 I just wanna share with you this Balzano bag that I got in. So I know that it's too close to Christmas to have been like a Christmas bag. So I'm not expecting that because I have seen a couple of the Christmas bags that other content creators have promoted, but it was a lot earlier. So obviously you'd have time to order. But I've been fortunate enough to be gifted a number of Balzano bags over the course of time. And when Balzano first reached out to me about reviewing a handbag if they sent it to me, I was a little bit, you know, nervous because I'm kind of fussy when it comes to bags and I really didn't know if I would like it, but at the same time I was super thrilled. So they sent me my first bag and I really read the story about the company. And I don't know what it is, but I am super drawn to, you know, indie-owned companies, especially if they're women-owned and empowered and things of that nature. I loved the story of this handbag company. A mother, a daughter who was buying, who worked for her mother and she was, you know, buying products and stuff like that. She was really into the, you know, into the fashion and all that. And then she had a daughter and her daughter helps design the jewelry for the company. And it's just like, it's such a hot, warming story because her daughter, who's a major part of her company, a major part of her story, was born with Down syndrome. And I think the whole story about her daughter and the company just goes to show you the power of love, the power of love in positive thinking. That's how I look at it. So, you know, we can go through life and we can go, oh, the glasses have empty and woe is me and woe is me. We all have those moments, you know, a self-pity, a self-doubt, a self-whatever. But when we dig through it and we look at the world in a different way and we look at the possibilities, the potential, that's when things start to happen. That's when you become your own rainmaker. And this woman was her own rainmaker. She took a situation with her daughter and empowered her daughter and empowered her brand. And I just am like, I'm super thrilled to be a part of this, a small part. I mean, there are many other content creators who get bags and different handbags, but this is a subscription service. So you can customize, you can pick the styles, you can, you fill out a chart that you can answer a bunch of questions about yourself and you can customize the types of bags you're looking for, how many you wanna buy. So you can go from like 39 on up. Most bags come with an accessory. Sometimes it's a scarf, sometimes it's jewelry. But all the time, the bags are put together with love, in my opinion. So I have no idea what this is, other than I know it's not a holiday one. Just unfolded it. They all come in these dust bags so that you can store this bag with black. Being a working woman, these types of bags are always, oh my gosh, gosh. So anyways, this is super, super good size. I really like it. There is a zippered compartment in the outside that you can fill up and it's a strap. You can use it as a shoulder strap. You can carry, this is big enough for mine. I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro. I also have an iPad. So I always measure bags for work and stuff like that. Is it big enough to get my computer in there? And I have no idea. I mean, this is literally stuffed with goodies. There's the strap to make the shoulder strap. This is a lipstick holder. Cappuccino lip balm. Gosh, how cute is that? So it's a lip balm, a little package, a little foe. I'm gonna untie this. I can keep the candy store. Untie this. This is adorable. What do we have in here? Oh my lordy, lordy. Look at this brush. Eyepatches, you know I'm really into eye patches lately. You know, for eye treatments and stuff like that. I don't know what brand they are and it looks like there's just this little tiny blush. Desi blush number six. I'm thinking this is like a perfect, I don't wanna kind of mess up everything but I'm thinking this is like perfect. You know, when you're going out and you're traveling, you don't wanna have a full blush with you or anything of that nature. So I'm always like looking to see how I can make my makeup that I wanna bring with me the other day, it's more compact. Oh, this is sweet. This is a powder brush. Powder off my excess, this is really, this is so pretty. Oh my gosh, I love it. I love it. And there's more. Thank you so much, Balano. And so there's all these little surprises of accessories and you can get, you can order, you can, is this a scarf? Oh my gosh, these are pretty. These are dangling, dangling earrings and a necklace with a little ribbon on it. Oh my gosh, and a scarf. That is so, so pretty. But I'll tell you, these earrings, I don't know if you can see them. Oh my gosh, aren't they pretty? They're the cutest. These earrings are definitely me. These are definitely me. They're gonna be, I think the earrings that I wear for the holidays, for Christmas. And this little necklace, you know, I have a starfish necklace that I usually wear all the time that my mom had given me. I don't even know how many years ago and I usually wear it all the time except when I take it off to do deep cleaning and it's right now, it's soaking and being cleaned. This is so, I don't know if you can see it. It's like a little ribbon, a little bow. So pretty. Anyways, this is absolutely amazing. I really like this a lot. How-oh-how, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute. And the brush and the bag and the blush and the bomb. This bag is definitely perfect size for me for every day going to work. Thank you so much, Balzano. I'm gonna leave all the information below. If you're interested in checking it out, I'm not just sure when this will be published but Jay and I are gonna be heading to, well, we're heading, if all goes well. If all goes well, we're going to be going away the day after Christmas, just for the weekend. If all goes well. And I might bring this with me. This is really nice. I love this. Thank you so much, Balzano. The other thing I wanted to share with you really quick, I don't know if this is getting along. I had talked about this palette that I had gotten from Sheila Life with Lily. This was just one of many. But I wanted to share with you. Instead of the look, instead of like a little bit of this, a little bit of that. In my crease, I did Secret Santa. And that, I will have to tell you, this is deceiving because when I first looked at that, I said, well, these are nice and light. And I didn't think they would be super pigmented, nice and light. But anyway, so in my crease, I did Secret Santa and holy cow, did that come out heavy. That was really intense. And then I decided I was going to go and try that's my jam, the top purple one. And then I decided, and this is how I am with my lipsticks too. You know, I do this, I do that, I add this. But then I decided that I really wanted to try Santa's favorite. So I had, that's my jam. And then Santa's favorite on top. And then I went more into the fine part of the transition crease with O-Snap. Then I docked Secret Santa on the outside again. And then I went all over everything else with snowflake. So that's what I did. This is the palette I used. Oh, and then above my brow, you know, whatever you call it near my brows, I just did the cream shade right here. So the entire look with the exception of my eyeliner and my mascara and my eyebrow pencil, the entire look came out of this palette. So I will have to tell you that I usually don't ever just stick to one palette. I'm usually dipping in this and dipping in that and getting this and doing that. But today, this is what I did. And so I wanted to share that with you. I thought this was like super, super cool. And the other thing is just more intense thoughts about these lips, these lipsticks that I got. They're 30% off, I believe, on their website. And I think I mentioned in my previous video that I didn't know how long-lasting these were. I'm gonna eat my words. These are very long-lasting. I must tell you, I absolutely love them. Love them, love them. And then I did a little bit of shopping. I'll enclose the picture because one of the things that I bought was from Bath & Body Works. And I went into Bath & Body Works when they had their sale. Oh my God, I got all the lip balms. I love these. It was life with Lily. Simply Sheila who first told me about this. I think, I don't know, I won the first one. I didn't mention this before in one of her early giveaways. And since that time I've bought many of these. And then she also bought one for both Marlene and I when we were down in South Carolina with her. So I love these. They have fabulous sales a few times a year. That's when you stock up on this. I also stocked up on their hand creams. I'm sort of a hand cream fanatic. And I got in the mail, Mademoiselle Providence. You saw that I talked about that with this beautiful hand cream. So I'm not opening any of these. Some of these are gonna be Christmas gifts or part of a Christmas gift. But these were all so, so cheap. I absolutely love Bath & Body Works. I use their hand soaps. I love their foaming hand soaps. I love their three wick candles. Those are amazing. So I love everything about this. Anne. You wanna get that? I do feel like a shorty next to you. You're such a tall guy. I'm seven foot two. Yeah, seven foot two. Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas everyone. Merry Christmas everyone. Hey, did you like what you bought me? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what I bought or what I buy you. You bought me a really nice palette. Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho! And some earrings. Ooh! Ooh! And a few other little miscellaneous items. Oh, I haven't even bought anything for me yet. That's okay. I'm sure you will. Like golf balls and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. Hey guys, we just want to wish you a very, very Merry Christmas and happy New Year if we don't, well we'll see you before the New Year. Oh yeah, definitely, yeah. Your candy canes are limping. Aren't they supposed to stand straight up? You got a wishy candy cane here. He's got a wishy candy cane. Anyways, we are heading day after Christmas. We're heading away. So we had a little bit. Yeah. Oh, you changed hats. I was picking on him because he had his hat was kind of, his hat was kind of funny, right? Yep. Merry Christmas. I'm going to put the first part in here. I'm going to edit our battery died. So we kind of messed up a little bit. Now we're redoing it again. We messed up. Jeff's job messed up. Anyways. Your camera, your battery, I messed up. Yeah. Okay. It's a good thing that we can blame you. Yeah. Sure. Anyways, I think when the battery died, I was saying that we're going away and I was asking you, can we tell them where we're going? No. With the secret? Yeah. Okay. But we're going away day after Christmas. Keep your fingers crossed. You're going to probably see this before Christmas, but we're going to go away the weekend after Christmas and we're going somewhere special that we really like. So if all goes well, we'll be down there. So that means I'm not going to be doing a video the day after Christmas. I don't know if I'll be doing one on that Sunday night maybe, who knows. But it'll be instead of a vlog style because you're going to see a little mixture of this, a little mixture of that. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. And a little bit of Christmas. Ho ho ho. Ho ho ho. So anyways, thank you all so much for joining us and for being so supportive. And I think I already said Merry Christmas and all of that to every single one of you, right? I can't remember. No, maybe you should sing a song. No, I don't sing. Hey, Merry Christmas everyone. Ho ho ho.
