Late 20s Diaries Ep. 14 | Chit-Chat & Life Updates: CPAP Stories, Work Meetings, & Hauls

Hey everyone, welcome back to *Late 20s Diaries*, Episode 14! I’m really sticking to my promise of being consistent, so here we are with another vlog-on time, as promised! This one is super chatty, so get comfy because we’re diving into a bunch of updates and stories.
First off, Gemini (my fur baby) went to stay with my mom for two days while I attended some work meetings, so I’ll be talking about that. Spoiler: I missed Gemini way more than expected! I’m also going to chat a bit about my CPAP machine-you know, the sleep machine? Fun story: I found out I wasn’t breathing 98 times a night (yikes!), but my doctor has high hopes for my sleep moving forward, and so do I!
On a lighter note, I’ve got some fun hauls to share! I’ve been on an Amazon skincare spree (because self-care, right?), and I’ve also received some sweet PR packages from Kroger and VCA. No sponsorships here-just some lovely gifts for being a loyal customer. I’m breaking it all down for you in this vlog.
Oh, and since so many of you have asked, I’m sharing the rustic chicken recipe I’ve been obsessed with lately. I found it on Pinterest and trust me, it’s a game-changer:
*Rustic Chicken Recipe*
• 6 chicken thighs (skin-on, bone-in, or boneless)
• 2 small yellow onions (halved and sliced)
• 2 garlic cloves (thinly sliced or minced)
• Ginger root (about 1 ½ inches, thinly sliced or minced)
• 1 tsp sea/kosher salt (plus more to taste)
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• 2 cups water
• 1 Tbsp olive or vegetable oil
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
It’s packed with flavor and super easy to make! Let me know if you try it out or if you have any favorite recipes you’re loving right now.
As always, thanks for sticking with me and tuning into the chaos that is my busy life. I hope you enjoy this week’s vlog-let me know your thoughts on skincare, sleep machines, or whatever’s on your mind! I love hearing from you all.
