That Darn Cat

2013-10-28T08:43:00.000-07:00

About a month after getting married.. Ryan and I got a kitten! We are both big animal lovers, and I had been crying about wanting a kitten for probably the past year, so there we have it. That's a good enough reason, right?

We went down the humane society, filled out some paperwork, and got taken back to play with some kittens... and fell in love after about 1 minute and went home with this little guy:

What I've learned about him: He has an obsession with Ryan's hats. Mostly his work hat. He went from cuddly to crazy in about 1.5 months. But we still love him. He lives to bite feet. And fingers. And legs. And hands. And arms. And faces. And he really really likes food. And he has a name, but we mostly call him kitty so what is even the point.

It's Been A Couple Months...

2013-09-22T12:33:00.002-07:00

I haven't really shared any details of the wedding. That's simply because my wedding was very, well, simple. Our ceremony was at Centennial Park in Coronado, CA at 2 P.M. Close family and friends were in attendance.

Altogether we had about 60 people show up. After the ceremony was over, we took family pictures, then our photographer took Ryan and myself and we walked around the island taking pictures as a married couple.

After that, we headed on down to our reception site, where I promptly changed out of my dress (for it was sucking the life out of me and I was thisclose to fainting.) The reception was about as low-key as it gets. Held in the cultural hall of our church, minimal decoration, it was just a bunch of people hanging around, eating, and having a good time.

We did a couple of the traditional reception things.. the cake cutting, the toast.. but I didn't really want to do anything else. I am a pretty low maintenance kind of girl, and I am not a huge fan of all eyes on me. The one other thing I wish I would have done, though, is the first dance, and dance with my dad. Hindsight is 20/20. I don't regret not doing them, I just think it would have been a good thing to do.

NOW. We've been married for 2.5 months. And it's great. We're preparing to move across the country in just over 3 months. About the 28th of December we'll start our drive to Virginia, where Ryan will be stationed for the next 3 years. After that, who knows? We're both SO excited to experience the east coast, and are always talking about the trips we can take and things we can see. Neither of us have been to the east coast before, so living there should be quite interesting.

I got married

2013-07-30T11:53:00.001-07:00

As it turns out, getting married made me want to burn this blog to the ground.

All I'm saying is, I was not a graceful bride to be. I hated planning, I was stressed, and I wanted it to be over. The last thing I wanted to do was get on my blog and document all the things I haven't done and need to do.

But here I am. I got married 2 weeks ago. I am now Kellie Barker.

We have an apartment in San Diego for the next 6 months, and at the end of the year we'll be moving somewhere else. We don't know where yet. It used to be Virginia for sure, but that has hit a snag and we could be going anywhere now.

I like being married a lot. My husband is great. He buys me donuts and things.

A few pictures:

and a few photos taken by our photographer:

Tidbit of Information

2013-05-15T19:38:00.003-07:00

When taking these pictures, the photographer told Ryan to list 5 things he can't wait to do when we're married. Unfortunately Ryan could only think of two.

"I can't wait to fart on you all the time.. and you can make me food."

True love.

(PS just under 2 months til the big day!)

engagement pictures

2013-04-11T13:59:00.000-07:00

I went down to San Diego last weekend to take some engagement pictures with Ryan. The photographer we used posted a few on Facebook and I thought I'd share some of my favorites!

Snow Day

2013-03-03T23:43:00.001-08:00

Half an inch of snow is all it takes to close down schools in California.

Also, gratuitous picture of my derpy dog.

March

2013-03-03T23:25:00.000-08:00

Looking forward to:

Spring break. No work for a week. Ryan's mom coming to visit and celebrating his and my birthdays. That sentence seems very grammatically incorrect. I don't care, it's late.

The 31st. My birthday, Easter, Game of Thrones, Padres opening day, and engagement pictures. All of that in one day. It is going to be amazing, and I can't wait.

March has always been my favorite month, probably for the sole reason that it's my birthday month. It's also my anniversary month.. and Ryan's birth month. And March just makes me think about spring and changing seasons. And happiness. March is a good month.

A Weekend

2013-02-26T18:32:00.001-08:00

Disneyland. LA. San Diego. Coheed.

Busy

2013-02-07T23:32:00.000-08:00

The past couple of weeks have been busy and not particularly fun. But hopefully they start getting better soon.

I went wedding dress shopping yesterday and I found 'the' dress. It was the second dress I tried on. I tried on 4 in total, but I couldn't get my dress out of my head. So I tried it on again and just knew that was it. I wish I could post pictures all over my blog, because I'm so ecstatic about it. But you'll just have to trust me when I say it's perfect for me.

Work has been work. It keeps me busy for half the day and that's all I can really ask for. PS when I get bored I take pictures of myself.

But can I just say. I thought I'd be dealing with sweet little kids at a middle school. No. Most of these kids are pure terror in a human body. And it's no wonder kids grow up to be so self conscious. We have snack carts that sell chips, cookies, waters, gatorades, brownies.. you know, snacks. They're pretty popular, because give a kid $10 and he'll spend it on junk food, ya know? Whenever a girl gets more than one thing, you're guaranteed to hear her friends saying "Oh my gosh you're so fat! Hahaha.."

I mean seriously.

Their attitudes are just insane. They are all under the impression that they are very cool, and that it matters whether or not you're cool. Which results in some very loud kids with unfiltered mouths.

Done complaining.

Now here's a picture of my dog who turned 8 today. I got her in 2005 and I need her to stop aging right now.

When I'm not working or eating, I'm re-watching The Office. I'm on season 5 now, and I'm starting to get to the point where I stopped watching. Also.. I'm on season 5 and I only started re-watching about a week ago. So that should either tell you 1. That I am hopeless and have 0 semblance of a life or 2. It's really good. Or maybe a mixture of both.

But next weekend I'm going down to see Ryan for the weekend. Then again the weekend after that (plus we're going to a Coheed concert! Ah!) So my life might start picking up again. Oh and we're getting engagements done one of those weekends too! Which means another thing crossed off the list, and invitations will be started.

I'm rambling now. Bye!

Motivation Lacking

2013-01-23T16:34:00.001-08:00

I've been feeling almost disgusted by the thought of having to post on my blog, lately.
---

Work has been going really well. It's a little easier now that I'm familiar with everything and everyone. Also, one of the students said "You look like Taylor Swift!" to me yesterday, so how can I not love it?

On Sunday I went down to see Ryan for the day. We drove up to Disneyland and saw the Aladdin musical, then went to dinner at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles.. because why not. I hadn't seen him in 3 weeks though, and the trip was much much much needed.

Speaking of Ryan, he got a call today informing him that we got the ceremony venue we applied for! When I went to see him we took a walk over there. It was at night, but it's still beautiful.

And on that note, I'm making pork tacos with homemade tortilla chips for dinner. I need to go eat a lot of that right now.

Crazy Dog Lady

2013-01-14T18:52:00.002-08:00

I spent my first week of January looking at every single wedding ceremony venue in the Southern California area. We finally found one, fingers crossed that we get the day we want!

My second week of January was spent watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes. Like.. from when I woke up til I went to bed. I also spent that time freezing my butt off. Fires are great but they tend to go out at night.. and you wake up freezing cold. But don't worry about me, I found a space heater and I am cold no longer.

I didn't do much else with my week besides cuddle with dogs, go to the dentist (deeeesaster,) and take a picture of the one and only time it will snow up here this year.

And now I'm back at work after a 3 week break. And counting down the days til my wedding. Then stopping the counting because it stresses me out. Then starting again because I don't care and can't wait to marry my best friend.

2,012 Pictures of 2012

2013-01-01T17:53:00.002-08:00

Maybe not quite 2,012.. but I totally overdid it with the pictures. I just had such a full and happy year.

Not everything was perfect. I had moments where I felt like I was so stressed out that I'd be bald in a week. But the good far outweighs the bad.

I moved, spent an unforgettable 7 months in San Diego, grew into a better, more patient person, moved again, switched jobs 3 times, and drove way too many miles. And at the end of the year, I got the best surprise of all when my boyfriend of almost 4 years proposed to me.

Yeah, I'd say the good faaaar outweighs the bad.

A sunset trip to the beach.

Tickets for WWE Raw

A trip to the zoo.

Our first of many trips to Sea World

We spent a day at La Jolla looking for shells on the beach and experiencing Sprinkles for the first time.

We spent his birthday driving all over LA looking for a bass guitar, and ended the day at my favorite restaurant.

After much persuading, I got Ryan to take me to see Hunger Games

We spent my birthday at the Wild Animal Park

We made yet another trip to Sea World

I appreciated getting a little bit of rain in Sunny San Diego.

He came home from Jordan bearing gifts..

I made him pose for a picture at Disneyland.

We had the time of our lives at Comic Con

We went to La Jolla and saw a seagull trying to eat a fish whole.

Family came to visit & we showed them around San Diego.

A little fun at Chargers fan fest

Another sunset trip to La Jolla

A goodbye cake from my boss who kinda sorta really loved my guts.

A kitten that didn't get to stay around for very long.

A weekend visit to see a Padres game and (of course) go to Disneyland

An October trip to Julian, Bates Nut Farm, and (are you really surprised?) Disneyland.

A weekend spent with Ryan's family at a Chargers game.

I had my first white Christmas with Ryan's family in Cedar...

And I was perfectly surprised when Ryan proposed with a beautiful ring!

And to finish it off, we ended our year with our 19th visit to Disneyland since April. We're not obsessed.

To be honest, I've never been happier or more excited to start a new year. In 6 months time I'll be getting married to my best friend. I can't WAIT.

I'm Alive and I'm...

2012-12-28T17:54:00.003-08:00

ENGAGED.

Omg omg omg omg omg I know right?

I got engaged Christmas day. And then I died from happiness.

I am writing this as a ghost.

Just kidding. OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE I'M FINALLY ENGAGED.

Firmoo Glasses

2012-12-12T20:43:00.001-08:00

So, I don't do sponsored posts often for a very simple reason: I don't often get email offers to do sponsored posts.

Well, I usually don't get offers that excite me. Also, I'm extremely lazy.

But when I got the offer from Firmoo I couldn't resist. They asked to send me a free pair of glasses or sunglasses in exchange for a review. And let me tell you, I've been wanting people to think I'm smart for a long time, so I picked a pair of non prescription glasses.

Considering how far they had to come, they shipped pretty fast. I got them about 6-7 days from shipping confirmation.

What I got:

These are the glasses I chose..

They came with a hard case, soft case, wipe thing, and little screwdriver with extra screws. Can you tell I know a lot about glasses? Color me impressed by how much they included at no cost to me. The cases are very good quality, and I love the black and turquoise colors that I got.

That's my "I feel kind of stupid for wearing glasses that I don't need but no one knows I don't need them" face. On that note, I LOVE these glasses. I have zero problems with them. I wore them all day today, and barely noticed they were there. Usually I get headaches from wearing sunglasses.. I had no problems with that. I love them.

And now for the best part. Firmoo is offering you your first pair, for free. All you pay is shipping (~6.95)

All you have to do is go here: First pair free. They have tons of glasses, prescription, fashion, and sunglasses. What I'm saying is there's something for everyone. I genuinely love these glasses. They're cheap($$), and they're good quality, and if you don't like them they'll refund you. But you'll like them. Trust me, I wear glasses.

Sneaking Into My Heart

2012-12-09T17:28:00.000-08:00

Monster is a sneaky guy. He just waltzes into my room, all innocent like, throws me his best pair of puppy dog eyes, and climbs up next to me on the bed and falls asleep on my arm.

We are basically best nap friends. Also we are best best friends.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel

2012-12-07T23:10:00.002-08:00

It is decided. Henceforth I am refraining from getting a haircut in an effort to turn into Rapunzel.

Also, I have some thoughts to share with you guys in regards to two television shows that have consumed my life lately.

True Blood-

Okay. This is like a mix of Twilight and Vampire Diaries. Plus side: the vamps in this show don't sparkle. Downside: Some of them have that Twilight brooding thing down pat. Also, Bill doesn't believe in using contractions when he speaks. He also says "Sookie" like.. "Sookehhhh" and it totally makes me want to punch my laptop. Oh, and there are just a LOT of boobs in this show.

Good thing, though.. it's interesting enough. So I keep watching.

Doctor Who-

Okay. I had trouble with this show in the beginning. Bored me to death. But that was mostly cured once I got past season one. The special effects are awful, but I can overlook that now. I love the adventures. I love the doctor. The weeping angels scare the bejeezus out of me. I'm just emotionally invested in the doctor and his companions.. except for Martha. Martha can get EXTERMINATE!-ed.

That is all.

Reflection

2012-12-04T19:47:00.003-08:00

I'm cranking this one out for no reason other than I want to reminisce. Also I can't think of anything else to write. I should be starting work soon, fingers crossed. But there's still a chance I might not start til next month. If that happens, I might die. Holy crap.

Anywho. I can't believe it has been over a year since my trip to Chicago to see Ryan's boot camp graduation. Which means it's also going on a year since I moved away from St. George.

These are by far some of the favorite memories I have.
While he was in boot camp I wrote him a letter every single night, and sent it out each morning (except Sundays.) He told me that some days he'd get 3 letters in a day (because they receive mail weird there) and that he loved it. Every day I'd get home from work and basically RUN up the stairs to see if I had a letter waiting for me on the bed. I only got to talk to him on the phone twice during the 2 months he was there. So I lived for his letters.

Basically going to see him graduate had turned me into a big knot of nerves. We flew from Vegas to Chicago, and spent the night before just walking around the ridiculously huge mall near Great Lakes. And the next morning we were up bright and early to go to the base.

My favorite part of the ceremony was probably listening to hundreds of sailors singing "Anchors Aweigh." My second favorite part was the part where it ended and I got a big hug from my favorite person in the world. And then spending the next two days getting lost in Chicago and being freezing cold. The deep dish wasn't so shabby either.

This is just one of those memories that I really hold dear to my heart. I don't particularly know why. I just feel like it was a point in my life where my love for him grew even more, when I didn't think it could be possible. And maybe I've just been sitting here all night thinking about how much I love him and wanted to write a blog post that mostly revolves around him. Whatevs.

That is the end of my overly sentimental reminiscing post.

Weekend In A Nutshell

2012-11-27T00:58:00.000-08:00

5 days with boyfriend.

Turkey day.

700 miles of driving.

Malls.

Football game. (Fun even if they lost.)

Fun.

I love him. And his family.

That one time I wrote a real post

2012-11-19T00:47:00.000-08:00

Guys, I woke up the other night with the best idea for a novel. It came to me in a dream. I made a note of it in my phone then passed back out, and woke up many many (manymany) hours later with determination. It has been a goal of mine since I started reading, to one day write my own book. I opened up a word document. Over a 30 minute period of time I painfully typed out a paragraph. Erased. Typed. Erased. Typed. Started watching Modern Family and ignored the document for 3 days.

I think my problem is my mind takes it in a thousand different directions. If all my different ideas for it were worth a dollar each, I could fix this country's budget deficit.

My first paragraph frustrates me. I don't know how to start it. It has to be interesting enough to make you want to keep reading. Where do I explain things? Do I write it in 1st or 3rd person? How do I give background info about my character? How do I make it all tie in so it doesn't read choppy?

What do I name my characters? Oh I like that name. Wait, I hated a girl in high school with that name, need to pick something different.

(Small portion of my bookses.. my precious bookses.)

Then comes the insecurity with my writing. I have about a quarter of a billion books myself. I've read them all at least twice. Unless they sucked. Then I used them for kindling and toilet paper. How do I make my novel original? How do I come up with my own ideas that aren't influenced by the tons of other books I've read? What if my great idea is just really terrible?

Needless to say, my biggest hurdle in finally following through with writing.. will be myself.

You're Stupid, Have Some Cute

2012-11-13T15:43:00.002-08:00

Here's the deal. If you think you'd be better off if your state were to secede from the United States.. I think you should take a swim in a pool filled with history books. Also you should probably dive into it from the top of the Empire State building.. but let's not get mean here.

Now I submit to you: Kitty meeting puppy pictures that I have shown on this blog before but am going to show again because I have nothing original to write about.

I miss that kitty.

Also, puppy mostly just wanted to eat the cat. But it sure looks cute, doesn't it?

San Diego-ish and Anaheim-y

2012-11-05T18:53:00.000-08:00

I got to see boyfriend again this weekend, and in true fashion, we decided our time would be best spent at Disneyland. Hey, we're just trying to get the best use out of our annual passes. Plus, we both really wanted a Franken-fusion lemonade. They are delish.

Yet we only spent a few hours there. It was hot, and they were filming the Holiday Parade (or whatever) so it was really inconvenient to try and get anywhere. Everyone was crowding the sidewalks of Main Street trying to get a glimpse of some famous people. So we skedaddled (new favorite word) on out of there and went on a mission to find food.

GUYS.

Let me explain to you my food situation this weekend.

We went to Alberto's, because it's Alberto's and it's delicious. We were craving some Carne Asada fries and rolled tacos. We order Carne Asada fries and 10 rolled tacos, (we were hungry, ok?)

We get the food out and what did we get? Cheese enchiladas, a fish taco, Mexican pizza, and carne asada fries. I mean, we were even the only people in the drive through, so it's not like they mixed our orders up. Boyfriend ate the fries, I ate half of the nasty enchilada and threw everything else away. While the starving children in China wept.

And the next day, we went to Pink's. I told boyfriend I wanted a chili cheese dog, he ordered me chili cheese fries.

Basically, I didn't get to eat anything I wanted this weekend. This was also the worst story ever.

NEXT DAY. After a quick stop at Starbucks, and me actually uttering the words "Hold on! I have to Instagram this!"

We headed over to Knott's Berry Farm (an amusement park) for a free day of fun.

Active duty + 1 guest get in free for the month of November. Obviously we had to take advantage.

Lowlights: Our expectations for theme parks have been set ridiculously high.. so pretty much everything that is not Disney is a let down. One ride broke down right after we got off. Another ride had been shut down the day before, and guests were stuck 300 feet in the air for 3.5 hours. We lost our desire to ride the rides here.

Highlights: The pony express ride. You ride a horse while riding a rollercoaster. SO COOL.

But we were pretty much done after this ride. We ate and then made the trek back down to San Diego. And thennnn I had to leave.

Again.

Leaving stinks.

A lot.

So much.

And then I had to drive home, dead tired. I was genuinely surprised I made it home alive, and probably should have pulled over to take a quick nap at some point. But I'm tough, right? Sure.

Wednesday

2012-10-24T10:00:00.000-07:00

The serious business of my life right now:

I had to cancel my Netflix account that I've had since 2009. Guys, I legitimately shed a tear over this. Not really because of the cancellation, but mostly because it made me realize that at this point in time, I cannot take care of myself financially. That's a pretty hard realization.

On a lighter note..

I have a love/hate relationship with chicken. The sight and smell of raw chicken makes me gag. If I cook it for dinner (for the family,) I will not eat it. But if someone else does the cooking, I'm okay with eating it. Mostly in a fried form.

My dear friends, I can tell when your comments are disingenuous. For example, if you comment: "Thanks for sharing your fashion insights!" (followed by blog link and tag line..) on my blog post about having a bug crawl up my leg making me take my pants off in the middle of my back yard... Something tells me you missed the whole idea of my post.
If you come here solely to get me to go to your blog and follow, then just go away.

--

I had an interview today for another job. When I got in, she informed me that the position wouldn't start until mid-December. I am having zero luck with interviews.

Pre interview game face of indifference. Or concern? I actually just saw a squirrel run by as I took the picture.

-
I'm now leaving you with a picture of our dog Hazel, smiling.
(She is not snarling.. she gets so excited when she sees us, that her lips curl up into a smile. It's adorable.)

Things I've Learned About Disney

2012-10-22T12:34:00.000-07:00

Embrace the FastPass!!
If you are like me, and completely hate waiting in boring lines.. then utilize these puppies. Boyfriend and I basically have fastpasses down to a science, but I'll keep it short and sweet for you guys. Get a fastpass first, for the ride you most want to go on. Throughout the day you can get more fastpasses, just pay attention to the bottom of your ticket, which will tell you when you can go get another one. You can use your fastpass ANY time after the initial return time. You do not have to use it only during that allotted hour.
These things are serious life savers. Use 'em.

Get a Dole Whip
Wear your patient pants and wait in the 15-20 minute line, and get yourself a Dole Whip. 15-20 minutes just for some pineapple ice cream?! Yes, guys. It's totally worth it. My Disney trip is never complete without one.

On the subject of food..
I do not recommend: Hungry Bear Restaurant. The food is less than stellar. (Read: it was gross.) I DO recommend trying the beignet in New Orleans Square, or a Monte Cristo sandwich from Cafe Orleans. If you have a few extra dollars to blow, you can try to get a table at Blue Bayou. That'll be the restaurant to the right of you as you're on Pirates. The food is amazing, but the wait times to get a table are usually upwards of an hour. Reservations are also tough to make. If you want something on the cheap, the hot dogs and corn dogs are great (and what boyfriend and I usually end up getting.)

Trying to avoid the crowds?
Ha, good luck. Boyfriend and I have had very mixed luck with this, and now we don't try at all. The least crowded weekend that we went (really, the park was like a ghost town compared to how it usually is) was within the first couple of weeks that school got back in. We don't get to go on weekdays very often, but when we do, it's always just as crowded as the weekends.

Ride the kids rides
You're allowed to be a kid here. Are they as exciting as the more 'adult' rides? No. But if you're looking for nothing but exciting rides, you should probably be at 6 Flags and not Disney. Embrace the Disney magic, and experience your favorite movies through the rides. You will walk out of the ride grinning.
(True story: The Snow White ride still scares the crap out of me.)

Stay for the show
The fireworks are always spectacular, as is World of Color at California Adventure. Be forewarned, things get crowded, and if you try to find a spot at the last minute, you won't get the best view.
Also step inside for a few of the silly 3-D or 4-D shows (or Great Moments with Mr Lincoln). They can be a nice way to relax your feetsies for 10 minutes, and the shows aren't bad.

To Bring
If you're going sans kids, you don't need to bring a whole lot. I recommend bringing a couple bottles of water and possibly some snacks. (You will pay out the butt for these things inside the park.) If you're going in the fall - 'winter' time, bring a sweater in your backpack. It gets pretty cold (California cold) once the sun starts to set, and you'll want it. I've kicked myself plenty of times for going without one, and shivering my way through the rest of the night.

In the end.. you really can't go wrong at Disneyland.
But if there's one thing you decide to do.. GET THE DOLE WHIP.

Influenster Beauty Bloggers VoxBox

2012-10-19T14:07:00.001-07:00

Do you like free stuff?

Ok, I thought so. Keep reading.

Influenster is basically a product sampling service just like Birchbox and whatnot, with a few distinct differences.
1.) It's 100% free
2.) The boxes come less frequently, and you are not guaranteed to get each box.

Since joining the website I've received two boxes. (In about 4 or 5 months.) To get the boxes, you fill out your profile on Influenster, linking it up to your social media sites. You then roam around the website, unlocking 'badges' and writing reviews of products. The more active you are on the site, the more likely you are to get the boxes. And the boxes are good.

So the theme for their most recent box was Beauty Bloggers. This is what I received in mine:

1. Kiss Ever Pro Lashes starter kit

- I have never ever worn fake lashes.. they scare me. But I'm definitely going to give these a try, probably on Halloween.

2. Goody Spin Pin

- I actually have some of these already.. and they do not work in my hair. Maybe if I put 4 in at a time they will? Ha! I've heard they work wonders for most people, though.

3. NYC IndividualEyes Custom Compact ($4.99)

- I don't wear eyeshadow, like, ever. This compact comes with 4 shades, a primer and an illuminator. The last time I wore eyeshadow was two years ago. I'll definitely experiment with this and see if I can figure it out.

4. Not Your Mother's Kinky Moves curl defining hair cream.

- I totally do not have curly hair.. but this says it also tames fly aways and frizz so I might be able to use it anyway. Plus.. it smells ahh mazing.. so I'm sure I'll put it in my hair just so it smells better. (The link takes you to Ulta.com where Not Your Mother's products are BOGO 50% off.)

5. Bath and Body Works mini candle in Cider Lane

Who doesn't love Bath and Body Works candles? Exactly.. everyone loves them. This one smells amazing. Obviously. They included a coupon code that can be used online, for $10 3 wick candles (regularly $20). Up to 5. So buy away! Code: F126566

6. (EXTRA) Vitabath Fragrance Mist in Grapefruit Vanilla

- Based on your survey answers and demographic, you qualified for one of two extras. I got the Vitabath fragrance mist in grapefruit vanilla. At first glance, I'm not a huge fan of the packaging. But it smells so good.. so I can overlook that.

Influenster is open to anyone and everyone.. so go sign up so you can start receiving free stuff! It's totally worth it.

( I wrote this blog post of my own volition. Influenster doesn't require you to blog or vlog about what you receive, but they do encourage it.)
