Shadowing Practice: REFRESH & RESTOCK with me | my complete home and life reset! - Learn English Speaking with Video

in this video i'm going to be resetting restocking

and refreshing my entire space

and my entire life i feel like recently i really figured out a routine

and little things to do on on a daily basis to make my life so much easier.

And the first thing is keeping my space clean.

So starting in my kitchen, I'm gonna do my daily cleaning.

Doing the dishes is always my least favorite chore, so I usually put these off for as long as possible.

But instead I've been trying to do a little bit every day.

That way it feels a lot less overwhelming.

My goal has been to keep up with the dishes and keep the countertops clean, which I feel like has been really doable.

That way it's not building up and it looks a lot cleaner in here on a daily basis.

But since I'm trying to reset my entire space, I'm gonna take it one step further and clean my stove.

This is something I've been needing to do for a while.

So I feel like this is a good time to get this done too.

This entire area looks so much better.

Look how shiny it all looks.

I love it.

And I finished my paper towels, so I restocked those.

The last thing I want to do is the floors.

I got a Roomba vacuum a couple months ago, which has been the best thing ever.

So I took away my kitchen rug.

Hey!

And I'm having that vacuum all of the floor.

I also just had to restock my vacuum bags.

This old bag had almost three months of dirt and dust and hair, and it was insane how much it picked up.

So I'm so glad I restocked those.

I'm also cleaning out the dustbin in my vacuum over time.

It's just gotten so dirty too And i'm also filling it up with cleaning solution

and water so I can have it mop my floor also

And lastly i'm using this almond floor cleaner to scrub any extra spots and to seal my clean floors

honestly i don't think my kitchen has ever been this clean

i wanted to do more than just my daily cleaning

that i've been doing and it definitely feels like a complete reset in here it's like shining

and sparkling it looks so good

i just changed and i'm heading into the store to do some restocking

and i can't lie i am

so excited for this it's honestly like the most satisfying thing ever to finish something completely

and then get to go to the store

and pick out a new one so i have a couple things on my list

that i'm gonna get today and i'm so proud of myself

because i keep remembering to bring my grocery bags

and just reusing them it has taken me years to do this

because i always try to remember but i never do

but the last couple months i've been remembering and it is the best thing ever

so the first thing i need to get is some laundry scent beads

i almost always get the cherry blossom scent it smells

so floral and clean so i might just get this one again the ocean mist smells really good too

and i actually really like this floral citrus one too but i think i have to go with this one

and i also need to get a new stain remover spray

i also need to get a refill of these disinfecting wipes i also need to get a new dish soap

because i'm completely out and this dishwasher detergent

i'm very excited for everything i restocked mainly

because these are all cleaning products

and i don't know what it is about cleaning products

but they are so fun to shop for starting with these scent beads i'm

so excited to have these again i ran out a

while ago and i love washing all of my clothes

and blankets and towels with a scent booster like this

because it makes everything smell so good

so i got the scent cherry blossom this one smells

so good and so sweet so I'm so excited to restock this one.

Next I bought a refill of these disinfecting wipes.

I really like these because they're a lot better for the environment.

They're in the scent Fresh Citrus.

I have the reusable bin, so I'm so excited to fill it up.

And these just make my life so much easier.

Next, I got dish soap.

I ran completely out last night.

And especially since I'm cleaning my entire house in this video, I wanted to make sure to have dish soap.

I'm really excited to restock my glass jar of these.

I needed these so bad.

And then to go with my dishwasher, I got this detergent booster.

I use this because the hard water where I live is very intense

and my dishwasher will get completely white and my dishes will look super foggy

if I don't use this so i ran completely out

so i got a new one

and then same thing with this spray stain remover the last one took me years to run out of

so i finally got a new one i'm

so happy with everything i restocked now back to cleaning my

room is looking really good i've been trying to keep it clean

and picked up the only thing i want to do is

wash my sheets with my new scent booster i love getting into bed at night

and my sheets feel really clean and they smell really good

I've also been trying to keep my bedside table clean and organized

And once my clean sheets come out of the washer

and dryer I'll make my bed and my room will feel so much more cozy

i've been using my whoop band for a couple months now to track all of my stats

and especially in a video like this where i'm resetting

and getting my life together i love having my whoop

so i can check in with myself i can see everything on here from my sleep score

and recovery and strain to my steps walked my menstrual cycle my heart rate

so having my whoop app makes it so easy to check in with myself and see my progress over time.

One of my main goals has been to walk a lot more.

So I check my step count every single day.

So like yesterday I had over 10 ,000 steps and then today so far I have 8 ,900.

So it's honestly so nice to just track my progress.

And I feel like it helps so much to see a visual like this.

My whoop honestly tracks everything.

Like there are stats on here that are so crazy.

100

My sleep performance is one of them.

101

I get a sleep score every single night based on the

102

hours of sleep I got versus the hours of sleep I needed.

103

My sleep consistency, efficiency and my sleep stress

104

and I just love seeing it all laid out like this it's also

105

so crazy how much my sleep influences my next day

106

so I'll wake up sometimes feeling really tired or really energized

107

and as soon as I see my sleep score it all makes sense

108

so you can try whoop for one month completely free using my link

109

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

110

i haven't been this excited to go to bed in a

111

while i'm so tired today was such a long day

112

but i feel so accomplished i literally got everything done

113

that was on my to -do list and now my room feels

114

so cozy and perfect for nighttime

115

so i'm gonna rinse off the day by taking a shower i'm gonna use all of my recent favorite products

116

and scents and i'm gonna shave just like i always do

117

because getting into bed with soft skin

118

and smelling really good is my favorite thing and on top of

119

that my sheets are really clean and soft and they smell so good and my room just feels so cozy.

120

This is the perfect nighttime vibe.

121

Is there anything better than this?

122

i have an early nail appointment today i am really sad

123

to say goodbye to this set i was very tempted to just get the same design again

124

so i'm doing something kind of similar but i'm really excited to have a fresh set on

125

next i'm heading to a cafe to get some work done There's a local cafe

126

that just came out with their fall menu and i'm

127

so excited and I also have

128

so much to do It's kind of crazy like i'm really trying not to get stressed out

129

But the amount of things on my to -do list is like ridiculous

130

So I had my nail appointment this morning and then later today.

131

I also have my hair appointment I need to get my roots done so bad.

132

It's been bothering me so much

133

But until then I have a couple hours to just get some work done

134

So why not get it done with a coffee in my hand?

135

I feel like anytime i'm feeling stressed out like this

136

or I have a lot on my plate I just get out of my normal workspace

137

and I try to make it a little extra fun by romanticizing my life and heading over to a cafe, getting my favorite drink, and just getting stuff done.

138

those appointments always take so long

139

but I just finished she actually curled my hair today

140

which I really like I never have my hair curled

141

but I think it looks so cute and I'm so glad I got that We're done.

142

it's a couple days later i got myself an iced chai

143

latte with oat milk this morning i never get a chai latte

144

but it's my mom's go -to order so i got her one

145

and then i decided to get me one

146

and it's really good i love it

147

but anyway i just wanted to sit down

148

and end this video i feel like i got

149

so much done in the last couple days even off camera the amount of working

150

and editing and everything i've been doing has been so crazy

151

and i just feel so relieved that i got

152

so much done my to -do list is like basically all checked off

153

and i also had time to do a little life reset

154

this ended up being like a full glow up video also i got my hair done

155

which i'm so happy about i ended up going to someone different than i usually go to

156

and i think she did a really good job i still

157

have some curls in my hair i also got my nails done

158

and i love this set so much these are actually so perfect.

159

I love the colors pink and brown.

160

And I also got a pedicure, which I never do.

161

Honestly, the last time I got a pedicure was years and years ago.

162

Every time I get a pedicure, I'm like, I have to do this more often.

163

Otherwise my house is feeling so clean.

164

I don't know if you can hear my Roomba vacuum in the background, but I've been keeping the floor super picked up so

165

that I can do it cycles and it's been staying so clean in my house.

166

So I'm so happy about that.

167

So anyway, I'm going to drink my coffee.

168

My mom is coming to pick me up and my plan is just to relax after getting so much done.

169

So thank you guys so much for watching until the very end.

170

I love you all so so much.

171

I will see you guys soon in my next video and I hope you have an amazing rest of your day.

172

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.
