Video summary

The video begins with a humorous and candid look into the creator's morning routine, which is heavily influenced by her current health struggles and a quirky 2006-inspired hairstyle. She explains that she has been dealing with excruciating pain from her period and spending hours on the phone trying to resolve an insurance issue regarding an iron infusion referral. After a frustrating back-and-forth between her doctor's office, the infusion center, and her health advocate, she finally receives good news: the claim was denied because of a missing form that her advocate helped secure. This resolution brings a sense of relief, allowing her to move past the bureaucratic headache and focus on enjoying her day, despite feeling like a "hot mess" physically and dealing with some aggressive hair growth. Seeking a dopamine hit and influenced by social media trends, the creator decides to test out a viral recipe involving stuffing an ice cream bar inside an air-fried croissant. She heads to the grocery store to buy croissants, cooking spray, and various flavors of gelato bars, ultimately choosing chocolate cookie crumble and cookies and cream varieties for her experiment. Back home, she prepares the dish by cutting a hole in the center of the croissant, air-frying it until crisp, and then inserting the frozen ice cream bar. While she admits the combination tastes delicious on its own, she concludes that she prefers eating the hot pastry and cold ice cream separately rather than mixed together, giving the viral trend a modest rating of seven out of ten and deciding against making it again. Following her culinary experiment, the creator shifts her focus to home decor and crafting projects aimed at adding more color and personality to her living space. She decides to paint two thrifted picture frames with acrylic paints, opting for a rustic, hand-painted look rather than perfection. One frame receives a blue and green striped design, while the other gets a maroon accent that matches a photo mat she creates from cardstock. She uses her Instax Mini printer to add Polaroid photos of herself and her partner from a recent beach trip, completing the frames which she plans to hang in her stairwell gallery wall or bedroom. This project reflects her desire to refresh her home after living there for nearly a year, balancing her creative impulses with the practicalities of thrifted items and leftover supplies. The vlog concludes with the creator settling into her cozy reading nook to work on her current book, *My Husband's Wife* by Alice Feeney, before winding down for the evening. She shares her thoughts on various TV shows she has been watching, including *Ted Lasso*, which she finds mixed in its latest season but still loves overall, and *Sterling Point*, which she highly recommends despite some initial hesitation about its teenage cast. After a relaxing reading session that ends with an unexpected nap, she prepares for dinner with her partner while watching more television. The day finishes with her usual evening routine of showering, skincare, and reflecting on the simple joys of home life, expressing deep gratitude to her viewers for their continued support as she navigates health challenges and creative hobbies.

you guys, we have neighbor drama. [music] I'm going to censor this. I have no words. I'll [music] admit it, I have been influenced. I'm into that. Update that no one asked for. I'm going to be so honest, [music] it hasn't quite hit for me yet. I found it. I think it's cute. Oh my god. Good morning everybody. Welcome back to another vlog. Morning from me and my comb over. I am doing a fun little 2006 inspired video. So I gave myself a swoop. I'm going to need some hairspray for this, but this is so funny. The way I used to, I'm literally not exaggerating, have this much of my forehead showing at all times is insane. I think I need [clears throat] like a bobby pin. But anyways, good morning. I'm It's just like what, 9:00 a.m. now? Oh no, it's now 10:00 a.m. Great, perfect. I've been on the phone with my doctor, health insurance company. You know how it goes. You know how it goes. I've been on the phone all morning. I'm still trying to figure out the same issue that I mentioned in the last vlog. We'll hopefully get some answers now that I have like a health What is she called? A health advocate or something like that through my health insurance. Oh, the landscaper just got here. Perfect. It's fine. We're rolling with it. That's what we have to do. Like honestly, even the last couple of days, I have just been a hot mess. I've been in so much excruciating pain from my period that I have just laid in bed and done nothing. And this morning I woke up and I said, "Okay, well, whatever that was, moving on." And then you just keep it pushing. So that's what we're doing today. I'm just doing some little braids. I cannot get over this hair. It's not that bad, but it's just the It's kind of bad. You know what I mean? I don't mind the little side part from time to time, but I think it's just the extremely aggressive one where I'm like, "Whoa." We're doing our best. Anyways, let's just take a moment. A moment of zen, shall we? There we go. I'm going to brush my teeth. I'm going to put my lippy on. I'm going to put in my earrings. I'm going to do my thing. I'm going to film my fun little video. Then we will get on with the rest of our day. Everything's going to be fine. Except maybe not this hair. You guys I have no words. I I have no words. This is hilarious. You guys will have to make sure to check out my main channel if you want to watch this. But yeah, I mean hysterical. So glad I did this. All right, it's much later now. It's like almost noon. I am finished with my filming for now. And I'm going to have [clears throat] a little snack. I'm trying to decide what to have. I'm going to have the other one of these. Um these are just like chicken breast bites from Trader Joe's that has a honey mustard dipping sauce cuz it's like a tiny little snack. And then I'm going to have a kiwi. My daily kiwi. You know you know. I've mentioned this so many times before, but this was actually the advice of a GI doctor that I follow online, which is that if you have if you struggle with constipation, let's be honest. If you have like IBS-C or SIBO, the methane one I think. Um have a kiwi per day. It really helps. I'm trying to find like the softest one to eat. That one works. I prefer golden kiwis, but I like any kiwi. And some people eat skins. Sometimes I do. Whoops, sorry. But most of the time I don't. I just eat it with a spoon like a little snack. So I just cut it right down the middle. Look at her. She's a beaut. Then I just take my spoon. And you can scoop it like this. Like it's so much softer than a regular kiwi. Mhm. It's one of my favorite fruits. Mhm, mhm, mhm. All right, so the last time I had this it was it was okay. I don't know if I'd go out of my way to get it again, but I think it was fine and I love honey mustard. And it comes with like a little fork. And then you can just dip it in the sauce. I don't really mind it. I think the sauce makes it pretty good. Like I have something a little crunchy, so actually I don't have that many vegetables, but I'm going to get those. Kiwi juice on my hand. Ew. Honestly, this is pretty elite snack. Quite balanced. This way you got some fiber, got some protein, some carbs. And sometimes I just get so sick of like the idea of a protein bar. But here I am eating cold chicken. Like that's what I've resorted to, I guess. So, to each their own, I suppose. I don't know if I'd like go out of my way to get these again, but they're actually fine. The honey mustard's great. Okay. All right, you know what? I'll admit it. I have been influenced, okay? I have been deeply influenced and I can't take it anymore and I need a little dopamine hit and I need a little joy and I'm going to go to the grocery store and I'm going to try out this viral recipe that I've seen people try. I don't even like using the word viral anymore because it's like it's lost its power. Like everyone calls everything the viral whatever. But I I have quite literally been influenced to the point where I am going to go to the grocery store right now and get the things that I need to make this because it looks so delicious. So, call it what you want, you know? I love being one of the girls. I love being exactly like other girls, right? Like I love trying all the things that people are saying are good and letting you know if they're actually good or not, you know? I love doing that in main channel videos and then sometimes inspiration strikes and I'm like, no, I have to try that today. I will die if I don't. So, that's what we're going to do. We're going to go to the grocery store. There's this recipe, I mean, if you can call it that. Basically, you get a croissant and you stuff an ice cream bar into it and you eat it. Like, that's literally it. So, we'll go more into it, but we also need some cooking spray, a couple of other little things from the grocery store, so I'll grab those and then, you know, we can test this recipe out. I'm literally going to try it after lunch because life is short. Like, there are no rules. Do you know what I mean? So, that's what we're going to do. So, let's go get some stuff to put an ice cream bar inside of a croissant. Sounds amazing. Oh my god. Small update that no one asked for, but basically, I just got a call from my like like I was talking before. I'm just going to keep you updated on this little thing because this is like a normal thing that people deal with, but update on my What is she called? Health advocate from my health insurance. She actually called around this morning. She was making a bunch of different phone calls. She called my claims person, like someone from the claims department for my insurance that like got a little bit more information. Finally got to the bottom of what's been going on and essentially, yeah, like I said before, like they suspected, my doctor was supposed to do things that she didn't end up doing for like prior authorizations before submitting the referral order for the iron infusion. And so, that's what made it bounce back from my health insurance. Like, whatever. When I call my health insurance, they're like, it's the doctor's office. I call the doctor's office, they're like, it's the infusion center. I call the infusion center, they're like, it's your Like, I've just I've I've talked to all three of these people and they're all telling me it's like it's them it's the Spider-Man meme, like literally. Anyways, it does feel like we're moving the needle cuz like I mentioned, I'm not technically anemic at the moment. Like, my hemoglobin and my red blood cell count is good, which thank god, but my iron I still have an iron deficiency. It's just not anemia iron deficiency with anemia. I had to really do a lot of research into what's the difference between like low ferritin and anemia. And it's like, you can have one or both. Regardless, um this health advocate also looked into my health history, looked into all the doctors' appointments I've done, made an entire, like, basically report of, like, all of the treatments that I've previously, like, tried, like, iron supplements, like, going through SIBO treatment, like, going through, you know, this test, this test, this test, whatever. Um and, like, is going to help advocate for me on my behalf, which is so kind. She even called my doctor's office and was like, "You need to submit this form" type of thing, and they were like, "Okay." So, at least, like I said, the needle is moving. Everything is going to be fine. I'm so grateful that it's not something more serious, and that this is, like, my biggest annoyance in life right now. Like, it's a really big moment to just be like, "Yeah, have some gratitude" um because I know it's a lot worse for a lot of other people. We're going inside the grocery store. On our list is ice cream bars, croissants, cooking spray. I can't remember the other things we need, but I have got to try one of these ice cream bars croissants, or I'm not going to make it. So, let's do it. All right, first thing I need to find are croissants. I'm not seeing like a designated bakery section, so there we go. I found them. Thank you. These big boys, these [music] might work. I'm going to do those. Trying to find like the pack with the least amount in them cuz I don't want like 12 croissants. Okay, it's still a little early, but like oh my god. I'm so excited. Look at all these pumpkin spices. We have Chobani pumpkin spice, Starbucks International Delights, Coffee Mate. There's Silk, Califia Farms, Stok, another Califia, whatever you say. Beverage Weave cookies, pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin puff cookies, monster dough. like these all look unbelievable. Pumpkin spice cream cheese. Wow. This cold foam actually is pretty good. Now we're going to look for oil. I never know where anything is at the grocery store. I haven't like learned this one yet. Oh, here we go. Ooh, cooking spray moment. Avocado oil maybe? I think this is the one we usually use. Or And then Drew's been saying he wants to use olive oil for his like eggs and stuff cuz they've been sticking to our Hexclad pans. So we'll get that for him. Now we need to decide which ice cream bar to get to shove [music] in this croissant. Just like a classic, something with chocolate obviously. But I've seen people do like all sorts of different things like pistachio and like, you know, butter. Hmm. What gelato bar? I love gelato. There's like chocolate fudge brownie, there's cookie dough, there's strawberry cheesecake, caramel blondie, peanut butter pretzel. Lord help me. They have Greek yogurt bars if you want something a little lighter. Possibly. Look at how much we have. There's Dubai chocolate bar flavor, there's cookie ones, there's birthday cake ones. I'm like, what do I choose? I'm thinking maybe this like chocolate cookie crumble, like kind of cookies and cream. Or one of these gelato ones, like maybe the cookies and cream of that one. That also just looks like it would fit right in there. I think I might go with this one, but what if it's not good? Should I just get both just in case? Why not? Let's freaking do it. We're sending it. It's a business expense. This is for research. I'm a woman in STEM, okay? Whatever, we're doing it. All right, got the goods. We will try these after lunch. Please remember to take your receipt. >> Thank you. >> All right, we're back home. It's very noisy. I apologize. It is best time of the day. I have my ice and my True Lemon or lime. I can't remember which one I took. What do we have? She's dancing. I'm heating up some leftovers for today's lunch. The only thing that would make this better is if I could be like playing a movie on my kitchen TV. You guys know I thrifted this a few months ago. This TV VCR, I think it's called a CRT TV. I don't know what it's called. And first of all, you're annoying me. Shut up. Thank you. But the I found a person that's kind of close by that does like really good repairs and is very affordable. But I think it's maybe someone that's retired because he's only available Mondays and Tuesdays and I seem to never be able to like call ahead, ask if he's available, etc. on the proper days. So like by the time, you know, it's like today, I could go run it in and see if he's available, but he's not. It's only Mondays and Tuesdays. So I need to do that because being able to like pop in a little VHS while I'm cooking lunch, while I'm like doing crafts, whatever, would be so so nice. All right, cheers. Oh my god, it's so good. I'm reheating some turkey patties that we had last night, basically like turkey burgers. Um we have some mashed potatoes and some broccoli and that's what we're having for lunch because I'm doing a really big lunch dessert and I'm very excited. Could I wait until after dinner? Yeah, but I don't want to. I could have a heart attack and die before then. You know what I mean? My OCD didn't like that one. I was like, "Don't say that. Don't say that." Saying things doesn't make them happen. Believe it or not. If you also have an OCD, I know you probably struggle with that. Yeah, saying things isn't going to make them happen. So it goes. All right, here is today's lunch. We have our steamed broccoli, our turkey patty with a little bit of Sweet Baby Ray's on top, and some mashed potatoes. These are just the Trader Joe's frozen ones. And of course, my sweetie angel, my diet Coke with lemon or lime. I think it might be lime today. All right, I just finished lunch, and you guys, we have neighbor drama. Bird neighbor drama. We've come a long way. Don't worry. But, there's a really big tree like near our house, and there had The other day I was sitting down here doing something. I think I was like editing or writing an email, and I could hear something, and it sounded like a bird, but it was just like a crazy sound. It was like almost like a like a really like aggressive call kind of thing, and I was like, "What the heck?" And so, I like kept doing what I was doing, and then I like went upstairs and was doing stuff, and then I came downstairs like honestly like almost an hour later, and I could still hear it, and I was like, "What the hell?" So, I kind of like quickly opened the front door, and I realized that there was a hawk in the tree nearby, and this bird that was like squealing and squawking, I think is like a mom that was trying to protect her nest, and so I think she was trying to like notify, "Hey, there's a predator, whatever." Or like scare away the hawk. And so, I was like sitting there for a while, and I was like, "I don't know what to do." Like, and I was like, "Hey!" And I was like trying to like clap, cuz you don't want to interfere with nature too much, you know? I'm not going to let this hawk eat these babies, but also it's sad because like he's trying to eat too, and so eventually like I got their attention, and they flew away or whatever, and it just happened again. The same exact thing. This poor mother, she's traumatized. She's trying to just raise her I don't know if it's if she has babies like in the nest or if it's just like eggs at this point, but either way, the babies lived to see another day. I hope, but this hawk is hungry. He wants those babies bad. Anyways, it's ice cream o'clock. I simply must know what this tastes like. Oh, I guess we need to put the um um ice cream back in the freezer because you're supposed to air fry the croissant. So, basically, you take your croissant, air fry it, and then you shove the ice cream in. So, actually, let's put this away until it's time. Let's take croissant. Some people were like cutting it. I don't know. Can't let it go to waste, obviously. I'm going to censor this. Feels Feels wrong. I've seen some people kind of like take a little bit out of the center, and you just need to make sure that there is an opening. I'm so sorry, Queen. Big enough to put an ice cream bar in there. Kind of made a hole through the other side, but that's okay. And we're just going to pop this in the air fryer for like, I don't know, a few minutes. All right, here is how we're looking. It's crispier. Oh my god. How do I pick this up? Wow. I did um I think 375 for like 4 minutes, almost 4 minutes. Now, we're going to get the ice cream. These are called Freddo Gelato bars. Actually, I think these might be perfect because, yeah, look, there's no stick. They're just the perfect size ice cream bar. Honestly, I don't want like a gigantic ice cream bar. Okay, so there we go. I'm just going to have to do it. Oh god. Okay. >> [laughter] >> That is gluttonous. And you know what? I'm not mad at it. Okay, here we go. Cheers. Hm. It's really good, but I think I'd rather eat them separately. Like, I loved the croissant cookie, like the croissant chocolate chip cookie thing. Like, that was one of the best things I've ever eaten. But something about this, I'm like I want the hot croissant to be hot and the cold ice cream to be cold, and like I don't really know if I like them mixed together. Hm. I I don't get me wrong, it's delicious, but I just don't think I would ever like do this again. I'm so disappointed. I thought this was going to be life-changing. I'm going to give that like a seven out of 10. Like in all actuality, it tastes delicious, but I just don't think I want it in that combination. Okay, now I have to move on to the crafting portion of the day. I am feeling crafty, but I just realized I don't have one of the things that I need for this craft. I was going to make a little star garland. I've been seeing so many cute little star garlands on Pinterest, and I was going to do maybe a little bit down the stairs over our mantel, but I just realized I have a gigantic roll of twine that I left back in Arizona, so I'm going to have to pivot and figure something else out. I've got some felt left over that I could do felt art with. Dang, I'm so excited about these colors, too. We have like a maroon, we have a pink. These are really good colors, not so neons or, you know, things like that. So, that will be a project for another day. I could do more junk journaling, but like I kind of just did that in a recent vlog. Let me scroll on Pinterest. I could make little frames for some of the photo strips that I have on my fridge. Like that could also be really cute. And I mean, you do cardstock with that, and then you just put magnets on the back. Like that could be cute. Also, painting some picture frames would be really fun. Like some of the picture frames that I thrifted and like painting them all fun funky colors. That might be cool cuz I'm really like basically, what I'm hoping to do for entering year two of living in this place, which is crazy. We've been here for a full year almost by the time you're seeing this. We want to do it up a little bit more. I feel like there was a lot of energy that went towards it in the very beginning, and then like the holidays came and then I just kind of got busy and just never really ended up doing that much with it. I want to like add some more color throughout the house and I feel like using picture frames is really good way to do that. Like nothing too crazy or anything. And I have maybe like two that I could paint, maybe three. Let's see what we have. Okay, I have three. This first one will be so cute because again, you can put like a photo booth picture in it. That's what I was thinking. I have one that's horizontal actually that has me, Drew and the girls. So we might do that and like I don't know, add some cute fun color. That's currently on our fridge but like we can put it on the wall. Then we have this diva. Obviously she will not be in here any longer. I think this is just the stock image anyway. Um but this could be really cute to like do some fun designs. And then we have this double photo frame, sorry. I just threw that at you. All these were half off by the way, so this was I mean it would had to have been a dollar. This was a dollar and this one was $2. So I think we can work with something. I have some acrylic paint left over from when I made Drew's um little birdhouse. Was that a Christmas present or an anniversary? I can't remember. I have those and then I also have paint like markers, acrylic paint markers. So I think between that we should be good. So let's let's organize. Let's see what we can do. All right, we're back in my cozy corner. I got my comfy clothes on. I have a little work station down here that you're not really able to see that well. Sorry about that. But I've got my two frames that I've decided on, this double frame and then this photo booth strip frame. I have my cup to like clean my brushes if I need to. I have my acrylic paints. I'm going to at least do like the first coat with that. I have a little palette. I have my brushes. I have everything I need. Let's find some colors. Go. Can I need to like think about what I want for both of these. I think I definitely want a striped one, maybe for this one. And then for this one, actually I really kind of like the color of the wood. I'm not sure about this one yet. We're going to decide on that later, but for sure I want to paint this one. So, I'm thinking like a two-tone stripe. So, either blue, pink, or green. Let's do blue. Blue looks good. I don't have a lot of white though, that's the only thing. We'll just do our very best. Testing things out and we'll just see how it goes. We'll use some cerulean. How are we looking here? I feel like freaking what's his name? Bob Ross. Rest in peace, what a legend. Let's just go for it. Ooh, is that better? I'm kind of doing the same color scheme I did when I painted over that frame that I had thrifted when I was back in Arizona. It was like a striped moment. That's okay. Maybe I'll do like instead of blue on blue, I'll do like blue and green or something. That would be cool. That's the fun thing about art projects and crafting is you can do whatever you want. I'm going to try to keep my coats pretty thin so that they don't take forever to dry in between. I'm going to do blue drying in between coats. Okay, now I've got my two coats. I'm trying to decide if I want to do like a darker blue or if I want to do like a contrast color, like a brick red or something like that. That would be really cool. I think the only red I have in marker though is this red, which like that's a little too cartoon-y. So, I guess I'll just need to use a paintbrush, but I think something like this carmine might be really cool. I think these colors are actually really cute together. I think that'll make it kind of funky donkey. I'm into that. I don't want it to be perfect. Like I want it to look hand-painted, so I'm actually okay with it being a little bit rustic. Honestly, kind of winging it. Oops, that one was a little too wide. That's okay. I'm not mad at that, honestly. I think that's kind of cute. Okay, the good news is it's done and it's super cute. I actually like it a lot. I like that it's uneven. I like that it looks hand-painted. I think it's adorable. So, I need to pick out which photos I want to go in this, but I mean, that can be for a later date. But the bad news is I did get some paint on my vintage tank top. So, I'm going to have to work on getting that out, but that's good. I enjoyed doing that much more than scrolling. I think I got like the majority of it out, but I will put some like stain [music] stuff on it and then put it in the washer. But I had the idea of using cardstock as like a background, as a little mat, if you will. I just took the frame apart and cleaned the glass part, by the way. [music] So, I didn't know how to get rid of the sticker. My least favorite thing about thrifting. But I think I will trace around the glass and then use that as the background. It's not the perfect match. It's like a slightly different maroon, but you can't really tell unless you're looking up like super up close, so The thing about crafting is like it's just for fun. You're just supposed to be having fun doing it. It doesn't have to be perfect. Let's cut out our little background. I think that's going to make it so cute. And then I think what I'm going to do is just print out two photos that I like on my mini What is it called? Instax Mini printer, which prints them as Polaroids. Polaroids will go on either side right here and then be framed in the middle. Huh? You doubted me, didn't you? Yeah, I knew you did. It's okay. Ugh. Beautiful, gorgeous, perfect. I think I've decided on the photos that I want. I hope they'll turn out cute. >> [music] >> I'm doing two photos of me and Drew when we were at the beach the other day. They're both so cute and I thought they'd be cute like side [music] by side. Although they're supposed to be portrait no, landscape and I'm printing them portrait cuz that's like all that I can do, so I still think it's going to be really cute. I'm very excited. All right, it's all assembled. Are you ready for the final result? I think it's cute. Wait, the reflection's kind of weird, but look at that. It's adorable. Like sorry, that's so much cuter than just a plain frame. So I'm trying to decide if I want to hang it on the stairwell, like on our little gallery wall at the stairs, or if I want to hang it in our bedroom. We need more color in both places, but I'm actually super happy with it. And yeah, if you look up super close, like the colors aren't exactly the same, but I think it looks so cute. Got my little art hanger hook thing that I've talked about before where you basically insert it into your drywall like kind of like this and then this is the only part that sticks out and so this bears the weight and it's just more secure, etc. I'm not sure if I want to do it like down here underneath this cuz I think I want to eventually hang things off of that. I could also do up here somewhere. This is getting a little funky in this corner and I like it. Or I could add a little bit more up here. I think I'm leaning towards this. >> New angle unlocked. >> I don't think that's going to show you what I'm doing, but that's okay. That is so cute. I love it. All right, the reading nook is beckoning. It is calling me. It is saying, "Come lay down, relax a little bit, get some reading done." So, that's what I'm going to do. Brought my extra pillow. Sometimes I have a blanket up here, but I'm wearing a sweatshirt right now. I'm actually I'm actually wearing the sweatshirt that I got for today's main channel video or like, you know, I featured in today's main channel video. So, it's nice and fresh and clean. I'm going to lay up here. I'm going to try to actually make some progress on my book because I feel like Hello. I feel like the more I get older, the more I only specifically, unless I like designated set aside a time to read, I'm just reading before bed and then I'm reading like the same thing over and over again. And I got a little bit into my book on the beach, but then we left. So, I really want to like get a good chunk of reading done. Like I'd love It's 4:20 right now. I'd love to read for like an hour. We'll see how much we can get done. I really want to do another reading vlog soon. Let me know if you guys would want to see that where I just like have a dedicated reading vlog. I take you along with me like the whole day and I try to read like a whole book or something like that. I know that type of stuff isn't typically loved as much on long form, but I really enjoy it. So, we'll see. Anyways, I am reading I've talked about it before, but I'm reading a book called My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney. And so far the premise is that there is a woman who shows up to her house after a run and another woman answers the door that looks like her. And she's like, "What are you doing here?" And the woman's like, "What are you talking about? I live here." And she's like, "No, I live here." And she's like, "What is your name?" And she tells her and she's like, "That's my name." And then like, that's basically where it leaves off. Um so, we are going to post up, get really, really cozy. I already like, "Oh no, I'm going to fall asleep." This is what I do when I read. And then, we'll see how far we can get in our book. [music] Well, as a surprise to no one, I fell asleep. I think I read for like, yeah, about an hour and then I took like a 30-minute nap, 20-minute nap, something like that. Anyways, been up for a little bit scrolling and now it is time to make some dinner. I think we're having spaghetti tonight. We really honestly rotate the same meals, the same like five meals, almost every single week. So, tonight's spaghetti. Drew's making us dinner and I'm trying to figure out what show we're going to watch first tonight cuz we are big TV dinner people. That I don't know if that's the right word. We like to eat and watch a show. I mean, sometimes we like sit outside or whatever. I'm really looking forward to it getting cooler outside so we can like enjoy some nice outside dinner time. I think that's going to be really nice. But, um we have been watching the new season of Ted Lasso. I'm going to be so honest, it hasn't quite hit for me yet. Like I I really thought that the ending was good. I'm Let me just say that that is one of my favorite shows of all time. Like, it's one of my favorite shows of all time. I just don't know if I felt like it was necessary to bring back yet. I'm not sure. But, I do really, really love the addition of like the women's team and I'm hoping that this next episode is going to be like really good. I guess I'm just kind of like I don't know. I don't know how I feel about it just yet. It'll Just give me some time. And then, we finished Sterling Point like, I don't know, a week ago. I haven't updated since. I actually ended up really loving it. Like really, really loving it. I still felt like there were parts of it where I was just like, am I too old to be watching this? Like I don't um know how I feel about watching like teenagers and that kind of stuff, but I mean they're all adults in real life. And and then also like we've all been teenagers at one point, you know, so. Really for me I loved like kind of towards the end of the season. I thought it was so good. One of the final scenes that's really, really sad. I won't spoil anything, but I was like holding in sobs. Like it was it was so sad and so good. And I didn't realize at first that the show was created by Megan Park who used to be in Secret Life of the American Teenager. And yeah, she did a phenomenal job. It's a really great show. So I will definitely be watching season 2. Um and then we also started a show called Ludwig Ludwig on I think it's a BBC show maybe possibly, but we have it on BritBox. And I think a few of you guys had actually recommended it to us. I think there's only one season or maybe two. And we are probably two or three episodes in and it's actually pretty good. It's not like my favorite show I've ever seen, but I do like it. And it's good to like watch, you know, in the evenings. We pop on an episode and it's funny and it's good and it's quirky and yeah, I really like it. So that is currently what we've been watching. I'm looking forward to dinner and chill time. I put a ungodly amount of Parmesan cheese. Don't judge me, but there's ground turkey. There's an entire massive summer squash diced up in here and then the sauce and linguine and my garlic bread. >> [snorts] >> And Ted Lasso. >> It's time. >> [screaming] >> That one? >> Let me cook. >> Let you cook? Let her cook. >> It's time. >> [laughter] >> What did you say? >> I'm going to have a laugh. >> lot for Christmas, Jellycats. >> Yes, I do want the niece to Christmas tree. >> It's going to be another Jellycat Christmas? >> If you don't, I'm slapping you. >> We're getting slapped. >> Ripping off your beard. Find out where you live. >> All right, it is that time. It is time to unwind. We just had like a hour-long FaceTime with Drew's sister and one of our nieces. The other one was softball, but she is cracking us up. Anyway, we are wrapping up the day. This is pretty much going to do it for me. I'm going to take a quick little shower, take off my makeup, do my skin care. I've been testing out a red-light therapy mask. I think I've mentioned that. I did it last night, so I'm not going to do it again tonight, but I've been doing it like four times a week, I would say, in addition to trying to be better about using my tretinoin. I actually think I'm going to do that tonight. I'm really trying to improve my skin overall. I had just horrific skin for so long that like I just kind of ignored it and pretended it wasn't happening. And then like I went through a phase where I was getting facials and using all these different products. And I think I did like way too much. And so now I'm like after years of scaling it back and just using like Vanicream and nothing else pretty much, I'm like trying to build back up and do more stuff with my skin. But yeah, I am going to take a nice shower. I'm going to head to bed. And I hope you guys enjoyed hanging out with me for today's vlog.
