- Good morning good life Shinesquad.
I hate starting vlogs at 5:42 in the morning,
which is why like I don't.
Even for somebody who talks about morning routines
I don't like starting videos this early in the morning
no matter if I'm actually makeup ready or camera ready
or whatever the words are.
This is the first time I'm talking today.
Lucy's not here, she's at my mom's house.
Vinny's not here, he's in Florida
and I'm getting ready to leave to get on a plane
to Washington DC.
I have been asked to host the .Org Awards
which is really awesome.
I'm like, I was like, mmm, okay cool.
I'm really excited about it.
It's something I've never done before.
I've done a lot of speaking on stage
but I've never actually like hosted, yeah.
No, I guess I can't say that.
I hosted Team Crispy Live. (giggles)
I feel like that counts.
This is a much more official hosting situation.
There's a script, there's a dress,
there's a whole thing involved.
There may even be a celebrity.
The possibilities are endless.
I'm actually bringing a member of my team.
I haven't talked a lot about this on the channel yet
but I have started hiring more people to work with me.
If you follow me on Twitter you probably saw this recently
and I got a lot of amazing response to this.
It's just so exciting to see like how many people
actually want to work with me, which is awesome.
They all are here in Columbus
so we've been gettin' to work and more on that
at some other point in time but I was like oh,
well maybe I should bring somebody with me and vlog this
because like the last vlog went so well
when somebody was able to kinda capture the stuff
that I couldn't.
So that's what's happening.
So while I am only barely ready for the day.
Thank god there's hair and makeup later, girl.
Also, I'm gonna have to do like a hand mask
because I accidentally forgot to wash my hands
after I got a spray tan last night and
♪ nobody wants to see orange hands on stage ♪
Nope, and oh by the way and forgive the mess,
but I am very excited to get back home.
This episode of AmyTV is in partnership with Fabletics
and they just sent me a whole bunch of more stuff.
I have to go through this
and like start making my like outfits for working out.
You know, you gotta pair everything up.
So anyway, I'm gonna talk to you about this when I get back.
I cannot wait to tell you about the leggings again.
We have a new pocket.
We have a new type of pocket, external pocket,
you know I love those so stay tuned for that in well
just a little bit for you, when I get home for me.
So anyway, that's what's happening.
Gotta get to the airport, gotta get going
and hoping that all my flights are on time
because that would be a major tragedy, major, stay tuned.
Thank you washer and dryer for being my background.
(upbeat music and airplane dings)
That's me.
- Yes, hello.
- [Amy] Hi.
- My name's, here let me give (laughing covers dialogue)
- You did great, thank you.
♪ A line into the story ♪
♪ If you thought that I would turn and run ♪
♪ Than y'all don't know me ♪
Welcome to The Watergate Hotel.
I got my own elevator.
I'm going pretty high up, I'm giddy.
♪ Gasoline in my veins be the fuel through my pain ♪
♪ As we rise ♪
Oh my god. (giggles)
I just like feel like this is a scandalous hotel. (laughs)
Oh my god.
So beautiful, oh my god the lights.
This is insane.
Let's just give it up for the bathroom, shall we?
Double sinks even when you don't need them
and of course the hotel robe.
I cannot do hotel life ever without a hotel robe.
If you literally have a hotel and I stay in your room
and there's no hotel robe ready I will call you,
I will find it, and you will bring me that robe okay?
You will go and get it fresh out of the dryer
for the people who specially request it
because you should already include it in the room
just like The Watergate does 'cause it's fancy around here.
Kinda '60s but fancy.
(laughs) Megan's already having fun.
We just got here five seconds ago.
I love it, I just love it.
She's so sweet, how sweet is this?
I'm just glad we got here.
By the way, repeat outfit.
Pretty sure I just had this on recently on the channel.
I like it okay?
We are at The Watergate Hotel.
If you are not American you may not know the scandal
with The Watergate but this is the official scandalous hotel
from the Nixon administration.
So that's super fun.
There's so much light.
I'm just like happy.
So different from my apartment this morning right?
I'm sorry about my air but like glam squad is coming.
That's another thing.
I'm so excited.
I've never been able to hire the official glam squad before
because it's not in my city.
I thought this was a perfect time to do it
'cause they're in DC and I definitely need glam today okay?
This is a black tie affair.
I have a gown that was a little bit of a debacle yesterday
because I got my gown that I ordered online in the mail,
it didn't fit, and then I had to go shopping in the morning.
So I finally found something.
I really hope that it works because it's like holy crap,
I'm hosting this thing.
People are gonna be looking at me.
Like it's the same thing as speaking
but like for two hours instead of one, crazy.
So anyways, so I think we're gonna try to grab some lunch
because we're gonna have to meet the organizers at 2:30
and kind of get the lay of the land of the actual event
and figure out like what the setup looks like
and all that kinda fun stuff and then glam
and then continue to just prep, prep, prep
and Megan's gonna help me vlog it and it's gonna be fun.
Yeah, let's do it.
(light orchestral music)
(mellow contemporary music)
(laughs) I don't have a balcony.
I'm not fancy like you.
I guess we'll just have to do the reveal
in my piddly old room here. (laughs)
So this is my dress.
I'm so glad, thank god, thank god this is like okay
'cause I do not feel like my best self right now
but I look like best self right now
and sometimes you know how you put a dress on
and you don't feel like your best self.
I found one at the very last minute and it even has a train.
Look how official.
We ready?
- [Megan] I think so.
- All right, let's do it.
(bright contemporary music)
- And we're back.
(background noise covers dialogue)
did you totally just get that on film?
- [Megan] Yep.
- Look, the sign is here.
(bright contemporary music)
Good evening, my name is Amy Landino
and I'm your host for the .Org Impact Awards.
(cheering and applause)
You all look amazing, by the way.
Thank you so much for joining us here this evening
in Washington DC at The Watergate Hotel.
Fun fact, did you know this hotel is famous?
(laughter)
Is anyone staying in room 214?
(laughter)
Also, feel free to tweet your little faces off
but silence those phones
just out of respect for people that come up here
and are very nervous like myself, okay?
(mellow jazzy contemporary music)
(applause)
Would you mind?
So I didn't mention this earlier
but I was more of like a Private Practice fan.
(cheering and applause)
And my mom was too.
- Oh, that is. (background noise covers dialogue)
- And I kinda need like a birthday gift for her
for like the next five years.
So could you just simply say hi Jackie, I love you.
- Yes, to where, to here?
- Anywhere.
- Okay, hi Jackie, I love you.
- Thank you!
(cheering and applause)
Taye Diggs, thank you.
- Amy, Amy!
(mellow jazzy contemporary music)
- [Megan] You did it!
- I am fully relaxing right now.
Megan, how did I do?
- Amazing, everyone was laughing the whole time.
- Well, that's the goal.
We made it.
This looks like I'm wearing a blankie.
It's just hiding my insecurities.
This was such a good event.
I'm very happy it's over though, I'm not gonna lie.
I was a little bit anxious.
I don't actually know what I'm doing when I'm up there
because I've never hosted an award show before.
We survived and now we're on a rooftop
and there's copyright music.
Becca's gonna hack this up for me, wee!
(laughs)
I love a hotel robe.
Mission accomplished, I just hosted my first award show
and I think it went pretty good.
Everybody seemed pretty happy with it
and I would totally sleep in my makeup
if I believed in that but I don't.
Love my hair too.
Gosh, they really did such a good job, oh my gosh.
Look at this height.
Anyway, gotta go to bed.
Waking up in three hours to fly home. (giggles)
(airplane engine whooshes)
Oh my gosh, my house is a mess. (laughs)
Please don't look at it.
I'm gonna sit here very strategically
'cause this is the least messy view.
Okay so it's been a little bit since I got back from DC
but I feel like the elephant in the room
is like how did this happen? (laughs)
I feel very fortunate
.Org reached out to me to host this event
but it was like a call
a couple days before I was meant to do the thing
and they were like have you ever heard anybody
by the names of Taye Diggs?
And I was like the Taye Diggs?
Like Rent on Broadway, Private Practice Taye Diggs?
And they were like I think so.
And I was like yeah, I've heard of him.
That was added pressure a little bit to the event
but it was very, very cool.
I will be honest.
He is so, so, so good at what he does
but like it's really crazy to like see somebody
in that situation who's had so much exposure to the public,
so much acting experience, so much stage experience
and still like he got up on stage and was very like,
this is not my thing.
Like I do not generally just talk on stage.
Like, you know he's a performer.
He takes the role of somebody else.
It was kind of like wow, just an interesting reminder
that once you practice something so much so many times
you get really good at it but like one slight tweak
in a different direction and it's like not,
you don't have this one locked up.
So it was like two things happened for me.
One, I speak on stage all the time so that was great.
Like that part of it was fine but two,
I have never hosted an award show before
so I was definitely like trying to keep my cool
before and during this event 'cause I was like ugh,
I hope I can carry this to the end.
Like this is really out of my element.
There was a lot of like last minute script things going on
and I was just like super nervous
because typically when I get up on stage
I'm talking about something I know
like in the depths of my soul
not like memorizing like people's names and titles
and like who's giving out an award for this
and what the name of that award is.
I don't know,
I guess I just treated it like a YouTube video. (laughs)
And I walked up there and I was like
I had the composure of my usual speaking
with the wittiness of a YouTube video and it worked out.
I was actually featured in an article
where they said I kept the laughs coming,
I think that's what it said.
We'll have to like post it here or something.
But anyways, so I definitely was trying to just stay chill
and just trust in the fact
that the script was on a teleprompter for me
and I had reviewed it many times
and even though I didn't have to have it memorized
I could wing it and it didn't have to be perfect
and they were super cool.
It was such a great event.
Shout out to Peter who had my back during the event
the entire time.
It was a lot of fun.
He was like the guy on side stage
like making sure I was good,
making sure that the right people
were going up on stage to present,
the right people blah, blah, blah were accepting,
handing the awards, stuff like that.
So that was great and Jodi was fantastic.
She's the one that really brought me into the event
which is super fun.
So we had a very good time.
I got so lucky with that dress.
Thank you to everybody
who complimented the dress on Instagram
and complimented me in person.
I got so lucky with that dress. (laughs)
I had ordered a dress and it was very pricey.
I had ordered a gown because this was black tie,
I'm the host.
I ordered a gown, it didn't fit.
Like literally within 24 hours of me getting on the plane.
I went to Nordstrom and like Nordstrom,
you gotta work on your frickin' game man.
Like you have like young women figured out
in the young women's section
but like in the fancy pants section,
like you do not have what we need.
Like we do not have to be old people
in order to wear something formal.
So I wish they would fix that
but I did pick something out there and it was,
I got home and I was like this ain't it.
I was like nope.
So that's way too much money spent already
if you think about like it was Neman Marcus
and then Nordstrom and then I went to Macy's
to the prom department
and that's where I found that blue dress
and it was the cheapest, it was the most flattering.
I think I'm gonna resell it
because I just want somebody else
to experience the fabulousness of this cheap dress
and I got really lucky.
So feelin' very good about that
because it just made me feel more confident
in an element that I was completely not feeling myself in.
So that was cool and meeting Taye Diggs,
swindling him on stage with me
to wish my mother a happy birthday for the next five years.
I'm going to be playing that video for her
for the next five years.
It's already hard to find things for her,
so why try, this is gonna do it for me I think.
I think it's good.
I'm very excited.
Got home and no longer wearing formal gowns,
wearing my Fabletics so you know what time it is.
Gotta show you some new outfits I got
from my friends at Fabletics.
Thanks to them for sponsoring this episode of Amy TV.
Just had to do some tidying up
'cause I just filmed a video in here if this looks familiar.
I love these kinds of shirts.
I'm a little bit insecure about my hand
so when you have your thumb in here looks good
and also I'm so excited
to have a second pair of these pants.
I have a black pair that I've been completely obsessed with.
They're kinda like loose at the top
and then they get tighter at the bottom.
They're literally the best.
They always sell out too
so I would definitely search for them ASAP
but oh my god, they're the comfiest.
They're legit the best, I love, love this.
This is a very comfy outfit by I'm feelin' it right now.
I love my Fabletics leggings.
I definitely love this kinda different pocket
than the other ones.
Gotta have the pocket for my phone.
Also I've been wearing a lot of these like crop tops lately
just especially to work out in
because it's like less baggage ya know?
You're not like trying to figure out
what your shirt's doin' all the time.
So cute and I feel like you could kinda just like wear this
as a regular shirt.
The leggings make it.
I'm feelin' sucked in honey.
Okay, black on black on black.
So, number of things going on here.
First, very important to have high-impact sports bras.
I got this one that zips in the front
because they're all starting to look the same
and I want something a little bit different.
I love it because of this material here.
I don't know if you can tell
but it's like kind of different and oh my gosh,
the jackets at Fabletics this season are so good.
I think I bought like four different jackets.
This is just so cute
for like running in and out of like the gym or a class
and like not being frumpy, if you know what I mean.
Like sometimes the jackets
just look a little bit too under dressed.
This looks really, really classic
and of course my favorite leggings.
I have to have multiple pairs of my favorites.
Classic phone pocket and you can have
like the see-through effect here on the leg.
I have so many pairs of these now. I love them.
I gotta show you how to find them though
because there's a very specific way to look for them
on the site.
Okay, make sure you go to my link so you get that deal.
Gotta go to Bottoms and then go to Leggings.
7/8, that is what we want.
We have to do 7/8.
My iPad, get with it girl.
Oh my god, how did I not see those before.
Okay, make sure you click on 7/8.
Make sure you have that length in front of you
because that's my favorite.
It's like having the pants but it'll also come up
and look really cute with like a shoe.
And then we have to go to Features
and we want that external pocket, yes, yes, yes.
And how you have like all the ones you can see
the phones are sitting in everyone's pockets.
These are all my favorite leggings.
This is literally the only page I shop on for leggings.
I don't like capri,
I don't like a couple of the other lengths.
These are definitely the most flattering on my body,
especially if you're sorta like heavy
in this vicinity right there.
Okay I put on another jacket 'cause I had to.
Oh my gosh, I love it.
Okay this is definitely a lot longer.
This feels more like something I would probably wear
like if I needed to be warmer
because the lining on the inside is perfect for that.
Sorry, it's kinda dark.
Trying to get you that image.
Yes, oh that is just the softest lining.
I love it.
So definitely shop the jackets
but if you don't have a pair of these leggings at this point
honey you're missing out.
fabletics.com/amylandino for a good deal on them okay.
You don't wanna pay full price for them okay
'cause it starts to add up 'cause you'll realize
you need like a lot of 'em.
So get get two for 24.
Thank you so much for hanging out with me while I was in DC.
Oh my gosh, what a once-in-a-lifetime type of gig.
I don't even know how we fit into all the craziness
that's goin' on right now.
You know the book's coming.
We're so busy with that.
I cannot wait to keep you updated on it so stay tuned.
That's all for today.
Thank you so much for tuning in I appreciate it.
As always, make sure you subscribe for good vibes,
kiss the ones you love, (smooches)
and go after the life that you want, cheers.
(upbeat contemporary music)
Everybody say hi, everybody say hi.
(greetings from group)
- We're in the elevator.
- [Man Adjacent To Amy] E-L-E-V-A-T-O-R.
- I forced them into it.
We're in an elevator. (laughing)
