In today's vlog, I'm having an honest check-in with myself, setting up some new Amazon bathroom decor to make filming easier, and resetting my mind and body with an everything shower.
Grab a warm drink, get comfortable, and let's reset together.

Anyway, what's up y'all? It's me Dolly back at it again
with another video and shout out to you if you're new here. What's up?
My gosh, whatever what?
Bye.
All I know is I'm out of it. I'm not going to front.
I'm out of it. I need to catch up with
myself. My body needs to catch up with my brain needs
to catch up with my body. I don't know.
I'm just really out of it. And I don't want to like get depressed.
I kind of feel like I'm about
to get depressed. And it's like, if you can feel it,
then can't you prevent it? So I'm kind of like
at that stage right now. So I thought that I needed
to take like one of those really good
everything showers and just get my life kind of reset or whatever.
Today's Monday. So I don't know.
For me personally, I'm getting kind of irritated
with the whole, what's Monday, it's Tuesday.
Look, that's not how my life operates,
so I don't really want to think like that anymore.
I don't want to keep thinking that I'm on,
like, a time schedule, because I'm really
not.
Thank God, thank you, Jesus.
But I do want to have more structure in my day,
but, like, I don't want to keep doing
the whole, oh my God, an hour, and stop with all that, okay?
I don't know if it's me stressing myself out.
I don't know what it is. I've had a lot of more
time to myself lately so I'm just like in my head a lot
and I'm like sitting with my thoughts a lot
and I don't know what's going on. I don't like it but yeah.
I picked up a couple things from Amazon
just because like I do want to just get into the mood.
I wanted to record more and I want to like
actually like my surroundings a little bit more
and stuff so I got a couple things to help me
I need to film more including
this is like vacuum suction magnet bracket.
It's for a car phone holder but I got it
so that I can put it in the bathroom on the mirror so
let's figure this out.
So I'm thinking because I have this so my mirror is dirty I know don't
worry about that right now.
i should probably clean it though well
let me see i'm gonna use some alcohol
and put some alcohol on the mirror wipe it down with this
but so i got it because sometimes i want
to like do my makeup and stuff like that
and i don't always want to sit here with this big old camera
and try to figure out a way for me to put the camera here
in front of me when i could just get a light
and put the light right here
whatever tripods whatever okay so i got this now let's see how we do
So it comes with
And honestly, I just feel like I'm overwhelmed.
I feel very overwhelmed.
I'm getting kind of frustrated with this
I'm taking the blood thinners.
I'm on like almost month four
and I'm starting to see a lot of like new symptoms and stuff.
And it's frustrating.
I'm very hot a lot and I'm sweating. I get hot flashes.
it's a whole situation so we're just really we're just trying
to get our lives together okay that's
what this is going to be about everything moving forward
is about getting our lives together but
Yeah, so I thought this was pretty cool
because you're telling me that you can do all this
swiveling and stuff.
If you can really do that, then we're going
to be in business, so we're going to see.
So I have, it says number one and number two,
wet wipes and dry wipes, and then this is
the whole situation itself.
I guess this is like the magnetic parts.
These are the magnets, the magnet parts,
and I'm going to guess this goes somewhere.
I don't know.
We're about to see.
This is the situation itself right here.
That's pretty cool.
I like this.
That's nice.
It's actually open, it's a tight open.
That's pretty cool.
Let's see, I guess you open it.
How do you do this?
It was pretty thick, so you open it like that, and okay.
Don't be afraid to put some motion on it
because I thought I was about to break it.
That's pretty cool, so I'm gonna guess that it go, oh!
Okay, excuse me.
So what's this stuff for?
Hold on.
And then turning it makes it stick more.
That's pretty cool.
Okay, that's pretty cool.
So I'm thinking I want to use this phone.
This is my old phone.
I think this is like an iPhone 12.
I'm not sure.
But I want to use this one.
And where does this go?
I was thinking that this goes on the mirror, right?
All right, who is she?
Cool.
Okay.
So yeah, it literally just goes right on it.
And then I locked it.
Oh, you see that?
Pretty cool. Check it out. Isn't that cool?
Okay so let's see. Now I think you're supposed to just
take this and I think you're supposed to just put it
on the back of your phone. I didn't want to put
it on the front. Am I crazy for doing that?
But I'm putting the thing on the front of my phone
because I want to be able
to do that. Boom. Okay look.
Nice. Look at that. Cool.
Whoa.
Snap.
That's a strong magnet.
Okay, let's see.
That's cool, okay.
That's cool, I think we did it.
Not too bad, but I'm definitely not putting it
on the front of the other phone.
So that's pretty cool.
I like that.
And then again, it just, that's cool, I know.
When you wanna take it off.
Snap, this thing is tight as in like it's cool,
but like it's tight.
It's like, be careful, okay, but yeah.
So I'm gonna go ahead and put that right here
so that I can just have the phone set and ready
at all times when I wanna record.
How do you like me?
What else did I get?
I also got a package from Amazon like I said I want
to just spruce up my bathroom a little bit
like I said I want to spruce up my bathroom a little bit so I did get
this little something from Amazon that's crazy I got
these I feel like I'm always in the need
for freaking LED lights the way that these kids break
these LED lights is so annoying
please let me know because I'm thinking about wrapping it up
and putting it like around so
they can come into the bathroom from in there
but yeah so let me know I'm so sweaty but
If you have any recommendations on like better ring lights
and whatever this stuff is that
doesn't break so easily or something
that I'm able to just like literally put up and
not have to plug in, I don't know,
but I'm so tired of them ripping these, but I need it
because everybody like sleeps different times
and stuff like that and sometimes I don't
want to put the light on, but I need the light
on because like the baby nightlights and this
is basically my nightlight, okay?
So if you have any other suggestions, let me know.
This is just from Amazon.
And then I also got some
Then I also got some of the ivy.
You guys know, if you've been following me
for a while, if you've been watching me for some time, you know
I like to have the little fake leaves
behind me. I feel like that's what's
missing. But yeah, I do think that a major part
of like my issue right now
in my life is just that I'm overwhelmed.
But I'm the one that's
like putting it on myself. That's the problem.
And sometimes, I don't know, sometimes
I just feel like I'm not doing it
enough or
if I'm relaxing for too long or if I start to feel like
I'm starting to calm down I will just I'll go crazy
it's like do I deserve to relax do I deserve to chill like hell yeah
you know but sometimes it's just hard you know but yeah
Trying to do a couple things that make me feel better.
I am going to take a quick shower though.
But yeah, I got these two. Pen and gear.
These are from Walmart. They're $2. I'm thinking,
you know, just put it right over here behind me.
Let's go ahead and do that. I already got
some falling. Oh, I like how it comes like already leafed up like that.
Leafed up, I'm leafed up.
Good.
but okay i'm not sure if i should like fold it
or just let it hang i think i'm gonna let it hang
here let me see it back you up baby
and i need a new tripod i need so much i need some i need
stuff but i'm honestly i'm in a season
of saving money right now i'm not gonna front but so i'm
wondering should i hang it like that because i want
to make sure that it's like above me enough
but enough to where i don't have to like make
my camera go all the way up you know i'm tall out
There's not a lot here, but I think...
Okay, that should be good.
There we go.
And this is a 12 pack.
And I like these.
They don't have a weird smell.
Sometimes these things have weird smells to it.
And I'm basically just literally folding it in half.
Like that.
Just folding it in half.
And then adding a push pin.
And putting it right into the wall.
I know for sure that's why in my last video.
Like that's why it honestly it takes me so long to.
just make videos because i don't know what it is with me
and perfection knowing that like
perfection is just not in my DNA nor is it something
that i truly want to strive to even
be because what is perfect like you know
but it's just like i don't know it's like the idea of
not coming i don't know it's just like you want
to come as you are right but when you come as you
are what are you doing and is that good enough i'm constantly having
these conversations on my channel
and i never feel like i get past this point only
because i'm ever bombarded
outside of all of this with things
that are showing me that my mindset isn't right
And I've been feeling like that for way too long.
And I know I'm right.
Like, I know that I'm not wrong.
You know, like, what is there to be wrong about?
Or not even that.
But, like, it's just the things
that I'm seeing on a daily basis are not real.
They're not really real reality.
And I'm starting to really realize that.
And I'm starting to really realize how much it has affected me
and just my mental, my everyday being.
And the problem is that I don't want to get stuck on that thought.
I want to move forward past that thought
and I just feel like sometimes when I say things out loud
that that's what stops me from moving forward it's
like once you said it it's kind of it so it's like
you're not really expecting too much out of it
because you've already said it and so it's not
like I want to get into a mood of like not doing anything
or talking or anything I'm not one of
those people I just have to accept that I'm
not really one of those people that do the whole
move in silence and all that. now i'm pretty much one
of the people that like says what's on their
mind all the time like i don't see i
at first well i've never seen where it hurts me i only
see where it helps me but it hurts me when i don't
so there's that. i also saw a video that
said that when you have dreams about
your teeth falling out that means that it's a rebirth.
Let me know in the comments down below what
do you think about that. I've had
the I've had the dreams of the teeth falling out before thing
and I know for a fact it's just
because I'm not saying something or something
that I'm not saying that I know I need to say but
also what do you guys think? Do you agree
with that? Do you think that it's a
rebirth? And what do you think about this wool?
Very nice.
I have one more and I could put it in the bath
but let's see what that might look like if I were
to just wrap this around like this.
Is that extra if I just wrap this around like this like that?
What? This cute? It's kind of cute or whatever.
It's kind of cute. Give me some little leaves and
some feathers. All right anyway speaking of shower we need
to get in here. So what are we using for
our shower today? That's the question.
Okay you see how sweaty I am? This is crazy. Okay.
Don't mind these. Most of them are clean. We all share a bathroom.
Don't worry about that. Small space living. One bathroom. So
what am I using in my shower today though? I have this new towel
I am using. I also am a Fair's brand ambassador now.
Shout out to y'all. They saw my video
of me using this and they were like hey
what's up and I was like what's up.
Ain't too much going on, you know how these people be,
but I'm very, I'm falling out of love with working with brands.
That's just me though, that's a different video.
But yeah, so basically I'm using this facial
cleanser in the actual shower, the Olay.
Of course I'll link everything. Basic towel, these are from
Mainstay, Walmart.
The 10 pack of the towels for five dollars, love those.
I have a loofah sponge,
this one is from Walmart as well, so I'm using these two.
And today I am going to go in with
This is the Arm & Hammer Essentials
Ultra Replenishing Body Wash Baking Soda.
This is from Dollar Tree.
I'm going to be using this along with a black soap.
The black soap that I have is...
The black soap that I have is actually from Yardley.
This brand, Yardley, this is the cocoa butter.
But I'm also going to use the black soap that I have from there.
It's called the charcoal one from Yardley.
that's really good. when i get out
of the shower i'm going to be using this one
this is a cornstarch shower powder this is from dollar tree
and i'm also going to be using some Tiger Balm
on my back my lower back is
my lower back is out of this world right
now i can't even describe it i cannot
even describe it also right i need to shave my legs so i'm
actually going to use this cherry vanilla
Equate body scrub on my legs i do the scrub first then i shave my legs
and then put on the aftershave stuff like that and then
for a soap that's going to smell good this one is from Spa Luxury
this one is from Dollar Tree as well
and it's called Love Struck and this
is an exact dupe of Love Spell from Victoria's Secret
i was like man i have not been back to Dollar Tree since this
if you see that video where i went
to Dollar Tree and i got all that type of
stuff
and i spent like eight dollars i'm like
y'all i'm gonna be good for a minute y'all i'm still good
like i don't use all this stuff all
the fancy stuff i don't use all that stuff all the time
so it's not a big deal for me to like have stuff left over for months
and months on end too
that too is why i think you should listen to me
when it comes to product recommendations
because i actually use stuff and i have stuff for like
so long so there's that anyway let's
get in the shower i have this dress
from Temu it's just a regular basic dress
Nothing too crazy, so let's go ahead and get in the shower,
and then I will come back and
let y'all know how I feel.
Alright, so yes.
So other than that, I'm going to be getting in the shower
and just going on about my day,
but...
Thank you for spending some time with me, I guess.
We set up some stuff in the bathroom.
We got a little bit of a new filming situation going on now,
so hopefully we'll feel a little more inspired
to get back in here like we used to do
and just kind of figure it out.
Don't we like that?
