- Hey guys, it's me, Hannah, the person
that you're watching on this channel right now.
So today I'm just going to do a quick favorite's video.
Just to let you guys know, some about my....
(garbled speech)
Just to let you guys know about
some of my favorite things, of the moment.
Favorite things of the moment, because remember,
moments are all we really have.
Let's begin, my first favorite thing
of the moment is Ollie, my dog,
my baby, baby, beautiful, baby, angel, dog.
She continues to be one of my favorite things
of all time because, oh my God,
I don't know if dogs can be soul mates,
I've always been a cat person.
I'm sorry, I'll stop taking about
my dog soon, but I just love her so much.
Am I hugging the screenshot?
I think I am. (smooch)
Right now Ollie is in doggy daycare.
That's why she's not in the video.
But, you know, that's okay.
It's okay for us to be separated sometimes.
In fact it probably helps with her separation anxiety,
and my separation anxiety if we don't just spend
every waking moment together.
Her doggy bed though.
My next favorite thing of the moment
I want to tell you about, well,
this one is not really of the moment
because I love this all the time, forever.
So, favorite thing of the moment
that is my life, is green tea!
I love green tea!
This is some organic green tea
I got from the farmers market
because I'm rapidly becoming that person.
Oh my God.
It's very nice and fancy, it smells great.
It's a gunpowder green, its rich in antioxidants,
helps pull stuff through your body,
makes you feel good, gives you clear skin.
Now, when I'm not drinking loose-leaf green tea,
ah, sometimes I get really indulgent
and I get this green tea, which is imported from Japan.
You can order it off Amazon, but I actually
don't recommend you do that because the
carbon footprint it leaves doesn't justify
the happiness you get from drinking it.
You know, make some green tea and put it
in the fridge if you want iced green tea.
So, this can actually just kinda makes me feel guilty.
Guilt-Tea!
Another one of my favorite things
of the moment is reading my horoscope.
Now, I've never really been into that stuff before,
but I find it kind of pretty fun to do.
Also, if you're thinking about a problem.
If you think you have something in your life
you have trouble grappling with.
You just need an answer, right?
All you want is an answer, and maybe your horoscope
will just help you get closer to an answer.
It doesn't necessarily have to be this big,
whoo, whoo, whoo kind of thing.
It might just be helpful to you to be like,
hmm, I'm thinking about that all
the time, maybe I need results.
According to The Globe and Mail,
my horoscope for today is,
Make use of the approaching solar eclipse to
get a creative project of some kind off to a flying start.
If you pour your energy and enthusiasm into it now.
You will build up the kind of momentum
that carries you through to the end.
Does that mean I should work on my second book?
I should start working on my second book.
I should! I should?
Anyways, take it with a grain of salt.
Take everything with a grain of salt.
I like adding salt to most things.
Speaking of salt, speaking of salty,
let's talk about my next section of favorites, food.
Food. Food. Food.
One of the foods I like to make when not
drinking and cooking, just for the sheer art
and magnificence of "My Drunk Kitchen",
is a food you might not expect,
because it's just so damn healthy.
The fact of the matter is that I'm also
one of those people that love to make kale chips.
And you guys probably hear about kale chips a lot
because it's so damn easy to make.
Rinse your kale, oil your kale, stick it
in the oven at 350 for ten minutes.
Salt and pepper to taste, add lemon
if you want it to be really good.
Or just add lemon pepper, yeah, do that.
Anyways, it's fun, it's east, it's quick,
it's delicious, it's guilt-free.
(chewing)
It makes a great sound effect.
And it's one of those snacks that
basically everybody in LA eats.
And I think everybody, everywhere should eat it.
It really is tasty.
If you're like rolling your eyes right now,
and being like, ugh, kale chips,
another person, talking about fucking kale chips.
You, make kale chips tonight, and tell me
that you don't like them, tell me, tell me.
Via Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or Facebook, links below.
Mmm.
My next favorite food should come as no surprise at all.
Cheese, obviously, delicious, yum.
Oh God, this is smoked gouda.
I love smoked gouda.
Ah, it's taking all of my willpower not to eat this.
(sniff)
What a gross misuse of will power.
Ahh, that's the stuff.
Mmm, oh moderation!
I get it, I get why I didn't want to take one bite.
Oh God I could just eat cheese.
You know what goes great with cheese, apples.
Oh my God, cheese and apples, holy guacamole.
Okay, stop, this is how we get sidetracked.
Other things that are my favorite things.
Food, fun, fashion, I like fashion kinda, a little bit.
I mean, okay, look, let me be honest.
I really do like fashion,
I just never felt like I had good taste
because I really didn't know what my taste was.
Now though, I get it, here are
two things that I really love.
My favorite thing to put on my head, snap-backs.
You can wear it in the front, you can wear it in the back.
Aside from the things that I like to put
on the top of my body, let's talk the things
I like to put on the bottom of my body.
And I don't mean shoes, though I do love shoes.
Get ready for this, pleather sweatpants from H&M.
So they're really cool because
they make you feel like Kanye West.
Moving right along, see, sweatpants, hats.
What else do I love? I love music.
One of my favorite websites to use for
finding music is Hype Machine, hypem.com.
They have a lot of remixes, a lot of independent deejays,
so if you're into that vibe, or vibe-y
music at all, check it out.
You can follow me, link below.
Blah, blah, blah.
Ollie, food, fashion, music, what else do I love?
Ah, books! I love books!
A lot of you guys know, my favorite book is
"Letters to a Young Poet" by Rilke.
It's great guys, it's great, If you haven't read it yet,
do yourself a favor and read it.
Speaking of more books, what you guys may not know
is my favorite children's book is "The Petite Prince".
It's the story of a little boy who goes
and travels among the planets and the stars,
and the journey that unfolds.
I really, really recommend it.
It's like this and "The Alchemist", right?
Like these are great books.
Speaking of "The Little Prince" actually reminds me
to tell you guys about my favorite social-good campaign
of the moment, which is The Collective Project.
Now, together with Microsoft, The Collective Project
harnesses the collective powers of students
who affect positive change in the world.
My favorite part of The Collective Project's umbrella
of good is that one student from UC Berkeley, go Bears,
launched an effort called the Essence K. Coprich bookclub.
This effort is to provide much needed books
for elementary schools, and students who live
in Southern California, for kids that can't afford them.
Can you imagine not having books?
I mean, I dunno, that's to me, really bad.
Books were my safe-space as a kid.
And I think that it's really important
that kids are allowed to do that.
To take that quiet time, and dive deep into
a world all of their own, and just get some perspective.
Because when you're that little, you have no choice
but to like, live in the world you live in,
and the only freedom you have is in a book, or YouTube.
So, in an attempt to get the word out, they've launched
I Give a Book, hashtag I Give A Book, to help raise
nation-wide awareness for the cause.
Now, as part of I Give a Book, I gave a book.
The book I gave, was "A Little Prince".
I think, I can't think of a more wonderful book
for a child to read and to journey off
into their own imagination with.
Am I Mr. Rodgers? Who am I?
Here's the best part, if you're thinking,
"Wow, that sounds great, but I don't have any money,"
that's totally cool, if you are inspired to donate,
just use the hashtag, I Give A Book,
and The Collective Project and Microsoft
will donate on your behalf.
How awesome is that?
Boom. Period. Done.
If you use the hashtag, I Give a Book,
The Collective Project with donate to the
Essence K. Coprich library on your behalf.
That's it. That's all you have to do.
All you have to do is allow yourself to care
and do it for a second, and that's it.
Anyway, so that's my favorite social-good
campaign of the month.
I love stuff that's effective and easy and enabling.
It enables you guys to participate
without putting too much pressure on you.
How cool is that?
Brands. Listen up, Microsoft is doing it right.
Whew, I'm sweaty, that's how you know
I got up on my soapbox.
Anyway guys, thank you so much for watching this video.
I hope you're having a good week.
What are some of your favorite things?
Do you want me to do more favorites videos?
Do you want it more specific?
Do you want like, favorite clothes,
favorite foods, favorite playing?
Because I can do that.
You know, (stutters) let's talk about it.
Okay, great, (smooch) have a great day.
