 Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali. Welcome to a new weekly vlog. This week is South by Southwest. If you guys didn't know I do live in Austin and it is my first South by Southwest ever and it's just been so freaking amazing like being able to just connect and meet so many different people and I didn't even know that they like lived in Austin and like are in my industry. It's just so cool So this whole weekend I vlogged my first couple of South by Southwest events and then I have a couple this week and then it goes into Everyone's been saying it goes into next week, but I think it's just like this next weekend So I don't know honestly, I still can't even explain what South by Southwest is But I'll try my best. It's basically like this film music arts festival Like basically how I think of it is that a bunch of brands just come to Austin and have Activations and kind of like this brand awareness thing And then also you can buy badges for South by Southwest. They are very expensive. I did not do that though I wanted to see how many free events that I could find and honestly I found a lot and If you follow like the right accounts on Instagram, you'll be fine and you can find plenty of stuff yesterday I went to create and cultivate which is like this OG blogging platform I don't even know how to describe it, but basically it's just this Company that puts on events where like other bloggers could network and it was really cool back in the day And still is cool now and they put on really really nice events So if you guys have not watched that vlog already, I'll link it down below This week has already been off to an amazing start because you girl got a free freaking blowout I'm like still shook basically I had a senior shoot near Seaholm so it's kind of like downtown area and I was walking by This JVN pop-up I recognized the name and I was like oh, what's this and they basically said that they were getting out free blowouts And that you could just walk in and so I had to go back to my shoe and like you know do my job And I was trying to look up you know how to make an appointment or if you needed to make an appointment and It like said there wasn't any more appointments available So I was like really really hoping that they could get me in for a walk-in and they could I was literally like just waiting for like 15 to 20 minutes or so so it wasn't too bad But I've never tried any of his hair products So it's JVN hair and if you guys don't know who I'm talking about or what I'm talking about Basically, it's Jonathan Van Ness's hairline And he is in queer eye the one with a really long hair And it's weird because I was literally watching queer eye for the first time last night We were watching the OMG squee okay this lighting I just cannot so we're just gonna have to bear with me We were watching the OMG squee episode and I have always wanted to go to that place for matcha But I didn't know it was actually like a donut shop or like majority of a donut shop. So Anyway, so we watched that and it's so weird that it like just popped up in front of my eyes today And his hair products are so good. My hairstylist was telling me all the signs behind it And it was so interesting and I really wanted to buy it But I have so many hair products at home that I really need to like get through them Before I can like purchase any new ones. I'm a little bit of a hoarder when it comes to hair products because I'm like Oh, I want to try them all But honestly like I think I need to try his because even a girl DMed me after I posted my stories She said she's been using them for like a couple months now And she's like genuinely seeing a difference in her hair and I was like Dang it, which I didn't hear that because I really want to buy them now And they were giving 20% off so I was like, should I buy the whole collection? But I didn't basically the hairstylist was saying that the molecules in A lot of the products like the popular products on the market right now like the hair oils or like Just like hair masks or treatments. She was mainly talking about olaplex but those molecules are apparently too big to actually like penetrate your hair and like Actually fix it from the inside out. So they're kind of like surface level fixing And that's crazy to me because I feel like olaplex was one of the first brands that were like we Fix damaged hair like we fixed broken ends or something like that, you know So now hearing that it only fixes the surface level of your hair is like My goodness like what have I been doing all these years because I do what use an olaplex oil and I used to use like The like hair mask one. I'm not sure what number it was But anyways, I just thought that was so interesting and I really wish like I had it all in video of what she told me So now I definitely want to try more of his products But I want to show you guys the clips that I got from this morning roll the clips Is that today is my hair washing day, but I worked out in the morning I had to shoot pretty early. So I didn't wash my hair And then I just got a free freaking blow out on hair washing day when I didn't have time to wash my hair I was like, wow, this is amazing. I love life She just did like a straight blow out kind of gave me some volume Which is what I needed and I was planning for it to be a content day Which is perfect that I got my hair done But now it is literally 3 p.m. And I'm like where has the day gone I had a call with my assistant too and at 3 30 I'm actually having a call with um one of the accounting executives that Like to know it and just talking about strategy and how I could like move forward with my account just like You know strategize better So I'm very excited about that because I actually just met so many of the people on the team At the like to note event um this weekend They had like a little happy hour and it was so cool meeting the team and just like I don't know like it like to know it for me is such a big brand So the fact that I could connect with those people like in person was amazing and just tell them what I liked about the app and You know what I wanted to see more of on the app And I mean like to know is like definitely one of my most used apps. So I thought that was super cool I'm currently editing some grad photos and gonna get those done because I just don't want so many Sessions kind of sitting in the queue if you know I have time to edit them I want to get them done and send them back to my grad ASAP I feel like I usually pride myself and first the quality of my photos the editing of my photos because A lot of Photographers these days like do the trendy editing of like the yellowness or like the really moody photos And I try to edit true to color while you know giving you a little bit of like an enhanced look Because when you grow up and you show your kids these photos like you're gonna look back And if you got like a yellow photo like your skin is literally yellow or orange I just don't see that as like classic and I always want my photos to be classic So you don't like regret that photo shoot. You know what I mean? And I personally just don't love like the moody and Warm tones look so anyways, I pride myself in all that and That I don't like wait too long for you to get your photos back because obviously I want them checked off my to-do list And I want my clients to have the photos before it becomes irrelevant or before you like stop getting so excited about it You know, I feel like I know that photographers probably have so many sessions and they're so backed up But I feel like at that point you should definitely outsource because I just don't understand making someone wait that long. It is literally just evil. It's cruel Because I don't know when I get my photos taken you guys know I want them instantly And that's why I probably usually take them on my phone or like my camera that has wi-fi connected And I can edit them myself But you guys get it if you're in the Austin area and you need a photographer. I'm your girl I just don't do weddings, but I do pretty much everything else Just got ready and used my new um shade of the dibs beauty found The stick that they made um, but they came out with two new colors and the contour is a little bit cooler toned So I use shade 5.5 for the contour And then I used my favorite blush, which is shade five Look how beautiful That color is And I like love over blushing I love putting it right on my nose and giving you a little bit more of like a flush look So I just did that and I did a tutorial on my tiktok So go follow me if you guys are not already following me over there My call with the LTK account executive went really well. She talked about strategy She talked about like what has done well for me and what I should just keep doing kind of like just the new features of the app Um, so if you guys are not familiar with like to know it It is an app where like all your favorite bloggers instagramers youtubers can post direct links to things that they have So like outfit up the days. I would like this jacket. I would like the undershirt I would link all my earrings everything like the exact links the similar links and um, I've started to do kind of like collages And just like styling for certain occasions like st. Patty's day. My assistant helped me make A graphic for that. So a lot of like amazon fashion finds too So definitely go follow me over there download the app because honestly It's a great way to get like fashion inspo for trends that are happening Literally in the moment because sometimes Pinterest can be a little bit outdated Like I'll search winter outfits and I swear I see the same damn outfit that I saw like three years ago At the top of my Pinterest page So it is a great place to just like be keeping up with What's in style and everything like that in a weird way? I feel like the days are going so much faster because of daylight saving time Like I have an extra hour, but I feel like the days are just flying by because it's What is it like almost 6 p.m. And I feel like I still need to be working But in reality, I should maybe be starting to make dinner Um because the event that we're going to tonight Is for the swimming with sharks premiere at the line hotel Which is a beautiful hotel and I'm pretty sure it's by the pool I think they're gonna have like drinks and light bites But I have a lot of food in the fridge that might be going bad. So I really need to like cook something So let's go in the kitchen and figure that shit out. I forgot ryan brought this home from hgb So a little snack and I think like I said that party might have some light bites But honestly the last event that we went to That had some light bites Was very light and also like people were just like Attacking it. So I had like one little thing of it, but Tonight We're gonna chase after the food. Are we gonna drink tonight ryan? You are You aren't I don't know if I have a fun drink. I might try it, you know, I feel like I'm just Not wanting any alcohol on my system from this weekend. Not that like it was battery thing Like I think saturday morning. I had like a little tiny headache, but also this weekend I do want to go back out to rainy street. So I'm gonna do it all over again. I'm just trying to like catch up on sleep. Honestly like this morning. I was super freaking tired um But I'm just so grateful for all these events happening and I have to take advantage of all of them You know wanted to show you guys my outfit of the night for the premiere party thing So this dress is from princess poly. I got it like last year in september So I'm not sure if it's still on site, but I feel like princess poly always keeps like past items in stock So that's great. And then these boots are Vince commuto. I wasn't sure how I was feeling about them but I kind of like it giving me tinkerbell vibes for sure though Good morning It is tuesday and I'm getting ready to head out to an ovi x maryl Event at I think it's that half step on rainy street I actually don't own anything outdoor voices and they're gonna gift us some stuff when we get there But like the brands that I'm wearing right now are like all their competitors So I feel like a little bit awkward But no problem because I think we like literally change right when we get there But I thought I'd show you guys my outfit So this zip up is from aloe and then we have this white tank top that I actually just got from lululemon for this event because I Don't feel comfortable yet just in like a little bra and leggings So I wanted something like flowy to make me feel really good about myself Especially because at these events like they take photos they take videos and Last event that I did this I was not wearing a very flattering thing So I learned my lesson and then I'm wearing a set active set Um, it's like a green color and then I have that one shoulder ribbed bra Then I got my hocus on And I actually slicked back my hair this morning Um, and I kind of feel bad about it because I just got my hair done yesterday And I really liked it and I woke up with my hair feeling amazing But I was thinking about doing braids, but I didn't want to like crease my hair And so I was like, okay, maybe I'll just do like a ponytail, but then I wanted to slick it back And I put product in my hair. So I'm gonna probably have to wash it anyway So I should have probably just done the braids, but anyways, I think it turned out really cute And then I had my apple watch on somebody recently asked me in my dms where I got this band And it's from amazon, of course, and so I'll link it down below That's so cute. Okay. Grams of protein Plant-based. Okay. Plant-based protein. Okay. Very big Faced here out of Austin, Texas. We love that. Plants of H.E.B., Sprouts Tom's, Royal Blue Grocery And a bunch of other places as well. They're so good. Love it. We're gonna get a live taste test right now French toast Apparently there's gonna be a flower crown event here at idle hands at noon Obviously, it's gonna be done when you guys are watching this, but it's really cute Thank you back to like bidday 2016 where you were wearing like a flower crown Face jams. Yep. It's 1046 and we just got done at the outdoor voices and Merrill event And it was actually really fun. I need to find out Who that like instructor is and where she is. She said she's in Austin I think it's called Dan's cardio, but I'm not sure it was actually so much fun And I want to look into it if it's like close to the east side Definitely be interested. My thing with working out at like classes and gyms and stuff like that is that I hate to drive Like that is just one more factor that I'm like Not feeling like driving over there. So I make an excuse and don't go to the gym So that's why I'm trying to like stick to my apartment gym for now Um, but got my workout in burned 500 calories dancing my butt off and it was really fun And it was like also like easy to keep up with um, so that was really nice after the event They had like breakfast tacos coffee. We got some boozy smoothies I got like a pina colada one which was really yummy And I literally want to just transport myself to cancun and drink many of those pina coladas Jenna came with me and we got to catch up a little bit more Which was nice and I saw a couple of my other influencer friends and I don't know I feel like I've been saying this a lot But it just makes me so happy that I am starting to see them more often and I wish these things happened Like every other week. I mean maybe not every week because that would be exhausting but I just love to like connect with people that are you know in the same industry as me and just like no You know, just like get it But right in front of me. Well, I'm on rainy street, but right in front of me They are tearing down the amazon prime Event space and I'm so sad about it because I really wanted to go But I think it was like invite only slash like you had to have a badge for a couple of days And I think the last day was a non badge day and I didn't know that Otherwise I would have totally checked it out because apparently Lizzo was there and she was like performing Not every day, but it still would have been cool to like go in the installation And then also a lot of places on rainy have also started taking down their stuff And I'm like what the heck I thought it like lasted like two weeks or You know a weekend a week and another weekend at least so I'm very confused I know like half of the week is like tech and then the other parts like music and film I don't even know but Yeah, I'm kind of sad that I didn't really get to experience all the ones that are shutting down If I would have known I would have went to them before they shut down I'm gonna head home. I actually don't have any grad shoots today. So I definitely need to respond to emails because I've been slacking on that and that's awful because I know like when I email someone I obviously want to response ASAP. So I just need to be better about that And then what else am I doing today? Oh, I'm having a little bachelor finale party at my house I don't know how I'm gonna accommodate all these girlies, but we're gonna make it work Because I'm excited. I invited some people that I met at the create and cultivate event And they live here in Austin. They were really cool and nice So I love when like my friends get to meet like new friends and we all become friends And it's just a big happy circle of friends Okay, I'm gonna stop talking head home because I tried that crunch bar. It was really good, but now I need some real breakfast at me It's currently 110 and I went straight to my computer after I got home ate like some cereal just because I was hashtag stressed because My lightroom catalog was corrupted and it could not be repaired and I even called lightroom And I guess it didn't have like a backup So the photos I had just spent like a good amount of time working on yesterday and editing Are not there. I have to re-import and edit them And thank god I didn't like lose all the photos because I have like backups and stuff But like the fact that I spent that time and I was like so proud of myself Because I was like getting it done early-ish. I mean like not early But you know like not waiting too long to like edit the photos and everything It literally kills me inside that they're like lost. I mean Honestly, it would have been worse to like lose a whole video So it's fine, but like also not fine because I'm just like thinking about the time wasted because That's just how my mind works But it is 1 p.m. And I am gonna quickly hop in the shower and then We actually missed the bachelor finale last night since we went to that premiere party So we are going to try to watch it. Hopefully it's on who already I'm not sure if it is but hopefully because I need to catch up before I watch it tonight with my friends I totally forgot that I probably need to watch Monday's episodes So we're gonna do that Ryan's really into bachelor And so I feel bad that I'm having a party. I mean he's obviously invited But I think you know, we'll probably not want to sit on the couch with like seven other girls So I don't know what he'll be doing tonight But I'm gonna just body shower honestly because like my hair looks fine I did my makeup very lightly, but it's on so I'm not gonna do anything to this part of my face Just get clean and then change and Plant myself on the couch and re-edit these photos I look a little crusty and it's a little bit later But my friends are coming over to watch the bachelor finale and I literally just finished watching The first part of the finale. I guess it was like Monday and Tuesday Um, so it's getting a little crazy. This is a spoiler, but I'm kind of mad that Gabby was like Oh, okay, like let me give you one more chance after she said like I want to leave Because I was cheering her on when she said that she wanted to leave because I was like You go girl, like you know what you need to do Also, sorry for the vacuum on in the background. Just had to get the place a little bit clean Not doing a great job of it, but I was kind of like working up into the last minute I was doing a lot of like just email catch up and editing the photos that I lost Um, but I think I'm gonna make like a tiny cheese board I think some people are bringing like stacky food and stuff like that And I got some grapes cheese and crackers over there. So I'm gonna do that and I'm gonna wait for them to tell me When they're on their way here It kind of sucks that I live in like an apartment with the key fob because my last place will It's definitely safer here But my last place you could just walk up Um Without a key fob and enter the apartment through the outside And it was kind of nice when I had friends over because I never had to like let them in But it's okay. It's worth it. Andy was on time and all those other bitches were late I know I thought I was gonna be late. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Um, but yeah, no, they're on their way And I'm making a little cheese board she brought over. Wait, that's so cute. I show it. That is so cute Something cookies spring and uh, St. Patrick's Day Hopefully you can see them But Not might be someone We got the full spread Yeah, I need to try those two. What are they? Is butter some caramel? Like a cookie chocolate had sold Oh, yeah, it's Wednesday and today we have a very busy day full of like random little events and things to do. Um this morning I had an early morning shoot and it was just like one hour at UT The light was amazing and it was just like really nice weather I mean, I was like all bundled up and my crap was definitely not but It was just it felt good, you know to be like in a cool Weather setting and then I came home. I ate some breakfast Made some like tick tock reels kind of thing because I feel like I'm just lacking on tick tock and reels And I feel like I was doing so good for a while And then I did my makeup did my hair because I'm going to a Doc Martin event. I met Yvonne on Monday She was actually a photographer here in Austin. She moved to Dallas recently But she's back for South by Southwest and she'll be back for seniors because she used to do UT seniors as well And so she actually has a brand deal with Doc Martin and they have a house on rainy street Um, and so we are going to go check it out. I'm going to shoot her and then we're going to walk around rainy And then tonight I have a crew party Crew is a sunglasses brand and they gifted me a pair a while back I want to find them so I can wear them to the party And then after that I got invited to a drink box event. It's like a wine Tasting cheeseboard making class so it sounds super freaking fun And I need to pick out my outfit. I'm not really sure what I'm going to wear I do want to film a lot of tech talks today though because I feel like like I said I'm slacking. I need to get the content up and We are going to do that But first I need to upload the photos from this morning and get them in my like pasty set gallery online situation and then send them over to the girl Here's my outfit for the event. All of this is from amazon This little button down that I wear like very often and then this sweater vest is also from amazon My leggings are actually from amazon, right 90 degrees. I think that's sold on amazon I got it like so long ago But the only thing not for mans on our guests are my doc martins and I wanted to wear them because You know, we're going to a doc martin event and also I bought these like Maybe a year ago two years ago during winter and probably wore them like maybe twice I just feel like I don't wear black anymore and They're just so heavy too. I mean they look really cool. Like they definitely give cool girl vibes, but I don't know. They're just like not my style anymore But when I wear them, I feel cool, you know, so maybe I should wear them more often Um, but I just called the lift. I did like the wait and save so it's going to pick me up within like 15 minutes And then I'm going to meet yvonne and just walk around rainy and check it out grand deal for doc martins because she got me into the house I'm not even sure if you have to have a badge or what but it's super cool There's like a tattoo artist over here. Do you have any tattoos around rainy and just like check everything out I think like something's already got taken down, but We'll see what's gonna stop there. So don't attract right on rainy, but yvonne said it was her staff by tradition So it's what I eat every year. We had to get them back home and I am getting so sleepy I feel like I need to make a try or something because I need to keep this energy up Um, but I feel like the sun is like blinding today. It definitely like drained me a little bit I did want to open a package up and it's from glow recipe I actually worked with them to do a testimonial video for their platforms and I tried out one of their new creams and I fell in love with it like I love it like it is so good and I actually shot my shot and asked the girl if I could get a restock She didn't reply for a couple of weeks and then I was like, okay I'll just you know, obviously go buy it at support because I love this product so much Been literally a week after she replies and she's like, oh my god. I totally meant to reply to this I'm so sorry like blah blah. Can I send you some stuff? And I was like, of course, like I'll take anything and I'm just really obsessed with this brand right now So like I said glow recipe and this is the product I'm talking about it is refillable It is the plump plump hyaluronic cream and I've actually had this in my makeup routine for about a year now and After I got this I feel like I just don't really need this anymore Um, I mean, I don't know if they do similar stuff or different stuff But I do know that a Sephora girl recommended me this So this is the hyaluronic serum deep hydration plus glow and then this is doing moisture and plump and Guys, this is so good. Like I've tried a lot of gel moisturizers but This one just really really like does the trick for like moisturizing Um, so this is what it looks like and There's like a refillable pod. So I actually bought the refillable pod to refill the original container um, you can just And if you buy the refillable pod, I think it's like $6 cheaper, which I mean still saving a bit of money. So that's kind of nice And you know, it's good for the environment. Um, so very excited that I got some glow recipe goodies and Now I am probably just gonna edit grad photos slash do some tiktoks here and there because I actually got some amazon swim in the mail and I want to try them on so we might do that today I'm about to head to another event. This whole time. I was just kind of making some tiktoks about the amazon swim So go follow me on tiktok for sure And I have on this sharp red dress dress. It is stunning. I love this dress so much It's so flattering. It has like little spaghetti straps with these frills And yeah, I'm about to head out. It's a wine tasting and a cheese board making class And I'm meeting my friend Diane and she actually went to my college at UCF But she was in a PC younger than me, but she is like the sweetest kind of soul So I'm really excited to catch up with her with Diane and we're about to head into the boxed house I guess they're like having these events all week, but we're doing a cheese board And wine tasting night. I feel like this is so your vibe. I was like, okay, wait This is like so Diane, so I'm so glad you could come. So we're gonna head in. Let's go Just a little bit about our companies. We don't know, Boston's a female-sounded company Our amazing founder Sarah Kuhl once just, you know, sitting at a bar I was thinking, why don't we put fine wine in the box? So she did So all of our wine is made in our winery in Napa And then we ship it globally from Austin and California And it's a little bit about us I just got back home from the event. We actually went into Target after because first we wanted to get our parking validated And then I also had to get toilet paper because we had literally zero left. So that was fun Um, but I got the toilet paper and then I saw a candle and I had to get it because I bought this three-wick candle That had like this ribbed edge and it was clear I'm not sure where it is. I honestly haven't looked so maybe it's in the tv stand because I don't remember finishing it to be honest But I saw on tiktok that this girl had like this bowl of strawberries and one comment was like, oh like, uh, Where'd you get that bowl? And she was like, oh, it's actually a target candle. I was like, oh my god so I am gonna try and search for it and look for it and that is such a good idea like I mean It's you know, not the newest idea ever Like it's definitely been done before but like repurposing your candle into a bowl So now that's all I think about like when I see a candle I'm like, how can I make this into a bowl or like how pretty does it look just as a bowl? So that's one of the main reasons I got this So it has like this green interior and it's called zest. This is like the label I also am obsessed with like this linen Texture, I don't even know what you would call it But I love this texture right now on anything like graphics, especially I'm trying to like Get that into my brand somehow. Um, but anyways good smelling candle I always love like having more candles last week. I cleaned my whole place and I was like, okay I'm burning my marfa candle as a reward. So I was done I finished cleaning and then I was like too scared to burn it because like I don't know It's like a really nice candle and it's like a souvenir So I was like, I don't want it to like, you know burn out in like three hours Even though I don't I think it has like a good burn time. Um And also I try to get soy candles. Ryan was actually the one that told me about it But basically soy candles are just like better for you and like they don't I don't I don't want to like say the wrong information But like I think they don't put in carcinogens into the air. I don't know Don't quote me But like bath and body works candles are not like good for burning in your house because Like just chemicals I guess in general, but I also bought Ryan some Reese's because I was dumb and put his Reese's like out of the way I think it was like wiping down the counters and it was like right here I put it on top of our air fryer right there just like again get it out of the way And they melted because the air fryer was like hot because he had just used it And he was like, why'd you do that? I was like, I don't know. I'm stupid. So I bought him The egg ones he's like literally addicted like this is his kryptonite. He loves Reese's so much And yes, I call him Reese's and I don't think that's ever going to change to be honest, but I drank this Before I went to that event actually before I started doing the tech talks because I needed caffeine and I was like Whoo, I was like shaking I mean like I feel like I'm talking like really fast in my upper lip sweating because I'm like really just on one today, but It was it was pretty good. I mean like I feel like all like energy drinks just taste so like In a way chemically like that I shouldn't be drinking it, you know, like it's like so sugary almost but like it's 10 calories and like how and why and how so Kind of scares me a little bit, but the event was actually for boxed and I had no idea. I think they're like an austin based company because they actually Had the event in their like workspace, which was actually really really nice and it was right in saltillo so First we have The little cheese box I made and it was so cute and like I You know, I always have these bachelor nights. I always have friends over. I love hosting friends But I never know how to make a cheeseboard because I never know how to make it pretty and like I feel like I'm not doing it good enough almost And I'm like getting to the point where I'm like, okay I just want to eat the thing and I don't really care how it looks, but I appreciate when it's pretty like, you know I love posting on my instagram story So now that I like learned the little salami rose and like how to kind of like garnish it I think I will be better next time. So Get ready for some cheeseboard content next school. Shit bachelor is literally done It was like done yesterday Can we talk about this because like Susie was like so poised and like almost like I don't know how to describe it, but like she was being so like cringy almost on the finale and also her caption Insert screenshot here. Like it was something like I don't even know like uh Clayton and Susie's name and she was like crazy baby I was like And I'm pretty sure Clayton had this like whole heart felt note on his instagram caption And I was like what is going on here? Like I need the tea like the actual tea but I'm so impressed with Gabby because She Like well, okay at first I thought she was a little bit ditzy. I'm not gonna lie I feel like a lot of people did but she Spoke so well and like held it together. I honestly think like at the finale I'm sorry if this these are spoilers but during the finale she like left the room when he was like I Want Susie and I thought she was gonna go to the next room and just cry But she was just sitting there like just pissed off and it was like so funny and like all hell queen gabby because I would be In tears also weird enough, but I took a screenshot of her followers last night And I this was at 7 35. So it was 35 minutes into the show And she was at 164k. Let's check what she is right now 328k I kind of knew it was gonna like at least double in a day. That's crazy But good for her and I really like Rachel too. So they're gonna be the bachelors at the same time and They kind of had that but like The guys voted on one girl. I think it was like Caitlyn Bristow and brit I don't I can't remember her last name But I know brit was like one of the girls that they chose I can't remember the other one, but I think it's Caitlyn Bristow. Anyways back to the boxed wine So this is really cool. It's literally like in a freaking box and There's a little nozzle. So I chose number three. It's floral fruity smooth sweet Fun fact about me. I have the taste buds of a three-year-old and I love sweet drinks I will order a shirley temple probably over a cocktail or like a drink at a bar because like Well, unless I'm trying to get drunk then like probably not but I love like sprite sprite is my weakness And so when I go to drink wines, like I Hate the dry stuff. I honestly like don't love the taste of alcohol So it's really like hard for me to like anything But this one definitely tasted the most like juice and it was really really good um Also, this is One boxed, but it has four bottles in here and it's pretty heavy But I thought this was like a really cool idea and I can't remember if like white lines go in your fridge, but I don't even know like Does it have like instructions? Yeah, it probably does. I need to like read up on this thing Okay, well, I'm very happy to be like home right now it is literally 659 the sun is setting right now and I'm alone at home at 7 p.m And I feel like it has not happened in a couple of days maybe like A week or so, I don't know But I feel like I've just been going to all these events which I was telling diane I might get like not depressed but like just so lonely after like south by south west happens And I'm gonna be like bored. Well, actually grad season is gonna happen and like ramp up like crazy So probably not but but I'm just gonna miss going to all these events and like networking with people It's gonna be so sad when it all ends and like it just doesn't feel like a real And I mean it it's almost not real life because it's not like my real everyday life So this vlog you're gonna see me going to like so many events, but Again, not my real life. I wish it was because this is so fun, but also so exhausting Because you're just like making small talk, which honestly I love I love getting to know people and like where they're from what their stories are But like I said, it does take a lot of energy. So I'm very excited to like take off my makeup Put my hair in a ponytail get in my PJs. Honestly, a body shower sounds amazing right now So I'm gonna do that and then probably just do some like light computer work And Call it tonight Good morning. Just kidding. It's actually 5 p.m. And we are gonna go to h e b This is literally my first time getting out of the house. I feel like I have allergies like I Like sneezing I my eyes itchy and shit Yeah, maybe I have cedar fever, but and that's like a new thing in texas. Well, it's not a new thing in texas But but like when I moved to texas, it was like the first time I heard about cedar fever tonight We're gonna try to make the infamous elefante eggplant Dip what's it called? Say that whipped eggplant. Oh whipped eggplant. Yes. Um, and Yeah, so I think there's like a recipe online and I've been having it saved for Months now. I actually had purchased I plans like last week And I hadn't gotten around to making it because also I needed like this one ingredient that I didn't have So we're at h e b and we're just gonna grab some stuff because I feel like We're getting to the point where our fridge is just like we look in the fridge and there's nothing to eat at least ryan So your random condiments that aren't open and random things you want to try that I do have a lot of sauces I'm a sauce girl, but there's random stuff like you're never gonna use that and you're like, yeah, well who cares You're not wrong, but what if I'm gonna need freaking fish oil one day What if I'm gonna need oyster sauce one day? I'll go in midnight. What if I want some bacon jam on Something 14 jars If you see you buy it, you're like, oh, I need this we have like 10 of them well I'm gonna throw away everything in the fridge. No, you're not. Tell me what's gone. No, I'll buy it Do not do that I just save it and you can tell me what's missing and whatever you can name it. I'll put it back No trash bags. No Okay, let's go into hgb. He always gives me a time limit when we go grocery shopping She even stands in the fruit aisle 25 minutes is looked around I also love going down like the snack aisles and there's always some new snacks to try That are like healthy for you, you know better for you. So I always like trying those But anyways, I should probably just retie my hair because I have not touched it since this morning and I don't want to look Like this when I go on hb, but it's almost 8 p.m And I honestly just haven't done much and didn't really feel like vlogging because I've been laying on the couch the whole day on my computer Um and definitely took some naps because I feel like I just need to like catch up on my sleep and just rest for a little bit I am having some foam though because it is seen Patrick's day and my friends are out on rainy street And they're at bungalow and bungalow is literally closing At the end of this month apparently and that's like one of my favorite bars on rainy So I'm really sad that I'm out there, but also like I'm not because this is like all I want to do I took the shower Usually I do it on Friday mornings, but I Don't think I'll have time tomorrow morning to like wash my hair and everything and let it dry So I did the whole hair wash routine I shaved all that kind of stuff and I got into some cozy PJs And now we are going to try to make the elefante whipped eggplant and I got the recipe off of rock your body's Uh website. She's actually Amanda Stanton's Uh sister from the bachelor She was on ben higgins season. I believe uh, and so I found her on tiktok a while ago And saw this recipe on her page and literally had to try it So it's been quite a while since we've been to elefante. I think we went in August of last year. So I don't really remember what it tasted like But if it tastes good, like I think we've succeeded, you know So before my shower, I preheated the oven to 425 degrees I literally just sliced that I put it in half and cut off the top and bottom Drizzled it with some olive oil put some salt on it and then popped it in the oven For I think 35 minutes. I think it's like 30 to 40 minutes. Um, and I think it looks good to me. So We're gonna do a little blending action with some other ingredients And like I said, I will put the recipe in the description box below if you guys are interested try it out And then I also got these non things from h e b I know you're technically supposed to eat this with pita, but I feel like this is kind of like the same kind of vibe And I love me some non. So I'm gonna heat this up too and Start peeling away at the skin I'm supposed to let it cool for a while, but like I'm hungry and if I wait any longer I'm going to eat everything that's like snacky in my house and not be hungry for this So I'm just gonna try to peel the skin off Do my best Taste test so if you're gonna participate Looking small bite small bite Here goes nothing. What do you think? Can you even remember what it tastes like? I just remember it tasting really good Oh, well damn. Is it good? You like it I thought I would do a little bit better I guess so That's true. I will uh work on the recipe. I think I added a little too much garlic Even 7.5 Cool, I'll take it here. I don't even know what it was doing, but We're gonna watch Pam and Tommy. I hope We have another episode because they like came out with two new episodes. Shit. How many more episodes do we have? Three It's actually a really really good show um, but I guess hulu is doing the saying where They're like releasing, you know a new episode every week And I'm like, but you're hulu. This is for binging. Okay, like we want it all When we watch it, you know It's hulu produced right? I don't know. Oh, it's the producer of itania or whoever From itania. Um, anyways itania was a really good movie too. So when I saw that I was like, okay So we need to watch it. Um, how many actually episodes do we have left just two? And they're all available. Yay. Good morning. It is Friday and we are gonna have a good day a productive day and a fun day because we have Some events and we're gonna start our morning off going to soho house austin, which I am Literally dying inside my friend invited me and we were gonna go catch up over coffee And she was like, do you want to go to soho house? Like I love to show people if they've never been I was like, are you kidding me? I would love to go. So we are going but the thing about soho house Is that they don't allow you to like take any photos or like film or You know really have your phones out like apparently they're weird about phones. So I'm not really sure if I can vlog it which sucks because this is such a cool thing So I'm gonna try to sneak some clips, but no promises and obviously I want to be like respectful But also I want like content because that's so cool. I have no idea what I'm gonna wear But I think Nikki instead like casual but think like nice brunch So I'm gonna like scrumge through my closet and see what I can find But I wanted to show you guys my favorite freaking face cream ever. This is the glow recipe Plump plump hyaluronic cream and it's kind of like this gel cream But trust me, I've tried a lot of gel creams before and this is the best by far It is just like so hydrating and really like penetrates the skin and like really gives it that moisture that it needs So I actually did like a testimonial video for this company because they sent this to me like Before at launch so I could try it out and I went to Sephora and restocked But they actually um ended up like giving me a restock through pr So now I have like two which is great because now I don't have to be too greedy with it because it's just so good Um So I highly recommend this and I think the Sephora sale is coming up I heard it's gonna be here around April 1st So I'm gonna start planning out some content around that because I would love to get like a make routine up for you guys I know a lot of people have been asking recently and I just keep pushing it off because I don't know there's just like so many video ideas and like content ideas that I want to execute but like not enough time or Things just keep coming up So I definitely want to get a makeup video out to you guys like super soon Also, like I'm going to try to do like some sort of like a Sephora recommendations I try to do that every time the sale comes around either if it's on like to know it or Instagram stories, so be following me on everywhere also take talk I feel like that would be an easy place to like put all my recommendations. So follow me everywhere Pretty much everything is so underscored gnarly without the g And that's on like to know it take talk I believe Pinterest And Instagram and then obviously you can just find me on youtube by my full name Sonali Prabhu But you're already here So if you guys are not already subscribed definitely hit that subscribe button down below And I'm just excited to be cranking out content this morning I actually had a call with my video editor and I'm just like really really freaking excited that She's going to be able to help me because she like gets my vibe and I just feel like we are going to be a really good team together and Just really excited about it so I can like make more content, you know So it's nice that I'm going to be able to like get back that time and just make more content with it So next up, I'm just going to be using this cocoa kind eye cream The applicator is this like metal thing. So it's kind of like cooling on the eyes And I just think it's so fun to apply. So I love applying it in the mornings or literally just whenever I'm doing my skincare And I think I did it like in a tech talk where I use like this finger But apparently you're supposed to use your ring finger because it's like not too much pressure And so just blend that out. There's like this weird dry patch on my forehead I'm like broke getting not because I had to put on makeup today I was trying to slug yesterday so it wouldn't Make it to today, but I see that it's not gone Um, I did get a little bit of foam on last night seeing all my friends out on rainy, but That's okay because I woke up not hungover. So That's a plus and I think we're just gonna try to go out this weekend. I'm not really sure what day But I got invited to a south by Event this weekend. It's for jc penny. I believe I'm not even sure where it is um and honestly, I'm kind of like Getting a tiny bit burnt out even though like I think these events are super cool But at first I was going into the week with the mentality that I needed to show up for every little thing I got invited to just to show face make those connections network Which obviously I've been like doing and I love it and honestly it's been really really great for me But then You do go to like a couple of those events where I'm just like, okay, why did I come? I'm literally going to be here for like two seconds show my face and leave And sometimes it's just like not worth driving through the traffic for Um, but I mean it is Friday night So I thought we could just like go to this event and then like bop around town I just like see what's up, you know Because I feel like when it is a Friday night, especially if south by southwest is going on and I'm at home Like doing nothing. I'm definitely going to be having foam out and just feeling like You know, I need to be out like Literally just checking out what's going on for my business like in a business perspective because of like networking opportunities Which I know I feel like my mind is always just like business business work work work And I need to like chill sometimes, but I don't know how and I don't know when that's gonna be happening. So For now, this is just how I am, but I'm gonna go put on some makeup I'll probably do some instagram stories for that So I think I need to get dressed before I do that because I wanted to show my foundation I feel like I've been getting a lot of questions about like the foundation base I use and it's l'oreal pro glow I've been talking about it for Forever, it's literally always my go-to foundation like I always kind of like, you know, double in More higher end foundations from Sephora like Charlotte Tilbury is my go-to high-end foundation But unfortunately that color is kind of like my summer color. It's like a little bit darker So whenever my skin tone gets a little bit more on the fair side I go back to the l'oreal pro glow and I love it so much It just like lasts long and if you are more oily then you can do the pro matte and it's also great I just feel like for my dry skin It kind of like feels really tight on my skin and I feel like I can't move my face But I think I'm being dramatic. So I don't know anyways, I'm gonna get dressed and let's have a good day I was gonna straighten my hair, but I really want to try to film an apartment tour today If I can like clean my whole house and I was thinking I wanted my hair curly But I did like quick curls over my natural hair. So it kind of looks a little messy But I text a niggie and then told her I would be like 10 minutes late and she was like perfect Which it's so nice when you're running late and then the other girl's running late too And we're just kind of like on the same vibe Um, but yeah, I'm gonna go pack my like computer bag because I think we're gonna just like chill there Work for a little bit and then we'll head to some congress Done working at Soho house and this is Nagin. Hi. The reason why I even was able to go to Soho house We love a member. Yes And it was so cool inside. I did sneak a video or two, you know, I couldn't help myself honestly. It's illegal Yeah, it literally is legal I couldn't tag them though because like obviously they would come and find my ass and like literally put me in jail I think that's yeah, that's what she said But we are getting tired hitting that midday slump. We're just like I think we should yeah But also I think we were in a food coma. The food was like, you know, pretty good. So We did think the juices would be in a cup and not a bottle. I know that was really interesting But but it's okay because they were so good. So we love a good juice. Okay, we're gonna go home now Bye. It's hours later and we're actually gonna go out to an event that I got invited to I think it's on congress avenue. So we're gonna bop around. I made like a reservation if we make it We make it if we don't we don't but this is the fit for the night. I have this top from shop boom It's just so flattering honestly, and it's like one of my go-to like going out tops Then I have this belt thingy from amazon. I wish I got it longer I think you can like choose the size but I wish it was like hanging more but I'm a thick girl and I did not realize that I needed like a longer belt for that kind of like look And then these jeans are from abracombie Um, and then the shoes that I need to like retie are from asos and they're alexander queen dupes kind of Um, and we're just drinking margs. I'm gonna have a drink before we go I just took sophie out really quick and then she had a poopy butt And I was trying to get like the poop out of her and I kind of like smeared on her by accidentally So then I had to wash her so We were supposed to leave like 20 minutes ago, but no worries I think the event ends at 9 30, but our reservation's like at 8 30. So Like I said, if we make it great if we don't I don't know what we're gonna eat because I really haven't eaten too too much today. Cheers having a little margarita compliments of The mixologist himself. Oh, yeah I feel like you never Like finish all the salt The salt is my favorite part a lot of salt I know but I love salt. So recently I think I talked about this either all my stories to talk or vlog I don't know too much to keep up with these days But I have been recently feeling like the weirdest tingling feeling in my lips after I drink alcohol I've tried multiple cocktails and they all do it and none of their ingredients were the same So I'm just like really confused over what it could be. I mean it has to be like the alcohol Because it's like not ginger. It couldn't be like the tahin. It couldn't be like the salt So I'm really weirded out because it only started like maybe in january or maybe in december actually, but it's so odd I'm sad about it We're heading out and the event is for jc penny and I don't really know much else to be honest I literally just got invited like a couple of days ago, but I will vlog on my iphone for you guys I definitely don't want to bring my camera out because we'll probably be drinking and everything like that But we're gonna call the uber soon And I'll insert some clips here that wraps up this weekly vlog If you guys are not already subscribed go ahead and do so because I post these every single sunday and you can see Real-time content on my instagram tick tock. I'm pretty much everywhere. It's all so underscore gnarly without the g So I hope to see you guys in the next video. Bye
