Hello guys, welcome back to my channel.
We are at home for the holidays.
Today is one of the saddest days in the year, I would say, which is the day after Christmas,
December 26th.
But, one, I'm with Aunt Debbie, hello, and we are upstairs Nordstrom here in Tampa.
If you know, you know, upstairs Nordstrom parking lot at International Plaza is just
like monumental for this channel.
It's not actually, I just love it so much and this is where I always park and I have
lots of great memories being here with friends like after school or I don't know, whatever,
just random stuff.
Like I just love it here.
We're doing some post Christmas returns and then I'm returning, I'm actually returning
Aunt Debbie.
I'm returning, I don't want her, no I'm kidding, I'm returning her to the airport to go back
to New York.
Today is Thursday, I'm going back home to New York on Sunday so I'm here for a few more
days and I thought it'd be fun to do a little vlog and do a little week in my life.
Not many plans but like, you guys know me, I don't, that doesn't really sit well with
me so I will probably be infusing plans into the day.
Okay so, ooh, let me just pour water into my bag.
Examining my purse here.
Put that there.
Anyways, welcome back to the vlog.
I'm going to do a car tour later because Volvo hooked it up and also if you know, you know,
I used to drive a Volvo XC60 when I lived in Tampa and when I went to college and then
I sold it when I moved to New York and I'm still really sad about it but I've got a Volvo
XC60 for the week which is so amazing.
I'm trying to lock it.
So I'm going to do a car tour later because that'll be fun.
Here's a little mall OOTD.
Oh, wait, ooh, stop it, ooh, ooh, ooh.
It's okay.
She was closing the trunk, sorry about that.
Got the sweatpant jeans on, a little skims top.
This bag is my new favorite bag ever.
My Aunt Debbie just bought it too.
It's from Amazon.
It's like a dupe for the Kate bag but it fits so much.
It has a zipper.
I love it.
Hat, little Calypso moment.
And I'm wearing Uggs because it's cold in Florida.
Actually, it's not cold today.
It's quite warm.
But anyways, let's see what the mall is like on the day after Christmas.
Hallelujah.
Of course, had to get a nice latte.
I love the mall, all decorated for the holidays.
I don't want it to go away.
There she goes.
I hope she goes to the right door.
She's a curbside girly and she was really nervous and I walked her through.
Bye.
I was like, just walk right in, go to the full service line.
They'll do everything for you all.
I just met up with Morgan and Kaitlyn.
It's so fun because we all live in New York but we all are still best friends from high
school and all come back to Tampa for the holidays usually.
So we met up at Fresh Kitchen for lunch and it ended up being a two-hour lunch, which
is exactly how I like it.
Fresh Kitchen is so good.
I always crave it when I'm in New York.
New York has so many food options and I'm like, I want Fresh Kitchen.
It's like sweet potato noodles, cauliflower mash, chicken, like everything's seasoned
so nice.
And I actually got a to-go order for my dad because he's working from home today.
So I decided to bring him back something.
He'll be very excited.
He's got a green juice on the way out as well.
I am like so tired.
Like, I don't know why.
Like, it's a very chill week.
But they were saying the same thing.
Like, well, I'm just really tired.
I'm not for any reason really.
I'm not doing much.
But yeah, we're gonna drive back.
I'm gonna listen to my music and just enjoy the drive.
The sun is setting.
And yeah, all of our docks are still ruined from the hurricane.
It's probably gonna take a while until we're able to get people to come repair it.
But at least we can still walk on the dock, which is nice.
Got this pizza toy for Finley for Christmas.
And it's so fun because one, it's a pizza.
How fun.
And two, I hid some treats in here.
And he has to, like, find them.
Do you smell them?
Come here.
See if you can find the treats.
There's one in one of the pepperonis.
Oh, he just found that.
It's right there.
Oh, there it is, Finley.
Yummy.
I thought it would be fun to do a little OG what I got for Christmas segment of this vlog.
I don't get dumb in the last few years.
But I got a lot of DMs, like, are we getting a what I got for Christmas?
Because I used to, like, as soon as we were finishing opening gifts, I would come in my
room, put on my makeup, and film this video and get it up.
That was, like, the YouTube thing back then.
I am just so grateful for these gifts.
And they were really, really thoughtful.
And so me.
And I've been loving watching other people.
So I thought I would put it in this vlog, if any of you care.
So these are the things I got for Christmas.
And I am so grateful.
So first off, in no particular order, my mom got me these salad bowls.
I'm so excited.
She got me four of them.
I have no idea where they're from.
But I love them.
She got me.
So they're perfect if you make a salad at home.
And, like, my other bowls aren't deep enough.
And so I only have really big bowls for, like, popcorn or, like, little bowls.
So this is the perfect bowl if you make pasta.
Because, like, I hate when you're eating and everything kind of falls out of the bowl.
This is so perfect.
Just, I'm so excited.
So thank you, mom.
She got me four of those.
Also on the kitchen topic, my dad got me these salt and pepper shakers that literally match
my kitchen so perfectly.
I think he said he got them from Bloomingdale's.
Like, if you know my kitchen in New York, this is literally the same kind of paneling,
I think it's called fluted wood.
I am obsessed.
I am truly obsessed.
Seriously, it's gonna look so good.
I'm always using salt and pepper, so it'll be nice to have it out on my counter and it,
like, looks like it's supposed to be there.
My brother got me such a nice gift.
He was so proud.
It was wrapped in a forward box, like, from Forward.
And he was literally so proud of it.
He was like, I hid this under the tree because if you saw it, you would, like, he just knew
I was gonna freak out if I saw something from Forward.
They have really nice stuff.
I got a passport cover from YSL.
I'm sorry.
And he got my mom a YSL wallet.
Like, so cute.
Like, it's this beautiful burgundy color.
Kind of matches my nails.
And I like it because obviously your passport goes here, but then there's some room for
cards.
Like, I have my global entry card.
You could put your ID, like, other things in there and another little flap as well.
But, like, how chic.
I freaked out.
I was shook.
My dad got me the TheraFace de-puffing wand.
This is something I wanted and I've already been using it.
I just put it back in the box for this video.
But it's amazing.
Brooke is the one who first told me about it.
It either gets super cold or super hot and it feels amazing.
Like, it literally feels like you took it out of the freezer.
So I'm really excited because it's perfect for travel.
Like, you don't have to worry about putting your ice roller in your hotel fridge or anything
like that.
It literally gets cold within, like, I would say five seconds.
And it gets hot within five seconds.
It feels so good.
Like, I have, like, a little makeup on and tonight I'm just gonna cozy up and do this
TheraFace.
So the cold is for de-puffing and then the hot is for, like, firming your skin and glow
and elasticity.
And I just put a little oil on my face and it feels...
I can't believe how good this stuff is.
My dad watched my Christmas wishlist video and in it I was saying how I wanted custom
stationery and Brooke actually already got me custom stationery for our Secret Santa.
But my dad also made this, which is so sweet.
I was like, oh my gosh, DMC.
And then, well, I'm not gonna show it, but he got me envelopes and on the other side
of the envelope it's, like, my address so I don't have to put the return address.
It's already there.
Um, but he decided to do one with a photo.
First of all, I don't even think I posted this photo.
I think I posted this on my story one time and he must have screenshotted it and liked
it.
Um, imagine getting a letter from me and it's like, oh hey.
It's just funny because it's not like a smiley.
It's like a, like a...
So, um, but I think it'll be funny if I'm, like, letting a friend borrow something and
I just put this in the tote bag with it.
Very funny.
My dad also got box ballin' for everyone in my family.
We all opened the box at the same time.
He got, like, the family pack.
I actually was playing with it last night.
It was pretty fun.
It's like you put this on your...
Oh, Finley's right here.
He's gonna see this.
You put this on your head and then you try to punch the ball.
I saw so many ads for this.
I saw the Kardashians do it, Tom Brady.
And my dad fell for it.
I mean, not fell for it.
Like, it's a fun thing.
But I feel like they had a big marketing budget.
This was a really fun surprise from my mom.
She got me the Heiress Tour coffee table book.
I am so obsessed.
Like, I wanted this so bad, I just...
I didn't get it.
I don't know why.
I was really wanting it and she said she was listening to Gals on the Go and I was talking
about it and how I didn't know if it was, like, super hard to get.
So she was driving and she pulled over and immediately went on Target's website and ordered
it because she was so nervous, like, she wouldn't get it.
So it was a really, really sweet surprise and, like, I love it.
I love going through it and seeing all the photos and seeing, like, what Taylor wrote.
And then she also got me this, like, made me cry.
This is a cutting board, but on it has her chili recipe with her handwriting etched into
the wood with, like, instructions.
And it says, enjoy on the bottom.
But mama's chili, because probably once a month I'll text her and be like, what's the
recipe again?
I don't know why.
I just can never get it right.
So that was so thoughtful.
It's, like, literally one of my favorite dishes to make.
And I actually am needing more cutting boards.
But then they were telling me maybe I don't cut on this side.
Like, I would cut on this side.
But isn't that what this is for?
Oh, my light just went out.
You know?
I tried.
I really...
I did try.
Okay, I was charging this light, but not for long.
And then the last thing that my dad got for me, which was so beyond generous, and I am
so excited, the Louis Vuitton, I believe it's the nice mini vanity bag, or nice mini BB,
nice mini...
It's the mini one.
So I think there's three sizes.
There's, like, a smaller one, and then there's a bigger one, and then there's this size.
I am so excited.
I haven't decided if I want to put my skincare in here or if I want to put my makeup in here.
I just ordered on Amazon.
They sell liners for the inside so that it's easier to clean.
Like, you just take it out, and, like, your makeup goes in the liner in here, and it's
supposed to fit perfectly.
I have wanted one of these for years.
I think they're so chic, like, when I'm traveling or even just at home, to have this out on
my counter.
I love how structured it is.
I am so grateful.
Like, I love her so much.
So comment down below if I should put my makeup or my skincare in here.
I think tonight, because tonight I just obviously dropped my aunt off.
Freddie's sleeping in his apartment tonight.
Like, I have alone time tonight because my dad's working until, like, 11.
I think I'm going to play around with this and, like, see if, like, all of my makeup
can fit in here or if I should go for skincare.
But regardless, I love her, and I am so grateful, and I'm just...
Oh, my aunt also got me these beautiful earrings from Mejuri that...
Well, I'll go grab them really quick because they're really cute.
My dad just brought this in.
We had a little mess up with the bacon this morning, so he immediately ordered this fire
blanket that I've actually been wanting.
So thank you, dad, so much.
That's a gift that I got for Freddie that didn't come in time.
So maybe I'll save it for his birthday.
But the last thing I wanted to show you guys were these earrings my aunt Debbie got me
from Mejuri.
I wore them yesterday on Christmas.
They are so beautiful.
I love a statement earring.
Ooh.
And so cute.
And she got me a couple other things.
So that was my little what I got for Christmas 2025...
2024.
Oh, my God.
It's not even 2025 yet.
But I do have lots to prep because I decided I'm having a New Year's Eve party at my apartment.
Just like a little house party vibe.
So I need to get into planning mode and order anything that I need there.
But I am going to shower.
You guys, I don't even know what I'm showing you, but my spray tan right now?
No, illegal.
I went to a local place here in Tampa that you just go in the booth and get...
That is foul.
That's foul.
So I need to do a big everything shower tonight and scrub and cozy up.
He wanted to come right outside.
I was just sitting here drinking my coffee and Finley literally gets on my lap like his
legs are dangling down there.
And he crawled on my lap like my heart.
It's just not, it's not good right now.
This is so sweet.
Thank goodness I have a dog because I try so hard to stay motivated, to be active when
I'm home, but I just want to be lazy.
But thankfully, pro tip, get a dog and you got to walk them like many times a day.
So this is the only activity I've been getting in, honestly, but it's okay.
It's fun to be chill while I'm home.
So let's talk about my room.
My room has seen all different vibes.
I've had my bed in the corner, but like the other way, I've had my bed there coming out.
I think I've had my bed here at one point.
It's been, I mean, there's an area, where is it?
Oh, right here.
You can see I had purple walls at one time.
I had like aquamarine walls one time.
And then of course I was like, okay, I just want cream.
So it's seen lots of phases.
This is the room I grew up in.
And I just feel like every time I come home, like I really like how this has turned out.
I think last summer, not this past summer, but last summer, I kind of, you know,
brightened it up a bit.
I got those pieces of art and just kind of changed it to a little bit more my vibe.
But I'm kind of wanting to make it more of like, not a guest room, like this is my room,
but more of an elevated, very simple vibe.
I mean, it's already really simple, don't get me wrong.
But like, for example, Ryan came last week and that's a full-size bed.
And it's tough, especially like the bed being in the corner.
Like it's doable, but like, he's a big man.
So it would be nice to move my bed to the middle right here.
So first of all, so both of us can get out of bed easily.
I would eventually like to get a queen bed in here.
But for now, I'm kind of thinking about moving the bed this way,
getting rid of this desk.
This is super old, got it secondhand.
It's great, it's like a whole corner unit.
But like, I don't, it's used sometimes, but honestly when I come home now,
I want to work in the living room so I can hang with my family.
Like this was great in college, but now I'm kind of like,
I don't really need it or maybe I would get a smaller one.
So I want to move the bed and I want to have a nightstand on either side.
I kind of want to see if I can get that same nightstand.
I literally got it on Amazon a few years ago,
so I want to see if I can get the matching one for that.
Um, and I kind of want to get like a dresser of sorts
because that would be nice.
So Freddy is actually very interested in this project with me.
So we might go look at some, like go to Target or something
and just check out what we can find and he's going to help me take this out.
But also like, is it worth taking all this out and not having to put anything in yet?
I don't know.
Or is this like a project for when I'm back?
Because I literally leave on Sunday and today's Friday.
I just, I feel like every time I come home I just throw my shit everywhere
and there's no place for anything.
So I don't know.
I don't know if what I'm saying is making sense,
but I'm kind of dabbling with this idea of that project.
So I am headed to my mom's yoga class,
um, which is very, it's honestly monumental.
I do not go to enough of her yoga classes.
Every time I tell people, you know, my mom's a yoga teacher,
they'll say, oh, you must go to so many of her classes.
That's so nice.
I actually don't.
And it's not something I'm particularly proud of.
Um, I literally, I just feel like I get all of the goodness
from her yoga classes, her meditation classes,
from being her daughter and being with her all the time.
But that definitely isn't an excuse for not going to her classes.
My mom is always so gracious and like understands.
Like yoga just isn't my thing.
Like it never has been.
Um, but that doesn't mean like I can't go to my mom's class.
Like she would do absolutely anything for me.
And I can't even get my butt to one of her yoga classes.
Like I do support her, I feel like in so many ways,
but I don't go to a lot of her classes.
And I, I'm not proud of that.
So anyways, we're going to go to one of her classes this morning.
I just told her that I'm coming and she is beyond thrilled.
And I think it'll be a really nice start to the day.
I just went for a really long walk with Finley.
It's hot in Florida today.
Like it's warm. I'm toasty.
So I'm a little sweaty.
But it'll be nice to go to her class and then potentially
meet my brother at like Target or somewhere to look at furniture.
But I just don't know if I agree with his route of like
get the stuff, bring it home, and then we empty out my room.
I feel like I should empty out my room first
and then bring the stuff in.
Like I think I'm right in this.
But it's cute that he's so into it.
So I'm kind of like, should I, I don't know.
That's what's going on.
Headed to the class.
Oh, I still need to do a Volvo car door.
I do.
She did it.
I was pretending.
She came. That's what's most important.
I know.
My daughter finally utilized my services.
Well, I was telling them that I just get it all the time.
Like when I'm on the phone and stuff.
Yeah, sort of.
But this is deeper.
It was lovely.
And then she was like, this is my daughter.
I couldn't resist.
Of course.
They were probably like, who is this girl?
When I like walked in a couple minutes late.
All black.
Like they were probably like, what is going on?
And I couldn't get still during the meditation.
She was like.
But at the end, my mom has taught like hundreds of classes
at this point.
Probably thousands.
I don't even know.
And at the end I go, good job.
Like it was your first class.
I have you guys on my car.
But that was so fun.
Came to First Watch for a little post-yoga brunch.
We both got some decaf coffee and some kale tonics on deck.
We love it.
Wow, this looks so good.
I love yours.
It's very simple.
Pancake, egg, bacon.
It's all you need.
All I gotta say, if you need a confidence boost,
God willing, go visit your grandparents.
I just visited my grandpa after lunch
and my mom at this new retirement community he moved to.
Biggest confidence boost of my life.
He was like, hey Dick, this is my granddaughter.
I was telling you about Danielle.
Wanda, come here.
This is Danielle.
Isn't she beautiful?
Like, so sweet.
We don't deserve grandparents.
They're just so sweet.
And I'm just so grateful.
I do not have all of my grandparents in my life anymore.
I only have a few.
Because I have like a lot of step-grandparents.
So sweet.
And I am so grateful.
And this is just a reminder that
if you have the ability
or if any grandparents are still in your life
to go visit them
because I literally stopped by for like 45 minutes
and I just know it made this whole week.
And it made mine.
He's so cute and funny
and just so happy.
So I'm gonna go get Starbucks
because he gave me a Starbucks gift card for Christmas.
And I saw him on Christmas too.
But seeing him today, I was like,
I should go use that gift card.
Get a coffee.
And we're gonna go back and see Finley
because I haven't seen him in a couple hours
and I miss him.
I'm having a drought.
Car tour is still coming,
but oh my gosh,
having Apple CarPlay is life-changing.
Let the car tour commence.
So Volvo so graciously loaned me a car for the week.
Like I seriously keep pinching myself.
Like my whole family is like,
I cannot believe
they are just letting you drive this around for the week.
I'm like, me either.
So I used to have a 2015 Volvo XC60.
It was black with like a black and brown interior.
And they loaned me an XC60,
which is just,
it's the perfect size.
I just love how it drives.
I just feel so comfortable in it.
But I just wanted to show you guys the inside.
I mean, you kind of saw it because,
you know,
let me tuck this in
because that's just not it.
Like I was dying to do like a stock my car with me video,
but you know,
this is not my car
and I don't need all those essentials
if I'm just driving it for a week.
But this is the interior.
It's honestly sexy.
Like this,
whenever I get a car again one day,
this will be the interior.
Like black steering wheel,
some black here.
And then this like chocolate brown interior
is just so good.
So good.
It's actually so interesting right here.
I should have like cleaned this beforehand.
Like climbing in right now.
To turn on the car,
you actually just turn this to the right,
which is so interesting.
Like my Volvo used to press a button right there.
And then this is the Prindle,
as I call it.
I don't even know what the real word is for,
but I love how it's clear.
It's beautiful.
And when you park the car,
you just press this
rather than putting it in P,
which is so different for me too.
The screen is stunning.
Like hello.
And they're like,
it's huge too,
but it's not too distracting.
Like I feel like sometimes Tesla's,
the screen is ginormous,
which is a good or bad thing
depending on what your preferences are.
But I mean,
YouTube,
I haven't even played around with this.
Like I feel like that's kind of dangerous.
I don't know.
But maybe if you can only play it
if you're parked or something,
I know some cars have those rules,
but I'm obsessed with CarPlay.
CarPlay was not a thing
when I had a car.
And I love it.
The speaker's so nice.
I mean,
you're looking at it.
And this is the backseat again,
just oh,
so stunning.
This just reminds me so much of my car
because I literally had this car
just like,
I don't know if you guys care,
but I did a car tour a long time ago
when I got my car
and a lot of people tell me
that's how they found me on YouTube.
So I've always loved to have all those,
have this in the trunk.
So if you have like groceries or something,
you just,
I'm doing this one handed and it's hard,
but you would just hook it there
and then it's a shade for your groceries
or if you just want to not show the world
whatever's in your trunk,
I think that's awesome.
So this is the XC60.
There's also the XC90,
which,
you know,
it's a little bigger.
But yeah,
that's my little car tour
and I just love her so much.
I actually haven't sat back here
and I didn't realize
that's,
that's really nice.
There's also heat seaters
for the backseat,
which is crazy.
Hey guys,
what's up?
Welcome back to Gals on the Go podcast.
Oh my gosh,
I have Gals on the Go
on this screen right now.
I don't even know
what Wi-Fi is connected to right now.
Now I want like a u-log.
Can I do full screen?
Oh my gosh,
cute!
Volume down a little.
Like,
okay,
sleigh.
That's crazy.
Good morning,
everybody.
It's Saturday morning.
It's my last day here,
my last full day.
Then I fly out
in the morning
back to New York
because I have
a New Year's Eve party
to do,
to throw.
I'm so obsessed with this
TheraFace de-puffing wand.
I've been doing it
on the cold setting
this morning,
but then I like to switch
to hot.
Honestly,
the hot
feels better.
I just put a little
oil on my face.
It gives like
the summer Fridays
oil.
Oh my God,
the warmth like this
hits different.
The cold is nice
because it's de-puffing.
The hot
doesn't de-puff,
but like
if,
if I have a headache
or something like
I will be using this.
Like,
I wish I had two
to go at the same time
and I haven't even
charged this yet.
It came charged,
which is so nice.
But,
about to take Finley
for a nice long walk
aka my workout
as well.
And then I have
some errands to run.
I got my mom
and Aunt Debbie
sweatpant jeans
from Rag and Bone
for Christmas
and I just didn't
do it right.
They both wanted them.
But my aunt prefers
like the slimmer
fit ones.
They're like
straight leg
whereas the ones
I got them
are like super baggy
and then my mom
just needed a size down
so I really messed up there
but that's okay.
So I
am exchanging them
and like I have to go
to the post office
and do all that.
I have a return
for myself.
I have to go to UPS
and I just want to enjoy
one last morning
of errands
in my Volvo
before
I have to give it back.
But yeah
oh my god
also
how
cute is this
workout dress
from Abercrombie?
Their activewear
line is so good.
I'll have this
linked on my
LCK
by the time
this is posted.
It's like a
bubble skirt
exercise dress
like you're kidding me.
We just got back
from our walk.
It is hot
in Florida today.
Of course
I'm leaving tomorrow
but I just texted
my family group
and I was like
beach?
Like we're thinking
about taking Finley
to the dog beach
but I'm like
literally sweating.
I feel like yesterday
when I went on a walk
too I was sweating
so when I sweat
when I
maybe I'm a little
dehydrated
I am going for
my Element.
I travel with this
like it's literally flat
because it was
in my bag
like I always
have these with me.
My friends know
Danielle's you have
an Element
I got my family on it.
It's amazing.
This is my all-time
favorite flavor.
This is citrus salt.
It is so tasty
like I actually
want to drink it.
Some of the amazing
things about Element
so this has
a thousand milligrams
of sodium
200 milligrams
of potassium
and 60 milligrams
of magnesium.
I actually love
there's magnesium in here.
There is no sugar
which is the big draw
for me for this.
There's also no coloring
no artificial ingredients
no gluten
no filler
just no BS
honestly.
Element can help
prevent and eliminate
headaches
fatigue
and other common
symptoms of
electrolyte deficiency
so I'm a big fan
or if you like
went out the night
before
this is definitely
my best friend
in the morning.
So this is
like cold water
you can put with ice
too obviously
if you want
but this is just
cold water
and the citrus salt
and it's like
I chugged this
there's also other
ways to drink
your element
they have sparkling
electrolyte water
which you guys know
my friend just
stocked with
that is so good
because I love
a bubbly drink
mix the electrolytes
it's just perfect
and then they also
for since it's like
the colder months
not in Florida
but you know
when I'm back
in New York
I have my element
chocolate medley pack
which has a ton
of different chocolate
flavors and it's served
hot which is really
good so it's like
you have your hot
element and you're
cozied up and you're
still getting your
electrolytes in it's
very very cool
thank you so much

if you know like
Oh Danielle loves
her citrus salt box

citrus salt element

try out but I
suggest starting
with a citrus salt
as a personal
favorite they also
offer no questions
asked full refunds
on any order like
you don't even
have to send it
back so no worries
anyways I'm gonna
drink my element
and we're gonna run
some errands and
then we might like I
said go to the dog
beach so I'll be
nice and hydrated
post-office run done
and that was so
easy and they were
so nice and cheery
and they were just
like have a happy
new year so love
that for me
obviously can't run
errands without doing
a coffee pick up so
I'm at kawa coffee
roasters and I
really want to film
one of those cute
videos where your
phone is over top
and it's like the
over the head
like this to the
song surround sound
that was a really good
example though I'm
sure you guys really
knew what I was
trying to say also
story time this is
just craziness to me
comment down below if
this has happened to
you Ryan just called
me so Ryan couldn't
Ryan's back in New
York he could not
get back into his
apartment last night
hold on I have to
order now
anyways back to the
bullshit Ryan calls
me last night he's
trying to get into
his apartment for like
an hour and a half
his roommate when he
left for the holidays
Ryan left before him
locked the deadbolt
which I guess normally
they only lock the
bottom lock but like
you should be able to
lock your deadbolt when
you leave for like a
longer period of time
whatever Ryan could
not get in like his
key works for both the
deadbolt and the
regular key but it was
just not working he
was trying for an hour
and a half he was
calling his super no
answer so I finally
called him and was
like you just should
go sleep at my
apartment so I told
my doorman give Ryan
a key obviously they
know him already I
just wanted to make
sure they'd let him
in so he slept in my
apartment last night
I was like send me
pics like that's so
fun I mean it's not
fun because he's like
annoyed but you know
kind of fun and then
he finally got ahold
of him this morning
his super's like okay
I'll send someone from
the building to come
fix this deadbolt for
you or like get it
open it seems to be
rusted or something
and the guy from the
building gets there
and he's like oh
sorry like it's in
your lease that we
don't cover deadbolts
like it's up to the
tenants discretion if
they want to use the
deadbolt I'm sorry
that's not what I
feel so bad for Ryan
right now so now he
has to wait for a
locksmith and he's
gonna have to pay for
it like that's just so
evil it's like hey
here's a refrigerator
and it's up to your
discretion if you use
the freezer and if the
freezer breaks that's
on you like Ryan
doesn't own that unit
he's renting I'm so
mad and he's so mad
but I think I'm more
mad I'm like this is
craziness so but
maybe this is normal
and I don't know
anything but I don't
know my dad too was
like that seems
unethical but he was
like I signed the
lease but like who
would think to look for
the deadbolt rule I
don't know anyways
I'm fired up and I
got two coffees because
I wanted to try both
and I got a regular
one so one with
caffeine and one
decaf and I want to
film a cute like over
the top video over the
top it's not gonna be
over the top you know
I'm trying to say like
a cute like go to my
Instagram to see if I
posted it I also just
took like 20 minutes
trying to film this
over-the-head video
thing where I like put
on lip balm drink my
coffee like I think it
actually might look
cuter if you have a
friend in the car with
you but I I don't have
my friend also I got
my hair done right
before I came home for
the holidays and I did
say I want warm more
warmer tone what do we
think I feel like it
looks better when I'm
tan but it's actually
fun and different I
don't know normally I
do like a cool tone so
I'm just trying to
figure out my vibe I'm
sorry to remind myself
of when I first got my
driver's license and I
was like I'll do any
errands like anything
you guys need like I'm
just like oh I could
use some cash I just
stopped at the ATM just
because like I love
driving around one more
stop I'm picking my mom
up her favorite chocolate
almond milk stuff from
our favorite juice
tree and then bring it
home and then I want to
go to the dog beach I
think that's the perfect
thing to do today got my
mom hurt they didn't
have chocolate but they
had vanilla and they
were saying she could
just put cacao powder
and if she really
wanted then I got
myself a green juice
lots of liquids to go
around so I got my dad
these speakers that look
like rocks and they're
solar powered and I
you don't even have to
charge them they charge
in the sun which is
especially perfect in
Florida so my dad just
paired the both of them
and we're going to find
a place for them in the
backyard and test them
out I'm so excited I
think they're going to
there's gray or this
color and I think this
color blends better with
the stairs with the
patio don't you agree
dad I think it's nice
for now let's just let
them charge up okay but
we need to have them
face us like face out
like I was thinking
like I don't know if
we'd be typically out
here in the grass oh
that blends perfectly I
crushed that oh my god
the only way you can
really see them is
because the solar panels
on the top I mean
Danielle let's see I
figured yeah this is
exactly what I pictured
one on this side one on
this side I think though
the Bluetooth should
work it's not super far
oh my god it looks so
good oh my god
oh my gosh
oh yeah let's play some
music dad how's the
weather up in New York
aha you're literally
going back tomorrow I
love that tick tock I
just made one Finley

over there okay we've
got the speakers on let's
see this one's definitely
on right now they're both
playing oh that's so
exciting yay dad this is
amazing it's like surround
sound sunshine gonna wash
my blues away oh my god

it
Finley want to go to the
beach do you want to go to
the car oh do you want to
go to the beach and the
car and see mama oh yes

beach
I gotta say my new platform
UFOs are crushing it in the
sand cuz sand doesn't come
on to my feet they're a
little high yeah it's
whatever my mom's unboxing
her new Tory it's like a
canvas color she's unboxing
her new Tory Burch tennis
bag maybe that velcro is on
to it or something oh it's
not it's not okay and then
how cute is that I gotta be
like a professional now
look at me that's so cute
mom I love that so I just
added curls to my hair and
like it's looking good I
slept in soft curls last
night but the Denver curls

makes me really like my
hair color like when it's
fully curled put a little
bit more makeup I didn't do
