Hey my loves — in this weekly vlog I’m taking you along with me through a very real, very busy stretch where I’m trying to keep the momentum going with vlogging while also dealing with life. I start off at home packing, doing laundry, and sharing a little PR unboxing (plus a few thoughts, because you know I’m always going to be honest). I also talk about my new mic, how I’m figuring out what works for sit-down videos vs. vlogging, and what’s been going on with me mentally while still trying to stick to my routines. From there it’s travel mode: I overnight in Miami (and yes, American Airlines gave me hell at first, but the right person helped and it reminded me it’s really who you meet in customer service). I do a quick mall run, keep things a bit private because I’m buying gifts, and then head to Antigua to surprise my mom. After some family time (including MJ’s birthday), I end up taking an impromptu quick trip to St. Kitts, and when I’m back home, it’s time to finally put up my Christmas tree — real tree, always. It’s cozy, it’s chaotic, it’s intentional living in real life.
