Let's get into this Christmas Specialist.
Hi guys, it's Nicole and welcome back to my channel.
Happy Vlogmas Day 5!
Sorry I sound like that.
I just woke up from a nap, so I may sound like a man until my voice warms up.
But OMG, Day 5!
We can hold up one full hand!
Alright, here's the sig for today's video.
It's Friday, December 5th.
Happy Friday, everyone.
Well, by the time you're seeing this, it's not gonna be Friday.
Whatever.
If you guys watch Vlogmas Day 4, you guys know last night I had the YouTube AAPI Gala.
Still processing that whole night.
Feeling so blessed and so grateful.
But we got home pretty late.
I didn't go to bed until past midnight.
And mind you, that event was in LA.
So I slept in my hometown at my house.
So then this morning... my poor mother.
We both woke up at 5 a.m. to drive back to San Diego, plus Linda Lano.
She drove the whole time while I slept in the car.
We got back to the apartment.
I finished editing Vlogmas Day 4 that is uploaded, and then I made it back to my dorm.
Okay, but it doesn't end there.
I'm just gonna try to explain my thought process.
I might sound crazy, but I swear, you guys, my mind during Vlogmas is literally like this.
Like I'm thinking of so many things at once and I feel like I'm running around.
But that's the fun of this month.
Basically, by the time i got back to my dorm it was around 1 30 pm and then i was like okay, i'm gonna get ready, do my makeup my hair is kind of still good from the gala day two curls not looking too bad and then we're gonna film vlogmas day five before i have to go to practice at 4 pm.
Yeah well, that didn't exactly happen.
I got back to my dorm and i was like, oh man, i'm really really tired.
If we combine my sleep from last night with, like the nap in the car, i probably got around like five six six, seven hours, but like choppy and bad, and then i had a lot of screen time from editing.
So yeah, i kind of had a headache and i was like nicole, you need to take a nap and you guys know, along with 2025, i'm trying about my happiness and my mental health.
First, because in the past i totally would have like tried to film this video and try to push through.
But then I know myself too, if I'm not energized enough to film, I'll probably just end up deleting the footage because I don't like how it turns out anyway.
So, executive decision, I was like Nicole, you're gonna take a nap, you're gonna set your alarm for 2 15 pm and if you feel better, then film.
If you don't go back to bed so you feel better for practice.
Well, guess what?
I woke up from my nap and I feel better, so we're filming.
Oh and yes, we have a special guest, of course, if you know.
You know, this is Rudy.
Okay Sorry, I'm yapping.
But long story short, we are here.
We're filming the long stay vibe and I just wanted to film a more chill laid-back video.
Obviously, I'm still in bed.
I didn't end up putting makeup on.
I still sound like a man because I'm waking up from my nap.
But I wanted to film this before I have to get ready for practice and then do that for the rest of the night.
All right, so finally introducing this video.
For today's vlogmas, we're going to be doing a Christmas wish list.
I've done these in the past where I'll name like a hundred plus things.
Girly girl gift guide.
Stuff that was on my wish list.
Stuff that you can put on your wish list.
But I've been seeing a trend on TikTok.
A Christmas wish list.
Whoa, that's not the word, Nicole.
A Christmas wish list of things I would ask for if I didn't own already.
So it's kind of like a favorites video.
I made a list on my phone and I'm just going to walk you guys through some of my most used products that I love and that I recommend and that you can maybe ask for Christmas before this month is over.
So with that being said, I know, very long intro, but we're getting to it.
Happy Vlogmas Day 5.
I hope you enjoy it.
Let's get into this Christmas wish list.
First category, lifestyle.
We're starting with the classic five-minute journal.
I mean, if you've watched my morning routine videos in the past few years, you guys know I love this product so, so much.
I've tried journaling in just a regular lined notebook and I feel like it just never sticks for me.
But this is the one journal that there's a morning and night prompt.
You start your day off with three things you're grateful for what would make today great, as well as daily affirmations, and I feel like that's just the best way to start your day.
It sets the tone, sets your day up with success and gets you thinking positively rather than scrolling on your phone and starting your day with screen time.
And then you end the night with three highlights of the day, as well as something that you learn, and I think it's such a great way of self-care.
You're prioritizing gratitude and reflection.
I also love that it comes in different colors, because I currently I have a light pink one and it just makes me super happy.
Next on the list, we have Squishmallows.
I mean, I mean, do I have to say that much?
I'm all about winning things that genuinely evoke joy and Squishmallows really do that for me.
Okay, so including Rudy, I have one, two, three, four.
I think I have five squishmallows in this dorm room.
And I love each and every one of them.
They're great to hug.
They're so cute.
And they make your bed look absolutely adorable.
I also love the different sizes.
I have one that's like this big.
You know, Rudy's kind of like a little smaller than Sadie.
There's also some the size of my upper body.
And I will say those are the best to cuddle.
Next, we have a hydro jug.
This has been my favorite water bottle lately.
Honestly, coming to college, I think I do drink more water, which is good because that's always a goal of mine, but you know it's easy to fall off.
But when I'm going to class or dance practice or workout, wherever I'm going, I always make sure to throw my water bottle in my bag.
And what's nice about hydro jugs is that the straws on top close so you don't have to worry about water falling out, because with other water bottles i definitely experience a lot of spillage and it's just not fun.
Oh, and sign out, i do have two different sizes a 20 ounce, which is perfect when i'm going to class because it's not too heavy and i'm not drinking like that much water when i'm going to class.
And then i also have a 40 ounce that i take to dance practice or workouts because obviously there i'm moving more, so i'm drinking more water.
But that was another thing.
My freshman year i was bringing around like really heavy water bottles to class and then it would make shoulder hurt.
Blah blah, blah.
Love my hydro jugs.
Next category clothes.
First, we're starting off with the aritzia butter collection.
Within the last few months i bought two little kind of crop top bras from this collection, a white one and a black one, because they're just basics and i knew i would wear them a lot.
But you guys, i love them so much the material, the quality, chef's kiss.
I wear them everywhere to bed, to class, to dance.
It's just so soft and comfy and i low-key, did order some more For their Black Friday sale.
And that's the beauty of their collection.
They also have tank tops, leggings, shorts, jackets.
And hopefully I don't buy the whole collection.
But I'm definitely going to be adding to mine.
And I think you should too.
Next, we have Aloe Sweatsets.
I think these are just such solid pieces.
Yes, they're more on the expensive side.
But honestly, I think they're a really good investment.
I love wearing them when I'm traveling.
Or I guess, yeah, anything.
I don't know about you guys.
But whenever I have a matching set on, I feel like a baddie.
And also they're just cute and comfy.
Next we have scuffers hoodies.
These have been my recent obsession as well.
If you're looking for a hoodie that hoodies scuffers is worth, i get mine in medium and i feel like it's the perfect size for me.
I love the fit of them.
I love their selection, because there's different materials, different colors, different graphic designs, so you'll definitely find one that you like and if you're like me and you live in hoodies, this will be perfect.
And finally, white fox active.
I don't want white fox all the time, but rightfully so.
I'm obsessed with white fox in general, but especially white fox active, and i feel like coming to college.
I really enjoyed these pieces just because i am working out all the time.
I need good athleisure wear to train and to lift and to dance, and i'm obsessed with white fox active, love their matching sets of sports bras and biker shorts.
They also have tank tops leggings, jackets.
You feel like their accessories are part of white fox active are super cute.
I think they have like bags, yoga mats, water bottles.
Oh, YFox is just, it's just great.
Next category, shoes.
Starting off with a good old UGG Tasman slipper.
These are great.
I think too, because it's winter time, it's personally getting colder in San Diego as well.
I've been wearing my UGG Tasman's 24 seven.
I currently have this one pair and they're like Sherpa on the top and they're so adorable.
But I just think they're super cute and comfy.
I love pairing them with any outfit too.
If I'm wearing jeans, leggings, shorts, I don't know.
I'll pair it with anything.
There's also so many different colors.
I think my first pair that I got were like the tan chestnut original.
My mom has gotten me a pink pair.
Those are so cute.
And then, like i said, i currently have like a white sherpa pair right now, but they're great.
Next, we have on cloud x4s.
These are my current favorite running shoe.
Being on dance team, we run a good amount, so i've gone through a few pairs of running shoes, trial and error, just to see which ones i like and these are the ones that i end up loving.
Yeah, in the past i tried other brands and i've ended up rolling my ankle in them, so i'm not gonna say those brands, but i haven't rolled my ankle yet in my own cloud, so we're keeping those as of right now.
But whenever i wear them, i feel so light on my feet.
They're comfortable, of course and honestly, they make running more fun.
Okay, And last shoe, we have a classic Nike Air Force 1.
I feel like I always add this in my Christmas specials videos.
I just genuinely love this shoe.
I think I got my first pair probably when I was in middle school and maybe even before that.
Honestly,
I don't know, but I still wear mine to this day.
They're such a classic, such a staple.
I love wearing them to dance as well.
Hip hop is my favorite genre and I feel like these are really good hip hop shoes.
I also love the sleek look of them.
Nothing beats a good white tennis shoe.
And I think these will be a favorite of mine for a very long time.
Next category beauty.
Starting with road products, i think broad has been my favorite skincare and makeup brand for the past few months.
I mean to name a few products.
We have the glazing milk, the barrier moisturizer let's see what else.
That was my alarm if I did end up going back to bed.
Anyways, back to what I was saying.
The blush, all the lippies, all the lip liners.
Like, I feel like every road product I've tried so far, I've really enjoyed.
And I know a lot of my friends also love road as well.
Next, we have the YSL Libre Perfume.
I love the scent of this. perfume.
I feel expensive when I wear it.
I feel yummy when I wear it.
I'm definitely more of a vanilla girly in comparison to like, I don't know, flowers or other scents.
But this one is just so yummy.
I don't know.
If you have a chance to go to a Sephora nearby you and smell it, definitely recommend.
The packaging is also very pretty.
Next, we have the Dyson Airwrap.
Yeah, this is a great hair product.
I think it also helps that mine's pink.
But this is a great hair tool.
It's very easy to use.
I mean, there's so many different tools and it's such a multi-purpose product.
My favorite tool is like the Roli brush and that's how I do my blowouts.
And I sometimes get compliments when I do my hair like that.
So I owe it to the Dyson Airwrap.
Next we have the Lush Super Milk.
This is another very yummy smelling product.
I actually, I hopped on the bandwagon with this one.
I think I got it from Leah from Love Island.
I remember her talking about it and then my friends got them and I smelled it and I was like okay, I'm going to get it.
But I don't even know how to explain the scent because it's honestly very unique to me.
It doesn't really smell like anything else that I own.
But whenever you put in your hair, I
It just smells really good.
And then I've also gotten compliments on that product as well.
So yeah, if you have a chance to smell it, smell it first.
And then if you like it, buy it, obviously.
And then we have Peter Thomas Roth eye patches.
If you guys follow along, especially my Snapchat, add me, Anna Coleno, if you haven't already.
I'm always posting of me putting on my eye patches or me talking in my eye patches.
And that's how I end.
Most of my nights is putting on my eye patches, getting in bed and doing my night routine.
But I love the ones from Peter Thomas Roth.
They have a few different kinds.
I'm currently using the 24K gold ones, but they're just so relaxing, so easy to put on.
And I think this super cute.
And the last category, we have electronics.
This is a no-brainer, but Canon cameras.
You guys know I'm a Canon girlie.
I have always been a Canon girlie.
I will always be a Canon girlie.
I love my Canon cameras.
I'm currently filming on my V1.
Favorite camera for vlogging.
If you guys are looking for a camera for content creating, I definitely suggest one.
It's more on the compact side so you can bring it anywhere you go.
I love the wide angled lens.
There's also a zoom.
I think the audio is really great as well, without having to use any external mics.
It's just a great product.
I also love a good g7x.
This camera is so popular if you haven't heard about it the flash photos it takes So good.
I also used to vlog on my G7X as well.
So it's great for that too.
But now I mainly use it for taking photos and the quality is just so good.
And then the last camera I'll mention, I also really like the ELF 360.
Super cute digital camera.
Whenever I take photos on this one, I don't know, I feel like it just softens my skin.
I look a little more elegant and dainty.
So I like bring that around to events or when I'm with my friends.
Yeah, all three of those.
Great for photos, great for videos.
And so I definitely recommend.
Next, we have wildflower cases, and i have one right here.
I showed this in vlogmas day one, but it's so cute.
It's a little dog and has a santa hat and it's holding like a christmas tree branch with ornaments in it.
But i love wildflower cases.
They low-key, remind me of like 2016 era or like when i was in middle school, like the plaid and the cheetah or the polka dots please tell me someone knows what i'm talking about but it's still one of my favorite brands to now.
Me being in college.
I think all the different designs that they constantly come out with are so, so unique and so, so cute.
Yeah, it's just a great selection and you'll definitely find one that you like.
Also have these little what are they even called?
They go on top of your camera lens and it's like glitter, so super cute accessories as well.
Last thing i'll say about their cases for someone who drops their phone, a good amount, i'd say.
It protects my phone really nicely.
And last but definitely not least, last product in this video, we have the kindle color soft.
I love my kindle, if you know.
You know i had a huge reading era back in sophomore year of high school.
Then i kind of got into a slump, didn't really pick up that many books during my junior and senior year and even my freshman year of college.
But this past year over the summertime, i got back into reading love me some good romance novels, self-help books as well but then i was like hmm, I'm buying all these books.
I used up all my Barnes & Noble gift cards.
Should I look into getting a Kindle?
And everyone was like, yes, Nicole, you should.
And so that's exactly what I did.
And I'm so glad that I did because I love my Kindle.
And the color soft is really great because obviously there's color on the screen.
It makes your reading experience very fun.
It's so convenient bringing my Kindle places.
It's like this big.
It fits in all my bags.
I don't get a headache when I'm reading in the car.
I feel like I read faster on my Kindle, which is kind of interesting.
But yeah, I just be like tapping away and it's great.
So for any of my readers out there, definitely look into a Kindle.
Yay, that was the last product.
