Video summary
The video documents the first day of the Go Wild 2025 conference, capturing a lively and thematic atmosphere as the vlogger prepares for "outfit day." She begins by showcasing her preppy racing sweater vest ensemble paired with jeans and Nike sneakers, while also explaining her strategic use of a carry-on bag to manage potential swag at various tables. Her companion, Ryan, appears in a navy blue crushed velvet suit adorned with sequins and a Keith Haring t-shirt, drawing attention from passersby who mistake him for part of the event staff due to his distinctive look. The day kicks off with an energetic search for books using the Dewey Decimal System and a visit to the social team's area near Starbucks, setting a tone of high spirits before the main sessions begin.
As the conference progresses, the vlogger highlights several key moments including attending talks by speakers like Danielle, who discussed her artistic journey, and Heather Kell, whose presentation on the seasons of life resonated with the audience. A significant portion of the day is dedicated to exploring different vendor tables, particularly praising the sticker party for its creative offerings and receiving a full-fledged undated planner from Laurel Denise. The overall vibe at this year's event is described as remarkably relaxed and intimate, fostering a sense that all attendees are friends rather than strangers. This positive energy extends to the evening Wild Crop event, where the vlogger distributes cute zebra-themed necklaces she purchased online, creating matching sets for herself, Sam, and her fellow planners before heading home.
Later in the night, after returning from the crop and dealing with a tornado warning outside, the focus shifts to personal care as the vlogger addresses feeling unwell due to medication side effects. She takes time to perform an extensive skincare routine using products like K Bella's lavender mud mask, Body Shop Tea Tree toner, Neutrogena Hydroboost moisturizer, and The Ordinary eye serum, emphasizing her preference for trying small samples before committing to larger purchases. Despite the discomfort of nausea from her medication, she maintains a positive outlook while applying lip sleeping masks and using a back heater to alleviate pain, ultimately deciding against joining friends at the hotel bar until her condition improves further.
The vlog concludes with plans for future content involving a meet-and-greet with author John Green on the final day, which will be documented by Ryan since guest access is limited. The narrator expresses excitement about having her book signed and potentially getting a greeting from the famous author during this special event. Throughout the video, there is a recurring theme of balancing professional conference activities with personal well-being and spontaneous fun, encapsulating the unique blend of work, creativity, and friendship that defines the Go Wild experience for these two planners.

Hello. Dip dip. Welcome to the vlog.
We're in front of the big big old
window. This is outfit day one of
conference. So, I'm going very themey
with the uh racing sweater vest. I feel
very preppy today. We got some earrings
from the internet somewhere. I don't
know. Uh got my Apple Watch and we've
got some bracelets that I made. Very
exciting. I got some jeans and some
Nikes. And then I've got actually my
carry-on bag that I'm using because you
never know what table you're going to
sit at because there's usually a copious
amount of swag. So, that's what's
happening here. Ry, tell us about your
outfit today, sir. Uh, good morning. I
am an outfit repeater, but no one knows
cuz I they haven't seen it. Uh, so I
have a suit from ASOS. It is navy blue
crushed velvet with some sequins. Got
the pants and the the blazer. And then
I've got a little Keith Herring t-shirt
here. Cutie. Here we go. And then
obviously rocking the Air Force Ones.
We're like sponsored by Nike. What's
happening here? You're giving me very
like um Liam, can you help me find my
book using the Dewey Decimal
System in like the cool way? In the cool
way. Like not in an like I just think
it's like a like a like I know about the
card catalog. It's like a really pretty,
sexy, sultry librarian.
[Music]
Okay. Do you have a hard cover?
Actually, we have two. We do. We have
our books. We need to drop those off at
some point today. And um yeah, we're
going to go down there. Ryan placed his
mobile order maybe or not. I don't know.
Anyway, um but yeah, there's like a
little Starbucks around the corner from
the like thing. I don't know. I don't
know what I'm just like. It's way too
early. Anyway, we got to go down cuz we
were on the social team. So, we're going
to go down and get some content.
uh for Planners Gone Wild and we'll
share some of that stuff with you. So,
come along. It'll be fun. And later on
today, we are also going to be going to
the Wild Crop and doing fun things
there. So, yeah. Anyway, got to go. Bye.
Okay, so we're in the room. It's not
time yet. This is like the calm before
the wildness starts. All the amazing
volunteers are coming through now.
And here are all the great tables. I'm
going to show you guys a little bit some
closeups of some of the tables, too. I
have no idea where I'm sitting, but I've
got a little bit of time to decide. So,
let's get into deciding.
[Music]
Okay, so we are in line for our snack
break behind. We're in a very long line,
but it's going to go fast. The snacks
are good. Yeah, the snacks are good. Uh
Ryan keeps getting stopped because of
his outfit choice. I'm like a walking
disco ball.
Disco mania. Disco mania over here. So
yeah. And I am a I don't know. Am I I'm
not a red flag. I'm not a green flag.
No, you're a checker flag. I'm the
finish
line. Okay, so we are done with session.
Um, I think I mean besides Elise
obviously,
um, my favorite person was Danny or
Danielle. Um, she was our last speaker.
I will tag her down below. I've actually
been following her since 2020. She does
great digital artwork. Um, so yeah, I
mean, she talked a lot about her journey
and just I don't know, I really liked
her. It was kind of not surprising. I
shouldn't be shocked that I liked her.
Um, but the thing is I didn't actually
even realize that I followed her like
back in the day. So anyway, I thought it
was really fun. Um, sat at a great
table. I sat at the sticker party. Um,
they had some really fun stuff. And Ryan
sat where? Where did you sit? I was at
Laurel Denise. Yeah. She gave us a an
undated planner. Like a a full-fledged
planner. We love a full planner with
like all the goodies, right? Yeah. I
thought the stuff this morning was
really interesting. I feel like um
Heather Kell was fun talking about the
seasons of life and how like your plans
I loved her yellow dress too. She had
like an amazing yellow dress. Yeah, it
just it cracked me up cuz I was like,
"Oh, I just threw out a couple of
planners and I realized we post them
here so we can always go back and watch
them." Um no, it was really informal to
say the energy was really high. I also
like Crafty Chica and that idea of just
like your story and playing with your
art and like really letting your
creativity flow. I think it's something
that we don't do enough. Um so overall
like it was so fun. I think there was
the snacks were great. The vibe was
good. Everybody was like in a really
It's like a really relaxed atmosphere
this year. Very relax. Like it feels
like not stressful. Like
we're not stressed. Like the other
attendees don't feel stressed. The like
people that are putting on the show
don't feel st like it's it's a good vibe
and I really like it. Like it feels like
you were saying like it just feels like
more intimate. Like it just feels like
these are all our friends and like no
one's a stranger where it's
been felt more like strangers cuz you
just can't see everybody, right? Like
you can't stop and say hello to every
single person. Not that necessarily
that's the motive for everybody, but
it's just, you know, it's just
different. But I really like it. I I've
been having fun. So anyway, we are going
to take a breather, chill for a bit. Uh
I want to look at Ryan's swag. He wants
to look at my swag. Love the sticker
party. He, you know what, he has said
that a few times even before we got
here, like, "Oh my gosh, have you seen
the sticker party stuff?" Like, it's so
good. So, um, yeah, we're going to we're
going to divulge and we're going to, you
know, have a little look see and like
see what happens. So, anyway, I will see
you guys back when something other
something else interesting starts to
happen. We do have the uh crop tonight
at 7. So, definitely take you along for
that road or road. definitely take you
along for that ride. Oh my gosh, I'm
wearing this. I should know about cars,
but I don't clearly. Um, no checkered
flag yet. No, no, not yet. We're not
We're not done with the day. We're not
done with the day, but I'll see you guys
later. Bye.
What were they doing? So, I have a
sneaky
surprise for these peoples over here. We
joke that we are the zebras and I got a
little special delivery that no one knew
about. So, this is for every I didn't
even open them. So, if they're wrong,
I'm so sorry. Uh, hang on. That's yours.
So, we don't open these yet. Well, you
can open them. That's for you. Thank
you. I have one for me and one for Sam,
too. But I want your reactions cuz
they're so fun. You want to open yours,
too?
It's a little zebra. It is a zebra
head tonight. Oh my god.
Oh my god. It's a sticker.
Stop it. Let me see. Oh no. I'm like I
haven't even opened them. I literally
ran down and got it.
So yeah, they're cute little zebra
heads. Yay. So I have one for myself,
too, so we can all be matching if we
choose to. And then Sam's going to get
one, too. But you know, anyway. Okay.
Who's Who is Sam? She's working. She's
working hard. So, there you go.
You're welcome. Well, hello. I am back.
Um I am We had dinner in uh the hotel
room. You guys actually saw that cuz I
gave all my peeps their cute little
zebra necklaces. I just got them on
Amazon. They were pretty inexpensive.
They're like eight bucks a piece or
something, but they're really, really
cute. So, everyone liked them. I do have
one more to give to our friend Sam.
She's actually working the event. So, um
I need to get that one because I will
probably see her this evening. So, I'll
get her little one here. Um but anyway,
costume change. I got this uh purple
sweater. I think I got it from Sheen. Um
it was like the last purple one, so it's
a like slightly big, but I actually kind
of like the cut of it. Anyway, it's
fine. So, um yeah, and then I have my
bracelet stack here. It is raining.
There's like a
tornado warning going on right now, but
I'm standing by a window, so whatever.
Um I also got these cute little earrings
I think I got on Amazon or somewhere.
And I've got some light denim
and my little booties. My little
booties. But um everyone else left
because my mom called and was having
some challenges with my dog and just
wanted to like talk it out really quick
of like what do I do? So kind of walked
her through that. They're going to try
to go on another walk and uh see how
that goes. So anywho, cheers. And now
I'm going to go down to the crop, but
I'm going to try to slam as much of this
as I can
because Nina told me I had to. So
anyway, um I'm going to jet. I'm going
to try to slam as much as I can and I'm
going to see you guys at the crop. Bye.
Oh, well. Hello. Oh, that is horrible
lighting. This is not great either, but
it's like 9:00 at night. So, um the wild
crop is still going on. However, I'm
back in the room and I'm kind of calling
it a night. I might check in a little
bit later cuz I hope I'm going to start
to feel better. Um, I am extremely
nauseous at the moment. So, uh, I'm
fine. Don't worry. I'm all right. Uh, I
just deal with some really weird side
effects from some medicine that I take.
So, um, it's like totally normal for me,
but it is getting late and I'm tired.
So, I'm calling it a night from all my
buddies um because I want to take care
of myself cuz I want to feel good
tomorrow uh for everything else. So,
that's good. But um I'm gonna take my
meds and curl up in bed. But I think I'm
going to do face masks. So maybe I'll
check in and like show you what face
mask I'm using because I have a whole
bunch of them that I brought with and I
haven't done one at all. And usually on
vacation, one of the things I absolutely
love to do is to do a face mask because
I usually have a whole bunch of time to
sit around and do nothing. But this uh
go wild. We've just been so busy, so
late. So, haven't been able to do it
yet. But I think tonight's night because
I've got some free time to myself. So,
anyway, plus by the way, I put my little
zebra on. I think I think it's so cute.
It's so much fun. Anyway, but um I'm
going to go for right now, but I will
see you guys in a little bit when I have
a face mask on. I'll tell you what face
mask I use and all that stuff. Um I
don't know. I have a whole bunch of
them. And yeah, so I'll be back in just
a little bit. Bye. Hey, so I look extra
silly now because I washed my face, all
the grime is cleansed, and now I'm doing
a lovely face
mask. Um, I decided to go with this
one. This is This is what we're doing
today. I figured the purple packaging
had me hooked because go wild is usually
a purple situation. So, it's the K Bella
Bath & Body Relaxing lavender mud mask
with nourishing lavender oil and
balancing amethyst extract. And then the
uh the directions say to leave on for 15
minutes. So, I'm going to chill and do
this.
And put that in the trash. Um, and while
that's happening, I'm also going to do
something else that is completely
necessary in my life,
I
have a heater for my back because I've
got all the back problems.
So, get that checked out next week. But
I have like a wireless charging pack.
I'm going to put this on my back and I'm
going to sit and chill. Yes. So, that's
what's going to happen. I'm going to do
some skincare. I'll show you what
skincare I do um when I'm done with all
of this. So, we'll give it a little bit.
I'll wash it off. We'll do the skincare.
I'll just show you what I am using at
least when I'm traveling because that's
different than like normal cuz I like
sometimes I have little samples or
smaller versions of things I want to try
or things I love but maybe don't use as
often cuz I don't know whatever. So
anyway, I will see you guys in a little
bit when I start my skincare. Okay, bye.
It's time for skincare. I took the mud
mask off. My face feels amazing. And
this is what I'm going to do now. So, I
have a little bottle of this. This is
something I use every day. Sorry, the
angle is really weird, but like we got
to just like do what we can do. Um, we
are staying at the JW Marriott. And I
have this. It's the uh Body Shop Tea
Tree um toner. I've been using this for
years. I like it. Makes my skin feel
good. And uh yeah. So, I don't know. I
just kind of do that. If I have a like a
mask, like a sheet mask that has a bunch
of good for you things on it, I won't do
this cuz it kind of it
like gets into the pores, you know, like
it gets into the pores. So, yeah. So,
anyway, did that. And then I'm going to
put
on my regular Actually, you know what?
I'm not going to put this on. Not going
to put that one on. I'm going to put
this on. This is like a prescription
thing um I got from my
dermatologist.
And slather that baby on there. It's
supposed to help with like texture and
things. So, I don't know. I mean,
sometimes I feel like it does what it's
supposed to do and then other times I
don't know. But I still get like I'm 44
years old and I still get breakouts and
it like I have a little one right there.
You can't really see it, but they just
get random little
like skin irritations. Like they almost
look like little rashes, but they're not
rashes. I don't know. My skin's just
kind of It's temperamental. It gets It's
emotional. My skin's
emotional. So, yeah. But now I'm going
to use this Neutrogena Hydroboost. Um, I
actually did have
a like deep
um, whatever it's called, moisturizer
that I took out at the last minute. Um,
and now I'm second guessing my life
choices, but that's okay. We're going to
just slather this baby on and use this.
And I really like the hydro boost. It
does make your skin feel like a little
sticky and a little tacky. Um, so
definitely, you know, if you use it like
before makeup or something, use it a
little more sparingly. But, you know,
everyone's skin's different. It's all
different. Basically, go to bed looking
like a slug. That's the
idea. Moisture, at least for me, is a
good thing. Ryan came back in the
interim and they're going down to the
hotel bar and going to hang out there.
My anti-nausea is kicking in. Um, so I
might go join them in a little bit after
my skin care is over, so haven't fully
decided. I mean, it's just the hotel
bar. Like, I don't care. But, um, I
mean, I'll change a little bit, but
whatever. Anyway, I have this uh this is
the Ordinary, and this is the
multi-peptide eye serum. I don't think I
have a big one of these. What I like to
do if I have like stuff for the eyeballs
and such, um I like to get the minis if
they have them and try it. Um because I
don't want to buy the big version and
that might be the big version or like
the regular version. I'm not sure. Um
but I like to buy the smallest one I can
cuz like if I don't like it then, you
know, I've tried it out, tried it out
for a week, a month, whatever. and um
you know then just kind of go from
there. So yeah, but uh that's what I'm
doing now. Sorry I'm kind of out of
frame. I'm not used to this setup. I'm
not used to any setup to be honest
because you know vlogging. What's what's
that about? Anyway, but I got the eye
serum all over the dang
place. That's okay. And I did brush my
teeth and I'm going to put on my like
lip uh stuff. This is like a little
travel one, but it's the
Lanz lip sleeping mask. And um I think
it was like a set of six or a set of
eight, but I mean there's not much in
here, but it's like perfect for travel
cuz it's like really tiny. And I love
the way that this moisturizes my lips.
So I like to slather it on right before
bed. Um because I wake up and my lips I
feel like are plumper and they're just
better. They're just better. Um and I do
get dry lips especially cuz I live in
Minnesota and I have a lot of you know
dry weather. There it is. There she
blows. That's that's what's happening
over here. Um, but yeah, that's that's
all I'm doing for skincare because I
don't have any
other things to put on my face. But I
might give this a few minutes, make sure
it like sinks in all the way. Um, and
then go to the hotel bar and just hang
out because that's where all my friends
are. I'm feeling up to it. I'm I'm
pretty sure I'm feeling up to it, but
we're going to give it like a little
bit. So anyway, um, I will check in with
you guys in a little bit. Anyways, just
telling you what I decided to do. Um, I
still got my heater on my back. Um, and
of course I'm going to give that until
the very last minute before I take that
off cuz that sucks. It doesn't feel
good. Um, so yeah, that's what's going
on. I feel like this vlog is really
random today. A random vlog. We like
randomness here on this channel. Um, and
if you're new here, welcome to the
random. So anyway, um I'm going to see
you guys in just a little bit and
bye. Okay, you guys, I have decided my
skin care has like settled into my face
a bit more. It is a little shiny, but I
don't really care. Um anyway, but uh
yeah, I'm going to go down to the bar
for a little bit. If I can't handle
it, I'll come back. But I'm gonna go
down to the bar. But I am gonna close
out the vlog here because no one needs
to see what's going on at the bar
because it's just gonna be shenanigans.
We don't need to show shenanigans on the
internet. You guys know how it goes. We
don't need to show that. Um and it
wouldn't be my shenanigans because um I
did drink a little bit today, but not
like not copious amounts. You know what
I'm saying? Like a a glass a glass. So
anyho, um that is going to be it for me
today. I hope you guys enjoyed the
flicky vlog. Sorry I'm like organizing
things on the counter here cuz you know,
force of habit. Um but Ryan's going to
be vlogging the last day of Go Wild for
y'all. Um it should be a great day. John
Green's going to be here. Um I'll also
probably hijack the vlog, too. Um
because I have a meet and greet with
John Green. Um there was like a sign up
thing for it and I got in and he's going
to sign um a book that I pre- purchased.
So anyways, so that'll be really fun.
But I'll probably take uh Ryan's vlog
camera when I do that cuz it's not like
I can go with a guest. It's like only I
can go. So like they they're limiting
the amount of people. So anyways, I'm
really looking forward to meeting him
and um maybe I'll get him to say hi to
the vlog. I don't know. We'll see. We'll
see what he's willing to do. like I
don't want to push it. You know what I'm
saying? So, anyways, but um thank you
for hanging out with me today and um I'm
going to see you guys. Well, I'll see
you guys in Ryan's vlog. I'll see you in
Ryan's vlog. Okay. All right. I will see
you later. Bye. Well, folks, it's time
to kick it old
school so you can feel
cool. Give it to me,
