- Good morning, good life.
I try to just start these videos now
in the most humiliating way possible.
I have a very good reason for having eye patches on today.
What are these called?
Like, eye pads, but not like the digital kind?
I guess they're called eye pads.
Today is the book
shoot
cover
day.
I couldn't have said that any slower.
I think I was just making sure I got all the words (laughs).
Hair is first this morning.
My makeup artist is gonna meet us at the shoot location,
because we're kind of getting a really early start today,
and I'm excited.
We have a number of different things we're gonna do.
We're gonna start at a hotel that's downtown,
a hotel I'm a super big fan of.
I've done multiple photo shoots there,
and they're just a huge supporter of me.
Whenever I call, I'm like, "Hey,
"I need like a really cool location to do something."
They're like, "Yes, you can come."
So, they're just always amazing,
and that's my friends at Leveque.
So, we're gonna head over there first, Leveque Tower Hotel,
and then, we are gonna go over to 400 West Rich,
which is more of a creative studio,
and do some more like standard shots,
you know, like in front of like,
kind of like this, like a white backdrop.
This is just the blinds on my window, though.
So, we'll do something more style-y at the hotel,
kind of classic and cool, and then head to the studio
and do some other fun stuff.
I have multiple outfits.
I'm pretty sure I know exactly what I'm wearing,
but like you know how it's like,
you don't want to be caught in a situation
where you don't have backup outfits?
I'm one of those worrywarts, so I have probably over packed.
More importantly, I need props.
Last time
I... did... a book,
I had probably what I'm holding in my hand right now,
except for a three-year-older version,
which is a vlogging camera.
The front of my book had me and a video camera
on the front of it.
It was very self-explanatory.
It was a pretty easy cover to shoot.
We had to get much more creative for this one,
so I'm excited to see how that turns out today.
I think I need to text Corrine,
and tell her to go to Kroger,
and get like the biggest lemons she can find.
That's what I think we need, big lemons.
I think we can do without this now.
It's been 15 to 20 minutes.
Are my under eye bags gone (laughs)?
Probably not.
It does feel better though.
It definitely feels like
you can go about your day now, Amy.
Lucy, I'm gonna need your support today at the daycare.
While you're there, be thinking of me.
Just subconsciously tell me to smile or something, okay?
Okay, same page.
(upbeat holiday music)
This girl's making the planner that's gonna go with my book.
- [Autumn] Do you like the shape of it?
- I'm excited yeah.
- I'm like really particular about
how I
like my layers to look.
- Yeah, same.
Like the thing is,
like it needs to be like relevant.
You know?
- Is your book done?
- It's um going through the editing process.
It's like the end of the editing process.
I still had to write some other pages,
like about the author,
and acknowledgments and stuff like that.
- When are you going to have it out by?
- December 10th.
- That's like pretty quick.
- It's really quick.
It's like holy crap fast.
- How long have you been working on this?
- Um, I wrote it in August,
I mean, like I've been like working on
the content of it for a couple years, but like
the actual writing I did in August.
- [Leigh Ann] Oh wait you have all these playlists.
Do you want one of yours?
Happy Hits!
(upbeat music)
- Happy hits, sounds like just the place to be right now.
(upbeat techno music)
Shout out to lavendaire,
I'm using your journal in my photo shoot.
This was the Ariana stool challenge.
Okay, it's very hard (laughs).
(upbeat techno music)
Be one with the lemon water.
(laughs)
- [Emma] Oh that's cute.
- Okay. (laughs).
(mumbles)
- On three.
(camera clicking)
(upbeat techno music)
- Oh my god.
Okay, I'm very excited that that's done.
(laughs) I'm not gonna lie.
It might seem like I liked getting my photo taken,
but it is very hard.
I'm not like an inherent smiler.
It's not something I do.
I have to practice really hard to smile.
And I also prefer to do like a little smirk.
Can't do it now of course.
I like to do a little smirk.
(laughs)
I don't like to smile.
I think that,
even though we took you on this journey today,
and I'm so glad that the girls got to be a part of this.
I think it was like really fun for all of us,
to kind of like,
be creative,
and you kind of saw Emma, my photographer,
jumping in there.
I'll probably introduce you to her another time.
But I'm very excited to actually share the cover with you.
Because it may not be
exactly...what you think it's going to be.
But, that took a lot of decision.
I mean like there was so many things that I wanted to do.
There were so many ways I wanted to present,
like what does "Good Morning Good Life" mean to me.
And what does it look like.
How do you make that work on the cover of a book,
where you don't have a whole YouTube channel,
that can help convince people of it.
If somebody's just discovering this concept for the
first time it's really hard to like
show them what they need to see.
In order for them to do it.
To want it.
To try it.
So, anyways,
I'm really excited to share the book cover with you.
I can't share it with you yet.
Obviously!
Because we just took the pictures.
But as soon as I can I'm going to show it to you
because it's going to be really great.
Or at least that's what I'm hoping for!
I hope you think it's great, oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh, I'm just like a mess over here.
Look at this.
I really hope that you think it's gonna be great.
(laughs)
Cause it was definitely tough to figure out
what to do in that situation.
It was like do you do the same thing you did the first time?
Do you do something different?
How do you tell the story?
It's still something I'm questioning,
but I think we're going down the right path.
And I'm very much looking forward to this little thing
showing up on your little Instagram feeds.
Like oh there it is again, wow.
That was literally the most fun part.
No it wasn't.
That was partially that was the fun part at launch,
was like seeing people buying the book,
and taking selfies with it and stuff like that.
That was so fun!
And then I was like oh my god, people are actually reading
the book, and like seeing what people thought about it,
and what they wrote about it.
That's actually the fun part,
but when you first start,
it's like I got it and you're like holding it
or you like take a flat lay or whatever.
And I'm just like oh my gosh,
I just can't wait to give you something
you can do that with, cause I think that'd be fun.
And by give it to you,
I mean you have to buy it on Amazon (laughs).
Sorry, it's very misleading.
False advertising!
Okay, I think we are going to leave it here.
Because I need to remove all of this makeup,
and relax!
Maybe have some ice cream, that'd be good.
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,
and go after the life that you want.
Cheers.
- [Amy] 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.

And scene (laughs).
Subscribe.
(mumbles)
(laughs)
My hair is literally falling down right now.
Girl!
Get it together.
- [Emma] Two, three.
- That was better, we caught it.
Yay!
