OUR BOAT WAS STOLEN _ CHAOTIC WEEK & MAKING THE MOST OUT OF BAD SITUATIONS. PREP FOR WEEKEND TRIP

The Art of Getting Dressed: A Vlogger's Struggle is Real

As I stand in front of my closet, staring at the endless options before me, I am reminded that getting dressed can be a daunting task. My outfit for the day consists of a navy body suit or jumpsuit with a little tie around the waist. I'm wearing white heels because I was going to wear my nude heels, but I counted them yesterday and decided to give myself a deadline: if I don't wear them in a certain amount of time, I have to get rid of them. This promise to myself has led me to don the white shoes, which I'm not entirely sold on.

As I ponder over my outfit choices, I find myself torn between two options that seem neither ideal. On one hand, I could pair this navy jumpsuit with dark jeans, but I'm hesitant because of the bloating issue that comes with drinking and sitting in tight pants. On the other hand, wearing white heels with a flowy dress or skirt might be more comfortable, but it's not my go-to choice for everyday wear.

I take a moment to assess my overall look in the mirror, and I'm pleased to see that the outfit is working for me. The navy jumpsuit accentuates my curves, while the little tie adds a touch of sophistication. My hair, which I didn't straighten today, has taken on a poofy texture that's slightly uncomfortable but also adds to my effortless charm.

As I prepare to leave for my aunt's birthday dinner, I'm excited to show off this outfit in the wine tasting and dinner setting. The white heels will add a touch of elegance to my overall look, and I'm confident that it'll complement the navy jumpsuit nicely. But before I head out, I need to make sure I have everything squared away – including my phone charger, passport, and a playlist for the evening.

In preparation for our upcoming trip to Napa, I've packed everything from comfortable pajamas and leggings to more formal outfits like this one. I've even brought along some Ugg moccasins and tube tops in case we want to dress up or down. It's not just about packing enough clothes; it's also about having a good balance of style and comfort for the activities we have planned.

As I finish getting ready, I take a moment to appreciate my surroundings. The lighting is poor, but that won't stop me from taking some great shots with my camera or phone. I've got my trusty Coach bag and white shoes by my side, which seem to be matching perfectly today. And of course, my little furry companion Ladybaby is by my side, ready to provide some moral support as I embark on this vlogging adventure.

We just finished dinner at a Mexican restaurant called Vallejos, where we had the delicious butter garlic shrimp situation. Although I didn't get many clips of our meal, it was still lovely catching up with everyone and enjoying good food. The atmosphere was cozy, but not conducive to vlogging – so I'm grateful for that.

As I head home, I realize it's already 8:10 PM, and I need to start editing this video before it goes live tomorrow while we're in Napa. It's time to end off this video, but I'll make sure to give you guys a final shoutout – don't forget to subscribe, give this video a thumbs up, and I'll see you in the next one.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entalk to me baby i've been waiting for a lifetime hey guys good morning and happy thursday so today as usual i am in the gym kicking off my morning workout and the vlog i know i've typically been doing um weekend in my lives and i've been really enjoying doing those videos however this weekend i did not do it because um things went down this weekend guys things went down and not necessarily in a good way so um we had theft going on we had other sketchy things going on um i'm i'm really gonna have to just get into this after the workout and like i take care of like some morning stuff and i have a second to sit down with you guys and catch you up because really like it has felt like this week this weekend more so was like it could have been like a movie plot but anywho i will i'll get into all that i will catch you guys up but because i didn't film a weekend to the life i didn't want to leave you guys high and dry so here we are we are filming a i'm not sure if this is going to be a day in life or days i'm just going to kind of see where the video takes me and just yeah we'll play it by ear guys we are going to play it by ear but welcome back to my channel if you haven't already don't forget to subscribe below give this video a big thumbs up thank you again for joining me and i'm gonna kick off my workout and we'll chat in a bit just finished my workout um it was good i did the workout in its entirety which was excellent but i just feel i don't know i feel kind of like low energy and like low motivation so i mean i did everything but i don't feel like i pushed myself to really like get a good workout in like i barely even sweat because i just like took it like so easy but you know um a even a bad workout is better than no workout you know at least i got like movement in and such so still counting it as a win but hopefully tomorrow's will be better for hop in the shower grabbing a kombucha um we had drinks up here the other like actually was like two weeks ago um and then afterwards we just ended up putting alcohol in here which it goes downstairs we've just been too lazy to take it so i mean the wellness drawer is just a mess i need to fix that this week because looking at it stresses me out but anywho taking the kombucha hey guys i'm oh i'm out of the shower still working on my kombucha and starting to get ready i'm trying to get ready pretty quickly i already have emails coming in pretty early um for work so i just want to get after it today i'm feeling kind of like low energy which is frustrating because i've been like low energy the past like three or four days i think it's just because i'm like kind of emotionally or like not emotionally like mentally like at capacity um i just have a lot going on right now which is also why um i didn't i haven't been vlogging so i mean there's so much ketchup that like needs to happen right now um oh but also um i wanted to mention okay my brows okay you see how they're like actually like filling in so the this one's the lash but the grande brow stuff that i think i was telling you guys about it in a recent vlog there we go grande brow and then they have a lash gel or lash um serum also so it's basically just like a growth serum and i've been using it for i think like maybe a month and a half now but i had like super splotchy not splotchy um like i had a lot of gaps in my brows but like overall like i actually have hairs there now anywho so um i actually wrote down notes because there's just like so much going on like i couldn't even keep it straight so last week darren was gone on a work trip all week like monday through friday well it's supposed to be monday through thursday and then oh god i just got eyeliner my eye okay sorry so um yeah darren was supposed to be gone monday through thursday and then thursday he found out that basically so um some things were getting postponed and he needed to stay till friday so i was kind of running the ship here alone um for those days for the whole week and it was like a very busy week so that was like kind of challenging um and then on friday a couple hours before it gets home um we realize i realized um that our boat doubt that we had at our dock was gone like someone stole our boat which is i mean first off incredibly upsetting but also how do they do it so basically like where our house is like it's all houses like they can't walk along the dock like they had to have a boat drive to our dock we don't leave the key in the boat obviously so they had to like i mean untying a boat is not difficult but then they had to like hotwire it basically so they had to have a boat they had a scope out like when we would um be outside or you know be upstairs sleeping and then drive their boat to our boat hot wire it steal it and then well and then take it somewhere but the thing is that because our boat was in the water they don't have a trailer so they can't get the boat out so the boat is somewhere on the river um and we've police tried looking for it they couldn't find it tried drones tried like looking all the places that like people typically take the boats it's not there um we had neighbors mobilize like go with their boats like go look around the river they can't find it we hung posters so yeah basically our entire weekend ended up being that which was incredibly stressful and um now we're almost at a week and they still haven't found our bow i mean where can you hide it so the boat that was stolen was a low um like the make is or the brand whatever you won't call it the make um is low and it was like a fish and cruise pontoon boat like a pontoon boat's like a big boat and you can't get it out of the water without the trailer we have the trailer so they don't have it and like boat trailers i mean you can't just like oh i've got a boat trailer i'll just take the boat out like boat trailers are specific to like the boat model like make and model i mean like i guess if you had an incredibly similar shape and size boat you could but it's not like plug and play like you have a boat trailer you can take out any boat so i don't it's somewhere in the river i don't understand how it could be hidden so that's incredibly frustrating and we just want to like find the boat at this point because that way at least it's not as much of a loss but at this point if it's found it's probably stripped and then the night that it was stolen so the night it was stolen darren was out of town and i was hearing all kinds of like crazy noises and then um it was time like the dogs needed to use the restroom so i was super sketch when we went downstairs um our like motion sensors downstairs were already triggered like when i opened the door like like when you walk out of the house to the backyard you're nowhere near where you would trigger those lights you know and so um like all the noise i was hearing was like wind but it also was like someone was trying to get into like the doors downstairs which was concerning which was like i was like it doesn't sound like wind noise like maybe but like there's no trees that could be hitting it there's no like there's nothing around it that the wind could be blowing into the door you know so um yeah that was sketch and then when i went outside to take the kids to use the restroom um those motion sensors were had been triggered like when i was opening the doors i was like why are those lights on like that was weird and they only stay on for like a minute or two after they're triggered so it had to have been like pretty recently um and then the dogs used the restroom we immediately went inside and like i locked everything and was like super freaking sketched out set the house alarm again and all of that but now i'm like okay so that's the same night that the boat was stolen so after they took the boat were they trying to break into the house and i think they were which is incredibly concerning because once again like i was home alone so yeah that was awful luckily we have like a full house security system um like on all the doors and windows and all of that jazz and like calls the police if like people like break in you know so i mean they they certainly weren't successful in getting in because i would have known um but like that's incredibly scary that they were like at our house and then oh but wait there's more did you think we were done oh honey we're far we are far from done okay um okay our water heater okay so the water heater people back and forth back and forth from here still trying to figure out how on earth to fix it so now they've decided that it is an entire like piping and plumbing issue so now they have started to cut into our walls and um our tile and are going to be repairing or replacing like piping so i'll show you guys that in a bit but like we have full-on like sections of our wall missing and then i guess yeah he started taking out parts of the tile in the bathroom which stresses me out because this house was redone like like that bathroom was done like maybe eight ten years ago like i don't know if we can source that tile i didn't find out until he had already like started destroying that um or cutting into it so i haven't even gone and looked at what it looks like because i was just like i am not prepared to deal with that stress right or like concern right now i just have too much on my plate um other things that are happening right now so i was planning i found out like last thursday or last friday that some of our friends are getting engaged and they want to do um and the boyfriend slash almost fiance uh wanted to do a trip to napa with all the friends to surprise her um but he doesn't live in the area and he's never been to napa so he's like can you do it um which obviously i was very excited to do it but this was also during like the boat theft issue so it was just it was a lot and it was very stressful because we have a large group and most places in napa right now are limited um well we've eight people and most places are limited to six people still and so finding places that would do it and then also it's high season in napa so like all the reservations were like taken so i was literally calling wineries and sobbing to them to get them to like fit us in or like accept our size of group or like move a reservation time by like 30 minutes so that it would work with like another winery that would take us like it got to the point where i was literally having like emotional breakdowns on the phone with these winery like schedulers i'm lightweight embarrassed for like when we go like that wasn't like my strategy i was just like so overwhelmed that like that's what ended up happening um and i'm not really a stress crier like i'm not actually um but i think i just kind of have like reached capacity um and yeah that's how it went down but by doing that i was able to get three wineries we're going to three like quality wineries that like i've actually wanted to go to and like i've heard of like they're not random like ones that like we don't know what to expect and then we also got a dinner reservation at a really good place that i've been wanting to try in napa and then all i got the last hotel room at the hotel we were staying at i booked the last party bus that weekend for that size of people uh that group of people that size group um from i think it was like san francisco all the way through napa the last party bus of that size i booked like literally it was it was like crunch time like everything was booking up and i was like trying to organize for everything but luckily everything came together it's going it's going to be beautiful oh and then this weekend um some friends of ours are going through like some changes right now in like life and whatnot and are put in a situation where they had nowhere to live for like two to three months so um we were going to take them in starting monday um and yeah again for months and we're like okay cool well none of our guest bedrooms are like really done so then it was like okay we need to prepare to have people live with us um so trying to get all of that organized and again i would like to remind you all of this that i'm explaining to you has all happened in the past seven days um and now as of yesterday it looks like maybe they found somewhere closer to where they currently live that's gonna like be okay so maybe they won't but for like the past like five days we've been like preparing and like ordering like furniture and decor and like trying to like set up the room get the plumbers here to like finish everything in that room to like alison it's like turbo mode you know so i don't know if they're staying with us at this point um we're like three days out from when they're supposed to last i checked like it is happening like the other the uh alternative was to like a maybe you know so i don't know i don't know what's happening uh the other stuff okay the other stuff are just some house updates i can show you guys in a minute but it's time for me to um get dressed and kind of start my day so i will finish the updates in a little bit so i'm dressed and ready to go i'm wearing this bodysuit from abercrombie and then i'm wearing these high-waisted jean shorts also from abercrombie and just these gold hoop earrings that i got on amazon okay so it's a couple hours later and i've kind of caught up with work up to this point and i don't have another meeting for about another hour so i thought i would take a second to show you guys um some of the stuff for napa so um like i was telling you guys i did like the planning and stuff and so for the games i have like all of um all of the games here that i'm packing so i have a few of like the expansion packs for like the what you mean game and then like the original and then for over the line um ow that hurt i didn't break my nail though okay for over the line um part of it you need like a white board so it has a like cheap white board in here but usually i just bring this one and it has a stand so it can like stand up and then um their markers suck so i'm bringing my markers and a little rag to clean it so that's how we usually play the game so i'm just like bringing like all of the supplies and then i have a bag of the decoration so i'll show you guys what i got so um oh well first off i'm bringing i'm bringing a bag of liquid iv because you know we need to stay hydrated um we divide it up one of my friends is bringing two bottles of champagne so that we have something to like drink on drink on the bus and then um another my other two friends that are also coming they are dividing up like snacks that they're gonna bring and then they're also gonna bring like water bottles so that we can hydrate on the bus so and then with that we'll have like the liquid iv just to make sure you know no one gets like sick or anything so project wise so on amazon i ordered a 10 pack of these like black reusable plastic cups and i customized them with my cricut so it just has the bride and groom's name and established 2018 so i created 10 of these cups so there's only eight of us but i figured um it was a 10 pack i might as well just you know make all 10. so this weekend i made all of these and um that was really fun i'm actually getting pretty quick um like making things with my cricut like i think i made all 10 of these from like cons like thought conception to like the design and like cutting it weeding it like preparing like everything i think it took me like two and a half to three hours to make all 10 cups um which is pretty quick compared to how long it took me to like make my first projects so i'm really happy with that and then i got a ban um two banners this one whoops this one says she said yes and it's like you know like the the classic like gold sparkly type of banner and then i got a second banner um which is um somewhere in here oh there it is um a second banner and this one says um future mr and mrs and then also same thing like classic cursive gold um letters and then i got sashes um one for like that says bride to be one that says groom to be so that they can stand out um when we're all like in the wineries and then um i got these are two balloons that look like they're like giant engagement rings and then um these are i think they're like 10 inch balloons that say engaged af their initials his initial is first initial is j and hers is g so i got one um 32 inch g balloon and one 32 inch j balloon that we're going to um just inflate with air and tape up there and then i got these foil heart balloons so we're gonna put j heart go or j heart g and then um you know or maybe we'll put one of the banners above that but that's kind of like the idea so all three sides are gonna have something and then they do provide cups but again we're gonna have our own custom cups that are more like fun and exciting and then we're gonna have the champagne i present to you our wall so um there are a few other holes like this throughout the house however it stresses me out to look at them so like we don't need to cover that um but there's going to be a lot more of these because i guess they're redoing the plumbing but the thing is like i mean how far can you get with a hole this size like are they going to do this and then patch it and then work all the way up and do every room in the house i don't i'm obviously not a plumber so like i don't know how this works but like it's concerning okay so i'm just gonna finish the clip in here because the lighting's like changing so much as i'm like walking around i'm sure it's like hard to watch so um yeah darren is on his way to west elm right now and he's returning two of the chairs because two of the chairs like were straight up like sideways literally just said i wasn't gonna walk around while i did this but here we are so basically like so basically like the back of this on the other chairs is like sideways like the entire piece is like pivoted it's like yeah it was at an angle and obviously like we didn't want that and then there's also this seam that goes down the back which made it even more like obvious because the seam was like you know like yeah it wasn't good and it wasn't just the seam that was crooked like the actual chair like the whole seat part because the seat part is like all connected like this is all one piece so they just like attached it sideways like no one used a leveler when they attached it so actually before i move on i want to show you these beautiful new flowers that darren got like look how cool this is like i don't even know what this thing is but it looks beautiful so love that and then also i just got this thing on amazon it was like a two pack you put like this it comes with like it's called lerv but like you know to like lure in the fruit flies basically it's like a fruit fly trap and i'm sure it's like some sort of like sugar water or something but we've been having like a major fruit fly situation so we have one right there and then i have another one over here in the kitchen i kind of tried to like hide it but it's like a very bright color um but yeah i just kind of put it behind the cookbook and like near like where we keep like fruit and stuff so hopefully hopefully that will like resolve the fruit fly situation okay the final thing i've been working on this week is i realized that um darren's birthday is in less than a month and we hadn't planned anything for it so then it was also like on top of like planning and like scheduling and figuring out everything else going on this past week it was also like we need to lock in what we're doing for his birthday because if we're going out of town we also need to find um someone to like watch the dogs if we need to book flights if we need book hotel like all of that so we did figure out what we're doing we're going to be going to disneyland we're going to go um for a couple days and i'm really excited but then it was like we've gotta get the hotel we've gotta get the flights we've gotta get like reservations because as you guys know disney reservations like like food and like drink wise and stuff people book out the moment they can which is 60 days out and we have like less than half of that so um yeah all of that is squared away though we've got the flights i got the pto um approved to go um we got the park tickets we got the dirty state hotel we got the hotel and then i got a dinner reservation for the night of his birthday i got a dinner reservation the following night um at like his favorite place in downtown disney and then i got a reservation in um california adventures for like that like wine tasting like vineyard area that he absolutely loves so he wanted to kind of be able to like get food like you know get the pretzels get this like started talk about the snack bar get like a margarita here you know he wanted to be able to do all of that but things like the birthday dinner and like the wine thing where like you have to have reservations he just wanted to lock those in so i've locked in reservations for all of the things that like he really wanted to do which i'm feeling so good about so you guys the napa thing completely handled the disney like birthday thing completely handled oh but then i needed to do a birthday party thing for him like with like his family because family wants to celebrate so i got that figured out i um found a date and everyone's available i rented uh the sac brew bike and we're doing a customized tour and then we have a dinner reservation at his favorite sushi place in sacramento so like family birthday party done his birthday done all the details about that the napa thing all of that at this point the boat thing is incredibly frustrating but like all of the police stuff is done all the insurance stuff is done like i don't love the outcome but like everything that needed to be handled is handled um and i feel really good about it and then all like my work stuff i've like prepped everything that like i need to do and i just feel like i finally have a grip on life again guys so literally this has been like 15 minutes of updates i feel like throughout the day but that is where i've been that is what i've been doing if you guys follow me on instagram which you should by the way my instagram handle is brook nicole dowd feel free to follow me i post on there pretty regularly however what i was going to say is this past week that's why i haven't really been posting that was like a month worth of stuff like jammed in so yeah i've been like mentally just like at capacity and incredibly stressed but finally things are calming down and it's thursday this weekend is gonna be so much fun and like yeah i have a grip on my life oh my gosh okay so darren just got home from like um like a japanese grocery store and he got all the supplies to make sushi at home so we've got um the toast is or roasted seaweed we have the rice um teriyaki sauce spicy mayo he got a big thing of sake and then um you know the thing you put hot sauce in and then the little sake glasses and then we have sapporo in the fridge and then in the fridge he has like the um like sashimi fish and in the freezer got shrimp tempura so we have everything we need and i think he also got like avocado and like cucumber you know different things we put in there with cream cheese so we're gonna get wild with some rolls tonight and i'm really excited safety girl wants to come say hi hi babies nick it's a pretty girl look at the pretty girl so we're in the kitchen i'm wearing i've wrapped a blanket around myself because i'm just a little chilly it's like nice and beautiful and sunny outside but it's still just like a few degrees too chilly for me so wrapped up um i finally finished my kombucha i kept forgetting i was like drinking it it was like lukewarm um but i finally did it now ginger shot green juice because it's already 1 30 and i realized that i had not eaten yet which is super strange because usually i'm like starving by like nine or ten o'clock but i was just like on a roll with like work and stuff that and like in my head i was thinking about like what i ate for breakfast yesterday and i was like wait why am i not hungry and i was like oh yeah i had like the two avocado toast with like all the hash browns like yeah that's why i'm good to go and then i was like wait a second that was yesterday so anyway i'm making costco um broccoli cheddar quiche in the little toaster oven right there right now and then ginger shot green juice because typically i've already achieved all this in my day usually this is part of like my morning i feel like so out of my routine anywho cheers oh my gosh it just finished it looks and smells so good although okay so i just went to get a plate and you guys basically i realized that the plates were like majority of them were dirty and same with the bowls and i looked at our utensils and they were dirty basically what i realized is that when darren had unloaded the dishwasher a couple days ago i the dishes weren't clean like i mean i wipe them well not wipe them down like i like clean them with like a sponge and like dish soap before i put them in the dishwasher so the dishwasher can like sanitize it like i don't leave all the food on there so i guess he thought that it was clean because like visually like from afar they i guess they kind of look clean but they weren't so um yeah i don't know what utensils are dirty i just went through like all of our dishes and pulled them and i pulled all of the utensils because i don't know what's clean or not so yeah both of those are running and then what i just showed you those are the dishes that don't fit um but yeah i'm rewashing like everything in our kitchen because i'm not about to eat off of like dirty stuff oh my gosh it is now 6 30. i just looked at the clock um i did not even realize that it was like time to like stop work but i'm like so involved in what i'm doing i kind of want to finish it but it's gonna take me another like probably an hour okay maybe i shouldn't do that because otherwise we're gonna have time to make sushi uh so much to do anywho um one of my friends uh stopped by like an hour two ago she dropped off um rose and a regular like root champagne uh for the party bus we are almost ready for sushi making we have the sushi rice and we have already poured in the rice vinegar and then we have the seaweed we have avocado cilantro jalapeno and then um what kind of cucumber is this is england chinese cucumber japanese king the the type of cucumber you put in sushi and then tuna tuna and then we have lime juice lemon juice sriracha mayo and it's not teriyaki sauce unagi sauce and then yeah i showed you guys earlier that darren got the spiffy little sapporo things um or i'm sorry sake and then uh he had the brilliant idea putting the socket in the kettle so we're gonna warm it in there because we don't have a microwave um and then we have the shrimp tempura and then we do have one of the rolling mats um but i don't entirely know that i'm confident about how to use that but we have everything right here ready to rock and roll well i'm not gonna lie i am not a professional also the spicy mail came out a lot faster than i thought it would but you can kind of see i mean like things actually look legit inside i think my biggest issue was that i probably need a bit of a sharper knife so i didn't have to press down on the roll to cut it and then obviously um we needed a like a sauce with like a smaller what do you call that spout like a smaller little thing um but anywho it looks well okay no the ingredients look bomb just finished making the sushi um so i tried to i decided to just kind of stick it all in one plate instead of um dirting a bunch of things so i just kind of fit things where i could um in the first roll i obviously have like rice i trim tempura avocado cucumber and some tuna and then in the second roll i did um obviously the rice and then cucumber shrimp tempura spicy tuna jalapeno and cream cheese so that's what i have in the rolls and i'm really excited to try them i haven't tried the second one yet and then i just put on a little plate some unagi sauce and spicy mayo so then we have our sapporo and um sake i don't know i can't remember the name of anything right now but we have those we're ready to rock and roll we are working on getting the tv set up unfortunately our internet is not really working so darren's trying to figure that out because if we are eating here we might as well do dinner and a show so that's the plan i'm gonna enjoy dinner and i'll see you guys in the morning hey guys good morning it is friday so happy friday um i have a busy work day i've just been going on that i'm still working on the same cup of coffee it takes me forever although i'm almost done which is success um but today yeah i have a lot of work stuff i need to get done and then tonight at 6 30 i have my aunt's birthday dinner i also need to pack for napa and i think maybe that's it so i need to get down to it but just wanted to kick off the vlog for today and say good morning hey guys it is 5 30 and i just finished work always everything always goes wrong on fridays so anywho um i need to leave in um i'd say in the next five minutes to get to my aunt's birthday dinner on time um however i still haven't packed for napa so my outfit options are this long sleeve kind of like balloon sleeve dress beautiful floral and then it has this belt but my only concern is one the fact that's gonna be 75 degrees tomorrow and this is long sleeve b um the fact that the only thing holding this together is a little clasp here and about eight inches before that or above that is a hook and an eye and those are literally the only things holding this dress together and then like you tied the belt around it so i mean a little concerned about if i get like wine drunk or just in general if i'm not paying attention or like if i'm dancing you know doing my thing because i'm that is what i do um i'm scared we're gonna have some like indecent exposure that is not ideal i mean i have like spanx like high-waisted spanx that i could wear like over my underwear like in case we have like you know some opening going on at least it's not like my thong so i could do that what i really wish i wish i had nude colored spanx is that just called shapewear i need like bike short nude shapewear that's what i need okay so that's an option but a little concerned about that my other option unfortunately is also a long sleeve it is this baby blue top that i just removed okay so the shirt goes like this so it's so i can't see um so yeah it's like straight across the shoulder and it's i wouldn't say it's like crop crop like it goes to like just below my like pant line you know it's not really like showing my midriff but it's also not like super long um so yeah i have this this is although it is long sleeve also it is like a much thinner more breathable material but if i do this then i would be doing it with dark jeans and my concern about jeans is that a when you drink you get bloated and that's uncomfortable but b also like just sitting in jeans like sitting on the party butt sitting at the wine tasting like that's not very comfortable so i don't i don't know i like neither option is really ideal so we know the lighting is poor in here but i'm just wearing this navy body suit or not body uh jumpsuit has a little tie around the waist um i did not straighten my hair today so we're a little a little bit on the poofy side but that's okay um and then i'm wearing white heels because i was gonna wear my nude heels and i counted my heels yes here let me go to better lighting i counted my heels yesterday guys i have 19 pairs of heels and i wear approximately two i basically wear the same heels in black and nude like every single day i decided that i'm giving myself a deadline if i don't wear them in a certain amount of time then i have to get rid of them so i'm wearing my white heels today because i don't want to get rid of them so i've made that promise to myself um i also here in this duffel bag i have finally packed for napa so um i'm wearing what i'm wearing like wine tasting into the dinner like i'm wearing that to napa so i'm wearing it just getting ready tomorrow so yeah i i think i mentioned it in a clip earlier so i just needed like pajamas and comfortable stuff to wear tomorrow so basically i brought like a short like shorts pajama set and then i also brought like leggings and a sweatshirt in case we're playing games outside and it gets kind of chilly i have something to wear and then i brought another pair of jeans and like this cute little tube top situation um for the next day i also brought like comfortable like ugg moccasins and then like in case you know it's kind of like a hangover vibe with like the leggings and stuff but in case you go to brunch i want to be cute the outfit also goes with the nude heels that i'm wearing to napa i'm heading out to my aunt's birthday dinner so i will try to get some clips there i will be switching to my phone though because it is awkward vlogging in public or with like my entire family with a full-on camera so i will see you guys there hoping i remember to get clips but look how cute my teacher is oh look i'm like boy look at my boy yeah i'll miss you not sure where sadie girl is she's probably out following darren she thinks it is her life's job to be his shadow oh there's seedy girl i'm going to be using oh come on focus my new white coach bag here's ladybaby love you oh don't pop me in the face you can be a wall chassis sometimes um and yeah using my new white coat purse so white shoes white purse so we match you know what maybe i'll just bring the camera just in case i can't make a decision to save my life i think it's down there so we just finished dinner you can't really see it but that's the restaurant we just ate at so just finished we ate at a mexican restaurant called vallejos as you guys saw in the little short clip i got this like butter garlic um shrimp situation and it was it was pretty good usually i get chicken tacos but i don't know i don't love the chicken tacos here so i thought i would like mix it up and i think that i would probably get this again so that was good um i obviously didn't get many clips so it was really nice just like catching up with everyone and also like just not the time to be like vlogging you know so sorry i don't have more clips of that but i am heading home it is 8 10 right now so i guess i'm just gonna go home make sure i have everything squared away i need to get a playlist going the baby all right see you guys when i get home hey guys i just got home and i think it is time to end off this video oh my gosh look how beautiful the sky is behind me holy crap wow

waiting for a lifetime hey guys good morning and happy thursday so today as usual i am in the gym kicking off my morning workout and the vlog i know i've typically been doing um weekend in my lives and i've been really enjoying doing those videos however this weekend i did not do it because um things went down this weekend guys things went down and not necessarily in a good way so um we had theft going on we had other sketchy things going on um i'm i'm really gonna have to just get into this after the workout and like i take care of like some morning stuff and i have a second to sit down with you guys and catch you up because really like it has felt like this week this weekend more so was like it could have been like a movie plot but anywho i will i'll get into all that i will catch you guys up but because i didn't film a weekend to the life i didn't want to leave you guys high and dry so here we are we are filming a i'm not sure if this is going to be a day in life or days i'm just going to kind of see where the video takes me and just yeah we'll play it by ear guys we are going to play it by ear but welcome back to my channel if you haven't already don't forget to subscribe below give this video a big thumbs up thank you again for joining me and i'm gonna kick off my workout and we'll chat in a bit just finished my workout um it was good i did the workout in its entirety which was excellent but i just feel i don't know i feel kind of like low energy and like low motivation so i mean i did everything but i don't feel like i pushed myself to really like get a good workout in like i barely even sweat because i just like took it like so easy but you know um a even a bad workout is better than no workout you know at least i got like movement in and such so still counting it as a win but hopefully tomorrow's will be better for hop in the shower grabbing a kombucha um we had drinks up here the other like actually was like two weeks ago um and then afterwards we just ended up putting alcohol in here which it goes downstairs we've just been too lazy to take it so i mean the wellness drawer is just a mess i need to fix that this week because looking at it stresses me out but anywho taking the kombucha hey guys i'm oh i'm out of the shower still working on my kombucha and starting to get ready i'm trying to get ready pretty quickly i already have emails coming in pretty early um for work so i just want to get after it today i'm feeling kind of like low energy which is frustrating because i've been like low energy the past like three or four days i think it's just because i'm like kind of emotionally or like not emotionally like mentally like at capacity um i just have a lot going on right now which is also why um i didn't i haven't been vlogging so i mean there's so much ketchup that like needs to happen right now um oh but also um i wanted to mention okay my brows okay you see how they're like actually like filling in so the this one's the lash but the grande brow stuff that i think i was telling you guys about it in a recent vlog there we go grande brow and then they have a lash gel or lash um serum also so it's basically just like a growth serum and i've been using it for i think like maybe a month and a half now but i had like super splotchy not splotchy um like i had a lot of gaps in my brows but like overall like i actually have hairs there now anywho so um i actually wrote down notes because there's just like so much going on like i couldn't even keep it straight so last week darren was gone on a work trip all week like monday through friday well it's supposed to be monday through thursday and then oh god i just got eyeliner my eye okay sorry so um yeah darren was supposed to be gone monday through thursday and then thursday he found out that basically so um some things were getting postponed and he needed to stay till friday so i was kind of running the ship here alone um for those days for the whole week and it was like a very busy week so that was like kind of challenging um and then on friday a couple hours before it gets home um we realize i realized um that our boat doubt that we had at our dock was gone like someone stole our boat which is i mean first off incredibly upsetting but also how do they do it so basically like where our house is like it's all houses like they can't walk along the dock like they had to have a boat drive to our dock we don't leave the key in the boat obviously so they had to like i mean untying a boat is not difficult but then they had to like hotwire it basically so they had to have a boat they had a scope out like when we would um be outside or you know be upstairs sleeping and then drive their boat to our boat hot wire it steal it and then well and then take it somewhere but the thing is that because our boat was in the water they don't have a trailer so they can't get the boat out so the boat is somewhere on the river um and we've police tried looking for it they couldn't find it tried drones tried like looking all the places that like people typically take the boats it's not there um we had neighbors mobilize like go with their boats like go look around the river they can't find it we hung posters so yeah basically our entire weekend ended up being that which was incredibly stressful and um now we're almost at a week and they still haven't found our bow i mean where can you hide it so the boat that was stolen was a low um like the make is or the brand whatever you won't call it the make um is low and it was like a fish and cruise pontoon boat like a pontoon boat's like a big boat and you can't get it out of the water without the trailer we have the trailer so they don't have it and like boat trailers i mean you can't just like oh i've got a boat trailer i'll just take the boat out like boat trailers are specific to like the boat model like make and model i mean like i guess if you had an incredibly similar shape and size boat you could but it's not like plug and play like you have a boat trailer you can take out any boat so i don't it's somewhere in the river i don't understand how it could be hidden so that's incredibly frustrating and we just want to like find the boat at this point because that way at least it's not as much of a loss but at this point if it's found it's probably stripped and then the night that it was stolen so the night it was stolen darren was out of town and i was hearing all kinds of like crazy noises and then um it was time like the dogs needed to use the restroom so i was super sketch when we went downstairs um our like motion sensors downstairs were already triggered like when i opened the door like like when you walk out of the house to the backyard you're nowhere near where you would trigger those lights you know and so um like all the noise i was hearing was like wind but it also was like someone was trying to get into like the doors downstairs which was concerning which was like i was like it doesn't sound like wind noise like maybe but like there's no trees that could be hitting it there's no like there's nothing around it that the wind could be blowing into the door you know so um yeah that was sketch and then when i went outside to take the kids to use the restroom um those motion sensors were had been triggered like when i was opening the doors i was like why are those lights on like that was weird and they only stay on for like a minute or two after they're triggered so it had to have been like pretty recently um and then the dogs used the restroom we immediately went inside and like i locked everything and was like super freaking sketched out set the house alarm again and all of that but now i'm like okay so that's the same night that the boat was stolen so after they took the boat were they trying to break into the house and i think they were which is incredibly concerning because once again like i was home alone so yeah that was awful luckily we have like a full house security system um like on all the doors and windows and all of that jazz and like calls the police if like people like break in you know so i mean they they certainly weren't successful in getting in because i would have known um but like that's incredibly scary that they were like at our house and then oh but wait there's more did you think we were done oh honey we're far we are far from done okay um okay our water heater okay so the water heater people back and forth back and forth from here still trying to figure out how on earth to fix it so now they've decided that it is an entire like piping and plumbing issue so now they have started to cut into our walls and um our tile and are going to be repairing or replacing like piping so i'll show you guys that in a bit but like we have full-on like sections of our wall missing and then i guess yeah he started taking out parts of the tile in the bathroom which stresses me out because this house was redone like like that bathroom was done like maybe eight ten years ago like i don't know if we can source that tile i didn't find out until he had already like started destroying that um or cutting into it so i haven't even gone and looked at what it looks like because i was just like i am not prepared to deal with that stress right or like concern right now i just have too much on my plate um other things that are happening right now so i was planning i found out like last thursday or last friday that some of our friends are getting engaged and they want to do um and the boyfriend slash almost fiance uh wanted to do a trip to napa with all the friends to surprise her um but he doesn't live in the area and he's never been to napa so he's like can you do it um which obviously i was very excited to do it but this was also during like the boat theft issue so it was just it was a lot and it was very stressful because we have a large group and most places in napa right now are limited um well we've eight people and most places are limited to six people still and so finding places that would do it and then also it's high season in napa so like all the reservations were like taken so i was literally calling wineries and sobbing to them to get them to like fit us in or like accept our size of group or like move a reservation time by like 30 minutes so that it would work with like another winery that would take us like it got to the point where i was literally having like emotional breakdowns on the phone with these winery like schedulers i'm lightweight embarrassed for like when we go like that wasn't like my strategy i was just like so overwhelmed that like that's what ended up happening um and i'm not really a stress crier like i'm not actually um but i think i just kind of have like reached capacity um and yeah that's how it went down but by doing that i was able to get three wineries we're going to three like quality wineries that like i've actually wanted to go to and like i've heard of like they're not random like ones that like we don't know what to expect and then we also got a dinner reservation at a really good place that i've been wanting to try in napa and then all i got the last hotel room at the hotel we were staying at i booked the last party bus that weekend for that size of people uh that group of people that size group um from i think it was like san francisco all the way through napa the last party bus of that size i booked like literally it was it was like crunch time like everything was booking up and i was like trying to organize for everything but luckily everything came together it's going it's going to be beautiful oh and then this weekend um some friends of ours are going through like some changes right now in like life and whatnot and are put in a situation where they had nowhere to live for like two to three months so um we were going to take them in starting monday um and yeah again for months and we're like okay cool well none of our guest bedrooms are like really done so then it was like okay we need to prepare to have people live with us um so trying to get all of that organized and again i would like to remind you all of this that i'm explaining to you has all happened in the past seven days um and now as of yesterday it looks like maybe they found somewhere closer to where they currently live that's gonna like be okay so maybe they won't but for like the past like five days we've been like preparing and like ordering like furniture and decor and like trying to like set up the room get the plumbers here to like finish everything in that room to like alison it's like turbo mode you know so i don't know if they're staying with us at this point um we're like three days out from when they're supposed to last i checked like it is happening like the other the uh alternative was to like a maybe you know so i don't know i don't know what's happening uh the other stuff okay the other stuff are just some house updates i can show you guys in a minute but it's time for me to um get dressed and kind of start my day so i will finish the updates in a little bit so i'm dressed and ready to go i'm wearing this bodysuit from abercrombie and then i'm wearing these high-waisted jean shorts also from abercrombie and just these gold hoop earrings that i got on amazon okay so it's a couple hours later and i've kind of caught up with work up to this point and i don't have another meeting for about another hour so i thought i would take a second to show you guys um some of the stuff for napa so um like i was telling you guys i did like the planning and stuff and so for the games i have like all of um all of the games here that i'm packing so i have a few of like the expansion packs for like the what you mean game and then like the original and then for over the line um ow that hurt i didn't break my nail though okay for over the line um part of it you need like a white board so it has a like cheap white board in here but usually i just bring this one and it has a stand so it can like stand up and then um their markers suck so i'm bringing my markers and a little rag to clean it so that's how we usually play the game so i'm just like bringing like all of the supplies and then i have a bag of the decoration so i'll show you guys what i got so um oh well first off i'm bringing i'm bringing a bag of liquid iv because you know we need to stay hydrated um we divide it up one of my friends is bringing two bottles of champagne so that we have something to like drink on drink on the bus and then um another my other two friends that are also coming they are dividing up like snacks that they're gonna bring and then they're also gonna bring like water bottles so that we can hydrate on the bus so and then with that we'll have like the liquid iv just to make sure you know no one gets like sick or anything so project wise so on amazon i ordered a 10 pack of these like black reusable plastic cups and i customized them with my cricut so it just has the bride and groom's name and established 2018 so i created 10 of these cups so there's only eight of us but i figured um it was a 10 pack i might as well just you know make all 10. so this weekend i made all of these and um that was really fun i'm actually getting pretty quick um like making things with my cricut like i think i made all 10 of these from like cons like thought conception to like the design and like cutting it weeding it like preparing like everything i think it took me like two and a half to three hours to make all 10 cups um which is pretty quick compared to how long it took me to like make my first projects so i'm really happy with that and then i got a ban um two banners this one whoops this one says she said yes and it's like you know like the the classic like gold sparkly type of banner and then i got a second banner um which is um somewhere in here oh there it is um a second banner and this one says um future mr and mrs and then also same thing like classic cursive gold um letters and then i got sashes um one for like that says bride to be one that says groom to be so that they can stand out um when we're all like in the wineries and then um i got these are two balloons that look like they're like giant engagement rings and then um these are i think they're like 10 inch balloons that say engaged af their initials his initial is first initial is j and hers is g so i got one um 32 inch g balloon and one 32 inch j balloon that we're going to um just inflate with air and tape up there and then i got these foil heart balloons so we're gonna put j heart go or j heart g and then um you know or maybe we'll put one of the banners above that but that's kind of like the idea so all three sides are gonna have something and then they do provide cups but again we're gonna have our own custom cups that are more like fun and exciting and then we're gonna have the champagne i present to you our wall so um there are a few other holes like this throughout the house however it stresses me out to look at them so like we don't need to cover that um but there's going to be a lot more of these because i guess they're redoing the plumbing but the thing is like i mean how far can you get with a hole this size like are they going to do this and then patch it and then work all the way up and do every room in the house i don't i'm obviously not a plumber so like i don't know how this works but like it's concerning okay so i'm just gonna finish the clip in here because the lighting's like changing so much as i'm like walking around i'm sure it's like hard to watch so um yeah darren is on his way to west elm right now and he's returning two of the chairs because two of the chairs like were straight up like sideways literally just said i wasn't gonna walk around while i did this but here we are so basically like so basically like the back of this on the other chairs is like sideways like the entire piece is like pivoted it's like yeah it was at an angle and obviously like we didn't want that and then there's also this seam that goes down the back which made it even more like obvious because the seam was like you know like yeah it wasn't good and it wasn't just the seam that was crooked like the actual chair like the whole seat part because the seat part is like all connected like this is all one piece so they just like attached it sideways like no one used a leveler when they attached it so actually before i move on i want to show you these beautiful new flowers that darren got like look how cool this is like i don't even know what this thing is but it looks beautiful so love that and then also i just got this thing on amazon it was like a two pack you put like this it comes with like it's called lerv but like you know to like lure in the fruit flies basically it's like a fruit fly trap and i'm sure it's like some sort of like sugar water or something but we've been having like a major fruit fly situation so we have one right there and then i have another one over here in the kitchen i kind of tried to like hide it but it's like a very bright color um but yeah i just kind of put it behind the cookbook and like near like where we keep like fruit and stuff so hopefully hopefully that will like resolve the fruit fly situation okay the final thing i've been working on this week is i realized that um darren's birthday is in less than a month and we hadn't planned anything for it so then it was also like on top of like planning and like scheduling and figuring out everything else going on this past week it was also like we need to lock in what we're doing for his birthday because if we're going out of town we also need to find um someone to like watch the dogs if we need to book flights if we need book hotel like all of that so we did figure out what we're doing we're going to be going to disneyland we're going to go um for a couple days and i'm really excited but then it was like we've gotta get the hotel we've gotta get the flights we've gotta get like reservations because as you guys know disney reservations like like food and like drink wise and stuff people book out the moment they can which is 60 days out and we have like less than half of that so um yeah all of that is squared away though we've got the flights i got the pto um approved to go um we got the park tickets we got the dirty state hotel we got the hotel and then i got a dinner reservation for the night of his birthday i got a dinner reservation the following night um at like his favorite place in downtown disney and then i got a reservation in um california adventures for like that like wine tasting like vineyard area that he absolutely loves so he wanted to kind of be able to like get food like you know get the pretzels get this like started talk about the snack bar get like a margarita here you know he wanted to be able to do all of that but things like the birthday dinner and like the wine thing where like you have to have reservations he just wanted to lock those in so i've locked in reservations for all of the things that like he really wanted to do which i'm feeling so good about so you guys the napa thing completely handled the disney like birthday thing completely handled oh but then i needed to do a birthday party thing for him like with like his family because family wants to celebrate so i got that figured out i um found a date and everyone's available i rented uh the sac brew bike and we're doing a customized tour and then we have a dinner reservation at his favorite sushi place in sacramento so like family birthday party done his birthday done all the details about that the napa thing all of that at this point the boat thing is incredibly frustrating but like all of the police stuff is done all the insurance stuff is done like i don't love the outcome but like everything that needed to be handled is handled um and i feel really good about it and then all like my work stuff i've like prepped everything that like i need to do and i just feel like i finally have a grip on life again guys so literally this has been like 15 minutes of updates i feel like throughout the day but that is where i've been that is what i've been doing if you guys follow me on instagram which you should by the way my instagram handle is brook nicole dowd feel free to follow me i post on there pretty regularly however what i was going to say is this past week that's why i haven't really been posting that was like a month worth of stuff like jammed in so yeah i've been like mentally just like at capacity and incredibly stressed but finally things are calming down and it's thursday this weekend is gonna be so much fun and like yeah i have a grip on my life oh my gosh okay so darren just got home from like um like a japanese grocery store and he got all the supplies to make sushi at home so we've got um the toast is or roasted seaweed we have the rice um teriyaki sauce spicy mayo he got a big thing of sake and then um you know the thing you put hot sauce in and then the little sake glasses and then we have sapporo in the fridge and then in the fridge he has like the um like sashimi fish and in the freezer got shrimp tempura so we have everything we need and i think he also got like avocado and like cucumber you know different things we put in there with cream cheese so we're gonna get wild with some rolls tonight and i'm really excited safety girl wants to come say hi hi babies nick it's a pretty girl look at the pretty girl so we're in the kitchen i'm wearing i've wrapped a blanket around myself because i'm just a little chilly it's like nice and beautiful and sunny outside but it's still just like a few degrees too chilly for me so wrapped up um i finally finished my kombucha i kept forgetting i was like drinking it it was like lukewarm um but i finally did it now ginger shot green juice because it's already 1 30 and i realized that i had not eaten yet which is super strange because usually i'm like starving by like nine or ten o'clock but i was just like on a roll with like work and stuff that and like in my head i was thinking about like what i ate for breakfast yesterday and i was like wait why am i not hungry and i was like oh yeah i had like the two avocado toast with like all the hash browns like yeah that's why i'm good to go and then i was like wait a second that was yesterday so anyway i'm making costco um broccoli cheddar quiche in the little toaster oven right there right now and then ginger shot green juice because typically i've already achieved all this in my day usually this is part of like my morning i feel like so out of my routine anywho cheers oh my gosh it just finished it looks and smells so good although okay so i just went to get a plate and you guys basically i realized that the plates were like majority of them were dirty and same with the bowls and i looked at our utensils and they were dirty basically what i realized is that when darren had unloaded the dishwasher a couple days ago i the dishes weren't clean like i mean i wipe them well not wipe them down like i like clean them with like a sponge and like dish soap before i put them in the dishwasher so the dishwasher can like sanitize it like i don't leave all the food on there so i guess he thought that it was clean because like visually like from afar they i guess they kind of look clean but they weren't so um yeah i don't know what utensils are dirty i just went through like all of our dishes and pulled them and i pulled all of the utensils because i don't know what's clean or not so yeah both of those are running and then what i just showed you those are the dishes that don't fit um but yeah i'm rewashing like everything in our kitchen because i'm not about to eat off of like dirty stuff oh my gosh it is now 6 30. i just looked at the clock um i did not even realize that it was like time to like stop work but i'm like so involved in what i'm doing i kind of want to finish it but it's gonna take me another like probably an hour okay maybe i shouldn't do that because otherwise we're gonna have time to make sushi uh so much to do anywho um one of my friends uh stopped by like an hour two ago she dropped off um rose and a regular like root champagne uh for the party bus we are almost ready for sushi making we have the sushi rice and we have already poured in the rice vinegar and then we have the seaweed we have avocado cilantro jalapeno and then um what kind of cucumber is this is england chinese cucumber japanese king the the type of cucumber you put in sushi and then tuna tuna and then we have lime juice lemon juice sriracha mayo and it's not teriyaki sauce unagi sauce and then yeah i showed you guys earlier that darren got the spiffy little sapporo things um or i'm sorry sake and then uh he had the brilliant idea putting the socket in the kettle so we're gonna warm it in there because we don't have a microwave um and then we have the shrimp tempura and then we do have one of the rolling mats um but i don't entirely know that i'm confident about how to use that but we have everything right here ready to rock and roll well i'm not gonna lie i am not a professional also the spicy mail came out a lot faster than i thought it would but you can kind of see i mean like things actually look legit inside i think my biggest issue was that i probably need a bit of a sharper knife so i didn't have to press down on the roll to cut it and then obviously um we needed a like a sauce with like a smaller what do you call that spout like a smaller little thing um but anywho it looks well okay no the ingredients look bomb just finished making the sushi um so i tried to i decided to just kind of stick it all in one plate instead of um dirting a bunch of things so i just kind of fit things where i could um in the first roll i obviously have like rice i trim tempura avocado cucumber and some tuna and then in the second roll i did um obviously the rice and then cucumber shrimp tempura spicy tuna jalapeno and cream cheese so that's what i have in the rolls and i'm really excited to try them i haven't tried the second one yet and then i just put on a little plate some unagi sauce and spicy mayo so then we have our sapporo and um sake i don't know i can't remember the name of anything right now but we have those we're ready to rock and roll we are working on getting the tv set up unfortunately our internet is not really working so darren's trying to figure that out because if we are eating here we might as well do dinner and a show so that's the plan i'm gonna enjoy dinner and i'll see you guys in the morning hey guys good morning it is friday so happy friday um i have a busy work day i've just been going on that i'm still working on the same cup of coffee it takes me forever although i'm almost done which is success um but today yeah i have a lot of work stuff i need to get done and then tonight at 6 30 i have my aunt's birthday dinner i also need to pack for napa and i think maybe that's it so i need to get down to it but just wanted to kick off the vlog for today and say good morning hey guys it is 5 30 and i just finished work always everything always goes wrong on fridays so anywho um i need to leave in um i'd say in the next five minutes to get to my aunt's birthday dinner on time um however i still haven't packed for napa so my outfit options are this long sleeve kind of like balloon sleeve dress beautiful floral and then it has this belt but my only concern is one the fact that's gonna be 75 degrees tomorrow and this is long sleeve b um the fact that the only thing holding this together is a little clasp here and about eight inches before that or above that is a hook and an eye and those are literally the only things holding this dress together and then like you tied the belt around it so i mean a little concerned about if i get like wine drunk or just in general if i'm not paying attention or like if i'm dancing you know doing my thing because i'm that is what i do um i'm scared we're gonna have some like indecent exposure that is not ideal i mean i have like spanx like high-waisted spanx that i could wear like over my underwear like in case we have like you know some opening going on at least it's not like my thong so i could do that what i really wish i wish i had nude colored spanx is that just called shapewear i need like bike short nude shapewear that's what i need okay so that's an option but a little concerned about that my other option unfortunately is also a long sleeve it is this baby blue top that i just removed okay so the shirt goes like this so it's so i can't see um so yeah it's like straight across the shoulder and it's i wouldn't say it's like crop crop like it goes to like just below my like pant line you know it's not really like showing my midriff but it's also not like super long um so yeah i have this this is although it is long sleeve also it is like a much thinner more breathable material but if i do this then i would be doing it with dark jeans and my concern about jeans is that a when you drink you get bloated and that's uncomfortable but b also like just sitting in jeans like sitting on the party butt sitting at the wine tasting like that's not very comfortable so i don't i don't know i like neither option is really ideal so we know the lighting is poor in here but i'm just wearing this navy body suit or not body uh jumpsuit has a little tie around the waist um i did not straighten my hair today so we're a little a little bit on the poofy side but that's okay um and then i'm wearing white heels because i was gonna wear my nude heels and i counted my heels yes here let me go to better lighting i counted my heels yesterday guys i have 19 pairs of heels and i wear approximately two i basically wear the same heels in black and nude like every single day i decided that i'm giving myself a deadline if i don't wear them in a certain amount of time then i have to get rid of them so i'm wearing my white heels today because i don't want to get rid of them so i've made that promise to myself um i also here in this duffel bag i have finally packed for napa so um i'm wearing what i'm wearing like wine tasting into the dinner like i'm wearing that to napa so i'm wearing it just getting ready tomorrow so yeah i i think i mentioned it in a clip earlier so i just needed like pajamas and comfortable stuff to wear tomorrow so basically i brought like a short like shorts pajama set and then i also brought like leggings and a sweatshirt in case we're playing games outside and it gets kind of chilly i have something to wear and then i brought another pair of jeans and like this cute little tube top situation um for the next day i also brought like comfortable like ugg moccasins and then like in case you know it's kind of like a hangover vibe with like the leggings and stuff but in case you go to brunch i want to be cute the outfit also goes with the nude heels that i'm wearing to napa i'm heading out to my aunt's birthday dinner so i will try to get some clips there i will be switching to my phone though because it is awkward vlogging in public or with like my entire family with a full-on camera so i will see you guys there hoping i remember to get clips but look how cute my teacher is oh look i'm like boy look at my boy yeah i'll miss you not sure where sadie girl is she's probably out following darren she thinks it is her life's job to be his shadow oh there's seedy girl i'm going to be using oh come on focus my new white coach bag here's ladybaby love you oh don't pop me in the face you can be a wall chassis sometimes um and yeah using my new white coat purse so white shoes white purse so we match you know what maybe i'll just bring the camera just in case i can't make a decision to save my life i think it's down there so we just finished dinner you can't really see it but that's the restaurant we just ate at so just finished we ate at a mexican restaurant called vallejos as you guys saw in the little short clip i got this like butter garlic um shrimp situation and it was it was pretty good usually i get chicken tacos but i don't know i don't love the chicken tacos here so i thought i would like mix it up and i think that i would probably get this again so that was good um i obviously didn't get many clips so it was really nice just like catching up with everyone and also like just not the time to be like vlogging you know so sorry i don't have more clips of that but i am heading home it is 8 10 right now so i guess i'm just gonna go home make sure i have everything squared away i need to get a playlist going the baby all right see you guys when i get home hey guys i just got home and i
