fall week in my life!!! 🎧🎃🍵🍂 (concerts, fall activities, reading updates + more!)

### A Day in the Life: Thoughts, Reflections, and Plans

#### Morning Routine and Gym Trip

This morning started with a trip to the gym. Despite feeling tired from lack of sleep, I decided to push through and hit the gym. The night before, I had been awake until late, watching episodes of *Gilmore Girls*. It’s always interesting how certain shows can keep you hooked, even after all these years. After the gym, I went home to wash my hair because it was one of those days where you just know your hair needs a good washing. There’s something about that feeling—knowing your hair needs attention—that makes you want to tackle it head-on.

#### Sleepy Hollow Trip Postponed

Originally, I had planned for Chris and me to go on a little day trip to Sleepy Hollow, New York. We were looking forward to exploring the town, which is famous for its ties to the legend of the Headless Horseman. It’s always exciting to plan these trips, especially during fall when everything looks so cozy and picturesque. However, Chris woke up feeling unwell this morning, so we had to postpone our plans. While I was initially disappointed, I understand that his health comes first. Plus, there are still other opportunities to visit Sleepy Hollow later.

#### The Struggle with Reading Slumps

I’ve been trying to get into reading again lately, but it’s been a bit of a struggle. I started *Lovely War* by Sarai Gonzalez on my Kindle, borrowed from the library, and managed to get through about 50 pages so far. It’s a mix of mythology and romance, and while I’m enjoying it, I can’t help but feel like I’m in a bit of a reading slump. I find myself struggling to stay engaged with books lately, which is frustrating because I used to love getting lost in stories. Maybe it’s just a phase, or maybe it’s something else—I’m not sure.

#### Reflections on *The Zodiac Academy*

In addition to *Lovely War*, I’ve also been listening to the second book in the *Zodiac Academy* series on audiobook during my daily commute and while doing chores around the house. The story is intense, with a lot of twists and turns that keep me hooked. However, it’s not without its flaws. There are moments where the plot feels convoluted, and I find myself zoning out for a second or two. But then something happens—a scene so jarring, so unexpected—that brings me back to the story. It’s like trying to describe it would ruin the surprise, but suffice it to say, *Zodiac Academy* knows how to keep its listeners hooked.

#### The Emotional Impact of Loss

Yesterday, I received some shocking news that left me feeling emotional for most of the day. Liam Payne, a member of One Direction, passed away. For those who don’t know, One Direction was a huge part of my childhood and teenage years. I met some of my best friends through our shared love of the band, and we still go to concerts together to this day. Hearing about Liam’s passing felt like a punch in the gut. It’s surreal to think that someone so young could pass away, especially when you’re used to thinking of them as part of your own youth.

#### Fashion Haul and Outfit Plans

Speaking of emotions, I’ve been trying to channel mine into other creative outlets—like fashion. Over the past few weeks, I’ve accumulated quite the haul of new clothing items. From a cozy oversized hoodie with a camo print (a personal favorite) to a plaid skirt from Hollister, I’m excited about how versatile these pieces are for fall styling. My go-to outfit lately has been my new gray hoodie paired with black leggings and sneakers—it’s comfortable yet stylish, perfect for running errands or spending a cozy day at home.

#### Book Club Updates and Editing Plans

As someone who loves books and reading, I’m also excited about our upcoming book club meeting. We’re currently voting on the next book we’ll read as a group—November is just around the corner! I’ve been trying to wrap up my editing for the latest reading Vlog, which should be ready for the Patreon soon. It’s always bittersweet seeing my content come together and then hitting that publish button, but knowing that others enjoy it makes it all worth it.

#### Eye Doctor Appointment and Fall Plans

Later today, I have an eye doctor appointment scheduled. It’s something I’ve been putting off for far too long—ever since I started noticing how difficult it is to see clearly at night while driving. The appointment will include a standard exam, but I’m also looking into getting blue light protection for my glasses, as I spend so much time in front of screens for work and pleasure. After that, Chris and I are planning to grab dinner at our favorite spot—pizza and a Yankees game on TV always hit the spot.

#### Final Thoughts

All in all, it’s been an eventful few days filled with both highs and lows. From emotional reflections on loss to excitement about new books and fashion finds, there’s never a dull moment. I’m looking forward to tackling my reading slump head-on, continuing my podcast editing, and planning fun fall activities with Chris. Life may not always go as planned—like our postponed Sleepy Hollow trip—but that’s part of what makes it so interesting.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone welcome or welcome back to my channel I'm so sorry if this dishwasher is annoying we just started and it's kind of loud but welcome to today's video we're going to be doing a fun little week in my life a fall week in my life casual little week in my life it is Monday I went to the gym this morning around like 9:00 I woke up a little early and read some of my book and I didn't film at the gym I don't think I'm ever going to be comfortable enough to film at the gym it's also a new one that I've been going to recently and I've really been enjoying it like a lot I feel like I've been having really good workouts and just like having my own mental space time and like personal time on my own quiet time feels really good so didn't record anything there because I am nervous to do that guess what today is today is Gracie day Gracie was performing in New York while I was in Texas or coming home from Texas and then one of the dates was rescheduled to today so I never ended up getting tickets but then bestie Amber messaged me and she said she couldn't go to the rescheduled date you know she has pork and stuff if I wanted to take it she had two tickets and I was like let me ask my friend so Kay is coming along with me and I'm so excited I did say I'll get Amber some merch or something send her some songs cuz I feel so bad she's missing it cuz I know how exciting it is going to concerts and if it's like rescheduled and it just doesn't work out to go to the new date it's so sad so we're going to have a really fun night tonight but I have a lot of work to do before that and also I have the dentist at 12 which not fun I hate going to the dentist but in the meantime I'm going to go continue reading our book club book I'm reading Pumpkin Spice Cafe right now I started it last night it's really really quick it's so fast-paced it's very reminiscent and takes a lot of inspiration from Gilmore Girls which I recently started which we can talk about later I feel like I'm almost done with season one which is exciting cuz I feel like I've been watching it for a while but it's like a bedtime show I always fall asleep to it so I don't really get many episodes in we can chat all that later I'm going to go continue reading hello everyone long time no talk right now it is 4:00 I have to leave around 5:45 but I want to eat dinner before so I'm going to get my makeup all situated now and pick out an outfit so that after I eat I can just leave so one thing about me when I go to concerts I cannot rest I need to know the set list I need to know everything that's happening so I've been listening to the set list for the past few days since I found out I was going and I am so excited like my top number one song on my Spotify rap last year was feels like by Gracie and it's on the set list I actually so excited I don't know how that became my top song of last year I guess I went through a phase of listening to it non-stop it is one of my favorite songs but there's so many good ones I'm excited for every single song on here I'm so just excited so let's do some makeup but I haven't been to a concert since pull and I'm really excited I thought I only had one concert left this year so this is going to be really really fun I just love concerts I love anything that's like a memory so like we can leave and like talk about it all have videos of it and also just seeing your favorite artist is like so cool I went to I don't know if anyone listens to the giggly Squad podcast I don't I watch like little Clips if it comes on my Tik Tok but I went with Chris's sister and her friend and Danny last weekend on Friday because they listened to it so I was like yeah I'm totally down he in Atlantic City I'm always down for something like that cuz I feel like again an opportunity to make memories and just see something live and I don't know it was really fun T burner and Paige dorbo and they were really really funny but I recently did that and I'm just really excited to go to a concert I one thing about me I love concerts I think we all know this now like I said I took my everything shower and I started using this lotion that you can put on like daily let me get it this isn't sponsored at all it actually was sponsored from a video I saw and then B off of that but it's the B body gradual tanning butter in the video it's just like a lotion and they're just putting on as a lotion but the more you add it it like gradually makes you Tanner instead of like self tanning and washing it off like you just put this on as a lotion after you shower I've been using it for like a week now I don't have like a 100% confirmed obsessed with this yet but I can confirm that it's working I've been using it like just lotion and I stopped using it for a few days because I feel like it gave me a bit of a glow and I didn't need to add anymore really been enjoying this cuz I don't really love the feel of self tanner use the loving tan one but sometimes I don't want to do the whole self tan routine so I saw this and it's been working really well recently so if you're with me and you don't love self tanner this has been really fun I can't believe I'm going to see the free now bridge in person like you're kidding I need to play that why am I not playing any music right now what's crazy is like I will smile and dance to the saddest songs but I'm so excited one of the sad things though is I don't think role model is going to be there and he's who's opening for Gracie's tour but since this is a rescheduled date I think the tour was like or his part of the tour was over so I saw he posted that like thanking Gracie for being on tour and everything and I don't think he's going to be there and I'm really upset about it like he is so funny and I was so excited to see him perform and perform with her but yeah I don't think he's going to be there and that is really sad but that's okay I also need to get another one of this when I stopped doing my lash extensions this was the first mascara I bought after the roller lash the benefit one but I got the mini one and I think it's about to be empty now I think I've used it all up okay I need some lip gloss but that's in my bag downstairs I'm going to fix up my hair a little I think I'm just use the little curling attachment stuff and then figure out an outfit eat some dinner be on my way I literally am so excited here's the shirt that I bought my plan was a little black skirt with this pink long sleeve and then a black bow in my hair and black boots it's just plain pink long sleeve but again I don't know if I want to wear the skirt I think I'm going to try it all on and if I don't like it I'll wear I have like a pink little offthe shoulder top instead of this with some jeans in the bow but fingers cross the skirt looks cute and then I'll just like suffer the wind and the cold it's going to be really cold walking around but sometimes you just have to sacrifice that because the outfit is more important okay I think this is what I'm going with I have this little black skirt from Princess Polly and I think I'm going to do this top from Princess Polly it's like a light pink I don't really like the way the long sleeve looks and I wanted to wear a cardigan cuz again it's chilly out so I have the black Old Navy cardigan on top and my little princess Polly boots but this is a scirt so I feel good walking around in this I literally hear the wind from in here it is so windy out my hair is going to get so messed up but I put a little bow I don't know if you can see it a little black and white bow I think the bow really makes it but I think this is cute I have everything from my closet and have to buy anything I'm probably going to return that long sleeve now but this was the first outfit I put on and that never happens usually I change my outfit at least 10 times so proud of myself for this one I think it's cute I know it's going to be chilly when we walk but I'm ready to go I'm going to eat dinner and then I'll be on my way oh my God I'm literally ecstatic the the feeling play I good morning everyone it is now Tuesday today is just a chill work day I woke up at like 7:00 to start working because I had a lot to do this morning but I went to the gym at like 9ish it's now like after 12:00 it's 12:18 I had a meeting at 11:00 so I've been just doing a bunch of stuff this morning I just ate one of these little go Macaro bars I used to eat these like all the time in college I'm trying to find some protein bars that I really like I tried the um Power Crunch ones and I really did not like that at all but I used to eat these and then I also used to love the cliff bar so these are my favorite this one's more chewy I don't know if anyone is into protein bars if you guys have any that you like I have this one I like sometimes the barbell ones but they're like too thick sometimes like I feel like when I'm eating this halfway through I'm already full from this it's like so thick I'm like don't want anymore but they taste really good these are my favorite they're really chewy and I usually don't like chewy bars but it feels like a jaw workout when I'm eating it but it's my favorite so I got a few of these from Trader Joe's some bars to try and I have some delivering today I saw someone posting about these bars I forgot the name of them they should be delivering today they're from I don't know how to say the brand name mesla it's a puff crispy bar it says which I feel like I would like the texture of this one I'm a big texture person when I say I'm a picky eater it's because a lot of textures I don't like so I got this one it looks like that and it should be delivering today so maybe we'll try that after my meeting I just just walked the girls and I just ordered my dad and sent him a birthday gift his birthday is this week so I just shipped him something for his birthday I got him well I guess I could say it now because this is a week in my life he should know by the time this is out I got him one of those books that you personalize for your birthday you give them the date of birth that you were born and then every year in this booklet it shows you like news headlines from your birthday every single year and I thought that was really fun so I got him that for his birthday and it WR like happy birthday dad on it which I thought was cool cuz I feel like it's hard getting a father birthday gift or gift in general it's like what what do you get them I usually get them like a picture frame of us or something like personalized I love doing gifts though I feel like gift giving is one of my favorite languages but I usually like to see them open the gifts like that's the best part so I won't see him open it but hopefully he'll just FaceTime me after and be like this is a great gift hopefully he likes it I don't know I just randomly bought it I thought it was really cool but yeah today is the season finale of tell me lies it's the last episode for the season I'm like fingers crossed hoping they get picked up for a third season because there's no way they're going to be answering all the questions we need answered today so we're going to have a tell me lies watch party later we need to watch this together I need some moral support while we're watching this cuz I feel like if it's not a crazy episode I'm going to be so upset because there's so much that's happening and so many questions that need to be answered and so many Theory circling that I'm like I don't even know what's true or not anymore and then the concert yesterday I had so much fun I will say usually going into the city usually for concerts we go to mass and squore garden which is right on top of the train station we go into Penn Station so for this one was Radio City so we had to get in there and then we were going to walk to the train station that was was our not the train station walk to the concert that was our plan I got in my car the train station from my house usually 45 minutes and then the actual train ride is only like 10ish minutes maybe even less it's a really quick ride so we like to drive there and take a short train so we're not on the train for too long I get in my car I put it in the navigation guess how long it says it was going to take me to get there an hour and 20 minutes and I was like okay I'm pushing it we're going to have to take a later train that's totally fine I'm driving it keeps going up it ended up being like an hour and 40 minutes in the car it was it would have been easier for me to drive into the city to the concert than taking the train it was just like rush hour traffic there was an accident like there was a lot happening that was crazy we're coming from two different locations cuz Kay lives somewhere else in like a different town so it was just crazy um so we ended up having to take a taxi to the concert because we were not going to make it if we walked we got there exactly at 8:00 which was perfect timing because she got on at 8:30 we had just enough time to go to the bathroom and grab a snack the merch line was so long and it was so good like her vocals in like real life I wish she sang with this like on her songs I feel like on her albums like her voice is so stunning and beautiful and her songs are very like mellow a lot of them like in person the way that she changes some of the tunes and the way that she sings some of the words are just so stunning like I want an album I want a live album from her concert like there's some of the notes that she was singing that were just so beautiful and she is just such an angel like she's an angel princess she was wearing this like sparkly skirt or sparkly dress and she just looks so stunning and she just sang beautifully we heard all the most amazing songs it was so much fun and then I got bestie Amber who who so kindly let me buy the her tickets off of her some merch I didn't end up getting any but we ended up going during one of the songs during the concert to grab some merch because that was just the easiest way to do it I got her this one and I wanted to show it just cuz I wanted to show how cute her merch is I feel like a lot of times at concerts I go to the merch is never like that good I feel like the merch teams that they do are just do the bare minimum basic designs but this is really cute and she had really cute stuff this says crew neck and says felt good about you I don't I think the design is really cute I like the blue on the gray and then on the back it says till I didn't and then it says Gracie abrs Tour on the bottom I think this is so adorable so I'm going to ship this out to Amber this week and then I came home this morning from the gym to a package I thought we can open it together cuz it feels like it's going to be a book but I didn't order any book so I'm not sure what it's going to be ooh this is something that could make me cry this is Alice's new release I'm acting like I didn't know this was coming they did message me a few weeks ago I was like would you like an early copy of this and the quickest yes that ever came out of my mouth or through my DMs oh oh my God I am ecstatic wait I can actually cry over this I'm so excited if you don't know who Alice FY is she's one of my favorite mystery thriller authors this is her newest release I'm actually going to the signing of this which I think is in January let me see when this actually comes out because I thought it came out soon oh my God it comes out January 14th the cover is also really really setting I love the way that the words kind of are shiny and it has a little rip in the middle I don't really know exactly what it's about but on the back it says her best book yet by Haren cin and I never read a book by Harland cin but he has so many mystery books but but if you remember I don't know if I ever talked about it I feel like I definitely did me and Chris went on a binge on all of Harlen coin's like adaptations from his books onto Netflix like he has a lot on there and they're really really good really entertaining oh my God I'm so excited wait what is this about this day was really looking up I literally worked out this morning to motion sickness smallest man who ever lived mirror ball I don't really know what was going on this morning I just listening to some sad music while I was working out sometimes you have those days this just turned my day around I'm so excited you guys have no idea how much I love Alice and her writing I cannot wait to go to her signing and just be like I love you in your work I'm going to go edit a video for the patreon and then I'm going to finish our book club book and the reading Vlog for this for the patreon and then I also I'm going to start editing a reading Vlog that I have to finish up like after I film this clip I'm going to finish that up so I have a lot of editing to do I want to finish up this book I don't have a lot left I think I have about I'd say a little over 100 pages but it goes so quick this book is so fast-paced Here Comes the Sun Here Comes the Sun okay perfect timing I'm about to make lunch and the bars the little protein bars I bought have delivered so I thought we could try them together so I got the hot chocolate one they have different ones I think they have like a pistachio one and a nut one but I decided to get the hot chocolate one it's all plant protein too which I like and it says there's 10 g of protein looks just like the picture M why is it kind of spicy oh there's chipotle pepper in here that's interesting it's really good it actually does taste like a drinking a hot chocolate but with like the little rice krispy like crunchy things on top that's what it kind of tastes like but I don't know why there's chipotle pepper in here because I don't like spicy things it's like an aftertaste of spice which is such an interesting thing but I like the texture cuz it's kind of crunchy with the top of it but the chocolate is delicious not sponsored at all but I'm definitely going to eat these These are really good that was literally all I had to say I'm going to go make a sandwich and then continue editing and I'll see yall later it was a fun little snack intermission hey guys he's the chef of the house it's 11:59 I'm so excited I actually have no idea what's going to happen in this episode and I'm really really nervous the ending of last week's episode was crazy this crazy every time I watch the show I need to watch it sitting up you're lying oh my God that was such a crazy way to start the show we literally 5 minutes in like with a recap I can't even imagine like what are we going to find out during this episode this is horrible every decision that's being made is just the worst one always this is not going to end well red underwear placing can I ask you something and we're only halfway oh my God hello everyone happy Wednesday last night the tell me lies finale was insane there were a couple things that I feel like I knew was going to happen but my jaw was gasping and dropping every like 5 minutes it was insane the ending of course had a cliffhanger and I'm like fingers crossed hoping they have another season because it just so much was happening and every single decision that everyone made was just like mindboggling baffling and especially one of our main characters Lucy like all of her decisions so far that started when she got to that college has just snowballed into something huge like the first 5 minutes of what she was doing was just insane because that aired at 12:00 a.m. last night I didn't fall asleep till like 2: a.m. but I went to the gym this morning at like 8:00 I woke up around 7:00 so I could start working a little but I wanted to go to the gym a little bit early so I had some time to go over to another town to work outside of the house today and I want to return the urban dress that I bought I have a dress and then I bought these like little hair bow things that I want to return over at Urban and then I want to stop at Sephora on my way home to grab my perfume I need mascara and I'm going to return on my way my long sleeve my pink long sleeve I don't think I'm ever going to wear this it's a bit seethrough that's why I didn't want to wear it to the Gracie concert so it's from Amazon I'm going to return that though and then stop at a coffee shops just work for a few hours I'm going to edit my reading Vlog that should be out by now but I'm going to start editing that one today and then I don't know what book I want to start I have like no reading Vlogs going right now so I brought with me winter garden by Kristen Hannah I tried to start in my dreams I hold a knife last night but I got like 20 pages in I don't know if I wanted to read a book like that and then I didn't start the Alice one because I'm so excited to read it I don't want my expectations to be like so high so I'm going to let myself cool down from that and then start it probably over the weekend or next week so I'm going to get through a couple other books or try to before I start that one so I have Winter Garden here I'm going to maybe start that one I also just brought my Kindle I have a few books downloaded on here I have lovely War just came in from my library I borrowed it so I definitely want to start that one really soon maybe we'll start that one today and then I also have another dark Gothic book from the same author K Lake as the recent book I've read NOC deadia so I'm in the mood for one of the three I don't know what I'm I'm going to start what I'm going to read or if I'll have time at the coffee shop because we're recording a podcast episode later today so I have a few hours to kill I would like to get a lot of editing done so I want to edit outside of the house cuz I feel like sometimes it's good for a change of scenery I'm always just sitting in my room when I edit so we're going to try to find a coffee shop to sit at and work a bit there just just finished editing it's time to find somewhere to sit and read and I think there's a bookstore up here so that's where I'm headed hello everyone I am now back home it's about 3:20 I had to leave so that we could do the podcast I didn't end up going to Sephora because I realized tomorrow I have an eye doctor appointment and that's in the mall and of course there's a Sephora in the mall so I'm just going to wait to do that tomorrow so I had more time to edit and read I had such a wonderful time I've come to realize over the past maybe couple years I really love spending like a day with myself and just by myself and having alone me time but like adventuring out of the house and going to a coffee shop and going to edit and like just do my own thing and I grabbed a slice of pizza like I just had a day to myself and I love that so much like there is nothing like spending time with myself spending my time over there and doing my own thing today was just like so fun and I loved it so much so I did end up going to Urban I returned the dress and all the other stuff and yeah of course I came home with more stuff I I you know I love shopping sue me I love it I love buying new clothes I got this little long sleeve I thought this was so cute it has like little lace around the front and the little buttons but I thought this would be cute with like little lowrise jeans and UGGs very falles outfit and the material is really really soft it's not like cotton I don't know what this is then I got this little mini black skirt the one that I have from Princess Polly is really cute but it's really really thick and then the waistband of it is really like scrunchy like has like a scrunched effect around it so I want just like a plain one and again it's a squirt so that's really really nice and then the last thing I got is this little black it's technically a romper but I think it's just a dress with shorts underneath it like you can't tell it's a romper it's just a plain black mini dress I don't have any just plain black dresses since I'm starting to wear skirts and sweaters more I thought it would be cute to wear a little black dress with like Uggs or sneakers and a cardigan or throw a sweater on top of it I really think this would be fun and I can wear like a bunch of different outfits with it so that's what I got from Urban and then I have two packages over here so I went to aritzia recently and I returned a few things that I got I got like a sweatsuit and stuff but I returned it because the material of it it was like a little bit too thick and for how expensive their sweatsuits are I just didn't like it so I ended up returning that and then I bought a couple more things so this if you have seen my recent reading Vlog that I was editing today I wore this in many clips and this is my new favorite thing in the entire world it's like a fleece it's a half zip and I'm just obsessed with it it's long you can scrunch the bottom of it with these little like ties down here but the color is so cute I'm obsessed with this blue color I've been really really loving Blues like this and navies and wearing this the other day with my Navy biker shorts and my little sneakers like it was just so cute I've been wearing this like every single day since I got it and I'm pretty sure they have other colors in it but I thought the blue was really cute so let's open up this I'm pretty sure this is a long sleeve that I really liked when I was in the store but they didn't have my size it's just like a gray long sleeve but what I like is the neckline of it cuz you can wear it kind of like off the shoulder a little bit slouchy and again this is so cute with like little jeans little Uggs I love fall clothes fall fashion and wearing clothes and putting together outfits in the fall time is my favorite that's what I've recently got and then along with like skirts I really wanted a cute little fall type skirt so I got this plaid skirt from Hollister and I'm so excited hopefully it fits I really want to wear this weekend Chris and I doing something fun it's also a skirt which is a plus I don't like to wear mini skirts if there's not shorts underneath it but look how cute this is there's a little like tie bow belt little plated skirt I'm obsessed this is so cute a little black sweater black boots maybe black tights I finish up my Collective haul I got two new sweatshirts the one I'm wearing right now they're from abber cromie some of my favorite sweatshirts ever they're so comfortable I have a brown hoodie from them that's like one of my favorite sweatshirts ever I like this one because it feels oversized but the length of it isn't so it kind of like cuts at this length which I really like and then I know some people don't like camo but for me I'm obsessed with camo I think it's such a fun pattern so like I said I have the brown hoodie that I'm obsessed with and it came in this camo color and I was like you know what I love that so I just got this big camo hoodie the hoodies are Also Chris's favorite so we do share the brown hoodie and he's going to share this one with me he wore it the other day because they are just so comfortable that's my fall haul I love fall clothes like I said so I'm really excited to wear this stuff and now I'm going to go get ready to film the podcast we're doing a little spooky Stories episode which I'm excited about that'll be fun for spooky season obviously and then after that I don't really have any of plans tonight I'm just going to eat dinner relax read and just hang for the rest of the night so hello guys it is now um it's Thursday so yesterday why am I why am I crying I thought we can chat while I do my makeup and get ready for the day because I have to run to an eye doctor appointment soon but yesterday as soon as I finished recording the podcast we were done I was walking down the stairs and I got like three texts from people something that I don't really talk to every single day asking if I was okay heart dropped I was like yeah I'm okay like what are you talking about and then they broke the news that Liam Pain passed away and if you know anything about me if you've watched plenty of my videos if you listen to the podcast I have been Directioner like that was just such a visceral part my childhood and my teenage years and growing up and I've just been like so nauseous thinking about it like every time I think about it again that Liam Pain literally passed away I just like get so nauseous I met some of my best friends when I was like 12 years old through One Direction likeing One Direction K who I went to the concert with we bonded a dance class and have been friends ever since because of bonding over One Direction like we are still best friends to this day I still have best friends from all loving One Direction like going to the concerts together like me and K still go to concerts as you saw like to this day because of One Direction so again they were just a huge part of my growing up and like being a part of a fandom is like one of my favorite things and you guys know I talk about it all the time I love concerts there's nothing like being a part of a fandom with other people and that's all started because at One Direction like that was the first fandom I found I became a part of I met people through going to the concerts like just being obsessed over the same things together so I think it's just so insane I'm kind of like morning my childhood and my teenage years because I just like still can't believe he passed away and I thought I was going to be like well into my 60s when any of the members happened to have passed away like I just did not think it would have happened while I was 24 years old like I thought I should chat about it cuz that's why last night I didn't say anything this morning I was listening to One Direction on my way to the gym and like all these songs have just such a different meaning now like I don't think I can ever listen to their music the same again which is like so crazy cuz like they have been on my top artists since like discovering them like I remember where I was when I discovered One Direction I remember where I was when Z left the B and I will never forget where I was when I found out that Lam passed away it's sad but yeah today I just went to the gym I ate breakfast I need to finish editing the reading Vlog I have like only a few things left to do for that and I'm going to send that into the patreon and we're voting on our November book right now which is absolutely insane like I cannot believe we're already like going into November talking about our book club book for November like that's just insane to me and then I have an eye exam appointment at 11:30 which this appointment is very long overdue I finally made it this week and it's because when I'm driving specifically at night time like it's hard for me to see like I was driving home from the concert the other day and I was like no I need to make an appointment tomorrow and I did cuz when it's really dark and like seeing signs and like all the lights in my face I just can't see anything if it's very blurry it's not as bad during the day but it's really just like seeing far away while I'm driving that I'm concerned about so I'm going for an eye exam and then while I'm there I'm just going to stop at Sephora and then I'll probably stop at CVS cuz I need to ship out bestie Amber's crew neck so I'm going to ship that out and there's this walk scen right over there so I'm going to grab I need some new moisturizer my carave is about to be empty which is crazy because those cave bottles will last me so long and then Chris and I are going to get dinner later tonight which will be fun I started Winter Garden yesterday and I also tried starting like two other books and I think I'm getting into a slump which is like horrible I do not want to be in a slump right now so I think I might soff that for now I really wanted to get through my TBR this month but I don't know if I can get out of the slump I definitely will I think I'm going to try to start lovely War maybe that'll be better because I know it's kind of like mythology mixed into like a romance but the way it's told I've been told it's like really beautiful so I think I'm going start that on my Kindle again I Bor it from the library so I need to get to that soon anyway I also have been continuing to listen to the second zodiac Academy I actually only have I think 3 and 1 half hours left of listening time I'm like well over halfway I still feel like it's like kind of insane the plot like sometimes I'll be zoning out while I'm listening to it like when I drove yesterday I put it on for like the the drive over and I'll kind of zone out for a second and then something will happen in a scene and she like so jarring what's happening I can't even like describe to you what I was like listening to I can't even say except it'll probably be a spoiler but just know some of the scenes that's happening it's like like what what is this plot what is happening but where I'm at right now I feel like it's picking up and I feel like it has to because we're ending the book off we're about to get into the third book so I think I told myself I'm going to listen to this one see how it ends and then maybe listen to the third one and that's when I'll decide if I'll continue or not because the plot is so interesting like when I'm listening to it I'm entertained I'm like I cannot believe this is like the plot of the book so I think I'm going to continue it but I don't think it'll be my favorite at least right now I think this like second book is looking up to be a two star not a two star a three star just like the first one which isn't horrible but it's just not my favorite so I just keep thinking about it I just can't believe like saying the sentence Liam Payne died is like the most insane sentence ever like like imagine telling that to 12-year-old me I also told myself that I'm going to start getting ready every day like outfit wise cuz it makes me feel better I'm not going to come home from the gym and throw sweatpants on so that's why I put jeans on and my new shirt I feel like it makes me feel better when I like put myself together these are really good I just got home I'm uploading the reading Vlog right now just finished that up so here's a little haul of what I got you already know everything I got but I'm going to show anyway I got to I'm obsessed with this it smells so good I use it every single day multiple times a day so good got my brother lash I got the bigger one because I've been using the mini since like I said my lash extensions came off so got this one I want to try to telescopic again cuz that my like tried and true during like high school before I got my lash extensions on that was my favorite but didn't get that I got a new bentin little mini red like blush thing I used it on my lips I used it this morning if you guys saw when I was doing my makeup I used it kind of as like a lip tint and then I got my mom this lip velvet because she saw it on Instagram and she said she really wanted it so I got that for her hopefully she likes that I'm so annoyed I went to Walgreens to get my moisturizer and they only had the tub version not like the pump one maybe I can try to squeeze some of this into there cuz I like using the the pump I think it's just so convenient but either way got my moisturizer the body wash that I went with I didn't get any at Sephora because I did not want to spend like 20 plus dollars on some body wash so I got this one it's my favorite I got this usually at Target but I didn't know what body wash to get I feel like I'm not very picky on my body washes so got this one this is the method pure piece body wash and then I got a pack of gum this my favorite gum ever ice breakers the the cube ones and the spearmint these are delicious and if anyone was curious about the eye doctor experience I am getting glasses I'm picking them up later before Chris and I go to dinner we're going to grab them they had the frames that I wanted with like the prescription cuz my eyes right is not like bad by any means we did like the eye exam the eye test and the doctor was just like to see clearer and make it you feel better while you're driving you can wear them like anytime you want but specifically for when you're driving you feel like you cannot see basically it's for distance it's nothing crazy but I'm going to pick that up later and then they let me add blue light to them cuz I told them I work on my computer and constantly looking at a screen so if that was an option I took it back to glasses I wore glasses in high school to see the board from the back of the room and stuff and into college I wore them and then I just stopped wearing them I don't really know why but I kind of can notice it now and just cuz I stared a screen for so long I feel like my eyes just like need some help so that's my glasses experience I'll do a little glasses reveal later you can see which ones I chose I'm going to go listen to the podcast I'm going to make the little Instagram and post that to the Instagram and then probably try to read a bit I mean such a slump I don't want to read like at all which is so annoying cuz like I no I want to read but like picking up a book and like actually reading I just like I can't can't really get into anything so I don't really know what I'm going to do but I'm going to try to read after all of that hi guys hello besties happy Friday I went to the gym this morning I didn't get a good sleep last night I woke up randomly at like 2ish 3ish a.m. and I put on Gilmore Girls and I watched like two episodes of it I just could not sleep sleep it was so weird got home it was hair wash day so I just did my hair feel so much better when I do like a slick back because you know it's like that time of the day or the week to wash your hair but you need to go somewhere so you just slick it back like that's what I was doing but the feeling of like knowing my hair needs to be washed I hate that feeling so I was like ready to come home and wash it so I just did that and I've been planning on my computer Chris and I are doing a little day trip tomorrow to Sleepy Hollow New York which is just like a little town but they decorated it pretty cute for like the fall time sleep Hollow has like libraries and manners you can walk through and I love there's like the headless horsemen stuff that you can go see and the statue and the cemeteries and stuff so planning it over here so I'm going to make like a little checklist of what I want to do while we're there and just like things that we should see I started lovely war on my Kindle like I said I borrowed it from my library and I think I'm also like 50 pages into this one but I'm really enjoying it so far so I'm excited about that I'm going to go sit outside for a little and read a bit and then edit the video um later I'm getting dinner with my friend Chloe I don't know if any of you have met Chloe she's definitely been in a video way way long ago she's my best friend from we met in elementary school but she's the reason I even met Chris um we went to college together the first college before I transferred out she's been a bestie ever since and we haven't seen each other since January this year so we're going to get some dinner later I'm really excited to catch up with her it's been like way too long our lives are just like in totally different paths like she moved away to a different state for a little so it's been crazy but I'm so excited to see her later last night Chris and I want to dinner it was really really nice it's like our favorite spot around us so we had some pizza we hung out we watched Yankee game because the playoffs were happening and it was like actually a crazy game I don't really watch sports but if it's on I'll watch it and we're a Yankees family over here and the season is going crazy so that's all I think I'm going to read first and then I'm going to edit and then finish planning our little day tomorrow so good morning everyone horrible news and change of plans Chris woke up not feeling well this morning so we're postponing our sleepy Holo trip I'm so sad but he needs to rest so honestly I feel like it was meant to be because all the tours I wanted to do were sold out today so now we have enough time to prepare buy tickets to go next week so don't worry I will be vlogging it next week I'm really upset we're not going but I feel like it makes more sense now because I was like rushing to planet and it gets very busy over there apparently I've decided to just have myself a day like I did earlier this week when I went to work at the coffee shop I think today I'm just going to take myself to a bunch of coffee shops a bunch of bookstores run around not run around the town run around Jersey run around my area of Jersey just have myself a fun little day I really wanted to wear like my new skirt and sweater but I feel like that wasn't the right outfit to wear to go on my little day today so here's what I'm wearing today this is my new favorite half from Oria I've been wearing it all the time like I said and I have my little Old Navy tank under and I wear a skirt I really wanted to wear a skirt today my little gray skirt and I have some sambas on it's also our 48 hour readathon so when I go to the little coffee shops or just sit for a little I'm going to obviously read my book I'm halfway through lovely War right now so I'm sorry if you were excited about Sleepy Hollow I was too but we're still going to go just postponing it till next week guys this bars was the one I went to when I was at school and it's closing they're moving there's like empty shelves everywhere like over here and everything is 25% off so I feel like I have to get a book but I brought my bagel in cuz usually they have a cafe to sit at and I thought I could sit there but I'm just carrying around a bagel now that's leaking through the back I feel like I have to get a book now I'm so sad that they're closing oh matcha taste test delicious same place I went to on Wednesday I think it was so good ate my bagel read some of my book went to a little book shop over here I didn't get anything but I looked around I was seeing if they had lovely War they didn't have it and then I sat on a bench a little in red and I just went to get some matcha and then I think right now I don't know where I'm going to go next I think I want to go over to another bookstore just to walk around see if they have any seating for me to read there it's a little chilly out so I'd rather like read inside but this bookstore didn't have any seats so then at Barnes I I can't believe that Barnes is closing everything was between 25 to 75% off like there was like a huge sale happening so I got the third book in the Ember and the ashes series cuz it's the next one that I'm on and I don't have the last two so I'm like slowly getting through the series I'm just buying the books as I go and this is the next one that I have to read that's my update I'm going to get in the car head over somewhere with some indoor seating hopefully a bookstore of some sort hello everyone good morning happy Sunday so yesterday I think the last thing I talked about was when I was going to go read a bit more at different like coffee shops or or bookstores but the bookstore I wanted to go to was like too far away for me to go there read and then come home like I was getting later in the day so I ended up going to the shops that Chloe and I were at the other day it's kind of just like an outdoor strip mall with like really nice stores I was like going in and out of some of them and I ended up purchasing some sneakers these sneakers are New Balances they've been in my cart like on my laptop for like 3 plus weeks now I've been eyeing them down and just seeing if I should buy them or not I've really wanted them I've been looking up on Tik Tok like different ways that people wear them I personally just wanted a new sneaker that weren't my SAS that I can wear to the gym but also could wear them out because the hocas that I have are really thick they're really like chunky and I don't like wearing them places that's not the gym so I wanted sneakers I could do both with so these have been in my cart for a while and then when I went to the mall early this week to do my like eye exam and also go to Sephora I went to dicks across the street to look at them like in person and I was like should I get them should I not and I didn't get them and then when I was with Chloe at the same shops the other day we went into anthropology and they had them there and I was telling her how I wanted them and she was like you would look cute in them like I think you should get them I didn't get them I was like I'm I don't know yet I don't know if I want to do it yet so yesterday I was by myself and I was going in and out of these stores anthropologies in there I went in I like to look at their home decor their candles their plates and mugs and stuff that's like my favorite stuff that anthropology sells and then I went to the sneakers and I was like you know what let me just try them on so I asked the lady I was like can I see them in my size and the ones that were on display were my size SI so I tried those on I looked in the mirror and I was like these are really really cute they're the New Balance 530s they look like Grandpa shoes but I really like them I think they're really cute wearing them with like my workout outfit but also again wearing them not to just the gym these are the sneakers that I got I'm kind of obsessed with them I know they look like Grandpa shoes but I love them I actually wore them last night we went to get some food and I threw them on they're very very comfortable and I can't wait to wear them to the gym this week and then like I said we got dinner last night but Chris felt so bad that we had to postpone our sleepy Holo trip he got me this little pink mug with a the bow on it it's from Urban Outfitters which was right outside the restaurant we picked up food from so he got me this cute little mug which I'm going to go wash and put my tea in this morning and then he also got some flowers which is really really sweet I felt so bad that he felt bad that was really sweet so to like half make up for it he said today we're going to go to the pumpkin patch go pumpkin picking grab some apples go to the like Orchard over there get the best apple cider donuts so that's what our Sunday is going to be I have to go put up our choices for the book club for our November book which is crazy so I'm going to do that I just finished lovely wore a readathons last day yesterday and finished it this morning in the readathon I don't know I'm going to read that one just yet but I had a good time reading that one I got like Chills by the end of it I know a lot of people cry during that book but I've been in such like a slump in like not wanting to read that like I feel like I haven't really been feeling the feels with the books that I've been trying to pick up and read but this one I actually finished which was really nice the chapters were so so short the storytelling was so amazing so I really enjoyed this one it's also a reset day so my sheets and my clothes are in the wash right now we have to do that so that we can start off our next week on a fresh slate I'm going to do all this and I will see you probably when Chris is here when we go have some fall fun some more stuff to check off of our fall bucket list oh n mhello everyone welcome or welcome back to my channel I'm so sorry if this dishwasher is annoying we just started and it's kind of loud but welcome to today's video we're going to be doing a fun little week in my life a fall week in my life casual little week in my life it is Monday I went to the gym this morning around like 9:00 I woke up a little early and read some of my book and I didn't film at the gym I don't think I'm ever going to be comfortable enough to film at the gym it's also a new one that I've been going to recently and I've really been enjoying it like a lot I feel like I've been having really good workouts and just like having my own mental space time and like personal time on my own quiet time feels really good so didn't record anything there because I am nervous to do that guess what today is today is Gracie day Gracie was performing in New York while I was in Texas or coming home from Texas and then one of the dates was rescheduled to today so I never ended up getting tickets but then bestie Amber messaged me and she said she couldn't go to the rescheduled date you know she has pork and stuff if I wanted to take it she had two tickets and I was like let me ask my friend so Kay is coming along with me and I'm so excited I did say I'll get Amber some merch or something send her some songs cuz I feel so bad she's missing it cuz I know how exciting it is going to concerts and if it's like rescheduled and it just doesn't work out to go to the new date it's so sad so we're going to have a really fun night tonight but I have a lot of work to do before that and also I have the dentist at 12 which not fun I hate going to the dentist but in the meantime I'm going to go continue reading our book club book I'm reading Pumpkin Spice Cafe right now I started it last night it's really really quick it's so fast-paced it's very reminiscent and takes a lot of inspiration from Gilmore Girls which I recently started which we can talk about later I feel like I'm almost done with season one which is exciting cuz I feel like I've been watching it for a while but it's like a bedtime show I always fall asleep to it so I don't really get many episodes in we can chat all that later I'm going to go continue reading hello everyone long time no talk right now it is 4:00 I have to leave around 5:45 but I want to eat dinner before so I'm going to get my makeup all situated now and pick out an outfit so that after I eat I can just leave so one thing about me when I go to concerts I cannot rest I need to know the set list I need to know everything that's happening so I've been listening to the set list for the past few days since I found out I was going and I am so excited like my top number one song on my Spotify rap last year was feels like by Gracie and it's on the set list I actually so excited I don't know how that became my top song of last year I guess I went through a phase of listening to it non-stop it is one of my favorite songs but there's so many good ones I'm excited for every single song on here I'm so just excited so let's do some makeup but I haven't been to a concert since pull and I'm really excited I thought I only had one concert left this year so this is going to be really really fun I just love concerts I love anything that's like a memory so like we can leave and like talk about it all have videos of it and also just seeing your favorite artist is like so cool I went to I don't know if anyone listens to the giggly Squad podcast I don't I watch like little Clips if it comes on my Tik Tok but I went with Chris's sister and her friend and Danny last weekend on Friday because they listened to it so I was like yeah I'm totally down he in Atlantic City I'm always down for something like that cuz I feel like again an opportunity to make memories and just see something live and I don't know it was really fun T burner and Paige dorbo and they were really really funny but I recently did that and I'm just really excited to go to a concert I one thing about me I love concerts I think we all know this now like I said I took my everything shower and I started using this lotion that you can put on like daily let me get it this isn't sponsored at all it actually was sponsored from a video I saw and then B off of that but it's the B body gradual tanning butter in the video it's just like a lotion and they're just putting on as a lotion but the more you add it it like gradually makes you Tanner instead of like self tanning and washing it off like you just put this on as a lotion after you shower I've been using it for like a week now I don't have like a 100% confirmed obsessed with this yet but I can confirm that it's working I've been using it like just lotion and I stopped using it for a few days because I feel like it gave me a bit of a glow and I didn't need to add anymore really been enjoying this cuz I don't really love the feel of self tanner use the loving tan one but sometimes I don't want to do the whole self tan routine so I saw this and it's been working really well recently so if you're with me and you don't love self tanner this has been really fun I can't believe I'm going to see the free now bridge in person like you're kidding I need to play that why am I not playing any music right now what's crazy is like I will smile and dance to the saddest songs but I'm so excited one of the sad things though is I don't think role model is going to be there and he's who's opening for Gracie's tour but since this is a rescheduled date I think the tour was like or his part of the tour was over so I saw he posted that like thanking Gracie for being on tour and everything and I don't think he's going to be there and I'm really upset about it like he is so funny and I was so excited to see him perform and perform with her but yeah I don't think he's going to be there and that is really sad but that's okay I also need to get another one of this when I stopped doing my lash extensions this was the first mascara I bought after the roller lash the benefit one but I got the mini one and I think it's about to be empty now I think I've used it all up okay I need some lip gloss but that's in my bag downstairs I'm going to fix up my hair a little I think I'm just use the little curling attachment stuff and then figure out an outfit eat some dinner be on my way I literally am so excited here's the shirt that I bought my plan was a little black skirt with this pink long sleeve and then a black bow in my hair and black boots it's just plain pink long sleeve but again I don't know if I want to wear the skirt I think I'm going to try it all on and if I don't like it I'll wear I have like a pink little offthe shoulder top instead of this with some jeans in the bow but fingers cross the skirt looks cute and then I'll just like suffer the wind and the cold it's going to be really cold walking around but sometimes you just have to sacrifice that because the outfit is more important okay I think this is what I'm going with I have this little black skirt from Princess Polly and I think I'm going to do this top from Princess Polly it's like a light pink I don't really like the way the long sleeve looks and I wanted to wear a cardigan cuz again it's chilly out so I have the black Old Navy cardigan on top and my little princess Polly boots but this is a scirt so I feel good walking around in this I literally hear the wind from in here it is so windy out my hair is going to get so messed up but I put a little bow I don't know if you can see it a little black and white bow I think the bow really makes it but I think this is cute I have everything from my closet and have to buy anything I'm probably going to return that long sleeve now but this was the first outfit I put on and that never happens usually I change my outfit at least 10 times so proud of myself for this one I think it's cute I know it's going to be chilly when we walk but I'm ready to go I'm going to eat dinner and then I'll be on my way oh my God I'm literally ecstatic the the feeling play I good morning everyone it is now Tuesday today is just a chill work day I woke up at like 7:00 to start working because I had a lot to do this morning but I went to the gym at like 9ish it's now like after 12:00 it's 12:18 I had a meeting at 11:00 so I've been just doing a bunch of stuff this morning I just ate one of these little go Macaro bars I used to eat these like all the time in college I'm trying to find some protein bars that I really like I tried the um Power Crunch ones and I really did not like that at all but I used to eat these and then I also used to love the cliff bar so these are my favorite this one's more chewy I don't know if anyone is into protein bars if you guys have any that you like I have this one I like sometimes the barbell ones but they're like too thick sometimes like I feel like when I'm eating this halfway through I'm already full from this it's like so thick I'm like don't want anymore but they taste really good these are my favorite they're really chewy and I usually don't like chewy bars but it feels like a jaw workout when I'm eating it but it's my favorite so I got a few of these from Trader Joe's some bars to try and I have some delivering today I saw someone posting about these bars I forgot the name of them they should be delivering today they're from I don't know how to say the brand name mesla it's a puff crispy bar it says which I feel like I would like the texture of this one I'm a big texture person when I say I'm a picky eater it's because a lot of textures I don't like so I got this one it looks like that and it should be delivering today so maybe we'll try that after my meeting I just just walked the girls and I just ordered my dad and sent him a birthday gift his birthday is this week so I just shipped him something for his birthday I got him well I guess I could say it now because this is a week in my life he should know by the time this is out I got him one of those books that you personalize for your birthday you give them the date of birth that you were born and then every year in this booklet it shows you like news headlines from your birthday every single year and I thought that was really fun so I got him that for his birthday and it WR like happy birthday dad on it which I thought was cool cuz I feel like it's hard getting a father birthday gift or gift in general it's like what what do you get them I usually get them like a picture frame of us or something like personalized I love doing gifts though I feel like gift giving is one of my favorite languages but I usually like to see them open the gifts like that's the best part so I won't see him open it but hopefully he'll just FaceTime me after and be like this is a great gift hopefully he likes it I don't know I just randomly bought it I thought it was really cool but yeah today is the season finale of tell me lies it's the last episode for the season I'm like fingers crossed hoping they get picked up for a third season because there's no way they're going to be answering all the questions we need answered today so we're going to have a tell me lies watch party later we need to watch this together I need some moral support while we're watching this cuz I feel like if it's not a crazy episode I'm going to be so upset because there's so much that's happening and so many questions that need to be answered and so many Theory circling that I'm like I don't even know what's true or not anymore and then the concert yesterday I had so much fun I will say usually going into the city usually for concerts we go to mass and squore garden which is right on top of the train station we go into Penn Station so for this one was Radio City so we had to get in there and then we were going to walk to the train station that was was our not the train station walk to the concert that was our plan I got in my car the train station from my house usually 45 minutes and then the actual train ride is only like 10ish minutes maybe even less it's a really quick ride so we like to drive there and take a short train so we're not on the train for too long I get in my car I put it in the navigation guess how long it says it was going to take me to get there an hour and 20 minutes and I was like okay I'm pushing it we're going to have to take a later train that's totally fine I'm driving it keeps going up it ended up being like an hour and 40 minutes in the car it was it would have been easier for me to drive into the city to the concert than taking the train it was just like rush hour traffic there was an accident like there was a lot happening that was crazy we're coming from two different locations cuz Kay lives somewhere else in like a different town so it was just crazy um so we ended up having to take a taxi to the concert because we were not going to make it if we walked we got there exactly at 8:00 which was perfect timing because she got on at 8:30 we had just enough time to go to the bathroom and grab a snack the merch line was so long and it was so good like her vocals in like real life I wish she sang with this like on her songs I feel like on her albums like her voice is so stunning and beautiful and her songs are very like mellow a lot of them like in person the way that she changes some of the tunes and the way that she sings some of the words are just so stunning like I want an album I want a live album from her concert like there's some of the notes that she was singing that were just so beautiful and she is just such an angel like she's an angel princess she was wearing this like sparkly skirt or sparkly dress and she just looks so stunning and she just sang beautifully we heard all the most amazing songs it was so much fun and then I got bestie Amber who who so kindly let me buy the her tickets off of her some merch I didn't end up getting any but we ended up going during one of the songs during the concert to grab some merch because that was just the easiest way to do it I got her this one and I wanted to show it just cuz I wanted to show how cute her merch is I feel like a lot of times at concerts I go to the merch is never like that good I feel like the merch teams that they do are just do the bare minimum basic designs but this is really cute and she had really cute stuff this says crew neck and says felt good about you I don't I think the design is really cute I like the blue on the gray and then on the back it says till I didn't and then it says Gracie abrs Tour on the bottom I think this is so adorable so I'm going to ship this out to Amber this week and then I came home this morning from the gym to a package I thought we can open it together cuz it feels like it's going to be a book but I didn't order any book so I'm not sure what it's going to be ooh this is something that could make me cry this is Alice's new release I'm acting like I didn't know this was coming they did message me a few weeks ago I was like would you like an early copy of this and the quickest yes that ever came out of my mouth or through my DMs oh oh my God I am ecstatic wait I can actually cry over this I'm so excited if you don't know who Alice FY is she's one of my favorite mystery thriller authors this is her newest release I'm actually going to the signing of this which I think is in January let me see when this actually comes out because I thought it came out soon oh my God it comes out January 14th the cover is also really really setting I love the way that the words kind of are shiny and it has a little rip in the middle I don't really know exactly what it's about but on the back it says her best book yet by Haren cin and I never read a book by Harland cin but he has so many mystery books but but if you remember I don't know if I ever talked about it I feel like I definitely did me and Chris went on a binge on all of Harlen coin's like adaptations from his books onto Netflix like he has a lot on there and they're really really good really entertaining oh my God I'm so excited wait what is this about this day was really looking up I literally worked out this morning to motion sickness smallest man who ever lived mirror ball I don't really know what was going on this morning I just listening to some sad music while I was working out sometimes you have those days this just turned my day around I'm so excited you guys have no idea how much I love Alice and her writing I cannot wait to go to her signing and just be like I love you in your work I'm going to go edit a video for the patreon and then I'm going to finish our book club book and the reading Vlog for this for the patreon and then I also I'm going to start editing a reading Vlog that I have to finish up like after I film this clip I'm going to finish that up so I have a lot of editing to do I want to finish up this book I don't have a lot left I think I have about I'd say a little over 100 pages but it goes so quick this book is so fast-paced Here Comes the Sun Here Comes the Sun okay perfect timing I'm about to make lunch and the bars the little protein bars I bought have delivered so I thought we could try them together so I got the hot chocolate one they have different ones I think they have like a pistachio one and a nut one but I decided to get the hot chocolate one it's all plant protein too which I like and it says there's 10 g of protein looks just like the picture M why is it kind of spicy oh there's chipotle pepper in here that's interesting it's really good it actually does taste like a drinking a hot chocolate but with like the little rice krispy like crunchy things on top that's what it kind of tastes like but I don't know why there's chipotle pepper in here because I don't like spicy things it's like an aftertaste of spice which is such an interesting thing but I like the texture cuz it's kind of crunchy with the top of it but the chocolate is delicious not sponsored at all but I'm definitely going to eat these These are really good that was literally all I had to say I'm going to go make a sandwich and then continue editing and I'll see yall later it was a fun little snack intermission hey guys he's the chef of the house it's 11:59 I'm so excited I actually have no idea what's going to happen in this episode and I'm really really nervous the ending of last week's episode was crazy this crazy every time I watch the show I need to watch it sitting up you're lying oh my God that was such a crazy way to start the show we literally 5 minutes in like with a recap I can't even imagine like what are we going to find out during this episode this is horrible every decision that's being made is just the worst one always this is not going to end well red underwear placing can I ask you something and we're only halfway oh my God hello everyone happy Wednesday last night the tell me lies finale was insane there were a couple things that I feel like I knew was going to happen but my jaw was gasping and dropping every like 5 minutes it was insane the ending of course had a cliffhanger and I'm like fingers crossed hoping they have another season because it just so much was happening and every single decision that everyone made was just like mindboggling baffling and especially one of our main characters Lucy like all of her decisions so far that started when she got to that college has just snowballed into something huge like the first 5 minutes of what she was doing was just insane because that aired at 12:00 a.m. last night I didn't fall asleep till like 2: a.m. but I went to the gym this morning at like 8:00 I woke up around 7:00 so I could start working a little but I wanted to go to the gym a little bit early so I had some time to go over to another town to work outside of the house today and I want to return the urban dress that I bought I have a dress and then I bought these like little hair bow things that I want to return over at Urban and then I want to stop at Sephora on my way home to grab my perfume I need mascara and I'm going to return on my way my long sleeve my pink long sleeve I don't think I'm ever going to wear this it's a bit seethrough that's why I didn't want to wear it to the Gracie concert so it's from Amazon I'm going to return that though and then stop at a coffee shops just work for a few hours I'm going to edit my reading Vlog that should be out by now but I'm going to start editing that one today and then I don't know what book I want to start I have like no reading Vlogs going right now so I brought with me winter garden by Kristen Hannah I tried to start in my dreams I hold a knife last night but I got like 20 pages in I don't know if I wanted to read a book like that and then I didn't start the Alice one because I'm so excited to read it I don't want my expectations to be like so high so I'm going to let myself cool down from that and then start it probably over the weekend or next week so I'm going to get through a couple other books or try to before I start that one so I have Winter Garden here I'm going to maybe start that one I also just brought my Kindle I have a few books downloaded on here I have lovely War just came in from my library I borrowed it so I definitely want to start that one really soon maybe we'll start that one today and then I also have another dark Gothic book from the same author K Lake as the recent book I've read NOC deadia so I'm in the mood for one of the three I don't know what I'm I'm going to start what I'm going to read or if I'll have time at the coffee shop because we're recording a podcast episode later today so I have a few hours to kill I would like to get a lot of editing done so I want to edit outside of the house cuz I feel like sometimes it's good for a change of scenery I'm always just sitting in my room when I edit so we're going to try to find a coffee shop to sit at and work a bit there just just finished editing it's time to find somewhere to sit and read and I think there's a bookstore up here so that's where I'm headed hello everyone I am now back home it's about 3:20 I had to leave so that we could do the podcast I didn't end up going to Sephora because I realized tomorrow I have an eye doctor appointment and that's in the mall and of course there's a Sephora in the mall so I'm just going to wait to do that tomorrow so I had more time to edit and read I had such a wonderful time I've come to realize over the past maybe couple years I really love spending like a day with myself and just by myself and having alone me time but like adventuring out of the house and going to a coffee shop and going to edit and like just do my own thing and I grabbed a slice of pizza like I just had a day to myself and I love that so much like there is nothing like spending time with myself spending my time over there and doing my own thing today was just like so fun and I loved it so much so I did end up going to Urban I returned the dress and all the other stuff and yeah of course I came home with more stuff I I you know I love shopping sue me I love it I love buying new clothes I got this little long sleeve I thought this was so cute it has like little lace around the front and the little buttons but I thought this would be cute with like little lowrise jeans and UGGs very falles outfit and the material is really really soft it's not like cotton I don't know what this is then I got this little mini black skirt the one that I have from Princess Polly is really cute but it's really really thick and then the waistband of it is really like scrunchy like has like a scrunched effect around it so I want just like a plain one and again it's a squirt so that's really really nice and then the last thing I got is this little black it's technically a romper but I think it's just a dress with shorts underneath it like you can't tell it's a romper it's just a plain black mini dress I don't have any just plain black dresses since I'm starting to wear skirts and sweaters more I thought it would be cute to wear a little black dress with like Uggs or sneakers and a cardigan or throw a sweater on top of it I really think this would be fun and I can wear like a bunch of different outfits with it so that's what I got from Urban and then I have two packages over here so I went to aritzia recently and I returned a few things that I got I got like a sweatsuit and stuff but I returned it because the material of it it was like a little bit too thick and for how expensive their sweatsuits are I just didn't like it so I ended up returning that and then I bought a couple more things so this if you have seen my recent reading Vlog that I was editing today I wore this in many clips and this is my new favorite thing in the entire world it's like a fleece it's a half zip and I'm just obsessed with it it's long you can scrunch the bottom of it with these little like ties down here but the color is so cute I'm obsessed with this blue color I've been really really loving Blues like this and navies and wearing this the other day with my Navy biker shorts and my little sneakers like it was just so cute I've been wearing this like every single day since I got it and I'm pretty sure they have other colors in it but I thought the blue was really cute so let's open up this I'm pretty sure this is a long sleeve that I really liked when I was in the store but they didn't have my size it's just like a gray long sleeve but what I like is the neckline of it cuz you can wear it kind of like off the shoulder a little bit slouchy and again this is so cute with like little jeans little Uggs I love fall clothes fall fashion and wearing clothes and putting together outfits in the fall time is my favorite that's what I've recently got and then along with like skirts I really wanted a cute little fall type skirt so I got this plaid skirt from Hollister and I'm so excited hopefully it fits I really want to wear this weekend Chris and I doing something fun it's also a skirt which is a plus I don't like to wear mini skirts if there's not shorts underneath it but look how cute this is there's a little like tie bow belt little plated skirt I'm obsessed this is so cute a little black sweater black boots maybe black tights I finish up my Collective haul I got two new sweatshirts the one I'm wearing right now they're from abber cromie some of my favorite sweatshirts ever they're so comfortable I have a brown hoodie from them that's like one of my favorite sweatshirts ever I like this one because it feels oversized but the length of it isn't so it kind of like cuts at this length which I really like and then I know some people don't like camo but for me I'm obsessed with camo I think it's such a fun pattern so like I said I have the brown hoodie that I'm obsessed with and it came in this camo color and I was like you know what I love that so I just got this big camo hoodie the hoodies are Also Chris's favorite so we do share the brown hoodie and he's going to share this one with me he wore it the other day because they are just so comfortable that's my fall haul I love fall clothes like I said so I'm really excited to wear this stuff and now I'm going to go get ready to film the podcast we're doing a little spooky Stories episode which I'm excited about that'll be fun for spooky season obviously and then after that I don't really have any of plans tonight I'm just going to eat dinner relax read and just hang for the rest of the night so hello guys it is now um it's Thursday so yesterday why am I why am I crying I thought we can chat while I do my makeup and get ready for the day because I have to run to an eye doctor appointment soon but yesterday as soon as I finished recording the podcast we were done I was walking down the stairs and I got like three texts from people something that I don't really talk to every single day asking if I was okay heart dropped I was like yeah I'm okay like what are you talking about and then they broke the news that Liam Pain passed away and if you know anything about me if you've watched plenty of my videos if you listen to the podcast I have been Directioner like that was just such a visceral part my childhood and my teenage years and growing up and I've just been like so nauseous thinking about it like every time I think about it again that Liam Pain literally passed away I just like get so nauseous I met some of my best friends when I was like 12 years old through One Direction likeing One Direction K who I went to the concert with we bonded a dance class and have been friends ever since because of bonding over One Direction like we are still best friends to this day I still have best friends from all loving One Direction like going to the concerts together like me and K still go to concerts as you saw like to this day because of One Direction so again they were just a huge part of my growing up and like being a part of a fandom is like one of my favorite things and you guys know I talk about it all the time I love concerts there's nothing like being a part of a fandom with other people and that's all started because at One Direction like that was the first fandom I found I became a part of I met people through going to the concerts like just being obsessed over the same things together so I think it's just so insane I'm kind of like morning my childhood and my teenage years because I just like still can't believe he passed away and I thought I was going to be like well into my 60s when any of the members happened to have passed away like I just did not think it would have happened while I was 24 years old like I thought I should chat about it cuz that's why last night I didn't say anything this morning I was listening to One Direction on my way to the gym and like all these songs have just such a different meaning now like I don't think I can ever listen to their music the same again which is like so crazy cuz like they have been on my top artists since like discovering them like I remember where I was when I discovered One Direction I remember where I was when Z left the B and I will never forget where I was when I found out that Lam passed away it's sad but yeah today I just went to the gym I ate breakfast I need to finish editing the reading Vlog I have like only a few things left to do for that and I'm going to send that into the patreon and we're voting on our November book right now which is absolutely insane like I cannot believe we're already like going into November talking about our book club book for November like that's just insane to me and then I have an eye exam appointment at 11:30 which this appointment is very long overdue I finally made it this week and it's because when I'm driving specifically at night time like it's hard for me to see like I was driving home from the concert the other day and I was like no I need to make an appointment tomorrow and I did cuz when it's really dark and like seeing signs and like all the lights in my face I just can't see anything if it's very blurry it's not as bad during the day but it's really just like seeing far away while I'm driving that I'm concerned about so I'm going for an eye exam and then while I'm there I'm just going to stop at Sephora and then I'll probably stop at CVS cuz I need to ship out bestie Amber's crew neck so I'm going to ship that out and there's this walk scen right over there so I'm going to grab I need some new moisturizer my carave is about to be empty which is crazy because those cave bottles will last me so long and then Chris and I are going to get dinner later tonight which will be fun I started Winter Garden yesterday and I also tried starting like two other books and I think I'm getting into a slump which is like horrible I do not want to be in a slump right now so I think I might soff that for now I really wanted to get through my TBR this month but I don't know if I can get out of the slump I definitely will I think I'm going to try to start lovely War maybe that'll be better because I know it's kind of like mythology mixed into like a romance but the way it's told I've been told it's like really beautiful so I think I'm going start that on my Kindle again I Bor it from the library so I need to get to that soon anyway I also have been continuing to listen to the second zodiac Academy I actually only have I think 3 and 1 half hours left of listening time I'm like well over halfway I still feel like it's like kind of insane the plot like sometimes I'll be zoning out while I'm listening to it like when I drove yesterday I put it on for like the the drive over and I'll kind of zone out for a second and then something will happen in a scene and she like so jarring what's happening I can't even like describe to you what I was like listening to I can't even say except it'll probably be a spoiler but just know some of the scenes that's happening it's like like what what is this plot what is happening but where I'm at right now I feel like it's picking up and I feel like it has to because we're ending the book off we're about to get into the third book so I think I told myself I'm going to listen to this one see how it ends and then maybe listen to the third one and that's when I'll decide if I'll continue or not because the plot is so interesting like when I'm listening to it I'm entertained I'm like I cannot believe this is like the plot of the book so I think I'm going to continue it but I don't think it'll be my favorite at least right now I think this like second book is looking up to be a two star not a two star a three star just like the first one which isn't horrible but it's just not my favorite so I just keep thinking about it I just can't believe like saying the sentence Liam Payne died is like the most insane sentence ever like like imagine telling that to 12-year-old me I also told myself that I'm going to start getting ready every day like outfit wise cuz it makes me feel better I'm not going to come home from the gym and throw sweatpants on so that's why I put jeans on and my new shirt I feel like it makes me feel better when I like put myself together these are really good I just got home I'm uploading the reading Vlog right now just finished that up so here's a little haul of what I got you already know everything I got but I'm going to show anyway I got to I'm obsessed with this it smells so good I use it every single day multiple times a day so good got my brother lash I got the bigger one because I've been using the mini since like I said my lash extensions came off so got this one I want to try to telescopic again cuz that my like tried and true during like high school before I got my lash extensions on that was my favorite but didn't get that I got a new bentin little mini red like blush thing I used it on my lips I used it this morning if you guys saw when I was doing my makeup I used it kind of as like a lip tint and then I got my mom this lip velvet because she saw it on Instagram and she said she really wanted it so I got that for her hopefully she likes that I'm so annoyed I went to Walgreens to get my moisturizer and they only had the tub version not like the pump one maybe I can try to squeeze some of this into there cuz I like using the the pump I think it's just so convenient but either way got my moisturizer the body wash that I went with I didn't get any at Sephora because I did not want to spend like 20 plus dollars on some body wash so I got this one it's my favorite I got this usually at Target but I didn't know what body wash to get I feel like I'm not very picky on my body washes so got this one this is the method pure piece body wash and then I got a pack of gum this my favorite gum ever ice breakers the the cube ones and the spearmint these are delicious and if anyone was curious about the eye doctor experience I am getting glasses I'm picking them up later before Chris and I go to dinner we're going to grab them they had the frames that I wanted with like the prescription cuz my eyes right is not like bad by any means we did like the eye exam the eye test and the doctor was just like to see clearer and make it you feel better while you're driving you can wear them like anytime you want but specifically for when you're driving you feel like you cannot see basically it's for distance it's nothing crazy but I'm going to pick that up later and then they let me add blue light to them cuz I told them I work on my computer and constantly looking at a screen so if that was an option I took it back to glasses I wore glasses in high school to see the board from the back of the room and stuff and into college I wore them and then I just stopped wearing them I don't really know why but I kind of can notice it now and just cuz I stared a screen for so long I feel like my eyes just like need some help so that's my glasses experience I'll do a little glasses reveal later you can see which ones I chose I'm going to go listen to the podcast I'm going to make the little Instagram and post that to the Instagram and then probably try to read a bit I mean such a slump I don't want to read like at all which is so annoying cuz like I no I want to read but like picking up a book and like actually reading I just like I can't can't really get into anything so I don't really know what I'm going to do but I'm going to try to read after all of that hi guys hello besties happy Friday I went to the gym this morning I didn't get a good sleep last night I woke up randomly at like 2ish 3ish a.m. and I put on Gilmore Girls and I watched like two episodes of it I just could not sleep sleep it was so weird got home it was hair wash day so I just did my hair feel so much better when I do like a slick back because you know it's like that time of the day or the week to wash your hair but you need to go somewhere so you just slick it back like that's what I was doing but the feeling of like knowing my hair needs to be washed I hate that feeling so I was like ready to come home and wash it so I just did that and I've been planning on my computer Chris and I are doing a little day trip tomorrow to Sleepy Hollow New York which is just like a little town but they decorated it pretty cute for like the fall time sleep Hollow has like libraries and manners you can walk through and I love there's like the headless horsemen stuff that you can go see and the statue and the cemeteries and stuff so planning it over here so I'm going to make like a little checklist of what I want to do while we're there and just like things that we should see I started lovely war on my Kindle like I said I borrowed it from my library and I think I'm also like 50 pages into this one but I'm really enjoying it so far so I'm excited about that I'm going to go sit outside for a little and read a bit and then edit the video um later I'm getting dinner with my friend Chloe I don't know if any of you have met Chloe she's definitely been in a video way way long ago she's my best friend from we met in elementary school but she's the reason I even met Chris um we went to college together the first college before I transferred out she's been a bestie ever since and we haven't seen each other since January this year so we're going to get some dinner later I'm really excited to catch up with her it's been like way too long our lives are just like in totally different paths like she moved away to a different state for a little so it's been crazy but I'm so excited to see her later last night Chris and I want to dinner it was really really nice it's like our favorite spot around us so we had some pizza we hung out we watched Yankee game because the playoffs were happening and it was like actually a crazy game I don't really watch sports but if it's on I'll watch it and we're a Yankees family over here and the season is going crazy so that's all I think I'm going to read first and then I'm going to edit and then finish planning our little day tomorrow so good morning everyone horrible news and change of plans Chris woke up not feeling well this morning so we're postponing our sleepy Holo trip I'm so sad but he needs to rest so honestly I feel like it was meant to be because all the tours I wanted to do were sold out today so now we have enough time to prepare buy tickets to go next week so don't worry I will be vlogging it next week I'm really upset we're not going but I feel like it makes more sense now because I was like rushing to planet and it gets very busy over there apparently I've decided to just have myself a day like I did earlier this week when I went to work at the coffee shop I think today I'm just going to take myself to a bunch of coffee shops a bunch of bookstores run around not run around the town run around Jersey run around my area of Jersey just have myself a fun little day I really wanted to wear like my new skirt and sweater but I feel like that wasn't the right outfit to wear to go on my little day today so here's what I'm wearing today this is my new favorite half from Oria I've been wearing it all the time like I said and I have my little Old Navy tank under and I wear a skirt I really wanted to wear a skirt today my little gray skirt and I have some sambas on it's also our 48 hour readathon so when I go to the little coffee shops or just sit for a little I'm going to obviously read my book I'm halfway through lovely War right now so I'm sorry if you were excited about Sleepy Hollow I was too but we're still going to go just postponing it till next week guys this bars was the one I went to when I was at school and it's closing they're moving there's like empty shelves everywhere like over here and everything is 25% off so I feel like I have to get a book but I brought my bagel in cuz usually they have a cafe to sit at and I thought I could sit there but I'm just carrying around a bagel now that's leaking through the back I feel like I have to get a book now I'm so sad that they're closing oh matcha taste test delicious same place I went to on Wednesday I think it was so good ate my bagel read some of my book went to a little book shop over here I didn't get anything but I looked around I was seeing if they had lovely War they didn't have it and then I sat on a bench a little in red and I just went to get some matcha and then I think right now I don't know where I'm going to go next I think I want to go over to another bookstore just to walk around see if they have any seating for me to read there it's a little chilly out so I'd rather like read inside but this bookstore didn't have any seats so then at Barnes I I can't believe that Barnes is closing everything was between 25 to 75% off like there was like a huge sale happening so I got the third book in the Ember and the ashes series cuz it's the next one that I'm on and I don't have the last two so I'm like slowly getting through the series I'm just buying the books as I go and this is the next one that I have to read that's my update I'm going to get in the car head over somewhere with some indoor seating hopefully a bookstore of some sort hello everyone good morning happy Sunday so yesterday I think the last thing I talked about was when I was going to go read a bit more at different like coffee shops or or bookstores but the bookstore I wanted to go to was like too far away for me to go there read and then come home like I was getting later in the day so I ended up going to the shops that Chloe and I were at the other day it's kind of just like an outdoor strip mall with like really nice stores I was like going in and out of some of them and I ended up purchasing some sneakers these sneakers are New Balances they've been in my cart like on my laptop for like 3 plus weeks now I've been eyeing them down and just seeing if I should buy them or not I've really wanted them I've been looking up on Tik Tok like different ways that people wear them I personally just wanted a new sneaker that weren't my SAS that I can wear to the gym but also could wear them out because the hocas that I have are really thick they're really like chunky and I don't like wearing them places that's not the gym so I wanted sneakers I could do both with so these have been in my cart for a while and then when I went to the mall early this week to do my like eye exam and also go to Sephora I went to dicks across the street to look at them like in person and I was like should I get them should I not and I didn't get them and then when I was with Chloe at the same shops the other day we went into anthropology and they had them there and I was telling her how I wanted them and she was like you would look cute in them like I think you should get them I didn't get them I was like I'm I don't know yet I don't know if I want to do it yet so yesterday I was by myself and I was going in and out of these stores anthropologies in there I went in I like to look at their home decor their candles their plates and mugs and stuff that's like my favorite stuff that anthropology sells and then I went to the sneakers and I was like you know what let me just try them on so I asked the lady I was like can I see them in my size and the ones that were on display were my size SI so I tried those on I looked in the mirror and I was like these are really really cute they're the New Balance 530s they look like Grandpa shoes but I really like them I think they're really cute wearing them with like my workout outfit but also again wearing them not to just the gym these are the sneakers that I got I'm kind of obsessed with them I know they look like Grandpa shoes but I love them I actually wore them last night we went to get some food and I threw them on they're very very comfortable and I can't wait to wear them to the gym this week and then like I said we got dinner last night but Chris felt so bad that we had to postpone our sleepy Holo trip he got me this little pink mug with a the bow on it it's from Urban Outfitters which was right outside the restaurant we picked up food from so he got me this cute little mug which I'm going to go wash and put my tea in this morning and then he also got some flowers which is really really sweet I felt so bad that he felt bad that was really sweet so to like half make up for it he said today we're going to go to the pumpkin patch go pumpkin picking grab some apples go to the like Orchard over there get the best apple cider donuts so that's what our Sunday is going to be I have to go put up our choices for the book club for our November book which is crazy so I'm going to do that I just finished lovely wore a readathons last day yesterday and finished it this morning in the readathon I don't know I'm going to read that one just yet but I had a good time reading that one I got like Chills by the end of it I know a lot of people cry during that book but I've been in such like a slump in like not wanting to read that like I feel like I haven't really been feeling the feels with the books that I've been trying to pick up and read but this one I actually finished which was really nice the chapters were so so short the storytelling was so amazing so I really enjoyed this one it's also a reset day so my sheets and my clothes are in the wash right now we have to do that so that we can start off our next week on a fresh slate I'm going to do all this and I will see you probably when Chris is here when we go have some fall fun some more stuff to check off of our fall bucket list oh n m\n"
