Transcripts
good morning guys welcome back to
another Vlog today I am committing to
filming a grad school diaries for you
guys I saw over the weekend by the way
my mirror it's right over here so sorry
if I'm not looking at you but I saw over
the weekend that my school content
playlist passed like 1,000 views and I
was like I got the message you guys want
the school content because last year
when I was in law school I filmed so
many like dedicated law school Vlogs and
now that I switched grad school I feel
like it's a little bit harder to film
because like this morning I'm doing 3
hours of observation as the first step
towards my teaching license I have to do
30 hours this semester but I can't show
any of that because it is little kids in
their school and I can't show that so I
feel like I've been hesitant to film it
but I can tell you guys about it and I
can film the rest of my day doing
assignments all that type of stuff so I
am really going to try to film a grad
school Diaries today for you guys as I
said I'm getting ready right now to go
to my observation School the first step
towards my like preliminary teaching
license is to do 30 hours of observation
so I'm going to be there from 9: to no
this morning do three more hours and
then today is the last day of the 20%
off Sephora sale so we're going to go to
Sephora on the way home which has
nothing to do with grad school but you
guys know when I film a grad school Vlog
I film my entire day whether it's like
specifically you know doing homework or
observation or whatever or just stuff I
do that day because because especially
when I was in law school like the number
one question I got was how I manage my
time and how I'm able to like do YouTube
and have another job and be in grad
school all at the same time so I started
getting in the habit of just showing
everything I do in the Vlogs because
that's a way to show like how I split up
my time in the day how I like do YouTube
and have another job and I'm in grad
school and just how I manage my time and
make sure I'm dedicating enough time to
all of those things so that's the plan
for today's Vlog welcome back welcome to
another school Vlog I know it has been a
long time so thank you guys for being
patient thank you for being here I have
30 minutes to finish my makeup and curl
my hair so I'm just going to Montage
over the rest of this and I will
probably catch up with you guys when I'm
on the way to my observation
School
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
oh
[Music]
okay I have 9 minutes till I have to go
I just finished curling my hair except
you guys know if you've watched my
recent Vlogs this exact comb it's from
Amazon it was like $4 I'll link it is my
secret to being obsessed with my curls
because I want them to look very like
brushed out and just loose like I don't
you know I don't want them to look like
how we all used to do them in like
middle school so I just brush stra
through them and I love them so I will
link this comb I don't know why I wasn't
doing this before probably you guys are
like yeah we all have a comb like we've
all been doing this but I wasn't and I
just started doing it and now I'm
obsessed with these like just loose
flowy curls and it's just any curly iron
with a clamp and then that comb so
anyway I will link that let's do a quick
outfut of the day okay I went very comfy
today because I am just sitting there
for 3 hours I've never worn leggings to
observe before and there's no like dress
code for observing I just try to dress
kind of like a teacher but I felt like
it was okay with this sweater because it
does like go down super far so I don't
know I feel like it was okay to wear
leggings so I'm just wearing this huge
cozy oversized sweater from free people
and I folded the sleeves I love when the
sleeves are long enough to do that I
feel like it makes extra cozy and then
just Lulu leggings little Ralph Floren
socks and then I got these new Uggs this
weekend I haven't showed you guys these
yet I was wearing my platform Uggs
almost every day so I got them in a
second color Macy's was where I found
them still in stock because I feel like
they're sold out everywhere but I got
these Uggs anyway I feel very comfy and
cozy and I finished with a couple
minutes to spare so I'm going to head
out and then we're going to observe for
3 hours and then we're going to go to
Sephora and there's a Lulu right next to
the Sephora so who knows and then we're
going to come home we're going to have a
productive study and work
afternoon
[Music]
hi besties I was going to say good
morning but it's not morning anymore but
I finished my observation I got three
more hours done and I even got some
clips for you guys which I did not
expect to be able to do but basically my
main observation is in a third grade
classroom but my sister-in-law also
teaches at that school I'm not allowed
to do my observation with her because
we're related and the cooperating
teacher has to like fill out some forms
for school but I go to her room to do
extra like observation when my main
class is away like today they were at
Art so anyway I showed a few clips of
her classroom and now I am going to the
Sephora sale like I told you guys
there's a Lululemon next door so you
never know um but I'm going to run into
Sephora and Lulu and then we'll do a
haul when I get home also I'm going to
go grab my favorite protein shake
because I'm starving and I have to take
care of my dog first things first when I
get home so I'm not going to be able to
make lunch right away so I want to make
a little bit of food oh my gosh I see so
many girls with walking out with Sephora
bags right now it's the last day of the
sale anyway I'll stop talking just
wanted to tell you guys a little bit
about the observation and that we are
headed to do some
[Music]
shopping hi besties so obviously I I am
home now I took care of Kobe changed
into sweats and ate lunch and I am going
to give you guys a haul I got a bunch of
stuff especially from Sephora and I'm
going to give you guys a haul but it's
2:05 right now and I really want to do
some homework and then use the haul kind
of as a steady break so I have so much
to do not nothing's really do at any
point I just like really like to be
productive and put a lot of things on my
to-do list so I have all the previous
footage from this video to edit which
I'm probably going to start with I have
some notes to prep for a work meeting
tomorrow and I have some homework to do
I don't have anything do today or I
don't even think do tomorrow but I just
don't like to let it pile up so I want
to sit right here get probably some
editing done maybe homework done maybe
notes for my meeting I don't really know
what I want to do after I edit but I
just want to get some things done before
I sit down and do the haul so let's have
some nice productive time and then we
will get to the Sephora and Lulu
[Music]
[Laughter]
[Music]
haul
okay I got everything in this video up
to this point edited so Kobe and I are
here to give you guys the haul from Lulu
and Sephora as a little work break
before we get back into studying and
work so I got so much stuff some from
Sephora because of the 20% off and I
definitely grabbed a few extra things in
the checkout I really wanted the Tom
Ford Foundation stick because I've heard
that it's like super super good full
coverage but I asked and they said they
don't carry it in store it's only online
so couldn't get that guys is the
lighting weird I don't know I feel like
the lighting is a little bit weird
that's why I keep I keep moving around
cuz I feel like the lighting is a little
bit weird but whatever you don't care
how I look you care about the stuff so I
grabb this quick at the checkout I have
been getting colds a lot because I'm
working in one school and OBS and
observing in another right now and I'm
around little kids and older kids just a
lot of kids all the time so I need a
hand sanitizer to put in my backpack for
every time I leave the school I also
committed and got the full size of the
24-hour brow Setter by benefit if you
know you know I got a sample of this
from revolve and it lasted me for like a
month and it's actually still going
although I think it's almost done but I
wanted to get the full size because I
did really like it I do feel like it's a
pretty strong brow gel which is what my
personal preference is so I got a full
size of this I got The Hourglass
translucent setting powder I have to
change my camera battery 1 second okay
we're back with a new battery what I was
going to say is especially in the winter
I worry about making my face and my
makeup overly dark and like orange
because I have less of a tan so I don't
want to use a colored powder I just like
to use a translucent so I got the hour
glass translucent powder I got a couple
impulse things at the checkout first is
the mini daily brush cleaner spray it's
just the Sephora brand um I have been
cleaning my two main brushes my
foundation and concealer brush everyday
because I noticed such a big difference
in how it Blends my makeup when they're
freshly clean and when they're not and I
hate when my makeup looks cakey so I've
been washing those two every day so I
just grabb this little mini daily
cleaner spray and then I grabbed the
summer Friday mint balm I've heard a lot
of people talk about this I love the
summer Fridays lip balm so I got the
Mint one to try and then I got my
regular nighttime moisturizer which is
the drunk elephant poly peptide cream
I'm not out of it I just figured I go
through a lot of it it's been my pretty
consistent night moisturizer and I might
as well get my next one when it's 20%
off so that when I run out I don't have
to pay the full price for it so I got
that I also got a new Mas mascara I had
not bought a mascara for a long time
because I had too many of them and I'm
finally starting to run out I got a new
one to try it is the extreme lash
mascara by hourglass I just thought it
would be fun to try a new one I do love
the Dior show iconic that I've been
using for a long time but I thought it
would be fun to just kind of use this
sale to change up my makeup routine and
then the last thing I got is just a
nesser lotion again not out of lotion
but I just use a ton of it in the winter
and thought I might restock while it's
on sale so I just got this lotion I use
lotion like crazy all winter I live in a
very cold place and the air is very dry
so that is everything from Sephora oh I
lied no it's not because So lately I
have been doing like a full makeup of
liquids and then basically full powder
to set so I do translucent over my
foundation and concealer and then
bronzer to set my liquid bronzer and the
only thing I was missing was a powder
blush to set my liquid blush and I
really wanted a nice wintry color so I
got the Dior powder blush in Rosewood I
also just started watching Pretty Little
Liars again and I feel like it's a sign
so this is the shade I thought it was a
nice kind of warmer wintry color okay
now that really is everything from
Sephora from Lulu I got a couple things
I have one fleece Scuba but when you
live in somewhere as cold as Minnesota
you can never have enough so I got the
white flee scuba in the biggest size
they have I wish they made an oversized
style of this but they only do the like
kind of cropped one so I got it in an
extra large SL extra extra large and I
still don't feel like it's big enough
for how I want it to fit but it will be
nice and warm and cozy then I got two
shirts to wear for working out that just
aren't cropped sometimes especially
doing like yoga and stuff when you're
all bent over I don't feel like wearing
a crop top and that's basically all I
own which is my own fault this is kind
of a new thing for me not always wanting
to wear like just basically a sports bra
one is a tank top in this really sorry
guys it just got really sunny so the
lighting is changing sorry but one is
this tank top in this really dark like
chocolate brown color which I just love
this color for fall and winter and then
one is a long sleeve in their like
traditional shirt but it's just a little
bit shorter than normal not cropped but
it just won't have so much bunching at
the waist so that is everything from
Sephora and Lulu and I have like a
million things that I would want to get
done for the rest of the day it's like
3:30 I'm going to be at home for the
rest of the day I want to take my makeup
off and shower obviously at some point I
got a new desk chair like the one where
you can sit crisscross applesauce that's
very teacher phrase I guess but I don't
know the one where you can sit
crisscross applesauce for my desk
downstairs because that's how I sit all
the time and it makes my legs fall
asleep in my desk chair because whatever
I got a new chair and I'm very excited
about it you guys will see it if I build
it I want to do more editing I want to
prep my notes for that meeting work
meeting tomorrow I want to do some
reading for my class Wednesday night I
don't know I oh I should make the bed I
want to wash those two makeup brushes
guys I have no plan I'm just ranting to
to you a list of things I want to do so
all that to say I have no idea what I'm
going to do for the next couple hours
but I want to be productive so cue a
productive Montage of me doing
[Music]
something
[Music]
oh
[Music]
m
okay
besties I did it and now I can sit like
this and there's no signs I will link
this chair for you guys I love it I'm so
happy I'm going to be able to do
meetings like this it was I want to say
like 125 150 which is not an
insignificant amount of money but for a
piece of furniture it is not very much
and it's Sherpa so it's super soft so I
will link this I feel like this is a
huge upgrade I know all the girlly sit
like this I also sometimes sit like this
with only one leg crossed but I always
need to be able to have a leg crossed so
I'm super happy about this chair and
what else did I do oh I prepped my notes
for I'm meeting tomorrow and I made the
bed so I want to do a little bit more
homework maybe some reading for my class
Wednesday night and maybe do some more
editing of this video video and clean my
like couple makeup brushes I think
that's it for the list today at some
point I have to eat dinner cuz it's
almost 5 but I'm very proud of myself
for my chair will actually comes home
tonight so I definitely could have
waited for him but I'm very impatient so
I did it myself anyway that's my update
I want to put this in my office and I
will link it and we're probably going to
go be productive but like also reality
check I'm probably going to wait to Vlog
more for like an hour probably going to
feed the dog take him come outside feed
myself and then we will get into like
editing homework and cleaning my makeup
brushes so remember to give yourself
breaks I am not doing all this without a
break it's just I don't really show the
breaks because it's literally just me
sitting on a chair eating food and like
watching Dance bombs um but take breaks
I take breaks everybody takes breaks you
