a cozy day at home in minnesota
Sydney Serena
0:00 Hey guys, it's Sid and welcome back.
0:09 I could not be happier to be back home in Minnesota.
0:12 I was also just reading so many comments about
0:14 how many of you guys love my Minnesota vlogs.
0:17 I can't even put into words how happy that makes me.
0:20 The fact that the feeling translates that I get when I'm home,
0:23 I just feel so peaceful, so happy.
0:25 I'm starting out my day a little different.
0:26 I have never taken a Pilates class here, but I was on [music] Tik Tok.
0:30 You know, here we go again.
0:32 It always goes back to Tik Tok.
0:33 And this Pilates studio that's new came up
0:35 on my for you page and it looked really fun.
0:37 So I booked class last night at 8:00 p.m.
0:39 As you guys know, I don't have a car in New York.
0:41 So being home and driving, it's a little frightening for me.
0:44 I just forget a little bit.
0:46 Don't be scared though.
0:47 Wow, don't fear that Please don't panic.
0:50 I'm really just saying that to myself.
1:05 [music] Guys, Pilates was so good.
1:08 I definitely am out of shape.
1:10 Um, it was so nice in there.
1:11 It was like such a nice studio.
1:12 The instructor was so sweet.
1:14 She even let me like film something after for my vlog
1:16 because I One of my pet peeves is I hate when
1:19 people say that they're going to do something in a vlog
1:21 and then they go do it and they don't show it.
1:23 It's like, then what's the point?
1:24 Don't even tell me.
1:25 You know what I mean?
1:26 I really want to go get coffee, but I'm not sure where to go.
1:30 I kind of been thinking of trying
1:31 somewhere new today because I'm in Minneapolis.
1:34 I also brought my book with me because I knew when I was home in Minnesota,
1:38 I'd have a lot more time to just do nothing.
1:40 And I've been dying to finish this book.
1:42 It's the former Coach CEO.
1:43 He wrote a book about growing Coach, like how he did it,
1:46 the business side of things, which I always find like super interesting.
1:49 And I love Coach, so this just like really appealed to me.
1:52 Yes, guys, I know what you're thinking.
1:55 What are you doing wearing this coat from 2016.
1:58 This is all I have.
1:59 Honestly, I have like no clothes here anymore.
2:01 So, it's either this or like my brother's jacket.
2:04 Coffee time.
2:06 Can we just take a second to appreciate my parallel parking?
2:10 [music]
2:10 Um this probably won't happen again for quite a while.
2:12 So, I'm just taking it in.
2:14 Dad, look at this, please.
2:16 Please.
2:16 Please watch this part closely.
2:18 My recent vlog strategy has been to act like I'm on a FaceTime call.
2:22 So, people don't know that I'm filming cuz I'm so scared.
2:26 Especially here, like people do not vlog or like do social media,
2:29 I feel like as much as in New York.
2:42 [music] Okay, guys.
2:41 I'm at Room Coffee.
2:42 I have my mini microphone and people are looking.
2:46 Anyways, I don't care, guys.
2:48 I don't care.
2:49 I saw on their menu that they have a banana bread latte,
2:51 which I thought looked fun and I asked the barista.
2:54 I always love asking the barista like
2:56 what they like and like what they recommend.
2:59 You know, they could say anything.
3:00 They could say the most disgusting drink and I'd probably trust them.
3:03 So, I don't know why that is, but she recommended the banana bread latte.
3:07 Taste test, I guess.
3:13 Ooh, this actually does taste like a banana bread in latte form.
3:18 Why am I speaking like I'm a food reviewer?
3:20 The cadence I'm I'm speaking [music] in is sounding like Food Network,
3:23 but I knew I could trust her and she didn't steer me wrong.
3:26 She didn't.
3:26 So, thank you to her.
3:27 I'm going to read a little bit.
3:28 It's such a sunny day out and that just like my mood is instantly boosted.
3:39 [music] I hope you guys don't mind that this is being heavily filmed in my car,
3:47 but well, it's actually my mom's car.
3:50 I need to stop into Ulta because I want to get this dry shampoo.
3:54 It's a K18 dry shampoo.
3:56 This is quite a revolution for me.
3:58 They sent it to me about a week and a half ago when I was in New
4:00 York and I used it and I was like so shocked at how well it worked.
4:04 My hair gets greasy very quickly.
4:06 Give it 6 hours, it's already a grease fest.
4:10 It's hard cuz I don't want to like wash my hair like twice a day.
4:13 Anyways, this dry shampoo is honestly like a miracle.
4:15 I cannot believe how well it works and I really want my mom to try it.
4:19 I need to have some here now.
4:20 I'm like addicted to this stuff.
4:22 I couldn't bring it on the plane with me here because I
4:24 packed a carry-on and it was like over the fluid ounce limit.
4:27 I'm going to go pick some up and I'm
4:28 not even wearing a jacket because it's so nice out.
4:32 Nice as in it's like 59, but that's good enough.
4:38 [music]
4:42 This actually used to be my home Ulta, the one that I would always go to.
4:45 So, it's always like nostalgic to go in there, but sadly they didn't have it.
4:49 I was a little sad about it, but then I decided to decompress, took a walk.
4:53 Um, it was so nice out and I like to get my steps in.
4:56 This feels so nostalgic right now.
4:58 We're back in my old kitchen.
4:59 If you watch my really old videos, um, you might recognize this.
5:03 My mom and I took a pasta making class in New York about a month
5:06 ago and about 30 minutes on the way home in the Uber after the class,
5:10 she already purchased a whole entire pasta making kit.
5:14 Now, we have everything that we could possibly need to make our own homemade
5:18 pasta and she's been waiting until I came home to do it with me.
5:22 She is being mysterious today.
5:24 She doesn't want to be on camera.
5:25 I'll be your assistant.
5:26 I'll pass you things.
5:31 [music] [music] [music]
5:46 Pasta making break.
5:48 I'm on another walk with my dog this time.
5:52 Rosie and my dad.
5:55 Yes, hello.
5:55 Getting out with Rosie that needs a walk for sure.
5:58 She does.
5:58 She loves her walks.
6:00 Anyways, Dad, did you know that we're making homemade pasta tonight?
6:03 No.
6:03 That's what we're making, me and Mom.
6:04 Oh, that's awesome.
6:05 So, are you excited?
6:06 I am.
6:07 And did you know that Rosie turns 10 this month?
6:10 No.
6:10 Back to the pasta, are you excited?
6:12 Yeah, definitely.
6:13 Do you think it's going to be good?
6:15 Do you think I'm a good cook?
6:17 Well,
6:20 [music] [music] [laughter]
6:30 Ew, I made a mistake, guys.
6:32 I only brought one poop bag instead of two.
6:34 And now my dad is carrying the dog.
6:37 She just went twice.
6:38 That's my mistake.
6:39 I didn't think she'd go more than once.
6:42 Dinner is served.
6:45 Looks great.
6:46 Really?
6:46 It is 2 hours later, so really hoping this was worth it.
6:50 Take a second bite.
6:52 I like thicker noodles personally, but it does taste pretty fresh.
6:55 Do you like it?
6:56 Yeah.
6:57 Success.
7:00 It's the next day.
7:00 I'm with my family.
7:02 Hi.
7:04 Hi.
7:03 Hi, guys.
7:05 [laughter] Oh my gosh.
7:06 We're about to go mini golfing.
7:09 Um it's one of our favorite family [music] activities.
7:12 I'm just predicting I'll be in first.
7:14 Sydney second.
7:16 Just a prediction.
7:18 We'll see what happens.
7:20 I guess.
7:21 Oh, it's my dad's birthday.
7:24 Yay.
7:23 Start with the guesses.
7:25 Start in the low 20s.
7:27 I didn't drive here.
7:28 I asked my mom to get out so I could come in the front and film.
7:30 That's what happened.
7:32 Is that rude?
7:33 No.
7:33 No.
7:34 Oh, a little bit.
7:35 I don't know why, but I love mini golf.
7:37 [music] And I'm actually kind of good at it.
7:39 Well, okay, that might be a stretch, but look, I have proof.
7:41 I did win and I was happy about it, you know?
7:45 I had to record it.
7:47 [music] I had to have proof.
7:47 Did I even go home if I didn't go to the Mall of America?
7:50 Probably not.
7:51 I love it here.
7:52 We walked around, went into some stores, went to Lush,
7:56 bought some things that I probably didn't need to buy and then
7:58 we went to my dad's birthday dinner at our favorite restaurant.
8:01 It's called Cedar and Stone.
8:02 Birthday dinner.
8:04 We're done with dinner.
8:05 Now we're having our wine.
8:07 And dessert.
8:07 And then dessert, yeah.
8:08 Dessert for dessert, so.
8:10 We got bread pudding.
8:11 I changed into this shirt in the bathroom.
8:13 Yeah, that was mandatory.
8:15 Otherwise they weren't going to allow her in the restaurant, so.
8:21 [music] [music] [music] [music]
8:39 Good morning, guys.
8:40 I slept in a little bit.
8:42 It's so hard for me to not sleep in here.
8:44 I'm starting off the morning going to one of my favorite coffee shops ever.
8:47 It's called Constellation Coffee.
8:49 I love it because they hire people with special
8:51 needs or disabilities and I just think that's so
8:53 special and I feel like those people really need
8:55 more opportunities [music] and sometimes aren't like given the opportunities.
8:58 So I'm about to go in.
8:59 I come here like a lot of the mornings.
9:02 Later today my brother and I are going to a concert.
9:05 It's actually his first concert ever and I told him I'd take him.
9:09 It's like one of his favorite artists, Morgan Wallen.
9:12 To be honest, I don't know anything about Morgan Wallen, zero.
9:15 But I wanted to go for my brother because he loves his music,
9:18 so it's kind of the plan, a busy fun day and then I just extended my trip.
9:23 So I'm staying here for a few more days this weekend.
9:26 This is the typical uniform, hoodie, sweats, Uggs.
9:34 [music] [music] [music] Feeling good.
9:48 It's sunny.
9:49 I just had my coffee [music] and I'm on my way
9:52 to get my dry shampoo that I couldn't find a couple days ago.
9:56 Hopefully they have it.
9:57 I'm going into the Sephora in Kohl's.
10:06 [music] Guys, they have it.
10:07 It's a good day.
10:08 It's actually No, it's a great day now.
10:14 [music] Gosh, my outfit.
10:22 What?
10:23 We are all ready for Morgan Wallen.
10:25 So excited.
10:27 So here's the thing.
10:28 I didn't know we were going to go to this and I didn't bring any outfits,
10:32 so I stole my brother's flannel.
10:35 Okay, [laughter] Ashton's outfit.
10:38 Okay, very Morgan Wallen.
10:40 Very nice, Ashton.
10:42 What How are you feeling?
10:43 Feeling good.
10:44 Ashton, you feel I'm excited.
10:46 Oh, me too.
10:47 Same.
10:47 Okay, my turn.
10:48 You stole my flannel, but that's okay.
10:50 T-shirt, jeans, you know, I tried.
10:52 I'm not really going to blend in very much, but I think it's good.
10:55 Yeah.
10:55 Thanks.
10:56 I was really here for the vibes, my brother and the food.
11:00 Um, never really been to a concert that I like don't know the artist that well,
11:03 but it was still really fun.
11:05 Hey guys, I'm back home from the concert.
11:07 I think it's like 12:30 now.
11:09 It was really fun.
11:10 I, you know, like I said, know nothing about Morgan Wallen,
11:15 but I did recognize a couple songs and it was
11:16 honestly just so fun to like spend time with my brother.
11:19 Living far away from my family, I think has really made me not take
11:22 for granted all the time that I have with them.
11:25 I just love my family.
11:26 I love my brother so much.
11:27 So I'm so glad that we got to do that.
11:29 Anyways, I'm getting ready for bed now.
11:31 I think my mom just texted me to be
11:32 quiet because she's trying to sleep above me.
11:35 Now that I'm a complete disco ball, I'm going to go to bed.
11:38 Night.
11:48 [music]
