Good morning. I literally woke up 10 seconds ago. I was supposed to wake up like an hour ago, but I could not wake up because I went to bed so late last night at like 3:30 a.m. I'm vlogging today because I'm hanging out with my friends and my friend Julia. Julia Ma, you guys already know her. She's been away in London for study abroad for the past 3 months. I haven't seen her in 3 months, but she's back for spring break. So, in celebration of that, we're hanging out. Really excited to see her. I haven't seen her in so long, obviously. And yeah, we're going to catch up with her. So, I thought I would take you guys along with us and we're just going to have the most basic,

fun, amazing LA day. First, let me take a shower. How much time do you guys normally need to get ready? Because for me, I would say I could get ready really quickly. I mean, besides showering, I could get ready in like 10, 15 minutes. It's either that or I have to do everything. So, my hair, makeup, and outfit if I want to like myself the whole day. And that I would say hour and 30 minutes. I need to shower for 20 minutes. And you can't underestimate the time that you need to like dry your hair and do your skin care. I don't know why skincare takes so much longer than you think. So, that's like extra 20 minutes. And that's already 40 minutes. Makeup for like 30 minutes. Outfit 20. And then

I got to head out the door. I always have to make sure I do all my skin care before I do my hair. So I don't touch my face with hair care residue on my hand. I did something to my face. Can you guys tell? I'm like supposed to massage my face, but it hurts. Doesn't hurt that bad, but I can definitely feel it. Heat protectant spray. I've been loving anything and everything enough. I use their shampoo and their conditioner and the heat protectant spray and the oil. Okay, I'm giving myself 20 minutes to do my makeup, which is not enough time at all. But this is my bed for taking too long to wake up. My face is a little Is

that my dark circle or is that the bruise? I can't tell. I need to talk about what I did because I am all about being transparent. I have nothing to hide. The only reason why I wouldn't talk so much about getting like work done is because I don't want people to think that they need it as well because you really, you know, uh, it's your freedom. You can do whatever you want. If you want it, you can get it. If not, it's fine. You're free to think whatever you want. But personally me, I do like a natural look, whether it's for my face, my hair, body. But I believe little enhancements can be made for you to be more confident. I don't have too many experience with getting work done just

because being in the states it's a lot harder. We don't have easy access to all these like casual new treatments like Korea or Asian country does. And when they do, it's still really expensive. And I'm one of those people. Maybe I need to stop thinking this way. But if I'm getting something done, any beauty service done, I want to do it in the city that I live. going to Korea and like getting Botox or like lip filler so much cheaper. I want to find a place. I would rather do it here. I'll have somewhere to go to if something goes wrong or if I need to like redo it. They know exactly what they've done. I got collagen stimulating shots on my face. So, I don't have anything like that

stays permanent on my face, but I got the shot in certain areas of my face that lack volume. And that's always been kind of my insecurity, my issue. I see my face all the time, whether it's for YouTube, for modeling, my own pictures, for fun. Whenever I lose like a little bit of weight, my face loses like all the fat and it makes me look so tired. Shadows all over my face and yeah, that's just always in my insecurity. So, I wanted to weigh out different options.

I went in, I was like, I don't know what I want to do to my face, but these are my concerns. What are your wrecks? I don't want anything crazy. I can't have too much downtime. What should I do? and they recommended the Juul look volume which is the collagen stimulating shot. And right now the results I have fluids still in my face that's supposed to get absorbed or like break down to stimulate collagen growth at the end. That usually takes like a month or two. My result

isn't even going to be like as much as this because right now my face is swollen so it looks extra like plump but I think it's supposed to look even more natural. They design it for you when you go in. They look at your face symmetry and they inject it where they think you need it. And for me, that was like underneath my eyes and under my cheekbone and on my right temple because it's like more indented here. And then they put a little bit of leftover right here. I'm going to do my makeup and then I'm going to do the lip combo on camera because every time I vlog I forget what lip combo I use and then people ask me in the comments and I feel so bad and I feel bad for myself because I can't

recreate the look that I like. So, I actually bought this myself because this lip liner is my favorite lip liner and I lost it. This is Ali Cosmetics Precision Pot Lip Liner in the shade comes naturally. So, I'm going to use this. It's new, so it's so sharp. I do love this lip gloss. I don't know if I like this color. Never used it in this color, but we'll just use it today. Oh, that is so pretty. This is also in comes naturally. This is one of my favorite glosses.

This one from Kylie. Yeah, that's my makeup. Very um natural and nudie, but I added the highlighting blush, so it's super glowy from Armani. I think we're doing great on time. It takes me about 22 minutes to get there and it's 10:30. We're supposed to meet at 11:00. I'm going to head out soon. My finishing touch has been the Nahus Phoebe. I always just do like two sprits. I was thinking I think it would be fun to see if our idea of basic LA day aligns because obviously I live here and I don't do super touristy things on a daily basis, but I would say LA girls do love participating in touristy

activities just for the fun of it and for Instagram pictures because so iconic. But I also do have to mention that today is going to be like a content day for us influencer girls and we're going to the Greystone mansion which is great for pictures. I've never been actually but it's very Julia's aesthetic, very princess. And then I don't know what we're doing after. I am bringing a change of outfit just because Julia says she's going to, so I'm like why not? I want to take some Instagram pictures. So outfit, some extra shoe options. And I always like carrying a water bottle with me so I stay hydrated. So, I'm going to bring this. My sunglasses and content day. I'm bringing my extra

phone. Haven't pulled this out in a bit, but this is my iPhone XS. It's really great for taking pictures when it's super bright outside because it doesn't do that thing where it adjusts the brightness of the photo that the newer phone does. I'll bring this Hello Kitty blotting paper. I should probably pack my uh extra battery for that camera as well. And my wallet. I think we're ready to remind myself to do a OOOTD later when I'm outside. Monday 11:00 a.m. Let's see if there's a line at Community Cuts. There's no way I'm lining up for this. Oh my god. What?

Oh, it's spring break. Oh my god. Holy moly. I need to call Julia right now. You guys, Jeffrey, are you here? I think I'm by a school. The line is insane. Oh my god. And I just realized it's spring break. Oh [\h__\h] I know. Oh my god. I was so shocked. I was like, "It's Monday on 11:00. There's no way the line's going to be like bad." And I look and it's like around the corner, basically. I don't think I don't

think we can win. I don't know. Oh, do we want to wait? Whatever it is, I got to leave around 1ish, 1:30ish. So, yeah, we can't waste time. Okay, well, we'll wait for Julia. I'll text in the group chat. Wait, why is it so packed? I Why is everyone here? It's 11 on Monday. You guys know there are other coffee shops in LA? I know. Wait, what do we do then?

I don't know. Yesterday I didn't even wait cuz like the line was like shorter than that. But do you think we should just wait? Like do you think it'll take like an hour? I think it might take longer than an hour. This is Julia. My nail. It's so cute. Got a avocado toast. This is Oh yeah. They walk out there like Hello. That's a bowl. I thought that was a yoga That's beautiful.

Are you guys going to go to the girl in the goat? I was going to reach for it. Can I try? I've never tried this, but this is like their most popular item. M. This orange juice. Insane. Mhm. Oh my god, it's so hot. Thank you. Wait, can we do this? I don't have We could pretend. I want to film the one that's like the matcha appears in your hand.

Yeah. All the matcha. Wait, we need Are you frozen? I'm so good at this. What? the owner. I'm not the owner, but the manager. What's the tea? Yeah, me. Yeah, you. What's the tea? I need There's no tea. What's the tea? No tea. Wait, I don't know. What's the tea? What tea? There's no tea. We're walking around. What street is this? Is this Melrose?

I don't know where. And we're trying to take Instagram pictures. I actually took really good ones thanks to Jeffree. We're trying to find a location for Julia. If you want street and walking, I think this is nice. The background. This is the background. Oh, wait. There's like a staircase moment here that's really cute. I will show you.

It's really this serious sometimes. Wait, this is cute. These are really good. Wait, wait. Okay, I'll one more time. You got to lock in. I have fish posture. Shoulder straight back. This is the behind the scenes. Cute strut. Um, I think they were better than the first ones though. They might have a little bit Can't really smell it. We literally just came in here to wash our hands. Feeling clean.

Feeling so green. We're now going to Greystone mansion to take pictures. Okay, I'm doing an outfit change in the car. I realized, of course, I forgot to do a OOTD, but I was wearing this top from Oh, I forgot this brand name. Scarlet and Sam. Yeah, that's the brand name. Really cute. Simple, but this design is really cute. And there's like a little tie to make it tight and flattering. This plaid skirt is from Zara. And then I was wearing my Steve Madden boots. Love these, but I was sweating. Go more girls. This is the Chilton Private School. Long as I'm not like out in the sun. We made it to Greystone Mansion and it's quite literally a mansion up here. It's beautiful.

Ooh. Yeah. Beautiful. I feel like I'm in Rome or something. Do you guys ever just like hold the camera up and see how it looks and just Yeah. Son's like, "No, I don't do that. I'm sorry. This could be cute, Julia. What about here? Yeah. Wait, this is good. We took our pictures. Sweating so much. Time to change. Yeah, time to change back. What's a very LA cafe for your LA day?

La Land. Ooh. Is there one in K Town? No. I want a smoothie. Um, Earth Cafe. We're now at Series A. Apparently, it's really packed, though, so I don't know if we can stay here. I'm going to try the mango sticky rice cream tea. I also want that. It's our mango rice. Sticky rice cream tea. It was Damn. For real. It's time for us to sit here and look through all the pictures that we took while editing a Tik Tok as well. We are now at the Grove. The timing was kind of awkward.

We were trying to look for something to do because it's a little early for dinner. So, just stopping by the Grove. And then we're going to BCD for dinner. Grove. We're going to love coming to the Grove during the weekday. It's so peaceful compared to the weekends. It's so busy on the is influencing me. I wonder if they have different color. How much is this? 35. Not bad. Okay, I'll hold on to it. Did you guys know that you can buy a basket at Brandy for $12? That's okay. That's a pretty good deal. But

why is it like crooked? Oh, the shoes are cute, too. Who's getting this? They have really good ooni pop. I lowkey like I'm like a ride or die. I've never been. I'm finally home. I've been out for like 9 hours. I'm debating if I should go to the gym or not. I think I should. I can't let myself rest for too long and then I'm not going to want to go to the gym. So, I'm going to rest for like 15 minutes and then I'm going to go do some cardio at the gym. Hi guys. It's the next day and I haven't been vlogging today. I was going to make it into like a two-day vlog because yesterday

definitely wasn't enough vlogging. I don't think so. I didn't get to vlog that much today because I've been down bad. I don't know if you can tell, but I have a lisp right now because got my Invisalign finally and I cannot speak properly and I've been sad because it doesn't hurt yet. It doesn't hurt. Maybe it's supposed to hurt in like a couple days. I'm going to leave you guys here cuz I kind of like the lighting right now. Here. If I can prop you up a little bit higher or maybe I'll just hold it here. I was telling my sister like my teeth feel like they're in jail.

They're like imprisoned. And I don't know if this is just my dentist, but they told me that I can eat with this on. I'm supposed to eat with it on. I'm supposed to have this on at all times. I only take it off when I'm brushing my teeth. And I tried eating with this on and it feels so weird. It feels horrible. I can't like feel my food and I can't really bite into my food properly either cuz it's like rounded. And I was trying to like bite my food cuz I was eating a chicken wrap earlier and I couldn't eat properly. That made me really sad. I literally live to eat. So, I don't know what I'm going to do.

I'm thinking I lowkey might just take them off to eat and just brush my teeth and put them back in. That's extra work, but I'd rather like enjoy my food. I'm getting dinner with a friend and like we're going Oh, no. He's I have to go. But I think I'm going to take this off because I don't want to be sad while eating. Yeah, I'm sorry. This is my first day and I already taking this off. I'll be good about wearing them time. Help. Okay, you guys are coming with me for this dinner because we're going to go eat something yummy to make me feel better.

I'm going to get the hummus and steak plate. You're getting the chicken. I'm actually not familiar with this area, but it's so nice. I'm obsessed. It's like everyone's out and about. Everyone's sitting outside eating, drinking, walking their dogs. Yeah, the weather is perfect right now, too. Here comes the mukbang. This is like so much food. Oh my gosh, this looks amazing. Bread with hummus. steak with taziki sauce.

The steak is really good. That steak at the sister restaurant is probably really good, too. That apparently the restaurant next door is our sister restaurant and it's like a wine bar/ restaurant. It's going to be so good. Right. this music. I was going to ask you a question as the photographer. Yeah. What are some tips you can give to people non-m models that would help them take better pictures?

Like them being taking photos of, right? Yeah. Like we just want to take better Instagram pictures, but every time it just turns out so like awkward. What advice would you give as a photographer? And that's interesting cuz I don't think that's their fault. I think it's a photographer's fault. I think it's a me thing. It's uh my ability to bring that out since most my clients are not models. My job to kind of bring it out of them and also choose the photos that like I think that they look best. That is a good point though because I think even if it's not a photo shoot and it's like very casual photos for like your Instagram or for your memories from your trip, whoever takes the

picture is important and not in like a gaslighting way of like, oh, you suck, but more like how comfortable you are with that person. Do you find that challenge to be fun? I think with my wedding clients, almost all the times that I like get a really fun photo from them, especially during their engagement session is when I will tell them to pose and then they'll get really awkward with each other and then they'll laugh or those photos are the ones that I use. Oh my gosh, you look so natural. I'm like, oh well, it is like kind of natural. You guys are like, you think that you look awkward, but with models it's easy.

They're like professional. I asked that because so many people ask like, "Oh, how can I take like better Instagram pictures?" There's so many things I can say, but yeah, you can pose better. You can find better lighting, but at the end of the day, you also need a good photographer, someone that you're close to, someone that feel comfortable, we're on our way to get my favorite dessert in the world. My favorite dessert in LA called yoga. I've been obsessed with frozen yogurt. It's insane. I think about frozen yogurt on the daily and I had yoga like a couple days ago, but we're back because they have a matcha flavor that's limited edition. And the thing that's really

addicting about this place is they have rotating flavors. So each day they post on their Instagram story what flavor they have available. And I'll look at their story and I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I need to go again today because they're swirling lavender and Earl Grey and I can't miss it." cuz they're like saying it's the last day, but they have it again today. I had lavender and earrate last time and it was so good. But today I'm going to get the matcha flavor and probably the strawberry because their strawberry is really good, too. Okay, guys, guess what? They were swirling the matcha and strawberry, which is perfect. Those are the two flavors I was going to get.

The matcha is not um it's pretty strong. It tastes like a matcha latte. Like actually strawberry is so good. I always get the mochi. I swear. I think I did like the lavender and earlier more. That one was like a shocking flavor. I should try it. I've met a lot of inspiring people and also I guess sharing my own ideas to other people has kind of I was watching Nuria while getting on ready. One of my favorite comfort creators. I'm home now. Change into new

pajamas. This is from a brand called Kite. They sent it as a gift to me and it's really soft and really comfortable. I'm kind of obsessed with it. Yeah, I'm getting unready for bed. I already washed my face. Let's do some skin care. What do I want to have? This tray of skin care that I've been reaching for and the combination I'll kind of switch up. I use this Vita retinol like once or twice a week, but I used this yesterday. So, we're going to keep it simple today.

I already did toner. I think I'm going to do this, which is just pure hydration for my skin. And then we use the fancy dual effect ampule from Midon. I wonder when the bruises are going to go away. You guys can definitely see that. It's like right here. It's like a smaller one right here, too. I'm like going through it right now with the bruise and my teeth, you guys. Like, it's affecting me way more than I thought. I don't even have the Invisalign on right now. But the attachment parts, oh my god, the ones on the outside doesn't bother me that much, but there's actually some inside as

well. And that, oh my god, I can't help but just feel that constantly, and I hate it. I still can't get over the fact that I have to keep this on while I eat. I just don't understand how I'm ever going to get used to this. But, you know, everyone's been through the feeling of the question in your head like, am I ever going to get used to this? And before you know it, you are used to it. Moving into a new apartment, starting new school, first day of having braces. I'm hoping I'll get used to this really quickly, but I don't know. I feel like I'll never get used to it. I'm so dramatic. But I brushed my teeth

already. And we're going to pop them back in. Which one is this? This is my top. Did I mention thankfully I'm only wearing these for 6 months max. They said hopefully if I wear them like I'm used to. Me popping these back in. It's a signal that this vlog is going to end soon because again immediately I can't talk. But I need to get used to talking with these on so we can get rid of the lisp. Or am I always going to have a lisp for the next 6 months? That's crazy. I'm going to have to like talk to myself at home so I can get used to this. New fear unlocked. What if I have a lisp for the next 6 months?
