 Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Snollie, welcome to a new vlog. Today I'm doing something super fun that has been on my bucket list ever since I moved to Austin and that is going to the Fredericksburg wineries. We're celebrating one of my friend's birthdays today, so we got a bus, we're doing the whole thing. I think we're going to three wineries, so I thought it'd be fun to vlog. I've actually never been to a winery really before. Well, I went with my parents, but that was like when I was really young, so now I get to join them. We're at the house pre-gaming. We got some bread over here. Allie's big four 24. I'm looking gorgeous, this is. We're at Sonora, right, Molina? Anyone? Is this Sonora? Where are we? I'm just showing you. Do we know where we are, Jackie? We're at Sonora winery and it's going to be so good. We're going to have a tasting. This is beautiful. It really is. It's really nice. I'm going to get married. Oh, that would be so cute. Let's do it. This is stunning. The flowers and everything. We're praying that the rain doesn't come down on us. We are those people on our land. This is so nice. The wine barn. Even the back part of it is beautiful. It's in your... Signore vineyard. At least, yeah. So, we're going to do this one. The momma said there would be days like this. He recommended it to me because I like sweet wines, so I think we're going to split that. I'm also an influencer, but I do all mine right here. Yeah? Oh, you influenced me to get the wine, right? Just for getting started. Thank you. What about the Rochambe? Also. She's so good. Jackie said it was Sonora vineyards. Okay, I said it was Signore, and then he said it's... It's Ignore. But like, so, we're here. Okay, okay, same thing. What's this market over here? Did you go in? Yeah, I think it's store, so they have a bunch of stuff, you can buy cheese, wine. Oh, that's cute. They have like home goods. It's cute. Believing, Signore vineyards. How drunk are you? One to 10. Five. I would say five. Five. I would say like maybe even four. And I like drink a lot of champagne, you know? Like, why? Why does this happen to me? Five. This is our next location. This is what it's called. All stuff. We're going to go find out if we can order food because I think this is the... I think... Which is where we can get food and we're hungry. Is it a brewery or a winery? We don't know. We'll find out. I got a pretzel, a splig with live. It was like seven bucks, and then the spree sling was like 13. And then the last place, we split a bottle. So it was like, I want to say like 36. Maybe even cheaper. And we split it between five people. So it was a little cheaper than buying it by the glass. And we just pre-gamed a bunch on the bus. So you guys are interested in coming to Fredericksburg. And that's how we did it. I'm gonna miss mom, we don't do shit. Sad ass, I'm really excited. So we're gonna get food. And it's... It doesn't did it? Yeah, time to nap on the bus. It literally is. It's four o'clock and we're ready. We've been baking in the sun and we're ready for a nap. So... It's time, time. We're gonna go back to Austin. We're on our 70s bus. That's how I want to be right now. It's almost seven PM and we got home around like 5.30, I think. The bus ride was like an hour and 30 minutes. So on the way, it kind of felt like a long time, but on the way back, you know, your girl was passed out. I definitely took a nap and that made it go a lot faster, but I'm so glad I got to experience like the wineries. I definitely think the first one was my favorite, the Signor vineyards. The second one we went to was more like a beer garden vibe. It was definitely a lot more beer and they had like a pretzel and a sausage you could choose from. And I mean, I got Riesling just cause I wanted to stick with wine cause I'm not like a beer gal. And then the third one, I didn't get anything out, but I tried Jackie's. I think it was like peach frozen sangria and it was pretty good, but it was definitely more of like a touristy place. It was definitely more lively, actually had live music. So it was more like fun, dancy vibes. Personally, I just like the first one better. So if I went back, I'd probably really only stick with that one or maybe like check if there's other like really chill wineries like that kind of thing, but I'm glad we got to like get a taste for them all. I actually switched out my camera this morning because I wanted something more compact to bring it my purse. And so I was vlogging with my old camera, which is a Sony a5 100. So that's why the quality is kind of like changed a little bit, but I kind of missed that camera. It's just, you know, there's so many great things about this camera that I'm using, which is the Sony a7 III. Right now my apartment is glowing and it makes me so sad because obviously we're leaving here in like a month or so and I'm gonna keep you guys updated with the apartment stuff. I'll probably post an update in the next week or so when things are official, but I did order some swatches online because I just kind of want to revamp and get some new furniture. I feel like I haven't really treated myself in a while. I was literally telling Ryan that I wanted to go on vacation to like Cancun and in all inclusive and just chill for a week on the beach, but then it's hard to like spend your money on a vacation when you're so used to like your parents paying for it when you grew up, you know what I mean? Like it's just a weird thing. Like they haven't really paid for a vacation in a while. I feel like, but still, now that I'm like an adult adult and like I have my own money, it's just so hard to like be like, okay here let's just spend like so much money on a vacation that's gonna last you a week. I feel like I'd rather just have something that I could hold on to for a while, you know? Part of me is like, okay, a vacation would be really nice. And then the other part of me is like, okay, but this piece of furniture is gonna be in my house like all the time, you know? Comment down below what you guys feel. Are you more of the experienced person? Would you rather just go on vacation or would you rather buy like a handbag or a piece of furniture or I don't even know what else. But anyway, so I wanted to show you guys just like the swatches that I got because I freaking love my couch, like I adore it and it still is still pretty good, but I kind of want to switch it up, you know? So let's see what I got. All right, so I got some swatches from Crate & Barrel first. Okay, so this is like an interesting texture. I mean, it looks like similar to my couch right now. And then I got these two. It's hard because you can't really tell. This is more like a velvet almost, which I don't really like that. But I do like a more white color because our couch right now is an off white and I'll link it down below if you guys are interested. There's really nothing wrong with our couch. The best reason I want to look into a new couch is because the place we want to move into like this specific unit, this couch is like left hand-facing, but if we brought this couch into the new place, then it would be blocking like the door to go outside. So I think we're gonna have to switch it up and get either like a not like a sectional, just get like a couch, like a sofa or get one that's like right hand-facing. When I was again, Pinterest for apartment decor, I found this company called Made in Home and I'm just gonna post a picture of this chair. Please let me know what you guys think because I think this might be my treat to myself. I just don't know. It is pretty freaking expensive for a chair. I won't even lie to you guys, but it's so beautiful. I feel like this could be like our accent piece. Like we'll get a sofa and then this chair. I've noticed that I really like just single chairs, especially when I'm editing, like when I was home, we have these like orange or Kleiner kind of chairs and they're just like so perfect to just sit and edit and like work and like really sit up, you know, instead of like being on the couch, like really just wanting to lay down if that makes sense. Okay, these are the swatches for this chair. So we have this one. I don't know if you can really even see it. I'm not sure if it's focusing. This one is that trendy fabric. No, wait, is it? Yeah. Okay, so you know those CB2 chairs that literally every influencer has? It's in this texture called Bouclei and it kind of looks like your couch is kind of already pilling, which is very interesting because my couch is pilling right now and you know, I don't love the look of it. And then we have just like this normal, just white, white, good texture. I'm so bad at this, what texture is this? I don't even, okay, performance, texture, linen. And you know what's great about all of the couches that I was looking at is that they are performance textured so they don't really stain easily. They're like dirt resistant and everything like that. So that is another reason why I kind of want to give a new couch. But again, there's like nothing wrong with my couch. It's just that the layout of the new apartment that we might be moving into just doesn't fit it. So all good. I'm excited. But also like getting new furniture takes forever. So that's why I'm trying to like, you know, figure out where we're living. So I can order it ASAP because a lot of couches are like, yeah, it'll get there in 22 weeks. Like what the hell, like 22 weeks? That's like almost half of my lease, you know? Like who knows if we're gonna stay there another year. But yeah, so that is the updates for that. It's just so bright in my apartment right now. Like seriously, I'm gonna be really, really sad at this unit that we get doesn't have good lighting like this, but kind of a feeling it's not gonna have this grade of lighting because there's so many windows in here, you know? But like I said, I'm gonna keep you guys updated and I'm really excited to be filming like moving content and just like apartment content. And since I'm doing like more furniture shopping and just like kind of revamping like decor videos and everything like that. Because in the guest room, my filming room or whatever, that has like all of my college dorm decor. So I haven't really decorated except for my bedroom and it was pretty minimal. Like I got a lot off of Facebook Marketplace. We got our headboard custom actually and I'll show you guys because I actually get some comments on this headboard which is so awesome because I love it so much. This headboard is custom. So I literally just showed the guy the design I wanted. It's kind of this like hair and bone design. And I think it's so pretty. He did it with post oak wood. And then I got these frames, I think from like Target or something and I printed those prints out like FedEx. I'm not even sure, something like that. And then these are actually from Facebook Marketplace. And when I moved them in here, I wanna say I saw an opal house sticker on them. So they're from Target maybe. And then these lamps are from Target too. Since we were just talking about our couch, I'll just show you guys really quick if you haven't seen it already. Seriously, it is so comfortable. I feel like people always ask me is it actually comfortable? Yes, like we always fall asleep on it. Me and Ryan can fit. Me and Ryan can cuddle on it. It doesn't look super huge. It doesn't look super deep, which I do wanna get like a deeper couch. Well, I'm getting a new couch, but it is still pretty deep for like a couch to size. It's 110 inches that way. And I think we're gonna look into getting something tiny bit smaller, just so it can really fit in our new unit. But like I said, I'm not really even sure what's going on with that. And then here's our coffee table. On Facebook Marketplace. If you guys are furnishing a home or apartment, highly recommended to check Facebook Marketplace because you never know what you can find. Can we just appreciate the lighting in here? Oh my God. I mean, it's really not always like this. It's just a really sunny day and it has been gloomy for a while. So it sucks, but I also need to do a lot of organization like in this pantry and just like in that back room in my closet. So I got a lot to do before we even really think about moving. Good morning, y'all. It is Sunday and the room is kind of a mess because I'm about to film a Princess Polly Hall. Last night, Ryan actually came home really late. Like his flight got delayed a little bit. I picked him up at 10 and now he's out playing golf. I was supposed to have a grad session this morning, but I canceled it because it was set. It was gonna rain. Last night when I looked, it was 80% this morning and I don't think it rained. I really don't think it rained at all. So stupid. I hate this freaking weather. I can't get over it because literally like this is my busiest season and I'm just like so stressed out trying to like reschedule people. And I really tried to give myself like the weekend for like a me time kind of thing, but now I'm gonna have to reschedule people to the weekends and it's just a little crazy. So I'm really, really hoping that everything clears up this week because our friends are coming in town on Thursday. So I don't want to have to like reschedule some grads to like the time that they're here. I mean, I can always do it like really early in the morning when they're sleeping or something, but I don't really want to because that's kind of like my vacation too. So we'll see about that. But yeah, I just combed my hair with like the wand, like the OG wand that you get at the mall or whatever. Actually, I got mine from Bombay hair, but literally the same thing, like the black just like stick. And I really like how it turned out. I feel like my hair is gonna last a little bit longer instead of doing those like beachy waves with like the actual iron clamp, if that makes sense. So I wanted to just like switch it up and see what it would look like. And I think I like this. I have so many random curlers that I get into phases of using. So maybe this will be a new phase, but I do need to clean up this little room and I'm just getting a little stressed, not gonna lie because I feel like I need to sell a shitload of stuff that is in this room and just like in our apartment in general. Like I have a guitar that I literally haven't used since, like really used since like maybe high school and it's just chilling in this room and I need to get rid of it because I'm not really gonna play guitar ever again. I don't think like it was nice to have because at one point Ryan wanted to like learn how to play and you know, I like to, you know, strum on it sometimes, but it's just not a thing that I do often at all. Like I don't touch it for months. So I need to get rid of that. I need to get rid of like so much of this decor. I think I said this yesterday when I was talking about the couch, but I want to just like revamp my filming room, the guest room and just get rid of like all this decor. I mean, I love the shelves though. I'll show you guys, hold on, you're on my tripod. This is the decor I'm talking about. I am obsessed with those shelves. So I might not sell those, but just like kind of do some different decor on the shelves because I feel like that's just too kitty and I'm an adult now and I'm just like kind of over the stars and I might keep that base because I feel like that's cute. I'm also thinking I'm gonna get rid of that chair which was like the best freaking Facebook marketplace find. I really need to do like a tech talk on everything I got off of Facebook marketplace. So basically it was just this ratan, is that what it's called? Ratan chair. And this is what it looks like. And then I just throw this little blanket on top to make it look a little bit better because this like cushion over here is just not cute at all. So that's what I do for that and it doesn't look bad. And then for my guest office room thing, whatever, I think I'm gonna get rid of the bed and just get like a pullout couch because people don't really even visit us that often. So it's like, you know, I'd rather have this space to like film and do my stuff and just work in the office. It's almost 12.30 so I'm gonna really quickly film this princess polyhull. And then the girl that I was supposed to photograph this morning, I think we're just gonna start at three because on the radar it says it's not gonna rain from like three to five. This radar thing has been really helping me out if you guys didn't know like on the weather channel app, you can press this little button and you can like see ahead of time. So the green is like the rain and when you go further, there's no rain in Austin. So I've been really like banking on that to tell me what the heck is up because, oh, okay, now the hourly changed and it's not gonna rain but it's so annoying and I'm really sad because it looks like in my rain like next week in winter, my friends are in town and I just like don't love when like people come to see a city and then the city's like not at its best. I mean, obviously you can't change anything but for example, the first time I went to Nashville was on New Year's Eve and it was like not the best weather and like things were closed on New Year's Day. So that was on me just like not going at the right time but I'm actually going to a bachelor party in September to Nashville. So hopefully I'll get a redo then but I also wanted to do a boat day with them and I was like, you know, getting all my friends to come and everything like that. And then I was just like honestly, like I think we should not do it because the weather looked so iffy. It was like 50% then it's now at 30 for next Saturday but I was just like, eh, I don't want it to like be like 70 degrees and we're on a bone and we're freezing in this miserable and we can't swim. You know, I feel like I'd rather just like push it back till later in the summer. Anyways, okay, I'm going to stop rambling need to film this haul. I think I'm going to do it like a different way than usual because usually I just set up my tripod and like show you guys my outfit but I really like, I did like an Abercrombie like my must haves from Abercrombie and I just filmed it in my mirror like a little OTD kind of video. So I think I'm going to do it that way. I feel like it's easier for me to talk that way. It just like feels more natural. So I think I'm going to do that and let's get this stuff filmed. I need some energy really quickly. I need to put on some more lip stuff. I've been really liking lip oils recently. This one's actually from Merit and it's a newer brand at Sephora. Just going to put this on top of my lipstick. This is in the color on natural or on natural roll. I don't know. It's really pretty though. It feels so good. Okay. I swear. Now I'm ready. I just finished filming my princess Polly haul and I made it in time to have like a chill like 30 minutes before I have to go to the graduate. I think I should leave it like 230 but guess what? The sky is blue. The sky is blue. There's no rain. Just want to thank God and let's keep it this way. That's all I have to say. Like the weather. Oh my God. The weather. Like let's see if it changed. If any day this week is not raining on the forecast. Again, nevermind. Tomorrow is 60, Tuesday is 50. Wednesday is 50. Thursday is 50. Friday is 50. You get the gist. Oh my God. Next, not this coming Tuesday but the next Tuesday is like the only sunny day. Hopefully it like just clears up because I'm just like really worried about the grads because this weekend is their graduation at UT. So I want them to have their photos like by graduation or like a little after. I don't want to have to reschedule them to after graduation because I know they're trying to get their photos like ASAP and I feel that. I did want to edit a video but I feel like 30 minutes isn't enough time but honestly, I should just edit it because I feel like whenever Ryan's here I just want to chill. I want to spend time with him because obviously I haven't seen him in two weeks. So yesterday I was supposed to edit but I was like, okay, this is so bad and me if I like even touch my computer. So we hung out and you know, I didn't work and I'm getting like a little bit better about that just like the work-life balance. I feel like that was like a big problem of mine is just like I never knew when to stop. And I mean, I still don't to an extent but I'm getting better, you know, baby steps but I think I just need to like wake up earlier sometimes and just like get shit done. But yeah, I need to edit that video. I actually have a lot of content to edit. I have my hair video because I just got my hair redone. I went to my friend, Mariana, she killed it. I'm actually going to take her maternity photos in June and it's going to be epic. I just have a feeling because she's extra and I freaking love it. I think I'm going to change into something more like athletic so I can like be ready to sweat. It kind of sucks because I put on makeup and they did my hair. So hopefully I don't really sweat that much but I have a feeling it's going to be a little bit humid outside. So I'm just going to prepare myself to sweat. I just took Sophie out and that's why I'm out of breath but I changed into a set active set. Kind of wanted to be a little bit more colorful. It's a Sunday. The sun's out. We need to celebrate with some color but I'm just packing a little camera bag. I actually got this one on Amazon. It's pretty little and I have a bigger one like a think tank one that's like really strong and fits like way more lenses. But for graduate, I really only use just two lenses. So it's not like worth bringing a big a big camera bag. Every time I shoot for like hours, my back gets so like burnt out or like, I don't know. It just feels like I'm about to have a back spasm at the end of the day and it does not feel good. So the less amount of weight on my shoulders and like back, the better. And that's actually why I didn't really get into wedding photography while I tried to get into it and then the few times I did it, it was just really painful for me. Like a long eight hour day, nine hour day sometimes and you'd be standing up on your feet the whole day and you would have like a big chunky camera and like a couple lenses on you. It was just a lot. And then also like it was on a Saturday, you know? So you couldn't really drink on a Friday because you didn't want to be hungover on a Saturday for the whole wedding. And then your whole Sunday is just like recovering because it was just a long day on Saturday. So I just didn't want like all my weekends to be taken up since Ryan works a normal job and like we do fun things on the weekends and I really look forward to them. So I don't want to like live my life dreading the weekends if that makes sense, especially because I already have a part-time job in the week. So that would be like just a lot of work. So I'm really glad I didn't make the decision not to photograph weddings anymore. I mean, at first I thought it was going to be like the most stressful thing to photograph but it really wasn't that bad. Like that part of it wasn't that bad and it was kind of fun but just like the long days I cannot do that. Like I'm just not physically made for that. So I'm just going to be sticking to like shorter sessions like grad sessions, obviously engagement sessions. I love to do couples, families and all of that. I literally do everything except weddings and I also do videography too and I just chose to do or try out photography and not do like videography for weddings because I already knew that like the gimbal really makes my back hurt. So I definitely knew I couldn't do that but I just thought photography would be different but it's kind of not. It's kind of the same in terms of like physical work kind of. I mean, you're still getting like different angles. You're like moving your body around a lot. So I just like wasn't used to it and I really need to look into getting a back brace for longer shoots because today I have like a two hour shoot and I think like a couple of days this week or like in the past I've had like a two hour shoot that I don't want to have our shoot and then like a one hour like it's a lot. It's about to get a little bit hotter here so I'm going to be pretty much dead but I'm going to go ahead over to UT's campus for this graduate and I'm hoping we're going to get tacos tonight because I feel like every time Ryan is away I always crave tacos from our taco truck lost troncos on the east side and I try to like wait for him to come home so that we can get them together because I would think that he would want them. I feel like we're always craving tacos when we get back from a trip. So I'm hoping we're going to get that for dinner. It's basically a Sunday tradition at this point but I will keep you guys updated after my grad shoot. It's 5.30. I just got done with my grad session and now I'm actually meeting Annie at Gloria's which is one of my favorite places to eat. I actually went here and vlogged it literally right before I left for my work trip. Ryan went to play golf with her fiance and apparently they ended up at a pub. So we were like trying to play on like a double date but then we were like, okay, let's just go to Gloria's ourselves because they were like not answering us. So maybe they can just meet us at Gloria's. We're going to get some chips and salsa and it's going to be a good day because we're going to sit out on the patio and it's just so nice outside.
