trying something new with my hair...

00:51 - Welcome to another vlog. It’s no surprise that today is another filming day but I thought I would show you some fun new products that I bought as like a little bit of like a quarantine pamper sash, I don’t know.

01:04 - I’ve been, as you all know, going through it a little bit.

01:07 - And I thought treating myself with a couple of nice things, might be nice.

01:11 - I don’t rely on like makeup or hair products or whatever to make me feel good but I just thought it wouldn’t hurt.

01:16 - It might be fun to do a little bit of a… My neighbors have a tent in their backyard and they’re in it.

01:25 - Anyways, it’s quarantine. Listen, anything goes.

01:27 - There’s people landscaping in the background it’s totally fine.

01:30 - So, okay. One of the things I wanna do I got myself a couple of things.

01:34 - I got some fake nails ‘cause I’ve been seeing everybody do press on nails at home and they’re super cute.

01:39 - I got some like shorter ones ‘cause I have like really tiny nails.

01:41 - Might try those out in a little bit maybe later but I also picked up these little extensions.

01:48 - These are by Barefoot Blonde, Amber Fillerup.

01:51 - She’s also from Arizona and she has a hair extensions company and she has this thing called, what is it called again? I think it’s just called fill-ins.

02:00 - Yeah, it’s called fill-ins and here’s the little like sample and that’s pretty dang close.

02:07 - I mean, it’s a little lighter than my hair, but like come on.

02:11 - I guessed online, so this is like the sample thing.

02:15 - So for some reason the color doesn’t work out for you you can return it, but if you open this you can’t return it obviously.

02:23 - So here’s the little tester. I would say that’s pretty dang accurate.

02:26 - So yeah, I got the color butterscotch. I just looked at like the models and the colors that they use and stuff.

02:34 - And I think it’s pretty spot on. So, I’m gonna open it.

02:38 - Yeah. It says consult tester before opening it’s not eligible for return or exchange after this seal is broken.

02:44 - Did I keep the instructions? I did. It’s not extensions ‘cause obviously I don’t need that but it’s something that fills in like this area of your hair.

02:54 - And I thought that looks kind of fun. So I mean, hopefully that will be me.

02:57 - We’ll see. So you do like the front part of your hair and it just basically like makes it a little more full in front.

03:05 - A lot of people who bleach their hair or use a lot of hot tools or whatever can get some like breakage in the front.

03:12 - And this is like my bangs from about this time last year that have grown out but I don’t know, like sometimes I feel like they’re in this area, especially it’s just so sparse.

03:23 - So I thought I would try it. I guess we’re just gonna go for it.

03:26 - So it says here, step one, make a part line all the way to the back of your head, starting at your temple.

03:31 - Place the first clip an inch to an inch and a half away from the front hairline.

03:35 - Wrap it into the back, repeat it on the other side.

03:39 - Cool. So it’s basically just extensions but they’re not to make your hair longer.

03:43 - They’re like the same length as your hair. They’re just to make it fuller, hence fill-ins.

03:48 - I’m gonna open it, no turning back. These are kind of expensive.

03:51 - Think they’re like $140, which I’m pretty sure you can get like a full set of hair extensions for $140.

03:56 - But it’s been honestly the last time I wore hair extensions was 2017 maybe so it’s been a while but I just thought this would be something fun so okay.

04:10 - They kind of looked like tapings. I’ve never used tapings, but I’ve seen my friends before.

04:14 - Look, it looks like they might be kind of flat which is good.

04:17 - So here they are well they really do look like so similar to my hair color.

04:24 - That’s crazy. Should I curl them first or should I put them in first? I can’t remember what I used to do.

04:30 - Definitely gonna straighten the ends. That familiar smell, hot tools on a hair extension stinks let’s just be honest.

04:38 - Okay. So here we go. You take to near your temple and make a straight line back.

04:45 - I guess I’m just curling these after the fact.

04:47 - I don’t know. I don’t really wanna do that, but it’s okay.

04:50 - I don’t have a whole lot of hair right here I have this like weird bald spot towards the front of my head.

04:56 - It’s not weird it’s just something I have. Oh God. I’m out of practice but it all clipped in this is a terrible angle.

05:04 - Did I like curl it now? I’m so confused. This doesn’t really feel like it’s in there that good.

05:10 - Hi Mo, you come to chat? Oh you did? Oh Do I know what I’m doing at all? No.

05:18 - Is this too long? Do I need to put it up higher? I think I do.

05:23 - Hi. - Oh, sorry. - It’s okay.

05:26 - - Who is she? - I don’t even know, 2017 me.

05:30 - - What if it’s the hair of a serial killer and then it grabs onto your head and then you become a serial killer ‘cause you’re possessed by the hair.

05:38 - - It’s a very logical thought to have. Does it make a difference? - I mean there’s you can see the back.

05:45 - - You can? - Oh yeah, a hundred percent.

05:48 - - Oh no, I messed it up. - A hundred percent.

05:51 - - Okay hold on, regroup. - Do you need me to be your spotter in the back? - Yeah, I know you’ll call my ass out.

05:57 - Okay. I think it needs to be a little higher.

05:59 - - Can I see? (indistinct) me. You have a little more volume, like right here.

06:06 - - I think it’s too short. Okay. - Round three - Intermission.

06:12 - Okay. After some playing around, here’s the side with it and here’s the side without it.

06:20 - Can you tell? I can’t really tell that much.

06:23 - I’ve been considering like, do I wanna get like maybe one or two little tapings right here in the front and like nowhere else in my head because it’s sort of an area that I always wish was like more filled in but then these tapings cause more damage as a result I don’t really know, but like it’s not bad.

06:38 - It’s kinda cute. Okay. We’ll try the other side.

06:40 - Okay. There we have it. Not bad. Should I, are you gonna show me? Drew has been anxiously awaiting the delivery of a dragon that he wants to paint and it’s just arrived.

06:51 - Is it downstairs? We have to see it.

06:53 - Obviously. It’s a big box. - It’s a big guy.

06:56 - - So for scale, this is the size of things that he normally paints.

07:01 - Very, very, very tiny. Maybe an inch and a half tall.

07:05 - - Either 25 or 28 millimeter. So two inches, maybe inch and a half excited yeah.

07:11 - - I’m excited. Unboxing. (indistinct) You want me to move the box? - Those are the wings.

07:22 - - Those are just the wings? Look at him.

07:27 - There he is. Big blue. What color are you gonna paint it? - It’s a black dragon.

07:32 - - It’s made in a 3D printer, you said? - Wow.

07:40 - - Are you excited? It’s the size difference, that’s pretty crazy.

07:45 - And he turned off the camera right as you said he was like, this is amazing.

07:49 - Super cool. I’ll make sure to update once you finish it.

07:52 - Does anyone else’s significant other have hobbies like this? Sick.

07:56 - Where are you gonna store that? - In our room.

08:00 - - Took a quick brief intermission for some lunch but now it’s time to get dressed.

08:04 - So I’m gonna pick out my outfit. I do bulk filming quite a bit on my main channel so what I think I’m gonna do is like this little moment little white tee with the cute little sweater vest over it.

08:15 - My favorite trend right now is sweater vest.

08:18 - This one’s from St. John’s Bay. It’s a size large men’s sweater vests.

08:23 - I got it on Poshmark for like 10 bucks. I think I’m gonna do those.

08:27 - And I’ve got some mom jeans in here that I’m gonna put on.

08:29 - And then I’m also gonna wear this pretty little dress that Alexa thrifted for me look how gorgeous that is.

08:34 - What should I put on first? Should I put on the dress? I think I should.

08:38 - Oh, completely forgot to mention as well that the cute little sweater set that I was why did I hang this here? Like the bad bad angle.

08:46 - The sweater set that I was wearing from Target the other day in my vlog I filmed it well, I’m so mad about it.

08:54 - I filmed three videos and the majority of the audio from all three of those videos got completely fucked up.

08:59 - I don’t know what happened. That lid was crooked and it was bothering me.

09:03 - I don’t know what happened. It’s something like my microphone settings were off or something like that but there were some clips that were completely fine completely normal sound.

09:10 - And then there were other clips that were recorded that like 1 to 2% volume out of a hundred.

09:17 - And so I had to like raise the volume a ton like stack a bunch of the audio clips, but then all you could hear was white noise in the background ‘cause like you raise the audio so much.

09:26 - So then I did like the white noise remover thing but then it sort of sounded like I was talking through one of those like wrapping paper tubes.

09:33 - So I don’t know. I filmed a story time, I talked about that and I don’t know like maybe it’s a sign that I shouldn’t post the story time.

09:42 - ‘Cause it was a funny trip that Drew and I took a few years ago with another couple and like it turned out to be just kind of weird and like one of the people on the trip just like made it kind of miserable for all of us.

09:54 - And it’s a funny story, like Drew and I talk about it all the time like amongst our friends and family and stuff but I don’t know, like the audio got completely messed up.

10:02 - It doesn’t sound that great. It’s like 30 minutes of footage so I’m trying to decide if I should just like say, okay let people just hear like slightly less better quality audio and just deal with it for the one video or do I just like take that as a sign that it’s I should scrap the video.

10:18 - You know what I mean? I feel like by the time this vlog goes live I’ll probably already have the video up or not so we’ll see but I really do like think it was a funny video like I that’s all I wanna do during this time.

10:30 - I just wanna make people laugh. I just wanna make people feel less alone and just distracted from the chaos that is life.

10:37 - So I don’t know. I’m gonna put on my lipstick, get changed I guess like, you know, back in the day when I used to film my vlogs, I used to have all these chats in the car and now I feel like it’s bathroom chats.

10:48 - Like it switched from car chats to bathroom chats ‘cause I like don’t ever drive anywhere.

10:53 - When we were downstairs Drew kept telling me he could see the line for this extension thing so I don’t know.

10:59 - It looks good. Like I feel like it does look slightly more full which is what I wanted.

11:05 - But I wonder if I should just look into like tapings and maybe those will be flatter or something, we’ll see.

11:10 - Gonna put on my favorite lipstick. This is the Fenty Stunna lip paint in the color unbutton.

11:16 - I love this applicator. Oh my God I’m a beauty guru.

11:19 - This applicator is like kind of different. It’s like unique and I don’t know I feel like it just gives you like a really clean line and just able to do my lipstick like so fast and there we have it all done.

11:31 - Okay. Gotta change. I’m gonna try on this dress for the first time actually.

11:35 - Let’s see what she looks like. But let’s be honest I am simply counting down the hours until I’m back in my uniform, which is this I don’t know what that was.

11:45 - All right just put the dress on. It’s actually super cute.

11:48 - It’s a bit tighter in like the mid section that I would normally be comfortable with.

11:52 - It’s actually really, really pretty dress. I can’t believe she found this.

11:56 - So I really like the pattern of it and everything.

11:57 - I really love the top part of it like obviously we know I love a milkmaid whatever you wanna call it puff sleeve moment.

12:06 - I’m working through like some body insecurities right now.

12:09 - But like, honestly this is a cute dress. Like I’m so down for it.

12:12 - So I’m gonna go do some filming and then I think we’re gonna have a little takeout date night.

12:16 - I’m really excited about that because it’s like a nice little treat.

12:19 - I’m gonna go try to make these extensions work and have a nice little filming date and we’ll catch up after.

12:24 - Good morning everybody, happy Saturday. I’m on my mattress on the floor.

12:30 - Yes, we did move our mattress back on the floor.

12:35 - It’s a long story, but life is short. My dog is gonna be 10 next month.

12:41 - And you know, she ain’t getting any younger.

12:43 - Something that brings her immense joy is laying at the foot of our bed.

12:48 - And I don’t know if you know this or if you’ve started following me after the fact but she actually tore her ACL and meniscus April of 2020 jumping up on our bed.

12:59 - We didn’t know that it was going to happen obviously we had no warning.

13:02 - She jumped up on our bed every single day, multiple times a day.

13:06 - And for whatever reason that one time just really did her in and we obviously don’t want that to happen again.

13:10 - Because if a dog tears their ACL there is like a 50% chance that they’ll tear the other one so we’re just trying to like preserve it and so we bought this platform bed frame like when we got this bed, I don’t know a few months ago over the summer maybe.

13:23 - And the platform bed frame is nice but it wasn’t low enough to the ground for her to get on.

13:28 - So we actually took the bed frame out. We just have the mattress on the floor right now until we find a lower to the ground bed frame that she’s able to just easily climb up on because I don’t have kids.

13:41 - I don’t have anything else in my life going on like that so prioritizing my dog is a big one for me.

13:47 - So we’ve been sleeping on a mattress floor.

13:49 - Honestly, who cares? It’s not a big deal, but we will eventually find a cute little bed frame, like a platform bed frame or something that’s like super low to the ground.

13:57 - And if you’re wondering what are we gonna do with our bed frame we are actually giving it to two of our friends.

14:02 - They just got engaged over Christmas time and they’re moving into their first house together.

14:06 - And so they have a King size bed so I happened to text them and I was like, hey random but are you guys in need of a King size bed frame? And they were like, yes, oh my gosh.

14:14 - And they love it. So they’re gonna actually come get it this weekend.

14:16 - We’re just gonna do like a driveway drop off type of thing.

14:19 - Now I think what we’re gonna do is go to Starbucks.

14:23 - ‘Cause we got so many Starbucks gift cards for Christmases and birthdays And we haven’t been using them that much.

14:31 - Oh God. That’s right, that’s right.

14:35 - We haven’t been using them that much because we don’t do anything ever.

14:39 - So I think we’re just gonna do a little drive-through at Starbucks.

14:42 - It’s like been our weekly outing these days and maybe we’ll bring Layla.

14:46 - Sometimes they give her a little puppuccino pup cup whatever you call it.

14:49 - I just realized I still have my invisalign in so that’s annoying.

14:51 - I’m gonna change into some leggings and we’re gonna go on our very exciting weekly outing.

14:56 - Hi. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness this is the best day ever.

15:02 - - Oh my goodness. - Family trip to Starbucks.

15:06 - So we just got into the Starbucks line and it’s kind of long.

15:10 - So I thought that I would take a second to talk about the Netflix shows we’ve been watching because I love when we talk about like snacks, TV shows, et cetera.

15:19 - And I feel like we all watch the same things at the same time.

15:23 - So during our Christmas break, what did we watch? “The Crown” watched all four seasons of the crown.

15:30 - “The Crown” was interesting. There were parts.

15:33 - Yeah, I really liked it but then there were parts where I was so painfully bored that it was like really hard to follow ‘cause at any given time in the show I would just be like, who cares? Like who cares what these rich people are stressed about or whatever.

15:47 - But as someone who had like really no knowledge at all about the Royal family, other than like growing up in the princess Diana era I think I was in second or third grade when she died so I do remember hearing about her but knew nothing about the rest of the Royal family.

16:05 - Like their names, didn’t know much of anything about it.

16:08 - So there were parts where Drew and I were like, wait, huh? Like we had to like look up stuff and whatever but yeah, that was okay.

16:17 - And then what else did we watch? We watched “The Outsiders” on HBO.

16:21 - That was only one season, it got canceled after one season.

16:23 - It was very weird. We thought it was like a crime show.

16:27 - - Stephen King. - Yeah. But it was a Stephen King novel.

16:29 - So it was more supernatural. Very interesting.

16:34 - I mean, maybe it wasn’t the worst thing– - But it was just like…

16:39 - - The only good part was the actress who was also in Harriet and she’s also in the new Aretha Franklin show or movie.

16:48 - She was incredible and that was like the only good part.

16:50 - And then– - We watched “The Morning Show”.

16:52 - - Oh yeah. Watched “The Morning Show” on Apple TV.

16:54 - And that was good. Did you like it? - I liked it a lot.

16:57 - - Yeah. - I know you, it took a while for you to kind of get behind it.

17:00 - - I won’t give any spoilers like in case any of you haven’t watched it but it was weird seeing Steve Carell be like that ‘cause we kept just being like, ooh why is Michael doing that? - Yeah. If you don’t know, there’s like some sexual misconduct on like this morning news show and Steve Carell plays a it’s weird because like, even when he’s like being creepy I still see Michael Scott when he’s like cursing at someone I still see Michael Scott – - Like Michael having a meltdown.

17:27 - - Upset and angry instead of him just being, you know, silly Michael Scott he’s being very angry Michael Scott - That part was weird, but it was good, it was good.

17:36 - We enjoyed it. We’re looking forward to the next season.

17:39 - I’m sure there’s others. What else have we watched? (indistinct) order, BRB.

17:44 - - Don’t forget puppuccino. - I won’t.

17:46 - - [Man] 2449. - Thank you. - You can use the first two giftcards.

17:49 - - What a nice chat please wear you’re masking the drive-through.

17:51 - I’ve heard that people don’t do that. Please do it.

17:54 - Here you go. Oh my God, watch her eyes.

17:58 - Oh my goodness. (laughs) Oh my God that is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

18:05 - Had our very healthy breakfast. Got her coffee, (indistinct) likes decaf latte.

18:10 - I’m trying to get just normal this time but usually I get soy milk but sometimes the soy milk at Starbucks is just like and by the way, let me know where you live if there’s oat milk at your Starbucks, because in California they have oat milk at every single Starbucks and here they don’t, they don’t have it yet.

18:26 - The other show that we watched is “Gavin and Stacey”.

18:31 - - Oh. - Oh, we’ve been saying it for everything.

18:36 - - Oh - We’ve been yelling to each other from the other room.

18:39 - We’ve been yelling to Layla. (indistinct) He don’t know that it has like a cult following I feel like.

18:47 - And a lot of British people who follow me or even like people that I know there’s a friend that I have who lives here in Arizona now and her husband’s English they just moved here from England.

18:57 - She was telling me that I need to watch it and so we did watch it.

19:01 - We weren’t really sure how we felt about it in the first episode.

19:04 - But that show is like probably my favorite show I’ve watched like in a really long time.

19:10 - (indistinct) - Sorry. Gavin’s parents Pam and Mick the best characters, hands down.

19:22 - - We’re seriously so obsessed. - And their neighbor friends.

19:26 - (laughs) Well they were always fighting.

19:28 - - We loved it. Highly recommend, it’s on Amazon prime.

19:32 - The episodes are like 20 minutes. It was just so funny and like so weird there were problematic things in it but overall it was a really, really funny show.

19:41 - I loved it. What else did we watch? - I don’t think we have.

19:44 - - Guess that’s it. So we watched what four shows throughout the course of our break.

19:49 - We really wanted to watch “Night Stalker” but I’ve heard so many things saying how extremely like disturbing and graphic it is and I don’t know if I want that.

19:57 - I don’t know if I can handle that. I don’t mind the like scary aspect of it, but I just don’t like gore and like crime scene photos.

20:04 - And there are people who have said that they’re like crime documentary aficionados and even that was like too much for them so I dunno.

20:12 - That’s going to do it for this vlog. Hopefully you enjoyed it.

20:14 - We’re gonna enjoy our breakfast. Well, you’re done.

20:16 - - I’m finished. - I’m not. - Someone was talking.

20:19 - - We will see you in the next one. Toodles.

20:22 - - Toodle-oo. (upbeat music).
