day in my life_ matcha mochi waffles & finding joy in the little things 🍵✨.

Hello guys! So before we get into the vlog, I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Belif for sponsoring today's video. So the holiday season is right around the corner. I've seen so many people put out their Christmas trees already, which is crazy because, at least for me, I don't really feel in the holiday spirit. But it is always nice to get an early start on gifts so that you're not stressed out later. I want to talk to you guys about the Belif Let It Glow set, which I think will be the perfect gift for this holiday season. This set includes the Moisturizing Balm, Aqua Balm Jelly Cleanser, Moisturizing Eye Balm, and the Witch Hazel Toner. I think this kit is a great gift option. It's only $38, which I feel is a reasonable price for a gift. It's the same price as a full-size Moisturizing Balm, but it gives someone the opportunity to try other Belif products like the Cleanser, Eye Balm, and Toner at no additional cost. I'm pretty sure most of us are going to be spending this holiday season inside at home, so I think that it'd be really nice to give someone like a mini skincare routine because who doesn't want hydrated, dewy skin? It's getting a lot colder now where I live, so my skin has been getting pretty dry, especially around my cheeks and nose, so the Moisturizing Balm has been my go-to moisturizer. It just leaves my skin so soft and dewy. It's clinically proven to provide up to 26 hours of hydration, so I don't have to worry about reapplying throughout the day. The texture is velvety and smooth, and while it is super moisturizing, I love that it doesn't feel heavy or oily. So if you guys are interested in getting the scent or the Moisturizing Balm, I will have links in the description for you guys to use. For breakfast, I will be making matcha mochi waffles, or attempting to because I've had my waffle maker for a few months now, and I have yet to use it, so I thought today will be the day. I think that is everything. So a half cup of mochiko, a quarter cup of regular flour, three tablespoons of sugar, one teaspoon of baking powder. I forgot the matcha. I really like matcha, so I'm going to put a little bit more than a tablespoon. Ugh, too late now. A teaspoon of vanilla extract, and then finally two tablespoons of coconut yogurt. One cup of milk. There we go, much better. Oh dear, I don't have cooking spray. Okay, so we're just going to use a bit of coconut oil and hope for the best. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even know if I overdid it. Okay, I'm just gonna close that baby. Oh dear. Oh no, it's sticking. Oh dear. The first waffle, not too bad. Wow, this honestly looks a lot better than I was expecting, but let's give it a try. Wow, so chewy. It does taste more like a dessert than a breakfast, but it's okay. Here you go. How is it? It's good. Actually? Yeah. It's chewy, right? Yeah, it's mochi. It has been so long since I last wore makeup in a video. I'm taking a short editing break, but I thought that I would show you guys my updated notion because I feel like I am finally starting to get the hang of the platform, and I've made a few changes since I last showed you guys. I feel like since I started using Notion, it's helped me stay more organized, which is always good. So here we have my little homepage. First thing is my weekly to-do, and it's currently Monday that I'm filming this on, which is why it's so bare and incomplete. And then I have goals, expenses, wishlist, and tv shows. I'll show you guys my tv shows. As you can see, I have categorized everything by country of origin, and of course the longest is kdramas. The way that I set this up, check means complete, obviously, and if it's on my list but unchecked, it means that I am waiting for a new season to come out. So that's everything on my daily, and then the next page I have is YouTube. I got this template from my friend Alexandra, who is the Notion queen, and I will leave her video in the description. Oh my gosh, her Notion is unreal, guys. So I just have a directory to my social video ideas and goals, which obviously I still need to complete. And then here we have my content, and I've been starting to keep track and plan my content through this. It's just been really nice being able to keep track of everything in one place. I should edit this to editing. But yeah, here I have all of my completed videos since I've and you can also see a calendar view. It's literally only 3 30, and it's already starting to get dark. So in my last video, I got a few questions asking where I got my bucket hat and my bag, and I actually got them both from Depop. And I have been so obsessed with Depop lately, so I thought that I would do a little Depop haul for you guys because I have found some really great stuff on that app, and I thought that I would show you guys. So the first thing is the denim bucket hat that I wore in my last video, and this was actually brand new when I got it. I believe the listing said that it was from Urban Outfitters, but I only paid, I think, seven dollars for it, so I thought it was a pretty good deal. And then this is the bag that I got. I think she's so stinkin' cute. It's like a mini tote. It's from Opening Ceremony, and it's just this blue gingham mesh material, and it actually holds quite a bit. And I like that it has a zipper closure, so it feels a little bit more secure even though it is see-through. But yeah, I was able to fit the picnic snacks, my book, wallet, hand sanitizer, just everything fit in this bag, and I thought that they looked pretty cute together. And then I also got two green cardigans. I don't know why I like this. These are actually both from UNIF, which is a brand that I used to wear so much in college. Okay, so this is the first one. I believe I got this in a size small, so it's a tad oversized. Not really, but I will say the material is kind of itchy, so I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to keep it. I might end up reselling it on my Depop, but yeah, I'm not sure yet. It has the UNIF logo right here, and I think that this would be really cute to pair with like a white crop top and some loose baggy jeans. And then this is the second green cardigan that I got. I think that the style is called the TY cardigan or the thank you cardigan. I feel like I'm giving Oscar the grouch vibes in this cardigan, but I mean, I dig it. This cardigan is a lot thicker and softer, and I'm just so in love with it. It's definitely very oversized, like this is an extra small. But yeah, I freaking love this, and I'm going to be wearing this so much throughout the winter. Tastes like a Hacho. With the shrimp? Mm-hmm. Yummy. Sauce me. The sauce is not good. Is it? Oh my god, it's so good. It's like the sauce makes it. I wish I put it back. People said in the comments that even though they can't see your face, they can still see how precious our relationship is. Precious? I guess we're precious. I might use that word to describe us. Not precious. I'm going to end my day with some mango mochi and studio ghibli, which honestly, to me, sounds like a perfect night.
