I'm one of those people that the weather really affects my mood.

Look how nice it looks out today. So sunny.

My brother has some friends coming over later today so he set up a couple games for them.

This is one of my first times using the glow drops by Drunk Elephant and I actually love them.

I don't really know exactly what the day holds.

but it's more fun that way.

Okay, my makeup is done.

It's Definitely very glowy today, but now I'm gonna pick out my fit for today.

I don't know what to wear.

I think some color could be fun.

Otherwise, I could wear the Skims bodysuit, but I kind of want to wear a little bit more color today.

I tend to gravitate toward more neutral colors when I dress.

I've been trying to like be more fun, okay?

I've been trying to have more color in my wardrobe.

So yeah, I'm gonna wear this for today.

And then I'm wearing these pants.

These I got from Aritzia when I was in New York, if you watched that vlog.

For jewelry, a few rings today.

I'm gonna throw on this one I wear every day

and then this heart one that I just got and this other heart one from Brandy.

Okay guys should I wear these heart earrings or my gold hoops?

I just feel like I always wear hoops and I want to switch it up.

But I honestly can't.

They are a staple for a reason.

Getting ready just makes me feel better.

I honestly don't even really need to get ready.

I just enjoy getting ready for my day.

It really kind of like gives me a bit of a routine and just keeps me...

and i had the pumpkin chai and it was so so good i feel for a while.

I let it run its course.

Then once I'm sick of it, I replace it with something else.

I also have been trying to see this one girl here.

I think her name is Drew.

She watches my videos.

So hi if you're watching this.

And she's so sweet.

She's always working at the drive -thru.

I just like her so much and I get so much PR.

So if she's working, which I hope she is, I wanted to just give her some of these things.

There's some foundations, some skincare, and the super, super cute Sally because I feel like that will be easier.

Like, is this allowed?

Or like, well, I hope she doesn't get in trouble.

I came here yesterday.

She wasn't here.

So I'm just like hoping, hoping she's here.

How can I get started for you?

Hi, can I have the Grande Ice Pumpkin Chai, please?

Okay, 637.

Thank you.

Okay, I can't tell if this is her.

Like, I couldn't tell if it was her voice.

Hi.

How are you?

Good, how are you?

Good.

Do you want PR?

Yeah.

Are you serious?

Yeah, of course.

That's why I'm senior.

I tell her about you every freaking day.

Really?

Because I didn't remember.

I just love it.

You're literally so nice.

This is too much.

No, no, I get so much stuff.

Yes, yes, of course.

Oh my god.

Yeah, I do.

I was telling them about you, how nice you are.

Hi guys. So cute.

quick since i got my nails taken off i want to

100

at least paint them i haven't painted my nails in

101

so long like i can't remember the last time i got nail polish and painted them so i'm gonna see if

102

I think I'm gonna get this one.

103

I've been seeing this like on my social media.

104

It's by OPI, it's in the shade Maud About You.

105

And I feel like it's just like the perfect ballet pink color.

106

There was only one left, so that means it was a sign the best thing target's ever done was get an ulta put in

107

i feel like i spend so much money here So I'm home now.

108

So my brother decided to have some of his friends over and they're having this basketball tournament.

109

All right, I think it's time to paint my nails.

119

When I was at Target, by the way, I also grabbed this.

120

This is a Sally Hansen nail fortifier.

121

This is life -changing if you have brittle nails, especially like whenever I get my acrylics taken off, my nails are really weak.

122

I just put a couple coats of this on and my nails are just less likely to break this way, but I'm so excited to paint my own nails.

123

I cannot remember the last time that I did my own fingernail painting.

124

This color is just the perfect ballerina pink.

125

So, oh God, I'm actually like, I'm probably gonna be really bad.

126

I kinda like the smell of nail polish.

127

Do you guys also relate or no?

128

I think it smells so good.

129

It's kinda like when people like the smell of gasoline,

130

or chlorine in a pool. So, oh.

131

Thank you.

132

So I did have to have my mom.

133

136

and she helped me make them look less horrible can you tell

137

which hand i did and she did comment down below which hand did i do and which hand did she do Mm.

138

140

You know, I'm gonna rephrase that.

141

143

I try to be pretty thoughtful, but this time, I messed up.

144

I got gifts for two of my best friends.

145

They were my roommates last year and we graduated in May and I was going to give these to them

146

And then they just didn't come in time.

153

Let me go do this before Anything else.

154

Um, i'm about to mail something for maya and ash.

155

157

The way it's literally the grad gift I got them in May.

158

Thank you.

159

Honestly, I respect that.

160

Okay, I got their address from one of their moms, so now I can actually mail these.

161

Okay, I was driving up and I saw this box and I'm pretty sure it's PR.

162

It's Two -Face.

163

164

PR time I'm with Rosie PR is honestly like the most amazing thing I remember

165

when I was like 14

166

and I was just starting YouTube how much I wanted a

167

box of PR like I just thought it was the coolest thing still to this day

168

173

Let me just do a little PR haul quick.

¿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.
