WEEKLY VLOG | I DID IT! 🎓 Graduation + Salon Appointment, State Board Exam & Home Updates

way back [music] with the waves. You were else. [music] >> Okay, so I got my I got my mic on. So y'all just let me know if y'all like this type of audio. If not, sorry. Um, but I got 100% on my mic and it is, um, I don't know if I should talk like this or what, girl. Hello. But anyway, um, yeah, we just left. Let me sit down. Let me just let me just sit down. Feel like I'm exhausted. Well, I am exhausted and I'll tell y'all why. [snorts] But anyways, today is Wednesday, June 10th. It is 1, excuse me, in the evening. So today we had our banquet at the school and it supposed to last maybe about an hour, really not even that. Some people are talking a little bit longer than others. Um but yeah, basically it's where we get our actual um just everything for graduation basically. And when we walk the stage, we're just going to get the like diploma cover or degree cover or whatever instead of actually, you know, your degree or diploma in there. So yeah, anyways, that's where I just got back from. They gave us like some pasta and stuff, but it [snorts] weren't that good. So, I'll probably have to end up finding me something to eat. But, I wanted to show you guys what I got. And then I got a package and stuff delivered today that we're going to get into. But, obviously, I am in the sleep technology program. So, this is our little logo. And each of us got a pin and we're going to wear this at graduation. Well, at least I am. It's cute. Some of us are as well. And then I got this as well. Baptist Health College Little Ludok is where I'm graduating from and I am a first generation graduate. So a lot of us got this. And then the biggest thing that we got obviously the most important is Baptist Health College Little Rock Akira Jana Baker School of Sleep Technology. And then it says June 12th. Today is the 10th but we graduate on the 13th. So yeah, whatever. Anyway, got that got that secured. I'm going to go ahead and put this up in here. And then she said, "Don't forget to bring our cords and all of that." So I have honor row. That's what I wanted to tell y'all. And it was so embarrassing to get up there cuz it's like the first two like nuke med honors and then it's our class and we had one high honors. But majority of us, well, I know two of us, we do have honoral cuz we made all A's and B's. It's just that one of my classmates, she was in the surgical tech program. So, like her grades from that is reflecting as well over her with her overall GPA. That's just how Baptist does it for whatever reason, which is stupid. And y'all know I did go to nursing school. Um I was originally going to get my um BSN, RN, but found out real quick that nursing is not for me. it's not what I wanted to do. And then I had left a state though to come to a fasttrack program here at Baptist Health College. So that's how I got into the nursing program there. But then I withdrew from that um for different reasons both times because I got into it both times and then um yeah, now we're here. So since I have grades from nursing there because I completed my whole first year, I have those grades calculated into my sleep technology grade. I was not making A's and B's in nursing school, you know, like I had some B's, I had some C's. I don't even I don't think I had no A at Baptist. So, yeah. And plus, they grade so crazy. So, really, what is a C should have been a B, you know? So, that's just that whole spill. Um, but we went and got that today. And then I have a package from Walmart. I've been waiting on it for 3 days. Um, I'll show y'all later, but I may pop in a picture right here. I'm not sure. But this dresser that we originally bought for Jackson's nursery has been beat up to the ground. Like beat down to the ground. A drawer came off. The other drawers will not go in and out. We got it from Amazon. But y'all know usually everything from Amazon is fine. I did want to say I did not put this dresser together. My man put his dresser together. So I'm not sure if that was his doing or if that was Amazon's doing. But um yeah, this next dresser, I'm going to be putting it together. Mhm. As well as this one from Walmart is supposed to be like a really easy put together by yourself. The pieces in the dresser kind of just like snap together. So basically, they have the stuff already kind of put together for you and you're just snapping the pieces together. So Jack's asleep, he's been asleep since like 12:20, 12:15 is 1:16. Usually he gives me at least about 2 hours most times. Sometimes he sleeps for about 3. So, I am going to go ahead and open it and try to like start getting it together. Um, if it becomes a problem, then we're probably going to have to Well, my mom's here, so she'd be able to like either take him into another room or I'll have to probably take this into like scoot it in the guest room or something. I'm not sure. But, I do want to show y'all what it looks like. It was really big. FedEx, they literally pulled into our driveway to drop this off. Really, really, really huge. And it is heavy. But I put them on these dollies and we got it in Hi. If you want to say hey, Prince. But we got them on these dollies and I'm going to go ahead and unbox it and then when Jackson wake up, I'll be able to actually show y'all the dresser in person, but editing. Akira should have popped a video or picture up there for you. I literally sent that to my l man last week and I was like, "You're buying him a new dresser today [laughter] cuz I ain't got money. I ain't working yet, girl." But well, I have a job, but y'all know that's a patient care tech. So, after graduation and stuff like that, I'm going to keep PRN as a patient care tech just for at least the beginning six to seven months of me going into my actual career. It sounds really nice to actually say career and not like my job. Someone else commented that. Um, shout out to you. I forgot your name, but basically you were saying that I um like motivated you and stuff like that to go back to school. I haven't responded back to your comment yet, but I definitely see everything, but I want to I like to respond back to everything like all at once. I don't like to just respond to somebody and then leave it. So, Crystal um said, "Thank you, lady, for helping me with the push to switch my job. I just landed a career opportunity for my little one, and I she was a big inspiration." So is Jax. Maybe them kids gonna make you get it out of the mud. Okay. But she said, "You showed me I could do something different. So excited for my new future and to claim a career and not a job." And that's how I felt too. You know, I was telling people that like when I first started working as a tech as well. I don't want to just clock in, go to a job. I want to have a career. I want not to say nothing's wrong with that because I don't want people to twist my words, but it's just what I wanted for my life. I wanted to have a career like nursing, doctor, um what else? Occupational therapy. Like that's that's your career, you know? know, it's not like I'm about to go clock in at McDonald's, which some people careers, you know, they they be climbing up the ladder at McDonald's and stuff, but you know, it's not just a little quick money, little, you know, little quick money here and there. So, anyway, that's that what I was saying is I'mma keep my PRN [snorts] at Baptist as a patient care tech and technician. I am going to be when I pass my boards, God willing, um I will be a registered polynographic technologist. If you seen my last Instagram post, I explained everything, you know, basically what Google says it is. But yeah, and I'll just be doing that. And like I said, I'll keep my PCT job for a good probably like six, seven months just so I can, you know, make sure, you know, this what I want to do. This job is where I want to be at. Do whatever, you know, whenever I start working as my, you know, new career. But anyways, I'm about to go ahead and unbox this. I didn't talked enough. It's already been about 10 minutes. So, this is what I was talking about when I was telling y'all that it basically kind of already comes put together. So, as you can see on a regular dresser, usually you would have to add these in for the drawers. Like my vanity that I just put together in my last vlog, um I had to put every last one of them on. So, it is some that I have to put on the actual like drawers to go in, but these are already put on here. So, that definitely save some time. I wanted to show you guys again how easy they made this. So, literally these little Hold up. Let's focus, baby. Don't do that to me. All right. So, literally these you'll just turn down and it is four of them. Make sure the brown is all the way in there. Turn that down. Turn this one downward. And turn this one downward. And then all you're going to do is just tighten them. Now, we're going to start working on the dresser drawers. And those are basically almost all the way put together as well. So it say lay down an H and the two holes is pointed this way at the top of the line. And then I need to find I there's two other boxes over here that stuff came in. All right. So I this is up top and this is pointed this way. I put this on the ground because um I don't trust myself on top of that and I got to press down really really hard. going to press. Okay. I'm not going to go all the way in on that side. Get it. Make sure everything lining up. Mhm. Then we're going to go to this side. I'm about to do this five more times. Yay me. Okay, so I'm done. And I had to change my clothes because girl, I was really, really hot. But it took maybe not even an hour to put this together. This was by far the easiest thing that I've ever put together in my life. Um, I'm going to show you guys how his dresser right now looks in his room in person. Feel like my mic is not doing it for me. Anyways, this is how his dresser looks. Beat down and raggedy. So, that whole drawer came completely off. And as you can see, I don't know things with hopefully this dresser will be better, but things like this like how it's I don't know. It's just not put in there right. the bottom falling apart. This is what happens when you try to open it. It sounds like that. This one sounds like that. This one is basically falling out. Like there. It's just horrible. So, we're just going to go ahead and switch this out. Um I'm just going to take everything out the drawers and then just scoop this one out. This one is a lot. This one isn't as heavy as the one that I just got from Walmart. So, we're going to take everything from the top. This one is well I did stick it down but it's not sticking. But I have this one um what is it? Screwed in into Y'all can't even see what I'm talking about. I have this one screwed into the dresser so that it can't like fall and fly. So I'm going to unscrew that and everything. But yeah, we're just going to take everything out this dresser and then I'm going to scoot that one in here and clean this up because I know my man has seen this powder splattered down there for the past 3 days and still ain't cleaned it up. I don't know why men do that. But anyway, that's another topic for another day because me and my bestie was just talking about these men. The fact that I literally had to take this. I don't know if y'all can see it, but the bottom was falling out. So, I literally had to take this. It's absolutely insane. I'm going to go ahead and clean up all of this off camera because obviously he be dropping stuff down here and it's dust and all of that. And then I'm just going to vacuum his floor and everything as well to make a Walmart like an Amazon storefront Walmart storefront like a creator profile because that's a really good vacuum. It was like $60 or something that I got on sale and I discount, but it has like three or four different basically modes that you can use and how high or low you need the like I guess vacuum whatever to like get down to the ground. So, since his rug is kind of fluffy. I have it on a number three, but it has a number four as well. And yeah, it's just a really good vacuum. It literally sucks up everything. literally that whole pack fit up in here. The other drawer would have been like this much. All right, so I wanted to show you guys the dresser. So, basically, obviously, this one is much bigger. Like I've been saying, I have a ton more space to add in some more clothes. Y'all know me, I color code my clothes. I did my men's I rearranged the closet on his side in Jackson clothes. I like to have everything color coded to kind of see, you know, what you have. So, reds, blues, anything with green in it, whites and blacks. This is oranges, yellows, that type of thing. And then this one is kind of just like weird prints and tropical and things like that. So, this one is basically a free drawer, but I'm just going to go ahead and stick these are 18 months onesies. We've had this since the baby shower. I'm just going to stick this right there. And then these are socks that are still a little bit too big for him. Um I put some up top and then this is a hat that he can still I believe fit cuz it's really really stretchy. So he'll be able to probably fit that stuff. And then I'm just going to put these up front because this can basically be an overflow for some other stuff once we start getting him a lot more clothes and stuff. But so we just got some right barbecue. Literally fire. Y'all know I vlogged us going there probably about four months ago at this point. This is my mom's plate. Ribs, sausage, mac and cheese, greens, and the barbecue sauce. I cooked last night, so I didn't get any mac. I'm eating leftover mac. Got my barbecue. And then I got ribs, beans, mashed potatoes. Always fine. And then I got the bacon ends or bacon tips. Absolutely amazing. >> I am at the bank. This is going to be the start of a I think I want to try to start doing weekly vlogs again. We'll see. But I'm at the bank right now at Chase getting cash out for my hair appointment. My hair appointment is at 9:30 and say I will get there at 9:21. I have to go downtown because my stylist move locations and I took out 220. Okay. And I hate when somebody is behind me. That definitely annoys my soul. Had my hair washed by like a professional. I don't know how long. Maybe two years. >> Did you get it washed the last time? know cuz I did it myself. But I'm like, girl, I need it real bad. [music] >> What do I want to eat? >> You should go to that place I told you about. Let me know if you want pasta or a taco. >> Girl, I always love pasta. >> But it's >> cuz I was just thinking about sauce. >> No, I'm telling you, girl, sauce ain't got nothing on it. I'm telling you. >> Well, we may eat there when Nikki and Jon get here. They'll be here at 4 >> and they got happy hour. >> Oh, yeah. That'd be great. [laughter] I don't know what you be doing. No, I can't. >> What you do? Tell me the steps. What you do? >> Okay. [laughter] I shampoo, condition, blow dry. >> What? How do you blow dry it? Do you section it off? >> Yes. I section in four sections and I make sure I get from the root to the end. Get it as straight as possible. >> Now, when I go in each section, I put a little oil on it. >> What kind? >> The bio seal. >> Okay. >> A little bit. >> I just got the wild. The wow. >> Yeah. Yeah, but I don't really know how to use that because the the back of it say after you wash your hair I think or something like that. But I see women use it different like when your hair is dry. >> Some people do use it dry >> so I don't really know how to use that but I do have it. Shyra swears by it cuz obviously Shyra graduated cosmetology school and stuff so she gets my hair bone straight like you and I can't do it. So yeah, >> I'll use it. But what's your [laughter] what's your flat iron look like? >> I got the babilis baby bliss whatever however you say it. I have that one. The plates are silver. >> Yes. Okay. It's Yeah, the plates are silver, but the outside is blue and it's the skinny one. >> And maybe cuz the hot, >> not the wide one, >> cuz the hot comb really set. >> Yeah. So, I can do with the hot comb, but I don't know. I do use a hot comb, but I do need a new one. It may be a little old now. I had it since college. >> Well, [ __ ] mine's old, too. I had it since 2022. >> I don't know. I don't know. I just can't do it. >> That's crazy. >> I'll try again. >> Maybe you need to take thinner sections cuz your hair is not thin. Your hair is thick as hell. >> But here I be feeling like it's thin. >> Nah, it's not. >> Yeah, I guess that's true. [laughter] Cuz when I cuz each section I I also flat iron in sections too. So I'll go through but I be Yeah, I probably be taking too much hair. >> Mhm. I know you do. >> But I be getting them roots though cuz I be feeling it on my scalp. >> Well, yeah. You need to take thinner sections of your hair and just straighten. >> And also cuz the flat iron like Where is yours? Do you have the wide one, >> girl? This is no. Okay. >> But I do have >> mine is thin like that. >> Okay. But the other one I know the Babelis is a wide one too. Like a wide plate. So I'm like, hm, maybe should I do a wide plate? >> Yeah. See, though, [laughter] >> you still got it. >> Because I'm like, maybe one day it might rev be revived. I don't know. You don't want to give it up. >> No, I don't. But it it's got a shortage in it. [laughter] So, I just don't use it. >> Oh my god. >> And I did not want to buy another one cuz that damn thing is expensive. >> That is hilarious. >> I'm tired of that. >> I know. I'm like, first off, I am so shy to vlog in my city. And when I go out the state or anywhere, I whoop the camera out. I don't care. I don't know. And I'm like, I live here. This is my town. Like, I know what's going on, you know? But like Texas, anywhere, girl. I pop that camera out. I don't give who look who. I don't care. >> No. >> But I be nervous here. I know. I don't know why. >> And I've been doing this [ __ ] for like what, eight years? >> That's what I'm saying. You definitely should not be shy. >> But if I'm not in Arkansas, I don't care where to whip it out at. But if I'm here, >> I think it's a norm everywhere else. It's really like >> people like what are you doing? What's going on? [laughter] >> And yeah, bigger cities of course people know what's going on cuz they doing it too. >> Yeah, here it ain't much. So yeah, I be nervous. I don't know. >> Oh, I do like the black. Shake your hair. >> Her contact. [laughter] >> I don't know cuz I need you. >> Girl, please. [laughter] I need you. >> I remember I think I got you. I don't know cuz I came to you in 2021. >> I don't know if I found you or I think cuz Zanup used to come to you and she was like, "I don't know if I want to give y'all who I go to or whatever cuz I got like three more events that I need to go to." And then when she finally like tagged you, I'm like, "Yeah, let me try her out." And I'm like, "Oh, yeah." >> Now, she said, >> "Yes, she had posted it. It was like on her story or something like years ago." And she was like, "I'll tell y'all who be in my hair, you know, after my next, you know, two or three events. cuz I don't want her booked up. And I'm like, I feel that. That's hilarious. I know she like, get your coin. But no, you looked up where I can't get in. [music] >> I'm about cut up and you are done and ready for graduation. Honey, [laughter] let me stop the damn. >> I don't know why they beige. [music] >> Hey y'all. So, I tried to introduce this vlog earlier this morning and it just did not work out. So, I have this new case on my DJI to protect it and everything, but I didn't realize that if I try to put this up on my phone, well, not my phone stand, on my camera stand inside the car, the one specifically for DJI DJI. [laughter] Um, it doesn't fit because of this case that I have on here. So, I'm I'm going to have to figure out another car situation. I can't wait to get a new car, but we probably won't be doing that until next year now at this point cuz we got other stuff going on. But yeah, um I was trying to vlog and stuff in the car. I had to figure that out. So, I have another mount that I use for my Sony, but since the DJI is literally a long type of camera, it's probably about this long, actually. About the width. Yeah. So, about this long. So, it hits the top of my glass and I cannot put it up. Anyway, that's why I didn't record, but I recorded in the salon. So, I haven't recorded getting my hair done in a minute. And I do like to go see the girly when I watch YouTube videos and stuff. I like to see the girls at the hair salon and stuff. It's so cute and so aesthetic. So, I'm And I was talking about I think I recorded it how I'm so shy and scared to record. I talked about how I'm so shy and nervous and scared to record literally here in my own city, which is crazy. But when I go out on vacation, whether it's in the country, out the country, no matter where I'm at, Texas, Cali, wherever, even when I was in Jamaica, Mexico, I had this camera out. And I don't know what it is um about it. And she was just like, "It's because obviously we're in Arkansas. So, we do got Arkansas content creators and stuff here, but you don't really see many people doing this in Arkansas, you know. So if I was in, you know, the bigger, of course, Cali, New York, even Texas, Florida, Georgia, anywhere like that, somebody pulling out their phone or their camera to vlog and stuff, practically normal, you know, it's normal here, but it it's just whatever. So, we had a really good chat. I love getting my hair done and going to um chitchat with her. But um yeah, I'm home. My head hurts. I just took a ibuprofen. my head. I get a headache and my head starts hurting every single time I get my hair done. Mostly because one, I wake up really early. I like to get early appointments so I can get out of there by noon, which I did. Um, I got my hair washed today because I usually come with my hair already washed and blow-dried, which she included hair wash in the services, which is great. But, you know, sometimes I just hate sitting in the chair, so I'll be ready to get out of there. So, today though, I needed my hair literally washed and all the good stuff. And I haven't had my hair washed by a professional stylist in I don't know how long. So, I definitely wanted to get that today. And um yeah, my cousin Dina literally came in right after me to get her hair done. My best friend Nikki is almost here. She'll It's 2:48. They'll be here around 4ish:00. Um I'm pretty sure she's probably going to stay maybe one day with her dad and one day with us. So, I don't know, maybe tonight with us since I got graduation tomorrow and then she'll probably stay with her dad Saturday and then like I can still see her, you know, of course. Um, tomorrow I'm gonna see her all day for graduation and stuff and then I'm gonna leave on Sunday. So, it is a short trip, but glad I get to see her. I miss her all the time. Move back [laughter] if you watch this. But yeah, then my bestie girl and her husband is coming as well. So, they're driving this time. They didn't fly, but their drive is really good, she said. And they're um getting here fairly quickly. Like flat foot rolling. Her husband laugh at that every time I say that. [laughter] [gasps] But yeah, that's what we doing. My man is out right now. He got his location off cuz he out buying me some stuff. So, Lord knows what that's going to be. Um, I feel like this video I'm recording a week. So, I'm trying to do the whole weekly vlog thing. I'm trying to get back into some type of system, something that you guys can expect. Um, will it be every other week? Not sure. I'm going to try to make it a weekly thing to post a weekly vlog on every Sunday. Um, if not, then it'll be up on a Monday if I can't finish, you know, editing and stuff. But um yeah, he's out getting me some stuff for obviously graduation and all that tomorrow. So, this vlog probably won't be up because today is I don't know if I told y'all what today is. Today is Friday, June 12th. And obviously, I'm going to try to record a week's worth of stuff. So, I'm going to be done with this video probably like next Friday. Um so, yeah, I'll probably have this video up on Father's Day possibly. So, that'll be great. Um because I want to tell you guys what I just bought him for Father's Day. So, he's been hopefully he not listening on that camera, but he's been talking about this right here. Y'all see that? Y'all see that? Yeah. He been talking about that right there. Uhhuh. And I just bought them. Um I didn't know they give healthcare workers, first responders, teachers, whoopy whoop, um a discount. I got $24 off. That's amazing. So, he's been talking about those for probably at least 3 to 4 months. Um, nothing specifically, just he wasn't talking about it so I could like buy it for him for Father's Day. It's just he's been talking about it because he wants them. And I've been trying to tell him to slow down on his spending because he been buying so much stuff. And I was like, "You don't need them. You don't need them. You don't need them." But I was kind of saying that because, you know, I want to get it for him. So, I got that. That'll be here next Thursday, though. And then I just bought him this from Amazon. I'm just going to show you. I'm not going to say it just because I don't want it to be recorded on the camera just in case, you know, and then he hear it or whatever. Dang, I took that out my cart. I was trying to. Um, so yeah, this is what I got. I guess I could have just put a picture in here. So, I got these. Y'all see? Turn my brightness down a little bit. Yeah, there we go. That's what I got. These were only [snorts] $65. And I like it because it you can remove the strap at the back, but it also has a closed toe. And then this one right here, it has no strap, but and it doesn't have a closed toe. Which one will be an inside or an outside, you know, shoe or slipper? Because basically this will replace his house shoe. I'll probably try to So Nikki said that we'll probably sneak off or just go to TJ Maxx when they get here, like later today or whatever. And I'll probably try to see if I can find some house shoes in there for him because he do need another pair of house shoes. He's been wearing his slides in the house as his house shoes. So, one of those can be house shoes or whatever, but I'll probably still buy like regular house shoes in case he really do want to like wear those out. Um, and then a few days ago, he was like, I want some skims underwear or some um Savage XFenty. I said, what do you know about that? [laughter] What do you know about that? Um, it's funny that he say that because I've been trying to get him a Savage Xfenty for a long while now, but every time I think about it, I always thinking about it too late and it'll always come after the time I need it. So, I'll probably get on their website today. Even I'll get on both and I'll see who has the better deal and then I'll buy from there because honestly, both are nice. It doesn't really matter. Um, but yeah, that the two things from Amazon, the first thing that I showed y'all, um, the underwear, and then I'll probably do like a mini type of little like just gift basket of his favorite stuff. So, I'm going to put like some beef jerky in there. I have, um, some like floss pics. They're all black floss pigs and just just random stuff that he used and would like um to put in there. And I think that's pretty much it. will be getting. I do need a feel. So, when he get here, I'll probably go to the nail shop and get a feel. I'm going to get a white French tip, but I'm still going to keep the polka dot on here. I don't want all of them to be polka dot. Um, I'll probably literally just get the same exact nail with polka dots on it. Maybe the nail and thumb. I think that'll be cute with polka dots and the rest is just a regular white French tip. Haven't had a regular white in a while because I've been getting designs. Um, my toes are still good. Toes are always really good. Um, one of my toes it did chip off at the top. So, I'll probably have them fix literally just one toe. Um, and hopefully they don't charge too much for that. It shouldn't be charged anything. And that'll be that. And I got to wash my dress that I'm going to potentially wear. Well, I'm probably going to wear tomorrow because I don't have nothing else to wear. Um, yeah, I was going to try to go to the mall and try to find something, but at this point, I really don't even care. I'm just ready to get graduation over with. So, I have honor. So, they have honoral and high honors. since I was in nursing school there at Baptist and I withdrew and I had C's which some of them should have been a B which y'all know that nursing grading scale is insane. So I have C's on basically my report card on my transcript and all of those together puts me like right under where honors is at and honors is a 3.5. So without that nursing on there, I have honor row. But [laughter] because they add this, it's just the way Baptist does it. The way they add everything that you've taken since you've been at that college, they add all of your grades, you know, together and then that's just what you have. So I pass with all A's and B's. I actually have honor, but since they added nursing on there, girl, yeah, I don't get a cord for it. But yeah, that's all I'm going to be wearing tomorrow. And I'll probably I'll probably talk to you later today depending on if they can go to the store and stuff like that cuz obviously we'll keep Jack's here unless you just want to take them. But by that time it probably be around his nap time cuz they ain't going to arrive until like 4:00. But yeah, um I do need to straighten up a little bit more, but I'm tired. I just took ibuprofen. So while Jackson is taking a nap, I'm just going to lay down and just kind of chill and relax and look up these this underwear for him and just go ahead and order that. I want to have everything ordered so everything is here so that I can just, you know, put it together and then just hide it in the closet or something sometime next week. Um, probably over the weekend. So, yeah, that's all. I'll talk to y'all later today or tomorrow for graduation. Keep saying I'm done talking. I keep talking. But the bottom of my hair is virgin hair. You may or may not can tell that. So, all of this down is virgin and then the top is raw hair because I had a closure sew in. So, I didn't need as much hair with the 5x5 closure sew in. So, I ran out of hair. Luckily, I had a bundle left of that virgin hair and I took it I mean raw hair. I had a bundle left and then she um just put it on the top. So, obviously raw hair looks exactly like your hair and then virgin hair is a little bit more silkier and shinier and flowy and stuff. So, it's just whatever your preference is. But now that I have raw hair up here and not all the silky hair, I'm going to have to really maintain this and act like it's my real hair up top because the virgin hair, you can do whatever you want to do. It's virgin hair, okay? But that raw hair, you going to need to keep that in tiptop shape. So, I'm going to recurl my hair. I like this side the way it's kind of curled backwards that way. But this one, I feel like the curls are kind of falling like forward, and I don't like forward- facing curls. Um, so I'm just going to curl my hair like backwards. And then I'm going to put that long flexi rod in my hair um overnight. And she was like, "Sleep with a claw clip." Baby, I can't sleep with a claw clip. She says she hate flexi rods. I can do flexi rods. They're soft. They don't bother me. And I literally put them as tight as I can to my scalp or in this case as my bundles, my WS, and I don't feel them. That long heatless curl flexi rod is just so big and bulky that irritates me at night. I can't I can't do that one. Um but yeah, that's all. I've been talking for 13 minutes, girl. Yeah, let's wrap it up. Today is my graduation day. Today is June 13th. It is 7:47 in the morning and I'm waiting for my makeup appointments at 8:00. I got that little heatless curler rod thing in my hair, but I know I'm already going to have to like really really touch up my hair when I get home. So, at first my appointment was supposed to be at 8:00 and it still 8:30 and now it's back at 8:00. Um, glad it's 8:00 now because 8:30 Oh, she it only takes her 30 minutes. She's really quick. Um, but I'll be getting done by like 9:00 and then I'll have to go home, try to, you know, get dressed and do my hair and stuff like that and then be at the Barton Coliseum at literally 9:30. So, my man is going to drop me off and then he's going to come back. So, we got to be there by 9:30. So, I'm not trying to get there like right at 9:30. So, as soon as I get back home and get dressed and everything, we'll probably just go ahead and head that way so we can still have time to come back because after that, once they basically get dressed, then he's going to have to they're going to have to head right back out. Um, so yeah, it's Jason, Nikki at my house. Obviously, Jackson and my man, my sister and my mom is going to come together, and then my cousin Dina, cousin Shyra, and then my cousin Bri is basically going to drop together as well. Um, that's all that I know that is coming. Um, and that's really all that's not really who I invited. Like, I posted it publicly, so like if somebody wants to come, they could come. But, um, yeah, that's really all that I, you know, really just talked to on a regular that's coming. my other friend. Oh, De'arra and Josh as well. They're supposed to be coming with Jojo um and then coming to eat with us. Um and then who else? Jana. She is in Texas. She's on her way back from Texas today. So, she may or may not be there for graduation or she'll probably try to come to the I don't know, girl. But that's that. Um my makeup, I always get just Princess Glam with her. It's $90. I already paid I think $35 deposit. I paid this back in April because I was supposed to get my makeup done in April, but I think I already told y'all about that. And so, we just rescheduled for today. Um, 8 a.m. appointments have an extra $40 fee, so I already paid that last night with Apple Pay. So, that's basically your tip there, but I just got $60 out the bank. These are crispy 20s, too. I went to Bank of America. It's not my bank, but I went to Bank of America to get it out. Charged me $4, which is fine. Whatever. Um, but yeah. So, all I have left to pay is $55. So, I got 60. And then, like I said, I just paid an extra $40 for having an 8 a.m. appointment. Um, her rules is she will let you in up to 5 minutes before your time. If you are 1 minute late, it is a $20 extra fee. So, I always try to make sure I'm on time for her. And after 5 minutes, your appointment's cancelled. So, I'm going to go ahead and put this cash in my wallet. I'mma do it facing upward like this so I can just grab it because I do have some other cash in there and I do not want to get that mixed up. Um I did not have time to decorate my cap. Um I was going to buy some stuff yesterday but then my man wanted to go out and get some stuff, you know, for me, whatever for graduation and stuff. And I also did not have time to go get a film [snorts] because we were at Nikki's dad's for about an hour and a half, maybe two hours, and then we all went out to eat at Davis Burgers last night. I probably popp Tinka [crying] eating ice cream for the first time. At first he was kind of like iffy because he don't really like cold stuff. So like he had some ice water straight out of the um you know fountain or whatever. Not fountain, but you know where you get the drinks from? Yeah, I guess fountain. >> And it was just way too cold for him. But also they had ice [laughter] in it too. But he just don't like really really cold stuff. Um so then the ice cream it kind of threw him off a bit but then he was you know asking for more saying more more. So yeah he liked it. I'll pop it in. And um yeah now we're here and I don't know if I'm I don't know. I really don't want I really don't care the vlog the vlog up in there today. I trying to get in and get out and I'm so tired. We went to bed well I went to bed at midnight. I think everybody else went about 30 to 45 minutes after. So yeah. Excuse me y'all. Y'all and everything face. I'm tired. I'm tired. Y'all [snorts] can probably tell my face. I did my skincare this morning. Didn't record because obviously trying to get out the house. I'll record for y'all a different day, but I literally had a pimple pop up yesterday. I'm like, perfect. Literally right before something important. And I never get breakouts really except for like hormonal acne when my cycle's about to come. So, my cycle is going to come I think next weekend. So, I guess maybe it's already just starting a week prior. So, whatever. 7:51. Um, it's 7:55. I'm going to just go ahead and go walk around. So, she's Good morning again, y'all. So, my makeup is done. Some on my ear. So, I have my cap on. It got like a headband on it. And then I did a bobby pin on each side because obviously the cap is supposed to come down to like right here, but yeah, we're not going for that look. We need to be real cute and I want to be able to see my part and stuff. So, yeah, I got these little pins in just so I can keep just so I can keep my little bump in the front. But yeah, the um heatless curls did pretty okay. Um hopefully my hair stay just until graduation and I'm going to put my gown and everything else on like when we get there because I didn't want to wrinkle it up in the car and then my classmates said they'll probably just put it on when they get there as well. So it is what 9:19. They say we're going to get there at 9:29. Supposed to be there by 9:30. So [snorts] I guess we'll see. Hopefully I see everybody else walking in so we know where to go. But yeah, Bae is taking me dropping me off and he got to come back and then him, Nikki, J sign, and then Jax, like I said, they're going to go and then my mom and my sister and then, you know, I already told y'all that want to get my makeup done. So, yeah, he's going to take my camera back home. I'm pretty sure you'd be able to probably bring this in, right? >> I mean, it's a camera. It's a graduation. As long as they can see everything, you know. >> If not, you >> want your camera in a plastic bag, >> okay? Cuz y'all y'all ain't going to do right. So when you record or have somebody record long form, if not, it's fine. I can still put it in here if it's not long form. So don't stress that too much, but definitely get me going across and stuff like that and like keep it recording. >> Yes, ma'am. >> All right. Thank you. All right. I'll talk to y'all after graduation. I'll just put in clips from what all everybody else got because Yeah. I don't trust them with my camera.

[laughter] >> We got to get into the car. Jojo. >> Oh, I just love you, Jojo. >> Hey y'all. Today is the day after graduation. It is Sunday, June 14th. It is 1:21 in the evening. So, I kind of straightened up a little bit. I straightened up the living room and I'm kind of just picking up trash. So, Nikki and Jason stay with us the whole weekend. And then some of my family came over here yesterday as well to kind of touch up makeup, touch up hair, different things like that. It was busy busy busy. Everybody getting dressed, everybody. It's It was just a lot going on and it was like a lot of stuff in here. So, I cleaned up just a little bit. Jackson is sleep, but I do want to kind of utilize this time to be able to study as well for my board exam. Um, let's say. So, yeah. Yeah, but I did want to show you guys what I got for graduation and just a little recap. So, yesterday was amazing. Um, I do have a degree in general studies. I have an associates degree um in general studies. This is just a catchup for the new people because I've been getting some people asking. So, I have a degree from Arkansas State University, associates degree. And I was originally going for my BSN at Arkansas State University. I did not get into the nursing program there because it is very competitive and I'm pretty sure all the girls had like dang their 4.0's so I didn't get in there. Then I transferred and went to Baptist Health College where I just graduated from but from a different program. Um I was doing the LPN program there. I withdrew after my first semester there. Well LPN is only a year. So LPN is from like July to December and then from January to what June kind of like the program that I did now. And I was a I withdrew after I got done with like my sophomore year I guess you could say because anyway yeah and I withdrew for personal reasons like for my mom and stuff. It was just a lot going on with family and life and I withdrew because it was just a lot going on. Then I went back in 2020 for LPN at Baptist Health College of Little Rock and I didn't realize that everything was going to be completely online because of COVID and I'm not a type of person that can learn with strictly online um anything. I used to have online classes in college and I hated them. Um, didn't learn anything. Didn't pay attention. It was mostly like histories and different things like that, different classes like that. So, I really didn't learn anything. Um, but besides that, I withdrew after the first month because it was just recorded lectures in one instructor. Oh my gosh, I could not stand her voice and I just could not understand anything from her and retain any information. So, I'm like, "Yeah, I'm not about to sit here and waste my money. this is not going to work out. Then when I was withdrawing, I got a job at Baptist Health Hospital and I started working as a patient care tech there. That gave me a little bit more insight into being a nurse and basically what all in what it all entails because when I was in nursing school, we went to clinicals, you know, we were there. We had to be there by like what 5:30, 6 o'clock in the morning. We left at like 2 3:00 in the evening. We didn't see much of what was going on. And plus, we only basically focused on one patient. baby, they got six patients and it it's just a lot. Nurses, it's a lot that that they go through. And I knew that's not something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. And I know before I said, it's a ton of other things you can do with nursing, different things like that. It's just not for me. Um, I didn't want to do any cosmetic things. I thought I wanted to be a clinical nurse, but then I got the taste of working 2 to 3 12 hour shifts a week and literally be done. So, I'm like, yeah, clinic life isn't for me anymore because I don't want to work on Monday to Friday. Okay, so that's why nursing is just not for me. and mentally it is way too much and I've been staying up. Anyway, that's that. I graduated yesterday from Baptist Health College and I graduated with the from the school of sleep technology. This is what my diploma says. And if I want my degree in sleep technology, I will have to go to Palaski Tech and then take a few more courses, like two or three courses, something like that. and then I'll be able to have my actual degree in sleep. But yeah, we we probably not doing that. But anyways, this is she. I got her. And then I'm going to go ahead and show you some of my gifts. Yesterday was amazing. Um graduation was fun. I end up walking the wrong way back to my seat. It was so funny. But anyways, everybody came, showed up, showed out. It was great. Dinner was great. Um now the food, I wouldn't say it's great. It's good if you just, you know, need something if you're downtown and need something to eat. I've had better. The macaroni was not all that at all. Um, my fillet was good. Um, my potatoes was good. Everybody else said their food was pretty good as well, except for my sister. She got like the pasta, but I had already heard about the pasta anyway. But yeah, they give really, really big pieces of shrimp. But anyway, these flowers are from my bull, my man. My man, my man, my man. And he gave me some flowers. Always go above and beyond with the flowers, honey. Probably spend another $100 or something on that. Um, and then I got for my honey bun some Hocas. So, if you watched that vlog, you know what I'm talking about. Either the last vlog or the vlog before last. I think the last vlog when I was talking about the Hocas. Um, I forgot the brand that I bought. I think I said it in the video maybe, but a few of y'all were telling me to get the Bondi or Bondi, not sure how you pronounce it. Um, but that's what he ended up getting me. He went to the store up the street and bought me some. So, these are all pink. They did bring out some blue ones, but he was like, "Uh, no." Cuz that's going to, you know, clash with her scrubs because I'm already going to be wearing blue scrubs. But I did get the Bondi or Bondi, however you say. I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong in all pink. Super cute. But I think the blue would look really nice since my girls would be blue. Already tried them on. Feels like I'm walking on a cloud. So that last style that I had, if I can find it, I'll like pop up the name or something right here. But oh my gosh, that was the worst shoe I've ever worn in my entire life. It felt like I was walking on bricks and the bricks was just compressing my feet together. Absolutely horrible. These, just touching them, they already feel soft and squishy. And like I said, I already tried them on and started walking around. So, I do really like them. So, I'm glad that he bought me them. That was like literally my only request when people was asking me for what I wanted for um a graduation gift. And then he got me [clears throat] a little gift basket. I already took my Gushers out. I had Gushers in here, my checks mix. We love to do a cute little gift basket of favorite things. Some goldfish. He got me a cute candle. And then this one I've never had from Tree Hut. And I need to see if he still got this receipt because baby, I need this for my Fed rewards points. He gave me the golden vanilla. And I think it'll probably leave me with a pretty cute glow after using this. So, I'm super excited about that. He got me two blooms. We love blooms. And then he got me these that we got for Donna as well. I'm super glad because when I bought them from Donna, I was like, "Oh my gosh, I want that, too." It came in a two pack. I already used one. That's why it's mine in there. And he paid for um he paid for everybody at dinner. So it was I think 10 of us. And obviously with a big dinner party like that, they'll usually bring out one check. And so he literally just paid for the whole table. Love that. And then he booked me a massage at the best massage place here in Arkansas. It's in Hot Springs. So, I don't really know what we're going to be doing next week, but next week we are going to go to Hot Springs so I can get my massage. Um, he'll probably go have fun in the casino until I'm done. It'll take about an hour or so, I think, is what he booked. And then, yeah, I don't know what else we're doing because I'm like, well, you know, are we going to stay down there or we come back? He was like, "Don't worry about all that. Don't worry about all that." So, he got something else up his sleeve for next week. So, that's part of my graduation gift as well. And I got a cake. I posted it on my socials. Um, but I'll pop it in here as well. And then from my bestie girl, I need to throw this trash out. I got a cute card and it was signed by her, her husband, her dad, which I call my pops. Um, her little brother, and then her stepmom wasn't able to sign because she was at work, I think. I got some face masks. I got that card. I got this cute little Cheers like wine glass. And then she gave me my favorite, of course, Reese's. And then I got some Sour Patch Kids. And I got oh cute shirt. So she always calls me the rim queen now. So it says the rim queen and then what my credentials will be when I take my sick board RPSGT. And she gave me this cute pen as well that was customized. And of course it says the rim queen. Oh, I showed y'all. Oh, I showed y'all all this yesterday. Okay, y'all already saw it to show you guys. So they gave my boyfriend some stuff as well for his um birthday. A late birthday gift. His birthday was in February, but since they were down here, they were able to give it to him in person. Um, but it says JC and then it has a scripture right there. They asked me what his favorite scripture was, but I don't really know if he ever told me, so I'm not sure. But he said he's not going to use these. He's going to use these other ones that doesn't have his name on them because he don't want to mess them up. But he plays the keys and then he's about to start back playing his guitar. His dad just brung that. So, it's in our closet. And then he used to well he he played the drums as well, but like that's not what he played mostly. But yeah, he's excited to get back into that. And then they got him a bunch of snacks and things like that. So this right here is what I was showing y'all yesterday for Father's Day. I'm going to go ahead and take them out the box just to inspect them and stuff because, you know, I don't want to take them out the box [snorts] the day before Father's Day and then let's say it's damaged or something like that. I'm just going to hide it in my closet or in our closet until it's time. Okay, so this is the first one. The box doesn't look too bad, so I think I'm going to present it in its box. Um, I don't know. I think I was thinking of putting like maybe one shoe. I was thinking about maybe putting one shoe on top and then I don't know if I want to do that or just have him surprised. I may just keep him surprised and then when he take a picture, he'll just take a picture with the shoe out. But like I said, um, he needs some more like house shoes, just everyday like slides and things like that. So, I got this in a size I don't know, it say 13 and 14. I thought I picked 14 because they was like they ran small. So, I mean, if they do, I'll just return them and then get a bigger size for him. But, I thought the color was really cute. So, this one can either be his new house shoe or the other one that just came in as well. I'll show y'all that one. And like I said, I'm going to hide this cuz it's about to be his foot big, girl. So, I'm going to have to hide that box. And this box looks smaller. Oops. Okay, so this one says 14 and then under it says a 15. So I guess this one came in a 13 and this one came in a 14. So this might have been the one where they said it ran small and then I went back and switched it from a 13 to a 14. Um, so yeah, this is how it looks because maybe because it's a closed toe, they said it ran small and it wasn't too wide, but it kind of looked like glittery on the inside. I don't know if it's picking up on camera, but this strap is removable. So, if he didn't want this strap back here, he can remove that and then just kind of have a closed toe shoe. So, I don't know. I feel like he may wear these for inside since it's kind of giving more of like a house shoe. Um, and then of course he can decide if he want that. But anyway, that's what I got him. And then his um Raybans isn't supposed to be here. It said until next Thursday. Well, I just get a notification from UPS and it said it was going to be here tomorrow. Girl, I did pay extra $15 for rapid shipping, but like I said, that was supposed to be for next week and it's already going to be here tomorrow. So, I'm super glad about that. Um, I still have not bought the underwear yet. So, I'm going to look online today. Hopefully, that doesn't take too long. And then I think with ordering stuff, I should be done because I should be able to find um if I still decide to get a cologne, I should be able to find a cologne like in store or to Sephora somewhere. Um, and then his other little goodies. So, he requested he did say he wanted some new white like tank top things from Target. It's a really good brand. Um, so I'll probably go get those and just pick up some more of his favorite things. Not really snacks since they just bought him a ton of snacks. So, like I said, I got the dental floss. Just different things that he used. Maybe like some soaps, just different things like that. Um, yeah. That's all. That's my haul. I'm going to put all these boxes up so he can break them down, put them in the recycle bin. I'm going to finish cleaning up the kitchen a little bit and the dining room table, but I'm not going to do like a deep clean. I just need to just surface clean basically. And then I'm going to hopefully hope Jack stays sleep so I can um study for a little bit until he wakes up and then obviously I'm just busy. So, I'll talk to you later. >> Okay. Today is Tuesday, June 16th. It is now 3:16 in the evening. Why do I look What's going on? Is [snorts] it that lighting? Why does the lighting look crazy? But it's 3:17 and today, this morning, well, first off, I've tried to go to bed at like 11, well, yeah, 10:30, 11:00 last night and I've kind of been up ever since. So, I went to bed, woke up at like 2:00, used the bathroom. My nerves and everything has just been really, really bad because today was my board exam. If you follow me on my other socials besides YouTube, minus Tik Tok. I haven't posted there [crying] yet. But then you already know that I've passed my state. [cheering] So, we had to be there by 7:30 for check-in and then we take the test at 8. We kind of took it a little bit before 8 simply because we all got there pretty early for check-in and things like that. Um, so yeah, it was 175 questions. It isn't like the INLEX to where I believe the INLEX shuts you off once you answered, you know, so many or enough questions. Um, so yeah, we got to take all 175 questions. Only 150 count towards your basically grade. The other 25 is basically for them to be able to, you know, see what they need to do for the next test basically. But yes, your girl passed. I have my paper and everything like that. I posted a little bit of it. Well, a little picture inside one of my pictures on Instagram and things like that. Hey, stop. Jackson is moving my setup right now. Um, but yeah, I got my registration ID. I am a registered polyomnographic technologist. Talk to me nice. Um, my credentials are Cara Baker RSGT. The test, I don't know. The test wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, but it definitely was. I feel like the most stressful, hardest test that I've taken in my life simply because the wording for this exam was absolutely insane because they just of course word stuff to try to trip you up. But also, it was a bunch of stuff on there that was like um here here it y'all won't understand what it is anyway, but it was some stuff on there that I never even studied and I'm like girl I know I failed but at the end so with this exam it tells you the exact same day in the exact moment that you push submit whether you pass or fail. So, that's a good and bad thing cuz I know some programs you'll have to wait a few days or even months and weeks to get your results, but yeah. No, it said pass and little bitty small print and then you have to go to the front and then they'll give you a print out of your results and things like that. So, yeah, my license is good for 5 years and then I got to renew. So, I can renew by either taking the exam again, which I'm definitely not doing, or we have to get 50 hours of like certification thing. It's It's something. It's something, girl. I have to look into it more a little bit. But yeah, your girl passed her state board exam. The passing rate for this exam is 40.1%. [music] I just want that to sink in. Don't mind my hair, girl. I just got up and brushed it and left. Yeah, it's a 40.1% to pass the RPSGT examination. Woo! Glad to be gang. But now I'm going to I already got I already accepted my job offer as a non-registered tech. But now that I'm registered, um basically they're going to have to send me another like job offer letter because y'all about to pay me my money, especially cuz I don't start working until next month at my new job. So once they send that over, everything will be great and I cannot wait to get that first check. Also, a good thing about where I'm working is, hey, stop. A good thing that a good thing that I like about my new job is benefits kick in day one. You don't got to wait an extended little 90-day period or whatever like that. Benefits are amazing. Y'all know at my job now that I'm at I mean I had to fight fight fight with them just to get FMLA and literally had couldn't I wasn't qualified for bonding time like nothing. They have FMLA they have PTO they got personal time off two different things. [laughter] They have um bonding time they have another four-week thing like sign me up baby sign me up and they also get paid the most. But yeah, I'm super excited. Um, hope everything works out really well. But I did want to show you guys that I just got in his well, one of his gifts that I was telling y'all about. So, this is actually his rain dance. I'm going to open it so you can see how they look. Make sure they're not damaged because opening things right before you get that out your mouth. Get out your mouth. Opening things right before you have to give it to somebody is not recommended. Girly pop. And I can't stop saying I've been saying girly pop every time I watch um Mama June Pumpkin and Alana always say that and Pumpkin is gone wild, baby. I don't know what to say about [laughter] her if y'all watch them. But yeah. Okay. Also, did I tell y'all that I got a um discount with them? Yeah, I think I did. Anyways, here they go. Oh, he's going to be so excited. He's been literally, like I said, talking about this for at least four to five months for sure. And I've been telling him, "Boy, don't buy that. You don't need that." So freaking cute. And I'm going to keep them in the box and everything because obviously I want him to get the full experience and I'm not going to really just unbox everything, but it comes with the little manual, I guess, cleaner. And then this is the case. How stinking cute. Then it says Ray-B bands right there. The case is really sturdy and it has Ray-B bands on the little button as well. Hey. Hey. Get out of there. Look at them. Bad. Get out. Get out of there. [laughter] And these are how they look. So, I just got a regular plain standard black pair so that it could go with everything that he wears. And if you have Ray-B bands, then you already know. But it say Ray-B bands right here on the lens. And then it has Ray-B bands right here as well on the side. And I don't know about Yeah. And this side has it as well. So, super cute. Um, baby, I don't I don't I don't get the hype, but [laughter] I don't know. I feel like when I um get rich and stuff because I'm going be rich, but when I really start just having money and making crazy amounts of money, I don't want to say never, but man, I may buy me like a cute little Chanel pair of shades or something. Not even shades cuz baby I wear glasses and I can't wear contacts. I would probably be the type to have like my prescription glasses be of higher quality like a Chanel or anything like if they even make glasses but you know some name brand something like that. But I don't know as [laughter] far I'm not just a shades girly so that's probably why. Um other than that I don't know. I feel like I would just be spending all my money on home decor and home improvements and different things like that because [clears throat] decor is hot, you know? So, all my money would be going to that. But yeah, I'm in a good mood. I am extremely tired and wore out. Like I said, I've been up really since 2:00 a.m., then went back to sleep, woke back up at like 4:30, tried to lay back down, been up since 5:00 a.m. studying. Jackson took an hour nap, so I didn't even have time. I barely had time to eat before he was up crying. But [cough and clears throat] luckily, Dina did say that she's going to come over today and basically do his bath time and feed him dinner and things like that. And she usually like straighten up a little bit when she's here just to spend time with him, help me out, different things like that. Um, I'm so glad that I do not have to study or worry about submitting an assignment, study, studying, classwork, clinical, nothing. Obviously, I got to work, you know, starting next month, but I'm going to be getting paid. This ain't no more free labor, baby. Okay. >> [crying] >> What you do? What you do? What' you do? What you [laughter] do? What' you do? What' you do? He also has his 15-month appointment. Can you believe 15 months? Um, Thursday. Tomorrow I have an appointment and then my man got something Thursday. And I think I told y'all that part of my graduation gift I was getting a massage. Yeah. this Friday and then we're gonna go out to eat and then come back home and Dina is going to keep Jack's. So that Saturday, she's keeping him Friday. That Saturday we're supposed to be going to my cousin's >> house, Brianna's house. Um because we're having a family cookout, I believe. So as soon as So she'll obviously probably just take him to her house and then I'll just meet him there and then obviously bring my baby back. my man ain't going to be able to go because he works every Saturday and um he already took off for my graduation and things like that. So just taking off back to back just ain't the good look right now that we need and that we're going for. So we're trying to refrain from doing that. But yeah, I'm super excited to be done. It feels nice. It hasn't really sunk in yet because I thought I was going to cry. Um I cried going into the exam just listening to my praise and worship. I literally prayed so hard, studied so hard, so so so hard for everything and and I literally cannot thank God enough. Literally, none of this would be possible without him. I prayed so hard. So hard cuz this exam everybody, they were saying it was so hard. But anyways, yeah, that's all. Um, I'm about to straighten up a little bit in the front and then I'll probably talk to y'all. What's tomorrow? Wednesday. I'm not really I don't know because I haven't did a weekly vlog in a while. So, girl, the last few times I've been vlogging, it's been like 3 hours worth of footage and I'm not trying to do that again. So, I would like to I would like to keep my probably about 45 minutes to an hour long vlogs, but girl trying to edit 3 hours worth of stuff is insane. So, I do need I do have a vlog to edit and things like that, but I'm not doing nothing else today. Tomorrow, I may do it. We'll see. But I know for right now I'm trying to chill and relax. What? Stink eye. You better not put your mouth on that. >> Y'all, the boy don't sit down at all. >> Stop. You can't have it. You can't have it, baby. All right. So, I'll talk to y'all tomorrow probably. Hey y'all. Today, this probably be the last day I'm vlogging, by the way. But today is Friday, June 19th. It is 1:47 in the evening and oh, Friday. And I got a first off went to bed late as I don't know what last night. And then we had to get up. Donna came over at about 7:30 this morning. And then we got up literally what probably 10 minutes or so before 8:00. And then we left out, came here. And I had a massage at the casino. Last time I've been there was probably about 2 years ago. But I really, really like the place. It's really, really nice. And 10 out of 10. Absolutely. I feel amazing. And it's raining right now, by the way, so lighting is probably crazy. But I have um what do I have? Wanted to show y'all what I got real quick. I was trying to vlog while this little stationery, but um yeah. Anyway, so she gave me this little card to say, "Miss A. Baker. It was a pleasure to see you, girl. I can't read cursive. And I hope you enjoy your spa time." And I don't know what her name was. I forgot what it was, but they always write you a little card. And then they'll also recommend you some items. So they'll have this card on the table and then they'll recommend items, I guess, depending on what they observe while they massage you or something. And what I got, first off, the box is cute. Came with a little bow. It's blue. I thought that was cute. And what I got was 50 $50. Oh my card just I bought this oil. I don't know how you say this. It's from some farm. She said it's all natural organic and things like that. It was made in Utah and bloom in a bottle and Camela oil, I guess. I don't know. I'll just show y'all what it say. Y'all can read. And I got this because she used another oil with some different oils on me, but I really like a cute Oh, yeah. Calming and rejuvenate. So, yeah, she used um a calming oil on me, so I decided to go ahead and just pick [snorts] this up because I told her that I really liked it. So, this is probably what she used on me or something like it. Um yeah, is it worth $50? I don't know. I guess we going to see. $52 right here. That's how much it was. And that's all I got from there. And then where did we go? We went somewhere for brunch. What was it called? What was that called? Good. Best uh >> something calf. Best calf. Best cafe. Something with that. And um it was good. My pancake was literally huge. They gave me two huge pancakes. The ham was good. The fruits that shouldn't have been $5, but it was $5. And then what did he get? Eggs. The sausage was spicy. His sausage was spicy. And he got the biscuit was good and soft. So yeah, it was good. I probably rate it about a seven out of 10. and we had um the flight, something like that. That was good. I rate that 10 out of 10 if you love mimosas and stuff. So, right now we're about seven minutes away from this other jewelry place. Um I think I told y'all in one of my other vlogs when someone had commented that comment. I forgot what she said. Anyway, we had went and got ring sized in February and then after February, what was that? I ordered those two rings from Amazon to try on and see what style I like. And he didn't I'm calling it Marquis, but he I think he said what did he say? Marqui. >> Marquee. >> Marquee. So I've been saying it wrong. I don't know how to say it, girl. But it's my first time ever seeing that diamond, ever looking at it, hearing about it, whatever. So the Marquee, if I'm saying it right now, is what I really, really like. And I just tried that on. Um, I may pop in some videos, but the guy wrote down everything for JC because he was throwing out a lot of information and a lot of details. So, we're on our way to another shop here in Still in Hot Springs while we're here. Just kind of go ahead and get out the way. Um, is that all we're going to do today? That's the last place. Or you want to go to one in Little Rock like Zales or something? Or just let this be it? >> We'll see, bro. We'll see when we get home. I'm getting a little rock though. >> All right. So, we'll see when we get back home if we do another one. Maybe like K's. I know Nikki said hers is from K's. K's Brazil. I don't know. Maybe something more known just in case so I can get it clean because I would have to come. They don't have one in Little Rock. He said they got one in Alabama. Two in Alabama now, I think. >> And no, two in Texas, one in Alabama. Mobile, Alabama, one here in Hot Springs, and then they have one in Elorado. Girl, no. We're not close to none of them. So, I would have to obviously come here like every six months for it or whatever. So, maybe somewhere like K's or Sales, you know, you can find those places a lot better. So, we'll see. Yeah, that's all we doing. I'll talk to y'all when we get back to the house.
