good morning everyone today is a big day over here it is nursery organization day so I'm
currently waiting for Horderly to arrive they are the personal organization service that you
might have seen me working with years back when I was at Refinery 29 I also worked with them in
my last apartment to put together my kitchen and my fridge I've basically been just like throwing
items into this baby's nursery over the past few months so anytime something comes I unpack it and
I just like shove it in the closet or put it in the drawer or leave it out on the carpet and today
and tomorrow are my two days with quarterly when we are going to be assembling the entire nursery
and I just could not be more excited also let me put you down here one of my biggest fears has been
that I'm going to just go into labor before this day I don't know why I was so nervous
that all of a sudden the baby was just gonna come and his room wouldn't be organized and ready
which I was prepared for I know that's like step one in parenting is you know your baby's gonna
come when they're ready I've heard from a lot of people that's the time when parents realize that
they can't control anything that happens with the baby so I was honestly prepared for him to come
and for this day to not go as planned I even was up until 4:30 in the morning last
night because I was having braxton hicks contractions and I was confident that my
water was going to gush out but it didn't the child is still safe and secure in here
I even put on this nine months non-toxic belly tattoo today because I am nine months pregnant
today's organization video is sponsored by ollie pop which is a healthy soda brand I'm not gonna
drink it right now because it's about 8 30 in the morning but I will show you that at some
point in the middle of the video so wait for that all right pancake time Laura my content
manager is coming over to record and film this day with me and I'm going to make us pancakes
gluten-free baking and pancake mix
so Laura is highly allergic to milk dairy butter all those products and this looks so good
I knew that and so when I was making the pancakes I made sure that instead of using
butter in the mix I used oil and then instead of using butter on the pan I used coconut oil
and then I just decided to check the batter to make sure that the batter like the mix itself was
dairy free and it contains milk there's buttermilk in it so now I made three
huge pancakes and they're all for me I'm not complaining but I do feel kind of sad for Laura
who thought she was coming over for pancakes okay well anyway here's my breakfast
say hi
now
okay I've got a whole bin of these teethers here some are like pacifiers some are wooden things
everything that's silicone or like plasticky I'm about to rinse and wash off before giving
it back to the Horderly crew I did a whole load of laundry to wash all the baby's clothes before
we started putting it all away but it's also important for me to think about other
things that he's gonna put in his mouth so gotta rinse all this stuff and now it's time for lunch
I'm just prepping a lunch for myself and I'm actually going to have a vintage cola Olipop I
never really cared too much about my gut health until actually 2017 when all of my gallbladder
issues arose so I got my cholecystectomy my gallbladder removal surgery in 2017 and ever since
recovering from that I just had a new approach to taking care of my health kind of holistically but
specifically my gut health and what I'm eating and what I'm putting my body and my microbiome just
everything going on down here there's prebiotics in here which is basically the stuff that feeds
all of those good positive microorganisms that are living in our guts I'm gonna pop up on the screen
right now kind of all the details about Olipop if any of this is you know what you look for
when you are looking for a drink brand the things that are really appealing to me on this list are
the fact that it's low sugar every single can has between two and five grams of sugar as opposed to
the amount of sugar that's in typical soda brands which is usually over 40 grams per can the vintage
cola which is my absolute favorite has two grams literally as opposed to a coke which has like let
me google it coca-cola sugar content 44 grams of sugar in a standard coke the other things that are
really important to me are that it's high fiber gluten-free I'm obviously celiac so gluten-free is
very important to me the fact that it has nothing artificial and the fact that it just tastes really
good so I want to show you a few of my favorites I'm drinking the vintage cola right now these
are my other two favorites cherry vanilla and classic root beer when I was young and growing
up I was just a total soda monster anytime I went out for pizza which was on a weekly basis I would
get root beer or cream soda or coke as an adult specifically since the gallbladder incident I have
not done that anymore and I pretty much haven't had a regular soda in maybe five years but once
I discovered Olipop I started adding this into my diet as kind of like a healthy alternative
to soda and something that I know not only is it delicious and I'm getting that cold refreshing
coca-cola taste in my mouth but I'm also getting prebiotics and helping my gut health at the same
time so if you want to try Olipop you can go to the link that you're seeing on screen i'll also
put it down below Olipop.com Lucie and the code is Lucie all caps and it's going to get you 20
