Tonight I have a date.

It is a date with my boyfriend,

um, so it's not a first date or anything but I thought that we could get ready together.

I'm starting with my skincare.

So I have just washed my face and now I need to moisturise my skin.

My skin right now like sucks honestly because I have been travelling.

I've been travelling so my skin is kind of bad.

I'm gonna put on this moisturiser.

It's this one.

It's the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser.

Me and my boyfriend, we have been together for two years and today is the anniversary.

We have a long distance relationship right now.

It has not always been long distance but right now we are doing long distance.

So we're celebrating our anniversary on FaceTime.

Maybe that's sad but he's coming to visit me next week.

I also have a drink.

I'm gonna start with my foundation.

Honestly, I prefer to keep my relationship quite separate from everything I do here.

We have been together for two years and we live in different countries.

We actually, we have lived together before,

so we live together in Sweden

when I used to live in Stockholm I lived with my boyfriend we lived together

and it was so great um I really loved living with him

so yeah I definitely I definitely miss

that in many ways what am I doing I'm now gonna do my eyeshadow so I honestly like

I can't find my eyeshadow palette so I'm using this teeny little Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow.

It's got like four four colors um and honestly they're not really my they're not really my color.

When I do makeup I love doing like super dark like super dark eye makeup

but this is like really light it's like a little pastel

little pastel palette but it's cute today I have been working

so I work as an English teacher I know some people are asking me about opening classes

but at the moment I I do want to do

that in the future

so in the future I would love to open kind of classes on here

but I'm still trying to work out how this can work in terms of like my calendar

and my schedule and international payments and things like this.

In the UK, we do study languages at school,

but oh, I'm sharpening my eyeliner.

This is my eyeliner sharpener.

Yeah, so in the UK,

we do study languages at school,

but we do a really bad,

a really bad job at it, honestly.

So So we.. we start studying languages in secondary school.

Secondary school is when you are 12,

you start studying at 12,

but you do one year of French.

I then did one year of Spanish.

And then if you want to keep studying languages,

then you can, or you can do something else.

So I did not study any languages.

I did it for two years,

a year of French and a year of Spanish.

and I know, I knew nothing.

Like, now I speak a little bit of Spanish.

I can survive in Spanish if I need to but,

you know, my French...

Bonjour.

There's nothing else.

Like, my French does not exist.

I also realised I did not explain what I'm doing with my makeup so

I'm now using the L'Oreal Paris brown eyeliner whatever um I I started using brown eyeliner recently

because I used to wear

so much eyeliner like I was not an emo I was not like an emo kid

but I was not an emo kid but I wanted to be

but I still really like wearing a lot of eye makeup um

and it's funny because I don't know what I'm doing I just put it on

and I and I smudge it I just smudge it like this

and that's this is what I do I recently have been thinking about investing

isn't that scary but I feel like now I'm like a grown-up now

so I'm starting to think about okay financial stability going into

the future you know how am I going to save money things like this

and I don't know what I'm doing so if you have a book on finances that you recommend or maybe

maybe a content creator let me know I don't have a blush at the minute um a blush is something

that I really like I want to invest in um the other day I was in Sweden

and I went to Sephora which is where I bought this foundation

so I'm using the Charlotte Tilbury I don't know what this

is glow stick whatever um i yeah i bought this from charlotte tilbury

and i also wanted to buy one of the blushes from road

but they didn't have a road in sephora so i'm using a lipstick.

Is that bad?

But I use this lipstick.

I just do that.

And I get my fingers.

I get my fingers and I smudge.

I smudge the blush.

Something I haven't done yet is my mascara.

for some reason I always put off doing my mascara I put it off until the end

so I avoid doing it I don't know why I think it's

because my I like to put mascara on my lower lashes

so the eyelashes on the bottom and sometimes that makes a mess like my eyelashes on the bottom are quite long

so I can't finish my base,

my skin, until I have done my mascara.

I just curl my eyelashes up with my finger.

My microphone died so I've changed it.

What was I saying?

I was saying about my mascara, I think.

I always use the Clinique High Impact mascara.

100

It's the best mascara ever.

101

I actually, I've been using it for like eight, maybe 10 years, honestly.

102

107

¿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.
