Hi and welcome to the SIG usability conference talk for this coupon. Why does anyone use Kubernetes anyway? Happy to see you all. I'm Tasha Drew. I am director of product incubation in the office of the CTO at VMware Gabby Hi, my name is Gabby Moreno. I work at IBM. I'm a senior product designer Working on Kubernetes Sometimes OpenShift and just generally open hybrid cloud technologies Carl. I'm Carl Pearson I worked at Red Hat once upon a time working on OpenShift mainly and I'm still involved in SIG usability and working on Kubernetes And I'm Josie Pinata. I'm at VMware. I'm a senior product designer and I work on developer experience on Kubernetes Cool. So a quick introduction to our special interest group So we are part of the upstream community in Kubernetes SIG usability And we are tasked with the mission to look at core end user usability of the Kubernetes project So this ends up covering topics like user experience Accessibility and the goals of our SIG are to ensure that the Kubernetes project is maximally usable by users of a variety of different backgrounds and abilities I'm one of the co-chairs. Gabby is the other co-chair Currently the main project we've been driving as a SIG is a jobs to be done study that we've presented on at previous KubeCons And are continuing to drive gathered data for With the goal to eventually be able to release all of this data and use it as a foundational open source block That we can then drive additional studies Into user behavior and user needs from we do have monthly meetings of our upstream group They are Tuesday at 10 a.m. Pacific if you want to engage with us Some of the easiest ways are via these links at the bottom of the slides. You can join our Slack group We're in the Kubernetes Slack and then we have a channel called SIG usability that we all are in We have a GitHub page where we store project information And then finally that we have a Google group And if you join our Google group you will automatically get the calendar Invitations including the zoom information so you can attend our meetings And you we also have an agenda doc that is linked to that Google group So if you have a topic you want to talk about you can propose it either via the mailing list or via slack And then we can add that to our next meeting agenda as time permits So today we are going to talk to have more of a panel sort of interactive format for this presentation and We're going to kind of leverage the wealth of information that Gabby and Josie and Carl have all been Gathering as we've been going through this jobs to be done study So to kind of kick that off we're going to give you a quick overview of just how are we studying users? So Gabby would you like to tell people how we're currently studying users? Yeah, sure Tasha. Um, so there's kind of like a Term in the user research field called jobs to be done research that is really cool Because it takes kind of like the best of qualitative research which we think of in terms of you know, I'm gonna go interview users to takes qualitative and then the best of quantitative because What you do is when you're interviewing people sometimes they say things and that you're like, oh, that's super interesting But I wonder how many people like is it a real Market need so like, you know, it's really hard to be like what one person says applies to many people and so I think one of the really cool things about Chops to be done is that through the interviews that we're doing We're kind of trying to get through like all the opinions that people have of Kubernetes because you know as we all know Kubernetes users can be super opinionated And so we're kind of trying to see exactly like what they Specifically do with Kubernetes their behaviors and ultimately Kind of like distill that from the interviews and turn it into a survey This is kind of very typical of jobs to be done. The survey is sent out and You use kind of like a typical like for each Job or behavior that someone could do with Kubernetes It's rated on how important it is and then also how satisfied people are today with how they're with the Experience of doing it. And so at the end you kind of get this nice nice Insight into what are the most basically underserved Jobs that or tasks that people are trying to do with Kubernetes that that as an open source community We kind of go rally around and tackle Awesome And Josie, what kind of users have we spoken to so far? We've spoken to a bunch of folks from a very like a very variety of different places in the world We've spoken to a couple of people in Southeast Asia as well as Europe and in Canada These range from IT consultants Dev managers SREs, we've even spoken to a couple of people who teach courses on Kubernetes So a real variety of folks Awesome And so how is the work that we're doing here different from typical work on Kubernetes? Carl, what do you think? So what's interesting about this is user research in a more formal process isn't Often applied in the open source space that people get tons of user feedback But applying this more kind of structured user research approach I think it's kind of a new thing that we see in the developing the open source world especially so One thing that we've had to figure out There's a little different than the rest of the Kubernetes contributors is something around security Of course, security is really big in Kubernetes overall That's obviously a huge priority across a bunch of different working group areas But for us, the the domain of security looks a little different So we're like Gabby mentioned actually interviewing people So we have videos and recordings of them talking about the way their organizations work One way to get the best findings from people is to make sure they feel comfortable to share anything that they might want So we have to make sure that those findings are anonymized and their identities are Protected from their actual findings so you know they can speak freely So that's one thing we've had to figure out is you know, how do we protect our users and Their identities and keep that information secure and in the open source world You know, we have a lot of really interested and excited people that are kind of jumping into the project So we had to come up with some more rigorous processes to figure out You know, where are we going to store these videos who has access to them? How are we going to keep these videos over time and you know, discard them eventually? Where are we keeping the findings who has access to them? So we've had to come up with some more operational components to figure out You know how we protect the users that are ultimately serving this research project So a little bit of a different take on security than I think most people and I think it about Kubernetes working groups Yeah, absolutely I know that that's come up Several times as we think about this because people have been so open with us And when someone sits down for a jobs to be done study like it's like an hour plus, right? Like it's not, you know, kind of like a 30-second You know survey that you're taking on SurveyMonkey or something And so they're really giving us a gift of a significant amount of their time so that we can really Understand from them what jobs they are trying to do with Kubernetes and how they're approaching that to sort of inform our research And when someone gives you that much time, you really want to make sure that you protect their data You know that you're thoughtful about it But at the same time we're balancing that with the needs to be open and share things with upstream so others can leverage them And so that's kind of the line that we've been walking and really kind of carving out for ourselves Since it's a different use case than many of the other SIGs and working groups in upstream are dealing with So yeah, it's cool So for people to kind of follow up on that who do want to start contributing What is a good way for them to get started? Gabby? What do you think? Well usually, you know, we're pretty friendly group so I you know coming to the monthly meetings are usually kind of like the best way To get started and you know, we'll usually be giving an update on where we are and jobs to be done at that time Or if you have any project ideas as well but some of the ways that people have contributed in the past and I can also talk about some of the Opportunities that we have now When we were doing the one-on-one interviews We were really leaning on contributors You know like Josie like Carl like myself that have kind of like Done user research before or maybe Carl you you came in with like a really solid jobs to be done Kind of like a project under your under your belt. And so, you know, we had kind of like the this Opportunity of you know, if you're a user researcher or designer that has done this before like Come do it in an open source type of environment But if you haven't done it before One of the opportunities that we offered was for people to shadow these interviews just to kind of learn How they're conducted The opportunities that we have available now are more around now that we have actually finished our phase of interviews Now we're going through and analyzing them. So we're looking for things like what are people specifically doing and so You know that can be a little bit time-intensive, but one of the things that we are offering is, you know, just Training up people and or just giving tons of examples on how do you go through a transcript of an interview and highlight or identify behaviors? and so Again, like the the tagging contributor role and ultimately that will be reviewed by By my Josie Carl myself Just to kind of like have some type of quality review to the process. So So, yeah, so those are kind of like some of the examples of how people can and have gotten involved Awesome. And is there a good way for them to kind of reach out to get involved? Like what would that look like? Yeah, um ours. I would say either through Slack You can hit up myself or you know any any of the people here on the call So Slack Or or one of the monthly meetings are probably the best place Awesome. And how is the how are the findings going to be used? One as once we're in a more complete state with this effort So, I can take this one. Yeah, I think that's an interesting big question mark Because like I said, no one's really there aren't a lot of examples of this formal research process and open source Contributions, I think there have been more research contributions in other Projects that are more usability focused or it's like, you know, fix this button. This is very concrete What we're doing is a little bit higher level. Hopefully a little bit more influential where you can really reshape strategies and Make sure that you're kind of pointing the ship in the right direction So I think that's one thing that remains to be seen. I think a big thing will be Socializing the findings make sure that we really get to share them widely and make People understand just how it came to the conclusion that you know, we don't just think these are fun They're like good that we actually have a pretty rigorous empirical process to get there So I think in a best-case scenario, you know, it might shape some possible Like new working groups that are tackling problems that like Gabby mentioned are part of this kind of underserved quadrant Where they're really needed but really hard to do right now And that would kind of be the best case and we can get some specific work streams coming out of the high-level findings that we get Awesome. Yeah, so now we're gonna transition into talking more about what we have been learning as we've been going through this Research study. So Josie, I'm gonna give you a nice spicy question first So why are companies moving to Kubernetes? So keep in mind, we're still synthesizing this research and this is like What's on top like at top of mind right now? Maybe when we do the full research The findings might be a little bit different But a number of folks mentioned hype They've spoken about the fact that the decision was sort of made because the market is moving in that direction And they didn't want to be left behind And so even before like the technological opportunities There was a really Big consideration of like, oh everyone's moving to Kubernetes. We need to as well Yeah, I mean there is like a huge part where just the ubiquity of a platform ends up driving the ubiquity of the platform Carl, did you did you have any sort of takeaways from this when as you're speaking to users about why they're moving to Kubernetes? Um, some people I think yeah I get pulled in by the hype and then they find that the community there is is really supportive and they have a good chance to contribute And I think there's this kind of collaborative nature That brings people into it And I think that that's probably one of the biggest drivers I've seen beyond just the hype and then some people also have had experience at past companies now as it gets more mature and Get into a new place and say I think we could set this up in a way that you know Might serve XYZ need a little bit better. So there's a little bit more kind of Institutional knowledge now that's moving across companies. Although I would say that's more rare now I'd be curious to see if it gets more common later down the road Awesome. I gap you anything to add there Um, I would just kind of like echo What would Josie and Carl have already said? Um, I think the the Carl what you said about like the community that Kubernetes has I think is kind of like a huge part of it, you know, even being here at KubeCon, um, you know, just having that community and also just generally You know for the people that Do kind of like start trying to put together like proof of concepts for Kubernetes and they just kind of like discover The api and just kind of like how well formed it is. Um, I think that can be really Exciting for a company that has done all of this kind of like manually And now they're discovering that they can just think about it in terms of software. Um, so I think that that's something cool, but then you also kind of hear things like When you open this up to like the Maybe like a very product development focus team that doesn't want to focus on infrastructure Then you start seeing all like the articles about like why Kubernetes is hard and why Um, why it's not worth moving over to Kubernetes because it's really like an infrastructure oriented project So as we're speaking to these users, um, when they do move to Kubernetes Do they find it valuable? And I think this probably ties into these different layers of concern like the infrastructure user Or administrator versus the development development teams Josie, have you found anything about this? So those companies that we're talking about the hype around Kubernetes um, a lot of the challenges that these organizations deal with is the fact that Um an upfront cost has been made in order to transition to kubernetes But then there's no runway for onboarding developers or rewriting applications so that they can best utilize kubernetes um, and so what you have is uh teams that are trying to product like provide value but The application isn't set up in a way or hasn't been rewritten In a way that they can really make those changes uh, so Like the hype is very real And there is a lot of opportunity But it's just time and money needs to be invested so that developers are properly onboarded Um, and applications are rewritten so that they take full advantage of the features and capabilities of kates And then when we do speak to Users who do manage to make that full evolution into writing kubernetes native applications versus perhaps cloud or container native applications What then do they or do they not find beneficial about kubernetes at that point when they're really trying to adopt it? You know holistically um So a lot of the the common key points of scale cost speed And the fact that like kubernetes is written in a way that makes sense to developers Often like devs don't really want to interact with the infrastructure at all But kubernetes and infrastructures code sort of makes it more accessible Awesome So have we learned anything about just the getting started new user experience? So far carl Yeah, I think we've learned a few things I mean one we've explored the kind of concrete pathways that people take to learn about kubernetes and You know people definitely spend a lot of time in docs in tutorials just a lot of kind of like getting their hands dirty and Just finding the resources that are out there and luckily it seems like there are a lot of resources that are available to the infrastructure type person who Can really get their hands dirty and you know get to testing things really quickly Like the getting started experience part of it is just like You know to spin something up and see how it breaks and figure it out from there And they're really quick to be able to do that um I think the other side of that is the kind of developer kind of like what the end user of the kubernetes might be is It's kind of a different story. Um, it can be a bit more more challenging for someone that isn't as infrastructure oriented to To get on board and learn kind of the unique ways that kubernetes will interact with their applications So that's something that It seems like a big job of the more administrator role is is is helping developers on board So, you know, they can get their hands dirty really quickly But then they have to bring those developers up to speed which can be a big challenge There aren't as many formal resources for that partially because a lot of it's very idiosyncratic for how their organization works But that is kind of there's there's two sides of the coin for who finds it easier to get started with kubernetes Yeah, one of the fun facts that I remember from when we first started doing this study was that we were learning from a lot of people that Unless they had to learn how to use kubernetes for their job like their boss was basically like learn this or you're fired We the kubernetes community tends to churn people who don't have that really driving need to like figure it out And so I think that really indicates to us that there's a lot of better onboarding We can do to make this a project that people can grok faster without the big push to learn like for their job immediately And so I think that's something that I really hope to see our team start to kind of crystallize is like what could we Invest in to make this easier And I think that there's a debate going on too about Do developers need to care that they're running on kubernetes, right? Like where does that line have to live for the infrastructure team to be able to use it incredibly Impactfully, but the devs to just be like here's a docker container. I'm moving on with my day, you know, so yeah What do people love about kubernetes gabby? What have you found? Yeah, I mean I would kind of like go back to like the I think what we hear again and again and again Is people saying that they love the api like They see the api and they see these abstractions uh like infrastructure abstractions and They're just kind of amazed that they wrote This themselves before and that now it's like You know, I don't ever have to write this or even maintain this again Unless you want to contribute to like the open source project But then it's like you write it once and now everybody can use it um So I would say that you know, there's many things that people love about kubernetes But but I would say that that's kind of the most resounding one that I've heard Awesome, uh, carl. What do people not love about kubernetes? Um, one of the big things people don't love is upgrading Uh, it can be a big kind of stick in this the smooth process of of letting things run automatically in the background It opens you up to, uh, you know The idea is to you know patch more security vulnerabilities But there's a lot of little things that can kind of break along the way and to keep your eyes peeled for You know changes to the api or anything like that and You just people are never quite sure how it's going to interact with everything they've built on top of it so It's still kind of a careful careful process for people and They are very strategic and when they choose to do it some people are faster some are slower but everyone's definitely thought about the kind of The the trade-offs between upgrading faster and slower and and try to make the right choice there Carlin even to to add to that, you know, not everybody uses like managed kubernetes You know, like if you're running Because I mean the environment is also a thing like if you're if you have something that's maybe like latency sensitive So you might be doing something on prem Um versus something like and like the nearest like cloud region. So I don't know I think it's also like Upgrading your own version of kubernetes has its own kind of like hoops and hurdles to run through as opposed to upgrading Something that's like managed definitely uh, and then so Just to kind of wrap up the session on a bang What based on the data that we've been collecting What has been our user's core underlying goal for using kubernetes? Carl, do you want to kick this one off? Yeah, this might be a hot take that could change as well But uh, ultimately I think kubernetes really Gets infrastructure people super excited because you see this is such a cutting edge and efficient way to do things when you get it set up Right, but it's kind of funny because I think ultimately this is in service to the applications that You know are running on top of kubernetes So it's like this is all for the developers like that and goal is just to make the developer process For their applications really really smooth. So it's kind of like get out of the way as much as possible for these developers and You know So I think that's kind of an interesting dichotomy because we're mostly talking to infrastructure people But and the very end it's kind of in service to these developers and they're like business critical applications that Are are running on top of the platform Yeah, absolutely So how do we optimize an experience for a tool set that And a user base that basically doesn't want to know that it exists, right? Like it's like, yeah Kind of fascinating cool. Uh, does anyone have any uh last thoughts you'd like to um put on the board? No Cool. Okay. Well, thank you everybody so much For participating in this panel and we'd like to just really welcome the community to join sig usability We will be working continuing to do these jobs to be done studies With a future goal of being able to wrap this up with enough data for us to Make some really nice conclusions and then share that anonymized data that we're going to go through a really Strong sort of sanitation process on before we serve it back up to everybody So you can do your own reporting and learn from it as well. Um, so thanks and we'll be chatting with you soon

Zooming in by holding down control up on the scroll wheel currently at the 125% on the zoom in Selecting the cog dropdown noting that we're in the accountant view as opposed to the business view We'll try to toggle back and forth between the two views so you can see where stuff is located in each of them. We're going to go to the tab up top to duplicate it as we do every time. Duplicate in the tab to put our financial statement reports and right click in the duplicated tab to duplicate it again as that's thinking tab to the middle and reports on the left. Opening up the balance sheet as that's thinking tab to the right reports on the left. Opening up the P and L profit and loss income statement close on the hamburger otherwise known as the hamburger and changing the range 010122 tab 12322 tab run it tab to the middle close up the boogie scrolling up changing that range in from 010122 tab 12322 tab and run it. That's the setup process that we do every time. This time we're going to look at some supporting reports to the major financial statement account on the balance sheet of the accounts payable. We have similar issues with the accounts payable as we do with the accounts receivable. Noting however we only have those issues if on the vendor side of things the payment side of things the money going outside of things for goods and services that we're purchasing we buy them on account using a bill form. So let's just recap that if I hit the plus button up top remember that when you're on the vendor side the vendor cycle the expenses cycle at the end of the day we expect or the end of the cycle at least we expect then money to be coming out of our checking account typically. So we could do that the easiest method which would be basically we just pay the bills as they become do with an expense form or a check form. And so we get the bill we enter an expense form or a check form possibly with the use of the bank feeds and we've recorded at that time or we might have an accrual system in which case we're going to enter the bill into the system as a bill in the system. Now notice this gets a little get confusing. I just want to point that out again. The bill specifically for QuickBooks means that we're entering something for goods and services that we are purchasing. Not only that the bill means that it like if I receive a bill from a vendor I might not enter it as a bill in the system. I might just pay off the bill with an expense form and a check form. The bill in QuickBooks is a form that means we're increasing the accounts payable. So only if we're increasing the accounts payable and we expect to pay it later will we have a bill form only when we're using the bill forms. Will we have accounts payable only if we're tracking accounts payable will we need these other reports that are going to give us more detail about the accounts payable. Now also just realize that small businesses often times might be in a situation where they're on more of a cash based system for their payments where they're on more of an accrual based system for their revenue because on the revenue side they're in the type of industry where they have to invoice. But on the expense side of things they can they could just pay the expenses possibly as they come do with an expense form possibly using the bank feeds or possibly using a credit card again using the bank feeds with the credit cards. But as the company gets bigger more and more you're going to want to use the bill form typically because that helps you to pay the bills as late as possible because cash management becomes bigger and bigger of a thing because like if you paid your your bill your utility bill today versus 15 days from now it's not going to have a big impact on your cash management but if you had a whole bunch of transactions that you could pay 15 days later than you're paying them then it starts to become necessary or impactful or have a material impact. If you have very large dollar amount transactions then the later you can pay them then the better your cash flow strategy typically is. Okay so given that if we go back on over here we can say that the accounts payable here represents who we owe the money to if I drill down on that it gives us like our GL account our transaction report which is like a general ledger notice that goes up with a bill it goes down when we pay the bill that's what we expect to be happening. However this is broken out by date and I want to see it broken out by who we owe the money to in other words by vendor. So I'm going to go back on over that's where the reports come into play here so let's go to the tab to the right right click on that tab and duplicate it so we can open up more reports more reports and then we're going to go to the reports on the left hand side close up the hand boogie scrolling down to the area where it says who you owe what you owe so you would expect if it says what you owe you typically owe to the vendors meaning these are typically supporting accounts payable so they got the 1099 reports up top we'll talk more about them possibly in a future presentation because there's kind of specific reports due to added complications from taxes taxes always kind of complicate things so we'll kind of skip that for now we got the accounts payable aging and the accounts payable aging summary the detail in the summary these are the main reports that oftentimes we're going to be using that give us more information than we find generally in the vendor center and then you got the bill payment list remember that the bills represent an increase to the accounts payable so this is you know the payment of the bills is going to give you more support about basically the tracking of the accounts receivable on the balance sheet bills and applied payments once again the bills increase the accounts payable so this is generally giving you more information about the activity in accounts payable in essence unpaid bills these are the bills that we entered into the system increasing accounts payable that's what bills do that haven't been paid so this will be a supporting report to accounts payable vendor balance detail this is specifically what I would call the sub ledger these two the detail and the summary of the accounts payable breaking out the accounts payable not by date of transaction but by vendor so so these two would be the primary kind of sub ledger reports if I go into the vendor balance summary for example and there we have it now we've got the accounts payable totaling to 1602 and it's broken out by who we owe the money to if I go back to the first tab we can see I'm sorry to the balance sheet that ties out to the 1602 67 here that makes sense however we often don't use this report as much in practice because instead of going there we're going to go into the vendor center we're going to go to the left hand side we're going to go into the expenses tab in the accounting view and then we could sort by the expenses up top and filter for example by the type which is a bill and possibly sort by the open bills that have not yet been paid and that's one way we can sort this information it actually gives us a nice total down here and QuickBooks which is really cool because that means we can actually tie this out without an actual form to what's on the balance sheet right there right there so in practice that's what you would probably be doing when you're sorting your bills but you always want to think about when you're doing that that you're tying out to an amount basically on the balance sheet for accounts payable going back to the tab to the left you can also sort it over here I'm going to I'm going to open up the tab and go back to the expenses and you could go into the bills and do a similar sorting method in here for the unpaid bills for example or you could go into the vendors and you could say I want to see the open bills by vendor and now if they had multiple bills that were open they would be you don't get this nice sub total down below but it's the same information so if I go back over here on the balance sheet this balance has a nice sub ledger which we could make a report for which looks like this this would be the most natural sub ledger report which you could use in reporting purposes but oftentimes in practice we're going to be using that that vendor center area to get that same information back to the reports scrolling down to to who you own to the other one is of course the vendor balance detail reports let's look at that one so same thing but now you've got the vendors and then you've got the open bills within each of them giving you the detail about the open items you might be able to sort this report to give you more information than just the bills so that you have the bills that were paid and the pay bills and what not to give you that more detail but the total should come out to the same and this gives you the detail that's more similar in practice if you were going to go to the vendor center and go to your actual vendors here you get a similar kind of look from a practical perspective of the vendors that you owe money to and the number of bills that are open within here so going back on over to the tab to the right let's see what else we have under the reports and close up the hamburger we're looking at who you owe money to what you owe they call it so we also have those two we've we've got the unpaid bills this would be more similar to if I go to the tab to the left looking at the closing up the ham or open the hamburger expenses looking at the expenses here and sorting by bills or the bills here that would be similar you would expect to a report like this which would be the unpaid bills which once again is supporting the accounts payable these are bills and applied payments so now you've got kind of both sides of the transactions we've got the bills and the payments applied to them and then you've got the bill payment list and then let's go into the ones that add a little bit more detail that's why these reports are the most common oftentimes because they have that added layer of the aging detail so let's go into the accounts payable aging let's look at the summary first this is probably the most common layout that we would expect similar to the accounts receivable aging it's breaking out the accounts payable by how current it is so now we've got our vendors this is the current amounts these the one to 30 days past due 31 to 60 61 to 90 so obviously if we look at this and we start to say okay we've got some amounts that are way past due then those are the ones that that we would you would think need to jump on and be paying from a cash flow perspective our goal often would be to hold on to the cash as long as possible paying as late as possible as long as we're not giving up penalties for doing that or interest charges or fees like that and as long as we're not annoying our vendors we want to have good relationships with our vendors so often times if you get too aggressive on your cash management strategy then you can annoy the people you're trying to do business with and that's not really good either but that gives you that added level of detail it's probably not as important of report this AP aging as the accounts receivable aging because the accounts receivable aging has that added layer where we don't know which customers actually going to pay us right we got a we're trying to get the customer to fulfill their side of the bargain with the accounts receivable and we would have to value how much of the receivables we think maybe wouldn't be collectible in that case in this case this is our side of the table we're the one that needs to fulfill our side of the transaction the vendor has done what they're supposed to do we need to fill fulfill our side so it's not like we have this estimate of how much of these payables are not going to be payable or anything like that we're the ones paying them right so we're trying to determine which ones need to be paid and when so that's why the accounts payable aging summary might not be as common of report even though the format looks quite the same as the accounts receivable aging report or one reason if I go back up top you can change the number of periods and so on in a similar way as the receivable aging and let's look at the detail one if I go to the hamburger reports and just look at the last one for the detail to round out our discussion of these items what you owe here's the AP aging detail and so now you've got the same kind of stuff except the agents are broken out this way and then within each of the categories you've got the bills that are making up that aging category so it comes out to the total again just breaking it out in a different fashion so there it is let's go back to the first tab let's hit the cog drop down and switch to the business view just to see where stuff is located that we've been looking at under the business view so we know that the reports are in the business overview there's the reports and then we know that we've been looking at like the vendor center I would call it the vendor center which is under the get paid and pay center we're under the pay part of the get paid and pay center so we could go under the vendors here there's our list of vendors we have our open invoices we could go to the bills and then unpaid bills and then that other transaction detail is under the bookkeeping section so that's under bookkeeping transactions closing the burger and then we're on the expenses tab and that's where you can sort your items by say the open bills up here so those were the locations are under the business view as opposed to the accountant view

So, welcome to today's episode, the Tai Lopez show. We're looking for the good life. How do you live the good life? Health, wealth, love, happiness. Dan, somebody I've known for a decade, he's a super entrepreneur. I want to talk about the evolution of social media over the last five years, because I feel like everything's changed. Let's just take the last five years, 2017 to today. So, the main thing that's changed is the algorithm. Before when we had a chronological feed, you would see the people that you followed, you could see them in real time, or effectively in real time in order. So, if Tai was at a restaurant and he would post about being at the restaurant, and I was in the restaurant too, or I was going to the restaurant, I could interact with him and be like, hey, I'm going to be there too. That's social media. Now, it's just media. The social part has been removed the last five years, where Tai could post from the restaurant. I might not see it for two days, three days, four days, or ever, because Instagram and other platforms think that they want to show it to me at a different time of the day. Also, the competition of amount of influencers changed drastically.


For more videos on people's struggles, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. Hello and welcome to People's Dispatch. Today, that's June 16th. The Communist Party of India Marxist is organizing an All India protest. And this protest has certain demands to Narendra Modi government. Now we know that India has been facing a severe crisis with respect to COVID-19. It's the fourth in the number of cases. And the government's response, it is imposed lockdown or the lockdown is being eased. And the government's response has been widely criticized because it has failed to take care of the needs of some of the poorest, some of the most marginalized sections of the population. So it's in this context that the CPIM is conducting this protest. And to talk more about this, we have with this Vindhakar, political member of the CPIM. Thank you so much for joining us. Pleasure to be here Prishnan. So one of the first things I wanted to ask was, I'll just mention the key demands first. One is cash transfer of nearly 7,500 rupees. That's $100 per month for six months for every single family, a distribution of 10 kilograms of food grains, 200 days of employment under the rural employment guarantee scheme and an end to the privatization of state enterprises. So could you detail some of these key demands in the context of how the government has been handling this crisis? Well, may I first greet your viewers and especially those in the United States of America for the huge pushback against the racist and completely fascistic approach of the police exemplified in the terrible murder of George Floyd and the kind of worldwide protests, particularly across America and in many countries in Europe that we have seen has really inspired the feeling, I think, across the world that governments are using lockdown to push their agenda, asking us to be physically distant. And of course, we are conscious of the need to protect lives. But at the same time, the weak, all right-wing governments are pushing their agenda during lockdown. I think the fight back against racism and the Trump administration's policies, I think it was very inspiring for the entire world's people. So congratulations for that. So now to come to your question, Prishan. Every country has given us what is called a stimulus package. And in actual fact, if you analyze each and every one of those packages, they are really bailouts for the big corporates, for the banking sector. But even in the most committed capitalist economies, you have had a portion of that package, which is directly additional expenditure for the people to put in the pockets of the people. In America anyway, they've been getting an unemployment allowance. Apart from that, there is a direct cash transfer. But here in India, in the 10% GDP that the Modi government claims to have spent as part of that relief package, it's hardly 1% which is additional expenditure, less than 2 lakh crore rupees. And the most shocking thing is, you have as much as 870 million tons of food grains rotting in the go-downs of this government. They're spending money to keep that food grain safe from the rats, the hungry rats which are at the food grain stocks because there's so much of it, they can't even keep it in go-downs. We don't have enough go-downs for it. But they're not prepared to distribute it to the people. They are giving bailouts to big corporates. In the last two years, they've given something like over 2.1 lakh crore rupees. Even now, right now as we talk, they're working on plans how to wipe out corporate debts to the banks, write them off. And yet they say they don't have money to transfer to the people. Now, apart from the fact that there's no ethics in this policy, there's no morality, there's no, not even iota of humanity. Forget all that. We don't expect these government to have that. But it doesn't even make economic sense. Your country, your economy is in a recession. Your consumption expenditures are lowest it has been for the last two decades. People have no money in their pockets. There's a huge demand side crisis in the economy. Give people money so they can spend and they can boost demand. There's nothing socialist about this. It's just capitalist common sense. But that government is so committed to this so-called deficit and fiscal fundamentalism. Which had been imposed as part of this whole neoliberal framework by international agencies and particularly international rating agencies. So this government is now deciding policies on the basis of international rating agencies, not on the basis of the needs of our people. That is what the protest was about today. Fundamental issues of survival and we've got a huge response. Right. And I'll come to the details of the protest a bit more a bit later. But before that, I just wanted to ask you regarding the Modi government's handling of the pandemic itself. So how does the left see how the government's approach to the health sector and to this crisis has been since it has exposed many things about many governments across the world? You're absolutely right. And I think Modi government along with Trump and Bolsonaro and others of that ilk who refused to accept the danger of this virus who ignored it. I mean, the WHO had warned about the global pandemic much earlier on. In January, I think it was that the WHO had given that warning to governments across the world. The Modi government didn't start acting until March and in contrast in Kerala, where we are running our government, even within this really difficult situation with such a resource crunch. Communists in leadership of the state government, the provincial government, have shown that there is an alternative. If you have an alternative political vision, even though your resources are so limited, you can relieve to the people. So we started on a scientific basis in January itself. And this whole question of testing, of tracing, of identification, of quarantining, the entire methodology, which is now being accepted all over the world as a model, was in Canada. But in complete contrast to that, the Modi government first of all didn't recognize it. Secondly, when it did, it didn't prepare the people for a lockdown. I mean, what was in the government's mind? You're in a country with 14 crore migrant workers, they don't even have the correct figures. Even if you take their lower estimate of eight crores or 80 million, you know, if you look at the entire workforce in India, it's around, I would say 42 crores, 420 million. So of that, if you say eight to 10 crores of migrant workers and you impose a lockdown, what were you thinking? What would they do without jobs, without incomes? And the margin between destitution and survival is literally daily work. Without the daily work, undocumented workers in India. So although some governments tried to provide some relief, they showed there no confidence in the Modi government's policies by walking.  We have to survive. We want to go home. And they started the long walk home. Thousands of kilometers all over the world, those images. And what did the government do? It was totally silent. So one big issue was the non-preparation for the working people of India. It was also at the time during the lockdown of the harvest. And the government had nothing for the Kishans of India. So that was the second big blow. First the workers, then the Kishans. Then the large number of self-employed people, small shopkeepers, street vendors, where would they be left in the lurch? So there were rents to be paid. There were bills to be paid. There was food which had to be bought. Where was the money? So we said, I need to provide the cash right now. Transfer the cash, transfer free food grains. Ensure that those who have worked will get their wages. I mean, even countries like Germany and the United Kingdom, when they gave their stimulus to smaller enterprises, they said, this is to pay 70 to 80 percent of the wages of the workers, not a pie in India, not a fence, not a cent. So the lockdown and the way it was done was unplanned. It was unfotob. It was careless. It was cruel. It was authoritarian. That's one aspect. As far as the people are concerned. And every section of the picture. And simultaneously, we've also seen that the government has been cracking down on dissent as well.  There's, especially since 2014, when Modi came to power, there's been a very sustained attack on dissidents, on those who are critical of the government. But this lockdown has been especially used to attack the critics and those who have been involved, for instance, in protesting against the citizenship amendment as well. No, you're absolutely right in that because there are two aspects. One is I had mentioned earlier, right-wing governments are trying to use this lockdown to push their sectarian agenda. And here in India, the Bhartya Janta Party, which is the ruling party, and its mentor or its controller, which is, you know, an extraconstitutional authority, which has a lot of power in India known as the RSS, which is a fascistic organization built on the inspired by Hitler and Mussolini. I mean, they don't take say that. So this is not something which, you know, I'm just saying off the top of my head. So these two together and all their various affiliated organizations have tried to use a lockdown for two things, basically. One, to push neoliberal reforms. In that, you have some sections of the RSS who are a bit wary of it because then so-called nationalism won't take them so far as to totally oppose what the Modi government is doing, is selling off the country's assets. But they do make a few noises now and again. So one is the issue of neoliberal reforms being pushed, the core of that being the scrapping of all labor laws, which is what the agenda is. All labor laws in India, which we've won since independence. I don't know if your international order is what they'll think, that today we have governments in India encouraged by the central government, which wants to bring back the 12 hour day and impose it and say, this is the way we're going to get investments, we're going to be leaving China. So anyway, that's one aspect. The second is you have very correctly pointed out Prashant, is the clamping down on any kind of protest, any kind of dissidents. And this attack on democracy in which very well known human rights activists, fighters for the poorest sections of Indian society, the socially oppressed, the scheduled caste, the scheduled tribes, the Dalits and Anibasis, fighters for minority rights, they are being identified and they are being called anti-national and thrown into jail. And one of the most dangerous things which is happening right here in the capital of India is the arrest of so many hundreds of people who were in the, if your audience will know that just before the lockdown, there was a huge movement in India on the issue of citizenship and how the Modi government was trying to attach religion and religious identity to the issue of Indian citizenship, which is actually the core of our constitution, which we are so proud of, that there's no religion attached to our state. And there's no religion attached to the rights of citizenship. It's absolutely secular. So they wanted to change that, discriminate against Muslims in the main. And now they are trying to target those activists of that citizenship rights movement and link it up with the kind of communal violence that the capital of India saw in February and in March just before the lockdown. So today my case was there coincidentally on the 16th of June. My case had come up in the Delhi High Court in which I had asked for action in January against those BJP leaders, including a union minister who were indulging in hate speech, the kind of toxic language which we had seen in the capital of India. Since January to June, I'm very sorry to say the courts of India have not found it important enough to even force the government to reply to the petition which they admitted. So this is an agenda which they're taking these two together. Attack on people's rights in the form of neoliberal reform and the attack on constitutional guarantees of democracy and dissent and calling everybody anti-national. And so in an interview including a young pregnant woman who was a 21-week pregnant young Muslim activist. And finally to build on two aspects you were mentioning earlier. One is that in one state in India we saw that even writing Red Salute Comrade is something that could be punishable by law. And simultaneously we've also seen that there's been a lot of attack and targeting on the left you mentioned being called anti-national of course. And then there's a larger question of how during these times we see resistance itself. And you mentioned again one example which is Kerala which has been an example to the world on how do we have an alternative way of dealing with the pandemic in a society. A question in parallel is how do we visualize resistance at this point of time? And you mentioned the kind of response that today's protest got. There have been a number of other movements by organizations associated with the CPIM in the past couple of months, farmers movements, trade unions movements. So seeing all this together how do you see how do you look at resistance at this point of time itself? It is very difficult to tell you the truth because with COVID cases increasing as they are you know we have not even reached the peak yet and we're already fourth in the world. So there is a huge increase in the infection and the poor are the most vulnerable because of lack of nutrition, because of lack of the access to health and particularly women today are among the worst sufferers because it is in this situation where in a patriarchal society like India they are having to not only increase the huge burden of care work for families who are all locked in together but at a time when there is no money in the house. So there's so much mental stress and also the vulnerability to infection, worry about the children. It's a horrible situation today for India's poor women who are the large majority. So there is an objective situation which on the one hand you have a critical health emergency in a situation where you do have to take precaution and on the other hand you have a government which is not waging a war against the virus but waging a war against its own people and their rights. So obviously as communists we cannot, we will not and we have not kept silent. So one big part of our work has been relief work reaching out to lakhs and lakhs of people, donations also from poor people, professionals who've been so generous in giving relief and helping us. So we, there's not a single area in India where the red flag is not visible in giving relief work to the people but now we have to move on to the big stage of struggle and as you very rightly said the trade unions, the Kisan movements, women's organizations like Edoa, the all India democratic women's, they've been out in the streets and how are we doing it? We have said start at the village level, the block level and reach out to these lakhs of people there. Reach out and mobilize them on the very basic demands which is there for each and every section of our people. The struggle will increase. Now today in a state like Kerala the reports are that over 10 lakhs, that's a million people in one small state of India. One million people were out today but they observed physical distancing. We totally abhor that word social distancing. It is absolutely unacceptable. So physical distancing, wearing masks and doing all that but reaching out to the people and this can only grow. Resistance will grow. We cannot keep silent because really if the COVID is not going to get us, certainly hunger and the Modi government's policies are so we cannot keep silent on it. So that's the way forward and I'm extremely encouraged and inspired by the protests today. It was absolutely known. All villages, so many villages across India look at the contrast. Here we are out on the streets and there's the Modi government not a pie for the people but for one state of Bihar to buy these LED screens to have a leader in Delhi addressing a virtual rally. So they spent 144 crore rupees. How many million is that? You please calculate and see. Address 200,000 people and here we were with not a penny spent lakhs of people, hundreds and thousands of communists and sympathizers and workers and peasants were out on the streets today. So just as globally dealing with COVID, there's a difference between socialist countries and capitalist countries. So also in the resistance and the way you do it, you see the red flag and other progressive minded people and citizens coming out in protest and you look at these right-wing governments like Modi who have no money for the people and they spent hundreds and thousands of rupees to spread that toxic message not to unite India but to divide India. What are you talking to us? Thank you. That's all we have time for today. Keep watching People's Dispatch. you


Natural selection, natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in the heritable traits characteristic of a population over generations. Charles Darwin popularized the term natural selection contrasting it with artificial selection, which is intentional, whereas natural selection is not. Variation exists within all populations of organisms. This occurs partly because random mutations arise in the genome of an individual organism, and offspring can inherit such mutations. Throughout the lives of the individuals, their genomes interact with their environments to cause variations in traits. The environment of a genome includes the molecular biology in the cell, other cells, other individuals, populations, species, as well as the abiotic environment. Because individuals with certain variants of the trait tend to survive and reproduce more than individuals with other, less successful variants, the population evolves. Other factors affecting reproductive success include sexual selection now often included in natural selection and thick-undity selection. Natural selection acts on the phenotype, the characteristics of the organism which actually interact with the environment, but the genetic heritable basis of any phenotype that gives that phenotype a reproductive advantage may become more common in a population. Over time, this process can result in populations that specialize for particular ecological niches microevolution and may eventually result in speciation the emergence of new species, macroevolution. In other words, natural selection is a key process in the evolution of a population. Natural selection is a cornerstone of modern biology. The concept, published by Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in a joint presentation of papers in 1858, was elaborated in Darwin's influential 1859 book on the origin of species by means of natural selection, or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life. He described natural selection as analogous to artificial selection, a process by which animals and plants with traits considered desirable by human breeders are systematically favored for reproduction. The concept of natural selection originally developed in the absence of a valid theory of heredity. At the time of Darwin's writing, science had yet to develop modern theories of genetics. The union of traditional Darwinian evolution with subsequent discoveries in classical genetics formed the modern synthesis of the mid-20th century. The addition of molecular genetics has led to evolutionary developmental biology, which explains evolution at the molecular level. While genotypes can slowly change by random genetic drift, natural selection remains the primary explanation for adaptive evolution.


Anyone who is not included or doesn't have access to the web or knowledge about how to exploit the web or use the web to sort of improve their lives is at risk of exclusion. People's lives are going to be improved because they can shop online, they can save money, they can actually access learning, they can connect with friends and family. Being included means using things like Skype and connecting with grandparents and families and all sorts of things like that. So it's really not pushing the agenda in terms of technology, but really pushing the agenda in terms of how it's relevant to individuals in their lives. One of the biggest issues for us is ensuring access for everybody and I think you know if we can, I mean from the work that I do, I certainly see different levels of competence and experience across the sector, different in North Wales, Mid Wales, West Wales and I would say that there's still a lot of work to be done really in ensuring that all our population have a minimum level of digital literacy, internet literacy so that they can get the most from technology and I think there are wonderful initiatives from the libraries in Wales, right down to the BBC, to Community 2.0, which is a big flagship programme of digital inclusion programme in Wales. I think there are lots of wonderful projects happening and I think it's a work in progress. The training here at ETHO is fantastic because the group is just so marvellous, so keen to learn and so interested. One of our oldest members is around 86. The skills are changing their lives in that they can communicate more with their family so if they've got a family living away they can share photos, send emails, they've been using it in the Tennis and Residence Association for writing up minutes and making posters to advertise their meetings and events.

We are gonna do a good old get ready with me. I have a bunch of new products that got sent to me from Hourglass, so I'm going to be doing a full face of that. But first I'm gonna show you how I get a nice good beachy wave. I get asked all the time about how I curl my hair. So a huge thank you to Beach Waiver for sponsoring today's video. I'm gonna show you how I get some effortless looking beachy waves, and it's super quick and simple. I am not good at curling my hair. I could never figure out the clamp. I've curled my hair the same way with the same curling iron for 10 years. So this has really freshened up my curl routine. I love it. It's so good, you guys. So before we get started to prep the hair, I am going to use the Beach Waiver Great Barrier Heat Protectant Hair Spray. It smells amazing, so make sure you shake it before you use it, and I'm gonna hold it about 10 to 12 inches away from my hair, and I'm gonna spray my dry hair. Oh, it smells amazing. I feel like this really preps the hair before I go through it with a heated appliance. You know, it has a hair spray kind of feel to it, so it doesn't make the hair wet, which is really great, so you don't have to wait for your hair to dry or anything before you start styling. And I do need a good hold. You guys know I have very wavy, frizzy hair, but I like that this is very flexible feeling. It doesn't make your hair feel like straw. And then of course, with it being a heat protected hair spray, it also creates a protective barrier from the heat, especially if you're somebody who heat styles a lot. Now let's get into the curling iron. I have seen this everywhere. I've been so intrigued, and I'm here to confirm. It's so awesome as somebody who cannot curl their hair or style their hair very well. This makes it super easy. So I've seen this everywhere because it's won over 50 beauty awards, because it's not good. It has a ceramic rod that is going to protect the hair. And then you'll see these little buttons right here. It's a ceramic rotating curling iron that does the work for people like me who don't know how to use a clamp curling iron. Also what I think is really important for any heated tool that I use on my hair, this has an adjustable digital temperature. So this is the lowest heat, medium and high. Today I'm going to use the medium heat. There also is a custom internal heater for even heat distribution in here as well. And I really see that every bit of my hair that touches this iron does get a nice, even go-peat. All right, so let me show you how I do it. So I did go through with a flat iron and smooth out my hair really quick before styling. If you have wavy or frizzy hair, that's going to make it a lot easier and quicker. Though I have used this curling iron with my natural frizzy texture, and this works great. I just use the highest heat. But I want it to be extra long lasting today. You guys know I live in a very humid climate. So that's why I smoothed my hair out today. So let me show you how I do this. The very bottom of the iron, there is a very small clamp but it's not complicated at all to use. And I'm gonna put the end of my hair in the clamp. And then there's two different directions that you can go. So it might take a little bit of practice to get used to the correct button. And then you just let it do its thing like that. Hold it for like one to two seconds. And then you pull and release the clamp and you have a beautiful curl. We're just gonna let this set while we work on the rest of the hair. Now you can twist and turn the direction that the curls go. So you can have them facing forward or back. Typically I like half of my head to be going the same direction and then the opposite direction on the other half. But if you want yours to curl inwards or outwards you have that option. Grabbing the next chunk. And you get used to it pretty quickly. I would say after the first time I used it I was a pro. And it doesn't take that long. You see it really does evenly distribute the heat to the hair. I actually think I'm gonna put it on a lower setting since my hair is already so smooth. Let's do the opposite side. So I'm gonna go the opposite direction with this. And we'll clean up the loose strands towards the end. I'm going to do this the whole way around the rest of my hair and I'll be back to show you what I do next. All right, so I did the general curl through. I'm gonna show you how I make it beachy. Keep in mind this is the curls at their tightest phase. So they're going to become more beachy as the day goes on. And I naturally, as you guys know, have extremely frizzy hair. I live in a humid climate. So I'm not going to rush out my hair with a hair brush so I do recommend that if you don't struggle with frizzy hair. For me, girls with frizzy hair, I'm gonna shake my hair up and down like this. You see that kind of loosened them up and made me very dizzy. And then I'm gonna use my fingers and lightly finger brush. But I like to keep mine tighter in the beginning because they will fall so much prettier as time goes on. But doesn't that look so good even to start? So I will show you a clip right here of how my hair looks after a few hours after the curls have fallen. And you'll see we have those really beautiful beachy ways. You can definitely get a head start by using a hair brush to brush these out, but I definitely like to wait. I find that the curls do look really great, second and third day. So if you want your curls to last longer, they also have the second chance dry shampoo. So this rice-based formula, it absorbs oil, it adds volume and fullness as well on those second and third hair days. All you're gonna do to use it is shake well, then you're going to spray six to eight inches away and spray towards your roots. And then once your oils are absorbed, then you can brush through. So I'll probably use this tomorrow to get the most out of my curls. But anyways, I have a discount code for you guys if you want to pick up anything from Beach Weaver. I've also really been enjoying their shampoo and conditioner. So here's the discount code for you guys to use that checkout. Again, a huge thank you to Beach Weaver for sponsoring today's video. Let's get into the makeup. So like I said earlier, I'm super grateful because Hourglass surprised me and sent me a lot of products. And I have not tried as many products from Hourglass as I thought I had. There are so many different formulas that they sent me that I wanted to play with today. I also thought it was a good opportunity to bring out some products from Hourglass that I haven't used in a while. So let's get started with something that is really popular that if I have tried it, it's been years and I don't even remember. I think I've probably tried this in a sample size, but yeah, it's a new age. I don't know. I just feel like since it's been a while, since I've tried it and I don't even remember, my makeup preferences has changed so much in the last few years, especially given how much more makeup I've tried. So I'm excited to try this. This is the Hourglass, obviously, Vanish Airbrush Primer. This is really popular. So let's see what this is about. So this is the packaging really luxurious as expected. I do have sunscreen from Mystine on my face for prep and that kind of gave me a little extra hydration, but that's all I have right now. No moisturizer or anything. Ooh, this is really smooth. Okay, wait. I definitely have never tried this primer before because I don't remember ever trying anything from Hourglass that had this consistency. It reminds me of a smoother version of the Tatcha Liquid Silk Canvas. Like it feels really similar to that, but I would say a bit creamier, maybe a touch more hydrating. I'll have to go side by side. They're both quite expensive products and brands, so. But okay, yeah. I see why this is popular, at least on first use. I'll have to continue using this, but that's nice. That is really, really nice. Okay, so I have no idea if this is going to be my color, but I've also never tried this before. This is the Illusion Hyaluronic Skin Tint. It also has sunscreen in it. I'm gonna see the type of coverage this gives. If I need more, I will go into my Vanish Stick. So, they sent me the shade Warm Ivory as well, so I'm not sure how the color is gonna go down with this either. Going to use this foundation brush as well that they sent me. Since I'm a foundation brush fan now, I used to not like foundation brushes at all and would not have even wasted my time trying this brush in the past, but now I like foundation brushes, so we're gonna try this. Oh, this is gonna be way too light for me. I'm just gonna put this on the inner part of my face. Yeah, so I'm not gonna be able to really fully review this, because this is not my shade. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna just push it into the center of my face, kind of where naturally we would highlight. Oh, that actually looks really pretty though. So shame. Honestly, because it is so like coverage though, it really is not that bad, but I do wanna mix it in with my stick foundation because that's a little deeper. Honestly, it looks really pretty on the skin. Like I feel like it looks smoothing. There's a little bit of it right here that didn't get blended out as well. The airbrushed over my skin just a little bit. I like that. I'm gonna take some of the Vanish Foundation Stick though. I don't love this. I think it's a bit too thick for my preferences. Mine is honestly a little dried out, so. But I'm just gonna use a little bit of it to blend in with the Skin Tint. So I do like the Vanish Stick Foundation when I blend it in with like a lighter coverage product or a serum foundation, anything like that. But on its own, it is a bit too thick for my preferences. So it's perfect that I'm kind of mushing it in with this Skin Tint. This foundation brush is not bad. It's a little intense. Like I do feel like I want to go in with a sponge after this. I would say it's a touch on the dense side. So I'm just gonna go in with a sponge afterwards over top. So here's how we're looking. Honestly, I think that that is really pretty. Now, I didn't get the full experience with this since I did mix it in with the foundation stick. But I feel like it gives a nice blurred appearance to the skin. I am gonna go ahead and apply the Vanish Concealer. I already own this. I'm not that big of a fan of it. I think it's a little heavy and settles into fine lines. So what I'm actually gonna do, I have some of the Illusion Hyaluronic Acid Skin Tint on my hand. And I'm gonna mix the Concealer and the Skin Tint to kind of lighten up the concealer. And see if that does anything. I don't know, we're just playing around. So I'm gonna go ahead and use the Hourglass Concealer Brush. And I'm gonna blend these two together. And I'm gonna push it on the inner part of the eye. Ooh, I like this brush. This is a nice, soft brush. I'm gonna lightly blend these two products on the under eye. That looks nice. A little dry, which is just generally how I feel the concealer makes my under eyes look. Keeping the amount of product a little on the lighter side. So I would say my under eyes look a little bit on the dry side, but we'll see how it settles and wear. I really do like this concealer brush though. I thought it was perfect for really pushing in the product. But I feel like my skin doesn't look too heavy. It looks really, really good right now. So I have one last cream product that I wanna try on my face before we put any powder down. So excited, I've been dying to try this formula. This is the Hourglass Vanish Blush Stick. I am stoked. Look at all these colors. I think I'm gonna keep it neutral today, because if we have a bolder lip color, I wanna play with that. We'll see where the world takes us. So here is what the stick looks like and I chose the shade Wonder. I think that this is just going to be a really great natural color. Let's swatch it. It has some pigment, so. I'm gonna take just a little bit on the foundation brush and I'm gonna push it into the skin. Just again, I just wanna keep it nice and light. I can always go back and add more. I probably will want to once I put a little bit of powder down. Oh, that's nice. Let me actually try it like this though, just to get a feeling of the product itself. Okay, it's not too much pigment, which I like and it's blending out pretty nice. It's not too creamy, which actually though, I normally do like a really creamy blush stick. But I like that. I'm gonna have to play with a couple more colors. But I feel like this is one that might have pretty good wear time. And it's not moving around the product underneath and it's buildable, which is good. Oh, my skin just looks so natural. I'm pretty right now. I'm gonna put a little bit on my nose. And keep in mind, most of these items are a first impression review on my end. Keep an eye out and all of these products will be posted in a speed reviews in the future. But my skin looks so good. I don't even wanna put powder on top. But just to set a little bit, I'm gonna use my Vail translucent setting powder. I haven't used this in a while. I'm not obsessed with this powder, but it's good. Gonna try and keep it to a minimum though, because I really like how my makeup looks right now. This powder though is really popular. So a lot of people really like it. Gonna get the center. You know what? This powder is really great for lightweight makeup if you like a lot of creams because it doesn't sit too powdery on the skin. It really just does set the makeup without looking like you put too heavy of a powder on. So see, I actually haven't used this powder in a while. And I've been into cream makeup a little bit more lately. So I like the way that this looks. It's not too thick of a powder, which is important for living in Florida. I'm gonna pop a little bit of bronzer on. This I believe you are still able to get. This is the Ambient Lighting Edit Universe. This is from the most recent holiday collection. I'm gonna go in with this shade right here, Hourglass. If you don't know, has the best powders on the market. I'm so serious. If you want to invest in a really good, beautiful everyday powder, it needs to be Hourglass. Whether that be bronzer, blush, highlight, finishing powder, Hourglass has the best of them all. So I just put a little bit of that bronzer. Do you see how beautifully that blended into the skin? It has a very, very natural sheen to it that looks so gorgeous in real life when you're out in the sun. I'm just gonna go ahead and continue using this brush. This is a refer number five, and I'm gonna get a pop of the blush in here. Just gonna set the cream blush a little bit. It's a little bit more pink than what I used, but I feel like these palettes are not cheap, so I'm gonna get my use out of them. I love grabbing these. I use these so often though. And then for highlight, this is one of my favorite products from Hourglass. This is the Ambient Strobe Light Highlighting Palette. It has the most glistening, beautiful highlights. This is like the most intense highlights that Hourglass has. I'm gonna go ahead and use this Champagne one, and I'm just gonna put this on the high points of my cheek and blend it in.  This is the Soft Focus Setting Spray. This is very, very popular, so I'm excited to go ahead and try it out. Here's what the bottle looks like. Nice, fine mist. Refreshing, I love it. I usually do a pretty thick layer. I mean, I will say right now my skin looks fantastic, really natural. It might look a tad bit dry on the under eyes. Again, it's just the concealer. I'm just not a fan of it. It doesn't like my eyes. I'm gonna go ahead and do eyebrows because I don't have any eyebrow products from Hourglass and we will move on after that. So I went ahead and did this eye without you because honestly I just couldn't wait. I really could not. I was excited. I'm gonna use the concealer brush and I don't have any extra product on here, but whatever is left, I'm gonna go ahead and blur out the eyelid a little bit just like that. I'm gonna go ahead and grab this same bronzer that I used on a blending brush. By the way, the bronzer's name is Glistening Bronze Light. Sometimes you're able to buy the bronzers in an individual and I'm going to blend that in the crease. I actually ended up doing a little bit more on this eye than I intended on. And then I'm gonna use one of the scattered light glitter eyeshadows that they sent me. I did a review on these when they first came out. I think my mom has them all now so I don't have any. So I'm excited. That's why I couldn't wait.  I got sent three other shades. These are incredible. Just take a look. And I definitely wanted to go ahead and use the green one because as you can see I also used green eyeliner. So I thought it'd be fun to do a green look. I was gonna keep it really neutral on the eyes and do like a champagne shade and go crazy with the lips. And then I saw the green and I was like, that's it, you're going on my eyes. Okay, I'm gonna go back into my brush now. Blend the edges. But yeah, this is just super easy to work with glitter product. It's really, really lightweight.  As you can see, it just looks so beautiful. So these are really great glitter option for mature eyelids because they aren't thick. They don't get clumpy on the eye. And then eyeliner. I think this is a newer product from Hourglass. These are the waterproof gel liners. They sent me five different shades and I've been into testing different colored eyeliners. I have like a chestnut shade, a dark gray shade, obsidian. Solstice is a lighter shade but then I saw the shade full wrist. That's when I knew I needed to use this. So this is what the eye pencil looks like. Okay, and it's not a sharpenable eye pencil. It is a twist up. Let me show you. So these have a really great glide to them. They're quite creamy. So as you can see, there's no drag on the eyelid. Now, one of the most recent eyeliners that I've been talking about lately is the Bobbi Brown The Best Pencil for comparison's sake, if you're curious. These are definitely creamier whereas I would say the Jones Road is more powdery. This one is a true like cream consistency. I like how easy it is to use.  I'm gonna make sure you get in between the lashes and the tight line. Guys, this pencil is so pretty. I've never used a dark green eyeliner. So I can't speak on the longevity of these eyeliners, but I did enjoy the application. It was a very, very smooth, easy application. You have a little bit of play time to, you know, smudge it out, blend it out, all of that. So I will have to keep you updated in my updates videos, but I really like that. Oh, I also put just a little bit like right on like the outer fourth of my lower lash line. And I took a refer number three brush and I smudged it out. So you have play time with this to blend it out, which I like. How fun. I feel like this is like wearable, but still a little different. And when you do looks like these, like whether it be navy, brown, green, it will help make your eye color pop. So if you look on a color wheel or an eye color chart for makeup, you'll see what colors make your eyes pop. I have brown eyes, so a lot of colors make my eyes pop, but this is making the brown in my eyes pop. Okay, we have the Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extentress Mascara. This is a tubing mascara, which I'm really excited about. I'm a huge fan of tubing mascaras for the summer just because it's waterproof.  That's what my biggest turnoff is with waterproof mascaras is how hard they are to take off.  But the one looks like even with tubing mascaras, I don't normally like them on the first use, so I might not like this and that's okay. I'm gonna have to use it more. I'll have to see how this holds the curl too. Honestly, not bad. Let me do the other eye. Here's how the mascara looks. I'm going to actually not put on falsies today so I can see how this holds the curl, but I think that this is a nice mascara. I like it. We're going very natural today. I have a couple lip products to mess around with, so we have the Voluminizing Glossy Balm. This looks really interesting. I have the shade Thrill. I got a few other shades sent to me, but I don't know, this is the one that I grabbed. It looks like it might be very dramatic. It has a twist up. Let's see. So a Voluminizing Glossy Balm. Okay, this is brighter than I wanted it to be. Okay, it reminds me of the M Cosmetics. Kind of has a version of this. This one's a little bit thicker though. It has more oomph to it. Yeah, it is like a lip balm slash gloss hybrid. There's a little bit of mintiness to it. Good amount of coverage. I don't think I want to use this shade, but I also have a different formula that I wanted to try, but I wanted to test this out because it looked really interesting. It feels super duper hydrating though. I also want to try a lip cream. I've never tried this formula either, so I think this is the color that looks the best. For me, this is the lip cream in the shade Luxe Velvet Story. So let's apply that and we'll put another one of the gloss balms on top. Let's see, this is kind of like a mauve-y color. Hm, this has a blurring effect on the lips. I feel like I needed to use a lip liner with this product, but that's fine. Oh yeah, so this is definitely a lip cream. It's not a liquid lipstick, so it's not going to sit down or last a long time, but it's very comfortable. It smooths over the fine lines on the lips. So I feel like this would be good for mature skin. This color is very pretty, very wearable. I don't even know that any of these glossy balm colors are going to go good on top. I'm going to give Lucid a try. Lucid looks like it's a little bit more corally. I don't know, these are quite pigmented. I'm just going to put a little bit on top. I mean, I do like these, but I definitely need to continue using these to see how they last because I worry that they might swim into fine lines outside of the lips. So that's something I'm going to have to keep an eye on, but I mean, this is the makeup look today. I have to say up close before I zoom out, my makeup looks fantastic. This is a beautiful everyday look. I feel like a lot of these products are super mature skin friendly, doesn't look heavy on my skin, looks like a really nice light layer. My skin looks hydrated, a very simple yet impactful and flattering eye look. It was super easy to do. I mean, Hourglass Point Blank, they produce really great products, and I knew this before, but I got to try a lot of new products that I'd never tried before today, and they've kept up their reputation with me. That's for sure. This makeup was super successful. So let me get myself together, zoom myself out, and I'll see you guys out.  So overall, I mean, I did not try a single dot in today's video. The only new thing that I'd never tried about before that I really feel like I need to test some more is the skin tint, but half of that is just it's not the correct shade for me, but everything that I tried was so stinking good. This was a successful get ready with me. So a huge thank you to the team over at Hourglass for sending me all this stuff to try, even though I felt like I tried everything, that was not the case. I will have all of the products that I use on my face down below. Make sure you comment down below and share your favorite and least favorite Hourglass products, give me your skin type, all of that details, let's help each other out, and also a huge thank you to Beach Waiver for sponsoring today's video. You can see my curls are starting to settle in and I have this really pretty beachy wave. I like to keep the curls around my face a little bit on the tighter side, but it's wearing so beautifully.
