 Hey guys, what's up? It's Kinsey and welcome back to my channel. Today's video is very exciting. I'm doing a nice little Get Ready With Me video, a nice chit chat video. I wanted to kind of sit down and do my makeup while I catch you guys up on some stuff because I haven't really done so since moving to this house. This is also a very exciting video though because it is sponsored by American Eagle. This is really cool. My boyfriend's Instagram used to be like AEKid, something, whatever. So he's really pumped for me, but yeah, I'm going to show you guys a little haul at the beginning. I am so impressed by the pieces that I got. I'm absolutely obsessed with them. I'm already wearing something and I've been wearing this. I actually spilled coffee on it, so like please forgive me. That's what I literally did in the video you guys will see. But yeah, this stuff is so soft. It's so freaking comfortable and cozy and cute and that's like my style as you guys know. So I'll have everything looked down below and I'm going to quickly show you guys a few pieces and how they fit and how they like wear and all that. And then we're going to get to the get ready with me. So if you guys haven't already subscribed, follow my Instagram, all that stuff. Love you guys and let's get started. Okay, coffee. The first thing that I got from American Eagle is this that I'm wearing. I wish that you guys could feel this through the camera because it is so freaking soft. Okay guys, here is the Krunak. I absolutely love this thing. It is actually the most comfortable thing ever. It's cool too because you can kind of dress it up like you know, I say like I tuck it in jeans and I dress it up but it is really cute. I love this look and oversized Krunak look, big hoops. I'm surprised I'm wearing mine right now. Oh my gosh, I will also have the sizes that I'm wearing in the description box as well. Like I'm going to show you guys everything and I'm obsessed with everything but this is my favorite thing that I got of course because it's like basic and really simple and comfy. I'll show you the other two tops that I got. I'm actually going to wear one of them today. I haven't decided which but they're unbelievably soft. I've really been into this color lately. I'm kind of getting into more like beiges, browns, neutrals. So it's just like nice. Would this be a mock neck? Okay, this cow neck obsessed. This is like the prettiest warm brown color. I'm really into this color. It's like a camel but like, I don't know. Would this be a camel color? Anyways, I love a good Krunak. These are so freaking soft and so cozy. Love this. Then we have this one that's so freaking cute too. And basically these are just like in my opinion like really comfy Krunaks that are like a little bit more dressed up so you can wear them out and about and like you feel like you're put together and ready. Okay, I'm obsessed with this one and the color. Again, it's just so cozy. If you were someone who likes cozy clothes but you went all the way you tried harder, this is good. This would even be cute for class especially because it's so comfy but it feels like you're wearing like a hoodie style. But anyways, super cute. I got this in a size small because I wanted it to be a little bit more fitting. But I think it would be really cute even in like an XL. If you want it super oversized, I kind of want it oversized as well. I decided when I was picking out these pieces that I really wanted a flannel. I have not worn a flannel since probably my sophomore year of high school. So here is the flannel. I got it in a size XL. This just reminds me of bonfires. I used to go to bonfire, sophomore year of high school all the time and I would always wear a flannel. So yeah, it's super cute. It's really comfy and just cozy. So if you guys didn't know, American Eagle has sizes up to 24. So they have jeans for everyone. They also have even more sizes and links available online, which is really cool. So you can basically get the perfect fitted jean because there's so many size options that's like perfectly tailored to your body. Also, I think there's no American Eagle. It's all about real. So their mission is to enable self-expression and individuality. It's really cool though because their A&E campaign is just like real kids out styling their own clothes and taking photos. So it's like really cool. They have some new jeans for spring. So anyways, I'm going to show you guys my jeans that I picked out. I got the mom jean. I love these because they look like they are these really expensive jeans that I wear and they are way better priced. Okay, so these are the jeans. They fit me perfectly and they are so soft. My thing with jeans is that I hate them feeling like stiff, but they're really flexible and really comfortable. I believe they're going to size six. I have my phone in my back pocket. I like the wash too. So yeah, these are really, really cute. I'm definitely going to need a lot of use out of these. And this one is the 90s boyfriend, which I love because I love the cut here. Alright guys, I have now found my favorite pair of denim legit ever. These are so, so cute and they are the best price for a pair of jeans like this and so comfy like way comfier than any of the more expensive brands. But I think they're so cute. I love the fit. I got these in a size six and like they're definitely big on the waist so I probably should have gone down a size. I just think that they're so cute. I think they're going to be, oh my gosh, I'm just thinking about if I wear this with a belt and then I wear cowboy boots with the under. That's what I think about with everything. Like it is so freaking cute. Okay, so that being said, let's get started with the get ready with me. I have not rolled my face or anything. I literally just got out of bed. So good morning. I'm heading off to a meeting very soon. So I need to get ready. And I wanted to do a little chit-chat get ready with me guys. Oh my gosh, I can't speak. I'm literally so tired. So I'm heading off to a meeting soon. I wanted to do a little chit-chat get ready with me video for you guys. This is my first video that I filmed at my new house, which is exciting. Other good vlogs, obviously. I asked you guys what you guys wanted me to talk about on my Instagram. So if you guys aren't following me there, be sure to follow me. But I have this makeup bag. It's the base. Is that how you say a base? Base. Base. I don't know. Anyways, it's Shanmichael's travel line. Really great bag. I'm going to prep my face. This is my favorite primer, but I'm really running low. And I need to go to office before after my meeting. And I'm pretty sure it's right at West Village in Uptown. So I think I'll be able to do it. The first question is how are you liking Texas? And how are you missing LA? So I wasn't filming this since February 12th. And I moved here on February 2nd. I mean, I still have my place in LA. And I'll still be there pretty often. Honestly, I'm hoping I'm only there every other month. But it'll probably be a little bit more than that. I don't know. Honestly, I can't give you a solid answer in my life at all right now. Also, please ignore this salt hair. It's more tragic for me than this for you. I literally washed my hand. I have no idea how this happened. I love it. Like Janine's stuff. I asked her that and I was telling her. And I was like, honestly, I thought the move was going to be more of a transition for me. I know that I'm from here. But I don't know. I know that I'm supposed to be here. And I love Dallas. People here now are like, okay, it's so freaking cool. But it's really underrated. It's literally the coolest city ever. And I'm just so glad. Even if I wasn't from here, I'd want to live here. So that's what's cool. And as far as missing LA goes, I love LA. And LA will probably be a big part of my life for the rest of my life. But I don't know. I'm just so happy here. I haven't even really had time like there's never been. I haven't had a second where I like genuinely like, oh my gosh, I wish I was in LA. Like at all. So, yeah. I'm doing one pump of CC cream with my favorite super brush. Okay. How do you stay so positive? You're constantly busy. How do you avoid mental breakdowns? And that's all it says. I don't know where. And keeping motivation. They're separate. Okay. I honestly kind of go crazy if I'm not busy. So that's why the past like week of me just like moving and stuff where like my main thing was moving and I wanted to do other things. But like I couldn't because it was dependent on other people. I actually went crazy then. I prefer a busy schedule. I like that better. Also, I'm just, I think the more I have going on, the more aware I am of that. And like the more I take care of myself like right now I've been way more lenient. Like I've been working out at nights and stuff which I don't like just because I don't want to wake up super early but like I miss waking up super early. So I know like tomorrow I'm going to go to a 6.30 class and I'll be hooked and then go back to that. But like the busier I am, the more like obviously I don't, I don't mean like, okay. I don't know how to phrase this because obviously the busier you are, the more you have to do. But like the busier I am, the more efficient I am and everything. So I just like, I don't know, I really like thrive off of it. But I also really implement like rest days. So like Saturdays I don't work. Sundays I'm at church like pretty much all day. But yeah. So I just make sure I'm taking breaks and taking care of myself I think during that time. That is like a really big priority for me. Okay, next one. How did you decide on your apartment aesthetic, possible tips for saving while decorating? Honestly, I feel like it kind of came together as I was shopping. I knew I wanted to kind of like a certain look like thicker furniture with acrylic accents. And I always like graze the browns kind of came into it. And then it all just like ends up coming together. So my color scheme is more like warm browns, um, gray, black and white. And then with that I have a lot of like accents of acrylic. I think the rest of my candles are actually coming in this week. Hopefully, or at least like two more of them. I ordered so many from my centerpiece. Honestly, a lot of it was just because my mom's a material designer. So like I've always been into this stuff. And I just have like always kind of like looked at stuff and be like, oh, I like that. I like that. As far as it like really comes together, I think it really started whenever I was shopping at CB2 and we found my couch. I found this one photo. I'll show you guys on the screen at the kitchen that I wrote the breakfast stuff that I was absolutely obsessed with. And I'm not even a big marble person. Like at all. Like I don't, I'm kind of personally like it's just not my thing. I like it subtly in small doses, but I'm not like this huge marble gal, you know. And they had the coolest table and I was obsessed with it. And then I was like, oh my gosh, this is so expensive. Like you can't have spent $3,000 on the table. So then I actually posted in the Facebook group and someone, one of you guys sent me that table from CB2. And you're like, this is kind of similar. It's a third of the price. And like, yeah, it was definitely still expensive for a table. But I was like, I love this. So that was like a big thing. And then we found Maddie and Quinton helped me find my couch at CB2. It all just kind of came together. I was looking for pieces, but I did find certain photos in the beginning that I liked. This one was a little bit less curated than others. I just had known in my head exactly what I wanted for a while. That made sense. Normally I would make a mood board though. The best way to make mood boards is gomoodboard.com or something. And you just upload photos, which is the best place. I don't really like Pinterest for some reason. Like I don't know why I have that experience with Pinterest. So anyways, I'm using my favorite palette to bronze out my cheeks. I'm going to be really honest with you guys. You're probably going to be shocked. I'm so off my morning routine in the past few weeks. Like I wake up at 8, which isn't really late for me. Just from the routine that I've been doing lately. I barely worked out in the morning. I feel off. I don't feel great. I wish I was going to go to work out this morning. And then I moved to sleep tonight because I stayed up until like 2 or 3 last night. My sleep schedule is so off. So tomorrow I'm doing a 6.30 workout. Not so great. Also my frequentinic works a lot. And the only time I see him is in the morning. Because my schedule has been lenient with moving, I think that's also been like, oh I might as well just like whatever. But don't happen anymore because my morning routine really completely changes my day and I need a number one. So that is the plan as of right now. Coffee break everyone. What to do when you feel down and feeling lonely from working alone slash at home? I think I go through phases where working from home is like a pretty hard thing. And then working from home I'm like oh I love it, I love it. Look at how I look like the girl from another Cinderella story or whatever. The mom. She's like type passing everything. This girl. That's literally what it looks like. Okay anyways, I think the biggest way is how you start your day. So if a morning routine is really important, getting out of the house. I can't stress that enough. If you work from home, get out of the house in the morning you need to. So like go on a run, go work outside of your house, go do something. Because that genuinely makes the biggest difference. Sometimes if you need to go work at a coffee shop, go work at a coffee shop. That helps even though I have an office in my house. But honestly I'm in a place right now like since 2020 started honestly I don't want to say I'm an anti-social but I've been like really loving just spending time on my own. You know. So with that I think it's actually been a lot easier for me. I've kind of been driving because I've been loving spending time alone. But there are days when like the worst thing is when it's like sunny out and it's a three like the 3 p.m. midday slump. And you're just like oh my gosh I'm really not feeling life right now. Like I feel like I've been like so crazy working here. Like I can't focus. That is like the worst thing in the world. What I've learned is that you are going to get nothing done during that hour. So like go do something else and then come back to it. Or if you can. Or just work out or like go on a walk or something. Like something. Oh! I threw all my brushes down. Something I want to do living here is I just want to walk like that time. Like walk over then. And then go from there. But yeah it's hard. I can make a whole video on like what to do during your midday slump. Stuff like that. I don't know. Next question. You've got to be kidding me. You've literally got to be kidding me. You've actually got to be kidding me. Guys why did I do that? I literally have to show you this. I'm so mad at myself. I'm like actually so mad at myself. I have my setting spray. This is the best setting spray. Because it's so even. Watch this. Wow. It's not just that I signed. Watch. I'm going to use this mascara. Oh I hate doing my mascara. I literally hate it. If you guys are Dallas and you know good eyelash extensions. I've loved that you can do it since nine. I'll do a lot of this every day. And I need eyelash extensions. Then I will literally never do my makeup. There was another question that I totally forgot. Okay real talk. How do you move on from friendships that you thought would last? This is really hard. This is something that I've definitely dealt with for sure. I think I'm also someone who I'm very online and everything that I do. So if I'm like your friend and I'm your friend. I feel like every single friend of mine would be like a best friend. Like I'm that kind of person. But sometimes I think friendships really aren't meant to be forever. Which kind of sucks because I'm also like very loyal. And like I don't really mean that in the best way possible. I mean that when I should move on from something you know. It's hard for me to leave it. So I think it's really hard. But I think you just have to recognize that like sometimes friendships are just for like a certain time. And also sometimes friendships just go through phases. And maybe you're in a phase where it's a little more distant. And then you will like come back together. Like trust me like this is something that honestly I went through like very recently. Not super too recently but yeah it's hard. And I think it's just knowing like okay maybe we're not supposed to be like BFFs right now. That doesn't mean that we're not going to be like close down the road. I still love them and respect them and like it's totally fine. But just like staying sweet with everything that I think is like the best thing you can do. And then yeah it's pretty much all I got for you. And even if the friendship isn't going to come around. So like a boob ring effect. Okay that doesn't make sense. Just like staying sweet with people and understanding that like sometimes things happen that like you are going to understand. And like things that genuinely do you believe work out for the best even if they suck at the time. So like you just have to trust the process. Because you probably don't know something you know what I mean. Okay oh 2020 goals that wasn't the answer. Okay something for this channel I really want to like. I'm not really someone who's like a big subscriber goal kind of person. I would love to find me hit 40000 because I've been at this like account for literally like two or three years. But that would be great. But yeah honestly I just want to be like more engaged with you guys and have like an even better community. I feel like we've really created that on a Facebook group. And like I love you guys so much on the Instagram and like it's just so fun. I think my podcast Instagram too is cool because you guys have been able to make content for it. So it's been so awesome to like really help you guys like build a platform to also build other people's platforms. It's been really cool. Um so yeah that I really want to make better videos. Like every single week I want to have one like sit down video that's like edited better. Or my vlogs be ended better too. But I just want like one sit down video a week that isn't a vlog that's just like better produced. So yeah I'm working on that. I made a lot of lists of stuff. Um and yeah I'm really excited but there we go. I don't know if I'm going to put a lip gloss on. I feel like I have to. You know what I'm saying? Okay this is maybe going to make me sound absolutely crazy. But like you know how you have bad hair days. Like do you ever have like bad lip days? Does this make sense to where like your lips just don't look like they normally look? I probably sound insane. But my lips lately have just been like I swear smaller than lately and like a different color. Like there's just something odd about that. I don't even know. I hope I'm not alone. We'll see but I love this lip gloss. It's literally the best. Okay perfect. Okay so this is my makeup look. It's really soft, simple, kind of dewy. Um it's just like a really easy like natural-ish looking makeup routine. Nothing too crazy. Oh my gosh the lighting here was so much better. I can just prop you guys up here next time. Oh my gosh that's so much better. The olives are my bathroom. I think I have a little fuse because I can't use it right now. But you know what do you do? Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed today's video. Let me know if you guys did by giving it a thumbs up. Subscribe if you guys are new here. I've linked all the American Equal clothing down below. I'm so mad. I spilled coffee on this because I literally am going to live in this. I have been wearing it so much since I opened the package. Like Quintin came home and was like that is so freaking soft. And I'm like it's American Eagle. But yeah I'm so excited. I love you guys so much and I'll talk to you guys soon. Bye.
