a week in my life vlog

[Music]

Good morning, guys. Happy Monday.

Today's the first day of my day in the

week vlog, and I thought, you know what?

No, I'm not doing an intro. I think

intros can be kind of annoying. So,

we're just starting the video. No intro

needed. I'm walking. Well, I'm out of

breath. Today, I'm starting out the day

walking to meet my friend for coffee.

Actually, a lot of you guys know her.

It's my friend Liz. She's one of my

really good friends here. And we haven't

like had a coffee date in a really long

time. We've both just been really busy.

So, we like scheduled this in advance.

So, we're going to meet at our favorite

place. It's the Brandy

[Music]

Cafe. Hey guys, Liz and I just got our

coffee.

Guys, so two things changed. I went

lighter with my hair and Liz went

darker. We're back, guys. So, this is

what we did in the coffee shop. Liz had

a great idea. My coffee was so sweet,

they put way too much vanilla in it. She

hadn't ordered hers yet. She was like,

"Okay, I'm going to get a regular coffee

with no sweetener." And then we're going

to mix them together. It was like an

experiment. It was really smart. The

trick is to not, which I saw TikTok on

this, but not to pour the ice out. Like,

you have to drain it in separate cups.

in separate cups and then mix them. And

then we fixed the problem. So now we

have good coffees that aren't too sweet.

That was the

[Laughter]

[Music]

salulu. Okay, guys. I'm back in my

apartment. I had so much fun with Liz

this morning. We just had a cute little

girls morning. Honestly, it's like such

a nice Monday morning. I don't usually

like do that. So, I've been home for a

couple hours just working on my laptop.

I'm about to go print out some things

for Oilia with our summer launch coming

on Thursday. So, I need to go there. But

first, I want to make a smoothie because

I am getting a little hungry. You guys

know my smoothie recipe by now is pretty

much the same.

[Music]

[Music]

I was at lunch with my managers recently

and they were talking about how much

collagen changed their life and they

really educated me and inspired me to

start taking it. So, that is the one

addition to my smoothie that I've been

doing recently. I got the ones from

Vital Proteins, and it is so good and I

can't notice a difference. So, for me,

it works. Anyways, I do need to quickly

go print those things for the Oilia

cards that we're going to be putting in

our summer orders. So, I'm going to try

to drink this quick, grab my stuff, and

then walk cuz I think it's like a

25-minute walk from me.

[Music]

[Music]

Hi pookies. I'm back. Wow. Should I

start calling you guys that? I went and

I got the prints for my Oilia drop on

Sunday. on Sunday. It's on Thursday. I

got at least the tester prints for now.

Wanted to get specific cards for our

summer collection because I just thought

it'd be really fun to switch it up since

these are our summer pieces and I want

to put one of these in every order. So,

this is how they came out. We took this

photo and I took this on my iPhone.

Actually, I loved it. The second I took

this photo at the beach, I knew that

this was going to be the photo of all of

the ones we took in our shoot. So, I

ended up getting a few for now. On the

back, it has a little note with a

discount code that I'm not going to show

because it's if you order. Sorry, I'm

gatekeeping. I did that. And then on my

way back, I decided to stop at the

grocery store because I have no food.

Like, I'm not even being dramatic. I

think I have a bag of chocolate chips.

That's about it. I'm going to do a

little haul of what I got because I love

grocery hauls because I like just

getting inspo for meals. You guys know

it's kind of hard for me sometimes to

think of meal ideas. So, I'm just going

to show you a few of the things that I

got. First things first, my priorities.

Strawberry lemonade. This is so good.

And banana chips, which I already

started eating. I want to make chicken

stir fry tonight. So, I got some bell

peppers for that. Obviously, I got

chicken. I also got some broccoli for

that. Other things include bread, oats,

because I want to make overnight oats. I

was literally in Trader Joe's looking up

breakfast ideas because when I find a

breakfast I like, I will eat that every

day for probably about 3 months until

I'm sick of it and then I move on and I

discard it. The current breakfast has

been yogurt with berries, which is good.

It's been too long. You know, this is a

cyclical thing. The cycle is done with

my yogurt. I've developed an aversion to

it now because I've had it so much. And

I need to find my next breakfast. I hope

that I like this. I'm sure I will. I

used to eat these often. Overnight oats

with some berries and nuts. I got chia

seeds for that, too. And some granola

because I thought maybe I put granola on

top. I also got these sunflower seed

butter cups. They're really good.

Probably going to have one

now. I actually like the peanut butter

ones better. Don't get these. Okay,

well, fail. I got more peanut butter cuz

I ran out. And some fries. And lastly,

stir fry sauce for my stir fry that I'm

going to make for dinner tonight. That's

my little haul.

Um I actually I actually don't know what

to do. Um I'm going to call my mom.

[Music]

So, I did make my dinner. I made a

chicken fajita rice bowl. I don't know

if that's technically what this is, but

I've been making taco bowls and I'm kind

of getting sick of them. So, I decided

to make chicken instead with some pepper

and onions. And then I just threw in

some broccoli and rice and teriyak

sauce, which I want more of. We all know

I'm not the best chef. I'm not even a

chef. I'm just trying to survive. You

know, cooking is new to me. I really

didn't cook in college at all. Postgrad.

Now, I still didn't cook last year. I

had no kitchen. So, this is like my

first time cooking consistently and I'm

learning. You know, I think my biggest

weakness is that I take forever. Like,

this took me an hour. It will probably

take most people 20 minutes. So, that

does frustrate me. I have to figure out

something because I could not be

spending this much time. I made

leftovers for tomorrow. I'm going to eat

this and then watch the game. I'm a

really big Timberwolves fan. Honestly,

my perfect night. Good morning, guys.

It's the next day. I'm kind of in like a

sad mood. I'm one of those people who

the weather really affects my mood. And

today is extremely gloomy and rainy,

especially on days like this. I need to

get out of my apartment and like force

myself out because it just like makes me

mentally feel a little better. I was

going to go to Central Park today with

some friends, but that is obviously not

happening anymore. So, instead, I'm

going to go to a cute coffee shop, which

I know I always go to. I feel like

that's just appropriate for a rainy day,

is to go to a coffee shop. Also, to make

me feel better, I want to get dressed

and ready and put on a cute little

outfit. I have a few options of things.

The one thing I know for certain is I'm

going to be wearing this bag and I'm

going to kind of revolve my outfit

around this because I love it and I just

got it. And Coach is actually sponsoring

this video. So, thank you so much to

them. That is actually a dream for me. I

have them on my vision board, guys. I

put them on there as a goal of a brand

to work with. It came true, guys. This

is your sign to really make your vision

board. Let me show you. This is my

vision board. And there is Coach. You

guys already know I love Coach. This is

the Coach Terry bag. And this is such a

beautiful bag because I like how the

Coach logo is so subtle. And I also

really like the silver hardware. I've

been really into silver recently. And I

also like this one specifically because

it is so neutral. It just like would go

with any outfit. Let me try them on and

see what we

like. For pants, I'm thinking these

low-waisted flared black pants. Okay,

here is the look so far. I don't know

what I think about this. I like it. I

want to try this coat and see what we

think. Okay, this is the second option.

I don't know what I think, but I feel

like I can do a little

[Music]

better. All right, guys. outfit is

complete. I ended up sticking with

mixing black and brown. I added some

silver jewelry today. Also, I wanted to

keep it consistent with my bag that has

silver hardware. You guys know my

favorite boots of all time are these. I

love how this look came together. And my

Coach bag goes so perfectly with it. I

do like with Coach that I can either

dress up my outfit or dress it down with

the

[Music]

bag. Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Good morning, guys. You may be wondering

what is the occasion for the matcha and

the flowers. I'm getting my friend

matcha and flowers for her birthday. So,

I woke up this morning. I was texting

her roommate cuz I need to drop it off

hopefully before she wakes up after I

dropped off her little birthday

surprise. I had a lot of work to do

because Oilia launched our summer

collection on this day. We were

launching at 11:00 a.m. and I think I'm

filming this around 9:00. I just had a

few finishing touches and things I

needed to do on the website and it was

really successful. As I'm talking to you

guys right now, we sold out of almost

everything. I think we're planning on a

restock right around when this video

goes up. Thank you guys if you have

supported Oilia. It means the world to

me. But after it launched, I took the

train to go to a meeting I had planned

with my managers. Okay, guys, little

update. So, I finished working at the

coffee shop and my summer collection

just went live for Ailia. It's doing

really well. I'm not really the best

with web site stuff and my assistant's

out of town, so I was a little worried

about it, but it ended up going live

really smoothly. And now I'm on my way

to a little meeting with my manager. I

just took the subway. I'm running a

little late, so feel a little bad about

that. We're getting lunch at this

Italian restaurant called Laora Bianca,

which I don't think I've been to before.

Wow, my heels are so loud. They're very

loud.

[Music]

Oh my gosh, guys. I am so cars sick

right now. I had my little lunch meeting

with my managers and then I Ubered to

Brooklyn, which was like a 20-minute

Uber because I have an event with Drunk

Elephant, which I'm really excited. It's

kind of like a they call it, I think, a

master class. The Ubers here are like so

jerky and it makes me feel sick every

single time. And this time was

especially bad. So before I go in, I'm

like standing outside because I need to

recover and help my nausea to go away. I

hate being cars sick. Like I do feel

like I'm going to be ill all

[Music]

[Music]

day. Of course you can use your finger.

update. My skin is glowing. That was so

fun. I've never done like a master class

like that with the brand. I've seen so

many brands put on little events like

that and I've always wanted to go. Sorry

guys. I feel like I've been vlogging

poorly today, which we all knew one of

these days would have that. It just

seems to always be that way. I've just

been running around like all day. So,

I'm in the Uber to my friend's birthday.

The same friend that I dropped off the

coffee and flowers for this morning.

She's having like a little birthday

dinner lunch. Uh, is there anything else

I have to say? No, I think that's it.

Okay bye.

To

you. Good

morning. I just woke up. Why would I

even say that? Like, I clearly just woke

up. Like, I don't need to say that. You

guys can tell. I have to post a video.

which posts two videos and then I have

to submit a third video to a brand and

I'm pretty behind on my editing. So, I'm

basically just going to be at my

computer all day long. Big thing for me

though on days like this when I'm just

going to be on my computer for so much

of it is that I just need to get out of

my apartment. It's like the social

stimulation even if I'm not speaking to

people though cuz obviously I'm working

majority of the time on my laptop. But

just like being around people for me

like mentally is so important. And I've

been like this since I was like 17. I

remember editing videos or just doing

school work and homework. And I'd always

prefer to like leave my house and do it

somewhere else. Obviously not all the

time, but especially on long days like

this. It just helps to like break up my

day. Being around people like makes me

feel less alone, I guess, especially

because I live alone and I like work

alone. As much as I love to be alone and

we talk about that on here a lot, I do

think it's important for me to just get

out and socialize and just like be

around people and like coexist with

other people. So, let's get ready. And

it's 7:00 a.m., so we're getting an

early start.

[Music]

I just realized I never made my

overnight oats. I actually forgot about

them. I have no words. Like, I can't

believe I did that. I was hyping them up

for you

guys. I do make the best avocado toast,

though. My friends would say the same.

I've made avocado toast for two of my

friends, and they loved it. I've really

perfected my recipe. It's obviously not

that hard, but I'm very proud of it.

It's like the one thing I can make.

[Music]

I'm with Nikki. Say hi. Introduce

yourself. Hi, I'm Nikki. We're having an

editing date, working together because

we both need to edit like all the time.

I've been here since like literally 8:00

a.m. and we're just working together. Oh

my god, I get to see the behind the

scenes. Yeah, I love it. Oh my god, my

neighbor below me is so loud. I can

always hear his conversations in detail.

I can hear everything he's talking

about. I feel like things I shouldn't

know. I have been home for the past 5

hours since I left the coffee shop. I've

just been in my bed laying editing my

vlog and I just posted it. So, I feel

really good about that. But, I literally

had nothing to vlog because I was

sitting in silence for 5 hours. Right

now, I'm going to be packing orders for

Oilia, my jewelry brand. I think I

talked about this earlier in the week,

but we launched our summer collection.

And I want to pack some of the orders.

We do everything out of my apartment,

which is kind of crazy, but I wanted to

do things like fully myself to learn all

aspects of the business from the little

things to the big things. So, I'm going

to pack some of the orders from our

summer collection that just launched.

And I love it. And I think it sold out

or some of the pieces sold out already

and it just launched. So, that's crazy.

I love you guys. I think we're going to

be restocking hopefully next week. This

is the setup we have right now. I laid

everything out really aesthetically just

for a photo for the Instagram, but I'm

going to start

[Music]

packing. Okay, guys. Roughly an hour and

a half later, I finished the orders for

today. They're right here all wrapped

and ready to go to be shipped out

tomorrow. I am I don't know what I'm

going to do. Probably go to bed soon.

So, that took actually longer than I

thought. I always underestimate the time

on everything and I need to get better

at that. So, good

[Music]

night. Good morning, guys. It's a good

day because I remembered finally to make

my overnight oats last night.

I literally got into bed, was about to

go to sleep, and then I remembered

suddenly that I needed to make my

overnight oats. So, it's really easy.

It's basically same parts, oats and

milk, and then some peanut butter and

honey. And then I just threw in some

strawberries and granola on top. Oh,

there's also chia seeds in here. Um, I'm

going to eat this in peace and

enjoy the sun because the sun is out.

I'm going to get ready and then we'll

figure out the day. Okay, guys. I got

dressed. By the way, breakfast was so

good. That's my new hyperfixation

breakfast. I got this outfit shopping at

the vintage shop by my apartment last

week and I love it. I am leaving for

Alaska next week. So random. I know

people are going to be like, "Why are

you going to Alaska?" Honestly, my dad

and I just wanted to take a trip

together. We've always talked about

going to Alaska. The nature, it looks

beautiful there, and it's supposed to be

a good time of year to go. It is going

to be a little chillier than I

anticipated, though. So, I want to go to

Brandy to grab a few warmer pieces of

clothing that are so cute. I think like

a crew neck or like a zip-up hoodie. I'm

going to do that and then when I get

back later, I think I'm going to pack.

Brandy kind of sucked today. At least in

my opinion, it did. I just was kind of

underwhelmed. But just as I gave up hope

on my way out, I saw this zip-up. It's

actually pretty thick, which is kind of

what influenced me to get this because I

do think it will keep me warm. And then

I went home and I packed. So, that was

my week. in the life vlog. I hope you

guys liked watching. Stay tuned for the

next video. I'm so excited. It's going

to be one of my favorites. And I'll see

you next week. Love you guys.
