DAY IN MY LIFE: WHAT I ATE TODAY AND GROCERY HAUL

2021-01-18 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 28 min

Chantal (Foodie Beauty) vlogs a day in her life during a COVID lockdown: a morning smoothie, a full weekly grocery haul with commentary on brands and ingredients, a tuna sandwich lunch, making and doubling a creamy Italian dressing (Pinterest recipe) for a pasta salad, cooking a barbecue-seasoned pan-fried chicken and a big salad for pizza night, and portioning an evening snack (low-sodium kettle chips) while drinking grape kombucha. She briefly mentions family matters (grandmother in hospital) and discusses her shifting relationship to mukbangs and intuitive eating. Pets (Sam and other 'baby boys') and a person named Pete appear and help on camera.
