Week in my life IN THE CITY! cute kitchen decor, boat party & trying new spots!

Okay, here is my outfit.Definitely still a work in progress, but an improvement, I think.I want to get like a cuter jar here for my pods, but that's what we got for now.What a nice sneaky slim little toaster.Yeah, it's feeling a little better to me.Yesterday was like a deep editing day, but I did get my new toaster, which is so awesome.

So nice, it cleared up so much space here.

I feel like this looks better.It's not perfect yet, but it's an improvement.

And we're using her for the first time.I'm running really behind right now.

I can't help but leave everything to the last minute.She could be a little more toasted, but I didn't know what the settings were gonna be.Anyways, now I know.

Egg whites and cheese on a piece of toast.I have four minutes.That's actually not so bad.Time management has never been my strong suit.Anyways, welcome to a weekend.my life.

We got some stuff happening this...I was gonna say, we have some stuff happening this week, as if I don't say that every week.I feel like every week there's something going on.Today, we got some weird stuff, but I got my workout first, and then we got a weird thing this evening.Okay, I gotta scarf this down, and then I gotta go.I usually don't like eating this close to a workout, but I'm starving, and I probably should've eaten an hour ago, but I was distracted by other things.

ADHD.I've got some groceries.I'm going to do a little one meal, one meal this afternoon.My parents were eating this like yummy looking chicken chili when I was on FaceTime with them last night.And then I decided I needed to have chicken chili.So I'm going to make some this afternoon, which feels very random for like summer, but it sounds so delicious and like warm and cozy.

So I said, fuck it.Chicken chili.Oh, that class was absolutely brutal.Brutal.And I know it wasn't from eating so close to my class because I was looking around and everyone was dying, which made me feel better that it wasn't like just me.But man.

Anyway, so while I was at Farmory, I also saw these garden fresh pickles.

And I love a pickle.The woman checking me out was like, these pickles are phenomenal and they're seasonal.So I'm pretty excited to see what the hype is about.I'm just gonna have a plate from breakfast.Oh my God.it's so juicy.

They're sweeter than I usually go for, like I love a full sour pickle, but these are so really good.

Okay, I am going to shower.I gotta wash my hair, obviously.

And then I got some work to do, so I will come back when I am making a chili.

I'll see you in a bit.

Well, so much for the chicken chili.It's now 6 30.I did my hair, which I haven't blown it out.in a while i've just been curling it i think this looks so clean and i'm pretty stoked about that i woke up this morning and i was like my hair is not doing it for me things are not working i'm trying to air dry it so that my hair is healthy but then i'm like It's not looking great.

So I blew it out when it was almost dry.And I feel like I gotta get back into the habit of doing that.I am dressed.

I'm ready to go.I'm meeting my mom for a show tonight.We're going to a play, but this is no ordinary play.This is not like a cutie little musical we're sitting down for.And I can't believe I'm doing this.I'm doing this purely for my mother because my mother loves horror, the genre of scary things.

It's my mom, my entire life.She's always loved like a horror movie, just anything scary.Anyways, there's a show.It's Paranormal Activity.The musical?

I hope it's not a musical, actually, because that would just make me laugh.

Wait, there's no way it's a musical, right?

No, it just says Paranormal Activity.

New live story on stage.I'm scared.So it should be very interesting.I really don't know what we're in for.If I'm gonna have nightmares.The only reason why I was like, okay, I can do this is because I live in a building now.

If I lived In my house, no world, no world.But I feel very safe here.So yeah, I don't think the ghosts are gonna come for me in this new building.And if they do, I'm just gonna believe it's new building, you know, weird sounds.I'm very scared of ghosts.Okay, but we're gonna go.

And I don't have time to make my chicken chili.So I'm gonna make it tomorrow, tomorrow night.And in the meantime, I'm gonna have, this is some Japanese sweet potatoes yesterday.I've got the rest of this chicken breast.and some broccoli and a pickle.These are exceptionally juicy.

Is this not the most exciting dinner you've ever seen?Yep, I know.It's very exciting.Here's my outfit of the night.I can't tell if it's giving like too corporate.I don't know, but I kind of like it.

Like I like the top, I like the little puff sleeves.This is from Revolve.I think the brand is more to come.I'll link it down below.And then my jeans are AG, so comfy.And then I'm just gonna bring this little cardigan.

I'm cold in the theater, thinking green bag.Yeah, cute.God, I'm so scared.A night that leaves you spellbound.

Are you excited?Yeah!It's a great bag, you're finally here!I thought we had to be a little bit further back.Yeah, but remember I made a mistake with the tickets?Yes, you did.

And then I can't remember why I ended up with these, but I'm just gonna show you where we are, okay?

For the ultimate jump scare experience.

Yeah, we are one row back.The ghosts are gonna get you.No, mom, it's not funny.I live alone, you know.Yeah, but you're in a building.You're in a brand new building.

That's what I said to my vlog.I was like, very worst case, I can convince myself it's like new buildings out.Yeah, but do you ever hear of fountains at night?Sometimes.Really?Yeah, like freaks.

But it's not ghosties.Ghosties don't live downtown.And you have neighbors down in the hallway.You can knock on their door if you're bored.scared.Bring I'm scared!

Or a neighbor boy.No, we don't talk to neighbors.Yeah, he messaged me on Instagram yesterday.I just liked it.What did he say?He said sick shot.

It's a picture of Eiffel Tower.Eiffel Tower?Santa.Hey!

What do you mean?Tell me.

It was very scary, lots of jump scares.

Yeah, a lot of jump scares.What's a jump scare?Well, you know, like loud noises when it's quiet and you jump.What's a jump scare?But it was funny also.

It was funny.Oh, so it was like a...

I wouldn't say comedy.There were things that would, you know, fall down or...Blankets getting pulled off of people, you know, the usual suspects.It was a very interesting story and there were only four characters in the whole thing and two of them were like the main characters and they carried the show the whole entire time.

It was insane, like how did they remember that that amount of scriptage?I know.For two hours?Yeah.

Was it based off a true story?

No.No.It was really, it was better than I expected and I didn't know what to expect.Tara was very nervous.

I was very nervous.Nervous about getting old scared?

Yeah.There's lots of loud sounds and spooky.In the beginning, when you're sitting there, like right, right, right at the beginning, they just shut the lights off and you're in pitch black.And then there's like this blaring music and then this creepy voice.Yeah.

You know, I would be lying if I told you I wasn't even a little bit spooked at the moment.

I'm a little spooked, but it's fine.It's fine.I'm going to be fine.I'm just gonna go read my silly romance in bed and call it a night.

I like this top.I can't wait to see it.

I like this better.Today's a very exciting day.

Today is Sarah Jenkins' 30th birthday.She has finally hit the 30s, just a year behind me.No rush.She enters the best decade yet.I'm thrilled that I get to take her out for lunch for her birthday.I would have loved nothing more than to do a surprise trip that she did for my 30th.

Unfortunately, that girl is booked and busy.I don't think she has a free weekend.I think she told me until like the end of August.And the thought of trying to plan a trip, a surprise trip for that girl, who has a million things going on at once, just felt like an impossible task.

So instead, I bought her something she could take on her next trip.

Anyways, I also think it'd be funny to show up with a very regular bag and then have her unbox a bag.The real bag.Also, I don't know about you, but I always save, like, stuffing from other gifts.May as well reuse.I'm meeting her in Yorkville because she had a hair appointment.So I'm meeting her there and then we're gonna go to Casimoto, which is so good.

Um, we got her card, got her a birthday crown that she's gonna have to wear at lunch, and we are heading out.

Who's this from?Oh, that's gonna make it so embarrassing.

but you literally have to do it.Oh, it looks really cute.

Oh, this is so pretty.Wait, that's gorgeous.It's fine, literally fine.No, no, it's not crazy.You mentioned it once to me, that you can stamp it in all the places.Blow it again.

You just said Marscapone?Cheers.Not too much.

I actually like it a lot.It's almost like whipped cream -y.Yeah, like whipped cream.It's like whipped cream.Yeah.Soft and delicious.

It's not heavy.

Thank god.

Yeah.

We're gonna have to go walk this meal off.

I don't think we have any room left in us.

No.Once I've recovered from my choking incident.Should we tell the people?So we already experienced someone choking and was dying for the first time today, and that person was me. on her 30th birthday.And I got lodged in my throat, and I looked at Tara, and I had like, I was coughing still, but you know when you're like, it's like, it was my airway was closing.And then I told Tara, she just slapped me on the back.

And she didn't know what to do.And I was like, is she joking?Like, I'm gonna fucking hit her on the back.No, she just slapped me, and I was coughing a lot.

And then no one helped.Everyone just stared at me.Yeah, nobody, nobody came up or did like, are you okay?

Anyways, fully, that was the closest I've been choking to death in my life.

It was, I'm not gonna lie, one of the scariest things.I was like, I couldn't tell if you were joking, because you were smiling too.

No, no.So I was like, Is she, is this a joke?Is she good?No, I had like a little airway and then it moved and then I was fine, then I could breathe again.So the Brussels sprouts were in a lot of shots.Once I could take a full breath, I was like, okay, we're good.

That took a long time.Yeah, that was like a solid 30 seconds.

Or more.

That was the longest 30 seconds of my life.I think it was only 30 seconds, but I think it was, yeah.Anyways, near -death experience.Happy 30th birthday!Died choking on a brussel sprout, which is really embarrassing.At Casamodo in Yorkville.

That would've been an embarrassing way to go out.But anyways, we lived to tell the tale.That was a really scary experience.That was the next, no, we're good.

So after that we were like, another lychee martini, thank you so much.

And then we're just gonna eat slow.Yeah, we ate slow, it's been...No talking while you eat.Don't talk when you eat.

Now the rest of our afternoon, we're gonna go bop around.

Pop, pop, pop.

See what Sarah can buy for her birthday.

Oh, I did already buy myself this.

Oh yeah, it's a beautiful bag.I bought this in Paris.Oh, amazing.Stunning.She's actually perfect.

I was gonna buy myself this, and I bought it at the airport.And so you can buy something else today.That's true, that's the rule.

We'll see.Should be fun.I just got her other things in there.

Sky's out there now, highly blue.It was downpouring all morning.I mean, it's, It's still morning, it's 1130.It's gonna be a weird weather day, I think.But it's been two days since I started fixating on the chicken chili, and I've yet to have it.So it's finally time to make the chicken chili.

We are gonna, all of our ingredients, we got two bell peppers, white onion, garlic, I think I'm gonna use like three or four cloves, and then a jalapeno for some heat.We're gonna start with that.peppers, one onion, one jalapeno, and then two very large cloves of garlic, and then two small ones.Honestly, this is so satisfying to me.

Just the colors of it, so nice.Okay, so we have oil and pot, medium heat.

In goes the veggies.These are so pretty.Okay, I'm just gonna let these get a little softer, and then I'm gonna throw in the garlic.Honestly, it's pretty easy from this point.Garlic.I think ground chicken looks fucking gross, but she's in there.

All right, we're gonna let this cook.I'm gonna fuck around with it.I don't think anyone wants to look at this right now.I certainly don't.Okay, it looks better now that it's cooked, but I don't know if it's ever gonna look that good.But now we're gonna add in two tablespoons of tomato paste.

Can of diced tomatoes.Beans.I have this turmeric ginger chicken bone broth I'm gonna put in instead of just chicken broth.I'm gonna put all this in.Probably just need half, but we're gonna make it soupy and I like to have leftovers.I think, now it's just seasoning.

Two tablespoons of chili powder, one -ish, two -ish, tablespoon of cumin -ish, and then a tablespoon of smoked paprika.

It's certainly smelling like chili.

Okay, I'm gonna bring this to a boil, and then we're gonna let it simmer, thicken for like 15 minutes.And in the meantime, I'm gonna get myself ready because I have plans with my friend, Sarah Dunk.This afternoon, we're going to the Matcha Tokyo on Ossington, which I'm so excited about.I've really wanted to try it.It's this new matcha spot that is like from Tokyo.So the matcha is supposed to be really amazing.

So we're gonna go there.And then she said like one of her favorite vintage shops is doing a pop -up.So should be a fun afternoon, but I do have to get ready because I have to leave in like, 45 minutes, which is kind of perfect timing.So I'm gonna get ready and then be right back.Okay, we're ready with tons of time to spare.

And I think I'm gonna have a bowl of chili.

I just can't wait any longer for it to thicken.I don't care.Here's how she's looking.We got lots of chili, so hopefully it's good.I also sometimes like to just add salt and pepper on my individual bowls instead of like putting it all in here.Now all that's left is to try it and hope it is the craving that I was having the last couple of days.

Okay, I've tried it.It's actually quite good.

I also really like the greek yogurt on top for like a creamy factor, but it's good and like the clouds have rolled back in Definitely gonna bring an umbrella out for the afternoon.So it kind of feels right.It's like a warm hug.It's quite good Oh, I feel like it's hard to mess up chili like you've been throwing a lot of things I think I kind of wish I put zucchini in but it's satisfying success Strawberry matcha and then the coconut matcha, which is just coconut water coconut matcha Very strong?

No it's really good.Like it reminds me kind of of like green tea ice cream back in the day.Oh!Flavor is there.Unexpected.I did, and like sweeter than I thought, but in a good way.

I would have thought it would be very strong matcha.It's so green.

It is, but it's like, it's pretty good.

This was the recommended drink, so I don't know how Sarah approved.

Okay, strawberry matcha.I feel like you can't go wrong with this.No.Okay, very like, Not artificial strawberry tasting.

Okay.This is strawberry with strawberries.I feel like that's how you know.

Yeah.

It feels like real strawberries.It's good matcha.Yeah, it's good.I think it's delicious actually.I just felt like a big, it tastes like jam.Like actual strawberry jam.

It's got like that like dark like jammy color.Yeah.It's like syrup.Really good.This is like a genuinely good matcha.Yeah.

Okay.Well, approved.

What is it?

What's happening?Why are you laughing?Okay, thank you for speaking.Silent time here.You guys go to the game?

I was thinking this morning as I'm cleaning, I always liked the idea of being like a closing shift girl and like doing the tiny before going to bed.Like I love to wake up and my place is like perfectly spotless.I like walk out of my room and it's glowing in here and everything is so clean and sparkly and beautiful.I love that feeling, but I don't know if I'm ever going to be the person that cleans before bed.Like when I'm ready for bed, all I want is to climb in and feel cozy.You know, like that's my happy place.

So it's like, could I, I'm just gonna do the five minute clean, 10 minute clean, yes.But I find that I just end up doing it in the morning and I really like starting my day cleaning, which is weird to say, but like it makes me feel productive just like coming out here and like doing the clean that I didn't do.And it's like so bright and like it's motivating, you know?So I fear, you know, maybe I need to stop fighting my honest self and just accept that I'm a morning shift girl.You know, we all have our strengths.we have arrived.

It's been a good week.Yesterday was really fun with Sarah.We just like yapped and yapped through the afternoon.And we went and sat in Trinity Bellwoods and just like sat in the park talking.And then these two guys came up and they were from England.Cause right now like so many people are coming to Toronto for the world cup.

So there's people everywhere.And it was just like so funny talking to these sweet, youthful, young men.They happened to think we were a lot younger than we were because they were a lot younger than we were.They asked how old we were and I said guess and they guessed 21.They said max 23 and we were just giggling and it turns out they were 21 and 19.So we still talked to them like they were very nice and it kind of gave me hope for the younger generation you know which is weird for me to say for like a 21 year old but like you know what I'm saying.

It gave me hope like they were just like wholesome sweet boys.I don't know.We gave them some racks, sent them on their way and go back to yapping.It was like a perfect afternoon.And now today, today is Sarah's birthday party.So obviously we celebrated on her actual birthday, but today is the boat birthday.

She's been talking about this for a year, maybe even more.Like this was always kind of her plan because her birthday is in June.It's like peak timing for a boat.So she has invited like 150 people to come on said boat today.I can't even fathom having that many people to invite to my individual party, but it's going to be so fun.So before that, I just have my workout.

I'm going to try and get some sun because it's been, you know, raining the last, like, I don't know, I almost want to say week.And I would like to get a little extra UV on my skin before my trip next week, actually a week today.Got my workout, got to get some work done, which I'm going to do before my workout.And then we're going to go to the boat.It's going to be a fabulous Friday.

Strong body on there.

Kind of crazy to watch like your abs pop out at the end of a workout.I'm like, oh, hello.

Also the lighting in there is good.So I don't know what's part of that.

Oh my God, okay.I am having an early lunch.I'm really just craving a nice warm bowl of chili.And then instead of showering now, I'm actually gonna go to the pool.Figure while I'm sweaty, may as well get a bit of a tan.Also, I have so much of this.

So I'm really glad that it's good.This has got all the healthy protein and fiber and yumminess, honestly.Chili, chili's good at all.I'm probably gonna have another bowl of this, honestly.Actually, I'm probably gonna have this for dinner.I have a lot of chili to go through here, so this is what I'm gonna be eating for the next few days, exclusively.

All right, she's been heated up.Salt in there, and then even more protein with the Greek yogurt, but I just do this because I think it tastes good.Like, I like the creamy factor, you know?So it's really a win -win.Just, actually, I'm gonna have to have something carby for dinner.I'm just now thinking through my day.

Obviously, it's a boozy boat birthday, you know, so I gotta go in prepared.Um, but I'm going to the boat early to help Sarah film some stuff.You know what?It doesn't really matter.No one needs to know my thought process right now.But here's lunch.

Mix her all up.Mmm.Eat this and then go to the pool.It's crazy good actually.

It was perfect until the downpour.

I was up there with a couple other girls and as soon as it starteddrizzling, I was looking around and you could see them also deciding, do we go, do we stay, do we see if it gets better?And then it just started coming down fast and it was like, booked it.Anyways, that's my cue to shower and get some work done for the afternoon.Do a little work on this Friday and then get ready for later.Looks like the rain stopped, of course.

20 p .m.And I'm in the middle getting ready.But while I was doing that, I was also making myself some food and I figured pasta was a safe bet tonight, you know?Fuel up with all the yummy carbs.A little rosé sauce.

I threw in some broccoli and I'm going over to the boat in like half an hour.So I just have to like get dressed, fix my hair a little bit and then go.Rosé sauce hits.Every time.Tonight's gonna be so much fun.It's gonna be the best.

Like, there's just nothing better than a boat.And the skies are blue.It's looking like sun ahead for the rest of the evening, which feels right, you know?Okay, here is my outfit.Honestly, better without the denim jacket, obviously, but it's a little chillier.And I know on the boat, it's gonna be a little cold.

So I'm going for function and I wanna be hands -free.So I'm bringing my little crossbody and we're gonna go.

How cute is this?All the balloons, so good.

at midnight.I got tonight so fun.It just went by so fast, but I definitely didn't eat enough.Like I'm glad I had my pasta.There was some good snacks in the boat, but I feel like, feels right right now.

Soup dumplings.

Feels right.I gotta get in my PJs.I'm gonna load this up.I am so happy.

PJ's on.

Honestly, my throat kind of hurts from screaming on the boat.The playlist was perfection.There was like ABBA.There was just like all these old classics that you just want to scream at the top of your lungs.It was so fun.And like so many great people on the boat.

It's kind of fun getting to see Sarah and all her different groups from all these different eras of her life all come together for her 30th birthday.Great, great night.Great week.And I'm home at a nice hour.So I don't have to feel terrible tomorrow.And I'm going to have soup dumplings.

in six seconds.That's pretty exciting to me. I'm gonna let them cool.This is everything and more to me.We got soy sauce, kewpie mayo, chili crisp, bulldog sauce, and this is like heaven to me. I'm not drunk, but I'm not sober, you know?So I feel like this is the perfect meal to get some sober.in the system and just to get a little joy to end my day.

Which one should I eat first?Like, oh, ooh, some of these are cold.I've always had a microwave that like opens from the front, not like you click a button and then it opens.And it doesn't microwave the same way.Like this is definitely a cold dumpling, but cheers.It still hits.

There's a lot of Bulldog sauce on there.It's pretty spicy.Wow.What a time.Anyways, guys.I'm gonna wrap it up here so I can get into bed after I eat my delicious dumplings.

And I guess I'll see you in the next vlog.Thanks for hanging out this week.We'll see you later.
