BIRTHDAY VLOG - SUMMER HAUL, HOW TO BRAID YOUR OWN HAIR & VACATION PREP

A birthday lunch, karaoke night, how I braid my own hair, a few new favorites, why I’m not a fan of dating shows (are you?), and while I was doing my braids, I went down the rabbit hole because The Polygamist on Netflix had me in shambles. So naturally, we ended up talking about cheating and whether we’re explaining away behavior we shouldn’t. Do you watch dating shows? And… should I keep the black sandals? Grab a snack, AWE-Stars. Let’s catch up.
