 Good morning everyone, welcome back to another vlog. I'm so excited to be vlogging today. I'm supposed to be going to HomeGoods, which is like the highlight of my day. And the owner of Lollipop wants me to come in and try a new drink. Drinking water with liquid IV. It is like the perfect gloomy morning. I think it's like 7.50. It's literally 8.30. We're on a much longer walk than I thought, I guess. Took the pups on a walk, all that stuff. I have a lot of computer work to do, so I'm just gonna get cozy on my couch. And I have all my fall candles burning, and get some work done. Guys, look at how beautiful this looks. And then also, this over here. Like, are you kidding me? Wow. I just made the most beautiful fall breakfast. Like, that just looks incredible. I made protein pancakes. And then, I cut some banana, cinnamon, syrup, looks so bomb. I'm actually hard boiling some eggs right now because I need to just have some on hand because I never get protein in the morning. It's 10.30. I just uploaded and finished editing an entire vlog. So I'm feeling good about that. I'm about to record some stuff for the podcast. I need to do intros, outros, ads, a little bit, a part of my solo episode for next week. This is the bonus. It's gonna be the book club episode, which is exciting, and just a few random things. So I need to get all of that done and sent in. I have been working all morning. I just finally heated up some of the lentil soup I made last night, and I put glaze on top of it, which just really makes it so incredible. So I'm having a little lunch break. I want my sister to call me back so we can go to home goods. It's afternoon. I just took a shower. For some reason, I've been doing like the day shower so much lately, but I finished my work for the day, and I've been waiting for my sister to literally wake up. It is like 2 p.m. to go to home goods. And she's not answering her phone. So at some point, I'm gonna have to leave about her. But I did want to film a first impressions of the COSAS tinted face oil. This is the packaging. I think it's really cute. Ignore my bedroom. I'm currently washing the sheets. Guys, I need to go to Flannel's places. Like, I remember when Flannel's really cool and high school. I feel my age, and then they became uncool, and everyone stopped writing them, and now they're back in. I wish I had like a Flannel tour at the top, but it's very fall. Also, her tip, always get the real techniques sponges. You can get four of these for $14, and one beauty blender is 20. And in my opinion, these are better than beauty blenders. Like, it's actually, you're being robbed. I do like beauty blenders a lot though. These are just more cost effective. Shake well before applying. I don't know if I'm supposed to even apply it with a sponge. Okay, it's like immediately, hold on. It was immediately absorbing into the sponge, so I wanted to like, not apply it straight onto the sponge. Should I be using a brush? Should I be using my fingers? I mean, I'd never really used my fingers, but. So it definitely, like even out my skin tone, and I already had an oil on, so this is gonna be really oily, so I'm definitely gonna have to go on with powder. It's like super natural looking. I feel like I would have to actually wear it for the day to see if I even like it, because I don't know. I'm just like breaking out. I'm finally getting masked, me. I really want my sister to go home with me, but we were supposed to go at 9 a.m., and she texted me at 6 a.m. that she hasn't slept, so then she's like, let's go this afternoon. And I just assumed she'd be up before 2 p.m. So my skin is very oily now. Definitely I should not apply the other oil that I normally just apply daily underneath it. Oh, we're gonna try the Beca Hydramus Satin Mist Powder, guys, I don't know if my Get Ready With Me is coming soon, so I tried out all of my new makeup. This powder is so weird because it's 50% water, which is like wild, but I just don't know if that's really gonna like help. But it's interesting, because when you put it on your face, and you definitely feel it, like it's definitely wet. Some people love this product, and then I've heard some not-so-great reviews. I don't know how I feel about it. Okay, so that made it look way less oily though. That did work. And the Marc Jacobs Bronzer. This packaging is just so beautiful, and they're such a big mirror. It's so crazy what bronzer will do. Like, you can't really tell with the lighting, but this is my current favorite lip gloss, just the twa, I would say twaar, the Tower 28 lip gloss. I actually, now that I'm applying the rest of my makeup, I really liked the Coase's stuff. Like, I think it's really cute. I'm just adding a little bit of blush. I already added highlight, but the dogs were barking so loud, so. All right, I'm gonna apply Hourglass Best Powder Ever. My De-Slick Setting Spray, this is really good for oily skin. Last mascara. I'm gonna get mascara on my eyes, guys. Art from LA Fox. This is from Narcosis Artella Rose. Guys, I'm so excited. I just got a new package from Recess. I shared these in blogs probably months ago, but nothing has ever helped my anxiety so much. Like, I'm not really a CBD gal. It's never really worked for me, but these drinks, I'm not kidding. Like, they're the best things ever happened to me. Take them midday when you're anxious, or like a midday anxiety slump. This is when these kill the game, or when you're winding down at night when you're cooking. Like, instead of doing the kombucha or wine, I'll do this, but I literally cannot express to you guys how much this has helped my anxiety. Like, they are the best drinks I'm not kidding to ever exist. Like, I just cannot express this enough to you guys. If you guys use, I think I've coded Kinsey 15, and then I'll have a link down below, so you can either use either the link or the code. You get 15% off. They are definitely a little bit pricier, but honestly guys, like, they are worth it. It is 1,000% worth it. About my sister, because who even knows where she is? So, I am on my way to Home Goods. I'm gonna have an afternoon to myself. I was gonna go to Lollaland, but I don't wanna go without her, so hopefully she can go tomorrow. Oh my gosh, I should get like an apple cider. That sounds so good. This is a five for me to myself, guys. Anyways, I wanna go to Home Goods because I've mentioned already that I really wanna replace the big print. Well, the print's in my kitchen with one big print, so I just wanna look and see. And then I saw a few things online. I just saw people's Instagram stories that I've been liking lately from Home Goods. So I just wanna see if there's anything good. Honestly, it's just a fall day. Home Goods just felt like the move. Oh, I'm listening to this getting confidential with Dom now, guys. She really, she's big time now. I don't like any of the prints, which I'm not shocked by, but I do have some good stuff so far. Great baskets, great pillows, which I actually have a hard time finding pillows here and a plant. You can't really see it. I don't even know where it's gonna go, but I actually like it. It's obviously fake, but I don't know. I actually like that, so I'll figure it out. Maybe like outside, honestly. I don't know, can you put fake parts outside? Anyways, I really like the texture of these. I thought this would be good. Either I'm gonna put the bigger ones on the couch or just the shorter one. We're all, I don't know, we'll see. Honestly, guys, this is a pretty successful Home Goods trip. I feel like I got a good amount of stuff and stuff that I really liked. Nothing that I just bought because it's from Home Goods in cheap, but I'm feeling confident, so I'll show you guys a haul. All right, guys, I'm back home. Oh, it's so cute. I'm gonna show you guys a little Home Goods haul. I forgot to actually show you this in the car. First thing I got is this. I thought it was super cute. It's very trendy, very in. Also, it was only $14.99, so I thought that was a really good deal. I'm gonna see stuff like this on Agent of Home and Zara Home in way more expensive places, but I just wanted to see how I would like it. I'm not sure if I'm gonna put it yet. Next thing I got is just this brown basket. This just reminds me of things that I had in my house growing up, but I just love grabbing baskets from them whenever I see one that I actually like because baskets are hard to come by. Okay, it's definitely a good basket goes a long way. This is something that I'll probably have for literally ever. Next thing I got is this fig plant. I really liked it. I'm really picky with pens. I mean, it's kind of messed up. I need to fix it. This one was $24.99. Compare it at $36. I don't know what we're comparing it to, but I liked the actual pot itself. I don't know where I'm gonna put this. It's not tall enough to be a ground plant, but I'm putting it here for now because I just can't be bothered with it. Got another basket that looks great. This one will probably stay in the living area because I desperately need a basket here. Honestly, the problem is that I'm crate training the dog, so I can't wait until they're done crate training. That'll be a long time from now. And I can have that space again because I know what I wanna do with it. But anyways, this is just gonna be a basket where I'll put some blankets. I wanna see, like, okay, I got some pillows, which I actually normally don't find pillows at home goods, but these are just so simple. How could I not like them? The big one was 20 and the smaller one was 20. So all three of these was $20 each, but I thought these were great. One, I might use them on my bed, but first I'm gonna try to see what I, I'm gonna try these out on the couch. I might split them up. I don't know, we'll see. So I'm gonna do that. Honestly, guys, I can't lie to you. I need to get ramen tonight. It's really becoming a problem. Wobby House is my favorite place ever. My phone on the charger and figure out what I wanna do with, like, the basket over here and these pillows. So I like the pillows. I might just keep this one here. Let's see what it looks like without these two, because these two will probably get on my bed with my bed. Yeah, I think I'm probably gonna keep it just like that. It looks so messy and messed up as of right now, but I'm just gonna keep these here because I'm currently washing my sheets, so I'm not even gonna bother with that yet. I need to cut off these little, like, raw florenne tags, like, that is not the vibe. But I'm glad I got them. I think they're just such great pillows. Cocoa Girl. I put that here, which I'll probably move this basket to the other side of the couch, so it's not as visible, and there's more room here anyways, just so we have more. But yeah, I feel like this is cozy, so I do like it. Cocoa. Oh, oh, do you wanna dance for us? Ooh. All right, guys. I'm now setting up my selfie stick, which I just, like, don't understand how this is supposed to work. Okay, great. So, that was easy. I'm already, I have a, so let's see. I wanna see the stores. Oh, whoa, there you go. I'm a little bit confused on, like, this part, but, like, we'll figure it out. All right, guys, my beautiful, I almost said sushi. My beautiful ramen has arrived. It is so good. I don't know how to pronounce this stuff. Guys, I just, I honestly don't know how to pronounce anything, so it's kind of embarrassing. But I give this to Keeman Ramen. It's only, like, $11. It is so bomb, and then it's Wabi House off Lower Greenville, and it is so good. My cousin tried it to me, and, like, I just can't stop eating it. It is just, and it's also the best thing to eat when it's cold and rainy out. Like, oh my. Good morning, guys. Is anyone else's dog, like, bringing their food with them everywhere? Let me know if you guys like all the pillows on here. I feel like it isn't as, like, modern with all these, and I feel like these are actually gonna go up on my bed. But maybe not the short one. I don't know. Maybe I'll go back, because I'm surprised. Anyways, I'm currently, it is 9.08 am, and Fitz has a vet appointment at 10. His very first one. Are you so excited? He doesn't know what the word means yet. Actually, we're going to the vet. Neither does Coco, and, like, she kind of knows, treat? Okay, that's mean. She doesn't know treat. Fitz doesn't know it yet. I don't know. I'm just really lucked out in that department. Dom is calling. Hello. I even vlogged with Fitz in the back seat. Wow, I'm a new woman. So I'm trying a new vet out that my friend recommended, because my vet, it's literally, like, $700 in appointment, pretty much. So, I mean, granted, Coco's had problems and blah, blah, blah, but, like, to get neutered at my place, it's, like, starting at $600, which I feel like is so absurd, because I don't remember it being that expensive for my other dogs, and I'm just, like, confused. I know, like, some places literally do it for, like, $35, which, like, I don't know if that's safe, but I'm just saying, I feel like $600 is a lot to start at, okay? So anyways, I'm going to this new place called Thrive Vet, and I'm trying to find a parking spot at Starbucks. Can I even, like, sit out? Guys, update, they were, like, super, super quick. Let's open this. I started reading The Good Fight by Janet Kramer. So, forgetting, like, so many different things, it was only $94, which normally a different vet. I feel like it's a lot more expensive than that. Obviously, I don't have, like, my records from last time. They said the fits is only 31 pounds, guys, and, like, I can't imagine him getting bigger. I feel like he's so big. My stepdad is convinced he's gonna be 90 pounds, and, like, I just don't see that, but his paws are huge. I mean, I'm totally fine. I think any bigger is not that I don't wanna get bigger. I just can't imagine it. I felt like, how is he only 31 pounds, guys? He's so big. Oh, update on the neutering in case any of you Dallas people need this information. So, right now, they have a, oh my God, this is the worst parking job I think I've ever done. Right now, there's a wait list for surgeries for them. I guess there's just, like, too many that are needed. Guys, he doesn't even seem mad. Fits, did you like that? I think Fits just likes attention, so. Oh my gosh. You're not even mad at me. I can't believe it. Wow, okay. I'm back home, and I'm still shocked that Fits is only 31 pounds, or 31 pounds. 41 sounds more reasonable. Anyways, I'm home. I have a recording at four, and then one at six tonight. The one at six is for the living room, and it's gonna be really cool. It's all in, like, reconciliation and all that. So, if you guys are interested, I have a faith-based Patreon where I do, like, podcasts on episodes, videos, devotions, Bible studies, all that stuff. And then today, at four, Maddie and I, Maddie from Okay Sis, are recording a book club episode, which I'm really excited for. We read the comeback. Anyways, I'm gonna clean up a little bit, figure out what I need to do, because I have people coming tonight to record, because my friends are coming over tonight to record, so I wanna make sure that my house, like, looks good. They haven't been over yet. Guys, my Dyson is not working, and yes, it's probably from falling. I do have a warranty on it, so I'm trying to figure it out, so I have to use the old, good old room, everyone. I'm back to life before my Dyson. It looks very, very gray, very dark. So, that's a wrap right now, apparently. I've been working in my house, and also, like, getting work done. I need to go record and ad read in the office really quick to send over to my producer for tomorrow's episode. I feel like I really don't, actually. I need to clean up this office, actually, is what I need to do. It took me two minutes. It was just kinda cluttered, but now my office is clean again. I definitely do plan on getting a different desk for here, and I need to still, you know, at what point will I fix these edges? You guys watched me back when I was in LA, and I showed the prints that were never framed. You know, that's the new version than this house, and also, like, those two prints have fallen, and I need to, like, tape them inside their frame, but I just haven't gotten around to it. So anyways, I do need a new desk, and I have a vision, but I'm curious as to what you guys think I should do. I just feel like this just doesn't work in this room anymore. It wasn't terribly expensive either, and, you know, a Facebook marketplace. I can always fix that. I love this chair so much. If you guys have ever wondered how podcast ads work, I don't think any of you have wondered, but I'm gonna tell you. So I'm with a network, I'm with Dear Media, which I am, like, literally the luckiest person in the entire world, the best network ever. They're so hard to sign with now, too, and I got in at the right time. Basically, my network will send me an email, like, hey, this brand wants to work with you, guess or no, what do you think? And depending on the brand, I'll say yes or no. I'll say no to a lot of them. They recently said no to a very high-paying deal. It was a five-figure deal, and I said no, because it didn't match with me. So, anyways, I'll say yes or no. Then they'll send me the official brand offer memo, then it'll be like, hey, this advertiser bought six ads on your show, and then I do six ad placements for them throughout my show. They send me an ad read. It's kind of more like radio when it's podcasted rather than, it's not fair to say radio, but it's definitely more scripted with podcasts than it is with YouTube videos. But honestly, I love the sponsors I get on my podcast. I feel like I've learned about so many new brands, and I actually love ads on podcasts. Like, I feel like I just learned so much in general. Like, that's how I originally even learned about liquid IV, and it's like changed my life. So, anyways, I'm doing one for Rory right now, which is actually really cool. Listen to the podcast if you guys want, like, an online skin consultant service. Like, it's really, really cool. All right, so I just recorded the ad, and I just want to say it's so cool. So, I'm just gonna share it with you guys here, because like, why not? I mean, this is not sponsored, but it is Rory, which is hellaroory.com slash I love you, and you can try out your personal instrument for just $5. You get a free consultation and $5 for your first order. Basically, Rory is a digital health clinic just for women that can help treat all your skin care concerns from breakouts to redness. So, if you guys listen to the podcast, you guys get really good deals and stuff like that too, but I just am so excited about the sponsor because it's such a cool thing, and I know that skin care is something that can really affect confidence levels. It hits the soul sometimes, you know what I mean? When you have, oh, what is happening? So anyways, I'm importing that, and then what I do is I get all my files together, which mine are already all together. I normally send this in earlier, but Taylor accidentally sent me a Zoom link for this. I don't know, we have like a whole spreadsheet, but there was like something wrong, and he was texting this morning, like no, Taylor, you literally sent me a Zoom link. Like it doesn't, that's not it. If you guys, guys, who misses Taylor in the vlogs and all my podcasts, which is my producer? If you guys listen to the Skinny Confidential, it's the same Taylor. So I think I have found the art piece that I want to replace my prints with in my kitchen. However, it doesn't ship until December, and I don't have patience, but this is kind of perfect. Oh yes, these have had a long, fun ride, but here's the thing guys, I've had them in houses for like two years, and I want to bring them down to the den. I'm not getting rid of them, but I do want this to be a little bit more mature, especially as I'm gonna be doing my kitchen, if my contractor ever gets back to me, guys. I feel like it's an ongoing joke of being an adult, which I've realized is that like your contractor is like, what is ghostio? And you're like, wait, what? I'm being a true adult. I have my tape measure, and I'm gonna see if I like the size. So width is 44. Okay, here to here. Very, very exciting after you break. I've just been editing some stuff. I'm just doing a lot of miscellaneous stuff today, but I got a revolve haul, or a revolve package in the mail. So I'm gonna do a revolve haul for you guys, which I'm really excited for. I could have sworn this came with a matching top. All right, order the matching top, but I guess I must not have. So whatever, these pants look so comfy. They're from Lovers and Friends. I got like all fall clothing. So we have so many sweaters in this haul, but they just look so freaking soft and comfortable. I have shared my struggle with just pants in general. Like I feel like I can shop for anything and know what I want, but with pants, I always struggle and then I only like jeans and blah, blah, blah, whatever. I got this sweater, which I thought was just like a good everyday sweater. This is House of Harlow. I'll have everything linked down below. The quality is just like next level. And I'm just like so excited for this stuff. I got this stuff, which I'm definitely gonna change into right now. These pants and the top are so comfortable. They're from Major L. I believe that's how you say it. I got all this in a size small, by the way. So soft, so cute, so comfy. We love this. I'm literally gonna change into it right after and then here's the matching top. So this is what I will be wearing because it is fall, people. This top is so fun. I'm considering actually shooting it tomorrow for my podcast cover, but like how fun is this top guys? It wraps up. There's just these fun sleeves. They're actually really in this fall, but I just thought this was so fun and I like cannot wait to wear it. Okay, I also love this. So anything collared kind of like polo looking is really in Lauren. Literally I died when I watched Lauren's video and she's like a lot of, she's like a bunch of bloggers like learn how to play tennis over COVID or like started shooting that way and now we all dress like tennis players, which is very true. But I think this is so cute even with just my hair up like this. I love the buttons. I think it's so fun. And I'm pretty picky when it comes to like collared things like this. And I feel like for me, it has to just have something else to it or else I just don't like the look on me. I don't know, maybe I haven't tried it out enough, but I really, really love this top. It's from Song of Style. You know what? Song of Style is my favorite brand on Revolve because that's where I get everything that I like die over. Okay, got another sweater. So comfy, so easy to just throw on. I feel like I'm so set for the fall. Like guys, I'm really just thriving over this. I got this sweater, which is just a big like kind of mock neck sweater cropped. So it's still like flattering if I wear it with jeans. Love that. Last thing I got is like, let's say I got this definitely is a little bit more out there. We've got some shoulder action going on right here. But I still think it'll be super fun, especially with like boots and stuff. I have a pair of boots I got off Jeffery Campbell coming I think this week. And I'm so excited to share them with you guys because they are so in for the fall. I'm actually going to do a whole like styling TikTok and style like Instagram reel and stuff with them because I just know that they're going to be so in and I can throw the cutest boots ever. I got a pair of flip-flops from Ray, which you may be like, Kenzie, why'd you get flip-flops when it's fall and you don't even like flip-flops? Here's the thing, flip-flops are very in and there is a chance it's going to be warmer in Texas at some points, even though I'm just training my mind to say no, it won't be because it's been chilly. Okay, but I'm not a big flip-flop person, but I got these because I actually don't mind these and I'll see if I like them. I don't know. They also threw this in for me. It is the Fairy Godmother Shimmering Body Oil Gel from Sunday Riley, which I'm really excited to try. I love Sunday Riley, it is pricey. I am not going to lie to you. Look at my hand with myself tanning. It's like, oh, whoa, guys. This also I feel like blurs out your skin. Whoa, this is amazing. I don't know if you can even tell on camera. Wow, like can you see the difference? I don't know, it's a bad, it's really bad because of my hands right now. Oh, also I got a package from Luminow. I recorded a podcast with these incredible people of weeks ago about how the microbiomic effects like mental health and all the stuff and how bad the products are that we put in our mouth. Like guys, you need to listen to this episode because I was mind blown. Anyways, he was just telling me about all of his products and they sent them over to me and I'm really, really excited to actually get a chance to try them out. We have the whitening toothpaste. He says that his whitening strips like don't even leave you feeling sensitive and that they're like next level. So I really want to try these because I definitely need some whitening strips. By the way, I did order the art print and that will be here mid-December. I'm teaching myself patience. And then this is the whitening mouthwash. So I just did this set on and it is so comfortable guys. Like I cannot wait to wear this all day. I'm literally cooking, recording a book club podcast. Like this is 40, you know what I mean? You're gonna have to link down below. You actually get this in caviar but the stuff transfers. I get a lot of picnic chicken tacos but I have so many recordings and things like that. Honestly, I just ordered lunch today because I just have things to do and I'm just gonna hurry up. Our actual digest video. Actually I'm not watching it. I have it on the background. I'll pause it. I'm gonna record with Maddie in 13 minutes. So I guess I'll ask her what she wants to do. Do you want to do zoom or FaceTime? Everyone, the house feels amazing. It feels like fall. My friends are coming over. We're about to record. Update, this set is the most comfortable thing I've ever worn. So set everything up on the kitchen table just so we have like more room I think. I'm hoping Coco doesn't make a noise. Problems and challenges. Not just in relationships but in any area of our lives are what grow us and how we see fruit in our life and whether that's a running a business and you've started something from scratch and now you're facing challenges and payments and contracts and clients and all this stuff that is difficult and there are moments then where you're gonna wanna quit and be like I'd rather just go work for somebody that already has it figured out and but the fruit of sticking that out and coming on the other side is worth it if there's freedom in your job and financial peace and all of these things that could come with doing something like that the same way in a relationship as we are facing these issues and these problems and these challenges together we are uncovering more of who each other are and that is where we're really able to I think see out what God's called us to do together. All right guys, that is it for today's video. I am just so grateful for my house. I wanna say, I feel like my home is like truly a home and I just feel so safe here and so comfy and like truly at home and I feel like when you move out when you're younger you like know what that means when you're just rambling but when you move out when you're younger you know what that means because I feel like it takes a while before you have a space that like starts to feel like actual home again. Anyways, I just recorded with my friends. It was so good. It's gonna be on the living room. I'm just like so excited for this. Like it was such a good episode. I'm actually gonna edit it right now. I have my fire going. I just took fits out and I think I'm gonna make some water. Make some water. Why do I say it like that? I don't know. But I love you guys so much. Hope you guys enjoyed this vlog and I will talk to you guys soon. Bye.
