 Good morning! Today is September 20th. It's a Tuesday and it is gonna be the best day because I get to see my boyfriend after a whole month. If you guys are new to the channel, we start doing long distance. Again, he is living at home for a little bit and we've already done long distance for four years in college. So I thought this time would be a lot different because I've never lived alone and that really terrified me but honestly it hasn't been that bad. I've been keeping myself distracted with my friends and you know just having a lot of girl time and then also just like focusing on my career and photography and brand deals and all that and growing my socials. This month flew by and honestly I think this is probably the longest we've been away from each other in three years because well we did long distance so we probably were away from each other for way longer during college but we came to live in Austin, Texas in 2019 and we've been living with each other ever since so I think this has been the longest since then. So I'm really excited to see him and today's also, come here, come here, come here, come here, come here, up up up! Sophie's birthday! I literally found out from an email from the haircut place we go to or is it, no I think it's the pet rent thing we pay. Pet rent's so stupid but anyways um yeah the email and they were like happy birthday Sophie! So I'm going to give her a bath. I also need to put away my laundry. I just want everything to be like clean and just like put away um and I have to pick them up in about two hours so honestly we don't have that much time because two hours is not a lot of time. I feel like I get stuff done fast but time just goes by way too quickly when I'm cleaning and just like what the heck I thought I did that fast. Not sure if this is going to be just like a day in my life or I'll do kind of like a half week in my life. I have an event that's really really special if you guys watched the last vlog you know but um that is actually this Thursday so that's why I'm thinking maybe today we'll just do a day in my life and also today is the bachelorette finale like the official one because there was like a two-part thing they split it up into like last Tuesday and this Tuesday usually it's like back to back Monday and Tuesday so that's like so annoying. Anyways it's actually the end of the show and we're gonna find out what actually happens they always say it's like the most traumatic season yet oh my god I'm so sick of hearing that so sick of it anyone else it's so annoying because I'm just like okay honestly there's been worse things and there's been like crazier seasons so I don't know they just always say that but I'm gonna go put on a cute outfit put on a cute workout set and then get my butt up and start cleaning. I actually really want to get better transitions on tech talk so let's try it in today's vlog there we go okay so we'll see how that worked but here is the set of the day I just got this in from B try it I've actually never purchased anything from their site they set me over the set and it is actually so comfortable and like loungy I don't know I didn't really expect that I almost expected it to be more like on the workout side which obviously you can still work out on this and this is the texture on it it's kind of this like flower mod pattern such a disorganized place ever since we moved here the bottom half is such a big space and I didn't know what to do with it so I got like these little shelf drawer things from amazon and I'm gonna try to set that today Nina I put away everything laundry I did the little baskets in there I feel like so productive already um but I'm gonna go pick them up I'm so excited to see what time did you have to wake up today yeah then a uh grande iced white mocha half-calf and can I get um that with oat milk and then can you sub the whipped cream for salted caramel cold brew or cold foam you still know my order tell me what you got Ryan's been getting pumpkin stuff without me this whole time but I didn't even get a pumpkin drink I didn't even get a pumpkin drink oh my iced white mocha thank you oh happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday do you want a box that's super freaking exciting because it's from care the best pans the most gorgeous pans and look in this box it's super cool because well I guess I'll just show you we have two little boxes I did get different colors this time actually Ryan where are you playing golf today more slayers in New York you excited his golf buddy has been missing you guys ready I don't really even know what they look like mini pan this is actually perfect especially for breakfast you don't want to dirty up like a huge giant pan just for like eggs or something it's a mini pan is that cute it's a soapy pan yeah okay there's another one so I think this might be like a sauce one and that's also perfect because every time I make like a little sauce dealio I don't need a whole you know all right this is so cute let me show you guys like the actual or like the original size of the saucepan so this is the original size at the iconic's collection with the gold handle and the white and I'm pretty sure this actually came in that color but I wanted to get the cream because I don't know can you guys tell the difference I mean barely this is definitely just more warm toned but yeah so this is this this is the size comparison I don't know if you guys can tell because I feel like on camera it kind of almost looks the same but there's there's a pretty big difference and then I'll show you guys the size comparison for the other pans there's actually two of these pans this one is the smaller one and like the full original bundle but this is the size comparison between those two so I'm really excited about this and as always I have a code for you guys either I'll put it on the screen or link down below thank you to caraway for sending these out where I love them wait I'll just pull this out it's a little mini pop lid one thing about me I love mini things I follow this TikTok account that makes like mini things for a doll house it is the coolest thing ever I just saw a TikTok of this girl giving the best content creation hack ever and I have to show it to you guys and I'm gonna walk you through it like she did um okay let me just look back at it so basically it's for the people who like film content and you know a whole like 13 minute video of you making your bed doesn't take 13 minutes let's just say this but a whole 13 minute video of you making your bed or curling your hair will take up so much storage on your phone but if your hands are like busy and you don't want to like you know start and stop it with your hands you can start and stop the video with your voice so like for example start I turn on video ready start are you guys shook because I am okay let me teach you guys how to do it also this is the creator her name is Michelle go to settings go to accessibility voice control make sure voice control is turned on over here then we're gonna go into customize commands then you press custom and then this is where you can create a commands okay then you'll want to do action and then run custom gesture and then you're gonna want to tap wherever you think the button is to like start and stop the video save and that's how you do it I will say ever since I turned on voice control when I start typing like let's say I'm typing here and it just starts see it's like starting to type what I'm saying which is really freaking annoying so I think I might just like turn it on when I'm actually just filming the video because I cannot deal with that but I think that is like literally the best freaking hack ever is going to save me a lot of storage but it is currently 447 I filmed a couple of TikToks for my personal and photography account I'm really really trying to um you know just be better about promoing my photography online because I know so many people follow me through my Instagram and the other day or I think it was literally just yesterday I got a DM on Instagram saying that this girl um found me on TikTok and I showed up on her for you page so it's working but I'm going to bake an olive oil cake and in my last week in my life vlog I told you guys it's been on my bucket list for a very long time I feel like the Kardashians made it a thing but I'm not wrong like during quarantine it was a big thing um and I've never eaten it in my life so I have no idea what it tastes like I just kind of want to make it and bachelorette finale is tonight so it's an excuse to make it for my friends usually we just like bring our dinners or like not even really bring food but since it is the finale we are going to do like a little potluck so I think somebody's bringing like a charcuterie board I tried to get everyone to bring something like bachelorette related so we could get creative so mine's like I'll love you you know like all of you like I love you close enough the other day and honestly they weren't super fresh I wonder if I could ask for a discount but I accidentally broke this rose and I kept it because I was like that'll actually be perfect to like why are these so big these rose petals are giant one of my friends said she's going to be here in like 10 minutes as well I really really hope it turns out okay it also was scary to make a cake because like you can't really cut into it and try it yourself because then it would like look weird one time I made my friend a birthday cake which I still can't believe I made because that it I don't know it was so random I just had a feeling of like I wanted to make a cake so I asked her if I could and it ended up being pretty good but I was terrified of it being like a shitty cake you know because people are gonna eat it so I didn't tell people I'd made it for a while and then after they were like oh it's so good I was like yeah I made it I'm gonna do a quick rinse of all these little cups because I think someone's bringing a mocktail so freaking pretty these are also really gorgeous okay hopefully this is what it's supposed to look like it doesn't smell very sweet so kind of intriguing hey guys it's September 21st it's currently 8 52 and we're at flitch coffee we've literally been dying Ryan's been talking about this place since he's left he's like it's my favorite place you cannot wait to go back so I thought what better place to do this on my coffee day than just go back this morning so we got Sophie it took her out and she went enjoying it I thought you are talking through Sophie so she's Sophie not so I meant um so we got out this morning I put my little bra on so no one can see my boobs and they're gonna be new treats so I'm just giving you treats no one's giving you treats um um what makes flitch coffee so good so whatever milk they use I think it's the barista version of Oatly see if we can get that store running this off wait really because okay so I get the matcha and I've tried the chai but it's like most of the time it's really watered down so I don't know if I'll get anything but I mean the matcha is good when it's not watered down like the first three sips are really good but then they put so much ice and I asked for light ice last time but you know when you say that they probably just give you a look and they're like your high maintenance and then don't even do anything about it um but that's where we are this morning thank you what do you think as good as you remember I've always wanted to try this golden milk thing I think that's what it's called golden milk here we go it tastes like wait why does it taste like a sweet ball it tastes like very Indian not a lessy but almost like a party to be honest I don't know if I'm like that big of a fan of that golden milk drink but I'm glad I tried it because I have been seeing it on like every menu I'm not sure if it's like a big thing everywhere but I swear in Austin like I've seen it on every coffee shop menu but I'm gonna do some emails I actually just got my first holiday campaign of the season which makes me a little bit anxious because I'm like oh like should I be reaching out to brands like should I wait for them like I just like don't love when brands are so last minute which 90% of the time that's how it happens like they would really email you two weeks before and then they're like okay products gonna get there tomorrow they get the content the next day and like what that's kind of nice that they reached out for holiday partnership but now I'm just like oh my god the holidays are coming like what do I need to do like kind of terrifying I think this year I'll be able to be a little bit more like choosy with the ones I partner with or the brands I partner with so that's really exciting and today I also have to go to the domain which is an outdoor shopping mall here in Austin it's probably like one of our best malls the one I go to like more often is Barton Creek Bart Barton Creek mall right Barton Creek square mall um but filming a brand deal with Missouri so I'm super excited I think they actually sent the jewelry over in my house I might need to check if that actually is here yet because I think I have to have the jewelry before I go in store but they want me to show just like shopping in store and apparently they do piercings there and so they were going to give me a complimentary piercing but I already have like three piercings done I'm just like honestly I don't really need another one nor do I like want to go through like the aftercare of getting a piercing so I'll just like not do that um but I guess I did deliver oh yesterday perfect pulling up to the domain because I'm about to film a brand deal with Missouri I don't have to film like too much and we don't have like that much time to be here um but I just need to like film like a couple clips in store I'm so excited about the pieces that I picked out I went to the package room and I forgot to bring like my key for the actual mailbox it wasn't like in the Amazon locker so I am going to go get it after we um go home but I think I'm going to try to go into Nordstrom too to pick up a birthday gift for someone it's getting so sleepy but I actually had a few emails to reply to I don't know if I told you guys this but this morning I actually had a call with another management agency and we were talking about possible opportunities to work together um the last management agency I interviewed with they were exclusive and so when this management agency replied or like even emailed me the first time I was like oh sorry like I'm not interested like totally cut them off almost like in a nice way but I was like nope I'm good on my own but then they were like well like we also have a non-exclusive opportunity and that means they only take 20% of the brand deals that they pitch for me or they bring to me and so I was like okay this could be something so we had a call today it actually went so good the girl just had the best vibes and that is so important I'm realizing this guys like I like based a lot off of my first impression with someone and she was just like so nice and friendly and bubbly and just all the best vibes so I don't know I'm gonna look into it more she sent over the contract so I'm gonna read that over um but that would also be like a really big help during the holidays too so I'm really considering it but I just got my fashion pass order I literally am so annoyed though their whole shipping thing is just like really annoying so basically when I was doing rent the runway it was before covid so I know they changed the whole packages and like everything is different um because you can't do unlimited with rent the runway but when you would ship a package back right when it was like scanned into FedEx you were able to like pick out your new select but with fashion pass it's not like that so you return it to FedEx and then you wait like a couple of days until you can select your new pieces I think rent the runway has like two day shipping almost like revolving everything like that so their shipping was so fast but fashion pass like you have to pay for expedited shipping or like one day shipping so expedited which is two to three days I believe is like under ten dollars and then like one day pretty much overnight is like almost 30 and what's really annoying is that I actually paid for early check-in this time and I didn't see it on my account so I emailed their support and I was like hey last time I was able to you know pay to get that early check-in like is there any way I can do that again because they added it to my account I was able to do early check-in this was on Monday I believe and then I still had to pay the 30 dollars to get it a day before my event and I'm just like so annoying so not only am I paying for the most expensive um package that they offer which I want to say it's like 139 a month I'm also paying for early check-in and then also like expedited shipping every single time because it's not it never gets here in time for like Thursday Friday Saturday events also the selection literally my first week I was like okay the stuff is cute but like not anything like crazy mind-blowing like oh my god I have to get this this and this like I was literally struggling to pick my four items because I felt like there wasn't enough or maybe it was like two like daytime wedding dress vibes I don't really know so I did get like a couple cute outfits out of it but another issue is that for example if I got my package last Friday I believe so I was able to wear like a going out top one day and then the next day I didn't go out so like I didn't really have many reasons to like wear all the outfits during that weekend but then also like on Sunday I wanted to send it back so I couldn't even wear all the outfits during the week and another thing is that with the fashion past you have to send everything that you get back at once or else they'll charge your card because they think you're gonna purchase that item because you kept it so overall like I definitely think it might be cheaper if you guys are like a shopaholic and always want a new outfit for like events and birthdays and all that kind of stuff especially if you have like one month of just like so much happening it is a great thing to do because you're not spending all that money on a new outfit every single time but I don't know if this is like really sustainable for me like I would rather buy those investment pieces almost so that's where I am with fashion pass I'm not sure if I'll renew and do the next month which reminds me I need to like remind myself to cancel it on time um but maybe I'll do like a second month and then like next month is October and then yeah obviously November and December I'll be home anyways and I'll probably be in like comfy winter outfits so like I don't know if I'll really want to do fashion pass but it might be fun to do fashion pass during the winter because sweaters like I feel like it's great to buy investment pieces for sweaters too but there's always those like fun pattern sweaters that you want to wear and that you don't want to buy because you only wear it for like a short period of time and then like if you buy like a sweater that's like really nice quality with a really fun pattern you can't wear it that much because people will know and that's totally fine if you're an outfit repeater as you can see I still have mixed opinions but I'm still going to link my referral code in the description box in case you guys are interested in trying it out but you get what I mean okay we're gonna do a little try on because event is tomorrow it came up so so soon and I think I'm gonna vlog that whole thing the whole day separately the pieces I picked from fashion pass this week are long floral pastel dresses so let's try them on and we'll see when I end up going with tomorrow here's option when we have a blue floral cutout dress it has like a lot of cutouts and it's giving very much back I don't know if I'll be able to wear like underwear because it's so low but we have an option it fits here's the second dress this one is Amanda Ubrichard which honestly when I saw that it was from that brand I was like I have to try on I feel like every time I see a girl in a really flattering dress it's majority of the time Amanda Ubrichard it is a bit long but this is honestly kind of perfect because the products that we're showcasing at tomorrow's event is pink let's try on the last final outfit also if this is the one I'm going to majorly steam it don't worry thank god I had options because this last one does not fit at all I think I'm leaning towards the pink dress but literally everyone on my instagram poll is voting for the blue dress I think the pink dress will look a lot better once it's steamed but we were gonna go take the paddle board out because Ryan actually got an inflatable paddle board like literally a month before he went home but he left it with me in my car I just been chilling in my car and we were like we should probably use it but then it got time to go and I was like that just sounds like a lot of effort even though he would be doing a lot of effort like pumping it up and paddling and carrying it yeah um so we decided we'll just go on a little walk on Ladybird Lake trail because that's less effort but it's still something we get us active because I feel like I've been staring at my phone for the past few hours which has been like making TikToks and stuff like that um but I'm in my phase where I really like it again um so that's great if you guys want to follow me on TikTok and Instagram it's so underscore gnarly without the G and definitely follow because I'm gonna try to edit and upload this tomorrow on me uh on my event day and yeah I'm gonna post like a lot of stuff from the event on my Instagram story so definitely go check it out here's the fit this hat is from Goren Brothers I got it on South Congress it's their farm collection and I've actually been seeing a lot of people wear these kind of hats there's a lot of other animals and they're just like cool trucker hats I love a good trucker hat then my sports bra is from set active and my shorts are also from set active I'm very excited for this coming Black Friday because I always get like a ton of things from set active and they have honestly been killing it they used to only have like workout sets like this but now they have like sweatsets and all this kind of stuff and we're going to New York in like the end of the year and Ryan was like it's gonna be freezing I was like really? I don't know why I never think it's like cold or I never think it's hot because these New York influencers they wear like whatever they want and even if it's cold like they'll wear like mini skirts and mini dresses and a coat is nowhere to be found in their Instagram stories so I'm like how do these girls do it like it never looks cold so I don't know shall be interesting but I'm also very lucky because I feel like nowadays the athleisure look is a lot more trendy and just like normalize like wearing sneakers and sweatsets and just like trench coats so I feel like we're gonna go for like a cool comfy vibe which was gonna be nice because then I don't have to like try too hard I mean obviously I'm gonna style some outfits but I'm very excited for that she spoiled Sophie she spoiled she was fine no she wasn't we're done with our walk why is this bunk? yeah I'm gonna get some juices and then split the chipotle good and I got the Pleasant Valley that's really refreshing very watermelon-y I try yours I got frosty but protein-y
