Hey guys, it's Syd and welcome back.

I could not be happier to be back home in Minnesota.

I was also just reading so many comments about how many of you guys love my Minnesota vlogs.

I can't even put into words how happy that makes me.

The fact that the feeling translates that I get when I'm home, I just feel so peaceful, so happy.

I'm starting out my day a little different.

I have never taken a Pilates class here, but I was on TikTok.

You know, here we go again.

It always goes back to TikTok.

And this Pilates studio that's new came up on my For You page and it looked really fun.

So I booked class last night at 8 p.m.

As you guys know, I don't have a car in New York, so being home and driving, it's a little frightening for me.

I just forget a little bit.

Don't be scared though.

Wow, don't fear.

Please don't panic.

I'm really just saying that to myself.

guys pilates was so good i definitely am out of shape um it was so nice in there it was like such a nice studio the instructor was so sweet she even let me like film something after for my vlog because i one of my pet peeves is i hate when people say that they're gonna do something in a vlog and they go do it and they don't show it it's like then what's the point don't even tell me you You know what I mean?

I really want to go get coffee, but I'm not sure where to go.

I kind of am thinking of trying somewhere new today because I'm in Minneapolis.

I also brought my book with me because I knew when I was home in Minnesota, I'd have a lot more time to just do nothing.

And I've been dying to finish this book.

It's the former coach CEO.

He wrote a book about growing coach, like how he did it, the business side of things, which I always find like super interesting.

And I love coach.

So this just like really appealed to me.

Yes, guys, I know what you're thinking.

What are you doing wearing this coat from 2016?

This is all I have.

Honestly, I have like no clothes here anymore.

So it's either this or like my brother's jacket.

Coffee time.

Can we just take a second to appreciate my parallel parking?

This probably won't happen again for quite a while.

So I'm just taking it in.

Dad, look at this.

Please, please, please watch this part closely.

My recent vlog strategy has been to act like I'm on a FaceTime call.

So people don't know that I'm filming because I'm so scared, especially here.

Like people do not vlog or like do social media.

I feel like as much as in New York.

Okay, guys, I'm at Brim Coffee.

I have my mini microphone and people are looking.

Anyways, I don't care, guys.

I don't care.

I saw on their menu that they have a banana bread latte.

which I thought looked fun and I asked the barista.

I always love asking the barista what they like like and like what they recommend.

You know they could say anything.

They could say the most disgusting drink and I'd probably trust them.

So I don't know why that is but she recommended the banana bread latte.

Taste test I guess.

Oh this actually does taste like a banana bread in latte form.

Why am I speaking like I'm a food reviewer?

The cadence I'm speaking in is sounding like like Food Network, but I knew I could trust her.

And she didn't steer me wrong.

She didn't.

So thank you to her.

I'm going to read a little bit.

It's such a sunny day out.

Not just like my mood is instantly boosted.

I hope you guys don't mind that this is being heavily filmed in my car, but well it's actually my mom's car.

I need to stop into Ulta because I want to get this dry shampoo.

It's the K18 dry shampoo.

This is quite a revelation for me.

They sent it to me about a week and a half ago when I was in New York and I used it and I was like so shocked at how well it worked.

My hair gets greasy very quickly.

Give it six hours it's already a grease fest.

It's hard because I don't want to like wash my hair like twice a day.

Anyways this dry shampoo is honestly like a miracle.

I cannot believe how well it works and i really want my mom to try it i need to have some here now i'm like addicted to this stuff i couldn't bring it on the plane with me here because i packed a carry-on and it was like over the fluid ounce limit i'm gonna go pick some up and i'm not even wearing a jacket because it's so nice out nice as in it's like 59 but that's good enough this actually used to be my home ulta the one that i would always go to so it's always like nostalgic to go in there but sadly they didn't have it i was a little sad about it but then i decided to decompress took a walk um so nice out and i like to get my steps in this feels so nostalgic right now we're back in my old kitchen if you watch my really old videos um you might recognize this my mom and i took a pasta making class in new york about a month ago and about 30 minutes on the way home in the uber after the class she already purchased a whole entire pasta making kit now we have everything that we could possibly need to make our own homemade pasta and she's been waiting until i came home to do it with me she is being mysterious today she doesn't want to be on camera i'll be your assistant i'll pass you things pasta making break i'm on another walk with my dog this time rosie and my dad getting out with rosie that needs a walk for sure she does she loves her walk anyways dad did you know that we're making homemade pasta tonight that's what we're making me and mom so are you excited I am and did you know that Rosie turns 10 this month back to the pasta are you excited yeah definitely do you think it's gonna be good do you think I'm a good cook.

Well.

I made a mistake guys.

I only brought one poop bag instead of two.

And now my dad is carrying.

The dog just went twice.

That was my mistake.

I didn't think she'd go more than once.

I love you.

Dinner is served.

It looks great.

Really?

It is two hours later, so really hoping this was worth it.

I like thicker noodles personally, but it does taste pretty fresh.

You like it?

Yeah.

Success.

It's the next day.

I'm with my family.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, guys.

Hi.

Oh, my gosh.

We're about to go mini golfing.

It's one of our favorite family activities.

I'm just predicting.

I'll be in first and Sydney's second.

Just a prediction.

We'll see what happens, I guess.

Oh, it's my dad's birthday.

Yay.

Start with the guesses.

Start in the low 20s.

I didn't drive here.

I asked my mom to get out so I could come in the front and film.

That's what happened.

Is that rude?

No.

No.

Oh, a little bit.

I don't know why, but I love mini golf.

And I'm actually kind of good at it.

Well, okay, that might be a stretch, but look, I have proof.

I did win and I was happy about it, you know?

I had to record it.

I had to have proof.

Did I even go home if I didn't go to the Mall of America?

Probably not.

I love it here.

We walked around, went into some stores, went into Lush, bought some things that I probably didn't need to buy.

And then we went to my dad's birthday dinner at our favorite restaurant.

It's called Cedar and Stone.

Birthday dinner!

We're done with dinner.

Now we're having our wine.

And dessert.

dessert yeah dessert for sure so we got bread pudding i changed into the shirt in the bathroom yeah that was mandatory otherwise they weren't allowed her in the restaurant Good morning, guys.

I slept in a little bit.

It's so hard for me to not sleep in here.

I'm starting off the morning going to one of my favorite coffee shops ever.

It's called Constellation Coffee.

I love it because they hire people with special needs or disabilities.

And I just think that's so special and I feel like those people really need more opportunities and sometimes aren't like given the opportunities.

So I'm about to go in.

I come here like a lot of the mornings.

Later today my brother and I are going to a concert.

It's actually his first concert ever and I told him I would take him.

It's like one of his favorite artists, Morgan Wallen.

To be honest, I don't know anything about Morgan Wallen, zero.

But I wanted to go for my brother because he loves his music.

So it's kind of the plan, a busy, a fun day.

And then I just extended my trip.

So I'm staying here for a few more days this weekend.

This is the typical uniform, hoodie, sweats, Uggs.

Feeling good.

It's sunny.

I just had my coffee and I'm on my way to get my dry shampoo that I couldn't find a couple days ago.

Hopefully they have it.

I'm going into the Sephora in Kohl's.

Guys, they have it.

It's a good day.

It's actually, no, it's a great day now.

oh gosh my outfit what we are all ready for morgan wallet so excited so here's the thing i didn't know we were gonna go to this and i didn't bring any outfits so i stole my brother's flannel okay here's ashton's outfit okay very morgan wallen very nice ashton What how are you feeling feeling good?

Oh me too same okay You stole my flannel, but that's okay t-shirt jeans, you know I tried I'm not really gonna blend in very much, but I think it's good Yeah, I was really here for the vibes my brother and the food Never really been to a concert that I don't know the artists that well, but it was still really fun Hey guys, I'm back home from the concert.

I think it's like 1230 now.

It was really fun.

I you know Like I said, know nothing about Morgan Wallen, but I did recognize a couple songs and it was honestly just so fun to like spend time with my brother.

Living far away from my family, I think has really made me not take for granted all the time that I have with them.

I just love my family.

I love my brother so much.

So I'm so glad that we got to do that.

Anyways, I'm getting ready for bed now.

I think my mom just texted me to be quiet because she's trying to sleep above me.

Now that I'm a complete disco ball, I'm gonna go to bed.

Night.

done
