Let's have an amazing morning together.
Hi guys, it's so cool and welcome back to my channel.
Happy vlogmas, day 19.
Seven days till christmas.
Oh my gosh.
A week till christmas.
A week of vlogmas 2025 left.
That is so exciting.
But happy day 19 for today's vlogmas video.
I wanted to film a morning routine.
I've been seeing all your comments recommending one, but today's morning is going to be a little bit different.
I got to sleep in Woo.
Applause, applause, applause.
I mentioned this at the end of yesterday's vlog, but this was kind of my first morning that I didn't have anything super early.
Especially during the school year, I'll wake up at like 6 or 7.
Haha.
I didn't even do that on purpose.
6 or 7am to get up for class or workout or dance practice.
Something that begins really early in the day.
But today, I don't have anything until 4pm, which is dance practice.
So I had this full morning to myself.
So I was ending vlogmas day 18.
I didn't finish until 2am last night.
So I did go to sleep kind of late, but that's okay because I slept until 11am.
This might sound so dramatic but, like truly, I don't remember the last time I slept in until this time.
I set no alarms.
I just let my body wake up whenever it was ready to.
And for some reason, it was like 11am on the dot.
So honestly, the morning's already over technically in an hour, but I just woke up.
So we're still treating it as morning.
Also, i feel like this will be a nice little change from my other morning routines, because if you've been watching my channel for a while, you guys know i make a morning routine multiple times a year and usually they're pretty busy, pretty productive, because that's typically how my mornings look like.
But since today is a much more chill, starting it a little bit later morning, that's exactly how we're gonna spend it, so we're gonna romanticize it.
I just want to go to a coffee shop.
I started a new book on my kindle, so we'll read a little bit of that.
Bella and essie just got me a coloring book and colored pencils because those were gifts on my christmas wish list, so maybe we could do some of that and just enjoy another winter day.
Before late tonight i have to get ready for practice and then leave, so i am so happy that you're here.
Happy day 19 everyone, and let's, Oh JB Christmas songs.
Chef's kiss.
Question of the day.
What's your favorite Christmas classic?
I would say my top three are All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey, Mistletoe by Justin Bieber and Last Christmas by William.
Oh, I just love Christmas music.
Always with me in such a good mood.
Okay, but let's do my morning skincare and makeup routine.
Starting with the CeraVe AM Facial Lotion.
I love this moisturizer.
It has SPF 30 and perfect for San Diego because it is basically always sunny here.
I think it was 80 degrees freeze yesterday and other days this past week, which is crazy because it's literally winter in december.
But you could definitely get away with wearing shorts and a tank top right now.
Let me actually check the weather today okay, it's 73.
Right now it's gonna get to a high of 75.
Okay, pretty good.
Next, going in with the peter thomas roth eye cream, i just do a little bit under my eyes and then, when i blend it out, i'll bring it on the top of my eyelids as well.
Oh, this product feels so good for some lip balm.
I'm putting on the coco kind lip blur balm.
Love this packaging and love this product.
It goes on so smoothly And that's what my skincare entails.
I'm deciding if I want to do makeup or not.
Yeah, why not?
Also guys, look how cute my sweatshirt is with my sorority merch.
It's a little teddy bear and it says afi, my big god for me.
Love you, mia.
But now let's do a little bit of makeup.
I think as i get older, i realize even just giving yourself the five to ten minutes to put on a few products it'll make you feel so much better.
It doesn't matter how much you're putting on, but you're taking the time to take care of yourself and make yourself look more presentable, especially during the school year.
Because i know a lot of days i'll wake up for class and i'm like ugh, I'm just gonna roll out of bed, not do anything to my face, and then just show up.
But I always find that I definitely don't feel as put together compared to if I just put on a little blush Or lip gloss or some mascara.
Oh, but i'm doing my lashes.
I just curled them with the shiseido eyelash curler and then i'm going in with the l'oreal telescopic.
I think it was in day 15 when I filmed.
Take it ready with me.
But someone commented who remembers my Maybelline Sky High and Lash Sensational mascara era?
If you have no idea what I'm talking about.
I used to use those two mascaras together literally religiously.
So I laughed out loud when I read it just because, ah, what a time.
But I've been really liking this mascara lately.
I feel like it really helps with the length of your lashes.
I love it.
Only thing, I just always get mascara on my eyelid.
So I'm gonna get a Q-tip real quick and wipe it off.
Okay, boom.
That's how the lashes are looking.
I'm gonna take a sip of water.
I feel like whenever i get a new water bottle, i try a lot more to drink more water just because my water bottle is so cute.
That's what i always wanted around me.
And i can't get over the teddy bear i know i talk about in every video, but like, Look at that.
They're twins.
Next, going in with the Drunk Elephant Bronzy Drops.
These used to be so popular.
I feel like not so much now.
Or maybe, I don't know.
But I think they're so great.
Adds some color back into my face and kind of just evens out my skin tone.
Ugh, I was also looking at some photos back in the summertime and you guys, I was so tan.
And thankfully, I feel like I have naturally tan skin.
But in the summer I get pretty dark and i miss it so much.
Once second semester starts, you will see me outside in the high uv tanning at the pool oh, i can't wait for that going in with anastasia clear brow gel.
I saw some of your comments when i asked if you guys had recommendations of getting your eyebrows done and a lot of you guys suggested shaping because it's more on the natural side.
Oh, my gosh, my tummy just rumbled.
I'm like So hungry.
But like I was saying, I might look into that for the new year Possibly.
I love pampering myself like a good hair or nail appointment and then now maybe brows.
I don't know.
We'll see going in with the road pocket blush and tested teddy.
I also love this blush.
I just do two little swipes and then i'll go in with a brush and kind of just tap it into my skin.
Oh, it's so cute.
I noticed recently i've been loving more warmer tones on me, like this blush or in a second You guys will see my lip combo.
Another thing as I get older.
I'm Finally finding more stuff that I feel the most confident in.
I'm so happy that that's happening, because I feel like I've tried so many products in the past and I'm just like eh.
But right now I'm loving all the products I'm using.
Lip combo time.
These are all from Rode.
The lip liner in Twist.
Pocket blush in Toasted Teddy.
And lip peptide in PB&J.
I saw this TikTok the other day and it was like I care about my lip combo more than I care about you.
Facts.
Not you guys.
I care about you guys a lot.
But like anyone else.
If you know what I'm saying.
But truly.
I love when I'm out with my friends and we all just start pulling on our lip combos.
That is girlhood.
Okay, boom!
There's my natural makeup for the day.
I honestly think I'm just gonna brush out my hair.
I just let it air dry yesterday after I showered and there's like a little bit of a wave in it.
It's not completely straight, but I do not feel like putting heat on it today.
So we're just gonna leave it as is.
I feel like my hair is getting pretty long though, you guys.
Like, right?
I do want to get a haircut soon though and touch up on my layers and get a healthy trim.
But now it is time to change.
Let's go pick out a cute outfit.
Outfit of the day.
Wanted to go for a more cute and comfy fit.
So I'm wearing this brown one piece and then this zip up jacket.
Both from White Fox.
Socks are from Aloe and shoes are from UGG.
But perfect timing.
It just turned 12.
So vlogmas day 18 just went up.
I'm going to take a second to post about the video and reply to some comments, and then we will leave.
Coffee shop time.
We're on the way to Honey Haven, which is one of my favorite spots in San Diego.
My dance team put me on.
Dance table at Honey Haven.
It's funny because every time I go, I usually bump into one of my teammates.
I don't know if I'll see any of them today, but I think last time I bumped into Sophia.
The time before that, I bumped into Morgan.
It's a grand old time, but I packed all my essentials.
I have my Kindle.
I have my coloring book.
I also know exactly what I'm going to order.
I've been thinking about it this entire morning, and I'm so excited.
But I'll be there in like less than 10 minutes, so I will see you guys.
Bye, honey.
Look at that.
I got the bumble and then the acai waffle.
Guys, it looks so good.
There's strawberries, blackberries, bananas, and whipped cream.
Cheers.
Oh my gosh, so good.
I also really like the omelets here, but let's try.
Cheers.
Cheers so good.
Wow, this is exactly what i needed, but i'm gonna do some reading on my kindle.
I just started merry christmas, you filthy animal, by megan quinn, which is the second book in her crinkle talent series.
I finished the first one a couple days ago, how my neighbors stole christmas.
I gave it a four out of five stars.
It was a super cute read and there's a bunch of references from the grinch, so it was super fun and festive.
Oh my gosh, hello there.
Hi, that little girl's so cute.
I'm already a few chapters into this one and i like it already as well, so while i finish my food, i'm gonna read this.
Okay, I just finished my food.
The waffle was so good.
Still working on my coffee, but now it is time to color.
Okay, so here's the coloring book and colored pencils I put on my Christmas wishlist this year in my office.
Bella and Nessie got them for me.
Guys, look how freaking cute.
It's like so girly and fun.
Like, look at these pages.
Are you kidding me?
Ooh, I might do this one.
I'll put affiliate links to the coloring book and colored pencils if anyone's wondering.
So I'm gonna call my mom, we'll color a page, and I'll show you guys in a minute.
Look how cute!
I'm obsessed.
This is so adorable.
Oh my gosh, you guys, what a perfect morning.
I had the best time at Honey Haven.
I totally suggest, if you guys can find time, take yourself out on a little solo date, because that's exactly how it felt.
Oh, the lighting's weird.
Give me a second.
Okay, I made it back to campus but, like I was saying, solo dates and romanticizing life is where it's at.
I'm so grateful for college because I feel like the past few years I've felt more comfortable being alone, being more independent, spending time with me myself and I, because I get it.
Being alone can be really hard.
I obviously love being with my friends and family, but i feel like when you can be content with just yourself, that's when you've won at life.
So i'm definitely making a goal for myself for this upcoming year to take myself on more solo dates, especially being in the beautiful city of san diego.
There are so many spots here where i know i can just enjoy by myself, and honey haven, for one, is super cute just because it's so family oriented and wholesome, like i saw a daughter and her parents just having lunch like, oh my god, this is so cute.
The christmas fives were really high.
Over there too, there's christmas decor and christmas music.
They also had holiday drinks, but i wanted to get my usual order oh my gosh.
And there was this adorable dachshund.
He had a little sweater on and i wanted to put it in the vlog, but i didn't want to film someone else's dog.
But that's what i'm saying, like things like that being able to go somewhere and just appreciate your surroundings.
I tried not to go on my phone.
That's why i was on my kindle and my coloring book.
I'm obviously on my devices all the freaking time.
So when there is some time to kind of unplug and not be on social media or doom scrolling, I'm definitely trying to prioritize being more present and enjoy what's literally in front of me.
So yeah, it's just been the cutest past few hours.
I think my new hobby is coloring you guys.
I felt like a little kid again and it was just so fun.
Definitely not an artist in any means, because I've seen a bunch of videos of people who will like draw different designs in their coloring books and make it look all crazy.
Yeah, personally, I'm just picking random colors and doing whatever I think looks right.
But it was just so relaxing and I could probably do the whole coloring book if I had time.
Oh, I'm also really grateful to have my car here at school.
That's another thing I wanted to talk about.
I mean, it's just so convenient having the freedom to go anywhere at anytime.
I also missed my car, because when i was home for the past few days, my car was back in san diego, and so thank god for my family and my friends for driving me around back in my hometown, but i definitely missed my car so that i could just go wherever with her.
But overall, i would say that was a very successful day.
I'm gonna go park my car in my dorm parking lot and your girl has to pee from this coffee, so Let's go back to my room.
And we're back in bed.
Favorite place ever.
But I have like an hour before I just start getting ready for practice.
So I'm just gonna do some editing.
Thankfully this coffee is keeping me alive right now.
Usually I feel like I would crash and take a nap right now.
Probably do that after I edit for a little.
But I feel like longness this year has been going very well.
And I think it's because I've been trying to manage my time very efficiently.
So even if I have a spare like five minutes or 20 minutes somewhere in my day, I'll try to get something done for the video so that I'm able to post every single day for you guys.
So let's get some editing done.
Guys, we just locked the heck in.
I'm almost done editing this video already.
I didn't think I was going to end it that fast, but I've just been sitting here and then I looked at the time and I was like, oh my gosh, I will be just zoomed through that.
But I'm going to finish editing this clip and then I'm going to get up in like 10 minutes to get ready for practice tonight.
So I think that's where I'm going to end today's video because the morning is like well over now.
But I hope you guys enjoyed spending a more chill laid back morning with me.
I personally think we started off today amazing and I'm in such a great mood for the rest of the day.
Surprisingly, i don't think i'm gonna take a nap.
Well, i don't have time to now, but i'm feeling really good after that night of sleep and then also the coffee that i had, and i'm so happy because practice goes till nine tonight.
So it's nice that this video is almost done and i won't have to stay up that late editing.
So just good vibes all around.
But i hope you guys are doing well.
I really hope you have good winter mornings too.
If you guys stayed to the end of this video comment down below this strawberry emoji because there were strawberries on my waffle.
But thank you guys.
