I'm officially out of paper towels It's literally like the worst thing to ever happen to me really need to get some of those I don't have a mask currently so I can't really leave my house. Well. I can leave my house I just can't go to the grocery store and stuff. Um, I have one on the way, but it's not here Anyways, um, I just wanted to show you guys. I am obsessed with these Chobani Greek yogurt the coconut blended So good. I will just throw in either mango or like blueberry and then some honey And this is what I'll have for breakfast. It's amazing. So this is basically this might go to breakfast I'm having a super late breakfast. I'm actually making lunch, but I just wanted to make a little appetizer Anyways, it's so good. All right guys. I just made what looks like the best lunch ever I saw the Sun Margos Instagram story last week and I strange shot it but chickpeas, which I love chickpeas Which is what drew me to this recipe cut up grapefruit avocado olive oil and then just salt and pepper But super healthy and it looks so good. Anyways, this looks so good. There's also juice from a lemon on I don't think I set that before but it literally looks amazing. All right guys I'm watching my family dog right now if you hear her in the background, but um, I have a making cold brew or like ice coffee at Home basically and a lot of you has been asking first off this coconut almond milk blend is Absolutely incredible, but what I'll do is I'll just buy a cold brew. I know I really like chameleon cold brew I haven't had this exact one, but I just know that I like chameleon So I got this I got like a small one before whatever and then I just pour this and then I pour this in So that's literally all I do. This is what I've been having for my iced coffee at home. It's incredible I know this is so self-explanatory, but I really like it when people are like this is exactly what I do Especially with coffee And I've just been getting so many questions about on Instagram This is my first time using this cold beer, so I'm not like vouching for this But this stuff this is amazing and then I'll just add some of this amazing milk And that's pretty much it. It's so good though. All right guys. I'm currently doing an at-home facial Drinking it like over it takes me so much longer to drink cold brew because this is like really something But anyways, I'm actually filming some Instagram stories For a brand with the spatial so I leave it on for 30 minutes. It just makes your skin like Literally glow. You look so good at the end of it So I'm really excited in case you guys cared if you guys want to do like an at-home facial Instagram stories. I have a really good deal, but yeah, this is really great I'm just gonna sit here drink my cold brew and maybe read a book You know when you finish a really good book depressed and then you're like so sad because you don't know What else to read because nothing will ever top that book. That's how I feel about the last Mrs. Parish. Okay, so I'm looking at new books to read. I think I'm gonna go with the last time I saw you This is the same author as last time last mrs. Parish It's a little of Constantine. Anyways, this looks really good. So I'm actually I think going to pick this book up I'm really excited This is what my skin looks like right now a Little bit crazy if I do say so myself. I have I think 15 minutes after this facial But I'm really excited. I just got a few very exciting packages The first one is from outro voices. So I got these cute little Shorter biker shorts that I thought were adorable and then this white t-shirt. That's amazing quality. I Also got a new set. I'm so excited. They were kind enough to send this to me. These are my favorite sweatpants in this green color I actually haven't ever seen a crew in this color Super fun for spring and then Just the cropped hoodie, which it's not cropped, but it's like not super long It's pretty thin too, which I feel like it's gonna be perfect for Spring so I'm really excited for these and then I also got this cute I haven't even read the note yet, which I'm so excited for but this is the Instagram Seriously so freaking it kind of them, but she tie dyed me a crew neck Which I don't have any tie dye and I feel like I didn't really fit it with everyone until like I got this Honestly, so I'm probably gonna throw this song because I just think it's super cute Thank you so much. I apologize that this is so backlit guys, but this is the only way I can set you guys up I'm drinking my coffee On top of finishing my rooftop. Hopefully today. I just got coffee on my sweatpants. You've got to be joking Um, I will be video planning. So is it 4 p.m. Yes, and I'm drinking this cold brew Which is gonna make me stay like so late, but I did get a new book So I think it'll be okay. I dice an air wrap has come in. I'm so excited for this. You're very pricey, and I really couldn't get myself To spend the full Thing become oh my gosh, I Couldn't get myself to spend Full price on this just because I already have the hair dryer And I just really really wanted this and then I told myself if it ever goes on sale then If it ever goes on sale, then I would buy it and I finally got it guys I'm so excited. So it did go on sale. I got on a Nordstrom rack refurbished. I'll have it linked down below I'll have the main one linked and then I'm also gonna have The I wonder what size I was just watching does he perk in tutorial on this? I also am gonna have and see if it's still refurbished What what are even the differences between this guys? great Cuz I'm literally so excited so I'm gonna go shy right now so that I can do my hair because that is how Excited about this. I am so this is originally six hundred dollars I know that's really expensive with Dyson quality is like next level and this will last for forever Also keep in mind. It's like so many tools in one even the hairdryer I have that's like four hundred dollars, but it's really incredible. It's better for your hair So I got this on sale for four hundred Obviously, I know that's like crazy for a hair tool I honestly was never planning on paying it and then I just thought about it every day for the longest time and finally I decided that I was gonna splurge because I'm not spending money in other ways. So Yeah, obviously, I know it's really expensive, but I just really really am so excited for it. I am really thriving right now I just took a shower. I feel so good. I have been listening to Maddie and Tays new album I'm going to do my hair I'm so excited. We're gonna sit here and figure this thing out and then hopefully by that time My new bolts will be here so I can fix the couch upstairs, which I'm so excited for I don't even really want to film this because I feel like I'm gonna get attacked because I know that I'm not gonna be Using this right. I saw does he first use this so That's what I'll be doing. All right guys, so I did my hair. I definitely could have done a better job I really like how it turned out. I definitely have like product build up a little bit. So I need to do Fix that, but I just did it. I wanted like loose waves. I honestly wanted it like this But I think for my first try with the Dyson. I did a pretty good job Obviously, I'm just gonna get better. I'm gonna watch a ton of tutorials and stuff as well I really really love it. Um so far. So I'm really excited. So I'm really excited Um, it just feels good and I'm a fan like this is literally the highlight I think of my quarantine. I've gotten so bored, but like I'm so into Clothes and fashion and outfit like everything again Um, I think probably because I've just been in quarantine. I imagine a lot of us feel that way So I just I'm like getting so much inspiration and things and like makeup looks I want to try to do Like I almost want to get like a pink backdrop for my garage and turn that into a studio and get good at makeup Like that's kind of what my vibe has been But we will see anyways. I'm just putting this away for now. I think hopefully my stuff is here from Amazon I guess we'll see um, but yeah, I really like it so far I'll have it linked below, but wow I'm gonna put my laundry away, and then I think Amazon says it's only four stops away and they deliver guys pretty close So hopefully they'll be here soon I just pulled my hair back because I was already getting a note of the being down So this is just really ridiculous, but I finally got my bolts in I just sit on my laundry I'm gonna go upstairs Hopefully finish the couch. I can't believe my shower before going to work on the rooftop, but it shouldn't be like Too crazy hopefully Also, I haven't been showing you guys a rooftop. So I'm really excited I literally have my indoor slippers and my outdoor slippers, and I switch into my outdoor slippers Every time I go upstairs because you just can't mix the two, but anyways, I'm heading upstairs Gonna get some work done feeling great. You guys are gonna love the rooftop and fair warning. It's not done Oh, awesome. Okay, so these are the bolts bobble up oaring these sunglasses are from Amazon I haven't even tried them on Well clearly my hair looks great right now But oh my gosh, I love them. These are like the saline dupes, but they're $12 like these are incredible I got these because it gets really bright on the rooftop because it's all white right now And so I really need sunglasses and I think I'm actually gonna start laying out and maybe even getting a natural tan It's never been done before In my life ever so we'll see if that works, but I'm gonna take these upstairs And see what we can do. All right guys around the rooftop. I just built that half of the couch the couches is done It's kind of hot outside actually This is all from overstock. So Anyways, I have this little lounge section again. This is not done It's still like pretty dirty my mom and I are gonna clean it somehow or I am and she's gonna tell me what to do I have one that lounge chair. I have another one coming in another big rug Update I'm not gonna do turf just because I think it would be too difficult, but I'm just gonna get a bunch of rug So I have another one of these coming and I'm probably gonna order another I have these white outdoor bean bags that are here, and then I'm gonna get another one I might do turf here though and just make it a small dog park. Oh my gosh, I'm out of breath And then over here I need to get a vent cover because it's really ugly and it's killing the vibe But I'll probably do plants and stuff too. So imagine like two of these lounge chairs right here and then all of this It's gonna be so nice, but these are the updates that I have for you. Okay. I just had some dinner I think I'm gonna make myself a glass of wine because I am gonna face him some friends tonight I also have to record for the podcast and edit a lot of videos I'm such a baby with wine like this is literally all you drink. It's just cheap from Peter Joe's comment down below Your favorite wine so I have more recommendations. I really like doing this. This is definitely a new thing with quarantine I mean, I don't have that much wine so like I don't really do it that often because I'm just saving it But if I'm really feeling it I feel really mature Okay, I am so over recording myself as I are blogging myself as I record Podcast intros and ads and stuff, but that is what I just did I need to import stuff and send it over to my producer one second Gotta go get the tool for that. I have a song golf on TV, but linen Stella Actually, it's like women's on it. I think I don't I think like JP something anyways best song ever But I'm going to import this footage. I already have Daniela Brooks this week's episode is with Daniela Brooke a thousand ago, so I'm really excited To my best friends. I don't know what YouTube of Daniela Brooke on YouTube So I need to import all this stuff send over descriptions work on some Instagram stuff to have that ready I'm doing this really really early Which is good. I'm doing this really early. I normally post over on the Tuesdays, but today's Monday And I didn't do a lot of work today, so I figured I might as well do this, you know All right guys, I wanted to share what I posted on Instagram with you guys In this video and it give you guys a little bit of a quarantine at life update I posted it an Instagram with a long caption today, which for some reason those always make me so insecure Like there are some Instagram people who only post long captions, and I'm like so not that person I will do like black hearts. I don't know why Posting along caption just makes me very insecure, but I think it's because I'm normally like a little more vulnerable in that So maybe that's what it is. I shared this in the podcast that went live With like the intro thousand ago briefly But I also want to share this on this video because I know not all of you guys The podcast and all them watch the videos But I got like a lot of people responding and saying that they related so I wanted to just talk about this in the video I kind of already kind of talked about this when I was saying, you know, there's this weird pressure of Being like you have to You know start the next Uber or work really hard or whatever that might be because you have so much time to do whatever In the quarantine and well, that's literally amazing. I think for some people It's also awesome because I'm someone who already like wants to work 24-7. So this has really Allowed me and given me space for the first time in honestly probably years Like I was talking to my best friend Maddie and I was like, I haven't slowed down and sat with myself Really, I mean obviously like when are you gonna have weeks to do that? But for an extended period of time Besides like maybe an hour. I mean besides like obviously maybe an hour But I was like I have not sat by myself and just been with my thoughts and been with myself Since probably, you know, I moved to LA and she's like honestly it was probably your sophomore year of high school This is my best friend since like sixth grade and she's like I really think it was you know Your freshman or sophomore year of high school when I'm a senior in college So and with that being said like there's been so much that's happened to my life good and bad since then and I think You know, I've talked about how quarantine has kind of given us a space to like sit and heal I sound like such a hippie almost but like whatever I'm gonna read this caption because I really blab on if I don't have something to read Also, if you guys are coming from this video go comment on this photo and tell me you guys are coming It's just I can deal with them with on Instagram I would love if you guys commented and we could like relate and chat or anything like that Also, I would just love to like stalk them guys on Instagram. Okay I've been so on the go for honestly the past few years that I haven't had long periods of time to Dissolve myself alone. This is also probably the last thing I would choose to do because I thrive while working and being busy While being stuck in our houses wasn't what anyone saw for 2020 I'm grateful for the time. It's allowed for healing When will I ever have this much time to just sit in my house pray for hours read for hours and hang out by Myself and pregnancy without having Femma probably never we are 100% the lucky ones to keep ourselves in country Or 100% the lucky ones with our job being to stay at home in order to keep ourselves in country safe I am better because of this time my priorities have shifted so much. I'm so at peace I am more confident than ever and who I am and where I'm going and it took doing it nothing to feel so good So funny how so often we think we have to do do do I realize of a typo so I'm gonna fix that in order to get there um In quotes use this time to your benefit That doesn't have to mean coming up with the next business idea a passion project. It hasn't in my life for me It's been sitting with God and being honest where I'm at and I'm so much better because of it. Love you guys So just wanted to share that I think a lot more of us are taught like I know so many of us just like put off our problems and put off like dealing with certain things and whatever and We just like don't deal with anything like at all like for instance like my step brother passed away like a year and a half ago and obviously that's like Horrible and like very traumatic and it's been like awful to like watch my family walk through that and you know Just dealing with that in general but I You know like I don't know I like hate literally hate talking about this so much But honestly like even from just sitting here and like spending time with God and talking to God about it And just like chilling out like before if I would mention that I would immediately tear up And now I'm like you know what like Not that it will ever not hurt, but I think I'm just feeling better in general I don't feel like I'm this like bubble That's about to burst at any given time because I finally have like sat down because I went home I was there for the holidays for the funeral obviously all that and then I went back to LA And it was just kind of like business as usual and like I had to go back into my routine immediately So I feel like I Wasn't really given I didn't really give myself time to grieve as much as I should have Obviously I did like I don't think anyone's perfect at like healing and dealing from the stuff anyways So that's why it's just kind of like a learning progress, but a learning progress process of learning, I don't know um But yeah, I just definitely feel so much better and I feel I Think more myself than I have in a long time, and I just needed to sit by myself for However long that might be I think to the other thing was I was like oh my gosh So much has happened in my life outside of this Like I am so afraid that like what to start this like healing process or whatever that I know I need to go through It's gonna take so long and like healing is a process and sometimes it does take long But I think for me a lot of it was kind of like the last of it And I need to get the last of it out and just kind of like surrender that and give it up I'm just feeling like literally so much better obviously without being said like earlier today I was like on the phone with my mom at the verge of tears so like it's really a roller coaster But I would say like 90% of the time I am feeling so much better So yeah, that is it for today's vlog. I hope you guys enjoyed if you guys did let me know by giving it a thumbs up Comment if you made it to the end wine glass, but I love you guys so much and I'll talk to you guys soon. Bye
