(upbeat music) (upbeat music continues) - Good morning everybody.
01:18 - Or I guess I should say good afternoon cause it is literally 12. 05.
01:21 - But hi, hello. I have had a protective morning and then a very unproductive like two hours following.
01:28 - It’s fine. You know, it’s all about balance.
01:30 - I’m getting ready to film what’s new. But I thought, before I did, I would go through a couple things with you.
01:35 - Number one, I think I’m going to attempt to do my nails by myself at home today.
01:39 - I used to sometimes get like dip nails, gel nails, sometimes even acrylic nails.
01:45 - And I’ve just been really missing having like cute put together nails.
01:48 - And I do like my own gel nails at home. But it’s just not the same.
01:52 - So I actually bought some like, press on. I know that sounds kind of funny because, I feel like press on used to be like this thing.
01:59 - I used to wear them in probably seventh grade and they came with like a little sticker.
02:03 - And they only lasted for like the day. But also they have ones that you can glue on with nail glue.
02:08 - I think I remember using those in Elementary school.
02:09 - I’m pretty sure, a girl I went to Elementary school with, like glued her eyes shut.
02:14 - Cause it’s just literally super glue. So, I bought some of the stuff from Amazon.
02:17 - So, I thought I would show you that. And then, also another thing I bought from Amazon is this jewelry holder.
02:22 - And I get a lot of questions about my jewelry.
02:24 - I was just getting ready to put it on and it’s like all nice and organized.
02:27 - So, am glad i showed you. So I got this little thing and I want to say it was like $10 or something like that.
02:32 - I’ll link it down below. It’s really small.
02:34 - I just wanted it to be able to hold all of my jewelry but like still be small and compact.
02:39 - So, it has like a little top section here. Which has my sort of like more delicate, easily tangled necklace.
02:45 - We have Target, Madewell. Drew got this for me a couple of Christmases ago because of the Taylor Swift song.
02:52 - Which is the cutest thing ever Target and Madewell.
02:55 - Drew got that for me for Christmas this year.
02:57 - And we have this little section which has some stud earrings on it.
03:00 - And I didn’t really think this through. Cause I mostly wear hoop earrings, but they don’t go on this.
03:06 - It just doesn’t work like that. So, I just put like my hoops.
03:08 - My kind of like signature, most worn pairs of jewelry.
03:12 - So I have these ones which are kind of like 90’s style.
03:14 - My mom probably had these exact earrings. I mean, not the exact ones.
03:18 - But you know, the same exact style in the 90’s.
03:20 - These are from Wild Fable from Target. These, I believe Cod.
03:23 - I think I got these at H&M. Maybe like two, three years ago.
03:28 - And then, these are from Madewell. They were on sale.
03:31 - They were maybe like $20. I love them.
03:34 - So I kind of have like my three classic hoops.
03:36 - I have this tiny little pair of hoops that are also from Wild Fable that I don’t really wear that often.
03:42 - But, I thought that they looked cute in here.
03:44 - I have my one tiny little ring. I need to add my new little small business rings that I got in my hall video.
03:50 - They’re like the dome rings. But those are in another room.
03:53 - So, I’ll add those when I get to them. And then I have this little choker here.
03:57 - This is from Wild Fable. I just felt like it fit well in there.
04:00 - And then this one is from. This is Madewell.
04:04 - This little like kind of like dog tag type of necklace.
04:07 - And then, these two little earrings. I don’t get to wear that often.
04:10 - I should wear them. These are actually from Ana Luisa.
04:14 - They did a collaboration with my friend Tiffany Ferguson.
04:16 - And she sent those to me. And I was actually going to buy them with my own money and she sent them.
04:20 - So, they have like the little turquoise on them, cause of Arizona.
04:22 - So, I thought that was really cute. These are from Madewell.
04:25 - These are like a cute little on sale clearance thing that I got.
04:28 - And then these, I got as a gift from Drew’s mom.
04:30 - So, there is a little jewelry holder. If you had a lot more studs, this would probably, oh.
04:37 - That’s the other thing is it kind of does that.
04:38 - But then you just fix it. It would probably look nicer.
04:40 - Cause it would be all filled in if you had more hearings than me.
04:43 - But then you can just go like this. Close it up and it’s nice and compact and ready to go.
04:47 - The lighting in here is so yellow. I do apologize.
04:51 - I think I’m gonna wear just, these little 90’s hoops today.
04:54 - God, like this lighting kit, is this better? Oh yeah, that is better.
04:58 - Okay. Auto focus is weird. Got our cute little 90’s hoops on.
05:03 - Then I think for a necklace, I might do like a little stack.
05:06 - Do this little one from Target. And then, maybe like a choker.
05:11 - Actually, that’s kinda cute. And then have a longer one, that’s in my filming room that I’ll probably put on with it.
05:16 - So like, a little baby necklace stack. Oh, I also have this one.
05:20 - This is like, I think they call this like a snake chain or something.
05:24 - I got it on. I don’t remember where I got it.
05:27 - Target? I can’t remember, but it’s the way that it’s shaped.
05:30 - It doesn’t fit inside the jewelry hold itself.
05:32 - So, it’s in this little like clay catch all dish.
05:35 - This is from Urban Outfitters. I probably got this.
05:38 - I would say three, four years ago. And it was $6 cause the tag is still on it.
05:42 - How cute. My bun doesn’t have enough height.
05:46 - She doesn’t have enough volume. There we go.
05:48 - So I’m gonna go in here. Grab my nail file.
05:52 - I’m gonna grab these little things which are the fake nails.
05:56 - Grab some glue. And then for nail polish, I think I’m gonna do white.
06:01 - Then I got this nailed blue. I’ll link all the stuff that I got down below.
06:05 - I’m dropping things. All right, here we go.
06:07 - I have literally not done this since, God, fifth grade.
06:11 - Really bad angle, bad angle. I mean it’s still bad, but whatever.
06:15 - So, these nails are labeled by number. Drew and I pulled them out and we’re messing with them.
06:21 - So they go from, I think one to 10. I’m sorry.
06:24 - They go from zero to nine. Doesn’t really make much sense, but whatever.
06:30 - So, okay. Let’s do some sizing. Oh.
06:33 - Okay. That’ll work. So my thumbs are ones.
06:36 - These aren’t going to be too long. I don’t really like them that long.
06:39 - I got the short ones. These are the ones that I ordered that are short.
06:43 - So, I’m hoping that will help. I don’t, I can’t do that.
06:46 - I have to like wipe my butt, you know. Okay.
06:49 - So this is thumb, middle finger. Quite a journey we’re going on together here.
06:54 - Isn’t it? You know, just quarantine things.
06:56 - I was gonna do this on my own. And I was like, well, maybe some other people would be interested.
07:02 - Yikes, okay. First fingers, ring fingers.
07:05 - It’s kind of easy. Cause I’m just going right down the line.
07:08 - Okay. Cool. Probably should have written these numbers down for next time, but why would I do that? That would be too resourceful.
07:15 - (sneezing) Wow, okay. So, next we just take the blue we glue on.
07:19 - You paint them? Right? Like that’s it.
07:21 - I mean, should I like file my nails a little bit? No, they’re not gonna show.
07:24 - Some people would probably argue that you should buff your nails beforehand.
07:29 - But I left the buffer and the other room. Do I wanna do that, do I wanna get up and get it? No, I really don’t.
07:38 - Okay. Then let’s just go with it. I have a little basket underneath here that I’m dropping these things in.
07:44 - I’m not just throwing them on my floor in case you’re wondering.
07:46 - I’m gonna try not to glue my fingers together.
07:49 - Cause I do remember that back in the day. Remember that happening.
07:52 - I also remember putting these on like in Elementary school like in school.
07:56 - Were we okay? What were we doing? Does anyone else have like a vivid memory of putting on press on nails in school? How did I get away with it? Like I have so many questions.
08:09 - Okay, we’re open. Do I go, nail bed or nail for glue? I’m gonna go nail bed.
08:18 - Oh no. No, no, no. It’s not what I wanted to happen.
08:22 - My worst nightmares are coming true. Oh no.
08:24 - Okay. Note to self don’t push too hard.
08:27 - My life just flashed before my eyes and I thought, yeah.
08:30 - It’s gonna be like a flashback. We all knew that kid who glued their fingers together with super glue in school.
08:38 - And that was almost just me again. Terrifying.
08:41 - Okay. Not bad. Like that’s a good length.
08:43 - Not too long. Not too short. So we’ll keep going.
08:47 - These aren’t sticking very well. Why did I think this was going to be so easy and it’s like kind of not.
08:52 - Am I doing this right? (laughing) It doesn’t feel right.
08:56 - It feels like they’re going to pop off at any second.
08:58 - My friend, Jasmine does press on nails at home and they always look cute.
09:02 - And I know she got hers off of Amazon. Maybe I’ll need to ask her her tips.
09:07 - Because I clearly need help. I’m about to film some videos.
09:10 - So I’m kind of scared that like the second I move everything is gonna go wrong.
09:15 - I don’t know what just happened, but I lost one.
09:18 - Okay. Crisis averted. There we go.
09:21 - All right, so we’re finished. This is what they look like.
09:24 - Honestly, not bad. Just, my only complaint is that they’re way too long.
09:29 - Way, way too long. And I don’t feel like sawing them down at the moment.
09:34 - It’s so weird. Cause like these two, you can see how long that is.
09:37 - Like how far grown out that is. But then when you look at this one, it’s like, I want them all to be that length.
09:43 - So yeah. I just painted them over with a white.
09:45 - They’ll have to do for now. I’m doing a video where I’m trying on jeans.
09:49 - Like how am I supposed to button jeans? I don’t know.
09:52 - I would hate to see what the long ones look like, if these are the short ones.
09:54 - But, whatever. They look better than they did, it’s kinda cute.
09:58 - - [Announcer] Six and a half hours later. - So the good news is I’m done filming.
10:03 - The other good news is I’m in my power line t-shirt.
10:07 - The bad news is after about four minutes all of my nails started popping off and then I just pulled off the rest.
10:15 - So, that was a bust. Filmed that entire process for no reason.
10:19 - But that is okay, because we have a pizza in the oven.
10:21 - So, I’m happy. Ever since we tried that other pizza that like croissant one.
10:26 - We have been craving on another one. So here it is.
10:29 - It’s just the regular, it’s looking pretty good.
10:31 - It has, Oh my God. (beeping) I was gonna say a few seconds left.
10:34 - Still think it needs a couple of minutes. Cause, Oh, needs to be a little more done in the middle.
10:39 - (mumbling) So, I’m standing here and drew comes up and hugs me and I was like, my back hurts.
10:45 - So he starts like swinging me back and forth.
10:47 - And he was like, should we stretch together? And I was like, sure.
10:50 - And he just tried to dangle me and pop my back and now I’m gonna do it to him.
10:55 - (indistinct) Okay. - Now this is, - I lean forward? - No.
11:01 - Did you hear my back popped. - Oh, my god. - Did you hear my back did pop.
11:05 - - I can’t do that. Okay, I’ll try again.
11:07 - One more time. That sounded amazing.
11:09 - I really want something in my lower back to happen.
11:12 - Okay. I’m scared. - Are you ready? - No.
11:15 - - Just don’t. (grunting) (both laughing) - I’ve farted.
11:25 - - You just have to relax am not gonna fart.
11:27 - - I don’t know how to relax. (mumbles) (grunting) You were pulling my shoulder plates like this and they just kept going further and further.
11:39 - So it was like, (grunting) What a fail.
11:42 - Oh, you know what, there was actually one more thing before we go.
11:45 - I was gonna give you a tree update. Cause these are all of the exciting things that are in my life.
11:51 - Bunch of you actually asked what ended up happening to the tree and the storm.
11:55 - And I kind of showed the rain this morning.
11:57 - But I feel like I didn’t show an accurate recap of what happened to the tree.
12:01 - So, they managed to cut like most of it off.
12:03 - But they saved some of it. Here’s what’s left.
12:06 - If you saw the previous Vlog, then you saw what it looked like.
12:09 - Yes, there’s more dog poop, whatever. Sorry.
12:11 - I’ll clean it later. But here’s what it looks like now on the back.
12:14 - So, they basically just cut off like this whole part.
12:18 - I don’t really know why they left all of this.
12:20 - But maybe cause it’s like integral to the roots or something.
12:23 - But yeah, this is what she looks like. It was very apparent that there was, Oh my God.
12:30 - It’s very apparent that there is like some rotting going on and stuff.
12:34 - So, whatever not my tree not my problem. But, sad that it had to happen.
12:39 - And then they got all this cleaned up. There’s no more branches hanging around everywhere.
12:42 - And they obviously, as you can see are not rested on the neighbors house anymore.
12:48 - So that’s good. But anyways, that’s gonna do it for us tonight.
12:51 - Hopefully, you enjoyed. The Vlog was very weird and very boring, but that is like these days.
12:57 - Am I right? So, love you all gonna go eat pizza.
13:00 - Oh, we’re gonna watch “Insecure” on HBO. Forgot to mention.
13:03 - We have been obsessed with “Insecure” on HBO.
13:07 - Is Issa Rae’s show. She’s hilarious.
13:10 - It is like the most wild but funny show ever.
13:13 - And, we’re now on season three. We’ve been cruising through.
13:16 - We watched like an entire season over the weekend.
13:19 - We’re obsessed. So we’re gonna. Yeah, it does make it a lot.
13:22 - And it’s like, I like that it’s showing a part of LA.
13:25 - That’s not like Melrose and West Hollywood and stuff.
13:29 - Like it’s actually showing. It’s basically like a reflection of what Issa’s LA looks like.
13:35 - So, I enjoy it anyways. Okay. Gonna go eat pizza.
13:38 - Love you. Good night. (soft music).
