VLOG: house inspo, camera tests, early fall clothes & home decor! ✨

What is she doing?

You're going for a ride.

Oh my god.

Oh no.

Big brother.

There's Lizzie.

I got a couple pillows.

So there'll be a house update soon. I love everything about it.

Lizzie.

I got some really good stables.

Oh!

Oh my god.

One shot of espresso.

Two shots.

Nice.

I don't taste the sweetness that much.

It's balanced.

I think you got more coarse corn and I got more of the milk.

The sweetness, yeah.

Wait, can I try yours then?

Yeah.

Oh, yours is perfect.

I want that one, but I don't want yours.

I'm gonna try yours.

Okay.

Good morning, guys.

Happy Sunday. Testing a new vlog camera today. So let me know what you think about this footage. It should be smoother. I've seen the comments about the shaky camera, so I bought a new one and we're testing this out. It's 11 46. We just got out of bed. It was a really nice rock morning. I can't believe it's noon, but that's what Sundays are for, you know? I don't know the last time that I got out of bed after 11. The plan is kind of up in the air for the day. Serving it with coffee.

Can you hear him purring?

Say hello.

I think something that I'm gonna do over the next couple days is this. As I've lived with it, I think it's still too bright, which is funny because I really was on a whole thing about wanting to pop a color here, but I just don't think this is right.

So I think I'm gonna do something to it. I don't know what yet, but I have supplies. So we can see what happens. The beautiful thing is that like I can continue to redo this as many times as I want.

And that's fun.

Like I like painting. So I kind of just want to paint. Yes, I could paint something else, but this is not right yet. Something needs to happen here. I think we're gonna make eggs.

I think I might go to my parents.

He wants to go to the gym.

So I might go sit by the pool.

I can't try.

Uh-oh, it's okay.

I'm having a little bit of trouble.

Whoa. And here's the breakfast spread. We got tortillas, eggs, pole sauce, avocado, taco sauce, and arugula.

I think I'm gonna do a base layer of avocado. Hello, how are you? Oh, hello baby girl.

Were you in the pool?

Hi.

Hi Brady. Go in.

Oh, she's biting it.

No Brady, no.

You want it to come up?

Oh, what's biting it. You want it to come up? What is she doing?

What are you doing, Bubs? Oh my god!

What's going on? I've never seen her do this. She made a hole.

Why are you breaking them? I thought you...

I was trying to push you,

you didn't pull for it because of the...

I'm just confused.

Oh you, you're ruining all our pool. Hey, off.

Hey.

Not nice, leave it. Taking a nap?

I know.

Oh it's like sinking.

I know because Brady put a hole in it.

Yes, she screwed the thing with my favorite raft.

Not the favorite raft. My favorite raft and she fucked it up.

Brady why would you do that?

I ordered three new rafts.

I'm gonna try to put it in.

Look at your little paw prints. and she fucked it up. Brady, why would you do that? I ordered three new bras.

I'm gonna try to put it on.

Look at your little paw prints.

Do you wanna go in?

Do you wanna go swimming?

Okay, we're gonna go in.

What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

No way she's gonna bring me to you.

This is actually insane.

Where are you going?

This way Brady, this way.

That way. Be careful.

This is insane.

Brady.

You're going for a ride.

She's taking me for a ride.

You're not going to be able to pull her out. No, no. No. You're not going to be able to pull her out. No no no.

You're losing it.

What's going on?

It's her new toy.

Relax.

It's okay.

You're okay.

Good girl, buddy.

No Brady.

You just stay.

Stay.

Stay.

Oh my god.

Brady, relax.

Relax.

Don't let her go through the bushes.

No Brady.

No.

No.

No. You just stay, stay, stay. Oh my God.

Brady, relax, relax.

Don't let her go through the bushes.

No, Brady.

We've been in the pool for a while. No, so nice to float. My mom just brought out some Mexican corn salad and it is insane. Or what is this, three corn salad?

It's so good.

It looks like there's obviously corn cilantro green onion

and some black beans.

Feta.

I got to take a picture of the container so I can try making

it.

It's insane.

It's insane.

What a day.

What a day. So nice. This summer, gotta be the best.

The best summer ever?

The best summer I've ever seen. It reminds me of my childhood so much.

Does it really?

Yeah.

It is 5 o'clock. Hot as heck outside. Like it is so- I should take my cup in. My dad convinced me to buy yet another camera to try that should arrive tomorrow so we'll have some fun camera comparisons in this vlog but it is time it was very nice to see you today Brady

girl it was very nice to see you

you can also use the milk that you got. It's pretty heavy.

Oh, I bet that's good. I don't know.

These, no, these cookies are crack.

But these aren't the same.

Yeah.

Those are the ones. So what do you think?

Well, I wouldn't, I wouldn't mind trying the Twix,

but I'm like, can't, do we need more cookies in the house?

We do, we do.

So you gotta choose. Let's try the Twix then. But these are insane. Like I could not stay away.

Really?

The mushroom one was really good,

but I don't know if I want it again.

I'm not sure.

Let's make our own pasta tonight.

This is the one we really like.

The mushroom ragu. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken is good. The three cheese with black truffle, I bet that's insane. Lemon artichoke, chicken Parmesan. Oh, and then they have the marry me chicken, which is insane. I've never had the Summerhill one,

but in brackets, it's fantastic.

We just make marry me chicken tonight.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Okay, back on the other camera I've been using. Let me know if you can tell for the rest of the day, up until I get this new camera, if you can see a difference like in the stabilization. Let me know if there's a noticeable difference.

Otherwise, I don't know, but we're working on dinner. We're going to do the marry me chicken, but with some alternatives such as tarragon

instead of basil. Oh my god.

Dinner is looking insane. This looks so good.

Yoda. He's like oh my god. Is that Twix? What is that? Little known fact about Yoda, guy likes a cookie.

Well, I know. He always comes over when cookies are out.

Now, he's not allowed cookies.

No.

But that does not stop the curiosity.

He does not eat the cookies.

But he likes to smell them.

Alright, are you ready?

Oh my god.

You gotta choose your character.

I'm gonna take this side.

Yeah. Good, I'm excited to see what you think.

Honestly, I would say this is a very good cookie. I could not complain, but I think the toffee one, I might be a little better. It had like caramelized bits. Still insane. So pre-Big Brother snack time.

All this right now on big brother. ♪♪♪

Guys, I have like zero motivation to work out.

Like zero.

I don't know if it's the heat or what, but like, I don't want to do it. I don't want to go.

I am going, I'm going, but I don't want to. I just want to share that. Walking over there, 50 minute workout.

Feel lazy.

What can I tell ya?

I do.

I also think it's just like this kind of workout. I'd rather go to the park, you know, and do that circuit. It's, it just feels more appropriate for summer,

even though that makes no sense.

I don't know. I don't know, but we're going. I'm going with Sarah Dunk, so that's a highlight. We're gonna get lunch afterwards

so that we can catch up and everything.

Got a meeting this afternoon, got work this morning.

It's a regular Monday. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm coming.

I'm coming. Hmm. Okay, 1130, I am heading out. This is my workout set for the day. It's just shorts and a little tank. Go there, Ritzy, I will link them. I have this little bag. I will also link this. Gonna keep my camera in here. Wallet, water, you know.

I am honestly so low energy today, but we are pushing through. We're going. And it's gonna be great. much better. So.

Beautiful. It's a work of art. It really is. Like a moment for Sarah's toast. Radishes. It's way better than I thought it was going to look.

I can drive it. What's on top?

That's a good question.

I've asked myself that many times.

I feel like it's like nutritional yeast or something.

Yeah, that was my guess as well.

It's there.

We got our smoothies. I got the recovery smoothie, which is insane. Which I've never tried this one, it's just vanilla.

Cheers.

Let's see.

Here.

Did you see like an order for this?

It's nice. Yeah?

Yeah, that's my favorite one. I got this a couple weeks ago for the first time ever. And I was like, this is the best smoothie I've ever tasted. And like a little bit to date, when you get the little chunk in there, it's a little snack. Yeah, this is the best smoothie of all time. Okay, I'm picking up a package before heading home. It is so hot outside.

And of course the package I picked up was huge. I ordered a couple of pillows from Anthropologie. I can't let him see me or he's gonna freak out. And they tried to deliver them at six in the morning and I did not wake up. Of course there was duties on this.

So it was dropped to shoppers. I got a couple pillows for the bedroom. I hope I like these. I like this, it's like a velvet, but I liked the, this detail on the edges. I got to shower really fast.

I have 18 minutes until a meeting. So I'm gonna hop into a really fast shower, wash my hair, because it needs it, and then take my meeting, figure out the rest of the day. I'm gonna bring these upstairs, see what I think. Although now that I've paid the duties, like I'm gonna keep them, but I gotta shower. One minute on the clock until my meeting.

Perfectly timed afternoon here.

We need real desk chairs. She always knows analytics.

She has a grid for everything.

And she's just been looking through your content

and is gonna go through.

♪♪♪

Amazing. Thank you.

Thanks, Lauren.

That was a very valuable call. Very valuable. There were a lot of things that I wanted to know about how to improve, you know, in my social world. Sometimes I get very stuck in my head because I've done this for so long

that it's hard to separate my brain into like, you know, what makes sense to post in 2025 and how to structure all these different platforms and how to structure all these different platforms and how to structure your content. You know, when I started doing YouTube, it was 2013. It was a very different environment and it's hard to grow with the times.

It's, anyways, it was a very valuable call and I'm excited to like process all of it, everything that I've learned and figure out how to best do all the things. But it's 3.40 now and I'm gonna take some time to process all of that stuff and settle my brain

because right now I have a million and one things going through it, which is exciting. Like I feel inspired right now, which is the best feeling ever. Also, I do in fact feel significantly better after working out, hanging out with Sarah and showering.

I feel fantastic. I'm having some dinner at 645. Ryan's going gonna get home late because he wanted to go to the gym after work. So I'm having mostly leftovers with some green beans on the side. We also have a meeting this week with an architect to talk about the house and the layout. So there'll be a house update soon. But in the meantime, I want to show you some inspo photos.

A bit of a mood board of what my vision is. I've saved and pinned and screenshotted a million and one photos and just so much inspiration, which is kind of overwhelming. So I tried to go through and like keep it simple so I can show you some very simple photos

of the overall vibe. I could spend hours talking about every single detail, but I won't go into that today. I'll show you guys some like general inspo once I'm done dinner, and then I'm probably gonna get back to some more brainstorming and then maybe some reading.

Hi.

Hello.

Hello.

Oh, oh my God. Is it alive or is it dead? I think it's alive, Yoda! Oh my fucking god. What is with the centipedes? Can you come here and kill it? That is disgusting. Yoda, I'm freaking out, okay? Do you wanna come kill the centipede? He's like, no. First time he's quiet ever. Okay, jump scare, jump scare. How the fuck did it get in there?

That's disgusting. Yoda.

See, I wanna like move something to see if it's alive, but if it is, it's gonna start running around. Ugh, I have to send that to Ryan. I think it's alive and but if it is, it's gonna start running around. Ugh, I have to send that to Ryan.

I think it's alive, and I would like to move it and dispose of it, but if I fucking pick up this cup and it starts moving and crawling, I'm gonna scream. I, okay, look, here's the thing. I'm okay with spiders.

They're fine.

I don't like them, but they're okay. Centipedes are a completely different beast to me. Jesus fucking Christ, jump scare.

Is it alive?

I don't know. Now, since living here, you know, centipedes are a common household creature. And I've learned how to tolerate slash ways of killing them that aren't disgusting. And that's usually with the vacuum, but I am struggling.

Maybe travel with paper and dump it outside. Of course he is someone that is like,

well, let's save it.

Oh yeah, it's definitely alive.

I fucking hate bugs. Yoda, thanks for not helping.

That is one of the sickest bugs.

Fuck. No, not back in the house. It's going back. Do you see that thing?

Do not come back in my house. Now you want to come help?

Come up, I'll give you dinner.

Come on.

Well, that is going immediately in the dishwasher. I really did not like that. If you are somebody that's not bothered by centipedes, you're a different kind of person. And I respect you. 8.17, I have some water boiling

for Ryan's pasta he's making tonight. I've been running around cleaning the house. It was necessary. I had some stuff on my side of the room that needed to be cleaned, so I did that. Ryan should be home momentarily but I just remembered that I totally forgot to show you my inspo because I was very distracted by the

centipede so let me show you some of my ideas. Okay I love the look of this like this for the current you know living room with the fireplace a beautiful little sitting area love the molding love everything about this honestly and then I have a similar photo that I saved this is the exact same layout that's currently there except higher ceilings I love everything about this, honestly. And then I have a similar photo that I saved. This is the exact same layout that's currently there, except higher ceilings. I love everything about it, everything.

So loving that. And then kitchen, we wanna have floor to ceiling windows. This is like the layout of the kitchen that we're gonna go for. You know, wall, island, big windows, opening up to the green space.

What else do I have? I also like the idea of moving the dining room and the living room, swapping them so that we have the sitting area next to the kitchen. I'm not sure yet, we'll see what they think at our meeting. I love the marble fireplace here. I love this stone with the velvet chairs. Entry hallway inspo. Entryway inspo. I love this. I love the checkered tile. I also love the idea of having, you know, a bench at the entryway, walk-in closet with a long mirror. Would love to have a little vanity built into the closet. I think that would be amazing

with my go-to makeup in a drawer. Bathroom inspo, this is very classic. Another one, love, very similar to what I have upstairs, but a little different. A powder room, I'm thinking moody, fun, different. Wallpaper, dining room, basement.

This is kind of scary.

This is the new camera.

We're testing it. Brief pause from showing you photos because my camera arrived and it's wide as shit. This is the same lens I've been using.

Okay, that's zoomed in all the way.

It's a full frame.

I fear this will be the best one yet.

I see the lines on the screen. I see the flickering. We will still figure out how to fix that, but it's definitely better than this. After importing this footage, there is a situation around the edges that we're not liking.

Okay, we fixed the lines. I think it still looks crispy. I think I just need to keep it zoomed in and then the corners are okay. This does not work. I think this works. I think I'm gonna keep this one. I think the low light will be significantly better.

There's a lot of, I can't wait to like learn how to use this camera to the fullest of its capabilities because it's a really nice camera. Before I import this footage, I'm gonna show you the last of the photos. Okay, so this I think would be amazing

under the stairs in the photos. Okay, so this I think would be amazing under the stairs in the basement. Like the stairs already go this way. So I don't know if that's actually possible. I just think it would be really cool. And then big family room in the basement and then a sauna for the basement, of course,

in the bathroom down there. And then thinking laundry upstairs, you know, kind of tucked away, but accessible. And that's it. That's all that I've saved for like, you know, very specifics.

I'm gonna take this and talk to the builders and see what they think. But that's Wednesday. Now, Monday night, we're gonna watch Lost. We're starting season five. It's only taken us a year to get to this point.

So, we're gonna dive in.

Previously on Lost. You and I have common interests. Yoda? What's going on? You want breakfast? Let's go. I'm coming. Sssh.

Meow.

Meow.

Okay, so I'm still on the,

I was doing so much research in last night.

Yoda, come on. You don't need to yell.

I was doing a lot of research on cameras. So right now I'm using the full frame and I'm really torn between deciding if it's worth it to have a full-frame camera, but use a not full-frame lens. The issue with the full-frame lenses is that they're a lot bigger and heavier,

and that is just not conducive for everyday vlogging. Like I know myself, and I know I wouldn't bring it around if I'm like carrying this like big, heavy, full-production camera. But if this still looks really good, then maybe it makes sense. Otherwise, there's the Sony a6700. People that don't care about cameras

are not gonna care about this, but I love this stuff. So I was watching a million videos last night. The a6700 has stabilization, which is pretty good. I mean, that's what I started this vlog with. Maybe I'll switch back halfway through the day so we can see and compare.

Like if there's gonna a majestic kitty in the wild. Yeah, I don't think my original camera's gonna work. Like just comparing the stabilization of that one versus these, like it's just not, it's a totally different world. And obviously stabilization is very important

because I like to walk around and like be expressive.

What are you doing?

You yell for me.

Oh my goodness.

I think you're gonna have a day today, aren't you?

You are a beautiful kitty.

I'm ultimately gonna leave it up to you guys, whatever you think looks best for the vlogs, I'm gonna keep. This is fully zoomed out, and I just wanna see what it looks like. Like if the corners are here during the day too.

This is gonna be a fun experimental kind of rest of the vlog. I also don't know what I'm doing with this yet, so I don't think I'm gonna tackle that this week. I thought I was going to, but I have no idea what I wanna do for it,

so it's best not to bring out the paintbrushes. Yoda's loafing, staring at the basement, waiting for Ryan to get back, it's gonna be a long day. So I am going to make some coffee. I decided to do a test, ignore the mess of the kitchen right now. This is the full frame camera. I've zoomed in a little bit

so that you don't see the little corners. And now I'm gonna switch over to the a6700. This is not full frame. And I'm just curious to see if there's a quality difference, a stability difference. This is cheaper and it's more compatible with this lens. Like it wouldn't have the corners ever.

Anyways, let's switch. Okay, this is the switch. I have this on like the strongest stability mode. You can see it's a little cropped in, but there will never be the corner lack part. I don't know if that's like an annoying thing

or just keep the camera zoomed in. I really don't know. I don't know if you can tell the difference with how stable it is. I don't know if it'll look different at all. I keep forgetting to get my coffee. I'm gonna compare the footage now and see what I think. This is very fun for me, but also stressful because I don't wanna make the wrong choice.

I wanna end up with the best camera that I can have, which in theory is the full frame, but does it make sense? And this is on dynamic stabilization, so it's as cropped as it gets for stabilizing. It doesn't get more stable than this. Here, walk with it, you can see. But that wide, you get the vignetting on the corners. I don't think you can see it here,

it's when I import it. I would have to see it on the import.

Yeah, so I'll send you clips when we get home. No, this is, I like the, yeah, it's not fisheye in, it's just a nice wide, beautiful.

Okay, so I'm gonna just...

Perfect.

It's fucking hot out today. I'm gonna go walk down this way just to see the vibes, how stable she is. We needed some, yeah, we need some real world testing because I couldn't decide at home. So this is the ZVE one going for a walk.

This is just walking down the street. Very casual. This is zoomed out as it gets.

Zoom in.

I feel like that's stable as fuck. We're gonna swap to the A6700. I got my, uh,

interest in cameras from

that guy. And this is the

A6700. You wanna play with it

and see what you think? I'll do the same thing.

It's the jumps for me.

What do you think about the crop? Do you notice it? Yeah, I do though. It's closer.

Yeah, it's a little bit more cropped.

And when I say crop, I just, it's more zoomed.

Yeah. We're gonna do our walk down, see how stable she feels. This is as zoomed out as it gets. So this is this one. What do you think about the quality, the crispness, the lighting? And my dad used to be very passionate about cameras.

Oh, I don't know if you can hear me. I think the mic on this one is worse, just in body mic. All right, well, I guess we'll look at the footage when we get home, but we're gonna go do the circuit.

Oh, I'm worried for myself today.

Two sets instead of three for me today.

My dad's a beast.

He's still doing the third set that we were on.

I'm gonna sit.

It's hot and humid. So a guy came up before you and I thought it was you before I looked up and I yelled, whoa, crushed it, and then I noticed it wasn't you and I was like, perfect. I think he had headphones in so he didn't hear me, but... So my dad loves extremes. He loves extreme heat, extreme cold. So he's actually running now a few kilometers and I just don't work that way, you know? I can do some level of extreme but not like that. Power to the guy, you know?

Never quits.

I'm walking to meet him.

Taking a shortcut at the finish line.

There he is.

He's going all the way around to there. It's only slightly humbling that the 66 year old beats me out every time honestly

mad respect to my dad It's so hot! I was fogged up. Let me see your camera. Oh shit. You're gonna like it too, the flavor, you're gonna die. Okay, I just had my dad drop me off, so I wanted to pick up food before going home,

and of course as soon as we get here it starts to rain, and I'm gonna be walking home, but

you know, it's probably to rain the rest of the afternoon

we're supposed to start later, but it started early.

Anyways, I'm getting it done.

Expect this.

What do we want to eat though? Okay, managed to make it home without getting poured on. From Summerhill, I got chicken breast for tonight. And then this Southwest chicken salad bowl because I felt lazy for lunch and I just wanted something fast and yummy and nutritious.

It has beans, chicken, corn, avocado, pico, cheese, rice. It looks fricking good. So I'm diving in. It was so humid out there, like so gross. I will not be leaving the house again today. I'm gonna have some of this shower and then I wanna film some stuff that's short form.

After my call yesterday, I really, I need to prioritize some short form content. So it's gonna be a pretty focused in afternoon. Pretty standard start to the week over here.

Mm.

I am sweating.

Sweating.

It is so fucking hot.

Disg disgusting outside. I'm sweating in my own home and it's not right. Anyways, I've been filming, it's 3.30 and I just did an Aritzia haul for short form and I figured I would show you guys here as well. I got some early fall things. They came out with their early fall stuff

and I'm like, one, it's always been this time. And they actually sent me these pieces, so I'm super excited. I got some really good staples. Starting with this top, I don't really own anything in this color, and I just thought, you know, this is a fun opportunity, get something a little bit out of my norm. It's still like a basic

that I could see myself wearing a lot. Also, these are the new pillows that I got from Anthropologie. I'll see what Ryan thinks tonight. I don't even know if he'll notice, but I like them. I think it's a fun touch of color, but it's not like, you know, crazy. Then I got this sweater, which is like a little over the shoulder moment.

I think it's really cute. I got a classic Aritzia fleece. This is just the athletic gray. I got small, high hip. I wanted it oversized, It is the perfect fit. I want like all of the colors. And then I got a trench coat. I've been on the hunt for a really good trench

for a long time.

And I just feel like the fit is always off, but I feel like this one's good. It might be a little too oversized, but maybe we like that, especially for like when it gets cooler and I can layer sweaters and stuff underneath.

It's a really good quality one. I'm gonna wear the heck out of it. And then lastly, I got these brown satin pants. I think they're gonna be so fun for like dinners, dinner out, so comfy. Love these. They fit perfect too. Okay, I gotta take this off. There's no world I'm wearing a long sleeve.

That's better.

I'm sweating.

I'm sweating.

I'm gonna film a couple more videos and then I wanted to get back to some brainstorming. I'm like on a really big, I don't know, my brain is everywhere right now, which might come through in this vlog, but I just, I'm processing. I'm in processing mode. There's just so much I want to do,

and I'm like, you know what?

Let's just, let's fucking do it. I'm gonna film for another hour, and then at that all scheduled, ready to go. That was the plan. That was the plan. That was the plan.

That was the plan. That was the plan.

That was the plan. That was the plan. What do you want? Oh yeah, working. Oh, we cuddled now. Go ahead. He's not going to like it.

Yoda discovers rain.

Yeah, maybe we stay inside bro.

You gonna go for it?

So I have the craziest headache right now. And I was like, okay, maybe it's from the heat and everything. So I've been drinking electrolytes. But then I remembered that like sometimes people get headaches when it rains. Honestly, very weird, but it's raining right now.

So I'm like, maybe maybe that's a thing.

Oh, Yoda.

It's so startling sometimes to be so quiet and all of a sudden.

Come on, it's couch time.

Well, bless you.

We're getting back to it.

Not yet, little king.

Not yet.

Okay, soon.

Okay, eight o'clock. I ended up going upstairs because the headache was staying strong and it got worse. And I was like, am I? Well, so I decided to lay down with my computer. But anyways, it's eight o'clock, I'm making dinner now.

We have salad, it's a regular salad, cendol tomatoes, parmesan cheese, and then we're gonna do steamed green beans and chicken, which is in the oven right now.

You got all my microwave potato? Yeah.

And here's dinner tonight. We have chicken, beans, salad, and sweet potato mash. Okay, it is time for PJ's. Dinner was perfect. It was like very simple, but you know, always hits the spot. Now, PJ time, TV time, chill time. So I think I'm just gonna end the vlog here actually. Wrap it up. I don't even know what's happened in this vlog. After the camera came in, I just like, I lost, I lost the plot. But let me know your thoughts in the comments on the cameras. I think we're gonna keep this one, but would still love your opinions, of course. Thank you so much for watching, as always.

Love you so much, and I will see you in the next one.

Muah! Muah!
