 Hey y'all, what's up? Welcome to a new vlog. I'm Sonali, and this is my boyfriend Ryan. And we are at the beach. If you didn't see in our previous vlog, we're at Bali Beach, South Carolina. And it's my first time being here. Ryan's the third time. But we're staying at a beautiful house right on the beach. And we're just like soaking up all the sun that we can while we're here. And it's Shannon's birthday. If you saw the other vlog, he's fantastic. I don't think she's in the other vlog. I hope we all get her in today's vlog. Yeah, it's her birthday. And it's actually my dad's birthday too. I got a little bit accessorized with my Kapshi swimsuit. This one was from Amazon, but it is super cute. And I love it. And we're going to take some photos in it. Put on like super minimal makeup just because I'm going to be wearing sunglasses anyways. But let's do this. It's not doing the face thing. It's not doing the face thing. Oh, I see it. I'm going to go paddle boarding at the beach. Ryan's getting the paddle boards right now. But I feel like we need to get a little bit active because we've been eating like chips all day every day. I just got back into paddle boarding and I was wearing makeup earlier and my mascara is literally everywhere. But I got my exercise in for like the month that was so draining because it was so sunny and bright outside. It took everything and me to like paddle because the tide is really high I think. Like they have a red flag right now. And I think Chandler was saying that the waves like aren't bad, but the tide is bad. So like, you know, the current like pulls you out. So it was really hard to get back in, but it was really fun. This is like a lot of color. I put my week below for 30% off. I wish we had 30% off a lot of color. Are you kidding me? I feel like it's like float in this float that they have. That's probably what he wants. I don't know. He wants me to splash him. I'm already in 18 minutes. Right for timing. We're going to drive around the island and check out some tourist spots. We got 7.30 to celebrate Chandler's birthday tonight. I have a little less than an hour to kill so I think I'm going to go upstairs and take some pictures with Ryan on my little tripod I brought. This tripod is like amazing if you have a vlog camera or even if you just want like a mini one for your phone. It's from Manfrotto and I'll definitely link it down below. I personally like it better than the Gorilla Pot. I think that's what it's called. And then I just have this little attachment that you can put on the tripod through your phone. I made like red velvet cake, which like looks so good. I'm so ready to devour it, but first we're going to dinner. I think it's a Hawaiian restaurant. So hopefully they'll have a pina colada because last night or when was the night that we ate out? I think it was like the night before. They had a pina colada on the menu, but it was like a fancy like a unique pina colada. Like they added some random stuff and it just not my cup of tea. This is Chandler. This is Mike's girlfriend. So Mike is Ryan's brother. Ryan is my boyfriend and this is her house. But I wanted her to tell the Boo Hag story. She's been so good at giving us all this history of Charleston. So it's been really interesting. Okay, take it away. All right. Well, if you notice most Charleston houses will have blue paint on their ceilings with their porches. There is a reason behind that. It's called paint blue. It's a specific blue and that is to keep the Boo Hag away. Now the Boo Hag is a creature that will come into your house like through little doorways, windows, cracks, holes, and it will come in while you're sleeping and it will sit on your chest and it will actually take your skin and wear it and steal you basically. Oh really? That's what? Oh my gosh. Okay. Wait, do you have the photos pulled up? If you have watched the movie Insidious, it kind of like looks like that. I don't know. It's kind of creepy. It's kind of a little like devilish or anything. Let me focus in on it. It will steal your soul and it only comes out at night. It's afraid of daylight in the sky. So the purpose of painting your porch blue is to convince the Boo Hag that it's daytime so that it doesn't try and come in and steal your body, which is very scary. They call it very similar to a vampire, but instead of stealing blood, it steals your breath. Breath? Breath, like you. Like it sucks you into them. Okay, I'm gonna have nightmares tonight, but let me show you guys. So that's why you gotta paint your porch stealing blue. Yep, and it's blue.
