Hi y'all, welcome to another week in my life vlog. This is a good one. We're booked, we're busy, we're throwing Christmas parties. I'm about to go to my driver appointment. This lip oil, I think it's from Mara, so you say it. It's actually not a lip oil, it's a lip balm, it's so good. So I have a dry bar and then I'm stopping at the Woolworth to make a TikTok for them. Picking up Carly, my editor, who's going to be in town for the next like 48 hours basically, helping me with recordings tomorrow. We have another event that I'm not sure if we're gonna go to and we're doing the whole thing. First off, I drank this weekend and I haven't been drinking more than like two drinks in a really long time, honestly. I like my life with less alcohol. We had fun, but it just like set you on a spiral. I drank a nice coffee and I had literally two sips of it and it's a iced coffee that I know doesn't make me feel great, I don't know why I drank it. Literally two sips and I'm like anxiety attack, oh my God. So not the best, but I'm getting my hair blown out for my recordings tomorrow. But yeah, if you're already here, subscribe. Welcome to another week in my life. Recipe journals have restocked. Everything is on the Instagram, so. I'm literally doing like deep breathing exercises, like. I got my blowout, I'm about to go to Woolworth really quickly with Macy. I have Jamie Kern Lima's like advanced readers copy. I'm having on the podcast, her new book is launching in February. I've had her on twice already, it's one of the best episodes ever. And I just want to say, like, it was so good. I'm like 25% of the way through. And I was like holding back tears in dry bar. And like, yeah, it could be that I'm like very anxious today, but honestly, like I really just think it's the book, it's so good. So pre-order it, I like pre-order it, it must. We're going. Carly's here. Carly hasn't been in a vlog in so long. When's the last time? February 20, or LA maybe. Oh yeah, don't have any. Anyways, Carly's in town for today basically. Oh, she's my editor. She's working as a producer today. She does, she's a jack of all trades. So I have some recordings that we're doing, just some other like random work stuff. What so we should have watched last night with Marcy? Marcy Stewart. I know. I just was like so tired yesterday. I've been doing brain code. The thing that I've been doing where I do like the brain exercises and they told me like just so you know you're going to be really tired after you do these. And I was like, okay, I sit there and watch Gumbag Girls and they like zap things into my brain like I think I'll be fine. No, I was so tired. I got home. I worked out and then I went there and I got home. My body was like weak. It was rough. And then I had coffee and then it gave me an anxiety attack. So it was really like not my day. Eight or nine. I guess we could watch probably like one of the Martha things. Put it on in the background. Go over our day. I'm back using my really cute Texas mug from Texas Treasures. Operation Get Kensio Truck is fully in, what's what I'm waiting for? Happening? Commending? I don't know. By the way, my set is Urban Outfitters. I did some Instagram stuff for them and I got like some of the cutest stuff I've ever done. I'm wearing tomorrow also Urban. For my Christmas party, they have like a really cute like brown sequins set. They have bow candles. So anyways, this is not sponsored. I'm just a huge fan. Maguire is coming in from Oklahoma today and we're shooting that episode which is all about like creating your dream career. Nicole and Alexis and I are doing like a New Year's thing. It's gonna be a good, good day. And then Carly and I are just like doing the whole 2024 plan out to this basically. Oh, I'm also gonna make Ina Gardens engagement chicken tonight and a new side dish from a new recipe or a new cookbook journal. What am I saying? Recipe journal? A new cookbook I got from her. So that's going to be very exciting. It's a very good day at home. I need to get on this call in like two minutes but I have a call at GMC and we're gonna figure some things out on like what I actually want with the truck because I really just need it for like my garden and my life and my house and everything. So, but like I'm just a girl. I don't need like the biggest truck you've ever seen, you know? I set up my table for my Christmas party tomorrow. I sit on a dinner table. Part, I sit on a dinner party. It's just like cute when I have this and then I have the other like ones outside. You guys don't care, but the tablecloth wasn't big enough. So anyways, I like split them up and I think this is gonna be gifts maybe or this is gonna, I don't even know. It might just be like the vibe there and then we'll do gifts out there and like food in the kitchen or something. I also ordered a GoPro today. Did you like overhead shots? So updates to come guys. The vlogs are about to be like cinematic masterpieces. All right y'all, it's much later. We finished our recordings for the day. Very, very productive day. I'm going to cook a dinner. I'm making the eye to garden engagement chicken. The chicken that I love. It's a roast chicken. And it's my first time being able to use my new roasting pan that I just bought. Oh my God. It looks stunning. I got this one from Amazon. It looks like 60 something dollars and these things are really expensive. And this is the one that my mom has. Look at how stunning. I'll have it linked in my Amazon storefront. But this chicken is so good and it's not hard to make literally at all. I have it written down in my recipe at all obviously which are restocked by the way by the way because we're watching this. So we're gonna obviously start off with butcher box. I'm not gonna film this because a lot of you guys get like grossed out but you'll get the vibe tonight. And then I'm also gonna make couscous with peas and mint and it like sounds really good. So it's gonna be a great dinner. Really looking forward to this. And then Carly and I are gonna have a very productive night of planning our world takeover. It's gonna be good. Hopefully Martha Stewart master class at some point but I'm importing all the footage from today. We recorded two episodes for January and they're gonna be very good. I'm very excited. Coco's over here. It's like happy as possibly can be. She, does anyone else's dog do this though? Like she takes her food and eats it elsewhere but there she is so happy. Guys amazing, amazing news. My sauna. Oh my God, it's been set up but we have to like gotta work with some electrician things. So also this shelving unit is supposed to be all the way over there but when he like put it back after doing the new floors that we installed it's moving. It needs to be all the way over there. It does not look good. And then it can like go in more. Oh my God, so exciting. And then I'll move the treadmill over a little bit but like, oh my God. I literally cannot wait. And I can watch TV through here. Oh my God. Wow, I can't wait till this is all organized. Like it's way more organized than I was before I believe it or not. But I need to like, then my cool punch will hopefully go here and then I'm gonna have a bunch of just like gardening stuff there but I have too many. Like I can't get the air out of my pool floats which is like way harder than you would think. I just have so many extra boxes and stuff that I don't need but I'm getting some of these to my grandma so like they'll be gone. I don't even really need these shelves. Like if I wanted more space I could just get rid of these shelves and install them and move the boxes upstairs which I feel like I'm gonna end up doing without really doing like these shelves are very nice. Or I could at least get rid of one of them. How about space? What do you guys think? I feel like I'm gonna have two massive addicts. I feel like I'm just gonna get rid of this. This shoving unit and just keep this or something. Good morning y'all. Happy Wednesday. I just dropped Carly off at the airport. I'm at Love Field and I'm heading into a workout. We had a very great productive time. Dinner was so good last night. Thank gosh. I just, I don't know what it is but like I'm like so exhausted this week. Like hormonally exhausted. You know what I mean? We had a really good time and now I'm on my way to my workout. I have a couple of appointments today. I have a lot of work that I need to do. I'm hosting a Christmas party tonight that I'm really ill-prepared for. Which is unlike me. I did set the table and decorate that already. So I think I'm gonna be fine. I am gonna make like a little Christmas spreads thing and then what else are we gonna do? I have a cheese board coming. I think I'm gonna make a couple other appetizers and then we're doing like white elephant and all the things. So it's gonna be fun. I hope you guys like the GoPro footage so far. I'm gonna set up places in my house where like the GoPro will be. I'm wearing my cute little brown earvars set. Earvars is like really my favorite active wear. It's just the best. Not inset active. Like I said, I'm so tired and this is probably why I'm so tired tonight. It's definitely why. It was like 10 and we had done all our like brainstorming session and I was like, I didn't go to bed. I'm so tired. Okay? I go to bed at 10. I start reading The Story I Get Mother. I had only read like 30% the day before and I just got like hooked into the book and I needed to know another freedom of thought and thriller. I don't know why I'm like obsessed with thrillers right now in December. I should be reading cute cozy books but I'm just like in the mood for thriller and I finished it. Like I finished the entire book. So I stayed up very late last night for me to finish my book. And I liked it. It's not like my favorite of hers ever but like I just like needed to know, you know? Okay, y'all, oh, what is going on here? Huh. Okay, I don't know what that was about. Y'all have good wrecks. Oh my gosh, guys. Ignore the light but I'm getting rid of this shelving unit. So I'm gonna list it on Facebook Marketplace. All these boxes are going to the attic and then this is gonna move up. That's gonna move over there. The lighting is really bothering me. So I'm gonna go ahead and move it. This is the last thing I should be doing today but of course this is, you know, what I'm doing. Okay, we're making some serious progress. Thank God. I'm on my way to brain codes again. I'm hoping I'm not exhausted after today. We're also doing a little like symptoms tracker so we can see like how I'm feeling and how I feel like everything is going. I will link it below because they explain it better there. And if you are like me and you're into like health and wellness and optimization therapy, more specifically therapy, I would really recommend brain code. It's very interesting. It's similar to my spec scan but with this it's more practical and like the idea is that I do this training for six months and it's like rewiring my brain. You're not supposed to be in this training for the rest of your life with like talk therapy you're, you know, kind of in it forever, off and on. It's basically like fixing my brain is how I would describe it. I wanna have one of them on the podcast to talk all about it cause it's so interesting to me but I think today is my like fourth session and I do this for six months. Why are you rosing behind this time of year? It's so difficult. This is why I need my herb garden. The party is ready. I normally would rather die before using the plastic cups at this point in my life because I love obviously glassware and like I think all this is ugly and I should pour it into different pictures but honestly it's a very chill Christmas party and I need to be less controlling and like I'm having people bring stuff anyways so it's not like I can control what everything. You know what I mean? Like I'm not, I don't have enough pictures for like everything. You guys get what I'm saying, okay? This is from Swell by the way. They sent me a bunch of their stuff and I love it. Obviously I've got some leftover abalone wine. People are bringing things. My cheese board is from La Tablera and they are the best cheese boards in Dallas in the sweetest woman run business. So if y'all are ever looking for a cheese board in Dallas let me know. This is for a game. Like we don't need to talk about it. I have all my holiday candles going. I had Christmas music going. My tree is going out there. There's, listen, like I don't know why it's so dark. I mean I do know because it's obviously nighttime but I have that out there. I mean we're probably not even gonna sit out there but just to like have something you know. And then over here we've got our little white elephant table which I thought was really cute. This is my white elephant gift which I also thought was really cute. I just grabbed, well it was supposed to be all both because we're doing like a favorites thing version of white elephant. So basically like bring your favorite product or whatever you own under $30. So I was gonna do a bunch of hair bows. So I have this because this set is only $10 linked on my Amazon storefront and the other ones but somehow the other ones end up getting back ordered. So I ended up just grabbing like for my PR. It's over $30 but it was free to me. So I feel like it's gonna be fine and then I just like decorated it with these bows like I taped them as decor and they're also hair bows. How cute. And then obviously it's gonna be dressed up as a Grinch. He's really excited and I have more candles going. Good news, the sauna is good to go. It's ready and my sister just made my hair appointment tomorrow so I was getting like stressed just because this time of year just a busy time of year and I needed to be able to edit a ton tomorrow. So I'm gonna be able to do that and stay home and be cozy and go in the sauna and just like have a day. Like have a day to myself honestly. That's really what I need. It's really dark in the garage so I'll try to show y'all. Oh, it's still on guys. I don't know how I'm supposed to turn this on. I didn't realize that was motion sensory. Oh, okay that is so annoying guys. Okay, this is better. I've added some things. It's looking better. I hate popping champagne. Like it literally gives me anxiety. Where's mine? I have lost all volume that I ever had in my hair. I never really had volume. Okay, here we go. Like this is a mess. Oh, it's fine but like I'm so scared. I need some, of course, of course that happens. Guys I do just wanna say like hosting is expensive regardless of even like not doing meals and just doing like even like I went to go print things out and all this stuff. So I really want to next year like create content around like hosting like for like under a hundred dollars. Like you know what I mean? Like doing like a budget. I don't think I would be interested in that but it adds up, I'm not gonna lie. But I'm also not the like smart. Like you don't have to do a lot of the stuff that I do. I'm making a little spritz. Prosecco. Yeah, honestly, this is really, I really hope for the best. I should probably look this up. I've literally made this one. Apparel. Next up, cranberry juice. Next up, club soda. Let's see, it tastes pretty good. Honestly. Okay, we're gonna add a little lemon in there and a little rosemary. Cheers everyone. Macy's coming over to the sauna. I should have her glass ready for her. This is gonna be a mess. First morning of the sauna. Yes, I always wake into it. It is fine. Where did it go? Over here. This is so exciting. I'm on the team right now. That's okay. Do you have a towel? I forgot to put the towel on, but. Where is it? I'll get what you want. In the guest bathroom. Okay. It's like on the floor. 13, it's really not warm enough. It'll get hot. Entertain me. I literally don't have any. Macy, can you tell me a story? I'm a staller. Distract me. Macy, you're not very good at this. Where did my towel go? Is that behind you? Yeah. You're so... In a minute left. Still? Did you press it? Yeah. I even started the timer before you got in. That's crazy. Honestly, when I do this myself and I listen to a podcast, it gets easier when you just sit here and you don't move. Dumb or even a word? Yeah. More dumb. You got some action shots too. I think I'm gonna add gardening into my morning routine. I know I told you that yesterday, but I'm really thinking about it though. Because I think it's gonna be good for me. Good morning, y'all. I'm wearing my new coat from Cezanne. Yesterday, I sawned and I worked. I had to get so much work done. I had to get a lot of editing and stuff done. Today is Friday. I just stopped and got coffee. It's like 7 a.m. Sophie, my niece, has a... Actually, I wonder, is this any of y'all's first video that you've watched of mine? I'm curious. Sophie's my niece and she has a Christmas recital today. I don't think it's even like that. I don't know how big of a deal this thing is, but I got her flowers. How cute. I had to just get so much Target and there was no like... I hate when you give it in this wrapping, you know? There was no like, whatever. That's a good thing to have at home, actually. At my hosting closet, like, flower wrapping with the brown paper. I know it's like newspaper and stuff, but like, have it cut or like, prepped. Anyways, I'm on my way. I got my coffee. I'm about to... I got Starbucks because my Keurig wasn't working this morning. I don't know what was going on with that, but I had coffee, no classic, two pumps pumpkin. I mean, two pumps peppermint splash of cream. It's so good. It's like my holiday Christmas order. And then I'm gonna go to breakfast with my mom after. I think a lot of this will probably have to go back to work. So I think it would just be me and my mom. I'm so excited. Being an aunt is literally my favorite thing in my entire life. It is the best part of my life, by far. Hi, y'all. I just got back and it's Friday afternoon. I'm gonna record a little antique haul from things that I got. And then I'm gonna go record for someone else's podcast and then it's the weekend. So we're ending off the vlog with an antique haul. I bought the best stuff. So we went to Down to McKinney, which it's crazy because growing up, like my parent, I mean, I'm from McKinney, by the way, which is a suburb of Dallas. My mom and my grandma would always go look antiquing. At one point they had a store downtown because my mom and my grandma had like a, like a bedding and draperies business. So we also had like a shop downtown. I spent a lot of time there at my childhood. And I used to dread going antiquing with them. And now it's like all I ever wanna do is go antiquing. Like if I'm like, what do I wanna do today? It's literally an antiquing. We brought Sophie with my niece and she wanted to kill me. So I grabbed her with candy at the mom and pops shop, which is the cutest thing ever. I just think I'm so used to Down to McKinney because I grew up there, but it literally is like a Hallmark movie, especially the holidays. Like I hate that Macy just left today for a month. I hate that we didn't do that for Christmas because this morning it was literally straight up a Hallmark movie. Like videos don't even do it justice. Anyways, so I got this dish set. This is the first thing. And I love it. So a small dessert dish and then just a normal dish. I think I'm actually gonna make these. My everyday plates. I love my house so much, but so as you guys can see, modern. That's why I made like my office is so not modern. And like my goal is to make my bedroom not modern at all. So I'm just adding pieces throughout. They're just like spark joy. Like I want cute, cozy, like eclectic things. So I got four of the many ones. I got the rest of them of what they had basically. And then seven of the big plates. It went to the antique mall by the way. And they just had it the best stuff. My mom got a really sick like sled. My mom has a great quilt collection and I wanted one. So these are literally cute forever. And I just thought it was really cute. It was 85 for a quilt. Let me know what you guys think. The other ones that I've seen, I feel like that's just like the border on a really good price honestly. Cause these can get really pricey. But I just thought it was really cute. And then here we go. And I'll collect them and put them in my drawers cause I'm always pulling up. Like it's obviously, you use them all the time. I'm such a blanket girl though. Like I'm never in my house without one. I got three cute little ornaments. I thought these were like fun and like older looking, which is what I wanted. Also the healers that are working there were so nice. So this you guys will love. If you don't like anything in this, you'll love this. Cause it's just so me, this little cowboy print. I don't know where I'm going to put it in the house. Like I would like to even put it in the kitchen. I have this other print that Carly brought me that was just, I love it so much. And this is perfect for the kitchen, especially in the spring and summer. Wait, I kind of like this vibe. I mean, I have a frame that will fit this. So I need to figure out where I'm going to put this. Cause that I'm going to end up moving. Just thinking out loud here. I'm going to put this size wise and see how I feel about it. I mean, it's not supposed to be there. I mean, it could be. I just need to change the print behind it and figure that out. So anyways, love both of those. And then I have these four books. I saw this with a cute little print. This obviously Country Savvy, incredible. Love the artwork. And then these are just kind of like antique looking books. And I just, you always need like antique looking books when you go. Also, like I said, I grew up going antique and I hated it, but the one way that this is such a lame, loser story. Actually, not that I'm thinking about it, but they would bribe me with Nancy Drew books, right? So I would go to the antique malls with them and they would have an antique Nancy Drew books. If you guys haven't read Nancy Drew, you did it when you were younger. They obviously have new like versions of them, but I would always get the antique ones. And my mom got rid of them and I just can't believe she did that. And they have them at the antique store today. And I was like, oh my God, they're so cute. I almost honestly, I really, I was kind of in a rush at that point, but I really should have gotten one just like to like go. You know what I mean? But anyways, for nostalgia, you know, I'm all about nostalgia. Everything about my life is like healing my inner child without it, like not really, but like I feel like so much of what I do was like me as a kid, you know? Guys, is it gonna be weird if I wear a coat on a podcast because I'm going to the podcast and I feel like I literally have to wear this or else my outfit will look weird. And my hair, I'll redo this, just rain. So anyways, I'm so thrilled with my purchases. I'm going to wash all my dishes. I love them so much. I just think that they're perfect. And get back to work for the day. So just performing this morning was amazing. I had a fabulous morning with my mom and her. So I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. Stay tuned. Next week is the week before Christmas in real time. And it's the last week that I'm vlogging of the year and I'm doing all the festive things. So it's gonna be like a very quirky vlog. Stay tuned, subscribe, love y'all. Enter the Tacobas giveaway guys, you want them. Also, I thought I ruined my sway boots. I didn't, thank God. For me, I think I like went on this glow up journey from losing a lot of weight to getting a following on accident on social media. So it wasn't like this. Yes, think at Cooper T. Dave. Everything I have, I credit to Cooper and even fitness. Like he lost a lot of weight and that was his journey to become a world champion which is a whole nother bull riding thing. But.
