Good morning guys.
Welcome back.
This week we're taking a little break from my alone but not lonely series, because I'm not living alone this week.
I'm actually living with someone else.
Hi.
I'm with my little brother Ashton.
He's staying with me for a few days.
Are you excited to be here or no?
Yeah.
That did not sound convincing.
Sorry, I'll be ready.
I'm like actually almost ready, like for real.
But yeah, this morning we're gonna go to the Statue of Liberty.
We're gonna have a really fun week.
We kind of have a busy week full of like touristy things.
Okay, I actually need to hurry up.
Wow, here we are again, guys.
Me vlogging in public.
I just don't like vlogging in public when everyone's watching me.
But you know what?
Like this year, 2024 is like new me.
I don't care actually.
I don't care anymore.
Actually, yeah, I care.
We had to go through such an extensive security process.
I didn't know that it would be so intense.
It's kind of like the airport.
We had to do that security, but we're here now.
There's a big line of people to get onto the ferry.
Gosh, please don't drop that.
Okay guys, we made it.
It's bigger than I actually thought.
Actually, I don't know what I thought.
Wait, can you film me?
Can you see it?
So I got hungry and we got chicken tenders.
We're taking a little lunch break.
I was just talking with Ashton because I feel like we're so lucky that we have such a healthy brother-sister relationship.
I feel like most siblings fight a lot and argue a lot.
I mean, I guess that happens sometimes with us, but we get along so well and I never really realized how grateful I was for that until I got older.
And yeah, like we just have so much fun together.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, whoa.
No.
Guys, okay.
So we're inside the Statue of Liberty.
We got tickets where we can like go into the pedestal.
We're walking up so many stairs right now.
It's like 200 steps, which might not even sound that bad, but I'm also very out of shape.
I'm so embarrassed to even film this right now.
Wow, we made it.
Actually, look up.
Oh my gosh, we're so close to it now.
Wow look, you can literally see Manhattan from here, even in the fog.
Good morning guys.
I just woke up.
It's tuesday, my little brother's over there sleeping.
I really want to go get bagels this morning, like these papa bagels.
This week i'm in like tourist mode, you know, showing him the best things to do in new york.
Last night i went to go do something on my camera.
It was a black screen.
I tried to troubleshoot and like do things on google that they say to do.
Nothing worked.
So that Leaves me to one option, which is to bring my camera to a camera shop today.
So I'm sorry, filming on my iPhone right now.
Maybe I'm not cut out for this life.
Just got out of the shower.
I'm getting dressed for the day.
I'm thinking maybe I'll do like white linen pants and a white top.
Update, it's a wreck in here.
We were on FaceTime with my mom.
She and my brother just said it looks like pajamas. iPhone vlog today.
We're gonna go get coffee.
I got my order.
Iced vanilla omelette latte.
So I just asked my little brother to take pictures of me and he did.
He's actually like an angel.
Like if I asked him to do anything, he's like, yeah, that's so nice.
Now we're going to go get bagels.
The best bagel place ever called Pop with Bagels in New York.
Bagel hall, we got all of our bagels.
Everything, poppy seed and plain.
And then we got the scallion cream cheese.
So you rip it and dip it.
Wow, that's really good.
This is the best bagel.
This might be the best bagel I've ever had.
Really?
They make them every 20 minutes, so they're always hot when you go in.
If you ever come to New York, you have to go to Papa.
They're so good.
So I just brought my camera to the camera shop and they said it's a lost cause, completely broken.
And I was like, wait, did I drop it?
And he's like, no, just something happened.
The rest of this day is gonna be an iPhone vlog, you guys.
I'm sorry.
Wow, I'm so sad, honestly.
We've done so much today, like I feel like this has been three days in one.
We decided to rent electric scooters for an hour.
And I've only done this once before and it's so fun.
So sunny, there's so many people out and it really feels like summer.
Good morning guys.
I don't know if you guys can tell, but i'm vlogging on my canon g7x, which i actually used to film on.
It's my brother's last day here today, so we are gonna go to soho and we're gonna get a smoothie coffee, walk around and shop actually my dream day, to be honest, it's also so hot today.
Something about new york that i didn't know until recently is that there's no general air conditioning, so you have to bring your own like ac unit, and i obviously don't have one, so i bought one on amazon and then someone has to install it, like i can't even install it myself.
I guess i'm gonna try to not wear powder today and just see how this lasts, because look how nice and glowy my skin looks right now.
But yeah, I definitely need that AC unit to go in because it's so hot today.
I love this blush so much, guys.
This is so random, but this NARS liquid blush, it's just so blendable.
It's like the perfect blush.
I think I'm becoming dependent on coffee though, because now I wake up and I'm like extremely tired until I have the coffee, and that's not good.
That's when it becomes a problem.
I feel like I need to do a cleanse.
So we ended up getting smoothies at a different smoothie place because the one that I wanted to go to ran out of bananas.
I feel like it's so hard to make anything if there's no bananas.
And then we just walked around, we shopped for a little bit.
Now we're leaving.
We were not there for that long.
To be honest, i hate this.
I hate this so much.
I'm kind of sad because my brother just left.
He's flying back to minnesota today.
It's hard living so far away from your family, and i did not want to film this right now, but i don't want to just be like surface level on here.
I want to actually be honest and real about things, and life isn't always perfect.
I had so much fun with him though, and i'm honestly like i just try to be thankful that i have a good relationship with my family and that i do get to miss them, because i know not everyone has a positive relationship with their family.
Yeah, i'm just gonna miss him, and it's just always really hard.
I need to actually do so much today though, and i need to like stop crying, because i like can't, i like have to do stuff.
Obviously, like i was like not productive at all the past like four days that he was here because i was just so busy with him.
So now that he's gone, I need to actually get some stuff done.
First thing is I need to shower.
I just feel gross.
I'm like sad.
So I need to just shower away my sadness and then I'm gonna clean.
Fresh out of the shower, I blow dried my hair.
Anyways, I'm feeling a little bit better now.
I really need to clean my apartment because things just got messy since he was here.
The air mattress I need to deflate, and then I need to just clean up random stuff around my apartment.
My bathroom's so messy right now.
There's just stuff everywhere on the counters.
I need to wipe that down.
As I've gotten older, I've kind of started to enjoy cleaning more.
It's just very satisfying and therapeutic for me, which is good.
I used to like actually be so messy, especially in college.
I was a mess.
We're going to clean.
I'm going to put on a little YouTube video in the background.
Probably Cody Ko.
I swear I like correlate in my brain.
A clean apartment is a clean mind.
So yeah, I just feel so good.
I wanna show you guys quick.
I cleaned the floors, my little kitchen area.
I really had to go to work on this counter because it was just loaded with so many things.
I still need to clean my shower door though.
And I don't know what to use for this.
I think Dawn dish soap is what I usually do.
Basically, I can't really sleep here tonight.
Well, I actually definitely can.
I'm being dramatic.
Tonight I'm gonna pack a little overnight bag because I'm gonna go sleep at my boyfriend's house.
I've never really talked about that.
Have I talked about that on here?
I don't know if I have.
Wow, my hair is scary.
But yeah, I have a boyfriend in New York.
We've been dating for a few months, but I just haven't really talked about it because I never really share my relationships online.
You guys know if you've followed me for a while.
It's just an area of my life that I've always kept pretty private, but i do feel like for context, just so you guys kind of know what i'm doing.
I feel like i had to explain that i'm packing an overnight bag right now to go to his house because i don't have ac in my apartment.
I have the unit that i bought right there, but it's not installed yet.
I usually Don't use makeup remover wipes, but these are really nice for traveling.
And some dry shampoo.
Pajamas.
I'm gonna need some clothes for tomorrow, so I'm gonna pack some leggings.
Wow, it's gonna be a grout-fit day tomorrow.
I have my bag of things, and I'm excited because he's making dinner.
I'm gonna go see you guys when I see you.
Good morning, guys.
It's Friday.
I didn't think I'd honestly be vlogging here.
Right now I'm making breakfast.
I'm obviously not at my apartment.
I'm at my boyfriend's apartment, but he's gone right now because he's working out and I'm not.
I ended up deciding to stay like, what time is it right now?
It's like 11 a.m.
And we got up early and just worked because he works from home today.
So I've just been doing stuff on my computer and doing some work from home today.
It's really nice to like switch up my environment when I work from home, because if I just work in my apartment all the time, I think I would go crazy.
I literally brought this avocado from my apartment here because it was about to go bad and I really wanted avocado toast for breakfast.
I like put it in my purse and just like brought it on the train. but it was worth it.
I just go on YouTube and I play this like coffee music, morning jazz music and every morning.
It just puts me in the best mood and I'm like so productive with this on.
I always do this every morning.
