I recently had a bit of an issue with my order. I didn't know how to correct it when ordering in French, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get what I wanted. However, the person ahead of me received their medium-sized meal and looked like they were enjoying it, which made me happy.

I did end up getting a large meal, but it's actually not as big as I thought it would be when I saw it on the screen. It looks like a little Timbit that makes the reindeer look super cute. The other meal that I saw was also adorable - it had a snowman made out of donuts and looked like a Christmas tree. I'm not entirely sure what's in an extra-large meal, though, as I only have one Christmas cup to refer to.

I've been trying to get into reading more French books, and I recently finished "Dinos Before Dark" by La Velez. This book was actually really exciting for me because it's a dinosaur-themed novel that I'd never read before. However, what I've found helpful is taking down all the words that I don't know while I'm reading and then translating them in a separate document. Next to each word in order of appearance, I'll write its definition so that if I still don't understand it later, I can refer back to it.

I also finished reading "Isn't It Romantic" by a different author, which was my first book from the Bromance Book Club series. So far, I've found it to be a decent read and am considering continuing with it because it's going by quickly. However, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the Christmas books that I want to read before the holiday season ends.

To get ahead of myself, I decided to start watching some French "Paw Patrol" while making breakfast, which sounds a bit silly but is actually quite soothing. I did manage to find my lost book, though - it fell off the couch and was hiding in between Charlie's ramp and the black basket of blankets. It made me happy when I finally found it.

I've been filming videos all week, including five today, so I'm feeling a bit exhausted. Now that I've finished with this week's vlog, I need to go edit the final video before posting it tomorrow. My day isn't quite over yet, but for now, I can take a moment to relax and enjoy some quality time with Charlie, who just wants to cuddle up in my lap.

I'd like to thank all of you for watching this week's reading vlog - I hope you enjoyed it! I'm excited to get started on the next one soon.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello good morning oh it looks so messy just because i have my jacket there from when i took charlie for a walk this morning but the kitchen is so clean and i feel like usually the background behind me looks so messy because i just am lazy but i try to keep things really clean but like the kitchen is very clean right now anyways welcome to a new reading vlog that was an interesting start it is 8 30 in the morning i have already been to the gym taken charlie for a walk showered and uh washed my face and now i'm just getting i'm gonna get ready for my day so i'm gonna make myself some breakfast i'm going to what else was i going to do oh do some reading obviously i have been time blocking my day i'm really trying to work on figuring that out so then my like free time doesn't bleed into my work time no my work time doesn't bleed into my free time because i have a tendency to like not have a start and stop point for my work day so i'm trying to work on that but i'm also trying to be a little bit more realistic with how much time it will take me to do things because i have a lot of things that i want to do so my issue is that i'll always have like way too small of a block of time to get the stuff done in so then i end up like getting off schedule and thrown completely off and then can't stick to it so i am so far ahead of schedule because i gave myself quite a bit of time for the gym so in case like i wake up later or i end up taking a little bit longer i decided to do cardio or whatever i gave myself a good chunk of time so i am ahead of the game right now which is really nice but i am going to do some reading i'm currently reading a holly jolly diwali by sonia lolly and i am really liking this i am almost 100 pages in it's flying by and i'm having a great time reading it which is awesome so i'm super excited about that and i'm really looking forward to diving further into it because it's really good so far so hopefully it continues to be that way i feel like it will be but yeah uh today i'm gonna be doing some filming i'm actually going to be filming a couple of bookmas videos so i have to get decorated and everything the house is actually decorated for christmas which i can show you guys a little bit later but that's what's up happy monday so it's a little bit later and by a little bit later i mean now it's noon oh you can see the christmas tree in the background i haven't decorated it yet but look how pretty it makes me so happy uh but yeah i have been really productive today actually so i find that my new time blocking so far has been working out pretty well i did take a little bit of a nap which is like i don't feel bad about that because i mean i've been up since four and i think i slept for like 20 minutes to half an hour so really not that bad and i feel a lot better after that so now i'm just making lunch i'm going to take a little bit of a break from work and then get to filming after so we are we're just trucking along today so slight change of plans uh i wish i had thought of this before i put on my makeup and whatever so i decided instead of filming today i'm actually going to plan out some videos for some reason the planning out of videos takes me so long like i procrastinate it for forever even though it's really not that hard like it's not like i need to do that much to plan out the videos but i don't know why i'm like that but yeah uh i'm gonna plan some out i wish that my laptop was in commission right now because i would like to do that in front of the tv but oh well alas i accidentally left it on the floor and the roomba like pushed the charger into it so we don't have a charger the laptop seems to be fine but i don't have a charger at the moment so i need to order one and i'm waiting for it so for now i just have this computer to work with which is like totally fine i don't want to sound like i'm whining or anything because i mean my screen is big enough that i can have something to watch on one side and then something to like where i'm writing on the other but i would like to get at least like the first little bit of bookmas planned like the first week or so planned today that would be really nice and i do actually also have a november book haul that i need to plan so then i can do some filming tomorrow so i'm gonna try and get back on schedule figure out the rest of the week accordingly but i think this is a good idea if anything maybe if i do feel like it and i have time i'll revisit filming today but i don't think that's probably gonna happen hello so it is 11 30 in the morning i'm just about to wash my face now because i'm going to be doing filming today because like i said yesterday i didn't end up filming because i don't feel prepared but last night i did plan out some videos so i will be able to do some filming but i'm gonna wash my face before anything i didn't like wash my hair again which normally i like to have fresh hair when i'm gonna be filming but that just felt like a lot of work and like waiting for it to dry and everything would make me put off filming more so i decided i'm just gonna rock like a half up half down sort of thing and deal with it and it's fine but i went to the gym again this morning i did a pull workout so that's back and biceps and then i ran for 30 minutes so i'm really working on like cardio and implementing that more so then i can run for 30 minutes and not die because like i do kind of take a couple of walking breaks and everything at the moment but i'm getting there like the fact that i'm even doing it is very impressive to me but i think i might film a video today while i'm doing my makeup i was maybe going to do that yesterday but then i didn't end up doing it by the way i'm using the verse keep the peace acne calming uh cream cleanser my skin has been very angry lately and i think it's just the stress but i have been breaking out a lot so i've been trying to like mitigate that by the products that i'm using i do kind of change up my skincare routine almost every day to be honest like i have certain products that i will implement throughout the week like last night i used retinol so that i changed my cleanser to one that isn't going to conflict i have an app that i use actually here it's called skincare that's all it's called i think it did cost money but it's really helpful so i think it's made by the company who has the ordinary the ordinary products are already in there but you can like add the other products in there so i have literally like whoops i have all of my skincare products and it will tell me if anything conflicts or anything so then i know that i'm not like messing up because i have so many things you know you don't want anything conflicting but i did when i got home from the gym i did have a little bit of a nap once again i feel like on tuesdays and thursdays i'm like i feel like i need a nap during the day since i know i have class at night and i have to be there until 9 15 which like doesn't seem that late but i'm not used to having something until 9 15 anymore i feel like when i was younger it was but now like it's weird to have to be out until 9 15. i'm like an old lady so because of that i'm always super tired on tuesdays and thursdays like i had kind of mentioned earlier and i do find that my scheduling and being more realistic with like the timing that it's going to take me to do things and all the things that i have to do has been working in particular i've given myself like a lot of time for the gym so in case i do wake up later or whatever i will still be on track but because of that like i gave myself from six until i think it was 10 at the gym and i ended up being done at nine so actually i think it was a little bit before nine and i was able to take that nap and i'm still on schedule so now the only thing that is next on my schedule is getting ready and then doing the filming so i am i'm on track i did do a little bit of reading today i read a little bit of a holy jolly diwali i almost dropped that and that would have been tragic because this is not cheap but i definitely am still enjoying a holly jolly diwali i think it's super super cute uh i'm just having a lot of fun with it like i love the chemistry between the two characters it's just a really sweet holiday read so i think it's super fun i am just enjoying all the characters and everything and yeah it's been a very quick read too but anyways i'm just gonna finish washing my face and then go and get ready like i said i think i'm going to film a separate video for that so let's get the day started it's officially snowing this is like the first real snowfall i looked out the window and i was like ooh i knew this was coming but i'm honestly terrified for quebec winters like i'm from the southernmost point that you can get in canada and our snow is not the same as it is up here the cold that we get down there is not the same as it is up here so i have just been dreading the amount of snow and yesterday it was kind of snowing it was like really wet snow so it didn't really count it was half rain half snow but now it's like actually officially snowing oh my goodness anyways uh i'm actually gonna have lunch i'm kind of running a little bit behind schedule because i ended up uploading uh my like wellness vlog i guess that's what i could call those i really don't know what to call that series right now so i asked you guys for advice uh but anyways i'm gonna go and have lunch and then actually put on a face and then get to filming but i'm not feeling like wearing a lot of makeup today so i'm probably going to do like minimal makeup because i don't know that's just how i feel so i actually did end up doing some filming today i filmed two videos three if you count my like getting ready video so i do feel good about that i had two more on my to-do list but it's three and since i have class tonight i kind of just want to take some time to relax before uh i feel like i deserve it you know i've earned it hey i did stay on schedule actually i thought i was running behind but i was not so i was supposed to film until four and then start doing dinner but i'm just gonna take the last hour to kind of chill a little bit and then i'll probably start making dinner a little bit earlier just because i don't know how long it's gonna take and i want to eat before going to my course so it has been a solid productive day and i'm also going to make my to-do list for the next couple of days oh my goodness the sun directly in my facebook good morning everyone and happy saturday i don't even know the last time that i vlogged for this vlog i have actually been doing quite a bit of vlogging for my uh like weekly wellness series so that's good i guess but for this series i just kind of i don't know i haven't really been doing a ton of reading so i i just haven't updated i mean i am almost done with my current read uh and i'm hoping to finish it today so hopefully i can do that today is going to be my first big book miss filming day though because i not that i've been putting it off but i'm kind of further behind than i would like to be as far as bookmas filming goes so i really want to try and get on track today and be able to stay on track so today i didn't go to the gym and i just let myself sleep in because it's rest day so it's currently about 10 i'm waiting for my hair to dry a bit before i get ready i am having my coffee here in this adorable little christmas cup i love it so much but i am going to sit here and read it for a little bit and hopefully make some decent progress the roomba's going by the way which i didn't really acknowledge earlier but i did actually go to the library earlier this week because i wanted to read some french books but i didn't want to like buy a ton and then not be able to read them or whatever i don't know just buying them felt like a lot so i decided to go to the library and i have a good stack of books here so i'm just gonna try and cover like where it says what library it is uh i got alice obviously and i did also get through the looking glass so these two might be a little bit advanced for me but i do have them in case i am feeling like a challenge right now what i'm doing is kind of as i'm reading it because the books that i picked like the main ones here are intended for ages seven and up so as i'm reading it i have a notebook where i'm writing down the words that i don't know and then when i like finish a chapter or whatever i will go and look up those words and i also have been actually reading it out loud to my boyfriend because speaking is the number one thing that i need to work on but i am currently working on oh where is my coffee oh it's in my backpack over there because i brought it to french class but i'm not sure if once i'm finished with it i might actually go back and read it to see like kind of solidify the words i'm not exactly sure what i'm going to do yet but i did pick up a ton of books from the magic treehouse series which i've been trying to find in french but i didn't know what the french title of it was so i wasn't able to find it i was just searching for like magic treehouse in french and nothing was coming up but it is la caben magique and i'm so excited to have these these were my favorite when i was a kid like we spent so many bookmarked episodes talking about these books i just always been like a history nerd and interesting stuff like that and i just love these books because they go over those things so i will go and grab the one that i'm currently reading for you okay they actually had a ton of these at the library so i just picked up a few to start with but i'm definitely going to have to go back but i'm starting with number one which you might know as uh dinosaurs before dark but it is actually called la valet dinosaur please don't make fun of my pronunciation i know it's so bad but i am working on it but i am actually pretty far through this i'm almost done with it and it's just been so nice to read these again like i remember when i was a kid there's so many of these books and i wanted all of them but i didn't really have that many so there's like a celebrity that i had and i loved and i would re-read all the time and i got a couple of them the number one like my favorite one that i haven't been able to find like either to purchase a physical copy because i was like maybe that one i will actually purchase or to get at the library is the titanic one tonight on the titanic in french i loved tonight in the titanic like absolutely obsessed with it by the way i read obviously just in case it was confusing i read the english version so when i was a kid but tonight on the titanic was one of my favorites alongside dolphins at daybreak was such a just they're so great so i got dolphins at daybreak here i'm so excited but i also got this one is i don't remember the english title but it's lions i'm not gonna try and pronounce pronounce them because i don't want to feel self-conscious while editing this but i also have this one which is i think this one is about alaska i'm not entirely sure but then i'm pretty sure i had no i actually don't think i had this one i think i saw this one and wanted it but the one that i did have wasn't the jungle one i had the amazon one i'm just so pumped you can read these again they are amazing this kangaroo one i had never seen before was really excited about it then we've got this panda one like so fun obviously i go for the animal ones mostly or the history ones and then we have the snow dog one i am just so pumped for all of these and i'm definitely going to be looking for the other ones too that like i don't have and i'm going to try and read all of them because i'm having a blast with them they're a lot of fun and i'm surprised by how much i'm actually understanding obviously with something that's like about dinosaurs there's bound to be words that i don't know and don't understand but a lot of it i have been able to figure out by context or because it's not that different than the actual like english word so it has been very surprising how much i understand and i have learned some new words from it too so i think this is a good idea like i've also been trying to watch some french kids shows so i have been watching paw patrol in french because it's available on my tv like the quebec station that we have because we don't have cable because we always just stream things but we do have like this package where we have some french shows so i have been starting out with paw patrol which has been quite enjoyable actually like the animation in these shows compared to the shows when i was a kid is amazing but a lot of the episodes that i've watched so far have been about dinosaurs too so i don't know like i just i have all the dinosaur information right now as far as french so if anyone ever wants to talk about dinosaurs i'm your girl but yeah i'm going to go and actually do some of my english reading and try and get my day started because i have a lot on my to-do list today i have like gotten off to a pretty good start i have the laundry going and everything but i want to try and stay on track so then i can stay on track with bookmas and be able to maybe take a little bit of a break later oh my god so i filmed three bookmas videos which is exciting but i had wanted to try and do five or six but oh my goodness my back is hurting from just like standing the entire time which i could theoretically sit but i don't have a rug in here so it's not as comfy to sit and i also have like all of my decorations that are usually on my shelves are at the bottom part now so the top looks pretty but the bottom doesn't bless you sir bless you oh bless you so i think i'm gonna call it also because the sun is setting so what i've been doing is usually when i'm done filming i would like put all my equipment away and everything i keep it in the guest room but what i've been doing because of bookmas and that was my hip that cracked if you heard that but i've been doing because of bookmas is keeping the equipment just out so then when i do want to film i can just start filming which i think is a better plan but i did get three videos done so that's exciting and i think for the rest of the day i might take some time to do a little bit of editing which i hadn't been planning on doing but i feel like it would be kind of a good idea so i think now because the sun sets so early or else like i would take a little bit of a break sit down for a bit and then get back to filming but the sun sets at like four and then it's pitch black by like 4 30. so i can't really film all that late and really i should have gotten up earlier but like also i wanted to sleep in because it's like my one day to sleep in because tomorrow i have to get up early to take charlie to his uh puppy social so what i'm gonna do now is take charlie for a walk uh and then i'm gonna sit and relax for a bit and then i'll see what i'm gonna do probably make dinner by that point and then after dinner see what i want to do so i feel like it's been a really productive day so i'm very happy about that i'm super tired now like my throat has been killing me but like i've i feel a little bit better about where i am with bookmas videos and i'm going to see how many videos i'm able to film tomorrow and then i'll plan out the rest of the week accordingly hopefully i'll be able to get a bit of a earlier start tomorrow but we'll see i did actually also end up finishing with a holly jolly diwali and i really liked it it was super super cute i loved following the character as she was like learning more about her culture and asking questions about it and i really enjoyed learning more about diwali and the setting of india was super cool too and i just i had a great time with that one the romance was definitely like very insta-love but i also thought it was a really cute romance at the same time so i didn't mind it so much and especially because it didn't seem to be the main focus a lot of the focus was on the main character learning more about herself as a person and i liked that so yeah i have fun with that but now i'm gonna take charlie for a walk so then i mean before it gets dark so then i can just kind of sit for a little bit good morning charlie did you have a good time with your friends yeah good morning everyone and happy sunday i'm just gonna change i feel like i want an angle in between the two of those i guess i'll just take a book and put that underneath is that better uh but hello happy sunday so i have quite a busy day today but i already have started my day because uh charlie had his social this morning so went to that right now i'm just making myself some breakfast and i did get myself a coffee i haven't been like buying coffee because i'm trying to be more financially responsible uh but they like there was a 30 off coupon and also there's a tim hortons right next to where i take charlie for his training on sundays i get myself a coffee like once or twice a week i'll maybe get myself a coffee it kind of depends but mostly i've been making it at home because i also have a plethora of mugs that i would like to use i did get the christmas cup though i'll show you that i tried ordering a lot an extra large like i usually get but they gave me a large and i didn't know how to correct it so i just like i saw it when i was ordering that it was a large but like on the screen but i just didn't know how to correct it because i order in french and i have my script and i can't be asked any questions or else i'll have no clue what's going on so i just got a large today uh but it's so cute look we've got like it's a little timbit that makes the reindeer super cute the other one that i saw i saw the person ahead of me this literally doesn't matter but it just makes me happy the person ahead of me was getting theirs and i think it was a medium and that one was a snowman made out of donuts like adorable i know that the extra large is a christmas tree i forget what it's made out of though because i've only gotten the christmas cup once before and i don't know what the small is i'll have to look but i really enjoy the christmas cups and everything uh but anyways just getting started on my day here i did finish a book so i finished reading i'm gonna go get it i literally am so unprepared for this but i finished with my french copy of uh dinosaurs before dark so i finished with la velez dinosaur please don't make fun of me once again but i am actually going to go through and read it again because why i think i mentioned this yesterday but what i've been doing is as i'm reading it i'm like taking down all the words that i don't know and then translating them so i figured i can go back and read it and like have this open next to me because they're in order of appearance so i'll be able to read and then if i still don't know what the word is then i can like refer to this and then see if it helps me out so i think i'm gonna try doing that and like see if that helps and then move on to my next french la cabin magique book uh i did i finished with holly jolly divali which i let you know and then i was reading undercover no not undercover what is it the fourth book in the bromance book club series isn't it romantic that's what it is sorry my oven is preheated now but i already put my potatoes in it's going to do this for a while though because it wants me to open the oven but i already did i was too impatient anyways i started with uh isn't it romantic and i'm like a decent way through but i kind of want to move on to one of my christmas books that i have because i filmed my december tbr yesterday and i have so many like christmas books to read so i would really like to actually read them and get to them during the holidays but i also have like blogs that i'm going to be doing for christmas and everything so i'm not going to be able to read christmas books the entire holiday season and also i feel like i might get overwhelmed by that so i feel like i kind of want to get head start and continue with some of my more festive reads or maybe i'll continue with isn't it romantic i don't really know i am liking it though so maybe i should continue with it because it's going by very quickly i don't really know what i want to do but yeah happy sunday i am going to watch some of my french paw patrol while i make my breakfast now so i just had my dinner but i just wanted to close out this week's vlog for you guys so i finished with two books here i haven't done my reread of this one yet but i did finish with a holly jolly diwali by sonia lolly which i ended up finding it it fell off the couch and in between charlie's ramp in the black basket of blankets i can't speak i filmed five videos today so i'm just absolutely spent but i need to go and edit this one so that it can go up tomorrow so my day is not quite over yet but yeah i finished with this one and i finally found it and i did really like it and then i also finished with the french version of dinosaurs before dark which is really exciting charlie just wants to sit in my lap he doesn't really care about anything else that's happening right now don't you you just want to cuddle but i am going to be doing my reread of this with like my little notes of all the words that i didn't know but yeah i did finish with it so thank you guys so much for watching this week's reading vlog i hope you enjoyed and i will see you next week with another one bye i know you just want me to pet you you're like why did you stop please do it againhello good morning oh it looks so messy just because i have my jacket there from when i took charlie for a walk this morning but the kitchen is so clean and i feel like usually the background behind me looks so messy because i just am lazy but i try to keep things really clean but like the kitchen is very clean right now anyways welcome to a new reading vlog that was an interesting start it is 8 30 in the morning i have already been to the gym taken charlie for a walk showered and uh washed my face and now i'm just getting i'm gonna get ready for my day so i'm gonna make myself some breakfast i'm going to what else was i going to do oh do some reading obviously i have been time blocking my day i'm really trying to work on figuring that out so then my like free time doesn't bleed into my work time no my work time doesn't bleed into my free time because i have a tendency to like not have a start and stop point for my work day so i'm trying to work on that but i'm also trying to be a little bit more realistic with how much time it will take me to do things because i have a lot of things that i want to do so my issue is that i'll always have like way too small of a block of time to get the stuff done in so then i end up like getting off schedule and thrown completely off and then can't stick to it so i am so far ahead of schedule because i gave myself quite a bit of time for the gym so in case like i wake up later or i end up taking a little bit longer i decided to do cardio or whatever i gave myself a good chunk of time so i am ahead of the game right now which is really nice but i am going to do some reading i'm currently reading a holly jolly diwali by sonia lolly and i am really liking this i am almost 100 pages in it's flying by and i'm having a great time reading it which is awesome so i'm super excited about that and i'm really looking forward to diving further into it because it's really good so far so hopefully it continues to be that way i feel like it will be but yeah uh today i'm gonna be doing some filming i'm actually going to be filming a couple of bookmas videos so i have to get decorated and everything the house is actually decorated for christmas which i can show you guys a little bit later but that's what's up happy monday so it's a little bit later and by a little bit later i mean now it's noon oh you can see the christmas tree in the background i haven't decorated it yet but look how pretty it makes me so happy uh but yeah i have been really productive today actually so i find that my new time blocking so far has been working out pretty well i did take a little bit of a nap which is like i don't feel bad about that because i mean i've been up since four and i think i slept for like 20 minutes to half an hour so really not that bad and i feel a lot better after that so now i'm just making lunch i'm going to take a little bit of a break from work and then get to filming after so we are we're just trucking along today so slight change of plans uh i wish i had thought of this before i put on my makeup and whatever so i decided instead of filming today i'm actually going to plan out some videos for some reason the planning out of videos takes me so long like i procrastinate it for forever even though it's really not that hard like it's not like i need to do that much to plan out the videos but i don't know why i'm like that but yeah uh i'm gonna plan some out i wish that my laptop was in commission right now because i would like to do that in front of the tv but oh well alas i accidentally left it on the floor and the roomba like pushed the charger into it so we don't have a charger the laptop seems to be fine but i don't have a charger at the moment so i need to order one and i'm waiting for it so for now i just have this computer to work with which is like totally fine i don't want to sound like i'm whining or anything because i mean my screen is big enough that i can have something to watch on one side and then something to like where i'm writing on the other but i would like to get at least like the first little bit of bookmas planned like the first week or so planned today that would be really nice and i do actually also have a november book haul that i need to plan so then i can do some filming tomorrow so i'm gonna try and get back on schedule figure out the rest of the week accordingly but i think this is a good idea if anything maybe if i do feel like it and i have time i'll revisit filming today but i don't think that's probably gonna happen hello so it is 11 30 in the morning i'm just about to wash my face now because i'm going to be doing filming today because like i said yesterday i didn't end up filming because i don't feel prepared but last night i did plan out some videos so i will be able to do some filming but i'm gonna wash my face before anything i didn't like wash my hair again which normally i like to have fresh hair when i'm gonna be filming but that just felt like a lot of work and like waiting for it to dry and everything would make me put off filming more so i decided i'm just gonna rock like a half up half down sort of thing and deal with it and it's fine but i went to the gym again this morning i did a pull workout so that's back and biceps and then i ran for 30 minutes so i'm really working on like cardio and implementing that more so then i can run for 30 minutes and not die because like i do kind of take a couple of walking breaks and everything at the moment but i'm getting there like the fact that i'm even doing it is very impressive to me but i think i might film a video today while i'm doing my makeup i was maybe going to do that yesterday but then i didn't end up doing it by the way i'm using the verse keep the peace acne calming uh cream cleanser my skin has been very angry lately and i think it's just the stress but i have been breaking out a lot so i've been trying to like mitigate that by the products that i'm using i do kind of change up my skincare routine almost every day to be honest like i have certain products that i will implement throughout the week like last night i used retinol so that i changed my cleanser to one that isn't going to conflict i have an app that i use actually here it's called skincare that's all it's called i think it did cost money but it's really helpful so i think it's made by the company who has the ordinary the ordinary products are already in there but you can like add the other products in there so i have literally like whoops i have all of my skincare products and it will tell me if anything conflicts or anything so then i know that i'm not like messing up because i have so many things you know you don't want anything conflicting but i did when i got home from the gym i did have a little bit of a nap once again i feel like on tuesdays and thursdays i'm like i feel like i need a nap during the day since i know i have class at night and i have to be there until 9 15 which like doesn't seem that late but i'm not used to having something until 9 15 anymore i feel like when i was younger it was but now like it's weird to have to be out until 9 15. i'm like an old lady so because of that i'm always super tired on tuesdays and thursdays like i had kind of mentioned earlier and i do find that my scheduling and being more realistic with like the timing that it's going to take me to do things and all the things that i have to do has been working in particular i've given myself like a lot of time for the gym so in case i do wake up later or whatever i will still be on track but because of that like i gave myself from six until i think it was 10 at the gym and i ended up being done at nine so actually i think it was a little bit before nine and i was able to take that nap and i'm still on schedule so now the only thing that is next on my schedule is getting ready and then doing the filming so i am i'm on track i did do a little bit of reading today i read a little bit of a holy jolly diwali i almost dropped that and that would have been tragic because this is not cheap but i definitely am still enjoying a holly jolly diwali i think it's super super cute uh i'm just having a lot of fun with it like i love the chemistry between the two characters it's just a really sweet holiday read so i think it's super fun i am just enjoying all the characters and everything and yeah it's been a very quick read too but anyways i'm just gonna finish washing my face and then go and get ready like i said i think i'm going to film a separate video for that so let's get the day started it's officially snowing this is like the first real snowfall i looked out the window and i was like ooh i knew this was coming but i'm honestly terrified for quebec winters like i'm from the southernmost point that you can get in canada and our snow is not the same as it is up here the cold that we get down there is not the same as it is up here so i have just been dreading the amount of snow and yesterday it was kind of snowing it was like really wet snow so it didn't really count it was half rain half snow but now it's like actually officially snowing oh my goodness anyways uh i'm actually gonna have lunch i'm kind of running a little bit behind schedule because i ended up uploading uh my like wellness vlog i guess that's what i could call those i really don't know what to call that series right now so i asked you guys for advice uh but anyways i'm gonna go and have lunch and then actually put on a face and then get to filming but i'm not feeling like wearing a lot of makeup today so i'm probably going to do like minimal makeup because i don't know that's just how i feel so i actually did end up doing some filming today i filmed two videos three if you count my like getting ready video so i do feel good about that i had two more on my to-do list but it's three and since i have class tonight i kind of just want to take some time to relax before uh i feel like i deserve it you know i've earned it hey i did stay on schedule actually i thought i was running behind but i was not so i was supposed to film until four and then start doing dinner but i'm just gonna take the last hour to kind of chill a little bit and then i'll probably start making dinner a little bit earlier just because i don't know how long it's gonna take and i want to eat before going to my course so it has been a solid productive day and i'm also going to make my to-do list for the next couple of days oh my goodness the sun directly in my facebook good morning everyone and happy saturday i don't even know the last time that i vlogged for this vlog i have actually been doing quite a bit of vlogging for my uh like weekly wellness series so that's good i guess but for this series i just kind of i don't know i haven't really been doing a ton of reading so i i just haven't updated i mean i am almost done with my current read uh and i'm hoping to finish it today so hopefully i can do that today is going to be my first big book miss filming day though because i not that i've been putting it off but i'm kind of further behind than i would like to be as far as bookmas filming goes so i really want to try and get on track today and be able to stay on track so today i didn't go to the gym and i just let myself sleep in because it's rest day so it's currently about 10 i'm waiting for my hair to dry a bit before i get ready i am having my coffee here in this adorable little christmas cup i love it so much but i am going to sit here and read it for a little bit and hopefully make some decent progress the roomba's going by the way which i didn't really acknowledge earlier but i did actually go to the library earlier this week because i wanted to read some french books but i didn't want to like buy a ton and then not be able to read them or whatever i don't know just buying them felt like a lot so i decided to go to the library and i have a good stack of books here so i'm just gonna try and cover like where it says what library it is uh i got alice obviously and i did also get through the looking glass so these two might be a little bit advanced for me but i do have them in case i am feeling like a challenge right now what i'm doing is kind of as i'm reading it because the books that i picked like the main ones here are intended for ages seven and up so as i'm reading it i have a notebook where i'm writing down the words that i don't know and then when i like finish a chapter or whatever i will go and look up those words and i also have been actually reading it out loud to my boyfriend because speaking is the number one thing that i need to work on but i am currently working on oh where is my coffee oh it's in my backpack over there because i brought it to french class but i'm not sure if once i'm finished with it i might actually go back and read it to see like kind of solidify the words i'm not exactly sure what i'm going to do yet but i did pick up a ton of books from the magic treehouse series which i've been trying to find in french but i didn't know what the french title of it was so i wasn't able to find it i was just searching for like magic treehouse in french and nothing was coming up but it is la caben magique and i'm so excited to have these these were my favorite when i was a kid like we spent so many bookmarked episodes talking about these books i just always been like a history nerd and interesting stuff like that and i just love these books because they go over those things so i will go and grab the one that i'm currently reading for you okay they actually had a ton of these at the library so i just picked up a few to start with but i'm definitely going to have to go back but i'm starting with number one which you might know as uh dinosaurs before dark but it is actually called la valet dinosaur please don't make fun of my pronunciation i know it's so bad but i am working on it but i am actually pretty far through this i'm almost done with it and it's just been so nice to read these again like i remember when i was a kid there's so many of these books and i wanted all of them but i didn't really have that many so there's like a celebrity that i had and i loved and i would re-read all the time and i got a couple of them the number one like my favorite one that i haven't been able to find like either to purchase a physical copy because i was like maybe that one i will actually purchase or to get at the library is the titanic one tonight on the titanic in french i loved tonight in the titanic like absolutely obsessed with it by the way i read obviously just in case it was confusing i read the english version so when i was a kid but tonight on the titanic was one of my favorites alongside dolphins at daybreak was such a just they're so great so i got dolphins at daybreak here i'm so excited but i also got this one is i don't remember the english title but it's lions i'm not gonna try and pronounce pronounce them because i don't want to feel self-conscious while editing this but i also have this one which is i think this one is about alaska i'm not entirely sure but then i'm pretty sure i had no i actually don't think i had this one i think i saw this one and wanted it but the one that i did have wasn't the jungle one i had the amazon one i'm just so pumped you can read these again they are amazing this kangaroo one i had never seen before was really excited about it then we've got this panda one like so fun obviously i go for the animal ones mostly or the history ones and then we have the snow dog one i am just so pumped for all of these and i'm definitely going to be looking for the other ones too that like i don't have and i'm going to try and read all of them because i'm having a blast with them they're a lot of fun and i'm surprised by how much i'm actually understanding obviously with something that's like about dinosaurs there's bound to be words that i don't know and don't understand but a lot of it i have been able to figure out by context or because it's not that different than the actual like english word so it has been very surprising how much i understand and i have learned some new words from it too so i think this is a good idea like i've also been trying to watch some french kids shows so i have been watching paw patrol in french because it's available on my tv like the quebec station that we have because we don't have cable because we always just stream things but we do have like this package where we have some french shows so i have been starting out with paw patrol which has been quite enjoyable actually like the animation in these shows compared to the shows when i was a kid is amazing but a lot of the episodes that i've watched so far have been about dinosaurs too so i don't know like i just i have all the dinosaur information right now as far as french so if anyone ever wants to talk about dinosaurs i'm your girl but yeah i'm going to go and actually do some of my english reading and try and get my day started because i have a lot on my to-do list today i have like gotten off to a pretty good start i have the laundry going and everything but i want to try and stay on track so then i can stay on track with bookmas and be able to maybe take a little bit of a break later oh my god so i filmed three bookmas videos which is exciting but i had wanted to try and do five or six but oh my goodness my back is hurting from just like standing the entire time which i could theoretically sit but i don't have a rug in here so it's not as comfy to sit and i also have like all of my decorations that are usually on my shelves are at the bottom part now so the top looks pretty but the bottom doesn't bless you sir bless you oh bless you so i think i'm gonna call it also because the sun is setting so what i've been doing is usually when i'm done filming i would like put all my equipment away and everything i keep it in the guest room but what i've been doing because of bookmas and that was my hip that cracked if you heard that but i've been doing because of bookmas is keeping the equipment just out so then when i do want to film i can just start filming which i think is a better plan but i did get three videos done so that's exciting and i think for the rest of the day i might take some time to do a little bit of editing which i hadn't been planning on doing but i feel like it would be kind of a good idea so i think now because the sun sets so early or else like i would take a little bit of a break sit down for a bit and then get back to filming but the sun sets at like four and then it's pitch black by like 4 30. so i can't really film all that late and really i should have gotten up earlier but like also i wanted to sleep in because it's like my one day to sleep in because tomorrow i have to get up early to take charlie to his uh puppy social so what i'm gonna do now is take charlie for a walk uh and then i'm gonna sit and relax for a bit and then i'll see what i'm gonna do probably make dinner by that point and then after dinner see what i want to do so i feel like it's been a really productive day so i'm very happy about that i'm super tired now like my throat has been killing me but like i've i feel a little bit better about where i am with bookmas videos and i'm going to see how many videos i'm able to film tomorrow and then i'll plan out the rest of the week accordingly hopefully i'll be able to get a bit of a earlier start tomorrow but we'll see i did actually also end up finishing with a holly jolly diwali and i really liked it it was super super cute i loved following the character as she was like learning more about her culture and asking questions about it and i really enjoyed learning more about diwali and the setting of india was super cool too and i just i had a great time with that one the romance was definitely like very insta-love but i also thought it was a really cute romance at the same time so i didn't mind it so much and especially because it didn't seem to be the main focus a lot of the focus was on the main character learning more about herself as a person and i liked that so yeah i have fun with that but now i'm gonna take charlie for a walk so then i mean before it gets dark so then i can just kind of sit for a little bit good morning charlie did you have a good time with your friends yeah good morning everyone and happy sunday i'm just gonna change i feel like i want an angle in between the two of those i guess i'll just take a book and put that underneath is that better uh but hello happy sunday so i have quite a busy day today but i already have started my day because uh charlie had his social this morning so went to that right now i'm just making myself some breakfast and i did get myself a coffee i haven't been like buying coffee because i'm trying to be more financially responsible uh but they like there was a 30 off coupon and also there's a tim hortons right next to where i take charlie for his training on sundays i get myself a coffee like once or twice a week i'll maybe get myself a coffee it kind of depends but mostly i've been making it at home because i also have a plethora of mugs that i would like to use i did get the christmas cup though i'll show you that i tried ordering a lot an extra large like i usually get but they gave me a large and i didn't know how to correct it so i just like i saw it when i was ordering that it was a large but like on the screen but i just didn't know how to correct it because i order in french and i have my script and i can't be asked any questions or else i'll have no clue what's going on so i just got a large today uh but it's so cute look we've got like it's a little timbit that makes the reindeer super cute the other one that i saw i saw the person ahead of me this literally doesn't matter but it just makes me happy the person ahead of me was getting theirs and i think it was a medium and that one was a snowman made out of donuts like adorable i know that the extra large is a christmas tree i forget what it's made out of though because i've only gotten the christmas cup once before and i don't know what the small is i'll have to look but i really enjoy the christmas cups and everything uh but anyways just getting started on my day here i did finish a book so i finished reading i'm gonna go get it i literally am so unprepared for this but i finished with my french copy of uh dinosaurs before dark so i finished with la velez dinosaur please don't make fun of me once again but i am actually going to go through and read it again because why i think i mentioned this yesterday but what i've been doing is as i'm reading it i'm like taking down all the words that i don't know and then translating them so i figured i can go back and read it and like have this open next to me because they're in order of appearance so i'll be able to read and then if i still don't know what the word is then i can like refer to this and then see if it helps me out so i think i'm gonna try doing that and like see if that helps and then move on to my next french la cabin magique book uh i did i finished with holly jolly divali which i let you know and then i was reading undercover no not undercover what is it the fourth book in the bromance book club series isn't it romantic that's what it is sorry my oven is preheated now but i already put my potatoes in it's going to do this for a while though because it wants me to open the oven but i already did i was too impatient anyways i started with uh isn't it romantic and i'm like a decent way through but i kind of want to move on to one of my christmas books that i have because i filmed my december tbr yesterday and i have so many like christmas books to read so i would really like to actually read them and get to them during the holidays but i also have like blogs that i'm going to be doing for christmas and everything so i'm not going to be able to read christmas books the entire holiday season and also i feel like i might get overwhelmed by that so i feel like i kind of want to get head start and continue with some of my more festive reads or maybe i'll continue with isn't it romantic i don't really know i am liking it though so maybe i should continue with it because it's going by very quickly i don't really know what i want to do but yeah happy sunday i am going to watch some of my french paw patrol while i make my breakfast now so i just had my dinner but i just wanted to close out this week's vlog for you guys so i finished with two books here i haven't done my reread of this one yet but i did finish with a holly jolly diwali by sonia lolly which i ended up finding it it fell off the couch and in between charlie's ramp in the black basket of blankets i can't speak i filmed five videos today so i'm just absolutely spent but i need to go and edit this one so that it can go up tomorrow so my day is not quite over yet but yeah i finished with this one and i finally found it and i did really like it and then i also finished with the french version of dinosaurs before dark which is really exciting charlie just wants to sit in my lap he doesn't really care about anything else that's happening right now don't you you just want to cuddle but i am going to be doing my reread of this with like my little notes of all the words that i didn't know but yeah i did finish with it so thank you guys so much for watching this week's reading vlog i hope you enjoyed and i will see you next week with another one bye i know you just want me to pet you you're like why did you stop please do it
