VLOG: face mask you sleep in? this would happen to me, new easy meal prep recipe + so much more!

[Music] okay are you ready for your turn so what I do is I hold my breath underneath the water for 10 seconds and I do it like 5 to 10 times I can't hold my breath that long this it's feels like th knives are stabbing me my face okay I'm about to change into real clothes and style my hair so I have my robe on I got a package off of Amazon I got a couple things and I'll share I got these cups nothing revolutionary I'm sure you guys have seen these around I just wanted so I've had this style cup from Craton barrel for 4 years now I think I bought them when I first moved in together with Christian they're right here I have three of them one of them broke and I don't know if you can see what they look like now I've tried like handwashing them we have a very good dishwasher pod tried like scrubbing them soaking them but they just like look dirty and gross all the time and I use them every single day they're like my favorite cups but they just never got to looking better and I've tried so many things and one broke so it's a set of three so I'm thinking of getting rid of those and I got these which they're a little bit bigger but the same concept I got these off Amazon these are from cran Barrel like I mentioned they are affordable glasses I just was looking for something kind of like the same style cup but I loved the lid feature and they also come with their set of straws which is nice um they're a little bit taller of a straw I want to say than the ones that I have so this is the one that I have and this it's just like a little bit taller but yeah I really liked these and obviously you can use it without the lid they have the same like beer can style top to it and I don't know how easily these wash you're probably supposed to hand wash the lids but yeah I can link them down below I thought these were perfect for like coffee obviously on the go would be great I know glass is not always great but walking smoothies like quickly running out the door and pouring just any beverage in with the lid obviously it's not spill proof but if it does Shake C the lid blocking it from spilling really excited about them but yeah if you guys have any tips on how to remove this I have Googled it don't even know maybe it's just because I've had them for four years and just at a certain point they start to do this I don't know anyways I'm going to wash these and put them in my cabinet I might have to rearrange my cabinet a little bit but yeah I will link [Music] them it is late feels like summertime here in Orlando I know you need to be better about not just grabbing sweatshirts but I go into an office every single day throughout the week and I wear like work clothes so on the weekends I tend to just be comfortable especially if I'm at home but it's 81° outside it's beautiful weather here spring is basically here and I'm in the mood for a smoothie going to make a smoothie to match the weather and to match my mood of feeling like summer so I just did a Target pickup order I needed all new smoothie ingredients I haven't made a smoothie in so long but I've just been craving it on the weekends I tend to I'm very like have my meals planned out all throughout the week but on the weekends I can kind of fall short on what I eat for lunch and I end up like snacking on a bunch of different stuff so I want to be a little bit better about like choosing healthier good for me snacks especially on the weekend so smoothie is like a great snack option so I'm going to show you what I'm going to put in my smoothies I already have spinach but I got two different types of fruit from Target I got this one it's the mixed fruit blend pineapple strawberries mango and peaches this sounded really good so I think I'm going to do this one I wanted to do like a mango pineapple Peach banana one but they were out of stock of that one and then I also got this strawberry and banana blend which like a good just like basic smoothie blend I might pull out some bananas at these maybe like mix match some spinach coconut water kind of want like a tropical is one yogurt for protein ginger for just you know feeling feeling good I love adding Ginger to my smoothies the only only thing is is like you will taste the ginger so I always mix it with kind of like pineapple mango those types of fruits really kind of pair well with that Ginger flavor next I got coconut oil and chia seeds when you are making smoothies at home with obviously fruits um they have fat soluble vitamins in them so it's important to add like a healthy fat people add avocados you can totally add avocado um I add just like the littlest bit of coconut oil you don't need a ton to have that like healthy fat to help your body like break down and absorb those fat soluble vitamins that are in the fruits that you're eating you could also do chia seeds um they have a good amount of fat in them as well as well as protein fiber so chia seeds are also a really good option too that's what I'm going to be adding into my smoothie I'm going to use my new cups that I got from Amazon with the lid so I'm excited I haven't brought out my blender in a while I think it's on it's like glass like I've had the blender for I think like 7 or 8 years but last time I used it it was making this weird noise so I'm crossing my fingers that it works today I kind of tried it the other night when I wanted a smoothie and I was going to buy ingredients I tried it with ice and water and it worked fine so we'll see if it works I'm probably in the market for a new blender so if you have any blender recommendations I do not want to spend my money on a Vitamix to be honest they're so expensive expensive I I don't even I would have to have a smoothie every single day of my life to even justify buying that but even then I probably wouldn't justify but um if you have like a smoothie or what am I saying if you have a blender recommendation please leave it in the comments preferably would like one that's kind of on the quieter side I know that's hard with blender but I would prefer I'm going to take off the tripod so you guys can see I'm going to add since I'm going to flip it over this way if you have like a standing blender that you just put everything in and you turn it on I would do it the opposite way um you want to put like the heaviest object on top so it properly like weighs down and blends just a tip maybe everyone already knows thatch [Music] going to add a little piece of Ginger I'm not going to use chia seeds today if I was probably using this Blend or like a blueberry B blend I'd probably use it not that it adds any flavor I just don't want the texture of the chia seeds in there just going to add the littlest but like that much you don't need a lot and coconut water and maybe like three ice [Music] [Laughter] cubes the flavors are so good this is delicious it is l Lally incredible so it's later I decided to wash our bed sheets and I go to turn on the dryer and the dryer is not working the knob has been weird for like a couple of months I would say it was acting weird kind of this morning but it like went back to normal it just like won't start clicking to where it's like on so you can start it if that makes sense so our bed sheets are literally wet it's 6:00 I don't expect them to dry by hanging them up so I'm about to just take our wet laundry and my dad's house is really close I was going to go to my brother's house because he's closer and finish drying my bed sheets because I don't know what else to do and I feel like it's silly to call the emergency maintenance line like it's not an emergency I just don't know another option I could go to the laundromat but I'd rather go to my dad's house and sit in his home you know because it's an option so I think I'm going to go do that just like my luck of course the dryer doesn't work and I was like oh you know what let me just decide to I'll just wash the bed sheets today so I don't have to do it tomorrow I was just doing all my laundry today so I didn't have to do it tomorrow getting ahead cuz I'm in like a productive mood and then this happens I've been like messing with it try and get it to work so I this is my only option so I'm heading to my dad's okay I hope I don't have any food in my teeth I just ate dinner I got home a little bit ago for my dad's from drying my bed sheets it is dryer so grateful that there's always an option whether it's like a family member or a laundromat close by in cases like this my dryer all of a sudden decides to stop working but the bed sheets are on the bed they're clean they're dry they're good to go I'm about to shower and get ready for bed I placed an Amazon on order last week and I got a couple things in the mail and I did get a new soft Tanner which is crazy of me to say because I've been using the same salt Tanner for over 2 and 1/2 years and it's my favorite it's an Express tan by valy body and I never thought that I would stray away but I'm running out and I saw on Instagram Burke mitcho I've been following her for so long she's like my comfort YouTuber I don't know why we're so different we're so opposites and she lives in New York just a completely different life but I just enjoy watching her I don't know sometimes it's really good to have people that you watch on YouTube where there's not this like like I just feel not like safe but I guess safe um I don't feel like I'm comparing my life to hers or like we're just I wouldn't want to live in New York I just find it so interesting her day-to-day life and things it's just she's just a great person that I don't compare myself to if that makes sense and it's always so important to watch people like that on YouTube or just follow on social media but she posted uh wearing the Bondi Sands self tanner and she looked so good her tan looked incredible so I ordered it on Amazon and I think it's going to be the self tanner that I'm going to wear for our engagement photos we're taking engagement photos for obviously for us and probably these will be the photos that we'll use for our save the dates I know we already had engagement photos taken but the photos that we got taken were actually what had happened if you haven't seen my Rosemary Beach Vlog where we got engaged and everything what had happened the day of us getting engaged is the photographer's camera wasn't working so Christian booked a photographer to photograph the actual proposal and she said that in her years of doing photography it's never happened before she tried different SD cards things like her camera was not working so that's just what had happened and we ended up taking photos the next the following day and it worked out great we got to like pick out outfits that coordinated even though we kind of coordinated anyways like the original proposal day and all of our friends we got to take some photos with our friends we all coordinated outfits I can put like a photo example which we all didn't plan this at all we all wore like black and white and we just got some great like group photos and it just turned out great and I wouldn't have it any other way we got photos of the actual proposal on an iPhone and it was just fine like I wouldn't go back and change anything um our photographer that we booked for the wedding she actually gifted us engagement photo shoot so we're going to go take engagement photos which we probably would have booked them anyway with her but um I'm so excited to work with her and have her work and have her photograph us I'm so excited she's incredible what I was saying is I wanted my tan to be a little bit more natural and a little bit more different color than not that the color self tanner that I was wearing wasn't like great or all or anything I just always had to layer it with Lux unfiltered because it never gave me like a good enough color this is actually layered with Lux unfiltered um but below this is a really nice natural looking not that this doesn't look like kind of natural is I feel like it kind of looks pretty natural on me I just wanted to experiment a little and I think I'm going to use that self Channer for the engagement photos and maybe moving forward I just don't like how it never really dries fully on my skin and the B body one that I use dries like instantly it actually dries really fast so I want to look natural too for it I don't want to look orange in the photos so experimenting with salt Tanner I got like a couple other things like those glasses and stuff but I also got these bodons bio colagen real deep masks and they have probiotics hyaluronic acid and collagen hydrating pore minimizing and Firming what's interesting about these is you're supposed to leave them on for 3 to 4 hours or you're supposed to sleep in them and I kind of wanted to test them out because I don't get any procedures done to my face I think I'm going to look into Hydro facials for the wedding but that wouldn't be for a couple of months but I just want to see if these will do anything like dramatic I obviously wouldn't do these every single night or every week but before engagement photos before like a night out or an event or something it'd be nice to use these and see if they work it's supposed to literally make your skin look like glass when you wake up so I kind of want to sleep in them but I'm also like what does Christian think in his head when I like try stuff like this you know like what will he think when I put this on and I'm like literally sleeping there yeah for optimal results use this mask as an overnight treatment or leave it on for at least 3 to 4 hours so I think I'm going to try this and see and keep you guys updated and see how it looks in the morning it came in a pretty big pack it came in with 16 masks and I think it was pretty pricey it was like 60 bucks for 16 on Amazon I link them I don't know I've heard incredible things about them so I'm really excited to try anyways I'll let you guys know I'll keep you posted I'm going to take off my jewelry I'm going to get the shower but I just wanted to share yeah I just I saw them on Tik Tok I think and I was just intrigued to see if they work and I wanted to try them before I tried them for the engagement photo just to see just to do my research anyways I'm going to get in the shower and I'm going to put this on and I guess I'll do a first impression of me putting it on but at the same time like I don't know if I want to put that on the internet if me wearing one of these masks so we'll see I just put eye drops in feel like I can't see I also have my retainer in I wear my retainer every single night I'm freak about wearing my retainer I'm going to put this on a lovely Scar from picking my face okay I don't know how I'm going to sleep in this tonight truthfully I will keep you posted I don't want to keep talking though cuz I don't want it to fall off or keep messing up I look like a completely a different person though with this on my face I don't even recognize myself in the vinder let's go to bed it's 7:23 I woke up at 6 but I just took the mask off I slept in it throughout the whole night I woke up at 1 and I realized it was at the 3 to 4 hour mark it was actually at 4 hours and I could have taken it off but I wanted to get like the full effect of like sleep sleeping with it on and my skin looks very hydrated and glowy and I feel like I don't look as tired I don't know if it has anything to do with this but at the 3 to 4 hour mark it was completely translucent like it looked like this it didn't even look like I had a mask on my face because it literally Blended in so I don't know if I kind of want to test it out and leave it on for like 3 to 4 hours and then take it off because it's not the most comfortable thing to sleep in it does kind of like morph to your face but you can still feel it on and up until it dries you kind of have to lay on your back I'm a back sleeper so I have no problem sleeping on my back it's actually how I fall asleep but if you're not a backs sleeper I feel like you would hate this but I think my skin looks like really glowy and people in the reviews say that like the moisture and the hydration and the glowi to your skin lasts for like days I don't necessarily struggle with pores anymore just because I went on Accutane and I feel like my pores kind of like I don't have oily skin anymore I feel like my skin looks really good I definitely want to try it again but this is like my first impression of this mask I think it did a pretty good job but truthfully I feel like you could only leave it on for like the 3 to 4 hours or until it turns translucent and that would be good enough truthfully I don't think you need to leave it on for for the whole entire night um but then again I don't know so I kind of want to try it just leaving it on for 3 to 4 hours what I liked about it too is that you could like walk around move around with it on it didn't move or slide off it was really cooling when I first put it on and really cooling when I was laying down but I also had the fan running and the fan was hitting my face but it just felt really nice on my skin so I can link them down below if you want to try them for yourself I believe they come in smaller packs as well so that's the update just wanted to update this morning I'm going to make my coffee I'm going to make my morning beverages then make my coffee and sit on the couch and wait for the sun to come up I was hoping that there'd be like a nice pretty Sunrise but it's super overcast outside so but anyways I'm going to make my coffee I cannot wait to have coffee [Applause] Christian and I just got home from the grocery store I'm about to start meal prepping we're doing a new meal prep recipe this week we got rotisserie chicken and we're going to do chicken salad but a like Mexican style chicken salad so I'm going to cut these up it's corn taco seasoning sour cream Greek yogurt lime black beans tomato red onion and we're going to put it over jasmine rice but you can eat it with chips whatever you want and we got some avocados that we're probably cut up day of and then you also need cilantro but that's in the fridge so this is what we're going to be doing for lunch meal prep okay it looks a little gross but does chicken salad never look like mush it's really good so I'll link the recipe down below we had it with a couple of these elote chips from Trader Joe's so good I think we're going to keep it in this big bowl I have lids for these and put it in the fridge and then throughout the week just take what we want and then I'm probably going to individually put the rice in individual containers because I'm probably going to heat the rice up and then put this over the rice and then add the avocados last so really good looks gross but I promise it's so good I just finished meal prepping and prepping the fruit for the week I feel really really accomplished that was such a great meal prep you didn't really have to prep much especially if you're not eating it over rice the only thing I had to cook was the corn and that's it and obviously the rice but if you're just eating it over chip or eating it with chips so easy just prepping and pulling apart the chicken that's timec consuming but you don't have to use like pots and pans or a ton of them might be like a new rotation in our lunch meal prep I'm always looking for new different lunch meal preps because obviously eating the same thing over and over again can get very old very quick but I realized that I never updated you guys on the magic mind since I first tried it I think it was 2 weeks ago that I shared them originally and I've had one every week since then and I love personally incorporating these into my week more so my work week how I love to take these is on Thursdays Thursdays are my long long days I wake up at 4:45 to go to the gym and I work a full day come home and then I usually put on self tanner and sit and I edit YouTube videos for 4 hours and then I shower off my tan and I go to sleep so it's a really long day for me and I am kind of locked into my computer all day my job is me sitting at my desk all day I don't move around a lot I'm just staring at my three screens getting stuff done so it's a really long day and it requires me to be focused all day and with waking up really early to work out I just feel like I need that extra boost so that's when I love incorporating these in and I noticed such a difference compared to a second coffee as opposed to this I am not so sensitive to one coffee a day but I am sensitive to two coffees I immediately feel like over stimulated kind of just worn out like hit with a bus type of feeling it's not necessarily a good feeling but when you sit at a desk all day or you have a ton of work to do sometimes when you're dragging throughout the day or you're really tired didn't get great sleep been busy you need that extra boost of caffeine or energy and this is such a great alternative even if you're trying to cut out caffeine or just cut back this is a great option I do not feel overstimulated I do feel like a burst of energy but a good healthy energy which is what they claim and I definitely feel that I'm way more focused I get way more stuff done and it's kind of a lot of the stuff that I push off on my to-do list so it's those tasks that you really just don't want to do and they're time consuming and you push them off these these help with those so I definitely recommend I feel like I'll always keep them in my fridge just really great for those long days or just those days where you need that extra boost so definitely recommend I will link them down below wanted to share again because I knew I say said I would update you guys on how I felt throughout the work week when taking them but definitely notice the difference have adaptogens it's matcha energy um good for immunity they have vitamins things like that in them so I will link them down below [Music] [Music] [Music]
