 hi guys it's julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video i'm going to be doing a reading vlog and yeah it is currently monday the 25th of may 2020 and yeah we're still in the middle of quarantine we're still dealing with this right now it is 8 11 currently watching a video by revision it's a room tour and cleaning video because why not and so that's how i'm gonna start my day well like i've been up for a little bit but i've been kind of like laying in bed not sure if i want to go back to bed or not but i guess i'm just gonna get up but yeah i'm gonna watch this video and then i'm gonna hopefully start doing a bunch of things for the day and i'll update you guys with what i'm reading along the way and yeah i'm actually starting a vlog on a monday for once i could actually film for the whole entire week also i woke up to like a few pimples which i'm kind of upset about but i'm just gonna have to you know actually stick to my skincare routine kind of thing because sometimes i don't feel like putting up doing my whole skin care routine every night or every morning so sometimes i just don't and this is what happens i've also been eating chips a lot at night so that might be that but either way i'm gonna watch this video and see where the day kind of takes us i don't have a concrete to-do list but i have things in mind that i do want to get done so that's how it is tuesday i don't have any reading updates specifically but yesterday was super exciting because i went to indigo and if you saw by just a little previous clip i did get a few things so they're finally open and start out and i'm just so excited that's just where ontario's at with their reopening and yeah so i got starbucks history too and it was just it felt so weird being out too because i have not gone anywhere so it was a very weird experience but it was really nice to go back to indigo so these are the bookmarks that i got i got these two little peaches they were only a dollar but look how cute they are i really like them i also got just this little bookmark too it's just a dream thicker than the sky and deeper than the ocean it's just this little plastic one it was only like two dollars and i just thought it was really nice the big thing was i got this and i'm so excited kim kran this deck uh this is the archetypes deck and guidebook and these are so cool these cards i'm so excited i already went through it once and i'm excited to just start using them i own two other decks by kim kran and i they're like my favorite decks so super excited about that but yeah i don't i haven't done much reading it today um but i got this cool offer from penguin teen today that they're doing like a live show to talk about new releases on friday so i'm excited about that that i'll be r e r e s v p'd so i'm gonna be doing that kind of excited to hear about i'm pretty excited to hear about some new releases so yeah today is wednesday and i watered some trees outside earlier it is so hot outside uh let me know just ran question what is the temperature where you guys are the when you're watching this it's like 33 degrees outside 33 celsius so let me know if it's Fahrenheit or celsius i mean i could probably figure it out anyways but yeah um i really want to film something because i did my makeup and i really want to film something but i really don't know what i'm gonna film like i have a list of things that i could film but i'm just not fiving with any of them right now i'm just not feeling it um but i don't know i think i'm gonna at least take some photos that i have my makeup done and then we'll see about filming something but at least i'm filming for my vlog so it counts what i'm currently reading is my eyes are up here by laura zimmerman i believe is i'll put it up on the screen um i'm reading this in eark and it basically deals it's a white contemporary that talks about body positivity is like the way that it was pitched i guess and the way the thing that's what i've gotten from it so far and that's what yeah so that's what's about but there's obviously more to it and there's romances involved and stuff like that and i'm just not really liking this book i'm about 40 through all the messages i'm liking so far for sure and there's things that i've been appreciating but i'm still just not it's definitely not like a four or five star read for me like it's definitely like a three maybe or under so that's a little bit unfortunate and yeah but maybe you'll pick up i'm only 40 through so hopefully it will pick up but i'm reading it on my phone so i usually read it at night or something and yeah i'm gonna play some video games later today and eat some pasta very soon i'm very hungry i haven't eaten today and it's 330 so i don't have much to update you guys on at the moment but next month there's gonna be so many things there's gonna be my steven king buddy read and if you guys don't know about that i'll have all the info down below but i have a good reads group for buddy reads and i just called it like buddy reads with julie sapphire for now just in case i ever want to use it again to do another buddy read with you guys depending on how this one goes um but i'm doing a buddy read for if it bleeds by steven king so it's all set up on there the start dates all up there the breakdown is up there for like when we're gonna be reading it or we're gonna be reading it throughout june basically a short story a week which is pretty reasonable but if not like i made sure to put on there like if you need like obviously you need to take more time go for it but like for people who read quickly or if you get super enthralled in the book and like read a bunch of it you could just kind of comment on the story when you finished it and then you can just kind of discuss it whenever so you don't have to take like three weeks or four weeks to read it you could take two days but you can also take the full time as well so i really like that and i hope it goes okay i already have i think 15 or 16 people in that good reads group and i have a lot of people who reached out to me and said they are very interested in joining so i'm happy about that so i hope you guys join i also have the Hannibal along the co-hosting so i'll put like the graphics and stuff up on the screen but jesse from both types of books asked me to join you with them and i'm just super excited to do this i love Hannibal if you don't know this is my design has been in my bio for like five years i one day want to get a Hannibal related tattoo from the tv series and yeah it's my it's my favorite show i've seen it i think a few times through maybe four maybe three but it's my favorite show and i'm really excited to rewatch it next month with everybody and see everybody's first reactions and all of that so thank you for the people that are participating or that want to join in with any of those kind of things i really appreciate it and i really hope you have a great time and i hope we love the book i really i really hope we do some people said i would be i would really like some of the short stories so i'm excited i'm excited looking forward to it so it is thursday and today i'm probably just going to be i've just been doing cleaning this morning but i'm probably also going to be editing a video maybe the one i filmed yesterday i was super anxious while filming it and i kept stuttering and messing up and i was really really frustrated but i i'm gonna look over the footage see if i you know if it's decent and then i'll edit that and put it up if it is but yeah i also my goal has been to upload once a week which doesn't sound like a lot to a lot of people but for me it's been it's been pretty good to upload once a week and so i'm just trying to keep on track with that i also just have one thing left to do for my online course for this week all our work is usually due on thursday so i have done most of it i just have to do like a discussion post and stuff like that so that shouldn't be too bad but i have to get that done as well before midnight then i'm also hoping to read a bit today i want to make more things out of resin i can definitely show you guys right now some of the things that i've made um i got some new molds so i've been trying to make little things and then hopefully turn them into keychains or jewelry and i'm hoping to do like a bigger revamp i guess of the shop soon and just have a lot more stock in and have a bunch of things and a lot of options because right now i think i only have two things up on the shop just because everything else sold but i'll show you guys what i've made so in here i have these little gemstones that i made that i just made with resin um they turned out pretty cool just playing around with the new mold and i also tried out some new pigments so that some of them look really really cool yeah um the leaves turned out amazing i'm really happy with these the just the detail in them looks really really really good and i also made these little gummy bears and they're super cute and they're more of a matte finish well these are a glossy one but they're super cute i might make them into little keychains i thought about earrings but they'd have to be smaller um but yeah i'll make them into something so i think this is just really cute so this is a little sneak peek if you haven't checked out my Etsy shop um you can it's linked down below i'm also just hoping to get about a little bit of reading done today of the book that i'm currently reading that i talked about yesterday hopefully i'll get more of that done because i just want to finish that e-book before i start anything else like i want to finish the e-book or else i'm gonna get distracted by something else and then i'm gonna focus on the physical book i'm reading and not my e-book so i'm like okay i'll just we'll just focus on the e-book i got other things to do right now anyways so focus on the e-book get that done soon yeah as i mentioned i'm not really crazy about it but i hope it gets better and there's still always like some good messages you can pick out of any book and you always learn something new obviously from reading so i'm not i'm not mad even if i don't end up liking it you know so i actually just finished editing my video i upload it got it up got the thumbnail done really really happy it's been quite a little bit into the day but i'm really glad that i ended up doing that and getting that done um it's currently three o'clock so i need to get some other things done soon but i might take a nap i'm really tired but i'm also just watching um books with chloe i love chloe's videos so much like all her channels love them the journaling channel so great the video just got up so it is talking about my reading plans and the book i'm currently reading so basically just a little bit about my current read and then some reading plans for the next little
