a productive week living alone | in my 20s diaries

previously on in my 20s i thought you

did live in your own apartment and i did

for two weeks so just to recap my

husband ryan is currently traveling

across the country to deliver a penny to

mr beast and raise money through feeding

america so i am here living alone for

the first time and since i've been doing

it now for about two weeks i feel like

i'm finally getting into a routine where

i can actually start to be productive

oh

good morning guys it's monday that's

gonna bruise because my butt is too bony

so we need to go to the gym and put some

meat on it

living alone again ryan's doing his

penny challenge i'm here

yes we are still married i got a few

comments that were like wait i thought

they were married though yes indeed i'm

gonna make today a get my life together

day because i actually have some friends

visiting me by the end of the week like

thursday and then i'm actually going

somewhere fun after that so i need to

get my life together a little bit like i

need to get back into the workout

routine i need to actually go grocery

shopping i need to do my laundry and i

want to read a new book so maybe we'll

go to barnes noble or we'll just read

what we have here of course yeah okay

let's go to the gym to trick yourself

into going to the gym just tell yourself

you're gonna go for like 10 minutes to

just do the easiest thing like i don't

know walk on the treadmill or something

and i successfully have tricked myself

every day of the week so far and it's

been great hey guys

i went to the gym 20 minute stair

stepper that is all kind of dressing

beachy today i used a new shampoo and

conditioner today and i really really

splurged on it okay it's the pureology

professional color care hydrate sheer

shampoo and conditioner these are so

expensive i think this was like seventy

dollars with shipping which is so

expensive and these are like not even

that big there was this viral hair video

that got put on my tic toc for you page

i watched the whole thing she was like

debunking myth and she was talking about

how if you have oily hair you have to

shampoo twice or else you're not going

to do anything and my hair has been so

oily to the point where if it's not a

hair washing day i just hate how i look

basically which that's pretty bad like

for every day to feel like that so i was

researching the best shampoo and

conditioner and this one is just the

most hyped up one on tik tok so i used

it for the first time shampooed twice so

i'm gonna see how i like it and i also

needed something that was color safe

because ever since going blonde and then

brown and then back to my natural hair

color which is like super dark brown if

it's not color safe then it'll go back

to that brown color and i hated the

brown color that my hair was oh my gosh

i wish i could erase that entire era but

unfortunately i did have that brown hair

color for a really long time but anyways

i actually forgot i need to finish my

passport stuff today and i really really

need to because if i don't i'm just

never gonna get a new passport it's time

for me to choose a new book i think i'm

gonna choose mary jane by jessica anya

blau which is one of the prettiest

covers i think i've ever seen my whole

life i didn't take you on my errands but

i did finish them i went to the post

office and i was met with an angel i was

praying that i would find someone super

nice to help me out because you are

supposed to make an appointment with an

acceptance agent who like witnesses you

sign your passport application but every

time i called it didn't work i just had

to show up and then the guy was so nice

he used his off time to help me and he

helped me for like 25 minutes and he

just he did everything for me and i was

completely clueless and i get so anxious

in those scenarios because in the past

i've just had bad experiences of like

not knowing what i'm doing and then

getting yelled at for not knowing what

i'm doing which makes it worse because

then i'm just nervous and he was so nice

and i was like do you have a venmo or a

cash up like this man needs to get

tipped for working overtime for me so i

got his cash app and he's a little angel

so shout out to that man at the post

office and then i went to fedex and i

shipped it off so that whole passport

thing is done i think i don't actually

know how it works um i think i should

get a passport in the mail i don't know

this adulting stuff is very new to me

but i think i accomplished something i

think and then i ate fireball cafe and

now i am exhausted it's 1pm and i just

have that midday slump i guess so i'm

going to read a new book or i'm going to

read the bible and or update my planner

we will see what happens and i'm going

on a hot girl walk later with my friend

karen so that will be very fun

okay you can really tell i'm settling

into living alone if you see me pull out

my planners and my journals and my books

this is literally me in my prime i'm

just planning my life i love doing it so

much and it inevitably makes me more

productive because first the motivation

is just to make my planner cute but then

it becomes that i want to actually make

what i wrote down come to life so i

noticed my entire week was different

because i was actually using a planner

again and making to-do lists because

that takes out the decision-making of it

i pick it up after reading two chapters

in my book now we need to do laundry and

i really want starbucks

[Music]

i got my starbucks it's a good one they

gave me tons of vanilla cream cold foam

and now i'm going to clean finally i'm

going to fold my laundry put it up and

then clean downstairs a little bit and

then it'll almost be time for my hot

girl walk and i also might film a book

video we'll see how many hours we have

in the day

karen is also going to help me film a

brand deal of sorts i have an instagram

reel due tomorrow it's gonna be so funny

like the video is not gonna be funny but

the product that i'm promoting is so

funny it's like good it's a good product

but i just can't believe like the

concept of it so go to my instagram and

see if that reel is out because you'll

know what i'm talking about it's a tech

gadget

[Music]

okay i know i told you to go to my

instagram but i just have to talk about

these it's not sponsored for the video

but these are amazon echo frames and

their sunglasses but there's a speaker

so you can listen to audiobooks or

spotify or what like whatever you want

or podcasts while you're just wearing

them but you're not wearing headphones

and i'm just like messing around with it

listening to stuff and it is the coolest

experience like i like it more than

headphones this is crazy like this is a

game changer for hot girl walks are you

kidding me and i was worried they would

look stupid but they actually look good

like i would buy a pair of sunglasses

that look like this i love these these

are actually life-changing also i just

had a fire quiet time it went brazy if i

say so myself

[Music]

i uber eats some sweet green i wanted to

grocery shop today but the old meals

that i was making that i knew were like

easy to make healthy ish i'm sick of

that so now i don't know what to make

which means i need to spend a bunch of

time watching what i eat in a day and

then usually like half the things that i

see and what i eat a days i don't like

because i don't really eat vegetables

like i don't eat salads i don't eat i

know it's so bad me and ryan are both

like this we literally don't eat

vegetables i like broccoli i've

discovered that i like buffalo

cauliflower from trader joe's but they

didn't have it in stock so yeah pretty

time consuming so for today we're doing

this

okay here's my hot girl walk outfit i'm

just gonna say hot girl outfit no hot

girl outfit um this is the set active

package that i opened in a previous

video and i not worked out without

wearing an extra large t-shirt maybe

ever so

if i wasn't filming this brand deal then

i probably would wear an extra large

t-shirt but let's go hot girl walk

here's some goofy behind the scenes

clips of the girl walk and that night

had to rep the old penny t-shirt spock

looking at his fodder sleeping with an

entire load of laundry on my bed but

morning came forth and it was time for a

new to-do list

good morning little girlie pop i checked

off yesterday's to-do list so satisfying

and then i made today so many comments

in the last video were asking me what

planner this is this is what a week

spread looks like it's literally been my

favorite planner for so long i'll show

you a blank month there's so many pretty

illustrations it just looks like this

plain but so cute but the illustrations

in it are super cute it's from the

website ban dot doe but i have a link to

it in the description if you want this

specific one it's got a different design

on the front but it's the same planner

anyways i kind of have a lot to do today

i'm going to do things but it's well

okay i don't know why i'm putting myself

down i do have a lot of things to do

today but i get to do them it's not like

i

i don't really know what i'm saying i'm

gonna go to the gym and then i'm gonna

come back and get ready i've been trying

crumble cookies on my tic toc account

and it's a new week so i need to try the

new one so i need to like go to the gym

and go home put my makeup on and fill my

little tick tock and then i have a

sponsored video do as an instagram reel

so i need to make that those are like

priority and then after that i just want

to finish my laundry because as you can

see i slept on my bed which is actually

very cozy and comforting there are so

many other things i would like to get

done like i would love to organize all

the drawers and stuff so that when ryan

gets back he can have a nice little

surprise i can't even make a grocery

shopping list because i don't know what

food i want to make so i feel like

that's a more pressing issue we're going

to address some of those things today

[Music]

guys you might be looking at me like

haley what are you doing are you cooking

are you in the kitchen yeah i know it's

crazy i was watching what i eat in a

days while i was stare stepping and i

was like wow i love watching people cook

well that's actually the first time i've

ever said that this is really funny

because yesterday i was like god please

let me fall in love with cooking serious

prayer like completely legit praying

that and would you look at me today i

was like i love it's so satisfying and

calming to watch these people cook one

second oh freaking fracking why is it

stuck i did oil oh no one of them

survived but look at me now i actually i

really want to fall in love with cooking

i think if i just watch enough content

of it then i can get obsessed with it so

if there's like a cooking youtuber i

should watch let me know

i mean imagine this ryan comes home and

i cook three meals a day

he'd be like what did you do while i was

gone

not too shabby guys would you look at

that

is this the easiest thing you've ever

seen in your entire life yes but for me

this is a big sleigh so i'm gonna

congratulate myself big time on the

small wins so that i want to get to the

big ones you know what i'm saying

[Music]

i actually just finished the sponsored

thing that i had to do and i dropped off

something for ryan because he is in town

but i only get to visit him for like an

hour at a time because he is obviously

on his grind and then i decided to do

some fake nails olive in june sends me

them all the time and then i posted a

tick tock trying the crumble cookies i

really took my rage i don't know i'm

feeling very angsty today i really took

up my rage on these cookies so people

were like this review was a bit dramatic

don't you think i'm like yeah i know my

caption literally says sorry for the

sass but yeah all these cookies sucked

except for this reese's peanut butter

cup one so i'm gonna eat this while i

watch ryan's new video i'm sorry if i'm

coming off sassy okay some days i just

wake up and i feel angstier i need to

have a dance party to like let it out a

little bit anyway

okay it's time for me to finally finish

my pile of laundry

[Music]

just like i am dreaming

putting up laundry is becoming so

frustrating because i have no room and

it's because half of my closet is taken

over by winter clothes so all of those

are hoodies and i'm gonna take that bin

up there and store them away so we're

gonna do kind of like a seasonal closet

thing right now i've been needing to do

this for so long

wait this is so sad i just filled up the

bucket and then realized it's too heavy

for me to put up alone so i was about to

just go call ryan to do it but he's not

here for me

cool well now it's stuck back here

that's good

oh gosh i used to do crossfit i should

be able to do this

i did it i got it up there i almost died

and i did it that was actually probably

really stupid because if i would have

fallen over no one would have known it's

actually so bad what if i knocked myself

out and fell over and no one was around

and i was unconscious i'm gonna finish

rearranging and then i'll give you the

tour okay i'm done my closet is just

gonna look like a mess regardless

honestly but look at all the stuff that

i put up there and then i cleared out

some more space for summer clothes to

happen so like stuff can go here and

there's space here and here and here and

my shirts are all out and yeah there's

just some more space some places for me

it makes sense but on camera it looks

like a mess but all of these i had to

take out because they were sitting in

the bin and i actually want to use these

to organize drawers downstairs so i'm

just going to put them down there and

see

i'm probably not going to do it right

now because i just did that i'm kind of

being a productive queen right now i

mean

i feel so productive and accomplished

after randomly deciding reorganize my

closet i put some of the drawers

downstairs and like lightly organize a

tiny bit they still look messy but i

think i showed you guys that i started

this book yesterday and it's so good i

already got to page 200. so i think i'm

gonna just try to finish it it's really

short it's only like 300 pages but this

is the perfect summer book i'm trying to

read books outside of the romance genre

because i'm kind of sick of it and this

is just a literary fiction book which i

usually never pick up it's set in the

70s yeah 70s and it is so good well i

was definitely happier and more

productive in this episode and i did get

to visit ryan correlation causation

perhaps i don't know y'all see you guys

in the next episode

[Music]
