Video summary
The vlogger begins her day by sharing a quick update on her hair routine before diving into meal planning for the upcoming week, which involves grocery shopping for fresh ingredients like ground turkey, spinach, and various vegetables to prepare healthy dinners such as meatballs with green beans and roasted chicken pasta. She also treats herself to a seasonal salted coconut nitro cold brew at a local coffee shop inspired by New York trends before preparing a quick lunch of gluten-free tempura-style chicken bites in a fresh salad dressing made from balsamic vinegar, olive oil, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. After enjoying her meal, she heads out for Pilates despite feeling tired, emphasizing that the structured nature of class-based workouts is essential for maintaining consistency compared to working out alone at a gym where it would be too easy to skip sessions without financial penalty.
Later in the day, she visits her salon client who has been on a long journey to repair damaged hair from previous aggressive highlighting and box dye use; after months of gentle maintenance with demi-permanent color and split-end trims, their goal is now to slowly introduce lighter tones while blending gray hairs into natural layers without further damaging the strands. The stylist uses Malibu CPR treatments to restore health before applying a level six demi-permanent to cover grays subtly rather than creating opaque full coverage, aiming for dimension that resembles baby highlights which can eventually be blended with more sparkly pieces as her hair grows out and recovers from past trauma. Following this appointment, she is surprised by a friend who takes her on an impromptu sushi date night, though the late return home means she skips meal prepping and will need to order food for dinner later that evening while working extended hours at the salon.
The following days bring significant personal news as the vlogger reveals plans for a much-anticipated trip to Punta Cana in October after winning a giveaway on Love Island watch parties, an event marked by heavy rain, flooding roads, and a sudden power outage that nearly canceled their attendance but ultimately led them to win the prize anyway. She reflects humorously on how this dream vacation aligns with inside jokes about wanting an all-inclusive resort since breaking up ten years ago when she last visited there, noting that despite passport expiration concerns requiring a new photo retake soon, the timing feels fated and exciting for her upcoming getaway. With work slowing down temporarily to allow time for household chores like updating driver's licenses and voter registration alongside yard maintenance during brief sunny windows before another rainy season hits, she enjoys cleaning the house, trimming overgrown vines in the garden despite swarms of bugs, and spending a perfect pool day with friends at their apartment complex clubhouse.
As the weekend approaches, she wraps up her vlog by discussing upcoming plans including a brand deal where she will create user-generated content for a local restaurant while enjoying free lunch, as well as potential opportunities to take passport photos if time permits before heading out for beach dinners and bar hopping with friends later that night. She takes care of her hair one last time using hairspray to tame her widow's peak after washing it post-pool session, ensuring she looks presentable for both the brand shoot and social engagements while expressing gratitude for a productive week filled with client work, home improvements, and cherished moments spent outdoors or by the water before looking forward to an amazing upcoming vacation.

>> Good morning. Welcome back to another
vlog. I'm so excited to be vlogging
today.
I feel like I have so much that I want
to tell you, but hold on. First things
first,
I
blew my hair out smooth
this morning and then I just like
twisted it into a low bun while I was in
Pilates. Oh, yeah. I was hoping it would
give me like a little bit
of
like a curl on the ends.
But, happy Tuesday. Yeah, it's Tuesday
afternoon. I went to Pilates, stopped at
the grocery store, and got some really
good food for the week. Yesterday, I was
sort of planning out what kind of meals
I want to make. Let me do a little
grocery haul when I put the stuff away.
Oh, but also, I stopped at um a local
coffee shop and I got
their salted coconut nitro cold brew.
It's just like a seasonal drink they
have right now on this like special menu
that I think I saw online is like
inspired [snorts] by some famous coffee
shop in New York. I don't know, but I
was like, "Ooh." I I saw it on their
Instagram
yesterday and I was like, "I need to try
that sounds so good."
And it is incredible, but I'm so glad I
got a small cuz it's very sweet. But, oh
my god, it is so good. Mm.
I got some sourdough bread. I got
ground turkey. I want to make
ground turkey meatballs. I got spinach,
grape tomatoes
that I'm going to roast up to make a
pasta with.
Um I got some green beans. I got
asparagus.
I got tomatoes on the vine.
I got a cucumber.
I got some broccoli.
Needed more garlic. I got some balsamic
vinegar. I'm so excited cuz I'm about to
make a salad right now
um with these gluten-free chicken breast
bites. They're tempura style. So excited
to try these. Um I follow Danielle
Carolyn here on YouTube and there's this
salad that she makes all the time and
she just takes like cut up breaded
chicken strips with cucumber, tomato, I
think red onion, and um like a
vinaigrette. And it just looks and
sounds so fresh. So I'm going to make
that cuz I'm starving. Um and then I got
a couple
Alani's cuz I just like to always have
them around. You just never know.
Sometimes I just need those. I'm going
to do the turkey meatballs with green
beans on the side and probably like some
jasmine rice.
And then I'm going to make angel hair
pasta. I have some chicken breast in the
fridge. So I'm going to make chicken
um with the asparagus, broccoli, and the
grape tomatoes roasted up. I think I
have some red peppers in there, too. So
I'll probably throw that in, some
garlic. It's just really yummy. And um
yeah, this salad I'm about to make now.
And then
um I have frozen fruit and coconut milk.
So, I got the spinach so that I can use
that to make smoothies and then
sourdough
for breakfast. I can have like some
sourdough toast with eggs. But, I'm
going to cook these up. I'm going to put
them in the air fryer
and then just chop up some cucumber,
tomatoes,
and I I think I have red onion.
Yeah.
Perfect. And then drizzle a little bit
of the balsamic vinegar and a little
olive oil, salt, pepper. And that'll be
my lunch. So, let me put this stuff
away, make that really quick, and I'll
show you how it looks after. All right,
here it is. And it doesn't necessarily
look the most appetizing probably, but
it smells amazing. Just going to put a
little bit of
olive oil. It's so nice to have this
spray bottle for it.
So, I can just do a light amount and
then I'm just going to do a little
drizzle of the vinegar.
And then a little
salt and pepper.
Just do a little taste test. I'm going
to try to get a bite of everything.
Mhm.
But, I am going to
enjoy this and then get ready for work.
I have to leave in about like 40 minutes
to head to the salon. So, I will see you
there.
My god, my little turtle friend is back.
So cutie.
Okay, I'm at the salon now, obviously. I
have my first client
down the hall in the processing room
under heat.
>> [snorts]
>> I am so excited for this appointment.
She's been coming to me for
over Yeah, over a year now, I guess. And
it has been a journey with her hair. She
used to color her hair with permanent. I
want to say she used box dye, too.
Um I'm pretty sure. But
she has not a lot of gray, but enough
that it's like noticeable enough to
bother her cuz her natural color is
pretty dark. And anyway, she was like
doing permanent color, covering over her
grays for a while, and then decided that
she wanted to attempt to do gray
blending.
But
I think the stylist that she went to
just
doesn't specialize in that. And she got
her hair highlighted. I think she went
two times to the same person and got her
hair highlighted, and they completely
destroyed her hair. It was
fried, and it didn't even get that
light.
Um it was like really uneven and brassy
and pretty orange. And but she literally
had breakage that was like this long
at the crown of her head. And
yeah, it was
it was pretty rough. And so then she
found me, and we've just been like
nursing her hair slowly back to health.
And literally, I think for the first
several months, I didn't even give her
like an actual full-on haircut. I would
like take her hair, and I would just
like trim all like the little dead split
ends so that we would could like keep
her length as much as possible while
slowly like growing it out and just
babied it. And she's been like so good
about taking care of it at home. And
we've just been doing demi-permanent
to help cover her grays
in between as, you know, she's been
growing it out and getting it healthy
again. And now her hair finally is like
long enough. Those pieces that were once
like this short are now like long enough
that I was able to blend everything and
do like long layers and it it looks so
cute and it's so shiny and healthy and
it's really only like the last couple
inches
on her ends that have the old
highlights.
Um and it's just so much healthier and
it
yeah, so much better. Um so now we're
not going to like
do any lightening and start with like
adding highlights to like blend the gray
just yet, but we're going to slowly
start the process of
just getting her a little bit
lighter. So, um I was using a level four
demi-permanent to cover her roots and
now we want to hopefully aim for being
able to do a level six instead.
So that way she can just be a little bit
of like a lighter brown overall and then
in a few months, like I I said once
summer's over I think it'll be a good
time because it's just easier when
you're like not out in the sun and going
to the beach and all of that. And plus
she's very traumatized from everything
that has happened to her hair, of
course. So she's like kind of scared to
do too much anyway, so
we're just taking baby steps now, but I
am doing the Malibu CPR treatment on
her. So, step one is the color
disruptor. That is currently on her hair
um processing under the heat.
And then
um once that is done, I'm going to wash
it out and follow it up with the CPR
packet. Then I'm going to rough dry her
and see what we get as far as the color
and then
we'll go from there with a
demi-permanent to cover over her grays.
I'm very excited. I will show you what
her hair looks like after the full
clarifying system is done and her hair's
dry.
I need this today.
Good morning.
Oh my god, I need
the caffeine so bad today.
I have not snoozed my alarm that much in
a long time. I snoozed for
an hour and a half. I literally or no, a
little more than that, I guess. I got
out of bed. Oh my god, is that a turtle?
Hurry, get over to the other side.
Luckily this isn't like a busy
main road. He and he's almost
to the other side of the road. Aw.
There was that turtle in my front yard
yesterday. That's a different one. The
coloring's different, but aw, and I
forgot well, by the time I got home last
night
um [snorts]
it was almost dark out. I forgot to look
for him or her, I don't know. I probably
was not the same exact turtle, but very
similar-looking turtle. A couple months
ago, I opened my front door
to go leave and it was just sitting
there right in front of my front door.
And then I think I was like just going
to the grocery store or something and by
the time I got back it was gone. But
yeah,
so cute. I get so many cute animals in
my front yard and it's so funny cuz I
have a doorbell camera, so it'll go off
whenever it detects motion outside. And
middle of the night it'll go off
and I check and it's always some kind of
animal. It's either a cat or a deer. One
morning at like 5:00 in the morning,
there was a mama deer with her little
baby and they were just laying there and
she's like licking the baby and the
baby's like running around. I feel like
Snow White. And it's like, I love that
these animals come and they feel like
safe to just
be in my yard. And I love that I can
watch them from the camera without like
scaring them off or disturbing them. So
sweet. Anyway, yeah, I literally didn't
get out of bed until like 20 minutes
before I needed to leave. And I had to
let Benny out, refill his food and water
bowls, get myself ready, obviously. So,
yeah, I was just rushing around. And now
I'm on my way to Pilates, which I really
don't feel like going. But the gym and
>> [clears throat]
>> I could technically call them and say
like I'm sick or something, but I try to
only do that if I actually am
legitimately sick. [clears throat]
Because technically, if you cancel
within like a 12-hour window, they're
supposed to charge you a cancellation
fee and
I just it's just, you know, not worth
it. Especially when I'm already paying
my membership. So, it's like the class
in a sense is already paid for and then
I am paying extra money on top of it to
not go. So, it's just not worth it if
I'm just being like lazy. Yeah, I really
[clears throat] I would have loved to
skip it and if I could have just like
canceled it on the app with no
repercussions, I definitely would have.
But this is why for me, like I'm so
grateful that I'm able to do this and to
afford to go take these classes because
this is the only way I can like be held
accountable. Cuz if I just had to like
go show up to a gym and work out on my
own, I I wouldn't go. Like and I just
would not have been able to stay as
consistent as I have been.
It's the fact that like the classes are
already signed up for
and I got to go.
So, yeah, I'm feeling super tired
um and
Thank god it's Pilates though, right?
And not like CrossFit or something like
super high intensity.
Cuz I just don't have the energy in me
for that today. But we're going to go do
this Pilates class and then I have two
clients at the salon. They're both kind
of like longer appointments, so it's
still going to be like full longish work
day. But I'm looking forward to it
actually, despite being tired, cuz it's
two of my regulars and I just really
enjoy spending time with them. So, it'll
be a good day. I just need to wake up a
little bit, but honestly this is helping
already. And
sorry I didn't end up vlogging anything
else yesterday. Completely forgot to get
an after clip of my client's hair, but
it didn't look significantly different
from the last clip that I had showed you
after doing the clarifying treatment. I
just then like covered her grays.
And because I used a demi-permanent and
I ended up doing a level six on her, so
that's what we're going to start using
from now on. So, it's not like as dark
and as like opaque full coverage. So, it
still like deposits color on top of her
grays, but it keeps the dimension of
them, so it almost makes them look like
little baby highlights.
And then we're just going to keep doing
that for a while until eventually we
like add more of those sparkly looking
highlights so that they blend in with
the gray and then she can eventually
just sort of like let it grow out.
That's the goal. But yeah, it looked
good and it's just getting so healthy so
that's the most important thing. But my
man showed up and surprised me.
He texted me like as I was getting
towards the end of my client's hair and
said he wanted to meet me up for dinner
and I was like
but tonight? RIGHT NOW? OKAY.
So he showed up
and um
took me to get sushi. It was really
sweet and just so nice and I'm just not
used to stuff like that. I'm
so
incredibly above and beyond happy. Like
I can't even
express to you.
So yeah, but that was nice. We went on a
little date night. But the only thing is
that because we ended up going out and
then by the time I got home it was
already like 8:30. I was planning on
cooking dinner last night and then
having leftovers that I could bring for
lunch today. But since that didn't
happen, I don't have any meal prep. So
I'm going to have to
get food delivered to the salon cuz I'm
going to be working until
like 6:00 or 6:30 and I can't wait that
long to eat. But yeah, that is the
update. So I'll see you when I get to
the salon.
Good morning. Happy Friday. I didn't
vlog anything yesterday. It was a very
boring day. It was productive though. Um
I went to Pilates in the morning, went
to work, and then
came home and just got a bunch of things
checked off my to-do list. Like I
finally ordered a new driver's license
with my updated address cuz my driver's
license right now still has my old
address from my last apartment. And
obviously now that I bought a house, I'm
like, "Okay, it's worth it to take the
time to update my address on everything
because this is obviously going to be my
permanent address for a while. And I
just want everything to be like
streamlined and match up. And I had to
renew my car registration last month. So
now that that's updated, I figured I may
as well do my license and my voter
registration and like all that kind of
stuff.
And my passport is going to expire this
September.
And I actually have a trip coming up.
That was one of the things that I wanted
to update you on. It is so crazy. So
listen to this story. I have been saying
for like the last few years in a row
I've been wanting to go on a vacation to
an all-inclusive. I went one time, like
literally 10 years ago.
Some of you have been following me since
then, so maybe you remember because I
did post a vlog from that trip. But it
was literally, yeah, like the end of
2016, right before I started cosmetology
school. And it was with my boyfriend at
the time. I went with him and his
parents
um to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
And
funny enough, we ended up breaking up a
month after that trip. So we were kind
of at that point in our relationship
where it was like
you know, we just weren't getting along
a lot of the time, and I just wasn't
like
super happy. Even though I was so
grateful to be invited on that trip with
his family and I did have a really good
time, but
I remember the whole time thinking like,
this would be so much more fun if I was
with my friends or something or like
just someone that I got along with more
that wanted to do the same things as me
and that I wasn't like arguing with and
you know, like I don't know. It was just
like a very awkward
time in our relationship. But it was so
beautiful and like ever since that trip,
I've been wanting to go back or at least
do something similar like an
all-inclusive somewhere in the
Caribbean. Maybe a month or two ago,
I was out with the guy I've been dating
and some of our friends and my friend
Mandy. That night in particular, I kept
saying like, we should go on vacation.
We need to go to an all-inclusive. We
need to go to Punta Cana. It became like
this vocal stim where we just kept
saying, Punta Cana and it just like
became this inside joke and whenever
we'd be like on the phone with each
other or we'd see each other, that was
like how we would greet each other.
And it's just like been our thing the
last few months.
Anyway,
so Mandy saw on Instagram,
there's a bar in our town that had been
doing Love Island watch parties
and they were going to do a watch party
for the finale and with that, they were
doing a giveaway to a trip to Punta Cana
to an all-inclusive resort. And she was
like, oh my god, it's like meant to be
because we keep, you know, that's our
thing and you keep saying that we got to
go to Punta Cana to an all-inclusive and
obviously we love Love Island and we had
been keeping up with it. So it was
basically like you had to go there at
some point throughout that week um and
like order a bucket of drinks, a large
pizza, blah blah blah and then be there
for the the
watch party when they draw the winning
ticket.
So, we're like, "All right, we're going
to go to the finale and we're going to
get the pizza and the drinks and
whatever and enter." But, people had
been entering like the whole entire
week. So, what are the chances, you
know, that we're going to win? Well, the
night of the finale,
it was storming so bad here. It was
pouring rain, thundering, lightning. The
roads were flooding. That's how much
rain we were getting. And I was like, "I
don't know like if they're still having
the watch party because this particular
bar, they have a big giant projector
screen, but it's everything's outside.
And like it's only the actual bar part
itself is inside.
And it's like
I don't know. The the part that's
actually like indoors and covered is
pretty small. So, I was like, "How are
they planning on having a whole watch
party and keeping all of these people?"
Like I don't know if there's going to be
enough space cuz the outdoor area is
like 90% of this bar. And we kept
checking their Instagram to see like did
they post any updates saying like
they're canceling it or anything? They
didn't. So, we highly considered cuz I
was kind of like, "Well, what you know,
we're most likely not going to win
anyway and like we could just stay home
and watch the finale at home and not get
rained on and deal with like tight
spaces and a big crowd of people."
So, we almost didn't go. We get there,
cannot find parking anywhere.
And the roads are like flooding at this
point. So, we're driving around in
circles looking for a spot, looking for
a spot. Almost gave up and turned around
and just came back home. We finally find
a parking spot.
We're walking to the bar,
literally getting like our feet Thank
god I wore flip-flops because literally
we're just walking through puddles. The
water is like up to our ankles. As we
are approaching the the
a transformer blows
and all these people are like coming
out, leaving the bar, and they're like,
"Oh, are you going to the rift?" Because
all their power is out. Almost stopped
right there and then and just left. But
then, we're like, "Nope.
We We're We're We're going to see this
through. We're going to go."
>> [clears throat]
>> We get inside. It is completely
>> [laughter]
>> pitch black. We have our flashlights on
our phones.
Honestly, thank god. Like, it just
worked out so perfectly because had the
power not gone out and we had to stay
there, it was so packed with people
because everyone, you know, it was
raining. So, everyone's in the little
small indoor area, and it was like
bodies on bodies. It was so hot from the
body heat. It was awful. Obviously, they
have to cancel this now. And this was 20
minutes before the finale was supposed
to start. And, you know, we can't like
enter or follow the rules because we
were supposed to like order stuff, and
they can't take any orders cuz there's
no power. Obviously, like they can't
make pizza in the kitchen. But, we were
like, "All right. Well, let's go to the
bar anyway and just see if they'll give
us raffle tickets cuz like we're here.
We tried."
>> [snorts]
>> And luckily, they did. They gave us the
tickets anyway, and we literally just
took the tickets. Thank you. Turned
around and left. And we went and we just
got food somewhere else and just watched
the finale at home. I was really
underwhelmed, by the way. It was like so
predictable. I'm like, "Damn, I should
have entered some kind of like betting
thing or whatever because I literally
called it like the exact order
of the couples.
Um I just I knew it. I just felt like it
was just so obvious. Anyway, like this
whole season, I mean, there were
definitely entertaining moments and
quotable moments, but overall, it was
like kind of boring how a lot of the
couples just stayed together from the
very beginning.
But, I mean, if they really like each
other, good for them. Happy for them,
but
it wasn't as entertaining to watch, you
know? If you also were watching Love
Island this season, leave me a comment.
Let me know what you thought and who was
your favorite couple out of everybody.
Anyway, so the bar said, you know,
obviously like we got to cancel the
watch party.
Um we will draw the winning ticket and
we will post it on our Instagram later.
So, next morning I wake up, I open
Instagram, it's the first thing that
pops up on my feed, and it's a video of
them dumping out all of the tickets and
pulling the winning one, and sure enough
we won. Well, my friend Mandy had the
winning [clears throat] ticket cuz we
each got one and um
we had said like we're entering
together, obviously, so if one of us
wins, we both win because the
prize is a trip for two people. And I
knew it, too, because mine was like one
off. I think the winning ticket was like
51 da da da something 46, and I had blah
blah blah blah blah 47, and she had hers
was handed to her before me. So, I was
like, I text her immediately and I was
like, "Did you check the video? Look at
your ticket. Which number do you have?"
She left it in her car, so she's like,
"Okay, hang on, let me go get it." And
I'm like dying of anticipation.
And all of a sudden she FaceTimes me and
she had the winning ticket, and we were
screaming.
Just freaking out. Like I
I couldn't believe it. And the fact that
like there were so many things that
happened that night that almost stopped
us from going altogether, but it just
was meant to be. Like it was truly meant
to be. And I'm like, we manifested that
The fact that that was like our
little inside joke, and then they
happened to be offering this giveaway.
So random because like what does Punta
Cana have to do with Love Island? Like
they film Love Island in Fiji, you know,
like it's just very specific. I mean, I
know like Punta Cana is a very popular
destination for like all inclusive and
you know, that kind of thing, but still
it was just like of all places. They
have a local travel agent that's setting
up the whole thing for us. So we were in
communication with him.
And we just got our itinerary this
morning. So yeah, we're going to Punta
Cana
um at the end of October.
I'm so so excited, but my passport is
going to expire before then. So I was
online seeing like what I need in order
to renew it. All I need is to
get a new photo. So at some point, I
obviously want to do it like sooner
rather than later just to be on the safe
side cuz I know sometimes they can get
delayed and take a while. So within like
the next, you know, week or so, I'm
going to take
my picture for that. And I'm actually
really excited because my photo
obviously is 10 years old now cuz it's
expiring this year and I hate my
passport photo. I hated it from the very
beginning. So I've been waiting 10 years
to get to retake my photo. I hate my
driver's license photo too and it's so
funny because I did it a few summers ago
when my hair was to my chin and blonde.
So it doesn't even really look like me
and I also was like 20 lb heavier
>> [laughter]
>> in that picture, but it's in black and
white. So I feel like it's not as
obvious and whatever.
Um I would have had to make an
appointment at the DMV and go through
all that in order to retake my driver's
license photo, which is just not worth
it. Um I was able to just change my
address and order a new one online with
using the same photo that I already had.
So whatever. But my passport photo, I'm
very excited. Even though it's such a
stupid thing, like it really doesn't
matter. Who cares? But,
I don't know. I feel like
I never get a good photo for like my
passport, driver's license, anything
like that. So, it would just be really
nice
to actually get a nice photo. And the
fact that I can take it myself,
I can take as many as I want and choose
the best one and like really make sure I
like how it looks. So, all you need to
do is stand in front of like a white or
off-white plain solid
wall. I'm off today. I was supposed to
have a client in the afternoon, but she
ended up rescheduling. This week has
just been another slow week, but then
next week I'm oh going to be drowning
because I'm going to be so booked and
busy.
So, I'm like, you know what? It's kind
of nice. Like, I'll take it, you know?
I'll I'll take the Friday off
to um just get stuff done. So, then that
way I can go into next week and just
focus on work and not feel overwhelmed
because I hate when I'm super super busy
with work, but then I also have like so
much stuff that I need to be doing at
home and I just like don't have the time
and energy to do both.
So, I want to make sure the house is
like nice and clean today before I start
my weekend cuz I know once the weekend
comes, that's the thing. Like, weekends
in the summer,
I I just know I'm going to want to be
out and like going to the beach and with
my friends. So, I'm not going to kid
myself and be like, "Oh, I'll I'll get
to that over the weekend." No, I'm not
going to. So, I'm going to
do as much today as I can and
do a little bit. There's like some weeds
out in the garden because with all the
rain that we've been getting like the
last few weeks, everything's just been
growing like crazy. So, there's a bunch
of stuff I need to pull and cut down in
the backyard. So, I'm going to do
a little bit of outdoor stuff today,
too. It's only 10:00 now, so
I got plenty of time cuz I would really
love at some point later today cuz
today's supposed to be like really nice
and hot and sunny.
So, it would be really nice to
like either go to the beach or a pool or
something like that. Oh my god, yeah,
look cuz then it's supposed to literally
rain. Like today and tomorrow are the
only days without rain.
And then the whole like next 10 days
we're supposed to get rain, so
want to take advantage
while I can.
>> [music]
[music]
>> all
of this stuff
I cut down a few weeks ago and just
within like the last 2 weeks, it has all
sprouted back up and grown that much.
It's crazy. So,
we're going to go trim that down and
some of the
vines that are coming through the fence.
>> [music]
[music]
>> Oh [snorts] my god, I was out there for
couldn't have been longer than 15
minutes.
It is so disgustingly hot and my legs
are already so itchy. I can just feel
that I got
eaten up by mosquitoes just in those few
minutes and I am
covered in sweat and it's just so nasty
out there and there's just so many bugs
and uh, so I trimmed down everything
that was starting to sprout back up.
Oh, [sighs] wait. I should check.
I know there was one I wanted to cut in
the front of the house, too. I'll do
that really quick, but
yeah, I just have to wait till the fall.
Like wait till summer is over because
it's just so nasty out there right now.
And
yeah, like like I said, with the bugs,
it just grosses me out and
>> [laughter]
>> it's like just feels so disgusting.
And I feel like on a nice cool breezy
fall day, it will be so much more
enjoyable and I could just be out there
for hours because I do enjoy doing
outdoor things. Like, I could put
headphones on and zone out and pull
weeds for hours, but not when it's so
nasty out like this. And like it's too
hot to wear long pants and long sleeves
and sneakers and all that, obviously.
But I also feel like it skeeves me out
having my skin just exposed. So, yeah.
I'm just going to continue doing what I
can just to sort of like maintain
everything
throughout the rest of summer and then
come fall, I'll really like
spend more time
to fix it up out there, but
yeah.
That's That's all I got in me. But I'm
glad that I started inside.
Um
I got everything super clean
in here, mopped the floors.
I have [sighs and gasps]
candles burning now in all the rooms to
get it smelling nice and good. This guy
right here.
Mhm.
Got to go.
This guy.
Yeah.
Okay. Oh my god, just stepping out there
for a minute got soaked in sweat again.
Ooh.
But yeah, it smells nice and clean and
fresh inside. I just have laundry that I
need to
finish running through. I want to wash
all the rugs. Well, not all of them. Not
this
big huge one, but
the rug by the front door and the
hallway rug are washable and it's been a
long time since I washed those. So, I'm
going to hop in the shower and get my
pool bag together. Um my friend Mandy
has
a gorgeous pool and clubhouse at her
apartment complex and I literally feel
like I'm like out of resort whenever we
go over there. So, um she got done with
work early for the day. So, we're going
to go lay out and have a pool day, which
I'm so excited for because it's
literally it's just so hot and
disgusting today that it's either like
stay inside or go
be in water somewhere. So,
>> [sighs]
>> Okay. I'll see you at the pool.
>> [music]
[music]
>> Good morning. Happy Saturday. Yesterday
was the most perfect day off. It was
productive.
I got the house cleaned, took care of
some yard maintenance.
And then went and hung out with my
friend at the pool and
we had the perfect pool day. Like
nothing crazy, chatting, catching up,
being excited about our trip. I got a
lot of sun. Well, I can't show you. It's
like mostly my chest and like my legs,
too, which I don't have pants on right
now, so. But anyway, but you know when
you get a lot of sun and then you just
feel exhausted
afterwards? That's how I was feeling.
But yeah, I came home. I watched the
last couple episodes of Five Star
Weekend. That ended up being
a cute show. Like nothing crazy. It
wasn't one of those shows
that I was like
dying to rush home to finish watching,
you know? But it was a good like
just easy
easy watch. So, yeah, I finished
watching that and then I just went to
sleep early because I like physically
could not stand
to be awake any longer. So, I was out
cold by 9:30,
which was nice because then I woke up
this morning with no alarm and I felt
really refreshed cuz I am working today,
actually. At least for the first half of
the day. I am going to go out later
tonight with my friends and we're going
to go
down by the beach, get dinner, and then
do a little bar hopping, so that should
be fun. But um I am going to the salon.
I just have one client. I wasn't
planning on taking clients today, but
one of my regulars reached out and asked
if I could give her a haircut. So, I'm
going to go do that and hopefully get
some content.
I'm going to try to record the process
of her haircut. We'll see how that goes
cuz it's always tricky
recording what I'm doing and making sure
I'm like getting the right angles and
that my arm is not in the way and that
you can actually see what I'm doing, but
also focus on what I'm doing and make
sure I'm like
doing
a good job.
>> And then I have a brand deal.
Um it's like a UGC
kind of thing, which stands for
user-generated content, which is
exciting. This is going to be, I think,
my first time, I want to say, doing
something like this, which is crazy
since I've been, you know, on YouTube
and like making content for over 10
years now. But, um normally any brand
deal I've ever done
over the years is stuff that like I'm
posting on my own platform and promoting
to my own followers. But, this is
like I'm just making a reel, basically,
and sending it to the brand, and I'm not
posting it on my own page. I'm just
getting the content for them to then use
on their own platform. And it's actually
a restaurant,
a local place
in town. So, I'm like, oh, perfect. I
get to go and eat and get a free lunch,
and then, you know, just make a little
reel of me going there, and get to work
and make some money, and then also eat,
like, yeah.
Don't got to ask me twice.
So, that should be fun. That's also why
I'm
trying to make sure my hair looks
decent. I washed it when I got back from
the pool last night, and I just didn't
bother like putting any product in it or
anything. So, it was kind of a hot mess
when I woke up, but
I just re-wet
the bottom layer, so that can
just air dry however, and then
just tamed the front,
and
just going to hairspray a little bit. I
have a widow's peak, so sometimes
depending on how my hair naturally
parts,
it'll like
You see how it does that? There's like
separation and it just looks like weird
and stringy. I freaking hate that, so
when that happens, I just take some
hairspray.
And I just
hairspray it back. That usually does the
trick.
I'm just going to put a little bit of
oil
on the ends.
And then whatever is left on my hands,
I'm just going to tap over the top.
And I guess depending on how this ends
up looking after it's fully dry and I
get back
from my work, might end up being a good
opportunity for me to get my passport
picture. I don't know. We'll see what I
have time for and if I'm feeling
the way everything comes together, but
I'm going to go get dressed, put a
little bit of makeup on, and head out
the door. I need to leave in the next
like 10 to 15 minutes. Hopefully I can
do that quick enough. Um but I'm going
to wrap up this vlog here cuz it's just
going to be too much for me to get all
of my work done and the content I need
to get,
but then also like be vlogging at the
same time. So, that is going to be it
for this vlog. Make sure you guys are
following me over on Instagram. I have
two pages, my hair page styled by Sam
Vay and then my just like more personal
page Sam_Vay.
If you want to keep up with me a little
bit more and just see like some more fun
behind the scenes stuff. It's so much
easier for me to like just post on
Instagram stories when I'm out and about
doing fun things, but I hope you have an
amazing week and I will see you in my
next one.
Bye.
