 Hey guys, happy Friday. It is September 7th. Can you believe it? I haven't done a whole lot of vlogging and I've often said this is my favorite type of video and it really is. I don't know about you guys but sometimes I get bored of just, you know, strictly product reviews or beauty videos. At least I get bored doing them. There are some that I love watching but after a while it's almost like the same old same old. I gravitate more to vlog style videos because of course Jay and I are RVers so I also watch a lot of RVing videos and sailing videos. I follow a bunch of sailors on YouTube and I enjoy those types of videos. I also enjoy creating the vlogs so here it is Friday September 7th and I haven't really done a official sort of vlog in, I think since I came home from Bar Harbor. I'm going to insert a couple of clips just to catch you up a little bit of what's been happening. We went away for the long weekend and we went to Booth Bay Harbor which is one of our favorite places on the coast domain. It's two and a half hours from home. It's easy to get to. We go there every year sometimes a couple of times a year. Booth Bay has a lot to offer and Booth Bay is a little less crowded than Bar Harbor. It's obviously a lot closer than Bar Harbor and I just think Booth Bay is beautiful. We always go over to Ocean Point. This is an East Booth Bay. It is beautiful over there. Absolutely beautiful. I have said repeatedly for years that I think the walking along the shore in East Booth Bay, looking at the beautiful ocean views all along that whole stretch from Grimes Cove to Ocean Point Inn is just an amazing beautiful calming walk. We walk it a couple of times every time we visit. We just totally love the East Booth Bay area and of course we have our very favorite ice cream place that Jay always has to have his ice cream at. He loves this ice cream. He corrupted me twice. I had two ice cream cones while I was away for the long weekend and when I say long weekend I took Thursday and Friday off. Saturday and Sunday and Monday of course was the holiday and Tuesday off so we didn't get home. I left really super early Wednesday morning and drove directly to London Dairy because I have class I had to teach and so to be corrupted only twice with ice cream was pretty good. Now on our last day we sat on one of the deck restaurants, McSeagulls. It overlooks the water. It's just a really pretty place to sit and enjoy your dinner or lunch and so we had appetizers there and I had an old salty dog type of a margarita. It was good. I don't drink a whole lot so it was a really good drink and I enjoyed it and that's what we did sort of on our last day. We walked around. I bought a hat. I really love this ball cap. I thought it was just very pretty. It's understated. It's not over the top but I loved how it had this little bit of an embroidery of the beach chairs in it and that is so me. So the only other thing that would have been more me is if it had flip flops. When we're fortunate enough to scoff a campsite into this little tiny campground that's oceanfront we have taken a campsite there and stayed there but it's so hard to get in. I love, love it. That is the campsite that I have done some sunrise videos. I'm going to insert a time lapse here for you to enjoy. This was actually taken from inside my motorhome aiming out of my bedroom window very, very early in the morning as the sun was rising over South Port Haber in the Booth Bay region. It is a gorgeous campsite and unfortunately they're going to try to go seasonal next year so I don't think 2019 is going to be our year to go back there because the seasonal price is for the site that we like super expensive. So that was the scoop on that. We came home. I started teaching Varani you this week. Next up for us other than maybe quick weekend here and there at the beach but next up for us is a family wedding at the end of the month and that's going to be another long weekend. That's super exciting because we're going to have the family and there's a little nerve wracking because I am going to be officiating the ceremony and it's my niece's wedding so I'm a little I'm a little nervous about that obviously but hey guys it's Saturday the 8th. In the previous clip I you know I talked about Booth Bay Harbor trip and coming home and all that and I'm going to insert a bunch of clips from my vacation in Booth Bay Harbor, Maine right after this clip but before I do that a couple of you have asked how I like the Invisibobbies that I've been using. I have several different Invisibobbies some that I have bought and some that have been sent to me from the company via the Octoly network so I when my hair was shorter I couldn't really use these but as my hair grew I was really intrigued by them because I had heard a number of reviews where they didn't crunch your hair up they didn't hurt your hair and I was like yeah okay you know so I did buy my first two sets and then I saw it on the Octoly network and I requested that they and they actually sent me some and I love love love love them I've actually given some of these away because I really love them so much so most of time on vacation my hair was up obviously and so I would put my hair I twist my hair up on the top of my head and I would put an Invisibobby in to hold it in place and then sometimes I would take a claw clip and I would just clip the claw clip in the very back to keep the short strands that don't quite reach the top of my head up and never ever I mean it sometimes it would take the claw clip off later in the day but I never ever had to redo the Invisibobby the entire time and we went hiking we went you know all over the place we were outside a lot and these things these babies held up they held my hair up they never hurt my hair so then I saw the the trio that they recently had promoted and I said ooh I like this because us they have different sizes different colors they have them more neutral the original then they have this clear then they have like you can see this a little bit different in the shades and also in the shape the clear is more white this one is more of like a a sort of a neutrally color but you can see through it I'm really liking this and then this is much bigger in a natural shade so anyways I did request if they would send me these and they did so I'm tickle pink because that sounds pretty good and I'm wearing pink because I absolutely love these and I think these are perfect if you have long hair if you want to put your hair up like I've done and I put my hair up almost every day that I could since the heat since the summer and once my hair got longer like this I could pull it up easy enough and I did that the other thing I wanted to mention is and this is another product that was sent to me and this is Mark Daniels via the Octolene at work so some of you know I've done I've done a couple of different looks at a couple of different volume boosting type products this Mark Daniels body bounce of a boom volume a boosterizer this actually claims that it's going to instantly transform let me read this from the website instantly transform flat fine hair into voluptuous hair to give you lift and bounce and body I've used this maybe five times since I've received it is what I did this morning is after I did my serums and I let my serums dry I took this and I put it on the tips of my fingers and I went through especially on the top where I really need the volume in the boost I went through and I put this all on my drawing here now they say you can you can do it it's better to do it after shampooing and I've done it after shampooing and that's absolutely right but I shampoo at night and then I go to sleep after a derma roll so it doesn't really work for me that way maybe the next morning I wet it and I'll start all over again so I put this on dry and then I ended up taking a couple of big velcro curlers I think four of them and I did along the crown in here and the rest I just left the way it was and then I just took my my hair dryer and I just warmed up my velcro curlers and my hair and I took my hair out and this is basically I don't know if you can you can see it and actually getting some volume on my three-day hair this is pretty good I'm really liking this so so far this is a plus so far this will go into the column of I would buy this myself so I'm going to continue to use it I'll report back at the end but so far I'm really liking it so now if you hang in there thank you so much here is my vacation vlog I will be back at the end this is east booth bay ocean point and this walk along the ocean many many I mean amazing scenic views and beautiful homes so we actually take this walk along ocean point road several times when we visit the booth they have a region that stone church you just saw is absolutely wonderful I would say to Jay if we ever renew our vows I would love to do it in that church it is magnificent and then you come out and you see these views on the top of the church doors or landing I should say it's nice beautiful now listen carefully because you're gonna hear some beautiful sounds towards the very tail end of this tiny cliff and this is dodge point nature path in new castle main this is just probably about 10 minutes from our campsite just a really cool walk in the woods and you end up on a shore path that follows along the damaskata river it was really pretty we only saw a few other people out there people walking their dogs people just enjoying nature it was like an awesome surprise because we've never done this walk before so this path in the woods along the shore path just brings you out to the ocean like a really really beautiful spot it's two at least private as far as we can tell I said private areas at least as far as we can tell the tide still coming in so we'll get to still walk here this will be covered I think when the tide fully comes in this is probably the first time that we've come here that there's actually been people usually we come here and there's not too many people around but that restaurant's actually open and there was some sort of a re-enactment out by the lighthouse of course I'm afraid to sit at the picnic table so I've been having my picnic lunch standing well Jay enjoys a seat but I am chicken I just remember what that felt like when that picnic table went over and crushed me in that position with the picnic table resting on my back of my thighs and my legs wedged up underneath it was like pretty scary in my opinion so we're on the tail end of our Labor Day weekend it's Sunday and we are actually staying until Tuesday and we continued a little drive around and we went down towards Bristol and ran over some really cool bridges and along the shore road here just absolutely beautiful views just amazing I think when you look at some of the less traveled spots like look at this you know all these folks live right on the edge of the ocean like this and it's like for me if I ever had a place like this I would just be sitting out there and enjoying it all the time but I suppose if you live there you need to break too but I love seeing people kayaking out there I love just driving by seeing sailboats go by it was just really a pretty pretty spot to explore love it and then we found this little yacht club at least that's what we think it was because you could see all the different sail boaters coming by it was just it was just really pretty so we stopped and we walked around and enjoyed it's a beautiful spot this is the democrat of river river river I said river I said the democrat of river and I meant to say river because everyone always says I have a northern accent and it's the river the dropping of the ours I think that make it that way this is the um the driveway to my home my summer home because she didn't know the kitchen it does say private no stopping them sorry no stopping you huh yep he's bad this is my last guys so for my outlander friends look at the name of that boat do you think black jack's here in booth bay harbor it's heat lightning baby heat lightning as I'm leaving the campground I'm heading home I'm at work Jay will bring the rig in a little bit later hey guys thanks so much for watching the vlog I know that the the clips can be a little bit long at times but you know the booth bay harbor region is just so pretty if you've never been there it would be something that I would say put on your bucket list actually all of Maine the coast of Maine is just absolutely gorgeous so the other thing I always get asked is about my collagen supplement this is from great lakes gelatin I'm going to link their website I don't sell this I don't this isn't a commission thing for me at all although I would love it if they did send me some money because I've been talking about this for over two years so I buy the big eight pound bag and we just kind of refill it into this can but this is pure unflavored protein kosher beef and this is great lakes gelatin collagen hydro state collagen joint care dietary supplement I've been using this since january of 2016 and the questions always are am I still using it yes I use this twice a day I take two tablespoons of this every morning and I mix it in my coffee then I take two tablespoons and I'm either going to put it in a protein drink that I'm having in the afternoon or I've also been known to put it into a cup of tea I usually mix this with something unless it's in the blender like I'm blending up a protein shake I usually mix this with something room temperature whether it's water or it's tea seems to work the best for me I love love love love this really believe in the power of a collagen supplement that's pure it's not mixed with a bunch of other things you're getting pure 100% that collagen it's going to go inside it's going to work to the outside I think the collagen supplement it's helped Jay tremendously it's helped with his walking with his hips with his golfing I mean before he started to use this he's an avid golfer he was having a hard time walking the golf course he had to take the cart all the time or the wagon anything and he used to when he was younger he always walked it because it was a great exercise he couldn't walk the golf course anymore and then when he started to use this all of a sudden he started to walk the golf course his chiropractor is amazed at what his condition is today and his chiropractor is so also sold on this that he's also doing collagen supplement and it helps him because you know he's repetitive motion of pushing and pushing so yes to all of you that have asked about the collagen supplement I take it twice a day two tablespoons each time so that's four tablespoons a day it is a lot but that's what the instructions call for that's what I've been doing since January of 2016 that's what I continue to do I buy the eight pound bag because it's cheaper the bigger refail size it is cheaper that way they do not have a loyalty program as far as I know but it is worth it we will never ever ever switch from this so that's the scoop on this guys thanks so much for all your support thank you all so much for watching the vlog I truly appreciate it catch you on later bye guys
