Thank you
Hey guys, welcome back to a new vlog
um, so today we are going to the mall and I
Need to return like the reason why we're going is because
I need to return something that I got for christmas. That was just the wrong size
So this is the fit for today. This is from white box
And then my crew neck is from h&m and then this is from aricia
And I had to go to toucan today because my hair was so greasy like i'm gonna watch it tomorrow or tonight
Not sure, but my hair is so greasy. So it's like it's disgusting and
It needs to be covered, but it's okay because I was so shocked
Madison came in my room this morning and told me it was snowing and I was like
I thought we were done with the snow. Like I thought that our last snowfall was like yesterday or two days ago
But it's snowing again
Like i'm literally so shocked because I had no idea that I was gonna start snowing again. Oh, there you go
Yeah, literally snowing again. I'm so shocked, but I think this will be our last snowfall
So temperatures are rising. So but anyway, so these are the slippers slash shoes that I need to return
I love them, but I just need to get a different size because they're just like a size eight and i'm usually size seven
So we're just gonna go and see hopefully they have
An exchange and if they don't then i'm just gonna get a gift card or something so that I can get them another time
Because I still want them. It's just they're not the right size. So I gotta do it before the date. It's like
You know
Expired and it's already been like two weeks since christmas. So we gotta go now
Okay, so I actually kind of changed my outfit
I'm wearing these just like black flary pants from princess polly because my other pants are just like too warm
Where as like we're gonna be in the mall
So I feel like i'm gonna get too hot because I have like the puffer on
And the sweatpants were really hot. So I feel like I don't want to get too hot in the mall
You know like it's cold, but we're going inside. So whatever
Still cute. It's still basically the same
Yeah, we're gonna get some starbucks and i'm gonna show you guys the best hack ever
But you can't tell anybody like this is a secret between you and I
You can't tell anybody else outside of this like this is like
You have to pinky promise me
Because this is like such a good hack
That i'm gonna share with you guys. So we gotta keep this on the dl. Okay
Okay, you have to get the app in order to do this hack
And i'm gonna shoot and expose your mouth i'm gonna split only only to them like they're not gonna tell anybody
This is how you get like an iced latte
For three dollars and fifty cents because if I ordered it
In a different way like just ask for an iced latte
It would literally be like seven dollars here like it's so expensive just for like a grande
But getting it this way you're kind of just like adding in the steps yourself
And it still ends up being the same exact taste and everything like I swear
So i'll show you guys how it looks so I can prove it to you. Okay, so here it is on the app
so iced espresso
Um a double a grande cup extra splash of oak beverage three pumps usually in a regular latte
There's four pumps, but I just minimize it to three just because it's a little tiny bit too sweet
And yeah, as you can see three dollars and forty cents
I was not lying and I will show you guys when I get it because I swear this works
But you have to make sure that you put it in a grande cup
That's like the biggest like you have to make sure you do that or else it's not it's gonna like come in like a mini cup
Or something. I don't know
Okay, I ordered it madison's literally going in right now to pick it up and then i'm going to show you guys
Yay
Thank you
Yeah, why didn't they stir it? I don't know maybe it probably just fell to the bottom because it's caramel so it's thick
You know what? I mean? Yeah true
Okay, so this is what it looks like
It's literally a latte and it tastes exactly like if you ordered like a caramel or vanilla latte
But it's like literally half the price. So yeah, there's my little hacky hack and she got sweet cream
It's snowing so much I honestly love the snow like it's so cute. It's so cute
Okay, so we just got back from the mall
And it is dumping snow and I wanted to get to my car fast because I didn't I don't have like a car scraper in here
so I was like
I don't want to come back and then my car be completely like
snowed
and then
It's like about to scrape it off with like a card or something
It's like we got to get to the car before that happens
Anyways, I ended up exchanging them. They had kind of like what I wanted. So i'll show you guys when I get home what I got
But see how we were kind of just in and out. I didn't really want to take like a long time
But anyways, my car is just defrosting
The flakes are so big
So now we're just trying to find out what to eat because we were gonna eat in the mall food court
Like it's 2 45 and I haven't eaten anything today
Um, but the coffee told me over so it's fine, but
You were gonna have something in the food court
But then we got in there and it was so busy like it was like disgustingly like busy
Like it was kind of gross
There were so many people in the food court that it was just like, okay, we don't want to eat in here
so
We're just trying to find a place now that we can like pick something up
And just like go home because it's snowing
so
Yeah, I don't know what we're gonna do. We're trying to find a good place. Either way
I'm, just trying to take in the snow before it goes away
Because I know that it's not gonna snow all year after this. This is definitely like the last snowfall that's gonna happen
So right now me and madison wanted to do like a big grocery shop because we have just been kind of eating unhealthy
Like i haven't been eating like
Too unhealthy like it hasn't been like really bad
Like i've been having my healthy smoothie every morning. So that makes me feel a lot better
but
We just have like i've just been making like some unhealthy choices and like that's fine everything in moderation
but
We just want to kind of go
to like the big grocery store
and do a huge haul of just like
healthier snacks healthier things that we can have in the house so that it's like we can it'll help us make better choices because
Madison last night had like what's it called?
Acid reflux like indigestion indigestion or acid reflux or something really painful and it woke her up
and
It may be because
She's been eating like ---- like we don't know
But it was just like that's her sign to start eating healthy. So we're gonna try and do this together
Just like because I woke up at 3 30 in the morning
excruciating stomach pain
And she said that the inner walls of her stomach felt like they were burning like burning burning
so
Yeah, we're gonna go do a huge massive grocery grocery haul
I'll try and give you guys like a haul when we get back just so I can give you guys an overview
But I just have a couple things like frozen fruit. I need to get more of because I want to keep up my smoothies
and yeah, we decided that we want to go thrifting before because like the thrifting store and
The big grocery store is kind of like near each other. So we're gonna do a little thrifting
I'm only gonna buy something if I like really like it because one of my new year's resolutions is to stop spending money on clothing
Because I do get a good amount of clothing sent to me already
So it's like me buying clothing on top of that. It's kind of pointless if I don't need anything
But thrifting is kind of a different story. So i'm not like we're just gonna go in there quickly and see if they have anything good
But yeah, that is the plan for today. It's such an icky day outside like it is just
Raining and it's just like not a nice day yesterday was sunny, but I couldn't even enjoy it because like I was gonna vlog yesterday
but I just had
Like you guys know I have really bad period cramps and it was just a horrible day for that yesterday
Like I was out the whole day. I was dying. So today we're feeling a little better
I mean my stomach's kind of still hurting but like i'm fine. It's like manageable
I did book an appointment with a naturopath for tomorrow. So i'm really excited for that
It's quite pricey, but I hope it's worth it because i've tried a lot of things already and nothing's been working
but anyways
we're gonna go thrifting and
Yeah, I'll let you guys know
We get anything good
This is my fit for the day. I'm just wearing this white fox set. This is like literally my favorite set
I just like i'm obsessed with the colors and everything
Let's go I always make sure to look at the purse section because this purse is actually from here
and you know, you never know I mean most likely there's not gonna be anything good because it's just like
rare
But madison did find this one here. So now I always make sure to look at the purse section because I never used to do that
So yeah, but you really have to like look because it's kind of hard to like spot out good ones
But as long as you like dig through them
You may find something
But i'm obsessed with shoulder bags right now. So
Okay, another tip is to look like in the cookware and like the trinket section
Because they actually could have some really nice dishes and stuff like those green ones are brand new and they're so nice
Like if you guys are moving out or something and just want to find like cheap alternatives
Then they actually have a lot of stuff. You just got to like wash it really well, but you know what?
Look, there's like so much stuff. Like I honestly would
Come here if I was like on a budget
Because it's very good prices and you can probably find some really good things you guys i'm dead. This is like a giant bottle
Daddy's sippy cup. It's been a rough day
This is so funny. Like look at how big that is
That's huge
I could not be more excited right now
I've been trying to find the dairy food borscht because I love borscht for so long now
And they finally have it here because this is like a huge grocery store
So I decided I would check and I am literally so excited about this
I'll tell I'll let you guys know how it is. I'm literally in love with this aisle
It's all like the organic stuff in this section
And like I could literally buy everything
Because you already know
Everything looks so good
definitely expensive but
I just want to I just want to try everything
It's hard to resist okay, this is a basket right now
Or a cart or whatever and we bought so many bananas and they're not even ripe
But we're just gonna let them right in the middle on the counter
and then what I like to do
is I like to cut them and then freeze them so that I can put them in my smoothies and
Or like make banana ice cream because it's like I love making banana ice cream
Basically, you just take frozen bananas and we have this machine that turns it into ice cream
Like i'm not even kidding. I'll show you guys next time I make it
But yeah, we literally use frozen bananas a lot so buying them in bulk and then cutting and freezing them
It's like the best thing to do
So that's why we have so many bananas, but this is the cart so far
A little overview on what we got
So a bunch of frozen fruit for our smoothie notori
and we got some kombucha cans just to have in the house because
Everybody likes a good kombucha and these ones come in a package
So they're not as expensive and we're just probably gonna keep them in the bar fridge downstairs
and
We got some
Teas, this is the one that we buy traditional medicinals
And we got these chickpeas. I've never tried the dill flavor, but we also bought the barbecue flavor
These chickpeas are literally so good. It's such a good healthy snack
alternative and
Madison noticed that they had dill
So we decided to try it and they were on sale so we got four of these
I also got some flaxseeds to put smoothies every morning
It's got some ginger aids, eating maps and stomach
These are actually really good and healthy. It's got some of those. These are actually really good as well
And they're healthy. We also got these they're plant-based cheddar jalapeno. They look so good. Never tried these once before
So i'm so excited. We just got some contacts because we needed some
and
kettle dill pickle chips and
And spinach and yes
pretty much
What we got the bananas guys
I just tried the dairy-free porcine and it literally tastes exactly like the real porcine like i'm actually shocked right now
I am so shocked even like the texture of it is the exact same
Usually when you have dairy-free cheeses, the texture is a little like weird
but this
Is literally the texture of the normal porcine like i'm shocked
If you guys don't like dairy if you don't eat dairy go buy this like this is so good. I'm obsessed
Okay, I realized I completely forgot to show you guys the uh slippers that I exchanged I got black
because I figured they didn't have the same color blue, unfortunately, so
I got black and I got a size seven and they fit me perfectly and they're so cute
I don't know if i'm gonna wear them out of the house
I mean maybe like one summer day if i'm like
Going to the gym and I just need shoes to slide on like that
I feel like i'll use them for that like in that scenario and use them outside
But I feel like i'm just gonna use them
Indoors for now and then until I bring them out
We'll see. I don't know but they are so
Cute and i'm in love with them
like look at that like i'm obsessed they're so adorable and
I would so wear these out of the house. Like if it wasn't for them getting dirty, I would so do it
But they are black which means
That it's fine if I wear them out of the house because if they do get dirty
Then it's not even that big of a deal. I just won't wear them on like rainy days
but i'll wear it on a day like that i'm wearing just like a chill outfit and I just want like
Chill shoes to wear with it, you know, so yeah, thank you joel
So I got an amazon package in the mail and i'm pretty sure that it's the next book that I ordered
Because my new year's resolution like one of them was to read a book every single month
and so I need to get on it because it's already like
Like almost halfway into the month so I need to read this book
but i'm sure it's not going to be hard to read it because
This is apparently a really good book. So it's called ugly love by colleen hoover and
Literally, I ordered it within two days. It was at my house and apparently this is so good
This is the same author that from the last book that I read that's called it ends with us
And so i'm so excited because she's an amazing author
The last book that I read was so addicting like I just couldn't stop thinking about the book afterwards
like it's one of those things where it's like
You can't stop thinking about
About about it. Like it's just so good. So i'm so excited to read this one. I have no idea what it's about
I don't really want to read the back just because I wanted to be like a surprise
Julia explained it to me because she read it and she explained me to me what it was about
But I literally completely forgot because she explained like a while ago
And yeah, i'm so excited if you guys want to read this book with me this month go and get it
And we can read it together because apparently it's like the literal best book
So i'm so excited and i'm so glad just to like get into reading and grow like a book collection
Okay, so I actually got a second package in the mail
Sorry, you guys are bouncing on the box right now because I just opened it but summer fridays sent me some products
I'm, so excited. So thank you so much
Um summer fridays for sending me these products like this is a dream come true. I was listening to
Them because they were a guest on this podcast called pretty basic and they were just kind of talking about their brand
They're two female co-founders of the brand and just like the way they built it and stuff is so inspiring always heard that their
Jet lag mask is really really good
So I reached out to them and they were kind enough to gift me some products
But they sent me their cc me serum their super amino gel cleanser and their jet lag mask
And i'm so excited to try these
I will I think i'm going to do at least a jet lag mask tonight and let you guys know how it is
But I know that their like ingredients are super super good and i'm just so excited
And the packaging is so freaking cute
Take a look. I'll show you guys also the box is really cute. It's just like simplistic the color scheme
It's literally everything I want in my life. Like this is so freaking cute. I'm obsessed
I will let you guys know how they are, but i'm sure they're going to be amazing
Just realized filming those clips in the background. I literally had a stack of laundry
i'm actually going to do my laundry right now because
It's got to be done as you can see the bin is overflow
So we're I think this will just be one load of light. So i'm just going to do that quickly
I've been really wanting to get back into gymming
But unfortunately all of the gyms are shut down. I don't even know for how long
But I just hope that they reopen again because honestly my opinion gyms should be 100% essential
It's for your health like gyms are so good for people's mental health their physical health and
I just want to go to the gym so bad
I just really want to like work out and stuff at the gym. It's just such a good nice environment
That's my eca and I don't really like have like workout equipment at home
I know I can do like at home workouts, but they just don't hit the same
You know what? I mean? They just really don't hit the same bring back the gym
I'm also about to get my room just like a quick tidy. It's not really that messy
Like there's really nothing on the floor here
It's just kind of like a couple of random things that are shoved around
I'm just gonna give my room a quick cleanup because if I leave it
Then I already know that this is just gonna get worse and worse and worse as the week goes on
So we have to nip it in the butt right away do 10 minutes of cleaning and this will literally all be cleaned and then
one load of laundry
And should be gucci
Okay guys, so realize I never ended this video
So i'm ending it right now because I honestly hate doing
Videos without outros because I just feel like I need to say bye like I just miss you guys like I need to say bye
anyways, so
I
Planning on starting to read the book tonight. So i'll update you on how it is
Secondly, um, I will update you on how I like the summer friday products because I just want to use them for like at
Least a week and then do a little review for you guys
So I will let you guys know and update you guys
and
My room is clean. We cleaned it. It's nice and fresh. I also decided to
I got like so many sweatsuits now that I didn't have room in these these like shelvings here
So I kind of just like this space that i'm not using anymore here because I got rid of like some ----. I just like
Have a pile of sweatsuits here
It looks really funny. But you know what?
you got to make it work and
It works so
We love it
And i'm obsessed with my uggs like they're so comfortable. But yeah, anyway, so I will see you guys my next one
