(relaxed jazz music)
- Today is a laundry and cleaning day.
(jazz music)
Alright guys I am finished cleaning, for now.
I vacuumed the entire house, I wiped down the surfaces,
I cleaned the house because today
I'm having some friends over.
I feel like whenever we have guests
it's just a good excuse to clean the house.
But, yeah a bunch of my high school friends are coming:
Jon, Breann and of course Sarah! She is in town.
For those who are new here, Sarah is my friend
that I started the channel with
for you OG subscribers, you already know who she is.
But, yeah she lives in San Jose so every time
she comes down, we try our best to see each other.
And it's gonna be so nice to just be reunited.
She's coming in like 20 minutes
so I'm actually removing some nail polish.
So basically I got a gel manicure two weeks back
and I picked out this red color,
thinking that it was more of like a true red
but it's actually more of a orangey-coraley red.
And I just wasn't diggin' it so
I went in my nail polish collection
and I re-painted it this dark navy color.
But now that it's chipping it's starting to look kinda weird
It looks like hot cheeto residue.
So I'm just removing that first layer off
and just making all my fingers red!
It's like a magic trick.
So yeah, I'm gonna do the same with this hand
And then I'll be ready fer, I'll be ready for my guests.
I have the entire house to myself
because Ben is in San Diego.
He's at a music festival with a bunch of his friends
and I believe Foo Fighters are playing
and that is one of his favorite bands;
definitely his favorite drummer.
And so, yeah he's out there and he's having a good time.
I'm here with Chippo and I'm gonna
have some company really soon.
Yay, Cheers!
(jazz music)
Balloons, check.
Hey everybody, so as you can tell
I have just been rushing around town.
I am gathering all the things
I need for Ben's birthday weekend.
His birthday's on Friday
but the celebrations start tomorrow.
And he has no idea.
He thinks I am shopping for Halloween costumes right now.
So, (laughs)
So I got the cake, and I got the balloons
and now I am dropping all of this off at Bern's house
because tomorrow I am surprising him
with a stay at the Beverly Hills hotel.
I got us a room there and I have never stayed there.
It's like one of the most iconic and most beautiful hotels.
And it's pet friendly so we get to bring Cheeki.
So tomorrow morning I'm just going to tell him to like
pack his bags and just drive him there
so that's going to be exciting.
We've got dinner plans at nine pm at the Polo Lounge
and while we're at dinner I have told all our friends
to go into the hotel room;
Berns is gonna bring all of this stuff
and they're just going to set it all up
and I just can't wait to see his reaction
it's gonna be so satisfying.
I just, I love planning other people's birthdays.
It's like way more satisfying than planning my own.
I'm just so excited to see his reaction
because he is one of the most important people in my life
or probably the most important person in my life.
He has done so much for me and he's transformed my life
and he's given me a love that I've never had before
and I've had a lot of great loves in the past
but nothing can top his.
It's not a competition but he's just the one
and something about his energy
and his presence that makes me want
to become a better person and, I don't know
if you're watching this, babe I fucking love you.
You are, you're the one! (laughs)

I believe the last clip you saw was us at the Broad
at the Yayoi Kusama exhibition
That was honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen
in a really, really long time.
I love The Broad museum because they don't half-ass
any of their exhibitions, it's freakin' nuts
and I feel so blessed that Flaunt Magazine and The Broad
invited us for their private preview
it meant so much, I highly recommend you go see it
I can comfortably say
that Kusama is probably one of my favorite artists.
Her work is so immersive, meticulous
and I just really like everything she stands for.
I didn't know how prolific she was with her work.
She started in the 60's and she's always been standing up
for things that she believes in
whether it's: free love, women's rights, gay rights
She's always been very vocal.
I highly recommend you go see it.
It is on til January 2018 so
definitely go check it out if you can.
Oo, I uploaded my "How I Lost 15 Pounds" video
That video's doing really well
and I wanna thank everyone who has watched it
and left such positive comments on it.
I am so happy to help anyone
who wants to have just a healthier lifestyle.
(jazz music)
(laughs)
Hello it is four days before Halloween it's Friday.
James is preparing for his show
where he'll turn into a skull!
(drums, guitar and flute plays)
- [Jenn] Alright, are you ready for the big reveal?
- Yes
- [Jenn] Okay
- I'm scared
- [Jenn] Open your eyes
- Whoa! This shit looks good!
- [Jenn] You like it?
- Yeah looks cool
(jazz music)
- What's up guys it is Monday.
I am currently on my way to the Eggie shoot
We are shooting the product shots for drop number two
very, very excited to see everything on somebody else
I found this model named Jawni
She was modeling for my friend's clothing company
and I was like oh my god, I'm obsessed.
And so she gave me her contact
and now I'm going to meet her!
It's gonna be really awesome getting to see
an entire new collection like this.
This always makes it feel more real for me.
It's gonna be awesome seeing my Eggie team
And just, you know, get to work.
(jazz music)
Hello, so from the last clip you saw
that Ben and I went to The Empty Vase
to look at some flowers for our wedding.
Wedding planning is in full force
and I honestly thing that's why it's been extra hard
to vlog this month, I've just been like wearing extra hats
like I feel like just my responsibilities
for my channel is quite hefty
and now I've added obviously Eggie and now the wedding
so it's like three different components
that I'm like splitting my brain into.
So back to the flowers, we went to the Empty Vase
and they are my favorite florist
I am so happy to be working with them
because they make beautiful arrangements
and the color scheme we're going for is like
white, coppers and greens
so just kind of like ethereal, earthy and beautiful.
Next week I am gonna be trying on some dresses.
That should be really fun.
I've created like a Pinterest board
of different dresses that I'm into
and I'm noticing a pattern, a lot of off the shoulder stuff.
Honestly I didn't use Pinterest at all until like this year.
Because obviously I had to do some boards with Eggie
and now especially for the wedding, it's insane.
I also see the appeal of Pinterest as well
because it's so nice to see all the images
that you have on your mind like on an actual visual board.
So I get it, I get Pinterest now.
So today is Halloween
and I am just going to be staying in editing.
I've got a bunch of deadlines due tomorrow.
This weekend we went out
so I feel like Halloween is already over
because I celebrated Halloween on Friday and on Saturday.
So I'm just like done.
This is the costume that Ben and I had for Halloween.
We are Wayne's World and Cassandra
who is the original OTP.
If you guys haven't seen that movie, please go watch it.
Also, if you guys didn't know,
Ben started his own Youtube channel.
I am so proud of him.
He already uploaded his second video.
If you guys haven't checked out his channel
please hit on the cards or the description box.
I will leave everything down there.
Other than that, I'm just going to continue on editing.
November will be a better month because I think
I'm starting to get a better grasp on everything hopefully.
Okay, well I guess this is my cue to go
I wanna thank you guys so much for watching
and I will see you guys in the next one, bye!
