 If you guys are new to my channel and we're doing a week in my life this week I didn't do it last week. I don't know why just like wasn't really in the best mood for vlogging I just edited a whole video and I got to almost 10k steps met 9,700 or something But Ryan always likes this one coffee place near us So I think we're gonna go walk there and then I'm definitely gonna hit those 10k steps I got this hat yesterday. We had a wholesome Sunday and I actually vlogged that so definitely go watch that if you guys are Interested we just did a bunch of random things in Austin and today a lot of my friends have off So we are planning on going paddle boarding later today, but first we are going to get some caffeine I haven't decided if I really want anything just kind of want to get outside because it is actually the most perfect day here in Austin It is gonna be like 80 degrees and sunny and beautiful. I definitely want to spend as much time as I can outside Then being on the water in Austin, there's so many lakes and just like bodies of water that you can swim in But I need to prepare myself. I actually just put sunscreen all over myself I'm not really sure if these shorts are very flattering, but they were the only clean shorts I had so we're just gonna roll with it This swimsuit though is from Monday swimwear, and I'm obsessed with their swimwear like I love how it's red I'm not sure if you guys can tell but it just like sucks you in so good They are definitely pricey, but I fell in love with like the first couple so I bought even more first we need to put some hair serum in our hair Because it's hair washing day. I don't think I can go one more day With my hair being like this all over Slush in a little bit So we have a blow-up paddle board Ryan bought it like I Want to say like the month that he moved back to Georgia, and he just left it for me But honestly, I don't know how to blow it up myself. So I didn't really use it So he's gonna teach me today He has a call it to but I think we're just gonna go early and he's just gonna teach me how to blow it up It just looks like a lot of effort to be honest I mean, I don't think it looks that hard I just don't want to mess anything up and like have it leak air while I'm on the paddle board on the lake So it's very nice of him to come and do that next up of course face sunscreen Super-goop. I'm noticing I'm getting a lot of like random sunspots on my face like right here I wouldn't call them freckles. I definitely say they're like sunspots And I don't know if that's a good thing to be honest So that probably just means I'm not putting on enough sunscreen every day And sometimes I definitely forget I need to make it more of a thing Especially now that it's getting hotter outside But this glow screen is so beautiful because it gives me a little glow and a little bit of color So that's nice. I don't really feel like the need to wear makeup. Also, I'm gonna be wearing a hat and sunglasses So we should be good to go I'm charging up my little JBL clip for speakers So we can listen to some music on the lake and I don't want to get my new hat dirty just yet So I'm going with this one that I got in California This is a bit. My legs were shaking It wasn't as bad on the water out there But then as we were getting closer to the city It was getting windier and windier and then we were actually going against the wind on our way like towards the city So we thought we're gonna, you know, just leisurely like float back to the dock that we docked off at No, that was not the case because the wind switched up on us We were rowing away from the wind again, and they were just so windy I am definitely gonna be swimming while which it was a great workout, but like holy shit We did not think we were gonna go like that far towards the city We definitely thought it was just gonna be more chill day on the water, but that's okay I feel so like dirty and grimy and leaky. I think there's like something in my eye, too So I'm gonna go take a shower wash my hair it was a lot of effort putting the Pedalboard up honestly like it wasn't as bad setting it up, but like Putting it back in the little pouch and everything was Was annoying. I broke a nail. So I'll love that for me I'll just glue it back on because it's like a gel axe thing. So they're just like popped off So I guess it's not that it's broken But I also need to chug like five gallons of water I'm also thinking about taking a liquid every because that's how I dehydrated. I feel right now. Good morning. It is Wednesday I'm here with Sophie because she is going to the vet. She has to get all of her like shots I was trying to make her a grooming appointment actually and they told me that all the shots were expired So I'm gonna go get it done at emancipate. I think we brought her here for her last shots Ryan did it last time So I am going to do it this time I don't know if there's gonna be like a long wait or what but I tried to get here right when they opened at 10 So it's 9 57 and I'm gonna head in to possibly get on like the wait list or whatever they got going on We're back home I think it took like a little under two hours just to like wait and stuff But we were really lucky because we were apparently the last people to get vaccines for the day They kind of cut it off like right after us and I literally got there right at 10 a.m When they opened and there were like already five people waiting in front of me So very very happy that I got it done and now I can finally make her grooming appointment And I also took some stuff to Goodwill My car is actually like filled to the brim with just like random stuff because I was trying to declutter before Ryan like She didn't even like scream or anything. I didn't hear anything But when she opened the door she like bolted out to me It is lunchtime and we are making Indian food from Trader Joe's frozen boxes So we're doing butter chicken and then we're gonna do This one which is definitely one of my favorites. I'm also using the Trader Joe's frozen naan. I'm just gonna heat it up in a pan Here's the lunch set up. These are so small, but I had to split it with Ryan So I gave them all the rice. I have a grad shoot in a little bit, but after it I'm going to meet my friend for dinner I don't want to look crazy. So I just brought some makeup touch-ups my brushes my powder that I just got a refill on This is the Huda Beauty powder and I think it's one of the best actually prefer it over the Laura Mercier one now And I have it in the color banana bread And then I kind of was shitting on this palette a while ago I feel like I do that kind of often where I'm just like I don't really think it's that great and then I start using it again, and then I'm like, oh my god wait I kind of like it. So I'm gonna bring this because it's like a little palette full of Just a bunch of blushes. These are all the colors in them So it's kind of like a full face palette bronzer highlight blush And I'm just gonna take it for the blush because I love good blush moment. I'm gonna take that I have my camera bag ready to go from yesterday's shoe and then I'm in a dress because it's like 90 degrees outside and I'm going to be dying because yesterday was 80 degrees and I was already dying because UT's campus There's a lot of walking and then also kind of a lot of hills at least way more than my school had because I went to UCF And Florida is pretty flat. So I'm not used to all these freaking hills and steps and all that that reminds me I need to go find my up watch so I can make sure this workout is counted. All right Hold on one second getting my lighting relax that shoulder a bit good All right, ready three two one Perfect and tilt your head a little bit and chin down a little bit good Give me a giggle Relax the shoulder even more like put your hand down lower if you want. Yeah Ready three two one All right, I'm gonna ask you to like look to the corner you tilt your head laugh over there, haha Perfect. So your head a little bit very cute. Look at me now and giggle and lean forward a lot. Perfect. Yes Switch up the shoes a little bit. Okay, three two Perfect three two and look at me and laugh lower the arm lower the hand. Sorry and yeah Three two and look at your mom Now lean in with that other shoulder. Perfect. Yes I just got done with the shoot and I expected it to be a lot hotter than it was but thank goodness It was like 90 degrees when I left the house and somehow it was just like really shady the whole time During our shoot and I also forgot my water in my car like I brought my water For the shoot and I forgot in my car. It was kind of dying because I feel like I'm talking I'm walking around I'm photographing and I feel like I can't even like catch my breath sometimes I guess that's good because I love when my grads are talkative, but I just pulled up into Griselda's I'm actually meeting my friend here that just moved to Austin. We went to high school together So she's from Georgia and I'm just so excited to have another person from Georgia moved Austin So that's really exciting her name's Senna. She was in a blog a while ago She was visiting and we went to Makoko. So we're keeping on the Mexican food train I'm really craving fajitas, but I know it's like such a big thing. So maybe we'll split The outfit with the boots I am obsessed. I really was trying to get on my comfort zone Especially by just not wearing jeans. I feel like I just always wear jeans So I don't know if I'm doing too much because this is literally just a casual lunch date with my friend But I have to get a photo today. I just have to we're going to South Congress too So I feel like we can find a cute old background. I really feel like I can look very extra But kind of loving it. I don't know if I showed you guys this thing But it is a slick back Like hair tool in a mascara bottle and I just think it's very genius But as you see it's like a mascara thing and then like if I ever get like a little Flyaway on top or like these things always come out these little side pieces. You just like Push it back and it just stays so well. I told you guys in my last y'all places Yeah He's a toast looks like a freaking artwork. We walked over to his summer house. It's like behind music lane Holy crap. I've never been back here, but it's so picturesque And this lobby Is stunning. I think I'm gonna take a pic right in front of this elevator because it looks cool Nancy is literally number one hype girl. She does it look like oh my god. Wait, can you zoom? Sorry Let me show. Oh gosh. Don't show my nails. Oh my Are you this is a joke? This is a joke. You're Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Who I bumped into Natasha I feel like she's queen of south congress Literally, I I live here as much later. It's 5 20 and I'm actually hosting a girls game night tonight I'm really excited because me and Ryan actually wins target. Was it last weekend? I think it was we just like randomly got some games So we got scrabble late night taboo and then uno and it's funny because a lot of my friends are big games girls And the whole time I was just like uh game night Uh, but it's kind of fun when you like actually know how to play and just get really competitive Uh, and I was like literally craving to play scrabble because I also just like Want to learn more words also update on my nails A couple popped off today I'm not really sure if I should glue them back on or just like take them all off and redo them, but I'm going to Nashville in Three weeks, so I want to time it out perfectly So I can do my nails right before Nashville, but that's also south by southwest So I might do my nails Right before south by but I did say that the last time and I already know one nail is like super super short So maybe I'll just do gel x on one nail the one that's really short and then try to grow out My natural nails because This one is not Too bad, but I really haven't decided if I just want to glue them back on and be lazy Uh, but tonight we are actually cooking dinner. We haven't gone grocery shopping We've just been like eating whatever in the fridge and freezer Which there wasn't that much of the fridge, but there's definitely stuff in the freezer Um, and I got this chicken shawarma thing again from Trader Joe's. I've gotten it before it's pretty good Just like marinated chicken. So I think I'm going to do some kebabs tonight peppers and red onion Robot vacuum is going right now. So sorry about the loud noises in the back But here are the kebabs. How freaking delicious do they look? I love the red onions and the peppers. So I'm going to be chowing down tonight. And then I also made some Uh, cilantro lime rice. It is sundae. I have just not really been feeling Extremely motivated to vlog honestly. I just really don't feel like passionate anymore And I think it always happens around this time when I'm about to start grad season So that could definitely be it But I just feel like my vlogs have been so repetitive lately and I like Don't really know what to do to switch them up because my life is about to get even more monotonous because I'm gonna have grad sessions in the morning and night So I'll have them in all the day to do whatever I need to But I just feel like I'm gonna be very busy with like grad season and stuff If you guys don't know, I'm a photographer. I've probably said something about a shoot in this vlog, but Um, so I specialize in grads at ut austin And so grad season started last week or this past week And it goes until like may ish. So it's like almost every weekday Um, but this year I'm really just saying no to weekends because my weekends are sacred and then also I'm trying to just shoot on monday through wednesday and not thursday friday because I just want some wiggle room in case I need to reschedule someone if it like rains or if it's just really shitty weather Because last year I filled out my schedule with so many shoots And then it was really really hard to reschedule when I needed to so this year I'm saving myself from stress just in case we have another shitty weather spring when it comes to like rainy season But it is sunday. Like I said, we're gonna have another wholesome sunday So I thought I would add on to this vlog if you guys have any recommendations on what you want to see in the vlogs Specifically, please let me know. Um, I feel like I want to do like cooking more I definitely need to eat at home more so that won't go hand in hand So maybe I can incorporate more of that But I even like I'm thinking about just switching up the videos to not be just weak in my life. So maybe like Like challenges throughout the weeks, but still like vlog my week For example, like what I spend in a day or what I spend in a week in austin So like videos like that, but you guys let me know what you think I don't want to like stop vlogging, but I just want to feel really passionate about it especially because it does take so much time to like edit the videos and I'm just like not feeling it lately And I definitely prefer like all the other platforms over youtube like tiktok and instagram And I'm still definitely posting on there. So go follow me over there if you guys are interested It is so underscore gnarly without the g we're gonna start off the day by going to Uh, a new breakfast place called oven bird. Hopefully we can get in I just called and they said they had like a little bit of a wait, but not too bad Um, so let's go get some breakfast in us. We are in south austin trying out this place oven bird Hopefully it's good. I've actually had this saved on instagram for so long We got done with breakfast and I am kind of regretting not getting a matcha because I wanted to like get it later There's this like pop-up And I think they're called matcha boys. I'm not really sure but they're doing something at native hostel today And it's like starting at 2 p.m. So I kind of want to try it if we are Around the area So I wanted to save my caffeine for then I feel like if I get too much caffeine I'll be super super anxious I do not feel like feeling that today, but oven bird was like good. I don't think it's anything spectacular but I didn't try the matcha so That could have wowed me, but we're now at the domain I think we're gonna shop around and just like get some inspo for spring And we are also going on a couple's trip to nashville in march and south by southwest. It's happening that same week So I'm doing like half and half South by for the first half and then going to nashville for the second half of the week So we want to just like see if we can find any outfit inspo, especially for nashville Um, I know ryan wants to get some shoes. What are what are the shoes you're wanting to get the white on rocker fitter? Like leather on Thanks, we've been look I feel like we've been looking at those for like a year now Do more than that. Yeah, definitely more than that. Every time we go to norsum I'm just like you should get them and he never does but anyways Maybe he'll get them today And I don't really know what I'm shopping for but honestly I just want to get inspo because I want to go online shopping more I prefer online shopping But I just don't even know the vibe for nashville like my friends and I haven't really talked about it We're not going for a bachelorette party. So I don't know how like fancy we're gonna get like glitter sparkles fringe Or if we're gonna go more casual I do need to look for a green outfit though. You do too green. Yeah, because it's st. Patrick's day I'm probably gonna leave my camera in the car to be honest because it's so heavy also In my last vlog a comment I got was What is the camera you're filming on because it looks so compact, which is hilarious that that girl commented that Because it is like far from compact. It is this chunky ass camera with a long lens But I'm shooting on the sony a7 4 so it's like the newest model And the lens is a tamron 17 a 20 28 millimeters whenever people ask me for camera racks. I always point them to sonys But not this line, especially if you're just vlogging like this is not Necessary because I shoot my photography sessions with this camera as well So that's why I invested in this spotty But vlogging camera I used to use was the sony a5 100 And I don't know if they make that anymore because it was such an old model, but they have so many new versions of it. So it's like a 6400 I think is like one of the really good ones Um, it is a bit bigger, but I mean, I think you can still find the sony a5 100 on ebay I definitely recommend it just getting the body and then purchasing separate lenses Even like if you're getting like a bigger camera like especially if you're getting a bigger camera because Usually the kit lens is not all that great. And so you can save a little money by doing that We actually ended up just going to Nordstrom Um, and we didn't find anything Ryan didn't see the ons that he wanted They're more like a casual shoe. Would you say not like a not like an athletic shoe Or dress shoe, right Okay, well, I don't know casual Yeah, but now we're gonna go check out a matcha pop-up I've been following these people on instagram for a while and I never know where they are going to pop up And I don't think they like pop up very often But I saw that they were popping up at native hostel today. I've actually never been to native hostel So excited to be checking out a new place today. I think it's like a coffee shop, but it turns into a bar At night if I'm not mistaken, but it's on the east side. So very close to home
