This is literally crap.

This is disgusting.

Hey guys, so you guys said that you wanted to see what I do to get ready for a gymnastic competition.

So today I'm going to show you

and I'm also going to tell you at the end what makes my makeup last all day through a competition.

But first I'm going to go shopping at Target.

Alright, hold up.

Low -key I want some Starbucks.

Let's get some.

I'm going to get a pink drink with no strawberries and no cold foam.

Guys, I got my Apple Pay today.

I went to Chase.

I was very businesswoman, you know, and I got my Apple Pay.

I also got Zelle.

So if you guys want to Zelle me, I'm just kidding.

May I please have a pink drink with no strawberries?

Thank you.

This one's low -key gas.

As you add more milk, it gets gasser.

Gasser, new word.

I might be over my cold foam stage.

I'm not getting that anymore.

Because I cannot be spending $8 every single time I want to go to Starbucks.

Don't make me fall off.

This is fun all right guys first we're gonna get all the things

that i need for my hair and makeup

because i got a little distracted but let's get the first thing

that i'm gonna look for is a powder this looks like

a charlotte tilbury zoo what setting powders do you guys usually use i normally use the charlotte tilbury one

or tower 28

but it broke hey guys setting powder is one of the most important things in makeup

and making it stay all day all right guys i have to get a couple more things

but make sure you stay till the end to see my

gymnastics maybe take two people were staring at me all right

anyways guys what i was saying is make sure you stay

till the end to see my gymnastics finished makeup routine

because it's the only thing that lasts and i hate how hairspray feels

so i'm just gonna try this mousse it's for like really curly hair

but like whatever it's like all right i'm just gonna get this one

because it seems like it would hold my hair a little bit

and i just put in like the top part of my hair

so that it stays she don't believe in shooting stars

but she believes in choosing cards stop it all right guys

my favorite brush of all time is this one it's perfect

for wet hair it low -key slays the day away okay

also this used to be my hand like i use this every day and it smells so good i miss it

but i don't think it's good for your hair so

if you guys use this tell me if it's good for your hair

because i want to start again it's really cheap and it smells

so good also guys i ran out of this one product

and i need it for the final routine at the end

and then put it all over my face and

if you guys saw the last video you saw

that i finally got my hands on this road blazing milk

while also guys i just want to show you this really quick

so a couple days ago i needed powder

and i just saw this powder in my room

and this brush actually it was in my dad's office

and i was doing something like on his computer like um a call

and i needed powder

so i decided to use this this is literally expired the only places i put it was like right here

elf let's make some better packaging ew all right during summer

time for gymnastics i'm in the gym five days a week for five

and a half hours

100

and right now i'm only there for four hours five days a week after school

101

but yeah it's fun the hours haven't like gotten any more anything

102

but i don't know i feel like level eight is a

103

lot harder i feel like it was like a big jump

104

from level seven to eight anyways now i'm gonna put this

105

it's like green cream i guess i haven't used it too much

106

but i'm gonna put it on the areas

107

that i put my dad's thing

108

and this will help blur some red on my skin i think

109

and i'm in high school so i'm in a new school

110

and i think it's fine i mean there's

111

so much work now i feel like i have

112

122

so dark i got the wrong shade i meant to click like shade two

123

and this is shade three so i never use it

124

and make sure you guys stick till the end

125

because there's one product that's so good

127

because it's too dark for me it works for me in the summer

128

129

but i didn't do too much and i have a lot of gymnastics

130

132

so i want to go to like parties with my friends

133

and stuff like that like just hang out with my friends more this summer i feel like

141

because tomorrow i have to volunteer for like four hours for the competition

142

so we're just doing it together and it starts at 8 a .m

we're halfway through the school year how are you guys school's like i'm ready for it to be over

151

but it's not the worst thing my favorite part of school is after lunch

152

when i get to just sit on the couch with my

153

friends on my phone that's the best part of school

154

or leaving i like

155

that class too this competition i don't know i feel like

156

i don't get as stressed out for competitions anymore i'm

157

so scared like once i get to the event i get stressed out oh yeah guys okay

158

so last competition i had practice on friday it was only a two -hour practice

159

because of the fires here in LA so it's really bad breathing quality

160

so there's only two and a half hours

161

so we could only do like one more compete on each event

162

so I got to bars and it was my last event

163

and I was really tired but I still had to do it

164

so I was doing my like floor routine I start with

165

a pirouette like on the other side of the bar

166

so I was doing my kit cast handstand pirouette

167

and then I like leaned way too far over

168

and my head was out so like I couldn't get my legs on top of me

169

so my legs were like that way

170

so then I was like falling flat on the floor

171

and I like couldn't go this way soon i was just gonna hit the floor

172

and like let go and fell on my back but i didn't

173

so i did like a reverse clear hip my hands like this

174

and then i kept on spinning around the bar

175

and then i accidentally let go on like under the bar

176

and i fell right on my face and it hurt

177

so bad and then i had a competition the next day

178

but whatever okay bro i can't open this powder i don't understand how

179

how many times does it take me to open this powder oh i was opening it from the wrong way

180

oh oh wait I forgot like four steps now I'm gonna do bronzer

181

and my makeup has to eat for this competition

182

if you guys want to see a tutorial how to curl

183

your hair let me know even though I never come I love this Patrick tall blush right now

184

because it's like do we at perfect and then powder

185

and the cream so you can use both then I'm using this nurse pop concealer

186

and I never really use this button right now

187

because my dad's powder i'm gonna use it for competitions i'm only at the gym for like three hours

188

but um i want my makeup to last the entire time

189

and lasting through gymnastics is hard and the layers of powder

190

that i was using that's what like helps us stay

191

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.
