 Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali and welcome to my channel. If you guys are new, it is Friday and it is almost 10 a.m., I think. Yeah, almost 10. I'm currently getting ready. I'm about to blow dry my hair. And this is kind of like what my hair looks like when it's natural. It's like very weird. It's like straight, wavy. It's just, I don't even know what's going on. It used to be like a lot more wavy when I was growing up, but it's sad, it like straightened out a lot. This is also an update on my balayage. It actually lightened up quite a bit, which like I like, but then I'm also like, damn, is this too light? Cause like, obviously I went from having black hair. So I don't know. I think I need to get the blue shampoo and start using that. I don't really know much about like the hair stuff, but he did tell me to get a blue shampoo and I haven't done that yet. So I need to do that this weekend. Today I'm going to vlog my whole day, but I wanted to give you guys an update on my white couch because that video got a lot of views and a lot of questions and also like kind of a lot of hate for having a white couch. Like I'm 23, I don't have kids. The only person that would spill on the couch would be like me or my boyfriend. And like we honestly really haven't spilled that often or like, I mean, maybe like we dropped food, but it's not like spilling liquids on the couch. This is our couch. This is our Wayfair couch. It is a sectional. Unfortunately, I cannot link it for you guys because it is not on the site anymore. Super awesome. Actually not. I'm actually really sad about it because I made a whole video on this couch and I linked it and literally I get comments every day like, can you link it? And like in the description, I literally say like there's no link for it anymore. So you can kind of see where we usually sit. This is my part of the couch. I usually sit here. I feel like we just need to fill it with like more stuffing. I don't really know. Even these pillows just like, I feel like they could have done better with these pillows. And I don't know. I just feel like it definitely looks worn in, but we haven't really gotten it like dirty, dirty. The only thing that I hate that happened to this couch is this. It's like very pilly. Do you see that? I don't know. It's just like, obviously it's from like the materials of our clothes rubbing up against this material of the couch. So like it's kind of like blue because we have like blue jeans and like leggings, black leggings. So it's all over the couch. And just to kind of give you a comparison, this is like what the couch looks like. And this is what it probably should look like because this is just like a pillow. So we don't really use it that much. So it definitely piled really bad. And also there is like a couple of like random water stains but like it's not like we ever really spilled water. I'm still trying to figure out what created that. And I think there's like one other, but I'm not sure where it is. Oh, might be that stain right there. I just put on a red lip, so don't mind that. But this couch, like do I regret getting a white couch? Absolutely not because it's literally been my dream to get a freaking white couch. And it looks so good with the place because everything's like, you know, just kind of like monochromatic. But I kind of feel like now there are so many other options I could have chose. I will be linking some similar sectionals in this video. So you guys can check them out. After this couch got discontinued, I just kind of like wanted to search the web. And I found like these ones from Living Spaces and they were actually cheaper than this one, which sucks because they look even just like whiter, which honestly I feel like this probably came in like a little bit of a whiter color. But I think I chose like a little bit of an off-white just so it could get a little bit dirty. But I will be linking the Living Spaces sectionals down below and anything else that I can find that's similar to this one. Especially if you don't have kids or like anyone really messing up your shit. Like I said, I have a dog but she doesn't really like pee on the couch or anything. I personally think a white couch is beautiful. Like I've said, I have been wanting a white couch for so long. Like this is like one of the biggest purchases I made when moving into here because I just had my heart set on having a white sexual. So please let me know if you guys have any suggestions for like the pilliness. I don't know where I put it, but we bought like a... Oh, here we go. Okay. We got this device. I got it on Amazon and it is like a, you can see that there's like some of this pill shit in there. But it's like a pill razor. So we tried doing this. We actually tried using like Ryan's like regular like shave razor. Both of them like they obviously it works but it doesn't work like amazingly. And it definitely takes like a lot of effort and like you have to really push hard if you want to get anything like, I don't know. I feel like this just doesn't work or like maybe I just got a cheap one because I think I did. If you guys know of any pill cutters that work really, really well, please, please send me a link because I am struggling over here. I was also thinking of just taking it to the dry cleaners and seeing what they could do. But then I'm also worried about like the bottom half of the couch looking so much wider than like the normal part of the couch. So I don't know really what to do. My battery just died. Luckily I had an extra spare. But like I was saying, please leave any recommendations on what I should do about my couch. I'm really just worried about the pills. I feel like that makes it look 10 times worse than just like the stains cause you can't really see the stains all that well. So yeah, if you guys have any recommendations on how to get rid of pills off your couch, please comment down below or you can DM me on Instagram. We can have a full on couch combo if you want. My arm was starting to hurt so I had to put you guys down but I am gonna go to precision camera at 1130 because I'm picking up my lens and this is not a new lens actually. Unfortunately my like most expensive, newest lens literally like broke pretty much. So basically I always buy my camera equipment used on eBay which you know, some may say is stupid. In this case it was so freaking stupid. This lens originally costs, I think I wanna say like 2,500 or somewhere in that range. And I think that I saw it on eBay for 2,000 or like 199 or somewhere in that range. So obviously I was like, ooh, $500 less is like better than paying full price. And so I got the lens, it worked for like a good, I wanna say month or so. And then I started having issues with it. Like it pretty much like wouldn't connect with the body. Like it would like lock in, you could hear it but the body would say like, like lens not found pretty much like it would give an error. So I took it to precision camera after that happened cause I was so worried about it. I wanted to get it fixed right when that happened but they didn't really see the issue cause it like fixed itself, I guess. So I was like, okay, like hopefully it's good to go. Like hopefully that was just like some random like thing that happened. But then I was like shooting this event and I was like so excited with like the images that I was getting from the lens. I was like, oh my God, these are amazing. Like I'm so pumped to give these to them. And of course like I was zooming on the lens and the zoom locked up. And like I never had that happen. And I was really praying that I just like hit a button that I didn't know about that like locks the zoom. But unfortunately it was having that like error that it wouldn't show up, that I was like connected on the body of the camera. So I took it into precision camera like literally the next morning. And of course they were like, well, it looks like you dropped it. Like blah, blah, blah. They were being like, of course, like kind of mean because obviously they just want to like get the most money out of you. And I'm just like, I literally didn't drop it. Like it's new and like, it just sucked. And also I was without the lens for a good four weeks ish. And I had like shoots while I was without this lens. And this is like one of my best lenses. So I was just really sad about the whole thing. Obviously this is an investment into my business. Like that is one of my best lenses. And I wasn't just gonna not pay for it. So I kind of had to. I really didn't have any other choice. But it just really sucks that I had to repair it right after I like just got it like nearly the summer off of eBay. And I can't really contact the seller because like the thing has been taken off. Like I don't really know how to go about doing all that. And like I really don't think they would do anything cause like they would probably just be like, well you ruined it or like you dropped it. And I'm like, you probably sold it to me like dropped and fucked up. But anyways, I'm trying to get over it. Money will come and money will go. And I'm just like, there are more important things to think about in the world. So I'm just really happy that I'm going to pick up this lens and it's going to be hopefully like brand new because I actually have my first solo wedding on the 22nd of February. So I was really, really nervous because they told me like four to five weeks and it was like right up against the wedding date. I was like, oh my God, if I don't have this lens and I have to like rent the lens, I would be so mad. So yeah, thank God for that. And I actually have a really exciting shoot on Sunday morning with like a sorority council at Laguna Gloria. And if you guys are in Austin, you know where that is and you know what it is and it's beautiful. So I really wanted that lens. So I'm going to go pick it up today. I'm really excited. And I'm just ready to have my baby back and I'll take really good care of it even though I didn't drop it in the first place. But anyways, I'm just going on a ramble now. So sorry. Sometimes I get so fed up with my hair that I literally just clip it back really fast and I never know what it looks like. And that is one of those times I was just like all up in my face. I'm picking up Nagin right now and we're actually going to head to precision camera to pick up my lens. And I don't know if I said this already but we're going to go to In-N-Out and take our pictures. I'm really excited to do this because I've literally been wanting to do this ever since the Tumblr days. Like every time I went to visit my family in California, I would go to In-N-Out and just try to be all Tumblr and shit. Never worked out. But hopefully this time it works out. I don't know, hopefully. I brought like a lot of random little props. Like a red bandana. I think I'm going to wear my jean jacket with this outfit too. She sent me this really cute photo that we are going to try to recreate. Hello. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day. All right guys, we're in and out. We are doing a little photo shoot here. We're jeans over there, chosen. And honestly, I feel like it's not as embarrassing as we thought it would be because there's like these dividers. So people can't really even see us when we're like in a random corner. So it's going good. And the camera looks really good too. So I'm really excited about these. But we're waiting for our food. I don't know. Out here being extra at In-N-Out. Oh my gosh. Camera. I know. It's like all my backpack. We did it at a higher angle. So you know. This girl. So the last time I tried In-N-Out, I think it was like the first time Ryan tried In-N-Out. And I was really sad because I feel like it was really underwhelming. But I feel like that's how people feel about Waterbury when they try it. My boyfriend's mom is obsessed with Waterbury. So when she comes here, she's like, I don't have to get out of here. I'm really sitting so close to you. Wait, but I think you're not in. Oh, you're right. It's like, oh, I'm sorry. That's not what we've been doing. Totally forgot. Wow. Not a vlogger. I didn't vlog it, but we went to precision camera before this and picked up my lens. That was, when she saw the price, she was like, of the repair because, I mean, especially Sony equipment, very expensive. Camera equipment in general is very expensive. And this lens is like, it's like a wedding photography lens. It's like really good. It's a good lens. So I was just like, I really don't have any, like, I can't not fix it because I need it. It's already justified. Yeah, it's already justified. So like, whatever. It's for my business, but yeah. We're not going to talk about how much it was. Yeah, if we were to. Yeah, we're not going to talk about it ever again. Because it didn't happen. I was. What purchase? What repair? What purchase? I told the guy, like at the counter, I was like, yeah, I was really trying to manifest it being under 200 bucks. Like, he was like, well, it didn't work. I was like, you're telling me, like, I tried, but manifestation works most of the time. Not one. Not on my favorite. It was a big ask. It was a big ask. So we did this shoot for like a gown and today kind of thing. Just like that kind of a theme. I was like, raising my hand. Ma'am? What are you doing for Valentine's Day, if you know? No. But I got Ryan presents. And I'm really excited because he has presents. And I'm really excited because I was like, kind of broke during Christmas time, so I didn't get anything, but he got me stuff. I felt bad and I really felt really guilty. Yeah. So like, you know, this Valentine's Day, hopefully I don't make it up, make up for it. I bought it like a couple of days ago and usually I'm like, I have a surprise for you. Or like, I have a present for you, you know? But like, first of all, I don't really want him to like, feel like he has to get me anything because he got me a Christmas present. And like, I don't want him to feel like he has to. So, but then also like, I'm like really bad at keeping secrets. Like, I just get so excited about it, you know? And I'm just like, I can't wait, you know? Like, I have to tell you, like, those are the best. Yeah. So I'm excited. But I'm also nervous because I'm going out of town next week. So I don't know if it's going to show up at the door or like in the mailbox that you checked. You can try the mail, oh. Because I'm like, I have to check it. Yeah, no, because I get the text and he doesn't get the text from our apartment. Valentine's Day, full force, you guys. Actually, okay. I may put the roast chicken with my cousin. Who's a girl? And then, or I may have like, go to like a dancing place in our town Hotel Vegas, maybe? And like dance with girls. I've never heard that. Yeah, same. It's a hotel? No, no, no. It's like a dance bar. This is a really fun photo shoot. Like, I'm really glad we did it. So much fun. Yeah. Got me out of my house. It's a beautiful day. Yesterday was freezing. Oh my gosh. It was snowing. It was snowing. Oh, I don't know if I told you, but yeah, it snowed in Austin. The weirdest thing that does that happen often. Like once a year. Oh. Mm-hmm. Okay, cool. It was very weird. It was a little bit later. I actually just finished filming a video. Once I got home, I was so sleepy. I really wanted to take a nap, but I was just like, you know what? Push through. It's gonna be okay. Film this video. So I just got done with that. And Ryan's home early. And literally, tell him what you said. I got an email. My presence got here today. She said she got me something for Valentine's Day. I'm completely joking. Not knowing that they're there. And she was like, how'd you know? I was like, I think I get emails. I know that I'm the only one that gets the emails from the apartment that like, I get the codes for the mailbox center. So I was like, what the heck? You get emails now? What the frick? Like I thought I was pulling a fast one on him. And then he was like, no, you like got him today or whatever. I was like, oh, like, do you want him now? I tell her no. She's like, you're fine. Take him. Yeah, I know. Cause now I'm just like, well, shit. Like I can't keep hiding this. So do you want to share what you got with the class? Yeah. She's in the morning, sorry, ever, on my own shoes. Cloud Swift or something. I think I'm gonna say you're 12 and a half. Yeah. We can go to R.E.I. tonight. I don't know if they have like half-size in stock, but I mean, you can return them online anyways, but. And then if you know me, I'm a Ho-Dinky fanboy. She kind of got me this magazine. I've been wanting to ask for it, but well. You didn't ask. I've never heard you ask for this, but you probably asked her mom. They have a few, this is like three, but they have a few of Asper for Christmas every single year. I've never gotten one. I know, when you told me that, when you told me that, I was like, that's kind of sad. I was like, I'm gonna ask for it. So what's so great about this like, like I don't get it. Like it's not like a subscription. So it's just like a magazine. Like how did you know what volume to get? And like, why did you choose that one? You know. You chose this one. No, baby, you literally said, like I swear to God, I wrote it down right when you said, you were like, you know what I never got? Like volume series three. I was like, okay. No, I said I'm gonna ask for all three of them. I'm sorry. No, it's fine. This is like $30 magazine. They basically took a compilation of a bunch of like different pictures of stuff that they write about. It was like a publication. They put it online. I mean, they like a preferred coffee one. Oh, damn. I hope there are some good pictures in there. I swear, I heard three. What do you have for your volume? Just many, not four volumes. No, they have like way more than that. I think, I don't know. That's what she used to do. Oh yeah, Keith. They did a Keith drop today. We need Keith, uh, G-Shopper. Ryan knows all the brands. He's so like more, he's way more trendy than me. Can you make these pictures? I wish I could. The next lens I'm gonna buy is a macro. I can take that, I mean. Duh. New York City. Duh. It's like, am I a magazine? Done. This is the CEO, big client. Yay. Thank you. Of course, Ryan was just like, you always go all out for Valentine's Day. Cause one year. Yeah, me too. What? Actually, I really get much for each other for Christmas. Yeah. And she always randomly just gives me something huge for like Valentine's Day. I got him a Yeti in high school. Yeah, so random.
