Transcript
00:00:03.100
and so now I can actually be super stoked about a pumpkin body butter.
00:00:22.520
I was introduced to grape nuts by Jacob a long time ago,
00:00:32.000
and I love the way they taste, plus they're good for you.
00:00:35.000
And then I have some strawberries and a cup of decaf coffee.
00:00:39.280
I'm using some vanilla extract in it to make it just a little bit more tasty.
00:00:47.100
I can get a little bit more fancy with the pumpkin spice stuff,
00:00:50.680
and I've been making a pumpkin spice latte, which has been fun.
00:00:56.140
I thought I would share it with you before I dig in.
00:01:02.580
I always forget how much I love strawberries until I buy them.
00:01:06.760
The thing about strawberries is if you don't eat them in like two days, they go bad.
00:01:11.860
And I have those fresh-made rubber works, rubber-made fresh works.
00:01:18.040
Those little boxes that like extend the life of your vegetables.
00:01:23.480
But sometimes I don't have space in my fridge for them.
00:01:27.420
So it's been kind of a good thing because I've been eating my strawberries so fast.
00:01:34.840
And so I'll finish the whole package in two days.
00:01:39.880
But they're good for you and they're delicious.
00:01:46.240
But I wanted to show you something that I've been loving.
00:01:49.920
Also, just in case you can hear a weird sound in the background, it's the dishwasher.
00:01:57.980
And also, I love sitting here in the mornings because I get this dappled lighting.
00:02:06.720
And it's so nice because the sun just shines through while I'm reading.
00:02:16.680
But what I wanted to show you, oh, there's my lens cap, is this pumpkin body butter.
00:02:32.740
Oh, let's see if I can get this open with one hand.
00:02:35.700
It's so creamy and it makes my skin feel so soft.
00:02:40.800
It's not like a crazy strong smell either, which I appreciate.
00:02:47.000
It's very fall themed, which you guys know I love.
00:02:54.460
And so now I can actually be super stoked about a pumpkin body butter.
00:03:01.020
So one last thing I wanted to mention actually is this podcast.
00:03:09.000
But they just play music from different parts of Disneyland or Disney World.
00:03:15.680
I just put it on, listen to it while I do work.
00:03:22.420
There is nothing better than a freshly made bed.
00:03:30.280
I would, but sometimes I would be a little flaky.
00:03:38.000
I got these big white pillows at TJ Maxx, of course.
00:03:42.580
And then I got the blue pillows in the front from Cost Plus World Market.
00:03:47.460
And a lot of the time you guys ask about my little stuffed animals on the bed.
00:03:51.860
So those are generally gifts that Jacob bought for me.
00:04:04.880
And then over here we have this sheep that's fallen on its side.
00:04:11.340
And then we have this little bear that Jacob bought for me when we were dating.
00:04:18.300
Okay, I haven't mentioned this on my channel, but I have to say it now.
00:04:21.520
The drink of the summer is seltzer with lime juice.
00:04:30.060
I don't know if it's actually like good for you.
00:04:34.000
It feels like it like cleans you out or something.
00:04:42.380
Okay, so I have taken care of some things today.
00:04:55.500
And I still have plenty of time to go do some fun things with you guys today.
00:05:02.320
My plan is I need to return something to Kohl's.
00:05:07.280
Maybe not a super long one because it's kind of hot out today.
00:05:18.100
I've been pinning on Pinterest looks that I find inspiring and that I want to emulate.
00:05:23.500
I recently did a podcast for my premium sub stack subscribers all about developing your personal sense of style.
00:05:30.860
So I've been pinning a bunch of things, seeing what my style looks like right now, what I've been liking.
00:05:36.080
And a lot of it is kind of like flowy skirts and tucked in sweaters.
00:05:43.320
So that is what I'm going to be looking for at the thrift store.
00:05:46.820
If I come across anything else, I will look as well.
00:05:49.560
I'm deciding whether or not I want to try a new thrift store.
00:05:55.200
But I'm curious to see if maybe there's another thrift store in the area that I've never been to.
00:06:10.980
So Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
00:06:14.980
It's where we pray and we are elevated in our prayer.
00:06:36.280
And I view it as an opportunity to connect with God on an even higher level.
00:06:42.740
Maybe a different level, depending on how you want to view it, than Rosh Hashanah.
00:06:51.240
Jacob and I are going to be at synagogue all day.
00:06:59.320
So I think I'm trying to figure out when I'm going to vlog next week.
00:07:04.040
Because the holiday is Monday night, Tuesday, Wednesday.
00:07:07.320
So I have to figure out when I'm going to film a vlog.
00:07:30.780
And it's a remembrance of when we were in the desert between Egypt and Israel.
00:07:38.780
First of all, we traveled in huts like that when we were moving from Egypt to Israel after
00:07:56.160
But I have some things I want to get done today.
00:08:03.860
I've never thrifted with you guys on camera, I don't think.
00:08:08.240
As far as my makeup look today, as I mentioned in a vlog, I have been keeping it way more simple
00:08:18.680
And you guys may have seen my skin is kind of acting up a little bit.
00:08:34.260
So when I get a breakout, when it heals, it's still pretty red.
00:08:39.500
And so it can look like I still have a breakout even if I don't.
00:08:42.520
And so I have to kind of cover up the redness of the past breakout, if that makes sense.
00:08:49.360
And then I'm just keeping it simple with the rest of my makeup.
00:08:51.700
But it's nice to not have to think about doing a crazy makeup look on the days where I'm kind
00:09:01.340
I don't feel really comfortable being on camera right now without a little bit of makeup because
00:09:09.780
All of you girls out there who struggle with skin problems.
00:09:17.640
And when I do a makeup tutorial, I don't mind because I'm showing you kind of the beginning
00:09:24.320
But when I'm just doing a vlog and it's not relevant, I don't really want to show you my
00:09:29.800
So that's why sometimes at the beginning of my vlogs, you won't see my face.
00:09:36.000
My face might not be on camera until a little bit later.
00:09:38.400
But I think it's important to share that because acne is, it's hard.
00:09:41.820
I get it and I've been there and I know I'll probably get comments about what I can do to
00:09:49.820
I already know and I'm trying my best, but it's always a process as those of you who struggle
00:09:55.220
with acne probably know and getting those kind of topical creams just, just right.
00:10:04.780
I think before we head out, I'm going to clean the kitchen.
00:10:08.120
So I'm going to put some stuff away and then we'll head out.
00:10:52.480
There's nothing I can do about the sponge situation.
00:10:55.600
I just, if you guys have recommendations, the issue is I need to try to keep them separate
00:11:01.040
because they're each for different categories in my kitchen because I have a kosher kitchen.
00:11:20.920
I looked up some thrift stores, but I'm used to Goodwill.
00:11:26.200
So I'm going to head inside and check out what they have.
00:11:29.020
Hopefully find some of the things that I've been inspired by on Pinterest.
00:11:35.900
I don't know that I'm going to make it outside for a walk today.
00:11:40.960
But I wanted to talk about, that's why I got on here.
00:11:43.280
I was trying to remember why I pulled out my camera.
00:11:44.980
I wanted to chat quickly about some things I've been doing for my exercise routine.
00:11:52.020
But you guys are asking me a lot, like what do I do when I exercise?
00:12:04.360
And if I'm at like the gym gym, I will do dumbbell rows.
00:12:14.880
I like to keep it more on the simple end of things.
00:12:18.200
And just kind of give myself an opportunity to use those muscles and really use them well.
00:12:23.740
Because I think most people think they know how to squat, but you don't.
00:13:06.760
So I'm leaning over this way so the lighting isn't so weird.
00:13:29.860
It's a little bit blown out over here, but the Goodwill trip was not as successful as I'd hoped.
00:13:34.340
I did find a few things. A few clothing pieces and then a tchotchke. That's like a little knick-knack that I like.
00:13:41.200
But I couldn't find any skirts. Guys, does anyone else struggle with finding skirts as much as I do?
00:13:47.260
Because I can never find skirts and my closet is mostly dresses, which, hey, I love dresses.
00:13:53.560
But as we get into fall-winter, I would like to be able to wear a sweater with a skirt as opposed to putting a sweater over a dress.
00:14:02.200
Especially because so many of my dresses have high necks and have long sleeves, so wearing a sweater over that is, like, a lot.
00:14:11.260
So I want to know if you guys have the same struggle and or if you have a good recommendation for a place to find good skirts.
00:14:19.520
But we are at Kohl's. I'm going to return a few things and maybe see if they have any skirts that I would like.
00:14:50.700
Not what I was initially anticipating looking for, but I did find a skirt.
00:14:55.180
And it's more fitted with the loose kind of blousey top.
00:15:01.900
But first I need to prepare dinner for Yom Kippur.
00:15:07.240
Before I do anything so that we make sure that we're full and ready for the fast.
00:15:12.080
Okay, so last night I made this chicken corn chowder.
00:15:23.780
So I'm going to put some in this little pot and heat it up.
00:15:28.000
And then I'm also, you can hear right now, I am putting some of my homemade bread in the toaster oven.
00:15:35.120
Just on bake to heat it up a little bit so we can have that to eat.
00:15:41.960
This is what happens when you have no room in your kitchen.
00:15:46.360
You just have to store things in a way that's, you know, as you can.
00:15:59.580
So yeah, I'm going to make this and then I'm going to try on some things for you.
00:16:05.540
This, I got at Goodwill and it's actually Ann Taylor.
00:16:14.320
And I think that this is going to look super cute in the fall, especially with tights.
00:16:18.360
It's a bit short for me personally, but with tights I think it would be okay.
00:16:33.540
But yeah, this is really cute and I can't wait to wear it with boots.
00:16:44.560
It didn't still have the tags on or anything, but I just loved where it hit.
00:16:47.800
It's got like this cropped look to it, which I love.
00:16:56.520
And it is the softest thing in the whole world.
00:16:59.420
I'm obsessed with it and it's exactly the look I was going for, you guys.
00:17:14.780
But let me quickly show you the little knickknack I got.
00:17:17.040
So I got this little snow globe, which I love because it's so cottage core and cozy.
00:17:23.280
So yeah, I got this because it was really inexpensive and I'm just going to have to find a cute place
00:17:31.660
I hope you enjoyed thrifting with me and hanging out.
