DIML VLOG - (barnes trip, giveaway winners, reading slump + more!)

A Day in the Life of a Content Creator: A Long and Eventful Day

I'm not kidding that took literally over an hour I ended up going through the picker for some and then i got distracted by all of the notes i chose all the winners through the random picker but then i was going through them and i saved a few really sweet messages you guys sent me which is so nice first of all thank everyone thank you to everyone that sent me a message entered the giveaway and watches my videos so nice of you guys.

The day began with a random generator, where I aimed to find some names for my next giveaway. The process took over an hour and was quite frustrating at times, but I finally managed to get through it. However, things didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. Instead of getting the desired results, the website kept crashing on me. I'm not kidding that took literally over an hour. Despite the technical difficulties, I persevered and eventually managed to find some names.

I also shared a story about how long it took for me to get through the random generator. The process was so slow that I had almost given up by the time I finished. However, the end result was worth it - I finally got to share all the sweet messages you guys sent me with my winners. These messages were some of the highlights of my day and made everything worth the wait.

Some of the names I found through the random generator included Rochelle Carrillo, Caitlyn Vasey, Sophia Cabrini, Sabrina Lou, Danica Tranby, Chloe Carpenter, and Selena Wall. Each name was accompanied by a brief description of how they won the giveaway or what I sent them as a result of their win.

I also took some time to apologize for any mistakes I may have made while choosing the winners. Despite my best efforts, I'm afraid I might have gotten some names wrong. However, I want to assure you that I did my best and chose the winners fairly.

Throughout the day, I was also working on other projects. I had planned out a few videos for August and was excited to start filming them. Some of these videos included reading vlogs, sit-down videos, and more. I'm really looking forward to sharing these with you all in the coming weeks.

As the day came to a close, I couldn't help but feel grateful for all the amazing messages you guys sent me. It's moments like these that remind me why I love being a content creator - it's the opportunity to connect with all of you and share my passions with the world.

The rest of my evening was spent waiting for my mirror to arrive. However, when it finally did, I realized that it wasn't quite what I had expected. Instead of being tall and slender, my new mirror is small and compact. I'm not sure if this will work out in the end, but I'm willing to try.

I also took some time to relax and unwind after a long day of work. I lay down with a book and began reading, enjoying the quiet moment to myself before the chaos of tomorrow returned. Despite feeling a bit stressed about an upcoming blood test, I couldn't help but feel grateful for all that I had accomplished in the past few weeks.

As the night drew to a close, I bid farewell to my readers. It's been a long and eventful day, but I'm grateful to have shared it all with you. Thank you for watching, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds - whether that's on this channel or elsewhere.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys welcome or welcome back to my channel good morning today i'm gonna be bringing you with hold on let me bring you along with me for my day this started off as a chill day of my life like that was my idea for today's vlog and somehow i've written down everything i have to do today and it is not a chill day so i don't know what happened there well it started because i'm getting my stitches out of my wrist yay and this doctor is over by like a really big barn so i wanted to go over there but i want to go to barnes first then the doctor i've been in a really big reading slump that we'll get into later but i need total barns i know i have a lot of books on my tbr cart but i just i think it'll help me maybe oh i want to sign up for the gym so i told myself when i get this cast off of my stitches off i am going back to the gym now that i'm graduated i'm not going back to school all i do is just work and sit home and i'm like lazy i want to make that a routine so i'm going to sign up for the gym i'm picking my giveaway winners today so that should be fun to ten winners we're gonna pick them choose them together so you guys could see how it goes i'm getting a new mirror delivered there's a big mirror here you guys definitely know what which mirror it is this huge one i've had since i've redid my room in like 2019 some of you have been here since then but i love this mirror i'm gonna keep it for when i ever move out of this house but it's so big it doesn't really go with what i want my room to look like so i ordered a new mirror from amazon it comes today so i'm very excited to see what it looks like i would need to plan my august video i didn't put perfume on yet so i'll show you some new dossier perfumes very excited about these so they show the last of the new ones that i have this is the box that comes in you get a little paper with the name of it the notes and what's inspired by and then this one is woody sage that sounds fun and then the other one i have is laurel lavender if you haven't heard of dossier they reproduce classic high-end luxury scents at a fraction of the price keeping the exact same high quality by cutting all the expenses and the infamous brand tax i love dogs here if you've been on this channel you guys would know that i only gave me the perfumes but i genuinely every single day put on their perfume is my favorite as you guys know is musky green tea but they have so many combinations they also have a risk risk-free system so you can try the perfumes before you commit to them which is amazing it helps so much because you can't smell the perfume through the screen so you know if you don't like it and change it out the perfumes are also so affordable twenty nine dollars in retail when like these programs are inspired by such famous scents that are so expensive that range from like 50 to 280 and you get such amazing scents for such a good price you get free returns and exchanges forever which is also amazing like i said if you don't like your perfume you can switch it out find one that you love they also great bulk deals on their website up to 25 off and free shipping for three or more bottles and they also always take like new suggestions and stuff from customers so if you're ever like feeling any kind of set you can let them know that's also very fun so let's try woody sage first that smells really good it smells like i don't want to describe perfume sense guys i can't even explain it it smells good what's the word i'm looking for like a richer set not very like an airy one does that make sense probably not okay floral lavender i'm very excited oh that smells good guys you need floral lavender or just eat it oh my god that smells delicious let me add it to my dossier collection i literally have so many and i go between them every day i just choose which one i'm feeling i want to go to barnes first because i want to just like go hang out and read there and like start my day there kind of it's like bigger so there's like seating and stuff i could roam read i think i want to bring a tote today like why not you know let's choose a tote together i have somehow accumulated like an unhealthy amount of totes over the past few months let's choose a tote this one is my tried and true this is my first tote i'm obsessed with it this is from folio bookshop just feed your mind i love the green so this is a high contender there's also stuff in here so gum this is another one my first one this is from i guess we're doing a tote haul shop olive lin it says romanticize your life a bunch of times this one says i'm all booked this one was so cute got this from like a publishing company i'm pretty sure brooklyn this is my legit favorite one just the way all of the words are spelled out maybe i'll do that one only hot girls read yes you it says at the bottom it's from powerdesigns on instagram so cute this one is from i have another one but it's downstairs it's love another words tote can you imagine this is heart bones from enlightened silko love that company you guys have seen so many things i've gotten from her she has a lot of books stuff now so that's a cute toe i used this i went to the beach the other day and i brought that one with me and then i have this darker one which i feel like is fun from my management and i feel like navy is fun but i think i'm gonna do the brooklyn one like how could i not switch out i hate switching backs like putting all your stuff i'm just lazy so i just hate switching out like my wallet oh my god into a gas my wallet my chapstick my money my keys like that's it's not a lot i'm just lazy i am currently reading six of crows so yeah i'll get into what's going on with me later but that's where i'm at right now i'm ready to go all right coffee barns doctor our first three steps that are crucial to the day and then we'll figure out the rest later let's go but i was in a nightmare searching in the dark but i couldn't find you there were footsteps coming down the hallway but when i turned around it wasn't you i was looking at myself i couldn't see my face but deep down i knew it was true shadows handed me a question if i ever lost you what would i do what would i do what would woke up from my premonition i couldn't feel your warmth i couldn't find you so i flipped all i ran into the kitchen i found a little note saying i'll be back soon hello guys i just left barnes i'm gonna run to starbucks right now because i am hungry it's 12 40 and i have 20 minutes before my appointment but i'm starving so i might be a little late you know what at least i won't be hungry at barnes i had four books in my hand i was there for a while but i needed a new book i've been so over a romance right now i don't know why i just feel like i need something new i had four books in my hand at one point it was funny before we were strangers booked on a feeling and then the secret history those two romances sounded really good but i've just been so slumped right now so i put those down i was like you can only get one book you have so much on your tbr car you have so many books you've been read on your kindle and everything i don't need four books right now i want them but i'm having self-control i cannot keep buying books so i bought the secret history i thought that was the best for what i want right now i guess i feel like being in a slump i don't want romance to put those two down and then bunny sounded a little weird i'm like intrigued by it but i don't know if i want to read it so i got the secret history it sounds interesting my slump i don't know if it's because i've been filming videos and like my most recent one was the time screen one so like i read a lot in that week and i just read so many different books and i just like and now i can't get into one and it's really bothering me because i literally started i think four or five books yesterday i just couldn't get into them i was like so upset so i was like okay maybe i'll just reread one of the books i love i feel so guilty when i do that because i have so many books on my cart and just like in my tbr and books physical books that i have to read but i'm like i want to get to them so bad i feel like i have to get to them so like rereading a book i just feel guilty because i have other books that like i should read but i was like if i just choose a book that i love maybe it'll be better so i did that i was gonna reread love in other words but i literally like even that romance i just couldn't do just saying something so i picked up six of crows i wanted to record a kingdom but i was like why don't i just start from the beginning so that's what i did i'm reading it i'm about 150 pages in i'm loving it because obviously i love the characters and stuff and it just feels good to read a book that i love i think for the rest of august today is august 24th and i think there's like i don't know how many more days but i'm just going to finish reading this duology before i film what i read in august because i just couldn't start a new book it's just no book i'm not even kidding would interest me i hate being in a slump it makes me feel so upset so that's why i went to barnes too because i was like maybe i'll just get a new book maybe it'll inspire me i don't know but i did get the secret history let me know if you've read this i don't really think about me is i won't i feel like a lot of people when they see like a quote on instagram like a book page posts one of the quotes they really like they'll read it and then they'll want to read that book if i see a quote on my instagram page i scroll right past it actually no if i see it i'll look in the caption of what book it is and if i haven't read it i won't read the quote because i feel like it'll ruin the book for me like i like to go into books blind i like to know what it's about like to see goodreads ratings slash reviews sometimes but if i hear anyone's review is bad or even just good like it'll make my whole point of view of the book going into it and just like my preconceived thoughts just so different than what i want so i like to go into books blind so i've seen this many places do i know what it's about not really i did read the back of it in the goodreads whatever but i don't like reading personal reviews and i don't like spoiling literally anything about books before i go into them so that's my thing i feel like it's fun there are some times that i don't do that but most of the time i do so fun fact at starbucks then i'm gonna go to the hand doctor so fun i will see you after hello guys i'm home now and i got packages put a new book on my book cart i think this video was coming out after me reorganized my bookshelves my book card so you guys have already seen it but i got two packages from amazon and i didn't order anything other than my mirror this should be interesting shut up i just added this to my amazon wishlist because i read the car's apartment by lucy foley and i was like dying to read this one because i've seen it like everywhere and the note says hey bestie please read this and tell me if it's good because i trust your opinion this book's been on my tbr ate maddie's on insta so i'm gonna go yum yum but thank you for sending this to me i've been dying to read this too so i will read it and i will let you know my opinion i don't know why honestly probably seeing someone do like a thriller video maybe this will be in it how fun is that okay and one more why are you here by brianna jean book one in this series and this is fro it just says from julia okay if you sent me this please let me know i can dm you love being introduced or like being told of your guys's favorite like series and stuff that i've never heard of is what it looks like we'll cover very interesting party in the hollywood hills a perfectly timed smoke break a chance encounter sounds very interesting i will add it to my tbr card as well okay let me show you my cart right now because i did like switch around some stuff for my last video so i think i want to put all the books i'm going to film in a video together these are all romances so let me add the ones that i just got i did also just get the two of us i taylor taurus i don't know if i put this in a video the dead romantics but i just recently received that one and then bestie destiny has been sending me the best books ever for hitting 100k she is literally my book fairy all right those are all for a video so i signed up for the gym i'm so silly and i realized you don't have to go to the gym to sign up you can do it from your phone nowadays so i did sign up online i'm gonna go tomorrow and start so now we are gonna pick giveaway winners i haven't checked the sheet that i sent out the google sheet i don't know exactly how i'm gonna do it what i was thinking is i'm just gonna go through them just so i could like see what everyone's responses were and then copy and paste it into like a random generator and like go through 10 times which i get 10 winners because last time i did in dms like i got so many dm's and it's somewhere like requested i have hidden requests so sometimes i like look in there like some dms get literally just lost i don't do that i want it to be fair for everyone because i don't know how instagram chooses like what dms get put and requested and which ones go to general which ones go to hidden like if i still look i check every single dm so let's find the sheet i don't even know how to find it i need a new camera you can't see that but my camera's on its last like i wish i could show you the flip up part what it's called like the viewfinder part the part where i can like see myself where i'm staring myself right now is literally it's missing a screw so it's about to pop off which is not good i also got my stitches out probably don't want to see that but like my wrist i don't have a cast done so i'm going to put them all in a random generator hopefully everyone did it correctly and only put one response in so that it's also fair for everyone and then writing that everyone has like their instagram handle or some way for me to contact everyone so i'm gonna put this video who wanted stuff oh it made me a spreadsheet okay that was like really easy i'm also gonna read through them probably just so like you guys have said such sweet messages so i'm gonna put it into a random generator and see what happens okay so i'm gonna highlight all of it and hopefully this works i've only done a giveaway this way like once when i hit it it was like 13 000 subscribers i remember like very early random generator i'm just gonna go to the first one wheel of names babe there's gonna be a lot of names i'm about to break this website okay so that didn't work okay ah hi i'm not kidding that took literally over an hour i ended up going through the picker for some and then i got distracted by all of the notes i chose all the winners through the random picker but then i was going through them and i saved a few really sweet messages
