a cozy day in my life vlog

Good morning, guys. It's Syd. Today, we're doing another vlog. Today, I'm not working, so I wanted to do things that I haven't done in the city before. I feel like being in a routine is a really good thing and something that I really love is being in a routine, but it's also good to break out of it and try new things. I think I get really comfortable with my life and I just never wanna stray away from my three places that I go on the daily. I have my coffee shop that I love. I have my dinner spot that I love. I have my shops that I love, and I think I have an obsessive personality, honestly, because I never seem to stray away from them, and I really just wanna try new spots today. So, like I said, I'm a habit of creature. I think we all are. Habit, creature of habit. I meant, oh my God, did you guys hear that, what I just said? I found this workout class while doing research on TikTok. It looked really fun. I think it's just good to push yourself to try new things that you wouldn't normally try, and this is a hybrid dance workout class. I would not say I'm the best dancer. If anything, I'd actually say I probably am the worst. We'll see. I have no idea. I signed up last night before bed at 8 p.m., and we're gonna go try it together. I also wanna try a new coffee shop today. I wanna try maybe going to this fashion museum later and just hang out with you guys. So, all right, I should probably leave. I really stick to my same gym routine every day. I just go on the treadmill on an incline for like 45 minutes, so this was pretty polar opposite of what I usually do, which was the whole point. The creators of this place tried to make it sort of like a rave with the lighting and the music. I thought it was really fun, but I did find the choreography to be kind of harder than I anticipated. Okay, guys, I just got out of my class. It was actually pretty hard. I don't know why it was harder than I expected. My arms are very sore, particularly. I don't know if that was supposed to happen or if that's just me, but I had a lot of fun. I actually made a friend in there at the end and she told me a coffee shop to try around the corner. Okay, friend might be a stretch. I wouldn't go that far, but I did meet this girl after the class and I was asking her for coffee shop recommendations, so I ended up at Paper Coffee. I walked in and it was just so beautiful because it's in a hotel. It kind of put me at peace. Ironically, after that crazy rave workout, I think I needed this for my soul. I also really needed this honey bear latte that I had no idea existed because I always get the same vanilla latte every time, so I wanted to switch it up and I'm glad I did. This was pretty good. I liked it because it wasn't too overly sweet and it's just such a nice little relaxing end to my morning. The biggest form of delayed gratification, I think, is getting up early to work out. I am being very dramatic, but I'm not one of those people that's an automatic morning person. I don't love waking up at 6 a.m. I actually hate it. In the moment, I hate it. I wanna hit snooze and just go straight back to bed, but I feel so much better now. It's only 10.30 a.m. and I just feel like I've already done so much today. I showered, washed my hair, and I'm gonna get ready for the day. The best part of that workout class was that I was really nervous the whole time, kind of self-conscious about it because I don't know why I couldn't remember the sequence because they kept changing the sequence and I felt like I just wasn't doing it right. So I met this girl. She told me that it was also her first time there like me and she told me, she's like, honestly, I was so nervous that whole class. I felt like I was messing everything up and that made me feel better because I felt the same way the whole class. So to hear that someone else was feeling the exact same way and was also kind of insecure about the workout made me feel better. When I was in the class, I kind of just look around and I just assume that everyone's been there a million times and everyone knows what they're doing, but honestly, it just goes to show that people are really only focusing on themselves. No one really cares what you're doing. They're just trying to keep it together. After I finish getting ready, I'm gonna go straight to lunch because I'm so hungry and then I think I'm gonna go to the fashion museum. It's somewhere that I've been wanting to go for so long and I just, I'm trying to do things that I've always said I would do and put them off because if I never do it, at some point, it's just never gonna happen. I just did a little bit of light makeup for today. Nothing too crazy. I'm gonna get dressed before I go. It's absolutely freezing outside. New Yorkers would say it's brick. I say it's freezing. I wanna just do something really cute, cozy, and warm, but I'm styling my outfit around the Coach Brooklyn bag and I'm so excited to be working with Coach again on today's video. You guys know how much I love Coach at this point. I talk about them like all the time. This is just such a perfect, essential, everyday bag. I can fit so much stuff in here. I bring a ton of stuff with me and I got the medium size. I just love the look of this. I think it's so beautiful, so sleek, so classy. Building off of the bag, I wanna keep the outfit itself pretty neutral. All right, option number one. I really love the black bag with this top. Super comfy, cozy, casual, pretty much exactly what I was going for. Okay, next option. Again, a very comfy, cozy look. I really don't know what I like better. I'm thinking maybe the first sweater actually because I like the color with it. What do you guys think? I have a vision coming together. Give me a second. I threw on some black jeans and then some black flats to go with it. I like the black with the black bag, I think it goes well. And then for a coat, which I desperately need, I'm gonna throw this sort of dark olive green suede coat on. This is gonna be closed very tight because it is so cold. I chose this because I like how the black buttons kind of go with the bag. So this is the final look. What do we think? My favorite part of this whole look is the bag. How beautiful is this bag? I just love it. And I wanted to bring a little book with me because I wanted to read while I have lunch. This is the book I've been reading. I'm actually almost done with it. I love how I can fit so much in this bag. So I just love that I can bring everything in my Brooklyn bag everywhere I go. Anyways, let's head out to lunch. I am so hungry and excited to eat. Hotel Chelsea just never disappoints. It was one of the first places I went when I moved to New York. It's so classical Victorian, just so beautiful in there. I could just observe and like stare at the architecture and decor for so long. I ordered a $9 Diet Coke. Did not know it was gonna be $9 until I got the bill. And then I also got this cheese plate with some jam. You know, this was a special treat for me. And then after I made my way to go to the museum, I did have to do a little bit of searching to find one that was open. You guys saw, I just left Chelsea Hotel. It was so beautiful. Since I wanted to try new things today that I really like don't do often, I wanted to go to a museum. So I'm in Chelsea. I was gonna go to a fashion museum, but it was closed. That was also really sad. I walked in and they like shook their head. Like you should have known. Instead of that place, Fit, I decided to go to Chelsea. There's like a little street where there's tons of galleries and you could just like walk in and gallery hop. I've always wanted to do this. So I'm very curious. I've had a lot of people recommend this to me and I've just never like made the time. So that's where I am right now. I'm on the little street of galleries. And I think you just like walk in. I don't know if you have to pay. They obviously have rotating galleries with different pieces and different exhibitions every so often. So I'm excited. This is a bit spontaneous considering the one I was gonna go to was closed. All right guys, I'm back home. I had a lot of fun today. Ironically, it felt very romantic when I think about it. Going to the Chelsea hotel for brunch, looking at the gallery art. But hey, that's your sign to romanticize your life alone. I think about a lot that I won't have alone time forever. Like when I have kids and like a family, I won't have all this time to myself. And that makes me feel especially appreciative of the alone time that sometimes I feel lonely in. And I try to remember that and like be grateful for this time that I have to myself. Cause I know forever that won't be the case. Down the line I'll probably eventually have a family and be busier and just like won't have time like this. So I try to really be grateful for it. And my mom always tells me that. She's like, enjoy your time now. Cause when you have kids, you're gonna never be alone again. And my mom is always right. I've realized guys, I was just looking at tickets online. I'm really wanting to see the movie Housemates because my mom told me she really loved it. And I just like haven't been able to go. I haven't found a time. Everyone's busy. And I was just like, you know what? Why don't I just go tonight? Like I could easily go in like an hour. And there's a showing. So I think I'm gonna go to the movie theater by myself. Sounds kind of fun, honestly. I did this once before and I enjoyed it. There's a showing in an hour, exactly. I mean, at this point, my roommate's gone. My boyfriend's working this last minute. Those are usually the only two people who can like go with me to see something that last minute. Cause my other friends like live a little further. So I think I might just like go. Why not? You know, this is kind of crazy. This is me. This is my version of being spontaneous. Booking a movie by myself at the theater. Wow. I bought the ticket. So I also bought popcorn and a drink ahead of time. So I'm really, I'm really like prepped for this. Tonight's a leftover type of night because I have them in my fridge and it's financially responsible. I have sweet potato and chicken. Probably throw together like a little salad or something. And a salad I did indeed make. Why am I talking like this? I don't know. If you guys watched my recent vlog, you know I've been hooked on this new salad with my obsessive repeating food personality. I like to eat the same things. And then I went to the movies, which was so fun. I did not think it was going to be this fun to go by myself, but I really enjoyed it. And honestly, if you're watching this, please let this be your sign to go to the movies by yourself. I can't really explain why. What's so fun about it? I don't know. Something about it, it's kind of like weirdly comforting. All right, guys, I'm back home in my bed. I have some thoughts. I enjoyed going alone to the movies. It's actually like the perfect, most ideal activity to do by yourself because you are just like watching something happen. You don't need someone to converse with. Yes, of course, it is nice to debrief after the movie with someone. I think that's what I'm missing right now. I have no one to talk to about it. So that's why I'm talking to you guys. If you haven't seen it yet, I would recommend you go see it. I actually really liked it. Anyways, I love you guys so much. Thanks for spending the day with me. We did some things that I don't usually do and I think it's good to like break out of your routine sometimes, especially when you're kind of in a rut. So maybe you take this as your sign to do that and try new things every once in a while. I feel like it's so easy to get comfortable in your everyday activities and your everyday spots. So I am going to put a link to the Coach Brooklyn bag that I was wearing throughout this video in the description. So if you want to check it out, it's such a good bag. Love you guys. See you in my next vlog. Bye.
