WEEK IN MY LIFE AT HOME 🏡💌💒 booking our wedding venue, making bridesmaid boxes & plate wall install

It's gonna be a really good week in my life at home. We also have some home projects. I'm trying to really just get back into my routine. We've had so much travel. We're leaving again on Friday to go to Chicago for the Stitch Tour, which I'm really excited about, but I want to get like back in my routine. I will say like the summertime sadness. I have reverse seasonal depression, so like I feel it in the summer. It's really been hitting me and I think it's also because I'm exhausted and then I'm not able to get back into my routine and all the things. So this week we are making that a top priority. I also have a lot of fun, exciting things happening. We're also doing the Playwall. Guys, seriously, I'm gonna die. Anyway, I need to lift for my workout literally right this second. I can show you guys what I'm wearing. My closet is like a little bit of a mess, but it's just this like cute little blue set from Lululemon. I think it's the line. But anyway, I'm gonna go weightlift and then get back and we are gonna have a productive, healthy, nice week at home. All right, y'all. I'm back from my workout. I just changed and I have this. Okay, guys, obviously this is not groundbreaking, but this yellow, what do they call these? What neck? I forget. From J. Crew. I've been living in this. Anyway, it's Monday morning. I've got a ton of calls today, but we are starting off our morning very strong. This morning, I woke up again early, started stitching, but I need to proof watch the vlog. So I'm gonna sit here and finish my bridal plush. I need to finish this this week because I want to send out, hopefully this week, if I have the time, all of the purses to ask my bridal party to be in my wedding. I would love to do that this week. And I think I can finish it. I've really kind of like gone through the last of it. These are from Blue Canary. They're my favorite bags. I stitched three and my grandma stitched three for the bridal party. So I need to get this done so I can make the content around it because I want to take photos of all these together because I've worked very hard on them. And then I will ask them. We're also very far out for my wedding, so we're fine. Anyway, I'm gonna watch. I need to proof watch and give notes on the podcast episode. So I'm gonna sit here and just kill two birds with one stone. Tonight, we have the event for Harrison's collab, a friend of mine, Harrison Wallace collab, which I'm really excited for. We're just getting to work. Back from the event and I'm sick, okay? Because this jacket, I just put it in the mail as soon as I got home, would have been the perfect thing to wear tonight because it's literally this collection, like exactly. The blue and brown, like, oh my god, would have been so good. It's from Bowdoin. I'm really, really into Bowdoin pieces right now. Anyway, tomorrow's a recording day, so I have three guests and then a couple other things that I'm recording just for myself, or for house guests, but like on my own. So I need to get my outfits good and ready to go and tan and do all the things. I'm really happy with the progress that I've made here. I can't really stitch this tonight, though. If I tan, I don't think, you know? But it's looking good. I'm actually like almost done, which is good because I need to finish this. I know I already told you guys this, but I'm feeling good about that. Anyway, the event was so fun. It was just such a good night with such great girls and we had the best time. Thank you to Savile for hosting. It was seriously so much fun. But anyway, I need to get to work. This is a tried and true dress for me, this Reformation, like, red polka dot dress. I do love her, so that might be a good one. Maybe for my etiquette coach. I feel like that is good. We have an etiquette coach coming on the podcast tomorrow, so I'm feeling really fabulous about that. I might wear, I haven't worn this tank top on the pod. Oh, I hope that this, oh god, I really hope this doesn't shrink. It's like a baby doll top. Oh god. If this shrunk, I'll be devastated. Oh, perfect. Okay, did it? Let's see. I mean, it's a baby doll top anyway. No, I think it's okay. Like, I think that this will be cute without this top on, actually with these jean shorts. I actually don't hate the idea of wearing this. I love this skirt that I got when we were in Charleston from Hill House, and I got the matching headband as well. I think, I don't know if a headband is calling my name tomorrow. It could be. It could be, honestly. But I wish that I had, like, a red top to really bring out the red in this. I wish I had a good red top. I just don't think that I do. This could potentially be good, this, though. I just don't know if that's gonna, I don't know if that's really gonna do it for me. I really like skirts like this, but it's actually kind of weirdly hard to style because, yeah, you can wear a tank top, but I didn't love the tank top that I wore. Oh, wait. Wait, is this, this is yellow, though. Oh, and I stained it. These tanks from Zara, they're really inexpensive. They're so good, but I stained it right there. And it could be covered in the snow. It's literally on the side that you would see. That's tragic. This could be cute, but then am I, like, doing the most, you know? No, I like that. Okay. Okay, so we're good on that end. That's actually, like, perfect. This is my backup. I actually kind of like the idea of this together better, like, very casual. Okay, these are my options, so we're good for tonight. Normally, we start recording earlier, but tomorrow we're starting at 10, so I feel like I have the morning for me. I need to prep some stuff for Harrison's Club. It's like 8 30, so I've got the night. I need to prep some stuff for launch on Thursday, and shower, and self-tan, and do my whole routine, and then I will talk to you guys in the morning. Happy Tuesday. It's 7 30. I'm recording today. We have three episodes. We have Presley's Divorce, Friends From Childhood. You guys have seen her in vlogs and stuff. She's actually been in the club for, like, a long time ago, and then we have Jordan Sparks, and then we have Karla Shellis, who's, like, an etiquette coach, and Presley's sister is actually, like, my makeup artist, too, so she's coming over to do our makeup this morning, which is so nice, but I do need to redo my hair, but the tops of it look good. The bottoms just kind of went flat, and I think I'm gonna do a roller again to give myself some volume. I finally finished. Oh, sorry, guys. I finally finished the Needleman project this morning, the bag, so that way I can send out and ask my bridesmaids this week to be, like, a bridesmaid, and then we're good to go. That was really, truly a labor of love. Like, those bags are beautiful, but, like, stitching all of them. I only stitched three, and my grandma stitched three to help me, and I was like, look, that's all I need for my wedding gift is you to help me stitch these three bags, and we actually finished them, like, so soon. We started, like, before I got engaged, because we didn't know I was getting engaged, and I ordered them before, because those bags take forever to come in, and we both finished them in, like, I think I finished stitching them in, like, four or five weeks. That's really when I stopped doing whips, because I obviously couldn't show that, but I do, like, I just love them, and I really wanted to give them something that, like, was meaningful and that I put a lot of effort into and not, like, junky stuff, you know? Like, I wanted it to be something that, like, you would keep forever that wasn't, like, branded almost, like, to my wedding, you know what I mean? Anyway, hold on. I don't even really know if these rollers do anything once I'm actually, like, my hair is dry. Obviously, they, like, do better whenever my hair is wet, but whatever. I think I'm just gonna do the front piece, and then when I'm redoing my hair, I just go through and I curl it again, and then yesterday, the only, the reason I feel like it fell a little bit more besides it being so hot out is because I didn't let it sit in, like, an actual clip. I normally let it sit, I'll curl it and let them sit in these clips for a bit, um, and then I feel like it literally will not ever go down, but I didn't give myself much time to let them sit, so updates to come. All right, guys, we have our glam! Yay! I'm so excited to be here! Guest one has arrived. Presti's already, um, seen this. I said I'm ruining her surprise. I wish I would have done it before. We have new house guest stationery for the guest, and it's so beautiful, and then we have these little, like, stamp that are like a fake wax seal, but they're, like, stickers. How convenient is that? Obsessed. So, anyway, I don't really vlog much on recording days because we're obviously filming the whole thing, but I'll show you guys a little sneak peek. Wow, it looks so fab. Perfect. It's 7 p.m., finished the recording day. Everyone has finally, like, packed up and left, and the house just feels amazing. Charlie and I are gonna drink some wine. I'm setting up some final stuff for Harrison's launch on Thursday, which I'm so excited about, guys. Like, these canvases are so- I just feel like we could not have done a better job on this collection. Just, like, it's perfect. Tomorrow is, like, plate wall day, and I'm just, like, sitting here, literally, just, like, dreaming about it. Like, how amazing and perfect is that gonna be? Literally perfect. Absolutely perfect. But I recorded with Presley, my childhood bestie. You guys are gonna love that episode. She's doing, like, a Gap Summer at 28. Recorded with Jordan Sparks, and then also Carla Shellis, who's an etiquette coach, and they're so good. Like, I'm just so proud of where the podcast is going. Um, also, I got glammed on, so, like, therefore, I don't want to take my makeup off, and Kristen is just the best. Kristen Farrah actually said Presley's older sister. She's so good. Also, guys, I've really been liking my, like, everyday jewelry. I also realized, like, way too late that I didn't wear earrings all day, which is, like, really out of character. I always wear those, like, pearl studs that I have, but this bracelet is a Jenny Bird bracelet. I just found it in my jewelry stash. I got it last summer. I think I actually got it on Nantucket at their pop-up there, or I got it at their Dallas pop-up. Jenny Bird is, like, one of my favorite jewelry brands. They just have the best stuff. Like, their stuff is so good. This stuff, like, the tennis bracelet and the matching necklace that I have is from Ori, and then this one is Jenny Bird, and I just put it on here, and, like, this, for me, is, like, the perfect stack. I don't want anything too crazy. Like, maybe I'd add one more thing or something. I don't know, but I really like this stack, and I've been wearing jewelry, really, since dating Charlie, because he's, like, gifted me jewelry, and because he's given it to me, and it's been, like, nicer than the stuff I would buy myself, it's made me, like, commit to actually, like, wearing it daily, and it just makes me feel so much more put together. Like, I get the jewelry girls now. Our friend Alexa wears, like, stacks and stacks every day, and I'm like, see, that is, like, that, to me, like, you really have your life together because you're not losing your jewelry every second. You know what I mean? So, anyway, great week so far. I need to pour a glass of wine. Oh, I finished my bridal bag. I don't even know where I put it. Let me find it. Let me show you guys. I really put my head down in the past, like, 48 hours, and she's done. She looks amazing. That's my new- that will be my new last name, or, like, however I decide to do it. Like, I'm taking his name, but I don't know, like, what- like, what are you guys- if you guys are gonna engage, like, what are you guys doing? The reason I don't feel- one, I have, like, plans for my last name, and also, I love my last name. My last name's Piper, and it's, like, my favorite name, but also because I've got my Kenzie Elizabeth for so long, like, taking that, and, like, I have plans for the last name anyway, so I don't, like, feel any type of way really about it because I don't- like, I would still go by Kenzie Elizabeth professionally, and that's my middle name anyway, so, like, I'm doing it, but I'm just curious what you guys are doing because I totally understand, like, why- I get the pushback in the not changing the name and all of that. If I didn't have, like, the plans that I had, I think I would be feeling maybe that, but anyway, love this. Also, it's from Blue Canary. Sorry, um, if I didn't say that, but it's just, like, the cutest little new point clutch. My grandma went in and made, um, backings too for this, so she's gonna make me one so that nothing gets on the white specifically, but I already stitched one for myself. Thank god my initials are staying the same. Um, in probably, like, December, and it's beautiful- no, it was January because it was my dad's birthday. So perfect, like, love that. So now I need to start up my new project. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm kind of in the middle of the jolly of the month, but also, like, I don't want to- let me see when this vlog goes up because maybe I could show you guys. No, guys, sorry, it's a little early. Oh, wait. Oh, yeah, we're good. It's out. I'll show you guys. It's the birthday dolly. She's everything, and I'm kind of obsessed with her, so I might stitch that tonight. We've been watching SVU, as always. We've also been watching a little bit of Scandal. I'm really into the Olivias. I'm obsessed with Olivia Benson. Guys, we need to talk about Olivia Benson because in the past, like, year- really? It was, like, in Nashville. I feel like I got really hooked on SVU. I've always watched SVU in my life, but I don't know. There's just something about Olivia Benson. Like, we will be out and about, like, going and we're at weddings, at friends' places, like, at dinner, at whatever, and, like, I'm always like, I just miss Olivia Benson. Like, I wish she was here. Like, I feel like she is my true real-life friend, and I'm obsessed with that woman. Like, oh my god, love her. And, like, she's not- she's, like, I'm obsessed with, like, Mariska as well. Like, she is a real-life person to me because to me, they're the same person in real life, but I'm just obsessed. I can't shut up, so it's, like, I could just, like, stop bothering you guys and end the clip, but no, I need, like, a nice relaxing, like, bathtub moment tonight. That's what I'm looking at. Good morning, y'all. I'm ready for workout. It's, like, 7- I actually think I need to leave in three minutes, so that's good. I'm back from my workout, and I just have to say this J.Crew sweater, I know it's July, but probably my best purchase of the summer. I know that these roll necks are, like, nothing new. I don't think I even got it until I put one on, and I just bought it because it's my favorite color, and guys, I wear it literally all the time. Like, it's so good. Also, these are over here. These are the best denim shorts I have ever worn. I will have them linked. Like, there is just nothing like it, and it's so rare that I like shorts. Like, I feel like I like shorts on me. I finally have found the right shorts. They're not too long. They're not too short. They are comfortable. They are curved up, so they just, like, they fit everything about them. Oh, my God, they're so good. They're from Abercrombie, so they're actually, like, really a good price, and they have sales all the time. So, anyway, I just feel like I need to tell you guys because they're the best, and I feel like I'm turning 29 next week, and this is, like, truly the first time that I've really liked denim shorts on me, and it's fully from this cut. Like, they're so, so good. So, anyway, big day today. I've got some meetings this morning. My new assistant's on her way over, and we're going to handle a bunch of stuff. We're going to just shoot some brand deals, then I have another meeting, and then this afternoon, it's really exciting. I've been looking forward to this for the longest time. This is the day that we are finally putting up the plate wall, and then I think my aunt's coming over, and I think I'm teaching her and my mom needlepoint. So, really exciting things happening, but anyway, I need to actually, like, get going. Guys, I finally got back the bags. Guys, look at how amazing these are. I have three more, but they're in their own bags. That's Macy's. This is for Alexis. That's for Dom, and then I have Molly's, my sister, and my cousin's in there, but they are so perfect. So, we're going to wrap them up and mail those off tomorrow, but today, this afternoon, we're starting on the plate wall, which is really just so exciting. We have a bunch of plates over there. We have, somewhere, we have, like, the plate things that we use to hold them or to hang them all up, and we're going to start on this project, and it's going to be so beautiful and so perfect. Also, the rug, I got this from Lumencomb. It's the nicest rug I've ever owned, but guys, like, it is beautiful. Like, there is such a difference between, like, a really nice rug, and I've never really, like, invested in a nicer one, and this one, I'm loving. But anyway, we're doing a plate wall. This is also a really inexpensive way to decorate your space, because you can thrift. I know I've already said this, but you can thrift all of your plates, and then the hangers are not super expensive, and they're just perfect. Okay, so I'm making us lunch right now. I've mentioned this before, but this is my current favorite cookbook. It's so good. I got it because Charlie loves Mediterranean food and he's very healthy, and it's like high protein, but this one dish, lemony chicken bake, they're just chicken thighs. It is so good. I made it for my friends when they come over for dinner recently, and then I'm also going to make, I don't know if I'll make this right. I probably will actually need to. The ricotta stuffed eggplant rolls, they're so good. So anyway, I'm gonna get to work 4.50, 4.25, whatever. I'll figure it out. It's so good. Also, like very, very easy, but so good. Actually incredible. Oh, it's looking amazing. That looks, I like that. Do you? Yeah. Guys, it is 8 p.m. now. The plate wall, just wow. It looks insane. Like, it actually looks really, really crazy on camera. It's really a statement. I'm obsessed with it. Like, it's so fun. This is, you know, maximalist core, but it just looks so cool, and when you walk into the house and then you see the plate wall, you're just like, oh my gosh. Like, it looks insane. My mom came over, and I gave them a little needlepoint lesson. They started on their project, and then I was giving them a little needlepoint show and tell. So, I still haven't finished this one, and then this one is going to go with that. I've already showed you guys that, but it really looks amazing. I mean, I hope I don't ever get to the point where I'm like, oh, it's way too busy and, like, stressing me out, but, like, I'm just obsessed. Like, it looks so good. Oh my god. It looks amazing. I did have to order two, like, orders of plates on Facebook Marketplace and courier them throughout the day because we didn't have enough, and then, of course, there's a couple that I still want to, like, fix and do, and also we need to, like, redo those two because they're on tape and we need to get smaller actual, like, plate hangers for them, but overall, they look unreal. Happy Thursday, guys. I went to a scope class this morning, showered, just gave myself a blowout so quickly. It's not my best work and got ready. Today is Harrison's launch day for the Needlepoint Club. It's actually in, like, five minutes, so I need to get ready. Actually, we are ready, but I need to, like, get on my computer and start all the things, and then I'm going on a garden show today at 11, and then we're coming back, and I need to film a ton of, like, content that I needed to get done, and then also prep for Chicago because Charlie and I leave for Chicago tomorrow. We have an event in the city, and then we have a pop-up the next day, and then we're flying back home Saturday, thank god, to be just back here. So anyway, guys, also, just like this morning, the best part is when you leave the house and then you walk back in it and you see the plate wall again. Like, guys, are you guys ready for this? Okay, get it. Get the vision. Get the vision. Okay. Wow. How insane is this? Okay, or picture this. We're back here. We're walking through. We're walking through this way, okay? Walking through. Oh, hey, Kinsey. Thanks for having me over your dinner party. Blah, blah, blah. Walking. Bam. How insane. I'm just in love with this. I need to add some stuff right there, and then we have one that's going to go up there, but we were out of a little hanger thing. I am so happy. My mom did most of it. She left last night, finally, and then I finished the rest. My aunt came over, and I was giving her a needlepoint lesson. It was a whole thing. Anyway, like, this is just everything. It's very, you know, maximalist core, but I just love it. We have one McKenzie Childs up there. I do feel like it kind of looks out of place, but it's the only... I just needed a big plate that would work, but I just love this. Okay, I'm back from the Garnuity show. First off, guys, obsessed with them, and it was the coolest office. It was just so cool. They have, like, patented a bunch of, like, gardening stuff, and they just do so many, like, genius things. Like, they have some sort of app or some sort of program. I don't know. I need to, like, get into reading this stuff that will tell you with gardening. Like, if Charlie would be your dream, it's like, hey, the weather's gonna hit this. Like, bring your plants inside. Do that. Like, it's genius just based off your zip code, so it'll give you alerts, but also they're the first gardening company. They said they're more like a self-care company, but it's gardening that, like, is covered by insurance, so it's, like, all wellness practices that are proactive, reactive. Like, it's actually... just talking to them, I was like, this is genius, and I loved it. So anyways, we made a little herb garden. They have their container gardens in here. This is an outdoor bag, so we can go put this outside. We have... what else? What else did we get? Thyme. Oh, the organic lemon verbana. I'm really excited about that stuff because it smells amazing. It's going to be good because I love cooking with lemon. What is this? We have sage. I think I'm forgetting something. I'm holding in my dad joke so bad. What? What time is it? Do you got the time? What? You got the time? You got time. What do you mean? You've literally got time, so I was There you go. Got it. You're smarter than me, Charlie. Okay, here is the gift that they gave. They said that in here it'll explain that stuff that I was trying to explain to you guys. Oh, wait, how cute. Magazines, probably. Oh, there's my new queen. I'm a customer, so I can learn more. I'm just so interested. Like, it really is... I didn't even know we had a DCEO. Is this a different edition of D Magazine? Do you see what I'm saying? I don't know. Anyway, very, very cool. Her name is Donna, which is amazing. And then, also, they have this stuff that they have me water with. It's herb serum, so you put it in like your little water thing. And then, welcome to Grow With Gardner. So, I can use the QR code that they're giving me. You can set up your garden, and then you customize all the stuff, which you guys will see in the video that they posted. And then, it'll... Okay, like your Grow Pro benefits. I do have a link, I think it gives you guys a code if you guys are interested in this sort of thing. Register your garden with Grow Pro to start receiving personalized growing tips, weather alerts, plant care guides, eating reminders, harvest help, seasonal recipes, and more, like based on the plants that you have. Especially for recipes. That'd be amazing if it would give us recipes for something that we have in our garden. That would be very cool. And then, we have a little tropical desktop garden. So cute, because there's like... All of this is backed by Zion, so it was something about how having a plant on your desk benefits your like overall well-being and all this stuff. So, you have this little thing to take care of. Charlie loves to take care of the plants. So, you can have it, we'll be sure, a desk, like when we move into the office. But, this is so perfect. And then, she was saying for indoor plants, to water them, you just go and you submerge it in water to like water it underneath. And then, we have this little mister. So, everyone, you can like mist your plants in the tropical system. How cute? This is so nice. And they gave me a t-shirt. Getting dirty on purpose. Garden duty. Guys, it was really, really cool. Like, it was one of those things where I was like, I wish I was here for three hours. Like, Charlie, you would have loved it. I know, I believe it. That's what I kept saying. I was like, oh, he would literally love this. It was so, so, so cool. Like, so cool. So, anyway, really excited about that. Really happy. Cannot wait. This is beautiful. So cool. I want to do stuff with them and like events and stuff where like you guys come in and we like create a little like herb garden and you just learn so much. It's really cool. It's so therapeutic. So, anyway, my new assistant, she's coming over and we are going to shoot a bunch of stuff. Charlie will have a very exciting meeting at three. And today's just a very, very productive day. All right, guys. We are signing our wedding venue. Very exciting. How come you got to click the button? Do you want to? We can't go back now. That's fine. I'll just live with it. Okay. Are you ready? You want to hit finish? I mean, we should do it at the same time. Three, two, one. Slagging a little. Yay! Perfect. Are you so happy? Yeah, I'm pretty happy. Were you worried I was gonna like leave or something? Yeah. Until just now. I mean, you're still good. I'm still nervous. The agreement has been signed successfully. Yeah, let's go. All right, y'all. We are in the middle of making my bridesmaids baskets. We just reorganized and did the laundry room, which is amazing. But these are what I did for my bridesmaids. I stitched them each a needlepoint blue canary bag, which I could only do because I kept my party very small. But I love these. I just finished that one earlier, as you guys saw. Here's the actual visual of all of them. That's Maddie's, Macy's, Dom's, Alyssa, sorry, that's Alexis, my sister, Alyssa, my cousin, and Molly. I love them. And they're all, it's fun because like my sister, actually, my family in general is like more like neutral-ish colors. Like these two colors are way more of my sister and my cousin. That's way more of my step-sister, Alexis. And then that's very Dom, very Macy. And this is really cute. For Molly, I liked doing these colors a little bit more because I, one, I just obsess with this. Like this color combo, especially with the blue canary bag, is so good. I just love the colors. Like they're so perfect and fun. It actually kind of reminds me of Molly, like when I first met her, when we were like 16. So anyway, I just love these clutches. They're so fun. And I wanted to give them something that they could actually like have and use that wasn't like, you know, branded to my wedding or something like that. So anyway, that's what we're doing. We're making little boxes and then just doing notes, keeping it very simple. But I love them. We are doing my bridesmaid asks right now. I am going to have two maid of honors. Shocker, guys, please guess in the comments below. I stitched them as you guys saw all of their custom little needle point bags, and then I put them in their dust bags and then I wrote a nice little note for them. I'm going to wrap them, put some ribbon on them, and then we're going to mail them out. I am even mailing out the ones that live here, my family's because like, listen, it's just they all need to get them around the same time. So that's what needs to happen. Now I'm kind of I'm worried that someone's going to get the wrong one. Can you imagine? So to answer questions, because I already know you've already like, how do you stitch that all? We did start doing these before I got engaged. Like I knew I was getting engaged, obviously. And like I knew that the ring was there. So at that point, like to get these bags painted, it takes like 12 weeks. And then to stitch them takes more months. So my grandma and I split them up. I stitched three plus my bridal bag. She stitched three. We actually finished them like really quickly. I think I finished all three of them in like five weeks or something. It was when I was like in Greece, like was that May? So I did them all in May. We were done by the time I even got engaged. Like I thought for sure we'd meet until July. Hi bud, he loves the camera. Anyway, so we have all these. I'm going to wrap them up and then I'll show you guys when we're done. But guys, it's going to be We are now doing something I've been meaning to do, which is switch these dining tables out. We have a new one coming. This one is just too big, too tall. And then the legs are on. I don't know if this marketplace is a beautiful table, but it doesn't work. The legs are out here. So it just makes it really annoying with the chairs. I got a new one from Wayfair that has the chairs in the middle. I've told you guys about this problem. So I'm going to have Charlie set that up and move it over. And then I'm going to list this on marketplace. I've been a big marketplace girl this week. I'm always a big marketplace girl. Who am I kidding? But anyway, I think it's going to be so much better. I really hope so, because we work at this table all the time too. And now that the team's growing, like we need, we need to see it to work better, but I cannot get over the plate wall. I'm obsessed. All right, y'all I'm watching Kylie Kelsey's podcast. I'm actually about to turn on Morgan Stewart's podcast. My current favorite outside of world's first podcast as always. My makeup looks so messed up today because I did it on like a weird tinted moisturizer. I don't know what happened there. Anyway, it's now 5.30. I'm about to cook us some chicken. What was that? Cook us some chicken thighs. Very productive day. I need to pack for Chicago. I need to edit like seven videos, half of which I need to send in. I need to pay some bills. I need to just, there's, I have a long, long list of things that I need to get done. I need to self tan. As soon as that's in the oven, I'm showering and self tanning and have a fabulous night. You know, I really am so grateful. Like I am so, I just feel so lucky. This week when I was recording with Presley, I was like, hey, we're like the cheesiest people in the entire world. So I'm actually going to stop. But anyway, just a good week. Guys, I just got the craziest text from my aunt. I'm mid packing for Chicago and she was like, hey, background. She works at Gucci. So she gets like insane deals all the time. And she was like, okay, so these shoes have been missing. They've been gone forever. Like we can't get them in stock. We ended up getting them, blah, blah, blah, whatever. She was able to buy them. And she's like, so I got you these shoes. Guys, they're these shoes. Like I'm actually brought to tears. Like, oh my God, they're literally so perfect. Oh my God, they're amazing. She's also the reason that I have those Gucci shoes. If you guys didn't know, she got those like majorly discounted. And I like just literally dream come true. I'm packed. I'm tanned. Charlie just set up the new dining table. And I think like, okay, the old one, yes, I think it looked prettier. I just fear that with these edges, like, does this look too like, like a picnic table almost like a corporate table? You know what I mean? The thing is, it gives us a lot more room in this room, which is what was needed, especially as the plate wall just gets busier. I feel like I'm just overthinking it because a lot of people have dining tables that look like that. I don't know why the table will not sit still or sit flat, but it is better. And also the lip like goes over the couch a lot more. And I'm going to raise this by two inches. I'm actually going to add antique looking wheels to attach to this. My mom had them on a couch forever ago and they looked amazing. Cause when you have a skirt like that, it would look weird if I had anything besides wheels or the wheels are going to look really nice on this couch. And then you can lock them so they don't move. But I, that's going to be like a really cool addition to this room. Anyway, just, this is my vlog shot all week. It's literally just right here. Hi y'all. It's Friday. We made it to Chicago. We are running off to a little sip and shop early event for our tour stop tomorrow. And then we have that in the morning. I'm going to be vlogging a little bit, like not anything. I feel like it's getting a little too repetitive for you guys, but we'll vlog a little bit. All right, y'all. It is now Saturday. Um, we just packed up the room because we were going to this tour event and then we are flying out right after. Here's what I'm wearing. We are on city three of five going very strong with my Dolly necklace. This is from Liz G Carter on Instagram. She makes the most creative pieces that I'm just obsessed with. They're definitely, they're like kind of camp. Like they're definitely more out there obviously. Um, but it's just been such a good hit on tour. It wasn't even planning on wearing it for even in the stops or every stop. And like now I'm like, I have to wear it to all five of the stops. I'm just obsessed with her. She does a ton of stuff. Like she'll do like plate walls, not plate walls. Sorry. Why is it so dark guys? What's happening? Um, she'll do like plate belt buckles. She has lots of necklaces. It's just like the coolest stuff ever. So anyway, this is my look and we're heading out right now. I'm really excited. Last night, the event was so fun. The Chicago girls always really like show up and show up for me. You guys are so nice. I don't know. Like there's just so many of you guys in Chicago and I don't know if it's because of like my high school days in Chicago. Like if you were here, you know, you know, or what, but like even when I was doing live shows here, it's just like the best crowd. So many more people than I would have ever expected. Like, I'm just so grateful. You guys are so nice. Like every time it's so fun. I like going to the events cause I feel like I'm just like making new friends and it was really cool. They have, I think it's old town stitch club. I don't know the neighborhoods here well at all. So if I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but like one of the stitch clubs here, it's so cool what they've done. I know like six months live in Chicago and you're looking for a stitch club. I was meeting so many of the girls from that stitch club and they're like the best. Like I would be in this if I lived here. So anyway, um, we are heading off Haley and I, I didn't vlog this morning, but Haley and I, who was our creative director, we went and got blowouts at like 8am. So it was a great way to start off the day. But anyway, we are officially finally heading off. I got an ice latte, which like normally when I get drinks like this, like it makes me have a heart attack and I'm like one heart attack. It's coming. It's really coming, but it tastes good. So whatever. It's time to go. Okay guys, I have to go now. Charlie's making me.
