Okay guys, we made it to Stars Hollow, not actually Stars Hollow, but where they filmed the very first episode of Gilmore Girls moving to Toronto. I always wanted to come here and we just did a little drive-thru. It took about 15 seconds and it looks a bit scary. It's not that it's scary. There's just like one store.

TikTok made it seem like it was like this cute little town, but we're passing skyscrapers probably two minutes ago. So I don't really know what happened to Gilmore Girls.

There's construction everywhere.

There is. Let me show you guys. We'll try to make the most of it because you know what? It is kind of cute. Look at the trees. Like it's kind of fall vibes.

Like this one's really pretty. The homes are really cute. The people who live here, this general store behind us, there is a coffee shop, and then everything else is like, like we just got to the end of the road and it took two seconds. So I don't think we're gonna be here that long, but I wanna show and have a good Gilmore Girls day. I'm gonna go sit in the gazebo

and I'm gonna go to all the spots that they filmed in the very first episode. Okay, so this is like, I don't think this is part of the show I think this has been here for a while but it's like a restaurant I think it is cute like this home is really cute let's go what's the first stop okay I guess we're going right into it the gazebo gazebo here take a picture of me at the Gilmore Girls gazebo I don't

think this is I'm team Jess. I like Jess the best. I know he's a little bit toxic, but when he comes back later in life

He's actually he's my favorite

He's fine shit They said there's a really scenic pond. That's definitely the pond Okay, um, so this used to be the Gilmore Girls sign and they just it actually still said Unionville on it They just put flowers over it and then they put whatever this was in here and then they put What was it called? Stars hollow? Yeah. Okay, take a picture of me in front of the stars hollow sign in front of the

They spell pilates wrong

Yay nice, okay, let's keep going. I believe the town hall. Oh this? Yeah

Okay, what is this the train station? I don't remember that in the show.

There's a lot of construction going on.

We're trying to find Luke's diner.

It's down there, you know, we passed it.

Oh, wait, I don't think this is going to lead anywhere.

Okay, let's just keep going. We have to go. We drove all this way. Okay, was this the dragonfly inn?

Okay, we're gonna get some, wait, is this it?

It's cute here.

So we got affogatos, like pumpkin spice affogatos. Is this how they're supposed to look? The picture didn't look like that.

No.

You've gotten them before?

Yes.

Oh, well, I wouldn't have known any better. Okay, Gilmore Girls, we're leaving. Um, I don't know if we just did this wrong.

Let's see.

I don't think we went to the right place. No, we went to the right place. TikTok, it did look like this, but also this video is from a year ago. This is my favorite. Like, what are they covering? What's danger? What's here? This was an old mill, but I don't think this is part of Gilmore Girls. I wanted to go into the firehouse.

Well, never again.

Time to go. Okay guys, I'm gonna take a little road trip today. Just waiting for my cousin to get in the car. I am going to the U.S. to do some fall shopping. Um, I have never been to Trader Joe's in the fall, but I've been seeing it all over TikTok that there's so many amazing like pumpkin things. Like, it's like a pumpkin ravioli or something. I don't know, everything is just pumpkin and I want to bring it all. I'm bringing a freaking cooler. I'm going to go to Target. What else?

Barnes and Nobles, probably Chili's for lunch. Like, I don't know. Americans, you guys have like the best food there, but also most unhealthy food. I'm just excited because I never do this. I don't think I'll show you guys what I get. Okay I don't have a set Dunkin order because we don't have it here but this is what I got. Okay and then I got this food. This is new I

think I've never heard of this before it's a loaded chipotle bowl. Obviously I have to get avocado toast. I cannot believe that they have so much Disney here.

I don't like that I can't smell it, but

they better have the calico critter blind bags. That's the only reason why I'm here.

They didn't have the freaking blind bags, but chilis. I've never been here. Actually,

no, I haven't been here. Guys, I freaking love chilies. These chips were so good and it was cheap

Going a little bit crazy at Target. This is kind of expensive here though. I didn't realize how much it was I Spent too much

Okay, guys.

I'm tired.

Got pizza and maybe you're being so annoying.

Okay.

Why are you saying that?

Okay, I'm back.

That's not pretty.

Dude.

Guys, this is why I went to Target. I fricking found it on my way out. It's the pumpkin spice tree hut sugar scrub. Yeah, it's like an exfoliant. This Tazo Passion Tea. I haven't seen that here. We're only gonna try one.

So that looks good.

Just some command strips cause I got some stuff to hang up.

Wait, you just really walked in there and just got everything you could.

I feel like this is like,

it's just so funny cause it's just super normal stuff for anyone in the US.

I know, I know. the iced tea I picked stuff up for Claire's that's for her and then I got this for our gallery wall. It's a horse painting cuz I am a horse girl Here look at these ones so this one is a strawberry dream one and then this one smells like coconut it's a body wash Yes, cuz Martin using my body wash It smells good it smells like coconut it smells really good i got these frozen strawberries oh my god they didn't put it in the frozen thing god damn it i have a whole frozen bag i have to put these in the freezer right away okay seriously what's it called true yeah put the true fruit

in the freezer you can only get these in the states, I'm pretty sure. I usually get the ranch ones with the honey mustard. You're overstimulating me.

Okay, I'm trying to go quick.

I'm trying to go quick.

I feel like I'm watching a million different ads.

You know, I'm reading the Pumpkin Spice Cafe. They have a Christmas one, the Gingerbread Bookstore. Oh wait, bakery.

Gingerbread bakery.

So this is like a smut book disguised the pumpkin spice cafes like she like puts a gourd up her ass or something

no i was messing with you because you think i would steal that

that was a joke?

that was a joke

wait i think i because you told me right before i went to bed you told me right before i went to bed so i actually dreamed and i thought it was a real and i was like i can't believe they make stories about someone shoving gourds up their ass yeah and i had this whole like conspiracy theory like that these books are actually like, they make them look all innocent, but inside like girls love it because it's like.

I'm almost done with the pumpkin spice.

Like this actually hooks up with the gingerbread man.

I don't think that's what happens. Just got some hair stuff. I got, I don't know, I haven't seen this here. I got this free at Sephora with my points. Oh, I got them treats too. I actually didn't get the dogs anything. Ooh, sorry guys.

Aw, that's sad.

Oh, I'm sorry baby Rue, I didn't know.

Look at these, these look so good.

I don't know. Snack club watermelon rings? Oh, you really got everything.

I know, Martin, I got so much.

I actually can't.

What the hell?

Okay, look what I found for my coffee, brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin spice syrup. Yeah, nice. Fish, you see that?

$7.

This is my Sephora stuff. Wait, I got this one, this pumpkin spice touch land sanitizer. And then I got two for Claire. And then I got this caramel body spray from Sephora.

Nice. Very good.

Don't worry.

Wait, hold up.

Move for a second.

Dang. Dang.

Ew.

I swear, I actually didn't spend that much.

Like everything was all on sale.

Yeah, this looks like a lot.

No, a lot of things were on sale, but most were the groceries.

I got these towels, one for me and you, because they're cute and pink, and they were $5 each.

I'm not using that.

Yes, you are. That's not true because you begged me to get these pink sheets for our bed So I got these two for $5, they're very soft

I feel like we always need bath towels

But how come you get to decorate the house how you want it? I don't get to have my boy stuff

You have a room up there. Remember you get the little bedroom up there a little tiny room in the corner of the house

Look at this blanket. I got it for $15. There's cats on it. It's cute. You're just replacing the stuff that I got from home sense

Anytime I try to jump into the home decor remember it's my house, too

Okay, look how cute this is. I know we're very late to it Eddie is 11 months old, but it was $5 and it's like our first year together and it's so cute You just write your memories with your puppy and I want to have to fill it out. It's like one year together. And then it's like 11 months together. Yeah, I remember when you peed in the house.

That's gonna be the whole book is him peeing.

Our first days, I'll always treasure.

It is so cute.

I can't wait to fill this out and put pictures.

With Rudy and Eddie.

It's just, well, unfortunately Rudy's almost six.

Wait, so it's just Eddie?

Can we use it? so much and it's our favorite memories our first car ride. Wiggly bum. Remember Nala stomps? You

know Nala stomps? No who's that? You don't know Nala stomps? The dog that freaking stomps? Hold this this is what it Nala stomps he like pets her like this and she goes

oh okay stop doing that don't do that ever again. Okay guys we might be doing something that some of you may say you're crazy you're dumb you're stupid but it could also be a really good thing so for the last honestly before even got Eddie I have always wanted a girl animal I was like we have so many boys and just ends up like always the ones that were available or like the last like for Carl the last one of the litter fish was last one of the litter they're boys and Rudy I thought he was a girl when I went to go see him.

And Eddie, well, he did have a sister, but he looked like Rudy, so I had to get Eddie. Anyway, besides the point, I've always wanted a girl animal. I love that I've always grown up with girl animals. I never really had boy animals. And we love Carl so much.

Carl is the funniest, most entertaining cat I've ever met. And he's just so amazing. We got him from a really amazing breeder and Martin's allergic to cats, so we had to get something that was low shedding hypoallergenic. So that's how we ended up with the Cornish Rex. And we just fell in love with the breed after fish.

Then we get Carl and Carl is so, so cute. Everybody loves Carl. Carl's my favorite. Are you a Carl bias. I'm a Carl bias and a Rudy bias and an Eddie and a fish bias, but oh my God, I'm getting distracted here. So when I told Martin, I was like, I want another cat. He's like, girl, what are you talking about?

And I was like, no, but like, I want another Carl. And he's like, me too, I love Carl. We want, like, we always joke and say, Carl, we wanna take you and like, put you in a machine and multiply you by like 100. We want 100 Carls running around because eventually we want to have like a farm. And we just want so many cats and like dogs and have our chickens, horses, everything.

But we love Carl so much. We're like, we wish there was another Carl. So we've, I've just been like casually looking for a Cornish Rex or like again. I just, it's too much. And I was like, you know what, how about I reach out to Carl's breeder and see if, you know what, they maybe have one of their breeding females or one of their cats getting rid of, or they know anyone that's getting rid of a cat,

or if they even have upcoming litters, or maybe have any kittens that were left over from previous litters. And she gets back to me and she was like, Oh, that's so funny. I was actually just about to post an ad because if you remember from Carl's litter, we kept one of the females to breed her. So we ended up breeding her. She only got pregnant once and she had one kitten that was born like fully deaf. So they spayed her and decided they don't want to breed her again.

And this breeder is actually going to be retiring. So she's rehoming this cat. I don't know if she still has that kitten or any of her other cats But she's getting out of the hobby and she's like do you want to come see her? And I'm like, oh my god Martin. This is so amazing. It's literally Carl's full-blood sister They were born on the same day. I want to say they're from the same exact litter It's not just like another from another litter. It's his sister from that litter. So I'm gonna go see her tomorrow. Martin's busy. I'm gonna have to go FaceTime him while I'm there. But sending me alone to go look at a cat, not a good idea. He's like, Mandy,

the fact that you're already driving there, you know you're coming home with a cat. So I don't know. Anyway, all this is saying, I'm in the pethour drive, I would hope I'd come home with a cat But obviously I want to ask questions make sure she's gonna get along with our family because she's two years old and you know That was Martin is worried about her being set in her ways and not being able to Integrate her into our family, but I think it'll be okay from what the breeder said She seems to have a good personality, but we'll see and hopefully I could finally get my daughter So much here and hopefully I can finally get my daughter. Getting some pink toys. What else?

There's so much here. Okay, this bed's like $11. And then what else did I get? I got that bowl, some modular baths, and then our cats and stuff. Okay guys, I'm leaving.

I'm gonna go see the cat. And Marie keeps like, you're always gonna go get the cat, but no, I really really really want to make sure she meshes well with ours because we already have four pets And I think a fifth might be a little bit difficult So I really want to see how her personality is first

Okay

Her name well her breed her name is Cala Coco or Callie Coco, but I think we're gonna

change that.

Hi!

She's just smelling him, keeping her in my room for now. Everyone's outside the door. This is Carl's favorite spot, so she's probably smelling him. That's your brother, your real brother.

Hi, Callie.

I feel like maybe we'll keep Callie.

I'm not sure, I have a whole list of names picked out, but. Date night!

Doing my makeup.

Do I look good?

Yeah, you look great, but who looks better?

Me. Because I just put on my cashmere sweater. Nice. I haven't gotten dressed yet, so. Cashmere sweater, Martin, is different.

It is. I'm surprised you pulled this out, but it's chilly tonight, so.

Yeah, it's a little chill.

It's a nice, crispy fall evening.

It is. I'm surprised you pulled this out, but it's chilly tonight. So yeah, it's a little chill. It's a nice crispy fall evening.

It is. I love it.

You want to bust out the cashmere for those fall evenings, and you want to bust out that girlfriend for... Fiancee.

Dang it.

Every time, every time. It's just hard to... I think it's because it's such a serious word. It's like not in my vocabulary yet. So I'm going to try to make it part of my vocabulary by practicing in the mirror every day. My fiance, my fiance, I love my fiance. My fiance is the best.

My fiance is the most beautiful fiance in the entire world.

Thank you.

I'm going to do that and yeah. Ooh, but I do look good though, damn. Yeah, you do. It's just like... It fits you nice now. I know, I know. I'm filling it in. It's really nice. And I'm excited for our first kind of date in a while.

I haven't been on a date with you in a while.

We haven't been on a date in so long. I think since we got engaged.

It was like, even before that, it was like, we don't really go on a date. change things up here and I need to take you out on more dates that's more dates more time on our

own away from the because guys we're a family wait you're a father of five I'm a father of five I have a daughter and four sons did you ever think you would get to this point like I actually

have an animal lover than me yeah I never thought I'd be in this position but honestly I wouldn't have it any other way I love these little rascals um these little critters that we have I'm an animal lover than me. Yeah, I never thought I'd be in this position, but honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love these little rascals, these little critters that we have, I'm really proud of us. And, you know, especially mom here,

pushing them all out of your noo-noo.

My noo-noo?

No, they came out of my belly button. Like little jelly beans. This, we finally named her. Yeah, you know we're talking about you. This is Gwen.

Hi, Gwen!

Oh, she's so cute!

Gwen, my little girl. Oh, my beautiful little girl.

I love you so much, Gwen.

Okay, enough harassment.

She needs to get used to that, okay? Because that's how we treat them around here.

You're a baby girl!

You're a baby girl, even though you're the same age. You gotta get used to us, okay Gwen? My little Gweny.

Try that one.

Good? Yeah. Good? Hi. Meow. Meow.

Hi guys, do you like your sister?

Hi!

You like the sun?

You watching them?

Yeah.

You are mean. Oh my god, Carl, you cannot sit on her.

Carl?

Carl, get off!

Are you okay, Gwen?

Carl, come on, what are you doing?

What is this?

I don't think there's enough room up there, Carl. I know that was your flower, but now it's her flower too. You're being a good girl, Gwen.

Good boy, Carl.

Hi. Oh, hi.

Carl just wants to hang out. You're kind of big for that bed. And just wants to be close to his sister because I think he knows. This is the nicest he has been to meeting a new cat. He was not this nice to Red and Blue. He was hiding but he hasn't hid at all.

Wants to hang out with her. And yeah, she doesn't really like this guy.

She likes Rue. Guys, we just walked in and our fucking ceiling is leaking.

Not good. Not good.

I don't know if you're supposed to do that. This might be a bad idea.

I see people do it.

Martin, you're like digging into the ceiling.

You're not just poking a hole.

Yeah, well regardless,

someone has to come in and patch this up regardless. It was already broken, breaking because of the water.

This is insane. It was like flooded all over.

It's not good.

Oh.

Carl, go away.

Oh, it went back off.

Ew.

Is that my bath water?

This is your bath water.

How much water is in there? I need to know how much there is.

Wait, ew, why is it fucking yellow?

Because it's like sealing water.

Okay guys, I'm going to be going through a lot of my fall stuff. And I do this in the spring and fall because it kind of groups spring, summer, close together and fall and winter together. So I don't really buy new winter wardrobe, but every season my body changes.

Every year as I get older, I've realized the stuff from the previous season doesn't fit. So I wanna go through stuff and some of the stuff I still have tags on because I didn't get to wear it. I bought it end of the season and I wanna see what I don't like

because I actually really haven't touched any of this stuff. I don't like because I actually really haven't touched any of this stuff. I don't know. I kind of put like all my sweaters here and then I have like hoodies and stuff in the other room, but let me see what I want to keep. And then I bought these cute pink hangers. I'll give Martin the blue ones

because I get the pink ones are cuter. I bought this from Brandy. I've never worn it. I don't know, like, it's not really me. What do you think? This isn't even fall. I don't know what that's doing in there, but it is pretty. I mean, for those who know, you know where this is from.

But I'm trying to see how I could, what can I pair this with? It is a very pretty shirt. I don't know, I've never worn it since that shoot. I'm trying to get Martin to go through his closet because there's a lot in here that I want gone. This I bought in the winter. I think I got it on like boxing day. It's an off the shoulder knit sweater. It is very pretty but it doesn't stay off the shoulder. I think I might have to donate this one. Oh,

it's so sad it's from Ritzy. I thought it was so pretty. Maybe I should be trying on. Let me try stuff on. The one thing about off the shoulder, you have to stand like this and that's just not realistic. Like if I was going out, doing stuff, I was eating, like I am so restricted. Maybe it just doesn't fit but I don't know. It's such a pretty color. But I think this one has to go. This shirt I do really like,

but unfortunately I did shrink it in the wash. It is, I tried it on the other day, so I don't need to try this one on. This one is going to the donate pile. Okay, this, I've had this for so long. This is such a good basic, I might keep that. This cardigan, I really like. I got this last, I think I got this when I was in New York

in November for our anniversary. I really like this one, I'm gonna keep that. I do love cardigans, I have so many freaking cardigans.

I need to stop on that.

I just bought another one the other day too. This is honestly more summery. I bought this when I was in Florida, of like a beach cover up. So I might put this one away for the season because I think the coloring as well, but I really like it. It's a cute little like, it's just cute over a little dress

or a tube top and a skirt. I'm gonna keep this one as well. Probably gonna keep every single cardigan I have in here. Another gray cardigan. This one I'm kind of iffy about just because it's shrunk a little bit in the wash.

I probably shouldn't have washed it. Do you guys, do you wash your like sweaters or anything? Like I do and I keep it, they always fricking shrink. Even if I wash on cold, I just find every time I put it in, it like, I don't know, I can't wear it again, but I think I'll keep this one as well. This, I literally just bought yesterday, the new cardigan.

I love the brown, this one's perfect for fall,

I can't wait to wear that,

but it's still freaking hot here. This is a beach coverup, so we're gonna put that away for the season. And honestly, I don't know why I bought this, it was on sale for like $5, but just not me.

So, donate.

I love the red. I really do, but I'm pretty sure this will hold on this one if I remember from last winter,

I would wear this all the time. Hmm, maybe I'll keep this.

I think with like boots and then a skirt,

it'd be cute and fall.

This is my favorite top. I have two of them and honestly, I wish I keep this, I think with like boots and then a skirt, it'd be cute and fall. This is my favorite top. I have two of them and honestly, I wish I bought more, but yeah, I was in Florida when I got them and it's from Intimacy. It's like a cashmere, wait, is that the material?

I think it's cashmere.

Almost like, it's pretty much see-through top, but they're so pretty, so flattering. I think I'll order more but I was just at the mall in Florida and I didn't even know they had a store there and so I picked up this and I also have a cream one and then I got Claire a black one. I think I'll order the black one and maybe like a navy, I think it'd be cute because I wear these all the time. They This is a little bit like for spring and I did wear this in Florida as well. I got so many cardigans in Florida, I have no idea why.

But I do like wearing it like with some linen pants. It's really cute in the fall. Another one, another knit sweater. Where's this one from? Oh, this is from Arden. I think it's Canadian, but I was shocked when I found this.

It's so nice. I love it again with the skirt and some boots, some tights. I love that one. Another Brandy long sleeve.

I do like this one.

I'll keep that.

I think that is it for my long sleeves. I'm probably gonna do one more, like run through them to see what I actually want and then decide what I need for the season. I'm trying to build more of like a capsule wardrobe because I hate having to buy new things.

But the only reason I really do is if things don't fit or unfortunately I destroyed it in the washer because I don't know why I have been living alone for like five years now almost. And I still can't figure out how to wash clothes properly. Built this for them.

It took actually longer than it should have. But look at this guy. He can't be laying on the ground anymore. I know you like the sun, but he's a little bit big. I hope he fits in that. I did get the biggest one. You want to go with sun tan, Carl? Wow. How is it? Wow, Carl. Do you like it? Now, you are a little bit heavy, so I'm gonna be really, really sad if it breaks. Do you wanna go with him, fish? Guys, my fiance just agreed to take me to an unlimited shopping spree.

How nice is that?

You are in, you think you're so funny.

What?

Come on, let's go.

An infinite shopping spree?

An unlimited shopping spree. Do you know- No budget.

Do you know if that was true how much you you would take advantage of that so hard you wouldn't even stop

No, well, that's what unlimited means. No, you would have to I

Guess but see if you did that to me, I would be like, okay, this is too much money So, um, so I would say that's okay

No, you would come with me and ask for like you would ask for like fucking $2,000 fuzzy boots So I wouldn't ask that I just for like a $25 shirt. But anyway, yeah, I'm trying to get new fall clothes. I Went in knew what I was looking for and I freaking got it This black leather skirt was a yes Martin really liked it And then the second one was an absolute no that That shape was just not it, not flattering at all. And this is my favorite denim skirt I have ever tried on. I love it, can't wait to wear it.

Okay, go on, try some on. All right, so Martin said these jeans were too tight. He actually ordered them in a bigger size and they're called Martin jeans, so it was perfect for him. So this is one of the shirts I ended up getting. It's kind of like a sheer polka dot shirt.

I got this like Heather Gray one. It's a thicker material. It is a little bit sheer, but not as much as the intimacy ones. It's a thicker material. It is a little bit sheer, but not as much as the intimacy ones. This cute little tie cardigan and then I got the brown knit cardigan. Okay, and I ended up getting these three skirts. I have this in the brown leather,

but Martin liked the black and you know, I think it just goes with more and then I got the denim skirt. Hi Rudy. And yeah, so I just wanted to get a little refresh, a new wardrobe, not totally, and I'm not saying that everyone has to go out and freaking buy a new wardrobe this fall. I just came to a realization,

and this is a very popular saying, and I've probably said a million times, and it's probably hard to believe telling this yourself, but you are not meant to fit clothes. Clothes are meant to fit you. So in other words, you don't have to stress,

you don't have to worry about not fitting into your last season's clothes or last year's clothes. That's fine, you are allowed to change. I'm trying to, I'm saying this stuff to you guys because I'm trying to believe it myself and it's so hard to, but in your 20s,

at least from what I'm experiencing, you hit that second puberty and everything just changes and I'm changing so much and I'm trying to stay healthy. I'm trying to go to the gym, I'm trying to eat better, but I want to feel better with the way I look and the way I feel.

So for me, that starts with getting clothes that I feel comfortable in. And I don't care that I had to go up a size or two or three or four or five. I don't care. Honestly, as long as I feel comfortable

and I think I look good, you guys should remind yourself this as well. So all that to say, I'm happy with my fall wardrobe and I can't wait till it actually gets cold so I can wear these pieces and do some really cute fall things

because I've a lot planned this fall. Because of course, it's my favorite season. Because of course, it's my favorite season. Bye guys.
