### **Exploring Perfume Collections: A Scented Journey**

The world of fragrances is a fascinating one, especially when shared with someone who appreciates the nuances as much as oneself. In this particular exploration, the focus was on comparing and ranking perfume collections—specifically, how they align (or don't) between two individuals.

**Hayden's Top Picks:**

1. **Old Factory New York 2023:** A fig-based scent that both parties adore. Its fresh, green aroma evokes imagery of a garden, making it a classic favorite.

2. **Glossier You:** Surprisingly low on the list due to its perceived "boring" nature. However, it's noted for its similarity to another fragrance with peppercorn undertones.

**Personal Favorites:**

1. **Blackberry & Bay by Joe Malone:** A long-standing favorite, cherished for its unique blend that hints at a musky, warm scent.

2. **Rhubarb & Sea Salt:** A divisive choice, disliked by Hayden but beloved for its fresh, rhubarb-forward aroma.

The exercise highlighted the subjective nature of fragrance preferences, with only one shared top pick—a testament to the diversity in olfactory experiences.

### ** Literary Delights: A Bookish Banter**

Engaging in literary discussions is a delightful pastime, especially when it involves uncovering unexpected twists. The conversation turned to *One for My Enemy*, a YA fantasy novel filled with complex relationships and plot turns.

**Key Highlights:**

- **Forbidden Romances:** The narrative weaves multiple romantic subplots, adding depth and intrigue.

- **Curtains Drawn:** A major plot twist involving forbidden love within warring families left the discussion buzzing with anticipation.

The enthusiasm for the book was palpable, underscoring the joy of discovering stories that challenge expectations and deliver emotional depth.

### **Whimsical Interludes: Cats and Comfort Food**

No day is complete without a touch of humor and relatable moments. The lighter side of life came through in anecdotes about pet mishaps and culinary indulgences.

**Feline Follies:**

- **Bingy's Digestive Dilemma:** A kitten with runny stools led to some amusing, if slightly messy, housekeeping adventures. The playful tone suggested that while cleaning up after pets isn't ideal, it's a quirky part of pet ownership.

**Gastronomic Joys:**

- **Soul Food Sunday:** Comforting meals like fried chicken and waffles were celebrated, with a brief lament over the absence of visual documentation—a common struggle among food enthusiasts.

---

### **Reflections on Parenthood and Content Creation**

Parenthood was humorously contrasted with pet ownership, highlighting readiness for future challenges. The conversation also touched on content creation—balancing work commitments with creative projects.

**Content Creators' Struggles:**

- **Time Management:** Juggling filming schedules and other tasks was acknowledged as a challenge but viewed with excitement for the creative output it promises.

### **Conclusion: A Blend of Scent, Story, and Life**

The day offered a mix of sensory exploration, literary engagement, and lighthearted moments. From sharing perfume preferences to discussing books and enjoying meals, each aspect contributed to a rich tapestry of experiences. It's a reminder that life's simple pleasures—be it a favorite scent, a captivating story, or a playful pet—are what make days truly special.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello welcome back to my channel I am super excited to share this Vlog with you today it is a fun one where I talk about perfume and books obviously before I get into it I wanted to tell you a little bit about incog because they're running an incredible deal right now and it's something that is really near and dear to my heart as someone who has suffered from identity theft recently so earlier this year my personal identity was stolen someone tried to open up an account in my name let me just tell you the nightmare that was to try to get off of my credit report I had to go to the police I had to call up the account holder I guess or not the account holder but like the people who um held the account it was it was a nightmare it took me like 3 weeks to try to attempt to get that off my credit report it did eventually work I was just thinking to myself like how does this happen and how can I avoid this in the future I didn't really know where to turn Beyond just getting like a freeze on my credit when incog reached out to me I want to say last year at this point I was like oh wow so like basically people just have my public information online and they could just find it anytime they want like that is absolutely terrifying in the US especially we have these things called people search sites someone can go on this site and find so much information about you your license plate number your address like things that you wouldn't think would be publicly available but just are like people can find this stuff the idea of like trying to get all of this information taken down is just so daunting and when AOG reached out and told me what they did I was like this is literally exactly what I need this is exactly what I been looking for I knew I had to try it for myself and I've have been so impressed over the past year of using incog basically incog handles removal requests on websites like this and they are constantly working on your behalf so let's say your information gets posted on a website it does get taken down but it gets reposted like a month or two later and cogy is constantly working to get these things taken down all you have to do is create an account and Grant them the right to work on your behalf the whole process is automated and with a yearly subscription feel really safe knowing that my personal information isn't being used and abused according to the 2022 annual data breach report by the identity theft Resource Center number of victims has gone up nearly 41.5% since 2021 don't be one of them the first 100 people to use code Chandler and click the link in my description will get 60% off of incog thanks to incog for sponsoring this portion of today's video again I'm so excited to share this Vlog with youall let's get into it how are we doing today Hayden we're doing all right I'm back in the gym oh yeah he started that back up I basically I didn't allow him or myself to go anywhere during the like two weeks that we were doing IVF stuff cuz I was like if we get sick this is over this is over you didn't allow because that makes it seem like I was grounded I'm in charge of you no I also made the choice myself to not go anywhere to be safe for a fertility journey I have my surgery on Wednesday Today is Monday and I am feeling phenomenal thank you so much for asking didn't expect to feel this good quickly as I did I felt good about day three and I'm just it's it's up it's up uphill all uphill from here not looking forward to the period that's coming also not this hair she greasy she greased but feeling good and I just wanted to pop in and say hey and start off this Vlog you know what I mean let you know how things are going guess this is the start huh start of the Vlog cuz it's Monday it's a Monday and this is actually going to be the last weekly Vlog of the year so how nuts is that really yeah well here's the thing we got so much filmed content for all of November and then for December you're getting a lot of daily vlogs so no more weeklies oh okay dailies yeah and I think I'll probably film some of those in November it's a secret you didn't hear that from me but that's what I'm going to be doing excited to be here and excited to like actually be proactive I my attention last week when I started the IVF Vlog was to make it just like a regular Vlog with like some IVF updates that didn't happen because I was like in pain and not vibing and so I was just like you know what we're making this an IVF Vlog but we're back at it doing fun things I don't know what I'm going to read this week I think I'm going to read the stuff I was supposed to read last week which I think is going to be one for my enemy by All of You Blake and I also might do 9th house reread which may or may not be difficult because Hayden's reading it for a video you don't want to give away I'm not telling you what the video is but he's reading 9th house too I don't know what nth house is but it's a fantasy book well I'm not reading it yet so you you can get after it if you want okay yeah will maybe but also why is that going to be hard you can share a book you think I was going to like read with my eyes you asked if I had any of these books physically yeah that was for a different purpose oh just to hold them up yeah you're going to get audio books for all these I have credit set up not to give away what we're doing but that's okay I'm going to cut this out I do forget Hayden's editing these now anyway no don't edit that out give people a little sprinkle at what's to come no I think they're going to see that video before this one anyway does matter hello I guess that's fair um yeah I'm kind of in a fantasy mood I've been in a fantasy mood yeah I'm being forced to read all these historical romances for a list video that I'm doing in December honestly y'all I'm just hyped for December I'm really just glad to be back I think that's like what I want to reiterate is that while I have been making things I just haven't felt like me for a really long time I've just been like so caught up in all this like IVF and now that we're like kind of on the tail end of the like hard part I mean we'll see what the hard part is what's the hard part you know I am feeling like myself again and I'm like you know what back do it CU I was stuck in bed and I like didn't feel well enough to read a vlog to do all like the that I needed to do and so I kind of gave up on posting in October which I'm sure you could tell but November December it's a different game it's a different game and I'm here for it question yeah you said that you were in a fantasy mood and if I recall correctly you previously asked people fantasy book you should read did you not get an answer from that or did you never actually ask people no I was just asking you I wasn't going to ask people I thought you asked me you were also asking people you know I don't give a what the people say my answer even you didn't have one which is about the most hidden thing possible I haven't totally given up on the whole wheal of time slash way of Kings thing but kind of I have cuz I just don't really have the time for that anymore not that I have a time crunch but that like November and December coming they're my two favorite months of the year because I was born in November uh it's when it starts getting cold in Texas and then December's Christmas also November's Christmas too have Christmas in your heart I mean if I wasn't here October would be Christmas will mentioned that I did move off the timeline a little bit for Christmas decor the first weekend of November instead of the second week well here's the thing it's like the second weekend is my birthday so we're going to be celebrating is the first weekend of November the one that has November 1st in it no it does not okay it is not it has like the fourth and the and the fifth of November so like it's like it's it's basically December at that point and I am so excited to Vlog that that'll be like a whole daily Vlog as me DEC reading probably just the tree frankly cuz that's going to take forever but did some ornaments today off Amazon I did find some okay yeah Brown ornaments I've been looking for brown ornaments Brown I have made the like conscious executive decision to like not buy a bunch of for this holiday season I have a bunch of stuff I want to switch things up but like not spent a lot of money so I got some cheap ribbon that I like bought some really cheap brown and ball ornaments that I'm going to mix in with the stuff I already have and it's going to be fabulous we're doing like a cozy Christmas Vibe oh I did I did buy some at Target Brown Christmas but not a ton just a couple throw pillows you know girly things it was my first day feeling recovered and I was like I need to go to Target and I did and I money anyway yeah you did walk for like 10 whole minutes I'm going to Target capitalism really stops for no one I think is what we're finding I am going to find my way back home though because I need to do some reading for a patreon vlog I'm excited about it also I had a really good idea for a December patreon video and I think you are not already subscribed you're going to want to subscribe in the month of December because I have something good planned that's not just a regular reading Vlog okay it's going to be a really long video you're going to want to be there you're going to want to be there for it so on that note I'm going to go and I will update you once I start a book all right y'all I am back home obviously and home for a couple hours I got a couple of like fun shipments SL packages that I thought I could show you and I also got that in the last Vlog like I was saying I was meaning to make that V Vlog like a regular one a regular reading Vlog didn't happen so I didn't get to do the book haul that I wanted to do in that video so I do a little unboxing of the things that I got and a little book haul for you hopefully this is exciting I love mail and I love presents first up I'll show you the books that I got and actually I think I talked about these a little bit in the video where I talked about my most not most anticipated but like my fall TBR but I got Catcher by Cassandra CLA got this on Amazon actually I got all these books on Amazon and this one is like Cassandra cla's I guess adult fantasy debut I I probably didn't need a physical copy of it I feel like I should have listened to the audio book before deciding to do that but at the same time I actually enjoy physically reading Sandra cla's books and I am excited to give this one a go though I did just see a review from Monty if you don't follow Monty don't know what the you're doing but I saw a review from Monty on a good reads that was not blistering but definitely I feel like he and I tend to share similar opinions and feelings on books so we'll see how this goes these two books here Once Upon A Broken Heart And The Ballad of Never After I think I'm going to Vlog this series for my patreon I think it's going to be like the second patreon exclusive Vlog for the month of October so if you want to see that subcribe to patreon these ones are ya fantasy which I tend to like not have the best of luck with but also I am kind of back in my y fantasy era like it's been exciting me like interesting me so I figured not pick these up and also there for a video where I read y'all's favorite books of 2023 so books I feel like I haven't purchased books in a while I am looking at a couple of like book of the month books in front of me but again I didn't purchase these I don't have enough battery let's let's do my two packages for context after you go through a major surgery that you've never undergone I say it's a it was not a major surgery after undergoing any surgery I feel like you deserve a little treat I just think you do whether that's a food you enjoy or presents or whatever and I decided to treat myself to some things so I placed a Sephora order and I also was kind of on the hunt for a new fragrance even though I definitely have way too many I am going to do a fragrance collection in this video by the way I decided I was going to get some samples of things that I keep seeing on fragrance talk I feel like I'm on Niche SL like Indie fragrance talk I got sucked in but instead of buying a full bottle of something without knowing what it smells like I decided to buy a bunch of samples so I'll show you those first I guess purchased from two different websites lucky scent and scent s split I think thus far I prefer lucky scent the the prices tend to be better and they have a very similar selection if not better selection than scent split wow they're also tiny I mean I guess I probably should have expected that the only bummer I would say for all of the websites is that the cheap like $4 to5 samples they don't have atomizers attached which is kind of annoying I don't know why that is is it like really that much more expensive to send a little thing with atomizers I'm not really sure but I bought I bought a lot of fragrance I can already smell them in here I don't think any of these like have broken but I can smell already okay wow so this is like the one that I was like really after I got one for me and my sister it's the jardini de Tuscana Bianco latte like everybody talks about Bianca latte I can smell it through the packaging it's very vanilla I I'll I'll give you the scent rundowns whenever I wear them I think like what I'm going to do in this Vlog is try different fragrance every day but these are supposed to be really gourmont I was looking for a vanilla mostly but I didn't know which one I wanted so I got these one for me one for my sister I also got an mfk perfume this is aqua media that one I can't really smell as well through the uh packaging it's kind of like an aquatic scent perfumed Marley this is sanod which I smelled yesterday in person and I don't know that I love it so I'm glad I got like a little sample of it oh another jardini Tuscana this is Bora Bora like I do like a tropical scent let me do that I got witti and black one and black two I don't know where black two is but it's around here somewhere and these were described as being like really sensual and you know sometimes a Girl Wants To Be sensual vilhm perfumery purple f I a fig first and foremost I love fig perfumes essential perfumes or perfumes fig infusion another fig one to try for me I got oh grease shell everyone talks about this and I literally I don't know anything about it it sounds it sounds gross and the bottle looks gross but everyone says It's amazing jardini Gabby Chic I don't know why I keep smelling them because they all smell like the same a few if that makes sense I think one of these leaked a little bit I don't know which one oh Amo love Tu Bros I also like tuberos which is like kind of a I want to say uncommon note in perfume but I think it's a note that a lot of people don't like and I like their perfume de Marley this is Alter which is like their newest perfume and this one smells a little vanilla but it's very masculine I think it is like named it men Acro bake which is supposed to smell like croissants Santa Maria Nolla Rosa gardinia cologne I like gardinia and the packaging was pretty like on the website of the full bottle of perfume another mfk in Grand suar the Woody and black too okay cool I think I got everything that I ordered anyway let's let's look at the Sephora order I feel like it's more Visual and more exciting to look at also I'm realizing that like the scent profiles of the perfumes I I bought not similar like there's a bunch of different stuff I mean I like a bunch of different stuff we've got Gourmand vanillas fig we've got fruity we've got white floral it's it's a mess I really don't know what I need next I think the answer is nothing I wanted to try some stuff so you know I got two perfume samples for free I got Aqua Dee which I I know I like and then raw laor and romance which I also know I like and these ones actually have the atomizer I don't know why they couldn't just give me the atomizer for the other one and I know that that's like I guess technically more liquid and this is much cheaper than this but you know I only got three things from Sephora I also had a $10 off coupon so all this stuff was like 50 bucks but I got the power 28 make waves mascara I have heard Jessica Jessica Brun talk about this a lot I think it's a great mascara I like the packaging I think the packaging on this is super cute and I never buy nice mascara so I was like okay let's just do it I also got the like viral uh pale girl lip liner which I'm really excited about it's called stiner suede it's supposed to be an amazing color if you are really pale and everything looks orangey on you which hello everything looks orangey on me though this is kind of an orangey um lipstick but I'll try this tomorrow and let you know if I think it's worth it for an actually pale girl I feel like most of the people I seen on Tik Tok are like for the pale girls I'm like probably like the third or fourth Foundation shade like which is fine I'm not saying you're not pale but like I'm like shade one or like. five in Foundation like is this going to look good on me we'll see I also treated myself to a little eyeshadow palette I really really wanted the new Natasha denona I need a nude palette so pretty I didn't really want to spend that kind of money and it is just like kind of bulky realized I don't have any good eyeshadow palettes really to travel with which I guess doesn't really matter but with the holidays coming up I know I'm going to be traveling and I just likeed the idea of having like a compact it also this opens like a Natasha denona palette so it's almost like a Natasha denona palette but it's Anastasia Sultry and I really liked this because this just reminded me of high school in a sense I was really into the Urban Decay Naked Palette obviously like everybody else this like has a lot of the same tones it has like a good mix of warm and cool tones pretty shimmers down the center this just seems like something I'm going to love and I surprisingly don't have a lot of this already I do have the Natasha denona Glam palette but that's a little cooler and the tones are just a little different it's like the shimmers in that palette are really pinky really really bronzy and this one I don't know it's just different I like the color in the middle maybe I'll experiment with this tomorrow but I also think this is going to be so nice to travel with so I'm very pleased I think she's cute and I feel like this is overall pretty great day also uh I got some bstock Boston clogs originally in the wrong size by the way um and those came in and I'm pleased if you have normal sized feet I'd recommend getting the regular wide width also sized up so they would look normal I feel like when I got my normal size in the narrow width it just didn't look right so I'm definitely get like the bigger ones anyway that's it for me I'll come back when I have more to say but also my camera battery is dying so fall over Hello friends happy Thursday it's been a second since we last talked very many reasons I will say on Tuesday I thought that I might have a blood clot in my leg so I did go to the emergency room I don't have a blood clot but I was a little worried about it so I was like all right just not really the vibe to film today and also we were like getting like IVF news and I just like didn't really want to film and so I didn't then yesterday I was really focused on posting a vlog for patreon and making sure that this Sunday week 12 that's the Vlog that's going up this Sunday uh that that Vlog was sent off to the sponsor so you know I was a very busy little bee I'm less busy today and so I thought I could take you along with me and we could just chat because I have book stuff to talk about and uh just general life stuff I suppose so I'm putting on my sunscreen and I am going to do my makeup I am a little bit upset because I cannot find that lip liner and I can confirm it's actually really fantastic if you are pale I don't really have a lot of like natural pigment to my lips I feel like it's coming off I have more pigment in this video that I really do my lips are really really pale in real life liner really is nice like it's a really good nude I don't know if I'd call it a my lips but better color because again my lips um they don't really have color but it is really flattering and it is not super orangey so I would recommend it if you're a pill person honestly it's not very expensive either I think it was like 13 bucks so I need to repurchase it I can repurchase it I really am hoping that the cats didn't run away with it and that I misplaced it but like that's a big F that is a big freaking F anyway let's talk about one for my enemy by oliv Lake came out weird you know what I mean this book is about our to characters who I can't remember the name of because frankly I started this book a couple weeks ago and I'm only just now picking it back up for this video but it's about our heroin and our hero she is the daughter of Baba Yaga a witch and she is just trying to live her life just trying to Vibe she is in college and she is the youngest of Seven Sisters I believe we're all kind of like overprotective and just like not letting her live her life in the way that she wants and then we have our hero who is trying to kind of like Avenge the not murder of his brother cuz his brother's not dead but his brother is in like a drug induced like magical coma because one of the older sisters of the heroine put a curse on the brother because I guess he was like trying to encroach on the lady witch Dynasty's like uh territory or like business I suppose they sell drugs to witches and I guess now they're trying to sell drugs to humans I guess the dudes were trying to encroach their you know male witch family so now the hero is like all right I guess I got to infiltrate that family I guess just try to figure out kind of what's going on there and like if they can get to the bottom of like the drugs that they're selling or whatever to get revenge and he comes across the youngest witch sister it's not his intention to like use her necessarily but I'm sure that's what's going to happen but they're going to fall in love and it's going to be going to be interesting I will say like the setting and the vibe of this book's very different than anything I've read very different but it's not really what I was expecting the book is set in New York there is this sort of like Urban SL fantasy setting so like kind of a little bit like Mortal instrumenty in that way but it's an older age demographic I think the heroin's like 21 or something like that and uh yeah I don't know it's it's interesting it's intriguing I want to know if this is going to be really romantic or if it's going to be more on the fantasy side cuz I'm only like 20 is% in so you know plenty of time for things to develop and things to change but thus far I am intrigued I am presently putting on makeup if you're curious as to why I mean I like to look decent most days if I can I am going to grab lunch by myself cuz Hayden is going to a team lunch with the people that he works with need to get myself lunch but I also want to go to Target and look at like t-shirts I decided to sign hien an ie up for a photo shoot which I'm actually really looking forward to the second shooter from our wedding uh I super super talented and we're doing this like kind of like casual shoot in a studio and she definitely left it up to me in terms of like what I wanted the vibe to be it's a mini session by the way so it's not like hours and hours like 20 minutes but I am looking to get just some like nice pictures of Hayden and I I mean got my sister to take pictures for our anniversary that I think turned out really really well but it would be nice to have someone who could like guide us through different like poses almost just get like kind of a different look and I also love creatives like I love to support people whose art I think is really cool and so way to do that is like doing art with them you know what I mean like doing pictures and I'm looking forward to it but I initially thought that we were going to dress up a little bit and we were going to do something fancy but honestly just with the way this year has gone and with like sort of where we're at in our lives I kind of like the idea of sort of like a stripped back casual shoot and I've seen stripped back casual shoots by this photographer before as well and she does a really great job I was going to go and look for like a t-shirt or like maybe a blouse I'm not really sure um a Target and see if I can find something I just don't feel like the selection of uh t-shirts I have right now really works for what I'm I'm going for like something a little bit a little bit looser I do have like ribbed kind of figure hugging T-shirts from Target that I love and swear by but I just I'm going for something a little bit more casual I think that or adversely like a casual blouse if that makes sense um Hayden's going to be wearing a deep green t-shirt from uni it's got like slightly longer arms and it's like a more structured material so it's not like so so so casual I just like want a shirt that's going to complement it maybe I could use these for like Christmas pictures or something not that we like send out cards or anything but I like documenting things through pictures that's like one of my I don't to say Love Languages but I just find that you know especially like with our parents Generations we just don't have like pictures of our parents kind of like as they were growing up and like as their families were changing and growing like I would love to have a ton of pictures of like my mom and dad and me and my sister over the years and we have some but like not an every year thing to see how things are changing and I really like prioritize that and I want to prioritize that when my kid is born I know it's obviously easier said than done cuz kids are you know hard to take pictures of but yeah I'm just trying to look at that president now and I don't know it's just nice to have pictures so I am looking forward to it I think it's almost noon which is perfect cuz I go grab lunch and then head over to Target and then for the rest of the day I am going to be this book I have a book to read for the next patreon exclusive Vlog which is going to be me reading that um curse for a broken heart or whatever I don't remember the name of the book but that like ya Trilogy that I hauled for y'all I'm going to be reading those for patreon so I'm going to start that and then I also want to start the KU Vlog that I'm doing next week I feel like I'm finally kind of getting back into the swing of things in terms of posting regularly my November schedule uh it just happened to work out this way but I think I'm going to be posting three videos a week again which would be so so fun I'm not holding myself to that third video but a lot of them are like sit Downs that don't take you know tons of time or like a ton of reading to do so it would be nice to be able to post that often and then for December I'm going to be posting every single day so there's a lot of content coming for me and I'm just excited to like get back into the swing of things in my favorite time of the year I told yall that November December are my favorite times and yeah I'm just like I'm ecstatic I'm so excited I was actually thinking about it today I was like like maybe I should y'all I did not see that zit oh that's horrible okay if I didn't notice it but before maybe we could just pretend it doesn't exist right I was thinking to myself like okay I need a schedule this week when I'm putting my Halloween decor away in anticipation for Christmas and then I realized Halloween's next week so a little premature on that I'll put Halloween stuff away probably like nober 1st um I just don't want to have to like put things away and decorate in the same day I mean obviously I all this is up to me but I just want to make sure that I have like time between decorating I'll come back let you know how my target trip went and I'll let you know um how one for my eneme is as I continue to read it all right friend friends hello it is 9:00 I'm actually about to go shower get this hair clean and beautiful for photo shoot tomorrow but I wanted to pop in and talk a little bit about one for my enemy I know I said earlier I was 20% in I was actually 50 pages in and now I am 100 pages in and things have happened so this book's about our two main characters Sasha and Lev okay I I forgot their names in the last clip I was trying to explain what this book is but Sasha and Lev are having a playful banter relationship after he gets her number at that bar and he is you know going to use her eventually but he's not quite there yet he's just trying to get into her good graces they know each other are witches by the way it's not like they're completely unaware of their identities but like they don't know or she doesn't know that he is part of the something family the federov family so we've got that the interesting thing is that the eldest sister who is like kind of controlling of Sasha is uh also in love with one of the federov brothers the one that's in the coma I just the the major Cliffhanger just happened not Cliffhanger but like major shock and awe thing happened I'm not going to spoil it cuz like I'm not spoiling this book so you can read it for yourself but I'm intrigued I I didn't realize that it was going to be kind of like a forbidden Romeo Juliet situation with more than just the main people I mean now that there's a lot of main characters I guess is what I'm saying and I was surprised there were multiple romantic relationships being formed here I for one I'm into that um I do I think I actually am intrigued more by the Maria SL um what's his name I don't know whatever this man's name is the other dude dimma no dimma yeah Mario dimma that's interesting to me more so than Sasha and L although I do like Sasha and Love's text conversations they feel would say true to life and I like that and it got me thinking when I write my own book I want to do that too I want to put some good text conversations in there so I'm interested I'm intrigued we also get some more background on like Baga family why the antina family the the female witches why they sell uh illicit drugs illegal drugs and why the other family is like kind of after them for doing this and like wants to do it themselves so I liked to the background I feel like I'm I'm finally into the story and like I finally understand what's going on and I'm liking it it's fun I like uh all of if he likes writing it is a little like pretentious but such as such as fantasy sometimes you know and I'm not not super upset about it I am upset at how small the font in this book is though uh reading in here it feels like I'm reading in a cave it's not that dark in my office but like the the small font has me squinting so don't love that but I I am enjoying this book quite a bit in terms of life things we had dinner at home tonight which was quite delightful um I also am reading Once Upon A Broken Heart 20% in hoping to get 50% into this one tonight I'm also trying to get into watch your mouth by candy Steiner for KU Vlog next week so feel like kind of on top of my reading for once in my life and I'm feeling really good about it like very very good about it I'm excited for just like this weekend and uh hanging out with y'all it's going to be like a reading heavy Vlog I think I think I'm just going to be hanging out reading some books having a good time tomorrow I think I'm on my own as well for dinner has like a show to go to after our photo shoot and so I'm going to get myself dinner maybe I'll have like a cozy little night in it's supposed to rain it's supposed to rain for like 7 days straight and so far the forecast has been right so I would love a cozy little night in with the boys Hello friends happy Saturday I hope yall are having a great day like I am it is nice and rainy Hayden and I got back from McDonald's a little while ago and yes I did uh indulge in a sausage egg and cheese EG muffin it was fabulous I have been promising y'all a fragrance collection for a while but I wanted to do it in like a more exciting way than just running through each of my perfumes and telling you what I think they smell like I do have all of them here in front of me I do have some like small like travel sized fragrances but I'll be honest I don't reach for those nearly as much as I reach for these right here and what I thought would be fun is to do sort of like a perfume ranking with Hayden I have all of my perfumes listed out on a piece of paper over there and I'm thinking I'm going to spray each of these on a single strip of paper get Hayden to rank them as he is sniffing them I'll put the notes up on the screen and the bottle of what the perfume actually looks like so you can kind of see what uh is all in my collection I mean you can kind of get an idea right here I have quite the collection I would say I have 24 per fumes in front of me one of them is a small one but this is the small one that I actually use they run the gamut between like really expensive Target perfume and then then very expensive Niche perfume I have varied taste and scents as well too you're going to see vanillas in here white florals kind of aquatic scents some really powdery scents I like pretty much everything tends to be the more picky of the two of us and honestly aftering some of those Niche fragrances that I got online I have to say I don't know that I agree with fragrance talk so I think this could be a fun take cuz some of these I like don't see talked about on fragrance Tik Tok and yeah I don't know it's just going to be fun we're going to have a fun time we're going to rank some perfumes we can also see if 's rankings kind of L line up with mine I've already ranked all of these perfumes from 1 to 24 and I want to see if like Hayden's top five is the same as my top five all right who's ready for some fun I have sprayed all of the perfumes and now Hayden is going to basically separate them into a like and a dislike pile and from there he's going to rank the perfumes and we are going to see what he likes and what he doesn't I'm genuinely so curious he always tells me usually for the perfumes I really like that he enjoys them as well but I will just be very curious to see how much our tastes line up I feel like I more often than not I make a comment when I don't like them that's true to that effect I know you're going to love number one oh yeah way too sweet all right wait what would you say this one kind of smells like to you like cake like white cake with like really strong just plain vanilla frosting I'm putting pictures of the bottle on the notes right here and I think that's like fairly accurate so that's a dislike for you yeah number two Let me I don't know which ones are which so I don't hate it in terms of florals but oh I know what this is it it smells just kind of like a rose oh it doesn't it has no rose in it I would bet M this one is interesting it kind of smells like Sweet Tarts maybe like it smells kind of like candy a little bit it's not super sweet but no it's an interesting one that's why I bought it it it has kind of like a reminiscent like High School Middle School smell but like not overwhelmingly oh I like this one this one's interesting it kind of smells like your your chai tea oh that's an interesting take you do like do you not feel that way it's no I like that one you like that one too you don't think that it smells like kind of spice like chai spice you would you would be surprised if that it's in that one it it's not B at all also not bad but it just kind of it smells like a funeral to me yeah that's a dislike I I don't wear that one as much uh I do enjoy it I got it this year and I just didn't wear it when it was seasonally appropriate so got you is what it is I like this one what is it one that I've expressed that I like I in the past I don't know how to describe it it's very green to me but not floral it is floral but that's it is floral that's fair when I say floral iose scented basically I think like rose like that kind of smell like bittersweet to me but it's very grassy hiden likes very grassy sense I do know that about him and uh he actually likes florals he just doesn't understand what florals are yeah I don't really know how to describe it but I like it this is one that I bought because I sprayed it on paper and I didn't really spray it on myself no actually that's not true I did spray it on myself there's some from this line that I haven't that I didn't spray on myself before purchasing and I regret that one's not a regret but that one is like a little warmer than I normally go for I mean I would wear that on myself I like that it's a little warmer than I normally go for but I could could see myself wearing it in the winter a lot I do like that one this one kind of it's weird it smells like shampoo to me yeah it's kind of It kind of has a shampoo freshness I like it kind ofs like an old school Garnier shampoo yes yes that's what it is I like it it's a fave for me um I actually don't know if that one's in my like top five I'll put it in the like I don't think it's going to be in my top five but I'll put it over there because I don't dislike it yeah I like this one but I mean I I think that this is similar to what we've talked about recently this really just reminds me of the p to the Caribbean boat ride at Disney it does and for good reason where they like have a scent to kind of make it smell like like the yeah the village is on fire I like it a lot so am I right in saying that this one is a green like grassy is I think it has a little bit of that to me it gives a little bit more of like a slightly fruity scent not over the- top sweet fruity but like a like a fresh Berry or something I like it a lot yeah I could see that I think it's interesting any of these that you don't like a lot some of them yeah okay yeah I'll let you know which one are okay yeah I do like it at first like I think I was mostly smelling like paper I think and I was like I don't think I like that it's a not as concentrated perfume so it makes sense that it wouldn't be as smelly no I do like that it's good is this one the one that we got in New York oh there's no fig in that way too floral for me I love this one this is a rent purchase for me and I think it's so fabulous especially when it dries down on the skin it smells like a hug to me it is very floral spray yeah this is a recent purchase I bought this in Florida I love it I love tuos like nothing else I think it's amazing but it's a very polarizing scent I would say for me the dry down is just so nice initial spray is very like but I think it smells nice on me so oh no this is the one no wait this is this might be uh Daisy that is not fig so no yeah I just know it smelled familiar yes it does there's another one that also smells like Daisy so this is not Daisy yeah I know it's not it's less grassy than Daisy I really like this one to me this is like grownup Daisy I don't really like this one as much yeah I think it's like I think it's difficult smelling so so many of them back to back and also just having like the general Aura of all of these let me just confirm I'm like 90% sure I know what this is I'd say better on than it does on this piece of paper and you do like it on me you've complimented me before so I think this one I wear this one a lot I don't know how Hayden would feel about it though just because of the kind of s that it is I don't know yeah I don't like it that much I would put it in the dislike but not because I truly dislike it just like you don't like it as much as I don't like it as much as these there's already a lot in the like this one smells like bar soap to me it does like it kind of smells like like Irish Spring something this perfume I sprayed on a piece of paper and I was like this is amazing I like a really soapy scent from time to time but it doesn't smell as nice on my skin this is one that I think actually smells better just like sprayed from the bottle and not on skin at least my skin the popular one from this line a lot of people like it I think it's okay it's not my favorite okay I like that one a lot I'm not surprised you like that one that one's not a favorite of mine but I do like it it's actually pretty low on my list but it's good I do like that one a lot I think this one's pretty high on my list actually that one was recently reformulated and I did didn't know when I purchased it so you have the reformulated one or the not yes I have the reformulated I don't like it as much but it's not bad it's fine to like Rosie this is 18 Oh no you're right I was going to say there's no way that it's this no you're right that's a no for me and that's why I was like so surprised that you were like surprised that I didn't like it and that it cuz I knew that you were going to try to say that it was this one and I was like there's no way that my nose is that off like I probably don't have the best palette for some similar notes so that's not that off but I spoiler I love it also kind of a no for me really big for that 19 I didn't think you would enjoy that one no I don't hate I actually thought this one was a different one I feel like that one might smell different on the body than on paper but that one I wear a lot got there was one I said earlier that I wear a lot and that was a lie it's that one that I read lot oh never mind that's the one all right that's the one easily yeah that that is is this one this is a custom perfume that we made in New York at old factory we really enjoyed it he also made one we made them with the same base fragrance which is then we picked different top notes I picked fig as my top note as well so this is just like fig Central and I'm realizing fig is like one of my favorite fragrances it's this is really grassy Sam I I think I a lot if you're going into a garden that has like fresh produce fresh flowers in it like it is very green um I wouldn't say grassy actually but yeah I really really like this I like that one it's like subtle I'm kind of having a harder time like smelling it but I do like it I don't wear as much anymore but I like it it smells like citronella did you just dip that in the citronella like mosquito candle mm what is that I kind of look it up now that I'm getting more like air involved okay yeah no that's not accurate as to what this is like you didn't mark this correctly no I know what it is to me it has like a lip sticky kind of undertone with top notes of the name of the perfume and I think you're kind of off base on that one but I I get what you're saying I think I'm putting this in the like pile to me it's it's a perfume that feels warm to me it's like a warm kind of skin scent it's got like a muskiness to it but it it doesn't have I would say a super identifiable notes maybe that's just because of the price of the perfume I like it personally it's one that I wear a fair amount you don't have to like it I think I'm going to put it in the dislike pile but it's almost like because I can't really tell what's going on with it this is my oldest per one yeah this is my oldest perfume this one smells like baby shampoo yes I love that is that what you were going to say I love the smell of babies I was going to say bubble bath like baby bubble bath but yeah it smells like babies and I love it no that's that's a I don't hate it again but it's like not your fav okay yeah not my favorite all right so now let's bring these forward and let's try to do this kind of quickly I guess yeah yeah yeah for sure I think I'm going to go with a top six because it's hard to decide between these two and you're getting rid of 13 I'm getting rid of 13 Daisy was very close to make the cut it's very classic to me now rank these rank these yep I think maybe like this okay I think this is my let me let me line them up for you okay and then we can compare it to mine so number 20 is old factory New York 2023 that's what I named it it's a fig scent we love it we both wear it I mean he has his own version but we both wear it in second place for Hayden is glossier you don't dislike this perfume I just think it's really boring and I don't wear it very often I think it's very similar to this one but it might not be in actual practice but on the paper it's giving me kind of similar Vibes kind of but like less strong kind of this one is basically if the Fig perfume didn't have fig like there similar like I guess base notes may be shared but it's a little more lipstick and like artificial smelling and there's more peppercorn in that as well I don't it well I think maybe that's part of what I like is the pepper corn yeah that might be it in number seven you like balde freak by BYO um that one's interesting to me this is my least favorite of all of my perfumes really yes uh I like it I don't actively dislike any of my perfumes I wouldn't own them if I disliked them but this one to me it smells a little bit too mature like smell it in here just smells mature to me not in a bad way it's I think by R's most smell it from here oh it's by R's most popular perfume so it doesn't I guess totally surprise me but this doesn't seem like a hidden scent so that is a little a little surprising what kind of like notes is that I don't know to be honest I don't I really don't know by the fireplace by replica and I I literally I could have told just by looking at it that that was the one yeah it does smell a little vaguely of the PIR of the Caribbean ride because it's got that kind of like Smoky cinnamony goodness great for fall time I'm definitely going to wear the out of this this winter I love this this is great this is not super high on my list but I do like it number 21 is BlackBerry and Bay by Joe Malone really this is one of my oldest perfumes this is the first Joan perfume I ever grabed J what are you no let's not eat bugs how about let you come sit right here this one I like this is going to sound weird babe but this kind of smells like you when your deodorant is starting to wear off and then number 11 is Wood Sage and sea salt by Jon so those are your tops which is so interesting because I think yeah my top five Hayden and I only share one for these could be like interchangeable to me I was between these two and I I remember being like I don't know which one get my dad told me to get this one so I got this one and then later on I got this so I like these let me tell you what my favorites are in first place uh is this one for me I do love the old factory F oh so our first place are the same that's it though we don't share any other top fives number two L hidden actually which number is that you really did not like it here just let me see this list so that I can like look it up and like you actually didn't like it I adore this perfume it has a rhubarb note in it which I've never smelled before in a perfume and to me this is like these two are my two faves like these I can't really live without them which is sad because I don't know if I'll be able to get a refill of that love it kind of smells like babies a little bit it's really fresh that rhubarb cutting through it oh it's so good I love that so much uh number three a perfume hden does not like do rose Angelica again this one when you first spray it it is very too brose forward so it is very floral if you don't like the small of roses you probably won't like this however the dry down is really creamy again it smells like a hug like it kind of smells like your teacher in the ' 9s it's Delight it actually does smell like my fourth grade teacher but like if you also mixed in black cherry cough drops okay I love it I think it's amazing in fourth place we have Mojave ghost I really like this one to me this is like the grown-up version of Daisy there is a note in here that is not present in Daisy so there's a little bit of a difference that one's also much grassier but it does share a lot of um similarity this one lasts on my skin a very long time is a common complaint about Biro perfumes a lot of people tend to not like how they don't last as long but I adore this perfume I think it's great this one did make it to my like list and and I was also in between it like getting into my top five so and my fifth place is Nest Indigo I feel like this one's very different than my other perfumes uh yeah this one I just like because it's got a fuess to it it reminds me of a perfume I wore in college which uh is this one I'll put a picture of it on the screen a note in here that I like again I don't know if it's Iris or Indigo or what it is but I like it I think it's fun I liked it too it like a little sweet for me it is a little bit sweet and I think that's why I like it cuz all of the other ones that I have are like grassy or like soapy or like really fresh and this is a little sexy or like warmer this is is a little bit more on the there's nothing as sexy as a elementary school teacher I I love it to me it's a skin scent it's like no graphic I think it's the kind of scent that I would wear like if I were feeling freaky like I don't know feels erotic not with me yeah I think this is interesting because some of Hayden's tops are my least favorite this was my bottom pick this is number 23 for me um and these two I like so these are like higher up but not super high these are like 15 and 17 on my list so interesting to see what perfumes you like and also I think it gives me a good idea on like what I could get next that Hayden would enjoy he likes sexier scents than I thought I think this is a pretty sexy scent I also think this one's pretty sexy slightly richer deeper smells I did know that but I didn't know that he would like these particular perfumes I could have guessed that he would like these three and this one I know he likes this one but yeah this has been an interesting experiment I I really didn't would be into but like those are my faves I think honorable mention for Opus core I really like this one this one smells really like soapy and this is like the kind of Garnier smelling one I did like this one it's nice it's just a really nice perfume I think it's kind of interesting actually I think it smells better now that it's been like on the paper for it smells really good um I also really like young Rose by BYO this one's also really nice if you like a rose scent but you want something that feels a little bit more like powdery than a traditional Rose I like this one it kind of has a lip stickiness too that you wear that one I wear this one yeah this one and this one have I think some shared notes but I prefer this one um this one has more like peppercorn and like skin scent to it so yeah so hopefully that was informative in some ways uh on the kinds of scense that we like Sensational Sensational hello Vlog I'm not alone I am with the boys I have Hayden I have dingo who is laying on a pillow he's being very cute and um let's you I wanted to pop in because I'm reading books um I'm like me too Eden is reading he's reading heartless I'm reading a physical book he knows how to read with his eyes y'all 50% now into cursed something or other for the other video I'm filming but I'm further into one for my enemy and I mean there was just like a big moment a big juicy moment that I think I kind of talked about last time I was vlogging but I wanted to talk about it again and or talk about the consequences of that because wow wasn't expecting that really wasn't expecting that this book doesn't pull any punches and it is sexy I was wondering like how far it would go with the kind of like sexual content cuz it I think it's an adult romance I think this is pedal as adult um I think most fantasies written by women are pedal as young adult so I just I really didn't know where this one was going to land even though the characters are like in their 20s there's been some you know hands down pants action in public pants action yeah a little public otph I don't know if if the the the job with the hands was had but I I think I think it wanted to happen this a really good angle for me love this um slay we are reading in here because the sheets are in the worsh woring machine well they're in the dryer but well yeah that's true um okay I got to show you Theodore first can I just do that real quick I'm going to do that slow zoom in we have a poopy cat in our house um not just one four actually but one specifically who has been more poopy than the others recently and that would be bash AKA Bingo a shing AKA Binky stinky B bingy has just had kind of like runny poops lately I mean there's nothing wrong with him he's just a kitten and uh it's been getting on his legs cuz his hair is getting longer so we gave him a bath he cut his leg hair but Hayden wasn't home when this situation arose so he did in fact get all over our bed so I did have to um wash the sheets it's just the Glamorous Life of cat owners and we love it isn't that right bab wait what' you say he was just so lost in yeah I Ken Kaden Willis story trying to ignore you talking so that I could actually so that you could keep reading I mean I was going to Vlog for like 3 minutes you know like nothing crazy what did you ask I was asking if you just love being a pet owner and you just love the responsibility of cleaning cat ass I love poop it's amazing you know just I think we're really ready to be parents I think we are I think we've talked about this before but I think that like we can handle cat I think we can handle baby yeah I mean we'll see it could be worse no I'm just kidding it definitely won't be worse no well cuz a baby can't well baby doesn't have hairy ass so baby wear diaper too we're living our best life on this Saturday uh we had soul food for dinner which was fabulous I should have taken a picture SL like video for you I yeah I don't think I have any pictures but it was so good tomorrow I'm going to do more of the same going to read some stuff I know this wasn't like the most thrilling Vlog I feel like I didn't do much besides the perfume stuff but I'm actually kind of glad to have a chill week where I haven't had to do anything like inject myself with needles so yeah I was putting together the Q&A list for the IVF Q&A I was initially going to do like a Q&A and Vlog together but the footage for the Vlog is just too long so I'm going to do two separate videos back to back honestly I'm just like excited for the November content you're going to see this video I think it's the last Vlog in November but there's some some good stuff coming that is not I for or these Vlogs there's like other stuff coming so yeahhello welcome back to my channel I am super excited to share this Vlog with you today it is a fun one where I talk about perfume and books obviously before I get into it I wanted to tell you a little bit about incog because they're running an incredible deal right now and it's something that is really near and dear to my heart as someone who has suffered from identity theft recently so earlier this year my personal identity was stolen someone tried to open up an account in my name let me just tell you the nightmare that was to try to get off of my credit report I had to go to the police I had to call up the account holder I guess or not the account holder but like the people who um held the account it was it was a nightmare it took me like 3 weeks to try to attempt to get that off my credit report it did eventually work I was just thinking to myself like how does this happen and how can I avoid this in the future I didn't really know where to turn Beyond just getting like a freeze on my credit when incog reached out to me I want to say last year at this point I was like oh wow so like basically people just have my public information online and they could just find it anytime they want like that is absolutely terrifying in the US especially we have these things called people search sites someone can go on this site and find so much information about you your license plate number your address like things that you wouldn't think would be publicly available but just are like people can find this stuff the idea of like trying to get all of this information taken down is just so daunting and when AOG reached out and told me what they did I was like this is literally exactly what I need this is exactly what I been looking for I knew I had to try it for myself and I've have been so impressed over the past year of using incog basically incog handles removal requests on websites like this and they are constantly working on your behalf so let's say your information gets posted on a website it does get taken down but it gets reposted like a month or two later and cogy is constantly working to get these things taken down all you have to do is create an account and Grant them the right to work on your behalf the whole process is automated and with a yearly subscription feel really safe knowing that my personal information isn't being used and abused according to the 2022 annual data breach report by the identity theft Resource Center number of victims has gone up nearly 41.5% since 2021 don't be one of them the first 100 people to use code Chandler and click the link in my description will get 60% off of incog thanks to incog for sponsoring this portion of today's video again I'm so excited to share this Vlog with youall let's get into it how are we doing today Hayden we're doing all right I'm back in the gym oh yeah he started that back up I basically I didn't allow him or myself to go anywhere during the like two weeks that we were doing IVF stuff cuz I was like if we get sick this is over this is over you didn't allow because that makes it seem like I was grounded I'm in charge of you no I also made the choice myself to not go anywhere to be safe for a fertility journey I have my surgery on Wednesday Today is Monday and I am feeling phenomenal thank you so much for asking didn't expect to feel this good quickly as I did I felt good about day three and I'm just it's it's up it's up uphill all uphill from here not looking forward to the period that's coming also not this hair she greasy she greased but feeling good and I just wanted to pop in and say hey and start off this Vlog you know what I mean let you know how things are going guess this is the start huh start of the Vlog cuz it's Monday it's a Monday and this is actually going to be the last weekly Vlog of the year so how nuts is that really yeah well here's the thing we got so much filmed content for all of November and then for December you're getting a lot of daily vlogs so no more weeklies oh okay dailies yeah and I think I'll probably film some of those in November it's a secret you didn't hear that from me but that's what I'm going to be doing excited to be here and excited to like actually be proactive I my attention last week when I started the IVF Vlog was to make it just like a regular Vlog with like some IVF updates that didn't happen because I was like in pain and not vibing and so I was just like you know what we're making this an IVF Vlog but we're back at it doing fun things I don't know what I'm going to read this week I think I'm going to read the stuff I was supposed to read last week which I think is going to be one for my enemy by All of You Blake and I also might do 9th house reread which may or may not be difficult because Hayden's reading it for a video you don't want to give away I'm not telling you what the video is but he's reading 9th house too I don't know what nth house is but it's a fantasy book well I'm not reading it yet so you you can get after it if you want okay yeah will maybe but also why is that going to be hard you can share a book you think I was going to like read with my eyes you asked if I had any of these books physically yeah that was for a different purpose oh just to hold them up yeah you're going to get audio books for all these I have credit set up not to give away what we're doing but that's okay I'm going to cut this out I do forget Hayden's editing these now anyway no don't edit that out give people a little sprinkle at what's to come no I think they're going to see that video before this one anyway does matter hello I guess that's fair um yeah I'm kind of in a fantasy mood I've been in a fantasy mood yeah I'm being forced to read all these historical romances for a list video that I'm doing in December honestly y'all I'm just hyped for December I'm really just glad to be back I think that's like what I want to reiterate is that while I have been making things I just haven't felt like me for a really long time I've just been like so caught up in all this like IVF and now that we're like kind of on the tail end of the like hard part I mean we'll see what the hard part is what's the hard part you know I am feeling like myself again and I'm like you know what back do it CU I was stuck in bed and I like didn't feel well enough to read a vlog to do all like the that I needed to do and so I kind of gave up on posting in October which I'm sure you could tell but November December it's a different game it's a different game and I'm here for it question yeah you said that you were in a fantasy mood and if I recall correctly you previously asked people fantasy book you should read did you not get an answer from that or did you never actually ask people no I was just asking you I wasn't going to ask people I thought you asked me you were also asking people you know I don't give a what the people say my answer even you didn't have one which is about the most hidden thing possible I haven't totally given up on the whole wheal of time slash way of Kings thing but kind of I have cuz I just don't really have the time for that anymore not that I have a time crunch but that like November and December coming they're my two favorite months of the year because I was born in November uh it's when it starts getting cold in Texas and then December's Christmas also November's Christmas too have Christmas in your heart I mean if I wasn't here October would be Christmas will mentioned that I did move off the timeline a little bit for Christmas decor the first weekend of November instead of the second week well here's the thing it's like the second weekend is my birthday so we're going to be celebrating is the first weekend of November the one that has November 1st in it no it does not okay it is not it has like the fourth and the and the fifth of November so like it's like it's it's basically December at that point and I am so excited to Vlog that that'll be like a whole daily Vlog as me DEC reading probably just the tree frankly cuz that's going to take forever but did some ornaments today off Amazon I did find some okay yeah Brown ornaments I've been looking for brown ornaments Brown I have made the like conscious executive decision to like not buy a bunch of for this holiday season I have a bunch of stuff I want to switch things up but like not spent a lot of money so I got some cheap ribbon that I like bought some really cheap brown and ball ornaments that I'm going to mix in with the stuff I already have and it's going to be fabulous we're doing like a cozy Christmas Vibe oh I did I did buy some at Target Brown Christmas but not a ton just a couple throw pillows you know girly things it was my first day feeling recovered and I was like I need to go to Target and I did and I money anyway yeah you did walk for like 10 whole minutes I'm going to Target capitalism really stops for no one I think is what we're finding I am going to find my way back home though because I need to do some reading for a patreon vlog I'm excited about it also I had a really good idea for a December patreon video and I think you are not already subscribed you're going to want to subscribe in the month of December because I have something good planned that's not just a regular reading Vlog okay it's going to be a really long video you're going to want to be there you're going to want to be there for it so on that note I'm going to go and I will update you once I start a book all right y'all I am back home obviously and home for a couple hours I got a couple of like fun shipments SL packages that I thought I could show you and I also got that in the last Vlog like I was saying I was meaning to make that V Vlog like a regular one a regular reading Vlog didn't happen so I didn't get to do the book haul that I wanted to do in that video so I do a little unboxing of the things that I got and a little book haul for you hopefully this is exciting I love mail and I love presents first up I'll show you the books that I got and actually I think I talked about these a little bit in the video where I talked about my most not most anticipated but like my fall TBR but I got Catcher by Cassandra CLA got this on Amazon actually I got all these books on Amazon and this one is like Cassandra cla's I guess adult fantasy debut I I probably didn't need a physical copy of it I feel like I should have listened to the audio book before deciding to do that but at the same time I actually enjoy physically reading Sandra cla's books and I am excited to give this one a go though I did just see a review from Monty if you don't follow Monty don't know what the you're doing but I saw a review from Monty on a good reads that was not blistering but definitely I feel like he and I tend to share similar opinions and feelings on books so we'll see how this goes these two books here Once Upon A Broken Heart And The Ballad of Never After I think I'm going to Vlog this series for my patreon I think it's going to be like the second patreon exclusive Vlog for the month of October so if you want to see that subcribe to patreon these ones are ya fantasy which I tend to like not have the best of luck with but also I am kind of back in my y fantasy era like it's been exciting me like interesting me so I figured not pick these up and also there for a video where I read y'all's favorite books of 2023 so books I feel like I haven't purchased books in a while I am looking at a couple of like book of the month books in front of me but again I didn't purchase these I don't have enough battery let's let's do my two packages for context after you go through a major surgery that you've never undergone I say it's a it was not a major surgery after undergoing any surgery I feel like you deserve a little treat I just think you do whether that's a food you enjoy or presents or whatever and I decided to treat myself to some things so I placed a Sephora order and I also was kind of on the hunt for a new fragrance even though I definitely have way too many I am going to do a fragrance collection in this video by the way I decided I was going to get some samples of things that I keep seeing on fragrance talk I feel like I'm on Niche SL like Indie fragrance talk I got sucked in but instead of buying a full bottle of something without knowing what it smells like I decided to buy a bunch of samples so I'll show you those first I guess purchased from two different websites lucky scent and scent s split I think thus far I prefer lucky scent the the prices tend to be better and they have a very similar selection if not better selection than scent split wow they're also tiny I mean I guess I probably should have expected that the only bummer I would say for all of the websites is that the cheap like $4 to5 samples they don't have atomizers attached which is kind of annoying I don't know why that is is it like really that much more expensive to send a little thing with atomizers I'm not really sure but I bought I bought a lot of fragrance I can already smell them in here I don't think any of these like have broken but I can smell already okay wow so this is like the one that I was like really after I got one for me and my sister it's the jardini de Tuscana Bianco latte like everybody talks about Bianca latte I can smell it through the packaging it's very vanilla I I'll I'll give you the scent rundowns whenever I wear them I think like what I'm going to do in this Vlog is try different fragrance every day but these are supposed to be really gourmont I was looking for a vanilla mostly but I didn't know which one I wanted so I got these one for me one for my sister I also got an mfk perfume this is aqua media that one I can't really smell as well through the uh packaging it's kind of like an aquatic scent perfumed Marley this is sanod which I smelled yesterday in person and I don't know that I love it so I'm glad I got like a little sample of it oh another jardini Tuscana this is Bora Bora like I do like a tropical scent let me do that I got witti and black one and black two I don't know where black two is but it's around here somewhere and these were described as being like really sensual and you know sometimes a Girl Wants To Be sensual vilhm perfumery purple f I a fig first and foremost I love fig perfumes essential perfumes or perfumes fig infusion another fig one to try for me I got oh grease shell everyone talks about this and I literally I don't know anything about it it sounds it sounds gross and the bottle looks gross but everyone says It's amazing jardini Gabby Chic I don't know why I keep smelling them because they all smell like the same a few if that makes sense I think one of these leaked a little bit I don't know which one oh Amo love Tu Bros I also like tuberos which is like kind of a I want to say uncommon note in perfume but I think it's a note that a lot of people don't like and I like their perfume de Marley this is Alter which is like their newest perfume and this one smells a little vanilla but it's very masculine I think it is like named it men Acro bake which is supposed to smell like croissants Santa Maria Nolla Rosa gardinia cologne I like gardinia and the packaging was pretty like on the website of the full bottle of perfume another mfk in Grand suar the Woody and black too okay cool I think I got everything that I ordered anyway let's let's look at the Sephora order I feel like it's more Visual and more exciting to look at also I'm realizing that like the scent profiles of the perfumes I I bought not similar like there's a bunch of different stuff I mean I like a bunch of different stuff we've got Gourmand vanillas fig we've got fruity we've got white floral it's it's a mess I really don't know what I need next I think the answer is nothing I wanted to try some stuff so you know I got two perfume samples for free I got Aqua Dee which I I know I like and then raw laor and romance which I also know I like and these ones actually have the atomizer I don't know why they couldn't just give me the atomizer for the other one and I know that that's like I guess technically more liquid and this is much cheaper than this but you know I only got three things from Sephora I also had a $10 off coupon so all this stuff was like 50 bucks but I got the power 28 make waves mascara I have heard Jessica Jessica Brun talk about this a lot I think it's a great mascara I like the packaging I think the packaging on this is super cute and I never buy nice mascara so I was like okay let's just do it I also got the like viral uh pale girl lip liner which I'm really excited about it's called stiner suede it's supposed to be an amazing color if you are really pale and everything looks orangey on you which hello everything looks orangey on me though this is kind of an orangey um lipstick but I'll try this tomorrow and let you know if I think it's worth it for an actually pale girl I feel like most of the people I seen on Tik Tok are like for the pale girls I'm like probably like the third or fourth Foundation shade like which is fine I'm not saying you're not pale but like I'm like shade one or like. five in Foundation like is this going to look good on me we'll see I also treated myself to a little eyeshadow palette I really really wanted the new Natasha denona I need a nude palette so pretty I didn't really want to spend that kind of money and it is just like kind of bulky realized I don't have any good eyeshadow palettes really to travel with which I guess doesn't really matter but with the holidays coming up I know I'm going to be traveling and I just likeed the idea of having like a compact it also this opens like a Natasha denona palette so it's almost like a Natasha denona palette but it's Anastasia Sultry and I really liked this because this just reminded me of high school in a sense I was really into the Urban Decay Naked Palette obviously like everybody else this like has a lot of the same tones it has like a good mix of warm and cool tones pretty shimmers down the center this just seems like something I'm going to love and I surprisingly don't have a lot of this already I do have the Natasha denona Glam palette but that's a little cooler and the tones are just a little different it's like the shimmers in that palette are really pinky really really bronzy and this one I don't know it's just different I like the color in the middle maybe I'll experiment with this tomorrow but I also think this is going to be so nice to travel with so I'm very pleased I think she's cute and I feel like this is overall pretty great day also uh I got some bstock Boston clogs originally in the wrong size by the way um and those came in and I'm pleased if you have normal sized feet I'd recommend getting the regular wide width also sized up so they would look normal I feel like when I got my normal size in the narrow width it just didn't look right so I'm definitely get like the bigger ones anyway that's it for me I'll come back when I have more to say but also my camera battery is dying so fall over Hello friends happy Thursday it's been a second since we last talked very many reasons I will say on Tuesday I thought that I might have a blood clot in my leg so I did go to the emergency room I don't have a blood clot but I was a little worried about it so I was like all right just not really the vibe to film today and also we were like getting like IVF news and I just like didn't really want to film and so I didn't then yesterday I was really focused on posting a vlog for patreon and making sure that this Sunday week 12 that's the Vlog that's going up this Sunday uh that that Vlog was sent off to the sponsor so you know I was a very busy little bee I'm less busy today and so I thought I could take you along with me and we could just chat because I have book stuff to talk about and uh just general life stuff I suppose so I'm putting on my sunscreen and I am going to do my makeup I am a little bit upset because I cannot find that lip liner and I can confirm it's actually really fantastic if you are pale I don't really have a lot of like natural pigment to my lips I feel like it's coming off I have more pigment in this video that I really do my lips are really really pale in real life liner really is nice like it's a really good nude I don't know if I'd call it a my lips but better color because again my lips um they don't really have color but it is really flattering and it is not super orangey so I would recommend it if you're a pill person honestly it's not very expensive either I think it was like 13 bucks so I need to repurchase it I can repurchase it I really am hoping that the cats didn't run away with it and that I misplaced it but like that's a big F that is a big freaking F anyway let's talk about one for my enemy by oliv Lake came out weird you know what I mean this book is about our to characters who I can't remember the name of because frankly I started this book a couple weeks ago and I'm only just now picking it back up for this video but it's about our heroin and our hero she is the daughter of Baba Yaga a witch and she is just trying to live her life just trying to Vibe she is in college and she is the youngest of Seven Sisters I believe we're all kind of like overprotective and just like not letting her live her life in the way that she wants and then we have our hero who is trying to kind of like Avenge the not murder of his brother cuz his brother's not dead but his brother is in like a drug induced like magical coma because one of the older sisters of the heroine put a curse on the brother because I guess he was like trying to encroach on the lady witch Dynasty's like uh territory or like business I suppose they sell drugs to witches and I guess now they're trying to sell drugs to humans I guess the dudes were trying to encroach their you know male witch family so now the hero is like all right I guess I got to infiltrate that family I guess just try to figure out kind of what's going on there and like if they can get to the bottom of like the drugs that they're selling or whatever to get revenge and he comes across the youngest witch sister it's not his intention to like use her necessarily but I'm sure that's what's going to happen but they're going to fall in love and it's going to be going to be interesting I will say like the setting and the vibe of this book's very different than anything I've read very different but it's not really what I was expecting the book is set in New York there is this sort of like Urban SL fantasy setting so like kind of a little bit like Mortal instrumenty in that way but it's an older age demographic I think the heroin's like 21 or something like that and uh yeah I don't know it's it's interesting it's intriguing I want to know if this is going to be really romantic or if it's going to be more on the fantasy side cuz I'm only like 20 is% in so you know plenty of time for things to develop and things to change but thus far I am intrigued I am presently putting on makeup if you're curious as to why I mean I like to look decent most days if I can I am going to grab lunch by myself cuz Hayden is going to a team lunch with the people that he works with need to get myself lunch but I also want to go to Target and look at like t-shirts I decided to sign hien an ie up for a photo shoot which I'm actually really looking forward to the second shooter from our wedding uh I super super talented and we're doing this like kind of like casual shoot in a studio and she definitely left it up to me in terms of like what I wanted the vibe to be it's a mini session by the way so it's not like hours and hours like 20 minutes but I am looking to get just some like nice pictures of Hayden and I I mean got my sister to take pictures for our anniversary that I think turned out really really well but it would be nice to have someone who could like guide us through different like poses almost just get like kind of a different look and I also love creatives like I love to support people whose art I think is really cool and so way to do that is like doing art with them you know what I mean like doing pictures and I'm looking forward to it but I initially thought that we were going to dress up a little bit and we were going to do something fancy but honestly just with the way this year has gone and with like sort of where we're at in our lives I kind of like the idea of sort of like a stripped back casual shoot and I've seen stripped back casual shoots by this photographer before as well and she does a really great job I was going to go and look for like a t-shirt or like maybe a blouse I'm not really sure um a Target and see if I can find something I just don't feel like the selection of uh t-shirts I have right now really works for what I'm I'm going for like something a little bit a little bit looser I do have like ribbed kind of figure hugging T-shirts from Target that I love and swear by but I just I'm going for something a little bit more casual I think that or adversely like a casual blouse if that makes sense um Hayden's going to be wearing a deep green t-shirt from uni it's got like slightly longer arms and it's like a more structured material so it's not like so so so casual I just like want a shirt that's going to complement it maybe I could use these for like Christmas pictures or something not that we like send out cards or anything but I like documenting things through pictures that's like one of my I don't to say Love Languages but I just find that you know especially like with our parents Generations we just don't have like pictures of our parents kind of like as they were growing up and like as their families were changing and growing like I would love to have a ton of pictures of like my mom and dad and me and my sister over the years and we have some but like not an every year thing to see how things are changing and I really like prioritize that and I want to prioritize that when my kid is born I know it's obviously easier said than done cuz kids are you know hard to take pictures of but yeah I'm just trying to look at that president now and I don't know it's just nice to have pictures so I am looking forward to it I think it's almost noon which is perfect cuz I go grab lunch and then head over to Target and then for the rest of the day I am going to be this book I have a book to read for the next patreon exclusive Vlog which is going to be me reading that um curse for a broken heart or whatever I don't remember the name of the book but that like ya Trilogy that I hauled for y'all I'm going to be reading those for patreon so I'm going to start that and then I also want to start the KU Vlog that I'm doing next week I feel like I'm finally kind of getting back into the swing of things in terms of posting regularly my November schedule uh it just happened to work out this way but I think I'm going to be posting three videos a week again which would be so so fun I'm not holding myself to that third video but a lot of them are like sit Downs that don't take you know tons of time or like a ton of reading to do so it would be nice to be able to post that often and then for December I'm going to be posting every single day so there's a lot of content coming for me and I'm just excited to like get back into the swing of things in my favorite time of the year I told yall that November December are my favorite times and yeah I'm just like I'm ecstatic I'm so excited I was actually thinking about it today I was like like maybe I should y'all I did not see that zit oh that's horrible okay if I didn't notice it but before maybe we could just pretend it doesn't exist right I was thinking to myself like okay I need a schedule this week when I'm putting my Halloween decor away in anticipation for Christmas and then I realized Halloween's next week so a little premature on that I'll put Halloween stuff away probably like nober 1st um I just don't want to have to like put things away and decorate in the same day I mean obviously I all this is up to me but I just want to make sure that I have like time between decorating I'll come back let you know how my target trip went and I'll let you know um how one for my eneme is as I continue to read it all right friend friends hello it is 9:00 I'm actually about to go shower get this hair clean and beautiful for photo shoot tomorrow but I wanted to pop in and talk a little bit about one for my enemy I know I said earlier I was 20% in I was actually 50 pages in and now I am 100 pages in and things have happened so this book's about our two main characters Sasha and Lev okay I I forgot their names in the last clip I was trying to explain what this book is but Sasha and Lev are having a playful banter relationship after he gets her number at that bar and he is you know going to use her eventually but he's not quite there yet he's just trying to get into her good graces they know each other are witches by the way it's not like they're completely unaware of their identities but like they don't know or she doesn't know that he is part of the something family the federov family so we've got that the interesting thing is that the eldest sister who is like kind of controlling of Sasha is uh also in love with one of the federov brothers the one that's in the coma I just the the major Cliffhanger just happened not Cliffhanger but like major shock and awe thing happened I'm not going to spoil it cuz like I'm not spoiling this book so you can read it for yourself but I'm intrigued I I didn't realize that it was going to be kind of like a forbidden Romeo Juliet situation with more than just the main people I mean now that there's a lot of main characters I guess is what I'm saying and I was surprised there were multiple romantic relationships being formed here I for one I'm into that um I do I think I actually am intrigued more by the Maria SL um what's his name I don't know whatever this man's name is the other dude dimma no dimma yeah Mario dimma that's interesting to me more so than Sasha and L although I do like Sasha and Love's text conversations they feel would say true to life and I like that and it got me thinking when I write my own book I want to do that too I want to put some good text conversations in there so I'm interested I'm intrigued we also get some more background on like Baga family why the antina family the the female witches why they sell uh illicit drugs illegal drugs and why the other family is like kind of after them for doing this and like wants to do it themselves so I liked to the background I feel like I'm I'm finally into the story and like I finally understand what's going on and I'm liking it it's fun I like uh all of if he likes writing it is a little like pretentious but such as such as fantasy sometimes you know and I'm not not super upset about it I am upset at how small the font in this book is though uh reading in here it feels like I'm reading in a cave it's not that dark in my office but like the the small font has me squinting so don't love that but I I am enjoying this book quite a bit in terms of life things we had dinner at home tonight which was quite delightful um I also am reading Once Upon A Broken Heart 20% in hoping to get 50% into this one tonight I'm also trying to get into watch your mouth by candy Steiner for KU Vlog next week so feel like kind of on top of my reading for once in my life and I'm feeling really good about it like very very good about it I'm excited for just like this weekend and uh hanging out with y'all it's going to be like a reading heavy Vlog I think I think I'm just going to be hanging out reading some books having a good time tomorrow I think I'm on my own as well for dinner has like a show to go to after our photo shoot and so I'm going to get myself dinner maybe I'll have like a cozy little night in it's supposed to rain it's supposed to rain for like 7 days straight and so far the forecast has been right so I would love a cozy little night in with the boys Hello friends happy Saturday I hope yall are having a great day like I am it is nice and rainy Hayden and I got back from McDonald's a little while ago and yes I did uh indulge in a sausage egg and cheese EG muffin it was fabulous I have been promising y'all a fragrance collection for a while but I wanted to do it in like a more exciting way than just running through each of my perfumes and telling you what I think they smell like I do have all of them here in front of me I do have some like small like travel sized fragrances but I'll be honest I don't reach for those nearly as much as I reach for these right here and what I thought would be fun is to do sort of like a perfume ranking with Hayden I have all of my perfumes listed out on a piece of paper over there and I'm thinking I'm going to spray each of these on a single strip of paper get Hayden to rank them as he is sniffing them I'll put the notes up on the screen and the bottle of what the perfume actually looks like so you can kind of see what uh is all in my collection I mean you can kind of get an idea right here I have quite the collection I would say I have 24 per fumes in front of me one of them is a small one but this is the small one that I actually use they run the gamut between like really expensive Target perfume and then then very expensive Niche perfume I have varied taste and scents as well too you're going to see vanillas in here white florals kind of aquatic scents some really powdery scents I like pretty much everything tends to be the more picky of the two of us and honestly aftering some of those Niche fragrances that I got online I have to say I don't know that I agree with fragrance talk so I think this could be a fun take cuz some of these I like don't see talked about on fragrance Tik Tok and yeah I don't know it's just going to be fun we're going to have a fun time we're going to rank some perfumes we can also see if 's rankings kind of L line up with mine I've already ranked all of these perfumes from 1 to 24 and I want to see if like Hayden's top five is the same as my top five all right who's ready for some fun I have sprayed all of the perfumes and now Hayden is going to basically separate them into a like and a dislike pile and from there he's going to rank the perfumes and we are going to see what he likes and what he doesn't I'm genuinely so curious he always tells me usually for the perfumes I really like that he enjoys them as well but I will just be very curious to see how much our tastes line up I feel like I more often than not I make a comment when I don't like them that's true to that effect I know you're going to love number one oh yeah way too sweet all right wait what would you say this one kind of smells like to you like cake like white cake with like really strong just plain vanilla frosting I'm putting pictures of the bottle on the notes right here and I think that's like fairly accurate so that's a dislike for you yeah number two Let me I don't know which ones are which so I don't hate it in terms of florals but oh I know what this is it it smells just kind of like a rose oh it doesn't it has no rose in it I would bet M this one is interesting it kind of smells like Sweet Tarts maybe like it smells kind of like candy a little bit it's not super sweet but no it's an interesting one that's why I bought it it it has kind of like a reminiscent like High School Middle School smell but like not overwhelmingly oh I like this one this one's interesting it kind of smells like your your chai tea oh that's an interesting take you do like do you not feel that way it's no I like that one you like that one too you don't think that it smells like kind of spice like chai spice you would you would be surprised if that it's in that one it it's not B at all also not bad but it just kind of it smells like a funeral to me yeah that's a dislike I I don't wear that one as much uh I do enjoy it I got it this year and I just didn't wear it when it was seasonally appropriate so got you is what it is I like this one what is it one that I've expressed that I like I in the past I don't know how to describe it it's very green to me but not floral it is floral but that's it is floral that's fair when I say floral iose scented basically I think like rose like that kind of smell like bittersweet to me but it's very grassy hiden likes very grassy sense I do know that about him and uh he actually likes florals he just doesn't understand what florals are yeah I don't really know how to describe it but I like it this is one that I bought because I sprayed it on paper and I didn't really spray it on myself no actually that's not true I did spray it on myself there's some from this line that I haven't that I didn't spray on myself before purchasing and I regret that one's not a regret but that one is like a little warmer than I normally go for I mean I would wear that on myself I like that it's a little warmer than I normally go for but I could could see myself wearing it in the winter a lot I do like that one this one kind of it's weird it smells like shampoo to me yeah it's kind of It kind of has a shampoo freshness I like it kind ofs like an old school Garnier shampoo yes yes that's what it is I like it it's a fave for me um I actually don't know if that one's in my like top five I'll put it in the like I don't think it's going to be in my top five but I'll put it over there because I don't dislike it yeah I like this one but I mean I I think that this is similar to what we've talked about recently this really just reminds me of the p to the Caribbean boat ride at Disney it does and for good reason where they like have a scent to kind of make it smell like like the yeah the village is on fire I like it a lot so am I right in saying that this one is a green like grassy is I think it has a little bit of that to me it gives a little bit more of like a slightly fruity scent not over the- top sweet fruity but like a like a fresh Berry or something I like it a lot yeah I could see that I think it's interesting any of these that you don't like a lot some of them yeah okay yeah I'll let you know which one are okay yeah I do like it at first like I think I was mostly smelling like paper I think and I was like I don't think I like that it's a not as concentrated perfume so it makes sense that it wouldn't be as smelly no I do like that it's good is this one the one that we got in New York oh there's no fig in that way too floral for me I love this one this is a rent purchase for me and I think it's so fabulous especially when it dries down on the skin it smells like a hug to me it is very floral spray yeah this is a recent purchase I bought this in Florida I love it I love tuos like nothing else I think it's amazing but it's a very polarizing scent I would say for me the dry down is just so nice initial spray is very like but I think it smells nice on me so oh no this is the one no wait this is this might be uh Daisy that is not fig so no yeah I just know it smelled familiar yes it does there's another one that also smells like Daisy so this is not Daisy yeah I know it's not it's less grassy than Daisy I really like this one to me this is like grownup Daisy I don't really like this one as much yeah I think it's like I think it's difficult smelling so so many of them back to back and also just having like the general Aura of all of these let me just confirm I'm like 90% sure I know what this is I'd say better on than it does on this piece of paper and you do like it on me you've complimented me before so I think this one I wear this one a lot I don't know how Hayden would feel about it though just because of the kind of s that it is I don't know yeah I don't like it that much I would put it in the dislike but not because I truly dislike it just like you don't like it as much as I don't like it as much as these there's already a lot in the like this one smells like bar soap to me it does like it kind of smells like like Irish Spring something this perfume I sprayed on a piece of paper and I was like this is amazing I like a really soapy scent from time to time but it doesn't smell as nice on my skin this is one that I think actually smells better just like sprayed from the bottle and not on skin at least my skin the popular one from this line a lot of people like it I think it's okay it's not my favorite okay I like that one a lot I'm not surprised you like that one that one's not a favorite of mine but I do like it it's actually pretty low on my list but it's good I do like that one a lot I think this one's pretty high on my list actually that one was recently reformulated and I did didn't know when I purchased it so you have the reformulated one or the not yes I have the reformulated I don't like it as much but it's not bad it's fine to like Rosie this is 18 Oh no you're right I was going to say there's no way that it's this no you're right that's a no for me and that's why I was like so surprised that you were like surprised that I didn't like it and that it cuz I knew that you were going to try to say that it was this one and I was like there's no way that my nose is that off like I probably don't have the best palette for some similar notes so that's not that off but I spoiler I love it also kind of a no for me really big for that 19 I didn't think you would enjoy that one no I don't hate I actually thought this one was a different one I feel like that one might smell different on the body than on paper but that one I wear a lot got there was one I said earlier that I wear a lot and that was a lie it's that one that I read lot oh never mind that's the one all right that's the one easily yeah that that is is this one this is a custom perfume that we made in New York at old factory we really enjoyed it he also made one we made them with the same base fragrance which is then we picked different top notes I picked fig as my top note as well so this is just like fig Central and I'm realizing fig is like one of my favorite fragrances it's this is really grassy Sam I I think I a lot if you're going into a garden that has like fresh produce fresh flowers in it like it is very green um I wouldn't say grassy actually but yeah I really really like this I like that one it's like subtle I'm kind of having a harder time like smelling it but I do like it I don't wear as much anymore but I like it it smells like citronella did you just dip that in the citronella like mosquito candle mm what is that I kind of look it up now that I'm getting more like air involved okay yeah no that's not accurate as to what this is like you didn't mark this correctly no I know what it is to me it has like a lip sticky kind of undertone with top notes of the name of the perfume and I think you're kind of off base on that one but I I get what you're saying I think I'm putting this in the like pile to me it's it's a perfume that feels warm to me it's like a warm kind of skin scent it's got like a muskiness to it but it it doesn't have I would say a super identifiable notes maybe that's just because of the price of the perfume I like it personally it's one that I wear a fair amount you don't have to like it I think I'm going to put it in the dislike pile but it's almost like because I can't really tell what's going on with it this is my oldest per one yeah this is my oldest perfume this one smells like baby shampoo yes I love that is that what you were going to say I love the smell of babies I was going to say bubble bath like baby bubble bath but yeah it smells like babies and I love it no that's that's a I don't hate it again but it's like not your fav okay yeah not my favorite all right so now let's bring these forward and let's try to do this kind of quickly I guess yeah yeah yeah for sure I think I'm going to go with a top six because it's hard to decide between these two and you're getting rid of 13 I'm getting rid of 13 Daisy was very close to make the cut it's very classic to me now rank these rank these yep I think maybe like this okay I think this is my let me let me line them up for you okay and then we can compare it to mine so number 20 is old factory New York 2023 that's what I named it it's a fig scent we love it we both wear it I mean he has his own version but we both wear it in second place for Hayden is glossier you don't dislike this perfume I just think it's really boring and I don't wear it very often I think it's very similar to this one but it might not be in actual practice but on the paper it's giving me kind of similar Vibes kind of but like less strong kind of this one is basically if the Fig perfume didn't have fig like there similar like I guess base notes may be shared but it's a little more lipstick and like artificial smelling and there's more peppercorn in that as well I don't it well I think maybe that's part of what I like is the pepper corn yeah that might be it in number seven you like balde freak by BYO um that one's interesting to me this is my least favorite of all of my perfumes really yes uh I like it I don't actively dislike any of my perfumes I wouldn't own them if I disliked them but this one to me it smells a little bit too mature like smell it in here just smells mature to me not in a bad way it's I think by R's most smell it from here oh it's by R's most popular perfume so it doesn't I guess totally surprise me but this doesn't seem like a hidden scent so that is a little a little surprising what kind of like notes is that I don't know to be honest I don't I really don't know by the fireplace by replica and I I literally I could have told just by looking at it that that was the one yeah it does smell a little vaguely of the PIR of the Caribbean ride because it's got that kind of like Smoky cinnamony goodness great for fall time I'm definitely going to wear the out of this this winter I love this this is great this is not super high on my list but I do like it number 21 is BlackBerry and Bay by Joe Malone really this is one of my oldest perfumes this is the first Joan perfume I ever grabed J what are you no let's not eat bugs how about let you come sit right here this one I like this is going to sound weird babe but this kind of smells like you when your deodorant is starting to wear off and then number 11 is Wood Sage and sea salt by Jon so those are your tops which is so interesting because I think yeah my top five Hayden and I only share one for these could be like interchangeable to me I was between these two and I I remember being like I don't know which one get my dad told me to get this one so I got this one and then later on I got this so I like these let me tell you what my favorites are in first place uh is this one for me I do love the old factory F oh so our first place are the same that's it though we don't share any other top fives number two L hidden actually which number is that you really did not like it here just let me see this list so that I can like look it up and like you actually didn't like it I adore this perfume it has a rhubarb note in it which I've never smelled before in a perfume and to me this is like these two are my two faves like these I can't really live without them which is sad because I don't know if I'll be able to get a refill of that love it kind of smells like babies a little bit it's really fresh that rhubarb cutting through it oh it's so good I love that so much uh number three a perfume hden does not like do rose Angelica again this one when you first spray it it is very too brose forward so it is very floral if you don't like the small of roses you probably won't like this however the dry down is really creamy again it smells like a hug like it kind of smells like your teacher in the ' 9s it's Delight it actually does smell like my fourth grade teacher but like if you also mixed in black cherry cough drops okay I love it I think it's amazing in fourth place we have Mojave ghost I really like this one to me this is like the grown-up version of Daisy there is a note in here that is not present in Daisy so there's a little bit of a difference that one's also much grassier but it does share a lot of um similarity this one lasts on my skin a very long time is a common complaint about Biro perfumes a lot of people tend to not like how they don't last as long but I adore this perfume I think it's great this one did make it to my like list and and I was also in between it like getting into my top five so and my fifth place is Nest Indigo I feel like this one's very different than my other perfumes uh yeah this one I just like because it's got a fuess to it it reminds me of a perfume I wore in college which uh is this one I'll put a picture of it on the screen a note in here that I like again I don't know if it's Iris or Indigo or what it is but I like it I think it's fun I liked it too it like a little sweet for me it is a little bit sweet and I think that's why I like it cuz all of the other ones that I have are like grassy or like soapy or like really fresh and this is a little sexy or like warmer this is is a little bit more on the there's nothing as sexy as a elementary school teacher I I love it to me it's a skin scent it's like no graphic I think it's the kind of scent that I would wear like if I were feeling freaky like I don't know feels erotic not with me yeah I think this is interesting because some of Hayden's tops are my least favorite this was my bottom pick this is number 23 for me um and these two I like so these are like higher up but not super high these are like 15 and 17 on my list so interesting to see what perfumes you like and also I think it gives me a good idea on like what I could get next that Hayden would enjoy he likes sexier scents than I thought I think this is a pretty sexy scent I also think this one's pretty sexy slightly richer deeper smells I did know that but I didn't know that he would like these particular perfumes I could have guessed that he would like these three and this one I know he likes this one but yeah this has been an interesting experiment I I really didn't would be into but like those are my faves I think honorable mention for Opus core I really like this one this one smells really like soapy and this is like the kind of Garnier smelling one I did like this one it's nice it's just a really nice perfume I think it's kind of interesting actually I think it smells better now that it's been like on the paper for it smells really good um I also really like young Rose by BYO this one's also really nice if you like a rose scent but you want something that feels a little bit more like powdery than a traditional Rose I like this one it kind of has a lip stickiness too that you wear that one I wear this one yeah this one and this one have I think some shared notes but I prefer this one um this one has more like peppercorn and like skin scent to it so yeah so hopefully that was informative in some ways uh on the kinds of scense that we like Sensational Sensational hello Vlog I'm not alone I am with the boys I have Hayden I have dingo who is laying on a pillow he's being very cute and um let's you I wanted to pop in because I'm reading books um I'm like me too Eden is reading he's reading heartless I'm reading a physical book he knows how to read with his eyes y'all 50% now into cursed something or other for the other video I'm filming but I'm further into one for my enemy and I mean there was just like a big moment a big juicy moment that I think I kind of talked about last time I was vlogging but I wanted to talk about it again and or talk about the consequences of that because wow wasn't expecting that really wasn't expecting that this book doesn't pull any punches and it is sexy I was wondering like how far it would go with the kind of like sexual content cuz it I think it's an adult romance I think this is pedal as adult um I think most fantasies written by women are pedal as young adult so I just I really didn't know where this one was going to land even though the characters are like in their 20s there's been some you know hands down pants action in public pants action yeah a little public otph I don't know if if the the the job with the hands was had but I I think I think it wanted to happen this a really good angle for me love this um slay we are reading in here because the sheets are in the worsh woring machine well they're in the dryer but well yeah that's true um okay I got to show you Theodore first can I just do that real quick I'm going to do that slow zoom in we have a poopy cat in our house um not just one four actually but one specifically who has been more poopy than the others recently and that would be bash AKA Bingo a shing AKA Binky stinky B bingy has just had kind of like runny poops lately I mean there's nothing wrong with him he's just a kitten and uh it's been getting on his legs cuz his hair is getting longer so we gave him a bath he cut his leg hair but Hayden wasn't home when this situation arose so he did in fact get all over our bed so I did have to um wash the sheets it's just the Glamorous Life of cat owners and we love it isn't that right bab wait what' you say he was just so lost in yeah I Ken Kaden Willis story trying to ignore you talking so that I could actually so that you could keep reading I mean I was going to Vlog for like 3 minutes you know like nothing crazy what did you ask I was asking if you just love being a pet owner and you just love the responsibility of cleaning cat ass I love poop it's amazing you know just I think we're really ready to be parents I think we are I think we've talked about this before but I think that like we can handle cat I think we can handle baby yeah I mean we'll see it could be worse no I'm just kidding it definitely won't be worse no well cuz a baby can't well baby doesn't have hairy ass so baby wear diaper too we're living our best life on this Saturday uh we had soul food for dinner which was fabulous I should have taken a picture SL like video for you I yeah I don't think I have any pictures but it was so good tomorrow I'm going to do more of the same going to read some stuff I know this wasn't like the most thrilling Vlog I feel like I didn't do much besides the perfume stuff but I'm actually kind of glad to have a chill week where I haven't had to do anything like inject myself with needles so yeah I was putting together the Q&A list for the IVF Q&A I was initially going to do like a Q&A and Vlog together but the footage for the Vlog is just too long so I'm going to do two separate videos back to back honestly I'm just like excited for the November content you're going to see this video I think it's the last Vlog in November but there's some some good stuff coming that is not I for or these Vlogs there's like other stuff coming so yeah\n"
