 Hey all welcome back to my channel today is a video as you can see from the title in the intro It is going to be a self-care motivation type of video if you're new here Hey, my name is Akira Jenae. Don't forget to subscribe and join the family before you leave So this isn't going to be kind of like a routine This is kind of just me taking this specific day to just to care for myself It's been a long time since I've like did skincare Face mask all that kind of stuff and really just Taking the day for myself So I wanted to bring you guys along with me and we can do that together So I do start off the morning by opening up all my blinds. I am a very natural light type of lover and every single blind will be open in my apartment Then after doing that, I will make my bed. You will see me making my bed But I'm not going to fully make my bed in the first clip because I do have some new sheets that I'm going to put on and then You'll see that later in the video So my morning skin care routine is a very very simple. I use literally like two to three products I normally don't do the face scrub, but I decided to throw that in Since this is more of a self-care type of video my normal every day morning routine It's like two to three friggin Products so didn't want to take the extra step to go ahead and do a face scrub So I know I'm not the only one who can't start eating until they find something to watch Yeah, that's me Normally I would turn on like whatever series I'm watching on Netflix But I wanted something real quick because if I turn on like HBO Max or Netflix episode I'm gonna be sitting here for like two or three hours. So I turn on a quick little YouTube video At this point in time it was recent one Normally, I would like to watch Raven Elise or Olive Destiny or you know someone like that But I know everybody came post every day. So I Set up a recent one and don't talk about me But I do eat my eggs with my hands because I put my eggs on my bacon eating like a little sandwich Me a lot better this way open floor plan and the other one really wasn't as open as I would like it to have been but I Have a few packages that I'm gonna open and do something with so My first package is this one right here It's a hammock and Then this one if you might have was wondering why I didn't make my bed in the beginning of the vlog It's because I have some new Sheets so I was like my son not even make it if I'm about to like strip my bed again So yeah, I got some black like satin silk sheets. We're gonna put those on in a minute And then this I want to put this up because it rained like two days ago, so it's still kind of like a Not cool breeze, but it's not a hundred degrees outside right now. It's actually 77 degrees outside right now So that's Really really good weather. I want to put this together and since this is kind of like my Self-care vlog like taking this day, you know out just for me I like to read fun fact So I do have a few books down there as you can see I read most of those But I do have like three that I have not read yet So I want to finish The one that I actually started like a couple months ago And I want to like sit on my patio and lay down and chill in my hammock and read so This is what we have It was what I mean. I picked one that I felt like was going to actually fit my patio. It says it's 59.6 inches like long I kind of measured my patio and it's like two of these so 59 and 59 and plus some so I feel like I should have enough space The width I don't know. We'll see You do know I have patio furniture out there, but it's giving me it's been getting really like dirty or whatever so I'm gonna try out this handbag because Feel like this may be a little bit easier to clean But I'm gonna stop talking and either do like a voice over like cute little music or something This also brings us to today's sponsor who is Suncrete Thank you so much for sponsoring this portion of the video What I am building is the double quilted hammock with a curved bamboo bar in a portable stand What I really really fell in love with about this hammock is you don't have to attach it to a tree Anything it literally comes with the stands this setup took me Maybe ten minutes to put together It was like four or five pieces that you just stick into each other Then you just put the hammock on top Super super cute and easy.

It's super soft Super easy setup. Thank you so much to Suncrest for sponsoring this portion of video sending this to me Definitely definitely love this. I am gonna take this hammock to my cousin house who has a pool and maybe we about to be Over there chilling poolside in the hammock. It's about to be a whole vibe Been chilling in the hammock been on the phone by my best friend And yeah kind of just talking on the phone is kind of what prolonged the process. So now I'm about to Clean my bathroom and then I'm going to take a shower and do myself my own pedicure because I Need it. So I'm gonna clean the bathroom shower and then Before I start my pedicure. I'm actually gonna start prepping my food. I'm gonna cook spaghetti Since the last time I did a cook with me video. I cooked ribs That's like a very very recent video. So I did ribs. So I'm going to cook spaghetti this time. I haven't had spaghetti in like about a month now Or maybe like three weeks. So that's what I'm feeling We're about to get to cleaning this the bathroom get it speak and spin and then I'm gonna shower Because you know, I smell like outside right now from sitting outside in the hammock and these are my PJs I mean, I'm at home. So I didn't change. So I'm gonna shower change out of these PJs and put on some fresh pajamas and then Also got to make my bed with my new One of those sheets. So I'm gonna start cooking And then I want to do my pedicure and then I'm going to make my bed after These are my new sheets from Amazon I will have them linked down below my Amazon storefront if you do want to give them a try I've been sleeping on for about two to three days and they feel really really good The only thing is you see how my box spring has that white bed skirt on it I was thinking I'm gonna need a black bed skirt I was gonna maybe put the sheet on the bottom as like a black Bed skirt because I don't really sleep under the sheet and this sheet is like really really like silky So I'd be sliding everywhere. So I think I may put that sheet Where the bed skirt is and then just have the fitted sheet right there because I want that to be all black The only thing I want to be white is the comforter So it may look a little thrown off in the video, but I am going to switch that out off camera And if I remember to put in a clip I may but if not, I'm gonna switch the bottom bed skirt to a black one So I think that'll make it look a little bit better So I'm about to do my own at home pedicure. I have this and this is everything that I need for it so these are basically my tools These products are from Lush I've been using this product for about three or four months now. I originally did a Shower routine that I was gonna post but I never posted it and now I know y'all gonna think that I got this from Arneal, I think it's who showed it and her little like routine, but literally this is my second Bottle and this is how much I've already used it now So I really really love this. I actually posted a vlog of me going to Lush like three or four months ago When I got this so yeah I'm mad that I didn't post that video because I know everyone's gonna think that I got this or took this from her But she's the first person that I've ever seen, you know use it besides me and then this is what I got at Lush Also, they put this in here Use it for your feet. It's called the Pumas power foot soap and since I'm doing my feet I always forget to use it in the shower, so I'm gonna use it now And then I just have you know dr. Teal's Epsom so and then these two things right here is Kind of something like what I used to use before I used to use this Lush product Get this from big lots. It's an overnight foot treatment and then this one I got this to review, but it's just the intensive foot repair. So I use this for the back of my heels This I used to put on like all over my foot And then I use this one all over my foot. So I think today I'm just gonna use This one first for the back of my heels and then I'm gonna use this one I may put this on like right before bed, but I don't know. We'll see and then Yeah, I guess I'm gonna do blue today because my other nail polish ain't painted my own toes in a minute So my other nail polish is like Trash It's all messed up. So yeah, I'm about to soak my feet and Get my feet looking back somewhat presentable myself Right now they look a mess So don't laugh and I didn't shave if you can see my legs my hair is starting to grow back I shaved like two days ago, but I don't want to like constantly keep shaving So I'm not gonna shave again until like the next couple days, but yeah, my hair is going back So if you notice that but my toes look a mess, honey absolute mess so I'm gonna put like one little bitty drop of this Because a little goes a long way with this stuff And I don't have a bathtub anymore. So I can't use any of my bubble bath stuff So normally everything that I will use for a bubble bath I kind of just use for my feet and Prince wants to do this.
