In case you've ever wondered what I eat in a day [so thrilling] here it is! This is on a day when I'm working / editing from home. This doesn't happen very often bc my schedule is all over the place but if I am at home for the whole day, this is usually how it looks. Give this video a thumbs up if you like it!

hey guys! Today's video is a what I eat in a day video. I really like watching these videos on other channels [they're weirdly fascinating?] so I decided to make one of my own. Not gonna lie- on a typical day- I don't have a typical day. I'm usually on set or at meetings or rushing around, so on the few days I do get to just work from home, this is what it looks like.
I've always had stomach issues my whole life- ever since I was a little kid [I would literally cry when my mom would make me eat breakfast] so I don't usually eat a full breakfast [unless it's the weekend, and I'm coming from spin class, because then BRUNCH IS MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY!]
If you've followed me for awhile, you know that I LOVE black coffee. I had to give it up when my ulcer came back over november [why I didn't do vlogmas] and have cut myself down to at max 1 cup of iced coffee a day [at max- if I drink coffee at all, it's one iced coffee] You know this is hard for me bc I used to order french presses of black coffee. The sadness.
Also, this video is 100% honest with you guys in that I have to remind myself to eat when I'm working. I actually really enjoy eating- going out to eat is one of my favorite things. I love cooking / going out to eat etc when I have time to enjoy it. But during work days I get so caught up in what I'm doing that I won't stop until I'm finished / I'll wake up six hours later and be like 'omg Im so hungry NEED FOOD'. I'm not saying this is smart or healthy, this is just real talk [someone send me a mom asap].
WHAT I EAT IN A DAY:
Breakfast:
Iced coffee, lemon water + croissant
Lunch:
Falafel + Hummus wrap
Sometimes: Watermelon / Basil / Feta / Balsamic Salad [try it yasss]
Dinner:
Brussel Sprouts + Rosemary Salmon
Snacks [if I must]
Apple + Peanut Butter
Almonds + Dried cranberries
Let me know if you guys enjoyed this [very honest] what I eat in a day video by giving the video a thumbs up and leaving me a comment! xx

Todays video is kind of an emotional vlog!
This video is my first pregnancy vlog. I filmed this video at 10 weeks pregnant, and wanted to share with you guys my pregnancy experience. Thought I would share with you all of my pregnancy must haves this week: pregnancy cravings, apps, books, how Im taking bump photos, etc.
Around 7 weeks I also found a lump in my breast. The doctor couldnt get us in for an ultrasound for over a month, so we found somewhere else that could do it. We hadnt made our pregnancy announcement by the time I had found the lump / was going in to get the breast biopsy, so it was so hard to not tell you guys what was going on and why I was missing a week of posting videos. It was on the most emotionally changing times in my life- there were days that I honestly wasnt sure if I would be able to handle everything that was going on. Im so grateful that we found a doctors office who could get us in and do the ultrasound and biopsy.
Let me know if you enjoy watching these pregnancy vlogs by giving the video a thumbs up and by commenting down below. I would also love to hear your stories if youve gone through anything similar, have been pregnant or are currently pregnant!

Hey guys! Today’s video is all about the end of the search for our dream home!! We were living in California last year when we found out that Cody got into the law school he wanted to transfer to and we had 2 weeks to move to Chicago. Cody had recently sold his condo in Chicago, so we quickly found a rental place we could move into. Now that we know we will be in the Chicago area for the next few years, we started to look into buying a home. Today’s video is all about how we FOUND our dream home- and we bought a house!!
In our last house hunting vlogs, we were looking at 2 bedroom condos in the city. Since finding out Im pregnant and that were expecting a new baby in the fall, our strategy hanged a little bit! We were looking at bigger houses that can fit our growing family for years to come. We want something that was big enough for our family, as well as if either of our families want to come over and stay with us. We think we found it!
We ended up buying house #2 from our last house hunting video- sort of. Were going with a building company that has set floor plans you can choose from [so not totally custom- were not designing the layout or the windows etc] but we can fully design all of the finishes in the interior- the kitchen, the floors, the finishes, the paint, the hardware, etc. Were getting to build our dream home and watch it from the start to finish! As of now, our new home should be done by mid September.

Our gender reveal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKtuwtERsWY
On October 20th, 2018, we had a baby girl! This video is a vlog from the start of my 37th week of pregnancy- I thought I was just filming another update vlog without knowing that in a few days I would be induced 3 weeks early due to gestational hypertension. So this video turned into a labor and delivery vlog / birth vlog!
I will be filming a separate labor and delivery story / birth story video about the whole experience-[ I was induced due to hypertension and spent 32 hours in labor, had failed epidurals, etc] but this video is just sharing the first moments with our daughter!
We were not expecting to deliver at 37 weeks! We found out at 36 weeks pregnant that I had high blood pressure and I was put on bi weekly monitoring / was coming in for extra monitoring and appointments to make sure it wasnt rising or developing into preeclampsia. We just moved into our new house a few weeks earlier, and we were still working on getting the house ready for baby [decorating the nursery, setting up the baby essentials, etc] so we were put into overdrive getting everything ready for baby when we found out there was a chance I might deliver early!
A lot of you guys have been requesting more vlogs with my family [my old vlog watchers!!] so this video is also for you :) Made sure to film with my family when they came to help us get the nursery ready!
Thank you guys so much for all of your love and support during my pregnancy- I truly appreciated all of your sweet comments, your instagram DMs, your recommendations, etc. Im so thankful to have this community of friends that I can share these experiences with!
I will still be posting videos now that weve had our baby girl- they might just be a little less frequently now that Im getting into the swing of being home with her [hence why this is going up on a Friday vs a thursday- had my hands a little tied so editing went slower than usual!] thank you for understanding and please let me know if you have any requests for baby related videos!
Make sure to follow me on Instagram [@carlycristman] if youd like to see more baby updates- I share pictures and videos of her on stories regularly! WE HAD A BABY GIRL! Labor, Delivery + Birth Vlog](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tMahzcz8cn4/mqdefault.jpg)

Hey guys! Todays video is all about how to only pack a carry on / how to pack a suitcase! Im sharing with you how to pack like a pro and get the MOST in the LEAST amount of space! These are the best packing tips Ive learned over my years of constant traveling! Theyll help with travel anxiety, help you be more organized and help you pack less!
Traveling can be stressful when you feel like youre living out of a suitcase. These are my best packing tips to feel more organized + less stressed. These are my travel essentials when Im packing and how I pack the most into small spaces!
These are the actual tips I use to pack my suitcase / how I only pack a carry on when I travel.
1. PACKING CUBES
Packing cubes have changed my life! I use them for clothing organization and storage. They save so much space and keep me organized! This way you can pack MORE clothes in smaller spaces!
The packing cubes I use: https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=447401400&pid=uid1729-31243473-11
2. COMPARTMENTS
I use smaller bags to separate the rest of my suitcase. This saves time and space! You can pack more into the smaller bags / fit them in more places in the suitcase and also your bag is so much more organized when you are traveling / going through TSA etc. Youll never have to deal with repacking all of your stuff again!
3. GROUP BY FUNCTION
I separate my compartments by function. I have a bag just for skincare, a bag for toiletries, a bag for makeup and makeup brushes, a bag for my technology [phone charger, camera, usb cords, etc]. This way I ALWAYS know where everything is and Im never searching through my suitcase or stressed. This way I can also grab a bag and quickly get ready!
4. MAXIMIZE YOUR PERSONAL ITEM
Youre allowed a carry on and a personal item, but this doesnt have to be just a purse. You can actually bring a duffel bag as your personal item which gives you WAY more space to pack into! Ill pack my laptop in here and accessories like hats etc.
5. PURSE INCEPTION
I pack my smaller purse inside of my duffel bag and then I will fill that purse as well. Ill put the stuff I actually want on me during the flight- a phone charger, headphones etc- and then i can just take this out when I get on the plane and wear that.
6. PACK AN EMPTY BAG
I do this if Im going on vacation or a longer trip. Ill pack an empty bag [beach bag, neverfull] on top of the stuff in my suit case / laying flat on top. This way you can have this bag to use during your trip!
7. PACK OUTFITS NOT OPTIONS
We tend to want to pack options during a trip, but this takes up so much room in your suitcase! I pack specific outfits for occasions and then Ill also pack an extra outfit or two for in case I want to feel more comfortable. This way I have any type of outfit for how I want to feel, not a ton of options to create the look. Ill usually pack the outfits I know Ill wear, and then throw in an extra comfy shirt or leggings to wear if I want to chill.
8. STICK TO A COLOR PALETTE
Sticking to a color palette ensures that you can wear more of your pieces together. You can bring less when everything matches!
9. MIX AND MATCH PIECES
I pack pieces that go well with each other so I can bring less. Ill usually pack only 2 pairs of shoes and then my dressier option can go with all of my outfits. Ill pack one pair of leggings and then tops that go with all of these leggings, etc. Pack things that pair well with the rest of your stuff!
10. WEAR YOUR HEAVIEST LAYERS
I wear the heaviest layers on the flight with me. Sweatpants, a jacket, gym shoes- things I know Ill want to have during the trip, but take up a ton of room in a carry on. Im also cold on flights so this is perfect for what to wear on a flight!
11. ELIMINATE WHAT YOU CAN
I tend to plan my looks to be similar so I dont need to pack every single hair tool, Ill pack only a curling iron or a straightener. I wont pack a blow dryer because hotels have one. If Im going to my parents house I wont pack pajamas because they have extra clothes for me. Try to eliminate what you can!
