Good morning you guys.
It's sid and welcome back.
I have missed you guys.
I needed to start out this video with a proper apology because, for the first time in a while, i missed posting last week.
I'm really sorry, you know.
I wish i had an excuse for you guys.
To be honest, I have none.
But no need to fear guys, I'm back.
I know nobody was fearing anything.
I doubt anyone even noticed.
But I'm so excited because today I'm going to be doing another vlog.
You guys know the drill by now.
I've been really liking these living alone diary videos and just kind of like romanticizing my life.
Since graduating college and living alone, I feel like that's kind of One of the main things that I've realized is how important it is to romanticize your own life and just kind of create fun experiences for yourself, even within your mundane activities and routine.
It just makes everything more fun.
My mom is actually visiting me right now, so she's going to be kind of in and out of the vlog a little bit.
I also wanted to clarify something, because I feel like sometimes my life looks way more fun than it is.
I definitely have my days where I don't leave the house, like quite frequently.
And I just wake up and I'm on my laptop all day working.
So these vlogs are definitely kind of showing like the highlight of my days and my better days.
I'm gonna go work out with my friend Ella and I need to leave before I miss the train.
We're here with Ella.
She walked here 30 minutes.
Last two.
Okay, we just finished our workouts.
How do you feel, Ella?
I'm exhausted.
We have the whole gym to ourselves right now.
No one's in here.
It's kind of fun.
Look.
New year, new me.
I got home two packages from ThredUp.
I'm so excited.
I've been waiting for these to come.
We're definitely going to have to do a little haul in a bit.
That was a really good workout.
I feel...
Good.
We definitely did a lot more arms than I feel like usual.
My arms are gonna be sore tomorrow and I actually have boxing tomorrow.
I've never done that before, but I'm going to boxing.
So I'm just thinking about how I'm like already sore.
I'm gonna have to be like throwing punches.
Guys, I feel like my hair has actually been a little bit less greasy recently.
If you guys follow me on TikTok then you might've seen me talk about it, but I just feel like I have the most greasy hair ever.
I'll shower one day and then the next day.
Honestly, even like 12 hours later, it gets greasy again.
So i've been kind of trying to like phase out of it and push it to like every other day and i do feel like my hair has been a bit less greasy.
Some of you guys in the comments on tiktok were telling me to like train my hair and that kind of helps.
I think.
First things first.
We're gonna go grocery shopping.
My mom's coming back here in a few minutes And she's going to help me.
Really not good at grocery shopping.
I feel like I just go in with no list.
What's been helping me a lot for recipes is actually TikTok.
Pinterest used to be where I would get more of my recipes, but TikTok has had so many good recipe ideas.
So I'm probably going to try a couple of salads that I saw on TikTok.
TikTok is kind of becoming the new Pinterest.
I know it's like I cannot.
I cannot do Pinterest like that need to go through my makeup bag, like immediately.
It's to the point where there's so much stuff that i can't even find my actual products that i use every day.
So maybe later today i'll go through this.
Where is everything?
It's like it's like a bottomless pit in here.
Guys, can i tell you something?
I'm so guilty of this and i'm kind of embarrassed, but i don't even care.
I'm obsessed with austin mcbroom's snapchat stories right now.
I can't even explain.
If you've seen them, you would know.
He's like going off the deep end.
And I know it's super staged, but it's so funny.
Like I've been getting so much of my entertainment from his Snapchat stories.
And I didn't even have Snapchat.
I literally went to redownload Snapchat just to watch his stories every day.
And it gives me a lot of entertainment.
I like to watch it.
Like, why does he have a job at CBS now?
My mom's here.
Oh, no, no, I'm not on camera.
We're walking home and I saw this in the window.
It's all these dogs.
That's so cute.
Is that like a doggy daycare?
That's so cute.
My mom's getting my laundry downstairs right now.
She's been helping me.
So much like having your mom stay with you and just help you with things.
Once you're an adult, i feel like i appreciate it so much more because i feel like when i was younger, i just i just like assumed that she would help me, which is a horrible thing to assume.
But one of my favorite things recently has been making salads.
This is my favorite one.
I think i started eating this in college like three years ago.
It's the lemon arugula, basil salad kit.
I got some mini avocados, some jasmine rice.
This is the microwavable one.
I got some sourdough bread.
I got some hummus and pita chip trays.
These are also so good.
I eat too many.
Like I probably won't eat this in the next three days.
It's the mini chocolate chip cookies.
Oh, I also got this turmeric shot.
I'm gonna do it right now.
I kind of hate doing these.
Oh, it wasn't that bad actually.
I wanted to try this banana and almond butter protein smoothie.
I got some grapes and I also got some ravioli.
It's not even gonna fit with all this prime that I have in here.
I'm so excited because I've been waiting for this thredUP stuff to come.
So I can't wait any longer.
I need to unbox this.
You guys know how much I absolutely love thredUP.
And I'm just so excited to be working with them on this video today.
If you don't know what ThredUP is, it's essentially an online thrift store.
They have so many different one-of-a-kind pieces that are discounted from a lot of like really good brands.
They have like Steve Madden, Lulu's.
I really also love ThredUP because of how sustainable it is.
Since you're buying used pieces, you're really helping the fashion footprint.
Sometimes thrifting in person can get a bit overwhelming and I get tired of it.
I just love how I can thrift literally from my bed with ThredUP.
It's so easy.
They have an app that I like to use.
They also have a website, of course.
I'm so excited.
Wow, I didn't realize I got this much stuff.
Starting out with this red halter neck tank.
What I liked about this was the neckline and I also have been really loving to wear red.
I wear a lot of black and red and black just go super well together.
I think this will be a beautiful date night top.
I got this trench coat and this one caught my eye because it's a bit bulky, but I like that about it.
Let me stand back.
It's so sophisticated.
And I see so many girls in New York wearing stuff like this.
This next one is a little bit out of my comfort zone but that's what I liked about it.
I really admire those girls that can just take the most random eccentric pieces and put them together to create a really nice outfit.
I wouldn't say I'm one of those girls, but I'm trying to be, and I thought that this cheetah print maxi skirt was such a unique twist on, like the current cheetah print trend.
I also got some black jeans.
I've just been needing a good staple pair and I liked these because they're actually originally from Abercrombie.
The estimated retail price for these are 90 and then I got them for 27.
I also got this gray turtleneck sweater.
It has a little bit of colored speckling in it.
I kind of want to just put it on right now.
Wait, I love, I love a good turtleneck.
It has kind of like a slouchy fit to it, which I really like.
And it's also so warm.
This is so cute.
I'm just going to keep wearing this.
The estimated retail price of the sweater is 98 and I got it for 46.
I also got some heels.
One of them that I really liked was this pair, because it has this little almost belt strap at the bottom.
And I also am a sucker for heels that have a point at the end of them.
I also got these ones from Steve Madden.
These ones just have the tiniest little heel and an open toe.
I actually went on the other day and favorited a ton of pieces that I like on thredUP.
So I'll put a link to that down below if you guys want to see my favorites.
If you want to get 35% off your first order, you can use my code Sydney at checkout.
Anyways, my mom's coming back.
So I think we're going to cook dinner now.
So we're on the phone with my little brother.
This is going to be the dressing.
These three mixed together.
And we have our chicken, some dill.
My mom's made this salad before, right?
It was really good, that's why I wanna show it to you so you know.
And where'd you find it?
TikTok.
I told you guys TikTok is where all the recipes are these days.
The salad is done.
To be honest, I didn't, I did not make this.
My mom made it for me.
The dough with the pistachio, it's like very fresh.
I'll try to find the link to this recipe and put it below if you guys want to try it.
So my mom just left.
It's always so bittersweet when she leaves, because I just love when she visits and I'm sad when she leaves.
I'm going to try to get to bed kind of early tonight because I haven't really been sleeping well the past few nights.
I really want to try that sleepy girl mocktail that I've been seeing, but I don't have the ingredients for it, so instead I think I'm just gonna make some tea, and I kind of want popcorn, so I'm gonna make it cute in here.
I'm gonna romanticize my life.
So I made my tea.
It's a sleepy time tea from Trader Joe's.
And I made it in my favorite mug that I got in a vlog like two months ago.
My popcorn, my tea.
The only thing I'm missing is a TV.
At first when I moved here, I was like, I don't need a TV.
I don't need one.
And now suddenly I just wish, I really do wish I had one.
I feel like it kind of triggers going to bed in my brain.
Oh God.
See, this is where I know I'm obsessed and I have a problem, because right now I have one thing on my mind and only one thing.
Austin McBroom's Snapchat stories.
It's become a part of my night routine.
These last forever.
I'm addicted, I'm addicted, I need help.
I'm so addicted, guys.
I'm not a fan, really, of Austin McBroom at all.
You know what it is?
His stories are just so bad and so fake and staged and overdone that they're good.
It's like a bad movie that you can't stop watching.
That's maybe, is that why I like it?
I don't know why.
Or is he just funny now?
I don't know.
Anyways, I'm gonna read now.
I'm gonna read this book.
This is one of my go-to favorites.
I like to reread this one because it's a pretty quick short, easy read kind of my night routine.
I'm just kidding, i actually do have like a full established night routine, so maybe i'll film that as like a vlog soon.
Anyways, i love you guys.
Thanks so much for watching and don't forget to check out thredUP.
I'll have the link in my description.
I love you guys and i'm gonna go to bed, so ciao, Bye.
