Shadowing Practice: FALL NIGHT ROUTINE | cozy & aesthetic after-school unwind ⋆˙⟡ - Learn English Speaking with Video

I feel like this is a very typical outfit for me especially for this time of year.

I feel like I'm always dressing really girly but comfortable and I try to channel my Elena Gilbert style.

So this long sleeve top with the lace underneath is perfect

and my denim skirt is one of my most worn clothing pieces this time of year.

I also just got this bag, which is so cute.

I love it because it's pink.

It has polka dots and it's big enough to hold everything.

I also just got my nails done and I feel like they match this entire vibe.

So I love this entire look.

Look at Cleo right here.

This is the cutest thing ever.

So in today's video, I wanted to show you my fall night routine, but to take it a step further, I wanted to specifically show you my afterschool fall night routine and unwind.

Cause honestly, I feel like school adds

so much to the aesthetic of this season

and I know a lot of my subscribers are students

so I'm so excited to show you guys everything that I do so let's get started.

I couldn't resist getting a pumpkin spice latte in this video.

Honestly these are the best at night.

They're so delish. So cheers.

So yum like I could chug this I get mine with oat milk

and pumpkin cold foam and it is so delish So anyway, I honestly need this energy for tonight.

I had such a long day There was a lot of like random unexpected things

that happened today that just made the day feel so much longer

So I've been looking forward to this all day long

And i'm gonna do some studying and get some work done Honestly evening

and late night studying is my favorite thing ever especially at

a cafe I wish there were more local cafes near

me open at nighttime I also got the cutest fall scent

to put in my car I love this little case that hooks onto my air vent.

The colors and the design of this remind me so much of the 2000s I don't know what it is, but it feels

so nostalgic As soon

as I get home the first thing I do is put

on comfy clothes I immediately have to take off my shoes

and take off my bra and put on something more comfortable I have on this tank top with the lace,

which is perfect.

And then I have on shorts also.

I am trying to embrace fall fully, but it was like 80 degrees out today.

So it's gonna be a while until I'm actually wearing long sleeves

and jeans and jackets but anyway the first step

when I get home is to change into comfy clothes

and the second step is to make my room feel really cozy

so I turn on all of my night lighting and I'm also gonna light my candles right now.

I almost always have a candle lit in my room but especially during fall time.

Fall scents are my absolute favorite.

So I got this cinnamon caramel swirl candle.

This one smells really good.

I am so excited for this one, but I had to go with my leaves candle.

This is my favorite scent of all time.

I purchased one of these every single year.

And as soon as I smell it for the first time every year, that's when the season officially starts.

This candle also means so much to me.

It has such a nostalgic scent.

In 2015, I started my freshman year of high school

and I used to light this candle every single night after I came home from school.

That entire time period is so crazy to look back on.

So I love this 2000s fall trend going on because I remember that time so well.

And it was honestly such a vibe.

And it's crazy how much a scent sticks to your memory.

They say your sense of smell is most intertwined with your memories.

So this is one of those scents, every time I smell it, it just brings me back to that era.

So I love it.

I end up repurchasing this candle every single year because it just takes me back to my roots. so I

wanted to make my living room just as cozy too.

This is one of the first videos I'm filming where my house is like completely done and decorated.

So I'm so excited to show you what everything looks like.

I've been spending a lot of time in my living room

right here on the couch with this show on in particular

and I feel like especially for this time of year I just love how it looks.

And this is what my kitchen is looking like too.

I honestly prefer my kitchen at night.

I feel like with the under cabinet lighting it looks so good.

It just feels very cozy and also it's very clean that makes a huge difference.

There are some dishes in the sink so I'm gonna get those done really quick so my entire house feels perfect.

I want to pick out what book I'm gonna start with this fall.

I honestly have a couple ideas.

I don't know if I want to jump into a series or read a standalone first.

The first ones that catch my eye are of course the Vampire Diaries.

I really want to read the books since I love the show so much.

I found these at a super random bookstore last year.

They were only like a dollar each and I was like, I have to take these home.

It is kind of crazy the amount of times I've watched this show, but I've never read the books so I think that would be so fun to do.

I read this book last fall and it was okay.

Like it was cute but it wasn't really anything crazy.

I also really want to reread Once Upon a Broken Heart especially with the novella coming out really soon.

I am so excited for that.

At this point I have a never-ending to read list.

It was exactly a year ago that I started reading consistently, which is crazy to think about.

I posted my first Reading Diaries video and that video started at all.

Like ever since then, reading has been one of my favorite hobbies.

I feel like all of the fantasy romance books I've read give such a fall vibe.

And honestly, book shopping and reading is like the perfect fall activity.

So I've been reading so much and I've also been listening to audiobooks on Spotify, which has been so nice too.

Since I've had a never-ending to read list, it helps so much to listen to some of my books.

So the first one I really want to start reading is called Practical Magic.

And the fourth book called Book of Magic is on Spotify.

So I have a lot to catch up on.

I've heard this series is so amazing though.

So I think I'm going to listen to this series next.

But there are so many books on here that are on my to read list.

100

As I said, I mainly gravitate towards fantasy romance, but I do want to branch out to some other genres.

101

I think especially listening to a book in a genre

102

that I wouldn't usually read would make it so much easier to try something new.

103

And it makes me so excited.

104

I can't wait to read more this season.

105

So I will keep you guys updated on all of the books

106

that I read and all of the books that I listen to.

107

So definitely check out the audiobooks on Spotify.

108

And thank you so much to them for sponsoring today's video.

109

Usually I would wait until after dinner to take my shower.

110

But I am just so excited to use all my fall scents right now.

111

Year round I like smelling really sweet.

112

I always gravitate towards the vanilla, brown sugar, almond scents.

113

But I feel like especially this time of year it all just makes sense I have

114

so many like creamy vanilla cinnamon scents I always start my

115

shower by just using a bar of soap I'm finishing this Dove Beauty Bar

116

which smells really clean

117

but really sweet It's honestly just the perfect space to wash off the day

118

And then I use a shower gel And I am

119

so excited to bring back the warm vanilla sugar from Bath

120

and Body Works I love this scent so much I have it in a body wash, a body lotion, and a body mist It is so good And next for this one,

121

I finally restocked my Victoria's Secret vanilla body scrub.

122

And I am so excited for this one too.

123

Victoria's Secret body products are like the most underrated products ever.

124

This is also very much where the 2005 comes in.

125

Because I feel like especially during that era, I had so many Victoria's Secret pink products.

126

Especially the body mists.

127

Like that was a crazy time.

128

But anyway, their body scrubs are so insane.

129

I love the honey one and I love the vanilla.

130

And then lastly, I do my entire shave routine.

131

I'm also not washing my hair today, so I will show you guys my full hair care routine in a separate video, but the body care is the most fun part anyway.

132

I feel like there's a food that I crave specifically for every season

133

and every fall I want a grilled cheese and tomato soup so that's what I decided to make for dinner tonight.

134

It's so easy and it doesn't make a huge mess in my clean kitchen.

135

I have been wanting this so bad the last couple weeks, but it's been so hot.

136

This is the meal that I associate with fall.

137

I crave a grilled cheese and tomato soup this time of year, every single year.

138

And it's all I've been thinking about the last couple weeks.

139

So I am so excited that we're having this tonight.

140

I have my tomato soup.

141

I just got the canned one.

142

Maybe eventually I will make it from scratch and that will be so delish.

143

But for now, this one is perfect.

144

It's really good.

145

I put some extra heavy cream on top, some salt and pepper, and some fresh basil.

146

That is from my backyard.

147

My plants have been doing so good specifically my basil

148

So i've been trying to add it to everything and i'm really excited for this And then I made a grilled cheese, which i'm so excited for too It has been too long since I had this meal.

149

So i'm gonna eat this and i'm gonna watch my show

150

honestly this part of my night routine is my favorite

151

because this is what never changes i usually get in bed around 11

152

and i'll write in my journal or i'll scroll on pinterest

153

and then it's time to use my nighttime products i love going to sleep to the smell of my lotion

154

and my body mist.

155

So I always put these on last.

156

Of course, I'm using the warm vanilla sugar.

157

It smells so good.

158

And I'm also using a new vanilla lip mask.

159

And now it's time to take off my makeup.

160

My routine is very simple.

161

I first take a cleansing balm like this

162

and I apply it right to my skin and then massage it in for a good like two minutes.

163

This just melts away all my makeup.

164

It makes it so easy to get it completely removed.

165

And then I soak a washcloth and I use that to soak it all off.

166

It feels so good taking off my makeup this way because I know I'm getting every product off.

167

I'm gonna head to sleep but thank you guys

168

so much for watching and staying until the end I love all of you guys

169

so much I'm so excited for this season I have

170

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.
