that at all i'm not complaining but the only time she's really ever like friendly

or wanting to cuddle and show affection is when she wants extra treats

moisturized lips gonna do it for me every time i feel like a little crispy cream glazed donut so

I'm

going to go to the next video so

I'm sorry.

I just finished coloring up a page of the coloring book that I picked up from Barnes & Noble.

It's the cute and relaxing bold and easy coloring book.

Look at the cutesy pages that this one has.

I love how big the pictures are.

Makes it just a little bit easier to color.

And I just colored my first page, orange and gray kitty in a mug.

I was thinking about doing the mug like a light blue teal color.

But honestly, I love the green.

This is so freaking cute and it was so relaxing.

I'm doing something and really putting my attention to it rather than being on my phone.

Helps me sleep and kind of doze off a little bit more easier.

As I was coloring, I was also watching one of Miss Remy Ashton's newest videos.

I love me some Miss Remy Ashton.

Her and Alicia will forever be my favorite comfort YouTubers.

Do you guys have that one just comfort vlogger that you can watch literally anytime when you're eating, when you're having a bad day, when you're having a good day?

Anytime I watch one of their videos, it just puts a smile on my face.

And I love those girls so much.

And I immensely look up to both of them more than they'll ever know.

I'm also a YouTube girly through and through.

Like I would rather watch a bunch of youtube videos than watch a show

or a movie You need to get to putting these colors away

And I also got to put on my pajamas

because your girlie is feeling tired The pasta the carbs are

starting to get to me I'm currently in the middle of

baking I feel like it's gonna get a little bit loud

and noisy You guys probably cannot even hear me I need

to switch you guys over to the hollyland lark a1 Just gonna connect it to my phone

While that's like mixing in the background can you guys still hear me?

I bet you 100% can And that is the magic

that I absolutely love about the hollyland lark a1 microphone

And I want to take a moment to thank today's sponsor of the video, Hollyland.

I'm putting the ultimate real-world stress through the test with this mini microphone.

And I want you guys to hear how loud the mixer is right now.

This is my go-to mini microphone for all of my audio.

You guys know that I have been relying on the Hollyland Lark A1 for literally months now, whether I'm going on my hot girl walk, baking, there's just a noisy scenery around me.

It is genuinely a constant in my workflow.

And it actually has three-level advanced noise cancellation.

That is exactly why when my mixer is going on in the background, you guys can still hear me perfectly fine The mini microphone just adapts to everything really easily

and honestly you guys the high quality sound really does speak for itself It's really professional

100

and gives me that crisp audio every single time It's actually a little magnetic clip

101

If you guys have been looking to elevate your audio game prime day is literally the perfect time to do

102

so from june 23rd All the way to the 29th the lark a1 combo

103

and as well as the mini duo are a massive 20% off

104

which leaves the prices down to $48.29

105

which is such a steal it is an incredible upgrade whether

106

it's for yourself your content family friends you guys can click

107

the link in my pen comments to check out the hollyland

108

lark a1 this really does taste like orange phantom soda what

109

a day it has been it's now more leaning towards the afternoon

110

and i am hitting a little midday crash we had to bring the summer vibes

111

and open up a orange kiss alani i forgot to book an eyebrow appointment specialist

112

that does my eyebrows i'm just gonna get my eyebrows

113

and upper lip wax at a nail salon i don't have a problem getting my eyebrows done

114

but i just feel so bad

115

because i'm like cheating on my girl i forgot to book an appointment

116

and she's not available

117

because girl my eyebrows are not looking good you know i've

118

been loving this clean fresh yummy gloss from covergirl in the

119

flavor coconuts about you it's like a pinky glaze lip gloss

120

my favorite thing about this lip gloss is honestly the applicator it's

121

so big and i love it okay besties let's get down and let's get these girlies waxed. And they're looking amazing.

122

My nails are at that weird awkward stage where they're not lifting.

123

There's a bunch of my actual nail already just like starting to grow

124

so they're just really sensitive like

125

if i press on them a little bit too much just

126

need to really be careful side note though my period has been insane changed

127

so much within these past few months i used to start at the end of the month

128

and then it randomly switched over to starting at the middle of the month

129

and then it randomly switched to starting at the beginning of

130

the month now my cycle is switching back to now starting at the end of the month

131

so some months i think around like through the 15th

132

or the 18th but no now i'm starting at like the 25th 26

133

so it's genuinely just all over the place honestly though now

134

that i got out of the house i feel like my

135

energy has gone just a little bit up you know just

136

doing something moving around i just found the best parking pick

137

up some things for dinner i actually wanted to eat out tonight

138

but i thought that it wouldn't be a very smart decision

139

because i went out to eat yesterday

140

and i'm just you know trying to trying to not give

141

into the cravings okay i'm trying to not give into the cravings

142

but in a way i still am gonna give into the

143

cravings instead of going out to eat i'm gonna make dinner really craving carbs i really want pasta

144

so i think i'm gonna pick up a personal pan pizza

145

from the deli then i have ingredients already to make spaghetti

146

so maybe spaghetti and pizza i ate lunch like two hours ago

147

so we're good until dinner what should i get what should

148

i get oh mushroom i don't know wait what is this one pepperoni

149

and jalapeno i don't really like jalapeno i mean i'm down

150

to get one of these just a regular circle pizza

151

but i don't want a big one my brother is not even here He's out of town.

152

So it would literally just be like me and my mom eating this

153

and I don't know Imagine I just like end up getting the big one It kind of sucks

154

that they don't have any other ones here mushroom mozzarella and goat cheese Honestly, I would not mind eating this.

155

It looks like it's the last one too.

156

Should I get out of my comfort zone?

157

I don't mind a pepperoni and I guess I can always just like take off the jalapenos I just do the mushroom.

158

I also really love chicken salad so much so I don't know if I should get that or the pizza.

159

Do you want spaghetti?

160

Yeah no I think we're gonna stick with the pizza.

161

Let's ignore the fact that I probably look like a little boy right now.

162

Came home, took off my bra, immediately put on a big oversized shirt.

163

I've been here doing some editing for a sponsorship and I really want to get that edited.

164

Working remote and just building my own schedule.

165

I basically choose when I want to work

166

But I love editing content creating content literally all the time

167

So to me this does not even feel like work

168

because it is my true But since I don't have any plans for the rest of the evening, I know kind of boring friday night No plans what's new

169

literally what's new maybe go to a coffee shop to get

170

some more editing done for the rest of the evening Though

171

i've been obsessed with going on sunset walks ever since the sun has been setting at like 8 30 I'm, literally just being brought back to life to go to bed instead of like, okay.

172

I am tired Does that make that?

173

I didn't know makes it some nights.

174

I don't even have a morning routine I'm, just straight up editing for hours until I go to bed other nights I'm hanging out with friends

175

or just being with family It really does just depend on the night

176

and I feel like since today is a friday night Kind of just more chill and less structured.

177

So that's why it's kind of it's kind of all over

178

the place What is in my editing bag my tried

179

and true coach purse

180

But i'm gonna use her until I quite literally cannot anymore obviously taking my keys with me I don't know

181

if I showed you guys this lululemon keychain charm. So cute.

182

It's like a little fanny pack Always bring with me my airpods shout out lionel Obviously, I have to take my wallet which has my driver's license money

183

and all that my prescribed glasses

184

that I finally got back from my older brother's house They were missing for literally like three months.

185

I didn't have glasses finally got those back the covergirl lip gloss that I cannot Stop applying my macbook and my ipad.

186

Also you guys I get

187

so many compliments on my macbook case A lot of people say whenever i'm like working

188

when I have it up It's just like shining at them and they absolutely love it.

189

And I'm like, thanks girl, Amazon.

190

Also for my iPad, I might need to get a new case soon.

191

She's already looking a little yellow, but you know, she's fine.

192

Okay, it's okay.

193

My MacBook and iPhone charger.

194

I always try to bring with me my Holy Land mini mics, even when I'm not necessarily filming, because I never know when I might want to pull one out or just do like a little voiceover.

195

Last but not least, probably like the most important essential out of everything, and I'm not even lying, would be my SD card reader.

196

I cannot tell you guys how many times I literally leave my SD card reader at home.

197

What's the point of coming to import footage

198

if I can't even import footage because I need this There has been

199

so many times where I forget this at home

200

And now I make sure it's like a part of like my little checklist

201

I have to pull out the mini mic for this such a good coffee

202

When I find a coffee shop that I really like, especially like a corner that I really like and it makes me really comfy, I will stay here for hours.

203

I'm talking for five, six hours.

204

i'm not even wearing makeup imagine

205

if i was wearing makeup immediately now wait i'm gonna put this on right here yesterday

206

when i went to barnes

207

and noble i ended up getting this book inner excellence train your mind for extraordinary performance and the best Life.

208

This is from Jim Murphy and I really like the back of it.

209

It says that this book is going to help you develop self-mastery, overcome anxiety, remove mental blocks, and train your subconscious mind.

210

Oh, it says that, okay,

211

it's a step-by-step manual for mastering your mind and living with absolute fullness of life, which I think that's the goal, is to just live your life to the fullest.

212

I've been trying to just scroll less on my phone and be like offline.

213

And as much as I love posting content and being consistent with posting content, I wanna also make sure that I am being in the present moment

214

and that I'm not just consumed by like my phone.

215

Focusing on the now, focusing on what matters to me now.

216

Not always thinking about the next thing because sometimes there's nothing to be done.

217

Sometimes the only thing to be done or the only thing to do is to just live. so not

218

even on the third page of this book and whoa to be continued

219

but wow you just find a good book like

220

223

hot girl walk done i did a good 42 minutes i

224

225

to give my thoughts on it yet i feel like i

226

haven't read too much of it to really give my thoughts

227

236

237

even kidding it's this gummy candy sundae bar from bath and bodywork smells so good

238

instead of making the spaghetti with the pizza i instead made

239

my lean cuisine i love getting the chicken alfredo one

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.
