A Day in My 30s in Melbourne | Yoga, Baking, Unboxing & Shanghainese | Aesthetic Lifestyle Vlog 【中字】

Good morning beautiful. In this video I'm going to try something a little different. I want to add a small component of background narrating to the videos going forward. Hopefully that'll make the videos easier to follow and also easier to watch. Let me know what you think, I would love to hear your feedback. So this is a new morning routine I would like to introduce to my life. Choose a quick 20 minute yoga session to start the day. I lit a scented candle in the background. Picked a short class on YouTube that's easier to follow for beginners. Hopefully this new routine will add some more energy to my days. My parcel from Sephora has finally arrived. I exchanged for a couple of samples using my reward points. They're both hair products. My hair is very dry so hopefully that helps a little bit. The main thing in this parcel is the Pat McGrath eyeshadow palette. This time I've got the number eight palette. I've been obsessed with the Pat McGrath eyeshadow range lately. The colors especially the glitters in their palettes are just out of this world. Check out this one, isn't it so pretty? For me the joy of these new colors are not just different looks I can achieve, it's the amount of fun I get every time I need to apply makeup. The makeup process used to be kind of like a chore and now with these beautiful new colors it's just so much fun. I feel like I'm creating a new look and exploring new ideas every time I do my makeup now and it's become something I really look forward to every time. Gets me really excited. I'm already really looking forward to the next time I need to go out and do my makeup. I've got a lot of new makeup ideas I want to try out. So now is a little baking time of the day. Baking in quotation marks for me. I've tried this many times but baking has not been my strength. I do however enjoy the process very much. So I buy cake mixing from the supermarket and pretend that I'm baking. I'm baking brownies today. All I need to add to the cake mixing this time are two eggs and 80 grams of melted butter. A little bit of an interesting fact to share with you. Apparently it is very easy to add the egg, milk and butter components to the cake mixing. So technically you don't have to add anything at all from your fridge. However it's been found that people like me actually enjoy adding our own egg, butter and milk to the cake mixing because it makes me feel more like I'm actually baking. Therefore those components are deliberately removed from the cake mixing ingredients. I can definitely see the logic behind this decision. After all what's the point of buying cake mixing if you can't actually bake? It's all part of the fun isn't it? And here very quick and simple. It's stir-fried rice cake which is a Shanghainese delicacy. It's something I grew up with and still have a lot of cravings for. Thankfully it's very very easy to make too. All you need is some rice cake which you can find easily from an Asian grocery and pretty much whatever protein or veggies you can find in your fridge. What I found today is a pack of bacon and some spinach leaves. The rice cake is to be boiled for a few minutes and then run under cold water for better texture. Then simply add the cooked rice cake to the cooked veggie and bacon and stir fry. For seasoning I'm adding two tablespoons of soy sauce, one tablespoon of oyster sauce, and a little scoop of this magic chili sauce. It's called Lao Gan Ma. It's been around for decades and it kind of makes everything taste really good. Mix well and now lunch is ready to be served. The drink to accompany today's lunch is just some soothing ginger tea. It tastes amazing as usual. I think it'll always be one of my favourite dishes. These two are just stainless steel bowls. Wide outside so I thought it's pretty. It's got measurements inside too. They're very light so I thought it would be good for a salad mixing bowl or a mixing bowl when I bake. These are three chopping boards I bought. Our chopping boards are a little bit old so I thought it's time to replace them. They're just very light and pretty and thin so it's easy for storage. I can use one for meat, one for veggies, and one for fruit or whatever works. They're pretty. Look at these. They're little baskets. They are supposedly sink filters. I bought the universal sizes. They're like a little cactus. I've got a yellow and a green one. The point is that I can also press the cactus and it just releases the bottom so whatever dirt accumulates in the sink can just fall out. I really hope they fit our sink. Then it's just some silicone creamy white utensils. They're actually a lot smaller than I thought though so I don't know. Spatula which is tiny. A spoon. This might be good for soup and a couple of toms.
