Shadowing Practice: MAY VLOG 🌸 productive days in my life! cleaning, working out, grocery shopping, nails, filming, etc! - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello you guys welcome back to my channel we are starting

the day with a return about a month ago I bought these two tops from urban outfitters

that I thought were so cute I was

so excited about them I was too lazy to try them on

and of course I go home I try them on

and neither of them fit also

when I was picking these out I did not even realize

they are the same top in different colors I totally thought there were different tops

because one of them was on the hanger like this

and one was on the hanger like this I got two different sizes neither of them fit somehow very unfortunate

because they're both really cute But I have been putting off returning them.

So we're gonna go do that.

I'll probably walk around the store I love looking at their home decor stuff.

Actually, I just remembered there was something I wanted to get

that was online I don't know

if they'll have it in store It was this really cute photo booth strip frame

that had a little hook on it So you can like hang your keys by the door or something.

I thought that was cute So maybe we'll see if I can find that it would basically be free with the return.

So might as well.

Okay, let's go inside Okay, we are back home.

They unfortunately did not have the little photo strip frame that I was looking for,

but that is okay.

I've recently gotten back into writing things down in my planner.

I feel like for a while I was just keeping everything in my head,

which was really not working.

Sometimes I just get lazy and I don't feel like sitting down and writing everything out,

but once I finally do it again,

I remember how helpful it was.

I'm way less stressed when I just put everything I need to do on paper

and I found that I'm more likely to do it.

Sometimes towards the end of the day,

I'll start to get lazy and just want to sit on the couch and do nothing.

But then I'll remember that I have things written down on my to-do list

that I have not crossed off yet and it motivates me to do it because I want to have everything crossed off.

Whereas if I hadn't written anything down,

I probably would have just stayed on the couch,

which some days that is just what you need and you just want to rest.

Some days it just feels better mentally to get your stuff

done instead of like pushing things off to the next day

and just having this huge like mental to-do list

that feels very overwhelming so i write down even like simple things like i have

so much laundry to catch up on

so i'm gonna write down laundry i have some

that i need to put away before i start a new load i feel like i've been out of town

so much over the past month

and it's gonna continue over the next two weeks too

so i've just been

so behind on laundry to make some revisions to a youtube

video i need to do my nails today i have to film something tomorrow

and it may sound silly but i just like to have my nails done when I know I have to film something.

Day-to-day vlogs are obviously an exception,

but I don't feel like myself when I don't have my nails on.

I'm going to be making some and I'm really excited about it.

So just need to clean up my room and the living room.

There's a huge mess behind me,

so I'll make sure I do that today too.

It feels like I have more to do.

I do feel like I'm forgetting something that I wanted to get done today, but oh well.

First thing I want to do is at least clean up the living room and lay out my laundry.

Maybe we'll save cleaning my room for later today while my nails are drying,

but I'm going to be in here while I my nails

and i just want to be hanging out in a clean living room so let's do a very quick clean

so something i'm really excited about is mej asked me to shoot some content for their new launch

which is this new set of their hair

and body mist they even sent this little mini magazine

and i think it's the cutest thing ever this is kind of what their new collection looks like

so much cute stuff i'm gonna be doing this next week my friends

and i love mej we actually have a girl's trip to Joshua Tree Plan

and MJ specifically asked to do it with some friends

and have fun with it and we are so excited

but I wanted to make some cute nails that would kind of match the theme of their new launch.

I actually just got this PR box today in the mail from them.

Is this not the cutest packaging ever?

The new scent is called Lychee Baby if I haven't already said that.

I really like it.

It smells very summery.

It has notes of lychee,

bergamot, jasmine, lemon, and amber.

Sorry if you can hear the washer going also.

I cannot wait.

I love MJ so much.

I have used their stuff forever.

Their hair clips are the ones that I reach for

when I know I want my hair to stay in place and not have any issues with it.

Plus the designs are so cute.

So I wanted to make nails to match,

like I said, and I had this specific vision in my head and it felt like nails that I had seen before.

I couldn't find any pictures on Pinterest that were like what I was looking for.

And then I realized it was not nails that I was thinking of.

It was literally this hair clip that I wanted to use as inspo.

I want to do a bunch of fun, different styles of nails.

Maybe one of them being white with little pink polka dots,

maybe a couple hot pink French tips,

and then a nail with some strawberries.

I don't know.

But when I have an idea in my head that I can't quite find an inspo picture for,

I will just draw the nails myself.

Terribly, mind you.

Don't expect this to be good.

100

So here's what we have so far.

101

Okay, I'm thinking French tip for the middle finger with a little strawberry.

102

Maybe pink with

103

thin red stripes for the ring finger polka dots for the pinky maybe a big strawberry on the thumb

104

and then more polka dots on the pointer finger this is

105

the design i have now i'm just gonna write down what

106

colors i want okay i have all the colors written down now let's see

107

if i can properly bring this vision to life i'm not so sure i like that Ok.

108

илась Pertime Massembly

109

You id solutions You guys look how cute these nails turned out.

110

I really really love them I think they took about like an hour and a half.

111

I'm gonna have to get used to having long nails again I only really have them for special occasions,

112

I guess but today we are going to the gym If you're new here,

113

I'm someone that struggles with anxiety a lot.

114

So naturally gym anxiety is something that I have

115

and I really want to get over it I don't go

116

to the gym nearly as much as I want to I do really well with classes

117

because I am being shown exactly what to do But something

118

that I really want to do is weight lift

119

and there's not really like classes for weight lifting I guess the closest thing would be a personal trainer Anyways,

120

i'm gonna go in there and I might just do a bunch of random machines

121

and not like a well put together workout And

122

that is okay The point of me going to the gym

123

at least for right now is to just get more comfortable with it

124

and learn the machines Work on my form stuff like that

125

And then we'll get into like actually planning out workouts

126

when i'm more comfortable if that makes sense

127

If anyone else has gym anxiety or has had it in the past and gotten over it,

128

please leave me a comment I would love to hear how you overcame it or what's been helping you.

129

My goal is to do legs But again,

130

we will see what's open.

131

So let's go inside Okay,

132

you guys i'm done with my workout and I am

133

so glad that I did that I did legs I took the squat rack

134

that was in the very corner I was doing my workout

135

and a girl comes over kind of next to me

136

and starts doing her own workout And this was

137

when I was doing rdls and i've always been unsure about my form on those

138

And she just looked strong and looked like she knew what she was doing I was like,

139

I should just ask her

140

and I worked up the courage to ask the girl how my form was And she was so nice.

141

She gave me a couple tips.

142

I was glad I was doing pretty good I just didn't need to be going as low as I was

143

But when she was talking you could just really tell she knew what she was talking about I was like,

144

oh my gosh, that was so helpful.

145

Like thank you so much And she was like,

146

yeah, of course like I work here I'm a personal trainer here

147

and I was like I literally was just thinking about how I want a personal trainer

148

But in my head I was like I want it to be a woman

149

and I want to feel comfortable around them

150

because i'm already anxious about working out

151

And in my head I was like it would be a pain to find

152

that in reality It probably wouldn't have been that hard,

153

but it just felt like it was meant to happen

154

and I was meant to meet her

155

So who knows maybe I will get a personal trainer

156

and go more often But even just

157

that interaction gave me a little bit more confidence

158

and just made me feel better about being there But after I did the squats and rdls,

159

I was already feeling a little bit tired

160

and shaky I also wasn't even doing that much in weight

161

But I feel like when you weight lift for the first time after a

162

while it is just so hard

163

So I just decided to go try out one of the machines

164

and then just go on the treadmill So

165

that is what I did definitely a very short workout

166

But like I said the point of me going right now

167

is to just get myself comfortable This was such a good experience of going for the first time in a while.

168

I also don't usually go by myself I feel like

169

that is a factor

170

that I don't know why I haven't mentioned yet I always

171

go with my boyfriend who can help me with all of these exercises

172

But I obviously don't want to be dependent on him to

173

go to the gym I want to feel comfortable going by myself too.

174

So that's actually the main part of it I don't know why I didn't say that before.

175

Anyways, I've been yapping.

176

Let's go home I want to shower.

177

It's gonna feel so good to shower.

178

I'm gonna eat something and I'm gonna spend the day pretty much editing So that's the plan for today

179

All right, you guys, after that day,

180

it was time to start preparing for Mother's Day and for my trip to Joshua Tree.

181

I was basically going straight from Joshua Tree to my sister's house for Mother's Day,

182

and I love to bring some kind of sweet treat with me whenever I'm seeing my friends or my family.

183

And I knew I had to make some Mother's Day sugar cookies.

184

So I went ahead and prepped those and just packed them up and put them in the freezer.

185

I also had to wrap some Mother's Day gifts and get Julia's present all ready.

186

The next day I woke up and self-tan.

187

I really liked how it turned out.

188

This was my marinating and self-tan outfit.

189

And I knew I wanted to make a birthday cake for Julia.

190

She's not a big sweets person,

191

but she's had these espresso martini cupcakes that I've made and she said she loved them.

192

So I knew I had to make the cake version of that.

193

So this was me getting that ready and doing the crumb coat.

194

And then it was basically time to pack and head out.

195

I was picking up my friends at the airport.

196

So I left and on the way,

197

Olivia Rodrigo's presale was happening for her new tour.

198

So I had to stop and lock in and get us tickets.

199

I cannot wait.

200

Comment down below if you got tickets too.

201

But yeah, then we made it to Joshua Tree.

202

We stayed in the cutest Airbnb.

203

It was a nice relaxing trip.

204

We honestly just hung out at the house a lot and talked and we watched movies.

205

We tried out some coffee shops in the area.

206

We also did the MEJ content,

207

which I think turned out really cute.

208

Also, you can see how Julia's cake turned out once it was decorated.

209

I did like polka dots.

210

We did karaoke that night.

211

Here's julie and avery doing it.

212

Yeah, overall it was a great trip I didn't end up filming anything for mother's day

213

because that part of the trip was super quick But

214

that was great too

215

and now we are back home Hello you guys i'm back from joshua tree I don't know

216

if I said this

217

but I also went to go see my family for mother's day right after joshua tree

218

So I was gone for like a week

219

and I feel like the two days before just got

220

so crazy trying to like prepare for that We are back home now and i'm getting back into my normal routine,

221

which i'm very excited about There's a lot going on right

222

now just in my personal life a lot of like uncertainty with like the near future nothing bad Just uncertain

223

and it's like stressful figuring things out right now

224

So I think being in a routine is going to really help me

225

and just give me that like solid foundation that I need while i'm feeling a bit Stressed.

226

So anyways today is gonna be a fun day.

227

I want to film some beauty content I feel like I never

228

or not never but like rarely film beauty content I don't know why

229

so I wanted to like film a cute little video today

230

And then after

231

that I need to just catch up on some editing I might want to like meal prep something

232

but since I want to film some makeup content I wanted to get my eyebrows done.

233

My makeup always applies so much better after I get my eyebrows done It's like just so smooth and just clean.

234

So that's the first thing i'm gonna do today.

235

I'm so excited It looks so good.

236

Okay, the eyebrows are done.

237

Here's what they're looking like.

238

Feels so much better I also can never really film in there

239

because it takes three or four minutes to get them done

240

And i'm pretty much like holding my brows the whole time that time was more painful than usual,

241

but it was worth it I came home to a super fun package in honor of api month mej

242

and t3 micro collaborated and made this hot pink blow dryer This is so cute.

243

They're both asian-owned brands as you guys know mej just came out with their lychee baby scent

244

So that's the theme of the blow dryer

245

And I think i'm actually gonna style my hair with this

246

right now before I film my makeup videos with the package They actually sent another one of these

247

and i've really been wanting to do a giveaway I think

248

i'm gonna do multiple giveaways on multiple platforms I just have a lot of pr

249

that I can't use as just one person regardless of

250

if I love the product or not I just know i'm not gonna go through

251

that much of something

252

So why not share especially with you guys who have made it possible for me to be getting cool pr like this?

253

So i'm gonna put together a little pr box including the lechee baby mej hair mist

254

and of course some other fun goodies So i'll have the info to enter in the description box.

255

I just realized I forgot to make a coffee I was gonna do

256

that when I got home So maybe i'll do that

257

and have it while i'm styling my hair and then we'll film my makeup videos

258

So My hair is all done this side I feel like

259

turned out a little better I think this side like the pieces got mixed together a little bit more

260

So it looks a little bit frizzy,

261

but let's take out the big roller and then comb through It always looks crazy when I first take it out.

262

Oh, wait, that's really cute I really like

263

when it goes in towards your face

264

And I know a lot of people like it

265

when it's going like away from your face like

266

that I really like that too But I feel like towards your face just feels more rachel green to me,

267

I guess I don't know if I should comb through it yet I'm scared

268

that i'm just gonna ruin all of the curls because my hair falls so quickly I'm,

269

actually surprised that this side stayed while I did this side.

270

Maybe I just won't comb through it Let me try shaking it out Okay,

271

this is cute i'm gonna finish it off with my hair

272

mist This smells like summer i'm picturing myself like sitting at

273

a restaurant by the beach sipping on a little lychee cocktail Okay,

274

let's do my makeup.

275

This is kind of the behind the scenes now I feel

276

like a lot of my short form content is blogs

277

But I really want to mix in some beauty makeup content

278

because that is something that I love so much and I really enjoy All that to say,

279

I want my personality and my interests and my hobbies

280

and my life to be reflected more in my short form content too.

281

Let's go film.

282

I thought I'd quickly show you guys my filming setup.

283

It's different than how I would normally film sitting at my vanity doing makeup.

284

This is what our setup is looking like.

285

And then I have this little screen that I recently got

286

that plugs into your phone and mirrors it

287

so you can film with your back camera and you can still see what you're doing.

288

This is actually touchscreen too,

289

which is so, so nice and so convenient.

290

I also normally don't use this light,

291

but since I'm filming makeup content,

292

I decided to pull this one out.

293

Normally my setup would just be my phone attached to this little stand on my desk,

294

but since I'm using the MagSafe for this, I can't use this.

295

And then I would just screen share to my tv

296

but i just thought this setup specifically would be best for the video

297

that i'm filming i normally always use natural light

298

but today is an exception i'm gonna be

299

so excited to turn this off i'm already like getting tired of the light being in my eyes

300

but the video is just gonna be trying some new makeup not necessarily new releases

301

but new to me and just seeing how i like it so let's get started Okay,

302

you guys i'm done with my makeup i'm putting my light back up

303

so you guys can see what it looks like a little bit better But i'm obsessed.

304

I actually really love how this turned out.

305

I used green eyeshadow, which is

306

so unlike me I don't remember the last time i've put green eyeshadow on my eyes

307

if ever But chanel recently sent out some pr

308

that included this little green eyeshadow palette and i've been seeing

309

so many people try it And I just thought it looked

310

so unique and beautiful and I never would have gone for something like this

311

But I put it on and I think it's so cute

312

and so fun for spring

313

and then I tried some new blushes I love how the green

314

and the pink looks together I feel like this was the perfect combo

315

and then I used a lip tint from road

316

that I have not used in forever They asked to send me a restock of some of my favorite products

317

and I got to choose two lip tints

318

So one of them was pretzel i'm obsessed with pretzel pretzel is

319

so good for the other one I decided to get salty tan,

320

which I have not used in forever.

321

I forgot how good it is This shade is perfect,

322

but i'm so pleasantly surprised with how that turned out I'm happy with how the video turned out too.

323

I really liked having the light.

324

Anyways, now I'm all ready.

325

I don't know if I have any other short form content to film today.

326

I don't think I do.

327

So I am going to clean all this up.

328

I make a mess when I'm filming.

329

It's so bad.

330

And then we need to edit.

331

So let's get started on that.

332

Hey guys, it is now Monday.

333

This vlog has been all over the place and I'm so sorry.

334

We are at Trader Joe's right now.

335

I've been so lazy about grocery shopping and cooking and just haven't been eating good at all.

336

So I want to get a few things to make some stuff for the week.

337

I want to make a Greek bowl.

338

I want to make some pasta because I have a bunch of stuff right at home that I should probably use.

339

And then I have some bananas that are really ripe and ready to be turned into banana bread.

340

So I want to try a new recipe for that.

341

I'm gonna get a couple things for that and then just whatever else catches my eye.

342

You know after having a weekend where you just ate really bad,

343

you're just ready to eat not even like crazy healthy,

344

just like not junk food.

345

I feel like we just ate junk food all weekend.

346

It was honestly a really great weekend.

347

We went to the beach,

348

we went to the movies.

349

I feel like we did a lot this weekend.

350

I'm forgetting what we did,

351

but we saw the sheep detectives movie i saw the trailer for

352

that and i was like oh this is gonna be

353

so stupid i judged a book by its cover

354

but it was genuinely such a good movie i was

355

so pleasantly surprised by it you guys actually need to see it

356

and i'm not even joking i thought it was like a kid's movie

357

which it kind of is but anyone can watch it

358

and enjoy it i genuinely think you need to go see it it is so good anyways let's go inside

359

Okay guys I have my Trader Joe's bag right here

360

if you can I would definitely get one of these like

361

Styles of bags I don't know what it would be called

362

but it kind of acts as a little shopping basket It has a flat bottom

363

and it's so nice so much easier to carry your stuff It's all organized very nicely

364

so I don't want to like take stuff out right now But here is my little haul.

365

I also got some sourdough because I forgot about this like pesto tomato mozzarella toast

366

that I used to make It was so good and so easy.

367

You basically just put all the stuff on it

368

and air fry it It almost tastes like a mini pizza and it's so good.

369

I also got this vegan tiki masala I always heard people talking about it from Trader Joe's,

370

but I never tried it I don't go here very often,

371

but i've kind of just been on a Trader Joe's kick recently But yeah,

372

their tiki masala is so good.

373

It's just such an easy thing to have for dinner

374

because let's be real I am going to be lazy with cooking most days.

375

I am going to head home now I think that's gonna be the end of today's vlog.

376

I feel like it's been all over the place and I need to just end it and start A new one.

377

So I will pick up the next vlog very soon And maybe i'll show you guys some of the stuff I make.

378

So thank you guys so much for watching I hope you guys enjoyed

379

and I will see you very soon with another one.

380

¿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.
