00:00:00.000 I am going to be taking you with me as I deep clean the house.
00:00:04.300 Whew, I'm out of breath, I ran up the stairs.
00:00:05.880 So, I just finished getting my hair cut.
00:00:08.860 Baby is doing well.
00:00:16.580 Hello, Classic Crew, and welcome to today's vlog.
00:00:20.820 I figured I would just get ready with you guys on camera and we could just chat while I did my makeup.
00:00:25.360 So I'm not planning on doing anything crazy.
00:00:27.060 I want to make myself look nice, but I don't want to look fancy.
00:00:32.400 So my in-laws are actually visiting for a few days.
00:00:36.960 I'm using the CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen with 30 SPF, and it's a sheer tint.
00:00:44.400 It's a little bit too dark for my skin tone, actually, but I like it because it doesn't give me a white cast. 0.67
00:00:50.540 And while I'm pregnant, I try not to use chemical sunscreens.
00:00:53.840 So, I use this sort of as like a base and a primer, and it, like I said, it is a little too dark for me, but it does even out my skin tone, which I appreciate.
00:01:03.540 And for any of you guys who thought that I had beautiful skin while I was pregnant, that is incorrect.
00:01:09.660 I have some pretty bad pregnancy acne.
00:01:12.800 It's not terrible.
00:01:14.280 It's pretty much located right here.
00:01:16.180 A lot of this is scarring, but I do have some active breakouts over there.
00:01:20.320 Uh, most of the rest of this is scarring.
00:01:22.660 This is scarring, uh, and this is going to, it's like right at the end of the process.
00:01:28.860 So, it's, you know, it's not like being pregnant gives you magical skin.
00:01:33.420 I've been told that first trimester you have bad skin, second trimester you have nice skin.
00:01:37.840 Well, I'm in the second trimester, early in the second trimester, and, uh, I still am working through it.
00:01:42.740 Although, it is clearing up, so, but if you also are struggling with bad skin right now, like, that's totally normal.
00:01:49.100 In any case, Jacob's parents are visiting tonight.
00:01:52.400 So, with that in mind, visiting for a few days, but they're coming in tonight, I wanted to put on a little bit of makeup just so I look nicer.
00:01:59.000 And also, I'm filming today.
00:02:01.100 So, whenever I'm filming, I like to put on just a little bit of makeup.
00:02:04.060 So, I'll kind of walk you through it, but also chat about, like, life.
00:02:09.880 So, today, I am officially 17 weeks pregnant.
00:02:14.560 I had an appointment yesterday, and it went really well.
00:02:18.880 It was not an ultrasound.
00:02:20.240 It was mostly just a checkup.
00:02:21.780 They, you know, checked my blood levels and stuff like that just to make sure everything was fine.
00:02:25.960 And thank God, everything looks good.
00:02:27.900 I got to hear the baby's heartbeat, 150 beats per minute.
00:02:31.120 So, right on target, doing well, and I scheduled our 21-week anatomy scan, which I'm excited about and a little bit nervous about.
00:02:40.260 It's exciting because you get to do this really long, involved ultrasound and see everything, but it also, you theoretically could see some abnormalities in the structure.
00:02:51.220 So, that's always a little bit nerve-wracking, but I'm not too worried.
00:02:54.100 I'm trusting in God and praying everything's going to be okay.
00:02:57.500 So, that was a really good appointment yesterday, and I'm really glad that everything is on track.
00:03:04.660 Before we get into the rest of my makeup, this is what baby looks like this week.
00:03:08.920 Well, baby! 1.00
00:03:10.520 And according to my app that I use, which is the Pregnancy Plus app, the baby is the size of a pomegranate.
00:03:16.640 And here's what's going on.
00:03:17.880 Your baby is busy growing bigger, and your baby's weight will increase about six-fold over the next months.
00:03:23.560 Your baby is practicing breathing with amniotic fluid, and its chest is moving in rhythm as if breathing air.
00:03:29.620 Your baby's hearing has now developed so that it can hear the sounds coming from outside the womb much clearer.
00:03:35.220 Your baby's immune system is busy preparing for life outside the womb.
00:03:39.540 Myelin, a protective coating of the nerves, is now being produced.
00:03:42.860 Your baby's umbilical cord is growing and continues to support your baby's growing needs.
00:03:48.040 So, that's where we're at with the pregnancy.
00:03:50.500 Baby is doing well.
00:03:52.320 Very happy.
00:03:53.700 So, I'm just going to be doing my foundation today.
00:03:57.020 Sometimes I just do concealer.
00:03:58.500 Other days I decide to do foundation.
00:04:00.020 Today I'm going to do foundation.
00:04:01.380 I'm using my CoverGirl True Blend Matte Made Foundation.
00:04:05.060 And I'm going to take a drop of my Neutrogena Hyaluronic Acid Glow Primer Plus Serum.
00:04:11.500 And I just put a drop of this in here.
00:04:13.560 I actually have been loving how this looks.
00:04:16.860 So, it doesn't mix that well on the hand initially.
00:04:19.740 Probably because oil and water doesn't really mix.
00:04:22.240 Whatever.
00:04:22.960 But it does look great on the skin.
00:04:24.760 So, I'm going to put some here.
00:04:27.600 And I'm going to blend it out using this guy.
00:04:30.700 If I look off to the side, it's because I'm looking in my mirror.
00:04:36.500 But, yeah.
00:04:37.260 Everything has been feeling pretty good as far as symptoms.
00:04:40.740 I mean, we just started week 17.
00:04:42.520 So, I really don't have any new symptoms quite yet.
00:04:45.700 Although, I will say since the last time I recorded, my energy has been coming back in the evenings.
00:04:50.600 And I'm not as hungry.
00:04:51.840 Which is nice.
00:04:53.700 I've noticed that I really actually don't need to eat nearly as much in the last few days.
00:04:59.180 Because I've been trying to go for daily walks and do exercise at home.
00:05:03.720 And then, I've been able to stay up a little bit later with Jacob.
00:05:06.640 Which he's been appreciating.
00:05:08.720 He, like I said, he's a night owl.
00:05:10.660 So, when I go to bed early, that's a little bit hard on him.
00:05:13.040 But he has been enjoying that I've been awake more.
00:05:17.760 So, yeah.
00:05:18.460 That's been what's going on with my symptoms.
00:05:21.860 But the plan today is going to be fun.
00:05:24.900 Because I am going to be taking you with me as I deep clean the house.
00:05:29.660 The house desperately needs a deep clean.
00:05:32.100 Like, it needs to have the floors cleaned.
00:05:34.920 I need to clean the bathrooms. 1.00
00:05:37.000 All that stuff.
00:05:38.520 And because my in-laws are coming, I figure that's a very good excuse for me to actually go ahead and do that.
00:05:44.380 So, I am going to be cleaning the bathrooms.
00:05:47.100 Cleaning the house.
00:05:48.020 Bringing you guys with me as I do it.
00:05:50.300 And then, I'm getting a haircut today.
00:05:52.320 So, I haven't had a haircut in about six months.
00:05:55.280 And I definitely need to get my ends trimmed.
00:05:59.260 I have some interesting texture in my hair, which I've talked about on my channel before.
00:06:04.180 Which is, I have wavy hair on the bottom and straighter hair on the top layer.
00:06:10.300 And I really want to get to a point where my whole head is just waves.
00:06:15.500 I would love if I could wear my hair naturally and just like the way it looked.
00:06:20.820 And then, you know, on fancier occasions, do a curl or straighten it or something.
00:06:25.900 But I really like my wavy hair on the bottom layer.
00:06:30.460 So, I'm going to get my hair cut today.
00:06:31.800 And I'm hoping I can ask them what cuts would make a better look for my natural texture.
00:06:40.160 Because I was thinking something a little bit more on the shaggy side. 0.90
00:06:43.320 Because I have very wavy hair on that bottom layer.
00:06:45.840 And if I really encourage it on the top layer, it sometimes comes out.
00:06:49.260 I think that could be really pretty.
00:06:51.520 So, that's what we're going to go for with that.
00:06:53.760 And then, Jacob and I are recording a podcast tonight.
00:06:56.380 So, if you didn't know, I have a podcast which is only available for premium subscribers of my sub stack.
00:07:02.520 And normally, it's just me.
00:07:04.680 But sometimes Jacob joins me.
00:07:06.400 And this week, we are going to be recording something for my premium subscribers.
00:07:10.520 Which is going to be a lot of fun.
00:07:11.900 And it's interesting because we've done a few videos on my channel.
00:07:17.160 Which we've obviously recorded together.
00:07:18.960 But it is different when you don't have to worry about the lighting.
00:07:22.220 You don't have to worry about how you look.
00:07:24.140 You can just sit and like talk to each other.
00:07:27.220 It's so much more casual.
00:07:28.980 And I'm really looking forward to doing that tonight.
00:07:33.080 That's going to be a lot of fun.
00:07:35.200 And then, we're just going to be waiting for his parents to get into town.
00:07:38.560 So, I'm going to make dinner.
00:07:39.960 And like I said, get the house ready.
00:07:42.540 So, that's the plan for today.
00:07:44.160 I'm excited to bring you guys along.
00:07:45.920 And it's always fun to have family in town.
00:07:47.740 We don't live near family.
00:07:49.120 So, whenever family comes close to us, we really like hosting them.
00:07:52.760 Jacob and I just love hosting generally.
00:07:54.340 It's like one of our favorite things.
00:07:55.520 We wish we could host more.
00:07:57.780 When we live in a more religious community, that's just like part of the culture.
00:08:01.880 Is you have people over for dinner.
00:08:03.980 That's just how things go.
00:08:05.900 So, I'm looking forward to that being more part of our lives when we are in a more religious community.
00:08:10.760 Oh, I forgot to mention, I started reading the book for our book club this month.
00:08:15.800 So, again, that's another premium Substack subscriber exclusive is you get to be part of the book club.
00:08:21.180 And this month, we're reading a book called Cheap Sex.
00:08:23.320 And it's all about kind of the change in our attitude towards sexual relations and how that's affecting relationships.
00:08:34.420 It was written by a sociologist, I believe.
00:08:36.520 And I'm actually really enjoying it.
00:08:39.500 It's fascinating.
00:08:40.520 I don't normally read on my Kindle.
00:08:42.520 Jacob had an old Kindle.
00:08:44.140 He replaced it.
00:08:45.060 And so, he gave me his first Kindle.
00:08:47.200 And I have a hard time reading on Kindle generally.
00:08:49.900 I'm not somebody who is kind of used to that as like a technology.
00:08:54.460 I prefer to read a book book.
00:08:56.200 But I want to get better about it because getting a Kindle copy of something is A, a lot less expensive.
00:09:02.640 And B, doesn't take up room in our house, which doesn't have that much storage.
00:09:06.140 So, I want to be better about reading on Kindle.
00:09:10.300 So, I ordered this adorable Kindle cover, which I shared on my Instagram stories.
00:09:15.880 So, I'll just probably share a picture right here.
00:09:17.780 And it's weird, but it actually makes me want to read my Kindle more because it's so cozy.
00:09:24.460 I'm a very aesthetic person.
00:09:27.360 Aesthetics mean like a lot to me.
00:09:29.300 And they make me want to invest in an activity more.
00:09:34.920 If something feels like it's pretty and nice and someone has taken time to think about the aesthetics, it means a lot to me.
00:09:43.000 Which is why the activity of home decor and decorating our house is something that I really, as you know, we get older.
00:09:51.740 And we have more funds to invest.
00:09:55.640 And also, we're living in a house that's our own.
00:09:57.680 So, I don't feel like I'm wasting my time putting in a ton of effort in a house that we're going to leave soon.
00:10:03.400 I really love that.
00:10:05.600 I used to want to be an interior decorator.
00:10:08.680 That was something I actually loved.
00:10:11.040 But then I switched over to fashion and then I switched over to opera.
00:10:15.340 So, it is interesting though because I really, it's something I almost think is a, I know men are interior decorators.
00:10:22.940 But they're, it's a feminine thing to want to make your house into a home. 1.00
00:10:27.780 There's a reason the term homemaker exists. 1.00
00:10:30.640 And so, I feel that.
00:10:32.260 I feel this feeling of, I want to make my house into a home.
00:10:35.920 For those of you who haven't heard me say this before, best eyelash curler I have ever owned, Shiseido.
00:10:42.320 It is more on the expensive side.
00:10:43.540 I think it's about $20.
00:10:44.580 But I will never get another eyelash curler.
00:10:47.780 This is the only one that does an amazing job, holds my lashes all day.
00:10:51.140 I love it.
00:10:52.080 Okay, everything that I talked about today or used will be linked in the description box below.
00:10:56.740 But now, let's get into cleaning the house.
00:10:59.940 We are going to start with one of the bathrooms. 0.60
00:11:02.700 This bathroom is generally used by my husband.
00:11:05.660 We have two bathrooms in the house and because there's only two of us, we use different bathrooms when we don't have guests here.
00:11:11.380 And then when we have guests here, I come up and use my husband's bathroom.
00:11:14.880 We have two stories.
00:11:15.640 So, the second bathroom is downstairs.
00:11:17.700 But I need to clean this bathroom.
00:11:19.380 I need to clean both bathrooms. 0.99
00:11:20.680 I feel like upset that I've let them get to this point.
00:11:24.600 So, today is the day.
00:11:26.880 I'm going to take my Mr. Clean sponges.
00:11:29.380 I'm going to take care of everything.
00:11:31.620 So, let's get into it.
00:11:54.600 So, the bathroom is all done.
00:12:15.040 I cleaned the bathtub.
00:12:17.420 I washed the sink.
00:12:18.520 I did clean the toilet, but I figured you didn't need to see that so I didn't show you.
00:12:22.920 And I washed and vacuumed the floors.
00:12:26.740 And, y'all, I hate these floors so much.
00:12:29.860 I don't know why anyone would choose a tile that looks like this.
00:12:32.560 It is truly hideous.
00:12:34.940 But, you know, I'm a renter and we do what we can.
00:12:38.980 We work with what we got.
00:12:40.200 But, yeah.
00:12:40.680 So, this is the bathroom.
00:12:42.100 And let's move on to another room.
00:12:43.760 And let's move on to another room.
00:13:13.760 And let's move on to another room.
00:13:43.760 So, the kitchen is clean.
00:13:46.000 You are hearing the dishwasher going.
00:13:48.180 I mopped the floors.
00:13:49.540 I vacuumed.
00:13:50.980 I need advice.
00:13:53.100 Because whenever I vacuum and then I mop, there's, like, more dust and crumbs after I mop.
00:14:00.160 And then I have to vacuum again.
00:14:01.380 Is that normal or is there something I should be doing?
00:14:04.500 Let me know.
00:14:05.380 But now we're going to move into the sunroom.
00:14:06.600 I'm really just going to be vacuuming and mopping in there.
00:14:10.000 And then we can go downstairs to the downstairs bathroom.
00:14:13.420 I am here.
00:14:14.420 Love you.
00:14:14.760 Thank you.
00:14:14.780 Thank you.
00:14:44.780 Okay, guys, so the bathroom is clean.
00:14:58.860 I reorganized my counter here.
00:15:02.500 I got everything I need, and I mopped the floors.
00:15:05.960 So I just finished doing all the major cleaning.
00:15:09.140 So I mopped and took care of the bathrooms and took care of the kitchen and took care
00:15:15.880 of the sunroom.
00:15:16.880 So everything is done.
00:15:19.240 That's going to be like the big projects.
00:15:20.740 The rest is tidying up and vacuuming.
00:15:23.160 I wanted to do all of the like sweaty, I'm out of breath, I ran up the stairs.
00:15:28.160 I wanted to do all the sweaty stuff before I got my hair done.
00:15:31.100 So I'm going to go get my hair done.
00:15:32.220 I'm going to go get a cut, and I will show you what it looks like.
00:15:35.260 And then we'll come back, finish up the tidying, and was there anything else on the docket?
00:15:40.160 I'm sure I told you, but I don't remember now.
00:15:42.360 So I will take you with me.
00:15:44.060 See you in a few.
00:15:44.880 So I just finished getting my hair cut, and I really like it.
00:15:48.980 I asked for a shag, and the hairdresser was like, sweetie, no.
00:15:54.300 But so I ended up with something that was like longer layers, that still had the shag feel, 1.00
00:16:01.200 but that didn't give me a mullet.
00:16:03.520 So yeah, no, I'm really happy with it.
00:16:05.380 I like when my curtain bangs are shorter.
00:16:08.120 I say that in like quotations because I prefer to have bangs that maybe are more like bangs,
00:16:16.060 like actual bangs, than curtain bangs.
00:16:17.800 But I think that they are curtain bangs, personally.
00:16:21.020 But I'm happy with how it looks.
00:16:22.820 So yeah, this is the haircut.
00:16:25.360 We're going to head home.
00:16:26.400 I am exhausted.
00:16:27.900 So whenever I get my hair cut, the sound of a blow dryer puts me to sleep like immediately.
00:16:36.100 Like the white noise of a blow dryer, of a plane, I'm just like out.
00:16:41.600 So I'm very tired.
00:16:43.380 I don't know if I'm going to make it on a walk today.
00:16:45.360 Maybe when Jacob gets home, we'll be able to go for a walk.
00:16:47.480 But if we don't, then I'm just going to clean the house.
00:16:51.100 And I honestly got such a workout in just like deep cleaning everything else.
00:16:55.260 So I'm definitely going to go ahead and tidy up.
00:16:59.320 And I also have to prepare dinner.
00:17:00.940 So Jacob and I just finished recording the podcast.
00:17:25.300 That'll be a fun one.
00:17:26.720 It'll be long, but it'll be fun.
