week in my life in NYC: trying new facial tools, sephora haul, pack + prep for stagecoach

Good morning, you guys. What is up? Welcome back to my channel. Welcome back to another week in my life in New York city. It's a gloomy day, not raining, just gloomy. And I felt the need to set the scene for you guys. I've had a lovely morning. I woke up an hour before my alarm, which is just always, you know, it's going to be a great day. Well, if you're feeling rested when you wake up before your alarm. And I did. So it gave me some more time to just relax to myself. I'm weirdly feeling very relaxed and rejuvenated. I feel like Mondays, I'm always trying to get my pieces together, but I had a really nice Sunday and I really just I did like seven loads of laundry yesterday, which I never do clean my sheets like that kind of vibe. And I don't know, I just feel really good. I like prepared. I responded to emails last night so people would see him this morning. Like, I'll just brag. I'm just feeling good. And a lot of times on Mondays, I'm kind of feeling frazzled. So hopefully this inspires you guys to start your week in a good, you know, on a good note. I really take Sunday nights very seriously and try to do my best to kind of prepare for a good week ahead. Anyways, I'm also traveling this week. I'm going to stagecoach, which I don't even know if I've said in the blog yet. I am so excited. I have like a little pile here of all my stagecoach stuff. So my last minute a few weeks ago, my friend Margo called me. I was like, hey, you want to go to stagecoach? I have a couple extra tickets and it's going to be me. Margo Ashery, Margo Lee, Dom Roberts, Kenzie Elizabeth, and then Margo's friend Emily, who I'm so excited to like hang out with more. It's going to be a really great group. I love country music. I'm so, so excited. I've been to Coachella before. I didn't go this year because it was Brooke's birthday and everything. And honestly, I'm really excited about stagecoach. I think it's going to be really good vibes, a lot more chill. So, yeah, I can't wait to show you guys my outfits and everything. So we'll be prepping for that a little bit here. But again, I just I'm in a really good headspace and I'm going to try and stay in it. Because we do have a semi-busy day ahead. I'm about to head out the door. We're going to go work out with Jane, which has been the best thing for me. Like, it's such a great way to start my week. I was at first just doing workouts Wednesdays and Fridays, but now I've added in Mondays. And it's so great because we usually record Gals on the Go, my podcast on Mondays. And I don't know, it's just a good way to start the day. So on my way to the gym, I'm going to drop off this dress for to the dry cleaners. I literally have never gotten anything dry cleaned in New York City yet. But Kelly let me borrow her dress. She had like a birthday weekend this past weekend and it's beautiful. And I was like, I'm going to dry clean it. I was like, thank you for letting me wear it. Please, please, please. So I'm going to go drop something off the dry cleaners, go to the gym, shower at the gym, get ready at the gym, which I've never done. I've gotten ready there once, but I've never used their showers. I'm excited. And then head straight to the Gals on the Go office studio from there. We're recording an episode of the podcast this week. For this week, we're doing a beauty favorites episode, which I'm so pumped about. I've been like obsessed with beauty recently. So we're going to be talking about all of our favorites. And then as always, we always do like a weekend recap and just tell really funny stories. So if you don't listen to my podcast already, go check it out. It's with my best friend, Brooke Michio. It's called Gals on the Go. We have new episodes every Wednesday. And then after we record, I think I'll have a beat to come back. I'm going to submit the podcast to our producer and just do a couple other things. And then tonight, I'm really setting the scene for you guys, aren't I? I really should be going. Tonight, my high school, like my high school in Tampa, is coming to New York City. They're doing like an alumni tour or whatever. So tonight, they're going to be in New York City. They rented out the rooftop at Hotel Hugo from six to eight. So I'm so pumped. I was that girl that was very involved at my high school. I'm literally on the committee to like plan our reunion. I was like president of the alumni committee. Like, I loved my high school. OK, I enjoyed it. So I'm really excited. The headmaster is going to be there, one of the deans. And then also our theater director is going to be there, who I love so much. I'm so excited to see him and a few other teachers that I didn't necessarily have. But and then some of my friends that like I'm just excited because I know all the people, a lot of alumni that live in New York City that I've talked to recently are going to be there. And I haven't seen them in so long. So I think it's going to be really fun. I'm like, I don't know what to wear because a lot of my friends are like coming from work. But I won't be doing that. So I'm like, should I wear a blazer? Like, I don't know the vibe. That's what today is going to be like. Tomorrow, I'm getting my hair done. Wednesday is spray tan prep, pack, all the things. So, yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this week in my life. It's a little chilly outside, so I'm going to put on this puffer. This top is from Amazon. I think it's linked to my Amazon shop, which is always linked down below. I have some fun little Amazon workout sets linked on there. I got these new sneakers because my hokas just got ruined stepping in puddles in New York City. I've washed them many times and now they're just done. So I got these Adidas ones. I will link them below if I can find them. But I actually got them on Amazon. Crazy enough, I've always wanted these sneakers and I found them. So I was very excited about that. They're super comfortable so far. But my trainer has actually been having me take off my shoes when I work out. So these are kind of just like, I don't know, when I have them on, I guess. Because apparently she thinks it's better, especially with weights and stuff, to have your balance. I don't really know. I'm probably saying the wrong thing. I have this little duffel pack. I actually got it from Rare Beauty in a PR package and I'm obsessed with it. It's the perfect cute little gym bag. We've got a nice little walk ahead of us. I need to know if any of you ever get tulips. Like I've had them for a little bit now and they're just getting wild. And one of you DMed me on Instagram saying that your tulips are going wild too. Like, I don't think, I mean, maybe they're dying. That's really sad. But I just changed the water yesterday. They've just been doing what they want, you know? So I don't really know what to do about it. I mean, it doesn't look bad. It's just when I sit down to do work, it's like, oh, I got to move the tulips out of the way. She is indeed a gal on the go. Let's start the day. OK, I just finished my workout. We're going to attempt to shower at the gym. They have towels here, which is really nice. The shower looks pretty nice. I'm pretty impressed. So let's see how this goes. And terrible lighting. I'm going to get Chipotle. Then we're going to go to the office and prep for the interview and then the podcast. We're just wearing our don't text merch for the show today because we're launching this week. It's already out by the time you guys watch. So don't text. 2.0 is out. We have mugs, two different colors of hoodies. There's a design on the back, too, that I'll show you guys when we get to the studio. But Brooke's wearing the white one. I'm wearing the black one. All right, well, here's my bowl. Oh, gosh. All right, the gals are here. We're wearing our don't text. Wait, Brooke, turn around. Oh, the back? Yes, this is the back. It's don't text. The photos came out so good. It's actually like you could see the black and white one. Like the don't text is so much clearer on it. Yeah, well, you hold this still really good. Yes, of course. A little modeling moment. Whoo. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, it's this and then the mugs, which are this same shape. But nude text nude in the nude. So get your merch, get your merch here. Thanks for holding it. Of course. We're going to do our little interview for the New York Post and then record an episode of girls and go. Whoo. You're back now. I just pulled my hair back in some clips. So just ate an apple. I'm feeling a little sleepy, but that's OK. I just like I'm just not putting together a lot of how today's a big social battery day and I need to like charge it up because I know when I go to this event for my old high school, it's going to be a lot of like, what are you doing now? And like, what's new and all that and just like a lot of talking. So I'm just not that I can talk, but I'm still sleepy, so I just need to like muster up some extra energy. So I have like an hour until I leave and I'm just trying to figure out what would serve me in this hour. I just listen to a podcast. I uploaded all of our clips for our producer for the podcast. So those are not charging up kind of things. But I'm just trying to decide what I should do. And I need to figure out what I'm wearing. Maybe I should do that now. I don't know. I also just got this Black and Decker like handheld vacuum. It's charging right now. I think I hope because my friend told us about it. She like uses it. She uses it for like her countertop, her stovetop. I feel like it's just good. Like if I just need to get something quick, like just a little corner. So I'll keep you guys posted on how it works. I just got it on Amazon. I literally just looked up Black and Decker handheld vacuum vacuum. Oh, my God. Vacuum. That was really silly of me. So, yeah, I can't wait to play around with this. I am cracking up because cow packs just did this collaboration with Taco Bell. And this suitcase, tell me it doesn't look exactly like my big red suitcase that everyone made fun of me for. And I'm kind of obsessed with this because it's like it's a carry on, I believe. But I feel like it can fit a lot stretchy. I think there's stuff inside, too, because I've seen some of my other friends that got this. I saw their stories. I just haven't opened it yet. I just love all the little compartments, like love a soft luggage. You know, they just fit more. OK, so thank you. Cowback Little Red is here now. Big Red, we have Little Red. All right. I want to figure out what I'm wearing tonight. So it's like weird. Like my school also had dress code. And on Fridays, we had a uniform. And I know a lot of people are coming from work, so they're in like business ish attire. I know one of my friends is wearing a dress, but I'm sure it's like a corporate dress. So I'm just trying to match the vibes, even though, you know, I'm proud of who I am and my style. I don't know. I don't want to be uncomfortable. So I have this dress. I haven't tried it on yet. So I'm about to. It's from Rails. And it's a midi dress, which I love, and it's flowy. It does have cutouts on the side, but it cinches. I think this could be really cute. It is a little chilly, so I need to wear a jacket. And I honestly don't know what jacket would go with this. Now that I say that out loud. But this could be cute with like even sneakers or like some low heels. I don't know. Or I have my classic like black blazer, blue jeans with like my green platform heels and my like green bag, which I feel very me. But then I was like under the blazer I would wear. I typically would wear like a crop top or a bralette. And that's not the vibe tonight. But I don't want to wear like a white button down under. That's just like, OK, she really tries to be businessy. So I am unsure what to do. Let me try on this dress and let's see what we can do with this. OK, this is really cute. It's definitely a little bit oversized on me, which I don't know. Maybe it's just not meant for me. And I just also don't know how this would look with a jacket over top. I don't think it's very flattering on the body, literally at all. It's kind of giving paper bag. So we're going to go with no. I'm actually laughing at myself right now because it was just like I shouldn't wear a button down with like a blazer. It's giving off like she's trying too hard. But these are both from Girf Avenue. I've never tried them on together, so we'll see how it looks. But if I like kind of have it more open under this blazer, I'm thinking with leather pants could be a move. And I'd feel like comfortable, but still cute. I just I just don't want to wear like a crop tank under this. I don't know. You know, it's I don't know. I don't know. This is an interesting situation to be in. I'm definitely thinking too deep into it, but we're going to try this with either some jeans or leather pants might switch out the blazer might switch out the top. Or I could just do the top and wear like a leather jacket and then take off the jacket when I get there. I think it's inside and outside. I don't know. I'm stressed. I text my friends. I was like, I'm nervous. And they're like, literally, why? But I just am. OK, I can't stop laughing. This can't happen. This just this cannot happen today. And I'm dying laughing. This literally looks like my Friday uniform in high school. We wore a navy blazer with a skirt, literally this gray color. No, no, no, no. We got to be more Danielle. OK, this outfit feels very me. I think it's a good balance of like just everything. So I don't know. The more I look at it, the more I don't like it. But I think it's OK. I switch the top. This is a me out top. I got on revolve. I'll link it below. Drift Avenue blazer jeans are from Lioness. And then I'm wearing my white Steve Madden heels. They're probably a little bit out there, but they honestly just give me so much confidence and I like feeling tall. I slicked back my hair. Just couldn't be bothered. Touched up my makeup from today. And then I'm trying to decide between these two bags. Like the white would be fun because it's like the white matches the shoes. But it's almost weirdly too matchy. I don't know. And then I have my green, which I'm kind of leaning towards because there's some green in the shirt. It would tie it in. Yeah, I think I think I like the green. It's just a little pop of color, you know? Good morning, everybody. Oh, my gosh. The event was from six to eight. I have pimple patches on. The event was from six to eight p.m. I stayed till ten thirty. I was the last person. I was one of the last people there. Needless to say, it was so much fun. I saw so many people from my high school that I didn't even know lived in New York. Like they had their recently moved here. There was also like students that, you know, I knew that were younger than me. So they're still in college. They go to college in the city. Oh, my gosh. It was so fun. I didn't even drink that much. They had sincere wine, which is just so good. So I just kept like grabbing and grabbing and I was like, but it was so fun and I reconnected with some older girls and like we're getting dinner next week. So highly suggest. I know like not a lot of high schools obviously do stuff like this, but it was really, really fun. I am slightly. I was literally at that point where I was like, guys, should we go out? And everyone's like, Danielle, it's Monday. And I was like, I'm so happy they said that because as soon as I got home, I was like, I'm going to bed. But in the moment, you know, I was just having a good time. Hotel Hugo is beautiful. I got like one clip on the roof. It was really nice, though, because no one asked what I did. Like it was everyone like knows the vibe. So not that like there's any shame in what I do. But I was just like, I just like my toast is ready. I was like, I just don't feel like going into it. But I had my YouTube channel in high school and I was definitely known as a YouTube girl. So I guess people just figured that I'm still her. And I am proud to just made like a piece of toast. I want like eggs and stuff, but I just can't do that right now. But I need something in my stomach before I have my morning coffee. I'm in a silly mood. But it was really, really fun. And it was funny, too, because all the other people there were like, yeah, I was telling my friends like I'm going to my high school like New York City reunion. I guess I do this every other year. And you know what? I'm proud of it. And so I was like, I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that because a lot of my friends were like, you're high school, like you're not. It's not your college. And I was like, no, no, no. It's a piece of sourdough toast. That kind of day. I also laid in bed a little too long because I went on TikTok, which was a mistake and I wasn't even watching TikTok. I saw this girl's live and her name is Fly With K and she was like preparing a take off on her little plane. And I watched the whole thing. That was probably 30 minutes, like going through all of her checklists. And so I just laid in bed an extra 30 minutes. That's OK. Anyways, feeling silly. I feel like I'm just in my living room with my roommate. You guys talking. So I'm going to recover and eat this piece of toast and make some coffee. I can put some eye patches on. I've got pimple patches on because I didn't put them on last night and just wake up for the day. All right. This seems to be my new favorite breakfast. I still haven't had coffee because I was just way too hungry. Sometimes I like to drink coffee and then eat. But like sometimes I just wake up so hungry. It's tortilla, two scrambled eggs, hot sauce, avocado on the side. So yummy. Come to mama, baby. Give me the coffee. OK, so this has been charging all night. Let's give it a shot here. Oh, oh, I like it already. I will link this below. My coffee is still going, but oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh, the best thing ever. Oh, my gosh. It's just so much easier to like get in hard places. My ice roller just vibing there. We I'm obsessed. Watching Younger right now. Guys, I just vacuumed like my whole floor. And I know you're like, OK, Danielle, we had to like bend down the whole time. But I was able to get like all in here. This was epic. Like actually epic. I am obsessed. I can't believe I didn't have one before. All right. I just showered and did my makeup. My hair looks bad because we're about to get our hair done. I think I'm going to stick with I'm doing my color today. I think we're going to still do darker roots, but they're getting like really low and it looks good. But I just want a little bit brighter still. So we're going to bring up the face framers around my face, obviously. So are the money pieces, whatever the blonde pieces and then just a little bit higher up. I go to Matt's hair in New York City. She's amazing. I was really nervous coming to a new city and not finding a place. But obviously, I live in New York City. Like there's going to be people you get what I mean, though. She treats my hair really well. I'm going to get my extensions bumped up one last time. And I think I'm going to talk to her today about going back in a couple of weeks before I go home for Memorial Day to get my extensions out for the summer. So just because like jumping in the pool, going to the beach and just stuff like that, it's just a lot easier not to have your extensions in. And I want to be able to do that like perfect slick back bun. And it's a little bit hard to do when you have extensions, naturally. But I love my extensions. So it's going to be hard to depart. But I did it last summer and I was really happy I did it. Let my hair breathe. And I use less heat on my hair in the summer anyways. So, yeah, I'll show you guys my outfit. We're going to be there for a hot minute. I wanted to be comfortable, but the reason I put on makeup and I want to look kind of cute is, well, when you get your hair done, you're like, oh, I wish I had makeup on. It's fine. And then after we do our hair, me and Mads and then Brooke and Kelly are actually meeting us for lunch because Brooke goes to Mads and Kelly and Mads have been trying to meet up. So we're just doing a little lunch somewhere near the salon. So I wanted to be like semi cute. I cannot take these pants off. Seriously obsessed with them. They're from Urban Outfitters. They're from the women's section. I will link them down below. They're kind of low rise, but like I'm kind of here for it. They're not like too low rise. I don't know. I just feel really, really good in them. And they're the perfect amount of bagginess if you have like bigger thighs like me. And I just I feel really confident and good in them. This top I got off of Revolve. It's off white and then my hair is blah. I'm going to be using this tote bag today because it's a little rainy, gloomy day. I needed to put my umbrella somewhere and I'm going to stop by the bodega under her salon and get some snacks because I will literally be there for a hot minute. And then I'm going to wear this like black bomber jacket. Well, my hair is just not the vibe right now, but it's OK. I just want to have it up and away from my face. Let's go get our hair done. Woo. Just finished lunch. Kelly was headed to an event. I'm here with Brooke. We're going in gal's afternoon, of course, as it is. We're headed into Sephora. It was so funny in front of Kelly. I was like, do you want to go to Sephora? And she was like, what? I want to go to Sephora. So I can't say the last time I shopped like in-store Sephora. I just love this online usually. Yeah, I know. Yeah. But I need more Kosis Revealer Concealer. You're just talking about on the pod, too. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah, it's drying out now. So I get that. Also, this is the hair. Mads did a really great job. She couldn't end up coming to lunch. So she was missed. But yeah, I'm really happy with it a little bit lighter. And we're going to go shop now. JK, they're out. I mean, I guess I could get the point five. No, that would be too, too light. I usually am like this. And I think 2.5. Well, I could try 2.5. This is the concealer. I love it so much. Came in for one thing. And this is what happens now. We both have baskets. Yeah, you're going to need the basket. We were getting little travel things. It's fun. Back now. Sorry, the lighting is so yellow. It's very gloomy outside. It's raining now. Had such a lovely day. I was wanting to go to my roof because I feel like I've been inside all day because the hair appointment took like three hours typically, which is crazy. It goes by so fast. But yeah, love my hair. It looks so good. When it's so house with Brooke and Kelly, which was just so nice because they've both met and like party settings and like they're both two really, really good friends of mine. But they've never gotten like have like a really good conversation like during the day. So it's really nice to just like have lunch. And it was just like a good moment. And then Brooke and I went to Sephora because Kelly was going to do like a staycation with Sally Hansen. I literally went in to get one thing, as you guys know, the Cosis Revealer Concealer, and I didn't have it. And then I tried another concealer. They didn't have my shade. They just didn't. They didn't have a lot of stuff in stock. I was not happy about that, but it's OK. So the concealer that I ended up trying, let's see, I didn't take a bag. I just like put it all in my tote, but now I can't find everything. But I do a little haul. Brooke and I were like dying in the minis, the mini section, like little travel size stuff because it's just so fun. So I'm going to Palm Springs this weekend. So I got the travel size of the Skin Fix Barrier Plus Cream. This is the triple lipid peptide cream. So good. I literally bought this a while ago, the big one. And it's just such a good moisturizer. I love it. Oh, OK. Well, the big one, you like pump it. I should have figured this one. It's not like more hygienic, I guess. It's just really good moisturizer. And it'll be good to have because the desert, you know, it's dry there. It's not like humid like the East Coast. I got a mini dry bar detox dry shampoo. I got this purely because Brooke talked about it on our podcast episode this week. It's the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops. She uses it as like skin prep before she puts her makeup on. And I'm very interested. She just said she loves it so much and her skin's looking really good. So I was like, I'll give it a shot. I love watermelon, too. So Kelly does this thing. Kelly, if you guys don't know, she's a makeup artist, MakeupXK on Instagram. She has this thing that she started called Gym Lips, where she she like wears makeup to the gym, not makeup, but like she does her lips, not even it's like it's called Gym Lips, but it's like running errands, lips, whatever. So she over lines or like outlines her lips with lip liner using a lip liner that's very similar to the shade of her natural lip. And then she uses just like a regular lip balm or gloss over to not gloss, like a lip balm. So it looks like you have like these naturally bigger lips. So she'll do like the lip liner with like a lip balm and then like doesn't wear makeup or she'll wear like the super goop like glow screen or something. Anyways, I want to try it out. So the makeup artist at Sephora helped me find this one. This one's called Huda Beauty and it's in the shade Honey Beige. It's one of their lip liners. I think it was this one I was swatching. Just super similar to my lip color. Updates to come on how it'll go. And then this is exactly what Kelly uses the summer. Friday is just like lip balm. So it feels really good. It's vanilla. Yeah, it's vanilla. So this one's the clear one. I have this already and I love it. It's in the like the mauve color or whatever, but I liked this one because I want to try the Gym Lips thing because I'm inspired, obviously. The concealer that I ended up trying, though, because like literally everything was out. The Armani Luminous Silk Multipurpose Glow Concealer because I love the Armani Luminous Silk foundation, obviously. So I was like, oh, this looks like it has a good thick wand. I need more under eye concealer. Let's give it a shot. So I'll let you guys know how it is. And I think that's it. Yeah. So that's what I got at Sephora. It's $6.45. I have some emails to get to. I just need to clean. I left my apartment in a tizzy this morning. I didn't make my bed, you know, stuff like that and just enjoy my night to myself. So, yeah, I'm going to do that now. Cozy vibes at the apartment right now. The rain stopped. It's just a nice, chill day. I also wanted to note, I don't know if any of you guys care about Ryan, my boyfriend, he got to go into an office today, his first time ever going into an office with his job here in the city. And he's so happy. It was so cute. He sent me Snapchats this morning. He was in his suit. He took the subway. He went to Fidai, where his building is. And like, he's thriving. I think he gets to go a couple of days this week. His company basically just like rents out office space when they want. So I guess they were doing it this week. I'm just so happy for him. He's like eating with his coworkers right now. It's so cute. I can't. He like went to Brookfield Place and got lunch. Oh, love that for him so much. I just got a package in the mail. What's new? But a package, a very exciting package, a pair of boots that I literally put an order in, I think, four or five months ago, maybe three with city boots. They have these amazing, beautiful, really fun cowboy boots. And they came just in time for stagecoach before I even knew I was going to stagecoach. So I'm really excited. I'm like, OK, I have an outfit that they can go with. I wasn't sure if they were coming in time, but I still like planned an outfit around these boots. They're allowed. But like that is what we want. Also, Gals on the Go merch on sale now. Gals on the Go podcast dot com. Don't text. Don't text in the back, too. Oh my God, I'm so excited. So gorgeous. The packaging is just a little unboxing, I guess we're doing. Oh, gosh, I see it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Literally, I am unwell. Red boots with hearts. So I got red because I was like, go dogs. Obviously, to wear to a game day would be so iconic and they're just so fun. And then the special part about them, I got these customized. So on either side, I'm literally like so sappy, but I thought it'd be cute for like when I go to game days and stuff. UGA 2021. I'm obsessed. These are so cute. They smell so good. Wow. So that's happening. Yay. Oh, my gosh. These are so cute. Ah, I'm so excited. My little late night snack is romaine lettuce plain. I know I'm really, really weird. Going to watch a little bit of this movie before I go to bed. I watched it one of my fashion merchandising classes a while back. It's on HBO Max. It's called The First Monday in May. Next week is Matt Gellos. So I'm just, you know, trying to get hype. It's it's really good. I recommend it. And just like that, it's time to go to bed. See you guys in the morning. Good morning. It's Wednesday. Good morning, guys. I slept fabulous. And I just put, you know, my clips back. And I woke up this morning, get my hair out of my face. My blowout still looks really good for my hair appointment yesterday. We're going to try. I've tried them a couple of times, but I realize I don't think I've vlogged it. We're going to try the freeze tools by Georgia Louise. I got these on Revolve. Also, there's about to be a knock on the door. I woke up early in bed and I realized I didn't have any more half and half. And that just ruins the whole morning for my coffee situation. So I use that app Getter for the first time. It used to be called 1520. Now it's Getter. Literally 12 minutes ago, I ordered it and he's here. So I got half and half more dishpods and more Ziploc baggies because I needed them. I love this app. Anyways, these are like cryo face tools, I think. I don't really know. Gosh, I love this app. Got my half and half. That was the most important part. OK, um, that is one of the benefits living in New York City. There are a lot of very fast, amazing delivery services. I always make sure to tip, obviously, because they are doing literally God's work. I've just been going like this. I think the point of these, it's kind of like just using any other face tool. But since there's two of them, you can use them at the same time. So it's not just like feeling it on one side, like when you're ice rolling. I don't know. That's why I was intrigued by it, because I get like double the freeze on either side or like sometimes I'll just hold it and like bring it up or like just hold it under my eyes. Also, be careful with these things, you guys. I've seen a few TikToks now where people like you're supposed to like rub it, which I didn't do, actually. You're supposed to rub it on your hands or your arm before when you're using like an ice roller or something like this, because you can literally like burn your skin off from it being too cold. I've literally saw TikToks about it. So just be smart. Then once you rub it on your arm a couple of times, you're usually good. But I just like hold it. I don't know. It feels amazing. I like using different facial tools for different things. But when I opened my freezer this morning, this felt right. Today is going to be a good day. It's sunny out. I got to see Ryan briefly last night. I didn't vlog it. He like came back. He like didn't get back to like 10 o'clock, so he just popped by here before he went home. We just hung out for a little bit, but he had so much fun at the office and he's there again today. So, so happy for him. But yeah, it's a beautiful sunny day. I hope I will get outside because I have my workout at 1130. That's like my routine. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I love my walk. It's like a 30, like a 25 minute walk. And I really enjoy it. So I'm glad it's sunny out because that makes the walk a lot nicer. And then I have a lot of computer work to do. So I'm kind of debating bringing my laptop and then straight from my workout going to a cafe or something and getting a ton of work done because sometimes it's just easier for me to focus if I'm like, OK, I'm here to get this stuff done. Like it has to get done rather than coming to my apartment and like lollygagging around. I also love going to the public hotel lobby. They have like a coffee shop, which sounds really weird, but they have like this whole workspace area that's absolutely amazing. And they have a coffee shop that also has food and stuff. So I don't know, I'm kind of leaning towards that and then come back, shower. I'm getting a spray tan with glow to go. And then I just need to pack. Big packing day for Palm Springs. I obviously have all my outfits planned out for stagecoach. I tried one of them on last night with the red boots, fire flames. I also need to remember to wear the red boots today because apparently I really need to break them in. So I'll just be wearing them around my apartment while I pack. I'm very serious because I do not want to be in pain. That's stagecoach. Um, and yeah, so it's kind of the layout of the day. Nothing crazy, but I will be taking you guys along. You guys are like, what are you doing with your face? Now that I have my half and half, it's going to be a good day. I just feel it. OK, it's very early. Usually I'm a night packer, but I want to feel good about like going to get some work done after my workout, not coming straight here. So I thought I'd get a little done now and then I'm going to make some breakfast because I'm so hungry. This is what we have going on right now. I just laid everything out that I'm wearing to the festival and I realized I have five full outfits. Well, I'm still wearing I'm waiting on a pair of jean shorts to come literally today. I don't know. I'd like them all. I've tried them all on this one. I'm obsessed with like it's so fun. It's a romper, but it kind of shows my booty a little bit more than I'd like. So that's just like a backup. I'm going to bring it because it's so fun, obviously. And I mean, it's so fun. And then that dress is this beautiful like bodysuit dress from Free People that is just so easy and flowy. And I think it's just like a really good festival if I'm going to wear it with like black boots and a black hat. I'm still waiting on the shorts for this. I'm doing like a denim moment. So I need to try it on. If it doesn't feel good, then I'll like knock out that outfit and do that one. Maybe. But this outfit is a definite yes. This outfit is a definite yes. This outfit is with the red boots. You guys can go to my Instagram at Danielle Carolyn to probably already have seen these outfits in action. So that's why I'm not going too in deep. Oh, these jewels go with this. That's a body chain. This fanny pack is from Stoney Clover. And then this little belt to also go around. It's very fun. So, yeah, I just want to get all these things in a row. I have packing cubes and I might like put in each individual outfit in an outfit in a packing cube just because it's all like delicate stuff. I don't want to. I don't know. Just thinking out loud here. And then once I get all of this packed away, then I will do I just need some bathing suits because our house is a pool. Some cover ups. We're doing a photo shoot with spritz like the alcohol while we're there, too, which we love their canned drinks. And we have to wear like, you know, spritz colors. So I need to pack some like red, yellow or orange and then just some comfy clothes. Other than that, we won't like go to dinner or anything. Like we'll get dinner at the festival. We want to be there as long as we can. That is the energy we're going with right now. Now it's time to make breakfast. I'm honestly feeling just another breakfast taco because those are so good. This is just heaven on earth. Outer Banks. No, I'm kidding. But look how good this looks. I just did my dishes cleaned off my counters. You can't really tell because there's so much stuff everywhere. I need to find a new place for the vacuum because I don't think it's very sanitary to have it on the counter. But that's where it is right now. I have this out because I want to fill up my supplements before I pack. I have some Keurig pods that I'm going to take to the stagecoach house. I have this cow pack with Taco Bell collaboration here. They sent over a couple of things. And one of the things are these awesome packing cubes that are like mild sauce packets, which I think is hilarious. One large, one medium, one envelope and two small. So I'm going to attempt to use these to like pack each outfit, which is obviously excessive. But I have like accessories for each outfit, and I just think that makes sense because other than that, I'm just wearing like casual clothes. So I think I'm going to do that. OK, this is my first time trying on this outfit. I've tried on the shirt. I'm just holding it because I haven't like done it yet. I do not like it. It is not the vibe. It's too Coachella, not stagecoach. The pants, the top aren't what I thought it would be. I love this top so much. It's from IMGia. And this hat, I don't know, it's just something's not right here. So I'll either nix this outfit, which is fine. I have four others or wear different pants. OK, I don't know why in this moment I want to do this, but I'm about to leave for the gym. And Brooke and I were talking on the podcast this week how we want to start wearing sunscreen every day. And I have this super goop glow screen. I love the unseen sunscreen. But this one, I think, has a little tint to it. And I was like, oh, I'm like going to a coffee shop after. So like, we'll try it out. I don't usually like to wear makeup or anything when I work out. But I mean, this is barely anything. Yeah, OK. It's not really like tint. I mean, I guess it has a little tint to it. Just gives me a little glow. I'll put a little bit more on like my cheeks. But it's SPF 40. I realize how important it is to wear sunscreen every day. And I'm going to start doing it. That is thanks to super goop. So I also told Brooke I would tell her how the glow screen is because she only has the unseen. Very impressed. Very glowy. See, it's really hard for me to like not want to put on more makeup, though. I'm not going to do gym lips. I'm not comfortable yet. Sorry, Kelly. I want to do gym lips when I'm like running errands. But I'm just putting on some lip balm. Just brushed my teeth. This has been my favorite perfume. This is just like the worst angle. This is my favorite perfume as of recently. Te Noir from Le Labo. It's like a unisex scent. It's like clean. Smells like the edition hotel, if you guys have ever been there. I'll leave this down below. I feel like my skin looks nice and glowy now. It didn't like make me feel like I needed to put on more makeup, which is good because I hate like like, oh, now I need to put on concealer, you know, but like just give a nice little sheen. Headed to my workout with Jane. Here's the fit. Just threw on this bomber. Hopefully it's getting a little bit warmer out today. It's sunny. Have some fun today, my tote says. So, yeah, I think I'm going to go to the public hotel after my workout. Let's do it. Just got back. I'm currently in my workout outfit, so I popped on my red boots. I just got this Swiffer because my bathroom floors get so dirty. And this is the wet one, like there's a wet thing on it. So let's see how this goes. I'm literally just like cleaning in my red boots, but it had to happen. And then we're going to shower. Wow, I'm failing. Then we're going to shower and pack and just do other things around the apartment. We're pretty much in the apartment all day. Hi, guys. So it's 526 p.m. in a little bit and like five minutes. My spray tan girl is going to be here at glow to go is coming to me. I love them so much. The tans are amazing. And it's so nice not having to leave my apartment because they come, they spray tan you and you don't have to like get dressed right away and like be worried about like ruining it. Like I literally just walk around naked after she leaves. It's pretty awesome. I really hope my favorite girl is coming today. So I went to the public hotel to do work. I was really bummed because the upstairs area that's like my favorites, like once you go up the cool escalators, that main lobby, it was completely full. People are getting the memo. So there are no tables. So I went back downstairs and there's like these really cool little small bistro tables and I missed it. There's a sign that says, sorry, no laptops here. And I was just sitting there and there was like a ton of us sitting there with laptops on. And he was like, sorry, like this is for eating only, even though I was also eating. I understand. There's some places in New York that are like that, which I respect. Like I know my mom does that or like certain hours or something like you can't have your computers out, which I can appreciate. And I know like they want to create this like relaxing, cool atmosphere. So then the only place I'd love to say it was like this bar area, which a ton of other people were sitting there doing computers. So it was nice. But there's literally like a musical chairs. So I don't know if we'll go back unless like I know it's super not packed. I don't know if you guys live in New York and you care. But then I came back at the Swiffer, all that stuff. I just got off the phone with Ryan. He's at his office right now and he had a little bit of a break. And we were kind of talking about the next couple of months and what traveling looks like. And this is why I didn't make people like, what are you doing for summer? I'm like, oh, like nothing. Things are happening. Like I'm kind of looking ahead like this weekend stagecoach next weekend. Delaney's flying up to New York City for the weekend. Delaney leaves next Sunday on Mother's Day. My mom flies in at the same time she's flying out. My mom comes for a few days for Mother's Day. Then I'm going to Virginia that weekend the next weekend in May to meet Ryan's grandparents for the first time. It's like dad's parents that I've never met. And then like two weeks later, I'm going to go to Tampa. I decided for two weeks or pre recording a ton of the podcast episodes because I'm going home for Memorial Day because my friends from Georgia are like coming down for Memorial Day because we like always do that now. And I decided to like tack on a week before and a week after. I'm so privileged and so beyond thankful that I can work from wherever. The only thing I just had to get done was Brooke and I would pre record a few episodes, which I'm so thankful that she was OK with me doing that. And then just because I love Tampa so much, as you guys know, and got to soak it up and then I'll be here in most of June. And then the last weekend of June, I'm going to go to my family or last week of June, I'm going to my family reunion in Illinois to that every year except for one year during COVID. But I'm so excited and we're trying to figure out so Ryan can come to. It's just so good for the soul. My parents, my grandparents, Lake House and Southern Illinois. Good vibes. And then I think I want to go home for Fourth of July and we'll come back. And then Brooke and I are doing something in July together. And that's it. Hopefully I didn't stress you guys out. But I was like, OK, like, wow, a lot's happening. But and it's so funny. None of it's international travel. I just like haven't been like recently a little bit. I've been like, oh, international travel sounds nice, but it's just so much work. I've got the domestic flights down. I know how to do it. And then I just get so stressed when it's international, like even going to Mexico. I was so stressed. All good stress, of course. But I'm just realizing it's just a lot of my trips are to see people, which is funny. It's not funny, but like all of these trips that I listed basically are to be with people I love. So I'm really grateful for that. But yeah, I don't know if you guys care, but I just gave you that lowdown. Spray tan's about to happen. And then we really need to finish packing, which I mean, it's happening. It's happening over there. I just, oh, I need to get my suitcase. I meant to go do that before. I'm all spray tanned. Oh, dang it. I guess I could go run and do that now, but not in this robe. OK, you guys don't care. I am naked, but just got my spray tan and I love it. Tonight's dinner. I got myself some veggie rolls and I think these are dumplings. Yes, some yummy dumplings. I'm going to start with these as little appetizer. This will be my dinner later. Might need more food. We shall see. But I'm going to eat these for now. It's like 6.30. OK, update. I just had my dumplings. They were delicious. Things are happening here. I have this bin that I keep up there in my closet, which is nice. And I have all my swimsuits in it and like cover ups. So I want to have at least four swimsuits because we're there four days. Well, five days, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, but like Monday, we're traveling. And I don't know if I'll be in a bathing suit tomorrow or not. So I wanted to bring four, but then I brought a fifth because I just you never know. OK, you never know. These are my outfits right here, all nestled in their little sauce packet packing cubes that are honestly so fun. Don't know what to do about this hat now because the outfit that I wanted to wear it with, I tried on earlier and it actually wasn't a moment. So I feel like I should still bring it, though. I got this on 12thtribe.com. Oh, yeah, I think I did vlog. I feel like I did show you guys. Yeah, I did show you. So I'm trying to say I have one outfit like with this white dress and black boots. I feel like I'm just going to bring it. I'm just going to bring a ton of cowboy hats. I like bought a few on Amazon because I was really worried how they turn out in person. So I found this one on Amazon. This one is from 12th Tribe. That one back there is from Amazon. And this white one I got a while back at like a cowboy hat store in Georgia. And then this little pack right here, I'm just putting like comfy clothes and stuff to lounge around. And during the day, I'm still building that. And then I'm just bringing some cargo pants because you just never know. I'm obsessed with them right now. And then this dress because I just like it. And wardrobe malfunction could happen. I can't wear one of my outfits last minute. This wouldn't be a bad option to wear to stagecoach one day. Shoes, obviously bringing these. These are from Free People. They're so comfy. The material is amazing. I will link them down below because I'm so obsessed. And that's for one of my outfits. So one, two. And then I'm bringing my black cowgirl boots. And then I'm shipping white cowgirl boots to our Airbnb in stagecoach. In Indio, I mean. So that's that. That's my little sweat set that I'm wearing on the plane tomorrow. Drink poppy. We love. I have a feeling Margot Oshry may be wearing that tomorrow. We will see what happens. It's just so comfy. And yeah, I'll probably pack a pair of jeans and like a couple more like tanks, some biker shorts, and then something to sleep in. And then we're good to go. All right, you guys. I'm going to end the vlog here. I hope you enjoyed this week in my life in New York City, or I guess half of a week technically. Get excited because we're going to be doing a stagecoach vlog. Packing is just about done. I love you guys so much. Thanks so much for watching and being a constant supporter of my channel. And I'll see you guys very soon for my next video. Bye bye.
