how to work with CJ dropshipping, one of the best suppliers that we can work with today on our dropshipping business. CJ dropshipping has maybe not been around for a while, at least not as long as Aliexpress and Alibaba, but they are a direct competitor to them and are actually much better in so many ways. In this video, I'm going to talk about CJ dropshipping, how to work with them, a full overview on the supplier and everything that you can do with them and how to profit in your dropshipping business. So just watch this quick intro and let's begin. What's up, everybody? Hope you're all having a wonderful day today. My name is Iran from AutoDS. I'm the content manager and I've also been dropshipping for the last several years. And in this video, I'm going to talk about CJ dropshipping, one of the best suppliers that we can add to our dropshipping businesses today and really grow with them and profit. So everything that I'm going to talk about is already written in the blog, which I'll leave a link to right below this video. But in my videos, I always like to add in some extra value. So let's get on with the show. One second before that, if you're new to our channel, this is the part where you need to subscribe to always stay updated on all of the latest and all of the hottest topics that we have coming out in the dropshipping world. That being said, let's go right on ahead to it. Who is CJ dropshipping? Why are they here? And what can we do with them? CJ dropshipping started as a small Chinese supplier, but in the last few years, they definitely expanded themselves. Today, I think they have over eight warehouses around the world and the US warehouses are the best selling ones. They quickly found out that dropshippers are for them. Unlike AliExpress where AliExpress started as a seller to end consumer platform. And in time, dropshippers quickly got on this trend and started dropshipping off of AliExpress. And then AliExpress made some transitions to make themselves much more dropshipping user-friendly because they found out that dropshippers make up for most of their sales. CJ dropshipping on the other hand, they started as a from dropshipper for dropshipper platform. So right off the bat, their service is only for dropshippers. They do not sell to end customers unlike AliExpress. So everything that they've built around their system, everything that CJ dropshipping has done from day one has been strictly and directly for dropshippers. So that's just a little history. Now let's get on with the show. And in the next few minutes in this video, I'm going to explain to you guys exactly why they are one of the best dropshipping suppliers that we have available today and how they are different from any other supplier that I have tried working with. Okay, so what are some of the benefits of working with CJ dropshipping? The first one, they have a huge variety of products. Let me just show you their website. So here is CJ dropshipping's website. As you can see, it kind of resembles AliExpress's website where you got the categories on the left side, a rotating banner here in the middle. And the categories even look the same. They have the same words and maybe even the same icons, I'm not sure. But when you hover over them, you get all the subcategories on the right. So once again, it really resembles AliExpress's layout, at least their basic layout. And they got flash sales, flash deals, just like AliExpress. The reason that I'm showing you guys that they very much resemble AliExpress is just so you can see the comparison and that they are really trying to compete with them. They're seeing exactly what their main competitor is doing and they're implementing the same practices on their website, which is very similar to the advice that I'm always giving you guys when it comes to looking at what your competitors are doing, whether it's their Shopify stores or the products that they're selling on eBay or Shopify or Facebook or any other selling platform, you copy your best competitors practices and do the same things on your store. Do not copy the same products one by one, but do find similar ones and so forth. So always get inspired by your main competitors, which is what they did over here. But at the end of the day, they offer a much better package than AliExpress, especially when it comes to dropshippers because they only sell to dropshippers. We're going to get to all of that really, really soon. So here's CJ Dropshipping's main website and as you can see, they have a lot of categories, lots of subcategories and lots of products which we didn't get to yet. Another great advantage of working with CJ Dropshipping is that they have US warehouses. So a lot of their inventory is already inside a US warehouse and they can ship it out from the US to the US anywhere between two to five days. Some products you have to pay for shipping, others you won't have to and there's a link right here which can take you straight to the USA warehouse. Or you can simply search for any product on CJ Dropshipping and simply filter it by the US warehouse as you can see over here. And as you can see, they also have a warehouse in Thailand, China, Germany, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, Canada and we can go on and on and on and on. So as time passes, I can see that more and more warehouses are being added to this list. CJ Dropshipping wants to be one of the biggest suppliers or local suppliers that's available all around the world. So a worldwide supplier that's available everywhere. So in our case, we're talking about the US. So we're going to search for products for any product that they have in the US warehouse. So right now there's a search with no words at all. So I'm just getting all kinds of random products from a US warehouse or I can search for something specific. But let's just go inside any product and see what we have in store. It'll take me to the product page where I can get more information about the product. But I want to show you that it's actually coming out of a US warehouse. So here we have this electric van, car, dual head cooling. So it's two fans for your car that are USB operated shipping from a US warehouse. So this product costs $19.78. And as you can see, we got free shipping over here. So we're shipping from the US to the US. This product will arrive anywhere between three to seven days standard US shipping estimated delivery time three to seven days shipping costs $0 tracking information available. So that's how you know that the products are coming out of US warehouses. And that is one of the biggest advantages when working with CJ drop shipping. There are so many warehouses to choose from. Therefore you can ship quickly to any country that you want. Just search for the product, see if it matches your warehouse, see if it matches your location, put up that product up for sale. And when people buy it, they will see that it will arrive fast to their country. And that is going to give you a nice competitive edge over your competition. Another reason to work with CJ drop shipping is because they have reliable customer support. So for any problem that you may be having, you can simply on the top right, go to their support center, click on ticket. And here you can open a ticket, wait for them to get back to you, which is usually quick, or you can even open a live chat as you see here on the bottom left and get a representative to chat with you live on any problem that you may be having. So customer service is one of the most important parts when it comes to running a successful drop shipping business for the long term. And this is one of the things that we really want to pay attention to make sure that the suppliers that we are working with have good customer service that we can pass on to our buyers. So reliable customer support, check on that. Another great advantage of working with CJ drop shipping is that you can source products and negotiate to get better prices. So this is something that a lot of people are doing, not too many people have too much field experience when it comes to sourcing products, but you should know that CJ drop shipping does have an option to source your products, you can even buy inventory, you can buy stock from a Chinese warehouse, store it in a US warehouse. So if for example, you have a product that is selling well, but it's coming from China and the shipping times are slow, you can ask CJ drop shipping to source this product for you, you can get a quote, they will quote you for, let's say you want to get 100 pieces of some teddy bear from China. So there's a place where you can post a sourcing request. Once again, all the links that I'm clicking on, everything that I'm showing you guys, I remind you is on the blog in the link below this video. So what I can do in this sourcing request, I can click on individual product and here I can tell CJ drop shipping, Hey, look, I got this product, either it's selling really well for me. So can you get me a price if I want to get 300 of this unit and store it in your warehouses so they can source this product, find it from Chinese suppliers and get a nice quote for you to ship some inventory to CJ drop shipping's warehouse. You can also check with suppliers by yourself, see how much it's going to cost and then talk to CJ drop shipping about how much it's going to cost to store those products in their warehouse. So you can do it both ways. And another thing that you can do here is you can simply tell them, Hey, look, there's this product that's selling really well. Maybe you guys should bring it to your stock or allow me to drop ship it so you can either make a bulk purchase, ask for a quote for a bulk purchase or click on drop shipping and give them the URL of a product that's selling really well. And simply what you're doing here is you're recommending them to get this product to a US warehouse or to any other regions warehouse because you know that this product is going to sell well for them. So you can do two things here. They both work really well. And this is a great benefit when it comes to working with CJ drop shipping. I can't think of too many suppliers that give all of these benefits all in one package from one supplier. There's only one at this point and it is CJ drop shipping. Another great benefit of working with them is that you can combine several packages in one package or several products in one package. So in other words, today, for example, when you're buying products, for example, from Amazon or Home Depot or Walmart or even Ali Express, Lowe's Home Depot or any supplier that you can think of. Once you add several products, they are not coming from the same warehouse. So if one customer buys five products from your store, and you buy those products and ship it out to that customer, they're going to get their packages at different times and different days, which is not practical or convenient at all. But when buying from CJ drop shipping, five different items, but from the same warehouse, they will all be packaged up under the same package. So the customer is only going to get one package on one day. And that is going to make it that much more convenient. So several products under one package is another great advantage that we have when working with CJ drop shipping. Another great benefit is that you can add white label branding. This means that if you're already running your own brand, and you want each package to come out with a specific box or a specific brand in specific brand packaging, then you can do that simply reach out to CJ drop shipping, tell them all the orders coming out of my account, I want it to be done like this with that, they will tell you what they need on their side to make that work. And that is how you can get white label branding on your packages easily with CJ drop shipping. Again, I can't think of one supplier that can put all of these packages, all of these benefits under one supplier, set for CJ drop shipping, which is what makes it so great to work with. Now when it comes to return policies, it may not be as simple as other methods like Amazon Prime where you have 30 days, no questions asked whatsoever. CJ drop shipping does make it a little bit more difficult when it comes to returns. So thank God that returns don't make up for most of our work. It's just a small percentage, but it's very important to take this into account. So they have no problem with returns, no problem with refunds and replacements. But just like any other Chinese supplier, they'd rather not get the product shipped back, they would want you to work it out with your buyer. Maybe they can send you some kind of compensation depends on really what the problem is and you can move that on to your buyer. At the end of the day, they'd rather not get the packages back. If something arrived damage or didn't arrive on time, you can always reach out to CJ drop shipping, they'll send another package out and that will fix that problem. But it really depends on what the problem is and what you can do and how they can help you solve it. So if you want to learn about CJ drop shippings return policies, we have a link to it in the blog, which I said again is right below this video. But if you want to go over their refund policies, they have a full page for that very, very descriptive. And again, you can always reach out to their customer support for any problem that you're having and they will do their best to help you out just as you're doing your best to help out your buyers. Everybody's looking for customer satisfaction. We all understand that the long term survivability over drop shipping business relies very much on customer service. So go over the refund policies a little bit and always know that you can reach out to them on any problem that you have. Now, one of the biggest advantages of working with the supplier is the next benefit that I'm going to talk to you guys about. They have POD, which means print on demand. So you can actually drop ship print on demand products. And this is really, really great. Let me show you what I mean. So I'm going to click on the printful print on demand solution link on the blog, or just go to CJ drop shipping. And on the top bar, you'll have the print on demand link. So it's going to take you to this page print on demand you sell we print print and ship on demand worldwide. So what you can do here is pretty self explanatory. You can sell products to your customers and ask them how they want to customize it, what text they want to add to the t shirt or to whatever it is that they are buying. So if you have a pet niche or if you have a general store, definitely, definitely check out print on demand and see if your customer base fits this model. A lot of people love to customize their orders and not many drop shippers know how to do it. Usually people who put up with print on demand, people who sell it are those that actually do the printing and the customizing. So it's usually not drop shippers, which means there's not a lot of sellers who are doing it, especially not drop shippers. But now you definitely can. So let's find a product to customize and add a print on demand. So here are some hoodies. Let's go for that. Okay, so here is the hoodie product page. And I want to customize it at my customer's text over here. So what I'm going to do first is choose a variation that I would like to customize. So let's say I sold this variation, I pause my game to be here, and we'll go with a size large shipping from a China warehouse. That's the only choice that I have in this example inventory, we can leave it as it is shipping method to the United States. And here you can choose the shipping carrier. So as you can see usps will arrive in just seven to 13 days. And that will cost $9 and 36 cents or $9 and 87 cents anywhere in between. You can also go with CJ packet ordinary, which in this case, it might make the package take a few days longer, but you can still save here like half a dollar. In this case, I would definitely go for usps and pay a little bit more and get a really satisfied customer for faster shipping. So I chose my variation. Now what I want to do is scroll down and click on start design. This is where we're going to customize what we want to be written on our print on demand shirt. So as you see here, there's already a text saying I pause my game to be here. So what we can do here is work with layers as you can see here. And if you want to choose a different variation, you can also do so here. So since we already have a picture and text here, they're not giving us an option to add text. Usually that option should be here. But we do have an option to upload an image so we can replace this image with another one. But that wouldn't make much sense. In this case, you can simply click on this link, which will show you the back version of this hoodie. And here on the back, we can really upload any image that we want. For example, I can click on upload image, it'll open up your file browser window. Here, I'll just click on any picture, like some Australian dollars. And here we go Australian dollar photo. So in this case, what I'm doing is I'm adding this picture and it will be placed right inside this orange square that we see here. So in other cases, you can also add text to variations on CJ drop shipping that is in their print on demand section, you can add photos, you can add text, and you can really customize your buyer shopping experience and make your store different than anyone else's print on demand is one of the best aspects when it comes to drop shipping. Once again, because not a lot of people are doing it. And you can really be one of the first to utilize it without buying all of the shirts in advance and buying inventory before you sell them. So print on demand, one of the best features that we have on CJ drop shipping. Another reason to use them is that they can offer you a service to make professional videos for a product that you are selling well. So if there is any product that you are selling well, and there is no video for that product, you can reach out to CJ drop shipping, tell them, Hey, I'm selling this product really well. Can you make a video for this product? And they will guide you through that process. Here, there's a page where you can see how they are implementing what I just explained. So video for winning products. Here they can give you that same service that I just talked about making great images, which usually you won't want to go for images. Usually your products should have images, but you can ask them to make white backgrounds, transparent backgrounds, as you can see here and so forth. But really the banger here is the videos. If you're drop shipping, for example, on Shopify, videos is one of the best ways to showcase your products. So if you're missing a video for your product, CJ drop shipping has you covered. Now the next thing that I want to talk about is product finding. Aside from providing professional customer service and working really hard on the customer service part, the other part that you need to work on really, really hard is your product research and which products you are selling on your store. That's the difference between products that will sell and products that won't sell. And the customer service that you do need to work hard on is for the long term survivability of your drop shipping business product research. How can we find the right products to sell from CJ drop shipping or any other supplier for that matter? Well, there's a few things that you can do, but one of the best things is something that I mentioned a few minutes ago in this video, getting inspired from your competitors, seeing what they are selling, what's going well for them and looking for similar products to the ones that they are selling. You can try to sell the same product, but you will have to obviously change the product description, change the title, change the marketing angle a little bit and so forth. But the best thing that I would do and what I do on my stores is I simply look for similar products, maybe a different variation of that product, a different color or a different size, a product that has the same features but has some more additional features, look for similar products to the ones that are selling from other eBay sellers or from other Shopify sellers or whatever selling platform you are selling on. The second method is to simply use your supplier and search for products there. So let's do that on CJ drop shipping. Here I am on their website. Here on the left side, we have the categories. So let's just go ahead and hop into any category. Anything here would fit the drop shipping business model. So it's not like other suppliers that you have to watch out for and see exactly which categories you're under and seeing if these products are, you know, if you can even resell them. So you won't be having that problem here. So let's go to home garden furniture. Let's go to curtains. Okay, so now I'm getting a whole bunch of curtains and pictures and other home decor products. Now what I would want to do here is search for products that are actually selling well for the supplier. So what I would do is first you can sort it by the best match. This gives you those products that are usually selling the most. And the next thing that you want to do is see the lists. So here you can you're actually checking the popularity of this product. And this icon is showing you free shipping. Now I want to remind you guys if you're working with auto DS, you can include the shipping price always in the product's price. So whether the supplier gives you free shipping or not auto DS knows to take that shipping price added to your product price and still offer free shipping to your customers. So you do not have to worry about the shipping price but do take it into consideration for products that do have shipping prices. So what you want to do here is to check the actual popularity of the product. So one way to do that is the higher the lists, the more popular it is. And if we click on a product like this one for example, let's go inside the product listing. So here is the product page. Now what I want to do is take a look at the product, scroll down and see that there's a lot of information. We got the sizes, we got the product description and we got even more photos. So again, this really much resembles AliExpress' layout but that's not the point here. So first what we can see is everything here is complete and we really don't need anything else to sell this product. But what we do want to do is to see if this product is even popular. We want to check it in the market. So if you're dropshipping on eBay, what you want to do here is copy the product's title, but not all of it. Let's just take what this product is and maybe one feature that it has. So this is an Indian Mandala tapestry wall hanging throw bedspread yoga mat. It's not a yoga mat, decor blackout curtains. So it looks like a hanging wall photo but it's actually a window curtain. So in this case what I'm going to do is search for blackout curtains that have Indian in it. Let's see if we can find something close or something that's selling. So this is a very random product that I just chose but let's just go with it and understand the structure which is the most important thing here. So I'm going to search for blackout curtains, Indian and let's even add blue. Okay, so what I'm seeing here is not the same product that I was seeing on CJ dropshipping. Let's put them side by side to remind you guys what we are trying to sell and what we're actually seeing here. So nothing here looks the same, not even close. The next thing I want to do is see if this product is even popular, like if people are buying this product enough. So here on the left side, we have sold items but not completed items. So I'm going to go back and uncheck completed items. Now I can see items that are being sold that have the words blackout curtains, Indian and blue in them. And as you can see nothing looks like the product that we saw on CJ dropshipping, but all of these products did sell. So today is May 4th and as you can see this product sold on May 2nd, this one sold on April 24th, this one on May 2nd, this one on February, this one on April 2nd. So all of these products did sell in the last month. Let's scroll up a little bit. Here we got May 2nd, April 27th, April 25th. So all in the last week or two. So people are buying products that have blackout curtains and some Indian design in them in the color blue. So maybe this product will sell, maybe we can give it a try. That is just one example of how you want to do it. But since the products there really work curtains and this looks more like a wall photo, I would move on to the next product. But that is a really quick example of how you would want to take a product, search for it on eBay or any other platform that you want to sell on and see if this product is even popular, if it's even selling. So that is one way to conduct your product research. Now remember, CJ dropshipping's got warehouses all around the world. So anytime you see a popular product, you can definitely find it on CJ dropshipping. In a warehouse that's probably closer to your target audience or try it on different warehouses to different regions in different locations and see if the product that is selling well in China or in the US can also sell well in UK or any other country that you can think of. So that is another great thing that we can do with the multiple warehouses that we got and one of the best ways to conduct product research. I would like to end this video with a very nice tip to save you guys a lot of time when it comes to adding products to your dropshipping stores and this method will simply help you get a whole bunch of products. Doesn't matter how much it can be tens to hundreds or even thousands of products at once and simply add them to your dropshipping stores really easily whether you're dropshipping on eBay or Shopify. It really doesn't matter the process is exactly the same. So let's say you've been dropshipping with CJ dropshipping for a while and you finally found a niche that's selling well for you. And what you want to do now is add as many products from that niche as you can to your stores but not do it one by one save as much time as possible so that you can simply invest your time doing other things that will help you grow your dropshipping business and don't get stuck doing simple tasks like this one. So the first thing that you want to do is head over to Google and write down AutoDS Helper. The first page will take you to the AutoDS extension. So AutoDS Helper I'm going to click on the first link here I've got the extension click on the blue link on the right to install it. So what I'm going to do in this case is once you download and install that Chrome extension the AutoDS Helper you'll see the circle here on the bottom.  So once I scroll down all the way I'm going to click on extract and what just happened is all of the product IDs that we see here on the left side all of those 60 products that we have on this page just got extracted into this little small extension. The next step is to click on export as CSV and as you can see a CSV file was just downloaded on my computer as you can see here on the bottom tab there's no need to open this file at all the next step is to head to the AutoDS platform then I'm going to click on add products upload CSV this tab up here and here you can drag and drop that CSV file or click on it to open up your file browser window navigate to the folder where you downloaded that CSV file double click on it processing CSV and file is uploaded my supplier down here I'm going to choose CJ drop shipping as you can see AutoDS supports over 25 suppliers today and we're always working on making that number bigger and bigger the region that we chose in this case was the United States as you can see AutoDS also supports Thailand and of course we are going to add the rest of them if you had to ask now you want to choose your advanced options click on next and start configuring your import settings starting with the general settings the pricing settings shipping and policies and then you can import them to your store add them as a draft or schedule to add them at a later date and time that is how simple it is to add all of those 60 products or however much products you had in that CSV file and add them to your stores in just a few clicks instead of spending days and weeks and months doing this process over and over again so I hope that this will help you save a lot of time when adding products to your stores one more thing worth mentioning is CJ dropshipping payment methods in most cases if we're dropshipping on eBay and Shopify we're usually getting paid through PayPal so with CJ dropshipping every product that we buy everything that we purchase we can pay using the same payment method using PayPal so this way everything stays under the same house and the cash flow is much more efficient for our online business as you can see here they also accept wire transfer credit cards pioneer which is something that a lot of people use and other payment methods so once again it makes it really comfortable and convenient working with CJ dropshipping so we talked about all of the important things when it comes to CJ dropshipping especially the things that really help them stand out with their sourcing fulfillment services print on demand and their photography and video service and also their custom packaging I really hope that you guys found this video informational if you have any questions about CJ dropshipping if there's anything you want to know let me know in the comments below and I will personally answer your suggestions and your comments and once again guys if you're new to our channel this is the part where you need to subscribe to always stay updated on all of the latest and all of the hottest topics that we have coming out in the dropshipping world that is always being created from dropshippers for dropshippers such as yourselves thank you for watching good luck with CJ dropshipping see you in the future videos


So I'm not buff enough to do this video shirtless, but if that's what you came here for, here's a brief montage of me working out that you should probably skip because it's not not going to be impressive. I've never had any real desire to go to a strip club. I mean, I almost worked background on an episode of SVU at one. And if that opportunity arises again, I'd most likely take it. But in any other situation, it just doesn't seem like my vibe, then again, what I think that vibe is comes almost entirely from media, dark yet colorfully lit rooms filled with sketchy men who want to either exploit the performers or like save them from some imagined horror that they must be living through. It doesn't sound appealing. Of course, those are quote unquote gentlemen's clubs specifically. There's a whole other kind that virtually never gets popularly depicted on screen, the male strip club. Sure, I have seen plenty of male strippers in movies, but it's always in the form of some joke being played on an unsuspecting protagonist, a scantily clad police officer shows up and starts taking it all off. Ha ha, good joke. But the joke is never at the stripper's expense. And that's kind of weird, right? Like, I'm sure this has already been delved into way better than I ever could. But it feels like another example of the general double standard we have around sexuality. Women are simultaneously over sexualized and criticized for owning their sexuality, while men don't face nearly that sort of stigma from either direction.  But that disrespect has different implications. Point is, based on a sample size of two movies in one franchise, male performer strip clubs seem like they're a lot more fun than their male targeted counterparts. I didn't see the Magic Mike movies for years because why would I? I like series creator Steven Soderbergh and star Channing Tatum, but neither enough to put the films at the top of my never ending list of things I should see until film Crit Halt came along beating the drum of the second film, Magic Mike XXL in particular. As one of only two people I follow on Twitter despite having never met slash worked with, I take his recommendations very seriously, even if I don't always agree with them. In the talk back after my London show which took place the afternoon after I attended the performance being discussed in this video, cool dude Christopher Lewis told me that he almost always disagrees with my conclusions, but he still watches my reviews because he enjoys following the logic that gets me to them. I thought about that a lot over the past couple months, but it was enough to get me to watch them both. And you know what? Maybe it is my thing, even if it's not my thing. Hello by the way and welcome to the week air of you, you can call me confident in my sexuality. And today I am talking about Magic Mike Live, an honest to gosh live show running in both London where I saw it and Las Vegas where I feel increasingly confident I will never go. Twitter is to blame and slash or thank for this too. Without it I'd have never known that reefer madness co-star Kristen Bell said that seeing Magic Mike Live was better than her wedding night after which former male stripper Channing Tatum tweeted an apology to Veronica Mars nepotism cameo Dax Shepard. It was one of those silly celebrity things that ended up on my timeline somehow right as I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do when I was in London. And it was a flash of different in a West End schedule that was virtually identical to Broadway's. Between Bell's ringing endorsement and hearing that the live show inspired Sotterberg to come back for a third entry in the film franchise I mean it had to be cool. But what was it like was it a play set in the Magic Mike universe or a recreation of the types of dance shows that we see depicted in the films with some cinematic branding. The only thing I knew was that it had some feminist bent but that could mean anything or frankly nothing. How much story were we in for? As it turns out exactly enough. It is a pretty jarring intro though as a particularly misogynistic host comes out and starts making jokes at the audience. He tells women to show them her tits and when one girl obliged she said that if he were her son he would have never stopped breastfeeding that kind of thing. And it escalates and escalates until all of a sudden an on-stage incident sparks the voice of Channing Tatum as God or something. I don't know to banish all of the sexism and put a woman in charge by giving her Magic Mike. At the same time one of the servers named Mike gets pulled on stage and is invited to learn the ropes so that he can impress the ladies like the other dancers do. From there we transition almost entirely to the dancing slash musical performance portion of the evening as these absurdly muscular men start bumping and grinding and all sorts of moving on the stage and slash or consenting members of the crowd. And consent is the key word there. One repeated over and over again by both host and performers and that's great because consent is great. Seriously consent is the best and something that you need to get and maintain throughout any sort of sexual encounter. The instant somebody stops consenting the interaction has to end. And I'm going to be real. It feels bad. I've been in situations where people changed their minds or decided they didn't want to continue and and it made me feel awful.  Your feelings don't matter in that moment. There's do. Although I will say there were a couple of moments where it felt like the structure of the show pushed back on the sort of affirmative consent idea into a generally assumed if you're here you want this because certain dancers went around the crowd so fast that there wasn't enough time to really check in with everyone. I found this slightly odd in the context of the show but at the same time it's probably true that all of the women in the room did in fact want those muscles all up in the business.  I realized pretty quickly that there were more women with bride tiaras than there were men wearing any sort of shirt. And while there were a couple of throwaway mentions of us by the host this show was explicitly not for us. And that's fine. I don't think that every space needs to cater to every type of person. Last year I went to non-binary poet-turned-comic Alok's first stand-up show and Good Golly with that experience have triggered all them right-wing boys. Nearly half of the jokes were aimed directly at straight people, white people, or cis men. My politics are better than most of my described cohorts or the most cutting lines kind of glanced off me but it was still clear that I was in someone else's space. But I can still have a good time. The set was fine but Alok wasn't totally comfortable with the specificity of stand-up performance and so flubbed some punchlines here and there. I look forward to seeing them in a couple years after they've really gotten the hang of it. I wish I could remember the name of the opener who's another non-binary comedian who was funny as heck and clearly more practiced. But the New York Comedy Festival doesn't list their openers even though I tweeted at them like four years ago asking for that when I went to see someone who has since been canceled. Whoops, as long as I'm respectful and there for the right reasons.  But if my friend is having a birthday party at Ryze, I'm a go. I put a five-dollar bill in a drag queen's cleavage. It was an awesome time. What was I talking about? All right, watching men take their clothes off. Point is it is okay to try things that aren't meant for you. I recommend it.  Worst-case scenario, you have a bad time. Best-case scenario, your mind is absolutely blown by a sensual Cirque du Soleil-esque rope act. Magic Mike Live is the best-case scenario. I wish I could show you some of this stuff. I had the opportunity to, like they encouraged us to take photos and video, but while I fully intended to capture more than the very beginning and ending, I was just too captivated by it. And I knew this video wouldn't do well enough to justify me missing some amazing moment because I was fiddling with settings. I could describe to you that aerial piece or the equally incredible water dance or whatever, but why even a recording wouldn't do the thing justice. You've got to see it yourself to really appreciate just how skilled these performers are. And that's the thing that us men, and especially straight men, apparently don't do. So why is that? I think there's two reasons that most men would only cop to the obvious one, which is that it's kind of gay. The reason straight men don't go to things meant to sexually gratify straight women is because we're sexually gratified by different things. And if we weren't, then at least one of us wouldn't be straight now, would we? Magic Mike Live is explicitly and intensely sexual, and I can see why that would be a turn off.  I've said before that I really like watching talented people be talented, and that's what this show is. Each of the performers gets a moment to shine, and they shine all upon that audience. So many women were given their moment to feel like a main character. All eyes on them as some dude's abs exfoliated their faces. I didn't feel a little bad for the heavier woman who is serenaded but not actually danced on, but otherwise I was happy for all of the people who are getting exactly what they wanted out of the night. Seeing people be happy is nice. I recommend it. But there's a second and rather darker reason why straight men would avoid a show like this. Jealousy. A lot of men would love to be able to grind up on random women and have them genuinely welcome it. It's literally Mike the Waiter's magic wish that the narrative of this show is ostensibly fulfilling. But I think everyone also understands that if Mike the Waiter were to grind on these very same women outside that venue without explicit permission, they wouldn't welcome it. Again, consent is key, and context is everything. But even if Mike the Waiter and his compatriots only have special permissions to be in women's personal space in this limited context, their giga-chaddliness doesn't go away when the metaphorical curtains close. These men are the Western ideal. Chiseled jaws, rippling pecs, that public V thing that people talk about, like put some spandex on them and they would slot nicely into some cinematic universe. The modern superhero look is everything that regular men aspire to be and that incels commit acts of violence because they can't be, I guess. And I appreciate recently ripped folks like Camille Nanjiani and Rob McLaney being open about the absurd amounts of work they go into achieving and maintaining that kind of physique, the hours of daily training and other sacrifices that have to be made. And if it's not your literal job, is losing the ability to eat donuts really worth having an abdomen that you can use as a tech-deck skate park? No, of course not. I don't know who that joke was for, but I liked it. But that doesn't stop me from feeling deeply conflicted every time I have one and usually throwing it away after a couple bites. It doesn't stop me from staring into the mirror from all angles for far too long every day. It didn't stop me from cutting back my food and water intake for the last couple of days, so I'd be just a little more spelt for this video's opening. Because deep or maybe not so deep down, I wish I looked like those guys. Fortunately, I have gotten past the worst of my self-image issues, so these performers' physiques are not the shotgun blast to my psyche that they would have been just a couple of years ago. But there's definitely still some jealousy there.  Or maybe it will. I don't know. I'm not a therapist. What I am is a guy who likes having fun and wants more people to do that. You know how to have fun?  Thank you so much for watching and thank you particularly to my patrons, my mom, my cat, Cat Saracota, Benjamin Schiff, Anthony Cole, Elliott Fowler, Greg Lucina, Kojo, Phil Bates, Willow, I Am The Sword, Liam Knipe, Claire Bear, Taylor Lindy's, Andrew Madison Design, and the folks who'd rather be read than said.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the WordPress Briefing, the podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I'm your host, Josepha Hayden-Champosy. Here we go. The latest version of WordPress has shipped. WordPress 6.2, which was named after Eric Dolphy, was released on March 29th. And as is the way with software, there's already a minor release underway to catch a few errant issues that folks like you have reported to us. It's a big release that refines a lot of our design tools, but some of the most important changes are actually to the Inserter. If you haven't had a chance to get in there and play with it yet, here are the three things that I think you should know. First, the pattern browser. We're all aware of the block Inserter by now, and a lot of us probably use the quick options. The keyboard shortcuts are that kind of inline Inserter, that little black box that's in the middle of your post. If you use the main Inserter, that's a blue square in the top left of the screen. If you use that to add a block, you can still add individual blocks as usual. But there's a new way to browse patterns. And in my opinion, it is so much better. It now brings out this drawer that has like thumbnails of patterns that will work with your theme. And if you, like me, know what you want your site to look like, but could not in a million years figure out how to build it from scratch out of individual blocks, then this is the area for you. It was like shopping, but you don't have to go through a checkout process at the end and you still have what you want. It's great. That's also available when you're working on templates or template parts, so you can make changes everywhere instead of going page by page. The second thing that I think you should know is about the media browser. In that same area where you browse your patterns, you can also now browse for media. It lets you look through the images you've already added to your site, but it also lets you search for openly licensed images from Openverse. And if you choose one of those images from Openverse, it inserts the proper attribution for you. You still have to add your own alt text, but that's the fun part anyway, right? And number three, a style book. So this thing is available in the template editing area specifically, as is appropriate, given what it actually does. So if you're in the template area, toward the top right of the screen is like a half moon day mode, night mode look in icon. If you click on that, you can make changes to things inside your blocks. But if you click on the little eyeball icon that's just underneath it, it pulls up a style book where you can also see and edit the styles globally. If that didn't make sense to you, don't worry, I've got you. I'm about to tell you a bunch of things you can do in here. You can edit the way headings and lists and tables, quotes and code looks all across the site. You can edit the way images, galleries, files, and videos look using custom CSS. Yes, also all across the site. And you can edit button separators and individual blocks, say it with me, all across the site. That is not a comprehensive list. There is a ton of stuff. You can see the styles that you have applied across the whole site. You can see them in context and you can make any changes that you need globally, which means all across the site. Yeah, style books, what will we think of next? So those are my three things I think you should know about WordPress right now. As a former WordPress builder who was never really super great with the code, this stuff makes me feel powerful. I just love these changes and I hope you do too. Which brings us now to our smallest of big things. First, we just launched the developer blog. It's over at developer.wordpress.org slash news. It has a bunch of content on it that not only is geared specifically toward developers that are using WordPress, but especially the folks who are extending WordPress. It gives you kind of an in-depth look at various changes and projects and implementations and what goes into each one of them. So it gives you a bit of like this aspirational overview of stuff that you could do with WordPress and then also gives you an inside look at how you would accomplish it yourself. It's very cool. I like it a lot. Head on over there, but we'll have a link to the show notes below. The second thing is that we have an MVP of our new mentorship program that is underway. It should be debuting for essentially testing any day now. I'll link to the posts detailing that work just in case you want to join that important initiative, but it is an important thing for me. I think that mentorship is a key element of many of our successful contributors onboarding journeys, a part of their story of coming to us. And so creating a mentorship program that is a bit sustainable and looks toward the health of the overall project, I think is an excellent plan. The third thing on our smallest of big things is that Matt put out a nice little post about kind of the history of why Jazz has this strong background in the WordPress project. It's a brief read. I'll put a link to that in the show notes as well. But suffice it to say that he's saying that Jazz has a little bit learned processes and rules, but that the primary expectation is that you're able to make of the Jazz what you want. Like you get to make your own thing out of it. You get to be extemporaneous. You get to be very measured, whatever it is that expresses what you are trying to do and what you are trying to say with it. That's why he feels like Jazz is such an important part of the DNA of the WordPress project. Like I said, it's a short read. I'll put a link to it in the show notes. And finally, there are a few working groups that folks can contribute to right now. We don't always have working groups. We generally just kind of do stuff inside individual teams. But right now we've got like the kids camp group, the sustainability group, and of course that mentorship working group that I mentioned earlier in our list. So if you're wanting a little change of pace, I drop by their areas in the making WordPress Slack to see if they have anything that's up your alley. And that, my friends, is your smallest of big things. Thank you for tuning in today for the WordPress Briefing. I'm your host, Joseph Hayden-Champosi, and I'll see you again in a couple of weeks.


Hi, in this video, I'm going to be talking about the moving averages and moving average indicators So and I'm going to be discussing what the moving averages are why they are used commonly used moving averages and how to plot Moving averages as well as these strategies Based of Brown moving averages so moving averages are used to try and determine trend and Momentum and is also considered Dynamic support and resistance. So we have horizontal Support and resistance which is covered in the previous video We've got diagonal support and resistance in the form of trend lines and trend channels, and this is what would be moving averages can be used as dynamic support and resistance and How the moving average works is by taking the average price of a certain period Before so price action Which tells traders what has happened in the past and may continue to happen in the future so What it does is like say for example This line here is the moving average and what it's doing. It's calculating past Price action and the average of a certain period because you can set the moving averages to certain periods So if you want to measure the last five, we're on a daily chart of the Euro British pound currency pair So if you set the moving average to five then it will measure the last five period moving averages So it lost five periods and does it in the calculation and displays them as the moving average so Basically the moving average is a lagging indicator, which means that it only again shows past price and It's calculating the measurement of past price in the average But it's not projecting into the future like say for example a you know, Fibonacci would for example It's not a predictive or it doesn't attempt to be predictive in nature. It's just telling you and giving you information What's happened over the past five ten twenty thirty periods in an attempt to measure either the trend or momentum so You have two different moving average calculations one is the simple moving average and one would be the Exponential moving average and they are they calculate the average differently to give slightly different results So right now we've displayed the simple moving average with the EMA or the exponential moving average Which is the blue line the calculations basically give more weight to the latest data and It reacts faster to recent price changes than the simple moving average both have their pros and cons But that basically that's the difference between the simple moving average and the exponential exponentials Basically react faster to price fast doesn't always mean better. So You have different types of moving averages, so Moving averages you have short-term medium-term and long-term now this depends Depending on what type of trader you are if you're a short-term trader and you know medium-term swing trader And invest the long-term trader you you will probably use different moving averages on your chart So the short-term moving averages will more look at Momentum in the momentum of the market a short-term momentum. Whereas medium and long-term Moving averages will look at the trend and long-term trends So the popular moving averages are the five period moving average Actually, in fact, let me just Let's see if I can write this down, right? So the five Period ma You've got these are the popular ones you've got the eight You've got the the ten You've got the twenty You've got the twenty one You have the fifty and you have the one hundred and 200 so those are the popular ma's moving averages that traders tend to use so for short-term Moving averages you would have these five and the eight and probably the ten Would be more of the short-term period moving averages the medium Moving averages or medium term moving averages would be the twenty and the twenty one period and more of a longer-term period moving average would be The fifty one hundred and 200 Moving averages so those would be the again depending on what type of trader you are You would plot, you know some of these one or two of these or even three or four of these So the first way traders use moving averages is Obviously to indicate the trend. So how would traders indicate a trend now What traders would do is Look at the longer term or medium to longer term moving averages So if you want to plot a moving average as an indicator, what you would do is you would go to indicators here and then you would look for moving average and Exponential just moving average as a simple moving average and then Click which one you want to use once you have it up on your chart You can go to Formats if you're using trading view and you've got inputs. So the input Changes depending on and this is what measures the past periods. So as we're using candlestick charts, it will use the past eight Periods of candlesticks. So if you're trading the daily, it will use the past eight days If you're trading 15-minute charts, it will trade the last 815-minute candles and You can basically plot as many moving averages as you want on the chart. So right now we have the Let's get these up. So we've got an eight Period moving averages is a simple period moving average and then we have the 20 We also have the 50 We have the 100 It's the 100 and we also have the 200 so These are your moving averages again short-term and long-term period moving averages But let's just focus on what we would consider to be the Way that traders find trends All right So what people what traders would do is they will look at the some of the medium term moving averages so that's Get rid of that like the 21 period moving average. So this is the 20 or the 20 period moving average and What they would do is they would say okay if prices above The 21 periods are you got a candlestick close? above the 21 period moving average, we could possibly be in an uptrend and all they would look for is by traits, right if Prices are below the 20 or 21 period moving averages Then they would look for sell opportunities So as you can see prices when prices go above You had this How many days did you have above this you had probably like one two three four five six seven quite a lot of days above so there were there was a lot of buying opportunities and Again once price when price closed below it you had you know quite a few weeks of A downtrend so that's how as one way traders will look to trade The moving averages now what another way that traders will use moving averages is They will add a moving average to the The moving average trend indicator now this would be used as a trigger so a Trade trigger so what they might do is actually use not the 50. I'd put it say the The small of a shorter term Moving average so what they would do is they would say okay We've got we want momentum and we want the trend on our side So they would have maybe an eight period moving average and then they would have the 21 period moving average And when price actually crosses so when the eight period moving average crosses the 21 period moving average That is a trigger to get long and then you have some crosses here Prices kind of crossed and then prices crossed over and crossed back and then we can see that Prices stayed there we can see across here and prices stayed there a Few crosses here and there So one right here So they would use the cross so the momentum the short-term momentum as well as the the trend the medium-term trend in order to enter and potentially exit trades So not only do you have? one Moving average as far as maybe the 20 or 21 or even the 50 or the 100 period moving average as your trend I suppose indicator and you would have your short-term momentum. So where's price? You know is there strong buying is there strong selling and that would be indicated by maybe the the five the eight or The ten period moving average. So you've got moving average crosses You've got when prices above the moving average. This is all confirmation as to which way you should be trading sometimes You know, you'll get choppy markets where prices will cross back and forth the market is never always in a trending State as we know so we've got across here cross there. So you'd have to really decide What what way you do want to trend also if you want to trade and If the market does obviously go in your direction, you could be in for some very very good trade the last way that traders trade moving averages is They will wait for price to come back into a level So they would use it as dynamic support and dynamic resistance now we can see Hear that once we were on the trend and we had a moving average cross Some aggressive traders Will look to enter Basically at the cross Move this out the way. So some will may may enter at the cross here, right? Maybe that's not the best tool to use Right, so here we go There's a cross right there So the eight and the 21 period moving average cross That's what they do now. There are some conservative traders who want a bit of confirmation so as prices are coming up what they would wait for is a Prices to touch the first touch of a moving average so prices cross to the upside they wait for the first touch of the moving average and Then they either get long via a pending order or some traders again will wait for Some confirmation and in this example we see an engulfing candle confirmation so This would be the can more conservative traders entry again Aggressive traders are getting in on the crosses conservative traders are waiting for a pullback and as you can see the 8 period moving average did actors support support support So it touched a few times Now we can see as well that the 21 period moving average the first time it was touched acted as support as well, so Just like support and resistance the more times a level is touched the weaker It becomes the same thing applies to Moving averages and the same rule applies to moving averages So we had the first touch of the move the 21 period moving average and then we have the You know cross back and forth a bit of a choppy market there and then we have a Cross here, so the first time it after price basically Crosses here it comes up actually acts as a bit of resistance price couldn't close above it again When prices come back to the 8 period moving average We have a bounce here bounce here bounce here, so it acts as resistance again We had first real major touch We had one here and then we had the second touch if you want to call that first touch or second touch But we didn't touch it for a while until here again couldn't close above it We've got a little spike here and then prices come across so again That's we've got a moving average cross to the upside the 8 period crosses the 21 period moving average We get a touch now prices Kind of spiked quite through it, but if we look at the 21 period average the price actually held so Again, it's just use of support and resistance by traders There are times where it may not work and times where it does again. We're dealing with probabilities here We can see that price here again acted as support support support Prices act to the support again, so There are other moving averages like the 50 period moving average that also act as support and resistance and Again the combination of moving averages will depend on what type of trader you are if you're more of a long-term trader Then you may probably more look towards the 20-21 period moving average crossing the 50 period moving average Or the 100 period moving average if you're a short-term trader You may want to just see the five period moving average across the 10 period moving average and develop your strategy around that but Again just to recap so that the three main ways that traders will use the Moving average is basically by let me just take these off quickly so Once price is above a certain Moving average some traders and a lot of traders will take that as a bullish or bearish Signal depending on which way you're looking to trade so it's above the moving average It's a bullish signal if it's below and it just breaks below the moving average It is a potential bearish signal second way that traders will trade moving averages is with the moving average cross as an Entry so they will combine to and possibly three moving averages a short term and the medium term So the short term which is measuring momentum and then we get The 21 period which is more of the trend so what they would do is as soon as price crosses They would then enter as the aggressive trader would a More conservative trader will wait for maybe some sort of pullback or price action to confirm their their entry and the third way that traders will use moving averages is as Dynamic support and resistance In conjunction with possibly You know horizontal or diagonal so let's see if there's any longer term Support and resistance here So this pink line here is the 200 period moving average and as you can see prices Came down to here. How many times has it been touched? As that the first bounce so traders definitely would have been watching this area here We have Right So we can see that if you were more of a longer term trader trading the 200 period moving average You have a long down trend here from probably from something like 2013 to 2015 a two-year down trend so You had the 100 and 200 you can see that the 100 was used as resistance here uses resistance resistance Uses a bit of resistance here Prices nearly came up to that 200 And again, it was used the 200 period moving average was used as Resistance along here. You can see the 100 there Kind of broke above it used as resistance here and again The moving average is also used as support as well, so I Hope that helps again. If you have any questions regarding moving averages just email me at info at trading 180 comm


We can extend graphing to three dimensions by using a third coordinate. Since we usually call the first two coordinates x and y, we'll call the third coordinate, um, how about z? And since the x and y axes are perpendicular to each other, the z-axis will be perpendicular to both. And we usually draw from the perspective of the first quadrant. Wait, no, that's because the plane is split into four regions. We call them quadrant. Now space is split into eight regions, so we'll call this the first octant. Now, even though this is the first octant, nobody ever talks about the others in part because we can't agree on how to number them. All our ideas from Cartesian rectangular coordinates carry over. So the coordinates x, y, z specify distances along or parallel to the principal axes, and a relationship defines a set of points. So for example, if we want to plot the point 1, 3, 2, and negative or negative 1, 1, so for the first, we'll go out 1 along the x-axis. And if we're looking for the viewpoint of the first octant, positive x means towards us. Next, we'll go three units parallel to the y-axis, and again from the viewpoint of the first octant, positive y means to the right. And then finally, two units parallel to the z-axis, and again from the viewpoint of the first octant, that means two units upward. And again, if it's not written down, it didn't happen. So let's go ahead and label that point. And similarly, negative 4, negative 1, 1, well that's four units backwards away from us, one unit to the left, and one unit up. And again, if it's not written down, it didn't happen. Label. And it doesn't take a lot of graphing to realize there's going to be a problem trying to represent a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. What our graph will look like depends very much on what our viewpoint is. So these two points may appear close, but if we're looking at these two points from a different octant, their apparent distance will vary quite a bit. So it's less important to graph these points accurately than to get some sort of sense of what the surface looks like. So for example, let's find four points on the graph of z equals 5, and let's describe the figure that's produced by this graph. So remember, a point has coordinates x, y, and z, and it's on the graph if z is equal to 5. So as long as our z-coordinate is 5, any one of these points will be on the graph. So let's pick random values for the x and y coordinates. How about... And you can pick whatever values you want as long as your z-coordinate is 5. And if we graph these points... So for 0, 0, 5, don't go anywhere along the x or y axes, but do go 5 units straight up. 0, 1, 5, that don't go anywhere along the x axis, go 1 unit along y and 5 units straight up. 3, 1, 5, that's 3 along x, 1 parallel to y, and 5 units vertically. Negative 1, negative 1, 5, that's negative 1x, negative 1y, and 5 vertical. The thing to notice here is that no matter where we go along the x or y axis, we always end up by going upward by 5 units. And so notice that these points are all 5 units high, and that suggests that the graph of z equals 5 is a plane parallel to the x-y plane. Let's try a more complicated graph. How about that produced by the graph of 3x plus 2y equals 12? So again, a point has coordinates x, y, z, and it's on the graph if 3x plus 2y is equal to 12. So let's find a few points that are not on the graph. How about the point 5, 7, 2? Well, this is not on the graph because 3 times x plus 2 times y is not equal to 12. Likewise, the point 1, 5, 9 is not on the graph because 3 times x plus 2 times y is not equal to 12. On the other hand, the point 0, 6, 4 is on the graph because 3 times x plus 2 times y is in fact equal to 12. Now, you might notice that the z-coordinate of this point wasn't used in our verification. And what that means is that we can pick any z-value that we want to. So the point 0, 6, 8. Well, that's also on the graph since 3 times x plus 2 times y is equal to 12. And likewise, 0, 6 minus 2 is on the graph. And let's think about this a little bit more. Since the z-coordinate is the height of the point, all of these points we've found are above or below what we might call 0, 6 in the xy plane. So if we want to graph these, let's go to 0, 6, then go up or down by differing amounts. So we can go to 0, 6 and then up 4, or again to 0, 6 and then up 8, or to 0, 6 and then down 2. And really, we could go to 0, 6 and any distance above or below. And so what we actually get is a straight line through this point 0, 6 in the xy plane. How about a few more points? Well, if x is equal to 4 and y is equal to 0, then 3x plus 2y does in fact equal 12, and z could be anything at all. So a few more points on the graph are 4, 0, something. And we can pick our some things. And so we get all points above or below 4, 0 on the xy plane. So we'll go 4 along x, 0 along y, and then up or down some amount. And so we get all points above or below 4, 0 on the xy plane. And let's think about this a little bit more. Since 3x plus 2y equals 12 is a straight line in the xy plane, and z can have any value, the graph consists of all points above or below a straight line in the xy plane. So it might look something like this. How about going backwards? Let's start with the geometric object and try and figure out what its equation is. So let's find the equation of the xy plane. So again, we need to specify x, y, and z for any point on the xy plane. Well, if you're on the xy plane, x and y could be anything. That's kind of what it means to be on the plane. But in order to be on the plane, we do require that z is equal to 0, and there's our equation. And by a similar argument, we note that the yz plane has equation x equals 0. The xz plane has equation y equals 0, and the xy plane again has equation z equals 0. So what about more complicated graphs? We'll take a look at that next.


Hey everyone, I hope you're all well. Welcome back to my channel or if you're new here My name is Seppie and why am I talking so quietly? It's because we just walked past some people and I feel really really shy And they're like there's some people there basically we are in central London We are obviously it's locked down But we want to do our daily exercise and we just thought like why not get some bikes We don't actually have any bikes at home So we did have bikes, but we donated them because we weren't using them Yeah, like as in the bikes were from like one before I was born probably I'm just trying to say that really.  We've got Rocky with us. She's looking at how To rent a bike We've got hand sanitizer in the car though so this is how you like rent it and then These are like the bikes and this is what they look. This is what they look like London London in the summer is so amazing Sass so I'm wearing like this outfit Can't like show you guys basically I'm wearing key sunglasses this jacket. It's crop top. I was none of them free Okay, we have to go to a different bike station Okay, we have to go to a different bike station so This is what I'm wearing so Did like a little goldenie makeup, but I'm so excited to be like in the open air London's so nice and quiet. It's actually nice how quiet it is like surprising me London it's so busy like London's so busy, but it's still so quiet compared to what it usually is. It's like 25 degrees right now I don't know how I'm wearing this jacket thing Lord knows Sugar any Lord sugar knows why she's wearing this jacket I thought that was a red bus and I was like, oh, how cute and it's a red truck I'll say how scenic. I'll be like a thumbnail. Oh, that was a friend We're looking for like a docking station to get some bikes And I feel like Joey from friends, you know when he has the map and he stands That is literally what we're doing right now Rocky's just like having the time of his life He's loving it To be fair, we take him out Like in our area a lot like every day, but like But he loves walking around I'm really lost right now Okay, Hyde Park is not as busy as people are making out We're not going Even though you are allowed to sunbathe now and you're allowed to do as much exercise as you like So that's fine. So long as you stay within your own Family and like your own quarantine like you were quarantining with so that's what we're doing We're just trying to basically make the most of the weather Without like being doing anything dangerous That is me and signers were slightly pigeon We literally hate pigeons. By the way, this area Marble Arch was all in the news like oh It's so busy and it's actually not maybe because it's Monday now today come to another freaking docking station So it's like half an hour. Oh, does it say whether basically there's no free bikes So where is that? Like in regards to where we are So we just rode the bikes through Hyde Park. It was so fun Rocky was like having the time of his life sitting up on the chair But I can't cycle and ride so I couldn't show you guys but it was really really fun Yeah, so I Don't know what we're gonna do now. I'm probably gonna cycle back towards the car It was really exciting like if you guys haven't done it. I really recommend Doing like a little for a spike in London. You guys have come down But we've come outside of Buckingham Palace and it is empty like empty. I've never seen It's so empty before That's that's like the Queen Victoria statue guess for dinner tonight Yeah, she's a sign that made all this and these are these are garlic bread with with caramelized onions and chicken and Hey Sorry back there was messy I was taking pics guys, but just ignore but yeah, yum Good morning. It is the next day actually it's kind of like afternoon now, but I was on the way to my best friend Christina for hours So yeah, it's kind of like the afternoon now while I look so pale in the sunlight But the weather is so beautiful in London today mom. How many degrees is it? Do you want to say hi? Hello everybody By the way, we did a new video together on her channel, so make sure you check out music a number Yeah, the weather is so beautiful guys I just I want to sunbathe but I don't like the idea of being like more icky and hot and sweaty in My own back garden like if I was on holiday in a bikini And then I could go and like wash off all the tanning oils and I would do it Also picked off all my shellac last night so that I could get them off properly and so I can do my nails today But I want to have breakfast. I want to fill up my water bottle I've got Lipton iced tea cold tea bags and they make drinking water so easy wait. I'll show you so this is my water bottle This is my water bottle and it makes drinking water so easy because it's got like a straw bit at the top And then I have these Lipton Tea bags I need to find it and I'll show you but I just want to have that with some breakfast I'm very very hungry, and then I'm gonna do a workout. I'm dressed in a full workout gear So I'm just gonna do a nice little workout outside nothing to like High intensity Because I just CBA I'm gonna do stuff with like the resistance band. I Know I said the Lipton peach iced tea, but I actually meant this one. This one's my favorite law I know that's a big difference, but it's because I bought both But this one's my favorite and it's the twining is cold Infused for water bottles and it's watermelon strawberry mint and it tastes so good I just add this to my water and I keep adding water on top and the taste is still there for like two bottles full So I absolutely love it. So this is my breakfast basically brown toast with Philadelphia cheese and Half a thing of like turkey ham and this is cherry tomatoes on top my mom like washes all of them That's it in a feta container. How like typical Middle Eastern mom is this? I think this is like an Asian mom thing and then I've got my water with the cold infuse in it And I've got a white coffee So I'm gonna I'm gonna eat that and I'm gonna get back to you by the way My mom got me more of the golds and espresso stuff because I literally she bought the most disgusting color green So now she got me gold.  I feel like it's time for you to clean out your closet It is so hot outside.  I felt boiling and like when I do it on holiday I just go under the shower, you know, like they have there's always a shower by the pool or by the beach So I can shower every 15 minutes, but here obviously there's no shower outside. I'm gonna hold the hose over my head See what are you gonna do now?
