Good morning guys. I hope you're having a good morning. I'm just getting ready just got out of the shower
Did something quick with my hair cuz I could not be bothered and today is gonna be like a
Chilling at home cleaning up the place kind of day, my husband just left for work
And he's gonna be out tonight with his friends. He's not gonna be home till later so got the place to myself figure
I'm gonna tidy it up and get all those fun chores done
It's a good chance to do that so if you guys are up for chilling at my house for the day with me
Stay tuned for the rest of the video before we head out to get this day started
I wanted to mention something very important March is
Suicide awareness month in Japan and I know I have lots of viewers over in Japan that are either working
Or going to school, and if you guys ever feel like you need somebody to talk to there is actually an english-speaking
Lifeline in Japan called tell I will put all the information about them down below, but if you're ever feeling
Stressed or upset or depressed or lonely and you want somebody to talk to you
No matter what the reason, please give them a call
you can also text them if
You are like me and you feel it really anxious about talking to people that you don't know on the phone
It's really nice that they have a texting option as well, so I will put all the information down below in the description box
Please know that that service is available to you and please please do use it if you feel that you need to
All right guys. Let's get this day started. I got lots to do (laughs) our first
thing on the to-do list is to go grocery shopping, and I've actually been like putting this off for the past couple days because
This sounds really stupid. but I'm really nervous about going grocery shopping by myself
Because when you go up to the till they ask you a bunch of things do you want this delivered your house?
Do you need a bag do you have a point card? and
I
Never understand what they're saying and I don't know how to reply even if I do understand
So I'm just worried that I'm gonna make like a total fool out of myself when I get to the register
But that's silly and I should just not care and go for it so today
I'm gonna do that I'm gonna go grocery shop by myself for the first time here in Korea, so
Oh my god. This cat got hair all over my leg, so that's what we're gonna
Do that's first thing on our to-do list and I'm gonna
I'm just gonna go for it, so let's head to the grocery store
I survived guys, I survived the grocery store
It was slightly a struggle like I imagined she asked for my phone number for their point club
And I was thinking about just being like uh no. I don't have points
Cuz I would have a lot easier, but I was like no
I'm gonna try I told myself
I would try today so I read her out my phone number and it took about three tries
Until she could understand what I was saying
But I think she got it right so I think I got some points
Anyways, I'll show you guys what I got so I wanted to grab some
Interesting-looking snacks to bring back to Canada with me for my sister. They have these pokeballs. I don't know what's in them
They say strawberry flavored. I don't know if they come with toys or stickers
I have no idea so that'll be fun to open with my sister, and then I just got like a selection of
fun-looking snacks
These ones I know my husband likes, so these must be good never tried these before they look like some kind of citrus flavored
Pocky type deal and then
No idea what these are and then tonight. I'm still deciding what to make
I think I might just do some pan-fried tofu and
Veggies so I got this cuz it looks like it's for pan frying, right? yeah, hopefully this is the right kind
and then i got some peppers
Soy milk you guys recommended me to get the Maeil one apparently
This is the only one that's vegan
And I'm so glad you did because this actually tastes way better than the other one that I've been drinking so yay
And it's actually the cheapest one. It's only like a
1700 Won (currency) and then I got a bag of greens, I'm gonna steam these
They looked really yummy this chard. I don't know I think it might be
And then this kind of looked like kale. I have no idea whatever It is I'm sure it's healthy.
(laughs) I'll steam it up with some little bit of soy sauce maybe
And then I got some beer for my husband they sell asahi beer here he likes this one
And that's it my grocery store adventure is over. Oh, no I lied I also got this
It says man on it, but I really wanted a cold tea, and this one look the most delicious
So let's try this man tea
Not quite sure what it's made out of. want some man tea maro (cat) ?
Mmm-hmm
Don't know what it is kind of tastes like corn tea, but it tastes a little different
Hmm well if you can read Korean
That's what this is
It's still hot out there you guys it went from winter to almost summer like that. I think it's over 20 degrees today
I feel like it's gonna be sweltering summer heat
Any day now I'm not looking forward to it luckily I get to escape to Canada in a few days
So I just got a message from my friend Nicole, and she said she is at the recycle store
And she found these one-piece figures that I have been looking for
for my husband forever
The Nami and the Sanji are really rare. He has the rest of the set, and I've been trying to find these last two
To complete this set for him, and I couldn't for like the past couple years, but Nicole found the other recycle store
So she's gonna get them for me. Thank you so much Nicole. That's so awesome
I'm gonna surprise him with them when they get here. He's gonna be so happy
That's such a relief. I had given up and I was so sad cuz he had four out of the six
These are the ones that he has now so he'll have the Nami and the Sanji, and it'll be all complete
That's so satisfying
so I'm just sitting here at my computer because I want to get back into my
Get fit program now that I'm all settled in here in Korea
I was kind of taking a break from it like I wasn't eating unhealthy or anything really, but I wasn't trying actively to lose weight
So I really want to get back on track now
They're all settled in and I have some time to focus on it, so I was thinking about doing like a one-week
cleanse kind of thing to like
Restart my body and get rid of any like sugar cravings cuz I notice when I don't eat anything sweet for a week
Then I'm good like I don't even crave it anymore. I've seen lots of videos like I tried the IU diet or the
Some other k-pop idol diet, and I thought I would do one of those, but I've been looking at them
And they're so unhealthy you guys
the IU diet is one Apple for breakfast two sweet potatoes for lunch, and then a protein shake for dinner and
apparently it only comes to like 400 calories, and that is not a
healthy amount of
calories to be eating in one day you should have a lot more than that so I'm not gonna do one of those but I
Thought maybe I would just do like
One week of only eating fruits and veggies and not limit myself to like a really low calorie count or anything
Just eat when I'm hungry
But only eat really healthy stuff like fruits and veggies for a whole week kind of clear out my system
So I'll probably make a video on that and share the whole process with you guys
See how it goes my biggest struggle is like craving carbs and craving sweets
So this will be a challenge for me if I can do it
You guys can do it
Will probably start when I get back from Canada because I'm leaving soon, so yeah look forward to that
Maybe you guys can do it with me. I'm currently sitting here snacking on
this
giant bowl of kumquats
I'm not going to eat them all so they're super sour and my mouth starts to burn after about four I
Got this huge bowl of them
This is after I ate a bunch and I got this huge bowl for like three dollars at the supermarket yesterday
Alright guys unfortunately, it's time to get some cleaning done. I'm gonna start with my least favourite one good thing about these
connected
all-in-one
Washrooms that it's super easy to clean
I can just kind of like take a cleaner and spray it all over everything and
Let it sit for awhile, and then come back and scrub it so that's what I'm gonna. We brought lots of cleaning supplies from
Japan because we had our favourites that we really liked over there so shipped a bunch over
Hello (Luna)
Help me
Okay, so my goal is to get this like grimy colour out of the grout
Hopefully it will be white by the end of the day
ok
i'm gonna let that sit for like i don't know half an hour or something
20 minutes later, it looks better already. It's kind of white. I'm gonna scrub it
It's not bad it's not as clean as I was hoping for it's not perfect
But it's a definite improvement next stop is dishes. I seriously hate doing the dishes so much you guys
All right, I think that's enough cleaning for now taking a break should we make some dinner? Maybe I will try making some dinner
Really, hope this ends up being kale and not like some kind of lettuce
So it would probably be pretty gross if I fried up lettuce
guess we'll find out
Just added a bit of this
Cracked pepper it's like a mix of different
peppercorns, it's so yummy. I've been missing out my whole life using black pepper. This is so much better
I found it on I herb and the reviews were just amazing so I figured I'd try it I can see why it makes your
Food taste a million times better than when you just use regular black pepper, so if you're into fancy pepper. I'll link it down below
This smells really good. I hope it taste as good as it smells.
Let's try one of those kale-like things.
.. so I'm slightly worried.
Hey, that's pretty good
Still don't know if it's kale or not but
Mmm. It's really yummy. I mean look at the tofu. It's so golden mmm
Damn that's good
That's some good tofu. I bought some new powdered peanut butter I'm dying to try it
so I'm just gonna eat this small dinner for now and then make a
Make a shake later
try out my new peanut butter
mmm this is soo good!
Okay, can I show you guys something really cool. I've actually been using it to study Korean this little device here beside our TV
it's called a Giga Genie and
It's for like controlling your TV. You can ask it questions like what the weather is and stuff
It's like the Google home basically like the Korean version of that
I've been learning how to say phrases like turn on the TV put on the music channel
tell me the weather for this week and stuff like that and
It's helped me learn a couple of phrases, so I really like it. It's fun Giga Genie
turn on the tv (korean)
Yay
Okay, let's ask it to turn on the music channelGiga Genie
Show me the music channel (Korean)
It worked
Isn't this fun
I love it so the best thing is that you can ask it to play any song
it knows a good majority of songs or you can give it an artist and it will just continuously play that artists music if
You don't have a subscription like the monthly subscription that you have to pay for every month. I'm not sure how much it is
I'm considering getting it though because I like it so much if you don't have a subscription it only plays you the first minute of
each song, but it's still kind of cool. So let me show you Giga genie
play me g-dragon's music (Korean)
Isn't that cool
And it'll just continuously play
G-dragon's music, but just the first minute of each one because we're cheap and haven't paid for it yet
But it's so neat like you can say anything Giga genie
Play Twice's music (Korean)
So cool
All right guys. I'm gonna chill here with the cats for a little bit and watch the TV
Hopefully pick up some Korean
I like watching Korean TV shows cuz they put the they put quite a bit of what they're saying
At the bottom of the screen in Korean subtitles so I can kind of read it
Alongside of hearing it which I think really helps for picking up vocabulary and stuff. Smoothie time, okay, so
This is the powdered peanut butter that I got it's called PB 2 and
It's basically just like a low-fat low-calorie version of peanut butter cuz it doesn't have the oil in it. It's just powdered
And this is my new protein powder
I've never tried this one before
But I saw it on iHerb and because I usually love all things made out of hemp. I figured I'd give it a shot
Alright, it's all blended. It's very green the hemp protein powder was
Super green, but it smelled like hemp seeds
Which is great because I love the taste of those so if it tastes anything like hemp seeds
I'm gonna love it alright the moment of truth. Is this just as good as real peanut butter or anywhere close
Hey that actually tastes exactly the same
Mm-hmm okay a huge thumbs up to this stuff so for two tablespoons of this. It's 50 calories
1.5. Grams of fat 5 grams of protein and
This is what I'm used to use in my smoothies or 2 tablespoons of this. It's a hundred and eighty calories
15 grams of fat, holy crap 7 grams of protein
so
Yeah, this is really cool. Pretty freakin awesome
You can get it on I herb if you're unable to find it in the stores anywhere also
I can't taste this protein powder at all and this just tastes like my regular smoothie, so
Cool, I'm so excited. I love both things that I bought
Mm-hmm I'm gonna enjoy my smoothie and probably study a bit of Korean I can edit this video
And then I'm just gonna go to sleep because tomorrow. I'm gonna meet up with Eunice. We have a girls day planned
We're gonna go for a walk around the Han River because the weather is supposed to be really nice tomorrow
And we might watch a movie. I don't think I'll vlog it
I think I just want to like enjoy my time with her and chill, but I will see you guys soon for another vlog
I'm sure thanks so much for watching bye guys (waves)
