00:01:49
Levi is napping and I'm about to get
00:01:52
dressed so today I have an event a
00:01:55
long-term partner via is opening up one
00:01:58
of their Flagship stores in Hong Kong
00:02:00
and they have asked me to go to that
00:02:02
starting off with this white maxi skirt
00:02:05
little t-shirt and this short sleeved
00:02:08
jacket do we like it buttoned or
00:02:10
unbuttoned or maybe a little bit of both
00:02:14
uhuh let's add a belt to break it up
00:02:17
okay now for the shoes I'd like to thank
00:02:19
via for sponsoring this portion of the
00:02:21
Vlog use code Taylor R for 12% off
00:02:24
everything on their website including
00:02:26
some of the shoes I'm going to show you
00:02:28
today I am I'm going to wear these Mary
00:02:31
Jane love the Timeless shape they're not
00:02:33
too Square not too round have a nice
00:02:34
buckled detail love the neutral color
00:02:37
that's going to go with everything and
00:02:38
anything a love what the company stands
00:02:40
for they use eco-friendly materials like
00:02:43
recycled plastic bottles rice husks and
00:02:45
sugar cane Evo and they're so
00:02:48
comfortable these are the only shoes
00:02:50
that are not running shoes that I can
00:02:51
run around all day in and not get
00:02:53
blisters because they have this padding
00:02:55
at the bottom and at the heels that
00:02:57
really support and make your feet feel
00:02:59
good good they're flexible too so not
00:03:01
only do they move with your foot but you
00:03:03
can also just shove them into your bag
00:03:04
when you're wearing heels or something a
00:03:06
little bit more uncomfortable and uh
00:03:08
just flip them out whenever you're done
00:03:11
and carry on with happier feet I also
00:03:15
got red flats for whenever I want to
00:03:18
have an outfit with a pop of color and I
00:03:21
got these slides that I can pop onto run
00:03:24
errands go to the pool go to the beach
00:03:26
whatever these will be great in Hong
00:03:28
Kong all year long actually not just
00:03:29
this summer look at the squishy squishy
00:03:32
body so back to getting dressed let's do
00:03:33
these gold earrings babbe hair off
00:03:36
ponytail is in now for the bag this is
00:03:39
where I'm stucked because I feel like
00:03:42
this one works but it's a little bit too
00:03:44
matchy matchy we do I go with the black
00:03:48
without the belt maybe think so
00:03:56
[Music]

00:05:04
my legs and then I looked
00:05:09
down bag ripped and the curry was
00:05:12
pouring out of the bag I say that I was
00:05:15

oh my
00:05:33
God good thing I'm just going home he
00:05:36
went to me and
00:05:37
then I don't know I think it was Levi's
00:05:40
actually which is okay cuz he doesn't
00:05:42
need much
00:05:57
soup put say
00:06:00
b no it's not Rosie it's it's Mama spill
00:06:04
the curry just
00:06:06
now
00:06:26
okay wow that worked really well
00:06:30
I grabbed a few more pairs of shoes
00:06:31
yesterday so I'm going to show you a few
00:06:34
of my favorites these sneakers they are
00:06:37
my everyday shoes I love how you can
00:06:38
just slip them on without any hands and
00:06:41
again they are so so comfortable they
00:06:43
feel like you're wearing a springy sock
00:06:45
and they just came out with their new
00:06:47
Ryan this has an anti-slip sole it's
00:06:50
water
00:06:53
repellent W the water just falls off of
00:06:56
them my sock is completely dry and again
00:07:00
it's easy to flip on without using any
00:07:02
hands at all which is pretty rare for
00:07:04
boots this is dark chocolate and this is
00:07:06
new peach great neutrals to throw on
00:07:08
with any fall winter outfit again my
00:07:11
discount code is Taylor R for 12% off
00:07:13
their entire website I will link
00:07:16
everything below
00:07:19
[Music]
00:07:30
just sat down to eat my late breakfast
00:07:33
which you just saw me make I've got some
00:07:35
keto bread this is made from almond
00:07:36
flour egg whites and celum hus and salt
00:07:38
I think and then I toss some spinach and
00:07:40
tomatoes in a apple cider vinegar and a
00:07:43
good extra virgin olive oil salt and
00:07:45
pepper avocado over here I try to eat
00:07:47
half an avocado every day because it's
00:07:49
really good for people with PCOS because
00:07:51
it's high in fiber so it helps to
00:07:53
stabilize your blood sugar level it's
00:07:55
high in healthy fats which are good for
00:07:56
your hormones and it's also really good
00:07:58
for your gut microbiome diversity that's
00:08:00
a new thing that I've been focusing on
00:08:02
because after 40 between like 40 and 45
00:08:04
or whenever you hit menopause your gut
00:08:07
microbiome diversity shifts a bit so you
00:08:10
really want to focus on feeding your gut
00:08:12
microbiome and keeping it diverse I'm
00:08:15
preparing for perum menum pause right
00:08:16
now I'm researching that like crazy got
00:08:18
some pickled onions again for the gut
00:08:20
microbiome probiotics and yogurt egg for
00:08:23
protein and honey for antioxidants so I
00:08:26
always try to go for a high protein high
00:08:28
fiber gut micro Pro biome feeding a pre
00:08:31
and probiotic and antioxidant Rich meal
00:08:35
this is my new focused way of eating as
00:08:37
a woman in her mid-30s or I think this
00:08:39
happened after I had Levi my mind shift
00:08:43
really focused to longevity there's no
00:08:45
more counting calories or trying
00:08:47
different diets or running like crazy
00:08:51
like I'm more focused on weightlifting
00:08:53
and Mobility because I want to live as
00:08:55
long as possible for him and be as
00:08:57
mobile and flexible and
00:09:00
have as much energy as possible for him
00:09:03

00:16:03
bit me at the beach it's all over my
00:16:06
back and stomach it's like this itchy
00:16:08
rash good morning I'm just about to
00:16:10
leave for the day but I ended up going
00:16:12
to see a skin doctor finally it was a
00:16:14
bit hard to get in on a weekend but
00:16:16
turns out those bites which are still
00:16:19
there are sandflies I didn't even know
00:16:22
the species existed and it's crazy
00:16:23
because I didn't even see or feel them
00:16:25
when they were attacking me for like
00:16:27
over an hour on the sand
00:16:29
so new fear unlocked I I will never be
00:16:33
able to relax at the beach again I'm
00:16:34
trying to keep my mind busy I'm going to
00:16:36
go shopping I'm going to look at some
00:16:38
pretty things I need to buy a birthday
00:16:39
gift run some errands and just try not
00:16:42
to scratch because it is so itchy it's
00:16:44
so itchy when I'm wearing clothes and
00:16:46
they rub against them so itchy when I
00:16:48
take a shower and the warm water touches
00:16:50
them so itchy at night I have medication
00:16:53
and it's helping a bit but these are
00:16:54
worse than mosquito bites this is the
00:16:56
outfit
00:16:59
let's
00:17:02
go one of the fun things about modeling
00:17:05
and traveling is you make a lot of
00:17:07
friends that live all over the world but
00:17:10
then one of the shitty things about
00:17:13
modeling and traveling is you have
00:17:15
friends that live all over the world and
00:17:16
not with you I have to admit it's been
00:17:18
hard to stay in touch with a lot of them
00:17:21
especially after having Levi but um we
00:17:24
still try our best and uh send packages
00:17:28
every on that especially to the ones
00:17:30
that have kids for their birthday so I'm
00:17:33
doing that now then the rest of my
00:17:35
errands are in my

buffet restaurant and while you eat the
00:19:10
characters come and visit you and since
00:19:12
going to Disneyland last time Levi's
00:19:15

00:19:18
Mickey and Minnie Mouse so we've been
00:19:19
showing him a little bit of shows and
00:19:21
listening to some of the music and the
00:19:22
cars and he's really into them right now
00:19:24
so this time is going to be even better
00:19:28
and um more special because the
00:19:30
characters are going to be really real
00:19:32
and magical to him so I can't wait to

00:22:00
[Music]
00:22:03
Levi started school this week at 2 years
00:22:06
old it's so young here in Hong Kong I
00:22:09
remember starting school in Canada at 4
00:22:11
years old with a junior kindergarten
00:22:13
here they start at pre- Nursery it's a
00:22:15
half day
00:22:16
thing yay let's Chang for school school
00:22:19
school let's get excited school school
00:22:24
school did you like your first day of
00:22:26
school yeah it was good
00:22:30
yeah I like it actually the first week
00:22:33
it's assisted so I get to go with him
00:22:35
it's just one hour and then it'll be two
00:22:38
hours assisted and then it'll be the
00:22:40
full day so the 3 hours un assisted
00:22:43
later so it's a slow
00:22:46
release I used to think he would be way
00:22:48
too young but now that the time has come
00:22:51
I feel like he's ready he's quite
00:22:53
independent he's enjoying it I think
00:22:57
it's just me that's so sad brush your
00:23:03
teeth date night tonight I'm wearing all
00:23:06
dark clothes because white and I are
00:23:09
taking a little break from each other
00:23:11
we're not getting along lately and uh we
00:23:14
are going for some Japanese food we're
00:23:17
actually going for some Odin out of all
00:23:19
the foods in Japan I think I miss Oden
00:23:22
the most because it's pretty hard to
00:23:24
find here what was your biggest takeaway
00:23:27
living in Japan
00:23:29
like what you what do you miss about
00:23:30
Japan the
00:23:32
hair the song yeah whenever I hear
00:23:36
people's YouTube videos like the sounds
00:23:37
of Japan I'm immediately taken back and
00:23:39
I have this nostalgic feeling that I
00:23:42
don't feel for anywhere else it's
00:23:44
weird like Canada I miss the people in
00:23:47
my family but Japan it's like the
00:23:50
essence I miss the
00:23:53
way like they think of Community First
00:23:58
like people will take care of their own
00:23:59
trash although there's not many trash
00:24:00
bins and like remember when we went to
00:24:02
the gym we'd have to bring our our
00:24:05
indoor gym shoes so you have to take off
00:24:08
your outdoor shoes so that your dirt
00:24:09
isn't going all over the machines
00:24:12
perfume people don't wear strong perfume
00:24:14
because when you're in a restaurant it's
00:24:15
going to affect the taste and affect the
00:24:19
the whole feeling of people's dining
00:24:21
experience so when you go to like a
00:24:23
high-end sushi restaurant or Omas some
00:24:25
places actually have signs that say
00:24:27
don't wear perfume
00:24:28
they just consider others really
00:24:31
well and I miss how everyone takes their
00:24:34
job so seriously and really perfects
00:24:36
their craft like everything you see
00:24:39
everything you do everything you eat you
00:24:41
can feel the love and the energy and
00:24:43
work that they put into it to make it
00:24:44
perfect peacefulness calm
00:24:48
everything we got to go back soon we
00:24:50
want to go back as soon as possible but
00:24:52
we feel like right
00:24:53
now Levi won't appreciate it that much
00:24:56
so I don't know we'll just eat in here
00:24:59
for now in their Japanese
