Okay. Wow. Okay. Maybe film someone else. Um, you're going to wash your face in a second anyway. Yeah, I'm gonna wash my face in a second. Just don't I got to charge myself. I still have castor oil all over my face. Let's give them an update. Um, we're going to be honest. We thought we were going to record a lot on this trip, but we've just been we've just been living, you know, and it's been kind of busy. We were in San Diego. So, we're in San Diego on Sunday. It is now Thursday. Thursday, San Diego on Sunday, left San Diego on Monday, came to LA, met a friend, went to bed, had a full free day, decided to bike to Venice Beach. That was chaotic.
[Laughter]
I'm crying even. It was foggy so I couldn't even see the water, but it was still worth it. Insert picture here. Also, we walked through the marina by our place. We're staying in Marina now, right? The marina is really beautiful. We watched the sunset last night. We did, but that was after we filmed with Josie. Josie Santi, who was amazing. We had so much fun talking to her. She was like, it was a party, honestly. Oh, yeah. We ate donut holes from Trader Joe's after. It was wonderful. Wonderful. Such a vibe. After that, we cleaned up, went to dinner, had some Shake Shack, Maddie had a little sandwich, and then we watched the sunset, and it was really nice. And then today, we have to check out of our Airbnb in about an hour cuz then we have to go to film with Fienna. She owns the Main Street Flower Truck and we're so excited. We've been literally looking forward to this, I think, the whole trip because we get to film on a flower truck. By the way, my knees are in my sweater, so that's why I look really weird. But we're going to do that today and we're going to take you with us. And then we have a flight to San Francisco this evening. I don't know. I feel like everything up until now, it's been really hard to bring a camera around. Also, in San Diego, we were staying at a friend's house, so we didn't want to like, you know, film her house. It's also just very like quality time with your friend where you don't want your phone. I don't think I even went on my phone. No, I think I left my phone in my room. We literally Yeah, I even had Which was also really nice. It was. But I left my phone in the room during a San Diego sunset and I was like, "Wow." Mhm. I had mine, so I took pictures. So, yeah. We'll take you guys with us the next few days until we come home on a red eyee. Fun. Which you won't see because I will be passed out probably in their lap. Woo. Okay, we got to go clean up now and pack. Okay, one suit. So, one carry-on is filled with tripods, equipment, lights. So, we had to share two suitcases. So A and I shared this one. We each had a half. Maddie had a half in here. And then we have a half that's called the communal where we all share. Now three girls sharing three carryons is not for the park. When you're gone for 6 days and you want outfit options, but you know what? This one's doing good. Maddiey's wearing her super big jean dress, so she actually has space. This is the one that we're worried about. She's a big girl. She's stuffed here. She's stuck here. We're concerned. But you know what? We're going to do the Hannah Montana. So, I really think this is going to Okay. Is actually working really well. Try not to face. Did you say that on camera? Yes. Yeah. Oh my god. Did it work? Oh my god.
Guys killed it. Yay. Okay, this is not how I'm going to wear my hair, but I got to twist it in the thing or else my hair gets like huge and it's like humid. There's a humidity a humidifier or something in your bag. We are leaving in T minus. You pack your backpack. What time is it? Yeah, but what time is it? have your backpack so we can get It's 9:38. So, we got to go downstairs in 10 minutes. I have to clean up and then Oh god. Okay, bathroom's pretty clean. Oh my god. I got to clean this. This needs to be done. But look, everything else is cute and clean. Little balcony. We [Applause] um Is this the cutest thing ever? I think so. Grow up. I'm coming soon. Bring
Okay.
Yeah. Really bad. Probably. Yeah. Um, we just Oh, okay. We Whatever. We We filmed. It was lovely. Try to do that thing. I found out trying to do that right now, but I'm actually just cold. That's okay. Took us a while to get back to Marina del Rey, which it's near the airport. This is the area we've been staying in. So, we got a coffee because we were dead. L and I did, not Maddie. She's sensitive to caffeine. Lol. I don't know why I said that out loud. Um, that was unnecessary. Ignore how ugly we look. We're about to go to the airport. So, we put on our ugly outfits. I got a really good coffee at Alfred's. Does this look better? I got a pesto lemon salad. Wasn't pesto, it was basil. Basil lemon pasta salad from Trader Joe's. And it was iconic. Yeah. So, we're going to head to the airport soon to go to San Francisco. So, yeah. There you go. Yep. That's my life. Yep. That's my life. A video of our feet because she's wearing cute sneakers. But my sneakers are not that cute. Well, I think they're cute, but they're just not like special. Like you have little special sneakers on and oh I forgot to tell you I got chocolate at Trader Joe's. Can I try some? You want? No, I'm not. It's a wafer chocolate that I wanted to try. I saw it at the checkout and they they they got me. Um it's in the bag here. [Music]
Good morning in San Francisco. Um, we literally got here last night and then just showered and crashed. Well, we did we did back up some footage from yesterday, but then we crashed. And we are in full [ __ ] glam. In full [ __ ] glam. But we have two interviews today on opposite sides of the city. We one in Mill Valley and then one in San Monteo, which we're very excited for. But that's why we're in full glam right now because we don't have time. We're going to go have breakfast and then we got to grab lunch and then check out at 12:00 and then on in the Uber on the way to Mil Valley, we're going to have we're going to eat our lunch if that made any sense. And you'll see we're going to have dinner probably at 8:00 p.m. when we get to the airport. Food options at the airport look good in the like American section, but we'll be in the international section, so I hope they'll be as good. But fingers crossed. Oh, wait. I'm looking at some pizza. Looking for some good food. Anyway, this is I got to put this here again. Going to go get some brekie. Actually, we've been packing our brekie. We've just been packing oatmeal packets. So, we're going to go get some hot water from a cafe. On a budget here. Balling on a budget. I would highly recommend these for anyone who's trying to ball on a budget. footwheel. They're delicious. Also, we were at the airport last night at the the LAX airport and there was this screeching noise cuz an alarm went off from one of I don't know like they opened a gate door or something and it was it lasted like 20 minutes. And we'll put some videos in here.
[Music] Oh my god, she's so annoying. We were on Facetime with our mom and she was like, "Okay." Like, "No, I'm FaceTime you when this is done." It was terrible. Oh, also like, "Mom, do you want us to call you back when this is done?" And she was like, "Yeah, bye." She was like, "Bye." We're also layered up because it's supposed to be cold here. So, we're just wearing every long sleeve we have. I'm starving. So, we're going to go starved and we're going to bring Look how fun. Vanished. I'm running on no fuel. I'm running on a cliff bar. Not
sponsored. So, where we're staying, there's no elevation. Like, there's just it's just really flat. And I thought we'd be staying somewhere where like in Princess Dy, you know, where it's like just super steep hills.
[Music] the conversation we were having. Yeah, we were talking about funny um we all have funny facial expressions, especially when we're like talking to guests. Yeah, I think really over
here. The drive here was stunning. We went from Union Square across the Golden Gate Bridge and now we're in Strawberry or Mil Valley area. Out this little space to film, but right now we're just like literally chowing down to the bowls that we bought this morning. Yeah, we'll put some clips in from the drive. That is so gorgeous. That's really pretty.
[Music]
But yeah, we're here and we're filming with our lovely guest, Brit Baker. But for now, we eat ravenously. That was so good. Oh my god. Delicious. Jaw is dropped. We got that from. Where did we get that from? Cafe um cafe central. God, that was good. We had a Chipotle bowl and Mediterranean bowl and I'm flabbergasted. Let me show you a room. We're behind the bookshelf. Insert video here of a bookshelf.
That's so cool.
We're going to go set up. I have a question. We're 30 minutes in. I have my first question. You guys have been like literally I go off the keywords. You know that. Yeah. What did you say? Did you Did you If you
Awesome. And I'd be like, how long did it take you? Took you a whole decade. Then I go, walk me through how you found it. Why you found it? And were you single?
Well, because I'm asking because No, like put the camera. I'm asking the hard-hitting questions. Asking for our audience. Mhm. No, it's good. And for me, it' be funny like like cuz right now it feels like we're doing this for no reason. Like it's like what are we here for? I'm like, "Okay, maybe around San Francisco." I was likeing around California, like spending all this money or what? And then I was like, "Oh, no. We're going to be posting this." Scary. You know what? At the very least, it'll be a video diary. I don't know how we got here. When Manny first proposed this idea, she was like, "Guys, let's do this together." And I was like, "Why do we need to be there? We're just little waffy taffies. We don't have anything to do. This is why we're here. But for the tripods and
but you know I don't know. But something we were talking about too is like during the interview you don't really have any idea if it's good or not. And then on reflection is always good. The guest is always good. When we say good or not right question when we say good or not we're talking about ourselves. But yeah, we're just um cleaning up after filming with Brit Baker of Downs. And look at how cool this little place is. Like what? I don't even have the what would you say it was? Like what are the words to describe this? How would you what to describe this girl who love me and disrespectful? I feel like the walls are really thin. By the way, this isn't like weird. Like I'm putting it in a stock so it doesn't scratch. Okay, that's what my dad told me to do. So, I wasn't I desperately need a coffee and have like we're at a wei work. I'm going to get a kombucha which is like so fun. Yeah. Off to film with Dr. Gabby back home. We did not vlog the rest of San Francisco because it was a absolute whirlwind. After our interview with Gabby, um, we had to head run to the airport and she had to run somewhere. So, it was literally peak chaos. I was eating, scarfing down the rest of the salad we had ordered. Insert video.
And we had the flight and it was like an overnight flight, so we're all just sleeping. Insert pictures.
with my sleeping mask. Um, it's actually really good. By the way, we had a baby in front of us and I had a moment where I was like, "Uh-oh, this is going to be bad." Cuz we had an overnight flight to Europe last year and there's this little toddler who kept screaming about chocolate milk for the entire flight. Like just as I would start to doze, I'd hear chocolate milk. But we did not have that and the baby was actually really good. We arrived home Toronto time 7 a.m. Um and then we all just took a nap, visited my grandma. Um and now today is actually my birthday. I'm 26 today. Jet legs. Um today and um yeah, our Cali trip was amazing and wonderful and I honestly was very satisfied with the adventure. I love traveling so I could just continue traveling forever. I just feel like there's so many other places I want to visit like the OC. Um, we'd love to visit uh San Francisco and San Diego with our parents next time. So, and guess what? It's this brat's birthday tomorrow. That's right. We're both Aries. It's an Aries. Anyway, thank you so much for coming along. We're here. I know. Um Oh, I'm like after wearing so much makeup for all those interviews, I was like, I need nothing. Yeah, we're like we're going to do nothing. We're doing bare minimum. And I'm going we're going to Healthy Planet today to get myself some healthy snacks for my birthday. She's going to go cashing it. Sushi, banana bread, brownies, coconut water, maybe get some supplements. Wow, that's Maddy's birthday. That's her birthday. Grassfed. Believe it or not, that's her dream. Can you hear the excitement in her voice? Oh my god. All she needs is healthy food and cuddles. Anyhoo, thanks for tuning in. See you possibly in New York. Yeah, if we remember to vlog. Yes. Bye.
