We’re going to New York. I have little curtain bangs now. A week from today, I’m going to be in New York. So, I’m very excited. I got my hair done last week. I like to have a few weeks before I go on any trips just for my hair to settle. So, I did that and then next week I’m going to get my.
Nails done, which I’m really excited for cuz I haven’t gotten my nails done in a while, but this one just broke. So, I’m hoping they can fix that. It’s been a crazy insane week. Yeah, that’s really all I have to say. I’m on my way to get my nails done. I haven’t gotten my nails done in so long because honestly I’m the type of girly that just gets her nails.
Done on for special occasions to be honest. But I’m excited. I’m going to a new nail salon. It’s called Lumi Nail Studio in Pasadena. They specialize in Japanese gel nails. I don’t know what the difference exactly is like compared to, I don’t know, American gel polish, I guess, but from their pictures it looks stunning. I think Japanese gel nails.
Also they might last longer and it might be a little bit better for your nails. I don’t know. That’s kind of just what I’m assuming. But yeah, I’m really really excited. I’m not doing anything crazy and fun as far as nail design, but I’m just going to do a really cute jelly nail color that I saw on my Pinterest and I’ve saved it like three times.
Without even realizing that it was the same picture. So, I guess that means that I like it a lot. So, that’s what we’re going to do. I’m packing right now. My ride’s almost here to take me to LAX and we’re heading to New York. My flight’s at I think we’re leaving at like 11:55, so we got a lot of time cuz right now it’s 6:00, I think. But I.
Pretty much have everything packed. I got this new Baze suitcase, which I’m loving. I can fit a lot of stuff in it. And then I’m also taking my duffel bag. I’m very, very excited. Lots to be excited for. I’m going to see my family. So, that’s going to be amazing. And I also have a lot of food, places, and shops, clothing stores, thrift stores.
That I’m going to bring you along with me for. Also, I didn’t film my nails after I got them done the other day, but this is what they look like, and I love them. Just like a little berry color. I need to finish eating and then wrap up my stuff. And I also have some work to do, so I need to pack up my computer. But yeah, I’ll see you at the airport.
Finally made it to the airport. We’re currently at the lounge. I have to get some work done. So that’s what I’m going to be doing right now. It’s almost 8, but I’ve had leaves in about 3 hours or 4 hours actually. I got a little mocha rice bread. So, I’m excited to try this. But I’m also getting a red wine for the site.
Because why not? Honestly, I’m going to try them. I do like the flavor. I think I’d like it better if it was like chia pudding. No, but the flavor is really good. Actually, I like it. It’s a wine. What kind of wine is this? Red. White.
We made it to New York. Our first stop is matcha. We’re at Matcha Pool and I got a hot matcha with almond milk and syrup. It tastes like matcha. It’s the next day and we made it to.
Brooklyn. We’re on our way to PO Bagels. They have gluten-free bagels and we haven’t had any yet. So, I’m very excited. And we have a lot to do today. We’re going to go to Soho and do some shopping, but I also need to get matcha. So, we’re going to do that while we’re at.
It. First of the day, bagel. I got a gluten-free bagel, a gluten-free everything bagel, and scallion free cheese. And then a little I’m meeting up with my cousin in like 30 minutes, so we’re just getting something light. And then we’ll probably get lunch later. I don’t know if we’re going to get lunch here or in Sono, but I’ll take you with.
me. Okay, honestly, this is the best spoon I’ve ever had. I’ve made some at home, but it never turns out like soft on the inside. I’m going to give this a 9 out of 10. Okay, PO Bagel review. I changed my rating. I changed my rating to an eight. It was a pretty solid bagel, but I just.
Think that there’s probably better out there. It is still better than the bagels that I’ve tried making at home. I give it a solid eight. I think the places that we’re going to try later this week will be better, hopefully. We’re at Coco, which is a gluten-free Korean fried chicken restaurant. It’s like hella bougie in here. I don’t know.
If you can tell. This is the vibe. I got a little cocktail. It’s tequila and mandarin and then like I haven’t had fried chicken in years goody. this Italian restaurant. They got this place on this like.
Girls restaurants in New York. We got this drink. That’s good. This is spicy. Habanero. I forgot what fruit. It tastes like a lemon drop. It’s very cute in here. So, 10 out of 10. I also realized I’ve only been recording food one time, too. So, like every clip.
Is just going to be me eating. You didn’t get enough. I know. Oh, I didn’t vlog any of my shopping today, but I didn’t buy anything cuz I’m also having a hard time figuring out what color to get for these pants, but I might buy them tomorrow. So,.

Like a tira latte, but he’s I think he went to the restroom around here. So, I’m just going to wait for him. But while I’m waiting for him, I’m going to do a little taste test because I’m very, very excited. But this is what she looks like. I think they put fresh or they have like fresh strawberry um puree. So that’s what they.
Use. Oh my god. This actually the best strawberry match I’ve ever had in my life. It’s honestly like the strawberry is pretty sweet. So, I just need to mix it up a little bit more. Just going to put this here. Delicious. Okay. Official Kijra rating.
I give it a I give it a 9.5 out of 10. I think it’s really really good. I want to try the normal matcha cuz I got the strawberry matcha so it obviously makes it a lot sweeter but it’s really good. We are having an early lunch. We’re at a birya place tacos. It’s called biria tacos and it had really good ratings like a 4.8. So I’m really excited. I got.
Two of these birya tacos and then a skit and then a tostada. So I’m excited to try. Um, this is my first time in Williamsburg and it’s really cute.
