Perfect. I love it. I love it What would you tattoo to your body? Oh my god? I know I know I know oh my god I'm obsessed with the whole like under boob tattoo. Oh, I would never do that. I think it's so like Rihanna's is so cool but like he's literally fucked up Um, yeah, but I don't think I can ever like I'm not supposed to tattoo them totally get one, but that's so you have one I don't I almost did I remember it now. I remember the vlog. There's something like that Okay. Wait, isn't it wasn't it like the like It wasn't it wasn't it was a cross but it had a dash with it Because it was like in between in between the years that you know, yeah, I'm right. I love stuff with meaning So I'm but I overthink everything. Yeah, I don't really I have one that says Texas when I have a star for my cousin I love that. Who's your celebrity crush? We all love a good kj appa. Yeah, all of as of recent. It's Justin Timberlake. That's really All of a sudden like he's so hot And he's also like out of our age range tour. Yeah, I don't feel like I'm ever gonna accidentally run into him somewhere So I can say it and like not be like, oh my gosh, I hope that this never like something Today's episode we're gonna focus a little bit on burnout I Lisha and I have been talking about this topic since way before you took it right now. When did we start? hanging out like weekly Taylor and I think it was was it earlier this year or later last it was probably later last year It was like vlogmas. That's how I can tell it. Maybe maybe I think we were definitely out during vlogmas, but I think that I think that we started doing our week like January January because it was right before I moved into this house because we were sitting at the house And I was like I want to live here and then literally found out next week February. Oh my god. Okay, so it was so it was definitely January Yeah, no that was um Yeah, we've talked about burnout. I just YouTube for so long. Yes. Oh, it's just like my big YouTube sister Just as I do No, yeah, so I feel like you you probably stop coming More than some people of the most part of just like me needing a break break at the link for that stuff And you'd already taken a break to like yeah, oh my god. I did I took a week break Yeah, I mean I'm taking a week break as if that's anything well the thing with that though I was thinking about that after the fact a week break on YouTube isn't really even a break To be working for the next week. Yeah, so it's really not even a great in order to break YouTube It's gotta be a substantial period. I actually genuinely forgot about that. I yeah I tried taking a break and in my head. I was like, oh, this is enough like it doesn't matter. That's that's all I need I'm good for another year. Yeah, and What was that January four months later? Yeah, when did you like to know did you have if you guys I don't know Alicia took a break from her channel What was it? Yeah, she came back this week that we're filming it But it's you're got you're listening to this like a month later Yeah, when did you like know that you needed to like what was your turning point because this is also really Alicia is like Very dedicated to for her to take a break. It's a huge. Yeah. Yeah No, I feel like I can be a workaholic to her It's almost unhealthy. So me taking a step back. It was honestly and this is Not many people know How it came about I just remember feeling so stressed and even recently Well, like three weeks ago. I had a doctor like just check up and long story short Like my stress levels are so high that like my cortisol is off and everything and I'm just like are you stressed a lot? Yeah But anyways, um, so it was honestly kind of spontaneous in the sense of it. I didn't know till honestly right before I film that video. I Remember having a full-on breakdown, which at that time happened pretty regularly So I knew oh once I have a break like I'll have a breakdown. I'll feel better afterwards It's okay, and I remember I was with my sister We were at sweet green and we were talking and just catching up and I started venting and the second and this is such a movie moment I physically couldn't get the words out of my mouth saying I think I need to take a break By the time I finally get that out of my mouth I like how to fall in contact and sweet green had to go to the car and start bawling my eyes out And it was just like me having to say it out loud was so hard But when I finally got it out and see my response to that showed me Okay, I think I actually do need to take a break So then It was weird timing because I just remember thinking okay if I'm gonna take a break The business woman side of me like this is so me You'd laugh the business side of me was thinking okay if I'm taking a break I actually should announce it for this week's video because I don't have a video for this week which was half of the stress and stuff of trying to keep up and Summer and back to school and just like that time on YouTube is big and big on my channel Like that's the biggest time for my channel So it makes sense if I'm gonna take a break to take it in many so I can take a month off and come back for the biggest time on my channel So I think I filmed the break video maybe two three days after I had my breakdown It felt weird And I put it up that Sunday, so it was very quick, but I think it was a long time coming Yeah, I think it was definitely needed how like how how did it feel when you actually? Took a step back cuz you you stop it. You didn't do it. You know, yeah Well speaking back to that workaholic side of me I dove into Instagram and what I said in my main channel video was I'm not gonna be gone from all socials It's just a break for my main channel didn't realize it ended up being a break for my vlog channel two for about three weeks
