hello my beautiful people welcome back to another video

so quickly before we get into this video i kind of wanted to give my two cents on the

that girl trend because i've seen a lot of positives

and i've seen a few negatives

so i just wanted to give my quick comment on it personally i really think

that that girl trend is about being productive and is supposed to be really motivating.

It's not bashing that you're supposed to have this one routine

or one way to live and that if you're not being super productive then like that's not okay.

It's more so working towards the best version of yourself.

Being that ideal girl that you have in your head and it looks different for everybody.

Whatever it is that you think being that girl is,

go out and do it.

Keep working on yourself.

We can always grow more as people.

Like I think our growth is always continuous

and we're never going to stop and I really think that this trend motivates people to keep growing and like

change little things in their daily routines,

daily habits that they can implement that overall just helps to improve their life.

So I hope I explained that well enough but let's just get into this video.

I hope you guys enjoy.

Personally I feel like the Batgirl day starts with the night routine so I'm setting my alarm.

It's currently almost 10 20.

I'm gonna get up at 5 50.

It's about seven and a half hours normally I try

and aim for eight

but I didn't realize how early I was going to get up for a day as

that girl but yeah I'll see you guys in the morning so

good morning

so i just woke up it is around 6am i just did my skincare we are starting off the day

as that girl and made my bed.

These are things that I typically do first thing in my morning routine anyways.

Some of the other like little habits that I picked up were like drinking a lemon water,

doing gratitude and journaling, which I do sometimes.

I don't do every day.

Going for a morning walk,

you know, green juice, morning workouts,

healthy breakfast, to-do lists all

that good stuff I'm excited to get this day started I feel like a lot of these things are things

that I already do most days anyways

but I also feel like personally just like being

that girl is doing things that are working towards being a better version of you

and overall like bettering your routines bettering your life being more productive it's whatever kind of makes you feel good

and whatever being that girl is to you like that's what you need to do.

Whether that is, you know,

making a green smoothie or it's going for a walk or it's doing a Pilates workout,

like there isn't one routine or one way to be that girl.

So like I said, it's kind of whatever it means to you and whatever makes you feel good.

I just threw on this green crew neck this morning

because it's always cold in my apartment in the mornings now that it's like 30 degrees outside.

But yeah, we're gonna go make warm lemon water and do my little five minute journal and like to-do lists.

Already pretty warm out, it's a little breezy,

but it is only like 6.20 a.m.

So, didn't get up early enough to watch the sunrise, but that's okay.

I feel like it's gonna be a beautiful day,

like it's not too humid out, so.

It is grocery day and I'm completely self-sabotaging here because I didn't have any lemons so we are having warm lime water.

Okay, it's not horrible.

Lemon is better but not bad.

all right so i got my warm lemon water i got my little candle going i feel like being

that girl really means taking care of your mental health as well as physical health

so i'm going to do my little five minute gratitude journal as well as my daily to-do lists also

if you guys haven't seen this already.

It's my little Dr. Zeus notebook.

I think it's adorable.

Basically in this little journal all I do is my to-dos,

daily goals, how can I improve,

and then something for me.

And this is like my mental care for me.

It's kind of like a little check-in daily for me.

all right i just changed into my workout clothes

and then apparently i like this color today

but i'm gonna throw this on in case it gets a little cool

because i'm gonna go on a walk first

and listen to a podcast wearing this little alphalete bra

and then nike pros because i don't actually have any like short matching sets also

if you want to work out in pajamas

if you want to work out in whatever you feel comfortable in

or go for a walk and whatever you feel comfortable in you should do

that don't feel like you have to wear a cute matching set

my love language is your time

and attention won't you give some

of it to me

I don't

know how

many times I can complain about this until the gyms are finally open again

but my 25 pound dumbbells are not doing it justice i

miss my like 180 pound hip thrusts that's all let's work out

We're getting off that easily Oh,

we get back on the same page Tonight we can stay And why don't you Talk to me,

talk to me Let's start a conversation When you spend your time with me You're speaking my love language Talk to me,

talk to me We don't need a translation when you spend your time with me you're speaking my love language

love language love language love language

when you spend your time with me you're speaking my love language

all right i just did my hair and my makeup and I got dressed.

I'm just wearing this little yellow Princess Polly dress because I feel like another aspect of being that girl is like,

you already have your ish together.

So like you get ready for the day before the day even gets started.

You know, you do your hair,

you do your makeup, you get all dressed.

100

But I also just feel like it makes you sometimes a lot more productive

101

and you get things done if you kind of put yourself together and you get all ready for the day.

102

So that is what I did today.

103

I am literally starving now.

104

So it's breakfast time.

105

so now it's time to get my workday started

106

so i'm going to sit out here i'm going to eat my oats

107

and i just added pomegranate raspberries banana coconut and peanut butter on top

108

and drink my coffee but get my workday started answer emails

109

and then my plan is to go to the grocery store

110

probably in about 35-40 minutes after I'm done like answering emails

111

because I have some errands to pick up and just grocery store

112

and I also feel like just grocery store

113

and healthy food shopping is also part of the like whole

114

that girl routine so

115

that is what we're going to do after I get a

116

little bit of work done I don't have any clients until later this afternoon

117

So it's kind of nice that I just get to do some admin,

118

but that is the plan

119

let's do a quick little grocery haul i just got back

120

so first thing we got a bag of avocados got two red mangoes a papaya

121

because it is papaya vote season

122

and I've been obsessed with them I literally love them a thing of blueberries my bloobs bananas Greek yogurt

123

because the sker was too expensive this week it's basically the same

124

but sometimes I find Greek yogurt breaks me out a little bit more

125

but zero percent broccoli cucumber some chicken

126

and then of course a big thing of spinach

127

but I'm gonna get back to work now before it's time for lunch it's around 11 o'clock

128

so I'll probably work for about an hour

129

and then have a little lunch break so something else

130

that I haven't talked about yet but I feel like I should

131

because I've seen this in a lot of routines as well is reading

132

and like reading for enjoyment

133

or reading for self-improvement I currently I'm just reading for enjoyment

134

not really for self-improvement I'm rereading the Court of Thorn and Roses series,

135

almost done, Court of Mist and Fury.

136

I read these back when I was in grade 11

137

and I'm just rereading them because a new one came out in the series.

138

But some of my favorite like self-help or like just mindset books,

139

Atomic Habits, as well as The Little Book of Higg are probably two of my favorites.

140

But I feel like that girl,

141

you know, she tries to expand her vocabulary.

142

She learns and like, I don't know where I'm going with this,

143

but I'm going to sit and read for a little bit before I make lunch.

144

For lunch we're gonna make one of my quick favorite easy salads.

145

It's a tuna chickpea salad.

146

If you want this to be plant-based,

147

sub for some non-dairy cheese and then not tuna,

148

just use chickpeas and then maybe add black beans.

149

But you just need cherry tomatoes cucumber avocado red pepper green olives

150

and then i'll show you how to make the dressing i've

151

been waking up feeling low you're on my mind like all of the time but you're so despicable

152

and seeing what you've been sharing online and i miss your good parts

153

Then remember that you were a thorn in my side

154

I know I'll be fine If you stay on your side of town No,

155

I don't wanna see you around Why don't you stay on your side of town We might be cool someday,

156

but not right now Bitch,

157

don't follow me And then for the dressing,

158

it's red wine vinegar, a little bit of olive oil,

159

salt and pepper, and some Italian seasoning.

160

You guys are probably thinking I forgot something so important that is like integral to being that girl and that's green juices.

161

Now, if you've been around my channel a while,

162

you know I normally like to make like a green green juice smoothie

163

so that it's more filling and normally that's like a first

164

or second breakfast like it's part two of my breakfast but

165

because you know we're really emulating that girl

166

and like green juice green juice not just green smoothies got a surprise I have green juices okay

167

so I'm gonna go for I think this fresh one here green juice with lunch let's go eat outside

168

all right lunch and i thought i'd do a little taste test of the dose juice

169

because i've never had them before

170

so like i said i have the fresh one it's cucumber orange kale

171

and more that's what it says but here we go

172

not bad i feel like too though i have a pretty tame palette like i'm not opposed to a lot of things.

173

It's not sweet at all so like if you're looking for like a sweeter juice probably this one isn't your best.

174

It's only got seven grams of sugar

175

and it's probably like no added sugar all natural so it's just from the like orange and stuff.

176

Yeah you know what I like it.

177

I feel like it's like one of those like every so often maybe once a month things.

178

I'm gonna end off the video here.

179

I hope you guys enjoyed this morning to afternoon day of trying to be like really be Batgirl,

180

really emulating all these positive vibes and healthy habits and I hope you guys learned a thing or two.

181

I was thinking of doing kind of like an afternoon to evening Batgirl

182

because I know some people aren't morning people

183

and they still want to have a Batgirl routine but just don't have like the morning vibes you know?

184

So I was thinking of doing a 4 p.m

185

or 3 p.m on sort of Batgirl day afternoon sometimes that's

186

me too like I don't always like a morning workout I like working out at like 6 7 p.m

187

and you know there's also healthy habits that you can do like night hygiene

188

and night skincare so let me know what you guys think about that

189

so like I said I'm gonna end off the video here

190

I really hope you guys enjoyed hopefully I will see you in the next one

191

and I love you all so much thank you always for your support bye

192

I almost didn't recognize your face and I knew the day would come

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.
