Good morning, guys. It's Sid and welcome
So, I'm on the move this morning. No
sitting down intro. We're getting
straight to business. It's Monday and
I'm doing a week in my life. I'm
starting out the day going to work, per
usual, at a coffee shop. I find it
better this way. Like I find that I'm
more productive by just getting out of
my apartment like right away. I don't
know. I feel like over time you just
find things that work for you and things
that don't. And it's something that's
really helped me. It's sunny today. You
already know it's going to be a great
day. Quick outfit check. I'm wearing
this top from Brandy and then my jacket
from White Fox. You guys love this
jacket. I'm wearing this bag from Long
Champ. And then sweats or leggings, yoga
pants, same thing. The first thing I'm
doing is a meeting with my accountant,
[music] and it's actually in three
[music]
I started by getting a coffee, a
non-negotiable. Honestly, my favorite
part of my day is this. [music] And then
I hopped on the call. This ended up
being about an hour long. Also, I know
my headphones are very tangled, but it's
pretty productive. I don't know what
else to say about an accountant. I don't
really know much about that field, but
they are very helpful. Hey guys, so
update. I'm on my way to go vote. It's
about 5 10 minutes from my apartment. I
know that the election is over by the
time you're watching this, but make sure
to get out there and vote in the
elections. It's actually not that late.
I know it looks like it, but it's really
only 5:30 p.m. Daylight [music] savings.
Who is it even saving? Okay, that joke
is overset. But anyways, I'm going out
to vote. I promise this vlog will not be
fully iPhone. Quality is really going
down on this channel minuteby minute.
I'm back home now. I ended up running to
the bodega really last minute and I got
a few things and I thought a bodega haul
would be fun. It's going to be quick.
There's not that much stuff. I love
going to the bodega and I do romanticize
it, I think, because I'm not from here.
So, first thing I got was a travel
toothbrush kit because I'm going on a
trip soon and I'm really excited and
I'll tell you guys more about that later
in the week. I also got cookies. Going
grocery shopping when you're hungry is
like never good. And I did already eat
them. I ate three and I did eat the next
item as well. Okay, I got home
immediately started eating. I got these
crackers. These are like my favorite
crackers. You guys know if you watched
my recent vlog. They're so good. I
actually don't really get this flavor
that often. They're Simple Mills almond
flour crackers. I could eat five boxes
of these at once. I got some milk. I
drink regular milk now, which has been a
thing for me for a little bit. The last
thing I got were some eggs. I hope I
didn't break these.
We're good. So, I got some eggs for
breakfast in the morning. I got these
flowers. These are kind of different,
but I thought that they were fun for the
occasion. In a few minutes, I'm leaving
to go to my friend Nia's book premiere
dinner. It's more like a celebratory
dinner. She released a book. I'm so
proud of her. You guys should definitely
check it out. If you're watching this,
Nia, I love you. I'm so excited for you.
Hey guys,
>> I'm with Mia. Everyone, go grab her new
book. Tell Tell them what to do.
>> Go get Bottom of the Pyramid out right now.
now.
>> Now. [laughter]
Yay. Love you. I'm so proud of you.
Thank you. [music]
Good morning. I'm scared to look at
wow, I have no thoughts yet. I'm still
like rebooting. I have a few things
today. I have a doctor's appointment. I
have a couple meetings and then I might
see my friends for coffee. I'm going to
try. But first thing is this morning I'm
so excited because I'm having cleaners
come. They're coming from HomeGo, which
>> Hi. Yes. How are you?
>> Sorry guys, as I was filming, the
cleaner got here. She's in the kitchen
right now working on our cabinets and
doing kind of like a deep clean. This is
what our kitchen looks like before. And
I'll show you guys also what it looks
like after. I'm just so excited for
fall. And one of the things that my
roommate and I talked about was how we
wanted to have a deep fall clean.
Seasonally, that is when I usually try
to like deep clean myself. It's just
such a good time to have a reset at like
the start of every season. And I've just
been getting in the fall spirit. I even
got these orange [music]
flowers for myself. It is nice cuz it
takes one of the big things off of my
to-do list and leaves me time to just do
more fun things like with my [music]
friends, my roommate. I'm going to go
get coffee in a few minutes because my
friends and I want to get like a full
coffee. And I'm so excited to be working
with HomeGLow on this video. If you
haven't heard of HomeGo, it's a top
rated home service dedicated to keeping
your home and [music] space clean. It is
really convenient because you just go
online and book the cleaner on HomeGL
and they'll find the person in your
area. I also like how it's a great way
to support cleaners because 100% of the
tips and cleaning service fees go
directly to the cleaner. To schedule
cleaning, it is really easy. You just go
to Homogo's website and choose the day
or time that you're looking for and the
duration of your cleaning and you'll see
all the available cleaners. And you can
schedule as quickly as like this week or
get something on the calendar for next
month. So, just get it off your to-do
list. You can also browse photos and
reviews of background checked cleaners
before choosing [music] the right
cleaner for you. So, if you want to
check them out, make sure to click the
link in the description. They also have
a Forever Clean membership, [music] by
the way, that I wanted to mention. It
actually saves you $30 an hour on all
future cleanings. So, you can even book
cleanings at starting at $19 an hour,
which is really crazy. After the first
month, like the membership just pays for
itself. [music] So, if you want to take
home cleaning off of your to-do list
this fall, you can use my link to go to
homeuggo.com/serena. [music]
I'll also try to put it on the screen.
And you can actually get your first 3
hours of cleaning for [music] only $19.
But I'm going to head out and grab
coffee with my friends. I hope I can get
like a pumpkin latte cuz I want to be festive.
festive. [music]
I feel like I failed you guys. I went
into the coffee shop and I barely
vlogged. Okay, I'm very sorry. It's kind
of my pet peeve when people or vloggers
like say they're going to do something
and then they don't show it and then I
just [music] did that and I feel guilty.
But I'll fill you in. It wasn't a super
long thing, but my friends and I got
pumpkin lattes or I got a pumpkin latte.
It was really good. Honestly, if I had
to rate it, I'd say a 9 out of 10. And I
do feel like I'm really getting in the
fall spirit next to this tree. They also
Oh, wow. Look at that car. Anyways, I
had a meeting scheduled for 11:00, which
was 10 minutes ago, and it just got
cancelled. It was supposed to be with my
jewelry manufacturer. So, I have a
doctor's appointment in 2 hours, but
since that got cancelled, I thought in
the meantime, I would run to Aritzia and
I don't know, a couple clothing stores.
I need some new clothes for a trip that
I'm going on next week. And then I'm
going to head back because I want to
check in on the cleaner, see how things
are going. It's kind of nice cuz I can
still like message her even though I'm
not home. and things seem to be going
really well. Anyways, I'm gonna have
like a nice little hour.
I'm just gonna go I'm just going to go
shop. A beautiful day in Soho. Sometimes
this place is very overstimulating for
me and I [music] tend to avoid it. I
ended up stopping in Skims and Aritzia.
Like I said, I was prepping for a trip
that was coming up. So, I felt like I
had a good excuse. Grabbed some food and
then after that, I had a doctor's
appointment also to prep for my trip. I
got a couple shots and I didn't faint
this time. Sometimes that happens.
Success, I guess. Okay, guys. So, I just
got my shots. I was walking home and I
don't know. Am I just like that easily
influenced because I saw this sign for a
head massage and I actually don't have
anything going on the rest of the night
and I really want to go do it. Like,
I've always wanted to do this. I've seen
it on TikTok. I guess I'm being
spontaneous. Should I be doing this?
Probably not. I should be going home
doing productive things, but I really
want to do it and I'm usually not that
spontaneous. So, let's see if they have
an appointment available or like an
opening and then I can show you guys how
it is. See, that's my excuse is that I'm
doing this to give you guys a review
when in reality it's just a reason for
me to go do it. Looking back, what was
this day? Like, this was the most
perfect day I've had going shopping and
trying out [music] the famous head
massage. I am a bit like let down. It
was really nice, but I sort of would
just like prefer a regular massage over
this. I feel like the people that posted
on TikTok make it look so much cooler.
The apartment is looking so nice. She
did such an amazing job. Look how nice
and clean it is. She wiped everything
down, did the floors, which is like my
least favorite thing to do. It looks so
nice. I just wanted to show you guys the
after. Thank you, Homeglow, for the
beautiful apartment.
Good morning. It's so sunny. Can you see
There's nothing I love more than the
sun. Good morning, guys. It's 9:00 a.m.
I slept in a little extra because I
ended up staying up pretty late last
night looking at flights for
Thanksgiving and like Christmas and
going back to Minnesota. Today, I am
going to try to get a lot of stuff done.
I have a couple campaigns and just
videos that I want to film at my
apartment. And then I also have a lot to
do for Oilia. But most of the stuff that
I do for that is like on my laptop since
I'm working on hiring a new social media
girl and then the next collection. Like
a lot of that's just like on my laptop.
So I think I'm going to go get coffee
and get some work done. And then later
I'll come back and do some filming here.
I'm also going to make dinner tonight
and hang out with my roommate. We might
go golfing. So yeah, I'm excited. First
thing, let's get this bed made.
[clears throat] Oh, I also listen to
podcasts most mornings. specifically
this guy, the Mindset Mentor. I'm like
such a loyal fan to this guy. His name's
Rob Dial. It's just become a part of my
routine to listen to him and he's very
like positive and uplifting, which
really like rubs off on me, especially
at like the start of my day. Whatever I
consume really sets the tone. So, I try
to be very intentional and like not
scroll on TikTok and instead listen to
someone like him. He's just kind of like
a life coach almost and [music] talks
about like working towards your goals,
strategies, ways to be more productive,
happiness, everything. So that's who I
listen to in case you're wondering.
>> Easy to
>> is available to every single person.
It's breakfast time and my current
rotation are scrambled eggs.
Specifically with onion, which I almost
burned as you can see. My hack is I like
to get pre- chopped up onions at the
grocery store. It saves me so much time
and it makes for a pretty good
breakfast. We'll see how long this one
lasts. And then I went to go work at my
same coffee shop that I've been also
going to every day. I was working on
stuff for Oilia while simultaneously
>> [music]
>> I'm working at the coffee shop. I have
my headphones in and I'm kind of having
trouble speaking right now because I
have music blasting in my ears. It's
like elevator music because I'm on hold
with UPS and I've been on hold with them
for 25 minutes. So, all I'm hearing is
elevator music bosova style going
through me right now and I can't give up
my spa on hold, you know? [music] It's
like I'm committed. After 20 minutes,
like I'm never hanging up, like never
ever hanging up again. But as I'm on
hold, I am just doing some emails. I
think I said this earlier, but I just
hired someone new for Oilia. I have
someone help me with the social media
accounts. It's really fun. Like the
marketing and like photography behind it
all is something I like really enjoy,
but I definitely like need help with it.
I have a new great girl, so I'm really
excited. I'm setting up a meeting with
her for tomorrow morning. And so I'm
kind of just like prepping the like
onboarding, I guess you would say, even
though it is like a very small company.
It's like just me and the manufacturers.
It is fun to like work with people and
it kind of makes it like less lonely.
Like I love like collaborating with like
very creative people. And then I'm also
submitting one of the videos to a brand
that I have going live tomorrow.
Everyone here in this area works in
finance and I do feel a little out of
place. Everyone's in like suits and has
a headset on and I'm just like editing
my little YouTube video. Update because
I forgot to film for like an hour. I got
home. I ate lunch. I actually just had
like a microwavable meal cuz I was lazy.
I did a few more emails and I had a call
that I wanted to do here and like not at
the coffee shop. It's now 2:30 in the
afternoon. My roommate and I like to
plan cooking nights. We switch off who
gets the groceries and then we usually
try to cook together cuz it's more fun
and it's so much easier making a meal
for two people rather than one. Buying
all the ingredients just for one person
like never makes sense. So, it's kind of
like perfect and we have a lot of fun
doing it. So, tonight is my night to go
get the groceries. So, I'm going to go
grab the stuff for dinner. It's the
sweet potato chicken bowls. I think I
put this in a vlog recently. And I also
just need a couple groceries in general
because I've been eating out kind of a
lot and I would rather not. I'm trying
not to eat out so much. So, I'm going to
go pick up just a few groceries and I'm
going to take you guys with me. I've
changed my mind. I like grocery shopping
when it is not Sunday. I feel that I can
barely even move in the grocery store on
Sundays, so I try to avoid it at all
costs. [music] I found some great
things. I actually found too many things
to the point where I had to taxi [music]
home. Sometimes I'll walk. Today that
just wasn't the case. I had too much to
carry. I'm back from the grocery store
and looking in the viewfinder, I'm
realizing how much I need to selftan.
Dave, my editor, please make me look
more tan. I got quite a few things and I
usually try not to Uber home. I try to
walk home, but I got so much stuff that
I kind of had to take a car. I picked up
some fun groceries, so I wanted to do
like the quickest grocery haul ever. I'm
not going to show everything. Some of
it's like kind of boring. We're making
dinner tonight, like I said, so you'll
see the stuff that I got for dinner
later, but I got some mini peppers for a
snack. I also got some cold brew coffee.
I got a ton of poppies. These are my
favorite flavor, the lemon lime. I
usually like order them on Amazon, but I
ran out. I wanted to try this. I have no
idea what this is going to be like at
night. I need to eat something sweet
every [music] night, unfortunately. And
this looked good. I've never seen this
before. It's supposed to be like a
slightly healthier ice cream. Dark
chocolate ice cream and honeycomb
pieces. I don't know. It looked good to
me, so we'll see. Got some plain Greek
yogurt, some granola, ziki for dinner
tonight. Oh, I got these mini cookies.
And I honestly shouldn't have gotten
these because the last time I [music]
ate them, I had way too many and I got
the worst stomach ache after. So, I just
have self-control, but these are really
good. I got some of these mini kettle
corn bags. I like how they're
pre-portioned because I would eat the
whole giant bag in one sitting. My
favorite crackers. You guys have seen
these a million times by now. Some
sourdough. Tons of avocado. I also got
these Smart Sweets. I really like these.
Everything is like dessert that I'm
showing you. I also got some
blueberries. Yeah, that's the gist of
what I got besides some of the groceries
for dinner. So, I'm going to put these
in my fridge and then I think we're
going to leave to go [music] golfing
soon. Did I ever think I would be a
golfer? No. Never once did this cross my
mind. But my friend Olivia and I have
been really loving to go. And it's also
so much more fun to go with a friend.
And so we've been taking lessons together.
Golf was cold. It was fun, but it was
really freezing. Am I getting better?
No. Well, I feel like we're slowly
getting there. Anyways, we're back home
now. We are making dinner. Olivia's
chopping it up. Hi guys. [laughter]
You guys, we're like so hungry that we
can't even we can't even function. We're
like trying to make this as quickly as
possible. We're freaking out. Like we
have no time to kill.
>> He's like Top Chef [laughter] right now.
We're like on the I'm like I'm like
having a freak out right now.
>> You're so [laughter] fast with it. Okay.
Like I'm lacking. Like I need to get to work.
Guys, this is our favorite meal ever.
I'll put the recipe in the description
box if anyone wants to make it. It's so
good. And I feel fake because actually
Olivia showed me this recipe and we eat
it at least once a week. And the trick
are the white sweet potatoes.
>> It is
>> right cuz I've gotten the regular and
they're just not as good. Cheers. >> Cheers.
>> Cheers.
[music]
>> Good morning, guys. I'm currently
marinating. I woke up immediately put
self-tanner on my body. Why did I say
that weirdly? If you selftan, you know
it's a process. Like last night, I got
in the shower. I did the whole
exfoliating thing right before bed. Then
you did the moisturizer. Now I'm waking
up and I'm at business. So I'm currently
sitting in self-tanner. I have to wait a
couple hours, which is why my outfit is
pretty casual. But this morning I
decided I was going to wash my sheets.
Plan is I am going to go down, drop off
my laundry because that's on the second
floor of my apartment, get the laundry
started, and then ooh, I have a meeting
in exactly 30 minutes that I have not
prepped for at all. So I really need to
hurry because I'm going to be doing that
at the coffee shop and I still need to
prep. It's for the new social media girl
at Oilia. I hired her a couple days ago.
She's so great. So, that's the morning.
I'm gonna quickly get that done. This is
my breakfast, by the way. Berries with
[music]
I'm back at the same coffee shop. I'm
very predictable, but you know, I found
my coffee shop that I like and I get a
lot done here. They also have like
massive booths, like massive tables, and
they're very comfortable seats, so I
like it. And I got a free coffee today,
guys, because my punch card was filled
up, and they gave me a 24 oz that I
already drank. That's very concerning.
I know it's dark outside. I know you
guys are confused. What did you do all
day? Like, what happened? Actually,
basically, nothing happened cuz I was
just sitting on my laptop working for
majority of the day. And then I went and
I got a croissant with Olivia, my
roommate. And that's about it. I'm
trying to revive myself because Olivia
and I are going to go out tonight. We're
going to get dinner. It's actually like
nothing crazy. It's like her friend's
event or something. So, I need to dress
up for that. But first, before I get
dressed for that, I'm going to do the
dreaded task of putting my fitted sheet
on. And then I have all my other laundry
in here that I also did today. For some
Okay guys, this is my outfit for dinner.
top is from Quint. This little tank is
from Skiims. I forget where I got these
pants. I think I thrifted them a long
time ago. Old Sha Vita boots, the one I
wear all the time. And that is the fit.
I touched up like my hair and makeup and
stuff. So, we're going to head out. It's
actually not dinner. We realized I think
it's just like drinks thing. So, [laughter]
>> I was wrong. [laughter]
>> A little mishap, but that's okay. And
we're going to go. Bye. So, it actually
was a dinner. [music] We were wrong.
[snorts] Thankfully, it was because I
did not eat prior and it was so good.
The event was decorated so nicely and we
had such a nice night. And then I woke
up the next morning, Friday, looking
real [music] rough. Be warned.
Good morning.
Okay. Wow. Oh my gosh. Scary. I'm
scared. I kind of need to clean up my
room cuz I never finished my laundry. [music]
[music]
>> All right, guys. My room is looking 10
times better. That was very necessary.
But now I have my eye patches on because
I'm recovering. I'm recovering from last
night. Okay, I'm a little down in the
dumps. These, I think, will do the
trick. Today, what I need to do is pack.
That's why I have those clothes over
there for my trip. You guys will see
where I'm going. I don't want to say
where I'm going just yet. Just stay
tuned. You know, I'm going to be packing
for that, though. And then at the same
time, I'm packing for you guys because
there's a couple Oilia orders that I
need to pack up and ship out that you
guys ordered this week. I'm really
excited for our next collection. That is
so exciting. We haven't had a new
collection in like 7 months because we
did like this whole transition with the
manufacturers and everything. I think
it's going to be really worth it. So,
anyways, I'm going to pack these orders
really quick, ship them off, and then
we'll see. Maybe grab some coffee and
get packing. This is just like a cute,
[music]
>> Wait, by the way, guys, I just took
those eye patches off and they actually
work. I'm shocked at how well they work.
Do you guys notice like the darkness? I
didn't put any concealer on either and
usually my eyes are like pretty dark
underneath. [music] So, I'm very happy.
Okay, I just had to include a little
product review, but let's go to the
[laughter] post office. [music]
So, I just dropped off the packages. I
am honestly scared I'm going to fall
asleep as I'm walking on the street. So,
I think I'm going to go get coffee. I
really never wanted to be this reliant
on coffee is the thing. It starts
[music] out so slowly and you don't
realize how much you become reliant on
it and now here I am. Kind of feel like
I'm in a dream right now. Like that's
how tired I am. Everything seems fake.
Long story short, I'm getting coffee.
That's it. And then I'm going to go to a
diner. I'm meeting my boyfriend at our
favorite diner in Tribeca. But I do need
So I'm back with my mini microphone.
This is when you know things get
serious. It's review time. [music]
This is actually not a review. I get
this like all the time. It's the
Daydream Latte from Blank Street. It's
really good. It's like cinnamon,
vanilla, all the things I like in my
lattes. But I'm sitting here for a few
minutes because before lunch, I am going
to be reading my friend's book. I got
this in the mail last night. It came in
from Amazon because Barnes & Noble was
sold out, which is amazing. I actually
went to her event earlier in the week. I
showed you guys this. Like I vlogged
with Nia, but Nia came out with a book.
She's one of my like best best friends
and I couldn't be more proud of her. So,
of course, like I'm about to read it and
I'm so excited. I just want you [music]
to know Nia is like the best friend in
the entire world. She is such a sweet
person. Like every positive quality that
you could imagine in someone, she has.
She just deserves the absolute world. I
can't imagine my life without her and
I'm so proud of her for this book and
for her sharing her story. I love you,
Nia, so much. Thanks for being the best
and I'm so proud of you. Everyone go by
bottom of the pyramid. So, I'm going to
>> Well, [music]
I have an update for you guys. I'm all
packed. Can you see that? My suitcases.
I came [music] home after the diner. I
really got to work and I packed up my
whole life. No, I'm kidding. I'm only
gone for a week. I just I overpack. I'll
probably be posting about my trip on
Instagram, [music] so stay tuned there.
I'm so excited. But thank you guys so
much for watching. Love you guys and
I'll see you in my next vlog. Bye. [music]
