Hello friends and welcome to the last day of vlogica. We did it! It's eight days of Hanukkah.
00:00:33.580
It's so sad that this is the last day but it's been so fun sharing this with you guys and I'm
00:00:38.580
so excited to look back on these videos in a couple of years and be able to see everything
00:00:44.620
we did on Hanukkah in 2020. So this has been really a really cool experience and one that I
00:00:50.600
haven't done before so it's been cool. I woke up this morning and my phone was actually dead which
00:00:56.980
turned out to be a lovely thing. I just kind of didn't go on my phone first thing. I let my phone
00:01:01.620
sit away and charge and I took care of some dishes, cleaned up around the house, that kind of thing
00:01:08.160
and then I went to the Dollar Tree and I'm going to share my little Dollar Tree haul and then I went
00:01:14.960
to the gym which was great because if you've been watching the rest of my vlogs you'll know that the
00:01:19.940
last two times I tried to go to the gym I didn't actually make it there. So this day I did, today I
00:01:25.580
did which was very very nice. Now I'm all done up. I've got my hair done. I've got my makeup done. I've
00:01:31.100
got my clothes on. I'm all dressed. I look very nice and I feel very good. I actually have a girlfriend
00:01:36.480
here. So one of my friends works remotely. I work remotely. So we've kind of started this thing where
00:01:42.100
she'll come over a couple of times a week and we'll just work together which is super nice. It's our
00:01:46.260
version of a of a work pod I guess and it's just a really nice way for us to still have company while
00:01:51.920
we're working. So that's a nice thing and she's actually in the other room right now. But I thought
00:01:57.840
I would share with you guys my Dollar Tree haul. I love Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree is the best thing. You can
00:02:03.540
go do a haul and you've literally only spent $10. This whole haul is less than $10 and I got I think
00:02:10.920
10 things which is which is great. So I'm really excited to share with you guys what I found. Dollar
00:02:17.140
Tree is just so good. You can go in there's a bunch of different things. There's all of the different
00:02:21.360
categories that you might want. I love it. I am somebody who is a big proponent of if you can find
00:02:28.860
it at Dollar Tree why not use what you can find at Dollar Tree. So let's go through what I found.
00:02:35.260
So the first thing I'm going to show you are a couple packs of reusable gloves. So Jacob and I
00:02:40.800
like to use gloves when we're washing the dishes but because we have meat and dairy and we have to
00:02:45.660
keep them separate we have been but because we have meat and dairy and we need to wash those dishes
00:02:51.900
separately I wanted to get two different kinds of gloves two different colors. So these are pink.
00:02:57.360
These are yellow. Yellow will probably be dairy and pink will probably be meat. So this is just a
00:03:03.240
really good way for us to have gloves but have them separate for meat and dairy. I bought this pack
00:03:09.840
of pot holders. I got two which is cool but I have a couple of trivets which are the things that you
00:03:17.040
put pots on when you put them on the table or dishes or whatever. I needed a couple more. These are
00:03:22.300
only a dollar and I thought they were really cute and kind of classy. Next up I saw this pack of
00:03:28.900
claw clips for 12 for a dollar and I thought this was a really good deal. I need to pin up my hair
00:03:34.040
sometimes or pin back my bangs while I'm washing my face and I constantly am losing these things. So I
00:03:39.500
figured it would be a good way for me to have a bunch of them and not worry too much about it. Now I
00:03:44.500
have this weird thing. Tell me if you're like this. If I get a pack of things I don't like to open
00:03:49.760
them all up and immediately start using all of them. I like to take them out one at a time and
00:03:54.880
see if I can keep track of it for as long as possible before I lose it and then I grab another
00:04:00.080
one. I have this thing where I don't like to open all of them at once and then lose them all at once
00:04:05.400
and I tend to think if I only take out one at a time then I'll keep track of it longer. I don't
00:04:10.720
know if it's true but that's just kind of my the way I view it. So our candle lighter actually just
00:04:16.000
dyed and those can be actually like a little expensive. Not expensive but this was a dollar
00:04:22.080
so I figured I might as well get it for a dollar. I would like to get the one on Amazon that's
00:04:27.620
rechargeable. I've heard those are great and they're worth spending the money because you don't
00:04:31.260
have to ever replace it. So I'm thinking about doing that. If you guys have a rechargeable candle
00:04:36.320
lighter let me know what you think of it because I'm curious. I would like to try it but I don't have
00:04:42.000
one. Next up I got a cake server. We don't really have a nice one so I thought this would be a nice
00:04:48.220
thing to have. I also thought this was nicer than the one that we have when we have it's plastic and
00:04:52.060
kind of dinky looking. This one I thought looked actually really pretty. I just need to go tuvel it.
00:04:56.780
So what does that mean? That's a Jewish word. Tuvel means to dip. So basically what you do to make a
00:05:02.800
piece of silverware kosher is you have to dip it into a ritual bath, say a prayer over it, and then you can
00:05:10.580
use it and it can touch food and all of that. So I do need to do that before I can use it and then
00:05:15.300
I'll be able to you know add it to our collection. So I saw this and I thought it was super cute. As
00:05:20.540
you guys know I am constantly struggling with trying to find cute winter things that are not Christmas
00:05:26.060
things. So I saw this and I thought it was just kind of perfect. It's very wintry but clearly it's
00:05:31.240
not Christmassy and I thought this would be a cute way for us to store cookies if I make them
00:05:35.400
throughout the season. We're really only just starting winter now so I don't feel like oh I
00:05:40.780
bought this at the end of the season. No no no. We still have many more months of cold so I thought
00:05:45.520
this would be a good thing to keep out on the counter and for me to be able to make cookies and
00:05:49.180
stuff like that. Next up I bought this Hanukkah card. I thought this was cute and I thought this
00:05:53.960
would be nice to give to my in-laws. My husband's parents are actually coming to visit tomorrow or maybe
00:05:59.180
today. We don't know yet and I thought it would be nice to just give them a little card to
00:06:03.200
celebrate Hanukkah. And the last thing that I got is this. So we actually currently have a Hanukkah
00:06:09.380
thing on our door but Hanukkah is ending soon so I still want to have something on our door.
00:06:15.100
The wreaths, I have a wreath. I actually end up putting it next to our door because I can't hang
00:06:20.240
it on our front door since it's too close between the door and the storm door so it just smushes it
00:06:24.700
and then the storm door can't close. So I just put the wreath kind of next to it on the ground and I have
00:06:29.340
like these hanging signs are like I said our Hanukkah one I'm going to be taking down because
00:06:33.400
Hanukkah's ending but this was really cute and again it's not Christmassy but it is very wintry
00:06:38.040
so it says let it snow, sledding, build a snowman, snowball fight, drink hot cocoa, sit by the fire,
00:06:43.940
and winter wonderland. And I love all of these things and I think this is super cute. So that was my
00:06:49.860
Dollar Tree haul. I had a really good time just shopping around seeing what I could find for a dollar.
00:06:54.940
Now the next thing I wanted to share with you guys was something that's I'm I'm so excited about it.
00:07:00.220
So my grandmother who is still alive gifted me her china when my husband and I got married and we
00:07:06.300
were moving around a lot so we didn't have the opportunity to actually receive it for a few
00:07:11.280
years because we didn't want to move and then have to keep repacking china. So I just received some of
00:07:18.260
the china in the mail the first time because we're settling in Virginia we're settling here
00:07:23.280
and I'm really I'm so excited. So I'm going to show you what it is. This is my grandmother's china.
00:07:29.180
I honestly think it is the most stunning china ever like I am in love with this whole pattern.
00:07:35.700
It's got these beautiful kind of divots along the side and then it's gold with a light blue trim
00:07:43.040
and this beautiful gray rose. I love my grandmother's china and when I saw it I actually
00:07:49.920
got a little bit emotional because it's a real sign of where I'm at in my life and this is my family
00:07:58.800
heritage coming with me and that's really cool. So I'm so excited and I'm so excited to add it to
00:08:05.020
our kitchen. So now I need to edit today's vlog. I'm going to post it, do a little bit of work,
00:08:11.300
so Mimi was visiting me today and we were hanging out and also mostly working. Mostly not hanging out
00:08:31.740
actually. So thank you so much for coming over and hanging out with me. Yeah hi everyone. Yeah yeah so
00:08:39.380
this is my friend Mimi. She was actually friends with Jacob first. Yeah and then you and I became
00:08:45.080
like really really fast friends. Yeah. Which was lovely. I'm so glad you're in the area now. This
00:08:50.480
was one of the best things about moving to Virginia is that Mimi lives in the area so we can hang out
00:08:55.220
and because we both work remotely now it's like perfect because we can just actually have company.
00:09:01.160
Having Abby here has been seriously a saving grace. Working from home is not everything I thought it
00:09:05.760
would be. It's really lonely sometimes. It can be really lonely. So coming over here is the best
00:09:10.420
part of my week now. It's so nice to have company. This is something I think people should do more
00:09:15.840
often if you work remotely like have friends come over who also work remotely. Yeah. Yeah so yeah.
00:09:35.760
But this is something I think people should do as an amazing place.
00:09:51.600
So my parents-in-law are here, they lit the candles with us, they ended up showing up
00:10:17.020
a little bit earlier than they anticipated, which is super nice because now we can really
00:10:23.940
Thank you guys so much for spending Hanukkah with me.
