a normal weekend in my life in Stockholm :) – YouTube Dictation Transcript & Vocabulary

1.i also just have such a lovehate relationship with beauty and getting ready because on one hand I think it's kind of relaxing and fun i enjoy trying different products getting ready seeing the transformation on the other hand I feel like there is so much pressure on looking pretty and put together all the time one thing that horrifies me is whenever there is a photo or a video of a public figure or a celebrity online somewhere the comments are always always always focused on the looks this person's skin looks this way they aged poorly i feel like as a society we're just so focused on looks all the time and it's honestly terrifying sometimes I just wish looks were not even a thing can you imagine if we lived in a world where we didn't even know what pretty or ugly was like it wasn't even a thing just existed without ever thinking about or understanding the concept of looks is there a book on that or something i would love to read it yeah now what if you could flip a switch in your brain and never see beauty again and Ted Chang liking what you see a documentary which is part of his book Stories of Your Life and Others that is exactly what happens there is a brain procedure called Cellnosia which stops you from perceiving physical beauty by basically blocking your emotional anesthetic response to it in human faces and at one college there is a serious debate should they make it mandatory for all students those in favor of Cellosia argued it was a way to eliminate superficial bias and promote social equality by making beauty irrelevant those against it believed it suppressed a fundamental human experience arguing that removing our ability to perceive beauty also meant losing something deeply emotional and meaningful what do you think personally I don't think I would want to remove it completely but maybe if we could instead have a world where we put less emphasis on it like physical beauty would still matter just not as much cuz I don't know what to wear i wish I had something pale yellow i don't Let's try this i don't know i don't feel like I'm loving this okay i feel so much better wearing something navy than white i think I'm just going to wear this one i also just got these super cute sandals from Mezone Mangala they're slightly too small but I love them and they're leather so they're going to stretch i'm just trying to convince myself to keep them cuz they're also really comfortable look at how cute they are if you hate feet don't look so is this too small it is my normal size but is that too small looking to you [Music] i did something so out of character yesterday so I was looking at some photos of my toes that sounds weird but photos from my recent trip to Spain where I was wearing a lot of open toe sandals and I felt like my toenails looked so boring and the thought hit me up why don't I try some nail polish on my toes haven't done that in 10 plus years and then I was like no I don't know that's not for me i never wear nail polish not on my toes not on my hands but also I don't like being locked in on an opinion or a thought i love to challenge that and just do something different once in a while and so yesterday I went to the store and I went to the nail polish aisle grabbed the red color and I was feeling all jittery i went back home i sat on my couch and I started painting my toenails and I felt a rush like an adrenaline just felt so different it felt like I was doing something almost forbidden like something I was not supposed to do i actually felt like it was bringing my toes to life and so since yesterday I've just been so excited i've been looking at my toes i've been sending toe photos to my sister being my glow so yeah all that to say that I officially have red toenails i'm loving it another thing I discovered recently that I've been so against is having a dark paint in your bedroom on the walls i've always in every apartment I lived in had white walls cuz it's felt timeless i felt like I'm not going to get tired of it it's like a safe bet however in this apartment now I have dark paint on my walls and I'm actually loving it and now I'm thinking about all those years that I was missing out on having dark paint on my walls cuz I was so scared to try something i guess the lesson here if there has to be a lesson is to not be so sure about what you think you're sure of m so good how hard is it i usually don't wrap gifts i'm just not very patient okay now I'm wondering why this is not coming off what why is it so hard or am I doing it wrong i don't know testing my patience okay what if we just cut it okay I feel like there's no way this is supposed to be designed like this i'm clearly doing something wrong clearly there's just no way carefully pull the stripe right down oh this side okay [Music] and because I'm just not very skilled at gift wrapping I thought why don't I just buy a gift bag instead of wrapping it but then I thought this is for the kids and I know that kids love opening gifts that are wrapped oh okay i already messed up this is so bad this looks like no why is it so ugly this reminds me of the cake that Agar got Harry on his 11th birthday [Music] nice so I actually changed my outfit i don't know i wasn't feeling very comfortable for some reason and I always change my outfits like at least two or three times before I actually leave the house like I'll think I'm sure of my outfit and I'll wear it and I'll get ready and then right before I'm about to walk out I'm like no so I'm wearing this instead did I make the right choice i mean I'm going to a kid's birthday party so Yast [Music] beast live i have a wedding that I'm going to be attending a friend's wedding and I'm so excited for her and her husband to be but I'm also feeling anxious because ever since I got the hearing problems in October I've just been avoiding loud environments a lot and I go out I go to restaurants and whatnot but not nearly as much as I used to before my hearing problems i've tried to prepare myself as best as I can i bought a few different hearing aids i just feel anxious i'm just worried always nowadays in louder environments that my hearing is going to get worse i'm really happy with the gift that I got them i got them gift cards at Grand Hotel so I think they're going to really like that and I'm just a sucker for cute elegant packaging like this [Music] [Applause] [Music] i want to try this powder that I just got i never wear powders but I don't have a brush i don't think I can use my hands or can I what's going to happen it looks like I just put a filter on what the hell i don't like the harsh lines around the lips i love looking like I just made out with a prince for 35 minutes [Music] okay here she is the finished look i need to just remove the tag it's definitely very summery but there is no dress code so I think it's okay i'm loving these shoes they're also new so I need to remove the tag on those as well getting ready like this is a lot of fun but also very exhausting so now I'm going to get picked up and then it's wedding time [Music] [Music] dad what's up [Music] the stuff you get when grocery shopping falls into one of three categories one is all the normal stuff that you always get that you know you are going to need and eat because of your standard recipes and meals category number two is things that you just crave it's something new with something that you like you don't really know what you're going to do with it but you just want to try it category number three is you have seen a recipe and you need to buy the ingredients it's a mix of things you usually use and things you don't normally use let's categorize my groceries gas luck falls into the category of things that I like i don't really know what I'm going to do with it but I just like it so I got it tomatoes falls into the category of things that I always buy because I always want to have it at home i just know I'm going to use it avocado same thing there parmesan cheese same thing there cucumber also always use sambal it's something that I like i don't really use it that much but I was like I kind of want to have it at home in case I want to use it pepperoni love jalapenños always also want to have this at home i don't always have that at all but it's one of the things that I enjoy having in the fridge i just love throwing it into almost every meal i just like a little spice lemons use it for everything pumpkin seeds use it a lot in salads do pretty much a lot of things [Music] [Music] this box sweet potatoes is something that I buy on occasion i don't always have it at home but I know that if I'm just out of ideas not knowing what to eat I can always throw sweet potatoes so go in the middle category so the recipe that I'm going to be attempting does have coconut milk and coconut cream i used to always cook with coconut milk and coconut cream when I was vegan for a while and then I also bought toilet paper but I cannot show you that that's too embarrassing
