carrots and hummus 👍
ok, hi guys ~
gimme a second
I shouldn't have done that
hey guys ~
so I'm all about self-improvement..
finding things and hacks and ways to make my life better
I don't know I'm talking like that
so basically anything to help elevate, to help better, to help simplify my life
I'm all about that
for Black Friday on Amazon I bought about 7 things
and I legit did not know I needed these things until I got them
so let's just start with the first one
I kinda just woke up
so I'm gonna make a matcha latte with a milk frother
you should add water up until this min mark
uhhh where should I put the camera
maybe here
hey guys
so matcha..
I don't know if it's in focus
I'll help you out here
okay
yeahhh
yeahh
oh.. okay
um..
so there's a little whisk in there
there's a thing..
where's the cap
the cap's in here
and then....
on.. nope
hot.. yaaa
then watch it works its magic
whoa see it's already instantly steaming up
then...
so beautiful
and then you add the milk
I'm using this unsweetened almond & coconut milk
make sure to put it at the max line because if you go above it..
froth is gonna spill out
put the cap back
turn it on
and then...
this is ready
~ voilaaaa ~
~ yaaa ~
add a little bit of maple syrup
and enjoy ~
mmm ~
so that is how you make matcha latte with a milk frother
really good
alrighty so moving on to the next thing
this is a little corner
right when you enter through the door it's right here
it's this board
this is usually a felt lettering board
so this is $40-50
I've seen the real felt lettering boards going for like $200, $250, $300..
so I was like no.. I don't think it's worth it
I read a lot of reviews saying that this comes a little cheap
it's plastic
it look doesn't look that great
I think it's okay
it looks pretty good the way it is
something like this where you can remove the lettering is so good for me because
it's hard for me to commit to one thing or one quote because..
something that resonates with me today may not in a week or two
so the fact that it is removable.. it's amazing
every couple of weeks something..
I'll see something that really really speaks to me
and then I'll put it here
so it's constantly changing.. constant reminder
I love how when I leave the place, when I come in..
like right when they come in I hang my keys right there
and then I put my stuff here
and then if I never need to grab anything..
like these are just flyers that I have in my bag all the time to give out
I see this and it's such a great reminder
"but true improvements come from letting go not from gaining"
like yes.. I need to know and remember this all the time
so that is the second thing
let's grab the matcha latte and turn off the light ok
one at a time
alright
so the next thing..
ooo ~ the Himalayan salt lamp right there
it's so cute
let me just bring it here
just look at this
it's so beautiful
so I've heard a lot about Himalayan salt lamps
I've heard a lot of health benefits in terms of..
it helps you sleep.. it helps you reduce stress
it's a negative ion generator which helps purifies the air
it's good for your body
*pauses for sirens*
*patiently*
helps with allergies.. reduce stress
I don't know if I said that already
and I..
I do believe that natural minerals and crystals and things..
can help in some way, shape, or form
but I don't know
the reason why I got this wasn't really for any of those reasons
it was just really pretty and uh...
that's just why I got it
because I think at the end of the day, as much as these things can help us
true improvement and real improvement comes from within
and then you can use things like this on the outside externally to help a little
but I think true improvement really comes from within
let me light it up
~ light it light it light it up ~
it comes with a little cord
plug it in
*sings* ~ plug it in plug it in ~
I love how you can adjust the brightness of this
~ waaaooo ~
well that just looks super saturated but
okay let's bring it down a little
~ waaoo ~
look at that
it's so prettyyy ~
okay so this is the..
this is the third thing
these are freaking life-changing
okay I nerd out over whiteboards to begin with
I love writing down my thought process
I'm a very visual learner
and it just helps me so much to visualize my thought process
because things in here..
it's like super crazy and I kind of never really know what's going on
so if you're like me in anyway
if you like journaling..
if you like writing down big picture things..
if you like writing little reminders and quotes for yourself on the window
if you have windows around you
it'll change your life dude
this is legit a game-changer
I was so excited when this came in the mail
there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8..
there's eight colors!!
and then these window markers are the tits
auhhh...
yeah
this is a plant pore strip blackhead remover
it comes in this little jar
it's kind of hard to use
it liquifies.. I mean it solidifies into this little gel thing
the annoying part..
before I get to the annoying part.. it's actually really cool
growing up I've only known like the Bioré pore strips or just pore strips in general
I've never really seen something like this
where you're supposed to get a little bit.. put it on your nose..
use a strip.. put it on and they rip it off
I actually find these are so much more useful than the pore strip
you have to wet your nose and then sometimes I wet it too much
sometimes I don't wet it enough
so this works better
I actually see a lot more blackheads, whiteheads, whatever heads coming out
but the only thing about this is that it solidifies if it's too cold
you need to soak it in warm water for a bit before you can use it
and I think umm..
you know we live in this world where we want things instantly
and I just.. I'm not used to that but that's on me
but overall this is great
that's that
the next thing is a little thing but it makes my life so much..
it just it makes me so happy
it's a shark magnet
so when I went home this past Thanksgiving
I just had a thought.. I was like you know
I've been living in this apartment for half a year now
it is very bare and minimal
and I like minimal but I think I want to incorporate more things into my life
that are good reminders of who I am
and what I stand for and the things that I value
for the shark.. it's very simple
but I don't know.. growing up..
hey Siri I'm not talking to you
that's scary
you know how sometimes Siri just thinks you're talking to her but you're not
happens to me all the time
it's cause I talk to myself a lot
I loved sharks growing up
I don't know I just think they're so badass
I love how they're lone wolves and they don't travel in a pack
and they're so misunderstood
yeah I've always loved sharks
and I want to incorporate more cool things into my apartment
get more things that make you happy
this was like..
okay you're not focusing at all
this was like five dollars
I just stuck it on...
oh ~
oh a shark swimming in the ocean ~
and it is in... not focused ~
goodbye ~
the last thing on the list is such an adult purchase
*struggling*
it is this
*giggles*
if you guys can guess what it is within two seconds..
I will give you a virtual donut 🍩
this is an air purifier
👍
you know how earlier I was saying that throwing your life..
simplifying your life, bettering your existence..
and helping you live a better life..
all of that good stuff
one of the bigger reasons why I got this was because
~ story time ~
every day at 7 PM a pocket of cigarette smoke will just be in the middle of my apartment
that's not cool bro
because I've never smoked a cigarette in my life
I've never liked the smell cigarettes
second-hand smoking is actually worse than smoking yourself
so I got this because I read reviews on Amazon..
that within 15 minutes the smell's completely gone
tested it myself
it works.. it does what it's supposed to do
and I know on a daily basis
when you're just existing in your space
you think the air in here is a lot safer than the air it is outside
and sometimes that's true sometimes it may not be true
I just..
I just can't be bothered to actually looking up the exact stats to..
why an air purifier is good for you
but if this is something that you think you need in your life..
if you have allergies.. if you have asthma
I think this is something worth looking into
as well as the Himalayan salt lamp
and/or plants in your building
in your building.. in your apartment
*sniff*
uhh..
I'm just looking at the snow
it's so pretty
