moving in with my boyfriend 🏡💌

Cheers! This is a big week. Charlie, my boyfriend, is officially moving in, moving out of his apartment, and moving into my house. I'm obviously working on some needlepoint projects, as always. I'm showing you guys some closet organization, talking about my recent reads, we're of course getting my favorite margarita on our bar, shooting some upcoming needlepoint launches, and just having the best week ever. So, I will talk to you guys in quite literally two seconds. Oh, can you see my leg? Can't see my leg go down a bit. Hi y'all, welcome back to another vlog. This is a very big, busy week. It's actually Thursday, as I'm starting this vlog. Last night, we hosted a stitch club, or like a cinema stitch club, if you guys are unfamiliar. If you live in Dallas, and you like to needlepoint, or even if you just wanna make some friends, cinema stitch club, the cutest thing ever. They rent out movie theaters, and then you sit, you watch a movie, you stitch with the girls, the best thing ever. Friend of mine did a little pop-up with them last night, and so that was really fun. Charlie's mom had surgery this week, so we've been doing a bunch of stuff, and just like all over the place. My house is a wreck. I've had batch days, like I've just been, I've had zero time to do anything outside of like, everything that needs to get done. So, I'm hoping that I'll have a little bit of time today, I don't necessarily think that I will. Anyway, drinking some coffee. Charlie officially moves in this week, his lease is ending on Monday, so we need to get everything out of this apartment, and moved in to this house, which we've already started that process, so I don't think we're gonna have too much this weekend. It's also Valentine's Day. I'm gonna go get ready, I actually need to run to the Needlepoint store. Yes, I have a billion things to do, but we have a Needlepoint launch, and I need to get one of them kitted for some content. I hope you guys enjoyed. Subscribe if you guys are new here, I feel like I always forget to say that. I know most people who watch these videos aren't subscribed, and if you subscribe, it really just helps me, it helps with the podcast, we can get cooler, better guests on, keeps you up to date on everything that we're posting and video-wise, and all that stuff, so. Anyway, I need to go get dressed, so it's not really the vibe for today. Guys, I did get a couple things from H&M, because I love H&M, first off. And second, I was getting served ads, and I feel a victim. One of the things I've already worn, but first off, I just feel like I never have good tops, like I only have the most basic of stuff, like a white t-shirt, I never have a good actual top. Is this the right one? Yes. So I got this, which I just thought was so cute and perfect, and I love a long sleeve, like I honestly might wear this tonight. I also got this long sleeve, that I am obsessed with, like how cute is that? Then I got this top, which is cute for like more of like a date night vibe, and it just has like a scarf that you wear around it. Maybe I am going on a date night tonight, so maybe I'll wear this, but depends on the temperature. But how cute, and I love polka dots. Like I used to not, anytime I'm like, I don't know about something, literally on the dot, like on the clock, six months later, obsessed. And then I also got this dress, which I really like, like this in the summer with some cowboy boots. I have no idea what I'm gonna do bra wise though, like what do I do bra wise? Even wearing this, just like a slip with a sweater on top, like how cute? I think this is it. Yes. How cute is this? Just this long sleeve flowy. I'm gonna show you guys a sample, just because I am obsessed. It's our first sample, we have edits, so this isn't the exact thing that's coming out, but it's no secret. I feel like I've said this maybe in passing. I actually don't know if I've said this, we're working on a friend of mine gardening collection, obviously. There's definitely some edits that we're making to this, and like for whatever reason, there's a marker on here. I don't know, it came like that. This is the first initial sample, like this is not what is launching, but the fit guys, when I say, you don't even need the gardening, I will be wearing this. Oh my God. This hat all the time, like, okay, maybe not with a hoodie. I don't know if you guys can tell how chic it is, but it is the most chic thing ever. Like I am obsessed. Like hello. This even with like a swimsuit, like I am obsessed. I also ordered the sickest necklace. I saw this online. Look at how fun that is. That is just the most fun necklace ever. This, especially the summer with like swimsuits. Oh my God. Obsessed. I made this vision board for my style for this year. And as you can see, it's basically all statement pieces and good hair. And it looks in Bali flats. Like it's just so good. I need to hang it here still. Moving the mirror here, I've actually really loved. It gives you, like it's just better and it makes the room feel bigger, but loving this. I also don't remember if I've shown you guys these or not yet, but I have already. Please forgive me. So sorry. I need to get new wallpaper for in here. I want to do like a cream and green stripe. That's very, very, very muted. So got to figure that out. But anyway, it's looking so cute in here. I'm finally getting ready and I'm feeling actually awake. So I'm going to run it to the needle point store very quickly to kit my new canvas. And also because it's launching next week. It will have already launched by the time you guys are watching this video, but I need to get this stuff done. So I have content for a friend of mine. Anyway, guys, I've had, as a business owner the past week, there's just been so many things that have gone wrong, which like owning a business is basically like you just put out problems like nonstop, but we just have had so many problems. And then we finally got everything sorted. It's finally working out. And they're like, obviously like completely out of our control. So last night at the pop-up, I felt so bad because for whatever reason, our system like shut down. Basically long story short, right as a pop-up started. It's with this massive line. We couldn't check anyone off for like probably 10, 15 minutes. And I was like, oh my God, I'm like actually going to die. And I just felt so bad. Also, I need to have people like someone else doing the checkout. So I can actually like talk to people and like spend time with y'all because I feel like that, of course, like I look fully forward to that. And I have to like check out and be really quick. So we didn't have that learning. That was a learning aspect, but the whole thing. So that was one thing, figured it out. It ended up working out. I was like, oh my God, I'm literally so sorry. Like this was just so bad. So whatever. But those are things that happen when you own a small business and you're doing things, learning curve, you know. Then last night we get back and we just launched our new dinner cards and nightcare cards in a custom updated 12, right? So our cards have like, our decks have like a certain amount of cards in them. They're perfect, great. And then there's like a title card as well. So I get back and I get a message from a girl who purchased one at the thing. And she was like, hey, just letting you know, like there's duplicates of a card in here. And I'm like, oh my God. Because also mind you, not only are these cards, the cards that we're selling on the website, these are the ones that we're also sending to Anthropologie. So I'm like, oh my God. So I was already verge of tears after just like the whole week, like there was just thing after thing after thing after thing, and then the pop-up. And then I get that message, which is like so nice of her, thank God she told me. And I was like, oh my God, I'm gonna lose it. So I go through the cards and sure enough, there is a duplicate of one of the cards. So if you guys get a card deck that are nightcap cards and there's a duplicate, it's actually totally fine because the entire deck in every single prompt is in there. There's just like, there's four extra of one card. The card, you're getting everything you paid for, regardless, just like a couple of bonus cards. We are actually going to rewrap them. So then I'm like, all right, how are we gonna figure this out? Freaking out because everything is individually wrapped in plastic. And I'm like, I would just go in and take all them out, but we need to like do the plastic and I don't know, whatever. Thank God my fulfillment center can do this. So now we're going through all like thousand plus of those card decks and taking all the cards out, then rewrapping them. So it's gonna be totally fine. Seriously, thank God someone let me know that before we sent out a ton of our product because we just like relaunched them. And it's nothing bad with a card deck, but the card deck is totally fine. If anything, you just get extra cards. But obviously like I care about excellence and we're not like doing that. Where's my rest? But of course, like I would much prefer there were too many than we're missing half the deck, you know? So anyway, it's just been a time and lots of problem solving in the problems have been solved minus the canvas shortage, which is going to be the end of me. My gut, my grandma is actually taping all the canvases for us. She has a little job. She's a little part-time employee, a friend of mine. So she came over this morning and picked up all the canvases and she's going to be taping them all weekend for launch on Tuesday. Tomorrow, we're gonna shoot them, which I'm really excited about. Also this ambery saffron perfume is the best perfume ever. I'm gonna try this Rare Beauty blush. I haven't tried their powder blushes. This is the matte bouncy blush in the shade Hope. I like to look sunburned. So I feel like this, oh, this is perfect. This is gonna be so good for summer because it is the true like sunburn color. I also have quite a few packages that I need to take to UPS. So I'm gonna do that today as well. I just got this jacket, this little long coat. It's perfect for spring from Carmen Says. Like this, even with like shorts or like a dress and boots, the spring is gonna be everything. I'm gonna wear my long-shot bag that I live for. Here is the fit, loving this. Just this white like top from Cezanne. Again, I need better tops. I just, I like this one, but it's just like my everyday thing like what top do you even wear? You know what? I literally am like, when I think of a top, I'm like, what do you get as a top? No idea. Anyway, Carmen Says jacket that I'm living for. The bell, I almost, I wanna say this is Cezanne as well. I cannot remember. Jeans or Abercrombie boots are old Takovas. These suede boots, the warmer tone, like these are the old Josie suede boots. They're not available anymore, but they do have a different suede up here that I have too. These are a little bit less warm, but I love these as well. These are just like my OG favorites. They're just a little bit warmer, if you guys can tell. I mean, they're all like so similar, but if you're interested in these, those are available. And then my longchamp bag that I put everything in. It's so crazy how much this holds. And a little headband, and we're off. Oh, and these are pearl earrings. Charlie got these for me for Christmas. I forget where I picked them out. I forget where we got them. I will link them though, because I wear them like pretty much every single day. They're just so classic and chic. I'm about to get on a very exciting call about some potential stitch tour things this summer. We have a lot of very exciting things happening, and I'm really excited. This is like one of my favorite needlepoint stores, over the moon. Hi. Hello. How are you? How are you all? I'm good. I look crazy. I have an express tanner on. It's date night tonight. We're going to Little Ruby's, which just opened in Dallas. I poured myself a cup, a cup? Okay. I poured myself a glass of wine. I'm going to curl my hair, because tomorrow's a big day, and I'm not going to have any time. By the time that I shower this self-tanner off, I have 10 minutes to get ready. Going to go shower and do my makeup in no less than 10 minutes. It's 5.28, with two minutes to go. I'm ready. I need to put a lip on, but that is in my purse near the car. So, I just inhaled that. Going to finish my wine. This is the life I was meant to live, truly. Okay, so here is my outfit. This top is Free People. My boots are Tacobas. I have little shorts on under, and then I have a little Skims bodysuit on. My rings are Tyler Kingston. My bag is Blue Canary. I stitched it. The more I look at it, the more I love it. And we're heading off to dinner. I'm back home. I worked out. I went to shoot our needlepoint collection, stopped at Charlie's to help a little bit with the move. All of that stuff has to be out by Monday, so all of that will be situated. He doesn't have that much stuff. It's gonna take no time at all. And then this afternoon, we have to go look at some stuff, and then we're gonna go, of course, to Honor Bar, and then go check on his mom. She just had surgery, and she's getting back today. So, anyway, I just got a package. I have been falling victim to TikTok ads of H&M stuff, left, right, and center, and I got these two things. I just thought these were so cute, because also, multiple times, I've thought I wish I had a turtleneck that wasn't a real turtleneck. And look at how amazing this is, a little cute chocolate brown moment. It's gonna be in the 70s today, so I don't think I'm gonna wear these today. But even this is so cute. I also got this top, which I just think is amazing. You guys know I'm trying to get good tops. And then, I got another fur coat, and my fur coats that I have are so drastic and dramatic, and just not the easiest things in the world to wear. This one feels a little thinner, and I love this. I will be wearing this in New York. Like, look at how cute and fun this is. And, as always, I don't know, I think I like this. I wanted one that was colored a little bit differently, but it was out of stock, and it just looks amazing, but I do think that this is really cute. And I like to buy this with a belt, jeans, boots in New York City. I just love that. So, anyway, I need to actually hang up all my other, I have my other H&M order right here, because I'm just really on my H&M train, and I need to figure out what I'm gonna wear today. Actually, it might be a dress. I just got Shocker from H&M, so updates to come. I'm ready for our fun little afternoon. This top, H&M Shocker. This necklace is Kendra Scott, also Kendra Scott. And then my earrings are Arie, I wanna say, also. Also, Charli got me a tennis bracelet, and I am obsessed. Like, it's just perfect. My top, H&M, is Reformation, my favorite jean from Abercrombie. The low, oh my God, I'm just, I'm just hitting everything today. The low rise, loose, curve love jean. I always talk about them. And then I love these. These are brown suede sazon belly flats. And then these, you guys will, like, this is so crazy. Okay, these sunglasses, they're actually running sunglasses. They're from the brand Bonser, and I'm obsessed. When I was running all the time, I kept saying, like, I really need cute running sunglasses. And then they launched this brand, and I love them. They're so good. And I actually, now that I haven't been running lately, I'm just, like, wearing them as my normal, actual, like, everyday sunglasses. But they're my favorite just, like, everyday sunglasses, let alone the fact that, like, they're actually running sunglasses. It's amazing. When you wear them and you run in them, like, you can't even tell that you have anything on. They are so good. I like my outfit. I really wanted to wear, like, cowboy boots and a dress and stuff, but I tried on the dress, and it just, like, wasn't working, so. All right, we're off. ♪♪♪ Guys, I am experiencing some major culture shock, okay? So, happy Valentine's Day. I actually, like, I cannot believe this. So, my family, like, this is just kind of what we do for everyone's birthday and Christmas. Like, we just send direct links exactly to what we want, and I had known what Charlie had gotten me, or I thought, so for Valentine's Day, because I picked it out in, like, this tennis bracelet that I just love. By the way, it is Ori. I looked it up because I linked it, so I was like, I know, I know where it's from. And it's so perfect, and I'm really trying this year, as we've talked about nonstop, to really, like, invest in statement pieces that I'll wear forever, that I'll keep forever, that I just will love. Anyway, so I was like, I felt bad even asking for that. Like, I thought that that was a lot, but he was asking, and I was like, I do like this, but, like, we can do something less, like, whatever. I was, like, really, truly not thinking, like, I just felt like it was too much to ask for for that period, but I was like, okay, like, I'll, you know. So, I already felt bad about that, but I was like, okay, like, whatever, I'll wear it every single day. I love it so much, you know, whatever. Anyway, so, and there was a couple other, like, smaller things that I, like, oh, that's cute, I love this, whatever. And I knew that he picked them up, like, the rooster icon glass, because everyone's, like, tagging me the chickens, and he's like, I know you love that. And then he also surprised me and got me the gummy bear one, too, because, like, I love gummy bears. So then, today, this morning, we're going through, and I thought, like, four, five, I was like, oh, I already know what I got. Like, he said he got me, like, a surprise. I thought it was, like, something small or whatever, like, whatever. Anyway, then he pulls this out. Is this not the most insane thing ever? And it's satin, like, I love, but that is not it, guys. He also gets me this, which is a clutch slash pouch, and it's red because I've been wanting red bags, and I want more of, like, statement, like, I love the, like, classic Chanel stuff. Like, you guys have seen me when I'm in here, and I'm getting ready, and I'm wearing all red, and I'm like, God, I wish I had a red bag. Like, I'm actually beside myself. I told him, I was like, this does not need to be the norm. Like, this is, like, so above and beyond. But, like, I actually, I literally, all morning, I have my pajamas, and I would walk around the house like this, like, me and my bags. This is just it, like, oh, my God, and this bag will probably be, like, my most worn bag ever. It's so easy. Like, I have the bigger, like, flap Chanel that, like, is the one that I wear probably the most, and it's just amazing, but this one being satin, and then I could put the chains in, and wear it as a clutch to weddings and everything. Like, it's the perfect bag to travel with. Like, I am actually, like, beside myself, and Charlie, like, doesn't spend money. Like, he, like, wears T-shirts with holes in them, and he's had the same T-shirts for, like, six, seven years, and, like, flip flops. Like, he doesn't, like, spend money, period. I am literally, like, in shock. Like, I actually, like, I've never had someone, like, I'm, like, the gift giver in my life. Like, I'm, like, the eldest daughter. I do that stuff. I like to buy people gifts. Like, that's, like, my love language as far as, I don't know what I did here, sorry, guys. That's my love language as far as, like, gift giving. I literally have never, like, ever would ever ask someone for this, like, ever in my life. Like, literally ever, ever, ever, period, and guys, like, I'm in shock. Like, this is just amazing. So, we're going to Frambridge. I actually told Charlie, I said, Frambridge on me today. Well, one of them was already going to be for part of his gift because, you know what? I actually, I want to show you guys this one second. So, I found this watercolor artist on TikTok, and she's making, like, the cutest prints of Las Palmas, like, Bowen House, Hudson House, Honor Bar, Cafe Pacific, like, a bunch of, like, Dallas Staples and a lot of, like, Oklahoma stuff, and I found her online, and I've always thought, like, this is, like, the needle pointer. I mean, like, God, I should have made, like, Charlie and I go on a date where, like, they have a cute, like, matchbox canvas, you know what I mean? But we went to, like, Good Friends Beer Garden, which is, like, actually very us, but it's not, like, the cutest, like, most aesthetic place. It is in the sense of, like, I like that, and I also, like, prefer more of, like, a dive bar or whatever, but I was, like, there's not, like, I don't know. I was, like, there's not, like, matchboxes to do, like, a needlepoint canvas or, like, something cute and, like, meaningful for, like, our first date, and then when I saw her doing this stuff, I was, like, oh my God, I'm going to have her commission to do a Good Friend one, and I wanted it small because here's the other problem is that I keep getting frames of everything and I have, like, no room. I'm going to run out of room in my house, four frames, but also because I have a vision at Framebridge, we're going to go in and, like, do, like, a big mat and, like, whatever we want to do with it. We're going to do that, like, actually right now, and it's just the cutest thing ever, and this will go in our room. I originally had this I Love You print. That's just, like, a note that Charlie wrote me one day in the green there. I had that framed in Framebridge, and I was, like, oh, this will be so cute for our room, and then it was, like, it looks so good in my closet, so I stole it from our room, and I felt bad, so I was, like, this is, like, one of the things. I also had a custom needlepoint belt made for him that our stars and the Flyers, like, his two favorite teams, and, like, they're playing, like, a hockey game, so it's really cute. I always get my custom needlepoint designs from CC Needlepoint on Instagram. She's the sweetest, and she's so good. I've gotten so many things through her. She's amazing, and then we're going to a cooking class and stuff, so, like, that'll be really fun, but anyway. Seriously, guys, I'm in shock. Like, I was in shock over the bracelet. Like, this is seriously the best day of my life. This is so crazy. Hello, Perfect Angel Charlie. That's everyone's favorite person ever. Have I mentioned how I love you so much, and you're literally so perfect? Thanks. Are you trying to leave or something? Kinda. Yeah, I mean, we can go. Yeah. Sorry, I'm just packing up my new Chanel bag. I don't know if you heard about that. I have a new one. I actually have two new ones, if you've heard about that. I'm not sure, but anyway, look at me. Happy Valentine's Day. Thanks, Charlie. Me and all of my perfect things also. Like, I love this, and then I have, we have, like, cute scarves that we're working on for a friend of mine. You know what? I'm actually just gonna show you guys these because I'm curious if people, like, I don't know how I think these are gonna sell, but I think they're gonna be cute on our, like, project bags, and, like, on purses, and on, like, all of our, like, our tote bag, like, other things that are coming. Give me a second. Okay, number one, the scarf. We have our custom toile on it, which is really cute. We're actually editing this to be a little bit more of a repeat, so it's gonna be a little bit busier, but, like, I love scarves, like, tied to, like, this is so cute, like, tying this. True, I'm obviously not gonna do this right this second because these are samples and I don't wanna mess them up, and then, of course, my favorite, which will come as a shock to absolutely no one because it's literally my everything, the Jolly Garden. Like, how sick is that? And then this, like, on, like, a garden bag or on any of the tote bags or whatever. I'm just obsessed, and I just think these are, like, a fun little accessory and thing to tie on, and I love scarves. Like, I got really into scarves on bags whenever I started getting longchamp bags. Like, I love those. Guys, also, for context, the only bag I've ever even mentioned to try, like, to buy ever, and I was like, it's so expensive, is, like, the longchamp bag, this bag, which, by the way, best bag ever. It seriously is so incredible. They used to be, like, $98. Now they're 120, inflation, but it fits, like, everything. Like, in here, I have everything you could possibly need. Literally, it was, like, the green bag, but I was like, you don't need to. Like, this is just so crazy. Anyway, I love, this bag might be too small for the scarves, and I obviously didn't tie it correctly, but, like, this on a big tote bag or on a beach, like, I just, I think that they're so cute, so if you guys are into these, let me know, because I personally am loving them, but I gotta see. I also really need to clean out my needlepoint bag because it's kind of out of control right now. I've been using this smaller friend of mine tote bag, and I've been going to town on the Charlie envelope. I only started this earlier this week, but honestly, I think, like, if I really put my mind to it, I could finish it in the next couple of days. I'm planning on just needlepointing, except for, like, we do have a full move and my nephew's birthday party and stuff tomorrow, but anyway, guys, I'm in shock. Like, I think Charlie's on the phone with his nephew, but, like, I'm actually in shock. Like, this is so crazy. Obviously, he, like, does not need to do this. It, like, does not change a single thing, but I'm literally, like, that was so crazy. Like, seriously, and it's so perfect, and if you guys look at my mood board for, like, fashion this year, it's, like, it's this. Like, just didn't think I would be getting it this year, but I'm crazy. I'm, like, this is crazy. Okay, well, we're going to Frame Bridge, on me, seriously. I will, you know what, dinner on me. Like, dinner on me, dessert on me, coffee on me. Everything on me for a bit, I think, you know. I would, like, never expect this. Like, I cannot stress that enough. I would literally never ask anyone for this, and I would also never expect this, like, literally ever. I'm, like, in shock. We're here. I like the ash color. That one doesn't pop. The stripes would be the other way, which. Always makes me wonder when we were. Just kidding, bare feet on warm asphalt. We held our dreams within our hands. Happens every time, I wonder how. Happy Sunday, y'all. Just doing really fun adult activities. I'm doing a bit of Charlie's move this morning, which is going to be literally nothing, and then our fridge broke. So, okay, so that's about 69 inches, 68 and a half, if you will. We are measuring, so we're gonna have to order a new fridge, which will be so fun. Love that. All right, here we go. The one thing about me is I love a tape measure, like, same way I love, like, a leaf blower. All right, 35 and a half. It's really the countered up, like, the actual, ooh, I'll have you do this. You want me to pull it out? I'm gonna drink my coffee while we're here, yeah. Thank you. Gee, I wasn't gonna do that. I'm wearing the perfect Sunday outfit ever, ever, guys. Like, literally ever. Yesterday was the best Valentine's Day ever. So, it's Sunday morning, we're going to Charlie's. Charlie has, like, basically nothing, shocker, anyway. So, most of it, we're either moving to the other houses or we're donating, and then he just has, like, basically a bag of stuff still, probably, to bring here. There was a reason I was filming over here. Oh, I wanted to show you guys. Okay, so we were at Charlie's mom's yesterday, and she gave me some needlepoint to, like, finish and, like, for ourselves. Number one, we have this please come inside. She has a ton of door hangers, so this is so cute, and she actually just draws this herself. She's been needlepointing for over, like, 50 something years, over 50 years, and she just draws sometimes, which is, like, you know, so far out of my thing that I can do, but I'm gonna turn this into, actually, no, I was gonna turn it into a door hanger myself, but I think I'm gonna have my, like, my grandma do it, because, like, I want a ruffle around it for a door. Like, I think that's so cute. Can't wait to have door hangers on every single door in my house, and then she also gave me this cardinal that we're gonna turn into an ornament, which is really sweet, and then she also gave me this 3D Parmesan, which is really exciting. Charlie's very excited about this, right? I am. Yeah, he is. I like Parmesan. And it's gonna be an ornament, so I'm actually gonna send this to a finisher, which I, like, so rarely do, because normally my grandma will finish my pillows, and then I'll do, like, the ornaments and stuff. I don't know how to do 3D, and it's just, I'm not gonna mess this up, so it's gonna be so cute, and I'll have a little 3D ornament, which is just perfect. Also, Charlie got me, oh, I need to say it, Marked Safe. I don't know where the rooster is. Did I use the usher there already? But he got me the icon glass with the chickens on it. Marked Safe. I'm seeing it all over. Perfect. And then he got me the gummy bears one, because I love gummy bears, and this cute, like, face and stuff. But we're gonna head off. I'm gonna bring my needle point, obviously. I'm gonna be really good support, just, like, showing them where to go, pointing them in the right directions, as I'm, like, needle pointing, you know? You don't have that much left to do. I don't. Let's get to it. All right. Oh, and then over here, I've already started working on my niece's Valentine's Day basket. That's not hers. The rest is. The kids love touch lens hand sanitizer. It's so bizarre. But I have to, obviously, give her these great Valentine's Day baskets, so that she's not impressed by some loser one day. So that's why we do this. Oh, and, okay, Charlie and I are, like, so obsessed with SVU right now. Well, Law and Order Internet. We're actually watching Organized Crime. And, like, I've seen this on TikTok. And then I saw someone that I, like, kind of ignored it on TikTok for so long. Then I saw someone that I knew, and they did, like, a couples night with this. And you basically go through, and you read the evidence, and then you find the killer. So that could be fun. It might not be fun at all, but I got it just in case it would be fun. I think it'd be fun if we did it with, like, a group of people. You know what I mean? I do. Charlie's, like, trained to be silent behind there, so sometimes I start talking to him, and he's, like, you can speak, you know? Oh, gosh. So, anyway, just really fun adult things. I got this for my nephew. It's his birthday. Monday, he's trying to get this to go. It's his birthday on Monday, so I have birthday presents that you guys will see later, because we have to wrap them, and his birthday party is today. Speaking of, maybe his birthday is tomorrow, too. But, anyway, he calls my stepbrother Pickle Man, and so I thought this would just be a cute thing to get him. Okay, now we can go. Okay, we are back, and here is Sophie's Valentine's Day basket. Honestly, guys, I wish I was my niece, okay? She's got some jelly cats. They're really into jelly cats right now, because the Touchland, like, hand sanitizer, the kids go crazy for this. This is from a PR package. Some MEJ stuff, because I just received this in a PR package, but I actually have all of it. I love MEJ so much, and this brush, I have it. So good. More MEJ. Luke, she loves a sheet mask. She loves under eye patches. Oh, I actually need to throw in some more eye patches. And then, some Rare Beauty, I don't know if that's gonna be okay, because there's mascara in there, but her mom could take it. And then, look at this. A little photo of us that I had framed. Hot Girl Pickles, a little bag. Need to re-measure this, because, guys, little did I know, when you're replacing a fridge, you need to not measure the fridge, you need to actually measure the opening, so that's gonna be fixed today. But, she dyes for these, so. Whatever happens, happens. Okay, I added a cute little card. How sweet is this? This is the most fun part of kids, is just doing things like this. Well, my love language is gift giving, but I love just making the little baskets, and she's gonna be so excited for all this stuff, and I love it. How cute. And also, then she'll have high expectations for what she deserves. Also, I need to put this on. Mateo's little gifts. I found Charlie. Okay, so this one's like a irregular-shaped box, so we can't actually put much pressure on it, because there's not an actual box on the other side. But, I need to take the hag off, and then put Pickle Man, tie him into the twine. How cute is that? It's my day, but it's President's Day. This is my favorite part of my day. Hi, hi, hi, Fitsie, hi. Your butt is right in the middle. That is so nice of you. Come here, girl, come here, girl. I like to read and write in the morning, have my little morning routine, but it's a holiday, and I'm getting so close to finishing this canvas that I can't think about doing anything else, and I will be finishing this, because I want to start my dolly garden canvas, and finish the birthday cake one. Anyway, so last night, we didn't finish moving Charlie, but there's pretty much nothing left aside from a couple things he needs to pick up, the rest of his stuff that's getting donated. There's a lot of different ministries and stuff and organizations in Dallas that I'll donate stuff to. I get questions about that a lot, but for the most part, it's people. One of my neighbors at her church has people to give things to, so I can't just give you guys. I think women's shelters are a really good way to go when it comes to donations. Obviously, we're not donating a lot of his clothes to a women's shelter, but I love Genesis, though, a lot. So anyways, last night, we started Love Story, which is the JFK Jr., Caroline Bessette love story. I've been waiting for this to come on. I have been, I can't speak. I've been waiting for this for the longest time. I know it has mixed reviews, but here's one thing about me. I'm a very low bar for television and movies. I think everything's good. It is so rare that I think something is bad, and if I think something is bad, it needs to be taken off the planet, because I truly believe that everything else is good, and I know people are giving it bad reviews and stuff, and I'm only an episode, and I like it, but shocker. You really can't do much around the Kennedys that I'm not going to like. Also, today is Macy and Mateo's birthday. Also, I'm so sad because Valentine's Day is over, so I have to get rid of my garland, but I was looking last night on Anthropologie, because you know that I'm decorating for every season, or every holiday, and they've got some cute felt little garlands that can be for spring and Easter. I'm getting some bunnies. But say goodbye to my accidental garland that I love thanks to Houseguest. Hi guys, I'm in the middle of organizing my closet. It might not look like it. I'm always in the middle of organizing my closet, but you know, just give it some time. Susu, Charlie's mom, gave me this belt this weekend. It's so sick. We're going to New York next week, and I actually, like, here's the thing. I actually love clothing. Like, I love styling outfits. I love shopping. I love fashion. Like, I love all of that, but I feel like I just haven't been, you know, operating at my best capacity, if you will. Anyway, I was just thinking about this over, like, this is just so sick, especially for the holidays, but this over a big blazer with my Savannah Tacobas. Like, these are so amazing. Maybe layered with, like, a sweater underneath. Like, that is just going to be everything, so I will be wearing that in New York next week. I was just filming some of the needlepoint projects that she gave me. Also, I think I'm bringing back for myself big sunglasses, mainly because I don't know where my other ones are that I wear every single day. They're in, like, some bag somewhere. I don't even know where these are from. Ryan Simchi Eye Shop. But I'm, like, kind of obsessed, like, living for this. Okay, here's what is on my agenda today. I really would like to sell some stuff at The RealReal. I don't know how great of options it would be. Honestly, I'm just such a shopper of The RealReal, so, like, I would take short credit. I feel fine with that. But there's just things in here that are expensive that I truly, like, just do not wear enough and someone else would get a lot better use out of them. So, I'm going to go through and gather a bag, and then I think I just, like, send it off. I'm going to get together a bag of things that I'm going to sell to The RealReal and get going. But, like, my bag selection over here, one thing about me, I love a bag. Love, love, love, love, love a bag. I just have, like, too much. Really unorganized. I have too much at one. It just needs to be reorganized, period. That would probably save the day. Also, I need to get this bag from Prada fixed. You know what else I'm going to do? I'm going to go to Dino's today. And those Chanel belly flats, I need to get taken there, too, to get fixed. Which, here's the thing about getting this stuff fixed. It's like, damn, how expensive is this? Like, I'm sure there's better places in Dallas that wouldn't be as expensive. It's just, like, that's where I'm at all the time, so it's really convenient. But anyway, I'm going back and forth so much on selling my Balenciaga. I haven't worn Balenciaga, obviously, since all of it. But I'm like, I just hate selling bags because I'm always fearful that I'm going to regret it one day. With Balenciaga, I think I'm safe, so that's fine. But I'm always just like, oh my God, like, I just think about, like, one day, like, will my future daughter be like, God, I wish I had that. But, like, I can't imagine that. You know what I mean? So, I also have shoes. Like, that's really the main stuff that I'm wanting to sell, so. Also, guys, I got this Balenciaga, like, crossbody thing years ago. I think it was Dom's, like, 21st birthday. Was that that trip? I can't remember. We were in Phoenix, and they have these, like, crazy outlets. I think it was in Phoenix. Anyway, and it came, like, but without a zipper, and I would just wear this thing all the time. I'm like, obviously, never going to wear it again, but, like, it doesn't even have a zipper. So, like, I'm not going to take this to them because it doesn't have a zipper, so I need to figure that out. But I think it's time to part ways. Very classic OG. Oh my God, I haven't worn this bag in years. Do y'all remember this bag? I was obsessed. Molly had it, too. And, oh, what do I? Oh my God, I have so much stuff in here. Okay, so this is a good bit, which is making me feel better. Okay, I'm running errands, but I'm finally going to try out the Cottage Grocer grocery store. I don't know, everyone's calling it the Cottage Grocer, but it's so cute, and I still haven't made my way over here. I used to live, like, right in the Knox Anderson area, if you guys are from, oh my gosh! Great real estate group! Guys, this is my realtor. I didn't even know they had that office. I've been in that building before. If you guys ever need a good realtor, Melanie Bray, she's the best. Anyway, I used to live in this area, so I used to be here 24-7. I still am in this area all the time because, like, our families are over here. I'm literally, like, not even far from all of this, but I used to be, like, right here, so I would be in this area every single day, and it's so crazy. Even when I was here a couple years ago, like, which, again, I live so close. Like, I'm not far. But you know what? It's, like, your actual neighborhood. I used to, like, especially Lower Greenville, because I actually lived, like, Lower Greenville, Henderson, the townhouse that I was in. My townhouse was in Lower Greenville, like, just, like, right off Henderson. It was the best, but it's so crazy to see how much has come, because even when I was there, especially Lower Greenville, I was, like, I just know the second that I, like, move out of here is when everything's gonna, like, pop off just with my luck, and they had so many amazing, great things already, but, like, now it's even better, and it's only been a couple of years. It's so crazy to see, like, everything that has come to Dallas, it's wild. Anyway, speaking of, this new place has been here for a bit. I've been meaning to try it. It looks so cute, and I want a matcha, so we're gonna stop here, and then stop by the RealReal and Dino's. If you guys have a good leather, cobbler, recommendation, whatever, in Dallas that isn't an arm or a leg, because, like, Dino's is very expensive, please let me know. Oh! Taste test time. I got a strawberry matcha. They're back to when I used to get the strawberry matcha at La La Land literally every single day. The place is really cute. Like, it's actually adorable, and they also have really great prepackaged foods. I got some soups, because Susie's recovering from surgery, just to keep in the freezer there, and then I also got candied jalapenos, because Charlie's been putting jalapenos in everything, and I wanted to try them. Oh, and I got a breakfast sandwich. Okay. Taste test. Oh, it's really good. And the strawberry, it's, like, actually, like, real. I love this. I can't get it. Can you see my leg? You can't see my leg go down to the bed. I might've gotten some popcorn already. Thank you. How romantic. I spent the afternoon with my aunt, because I'm throwing, well, I'm actually throwing two showers in March, my sister's and my cousin's. My sister's bridal shower, my cousin's baby shower. So my aunt came over, and we were just doing some final orders and catching up outside. The outdoor area, I said it before, I'll say it again, best decision I made in this house. It was just so nice and amazing and beautiful. We made a stew. It looks so gross, but it's actually so good. So good. It is so good. I can show it in a video soon, but it's, like, the best. I used to make it all the time, the purple sweet potato, or the purple potato stew, if you guys remember, from back in the day. But it's our first. If somebody knew what purple sweet potatoes were, it would be purple sweet potatoes. Well, they weren't even sweet potatoes, but yeah, Charlie did the grocery shopping. I think I got yams. I do too, but I've had the same issue at Sprouts for years. It's pretty good. It's good anyway. Should we have some wine? I'll drink wine with you. Okay, perfect. Well, we're doing old fashions tomorrow night, so that's why I was thinking wine. I mean, I'm good with an old-fashioned every night. I got a Riesling. Okay, so I made this. I had this realization this week that I thought I started to like Chardonnay, because I had a Chardonnay, and it was really good, and then I realized it's because it's like Riesling, if that's how you say it. In Riesling, I like Riesling. But, like, what does that mean? I don't know. The notes that are in there, as far as wine terminologies you're going to get from me, I really liked. Anyway, so this is, like, a cheap $10 one. I made it. I had to make a lager store order for some old-fashioned drinks that we're making this week for some videos, and I got this. So I'm going to see if I like this, but, oh, thank you so much, from the hosting closet. But we have to have wine to commemorate our first night as official roomies. I, like, hate the word roomie. Like, by the way, I'm saying it as a joke, but, like, I hate that I, you know? I'm good with it. Charlie has no issue with anything. I'm good with everything. What'd you say? I'm living here now, so I'm good with everything. Yeah. Such a good plan, Charlie. The house is feeling fabulous today. Also, guys, do you like my new jacket? Mate, where's the, like, how cute? So when you go into your room, you're going to be a little bit upset with what I'm watching. What? It's a Game of Thrones show. Oh, I wouldn't be upset with that. Would you not? No. Really? I thought you were saying you were watching, like, Love Story or something. No. Well, I'm watching. No. Why would I be upset by that? Because there should be a lot of, like, death in this episode, just to give you a heads up. Oh, well, you can watch that when I'm not there. Yeah, that's what I figured. No need for me. Loving Love Story, I caught up fully. There's only three episodes released the first time, so the new ones come out in, like, two days. Wait. The JFK Jr. episode. Oh, I thought it was done. They don't release, it's not on Netflix. That's right, never mind. I know, they didn't do it, like, I know. So, I hate when they do that, like, seriously. Also, got some repurchases today. Coco and Eve Express Tanning Antioxidant Mousse. I've been using this a lot, and I've actually been Express Tanning versus, like, tanning overnight, because I didn't think about it throughout the day, and you know what it is? This is what I do. I tan while I get myself my blowout, and then by the time I'm doing stuff, I can shower it off. So, it actually works out. That's, like, the only time I do it. And then, I'm bringing back the- I'm excited about doing a lot more of this, which would be nice. I'm bringing back the Glimmer 10 Minute Superfood Hair Mask to my routine, because this stuff is so good. I've been doing the Divi Drops, and Marissa told me that my hair is looking thicker, so, like, I trust her. Cheers! Cheers. I just, like, rise it. Like, that's what this is. And this, I think, is a strong snack. This would be great, right? Yeah. It's, like, something, yeah. As of this morning, I'm, like, really set on us going on a trip to Savannah, Georgia in April. Yeah, I really wanna do that, too. Really set on that, so I'm gonna be doing some research. But if you guys are familiar with Savannah, Georgia, please send me all of your recommendations. Like, I need to go- I wanna just go on, like, short- We have traveled this year, but it's, like, for weddings and stuff, not, like, trips of our own. Okay, guys, I'm about to go. Needlepoint in bed. But I should've said this earlier. I was driving around, running errands earlier today, and, like, it's so crazy. And I feel like you guys have obviously been along for the journey of the past two years and how they've been so hard for me. And it's so- I was actually getting emotional in the car today, and, like, it's so crazy, like, how much I kept saying last year, I was, like, I have no other option than my life to be completely different, like, this time next year. Like, I'm not interested unless my life is completely different. And, obviously, it is completely different, and I'm, like, actually happy, too, which is, like, huge. But it's just really amazing. Like, I literally was, like, crying in the car earlier because I'm, like, I'm just so happy. Like, I'm so happy, and I truly never- I didn't see that that was, like, a possibility. Like, of course, people say that, and, like, you'll get there, or whatever. But, like, it really didn't feel like I was ever gonna get there. And it's really just so sweet and amazing. So, anyway, I love you guys so much. I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. My next video, starting tomorrow, is gonna be a big week of house stuff. We're working on the garden. I'm gonna organize some stuff, figure out some future home projects. I need to pick out new rugs. I need to set up the organization for my Spice Village. It's gonna be, like, a full hour-long weekend home vlog. My favorite ones, also. Last, final update on this. I'm gonna finish it tonight. I got so much done this weekend. It was amazing. But, anyway, love you guys, and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye.
