Classically Abby - How I SURVIVED Election Night! ｜｜ The Scoop #12

00:00:00.280 Hello, Classic Crew, and welcome to today's episode of The Scoop.

00:00:07.220 If you are new to my channel, The Scoop is our chance to just catch up, talk about what's

00:00:12.500 been going on over the course of the week, act like we're all grabbing a cup of coffee

00:00:16.360 together, and just kind of chat.

00:00:18.160 So I love doing this.

00:00:19.600 I do this once a week on my channel, and it's just a way for us to talk about current events

00:00:23.200 and also just what we've been up to.

00:00:25.300 So please leave in the comments what you guys have been up to, your thoughts on all the

00:00:28.740 things I'm talking about.

00:00:29.520 I love to hear those things, and I always read the comments.

00:00:32.380 So I've just got my handy-dandy water bottle today.

00:00:34.860 I don't have some coffee.

00:00:36.020 It's a little bit later in the afternoon, and I have been loving this.

00:00:38.940 I got it from Amazon, and it has all of the times listed on the side so you know how much

00:00:43.920 to drink over the course of the day and then refill.

00:00:46.340 So I'll link that below in case you guys are interested.

00:00:48.780 But grab a cup of coffee, tea, water, whatever it is you're into, and let's get into it.

00:00:53.380 So the first thing I want to talk about today is this purse.

00:00:57.140 I have been loving this purse, and I am so excited to let you guys know that Teddy Blake

00:01:02.280 is sponsoring this portion of today's video.

00:01:05.340 Teddy Blake makes beautiful leather handbags without the price of luxury leather handbags,

00:01:10.720 and they are stunning.

00:01:12.380 They reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in trying one of their purses,

00:01:15.700 and I was interested.

00:01:17.240 It's so beautiful, and I love it so much.

00:01:21.040 This, I decided to get a big purse.

00:01:23.060 I usually use a little purse, but I don't really have many big purses that I like, and

00:01:26.620 I thought this was just absolutely stunning.

00:01:29.840 I'm so happy that they sent it.

00:01:31.740 I have been loving it.

00:01:33.840 They also have great customer service.

00:01:36.040 One of the small pieces that came on this bag, it was this piece right here, actually

00:01:40.220 goes on the handle.

00:01:42.120 And this piece, a little piece of it fell off.

00:01:44.540 I reached out.

00:01:45.180 I said, is it possible that I can get this replaced?

00:01:47.460 Immediately they said, no problem, and they're sending me a replacement.

00:01:50.840 So that was also a huge vote in their favor.

00:01:53.300 Not only do they make beautiful leather handbags, they also have great customer service, which,

00:01:57.980 as you guys know, is super important.

00:02:00.480 They have a team of designers from well-known luxury brands, and they make a ton of bags in

00:02:05.620 a ton of different style choices.

00:02:06.920 If you don't see something you like right now, don't worry.

00:02:09.720 They come out with new bags every single month, so that's pretty cool.

00:02:13.540 All of the leather for their bags is made with real, luxurious Italian leather.

00:02:18.080 It's made in Italy, and it's made to last.

00:02:21.080 They are dyed and treated to withstand the test of time, and I can definitely feel that

00:02:25.080 with my purse.

00:02:26.060 My bag is so nice.

00:02:28.200 It feels so luxurious.

00:02:30.320 They use the same Italian factories as other luxury brands.

00:02:34.060 And each Teddy Blake bag is characterized by high-quality construction, attention to

00:02:38.880 detail, imaginative design, and shape and durability.

00:02:42.400 You can really see on their website they have some beautiful designs, and they come in all

00:02:45.820 different shapes and sizes, and they're also beautiful to hold in person.

00:02:50.420 I got mine.

00:02:51.240 It feels like a luxury piece.

00:02:52.860 All of their bags are made with all of the key characteristics that high-end luxury brands

00:02:57.560 use, but they remove the super high price tag that's just there because it's a label.

00:03:01.820 Now, I'm not saying that these bags are super inexpensive because they're not, but these

00:03:06.540 are the kinds of bags that are going to last you a lifetime, and they're also priced fairly

00:03:10.420 for what they are.

00:03:11.460 But Teddy Blake bags are really a wonderful addition to your closet, and you're not paying

00:03:14.980 the super, super high price tag just for a label.

00:03:18.340 What you're paying for is the quality of the leather and the quality of the construction

00:03:21.640 and the quality of the design.

00:03:23.280 So thank you so much to Teddy Blake for sponsoring this portion of today's video.

00:03:27.240 I'm going to link this in the description box below so that you guys can purchase your

00:03:31.180 Ariel and Teddy Blake bag.

00:03:32.600 So the next thing I want to talk about is the election.

00:03:36.220 Who else is super stressed out?

00:03:38.680 Who else has been having a hard time focusing?

00:03:41.560 Raise your hand.

00:03:42.660 And I know that this is a stressful time for many of us.

00:03:46.180 We're all just kind of waiting on the edge of our seats to see how things turn out.

00:03:49.600 But something that's been really helping me, and I've noticed a lot of people have been

00:03:52.520 writing, and I just love it, is that no matter what happens, God is there.

00:03:56.600 It's in God's plans.

00:03:57.700 We just have to trust in God.

00:03:59.120 Of course, we all have a mission and a role to play to make sure that good things continue

00:04:03.760 to happen.

00:04:04.580 But God is there to catch us.

00:04:06.620 So that is helpful.

00:04:08.520 But this has been a super stressful election.

00:04:11.300 I'm curious to know what you guys watched on election night.

00:04:14.520 My husband and I switched between Louder with Crowder and Daily Wire, and it was interesting

00:04:18.800 to see what everyone was saying.

00:04:20.140 Also, just to see what was going on.

00:04:22.520 There was a tweet that went around that said, put a gif to represent how you've been feeling

00:04:26.900 this election night, and I chose a cat going like this.

00:04:32.020 Because that's how I felt.

00:04:33.460 I was kind of looking at the different states, seeing, okay, where's this going?

00:04:37.220 Where's this going?

00:04:37.760 Oh, it's flipping.

00:04:38.380 Oh, it's flipping back.

00:04:39.200 And it's just been such a crazy few days.

00:04:42.160 Of course, the idea of Joe Biden winning is very scary.

00:04:45.400 But at the same time, as long as we can keep hold of the Senate, that should help.

00:04:50.340 And just, you know, having faith, believing in God, that is always helpful.

00:04:56.460 The craziest thing to me is that Google is working with the Associated Press.

00:04:59.580 So if you search election results 2020, the first thing that comes up is the map that the

00:05:03.700 Associated Press is putting out.

00:05:05.380 And during election night, if you watched, they would not call Florida for Trump, even

00:05:11.980 after it was clear that he had won it.

00:05:14.420 And then they immediately had already called all of the West Coast states for Biden, and

00:05:19.800 they literally had not even started counting votes yet.

00:05:23.160 And it's not to say that those states wouldn't go blue.

00:05:26.180 Seems like they would.

00:05:27.080 It makes sense.

00:05:28.000 But the idea that they were kind of pulling this game of, we don't want the scale of,

00:05:34.100 okay, Joe Biden has this many votes and Trump has this many votes.

00:05:37.080 It seemed like the Associated Press didn't want the scale to ever lean toward Trump at all.

00:05:41.940 They wanted it to really look like Biden was winning in a landslide.

00:05:45.160 That's what it seemed like to me.

00:05:46.920 I don't know, of course, how they were actually running it, but that's how it felt.

00:05:50.200 And it was a little bit funny, in my opinion.

00:05:52.660 What was interesting to note is that apparently the only group of people who have voted less

00:05:58.700 for Trump in this election than in the previous election is white males.

00:06:03.780 Everybody else from all diverse backgrounds voted more for Trump in this election.

00:06:09.520 And I just thought that was absolutely fascinating, given the fact that so many people have called

00:06:14.400 Trump a racist, while it seems that many different races do not feel that way.

00:06:19.500 So I guess we're still just going to have to wait and see what happens.

00:06:23.200 Just everybody take a deep breath together.

00:06:25.880 We'll get through it.

00:06:27.120 The next thing I want to talk about is my hair.

00:06:29.940 I don't know if you can tell, but my hair is much less done right now.

00:06:34.240 I wanted to try doing kind of a curly girl method day. 0.97

00:06:38.480 So I know that the curly girl method is something that many of you may have heard of.

00:06:42.180 It's the idea that you can really moisturize your hair and it'll bring out your natural

00:06:47.360 curls and waves.

00:06:48.380 I have naturally wavy hair underneath and I wanted to get the curl and the wave back onto

00:06:53.600 the top layer of my hair.

00:06:54.620 So I put in a heavy conditioner.

00:06:56.220 I really cleaned my hair with a good shampoo and then I went in with some curl holding

00:07:02.480 products and then I diffused my hair and this is where we're at.

00:07:06.480 I think it's kind of cute, but I have to say I tend to like a more polished look.

00:07:11.900 So even though I really like the idea of wavy hair, I love it.

00:07:16.160 I don't know that I'm 100% comfortable with it yet.

00:07:18.960 Let me know in the comments what you guys think.

00:07:20.980 I don't know how I feel and I'd really be curious to know how you guys feel about it.

00:07:26.720 If you've done the curly girl method, let me know in the comments if you have any tips

00:07:29.660 or tricks.

00:07:30.320 I know you're not supposed to do heat on your hair.

00:07:33.220 I'm not doing this full-blown thing where I'm like really trying to get my curls back,

00:07:38.500 but I'm kind of doing it in a more loosey-goosey way.

00:07:41.600 Okay, there's a day where I want to have more curls.

00:07:43.720 Okay, I'm going to diffuse my hair and I'm going to use a few more moisturizing curl holding

00:07:47.920 products.

00:07:48.460 But again, let me know in the comments your thoughts.

00:07:51.200 Next up, I want to talk about my current breakfast routine.

00:07:55.220 As you guys might know if you follow me on Instagram, I love breakfast brunch.

00:07:59.560 I just, it's my favorite meal.

00:08:00.840 I can have the same thing for it every day and I am perfectly happy.

00:08:04.520 So I have been doing whole wheat toast with one egg, some soy bacon or soy breakfast links,

00:08:11.140 and some strawberries.

00:08:12.740 Sometimes I'll have some butternut squash soup, which you can get just at Trader Joe's or something

00:08:17.540 like that.

00:08:18.440 And it's just delicious.

00:08:20.020 I love it.

00:08:20.980 So I've also been making pumpkin spice lattes at home.

00:08:24.760 I love it.

00:08:26.600 It's so delicious.

00:08:28.300 I have been loving making them.

00:08:30.240 I make mine with oat milk because I can be lactose intolerant.

00:08:34.020 I'm not always, but most of the time I am.

00:08:36.580 And so I usually just have oat milk at home just because it's easier on my stomach, but

00:08:41.420 it is delicious.

00:08:42.800 And I have been loving having that as kind of the morning, the earlier morning part of

00:08:47.940 my routine.

00:08:48.460 And then I have like a brunch and early lunch.

00:08:51.200 That's kind of been what I've been doing.

00:08:53.740 But I also wanted to talk about Rubbermaid Freshworks containers.

00:08:58.900 Life changing.

00:09:00.060 If you are somebody who likes berries or if you are somebody who has vegetables that go

00:09:04.860 bad really quickly, these Rubbermaid Freshworks containers are a game changer.

00:09:09.940 They're a little bit expensive, but oh my gosh, do they make a difference.

00:09:13.000 And I think they actually do save you money because you don't throw out as many fruit and

00:09:16.200 vegetables since they don't go bad as quickly.

00:09:18.980 You can have, I'm not kidding, I had strawberries in one of those containers for a full two weeks.

00:09:24.680 Who has ever been able to do that?

00:09:26.920 Normally my strawberries go bad in max six days.

00:09:30.320 Like I can't even get it to there usually.

00:09:33.020 So these things are so good.

00:09:34.560 I will link them in the description box if you're somebody who's interested in them because

00:09:37.920 I'm obsessed.

00:09:39.300 So great.

00:09:40.100 The next thing I wanted to talk about is how Halloween ended and now it's Christmas.

00:09:45.900 Is that, is that what everybody does normally or am I just kind of realizing it for the first

00:09:51.040 time or is it this year because people are just like, we gotta get to the end of 2020.

00:09:56.340 We have to have something to get us through.

00:09:59.160 I feel like normally we have a little break between October 31st and Christmas, but this

00:10:05.020 year it seems like it's just Christmas, little blip for Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

00:10:09.020 I am somebody who loves Thanksgiving, so I don't like to go to Christmas too early, although

00:10:14.940 I will listen to Christmas music early.

00:10:16.980 So who knows?

00:10:18.720 I feel like I understand this though.

00:10:20.960 There's this idea and feeling from everybody because of quarantine, because of COVID-19 of

00:10:26.160 like, I just need something to make me happy.

00:10:28.580 And the Christmas spirit is the best.

00:10:31.160 And I feel like that was the same way with fall this year where all of these seasonal stuff

00:10:36.040 we've been kind of pushing earlier because we just want to embrace the things that make

00:10:40.400 us happy.

00:10:41.520 And if that means making it a little bit too long, then it's okay.

00:10:46.160 So I know that I took on fall a little bit early this year and I'm sure in a couple of

00:10:51.340 weeks I'll be really feeling the Christmas spirit.

00:10:54.520 I have to say, I do love it.

00:10:56.080 I do love the Christmas spirit.

00:10:57.460 I know I'm Jewish.

00:10:58.620 I have a whole blog post that I wrote about this last year, so I can link that in the description

00:11:02.580 below, but basically I talked about why Christmas is something that I can love even though I'm

00:11:07.800 Jewish.

00:11:08.300 It's not that I want to celebrate it as my holiday, but I'm cheering everybody on who

00:11:13.340 is enjoying it.

00:11:14.180 And everyone is so happy during Christmas time and so festive and I just, it's a wonderful

00:11:18.840 thing.

00:11:19.320 And the values of it are just absolutely lovely.

00:11:21.980 So I totally respect Christmas.

00:11:24.500 I love it.

00:11:25.020 I cheer you guys on from the sidelines and I listen to Christmas music, which is the best.

00:11:29.320 I mean, it's just the best.

00:11:30.560 Last but not least, I want to talk about something I have been documenting over on my Instagram.

00:11:35.720 Make sure to follow me over on my Instagram.

00:11:37.980 It's classicallyabby.

00:11:39.460 And on my Instagram, I have been sharing the story of the cat that has now become a part

00:11:45.020 of my life.

00:11:45.660 There is a cat that is just the neighborhood cat and I have seen it on our patio every day.

00:11:51.040 It just sits on our patio furniture.

00:11:52.900 I went down, I petted it.

00:11:54.060 It has a little collar with a bell, so I'm pretty sure it belongs to someone, but it's just

00:11:58.400 a nice little companion and I like to go downstairs and pet her.

00:12:02.780 My mom came up with the idea that this cat is called Classically Tabby and I'm going to

00:12:08.680 just say, I think Classically Tabby is the mascot for the classic crew.

00:12:13.380 So let me know what you think of Classically Tabby.

00:12:17.120 She is so cute.

00:12:17.980 I will put a picture right here so you guys can see.

00:12:20.600 I have been obsessed, really enjoying it.

00:12:23.940 Should I get a cat?

00:12:25.040 I want a cat, but my husband and I both have some allergies.

00:12:28.820 This is the issue.

00:12:29.660 People always say adopt, don't shop, and I totally get that. 1.00

00:12:32.320 I totally respect it.

00:12:33.580 But for people like us who do struggle with allergies, I don't know exactly how to go about

00:12:37.700 that because you don't know the breed of so many cats, of so many dogs.

00:12:42.040 And obviously we can't have an animal in the house that we are both suffering with allergies

00:12:46.680 all the time.

00:12:47.320 So if you guys actually have recommendations on that, I'd love to hear those.

00:12:51.320 And that's it for today's video.

00:12:53.420 Whew! 0.99

00:12:53.980 That was a lot.

00:12:55.440 I don't know why I was in a talkative mood.

00:12:57.760 I wanted to chat, but we did it.

00:13:02.060 I don't know, guys.

00:13:03.100 This is where I'm at today.
