 Good morning. Welcome back to another vlog. I'm just getting ready to finally start my day making sure to put on some sunscreen. This is the Neutrogena Ultra Shear. I'll use regular suntan lotion if I'm actually going to be like out in the direct sun like at the beach or the pool or something like that but just on like a day to day if I'm just going to be like out running errands or walking Benny or whatever. I like this one because it doesn't feel heavy and it doesn't have like a strong sunscreen smell so yeah it's good for like every day kind of use and then I put my Tercadia SPF on my face which I do every single day. I've learned in recent years that you really should apply sunscreen all the time no matter what like year-round even if it's cloudy out even if you're not leaving the house because any sunlight that's like even coming in through your windows can cause damage to your skin but I love the spray because it adds a nice glow to your skin and it just looks so nice especially over a tan. Also I blew out my hair last night um for the first time in a while. When I wear it naturally curly obviously it like shrinks up a lot more but look how crazy like down to the middle of my back now. This is like the longest I think my hair has ever been. Here is what I'm wearing. It kind of feels a little bit like um a moo moo or I don't know like nightgown vibes kind of and it's like definitely not the most flattering thing ever because there's zero shape to it at all whatsoever but it's just so comfortable and I feel so free under here. I am wearing bike shorts just because like it's too flowy I would feel like way too naked if I didn't have shorts underneath. This is from H&M I got it last summer and I'm putting on my new necklace. This is my favorite necklace at the moment. I've been wearing this non-stop and then I have new rings too. This one super cute and then this one is literally just like a chain. Cute and dainty. I love the look of rings but I find that especially in the summertime if I'm out and about like it's super hot you and out my fingers can swell a little bit and then the rings just start to feel super uncomfortable and I just hate that feeling but these are like nice and thin so I don't even feel that they're on. They're really comfortable so these have been my go-tos the last few weeks and all of these pieces are from Ana Luisa which they are sponsoring this portion of the vlog. Thank you so much to them. I would say like 98% of the jewelry that I own is all from Ana Luisa and I love it. I have turned my friends and my mom all on to them. They're sustainable which makes them stand out to me. They offset 100% of their carbon emissions. They make all of their jewelry in small batches to eliminate excess waste and their pieces are all really high quality so like I said these have been my go-to pieces for the summer. In the past I used to just avoid wearing jewelry for the most part in the summertime because if I'm like out sweating or if I go to the pool, if I go to the beach, whatever like I get my jewelry wet it would start to tarnish over time and just not look as nice. It would stain my skin green but my Ana Luisa pieces I can wear all the time anywhere. My earrings are actually from them as well. These huggies and I keep them in all the time. I've had them for months now and I never take them out. They stay in my ears all the time in the shower when I'm swimming etc and you can see they still are amazing quality. Same thing with these bracelets. This one oh my god I've had for over a year now and again I never take it off. This one I've had for a few months. Never take it off. I mean you know if you watch my videos like you see these bracelets are always on my wrist. Everything that I have from them holds up really well so if you're looking for higher quality jewelry for a more affordable price their jewelry starts at $39 and I have a discount code that will save you 10% off your order so check the description box. Click that link and save yourself 10%. I'm going to take Benny out for a walk before I leave and then I need to stop at my apartment complexes office. I have a package I need to pick up. I need to print out some shipping labels and then go to the post office. Ship out a couple of postmark orders. Let's go. Let's get this day started finally. Oh that's how humid it is out. Thank you so much you two. It feels so good checking things off your to-do list especially I have the habit of like putting things off to the last minute. Got some lunch at Starbucks. I went to Target as you saw after the post office. I had a target circle discount on a lunch item so I got a tomato mozzarella sandwich. So excited to eat that because I haven't eaten anything yet today. And then I got a couple grocery things. I was out of tomato sauce so I got this fire roasted tomato and garlic one and then I have so many shoes in my closet and I have a little shoe rack in there but it's completely full and the rest of my shoes I literally just have like lined up on the floor in my closet and it's starting to get a little bit overwhelming and just taking up a lot of space. So I wanted to get one of these shoe racks that you can hang on the back of the door. So we'll get this set up and organized later. Very excited though about that. It'll be nice to clear up some floor space in my closet. I feel like it'll make it just feel a lot less cluttered and then I needed a new shower curtain because the one or shower curtain liner because the one that I currently have is looking disgusting. And then I got a book. It's been months since the last time I read and I just I want to do it more and I was actually just watching one of Brooke Michio's vlogs this morning and she was sharing her favorite summer reads and this was one of them. It's about two women that are like strangers I guess but they have some kind of shared past that they need to confront and I don't know. I know Brooke was saying that there's like a lot of twists and turns in it and it was good. I actually got a library card last week. Sometimes it feels silly buying a book because I know I can just borrow one from the library but I feel like when I spend the money purchasing a book it like gives me more initiative to actually read it because I'm like oh that you've spent money on this like you better read it you know but I'm hoping that reading this will kind of like get me back into reading and want to read more. I am going to eat my sandwich now which is getting kind of cold. Then I have a little bit of computer work to do once I'm done with that we will do the shoe rack. I wanted to share whenever I am doing computer work I like to put on like some background noise so I go on YouTube and I'll just search like rain sounds or fireplace sounds, beach sounds, like whatever kind of mood I'm in and it's just so relaxing and I don't know just something about having like that background noise like helps me focus. I remember when I used to do internet marketing my manager there always encouraged us to put on some kind of like relaxing soothing background noise and I remember there was this one that we would always put on and it was like a cabin and there was like a blizzard happening outside and you could hear like the fire in the fireplace crackling and it was like so peaceful and nice and I don't know like ever since that I always gotten this habit of like putting on some background noise. Here's what the closet looks like so I have this shoe rack that's completely full and then all of these shoes just laid out here like I had said so obviously I'm not going to be able to fit boots in here so I'm going to just put all of my smaller shoes and then I am going to just put boots and bigger shoes on this. Here's how it looks I am so happy. Look at all this room that's in here now. Oh it feels so much better and I even had some leftover room on the shoe rack in here so that is very exciting and I love that you can see through it so I can still see all of my shoes because that's the thing like it's nice having things out and easily accessible and on display because I feel like when you can see your stuff you're more likely to wear it whereas if it's like packed away in a drawer or something you know like if you don't see it you forget that you have it sometimes. This is what it is from the bright room brand highly recommend if you need some storage like this and all of my robes I just put behind this store now. Happy Monday it's been a few days since the last clip you saw the weather was pretty shitty all weekend so I literally just stayed inside and I read this book all weekend. It definitely touches on like pretty heavy subjects and I definitely feel like it was a little bit predictable like I definitely started already like figuring out what was going on from the beginning but even still it was good but it still kept me going. I just like I'm a big thriller mystery true crime kind of person so I feel like anytime I watch a movie or read a book or anything that has any kind of like plot twist I usually can call what's going to happen from the beginning just because I like consume so much of those kinds of storylines but yeah it was still good still recommend either way and now that I finished that book it's like getting me excited about reading again so if you guys have any recommendations leave them down below I like a lot of different genres definitely fiction though but today I'm very excited because I am getting my nails and my toes done and especially oh my freaking toes I've been needing a pedicure badly for the last few weeks so uh yeah I'm excited about that and I'm gonna get my nails filled probably cut them down a little bit I'm not sure what color I want to do yet and then I'm also getting a wax which I'm doing that first actually very casual outfit by the way I have this like ripped up vintage looking shirt from forever 21 bike shorts and then I'm gonna wear my black pillow slides it's so crazy I just took Benny out for a walk and I think the height today is always supposed to be 85 and it feels like cold because that's probably being dramatic but like compared to how it's been it's been like close to 100 degrees and super humid which makes it feel even hotter obviously so today it's like not very humid out and it's a little bit cooler than it's been and just in comparison I'm used to like stepping outside and being like oh my god and it's really nice out but like I don't know I'm not used to it now and it feels like kind of chilly in comparison which is so crazy to think I'm telling you I was born to live in this weather last week my friend Julia came to visit me and she is one of those people who gets hot very easily and I'm the complete opposite I get cold very easily and I don't sweat easily but yeah we're just two polar opposites when it comes to that and we went out downtown and I don't even know what the temperature was but it was pretty humid but to me it felt so good and she was literally dripping sweat she was miserable and meanwhile like I'm dry I don't have any sweat Eddie Rodney I thrive in warm humid weather but anyway I need to leave to head to my appointment now I'm gonna bring you with me so let's go just got home from all of my appointments here's how my nails turned out I love this color did the same color on my toes I cannot remember for the life of me the name of this color it's just like a orangey red but I feel like it makes me look super tan feel so good to have you know your nails and toes freshly done especially my feet they feel so much better and it's so funny like I almost never have my hands and feet matching colors and I feel so like put together right now it's like when your bra and panties match you know like that's how I'm feeling right now it's actually really beautiful outside although now it's starting to get a little cloudy so it might start to rain soon but temperature wise it's like really comfortable outside right now so I think I'm gonna take advantage of it and take Benny for a nice long walk around the apartment complex and hopefully it doesn't start raining yeah you want to go for a walk I still have the air mattress out from when Julia was visiting so I need to put that away but you ready to go you want to go for a walk yeah I'm gonna go for a walk success we went on our entire walk didn't start raining but I'm about to give myself an eyelash lift and tint and I'm going to be recording a tutorial and that'll probably be up before you see this vlog so you haven't seen it and you want to see it I will put a link in the description but I'm excited um it's been like at least two months since the last time I did it and it I'm definitely do so you'll see the difference that it makes in my eyes it just makes my eyes look like more open and awake so here is the before here's after there's like a little bit of residue and staining still on my lid but I have to wait 24 hours before I can get my lashes wet I am actually gonna go start editing that video so that way I can post it tomorrow morning like I said though by the time you're watching this it already is up and then in like about 30 minutes or so I'm gonna be recording a new episode of my podcast with my best friend Julia you're so cute I mean I'm not surprised because they got married super fucking young I'm pretty sure it was just because he was in the military and she had moved around with him a bunch I was like oh I don't know if I want to give you mine just yeah like they're good to know me a little too well so he was like yeah I'll give it to few hours later I was getting ready to go to bed and then I was like uh hello wait a second you're vlogging so I just wanted to share I don't always do this but when I'm wearing my hair wavy it can get tangled and be a hot freaking mess when I sleep most of the time I will just sleep with it in like a loose low bun but sometimes I will do what I'm doing right now so brushing through it because I could just feel all day it was like getting so tangled so I'm using my frame art detangling brush has like very flexible bristles kind of like the wet brush so brush all those tangles and then I just run the brush under the faucet and then brush through my hair just to get my hair a little bit damn hard it I've been doing it down the middle so split it down the middle bring everything forward and then take a belt from a robe put on top of your head and then just grab a little section twist it around then grab a little more hair add that kind of like doing a french braid almost but just twisting it around the rope and each time I grab another section of hair I twisted around I've shown this in vlogs before but in case you missed it or you've never seen anyone do this before when I get to the end I just wrap around and this is nice because if you have naturally straight hair this will add a nice curl to it without having to apply heat to your hair and whenever you're doing a heatless curl it always lasts better because your hair is like really setting and molding into that shape and if you have naturally wavy or curly hair like I do this can kind of keep your hair like a little more neat makes the curls a little bit more manageable so the way my hair looked all day today is a result of me doing this style because last night I washed my hair and then when it was damp before I went to bed I wrapped it like this but then you know if it starts to get kind of tangled throughout the day when you're going to bed the next night you can just do this all over again and refresh it there's nothing on the back of my head so it's super comfortable to sleep and it's like very soft this is my favorite type of heatless curl to do because I feel like it's just the fastest to do most comfortable to sleep in so yeah if you haven't tried this out yet give it a try but I'm gonna go to bed now I'm gonna wrap up this vlog here so that way I can just start a new one for the rest of the week thank you guys so much for watching don't forget to check the description for my link and discount code to Anna Louisa that's where these hoops that I was wearing today are from as well so I hope that you guys have an amazing week and I will see you really soon in my next video bye
