So I am doing this fast. There's Lady girl. For $11,694.73. Can you move? I can't. Okay, I want you guys to see my office because we worked really hard on it. Hey guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to, or welcome back to, my YouTube channel. You guys are spending the day with me and Lady. Actually, I have my dog in the car with me. Yesterday we picked up Arabella, me and Tank, and today it's gonna be me and Katie because sometimes I feel like it's kind of sad that my dogs are locked in a house all day. They don't like get to go anywhere, so she's with me today. She has really bad anxiety and she has to be medicated, so she took her medication today and she is just chilling on the floor with me. But we are spending the day together. Today has kind of changed, so I already dropped off Arabella at school. I'm running to my brokerage because I have to pick up a check, and then I gotta go to the bank to deposit the check. So you're spending the day with me because I have nothing else to do. I was supposed to go to my mom's house, her, um, her other house, to meet someone to fix a sprinkler head. So he, I guess, couldn't come today. Told me he could, and then 30 minutes later he said he couldn't, which is fine. So we're scratching that off the list. I'm actually doing a fast today. I've never done really a fast. I just feel really bloated ever since we came home from Italy. I literally I literally feel just like gross and bloated. So I am doing this fast, and you can either do it with chicken stock or chicken— no, chicken broth or bone broth. I'm doing it with chicken stock because that's literally all I had. And you drink like 7 cups of it like throughout the day, and then you drink water with it too. It's supposed to debloat your whole entire system and just clean you out. Um, and I really, really need that. My ears have been super, super bad ever since coming home from Italy. And I've been so bloated I feel like I look pregnant. So we're trying this out for a couple days to see how it is. So I just finished my first cup of chicken broth and now I'm drinking my water. I'm supposed to have, I think, like 6, 6 cups of chicken broth. That's what ChatGPT said. So let's see how this goes. I'm also going to be chewing gum because I like to chew something every now again, now and again. So yeah, we're heading to my brokerage now. I'm like 5 minutes away. Dropped Arabella off for the day. I already called my mom. Today's like an easy day. My whole week has been really easy. I filmed a couple videos yesterday, um, at an inventory house. I have a full schedule tomorrow, but we're doing good. Anyways, let's go to my brokerage. Thanks, lady girl. She is pretty scared right now. I'm opening this up because I'm literally going to be like 5 seconds in there, but she's more tired because her medicine is kicking in. The brokerage just got my check. It's for $11,694.73. Not bad, not bad. So let's go to the bank now, deposit this, and then let's go bring Lady to get a new toy at the pet store because she's a good girl and she deserves it. And the nice thing is everything is in the same complex— my brokerage, my bank, and the pet store. So super happy. Just now leaving the bank. That was so easy, and I love all my bank girls. They're like so kind and so nice. So now me and Lady are gonna go and get either a new ball or a new baby or whatever she wants because she's such a good girl. This is a day in the life when I'm not busy. I find stuff to do because I don't like sitting at home. Like yesterday I was sitting at home. I should probably put my seatbelt on. I'm literally in the same plaza. I was sitting at home, but it was because I had like a lot of work stuff, admin stuff I needed to catch up on. And this is so annoying, let me just pull over. I had like a lot of admin stuff I had to do, so I did that and then I'm starting to get hungry. We're currently redoing my office and adding a lot more stuff. So Sam built me— I bought this like, looks like an entertainment system, but it's not. It's just so I can stay like organized. We're at, um, Petco. It's for me to stay organized, but we built that and that's been really nice. Let me get her out of the car and I'll see you guys in there. She hates cars. He's cute. Those are really cute. No, we're not getting a crate today. Come on, let's go find a baby. Maybe a ball. Where are your balls? You want to see if they have any? They might go down here. I see one, Lady! Do you see any? Those are cute. You do need a new collar. Hmm. I think he's doing it like this. That's cool. I think you'd like this, Lady. Lady, you want to get this one? Fun. Oh, you like that one? Hey, we can get that one. You want to get that one? He's cute. Got some stuff. Let me show you guys. So the lady picked out this toy. That's your new toy. Let me try and cut it. Okay, then we got treats. We like a good treat. And then she wanted this as we were checking out, and I couldn't say no. Do you want this now? A lot of people ask me if I thought the training has helped, like the one that we did a couple months ago with— I want to say Petco. Was it Petco? It's either Petco or PetSmart. Other than her knowing when to, like, if I say come, she'll come, and then sit— she knows how to sit. Other than that, no, it did not help. She's still very anxious. I think the most that we've gotten help with was the medication. She has extremely high anxiety from whatever happened before us. Yeah, she suffers really bad from it, and I feel like the more I bring her out and to places— that guy just hit that sign. That's really funny. The more I bring her out, I'm hoping the more like normal she'll get. I know she'll never be like 100%, but like right now she's on her strong medication, and then she's also on like her medication for if it's like storming out. And when I'm going out with her, I'm supposed to give her both of those. So that's what she's on now. She did pretty good in there. I'm really happy. And I think each day is just gonna be play-by-play because I suffer from really bad anxiety and I get it. Not as bad as her, but I get it. And I'm hoping that the more she's with me and the more fun she can see the outworld— outside world is, the less she's anxious. So she's doing really good. And right now I think we're gonna go home. I'd love to get a car wash. I think I might get a car wash. Uh, I don't want to do that to her. I don't want to freak her out. So yeah, we're gonna go home and I'm gonna let her chill, and I'm gonna have another cup of my bone broth, chicken broth, bone broth, whatever you want to call it. My sister got— we have a Crumble cookie right there. My sister got Crumble last night and she said she got the minis, and they have the lava, chocolate lava one, and I love that one. That's my favorite one. But I tried this new place on Uber Eats. It's like an actual restaurant, but I've never been there, and I was just craving some kind of food that I didn't have at home. Do you guys ever get like that? Like, you just want someone else to cook for you, and you want it to be good. My mom went home on Monday, so I couldn't ask her to cook for me, but I got Uber Eats, and I got it from So Napa. S-O-N-A-P-A. Guys, it was so good. I got the bread with the trio butter, so good. And then I also got chicken marsala with risotto, but I didn't eat the risotto because I just didn't like it. And then I got a side of mashed potatoes and they were so good. So that was like my last unhealthy kind of meal before I did this fast. So we'll see how this fast goes. I'm already hungry and it's only 9:46. So I'm not hungry, I shouldn't say that. I'm not hungry, I just want to like have coffee. I want my coffee that I normally get and I also want a good avocado um, what is that called? Avocado bread toast. Bread toast. All right, Lady is currently sleeping. I'm just now getting off my exit, so since she's sleeping, I am getting a car wash. My car does smell kind of like a dog, so fine. I just need my car clean really bad, but she's sleeping. I'm gonna get a car wash. Tank was in here yesterday, like I said, and we went to go to pick up Arabella, and I went inside. I left my car on, and this car is pretty sensitive, I would say, in terms of like safety. Like, my car is beeping because there's a semi truck next to it, but I'm glad that it's so sensitive, obviously, because of Arabella and me. But my car is super, super sensitive, so I left my car running because that's what I used to do in my Buick, and I went inside because obviously Tank needs air, and I even rolled down the windows. Actually, no, I left my sunroof open. I did not roll down my windows because obviously there was air, and I was literally gone for maybe 5 minutes. I parked in the front, okay? I parked in the front spot, so don't, don't say like I'm a horrible person for leaving my dog in the car because she had— he had air. But, um, I went inside and my alarm stopped. My alarm literally starts going off and there's Tank in the front seat smiling, enjoying life, saying hi to literally everyone. So he set my car alarm off and I don't know if it's because of the movement in my car, like that it was on and it was in park and and stuff like that. But so note to self, don't leave my car on when the dog is in the car. But I just want my car clean. I go to the car wash probably like 4 to 5 times a week. It's really close to my house. Something just hit me. And, um, I pay for a membership. Me and Sam both do. So it's just super, super convenient getting your car washed. Oh man, okay, let me just turn around cuz I really don't want this kid talking to me. Yeah, go sit back down. Um, um, can you move? I can't— you're going to back up. What an idiot. Car wash is closed. I don't know what happened. That was a bust. Well, we are officially back home. The dogs have been playing outside. Lady's been loving her toy. Oh, now she has her bone. How's your bone? Is it good? Is that a good bone? I just heated up some of my chicken broth and I put it in this cup. So this is my second chicken broth of the day— cup of chicken broth for the day. And I think I can have like 4 to 6. So it's currently 10:49. Okay, I want you guys to see my office because we worked really hard on it. Okay, so So this is in our fourth bedroom. Yeah, third bedroom. I don't even know upstairs, but this is what it looks like and it's not finished. So keep in mind, I still love that. So we'll start over here. So I have my vision board obviously, and then a picture that Arabella did for me. And a lot of these have come true, which I love doing this each year. Then we have this chest thing. I actually got it because it's holding a lot of my wedding stuff. Um, and then Dior bag box. I don't know where I'm gonna put that. I had it up here like that, but I feel like it kind of looks stupid. I don't know, let me know what you guys think. We have my window, we have my tripod, and then this whole entire like Built-in is actually from Amazon. I saw it on Wayfair and it's gonna take too long to get, so I got it on Amazon. I'm really happy because it's really good quality too. I like the hardware on it. So I just got myself a printer. I've never had a printer before. I had one obviously when I was little, and I used to use the one at the office, so I'm like, I need one for my office. I have a picture of me and my dad. I have these really good little mints from Hotel Gran Turquesa and they're so good. My G7X camera. Picture of me and Sam getting the house. A couple books, the Bible, my notes. A camera my mom got me. And then me and Sam and then I have some work stuff. I'm gonna do two huge photos. I'm going to insert the photo here, what my vision is for back here. So I need to order those too. And then I haven't really put anything in here yet. I don't know how to even organize this, but I have my files right there that I use almost every day, my computer that's gonna move, and then some empty ones. And then down here I have like all my electronics stuff. And then I have paper for my printer, my thank you notes, my drone, my drone charger— that's not supposed to be there— but a picture of me and the girls, my open house sign-in thing, but it broke, so I'm gonna need to get a new frame. My wedding shoes because they're iconic. And then a picture of Arabella. And then my desk, obviously. I don't know where anything's from. I know Sam got me this for Christmas. And then I think I want to say I got this off a TikTok— no, I think I got it off of Shein. I don't really know, but that's my office. It's coming together perfectly. Okay, so now that I just got my check that you guys saw, I am going to now do transfers from all of my— all my accounts. So when I get a check I typically put it in my business. It goes straight to my business account, and from my business account, I have another account under business that is just my taxes. So I have to take this check and put about 25 to 30% of this check into my tax account. I pay myself also through my business account, so I'll put some towards like fun money, I call it. And then, which is a personal account, and then I have another account that's all like my bills. So I'll put probably like 20% or maybe probably 40% into that account, and then I put normally $1,000 to $2,000 away in my savings. So it's a lot, but it makes sense, I swear. Okay, so normally when I split all into my Difference account, I actually put my pay stub into ChatGPT, and from ChatGPT GPT, I have it break down into how much the exact amount when I transfer. So my tax account today is getting $2,923.68, my bills account is getting $5,000, my savings is getting $2,500, and then my fund account is getting $1,271.05. But I also need to figure out what I owe on my my credit cards. So I completely paid off all my credit cards in the beginning of the month, but also I started charging everything back to my accounts. So I need to figure out what has what balance and go from there. My goal for the year was to be debt-free. I just bought a car, so I'm trying to pay the car off, uh, I'm trying to pay the car off before October. Um, but right now I have one more closing and then I need to rebuild my pipeline. So I'm rebuilding my pipeline now, um, so I can have more closings. But we're doing really, really good for the year, so I'm really happy. And yeah, let me start transferring everything and we'll go from there. Now I'm gonna have ChatGPT help me on figuring out my social media. So I get a lot of my clients through social media, specifically my YouTube channel. I don't think I've gotten anyone— I've gotten, I think, one other person on TikTok, but I have not gotten anyone on— off of my Instagram. So I'm trying to step up my Instagram game and see how to make it aesthetically pleasing and also informative. So we are gonna go to chat and see what she says. I trust ChatGPT with my life, and she's probably bad for the environment, sure, but you know what, so are humans. So I take it with a grain of salt because I love my ChatGPT more than anything. I talk to my ChatGPT probably just as much as I talk my mom, if not more. So peace, love, chat. Okay, so I just asked ChatGPT on how I should post all my photos, what order, blah blah blah, and it came— it gave me literally a detailed of my content and what I should do and how I should do it. Genius, obviously. Um, but this is a great idea. This is what I'm gonna probably start doing, and then from there, yeah, just do that because this is genius. Time to do admin work. It's 12 o'clock and I'm hungry, so I'm getting a cookie. I don't care about the fast, I'm starving. They're just so good. I'd rather be fat and happy. Hi guys, I'm just now home. I got back from girl— What are you eating? Cookie. Let me see. Cookie, cookie, cookie, cookie, cookie. Okay, it's the next day. Oh my goodness, it's so loud. Um, but I am meeting Grace from Miranda Homes at one of their inventory homes, actually two of their inventory homes. We're gonna go shoot some content for, I think, Instagram. So I think I already did this house on my YouTube channel. I'm almost positive I did. Um, so I don't think I'm shooting content for Instagram. I think this is so— I mean, for YouTube. I think this is solely for, um, Instagram. So come along. I already got my little dunks and I already got a car wash today. I am wearing a wig today because I did not have it in me to do my hair. I recently just took my hair extensions out, but only the top row. Um, it was wedding hair and I just just like could not do it. It was too heavy. So if this— so if you're my hairstylist watching this, surprise, I took out my hair extensions. But let's go now to the location, and I will see you guys soon. Okay, so I just— is this crooked? I feel like it is. I just got off the phone with a new client. I love, love new client phone calls because I get to know them, what their timeline is, what they're thinking about. And this one is actually a referral. So a couple that I helped buy a house, I want to say in the beginning of the year, could have been— yeah, beginning of the year. Um, they referred me to a buyer who is selling his house down in South Florida, which is crazy because that's where I'm from, and, um, he wants to move to Palm Coast. So I just got off the phone with him, and after this content shooting day, I'm gonna show him— I'm gonna send him some homes to take a look at. But I'm truly, truly, truly so blessed and so thankful that my past clients are referring me to new people, because that is just— it makes me feel like I actually did a good job. So yeah, I'm really, really excited excited, and hopefully he likes Palm Coast and will buy and I can help him. So yeah, anyways, we're pulling up to the home now. Let's shoot some content. But it's like, okay, I'm just now leaving my first appointment. Now I'm gonna go to Colbert Landing and shoot some video over there, and then we are done for the day. Anyways guys, we are finishing the video off here. Sam just ordered us dinner. I made pasta for Arabella and— Dots! Arabella's eating dots with her iPad. Yummy yummy. Anyways guys, thank you guys so much for watching and we'll see you guys in our next video. Bye bye!
