 Good morning guys. I'm back from New York. I got on last night at like 2 a.m. Our flight was 3 hours delayed. The past week in New York, if you guys watch the vlogs, were such a mess. The pop-up was incredibly successful. Everything worked out, but I got food poisoning for like 2 and a half days through to Israel. I was so sick. All of our inventory almost didn't arrive and then our flight got so delayed. But it is a new week and today is the day that I have been looking forward to and talking about non-stop. Today is the day that my grandmother aka Maiga, I gave her the name when I was a baby because I couldn't say my grandma, she doesn't call her Maiga to my friends also call her Maiga. Today is the day that we start the garden on my rooftop. It's a long way today. I am in my Martha Stewart era. I woke up early. I scrubbed off every last self-tanner on my body, every single thing. I'm in Uggs and sweats and a sweater. Got a pumpkin coffee and I am just like so excited for today. I'm going to Sprouts because my grandma or Maiga, I never call her my grandma. I always say Maiga. What do you guys call your grandparents? And yes, I am the favorite grandchild. I like to think because actually I'm also just the oldest to like this you know, happen in order because I gave her the name. She really likes the olipop root beer and I'm out of that and I just need to get stuff to make like tomato soup. I still am not eating like super heavy solid food since food poisoning. Like I've been living off of soups for the past since Thursday and today's Monday for Wednesday. I don't know guys. I don't have any reference of time but today is an incredible day because I am starting it off at Sprouts. And tomorrow, Colleen Hoover's new book comes out and today is the launch of the O'Kine Skies and Beanie's online and Taylor Swift's new album also comes out and then on Friday I go to my friend, my first friend's wedding. It's like really a really good time. But I'm home for the next two months besides this weekend and then potentially if we go on a birthday trip for friends. I'm just so happy to be home. The fall vlogs are back in action. Dom is coming for Halloween weekend. We're doing a really cool thing, like a cool deal and going to see a great artist. You guys will die over. The live show is November 11th. Get your tickets if y'all are in Dallas. It's just gonna be a really good time but I'm feeling like I'm in my vlog era. I'm in my fall vlog era and that is what I needed. I think it's what we needed. I think it's what you needed, you know? So subscribe because you're new. This is my coffee. I also got a pumpkin sauce, like one pumpkin sauce. I don't know why it's not in there but. That was so refreshing. It woke me up. It was everything that I could have ever needed. I love these wraps. Oh my goodness. You think it looks so much better? Great. But this is what's so annoying is I can't keep this floor clean. There's no way. It rained while I was gone. Here's my new garden and kit and then here is the garden. The raised garden. They just moved this stuff because they're power washing. We are gonna try Jimmy's food store. I've heard there's great sandwiches and that's what we want for lunch. Everything here looks so good. The cookie dough. Wow. It smells so good. The fresh pasta. I mean it smells so good. This is incredible. Yeah, my idiot pickle. Oh yeah. Definitely these. Shout out to Jimmy's. That was an absolute dream. That was so incredible and I will be there all the time. We got tiramisu, we got sandwiches, we got pickles. Like I could spend forever there. Okay, we made it to Redenta's, which is my preferred place to plan. It's very calming. It's very cute. It's literally just off-skill man. Seeds for a garden. See they have so much stuff. But how much is too much? I definitely need basil. I definitely need thyme. Okay, well then. We're gonna do onions, we're gonna do garlic. Yeah. I just like to do seeds because it's fun to watch. Mm-hmm. Watch it come out. You know what this weirdly reminds me of? You know when you used to make our Halloween costumes and like the packaging that we go to the craft store? Like this is giving me those flashbacks. What about peppers? Yeah, sure. Why not? This little thing here will get eventually. Really? Okay, let's do that. That big. Oregano does this. You have to cut that back because it's it's called going to seed. So you just cut all of that off. You don't want that flower on there. Okay. On the oregano? So when your oregano grows, yeah, you'll get this. And any time you get like a dead leaf, you cut that off. What is it called? Deadheading. Okay, guys, this is what we're getting. Cucumbers, peppers, Maiga brought. I told them what to call you Maiga. I told them the story of how you were named Maiga by me. Maiga got from me onions and garlic, so I don't need to get those. All right, so some jammies. I forgot you even got the jaramisu. Sandwiches, they look incredible. Got pickles, as we know. Amanda loves pickles. So these, I'm excited for. The hot sweet ones. Garlic. That was just an incredible experience. All right, we made it to the roof, guys. Carried everything up. I'm out of breath. I'm going to probably get this rug opened and move that over here. Maiga has her visor on. We have our soil. These are, I'm like so out of breath. These are some of the plants we went with. We got basil, rosemary. What else did we get? Oregano and then, what am I meant? I'm like out of it right now. And then we also have these seeds, which are pepper and then cucumbers. I don't know. Everyone was commenting saying their cucumber gets so big, so I'm not sure if I'll have space for that. But I do. Like the vision is to make pickles. Oh wow. Garlic and onion. Thanks so much. She came prepared. And, oh yeah, beautiful. Oh, so she got tulips. So I'm gonna, that's why I got this new pot. And then I also got those plastic things so that the soil will stop getting all over my freshly power washed floor. Maiga decided she breaks a nail. She's gonna sue me, so I'll keep you guys posted on our legal battle. Lack of sleep. I got home so late last night and I will think. So I'm gonna make some coffee. I'm not gonna take a nap. I need to get some work done. So I actually want to try my new pumpkin spice, like super food creamer. It just looks good today. It sprouts. Maiga left and we finished what we're doing on the rooftop today. I have a task rabbit coming over right now and he's going to get rid of one of my umbrellas because one of them is just done for. Here we are making some coffee. One of the umbrellas is done for so he's gonna get rid of that one and then some of the trash bags. And I'm gonna give you guys a little tour of the garden. It's so exciting. I've already decided I'm gonna get another raised bed so then I can do kale and more cucumbers. Right now we have basil, oregano, thyme, mint, peppers, onions, and like a cucumber too. We're just gonna like test it out, see what works. My grandma gardens a lot with her friends. She lives like in an area with all of her friends and one of her friends and her like garden together. So that's why I'm having her help me because she obviously knows what she's doing and I don't. My house feels amazing. It's just so nice to be home because something about this is giving me the egg. I don't know. Like no it's good. I've gotta wake up though because Martha would and also I'm gonna make some tomato soup tonight. It is so easy. Like I'm sure a lot of you guys know how to make it but I have never just made it at home. Obviously the only time I have tomato soup is like out of a can or like pre-made or whatever and I made it actually for my grandma when she was here maybe like two weeks ago at my house and it was really good. Today has been such a good day. I can't get over Jimmy's food store. I cannot believe I haven't been there already. It was fabulous. I need to start making more Dallas TikToks. Jimmy's it's happening immediately. So I've decided giving us a little rooftop update. I wish I decided this when I first moved and I haven't done it yet. I'm gonna get a fence type thing to block off the AC unit because it's just ugly. I do want to get a second raised bed and I don't know if I'm gonna buy that like immediately. I've just been spending a lot of money but maybe I might as well order it honestly. Yeah I might as well order it. Yeah okay. The Okine launch happened earlier today and it's been going so well. We are like running through inventory which is great news. I have a lot of stuff I need to do for that tonight. Like just brainstorming because for the puff bag that you guys saw in the New York solo day vlog and also just throughout the New York vlogs that launches like pretty soon. So we've got to shoot that and do all that stuff very soon. So trying to get all that together and then we have some other things that are happening and just like you know it's great. I love my life. Okay so today we're going to rooftop and I'm gonna show you guys what is happening in my garden. I'm so happy. Roof update. I hate that the AC is going off but this is the update. So those are tulips that will be blooming in a long time from now. So the plants are not going to be out over here like this. They're just holding the rug down for the time being. This umbrella is going to go. Finally today all of this is trash. The stand bags I think we actually might keep. My grandmother is Micah. It was a seamstress. My mom owned two companies. Well they both did together. One that was budding. One that was drapery. It was like in evens. It did very well. Anyways she was like head seamstress. I don't even know if that's like the right word but she can sew and like literally do everything. So she's decided and taken it upon herself even though I said I would just buy a new one that she wants to make a new umbrella cover. So that's gonna be great and then she's gonna do what like a Christmas skirt would be over this and we're gonna fill it with sand. So then it's fine which is exciting but then over here the one thing that I don't like about this is I don't like seeing the plastic here. We're also gonna like dough with like oil on the teak wood but I don't like seeing this plastic here but we need that and this isn't gonna bloom for a while. I got this at Redentos today. Like the AC it's actually my arch that misses. It just ruins my zen. Okay. Oh I'm gonna get cute little like tag things off Etsy like what everything is. So right here men's rosemary oregano basil which is like literally already up and going. I can actually use that today and then we have everything else like planted just strategically through here. I think I'm gonna do another bed though because I want space for kale and I just want more space. Who would have thought me? Actually I would have thought but I am living my best Martha Stewart life in a two bedroom townhouse in the city. It's impressive. You get the best in both worlds. You get the bars. You get the scene but you also get the rooftop and the garden and if it weren't for the AC you would have peace and tranquility out here but the AC is literally ruining my life. Also guys unfortunately my cushions on my beds have turned purple which we don't love but it kind of is what it is for the time being. So anyways the trash bags and then the little like cardboard things the umbrella and then just the other trash bags like those are gonna go today. I have to have someone obviously I can't do that myself and I just need a truck to dispose of it. My trash is already full that's why I had to have people come a lot because like when you have a house you only have a certain amount of trash and I just I have too much stuff that it not too much stuff but like I go out of packages and a lot of stuff goes in recycling and you guys get what I'm saying. That's the one thing I do miss about apartment living is that you just have a trash too. So anyways also obviously that's literally not gonna fit in my trash but I don't know why I'm justifying this I'm just trying to explain to you who cares none of you care. My guess is that these are looking great and I was kind of worried they weren't but she said no they look awesome. So we have to just add some like soil around a few more plants like these those two and then those two so most of them tomorrow and then it'll be a lot better. Alright I'm gonna make some tomato soup. Normally I roast the garlic as is but I'm gonna try it a little different way okay. Onion, heirloom tomatoes and then I'm gonna roast on my pan at 400 for 30 minutes that's olive oil and then I put it in a blender with a little bit of oat milk a little bit of basil you obviously want to season these. Easiest thing in the world to make and I know most of you probably know how to make this but just in case you guys wanted to know how I make it this is what I do again literally the easiest thing that I could ever make. Who else is just so happy to see the pups back in the vlogs? I know it was two without them. I guess they're not even in every vlog they're just next to me as I'm vlogging fits is unbelievably big it's actually insane. I just got the best idea for our pepper bag shoot for the okay so I just made the vision board and making soup. I am just so tired I am like my face is like not okay it is 530 oh my god like my eyes are watering that is how tired I am. Oh my guys like it looks like I'm crying I look like I'm high almost I really am not high I promise but well what is going on just finished my tomato basil soup gonna do a little taste test again guys I'm so tired like my face doesn't even look like my face and this is so good like it is just so good obviously it's better with grilled cheese but I can't even bother today like I really can't I was making a real like showing how I make this because it's so easy but the guy actually I just like I can't even bother to make this cute it's really good. I have showered I put on a little bit of self-tanner I scrubbed my body again and then I don't really know why I'm doing this to myself but I'm retrying the Luxe unfiltered gradual hydrating and self tanning cream I used to love this stuff I guess I look like I'm high I'm so deliriously tired I used to love the Luxe unfiltered stuff it was incredible and then all of a sudden just started going like on my skin really blotchy even though I love it so I don't know what was going on but I figured because I exfoliated so much there's still some weird stuff on my legs and I went over it that's on me you know that's me problem I want to try it especially for winter because it's easier if I just like keep it up I also as you can see here I got my outfit out for Pilates tomorrow and it is literally 6 12 p.m. guys is this one worth it is when I'm trying to make it to 7 guys at 6 23 I am going to finish my soup drink some water get some more worked on and then at 7 I am off to bed we both have imposter syndrome and I think everyone does and there are days that both of us are like oh my god I've never like you do you spiral in thinking catastrophes like for me personally I'm like it'll happen like once a month where I'm like oh my god it's done nothing I'm not like I'll never get to where I want to be I'm so far behind him shows this and that and whatever and like it it really is normal to feel those
