He was just smiling at me. I swear now
he's not. Fitz, just say you're a human,
please. He was smiling at me. I swear.
It's so It's so crazy.
>> Like right here.
>> Yeah.
No, that's kind of perfect.
Good morning y'all. Happy Monday.
Welcome to another week in my life. I
had the best Sunday reset last night.
It's now 6:00 a.m. I'm actually about to
go to the grocery store. Last night, I
went through all of my closet. I'm
donating 10 bags of stuff. I switched
over my seasonal stuff. Like, I just
feel like a million bucks. This is going
to be such a good week. I finally have
everything organized back from my house
in Tennessee. We went to Austin this
weekend. So, I got a ton of stuff done
yesterday when we got back. And now I
just feel amazing. It's currently 35°.
like a burglar with these. I'm like
going to rob the house and have alone.
I'm insecure. Good morning, y'all. It is
now Tuesday morning. Yesterday, after
what you saw, I was I was so sick. I
thought I just woke up feeling sick and
I was going to feel fine and then I went
to the grocery store for my workout and
I was in bed the rest of the day. Like,
I don't know if it was like the weather
change or what. Um, speaking of
actually, this stuff actually really
helps me
see immune revival and not get sick.
Anyways, we cannot get sick. I have so
much happening this week. We've got the
apron launch. I've got a maj that I'm
hosting. We're hosting a sourdough
baking class here on Thursday. I'm going
to Billy Bobs on Friday. Like, I have a
lot happening.
I'm also shooting Christmas at my house
today. Then we have a big friend of mine
shoot tomorrow. So, busy, busy, busy. I
transition to hot coffee. We'll see how
long this lasts. It's 30° outside, so
I'm really kind of bundled up. I forgot
how comfortable Huffers are. Like,
they're actually the most comfortable
sheets ever existed.
Okay, guys. My whole house is actually
very organized besides this bathroom.
This is the next step. I'm going to give
myself the blowout that I've been giving
myself the past couple of months. The
lighting in here is tough, but I'm going
to show you guys the products that I use
and then we'll go into my closet and
like actually do my hair. I really don't
have that much time, so I'm hoping that
we can get everything done. I use all
Color products. They're my favorite.
Sometimes I'll use other like leave-in
conditioners. Okay, so I'm towel drying
my hair. I normally use an actual like
the gravair towel and that brush. Here's
just like a leave-in conditioner from
the way. I use a couple different ones.
It really just depends. Also, this
morning I put in this on our morning
walk. It's the Ollex like bond smoother.
I've actually never done a hair mask
where my hair is dry and it was weird,
but my hair has just been so dry and not
looking great. Yeah, I'm missing a
ColorW leave-in spray. I must have left
that.
Now, we're going to go in with this
dream cocktail. It's a carbon infused
like thickening treatment.
And I just put this throughout my hair.
Here's the key. I think this, if you're
getting any product, it's this one. It's
the ColourW Extra-Large Bomb Shell
Volumizer. I actually have multiple of
them. So, I'm going to try to go through
this one. I I I normally just spray it
directly onto my hair. I will say I
definitely have to wash my hair more cuz
I'm using so much product. But like for
the really bouncy, effortless blowout
that I do, I need a lot of that mousse.
I also go in with the dream coat and I
spray this all over my hair. I'm going
to have everything on my shop my under
blowout links for every single product
cuz sometimes I don't have everything.
Um, in case you guys are interested,
maybe I've talked about something
somewhere else.
Okay, I'm going to put it in this little
hair microfiber towel to dry a little
bit more. Guys, this weekend I went
through my closet. I saw the comments
about how my house was cluttered last
week. Trust me, it was giving me such
bad anxiety, but it was because of the
move. So, anyway, I went through Sunday
night 10 extra large bags of like just
trash bags of donations. I've donated
all of it. It feels amazing. Like, I can
actually think and breathe. We're going
to go do the garage later this week
whenever I have a little bit more time.
That's not going to take a ton of time,
but I feel like a brand new human being.
Like, so amazing. I switched over my
closet, so it's like fall and winter
clothes now. All my sweaters are out.
It's just fabulous. And I also got some
new stuff that I have ready to show you
guys on a haul from Aritzia, but it's
just the cutest stuff ever. Then I just
go through and I'll dry my hair. I use
the Dyson hair dryer. I do find that
this is fast. There's also a color
product that like makes your hair dry
faster, but I feel like that has to just
like be horrible for your actual hair
health. So, anyways, I'll go through and
I'll dry it completely. These microfiber
towels are amazing though. Like, I use
them every single day.
My hair is dried probably 6 minutes
later. Oh, I always use the Crown Affair
brush, by the way. I do use other ones
whenever it's wet, like a tangle teaser
or whatever that might be. But this
brush I just find makes my hair actually
look silky. And I a lot of this
hairstyle is me brushing through my hair
24/7. I have two of those big ones and
then I have two mini ones that I just
keep in my purse literally at all times
and I will not like that is my number
one holy grail product. Will not leave
the house without it. Like it's up there
with lip balm. Like that is how close it
is. So I'm separating it into two
pieces. I typically use an MJ clip for
this but I don't have one on me right
now. Now we are getting into the part
where you just have to trust the
process. This takes me about 10 minutes.
I curl every piece sides the front two
pieces inwards towards my face.
I use this 3-day bender. I've had this
curling iron for probably 10 years at
this point. It's such a good one. And
then for hairspray, it's the Color Wild
Texas Holdem Big Hold Hairspray. I
hairspray so much. And I will say like
this hairspray is unreal. And you will
never like whenever I have to wash my
hair or like redo my hair, it's never
because my curls have fallen. Just cuz
the hair has gotten greasy from all the
product.
so much hairspray.
But this is how I get my hair to be big
because my hair does not have any good
natural volume literally at all. And
then I just brush through all of it.
Okay, so I'll be honest. I put more
hairspray in than I normally would. This
is a little excessive cuz you can like
literally hear it as I'm brushing it
out. At this point, I go in with a hair
oil. This is my favorite hair oil. It's
a kerostos. No, it's a Orbe gold less
nourishing hair oil. A little goes a
long way. And I just put it at the ends.
And then I'll go through shocker with
more hairspray once it's actually styled
how I like it. I need a haircut really
bad. So like my hair isn't looking
absolutely amazing yet, but it at least
is kind of giving a little healthy. It's
actually really not that voluminous. Of
course, every time I film it for you
guys, it doesn't look that great. When I
don't film it is when it looks amazing.
This is the texture spray, which I
honestly forget about always.
But y'all, start to finish, showered and
hair done. That was like 30 minutes,
like including dry and everything. But
anyways, I do like my hair like this
better. But that's the general vibe. I
put too much product in today, I think,
just because I was filming and I got a
little carried away. But I do prefer my
hair this way. Like it's the actual only
time that I do my hair and I like it
better than how someone else would do
it. So today I'm actually about to leave
to go film a deal at a Christmas store,
which is exciting. And then this
afternoon I'm going to have a ton of
work and things that I need to get done
and filmed. But this afternoon we're
actually shooting the house for
Christmas. So I did that last year as
well. It's just nice to have one for me
and two we need it for different work
stuff. are going to see a lot of sneak
peeks to friend of mine products which
like I am really truly on fire for
friend of mine right now. The stuff that
we have coming is just like I cannot
even express to you how good it is. So,
we're shooting that pretty much all week
and you guys are really going to love
it. I'm not doing like my makeup for the
shoot right now because I just don't
feel like actually wearing that much
makeup. So, just doing a little bit
currently.
Really, at the end of the day, I just
need a haircut, but it's okay. Anyway,
the closet feels so much better. Like,
not necessarily on this side because I
still need to organize some drawer
space, but it is truly night and day.
And just like mentally, I feel so much
better. I don't know where my sweater
went. Guys, I'm wearing the Julia Bianc
sweater. If you guys don't follow Julia,
she is the best. That's who I got the
wafer uh dresser wreck from on her page
and I just like really went with it.
Okay, the only white pants I have are
these. They're a little too baggy and
they need to be worn with heels and I'm
not doing that today. Um but she just
always has the best Rex. Okay, and I saw
her wearing the sweater and I was like,
I need that. I actually ordered green
shoes in general cuz I just don't have
green shoes. But let's see. I guess I'm
just going to wear normal like black
ballet flats. These are from Maidwell.
These are definitely not the right jeans
for this. I will be the first to admit
it. They're too baggy, but
it's okay. Who cares? Literally love the
sweaters from Dillards, which guys,
Dillards. Do not sleep on Dillards.
Their Christmas stuff is so good, like
outfit wise. And then those like two
sets that I had in green and blue with
the big bow up here, super southern. I
wear them for like friend of mine
events. They're so cute. They're back
there. Also, Dillards. Like, we are
sleeping on Dillards. Great clothes.
This is amazing. They also have this in
like a maroon color. I just love this.
Hi y'all. It's later in the afternoon.
I've changed back into my new
Reformation dress. I'm in a holiday look
cuz we're about to shoot the house for
Christmas. And actually, friend of mine,
we are launching wrapping paper
literally next week. So, actually by the
time you guys are watching this, within
like a couple days. So, I wrapped a
bunch of our wrapping paper presents. We
have Dolly skiing. This one isn't even
the cutest of all of them. We have
gingham, our blue TW, this Christmas
pattern, Dolly, this other TW, and then
Dolly skiing. They're so cute. So, I'm
really excited about that. Oh, I think
the photographer's here. We're about to
shoot all the Christmas
Just made dinner. This area is so
incredible. I play Olivia Dean. We made
this really good pasta in my recipe
journal. I'll show you guys tomorrow.
It's like a high protein healthy cottage
cheese thing. I don't know. It tastes
incredible. So good. I brought this back
from Nashville and it's so cute. Here I
have my little majong setup over here,
guys. Like how adorable. I don't know
why there's two pillows over here. The
landscaping. We've really got to get a
hold of this. We've really got to get a
hold of this. But the dolly mat. She's
everything. But this entire outdoor
area. Best thing I ever did. I do need a
rug that'll really tie in this this
space. But best decision ever.
Good morning, y'all. Back out here. I'm
here literally 24/7. It is currently
6:30. I am going to get a little bit of
work done. Oh, I started a new book last
night, guys. I have been in the worst I
have eye patches. The worst book slump
of my life. Like, I truly truly have no
idea what's going on. And the past
couple of days, I've barely even been
needle pointing. It's been tough. It
has. Anyway, like the past couple of
months, I would say since like early
summer, it is so hard. I start so many
books and I just don't finish them,
which is so not like me. I start the
sample. Like I don't like actually start
the book because I'm one of those people
that like if I start a book, I have to
finish it for like my good readads goal
at least. But I don't know. Anyway, I'm
reading this book right now and like I
won't say it's the best book ever. And
like really it's going to be completely
dependent on what the ending is because
I don't know. I don't want to spoil it.
But there's a way that this book gets
really bad and it's basic. It's called
The End of Her. I'm halfway through
right now. It's Sher Lepina, which I
like her. That's how you say her name. I
actually don't know. But now that I'm
remembering her, I feel like it's going
to be better. So far, it's fine. I'm
enjoying it. And it's fine. So, reading
that. This is a friend of mine. Um, this
is actually the first sample of a Kindle
case. I don't know if I've shown you
guys this. The uh actual samples which I
have today cuz we're shooting them have
our like like at shop friend of mine and
stuff back here. We have three prints
and we're going to have them for two
different devices and I just think that
they are so cute. Y'all have been
requesting Kindle cases for the longest
time and it's just perfect for the fall
and winter. And I have my coffee. So
perfect.
Anyway, I've got to get to work, get
some things done. I have to edit some
brand deals and I need to send in I need
to finish like the title and thumbnails
and all that stuff for this week's
podcast episode with Ashley Cook, which
is going to be so good.
I was going to say I'm gagged, but I've
never said that before in my life. I
just got our final We're doing a
collection of Maong Wats for winter.
We're doing three and I just got the the
very last one in the collection. And
when I say like I don't know, I truly
didn't know if we were ever going to be
able to like outdo the Dolly Garden. And
granted, like you need both because
they're different seasons. But guys, you
are going to die. Okay, so I need to get
ready for my workout in like 3 minutes.
Today we are shooting the new Kindle
cases, a needle minder, which I've shown
you guys. I'll show you guys again. Um,
wrapping paper. We are launching
wrapping paper Tuesday, as you guys
know. What else are we shooting today?
We're shooting a bunch of stuff. Um,
updated family cards, maybe a little
updated of the book club cards, just
getting a bunch of like social stuff
done. Just so you guys know, we are for
the entire month of November, buy two
get one free when it comes to paper
goods. So, the recipe journals, the
recipe binders, the um dinner cards,
night cap cards, family cards, all the
paper goods, all in there. Also, for
those who are asking about the pink
recipe journal, we have discontinued
that print and we are going to be coming
back out with the pink recipe journal in
our custom TW. That won't be happening
for a couple months. So, if you're
wanting something by holiday, I would
get either the pink recipe binder or one
of the other two prints of the recipe
journal. I'm so sorry about that. The
new print will be better, but it's like
just not happening right now. But I'm
just so excited. Like I feel like every
week I'm even more and more excited
about a friend of mine somehow. It's
just literally my dream brand. We have
so many launches in the next 6 weeks.
Like we are very very busy and this
stuff is just so good. What we're
working on for spring. Like guys, it's
truly so good. Also, I am pretty set on
doing a stitch tour in like April.
Updates to come on that. Um, absolutely
has to happen. I'm thinking five cities.
If you guys would want me to do like a
friend of mine stitch tour um in your
city, leave the comments below, please.
like let us know because I just think it
has to happen and also we can do like
pop-ups like we can like pop up with
product which would be perfect and it's
very true to the brand and fun and great
and whatever. Um but let me know like
what cities you guys want to see that
part of me is like do we like it feels
like it's obvious like we have to do it
in Dallas but I was thinking maybe like
Palm Beach, New York, Chicago. We have a
lot of Chicago girls. It's always my
most sold shows and stuff too. Um, but
yeah, it's going to be so excited. Next,
so excited. Next year is crazy for me
because my cousin Alyssa, she's
pregnant, by the way, guys. I don't know
if I told do that. She's having a baby.
Um, and my sister's getting married and
we have I have two international
weddings. We just have a lot going on.
So, I'm really trying to just get ahead
of my my calendar right now. But,
I have a feeling I really do think like
I'm not knock on one of the jinx. I
really think that 2026 is going to be
the best year of my life. Like, truly.
And I [ __ ] deserve it, guys, at this
point. My god. So anyway, I need to go
get ready. Time to get ready for my
workout. It's actually cold here now,
which is like my favorite time of year
to dress for workouts. Oh, guys, by the
way, while we are here, I don't think
we're going to have inventory of these
that much longer. So, if you want a hat,
grab a hat. We have our classic Dolly
hat. We have our classic breadwinning
housewife hat. And then we have this
really cute like brown gingham hat that
I am obsessed with. Dressing up for a
workout like in the fall winter just
feels very chic. I love this set that I
just got from form because I love like a
brown and blue combo. So just these
brown leggings and then this. I just
like wearing a coat over my workout
clothes. Like a long sleeve and a coat
and sneakers. Like it gives very like
Morgan Stewart to me. I don't even know
why but loving that. Okay, so this is
the form set. Guys, I don't know why I
cannot find my like long brown coats.
Like, do I not have that? That just
doesn't feel right. Like, I love
chocolate brown for the time being. I
have this bomber that's actually from
Set Active and it's like such a good
bomber. These are the best socks.
They're running socks. I got them on
Amazon, but I'm like die hard for these
socks at all times now cuz they're ever
looking for good socks. Specifically
running socks. Like they're amazing.
They're actually on my Amazon storefront
under running, but like I just wear them
as my everyday socks. I'm so excited to
be back in my workout routine. I like
cannot decide what to wear today because
it's randomly going to be 80° and I
Okay, I also need to tan. But $7 t-shirt
from Target. This sweater is old. I'm
just throwing this on these jeans. The
problem is that I need other jeans, but
I love these. They just didn't fit with
my original outfit. Um they're the
low-rise baggie jeans from Abberrombi.
And then I have these Maidwell shoes.
Oh, you know what? I need to grab my
best purchase ever. I haven't
put LB product on. Also, I'm so pale
that like the palest of my skin. It's
like does not match my body. Anyway, got
this bag from The Real Real for like 500
bucks, which is obviously a lot of
money, but it's good for Louis Vuitton.
I did lose the long top ribbon that I or
scarf that I had here. But it's just
so good. This is perfect for a photo
shoot. Very comfy. As a surprise to no
one because Frenchie has never made a
bad product in their life. The Frenchie
casual vanilla. This is my favorite
scent from them. The lip product. First
off, it's actually really pretty on your
lips. Second, it smells amazing and it
stays and it's not sticky like with your
hair. It's thick but not too thick. I
mean, it's like the perfect lip balm.
Anyway, here's the fit. I'm going to go
film my whip Wednesday. So, let's get a
little update on that. All right, guys.
So, I think I've like accidentally This
isn't really going to be a hobby office
because it's just going to be my office.
I just happen to have my needle point
hutch in here. I'll give you guys a
little update. It's a little bit of a
mess because I did sell my furniture or
the bed out of here this weekend. Um,
and then I'm going to move this desk out
to the garage. So, I am going to keep
it. Let's turn the lamp bomb on while
we're here. This is our paint by numbers
that we still have not finished. I don't
even know where to store stuff like
that. Anyway, my needle point hutch,
which is obviously stunning and perfect
and incredible and amazing. I'll do a
full tour really in depth on Instagram
and Tik Tok, but I have this room that's
open. I have a Murphy bed that's coming,
I believe, Thursday. A lamp for the
corner coming, I believe, Friday. Pretty
sure the desk is coming today, which
will be so nice. I just need a big
table. Like, I can't obviously do a
small You guys see what that looks like.
Like, there's just no way. So, it's
going to be really nice. The only thing
is that it's a little dim in here. So,
I'm trying to figure out how to make it
brighter. I'm probably just going to get
more powerful light bulbs in here. Um,
but I need like there's not really
natural light in here and like I'm a
natural light girl. Need that
desperately. So, I'm going to have to
figure out how to make this. Like I've
even thought about having lights
installed into this hutch. Like I maybe
even above. I don't know. I've got to
figure that out. If you guys have good
wrecks, let me know. But we're going to
do a little whip Wednesday in here.
Um, despite the lighting not being the
best, but we are hopefully going to
start doing them in this room. We're
going to combine this with stitch mail
Monday because I don't have a ton of
progress that I've made besides like
kitting things. So, I thought for sure
this week I would have the background
done. I got so sick on the car ride.
Like I could not focus. I think cuz we
were in a car that was lower to the
ground. So, like I cannot needle point
there. So, I did get like this corner
done, but I have this backing to do.
Now, I'm not quite sure I'm gonna have
this finished done or done by the end of
the year. We'll see. I have a lot of
things to finish. I'm not in a rush. Um,
but I haven't even needle pointed in a
couple days, which is the longest I've
gone without needle pointing in like
months because I've just been busy and
moving things around. This weekend, we
went to a needle point store in Austin,
The Needle Works. I posted a review.
It's a fab place. And we kitted two
kits. Um, this one is for Charlie. This
is a custom one. And I got it from
Threaded and Tipsy. It's just like his
favorite like whiskey. So that'll be an
ornament. And then this one is custom
for soap. This is her dog. And I'm going
to make this a bag charm. So I kitted
those. And that's pretty much it on like
my needle point like progress that I've
made. Um the other small projects I I
need to start finishing them. Like I've
got a lot that are ready to go when it
comes to finishing. Okay, let's do a
little stitch mail Monday. This is very
very exciting. I actually have quite a
few things that have come in the mail.
So, the first one being this from I
think it's Happy Stitching. So, they
give you like this is really good for
like beginners. Um, let me move these.
So, this is just a P, which my last name
is Piper in case you guys didn't know.
And then you get this entire like
luggage tag needle point kit. So, it's
like self finishing and you can just put
it in here and you have everything that
you would need. This is really good for
beginners. And that's 13 mesh. That's a
quick stitch and it's really nice. So,
I'm excited about that. I wanted to show
you guys because this is great if you
guys are trying to get into needle point
like getting a kit like this because
everything is in there and you don't
have to like be confused and go to like
your Elanas and all that stuff. So,
highly recommend. Guys, I am so excited
to do this one. It's a birthday cake.
It's from Rory Grace Designs. Look at
how cute it is. I think I'm going to do
like velvets and sparkles. I've never
done like decorative not decorative
stitches. I've never done like threads
like that. Like I stick to like the
basics, but this is just going to be
really cute. I'm going to make it a door
hanger and then I'll have it forever and
then whoever's like birthday is in the
house will have it out. How cute. Like I
am in love with this one. It's going to
be a pretty quick stitch. If you guys
have ideas for what I should do with
this one, please let me know. I even
thought about doing like beading on like
the blue dots. I've never done beading
and I know it's a lot to take on, but
that's not that many. So, I feel like
that could be cute. I don't want it to
be too insane. Like I don't like
something that's like too decorative. Um
but I think it could be fun. So let me
know what you think. And then guys, I
got this finally. It's been waiting for
me in Texas. This is going to be a door
hanger that I'm going to keep in my
dining room because we're always getting
majong in there. And it just says let's
mage. Look how cute. I might color swap
that. I don't know. But it is definitely
going to be a door hanger. Just
adorable. Love that. I don't know what I
will do like a green. I want to do like
blue and brown or green and brown or
like something to just change it up a
little bit, but it's really cute. And
this one is from Wild Tile Mage and it
came with this whole like rules for
Majang 101, which is really nice.
Okay, this one I ordered, which I know
is excessive, but I sometimes I just
have to immediately cuz I know that
they're going to sell out. This is from
Atlantic Blue and it's a pollen need a
point which is Lauraai's dog in Gilmore
Girls. I actually do have one other
Gilmore Girls canvas that I haven't done
yet. It's so massive. So I actually like
don't even know what I'm going to put it
on. But this is definitely going to be
an ornament. I just think it's the
cutest thing ever. Paul Inca. Maybe I'll
do like velvet for the name or but I
don't know. I'll have to think about it.
But this is a really fun stitch. And I'm
actually hosting Gilmore Girls
Friendsgiving next week. So, I just
thought it was fitting and it'll be cute
to like commemorate that night and have
that on the tree. So, love that. That is
my needle point canvas haul. All the
things. I've got so much right now. I
know it's out of control, but I'm not
complaining. It's actually quite nice
for me. So, um yeah, I'm going to get to
filming. I'm going to film this for Tik
Tok obviously and then film a bunch of
stuff before I leave and pack up my bag
for the shoot. Guys, I was just shooting
some content for a friend of mine in
styling the Dolly garden mat, which by
the way, we don't have a ton of
inventory left on these. So, if you guys
are interested, get this now. Anyway, I
was just styling them with all these
different ways. And like look at how
cute these are. This is actually the
dream. This is from the Maong line. I'm
actually really curious. Comment below
if you guys play ma jang. Like I'm
actually interested how many people I
have. I feel like maybe not YouTube
viewers, but a ton of Tik Tok and
Instagram girls. I don't know if people
who are like watching, you know, our
vlogs are playing, but if you're not,
you need to. They're so much fun.
Anyway, these are um the Majang line
mountain line. They're really cute and
the green just matches perfectly. This
is the origami line from Bamber. This is
Bamber acrylic racks. They're so nice.
This is Bamber acrylic racks in
tortoise. And then the same thing with
the tiles, which I think are my personal
favorite just because I'm such a
tortoise girl as we know. But I am just
like in love with this whole setup. I
think it's so cute. I also have a maong
table that I will like bring in and out
depending on how many people are
playing. Typically, it's just like
Charlie and I playing. So, we'll just
play on this little beastro table. We
play actually a ton. Like, we'll play
just two-player maong like constantly.
It really makes you feel accomplished
and like it gets your brain going. I
It's just the best thing ever and it's
really fun. He actually really likes it.
He's very strategic and like smart so
it's like a really good game for him.
But anyway, love this
I'm back home from the most productive
photo shoot of my life. We got so much
done, but I got a package from Flamingo
Estate. First off, this candle, the
green goddess candle, smells so good. I
knew the tomato one. I know. I love the
tomato scent. This smells insane. It
feels like you were in a garden.
Actually, straight up. I They also gave
me the coffee table book, which I've
been wanting for so long. I listened to
um the founder on Martha Stewart's
podcast and of course was obsessed. But
guys, look, friend of mine. That's
literally the sweetest thing ever. Also,
I got this really small little tea set
that I want to have out whenever I'm
playing majong outside. I just I loved
the vibes. It also matches a bunch of my
stuff outside really well. But look at
how perfect this is. It's like actually
perfect. Also, I did get new jeans
today. And let me just tell you, they're
the same jeans that I normally wear,
which are the low-rise baggie, but
they're actually like my size. I was
sizing up to have them be baggier, but
they're just like the perfect jean. I'll
have them linked. They're curve love.
That is the key with Abbercomi for me at
least. I get curve love. I'm normally a
size like four or six, and then these
are a size 26 to like actually fit, but
they're the most perfect jeans ever. So
anyway, I am going to finish up some
work, get some more stuff done, and film
some like more Needle Point stuff for
like Tik Tok and Instagram, and then
head off to our Ming event. We're
hosting a friend of my majing event at
Bamber, which I'm really excited for.
What a successful day, guys. Seriously,
like the photo shoot that we had was the
most perfect photo shoot we've ever had
ever. Like, I'm so happy,
guys. Okay, to make matters even cuter,
they're little butterfly handles. I got
these from HomeSense.
Like how cute. I mean, you're barely
drinking anything from these, but I like
the vibe. And then we'll have a teapot.
You know, this is probably too much tea
in here. It needs to be like loose leaf
or whatever. But guys, I just needed
these for outside. How cute. Okay, now
we're packing up for the majong event.
I'm obsessed with that. That's not
coming, but we're bringing the two mats.
Like, I'm in love.
Good morning, y'all. It is now Thursday.
Today is the apron launch day. Last
night, we had the modeling event. It was
so fun. We did it at Bamird, which is a
brand. Like, you can shop them online,
and they also have a store here in
Dallas, and they have a bunch of like
the stuff that I use is from them. I'm
going to go on a walk and then come
back. I need to tan, wash my hair, and
then do the last final prep for the
apron launch, which is in three hours.
It's pretty much prepped. And then, um,
today I'm just prepping for my Gilmore
Girls Friendsgiving next week. And then
also, I'm prepping for the sourdough
party event thing that I'm throwing
tonight where we have like 10
influencers coming over to my house and
they're going to learn how to make
sourdough. So, I'm very, very tired. I'm
waking up at 6:00 all week, which I'm
proud of myself. Four, it's helpful with
daylight savings times, but is that
true? Fall back. You know, this
Abbercomi crew neck, which the Abbercomi
sweat sets, do not sleep on them. They
are truly the best. Like, they're
actually so good. Um,
Broadway Housewife hat. Friendly
reminder that we do have these hats. A
brown gingham, perfect for this time of
year. And then we also have our classic
dolly hat, which is just so good. So
anyway, I'm drinking my coffee. I'm
going to go walk around the lake and
then get back here very soon.
I'm like serious.
Yes. You were like, "Hi guys, happy
launch day. I just had Fitz, our CFO,
CEO, chief dog officer. Come here,
Fitz." Anyways, he was up here working
with me, but he has since left. We are
going live in
when are we? 2 minutes. I'm like losing
my mind. I'm so excited. We have never
had so much positive feedback around a
launch. And also, guys, I found the most
incredible photographer yesterday. I
already have something booked with her
tomorrow and then again on I think
Tuesday next week. So much stuff. Like
our socials and just like ecom and
everything are about to be so good.
Thank god. Thank god. If you guys are in
Dallas and you need a wreck, it's not
only Gosh, it's amazing. But anyway, um
I'm trying to get my life together. I
need to make the products live.
I'm so excited. This is a higher MOQ,
meaning we had to order the minimum was
a higher amount for these. So, I was a
little bit worried just like sales-wise
and like guys, I'm feeling good so far
and I'm just so excited. Like, it's just
everything. Okay, I'm going to make
these live. Okay, we're active. Looks so
good on the site. Wow, guys. This is so
exciting.
Okay, guys. We just went live. Our first
orders already happened. That was so
quick.
I have so much to do today. So, I don't
know why there's a pool towel there. But
instead, I just stress cleaned my
bathroom just a little bit. It was so
atrocious before I had just There's so
much stuff in that I can't even go
through it. It was atrocious before and
it still is back here. I really need to
go through and do like a full deep dive,
but that was like a 10-minute cleanup
and I feel better. So, this is good.
Launch went great. I have the event that
I'm hosting here tonight and then a
bunch of other things I need to get done
this afternoon and I'm kind of crashing
out and I'm very tired. So, um I'm going
to go make myself get ready really
quickly. I might not I guess I will do
my hair just so I have that out of the
way. That's like my number one hosting
tip is like make sure you're ready in
the morning before you do everything
else. The day flies by and before you
know it, you're not ready and you're
rushing at the very end of it. This is a
very easy hosting thing. I'm not like
cooking a meal. I actually might make a
chicken roast for lunch though when I
have a billion things to do. That's what
I'll be doing. So good.
All right, y'all. I have spent the past
hour updating my hosting journal. Just
going back and scrapbooking a couple
things like Charlie's birthday, um the
great gardens one. I never put like our
photos in there even though this whole
journal is like so actually organized.
If you guys don't know, a friend of
mine, we have this hosting journal which
is so fun. And it's how I plan all my
dinner parties. So like I added these
photos. I added some more to like
Charlie's birthday.
This is so cute. That was so fun.
Um this photo, but really I was doing
that because I'm hosting Gilmore Girls
Friendsgiving next week, which I'm so
excited for. It's just going to be the
most fabulous evening. I have invited a
bunch of people. There's going to be
anywhere between like 15 to 30 people.
Well, it's the weekend before
Thanksgiving, so it's kind of hard so
far as like plans go with people. Um,
but I have a bunch of people coming. And
I have made an board. I need to show you
guys. It's literally right here. This is
the mood board. But I don't want it to
just be like basic Gilmore Girls fall
cuz that's like so easy. And of course,
I will stick to that. Like here's the
thing. I have people dress up because
that like really lessens the load on the
host honestly because it's like
everyone's dressed up. That's the fun
moment. Whatever. I'm going to do a very
simple like stars holo gazebo moment out
on the patio. I'll serve I think we have
like three two three tables that are
going to be out there. Um
I'll get some pumpkins. I'll get some
hay. Like it's going to be good. We're
going to have like stars hollow banners
and things like that. And then inside in
the kitchen I'm going to make this
Luke's Diner and I'm going to have my
bartender be in here and I'm going to
have him dressed up as Luke. And then
it's going to have like the no cell
phone sign and all that which will be so
fun. And then in my dining room, this is
what really is going to take it a step
further than just like the Gilmore Girls
fall, which like I could just do cuz
that's perfect and fine. Literally
doesn't matter. It's just is a little
confusing to me right now because, you
know, my Christmas tree has been up for
a month. Um, I'm going to make the
dining room the Gilmore Girls dining
room. And really, that's just going to
be like fine china in there, which it's
not going to be like obviously really
decked out. Like I don't have like the
stuff that they have, but I'm going to
make it more like mature,
wedding china, nicer, all that stuff.
Like I wish that I had like more like
silver and stuff. It's going to be
incredible. I'm very excited. Um, so I
was just going through all of my plans
cuz I'm going to have to make some
orders probably starting tomorrow. I get
a lot of my stuff on Amazon. I own like
most things as far as like actual like
serveware and things like that. like
we'll be fine. But um the other stuff
will be like picking up and signs and
stuff that will be made. But I'm so
excited. I obviously will be vlogging it
and I'll be like posting about it on
TikTok and stuff, but I am so excited.
Also, I only have one section left in my
hosting journal and then guys be back.
Time to reflect. I honestly forgot that
we did this. We have prompts here. My
favorite event was I will always
remember. I wouldn't have changed
anything about my favorite thing about
hosting like their whatever. Um, one
thing I learned about my loved ones that
I didn't know, the thing that made me
laugh the most as our little reflection
in the back of the journal. It's so
cute. And it comes with these stickers.
So, anyway, I was just getting all this
ready cuz I'm setting this off for a
photo shoot tomorrow that I won't be
attending. So, getting all that
together. Um, we're going to have our
final setup for the event tonight in
like an hour. So, I'm going to be
running around really quickly and
getting everything done.
All right, y'all. We are finally set up
for sourdough night. We have Careway
cast iron pans for everyone. If you
don't have Carowway, I use them in every
single vlog. The best kitchen wear that
has ever existed. Nothing compares. So
good. good. I do have a code. I'll have
it down below. Get the kitchen set if
you guys are starting with them. But
this cast iron pan's amazing. Then we
have all this set up. Um, yes, this is
very thin. These are our first samples
of our tabletop. This is not the quality
that we're going to go with, but this is
obviously our TW. So, I decided to pull
it out for our little influencer event
tonight. Like, how fun is this? I love
doing Dallas influencer events
specifically at my house because it's
just like literally my friends coming
over, but it's work. So, love that. Um,
so cute. We have aprons on everyone's
seat and gifts with the recipe journal,
family cards in the oven mitts as well.
And then we have all these mixing bowls
and stuff that they're going to end up
using for the sourdough starter class.
And they actually were supposed to send
us a different assortment of all the
aprons and they only sent us these. So,
we're just working with what we have. I
have these up on display. And then we're
going to have DLMax pizza, which is
really good pizza in Texas. Um, arriving
in like 30 minutes, and wine and water
and all the things we've already we're
about to start. And then over here, it's
the same thing. Really, really cute.
This I said it in every single Okay, I
feel like I say this in every vlog. This
backyard area patio is the best decision
I ever made. I like wish this wasn't
black, but like it is the best thing I
ever did. So anyway, lots of updates.
Loving how this looks. I'm adding
another lamp here and I'll turn these on
later. I actually should turn these off
for the time being. Does anyone Oh,
here's what sucks. Like the rechargeable
ones obviously look a lot better, but
they die pretty quickly. These are
Amazon. Like do you guys have any Like I
would pay good money at this point for
ones that just don't die cuz I feel like
half the time they're dead. Oh my god,
guys. The Christmas tree inside.
It's magical. Like that is actually just
so stunning. Oh my god, that's a dream.
Oh, I've been watching Hot Smart Rich,
my friend Maggie Sellers's podcast with
Harris Hilton, which is now her
sister-in-law. Maggie is literally the
greatest. I made Charlie listen to a
podcast of her over the weekend or make
him believe. We listened to one on a
road trip and he was like, "That was
incredible." So, she's amazing. Love
her.
Here we go.
Actually,
Jack taught me back.
>> Yeah, I was thinking about
>> Okay, I'll just for you cuz like it does
get sticky. It's kind of fun.
>> You're just You just want 100 g though.
Our skin is glowing like insane. Thank
you. It looks so good.
That's so cute. I was like, you know
what? I know. Well, for so long.
So cute.
>> Good morning, y'all. Last night was
really fun. We had a sourdough baking
class at my house in honor of the aprons
dropping. And somehow I we literally
hosted the class at my house. I know how
to make sourdough. I do it all the time.
I left my dough on overnight and it
overproofed like crazy. So I'm actually
going to use this as my opportunity to
bake ficasha because apparently you can
do that with overproof bread. And I
don't know if this is going to turn out
like good or not. I guess we're going to
see. But we have it ready. Obviously,
I'm still in the middle of cleaning.
It's currently 7:30 and I'm about to add
a bunch of like herbs and stuff to it.
I'm going to make a sugar nurse today.
So, I'm thinking that that'll be like a
good good duo. I'm like full Christmas
out. You guys are looking for a great
like sourdough class teacher. Um, Baron
Table, who I've used for like dinner
parties and stuff, she does different
meals like catering for Dallas. She's
amazing. Her name's Merida. She's so
sweet. She did our class and she killed
it. But anyway, guys, I'm actually so
impressed by how much is already cleaned
up out here. Like, this is impressive.
This is great.
I've been working outside and it's
actually been incredible. I'm getting a
lot of editing done. Took some meetings.
I have some more this afternoon. Anyway,
I just got a package. This is such
exciting stitch mail. This is the needle
point bag by Blue Canary. I'm going to
try to like not rip this completely.
And I'm ripping it already cuz I want to
film it for my Stitch Mill Tik Tok.
Stitch mail Monday Tik Tok.
Oh my gosh. First off, this is so cute.
Love that. This is so nice.
It's a prefinished
purse
that Oh, that has my monogram on it. How
cute is that? So, I stitch it in the
bag. But how cool. I don't know exactly
what colors I'm going to do. I want to
make it really cool, but this is just
such a fun clutch. Like, oh my god, it's
so perfect.
