WEEKLY VLOG | PLANNER STICKER ORGANIZATION & EMILY LEY ORDER

hello welcome back to another weekly vlog [Music] it is lunchtime on monday and i am about to hop on a one-on-one coaching call but wanted to go ahead and get this vlog kicked off because the first thing i want to share in this vlog is actually top down i ordered a couple of things from emily lay on launch day their fall launch day they usually do two a year one in the spring that's for their school year sorry anyway she launches products in the spring for the school year and then in the fall for the calendar year i didn't actually buy like an actual normal emily planner but i bought a couple of other products i had some credits that were expiring and then of course i just had to hit free shipping okay so these are the three things that i bought this is what i actually went to the store for and i'm gonna flip through this it's like their new entrepreneurship planner and then i also got this notebook which i will show you and then this magnet like whiteboard big giant magnet this was the second thing so i went for this thing and was like oh i have credits i'm going to use this and then i started scrolling i pretty much anytime i go shop somewhere i want to go through every product just to make sure there's nothing else i want and so i decided i wanted this and then i was pretty close to free shipping which is how the notebook ended up in my cart but let's start with the thing i'm the most excited about which is these this entrepreneurship planner so it is an a5 size planner it's very small and very compact it does not have a year on it but you'll see i already flipped through it i couldn't resist y'all it's it's like set up for a calendar year so it's navy the cover is like just like a thick super thick card stock with this gold um embossing on it with the the name of the company you've got this like blue dot inside it belongs to then it's got a little note from emily and then you get right into it so it starts with a couple pages that are just like overarching information for your business so if you were to get one of these every single year this would potentially stay the same of course this could always change but it's got your why your ideal client your color palette your mission statement and your brand of voice and then it kind of goes into starting the year so we start with the big picture so you've got your vision for the year your word of the year which i feel like could be the same word you pick for like your personal goals or it could be something separate for your business and then it's got space for four annual goals for your business and then it's got a space to break those goals down so you've got like a little box for each of the goals and then a space to kind of break down the steps and it says record their progress month by month it's very small like the font is very small and the space to write is very small i really do wish they had done this in this size of a product um instead of this size i know that it probably would have been more expensive but honestly it feels like there's not like there's not a lot of space to write here um so then you've got looking back and looking ahead so what worked last year what didn't work ideas for alleviating pain points and ideas for new goals then you've got sort of what is your weekly and daily routine so as you go through your every week and every day what are the things you want to do every week and what are the things you want to do at the start of the day and at the end of the day then it's got a place for key dates you've got all of 12 months you've got a couple of lines for each month and then you've got a place for big ideas two pages of recurring tasks so you've got a lot like a lot of recurring tasks that you could do and then doing them every month um i wish there was a weekly version of this too that had like 52 weeks i know that it would take a whole nother page but i feel like there's definitely things in your business that you want to do every week and being able to like track that somewhere i think would be really cool then you've got your content focus so it has a place for you to put your platforms at the top and then what your focus is going to be for each of the months and then what is your what are you going to do each of the days of the week so if you had special things that you did each and every day like on mondays you post a weekend recap on tuesdays which oh my gosh i just noticed that there's a typo it doesn't have a why on tuesdays it's a bummer um what are your weekly content focuses then you've got a special project manager so it's got a page that has project items needed objective and then a place for all the tasks and you've got space for i think it's four of those oh no maybe it's only three three of those special projects then you've got a place for self-care and so it encourages you to come up with some self-care ideas to help you go through your business and then a place for your wins and you have a password tracker a contact tracker i don't know that i would really use either of those pages then you get into what i was talking about where it's kind of like a almost an annualized planner which is what's kind of holding me back from starting with this right away or waiting until january it is not dated but there are 12 months so it's got a place for the month at the top it's got a monthly layout with a sunday start then it's got two full pages of to-do lists and then two full notes pages and then you repeat that for 12 months until you get all the way to the end and after the last like set of like monthly notes pages it's this one there's like one extra bonus notes page but that's it so like that's why i feel like i want to wait till january so that these months will be like 2022 i might start filling out some of this beginning stuff now but that's that's the only thing that would be holding me back so for some of these earlier pages i do wish it was bigger and not not this size but i'm still interested in giving this a go i like um kind of some of the the thought processes behind it i like having a place for like overarching business goals and the paper feels very nice i'm not going to do a pen test in this i'm going to do it in the notebook and i'm hoping it's the same paper because i don't want to use any of these notes pages so the notebook is a like eight and a half by 11 size you can see the size differential here it's um like a normal notebook size and honestly this is just what got me to free shipping i don't know that i really need another notebook but i'm always on the hunt for coil notebooks i do like that it has the date at the top um so if you were taking notes for something specific i've been taking notes a lot more digitally now than i have on paper so that's why i'm not quite sure what i'm going to use this for yet but i am going to do a pen test because it does feel like it's the same paper as the entrepreneur one and so i want to see what that's like so we're gonna do the sharpie pen the sharpie s gel and then my favorite the paper mate flare which is the one that i hope works the best so the sharpie pen it's okay i think i just keep trying to use this pen because i bought a bunch of them for the plum paper and i just don't i don't really use them okay so this is the 10 which i don't or the 1.0 which i do not like i like the oh seven but i just have these so i'm trying to use them up um that smeared pretty quickly so that's a bummer i did even give it a second to tell you about the thickness and it's still smeared and then let's see here oh i was like about to write sharpie it's like just really bad hair like oh it didn't smear at all and i did that quickly that was nice let's see what it looks like oh wow okay well i will for sure be using my paper mate flare because you can't even see it at all and it didn't smear so great quality paper i will definitely be using my flare which is my favorite pen of all time and then the last thing i got was this monthly magnetic calendar now it is literally just a thin magnet like i've had calendars like this before where they're actually like it's thick um which shouldn't surprise me given the price but it's just literally a thin magnet um but it's also a white board and we used to have one of these for something else um i don't honestly don't know where it went i we must have lost it in the move it came with this little pen that's got a magnet and then also an eraser i'm gonna go and fill it out for september the the point of this whoa that's kind of a this is not the greatest pen well maybe i won't be filling this out for september i don't i i have other ones of these well if i go over it then it's better but that just seems like a lot of extra steps maybe if i just go slower it seems to work a little bit better anyways my plan for this is just to put it on the fridge and have it be a place for sam and i to kind of see our months at a glance that three looks really strange let's test our eraser here that's pretty good if i remember our one that we used to have did not erase very well anyways third time's the charm i um want to be able to kind of look at our month at a glance and both of us to be able to see it that way we can just i don't know there was something recently actually that sam was like what do you have going on and i know i had already told him what it was but if it's not in his ical he forgets that it exists um so just things that we're one of us are going to be not there it's easier to see on a calendar like this obviously since it's already the 13th and i'm just now getting around to september i'm not even going to really bother with everything that we did before that but it'll be nice to have the rest of this i also feel like i could see us like updating this every two weeks like maybe i should have started it on the 13th so that we could see more into it but oh well i also should have written as i go because now i have to put my hand over it so not that he's gonna forget his birthday but next sunday oh my gosh it's so soon is his birthday and then what else do we have going on i leave on the first which i'm just gonna put in here so he remembers that i'm gonna be gone that weekend that's kind of all i mean i've got work staff i've got court like accelerate your goals courses and things like that but um we have yom kippur services on wednesday but that's it and it's google cal anyway maybe this was a bad month example why this will be helpful for us but i'm gonna go stick this on the fridge hello it is tuesday during lunch and one of my favorite things that i have started over the last couple of months is prepping dinner during lunch i know i've talked about it a bunch of times but now that i'm back to working from home on tuesdays and thursdays it just really is the best it's the best to be able to do something for dinner during lunch when i have more energy than saving it for the evening when i don't have any energy and it also works out when i have dance so on thursday i just plan first have leftovers but tonight i'm planning a dinner that i can prep literally all of the ingredients right now and then i will just create my like put them all together and combine to have mine before i leave for dance and then sam can have his whenever he has a break or he's hungry for dinner so what we are making is the breakfast salad which i talked about before it is from this cookbook the 21 day sugar detox and it literally is some sort of green on the bottom we just use spinach because it is the most nutrient dense that we actually like enjoy like we don't really like kale that way like fresh and then some sort of breakfast meat i buy which is one of the things i'm gonna cook is the chicken sausage chicken breakfast sausage from trader joe's so i'm just going to literally cook all of these up i usually will put two on the salad like when i like create it together so there's enough here for six meals we definitely don't have enough spinach for six meals because i already used some in a smoothie yesterday so um but we can also just eat the sausage like with eggs we don't necessarily need it in salad form and then eggs however you like them we happen to like ours over easy that is gonna be the one thing i can't cook i'm gonna have to cook fresh i just realized that like sam's gonna have to cook his own eggs when he wants to have his salad unless he wants to eat with me at like 5 30. um and then the peanut sauce that's like the dressing so to speak of the salad and the peanut sauce again the recipe is straight out of this 21 day sugar detox cookbook but it is so simple it's literally peanut butter rice vinegar and then the recipe calls for coconut aminos because the purpose of the 21 day sugar detox is to have like cleaner ingredients and soy sauce is typically not a cleaner ingredient but man oh man our trader joe's just has not had coconut aminos in stock for what feels like weeks i've checked every time i've gone for the past couple visits and not been able to find it and i kept like putting this on the meal plan and then taking it off because i couldn't find coconut minos and finally i was just like screw it i am keeping it on this week and i'm gonna just make the peanut sauce with soy sauce soy sauce does have more flavor than coconut aminos so i'm not going to put the seasonings in it so it's those three ingredients plus some like other spices salt and pepper i'm not gonna put any of that in it at first i'm gonna just mix the other ingredients whisk it up taste it and make sure that it like tastes like normal um and then see if it needs any of the other spices or seasonings since this might be enough more so compared to the coconut aminos so that's it it's going to be super simple today in the kitchen and then super easy to whip that together for dinner tonight and we'll keep eating it as this peanut sauce lasts a lot longer than the fresh ingredients so what we'll prob what i'll probably do is put it again on the recipe or put it again put the recipe again on the meal plan in another week or two i try not to do them do recipes back to week weeks back-to-back i try to mix it up a little bit more than that so probably just eat the sausage with eggs for the rest of we'll probably have enough spinach for like each of us to have two salads and then just eat the sausage with eggs for the rest of the week and then in a week or two i will put the meal back on the meal plan for us to finish up the peanut sauce okay it is about three o'clock and i just have a little random tip or thing that i do that may help you may not but just wanted to share um so i've shared this before this is my water jug my goal is to get one and a half of these every single day so this is the end um usually it's like this when i like drink my when i'm on top of my water and i work out i i do get all my water in pretty early so now that's it i'm done well you know i'll be done at like five with my water um but now this is empty and what i used to do is just like leave it here on the counter but since i am getting home so late from dance on tuesdays and thursdays anything i can do to cut down my evening routine is helpful and one of the steps of my evening routine that in my mind is actually really important because i prefer cold water is getting this thing filled up and in the fridge the night before and so now what i've been doing and i actually do it every day not just on dance days but it stemmed from a dance day need is as soon as i'm done with it i'm gonna go ahead and fill this thing up and stick it back in the fridge to be ready to go tomorrow and then if i need extra water throughout the rest of the day which like i definitely will with dance i will just take it from the sink because i don't track beyond hitting my goal of one and a half i did it i i'm done i don't actually care how much total water i get um i would rather have this thing filled up in the fridge ready to go for tomorrow so i don't have to bother with it when i get home tonight hi it's friday i know it's been a few days and that's kind of the one of the downsides i i think to doing weekly vlogs instead of daily vlogs and that is that some days i just don't have anything to share and now i feel like this week is pretty short because i i like kind of held back a little bit monday and tuesday thinking like oh well i'll continue to share and then wednesday and thursday i just i didn't have anything personally i want to share it was a jewish holiday and so i was participating in that with sam and i just didn't pick up the camera so anyway i know that there's been a lot of debate we even talked about in last week's live about kind of the the weekly vlog versus the daily vlog situation and there are things i like about the weekly vlogs and then there's things i don't and same with the daily vlogs there's things i like about them and there's things that i don't so we're going to continue the weekly vlogs when i said that live is we will continue the weekly vlogs for now through vlogmas and then once vlogmas gets here it will be closer to a daily vlog than a weekly vlog and then i have no idea what 2022 holds there's a lot up in the air for 2022 in terms of business stuff and all kinds of things so i have a lot to figure out before then but i wanted to come on here and tell you that i'm having like a sticker uh i don't know what to call it like like i don't want to have all the stickers anymore so i mean i started using planner stickers when i got my very first what i consider grown-up planner i mean let me take that back when i used a lilly pulitzer planner in college i did use the stickers that were like in the back they had like a page of stickers as part of the lillypulter planner but i didn't really start using stickers for other stuff until i got my first erin condren planner and the first sticker shop i ever shopped with and started using for that kind of stuff was christian designs and i still love and use her stickers today well she was having a massive sale today if you missed it i am so sorry i did share about it on instagram but she it was literally for an hour where she did 40 off her sale as part of her shop reopening she closed down the shop because she was moving physical locations physical spaces she reopened for an hour well she's open no forever but like not forever you know what i mean she's open permanently but for the first hour was 40 off and part of me was like no you're not even using stickers really in your daily and the weekly is really just for memory keeping and you're only using kits and you don't know what if you're going to continue that next year like what are why are you going to go shop but on the flip side of that i kind of thought that one of the reasons i'm not using a lot of stickers is because it's overwhelming and when i'm using my daily planner it's like quick and i'm i'm planning for the day and i i'm if i had like easy access easier access to stickers i might throw one or two down but i'm not going through 10 binders to find the stickers that i need even when i like well label them even if i say wanted to go dig up a football sticker right then i've got 10 different options for football stickers and it's just too much so i thought what if i trimmed down my sticker collection to one binder and try and limit it as much as possible and then i might actually use my stickers in my daily planning if i do that so what i decided to do this is how i spent my lunch hour by the way because my evening plans i had a happy hour plans that got cancelled for today which um let me know if you can relate like if there are times this was actually not one of those times i was actually looking forward to seeing the person i had plans with but sometimes wing plans get cancelled i'm like oh well that's nice but it kind of worked out because then i was able to spend my lunch hour going through stickers and making a plan to order from chrissy and designs that's what i did so i'm gonna i'm gonna show you first what this desk looks like what my current sticker status is and what i'm gonna flip through it for you but let me just show you this is all i'm planning to keep in terms of what i'm gonna use for my daily planner i'll explain um but so what i ordered from chrissy and designs is a new binder and her new binders have a bigger spine so it's perfect because this one's exploding just a smidge and then i don't know maybe 20 sticker sheets and so it'll this this plus those will fit perfectly in that new binder let me show you what i have going on here so these are the binders that i'm just keeping to get me through memory keeping 2021 all the kits and all of the like rectangle boxes two three and four it's like quarter half in full boxes those binders i did not go through but depending on what i decided to do for memory keeping next year once i am done with this year's memory keeping i will be getting rid of those these are the empty binders that i'm not quite sure what i'm gonna do with if i'm gonna give them away or if i'm gonna keep them but these had stickers and now they no longer have stickers these two binders i still haven't decided what i'm gonna do with these are quotes so it's half box and full box quotes i love quote stickers but again it just feels so overwhelming sometimes so i have this i haven't quite determined this is what i'm keeping which i'll flip through for you in a second this over here is what i am keeping but from a memory standpoint so it's a lot of go wild stickers um my like plan camp binder for from not it was before it was playing camp with design pandemonium like this is all like memories so i'm gonna put all of this together and then put that with my memory keeping stuff this is the pile that i'm gonna get rid of is this pile over here i'm gonna go through this and like take it out of the plastic well maybe they want the plastic um but kind of organize this a little bit more in order to give this away to the patreon community and then over here i just have this is the binder that's got the extra plastic things in it um i'm hoping that my new binder that's bigger will have space for me to put those in there and then this is the celebrations collection i am from this year i am going to keep this i'm kind of mad at myself i haven't been using that so i'm going to start using it now and then we'll probably use it through the new year so i tried really hard to keep maybe one or two options for each thing that i would put into my planner i tried really hard to think about what i put in my daily planner now not like oh i wish i tracked this um and then i also i also kept some things from shops that like no longer exist or like i just really love them and i i couldn't part with them quite yet so let's look through this this is the only one that i have of this mini sheet which is why it's here in the front by itself not like with the stickers that make sense um this family time sticker from christian designs i did order a couple more that are this size because i just wanted that sticker um so those will go in the front i have a bunch of icons i think i bought the icon set from her so i've got the circles and the squares in both colorways another family time but this one's in um color for the most part i'll go when i'm done with this i'll tell you what i actually ordered from christine designs i did like icons and fun stuff in the color like the bold rainbow colorway and then i did like planning like things that would go in the hourly section that's like not like a little bit more serious in neutrals but we'll talk about that in a second um sleep in oh there's some more icons i should move those up day off bubble bath so i kept these because i do like these bubble bath stickers now for some things if i had stickers that marked it but i could get one from chrissyanne designs while she was having this massive sale and then i could just have one and and keep it simple i did that but she didn't have any bubble bath stickers so i kept these i just really like these tennis shoes i kept a lot of really vintage lily henry if y'all remember her shop i just loved her style and so i did keep a lot of that same that's what this game night one is from as well um these are the book stickers i bought to use in memory keeping that i never did these i'm keeping almost as like aspirational like in that would write down the books that she finished in her daily i don't know if that's actually gonna happen but i couldn't i couldn't part with those um i got these custom patreon stickers and then never use them so i'm excited i have them although like this is really small like i'm going to show you on a blank page in my amplify planner well i guess it does it's just if it actually kind of fits perfectly in there i just would rather i think it be a little bit bigger and i know there's some big ones but i actually would rather have like a whole page of this size um i just i don't want to waste one of those but like it is it's so tiny and small um i ordered a couple more things in this like custom font too though um cindy's handwriting a bunch of miscellaneous things same here miscellaneous things i wish there was a whole page of these morning routine is there evening routine on here i ordered some morning and evening routine stickers but they're that small one um these i got to write down this is also like dream legend um podcasts that i'm listening to who knows um i got these for moving didn't use them i thought i could also use them for when i get packages uh i don't know what i bought these for but it's like a brand new sheet so i don't want to get rid of it um this is just a page of all of the like kind of special movies and tv shows i got these also for memory keeping but they're just so cute and i i just wanted to keep this so i kept it all together it's like netflix hulu disney plus and then movies and stuff these computer stickers these computer stickers kristin didn't have any of these like just like computer icons up right now so i went ahead and kept these plan relax and then a bunch i mean i have a ton of film edit and upload i couldn't justify like getting rid of these the film ones i will for sure use but not even like i won't even use these anymore because i this is when i would film one video at a time and i will probably use more like these where i'll do like film and then draw an arrow in my planner and then the edit ones i don't really need because i do have an editor now but i couldn't like get rid of all of these i could also use the edit stickers um you know after she's done editing the actual footage i go through and like make the thumbnail do the description box at the time stamps all those kinds of things and i could just call that editing right now i call it prep and there's not a sticker for that so i could just use the edit stickers but i know that it's like i'm editing all the other stuff about the video um then i have these harry potter stickers i forget where these came from somebody sent these to me a long time ago and then some like movie night type stickers these tickets i love these for broadway shows um these movie stickers or tv stickers for when we watch tv shows then we get to the sports i did keep a lot more sports stickers and i probably needed but i do i want to put sports back into my planner um so we've got football here cowboy stickers and then these like little football these chrissy indesign ones these game day ones from lily henry a bunch of basketballs so we've got lily henry basketballs i think these are old chrissy and designs and then planner kate back here um basketballs more football more football okay i guess i well that's a lot of football but that there's a lot of football i watch a lot of football okay um because sometimes i'm marking my own team and then sometimes i actually watch other teams like i watch other good thursday night sunday night monday night football games um reading i feel like this tidy up one should be back at the beginning date night stickers these are like specific sam and i stickers that we've had designed then travel these suitcases i kept because kristin didn't have any suitcases i did check although i love these lily henry suitcases um i kept this page because i like the trains for when we do take trains um and then i kept these these are like certain places like paris london and then these flag stickers and then that's it the big thing i got rid of in travel if you used to watch me like my actual plan with me videos i used to have all those like airplane ticket stickers and like why does all the airplane and phone need to be in my planner it doesn't um and then food stuff so i have these for like meal planning or eating out meal prep meal plan i just been to julie henry and then i love just these i think these are cute and classic and that's it so let's talk about now what i ordered from kristen okay i should have taken a screenshot of my cart before i ordered because when you go to like the order page it doesn't have the pictures of the sticker so like i feel like popping up the screenshot of what i ordered is like not fun so let me just tell you what it is that i ordered um i will leave her website linked down below it is an affiliate link if you ever go order from her website fyi i'm an affiliate for her i've been shopping there for years and years um if you if anything i say you cannot find let me know and i can send you like the direct link for what it is that i purchased so i got that custom font script i got it to say one on one i really wanted it to say coaching call but it was one character too long but i wanted something to mark when i have like my one-on-one coaching calls then i got another custom header but this one was on like a rectangle that says the word tomorrow if you've been watching my daily plan with me you know that that's one of the biggest things i want in a daily planner is for it to say tomorrow and most of them don't the only thing i found that does that are the like standing set like alone notepads and so i got a header that says tomorrow i also got custom headers that are kind of in the mindset for my amplify planner that i'm gonna try and you got to pick three different words because it was three different columns and that's what it was called customize headers and i did to do for that section where i cover up work priorities if you watch my most recent plan with me video with the amplify planner you know i'm talking about um the i got tomorrow and then i got to post for like social media stuff i got some airplane icons you saw i have a bunch of suitcases but now that i'm not using those airplane tickets i wanted some airplane icons i got some meal prep the ones i have are cute but i wanted some monochrome ones i got more football event stickers i should have taken those out of my cart i clearly don't need any more football stickers like i said i got evening routine and morning routine and those are in like the little small pages like this i got a small one like this too that says workout i would have loved to get a big sheet of all three of those i mean those are things i put in my planner basically every day and so my thought process was like if i only have one binder right and it's sitting here while i plan my day i could almost organize the stickers and like the order that they would actually happen right so i have the morning routine i'd have the workout and i could just like stick those down every day and it like would look nice because it's a sticker i don't know we'll see um then i got the bundle of the little mini sheets in the icons and all the different colors i just love some of those icons and she didn't have full sheets of them i was going to try to avoid samplers and things like that because i know that there's probably icons on those sheets that i won't use but there were definitely some that i had never seen before that i thought were super cute then i got the music note stickers i did used to have these but i like couldn't find them when i was going through my stickers um i like the music notes for like when we go to the piano bar when we go to a musical or something like that i got more of the relaxed stickers because i only had so many and i was clearly missing some certain colors so i got some more of those i got um oh i have the binder i was like what is that the new binder that i got i got some little coffee cup doodles just again in the monochrome i got some more so she didn't have any like computer icons which is why i kept those but she had some computer event type stickers so i decided to get those i got some book stickers i got some game night stickers i did keep those lily henry ones but i got some of the monochrome game night stickers i got some little planners little spiral planner doodles um i got a treat yourself sampler from that's in cindy's handwriting that's got some like happy hour lunch date dinner date that i thought was really cute i got some more little utensils that i can use for to mark when we go out to eat and then i got a work script sampler so it just says work so if i want to like mark in my planner just work and i don't want to actually like mark what it is i thought that those would be good so that is my order i'll share i share it again when it comes in but i thought that it would be helpful to hear what i kept what i bought and again the plan is to just move all of this plus the order into that new bigger binder and this is gonna sit with me and i'm gonna try this for my daily planning hello it is saturday morning and i am getting ready for the day of a very busy day ahead um lots of things so first up is the live round of accelerator goals i have that at 11 i actually had when i started getting ready i started re-watching the last live session i have all my notes like all the things that i say in the course and the notes of the powerpoint but i l there are some like examples like it'll say like blah blah example or blah blah story and i like re-listening to them the day of just like make sure they're all fresh from my mind so while i get ready i have just been re-listening to accelerate your goals but i had something else i wanted to tell you about on the vlog that i did this morning that i just wanted to make sure i mentioned and that is i renewed my tsa pre-check so if you travel and you ever frequent major airports now if you live if you travel regularly but like your normal go-to airport is a small airport and waiting for security is never really an issue um then maybe it's not as important but as somebody who leaves from big airports often there can regularly be like long tsa precheck lines tsa lines if you don't have tsa pre-check but honestly for me the lines are part of it getting to the airport like not having to worry and rush is part of it but the other big part of it is not having to take my laptop out not having to take liquids out and not having to take my shoes off it is just so nice to just like you go in put your bag on the thing and then you walk through the metal detector and you're done it's just fast and easy and i just i love it and so sam and i got tsa pre-check right after we started dating we went together and got it um and it only lasts for five years i say only i mean it's 85 bucks for five years and we always said that before we renewed it we would go get global entry because that is like the tsa pre-check but for the international tier and so you it helps when you're traveling internationally and we just don't feel like dealing with global entry right now we still will go get it eventually um but we're probably not traveling internationally for at least a year so we figured let's go ahead and get tsa precheck now or renew it because it was so easy to renew all i had to do was like update like confirm my identity update that i haven't been convicted of like a felony or anything since i applied and got it and then pay the next 85 so i went ahead and did that this morning and i just wanted to i wanted to bring it up because i wanted to tell you if you have been on the fence if you've thought about tsa pre-check and you just haven't been sure if it's something that you would use i highly recommend it is it's the best tcp track is just the best so uh that is one of the things i checked off my list this morning accelerate your goals and then sam and i are going this afternoon to this like festival in festivals probably not the right word it feels very like hunchback that's what i think of when i think of the word festival um it's but i think that's what they're calling it it's in times square and it's actually being it was actually put on by a friend of ours the guy who emceed our engagement video if you watch the engagement video he was the emcee at that event um but he now works for playbill and they put on this event called curtains up that's like to celebrate broadway being back this week which is just now i feel like new york is back like the mayor has been saying like new york is back for months now that broadway is back i really feel like new york is back and so we're gonna go to that event we're also gonna go buy broadway tickets while we're in times square um we find that we save on fees processing fees by buying them in person at the box office rather than buying them online so we're gonna go buy our first broadway tickets um once we officially have them in their hands i will share with you what show we are gonna go see first is our first show back um but we are excited to finally go back and see a show we're gonna go the day i think after our engagement bursary because i danced the night of our engagement first three two years engaged so we're gonna go to our friend brian's like the broadway fest there's like there's a bunch of different things there's like a talk and then there's performances and there's just all kinds of things and then tonight we're going to dinner to celebrate sam's birthday his birthday is actually tomorrow but he wanted to do it's a it's a milestone he's also turning 30. um he wanted to do a like a more kind of a nice a more intimate dinner so it's just a couple of people it's literally like my my bridesmaid and her fiance his groomsmen and his girlfriend and then the couple whose wedding we went to in china so like very close friends um we're going to a nice dinner down in chinatown sam loves chinese food i feel like i've mentioned that before he studied abroad in china speaks mandarin love chinese food so that's what we're doing for dinner tonight um just us and then tomorrow we're doing a like a picnic in central park where we've invited like the next like other friends that are still close friends and still not like a massive thing um for but we're doing it outside that event outside for like more safety purposes although bars and restaurants here require vaccines to get inside so it actually probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal to do like a an indoor like we thought about doing like a bar thing for his birthday but this is what he wanted he would rather be outside tomorrow and yeah so that's that's the rest of our weekend and then just celebrate sam and hang out with him and and he uh i'm just so excited i know one of you asked me a long time ago when i was getting stampers birthday and i told you i couldn't tell you i'm not gonna tell you right now because he is still in the apartment i don't want him to hear me uh but i will tell y'all maybe next week on the live after he's already gotten it but i'm excited and it's just gonna be a really nice weekend so i'm gonna go ahead and close out this vlog so i can go enjoy the rest of the weekend celebrating son's birthday it's a very odd hairstyle to be closing out the vlog with um but that is gonna be it if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new here please click that subscribe button i upload new videos every
