00:00I
00:03Just don't feel cute like nothing about me is giving confidence
00:09So not perfect I took the test
00:11I
00:25Part of being a mom and a person I mean like look
00:30I'm sure you single girls or you girls in
00:34Relationships can have weeks that you sometimes feel like a full-time maid, but I know the moms watching this. I
00:41Know
00:42That you feel like a full-time maid because there's no
00:46Keeping up with the housework. Like that's not a thing because it's such a constant
00:52Battle that just is ever flowing and it's
00:57Constant, especially the age that I'm at right now or that he's at
01:02Food just gets thrown and it can get overwhelming yesterday. I was a bit overwhelmed
01:06Oh
01:08She is so stuck up I have dreams and I have goals and sometimes I feel so
01:16I could be doing so much more
01:19Today I have
01:21Made a little bit of peace with that
01:24Journaling is a great tool. I cannot stress this enough us as women we have
01:31Very active lines and a lot of brain activity going on all at once
01:36It's why we can feel over stimulated and an extremely helpful tool. I have found
01:42for women specifically is writing it out because it almost
01:48Allows your brain the space
01:52To clear all that sludge and it allows these frustrations to exist
01:57But they get to exist outside of our already
02:02Busy brains. This was my journaling from last night and it really did make a difference in how I woke up this morning
02:09So today I am celebrating
02:13That for myself hi journal her
02:16I've been away from you writing on hotel papers and whatever is around
02:19Still try my best every day life can get confusing and I feel so overwhelmed
02:23So but I'm confident God has my back tired heading to bed next to Rio's little room
02:27He's been having cough attacks and he's finally not coughing tonight and sleeping cozy like a crescent moon
02:30He's a sweet little angel and such a funny little size grateful that he's doing better tomorrow
02:33I'm committed to chill a bit on the pressure. I'm putting on myself. I'm okay. Everything will work itself out everything already is tomorrow
02:37I'm committed to a light energy lightness if I choose to film I will do so in a light-hearted way. I
02:44Am okay, I can enjoy a guilt-free life I am enough I am okay, it's okay
02:57Oh
03:04My gosh side note, I have discovered a brand new ick
03:11That really really really really really really really really really aches me out
03:15please tell me I'm not the only one because I actually like I
03:18Cringe
03:20This ick started developing when I was watching love is blind a couple years back
03:26And there was this one contestant named April and she would always talk about herself a third person like April loves
03:35Like and I just don't understand how he could make April feel that way
03:39So that's where the ick developed
03:41but now I see people on Instagram stories like addressing themselves by their name like imagine I post a story and I'm like
03:48Lauren's outfit today heart emoji. The third person actually icks me out. So anyways
03:57How are we doing you guys?
03:59It is so good to be back home in
04:02Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. I love you suburban America. You are clean. You are cute
04:08Nothing like a trip to New York to make you appreciate
04:13The American suburbs, oh my gosh, New York is
04:17Crazy town. I will say it is an extremely
04:22inspiring place
04:23Like I came back from New York so inspired so ready to go with a go-getter attitude. Like I am I
04:32Needed that little invigoration in my system
04:34But seriously, I know there's a lot of you that live in New York because you come up to me on the street there
04:39look, I have a lot of people that watch this channel that live in New York, and I really just want to know girls like
04:45How everything was scary to like my anxiety was on 10 10 10 10 10 10
04:51but then it does balance itself out because it's such a cool place and everything's
04:55Trendy and the stores are amazing and the people are hot and moving and grooving and doing their thing and doing big things
05:02So coming home to this gorgeous little American suburb. Ah

05:52Geraldo and thank you again to better help for sponsoring that part of the video
05:56I've been meaning to talk to you about all these workout classes that are getting super popularized
06:03And my opinion about all of them I've tried it most of the main popular ones and I have
06:11Some thoughts first of all, these classes are really expensive and I get it. I mean if you're gonna pay a personal trainer
06:19That's gonna cost you a lot more than a group workout class
06:22What and I do love the group workout classes in big major cities because it's a cool way to connect with people check in with people
06:30Have like a little friend date in a productive way where everybody can kind of go about their business afterwards
06:36Like when I was living in Miami, I was in a huge
06:41Barry's bootcamp era me and all my friends would go
06:44it was kind of like a
06:46surprise every time you do the class because you would either see your friends or plan it with your friends and sometimes these classes are
06:52Great because you don't really have to talk to anybody
06:54But you still in a weird way feel like your social inclusion needs are met
07:00That's kind of like me with YouTube. I'm not having a conversation back and forth with someone but I still feel you know in my own
07:06parasocial way
07:08connected in the loop and
07:11Like I'm having some sort of
07:13Discourse there is boot camp for starters. It's such an intense
07:19Class
07:20And I mean, I think it it's great. It serves its purpose
07:25There's one here in Scottsdale and I don't really go the classes are 30 something dollars a pop
07:30Which is so expensive and I think they're only 45 minutes. They're definitely under an hour and
07:36What I didn't like about those classes long term is the lights are so low and there's so little time between
07:43Exercises that I felt like it was really easy to get injured in there
07:47I got injured in there so many different times and it's because it's so aggressive
07:52That you're just like trying to survive the entire time, but then you get home
07:57Cranky cranky. You guys are not gonna like my opinion solid core
08:02Tremble oh
08:05I mean, I don't even understand how
08:09reformer Pilates has gained
08:12So much popularity because it really is super popular
08:15I understand the outfit element of it like dressing like a Pilates princess and going to these classes and being around
08:23fellow
08:25gorginas like that's
08:30Something but the prices of these were former classes like 35 $40
08:37For
08:38Something so boring. I don't know what I liked about berries is that it was so aggressive and the lights were so intense and
08:46Everything was so fast-paced
08:48That it's almost like I blacked out in that room and then all of a sudden the workouts done
08:53You're in your car and you're like what?
08:57Just happened in that room
08:59like it doesn't even give you enough time to process it because it's so high intensity and so much of the running and then it's
09:04like you almost
09:05Die three times and you make it back to your car and kind of I would black out
09:09I would forget what even happened in that room. It felt like another dimension like another vortex. I'm like I did it
09:14I
09:15Can't even comprehend that the Pilates the reformer Pilates though
09:20Tremble that class the light was so bright in there. Like everybody can see everything
09:25I just felt like I was on stage
09:28and
09:29then
09:30Solid core is cute. Like I like the blue lighting. I definitely think the beauty atmosphere is something
09:38but the glacial pace of those workouts and the constant microphone voice of the girl
09:48And like look at she look at Shelly over here
09:51Shelly over here is a great example of how you can keep your leg pointed. Shelly is doing like what?
09:58In tarnation is that Matt Pilates on the other hand
10:04Pilates is kind of that girl or still feels like a bit of intensity going on
10:09Sometimes they'll implement things like burpees, you know, these little leg flutters as chill as they look, you know
10:16They burn and they really get that bottom part of your abs right here on a top
10:22top
10:24I'm sure core power
10:27That's my girl, it's hot yoga
10:30with lightweights and
10:32I was never a yogi type of girl till I started going to core power and I'm like, oh wait
10:37I kind of like this because the thing is like I don't know yoga to me always felt above my fitness level and as I
10:44Continue life and evolve my goals, you know
10:47I'm trying to not live with those limiting beliefs of like
10:51Oh, this is not for me and I gotta say like yoga really is so different and so humbling
10:58Especially if you're coming from a background like I was which is a more weight training background
11:04cardio background yoga
11:07feels humbling in the beginning because it's all these poses and all this mobility and all this stability and
11:13if you're kind of the
11:15unbalanced
11:16Queen like I was it's a lot and
11:21Personally for me the most humbling bit was going into yoga classes and seeing people in their 60s and 70s be better than me
11:29That kept me out of yoga for years because I couldn't like that for my ego. I was like this is
11:36crazy, but then I started to look at it from more of an inspirational aspirational perspective and I'm like
11:41If that is what aging can look like then yoga really is such a beautiful thing. I heard from a little bird
11:48This could be hearsay
11:50I could be wrong
11:53Don't come for me. I
11:56Heard that core power teachers get $20 a class to teach the class 20 bucks
12:05Because I'm curious to get my yoga training certification like just personally
12:08I just think it'd be like a cool thing to have especially as I
12:12You know venture into doing my athleisure brand. I think it's cool to be certified in something fitness related
12:17So your teachers are getting paid
12:1920 bucks a class and your students are paying like a car payment a month. I have the unlimited pass there
12:26It's like a car payment
12:30These little workout classes are so expensive
12:34Well, what is going on with that? I feel really busted today
12:39Really really busted today
12:41I'm getting a wax later
12:44Which will definitely help
12:50I
12:50Just don't feel cute like nothing about me is giving confidence. Whoa while I have you here
12:58This is the best perk of doing this
13:01Having a YouTube channel and having you guys watch
13:04Cuz sometimes like chat GPT like you are that for me. I just got off my birth control like
13:12Two months ago because I'm I heard from a little other bird
13:16But if you're on the same pill for too many years, it doesn't work anymore for you
13:21so you need to either switch your form of birth control or
13:24Mix it up. Whatever. I got off my birth control and
13:27When I tell you that right before I got off my birth control, my stomach was so flat
13:34Like I would wake up in the mornings and feel bones
13:38That's how flat my shit was and ever since I got off the pill I feel like I'm constantly bloated
13:46Dude, imagine if I'm fucking pregnant
13:54No, I actually took a test
13:57There is nobody more scared of getting pregnant than a mother of one
14:06So I'm not pregnant I took the test but ever since getting off the pill I have this like constant bloatedness
14:11So I wonder if it's my ovaries
14:14Adjusting or what's going on there, but I'm like, hello. Do I get back on the pill to be snatched? All right, let's do it. I
14:22Feel heinous when I don't have myself tan. One of the most common things people ask me about is
14:31My breast reduction and having it before having a kid and how that panned out I
14:38still have no regrets and
14:41I think getting that breast reduction slash
14:44lift
14:46Really kind of changed
14:48The whole vibe that I put off because I am so short that before, you know
14:54My boobs were so big in comparison that I just felt like they were so
14:59Overpowering in terms of my vibe and my energy like it was giving Lauren with the big boobs
15:06And when I would meet people whatever I used to feel the eyes going down here
15:12Constantly and since I had such a small frame, they just felt so large
15:16But one thing that I really did not predict
15:20With the breastfeeding and mind you I barely breastfed. I
15:25Don't know if I ever really went in on that
15:28topic
15:29But breastfeeding was awful
15:32Hated it not for me. What the hell?
15:34I used to remember me people being like and remember if you don't breastfeed
15:38It doesn't mean you're not a good mom and I was so confused by that
15:41So like how could breastfeeding ever correlate with being a good mom like that doesn't make sense. It does
15:48Because it requires so much dedication and labor and it's so oh my god. It is the worst
15:57And I know it's beautiful and I know a lot of women love it and the bond and whatever and if you love it
16:03I am so jealous of you that you got to enjoy that experience because I have quite literally never hated anything more
16:10I was sweating all day every day. I felt like a cow it was not
16:15For me. Anyways, I didn't think that it was going to shrink them
16:21So drastically like I feel like before my breast reduction like immediately after it I had a big be
16:28See, like I actually had a 32 C
16:32And now I'm pretty flat chested, but I still think I would take this over my og situation
16:51Please let this be your reminder that 12 330 will always be free
16:56One of my favorite parts about it, honestly
16:59You really only need access
17:02to a treadmill, it's
17:04I'm just so grateful for this workout. It's the easiest when traveling at hotel gyms. I did it in New York
17:12Hit the spot
17:14It's free
17:16You can listen to your own playlist slash entertainment, I'm a visual watcher
17:22When I do 12 330 because sometimes the audio alone
17:26if I'm just listening to a podcast I
17:30Can be easier reminded of how out of breath I am and how tired I feel
17:35But if I'm watching something
17:38I'm zoned out, babe
17:40Zoned out. I don't know if I'm alone in this but once I pass the 10-minute mark
17:46It's smooth ceilings
17:49The first 10 minutes are the hardest part and then you get in the flow
17:54Then you really start tuning out
17:57I'm in 20 minutes. Bye. Bye like this, but I've also heard some people say that the last 10 minutes aren't rolling. So I
18:04Don't know
18:09I'm probably about
18:12three weeks or a month
18:15from my last
18:16Waxing appointment. I feel like in person. I look hairier than the video is picking up and the hairs do feel a little bit
18:25Softer
18:27Than they would
18:28Had I been shaving arms, it's been a bit longer since I've gotten a wax
18:32You can kind of tell they look a little bit hairier than my legs, but still
18:38nothing too
18:40crazy growing up my one of my biggest insecurities was definitely
18:46body hair
18:49Mustache really my legs and my arms and you would think growing up in Miami that we're all a bunch of hairy Latinas
18:58Shouldn't really be getting bullied for that. But nonetheless, I remember I would get bullied for that not even bullied
19:05But you know when a guy says something that just hits different because it's not like a girl's gonna be like, oh hairy arms
19:12It's more when a guy points it out and you're in elementary school and you just actually want
19:19To die but my relationship with my body hair these days is so good
19:23Like I actually don't really notice it care about it. Think about it
19:26The reason that I do waxing is because I am too lazy to be consistent with the lasering situation
19:33That would be the responsible adult thing for me to do just
19:37Get laser, I'm so lazy. I'm so so so lazy
19:41technically these waxing appointments take the same amount of time but the difference is you can book a waxing appointment day of like I
19:46Called European this morning. I was like, oh, can I come in there for it? And they're like, yeah
19:51so that ease
19:53It's nice. I've never done a Brazilian
19:58Because I'm so shy to spread eagle pop it on all fours
20:06Like that's just a lot of intimacy and that I
20:12Don't know if I could you know handle even though it's a girly pop doing it like I still
20:20But I should I should because imagine how soft and smooth and gorgeous that whole situation would be girls if you do that often
20:28How
20:30Do you muster up the courage to walk in there and spread eagle and really present the cuckoo
20:35It can't be that big of a deal if I was more ready for it if the thing if we were more grown out
20:40I probably would have today mustered up the courage to
20:43Send it
20:46Next time
20:48But for you girls I do that often like how does that how does that go for you?
20:58The girls a European wax Center are something else. Oh my gosh
21:05I've had some crazy conversations with my wax girls
21:09Like they really just spill their whole tea
21:12It's actually incredible
21:14Like that whole session flew by cuz she was telling me the most crazy outlandish stuff didn't even feel the pain
21:20Guys
21:27Hi
21:30This has to be one of my best thrift finds to date so Scott's still thrifting really is
21:37Great, I will say but this Ralph Lauren silk
21:43Extra large which do the only reason I even got it
21:47In an extra largest cuz when I buy silk PJs for myself, which isn't often I'll get my size
21:54I'll get like a small
21:55But this was the thrift store and they only had it in an XL
21:59So I'm like, you know what better to have it than to not have it and now I think moving forward any PJs that I buy
22:04myself
22:06Will be extra large because this is so cool girl. So oversized and it got me thinking that
22:12It's actually so funny, I forgot what I was thinking we'll say thinking yeah, we'll never know
22:16It feels so good to have my skincare shelf back on and popping
22:20This is the current
22:22Lineup have some perfumes some oils some serums
22:28Road to I mean nothing is really organized. I was trying to make it a moment like serums here moisturizers here
22:36What ended up happening is I would in real life after doing my skincare
22:40Just end up being in a rush and putting it on whatever shelf at random
22:45So the order and the section thing didn't work for me and that is okay
22:50Whatever works for you works for you. I'm okay with having an organized mess, but there's some people that are so type a
22:57That that would never fly
22:59And what a nice mess. I'm good. My skin's actually been feeling really nice for tonight. This Peter Thomas Roth
23:06under eye cream
23:08Under eye cream
23:12Serum is actually really really good
23:17We don't do this cosmetics
23:19Revitalizing night cream. She's yeah
23:22The scent of this one is so different than what I'm used to because I feel like usually night cream smell like either nothing
23:28Or just like a bougie spa and this one almost has a minty feeling going on and I like a mint
23:34And I feel like mint a lot of the time is
23:37Used in more morning stuff, but I like I'm down for a mint night cream
23:46I knew I heard you throwing down over here. This is crazy
23:55Tell me my pancakes are actually
24:00Like pancakes
24:06You
24:36You
