productive self care day vlog 𐙚♡

🎵 Good morning!

Look at my squish pillow and my central perk sweater. Actually let me turn this way. Okay I think that's better. Don't mind the appearance right now, I just woke up. Uh, hair's looking really frizzy. At least we have cute little braids.

Anyways! Hi guys!

It's Nicole and welcome back to my channel!

Oh my goodness, it feels like I and welcome back to my channel. Oh my goodness It feels like I haven't vlogged in a fat minute I don't even know what this video is gonna be but I was just like Nicole you need to film and also I just have To update you guys on so much because it's been so long I took like a few days off from posting just for like a quick mental detox, which I'll get into in a little bit But I am glad to be back. We have a few fun things on the agenda today And I just want this to be like a very chill laid-back video if you couldn't tell I'm filming on my phone once again

I did this for my last vlog. I know it's low-key a vibe I'll probably get back to filming on my regular camera soon. But today I was like, I'm gonna just film on my phone So hope you guys enjoy this video. It's like so much. Let's get this video going

Guys my mom just starts folding my clothes

Yeah, oh my gosh I could see the bench This bench has been stressing me out for so long

It makes me cry, you know, if you don't take care of things little by little it piles up and then it overwhelms you

Clock it I took out the braids Only a few strands are curly But we are getting ready for a little run. I changed into a little workout outfit I'm gonna put my hair up in a ponytail and we're gonna get a morning mile in. If you know you know I've been running more this summer and you guys I'm getting faster! Yay! I think I started the beginning of summer with like an 850 mile or something around there and yesterday I ran a 758 mile. Ah! So, period. Love to see the progress.

We're gonna do another morning mile today I don't know if I'm gonna be as fast as yesterday, but we'll see

Good morning, baby!

Hi, baby!

I ran in mud yesterday But peep the new shoes I've been obsessed with these on clouds OOTD for our run little aloe one piece on cloud x4s. it's a beautiful day. i track my runs on strava and you know i have to be listening to some good music on spotify. so let's get our morning daily! I

Got a 716 mile

Tell me why I was sprinting today baby steps you guys I used to literally hate running just like the idea of running I'm so sorry. I'm sweating so much. But if you just tell yourself, it's not that bad You're not gonna die if you run. Actually, it'll be the opposite. It's very healthy for you. And you don't have to start sprinting right away. I saw videos where it was like, just run at a pace where you can still have a conversation with a friend. Like if you're just jogging, that's good. And then you build your way up. Especially for long distance. Do it the easier it's gonna get you want to get into running you can do it morning miles It's where it's at great way to start the day Video the shower I feel amazing

Let's do some skincare next point of the day You watch my recent summer vlogs told you guys that I started therapy honestly it's been something I've been wanting to start for a while now, and I just always thought it was a really good tool to kind of figure things out in your life. And I've only had like, what, maybe two or three sessions so far, and I feel like it's already helping. Shout out to my therapist.

I'm not gonna say her name foroken too, which I feel like is definitely my style. I feel like I can be confrontational, but not in like the most outgoing ways if that makes sense. So I feel like when I talk to her and explain things about my life, her responses are very healthy for how I handle them. But yeah, it's been really good so far. As I get older, I just want to keep evolving. Like that's just one of my main goals is to never stay stagnant and to keep working on myself and I feel like therapy has been a great step in that direction I've been doing weekly sessions I had to skip when I was at camp though because I was in like Palm Springs in Vegas

But we are back and I can't wait to update my girl on all the stuff that's happening Skin is looking scrumptious. I love when my face properly tans Sometimes it doesn't and it tends to be very pale compared to the rest of my body, but I feel like it matches pretty good right now It's definitely because I've been out in the Sun so girls really happy about that. All right, I'm gonna go get dressed There's my morning skincare really quick cuz my appointment is soon. I'm have a little avocado for breakfast I want to kind of match it outfit from skin. Anyways, this cute little spin Cheers Mmm, I love avocado

Therapy time I got my squish I'm back and therapy was so good It's funny because obviously I plan on the things that I want to talk about but sometimes the conversation will just steer and we're talking About something I completely did not plan on. But it went really well. Time to finish getting ready for the rest of the day.

I have some building to get done, so we're gonna do my hair and my makeup and also read on my Kindle.

Let's do this thing. music

alright you guys hair is done look how freaking long

oh why does it look like done look how freaking long oh

Look how freaking long it's grown. I think this is the longest it's been for a very long time, but don't be fooled these ends

So dead definitely gonna get a cut before school begins which speaking of I think this would be a really good time to do a Little chit-chat greater with me. Let's you all know what's been happening. What's been going on kind of like where I'm at in life right now So let's do that while I do my makeup first things first I move back to san diego and go back to school in literally a week and a half you guys I can't believe it's the end of the summer But at the same time I can because this summer has felt so long and I feel like we definitely made the most out of it left with my family and my friends back in my hometown. We're also taking a little family cruise which should be really fun. But then when we get back from that I'm basically packing up all my stuff again and then I'm moving back to San Diego. I have one more dance camp with my team the week before school

starts and then my sophomore year begins at the end of August. I could not be more excited you guys. We can talk more about that in a later video when we're doing back to school stuff But I will say I just have a feeling sophomore year is gonna be really good I have high hopes and big goals for sophomore year Okay, but let me update you guys on what's been happening and kind of like the past week I took like a little break from filming and posting I think I just needed a little detox from social media

Screen time all the above and I definitely got all the time that I needed my family and our family friends. We took a little trip to a lake house and it was so fun It was absolutely beautiful there and I literally just read the whole time I was able to be present and hang out. We did do a little vlog on the family channel So that should be coming out this week And then I also went to hard summer with my friends you guys I got to see kt ranata and dom doll in person Chef's kiss my friends and I went last year. So then we had to go again this year and it was so good, I had so much fun

I also bumped into a lot of people from my high school even from university and it was just crazy, like I had a great time but overall I think I just needed to remind myself to take a step back enjoy the present moment and not always feel the need to be filming 24-7

and I'm still posting on my other social medias too, but I think when it comes to my YouTube channel Let's do a little rant real quick, shall we? I honestly you guys have felt kind of lost with my channel this past year Like my freshman year of college was so good because I feel like I was happy in a lot of aspects of my life But when it came to my YouTube channel I kind of felt this Disconnect and it definitely didn't feel like how I felt about my channel growing up when I was in middle school and high school And I think it's because right before I started college, I hired an editor and shout out Vincent

He literally helped me so so much this past year That was my first time getting an editor before then I filmed edited everything on my channel by myself and for the longest time I was so hesitant on getting one just because I'm a perfectionist I like things done a certain way and my channel was like my baby like it started off as like a passion project you know like i didn't think my channel was gonna turn into anything i just wanted to film and document memories and capture vlogs and post things that i was proud of but then obviously with such a busy schedule in college i was just scared that i wasn't gonna be

able to handle it all and balance everything that was on my plate because not only was I working, but then I also had school and dance team. I also wanted a social life and to be able to try things and just adjust to college. So I finally got over that barrier of getting help and having an editor honestly helped so so much. But I think at the same time, because I wasn't editing my videos anymore, it wasn't the same effect as it was in the past. So even though I had more time on my hands to focus on other aspects of my life, I kind of lost that relationship, I feel like, with my channel.

So, that's where I'm currently at right now. My last video, which was my dance camp vlog, I originally was not going to film at all when I was away. But then right before we left to Vegas, I was like, wait, I really want to document this memory and have this as it was honestly so much fun. Not only was it fun filming and including my teammates, but then also editing and finding that joy again of like creating something and being proud of what I'm posting.

And so that's exactly what I wanna bring into my sophomore year of college. I feel like now that I have a year of experience under my belt because of freshman year, I kinda know where I wanna put my time and my energy towards and one thing is definitely finding that connection with my channel again. So I don't even know if this makes sense to any of you guys but basically I just want to

make sure that moving forward I am still posting things that genuinely evoke happiness in me. So I'm currently in a place in my life where I just want to find that balance again of being able to prioritize different things, giving my time and energy towards the things that I think are important in my life and continuing to fill my cup. So I know this chat was literally all over the place, but I think that explains why I took a few days off this past week. It's because I just had to figure out

like where I wanted to go moving forward with my channel. And trust me, I'm still figuring it out, but I think I have a better idea of what I wanna do. But anyways, I just wanted to say thank you for clicking on this video and continuing to support me. Honestly, it means the world. And once again, I never thought I would be able to build this community and connect with a bunch of you online. So I'm just so happy that you are here. I hope you're enjoying this video and I hope you enjoy the videos to come.

But just remember, life is all about working on yourself and evolving. And even if times get confusing or hard in the moment, you will be okay. You will figure it out and life is good. On that note. I think my makeup is done I literally just do like a few products, but I need to go get some filming done for a brand real quick So I will see you guys in a little bit after I'm done She's a super freak, super freak, she's super freaky.
