Tink x Jhene x Sza Goofy OTW (A JayBeatz MashUp)
With what you going through to be I want to be down with You you just want good morning guys and happy New Year we are in 2024 can you believe it I am just so happy to be back in Atlanta I spent 2 weeks celebrating the holidays with my family and my boyfriend’s family and it just feels good to be back in my home
And back on my regular routine sometimes you know traveling it can take a lot out of you so I am just so excited to get get my day started and be more proactive and super productive today I have a lot of things to do as
Far as restocking the home so I woke up around 7:30 and I was really ready to hop back in the bed but I said you know what it’s a new year and I woke up for a reason I woke up early for a reason so I am going
To take advantage of this quiet morning I decided to go to the gym my boyfriend was still sleeping so I let him sleep in while I went downstairs to our complex gym having a gym in my complex is just so convenient because I couldn’t imagine getting out of bed and having that cold
Air smack my face before I go to the gym so I’m just so grateful to have that in my complex um I haven’t been to the gym in a long time so I feel a bit weak and I have noticed bodily changes and I
Am not Ling it so I had to you know reintroduce the weights in the gym and I had to go a little lighter than usual but nonetheless I am happy to be back y’all my man is so sweet like he just made me breakfast it is so
Cute so freaking cute I love the way he does his avocado toast got my ber smoothie and these glasses in place they’re just so cute like I have to show y’all like look at the detail don’t play with him we got our berry smoothie with our Glass Straw oh let me taste
It he made it exactly how I would make it I don’t like a lot of salt I don’t like when things are too sweet I don’t like when things are just too much of anything so he made it just perfect egg cook to Perfection I don’t like any raw nothing cook my
Fully like when I was eating meat before and I would get a steak or something I would need it Well Done why would you ever put something that’s not fully cooked on my in front of me at a restaurant Crazy Why I’m not cuz I want hurt nobody get it Call if you [Applause] got come always [Applause] Try to come back when I always want you Got I don’t know about y’all but going to the gym early in the morning does something for my spirit I just feel motivated to accomplish everything in sight so I just decided before before I go and run all my errands outside let me tackle the inside chores first because I
Would hate to come home after grocery shopping and know that I have so much to do so I just decided to unload my suitcase from the holiday and take care of all my laundry so I was so excited to clean this kitchen because I got some new dish
Wear and can y’all tell I’m getting to my grown age because why does that excite me but like if you’re anything like me just having things look aesthetically pleasing just makes things way more enjoyable I was so sick and tired of my mix match bowls and plates nothing
Correlated and I was just sick of it so I hopped on Amazon and I grabbed me a few things to help organize my cabinets so I got these wooden um plate dividers and it is super super cute and it helps just store your plates in a more
Aesthetic way and I got a plate set a bowl set pasta bowls all the nine and I just love the rib detailing on the side of these plates because what so freaking cute and I love the depth of each plate and bowl and then I got these cute glasses and this Glass
Straw and it’s just it’s going to make eating so much much fun y’all so as y’all can see I’m over here making pickles I’m going to show you how I make my pickle recipe later in this video so just keep watching right now I’m just handling the first step which I will
Tell y’all about later in the video but I am about to get ready to head out and go grocery shopping wo y’all no SU damn my need ass I forgot y’all I just got back to Atlanta like yesterday was it yesterday no 2 days ago I was in
Maryland for like two whole weeks and that was not the plan I’m so happy to be back in my home I know Maryland’s my home home but like Atlanta’s my new home and I love being in my own space yeah it’s been a minute like I feel like
I need to catch y’all up um with my life what’s going on I wish I would have brought my car mount with me so I could talk to Y while I drive but um while my car warms up I guess I’ll chitty chat chat life is so different now you know God
Never does things to harm his children you know what I’m saying he does things out of love and of course he teaches us lessons but those lessons are meant to help grow us and help Propel us forward so anytime things arise in my life I really don’t question it that much of
Course Being Human you know you question it like why like why is this happening what is this like what’s the reason for this but a lot of times I often just say thank you God like thank you so much for you know doing your will for keeping
Your hand on me I love the fact that God always keeps his hand on me and guides me through this life um I’ve been saying that since a young like God keep your hand on me as y’all probably already know I’m out of my previous relationship
Which I know a lot of people wanted to know um they’re like girl who is the new B and I realized like I don’t want to expose too much of that part of my life because when I expose y’all to that person you know and then things arise
It’s like now y’all asking questions what’s going on so I just feel like certain things just need to be kept private because I don’t know y’all personally and y’all don’t know me personally so it’s just like certain things I will be keeping private from now on and I hope
Y’all understand that it’s a new year I’m very excited for this new year the real New Year is in March and that’s when I feel like I’m at my Bloom I’m starting to like come out of hibernation and things are starting to like come into fruition my vision boards be coming
To life it be blowing my mind and I was supposed to teach y’all how I make my digital vision boards I just have been on the go holiday season I’m in a relationship and we’re both from so like we’ve been just going back home he’s a
Huge like he has a really huge family so like they do a lot of things for the holidays so I kind of had to go home normally I probably wouldn’t go home but you know it’s nice seeing my family nice hanging out with them my mom’s birthday
And my little sister’s birthday are like a couple days after Christmas so it was really nice to see everybody and spend the New Year there even though that wasn’t my plan but I’ve also been like really really busy so that’s why I couldn’t do vlogmas because I was just
Like bro I feel all over the place and all my plans I planed to be home to record certain content it just didn’t work out and you know I don’t really I don’t do too much when things don’t work out I just be like okay cool it’s not
Working out it’s not working out it was just not meant to be I’ll try again next year I’m moving different and like I kind of already move in silence but I feel like I talk to myself a lot I talk talk talk talk talk like oh yeah yeah
Yeah we going to do this we going to do this but instead of talking to myself I’m just going to do it like I’m just going to be like cool this on your mind let’s get to it like this morning I probably would have stayed in the bed until a good 9 10:30
A.m. and finally got my day started but I woke up for a reason and it was to get my ass in that gym and get my day started and be proactive and I feel more productive when I get up early and I tend to the
Things that I need to tend to um but yeah so anyways I’m about to go grocery shopping I have a couple things I need to grab for the home groceries yeah I need to get back to eating right you know my man he’s not vegan but he tries to eat vegan since we
Live together um but being at his parents’ house nobody’s vegan nobody’s eating clean so I was really like struggling to find stuff I had brought my own fruits and stuff but girl that ain’t enough and Marilyn vegan food is so trash now that I moved to Atlanta but also Atlanta vegan food is
Kind of trash now that I’ve seen all the vegan options that Cali has to offer and I want to start cooking again you know I feel like having a chef man it really like freaking made me not cook so I I kind of rely on him to make meals but I
Also love to cook you know I love to make things from scratch and before he was in my life I was cooking a lot I was making a lot of stuff um like making my own milk making my own sauces for pasta just just trying a bunch of different
Stuff but um yeah so that’s something that I want to get back into um so yeah let’s go to the store I’m done Chitchatting And my man is out right now so he can’t even help me bring the groceries in like he usually do so I’mma have to freak this and maybe leave a few things for him to go back and get I don’t think I can take all of this with me I got water
I got I got paper towels like all big stuff that’s not going to fit in their little cart Yes All right y’all this is about to be a whole mission but he just pulled up I just saw him so I’m going ask him to come help me with these groceries I’m finally back and forgot I needed to go to the hair store today so I got to go back
Outside you can help me [Applause] men right got my walnuts I’m going to make Walnut milk today yeah I’m going to always get my walnuts From the Farmer Market I was paying like $10 for the same amount in this is $4 oh I’m so excited to make some pickles oh my god dude
This is a snack bag really got some spudy sweet potato cups grainfree sea salt Satilla [Applause] chips Ginger Snaps theill Wafers for his French toast oh am I supposed to tell your secret no I don’t care oh I have a whole recipe some chocolate granola and some berries for
Smoothies this is ghetto why is it um I thought we were collecting them what the SM these that aren’t that have fruit what no that’s peanut butter and like that oh have to make these who want water down out who doesn’t it’s not going to be water down
Just like that damn grape juice is water no it’s not that’s why right all right y’all so I found this organic cultured coconut plant-based probiotic yogurt and I got it at Sprouts if you’re wondering I like that they don’t have like hella ingredients in there it’s pretty clean ingredients the only
Thing that’s probably not alkaline is the cassava I like the unsweetened one not going to lie I just put a little bit of my granola on top of there with some honey or some Agave amazing and got my me mocos creamy um cream cheese only thing if you’re alkaline you probably wouldn’t
Like this because it has cashews in it yeah oh also got some dark chocolate because I plan on making some date bark got some guavas Here yeah I miss Jamaica we was just picking guava’s fresh off the tree and I’m about to wash all of These every second every and I S you up Up all right y’all so I am making homemade pickles I already pre cut my pickles yesterday and I soaked them in salt water um sea salt water you can soak them for up to 3 hours I did mine for I don’t even know how long maybe like 12 15
Hours and they have so much flavor already I’m about to make the um vinegar juice that’s going to go in here white vinegar apple cider vinegar some sugar and some sea salt and then you’re also going to need water so I’m going to heat
That up on a pan and and yeah let’s make these pickles Y’all and then you just want to make sure that the salt and the sugar are dissolved all the way through I’mma use garlic powder onion powder and pickling spices I’m going to do a half teaspoon of the pickling spices I might do just a little and I’m going to do a
Teaspoon maybe I should just do a half teaspoon do a half teaspoon of garlic cuz I don’t really eat garlic but he does so yeah and then I’m going to do half teaspoon of onion powder I’m going to add a little bit more and then I’m going to add my fresh
Dill so I’m going to trim that in there I got my fresh dill freshly washed okay and I’ll come back once the mixture is done Cooling and then I’ll be pouring it over the pickles well the Cucumbers you up your girlfriend and in that little B range I heard that she
Want to go party all right here we have our pickles and the vinegar and our seasonings get that a quick little Shake I’m going try to keep it in there for 3 weeks cuz normally when I make pickles I’ll keep it in there for like maybe 4 days before I start eating
It so I’mma keep this in here for 3 weeks if it’s arrives all right I’m going to wrap my Dill up so I can put it in the fridge I’m using plastic wrap o let me show yall what I’m doing here so you want to wrap it really [Applause]
Tightly and then this end you will leave kind of like that but then this end you will tie off and then from this end you can peel back the plastic chop as much as you need and yeah so there is my deal so as y’all can see I store
My you know vegetables and stuff in water and then this is my parsley I never did this but I want to see if this will help keep my parsley fresh longer so I have water under here and then I just have this glass jar um covering the top normally people
Will say like put a plastic bag Loosely over it but I just don’t like plastic really in my fridge so here’s the fridge I’m going to start at the top top so we have some eggs because he loves to eat eggs sometimes I’ll eat some um we

Carrots but I was sick and I asked my boo to make make me some chicken noodle soup and I forgot to tell him no carrots but whatever um yeah so Tomatoes we have some roma tomatoes and some bell peppers oh and if you guys didn’t know when your bell peppers have
Four um I don’t know if it’s just four or if it’s even numbers but if your bell pepper has four it is a female bell pepper and that means is going to be sweeter if it has three that means it’s a male bell pepper and it’s going to be
A lot less sweet just something for you all to know and then here’s the fruits we have a lot of apples pears nectarines back here um yeah and then along here is just more hair products that I haven’t bottled yet some sea moss tahini um liquid iron and just some you
Know other little condiments so now I am about to make my hemp milk and my Walnut milk um both are packed with lots of protein fiber um and walnuts are good for the brain hempies are just really nutritious and the and I just like making it from home because I know what
I’m putting in there and yeah I just know that it’s fresh but a brand that I do love is Elmhurst it only contains two ingredients which is amazing um 10 out of 10 recommend but um yeah I have a tutorial on how I make my
Own hemp seed Walnut milk all of that on my Instagram I will link it down below if you’re Interested All right guys I just got a Amazon package and it was like my shipping boxes for my hair products and hold on and like a over the sink dryer thingy my Bob so like just lay it on the rack I also got this um like scrubber set so it’s like an electric
One so you don’t got to do no type of manual labor when it comes to scrubbing a tub well I wouldn’t say no type of manual labor but less manual labor yeah I think that’s super clutch because your girl is tired of breaking her back and also not being able ble to
Reach the very top tiles I got this little rack which is perfection and I’m just going to organize my plates so I added the little pasta bowls and as I can see I got my spices right right here I need to find a better organization method for my spices
