Work-life diaries | starting a new channel, busy days at work

Can we hug? No. Ray. So as you can tell, my bangs have gotten quite long, and I need to trim them because they're covering my eyes. But the last time that I tried to trim them, I cut them a little bit too short. So that was the practice round. So this time, I believe they're gonna look a lot better. I'm a little bit too scared to cut them more. Erdner. That was a huge chunk of hair. What am I doing? Okay, great. I'm gonna just call it a day. I just need to stop. Oh my God. I actually chopped off a significant portion of hair. Let's just blow dry this. I am so over this. Oh, I'm being dramatic. To vlog my shoes today. I just got home from work, and I am doing a very quick retouch on my makeup because my sisters are coming over. They'll be here in like less than 30 minutes. And we are going to film some videos together. I kind of teased it on my Instagram story the other day, but big news, I am starting a new YouTube channel. This new channel is going to be with my sisters, Alice and Leona. Alice is my older sister, Leona is my younger sister. We've been actually wanting to do this for a while, but timing just never really matched up. And these days for the past couple of months, we've been seeing each other at least once every single week, if not more than that. We yap a lot. We're obviously very close. And so we thought that it was time. So now outside of this channel, which is not going away, I will also have a second channel with my sisters. We are going to be called the Doremi girls. And I think by the time that this video is out, we will at least have the intro video up, if not the first official video, which is a little juicier. It's going to be about my love life. So if you guys like hearing me yap, and you just want to learn more about me and my dynamics with my sisters and just have more fun, lighthearted content, you can give us a follow. And I will link our new YouTube channel and video down below in the description box. I've been really liking this powder cushion by Laneige, especially when I'm filming because it is kind of like a pressed powder, makes your skin look a little bit more matte. And it has like this blurring finish. So it really minimizes my pores and it's just super easy to apply. I feel like sometimes powder can be very challenging. There's like a big learning curve, but this one is super easy. For lips, I've been really liking this combo. So I first go in with a lip liner from MAC. I kind of over line it just a little bit. This is in the shade Whirl. I kind of blur it out with my fingers. Then I top it off with this NARS lip gloss. Just a little bit here. And then on kind of like the Cupid's bow almost. Just a subtle shine. And this is in the color Dolce Vita. Easy bake setting spray from Huda Beauty. I think I did so much better with the trim this time around. Last time, I was just so embarrassed to even go outside because it was so short. Before my sisters get here, I wanted to give you all a very quick update on my dating life. So in my last video, I mentioned that it's been a couple of months. I had a little crash out in Europe. And now after coming back, I actually feel pretty good to put myself back out there and start to date again. So I downloaded Hinge. And I want to give a big thank you and shout out to Hinge for sponsoring this portion of today's video. Given everything that I've been sharing around my healing journey and being ready to date again, it honestly feels like the timing could not have been any better. The other night, my sisters came over and we literally put my Hinge profile on the big screen on my TV. And we just went through and analyzed every single prompt and photo. And while the feedback was very helpful, but also very funny, it allowed me time to pause and reflect on how I really wanted to show up in dating again. I used Hinge before my last relationship, so it feels familiar, but the app's definitely upgraded. The prompts especially make it easier for me to share more of my personality. And I really feel like I can showcase more of who I really am. And that's exactly why I love Hinge. It's not just about rushing into the next relationship. It's about dating with intention, finding clarity and making meaningful connections along the way. As you all have witnessed through the videos, it's been a tough couple of months. It's been difficult, but I genuinely feel very excited and extremely hopeful for this next chapter of my life. So if you're also looking to put yourself back out there, I am here with you. And you can download Hinge to start building connections that actually feel meaningful. This is the current situation. Oh, she just announced her new album on the podcast. See, they gatekeep Taylor Swift, and I'm so scared to say I even listen to her music because it's either 100 or zero with you guys. It's kind of crazy. No, I didn't. Today, we are filming the first episode of our... Hey, hey, I'm talking. Hey. Today, we are filming the first video for our new channel. What is it called, girls? You're dull. Dull. Ray. Girl. This is a sneak peek. Make sure to subscribe and be notified for when our first video drops. This is dinner. Tonight, I just wanted some soup, so I actually made a clear broth udon. It's just with some dashi stock and dried kelp. And I made some teriyaki chicken skewers with oyster mushrooms and scallion. And then, I made Japanese addictive cabbage, or I think it's called yamatsuki cabbage. I definitely butchered that, but it is so good. I can literally eat this entire thing. It's super simple, but so addictive. I think that's why it's called addictive cabbage. It's so flavorful. It is so good. I'm currently at the airport, and I actually brought my DJI, but I forgot the micro SD card for it. It's been such a crazy week at work, and I literally finished packing like an hour ago, and then I planned out the fastest route to LGA. I also don't know what got into me. I never fly out of LGA, but somehow I booked the ticket here. There's no good public transportation to get to LGA. I'm currently running on four cups of coffee and four hours of sleep. I also was not gonna bring my laptop on this batch trip because I took tomorrow off, but I ended up bringing it anyways. It's just so much to do, so many fires to put out. My first bachelorette. And there's a hurricane. Oh, it's a hurricane. Wow, so cute.
