00:00:00.560
well hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where I'm going to be
00:00:30.000
so I thought that I would start here which is a sort of a different view of my
00:00:42.440
background but it's just the same background you see in all of my videos
00:00:45.880
and I thought I would give you guys a little bit of an explanation for a lot
00:00:50.240
of the things that are back here where I got them what they mean to me if
00:00:53.760
they're just decor or if they have some special meaning to me and so I thought I
00:00:57.700
would start here just because this is what you guys see and are familiar with
00:01:00.460
so first off these plants I got from either TJ Maxx or Burlington Coat Factory
00:01:06.580
I don't want to have real live plants in the backgrounds of my videos just
00:01:10.240
because that's a lot of pressure if something gets away from me then all of
00:01:13.540
a sudden my background is a problem having fake plants just works well for
00:01:17.800
this kind of thing I would at some point in my life like to do gardening I would
00:01:22.120
really really love to do it I did it as a kid but I have this weird thing that like
00:01:25.780
I don't want to plant a garden that I'm gonna have to leave and because we're
00:01:29.740
renters I don't feel comfortable really putting in a ton of effort into a garden
00:01:35.340
that I'm just going to have to inevitably leave behind but at some point in my
00:01:39.040
life I want to do that and I'll probably be asking you guys for a lot of advice
00:01:42.760
when I do start next up this candle I also got from TJ Maxx I just love the scent I
00:01:50.280
smelled this and I loved it but I also love the way it looks it's so pretty and
00:01:55.280
feminine and so I like having it in the background of my videos but at some
00:01:58.660
point maybe when I switch up my background for fall I'll use a different
00:02:03.060
candle here so that I can actually burn this one because I really like the
00:02:06.240
smell of it next up let's talk about the books that I have in here so I'm gonna
00:02:09.800
pretty much ignore these ones just because they're not really in my videos
00:02:12.760
and they're just tour books so it's not really that interesting but these books I
00:02:16.800
chose because I like the way they looked and they all have meaning to me so
00:02:19.800
Mozart on the stage I love Mozart this is a really cool book that I haven't had
00:02:24.300
the opportunity to finish so I'm excited to actually go ahead and read this whole
00:02:27.780
thing but you know Mozart's amazing and it's very much on theme on brand for
00:02:33.420
classically Abbey so I like having that back here I also have my tonal harmony
00:02:37.760
book which is a great book if you want to learn music theory and I want to go back
00:02:41.460
and review some of the things that I learned in school because I just find it
00:02:44.580
really fascinating so that's back here this was actually a gift from one of my
00:02:49.200
husband's groomsmen for our wedding and it's a book of kitchen gardening with a
00:02:53.700
bunch of seeds so I've kept these because I would really like to plant them when we
00:02:58.080
do have that forever home or at least more of a permanent home so this is
00:03:03.660
something I've had in the background of my videos and I just love it and I
00:03:06.060
actually just kept it exactly how it was given to us with the ribbon and
00:03:09.180
everything and it means a lot so I like having that here next up I have this book
00:03:13.400
which is called the Parisian chic look book I love this book it's really fun to
00:03:17.900
read and it's just a lot of pictures which I really like not that I agree
00:03:21.920
with every single outfit but it does give me some inspiration on the days where I
00:03:25.400
don't feel like I have enough and it's just a fun really cool looking book too I
00:03:29.840
really like the cover I also have just a few notebooks in here that I've used
00:03:34.640
throughout the years they're kind of like my journals and at some point I like
00:03:37.800
the idea that I have them so 10 years from now I can look back on certain years and
00:03:41.880
think oh this is what I did then this is what I did then and that's kind of fun I
00:03:45.120
bought this book when I was younger called 50 things every young lady should
00:03:48.600
know and it's very cute and informative for young women so I really like it I
00:03:52.200
really like the way it looks and I like what it talks about it's pretty nice next
00:03:56.940
up I have stuff every bride should know which I bought before our wedding and I
00:04:01.500
love this book it's so cute it's just petite and it has so much good
00:04:05.700
information in it plus it made me feel really excited about being a bride so I
00:04:09.300
really like this one and I also like the way that the binding looks in my
00:04:12.660
bookcase last but not least of the books because everything else in here is
00:04:16.300
notebooks I have East of Eden which I did review on my channel I love this book
00:04:20.540
loved it loved it loved it highly recommend it you should definitely read
00:04:24.240
it if you haven't on I'll link the review up above here but this is a great
00:04:27.720
book and I like having it in the background in my videos because it's
00:04:30.360
something I talked about in a video as far as the wall hangings the lights I
00:04:34.320
actually got on Amazon I'll try and find something similar because I got them a
00:04:37.420
a while ago I actually bought these lights when I moved to New York the very
00:04:41.200
first time and they turned out to be a really good purchase because I've used
00:04:44.080
them in every single one of my videos maybe not the very very first one besides
00:04:48.280
that they've always been a part of my channel and then the wallflower hangings
00:04:53.080
those are from TJ Maxx or Burlington Coat Factory I can't remember which one but I
00:04:57.820
just really like the way they looked I thought they were very pretty they added
00:05:00.100
some dimension to the background of my videos so now talking about this side of my
00:05:04.920
videos I have all of my perfumes here which I get a ton of questions about
00:05:09.720
people are always asking me what are the perfumes that you have in the
00:05:12.920
background of your videos and I have been collecting these perfumes for a long
00:05:16.500
time most of them are not very expensive one of them is from Target it's called
00:05:21.420
Silver Coast let me grab it it looks like this and it has a it smells a little bit
00:05:27.200
more masculine but I like that for the winter and it also kind of has this beachy
00:05:33.080
scent sort of and I really like the way that this smells and again I think it's
00:05:37.400
really nice for winter time I also just think it's a very sleek looking bottle
00:05:40.740
which is why I like it in the background next up I have this black fleece perfume
00:05:45.200
by Brooks Brothers and this also smells really nice I really like the scent of it
00:05:50.900
it's very unique and I really can't describe it I'm not very good with scents and
00:05:54.380
describing them but I would say this is more of a fall winter scent as well this is
00:05:58.880
the newest addition to my collection this is silhouette by Christian Siriano and
00:06:03.860
I love this perfume it's so feminine and it's a little bit more sweet than a lot of
00:06:09.680
the perfumes that I wear my skin reacts with perfumes very often and brings out
00:06:14.480
the sweet undertone and makes it kind of hard to smell it doesn't smell very good
00:06:19.000
but this one for some reason and this is why I bought it is sweet but it doesn't
00:06:23.480
smell bad on me and I'm very very happy about that so I bought this and this one is
00:06:27.860
more year-round I wear this pretty much all the time and it's not very seasonal
00:06:32.720
so I like that I can wear this whenever I want to next up I have this Toca
00:06:36.080
perfume in Simone I love this it's so summery to me it's summer in a perfume
00:06:43.340
and it's just it's so citrusy and I love the way it smells so I love the bottle
00:06:49.220
too it's gorgeous and I'm very very happy because this is like my summer scent
00:06:53.660
every time summer comes around this is what I'm wearing last but not least I have
00:06:57.740
this which is Le de Coco I don't even know where this is from but I got this a
00:07:02.540
very long time ago when I was living in New York and it smells just like coconuts
00:07:06.680
I love the smell of coconuts so this is also a good summer scent but I really
00:07:12.020
really like it and it's a it's a very straightforward bottle but I like the
00:07:16.100
different heights and patterns in my bottles of perfumes because I think they
00:07:20.300
add some pretty dimension to my background lastly I have this candle which was given
00:07:24.380
to me for my wedding by a very good friend from Manhattan School of Music
00:07:27.560
and it says hers and my husband she also gave a candle and his says his and mine
00:07:32.620
has very flowery scent and his is more masculine so I really liked this for the
00:07:37.220
background of my videos because this is my space it's hers and I also just think
00:07:41.600
it's very pretty and again I would like this more often but it's generally in the
00:07:45.860
background so I like being able to smell it anyway the boxes on this side of my
00:07:50.480
background were actually given to me by that same friend and I don't think she
00:07:54.320
knew that I was going to use them in the backgrounds of my videos that this was
00:07:56.540
going to become a very important part of my YouTube channel but it is and I
00:08:01.820
love the patterns on them and they also store some things for me like mail and
00:08:06.320
some thank-you notes and things like that so I use them and they're also very
00:08:10.760
pretty for my background and last but not least are my fashion drawings that are on
00:08:14.780
the wall here those are from Amazon and my husband actually bought them for me
00:08:18.760
because I had said oh I think these are really pretty I think they would go well
00:08:21.460
with my background but I can't justify paying for it and he said you should do
00:08:25.000
it he just bought it and didn't even ask me which was really nice because they've
00:08:29.020
made a huge difference to my background so that is the story of everything in my
00:08:33.340
background now let's move on to the other parts of my studio well welcome to my
00:08:38.200
vanity this is where I do what my makeup sometimes I do my work here sometimes I
00:08:43.320
just sit where I film and do my work there but this is my vanity and this
00:08:47.800
vanity actually belonged to my husband before we got married and he was using
00:08:51.920
it as a desk and I pointed out to him I think this might be a vanity because
00:08:56.020
there's a lot of drawers for makeup and stuff and he was like oh my gosh that
00:08:59.860
makes so much more sense than what I was using it for so I love this vanity it is
00:09:04.880
so beautiful and it really does have like amazing storage for all of my makeup this
00:09:09.880
is the only place I store makeup I have nowhere else so clearly it holds enough that I
00:09:13.960
don't need a bunch of storage space I got this mirror from Bed Bath & Beyond and it
00:09:19.600
does have different light settings but the fact is I don't really use them
00:09:22.060
because they're not strong enough to make a huge difference but I enjoy having a
00:09:25.780
mirror there anyway that's very important these are my brushes I have two
00:09:29.920
little mugs filled with brushes these are all clean right now I haven't used these
00:09:35.020
in a while and then these are all dirty so I'm probably going to switch between them
00:09:38.980
this one is probably going to get cleaned and then I'll switch to those up here you can see
00:09:42.880
many of the products that I use I use setting sprays I use my foundations are
00:09:47.380
up there and I also have a brush cleaner as well as a couple of makeup sponges
00:09:52.840
and I have a little fan that I use for after doing setting spray so I can just
00:09:56.440
kind of do that I moved over to this side so you guys could see my calendar
00:10:02.560
which I just bought and I've been using that as my content calendar which is very
00:10:05.800
very useful you can also see my music stand is over there it's stored in the
00:10:09.460
corner over there away from my actual filming space and then I also have a
00:10:13.780
picture of me and my husband a little coaster for my coffee or tea and lantern
00:10:19.660
that I got way back when in my masters to decorate my dorm room and back to the
00:10:25.720
middle here I have my pens a couple of notebooks that I use for notes when I'm
00:10:29.440
planning my content as well as my phone which is just everywhere right we all need
00:10:35.140
our phones so that's where this is so normally when I am working here I have
00:10:39.640
these windows open which is really nice it gives me a lot of peace and I love
00:10:43.920
natural light so having those open is one of my favorite places to sit is right
00:10:48.640
here because I get all that natural light and I'm facing a window so now we are
00:10:52.780
opposite the side of the room that I usually film in and we have another
00:10:56.640
window which is great because the light is facing me when I'm filming I also have
00:11:01.380
my piano behind me which I use to learn my music and also sometimes I like to
00:11:05.800
practice piano although I'm not good so I don't want anyone thinking that I
00:11:09.500
actually play well I do not but I do sometimes practice because I find that
00:11:13.900
it's calming I also have a couple of pieces of artwork on here artwork because
00:11:19.480
one of them is my own pieces so I don't know if you would call it art but but the
00:11:23.340
first piece is this one which was given to me by a friend who was in madama
00:11:27.820
butterfly with me she illustrated this and I think it's so pretty I love it so I
00:11:32.320
love having it in the background when I'm practicing it's really nice and then
00:11:36.500
this is a drawing I did actually I believe I did this at the beginning of
00:11:39.640
quarantine of my wedding gown and I just think it's really pretty and I like
00:11:44.620
looking at it it makes me happy so putting that on my piano is another nice
00:11:48.220
thing that I like to do and then in the back over there is a standing mirror
00:11:51.940
that is also my jewelry cabinet so inside there is all of my jewelry I
00:11:56.500
absolutely love my jewelry cabinet getting my jewelry cabinet was a very
00:12:00.220
exciting thing for me because I had always said when I got married when I
00:12:03.640
had my first home I really wanted to have a place where I could display all of
00:12:07.480
my jewelry so that I could actually see what I had and wear it more often and I
00:12:11.500
have found that since having this I do wear more jewelry more often I do mix it up
00:12:16.360
more frequently because I actually know what I own so I really am happy with it and
00:12:21.160
it's a mirror which is very nice okay guys so we are in the very last corner of the
00:12:25.620
room and this is where I keep all of my hair stuff so I've got my headbands my
00:12:29.520
hair tools my hair sprays and I've been using tins that I saved from other things
00:12:34.800
to put my scrunchies in or any other kind of hair stuff that I need so bobby pins or
00:12:41.700
whatever and all of that is stored right in this thing I love this I love the way
00:12:45.780
it's angled so stuff can kind of be easy for me to grab and I really appreciate that
00:12:50.520
and it's right next to my piano here plus I have a few pieces of art scattered
00:12:55.560
here and there around the room and I actually used to have this in the
00:12:58.440
background of my videos but I moved it over to this corner and I love it here I
00:13:02.340
think it's really pretty and it does exactly what I would like it to do but
00:13:05.400
that's everything that's the studio and I had a really good time showing you guys
00:13:08.640
around showing you my little space that feels very feminine and very much my own
00:13:13.740
and I really love that so I'd love to hear what your guys's office space is like or if you just even have a desk how do you
00:13:20.220
decorate it to make it feel like your own little space I'd love to hear in the
00:13:23.580
