this video is brought to you by squarespace hello wonderful humans i haven't used that intro in such
a long time welcome back to the bliss bean it's almost valentine's day and being a single person
i might not necessarily be the target market for this holiday but i decided to celebrate anyways
to take a day off from working and reconnect with myself my friends my family and my one true love
in this world chocolate so this is my famous oats recipe i do about a cup of old-fashioned rolled
oats three of these dates and i just chopped them up into six some of this peanut butter
some cocoa or cacao powder not sure what the difference is oh chocolate i forgot about
the chocolate cinnamon and vanilla and then also almond milk oh i need to stir this i'm
actually so happy i picked today for the self date date because my period started yesterday
and it completely drained me of my energy i felt fine for most of the day and then i had
a zoo meeting from three to four after four i got a little snack i tried to edit and then i
just hit this wall i can't remember the last time i've been that exhausted like so suddenly matcha
i probably would have just gone to sleep had i not scheduled a korean lesson for 7 p.m i wanted
to stay awake for that because otherwise if i took a nap i would not be able to think afterwards and
i paid a lot of money for that lesson so i watched some tv i went to bed early and today
i'm excited for another day of relaxing i think the challenge that i've posed for myself today is
to not do any work i recently saw amanda rachel's video where she said that she's taking a break
for a couple of weeks and she took a break around the same time last year but that time it was like
very much needed because she was really not doing well and then this year's break is more proactive
because she said she's starting to see the signs but it's not really like an emergency yet and so
that's what i want to do more of i think i want to do some sort of like an annual break with youtube
in the long term but then in the short term just have days like this where i'm not working
like that should not be such a crazy concept i feel like really approach and this is about it
it's actually one of the coldest days so far this winter so maybe today was not the best
day for this it's not too bad as long as i keep my hands in my pockets but obviously i can't
when i'm filming and then my face is a little cold and my knees but otherwise i'm doing great
it's just really nice to be outside before most people i saw one person on the path that
i'm walking on but we just waved and smiled didn't have to talk to them sometimes when
i'm walking i like to listen to some songs or some podcasts but then once in a while
it's nice to just walk with your thoughts and i don't know if i would even call it my thoughts i
feel like i don't do that much thinking while i'm walking it's just head empty no thoughts
i want to read some fictional book i have no idea what one let's ask the internet
it's beatrice from the future just two weeks in the future i haven't been able to get that
good at time travel yet but i've come back in time to tell you about squarespace as you know
or maybe not maybe you're new i have been using squarespace for like three and a half years now
i used it for my photography business and i'm now using it to create a beautiful website if i
may toot my own horn that is basically a home base for all things bliss bean related so if you are a
content creator a freelance creative anything like that squarespace is the perfect way to display all
of your work in a really aesthetically pleasing way without having to know any coding my favorite
feature is probably the blogging feature because i want a way to display each of my videos in each of
my podcast episodes so i can create a blog post for each piece of content use their blocks to
add images videos related posts etc use tags and categories to organize the post and then there's
an integrated commenting feature so people can talk about all of the wonderful things that you've
posted so if you want to make a website that is as beautiful as mine to display your work you can
head to squarespace.com slash theblissean and get 10 off your first purchase of a website or domain
i'm gonna meet up with a friend for coffee and i thought i had lots of time to get
ready but i actually have to leave in like 15 minutes this sort of thing happens to me
a lot i always overestimate the amount of time that i have my nose ring was healing so nicely
for like the first month and now it's just and recently i was taking a nap and i pulled on it
and it started bleeding so that was fun i know i'm not supposed to take it out so i feel like
i'm just gonna try and keep taking care of it the way i'm supposed to and hopefully it will
go back to normal but in terms of how it looks i'm so so happy with it i don't wear makeup that often
or that much jewelry like these earrings i think i've been wearing these same earrings for months
but having just this little piece of metal on my face instantly automatically makes me feel
a tiny bit more dressed up no matter what other makeup i have on or what i'm wearing
i usually don't do much with my eyebrows just clean them up a little bit
i feel like whenever i've tried to do more i just end up regretting it because they are
kind of full already there's so many colors here but i've really only stuck to like
this corner of it i just don't think the other ones would look good on my face
i don't know i tried
not deep but shallow i did think of shallow but it doesn't feel right just superficial
yeah yeah yeah thank you i'm a wordsmith shakespeare wishes he was me
hello
oh no i should take a photo for instagram stories camera eats first you know oh it's so pretty
oh don't fall oh it's very sweet oh i'm a neutral what let me drive
okay apparently i forgot how to operate this car so me and my friend were talking about how i'm
filming this self-date video and about whether or not we want to be in relationships so on instagram
a bunch of the true or false question submissions were about true or false you want to be in a
relationship and i feel like that's impossible to answer with just true or false because emotionally
sure i would say like 40 to 40 to 60 of the time i do wish that i was in a relationship logically
100 i do not want to be in a relationship because i feel like this is the worst possible time
for me to be in one where i'm about to move to spain and it's also coronavirus so it's pretty
much the worst possible time of my life to be in a relationship i think it's okay to have those
feelings and want that but just like remember that you have yourself and your friends and your family
and take days like this one to really enjoy that and appreciate that my friends got into this
really intense discussion about meyer briggs personality type so while i ate lunch i tried
to take this new test and i actually got estj and i'm pretty sure i did something wrong because just
after watching this video you should be able to tell that i'm not very extroverted so let me know
in the comments what you think my type actually is because i've gotten isfj i've gotten estj and i
have no idea who i am on the inside i need to tidy up my room so i said that i wasn't gonna do any
work today but i do have to post on instagram so i'll do that i don't really count that as work so
545 sounds good uh yes yep okay awesome thank you
stop i got some fancy letter writing paper recently so as cheesy as it sounds i'm
going to write a love letter to myself this is a rom-com movie and i am both of the main characters
i have this tata sticker oh i already dropped it tata doesn't fit
i'm normally very indecisive about where to put stickers
but i feel like this is a good use of a sticker
that class is very fun it is 507 now and my nail appointment is at 5 45 so i'm going to
go shower quick and then be on my merry way got everything charging so i'll be all ready
i was gonna try to film some of it i always think i'm gonna film stuff and then i just get too
awkward to do it so sorry no behind the scenes footage but at least you can see the finished
product it's a little bright a little vibrant but my last color was like a nude pink so i think i
just have to get used to it but yeah actually the first polish did not work for some reason
so they had to scrape the whole thing off again because it's a gel one so they use like that drill
thing so i don't know if that damaged my nails uh hopefully not i think i'll have to take a break
from gel manicures after this one this is only my second one but i just feel bad doing that to my
nails every couple of weeks so maybe i should just let it grow out for a while but yeah let's go home
because i'm super hungry after that i got myself some ice cream and i watched alice in borderland
on netflix this valentine's day whether you're celebrating with a romantic partner or not i hope
you do something nice for yourself we're actually having a meet-up on our vibe week group on sunday
