Hello, classic crew, and welcome to today's episode of The Scoop.
00:00:07.160
If you are new to my channel, The Scoop is our opportunity to catch up, go over what
00:00:12.680
went on over the course of the week, chat about what's been going on with all of us.
00:00:16.440
I love reading what you guys have been up to over the course of the week, so make sure
00:00:22.560
If you are new here, I talk about commentary, lifestyle, beauty, and fashion, and opera
00:00:29.300
all from a classic and conservative perspective, and I would love to have you join us.
00:00:34.560
So grab a cup of coffee or water or tea or whatever else it is you might be drinking, and
00:00:39.900
So the first thing that I want to talk about that I keep forgetting to talk about in my
00:00:46.200
So if you've been watching my channel for a little while, you probably have noticed that
00:00:49.880
I have changed up my background, and it was a very funny story.
00:00:54.820
So when we first moved into this house, I had an idea of how I wanted to set things up
00:00:59.080
in my office, and it was set up that way for quite a bit.
00:01:01.940
I was pretty happy with it, but just like in my old house, I realized that if I didn't
00:01:07.260
set things up in a certain way, the room felt super crowded because I have a lot of equipment
00:01:12.020
for my channel to make sure that the lighting looks good, to make sure that the mic quality
00:01:16.240
is good, to make sure that the camera quality looks good.
00:01:19.100
All of that stuff takes up a lot of room, so setting up the room in a bad way means that
00:01:27.020
So initially, I had the room set up in a certain way, and it just was very hard to get to certain
00:01:33.560
I would have to squeeze through and try to avoid wires and things like that, and it just
00:01:38.980
And I had this idea of, I think I want to change things.
00:01:42.480
I woke up in the morning with like a vision of what it needed to be.
00:01:47.520
And the idea was, if I moved the place that I filmed into the corner of my room and had
00:01:53.760
everything pointing there, then I would have a lot more room in the space.
00:02:00.800
I now have so much more room in here, which is amazing.
00:02:08.660
And then when I film, I just kind of pop over to this side of the room and I film.
00:02:11.980
I've got my clothing rack over off to the left here.
00:02:14.440
It's not in the background of my videos anymore, which I think is better.
00:02:17.620
I think people weren't a huge fan of the way that looked.
00:02:22.040
I've been trying to figure out what to do with my little perfume cabinet since I got
00:02:26.840
it at a thrift store, and now I have a place for it in the background of my videos, which
00:02:31.700
And I just think that this looks a lot better, feels a lot better.
00:02:37.860
Let me know in the comments below, do you guys like the way this looks?
00:02:43.340
The next thing I wanted to talk about is that we hosted this past weekend.
00:02:48.820
They brought their two children, and it was absolutely lovely.
00:02:54.200
Everybody was tested beforehand, so please don't get worried about that in the comments.
00:02:57.820
I'd really love to not have that conversation once and for all.
00:03:01.240
But we did have some people over, and it was really interesting because I had to try
00:03:04.600
and figure out what could we do with the kids during COVID when nothing is really open
00:03:09.120
and things aren't totally available, and it's cold outside.
00:03:14.840
And I came up with a really nice day, and it ended up being really fun.
00:03:18.020
So I thought I would share this with you guys in case you are going to be seeing any kids
00:03:23.160
Or if you have kids, I'm sure you guys have come up with a thousand and one activities
00:03:29.500
So this isn't to say that you don't know already.
00:03:33.860
But for those of us who don't have kids yet but are still seeing kids and you want to
00:03:38.520
have a good time with them when they're over, this is what we did.
00:03:41.500
So I went to the store, and I got stuff to make cupcakes.
00:03:45.120
I made cupcakes with the two little girls, which they really liked doing.
00:03:50.120
But the second part, both of them loved, which was decorating the cupcakes.
00:03:53.960
So I got some sprinkles, and I made some frosting, and I allowed them to just go to town.
00:04:04.380
They could choose whichever sprinkles they wanted to do.
00:04:07.280
And they had such a great time with it, and it was a really fun experience.
00:04:10.360
And then the other thing we did with the kids was I actually braided challah with them.
00:04:13.860
So challah is a Jewish kind of bread, and we usually make it for Sabbath.
00:04:18.380
And so what I did was I prepared the dough in advance using our bread maker, and then I split
00:04:22.620
it into four parts so that I could make a challah to demonstrate.
00:04:26.200
Their mom could make a challah, and the two of them could make challahs.
00:04:29.060
And then each one of us got to split it into three parts, and I taught them how to braid
00:04:33.380
And it was a cool thing for them because after we baked it, they could see what they had
00:04:37.740
Even though they didn't actually make the bread, they got to make the challah.
00:04:41.660
They got to braid it, and that was a lot of fun.
00:04:43.920
We also watched one of my absolute favorite movies, which is called The Court Jester.
00:04:58.100
And we all had such a good time watching that together.
00:05:04.760
It's Angela Lansbury, Danny K, and it's super appropriate for kids and just a ton of fun.
00:05:11.680
So if you're looking for a movie that maybe an eight-year-old or a six-year-old could watch
00:05:16.780
and the parents will love to, this would be a perfect film for that.
00:05:21.000
The next thing I wanted to talk about is something that's kind of funny, which is The Bachelor.
00:05:25.060
I don't know if any of you guys watch The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.
00:05:30.900
It just—it doesn't make me feel good watching people's drama play out on TV.
00:05:37.160
I can watch a movie or a TV show that's scripted because those are people playing characters,
00:05:43.420
but watching real people go through such a fake process when nobody can figure out enough
00:05:51.380
about somebody in that short amount of time and you're all competing for the same man or
00:05:58.760
So if you're somebody who watches The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, let us know in the comments
00:06:03.560
below what you like about it because I'm curious.
00:06:09.120
I watched Love is Blind just because I was writing an article on it for a website and I—it
00:06:18.340
Like, I wanted to see what was going to happen next, but I also felt bad that I was interested
00:06:24.020
at all because these are people's lives and it just felt wrong.
00:06:28.580
Let me know in the comments your guys' thoughts.
00:06:31.380
The last thing I want to talk about today is that it is the March for Life today, which
00:06:37.660
It is a ton of people getting together to celebrate being pro-life and to talk about how important
00:06:44.560
it is for us to be pro-life and to fight for the rights of the unborn.
00:06:54.340
This is something I believe in so passionately and it's something that I will always fight
00:06:59.800
It's something I believe we have a responsibility to fight for because the unborn cannot fight
00:07:05.520
So I think it's incredible that there are so many people who participate in the March
00:07:10.440
for Life and who are fighting for those unborn children, and if you are interested in learning
00:07:21.200
I didn't have too much going on this past week, so I didn't have too much to talk about,
00:07:25.420
but I would love to hear what you guys are up to.
