1
Good morning guys, it's Syd and welcome back.
2
So I'm on the move this morning.
3
No sitting down intro.
4
We're getting straight to business.
5
It's Monday and I'm doing a week in my life.
6
I'm starting out the day going to work per usual at a coffee shop.
7
I find it better this way.
8
Like I find that I'm more productive by just getting out of my apartment like right away.
9
I don't know.
10
I feel like over time you just find things
11
that work for you and things that don't and it's something that's really helped me.
12
It's sunny today.
13
You already know it's gonna be a great day.
14
Quick outfit check.
15
I'm wearing this top from Brandy and then my jacket from White Fox.
16
You guys love this jacket.
17
I'm wearing this bag from Long Champ and then sweats or leggings.
18
Yoga pants.
19
Same thing.
20
The first thing I'm doing is a meeting with my accountant and it's actually in three minutes so I'm gonna hurry.
21
I started by getting a coffee, a non-negotiable.
22
Honestly my favorite part of my day is this and then I hopped on the call.
23
This ended up being about an hour long.
24
Also I know my headphones are very tangled but it's pretty productive.
25
I don't know what else to say about an accountant.
26
I don't really know much about that field but they are very helpful.
27
Hey guys so update.
28
I am on my way to go vote.
29
It's about 5-10 minutes from my apartment.
30
I know that the election is over by the time you're watching this, but make sure to get out there and vote in the elections.
31
It's actually not that late.
32
I know it looks like it, but it's really only 5 30 p.m.
33
Daylight savings.
34
Who is it even saving?
35
Okay, that joke is overset.
36
But anyways, I'm going out to vote.
37
I promise this vlog will not be fully iPhone.
38
Quality is really going down on this channel minute by minute.
39
I'm back home now.
40
I ended up running to the bodega really last minute
41
and I got a few things and I thought a bodega haul would be fun.
42
It's gonna be quick.
43
There's not that much stuff.
44
I love going to the bodega and I do romanticize it I think because I'm not from here.
45
So first thing I got was a travel toothbrush kit because I'm going on a trip soon.
46
I'm really excited and I'll tell you guys more about that later in the week.
47
I also got cookies.
48
Going grocery shopping when you're hungry is like never good
49
and i did already eat them i ate three
50
and i did eat the next item as well okay i
51
got home immediately started eating i got these crackers these are like my favorite crackers you guys know
52
if you watched my recent blog they're
53
so good i actually don't really get this flavor
54
that often they're simple mills almond flour crackers i could eat
55
five boxes of these at once i got some milk i drink regular milk now
56
which has been a thing for me for a little bit
57
the last thing i got were some eggs i hope i didn't break these We're good.
58
So I got some eggs for breakfast in the morning.
59
I got these flowers These are kind of different, but I thought
60
that they were fun for the occasion in a few minutes I'm leaving to go to my friend nia's book premiere dinner.
61
It's more like a celebratory dinner She released a book.
62
I'm just so proud of her.
63
You guys should definitely check it out If you're watching this nia, I love you.
64
I'm so excited for you.
65
This is so huge
66
Hey guys!
67
Hi!
68
I'm with Mia!
69
Everyone, go grab her new book.
70
Tell them what to do.
71
Go get Bottom of the Pyramid out right now.
72
Now!
73
yay love you i'm so proud of you thank you
74
good morning i'm scared to look at myself right now i just woke up
75
and wow i have no thoughts yet i'm still like rebooting
76
i have a few things today i have a doctor's appointment i have a couple meetings
77
and then i might see my friends for coffee i'm gonna try
78
but first thing is this morning i'm so excited
79
because i'm having cleaners come they're coming from homoglow which is a cleaning service
80
sorry guys as i was filming the cleaner got here she's in the kitchen right now working on our cabinets
81
and doing kind of like a deep clean.
82
This is what our kitchen looks like before and I'll show you guys also what it looks like after.
83
I'm just so excited for fall and one of the things
84
that my roommate and I talked about was how we wanted to have a deep fall clean.
85
Seasonally that is when I usually try to like deep clean myself.
86
It's just such a good time to have a reset at like the start of every season
87
and I've just been getting in the fall spirit.
88
I even got these orange flowers for myself.
89
It is nice because it takes one of the big things off of my to-do list
90
and leaves me time to just do more fun things like with my friends, my roommate.
91
I'm gonna go get coffee in a few minutes because my friends
92
and I want to get like a fall coffee and I'm so excited to be working with Home Aglow on this video.
93
If you haven't heard of Home Aglow, it's a top-rated home service dedicated to keeping your home and space clean.
94
It is really convenient because you just go online
95
and book the cleaner on Home Aglow and they'll find the person in your area.
96
I also like how it's a great way to support cleaners
97
because 100% of the tips and cleaning service fees go directly to the cleaner.
98
To schedule cleaning, it is really easy.
99
You just go to Home Will Go's website and choose the day
100
or time that you're looking for and the duration of your cleaning and you'll see all the available cleaners.
101
And you can schedule as quickly as like this week or get something on the calendar for next month.
102
So just get it off your to-do list.
103
You can also browse photos and reviews of the background checked cleaners before choosing the right cleaner for you.
104
So if you want to check them out, make sure to click the link in the description.
105
They also have a Forever Clean membership by the way
106
that I wanted to mention it actually saves you $30 an hour
107
on all future cleanings you can even put cleanings at starting at $19 an hour
108
which is really crazy after the first month like the membership just pays for itself so
109
if you want to take home cleaning off of your to-do
110
list this fall you can use my link to go to
111
homego.com slash sydney serena I'll also try to put it on the screen
112
and you can actually get your first three hours of cleaning for only $19
113
but I'm gonna head out
114
and grab coffee with my friends I hope I can get like a pumpkin latte because i want to be festive
115
i feel like i failed you guys i went into the coffee shop
116
and i barely vlogged okay i'm very sorry it's kind of my pet peeve
117
when people or vloggers like say they're gonna do something
118
and then they don't show it and then i just did
119
that and i feel guilty but i'll fill you in it wasn't a super long thing, but my friends and I got pumpkin lattes, or I got a pumpkin latte.
120
It was really good.
121
Honestly, if I had traded, I'd say a 9 out of 10, and I do feel like I'm really getting in the false spirit next to this tree.
122
Oh, wow, look at that car.
123
Anyways, I had a meeting scheduled for 11, which was 10 minutes ago, and it just got canceled.
124
It was supposed to be with my jewelry manufacturer, so I have a doctor's appointment in two hours, but since that got canceled, I thought In the meantime,
125
I would run to Aritzia and, I don't know, a couple clothing stores.
126
I need some new clothes for a trip that I'm going on next week.
127
And then I'm going to head back because I want to check in on the cleaner, see how things are going.
128
It's kind of nice because I can still, like, message her even though I'm not home.
129
And things seem to be going really well.
130
Anyways, I'm going to have, like, a nice little hour.
131
I'm just going to go.
132
I'm just going to go shop.
133
A beautiful day in Soho.
134
Sometimes this place is very overstimulating for me and I tend to avoid it.
135
I ended up stopping in Skims and Aritzia.
136
Like I said, I was prepping for a trip that was coming up so I felt like I had a good excuse.
137
Grabbed some food and then after that I had a doctor's appointment also to prep for my trip.
138
I got a couple shots and I didn't faint this time.
139
Sometimes that happens.
140
Success, I guess.
141
Okay guys, so I just got my shots.
142
I was walking home and I don't know, am I just like that easily influenced
143
because I saw this sign for a head massage
144
and I actually don't have anything going on the rest of the night and I really want to go do it.
145
Like I've always wanted to do this.
146
I've seen it on TikTok.
147
I guess I'm being spontaneous.
148
Should I be doing this?
149
Probably not.
150
I should be going home doing productive things but I really want to do it and I'm usually not that spontaneous.
151
So let's see if they have an appointment available
152
or like an opening and then I can show you guys how it is.
153
See, that's my excuse is that I'm doing this to give you guys a review when in reality, it's just a reason for me to go do it.
154
Looking back, what was this day?
155
Like this was the most perfect day I've had.
156
Going shopping and trying out the famous head massage.
157
I am a bit like let down.
158
It was really nice, but I sort of would just like prefer a regular massage over this.
159
I feel like the people that posted on TikTok make it look so much cooler.
160
That's my opinion.
161
The apartment is looking so nice she did such an amazing job look how nice
162
and clean it is She wiped everything down did the floors, which is like my least favorite thing to do It looks so nice.
163
I just wanted to show you guys the after.
164
Thank you home aglow for the beautiful apartment Good morning.
165
It's so sunny.
166
Can you see the sun coming through?
167
oh there's nothing i love more than the sun good morning
168
guys it's 9 a.m i slept in a little extra
169
because i ended up staying up pretty late last night looking at flights for thanksgiving
170
and like christmas
171
and going back to minnesota today i am going to try
172
to get a lot of stuff done i have a couple campaigns
173
and just videos that i want to film at my apartment
174
and then i also have a lot to do for ophelia
175
but most of the stuff that i do for
176
that is like on my laptop since i'm working on hiring a new social media girl
177
and then the next collection like a lot of that's just like on my laptop
178
so i think i'm gonna go get coffee and get some work done
179
and then later i'll come back
180
and do some filming here i'm also going to make dinner tonight
181
and hang out with my roommate we might go golfing
182
so yeah i'm excited first thing let's get this bed made
183
oh i also listen to podcasts most mornings specifically this guy
184
the mindset mentor i'm like such a loyal fan to this
185
guy his name's rob dial it's just become a part of my routine to listen to him
186
and he's very like positive and uplifting
187
which really like rubs off on me especially at like the
188
start of my day whatever i consume really sets the tone
189
so i try to be very intentional like not scroll on tiktok
190
and instead listen to someone like him he's just kind of like a life coach almost
191
and talks about like working towards your goals strategies ways to be more productive happiness everything
192
so that's who i listen to in case you're wondering easy to my king is available to every single person it's
193
breakfast time and my current rotation are scrambled eggs specifically with onion
194
which i almost burned as you can see my hack is
195
i like to get pre-chopped up onions at the grocery store it saves me
196
so much time and it makes for a pretty good breakfast.
197
We'll see how long this one lasts.
198
And then I went to go work at my same coffee shop that I've been also going to every day.
199
I was working on stuff for Ophelia while simultaneously being on hold for about an hour.
200
I'm working at the coffee shop.
201
I have my headphones in and I'm kind of having trouble speaking right now because I have music blasting in my ears.
202
It's like elevator music because I'm on hold with UPS
203
and i've been on hold with them for 25 minutes
204
so all i'm hearing is elevator music boss nova style going through me right now
205
and i can't give up my spot on hold you know
206
it's like i'm committed after 20 minutes like i'm never hanging up like never ever hanging up again
207
but as i'm on hold i am just doing some emails i think i said this earlier
208
but i just hired someone new for ophelia i have someone
209
help me with the social media accounts it's really fun like the marketing
210
and like photography behind it all is something i like really enjoy
211
but i definitely like need help with it i have a new great girl
212
so i'm really excited i'm setting up a meeting with her for tomorrow morning and
213
so i'm kind of just like prepping the like onboarding i
214
guess you would say even though it is like a very small company it's like just me
215
and the manufacturers it is fun to like work with people
216
and it kind of makes it like less lonely like i love like collaborating with like very creative people
217
and then i'm also submitting one of the videos to a brand that i that I have going live tomorrow.
218
Everyone here in this area works in finance and I do feel a little out of place.
219
Everyone's in like suits and has a headset on
220
and I'm just like editing my little youtube video update
221
because i forgot to film for like an hour i got
222
home i ate lunch i actually just had like a microwavable meal
223
because i was lazy i did a few more emails
224
that i had a call that i wanted to do here
225
and like not at the coffee shop it's now 2 30 in the afternoon my roommate
226
and i like to plan cooking nights we switch off who gets the groceries
227
and then we usually try to cook together because it's more fun and it's
228
so much easier making a meal for two people rather than
229
one buying all the ingredients just for one person like never makes sense
230
so it's kind of like perfect and we have a lot of fun doing it
231
so tonight is my night to go get the groceries
232
so i'm gonna go grab the stuff for dinner it's the
233
sweet potato chicken bowls i think i put this in a vlog recently
234
and i also just need a couple groceries in general
235
because i've been eating out kind of a lot
236
and i would rather not and try not to eat out
237
so much So I'm gonna go pick up just a few groceries and I'm gonna take you guys with me.
238
I've changed my mind.
239
I like grocery shopping when it is not Sunday.
240
I feel that I can barely even move in the grocery store on Sundays
241
so I try to avoid it at all costs.
242
I found some great things.
243
I actually found too many things to the point where I had to taxi home.
244
Sometimes I'll walk.
245
Today that just wasn't the case.
246
I had too much to carry.
247
I'm back from the grocery store and looking in the viewfinder, I'm realizing how much I need to self-tan.
248
Dave, my editor, please make me look more tan I got quite a few things
249
And I usually try not to Uber home I try to walk home
250
But I got so much stuff
251
that I kind of had to take a car I picked up some fun groceries
252
So I wanted to do like the quickest grocery haul ever
253
I'm not going to show everything Some of it's like kind of boring We're making dinner tonight, like I said So you'll see the stuff
254
that I got for dinner later
255
But I got some mini peppers for a snack I also
256
got some cold brew coffee I got a ton of poppies
257
These are my favorite flavor The lemon lime i've usually like ordered them on amazon, but I ran out.
258
I wanted to try this I have no idea what this is gonna be like at night.
259
I need to eat something sweet every night Unfortunately, and this looked good.
260
I've never seen this before It's supposed to be like a slightly healthier ice cream dark chocolate ice cream
261
and honeycomb pieces I don't know.
262
It looked good to me.
263
So we'll see got some plain greek yogurt some granola Tzatziki for dinner tonight Oh, I got these mini cookies and I honestly shouldn't have gotten these
264
because the last time I ate them I had way too many
265
and I got the worst stomach ache after So I just didn't have self-control, but these are really good I got some of these mini kettle corn bags I like how they're pre-portioned
266
because I would eat the whole giant bag in one sitting My favorite crackers.
267
You guys have seen these a million times by now some sourdough tons of avocado I also got these smart sweets.
268
I really like these Everything is like dessert that i'm showing you.
269
I also got some blueberries Yeah, that's the gist of what I got besides some of the groceries for dinner.
270
So I'm gonna put these in my fridge and then I think we're gonna leave to go golfing soon.
271
Did I ever think I would be a golfer?
272
No. Never once did this cross my mind, but my friend Olivia and I have been really loving to go.
273
And it's also so much more fun to go with a friend.
274
So we've been taking lessons together.
275
Golf was cold.
276
It was fun, but it was really freezing.
277
am i getting better no well i feel like we're slowly
278
getting there anyways we're back home now we are making dinner
279
olivia's chopping it up hey guys hey guys we're like so hungry
280
that we can't we can't even function we're like trying to
281
make this as quickly as possible we're freaking out like we
282
have no time to kill she's like top chef right now
283
we're like on the top i'm like I'm having a freak out right now.
284
You're so fast with it.
285
Okay, I'm lacking.
286
I need to get to work.
287
Guys, this is our favorite meal ever.
288
I'll put the recipe in the description box if anyone wants to make it.
289
It's so good.
290
And I feel fake because actually Olivia showed me this recipe and we eat it at least once a week.
291
And the trick are the white sweet potatoes.
292
It is.
293
Right?
294
Because I've gotten them regular and they're just not as good.
295
Cheers.
296
Cheers.
297
All right.
298
Cheers.
299
Good morning, guys.
300
I'm currently marinating.
301
I woke up, immediately put self-tanner on my body.
302
Why did I say that weirdly?
303
If you self-tan, you know it's a process.
304
Like last night, I got in the shower.
305
I did the whole exfoliating thing right before bed.
306
Then you do the moisturizer.
307
And now I'm waking up and I'm at business.
308
So I'm currently sitting in self-tanner.
309
I have to wait a couple hours, which is why my outfit is pretty casual.
310
But this morning, I decided I was going to wash my sheets.
311
Plan is I am gonna go down, drop off my laundry because that's on the second floor of my apartment, get the laundry started, and then oh I have a meeting in exactly 30 minutes
312
that I have not prepped for at all.
313
So I really need to hurry because I'm gonna be doing that at the coffee shop and I still need to prep.
314
It's for the new social media girl at Ophelia.
315
I hired her a couple days ago.
316
She's so great.
317
So that's the morning.
318
I'm gonna quickly get that done.
319
This is my breakfast by the way
320
berries with yogurt it's
321
my new fixation i'm back
322
at the same coffee shop i'm very predictable
323
but you know i found my coffee shop that i like
324
and i get a lot done here they also have like massive booths like massive tables and they're very comfortable seats.
325
So I like it.
326
And I got a free coffee today, guys, because my punch card was filled up.
327
And they gave me a 24 ounce that I already drank.
328
That's very concerning.
329
It's like the size of my head.
330
I know it's dark outside.
331
I know you guys are confused.
332
What did you do all day?
333
Like what happened?
334
Actually, basically nothing happened because I was just sitting on my laptop working for the majority of the day.
335
And then I went and I got a croissant with olivia my roommate
336
and that's about it I'm trying to revive myself because olivia and I are gonna go out tonight.
337
We're going to get dinner It's actually like nothing crazy.
338
It's like her friend's event or something So I need to dress up for
339
that But first before I get dressed for
340
that i'm going to do the dreaded task of putting my fitted sheet on
341
And then I have all my other laundry in here that I also did today.
342
For some reason, I just did it all at once.
343
Okay, guys, this is my outfit for dinner.
344
Top is from Quince.
345
This little tank is from Skims.
346
I forget what about these pants.
347
I think I thrifted them a long time ago.
348
Dolce Vita boots, the one I wear all the time.
349
And that is the fit.
350
I touched up like my hair and makeup and stuff.
351
So we're gonna head out.
352
It's actually not dinner, we realized.
353
I think it's just like drinks thing. So...
354
I was wrong.
355
A little mishap, but that's okay.
356
And we're gonna go.
357
Bye.
358
So it actually was a dinner.
359
We were wrong.
360
Thankfully it was because I did not eat prior and it was so good.
361
The event was decorated so nicely and we had such a nice night.
362
And then I woke up the next morning, Friday, looking real rough. Be warned.
363
Good morning.
364
Okay.
365
Wow.
366
Oh my gosh.
367
Scary.
368
I'm scared.
369
I kind of need to clean up my room because I never finished my laundry.
370
All right, guys, my room is looking 10 times better.
371
That was very necessary.
372
But now I have my eye patches on because I'm recovering.
373
I'm recovering from last night, okay?
374
I'm a little down in the dumps.
375
These, I think, will do the trick.
376
Today, what I need to do is pack.
377
That's why I have those clothes over there for my trip.
378
You guys will see where I'm going.
379
I don't want to say where I'm going just yet.
380
Just stay tuned, you know, I'm gonna be packing for that though
381
And then at the same time i'm packing for you guys
382
because there's a couple ophelia orders that I need to pack up and ship out That you guys ordered this week.
383
I'm really excited for our next collection That is so exciting.
384
We haven't had a new collection in like seven months
385
because we did like this whole transition with the manufacturers and everything I think it's gonna be really worth it.
386
So anyways, i'm gonna pack these orders really quick ship them off
387
and then We'll see maybe grab some coffee and get packing.
388
This is just like a cute cozy day at home Wait,
389
by the way guys, I just took those eye patches off and they actually work.

このレッスンについて
「a week in my life vlog」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
