Hello friends I hope you are well today
we are just off to a little shopping adventure so we thought we
would take you all along and we're gonna pop over to our house
build later today as well and there's tons of updates to share with you guys
so we have a lot of catching up to do they've done so much this week and we
haven't even seen a lot of it so we're really excited to check it out
and first and foremost we're actually gonna go shopping for home decor
it's probably so loud because the ac is on so high it's still
quite toasty in Florida but we're gonna go to Target get some coffee and
just walk around there and then also home goods to check out everything that
they have and then we're gonna go to lowe's to
check out their appliances because we really gotta
figure out what refrigerator washer and dryer we wanna get and there's
so many options so i've been a little overwhelmed just researching so
hopefully going in person will be helpful so we'll do that and just have a
great day and i'm excited to spend the day with me and you guys as
well were you yanny were you bored
yeah he had a busy morning volunteering so he's a little tired
but i'm ready to go but first and foremost iced coffee that'll help you
out it's the outfit of the day i'm wearing
this really pretty tank from lovers and friends that i got
via revolve and then these are really cozy
loungewear pants and they have these really cute ruffle details at the bottom
and my shoes are from lulu's and then my bag
is from angela roy you excited b yeah can i find some good stuff yeah i'll
show everyone here you are so my t-shirt from
i don't know where i buy him everything she's my one shoe
okay from wait that we actually vlogged shopping for those shoes
yes great shoes yeah twenty-five dollars yeah great prices are my shorts from i
don't know where i don't know either but they're very
very stunning and beautiful and sophisticated you look
sharp ready to get all the shopping steal i
just got this new face mask which i think is perfect
it says this too shall pass which i know we are
all hoping for and it's this really pretty embroidery
i just got a caramel iced coffee
i love these shower curtains they're so beautiful i especially love this one
let's see how much i think so i just like how neutral it is so if you switch
it up oh wow it's only 25 seems like really
great quality
which one's your favorite bee i can't get it back on i love it thank
you i mean i'd be worried about getting it
dirty i guess but probably that one because
yeah so the shower curtain we have now because our master shower will be glass
so we won't need a shower curtain so we would just need it for
we only have two baths and then a half bath so
yeah decision
that's pretty like a salad bowl i love the studio mcgee collection
so many beautiful neutrals i also love this
candle it has so many different wicks look at that
you look comfy i really like this bench a lot
except i can see some stains on it that would be so amazing on the front porch
i want to get something like this for our pantry so i can put onions and
potatoes and produce like that that goes that doesn't
need to go in the fridge i think that'll be really pretty
they have good mirrors here oh that one over there is really pretty it's like a
sunshine
it's like rattan that's really beautiful actually
i love that 60 bucks it's so plushy oh uh oh the thing is
coming undone though see it's supposed to go like that oh but
it's so soft it's like the pumpkin one i have on our couch right now
bee loves kitchen gadgets he could spend hours just looking at all the kitchen
gadgets a lot of good stuff at target and focus but there's nothing
that we need to get right now but it's always so fun to just look around see
what they have the only thing that i would have
possibly purchased are baskets for our pantry because i'm just
trying to like map out how i want to organize it
and target did have beautiful baskets but there's really no rush and
anything i buy now i just have to find room to store in our tiny little
apartment so i need to hold off because i already
did get quite a few things but we did get a few snacks from target
because we are just we're a little hangry to be honest i did
not have the best lunch you didn't really have the best lunch either right
i mean it was okay but i did not have a very big lunch so i'm just
low energy and need a little snack so i found this
snack pack at target it has crackers almonds
berries and some cheese so i thought that was pretty cool i've never bought
anything like that from target and then while we were checking out we
got tankies which we have never had
joe's made kind of a knockoff of takis so we've had their rolled tortilla chips
with the seasoning and they're so good so
i'm pretty sure we'll love these these smell super similar they are so
fiery red i'll show you guys a close up in case you guys haven't had them either
and i also got some kombucha for later when we're at the house because it'll be
quite toasty because there's still no air conditioning or anything like that
and then we also got some blue tape because
we had some at home but i forgot to bring it but basically the plan
is to tape out the dimensions of the couch that we're thinking of purchasing
to see how it'll fit in our living room and see
if we have enough room for it or like how much of the room it'll take up and
stuff like that because you know it's hard to visualize without kind of seeing
the actual dimensions mapped out so that's the plan but we are pulling up
to lowe's right now so we will eat our snacks and then
pop in there
update the takis are so good do you think they're better than the
trader joe's ones i mean they're pretty much tasty
remember these might be a little better to me though
we needed this snack we needed it especially me you snapped at me
i snapped you snapped after me he was being so indecisive about the
coffee and i was just not i was
not very graceful with you
they have such pretty flowers and christmas has arrived oh my goodness
this is so magical i actually love loaves i love the smell and i love that
it's pet friendly so when we get a dog we can bring our pet
our dog with us on our weekend clothes trips which probably will be every
single weekend for a while because once you're a new homeowner i think
that's kind of how it goes it's like the rite of passage
i feel like brandon's gonna want to be in here forever
let us know if anyone has this lawnmower it's eco-friendly because it doesn't
use any gas or anything right what does it use the earth
no gas no oil no what fumes we're gonna need to look at the reviews
it seems too good to be true and it's very inexpensive it's only 99
which all the other ones wait that one's only this one's cheaper actually
but these are more expensive so it really just depends but we know nothing
so that's the protection um okay this is okay that is the least expensive it's
like a robo mower it's like a roomba for your lawn that's
awesome
all right here we are gotta find our washer dryer
yeah these are beautiful they're so shiny everything is so shiny
there are just so many options holy moly i know
they all look the same pretty much i like these handles
but i just love water and ice so i kind of need a ice machine
and handle i mean like a water dispenser right here
the best part of lowe's are all these beautiful plants
there's a pink lemon tree i have to look into that
these leaves are really beautiful i definitely would love a lemon tree
because i i love lemons we had a time in lowe's
i was a little overwhelmed by all the choices it was good to
visualize and see the fridges especially but the best thing is just going to be
to look at all the reviews and people's ratings just to find the
one that is most practical and works the best so that's the plan
but now we're headed to the house i'm so excited because we haven't
seen it well we saw it last week but they've done so much
so quickly yeah it changes super quickly so we're pumped
pick up these paint cards swatches that's the word we picked up
these paint swatches in lowe's so that we can see which one's
our favorite i'll probably have to look at a few more but
basically my plan with these is i would like to
paint our kitchen island a really light blue
so let me see which one i'm thinking is probably the best
i really like that one like super super pale blue
um this one's really pretty too this is more like a greenish one
um or we might go more of a light gray i don't know i really have to think about
it more but basically i'd like to add some wood
paneling to the island as well as a little pop of
color you guys i'm freaking out they've done
so much like wow okay so we walk in here let me
start from the beginning so we walk in and we have some of the penny tile
that's going in our master uh shower and then we just walk into the
back the living room and we have cabinets oh my goodness
i cannot believe it it's so surreal to just see it come to life like this
it's so wild so we went with these i forget what they're called they're
they're not shaker cabinets um they just have like these little
details and then the little um brass handles and then for
the drawers we have these oh my gosh
so crazy and then we'll have a wrapped um vent hood
right there and then this is where our sink will be
and our trash can oh no that's the dishwasher so this must be our trash can
i guess yep here's our trash can so crazy and then over here
we have our powder bath tiles so they already
laid it down but i think it is so beautiful
i love it so much it's like a little gray star
pattern i think it looks really pretty and so we'll have just a little sink
right there and then the toilet it truly is
mind-blowing to see how much progress they can make in such a short amount of
time i mean we were here last week and they didn't have cabinets
or tile or what else oh the paint on the outside
it's completely painted so crazy so we just have a white paneled
exterior so it's just completely painted which is so
wild this is the rest of our vent hood right here i just noticed so it'll look
like our cabinets but it's just like wrapping the electrical
part of it
brandon's the inspector he inspects every little inch
and nothing gets past him
hello friends welcome to tonight's episode of
allison's eats today just kidding but i can't wait to do lots
of cook with me in this kitchen it's gonna be really fun and you guys
just know i love cooking so naturally i love kitchens
all right time to go upstairs finally all right time goes by fast when we're
here
love love
but it don't make me happy it's not the reason my heart sees
watching the sunset from our home
we're in the car ordering dinner because it's already
7 40. so it's past our dinner time we usually eat a lot earlier but
it's totally fine we had so much fun mapping out and daydreaming of our home
and we even met some neighbors which was really awesome they were super nice
and they were kind of warning us that our neighborhood
kind of has a bat problem i guess you could say so bats
can get in your roof so they were just saying that make sure that the builder
seals in the roof really well because the bats will kind of squeeze in
and make that their little cave which kind of sounds awesome but
it's not because they can obviously they go to the restroom and they can just
kind of um make a mess so we got to make sure we
keep an eye out for that but i think that's really cool
where we went to college we had this amazing bat house and it was really fun
to see all the bats fly out every night around
sunset and it was just incredible and bats are
actually so important because you know the circle of
life they eat a bunch of bugs and help the
ecosystem so it's great but we don't really want them
in our roof so that was a good tip so we're just gonna
order dinner we're ordering from bonefish grill
can i probably get salad and salmon and all that good stuff
but i'm getting tired probably because i just need a nutritious meal
hello friends good morning it's been a couple days since we last talked well
30 seconds for you but a couple days on our end but we are
off to another adventure so i thought i would take you guys along it is pretty
early it's about 7 30 and we are going kayaking
and not just any kayaking but we're going clear
kayaking so basically the kayak is clear so you can see the bottom of the
water and we're going to this really cool place
it's in apopka florida and it's called rock springs kelly park yeah
lily park rock springs i'll put a little title of it right here but
we're really excited i'm not gonna take my camera with me because water but
i will take my phone and i try to take as many videos as possible so you guys
can see the beauty we're very we're thankful the
weather is looking really nice and beautiful um but i'm just really
excited i haven't done anything like this really i've been
kayaking before but not with clear kayaks and not in these springs
so it'll be fun
stay awake every night just to catch one more glimpse of your skin
when i look at the way you sleep
there are times i believe i can change and be the man just for you
like the flesh of the future
let the games begin
it was fun at the beginning i was like this is not what was advertised because
the water was super murky and it was like this amber
color it was super you couldn't see the bottom and the
whole thing is like clear kayaks so you know but it did get really pretty at
the end with that crystal clear blue water there wasn't
that much wildlife so we didn't really see too many fish or anything like that
but it's a good adventure we met some really
nice people and it was just nice to get out and get some
fresh air and explore our area because i mean it's
in florida and florida has so many beautiful places so it's nice to kind of
cross some things off the bucket list and start our day on the right foot
so that's it for today's vlog though we're just gonna have a chill rest of
the day i'm gonna hang out with my friend lexi and
i'll see you guys super soon
