 Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to my channel. So today is just another vlog. Um, I am currently so hungry. I just did my makeup. I got out of the shower. I went to Pilates this morning. It is now 10, 10 a.m. So, I am finishing up getting ready and I just wanted to show you guys a few of the way products that I've been using. This is not sponsored, just I've been asked a lot of questions since posting them in like recent vlogs. They sent them to me. Um, so I'm gonna give you a little update. I like the leaving conditioner. I put that in today and then I just brushed out my hair. I used just like a nice little wet brush. This one is the best one ever. I will link it down below. Um, today I'm gonna be trying out the wave spray. There's not really, let's see, direction shake it up. Missed damp or dry hair from root to tip for easy undone texture and enhanced natural waves. Or just hit the roots for extra volume. So, um, I'm gonna try this out. Also, okay, question. I have a hair oil, so it has no directions on when I'm supposed to like apply the hair oil, which I'm not gonna do it because I'm doing the wave spray. But like, I'm assuming you put hair oil on dry hair? Okay, so you work one through jobs through wet hair and air dry. Just move through dry strands after blowout to calm frizz. See, that's what I meant. So, I'm not gonna put that on today because I'm gonna try to just do the wave sprays. Um, wave spray. So, you can put this one on while it's damp though. I have my Dyson hair dryer that I got for Christmas. I've wanted this for so long. Um, I know it's expensive, but it also dries my hair really fast. And I feel like if you work out every day and you want to get ready quickly, I like hate drying my hair and I hate doing the whole thing, it's just awful. This is worth it. So I'll link it down below. I'm using a different head. I've never used this one. I always use the other one. So, we will see what happens. I'll have everything linked below. Also, hi guys and kidsy. Um, if you guys are new here, subscribe. This one I think you're supposed to use more for curls, but my other one, I don't know. I'm just gonna spray this stuff and see. Okay, so I'm literally awful at doing my hair. So, I ended up, like, switching the thing since I was impatient and then now my hair's just, like, kind of honestly a mess. Um, I don't really even think it's the wave sprays. I think I just, like, I don't know. Like, wave sprays have never really worked in my hair. Um, but, like, it does kind of just feel like, I love wave, but, like, I don't know. Maybe I should have just not dried it. Like, I don't really think I'm supposed to do that. Anyways, um, my hair is kind of messy, but I kind of wanted to be a little messy today, so we'll see as time goes on, like, what ends up happening to it. It does actually just kind of have, like, a beachy feel to it. So, I actually kind of do like it. Who knows what will end up happening. Anyways, um, with my earrings on, I need a lip scrub really bad. I don't know how all of mine have since gone missing. Like, I know I had so many of them. Um, so, I need to figure that out, but I'm putting in my earrings. They're from Jennifer Fisher. I wear them, like, every single day. Oh my gosh, what the heck. I wear them every single day. Um, oh, also, I'm gonna use my MAC Prep and Prem. I wanted to bring you guys along because I'm using some new products. Um, I got this literally on Black Friday when I'm, like, afraid to. Ooh, okay. I got this as a gift with my Black Friday purchase, and I just haven't used it yet. So, that's what I'll be doing right now. So, I'm gonna try it. I know this is, like, really popular. Okay, I don't like how you can feel it. Like, the Morphe one is, like, very light, and it sprays evenly. This one, like, I can feel the drops on my face, which I don't love as much. This one, I love it. It's only, like, $12. Very good. So, anyways, I'm gonna put all of my stuff away. My new products that I've been trying out. For my outfit today, my Levi's are, like, a little bit big right now, but I'm just wearing this, like, uh, Haynes T-shirt by Carla from Express, I want to say. And then, I'm gonna put on this cardigan, which, honestly, I forgot I even owned, until very, very recently, when I just did my huge collage... when I just did my huge closet cleanup, but this is just super comfy. I'm just working from home, doing school from home, going to the studio today, and then tonight, um, we're supposed to be going to Squeeze to get massages, which is, like, my favorite thing ever. This is my outfit for today. I'm wearing my, like, slippers right now. Um, how many times have I done an outfit of the day that I'm wearing these? Um, just for around the house. I don't have to leave into, like, two, but I have my Levi's. These are just the straight leg rib cage. I want to say they're my, like, some of my favorite jeans. These are my Goldie. They're my favorite. Um, sometimes I feel like they just fit me better than others. I feel like, normally, I don't know how to describe it. My white t-shirt. This is old and it's from Urban. My normal jewelry. My hair. We'll just see what ends up happening. It really just kind of looks like, I don't know. Honestly, I'm like, it looks kind of frizzy, but, like, is this supposed to be beachy? I don't know, guys. All right, guys, I just made coffee. Um, just bringing this back to your attention, if any of you guys are looking for new things to start in 2020, seriously, I'm so sorry about coffee machines being so loud. I would really, highly, highly recommend the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides. Peptides, um, like, powder in your coffee. Nothing makes my skin look better ever. Like, if I had any breakout, you're supposed to do two scoops, but I normally do, like, water, whatever. I don't know. We'll see. Um, but nothing makes my skin clear up. Nothing makes my skin more even. Like, seriously, I don't notice as big of a difference when I use actual, like, skin products. This is the best thing ever, so I'll have it, like, double up, but seriously, the best. So, I'm gonna eat breakfast on my desk, which is what I do most mornings. Um, I just made some avocado, like, toast on some rice cakes, and then I just squeezed a lemon and put on nothing but a bagel. Everything with a bagel? Seasoning. That's what I meant. Then I'm having black coffee with my collagen. All right, guys. So, time for us to have a little chat, life update, if you will. Um, today is a school day, and I am at home, which is not normal. Um, but, if you guys are not aware, I attended Zoe Leadership College, which was half, honestly, like, 60% church internship, 40%. Um, I'm making up this, like, the statistics in my head. It's, like, half church internship, half college. So, it's accredited through South Eastern University. So, you take all of your classes online through Southeastern, and, yeah, it's a two-year program that, like, internship part is, like, a lot of people go for a semester, one year, three years. No one's gone through four years yet, but, um, it's, like, really a two-year commitment. Um, a lot. Honestly, every single person, it's so wishy-washy. Like, people are very wishy-washy, so it just kind of depends. Um, yeah. So, I just finished my two years, and I was kind of going back and forth for forever on if I was going to do another semester. I graduate, graduate with my bachelors this year. I'm behind, so, like, the earliest I would even graduate would be this summer, so I wouldn't have even finished, like, this spring semester. But, um, yeah. It was honestly a really hard decision for me. I know this is, like, kind of, maybe doesn't make sense to some of you, but, um, my life before ZLC, first off, I just want to say, ZLC was the best decision I could have ever made. I honestly think, I mean, it's up there with, like, showing a YouTube channel for me. Um, obviously, there's going to be bad things about anything, and there's going to be bad parts, and there's going to be things that are, like, kind of harder, in, like, an intensive, like, internship for two years. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's going to be, like, difficult, but it was, oh my gosh, like, my spring semester last year was literally my favorite semester of my entire life. Like, it was so, so much fun. I met, like, my best, best friends there for life. Like, I have, like, leaders that I love and adore in my life. Like, there's so many amazing things. I've learned so much, like, leadership-wise, and just, like, about myself and faith, and, like, was, like, such a great decision. Like, it is not a normal college university experience in the slightest, and you're here to, like, build church. It's not, um... I think that, like, people go into it more of, like, what can I receive, and, like, you're going to receive a lot, but, like, you're going to also do a lot, and I think you end up receiving whatever. Anyways, I have a whole video on this. I don't want to go on, but it seriously was the best decision ever, and I loved it. So, and it also provided a lot of structure and comfort for me, because it was really easy for me to just kind of, like, get in this routine and be around the same people every single day, and etc. So I finished my two years this past semester. That was my fourth semester, and pretty much that entire semester, I knew that that was kind of, like, needed for my last semester, but I was, like... I don't know, like, the program itself was changing a lot too, so I didn't want to make, like, an emotional decision, and I was so, like, I want to do, like, what I feel, like, led to do, and I'm not going to make a decision based off, like, what I want to do. And the entire time, I was, like... I honestly knew deep down that it needed to be my last semester, and that that's what was happening, but I kind of just pictured that I was going to do another semester and do two and a half just to, like, do it, I guess. And my life before ZLC, I worked from home and I did school from home, which essentially is, like, what I'm going to be doing now, but I was so lonely. I was so isolated. I was also living by myself. My life was so different. I wasn't, like, plugged in in, like, my community here. I wasn't, like, around family. Like, it was totally a different life, like, going back to where I was then, which obviously is not going to happen, but I finally realized I was making every decision out of, like, a fear-based decision, and I was only staying for comfort, not because I really felt like that's what I was supposed to do. So it was honestly, like, really hard for me. Like, I've been putting this off, like, all semester, and, like, really trying to, like, not even do it and whatever. Um, it was, like, a really hard decision for me to make, and I know this, like, may not resonate with a lot of you guys, because you guys are probably like, oh my gosh, school sucks, whatever, but, like, there's just so many people there like, they'll keep, like, I'm just there all the time. Like, I'm not going to have that for the rest of my life. I mean, I am, but you know what I'm saying. So, it was just so fun. Like, I just loved it so much, et cetera. But there's, like, a time and a place for everything, and, like, that was my time. I did my two-year internship, and now I'm just going to finish and graduate online through Southeastern and keep all my classes and stuff, but that is my little life update and kind of, like, the why behind it and everything. But the best decision I ever made, it was so good. Um, I'm sure that I will miss it, honestly, I thought that I was going to be, like, way worse off now, but I think that the program, like, has set me up for success in so many different aspects of my life. Also, I really kind of look at it. Someone explained this as, like, it's kind of, like, a life tithe, so they were, like, it's kind of, like, this was the foundation. Like, I didn't want anything in my, like, career and all this stuff to get bigger without, like, having a stronger foundation. Um, because I was just, like, going crazy before. But, yeah, anyways, this is a lot of, like, rambling. It was such a good decision. If you guys are looking into the program, highly recommend. Um, I think you just need to go into it knowing it's not going to be, like, just this normal internship at the leadership college. It's, like, the internship college. Like, you were going to, like, work and do things and it's, like, the coolest thing ever. It's so much fun. Like, seriously, it's so much fun. I learned so much. It was the best thing ever. But, yeah, end of a chapter, guys. So crazy. Um, obviously I'm still at Zoe and stuff, but I'm going to have a lot of other life updates for you guys in the next few weeks. So, yeah. Basically, as soon as I, like, stepped out and took that, like, active obedience, so many other things have just lined up and worked out, like, my life in the past, since Thanksgiving break to now, it's crazy the things that have happened and, like, that have, like, been, like, just set up, I don't know, just, like, it's crazy. So, obviously, I'll be taking you guys along. Um, but we'll talk about that in a few weeks. Anyways, that is my little ramble as to, um, why I'm, like, not in school, but I'm in school. You know, I'm not online in school now. I'm just not doing the internship portion. But, love you guys. I actually need to log in as I first day, technically I'll show you the first day of classes, but I need to log in and take them today. So, that's what we're going to be doing. I need to edit a video. It's currently, um, 11, and I need to leave at 2, something, to go to the studio. So I have 3 hours to do a lot of homework and edit a video. So, hopefully that's enough. But, yeah. I'm gonna eat breakfast and start on that. Okay, it's currently 1.45. I need to leave in 15. I got a lot of homework done, and I made a video live, and then I finished editing another video. I'm having problems exporting it, so it hasn't been able to export yet, which is kind of super weird, but I'm about to head off to the studio. Okay, so I'm dressed. I've been dressed, but I just put actual real shoes on, and I have my bag packed for the studio. I just, I don't need my laptop today, and my iPad Pro, all that stuff, just some books and everything. And then this is the bag I'm gonna take today, because it's super small and very convenient. I don't know why that's messed up. Um, I get all of my designer, as of lately, on like the RealReal, or this Instagram, like Dreaming of Designer. You get really good deals. Um, they actually sent me this bag, which is so sweet of them. I've talked about them before. But, like, even that Fendi bag, my Louis bag, those are from the RealReal. Um, I just, like, honestly buy them secondhand now, and it is so worth it. Yeah. Okay, guys, so I'm in the studio. I just recorded a solo episode. It's a master list, so I actually filmed the whole video for YouTube too, so that'll be up in, like, two weeks. But, we're at the studio. We're waiting on Nika and Nicole's here. Quinton's here. We're doing a double-day episode. This will go up, like, Valentine's Day, and Quinton actually... He didn't mean to, like, write the outline, but he basically did. So he kind of did my job for me, and he was just checking it to make sure that it was right. That's the point that I needed, so... Oh. Okay. Okay, we just finished recording. It's dark out. Finally. Here we go. Hey, guys, so I've just been in the studio for the past couple of hours. I am so hungry because I was, like, does anyone else see this when you're working from home or doing homework or something? You don't have an appetite, and then you forget to eat, especially if I'm working from home. So I ate, like, half of the sweet potato before leaving because I was, like, I'm not hungry, but I should probably eat something. Anyways, get to the studio starving. So I recorded a solo episode that's, like, a master list for 2020. Um... I just can't breathe. And I also recorded it as, like, a video for my channel, so it's also coming to my channel, and then there's a whole podcast on it right now, January. My podcast has really been killing it and not gonna lie because it's really great New Year motivation, all that stuff. Um, then, Nico, Nicole, Quinton, and I just recorded a double day episode. You guys love Nico on the podcast and Quinton, obviously. Um, I say, like, Quinton's, like, enough, obviously always gonna be, like, the number one request in person. We will maybe... I don't know why I'm so worried about doing a solo episode. Um, we'll do a solo episode maybe in this summer. Comment down below if you guys want that. I...yeah. Because, like, when we do it, because, yes, like, okay, here's the thing. Let me explain this. Our, like, Quinton as my boyfriend is, like, online, yes, but, like, our relationship itself isn't really, like, online. Um, but I feel like that's just a more, like, vulnerable thing for me, for some reason. You know? Oh, 100%. That makes sense. Quinton's obviously, of course, very down for it, but, um, we're gonna go to Veggie Girl because it just sounds so good. I'm so hungry. I really want the super potato fries and the buffalo chicken. Did you do that, too? I was like, chicken, yeah. Um, yeah, it's so freaking good. Please don't let me forget to get validation. I always forget when I'm here. Um, but, yeah. Anyways, it was good. I'm so hungry. Like, yeah. I just keep telling you guys how hungry I am, and that's kind of pointless, but we made it. Veggie Girl. Here we are. Alright, guys, I'm ready to head off. Um, I have my stuff packed. Here we are. I'm exporting a video right now, and then I have my purse. I'm always a friend who brings a Polaroid. That's literally on every Enneagram meme for type 3. Is that? And that's me. Hope you guys enjoyed today's vlog. Love you guys so much, and I'll see you soon. Bye.
