Getting Myself Out Of A Rut (Very Chatty Self Care Video)

All right so in today's video you're just going to be watching me, get myself together, meaning my hair brows nails all that, because if you follow me on instagram, then you know that i recently moved me my boyfriend at our own place. Finally, so super excited about that boom in the midst of moving y'all hair has not been washed. Eyebrows are not done our pits or because i got ta, you know all of that stuff. I got ta get myself together. It'S been too long. I'Ve been letting myself kind of, like you, know, just kind of get into the swing of things, but my girl. Now you got ta hurry up because it's been too long like i said i just got done working out, i'm about to finish my protein shake and i'm about to hop in the shower real, quick, wash my hair and then also on today's schedule. I need to wax. I need to do a whole skincare routine, like a facial type thing at home. I ain't got no nails on. I got ta wear some nails, my toes and busters we're just gon na figure it out. So let's get started all right. You guys so really quickly. I want to give you guys a little bit more backstory, so i know in the video i mentioned like the reason for all of this is like due to me moving and everything like that, although that is true. Another part of it is just me going through personal things in my life, and that resulted in me not taking the best care of myself and i feel like when you look like what you're going through. That makes things worse. So that's when i was like you know what korean you got to get up. You got to do something because i, like i'm, someone who likes to do those little things for myself. I like to keep my hair down. I like to get my nails done, but i was just drained on energy and everything of that nature. So i you know i make it a priority. So now here's me making it a priority. You guys this whole thing took me about a month spaced out because, like i said, i just don't, have the energy for it really, but i'm trying to get back to that. Yes, i just want to give you guys that quick disclaimer, so i really hope you guys enjoy the video. Thank you so much for watching, but not only that. I'M talking a lot in this video you guys. So this is a very chatty video just wanted to give you guys a quick disclaimer either you like it or you don't, and if you don't listen, it's perfectly fine with me. I appreciate you guys so much for watching. So, let's finally get back to this video, i hope you guys enjoy all right. So i'm back, it's been like honestly a month since i filmed that previous clip. That clip was filmed like may 12th when i started this whole process, but now it's june, 7th and eyebrows are still not done: hair. Okay. So after i finished washing my hair in that video, i put it back up into a puff because all the energy i have for that day went into me washing my hair. I didn't have no energy to wax. I don't have anything to do anything. It'S deeper reasons why, but i feel like we can all like kind of just use common sense, like you know, you're, not your best and you don't have energy to do things that you need to be doing, but i told myself like honestly, i don't want to Look like what i'm going through so i was like you know what you look good. You feel good, as you can tell, i already got my lashes done. Nails already done. I got these done like two weeks ago, so i'll insert like little clips of how they looked when i first got them done, i'm about to go to sleep, so i got my button to step on, but my lashes look good nails, look good y'all! We almost there we almost there haven't, got to my okay. Also this moment right here was when i realized okay you're, starting to feel yourself because, like personally, i haven't been an insecure person since i was like in high school in middle school, since i became an adult, i've been really secure in my looks, but lately due To just me, just not really taking care of myself, i started feeling kind of like insecure and losing my confidence but girl. Once i got the lashes on, i was like okay, okay, like we getting somewhere, we get somewhere. So that's when i realized my theory was working. I don't care what nobody say when you look good, you really do feel good. So let's get back to the video and um my toes. I just got them done today. They'Re french tip, but i don't really feel the need to show them. I got two feet, though somebody twisted today, i'm going to be doing my eyebrows doing my armpits doing a bikini wax. It'S so funny to me that in this video i thought i was about to do my eyebrows so many times just for me to not end up doing it at all until the very end. So i did not do my eyebrows this day. I did do my my neck, my underarms, and then you know my bikini area, but no eyebrows, and then i'm also going to be waxing my neck, because i have hairs like on my neck, so yeah i'm saying got ta. Do all of this definitely about to do. I got my wax set up right here. You guys i've had this wax warmer for years now and i love looking at wax. So if you know you know, i use hard wax. I'Ve been waxing myself for like a few years now, i haven't got my eyebrows professionally done in, like i want to say, seven years, six or seven years honestly. So now we about to get started. So basically, what i'm about to do? I'M about to apply some body powder to the part that i'm about to wax. First, which is going to be my armpits um. You apply the body powder first, so that it can like suck up any moisture so that the wax can stick to your skin. Better um, ah after i finished waxing my neck, i then went on to my bikini area and after that i hopped in the shower. When i was in the shower, i did go ahead and wash my hair and everything so now in this next clip. It is the next morning - and i had just washed my face so now - you're going to see me using the original and it's a chemical exfoliant, you guys or his glycolic acid excuse me, but either way this thing is my holy grail. I'Ve been using it for at least honestly, i want to say eight months to a year, or it could be less than that, but either way it's been a long time, and this you guys i'm just putting that all over my face to get my pores open And then i'm gon na go ahead and stain my face all right. So now that i've applied my glycolic acid now, i'm about to start steaming my face you guys, i use a clothing steamer. I don't know about chaw. I know they actually have facial steamers, but i just kind of felt like if i already have a clothing steamer. Why would i buy a facial steamer if they do the same thing? All i got to do is make sure the clothing stem is not too close to my face. I'Ve been doing it like this. For a few months now, i haven't had any issues. So if you want to try it, try it your own wrist. But for me it's been great okay, so i'm about to steam my face and i'm going to put on some goggles. Now i'm only doing this because i have lash extensions because i've had them on for a little while now, i'm not sure if it was even needed, but i wasn't trying to take no chances because y'all know lash expensive. Last extensions are expensive: okay and i'm trying to get my money's worth so i'm gon na go ahead and steam my face just to go ahead and get my pores open for me to apply my face: mask and y'all. I'M not gon na lie like during this clip. I just felt so cute. I don't know if it was because, like i'm finally taking care of myself or like the cute pajamas, because i also was you know just watching videos about self-care but like in the smallest way, so like even wearing cute pajamas around the house or wearing cute loungewear. Whatever, like that's, how i just feel like, if you're on this journey too, like you know whatever it's the little things pay attention to the little things, because even just wearing some perfume around the house put on some lip gloss. Okay, i had to really get myself in check because i was doing all that stuff and i stopped because of everything. But anyway now i'm applying my face mask and i'm just gon na. Let this sit on my face until it's done doing what i need to do. Uh, alright! So now that my face is all fresh and clean. I'M going to go ahead and moisturize with my holy grail moisturizer, which is by cetaphil the deep hydration healthy, glow daily cream y'all i've been using this for a cool minute. I really like it honestly, i don't i okay, here's the thing i don't switch up. Products often on my face, but i am open to trying like new, like exfoliants and face mask but moisturizer this gon na stay eight. Like honestly, i don't really see myself switching this out anytime soon, just in case you're. Looking for a new one. I definitely recommend this one and i'm actually putting on some eye cream as well. This is kiss red e kissable brightening anti-aging eye cream on amazon. Now i'm not really consistent with eye creams, but i'm really trying, but i mean, like i said, i'm not consistent enough to give a review on it, but i do be trying to wear it every other like now and then, when i remember, but once i'm consistent I'Ll try to give you guys an update on that. Okay. So now that i'm done with my face routine now it's time to tackle the beast. So today i'm trying to do two feed-in braids um, just to get myself started, because eventually i want to get into more protective styles. I do want to do like a sewing. Eventually, i want to do like a u-part, wig or something you guys. Honestly. I want some straight hair. I don't know what i'm gon na do um after this style, but i do need to think of it because i'm trying to keep my hair like in protective styles, because if i'm already not doing it like, i put it in buns and i wear it in Puffs and stuff, but i just want to keep it in protective styles now because i'll just be over it, but i don't want to cut it off again. So this is how big my hair is. It'S a lot of hair, and i just it was like yesterday when i was wearing the shirt, but now i'm about to go ahead and blow dry still trying to snap. I want to do a middle part or if i want to do a side part, i want to do middle, but it's like. I can never really get it like straight right here, because i'm i have what they call like a soft scalp. So it's like, you know how you think, you're part of your hair straight and you go like that. So i was like i don't know. I think i might try. I think the two braids really cute, so i'm gon na try see i just want to let y'all know part of the reason why i kept my hair. So short, all these years was because this reason right here like it's, not even that long compared to other people's, but you guys, i'm just so tender headed. I just don't have the time to be doing my hair, especially detangling it. This was a mission you guys it was so tough, but i was really hyped because i didn't realize my hair had gotten this long, because this is my first time actually growing it out since i've cut it. But this is how i was looking, but i was just so annoyed. I know i need a trim, which is why the blow dryer wasn't going through it all the way. I know i need a trim, i'm gon na get to it all right, you guys so throughout this video, i'm sure you're noticing i'm not really like giving details about how i'm doing certain things and why i'm doing it this way and what this product does and Etc, only because this is just a like to me - this is just a brief video, showing all the things that i'm doing. If i really sat here and explained every single thing, why i'm doing it? How to do this? How to do that? This would be a way longer video than it's already going to be. I haven't i'm still editing, so i'm guessing, maybe it's gon na be like 20 minutes or even 30 minutes, i'm gon na hope, not because that's kind of too long. I don't know if you guys have been sitting watch it that long anyway, but i plan everything i did in this video. I plan on making tutorials on each individual thing eventually like this style right here. I thought i was going to be doing feed in meaning like fake hair, adding in from the start, but that's not exactly how it ended up. So i'm still going to try to master this style before i do a tutorial. I do want to do a waxing tutorial for you guys. I do want to do a skincare report tutorial for you guys like how i do all these things, but, like i said this, video right here shows me picking myself up by my bootstraps and forcing myself to get these little things done so, like i said eventually, You'Re going to see tutorials on these things that i'm doing here in the video okay. So it's a change of plans, i'm annoyed because i already i struggle with this hairstyle anyway, at least we're adding braiding hair, because my own hair, you see, i clearly know how to braid. So what i'm thinking about doing is probably just focus on braiding, my own hair and then towards the end start adding more braiding hair, because i already put all this stuff on my hair, i'm about to do this style. So, just okay, you guys we finally got the first braid finished. What i did was i just braided it down with my real hair, then right here i started adding the fake hair. It'S really greasy right there, because i put some grease. I really do not care as long as my hair is done, because i do not feel like doing it. So my mother just finished the other side, but here's the back and everything i feel like it looks pretty decent, like i'm really a perfectionist, but i'm just i'm not about to sit here and fiddle with this all day. I'M really not so, okay. So here's! The final product i decided to do these instead because this is kind of what i wanted to do originally, but i was like no, it's not gon na look right, but it looks good. So if you wanted to do a tutorial for you guys, i think i might, if you want me to do a tutorial on this style. Let me know, but this is the look now it's july 1st and i'm barely getting to my eyebrows. You see, i switched up my hair once again rocking this cute synthetic ponytail from amazon, because it's not a plan. This is so cute anyway. So now i'm gon na. Finally, do my brows, ah all right, so i just want to show you guys this, how my brows are looking so far, so here's the first one okay. This is what i just did on camera, and this is how it looked before, like it's two different brows, but talking what i'm trying to say like they look very bushy and now it looks like super defined and super. You know just cleaned up and yeah. So now i'm about to go, do the other side off camera and then what i'm gon na do is i'm just gon na wrap this video up once i get my lashes done because i'll be getting them done on wednesday, so i'll see you guys once i Get my lashes done and more than likely, my hair is gon na, be different too. Let'S just talk about the brows, like girl girl. I should abandon these but anyway, so i finished my brows. Listen, i feel like i'll, be underestimating the power of eyebrows because it just looks like i got a whole new phase like anyway. I know i told you i was gon na come back when it was time for me to get my lashes done, but guys. So, let's officially wednesday and my last appointment was actually rescheduled, so i didn't want to like finish. I didn't want to wait till my lashes are done to finish the video, because personally, i'm actually really proud of the video to say it's, my first one that i have done in a minute, and i really want you guys to see it. So i'm about to go ahead and just wrap it up right here. Thank you guys so much for clicking on this video and watching.
