a productive vlog bc my life is in fact not together | room tidying & decorating, holiday shopping

some serum went up my nose

hydration

all done time to get started with my day

hello my friends it's nina, welcome to a video

i think today's the day that i'm going to have a pretty productive day

and officially get my life together because behind me, oh

uh oh

behind me is quite a mess

hopefully i can clean up and organize

because now i'm at the point where i'm getting overwhelmed

i am getting tired of it

i'm going to finally clean up.

and i also have to go out and run a few errands

maybe do a little holiday shopping

it's finally november which means it's apparently time to start decorating for the holidays.

my neighbors all around have already decorated their houses

it's very cute

so i'm gonna do a little shopping

but i just did my makeup, my hair is drying

and i am wearing a pretty cute holiday outfit in my opinion

it's comfy and cozy, i'll give you a glimpse at it

i'm wearing this cute brown sweater.

it has this v neck which fits nicely with my collared top

this sweater is so soft

and then i'm wearing this maxi skirt

it's got this navy blue floral print

i love pairing browns with blues

i just thought if i'm going to have a productive day

then i'm going to dress up a little bit

and this entire outfit is actually thrifted from thredUP

who is also the sponsor of this video

so on my channel i've talked about thredUP before

they are an online thrift store with thousands of brands you might know.

it's a great place to find unique pieces, trendy pieces,

staple pieces that your wardrobe might be lacking

they have thousands of new arrivals everyday so you're bound to find something you might like

and of course everything is secondhand which is better for the environment

you're giving clothes that already exist in the world a new life

and you can find really cute pieces

because it is finally sweater weather where i live

i'm not profusely sweating all the time

i can bring out the sweaters, and i love finding sweaters on thredUP

i also got myself a few holiday winter pieces

i'll actually show you right now

so i will first talk about the top i'm wearing right now

i actually think i can wear my hairband right now

it just completes the outfit

but the sweater i'm wearing right now is from thredUP

the sweater was originally from the brand express

and with an estimated retail price of $36

i got it for $16.99.

this is probably one of my favorite sweaters that i have

i love the warm brown color

i also like how lightweight it is

but it also keeps me warm at the same time

and then for my skirt it was originally from the brand old navy.

it had an estimated retail price of $30 and i got it for $16.99

as you know, i love long flowy skirts

they're easy to throw on, sometimes i don't feel like wearing pants

next i'm going into this long blazer that i found.

it's like a cross between a blazer and a coat

i feel like this piece is nice to throw on, layer

you can throw on a heavier coat over this

or you can wear this on a day that's not too chilly

so this was originally from the brand topshop

it had an estimated retail price of $90

and i got it for $27.99 on thredUP

i feel like it's very classy, and speaking of coats

i did get myself a coat

a grey coat, it is long

it is a heavier coat, i'm excited to wear it during the holidays

so this was originally from the brand zara

it had an estimated retail price of $119

i got it for $62.99 on thredUP

i love the grey color, i have a lot of greyscale items.

i'm a fan of black, grey, white clothing

and the last outerwear i have i am very excited about

i found this sort of cropped puffy jacket

i love how puffy it is, it's literally so lightweight

and it has a nice cropped fit, you can wear some high waisted jeans with this

on thredUP you can find so many unique pieces of outerwear

especially for the winter, and the holidays in general is a nice time to dress up

this is from the brand celebrity fashion by hera collection

it had an estimated retail price of $143

and i got it on thredUP for $36.99

a great steal

and finally i have one pair of bottoms

i got myself a nice high waisted pair of patterned trousers

again i love the grey color

this will go great with the pieces that i literally just got

and it's high waisted, i love high waisted pants

this is originally from the brand ann taylor loft

it had an estimated retail price of $80 and i got it for $20.99

so those were some holiday winter items that i got from thredUP

if you wanna find pieces that are similar to what i got, thredUP actually has this new feature called thrift the look

i am participating in that

for instance i will be including this outfit that i'm wearing right now

and you will be able to find pieces similar to the sweater that i got

the skirt that i got

basically my entire outfit

i think this is a fun feature

you can basically recreate my entire look sustainably, all secondhand

so i do have a link you can use to thrift my look

if you use my link thredup.com/nina

you can thrift my look and you will also get a special discount on your first order

have fun sprucing up your winter wardrobe

get in that winter holiday spirit

and also get that special discount on secondhand items

so now i am fully ready for the day

i am going to go out and hopefully get a drink

a caffeinated drink. i need caffeine

also yes this is basically a seoyeon cosplay

my webtoon characters give me outfit inspiration

what can i say? let me live

i am back home!

my room is quite the mess, i think i might finally tackle this

it is only 5 pm

it feels like night, it technically is night but it's only 5pm

hopefully by the end of tonight my room is just clean

i think the mess is so bad i might have to blur it

piles upon piles of laundry

this is my little bag for masks

let me just show you what i bought today

so i got two volumes of manga

i got another book

but i can't show you it because it's actually my friend's birthday gift

and they might be watching this video

so hopefully they're not

i got demon slayer volume 9

we've got tengen

and then i got haikyuu volume 8

i wasn't sure what volumes i had

so i limited myself to getting one

and i knew i didn't have this one

the cover has kageyama on it as the king

very happy about these

one day i will show you my manga collection

it is growing

this hobby is not the best for my wallet but i enjoy it

also could i have bought the complete box set of demon slayer? yes i could have

am i too late for it now that i have a bunch of random volumes?

yes, i can't--

i would get the complete set but at this point

i have so many random copies i'm just going to try to finish it on my own

and i think it's more fun it's more challenging

i like to make inconvenient situations for myself

i also ordered more volumes

don't mind me

this is just something i like to do

i'm gonna add this to my collection, one day i'll show you my collection but i kinda have to organize it.

oh actually let me show you what i got from target

to go with my room i got myself a white christmas tree

i think it'll look cute, it already looks cute

i just remember from last christmas, my green tree didn't really go with my room

and along with that i got a pink tree skirt

this will definitely go with my room

and then i got rainbow ornaments

i have a rainbow theme going on in my room, i think this will match perfectly

i have some ornament hooks

and then finally i have these LED dewdrop lights

they've got a rainbow color to it as well

very excited, but i can't decorate until my room is clean

so now let's get started

i threw on some pajamas

look at how short my hair is now

it's not the shortest but it is short compared to what i used to have

i feel like i do laundry a lot in my videos

but every time i happen to be filming my videos

it's also around the same time i'm doing laundry

i swear i don't do laundry that often

it's also because i don't fold my clothes as soon as possible

i usually delay it for a few days, up to a week

i am currently watching hunter x hunter

i'm on episode 8 or 9

it's pretty fun, i used to say hunter ex hunter

that's what i thought it was called

but apparently it's "hunter hunter"

maybe people call it hunter ex hunter, i don't know

but i'm watching that, i enjoy it

so i guess i'm going to watch that while i fold

i literally can't do anything else until all this laundry is out of the way

when in doubt, shove everything in a box

now that my room is sort of clean

i have so much space

so much floor space i don't know what to do with it

gonna put it in a box temporarily

look how bright these lights are

i also need a place for these one day

i just don't know where to put them

so i used to not be able to see the floor

now i can see my empty floor

now that it's on camera it kinda looks like a mess

i still have to organize my book/manga collection

i kinda want a chair here, otherwise i'm just sitting here like this

this is not a permanent idea, but i have something

i mean this is not bad

my dad gave me this

and i'm pretty sure it was all over the floor anyway

the idea is i'm going to have a chair here one day

but i cleaned up most of what i needed to

now i'm going to finally organize my desk

and then after i'm going to finally decorate my christmas tree

i'm excited, oh this is not that bad

i kinda like this here

here is the state of my desk right now

there i am, hello

i just went to new york recently so i have a bunch of stuff i packed

i'm going to finally get this all organized

and here is my desk all cleanish

it's still a work in progress but

for now i can breathe a bit more

i think it looks cute, very nice and colorful

i have a lot more room to work and do whatever i need to

i am now going to decorate my christmas tree

here she is

i looked directly at the light

here we have the lights, they're so pretty

ugh very pretty, i'm so excited

got it all placed, now i'm gonna make sure it's secure

let me try dimming the lights

that is adorable

oh my goodness

i would literally just put this on my desk if i had room

now for my ornaments

here's the tree skirt

this is so cute

it comes with string!!

well...

okay.

i will use this for something else

i'm going to keep using my ornament hooks

thank you very much

here is the christmas tree so far

yay omg it's so cute

you can see all the lights in the reflection

i am so happy with it right now

it is so magical

this will be its home for now

i think it's cute, yes i love that

aw how adorable

anyway i think that is going to be it for this video

it is 9:52 pm

it's been a long day and i took care of pretty much everything i needed to do

i am so happy my room is finally clean

i feel like i can breathe again

this is the beginning of my preparation for winter, the holidays

but i feel like now i can be a little more productive

a little more clear minded

and i'm just excited to get back into it

i hope you enjoyed your time hanging out with me today

and i am going to see you in my next video

i'm going to get started editing or working on my webtoon

the night has just begun for me

let's end this video with a hug, i feel like it's been a long time since i've done that

let's bring it in, nice and cozy
