 Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali. Welcome to my channel if you guys are new. Today, I'm just vlogging my day. It could turn into a weekend in my life, or if I get enough footage for today, it'll be its own vlog. I honestly haven't vlogged in a really long time because I think it was last weekend, or like the weekend before that. I broke my camera. I don't like to talk about it because every time like I damage something, I just like want to forget that it ever happened. I mean, I know it like obviously I had to buy a new camera and like, you know, that sucked, like trust me, it really really sucked. But I don't want to just like think about it and like harp on it because you can't really change what's happened, I guess. You could just be more cautious in the future. I live in Austin, Texas, so I was on South Congress, which is like a street full of like stores and restaurants and all that. And I went to this place called, I want to say it's called Aviation, or something like that. It was a clothing brand store. And they have a rooftop where you can overlook South Congress. And so we went up there and I was setting up my camera because I brought my mini tripod and my like little phone stand. I was setting that up so me and Ryan could take a photo, like a self timer photo. And I basically had a really small purse that day and I like stuck my vlogging camera in it. So my purse wasn't zipped all the way and my camera pretty much like fell over and made my bag like topple over. And this rooftop has like holes in this deck, like on the sides of it. And my camera literally toppled over and fell through the freaking hole and literally just caused a whole scene. Not a big one, but there were people that like stopped and like were like, what the hell just fell from the sky. And I'm honestly so thankful. I didn't even think about this in the moment. But like after the fact, I was like, holy crap, like it could have fallen on someone's head and that would have been a hundred times worse. So thank God that did not happen. But yeah, update. I'm like really bad at just like keeping my technology alive for some reason. And I need to get better about that because it's costing me a frick ton of money and it's not okay because I literally can't save my money because shit just keeps happening. And honestly, yeah, it's probably my fault. So I just need to be better. But anyways, so that's a little update. So work is going good. I feel like it's not overwhelming. But the only thing is that I am trying to like adapt to these new hours that I'm working solely for this company. So I have to do all my other work like after or like on the weekends. And so I don't have like all the time in the world to like do YouTube videos and edit them. And then I also have my freelance gigs on top of that. And so first comes work and then those freelance gigs and then my YouTube channel and then I have to have time to breathe. So I hope you guys understand. I'm really trying to like fix my schedule and just like make sure I have time here and there to like like put forth my effort on YouTube because I want to make it happen. Trust me. I like love YouTube. I love making videos. I love vlogging. So it's going to happen. It's just going to take me a little bit of time to just like feel it out and like, you know, stay balanced while I do it. It is 10 a.m. and I actually have to go pick up a check from the event planning company. I'm so excited to be shooting a couple of events for South by Southwest. I literally manifested the shit like I wrote it down. I want to do so bad because I haven't ever been to South by Southwest and I thought first of all that would be like a little in which I didn't have to pay for. Second of all, like I would be literally photographing things at South by Southwest. That would be so cool and so good for like my portfolio. So yeah, I'm doing it and I'm so excited. South by Southwest is coming up so soon and I'm so excited because I actually got invited to like a couple of blogger events too. And I don't know, that's really exciting because they're really cool ones. Today I have to clean up this pigsty of a mess. After I get this check, I kind of want to go to Twin Lickers and check it out because they have a dollar sale and apparently they just mark down the alcohol as low as they can go and then add a dollar to it. So I'm just like curious to see how cheap the alcohol actually is and we really need to like restock on our alcohol because I don't know, I think we have like this much of like rum left and like a Tito's handle. But honestly, like I could probably go for another Tito's handle because does alcohol expire? I feel like it doesn't. This might be a dumb question, but I feel like it doesn't. So I feel like it would be smart to restock on staples, especially while they're cheap. So I kind of want to go check it out, but I might wait for Ryan to get out of work and then go with him. So I don't know, we'll see. I just got out of Twin Lickers and I got three bottles of alcohol and then one like pina colada mixer because I've just like been craving going to the beach and drinking a freaking pina colada. So I'm like, I can't go to the beach right now because I literally don't have one for a week and open, but I can drink a pina colada. So that's what I'm going to do tonight. And I bought these pineapples from AGB and they're literally going bad by the second. So hopefully I can like make a pina colada and use them for something. I will show you guys exactly what I got when I get home. I'm going to clean out my car next. I was literally just telling Ryan like it's so nice to have this Friday. Like I feel like I never really appreciated Fridays because I didn't have like a job, which yes, it is part time, but I still like do other stuff after I get done working for my new job. If that makes sense. But anyways, basically I just feel like I appreciate this Friday so much more because I have so many errands that I can do. I'm going to clean out my car next. I'm going to like park right next to my dumpster at my apartment and literally just clean out my car because I don't know if you can tell. But like my seat in the back is down because Ryan used my car to like transport my bike to get fixed and like to ride and stuff. So I haven't put it back up since that and it's been so long since it's just been like a mess back there. So today is the day. I'm going to clean out my freaking car and it's just going to be like a good feeling because it's honestly been on my to-do list for a really long time. So I just got to the dumpster. So it is time to take care of this freaking mess. I can't believe it got this bad honestly. This is my Georgia's license plate. Getting rid of that. Alright, so now it is time to show you guys what I got. So first one. This is floor day Kanya and this is just rum. He said it was like a dry rum. I don't really understand what that means but basically he said it's not like a sweet rum and I was like about to just get Malbu because that's literally all I know. And I asked him what rum goes in a pina colada and he was just like well you don't really need the Malbu rum because it will already have like a coconutty taste like in the mixer. So I didn't get the Malbu but actually that was cheaper than the Malbu so ended up working out. But then I got some pina colada mix. Next I got some tequila. I used to be like a big tequila drinker because well not like I drink it every day but like when I went out in college I would just take like a few tequila shots and it would get me like at my perfect drunk state. And I never really like stuck with one brand. I would just kind of get like whatever is kind of cheap and like whatever they recommend. So this guy recommended this. It is the tequila El Mayor. And he basically kind of described it to be like smooth and like something about like a vanilla taste. So I was like that sounds cool so I'm going to try that one. And then I got vodka and this is my last thing but I actually wanted to try out the deep Eddie's vodka. And I already do have like a handle of Tito's and it's pretty full but I just thought I would like stock up because you can never like have enough. Like I said alcohol doesn't go bad I think. So this will last me for a very long time and like if I want to have people over then I won't be like super stingy about my alcohol because I'll have more of it to share. But I wanted to try deep Eddie's because I've already tried Tito's. Both of these alcohols are actually made here in Austin Texas so I thought that was really cool. And this one was a little bit cheaper than Tito's which the Tito's wasn't even on sale. Like that was like I swear the only freaking bottle in that whole store that was not on sale and I was just like why? I bet they know that they can like easily sell those any day so they probably didn't mark them down. But yeah so I'm going to try this deep Eddie's vodka. I'm probably not even going to open it until I like finish that Tito's but that will be up next. And yeah I'm really excited. I have like pineapples I think I told you guys this but I have pineapples that I bought at HEB and they're literally going bad. So hopefully I can make use of them tonight when I make a pina colada. My next task is to clean this whole house and start a load of laundry. I think I'm going to like do towels and just kind of slowly start to do laundry because we are running out of towels. So I'm going to spare you all and not show a cleaning montage just because I literally just need to focus on cleaning this house. And I don't really want to worry about vlogging it. So I'm going to clean the house. Let's do this. No judging here but this is what it looks like right now. Shoes everywhere. I mean it's pretty much like my mess. Pretty. Oh hi Sophie. Pretty bad. And then obviously I need to make my bed. And yeah it's just a freaking mess and I don't even want to show you the guest room because that's like my beauty room and like where I get dressed. Well you can see a little bit but alright I'm going to go get to work. So I was not expecting Ryan to come home for lunch because usually on Fridays he eats out with his co-workers or I don't know today he got a haircut but I didn't expect you to actually come home. How did you get the haircut that fast that you had time to come home? I have tea sis. Oh. BRB. It's currently 1pm and I had a bowl of cereal for lunch because we haven't gone grocery shopping so we don't really have like that much to eat but I also just popped myself some popcorn because the cereal like wasn't satisfying enough. So I'm going to eat that while I do some content creation for my own Instagram. I'm going to be taking pictures in all my shop moody jewelry. I just got done shooting content and I'm just vlogging on my iPhone because I really don't feel like getting up off the couch. But now I'm going to respond to some emails about collaborations and then also I like reached out to two people on Instagram about collaborations so I need to email them my media kit and I also have like a lot of photos to edit. I also need to finish up my first wedding gallery and another freelance gig. So got a lot of work to do. Got to edit my own pics. I think Ryan's going to come home early not sure yet but I do want to go to this one happy hour. This is like restaurant. By the way these earrings are from shop moody. They're like cute little star dangling earrings. Super cute. So it is 5 p.m. and I actually spent so much time just emailing brands back and I reached out to this one brand so I had to do like this whole proposal thing and then my word literally froze on me so it didn't save. I saved it and like then it said it was like zero bytes and I was like what the heck. So I went back and it was like frozen. I was like great. So I had to do that all over again and I did it in docs. It's time like Google docs so it could like auto save and I wouldn't lose it. I usually don't even trust word. I don't know why I pulled word up but it's because I had to like export it but I remembered that you can actually export word doc from Google docs. Anyways Ryan just got home and he actually went to the twin liquor sale right after work. Babe you literally have a twin liquors tag right on your back. Turn your $39.34. I don't even think I've logged and said where we were going before we went to dinner but we were gonna go to this other place and then I found out the happy hour ended. So we went to Anthem on rainy street. We just had happy hour bites and margaritas so that was really good and now we are gonna just chill maybe drink some more. I kind of want a pina colada so I might make that. We'll see. Good morning y'all. It is Saturday. We ended up not going out last night. So like after I filmed that clip I literally just crashed on the couch. But today I'm going to a morning toast meetup at Central Market. So it should be really fun. I'm excited to like meet more girls. And then after that I'm filming something for Katie Texas. I'm actually doing the recruitment video if I didn't mention that before and I'm really excited about it. So I have all my camera equipment and then in case like this podcast meetup like doesn't run all the way till one I have my computer and stuff so I can stop somewhere to work for like 30 minutes or something. Today it's supposed to get up to 75 degrees. So super hyped. I have this sweatshirt on because it's like 66 and it's like really nice out right now. But I feel like I would definitely be like a little chilly in my short sleeve shirt. I haven't eaten anything yet. So I'm hoping that other girls are eating like at the podcast meetup because I think they have like they probably do have like pastries and stuff like that that I can just grab and go. Podcast meetup went well. I think that there was 30 people that said they were going to go and literally only four people included me showed up but it ended up being really nice and I got to meet new people which is always great. And then I went to go film at Capedalta and it was pretty quick. I just had to get a few clips just to you know show the range of like what they do in their recruitment video but now I got a very exciting package basically for my new job. If you guys didn't know I just started my new job as a content creator for a student housing company and basically I'm going to be doing their social media corporate social media and also doing photography and videography for their sites. So I am going to be using majority of my equipment but I did ask for one thing because I think this would be very helpful when I'm creating content for other sites and that is the Mavic 2 Pro. So my dad actually gave me his drone and it was the Phantom 4 but it is like a little bit harder I would say like a lot harder to fly honestly I really don't know because I've never flown a drone on my own but I just thought that this would be perfect because the Phantom 4 is kind of massive it's a very chunky drone and it needs like its own backpack this one is apparently super easy to fly and super tiny this is so exciting So this is what it looks like and this is like my hand just for a size comparison so it's supposed to be like super tiny to fit kind of in your hand My main priority this week is to try to learn how to fly this thing and I'm honestly very nervous because first of all it's not my drone like obviously the company owns it I really just don't want to break it I don't want to be liable for any damages that happen to it but apparently like it has like a ton of sensors all over it so it's really hard to actually like bump into things because it will like stop itself and then this is the little remote it literally reminds me of a GameCube or something so funny but these like pop out and you actually put your phone right here see if there's a screen and you can like see where it's flying and stuff and then yeah look at this look at this look it doesn't look like it last night I was not feeling too good like I went to sleep with a really really dry throat and I woke up literally every hour and drank so much water and like I took a Claritin this morning which definitely made me feel a little bit better but it's not all the way better and it just makes me sad that I'm not feeling the best especially with this weather being so nice so I'm trying to pull it together and get out of my house because I know the weather is not like this all the time so I definitely want to take advantage but I could definitely go for like a nap or something right now I watched a few videos on it already just to know like what I need to do setting up and stuff but overall I still don't really know how to fly it we are out here we're gonna fly this drone please send prayers I'm really nervous we're doing it on Ryan's phone because my phone is low on battery but we're about to fly it it seemed a lot easier than I thought it would be so hopefully fingers crossed everything is good to go calibrate calm fist calm fist now flip it on the side do it again so it was hello Wendy in this clip so I'm gonna spare you guys the wind noise but basically I said that we lived seven minutes away from the airport and actually on the map you can get this app where it tells you where you can and can't fly drones and unfortunately we live in an area that you can't fly drones so we went to Vic Matheus Park and we are gonna fly the drone here alright try it on Alex this is the prettiest place to fly a drone oh what the heck I'm gonna fly the drone last time I like gave it to Ryan oh no last time I landed it because I was so freaking scared oh my god oh my god oh shit this is so cool it's high it's really high I'm gonna record it is so pretty it is so pretty my back is all tense and shit what's low battery this remote aircraft is returning home minimum it's coming wait this is so cool where is it amazing we dropped Sophie off at home and now we are gonna go eat some bow at this place called Bowed Up and I just saw this on my yelp and I actually saved it on my yelp a while ago so we are gonna get some bow and I just saw that BJ's was right across the street and that just makes me think of college those late night Pizookies and I really wanted Pizookies but yeah my friends and I would go get freaking Pizookies and they were so good if you guys don't know what a Pizookie is it is a cookie and a skillet so it's like a giant cookie with ice cream on top and it's warm and gooey are you craving one yet good morning y'all it is Sunday and it's almost 10am I am going to brunch with some of my friends at 11.30 and we are going to Hanks and I've been to Hanks coffee shop and it's so cute but the restaurant itself is so beautiful so I really want to dress cute and take some pictures hopefully I do have some time to spare and I've literally gone like more than a week without posting on my youtube channel and it's not like I don't have videos to put out I've been kind of procrastinating putting out my work week in my life because I wanted to create an intro that would be like consistent throughout that series I guess and obviously I want to put in my effort and time so hopefully I can get that done within like an hour I'm going to look on Pinterest for inspiration of like if I wanted to do like graphic or just like a little title card or something like that and see what we can come up with so I'm in the beginning stages of getting sick this kind of happened on like Friday to Saturday and last night it was like really bad my throat was just so dry and then Ryan was like how about you drink some like honey and lemon water I was like why didn't I think of that earlier because it is so good it like is helping so much so I'm drinking this right now again and I got my little Keep Austin weird mug we literally bought this I swear I think it was like our first day coming to Austin really good gift shop downtown on 6th street I think it's called trading company something like that and we got this mug and I got like a little ornament it was so cute so I'm going to try to make this time efficient work on that intro and get shit done last night I actually ordered something on Amazon and it was a big like investment into my business and I guess I wanted to tell you guys what it is because I've been hearing a lot about them I don't really understand like exactly what the difference is between a hard drive and this thing which is called a solid state drive so if you guys know in the comments down below please let me know but basically what I've heard is that like hard drives corrupt like easier than solid state drives I don't know why I don't know how but I bought this like super mini solid state drive it was definitely a good chunk of my money and it sucked paying for it but honestly I got this computer I think in December it had like the last two terabytes on it but I don't want to always store like all the projects like my past projects on this computer I want to move it over to a hard drive if I can so I've been kind of putting off like buying a new hard drive so I kind of just bit the bullet and did it last night what really inspired me to buy a solid state drive is I saw someone's like real if you are a videographer or something like this you basically like pull like your best clips from each like each you've done and pretty much just like put it all together with like a really cool song I wouldn't be able to do that if I keep deleting my projects which I honestly do and it's so bad especially because I'm trying to get more professional and that is not what professionals do they definitely have like backups of their projects and keep them forever and ever just in case something happens so I need to start doing that so that is why I got a solid state drive so I could you know at the end of the year I could like pull from like projects and it would be so easy so yeah I'm really excited about that I'm not essentially about the price but I know it's going to pay off because I will show you my stack of hard drives that have corrupted they are so stupid and annoying and like holy crap like I've spent too much money on like all those hard drives and they're like all corrupted and like I've definitely tried to send back hard drives like maybe three or four times one time like they didn't even fix that they just sent it back and like I think they like said it was fixed but it was not fixed so yeah I'm over it so hopefully the solid state drive will like save my life and I think it will be a good thing for my business so yeah just wanted to share that really quick I'm getting ready to go to brunch and this is my outfit I have these shoes I got from Plato's Closet or Style Encore this dress is a short sleeve dress and it's from Princess Polly this cardigan is from Layden and then this hat is from Pink Lily Boutique and it's super cute it doesn't really have any embellishments but I kind of like it plain but Ryan said I needed like something on it but whatever this will do for today and we're going to Hanks
