good morning guys welcome to vlogmas day
20 we're into the 20s it's only five
more days till Christmas I still not
done all my Christmas shopping how are
you guys doing with your Christmas
shopping are you all done are you like
me and you're probably gonna be like a
couple days late with a few people
hopefully they don't mind usually when I
send presents back home to my family it
takes me a while to get them prepared
and then they end up getting there late
so hopefully they don't care it's like
having two Christmases right so I don't
think it's bad thing
so today keyboards on really wants to
eat the tacos that we bought at Costco
yesterday so we're just going to run to
the grocery store now and get some
veggies like we have most of the
ingredients using the cup pepper and I
might be it actually I think we just
need a pepper so we're gonna grab that
and we're going to come back and make
tacos for lunch I'm gonna make the
guacamole first I'm using two medium
sized avocados some chopped garlic you
can use garlic powder of course if you
have that salt and pepper to taste and
I'm going to chop up some of these
pickled jalapenos and put those in there
but those are also optional they will
just add a really nice flavor to it and
a little bit of spice and normally I
would I had lemon juice and I'm really
sad that I didn't have a lemon I thought
I did
so definitely prepare some kind of
citrus whether it be a lemon or a lime
either of those will work
you
okay let's move on to making the
imitation meat filling for the tacos I'm
going to be using dicen el Oni coup by
dices level it means soy meat and it's
the minced type so it looks like just it
looks exactly like ground meat and the
texture is very similar I really like
this one for recipes that call for
ground meat it's just perfect
they flavor it with miso so it's got a
slightly salty flavor but basically
it'll take on the flavor of whatever
sauce or vegetable as you put in with it
so it's really nice I'm going to add in
a banana pepper and chopped up some
shiitake mushrooms just for some added
nutrition you don't need those
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I cut up some yellow pepper and some
lettuce and then we're going to use the
taco shells from the package and the
medium taco sauce you could also use
like trickier wraps I would be really
good actually
new Anna it smell good
[Music]
now I want to show you guys some of my
favorites on I herb I get that question
all the time because I'm constantly
mentioning products that I get on there
I herb sent me an email saying they're
having a 10% off sale everything on the
site so I decided I would make an order
today and show you guys some my fave
products if you click my affiliate link
down in the description box it will
automatically have the 10% off coupon
code inside it so you guys won't have to
enter it up the checkout you can sort
the foods really specifically so if you
click on grocery you can go down here
and they have them divided up like this
into categories but what I really like
is if you go down here specialty you can
check all these boxes so if you're
looking for gluten free and check that
box if you're looking for gluten free
and vegan check that box and that means
that all these things that show up here
it will be gluten free and vegan so you
can go through here and check everything
that applies to you let's say you're on
a raw vegan diet you want to go down
here and choose raw vegan and this is
what you have left isn't that cool
that's so handy so I just care about
things being vegan at the moment so I
always click that and then I go through
your I freaking love this ketchup I am a
ketchup addict and this is delicious
this is so good I really love these
peanut butter & Co peanut butters they
have lots of different flavors and oh
god you guys this granola is just heaven
if you look at the reviews they're all
like you need to try this granola and I
love reading reviews on things so I
always go through here and read the
reviews and after reading the reviews of
this I was like oh man I need to get
this granola and I tried it and I can
see why people love it it tastes like
dessert though can you see there's like
berries in it there's also chunks of
chocolate rather sweet I really like
having it at night like a little Bowl as
like a dessert type of thing so I just
scroll through here and out all the
items that I definitely want to my cart
these are so good you guys really
delicious
it's great for like dipping in guacamole
or even just eating by themselves
they're so yummy there's so many foods
to look at 22 pages just a vegan stuff
so it's really fun to just look through
here and think of things that you might
want to add to your diet this is new new
for the holidays pumpkin spice peanut
butter that must be so delicious oh I'm
so tempted should I get it
ooh this sounds so good coconut chai
green tea this is one that I definitely
repeat by I love these noodles and it
makes such a quick snack Eunice
microwave them so good oh my god are you
serious raspberry Earl Grey tea this was
made for me oh my god I hope also has
tons of really nice beauty products I'm
looking for a new face cream
so I'll just look through everything
I'll go to vegan and just see which ones
have good reviews this one has over a
thousand reviews and it's still as four
stars let's see they say about this
apparently it evens out discoloration
and wipes out blemishes that's nice
looks like it's a pretty thick cream I
think I'll give this a shot my skin has
been really dry recently which is really
weird for me I've never had dry skin in
my life so I'm not quite sure how to
deal with it but I'm gonna try this out
it looks good alright I'm gonna finish
my shopping and I'll be back to show you
guys what's in my cart before I check
out
I am trying this mandarin orange
flavored tea from Lipton this was part
of a like selection of flavored teas in
this box from France what my friend sent
me thank you so much these were the most
delicious teas ever I really enjoyed the
whole box this is what the box looks
like I don't know if this is limited
edition or not it's as designed by Kengo
kada this is the list of all the tees
that it came with oh yeah it does say
limited-edition no I want all of you
guys to try these some of my favorites
were the vanilla caramel and also the
lemon tart that was so good keywords
son's favorite is the five red fruits no
wait that says tea not the five red
fruits tea he really liked that one it's
not like strawberry just like they were
all good though I was so amazed by every
tea in this box if you guys can somehow
get your hands on this do it you will
not regret it
all right I'm all done shopping I am
gonna try out this for the first time
earth science eye makeup remover
chamomile and green tea it had really
great reviews people said that it was
great for getting your makeup off and I
didn't leave any residue or anything and
it was great for sensitive skin which
sounds awesome for the eye area so I'm
gonna give that a shot all that you guys
know how it is and this is a new one
which was very intriguing to me
it's greens like it's powdered
vegetables but in a chocolate flavor so
there's lots of cocoa in it and
apparently you can drink it cold with
like soy milk or your favorite kind of
milk and or you can make it hot into a
hot chocolate and still get your veggies
in for the day so I'm going to try that
out I thought that would make like a
yummy breakfast anyways this is the
protein powder that I get all the time
Sunwarrior classic protein I like the
chocolate flavor there's also a vanilla
one and my favorite yeast flakes I
really like these the now brand also
comes in a powder and not a flake but I
prefer the flakes I don't know why I
just I like them better I guess I like
the texture maybe the flavor is very
similar but I like the texture of the
flakes if you're not familiar with why
people use nutritional yeast flakes
they're actually a great source of
protein as well as they add a very
cheesy flavor to foods so if you want to
cut dairy out of your diet but you miss
the cheesy flavor this is a great way to
add that into like pastas and soups and
yeah whatever you would want like a
parmesan cheesy flavor in and I'm going
to try the derma e firming DM
a moisturizer this also had very great
reviews and everyone said it's really
moisturizing so I think that'll be good
for the cold winter weather I had to get
this oh my god
raspberry Earl Grey tea yes this was
made for me I cannot wait to try that I
think I'm like most excited about this
one
my fave instant noodles Thai noodle soup
and pad thai and I was going to get this
one but I decided to remove that and try
the raspberry instead because that
wouldn't just sounds like my favorite
flavors combined and these late July
Crocker is like a replacement for Ritz
crackers this is my favorite like veggie
soup broth it's called not chicken so it
imitates a chicken soup flavor I think
it adds a really nice flavor to
vegetable soups my fave chips corn chips
so yummy my favourite NOLA with
chocolate and berries all you guys need
to try this oh my god this is just like
heaven in a bowl so these are the things
I'm going to order today I hope that was
helpful for you guys and you got some
ideas of new new foods to try our beauty
products whoo keyboards on made us
dinner
this is topokki I don't know how to say
didn't like properly in Korean but
that's how they say it in Japanese is
that that's what I don't like heard it
said all the time but it's basically
like chewy rice cakes that's what these
are made out of rice and like a spicy
red chili sauce and then we added some
of my ramen noodles in and some tofu
balls and some green onions and regular
onions and then I think that's about it
really yeah we should good okaaay
I wish I could get used to spicy stuff
it tastes really good but the amount of
spice is just a bit much for me so it
kind of ruins it
I've got both the COTS with me for Q&A
time today no no come here never mind
there goes Luna ah Luna is being so
hyper I just changed the bedsheets and
she gets really excited about sheets I
don't know why when she comes to cuddle
with us at nighttime she'll start
attacking the sheets and at first I
thought she was attacking the flowers
like she thought they were bugs or
something but she does it even if it's a
single colored sheet all right Mauro
it's down to you and me being a help me
again ah what are you looking at see
yourself you see yourself it was really
interesting to see the names that people
call house coats around the world I
think someone said in England they're
called dressing gowns in Canada if you
said dressing gown I would think of like
a slip that you would wear as like
pajamas like a dress shape like a light
fabric definitely wouldn't think of a
thick row but I don't know what else I
call it I've been a housecoat Oh
Mauro's had enough all right I was not
having this cue a Eskimo draws asks what
Japanese food no matter how much you try
to like it you still dislike it there's
a couple but they all have something in
common so it's the texture about them
that I don't like it's those sticky
foods that kind of have the texture of
like snot okay not dough um okra yeah my
mo are the three that come to mind
really sticky and light I don't know how
to explain it because I don't mind
sticky food so it's not that they're
sticky it's like they're slimy and
sticky simultaneously it's just not a
texture that I'm used to and I don't
know if I'll ever get used to it because
I do try it every once in a while and
try to get used to it because I know
that it's really healthy for you so if
you can get used to the texture then I
recommend eating those things because
yeah I'm sure they're great for you but
I just can't do it
unfortunately let's see you guys are
asking about what makeup
I'm using recently I've been trying to
switch up my makeup routine to cruelty
free stuff so I've been playing around
with lots of different products I'm
gonna like my new favorites that I found
down in the description box today so if
you guys want to know what I use on my
eyebrows um and my eyeshadow and my lips
then I will let you know other products
I'm still trying to search for a good
cruelty free one so if you have any
recommendations let me know play fer
asks what's behind the names keyboard
Sun and elbows on well keywords on my
fiance we call him that because in the
background of one of the vlogs he was
like mashing at the keyboard and it's
not only one of the vlogs if you go back
and listen to my vlogs you'll hear
keyboard mashing in many of them I'm
sure so that's where he got his name
keyboards on the computer playing games
that involve mashing the keyboard and
taylors elbow son is because in her
videos you can often see his just his
elbow in the frame of the shot so that's
where he got his name from Luna you want
to be in the QA come here nope
Samira asks are you staying in Japan for
Christmas yes
this year I will be in Japan we're
planning a trip in January we're not
sure where yet but I want to go
somewhere new with keyboard Sun for like
a short vacation so we're trying to pick
a place probably somewhere not too far
away because I hate planes haha so oh
you guys no but I will be here for
Christmas yeah and Zed Zed n or n ZZ and
for all you Americans asked are there
any laws against downloading movies like
do lots people still write movies
because I said we rented Sadek over
Siskel last night um lots of people do
still rent movies yeah I always see lots
of people in the store when we go there
are laws against downloading movies in
Japan pretty sure it's illegal lots
people still do it of course but I've
always enjoyed going to rent a movie
because it's just easier for me instead
of having to look it up I'd rather just
go to the store and look through all the
movies and I love reading like the I
love looking at the back covers of all
the horror movies and reading like the
summaries and stuff I don't know I've
always just liked going to the movie
store so we still did that
yeah you can definitely still download
movies if you want however I think it is
illegal here on the subject of Sadako
versus Kyoto I actually was pleasantly
surprised by it after watching the
trailer I thought it was going to be one
of the worst horror movies of all time
I'm very disappointed with how they
designed the trailer the music was
horrible at least the one that I watched
it sounded like action music and they
were like fight scenes between Sadako
and kyaku and it just seemed really
cheesy and like one of those really
horrible horror movies that might be so
horrible that it's actually good because
it's funny but to me that just looked
horrible so I actually wasn't expecting
much when I went into the movie but I
was really pleased with how the movie
went it was nothing like how I was
expecting it was like your typical
Japanese horror movie really like quiet
and slow-moving story
um the actors were great except for a
couple of them a couple them were kind
of cheesy and it kind of like threw me
off of it but most of the octaves were
amazing and the okay the ending was
strange I want to say that I don't want
to give any spoilers away for those of
you that haven't seen it but the ending
was weird and I think they could have
done that better but overall it was
definitely a lot better than I was
expecting and it was entertaining so
yeah I think it's worth a watch all
right guys I'm gonna say good night here
please give this video a thumbs up if
you enjoyed it it really helps my
channel out a lot if you didn't like it
you can give it a thumbs down as well
and I will see you guys tomorrow
