welcome to another Vlog we’ve got our
coffee and we are at Lowe’s picking out
some hanging plants because we have this
little like shepherd’s hook if you will
and I want to uh get some to hang on
there they never survive when we get
them so I’m hoping uh to water them
appropriately this year and I was
reading some of the like T and trying to
see cuz it’s full sun where we have it
um so obviously making sure we get full
sun ones but also making sure that we
fertilize it appropriately so I want to
get some today so that I can start it
strong these are some that we’re looking
at that look so beautiful and I love the
potet in and there is a certain
happiness to going to like a garden
center on a Sunday when it’s just so
nice out oh Tyler and the girls are here
too by the way but they everything was
so packed in they were like just moving
to an open area little Dum dumb suckers
are keeping them happy while we try to
pick these out quickly okay this is the
other one I’m thinking about I think it
would look really pretty with the pink
and it has the same container too okay I
think I’m realizing we might not if
we’re getting the bigger one that pink
one I showed I think getting two of
those it’s too big and I remember last
year they were kind of crowded on the
same Shepherd hook so I think we might
just get one bigger one see if I can
keep that alive all right here are the
two we’re going to try to we’re going to
see um
here they both are okay they totally fit
so I’m glad we got both because they’re
so pretty together I was kind of looking
most of them are patunas like a version
of patunas there’s another I think it’s
like I’m going to say it wrong caliber
choa that’s going to grow that I think
just hasn’t oh there’s there’s a few
right there isn’t that so cute um and
then these kind of leafy plants and then
these are mostly just different versions
of patunas as well so just really pretty
and I was reading about it I think what
I’ve done wrong in the past is I didn’t
water them as much as they needed to be
and like I said I also got some like
flour fertilizer flower food whatever
you want to call it so hopefully we’ll
be able to keep these puppies alive
longer this year and they look so pretty
and we actually had this closer to here
and I think that was the issue last year
it was the shepherd’s hook was like
right there and so this was literally up
in the flowers and it was kind of I
don’t know it just it didn’t look
intentional cuz it wasn’t
so this seems so much better and it just
makes me so happy seeing all this color
out here this buddy boy is living his
best life are you loving this weather
buddy yes you are yes you are what a
good boy mhm look at that tail future
Jesse popping in to say thank you to
thrive market for sponsoring a part of
this video so it’s another day I am
getting ready for the day and I’m
putting on the pharmacy lip smoothie we
are deep in allergy season baby and my
poor nose I’m also getting over a sinus
infection I literally have my ocy in
right here um that sinus infection you
guys lasted like 14 days and I kept wait
I didn’t even go to the doctor cuz I
thought okay I’ve had sinus infections
before like half the time they get
better on their own I don’t want to have
to use antibiotics if I don’t have to
you
know anyway long story short I waited
way too long and it never got better so
I finally got on antibiotics and it’s
helping now I’ve just got like the
allergy symptoms So my poor nose is so
red from blowing it so much I’ve also
been doing a ton of like sinus rinses
which helps so much anyway so I am about
to do my hair just going to show you
like what I do most days to my hair I
just tried a new tool and I did not like
it at
all let me show you what it is it’s the
main it’s giving body medium hot round
okay hot round brush it doesn’t close on
the ends it does what it’s supposed to
do like it would kind of this is what I
did to my hair yesterday so it it kind
of straightened it and I do think it did
a decent job of that but it just made my
hair look very blah like it wasn’t as
straight as a straightener would be and
so I felt like I could see a place where
this would be in my routine of getting
ready but I didn’t think I would use it
enough or any more than I would use
other tools that are similar so I think
I’m going to return it I don’t even even
know I need to look and see if you’re
allowed to with hair tools but I just
didn’t like it I was I told myself I’m
just going to keep it and like just keep
trying I’m like no because this is what
I always do and then I end up with a
hair tool I don’t like or use so I guess
if I can’t return it I might I don’t
know pass it on to a sister or something
anyhow so what I’ve been typically doing
is dry shampooing my hair I mean
depending on the day I guess and then I
use my T3 like interchangeable just a
curling wand I don’t think you have have
this one I’m not even sure every time I
go to link this cuz it has like bigger
wands and it’s hot I better not touch it
you can interchange it the only ones I
can see that they sell now are the ones
that have the clamp which I don’t
typically use so it’s not super helpful
but this is one of those hair tools that
I feel like can make my hair look
shinier than maybe it is the main tool I
feel like made my hair look really dull
but this is one that even just using it
like this so one thing I’ve been doing I
know I showed in a vlog a few months ago
was this where it kind of gives you more
of like the Bendy hair look see what I
mean where it’s a little undone and not
like it literally just has the bend
almost just in the center and it can
look really really cool especially if
you have shorter hair I think it looks
even better but most days I’ve either
been doing that or just leaving it be
but for a short amount of time so that
it again still looks kind of undone and
I have gotten so fast at this cuz I’ll
get larger amounts of hair cuz again I’m
not it doesn’t need to look perfect or
like super curled I just want it to look
like I intended like I actually did my
hair that day you know what I mean so
that’s what we’re going to do especially
on the lower parts I feel like I’m
pretty sloppy with it because I can
focus a little more of the time on the
top part that you actually see a little
bit more so I’ll get like okay that’s
maybe a little too two different maybe
that was too big of a chunk but this is
my best YouTube watching time you know
like this is what I’m actually watching
videos although right now I guess I’m
just chatting with you guys also
remember when I was doing Pure Bar a
couple times and so I signed up for like
their plan of like four classes a month
which I was like that’s doable like once
a week well then we traveled and we have
some summer travel coming up and I kept
meaning to call and be like hey can we
cancel this for the next mon like what
does that look like I need to call and
it’s just one of those calls that I
don’t really feel like making I’ve
already paid for this next month so I
want to try to use the classes up but I
think I’m realizing I’ve been trying to
lean more into strength training and I I
feel like I’ve been bopping around for
years literally for years like I love to
run that’s something I’ve always done I
love to do like dance workouts so all of
that for cardio but I’m realizing I lean
so heavily bar is not cardio well it can
be depending on the class but generally
it’s not my point is I really have been
leaning into more like using weights and
doing more straight training and I was
thinking back to when I was probably my
strongest and it like the I felt the
best and it was when I was more
regularly either going to the gym and
doing weights and machines there or
doing it at home and so I was like you
know what I’m going to start doing that
so I started doing some research into it
and again take everything I’m saying
with a grain OFA okay I don’t know what
I’m talking about and everyone’s body
reacts differently to different workouts
or whatever but I’m like I just want to
incorporate more strength into my
routine maybe lean more heavily on that
than I do on running and the nice thing
about that is I’m already seeing results
like quickly and I think that’s what’s
crazy and I don’t mean weight like I
don’t think I’ve lost any weight that’s
not necessarily my goal I just want to
feel stronger I want to feel better in
the clothing that I love and already
just incorporating more strength things
I’m noticing that my pants fit better my
shorts are fitting better I just feel
like that’s what has been missing and
bar can give me that like it does have
that component for sure but I I don’t
know I enjoyed it and I think I could
see myself doing it from time to time
but I don’t know that right now it’s
just so hard to commit to anything every
week right now with young kids it’s just
really hard and especially looking like
staring down summer coming up too where
like I said we’ve got some travel and
just wanting to enjoy our summer
together um and not wanting to have
things scheduled that don’t have to be
scheduled so I’m definitely going to
cancel the bar all of that to say and
then maybe in the future like once fall
starts back up maybe I’ll try to do it
again I need to see if they have like an
option can I just go when I want to go
and not like just pay per class so I’m
going to when I call the cancel and do
the dreaded phone call I’m going to ask
like in the future can I just come and
pay I know it’s a little pricier to do
it per class but I’d rather have that
freedom and not feel locked in
especially since bar is harder than you
would ever think it really is like I
have to have the like gumption to like
be ready to do it whereas strength
training it can still be a crazy good
workout but I don’t ever really need the
energy behind it cuz you end up you just
start it’s a little more slow moving
typically and then I’m into it and then
I’m I’m good to go for 45 minutes or an
hour whereas with running or anything
else you really do have to have that
like energy built up to like actually
get started on it anyway did any of that
make any sense see that’s too I went too
curly kind of like straighten it a
little bit went too
curly anyway that’s the haps that’s the
information you didn’t ask for but you
got about what I’m doing I did get some
DMS asking like are you still doing bar
um so I need to get that figured out I
also I’m looking at my contacts are
almost out and I don’t think I can order
more I think my it’s been over a year
since my last eye appointment so I need
to make an eye appointment and order
more contacts I switched to Dailies a
while ago and oh my gosh so my thing is
I don’t wear contacts every day I need
contacts like for distance but like when
I’m around the house like generally I
don’t feel like I have to have them in
and also I like to wear my glasses so I
try to get my eyes a break so I don’t
wear contacts all the time is my point
dailies have been perfect and I’m really
glad my optometrist kind of guided me
that way because I felt like no like I
don’t need I don’t want to have to throw
it away every day like that seems crazy
to me but in doing it like allergy
seasoned to not have to keep using the
same contacts incredible they’re always
fresh like I would notice because I have
drier eyes even with the most
moisturizing uh contacts after like a
week of wearing the same ones they just
would be so dry and be like is it
flipped inside out do I have it in wrong
and it would just be that they’re
already getting older and so having
dailies and just having a fresh pair
whenever it is that you’re wearing them
has been so so incredible so I was
pretty against the idea of it for a
while and I finally kind of just gave it
a try my atom just gave me like a two we
Supply just to try and I was like okay
I’m a changed woman I don’t I don’t know
if it’s ideal if you wear contacts every
day like but if you’re wearing them like
only a couple times a week I feel like
it’s kind of perfect cuz then your
contacts like you you’ve got monthly
contacts they’re not just like sitting
in the liquid for days at a time until
you use them again anyway all right so
that’s generally how I do my hair it’ll
fall a little bit but not too much more
I’ve also realized I haven’t been using
a lot of hairspray lately and I’m saying
that before it gets humid here so I
probably will start to but really in the
spring and fall and even winter I don’t
really find myself reaching for it cuz I
don’t feel like I need it my hair
naturally gets pretty oily quickly and
um yeah so I just I don’t know I need to
get my booty and gear here our house is
feeling very messy see the laundry is
not tooo bad for once in my life so that
is great but I just feel like there’s so
many little things everywhere that needs
to be cleaned up and uh I need to tackle
that so I wanted to share a couple
things I’m loving right now I’m
absolutely loving this in Beauty mineral
Sunglow SPF 43 it’s glowy without being
overly glowy I’m telling you I cannot
stop using this if you saw my um Disney
get ready with me and like the makeup I
typically do when we go this was an
absolute Champion I got absolutely no
sun on my face the only place I would
get it is my nose cuz again I was
blowing my nose so much it was
impossible to keep reapply like I kept
trying to reapply sunscreen and it just
my poor nosy I promise I’ll stop talking
about it’s it’s just like really been a
big part of my last few weeks of my life
okay but I absolutely love this highly
recommend um another one I like that is
a little bit cheaper I will link below
that’s similar that I I love as well I
wanted to bring this up I saw Jamie
pagee Beauty I’ll link her Channel she
was using this and I have toggled with
decluttering this for so long it’s the
makeup forever HD skin palette it’s like
they’re all in one face palette and I
watched her use this and I was like okay
I am using that all wrong it looked so
beautiful so I’ve I’ve played with it a
little bit the past few days uh she was
using all fluffier brushes to achieve
all of these looks and I typically would
just be using all my normal like cream
bronzer blushes so I think for
Foundation if I were to mix trying to
like get an idea of what would be a good
yeah those two so I’m just going to kind
of get and I wanted to make sure I had a
good moisturized base on but it can end
up looking really really pretty and I’ll
show you this obviously this lighting is
a little wonky but I’ll show you in
natural lighting what this ends up
looking like she mentioned that you know
if you’re using this and you’re using
all the different products and it’s
going to mesh really well together
because they’re all basically the same
formula so the bronze and the blush is
going to blend in really nicely with the
foundation if you’re using all of it my
that’s a really good point so still
trying to go at it like hard like calm
down just just lightly pretend you’re a
makeup artist fluff fluff fluff fluff
fluff fluff fluff and then I’m just
using my sponge cuz I just have to I
feel like it always makes things look
even better when I use my sponge now I
don’t know Foundation wise that I would
want to do this every day because for
the look it’s achieving it’s really
pretty but it’s not like any better than
something that’s maybe a little easier
to apply where I’m not having to mix it
the other thing you could do honestly
I’m going to try that is get like a
little bit on your hand of the two or
whatever you’re mixing and literally
like mix them together and then I could
use that you are so smart so then I
could just kind of might even be too
much I’m applying something my nose as
if it’s not going to be worn off in like
5 Seconds yeah that is not ideal on a
very dry nose so I definitely think with
this if you have somewhat dry skin you
need a really moisturized base but it’s
just kind of fun if you already had it
maybe try it this way I don’t know that
you need to buy this if you don’t
already have it although if you like the
idea of playing makeup artist you might
enjoy yeah fluffy brushes all the way
and maybe a sponge to clean it up yeah
I’m not loving it on my nose so we’ll go
back in with the bronzer and blush here
in a moment I’m just going to put on
I’ve been playing with the new SE uh
slip tint concealer and you’ve need very
little I’ve notice and what I’ve been
doing is kind of taking it and blending
it just in the areas I want with that
one dot and then letting it sit and get
tacky for like 30 seconds I recently got
some new clothes I’m really liking and
I’m going to show you like a try- on
haul of it here later in this Vlog if
you’re interested I feel like it can be
really hard like okay other than like
jeans and a jean shorts and a tank top
like what do you wear in the summer and
so my goal was to try to find like what
are some outfit and like cute ideas of
things that are actually cuter than just
a you know you know jean shorts in a
tank for the summer that’s still cool
enough to wear but that like I said just
looks a little bit more I don’t know
just cuter this concealer is still too
new to me to like know how I feel I
think I’m liking it what I’ve done I I
definitely like it best with my finger
and this is not going to be something
that’s going to give you like crazy
coverage but I’m enjoying it I’m going
to withhold how I feel just yet cuz I’m
I’m just still not sure but yeah so I’m
excited to show you some of the stuff
cuz I think you’re going to like some
some of is from Amazon some from Target
just kind of a mixed bag this shirt I’m
pretty sure I got from Lulu’s when I was
ordering those wedding dresses wedding
dresses no you know what I mean wedding
guest dresses for Italy oh my gosh I’m
so excited you guys so excited so
anxious we’re taking the girls and we’ve
got it’s it’s a family wedding we’re
going to have a bunch of family with us
so it it it eases the stress a lot but
nonetheless like there’s just that
little bit of anxiety of like we’ve done
this before we took Genevie when she was
younger it went well like they have
every people raise kids everywhere and
they have everything a kid would need in
any country you know what I mean and
that’s what I always remind myself of
when I get a little bit nervous like oh
what if we need Tylenol or would you
know which please I’d be bringing
Tylenol but you know what I mean I’ve
also been using this Maybelline single
shadow in linen I recently hauled in my
Vlog where I did like a CVS drugstore
haul and this has been so great for just
like a single shadow that just kind of
blanks it out almost like a powder
concealer in a way and then I’ll just do
a little bit of liner and mess mascara
so anyway my point is I got this shirt
from Lulu’s when I ordered those dresses
I am by the way going to go with I’m
pretty sure the dark green dress I
showed in that video I got some like
Spanx actually I think the I think it’s
skims brand that I just ordered that I
think will make me feel a little bit
more confident and comfortable in the
dress well I don’t know that it’ll be
more comfortable but but that was kind
of the only piece of that dress that I
was like it’s a little more snug there
than I want but it was too late to um
take it to like to return it my point is
I think that’s the one I’m going to go
with and I just love that dress so much
so that might be the final piece of the
puzzle I don’t know how well this is
going to pick up I don’t like the way
that makeup forever stuff looks on my
skin I think right now I am battling way
too much dry skin that it’s just not
looking good I literally might get a
makeup wipe and remove everything but
the eye makeup and just redo with a BB
cream BB creams hold my hand or skin
tints whatever basically the same thing
is those hold my hand when I have really
bad dry skin because they are the only
things that can look halfway decent on
my skin whereas if I’m going in with a
foundation it almost always never looks
good you know what I mean so I want to
share grocery haul from Thrive market
and Thrive Market is very kindly
sponsoring this part of the video so
thank you so much so Thrive Market is an
online membership based grocery store
they have everything you need for
organic maybe slightly healthier options
for snacks Pantry items food I buy so
much from the them every month and we
have so many Staples that I used to
spend more on at the regular store that
I’m saving so much money on things we’re
repurchasing every month anyway olive
oil coffee snacks for the kids little
applesauce pouches like all of those
things add up on today’s order alone I
saved I think it was like over $40 this
is definitely the most I’ve ever saved
and it’s an awesome time to join Thrive
Market because right now you can get 30%
off your first order and a free gift
worth up to $60
plus you’ll get extra savings because
they are currently running a huge sale
on bars and snacks and a lot of what I’m
about to show you are a part of that
sale so you’d get even more savings on
top of that I love it I’ve gotten so
many of my friends and families to
become members of thrip market and they
love it too so let me show you what I
got some of our favorite like what I’m
going to call healthy snack swaps like
things that when I’m craving something
salty this fits the bill and it is so
much better for me than delicious
delicious potato chips okay hey nothing
wrong with eating potato chips from time
to time but you know what I mean uh
these are the bienna chickpea snacks
this is The Rock and Ranch flavor I’m
actually going to open these because
I’ve tried their Himalayan pink salt and
that’s my favorite and that’s definitely
Tyler’s favorite but I wanted to try
these so they’re literally just
chickpeas oh these are so good they’re
so dry though like when you eat these
chickp snacks you need water next to you
at all times but these would be amazing
on a salad as well totally like the
ranch I think I like this better than
the regular pink salt but they’re both
really good well you guys know my deep
deep love for these These are the
Heavenly hunks oatmeal chocolate chip
little squares they are so delicious oh
my gosh the oatmeal chocolate chips my
favorite the peanut butter ones are are
good these are better also I know the
lighting is yet again weird it is a dark
straight up dark rainy day you can kind
of see it through the front door there
it is so dark so I’m like this is the
brightest I can get it here with no
other lighting anyway I also just
recently learned it says to refriger
after
opening I did not know that now I do um
we also have been buying from Thrive
their good pop organic freezer pops for
for the girls but also for us they have
no added sugar 100% fruit juice and
listen it’s summertime we’re going to be
eating popsicles daily it’s just a part
of it for us to have ones that are
definitely better for you than the ones
I typically buy at the store is really
nice okay when I mentioned this on my
Instagram story I people you y’all were
excited and so was I did you know that
902 quinoa was the thing because I’ve
been using 90c rice in a pinch for quick
lunches like that and some like chicken
breast or whatever yeah 90 second quinoa
is a thing and it is amazing oh I’m
sorry this is 60c quinoa even better I
think I’ve been heating this for 90
seconds without even realizing so um
yeah highly recommend it’s hard to find
in stores you can definitely get it
obviously on Thrive so we usually
usually throw a few of these in and we
just have them at work to use anytime we
want we have some here too something I
buy a lot for the girls are these
Brainiac brain squeezers they’re little
applesauce pouches but they have so much
good in them there’s Omega-3s choline
vitamin C easy to throw in the diaper
bag you know I just we are a fan and the
girls really like them too I’ll eat
those as well I mean they’re they’re
just good I also got this oh I don’t
think I realized it was gluten-free it’s
a banana muffin and bread mix maybe I’ll
make it my mom’s supposed to be here I
think tomorrow maybe I’ll make it when
Che here but it’s almond and coconut
flowers I feel like gluten-free mixes
honestly tend to be a lot more moist
anyway so probably going to be delicious
I might add some chocolate chips to this
make them even more delicious so the
girls have been really into Pirates
Booty you know that snack you either
know or you don’t so I wanted to swap it
and switch it up a little bit they want
that like crunchy salty snack so I got
these cauliflower stalks these are
absolutely delicious I would kill this
whole bag but I know the girls will like
it too I hope they will speaking of the
girls a little Annie’s Easy Mac if you
will always nice in a pinch and even
like we’ll have friends with their kids
over and it’s nice to just be able to
whip something up for them if they’re
not wanting the food we’re having you
know also got a ginormous thing of
organic pumpkin seeds we put these in
salads as well um and this is big I feel
like it’s hard to find larger bags of
nuts and seeds but Thrive usually has a
really good selection of course coffee I
mean come on this is the Good Sam
Columbia medium roast I again I must
have been ordering this when I was Ultra
tired because I didn’t get whole bean
and I definitely meant to but um we can
still use it in our we can use ground
coffee in our machine of course too
we’re just used to we’re just so snobby
I’m just kidding this coffee looks
really really good though so I’m excited
to give it a try olive oil always and
forever will be a part of our order and
I haven’t bought these in a while these
are the good crisp sour cream and onion
chips let’s go and open these bad boys I
always film this around l time and I’m
hungry they are truly like
Pringles so good oh my gosh the cheddar
ones are really good too M I’m really
excited about this next thing we have
really I’ve talked about how we’ve
really cut back on drinking a ton unless
we’re like having it’s a special
occasion or we’re with friends whatever
and having a barbecue and enjoying a
glass of something but like at home in
the evenings we’re we’re just not and so
we wanted something that you can kind of
sip on that has the vibe of you know you
could put it in a wine glass so we’ve
done kombucha and things like that and
we love that but I have fallen in love
with these kin euphorics different cans
so they are functional beverages so
they’ve got like I’m just going to show
you what it has in it okay but it’s all
these things where it’s like meant to be
kind of more relaxing so you do kind of
feel a little bit of that relaxation
that you might get from let’s say a
glass of wine but without the alcohol so
my favorite for sure is this one we’ve
already opened it we had some the other
night actually it was during the day and
it was so nice it was like afternoon and
we were like let’s open some of those
and pour them over ice in a wine glass
and it was amazing so the kin Bloom is
my favorite I think we’ve tried them all
from this brand now um this I’ve never
tried this is their get your glow actual
Sunshine ones they also have like
nighttime ones and then they also have
ones with caffeine but I don’t typically
want something like that the first half
of the day so the caffeine ones I know
Tyler’s drink some but I haven’t really
ened enjoyed much but that is everything
I got this time around one other thing
we love about Thrive Market is that
orders over $49 ship for free no tipping
no extra fees like think about when you
order groceries a lot of times there’s
all those things there is none of that
so as long as you hit that $49 threshold
you’re not paying for shipping or fees
or tipping so it is really really nice
and you’re making those savings again
like I said I saved over like $40 on
this order and I love that you can sort
it by different Lifestyles or ways of
eating whether you’re looking for
gluten-free paleo non- GMO organic low
fod map keto gluten-free did I already
say that there you can organize it by so
many different things you guys it is
incredible so they have two different
membership options you can do the
monthly one which is $12 a month or you
can do the annual one which breaks down
to $5 a month that’s the one we’ve been
doing for years I pay for my own
membership on my own it is 100% worth it
if they ever stop sponsoring me I would
still be using Thrive market like I’ve
been using it for so long I think I
would really it would hurt to go to the
store and buy a lot of these things for
the higher price knowing that I could
have gotten a cheaper on Thrive Market
you know anyway thank you so much Thrive
Market in addition to that 30% discount
Thrive is also running that sale on bars
and snacks which like I said a lot of
the things I showed in today’s haul are
a part of that sale so you get even more
savings all you have to do is go to
thrivemarket.com
jesic brw I will have that link down in
the description box I’ve got it on the
screen and I’ll have it in a pinned
comment for you if you’ve been hearing
me talk about it for years it’s time I
promise you love it I also really love
their customer service I have to say I
reached out to them recently for
something and they were on it so quickly
like via the chat they solv my problem
super fast and I was just really
impressed with that and I feel like that
can be hard to find so just another
little what is it feather in the cap
feather in the cap of Thrive Market okay
okay I need to get this food away I need
to eat some actual lunch I’m probably
going to have some of these chips on the
side it has been a minute since I’ve had
these it’s literally just getting
closeup
um for obviously the haul you just saw
and I realized that this one has
caffeine the sunshine one but this one
is gently caffeinated so only 33 so like
in the afternoon that I can get behind
so I’m definitely going to try that one
[Music]
[Music]
okay dinner time I’m making this recipe
that I don’t think I’ve made in the
video forgive me if I have I’ll link it
below it’s Spanish chickpeas with eggs
the recipe itself calls for you to like
actually poach the eggs and do all this
stuff no I’m making OV easy eggs on the
side which is what we’ve done and then
you just put it on top of the chickpeas
so I’m really just using the recipe for
the chickpea portion it is so good we
have made this every other week since
discovering it and it is super easy it’s
basically just like onions and garlic
fried in oil and then you add tomato
sauce and
chickpeas what am I missing oh and
paprika and cumin that’s pretty much it
all in a pan cook it it’s done make the
eggs it is so good it makes really good
leftovers as well also I used my little
chopper for the garlic cuz it called for
like 12 cloves and this was amazing oh
my gosh Game Changer I feel like this is
a lot of onion like maybe too much I
know we instead of it too small what
Tyler was just saying you probably can’t
hear him is that we ended up doing what
one large right I had him cut up the
onion cuz he’s just faster on it it’s
like one of my least desirable things to
do in the kitchen is cutting up onion I
don’t know what it is well I mean I know
what it is but it’s just awful all right
cumin and paprika’s in there to mix it
quickly and then just add the tomato
sauce and the chickpeas that’s it and
then let her cook it’s so so simple like
literally other than cutting up onion
which if you really wanted to be lazy
you can buy the prec cut up onion and
then like I minced real garlic but of
course you could just use the minced
garlic Frozen cubes or Min regular
minced garlic whatever you don’t need me
to tell you that I’m sure you know but
just on my mind lot of chickpeas which I
love 40 oz which is like three basically
three cans is what I used I’m telling
you you’re going to look at this and be
like that looks okay it tastes better
than You’ think and I don’t really like
tomato based sauces a lot like it’s not
something I typically would order in a
restaurant it’s not my favorite like
even spaghetti and meatballs like I’ve
never really been a huge fan but this is
so good so even if you’re not a red
sauce fan I think you’d probably still
like it all right it is done you got the
chickpeas under there the runny eggs
absolutely delicious and like I said
makes awesome leftovers um Okay Tyler
and I were experimenting with I’ll link
this like set below with vacuum sealing
our avocados um this has been in there
for what would you say like 4 or 5 days
and good as new I cannot believe it
worked today is the day we’re going to
run some errands get some stuff done for
half the day and then work half the day
basically so I need to actually get I’m
starving so I’m like manhandling this
banana so the dress that I am wearing to
that family wedding this summer I need
to get altered I’m loving it I’ll link
the one I ended up going with I I really
do love it and I’m wearing shoes that
I’ve had forever so I’m bringing the
shoes to the alterations place I was
trying to find a good place I don’t
remember where I went a few years ago
when I needed to get something altered
boy reviews like if you ever go on Yelp
or anywhere to look at reviews for
alterations place every single one is
incredibly mixed some people are very
happy with the job someone did and very
upset about so I’m like the one that had
the most good reviews I think that’s
where I’m going fingers are crossed
really it just needs to be shortened and
maybe let out a little bit if possible
I’m fine with it the way it is but it
would be it would be nice to have it let
out just a little bit so we’re going to
see we have like 4 weeks or so so it
should be more than enough time to get
it back I feel like on most of the
reviews they were saying it was usually
like a week maybe two turn around I also
have a ginormous bag of book I can’t
even lift it high enough you guys books
to return all kids books all very very
overdue I have a few boxes to send off
for various reasons I think that’s
everything it’s not even going to take
that long like none of these things are
going to take that long but it’s just
enough various things I’m going to be
very excited when I’ve gotten all of
this
done let’s go alterations done they were
so lovely so hopefully they do really
good work um but what was really nice is
the dress it’s a little more fitted than
I feel like I want you know what I mean
and but I I also like the way it looks
on me so it’s kind of just one of those
things that I’m like well I would be
more comfortable so I was asking the
alterations person I was like okay
obviously shorter so we kind of landed
on a length where I could still walk um
but it was still a long gown and then I
was like do you think I should take it
out a little bit like you know and they
were like no I think it looks wor I’m
like
okay so and I feel like it would have
behooved them for me to ask them to take
it out cuz in theory I would assume they
would charge me more so I’m just going
to take their opinion I’m also going to
have like shapewear on that’s like
slightly comfortable I just ordered a
new one I want to try because I don’t
feel like I I don’t want the shapewear
that’s so tight you can’t breathe and I
don’t feel that that’s necessary with
this dress either I just want ones that
feel smooth but that I can still breathe
in so I just ordered a pair that had
really good reviews I’ll have to get
back to you guys if you’re interested I
have definitely realized with shapewear
that if you get the kind that are like
have a what like a brief cut almost like
a like you’re wearing a bathing suit on
the bottom and then they come up those
for me don’t work cuz then I’ve got
other problems like it’s squeezing too
hard so I have to get the kind that if
I’m going to wear it which is once in a
blue moon I really just don’t wear
shapewear I just don’t have dresses that
I would need it do you know what I mean
but my point is what am I even talking
about how did we get on this subject
this deeply I’m sorry you guys but I
realized I like the kind that go down
into more like shorts because then
they’re not cutting me where I wouldn’t
want to be cut do you know what I’m
saying okay some of you guys are like I
totally get it some of you guys are like
what are you even talking about so I’d
ordered some like platform
sandals from DSW and I need to return
them so I just going to bring them in
store to return them and I want to try
some on because I there has to exist
like I have plenty I have sandals that
are comfortable like that’s not the
issue I shouldn’t say plenty but I have
sandals that are comfortable but what I
want for our upcoming trip slash just
this summer are sandals that are like
white or tan like really simple but that
are like a little bit platform cuz I
feel like that makes it so that you can
dress it up dress it down it’s cute with
dresses with anything but I need them to
be comfortable and all of the ones I’ve
tried it feels like the entire bottom is
like a board that you’re walking on and
there’s no give to like flex your foot
to walk comfortably so I’m going to try
some on here I usually have pretty good
luck at DW fingers are crossed I
actually got the shoes I’m wearing right
now here at DW I can link them below
look at these like they feel like Crocs
they’re super lightweight but they’re
like the Birkenstock slide things that’s
interesting okay these aren’t like the
flat flat form if you will type sandal
these are more like espad drils or
wedges kind of cute though okay love the
idea of getting these in like white if
they had them where they’re like the
stretchy crazy comfy shoe but they look
like the low Converse that is pretty
cool I don’t see white though I will say
some of my favorite shoes I’ve ever
owned are New Balances they’re not these
but they look similar they’re so comfy
and really good for travel cuz they’re
just I don’t know they’re like lowkey
but super comfy and they match a lot I
wore those when we went to Egypt and
they were perfect I think I wore them
literally every day okay I don’t like
this style like this at all but this is
the kind of shoe I want where there’s a
little bit of like G so you can like
walk in them I just want it like plain
white is that boring okay if they had
these I’ve had these sandals but like
the without the I’m going to call it a
platform it’s barely a platform in white
before I think I’ve even had the brown
if they had this in white that might be
perfect cuz it’s not too dressy like
some of them are cute but they’re a
little too heal H okay these are really
cute from Tom’s and they’re pretty comfy
but I don’t know if they’re comfy enough
you know these are the ones that I loved
that I just returned though cuz they
really felt like I was walking on a
giant brick okay these are like
metallicy ones very comfy oh my gosh not
right for what I need but very
comfortable okay these are wildly
comfortable and they’re kind of
different I feel like you could wear it
with shorts or a dress h
okay this kind of like sandal flap
hybrid is coming back in style and I
have to say I kind of love it I’m sure
some of you guys are like okay granny I
love it okay I might go this route
instead they’re cute they’re comfy so
instead of a sandly one this is kind of
sandly but it’s super super comfortable
to walk in well I ended up getting
Felicity a new pair of tennis shoes that
girl’s feet are growing like a weed so
we got these cute little
Sketchers I like that they were really
lightweight she has like thicker feet
like I don’t know how to explain it
shoes that’ll fit Genevie just fine
Felicity they certain ones even tennis
shoes are like literally too tight
height-wise does that make sense so
these seem like the type of shoes she
should fit in the only two I got the
only two please the two shoes I got were
these ones again I’ll link these below
if you’re interested in them these were
so comfortable I feel like they are
going to match everything this summer I
can wear them to some of the wedding
festivities
as well um just perfect for that and
they’ll match anything and then I got
these shoes that I just feel like are so
cool right now and again these were
super comfy they’re sandal flat I don’t
even know they make me think of in the
9s the chairs we had at our kitchen
table growing up had this like same
thing the mesh in the back and it makes
me so happy but again super comfy those
might end up coming on some of our trips
with us because again they’ match
everything they’re not totally open toes
sometimes that can be weird like if
you’re walking around a city in sandals
your toes get so dirty and it grosses me
out so something like this is like a
little bit better but it’s still summery
and cool so it was a good I’m glad I
went because I’m really thrilled with
those but I still unless I go with those
more white flats I still don’t feel like
I have that pair for the dressy white
sandal whatever you want to call it
wedge Asad dril platform sandal okay
I’ve talked enough about this I need to
go okay as promised earlier in the Vlog
I wanted to share some new like spring
and summer pieces and outfits I’ve
bought recently that I really really
liked I was going to I’ve already
explained it earlier kind of what I was
looking for so okay first thing I’ll
show you it on me right now is this
two-piece outfit from Amazon I loved
this purple color and it’s this is so
flowy and loose in the best way the only
thing I was thinking was I was like okay
and I’m like literally looking at the
try on clip so I can remember cuz I
haven’t worn this worn this yet the
pants were the best part the shirt I
feel like in the wrong angle can kind of
look just like blah and so a with like a
really cute necklace that could be cool
but also with like a white button down
that’s really lightweight tied at the
waist it could be really pretty jean
jacket would be cute but I also feel
like these purple pants with just a
simple white top could be really cute
very very comfortable this was one of
those outfit sets that they sell a bunch
of colors of I will put the actual size
I got cuz I I remembered sizing up if I
remember right just because these kinds
of outfits on Amazon I just feel like
you always need to size up so loved it
though it was very very comfortable
obviously these I’m showing you right
here are super wrinkly so here is this
other two-piece outfit it’s like this
rose color I actually already own this
in dark gray I’ve never gotten more
questions and compliments on an outfit
when I’ve worn it out and about and I’m
like oh my gosh it’s one of those like
less expensive outfits that they sell in
every single color so what’s cute about
it and I don’t know if I showed it in
the closeup was the back of it has
buttons down the back I don’t think the
buttons actually even work but it’s just
a cute little detail definitely
definitely size up because the shirt
itself is cropped and even though you’re
pulling the pants up I mean you do
whatever you want to do but I definitely
have felt that sizing up for those is
the move and I do feel like they shrink
a little bit in the water wash that
first time so just something to keep in
mind but I loved the pink I will
probably end up bringing this on the
trip with me these white shorts from
Target I now have this in a few colors
these are the most perfect stretchy and
comfortable dressy
shorts I’ve ever tried on and I love the
trend of like a pleated short or just
like something that looks a little bit
nicer for the summertime but I’ve never
really found any that fit me the right
way these I think I sized up like twice
and that was the move I got a lot of DMS
from you guys when I’ve posted about
shopping for shorts and all of that and
the struggle so many of you guys are
like you just have to size up with
shorts like you just have to accept that
you’re definitely going to size up with
these I sized up twice and it was
perfect again I’ll put my size below
they are comfortable to sit in
comfortable to stand in comfortable to
walk in they look dressy but they don’t
have to be dressy you could wear them
with anything and I just feel like these
are the shorts of the summer for me and
I’m really excited that they’re just at
Target so this cropped tank I would not
typically go for however I have so many
high-waisted things that I was like it’s
kind of perfect again sized up I have it
in black and in white and I just feel
like it’s going to be one of those
things that if I were to throw a light
jacket over it it would totally complete
the outfit but I also could just wear
the tank top alone I really liked these
jeans if you will from Target they’re
the kind that’s high-waisted but then
they’re like really really wide leg
these were actually comfortable I’ve
tried on a lot of these from various
Brands and I think I’ve returned all of
them because they’ve never quite fit
right but these were still comfortable I
love the white color of course for
summer uh and they of course had
different colors too these I got at
uniel everyone tells me I’m saying that
wrong and I every time I read someone
pronouncing like their pronunciation I’m
like I don’t know what I’m saying wrong
somebody School me in the comments
please two things from there so first
off these khaki colored joggers oh my
gosh I got these when we were in Disney
but you can order from uni online I
always buy something at Uni and Disney
and end up loving it so much and being
so excited that you can get it online so
if I ever wanted to get another color
I’m the queen of if I love something and
it fits me exactly the way I want I will
buy multiple colors because I just feel
like there’s something about it when you
find something you love you just want
more of it cuz you’re terrified that it
will like you you’ll lose it or
something like a stain will get on it
that you cannot get off anyway these are
so comfortable again thinking of like
flight or like road trip travel if you
have any these would be so comfortable
and again they had different colors but
I loved this beige color and then the
shirt with it may be one of the best I
think it might be the best just regular
crew neck t-shirt ever it is super
stretchy it’s kind of got the micro rib
detail kind of like this this one’s from
um Kohl’s this one’s a little more crop
though that one is regular length I have
it in I think two colors is it two color
or’s the other one from Target there’s a
similar one from Target that I also
really like so if you’re not wanting to
place a uniqu little order I’ll link the
target one too um because I love them
both and they are both very very similar
but the white is not totally seethrough
I’m always excited about that and white
shirts I mean I feel like you always
need but I have to get a fresh one each
season because it’s never looking great
it’s always looking dingy by the end of
like the time I’m wearing her at the end
of the year whatever so that’s
everything I mean i’ I feel like there
are random pieces here and there I’m
probably not thinking of but those were
the ones that kind of stood out to me
that I was like I want to get clips of
these on because I think a lot of you
guys might be interested they’re all
kind of different from each other but I
