 hey y'all it is july 12th and we are on our way to explore more of austin i feel like this will never end there's just so many things to do here and i think i've done everything almost okay i think you did everything when i was away i was away for like a week when i went to california and he um had his brother and his brother's girlfriend come to visit so they did so much stuff without me and i'm so sad but um i mean like yeah i get it there's like a couple spots but we haven't even been to like five percent of like the restaurants you guys have recommended to us and like all the other stuff that we want to do so i mean we've done like a good amount for just you know moving here but today i'm in my cheetah print dress hopefully ryan can get a clip of me like when i get to the restaurant oh we're going to loro so i am very excited to try it i don't even know what it is honestly um sushi i don't know what's going on sushi and i i really thought it was like some korean barbecue thing but i guess we'll find out everyone literally everyone has recommended this place to us so we're going today i worked on a youtube video got that up for you guys and then i started some freelance work with zup and that is the company i used to work for um and they just wanted me to put together some instagram stories for them i'm actually not finished with that i have to finish it next week but i'm doing that so that's fun because i honestly missed the company and like working for them it always got me in like my creativity mode because i used after effects a lot with them and so now like not having that position i feel like i never use it and it's sad because like i was just learning and it's so bad to stop like practicing on something that you're like beginning at so i'm excited to like get back into after effects and stuff like that this morning i got an email from the couch place and we are getting our couch sooner than expected we're getting on the 15th and we i thought it was coming on the 27th i don't know where i thought that i think maybe they just like say it's coming a little bit later than it is or i don't know but it's coming sooner and it's coming on a monday which is the day i watch like all my shows like bachelorette the hills grand hotel so i'm excited for that a really bad habit of eating right now but i feel like we don't really enjoy you know like we're such foodies that we're just like stuff our face and we don't even talk while we eat you know i feel like normal people like talk while they eat or such just me we are done eating and now it is photo shoot time favorite time so we stopped at where are we uh caffeine and leather yeah you said he wanted to go there i was like looking at it i was like oh super cute oh wait there's like a white wall right here and looks perfect so we're gonna go try to shoot here and hopefully this goes well and smooth and nice hey y'all it is the next morning and we went out last night so i kind of have like a little bit of like a headache um but i took some Tylenol i should be good and a jiffy but um right now i am at houndstooth coffee at currently 9 38 a.m and i am meeting up with um a girl named sisley she has a youtube channel and i will link it down below for you guys to check out she lives in austin so i wanted to meet up because i've never really had like an influencer friend before so i'm excited to like talk with her and kind of just like relate on that level i guess we're in houndstooth coffee right now it is actually the cutest coffee shop probably that i've ever been to that i know um but i'm with sisley and i know like a girl and it was so freaking cute i got coffee she told me to get a latte because she's a coffee connoisseur connoisseur yeah sorry i don't know if i want to be on that level but i'm like scared it's like an expensive addiction you know i spend like probably like 10 to 15 bucks on coffee oh my god yeah yeah no yeah it it can get expensive it's true i'm back home in my apartment i had such a good time at the coffee shop i feel like we related just on so many things because like we you know literally started youtube around the same time in 2013 so like we've kind of like gone through like the phases of like youtube and stuff so it was really cool talking about youtube with someone who has been doing it for like as long as i have we took really really cute pictures i'm really pumped to edit them um and hopefully we'll hang out again and take some cool pictures around austin too because i think like south congress has a lot of cute places and even downtown austin but the parking's like kind of a bitch there so we're definitely gonna have to find some photo spots to you know get our pictures and our outfits and stuff she said she wanted to learn more about cameras so i was like i got you girl i'm like all about my camera stuff so it's much later now it is 6 p.m and we are kind of shopping around we went to play those closet and i got one thing and i'll insert that clip here right now we are going to buffalo exchange it's a thrift store here in austin so hopefully they have some really cool stuff that we can find unfortunately we did not find anything in buffalo exchange it was a really funky place it wasn't your normal plato's closet but i feel like i could have like found something in there if i like really looked and like took my time but i was just kind of like browsing you know kind of figuring out the store i guess um but the plato's closet i don't know if i said this already but it's kind of like expensive here like this romper that i got was like 16 dollars and i feel like i got the other one that i used to go to it'd be like 12 maybe like i don't know they're getting a little too cocky with their prices i mean i understand everyone has to make a profit like i don't know i i could i feel like i definitely could have bought this on like poshmark for cheaper right now we are going to go to heb because i have some frozen rosé in the freezer waiting for me to make into frozen so i want to get like lemons i think lemons go in there i kind of want to get like simple what's it called simple sugar simple simple syrup to like make it a little bit sweeter because i have tried rose before and i don't really love because it's not sweet so i needed to be a little bit sweeter and then like what else goes in rosé you know like raspberries oh yeah we have raspberries and strawberries yeah that's perfect cool i've been doing some extensive rosé research and um apparently you're supposed to like freeze a whole bottle of rosé and then scrape it or like blend it and then add another bottle on top so does that mean we have to buy another bottle of rosé we'll just we'll just keep it like one bottle this time but we're doing some experimentation so i'll update you guys later on how i just got home from h e b and i'm gonna do a little haul because i have some beauty stuff that i picked up and i'm kind of excited because first of all Ryan found me a coupon so that was great and these are like my necessities so i thought i would share it with you guys so the first product is the ole daily facials and i remember when this was like a thing that influencers were being sponsored by so i decided to give it a try because i'm easily influenced honestly especially on instagram i will literally buy anything that somebody just tells me to buy so i tried these and literally they're so amazing because it's not just makeup wipes so it kind of like forces you to wash your face these are actually dry wipes and then you get them wet and then they like lather up on your face i don't know i just really really like this highly recommend i'll have it linked down below um you can probably get them on amazon and have them shipped right to your door the next thing that i got that i'm excited to try out is this duo quick set strip lash adhesive so my cousin zahra is like beautiful and she literally wears lashes i guess every day i'm like okay how the heck are you so good at putting your lashes on she's like 15 so i'm like what the heck i want to learn from you she said that this is like her secret is the quick set and i was like that makes a lot of sense so sometimes i don't wait as long as i need to so this is probably gonna help with that i guess there's not really that much more exciting things but those are the two exciting things i got nail polish remover and cotton balls because i literally cannot find a good nail place around here and they all suck and so i like they're good on the first day and then like literally the next day they like all chip and just like look really bad but you can really tell i feel like like two days into your manicure if it was like actually good or not especially because the first day like obviously your nails look like shit before so like anything with like a full coat of nail polish is gonna look better than what you had does that make sense so i feel like the second and third day you just get a little bit more critical of like what they did wrong um but yeah so i think i'm just gonna take off my gel nail polish because it's already ripping off and it's like been i don't even know i think i got them done on monday maybe i'm not sure but i think i'm gonna take them off myself because i don't want to go back in there and pay and i don't know we'll try taking them off myself i haven't taken off gel in a really long time um but i think i'm just gonna start painting my nails just regular color i know it's gonna chip still but i don't know i feel like i just need to stop getting my nails done because it gets really expensive and that adds up okay we're gonna go to rainy street and just have like a chill night and i want to make my frozen i actually bought lemon juice instead of lemons because i thought this could be like a little bit easier we'll see like i said i'm experimenting this is actually the frozen this is like the only container i had to put it in so it's like literally frozen so i am trying to make my own frozen i was inspired by the kender scott cafe their frozen is really really freaking good so i'm going to make my own i'm first starting off with making my own simple syrup because i didn't know where to find it in the grocery store so i'm just gonna do it over the stove really quick and i looked up like a super simple recipe on pinterest this lights weird um so hopefully that turns out well i literally don't know how to make cocktails but i've told like so many people this in the past week but i have always wanted to like be a bartender and like very interested in like mixology even though i don't know anything about it but i want to know more about it so hopefully this is like my first step we'll see so i bought the cheapest rose i could find at the grocery store and i froze it overnight and right now it's like a cheek consistency as you can see oh okay so i feel really dumb because i made this simple sugar and didn't realize that i don't have that much time so i can't really like cool it down before using so i don't know what i'm going to do experiments y'all pretty much done we are coming to the end of it and i actually added the simple syrup and it was hot so it kind of melted it a little bit down but it's honestly good because then it's like a little bit slushy not too many like big chunks of ice um so i'm just going to use this thing because we don't really have a ladle let's scoop it into here that's such a pretty color i'm so excited about this let's hold it up high so i can add the garnishes because you know me you gotta have like that instagramable cocktail so now for the garnishes i'm gonna do strawberries and raspberries i wish i had like something like leafy or something two strawberries and one raspberry wait what should i should have done one raspberry okay well there we go that's not cute perfect taste test it's good honestly i feel like it could be way sweeter but that's just me what do you think what's your review not bad so i'm filming the whole thing for y'all and instagram stories but i think i'm almost done i'm gonna do another instagram story you can see the behind the scenes yeah ryan's gonna film it i've been doing selfie style this whole time but might as well do a little cooking show you know okay here you go you are you should hurry yes i'm gonna take some pics of it we'll be good it's run gotta froze so i was just complaining about how my nails are like really just chipped everywhere but thank god this thumb the instagram thumb is okay so that's why i haven't fully taken it off just yet but oh boy is it coming okay i don't know i feel like this could be way cuter it needs something green green yeah like a green bean okay i need like a cuter background i don't know what so i just called an uber we're gonna go to rainy street and we're gonna have like a casual night i'm i'm feeling good but i also want to feel really great tomorrow so casual night it is
