Hello and welcome back.

I'm finishing getting ready for the day right now

which is why my makeup is half done but welcome back to a new vlog.

I actually have not vlogged in a very long time.

I've been kind of a inconsistent with posting

and b just working on videos that I have filmed from earlier in the summer

or like from last month essentially but it is actually september 1st

so happy september i'm really excited september is my favorite month

of the year besides october those two months are my favorite

and so i literally woke up so excited this morning

that it's september i hope everyone had a great summer

and a great august with

that being said obviously we are now back to school i

did have my first week back to fashion school last week which is really really nice.

I felt so good just being back on campus and having like a structured schedule.

I actually kind of love school.

My attention span is not the best,

but I do enjoy especially what I'm learning,

which if you're new here,

I'm at Fashion Institute of Technology,

which is a fashion school in New York,

and I'm studying advertising and marketing communications there,

which is really, really cool.

It's a lot of like digital marketing,

and a lot of people tend to go into PR with this major

so it's really cool i really enjoy it

and now i'm in my bachelor's as opposed to last year

when i was completing my associates actually i have two associates you guys yeah

so it's really cool

and now it's like getting a little bit more not advanced um detailed i guess you would say

so it's really interesting i'm excited i like my classes

so far it was just a good week

but i wanted to like make sure i settled in properly

before taking you guys along i also did end up like switching out some classes

so whatever i had last week is not exactly the same as going forward Anyways,

so it's actually labor day today meaning there is no school

But i'm going to take you guys through a school week in my life Also,

I don't know

if you can peep in the in the mirror reflection a little new addition to the apartment

That is a little hint to the video that i'm currently filming

because it's one of the many additions i'm making to my apartment

So stay tuned I'm not just gonna ignore it

that there's like new things happening in the apartment Kind of rambling

but I did want to catch up with you guys

because I genuinely feel like I haven't sat down to like talk

and film It felt like all of august I wasn't vlogging I don't know why

but nonetheless we are here and I'm excited for this new start of the year.

I've heard so many people say this and I totally agree sometimes September 1st

or like the start of a new semester

if you're a student feels more like a fresh start than New Year's Eve does.

I totally agree.

I personally think like every time September rolls around

or like end of August I'm like it's a new year new me like that sensation and I love it.

It's just exciting there's like something different in the air.

So I hope you guys enjoy this week's vlog and my first back to school vlog if you will.

Let's have a great week,

a great September and get into our plans.

Okay, good morning you guys.

It is...

I need to leave.

It's time 51.

Let's go to school.

I need to put on my lippy,

my lip combo, but I do want to show you guys my outfit before I leave.

I've been loving just doing simple outfits and then dressing it up with accessories.

It's like the easiest formula,

so I don't have to overthink my outfit for school.

So today we have just a simple classic white tank.

This is from Koss.

I'm obsessed with it It's like the thickest nicest ribbed material

probably my favorite white tank I've ever bought I really recommend it and then my gorgeous jewelry from pilgrim jewelry.

They kindly sent me these pieces I'm literally obsessed look at the earrings you guys so cute.

Sorry i'm talking like really fast because i'm a little late These jeans are from ragged this belt.

I could not tell you and then these are my little jeffrey campbell boots that go all the way up cute stuff.

Okay, I feel really good.

I have two classes today.

A lunch break in between,

which I'm gonna spend doing some work, editing, all that stuff.

I need a bandaid.

You guys, I wanna show you.

Well, actually of disgusting.

I don't really want to show you.

My finger has gotten really dry.

I think, like, one of my rings started to,

like, be too tight on it.

So now it's, like, super dry,

and I have to constantly put neosporin on it.

And on top of that,

that same finger, I just broke my nail there.

So the whole pointer finger looks so disgusting.

Anyways, this is chaotic.

Let's go.

I'm so excited.

Okay, obviously back home, I'm just stopping by to change into my workout outfit.

I'm headed to a new workout class that I've never tried before.

It's in Tribeca, I believe.

I forget the name of the place,

but I don't think it's like traditional Pilates.

It's not.

100

I don't think so.

101

I literally don't know what I'm getting myself into,

102

but I just wanted to sign up and take myself to a little workout class,

103

like a Pilates fusion or something.

104

We're going to see.

105

I hope it's nice because I've been sitting on my butt all day and I need some like,

106

energy um

107

so we're going now school today flew by though i was like how is the day already over

108

and like even during my lunch break i was like it's

109

already time for my second class like i don't know i just went by fast

110

which i'm not really complaining about it was a good day nonetheless

111

and yeah now i'm excited to just go move my

112

body a little bit to be honest 5 25 Oh my god,

113

I don't want to

114

touch anything think

115

i didn't film in

116

there at all because i don't know i just never feel really

117

that comfortable filming in workout classes amazing i literally was like

118

okay i'm at pilates class like how hard can it be i'm gonna be

119

so sore tomorrow but in the best way possible i'm really glad i did it and It was actually so relaxing too.

120

And it was like different like functional movements that also really stretched the body.

121

And like released a lot of tension that we hold in like our hips.

122

And I'm literally with like two pound weights.

123

And I was like shaking and so out of breath.

124

Good morning you guys.

125

It is Wednesday.

126

I only have one class today.

127

Which is nice and it's like a shorter class.

128

Because I have it twice a week.

129

Classes at FIT by the way are three hours long minimum

130

usually yeah this class is like it meets twice a week as opposed to just once a week

131

so it's like a shorter class today which is nice

132

but i still dread it i really don't like this class

133

it's like some computing financial mathematics everything i don't like essentially

134

it's just like boring to me whatever anyway let's figure out

135

my outfit i don't know what to wear today i never know what to wear nowadays because

136

when you're in school some classes are like super hot some

137

classes are like really cold it'll say it's like nice out

138

and then it'll end up being like really windy and freezing

139

and then other times it's like oh it's cold

140

but then the sun comes out of nowhere

141

and you're like sweating your ass off yeah that's the dilemma i've been having the last week

142

and a half

143

so i don't really know what to wear let's see what

144

i can whip up i am getting ready to go to campus

145

and just like hang out there until my class later

146

and then i'm just gonna work at a cafe until then

147

okay i think i wanna wear these black jeans from motel

148

rocks i've been loving these lately they just have such a nice like silhouette

149

and i don't know they're really good jeans really good jeans

150

and then i could do this top from my mom made it she's cute let's see what i settle on

151

if i like this combination together i'll come back to you guys with my final outfit decision

152

not wear a single thing that i just pulled out

153

and showed you guys my whole outfit is thrifted today actually

154

shout out depop love you i'm very pinkalicious today i love

160

Okay, I just finished my one and only classes today and I was gonna head home.

161

I have a lot of chores to do today,

162

so I was gonna avoid stopping them then because nobody wants to see me do laundry.

163

But I'm actually walking over to H&M because it's close to campus

164

and I'm just gonna go see what they have to decorate my home.

165

Happy Friday, everyone.

166

I obviously did not vlog yesterday.

167

It was kind of like not a mundane day But I was like it's gonna be repetitive if I vlog again.

168

I don't know anyways I had two classes yesterday one of which is a video studio production class.

169

That is my longest class yet It is four hours.

170

It's like in the later part of the day So I'm kind of like I was literally falling asleep,

171

but it's really cool We get to like be in this studio

172

and yesterday we were playing around as both on the crew side of things

173

and the technical part And then also me

174

and my friend were in front of the camera for a little bit pretending to be like a host

175

and a guest on a talk show.

176

And we're live.

177

It's such a fun class.

178

It's really like hands-on and really cool.

179

But today on Friday, I don't have any classes,

180

which is really, really nice.

181

I'm going to use today's to be a little bit productive.

182

I have to go ship out a Depop order.

183

I bought my boots.

184

Thank you for buying my boots because I've been trying to get rid of these Doc Martens forever.

185

And I recently went to HomeGoods and I bought these cute boxes.

186

Like how adorable is this?

187

And then it came in another one literally adorable

188

and i've been wanting to gift my mom

189

and my sister A lot of the products that i've received in pr

190

and don't personally use or that has just been like piling up and my sister recently Moved into college.

191

So like the house is completely empty now

192

So it's been an adjustment for both my mom and my sister

193

And I thought it'd be sweet to just kind of ship

194

out these surprise gift boxes I also bought these like little cards from home goods

195

that says you can do this So I'm going to write a little note

196

and just give them some like products that I think they would really love.

197

They have no idea I'm doing this,

198

so I'm really excited for them to receive it.

199

So let's see what we can whip up.

200

Okay, so this is like the big,

201

it's so heavy, the box that I keep most of my PR products in.

202

Oh my god.

203

Starting off, I gave my sister most of the Sol de Janeiro perfumes.

204

She loves these, but last time she came,

205

she couldn't bring this home because it was over to like limit her flights.

206

I received this like acne skincare line,

207

which I used quite a bit of,

208

but she loved the products that I didn't end up using.

209

So i'm gonna give her this pore shrinker toner.

210

She literally asked for it last time that she was here

211

and like visited And I was like kind of want it

212

and then I didn't use it also gonna give her some Highlighters from ofra cosmetics.

213

She had been asking me like oh,

214

what are some good highlighters?

215

So this will be perfect for her this one as well

216

that has some bronzing shades She loves anything glowy in terms of like skincare makeup

217

So i'm gonna give her this cosas glow iv vitamin infused skin enhancer.

218

Also these wildflower stickers I think she's really gonna love.

219

224

This Kosas Dream Beam comfy, smooth sunscreen.

225

226

Really nice.

227

And then I'm trying to debate which clock lips you'd give to my sister.

228

My mom doesn't use clock lips, so there's no point.

229

I think I'm still gonna give her this one.

230

I feel like she would love it.

231

And she has so much hair,

232

she's really gonna appreciate the bigger clock lips.

233

234

235

And then also for my sister,

236

I'm going to give her these like cute heart earrings from Telecom Glory.

237

Let's package up these little cute boxes and then write the notes and ship them out.

238

I have my return from Amazon and my K-pop order in here.

239

248

like lose my mind a little bit i need some fresh

249

air i also have a lot of work to do i have some homework and also some like work videos to edit,

251

Yeah, I also just wanna like lay it out my week.

252

I got a new planner.

253

I never had a planner.

254

I don't think I have,

255

at least maybe when I was like really little.

256

I've never had a proper planner,

257

so I got this one and the sheer elegance of it makes me so excited to actually use it.

258

Like it is ridiculously beautiful.

259

The layout too is really nice.

260

You can do a monthly reflection and then for the month that's coming up,

261

a little roadmap like personal goals and habit trackers.

262

It's just been a game changer

263

and like it's helping me be more organized with school

264

and even like little things that I have going on during the week just

265

so I don't forget because my brain is always like scrambled

266

and I've tried using like digital planners and things like

267

that I just never stick to it I end up just like typing in my notes app

268

so this has been amazing I'm gonna go ahead

269

and plan the week out

270

and have it all clearly laid out I think we're gonna

271

go to my OG cafe I used to go there all

272

the time during first semester it's on the Upper East Side

273

and I'm never in the uppers like during the school year especially during the school week

274

because like my school isn't in chelsea

275

277

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
