 Welcome to another vlog. We're on a little walk in September 1st. So we were like, let's go get a PSL. It's been out for like a week, but or maybe more than that, but also I had COVID and it just wasn't really in the mood for August, but now that it's September, I got it with no whipped cream, oat milk decaf. Very sweet. I'm not gonna be able to drink the whole thing, but it is very tasty. All right, we're in the car. I am eating a yogurt at every red light and I'm headed to the nail salon. I haven't gotten my nails done in I think a month and they are looking tragic. I usually get them done every three weeks and like by the three weeks, since my nails grow kind of fast, like they're ready to go. So we're gonna get this fixed first and foremost. Let's do it. That awful feeling when you're walking into your nail appointment and you realize you left your phone at home. So you have nothing to listen to or do while you get your nails done. Not a bad view to park and get your nails done. Pretty amazing. I love living here. Just finished at the nail salon. Oh my God. Why is getting your nails done like so mentally taxing? Like you're just sitting there like, I mean for me anyway, it's torture. It's not for fun. It's not like a relaxing thing for me. I am on edge every second of that appointment, but I love having my nails done. And actually I had a new guy this time and he was lovely and we chatted the whole time. So it was great. Anyways, I went for kind of like a, like it's pretty ugly. It's a pretty ugly chartreuse greenish color, but I actually really, really like it. And this green is definitely like my hyper fixation at the moment. It's just like, it's such a cute color. Are you kidding? Anyway, I don't have a phone. So I probably shouldn't be out too long. I'm gonna head home and then see what else we get up to today. It's a leash. I'll find a little walkies. I'm gonna go back to our umbrellas because it was raining a little. It's been a weekend of walking so far. And I'm loving it. We're back home from our coffee date. That was lovely. And now we're getting ready to go to Trader Joe's. Oh, we're not gonna look at that. That doesn't exist when this door is closed. But we do need a couple things and just like some groceries in general. We're gonna head to Trader Joe's. I've got my wrestling outfit on today. You're gonna rassler. She's a rassler. This little bodysuit thingy is from Old Navy and it's so comfy. And then I have this in case it gets chilly because it's raining today, which is so random. Started raining, I don't know, early this morning. It actually woke me up. And then I've got my long sleeve little thing. This is from Old Navy as well. And then my new balance is then we're ready to go. My outfit. Oh, sorry. My God. Show us your OOT. I got this shirt from Etsy. I think, no, I didn't. I think they go on Etsy, I like. I think it was like a TikTok store. Oh, okay, cute. Nike shorts. Uh-huh. Converse. White socks. Hat from your grandpa? No, this is the one we found at the 1-1-13 Sun City. Oh, we thrifted that, JK. So anyway, that is what we're up to. I did end up just spending the entire rest of the day yesterday editing. I just really needed to catch up on a lot of stuff because as you saw in like previous vlogs, I've been doing a ton of filming. So now I'm like in the editing process. So, all right. To TJ's, we go. TJ's haul. I'm gonna make it quick this time because I'm freaking. Oh, I want to eat. First things first, even though it's literally gonna be like 100 degrees next week, it feels like fall today because it's raining, it's cozy. It's not cold, but it's raining. So we decided to get some like fall colored flowers, which are gonna look very weird once it gets up to like 100 degrees, but these are so pretty. I think these were mums and then these are- Dottees. Dottees, I believe. Okay, speed round for the cold stuff. We got some wine. This was just, we had nowhere left to put this stuff. We got a Malbec Trader Joe has a Petnat wine for like 11.99 or something, which felt like a really good price. Yeah, we'll be the judge of that. And then a Sauvignon Blanc. We got eggs. We have plum cots, which is a plum apricot hybrid. Are you too far away? I'm gonna scoot you closer. Like I'm fine. Just felt like you were too far away. Okay, frozen garlic, this stuff is amazing to cook with because you just like pop it out of the little plastic. So you just, and they're already ready to go and you keep it in the freezer. Don't drop it in hot oil though. Oh yeah, bad idea. Good day. I got these kukes with a queue and they're teeny tiny cucumbers. I'm sorry. Little baby cucumbers. That's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Got some spinach for my smoothies in the morning. We got some little gem lettuce, which I think is perfect for salads. And then also just like to have on sandwiches, whatever. Got some green beans. One of the best things at Trader Joe's is their vegan kale, ketchup, and basil pesto. It's so freaking good. Apple smoked bacon. We're gonna be eating that momentarily, I think. We got this marinated bulgogi. And I've seen a lot of this on TikTok. We love the marinated meats from Trader Joe's. They're so easy to just like put together with like a starch, a vegetable, and then you have an easy dinner. So we might do a little rice bowl with this, not 100% sure, but that looks amazing. We got some pesto chicken breast again, just to like throw together and have for our next meal. Got some ground turkey. We got some cod. Usually we do like a miso glazed salmon, but I've seen a couple of people do like a miso glazed cod. I don't think I've ever had cod, apart from like fish and chips. So excited to try that. We got three of the cheddar cheese and bacon egg bites. Drew likes these now. So raspberries. We got some kimchi. We like trying all different kinds of kimchi. Obviously the best kimchi is from H Mart that we've had, but they also have this one. So we're gonna try that. We'll see. We got one single Icelandic yogurt. Drew's gonna try the frozen peach thing, so he's excited about that. We got some carne asada. So just marinated carne asada. I got this lemon pepper chicken breast. I thought this would be good to just cut up and put in my salads throughout the week. I think I have until like Wednesday or Thursday. I'm gonna eat that. Frozen hash browns, the best thing. One of the like top things from Trader Joe's, just stick them in there. That's prior blessing. I'm sorry. Drew really wanted to try these. They're mini cheeseburgers. They're essentially like, if you're from the south, you know like white castle crystal, all that good stuff, but Trader Joe's has their own version now. But he was like, he didn't want to try those. Like those look really good. So we're gonna go with that. Sweet potato gnocchi in my top five of all time. Apple juice, Drew is addicted to this stuff. They're frozen rice. It's so clutch to have. You're like, forgot to make rice and you need to throw something in the microwave for three minutes and be done. Last time we got the creamsicle popsicles and they were out this time, which Drew's very upset about, but he got the ruby or float ones to try. So one more back. He did. I have ordered for him. He's very upset. And then I got these bull de cone. They're just like the little mini ice cream cones. But I got chocolate this time. Oh, why not? All right, we're getting there with two more bags. This is basically like our produce bag. We have Campari tomatoes. These look so red and red, but our little tomatoes on our plant are not anywhere close to done. So it's fine. We've got a lot of summer left. Baby carrots, strawberries, two nectarines, two limes, red onion, shitload of bananas, two more limes, a bell pepper, garlic, teeny tiny avocados, because they're just so cute. Cotton candy grapes, because it's the season. It's the season. Yeah, it's the season. Broccoli, baby Yukon Gold potatoes. Got a couple of leeks, because we're going to do some potato leeks too. A little tiny baby spaghetti squash, which is going to be so cute. Celery, dill pickle chips. They were out of the other chips that we showed in the last haul, which were like barbecue, ketchup, pickle, yeah. Got a bunch of these little fruit leathers. Apple raspberry, apple wild berry, and apple strawberry. They're so good. Sweet onions, dark chocolate mini pretzels. I would like some of those right now. Oh my goodness. Teriyaki turkey jerky, sun-dried tomatoes, black beans, goddess dressing, ketchup, which usually I'm a hind, aren't I? So I don't know, we'll see about that. Avocado oil cooking spray, crushed red pepper, and last but not least, Drew's favorite, his English crumpets. And that is all. That's our Trader Joe's haul. Now I'm starving, so we're going to make like some brunch or something. Also forgot to show our spicy water for the week, which is raspberry life. Is there anything better than this? No, there is not. All right, here we have it. We've got a hash brown with avocado cottage cheese and hot honey with like salt and pepper and seasonings. Got some eggs, I'll put some hot sauce on those. Got some bacon and got some fruit. I'm starving, goodbye. Good morning. It is the next day. Yesterday was a day just of laundry. We actually did all of our laundry in one day, which we hadn't done our laundry in like two weeks because like my mom was here, I opened it all up and stuff. But surprisingly, we got everything done in one day. But we just went and ran to the grocery store and got a couple of things because today we were doing like a fun little, we're pretending it's fall, essentially. Because you know, it rained yesterday, it's like kind of nice and cloudy today. So our friends are coming over, our friends Josh and Noel and we're doing basically like a fall, like a pretend fall day. So we're gonna like bust out the fall candles. We're gonna make a pot roast. We're gonna watch, you know, cozy movies, things like that. So we had to go to the grocery store and get like a piece of meat for the pot roast. I also got some turkey bark. I'm gonna put those first things first. We're gonna start our pan. We also got a baguette, I'll do that on the side. I literally rolled out of bed, put some leggings on, I wore the shirt to sleep last night. That's kind of where we're at at the moment. We got to find our crock-box. Where the hell is that thing? Oh, you know where it is? Okay. There she goes. This is a very strange smell to have in my kitchen at 9.16 in the morning. But, sorry. I also forgot to show this. Drew just reminded me. Look at this tiny little tahini. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my entire life and I saw it at the grocery store and I bought it. Do I need it for anything? No, I think we have a big one, but I just need it. It's tiny and it's really cute. Then she goes. The recipe calls for fresh rosemary and thyme, so obviously we have it now. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that we have a caterpillar invasion and this little caterpillar is busy. At first we thought maybe it was like from the rain, but then it started spreading over and over and over. So a lot of you gave some good tips. We bought some neem oil to spray on this and it's coming today. A lot of you may not know this, but Drew actually used to have a huge garden. If I can find any pictures, I'll insert them here, but it was literally massive. You grew everything. Watermelons. Like everything. Yeah, and he did it for years, probably like three or four years. But anyways, we're gonna cut some herbs. Hopefully spray these bad boys and get rid of our freaking caterpillars, although they were kind of cute. And then we're gonna put them in our pot. We're also gonna do some carrots and celery. I don't know how many to do for people. So we'll just like figure it out. I guess a lot of veggies is never a bad thing. I personally love veggies in a pot roast and this is like a lot of meat. Celery is more just for aromatic purposes and then we'll do a whole onion. I'm just gonna chop the onion in half and then put it in because it separates anyways, but you're more than welcome to slice it if that's your vibe. One half and the other half. And then we're doing low sodium beef broth because we're also gonna be adding a packet of seasoning. Then we're gonna add a packet of onion soup mix. This is like an OG, like I feel like everybody used to do this. And then we're gonna add a little bit of wine as well. Why not? For the seasonings, yeah, we're doing the onion soup packet, rosemary, thyme and a bay leaf. And then garlic, right? Yeah. We'll add about a cup of red wine. I've never done red wine in a pot roast before only beef stew, so we'll see how that is. And then we're done in our garlic and we're done. Now we put the lid on, put everything in there. It looks amazed and it's on low for eight hours. So we'll see you then. We'll take some of the broth out and then like thicken it afterwards. And that's how this recipe goes. But now it is coffee time and we're making some brown sugar oat milk shaking espresso's. In case you haven't seen it, this is like a Starbucks sort of dupe. I mean, it's not exact, but it's still pretty dang good, honestly. I'm not gonna shake mine because I don't wanna shake it in the ass, but I just stir it. It's a stir-d espresso. Then you add your oat milk and your ice and it's delicious. Yeah, great, perfect. Cheers. I mean, no one here is good at Starbucks, but it's still very good. All right, I'm gonna drink this, eat some breakfast and then take a shower. Much later, it's literally like after 6 p.m. now. We cleaned our entire apartment. I took a shower, we chilled for a very long time. It was a very relaxing Sunday. And now we are going to check on the pot roast. We're gonna make the gravy and then potentially start the mashed potatoes because that's one thing I forgot to mention is I feel like the best way to eat a pot roast is over mashed potatoes instead of having the potatoes in the pot roast itself because I don't know, sometimes they get mealy and just kinda gross. So, let's see where we're at with this pot roast. So here we go, it's eight hours later. Oh my God, it looks so good. So I think we're gonna like take this stuff out, make like a gravy and then like shred the beef and put it back in, do all that good stuff. First fall candle of the season, you can definitely tell this is left over from last year and will probably be one of the last burns, but hey, it's a good one. I'm excited either way. We also have to set the vibe, so definitely need some like fall ambience happening. This sounds good. Oh yeah, that's the one. All right, we're pretty much all caught up and we have the gravy done, the mashed potatoes are boiling or the potatoes are boiling. We're shredding all the beef and actually side note, the whole onion thing didn't really work. We kinda had to cut it. Last time we did it, it like all fell apart but this time we just kinda have to shred it and we have never tried this recipe before so it's kind of nerve-wracking. Oh, hello, you have something to say? What do you have to say? You want your friends to get here? They're coming. Yeah. Anyway, so we'll see how that ends up going. I'm wearing this like old hoodie that I got from the Goodwill bins and I sewed the, or not sewed. I like ironed on these letters and this patch. It's like all falling off. I think I made it in like 2019 and I'm just wearing my Lulu lemon bike shorts and my cozy socks. It's really hot in this kitchen because we don't get any central air in here but I cranked the AC down in the rest of the house to give the fall vibe. So we've got the candle, got the ambiance, got the food and now I think it's time for a drinky drink. Our friends are bringing over October Fest and then we've also got like some wine and some cocktails and things like that so. Oh, by the way, I decided to do a brown eyeliner today and I really like it. Anyway, let's party. Cute, cheers. All right, we're watching Harry Potter. We have all of our cute little snacks. We finished dinner. We're doing some October Fest and Noelle is gonna read the rules to the drinking game that we will be playing. Josh and I play this drinking game every year so we're just introducing Harry to do it. Yes, we're excited. Okay, drink one time if someone says Harry. Okay. Harry's scar is mentioned. Hermione raises her hand or reads a book. Ron yells bloody hell or blimey. Voldemort is mentioned. A quidditch goal is scored. Drink two times if Malfoy acts pompous, oh God. Oh, okay and this is the first movie that we're fucked. We're gonna be very drunk by the end of this. Hagrid says, I should not have said that. Argus Filch is on screen. Someone says Harry has his mother's eyes. Three times if, honestly, we just drink once each time. Right, okay. Sometimes if Hermione corrects, Ron, a painting talks. Something explodes around Seamus Finnegan. Neville Longbottom forgets something and you're supposed to take a shot if the sorcerer's stone is mentioned. Uh-oh. Well, we are watching the first movie so here we go. You ready, Moe? All right, it's like 11 p.m. We did have a couple drinks. I'm not gonna lie. And now we're gonna go to bed. So even though I wanted to film more of this tonight, I was just in the moment and just decided to put my camera down and enjoy it. But we played like a little Harry Potter drinking game. It was really fun and enjoyed our dinner and just chilled. And it was like the perfect fall night. We truly had such a good time. So now I'm gonna wash my face, brush my teeth and go to bed. Tomorrow is a holiday, which is good. So we have an extra weekend day and I'm very happy about that. We have tons of pot roast left over. So that'll be nice to enjoy for the next couple of days. And yeah, thank you so much for being here and I will see you very soon in the next vlog. Bye.
