[Music] for being honest I need an IV drip of this so good happy Monday welcome back to another Vlog I’m in the HB parking lot right now because I need to pick up a few things that we genuinely need like today that I forgot to get in our cbide order unfortunately like frozen bananas for our smoothies that we have every day bal’s coffee grounds which is why I got coffee out today because we don’t have any more espresso grounds we had grounds for drip coffee but Griffin’s the one that drinks the drip coffee and I usually make lattes so I just went and picked us up two honey cinnamon oat lattes from Bean and bottle I’m going to run in HB I wanted to run in Target too because I went into Target on Friday and I got these two active wear pieces of clothing which I’ll show you all when I get home cuz they’re genuinely so great for affordable active wear aure I bought them on Friday and self checkout and I didn’t realize that the little security tags were on them I have them at home but I can’t wear them because the security tags are still on them and I meant to bring them with me to go by Target on my way home from HGB I forgot of course we went to at: 45 this morning and I’m so excited because I have been begging G not begging I’ve been encouraging him for the last like 2 months I feel like to start doing f45 just for the season of his life where he’s studying for the cfp exam after work and trying to work out before work and then work his normal job all day which that’s just like superhuman status to me don’t know how he’s been doing it cuz he’s been driving a good 20 minutes to go to the gym 15 minutes to go to the gym every morning working out coming home and not every morning I’d say like three or four of the weekday mornings on average he was still wanting to work out because it helps him so much just with his energy you know just stay in a good head space so I’ve been encouraging him to try out f45 it’s not as far as his usual gym he goes to and it’s also you know 45 minutes he doesn’t have to like plan what he’s going to do at the gym he can just show up and then you know do the class and I told him I was like look if it’s temporarily you going to f45 just to make your life easier I think you should try it just to make your life easier and save you that time cuz he could at least sleep in a little bit longer so it’s like even if you’re paying technically for two memberships for you know 2 months it’s way better to just spend that money if it’s going to help your health and your sleep and help you pass this exam it’s something we can absolutely make work he finally got a membership and he’s kind of like going with me at 6:30 now which is great cuz it’s like we have accountability so we went to to f45 this morning and it was brutal marathon is so hard when marathon is the class structure for Mondays it is literally so hard feels like you run a marathon even though I have no idea what that feels [Music] like we have an electrician coming by to install our Nest Thermostat upstairs we have one downstairs that we had got on our registry I had ordered a SE second one for our other thermostat that’s up here off of Amazon with um some wedding gift cards we had and a gift card that I have for my birthday then last week we got another n thermostat in the mail that was also from our registry like somebody else bought it which I think maybe we had two on the registry I can’t fully remember thankfully the day we got it in the mail it was literally the last day I could return the one that I had bought off Amazon but we need somebody to come install it cuz Griffin and I are not electrician type people I feel like it’s one of those things that you could learn how to do but we are both very just like anything with wires I just don’t even like to mess with I was very scared of it here’s what I wore at f45 excuse the mess behind me on the counter got to clean that up in a little bit but I was filming some stuff yesterday so I have things everywhere but I wore this lemon sports bra it’s the smooth cover yoga bra I think is the name of it and then I wore my halara leggings that I love these leggings really are so good if you want like a good affordable pair of leggings and I know you can’t see the whole thing right now they really hold you in and they’re just flattering and good CL CLC pair and they have lots of different colors too [Music] it’s been a very rainy day and I’ve just been editing most of the day but we got the sweetest gift last night in the mail from our wedding videographer they sent us this flash drive that’s like a heart- shaped USB and our wedding package came with getting which honestly I didn’t realize how much raw footage we would be getting but I am grateful beyond words that we got it all we have all of our speeches our whole ceremony all of our dances and our first look from both of our perspectives and our private last dance and our cake cutting all of those things just like the raw footage of those things which is like so special cuz you get a lot of those in between moments that you don’t see in the final wedding film and just kind of things that help you remember the day more and oh and our fireworks that we had two at midnight from it being New Year’s and then they also sent one of these little Playbook things that you open up in the video the wedding video starts playing Oh no just takes a second but so cool and a sweet note and then this candle that smells so good that says New Beginnings cute little drink mix half mix things I have some of these and I haven’t tried them but they’re cool you just like add the alcohol and water I think sweetest gift ever I’ll leave our video on for link down below again but if you ever are curious about any of our wedding vendors I have them all on my Instagram and the Penn wedding post and then also in my Instagram story wedding highlight I wanted to do a quick affordable active Ware haul these are things that I’ve purchased with my own money and the whole point of this is because it’s basically in the ’90s already here in Houston or it will be this week for the first time this year mosquitoes are out I have like 15 bug bites on me right now from our evening walks and just we can’t keep them out of our house either it’s horrible first is this tank top from Target the color is freaking everything this is like my favorite pink got an extra small because I tend to have issues with like the shoulders being too long on tops or just not really filling the top out very well so I got an extra small it fits perfect very very similar to the Align tanks the only difference I’d say is that the fabric itself is not as thick this is more of like a single lining of the top whereas a line tanks it feels like it’s two Linings of the same material this one’s a little bit softer to the touch whereas the lime one’s a little bit more spandexy and this one feels a little bit more buttery smooth if that makes sense and then the back is more of a v i can’t really remember what the line tanks look like in the back right now cuz I don’t ever see the back this was $20 and it was 20% off during this past weekend when I got it for mother’s day so I got a really good deal on it and they have lots of cute colors and different tanks and stuff I was looking for more Sports braa and tank style of tops but I didn’t want to spend a fortune so I got this one and I also got this one off of Amazon I really needed another white tank or Sports braa just because a lot of the ones I have are either too small or they’re just really dingy from wearing them so much over the last year and a half I got this another one of these I have this same tank top in like a blue color that yall see me wear a lot and and I love it it’s from Amazon I think it’s under 20 bucks I want to say and they’re CFT at about the same length maybe a little bit higher than this one is and it has a built-in bra I’ll try it on really quick here’s the white one love it I already have this one like I said so I already knew what I was getting with this one this one’s very very supportive I haven’t worn the pink one yet obviously but I do really love this one and it holds up so well for cardio days when I’m like jumping around a lot and everything youall know I love my little lemon adapted State joggers which are what I have on right now and I wear them all the freaking time I my cost per wear on these is probably like a one billionth of a scent saw these in Target though and with them being 20% off I was like you know what I’m G to try these on because I felt them and they just feel so similar to the adapted State ones the only difference is that these are just regular cut pants instead of joggers but I kind of like that because I can wear them a lot of different ways but let me show youall what they look like they’re like a bone color and I love the fit of them they have a really stretchy waistband and they can tie has good pockets and then they’re just tapered right above my ankle here’s a good full length shot ignore how messy everything is is in here right now we need to clean out our closet but I really love these and I thought these could be really cute with so many different things like sneakers slides whatever and they’d be really comfortable to travel in and since I love my adapted State one so much I figured getting another neutral color would be good then we have these shorts I just put on my ring light so you can see colors better these are the viral CRZ yoga dolphin shorts I think is what they’re called and they’re supposed to be really similar to Lemon fast and free shorts but I have never had had L lemon fasten free shorts only their leggings which I do love this is the bone color I really want to try jara’s shorts too since I love all of their other stuff a lot I’m wearing a small they definitely have good coverage and they fit my waist perfectly I was really torn between getting a small and medium because I didn’t want the waist to be too big if I got the medium kind of just open up on the sides here as you can see but they’re not like flying open if you know what I mean but I love this bone color for like a neutral white color pair and then I got this mint green color that’s so so pretty reminds me have mint chocolate chip ice cream and it’s just stunning I love this color and they’re so comfy haven’t exercised or anything in them and honestly I never wear shorts like this to workout classes or to do anything like that I more so just wear them on a day-to-day basis but I’ll leave all these link below I just really wanted to share all because I always get DMS about like my favorite more affordable acave wear and I feel like I don’t ever share it kind of been one sitting the halara leggings I wore this morning and the Green Top I had on over my sports bra love those from harara I love hara’s exercise dress I love all of these and target has seriously been killing it in the active wear lately and even the clothes but I’ll have them all linked below and I also have like if you ever see any of my workout outfits I have a whole collection on my ltk and it’s called like active wear or workout ootds and pretty much everything that you see me wear active wear wise is in that [Music] good morning I am currently making Griffin a little lunch really just in my wifey era over here I told him I did not feel like meal propping this week so I just instead bought some things that we could do to kind of just make quick lunches for him to take to work in the morning but then also just quick lunches for me to assemble ingredients for like tuna salad and wraps and everything like that so I wanted to show y’all what I just put together for him so that you all can I don’t know maybe draw some inspiration for it cuz I know youall love seeing what I meal prep so I have some green grapes right here and then I did some of the the thin Stacy’s Pita Chips and then this is some hummus right here and then right here I have some spinach I have two Thin slices of pepper jack cheese and then some turkey right here this is probably more turkey than Griffin needs but I figured he could just eat whatever doesn’t fit on the wrap so I’m going to give him one of these tortillas in a little bag to take with him and he can assemble the wrap when he’s at work that way it doesn’t get like soggy or anything and I’m going to get some sauce or something to put on the side with it so I’m going to get some honey mustard and a little container for him to take and put this all in a bag I just have some snacks for him to take too if was like whatever I’m just going to grab some of our snacks in case this isn’t enough so we have a cutie a protein bar these are his favorite um the white chocolate raspberry Quest Bars and then a little beef stick from [Music] Costco just tried these rounds for the first time in my machine and I’m not going to lie I actually had to like dump my first round and rerun it because this is is so finely ground that it’s basically like powdered sugar and it’s really hard to not overpress the grounds I feel like because my machine was Dripping the espresso super super slowly which based on the instruction manual that means that the espresso is too tightly packed or there’s too much of it I know there wasn’t too much of it because the holder wasn’t even as full as it normally is this is so finely ground the second time I just ran it it worked but it was still like towards the end of it getting very slow of a drip so I’m going to have to play around with it to see how to make this one work because it is so finely ground but the pro of it being finely ground is that it’s very strong and I shed out this cofia Farms French vanilla creamer for the first time I’m doing a little bit more cuz I didn’t put a lot it’s really good it’s definitely a true like french vanilla flavor civia Farms creamers have gotten so good I remember when they first came out I was like these are trash once they came out with that cookie butter creamer which I have in my fridge right now it’s been uphill from there I know I always show y’all like makeup and getting ready and stuff but I wanted to show youall what I have been pushing myself to do on more of a day-to-day basis when I don’t feel like putting on a lot of makeup or when I’m just going to be like at the house really and just want to feel a little bit better about myself I think that it’s just a small step that can take like 2 minutes and it makes you feel so much better about yourself so it’s worth it and this is what I’ve been doing for the last few weeks not daily but I’m trying to build up to kind of doing it daily because I’m trying to get in the habit of always wearing espf even when I know I’m not leaving the house during the day cuz I’m still going outside and going on walks so first thing I like to start with is super goop glow screen I have the shade golden hour which it’s definitely a little bit darker than my natural color I do have a tiny bit of self tanner left on right now but I love superg because I kind of use this as a skin tint almost it’s not as heavy as a skin tint though but it seriously just gives the most gorgeous lip from within glow to my face and I’m obviously also getting SPF protection I know right now it looks really orange and red but it’s just when I first put it on it looks like that and then it kind of looks like my actual skin tone I love super goop so much though I use a lot of their sunscreen this is my second bottle of glow screen they just sent this one to me in PR but I had bought the bottle I had before this myself and it was the shade lighter than this but as you can see now it’s kind of like more evened out with my skin tone it’s just initially when I put it on it’s just like really orangish red for some reason you can just see how much more like alive and glowy and lip from within I look and I love that feeling and I do have very dark circles something I have always just been insecure about I have so much like extra skin on my eyelids my dark circles are really bad and I can’t do a lot about that but I can at least try and conceal the dark circles and I have this Catrice under eye brightener and this stuff is so good and it’s so cheap and they have a peach one too if your undertones under your eyes are more of like a blue but I will just do one eye to show you all the difference I just kind of Pat this in and it really just melts into your skin and it conceals the darkness so well obvious viously it can’t get rid of the actual puffiness of the circle itself but it can help with the discoloration so you can definitely see a difference especially in this inner part of my eye with how much brighter and less discolored this one is versus this one this literally takes me like less than 2 minutes something that I rediscovered more recently is this product that I used when I was in Middle School before I didn’t really wear mascara and stuff is this Duo cided e.l. brow and lash gel it doesn’t do like a ton on the lashes but it at least like lifts them a little bit just kind of lifts them a little bit nothing too dramatic and the brow gel on this is actually really good especially for being a really cheap e.l. product but I personally really like it it doesn’t get crusty on me and I do feel like my brows stay in place really well with it so I just like to do a quick brush through cuz my brows are normally all over the place if I don’t I’m jelling them and then I just like to top off with some sort of like lip gloss situation so yall know I really love the YSL candy glaze in the shade O2 clear one and it stays on your lips like all day these are both colored I think my clear one’s probably in my makeup bag I love nerium’s lip balms and I also really love the old henriksson ones I think I’m saying that right I hope I am these are really comfortable and they honestly last pretty long on the lips for being just like a traditional little lip balm this is the Coco cream shade but I also have their other Shades and the other one that’s lighter that I typically do on a day-to-day basis cuz this is a little dark for just like not having anything else on my face that lighter one’s in my office but I do like this one and it just makes me feel so much more put together and what I love about this is you can build from here so if you want to do a little bit more you can you can add on some bronzer some blush whatever you can do a little powder if you don’t like being super glowy I personally love being super glowy like this I just think it makes me look a lot more awake and alive it’s totally up to you [Music] [Applause] making a very late lunch but it’s so funny cuz I was watching Jenna Hong’s video last night while I was holding laundry and she was talking about peak’s matcha and I have other Peak products and I love them but I haven’t tried their mancha but I knew I had some so I wanted to try it because I just need a pickme up and I’ve really been trying to not have as much caffeine lately like only doing one coffee a day no energy energ drink in the morning before working out that kind of thing and if I do have more caffeine I want it to be like a very subtle amount that’s not going to make me anxious jittery all that stuff and I remembered I had the matcha so I was like you know what I’m going to try it and I will go ahead and say I’m not a big matcha girl I normally need to have a shot of espresso in matcha in order to like actually like it although I will say the mama bowls in Houston and really anywhere there’s a m BS their Froot Loop matcha is so insanely good it’s amazing and I like the strawberry fields matcha atot land but usually just like a plain matcha by itself not really my vibe but I’ve heard that Peaks matcha Blends the best in terms of not like getting chunky and just tasting a lot better I’ve always wanted to try it and I always forget I have it because it’s above our fridge with all of like our liquid IV and stuff since it’s in little packets and honestly I usually forget about stuff that’s up there because I just don’t see it every day we’re going to give it a shot today cuz I just need a boost to help me finish editing today because I’ve got through all the rough cuts and I really just need to power through and do all the other stuff today too I want the video to go up tomorrow morning and tomorrow I need to start editing Sunday’s video and I just tried to boil some eggs and make some like Jammy eggs is what they’re called but I didn’t boil them long enough so I ruined them they needed like 1 more minute probably but I think I didn’t wait long enough to put the eggs in or to start boiling try out this matcha I’m going to get some ice in it first to be honest I’m not expecting to love this just because I never drink straight matcha like this I always have to have something else in it that’s surprisingly so delicious it has the flavor of matcha but it’s not like grass I feel like a lot of times matcha is just too earthy and this one’s not it’s just more so of like a refreshing greens taste but you know what I am going to do I have a little poppy left so why not I only had a tiny bit left with the poppy in here so now it just tastes like a lroy strawberry lemon matcha almost this flavor of poppy already it’s good but it’s not like my favorite because it’s not very strong the flavor is not very strong but it did enhance the flavor of the matcha a little bit I’m just genuinely surprised I even like the matcha on its own cuz that is unheard of for me normally I’m like let’s have some cinnamon and some strawberries and some [Music] espresso you you come without me come on now oh you don’t get me my AI DJ on Spotify sucks he plays the same 10 songs I mean I love this song [Music] but a good bit of PR to unbox so I’m going to sit here and unbox them and just update y’all because I think I briefly brushed over it in a vlog but I I just didn’t want to really talk about it cuz I knew I would just get really frustrated if I started talking about it our like stove sloven range is broken and it’s been broken for over a month to where we we haven’t been able to use the oven there was a period of time where we weren’t really able to use the stove top either but we figured out if we like switched the breaker that the stove top we could at least get to work and every time it went out we could just flip the breaker to get it working again with the oven the thermometer in the oven basically doesn’t work so it will think it’s at like 400° but it’s actually like 200 so it never gets as hot as you needed to get basically and we have home warranty which if you didn’t know what home warranty is I’m going to scream I know I mentioned them on my podcast like last summer I know I mentioned them in YouTube videos like wanting these fragrances with beauty products I really try to not buy things unless I’m like genuinely out of them and need them and fragrances included in that and I have a lot of fragrance thankfully cuz I do get a lot of PR so I just have always told myself I want to try it but I don’t want to buy it cuz I don’t need it and when my friend Julia was in town the other weekend we ran into Ulta and I said hold on I want to see if vacation has a tester bottle out for their perfume because I’ve wanted to try it so bad for so long the other Ulta I used to go to they never had a estra bottle so I just wanted to know what it smelled like I smelled it in store and I was like this is so summery and fun and nice I’m so excited I got the vacation and the after Sunset I’m so thankful but anyways stove and oven broken thankfully we don’t use our oven a bunch we just use the stove top a lot because we have the little air fryer thing on our counter back there my camera is inverted for some reason but back there that thing can bake and air fry and all the good things so we typically use it for that but if you don’t know what home warranty is you kind of pay for it annually once you become a homeowner and it basically is warranty on a lot of your appliances and things like your HVAC system depending on the coverage you pay for it covers those things and since we didn’t buy any of our appliances in here except for our washer and dryer we got home warranty and basically it’s really helpful if you’re somebody who like doesn’t have you know a ton of disposable income to you know spend on a new HVAC system if your HVAC system was a break which ours broke last November if you all remember which was so insanely stressful right before the wedding and thankfully we only have the pay $900 $800 out of pocket and normally hfx systems are like 10 grand so we were very thankful we pay around $ 600ish annually for our home warranty so sounds like a lot when our HVAC broke last year obviously it helped save us a lot of money and now with our stove oven being broken I had checked to see if it was included in our warranty and it was so I had somebody come out here which you pay $90 I think for technicians to come out it’s like a flat fee and then they kind of determine what you need from there and then you have to pay whatever you have to pay out after that they were originally going to come and replace the part that was broken and then we got a message today saying that either the part is no longer available or made or that it’s not worth the cost it would take to fix it so they just sent us a $900 Home Depot gift card or they said they would sent us a $900 Home Depot gift card or a check in the mail so we did the $900 Home Depot gift card and I’m shocked they gave us that much I thought they were just going to give us replacement range like one to replace this one and I thought it was just going to be bottom of the line Bare Bones basic range and I’m shocked that they actually just gave us a gift card so we can go pick one out so as soon as we get that gift card we’re going to be getting one because I’ve been wanting to bake things like summer treats and stuff and I haven’t been able to so I’m excited for that NAD sent me some little travel siiz skincare which is amazing I love this little pouch too I really love nad’s skincare I recently started using it just from getting it in PR and I really really like it but I love that these are travel size cuz I do have some trips this summer yeah that was just another thing that happened last month on top of us the door replaced in the mold and all that stuff so it’s just been crazy one of our Windows upstairs in the office is leaking and our windows were leaking a long time ago when it was raining a lot but we ended up figuring out like getting somebody to come do something to our roof and it ended up helping it in our bedroom but our office one’s still leaking so that’s another issue so I’m just I’m over the issues you know what I mean I’m just like can one bang be okay for a month it’s next package I bought this myself a while ago but I just got it in the mail it’s the skinny confidential mouth tape for I don’t know if it’s a gemi or not but it supposedly helps the face be less puffy in the morning it supposedly helps you have more energy during the day I’ve Heard lots of good things about it outside of the skinny confidential I’m all for anything that will supposedly make my face less puffy and make me feel less tired you know what I mean we got this all of in June PR package oh my gosh I’m so excited I can’t wait to try these they sent a bunch of press on nails for my bachelorette trip but they only sent the quantity like of the Bridesmaids I have which is totally fine so I didn’t take any to try out cuz obviously I wanted my bridesmaides to have them now I’m really excited cuz I get to try these out these are so pretty it’s like a milky white and then we have this fun chromatic kind of yellow and I’ve actually seen on Tik Tok that theirs are like really hard to get off and the best which I like that these like pink chrome ones got oh my gosh these are fun like a coffee kind of color but they’re omish and then we’ve got a French tip I just made these like barbecue chicken bowls for dinner to have like Co SLA and it’s like a whole 30 recipe and we’ve made it before for lunch the sweet potatoes I got from the store in curbside this week they were like already bad today they’re the pre- diced ones in the bag so I couldn’t use those in the recipe so I asked Griffin to pick some up on the way home but the store he went in they didn’t have them cuz it was like a smaller grocery store so he just picked up these like Mashable microwave wool potatoes and they were terrible they literally tasted like you were eating metal it was so bad so we had made those to put with it instead of DIC sweet potatoes but they were so bad and I remember we had pretzel bun so I was like you know what let’s just make barbecue chicken sandwiches and put the col saw on them and it actually ended up being really delicious but it was initially terrible we’ve got some more protein I have this on subscription on Amazon but we’ve actually been out of protein for like 2 weeks so I need to update the subscription to be more frequent that’s a little PR unboxing and a catch up of what’s going on at the house but I’m going to finish up editing my video that’s going up tomorrow so that it can go up tomorrow morning and we’ll probably go on a walk in a little bit but I do want to clean up all this PR m house [Music] my schedule is genuinely so thrown off today because I got home from :45 this morning and instead of like immediately showering and everything I went ahead and finished up getting my video ready to go live today which that process can take anywhere from like 20 minutes to like an hour and a half and today was like an hour and a half so that took a while and I didn’t even really get showered and have coffee and everything until like 10:00 10:15 and now it’s like noon and I’m just like what the heck but I’m wearing the new shorts today the green ones if this lighting’s better if yall wanted to see them in natural lighting um love them also I thought I got high-rise but I got mid-rise but I kind of like it and then my little skims boyfriend tea but I want to do a trying on everything in my closet video and right now I’m trying to kind of plan out next next week because next week’s my last full work week before I go home for Golf Coast Jam which I’m so excited for my sister-in-law is going with me since Griffin can’t go since he is going to be studying for his exam which I cannot believe is 2 months from tomorrow and then I have a trip with my mom right after going home so it’s just going to be like busy for the next 3 weeks after next week and I just want to be ahead on content but I really want to do a filming everything in my closet like trying on everything in my closet video really want to do it short form and a YouTube video but the YouTube video be focused on reorganizing the closet and trying everything on but then the short form version being kind of trying on based on category so kind of making it a series I know that that is such a time commitment and it’s going to take several days but I also have some other brand content due next week and I’m waiting on some new lighting like a new lighting setup to come in the mail which is going to be here today I think I’m waiting on that stuff to get here to start filming it and it gets here today and tomorrow but then I’m like oh my gosh tomorrow it’s going to be raining so lighting is not going to be very good but I guess that’s what having the artificial lightings for that will come in today I’m just trying to plan it all out on top of needing to like edit the content that I need to edit to have two videos go up a week cuz I need to now turn around and edit this video to go up Sunday I’m going to be vlogging this weekend it’s going to be a really exciting video cuz it’s going to be a lot of bedroom updates cuz we’re getting a bed finally tomorrow I think it comes to the mail I’m so excited but with working for myself I think I’m at a point right now where I need to make a schedule to just make my life easier I’m somebody who likes structure but not too much structure like there’ be flexibility within the structure so I’m going into my notion and in my content creation section and I’m really just going to try and have like a tenative okay on Mondays we’re going to do this Tuesdays we’re going to do this Wednesdays we’re going to do this type of schedule that will just really optimize the way I’m spending my time during the day cuz right now I just feel like I bounce back and forth between so many different things and it’s making my attention span and my ability to like stay focused and doing one task for longer than like an hour it makes that feel impossible because I’m constantly bouncing back and forth doing things like editing long form editing short form drafting short form linking things and I’m just bouncing all over the place and I just need to streamline it so where I’m doing like one task at a time so for example spending Friday updating my like storefront and like to know it with all my links obviously not the only thing I’d be doing but just kind of dedicating task to certain days responding to comments on Wednesdays for example you get the idea so I’m going to work on that but I need to figure out how I want to kind of do it in notion I’m going to look for some weekly templates cuz I don’t want to sit here and build out one that’s intense and I really don’t even need anything that intense honestly I have a ocean board on my Pinterest and I’ve saved over the years just little banners that I like so I went there so I found a cover there that I liked for this weekly plan page that I made and used this template that I found free online on Notions website so I’ll leave that template link down below and I really like it cuz it’s super simple and I kind of just went hard at making it work for what I need it to work for so I kind of just changed the color of the days and I reorganized it a little bit because I didn’t need all the sections that this template had and kind of just split up what I think would work best given my current upload schedule and how frequently I post on other social media platforms and just little tasks that I can assign to each day to just give me a little bit more structure of course it doesn’t have to stick to this every single day of every single week but it at least gives me some sort of structure that I can follow and ultimately it just helps me feel a lot less scatterbrained and helps me really just feel like I can sit down and get so much more done and maybe it gives you a little insight into what’s being content creator full-time looks like on a day-to-day [Music] basis made a quick little lunch I have these little um tortillas they’re like the little carb Smart Ones from HB got B’s head Maple honey coat turkey I have a little bit of pepper jack on here and I have some arugula raspberry chipotle sauce from this brand this is what I love to make on Burgers when we make them at home but they rebranded actually so their jars and everything look completely different now but you can get it at H literally so good for like burgers and sandwiches um that kind of sweet heat Vibe and I just Dr it a little bit of that on here so I’m going to eat this [Music] made dinner and I spent about 3 hours today filming for everything trying on everything in my closet and it took me a long time to just get through like my blouses and tops feel like I have the most in that section but I feel like doing all the long sleeve tops and sweaters are going to suck too and I really wanted this video to be like up in about a week and a half and I think it’s going to take me a lot longer to film and just kind of transform our closet than I thought cuz I was originally just going to make it a shying on everything in my closet video I also don’t want to have like a 40 minute video for it cuz I feel like not many people want to watch 40 minutes of that but I have some stuff I need to get done on my computer I had like a little giveaway in the comments of my video that went live today just for like people who came to comments on the first day of the video I pick like five seven people and send some coffee money to you guys let me know if you’ll like that doing it in the comments I wanted to do something not on Instagram since I feel like a lot of my giveaways are on Instagram and I know not everyone has it I’m going to get the winners for that and send the coffee money over I have a few things to do for my talent manager and they’re nothing crazy like they’re very easy so I don’t mind doing them like later at night right now I’m just waiting till it gets a little bit later to walk Ella when it’s cooled off some and almost done with the summer will be different I’m 70% done with it and I’m going to finish it tonight for sure but I’m so pissed y’all one of yall dm’ me and said on I think it was last Thursday night last Thursday or Friday night but one of youall dm’ me on Instagram I posted that I had started reading the book and said oh are you going to the Carly Fortune signing tonight and I was like excuse me there’s a signing I have read all of her books like very soon after them coming out so I considered myself a pretty big fan and she went to freaking Blue Willow which is like my favorite bookstore in Houston that I’ve been to I didn’t realize that you had to have tickets to go to the book signing and apparently you did and of course they were sold out of the tickets but I don’t know how I didn’t see it cuz I like followed her on Instagram Carly fortune and or at least I thought I did I didn’t get to go to it which was a bummer and that just would have been really cool but I flopped and I missed out on that but it’s [Music] fine I am about to crawl into bed I just body showered girl and I took a on a walk about an hour ago I’m going to go ahead and end off the Vlog though because I am going to be starting another Vlog tomorrow probably probably like tomorrow afternoon is we will see but it
