Soooo I did something LOL I didn't think I'd do this ever again buuuuut... apparently my curiosity built up over the last couple years and I wanted to try again!!! I know everyone has different opinions on filler but I wanted to see how I could look with it (so many years later, where nurses are much more informed and skilled in it)! So I did it hehehe

00:00I can't believe I did that.

00:13Hello guys, happy Sunday.
00:15Welcome to today's vlog.
00:17It is finally starting to feel like spring is coming.
00:20We're a week into March,
00:22and I went outside to go get my nails done today
00:24and the walk was actually enjoyable.
00:26Like the air didn't hurt my face today.
00:28Huge success.
00:28Also the time, we sprang forward last night
00:31at two in the morning.
00:32So we lost an hour of sleep,
00:33but the sun is up for an extra hour.
00:35Like it's not going to be dark until 7 p.m. now.
00:38That is when life gets good again.
00:39We're on the up and up here,
00:40but I got my nails done.
00:41Oh, Ryan's here.
00:43Oh, no, he's not.
00:43It says 5.15.
00:44Okay.
00:45Love this color.
00:46This is called Let's Be Friends by OPI.
00:48I feel like this is the perfect milky pink.
00:51I have a couple of trips coming up in the next few weeks.
00:54And I felt like just a really simple,
00:56neutral pinky white was going to be the move.
00:58And I haven't done a color like this in so long,
01:01but I am loving it.
01:02It just feels so clean and simple.
01:04And you know, there's just no better feeling
01:06than fresh nails.
01:07I just made a cup of tea, which is downstairs.
01:09Actually, let's go downstairs.
01:10Just a caffeine free tea.
01:11I felt like having something warm and sweet to sip on.
01:14And it's literally pink.
01:15I love it.
01:16Anyways, very chill Sunday over here.
01:18I was just working this morning,
01:19figured I would get ahead of the week.
01:20And when I say this morning,
01:21I mean like 11 a.m.
01:23because I didn't set an alarm
01:25and I slept in with the time change.
01:27I was like, it is 11 somehow,
01:29but then I worked till my appointment at three.
01:31And now we're gonna chill.
01:32Ryan's coming over.
01:33We're gonna watch Love is Blind, watch the weddings,
01:35see what happened.
01:36I haven't been spoiled somehow.
01:37Probably make something good for dinner.
01:39I don't really know.
01:39Maybe we'll order in.
01:40And then tomorrow I'm doing something
01:41that I have debated doing for so long.
01:44I've gone back and forth a million times
01:45and I will talk about it extensively in this vlog.
01:48But a couple of weeks ago, I was like, you know what?
01:49Fucking, I'm just going to do it.
01:51And if I hate it, I will undo it.
01:53Instead of going back and forth
01:54on whether or not I wanted to do it,
01:56I'm leaning more so want than not want.
01:59So I don't know, I'm a little nervous.
02:01Actually, I'm very nervous.
02:02I'm very, very nervous, but I'm also excited.
02:04I feel like it could be good, but that's tomorrow.
02:06Today, we're chilling.
02:07I'm actually gonna get a little bit more work done
02:08before Ryan gets here and then we'll be chilling.
02:12All right, guys, it is 11.30 now.
02:20Ryan just left and I will talk Love is Blind.
02:23We timed it kind of perfectly
02:24where we finished the weddings episode
02:26and then the reunion came out right afterwards.
02:29So we got to watch them back to back.
02:30And I don't know, I feel like this show
02:33is just going downhill, honestly.
02:35I'm still gonna watch.
02:36I think it's still very entertaining.
02:38I don't know, there was way too many episodes
02:40in the pods this season.
02:42I don't know if we're the only ones that thought that,
02:43but it was such a drag.
02:46And then I feel like what ended up happening
02:49with the couples, the remaining couples,
02:51it was pretty obvious except for one couple.
02:53I don't wanna say any spoilers,
02:54but there was one couple I was shocked about.
02:58Like I was shocked.
02:59But then watching the reunion, it made sense.
03:01I think Dave, honestly, people are calling him
03:04a manipulator and a narcissist.
03:05And I don't necessarily know about that.
03:07I do think that he's just an immature boy.
03:09I remember watching the first few episodes
03:11and watching him go into the pods.
03:12I start off by asking people, what's wrong with you?
03:15So I've been so icked out so fast.
03:18And then one thing that really sticks with me
03:21is when he asked Lauren how old she was
03:22and she said she was 30.
03:23He goes, oh, so you're unattractive.
03:25I would've walked out.
03:26I don't think I would've given him the time of day.
03:28Like Lauren was way too good for him.
03:31A lot of it was just, I don't know.
03:33Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
03:34But it's like a fun show to watch.
03:36It's fun to like throw on and just like talk shit
03:39about what's going on in the pods.
03:40It's fun to watch with somebody else.
03:41I think if I wasn't watching with Ryan, I wouldn't watch it.
03:44Now that we're done with Love is Blind,
03:45we're gonna get back to Lost, which is so good.
03:48We're on, I think season three now.
03:51But I'm gonna try to go to bed early tonight
03:51because the time change is just gonna mess me up.
03:54The one hour, like it really does make an impact
03:57because it's 11.30 right now.
03:58But I'm like, I'm not very tired
04:00because it feels like it should be 10.30.
04:02I wanna get in bed and read my book for a bit.
04:04So I think that's what I'm gonna do now.
04:06Just gonna go brush my teeth and then read
04:08and try to wake up at a reasonable hour tomorrow.
04:12Good morning, guys.
04:13We are back.
04:15It is Monday and I am struggling.
04:18I'm struggling with time change.
04:20I woke up at nine.
04:21Typically, I like to wake up at eight,
04:23but you know, I think we're gonna ease ourselves into this.
04:26For what I'm doing today,
04:27I really wanna have a little bit of makeup on,
04:29but I also think that when I get there,
04:31they're gonna remove it.
04:32So no makeup today,
04:35but I can do a little skincare blush, I think,
04:37do a little moisturizer and bronzing drops duo.
04:41I actually can't believe that today is the day
04:43that I'm doing this
04:44because I've thought about it for so long.
04:45And then when I finally booked this appointment,
04:47I was like, am I gonna change my mind day of
04:50or day before, am I gonna cancel it?
04:52But now it's here and I seem to be doing it.
04:56These are the bronzing drops,
04:57the Deep Bronzy from Drunk Elephant.
05:00It just adds a really nice glow
05:02to my crummy, very pale face.
05:05And then I'm gonna use the Glow Recipe Dewy Flesh Serum,
05:10but it's a blush, but it's skincare.
05:12So we won't have to take anything off my cheeks anyways.
05:14So I could put blush on if I want to,
05:16which maybe I'll do before the appointment,
05:18but I've watched just about a million videos,
05:21like TikToks, YouTube vlogs, my own YouTube vlogs,
05:24just to wrap my head around this.
05:26I'm gonna use this Tarte under eye corrector
05:29and just tap that in.
05:30When I do things like this,
05:32I will heavily, heavily, heavily research
05:35and just watch a million different people do it
05:38so I can get an idea of what I'm in for.
05:40And I've done this before, but it's been a really long time.
05:43I'm gonna do some mascara and then we'll go downstairs
05:45and maybe make some breakfast.
05:46Also, YSL sent me over their mascara
05:49and I got it at their event last year
05:51and I was obsessed with the mascara.
05:54Like, it's so good.
05:55And I ran out and I'm so happy they sent me more.
05:59Like, that is insane.
06:00And I didn't even curl my lashes.
06:03Look at that.
06:04That's without curling my lashes.
06:06It's pretty crazy.
06:07This is, I think, gonna be my look for today.
06:11Maybe I'll do more later, but let's get dressed.
06:15I'm ready.
06:38Perfect.
06:45And there's breakfast, two scrambled eggs,
06:52half an avocado and then a cup of caffeine free tea.
06:55I've actually been on quite the tea kick lately.
06:57It's just like a warm, it's a warm hug.
06:59I'm not having coffee this morning before my appointment
07:02just because I saw something that said
07:04I shouldn't have black coffee before I do this.
07:06But you know, I need a morning beverage.
07:08So we have a cup of Forever Nuts from David's Tea.
07:11It is like the yummiest.
07:12It's what I had yesterday.
07:13I also have some garlic jalapeno hot sauce
07:17that I'm having on the side of my eggs.
07:19Cheers.
07:20This hot sauce is so good to me.
07:24I like love it.
07:25I haven't made scrambled eggs in a while,
07:26but this really hits with a perfectly ripe,
07:29like perfectly ripe avocado.
07:31It's freaking delicious.
07:32Okay, I'm gonna have my breakfast
07:33and then we will talk all the things.
07:35I'm pretty excited about today.
07:37I'm excited and nervous.
07:38I'm like definitely really nervous, but I'm also excited.
07:41I have high hopes.
07:42Okay, guys, let's talk about what I'm doing today.
07:45I can't believe I'm doing this.
07:46I can't believe I'm doing this.
07:47Today, I'm going to a new med spa.
07:49I've never been there before.
07:50I was going to a med spa for Dysport for a while.
07:54Well, I think I went twice, maybe three times.
07:57I had bought a package of 50 units
07:58and I think I used them over three appointments.
08:02So just to start at the beginning,
08:04in 2017, I went and got my lips done for the very first time.
08:07This was like in the era of influencers wear laser away,
08:11like hooked it up for free for everyone.
08:13They obviously do laser, but they also do filler.
08:16They had a bunch of services you can kind of pick,
08:18but I really wanted to try lip filler.
08:20This was like peak Kylie
08:22and like it was the start of people getting filler.
08:25I've always had a very small upper lip
08:27and I was never really self-conscious about it
08:31or insecure through high school.
08:32I wasn't even really self-conscious about it
08:35when I went to get filler in 2017,
08:37but it was more so like, could it be better?
08:39And I was just curious to see what the process was like.
08:42I'm a very curious person.
08:43Like I like to try things out of curiosity.
08:45So I would Photoshop myself with like a bigger lip
08:48just to see what it would look like.
08:49I got less than half a syringe the first time that I went.
08:52And then I went back a year later
08:54and I think I did another less than half a syringe,
08:57all in the top lip.
08:58Like I did nothing in the bottom lip.
08:59I think it looked fine.
09:00And like filler doesn't really go away.
09:02At least that's what I found.
09:03That was 2018.
09:04And then I didn't go back until like February of 2020.
09:07And I got, I think probably another half syringe.
09:10Anyways, each time I went, it was a different injector.
09:13And so they all had different techniques.
09:14And I ended up with a lip that I had blindness to.
09:19I suffered from lip filler blindness.
09:21I didn't realize what it looked like
09:23until I got it dissolved in 2022.
09:26And that was also the first time I ever got Dysport.
09:28So I went with Maddie.
09:29She was telling me how much she loves Dysport and Botox.
09:32And so I went with her.
09:33And while I was there,
09:34it was my first time at a med spa in two years.
09:36And I like could recognize that my lip had migrated.
09:39It didn't look right.
09:41And so while I was there to get the Dysport
09:42for the first time, I asked her, I was like,
09:44should I dissolve my lip?
09:45And she was basically like, yeah,
09:46like you can dissolve it, come back,
09:47do half a syringe plus a lip flip, which is Botox.
09:50And then it would be perfect.
09:52I got dissolved and I was like pretty chill with my lips.
09:55Like I like them so much more
09:58than the way that my lips looked at the end there.
10:02And for a while,
10:02like I didn't really think much about it at all.
10:04I was like very chill with my natural lips.
10:06Loved the Dysport.
10:07And then 2023 came around and I was like,
10:10maybe I just try the lip flip without doing filler.
10:12And I did not like the lip flip.
10:13The Botox lip flip, basically it freezes your muscle
10:16so that your lip flips out.
10:17And I think for some people it's a really good look.
10:20Like it works for them.
10:21I did not like the way that I looked.
10:24Like I didn't like smiling because it felt very,
10:26I did not like my face.
10:27Thankfully, you know, that went away in like three months,
10:29but I told myself never again, never again.
10:32The lip filler.
10:34Filler, I thought that I wouldn't ever want to do again,
10:37but I also told myself never say never.
10:39You know, I'm pretty sure I've even told you guys that,
10:41that I wasn't planning on getting filler
10:43ever again in my life,
10:44but that like, you know, my mind could change.
10:47Same thing with the Botox.
10:48Like I got it last in October
10:51because I was using up the rest of my units
10:53at the place I was going to.
10:54And I was like, okay, I'm just going to use them up.
10:56But I liked it.
10:57I did.
10:58It really opens up the face.
10:59You feel a little bit more snatched.
11:01The forehead's smooth.
11:03And I have no problem with aging.
11:04Like I think it is a privilege to age,
11:06but at the same time, I want to look snatched.
11:08I want to look fresh.
11:09I want to feel good, you know, looking in the mirror.
11:11And I think a little refresher could do wonders.
11:14Plus half a syringe.
11:16I'm like so nervous that it's going to look crazy.
11:19And I know today it's going to be like swollen
11:21and it's not going to be what it looks like at the end.
11:24And I'm really nervous about it.
11:25I'm so nervous.
11:26I'm just nervous that I'm going to look at myself
11:28and be like, what the fuck did I do?
11:29Like, why did I do that?
11:30But I'm really curious if I can go to an injector
11:32that I like her work to go to
11:35that could give me the result I was looking for.
11:37And I'm hoping that she can.
11:39I also think going to the same injector
11:41is probably a better move
11:42than like going to three different people
11:45and expecting your lips to like look good.
11:46Can't believe I'm doing this today.
11:47It's been so long since I had filler in my lips.
11:51I mean, it was, I mean, I guess three years.
11:53The last time I ever got injected was five years ago.
11:56I just want a little bit of my top lip.
11:57Like I just want a little bit of height.
11:59I've gone through all my old photos
12:01of where I did not like my filler
12:02and photos that I liked the filler.
12:04So I was looking in bed last night.
12:06This photo of me, I really like.
12:08I think that the lip is a little ducky.
12:10Like it's protruding a little too much
12:12but I like the height of my top lip.
12:14Like that is pretty.
12:16I like that.
12:17I'm like, who is that girl?
12:18And so I'm going to show her all these photos.
12:20Like I am prepared today to show her all these photos.
12:22I'm like, please, I cannot look like this.
12:25Please.
12:26I just want a little bit of height
12:27in the center of my lip here.
12:30And I want it to be flat.
12:31So that's what I'm going and telling her.
12:32I've also been taking Arnica tablets
12:34for the last three days, three times a day.
12:36It's supposed to help reduce the risk of bruising.
12:38And the last time I went, I was so badly bruised
12:41and I just, I'm really hoping to avoid that.
12:44But the day has come.
12:46I'm excited about my dysport
12:48because I know what that's going to look like.
12:49In three days, I'm going to feel, you know
12:51just a little bit more snatched.
12:53And then my lip will take a couple of days, you know
12:57to settle.
12:57I mean, really it takes two weeks
12:59but I'm hoping by tomorrow evening, it's not so bad.
13:03And the funny thing is, it's like,
13:04I'm not even that self-conscious about my lips.
13:07Like I'm really not like looking at them right now.
13:10It's pretty chill.
13:11I just like, if there was a little bit more
13:13I think I would be really excited.
13:15So we'll see if they look bad, they're getting dissolved.
13:18Like that's the beautiful thing about it is
13:19that you don't actually have to wait the way
13:21that I had to wait with a lip flip
13:22for it to work its way out of your system.
13:24You can get it dissolved.
13:25So I would just go in, doop, doop, doop
13:29and it's gone.
13:30But I have high hopes.
13:31I actually think it's going to end up turning out really nice
13:32and I think I'm going to really like it.
13:34That is what I'm hoping.
13:35Here's the before.
13:36That's still in a few hours.
13:38So I'm just going to get some work done for the morning
13:39and prepare myself for needles in the face.
13:45All right.
13:46I need to leave in like two minutes.
13:48I'm getting nervous.
13:49I feel like looking in the mirror today, I'm like, oh
13:50but my lips are like totally fine.
13:52This is always what happens.
13:53I feel like the days you go get your hair done
13:55like you're having such a good hair day, but you know
13:57I edit videos every single day of myself.
13:59And I noticed when I smile, like my lip curls in
14:02and I just, I would love a little bit
14:03of an upper lip when I smile.
14:05Like it's just, it's gone.
14:08It's also uneven.
14:09So this is the before.
14:12I also did want to make sure I talked about this
14:15with you guys.
14:15I didn't want to like get it done
14:16and then just not say anything.
14:18Especially when it comes to Botox,
14:19I feel like you can look at celebrities and be like, wow
14:21they still look so young and youthful
14:23and wonder like what skincare they're using.
14:24But like a lot of the time
14:25people are just getting Botox
14:27and it really can open your face.
14:29It can actually change your face a lot.
14:30That's not my goal with Botox.
14:32I just want to smooth my forehead and prevent, you know
14:34my lines from getting any deeper.
14:36But you can change your eye shape with Botox
14:38and people do like brow lifts.
14:39I just get like right up here.
14:41Anyways, I'll talk to you guys about everything
14:42after the appointment.
14:43I have to call my Uber.
14:45Okay. Okay.
14:46We're doing it.
14:47You know what?
14:48I'm excited.
14:48I'm so nervous, but I'm excited.
14:50What is the address?
14:51Where am I going?
14:52I was already having like a little caffeine headache
14:54from not having my coffee this morning.
14:56So that's fun.
14:57And you can't take any Advil
14:59because it'll thin your blood
15:00and then you're more prone to bruising.
15:02Okay. I have to call it right now.
15:03Then we'll get there perfectly on time.
15:05Okay. Let's go.
15:06Hello.
15:07Hello.
15:08Hello.
15:09Hello.
15:10Hello.
15:10Hello.
15:11Hello.
15:12Hello.
15:13Hello.
15:14Hello.
15:15Hello.
15:15Hello.
15:16Hello.
15:17Hello.
15:18Hello.
15:19Hello.
15:20Hello.
15:20Hello.
15:21Hello.
15:22Hello.
15:23Hello.
15:26It actually feels like spring.
15:28I'm so excited.
15:29My lips are so numb.
15:34I can't believe I'm even doing one of these vlogs again.
15:37Like it's been so long.
15:39My lips are super numb and they're starting to get sore
15:44because I think that the numbing is wearing off.
15:46I was so scared to look in the mirror at first
15:48because I was like, oh my God,
15:49like I feel like there's a lot of filler going in.
15:51Even though I knew I was only doing half
15:53and it couldn't be that crazy.
15:54I was like, I just, I just don't know.
15:55I don't know what it's going to look like,
15:57but I think, I think I'm going to really like this.
16:00So it's definitely swollen right now,
16:01but I don't even think it looks that crazy,
16:04but here they are.
16:07Like, I feel like it's a slag.
16:10Right now I can't really move my lips
16:12because they're like sore and they're fresh
16:15and they're numb.
16:16So like, I don't have a lot of movement,
16:19but she doesn't think there's going to be any bruising
16:21on the top lip, which would be so nice.
16:23And then one of her last pricks,
16:26she said she accidentally probably gave me a bruise,
16:29but I did it and I did my dysport,
16:31which is like all right up here
16:33and then here and in the middle.
16:35I'm pretty excited right now.
16:37Like it's giving my lips, but juicier.
16:39So most of it did go into the top lip.
16:41She said she also like evened out some asymmetry
16:44and then she put some in the bottom
16:45to like match the juiciness.
16:47Anyways, we'll see how they heal
16:50over the next couple of days.
16:51I don't think it looks that different, honestly,
16:53but like in a good way, like just enough.
16:56I'm curious to see what it's going to look like
16:57when I smile with my teeth.
16:58We're home for the rest of the day
17:00and I'm going to let this heal
17:02and I'm going to chill and edit.
17:04Can't believe I did it.
17:06I've been thinking about it for so long.
17:07I'm glad.
17:08I think, I think it's, I think it's good.
17:11Okay, I keep looking at myself
17:13because I need to like evaluate the lips.
17:15And now I'm thinking, I hope this isn't all swelling.
17:18Because I think this is like the perfect plumpness
17:22that I like.
17:23Like I know some of it's swelling, I think.
17:24I don't know.
17:25Actually, you know what?
17:26I got to get the ice pack.
17:27I like this.
17:28I feel like this is the perfect size.
17:31The icing is for the swelling and for bruising.
17:33Now I'm going to hang out on the couch,
17:35but I just need to pop in again
17:36and tell you what I think about the swelling,
17:37which is funny because people always say
17:39that you're going to miss the swelling once it goes down.
17:41I was like, no, no, I might though.
17:45Crazy, I can't wait to see it tomorrow.
17:47It is 9.30, so it's been like seven hours.
17:50I think they're a little bit more swollen
17:51than they were earlier.
17:52They're also definitely sore.
17:54Like I, it hurts to move a little bit.
17:58They're feeling stiff,
17:58but they haven't like puffed up majorly.
18:01The bruises haven't gotten any worse.
18:02Like maybe a little bit under here.
18:05And then this one that we knew right away,
18:07but it hasn't like spread.
18:08And then you hear it under here.
18:10But looking back at old footage,
18:11when I would get my lips done before,
18:13like this is the best it's ever been day of.
18:15Very little swelling, very little bruising.
18:17I'm not sure if it was just the injector
18:19and like her technique,
18:20or if it was from taking Arnica
18:22and like not drinking and not having caffeine.
18:24I don't know.
18:25Very curious to see what they'll look like tomorrow.
18:27Cause like, I'm still happy with the size right now.
18:29I think they're definitely a little bit bigger
18:30than they were when I left the clinic.
18:33But overall, like I'm pretty happy.
18:35It's 9.30 right now.
18:36So I'm going to bed really early.
18:38I'm just going to read until 11
18:41and then try to go to sleep
18:42so I can hopefully adjust to the time change.
18:43I'm going to try to sleep on my back tonight.
18:46I actually do that quite often,
18:47but tonight especially.
18:48So we don't like mess around.
18:50I am hoping though that by tomorrow evening,
18:53there's a bit more movement to the upper lip.
18:57That kind of hurts.
18:58I think if I had movement and like they didn't feel stiff,
19:01I would love them.
19:03I would love them.
19:04I like the size.
19:05I like the size.
19:06I'm excited.
19:07Just can't like visibly show you that right now
19:09cause it, it hurts.
19:10So I'm going to bed and I'll see you in the morning.
19:13Good morning guys.
19:15It is day two.
19:16Honestly, they don't look so bad.
19:18Like I'm kind of shocked.
19:19Like I definitely have a little bruise down here
19:21and then like some redness on the top here,
19:23but this is like nothing compared to what I had in the past.
19:26Even the swelling, I feel like it's just not bad.
19:28And maybe that's because I took precautions
19:30and like I did the things beforehand,
19:32but like, I think they look good.
19:33And I'm starting to get like my movement back a little bit.
19:36Like I can move more naturally again, which feels good.
19:39Still avoiding black coffee for this morning,
19:41just in case I don't want to make this worse,
19:43but I am having a tea
19:45and then I'm actually going to put some matcha in there.
19:47So I know there's like a little bit of caffeine,
19:49but I think it should be fine.
19:50Especially at this point, like, I don't know.
19:52I'm sure I could have coffee and it'd be fine.
19:53But a little while ago,
19:54Jill told me she had tried this Earl Grey tea
19:57with matcha and cream.
19:59I'm going to put a little bit of this
20:00French vanilla creamer in there.
20:02So honestly, this morning I was just going to have a matcha
20:03and I like mixed up the matcha with water.
20:06And then I went to grab my milk and it had spoiled.
20:08So I didn't want to waste matcha.
20:11And I had remembered this recipe with like
20:13Earl Grey, matcha, cream, and also I think milk.
20:16I think it's still going to be good.
20:18It's mostly just tastes like Earl Grey.
20:20Anyways, I will keep you updated throughout the day.
20:23See if the lips change at all.
20:24I don't even know if they got that swollen.
20:26I think last night before bed,
20:27they were a lot more swollen
20:28because I like felt them when I woke up
20:30and they felt kind of like flatter.
20:33Like the top here, especially.
20:34Day two, looking pretty good.
20:36I think I'm pretty happy with this choice.
20:38My dysport hasn't kicked in yet.
20:40I think that'll be like tomorrow starting
20:42or the day after that.
20:43Today is just a home editing day.
20:44So I'll keep you updated maybe every few hours.
20:48See if we can see any difference.
20:49I don't know.
20:50We'll see.
20:51Okay guys, it has officially been over 24 hours
20:53since I got the lips done.
20:55Honestly, I feel like I experienced almost no swelling.
20:57Like last night, I think was the worst of it.
20:59But waking up this morning, they were like,
21:02I felt like there was no swelling.
21:03I'm sure there's a little bit, maybe,
21:06but my movement is definitely coming back in the lip.
21:08Like I can pucker and that doesn't hurt anymore.
21:12Like I can move my lips.
21:13I feel the difference even from this morning.
21:14Obviously we have a tiny bruise
21:16and then just some redness up here, but it's really not bad.
21:18I thought I was gonna be embarrassed to leave the house
21:20for the first week, but this is not bad.
21:22Obviously I did some makeup.
21:23I washed my hair.
21:24It feels so much better.
21:26Didn't put any lip stuff on,
21:27but I feel like if I put on like a light gloss,
21:30it would disguise any discoloration.
21:32Overall, I'm very happy.
21:33I feel like they look so natural.
21:35Like no one on the street would be like,
21:36oh yeah, that girl's lips are done.
21:38I honestly think that if you didn't know that I did this,
21:42people wouldn't be able to tell.
21:43At least I think that.
21:44Like I don't think this looks too different
21:45from my natural lips.
21:46Just a little bit of something in my top lip
21:49so when I smile, my lip doesn't go away.
21:51I'm really happy.
21:52I feel like it looks really good.
21:53And I feel like if I didn't tell someone,
21:55they wouldn't know, which is what the goal was.
21:57Like I didn't wanna look like I had obvious filler.
22:00Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see much change
22:02from this point on, except for the bruises going away.
22:05But besides that, like I think this is what we have.
22:07Just a subtle little boost.
22:09Anyways, I've just been editing all day.
22:11Now it's 3.30 and I'm going to paint my mom
22:13a little birthday card.
22:14That's actually why I'm going to Florida.
22:16It's her 60th birthday.
22:18And there was no way I wasn't gonna be there.
22:20So that is the main reason I'm going to Florida.
22:22I'm going to be with family.
22:23And I painted Ryan a birthday card for his birthday.
22:27And I thought it was really cute
22:29and just like a little personalized touch.
22:31So I think that's gonna be my thing.
22:34I'm gonna paint everyone birthday cards.
22:35So I'm gonna work on this and I'll show you
22:38when I have my sketch down.
22:39Okay, here's my little sketch for her card.
22:41I'm also gonna write happy birthday at the top,
22:43but I'm gonna paint it with my watercolor.
22:46First time working at the new and improved craft table.
22:50Honestly, it feels perfect.
22:52Wow.
22:58Okay, here's the final card.
23:00Honestly, I think it turned out so cute.
23:02I think this is so fun for me
23:04to put this little personalized touch
23:05and then write obviously a nice message on the inside.
23:08I personally have always been way better
23:10at writing my feelings.
23:11So cards to me are awesome.
23:13They're great ways of expressing
23:14my gratitude towards people.
23:16And I think the little personalized touch is really fun.
23:19I think that's so cute.
23:20And also the table worked out great.
23:22Like that was a really nice place for me to work at.
23:25Feeling really good about this room.
23:27I also think I'm gonna end the vlog here.
23:29I don't think there's gonna be any changes
23:30for the rest of the day.
23:31And I have to get work done and then pack for Florida.
23:34So I'm gonna leave you here.
23:36I know not everybody is on board with the filler thing,
23:39but I think your body, your choice.
23:40Me doing this to myself affects nobody else.
23:43So someone's got a problem with me doing this.
23:46Take it up with yourself.
23:47I'd rather be, you know, transparent instead of hiding it.
23:50That is my two cents on that.
23:52I feel like the swelling is fully gone
23:54because they're only slightly bigger than my natural lips.
23:58Very, very slight.
23:59Anyways, that is where I'm leaving for today.
24:01You guys will see the updates in the next vlog,
24:04but I love you and I will see you in the next one.
