Destiny's alarm went off and the first thing she did was grab her vlog camera, knowing that Sunday was no better of a day for her to get back into the grind of things. She popped in a charged battery and turned on the camera, immediately feeling at home.
"Hey y'all welcome or welcome back to the vlog." She said smiling at the camera, she had the same intro for as long as she could remember and truthfully at the beginning, her channel was a mess. But she had now developed an aesthetic and niche that was so perfect, it had spread all across the internet.
Destiny sighed and walked to her kitchen all while updating her not so little community that watched her. "I know I've been lacking on all my platforms I'm sorry but I'm back! Just wait because I have so much stuff planned for us to do this summer, I'm telling y'all. We're going clubbing, out for drinks, traveling and eating good. But before we do all that we gotta take care of our business."
She always spoke to the camera and her supporters as if they were actually going with her, and she felt like they were. A lot of her comments were telling her things like they live through her videos and they feel like they're on FaceTime when watching her, so she made sure to say "we" and "us" even if it was just her.
"I was in Miami this past weekend and went to the Versace Mansion for this party, let me tell y'all! Did you know it's just on the corner of a busy ass street? I thought it would've been more secluded, the back of the house is an alley y'all. He deserved some more privacy. Anyway."
After talking to the camera about everything and nothing at the same time she put it on a time lapse and proceeded to get ready for the few appointments she had and errands she needed to run. "Here's the fit, it's 10:15 so I need to hurry up before I'm too late."
Even though she was running late she took the time to put on some lip gloss in her car and started driving to her wax appointment. "Let me put y'all onto what I've been listening too lately, my Spotify playlists are linked in my bio though. I know all my music is breakup songs, even though I'm not going through a breakup the music just hits."
Thanks 4 Nothing by Mariah The Scientists started playing and Destiny sung the lyrics out, turning the volume up. "How did you feel when I left you on my birthday? I ain't sleep that night, I was hurting. I ain't sleep last night, I been working. How did you feel knowing I always deserved it?"
After a typically 30 minute drive that turned into 25 because she went over the speed limit to make it, she arrived. Grabbing her camera and walking into her appointment. "I was 5 minutes late don't do me Layla." Destiny said, setting the camera down and turning it towards her face.
"I wasn't even going to say anything till you brought it up. Be glad there's no one after you, how have you been?" Layla went on with her usual waxing process, not even having to ask Destiny if there was anything in specific she wanted since she had been a loyal customer since her college years.
After about fifteen minutes she was done and on the way to her lash appointment. "Lashes, nails then we can go grocery shopping. I kinda wanna get on a Zoom call and eat dinner with some of y'all so I might do that later."
A lash appointment and a new set of nails later Destiny pulled into the parking lot at Target and walked in, grabbing a cart and strolled down the beauty aisles. "I know everybody's hyping up this Dr. Teals sleep lotion but it had me up for 24 hours y'all, I'm not even joking. But let's go get groceries since that's what we're here for."
"Tonight I wanna make scallops and asparagus so I need that plus some other little stuff." Destiny grabbed the ingredients she needed plus a few other things that she didn't really need and left the store, then posted on her close friends story the Zoom code and headed home.
Once she was home she vlogged herself making dinner then opened up her computer to start the Zoom. She set the limit of participants to 10 so she could talk to everyone individually and enjoyed her dinner with a few of her supporters.
"Ok guys I'm gonna go clean my house and go book a flight to somewhere warm, even though Atlanta is hot as heck right now. City hot is different than beach hot. See y'all in the morning, bye!" Destiny turned off her camera and went to cleaning, starting her night routine.
