Hi guys, it's Syd and welcome back.

One thing I know about you guys is you love a good long vlog.

And one thing I know about myself is I also love a good long vlog.

And a vlog is overdue.

It feels like it's been too long since I've done one on here. in the city.

So that's exactly what we're doing.

I actually think I got a DM on Instagram from one

of you guys asking for this type of fall themed vlog and that's what prompted this video.

So thank you to the girl who sent that.

There is something about fall in New York that feels

so sad special football season starting pumpkin spice lattes all of the decor

and like pumpkins on people's steps i do love

that especially being in new york i want to enjoy it

i really want this to feel like a cozy vlog grab

some tea in your favorite mug everyone needs a favorite mug we all know i have a favorite mug

or maybe go get like a pumpkin spice latte something festive

i want you guys to make it a cozy watching experience too and we're just gonna hang out today and be

I have the best friends in the world.

One of my friends, Helga, got me these really cute fall cups.

Look how cute.

It's the perfect housewarming gift.

And then my other friend, Christina, got me a housewarming gift as well.

It's this fresh loaf of sesame seed bread.

The second I opened this My life changed.

No, I'm kidding.

Whoa, this is very large compared to my face.

I went to sleep last night thinking about how excited I was to wake up

and make avocado toast with a fresh slice of bread from this.

So that's what we're going to do.

Oh my gosh.

Whoa.

It's hard.

It's thick.

I could not be more excited.

This bread has been on my mind since I went to bed.

Very simple avocado toast for breakfast.

Look at how doughy and delicious.

I'm gonna take these off first.

Peace test.

I'm going to make it a little bit more.

Thank you.

There's nothing like a fresh loaf of sourdough bread.

I'm really excited for today.

I am actually alone right now because my roommate is on a trip.

I have the apartment to myself for like a week and I already miss her.

I love just having like company around, but obviously as you guys know, being alone and being able to enjoy your own company is very important.

And I also just like, I love doing things alone too.

So I really want to go to Central Park today.

That is big on my list.

I'm going to go to the next video.

All right, guys, I'm heading out for the day.

Let me show you my outfit very quickly.

My absolute favorite jacket this fall is this one from Zara.

I've been wearing it all the time.

If you follow me on Instagram, you see this probably every day.

And then I'm bringing this bag.

I wanted to add like a pop of color today with some burgundy.

I love it so much.

It's just like so spacious.

And then I have my go -to black jeans from Abercrombie.

And then my earrings are Ophelia, my favorite jewelry brand ever.

I'm not biased at all.

They're coming soon, by the way.

I know I keep saying it, but I'm really excited.

Okay, but let's

head out.

Could I have the pumpkin spiced latte please? west side i

actually found this place on tiktok it's called la farine there's

like a little balcony up here it's really cute i think it's new

and they decorated it so like nicely for fall i had to get the fall drink

so i got their pumpkin spice latte

which they said is like homemade the sweet pumpkin puree is homemade

or something and then i also got an almond croissant i used to eat almond croissants

so much last year i went through like an almond croissant phase and I haven't had one in so long, so this one looked really good.

Clearly I'm eating a lot of bread today.

Ooh, this is so good.

The ice in this reminds me of the Chick -fil -A ice, which I love.

And it's like the perfect amount of sweetness.

It's not like fake tasting sweet.

It tastes like authentically sweet.

So it's basically healthy.

Okay, croissant time. So good.

I forgot how much I loved almond croissants.

I'm gonna be back on my trend of eating these every day.

What I love about this place too is you can see them baking things because they have like an open kitchen.

So I walked in and I saw them like kneading the dough.

I see them chopping things like right now.

Anyways, I'm gonna enjoy my pastry and coffee.

I promise you, I still think about this croissant.

It was so good.

I'll never forget it.

I knew that I had to walk around the neighborhoods in the Upper West Side.

One of my favorite parts about New York in the fall are the decorated stoops of people's apartments.

I love seeing like the pumpkins and the festivities.

It's so sweet and it just makes me so happy.

So I just like leisurely walked around for a good 30 minutes

and looked at all of the different decor and then finally made

so here i am in central park it is

so beautiful today it's like the perfect perfect day out i'm also i think just on sugar high from

100

that croissant it was the best croissant i've ever Okay, I was so astounded by how amazing that croissant was

101

that I texted my parents immediately

102

and I was like I just had the best croissant ever

103

and they didn't care by their responses You can see if you're in new york, you must go there I'm, so happy because now I have a spot to recommend

104

when people ask like sometimes my friends or family or random people Ask me like okay when i'm in new york, what is the best bakery?

105

What is the best coffee shop?

106

What is the best spot for this or that?

107

the best spot for an almond croissant.

108

It is at that place.

109

I already forgot the name, but I'm gonna put it here.

110

If I could give it a 12 out of 10, I would.

111

Is that legal?

112

I don't know.

113

Okay.

114

Wow, that was like such a dad joke.

115

Instead of reading today, I decided to bring my journal.

116

I just got this one.

117

It's called the five -minute journal from Aloe.

118

And essentially, there's just little prompts in here for a gratitude journal.

119

Each day gives you a spot for what you're grateful for, what could you do to make today great, highlights, and things that you learned in the day.

120

And I love prompts like this.

121

I feel like it is helpful, especially if you're like starting to journal like me.

122

I've really been journaling the past what to write.

123

Something I haven't done in so long

124

that I loved doing was the little advice sessions and I got a DM that I wanted to answer.

125

As you guys know, I do this anonymously.

126

If you ever have something you want advice on, I am probably not qualified, but I'm here to try to help.

127

I'm going to read one and we're going to talk about it.

128

Hey Sid, love your alone but not lonely videos.

129

I have social phobia and it's really hard for me to do daily tasks like go to the market and this

130

I love my own company, but it's just hard doing things with people around if you could give advice on your next video That would be nice.

131

First of all, I think that's very normal to feel

132

that way even myself who I feel like I preach going out

133

and doing things alone I still find it like scary and nerve -wracking sometimes.

134

Like even right now, me talking into my phone and there's people literally right in front of me.

135

I do feel a little awkward, but I think like with anything, repetition is what gives you more confidence.

136

The more that you do something that you're scared to do, or don't want to do, the easier it becomes.

137

I think it's just like also empowering.

138

It gives you so much more confidence doing something that you're afraid to do.

139

Because once you do something you think that you could never do, it just like proves to yourself "Wow, I can do things that I didn't think were possible for me." For me,

140

that's like what helps the most with my confidence, is doing things that I'm scared to do, obviously within reason.

141

I'm talking about safe things.

142

If you're really scared to like maybe go to a restaurant alone, maybe start small and just go to like your local coffee shop that you're super comfortable with.

143

And instead of going with a friend this time, maybe go by yourself.

144

And then slowly work your way up to things that are more intimidating.

145

I would really make a list of things that you find the most to least intimidating for you to do alone.

146

And I would start at the bottom of the list, the things that are the easiest for you.

147

And each time you will truly be more empowered.

148

And I hope that you also enjoy just doing things alone.

149

That is kind of like the beauty in finding yourself I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.

150

That sounds really corny, but it's the truth.

151

It's being able to just like know that like you don't need to like rely on another person for your happiness.

152

that's been really important for me.

153

And a lot of it has to do with my faith and my relationship with God.

154

And that helps me to feel so much less alone.

155

But yeah, that's what I would recommend, is just doing things and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, and it will get easier.

156

And I'm also proud of you for asking this question.

157

I think that's so great that you wanna try to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

158

So if you guys like these advice sessions, let me know.

159

Maybe I'll do more.

160

If you wanna DM me on Instagram, they're always anonymous.

161

Okay, what was I here for?

162

journaling i'm gonna journal now

163

so i just got off the train from central park on

164

the way home on the train i was thinking i would

165

love to make pumpkin bread tonight i saved a recipe on pinterest It's just been like on my mind.

166

So today's the day.

167

Have I ever made pumpkin bread?

168

No, this is a first.

169

I have to go to the store and get all the ingredients.

170

I also don't, like I'm not like necessarily obsessed with pumpkin, but it just feels right.

171

I'm heading to Whole Foods and I'm going to grab some ingredients.

172

I desperately need one of those collapsible mini grocery carts.

173

The ones that you see on TikTok.

174

I got a lot of stuff.

175

The walk home was definitely a journey.

176

My arms are noodles.

177

Got a ton of groceries.

178

Actually not, no, this is one bag.

179

That's not a ton.

180

Maybe I'm just saying that because it was so heavy.

181

I'm just going to do a quick little mini grocery haul.

182

This isn't like a standard week of everything I eat.

183

I just got some stuff for pumpkin bread and a few snacks.

184

One of the things I find the most helpful in terms of grocery hauls is snack ideas.

185

It's kind of hard to like be creative sometimes with stuff that's still healthy.

186

So recently I have been loving this combo.

187

These crackers are so delicious.

188

I don't know why.

189

I think it's because they're made of like almonds, but they don't really taste like almonds.

190

They're so good.

191

I don't really know how to illustrate that they're so good, but they just are.

192

And then I also got some mini sweet peppers.

193

So pretty much I just have these on a plate and crackers and hummus.

194

perfect snack.

195

I look forward to it so much.

196

Next, I got a poppy.

197

I love drinking these, especially the lemon lime flavor is my favorite.

198

I got some chicken noodle soup.

199

I thought it would be a yummy lunch tomorrow with my sesame seed bread.

200

Oh, I got an avocado that burst already.

201

That's unfortunate.

202

I got some yogurt from Siggy's, blueberries for my yogurt.

203

The rest of everything else are the ingredients for the pumpkin bread.

204

It's like pumpkin puree, chocolate chips, flour, and all that.

205

I actually have to hop on a couple quick meetings.

206

One is with my accountant, the other is with my manager.

207

I'm so excited for pumpkin bread and my show, which I'm going to tell you about.

208

Okay guys, so I had my microwave dinner.

209

You missed nothing.

210

Since I'm making my pumpkin and I just didn't want to put in work to cook.

211

I'm ready for this.

212

I'm hopeful, you know, I think it's gonna go well.

213

I have all of the ingredients.

214

set out.

215

We have some maple syrup for sweetener, some vanilla extract, of course the pumpkin pie spice, and some cinnamon.

216

Oh, and of course the most essential ingredient, the pumpkin puree.

217

If mine doesn't look like this, It's gonna be a sad day.

218

I used to be an eyeballer, meaning I would not do measurements.

219

until the day I did my eyeballing with banana bread and

220

It turned out.. basically like soup

221

so one of the unexpected benefits i've noticed since having a roommate olivia i guess i have roommates in college

222

but we didn't cook

223

so i never like really realized this is how much more practical cooking is

224

when you have a roommate cooking alone is kind of first of all it's more boring let's start there

225

and second of all you never make a recipe

226

that would only be able to have a serving for one person we always make dinners together because it's just fun people.

227

Me making this alone, it's like, who's gonna eat this?

228

Well, Just

229

me.

230

The pumpkin bread is complete and I'm gonna put it in the oven for an hour.

231

The apartment is smelling so good and cozy.

232

I wish I could transport the smell to you guys through the screen.

233

It just smells like fall.

234

I would actually make this just for the scent purposes.

235

I'm more excited to eat it, let's be honest.

236

It's almost 10 p .m and this is my favorite part of the night.

237

I get to just do nothing and watch a show.

238

Tonight, actually, as I'm filming this, is the night of the Victoria's Secret fashion show.

239

My favorite model is Irina Shike, so I really want to look for her.

240

Irina's so cool.

241

She has, like, such a confident vibe, like, when she walks down the runway.

242

I love her.

243

There's a lot of reasons I really like her.

244

Wow, Madison.

245

She's so stunning.

246

Thank you.

247

'cause they ate Does that even make sense?

248

That doesn't even make sense.

249

Aside from that, which I had to just, you know, catch up on, my one true love the past month has been Love is Blind.

250

My parents have tried to get me on this show for so long, and my roommate Olivia and I started watching it, which I feel very guilty about watching this without her.

251

You know, watching a show without someone that you're committed to watching it with is kind of messed up, but I will rewatch this with her.

252

It's so good.

253

It's one of those shows that, like, it's so bad.

254

Some of these couples are so bad.

255

I can't look away.

256

Like what's happening here, you know?

257

Like what did she just say?

258

What did he just say?

259

Like my face watching the show, I'm speechless.

260

It's pretty crazy.

261

But then there's also couples that I'm like rooting for, that I hope make it.

262

I'm very invested.

263

So I have been waiting all week for the new episode to come out, which came out.

264

today.

265

So that is what I'm about to watch.

266

Oh, I think my pumpkin bread is ready.

267

It's done.

268

My pumpkin bread is complete.

269

Oh, it smells amazing.

270

I don't really have a proper dish for this or like a platter.

271

So I'm going to figure out how to cut this.

272

All right guys, my show is done.

273

I'm gonna get ready for bed now.

274

It was so good.

275

I actually still have two more episodes to go, but I gotta go to bed.

276

I try to be in bed by 10.

277

And before that I need to take off my makeup and like do my skincare and stuff.

278

I know I got some messages asking for like a night routine.

279

So if you guys wanna see that, let me know.

280

'Cause I feel like I've really developed one since moving.

281

And I just love my new apartment. So perfect.

282

about for months

283

but I'm finally almost done I can't wait to tell you guys my final thoughts

284

when I finish it

285

if you have any book recs for me to read next

286

please leave them down below I want to read more fiction I love a good romance book

287

when you have a good book to look forward to before going to bed it's

288

so fun and so relaxing it's also

289

so nice to not be on my phone

290

and like social media before I go to bed I feel like I get such better quality of sleep anyways

291

Thanks guys for watching.

292

I love you.

293

Thanks for hanging out on this cute little fall day.

294

I had so much fun with you guys, even though I was by myself, but it doesn't really feel like that when I film with you guys.

295

Anyways, love you.

296

and I'll see you in the next vlog.

297

Bye!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
