Not going to lie, I feel like Valentine's Day is a little underrated. I know it's traditionally celebrated around love and couples, but I feel like we should be making a bigger deal regardless of our relationship status. Since there's not much going on at this time of year, I decided I wanted to take the week to romanticize and celebrate Valentine's Day. I hope you guys enjoyed today's video. Good morning, you guys. Happy Valentine's Day week. This week I'm going to be wearing as much pink as I can. I'm really going to step into my Valentine's Day era. Anyways, I'm going to the gym this morning, currently around six o'clock, and I feel really, really good this morning. I don't really feel too tired. I feel like sometimes when I oversleep, I wake up so mentally groggy and so tired. Yesterday, I slept for like 12 hours, not even kidding you, because if I don't set an alarm, my body can just keep sleeping and sleeping and sleeping. I will never want to wake up. And I woke up after 12 hours of sleep, but I felt so tired that my head was kind of hurting. I don't know if I actually needed more sleep or what, but I'm like what the heck? Like I should not feel tired after sleeping for 12 hours. So I feel like today I've really found my perfect medium with sleeping hours. You know, I think I slept for like eight hours last night, maybe just over. So that felt really good and I don't feel tired. And I think I also woke up at a really good point in my sleep too. I know if you wake up when you're like in deep REM sleep, then you're going to feel really groggy. So maybe that's what happened to me yesterday. But that's why I want to get like an aura ring or something, because I know that that tracks your sleep and then wakes you up. I'm pretty sure when it's like the best timing or something like that. But I definitely want to get something that tracks that, because that would be really cool. But I'm so yawning, obviously. Anyway, let's get ready for the gym. Happy Valentine's Day week. Guys, I'm just about to leave. I just can't believe it's February already. I feel like I was just at the beginning of January, but also Christmas, like the year of Christmas does feel kind of long ago. I don't know. I already know this year is going to absolutely fly by. So I'm really trying to be super present in every single day and just soak up every single moment. And if you're going through a hard time in your life right now, you're not feeling so great, just know that it's going to pass and it's going to be over before you know it. The bad times are why there's good times. You can't have your highest high without feeling your lowest low. That's just how life works and have been flow and literally just the flow of life. So it's just crazy to think like how fast time goes by. And if you're not doing so well, you're going to be healed very, very, very soon, whether that's physically, mentally, emotionally. I'm always trying to wish away the present. I'm always like, oh, I can't wait for summer and like thinking about that right now. But it's like, no, I can't just be like waiting for summer right now. I have to be living in the present. And that's why I really wanted to like make a big thing out of Valentine's Day because that's what's happening in the present moment, not summer, you know. And I just have a tendency of doing that, of just wishing things in the future and getting too excited for them and then focusing all my attention on that and not even realizing the amazing things going on in the present. So I want to just be more mindful about that, especially because like I was just saying time flies by. So that's something that I really have to work on. But anyways, I'm literally all pink today. Even got out my pink Lululemon water bottle, my pink nails. I'm getting my Valentine's Day nails done this week. I'm so excited. But I do still already have like pink nails. I got that on purpose. But okay, let's head to the gym. Do a leg workout, baby. So I just finished up at the gym and I'm at the grocery store right now because I have to get like groceries for the week. I just have no idea what I'm doing for dinner this week yet. I was supposed to figure that out when I was at the gym, but I completely forgot. So I'm going to kind of brainstorm in my car right now and see what we should have for dinner this week. So I can buy groceries for it. But I'm trying to think like is there a Valentine's Day cutie dinner that I can do? And the only thing I could think of is making like heart shaped pizzas or something. So if I come across some gluten-free pizza dough, I will definitely buy that. And then we can make some pizzas because that would be so cute to do for Valentine's Day week. I also have some like quinoa gluten-free pasta that I bought at Costco a week or two ago. And I've been wanting to try it. So maybe I can make like a pasta dish as well this week. But anyways, I always like to write down a brainstorm what I'm going to buy at the grocery store and make a list before I go in. Because otherwise I will take five hours in there just like frolicking and like looking at the aisles and just standing there. So to cut down the time and to make my life easier, I'm going to just write down a grocery list right now. I always have like an ongoing one, but I mean like for dinners and stuff. So I'm going to take a minute, scroll and Pinterest, get some food inspiration for Valentine's Day. But we're trying to stay on theme here guys for the week. I also really want to get a Valentine's Day mug, but I haven't been able to find one. I'm going to show you guys a grocery haul in a second, but I couldn't pass up these Valentine's Day colored vitamin waters. I got one dragon fruit and then this one is strawberry kiwi. But how cute. I've never tried this dragon fruit flavor so I'm excited, but I just had to get it because it was giving me the Valentine's Day aesthetic. Here's the mini grocery haul. So I got some green onion, avocados, some organic tomatoes for pasta that I'm going to make, and also for the pizza sauce. And then I got some rice vinegar, some bananas, because I've been obsessed with making banana bread, some baby carrots. These are just so good to snack on with some hummus. And I really like this brand of hummus because it has no inflammatory oils in it. There's just extra virgin olive oil. I'm so excited about this because I got some tartary juice. If you guys haven't seen on TikTok, this stuff has been going viral for this sleepy girl mocktail. We're going to try it in this video sometime this week. And I'm going to show you guys how to make it. It's like a cute Valentine's Day drink because it's nice and red. So it's on theme for this video. But I've been actually wanting to try this for so long now, so I decided to pick it up today. And then I just got some sparkling water as per usual. Because you guys know I've been obsessed recently. Got some coconut sugar, got some chocolate chips, some raspberries, some cheese. And this is so out of pocket for me because I usually do not buy dairy. But we're having a little exception this week because we're going to make hard-chip pizza, so I had to buy cheese. And then I got some pepperonis for the pizza and then a whole bunch of apples because I really want to try to make an apple crumble soon. So that's the vibe. That's a little grocery haul. Whenever I come home from the grocery store, I lay out my groceries and I'm like, how the heck did this cost me $120? The prices of groceries are actually insane. But it's okay, we're not going to focus on that because we're manifesting money queens. But anyways, I just had to call that out. Okay guys, I just made myself a little cold brew and I'm about to shower. But before I do, I need to tell you about a life-changing all-natural supplement that I have been taking for the past a little bit over a month now and it has truly changed my life. So Beam is actually sponsoring today's video. Beam's natural beauty supplement is combined with 11 different unique ingredients that can completely transform your skin. So let me show you, first of all, a before and after photo of when I first started taking this. And now I'm done the just over a month cycle on it. I have struggled with dry patches and eczema this whole past year now. I try to hide it from the camera because I get really self-conscious. So the first thing along the long list of things that it does is helps lock in moisture for increased skin hydration. This is perfect for me because I suffer with severe dryness and eczema, especially during these winter months. So this also protects your collagen and it also boosts the production of it. This contains the same amount of beta carotene that four large carrots has. So it kind of makes you look like you have a natural tan and you could see noticeable results within four to six weeks of consistent use. One of the ingredients that it's made with is biotin. And biotin really helps improve the skin's hydration, smoothness, and appearance. Another ingredient in here is pomegranate juice powder. And this is packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, which can aid the skin's renewal process. So when taking this, week one is like the evaluation week. Take some photos, look at the mirror, kind of soak in what it feels and looks like before starting. Week two is the adjusting period. So you might experience a little bit of purging. I definitely did. But that is basically a really good sign because it means that everything from within is coming out to the surface. And on week three, you're going to be seeing improvement. And week four is the regulation period. So your skin should be pretty much adjusted to this. You could compare it to your before photos and you will keep seeing great results with time and consistency. So natural beauty comes in a 30-day supply, which is 60 capsules because you take two a day. They're also non-GMO, vegan, and also third-party tested. So if you guys want to shop them and see just as much of a transformation as I did, like this is my holy grail. I don't think I'll ever stop taking this. You can use my code MAKEILA, also just the direct link in my description box and receive 10% off your order. But yeah, thank you so much to being for sponsoring this video. You guys know I'm very, very sticky on the products that I put in my body because I want to be as healthy as I can be. That's why I love them because every single ingredient in here is natural and good for you. Upsest, like completely. Madison and her baking. How many is that, 12? It doesn't? Or is that more? I think this is 16. Everybody go subscribe. She's a baker. Wait, wait, wait. I think this whole thing is all the way down there, so let's just go down there and then we'll come back to this side. Costco is always so chaotic. It's 9 a.m. right now, or 9.30, or almost 10, actually. And it's so busy. Like where are these people coming from? Hey guys, so me and Madison just got to the nail salon and we're going to get our Valentine's Day nails. I'm so excited. I've been waiting for this since I got these nails on. And we're going to get the same thing. Do you want to show them a photo? Oof. I'm going to stay with my almond shape though and get them like basically the same shape, but get that. Last year or two years ago, I basically got the same like that exact thing, but I had a pink base with the red hearts. Those are like one of my favorite nails I've ever got to ever. So I wanted to do kind of the same thing, but I wanted to switch it up a bit. So the white base is going to be perfect because it's still like very much the same, but just different color. So I'm really excited and I already know we're going to love them. Okay, my nails are like square, but they're kind of like fat because they were short. Everybody keeps telling me to do almond, but we're going to a different nail salon and they're better at shaping. So I think I have more faith in them to shape them better. We went to a new nail salon like when we got these done and they did not last me. Like I don't know if you could tell on camera, but they are like, well, how would you call this like patching? They're patching? Yeah, we weren't really like necessarily happy with the results. I mean, they were like good if you like squint your eyes and hold them at a distance. Yeah, but like my nail polish is literally getting wrecked. Like it's brilliant. But it's like if I'm paying for something, I want it to be proper. You know what I mean? Anyways, we're going to go pick up a coffee before. There's also a chapters here. So I don't think we should go before. Yeah, we don't want to be rushing there. So we're just going to pick up a coffee, go get our nails done, and then there's an indigo slash chapters. We're going to browse just for like 10 minutes. I can never not be near chapters and not go inside. So anyways, that's a plan. I'm thinking a cold brew right now. So definitely getting a nice shot. So you are really different. So look, there's a heart comfort. I'm in favor books and look at how cute. This is like giving Valentine's Day. I told her she needs to start reading. I'm not a big reader. With Colleen Hoover. And I literally gave you my book. Yeah, you did. And I told her to read Variety. And I told her to read It Ends With Us.  And I literally gave you the book. I don't read. There's no excuse. No, I don't understand. I'm just not a big reader. No, the problem with you is you read. Didn't you say you got eight pages in and then you just went on your phone? No, that's not what happened. I started reading it when I worked at the golf course and I worked in the Gizibo until when I didn't have any customers, I'd read it and then I'd get interrupted for five seconds. So then I was like, okay, I'm not going to do that. And then I never got back to reading it. Okay, this is what you do. This is what I'm doing. So before bed, you know how you scroll, scroll, scroll. Give yourself like, start with 15 minutes. So before bed, say, okay, if I'm going to go to bed at 9.30, at 9.15, put down your phone for the night. Take the book and be like, okay, for 15 minutes, I'm going to read. And sometimes you're even like, oh my gosh, I want to do this for longer tomorrow. Like, so I love this book. Like you want to know what happens. And then it becomes a habit.  Just put down your phone and start reading. Just for 10 minutes even.  Eventually, this is what happened to me. I got into bed and I didn't even want to scroll my phone. I was like, I want to read. And literally one night the book was so good, I couldn't even go to bed because I had to finish it.  But you just have to start it. You just have to start it. I mean, if it could happen to me, you give me a book of three and they were colorful, but I'm trying to see which one. Oh, that was the summer I turned pretty book. Oh, we already watched the show. Because I gave you those books like two years ago before the show literally came out. Like you're done. Like you're done. I forgot I even gave those to you. Poopsies. And the movie's coming out for this book. So maybe I'll watch it really first. No, no. You need to read the book first. Oh my god, if you read the book first then we can go see it together. And then you can like, because it's not as satisfying if you just go to see the movie without, without reading the book. So you need to read the book. I want a Tom and Kev. Me and Connor are starting 75 Heart where I actually are. And but I want to read a Tom and Kev. I'm reading that right now. Because it can't be a nonfiction book. It has to be a like for 75 Heart. You have to read a book. It has to be a self-improvement. That's good for you guys. Yeah. But you're going to really like a Tom and Kev. Yeah. But did you just get it on that one? I got it on my iPad. If I'm reading though, it's going to be on it's going to be on the book. I'm not very on that. Yeah, it's cheap. Since you're already reading those 10 pages a day, I would recommend like self-help books in the morning. Yeah. And then reading like fiction at night. Because it's kind of like a show. Yeah. It's not that satisfying reading self-help books at night. Because it's just like you want something that's like chill. Like you don't really want to be learning before you go to bed. You know? Please, if you're going to start, Tom McCabbage you have to start this book. Because the movie's coming out. Okay, good. But I don't believe you. So we'll see. Everybody in the comments, tell Madison she needs to start reading. Oh, this is very, oh this is the hard cover. I like come into a like, in to go over chapters or whatever you want to call it. And I'm like, oh look at all these books. It makes me want to buy a book. I wish I was the type of person that was addicted to books and always wanted to buy a new one. Girl, you know it takes, you know it takes like you actually starting to read and then you could actually be comfortable. Yeah, I guess so. Be the person you want to become. So you want to become a reader. So you want to become a reader. It's on the top of my list. So knock it down until I accomplish the other things first. What are the other things? No, this is okay. Guys, we found a topic. Oh, it's right here, Madison. What? 36. So 25% off of $36 is like only that $30. But you can buy it on Amazon for like 20. On Amazon, it's literally $20. Why are you worried? Because she shell is the 28 normal price. Really? I don't know why books on Amazon are so much cheaper than buying them in Stoker. You think that they'd be like the most... Because they're gonna whip you. But you think that like this is a big store, like it'd be most discounted in here. I think they're like soft. Back better than hard. I don't know. I feel like I would destroy for some reason a hardcover more than I would a softcover. Yeah, we're sold on the 15th. That's actually really exciting. We make our own diet. When we're like eating stuff on Saturday, it's gonna have to be healthy treats. Actually, that's fine. It could be healthy treats. Because like I'm still on my... I'm not doing any sugary drinks. Okay. But I'm aligned to myself. So I can move check. It's not like a soft, you know. Oh, that's my only excuse. So like we eat very unhealthy. We don't. I need to get my hormones and check, guys. Part of me wants to be a book girl and like have a library. But part of me doesn't. You could have literally one tiny little shelf with like not even 10 books on it. I know. But I kind of like reading on my iPad because it's always lit up for me. Is there French books in here? Why do you want French books? But for kids more. I don't know. Oh, okay. No, thank you. You're totally good. Yeah, let's go over there and see them. You guys know I love getting my eggs from Costco. And then I also have been getting their butter recently because they have this New Zealand grass-fed butter. Joel eats butter like no other. So I got two blocks, two packets of eggs, and then had to stick up on some toilet paper. All right, you guys. I just cooked this pasta. And let me show you the box actually. These are the noodles that I used and there's 23 grams of protein in a serving, which is so good. And these are actually better than like wheat noodles. Let's see what's in them actually. They're organic too. Organic chickpea flour, organic yellow lentil flour and organic red lentil flour. So they're very lentily, which is actually really good for you and can give you a lot of vitamins and stuff and protein. So this is a win. I'm so excited to eat. Okay guys, I just finished dinner and I'm about to head to bed soon. I've been trying to get to bed a little bit earlier this week because I've been implementing reading for longer. So I want to like make that a good, good, good habit in 2024. And it just like feels so good being in bed super early so that you have like unlimited relaxation time. I just hate getting into bed and being all rushed and then having to fall asleep. I like easing into bed, getting to just like chill, scroll on my phone for a bit, then put my phone away, then start reading. It's just a better transition, I don't know. It's just like I need my rest time at night. So we're gonna head to bed now. I like to use skincare and all, but like sometimes I get so lazy to wash my face and stuff and I just wish I didn't have to do it. I wish there was a button that you could press or snap your fingers and you could just be ready for bed. Like in your pajamas, face cleansed. That would be so nice. And also I don't know what's going on with me recently, but I go to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then I do a workout class Wednesdays and Fridays. And I don't know what is with me lately, but I just have not been as into the gym as I am my workout classes. And so sometimes I find it really hard not to drive the gym because I'm supposed to go to the gym tomorrow, but I'm trying to talk myself out of it subconsciously, but I'm like, no, just go get yourself there, do the workout. I don't feel so much better because I never regret going. Sometimes I just really lack motivation for the gym. I find workout classes just so much easier to get motivated by because you just show up and it's like music playing. You got your people there with you and it's just there on the silver platter. Here you go. Going to the gym, it's like, okay, you're at the gym and you actually have to figure things out, you know? Yeah. Anyways, I was trying to talk myself out of it subconsciously about going tomorrow, but I'm like, no. This is 2024 here we're talking about. It's one thing if I was genuinely feeling sick or like I genuinely needed a lot of rest, but this is literally me just trying to talk myself out of it because I'm being lazy. So no, we can't do that, you guys. If you ever feel this way too, just know that this is how the laziness creeps in. And then the more you give into it, the more you'll fall out of your routine and then you'll never go back to the gym. You'll never go back to working out. It is really important to follow your body and listen to it, maybe miss a workout when you're really not feeling it, but it's like I'm literally just being lazy and I know that. It's like why am I trying to talk myself out of it? Like just do it, you know? Sometimes it's like that and I just wanted to be transparent with you because I know I always show my workouts and stuff and how I make it look so easy, but sometimes it's not that easy for me and it's actually a mental battle in my head because like everything in life is up and down, ebb and flow, motivation is not always there, but it's the discipline that's getting me through because I made a goal to myself and I made a promise to myself and you know what that is? Self love, keeping your promises to yourself. When I make a promise to like a friend, I feel like I need to keep that promise more than a promise that I make to myself and it's like it should be the other way around. Like your promises to yourself should be just as important as making promises to your loved ones or friends or it should be even more important and take priority. So it's like I feel like you could probably relate too. It's like making those promises to yourself doesn't feel like you have to keep them because it's just you, you know? But no, like set your standards high for yourself. I wouldn't be bailing on a friend so I shouldn't bail on myself, you know? So that is true self love. Tough love, but it's love. I know if I didn't go work out, like I'd be mad at myself for it and I'd be like, why did you do that?  For no reason. But anyways, this is your motivation to be disciplined with yourself, obviously within reason and to show yourself some love.  And like the seasons of life where I'm showing up for myself and I trust myself in keeping my promises is when things are the most amazing because I'm confident in myself. That makes me confident. So anyways, okay, I'm gonna head to bed.  My hair is so greasy, but I'm probably gonna wash it actually maybe tomorrow morning after the gym. Good night, you guys. I love you and I'll see you tomorrow. I will see you at the gym. Good morning, you guys. I just got ready for the gym and I'm just about to leave. I slept in a little bit this morning because I was so tired because last night I was having the weirdest dreams literally ever. They were kind of one of those dreams that aren't necessarily like scary horror dreams, but they're more so just very unsettling. Those were the dreams that I was having last night and it was just one after the other and then I'd wake up and then remember it and start thinking about it and I was like, what the heck is this cycle? Like it was so weird and sometimes I go through phases where that it just happens to me where I just get these really weird dreams and then it's really hard to sleep because usually I'm a really good sleeper and I just sleep right through the night. But last night I kept waking up at least like a couple times and just really weird unsettling dreams and I just wasn't having it. So in the morning I was just a little extra tired so I slept in about an hour, which is okay just until 6.30 because I usually wake up at around 5.30. So definitely need this ice rolling today. But yeah, we're going to the gym guys.  So we're gonna do that, but first we gotta get our workout in. So I'm just kind of procrastinating ice rolling my face because it feels so good. Couple little cute Valentine's Day errands today. So that's good going. Oh my gosh, I forgot about my nails. So I just got to the grocery store and I'm about to go in because I need to get gluten-free pizza dough for the pizzas because when I was grocery shopping earlier this week I didn't find gluten-free pizza dough. So I've seen it at Superstore so I'm gonna go in and grab that. And then I think I need like maybe one more thing. I need to check my list. But that's the first errand that we're gonna run because I want to make those pizzas tonight. But yeah, I am so happy I went to the gym. Like I feel amazing now. I feel on top of the world. I kept that promise to myself. I just had to do it. That is it. Like it was just one simple step of doing it. And now I feel amazing. Like it's only 9.30 done at the gym. Now I can do my errands and move on for the day. You know what I mean? It just like such a good way to start my day. I'm glad I pushed myself. Anyways, okay, let's do some shopping. Okay, so I just stopped at the Nespresso on the way home as well. I want to show you guys when I go there. So I get four packs and I get their Bianco D'Opio and then I also get their Double Espresso Dolce. So I got two of each and this last one was so long. Then I just got some zivias, some ginger ale, some gluten-free pizza crust mix, and then just some gluten-free flour because I'm running out. And you guys, I was in the mall and came across these dishes and I think that they're just so beautiful. I couldn't pass them up. Like, are you kidding me? Look at these bowls. I love them. I love the systetic and they only had one small plate left. So I only got one, but I kind of want to go back sometime this week to see if they restock. And I got this beautiful dish towel to match, but I'm so obsessed with the systetic. Welcome to the segment of the video where we are going to make heart-shaped pizzas for Valentine's Day. I put on my pink little sweatsuit. So we're on theme.  It says that I need to add warm water, eggs, olive oil, and then mix it all together, leave it sit for 20 minutes while it rises, and then do the pizza. So it seems pretty easy. But I just warm up some water and then get the ingredients mixed together. But I'm so excited. I've always wanted to do this every single Valentine's Day, like, make cute heart-shaped pizzas and I've never done it before. And this year I was like, I'm taking initiative in doing this because it's such a cute little thing, even to do with friends, with your partner, with anybody.  Like, when do you ever make heart-shaped pizzas? Or even just for yourself for a really cute moment. I definitely don't believe in myself for making this from scratch, especially because this is gluten-free. But feel free to experiment in your chef era if you want to make it from the dough from scratch, or you can even buy, like, pre-made dough and then shape it yourself. But this was the only gluten-free one that I could buy. So it's perfect and it's going to work. Let's get making some heart-shaped pizzas. I'm excited. Actually, this might only make one, big one, or maybe two little, medium ones. I don't know. It's not Valentine's Day. Well, it's close to it. It's meant to get in the spirit. Is the spirit good? Yeah. It's called the Valentine's Day spirit. Also, they haven't even asked me to be around time yet. It's not even Valentine's Day. Don't see about that. You're supposed to ask that on Valentine's Day. No. You want me to ask you a week in advance? No, the day... I mean, yeah, at least. Respecting a carom gift basket. I have a different Valentine's Day. Okay, so I'm going to divide this dough into two. So let me get a little color. So divide it into two. Can you pass me the spatula? What we need to do is put it on one. Actually, we should get a... We should probably line this with parchment paper first. I don't know. Plastic on the parchment paper because it sticks. Are you sure it sticks? Yeah. Remember, I'm making a heart sheet. You just have to make the crust with it. Moving three. I followed the instructions. Hey, don't get the book. Maybe just flatten it with your hand. Maybe plastic would have been better. No. You've got to mold this by hand, I feel like. This is crazy. Let me use this spatula. You focus on yours. Are you going to put more flour? Maybe put more flour into it? I don't know. Yeah. This doesn't even look like it's going to make a pizza. I'm going to put more flour into it. And then... Oh, how am I going to get this off? I'm going to scrape it. Here, I'm going to put more flour into it. What if I'm going to do a cow dung? Yeah, this is already so much better. Put more flour into it. Really? Yeah. Like, flour is doing good. So, what do I do with that? Still exactly what the instructions said. That's it. It's just sticking in my fingers, though. Whoa. We got to pyramid. It's making pizza. Like, what the heck? I followed the instructions. Exactly. I think this might stick to the thing. The parchment. Like, I don't even know if this is going to cook. It doesn't feel like it cook as a crust. Just to post my bedtime videos around this. Okay, hold on. Okay, we're going to try this again. Here in this bit and all this stuff.  That's what I'm going to do. Yeah, this is very shapeable. Oh my god. That was my first attempt. Oh, but it wouldn't have worked because yours is so doughy. Can you sprinkle some more flour in here? Like, why is this working? Because we do need glue. You don't have flour. But, like, this should work. Like, I bought the package for a reason, you know? Full package. It's like a gluten-free recipe package. This came in a box? Yeah. You got me this hand made? It's came in a box. You can eat it. And he said, yeah. Oh, but it is hand-made. It's definitely made with my hands.  Scrape it off. Like, pass or leave. A literal mess. Like, what is this? What the heck? I think we should just attempt to bake this one. Okay, it's a little rough, but I think we can do it. Do we have regular flour? Yeah. Maybe I'll put some regular on mine. Wait, we might not. I don't know. It's kind of working well. Making the crust. I think it might actually bounce my flour. Look, I kind of did it. I did something. I think it's because you had more flour. Well, this is good enough. Yeah, that's good. I'm going to make more. Okay guys, I'm putting her in the oven. Wait, just what about the ingredients? Carrot. No, but this needs to come for seven minutes before we put the toppings in. You've been tricking me this whole night, have you? Did you mix the flour in? Yeah, I did. It's a little crumbly. Perfectly mixed. Here, you can roll it, but put the paper on it. It works. It works, it works. You're doing it hard, right? It's in Italian. This is not authentic Italian. No, it isn't. Probably New Yorkers' all. They help those people out. It doesn't work. It doesn't take hours. What's hours? Okay, it's perfect. Oh wait, let me smooth out on that. It needs to be a little smooth. There you go, that's good. Okay, it's ready. All right guys, pizza number two. Let's hope this works. Okay guys, pizza didn't turn out as bad, but it's like really thick, so I'm really scared to eat it honestly. It's so thick. So the mine is flake.  Can you bet me a spoon? Um, we got some organic tomatoes that Richie's gonna use as tomato sauce over here. Look at those flakes. Ew. That's a good piece, that's prime. But it's Italian seasoning on the sauce. Dude, just like the pizza I had in Italy. Oh yeah, just like it. I literally miss that pizza so much. That was like the epitome of my existence. Everyone needs one half of the cheese. I'm gonna do both. Double the effort. You're gonna double it? I'm not gonna double it. How come you're doing so much smaller? It's so thick. I made a mistake. Okay, I made it way too thick. Okay, my pizza is done. This cheese doesn't feel real. It's not, for sure. What's an Italian seasoning on here? Yeah. Mine doesn't really have a crust. It's like an infinity pool. Never know the edges. That's how you make no crust pizza. Oh god, this is turning out a lot different than I had expected. But you know what? Life is a journey. Life is a journey. What about the experience, not the destination? That is so funny. That was wrong. Was that the one on what you put? No, I put it at the bottom. This is just too good. Like, what is that? Anyways, this is mine. We'll see how she looks after the oven. But she is one thick pizza. But she looks cute. So that's how it matters, right? Okay, let's put them in the oven. I think they're gonna be good though. Really? Yeah. Okay, come here. And four. Okay guys, here are how the pizzas turned out. I think they're kind of cute. But I'm really scared because I made mine so thick. And I don't know if it's gonna even be eatable. But we'll see. Joel's is actually way better than I expected. It looks fire. It looks good. Oh, this is better. But we're down in the comments below. I think the shape of mine is better. Which one would you rather eat? That's the question. Okay, mine looks aesthetically better because of the crust. And like, it looks good.  I think mine might look better too. I don't know. Vote down below. Mine or Joel's. Let's have a little contest. Anyways, okay, we're gonna cut this up and we'll do a taste test for you guys.  Okay, there's your pieces here. You guys, look at the cute pink plates that I have for us.  This is not good. This is not looking too hot for me. But- I'll let you have my pizza. We'll try it. We'll try it.  All right, taste test. Oh, it's so hot. Be careful, don't burn your tongue. Is it good?  Really? I'm so- Mine's already thick. I've been into it like a cookie. No. Just try it. Just try it. Oh no. It's not fine. Oh, it'll put something in my stomach.  I'm not gonna start. It's pretty bad. It's okay. It's a solid- Mine's all three years. It's probably like better. Like a six. I would honestly rate it at a ten. Happy Friday. I'm so excited. That is Friday. I'm looking forward to this weekend. I have a Fusion Pilates class today at Oxygen Yo-Kai Fitness, which I'm so excited for. By the way, if you guys want to get a free class at Oxygen Yo-Kai Fitness, I have a code with them. And if you order my Instagram highlights in the health category, I like told you guys how to book and everything with my code. If you guys don't know how to use it, but go get yourself a free class at Oxygen Yo-Kai Fitness because I love the classes so much. This week has gone by so much faster than any other week. Literally in my life, I don't understand how it's already Friday. It feels like, usually the week feels like it went by pretty fast, but this week is actually insane. It feels like we actually teleported here. Like I'm not even kidding. I don't know what happened this week or why the time went by so fast. It's actually insane. I also ordered and bought an iMac. I'm really excited for that to come in. It was supposed to come in yesterday, but now it got delayed till today. So better come in today because I'm so looking forward to unboxing and opening that. It's going to go into my office transformation video, but I will show you guys like once it's up. I'm so excited for that to come in. It literally better come in today. So so disappointed about it not coming in yesterday. Today was a good day. I'm going to do my morning routine. I'm running a little late today because I'm just, I just, this is my alarm. So I'm going to start doing my morning routine. Get ready for the workout class and then head out. We got this. Good morning. I'll talk to you guys later. Get sleepy girl mocktail. This is all the ingredients that I'm going to be using. So I'm going to show you guys right now. So since it's Friday, I'm starting to relax a little bit early. So that's why I want to make it out. I just like I'm really craving a drink. I'm actually going to be using collagen powder in it. I would be using magnesium because that's what's supposed to go in the drink, but I just don't have any right now. So I need to order some. So if you guys want the actual real sleep girl mocktail, use magnesium powder. I will link one down below for you guys because magnesium is supposed to help you sleep and stuff. So I would definitely get that. So I just started off with my glass here and I put a couple of frozen strawberries just to make it look cute. And they also add a really good flavor. So I'm going to add in my collagen powder. If you guys use magnesium, you want to make sure to get a certain kind of it because one of the magnesiums is like used for a laxative. So you definitely don't want to get that kind. So I'll have the one that you're supposed to get linked down below. Okay. So now I'm going to open the tart cherry juice. This is 100% organic, just literally tart cherry juice. Oh my gosh, that's hard to open. I'm just going to kind of eyeball the ratio here. All right. Now we just want to take kind of like a flavored sweet carbonated water drink. So I'm going to take the ginger ale Zebia. I've seen people use poppies or just something that has some sort of sweetness to it. That's carbonated. You can actually use real ginger ale too. It doesn't really matter just anything that is going to go well with this tart cherry juice. And then add it in. Oh my God, that's, oh my. It's overflowing a little bit. This looks so pretty. Are you kidding me? I have this little mini straw. I'm going to mix things up around here. Cheers. Let's give it a try. That is like really good. Oh my goodness. I'm actually obsessed. 10 out of 10 recommend making this. Oh my gosh, I'm actually going to have this every single day now. I'm pretty sure cherries also have a lot of health benefits. So that is amazing. And this drink is just so good.  I've been really thinking of Valentine's Day this week. Yes, it's about couples. Yes, it's about love. But that also includes love within yourself. And so I realized that I've never written down or never thought of reasons why I love myself. And I know it sounds kind of cheesy, but it's like when I think of any other person, I'm like, yes, this is why I love them. But when I think of myself, I haven't really thought of anything. And I've never really sat down and had this discussion with myself and thought of things. So a really nice thing for yourself to do this Valentine's Day would be to write down a list of reasons why you love yourself. Keep it in a place where you can always read it if you're ever feeling down, if you need it. And I feel like it's just such a cute idea. So that's what I'm going to do right now. Write a little love letter to myself and just write things that I love about myself down. I feel like we're always prioritizing other people before us. It's like I'm thinking of what to get to offer to Valentine's Day, but it's like, what about myself? Like this is a holiday about love and I love myself. So anyways, let's write a few things on why we love ourselves. And I'm going to keep this paper forever and make sure to read it if I ever need to. My goodness, you guys. Here is the computer. I am already so obsessed with it, just like sitting here and using it for a while. It made me feel so much more productive and so much better about working. This is so motivating. I cannot wait to add everything on it that I need to add and start editing on it next week. I already started editing this video on my laptop, so I'm not going to be editing this week's video on it, but next week I will and I'm just so excited. It's such a cute aesthetic. Oh my goodness, I am just in love with it and this is going to motivate me to work so much more. I got the 2023, I believe, with the M3 chip iMac. This is in the color silver. I got 500 gigabyte storage and I upgraded the RAM to 16 because I wanted to future-proof this computer as much as possible, but I am just in love with it. I'm so excited about it and I'm so excited to finish this office and it's so inspiring. You guys, obsessed with this computer is an understatement. I'm so happy. It's just so important to switch things in your environment to help you stay motivated and stuff and this is just the change that I needed because I have been editing off of this laptop for the past four years and that is okay. Not saying I need to get a new one, like I didn't need it, but it was definitely a very much wanted upgrade because this is a bigger screen, it's a desktop and it'll make me feel like I'm more professional because I have just lacked that and I just can't wait to sit down here and have a place to work instead of always feeling like I can bring my workstation with me everywhere. I am going to keep this laptop because obviously it's really nice having a laptop as well, especially if you're like traveling or that one-off time if I want to go work at a cafe or something. I can also bring this with me. So I'm going to keep this, but I was running her into the ground because I have had her for four years and I've been working her hard and I've noticed she slowed down a little bit.  So now I'm just going to use her for probably just watching YouTube videos and just light stuff and then my Mac here is going to do all the editing and I'm just so excited. But yeah, she did her time. She'll still be used just not as frequently, but I still have to actually edit this video on there. So one last time, I just got these blue light glasses off of Amazon and I will link them down below. I actually really like them. I always reach for a pair of blue light glasses because I'm staring at my computer screen all day. So I feel like it's really important to protect my eyes. I actually do have real prescription too, like I need to wear glasses. I have a stigmatism. I don't know if you guys knew that, but I do have real glasses, but I don't need them for like close up. So if I wear my glasses when I'm looking at my computer screen and it doesn't make a difference if they're prescription or not, I can see it perfectly fine. It's just like things in the far distance and when it's raining and dark at night, I can't really drive without my glasses. So my day to day, I don't wear contacts or anything. My prescription isn't horrible, but if I wanted to enhance my life a little bit, I totally could wear my glasses or wear contacts, but I just choose not to because I don't know. It doesn't, I don't feel like I'm straining my eyes at all. Like it's not horrible. I just have a stigmatism and that's it. Yeah, sometimes I'll look at something and like I'll think it's a certain shape and then it's not. And it just, it's really weird and these are really good quality. And I think they were like $30, maybe $25, but I'll have them linked and I really, really like them.  I have something really, really excited planned aside from the podcast this year that I'm starting and I'm not going to say too much about it right now, but I'm going to tease a little bit that I do have something coming and this is what I needed in my life. Like this is what I needed. I just have been feeling really, really aligned, especially this week and the amount of angel numbers I've been seeing is actually crazy and I'm just so excited for what the future has to come and I just feel really aligned once again and I feel really, really good. Whenever I feel out of alignment, I notice the universe telling me like it's kind of just pushing me in another direction. And so once I figure out what that is, I start to feel super aligned again and then I see the angel numbers and then the universe is like, yes, you're on the right path. So it's really interesting how that works because I always go through periods where it's like I don't feel super aligned, I feel a little bit off and it's because I'm not in alignment with my true purpose. So the universe is kind of nudging me and pushing me towards that direction to figure it out. Anyways, I'm just really excited for this year and all the good energy that it's going to bring, I just have so many ideas and I'm just so excited. But anyways, I'm going to end off this video here. I hope you guys enjoyed. Let me know down below in the comments what you guys want to see from me. I hope you liked the length of this vlog. I tried to make it super long for you guys because the long vlogs are back. So I'm really excited about that. Don't forget to give this video a thumbs up. Don't forget to subscribe because I looked at my analytics and a lot of you guys who consistently watch my videos are not subscribed. So why, like, what are you doing? Why aren't you subscribed? Like, don't you want to get notified when I post? Also, go follow me on Instagram. Go follow me on TikTok. If you're not, what are you doing again?  I'm kidding. I actually love you guys so much regardless but if you were to do that, I would love you just a little bit more. So anyways, okay, I'm going to go. I love you guys so much and I can't wait to see you in my next video which will be very soon and I hope you have an amazing week ahead.


In this lesson, we will learn how to test for the presence of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and chlorine. We test for gases in the laboratory because it is nearly impossible to determine the identity of a gas just by its appearance. As an example, hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are all colorless and odorless. How would we be able to determine which is which? To test for hydrogen, place a lit splint at the mouth of the reaction vessel. You should hear a very distinctive squeaky pop, which confirms its presence. This is due to the combustion reaction of hydrogen in the presence of oxygen, creating water as the only product. To test for oxygen, place a glowing splint at the mouth of the reaction vessel. Keep in mind that the splint should be glowing, not lit. A glowing splint relights in the presence of oxygen. Why does hydrogen burn with a squeaky pop? Why does oxygen relight the glowing splint? Hint, recall some properties of hydrogen and oxygen. Please pause the lesson to think about this and resume once you are done. Hydrogen is highly flammable and the pop sound that you hear is actually a mini explosion. The glowing splint relights in the presence of oxygen as there is a higher concentration of oxygen in the reaction vessel than compared with air, which is only 21% oxygen. Carbon dioxide will extinguish a lit splint, but the same occurs in the presence of ammonia. A more accurate test is to bubble carbon dioxide through lime water, which is an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime. Lime water turns milky in the presence of carbon dioxide due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Ammonia extinguishes a lit splint and turns damp red litmus paper blue. In the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid, a white smoke will form. This is ammonium chloride and confirms the presence of ammonia. Chlorine turns damp blue litmus paper red and eventually bleaches it to white. In conclusion, hydrogen burns with a squeaky pop. Oxygen relights a glowing splint and carbon dioxide turns lime water milky. Ammonia turns damp red litmus paper blue and forms a white smoke of ammonium chloride in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Chlorine turns damp blue litmus paper red and continues to bleach it to white.
