00:00:04
[Music]
00:00:08
so i just rinsed off my face and too
00:00:11
damp skin i'm going to put a little bit
00:00:13
of this zeroing moisturizer yeah i've
00:00:14
been going back and forth between these
00:00:18
two urea creams the eucerin one and the
00:00:20
zero red one i really find that they
00:00:22
provide a nice balance between smoothing
00:00:24
the surface of the skin and also
00:00:25
improving moisture content because of
00:00:28
that urease by applying them to the skin
00:00:30
while it's still damp the humectant
00:00:32
aspect of urea it's hygroscopic it
00:00:34
really helps pull water into the top
00:00:36
layers of the epidermis smoothing
00:00:38
everything out and just improving skin
00:00:40
barrier function and i'm going to put a
00:00:43
little urea on my arms too this is the
00:00:45
cetaphil rough and bumpy now the urea in
00:00:47
this is 20 percent too strong for the
00:00:50
face will burn a sting there but i use
00:00:52
it on my arms to keep the kp and
00:00:54
keratosis pylorus under control i get
00:00:56
that too
00:00:58
i also like using it on my elbows to
00:01:00
rejuvenate them because
00:01:03
they're in neglected territory
00:01:04
all right so my face is dry i'm just
00:01:06
going to put on the uh mineral cream
00:01:09
from md solar science their kids mineral
00:01:11
sunscreen a lot of you guys commented
00:01:12
that you do not care for these
00:01:14
sunscreens they feel
00:01:16
you don't like the consistency of them i
00:01:18
can see how they're not for everyone but
00:01:20
for me personally i just really like
00:01:21
them
00:01:23
and this kid's one for an all mineral
00:01:24
sunscreen
00:01:27
the cast is not
00:01:29
it's not too bad
00:01:32
[Music]
00:01:34
i'm all in pink this morning
00:01:36
now last weekend i commented that i
00:01:40
started reading dopesick and it was a
00:01:42
little slow to start
00:01:44
they went into a lot of detail they were
00:01:45
going into a lot of detail about like
00:01:47
the legal proceedings and i just kind of
00:01:49
found that a little boring but now it's
00:01:52
gotten much better in terms of actually
00:01:55
interviewing some of the people affected
00:01:58
[Music]
00:02:01
i can't believe february is just about
00:02:04
over i'm gonna have to film my favorites
00:02:07
video soon for you guys
00:02:08
speaking of favorites in my last
00:02:10
favorites video or two favorites videos
00:02:12
ago i talked to you guys about how much
00:02:14
i have been loving my mise and knives
00:02:17
today's video is sponsored by mizon so
00:02:19
i'm definitely gonna do some veggie prep
00:02:21
today i'll show you guys
00:02:23
the knife in action i want to like it so
00:02:25
much
00:02:31
[Music]
00:02:36
when you guys gave me this tip for
00:02:37
peeling garlic where you shake it up in
00:02:40
a jar so i tried doing that today it
00:02:42
kind of worked so thank you whoever it
00:02:44
was that shared that with me
00:02:45
it
00:02:47
saved my fingers anyways when it comes
00:02:49
to food prep virtually every chef agrees
00:02:51
that a sharp well-balanced chef's knife
00:02:53
is the essential workhorse for any
00:02:55
kitchen now unlike a cheaper knife a
00:02:57
high quality knife will stay sharper
00:02:58
longer and this allows you to cut
00:03:00
through anything in the kitchen with
00:03:02
ease lasting a lifetime and in general
00:03:04
it makes cooking easier and more fun
00:03:07
it's also a lot safer so while i've
00:03:09
known for quite some time that a good
00:03:11
quality chef's knife is something that's
00:03:12
definitely worth investing in especially
00:03:15
with all the food prep that i do i've
00:03:16
always just kind of put it off because
00:03:20
of the astronomical price that is until
00:03:22
i discovered the misen chef's knife now
00:03:24
you've probably heard the hype around
00:03:26
misens chef knives especially if you
00:03:28
like to cook a lot you'll see a lot of
00:03:30
youtubers talk about them they're
00:03:32
definitely the holy grail of knives i
00:03:34
mean their average customer rating is
00:03:36
4.8 out of 5 stars
00:03:38
but it's half the price of other
00:03:40
high-end knives on the market
00:03:43
it's made with premium aus-10 steel
00:03:44
which offers an even better balance
00:03:47
between lasting sharpness and durability
00:03:50
now most western style knives actually
00:03:53
have an edge angle of 25 degrees the
00:03:56
mise and chef's knife has acute 15
00:03:58
degree angles for a noticeably sharper
00:04:00
cutting face i didn't realize this until
00:04:02
i was doing some more research into
00:04:04
knives but the knife world is split into
00:04:06
two major players german steel known for
00:04:08
its toughness and durability and
00:04:10
japanese steel known for its razor sharp
00:04:12
edge rather than pick a side mizen opted
00:04:14
to cherry pick the best qualities from
00:04:16
each to create the ultimate hybrid
00:04:18
design and mieson's unique slope bolster
00:04:20
pulls double duty the slope shape
00:04:22
encourages a proper pinch grip for
00:04:23
comfort and control while the bolster's
00:04:25
placement creates better access to the
00:04:27
full length of the blade
00:04:29
their knife was hand tested and refined
00:04:31
by professional chefs avid home cooks
00:04:34
product designers and people who've
00:04:36
never even held a knife before
00:04:38
now in addition to their popular chef's
00:04:39
knife they have a bunch of other
00:04:41
different types of knives on their
00:04:43
website like a paring knife a knife for
00:04:46
cutting bread and they also offer
00:04:48
storage solutions i need to get this
00:04:50
magnetic knife stroke now that i'm
00:04:52
looking at it to store mine i've just
00:04:53
been keeping it in the box that it came
00:04:55
in they also have a lot of great cutting
00:04:57
boards
00:04:59
they also have a lot of high quality
00:05:01
cookware at an affordable price
00:05:03
personally i have their non-stick pan
00:05:05
and i love it stuff just slides off of
00:05:08
there without any difficulty it's been a
00:05:11
great addition to my kitchen now i am by
00:05:13
no means a professional chef but i do
00:05:15
cook pretty much every single meal for
00:05:18
myself and having a good quality knife
00:05:20
has made a huge difference in not only
00:05:23
safety but efficiency i find that meal
00:05:25
prep goes a lot faster since getting
00:05:27
this misen knife and i really like how
00:05:29
it stays sharp and the handle is easy to
00:05:32
use and doesn't slip when i'm chopping
00:05:33
vegetables quickly
00:05:35
not only that it's the same quality if
00:05:38
not better than other premium knives but
00:05:40
at half the cost this chef's knife has
00:05:42
truly become the single most important
00:05:44
tool in my kitchen so if you are in the
00:05:46
market for a good quality knife or
00:05:48
cookware definitely check out mizen and
00:05:50
right now they are offering a great deal
00:05:51

00:05:54
box you can get an extra 20 off site

00:06:00
well hey guys i just finished filming a
00:06:04
video for you all on 10 reasons why
00:06:06
retinol fails
00:06:08
so check that out if you guys are using
00:06:10
retinol and getting frustrated whether
00:06:11
it be prescription retinol or
00:06:13
over-the-counter adapting or an
00:06:15
over-the-counter cosmeceutical retinol
00:06:17
definitely check that out
00:06:19
because i do think that it is easy to
00:06:22
get frustrated with using it
00:06:24
but i'm wearing this cardigan from
00:06:27
cooley bar here i've got a blanket on
00:06:28
over my
00:06:31
over my legs let me step back so you can
00:06:34
see it
00:06:38
yeah i have this card again from cooley
00:06:41
bar i get them on amazon and it's
00:06:43
actually the coulee bar store so it
00:06:46
ships like directly from cooley bar if
00:06:47
you buy on amazon or you can buy from
00:06:49
their website what it you know it
00:06:51
doesn't really matter but anyways i have
00:06:53
this one and i have a pink one i just
00:06:55
find they're perfect because they're not
00:06:56
heavy
00:06:58
it's great here where it's always humid
00:07:01
they don't feel like cloying or anything
00:07:04
you don't need a dedicated upf fabric
00:07:06
however like the cooley bar stuff
00:07:09
fabrics that are a tight weave will
00:07:11
block out uv
00:07:13
dark colors actually are better than
00:07:16
lighter colors at blocking out uv and
00:07:18
then of course you have to consider the
00:07:21
material if the material is threadbare
00:07:23
or if it's wet from your sweat it loses
00:07:26
the ability to to protect i also put
00:07:28
these earrings on i haven't worn them in
00:07:31
a while these are from cirelli
00:07:33
i love their jewelry it's kind of i
00:07:34
don't know out there a little bit but
00:07:37
it's fun this little notebook i've been
00:07:38
loving if you were actually sent this to
00:07:41
me a while ago um i believe that it was
00:07:43
purchased at target because i see the
00:07:45
opal how it's the opel house brand
00:07:47
but this is what i keep little notes in
00:07:49
like i jot down what i'm gonna say in in
00:07:51
videos so i don't ramble too much
00:07:52
although
00:07:55
i still ramble a lot of times um but
00:07:57
yeah i really like it i'm gonna have to
00:08:00
look out for more like this but you know
00:08:02
with target
00:08:03
they'll get something cool that you
00:08:06
actually like and then boom they no
00:08:08
longer ever carry it again that is one
00:08:09
thing i complain about all the time when
00:08:12
it comes to target is they take away the
00:08:14
things that i like
00:08:17
[Applause]
00:08:19
[Music]
00:08:37

00:09:07

00:09:12
that but it's still cute
00:09:12
two for 6.99
00:09:19
on the mini frames
00:09:19
this sensory foam does seem like fun i'm
00:09:22
not gonna lie
00:09:24
although does it get all over everything
00:09:27
it seems like it would make a mess
00:09:28
you can stretch it
00:09:33
oh shrinky dinks i love these having a
00:09:35
comeback
00:09:37

00:09:41

00:09:41
[Music]
00:09:44
unicorns
00:09:46
dragons
00:09:47

00:09:50

00:09:53
oh how cute
00:09:57
moon rabbit is sweet
00:10:03
check out this cake mold
00:10:05
i love it because it's basically like
00:10:08
little slices of cake
00:10:10
for each of the petals
00:10:13
that's adorable
00:10:13
wow those eggs are pretty too
00:10:19
little flower cakes
00:10:23
[Music]
00:10:26
this picture is pretty
00:10:32
[Music]
00:10:33
and they have
00:10:38
they have glasses to match
00:10:39
all right so the stuff that i prepared
00:10:43
in the slow cooker i have dipped it up
00:10:45
into these meal prep containers it's
00:10:47
just a veggie base i can put whatever
00:10:49
protein i want on top of it i like to
00:10:50
change that up
00:10:52
from beans to tofu
00:10:55
tempeh what have you anyways um these
00:10:57
meal prep containers i have been loving
00:11:00
i got them on amazon a while ago and i
00:11:02
was a little apprehensive because you
00:11:04
know sometimes amazon it can be a mess
00:11:06
especially with lids and stuff but so
00:11:09
far so good their glass and then the lid
00:11:11
is plastic and it anchors them in place
00:11:14
speaking of amazon kitchen purchases
00:11:18
this i originally saw on jen chapin one
00:11:19
of jen chapin's videos
00:11:23
it is a lid rest slash spoon rack and
00:11:25
it's amazing i need to clean it because
00:11:27
as you can see look at all of that
00:11:29
condensation that was on the lid and it
00:11:31
just drains in there instead of going
00:11:33
all over the place and splattering with
00:11:34
your
00:11:36
slow cooker
00:11:38
hey guys i just got out of the shower
00:11:42
but i opted to not wash my hair tonight
00:11:45
uh so i'm wearing my shh
00:11:48
shower cap as it's called love it
00:11:49
anyways what was i going to tell you
00:11:52
guys
00:11:53
i had fun in my head i was going to
00:11:56
share with you guys oh i know this
00:11:57
morning i was chit-chatting with you
00:11:59
guys about urea recently i did a video
00:12:04
on urea products for the face and this
00:12:07
product was one that i reviewed in that
00:12:08
video
00:12:11
because i saw one of you guys purchase
00:12:15
it on amazon i recognize your um
00:12:18
picture there we go and your name one of
00:12:19
you guys purchased it on amazon gave it
00:12:21
a good review so i decided to order it
00:12:24
and try it out and i just want to show
00:12:25
you guys i've just done my skincare
00:12:27
routine i got my tretinoin on
00:12:31
and the nice thing about urea is that
00:12:33
it's not really irritating it can sting
00:12:34
but it's not
00:12:36
it doesn't
00:12:38
get in the way of other active
00:12:39
ingredients or anything i mean it's
00:12:41
naturally present on your skin right but
00:12:43
i just want to show you guys kind of the
00:12:45
consistency of this particular product
00:12:47
it's very i think it's a glycerin
00:12:49
content in this
00:12:51
do i kind of look like
00:12:53
an artiste anyways i think it's the
00:12:56
glycerin content in this that makes it
00:12:58
a little sticky tacky for
00:13:01
the liking of some people but another
00:13:04
benefit of using urea in your skincare
00:13:05
is for those of you guys who are really
00:13:08
bummed out by sebaceous filaments we're
00:13:09
sure like
00:13:12
nothing to worry about they're just
00:13:14
like they come out of the
00:13:17
pylonstomations unit the boar
00:13:20
because it's just kind of like as the
00:13:23
sebum the oil and the dead skin cells
00:13:24
are just kind of coming to the surface
00:13:27
it's really just a strand of like just
00:13:29
kind of skin cell material that's kind
00:13:32
of sticking up it's not really even
00:13:34
that it's not even necessarily part of
00:13:35
acne or anything but a lot of people are
00:13:37
bothered by the way they look like i get
00:13:39
on when i when i get out of the shower i
00:13:40
really notice them because when you're
00:13:42
when you're after you get out of the
00:13:45
shower the stratum corneum the the
00:13:47
stratum cornea on the top of the skin is
00:13:48
super hydrated
00:13:50
so
00:13:52
this that stuff swells up and the
00:13:54
sebaceous filaments are like oh rip
00:13:56
roaring so i really notice them when i
00:13:57
get out of the shower but then as soon
00:13:59
as i put moisturizer on that's it i
00:14:01
don't really see them but all that to
00:14:04
say urea will help kind of control that
00:14:06
a little bit if you have them there and
00:14:07
they're more noticeable
00:14:10
like throughout the day because urea
00:14:13
softens some of that stuff and it helps
00:14:14
with moisture content in the skin so
00:14:17
it'll just kind of plump up the pore the
00:14:19
surrounding skin around the pore
00:14:21
kind of helps minimize the
00:14:24
appearance of that
00:14:27
for the most part i shampoo my hair
00:14:31
every night it's just a habit
00:14:35
but tomorrow i am waking up even earlier
00:14:37
than i normally do
00:14:39
and i don't want to have to feel like
00:14:41
messing around with my hair too much so
00:14:44
i think it'll be easier on me
00:14:47
[Music]
00:14:49
if i don't
00:14:57
i was chatting with you guys too this
00:15:01
morning about the uh dopestick book and
00:15:03
i was reading more of your comments
00:15:05
throughout the day about you guys really
00:15:08
seem to like the show so i need to get
00:15:08
my
00:15:10
eyes on that
00:15:13
i need to watch it the storyline if i
00:15:14
didn't already say this this morning i
00:15:16
can't remember already it's picked up a
00:15:19
bit but i saw a comment from one of you
00:15:21
guys saying that the book is just not
00:15:23
anywhere near as good as the show which
00:15:25
happens from time to time you know that
00:15:27
statement the book is never is always
00:15:29
better than the show or the movie it's
00:15:31
not always true
00:15:33
i've started watching though on amazon
00:15:37
prime the lorena vomit vomit lorena
00:15:41
bobbitt docu series primarily because
00:15:43
yes the story or whatever was very
00:15:45
shocking at least at the time and like
00:15:47
eye-opening but i felt like we never
00:15:49
really got closure and watching this
00:15:52
documentary it's it's interesting

this was like pre-social media internet
00:15:56
i think i don't know if the internet
00:15:59
existed at that point but
00:16:00
i remember when the lorena bobbitt thing
00:16:02
came around
00:16:04
i just felt like everybody was so
00:16:05
focused
00:16:08
on how
00:16:11
shocking what she did was
00:16:13
but we didn't really get much closure or
00:16:16
much as far as like her story his story
00:16:19
like i can't remember any of that and
00:16:20
looking at the news footage that they're
00:16:22
showing in the documentary
00:16:24
it seems as though the way it was
00:16:25
covered i don't know it's just very
00:16:27
different than how
00:16:29
it would be covered today
00:16:30
and
00:16:32
like i don't know people are less
00:16:35
shocked by speaking about genitalia i
00:16:38
would just i don't know maybe not but
00:16:40
i mean yeah so i've only watched the
00:16:41
first
00:16:43
uh episode of it i think it's like a
00:16:45
four-part thing so i don't know if
00:16:47

00:16:49
story in the second one
