Good morning guys and welcome back.

First things first, let me dress the elephant in the room.

Yes.

I did cut my hair and I know nobody nobody actually noticed that.

I've missed you guys.

I've missed just doing chill living alone vlogs like we love to do on here.

What can I say?

I got sucked back in to my toxic relationship with Omegle recently

and that has been the reason why I've been slacking on the vlog content.

So for that, I'm sorry.

I saw this matcha on TikTok and it has strawberry in it or something.

Ever since I saw that, all I could think about was going to buy that.

So I think I'm going to do that in a few minutes.

But to be honest, for this living alone video, I don't really have exact plan.

Usually I kind of know like what I'm doing for the day.

My dad and brother are actually flying into town right now and they're going to come visit me, which I'm so, so excited about.

so i got the strawberry matcha it's so good it's exactly what i expected in like the best way the

very pureed and they have maple syrup in here so it's like lightly sweet.

I never thought I'd be drinking matcha like this like honestly at all.

First it was coffee now it's matcha.

New York has really changed me.

There was no way I could walk past the street and not vlog it. If you know you

sephora really quick there's a couple things i've been needing specifically makeup remover i've been really liking cleansing balms

so i might get one of those i'm sweating it's 97 degrees i think

which means i need to shower immediately when i get home

because that's when my back acne gets really bad

when i sweat i have to shower like right away

because then i break out i've had pretty bad back acne for a

while and that's like the biggest thing because i just like need to

okay so i don't actually need any new mascara

but i just wanted to show you guys i'm at the

two -faced booth section i've been loving like chocolate brown mascara this is their better than sex brown mascara and it's

so good i'm actually wearing it today i'm also just counting

down the minutes until i get kicked out for filming okay i need to remember the reason i'm

balm i love the pharmacy one it's this green clean cleansing

balm i sometimes wear waterproof mascara every once in a while

that will take it off it's like

so hard to get waterproof mascara off you would know

if you've worn it it's like so pretty when it's on

but it sucks to take it off what else what else

i can't believe i haven't gotten yelled at yet i might

want to try another one of the say glowy super gels

because i love them imagine i just walked that went to sephora vlogged it and didn't show what they got,

I would be actually really mad.

I just love a good little Sephora haul.

I didn't get too much stuff.

First thing I got is a restock of one of my favorite highlighters.

This is the Say Glowy Super Gel.

I ended up getting it in the travel size and it's really nice because it just makes my skin look extra glowy.

Me and my mom love this so much.

As you guys saw, I was talking about a cleansing balm

and I ended up getting the Pharmacy Makeup Melt -Away Cleansing Balm.

And then the last thing that I got is probably what I'm most excited the Dio eye patches.

If you guys watched my video a few months ago, I recreated Hailey Bieber's makeup routine.

And in her makeup routine, she used these eye masks

but at the time i couldn't buy them they were out of stock

and i've just really been wanting to try these because they're reusable

which i think is so cool you're supposed to just take the eye cream

that you use every day put it under your eyes

and then put these on top i wonder

if i can put this in the fridge or not

that might be like nice and cooling in the mornings but yeah that's everything that i got

um oh oopsies i have some stuff to work on actually

one of the main things i need to work on is

my apartment situation i'm kind of still trying to decide where i'm going to move after this

because my lease is up in 30 days which is kind of stressful

so i've been going through the process and thinking about

if i want to buy a condo

or co -op i've always been really interested in real estate investing i don't really talk about it

because i feel like it might be a little bit boring to some people.

I'm just kind of trying to decide

if i want to invest in a property here

or not i'm kind of leaning towards no

but regardless i do have to move anyways

so i've been like looking at apartments

and then i also have a ton of emails to do

so i'm going to just work for a little bit also do you guys recognize my necklace

if you follow me on tiktok or instagram i did a whole mystery jewelry bang unboxing and i got this

so i don't know if you guys remember in my vlog a couple weeks ago i went

and i painted a vase at this pottery store i finally got it back it went through the kiln

and i'm going to show you guys - Thank you.

Don't get your hopes up.

I did like little flowers on it The one thing I kind of messed up is like the base paint, but if you turn it like this way, it looks good I rate it like a 7 out of 10

So i'm gonna go to the store and grab some fresh flowers for this Especially because my dad and brother are coming.

I think it'd be nice to just have this setting out

the older I get the more I really appreciate flowers I used to really not care about them

because I was like they're gonna die anyways.

What's the point?

But then I realized it's not about that to cheer yourself up

and like make your day really nice anyways let's go get some flowers guys the guy was

so nice at the flower shop i ended up checking out

and the guy was like oh these ones don't look very

fresh i'm gonna get you a new set

he got me a fresh

very fresh bouquet

it's all right i

like it it's not my favorite arrangement ever i think the reason i like getting flowers for myself

so much is because it just goes to show

that you don't need to ask or wait for anybody else to get you them.

100

Obviously, I always talk about this, but you have to take care of yourself as if you would someone you're in a relationship with.

101

And that's like, what's probably helped me with my confidence the most.

102

Doing things for myself that I would do for a boyfriend or a best friend.

103

It's not a waste of money to buy flowers.

104

I used to think that, it's not my dad and brother are coming in about an hour i'm

105

so excited for them to come i've been texting them i think we're gonna go to dinner tonight

106

but before they get here i'm gonna go through my makeup Again, I know it feels like I just did this recently.

107

Of everything in my apartment, my makeup, skincare area gets the messiest the quickest i think a lot of it might be due to the fact

108

that i buy so much stuff and i get pr

109

which is so fun but i do need to go through it pretty often

110

and i always feel so much better after doing it

111

so i'm going to show you guys this is what it

112

looks like right now i need to go through toss some stuff that's probably expired

113

and just like declutter this area it's to the point where i don't even like

114

want to do my makeup anymore because i'm just so overstimulated let's get to organizing you

115

okay my dad and my brother are here

116

so you guys know i've been doing little advice segments in my vlogs

117

because i get a lot of questions from you guys and i just thought it'd be a fun way to

118

Usually I do this alone, but I thought it'd be fun to have my brother and dad join, mostly because they're here.

119

And because I want their opinion.

120

Thank you. That too.

121

Nice to be valued.

122

I'm sorry.

123

It's so sad.

124

I go through my DMs on Instagram, so if you guys have any advice, DM me.

125

I wanted advice on how you deal with making new friends in college and trying your best to not feel lonely.

126

It's been really tough for me, so I just want some insight on how to not feel lonely all the time.

127

The answer is - Oh, you're gonna go first?

128

Sure.

129

Okay.

130

Unless you want to go.

131

You got to really work on keeping an open mind on everything.

132

So I would say from friends, you're going to want to try to meet more new friends than you ever did before.

133

And you're going to want to try more new things than you ever did before.

134

Ashton will have his opinions since he was in college too.

135

Wait, can I read that again?

136

I forget what the question was.

137

Oh my gosh.

138

I agree.

139

I think you kind of have to put yourself out there.

140

Like, my first two months of college were completely different than

141

the rest of my college experience

142

because i put myself out there a lot especially as a transfer i was a transfer

143

so i think i extra had to put myself out there like

144

that i think just joining clubs

145

that you like will automatically bring people who are like -minded to you

146

because you guys like the same things

147

and just like striking up conversation i feel like people are

148

friendlier than you would think like most of the time people are pretty receptive

149

and you're all starting out

150

that way i mean everyone's all coming from the same place you're all starting out as a freshman

151

And I didn't go out as much

152

and I didn't meet people on my floor and I isolated myself

153

and I felt more lonely as the freshman year went on I sort of like grow out of

154

that and I sort of like started to meet new people.

155

I might add to

156

that about the staying in the dorm You don't want to stay in the dorm too much

157

and you probably really don't want to stay on your cell

158

phone all the statistics show the more you're on your phone the The more depressed you could get.

159

Yeah, so definitely when you're first woman try to meet people that are right across from you.

160

Thanks guys Oh, it wasn't recording the whole time.

161

No. Please tell me you're kidding.

162

No, the red button was on.

163

I'm kidding.

164

I'm kidding.

165

Yeah!

166

I need to go to bed immediately.

167

I'm actually so excited though to get unready

168

because my skincare game elevates itself every time that I go through and organize it.

169

It makes me want to actually do my full work skincare regimen.

170

I'm also breaking open my new cleansing balm, so it's just a good skincare night.

171

Oh, I also forgot to say, my dad and my brother are back at their hotel now.

172

No choice but to put this song on.

173

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

174

Surprise!

175

I remembered to do an outro.

176

I am all cozy.

177

By the way, I loved that eye mask that I got.

178

I tried it out for the first time tonight and it was so, it was so nice and I just feel cooler using it.

179

Anyways, I'm so tired.

180

I'm gonna go to bed, but I love you guys.

181

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
