VLOG ★ a realistic day in my life at home

Good morning, pookies. Welcome back. Should I start saying that? I'm extra excited because I'm starting out the vlog in Minnesota. Well, I guess you guys would have known that if you watched my last vlog, that I'm here now. It was so sweet reading you guys' comments on that video because so many of you were so excited for the Minnesota vlogs in particular, which just makes me so happy that you guys love them as much as I do. There's just something about Minnesota vlogs. They're just so homey and cozy. Maybe that is because I grew up here. But I'm trying to translate those feelings over to you guys via vlog. It's currently 8.30 in the morning. It's Thursday. I actually have a pretty packed day today. A lot of my Minnesota days, believe it or not, consist of nothing. They usually look like this. But today, I actually have stuff to do. I'm getting ready to go meet my friend, Rachel. Rachel and I go way back. So far back, unfortunately, we have a digital footprint to track it. Before I go see her, I am going to get coffee. However, I wanted to get coffee somewhere I've never been before. I was on Google last night and I found this cool coffee shop. It's called Ember Bean and Roasting Co. It's right next to the breakfast spot Rachel and I are going to. And then I see my grandpa for lunch. I might play pickleball with my family. So we will see. It's going to be a very Minnesota, a very Minnesota day. I don't know if you guys know, if I've told this to you before, but I love driving. That was one of the things I mourned the loss of when I moved to New York. Driving is like very therapeutic for me. Whenever I was sad or feeling any type of way, like my first instinct would be to go on a drive and just like listen to music. Well, the story is I could have just said, I love to drive and I'm happy to be back so I can drive again. I am going to, I already said that. I already said I'm meeting Rachel, didn't I? I'm getting ready to go meet my friend, Rachel. All right guys, fast forward 20 minutes and I'm at the coffee shop. It's funny the trajectory I had when I used to hate coffee. And then now five years later, I can't live without it. If you are a real one and you've been on here a while, you would remember that. But one of my favorite things to do is trying new coffee places. Like you guys probably know, I think it's so fun to try smaller coffee shops that like maybe you've never heard of, family owned, just cool things like that. I really don't know about this one. I have no idea the context or the history or anything of this place. It honestly looks very new. It looks very large. The building itself looks extremely large, I guess. Minnesota vlogging, here we go. This is, it's a lot harder to vlog here, I've noticed. People definitely aren't used to seeing this every day. Okay guys, I am at the coffee shop. I got an iced vanilla latte. I usually get skim milk, but they ran out, so I got oat milk instead. It looks very good. This place is massive. Like I've never been in a coffee shop that's this big. I'll have to show you guys like what I mean, but there's just so much seating. Also people here don't see vlogging as much, so I get extra nervous here. Please give me moral support. Okay, let's try it. Oh wait, cheers. It's so good. This is a great cup of coffee. I feel like especially after doing my coffee review video in New York, I really learned a lot about different types of coffee. It just exposed me to a whole different side. If you're in Minnesota, like the Twin Cities area, you should definitely go here. You will not have an issue with seating, that's for sure. They have plenty of it, but it's so good, and I love my coffee, and I want to honestly come here. See, now that's the thing. I hyper fixate on things, and this is probably gonna be the new spot that you guys are gonna see frequently. Okay guys, I stayed at that coffee shop a titch too long. I'm gonna go meet Rachel now. She's only down the street for breakfast, and I'm really excited to see her, so let's go. I'm driving right now, and I just have to say, I cannot stop thinking about how good this coffee is. It's so sunny today. The weather is beautiful. Okay, I made it to the restaurant. It's called Hope Breakfast Bar where we're meeting. We really like this place. We usually go to a different location, but it's really, really good. I also have her little gift. It was just her birthday, and she also just moved into a new place, so I had to get her like a housewarming birthday combined gift. Okay, well, I just spilled that all over the car, guys. I'll get that We are going to get some ice cream, I think. I slept until nine because Rachel sleeps until nine. Hi, grandpa. Hi. I thought this background was so beautiful until I moved and I saw that port-a-potty. Something that I've realized about myself is that I constantly am needing like stimulation of some sort 24-7, whether that's It's something I can athletically wrap my head around as someone who's not very athletic. My brother's working, so otherwise he would come with, but bye. I'm just kidding. I'm not ending the video. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
