0:00 Welcome back to my channel. I hope you're having an amazing day so far. Hope you're happy, healthy, and glowing. And if you're not, I hope this video makes it more amazing. You know, it brings a smile to your face. Anyways, today is the big day. Today's prom day. Um, I'm super excited. I'm a sophomore and in my school, we do prom starting from sophomore up till 12th grade. And I'm really, really excited. It's going to be my first year. Um, I got my dress picked out. Well, actually, I have two options and they're still getting altered. Couldn't really decide. I'll show you later what my dresses um look like. Yeah, I honestly don't know which one I'm going to choose. Comment down below what color you think will suit me best. Um, sparkly red or Cinderella

0:47 light blue. We'll see the dresses later. Today, I'm doing kind of like a style vlog video. Um, I thought it would be fun to switch it up on my channel. You know, I really like watching these types of videos, and I thought it would be fun to make one for you guys. So, comment down below if you would like more videos like this. So, right now, I'm getting my pedicure done for my dearest and amazing mommy. Honestly, I can't have lawn nails because I am a musician, so I practice violin every day. So, I wouldn't be able to practice if I had lawn nails. I always wondered how it would be with long nails. I feel like it's so uncomfortable. They look so pretty. But I'm still going to have pretty nails even though they're shorter. But I'm excited to get those done. And yeah, my mom's doing my pedicure as I said. And I

1:34 had such a hard time choosing what color to do like to paint because I still haven't decided on the dress. So like I had to choose which color would suit best both dresses like the two dresses. So I was choosing between this one. It's like kind of gold with pink sparkly or the blue. And I was like, I couldn't decide. My mom said gold and silver would work good. But then, okay, I decided to go with the blue. So, that's what we're doing. Um, I think it's just like a classy, perfect look. Elegant. That's what I'm going for. Also, my friend is coming over um later and I'm super excited. We're going to get ready together. Also, I made myself some deep

2:21 bloating peppermint tea, which I'm drinking right now. Before this, I had a ginger lemon tea. Cheers. So, that is how the blue is looking. I am so happy with my decision. It was totally the right way to go. Um, it's like sparkly as well. It's like I don't know if you can see, but it's like perfect. And I think it's going to look really, really good with my dress. I just did a 30 minute violin session and I'm off to my violin lesson. My nails are done on my feet and yeah, I'm having like this cute outfit going on. I'll show you guys. It's like Yeah, this is like all Brandy Melville stuff. Think it's so cute. And these are my nails.

If your feet are blue, maybe you have to choose the blue color or it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I chose a color that will work both with the blue dress and the red dress cuz the blue will work with the red dress, too. See? All right. All right. Yeah, makes sense. Yeah, I had a few options. I wanted to choose a color that would work with both dresses because I couldn't decide yet. Um, and they're a little bit of different style.
