- It's funny, because there is like one place
that I can stand in my house that isn't totally destroyed.
Who am I, honestly?
Oh, God.
We don't have enough storage.
There's so much going on.
(bright festive music)
Good morning, good life.
It's not ever a perfect day is it?
Welcome back to Amy TV.
I am starting the vlog.
Oh, my tree's off.
It's very hard to enjoy the tree from the camera
because of all of the light-bouncing that's going on,
but it looks just as good when it's off.
Doesn't it?
Clearly, I'm obsessed with my tree.
So I'm about to head into the office.
It's actually kind of like halfway through the day.
I've had a lot going on, filming,
I had a meeting this morning.
You've probably seen it on a former video.
So I need to go in to pass off some footage
to my editor, do a little like touch-base with the team.
I'm also doing an Instagram live interview
with my friend, Sue B.
Maybe have you pop in for that for a little bit.
What else is going on?
Lucy hopefully is getting tuckered out at the daycare.
That's what we're always pulling for.
And yeah, basically just trying to bear this cold.
It's freezing.
It is so freezing outside, it's insane.
So I imagine tomorrow, when I go to New York,
going to New York tomorrow, it's not gonna be much better.
So I'm kinda bracing myself for that.
Do I need a spray tan?
Probably not.
Do I never travel without a spray tan?
Pretty much never.
So, decisions, decisions.
I'm gonna head to the office,
I'm gonna put a big coat on.
Little on-brand, I know, I had to wear a little pink
for an interview that I know I'm gonna be on video,
so that's what we're doing.
Let's do it.
(laughs) Whose turn is it?
No, you know what?
I don't know how, but like, we got along so great.
Like, the three of us and how we made that work.
It was like, oh, Amy's in LA on that Sunday,
so she's gotta go last because she.
- [Sue] And Chandler and I talked about community,
and that was really my first experience
to grow an explosive community from the three of us,
to the point where we had a Facebook group,
and we had so many people sharing your journey from.
We decided, okay, here, that was fun, this is great,
and move on.
It was all in a good spirit.
It was all like, we knew that we were all heading
into different areas.
- My engagement level and different elements.
It was a really fun campaign while we did it.
There were so many people who were just
as committed to Sundays as we were
and would watch, and that was just a lot of fun.
And obviously, it brought all three of us closer together.
Two of us got married, but that's okay.
(Sue laughs)
What's the name?
- [Woman] Christopher Shingle.
- The whole name? - [Woman] You think Chris?
- You think he wants the whole name?
- [Woman] You can write Chris.
- Do you think he wants Chris?
No, I mean his last name. (laughs)
I can write Christopher.
- [Woman] Oh, yeah, write Christopher.
- Okay, I can write Christopher.
Is it two to Christopher?
The other one, too?
- [Woman] Yeah, but you don't have to write to Christopher
to him, on that one.
I'm gonna write all over this one, anyway.
He wants me to sign this one, yeah.
- [Amy] He wants you to sign that one?
- [Woman] Well, I don't know that he wants me to,
but I'm going to, and he's gonna enjoy it.
- Okay, so what do you want me to write on this one, then?
- [Woman] To Christopher, and I don't know.
- You want me to do both of them to Christopher?
- [Woman] No, I don't know.
This is the one he's giving to somebody.
- So then I probably shouldn't write to Christopher, right?
- [Woman] You just sign Amy Landino.
- Okay, okay. - [Woman] Yeah, this is.
- Should I write Amy Landino?
- [Woman] (laughs) Yeah, yeah.
- You can check with him to see if I was supposed
to do something different for that one if you want,
since you have special access.
- [Woman] Right.
- Okay, two bookmarks.
- [Woman] I was handing 'em out at the party
and I didn't realize they were double-sided.
- (laughs) The are double-sided.
That's so funny, my brother said the same thing.
He was, like, oh, I couldn't decide
if I wanted a yellow or a pink.
And I was like, you can have both.
- [Woman] That's 'cause I handed it to him
and I was like, do you want yellow or pink?
(laughs) And he was like, yellow.
- There you go.
It was the two of you who were doing it.
It's amazing.
All right.
Rush back home, change my clothes
because I have an interview with my friend Jay now.
It's an interview kind of day.
We're on podcast whore.
So it's happening.
I need more coffee.
People were asking me to speak about video
and what is it that actually makes it work,
and the only thing I could really point to
was that, you know, when you see a comment
on a video that's like, I feel like you made
that for me, or you're my favorite YouTuber,
how do you get to that point?
How do you become someone's favorite?
It's not like I came out of nowhere.
It's not like this just happens.
You stumble upon these valuable pieces of advice
and information through experience,
and this was my experience.
It was fascinating to me that, again,
I had learned something new.
I learned one, you can make a video for one person
and affect many, and then I learned, two,
if you learn how to communicate in a medium
that you might be able to communicate
in other mediums well.
Just because you make free videos on the internet
doesn't mean that you're too good to write a book,
and because of speaking, I realized
I was missing a piece and it was having a book.
So that's how my first book came out,
and I couldn't believe now how many people
have been touched by my message
because I now entered their medium of choice,
like reading or listening on Audible.
But you have to make a video for two people.
It's gotta be for your Charlotte,
and it also has to be for you.
Because we've seen too many people doing things
for the wrong reasons, and that's why they don't
have staying power.
They get to their 100th episode
and they get to some milestone they thought
was gonna be a big deal,
and then it's really not a big deal.
It doesn't move the needle, it's just a pretty number.
And then it's not enough for them.
- Say hi to Vin, please.
Have a very merry Christmas.
- I will, you, too.
Tell the family we said hi.
- Guys, later.
- Bye.
- All right, I'm gonna have to end this vlog here.
I've gotta get packed up, at least a little bit.
I usually pack at the last second,
especially since we're only going to New York
for like five minutes.
Better pack up a little bit.
Before we leave, I got some things I've gotta take care of.
I'm waking up at three o'clock in the morning.
It's gonna be a whole situation.
So that's what's going on.
That's it for this episode of "Vlogmas."
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I appreciate it, as always.
Make sure you subscribe for good vibes,
kiss the ones you love, and go after the life you want.
Cheers.
Hey, are you struggling to find time
for the things you love?
Feel like you're constantly on the go
but taking care of everyone else first?
You are not alone, and you deserve so much more.
Not only are you capable of taking on this challenge,
you already have all the tools it takes
to make it happen.
That resourcefulness is all you need
to get activated by your new daily mantra.
"Good Morning, Good Life."
It's my new book, and it launches on Amazon
on December 10th.
