Good morning guys.
Whoa, I'm putting these on.
Let me do that again.
Today's episode two of my alone but not lonely series.
And I'm excited to take you guys along the day.
First things first, let's make my bed.
I just wanted to say before I start this video thank you to all of you for your nice comments, because I was so excited to start this series and so many of you guys seem to love it so far.
And that just really makes me so happy.
I knew that this wasn't like a unique experience to me.
Being lonely and feeling alone is very universal.
And especially like in your early twenties, like there's no guidebook to life.
Like after you graduate high school or college, it's just like, good luck.
You're on your own.
I am kind of getting a late start to my morning, which sucks.
But something I'm actually really proud of myself for is that I've had this goal for the past two weeks now, that when I wake up in the morning I won't go on my phone for the first hour.
And that might sound like really easy to some of you who don't have phone addictions.
But for me, I'm just like so used to waking up and just going on Instagram right away that it definitely took like a lot of just being aware of my habits to notice that even I've definitely noticed a big difference, which has been really motivating.
The last living alone vlog I did was really nice, because I kind of just got to do fun things like around the city by myself.
Today unfortunately, I do actually have stuff I need to do.
I am gonna write a whole to-do list in a little bit, but the first thing that I want to do is just go on a walk, because going on a walk in the morning it's like my favorite way to start the day.
I got my coffee.
I've been trying to listen to music less, because I feel like I just always am stimulated by something.
Like, whether it's a podcast music, a YouTube video, I just like need silence because I feel like that's good for my brain.
I'm just trying to sit. observe, not listen to something, which is kind of hard.
Oh my gosh, it's a massive dog.
Guys, guess who I just ran into?
This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced in my life.
I was standing here in Washington Square Park and all of a sudden I hear a sweet, innocent voice say set, that looks like that's what i thought.
Yeah, oh wait.
No, it is sad.
And i look to my right and it's sydney.
Guys, we'll see what's your lens.
Clean it up, bro oh.
So i just got back to my apartment to this package.
I wanted to make sure it's what i thought it was and it is.
It's my recent order that i just placed on walmartcom.
I'm really excited because i wanted to order a lot of things for spring and summer.
So I'm gonna show you guys a little haul of the things that I got.
And I wanted to also say thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this video.
This stuff came so quickly.
I'm actually like shocked.
That's why I had to like double check to make sure that this was the order that I placed with them.
The first thing I got is this gray tank top.
I didn't realize this actually until now, but it has a little built-in cami type bra into it, which is nice.
I love the neckline to this.
This is like a really good staple to have.
I also got the same thing in black.
I also ordered some black yoga pants.
I don't have any.
I only have gray yoga pants for some reason.
I've really ran out of going out tops.
Like I feel like I've cycled through all of them.
So I wanted to get a couple new tops, nothing too fancy, but I really liked this silk black top.
It has a really pretty V-neck line with some dark jeans and black booties and some gold jewelry.
That's the vision that I had for this.
I also got it in this pink color, which is perfect for spring.
I'm trying to add more color to my wardrobe, guys.
Like I got two more tank tops, but these ones are different than the first ones I showed because they're ribbed and they're really high neck.
I got it in both white and black.
A summer essential, I will say, is a nice white linen button down.
This one looked perfect.
And I usually like to wear this kind of open with maybe like a black tank underneath.
This last one is something I would definitely wear more at night because it is a warmer material.
It's this cream lined turtleneck.
It's so soft and it's just like a perfect basic to have.
But yeah, that's everything that i got.
I'm so happy with everything.
They're just like the perfect basic staple, timeless pieces that i personally love.
If you guys want to check out their pieces and you want to add some more pieces to your wardrobe for spring and summer, make sure to go to their website, because they have such good, affordable pieces.
Thank you again to walmart for sponsoring this video and i'll make sure to put links to each of these products in the description box below.
I was trying on the clothes for the haul, obviously.
And I love this so much.
I have the yoga pants on too.
When I have a lot to do or I'm overwhelmed.
Sometimes I struggle with organizing my thoughts and really prioritizing and sticking to one task at a time.
My mom was actually the one who noticed this, because I'd call her when I was stressed and she'd be like Sydney.
You need to just write everything down every day, your to-do list.
And to be honest, she was right.
Moms are always right.
It's not like a revolutionary idea or anything, but I'm a very visual person, so I have a whiteboard that I like to write everything on.
I'm just gonna write everything that I can think of.
Most importantly, I need to edit this vlog.
I need to email my accountant.
Oh, I need to buy an AC unit.
I want to make a new channel banner.
I need to work on some branding things that I can't really get into, which is like so annoying.
Like I hate when people say that.
And then I'm gonna plan my videos.
Okay, that actually doesn't even look that bad.
That's really not that much stuff to do.
Oh, I should probably do laundry too.
The longest thing is definitely going to be editing this vlog because vlogs take me so long to edit.
Like I'm just, am I bad at editing?
So I'm going to do that first.
I'm going to go to the rooftop of my apartment.
It's really nice up there.
I ended up finishing the first three minutes of my vlog, which might not seem like a lot, but it's actually pretty good.
Well, is it?
But I think I'm gonna go back downstairs because I'm really hungry and I wanna make my chicken salad.
We're back with another salad.
Wow, this is starting to feel like a cooking channel.
This will never be a cooking channel.
If you guys watch me, you know that I've been loving to make these big salads recently simply because I got this big, massive bowl and it's just like makes it more fun.
So I'm onto a new salad.
I've made this only twice so far, but it's so good.
It's this barbecue chicken Caesar.
No, that's not what it is.
It's a barbecue chicken salad.
Okay.
I need to put my hair up because this is just going to be getting serious here.
I know I need a cutting board.
It's actually tragic like that I don't have one.
Guys, I kind of killed it with the presentation on this.
Usually my food doesn't look this pretty, that's why I'm showing it.
Basically this is really easy, because I just buy rotisserie chicken and I mix it with the barbecue and then just cut up a few things like corn, tomato and onion.
I'm just adding a bit of ranch on top.
To be honest, I have nothing to say because I just want to eat this so badly.
So I'll be back.
Okay guys, I'm getting ready because I'm going, I'm gonna go out really quick and pick up some flowers.
I don't know what happened guys, but somehow I ended up on floral TikTok.
I keep getting all these flower arrangement videos and I keep getting sucked into it.
Now I'm suddenly wanting to make my own.
I've never done this before.
This is gonna be my first time actually doing this.
It just seems so fun and like creative and pretty, and I've seen people make really cool ones, so I just want to see if I can do it.
So yeah, we're gonna go together.
I just threw on this white button-down that I actually showed you guys earlier from the haul.
Guys, I'm so excited!
One thing I read is it's good to use green ones as like the base to keep everything together.
I also got baby's breath.
What are these?
They look like tulips, but they're definitely not.
But I wanted some type of color to add to this.
So I figured the yellow would be pretty.
Okay, now it's time to arrange them.
Okay, so that feels too big.
Next step is to add in the accent flowers.
These are not the steps by the way, these are just the steps that I'm making up on the spot.
Oh, the baby's breath just makes this like perfect.
Okay, I think I've made up my mind.
I think it actually looks really good and I love it.
It makes me so happy, but I do feel like I need to call my mom just to get like the final stamp of approval.
She's the one person that like.
Even when I don't want her to be, she's always brutally honest with me.
So like, if this looks bad, she will tell me.
Hi.
Hi.
Do you like these flowers together?
Oh, those are really pretty.
Did you do that?
Really?
Did you do that?
Yeah.
Jenny, that's really good for you.
Thank you, that's honestly all I needed to hear.
My mom approves.
Something about doing it yourself instead of buying a prearranged flower arrangement is so much more gratifying and satisfying, and it just makes me even happier than just when I buy prearranged flowers.
I do need to do some laundry and I still need to finish a lot of work on my computer, to be honest.
I have so much more, I don't even wanna think about it.
So I'm gonna throw in a load of laundry and then, while that's going, I think I'm just gonna work in my bed, which I know you're not supposed to work in your bed, but I do it anyways.
So
I'm gonna be honest, I almost almost forgot to end the vlog and then I was sitting here eating this ice cream cone and I realized i need to do an outro.
I ended up getting done.
I'll show you guys, whoa i ended up getting done some of the stuff on my to-do list actually most of it, you can see.
I got most of the things checked off, but now i'm just editing this video.
I just want to say thank you again too, to walmart for working with me on this video.
Check the link in the description box to shop from walmartcom.
But i love you guys.
I'm gonna go to bed.
I'll see you in my next video bye.
