Happy birthday to you. Common sense. Yeah, when you break it down line by line, it's very simple. I have to bring these shoes. This is like a safety feature for me. I am only 5'1. Good morning. It is a beautiful Saturday morning and it's 6:00 a.m. Doesn't matter how late I slept. Doesn't matter how early I slept. I will wake up exactly at 6:00 a.m. every single day. I've got a full house. My parents are here and I'm just grinning ear to ear. I love it when they're here. If I told my teenage self that you're going to love having your parents in one roof, she would have been pretty shocked. I think
I want to squeeze in a few of my new morning non-negotiables before I make breakfast for everyone. So, let's do it. Cappuccino for Harper. Cappuccino. Wow. You will go to World Cup with Lenon. What about me? You're kind of cool, too. What about Har? Sorry about I'm very jealous. Halloween. Cheeky, do you want to be in it? Do you want to be in my thumbnail? Come here. Oh, hello, sleepy girl. Do you want to be in my thumbnail?
You're so good. I just finished filming my Q&A and I'm just buzzing. That was actually such an enjoyable experience. I feel like usually, I don't know, I always got it in my head of like, oh, if I film a Q&A, I have to constantly be moving the camera to keep the eyes stimulated, keep the viewers engaged. But today, I am on day two of my period. My flow is too heavy to be doing any of that right now. So, one spot it is. I hope you guys enjoyed it cuz I enjoyed filming it and I felt very relaxed. So, if you guys have not seen that video yet, feel free to go give it a watch. But if you guys have already watched it, thank you. Love you. I'm probably going to film more of those because it's a very easy way to stay active. Also, I
feel like this captures my makeup way better than the DSLR, but I've been doing my blush very differently. I'm using the blush as like a color corrector. Okay, next time I do my makeup, I'm going to sit down and show you guys how I do this look, cuz I love it. It's bath time. Come on, Chicky. Wow, you're so clean now. Oh, Apa is in like a baking phase and so he brought home these cookies. Look, he literally embedded these little markings. Wow. The dedication. I'm going to try one of your cookies. Oreos. White chocolate.
Wow. in here. M there's marking. Wow. It's like a professional. Yeah. Bakery. Woo. Okay. It is 4:00. Cheeky is clean. I got filming done. Everyone's fed. It's been a very productive day. So, now it is time for me time. I am getting dressed cuz we're going out tonight. Tonight is my designated night out. Chris Lake is playing at the historic park. So, this is going to be a huge show. This is one of those shows that are that's so big that you can't bring a purse. You can only bring a clear purse. This is the only clear purse I have and I don't have like a handle for it. And at this point, I mean, do I bring this as a clutch? I feel like I'm just going to end up losing it. So, I have to bring these shoes. This is
like a safety feature for me. I am only 5'1 and it is so easy for me to get I kind of love that there's no bag necessary. On a night out, I always bring this leather jacket by Lamar. This is one of my wardrobe essentials. Each pocket has a bunch of my necessities. So, in this zip pocket, we have five lollipops. These are the Yum Earth organic lollipops. These are my son's. But I love eating these on a night out, especially if I'm going to go sober. For my scent of the evening, I'm going to be wearing my Dior Peachy Glow. This has been my latest obsession. Like, this is so peachy, so fruity. Like, I'm going to be smelling like a smoothie. Ah, it smells so good.
Guys, there are lollipops everywhere. I'm so happy. Almost. Yeah. Day two. Guys, it is Let me show you what time it is. It's 11:11. Oh my gosh. Make a wish. Let me just get comfortable. Oh, that's amazing. This feels incredible. Oh my goodness. Nothing feels as good as your own bed. Nothing. Period. I just got back from the show and that was so fun. I danced my little butt off. I did the whole thing sober. So, fun fact, I am doing Drew.
That's basically like a dry June. One of like my goals this year was to drink less alcohol. Am I ready to give it up completely? No, but I did start to just question my relationship with it and how I use it as a coping mechanism. What are my triggers? Since I'm not ready to just go full cold turkey, what I've been doing is uh every month on and off. I'll do like a dry month. Like for example, I did dry January. I didn't drink for 4 weeks. And then I had a wet February and a wet March. And then I did dry April. I called it dryil. That one was really tough. Then I had a wet May and now I'm doing June, a dry June. And I feel like this month is very different from April because now I kind of know what to expect. I know
it's not going to magically transform everything in my life and the way I feel about myself, but it is making me way more aware. Like I feel like I'm living more consciously. Tonight was a good example of like, wow, this was actually a really, really great fun show. And it helps when you really like the music. I'm very excited to not be hung over tomorrow. This is my favorite place to be. Every time I look at this lamp, I think how much it resembles a Van Clee bracelet. Come in. If there was a heaven, it would just be this right.
always had a cup full of like ice and I just kept putting water and like a little splash of cranberry or something. I felt so proud of myself. Look at your skin. Happy birthday, Cheeky. Happy birthday to you. Today is Cheeki's birthday. Cheeki is turning 10 today. [snorts] Oh my gosh. Wouldn't be a vlog if I don't get emotional. But yeah, I can't believe she's been with me for 10 years. She is officially She's a senior dog. She's 70. That is insane.
Okay, let's get ready for the day. I am loving the way my skin is looking these days. I mean, granted, I did just get a facial, but oh my gosh. Wow. I'm just rehydrating it with Anua's Rice 7 camide. I've been doing my makeup a little bit differently these days, particularly the blush. So, this is the Patrick Ta's liquid transition brightening blush, and I just apply that underneath my eyes as like a color corrector. And then I'll blend that in. But you see how that just kind of brightens everything up. And then I'm gonna go in with concealer. You could even go a little bit lighter. I feel like every time I talk to y'all, I'm like, "This is a really good foundation." But
I swear there, this has been a really, really great year for foundation. This, I would say, is more of like an everyday lightweight foundation. But this almost feels like a serum. Like it reminds me of the foundation that Ilia had, but this one has way more. or it like emulsifies way better to your skin, but it feels like a serum. Like look at that. How it just melts into your face. It look like a piece of sashimi. It's perfect. We might as well hydrate the lips. Can't leave those hanging. Still loving the CN the CNP laboratory.
The pepper mint. I feel like there's something about this month where things are finally snapping into place in my mind. the beginning of like I guess the half of the year I've just been noticing more things about myself just gathering more information like slowing down long enough where I can actually like hear and feel what my body is trying to communicate to me like it could be as simple as like coffee like for example I'm drinking a cappuccino right now but I'm using decaf beans now I'm like honoring my sensitivity to caffeine like I love the taste of coffee but I can work around it using decaf beans now I can drink as many cappuccinos as Iing want. Like double shot, triple shot, it's all decaf, so it really
doesn't matter. I feel like I've just been applying more common sense into my life. Like if things are not working, like I got to accept the fact that they aren't and move on. So this one has two types of blushes. So I'm going to go in with this pinky light pink one and I'm going to pat it underneath my eyes right here. Okay. And then I'm going to go in with the darker shade and then kind of transition it out like that, too. So, I put it like directly underneath my eyes. And I feel like it just creates a super nice flush look. You can stop here if you want more of a natural feel, but I'm not. I'm going to keep going. I feel like this is the blush that's making everything pop.
This is in just enough. And I'll go in with the powder blush first. And I'll pop it directly underneath my eyes right here. And it just gives your face this really flushed pinky innocent filter. You can hit it with the cream on top. This one I have to be very strategic with it. It just kind of lifts everything up in place and I feel like it color corrects the dark circles. That is how I've been doing my blush. I feel like it took me six entire months to feel the best I felt in a while. And I know that I've expressed that in like a bunch of my videos, but I think it's also because I only really film when I'm feeling good. Like, why would I turn on the camera if I'm feeling like absolute ass? But anyway, I feel like I'm just a
lot more active on YouTube because I am feeling more grounded and rooted in myself. And it really stems from me applying common sense to my life. Yep. I feel like I'm like reparing myself again through parenting my son. So it could be as simple as like if I find myself like ruminating on something or really fixating on an issue that doesn't have a complete solution at that point, I will literally go out for a walk. Like I will walk myself like I am a dog. And with each step, I can feel the like the ruminations loosen and I'm like, "Oh, actually, I just needed to step away from this and I can come back in with like a clearer mind." So, walks are now the antidote for when I am overthinking.
In April, the reason why I was so miserable was because I was packing way too much in one day. And on days where I would complete everything, it would be I like I would be filled with so much satisfaction and accomplishment being like, "Fuck, I did that." But that's not sustainable to do to pack that much in every single day was kind of setting myself up for failure. So like the common sense thing to do is just to remove some tasks of a day. I don't know. And I don't know why I didn't I've never like allowed myself to do that before. I if anything I just saw it as like a I saw it as a challenge being like, "Oh, you can't do this, you wuss." Like I think I was just I was
just running too strict of a ship for myself. And so now, like a thing that I've been implementing is now when I see my list and I'm like, "Oh gosh, like I wake up and I feel really overwhelmed." Then instead of me being like, "Oh, I need to really tackle on this list. Let's ride ladies." It's like, no, I'm I'm actually going to drop three things from this list and move them to the next day. And that has been relieving a lot of pressure. Again, common sense. Oh my gosh. Yeah. When you break it down line by line, it's very simple. Feeling anxious? Go on a walk. Feeling overwhelmed? Do less things off your list. Is caffeine giving you anxiety?
Don't drink it. Or drink decaf. So, I don't know. These are just a few small examples in my life, but it has been helping. Oh wow. But yeah, I am just allowing myself to rest more and that has felt exceptional. And then we're going to add a little bit of synthetic glow back with Dior. So I'm going to go in with the pink highlighter and then dab that on my cheeks. This is more of like a controlled glow. Oh my gosh. Beautiful. Perfect. Apple, egg. So, I found this dog cake recipe. Okay. I just need an egg, peanut butter, an apple, and baking powder. That's actually looking pretty good. I feel like we're also going to have to make some muffins for ourselves.
Oh my word, these look perfect. I mean, look at how perfect Cheeki's cupcake came out. I have to try one. My curiosity is just off the roof right now. That cut so perfectly. Oh my goodness. Look at that. Oh, these are very, very brown. I fear I overbake these. Okay, let's give these a go. These muffins are definitely not my best work. I think I overdid these by 5 minutes. Should have just did 20 minutes, but I did 25. But cheekies, on the other hand, is a different story with a little candle.
Wow. Cheeky 10th birthday. Oh, it's okay, Cheeky. It's okay. Oh, wait. Okay. And I will blow it. Okay. You'll blow it. Okay. Cheeky, just stay here. Chicky, sit down. Cheeky. Down. Happy birthday to you. Okay. Blow it out, Lennon. I pretend I'm acting like Okay, let's Can you remove the um Yeah. Okay. Oh, that's that's Oh. Okay. That's a little crazy. Wait, Cheeky, that's too much. Hold on. Okay. I'm going to give it to you. Just Here we go. Let me just break it into little pieces.
She ate it with one bite. Yeah, she did. She was going to choke. Okay. See, too. That's so weird. Why is it in this shape? It's as long as someone I know. But who could it be? What if I go like this? Can I chop it? What is it? I'm going to finally reveal it.
