a cozy day in my life vlog
Sydney Serena
0:00 Good morning, guys.
0:00 It's Sid.
0:05 [music] [music] [music] Today we're doing another vlog.
0:19 And today I'm not working.
0:21 So, I wanted to do things that I haven't done in the city before.
0:24 I feel like being in a routine is a really good thing.
0:27 And something that I really love is being in a routine.
0:29 But it's also good to like break out of it and try new things.
0:32 I think I get really comfortable with my life.
0:35 And I just like never want to like stray away
0:37 from my three places that I go on the daily.
0:40 Like I have my coffee shop that I love.
0:42 I have my dinner spot that I love.
0:44 I have my shops that I love.
0:45 And I just like I think I have an obsessive
0:47 personality honestly because I never seem to stray away from them.
0:50 And I really just like want to try new spots today.
0:53 So like I said, I'm a habit of creature.
0:55 I think we all are.
0:56 habit.
0:57 Creature of habit, I meant.
0:58 Oh my god, did you guys hear that what I just said?
1:00 I found this workout class while doing research on TikTok.
1:04 It looked really fun.
1:05 I think it's just good to like push yourself
1:06 to like try new things that like you wouldn't normally try.
1:09 And this is like a hybrid dance workout class.
1:13 I would not say I'm the best dancer.
1:14 If anything, I would actually say I probably am like the worst.
1:17 We'll see.
1:17 I have no idea.
1:18 I signed up last night before bed at 8:00 p.m.
1:21 and we're going to go try it together.
1:23 I also want to try like a new coffee shop today.
1:26 I want to try maybe like going to this fashion
1:28 museum later and just hang out with you guys.
1:31 [music] So, all right, I should probably leave.
1:35 I really stick to my same gym routine every day.
1:37 I just go on the treadmill on an incline for like 45 minutes.
1:40 So, this was pretty polar opposite of what I usually do,
1:42 which was the whole point.
1:43 The creators of this place tried to make it sort
1:46 of like a rave with the lighting and the music.
1:49 [music] I thought it was really fun,
1:53 but I did find the choreography to be kind of harder than I anticipated.
1:57 Okay, guys.
1:58 I just got out of my class.
2:00 It was actually pretty hard.
2:01 I don't know why it was harder than I expected.
2:04 My arms are very sore particularly.
2:06 I don't know if that that was supposed to happen or if that's just me,
2:09 but I had a lot of fun.
2:10 I actually made a friend in there at the end
2:12 and she told me a coffee shop to try around the corner.
2:15 Okay, friend might be a stretch.
2:17 I wouldn't go that far.
2:18 But I did meet this girl after the class
2:20 and I was asking her for coffee shop recommendations.
2:23 So I ended up at Paper Coffee.
2:25 I walked in and it was just so beautiful because it's [music] in a hotel.
2:29 It kind of put me at peace.
2:31 Ironically, after that crazy rave workout, I think I needed this for my soul.
2:36 I also really needed this honey bear latte that I had no
2:39 idea existed because I always get the same vanilla latte every time.
2:43 So, I wanted to switch it up and I'm glad I did.
2:45 This was pretty good.
2:46 good.
2:46 I liked it cuz it wasn't like too overly sweet and it
2:48 was just such a nice little relaxing end to my morning.
2:54 The biggest form of delayed gratification, I think,
2:57 is getting up early to work out.
2:59 I am being very dramatic,
3:00 but I'm not one of those people that's an automatic morning person.
3:03 I don't like love waking up at 6:00 a.m.
3:05 I actually hate it.
3:06 In the moment, I hate it.
3:08 You know, I want to hit snooze and just go straight back to bed,
3:10 but I feel so much better now.
3:12 It's only 10:30 a.m.
3:14 and I just feel like I've already done so much today.
3:17 I showered, washed my hair, and I'm going to get ready for the day.
3:21 The best part of that workout class was
3:23 that I was like really nervous the whole time,
3:26 like kind of self-conscious about it because I
3:28 don't know why I couldn't like remember the sequence
3:30 because they kept changing the sequence and I
3:32 felt like I just like wasn't doing it right.
3:35 I met this girl.
3:36 She told me that it was also her first time there like me.
3:39 And she told me, she's like, "Honestly, I was so nervous that whole class.
3:42 Like I felt like I was like messing everything up." And that made
3:45 me feel better because I felt the same way the whole class.
3:48 So to hear that like someone else was feeling the exact same way.
3:51 It was also kind of like insecure [laughter]
3:53 about like the workout made me feel better.
3:56 When I was in the class,
3:57 I kind of just like look around and I just assume that everyone's
3:59 been there a million times and like everyone knows what they're doing.
4:01 But honestly, it just goes to show
4:03 that people are really only focusing on themselves.
4:06 No one really cares like what you're doing.
4:07 They're just trying to like keep it together.
4:09 After I finish getting ready,
4:10 I'm going to go straight to lunch cuz I'm so hungry.
4:13 And then I think I'm going to go to the fashion museum.
4:16 It's somewhere that I've been wanting to go for so
4:18 long and I just I'm trying to do things that I've
4:21 always like said I would do and like put them
4:23 off because if I never do it at some point, it's just never going to happen.
4:28 [music] I just did a little bit of light makeup for today.
4:40 Nothing too crazy.
4:41 I'm going to get dressed before I go.
4:43 It's absolutely freezing outside.
4:44 New Yorkers would say it's brick.
4:46 I say it's freezing.
4:48 I want to just do something really cute, cozy, and warm.
4:51 But I'm styling my outfit around the Coach Brooklyn bag.
4:54 And I'm so excited to be working with Coach again on today's video.
4:57 You guys know how much I love Coach at this point.
5:00 I talk about them like all the time.
5:01 I grew up buying stuff from them.
5:03 This is just such a perfect essential everyday bag.
5:05 I can fit so much stuff in here.
5:07 I bring a ton of stuff with me and I got the medium size.
5:11 I just love the look of this.
5:12 I think it's so beautiful, so sleek, so classy.
5:15 Building off of the bag.
5:16 I want to keep the outfit itself pretty neutral.
5:18 All right, option number one.
5:19 I really love the black bag with this top.
5:21 Super comfy, cozy, casual.
5:23 Pretty much exactly what I was going for.
5:25 Okay, next option.
5:26 Again, a very comfy, cozy look.
5:29 I really don't know what I like better.
5:30 I'm thinking maybe the first sweater, actually, cuz I like the collar with it.
5:34 What do you guys think?
5:37 I have a vision coming together.
5:39 Give me a second.
5:40 I threw on some black jeans and then some black flats to go with it.
5:43 I like the black with the black bag.
5:45 I think it goes well.
5:46 Then for a coat, which I desperately need,
5:49 I'm going to throw this sort of dark olive green suede coat on.
5:53 This is going to be closed very tight because it is so cold.
5:57 I chose this cuz I like how the black buttons kind of go with the bag.
6:00 So, this is the final look.
6:03 What do we think?
6:04 My favorite part of this whole look is the bag.
6:06 How beautiful is this bag?
6:08 I just love it.
6:10 And I wanted to bring a little book with me
6:11 because I wanted to read while I have lunch.
6:14 This is the book I've been reading.
6:15 I'm actually almost done with it.
6:16 I love how I can fit so much in this bag.
6:18 So, I just love that I can bring everything in my Brooklyn bag everywhere I go.
6:22 Anyways, let's head out to lunch.
6:24 I am so hungry and excited to eat.
6:30 [music] [music] [music] Hotel Chelsea just never disappoints.
6:47 [music] It was one of the first places I went when I moved to New York.
6:50 It's so classical Victorian, just so beautiful in there.
6:54 I could just observe and like stare at the architecture and decor for so long.
6:58 I ordered a $9 Diet Coke.
7:00 Did not know it was going to be $9 until I got the bill.
7:03 And then I also got this cheese plate with some jam.
7:06 You know, this was a special treat for me.
7:08 And then after I made my way to go to the museum,
7:12 I did have to do a little bit of searching to find one that was open.
7:16 You guys saw I just left Chelsea Hotel.
7:18 It was so beautiful.
7:19 Since I wanted to try new things today that I really like don't do often,
7:23 I wanted to go to a museum.
7:25 So, I'm in Chelsea.
7:26 I was going to go to a fashion museum, but it was closed.
7:28 That was also really sad.
7:29 I walked in and they like shook their head.
7:32 Like, you should have known.
7:33 Instead of that place, Fit, I decided to go to Chelsea.
7:36 There's like a little street where there's tons of galleries
7:39 and you can just like walk in and gallery hop.
7:41 I've always wanted to do this, so I'm very curious.
7:44 I've had a lot of people recommend this to me
7:45 and I've just never like made the time.
7:47 So, that's where I am right now.
7:49 Oh, I'm on the little street of galleries and I think you just like walk in.
7:54 I don't know if you have to pay.
7:55 They obviously have rotating galleries with different
7:58 pieces and different [music] exhibitions every so often.
8:01 So, I'm excited.
8:02 This is a bit spontaneous considering the one I was going to go to was closed.
8:11 [music] [music] [music] All right, guys.
8:23 I'm back home.
8:24 I had a lot of fun today.
8:26 Ironically, it felt very romantic when I think about it.
8:29 Going to the Chelsea Hotel for brunch, looking at the gallery art.
8:34 But hey, that's your sign to romanticize your life alone.
8:37 I think about a lot that I won't have alone time forever.
8:40 like when I have kids and like a family,
8:43 I won't have all of this time to myself.
8:45 And that makes me feel especially appreciative
8:48 of the alone time that sometimes I feel lonely in.
8:51 And I try to remember that and like be grateful for the time
8:53 that I have to myself cuz I know forever that won't be the case.
8:57 Down the line, I'll probably eventually have a family
8:59 and be busier and just like won't have time like this.
9:02 So, I try to really be grateful for it.
9:04 And my mom always tells me that.
9:06 She's like, "Enjoy your time now cuz when you have kids,
9:09 you're going to never be alone again." And my mom is always right.
9:12 I've realized, [music] guys, I was just looking at tickets online.
9:15 I'm really wanting to see the movie Housemmaids because my mom told me
9:19 she really loved it and I just like haven't been able to go.
9:21 I haven't found a time.
9:22 Everyone's busy and I was just like, you know what?
9:25 Why don't I just go tonight?
9:26 Like I could easily go in like an hour and there's a showing.
9:29 So, I think I'm going to go to the movie theater by myself.
9:32 Sounds kind of fun.
9:33 Honestly, I did this once before and I enjoyed it.
9:37 There's a showing in an hour.
9:40 Exactly.
9:40 I mean, at this point, my roommate's gone.
9:43 My boyfriend's working this last minute.
9:45 Those are usually the only two people who can like go with me
9:47 to see something that last minute cuz
9:49 my other friends like live a little further.
9:50 So, I think I might just like go.
9:51 Why not?
9:52 You know, this is kind of crazy.
9:54 This is me.
9:55 This is my version of being spontaneous.
9:58 Booking a movie by myself at the theater.
10:00 Wow.
10:01 I bought the ticket.
10:02 So, I also bought popcorn and [music] a drink ahead of time.
10:05 So, I'm really I'm really like prepped for this.
10:08 Tonight's a leftover type of night because I
10:10 have them in my fridge and it's financially responsible.
10:14 I have sweet potato and chicken.
10:16 Probably throw together like a little salad or something.
10:19 And a salad I did indeed make.
10:21 Why am I talking like this?
10:22 I don't know.
10:22 If you guys watched my recent vlog, you know I've been hooked on this new
10:26 salad with my obsessive repeating [music] food personality.
10:29 I like to eat the same things.
10:31 And then I went to the movies, which was so fun.
10:34 I did not think it was going to be this fun to go by myself,
10:37 but I really enjoyed it.
10:38 And honestly, if you're watching this, please let this be
10:41 your sign to go to the movies by yourself.
10:42 I can't really explain why.
10:43 [music] What's so fun about it?
10:45 I don't know.
10:46 Something about it, it's kind of like weirdly comforting.
10:49 All right, guys.
10:49 I'm back home in my bed.
10:52 I have some thoughts.
10:54 I enjoyed going alone to the movies.
10:56 It's actually like the perfect most ideal activity to do
10:59 by yourself because you are just like watching something happen.
11:03 You don't need someone to converse with.
11:05 Yes, of course.
11:06 It is nice to debrief after the movie with someone.
11:09 I think that's what I'm missing right now.
11:10 I have no one to talk to about it.
11:12 So, that's why I'm talking to you guys.
11:14 If you haven't seen it yet, I would recommend you go see it.
11:17 I actually really liked it.
11:18 Anyways, I love you guys so much.
11:20 Thanks for spending the day with me.
11:22 We did some things that I don't usually do and I
11:24 think it's good to like break out of your routine sometimes,
11:27 especially when you're kind of in a rut.
11:29 So, maybe take this as your sign to do
11:31 that and try new things every once in a while.
11:33 I feel like it's so easy to get
11:34 comfortable in your everyday activities and your everyday spots.
11:37 So, I am going to put a link to the Coach
11:39 Brooklyn bag that I was wearing throughout this video in the description.
11:42 So, if you want to check it out, it's such a good bag.
11:45 Love you guys.
11:46 See you in my next vlog.
11:48 Bye.
