How is it already Valentine’s Day?! I swear the weeks are flying here. I’m finally settled into a routine and my second semester schedule is feeling a little more manageable these days. I was able to finally get back on my workout grind, spend some time with friends, and get all kinds of blog work done. And *shockingly enough* I even managed to sit and do a little bit of noting this week. It was quite refreshing to say the least.
I’ve got a busy week ahead and a big snow storm headed our way tomorrow! Nothing makes me want to curl up and watch a movie more, lol. Perhaps that will be tonight’s Valentine’s Day plans instead. Whether you’re celebrating alone or with a significant other I hope you make the most of today. I love you all so much!
With love, McKenz

There’s no better feeling then reaching a YouTube milestone surrounded by your best friends! Celebrating 40K subscribers this week and feeling so loved. So grateful for all of your sweet words and support—road to 50,000 here we come! Of course, this week’s vlog is packed full of other fun stuff too—trying the Tik Tok pasta, sharing my at home workouts, hanging some apartment decor with Mike, completing some school assignments, and hanging with my crazy girls. It’s a long one just as you requested!
Sunday, February 7
The sweetest Sunday treat was waking up to 40,000 YouTube subscribers. I was struggling with growth in November/December but 2021 has really started off with a bang for me. I could not be more grateful and am so appreciative of the sweet messages and DMs I got from both my followers and friends today. Couldn’t do it without y’all!

This was hands down the craziest work day ever. I did all the things today: blog post published, YouTube video edited, Cupshe haul filmed, try-on sessions recorded, podcast interview complete, packages unboxed. Mike picked me up and we headed to Rays for dinner then back to my place to hang up some new prints from Desenio. It was a full day and a good one at that.

My Tuesdays are reserved solely for school work these days. After a morning workout I spent hours listening to lectures and completing assignments for the week. Had my littles over for taco night and filmed a q&a together afterward! It’ll go live to YouTube on Monday.

Had myself another crazy busy work day. I’ve been speaking on so many podcasts lately/interviewing for lots of college projects and it brings me so much joy! Got a blog post + YouTube video live and then attempted the “Tik Tok pasta” for dinner. Had my girls over and we celebrated 40K subscribers with some sweet treats! I love this support system more than anything and am feeling so full tonight.

Another day dedicated to school work. I had quite the stack of assignments to complete today as well as a project for my Fashion Apparel Annalysis class. Managed to get it all done and enjoyed a chill night in catching up with my YouTube bestie, Devon and doing a few loads of laundry.

Nothing worse than an 8 am class on Fridays! I find it so hard to get up and ready for the day despite class being online. I finished up all of my homework for the weekend and then got working on my usual Friday uploads. Went to Bellaria for dinner tonight and had the yummiest chicken alfredo!

It’s been so long since I had a true lazy day. Spent much of my day cozied up in bed watching All American and editing today’s college week in my life. My little dragged me out of bed for a little Galentine’s celebration with some of our sorority sisters tonight and it was a blast!
