Hey guys! It's me, Jenn, and I'm back with an episode of Favorites
Because that's what we do here on YouTube.
We like to reflect on what we liked last month at the beginning of each month
So let's dive into my first favorite!
I'm gonna start off with these star earrings
If you have been watching any of my videos in September, you've seen these guys make many appearances.
These are from Style Nanda and they were backordered when I got them online
But I waited a full month and they finally came
and they're totally worth the wait!
I feel like they add that perfect little sparkle for any outfit
I probably would have won these star earrings for my look today
but then I'd really be decked out in star jewelry
For example I have this star ring from Mejuri
This has not left my finger since I got it, so it's been maybe 3 or 4 months?
Someone thought this was an engagement ring
It's not, so I had to switch it to this hand and it made it more casual.
Another star jewelry piece that I've been loving has been this choker.
This one is from Amarilo.
I feel like it's my gonna be my mission to find more star jewelry.
In September I found a fragrance that I've become obsessed with.
This is Beach Walk by Maison Martin Margiela and this smells absolutely divine.
This is actually a gift that my friend, Emily, gave me for my birthday
So that was very sweet of her.
It was actually a really good catch because like every time and we would go out
We would go to her house. We'd pre-game for a little bit
And before we'd go out, I'd always ask if I can spray this from her perfume collection
And I guess she caught on and she got it for my birthday and so that was really sweet she remembered.
This is a really fresh and sweet scent.
I'm just attracted to smells like this even though it's supposed to be like a "summer scent"
I believe the website said that it had hints of bergamot, coconut, and lime/lemon.
This smells so bomb, you gotta sniff it the next time you're in a department store.
So while I was vlogging Jenntember, a lot of you guys had questions on what equipment I used to vlog
I thought that September Favorites would be a great way to address this question
So this is what I use to do my daily vlogs. I know it's a lot
But I've come to terms that this is my preferred setup.
So first off, we've got the body. This is the Canon T3i.
This is the very first DSLR I've ever gotten so it's been through a lot.
I got this probably in 2011 so we've seen some stuff together.
The game changer is definitely the lens. It's really long so I'm just gonna pop it on the video.
But this is a wide angle lens and this is what makes my vlogs look like you're seeing everything.
Because this type of lens lets you see more of the environment.
This lens is not good if you want that blurry background though
It's not gonna give you that nice, soft, creamy background.
This is just gonna show you everything as the way it is
That's personally the way I like my vlogs to look like
And on top of all this setup, I have this tripod.
This one is by Manfrotto and it's this little baby one.
This just gives me the extra height that I need sometimes and also it makes
it easier to set up when I'm out in the field. I don't have to balance it on anything
because I've got this lovely little tripod.
This setup is very extra.
This is NOT necessary to make an amazing vlog.
You can use your iPhone even to make a great vlog.
It's really putting your own spin to it. It's a lot of the editing.
It's a lot of the actual content that you're creating if that makes sense
as opposed to the equipment that you use. So long story short that is what I used to vlog.
For my movie favorite, I have Ghost World.
This has been on my to-watch list for years and years and years.
It's one of those films you always see on Tumblr, but at the time it wasn't on Netflix.
and I don't know how to use torrents or anything or illegally download.
I get so scared about all that stuff. I'm so lame. Anyway this was finally on HBOGO.
So I was like, "Yes! This is my chance to finally watch it!" and I did not regret it all!
It's such an amazing film and no, this is not a scary film by any means.
If anything it's like a dark comedy so you're definitely gonna get some laughs in.
It's about a pair of best friends. They're very cynical, apathetic teenagers
that just graduated high school and this is the summer where they're just kinda figuring everything out.
and entering adulthood.
Hands down, one of my favorite parts of this film was the costume and set design.
Everything was on point like the little details, the outfits, the props, the color schemes
It all just blended in so well. It was their own little world
and I really respect that.
I was very inspired. I think one day I kind of want to do like a Ghost World inspired lookbook.
Another thing to add to the list of things I need to do, but it left me feeling really inspired.
and I think you should definitely check it out!
My last favorite is not a thing, but actually my living, breathing, beautiful daughter...
Cheeki!
She came into my life on my birthday. She was a gift from my manager, Ashley.
Literally I can't talk when she's here because I just am in awe of her presence
Ben and I have been dog sitting for a couple of months now especially Mochi
who is Ashley's Maltipoo and after dog-sitting
It made me want to have a little furry companion of my own.
I understand that this is not just a trend or something that I can put away when I'm bored.
This is like a 10 to 12 year commitment. She's probably gonna meet my kids when I have them.
That's just an insane thought to think.
This is my first time having a dog so I've been doing so much research.
Luckily Ben has grown up with dogs so I mean that that helps me out a lot but
But for all the puppy training stuff, I've been reading so many articles
watching so many YouTube videos. If you see my YouTube history,
it's all about puppy training. We've actually scheduled an appointment with a dog trainer
on Thursday so hopefully she can lead us the correct path.
I feel like Cheeki has really milked out all of my motherly instincts
She makes me so incredibly happy
It's so awesome getting to see her personality develop every single day
I can't wait to show you guys more of her.
She's only 3 months old now, but I've heard like the 4-5 month stages are
is when they start teething and they get a little outta control.
It's like the terrible twos for dogs, right? But I'm ready for the worst
If you guys have any tips on puppy training, feel free to leave it in the comments below.
Let's get that doggie discussion going!
Okey doke! So those were my September Favorites!
Honestly I'm a little sad that Jenntember is over, but I think in October
I'm going to have like some sort of Outfit Diaries thing where I'll film outfits,
but also kind of vlog bits of the day. We'll see how that goes
But definitely not vlogging every single day because it could burn you out if you kept on doing it.
So I'm gonna vlog in moderation and then you guys will get Jennglebells
which is when I vlog every day in December so do not worry!
If you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up!
Leave me a comment if you'd like to tell me any of your favorites or just wanna say hello!
I'll talk to you later! Bye!
