A DEPRESSING NEW YEAR'S 2020 VLOG

2020-01-01 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 28 min

Chantal vlogs from a hotel over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day 2020. She tours the hotel room, talks about anxiety, social avoidance, and plans for healthier eating in the new year. She documents what she ate that day (Lindor chocolates, hotel dinner that included a cold potato and bland meatloaf that was removed from the bill, a virgin Caesar, Starbucks Irish cream macchiato, and later takeaway pot pies, a five-piece strip meal with Cajun fries, Doritos and ranch dip). She apologizes for secrecy about staying overnight with a male roommate for the night, mentions returning unopened alcohol, discusses missing her cats (BB) and travel plans, and ends the vlog planning a “fresh start” and to follow a doctor’s plan.
