WEDDING Q&A | Everything I Haven't Told You About Our Destination Wedding + Pack With Me

Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Nellie. Welcome to a new video. You guys, tomorrow we leave for our wedding in Cabo. I just can't believe it's already here. Like time flew so fast and it's kind of terrifying. I feel like this whole year I was like, holy ----, how is it already Halloween? There's no freaking way. I just can't get over it. I'm packing. I'm doing like last minute little DIYs and I just wanted to sit down and film this wedding Q&A. I asked you to ask me questions on Instagram and I wanted to come and spill the tea, just get you guys like prepped for the wedding content because it's going to be insane. I mean it's not only just the wedding day you guys. In my head I feel like the welcome party is going to be even crazier than the wedding. I'm going to do this Q&A and then I'm going to transition it into a vlog of today. I'm still vlogging and there's so much to do so definitely stay tuned especially if you are a bride and you're kind of like prepping and packing and all that stuff. Question number one is there anything you learned later on that you wish you knew sooner in your planning process? I could probably write a novel on this, especially with destination weddings. We were originally going to get married in 38 Florida and then we decided to just look internationally because we thought we would get a better bang for a buck which I do feel like the service is going to be top notch in Mexico like it wouldn't really compare to Florida but it is not cheaper at all. And we learned that the very hard way, like Cabo is not a cheap place. Cabo and Cancun are totally different. Destination weddings aren't always cheaper, let's put it that way. Because everything that you have to pay for, then there's like a VAT on top of that, or like a service fee. I don't even know what it all is, but basically there's like so many random little fees that I don't. we would be here if we got married in the U.S. What's been your favorite part of wedding planning? My dad has been incredibly involved in the wedding. Like, I don't think this wedding would be happening if it wasn't for him. And even though we bicker because we have our own very strong opinions, like, it's... fun being able to get to work with him on such like a big party and such a big project. He only wants the best of the best. Like if he's going to throw a party, he's going to go all out. So I just cannot wait to actually experience this. And I think he's told me that he has a couple of surprises, which makes me a little nervous because I don't like surprises, but like anything he does, like I know it's going to be amazing. So I'm just so excited to like almost see this group project come to life. You're looking so good. What do you recommend adding to your prep if you have a year? Thank you so much. And if I'm going to be so real with you guys, like I... Really try not to talk about it because I don't want to be pushy, but a GLP-1 has changed my life. Like it really, really truly has. And I've lost like 30 pounds from it. And I don't really have plans to get off of it right after the wedding. Like I might start micro dosing a little bit, maybe not taking as high of a dosage, but it has truly been the biggest game changer and has given me so much confidence. And I'm just like so ready to like take on this wedding because I'm feeling so good about myself. And if you don't follow me on Instagram, you may not know I have been working out for like a year and a half before. Before I got on the GLP-1, I had been on it since September of last year and I still go to the gym like four to five times a week. So I am putting in the work. Like I am making sure my muscles are not going anywhere and I'm feeling really, really good and strong. And I'm just really happy that I ended up doing it. So if you just need that extra push to like look more into it, I hope this is it. I just want people to feel as confident as they can. Someone wants to know what GLP-1 dose I'm on and it is so different for everyone you guys. Please do not do what I'm doing. You kind of have to like also trial and error it out. Sometimes I would like bump it up a little too fast and then that was not a fun morning after. But I think I started on like 2.5 and now I'm on 4.2. There are a couple of questions about the cultural aspect of the wedding. So I am Indian and my fiance Ryan is white. I'm not Hindu, I'm actually Catholic. So I wouldn't be having like a full Hindu wedding either way, but the welcome party is going to be like a Sangeet night. We are also getting married on the Bali weekend. The Bali is on November 8th. That also was a factor in doing the welcome party like a Sangeet night. And I just kind of wanted to see all my friends dress up. Like I know they're so excited to do so. So that'll be really fun. Are you doing any choreographed Indian dances? No, I am not. I enjoy going out with my friends and dancing. But I don't know about choreographed dances. Like I used to do that when I was little for a little bit, but I also just feel like it's a burden to everyone else. And then they're like learning it two hours before they actually go on the stage. And then it just looks like kind of half-assed. I personally rather just not have any dances at all, but we are having a huge performer come and do a performance. So that kind of is like a substitution. You guys will just have to wait and see who it is. It's kind of crazy. How many Indian events are you doing? We're just doing the Sangeeth welcome party night. But then on the Bali, we're actually doing like a boat day, but we're wearing like Western clothes. So I don't really know if that counts. Where did your American friends buy their Indian outfits? I gave them links to Lush Kara. I feel like that's a really good, easy one. They ship really fast. And I've gotten four really good outfits from them in the past year. There's also House of India. I don't know if the quality is like amazing, there but it's still like a good option especially if you're like just wearing it once you know and then i also recommended that people would look on facebook marketplace especially if you live in atlanta or like a texas city with a lot of indian community there's also pickle where you can literally rent your indian outfit there's an indian outfit rental app called boomy i recommended that oddly enough some friends actually had friends that went to indian weddings already so they like just borrowed someone's how did it feel to plan a whole wedding that that is taking place in a different country. Our planners were really good. good at communicating and they obviously spoke very very good English so like there was no language barrier. We also went to visit Cabo for the venue tours met the planner team so that was really helpful to just like be able to meet them in person at first and then we went back a year later to do the tasting and like see all the decor set up so it was really helpful to be able to like go at least twice and in my mind I probably would have gone the same amount of times if I did it in And then just like Zoom called for all the rest of the decision. What are you both most excited for? Ryan's not here. He's playing golf. Are we shocked? No. He is trying to play golf so much when we're in Cabo. It's hilarious. I'm like, Kate, you are the groom. Like, that can't happen. He is doing a full golf day with all of his guys, so don't worry about him. He's being taken care of. For me, I think I'm really excited to just, like, see everyone we ever have known and loved in one room. Like, that, to me, is just so surreal, and it can make me very emotional. Honestly, like... The emotions are running higher than ever and I'm already an emotional person but like I will just like start sobbing. It doesn't even have to be like sad it just can be like you know sweet and like Me thinking about the day, I just will completely start sobbing. Also, if you're new here, my parents are both divorced, and so their families are like seeing each other for the first time since the divorce, which was like years, years, years ago, and I feel like that low-key will be special to me. Just seeing everyone in a happy moment in the same room again. Are you having a content creator, girl? Don't even, don't even. You know I have the full media team like fully set up. I have a videographer, I have a content creator, I have a photographer and they all, well except for the content creator but the other two have multiple people on their team. We're getting all angles. I legit have a very bad memory so I'm just like I want all the content I can get so I can relive it as much as I possibly want to and I'm just really excited because I... I had a call with a content creator last night. Actually, we were running through everything and she's gonna help me do like some more. vlog clips because I want like a personal vlog throughout the wedding day rather than just my wedding video which will be more cinematic but I want to like be able to relive like how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking and I really want to like talk a lot in my wedding vlog so hopefully we can execute how I'm envisioning. What events are you having? It's actually kind of crazy there's not just like the wedding day there's a welcome party and there's so many other events around it So let me just run you through the itinerary and so you can follow along on TikTok. and Instagram. Don't forget to follow me over there so you can see real-time updates. We are getting into Cabo on Tuesday. We are going to make a Big Costco liquor run because for our welcome party night, it was just going to be cheaper for us to buy all of that stuff. So we're going to do that. We're going to go to our planner's office, drop the alcohol off there. And then I think we will be able to chill for the night, which will be nice. And then Wednesday, my dad is flying in and then we're going to have like a big debrief meeting, final meeting with the planners around like three o'clock. And then we have an Ilios dinner scheduled for like seven 30 that night. My content creator will be there. I'm so excited. on my bachelorette and it was honestly one of the most fun nights so I'm really hoping that it's like the same vibes. We actually checked it out during our wedding tasting and it wasn't like as hype as the Tulum one. Like I actually prefer the Tulum one but I also heard this is just better than Rosa Negra and Bagatelle so we were just gonna you know stick with it and it's it's obviously super fun and great vibes but when you have the Tulum one to compare it to then you know it's it's hard. Thursday we have a pretty busy day. That is Ryan's golfing day. He's so excited about it. They're gonna be golfing at the Cabo del Sol golf course whatever it is. My dad and Ryan played that multiple times when they were there when we went for the tasting. the morning of I'm actually going to get some bridal mani done. I'm still unsure if I should do double side. because i'm kind of feeling just the inside of my hands but that's always like so inconvenient because you can't really do anything so ideally i would do the back of my hand but then it would show in my american wedding dress so i'm just like don't really know what to do maybe it'll be like a game time decision um and then i'm actually getting another makeup trial with my makeup artist in the afternoon right after i get my nails done later that night it's just kind of like a meet and greet this is not going to be a hosted event people are just going to come and say hi it's going to be at the Four Seasons one of the restaurants there there's some kind of deal where you get like unlimited margaritas and food for X amount of dollars, which is still honestly pricey because the food in the Four Seasons is very, very pricey. But I told my friends, I was like, don't worry about it. Like you can just order all a cart. Like you don't even have to order. Like I just want people to come see me, say hi. And it's. Totally optional because people are still getting in on Thursday and they might just like miss it Friday is when the main events start happening So we have our rehearsal first and then i'm going to get glammed and then we're going to go to the venue take some photos And then everyone will arrive and that's going to be our welcome party sangeet night next day is Saturday Of course wedding day hair makeup starts at like 7:30, which is early, but honestly Is it because? I feel like a lot of people will be on East Coast time coming from Georgia and then I'll be on Central time. I don't want people to be jet lagged like in the night, of course, but maybe that will set us up for success to be able to, you know, get up early and not be so groggy. We are doing a first look. If you guys are curious, you know, I had to get all my photos in and the sun sets at 530. This is something that I wish I would have like maybe thought about before is doing my wedding when the sun sets way later because This just kind of like caused so many like timing logistical issues in my mind like it's not really a big deal but I don't want my whole wedding to be in the dark like I just don't want it to be so we had to bump up the actual ceremony so early it's like kind of like weird and it might be hot outside so just definitely think about that when choosing your date. Yeah wedding day happens and then Sunday we have a boat day at like four-ish and then I'm just gonna like go to like a casual taco place. There's this place called La Lupita, which I've heard so many good things about. So I'm going to make a reservation for like 20 people and whoever wants to come can come. And that is the end of our wedding week and wedding weekend. I'm really curious if I'm going to have the wedding blues or if I'm going to be like so happy it's over. I will definitely update you guys with how I feel afterwards. That concludes the wedding Q&A. Now let's get into the vlog. I know I've said this in every single vlog in the past like two months, but how is... Our wedding already here. We're leaving tomorrow you guys. Our flight is at like 7 a.m so we need to get to the airport at 5:30 a.m and I'm not fully packed I will say but honestly yesterday I was very happy with myself. I got I think all of my DIYs are done. I hope so. I think I'm finished. And then, oh no, I have to like print out one little vinyl thing on the Cricut, but that should be super easy. But I am waiting on like my last minute Amazon order to pack everything, like a little travel minis. I got Brian some sunscreen. I got like foot heel pads. Maybe I can do an unboxing if I don't forget later. Today, I'm feeling good. Today, I'm feeling a little bit more calm, which is amazing because yesterday. It was not like that. I was crashing out and luckily there were no tears yesterday. And that actually might be the first day I didn't cry in like weeks. So I don't know, maybe that's a good sign. But I don't know. I was just like so in the zone, literally like from waking up, we got coffee, came home, just like all day, all night packing, DIYing. And yes, I definitely did this to myself. I should have finished all those DIYs way before. I don't know what you're looking for, but... Unfortunately, I just work better under pressure. I glossed my hair this morning. I'll show you guys in a separate video. I'm going to do like a whole beauty prep video. I shaved my face. And the last beauty prep in Austin is getting my toes done. So that's where I'm about to go. But I also need to make a ton of returns. I need to go to FedEx, UPS, and Whole Foods, which is so annoying when you have to like go to all three, you know? So we're just going to get it done because I need to drop I'm going to drop Sophie at her pet sitter at noon and it is currently... 9 13 which is so doable but I need to like come back and get her you know. I've been feeling awful because we just have not had the mental capacity or like the time to like really like take her on walks and give her the attention that she deserves so I'm happy that she's finally going to the pet sitter because she'll get a lot of attention and walks and hopefully treats. We bought some new treats yesterday. I've literally had the same color for my toes for the past like three years I swear to god it's so funny and the second to last time they were literally running low on my favorite color and I was like. Yeah, is there any way you could reorder that because my wedding is coming up and I need that color so bad. So they actually did and I'm like, ooh. That was scary. I did do press-ons, of course, you guys. Like, I've been doing press-ons for three or four years now. Like, I saw a video, and it said four years ago, and I'm like, what the? It doesn't even feel that long. Like, I always say I've been doing it for two years. But anyways, these are from OPI, and I really like them. But I was very hard on my hands yesterday doing all those DIYs, so I think I'm going to probably need, like, another set for, like, the actual wedding day. But yeah, that's the little update for this morning. I'm hoping that this chill, calm presence stays with me throughout next morning when we're at the airport. I feel like that always makes me a little bit anxious and we're going to have so many bags. I think we're going to do six checked bags. Luckily, we are traveling with a couple friend from Austin. So I asked if they could just each put a bag under their name because when you get to the third bag, it's like $150 and that's so expensive compared to, I don't even know, 60, 80. They're just so greedy. They just want your money. sucks i'm like can't i just have like a wedding pass like i'm going to my wedding i need all these bags we're gonna put them under their name and just pay them back and that will be very nice i think they're gonna try to like take the bags back with them so that you know again don't have to pay that much money on the way back it's crazy how rambly i am right now because i don't have any caffeine in me and i've been really relying on caffeine lately so i definitely know i'm gonna I'm going to crash. That's why I like. Really try to get a ton of ---- done in the mornings because that's when I have like the most energy and a night But the midday is like oh like please don't ask me to do anything my favorite nail salon in South Austin love nails and spa Totally slipped my mind to give Sophie a bath this morning when I was in the shower so I just had to really quickly do that. Since she's going into someone else's home obviously I want her to be clean and feel good and also for the pets that are not to hate her because she smells so I mean she never really smells honestly. Right? What? Maybe her breath but you know not like she doesn't really smell that bad and it's been kind of like rainy and muddy so her feet were dirty but okay you want to air dry or do you want to blow out? Do you want to feel bonita? No? You're gonna air dry? Thank you. I still have so many things that I want to film at home today. Um, and one thing being... A little TikTok using this new Bondi Boost tool. You can blow out your hair and you can also use it as a thermal brush. Like it's an all-in-one kind of thing. And I thought it would be a good day to blow out my hair since I did that gloss. Like I wanna see it shiny. And like, I feel like when it's straight, you can really see it shine. So I think I'm gonna do this and I have like a little setup. I kind of created this pretty recently, but it's really, ooh, it's 11-11. Ryan, it's 11-11, make a wish. I literally wish for like the whole minute, you guys. There's so many unknowns, you know? Like, why not? Try. Anyways, I have no idea what I was saying, but I'm going to try to film this TikTok. Selfie screen is the biggest game changer. I've had multiple of them, but this is definitely by far the best. The best part about it is that you can actually attach your mic to this, which is amazing because this plug is already being used. I just blew out the hair. It was super, super fast and easy. And now I'm just going to do a few swoopies in my hair. Oh yeah. My mom got to Cabo yesterday. She went a little bit early just to enjoy herself and also she's going to work from there. And then some of my friends are actually going today. They're going for a whole week. They're all sending me their plane selfies and it's just so cute. I cannot believe like it's my wedding. This is crazy. I started packing my tech last night. I like charged all the batteries, all the extra batteries and stuff. But I think packing makeup is going to be a struggle just because there's so many products that I love to use. I'm like how do I even decide what I want to use on my wedding weekend even though I'm getting my glam done but like there are a couple of events that I'll be doing my own makeup for and it's funny because my makeup artist is actually using one of the foundations that I've loved for years the NARS Reflecting and that used to be my everyday foundation but now I use the MPH Laced Skin um serum thing it's really not like serum like it i would say it's a foundation i don't know why people call it a skin tint it is really lightweight but i will say Like it gives a beautiful coverage and I love the finish on it and I get so many compliments every time I wear it. I love it. So I'm going to do this today. For hair tools though, I was kind of like mapping out, okay, which curler makes my hair last the longest. And we ended up with this old guy. I think I literally got this in middle school or high school. It's from Remington. I have tried to find it on Google multiple times and I have failed. So I don't even know where you can find it, but But it is a relic at this point, and she holds my curls so well, and it's the perfect width. I never can tell what width my barrels are. So when people ask, I'm like, I wish it was like labeled on there, you know, it's 1134. Sophie's pet sitter lives 10 minutes away. Thank God. Our usual pet sitter lives all the way in the domain, which is a pretty far drive. So at least this guy's pretty close. Um, our original guy was not available, which sucks because we've been using him for years now. I'm trying to wish away my wedding week and wedding, but I am excited to come back home and just like do a full factory reset of my life Why? Because. You know, obviously this has been my life for so long, wedding planning, and I'm just excited to move on to bigger and better things, you know? Like, I want to, like, organize my house. I want to go into the new year feeling really good about my career. I feel like that's been on the back burner, and I really just want to, you know, level up this year. Because to be real with you guys, like, I haven't really had a big goal ever since we bought this house. And then I just was like, oh, yeah, I'm content. But I'm like, damn, like, I need to actually be working towards something so that I, like, you know. Can see progress and it'll make me want to work harder and more. Sorry to get like vulnerable with you guys, but That is truly how i'm feeling right now. Ryan's hair is on my makeup brush. This is what living with a man's like My lash lift alone is already amazing. But when you put mascara on it's actually insane Get a Korean lash lift, it will change your life. Glam's all done and I wasn't on my phone this whole time and dog sitter just told me to come at 1 so it's 12 right now. I think Ryan's gonna grab us some Chipotle. This is one of those times where I wish I had family here just so they could like feed me in these times of like running around with my head cut off. Went ahead and packed like medicine, water boys, hangover relief, All of the things and now I'm going to just switch out my Um screen protector because it's kind of broken. It's just like a little wonky and obviously we're going to take content this next week So I don't want to be staring at like a annoying. Okay. I don't want to be staring at like air bubbles There's like one air bubble that was on the corner that I could not get out. So Switch it out. We're gonna be mad right now I know. Bye Sophie, it'll be a fast week. Don't worry Kind of gave her a botched haircut, but that's okay. At least the hair is out of her face. Bye, Sophie. I just dropped Sophie off and the house already feels so empty. It's crazy. But I wanted to run through all the DIYs that I made for this wedding, you guys. I mean, if you've watched the vlogs, you know that I have been struggling with... Like all of these random little hobbies that I just like had to start and try to do during my bridal era. I'm truly mentally unwell for doing that, but honestly, I don't regret it because I'm like literally coming out of this bridal era with so many new skills. And my sister already was like, you're going to help me with my birthday next year. I was like, I got you. So let me run through everything that I made because I'm really proud of all of them. Let's start with the two that were the biggest pain in my asses. It was just like embroidery as a whole. It's not very easy. It looks easy. It is absolutely not. I took like two one-on-one classes, maybe just one. The machine itself was giving me such a hard time, you guys, but we finally figured it out. It's not absolutely perfect, so I don't want people to look like super up close. And you guys, funny story, I spelled squash wrong. Well, low key, my planner did, and I just like copied and pasted it and didn't really like look twice at it. So I spelled squash wrong on like. Eight of them. And that was a lot. And I was like finally getting it right, and then I figured it out. I was like, holy ----, I'm gonna die. Anyways I you know had to redo it so whatever but then I have these aprons that I want the bartenders to wear. I'm not going to do it because my hair will get messed up but this like strap was so long. I got them on a random like wholesale website and this strap was so long I ended up having to cut the strap and sew it a little bit tighter so I actually just did that yesterday. It wasn't too bad. The other thing is that the embroidery takes so freaking long and I did not I did not realize that. Like this one, I think probably took around 45 minutes just to do one. Little napkin. It was insane. It's just because there's so much detail with the like letters and everything. This one took around 20 minutes. Partly cloudy today. So the sun's gonna be kind of in and out. So sorry about the lighting, but let's go into the name card. I literally just had chat create this image that I could cut out on my Cricut. And then I tried to learn how to do the pen writing. And that was also trial and error. Oh my God. Every one of these DIYs had many trial and errors. Obviously it's my first time doing this stuff. So like, you know, can't really expect to be. I'm not going to be an expert, but I really love how it turned out. I did have to get the thicker jelly roll, which was like the 10 size instead of the eight. And then I had to learn how to offset. I did film how to make this and this. In my last vlog, I just don't know when I'm going to edit all of these vlogs, and I really hope I can soon so I can get them up before the wedding, but who knows. Next one is a bar menu, and I did want to put something on the outside, but I just really don't have time. I should have definitely tried to do this way before, but that's okay. This is what it looks like inside, a little Sophie cartoon. I'm not like a huge fan of like including dogs in weddings, to be honest. In my mind, they're gonna die and you're gonna see that and it's gonna make you sad. Like, I don't know, maybe that's just me being morbid, but I didn't really include her in anything. But here I actually needed to fill the space up. So I was like, you know what, Sophie, you're going on it. So I thought that was really cute. And this fabric is printable canvas. And I also made this whole design. on chat. Sorry, not sorry if you hate AI, but it was very helpful during my bridal era. I'm not gonna lie. It feels and looks like fabric. It's actually really crazy. I think I'm the most proud of these Japanese knot bags. They're so cute, and they have these little fringe feather things on the bottom, and this is one of my wedding colors, so I think they'll look really good with my bridesmaid's dresses. I didn't actually get them flowers to hold down the aisle, so I'm thinking I'm thinking maybe they'll want to use this or like, I don't know. I don't really care. I just thought it would be like a cute gift that I didn't have to spend a ton of money getting them gifts because I already kind of like went balls to the wall for their bachelorette goodie bags and I didn't want to like have more stuff to just like actually bring over there. So I thought these were so cute and I'm so happy with the way they turned out. I also took like a sewing class to even learn how to do this and I never really sewn before. Did these DIYs cause me a lot of stress? Yes. I feel like there's not even that many DIYs. Like I probably could have done so much more and we were going to do an after party, but we decided not to. So that would have definitely had me doing more DIYs. So it's a blessing in disguise that we didn't do that. But I am happy with the ones that I did because I feel like it's like a personal touch for me. And like, I don't know, I just love being creative. And I think it was fun to try to like try something new. Don't mind the snooki bump. We're just like getting our hair out of our face I'm a little overstimulated right now, but I wanted to unbox these Amazon packages. There's still a couple more coming, but I just want to like pack this up and like get a checked bag ready to go because I think we're going to drop two off at our friend's Let's see what else. These are the press-ons that I'm probably going to do on the wedding day. I just thought I should probably have like one extra pair. Well, I do have an extra pair, but like I guess two extra pairs. I don't know. Who knows what's going to happen? I did get Apple AirTags for suitcases, but I also got some cheaper ones to maybe put on like gadgets and like cameras and stuff so that I can like beep them at any time. This is the brand of the off-brand AirTags. I also decided to splurge and get some Luxe unfiltered. Eye patches, I've heard that they are the best, so I'm very excited to try them. Some nail glue. I love my brush-on nail glue, especially this one from Amazon. Tums. I randomly like helped shoot an ad for these Tums and was influenced because they were like eating them on camera, and they're like, wait, these are so good. Do you want one? I was like, I'm good, but now I'm like, maybe I do want one. As I've gotten older, I can't walk in the house without slippers and I know that Four Seasons will have slippers so do I really need these? I don't know but maybe like on the wedding day it would be nice to like some cute house slippers so I got these. Funny story, I had a panic last night because I remembered that one of my bridesmaids is pregnant and she she's showing and she put on her form months and months ago obviously when she didn't know she was pregnant that she was a small so I got her a small and then I was like oh ---- like I don't know if I don't know if that's gonna work out. Thank God that the. The PJs were able to be ordered literally today and come by tonight, so I'm really hoping that they actually don't get delayed. But these are the cute little house slippers. So many random little things that I thought about. Listerine sprays. These pads that go actually behind the heel. Portable luggage scale, we have one of these, but I feel like I need my own sometimes because I never know where Ryan's is. This is, oh, some like mini hair bands, acetone wipes, because sometimes I get glue all over my press-ons and I just want to be able to not have to carry a whole bottle of acetone. More Listerine sprays, some scissors. I feel like you can never go wrong. You should always be traveling with scissors. Microfiber cloth, especially because we're going to be taking a lot of content this weekend. We cannot have a blurry. freaking iPhone. That is like my biggest pet peeve. I can tell when people are not like wiping their iPhone. Oh, what the heck? Okay, maybe I got two. Amazing. We're all stocked up for the wedding press-ons. And then I got some cotton rounds. And then last but not least, we have ball of foot cushions. As you can tell, I'm just trying to be as prepared as possible, as comfortable as possible. I just don't want to be miserable at all in any way. So we're going to pack all this up and I'll probably stop vlogging for a little bit so I can actually be Very productive. Honestly, today's been pretty productive, so I'm happy about that. 49.9. How crazy is that? I just came home to a couple more Amazon packages. Not even as... flip-flops. I have these same exact flip-flops, but they're kind of just like worn down and I wanted a new pair because these are some of my favorites, go-tos. So I took two bags over to our friend's and then I went to Whole Foods and I went to UPS to make some returns. So I'm glad I got that out of the way. Love these so much. They're like teak dupes and they're shiny and they're so affordable on Amazon. I literally have them in. This color and black, but they kind of do get scuffed just because, like, they're that shiny material, so that's why I wanted, like, a fresh pair for my wedding weekend. Of course, I'm craving something healthy, sushi, you know, so I sent Ryan over to Uroko, which is a hand roll spot. And he is on the way back with them. And you guys, Dancing with the Stars is on tonight. So I was telling myself, like, I really need to be packed by 7 p.m. I don't think that's going to happen. I do feel pretty good about, like, where I am. I just really need to pack, like, makeup and, like, random ---- like hats and stuff. Um, but... But... I am gonna enjoy my hand rolls and watch Dancing with the Stars. It's crazy. I really never thought I would be like such a big fan of Dancing with the Stars but like I feel like it's because I know like all the lore behind it. Like I didn't even really watch it for years and I still knew like who was dating who and like all the drama on TikTok. So I think it's like kind of fun to keep up with it. Sunscreen for Ryan and me I guess. That was honestly me with The Bachelor but Some girl had to mess it up. All of my friends were like, oh my gosh, I'm totally gonna watch The Bachelor if Taylor Frankie falls on it. And I'm just like, dude, she is bad news. And look at what she did. She literally canceled the freaking show. Like, not cool. So still, still salty about that. I'm still loving these makeup bags. Basically everything stands up well. i got a lot of ---- in there but there are so many little compartments to put all your makeup and so it's really easy to see it's funny because it matches perfectly but this bag is base Face. oh and this BK Beauty brush like holder is the most genius thing ever just slides right down and then you can just have them standing up and then when you want to travel with it it has a zipper so cool
