 Hi guys! Welcome to the Saturday vlog. I think this is going up Saturday and I'm vlogging because this is my 100th ride. I'm so excited. Hopefully I'll get some footage. I know the last vlog I got like one clip just like walking in. Hopefully I can get a little bit more footage but overall it's just like kind of hard because there's a lot of people and then you're just sitting in a basically a dark room riding a bike. So it's not that deep but hopefully I don't know. I'm just excited because like the 100th ride is kind of a big deal. At least I think it is because in some of the cycle bars they have these little plaques that you can like sign that say 100 on it. Today's going to be a good day. I'm claiming it's like get the energy you know. I am extremely tired but that's okay. Okay so I just got out of spin. I feel like we're reliving the same day because we kind of are. But today was my 100th ride. It was so good. I'll show you guys my little cycle stats here. They email you after the ride. I think I actually like I actually kind of tried on this one. I'm not gonna lie. It was my 100th ride and it was Jen. So I got 6th and all these are all like my little stats if you want to like read it. Yeah no these white, the white bikes are definitely harder to like rank higher in in my opinion than the black ones. I think it's just because they're older. That's how I did. And now I'm gonna go to Starbucks because that's part of the routine. I need to, guys I'm thinking about starting more Instagram reels because what are my reels which if you follow me on Instagram which you should. I posted my mini keychain that I showed you guys in my last video and it has like almost 10,000 views. Guys like what's going on? This like it's crazy. Okay like I haven't gotten that many views on YouTube in like forever let alone Instagram. Like so what I'm thinking about doing is just doing a lot more reels and frankly like I was talking to one of my friends about Instagram like how many times do you guys visit like actual profiles of Instagram? I mean I do sometimes like of an influencer if I want to see their highlights but honestly like I don't visit someone's profile a lot enough to where I'm like oh my god she has such a cute feed anymore because reels have like taken over. So I think I'm gonna drop the feed. I think I'm gonna drop trying to make my feed look good because it's not doing anything for me. I get 30 something likes on my photos. Like my photos don't get a lot of traction unless I'm like showing my butt which one where I was showing my butt got like 40 likes. So I mean it's not like that those are even doing well either. So I am gonna do reels and like I might post some stupid shit but like my plastic cup keychain did so well. Like and I know not all of them are gonna be like getting a thousand views. Like some might get 500 but dude that's more than I'm getting on here and now I've made money from Instagram twice and like two months so I made my first paycheck. It was like a hundred something dollars and then a few months go by and then like I make my other another hundred something dollars and even though that's not as much as I get from YouTube it's starting to equate what I get on YouTube now because I feel like after privating my big video that like I've kind of gotten just taken out of the algorithm a little bit which I understand that like shit happens um but I think I'm gonna start focusing on Instagram a little bit more because the views and the luck there for me has been much better lately than YouTube but obviously like YouTube's my passion and like this is what I like to do so obviously like nothing's going to change here but it's just like hmm a frustrating game and I was also telling my friend too we were talking about how Instagram's just changing now it's definitely not like when Instagram first started and it's definitely not like when we uh used to take like well we still take cute pictures and stuff and it's still fun but it's not like focusing on the feed and everything is just not a thing anymore and you don't really visit people's profiles anymore which is true so why even focus on that like what I need to be focusing on is just posting reels posting a picture when I feel like it like you know what I'm saying so it doesn't matter who you're following because like it doesn't matter how many people or who you follow because so that's why I'm just been kind of like saying what the hell with Instagram and being crazy on there like well not going not being crazy but just like not caring as much and I think I'm gonna stop caring about like oh is this like picture gonna go well with the one underneath and the one over okay I'm like going on a tangent but as you can see I've like been thinking about this and I think that I'm just gonna relax about it and have fun with Instagram and not take it so serious and hopefully maybe some success will come my way okay so I think I forgot to mention this I don't know if I did or not but my friend London she has like two names but my friend London um she gave me a little Starbucks gift card for reaching like a hundred good rides so thank you if you watch this video I don't know if she watches my stuff maybe she does um because I remember telling her like oh let's not watch it like together because I always feel like that's super awkward and in my opinion like watching myself like with someone else well my family vlogs are different like because it's like a home video but like just like my daily vlogs like I'm like I don't know but um yeah so I just want to say thank you to her that was like such a surprise to me because um like sometimes she just like randomly does that like sends me little coffee things like coffee gift cards which is like really nice so I don't know it's just one of those little things that it's the little things in life you know so anyway just wanted to include that in this vlog on my way to work I always pass this Krispy Kreme donuts and it's just so tempting but I'm kind of glad that like you know I'm going what like 45 miles an hour and don't want to turn in there because I'm just dead shotting it like down to work okay so I am on my way home I'm almost home but I'm gonna stop by the grocery store because because Valerie wants some chips and I've been craving chip and dip after like eating it one night so I'm gonna get some sour cream so I can make myself some dip because the chips are like almost always like buy one get one so I'm hoping that they'll be on sale I need to get some salad stuff too I've had salad like all this week like at least for one meal which is totally fine um because I like salad like it's not a bad thing but um because Valerie's not cooking we just don't have any ideas and I know Sherry's trying to be like really strict about her diet so I'm gonna run into the store and then I'm gonna come home and we'll make the little dip together I'm thinking I'll have salad and a couple of hot dogs with um the dip that I make because it's so good it's like the french onion dip so hopefully I will get some footage in the grocery store and also too this is kind of like a little celebration for um my hundredth ride so I'm kind of using that as an excuse even though during summer like I crave like the junk food I don't know why it's like summer and winter but a winter makes sense because your your body's like saving energy because it's cold and stuff so it's I don't know I feel like we're like bears in that sense we're like going into hibernation or something and like our bodies want to put on weight but during the summer it's just all about like the chips and the hot dogs and stuff like 4th July like you guys know I don't know it's hard to describe sherry how was work it was fine but she was in lounge today I was as you can see by the outfit say hi to the vlog ralory hello she's cooking herself with some food I brought home sherry some chicken I know I can't wait to try it yeah and then I have my salad here and we got the chips going on we good didn't want to forget to vlog the shipping did the next day good morning guys it's the next day got the coffee it's literally just part of my routine and I made sure that I could get it and still like be on time at work but as you guys can see I kind of did uh light makeup look because I filmed this tiktok um it's the hi I'm dory one and I wanted to film that this morning because I wanted to go up like Saturday it's my post for fabletics because I emailed my contact at fabletics asking like hey can I post a reel instead of an in feed post because my in feed posts of photos are not doing so well um it's super annoying and like one picture that I was like I really loved this picture and I like posted it almost like at at noon you know like a good time to post and it literally got like 20 likes and I was just like oh my goodness it was just really discouraging I really do think I'm gonna push the real side um because it's just where Instagram is going unfortunately I still love taking pictures and everything like that it's one of my true passions like I love doing like little photo shoots and stuff but honestly now I think I'm gonna have to change my passion and like film dancey videos outfit videos but I already filmed videos for YouTube but I think I'm just gonna like try to incorporate both of them I don't know how I'm gonna do that because you film horizontal for YouTube but for all these other platforms you film vertical so yeah I'm just like I'm a little annoyed but I got up today showered washed my hair because it was a hair washing day and then I filmed the reel like I think this is the fastest I've ever filmed a reel but I kind of like mapped out like in my brain what I wanted it to be like so I wanted the first shot of me like saying hi I'm Dory obviously like close up and then I wanted to show my outfit and then I wanted like a full body shot um at the end saying like let's go or something whatever it says so I filmed that in probably 10 minutes which was like crazy because as you guys know I take forever to film TikToks because you had to get it just right and I really hate when my lips are out of sync with the with the audio but um like my one that I did with my moms I literally only did that one take and my lips are a little off on the second like part where she talks and it bothers me so I can't watch that one but again it was like it was last week so it was very difficult for me because I only had time to take one take and I wanted to take it when my hair and makeup was done because honestly let's let's just face it the more like put together you look online the more attention you get so I only had time because my mom was driving me that day to do that take for that part of the TikTok once so I'm like okay it'll do because the first part is like in sync so yeah as you guys can see like my uh situation my ranting and stuff hope this isn't too boring but like as we're seeing with social media it's changing drastically and yeah like I don't know what's going on man like uh but it's okay um I'm glad that you guys are here to listen to me and my thoughts as I go to work and uh but yeah the TikTok came out really cute and I'm happy with it and my lips are in sync both times little dory or whoever's talking is like my mouth matches the sound which is good and then my cuts match the beat because I had to do the self timer thing it was just like a whole whole thing anyway I'm gonna stop rambling now but I thought this would be like a good time to vlog because yeah I'm just in the car driving this is so random but I don't know if you guys can tell like I think I'm in a windstorm like just like so windy all my windshields dirty but still to continue on with the video I got this a fun package it is it is from Janet Gwynn designs and I actually just bought this myself because I needed a new airpod case because um my airpod case I lost the top and it just like really bothered me this is from the same company that my other case was from um my other case was a great Christmas present I loved it so much um but again like I lost the top just ended up getting the same one except it's in a different color the other one kind of came in this little carrying pouch but this one came like this in this little box little key chains kind of uh detached but that's okay then we have this little card it just says to be honest you're the best it was like a little QR code which fun I'm so happy to have gotten this because I really needed another case for my airpods this is what the back of the box looks like so I'm just gonna put my airpod case in this real quick I'm gonna clean them too because like it's a little dirty like my my airpods need a little cleaning so I'm gonna clean those as well excited to have this and then my other one too did not have like the indentation either like as you guys can see this one says Janet Gwynn on it my other one did not have this because I think her shop was still like a little new um but now she's like more established I think okay so I just wanted to show you guys my little case I don't know why my camera's not focusing there we go but I love this color it's very like a muted nude color um they say it's pink but I guess in different lighting it looks different but I just think it looks so cute um I had a like a mauve pink color one before I'm sure you guys seen it um if you watch my what I got for Christmas video I show it there I still have my old keychain too like I kept that but I threw away the plastic part of the old one just because I don't need it this is what it looks like I love it so much and I'm kind of glad that my airpods have a case again because I feel like the case without the the original airpod case is just too tiny and I feel like it will just like slip out and like I'll lose them if I don't have like a more substantial case on them and every time I put on the case or take off the case I feel like I'm gonna break this like lover the lid it freaks me out
