 Hi y'all, welcome back to another week in my life vlog. I had quite the morning, I worked out, Sophie's here. We're having our Kenzie Sophie Christmas Day. It's the week before Christmas so a lot of things are happening and I have Sophie all day, tonight, and then the morning. Because we're having a sleepover. We're having a sleepover. We do this every single year. This is my niece because you guys are new here. Subscribe if y'all are new. She loves the camera and literally begs to vlog 24-7. So we're going to stop at Target really fast to get stuff to bake today and then we're going to American Girl, which I'm really excited. That's my personal favorite. I want to show you guys my American Girl doll. Oh yeah, please do. And her name's Andrea. Yes. Cute. Her hair is so beautiful. We're doing the brunch where you like bring your doll. If you guys haven't done this, you need to. This is like the best thing ever. She's so cute and pretty. We're going to put out a new outfit for her today. She's a princess. She is a princess. Okay, off to Target we go. This week is so, Sophie's getting a straws. This week is so thrown off because I worked all weekend so that I could take like Monday, Tuesday off to be with Sophie, obviously. But we are heading off to the ranch. I have my eyes coffee, Sophie got her pink drink. She's just throwing trash out and like standing outside. We're going to the ranch. It's Sophie's first time there. She's gone riding with me a bunch actually but she hasn't been to this ranch. So I can't believe you haven't been to this ranch yet. Wait, who are you counting to? The vlog. My friend Liz is weeding us. Liz is also moving in a couple weeks so I'm like really sad about. If you guys haven't listened to the podcast episode with her, you have to. It's really good. She has like the best dating advice. Like if you guys are like making your New Year's resolution to date, you need to listen to that. Hello. Hello, girly. Do you want to show them what you got? I got an ice coffee, no classic two pump sugar free. Oh no, sorry. Two pump peppermint syrup and a splash of cream. And I got a pink drink with mango foam. No, it's not. It does look like mango foam but it's just sweet cream cold foam. No, try the foam. Oh, I know. Oh, that does taste good. That does taste kind of like mango either. Yeah. She's been adding sweet cream cold foam to her pink drinks. So we're off. So have we had such a good Christmas day together? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Off we go. We're listening to Country. She likes flower shops. We're listening to Ernest. Yeah. Yeah. I do a lot. You do? She's wearing a velour like track suit top. She forgot her pants, jeans in these tablet boots that I bought her. It's like amazing. You would never guess that she was my niece. You would literally never guess. She's dressed just like me when I was her age. So if you think- That's true. That is true. Do you think we have so much in common? Yeah. Yeah, we do. We like pink. We dress up the same almost. Mm-hmm. And- Yesterday she said she had a blonde American girl dog so she could dress her up as Dolly Parton. Oh, wait. Let me show you guys my American girl dog. Oh, we did- Oh. So that was before and this is after. So cute, right? And we'll show you her little bonjour. We'll show them that later because we gotta go or else we're gonna be late. So hot. So cute. We got a little Parisian outfit at the store yesterday. It is adorable, Dad. It is adorable. Okay, I have not been filming that much this week. I'm currently making my coffee. It's now Thursday so I didn't vlog yesterday but honestly, I just have been doing so much work with friend of mine and it's like boring to film. I'm like editing and you know whatever. Anyways, I'm making my coffee. I had a call this morning for insurance, literally fun parts of being an adult, did the sauna, I've been getting up early reading, doing all the things. It's currently December 21st and I so badly just like want to be celebrating Christmas. I wish that I would have filmed a what I'm giving for Christmas but I guess I'm just gonna tell y'all I love doing these kinds of videos because gift giving is like my number one love language because I know I have the influencer accent like so I invented the influencer accent so bad and I want to stop talking like with the high pitch voice at the end. Hi but oh no no no 50 but you know we're working on it okay. First matter of business. I've watched the Martha Stewart masterclass. I've watched it two times. I'm surprised it hasn't been more. I'm trying so hard because part one as of right now is out, part two isn't out and I'm not kidding. It like changed my life. Like nothing new necessarily like not. Things that I didn't already like know I wanted to do or like plans or whatever but like more than ever like I'm just like really motivated work-wise and in the next year like that is like my number one priority and not that it hasn't been like I've always had like a very high work ethic but I just feel like now I'm like ready to take things to the next level that makes sense but I highly recommend the Martha Stewart masterclass. I mean I should really work with them because I have told every single person in my personal life that like you need to be watching this because it's just so good masterclass in general is so good and it's shot so well and like I love it and you can learn so much. I did um what else did I watch? I watched Alice Winters um what on like cooking and it's like I did the farmers market one like last year and that one really impacted me every honestly masterclass I watched it really does. I did one on gardening too and I loved them and they're just shot so beautifully something about them is so calm. Anyways what I gave for Christmas um my mom just got some Abercombe stuff. My family is one of those families that just like sends the links to what we want so it's just kind of like I mean whatever I'll tell the things that are exciting I'll tell you guys when I got Sophie. So I got Sophie Uggs because she wanted the Ugg many like the chest out like Kenzie is what she said so I got her those and then I got these blue ribbons and I tied the blue ribbon to the back of them and they're so cute and I gave her extra in case she like trashes them but I love them I'm gonna add some to mine and then this is like the big big part of it okay she is like the biggest Bad Bunny fan and really wanted to go to Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny is the link of her birthday. Her parents were gonna take her and they're not taking her anymore and then I was like well maybe I'll take her for her birthday because when I saw it came out I figured I'd end up being at the Bad Bunny concert with Sophie that week but then I was like what if I just get her Bad Bunny tickets for Christmas because little backstory it's like so much of my life is literally just me recreating my childhood but my uncle is in radio so growing up like Alyssa's dad Alyssa Austin's dad we would always go to like every single jingle ball concert and we would take a limo we will do Frisco we like do the whole thing and we were like not like bougie like that literally at all but it was just like what we did because he was like I think it was he was like he didn't think a really good job there this is a good chronic days like back in the day had a kiss FM and now he works for I heart I think now he works for I heart but anyways because I had an uncle in radio I grew up going to so many concerts like the big perk is that you get concert tickets either for free or like really discounted or he just like has the tickets so I just grew up going to so many concerts and that was like such a big part of my child and it's still a part of my life and that's why I love concerts now like I could be at a concert I would be so I was so excited because I kept thinking like oh my god we're approaching the time we're like Sophie's first concert and like I'm very excited for this so we thought about Shania Twain last fall and then I was out of town and then I was like I really want to take her to eras and I'm still trying to take her to like the New Orleans like I want to go so bad at any brand has New Orleans tickets I will sell my soul okay I just need to take Sophie so if he has tickets eras she's a Taylor Swift fan now after eras came to Dallas so anyways I got her bad bunny tickets and I put them in a card and then like I got one of those scratch off things that says bad bunny tickets and she just like takes the coin scratches it off and sees it so that card is underneath the so when she opens that you know that's what I'm most excited for for Christmas my dad I got him a cologne that he wanted he's so like how boring but that's what he wanted and that Steelers ornament my stepmom I got her the no particular order which is Margot Lee's brand Cocktail napkins that are conversational starters I can't believe I didn't think of that they're genius so good love them so I got her that and then I got her some like gift sets to try out like different products my sister I got her to Cova's which she has already my brother I got him a watch that he really wanted what else my brother-in-law I got him a jealous hat that he wanted again like it's kind of boring because it's like everyone send me the links also I got friend of mine on take talk shop so you guys can actually make money if you're posting take talks like promoting or like just with the product and you tag it you guys can actually make commission now off of the products and I have to approve you so you just like go to request being there and then I approve you I approve pretty much everyone but I just have a set to write to approve and then yeah you guys can now make some money but other than mark the Stuart getting a lot of work done with friend of mine and oh I have a new consultant that I'm working with that I'm really excited about and I've always wanted to work with her but we just like with the okay we like couldn't afford it was just like expensive and now I'm like in a place in front of my where it like makes sense so yeah there's been updates I'm getting my hair done today and have appointments so like I'll show you guys cuz I just oh my god I've just been feeling when I'm my hair is so grown out and just like needs to be redone so bad like you know when it's just so roughly bad the K.
