• Good morning, guys! Sid here, welcoming you back.
• I took a break last week, not thinking anyone would notice, but many of you did.
• I've been reflecting on loneliness and learning that being alone doesn't mean being lonely.
• Social media can impact our mental health; taking breaks is important.
• I've got a special giveaway for you guys to show my appreciation!
• It's time to relax, enjoy life, and connect with each other.

Good morning, guys, it's Sid. And welcome back. So let me explain. I didn't post last week and to be honest, I didn't think anyone would notice. But actually quite a few of you guys did.

And it was actually so sweet. Cause I was like, wow, it mattered to some of you. So thank you guys. The reason I didn't post is I was just in a slump last week when I was kind of in this lonely mental state.

I was thinking to myself, wow, like, you live alone, you're alone a lot of the time. That's so lonely. But then I realized being alone does not have to be synonymous with being lonely.

You could be alone and have such a good time with yourself. So I wanna take today to just have fun with myself and just do things that I really love to do.

I also feel like I'm kind of on FaceTime with you guys sometimes and it makes me feel less lonely. This is like how I talk with my friends. So we're gonna have a fun day together.

First things first, coffee. Let's go.

Okay, so I'm at the coffee shop and introduce yourself. Hi, I'm Eileen! And Eileen just like came up to me and was like, I watch your videos.

I was really awkward to come up, but no, you were so sweet. And you're from Amsterdam?

I live in Amsterdam, but I grew up in LA. Thanks for saying bye. You're literally so sweet. Thank you so much.

I decided to come outside. I love the employees in there. They're so nice. I'm kind of friends with them now. I wish I was friends with them, to be honest.

But they play Lana so loud and it's so fun. Like, I usually love it in there, but I just don't want to get copyrighted. Wow, it's just so awkward. I hate filming in public. I forgot that I hate it.

You guys know, like, filming in public is just hard for me. I'm trying.

One of the main reasons I think I wasn't feeling good last week—actually, I know this is why—is because I was just on social media so much. When I'm on it for extended periods of time, I just don't feel good.

I'm like not being productive. Sadly, I don't have self-control and I have to delete it to not go on it. So my mom also got me this book a couple months ago and I wanted to start it because one of my friends said it was really good too.

And I usually read I Love New York. I decided to come to this little cute neighborhood. I wanted to just read here for a little bit because it's quieter over here.

Not going on social media today has already just helped my mood be so much better. I'm eating my go-to snack recently. Actually, this has been my snack for like probably the past year.

I get these little thin pretzels from Trader Joe's and then I have some little baby carrots with some hummus. All three of these together is just a dream combo. You can tell I love this hummus.

I'm feeling a lot better today, honestly. I think just not being on social media is something that I really needed. It's so important to take breaks and I forget to do that sometimes.

Social media definitely, like, I think affects everyone differently because some of my friends aren't like me where they get kind of compulsively comparing to other people.

But when I'm just like on my phone for too long and I'm just scrolling endlessly, I feel like I compare everything about me to everyone else and then I feel bad about my own life when I shouldn't.

I have like such an amazing life. It's just like the trick that social media can play on your mind.

I've talked about this before, like if you guys watched my video three or four years ago, it was called Dear Teenage Girls and I talked about how I struggled with just comparing myself online to people because it's such a real thing.

And it's like just an important reminder, I guess, for me to get off my phone and just know that like, if you're ever feeling bad about yourself on social media, you're only seeing someone's highlight reels.

I know everyone always says this, but sometimes I need a reminder. So I'm actually kind of just saying this for myself too.

I think I'm gonna go actually to this bookstore. I've been wanting to try out new bookstores in New York because I feel like there's just so many of them.

Wow. I'm just like reading so much. I was reading in the beginning of this video. Now I'm going to a bookstore. We'll take the train there.

I love bookstores. There's a specific feeling that you get in a bookstore that you don't get anywhere else.

Guys, that was the coolest bookstore I think I've ever been in. It was so magical in there. But I didn't know that a lot of it was like acting playbook script type books.

So I didn't find anything when I was in there. But yeah, now I'm just sitting here on this bench romanticizing my life. Everyone's looking at me.

Wow, guys. I've been vlogging public so much today. Are you guys proud?

I'm scared right now. I'm at the grocery store because I need to get a few things for dinner. I got this new salad bowl, and it's making me want to make more salads.

I also got this milk. I usually don't even really drink, like, normal milk, but this is so good that I can't not. It's the little horizon strawberry milks.

Like I said, I got this new salad bowl. Even something as simple as this has been making me want to make more salads. So that's good for me. I've been making this Caesar salad with chicken.

That's kind of been my go-to growing up. My mom would always coat the chicken breast in egg and then breadcrumbs and flour. That's kind of what I like to do now, just because she taught me that way.

I also, like, can't cook without FaceTiming someone. Damn. Well, never mind. It's just you and us.

My salad is done, guys. Looks so small. Just because this bowl is so big. I'm so excited to eat this, guys. So good.

I promise, guys, if you get a big salad bowl like this, you're gonna love making salads like 10 times more. I got these at the grocery store.

This is the most random, impulsive purchase ever because I don't even like raisins.

Mom, look at the salad that I made. What? See what's in it? Chicken and vinaigrette and lettuce. Yeah. Did you make the chicken?

Yeah. Oh, my God. Wow.

Okay, guys. So it's actually two hours later. I ended up eating my salad. I don't know what came over me, but I just cleaned my entire apartment.

Like, I did a deep clean that I didn't think I was gonna do. And then once I got into it, I was like, I just can't stop. Like, I need to make it perfect. I really want at it.

And I really tried to clean my floors. My little kitchen area is all clean. I have a pimple, you guys. That, like, is starting right here.

I don't know if you guys can even see it that much, but it hurts. You know that those are the worst pimples when you can't really see it, but it just hurts.

It's marinating right now. And I know it's gonna be just this big. It's gonna be right on my face, basically.

Okay. So maybe it is more visible than I thought it was. Ooh, I am gonna do this Mario Badescu drying lotion. It's like one of the best things that I use for spot treatment.

Oh, but I don't have a Q-tip. Okay. I'm just gonna use these clean tweezers because I need to get to the bottom of this sediment.

Well, we did all we can do. Now we just go to bed and pray. So since I was just cleaning my apartment, I set aside a lot of PR that I've been collecting in a little pile over here.

You can see it in the corner right there. And I've actually been kind of collecting this pile for a while. I know some of you guys saw this a few vlogs ago.

I basically asked you guys where you would prefer me to have a giveaway if I should do it on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. And most of you guys said YouTube.

That's why I'm doing it on here. It feels right, you know? Like, YouTube is, at the end of the day, my home.

So I just have a few things that I wanted to give to you guys because you guys truly mean the world to me. I can't even express how much you guys mean to me. So this is just a little thank you.

And I'm so excited for one of you guys to get this stuff. I love these brands. They're truly the best. I just get so much PR sometimes that I don't have anything to do with it all.

By the way, this is all gonna be for one person. But the first thing is this. This is the YSL Black Opium perfume. I have this perfume already, and I love it.

You'll also be getting another YSL product. This one's not a perfume, though. This is their mascara, I'm pretty sure. Yes, this is their waterproof volumizing mascara.

And obviously, I haven't touched it. So okay. I'm starting to realize this is gonna be a lot of YSL products.

This one's so cool. These are their lipsticks. Definitely a variety of different shades in here, so we can try them out.

Ever since middle school, I've been a big Benefit girl, and these are two of my favorite products from them, the Hoola bronzer and the POREfessional.

And you'll get even more Benefit products because they sent me this. They collaborated with Scrub Daddy, which is actually genius. They have tons of skincare in there.

Some makeup remover, face masks, setting spray. So you'll be getting this. I almost forgot. You'll also be getting this from Benefit.

They have a mascara. I've been waiting to give you guys this. This has been sitting in the corner of my room for, like, honestly, not that long—probably like four weeks.

This is so heavy. This is a box just filled with Mario Badescu products. This is just so exciting because I'm just like, such a big fan of them and I use a lot of their products all the time.

Like you guys saw, I just used their drying lotion and I really want you guys to also experience them. If you haven't, this comes with so much. You're gonna get a lot, but I'll just show you guys a few of them.

It comes with the brightening eye serum, the same drying lotion that I just used, some pimple patches, their pore minimizer, an overnight mask, vitamin C cream, their facial spray, which is probably my favorite thing, a cleanser, basically an entire skincare routine.

So, yeah, if you guys want to enter, what should you do? I didn't even think this far, honestly.

Comment below three things you're grateful for can be short, long, it doesn't matter.

And if you want a bonus entry, follow me on Instagram. Just make sure to put your Instagram username in your YouTube comment. It's gonna be international, so anyone can enter.

Anyways, I think I'm gonna go to bed because it's 11:13 PM but I love you guys so much. Thank you for everything, and thanks for watching and I'll see you in my next vlog. Bye, guys.
