Stop wait a minute the way you that but you don’t my heart all it and I just want to be with you tonight please I’m a player yeah it’s true but I change the game for you I want to good morning Vlog happy Monday I’m going to film a week in my life this week so I was filming yesterday doing a spend a Sunday with me and my camera.
Died mid nighttime skincare routine so I don’t know if that video will make it up or not but yesterday I just had kind of like a study reset day I ended up going to see the movie it ends with us and oh my gosh it was so stinking good new favorite movie hands down like I loved the book and often I feel like when you read the book your imagination just does.
Things and the movie is never as good but I got to say the movie really really took me by surprise and I absolutely loved it so that was fun went for sushi for dinner but anyway it’s Monday we’re starting off the day strong it’s only 10:00 a.m. and I just finished my first class so I had my health promotion class this morning it finished really early so.
I’m going to go do a few kind of like errand things I need to go to the grocery store and then not really an errand but just something I’ve been really want wanting to do is get a new Journal because the journal that I have right now you know when you like light a candle and the black stuff kind of like spews everywhere and it like my candle.
Kind of like spewed and like got black stuff all over my journal and then I tried to rub it off and then it made it like 10 times worse and my OCD is just killing me and I think it’s just an excuse to get a fresh Journal so I want to stop at Indigo really quickly I have another class today at 12:30 so I have a little bit of time to buy I also need to.
Do some studying because I have an exam on Wednesday so that’s on the to-do list today just a few things that I need to get done um some errands to run but it’s been a really good morning so far I woke up at 4:45 this morning and went to the gym for 5:30 and my new professor has this way of studying where he doesn’t do.
Powerpoints he does YouTube videos which I actually really appreciate because I just watched them when I’m walking on the treadmill so I watched a few YouTube videos of his this morning so he does like Anatomy mind maps and it’s really great it just kind of like breaks down um and gives you a visual on like how conditions affect your body and their.
Systems so I watched those walked 2 miles and then I did a arms and chest exercise so I got in a little bit of morning movement and I had so much energy this morning and I don’t know I was in a funk all weekend and today I’m just like I’m snapped out of it I’m ready to go it’s Monday it’s going to be a good week so let’s go do some.
Errands call hello hi Papa how are you oh hi TR I’m I think I just what up okay we’ll catch you later okay love you Papa byebye s byebye byee okay I got my journal I almost bought literally like 10 other things and I was like no Taylor stay focused you came.
Here for a journal not a candle not a lap desk for the bed and pens and I almost bought another calendar I don’t need a calendar I went for a journal so I got this one there were so many cute ones in there it was so hard to choose but the reason I just got this plain basic one because I actually prefer to just freew write um so I just want line.
Paper inside um and it just says notes and thoughts which is cute and simple but a lot of the other ones had like prompts and um were like gratitude journals which is great but I just love a brain dump and that is why I Journal so I grabbed that one but now next stop grocery store and then I need to get home because I have another class soon.
Back from running all of my errands but I wanted to make another coffee before my next class starts so I thought I would show you guys how I make my coffee because it is my pride and joy I just picked up my monk fruit that I get from the grocery store this is the only mon fruit I will use it is the only one that doesn’t taste like dooo and give me like.
An upset stomach or anything like that and I will never use like a sweetener like Splenda or anything like that because it is just like so bad for you um if I don’t use monk fruit then I sweeten my coffee with Manuka Honey or coconut sugar is the other alternative but this is a nice um sugar-free kind of alternative that doesn’t taste badad and.
Um so it doesn’t Spike my blood sugars first thing in the morning as for milk I use the organic almond milk by milk Organics this is my rider dieye I will never go without this I drive to the states to get it um and I like it because only ingredients of course filtered water organic almonds and Himalayan pink salt simple and the way.
That it should be so I have my espresso machine here I need a mug and I’m going to make myself a coffee I use these organic coffee beans um I’m actually almost out I need to walk and get them maybe I’ll get them today after school but I use organic coffee beans from a local coffee roaster in Fort Langley so I get them from there.
And they’re so fresh and delicious I love them I swear that’s what makes the coffee so stinking good so I’m just going to grind my espresso shot okay I got my shot of espresso in here and now I’m just going to do an 8 oz pour of the almond milk fills up my mug.
To the perfect paint so I have my almond milk in here now if I’m feeling fancy this is when I’ll add in like flavors if I want like a fun little latte so down here I have my tea drawer and all my goodies are in there like my tea and coffee drawer so I love these super fun um salted caramel packages it’s literally.
Called super fun but it is um these are really good so if I want like a salted caramel hot chocolate latte I’ll do that there’s like a classic Hot Chocolate one I also love bloom so I have quite a few of the bloom lattes that I use um more so around like Christmas time in in the fall when I’m feeling like a pumpkin spice latte or I have an eggnog one it’s.
Called nut knog gingerbread is one of my faves what else do we have in here I have so many goodies like I’m just like a tea and coffee I’m a beverage person that’s what I am I have the organic Traditions um Ash Ganda and probiotic one also have I haven’t opened this I haven’t tried it yet um a turmeric latte so if I’m feeling like something that is.
Not caffeinated that would be divine um and then the bloom salted caramel is really good as well um and that’s all just lattes like don’t even get me started about tea cuz I could go on a tangent but um so I have my milk in here and my espresso shot in here so I’m just going.
To warm that up and like I said if I don’t do the monk fruit then this is when I would put in my uh Salon cinnamon and I usually do it with a raw Manuka honey where’s my honey anyhoo um yeah that would be my other sweetener alternative.
literally my morning cup of coffee is like my pride and joy and I have mastered it like I go to bed and I’m excited to wake up so that I can drink this any who I’m going to drink this and I’m going to study before I have to go to my next class for today.
n just got done with school but I need to take out some protein to defrost for dinner tonight I just got off the phone with my mom and we are going to do Greek.
Food tonight so I’m going to go take out some chicken breast from the deep freezed and I think we’re going to do like some hummus and lemon potatoes and then probably like some Veggie skewers something like that but I love Greek food so super yum here is our deep freeze so this is where we have all the organic back stock of all of our meats.
