00:00:00.240 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
00:00:19.560 to leave that in the comments below.
00:00:21.100 I'd love it if you would subscribe.
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
00:00:38.920 let's get into it.
00:00:39.900 So the first thing that I want to talk about that I keep forgetting to talk about in my
00:00:43.760 videos is my new background.
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
00:01:24.740 it will feel really tight in here.
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
00:01:32.600 places in the room.
00:01:33.560 I would have to squeeze through and try to avoid wires and things like that, and it just
00:01:38.140 wasn't working.
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.
00:01:58.020 Oh my gosh, it was a game changer.
00:02:00.800 I now have so much more room in here, which is amazing.
00:02:04.620 I can work at my vanity.
00:02:06.100 I can do my makeup there.
00:02:07.480 I can also do my work there.
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.
00:02:20.580 I do prefer this.
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
00:02:30.020 makes me super happy.
00:02:31.700 And I just think that this looks a lot better, feels a lot better.
00:02:35.320 So that is the story of my new background.
00:02:37.860 Let me know in the comments below, do you guys like the way this looks?
00:02:40.620 Because I am so happy with it.
00:02:43.340 The next thing I wanted to talk about is that we hosted this past weekend.
00:02:46.420 We actually had a couple of guests stay over.
00:02:48.820 They brought their two children, and it was absolutely lovely.
00:02:52.500 Yes, we were very careful about COVID.
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.
00:03:12.280 So I had to come up with a plan.
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
00:03:22.320 in your future.
00:03:23.160 Or if you have kids, I'm sure you guys have come up with a thousand and one activities
00:03:28.560 to do with your children.
00:03:29.500 So this isn't to say that you don't know already.
00:03:32.680 I'm sure you do.
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.
00:03:48.540 The older one more than the younger one.
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.
00:03:59.860 They could apply it however they wanted.
00:04:01.860 They could spread it over the cupcakes.
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
00:04:32.880 it.
00:04:33.380 And it was a cool thing for them because after we baked it, they could see what they had
00:04:37.180 made.
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.
00:04:50.360 I don't know if you've seen it.
00:04:51.320 It's with Danny K. Danny K, guys.
00:04:54.220 He is the best.
00:04:55.240 I love him so much.
00:04:56.420 He is my childhood.
00:04:58.100 And we all had such a good time watching that together.
00:05:00.700 The Court Jester is such a great movie.
00:05:03.160 It was made in the 1950s.
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.
00:05:28.860 I can't bring myself to watch it.
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
00:05:56.040 the same woman.
00:05:56.700 I just don't totally get it.
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.
00:06:07.080 I don't—I don't really understand.
00:06:09.120 I watched Love is Blind just because I was writing an article on it for a website and I—it
00:06:16.520 was addictive in a way I didn't like.
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
00:06:36.140 is amazing.
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.
00:06:49.080 As you guys know, I am incredibly pro-life.
00:06:51.920 I have done a few videos on this topic.
00:06:54.340 This is something I believe in so passionately and it's something that I will always fight
00:06:59.240 for.
00:06:59.800 It's something I believe we have a responsibility to fight for because the unborn cannot fight 1.00
00:07:04.440 for themselves.
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
00:07:16.200 more, you can go to marchforlife.org.
00:07:19.780 But that's it for today's video.
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.
