Got Spoiled for Mother's Day, BUT Now I'm Freaking Out!

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]I have the best husband in the world.

[00:00:02]So, my massage my 3hour massage service is about to start. Right now, I'm just soaking my feet and waiting on them to come do the flick scrub part. But I'm sorry.

[00:00:49]I'm literally so hungry right now. I'm eating my toddler's favorite snack.

[00:00:54]Well, two out of three. Her other one is a banana, but I'm not really a banana girl all the time. Like, I'll eat them sometimes, but they're just not really my thing. But the way she is obsessed with Baby Bell and these little cuties, she literally put me on. I've been eating it like crazy.

[00:01:15]I'll probably peel about three of these a day for her. It's crazy. But I'm never going to like stop her from eating fruit.

[00:01:25]But we're down to the last little bit of groceries. So, I was actually getting ready to put my list together for Kroger's and go grab some stuff that we need for the house. Oh, let me show y'all what I've been um using because y'all, the way that everything is just so inflated now is honestly insane. Like, it's it's just atrocious. like I'm just over it. But I want to put y'all on something because I genuinely think it will help save and you know we are all about saving especially nowadays. But I don't know if y'all ever heard of the Upside app if you haven't. Literally it's just a app you can download. It's free and anytime you get groceries, gas, or like going to store to purchase things, you are literally going to get cash back. They even have some back by using Upside. Literally, you just open the app. And here's the important part. You have to claim the offer and then you just pay with your credit card like usual. Get actual cash back. It's not points. It's not credits.

[00:02:35]They don't expire. It just goes straight to your bank account. Upside has given $1 billion to its users, y'all. That's a lot of savings. And to find out how much you can save, all you got to do is download the app. You're going to use promo code Destiny. I'll spell it out here for you. And this is really important because you're going to get 25 cents for every gallon that you put into your car on your first full tank of gas.

[00:02:59]That is literally such a major incentive for a free app. That's it. There's no catch. There's no twist. There's no nothing but cash back. I just woke up from the best nap.

[00:03:12]Oh, excuse me. Look at y'all's niece.

[00:03:16]Please get off of the kitchen counter.

[00:03:17]I'll leave for two seconds and Lord have mercy.

[00:03:23]I'm just saving your life. Okay. You want some water? Woo! I had such a good great Mother's Day week, actually. Um I did the spa that I showed y'all. I got gift and then um I got some edible treats. Chocolate covered strawberries.

[00:03:44]They're my favorite. Um, and what else?

[00:03:48]And then I just got to just chill. And we went to breakfast. IHOP, which is I mean not IHOP. Ew. Why would I even say that? Um, Waffle House, which is my favorite breakfast spot. So, it has been great. I've been enjoying this. Now, I'm just making a quick little quick the super easiest quick little dinner ever. It's just um like a sweet potato burger bowl. When I tell you this is the quickest, easiest meal and it's so good. So many flavors.

[00:04:24]Um so I'll show you it all put together.

[00:04:26]It's literally so easy. All you do is put your potatoes in a pot, cook them till they're done. Sweet potatoes. The seasoning that I put on them today was this burger seasoning and then Montreal steak seasoning, some and then some paprika. That's all I put on my sweet potatoes with the Graza oil and like a teaspoon of water and let them simmer on the stove. This Graza oil.

[00:04:58]And then you just make your ground beef.

[00:05:01]You cut up some tomatoes and pickles and then I like jalapenos on mine. Some lettuce and burger sauce. And literally that's it. It's so good though. Such low effort, but I was craving it. So, I'm so happy to be having it right now.

[00:05:26]It's filling and it tastes so good, y'all. Like, you have to try it.

[00:05:31]I'll leave my little Pinterest recipe below. Even though I don't use it, I just kind of like eye it and then just take off from there. But if you are the type of person that needs like specifics, I'll put it down below for you.

[00:05:47]But when I tell you this is so good, like you are going to be hooked. Plus, it's like healthy, right? It's healthy.

[00:05:54]It's yummy. And it's so easy. I think this is probably like because of all the like cutting prep, it's probably like a 30 minute meal. Plus, you know, sweet potatoes take a little bit to cook. I prefer to do it on the stove, but sometimes if I'm really really lazy, I'll just throw them in the oven, let the oven do all the work, and then go from there. But yeah, so we're going to have that for dinner. And then addressing the elephant in the room. My freaking eye, y'all. For the last two days, I have woken up and it's like crusty. It's swollen. It's sore. It's red. And I don't know what it is. I don't think it's pink eye because it's not like I don't know. It's just not what I would imagine pink eye to be. But I've never had pink eye so I don't know. And I don't know how I would have gotten it outside of like Ocean going to school. So, I don't know what it is, but I'm going to go have Well, Brandon actually made me an appointment tomorrow to see an eye doctor. So, I'm going to go do that and figure out what's going on with it because it's kind of scary.

[00:07:02]Anything dealing with eyes, I just kind of like freak out. I don't know because I think just because I'm so like unfamiliar with having to worry about my eyes because I was born with 2020, you know, just I've never like had to deal with anything I um so that's why also oceans having to wear glasses was such a big deal for me because usually I just never have any news from the eye doctor.

[00:07:29]So anywh who little bit freaked out about that but prayerfully all is well but it is quite annoying because it looks absolutely disgusting and it feels horrible.

[00:07:47]It's been throbbing like I don't know what it could be. And then it also like feels like something's in there. So maybe there's just something in there that's just like I don't know. Maybe I need a cleaning or something.

[00:07:58]But we shall see at the appointment tomorrow.

[00:08:02]I'm quite nervous. But I'm not going to let Excuse me, baby. Please stop that.

[00:08:09]I'm going to have to move this. You're done. You are done.

[00:08:14]She has this little step stool and I love it. Well, I've loved it up until now. This little step stool right here.

[00:08:22]But she's just been using it to climb on top of the kitchen counter, not just stand there. here and that's not what it's intended to do. And safety wise, yeah, I think we're over it. But, um, they look so good. Sweet potatoes look so good in our cooking.

[00:08:38]Yummy. For our drink tonight, we're going to have the white cran peach. This is so good, y'all.

[00:08:44]Not healthy, but very yummy. And I think it goes really good with burgers. So, it is what it is. Here it is in all her glory. is just lettuce on the bottom, the ground beef, um sweet potatoes, what is this? Pickles and jalapenos, tomatoes, cheese, and it's so good, y'all. With the burger sauce on top.

[00:09:07]So freaking yummy. Good job.

[00:09:14]Good job, mama.

[00:09:17]Good job.

[00:09:18]>> One more time. Good job. But you don't.

[00:09:24]>> Yes.

[00:09:26]Water.

[00:09:36]>> I got that done.

[00:09:37]>> Our hair done. We got to get our hair done.

[00:09:41]>> Yes.

[00:09:57]silence.

[00:10:00]My heart's beating.

[00:10:03]>> I am so embarrassed to go to the gym with my eye looking like this. Oh my gosh. I don't know if I should wear like glasses, but then that might be like either too obvious or just like not smart cuz they're going to get messed up. But I just feel more confident with the glasses on. I don't know if that's even a thing.

[00:10:29]Um gosh, it won't stop watering. I'm have to get rid of this towel, which is clean. I just used it to I just hung it up this morning.

[00:10:42]But I don't know what I should do. It's so embarrassing cuz my eye is like I don't know if you can tell. I think it's pretty obvious though. It's like way lower now too cuz it's so swollen. I don't want to touch it. But yeah, this is just a disaster.

[00:11:00]Um but my eye appointment is literally right after the gym. So, I'm going to do that. I guess I should just not have them on. I guess I'll just look crazy, but I feel like if I wear the glasses, then it's not going to be a comfortable workout. Anyhoo, annoying. Um, wait, where's my ring?

[00:11:28]Oh, I lost my wedding ring. Um, but yeah. Anyho, I think I'm going to leave a little bit early just to like grab a coffee.

[00:11:38]I'm like in desperate dire dire need.

[00:11:43]But the first thing I need to do is brush my teeth. Yeah, I have not brushed my teeth yet. You know, when I get up, it's like go time because I had a workout this morning. I hurry up and like just got my clothes on and then Ocean usually gets up right after that.

[00:12:00]So, get her hair done, brush her face, brush her face, brush her teeth, wash her face, moisturize her again, put her outfit on, do her hair, and then she's out the door, and then I can finish getting ready. So, that's why I haven't um brushed my teeth yet. I'm not just like a gross girl. Anyhoo, little mouth care. I'm going to I love this Crest 3D White. the only toothpaste that I swear by, the Arctic mint flavor.

[00:12:33]Um, and then we use these tongue scrapers. We get a set of these off of Amazon. I like the little plastic ones.

[00:12:40]They're so good. And then what's so crazy is I discovered this electric toothbrush um because I did a brand deal with them probably like two year two and a half years ago or maybe just two years ago.

[00:12:55]But anyway, we've been using them ever since. It's called Sucus. S O O C A S.

[00:13:02]And this mug is so dope because first of all, we've only had to charge it like twice in that time frame, maybe three times.

[00:13:10]But um also it's like a water floss as well. So it's a electric toothbrush and a water floss. So um I love this thing so much. And you just get the little or like exchangeable heads off of Amazon. But I love this, y'all. This toothbrush, this toothbrush literally changed the game for me because before this, I was using just a regular toothbrush. I thought the the um electric thing was like a hype, but this mug goes hard. I love this so much. Um, so yeah. Anyway, going to brush my teeth and then I want to leave just a little bit early so I can go run and grab a coffee and mentally prepare myself for this workout cuz we didn't work out all last week, which is not good because we still had to pay the money. But it was just so much going on. And um I think Miranda wasn't feeling good in the beginning of the week. Then at the end of the week, I wasn't feeling good. So yeah, it's just we took a whole week off, but it's all good because mentally I'm still there.

[00:14:18]You know what I mean? Like years ago, if I stopped going already, I would be like over it and done. But I'm already like prepared to get back in there. Like I never left. So it's all good in the hood. I have on this cute little workout set by Season 10 um by Makeup Shayla. I don't know if you guys know her. You got to know her if you're on YouTube. I'm not one of those girls that like um like fitted workout clothes from top to bottom. It's just not my vibe. Like I like a loose fit and it has nothing to do with like insecurities or anything like that, but it's just more so like I don't know. I don't want to be like, you know, just I don't know. Maybe one day I'll get there. But I like for something baggy to go over my workout stuff. So I got on my leggings, which are really good. And then the bralette. And then I just put this cute little tea. I got a big set of them from No, it wasn't a set. I got them all individual from Misguided.

[00:15:33]So, you'll see me wear these a lot. I got a yellow, I got white, I got black, I got this maroon color, I got pink, I got a nude color cuz I think they were like $10. But it's like mesh material so it's breathable. And then you can still see the cute shape underneath. You know, you can still see the body, but also it's like light and airy. And I just think it's cuter to me when I don't know, everything is not so skin tight with workout clothes. I just I feel like I'm just personally not comfortable with that. I like to have something over it, even if it's like a jacket. But honestly, it's just so freaking hot. I was like, you know what? I'm over the jacket thing. Let me figure out something else. So, this is what I doing.

[00:16:20]So, and then I just put on my little headband that I got from Amazon. I swear by these. These preserve um my sew in so good. And then plus they're just cute to me. Like I just been wearing them on some like it's part of the outfit vibe. But uh yeah, so that's the fit for the day. So yeah, let me show you the full fit.

[00:16:43]Plus it's cute. Like if you want to like tie it up, you can. If you prefer to show more, you know, you can do that.

[00:16:49]But it just feels so good to like this material just feels good.

[00:16:53]>> Scored the goods. And now we're off to the gym.

[00:17:05]T t see my conscience. Yeah. Yeah. My conscious mind want no weapon for against me. No nonsense. Spirit clean so we move so flawless.

[00:17:27]Yeah. But got me through the storm.

[00:17:31]Every turnless mesh flame everything.

[00:17:40]>> You got me nervous when I touch my eyebrow.

[00:17:43]>> Okay. So, I went to the doctor and they confirmed that it is like conjunctivitis or something like some kind of itis. I don't know.

[00:17:51]>> Never heard of that. Um, but basically it's just and I figured this is what it was, but he was like, "Do you have any like kids or anything that's like" And I was like, "Yeah, actually I do." So anyway, Ocean has this new thing where like she's been pointing at our nose, our cheeks, our lips, our eyes. But when she points to my eyes, she'll like lift it up and like poke inside my eye. Like that's like her favorite thing to do.

[00:18:17]And um she'll say, "Mommy, eyes." So anyway, I think that um I probably got like a little bug from her from daycare.

[00:18:27]So that's what it was. But he was like nothing like some eye drops won't fix.

[00:18:31]So they called in eye drops and I'll have those today and then he said hopefully it'll clear up within the next like few days, 3 days or so. But um yeah, so it's finally settled. I was scared y'all because my vision was getting blurry and that's what was bothering me. I was like, um, I'm I'm like other people when they go to like regular doctors. Like I'm super freaked out when it's time to go to the eye doctor. So anyway, I'm glad.

[00:18:55]>> You know what? I ain't even capping when I say this. You probably got to be the most sexy blur eyed person I ever seen in my life cuz you still look your eyes still look fire.

[00:19:05]>> First of all, whatever.

[00:19:08]>> Do you need this clip?

[00:19:09]>> Let me see.

[00:19:10]>> She almost didn't want to go out nowhere just because I'm like, man, you can't let that stop us. Like we this what we do. we get out like no matter what the situation is.

[00:19:18]>> Yeah. But it's just so like it looks nasty. Like I went to go check the PO box earlier and literally the first thing they're like, "How are you?" And I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I just feel like I have to tell you I have like pink eye or something because I feel like everybody's going to be looking at it."

[00:19:34]Even as soon as Melina saw me this morning when we went to the gym, she's like, "Oh my god, what is that?" I'M LIKE, "I KNOW. IT'S SO cuz it's so little." like, "Oh, what the heck?" Oh, it's so weird. Anyway, >> and then on top of that, she had a headache glass yesterday and then her her monthly home girl pulled up.

[00:19:53]>> Yeah. So, I'm just like going through it.

[00:19:55]>> I'm going through it. Plus, I'm taking shots every two day. I mean, every day.

[00:19:59]>> Yeah. We on day three of those, by the way. I think we Oh, we we told y'all earlier, but >> yeah, >> it goes by. So, you know what's funny?

[00:20:06]Like, I feel like this time it's going by quicker than it did last time.

[00:20:09]>> That's what I was telling y'all. Like, it's literally going But you know what it is? It's literally because this time we don't need surgeries or anything like before that was what kept like we kept going back and it was something else every time. So I feel like the delay the first time was like almost a year.

[00:20:28]>> Yeah.

[00:20:29]>> Of like surgeries healing surgery healing surgery healing. So it was like Yeah. But this time >> we already got the calendar like we got the egg retrieval date. I mean we already got everything already set in stone. So now it's just executing man.

[00:20:41]>> Yeah. Literally, it feels like it's so much smoother. But I'm trying to like still maintain my composure and not like get too happy because, you know, that first time when it did fail, it's just like, oh my god, thinking about that could possibly happen again. But I'm like, but why is this time like really so smooth?

[00:20:58]Like is that a sign that like it's going to be smooth?

[00:21:02]>> But um yeah, we'll see. See, my eye is watering now for no reason. Yeah.

[00:21:06]>> Dang, I was just about to sing my song.

[00:21:08]Don't cry.

[00:21:12]And it's an exciting week, y'all. It's going to be so many good things popping off. Make sure you come back to the next vlog. It's going to be lit. We get our pool table in.

[00:21:25]Our drapes get finished, and I mean, that's pretty much it, but like that's major. I'M SO HAPPY, Y'ALL.

[00:21:33]WOO. Those are two major major major major major major things because we finally now get to like spend some time in our game room and have fun in there.

[00:21:43]I'm going to get my work done that way I can actually enjoy the rest of the day.

[00:21:49]So, oh, and I got some edible arrangements the other day. So, I'm going to eat a couple of these and then have me a bagel and then get right to work. That way, I can have some fun later. I love you. We appreciate you. We appreciate your time and your energy and support and we'll see you in the next vlog. Bye. Love you.
