Good morning my friends.
It is currently eight a.m. I've been up since 4a.m.
There was an unexpected thunderstorm
there was a dry thunderstorm
So there wasn't rain there was just a lot of lightning a lot of thunder
really scary thunder to the point where I woke up
I didn't even sleep that early either. I slept at midnight
Maybe 12:30 or 1 and then I woke up at four.
I was going to have just a peaceful sleep
But i'm a light sleeper. I saw flashes of light under my eyelids
And then the thunder was just terrifying
I had to sleep with music on. I also can't sleep with music on but
It calms me down. So basically I was just
Lying in bed listening to music
Anywho so I got four maybe three hours of sleep,
but you know what?
That's okay. At least I had an early start to my morning.
I just brushed my teeth
I usually do my skincare after I shower
I am a morning shower person
Sometimes I shower at night but by the end of the day, I have no energy to stand in the shower.
I don't remember
The last time I washed my hair
but my hair has been holding its waves so well
I have been using a new shampoo and conditioner
before though by the second day, my waves would just fall apart
It's really holding up though, and I haven't washed my hair in days.
I have been using function of beauty's shampoo and conditioner
I've used this for a while and it's helped my hair so much.
This video is actually kindly sponsored by function of beauty
So thank you to them for partnering with me.
Everyone has different hair different scalps different needs
So what I like about functional beauty is that you can customize your hair products
All you have to do is fill out a two-minute quiz with your hair type, your hair goals, preferences
I personally have a wavy medium dry profile
and then for hair goals, I chose anti-frizz, curl definition, volumize,
hydrate and strengthen
you can also choose the fragrance and the colors
you guys know I love floral scents
I love smelling like a flower. So I chose their rose scent. It was the strike a rose fragrance
It smells so good it smells like roses but it's also fruity
So you smell like a fruity flower
and then to go with that I chose a nice delicate pink color
Kind of matches my pajamas
and then for the conditioner I opted for no color just so it has that nice cute aesthetic look
I thought the pink and the white one paired together
since this is customized
You also get to put your name on it.
My bottles say function of nina. You can put any nickname,
just your first name, whatever you want
function of beauty's products have no parabens, no sulfates, gmos or toxins
It's also 100% vegan and cruelty free.
I also have a leave-in treatment, you basically put this on after you showered
you leave this in your hair and it just hydrates and softens your hair
They have other hair care products you can choose to your liking
they have leave-in treatments hair masks serums all that
I do feel like it has volumized my hair
my hair looks and feels stronger and the curls are still holding up
So I just appreciate how I can customize the products to my hair needs.
My hair has also been smelling amazing

i'm gonna go shower now, time to get ready for a very long day
It's cold. now it's time to wash my face
I'm running out of this
Gently pat dry
i'm gonna breeze through my skincare as usual
nice to have some kind of routine in my life
Just put my favorite moisturizers on, and then finally sunscreen
All ready to go
actually i have to put makeup on, okay
My hair smells nice
did you hear that
nice and wavy
All done with the makeup, the sun is out
and it is 10:10
So time got away from me
It is currently 4pm.
I had to do a bunch of important stuff that I couldn't film
Now I can kind of relax and take care of the stuff that I need to get done
I am going to bullet journal.
I have to plan the next few days.
I need to get myself organized
getting all my supplies out
I think it's always good to take some time out of your day to plan
To get yourself organized before you move on to other things.
I have to finish editing a video I was supposed to upload today
But the video needed a bit more time to edit
so I decided to give myself another day instead of staying up till 3am
I have to kind of fix my schedule
i'm eating tomatoes, by the way
It's fine
i'm just gonna wipe this off a little bit
Tomatoes are one of my favorite snacks, especially these colorful ones
last week was a very busy week
It was so busy that I couldn't even check off the things that I did
Let me just make sure I did-
I didn't do that. I didn't publish my video because I need more time
Obviously, you've probably already seen the video by now because this video came after that one
but now i'm going to plan
Something that I really need to do now is write down all of the important dates for bts's comeback
It was basically their schedule for the comeback
But the picture keeps getting lost in my camera roll
I can't do this anymore
I'm going to finally write down the dates and time.
I have kept up with everything but
i'm always afraid i'm going to miss something
Music video teaser
the thing is by the time you're watching this
dynamite's already out
I hope and know that the song is going to be great
I have finished.
let's start editing. Here we go
By the way
This is the blue microphone
a lot of content creators use this
specifically this is the blue yeti microphone
not sponsored. I just have it
testing testing. One, two, three, four, five six, seven eight nine ten eleven twelve
testing
I'm not the biggest fan of that
But why are voiceovers so hard
i'm saying the same thing over and over
each time it sounds the same
nina
Anyway, that's done.
I am going to continue editing later
for now I wanted to take care of a few tasks
Just get them out of the way.
I didn't even realize this was in the shot. I quickly went out today
So I just put on some sunscreen
this one was for my body
but I wanted to show you my turntable
I got a turntable and speakers.
I guess I am now collecting records
so I actually got this because
I impulsively bought bts's vinyl for dynamite
It was early in the morning for me when it was announced
and I had the chance to buy it before it sold out
Not this, the vinyl
so I ordered the vinyl
But then I realized I don't have a turntable
so I scoured the internet for a turntable. This was highly recommended
This is the audio technica at-lp60x
It was either the 60 or the 120.
I went with the 60 because I love simplicity
I've been playing it for the last few days. And I love it.
I did have to buy a couple records though
Because then I realized after buying this, i'm not gonna have the bts vinyl for a while
by the time you're watching this video
It's already available, but I went ahead and got some records.
I will play one for you
So with this you do have to get separate speakers.
This was just the best-selling most reviewed one
These are active speakers and you just set it up all together
and it plays music beautifully
I actually always wanted a turntable i've wanted one since my tumblr days.
I would say probably around 2014
I was never brave enough though to get one.
But now I got myself one
This was honestly one of my best purchases
no regrets. I love it
It's a good time good vibes.
One of the albums I got is ariana grande's sweetener
This is one of my favorite albums. And now I have it in vinyl.
I think the fact that you just get to
Interact with the music is kind of interesting to me
You have to carefully get it out of the sleeve
Once it's done playing you have to flip it over.
I just think it's fun
so all you do is just place it close it and then
I didn't even plug it.
I only plug it when I use it
also as you can see I did change my room a little bit.
I had to put my audio system over here
and then my rainbow color coordinated books are over here
It was quite the change to do but I love it now
now let me just make sure that everything's on
let's hear it
There it goes. I love it. It's also automatic
This also does come with a remote
I just muted it
now I'm just going to chill out and fold some laundry.
My laundry has been sitting for quite a while. It's clean laundry
I just have to fold it
but the vibes are so great
It's so good
I just tidied up a little bit and now I think i'm going to make dinner. It's almost 7 p.m
i'm not really sure what I want to make, I have a lot of tofu
And a lot of kimchi
so I think i'm going to try to make kimchi jjigae
It's basically kimchi soup
So it shouldn't be too hard to make
i'm excited
Five six seven eight nine ten one
Ah hot hot
but pretty
kind of, I haven't made this in a long time
After so long, I made dinner
made dinner for my whole family, i'm so proud of myself
Let's taste
hopefully I cooked the tofu long enough that it absorbs the flavor
Wow
I made that?
gotta dip some rice
Oh my goodness
Even though i'm not the biggest fan of ketchup
I will admit it does taste better when you add ketchup
because kimchi is so salty,
the sweetness? I understand now I get it. Wow
I don't wear tank tops often so I am chilly
but that is pretty much it for this day
I am surprised I made it this far
I had three hours of sleep my brain and my body are very tired
I am going to try to sleep at an appropriate time for once
and hopefully there's not another thunderstorm so I can actually get some sleep and not wake up at 4am.
i hope you had a good time spending this day with me
and as mentioned earlier
