 Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sonali. Welcome to a new vlog. It is the start of South by Southwest last night I went out on rainy Street We did a locks club event and I've logged it in my weekly blog So if you guys want to check that out, I'll link it down below But today is a day full of events. So I thought I would take you guys along I'm actually headed out to meet some family for coffee there in town And I'm hoping that they bring their baby because I haven't met him yet But we're gonna go to Springdale General Cafe, Medici Get a little coffee in our systems Maybe some matcha for me and then I have an event starting at 11 30 So let's get the day started quick little overview. This sweatshirt is from Aloe Express Jeans are Abercrombie got my furry Birkenstocks on and We're ready to go Almost 11 the next event is at 11 30 on South Congress So I just need to do a little bit of touch up to my hair Probably put in some texturizing spray. Also, this is the brand. I'm actually going to the event. It's called dibs beauty And I love the shape. This is the the blush is rider dye and then the bronzer is Wing woman and It's such a good shade little contour stick on this end and then Some blush on this end. So that's what I have on my face And I use it every single day But yeah, hair is looking a little flat. Just gonna be using way texturizing spray And my face Okay, and then the trick is to look literally just flip your hair over a couple times a Thousand times better We're good to go not even 11 a.m. But we're already on the second outfit of the day This blazer is from pedal and pup this little tank top deal. Yo is from Abercrombie. It's like a little Bow tie top right there. It's super cute and very flattering and then this little gold chain ballast from Amazon Pants are silver like Co. I had Abercrombie jeans on and I realized that they were just like super not comfortable for like sitting down eating brunch, these are so stretchy and Literally my go-to pants. I love them so much I think you can purchase that Nordstrom and then I have my Dolce Vita Heels on I'm gonna try to link all my outfits. I talked about in this video on my like to know it So you can head over there. It's basically like an app where all your favorite bloggers Instagramers youtubers post The exact links to their outfits, so it's a really great app and you can also use it to just get like fashion inspo But I think I'm gonna head over there early just because I always am worried about being late So let's go guys. I'm so nervous, but I'm walking over to central standard for the dips beauty event Was so much fun and I like didn't want to leave I literally had to like force myself to get out of there and I am just So happy that I went I mean like obviously I was gonna go But I was so nervous and literally when I was walking there my heart was beating so fast I thought I was gonna like die just because I was nervous excited all of the things and I met so many cool people and I literally I wish I could like Bottle up this feeling of this high right now and just like have it forever Overall of the event they came out with two new shades of their duo sticks and I literally use their duo sticks every day This blush is I Want to say the wing woman shade. It's so good But I'm really really excited to try out the new shades Because it's more of like a mauve like a deep plum shade one of the blushes and I love that color Anyway, so that's number one The brunch food was really really good at the central standard right next to the South Congress hotel on South Congress so great spot and then again the people were just so amazing I met so many people that I've been following on Instagram for so long that I just have not gotten the chance to network with and Today was finally the day so I met Kayla Quinn. I've been following her since literally been season of the bachelor I met Kelly Ann, which I've been also following like when I kind of recently moved to Austin She's a makeup artist and does well now She's living in New York, but she does like celebrity makeup artists like a lot of influencers that I follow and she was honestly like so Freaking sweet and I hope that we can glam together soon I think I'm gonna go to New York soon and she said she would love to glam me and I was like I could die right now and then I met Courtney and she was stunning and I literally loved her outfit So freaking much and I saw my girl Jenna, which I haven't caught up with in so long and she's literally killing it Her podcast is so good. It's called fun on weekdays. If you guys are needing another podcast to listen to it's really good And she's so well spoken and just like she's just an entrepreneurial gal and I love to see it. She's killing it and So many other people I I literally cannot get over it and Unfortunately, I just feel so exhausted from it Like it's such a high that once you leave it's almost like kind of like a low because you're so exhausted from Talking and just being so excited that I feel like I think I'm gonna need to skip this next event Which was for Disney plus Because I need to prioritize the light to know at one because I feel like that's gonna be a good networking event for me and that starts at four It's currently almost three and the movie would have started at 3 30 But check in was at 2 30. So by the time we get all the way over to the long center I just don't think it's gonna be like worth it to go over there But I really wanted to show face because I wanted to like, you know network again I feel like this whole south by southwest thing I think it's like for everyone too but I feel like it's definitely about the networking for me and just like meeting people and And you know connecting with these brands and connecting with their teams and I just think it's like the coolest thing I mean, I've only been to what like two events already I went to the locks club event last night and I just I love it. I love seeing brands come to Austin and it just makes me so happy So definitely riding high right now and I'm gonna go home I literally just picked up some pizza from south side for Ryan And I'm gonna chill a little post all my stories because usually I just like capture the content when I'm in the moment and then I'll like post them tag everyone later just so I get everything right and Can really chill and you know make sure it's perfect and then We will probably go to the like to know it event at four. Um still riding a high honestly It's just been such a good day like seeing family. Also. I didn't really vlog that. Um, but I'll insert a picture here Here's my uncle and my aunt and they didn't bring the baby So I didn't get to meet him unfortunately But hopefully we're gonna plan a family reunion because those trips are always so fun We have such a big family on my mom's side and it's just really really fun to just like get together and see all The kids and just catch up, you know So it was really good to see them and they got to meet Ryan and they liked him and Ryan liked them So it just went really well. Um, but I wanted to open up the goodie bag on camera and kind of show you guys like The new shades of the dibs beauty uh duo sticks So the shade I use currently is the bronzers wing woman the blushes rider dye This is what that looks like. It's definitely more of like a warm tone bronzer. And then this is a blush I'm like obsessed with it So pretty Especially through summer like I love to put it on my nose right here. It just looks so good. Okay, but the new shades that they have are 5.5 and 1.5 So I'm really gonna love like this one especially because it's more of like a purple like mauve deep mauve kind of color Um, but the contours you kind of see it's more cool tone instead of being a little bit warm tones So those are the new shades and I'm really excited to like play around with them And then let's see what else is in here Okay, you have this little cookie and I actually love these kind of cookies. They're so good and then Okay, this wait This feels so luxurious It doesn't feel like glass like it's rubber. I've never felt something like this before but this is freaking stunning Okay, I love that I feel like Oh, okay So cute little hoodie action It says desert island beauty status. That's what dibs stands for This is the back. I feel like this is so cute. Wait, I didn't realize it was cropped. All right So it is currently 349 the like to know event starts at four and it's back on south congress So we're gonna head over there. I think I might change into something a little bit more comfier maybe just not wearing heels because It's just not a vibe for the rest of the day. Um, probably gonna put on some sneakers and I'm thinking of switching on my outfit just a little bit, but we'll see. I'll keep you guys updated My room is progressively getting messier by the second But this whole look is princess poly and I just went for like a little monochrome look. He starts in his poppin So many people out today And actually such good weather like it's cold, but at least we got pretty skies I feel like this day, I wish I could last forever that it's just so cool I'm meeting so many cool people So many like good connects and I just cannot be more grateful the opposite of that is So it's the last time we're going to see the sunset at 6.52 It's going to be 7.52 tomorrow. Yeah We're gonna have so much time when we wake up to be pitch black. Oh, jeez. It takes to see if you have the freezing cold Oh, gosh Hopefully this week it gets warmer Influencer boyfriend got the like to know it gear Yeah It's 7.42 and we are headed to our last event of the evening It's for an hbo max series and it's at vulcan gas company and I've never been to this venue I've literally never even heard of it. So shall we interesting? Um, and the uber is five minutes away. I just threw on a little sweat shirt Still have these white pants on from princess poly and then I'm gonna just throw over a camel coat because like honestly when I was out last night everyone was like bundled up And it didn't really matter if they were like looking super cute Plus tonight, I don't think we're gonna be out for too too long unless it's like super lit Um, which I'm hoping it would be but um, we're both really really tired So I'm craving to be like just in my bed right now But I do just want to check it out because you never know like even last night I didn't know that there was going to be like that musical performance And that was just the best part of like the night Well, not the best part of the night, but like the best part of that event So I'm very excited to see what it's like over there and we're gonna head out there now Good morning. Happy sunday. I'm getting ready to head out to My first and probably only event of the day it is sunday So I think it's just gonna be a lot slower of a day And I think it's gonna be really good weather out So hoping to take advantage of that later tonight But right now I'm gonna go to the create and cultivate event at fair market Which is on the east side and let me show you guys my outfit of the day. Okay, so first off I'm wearing this coat. I've literally been wearing all weekend from shop red dress You can like belt it and it's super cute because it's just really flattering Like that and then this top is from meshki And I don't know. I feel like it's too much boobs, but I can always pull it up a little bit These pants are from amazon I was obsessed with these pants last year and I'm not sure why I stopped wearing them They are so freaking flattering and I'm actually wearing leggings underneath Because I think I'm gonna have to wait in the line outside for a little bit And then shoes are charles and Keith. They have like a little heel A little kitten heel. So I'm about to head over there. Hopefully parking is not a mess I heard the first 200 people get goodie bags. So Let's go. We're at create and cultivate and I made a new friend. You want to introduce yourself and tell them you're at I'm jillian. You can find me at thighs and lows and I'm all about plus size and body positivity. Love that Love that. It's been great getting to know you. Yeah, you too We're close to the line Well, the start of the line and we're really crossing our fingers to get those goodie bags The first 200 are gonna get goodie bags. So I feel like we were definitely in the first 200 We got here at like what time like 9 20 9 20, I don't know somewhere around that. So we're here pretty early. So Fingers crossed On social media chances are you've heard of her She's one of the first people to scale influence as the creator of social commerce platform LTK formally reward style and like to know it. Hands up if you're familiar Vision for funding the creator economy has helped thousands of people make cash for their content Today the fashion influencer turn industry disruptor is leading the largest global influencer marketing platform with an impressive Two million dollar valuation. Let's give it up at home from create and cultivate and honestly I was not expecting to be there for that long. I waited three actually over three hours for um, the fashion portraits that the girl was doing and honestly it was so worth it. This is how it turned out and She is so talented like I wish I could draw like this. This is amazing I don't even know what I'm gonna do with it. Like should I frame it? I don't even know but I am obsessed but I thought I would show you guys what all I got from create and cultivate because I got a goody bag You had to be like the first 200 people to get in and honestly the line wasn't that long when I first got there at like 9 20 And I thought it would be like already hitting 200 people. So I was happy about that And what else? Oh my god? I met so many cool people like so many new people and I was actually supposed to meet one of my friends there and she I think overslept or something like I don't even know what happened But it's totally fine because usually I'm not very outgoing if I'm alone Like I'm more outgoing when I have friends around But today I was like trying to push myself outside my comfort zone and just like Connect with as many people as I could So that's what I did and I just like, you know make conversation with everyone and I feel like when you go to these events like Other people know it's kind of like a networking thing So like they're more open to meeting new people and just being kind I feel like in austin people are so nice though. Like I don't I don't think that's like an issue but I am just so happy that I went. I'm very exhausted though I'm not gonna lie But we got to take advantage of all these cool events and just getting free stuff and meeting cool people So I'm just so happy to finally have the ability to experience out by southwest So let's get in the goody bag. So first off. I have not eaten anything today It's currently 356 am I okay? I literally had one lecroy and I'm just like, yeah, I'm not okay actually But I didn't think that I would be saying there that long um because I really wanted that fashion portrait and uh I didn't even actually really know that there was food or snacks. So then I saw this walking out So I was like, okay cool. I could have eaten something way before that. Um But I got some skinny pop And then I saw these and I was like, oh my gosh Somebody just told me to try this flavor because I put these in one of my other vlogs. Um trying seaweed And this is the teriyaki flavor. So I'm very excited to try these And then literally when I got the goody back, I didn't really look inside of it But I just peeped and sitting right on top are my favorite sheet masks ever from rielle It's the tea tree one and it's like Just the best for hydrating your skin, which I feel like my skin has been very dry lately And then they had a lecroy booth. So got some lecroy and some lecroy merch I have no idea. Oh, it's in here. Okay. Let me show you that before I move on Um, I got this hat Little gene lecroy hat Super cute. Um Oh, I also took a photo with some of my new friends And I thought I got a shirt, but I don't know where that is Um, I got this little camera from the planoli Um Ooth little picture spot and I actually use planoli.

No, it got wet. Shit. This is so cute though. It's just like a create and cultivate notebook. Love that We have cashew coconut Super bites. We have a dietary supplement de stress aid It's funny because I always tell Ryan that I want to start taking melatonin gummies and he's like you do not need those Like you'll be dead because I just like actually have an issue with sleeping all the time. Um Like not during the day. Well, I like basically if we're in the car going somewhere I'm asleep if we're in the airplane I fall straight to sleep and I knock out for the whole airplane ride, which is a blessing Thank you god for making me that way because airplane rides like I get just so anxious um, okay This is a seed sprouting kit from Oh, maybe that's the company But that's cool I would love to have a little garden someday especially with herbs because I feel like I buy herbs and then they just Go bad so easily Um, so that kind of sucks, but what is this?

We have the mario bedescu spray I don't know why but this bag just got dirty all of a sudden. That's so odd Okay, we have uoma beauty Um drama bomb. So I'm guessing it's some kind of like a lip product That's gonna be fun to play with I'm telling you another pop socket more liqori Um, let's see what this is Something skincare.
