Hello, hello. Welcome back to Morning Ray or welcome to Morning Ray. I'm your host,

Lan or Alana, and this is part two of how to be hotter in 2025. This is the intentions,

mindsets, routines, and how to build healthy habits in this year to make it your year to make you feel like your best, hottest, healthiest, highest, and most confident self.

Part one, if you haven't listened to it yet, is reflecting on 2024 manifestations and vision boards. If you haven't listened to it yet, is reflecting on 2024 manifestations and vision boards.

If you haven't listened to it, I would recommend going and listening to that episode before

diving into part two. And then next week will be how to actually achieve all these goals

that you are setting in these episodes. So grab your journal,

open up your notes app, get ready to dive in. And I'm super excited. You guys know I love this series.

It's my favorite thing ever. I am currently sitting on my couch. I'm recording again for YouTube.

It went live last week. And I hope that you guys liked it if you watched the video. I'm trying to figure out my audio because I don't know what's happening lately when I'm editing it. And it sounds great when I'm editing it. And then when I upload it onto Red Circle, which is kind of like the host platform that then like posts on Spotify and Apple and whatnot, I feel like it distorts the audio and it doesn't sound as

good. And I'm really trying to figure that out. You guys know I'm not really an audio tech person,

but like I've never had issues beforehand. So we're trying to sort that out. But nonetheless, let's do a little life update. Let's do some current faves. And then we'll get into our intentions, mindsets, routines, and healthy habits. I dyed my hair kind of red. I don't think you can tell. I'm looking in the viewfinder of my camera.

I don't think you can tell if you're watching on YouTube. It's not like I didn't like dye my hair

red. I got semi-permanent color. It's red with a violet undertone and I did this last time, but because

my hair is naturally super dark, it doesn't actually show up that well, but we used a stronger developer this

time, and you can actually really see the red in some lights. If I have overhead lighting or it's really

sunny, you can see the red a lot. I really love it. However, I have figured out that when I'm doing

my makeup, I feel like I've had to change like the colors of my blush and my eye shadow because I feel like it just, it has to be a specific tone in order to go with my hair.

I don't know if anyone feels this way, if they have warmer, cooler toned hair or like if they have red hair, like J.C. Marie, if you're listening to this, which I highly doubt I love Jacey but is that a thing

am I just insane I feel like my makeup has to be different because my hair is different which makes

my coloring all different but I've really been loving it I go to Nicole Park Hill here in Toronto I love

her she's such an angel and she's so talented I started going to her when I was doing valiage all the time,
