work week vlog: protecting my peace, learning a lot about myself getting *vulnerable*
As a Montanan, I totally get what you’re saying about fires. We are in full blown smoke season and it’s devastating every year with the acres burned and the homes lost. I just have to remain myself that obviously the fires are worse now than ever, but fires are a natural part of the cycle and when a spot burns, at least it won’t burn for another several decades at least.
That’s great perspective to have, thank you for sharing 🫶🏻
Is the no AC like a money saving thing? I just cannot imagine.. I would move to another country if I couldn’t have AC😂 What do you think about love island?!?
We just don’t have it installed in our home! Many places don’t in Calgary. It’s good so far haha.
Your doctor was right, you do look GREAT ❤
Thank you 😢 I needed that haha
Ah I love doing slick backs and that sleek stick looks amazing!
I’ll let you know how it is once I use it!
❤ I so look forward to your videos. Thank you for continued authentic content!
Aw, I love making them so I’m so glad you enjoy them 🥹
sorry if youve mentioned this before but why cant you install another ac unit in your living room again?
We could but they don’t work as well cooling down a big space (better for one room).
I can't take heat either. Totally ruins the vibe. Take care 😘💕. Peace 🕊️
It’s brutal!
lol shout out to my house's AC
Hehe
Loved the museum outing! What brand is your blue bag? I know you mentioned it before, but I can’t remember the video. It just looks so comfy and wouldn’t weigh you down Great video Mel 🎉
Thank you!! The bag is Olend 🫶🏻
I wanted to listen to the midnight feast but I've heard people liked it way more reading because the audio can be confusing so I'm forcing myself to buy it. If you haven't checked out the Paris apartment yet though the audiobook of it on Libby (I'm assuming Spotify is the same) is so well done I really enjoyed it
I definitely recommend the physical book instead of the audiobook. It was just weird haha. I read The Paris Apartment and didn’t love it! I liked The Guest List, though.
Awe glad the nephew weekend went well! You are more brave than I 😉 haha. I so get it about skin and just hyper awareness…but remember we are all thinking about ourselves more than anyone else would be. (People likely are not noticing or thinking anything). I’m on low dose accutane permanently, it works well for me. However skin is so…personalized. It’s hard to figure out!
That’s soooo true, thank you for the reminder 🥹
love this! side note where is the black tube top your wearing from/😍
It’s from Aritzia! It’s the contour tube top
15:40 it’s 9.57 or 9.17 😂
lol says it’s so confidently
I can't imagine grocery shopping somewhere where the same items are $1-2+ more just for a better experience. But also Westbrook Walmart sucks! I lived practically next to it and I still wouldn't go there, I always go to heritage gate, the bonus is that everything is down there, superstore, dollarama, costco, ikea, marshalls, michaels I've been boycotting superstore for the past few months because of their inflation & I pretty much only shop at walmart and costco right now. My grocery bill has decreased drastically, but I think it's mostly because I was so used to going to superstore more frequently and just picking up things here and there vs. intentionally going to costco/walmart with a list
It’s definitely a privilege to be able to pick and choose where I shop. It’s tough out there. 😢
cant wait to see where you adventurw too next 🎉
Doing something fun tonight!! 😉
Vey curious about the Celsius and baseline thought. I was just diagnosed ADHD this spring and it’s been a journey, pretty sure I have autism too. I don’t do caffeine though because it makes my heart go weird. If you do seek a diagnosis I hope it goes well 😊
I’m deffs gonna look more into it :)
❤slay
🫶🏻
Come to Toronto if you think that is busy 😅 looks beautiful tho💫
Haha totally
Love the skillet gnocchi also! Sunset vibe is also my favourite Celsius haha. Now that it’s hot, I’ve been liking bigger energy drinks 😋 It has been SO HOT! Looked like a fun week :) I’ve been craving a pool!
Loveeee sunset vibe. What other energy drinks are you loving? 🥰
@@yourinternetbigsis hmm…I like a lot haha. But a couple of my faves are the teal zero sugar monster (I think it’s called ultra fiesta) and Reign Rainbow Sherbet(sorbet?). Reign White Gummy Bear is pretty tasty too :)
Esker is awesome, keep exploring the art scene ❤
Yessss, I plan to! Let me know if you have any recommendations 🫶🏻
@@yourinternetbigsis cSpace has artist galleries, fun building to explore. Also Rotary Park has a monthly rotating summer mini gallery outdoors!
Thank you for this upload hehe 🫶🏻
My pleasure 😇
I struggled with acne from high school til about halfway through college when I finally figured out a routine that worked for me. Then, last March I had surgery and had an ovary removed and since then I have struggled with much worse acne and especially cystic hormonal acne. I talked with my doctor and we decided to switch my birth control to one that is known to help with acne a few months ago and I went to the dermatologist for the first time a few weeks ago. Since making those changes, I have watched my skin slowly clear up and it has been really lovely. It's far from perfect, but I haven't had a major painful cystic pimple on my chin (where my hormonal acne comes through) for almost two weeks which is a huge win. It's really frustrating to be in my mid 20s and still struggling with acne the same way I was when I was 15. So I totally get it.
Thank you for sharing. It’s such a journey!! I’m glad you’ve found something that works for you 🫶🏻
I really enjoyed this video and how honest you were about giving yourself some leeway and not beating yourself up over the times you spent some money. It was smart to not set such strict boundaries and I think this is exactly the way I need to structure my upcoming low buy challenge ❤thanks for the motivation!
So glad you enjoyed it! Highly recommend trying it out.
ok ive been watching your vlogs for a while now and I think it’s time I shared what I learned. For the longest time I, like you, struggled with my skin. Combination skin is the worst!! I would try creams, facewashes, and toners, tried antibiotics, accutan…literally NOTHING was working. So I decided to read up on it and discovered something called face mapping bc I also had a lot of chin breakouts. Turns out, if you have breakouts in that area it means you’re having excessive sugars and dairy! I tried it and I kid you not. I started clearing up! Started drinking lots of water (with lemon for vit c), eating LOTS of veggies. Cut down on sugar and dairy, and to this day have managed to keep them at bay. Oh and wearing little to no makeup helps too! I still get occasional hormonal ones but its nowhere near as bad. Hopefully that helps!
Thanks for the tips!! I’m gonna be honest, I’ve been overdoing it on the sugar and dairy so that’s deffs something I am keen to try out. 🫶🏻
congrats on 2k!!
Thank you! I’m so happy!
Have you ever considered low dose accutane? It is really a miracle drug and low dose means the symptoms are way less but just as effective.
Definitely have considered it!
Toddlerhood is chaos lol
No, you parents are SUPERHEROES!!!
I love your vlogs. Peace 🕊️
Thank you 😍🫶🏻
I think it's pronounced "skeer". PS I have been loving your vlogs! I am going back to watch ones before I found you (found you thanks to Carter Sullivan)!
Thanks for the hot tip! Yay, thanks for being here!
You look really nice in all your outfits! Have fun with your nephew! :)
Thank you so much 🫶🏻
OMG I'm having literally such a hard few mental health days and was so happy to watch your vlog because they're my comfort content and then the shout out!!!! You made my day😭🩷 sounds weird to say but ilu2 lmao
Internet friends are real friends!!!! 🫶🏻 I hope you feel better soon. I totally feel you on the mental roller coaster. 🥹
Just found your channel, this video was great!! I live in Miami and it’s literally so hot here, I turn on the car and just sit lol 😅
Omg welcome! 🤗 hahaha I can’t imagine!
I'd be investing in a window AC asap. I can't stand to sleep in heat. Also, you should have bought the black dress you tried on. It was so flattering and lovely. Peace 🕊️
It’s so worth it! Oh thank you, I might still get it. ☺️
Loved Orange Julius too! Nice treat for this heat.
Absolutely!
Having a hard day mentally, glad to just disconnect and watch you. ❤
Sorry to hear. I hope you feel better soon!
I’m glad you had a great trip! I assume you meant rosemary cream cheese and not bagel? Haha. We’ve done a couple little day trips to Canmore and quite enjoy :) last summer we went to a lake nearby and then went for a little walk around Canmore.
It was actually a rosemary salt bagel 🥯 so tasty! Canmore is the best.
@@yourinternetbigsis wait wait wait. So you had a bagel on top of another bagel? Haha. I don’t get it!
I used to love going for the rides at stampede. But it’s way too busy, way too expensive (plus this week - way too hot)!
Girl same!
Bravo!!! 🎉
Thank you 😊
You did amazing! Also you ran the Turkey Trot in cool weather at sea level (you live and trained in Calgary which has a slight altitude benefit) and this race in hot weather - makes a huge difference. Well done!!
Thank you so much. You’re so right! I thought about that too. As a new runner, still learning the different variables ya know??
You gotta pay to stop and use the bathroom in this town
?????
Running inspiration!! Can you link the alo shorts you love?
Just linked! Looks like they are on sale too 😍
Omg you did so well! So proud of you for even doing it, let alone doing it in an hour and 5 minutes 🤍 that’s an achievement still! You keep on slaying babes! 🎉
Thank you so much. I am proud and happy I did it!!!! 🏃🏻♀️
You did Great!😀
Thank you 🥹
Congratulations!
Thank you!
WTG Mel!!!!! I'm so proud of you!! What an accomplishment! What is stampede? Peace 🕊️
The Calgary Stampede is a 10 day rodeo & festival in the city. Thank you 🤠
So many amazing Canmore mems with you 💕💕 And honestly the mountain vlogs are soo relaxing and peaceful
The nostalgia is sooo real 😢🏔️
