 Hey you guys, it is the day before 4th of July bringing all the way down Y'all this is a type of cleavage. I'm working with Give y'all an update. I already gave you an update last time Anyway Boo boo hush So we're waiting on my neighbor sign to come over girl Let me just go ahead and take take an anxiety pill now both of them baby Um Let me ask you guys for some for some advice because I do like feedback. I welcome any type of feedback whatever it be positive Constructive feedback I welcome feedback and I do listen to you guys So I had someone on my last video suggested I make my videos a little bit longer because YouTube pushes out videos That are yeah, they have to be over five minutes between five six seven eight minutes I know when I was with Univision They recommended not making your videos more than five minutes Right now my average video Ranges between three to four minutes, but it's all over the place to be quite frankly But my last few videos have been short but before that they're around three or four minutes This is for reviews a lot of that is due to the fact to that I only review one product in a setting a lot of the other Reviewers like Linda or Budsby. They do an entire collection So their reviews can be eight or minutes even if I don't take out footage It's only six or eight minutes of footage you guys excuse me even even when I don't edit out I'm with that being said my average watch time is only three minutes when my videos for longer My average watch time was only four minutes. I have close to 16,000 subscribers only five percent of you guys watch my videos That is very little Yeah, no, I'm not on here for views or for money I'm wondering because it's a hobby But I still want to be providing good content and if you guys want longer videos Absolutely, I can make them a little bit longer But I guess my point in my point is what is it gonna be for? because I'm still going to get only five percent watching those longer videos and Most of the people are not gonna watch no more than three minutes You see what I'm saying. So is it worth adding more footage at the end of the day Anyway, go but y'all let me know I will still you know, listen to what you guys have to say Hey y'all back from the gym I didn't really do an intense workout because again, I'm trying to take it slow. This is only my My fourth time back at the gym And I've been out for about seven weeks. Let me take off my shoes. I am gonna buy some more Gym shoes, I only have three pair girl. Maybe not even that. Yeah, three pair. I want to buy another pair Just to have I did a little bit of straighten up Let me tell y'all how I straighten up now my house. I keep my house visitor ready now that may be some little stuff out but Most people don't just know, you know, not to show up at my house unannounced, you know, girl That's some uh, that's some seriously extrovert stuff going on. They do that out in the country though. Oh, yes I remember growing up Because they didn't have cell phones back then I remember I mean of course we had our home phone But I remember growing up and a lot of times she's family members. We just stopped by Just stop by under now. She stopped by what you're doing. What are you doing? We're just gonna stop by And my parents were fine with that girl not me you've been not ever show up at my door unannounced You will be knocking forever. But anyway, in case just in general, I like to keep my house pretty much tip-top Things are in its order. So what I do It's not like that all the time But what I do at least twice a week to help me just so that I'm not doing a lot of cleaning on the weekend I do speed cleaning quote-unquote. So I take a good I took a good 30 to 40 minutes I spent five minutes in each room putting stuff away putting stuff in order anything that doesn't need to be in that area I'm moving I focus on that one room once it looks pretty good I'm going to the next room now I've done most of all the rooms but our bedroom and our master bathroom now This doesn't include this not this doesn't include wiping down countertops wiping mirrors none of that I'm just making sure everything's in order So hey you guys, this is our just show you a little bit more insight of our homeschooling This is our site word three and again I have some site word cards here that I made and then we have We have Bob books that we we read so baby What I one of the things I highly recommend or these Cards Hot dot juniors reading I have candy gardenings one Maybe they can't hear me and this is interactive. So what happens is I don't know if I've showed you this before Jamie, can you show them how this works? Sweetheart here. So you try Do the right thing so we're doing ending ending ending constant milk oh See, all right. Did you do did you? Oh, I didn't hear it. And then what about the next one barn? Oh, it farm farm Is it working is it on let me turn it up son So I want them I want them in so he has the owl one owl and then the other one is a Y'all know I'm from Texas owl We don't say everything owl and then the other one is a doggy. So the next one is so Can you try this sweetheart? I'll show them Now let's bring it up a little bit one frog Now this is what I happen if they do the wrong one Okay, and this would again. Oh There we go. So the good thing I like about this is that he can do this I can monitor him But he could do this mostly on his own and that's the kindergarten one And then I have another one here that has everything from sight words time and money. We have patterns here We have science Uh-huh. We have Again sight words. Let's see if you know a little bit of this doka Science, let's do this sign once the ending constant as you've been really good at I just want to see where you're at So where do you think milk comes from you need to determine where these full That's a big word. You need to figure out where these food comes from reason. So we have milk Can you get your owl? So there's first row honey, so you have to choose from this first row Let's see So that's how that works This one is popcorn. It's gonna be a little bit more difficult. Where do you think popcorn comes from does it come from a sheep? corn or carrots popcorn I don't know you try to figure it out What about eggs does it come from a goat? Oh Let's see what the other side is. Oh same thing. You can do that, baby. Go ahead word book the bop's book um We'll read that together and we have a couple of other books over here that I got from the library Now I'm The library we go to is very small. So the resources are limited I may have to baby We may have to go into phoenix to actually get some more books because I definitely want to focus on Books that have some brown children. Well, not necessarily focus on I would like to include books that have brown children And it's funny It's only been a month that we've been at this library and that's it We're running out of books with brown kids. So this is a great book. I think it's a good time to start We've already been talking about our body this one. Um discusses my body belongs to me from head to toe Elephants in the dark Yeah, I see that baby a lullaby of summer thing. She's the brown a brown baby And then he he loves this book What is his book called baby? I am back on my old camera Because my canon camera has decided not to turn on I am Pissed is the word. I am pissed off I was on the phone with canon and they were like, well Um at this point we can only do a trade in For the sorry y'all this camera is for the 300 dollar difference almost 300 dollars I know some of you like what you can continue to use this camera Yes, but the thing is is that the quality compared To my freaking the mark g76 canon. That's like a proactive commercial This is like kmart It's great. You can get some good deals. You can see a little bit but with that camera And if I plan on, you know, I want to be consistent consistent Excuse me with the quality of my content and going back to using this. This is this is actually jayvies camera girl You have to understand I I have not had this camera for a year It will be it will be a year later on this month Oh my god I'm gonna see if I can get like some type of extended warranty with this bull too Y'all they came back from outside inside When I tell you that I have had to pull jb over to the side I gave him one cup popping on the butt And he fought back some gangster tears because his little friend is here too And I don't smoke him in front of other people. I brought him back to the back I've canceled chucky jesus because that's rewarding you for acting a damn fool My husband's like he's like he needs to get back into karate. I like karate doesn't help discipline your kids The parents discipline kids And that's gonna help with you being you know obedient, but it starts in the home and he's just over He's over excited because his little boy is here And he literally we don't have people over. I mean, he's only five years old But we don't have people over and so for him to have a little friend over This is the first time in months that he's had someone over. So he's super excited. He's not listening. He's loud We're at raisin kane jb's place mommy got something and there's thomas. Can you see hi thomas? Now we had a rough morning because somebody acted It's me Is it you he said you oh gosh one day you got a whole other day to be good. Okay You got one more day to be good Yeah, no we can't put it down baby. It's glass put it down Does it say it says do not touch? Yeah, thank you I've caught myself a glass of wine. I think I might have tacos and get tonight. Yeah, I love tacos Just bean and corn tacos will detangle my hair tomorrow and wash thursday Box up this dango raggedy Uh, we'll probably move that off on friday. What else? Um, we're not doing anything for for july y'all another reason why I Get a little uh homesick being away from family We don't have any close friends or family here and my husband works a lot of holidays He there's only a few times where he's actually off doing the home base holidays because he works in the medical field So it's just jay b and i and before I had jay b which is myself on the holidays by myself. Um Something I wanted to say I don't remember. Oh I have yeah, I've been buying products. I recently purchased the kinky tresses um Moisture bundle and I purchased a 20 second citron. I'll put the camera down so y'all can see me I purchased the um Kinky tresses moisture bundle which includes oil leaving and the butter and there was a um busby has a coupon code for that So I was able to get like 15 off Where shipping was only 30 dollars or so 30 something dollars I also purchased the shampoo shampoo bar from the 22nd century I'm still a little lyrian by purchase in her deep conditioners So I want to get purchased the shampoo bar and it was funny a couple of people were seeing how their hair was active in certain type of way with the shampoo bar She made it very clear in some of her videos and I shouldn't say she made it very clear But she has stated in several of her videos, which I love her videos I don't know this. I love the way she talks sometimes she takes she seems like a type of person First of all, she's an old soul. She's an old spirit. I love the way she dictates her word and the way she speaks um I know those bitter bunnies on on A lipstick alley were talking about that how that that Some of them didn't like the way she speak people are so damn bitter. You worried about the wrong stuff So anyway, I love the way she articulates. I should say she takes her time when she speaks unlike me Um, so anyway, I purchased her shampoo board in lavender So she thinks that you have to detox your hair before using the shampoo board and to be consistent with it So I have been using I try to stick to the same shampoos between jane quarter And that main choice maybe that main choice shampoo is a bomb That's what I've been using but once I get this shampoo board, which I will be reviewing I would definitely be using that consistently only her shampoo boards Nothing else is going on my volunteer starts this sunday You're so right go for from conquer, you know, the lord gives you what your heart desires and I I wanted to um, you know do my volunteer training and I really do think that I've come to this and I I'm still doing my purpose-driven journey You guys if you're those of you who are wondering about that that series is still going I will more than likely like I said the next video will be focused and I do have note notes I've been writing notes and stuff and I'm back on track staying focused doing my morning routine. And so, um I've come to a point though to where And let me know what y'all think about this I'm not sure if your purpose necessarily has to do with a line with your career Um, it will be great If that was the case, but I've come to a point to where my purpose may be separate from my career Let me know what do y'all think about that? I think so many people get caught up on Their career and their job being their purpose, but I don't know about that. I'm really not. I think your purpose can be separate from your career Like I said, it will be great if they both go hand in hand But yeah, I'm not sure if that's at least for me personally where I'm at. I'm not sure if that's where I'm supposed to be headed I feel like especially with the church situation Because I'm uncomfortable and I don't want to do it and I'm trying to get out of it But still there's I'm still getting these signs that you know, this is something I should be doing I think that is something that God wants me to do Because sometimes he places us in uncomfortable situations to build character, right? So isn't I like, you know, I'm going into a situation and I already know everything. I'm comfortable. It's cool. No You got to get uncomfortable, right? So This child so yeah, that's the sunday and I let y'all know how that goes And my husband I need a date night without jay b. The last two times jay b has gone out with us And he's been such a doll he really has but he needs to go ahead and go to an indoor playground for a while Hold on y'all What are y'all doing? So you guys I want to place in the middle of this vlog an impromptu evening cleaning routine This is what my house is looking like right now Um, I try to put things in order as I move along if something's out of order I go ahead and clean it up. I don't wait till it gets pretty crazy. So as you can see here, this is a den It's not too too too bad, but I did take the time this particular evening to clean and I do this Probably every two days or so not even that probably every three days. I will actually clean that night So here I am I have to unload the laundry and I'm gonna keep it 100 with y'all these clothes have been in there for three days Um for a warning. I am a self diagnosed hypochondriac. So I work I wear compression socks even though I have a two inch Veracose vein on one leg, but you can't tell me that girl. I'm wearing these compression socks all day Um, great birth control too. So taking out the laundry, excuse me pouring myself some water I try to drink water as I'm Working in the house and at this point. I'm going to go ahead and clean my kitchen Now I used to be really bad about leaving dishes in the sink I mean, it is what it is But I have gotten good about making sure there are no dishes in the sink because that's what makes your kitchen stinky. So, um Watching the dishes putting away some of the other dishes that are there that were drying earlier in the day I try to whenever possible to clean with natural um Products you'll see me cleaning with baking soda. I love to clean with um vinegar and apple cider vinegar Even hydrogen peroxide. There's also cleaning vinegar. I'm pretty sure most of y'all know this by now You can use dawn uh dish soap as a degreaser. So that right there is some vinegar and comment I'm going to be putting that in my sink to scrub that down here in a minute But I cannot do without my bleach My bleach and my pine salt I'm in my den the great thing about having a five-year-old is that they love to put their little raggedy as hot wheel cars and my decorations so just um Fluffing up the pillows and if you can see there on the floor, we have very dark wood hardwood floors And this patio door my husband goes out this back door every day to maintenance on the pool or even the backyard So i'm just sweeping up some dirt It's been a couple of days now And I also just like to go ahead and mop mop this little area now I'm sorry, but I only mop up floors maybe every two weeks. It is a big task I mean the hardware floors go throughout the den the den living room hallways About four rooms. And so yeah, it's a lot. So right now. This is what my kitchen table looks like and um I'm not going to do much but rearrange some papers. Look I like to keep stuff on my kitchen table We do eat up here every now and then but I like to keep stuff up here because I know where it's at My bills jb school stuff his costume My purse his backpack anything anything that I need to have access to I will go ahead and leave it here Okay, so next up. You're going to see me. Um Spray down the countertops. I have this um green works natural Spray and I like to sponge it down and then use a dry cloth to go ahead and dry off the countertops I also do this with my um stove my microwave and my refrigerator The laundry. Yeah, the majority of these I'm about to put on a bench and save in the morning It's almost nine o'clock at night. Who the hell has time to put up all these clothes Yeah, we're going to do half of it in the rest. We're going to save for the morning time So yeah, it is what it is. I ended up doing you know putting away half of the laundry and putting the rest on the side Now in the bathrooms, all I'm doing is wiping down the mirrors the sinks look okay The countertops look okay. You really don't need to do a lot Next up you're going to see me in JB's room. His room is not too too bad. Just putting some toys away in his closet Um, and yeah, I made up his bed a little bit, but it's nine o'clock. He's about to go to bed soon So again, just making sure everything is in order besides that one area over there This is what my little boy rooms look like. Let me zoom out some not bad at all. So I Not doing anything else is other corner um So all I'm going to do is put a little drops of lavender oil So next up or a few clips of all the rooms that I've cleaned again This is an evening cleaning routine that I do like I said every three days I'm a type of person. I clean as I go if something's messed up or if something is sturdy. I clean it I don't have designated clean cleaning days But if you guys are interested in seeing how I clean my house, let me know drop a note down and I will try to record Happy 4th of july everyone and it's 4th of july and yes girl not doing anything I've been watching movies all day cooking a little bit of dinner. My husband is at work This is how lazy I am. I don't like getting in our pool I don't I have to climb in the ladder get in give my titties. Yeah, no So I bought a little I bought a little kitty pool for JB. He's outside on patio playing on that I'm about to get him out I know this is starting to be a long vlog. I'm going to end this here and start the next vlog on friday Um, yeah, y'all it's been a weird week. I think it's because of the holiday in the middle of the week It's the holiday today. So it's been a really weird week. Excuse me. Um Real quick. I've been getting some comments on my weight loss. Thank you girl What I've been doing is intermittent fasting. I've missed in a couple of times I eat between 10 and 4. I don't do it every day. I try to stick to two meals snacking sometimes Um, and that's it now We started working out last week going to go to the gym. I'm not really tracking when I'm working out But because I'm making it a habit like it needs to be almost every day. There's no reason why Y'all JB like I told y'all earlier in the vlog JB was absolutely crazy when his friend was over here But let me tell y'all something that he told us You have to be very careful who you allow your child to be around I'm strict. I think that compared to most people I know we are not okay with being a strict parent. Um, because it's my responsibility to protect to try and protect my child Um, so this little boy Thomas and he's been over here before And he looks sweetest pie on the outside JB told me that he was cursing when they were in the back You know looking at tv with the doors closed the little boy was doing some very strong curse words I said, well, what did he say? I need to know exactly He said well, he was saying the f-word. I said, oh no at a card I said, well, what do we see it? It's something you did. He said in the cartoon. We're cursing at the cartoon now So look, you can do whatever you want in your household But we do not curse at JB and we try not to curse around him Now y'all hear me drop a little D word s, you know s bomb every now and then Whatever you do in your house. That's what that's your prerogative. Well, we try not to do that here um So I was like, wow, he's cursing and yeah, no And then he said this is JB. He said he said another curse word too. I said, oh lord, which one he said He said the s word he said stupid We treat words like stupid dumb hate very similar to curse word. I call them strong words So I tell JB I've taught I've taught him this in a young age You need to need to be very careful and mindful how you use these words We don't say stupid in this house. There's other words you could use besides stupid and dumb There's no there's no one who's dumb you guys. We're I really do believe that one of those corny people who believe that's not just a thing That's a dumb question What depends on But no, I'm teaching him teaching him that you know, we don't need to use that type of language So he said he said stupid, you know, he said that one for last so um Yeah, I'm gonna be keeping this child anymore I'm sorry and this this family they have an entire family they have siblings They have other people they can reach out to I'm just convenience because I'm right across the street Um, but yeah, not anymore. And this is not the first time I've caught this child using some inappropriate language I'm not I'm not even gonna get into what I heard him say a couple of weeks ago And I immediately told um the woman who was caring for him and she rolled her eyes Not at me but at him doing it because she's like he's out of control and I'm like, oh Yeah, again, you can do whatever you want for your child in your house, but I'm not allowing my child to be subjected to that type of stuff. So yeah, we can hang out. We could do play dates, but Young child cursing and I always hear, you know, my my best friend tried to spend that on me And yeah, I'm very upfront with people when my best friend's little girl was around Around this age around six to seven. She was like she's cursing and I don't know where she's getting it from I said she's getting it from you guys They're going to mimic the behavior that they're used to so if you cursing acting a fool That's why jbb acting sassy and all this because he sees me being this way He takes it to a whole another level because that's what his personality But he sees me this thing. I'm animated. He's like, oh you animated to mama. You ain't got nothing on me Yeah, I don't feel like I put jb on camera much So I'm gonna put him on camp come closer to mama Oh, yes going to summer camp tomorrow Our last week before he starts school y'all I'm gonna start a crime here.
