life unfiltered ｜ meet my ＂brother＂, shopping with Kev, skincare routine

We have decided on the first three countries that we will definitely visit. I have not seen him since I was in nursing school, so it's been a long, long, long time. Good morning. Hello. Are you awake? Yeah. Why'd you wake up so late? I'm tired. You went to bed first last night. I did. I was just really exhausted. I have been waking up with this weird pressure in my chest and anxiety. I think it's from just not finishing the tasks that I was supposed to do the day before. It kind of just sucks, but I'm trying to just get ready and do my face, put on a real outfit and, I don't know, just get the day started. Do you ever wake up like that? No? You don't wake up with stress and anxiety on your chest? It's not a great feeling. Anyways, Kevin's going to go make breakfast, but I'm going to show you this bedroom because I don't think we've actually ever showed you before, and it's starting to finally come together. We've gotten rid of a lot of stuff that needed to go. Okay, so our futon couch, we did actually get a new cover, and then we got rid, I don't know if you guys remember, but we had literally boxes and boxes of just random stuff in here that's finally gone, so we can actually move around and stuff. It's a small room, but it's honestly not too bad. We have Kevin's desk, Kevin's chair, or Lucky's chair. This actually has a drawer, which is really nice. This is a work in progress, so we have two by twos from Ikea. We'll probably either get rid of these or change the little containers at least, because they look kind of ugly. They're not even the same color. And then this side has a massive closet. I will not open it because stuff will literally fall out, but it's got a lot of guest stuff, so guest bedding, guest mattresses. Apparently, I'm a bad vlogger, like I don't show any of the stuff. I'm heating up some leftovers from Tofu 101 from yesterday. So this is called the Chinese donut. Every culture has their own donut, which is like fried dough, and this is the Chinese version. It looks like this. It's very good, but it's probably not the most healthiest thing in the world. Breakfast. We've got some Chinese donuts, aka 油条, and leftover 肉饭 and 油饭, as well as some watermelon. You know, one thing I was thinking this morning, like a green flag, is that I really appreciate that you let me just do my morning routine. You don't rush me, you let me just take my time, but I feel this innate rush, like I'm already so stressed. Why? I feel like somebody's, nobody is rushing me, but I feel like somebody's, you know, feels like I'm taking a long time. I have to speed it up. I think it's just normally getting ready for school and stuff, you know? But we don't have a strict timeline. The worst feeling is when you're awake and the other person's asleep, and then they're making a ruckus, and then you don't have a real sleep, but you want to sleep. Are you just speaking about somebody from experience? Yes. Maybe. I will be more mindful of that. So, travel plans are en route. We have decided on the first three countries that we will definitely visit, and we might make it four. They're all kind of like in the same area, and they're all countries we've never been to, so we're really excited. Again, no flights have been booked at this point, but I do feel like you have a better grip on what you're doing at your work, too. And trying to finish all the stuff, like I talk about, step three, research other small projects, get all that stuff done, and then we can go relax a little bit, and then go back to the grind. It's nice when you have, in school, you have all these breaks, right? Like you know you have finals week in a certain time, and so you just have to make it then, and then you get a little one-week break. It's hard. That really doesn't exist when- There are no breaks when you're adulting. There's no spring break, no winter break. There's just summer vacation. Your daily puppy. See? He loves Achilles' toy, either when we're on the phone, or we're vlogging. Wow! Very exercised this morning. Very good dog. Okay, also, I went to Swarovski yesterday, and I went a little ham. These two are rings that I got yesterday. I really, really like this one. I think it's so cute. I feel like I work really hard to earn money and save money, but I really don't spend very much money on things for myself, and maybe that's why I feel so burnt out all the time, because I'm not actually treating myself, so I went shopping yesterday, and I got these two rings, and they're not even that expensive, but I really like Swarovski quality. I just feel like it lasts a long time. In the past, I've gotten expensive pieces. Well, they're not that expensive, but expensive relative for what it's worth at Tiffany's, and I feel like the silver always tarnishes, and I've never had an issue with Swarovski. I also got this little guy, which is a little rose gold ring. This is what it looks like. It's a little rose gold ring, so then the last thing I got yesterday was their tennis bracelet, and I already have the silver one, but I wanted the rose gold one, because I just don't have any piece of rose gold wrist jewelry, so I was like, okay, why not? I already know that I love the tennis bracelet. This is what it looks like. It is so pretty. I can't wait to wear it, and I know that I will. I like getting jewelry, because it doesn't take up a lot of space in your home, but it's just nice little decorative pieces that really elevates your fit. Do you know what I'm saying, babe? I don't know. I only have one piece of jewelry. What do you have? My watch. That's true. I'm going to show you how to make this barley tea, Mickey's favorite tea. It's a mugicha barley tea for hot or cold brewing. This comes with these big tea bags. We're still trying to get a pitcher. We don't have one, so this is the current setup that I have been utilizing. This is supposed to brew one liter or something, but we're lazy, so we can make it faster. Just put this here. Mickey likes it cold, so we can use cold water to brew it, but it takes a little bit longer for it to permeate. Then, in this other cup, I'll go get some ice. I think that's dark enough, and then just pour this in here into the ice. I can refill this for later, because we can use that tea bag multiple times. Hello. Thank you. Okay, I'm going to go do some work. Okay, look at that beautiful desktop. I need to honestly manage these cables better, I know, but a little update on the Samsung M8, since I've been using it for, I don't know, like two-ish months, but it's honestly been amazing. Love the keyboard, love the Apple trackpad I've been using. Everything's been great, and I will never, ever, ever be returning this. Hi, honey. Hello. Are you having a hard time? Yes. I'm struggling today. I just feel like I have so much on my plate. I feel stressed, because I have so much to do, but we're going shopping instead, because I've been wanting to go shopping for a whole week. I've been wanting to go, but today's the only day that we can go, but we have stuff that's due today. We have deadlines to hit, and we have friends in town, and we have TikTok and content that we're collaborating on. It's just very stressful. Do you feel that way, or no? No. I did a lot of work this morning. I'm thinking about other work, so we're not doing okay. Hello. Welcome back to the vlog experience with Dr. Kev. We just did some carpool karaoke, but we're currently at the Seattle, I think the premium outlets. I basically cannot buy anything unless it's actually on sale, so this is why we shop at the outlets, but it's kind of far, so we only come once a year, maybe twice. I usually come once by myself, but I'm coming with you. I kind of like the shorts. Can you unbutton? You look good, though. It's fine. What did you say? Yeah, I'm bringing one bigger size. Are you disappointed in me? No, it's okay. I tried to use the healthcare discount or student discount, and I couldn't find a picture of my ID, which is normal. Why would I take a picture of my ID? Why wouldn't you have a picture of your ID in your entire camera roll? Somewhere. Okay, quick update. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up having time to vlog today, but one of our very dear friends, Austin, who you guys might know on Instagram or on TikTok, he's actually coming over. He normally lives in Philadelphia, but he's in Seattle for the weekend, so we are all going on the Babi side and hanging out. I have not seen him since I was in nursing school, so it's been a long, long, long time. We're supposed to see each other a couple times, but COVID and many other related things, but here is the fit. I love this dress. I feel like I always end up wearing this dress. I can't decide if I want shoulders down, shoulders up, what the vibe is, but I feel like white is my color. I don't look good in any color except white. Okay, I'm going to introduce you guys to our bestie here, Austin. It's literally been years since we've met, but we're about to film some TikTok, so we're going to do a little outfit change. We're trying to leave the house, but we've left everything a mess, and I cannot find Mickey's phone. It's up here. She always makes me go get stuff. Okay, hello. I'm doing my evening routine. We just ended up finishing dinner with a couple of our friends, and we just got home. It's like 12.30 at night. We normally don't stay up this late, but we weren't even doing anything special. We were just talking at home, and it ended up getting really late. I am going to start with some oil cleanser because I have quite a bit of makeup on. Austin is like my internet older brother, and I haven't seen him in a really long time, so it's nice to get to catch up with him. I got to meet him for the first time. Yeah, this is the first time meeting both of my friends, actually. I'm going in with a regular cleanser. I've been dealing with really bad blackheads, and I've been using this for the past two months, and it's made such a big difference. The blackheads on my nose have all disappeared. I just take a tiny bit of this and dab it in the affected areas. It genuinely, I feel like, gets the gunk out of your pores, and then it gives the effect that your pores are shrinking afterwards, so I appreciate that. I normally use some sort of toner, but I'm really tired, so I'm just going to use this Caudalie grape water. If you don't have some sort of mist water, I highly recommend it for the summer. I just go like this, and then I tap it. And then, in terms of what I do for moisturizer, you guys know I love the Tatcha, so I won't show you guys that, because I always, always use that, but I want to just show you. This is the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, and it's a little bit more affordable than the Tatcha, so I like to use this on days that I'm not using my Tatcha, and I've also been traveling a bunch of new skincare products, but I want to make sure that I fully review them before I share them with you guys. These are my trusty ones that I've used for a while now. I have really been obsessed with the Rode, this is from Hailey Bieber's line, the Peptide Lip Treatment. This is my favorite lip treatment recently. It's like a gloss. Sometimes I'll use it as a lip gloss. Okay. Nice. And then, as you guys can see, I have this massive pimple right here. So I'm going to add a pimple patch on this. We're going to use these, actually from the Creme Shop, and they are pimple patches that are so adorable. I will link them down below for you guys, but there you go. Thank you for joining me on today's vlog. I hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget, you're a 10 out of 10. Don't let anyone ever make you feel otherwise, but I will see you guys next time. Bye.
