 Welcome to another vlogmas video today. I am just staying at home. So if you don't like my home vlogs click out I swear, I feel like people just make their beds so they can have more footage. That's why I did it But I also wanted to show you my little outfit my home outfit Gotta have the slippers. I can't wait till I open my new slippers. They're gonna be so nice Yes, got the slippers on and then I have this really puffy cozy sweatshirt thing It's really really soft. It's like the softest thing ever and it is from Luca in gray and just showered So that's why the hair is like all wet. I need to film a video, but I'm gonna eat first probably Yeah, I just want to show you the lounging around the house Outfits, but I think I'm going to have my last meal today because I'm starving. It's about noon right now Okay, so I just have my vitamins and now I'm going to eat my chicken and vegetable meal. Hi Hi, everyone. So what are we doing? We are loading up all this stuff to go in my car so that I can take it to Goodwill Yeah, so we have like tons of shirts and stuff here We like to donate a lot because my parents were cleaning out their closet and stuff And we also have this good chair, but sherry got her other work chair So we're donating this as well. So I'm just gonna help Valerie get this in the car And yeah, that's what my day consists of so far and my mom's on drinking. Okay So I'm gonna finally end up brushing my hair because I'm gonna film a video and sometimes I don't which it Honestly, it doesn't look that bad, but like it looks somewhat bad. I don't know people think it's like dirty So I'm just gonna do that real quick Honestly, the reason why I don't brush my hair a lot is because of the breakage Like I have hairs up here that look like that are broken off Like I don't know if you can see or tell but my hair is just breaking because it's so damaged and stuff like Here like it it tapers off so fast because I feel like every time I like wash it or just get a lot of Breakage when it comes to my hair So that's why I try not to like go too hard on it because of its Fragile state and even though I'm using like a good shampoo. I try to like not get it to break off I don't know. I guess I'm not doing a good job But I just wanted to explain why I don't like brush my hair like a lot especially like the days that I wash my hair So yeah, and sometimes it takes me like a little bit to get the part specifically good or like precise That's kind of precise. We're good with that. We're good with that, right people. Yeah I have to film my Workout update. It's gonna be like super short probably just me like rambling for like three minutes I have an important question So make sure you go check it out because I need your input. I don't know what to do again I'm indecisive about a lot of things sometimes, but before I film that video. We are going to wrap Valerie's secret Santa gift. I'm so glad that have something to vlog. I was thinking like oh my gosh What can I do for the vlog? I don't want to like leave the house today just cuz I don't know I was gonna have a lunch with like my boss, but she's just really busy and stuff So we're gonna do it after Christmas, which is like totally fine because I don't know I just wanted like a down day and I don't know this vlogmas has been terrible I feel like because I have just felt so I felt so Unmotivated to do like anything. I don't know why maybe it's because like we're not going to Disney a lot I know first world problems, but we're not like doing a lot of things. That's why I think when we went to be Nine of a million lights. It was great. Valerie doesn't watch my channel. So I know she won't like no So yeah, I'm so excited to unbox this. I feel like I'm unwrapping a present here I actually might blur this because like I know some of my other family might watch this and it might ruin the zoom call So we'll see we'll see I'm gonna set you guys up like this alright So maybe this is the gift bag because the person that purchased this Said that they purchased the the gift wrapping for it. If not, I'll just wrap the gift. Oh It's so cute. Okay. This is the actual item So I'm not gonna show it here cuz we're gonna do the family zoom Oh, this must be the little the packaging maybe I'm so excited. I feel like it's Christmas like I feel like Christmas already came because of like all this Stuff and my camera is all crooked because it was sitting on a pin. Okay. Oh Oh This is so cute. Okay, so it comes in this Oh, I know that what this is because her secret Santa like needs some help So I know exactly what this is, but I'm gonna put this present in here. I thought I actually had to wrap it, but guess not Okay, so I have everything in this little package now and I'm just re-tying it So I can just throw it under the tree. Well, I thought I was gonna have to do more work than this Like I thought I was gonna have to put it in the gift bag Like all the presents. So that was a fail I thought I was gonna get a little bit more footage from that, but this just says Merry Christmas. Oh, no I'm glad I opened this because it says the person's name. I'm gonna tear this off. So Yeah, I'm gonna just put secret Santa to Valerie on this. Oh good a pen is right here to Valerie From secret Santa. Okay, perfect. I'm glad that I caught that so She doesn't know who it's gonna be from but other than that, I don't know what else I'm gonna do this vlog I guess I'm just gonna go film my fitness update Chitchat video. I'll just like call it like a chitchat video because honestly like I don't have that much to like update Okay, so I just got done filming my workout update video Yeah, I just thought I would say that because I don't know what else to talk about or film I guess oh Valerie's making dinner tonight. So I might vlog her making some dinner If she cares to be on sometimes. She's like, I don't feel like being on camera and then I'm all like, okay fine So yeah, maybe well, she's making her salmon meal favorite famous salmon meal So hopefully maybe I'll get some footage of that just got done watching Aspen and Parker's video Vlogmas and then think now I'm gonna edit my video That's going up tonight because it's already 4.18 and I need to get that like scheduled and posted and stuff So it won't take that long. It's not a long video. I think that's what I'm gonna do now I don't know what I'm filming next on to the next clip got myself a little Popcorn snack because we're not gonna be eating until later and it's about 530 right now. I don't want to be like starving. So I'm having this snack before dinner Our dinner's probably not gonna be until like 8 which is kind of sad, but Sherry doesn't get home until then So okay, so Valerie's agreed to you know do a little cooking segment here Which do Valerie and the first thing I'm doing is I'm just filling up this with Water to the bottom of the steam basket for my broccoli that I'll be steaming tonight This is for the rice and this is going to be for the butter I am making a butter and garlic sauce Which I will brush on the salmon before it goes into the oven And I'm going to at this time set the oven to 400 This is a salmon. Yes, and I will just simply rinse that off and pat it dry with paper towels Oh, yeah to put the salmon in and the reason I use to is because while both of them get the garlic salt Sorry Broccoli down broccoli down While both of them get the garlic and butter sauce on them Sherry and I like ours with some Cajun seasoning So therefore I use two different Hams now. I'm going to make the the butter and garlic. So that's melting butter. So there's garlic powder Just put in what whatever and then I'm going to whisk it so the garlic flat powder gets all blended I'm just gonna put this aside for now Turn this off and now we're going to come over here and we're going to just simply rinse off the salmon They usually get the kind that has the skin on it, but these were better cuts and they were on sale today So that's why we got this Pretty good Yes, they're very nice So I want to want them to drippy dried off so it'll absorb the butter and I want to dilute dilute it So now what I'm going to do is I'll just decide this is the one the Sherry and mine will be in so there'd be two slices of salmon in this or two pieces And then this is going to be for Alex's So I will pick up a piece of salmon. I'll brush the bottom There we go. That is Alex's Alex's and then I've also put here of being seasoning on cherries and mom You said in the 40 minutes. Yay. I remembered. I'm fixing double rice today because we're extra hungry We normally don't get rice at all. We are going to put the rice mix in here Oh, you have how much butter in there? I have always used double butter. This is a double sting So usually it's going to be two tablespoons butter and two cups of water But I have four cups of water and four tablespoons butter, but I always double the butter because it's better rice and seasonings and I'm gonna have to get a spoon now stir this This is more the same what I do is I clean have you had to clean the broth We very carefully so I'll take this and first off I cut this part now This part is small enough, so I probably won't cut it in half, but normally I'll cut them in half, but in this one Clean it. I want to be very careful so I get all the Brown off and all of any check for any bugs extra protein. Yep check for anything that looks Like something we don't want to eat. Oh, and then after that you just put them in this Pot and there's water under there Basic meal, but I just want to explain it for myself when I go back to look at this video when I'm like The scene broccoli is the best. Yeah, it really is. This is Valerie's favorite food Yes, and as a matter of fact it is now this broccoli is not very good. This is it's okay Okay, it's you seem better wrong. Yes. Okay. Yeah, you always have to be kind of suspicious when it's on sale Okay, now this one here. I can show you how I do it take this Cut that take this Cut that Okay, and that then will reveal if you've got any issues and See it all right there. See how it's kind of like dark there. Yeah, so I will Oh people loved your tip about the onions. They said that you should do it tips for cook. Yeah Yeah, but if you don't cut the bottom off Then you can keep from tearing up. That's what that's what they liked So anyway, so we're gonna like look at this Yep, see now that looks just because it's kind of dark there Put this broccoli in here. Okay, so it will cook evenly. Oh, so you have to place it Yeah, so you want to make sure that you're yeah, no put a lid on that and then we'll let it steam cuz you see yeah There's the water. Can you explain the rice? Yeah, the rice situation. Yeah, we're gonna turn this down a little bit more here So after she got it all mixed up and everything with the butter and boiled She just turns the heat down and just starts to boil it turned down. Yeah after it starts to boil And then I stir it occasionally With the lid on it'll get done about 10 minutes earlier in the salmon, but that's okay because I just let it sit I'm gonna make a holiday sauce, but I make it out of a package and don't make it from scratch Oh, if you guys haven't noticed look at her little Pillsbury dough boys Back there. It's like a little collection. Yes, it's for my Christmas time The real star is home My camera battery is about to die. Hurry. Good. Then we put this in here because we cheat We don't make it from scratch and why make it from scratch was this good you whisk this So it's one cup half and half the sauce mix and then I'll put it in there And then I'll put a half stick better We are making the holidays and we turned on the broccoli a couple minutes ago And we turned on the broccoli a couple minutes ago. We turned it on high, right? We're waiting for it to start to steam and then we will turn it down to about the six Seven so how can you tell when all this stuff is done? Well? I know when that's done it gets to be a song well because I know that the rice is probably done like right now Pretty much so we'll put the rice now over here. It's almost Christmas Are you gonna film us doing Christmas cookies? Everybody watch for Christmas cookie film the excuse me the Christmas cookie video Okay, so the salmon is sizzling. Look at it Getting a little excited there and Valor's basically just gonna distribute all the food right Valor? Yep, I'll show you guys when it's done going to place the food. I'm going to place the food Okay, so this is what the food looks like I just have like some foil over some just to keep everything warm.
