3
that i want to do but before
4
that i want to make some scones i got this mix
5
from world market should be pretty easy to make i'm just really excited to have some scones with my coffee, so I'm going to try to make them really fast.
6
It says in a bowl, add water to mix
7
and stir with a fork
8
until combined all right
9
that seems pretty good to me now it says to just put 12 heaping tablespoons onto a baking sheet
10
okay i could only fit nine of them
11
but i think they look pretty good i know scones aren't supposed to look perfect anyway
12
so i'm hoping they just look like scones by the end of this into the oven for 16 minutes
13
okay i'm really happy with them they look so cute this one's a little wonky but that's okay
14
you guys i wish you could smell this right now it
15
smells like fall it smells like the craft store like william
16
sonoma i've been wanting to make these scones for the longest time
17
but i think i was just waiting for like the perfect like fall day
18
but i realized like today's sunday and it's good as any it's already september 19th so cheers
19
really crispy on the outside and soft in the middle
20
okay now i'm ready to work we are here in my little art studio
21
and like i said i want to do a lot of
22
sculpting this week is going to be a little crazy because we are launching uncomfy World.
23
It's the project that I've been working on alongside three other women for the past nine months.
24
I hired an illustrator
25
and two web developers to help me create a virtual world for all of my clay pieces to live in.
26
Basically, it's like a little love letter to little Tammy who
27
grew up in the early 2000s with dress -up games and Build -A -Bear Workshop and clay.
28
It's all of those three things combined.
29
You get to choose your character, customize it, name it, and then I will make it for you
30
and hopefully make it a really really special experience for you at the same time.
31
So last week I designed the certificate of authenticity.
32
I already opened it up and here is what they look like.
33
I don't know if you can tell I ordered it on a linen piece of paper
34
and the texture of the paper isn't what I imagined it to be.
35
It's kind of very grainy and it's not really giving what I thought it would
36
so I actually reordered the certificates with two different types of paper to see which ones I like better.
37
The good thing about everything being made to order is
38
that I have a lot of time to work out these things like paper
39
because the earliest batch is not going to be shipped out for another month
40
so I'm really trying to perfect these certificates for you guys.
41
But yeah this is my first time making something like this so I'm really excited.
42
I also made the prototype for the clay characters last week
43
but it cracked and I also cannot find it for the life of me
44
so this morning we are gonna remake the prototype.
45
I'm actually gonna sculpt two of them today
46
because i want to hit two birds with one stone i gave my friends amanda
47
and emmy early access to my site and these are the characters
48
that they created they both happen to be bears
49
which i thought was so cute so i'm gonna make them their characters
50
and they're gonna be the very
51
first uncomfy world characters ever Here we go.
52
I love you, too.
53
Let's go.
54
all right guys it's about 5 40 now
55
and i just finished glazing both of these guys i ended up making one keychain
56
and one desk friend just to show people
57
that this is what it'll look like
58
if they order a figurine instead of a charm it's just
59
a little guy who sits like this i also printed out
60
some of these custom character stickers for people who can't afford
61
to buy a clay piece i wanted to make sticker packs for y 'all as well, so I did that.
62
I think they look so cute.
63
The sticker pack is going to come with five stickers, and two of them are going to be custom made for your custom character, just like this.
64
And then here are the other stickers.
65
They're just little stickers of the artwork from the website that I really, really love, especially this little retro flip phone.
66
I had a flip phone growing up, and it was like one of the best memories of my life.
67
The original plan was for me to just photograph everything right now, but it's really cloudy.
68
I didn't think the sun would set this fast yet
69
because it's technically not officially fall yet
70
but i guess the equinox is going to happen in two days
71
so it makes sense that the sun sets so fast
72
but i'm not sure if the sun has set yet or
73
if it's just cloudy so i think i'm gonna go try to take some photos of these
74
and maybe the clouds will break as soon as i get there you never know with colorado success
75
after a long day of sculpting nothing makes me feel better than being in my jammies
76
and taking off my makeup and you guys know
77
that i deal with hormonal acne quite a bit
78
but it's gotten a lot better
79
and i've actually simplified my skincare routine over the past few months i'm learning
80
that healthy radiant skin comes with consistency not complexity
81
and this omnilux contour face mask makes it easy to incorporate
82
clinically proven led light therapy into your daily routine for just 10 minutes
83
so i'm just gonna put this on now and i'll see you in 10 minutes
84
the omnilux contour is dermatologist recommended fda cleared
85
and designed with wavelengths known to stimulate collagen smooth texture
86
and keep your skin glowing
87
and you can use my all right i just unloaded my dishwasher
88
while doing my face mask at the same time so
89
that is the power of habit stacking this thing is super nice
90
because it automatically sets it for 10 minutes
91
so you don't have to set a timer
92
or anything it's preset for you and once you're done you just put it back into this little travel sachet.
93
Now I'm gonna do the rest of my skincare.
94
I'm going to take a look at this.
95
I'm going to take a look at it.
96
I'm going to take a look at it.
97
I'm going to take a look at it.
98
I'm going to take a look at it.
99
I'm going to take a look at it.
100
I'm going to take a look at it.
101
I'm going to take a look at it.
102
I'm going to take a look at it.
103
I'm going to take a look at it.
104
I'm going to take a look at it.
105
Thank you.
106
Thank you.
107
Thank you.
108
yeah we did a test order we i did i signed
109
the guest book i did too wait ali okay you should make a character
110
if you can
111
and add it to the guest book we did a bunch of like audits this morning too
112
so it should be like good performance wise
113
and stuff i try it was trying desperately to get a good page flip animation
114
and i had to give up because i got one
115
but it wasn't good like i had one
116
and i was like that's gonna i can just like keep working on it but that
117
hello it's been a couple days we're on the floor
118
oh someone just made an order we're on the floor today
119
because i just want to chat a bit
120
and feel a little more grounded also transparently everything is a
121
mess right now there's literally no table space to even put my camera on
122
because of the tornado
123
that is my small business after a launch i haven't even started sculpting yet
124
and everything is a mess because of all the product photos
125
and i recently just got a new shipment of these certificates of authenticity
126
so i was testing out what they would look like with the little flower stamp
127
and i love them i feel like they just look
128
so much better than they did originally which I'm really happy about
129
but needless to say I just have to update you guys
130
on how the launch went for Uncomfy World real quick this is truly like the passion project
131
that I was working on for the past nine months actually I think it's better
132
if I just show you welcome to Uncomfy World it's my
133
new website that's completely interactive for the design of the website I wanted to make it look like my desk
134
and that you were encountering my workspace and just like rummaging through my things.
135
This is like a tiny clay workshop where you can build your friend.
136
This fountain pen is my about page.
137
I really like how the picture here moves too.
138
This little book is the shop all.
139
This little letter is my email newsletter.
140
The contact page is designed after the very first flip phone
141
that I have and I love Polaroids
142
and this is where the community board slash guest book is
143
but my favorite part of this website is actually the radio
144
because the dad of one of the developers actually composed all this music just for this project.
145
I personally feel like the music makes this feel
146
so much more like a game so you can keep this tab open
147
and play music while you build your friend
148
and yeah this is the friend builder you can make a keychain some stickers a desk friend
149
or just play for fun and i feel like i've showed this part already
150
but i'm really proud of this everything is hand illustrated by my dear friend ally
151
and it's just it's the best thing ever you can customize
152
the house name it of course i always name mine winnie
153
and then you can save the polaroid as a digital keepsake
154
because everyone deserves a little whimsy you don't have to pay for this at all
155
or you could add it to the guest book this is
156
where the community is where everyone has created their own character
157
and sent a little message to everyone as well
158
and this little guest book is what i'm actually proud of the most
159
because it's tangible proof that real life people are enjoying this site
160
and feeling the cozy and whimsiness
161
that i've tried to design into every aspect of this project like even more than the sales
162
that i made from the keychains
163
and the desk friend like even more than the money i'm just
164
so happy that people are playing this little game and and
165
that it's bringing joy to them i got an email from a mother saying
166
that she played this all morning with her daughter
167
and like i absolutely just burst into tears
168
because i remember the feeling of being a little kid too
169
and feeling like i shouldn't burden my parents by asking for things, but you can bet I spent all day playing online games like free little mini games on my family's computer
170
and it just made up so much of my childhood
171
so far we have 898 friends who have shared their little friend with us
172
and it just means the world to me
173
that i was able to make this little world for almost 900 people
174
and it's only been four days we launched on tuesday
175
which was the fall equinox and today is saturday
176
so i think by next week we'll definitely have over a thousand uncomfy world friends in our little guest book
177
so my favorite thing recently instead of scrolling through instagram i've
178
just been obsessively reading every entry in this guest book here
179
we have cider cider loves baking in short walks to the
180
coffee shop they also never miss the chance to meow at
181
the full moon we also have bread full who says to be warm
182
and soft like bread i love how creative you guys are
183
with the outfits like literally none of them look the same y 'all are very creative with the names too.
184
One of them is named Latte the Bear, Lemony Gigi, Bon Bon Pumpkin Spice, and of course we can't forget about Egg.
185
So yeah that is Uncomfy World.
186
I hope you can tell how much love
187
and care went into this website and I hope you can feel that you know real people made this.
188
Like everything is based on the handmade clay sculptures that I made for the past five years.
189
I creative directed everything all the illustrations are hand -drawn the
190
web developers have their dad make the music for the site
191
and yeah i hope you get to check it out
192
if you have time i really do hope
193
that this is just the start of uncomfy world we have
194
so many ideas the dev team really wants to make little mini games for you guys
195
so imagine like a maxine panko game comment down below
196
if that's something you're interested in because i don't know
197
that would be a crazy side quest if i went from a cozy artist to cozy game developer.
198
Anyway here's a look at the mess
199
that I've made this past week due to the launch and it's not just in the studio.
200
My life has just been such a mess outside of
201
that as well because as some of you guys know I am moving.
202
Realistically it's gonna get much worse than this.
203
Technically this is the calm before the storm
204
so since today is Saturday I figure this is a good day as any to do a little 90 minute apartment reset.
205
I've done this a couple times in the past.
206
It's where I follow this schedule to quickly tidy up my apartment as fast as I can
207
and not let perfection or obsession get in the way because life is just entropy.
208
Everything is going to come back to the state of chaos.
209
So believe it or not, I wasn't planning on doing an apartment cleanup in this video, but it needs to be done.
210
So we're actually going to start here in the living room
211
and sorry if you hear hooten
212
and hollering outside I think there's like a huge event going on
213
but I'm gonna edit this schedule just slightly
214
because it allots 15 minutes for mopping
215
but I am lucky enough to have a little robo vacuum
216
so I don't actually have to do
217
that myself instead I'm gonna allot those extra 15 minutes for picking up
218
and putting things away because I just know myself
219
that part is what's gonna take the longest for me I'm
220
so excited to get everything clean and put away
221
because I feel like for the past month I've just been having such a hard time with object permanence and finding things.
222
Maybe it's because of stress, but I'll literally put down my phone and five minutes later have no idea where it went.
223
Same thing with my house slippers or my water bottle.
224
I'll have to go through the whole apartment for like 10 minutes straight to even just find any of those things.
225
And not going to lie, it's been like a really big damper on my time management
226
because I just spend so much time trying to look for shit.
227
So I think this cleanup should help.
228
Okay, I have a 30 -minute timer.
229
Let's do it.
230
Fun fact, my makeup bag
231
that I use every day is handmade by one of you guys who sent it into my P .O box, so thank you so much.
232
okay guys I finished my makeup desk I decided to also aggressively declutter at the same time as this
233
because I'm moving
234
so soon like I really don't want to be carrying all of this stuff with me
235
so I just put all of my old makeup
236
that I don't use in this box I saved some palettes to give to my sister
237
but the rest of them i'm just gonna have to throw away they're either too old
238
or expired or i'd feel gross giving it away to someone else as far as time goes
239
that literally took more than half of the 30 minutes chat am i cooked now
240
that i think about it every time i do this 90 minute challenge i never successfully do it
241
but i think the point is just to add some pressure a little bit of fun
242
so that i don't just dilly -dally
243
and spend literally all day organizing like one thing um
244
because i tend to do
245
that scratch the 90 minutes we're gonna give myself an additional 60 minutes just to organize
246
and declutter because i am kind of multitasking
247
so i'm resetting the clock to an hour to tidy up my whole apartment i think that's pretty doable
248
and we're restarting
249
I'm going to add a little bit more to it.
250
I'm going to add a little bit more to it.
251
I'm going to add a little bit more to it.
252
I'm going to add a little bit more to it.
253
I'm going to add a little bit more to it.
254
I'm falling in love I'm falling in love
255
I'm falling in love I'm falling in love I'm falling in
256
love I'm falling in love I'm falling in love I'm falling
257
in love I'm falling in love I'm falling in love I'm
258
falling in love I'm falling in love I'm falling in love
259
I'm falling in love I'm falling in love I'm falling in
260
love I'm falling in love I'm falling in love I'm falling in love
261
I'm falling in love The living room is all tidied up.
262
I'm going to stop the timer now.
263
The main thing that I really wanted to tidy up was my couch area
264
because that's kind of where I nest and do all my editing work and journaling and stuff like that.
265
So it was just a lot of my clutter around that area, honestly.
266
So I found a little shelf in our media console where I can put all of my journaling stuff.
267
And I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner instead of just having it on the couch.
268
Now we have half an hour left to do the office, which you guys saw earlier.
269
But before that, a little treat for myself.
270
I have some crisp apple olipop and then some treasure joe's oat creamer.
271
I'm gonna make myself a little midwestern soda
272
Tastes like fall
273
okay guys I finished tidying up my office space which actually didn't take that much time at all.
274
I think it just looked a lot worse than it actually was.
275
The last thing I have to do for this area is refill my printer ink.
276
I've been meaning to do this all week, so let's do it.
277
all right now all the colors are full speaking of printers this whole time
278
that i've been cleaning my 3d printer has been running i
279
think it just finished printing here she is i ended up
280
moving the 3D printer from my living room into this little workshop because it just makes so much sense.
281
I don't know why I didn't think of that at first.
282
Here's what I printed.
283
It's a little shelf for my little sculptures.
284
Here's the vision.
285
Because I just opened up my shop again, I'm going to be sculpting a lot of desk friends
286
and I thought this would be so cute to display them and make little videos as I made each one.
287
Although this works for my old desk friends like it's perfect
288
for this little coffee bara unfortunately my newer desk friends are a little taller
289
and like bigger so it doesn't actually fit in this one it's still
290
so cute though
291
so i'm probably just gonna save this for all of my
292
really tiny tiny pieces like i found this little monkey
293
that i made for my mom
294
when i was like nine years old this one would definitely
295
fit here too nine years old versus 22 years old
296
so cute now that we're done putting stuff away i can start on the other things.
297
So I'm gonna start the robot vacuum so I can do the floors
298
while I take Winnie on a walk and then
299
when I come back I'll start wiping down all the surfaces
300
and do all the fun stuff like the toilets and the trash.
301
It's 4 30 right now
302
so I think by the time I do everything hopefully it'll only be six o 'clock
303
and then I can just enjoy the rest of my night.
304
That's my big goal.
305
Amen.
306
Thank you.
307
Thank you.
308
okay guys I finished the bathrooms the living room feels
309
so good and clean now the last thing I have to do is take out the trash
310
all right I took the trash out
311
but I think the sun is setting right now so let's go outside and see it Wow
312
Well guys, I think we did it.
313
I have my tea, I have some orange chicken baking in the oven, and I think that's the end of this vlog i feel like
314
so much happened in this vlog
315
but it's like a good time capsule of where i'm at
316
in my life just a lot of things are happening i've been working on a lot of projects obviously
317
but it feels
318
so good to actually have one of them wrapped up obviously
319
it's not finished per se i still have to sculpt all the orders of course
320
and it's my shop so it's like a living thing but it's
321
so nice to have it out there in the world instead
322
of just in the preparation phase I also wanted this vlog
323
to show a bit more of my personal life specifically because next week it's all going to be sculpting.
324
I'm excited to film that video but for now, Uncomfy signing out.
325
I'll see you next time.
326
How do you sleep?
327
It's so bad.
328
You're right in your turbles.
329
Oh no, you're good.
330
I actually don't get how the Mavs thinks I can get out from the house.
331
Here we go.
332
Thank you.
333
Regular.
334
Thank you so much.
335
You are very welcome.
336
Can we get some water?
337
I'm going to leave right now.
338
I'm so wild.
339
I'm so wild.
340
Thank you.
341
Thank you.
342
Thank you.
343
We're going to grab some syrup or water, maybe anything else.
344
I'm hushin' the dog on the tank
345
I'm winding up stones on the edge of the bank Rally the troops for another refrain
346
I sing this softly to myself I sing this softly to myself
347
I'm buried beneath the sand There's no way to speak

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
