moving across the country and decorating my new house to feel something

[Music] i ain't never felt a kind of love like this before You took all the worries from my mind [Music] Please forgive me if I [Music] [Applause] [Music] Good morning y'all Welcome to another vlog This week we are decorating my new place in Nashville I'm about to go try a new Pilates studio I'm going to Forza which is like the really really stunning one in Asheville Guys I was going yesterday and I was like "Thank God." I just went in like a weird funk I really needed a workout and to like kind of get back in my routine and I went and I got stuck behind a train for 35 minutes less than half a mile away from the studio So I missed my class Anyway we are going today I just made my coffee Look at how stunning she is Okay I'm trying to see if this setup works in the kitchen Yeah if y'all are new here subscribe It's going to be a ton of moving vlogs My house feels really good though It feels very clean It just [Music] perfect Guys I am loving my little office nook here Like there's something about it It's so cozy Like I feel like I should write a book here Like I'm just loving it I'm placing my final order cuz I just got some gift cards in Hi Bup Oh my gosh Fitz and I have really bonded even more The thing about Fitz is that Fitz is obsessed with anyone who wasn't me because he's with me at all times But I feel like taking him out of his environment and forcing him to really just be with me He's just really bonded more with me However anyone that isn't me he's still doing the same thing He's actually the world's greatest dog Like you guys just like don't even understand Anyone who meets him is like I am in love He's so perfect So here's the deal I'm having a hard time deciding if I'm going to do the brown chairs or the blue chairs Now the blue chairs are the ones that I actually have in Dallas And those would come this week and the brown comes next week And I'm impatient Am I going to like the brown i am doing more browns in there I think I should just do the brown Change it up a little Wait a couple more days My god I'm so brave I do have my curtains arriving today And we are getting dinner tonight with some friends cuz I think I'm actually after these meetings maybe going to go for a little run Forza the Pilates studio that I went to today is the most stunning workout place I've ever been to in my life You guys saw a little bit of it It is beautiful Like actually beautiful I'm also going to get like an outdoor dining set just cuz I feel like I will use that all the time And I want to go outside and like read in the morning and write and like I do have some furniture but not like I need like a table and like maybe I'll host a dinner party you know i keep going back and forth on this me cuz I do feel like that's a little bit dramatic It's a gift card though so might as well Okay so I'm going to get the brown chairs the outdoor dining set I'm getting a little linen board like corkboard for this office area and then I'm going to get this mag Quick little grocery haul restock I eat Greek yogurt and cottage cheese so much They are actually genuinely like my two favorite foods even though they sound kind of gross but they're the best Okay And then I got my favorite iced coffee Chobani creamer I just keep needing different spices That's one thing that really adds up grocery wise that I wish I mean I'm not going to like travel with my spices back and forth I feel like that's a little ridiculous but I'm just going to get the basics Jalapo cheddar for when I want to bake some sourdough some ground beef some sweet potatoes I'm making that viral Tik Tok meal everyone's been making And then of course goanas guys If you haven't tried gonanas you absolutely must Especially if you're having people over I have some bananas that desperately need to be made into banana bread This is a healthier version Oh you know what i don't have milk so I need to go to the store to get that Incredible It is incredible It's like a healthier for you banana bread Um I get mine at [Music] Sprouts Going on a little midday run I'm probably only going to do like 2 miles something really short But I'm going to check out a running path I have very specific rules when it comes to running I like to like where I run And I also need to run by water Like I can't just like step outside my front door and run Like I wish that I could I just can't do it for whatever reason [Music] Good morning y'all I left the house yesterday That was huge If you guys are around for my LA days I actually have a ton of my LA friends that live here now which is like really convenient I don't love how this is looking So last night we went to Curry Boys which I've been wanting to go to and Dom has really wanted me to go She like saw it on Tik Tok and told me about it It's so cute So good And then we went to Dino's and then I came home and here we are the next day really quickly actually just cuz I'm feeling generous and I'm looking at these right now cuz I'm trying to think of what I'm going to make for dinner I have my recipe journals with me They're my first things that I unpacked naturally They're from a brand friend of mine Normally this is a podcast only thing

work done and then I have a big production meeting at 11:00 and then I'm going to go get lunch with a new friend um in Franklin and I need to work out at some point I might try to book a format class in Franklin Like why does he look so evil he looks like he wants to kill me guys Like this is not okay Hi bub Hi Hi Okay And the drama is insane Insane He has the worst RBF you've ever seen Okay I'm getting on a production call right now for a friend of mine Ask your manufacturer Um if they come back at any time and they're like "So let's start with aprons oven mitts Those are officially in sample production." I saw the email back and forth last night that those look so good Like I really hope the quality is amazing cuz I can't even imagine there being I mean like I say that now I can't imagine there being an edit like there always is but like they look so good They're so cute And are you clear on the differences between the mits i had them do two different style or three different styles for you Yeah cuz some of them have silicone and some don't I typic I like the look without but actually for usage with mits like you need the you need that Yeah So Haley and I talked about this yesterday because like I love the actual and even with the tote bag like I kind of want to rework it to where it's more of a structured bag which that won't be like the hardest thing in the world to do Um I love the pouch and then I love the Kindle case My fear with the Kindle case is that we can't do every size so I know that's going to cause issues Um also just because there's like 15 different Kindle sizes and different it's just so difficult with them to where the tote bag is structured and then we want to do matching prints to potentially one that we're using for the aprons and depending on which ones we decide for that one But also uh we have so many different patterns So Haley what were you thinking for those two prints so what I was kind of thinking already that sounds good I have my marching orders on those couple items This is our hosting This isn't the final but this is like the hosting journal that we're releasing Um and then Haley did we want to talk about ornaments so I grew up with those like big Starbucks There's like a very specific Starbucks mug that like I'm very like nostalgic to and I'm very specific on the exact m I had coffee with my dad every morning with these mugs Like I need these exact mugs They're like the No it's like the early 2000s There's like kind of like a lip around like I'll send it to you They sell them on like Etsy and like Poshmark um and eBay You want like different dollies So it' be like Dolly normal Dolly like Country Dolly Christmas Dolly skiing Dolly Garden Dolly whatever it is Um but we want to do that on mugs and have Dolly on the outside and then down at the bottom of the mug like once you drink you can see like she has like a funny little message And then we have obviously like friend of mine around and then just make those kind of like the anthro icon glass where everyone's collecting them We want to make them more collector's items So we also do want to do um those mugs So main thing I think not that it's going to be like the hardest thing in the world but like I'm just so specific on the actual mug Awesome Great Thank you All righty Chat later Okay Bye Thank you I'm leaving the house to go to Franklin Franklin is the cutest neighborhood It's like 30 minutes outside of Nashville and it is like where I'm probably meant to be Um oh my god how convenient is this this is my outfit I don't love how these pants fit like literally at all I don't even know why I pack them They just like grab it all the wrong places But I'm kind of running out of clothes So they're daily drills This sweater is Abbercomi I've had this bag forever These flats by the way are amazing They're made well I love them I wear them 24/7 And then I'm just bringing my cute little sunglasses when I'm going to go on a lunch date with a girl that I follow on TikTok and I like love her home stuff [Music] back home Quick little haul time Had an hour drive home from Franklin just now It was like peak rush hour Set Active is like my favorite activewear brand Set Active and Ear of ours Look at how cute these shorts are are not tight enough to wear them to Pilates but I could definitely do like a little morning walk And then with the windbreaker guys this is just so good Oh my god I'm in love Like I need to wear this this weekend to the farmers market This is just so cute Abberrombie is having a spring dress sale I'll put the actual sale of what they're offering right now I don't know off the top of my head Um but I'll link everything below still cold in Nashville so I can't even really wear these But look at how cute this jacket is It's a denim dress which I have so many But this one's a little bit more structured There's more of like an hourglass figure You probably won't be able to tell until I put it on but as you can see maybe in the back it's a little bit more cinched This one I liked the prints of it I don't know how much I'm going to love like a shift cut but I thought this could be really cute like this in ballet flats like even the flats that I have on right now Um or like brown cowboy boots So fun I live in dresses in the summer This is a little out of character for me but I thought it was fun This print might be like too booby I don't know But I just thought like the little peppers like so fun It looks cuter on the side Like here it doesn't look great It's one of those you have to like really try on this little brown I love a high neckline And then I love how oh my god I'm gonna wear this so much this summer I might even wear this out tomorrow night It's a little too chilly I'm in a way better mood today and that's because I left my house and the weather is better Yeah And then I love a long sleeve moment So I thought this would be really cute as well Went to Meredes I don't know if that's how you pronounce it And I got these coffee beans and I got a new coffee maker that's coming here and they're blueberry but they smell so good So will this be good as a coffee honestly I have no idea But it smells amazing Even in the bag like the woman who was checking this out She was so cute But she was like "Oh my god it smells amazing It smells so good It is weird but I'm going to try it." We went into Whites Merkantile I also met one of y'all a vlog viewer CeCe my queen They were visiting for the weekend Um but I got some really cute stuff from them Also we need to get friend of mine in this store It is so friend of mine coded Was the cutest thing ever I've never actually had a honeypot before but like in this cottage cozy vibe that I have going on here I just needed this Okay like how cute And I want to be making tea So I'm going to get some tea and some honey at the farmers market this weekend Like so cute Now this caught my eye and I just loved it And I kept thinking to myself "Oh I don't even have measuring cups here Perfect I do have measuring cups here I remember them on the way home that I got in Fort Worth And so now I'm like I don't want to like accumulate so much stuff here because like I don't know how long I'll be here and I don't need that much stuff But with that being said I do love a lemon One thing about me I love stackable measuring cups And guys like this is so nostalgic of my childhood Like we always had this stuff around and it's just so cute I'm hosting a little dinner party on Sunday We are back in action One of the women working there said "Oh my god I see you love lemon Did you see this lemon plate and I couldn't deny her She's just stunning." Like and that is really the vibe of this place Okay And like I'll have this up Oh and I got this for lemons cuz I don't have a lemon squeezer This is a nice little lemon juicer And then like how cute These are the things you get excited about in your mid to late 20s Okay I'm 27 I feel like that's mid but I turned 28 in August and that's my late 20s So crazy Oh get me out of this decade I don't care Also little at home tour I had to do a return and then I picked up some other stuff Okay I needed a mug My dad loves Winnie the Pooh or like he did growing up So I got this cute little like Winnie the Pooh mug Um cuz I have that dining table and I will be hosting dinner parties here I did pick up some plates from At Home Now here's the thing These are so inexpensive They're the best They're very similar to the one Oh chipped They're $6 each They're very similar to the ones that I have in Dallas that I use all the time I don't need any other plates I love these So easy so simple That's really all I need for a dinner party So I got eight of them because I will I got a big table and like I have so many friends What am I going to do more stuff Then I just got some really inexpensive little kitchen mats cuz this is more of the vibe of this house These were like $6 $7 $8 something like that Guys cooking all day like genuinely really hurts my back Like I'm actually geriatric Kitchen towels and then little oven mitts Okay I'm going to go on a run cuz I haven't worked out today [Music] Okay this is the ugliest presentation of that viral Tik Tok meal Sweet potatoes ground beef avocado cottage cheese Oh and honey Got to add that This is the best thing I've had in so long I mean granted yes it's a few of my favorite foods Like cottage cheese Honestly like I love a beef bowl This is right up my alley But even with these being like some of my favorite foods it is so much better than I could have ever ever imagined Oh my god I have like a few go-to like healthy meals that I've been eating a ton lately and this one actually takes the cake This is number [Music] one Okay Working on a little patio makeover this morning My dining set has arrived So that's being built I'm probably going to move I love this table and chairs I don't know what I'm going to do with it but I'm going to move this probably over here We have this going Honestly a new rug here would like transform this place Love this little bench Like I'm just going to use this area so much It's so much space adding on to the house [Music] currently self-tanning I will say this was kind of a dumb decision because I definitely did not need to replace these chairs but I did buy replacement chairs They were inexpensive anyway for these just not realizing that these were like completely fine I wouldn't have replaced these chairs So I think in the photos that were sent to me of this house there just weren't chairs there or something like that My nose looks like insane I'm in a rental that was furnished and I'm just like switching some things out to like make it very me and cozy These since they're already here we are switching but very unnecessarily So I will [Music] agree Heat Heat [Music] [Music] Woohoo this new table it's so stunning Perfect for my dinner parties I moved that table down here so I can sit and watch Fitz play And then we moved that little like seat love seat I don't even know what I would call it We moved it over here My brain is just not working this week Um but having a girls dinner on Sunday so this will be so cute And eventually I should add a rug and then I'm done And maybe some lights But again I don't want to do too much as I keep doing too much But it looks so cute [Music] All right it's looking a lot better My new rug it actually isn't the exact same but it's very similar That is over there to kind of flatten the rug out Yes I should have had this up about 6 in but honestly getting it under here George helped was like next to impossible So yes it should be back 6 in but I just cannot deal with it right now And then I have very sheer curtains I like to wake up to natural light every morning so I don't need like blackout shades or anything It's actually like my worst nightmare I still need to figure out what I'm doing with this lamp situation But anyway my bedroom is done besides the lamps Like we are good to go It feels so much better in person You have to just trust me All right guys I just showered off my tan It's Thursday night at 6:45 p.m We were going to do dinner and like go out tonight but it's thunderstorming again And honestly I'm fine with that cuz I kind of want to like stay in bed and edit this video Also y'all I don't know if you know this but it has been a dream of mine to have hydrangeas Now it's next to impossible to have them in Dallas I actually do know people who have them and like I'm so confused and like I have so many questions but I had this thought today Oh my god I can probably have hydrangeas here Like I wasn't going to have plants here Like again this is a whole this whole vlog is me being like I don't want to go too crazy I don't want to accumulate too many things here I'm not here I don't know my it's not even I literally don't even know Like I don't know if I'm here longterm if I'm going to keep this up I don't know if I'm going to end it at 6 months Like I literally do not know Um so I didn't want to like collect too much stuff here but it's just like I'm going to sell it when I leave Anyway all that to say what what's the harm of two hydrangeanger plants okay I think I have to go to Home Depot tomorrow and I think we got to get the plans stat So I'm going to get to work editing this vlog and I think I'm going to Door Dash some dinner I don't know why I'm like really craving a margarita pizza It sounds so good It's a very cozy cozy night I love a storm when I'm like able to be cozy and it's not messing up my plans Natural ability that God gave you Happy Friday y'all I'm in my overalls which means we are off to Home Depot Off to Home Depot to get my hydrangeas I tried out a new workout class this morning I asked for some Rex and I tried out Shed cuz you guys recommended it to me and I really liked it So that's good Anyway we are off to Home Depot to get the hydrangeas I'm so excited And this afternoon I think I'm going to this like farm thing My friend has texted me and invited me And listen guys I am making so many friends here okay left and right So so so many friends Anyway I think I'm going to meet her friends and go with them today It sounds really cute And at first I was like "Oh no I need to work And then I thought about it I'm like I'm literally here to like put myself out there and like go live my life instead of just like sitting in like I can work whenever You know what I mean so it's like I I whatever I'll just do what I I'll be fine Okay The purpose of being here isn't to like lock myself away in that house You know what I mean [Music] found them I was so worried for a second I think I'm going to go with the blue Guys I'm so excited This is the best thing [Music] ever [Music] [Music] Heat Heat [Music] Heat Heat [Music] Heat Heat [Music] I hydrangeas They are so perfect Woman at Home Depot told me that they're going to change colors depending on the soil So I actually don't know what they're going to end up being But guys this was so worth it It was like 100 bucks 130 total And like I am thrilled [Music] Heat Heat [Music] [Music] First off y'all I'm very happy to report that the blueberry coffee is so good and this works Okay I added this over here to my office area I have this little corkboard very inexpensive on Wayfair I will link it And then I got another vase I have this vase and then I also have this vase Both from Amazon I definitely need to get some more Chrysanthemums and put them in here But they're really incredible vases for a really great price So I'm loving this It really feels like a home in here All right y'all So I'm feeling really great in my new home And once the chairs arrive I am like set Okay I'm starting to realize that I think I will be collecting quite a bit of stuff here And I'm trying so hard to keep it light Oh my gosh Like depending on what I do in Nashville guys I might just have like a yard sale when I eventually move out of here I really don't know You guys might be like "Why are you spending all this money?" Okay couple things Number one um Oh it's my sister Hello Hey sis Do you know your schedule for um you being in Nashville in May at all um I'm supposed to be at home most of May Like all of May Why ask her if you can do when you come for CMA Fest I thought that was in LA No CMA Fest is in Nashville and Okay that's what I thought But SoFi's just I know Oh yeah Yeah Yeah That's weird SoFi is a sponsor Yeah Sofi is in LA Dad just told me and I was like I didn't think it was in LA All right Love you Love you Bye Anyway transparently um a lot of it was a gift cards with different deals that I'm doing okay and then if I paid for it it's really inexpensive stuff that I'm just going to sell on Facebook Marketplace I have this place for 6 months I think I'll probably want to stay longer than 6 months So far I'm loving this whole living in two cities thing Sure I'm 9 days in but I'm having a good time And like aside from the drive back and forth which like I'm hoping that I end up liking that at some point I'm really liking it And then who knows maybe I will just really make it so big time to where I eventually buy a house in Tennessee Okay that would probably be the goal as of like this second of my life I don't know how I'm going to feel next week I literally have no idea A lot of the other stuff too that I have here I feel like I'm like explaining myself to my mom for like my spinning habits in like high school Um a lot of the other stuff that I brought here was stuff that I had in my old house like this lamp Like it was just like extra stuff that I had accumulated that I had brought over Like that rug was gifted That rug was 70% off My bedding was gifted Guys like I actually feel like I'm literally you guys are going to shoot me and that's why I'm like explaining myself So I'm getting picked up in an hour Out of nowhere have so many friends here It's been 9 days I haven't even really seen the friends cuz I've been settling in and just like with new people Like I haven't even really seen the friends just yet that are like my closest lifelong friends who live here Um but I got invited to this like farm popup thing in Franklin today So I'm going to go to that I'm really excited And then tonight I think we're going out which will be really good for me So anyways I'm just loving my little Tennessee life so far I did get really nervous right before coming and second guess everything and get really anxious but I think that was just hormonal I am going to get a little bit more work done and then get ready for Franklin I already laid out my outfit Like feel like I have a new lease on life almost you know all right y'all I'm off I'm wearing high-waisted jeans and this belt doesn't like cinch in enough I don't love the fit of these jeans but I need to do laundry Here's my look I'm going to Frankly my hair looks really bad but we're just going to ignore that and move on I'm going to throw on some earrings really quick Oh you know what i might do big earrings I added some earrings I should have put mascara on but I just like don't feel like it By the way this bag it's like under 100 bucks on Maidwell Such a good cute bag I'm like in love with it I love it brown and sweet [Music] [Music] Heat Heat
