hey it's Annabelle, welcome back
and I hope that you had a good week.
now that another has passed,
I really want to take
the time and do a little bit of
self-care, and unravel and just de-stress
a little bit.
so I encourage you to do that as well, along with me.
I've been doing these talking videos with no music
because I asked, and a lot of people
thought it was a good idea to just have
white noise or even silence- if you
choose to and then if you do feel like a
certain kind of music for your mood, then
you can put it on,
in the background of this,
so that way it's not me always
choosing like jazz or something in the
back. so really up to you it's currently
noon for me so the cloudy day means that
there's gonna be a lot of light coming
in and out all the time but
that's not a huge deal but just a warning.
you see here I have a cup of espresso because my
parents got me an espresso machine for
my birthday and I'm so happy and
grateful for that because,
it's actually what I need because I like to have a cup
of day now,
and instead of spending maybe
four five dollars a day going out,
I can just have it at home and I'll talk about
it or show you in a vlog,
what that looks like, and how I make it.
I set the Machine up yesterday morning
so this is my second cup.
and as you can see, this amazing mug is from my friend
Kira, last year for my birthday. and I
haven't used it until this year because
I never made coffee,
or anything like that at home so,
that will be a delightful regular routine for me now.
I try to just have one cup a day
because I don't want to be too reliant on caffeine or anything..
as you can see I'm tweezing my brows but there's not much to tweeze..
so I never need to go out
to get it threaded or professionally done I just..
pluck at the-
when I was in...
sixth or
second..
second??  seventh grade,
was the first time I ever wanted to reshape my
brows and my mom had this
random plastic tool what the little razor on the
end of it, and I couldn't wait- cuz she was in
the shower and she said 'just wait for me,
I will help you when I'm out'- but I
couldn't wait so I started like
oh, it was just a disaster.. but I thought I
looked good
i feel like we all do at our awkward stage,
but the whole point is you can look back and cringe because that just means
that you have...
evolved ?
thank you to all of the love support and friendship in
this community because you know I was
mentioning how I felt really tired,
and I asked how you were I got a lot of messages just checking up on each other,
and just updating me even if I didn't
respond I probably read it, and
screenshotted it because I wanted to I
want to save it and look back,
kind of like what I was saying about being really energy deprived despite sleeping
about
eight or nine hours a day...
some people mentioned that they feel the
exact same way and it's due to iron
deficiency, which probably was the case
because a couple weeks ago not only
was I on my period and then my boobs like hurt a lot probably as a side effect,
mabe the loss of blood also contributes to
iron deficiency?
remember this from last year- I'm still using it.
'would you rather have one wish granted today or have
three wishes granted in ten years?"
...ten years,
I can wait
I'm really bad at taking a whole bunch of these at the same time,
I have a lot of calcium
because my family has a history of like
weak bones,
but believe this one's iron
I'll take half now, and half an afternoon.
I have been a little bit inconsistent
in taking my multivitamin so that might
explain why..
I don't feel as a good? um
the only thing I take very consistently
is my fiber gummies
because it tastes like candy
very self-conscious because I
just brushed my teeth and I always have
coffee breath but
I wanted to talk about something new and hygiene
because ever  since I came back to school this fall
I've been using an electric toothbrush
and for the longest time I've only used
the regular ones that you get for free
from the dentist, or from hotels
and the last time I've used an electric
toothbrush was when I was in.. elementary school- my mom got me
a spongebob one
that is a different side story because I
was obsessed with spongebob but
that toothbrush was the kind where it has a
very big core battery you have to
recharge and plug in- this one is just a
toothbrush like this with a battery that
you switch out every few months when it
runs out.
the brand is quip, if you have heard of them- I'm very pleased to be working with them in this
sponsorship.
I've heard of them last year,
when I was in New York and I saw all
over the subway and everywhere,
ads for quip and my sister's friend started the subscription and just fell in love with
it,
and when they reached out I definitely wanted to jump at this chance
and I've been really enjoying this, I didn't notice this huge difference until one day when I was showering I used my
old toothbrush I was already in there
and the plaque
and just brushing is not as effective it just doesn't come off as easily without the aid of this subtle vibration.
also another thing that I like
about it is that it counts down
2 minutes for you every time that you
brush, gives 30 seconds to each side and
kind of pulses and tells you to switch,
and it made me realize I always brush my
teeth for like four to five minutes.
this thing I'm holding is a cover for it and the
reason why I brush my teeth out here
is because my sister's room is over
there with the bathroom,
and my rooms in
the living room so a lot of times at
night I don't need to go pee or anything,
I don't want to open the really loud
rickety door and wake her, so I brush my
teeth in the kitchen most nights so this
I have out here in a shower caddy and
this is really hygienic to cover up your
toothbrush in,
if I had a more convenient setup I would use the holder
the way it's meant, like this because the
back has a strip
and it adheres really easily to these smooth surfaces but it's not actually sticky,
so you can put on your tiles or a mirror but since I don't have that,
I just use it as a cap and
and this is really ideal for traveling
because it snaps in comfortably like-
so a big thank you to quip for coming into
my life,
comes in a little kit like this, that's toothpaste-
so if you're interested it's $25 to start and then five dollars for refills,
you know for hygienic reasons you want to switch out your bristles every three months,
they also ship worldwide, which is amazing
and I have 15% off for you down in the
link in the description for the first
100 people to use.
*sigh*
next I want to do a face mask because it's been a long time
I got eyelash extensions for a while so
I was too paranoid to wear anything on
my face,
but I fell in love with face
masks this summer.
this is from facetory,
it's like a little box subscription that you can get and they
kindly sent this to me over the summer.
I'm going to try out the aqua mask here-
I already washed my face,
put on toning,
this is 'intense hydration'..
*GASP*
oh !!
it's cold!!
*laughs*
but it's actually kind of
refreshing cuz it's hot in here today
this is full of whatever-
I want to put the excess on my leg
let me just check the time to make sure I don't go over this..
okay.
you're gonna find this really gross,
but a couple times when I use face masks-
especially like this it's loaded with
product, even when you have it on your
skin for like 25 minutes,
it doesn't soak up everything so I would peel it off,
and then give this side to Tyler because you can still use it
...so I would get 2 uses
out of it
while I wait, I'm going to do some nails-
so how perfect you know,
I set up all the stuff that I can I just-
I really enjoyed gel nails, and you know how I had it
when I went to Europe, I had like a
bright red color,
and it stayed the entire time so it was just great that I didn't have to worry about
any kind of ugly chipping during my vacation but,
on the last day before I went home,
I went into the pool and the water started to lift up some of the
sides, so they just all went downhill from there
I'm using madam glam-
you remember how I had this way back from
two years ago actually, so this is the same brand that
I'm using- I'm gonna do a soft pink today
and it's called delicacy.
*singing tomorrow never came*
this is sliding *laughs*
hmm..
beautiful.
in the last vlog, somebody asked what my skincare routine is like, if I prefer a complicated or
simple one, and I would say it's pretty
simple as of now..
I put on toner and lotion.
most of the time that's it,
sometimes I put on serums when
it feels especially dry... or
red- sensitive, if I have acne I like to use the one I've
talked about before from glossier,
and then I would use the acne spot treatment when I get pimples which is this morning
because I have one right here.
I'm sorry that this keeps dragging down..
not that it makes any more attractive when it's
like this
are you disturbed by this
image?
I don't know ?
is your parents like
walking in your room and then seeing
seeing you watching this video and they're like what are you doing ??
I don't know mom
what are you doing ?
this is the important part, okay- applying the color.
yeah..
the face mask can
come off now
while my nails dry, I'm letting the rest
of my face mask just absorb
into my skin
I'm just not gonna wear any make today,
I've been more and more inclined to do
that because it's just so much
more comfortable at the end of the day to not
have to take off my makeup and just kind
of
clean up and go straight to bed and
in terms of school and everything,
it's just starting to plateau out a little bit because it has been a month since
school started,
and you get back into the swing of things,
there's a routine that forms, so even though
I always have an overwhelming amount of work, it's easier to manage it now..
alright so,
that's the end of the video, thank you so much for hanging out with me I had a really
pleasant time filming this,
if you are interested in the quip toothbrush subscription I have
a link below for you
and the first 100 will get 15% off their
subscription purchase so,
I would hurry and go down there is right in the description
and other than that I hope
that you have a wonderful weekend ahead
of you, I'm certainly gonna try to enjoy
mine despite being
really busy with work, but it's stuff that I like to do so
that's my attempt to be positive
I'm gonna get dressed and head out for
the afternoon,
it was really fun hanging out and this vintage thrifted
PJ's, i'm wearing right now
I'll see you very soon
bye!!
-hold on, need to burp
AAAHHH
*tyler sees me and laughs*
*still laughing*
I turn around and I see the scene of beauty
