 Hello guys, good morning. Welcome to another vlog. So today is Thursday. Normally I would have work at the hair salon today because I'm a hairstylist in case you're new here. Hi, welcome. But I don't have anybody booked at the salon. We're still like in that weird, I talked about this in previous vlogs where it was like crazy busy, like overwhelmingly so. And then it kinda slowed down a little bit and then we picked back up and now it's just been like, we're in a weird transitional period like at the end of summer, you know? But I am actually totally okay with that. So I am not going in because we're by appointment only so if I don't have clients, I don't go in. So I wanted to take advantage of this free day that I had and just get caught up on house chores and YouTube work and stuff like that. I do have a virtual consultation with a client later this afternoon. So I do need to do that but we're just, you know, doing it through FaceTime so I can do it from home, which is great. I just took a shower. It's gonna be super hot today. It's supposed to be in the 90s and I can already feel that it's really hot outside. So I just washed my face, sprayed a little toner on it and fun, fun, fun times. I had a breakout here a few days ago and it popped and some bacteria must have spread and then I got another breakout directly underneath it. Love that for me. But I'm gonna put a little pimple patch on it and hopefully it'll suck everything out within the next few hours. Normally I put these on at night before bed but yeah, I'm not going anywhere today. So these are from the brand Welly. You can get them at Target, Amazon, Walmart probably. They're just these little clear patches and you just stick them on like a sticker to any breakouts that you have. Like I said, I normally do this before bed and by the morning I peel it off and it literally sucked everything out of the breakout. It's disgusting but also really satisfying. Just gonna put a little vitamin C serum from Cercadia. This has been helping to brighten up my skin and even out the tone, make it look brighter, more glowy. And then I'm just putting on some sunscreen. I might put on some tinted moisturizer or something later after I'm done with my cleaning but for now that's gonna be it. And I actually learned that even if you're gonna be staying inside it's still important to wear sunscreen because rays can come in even through your window. Now that we are all clean and dressed I need to make some coffee. Before I completely forget I'm going to water the plants since it's supposed to be a super hot day outside they could probably use some extra water. So my side of the bed over here is very messy. I have a clean laundry here that I did a few days ago that I need to put away. I think I have some dirty laundry on the ground there and then I bought some things recently some stuff from HomeGoods, Target and I just kind of like left everything in the bag and haven't had a chance to put it all away yet. So that's what we're gonna do. And while I do that I'm going to watch some YouTube videos. I got all the clean laundry organized on the bed so I'm gonna put this stuff away but I have, like I said, some new stuff that I bought recently. So I'm gonna organize this into my piles as well so that way I can just put everything together all at once. But I wanted to just show you guys because I don't know, maybe you're interested in the cute stuff I got recently. So I was at Target yesterday and I was not looking for a new bag but I saw this one and it's not my usual style but something about it just was really cute and I like how lightweight it is and it has a long strap so it's a crossbody and I just thought it was really summery and boho and I don't know, I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep it or not but I figured let me get it while it's here and then if I change my mind I can always return it and then this, oh my God, I'm so excited. These jeans are so freaking cute. These ones were like 20 bucks from Universal Thread and they like hug my butt really nicely they're high waisted and then I got a little pajama set from the Stars Above Line just a little button up short sleeve with a pair of matching shorts and then the last thing that I got at Target yesterday was this pair of leggings. They have a really nice like high waist, thick waistband. This is from Colsea. They're a nice ribbed material. I tried them on, they're completely opaque so you cannot see your underwear or anything through them which is great. I feel like you can never have too many leggings especially if you can find a pair that are like thick, good quality and not see through. Then I forgot I have this too. This is also from Target but I got this on a different day. It's a coat but it looks kind of just like a jacket and it's not like super, super thick and heavy. This is more of like a fall time coat but I just thought it was so stinking cute. And then the last thing from Amazon. I got an alarm clock because I normally use my phone for my alarm clock but the thing is I have to have my phone then in the bedroom with me and then I end up getting tempted to be on my phone late at night before bed or first thing in the morning check my phone and be on it and it's just like more screen time than I want and I know it's really bad to be on your phone and to be like looking at a screen at night and I've been having a hard time sleeping and I've been going to bed really late lately and then having a hard time getting up so I wanna start leaving my phone downstairs. So I saw this one on Amazon. It was only like $15 I wanna say and I thought it was cool because it has a mirror face and it's just small and sleek and simple. We will set this up later tonight before bed. Okay, so before I can put any clothes away I really need to clean and organize this closet. It's a mess. I know it's bad. I have really been putting it off. I have stuff over here. Some of it is clean clothes that I just never got around to hanging up. Some of it is clothes that I need to wash because I want to sell and we have some disgusting stains on this rug because my cat threw up. In here. We love that. So freaking disgusting. Needless to say, I now keep the store closed at all times and don't allow either one of my pets to come in here anymore. So we are going to clean up in here, get this rug nice and clean and then put the clothes away. Can you tell how sweaty I am already? For the hundredth time, it's really hot today. We got the closet straightened up. Now it's time to clean that rug and get rid of those throw up stains. And this portion of the vlog is actually sponsored by Hoover. You guys, I can't even believe it. I am freaking out. I'm so honored to be sponsored by such a big mainstream, well-known popular brand. It's crazy. My family's been using Hoover vacuum cleaner since before I was born but they recently sent me their Pet Complete Smart Wash Shampooer. So we are going to be using this for the first time to get rid of those stains in the rug. I assembled it last night and was reading the instructions and it seems very easy to use. I like simple and fast. So we're going to pop this top part off. This is where you put the water and even says it right here. Like I said, easy. Then this part down here is where it's going to collect the dirty water. So after we're done, we will dump this out and then in the back here is where you add your solution and it is labeled. So very easy solution tank. I think that should be enough water because that rug isn't super big and we're just doing the one rug. And then for the solution I'm going to be using the deep clean and restore carpet cleaner from Hoover because this one says that it tackles old set in stains and that stains been there for at least a couple of weeks now. So we need all the help we can get. So here's a little close up so you can see it in action. I was so amazed at how well it removed these old stains. So like I said, they are several weeks old and you can see here too that the little light there when you push the machine forward it's in wash mode and then when you pull back it dries. So you don't have to wait like all day for your rugs or carpets to dry which is really nice too. Wow, wow, wow. Wow, all of those stains which I said were very set in. They've been in this carpet for several weeks and they just came right up with like one or two passes. So crazy. Excuse me. No, no, no. No pets allowed in here anymore. So yeah, I am extremely impressed. It smells so good in here now. Oof, yeah, look at all that dirty water. Ew, very glad that it's not in my rug anymore. The rug is a little bit damp. It's not soaking wet which is cool because it has that drying feature. It does help to dry your carpet faster but I'm gonna give it a chance to dry before I'm like in here too much. In the meantime, I'm gonna pull myself together a little bit more because now I just look like a freaking mess because like I said, I have that virtual consultation so I wanna make sure that I look a little bit presentable for that. But yeah, thank you so much again to Hoover for sponsoring this video. Don't forget to check out the link in my description if you want to get this carpet cleaner for yourself. I am honestly absolutely amazed. Like I said, this was my first time using it and you guys saw for yourself in real time how well it worked. So yeah, having pets, I have a dog and a cat and they're always getting into something. If you're a pet parent, you totally understand what I mean. So having this now is gonna be super handy. All right, let's do something about all this. I feel like I already need to change literally because I am that sweaty under these clothes. By the way, update on the shower head filter that I showed you guys a month or two ago that I got from Amazon. It has been working so well. We have well water at this house and before my hair just felt really weighed down, I could tell that I had a lot of mineral buildup in it. Even when it was freshly washed and clean, it still never felt completely clean and it always had this like gross mineral smell to it, especially whenever it was wet. But since getting the shower head filter from day one, it's made such a noticeable significant difference. My hair just feels like so clean and nice. It doesn't have that smell anymore. I'll link the one that I got down below if you are interested. But I know a few people have been asking me recently for an update, so I wanted to share. Decided not to do any tinted moisturizer or anything on my face because it's just too hot and anything I put on I know is eventually gonna sweat off. So I just put a little bit of the tart under eye CC corrector just to kind of brighten up under my eyes a little bit and then the L'Oreal telescopic mascara. And then for my hair, I just did a combination of some regular waves with my flat iron like I usually do and then some of the like beach waves with my bed head waiver. And I just kind of alternated and just did like random pieces just to give it like some variety and different texture. And then the bed head, a wave we go waiver is what I use for these more like crimpy looking pieces. Now I'm gonna go sit in front of the air conditioner for a few minutes until it's time for my FaceTime call. Nice to meet you. So what are you looking to do? Cause I saw that you booked a full foil. So we'll just add a little more brightness on the ends that were left out. And then we'll just bring everything up a little bit more but keep it really soft and blended and I can do pieces around your face too so that when you pull it up, it'll still look blended. Do you like the current lightness? Like the light pieces that you have, do you like how they look or do you want to make them lighter? Yeah, if that all sounds good to you then I'll see you tomorrow. It is several hours later. I have been just all over the place. I've really come to realize that I am one of those people that cannot just like do one task and finish it before moving on to something else. I started task, I do a little bit, then I start something else, I do a little bit of that and I like go back and forth. So that's basically what my day has been. Last time you saw me, I did my virtual consultation with my client and went really well. She was super nice. She's actually coming in tomorrow for that appointment. So I'm excited that should go really well. And then I edited a couple of videos, recorded some other stuff for like another video, created and posted an Instagram reel, finished putting away all of that laundry, all the clothes, put away in the closet. The closet's looking really good. I'll show you how dinner, watch TV for a little bit. Yeah, so it's just been like a constant day of productivity, which is, it's good. I feel accomplished, we're really tired. It's 10.30 on the dot now. And I put on my new pajama set, it's so comfortable. So anyway, I need to wash my face and it's time to finally remove this patch. If pimples and pus and that kind of stuff grosses you out, look away for a quick second, but it literally pulled everything out. Just wipe that off and try to be careful to not rub it and spread any bacteria because I do not want any more freaking breakouts. Oh, and it's completely flat already. Oh, I'm telling you guys, those things are amazing. So here's how the closet is looking. The rug is like good as new, super fresh and clean. It's completely dry now at this point. I put all of my clothes and everything away. And now my side of the bed is looking so much better than when we started this morning. So now I want to get this alarm clock set up. So let's do that. Are you ready for the satisfaction? I just love that so much. One thing to keep in mind about this alarm clock if you wanted to get it is that it doesn't come with a regular plug, just a USB. So you need either a box or something to plug it into. You can put batteries in it though. It actually works out perfectly for me because the lamp next to my bed has a USB port. So I can just plug it in right there and you can adjust the brightness, I guess. Oh, that's nice. It does get super bright though. All right, let's see. Okay, I think I got it set up. It has very minimal buttons on here. Like this is literally all that's here and it's not very clear. So normally with stuff like this, I don't even need to look at the directions. I can just figure it out. But with this, I really needed the instructions and I'm gonna hold on to this for a while because I have a feeling I might forget how to do it. But I was able to set the time, set my alarm. You can even adjust how long you want the snooze to be, which is pretty nice. Luckily tomorrow morning, I don't have to get up super early, so if I didn't do something correctly and the alarm doesn't end up going off, it'll be okay. It's a good day to test this out. Just let a new candle. I got this from HomeGoods. The scent is called Chestnut Sugar. It smells so good. It reminds me of more of like a fall kind of scent, but it's just so cozy. So I'm gonna wrap up this vlog here. Thank you again so much to Hoover for sponsoring this video. Like I said, don't forget to check out the link in the description if you wanna go get that shampooer. And thank you so much to you guys for watching, for supporting. You know, I wouldn't have the opportunity to work with sponsors if it wasn't for your support. So thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it. I'm just gonna relax now for the rest of the night and eventually go to bed. So I will see you in my next video. Bye.
