following my Instagram and posting more stuff But I have these girlfriend denim shorts that I think are so cute I like how they're longer because I'm really particular about like denim shorts And I love how these are longer because I just don't like what my butt's out not even because my butt's out I just think it's not flattering this cute little bodysuit here. I could for sure be wearing a cute outfit tonight Maybe I'll change. Okay, then I have this really cute top that I'm just gonna wear It's like a mesh cover up to swimsuits or something a pair of white jeans from Superdown Superdown is a way more Affordable line on a super on Revolve and I really like a lot of their stuff. It's really great quality I got another pair of girlfriend denim jeans girlfriend is my favorite. Oh my gosh Girlfriend and girlfriend and a Goldie Goldie. Can someone please tell me how I pronounce it? These are just the best and they have a seam kind of going down the back But they're just like the best quality jeans and so for you flattering. I have a bunch from them I got this green dress, I didn't realize it had chain Strops, but this green like midi dress. I like how it's like neon and super cute thin. I think this is so Pretty I hope it's a long enough now that I'm really looking at it, but it's from Superdown It's just like beautiful. There's a little bit of lace at the top, but I just think it's so cute Okay I got this because I'm have a vision for a shoe and this is like the most beautiful dress Unreal and then you go down and there's like French at the bottom. Oh my gosh. It's so beautiful Love that more than like anything. So this is a pink dress little stripes. Just think it's super cute I have this blue mini dress that is super thin like super super soft It's gonna be the most comfortable thing ever to wear have I have so much stuff guys this pink dress Which I love it's this little baby doll dress and I just think it's gonna be so Beautiful to wear this summer. Oh my gosh. I love baby doll dresses. I have another a white little Blouse, that's just like a good staple to have another white dress, which is part of my shoot Vision that I have so that is super cute And then I have this pink dress that I believe where's it from again LPA. I think I probably should have gotten a small I got a medium, but just like amazing quality. So pretty so cute love. So that's what I have for my haul I hope you guys enjoyed. I literally cannot hear out of my right ear. So Decided to change to go to a list is just because it's like why not also These are the girlfriend jeans that I showed you and I got a size 28. I always size up in these jeans I'm normally a 27 just because they run really small, but I feel like they're a little bit big around my waist But they fit my legs. So I don't know my grandma also is a seamstress So I can get all this stuff like perfectly taken in which I think I will do anyways I think this body suit is actually from an old revolve order From super down I want to say and then I just have my air force ones on and throw my purse So this is the look and then I'll probably end up throwing my hair up because I just am so bad about actually keeping it down. Like it's very hard for me to do apparently Matalisa's new place she somehow has already literally moved in within a span of hours. I'm very confused also Confirmed. I do have summer's year call my doctor and now we're getting meds guys. My life is I'm like a mess, okay? Anyways, so cute. Look at the new place.

I'm really excited probably another calling Hoover I know it's not surprising Okay, last night I started maybe someday big calling Hoover as well big calling Hoover girl these days Um, but I'll let you guys know how I like it. I'm only like 11 percent of the way through happy Sunday everyone. Um First off, it's weird because the squirrels have been gone the past two days But they were here from like Tuesday to Friday. So I don't know if they take weekends off or what? Um, but it's like 1 p.m. I slept in a little bit and then I did a really really long morning routine and honestly I just feel like So heavy still not that like really this will ever go away I guess but Just like thinking about like where our world is at and like everyone who's hurting it's just like I don't know. I'm just like not in the best mood right now um, but I'm trying to like go do something because I feel like I really need to Recharge and I feel like this past week. I was like so Learning educating doing all of this stuff But like I was barely even doing my divos like I just wasn't like taking care of myself at all Which I don't think is good for anyone like I I feel like I can't really Help with anything if like I'm not in a good place not obviously this is not about me But you know what I mean? I feel like just for anyone like you can't really help if you're not in a good place Look at her right now. She's seriously. Oh my gosh. She's like my best friend ever. I love you Coco you were my best decision ever So with that being said, I think I'm gonna try to have um a recharging day That's what I was trying to do this weekend. Um, and I feel like this morning It just like really hit me and I'm just like, oh my gosh. Yeah, so that's where we're at I'm just hanging out with good ol cocoa. Oh my gosh. You're so cute guys I got a package from b golden which I was actually looking at it and it seems like a perfect thing for me And I just accidentally mess that up. Okay So basically it's just gold coffee pouches. They roast their beans at lower temperatures So then it has like a smooth gold coffee. So it drinks more like a tea But it's like regular coffee. So really exciting. Um, I'm not gonna make this notice that I already have coffee But I'm really excited. I would definitely be like sharing this in a vlog So I think it's really interesting especially because lately I've been saying that coffee feels too heavy But I need the caffeine, you know, so anyways also love the mug Okay, so I'm still not feeling my best, but I do have Texas peaches and trying to just, you know, be healthy if you well I'm just playing some music. I FaceTime like three friends. No one answered, but it's fine. I'm fine Um, my cousin Alyssa is called and I think she's actually gonna come pick me up at like Two or three and we're gonna go get like a smoothie or something somewhere because that sounds so good It is so hot guys Like I tried my best to go on the rooftop and read and do my diva up there and like I just like couldn't make it Anyways, I'm including this portion because I feel like maybe I even have something scariest today. Like I don't really know what's up Um, like I don't know. I just am like not feeling my absolute best. On a brighter note I was actually thinking this morning and I've been pretty bad about my gratitude journal too I've been pretty bad about like everything as far as self-care lately and just like My not really my routine. I think I don't want my routine, but like self-care Um, and I was just thinking especially last night when I was like with my friends that I've been friends with since That was like 10 And how this house and like being back in texas is like such an entered prayer that like I had no idea It would be because obviously I wasn't like praying specifically to move back to texas for the longest time Even though I love texas It's like having all those relationships And I have a home where I feel so comfy and like the best location that I could ever ask for like My family lives so close to me. It's just like the relationships that I have in the community and the life that I have here I'm so grateful for it. I love my life in la too. I just feel like I don't know. I do feel just like very fulfilled I don't really know how to describe it because I don't even mean the house as like a materialistic thing Like obviously this place is like above and beyond what I could have ever imagined to like live in and have at 22 Like I'm so grateful for that. But I think way more so it's the fact that my family is so close I have all these friendships and relationships with like all these people growing up that I love that I didn't think I would like be able to see as regularly as like I'll be able to now Which those people like mean literally the world to me And just like so many things. I don't know. I feel like I just like this house and like being here's a good constant reminder If like I cannot believe that this is my life and I'm so grateful Um for it and just I don't know So I think I've just been thinking a lot about gratitude as well and how like I Don't feel like I even deserve the life that I have. I don't know. I'm just like so grateful in this house In the least materialistic way possible is like the biggest Like answered prayer for me and like what it what this house really needs and like symbolizes for me I don't know how to describe it. So that's one good thing. Um, I'm gonna call Alyssa back because she facetimed me We're at foxtrot guys ignore my nails. We got a chicken biscuit and avocado toast to split It is so cute All right guys, I'm back from Alyssa's. Um, we stopped at foxtrot I don't know why I'm talking so weird and it was so good Tonight Liz and I are actually going to go to dinner. I know it's a really crazy time here. This has been Open since I think like a May 1st or something. Um, we're about to be in phase three um, so this has been Like an option for like well over a month. Um, it's crazy for me because I get really scared of everything And so I sort of leave my house for the next month So now that um, I have it's just like really a big step for me, you know Anyways, we're gonna go Eat at parody.
