[Music] hello everyone welcome to the vlog we're still here well and rested just woke up it is saturday may 1st baby and we're ready to get this you know what i'm saying we're ready look at this beautiful spring bouquet of tulips it's making me so happy just having that around i'm having my lemon water gotta be hydrated in the morning really struggling to drink through it though because i'm not thirsty at all it is not nice outside but it's fine because yoni and i are in the vibe right now we woke up we listened to some nice summer beats we're ready to get it i slept so good i meditated before i went to sleep and i fell asleep like a baby like i was dead the meditation was like 10 minutes i fell asleep in the first like three but it must have worked because i slept so good but yoni is making himself some breakfast i am going to just get on the mat and get my body moving and then yeah we'll just see where the day takes us it feels like such a good day today right yo it does i woke up on some other [ __ ] if you're curious i will be using headspace it's an app that is a meditation app but it also has yoga classes and stuff like that on it so that's what i'm going to be using yeah we're going to do like a nice 20 minutes let's get it you are my sunshine on a rainy day [Music] you are the one [Music] wow guys i feel so good i was just saying that this might be like my new thing i did the yoga practice and then i also did an extra 10 minutes of meditation after and i'm gonna have my water do you guys drink water even if you're not thirsty i want to know because yoni is always like you drink water not just because you're thirsty and in my head you drink water when you're thirsty so let me know what you do i want to make some granola i usually have a whole big ass container of granola that i just make myself because the quantity that comes out it just like saves you a lot of money yeah i thought i would show you this is not my recipe i will link the recipe down below [Music] so [Music] so [Music] this almond butter sauce that you put on the granola is incredibly delicious like it kind of makes like a vegan caramel flavor clean up the bowl now i'm gonna clean after myself granola is in the oven now i'm waiting for that i'm going to get ready for the day not too much because i hate looking just like and i only put beverage literally on my cheeks kind of put on my nose a little bit but i never put any type of coverage like on my forehead i don't know i'm not really like a big makeup person i just like to do whatever works for me and then i just keep doing that i'm not very experimental and eyebrows are done and then we're gonna do a little bronzer slash contouring [Music] and then i'm gonna go in with mascara see guys we're almost done we're already at the mascara and then the last thing i do is just a little bit of blush a little bit on my nose i feel like that's a new thing now and that's my makeup routine it's like the simplest [ __ ] make a really simple smoothie bowl while i finish my delicious breakfast i'm going to talk to you guys about the sponsor of today's video which is skillshare you guys know how much i absolutely love skillshare and what they have to offer on online learning community with thousands of inspiring and creative classes that cover so many different topics from photography to creative writing entrepreneurship since i'm practicing a lot more self-care by meditating practicing yoga going on walks and i also want to incorporate more writing in my everyday life a really good way to do that is journaling so one class i would like to recommend to you guys is by jasmine cheyenne and she's a writer and self-healing advocate her class writing for self-discovery on skillshare is something that i think would be really beneficial for anybody that wants to get better with journaling so if you're interested in exploring this journaling journey with me the first 1000 people that use the link in my description box will get a free trial for the skillshare premium membership so you can also explore your creativity so even though it is saturday that doesn't mean the work stops have to make the thumbnail for the video that's going up tomorrow i also have to do some homework stuff so i'm just gonna be doing that until i get sick and tired of doing it probably go somewhere i don't know but i'm just gonna do some work for a little bit all right guys i literally forgot that i was vlogging today it is several hours later i changed i've been doing a lot of work on my computer finished everything for the video i am going to leave in like 15 minutes or so to get some food with my family and then i'm gonna come right back and literally do more work um probably go to the bookstore at one point and yeah look at my beautiful flowers so cute and just be here for a little bit longer and then i'm gonna head out to meet my family we're gonna go to this food truck with these like incredible sandwiches i'm sorry i feel like every vlog i started out strong and then there's not much happening okay and now he's on the phone but anyways i'll um see you guys when i'm on my way out [Music] changed my outfit because it's raining as you can see filming on my phone because i just didn't feel like bringing my camera with me and i'm headed to get some sandwiches with my fam as i said earlier so yeah that's about it just giving you an update on my outfit okay see you there [Music] [Music] all right y'all so i am done with lunch dinner with fam finished that [ __ ] was so good it was like a harissa sweet potato sandwich it was insane nice and spicy actually driving to a bookstore i just want to have like a physical book because that way if i want to read that book like i will have to take a break from everything else to read a book you know audiobooks are good but they're good to be able to like read them technically while you're doing something else purpose of why i wanted to get a book is because i want something that detaches me from everything else you know what i mean it detaches me from my phone it attaches me from my laptop can't you can't do something else and read at the same time so that's why i wanna stop by the bookstore and just grab a book i don't know what yet [Music] hey guys um hey guys it is the next day i stopped filming yesterday i don't remember when oh after like when i was at the bookstore i got home and even though i said i was gonna do work you're so silly i was like really tired and really not like mentally able can you stop to like focus on doing actual homework so yoni and i just like hung out and watched a movie movie was it was without remorse without remorse michael b jordan it was a really good movie i must say like i usually don't like military very like i don't like very violent movies but that one was good anyways and then today i went to work it's sunday i went to work from 6 30 to 2 30 and then now i'm very tired but guess what your girl she's got homework to do and she's got more than usual actually i got myself a matcha because uh i need that energy right now y'all i'm so tired i could take a nap i got lunch because i also don't feel like making food and i don't want to spend the time to make food so i got myself a yummy salad it has chicken sweet potatoes oops avocado pesto dressing and arugula just kind of try to like have a little bit of chill time and then i'm going to get into my schoolwork yay i love nice weekend sunday [Music] okay guys alia needs to study but she's really really struggling what are you doing in a situation like that you got homework and you got and you guys youtube and you got youtube on tv right right gary or donald trump you got three mornings [Music] hey guys still here doing my work but i just want to show you how pretty these are they're so pretty they make me so happy i i put my phone away i had to like give it to yoni so that i wouldn't go on it almost done one assignment out of two i was finishing up i'm finishing up the easier one where i have to write a um article being a little journalist right now but that i have to do an assignment for my law class which is called a fire rack now 507 pm and it is due at 11 59 pm so yeah i'm gonna be here the weather was absolutely beautiful out today didn't get to enjoy it you gotta grind and my camera's about to die cool i'm done my first thing i'm on to my [Music] i'm just taking a little break right now because i got a little bit hungry heating up my usual black beans so i'm gonna just put these in the microwave 60 seconds make them into a quesadilla that's gonna be my dinner i really don't have the patience or the time or the energy to be like making an actual dinner right now i am advancing in my homework it's going okay it is 7 40 right now it's gonna take me like i don't know 10 minutes to make this i cannot have my phone close to me because i will go on it so the only thing you can do is put my phone as far away as possible and all the way over there is the only way that i can get my [ __ ] done right now but now since you know i'm on my break i will check out what's going on in the real world right check out instagram see what everybody's doing it's so crazy the fact that i check instagram to see what people are doing and a lot of them i've never met in my life have you thought about that when i go on instagram i have this feeling of let me let me catch up on the world as if like the world is this a lot of what we put on here is what we choose to show about our lives the outfit that they actually wore they could have gone in that outfit gone outside oh let me take a photo and then gone home put on sweatpants and then actually went on with their day you know what i'm saying like don't get fooled by like someone's way of letting you perceive them because if you want to be the most i don't know stylish person you can do that even if that's not the clothes that you wear in real life as in you get out the door and you go to the grocery store it doesn't matter because you can get some cool outfits and you can just take photos of them on instagram post them everybody that follows you on instagram will literally think you're always wearing stylish clothes let's say you want to be vegan person and you want to prove that as your self as part of your identity you can easily just take hella photos of vegan food that you might cook but who knows maybe you don't even eat that maybe you actually eat a lot of chicken like i'm just saying that it's kind of crazy and i don't know why i'm getting into this and i'm getting so riled up i find myself and maybe i'm the only one that's doing this but i doubt it like you can create such a persona and a whole lifestyle and that might not even be how you actually live your life i'm just saying this as a reminder to myself and maybe to you whoever you're watching some people might go to specific places or do specific things or wear specific clothes because they want to further this persona or this idea that is part of their identity to their followers it's just a good thing to keep in mind that's all that's all i'm trying to say i try my best to show how i actually live my life not just the aesthetic cute parts of it i'm showing you right now i'm literally spending a sunday all day at work and then came home and then i'm doing homework i'm not doing anything cute i'm making a freaking look at this quesadilla with a beans and cheese you know it's not that cute it's not aesthetically pleasing but sometimes i put in effort and sometimes i'm actually doing cool aesthetically pleasing i i have to stop saying aesthetically pleasing but you know what i'm saying so that you don't perceive me as like a person that is always got their [ __ ] together that they're always productive that they're always you know working out and being healthy and organized and like [ __ ] my thing is due tonight at 11 59 could i have done this homework before yes did i do it no i had other stuff going on i chose not to do it i chose to go on walks i chose to watch a movie last night i could have done the homework i'm just saying this is a priority for me now that i have such an amazing family like you guys on this platform that's a disservice to you as a viewer you are taking this as if it's the truth and it might totally not be the truth and that can be harmful to a lot of people anyways i know i just went in a really intense rant earlier while i was cooking but it's honestly it's because of my homework that i'm working on trying to think like where did that come from and it's just because that's kind of like what i've been thinking about for the past i'm gonna start working on this have five so for the past three hours wait it's only been three hours feels like it's been 50 hours if you sat through that rant which i feel like a lot of people were like i'm so over this let me click off you know everything with a grain of salt this is just like how i feel doesn't mean that's how you should feel at all i'm not telling you how to feel i'm just i'm just sharing how i feel content creators they themselves also consume mass media and social media specifically and we're all susceptible to all of this like influence but we have to remind ourselves that it is very curated we're all part of it to a certain extent just think it's all about awareness and being aware of these currents of information of trends filtering through them while you know still being able to appreciate people and influence because influence is not necessarily negative even if it's not specifically negative influence it can still negatively impact you when it comes to how you look at yourself and your identity and comparing it to somebody else's that's all i'm going to say and now it sounds like i'm on a podcast but yeah i'm gonna continue working because i've procrastinated enough on this break try to finish this within the next hour it is now 8 15 so hopefully by like 9 30 we're done with this and i can close out for the night and actually like go to bed we shall see [Music] it is 1101 guys i just submitted my paper i think it was really good i think i did a good job so i'm over here just closed my computer poor thing it's been like for the past few hours so i need some rest and so does my brain but i'm going to end the night by writing my monday to-do list of things that i want to start my week with okay y'all i love you you know the drill you know how i feel you know how i feel i gotta tell you i gotta tell you okay bye bye bye okay bye
