So I have been using OpenSUSA now for 281 days.  I'm almost out of year and I have no plans of leaving anytime soon. I love OpenSUSA, I've made many videos about OpenSUSA. I've preached OpenSUSA, I've shown my sticker, I've probably bored you to tears with the amount of times I've talked about OpenSUSA. I'm not going to talk about OpenSUSA today, but it all leads into the same thing. And what I want to talk about today is to talk about when you should actually consider reinstalling your distro because a lot of people are not like me. They use their distro for years and years without ever even considering reinstalling. Oftentimes, other people are more similar to where I'm at right now. They use it for a year or a year or two and then they do a reinstall. So what I wanted to talk about today was when you should consider reinstalling your distro. Now, I'm not necessarily talking about distro hopping. Just because you think you need to do a reinstall of your distro doesn't necessarily mean you should also consider switching to a different distro. That's a completely different conversation to be had and we've talked about that before. So instead, here are five things that you should think about when you consider reinstalling your distro. So let's go ahead and do that. But before we do, if we leave a thumbs up on this video, I'd really appreciate it, really help the channel. So first, the first reason why you might want to consider reinstalling your distro is if something's wrong. Now, this is the most obvious one.  Now, maybe you can't solve the problem or maybe you just don't want to. Maybe it's too difficult or you just don't have the time and a reinstall would actually be quicker. That's one reason why you might want to do a reinstall of your distro. You just have something going wrong and you don't want to fix it. The second reason is that your distro is a little bloated. Now, a lot of people don't have as big a problem with this as I do, but I'm a Linux YouTuber. I tend to install a lot of applications. I'm also very curious by nature. So I tend to install stuff. Also, you've probably noticed that I tend to change my mind a lot. So I do tend to switch back and forth between many things. So right now I have about 10 different window managers installed. I have two desktop environments installed, maybe three at this point. I don't even know. I have a lot of stuff installed just in terms of window managers and desktop environments. I have a ton of that stuff. In terms of packages, I have over 5,000 RPM packages installed and 47 flat packs. So I have a lot of packages installed. And that doesn't even include the things that I have installed in DistroBox, which is probably another 1,000 packages on top of that. So I have just a ton of packages. Now, I've talked about package counts in the past. You can't really rely on these things because every distro counts things differently. OpenSusa tends to count each individual package. And that's why it seems so high. Debian does kind of the same thing, whereas Arch tends to package things together. And that counts as one. And that's the reason why Arch is usually a lot lower. But no matter how you count it, 5,079 packages in terms of just RPM packages is a lot of packages. So my distro by anyone's measure is very bloated. And that's one of the reasons why I personally have started to consider doing a reinstall of OpenSusa around the year mark of my two-year challenge. Just because it can take some of the cruft, because there's a lot of those packages I just don't need. Chances are there's about half of those there that I don't even know what they are, to be honest with you. You know, they're just things that I installed or came as dependencies to something that I installed. And they just kind of have been there for the last 281 days. And they're just sitting there not being of use to anybody. So that's another reason why you might consider reinstalling your distro, because it has become overly bloated with packages and cruft. The third one is kind of related to that and that your computer has started to be a little slower. So I've noticed this just a little bit. Now I didn't actually notice it until I installed OpenSusa on my new home lab machine and found that zipper is amazingly fast over there. Now I've been complaining about zipper being slow for ages. Now when I say amazingly fast over on that computer, I'm being a little bit facetious.  And one of the reasons why, and I stopped to consider why this could possibly be, is that I have a ton of repositories that I've installed and kept installed from the OBS for various reasons. Over the course of the last almost year, I've installed a lot of stuff from the OBS using OPI. And that just has led to a lot of repositories being having or a lot of repositories having to be refreshed every time zipper runs to update or install package that slows zipper way down. The more repositories you have, the slower the zipper is going to be. So that's one of the reasons why the computer behind me, or the guys can't actually see it now that I think about it, it still is behind me. Just the shots are different. But anyways, the computer on my standing desk, that's the reason why that one's so much faster is because there's not as many repositories. So that's another reason why you may want to consider reinstalling your distro is that your computer is just kind of feeling a little slow because more packages, more stuff running at startup, more stuff having to kind of run in terms of system deservices and stuff. All that can lead to slower boot times, slower launch times of applications, slower update times with your package manager, all that stuff can be affected by having just a lot of stuff on your machines. So if your computer is starting to run a little slower, maybe a reinstall is something that you can should consider. Now the fourth one is one that I don't follow my own advice on because it's not really necessary, but it's something that you might consider if you're wanting to do this. If you're thinking about switching to a different desktop environment, often times the best, most cleanest way of doing that is to do a reinstall. Now you don't have to do it this way. If you're running, for example, open SUSE, you can go into YAST and easily switch out the desktop environment that you're using. But what I found is from personal experience on this install is that when I switch back and forth between things and I uninstall stuff and I reinstall stuff and all that stuff, a lot of craft gets left behind. And that leads to mess and package conflicts and all sorts of problems that you just kind of don't want to have to deal with. So if you're considering switching between, say, GNOME and KDE, maybe you want to consider doing a reinstall to a version of your distro that supports that desktop environment out of the box, which most of them do have versions of both of those. So it's easy to switch back and forth. Now again, this is absolutely necessary because it's easy to do with your package manager and in most cases to switch back and forth between them. But stuff does get left behind and oftentimes things do sometimes break. So the biggest one usually switching between GNOME and KDE is that it oftentimes will switch to a different display manager and that can oftentimes cause some issues. So if you're experiencing those issues or you just don't want to have to deal with those issues at all, maybe a reinstall is something you want to consider. And finally, the fifth reason why you might want to consider reinstall is simply because you want to start fresh. Now, this isn't really something that you can measure. It's just kind of going to be a feeling. Maybe you've been using your current install for five, six, seven years or something like that, and you're ready to start fresh. You want to completely fresh home directory. You want to completely fresh that config file. You want a completely fresh experience right out of the box. And the only way really, truly to get that is to do a reinstall. This isn't something that everyone experiences. Most people don't, I don't think really care all that much. But if you've been using your distro for quite a long time, even just 281 days, it can start to feel like you have stuff too cluttered, that things are just kind of too well worn. And you want to actually get a brand new fresh out of the box, new car smelling experience from your distribution. That is something that is very proper for you to be feeling and you shouldn't feel any shame about it. So even if your computer, even if your distro is running perfectly fine, just wanting to a fresh start on your new on your distro isn't something that you should push aside. If you want to have that fresh feeling, go ahead and do it right.  And they're mostly obvious that you should kind of keep in mind before you do a reinstall. First, the big one, make sure you back up your data. Always, always back up your data and do a double or triple check before you hit the format button on your hard drive. Make sure you have everything you could possibly want off from your partition before you format it or before you reinstall your distro.  It wasn't safe where it was supposed to be. And I didn't back up that file. You know, you don't want to be in that situation.  You'd rather have more data backed up than not enough. So back up your data seems obvious. But everyone, I think, has been burned by that at one point or another. Make sure you do that. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you've been using your distro for a fairly long time, you may have forgotten the growing pains that come along with setting your your distro up for the first time. It's if it's been a while, you may have forgotten that you need to install codecs on OpenSUSA and Fedora. You may have forgotten that you have to set up, you know, exactly the way that you want it. If you're using Ubuntu or a GNOME based distro like Fedora or even Cinnamon, you have to spend some time getting that to be the way that you wanted to be. And maybe you've forgotten how much of a hassle that can kind of be. So you want to go into this experience being a little bit prepared to know that you may have forgotten some of the things that you usually have to do. One of the things that can kind of save you from that feeling is to have an install script. If you have applications that you know you need to install before you wipe your existing install clean, go through your applications menu and make a list of all of the applications. You absolutely know you're going to want to reinstall. Obviously, you're probably not going to need all of them. Some of the things you'll find that you just installed there on a whim and you never used them before or you never used them after the first time. You don't need to write those down right down the ones that you know you're going to want to reinstall. And that will help you when you have reinstalled to get all the stuff you need up and running so you can just can continue on using your computer and doing your work. So you want to make sure that you have a good list of the things that you know you need to reinstall before you actually do the reinstall because it's much easier to look at your existing or your existing application menu and see all the applications you have installed than trying to remember after you've done the reinstall all the things that you had installed previously. So make a list. It'll make you much happier. So those are the things that you need to keep in mind and reasons why you may want to do a reinstall.

Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you next time. I promise to remember how to use the microphone the next time I do a video. Probably. Maybe not. Anyways, see you next time.


Good evening, Creeps. Welcome to the Mystery Playhouse. Creeps, tonight we have with us Ms. Elizabeth Scott, lovely young Hollywood star of the motion picture, the strange love of Martha Ivers. Our play, Female of the Species, by Irene Winston, will star Ms. Scott in the Port of Eva Lester. And incidentally, a few Creeps out there think that some of the gangsters we've had on our Mystery Playhouse stage were cold-blooded and, shall we say, cruel. Wait until you meet Eva Lester. For Eva Lester is played by Elizabeth Scott. She would pretty well prove that familiar quotation, the Female of the Species is more deadly than the male. The offices of a Manhattan law firm, a beautiful and smartly dressed woman, stands facing her attorney. I never thought I'd be coming to you for legal advice. Who's it down? You're a good lawyer, and I may need a good lawyer. Well? First I, I guess I better give you this gun. Did you? No, it hasn't been fired. I left the office with the idea of murder, but it wasn't necessary after all. And? I suppose I'd better start at the beginning because it's important for you to understand everything that happened. You've a right to know how I feel. Go on. It all began about a year and a half ago. On a Thursday afternoon at three. I remember the time because, as he walked into my beauty salon with his wife, the clock chimes. Reception, Miss Sherwood speaking. Oh yes, Mrs. Carter. As you want Pierre for your scalp treatment, Jerry for your bleach and Margaret for a manicure. Yes, I have that. No, I'm afraid you can't squeeze in a facial. Everyone's busy. Well, I'll try. Goodbye. Oh, hello, Miss Lester. Hello. Any chance of gloves getting a facial?   Well, I'll see if anyone's free. Oh, there's not a chance for at least an hour unless we have a cancellation. Oh, excuse me. Yes, madam? Uh, I have an appointment. Mrs. Frederick Maxwell. Oh, yes, Mrs. Maxwell. You have a consultation appointment. Booth 4 through that door on your left. Thank you. Fred? Yes, dear. Want to come along with me? You'll enjoy it.  My skin is the right color for this season. No, no thanks, darling. I'll go along now.  Darling, I wish you'd stay. It'd be such fun. No, really, Helen. I've got a lot of things to do. You can't wait to get away, can you? Don't be angry, darling. Where will I meet you and when? Home? About seven. Will it take that long? Will you come this way, Mrs. Maxwell? Please, they're waiting for you. Thank you. Goodbye for a while, darling. Well, there goes your last chance for a facial, Miss Lester. We're booked up solid now. Oh, it doesn't matter. No one ever looks at me anyhow. But I was wrong. Fred Maxwell was looking at me. For a minute, I couldn't breathe. We looked at each other intently, and finally, he said, lamely. Um, my wife just went in there. I'll make her very beautiful for you. Oh, will you? Um, I'm Frederick Maxwell. I'm, uh, Eva Lester. Oh, oh, I thought that was just a trade name for a beauty parlor. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Um, you have a drink with me? Of course I will. And that's how it happened, that fast. We had a few drinks together, and before we finished the first one, I knew I was going to fall in love with him. And I knew he'd love me. Well, we're just making conversation now. I know. When do I see you again? Any time you want to. Come here. It's like that, isn't it? Just like that, always like that. And then, like this. Before he left to meet his wife, I gave him the key to my apartment. I was in love with him. It wasn't a calm love. You won't find it to find indictionaries. None of your laws can define it either. It was more like a thirst or a fight. But there it was. And it grew. And in time, we, we faced it. After all, darling, it's the only decent thing to do. Are, are you sure we'll be happy if we get married? Aren't you? I think so. How, how long have you been married? Ten years. Are, are you sure you can get a divorce? I'll ask for one tonight. I don't see why not. Does she know about me? Yes. She doesn't know who you are, but she knows there's someone else. Eva, I've been true to you. There's only you. Oh, darling. Go ahead, get the divorce. I'll marry you. I kept thinking about Helen Maxwell and, and wondering how she'd take it. That's when I came across her chart. Beauty parlor charts are barometers of women's life. The more visits to beauty parlor, the more domestic trouble. And in the last six months, Helen Maxwell had increased her visits until she finally desperately had a daily appointment. Poor Helen. But she got her money's worth. I didn't cheat her professionally. Place yourself, it's bad news. What? Helen refuses to give me a divorce. Oh, oh, Fred. And that's that. All we can do now is wait until she gets tired of the situation. That can't be too long. Hello, hello. Hello. I'm still here. Well, don't worry about it, darling. We'll manage somehow. It will take time, though. I'll call you tomorrow, darling. But I didn't want to wait. I wanted to marry him right away. It, it had never occurred to me that she refused the divorce. Then I realized that he wouldn't need a divorce if she were dead. Of course, if Helen Maxwell died too quickly, there'd be an autopsy and the reputation would suffer. I had to find a way in which I could only be found guilty of negligence but not of deliberate murder. The next day, I went downstairs to the salon and looked for Helen Maxwell. I pretended to have a message for Germaine, my best hairdresser, who, of course, introduced us. Germaine, uh, dit-moi-là. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were busy. One was a lester. I'm almost finished with Madame Maxwell. How do you do, Mrs. Maxwell? How do you do? Germaine, why don't you try lifting the hairline a little? That bang is too low on Mrs. Maxwell's bra. Oh, yeah. Like this? A little higher. There, that's it. How do you like that, Mrs. Maxwell? You're very kind. Really doesn't matter. Madame Maxwell is feeling very upset today. Well, perhaps I should go. Miss Lester, please. Maybe you can help me. Well, what can I do? Change me. Change you? Yes, change me. Do something to make me over... I'm going crazy. Make me over, do something spectacular. But you'd be doing me such a favor, Miss Lester.  Because I've got to do something to make him notice me again. Him? My husband. He doesn't even look at me anymore. Oh, try to control yourself, Mrs. Maxwell. Jeremy, will you get her something to drink? Go on, Madame. Oh, now you mustn't carry on like this, Mrs. Maxwell. I'm sorry. I just can't help myself. I seem to cry all the time lately. A vegetable cocktail for Madame. Go on. Go on. Drink it. You'll feel better. I'm sorry. I don't want to thank you. It is good for Madame. Beauty comes from within. Yes. Drink your way to beauty. I'll try anything. Will you help me, Miss Lester, please? But Mrs. Lester does not get treatment herself. I think this time I will, Germaine. Mrs. Maxwell seems to feel that I'm the only one who can help her. Oh, I know. I didn't believe me, Miss Lester. I'll be so grateful. I'll do anything you say. I'll put myself completely in your hands. I won't need you now, Germaine. You may go. Merci. Au revoir, Madame Maxwell. Bonne chance. Where do we start? What are you going to do first? I think the first thing to do is to darken your hair. Darken it? Your skin would look much water if your hair were darker. And you'd look a lot younger, too. Bleaching does no good after a while, you know. I forgot that the years go by. Too many women do. That's why I'm in the business. I'll take ten years off your age with the hair alone. All right. Go ahead. Do it now. Not so fast. Finish your vegetable juice. And then we'll get started. It was Germaine who had given me the idea. Drink your way to beauty. We told all our clients that it was a stock phrase and it was true. But in Helen Maxwell's case, I planned to add a little white powder. Tasteless. And colorless when taken in liquid. Administered slowly enough, it produces natural symptoms and only the topsy reveals its presence. Helen Maxwell was under my care for almost eight months. I had a kind of sadistic thrill working on her every day, creating new beauty for her and knowing that every night she'd take that new beauty home to an empty house. She talked to me a great deal about it. But I didn't know she'd be a great deal about it. Mostly she began with this question. How could he do such a thing to me, Miss Lester, after all I gave him? Oh, now finish your vegetable juice before that mouse cardens, Miss Maxwell. It's good for you. Thank you. I told him again last night he'd get no divorce from me. He'll marry that woman over my dead body. Oh. Who is the woman? Do I know her? She is. Aren't you curious? Yes. No. If I knew her I think I'd kill her. I thought of following him once. Did you? No. Why should I bring myself down to his level? I'd rather die. Oh. Something wrong, Mrs. Maxwell. I've been having the most violent headaches. My eyes have been hurting all day. I think I'd better go to a doctor. A doctor? You're turning into a hypochondriac, are you? Well, no, but... Well, just wash your eyes with pork acid solution. That's all you have to do.  Yes. Well, no wonder you have a headache. I guess so. Now, let's have a look at your hair again. Oh. Oh, finish your vegetable cocktail. All right. Was it the poison working? No, but it was. The poison in my eyes drained could mean almost anything. All during this time, Fred and I were closer. He knew his wife was a constant visitor in my beauty salon, but he didn't know that I was supervising her treatments. That was a secret between Helen Maxwell and myself. One night about a month ago Fred said... Poor Helen.  I wish she could find someone else. Oh, you're not a heel. You should see her as I do. She's been spending all her time at that beauty salon of yours. She thinks in some cock-eyed female way that if she becomes a raving, tearing beauty, I'll come back to her. Most women think that, thank goodness. Thank goodness. Certainly. I make a lot of money out of broken hearts. Do you ever think of the irony involved making my wife beautiful? Aren't you afraid? What? It's funny. You own that great big beauty bar. And you know what? You have a very funny face. Oh. But I can't stand this anymore, Eva. I'm going to have it out with her. I'm going to tell her that either she'll get a divorce or... Or? Or I'll get it myself. There are ways. Legal ways. Then one day Helen Maxwell didn't show up for her appointment. This is Fred. I haven't much time. I'm at St. John's Hospital. St. John's Hospital? What's wrong? Well, it isn't me. It's Helen. Oh, Helen. What's the matter with her? Well, they're not sure. A temporary paralysis, a stroke. What? I called you right away and listen, Eva. I won't be over tonight. Oh, of course, darling. I understand. No, you don't. That's why I'm telephoning. I don't have the nerve to face you. Don't be silly. I do understand. You don't understand. I feel responsible for all this. But...but you're not responsible. Well, don't you see, if I hadn't threatened to get a divorce myself, she wouldn't have had this stroke. But, darling, you... I...I was telling her I'd frame the evidence, if necessary, and she'd just collapsed. Oh, Fred, Fred, listen to me. Don't you see, darling, I couldn't believe her now, not when she needs me so much. I...I won't see you tonight. Or any other night. He couldn't live her now that she was helpless. I had never thought of that. But that couldn't be the end of us. I had gone this far. I might just as well go the whole way. I had never really hated Helen before. But now, as I took the gun, the night morchman used, I hated her. I went to St. John's Hospital to see her. I went to St. John's Hospital to see her. I went to St. John's Hospital intending to shoot her. Yes, Mrs. Maxwell is permitted to have visitors. But I must warn you not to show any surprise at her appearance. At her...her appearance. The whole right side of her face is paralyzed. We had to take all the mirrors out of her room so she couldn't see herself. Is...is it permanent? Well, you can't tell with psychic disturbances. Mrs. Maxwell has had a shock about her path to the root of the trouble. I see. That's why the doctor asked me to talk with you first to prepare you. Uh, knowing what you will find, do you still want to see her? Yes. But remember, she doesn't know about her fate only about the paralysis of her arm. I understand. Try and cheer her up. And don't stay too long. I won't. Even though the nurse had warned me, the nurse will look on Helen Maxwell's face. It was ironic. The face I'd worked on for so long had been destroyed when Fred threatened to get the divorce himself. Of course, that coupled with my little white powder was a psychic disturbance. I control myself, however, as I walk to her bed. Is that you, Fred? No, it's...it's... it's Eva Lester, Mrs. Maxwell. How are you? Nice of you to call. Did they tell you about my arm being paralyzed? Yes, but...but it's only temporary. You mustn't feel too badly. Oh, I don't. I'm almost happy. In a way, it was worth it. Worth it? Fred promised me he'd never see that woman again. Oh. And as soon as I can leave the hospital, we're going away. We're going to buy a house in the country and start all over again. Start all over again? And you believe that? Why? Why? Because he's my husband. Oh, now really, Mrs. Maxwell? You're too old to believe in fairy tales. Fairy tales? Yes.  Pity him? What do you think he wants to take you away from the city? We...we hope he's wanted to live in the country. Maybe you always wanted to before, but now you have to. Have to? Yes.  My face? Why do you think they took all the mirrors out of the room? What's the matter with my face? Do you really want to see? Yes. You're just trying to scare me. Let me see myself. I wouldn't if I were you. Give me your mirror. Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all? Here you are, Mrs. Maxwell. Now do you think he still loves you? You're right. He's sorry for me. I don't want him pity. I don't want anyone to pity. I thought you'd see it like that. Miss Lester. What? Miss Lester, will you do me a favor? Can I stay with you for a few days? Well, please. He'd never think of looking for me there and I've got to get out of the hospital before he gets back. I'm sorry. I've got to get out of the hospital before he gets back. You just can't get up and leave. I've got to. Can't stay here and wait for Fred. I've got to think of some way to... Tell me. Is there a fire escape outside that window? Look and see. Yes, yes, there is. I didn't take my clothes that they're in that closet. Will you bring them to me? Can you walk? It's 12 stories to the street. There's nothing wrong with my legs. They're all outside. Talk to the nurse while I get dressed. If you're here when I escape, they'll blame you. But you ought to... There isn't much time going on, please. Just keep talking to the nurse until I can get away. Please. All right. Thank you. Miss Lester, wait. Please lend me your hat. What? Your hat. It has a veil on it. Talk to the nurse. The other half of me was... listening and waiting. And then... We rushed into Helen Maxwell's room and looked out of the window. Far down on the street below, the crowd was already gathering. That's why I thought of you. First, can they do anything to me? After all, her death was accidental, and even though she was wearing my hat, I wasn't in the room when she fell trying to go down the far escape. And second, you're free now, Fred. We can get married. You killed her. Wasn't even in the room, I'll tell you. The technicality. Oh, the loss full of technicality is in the hands of a good lawyer. What... What are you looking at? The residue of a dream. Oh, this is no time to sentimentalize. Be practical, Fred. All right, I'll be practical. This is your gun. Yes. For all the joy we'll get out of life now, we might just as well all be dead. No, Fred. Justice has a sadonic sense of humor, Eva. You wanted us always to be together. Well, the police will see to it that I joined. But I...  Everything I did... did... for you. And that brings down the curtain on Female of the Species, tonight's performance in the Mystery Playhouse. Miss Lisbeth Scott was heard as Eva Lester in Female of the Species, an original radio play by Irene Winston. The music heard on tonight's program was composed and conducted by Alexander Samler. For creeps, it's time to close the door of our Mystery Playhouse, so... until next time, good night. Sleep tight. This is the Armed Forces Radio Service.


Hey, Bidgets, my name is Friday. Specifically Black Friday.  Christmas themed, and there's Christmas sweaters. This is the one we made. It has a sunflower, some mugs, and Bidget written all over it. Wait, this is, this is looks, 2006, oh, too well.  We also have me sipping on some tea, and I'm in a yellow blanket. There is a mug version as well, and we also have a sunflower rising from the snow, which is like, you know, an indication of spring coming, even though it's November.   So it does mean a lot to me, but the point is, I want you guys to mark your calendars. Between November 28th and December 2nd, there's gonna be a 15% discount off every item on a crowd-made. Convince your parents that this will be your Christmas presents. You can get all these items, and they will arrive before Christmas. Just send this video to your mom and dad. Like, listen, your child watches me. They want Christmas presents 15% off. Like, you would love the deal. So yeah, just mark your calendars, be ready. That is not the point in this video though, because today, I'm going to an event. Like, I got invited to an event. I got a formal invitation to an adult event. Not really my thing. I've never been the person who is like fancy. I don't wear a suit every other week. I used to wear suits all the time in like plaid shirts just for piano competitions. So I don't really like that anymore, but I do like dressing fancy for the occasion. I just don't have a reason to, because once again, I don't get invited to stuff. But I did tweet out a few weeks ago that I got invited to a party, and I know it's a thing that YouTubers get these invitations to go as themselves. It's a lot of PR stuff, and usually it involves beauty gurus. I've seen them go on many trips. And I've always wanted to go and interact with people because I do want to increase my connections with people. I'm an adult now. I want to do adult things. So I want to figure out future collaborations and just get to know people outside of what I already know, which is one other YouTuber. That's the thing. I like going to meetings. I like building connections with people. People are involved on the internet, and I think it's important. So I got invited to a Shutterfly fan, and this is not sponsored by the way. I sponsor my own merch. But it's their 20th anniversary, and they're having a holiday party right in midtown, and it's at the Hudson Mercantile. And I first was like, okay, so it's just where holiday clothes. I'll just wear my sweater and some green plaid pants.  It's a little bougie. You can say that. I have my outfit back there, but I have to get there in two hours. So I thought why not do a Get Ready With Me? I've done this once for prom. You guys really liked it. And I just missed the chitchat videos because it's just been a while since I've done it. So I did ask you guys on Twitter, send me questions while I get ready so we can just have a nice talk in this video. I'll talk more about how my life at NYU has been. I'll talk more about what's going on behind the scenes on YouTube, specifically the designs I've been doing and what's gonna come in the future. Let's just take this in a few inches. So I do have some makeup now. I've increased it. I will not say I'm a professional at all.  I just do what I think is best for my face. And I don't really wear a lot of makeup anyways. But first of all, this gotta go. But I tuck that behind the rest of my hair, which I also have to do before I leave. What time is it? Shit.  And that was about five hours ago I did that. So I would like to freshen it up. I have a little bit of, you know, oil on my face. It's like freshly there. So what I'm gonna do is just take some powder. Now I'm not gonna tell you what brand this is, simply because I don't want you guys to buy this. I wish they had more shades for people, especially darker skin tones. So I'm just gonna say I'm using a powder. And I'm just putting this all over my face with the Glossier Powder Brush that I impulsively bought for no reason. Cause I don't even use it that much. But this just helps matte my skin down. And the problem is all my powders are too dark for me now. And you can't really tell on camera because this ring light does everything for me. But these are all of my summer shades. And you guys know I tan very fast. So it's kind of annoying having to deal with finding your shade. So I have three foundations that don't match me. And I have one concealer that does. Then I have a really, really pale concealer that I use to try to balance it out. But well, it's a process. So if you notice that my skin is patchy looking now, it's because that powder doesn't match. But it's okay, we'll put foundation over it. Next, I'm just gonna take this top of my lid to mix my foundations because I have to now. I'm going in with some concealer that matches me. I'm not really gonna tell you guys what products I'm using because I don't want to recommend them. I rather recommend like cruelty free brands. So I'm just gonna, we're gonna skip this. And we're gonna start answering some questions. Was moving away from your strict parents liberating or was it the same? I don't know if I've specified how strict my parents are, I don't think I have. But my parents are very chill. Like they trust me a lot. I trust them a lot. We have a good relationship going. So I don't think there's any difference with me moving. I mean, obviously I get to adult for myself, which I've always wanted to do. But yeah, personally, I don't see a big difference. I mean, personally, I don't see a big difference. I mean, they don't have to see my grades here, but I do care about my own grades. All right, so let's see if this even matches me close. Meh, eh, sort of. I'll just blend it down my neck if I have to. So yes, I'm just gonna put this all over my face. And then because I don't believe in beauty blenders and this is worth the best for me, I just rub it in with my fingers. Any video ideas that didn't work out slash were never released. There's been like, I think five videos that have never been released because one, I just didn't feel like it was a good video. And two, the video itself got corrupted.  Like I wasn't on time. I just won't upload it because I want you guys to have, you know, good quality videos. I think it's important to give you guys that. And the videos that I have cut out, that was more like back in high school before I really cared about YouTube. I used to be like, I just need a video out this week. And now it's, I want to give good quality content to you guys. And I think it works. Like we have a really good relationship. So I'm gonna take my beautiful off-brand $2 blender. You guys understand where I'm coming from whenever I say I can't upload because I have family things to do. I have to hang out with a friend I haven't seen in a while. You guys understand that. And I try to update you if I don't have him to do a video each week. And that's another thing I really appreciate about this platform. I know a lot of YouTubers don't get away with that and I'm just one of the lucky ones. I don't know why, but you know, every time I do a sponsorship, it was just a thing I'll touch on soon.  But you guys know, I'm always honest in my videos. There is no filter that goes on between the camera and me. You know, I can't tell if this looks right or not. I feel like it's the ring light doing everything for me. But you guys are always proud of me for getting a sponsorship because you know I don't do them often. I really don't like the idea of using money. You guys know I don't do sponsorships that often but when I do, you always congratulate me and I find that so like, I appreciate that a lot. I hope you know. Okay, foundation's done. And I have been reaching out to more companies lately mainly because I do want to make connections with people and you know, doing sponsorship, it does help paying for college and I'm trying to do that but I would never just take a deal specifically for the money. Like all the brand deals I've done, Curology, Skillshare, Amazon, they're always things that I've used in the past. I would never just take a quick book and I am pattering my face right now. My friends have always said like, Frederick, why don't you reach out to more brands? Like you always use them. Why not try to make a relationship and get something out of it? And I guess I always thought I wasn't good enough for it because you know my username, that midget agent isn't necessarily the best user name you want to have when you're trying to work with a professional brand because they see it and they obviously see the word midget and they don't bother knowing like why is it that, which if you don't know, people bully me by calling me that in third grade. So I used it against them. But most brands wouldn't even bother learning that second step and they just instantly like blocked my email probably. Not, I'm not saying they do, I just get scared that they would. But recently I've been reaching out to more people. Like I reached out to Curology, I reached out again to Skillshare, I reached out to Glossier, some other skincare brands, Koolooly, the skincare fridge brand and they're all so nice about it and I just didn't think I'd be able to like have that connection so fast. But it's nice. I like doing that side of YouTube. You know, the partnerships, reaching out to other companies, getting your name around the online world basically. Maybe I did do a good job. This looks great. Obviously I don't really wear a lot of makeup. Every day I'll just wear foundation, maybe some eyeshadow. But since this is a nightlife and I have a good outfit, I wanted to be sultry looking. But I always like making my makeup understated to the point where you question, does he have good skin or is he just wearing makeup? And the truth is, I do have good skin but I'm also wearing makeup because I wanted to enhance it even more. I like enhancing what I have already. That's it. So I don't wear concealer. I don't feel the need to. It's like dark circles are a reality deal with it. I don't put that big-ass triangle of concealer underneath, I just match it with my face. I'm not really looking for a sculpted look. I'm looking for a, you know, good base, is all. Because I take a lot of my makeup off. Like the blender I have soaks up a lot of product because I wanted to. I don't want it to be cakey. Next, I'm just taking an Elf highlighter that I got from my friend. It's like the baked versions, I think. And I just put a little bit on my nose, the nose bridge above the eyebrow. This is what Jackie Aina has taught me. And just on the cheeks. And yes, I'm using it with my finger because I don't feel the need for a brush for every single thing. Wow, amazing, beautiful. Someone asked my music taste. You can follow me on Damage Adhesion for Spotify if you really want to know specifically. Right now it's just been a lot of lo-fi for when I'm doing homework. I love listening to Christmas music because it's already November. Specifically, I'm listening a lot to Conan Gray. And by the time this video goes up, I've already been to one of his concerts. Because I'm going to the one November 12th at terminal five and I'm so excited. Also, I'm using Glossy Blush. This is the color Dawn.  I don't want to waste this. And just rub it in slowly. And yes, I put the blush on over the highlighter simply because I feel like if you put highlighter on after blush, it kind of sticks to it. So I don't like that. Put some blush on my nose. You know, I want to give that flush look. How has your homework been recently? Is it stressful or is it fun? My homework is one of the funnest things to do. Like, obviously it's a lot because it gets tedious with designing. But I mean, you've seen in my vlogs, like I get to build stuff. I get a laser cut. It's just always been my dream to do that. And I'm so glad I came here. So my friend's coming down to, I guess, visit me. It's coming down. Oh shit, that's a lot. I'm going to blend that out now. Great. Notice how I said I want it to be understated? And I end up doing this. By the way, the rest of it, I just put it on my lip. All right, give me a moment to blend this all out with my fingers. How do you plan your outfits depending on whether it's scenery? My roommate asked me this question too. Usually I try to wear one shirt once a week. And I'm like repeating them too often because I already have a lot of them and I'm like mixing it up. But I always see like what type of shirt I want to wear and I just match it with my pants. I just understand what will look good together, I guess. I don't know, look up color theory. Like my belts will always match my shoes. That's just how it should work. Say, no, you can come in. I don't care. Just close the door. Oh yeah. You can check. I thought you were just talking. You can see. Yeah, it's okay. What do I hate in New York?  My friends are here by the way. Say hi. No. Oh, thanks. Okay, next up I'm taking a literally a no palette and just using some random brush I have.  And I think it defines out my crease.  So next I'm just taking literally the pink and the lighter pink, tap off the excess. And I put that all over my lid too because I think it gives a nice pop of color. Once again, I literally don't put a lot on because I don't want people to know I have eyeshadow on. I just think it makes my eyes pop a little more because they're pretty small.  It's a monolid. Doing this just makes it sink my eyes in a little more which is the look I'm going for. That's good. Guys, there is nothing wrong with loving yourself. All right, so I do this when I wanna be very fancy. We're gonna take a smaller pencil brush. I think it's what they're called. And I'm gonna take those same colors and just put it underneath near my waterline. I also wear glasses over this so it doesn't really matter. Let's do another question. How is New York different from where you used to live? I lived in two different places. I lived in Charleston, South Carolina for most of my life. Then I moved to New Jersey, South Jersey specifically. Both of the places I find that they were pretty like, religious is my honest opinion. They're very suburban, like, you know, cookie cutter families. Like I'm talking three bedroom, two bathroom, two children, families not divorced. Like that kind of look. And I always just thought like, I really wish there was more diversity. So that's why I like New York so much. And every day is different. I got so bored back then. Like downtown Charleston, if you have whoever lives there, literally nothing compared to New York. It's like one block. And there was only like one good street in Charleston which was King Street. And then in Morristown, we had one street which was just Italian shops. So like, I didn't really have a place to have fun besides Philly. And I couldn't even go to Philly that often because no one wanted to come because we all had to work. Oh, I forgot my eyebrows. So I have pretty good eyebrows. I worked five years on them, so I would hope so. But I'm literally trying to get rid of this palette. So I take the black shadow and I just line them, picking it up a little bit, make it look good. You don't really see that big of a difference anyways, but like, at least I'm using up the black shadow. Now let's some fun college experiences. Well, on the second day we moved in, my roommate burned a bagel in the microwave and it almost set off the fire alarm. I just thought that was a really funny experience because it was like a bonding moment because we all had to just sit outside for a while at 3 a.m. Mind you, second day of knowing everyone. I mean, every time I'm hanging out with my friends, it's a funny experience, I'd say. How about team trees? Oh, yeah. Donate to team trees, please. Let's try to save what we already ruined on this earth. Favorite subject at uni? I say specifically my favorite class is ideation and prototyping, mainly because I get to animate every week.  And I chose animacc because I've always wanted to learn how to animate as a kid. I wanted to learn like animatics, how to lip sync so I can make my own characters, like doing animations and that stuff. And I just think it's fun. Even though it takes like three hours sometimes, I think it's fun. Is it easier to date in New York? I wouldn't say like a city specifically will make it easier. I can argue both ways like, oh sure there's more gay guys in New York in general, but how many of those people actually want a relationship and how many want to just have fun? I haven't been on an official date yet, but I'm not looking to date anymore. Mainly because I don't have time. Like I have to go to class and I have to do homework down to hang out with my friends. And I just think like having a boyfriend, especially my freshman year, it's just gonna take up a lot of time. I genuinely like being single at this point. I don't know, like I'm happy. This is the happiest I've been in so long. And you guys know that I always see you guys commenting like I like seeing how he's grown from his high school self to his college self. And while editing my videos, I wasn't trying to show you my better life.  The personal, emotional side. And I really like that. So thank you. I love you guys. Acne routine, skincare routine, please. I've already done that enough. Am I doing for winter because it does change? But just look at the video. I will pop up right here. I think my makeup's done. Yeah, I look good. But I looked good before all of this too. Oh, I forgot chapstick. Cause winter is coming. Do I keep little snackies in my pockets when I go out or when I go to class? Sometimes I don't have time to eat lunch. So I always have sour gummy worms on me and a bag of chips. So what I really wanted to do for my hair was like not do a man bun. Cause I know like the man bun is typically hipster and all like he's a mountain climber who does photography, that stereotype. But yeah, like I wanted my hair to be sort of a swoosh. Oh my God, it looks so good right now. Damn, yeah, it is brown. Oh, I did get piercings by the way. People keep asking like when I got them. I got them a month ago. But I wanted to be like slicked bag and wavy and swoosh and then want full bang like 16 year old Fred was. So I'm gonna test to see if I can make something happen. But I don't want to record it really cause he won't be able to hear me. Like it's just gonna be the hair dryer. So I'll be right back. Okay, so I just wasted like 15 minutes in my life because I look the same. I don't know how to style that hair but honestly it's okay. My friend says she likes the man bun more cause it looks more like sleek and professional.  I'm already getting oily. Oh my God, slow down please. I'm gonna put on one more light layer of powder. Now outfit time. So prior to this, I did not think I would have to bring my fancy clothes to NYU. I don't even have any fancy clothes either way. I had one tuxedo that barely fits cause it was in eighth grade that I bought it. So I had to buy some new stuff which is an investment.  Get used to it. You guys know I don't like dressing fancy. I like dressing preppy. So because it's supposed to be holiday themed I try to keep it simple and sleek but we have a black button up that has this weird flowery print that I really like.  So I'm gonna put together the whole outfit and I'll show you the final product. And this is the final look. Shiny shoes, red socks, black pants, cute button up, red bow tie, good glasses, good makeup, good face, good attitude. And like every YouTuber I'm running late now so I do have to go. I'm going to vlog the experience so you get to see what going to an event is like cause this is my first one too. I don't know what to expect. But if you enjoyed it, give it a like, leave a comment down below and subscribe for more videos every Saturday. Get ready for holiday merch, it's coming. And I love you guys and everything is less than three. Okay, now let's go see Matthew. Hi. You look snazzy. You're like dad and mom. Oh, you're Dussie and daddy. Yeah. You ready? I'm ready, you ready? Yeah. What if there's like no one? That's not fancy. I mean, if Mindy Weiss is there, I don't know, I get paranoid. Like what if, what if we get disappointed? Never mind. Hello. This is so nice. Oh, there's wine. We can't have that. Toss.


Let's take a look at some of the Milky Way objects photographed by Hubble this past year. Here we're zooming in to a glittering open star cluster that contains a collection of some of the brightest stars seen in our Milky Way galaxy. Called Trumpler-14, it is located 8,000 light years away in the Corina Nebula. Because the cluster is only 500,000 years old, it has one of the brightest concentrations of massive luminous stars in the entire Milky Way. These blue-white stars are burning their hydrogen fuel so ferociously that they will explode as supernova in just a few million years. The combination of outflowing stellar winds and ultimately supernova blast waves will carve out caverns in nearby clouds of gas and dust. These fireworks will kick-start the beginning of a new generation of stars in an ongoing cycle of star birth and death.


Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, it's gonna be a Relaxed video. Oh, I just put this on the wrong way Because first of all, it's Saturday. Second of all, I got word that the annual Pat McGrath Fall sale has started and I look for any excuse To talk about and use Pat McGrath in the video and so in celebration of the sale and in excitement and anticipation I was like we Need to do a get ready with me. So details of the sale. It is 30% off site-wide There are some exclusions like the celestial odyssey collection that just came out for the holidays None of those items are on sale So if you did want to pick up items from the celestial odyssey collection I would suggest waiting until the Sephora VIP sale, which is starting next week But unless you are getting items from the celestial odyssey collection I do recommend not buying any Pat McGrath from the Sephora sale and picking it up during this fall sale because a 30% off is the best deal that you're gonna get from Pat McGrath unless they're putting items on like clearance Like they're getting rid of them forever But the permanent line stuff you're not gonna get a better deal on particularly if you're not Sephora Rouge Which is 20% if you're a VIP or an insider. That's only 10 15 off So 30% off for everybody is awesome And don't hold me on this because sometimes they take this off when people figure it out But if you use the code obsessed 10 a check out that will take an additional 10% off You can stack that 30 and that 10% off sometimes I take it off So but you heard it here first So if it's still working make sure you use it before they figure it out And this is even better than normal because normally she will do like 25% off site-wide But when she does like the big 30 normally It's like a hundred fifty dollars to get the 30% off and then a hundred like a hundred dollars to get 20 It's usually tiered. There's no minimum to get the 30% off. So yeah, really good sale I suggest if there's anything that you want from Pat McGrath now's the time It's the best deal if you're planning on getting gifts for anybody now's the time I'm actually gonna pick up some stuff from the site for giveaways for you guys for the holidays But because I can't get a better deal. So I'm just gonna be using a full face of Pat McGrath Whatever I can particularly what I'm excited about and what I would recommend the most for this is the Utopian dream mother ship palette because this has not been on sale yet This is the cheapest it's ever been because it is a fairly new palette This wasn't included in the most recent sale So this is the first time this is on sale and it's gonna be like eighty eight dollars Which I'm not saying that's cheap, but that's the best you can get and then also I don't know if this is the first time but the blushes are fairly new. So these are gonna be 30% off I believe the last sale they were excluded, but they are included this time. Okay anyways Let's apply the products. So I pulled out my Pat McGrath skin fetish sublime a perfection of primer Honestly, I don't really recommend that you pick this up for the sale. It's not my favorite primer Really? This is not something that I think is worth it. It's also been I think on sale for like 50% off before So I'm just using it because I have it and I'm trying to use it up and since I'm using a full face of Pat McGrath I love to see her come out with another primer or something that's a little bit more hydrating or more smoothing Something that's more effective because I feel like this doesn't do anything So I don't recommend that But I do definitely recommend especially if you're already a fan or you've been curious the Pat McGrath labs foundation I use the shade LM9. So this is a 68 dollar foundation And it was quite controversial when it came out just because it was so expensive and this is a lighter weight foundation You know, it doesn't give you full coverage and I think people thought you know since this is a $70 foundation it needs to give you full coverage But no, I think the trends and makeup have shifted since this foundation has come out because it really is truly just a light weight comfortable Foundation and it's super skin like it gives you about like a medium coverage and you can build it up But it's not going to get anywhere near full coverage with this sale It is $47 that's still you're gonna get on this foundation and I have from the beginning thought this foundation was worth it I like full coverage, but I definitely have always loved a more medium coverage This is just so lightweight on the skin feels like it's nothing it literally is the Insistency of water, but it leaves such a skin like beautiful finish to the skin It's one of my favorite everyday foundations, but yeah, it's $70. I mean, that's a lot for a foundation So if you've been wanting this foundation $47 is the best deal you're probably gonna get on this So I love this foundation and I've always stood by it despite people not really liking it or thinking it was worth it I've always just liked how lightweight and natural this looked on the skin I'm actually gonna turn the lights down just a little bit so you can see the colors better must have in my opinion from Pat McGrath Besides her eyeshadows. This is one of my favorite products that you can pick up from the line It's her concealers. I have three shades for a reason because they're that good I use the shade LM 9 for my under eyes and then LM 12 for spot concealing with the sale This is 22 bucks and this is one of my all-time favorite favorite concealer So $22 who asked me is a very very good price. It just it wears so well It doesn't really get too greasy under my eyes and it gives a really nice amount of coverage It doesn't have really much relation to the foundation if you ask me I know it's a skin system and you're supposed to wear the foundation The concealer and the powder together but to be quite honest the concealer is much thicker than the foundation So it seems odd they look good together, but they don't feel the same in that way They do look good though, and I just love this concealer. It looks so natural under the eyes It doesn't cake up. It doesn't sink into fine lines like a lot of other concealers. I'm not saying it's not going to sink into fine lines I mean if you got them you got them, but this one is definitely less noticeable It's more hydrating and flattering to the under eye It's beautiful as a spot concealer and sometimes I'll even use this as just a quick Foundation just to get the red areas and spread it out. There's something really really special about this concealer It's my top two concealer So this and Too Faced Born This Way are my favorite favorite concealers of all time So I mean I've sung my praises plenty of times before about this I mean if you watch all of my Pam and Graff videos this should not be news to you Okay, and then my favorite powder from Pat McGrath that I recommend she has a loose powder It's fine But you need to need to need to try the sublime perfection under eye powder if you haven't okay So the downside of this is it literally will turn to dust what I mean by that is that it will break Super easy. It is very very fragile. It works so good that I continue to buy them even after they break I have the light. I have the medium I have not come across a more blurring or smoothing powder. You can see zero pores. It is Incredible, I definitely recommend this over the loose powder I want her to come out with this in a bigger compact because I use that as an all-over setting powder not just an Under-eye setting powder again a must-have. I mean her foundation her concealer and this leaves the most perfect Natural looking base. I'm obsessed. Okay. Let me quickly do my eyebrows Pat McGrath doesn't have any eyebrows or bronzers So I'm using my elf bite-size brow palette and then I'm also going to use my ilia drawn-in nightlight bronzing powder This is an incredible browser by the way. I'm gonna put this in my Sephora recommendations video because it's not good Okay, I'll be right back this I look no I'm pretty sure I've done an eye look like this before but when it comes to the utopian dream palettes I can't use any other shade besides The purple glittery shade. So yeah So like I said, I talked about this in the beginning. I'm using the pat McGrath utopian dream palette This is the most recent mothership palette to have come out And if there's a palette that you need to get during the sale I'm not saying it needs to be this one But it needs to be a mothership palette because those are her big ones. These are the best ones I love all of her other palettes. Don't get me wrong any palette from Pat It's always amazing to me, but the motherships in particular are gonna have the most valuable unique Glittery formulations. So I am using the utopian dream because this is the first time it's on sale And I know a lot of you guys told me you are waiting to pick up this palette while it's on sale So this is a cheapest it's gonna be and I love this one I think it's gorgeous If you want to pick this one up and are looking for a second one to pick up that might be very different than this I recommend the very first pat McGrath palette because it's very very different than this one It is all cool toned. It's a little bit more wearable So this one and the subliminal I actually just ran and pulled it out for you guys This is the first launch of motherships from pat McGrath, but these two are very very different So you're not gonna get any dupes and believe it or not You could definitely mix in that with these two palettes Yeah, but any mothership that your heart desires this is the time to do it I have a rankings from last year that you can check out, but you can't go wrong with Anything if you're curious about anything from the brand I've probably covered it search my name and then the item that you're looking for and a review will most likely come up I'm gonna show you how I got this look. It's very very easy. We're gonna start off with this shade right here I'm using a BK Beauty 202 brush pat McGrath does have a few brushes, but honestly, yeah, they're not my favorite They're just not worth it in my opinion I would stick to BK Beauty is really nice refer you some the usual brands that I talk about on my channel because I just Feel like they have the best brushes and I'm gonna run that along my lower lash line I'm really gonna blow out the outer corner of my lower lash line Like I'm not afraid for this to go really low because I want to bleed it out into the blush This look is a little bit messier. So I'm going out of my comfort zone a little bit I like a nice clean makeup look so but I thought you see I have a lot of glitter in this look And we're gonna deepen with the dark brown shade and this has a rosy tone to it So it's not like a true neutral brown But I'm gonna take this along my crease you see and then I'm gonna bring it all the way To the bridge of my nose Almost like you were going to contour your nose Well, I guess I kind of am at this point and then bring it all the way out. Let's go a little bit ham with it I'm not keeping it low You can see I'm keeping it very high and then I'm also gonna take that and again really be messy with it Blend it out down here As my brush gets clean and then we'll be back with this shade I am very very slowly blending this step By the way, this is gonna be $88 compared to the original 125. It's a really good savings I'm also gonna use the intensify artistry wand which I believe you can also get I couldn't find on the site But I also was looking looking that hard So this is like a mixing medium in a stick form and I am putting this everywhere This is a great base for any shimmer. It doesn't need to be just from a Pat McGrath palette But I do recommend using this when you're using the glittery shades from the palettes just because you'll get less fallout It's a little less messy, but of course I had to use this color It's my favorite color in this palette and I'm popping it right on top of Zegaloo or whatever the mixing medium and then I'm being messy with it and I'm blending it out Whatever's left on my finger. I'm putting it out here. So we're getting a little glittery with it Have fun with it. What's great about this glare as you can see. It's not the most opaque It's about when it hits the light So there is a base to it, but it's more so about just the glimmeriness of it So you have room to just bring it out to get a little bit of extra glimmer When you turn your face and it doesn't look crazy. I mean it does but in the best way possible It's super duper pretty you guys. We want it to be a little bit messy. That's what I'm going for I'm gonna use a refer number one brush and I'm gonna go back into the dark shade And we're going to put a little bit more depth in this outer corner here Almost blending it in with the glitter that I pushed out with my finger. So it's really seamless That's what we're going for it can be messy But it just needs to have that seamless blend to it also gonna take a little bit more just to get more depth up here How many variations of looks can I do with this purple color all over my lid? Because all I ever want to do is just put it all over my lips. Okay next up This shade is also really gorgeous all over the lid But I'm gonna use it as an inner corner color just right here. This is gonna brighten up the eye It has a very strong gold shift, but these shades right here are what make Pat McGrath so special and worth the price This finish it's just everything. So finally I'm gonna take an angled brush This is just a random one that I had from Colourpop. I'm gonna go into the darkest color, which isn't that dark But it's keeping the look really cohesive and I'm just going to create a shadow wing I'm not using any mixing medium or anything and I want to keep it very very thin Along the lash line and then I'm going to elongate the eye by bringing the shadow to the inner corner Just to elongate and it might look a little odd now, but I promise with lashes and everything It's going to fully come together I'm gonna take a little bit of a black liner now I saw this is sold out on the website, but I do like her pencil liner. This is called the Permagel ultra glide eye pencil. It's only available in navy and a brown color that I saw they're good But I don't think it's a need for the sale What I do really like eyeliner wise is the liquid liner But come close and listen to me when I say this never buy your liquid liner at full price ever ever ever because they're amazing Well, they're fresh and new but they dry out so quickly. So while I have it I love her liner, but they dry out just too quick so quick that I don't even have one right now because mine dried out So just keep that in mind But I do want to use just a black pencil and I'm tight lining so that way we can add a little extra Depth to the look and then if you want you can even try and work it in between the lashes So instead of just getting the tight line area get it in between the lashes I need to get closer to my mirrors to do this though, and then I did get a little bit of black along my lash line I'm just gonna take that original brush that I use just kind of soften it and blend it in We're gonna just continue with the eyes. I'm going to use the Pat McGrath dark star mascara anytime There's a sale I stock up on the fetish eyes mascara I don't want to open up a new one right now because I'm trying to use this one up But the fetish eyes mascara is one of my all-time favorite mascaras I highly recommend it a lot of people like this dark star better So it just depends but if you have short sparse lashes I recommend fetish eyes one thing though is it does flake so if you can't stand a flaky Mascara don't pick it up But I feel like there's no other mascara that gives me volume Lengthens and multiplies my lashes so I do recommend that mascara while you can get it on sale I'm gonna use dark star because it's all I have open right now, and yeah Okay, I'm gonna pop on some lashes and then we'll finish the face and lashes are on Makeup on the eyes looks amazing gonna finish off with cheeks and lips Another item that I was obviously very excited to see on this discount are the divine blushes So I thought flirtatious would be the perfect color for this look Divine Rose is a great everyday rose color that I recommend and then my most used shade Which is like a very warm orange, but it's super flattering I normally don't like warm blushes on myself, but Desert Orchid is my all-time favorite blush in this collection I highly recommend that one flirtatious is also just like the perfect muted kind of mauve blush I love the formula of these for sure. They're beautiful, but I mean individually these blushes are very very pricey So definitely at this discount to stock up if there's any that you've been wanting because it is an incredible formula It's just expensive and it feels expensive with application if you ask me at the longevity on these is really nice So happy that these are finally on sale super pretty and I'm actually gonna take a little bit extra Kind of push it into the eye look We want it to be a part of this look just to make it really cohesive just a little bit right here on the nose Gorgeous so flirtatious was perfect for this and then I also wanted to use the divine glow highlight This also is a first-timer on sale and it is beautiful now Pat McGrath It did just come out with the holiday highlighter. That one is $60 that highlight incredible I honestly prefer that one over the divine glow, but the divine glow I Recommend over the $60 one because I don't recommend that you spend $60 on a highlight This is more of a realistic price and it's so beautiful, but yeah I haven't asked I do like this $60 highlight that just came out more than this But that takes away nothing from how amazing this is. This one's a better value Definitely more worth the price if you ask me Sonning I mean you guys can see this on camera really excited that this one is on sale as well I felt like with Pat McGrath highlights before these two most recent ones I haven't really liked her highlights very much, but since she came out with this and the holiday one for this year Incredible incredible highlights. Okay finally lips lips is another category that Pat McGrath is Amazing and I love all the formulas, but the lip liners definitely one of my most used brands So I'm gonna use done-on-done the most used colors for me are done-on-done and contour Those are two staple lip liner colors But these are amazing because they're so soft and creamy they just glide on the lips, but they last forever This is probably the longest lasting lip liner in my collection So yeah, I always stock up on lip liners during sales because they're amazing and I'm solely working my way To having every color so you'll see done-on-done is kind of like my lip color, but better It's just pinky contour, which is the other one that I really love is more brownie So that one is more like a contour shade. Wow, this really needs sharpen I'm literally scraping my lip, but I'm too lazy to sharpen that Lipsticks I would say are something that you probably could pass on this sale They normally do like lip products for ten dollars each or something crazy like that later on in the year Or the beginning of the year. I think it's been also like a Black Friday deal in the past So I would hold off on the lipsticks anyways just because I love a formula I much prefer like Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks. I don't know I love the Pat lipsticks, but I wouldn't pay full price for them And I would wait because there's normally a better sale, but I'm gonna use Dream Lover Ready and then I did want to use a lip gloss and the lip glosses are worth it on this sale This is actually not this particular color But Pat McGrath has like my all-time favorite lip gloss formula This and Fenty are definitely up there for me But again, this is also a part of those like ten dollar crazy deal sales So I would almost say to wait because you might be able to get this for a better deal But the lip gloss formulas are worth it period and if you are dying to get lip glosses I mean they're even worth this 30% off price. They're worth full price. That's how good they are But I'm using the shade peach for version But I mean point being long story short pick these up at some point But there normally is a lip sale that is better later on in the year But if you need to know my number one most used lip gloss from Pat McGrath is Dare to Bear or faux real Those are nude nude nude lip glosses, but they're my most used colors. Hmm. They're so good Okay, let's take these out not having the best hair day. So let's pretend that my hair looks better Okay, I mean yet again another flawless Pat McGrath look I love this even though I've done a variation of this eye a billion times.

Hi, my name is Leon Roe currency trader and trading coach at training 180 comm welcome to this week's forex and gold Fundamental and technical supply and demand analysis if you're new a warm welcome to you And if you're returning an equally warm welcome to you and don't forget to like subscribe and share press that like button right now if you like the content that I provide every week in the weekly analysis, so let's get into the week ahead and Zooming in straight away, so the the US and UK are releasing key inflation reports next week We've invested looking forward to see if The recent price pressures show any signs of abating amid the economic growth slowed down So that's quite important. The reason why is because there is this theme that the global economic economy is is slowing down slightly and if inflation can show signs of abating then The central banks won't necessarily have to will have that much pressure on them to high crates The last thing a central bank wants to do with a currency is high crates in the midst of an economics potential economics slowdown, right because that's what's known as stagflation and And so stagflation is a really difficult situation for central banks to be in so they need economic growth, right in order to really I guess take make the decision to kind of high crates Let's do it anyway if if you know inflation is above and persistently above and consistently above their 2% target But it makes it more difficult in the midst of a potential Global economic slowdown other than that important data to follow include retail sales and industrial production figures From the US in China and employment reports from the UK and Australia. That's going to be again employment Reports are I guess a leading indicator of the economy, right? So if you have high unemployment or low employment, then you're heading into, you know I guess an economic slowdown if you have low unemployment or high employment, of course Then your economy is growing, right? So It's a great sign that your economy is growing. So that's going to be important for the UK and Australia the eurozone in Japan will be releasing Foreign trade data. That's always important as well while New Zealand publishes second quarter GDP growth Which I think is I'm in the New Zealand long trade been in a long trade for a couple of weeks And that is going really well. So as long as the data supports the narrative There's no reason for me to actually exit that trade plus the RBNZ, which is the New Zealand central bank Are saying that they're going to be hiking rates, right? Which is the reason why you're seeing The New Zealand dollar really kind of outperform. Anyways, let's get into a bit more detail on the on the charts and Going on the dollar index, right? So let's look at the dollar index And I think actually before we get really kind of get into the net grid on the dollar index. It's really important to understand Central bank forecasts, I guess from ING and other other banks and ING are a Dutch bank And they've pretty much put together this this timeline really good timeline and What this explains really is and why this isn't really important is because it outlines what they think Central banks are going to do with regards to rate hikes or potential rate cuts and also QE balance sheet changes now why is that important because Currencies Appreciating depreciate based off of monetary policy for example rate hikes and whether an increase or a decrease or a tapering in in quantitative easing and as you can see from 2021 It's 2022 and easy there forecast It's not set in absolute stone because things can change of course that data has to support this narrative But if you know that the forecast do come in Correct or at least close to being correct then you can kind of Price in central banks and the market can price in what they think the valuation of one currency versus another reason So I give you I give you an example, right? So a lot of traders will trade for example the euro dollar, right? So let's look at the European central bank and they're expected to reduce PEPP but APP boosted basically from their quantitative easing perspective is a little tiny bit of tapering and we'll get into this a Bit later when we look at the euro But when you look at for example The Federal Reserve if you look at the fact that by the third quarter The expectation is for potential rate hike, right? You've got the arrow there pointing upwards by the third quarter of 2022 This is what is potentially happening when the hiking cycle First and the European Central Bank are lagging. So what should happen? Logically over the medium to long term not necessarily the short term This is where traders trip themselves up about fundamentals not working They work just fine It's that you just don't know how fundamentals actually work and the perspective that central banks and Investors have they have a medium to long term view not necessarily the most shortest time view usually is that ultimately The Federal Reserve are looking to appreciate their currency first rate hikes Yeah, and the European Central Bank are not doing anything to appreciate their currency. So What you know, the question is is what way should you really be trading? Right in the medium to long term and looking for pullbacks Which way should the trend be going if this does play out? Of course, it should be you know, you should be shorting the European the euro and buying the Federal Reserve That's not to say that every single week You know the the the euro dollar is gonna go down, right? That doesn't it doesn't work like that It has to be pullback and these pullbacks come can last for weeks, right? But the point being is that we've seen this happen From earlier in the year and this has really been the theme and this is the reason why you've seen that downtrend in the euro dollar So just extrapolate that out into you know Into other central banks who's first who's lost and then have a medium to long term view on what you you know Which way you should be trading and as long as the data supports the narrative That's really the way that you you know that we trade And that's where and that's how we capture the the larger trends that has nothing to do with Elliot waves or any kind of technical analysis This is the reason why currencies appreciate and depreciate This is the fundamental analysis that you need to to take notice of But let's get back into the dollar and actually now notice in that and take a note of that now Your understanding probably why this week you're seeing a bit of a bounce off of this This demand zone is hidden demand zone this week to the upside And again just getting to maybe a bit more detail is that the Fed are seen on track for 2021 taper start even as COVID-19 swells So policymakers watching data ahead of the 20 of September 21st 22nd meeting and taper unlikely this month But Fed may give a November signal So although we had disappointing jobs data last week, and I think a lot of traders ended up going short on the dollar It Although it delayed tapering There is still on track They are still on track for a tapering bias hence the reason why you're seeing Prices potentially go to the upside Well, you saw prices go to the upside this weekend. It doesn't mean that prices can't go, you know back down and and eventually Sorry, I'm end up going to the upside eventually, but and that's again if they tape her It's kind of like buying the rumor setting the fact But overall, you know the bias for the dollar Although it's a bit more neutral for me probably more to the upside than to the downside But again the data needs to support the narrative the better the data. So if employment comes out retail sales come out You know unemployment data comes out and The central bank is still talking about tapering in November. Hopefully you should see the overall Trend, you know continue to you know the upside of course, there will be pullbacks within that But overall pullback should be looked at as buying opportunities So let's see what happens with with With the with the dollar and again with the dollar index This is just a measure of dollar strength overall against the major currencies So if you look for if you see prices really kind of come down to a demand zone on the dollar index It's just looking for Dollar buys against its confluence on other dollar crosses So overall you're still seeing some dollar strength as long as the data supports the narrative of of a of a buy trade and of tapering which should appreciate the currency moving on to the dollar yen and the dollar yen again Been really in this range between this high and this low as far as supply and demand again I think any real, you know any major pullbacks. I think I'll probably buying opportunities I think if prices can come down a really kind of deeper pullback My bias would be to the to the upsides although if prices do come up into as the area of supply That level has been touched several times But I think just above this 11062 area would be actually a decent short But you'd have to really kind of see risk off coming to the market risk off is when there is a flight to safe haven Protection if there are is a lot of fear uncertainty in the market and and prices come up Then money tends to float into safe haven assets The dollar actually is considered a safe haven asset, but I think the Japanese yen should want to Should want to strengthen it as it is one of the main safe haven assets But overall my bias is to the long side.  I am looking at Getting into this trade but waiting for a deeper pullback. I really want something around this 91 round number area for me to get Long or if prices really do prove proof of value Which actually would be somewhere around here seconds and Prices are made a new high. So yeah, the prices do pretty much come back down and did his own That's pretty the first area to look for Potential buy trades, but I do think the ultimate, you know buy for me Anyway, is somewhere around somewhere around this 91 area Those of you who are in a private members discord group will recognize that as a stop-hunt zone or if prices can come down to this 90 Cent area here 90 cent and a half Zone around here the Swiss Frank for me is no way even near a buyer again unless there is some risk off sentiment Until that really happens and even then I probably wouldn't buy the Swiss Frank I probably just wait for risk off to push prices to where I want to be a buyer and then look for a buying opportunity But if you do want to get short that that was the opportunity I think probably just a bit higher than that if you want to get short again Would be the best or the better zone Moving on to the dollar CAD dollar CAD has been again bit in a range Bit choppy I do think that let's have a look there is Bit of supply not necessarily the best supply in the world, but there is some supply in and around here And if you got a bit more demand as well drag that slightly up It's not really a pair that I'm I'm interested in I think the both central banks are pretty much on a tapering and hiking cycle over the next You know six to 12 months. So for me not there's no necessarily no edge there when trading You know fundamental analysis you're looking for divergences, you know or convergences But divergences meaning one is hiking and one is at least, you know holding rates or cutting Right, that's really the divergences you're looking for and if both central banks are you know hiking rates Then there really is no divergence there. So for me, it's not really a currency pair that I'm looking at But if you are then you're looking at probably a deeper pullback into this area this one-two-four zone or Looking at the highs I think that this area here is a really nice area to look for a short technically But you'd have to believe that the Canadian dollar is an absolute bargain at these prices against the US dollar And vice versa if you're buying In demand, you'd have to really believe fundamentally that the US dollar is an absolute bargain against the Canadian dollar moving on to the New Zealand dollar US dollar and as I was speaking about earlier the the RBNZ are actually looking to hike rates and that's pretty much why you're seeing this you know massive move right and There should be you know probably some sort of pullback but pullbacks I think should be looked at as buying opportunities So at the moment with from a from a demand zone perspective really you have to wait for kind of a pullback to get Long or if prices do make higher highs and pull back into this, you know Demand zone which would be here that would be really the the play It's a look for if you're looking to buy the New Zealand dollar over the US dollar now if GDP comes out This week on the New Zealand dollar and it comes out, you know, it's really poor then Actually, in fact, this will be a really nice sell trade opportunity to take advantage of some potential selling on the on the New Zealand dollar because if GDP doesn't support a Rate hike for example, which is what the central bank want to do then the market has to reprice and revalue The New Zealand dollar right so if it comes out as poor or Really disappointing then in fact if you are in this trade probably maybe look to take some sort of profit And also potentially if you're not in this trade, you may want to take advantage of you know Some some short-term selling on the New Zealand dollar Moving on to the pound The pound again and the US dollar fundamentally I think are again in the same place when it comes to looking to high crates Right, they look both look into high crates and taper soon although the British pound is seen as being ahead of the US dollar So ultimately if they're ahead then prices should want to drift, you know higher I'm not saying it's going to be this week, of course No one knows short-term price but overall if in the medium to long-term you should have an overall longer-term trend Because if the British pound are hiking rates sooner, then the Federal Reserve then that's really the path That prices should want to go in but also looking at the pound this week There was some disappointing news the US the UK economy The UK economy's coronavirus rebound grinds to a halt in July so GDP rose just 0.1% of services Manufacturing stagnate and more troubles ahead with ending of support programs and tax rises So the UK economy barely grew in July sorry suggesting The recovery from the coronavirus recession is rapidly levelling off and consumer spending weakens and supply Disruptions hamper production. So it wasn't great news and this was due to I guess we had a bit of a what was known as a pinged emic where the NHS the natural the National Health Service app was alerting us as to If we were Potentially in contact with someone who had coronavirus and if we were pinged then we would have to Self-isolate but what was happening was is that even whether you had corona or not The fact that you had to self-isolate Caused a lot of disruption to the UK economy, so I Think this may just be a blip who knows But for now short-term wise if we're looking at short-term price You might start to see the pound start to sell off But again if the data supports the narrative as far as you know GDP comes out In the next quarter is being really good then this could be a decent buying opportunity In and around these zones and I think probably this one three five area would be a really bargain price for the For the pound so if you want to take advantage of maybe some short-term sentiment now would be a decent time to look for a Shorting opportunity if you're looking to trade this pair But to me, I think this pair really isn't on my list at all of pairs to trade there are much easier Pairs to trade mean that they're pairs with bigger divergences rather than looking at Monetary policy that is really kind of heading in the same direction Moving on to the euro dollar and the euro dollar so This week we've seen a bit of a sell-off and in fact I did make a video This week regarding how to trade the news and really why Buying or selling the dollar and buying the euro around this area here because this was a jobs miss right? There was a massive jobs miss last week Friday, and so I made a video For the private members but also posted it publicly for YouTube as to why If you're looking to you know buy the euro and sell the dollar Which means you would have been buying at highs while that was a terrible terrible idea, right? And I'll kind of break it down in that video and if you If you You know watch that video you'll understand how exactly this played out and we just sort basically People getting stopped out right liquidity hunting, etc. That's not to say the prices can't go higher, but you know It was a it was a really a bad idea anyway to to to kind of buy the euro and sell At Lowe's or by the euro at highs Even based off of that because the market really doesn't move on Well, the market moves mainly on Fundamentals yes, but in the short term it's more to do with liquidity and the avoidance of slippage So if you watch that video, you know, you'll see basically, you know the plan and how pretty much it played out anyways Euro this week did have their the ECB did have their their announcement and The title is the lady isn't tapering but asked again in December said there's been a lot of hand-banging over the guard Statement and what it means for the future of the ECB bond buying program, but bigger test but a bigger test is looming so pretty much The guard was very vague in her Assessment of whether the European Central Bank were looking at tapering and what type of tapering and then what that would look like And again tapering is an appreciation of the currency. So the market was pretty much left scratching their heads, but I just read this first paragraph the European Central Bank has made a very small down payment on prolonged economic recovery One durable enough to withstand COVID-19's troubling variants But the big decision making Comes in December when the central bank undertakes a comprehensive review of its bond buying program With a few more months of Delta under its belt and better and a better sense of direction about the federal reserves withdrawal of stimulus There will be less room to fudge the messaging So they're pretty much just holding and wait having a wait and see approach But I think they're gonna be forced obviously in December to really kind of come out and give the market clarity So how does that look obviously in the market? And you're just pretty much seeing you know a non-event, right? So it you know the news came out on Thursday There was a bit of spiking up and down up and down but nothing really right? so the market is interpreting what the what Christine Lagarde said and Didn't see any real, you know Meaningful means or Decision to really kind of buy or sell and either way, but I do think in the short term I do think in the short term potentially there is room for prices to you know go to the upside And you'd have to really kind of wait for prices to come down into that demand zone the 117 area Which seems to be a bit of a line in the sand for investment banks For a potential buy trade if you are looking to buy the euro If you are looking to continue to sell the dollar then I would really wait for prices again to come up to this 119 area in fact put the one just above that that that supply zone before looking at getting short So euro euro dollar mixed messages Not not the greatest to be fair, but I think the sorry the power for these resistance Should still be to The downside overall maybe in the short term you might see a bit of a pickup But I think overall you're looking at where you know who's ahead and who's not this could just be a base Get a bit of a pullback and then before prices go to the downside Moving on to the euro yen Again euro came up into this supply zone technically not really a pair that I'm interested in to be fair Not that interested in any more but There are there is a supply zone right there So if you want to get short meaning that you're buying the Japanese yen again waiting for risk off sentiment to really come Into the market. I think the higher level around this one through one area It's pretty the best area to look for any kind of short trades My bias if I had to pick one would be actually probably more of a long trade And that would be really nice that area that I do actually like this One two eight technically as a nice buy for the euro But ultimately This pair isn't necessarily the greatest pair if I'm looking to you know Buy or sell against the Japanese yen There's there's much better pairs or stronger pairs to look to To look to buy or sell the Japanese yen against right so but technically I do like this This area here and this demand zone and this supply zone is it is actually quite decent as well But not necessarily a great pair fundamentally at the moment Aussie dollar and the Australian dollar Had a nice little run-up. I do think the Australian dollar is Potentially undervalued, but I think the the data needs to support the narrative I think this area here is actually a decent area to look for any kind of buy trades Ultimately if prices do come down here, I think that is going to be a really really nice buy There's definitely strong demand around here. So whatever push prices Higher this was obviously and as an absolute bargain for the For the Australian dollar, so if prices come back down here again Then that's where you want to really look for potential buy trades if obviously the data supports the narrative, of course but the Australian dollar are lagging behind the US dollar in terms of the You know central bank monetary policies So if anything, I think the path for lease resistance is to for now anyway to the downside But if the Australian dollar start to really kind of pick up, I do think that These are nice buying opportunities. So if you do want to get short It's really looking forward to get a pullback into that zone there or that zone there before looking at getting short on the Aussie dollar Aussie yen again, I think I will be looking at buy trades in and around these areas I Think similar very similar to the Aussie dollar But I think the Japanese yen is a much better pair to trade the Australian dollar with so The Japanese yen are pretty much lost when it comes to you know, trying to strengthen their currency So any pullbacks I think into these areas are going to be nice. You also have the confluence Some confluences of horizontal support and resistance as well. So that's really Really really nice in and around that area if if prices can get down there because nobody really knows what price will do But if prices do come down here then I think a nice buying opportunities for a potential long trade and Short-term wise as far as supply wise, I think yeah that level is probably gone now But it's created another supply zone. In fact, it's hidden supply right there. There's an outside candle So supply there is a supply zone right there So any pullbacks into that zone and then get short again probably wait for more risk off before getting involved in that and Gold gold, you know really being driven. I think by the Fed and what you know, monetary policy is happening and as you see the Federal reserve is still on track for tapering. So that's had a bit of an effect on gold Plus there was you know, we were kind of do a pullback anyway, right? So if the Federal reserve Do start to taper which means they're going to potentially strengthen their their currency the US dollar then You should see prices actually gold prices continue to go to the downside But you'd also need to see the data support the narrative. So you need to see GDP right GDP In in the US really start to grow From that perspective and if it does then what you're going to see is again Gold probably look to sell off. So the better the the the dollar does the worse for gold price Regardless of inflation because of the fact that the Federal reserve are going to be hiking interest rates Which again is a return on the dollar. So what tends to happen is is traders and investors will look for Look to hold the dollar because they're getting a return on investment They're getting a yield whereas in gold gold doesn't pay a yield. So Even though inflation is a way above the 2% target If the Federal reserve are looking to hike rates, then gold should probably come to the downside and dollars should Continue to go higher But if you are a gold bug and you want to get long on this currency pair currency pair on this Sorry, it's commodity and the reason why you would probably get long is because GDP starts to you know drop off And inflation continues to go higher Which is known as stagflation if there are stagflation problems then gold is going to be a great buy a really really good buy At these levels. So let's see what happens But keep an eye on the US dollar and what happens with the Fed and the economy before looking to buy Or sell gold anyways guys, I think that's it for this week and it is in fact, let me just pull that down I think there's a supply zone right there Yeah, so that's it Guys, that's it for this week.
