hello everybody! please excuse my congested voice, I am getting over a cold,
but I wanted to talk today about some of my current favorite things. I have a lot
of things, actually not that many things, but just a few things I feel very
passionately about at the moment so I needed to share them with you. I'm gonna
start with my two fashiony-type favorites um the first one are a pair of
boots. these I got for Christmas and they're a
pair of vegan leather boots from wills vegan shoes and they're these like snow
boots basically. we've had two or three big like winter storms here in New York
and these have been like absolutely perfect. they're really really
comfortable they have lots of room for my feet. I wear-- they're true to size for
me. I wear a size 8, these are a size 8 and I just love them. I think they look
really nice as well. I just love them they're very
comfortable very durable and my feet have been happy and the second favorite
is something that if you follow me anywhere in the internet you know I
won't shut up about and that is everlane's new underwear. so I'm actually
wearing one of the bras right now and it's just like kind of a tank sports bra
type thing. so comfortable. it's this really amazing cotton that feels so nice
on the skin. if you don't know Everlane is like a sustainable brand that I've
loved absolutely loved for years and they just started releasing underwear. if
you're somebody shops sustainably and like eco-friendly, you know that
underwear is very expensive when made well and in good conditions. I've paid
upwards of $25 for a single pair of underwear and it sucks.
Everlane's are $12 and you can get them like in packs or not in packs
but I think it's like three for twenty-seven and then nine dollars a
pair after that, so I bought four pairs. I actually went to their event over the
weekend and got another free pair as well so five pairs of the underwear and
they're super comfortable. these are empty boxes or mostly empty boxes I have
tried them on they're very comfortable. I have two of the bras and one of the body
suits it's all so so comfortable. I super recommend you check it out it's
affordable for what it is and incredible, incredibly made and comfortable and if
you use my link down below it just gives me store credit. anyone can use one of
those links and if you use it, I I'm very thankful because it means I can
buy more underwear, and other clothes, that'd be really awesome if you did. love
Everlane always and forever. next I'm going to talk about some media
type favorites first one is actually the people who are sponsoring this video
today and you if you follow other booktubers you might have seen a little
bit about this but it's called Playster and it's an app. I actually have been
using it mostly on my computer but I downloaded the app as well. I've been
using this mostly for audiobooks. one of the ones I listened to most recently was
I Stop Somewhere by TE Carter which I listened to on here. they have a really
wide selection of audiobooks. I use overdrive a lot of the time but because
it is a library service I have to often wait for releases especially new
releases so this has new releases, and old releases and you don't have to like
compete with other people for them or wait in line basically so I've been kind
of going between overdrive and this and I really really like it. I think it's a
great app. I actually have a discount code for you as well if you use the
promo code Kayley60 it gives you a 60 day trial
for six dollars and it's like the full media plan, where you can listen to
unlimited audiobooks, ebooks, music, movies, TV shows, everything, which is really cool.
I actually only read the promo code this moment um and that's really awesome so
if you want to download the app I recommend it. they're a really cool
company in general and also I've been using it a lot and listening to a lot of
audiobooks. I haven't been reading much this year, pals. it's been... I've been
really busy with other stuff and I've only read at the moment I'm recording
this 12 books which for me is like usually what I would read in a month
last year and it's the end of March. anyway more information about Playster
down below. my next media favorite is someone I haven't I don't think I've
talked about my channel which is like blasphemous because she's my Queen
that's Hayley Kiyoko. I love Hayley Kiyoko. Hayley Kiyoko is a lesbian pop
artist and she sings about girls loving girls and I'm here for it. her music is
so good, her videos are incredible, she directs them and they're really
beautifully done. they don't over-sexualize the female
body in a lot of ways that like traditional pop videos do.
they're done really tastefully but also really like sexy, they're really sexy
especially for like queer women to see queer women in that... in like that
mainstream pop setting. it's just incredible. I love it so much and
speaking of like queer media: Love, Simon. I loved Love, Simon. don't get me
wrong I liked Simon Versus the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli,
oh my nose is making me talk silly. I liked it but I felt like it was a little
young and for some reason just seeing like queer kids in the Hollywood film
setting, like big theatre, with lots of people that it was just such an
incredible experience. I wish I'd had that in high school because I think I
probably could have learned a lot more about myself from a younger age had I
had these like mainstream pop artists and films and books that a lot of teens
do now and I think that's really amazing. Love, Simon was so so good.
Keiynan Lonsdale is like a gift to us all, his smile is a gift to us all. the music
is incredible. the music I actually just double-checked is on Playster, which is
cool. I've been listening to the soundtrack a ton. we also have the
vinyl. another favorite of mine is something that if you follow me on the
internet you're probably again sick of hearing me talk about and that is
Paddington. the Paddington films are unparalleled.
honestly, Paddington 2 is one of my favourite films I've seen in a very long
time. it's so genuinely good and funny and pure and it's funny in a way that
it's not the expense of like a marginalized group or any specific
person. it's just like a weird like quirky kind of humor. it's very British
which I love obviously. they're just so good and I can't explain it other
than saying it's so pure and beautiful and I want everyone to experience the
Paddington franchise. for Valentine's Day I got my girlfriend this and she got me
this so now they like sit together, our little Paddington children. I got a lot
of Paddington books for my birthday, I want a Paddington tattoo, that's
probably gonna happen eventually. I love Paddington. actually the day I'm
filming this is the day that Paddington comes out oh my gosh Paddington 2 is
now out I'm going to you like buy it as soon as I finished
filming this, like buy it on Amazon or something. Wow.
my final favourites are two television shows. I finally like a month and a half
ago caught up on The Good Plave and it was so good. it's gotten so funny. I love
the weird like concept humor and I just love it. I love the good place. I thought
it was so genuinely funny and clever and it just went places that I didn't
expect. so I don't like sitcoms I really don't like the sitcom format.
I don't like 20 minutes shows in general. I like can't get invested normally but I
binge watch the good place which I think maybe I prefer watching, binge
watching like short programs and then watching long programs week to week. I
don't know but I loved it. and the final thing is jessica jones season 2. if you
know me you know i'm a die-hard Jessica Jones fan. season 1 is one of my favorite
seasons of television that ever has existed. I did not like season 2 nearly
as much um I think the subject matter of season 1 was really personal to me
so season 2 didn't quite have that same like gut-wrenching relatability that
season 1 had for me but I still really enjoyed it and thought it was really
funny and there are some really great moments and Krysten Ritter is incredible.
so that's all there is to it. those are my favourites. I feel like I'm forgetting
stuff um I also have some like makeup skincare type things but I'm considering
doing a skincare video in a couple months when I've like really solidified
all the new products I've been getting and like got a routine down, considering
doing a skincare video. if you're interested in that, let me know. I'm also
trying to collect questions eventually for a Q&A so if you have any questions
for me, please put them in the comments down below. don't forget to
check out Playster if you want like unlimited access to their all their
content like their audiobooks, ebooks, films, TV shows, etc use my discount code
down below. it's a really awesome service. I wouldn't promote things that I didn't
believe in, didn't enjoy genuinely like I used this for a while before eventually
deciding to take the sponsorship so I swear I'm very picky when it comes to
sponsorship, so if you like it or if that sounds interesting, check it out. and yeah
thank you so much for watching. I'll see you very soon.
