 Welcome back to another vlog. New nail color. What do we think? This vlog's just gonna be a couple days in my life because last week I was planning on vlogging and getting a whole bunch of stuff done and then I was literally just in bed fighting off something the entire week. It was really rough. I never actually ended up getting sick. I just felt so exhausted and my glands were super, super swollen. I just had no energy and literally all I could do was just lay in bed and drink a bunch of fluids. I don't know what it was, but my body won. Thank the Lord. And I'm feeling a lot better now, but it just kinda sucks because I have a lot of stuff coming up this next month and I have a lot of work that I wanted to get caught up on and things around the apartment and it sucks because I feel like I had an entire week that kinda went to waste but we're gonna make up for it this week. My friend Julia is coming to visit Friday night. She's staying with me for the weekend. I am so excited and then I'm gonna be going home for a few weeks to visit my family and to celebrate my 30th birthday and then I think the week after I get back here my parents are coming down and visiting me for a week. So it's gonna be a lot of go, go, go. I'm seeing a lot of people which I'm really excited about but I'm not gonna have a lot of time to myself to get work done. So I want to prerecord some videos, make sure my apartment is nice and clean and just all of my to-dos are taken care of. As far as what we have on the agenda for today I am meeting up with my friend Haley later this afternoon. She asked if I could touch up her highlights so we're gonna be doing her hair. And we're also gonna do a little bit of shopping. Maybe I'll get a birthday outfit. But before we get started with our day I wanna say thank you to Babbel for sponsoring this portion of the vlog. Babbel is a language learning app they use award winning technology proven to get you speaking a foreign language in just three weeks. Babbel teaches real world practical conversations and they teach more than just vocab. You'll learn about that languages, culture, people, history and more. I actually took many years of French. I started French when I was in seventh grade and then I took it up until my sophomore junior year of college. A lot of French. But even still after all those years of it I still am not fluent at all whatsoever. I feel like I know a good amount of vocab and if I'm reading French I can translate it pretty easily. If I hear it I can kind of get the gist of the conversation but I could not hold a conversation myself to save my life. I mean maybe at like an elementary school level kind of but even that is a little rough. So I wanted to try out Babbel so that I could improve my French and hopefully maybe eventually become fluent in it. With summer travel coming up it's perfect because Babbel offers short 10 minute on the go sessions. I've been trying to spend as much time as possible outside so I love that I can just bring my phone with me do a quick Babbel lesson whether I'm sitting by the pool at the beach or just like out on my balcony. Manger bra. Manger bebe. And especially like I said I have all these plans coming up and I'm gonna be doing a lot of traveling and being all over the place. So it's nice that I can still do my lessons, keep up with them but it's not gonna take out a huge portion of my day. So if you wanna try out Babbel for yourself check the description box and click my link to get 65% off of your subscription to Babbel. Thank you so much Babbel for sponsoring this portion of the vlog. I actually already did my little 10 minute lesson this morning while I had my coffee on the balcony. So let's go get ready and get our day started. Okay, actually before I get ready I'm gonna have some breakfast. I made a little egg, tomato and cheese scramble with some turkey pepperoni on the side for some extra protein. And then I roasted up some potatoes in the air fryer and I just seasoned them with a bunch of stuff. Salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder. Zellicious. Here's my little OOTD. I have this midi body con cotton dress on. Actually the entire outfit literally head to toe is H&M. Funny enough. Sweatshirt, I just tied it up and kinda tucked it in a little bit so it would fit more cropped and combat boots. Like I said, everything from H&M. It has felt like straight up summer for weeks now. It's been reaching up to 90 degrees. It's been humid, sunny, so nice. And I don't know, yesterday the temperature just dropped out of nowhere and now the high I think is supposed to be like 70. Still not terrible, but definitely a little bit on the chillier side compared to what I'm becoming used to now and what we've had recently. I'm just gonna grab some supplies to do Haley's hair with. We're gonna go to the beauty supply store to actually get the product that we need because I don't have the right toner and all of that. But I'm gonna bring obviously like my measuring cup, foiling comb, color brush, cape, shears. Cause I'm pretty sure she wants to trim her bangs, whisk, color bottle, and color bowl of course. I think that's everything I am bringing Benny because her dog Xena is his absolute best friend in the whole world, his girlfriend, love of his life. So we're gonna let them have a little play date and hang out while we spend the day together. And I think she said she wants to do some shopping too. She actually has a bachelorette party coming up later this week. So I think there's a couple more things that she wants to look for. All right, let's head out. Obviously I wanna show you the stuff that I got while we were out today. Actually you were in the fitting room while I was trying everything on, but beautiful is this hot pink dress. I got it from Express and it was in the clearance section. It was marked down and then it was an extra 50% off on top of that. So I got this for 40 bucks. So I think this might be my birthday dress. And then I also got these dress pants from Express. These were also in the clearance section. I think they're just gonna look so cute. I'm imagining wearing them with a little crop top or maybe like a little sports bra kind of situation with a jacket. I love having dressier pieces like this and then dressing them down with more casual pieces. And then, oh my God, these shoes. I was really on the fence about them because I was like, where the hell am I gonna wear these first of all? Especially because like the heel is so high they're actually really comfortable to walk in and like easy to walk in. But I know after an hour, my feet are gonna absolutely be killing me. So I kind of would need to wear these somewhere where I'm gonna be sitting most of the night but they are just too stunning to turn down. Like look at all of the details. I love the chain on the side and they just look so good on. I wish that I was getting married sometime soon because I feel like these would be such bad ass wedding shoes. But yeah, they're by Steve Madden and the style name is Veronica, Veronica Clear. And I had to size up a little bit because they kind of run small. They fit a little bit tight. You know when you see something in a store and you just like can't put it down, you just like keep coming back to it and you keep thinking about it and you're like trying to justify it in your head and you're like, uh, I don't know. Is it worth it? I don't know if this like how often am I actually gonna wear it? But I just felt like if I left the store right now without these, I definitely would be thinking about them and I would wanna go back for them. And I think I would regret not getting them. So I figured I'll get them. I'll try them on some more at home and like sleep on it and then see and I can always take them back. It's 30 days to return them as long as I don't wear them out anywhere. And then we also went to Ulta. That was actually the first place we went to. This is just a regular NYX lip pencil in the shade natural. It looks very close to my natural lip shade, which I really like the look of on like a no makeup day or really light natural makeup day. And then I saw this NYX, this is juice gloss, electrolyte infused color. It has like the tiniest little bit of tint to it, but it just looks so juicy and super, super glossy. So I thought again, on like a no makeup day, light makeup day, I could overline ever so slightly with the slip liner and then put this gloss on top and I just thought they would look so good. And then I've kind of been in the mood to get a new blush. I didn't really need this, but this is the NYX Sweet Cheeks Matte Blush in the shade daydream. It's a creamy powder blush. And I don't know, it just looked really pretty. That's what it looks like. It's just a really nice peachy blush, which right now I don't have, I have like a really light pink shade. And then I have like a more hot pink color, but I really like the peachy tones, especially in the summer with a tan. And then I got the ELF Camo Powder Foundation because I've been seeing Taylor Wynn rave about this a lot lately. She said that it's really, really blurring and it makes her skin look very airbrushed. And she uses this on top of liquid foundation, just kind of like presses it in to set her makeup. And she said it completely blurs all of her pores and any texture. Ooh. Okay, hold on. My hand, some texture on it. You can tell. Oh my God, in person, it's like, oh my God. But I don't know if you can really tell on the camera, like where I put the powder here. Oh my God, it just made it look so smooth. And it like, all with a little texture, just like filled it right in. Ooh, okay, that is nice, I'm gonna like that. I got it in the shade Light 240 W. Tomorrow, Hailey and I are going out again. We didn't end up having enough time to get to all the shopping that we wanted to. Cause by the time I met up with her, it was already like around one o'clock. And then we needed to get back so I could do her hair, which by the way, I know I didn't really get many clips of that. By the time we started it, I was starting to feel kind of tired and I just was like, I just wanna get this over with. I wasn't worried about like pulling out the camera and getting a bunch of clips, so sorry about that. But I'll show you tomorrow what it looks like cause we're gonna hang out again tomorrow once it's dry. So you can see the color. We didn't really do anything different though. I basically just brought her highlights up a little bit higher, but still like kept her dark root and everything the same. Just brightened it up a little bit more like around her face. And then I shortened her face frame pieces a little bit and just like refreshed her layers, did a little trim, all of that. But yeah, we wanted to get back so that I would have time to do her hair cause her hair's so thick, she's so much, it's so long. So it always takes like at least three hours start to finish between bleaching, toning, cutting, everything. So yeah, we didn't end up having enough time to get to all of the stores that we wanted to. So tomorrow we are gonna go back out again and continue our shopping spree. And I will probably do a little bit of some light makeup just so I can try out these new products. So we can try everything out together in the morning. I'm gonna go put this stuff away though and get ready for bed because it's already almost 10 30, I'm quite tired. So I'll see you guys in the morning. Good morning. I'm gonna get ready and try the new products that I got yesterday for my base. I'm gonna mix the Super Goop Glow Screen sunscreen with the Fenty Beauty Pro Filter Hydrating Long Wear Foundation. Just to give a little bit of coverage, but I still just want it to look like my skin. Then I'm gonna put some of the Tarte CC under a correcting concealer under my eyes. And then just for a little more coverage, I'm just gonna put a couple dots of the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. And then I'm gonna set my T-zone area with that new ELF powder. Then I'm doing a little bit of Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer. And then we're gonna do the new Nix Sweet Cheeks Blush Pigmented Benefit Gimmie Brow. Just running a little bit of that. And then for lips, my new lip liner. This is Nix in the shade Natural. I'm gonna put a little bit of this Juicy Gloss on top. Oh, so pretty. So there's how my makeup looks. I like it. It's nice and light. Really like this lip combo a lot. I will link all the products that I just used in the description. I'm gonna make a nice coffee. We're gonna do some Vanilla Medium Roast Starbucks. And I just do plain half and half. That coffee already is a little bit sweet, so I don't like to overdo it. Let me see what the weather's supposed to be like today. Oh, pretty much the same as yesterday. The high's supposed to be 72. I think I'm going to wear those new pants that I got yesterday. And I don't know what shirt I wanna do. Some kind of crop top. Thinking maybe this blue one. This little top from American Eagle. Here's the outfit I'm gonna wear. So those new pants that I showed you from Express, how freaking cute. I just love the fit of them. How the legs kind of like flare out a little bit. I feel like they're just so flattering. Look how good my butt looks. Oh my God. This is your sign. Go out right now and get yourself some dress pants. If you don't already have some, you need them. Crop top like I showed you is from American Eagle. And I threw on this snake chain necklace from Vibe Season Adidas baseball hats. And then I think I'm just gonna wear these Adidas sneakers. Okay, that makeup didn't really hold up so well. I'm looking a little crusty busty. Yeah. I mean, from a distance it still looks pretty good, but whatever, it's fine. I still really loved that lip combo though. But home for the day, wanna show you a little haul again of more stuff that I got. It was such a good day though. And I'm glad that we were able to hang out because I don't know when's the next time I'm gonna see her because like I said, she's going away for a trip. And then by the time she gets back, I'm gonna be leaving shortly thereafter and I'm gonna be gone for like at least two weeks. So yeah, it's gonna be a while. So it was nice to just get to spend time together and go out, run errands, do a little shopping, have some girls time. So we went to H&M and I got these heels. How cute, I love the strappy look and the heel is like the perfect height. Little block heel, not too high so they should be pretty comfortable. And I feel like something like this is a staple and a good basic to have. And then I got a couple things from Target. I had just a few things I needed to restock on, some liquid IV. This Nivia cream is amazing, staple, love this stuff. I slather this on my face every night before bed. I put it on my body, I just love it. It is so thick and nourishing. Oh, look at that stuff. Holy grail product. And then I got a body scrub and then I needed more deodorant. So I decided to try getting a men's deodorant. I've been obsessed with watching Taylor Wynn's videos and she uses Old Spice deodorant. Thought I would try it out. And this one's aluminum free. It's the wilderness with lavender scent and it smells nothing like lavender but it does smell really good. And then I got this bra that I didn't need but how freaking cute is it? And I was thinking this with a button up top, a little bit unbuttoned so that you can see the bra sticking out a little bit. Tucked into some denim shorts or jeans with like a bunch of layered necklaces. It's from the Auden brand at Target. So yeah, that's my little haul. I'm gonna go put this stuff away. This is how I was envisioning the bra. Obviously, the shirt will be buttoned up a little bit like up to here and then with jeans, so cute. You can kind of see your nipple through it a little bit because it is pretty sheer but so pretty. And look how cute the shoes look. They're so cute and they're super comfortable. They're like the perfect height. I love the square toe. Something about it I just think is like really flattering. Love, you need these. Get them immediately. I'll put a link in the description. Oh my God, I'm very happy that I got these. Well, I just hit record and I feel like in the viewfinder it looks like I've been crying. My allergies are just kind of acting up. I just sneezed like six times in a row. I'm fine, I'm not crying, I promise. I have been sitting here editing this vlog and it's actually a lot longer than I realized it was. So I am just going to wash my face and get ready for bed. It's already 9 p.m. So this day is over for me and I'm gonna wrap up this vlog here. Like I said, my friend Julia is coming to visit in a couple of days. She's staying for the weekend. So I'm definitely going to vlog while she's here and I'm very, very excited. So stay tuned for another vlog very soon. Thank you guys so much for watching. I will see you in the next one. Bye.
