8
Today we're changing that.
9
I'm actually remembering.
10
I specifically wanted to do a Sunday vlog because Sundays are, I feel like, most people's reset days.
11
So today there's a few things that we're going to be doing.
12
I'm touring another apartment, which I've been kind of talking about how I'm moving.
13
Still in the process of that trying to find a place that I like and I think that's not till one Oh, I want to go to the farmer's market today, too I haven't been in new york.
14
I don't think so I researched some last night and there's one
15
that I want to try To go to get some fresh produce and stuff for the week.
16
My mom's actually visiting me right now You just can't see her
17

18
She will not let me film her unfortunately she's in the
19
bathroom getting ready can you hear me mom oh what i was just saying

26
but i'm still gonna do the basics today clean grocery shop
27

29
10 a.m i think we're gonna get coffee well i'm gonna get coffee my mom doesn't drink coffee guys remember
30
when i used to not drink coffee that's crazy to think about what happened to me
31
do i darken my hair for fall i actually had an appointment
32
and i canceled it i just feel like it's really easy for my hair to look too dark
33
and then it really washes me out so i might just leave it
34
but then again like look how blonde some of this is it would be nice to tone it down
35
Anyways trying to decide what to wear today.
36
I can wear this jacket.
37
You guys love this jacket By the way, I don't know if i've said this is from white fox.
38
I get so many questions I get a lot of questions about links from you guys
39
So I decided to just make an ltk
40
because I think it's the easiest It's just a website where all of my links are for everything.
41
So i'll just link it below in each video I really want to wear this Beautiful sweater
42
because ever since I got it a couple days ago.
43
I haven't stopped thinking about it I like it.
44
It came together well.
45
This is very fall.
46
I just got this purse.
47
And I have my favorite jeans ever from Abercrombie.
48
So we just went to my favorite coffee shop.
49
It's called Hungry Ghost.
50
Now we're going to a bookstore.
51
We're really romanticizing our lives today because, well, here's the thing.
52
The plans did get kind of ruined.
53
The farmer's market that we were going to go to is closed on Sundays, which was shocking to me.
54
I feel like that's the number one day that they're open.
55
So I think we're going to probably just do that tomorrow.
56
I think we're going to go to Washington Square Park and read a book.
57
But we're going to go to Inns Bookstore, which is the cutest bookstore ever.
58
I think it's like kind of famous here in the West Village.
59
And maybe get a book?
60
you guys know i've been trying to get into my reading i told myself i wouldn't say era anymore
61
because it's cringing me out now i should go on my instagram story
62
and just ask you guys for book recs
63
but i do read your guys's comments on my videos
64
and i got a couple recs also from friends to read this one it's called the life impossible
65
and i saw this at the bookstore we were at
66
and i was like i'm gonna get it it's not too long
67
and that always motivates me
68
if it's a huge thick book It's like harder for me to start
69
but we're in the park right now
70
and with my mom You can only see her shoulder because she refuses to be on video.
71
Do you want to say anything?
72
Can you interview me mom?
73

78
I have to go.
79
Fall is here when you see the pumpkins on people's steps.
80
We just left the park, though.
81
It was so nice.
82
There's always so much going on there, so, like, the best people watching.
83
People watching is one of my favorite activities.
84
And now we're going to tour an apartment.
85
I'm actually really hopeful for this one.
86
We will see.
87
And it's so much nicer to have my mom with me.
88
She always looks out for my best interest.
89
Keeps it honest with me.
90
Okay, guys, we're at lunch now.
91
We went to this place called Rowe's.
92
It's one of my favorite places in the West Village area.
93
I got an egg sandwich thing.
94
My mom got pizza.
95
I ate her pizza first because I wanted to.
96
And I also got an Aperol squirts.
97
And we're city biking, guys.
98
I'm actually very bad at this because I'm direction challenged.
99
And I'm not also coordinated, So there's two issues at hand, but I got home and I wanted to vlog this because there's a little gift at my door.
100
It says happy Sunday from my neighbor, fresh cookies.
101

105
I didn't vlog it because I forgot.
106

107
Anyways, we are about to go to a Broadway show.
108
I think I mentioned it earlier in the vlog, but we booked tickets to Wicked.
109
I've heard such amazing things about it.
110
So I'm really, really excited to go.
111
I've been to, I think, only a couple of Broadway shows before.
112
And every time they've been so, so good.
113
Is this your first Broadway show, mom?
114
Well, we went to the Rockettes.
115
I don't know if that counts.
116
I'm thinking of wearing probably something really similar to what I wore earlier.
117
I'm gonna put that sweater back on, but I'm gonna put on some little booties maybe.
118
I don't talk about this enough, but this eyeshadow shade is my number one favorite eyeshadow shade since I was probably, I want to say 15.
119

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.
