 Good morning everybody, welcome back to another vlog. It is Wednesday morning and we got back from Laguna on Tuesday yesterday and we just had a day where we were incapacitated. No, but we just genuinely like went so hard over the weekend and then had a Disney day to cap it off. So it was just like a lot. But we're back and I am a little out of breath cause I'm walking quickly. I just parked my car and I'm walking to a sample sale at Reformation. I don't know if this is gonna end up being some clips in this vlog or if it's gonna be a full main channel video. It depends on the inventory and what they have and stuff but we're gonna head over there, see what they've got. I did a little messy bun this morning. That was like a super viral on TikTok moment from a creator named Delaney Childs I think. And I tested it out for a main channel video. So I already filmed that. I'm out of breath cause I'm walking briskly in Doc Martens nonetheless. It's okay, I'll survive. So anyway, we're gonna go check out this sample sale and see what's up, see what they have to offer. So let's do it. This is a good spot, not really. Good morning, it is a few days later, quite a few days later now. I think it's like five or so days later but it is Sunday morning. We're getting ready to do our Sunday morning routine. We're gonna walk and get some coffee, possibly walk to the park, walk to the farmer's market. I think we need some flowers and like some veggies and stuff for the week. I think we have enough like meat and stuff in the freezer but we will probably need to place a grocery order later or go to Trader Joe's or something but our laundry is going. I just put on a cute little outfit, like a cozy casual outfit. Those are my favorites and we're gonna head out on our walk. But I thought I would pick up this vlog again. I desperately need to clean this mirror. Every time I show an outfit in this mirror, I'm like woof, but here we go. We are not gonna talk about how I desperately need to iron or steam this sweatshirt. I like washed it and folded it but this is what it looks like. It is extremely wrinkly, that's okay. I found this sweatshirt at a thrift store in Tokyo and I can't remember if I said this but one time I was walking Layla outside, obviously months ago before she passed and someone was walking by and they said, what's your affiliation with Cornell? And I wanted to be like Andy Bernard. That's why I bought this sweatshirt but really I was just like, oh I just found it at a thrift store in Tokyo for like $20 and he was like, well I can guarantee my son's undergraduate at Cornell cost more than that. And I was just like, okay, have a good day. Anyway, love that story. These flare leggings are from Aerie. My shoes are from ASOS. I decided to do a little pink and red moment and my hat is from Free People. I'm doing a Free People video, I think on my main channel I ordered a few bits so we're gonna do that soon. I'm gonna clean this mirror today. We need to clean our apartment. We were away last weekend, leading up into Monday and I feel like I just haven't fully recovered. I got back into like work and I got all my work stuff done but just like life stuff has kind of fallen to the wayside and I don't know if you're ever like that but I just can't seem to balance both. It's either like life is on track, personal life stuff or like work is on track. So I'm gonna try to make that happen today and just feel like I'm in a nice clean space. I'm ahead on things, you know what I mean? So anyway, okay, enough talking, let's go get coffee. Oh, the lens. I just filmed a taste test of this strawberry matcha. Wasn't recording the whole time but it's delicious. Tastes like strawberry milk, what more could you want? But I'm always and forever a plain decaf iced oat latte girly. It hits every time. Ooh, look at the sun. So pretty. I bought a sinking down and. All right, we are back from the farmer's market and got just a few little things. Really, we just went for fun. Like none of this stuff. We get most of our groceries at the grocery store but they have really beautiful flowers. So we got this bouquet of flowers that has like some Cala lilies, lilies, sunflowers. I'm gonna put these away. I still have my anniversary flowers. I don't think I showed them in a vlog but Drew got me the most beautiful bouquet. Are you joking? These are stunning. I just love all the colors. There's so many like pinks and oranges and then we have like these little thistles. So cute. And those are still going strong but like you can never have too many flowers and just something about farmer's market flowers just hits. Hello. They don't last as long as Trader Joe's flowers literally last up two weeks. It was the best day of my life because Harry's berries are back. They're the best berries in the entire world. If you're ever visiting LA and it's a Sunday and you go to a farmer's market where they have Harry's berries, get them immediately. I don't know how to describe it. These are like almost black. Like they're so dark red and they're just like the softest, juiciest, best flavored strawberries you'll ever have in your life. It is $14 for this pint of strawberries. It's so worth it. We only get it like maybe once a quarter at this point. I got some lemons and I thought I would make a lemonade. What about a Meyer lemon? Drew likes to make fun of the people at the farmer's market. Like I'm what kind of lemons are these? Are they Meyer? It's like they're lemons. I got some lemons to make some lemonade and I thought it'd be fun to try like a passion fruit lemonade or maybe make these into a cocktail. I'm not really like in my cocktail era at the moment. So maybe I'll make like a passion fruit lemonade. I'm not sure, but we got two passion fruits and some lemons. So we'll see what we end up doing with those. We got two bundles of baby broccoli or broccolini. And then finally we got some blood orange juice which I've never had before. The lady was really selling us on this. Yeah, she was also trying to sell us on, it was called cocktail and it was like grapefruit and orange but we're not really grapefruit people. She was like, no, you'll love it. I like grapefruit, Drew doesn't, but I was like, I would rather have just like the good orange. And I wanted to go for the classic and she was like, you have to try the blood orange. So she sold me on it. I'm gonna try it right now actually, but I need, it's not that cold. So I need to put some ice in it. Which feels kind of weird for orange juice, but it's fine. Okay, so we're gonna try it. Gotta shake it up. I'm so curious about this. And it is, it is bloody. Okay, here we go. Cheers. She wasn't kidding about the tang. Less sweet than tangy for sure. Well, it's good. It's just very, very tart. I'm gonna give it like a five out of 10. I should have just got classic, but that's okay. Still really good. I'm not sure if it's allergies, but I did feel like a tiny tickle in my throat this morning. So I'm gonna use all the vitamin C I can get. So I will drink this whole thing. At some point today. Yeah, try it. It's very tart. Give us your thoughts. This man will be honest. I'll tell you that much. It's kind of bland. Yeah, it's very tart. I'm not a big kind of orange juice to begin with, so. You're a bad judge. Yeah, I don't know. Very tangy. I thought I was gonna be a sneeter. I don't know why. No, same. All right, time to make breakfast. So sadly, increasingly disappointed by this juice that I want orange juice. Like I'm creating it really bad now. And I remembered that I have this thing of cuties, like the little clementines, that have been sitting in the fridge for like probably a month at this point. And so I'm going to make orange juice out of them. This knife is terrible. I need a better knife. But I have my little lime squeezer, and it's probably gonna take all of these to make even the tiniest amount of juice. But I don't care. I want a glass of orange juice, like really good, sweet orange juice, really, really bad. So, what's it gonna do? Enjoy watching me squeeze about 10 to 15 of these little things. Okay, it didn't give me much, but honestly, that's all I need because I had quite a bit of that other one anyway. So we're gonna taste test it. Cheers. Cutie juice. Now that's what I'm talking about. That's what I wanted. Oh my God, I'm gonna savor every drop. Yes. Oh my God, it's like the best orange juice I've ever had. It's so delicious. All right, it's a couple of hours later. It's like one PM now. We finished while Drew is just finishing up, cleaning the apartment. He forgot to vacuum one little area. So we cleaned the bathrooms, the kitchen. I used my little scrubby brush thing on the shower. I love that thing. I talked about it in a main channel video recently. And now I don't usually work on Sundays, but I'm doing just a little bit of like editing work because I am gonna, I don't, I'm not sure if this is gonna matter or not, but basically I'm getting my eyebrows microbladed on Tuesday. And I'm going to like a really good place in LA, hopefully God, they have like amazing reviews. It's really hard to get in. And I actually put myself on a cancellations list and they had a cancellation, so I was able to get it. And so it's much more of like a natural. It's not like how it used to be, you know, you would just basically like tattoo your entire brow. It's more of like hair-like strokes, like very, very light natural. So I'm excited about that. But anyways, I don't think I can, I don't know what the healing process is gonna be like. I've always heard like horror stories. Like it takes weeks and I'm not allowed to work out. So basically I'm just trying to like get as many work things done as possible because, and tomorrow's gonna be a crazy filming day because I just don't know how long it's gonna be until I'm gonna be able to be on camera. I'll obviously vlog it before like main channel videos and stuff. So I think I'm gonna try to get ahead on some work, maybe possibly, although it is sunny. And I really wanna chill. It's so weird, it was beautiful and perfectly sunny and now there are gray clouds everywhere and I think it might actually rain. It poured rain yesterday. I was actually living my best life. We had all the windows open. We literally laid in bed until like noon, just listening to it. It was iconic. Anyway, I'm gonna do like a couple little work things. We'll chill for a bit and then catch up in a little while. I think I'll start somewhere. Even if you gotta do pushups against the wall, that's fine. Hello, it's the next day. It's Monday morning. I just finished my workout, my shower, washed my hair, blow dried it, styled it, redid my DIY like eyelash extension things. They're from Flutter Habit, by the way. And wow, that was exhausting. It's business as usual, filming main channel stuff. I have my pajama pants on the bottom and a normal shirt on top. I have these cute little earrings that I got from, I think they're called, I think it's called en route and route, depending on how you say it. And these have cute little bows with hearts on them. So I'm wearing those. Might throw on a pair of glasses for the video, not sure. And I decided to do a very me circa 2013 hairstyle. And I love it. If you watch my main channel, then you'll have seen that I uploaded a video where I reacted to like a bunch of my old photos. And I was like, wait, why did I stop wearing braids in my hair? Like, that's so cute. I did a lot of the sort of like braided bangs down in the front. I can't do that right now because my bangs are too short, but I was like, let's try it. And I kind of love it. So just a reminder to wear whatever you want, wear your hair however you want, wear whatever feels comfortable to you, feels authentic to you, whatever you gotta do. I'm feeling it. I think it's really cute. I'm gonna give an eye update because it has now been three weeks. Since I've had this red dot on my eye, I'm pretty sure it was from sneezing really hard, which is like a fun thing. It's just the thing that happens as you get older. Just things start acting funny. But okay, so here we are three weeks in. This is the update. That's terrifying, I'm sorry. But it's just kind of like now on the outside, it is fading a lot. Like I would be a little concerned because it has been three weeks since the first day I woke up and noticed it. I would be more concerned if it wasn't like fading and like moving, but it's definitely fading. So it's gonna go away, it's just annoying. So anyway, that's my Monday morning check-in. I am going to film a main channel video because like I said yesterday, I'm trying to get ahead. Let me know if you think me talking about, I'm kind of taking you through my day in these vlogs, but let me know if like talking about my main channel stuff is really boring, because then I won't obviously. But yeah, that is what is going on in my world. I just set my vlog live, my anniversary vlog, which is so sweet, I love it so much. It makes me so happy. I posted an Instagram reel and now I'm filming a main channel video. So we're doing it, we're doing the things. I'm having one of those mornings where I'm just like, I can't believe this is my job. Like I can't believe that this is what I do for work and I'm just so grateful. And it's because of all of you. It's literally because of all of you and I could not be more appreciative for you. So just thank you so much if you're taking the time out of your day to watch this. Just truly know that not a single day goes by where I'm not like, what the heck? What the heck? These are the greatest people in the entire world. Anyway, I'm going to film this video and then maybe we'll make some lunch. I have groceries coming soon. You know, all the Monday things. All right, we're taking a little lunch break. It's one o'clock. I'm making the Trader Joe's like soup dumplings, not the ones that were recalled. I don't, controversial. If you've like heard of all the girlies talking about the Trader Joe's soup dumplings, they're really good, but I don't like them just like out of the microwave. But I don't really like the soup part of it. It's not my fave. I like Xiao Long Bao. Like when we go to Tintai Fung. Don't be crazy, but I don't like store-bought dessert. No one's going to know what that is. You're always giving like your internet reference in the background or like a deep TikTok reference. But anyway, so I microwaved them as usual and then instead of just eating them like this, you put them in a pan, like an oiled pan, and then they kind of get crispy like a pot sticker type of vibe. That's how we're going to do it. So I heated up my pan over here with a little bit of cooking spray. Drew is making his leftover spaghetti for lunch. So we've got quite a variety of flavors going on here. And then I'm going to put these in the pan when it's warm. I'll show you what it looks like. And I'm still going to do all of the like soy sauce, sriracha, those two people put on it, like chili crunch, I think? So we'll try that. So I'm going to put these in my pan. Beautiful. Most of that is the soup cooking off. Sorry for the soup lard. I wanted to add a little something extra on the side. So I remembered I had some Trader Joe's frozen, like cauliflower, rice, like stir fry. I think it's going to be kind of good. We'll see. Oh yeah. You're flipping that. You grab that, we show it. She's flipping. Sick camera work. Yes. How does it feel to be a professional chef? Really amazing. It feels really good to be better than everyone. Yeah, yeah. I am a Capricorn, so I'm better than everyone. She's better than you. Okay, honestly, it looks pretty good. Sometimes it looks like scallops, which is interesting. It's just like the pan seared thing. So okay, I'm going to do a drizzle of soy sauce over the top so we get that good flavor. Was that a lot? Yeah, it was. That's okay. We're going to do a little dollop of sriracha on each one. Cute, okay. And then we're going to do some Trader Joe's onion chili crunch or something like that. We also have the fly-by-ching one. I alternate between both, but since this is a Trader Joe's one, I'm going to put the Trader Joe's crunchy bits. And then just for funsies, I'll add some fruit hockey. Why not? Just to add a little razzle-dazzle. That doesn't all look bad. For like a quick, what, five minute meal? Well, like that looks pretty good. So okay, let's do a taste test together. Of course, just as I sat down to eat our grocery order got delivered, because that's how it goes. So I'll show you what we got. Little grocery haul. Instead of eight bananas, they gave us a shot. No, I find it accidentally. It's your card, you have to say how many you want. But I think I said eight because I was thinking, oh, I want eight bananas. Banana is on fresh, it's a bundle. Good thing I eat a frozen banana, like two of them a day early. I blow myself away sometimes. I was joking, but I think I did this. Are there more? No. More bananas. I think that's it. More bananas. Are there more in there? Lovely. I cannot believe I did this. Whoa, I'm going to reframe it. What an iconic thing to do. That was absolutely iconic legendary behavior. Absolute icon. Okay. We've got one, two, three, four. Who would like it? So please let me know if you'd like them. Oh my God. Let's do a quick little grocery haul. We got some oat milk. They were out of our usual, so we have that for our coffees. Drew has Yakult every single day. This is like a Japanese probiotic yogurt drink thing. I got some Profict bars. These are like one of my favorite protein bars that don't have like protein powder. I think it just has like egg powder or something like that and like peanut butter and it tastes like cookie dough to me. I love it. We got some tortilla strips to have for cockables. We're actually going to make those tonight. We got some more turkey breast. I love like a honey roasted turkey breast. So we got that. I got some balanced breaks. These are just so nice to have in the fridge. They're easy to just like grab and go. So this one has cashews, cheddar and craisins. Got some almond milk. I have this in my smoothies every day and we use it for like cereal and stuff. We got some celery, some grapes. I was in the mood for some red grapes, some Brussels sprouts, because we forgot to get them in the farmer's market as well as zucchini and squash. And we didn't get any like meats or proteins really this week. We have a ton of stuff in our freezer already and oh, there's another bag there. We have like some bunch of stuff that we need to get through. We got some iceberg lettuce for talkable wraps, things like that. We got some green beans. These last a while in the fridge so that's good. We got tortillas and sweet potatoes. These fricking poppables are so heavenly. We tried them at my mom's when we were back in Arizona a few weeks ago and we've become obsessed. This is like now our third, second and third bag. No, third and fourth bag we bought. The sea salt is incredible. The cheddar is really good and now we're gonna try the salt and vinegar too. So excited about that. What else do we got? We got some Parmesan cheese. I'm gonna do like a Parmesan cheese, crispy Brussels sprout situation. We got some plain Greek yogurt. Got some cherry flavored sparkling water. This is what Drew likes. We got some hip water. This is so fricking good. I love this and I saw someone on Instagram that I follow the other day working with them. So I'm like, if you wanna work with me please hit me up immediately. We got a can of black beans. We got one avocado. This is the best cheese ever. This is the Dubliner cheese from, what is it called again? Kerrygold, that's so good. Got some puddings for Drew. These are like the vanilla chocolate ones. We got some distilled water for our ice machine and then this last bag. Don't even know what's in here. Ooh, we got these cauliflower. These are like a spicy chicken tender but I think the breading is made with like olive oil or something. I don't know, they're just really good. You can throw them in the air fryer and you're good to go. And then we also have, oh my gosh. Oh yes, my truefru. They only have them in the little boxes right now. Like I prefer the bag, obviously. But the dark chocolate raspberry is my jam. We also have the peanut butter milk chocolate ones. And the fridge freezer. And then last but not least, ooh, I wanted to try these. These are dove mini sticks. It's a raspberry sorbet dipped in dark chocolate. So we got a lot of raspberry and chocolate going on at the moment. So anyway, that is our freaking grocery haul where I accidentally bought eight bundles of bananas. I have never done that before but it's also kind of iconic. So we love to see it. Okay, I'm gonna put this cold stuff away, reheat my lunch, and then we're gonna do a taste test. I'm going to sit here with the bananas in the background so I can really think about what I've done. But okay, we've got the lunch. And we're gonna try it out. I think I'm just gonna stick this whole thing in my mouth. Let's do it. Cheers. That is divine. If you haven't tried that with the Trader Joe's soup dumplings, you have to try it. It's so, so good. Yes, I am back on Diet Coke. I don't wanna talk about it. All right, it's much later. It is like 5 p.m. I have been doing a little more filming. I packaged a bunch of like returns and things that need to go back. And I also have gotten started on quite a bit of editing and I'm sitting here with my little lamp on my desk because at certain times of day, this lighting in this office gets really harsh. So I have the curtains closed right now. And I was like, oh, I hate like overhead lighting. It's my least favorite thing ever. I have my studio lights in here, but that's not a vibe. So Drew came in here and brought me my little lamp, which is so cute. I love these battery-powered lamps. I literally use them. Like I take them with me from room to room. And I just thought it was so sweet that he brought that lamp in here. But anyways, I'm gonna wrap up this vlog here because I have gabbed enough. We've been yapping today. I hope you've enjoyed it. There's been a couple of different grocery hauls. There's been, you know, eight bundles of bananas purchased. I believe Drew counted them and it was like 50-something bananas. And I was like, well, how many bananas are in banana bread? And Drew was like, I think like three or four. So we're gonna make some banana bread. I'm gonna make banana ice cream for desserts for the week. So I'll freeze them. And I also froze, like I think three of the bundles already, like the most yellow ones. It's hilarious. So thank you so much for watching this vlog. Thanks for hanging out with me sort of like over the weekend, over a few sporadic days in my life. And I will see you very soon in the next vlog. Bye.
