-
- The ambulance came.
-
I was taken off to the emergency room.
-
- Amanda, are you doing this to me?
-
- Oh?
-
Natalie, ow do you do this every morning?
-
- Amanda, I tried to
do you, but I couldn't.
-
(chill music)
-
- Hi guys.
-
Okay. What's you're
about to see is probably
-
one of the most chaotic
vlogs that I've ever made.
-
I didn't know whether I was
going to talk about this
-
in a video or not, or if I was
just going to brush past it
-
but a lot has happened in
the past couple of weeks.
-
Initially, it was supposed to be a collab
-
with NataliesOutlet, but as you'll see
-
things got a little bit derailed
-
and I could have refilmed a lot of things
-
but I was like, you know what?
-
I'm not going to fake it.
-
I got to stay true to my
real life and what happened.
-
And I thought it might be
entertaining for you guys anyways.
-
So yeah, here's that video.
-
Me and Natalie decided to
switch routines for a day.
-
And then this is what happened.
-
- So I wake up around
8:00 AM, let my body rest.
-
It's good for me.
-
I usually, I have a little
-
like cuddle session with
Jupiter in the morning.
-
And with Dennis.
-
Jump out of bed in my Rilakkuma slippers.
-
- Good morning, everyone.
-
It is a bit past 8:00 AM.
-
It felt really nice to sleep in
-
because I don't normally
let myself do that.
-
Oh, also by the way, I dyed my hair
-
in the time that we filmed
that Zoom call and now,
-
so that's why my hair is
black and not brown anymore.
-
I really had to fight off the initial urge
-
when I woke up in the morning
to not just mindlessly scroll
-
through social media on my phone
-
because that was one of
Natalie's first rules.
-
So I'm trying to follow that.
-
Unfortunately, I do not have a
dog to cuddle in the morning.
-
Let me see what I can find instead.
-
Okay. I have this plushy
-
that a viewer gave to me at a meetup once.
-
So I will be cuddling this instead.
-
Natalie to jump into some slippers.
-
So I have my Pusheen slippers,
-
aren't they cute?
-
- The first thing I do in
the morning is I hydrate.
-
Sometimes I get a little fancy
-
and add a little apple cider vinegar.
-
- I hope it doesn't taste bad.
-
Oh no.
-
It already smells intense.
-
(spoon clinking)
-
Bottoms up.
-
Cheers.
-
Okay.
-
Oh.
-
Oh...
-
It wasn't as bad as I
thought off the first sip.
-
Oh...
-
Okay, nevermind.
-
It's very vinegary.
-
Natalie, how do you do this every morning?
-
Okay, I'm gonna have to add
some more water to that.
-
Ooh.
-
It definitely wakes you
up, I will say that.
-
Drink the rest
-
of this and then get the
rest of my day started.
-
My routine has been waking
up at 6:30, so it's a little-
-
- [Natalie] Oh my god, that's amazing.
-
- 6:30 to 8:00 I'm like on my phone.
-
I'll have coffee, breakfast.
-
I always take vitamins.
-
I'm a big vitamin person in
terms of energy and stuff.
-
Because you know, take care
of your health everyone,
-
but that's really important to me.
-
So that's kind of my morning block.
-
- Good morning.
-
It's six in the morning.
-
Jupiter just woke up, he's
like, what's going on?
-
I'm waking up at Amanda's time. Help.
-
Even Dennis is sleeping.
-
It be too early.
-
My dog is ready to get his day started.
-
I'm not.
-
Amanda, why are you doing this to me?
-
Look at that sleepy face.
-
Enjoying the morning calmness.
-
Yeah!
-
I feel like if my neighbors
see me, they're like,
-
"What the hell is going on?"
-
You know?
-
It's so early Natalie.
-
He's enjoying this.
-
Okay.
-
Listen guys, it doesn't look pretty
-
but all that matters is what's
on the inside, nutrition.
-
So then usually in the morning,
Dennis is cooking breakfast
-
putting myself in like a good mindset.
-
And Jupiter's outside
somewhere rolling on the grass.
-
That's usually how it goes.
-
And it's like my little morning time,
-
we put morning cartoons,
which is the best.
-
- Since Natalie said
-
that she's been watching
morning cartoons with Dennis.
-
I think it's so fun because I used to grow
-
up watching morning cartoons
every day before I went
-
off to school, I remember
the exact time slot.
-
It was always Pokemon right before school
-
but then I would never
get to finish the episode.
-
So doing this really takes
me back to my childhood.
-
So I put on some old
Totally Spies episodes.
-
If anyone remembers
that show, they actually
-
have full episodes of
Totally Spies on YouTube
-
so I have definitely been
binge-watching a couple.
-
My favorite was definitely Alex,
-
I was an Alex girl.
-
I feel like, depending on
who your favorite spy was
-
it was like a personality test.
-
If it was like Clover, Sam, or Alex.
-
So let me know which spy
-
from Totally Spies was your favorite
-
but I will just be watching
this episode for the morning.
-
I feel so relaxed.
-
I feel like it's the weekend
-
because I woke up later and
now I'm watching cartoons.
-
It's kind of great.
-
You know, the beginning of the morning
-
I'm still kind of getting
in the groove of things.
-
For me, even if I'm not going anywhere
-
I need to like change out of my pajamas.
-
I need to get ready.
-
Even doing like a tiny bit
of makeup or like, you know
-
even if you're not going out
-
it really helps me like separate my day.
-
I know a lot of people are
working at home from now.
-
- [Natalie] Me too.
-
It gets you ready.
-
- Because I, at the beginning, you know,
-
when you work from home, you're like,
-
"Oh, this is a blessing.
-
I can stay in my pajamas.
-
I can work."
-
- [Natalie] As I'm in my PJs.
-
These are my fake PJs.
-
- Those are your fancy PJs.
-
- [Natalie] Exactly.
-
- But yeah.
-
It really, really helps
-
because it's almost like
you're separating your day.
-
You know, this is work mode.
-
You're like finally in
the office, you know,
-
in your look.
-
So I do that.
-
And then this is also
when I'll do some like
-
planner bullet journal
stuff to plan for the day.
-
Also, this is around like
the 9 to 10, 11:00 AM block.
-
This is when I'll start
doing any like computer work.
-
So emails, you know the
deal, meetings, laptop work.
-
So that's kind of like my
morning block is really
-
just the bullet journal, computer.
-
- That's a good way to start.
-
Actually ready for my day.
-
Dah, dah, dah, dah!
-
Of course.
-
Got to keep the slippers,
we're working from home
-
did a little light makeup.
-
Let's do it.
-
So for me, usually after breakfast
-
I hop in the shower, get ready for my day.
-
Same like you, but usually
it's more makeup-less.
-
I, you know, I don't know
-
I've just been really
enjoying a fresh face.
-
- I'm probably not going to
wear too much makeup today
-
because Natalie said she
likes to let her skin breathe.
-
A lot of you guys ask me
about my skincare routine.
-
So let me know if you want
me to show you guys that
-
in a separate video,
because your girl has been
-
through the ringer with skincare.
-
I have even done Accutane.
-
So trust me when I tell
you I know the struggle,
-
but I feel like I finally gotten it down.
-
My skin has been looking
a lot better lately.
-
Don't forget your sunscreen, everyone.
-
Even if it's not sunny outside,
like today, it's so cloudy.
-
Okay.
-
So I'm on my walk, granted,
it's probably not as nice
-
of a walk as Natalie because
I live downtown Toronto
-
so you kind of just always hear
this constant hum of traffic
-
and construction.
-
This kind of nice and different for me.
-
Usually I go for my walks in the afternoon
-
or the evening after work.
-
So it's nice to start off my
day with some nice fresh air.
-
There's people around though
-
so I still get embarrassed
vlogging in public.
-
After eight years of being on YouTube.
-
Look at how pretty these trees are.
-
(chill music)
-
Around like 12:00 PM, I usually eat lunch.
-
And I'm the worst with cooking.
-
You'll discover this throughout the day
-
but lunch I'm usually I'll
either Uber Eats something
-
or it'll just be leftovers.
-
- My pizza burnt.
-
Maybe I should have ordered food, Amanda,
-
I didn't follow your advice.
-
Ah, what the hell!
-
It's still good, I ain't gonna waste this.
-
(knocking)
-
(crunching)
-
That's good, it's good.
-
- I just got a call from my parents.
-
So both of us,
-
my parents postal code and my
postal codes, we're currently
-
in hot spot areas in
Toronto for the virus.
-
So our government has been
very weird with vaccines.
-
It's been slow, but
because we're in hotspots
-
they've been prioritizing those hotspots
-
for vaccine clinics.
-
And apparently I might be able
to get a vaccination today.
-
I'm so excited.
-
Oh my God, it feels so weird.
-
I know how it feels to
see all of these people
-
on social media get their
vaccinations and not have it.
-
So if you're also waiting for a vaccine
-
my heart goes out to you.
-
It's definitely rough around the world
-
but if I get mine today,
I think I might cry
-
because that would just
be, I dunno, it's been a
-
it's been a long year
for everyone, you know?
-
So wow.
-
This video took a turn.
-
Guys I got it!
-
Success. It's just a
little bit of reassurance.
-
I know it's only one dose
-
and also we still need to be careful
-
for the sake of others,
but just having it.
-
It feels very nice.
-
Very nice.
-
I don't even know what to do now.
-
Well...
-
Yeah, so I think the last
time I spoke to you guys
-
I was doing the morning
portion of Natalie's routine.
-
A lot happened after that a lot, a lot.
-
So I got my vaccine, which is great.
-
Pfizer, amazing.
-
(clapping)
-
We love to see it.
-
And for dinner that day
-
me and my family were like, you know what?
-
This is cause for celebration,
-
we got fried chicken for dinner.
-
I eat my first bite of fried chicken.
-
And immediately I knew something was off.
-
If you guys don't know,
-
I'm allergic to peanuts,
nuts, fish and shellfish.
-
I felt started to feel
very nauseous, which is one
-
of the earlier signs that
I know when I'm having
-
like an allergic reaction.
-
I'm deathly allergic, by the way, guys.
-
Not just like, "Oh, I'm intolerant."
-
No, like I have an EpiPen.
-
As soon as I ate that,
-
I was like, oh, this is not
good, but I could still breathe.
-
Everything was okay and weird.
-
I took some Benadryl hoping
-
that it would be okay,
obviously was not okay.
-
Eventually we had to
use my EpiPen, which is
-
like this needle that you
have to jab in your thigh
-
in order for it to like open
up your airways and everything.
-
The ambulance came.
-
I was taken off to the emergency room.
-
Luckily everyone at
the hospital was great.
-
Amazing, got put on an IV
-
with Benadryl and like
fluids and everything.
-
And I ended up being okay.
-
I was at the hospital for like,
-
I want to say four, four hours, ish.
-
I go home at 1:00 AM, I think.
-
This is what happens when you try to
-
follow someone else's routine,
-
you end up in the hospital,
no, I'm just joking.
-
But I guess it does go to show you
-
that sometimes you can't plan everything
-
no matter how much you try.
-
I literally had a step-by-step
routine that I had to follow
-
but life, life threw me something else.
-
Shout out to the hospital staff,
-
honestly all healthcare workers right now,
-
I saw firsthand how busy the ER was.
-
Obviously with everything going on.
-
And I was like, "Wow, this is insane."
-
Only I would get taken
-
to the emergency room
because of fried chicken.
-
Like it's not even a cool story, man.
-
You guys might be confused
-
like why fried chicken
gave me like a reaction.
-
I think it was fried in peanut oil.
-
And that's also why
it's really hard living
-
with food allergies
because sometimes it's not
-
extremely evident that a
particular food has that in it.
-
Like peanut oil is hidden.
-
You would not be able to see peanut oil.
-
You wouldn't be able to tell.
-
You're just always kind
of constantly afraid
-
of dying whenever you eat food.
-
It's tough, but what are you going to do?
-
Even though things didn't go to plan
-
the first time I tried the routine,
-
I still gotta finish what I started.
-
So I'm going to do the rest
of Natalie's routine today.
-
And hopefully it does not result
-
in any more trips to the hospital.
-
The last time I checked in
-
it was supposed to be
lunchtime for Natalie.
-
Natalie said she likes to
take an hour to eat lunch
-
and watch Shark Tank.
-
So I'll probably just watch something
-
and then get on with
the rest of my workday
-
which is the main chunk of stuff.
-
(chill music)
-
- We cut off work at five.
-
So no emails, no nothing,
no one's bothering me.
-
You know, you can't be a robot
like all day kind of working.
-
And so that's been the biggest
takeaway that we found.
-
- I had to set an alarm
for myself for 5:00 PM so
-
that I could remember to stop working.
-
And now I'm going to
disconnect, no more emails,
-
no more work, no more filming.
-
And also disconnect from social media,
-
which I've been meaning
to do a lot more recently.
-
One of my goals this year was
to have a better relationship
-
with social media in terms of work.
-
And also like my personal life.
-
It's something that
I've been talking a lot
-
with my therapist about
-
so I have been wanting to
do more like disconnect days
-
from social media.
-
So I guess this is a good
way to start just like
-
for an hour, 5:00 PM to
6:00 PM after work, unplug.
-
So that is what I am
going to do before dinner.
-
(chill music)
-
And so this is my dinner for today.
-
Just a salad with vegetables,
-
some chicken, luckily not fried.
-
And I think there's some rice
noodles at the bottom as well.
-
This freshly baked focaccia bread.
-
So, yum!
-
I'm like iron deficient.
-
I always have to make
sure there's like iron
-
like red meat, spinach and stuff.
-
Cause I found
-
that it actually affects my productivity.
-
- Work is officially done.
-
Ooh, Jupiter's getting ready to party.
-
I love that Amanda
prioritizes her time off.
-
Ever since we started
doing that, hands down,
-
it's been a game changer, hasn't it?
-
Like time off after work,
like you just need that time.
-
I'm literally the worst vlogger, blogger
-
because I forgot to show you what I ate
-
but I had this, delicious full of iron.
-
Just like you like it.
-
Amanda delicious bowl full of iron, rice.
-
A little bit chicken, a little bit love.
-
It was delicious.
-
I'm feeling good.
-
Just casually cleaning my kitchen.
-
(chill music)
-
- Well, so since I'm
disconnecting from social media
-
I wanted to show you guys
my new toy that is not
-
social media related.
-
Guys, I got a Tamagotchi!
-
Does anyone else remember Tamagotchis?
-
I used to have two of these.
-
They were my favorite toy growing up.
-
If you don't know what a Tamagotchi is
-
then you're probably way younger than me
-
or maybe they didn't have them worldwide
-
but they're just these
like little toy pets
-
that you feed and there's
different buttons.
-
You play games.
-
You like literally wash it,
-
like actual pet and it grows
up and evolves and all of that.
-
I low key forgot how
temperamental these things are.
-
like mine actually just died again
-
which is why it's in an egg.
-
It hasn't hatched yet.
-
It's like the second time
that my Tamagotchi had died
-
and I swear I'm not a
bad Tamagotchi mother.
-
I feel like I'm pretty attentive.
-
Okay, that was a bad example.
-
I'm always there whenever it beeps at me
-
and needs food, I always feed it.
-
Maybe this means that I'm not
ready yet to have a puppy.
-
If I've killed my Tamagotchi
twice that says something
-
about my maternal instincts, right?
-
Who needs social media?
-
I have my Tamagotchi.
-
It's on a key chain though.
-
Like, should I flex this on my purse?
-
Whenever I go out.
-
(beeping)
-
It just started beeping.
-
Look at him.
-
He just got birthed again.
-
Welcome back for the third time.
-
My little friend.
-
- That time of the night where we relax,
-
watch some TV, check out
Dennis what he's wearing.
-
Pretty fun.
-
We usually watch TikToks at this time
-
and actually I have to do what Amanda does
-
which is watch TV.
-
And we were going to
watch some rock climbing.
-
So toodaloo.
-
It's officially the end of
the day, about to recap.
-
Honestly, today was very
productive, but I will say
-
if you think I woke up at
6:30, I played you because-
-
Oh, what?
-
(Natalie laughing)
-
So this is what happened, guys,
-
let me tell you now that
you made it to the end.
-
- Oh, I woke look at me waking up at 6:30.
-
And I'm going to bed right away.
-
- I woke up at 6:30,
-
and then I literally
did my little routine.
-
And then I came back
upstairs, saw him sleeping
-
and got jealous and fricken
fell asleep till 10.
-
So what I'll say is, you know,
do you boo, because Amanda
-
I try to do you, but I couldn't.
-
I just couldn't!
-
6:30 just ain't my jam, okay!
-
- Journal a little bit
at the end of the day
-
like just kind of recap the day.
-
And also it helps me to
prepare for the next day,
-
what I need to do for tomorrow.
-
Not like intense working, but
more so just like generally
-
like what I want to happen tomorrow.
-
- For me, I feel like
I've become an adult now.
-
Like I just like watching
TV, like what happened?
-
You know, I used to like
-
just be on YouTube and like TikTok.
-
I actually try not to
go on TikTok at night,
-
but sometimes before bed
-
Dennis and I share like the
funniest TikToks of the day
-
and that's kind of how we end our night.
-
Yeah. And we always watch a show together.
-
(chill music)
-
- All right.
-
So that was our productive daily routines.
-
It was fun switching or I
hope it will be fun switching.
-
- Yeah! Freaky Fridaying it up.
-
- Yeah, Freaky Friday.
-
We can switch bodies.
-
We can switch back now.
-
- Wait, let me get a sip of boba.
-
- Thank you, Natalie,
for being on my channel.
-
- Thank you! This was so fun.
-
- This was fun.
-
And if you guys want to
see the collab that we did
-
on Natalie's channel, go check it out.
-
I'll be sure to link it above as well
-
as in the description box down below.
-
Follow her, subscribe to her.
-
She's awesome.
-
And yeah, I'll talk to
you guys in the next one.
-
Keep doodling!
-
- Oh wait, let's do that again.
-
- Keep doodling!
-
Bye!
-
Good enough, good enough.
-
- You need to leave these bloopers in.
-
(chill music)
