Productive Day In My Life *Summer Edition*

I Also don't mind my voice I just woke up just give me like three minutes into this video and I'll probably be back to normal anyways Hi guys, it's Nicole and welcome back to my channel. Welcome to a productive day in my life summer edition I have been loving my routine lately, especially being home for the summer, you know back at my hometown back with my family Just doing my own thing. And so I wanted to vlog today and bring you guys along Every day is a little bit different, but we'll see what we get up to today guys I actually love my bed so much. It is so cozy in here and especially like the curtains I literally feel like a real-life princess. Anyways, first thing I will do I try not to check my phone like scroll on any social media But I'll check my ring app because it tracks my sleep and so let's see what says today Okay, it says I have an optimal sleep score of 88. I got 7 hours and 18 minutes of sleep last night bang that okay That's really good. I've been trying to get my 8 hours every single night. Do I know but am I trying? Yes, I set my alarm for 7 this morning. I have been really liking early mornings during the summer I just feel like I can start my days and it'd be productive right off the bat But with that I've also been trying to prioritize good sleep. And so last night I was in bed by like 1030 Okay. Anyways, it is time to start our day. It is a beautiful day to have a beautiful day, everyone Walk you guys through today's Bible study. Okay, so I'm currently reading the book of Acts and I love it so far today I read chapter 8 and I will always read the chapter out loud first so that I can try to comprehend it myself And then I will go to my Bible journal and I'll do my four prompts So problem number one verse of the day I chose Acts 8 or those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went number two What stood out to me even though the early believers were scattered because of prosecution They didn't stop sharing Jesus God used what looked like a setback to accomplish something greater I'm number three how I can live this today no matter where God places me today I can reflect his love in my words actions and attitude and finally problem number four prayer God, thank you for reminding me that you can use every season of my life Even the unexpected ones for your purpose help me faithfully share your love wherever you leave me trusting that you're always working for good Yeah This morning overall what I'm taking from today's study is reflecting God's love in everything that I do Sometimes it could be really hard to trust that everything's gonna be okay Especially if you're going through something tough and it just feels like in the moment It's not gonna get better But what I can tell you is that it will get better because God is always working in your life He's always there for you and what he's doing He's doing it on purpose, but when I tell you guys reading scripture has genuinely changed my life I really tried instilling this habit this year like 2026 I bought this Bible and this journal and there has only been positive benefit from it Also, if you guys are wondering because I always get comments I can link these down below. I got these both on Amazon They're just so perfect like this Bible is beautiful It also comes with text on the side to help understand the word even more and then this Bible journal is this goddess within her But you guys I'm almost done with it Like I said, I started at the beginning of this year and I only have oh my gosh I only have two pages left. I actually bought another one too. It's the same thing but a different Bible verse It's literally in my drawer and I'm gonna open that soon But it makes me so happy and I'm honestly really proud of myself for keeping up this habit of I will studying every single morning Waking up grabbing my Bible first thing asking God to reveal to me Whatever he needs to that day and just letting that in him lead the rest of my day I feel even a happier person and I know this has been a big reason of that I just think it's so beautiful though Because it's a way that God can tell me something every single day and every single thing. He tells me it's so good For example yesterday. I woke up a little sad, which is unfortunate, but you know, I was just going through it And so I grabbed my Bible I prayed and I was like, all right God revealed to me Whatever you need to right now and from that Bible study It was basically with anything look up to the Lord before looking at anything else Focus on the Lord and what he has to show you It was just so perfect in the moment and definitely helped me with the rest of my day I was not sad after my Bible study But anyways, I am feeling so good If you couldn't tell and daily reminder that God is good all the time and all the time God is good Okay, let's continue our day. I Just brushed my teeth and did my skincare, but I want to show you guys My mom and I went to the Olivia Dean concert a few nights ago and oh my gosh It was so freaking good. Like I already loved Olivia Dean, but after seeing her perform, I Love her even more. She's a superstar. I mean her stage presence is crazy. Her voice is so amazing I was dancing laughing smiling crying. Oh, it was a great night and I got a little This isn't a part of her actual merch collection My mom and I got these sweaters from the vendors outside of the concert and it was only 35 bucks Like what but look how freaking cute don't mind the water stain. Oh, there's multiple water stains me when I wash my face Okay, but it's in the super cute like dusty pink color her face on the front. Also her tour dates on the back I got an extra large because I like my stuff quite oversized, but I just love it I've been wearing it ever since the concert begins. It's a good thing and it reminds me of a great night Okay, speaking of though Let's do a little catch-up and just life updates cuz I feel like I need to talk to you guys about a few days Of course these are the 24k gold ones and If I can wear these eyepatches all day, I would I really would they feel so good I low-key do though Like I'll put them on in the morning in the middle of day after my shower at night time before sleep Like I just love them. Okay, but life updates first of all How are we already halfway done with July like I feel like it just turned to summer and now summer is almost over and we're Halfway done with 2026, which is also insane But ever since I've been in college ever since it's summer break time has been moving by even faster But July has been really great so far. My last vlog was the cobble vlog If you guys haven't watched that already already down below that trip was so fun And I hope you guys enjoyed all the content but ever since then being back home Celebrated the 4th of July with my friends. That was a super fun day. Audrey was also down So I feel like I had all my girls with me, which is the best feeling ever Oh my gosh, I also went to the Moana world premiere about it on my other social medias already but if you guys haven't seen that I met the freaking rock you guys like Basically, I was a blue carpet correspondent for disney So I got to be on the carpet doing interviews talking to the cast the crew filmmakers and one of the people being the freaking rock So yeah, that was really really cool I posted the interviews on my short so I can also link this down below but that was such an amazing opportunity And I still can't believe that it all happened. I also took a quick trip to san diego, which was really nice And then yeah ever since then i've just been back at home Enjoying quality time with my family and friends and also just like being here with summer being halfway done That means semester at sea is coming up real soon Yeah, I will be on a flight to my first country in less than a month Oh my gosh, and so we're going to be doing a lot of prep for that in the next couple of weeks for sure But along with that i'm just trying to cherish like all the time I have here because obviously i'm going to be gone for four Months straight so i'm just taking up all the time that I can and it's been really great I mean nothing compares to being at home and just doing your own thing I've been trying to focus on my health and my happiness a lot lately and I feel like it's been going really well But there is my little life update so far. I hope you guys are doing well. I love you guys so so much And let's get on with the rest of our day We are making our way downstairs. Hold on.
