 hey guys welcome welcome back to my vlog this is sort of part two of my vegas trip with that guy that's Jay so we arrived yesterday and um we did it was a long ride from the grand canyon we took our we took sort of like a um a slow ride down you know basically we stopped on route 66 which the historic old route 66 yeah and we got lost could only happen to us right so we stopped there and that was kind of not what I expected let's put it that way it's not at all what I expected it was it was cool it probably took about all of maybe a half hour and that includes a coffee stop and then we cruised that little loop and then we were back on the road and somehow we were just we got gas we were just gabbing up a storm and having a blast and you know next thing you know I mean we were going to the Hoover Dam right and I was like looking at the GPS on the phone and it says geez it says we're at hour and 57 minutes away and Jay goes well how can that be we were like an hour and 20 minutes away before and then I then we didn't think anything further so we just going and going and going and then else and it became ridiculous and we realized we're we're near California and that we had taken about we figured about 45 minutes out of our way heading the wrong direction what a bunch of goobas so we turned around and so that cost us about an hour and a half hour and 45 minutes of time or whatever it was waiting to get gas again for our rental car and then we went on and we went down to the Hoover Dam it was really really majestic I don't know if any of you've ever seen the Hoover Dam it's huge now we didn't do the tour routine you could have but it was jam packed with tourists and we didn't have time so we kind of drove through as you can see in this clip that I'm sharing a little bit of the ride and things of that nature and it was just a really cool cool ride we drove all the way up to the very top and while we couldn't see the views that the folks that were paying to see the views you know the bridge and all that stuff we could still get a feel for how huge the Hoover Dam was I don't know much of the history of the Hoover Dam but fascinating to see how that had to have been constructed like it was in the rock and all that then we went off onto the rest of our our journey into Vegas and that was a little bit of a nightmare as well but we did make it safe and sound and we arrived you know so last night we walked around the strip went and saw the light show and today is going to be busy busy convention stuff so I don't know what I'm going to share but I'll probably share a few little things here and there I think I just survived the longest lunch of my life how long were we at lunch honey I had at least two and a half three hours two and a half three hours but hey it was um it was really awesome it was like a most amazing networking event and so now we just got back to out the room you can try to freshen up my hair a little bit which I don't know if it's in there you know that but I'm gonna try to freshen up my hair a little bit and go meet a bunch of the very Varanians the peeps from my office our office we're gonna go um we're gonna go down to the lobby and we're gonna meet a few people then we're gonna walk over to La Bandido something like that I'm gonna grab a jacket it's it's cold here in Vegas guys it's cold it's unbelievable I'm like thinking really this should be awesome I cannot believe that it is actually near the end of our convention in our trip so tomorrow's the last full day of convention and tomorrow night we're actually gonna go see Gwen Stefani so I think we're I think we're gonna have a blast so tonight today was a really full crazy day we did meetings and meetings and training education and all that kind of stuff and then tonight we had a pool party which was like this big gala event it was casual which was really good but it was beautiful you can tell by these photos and these video clips that I'm inserting here it was absolutely magical it was just really amazing and Jane I had such a good time mingling with not only the folks from our office but also with agents from all over the country so it was really beautiful so tomorrow full day and tomorrow night Gwen Stefani I'll see I don't know sometimes they don't let you take cameras in I'm not too sure but I'm gonna give it a try and see what I can kind of share with you guys but and then Wednesday we're leaving so Wednesday is my mom's 91st birthday and every year on her birthday on everyone's birthday actually we always go out to dinner and this will be the first one we've missed in many many years because we won't be arriving until Thursday morning at 1 a.m we have a flight from hell we really do just like last year's huh just like last year's well no last year we would delay two days yeah this is just one whole darn day of flying good morning everyone good morning it is like Tuesday I think is it Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday um March 12th because tomorrow my tomorrow is my mom's 94th birthday March 13th and we're heading down for meetings and tonight will be the Gwen Stefani concert the last night so we've had a great time I've been putting together little clips for a blog um of course I haven't downloaded or edited any of them and as usual we've trashed our hotel room just getting ready and I'm going to just say have a great day everyone and I will catch you all later we're getting ready to go out and see Gwen Stefani and then we have to pack because I have all this stuff all over the place my room is totally trashed let me just take a look at this clip you can see how it totally trashed it is so when we come home we'll we'll start a little bit of packing but we actually have um oh I think we have to be out of here by I don't know you know 10 o'clock or something so we actually have some time in the morning you don't have to feel like we have to be out of here at six because we don't have an early morning flight so much more leisurely um packing if you want to call it that I just hope I fit everything in there what a mess we walked over to the Gwen Stefani concert which was being held at the planet Hollywood and stopped at a little place to eat it was really pretty but we had a person just reach up from the sidewalk to grab Jay's beer it's crazy and he has Gwen tonight is a celebration okay a celebration of music and a celebration of kids and of fighting all right so I want to have some really special guests I'm Gwen Stefani by the way this is my biggest show and sunshine kids events these kids right here I got this bracelet I got this bracelet I'm not like do you want to tell tell tell them what it means it's not appropriate it's not appropriate so we're going to keep that to me and her okay but I'm just excited because the foundation actually provides lots of fun things and activities for these kids to just be kids and enjoy their lives as they fight fight fight so I'm inspiring the sunshine kids that are here tonight I love you guys I feel you I adore you this is a great moment I know what song you're supposed to do what song should I do I'm happy to be like love things I mean there's an horrible thing and then there's horrible things this this happens to be about love or not love so anyways I don't like doing this song but I will do the song tonight because I feel like it's there for you because I love you good morning everyone good morning Wednesday morning Jay and I are just about all packed up I'm surprised I uh fit everything in there anyways we're just about all packed up and we're gonna mosey our way downstairs and call an uber for a ride to the airport I'm hoping our flight is okay there's been some cancellations of flights on southwest friends of ours you know co-workers their flight has been cancelled due to stormy weather and Chicago I think I'm not too sure so I'm keeping my fingers and my toes crossed that we get out hey guys I thought I would wrap this vlog up because it's full of our Vegas trip and on vlog number one I had shared the Grand Canyon and now I'm just gonna sort of recap because one of the things that I was really super worried about when we left for Vegas was going to be how I was gonna deal with sun care and sun protection and I pretty well had that covered so I'm going to do a separate video recapping the skin care stuff the foundation but I'm going to answer one foundation question because so many of you have asked this question and that is in my previous two videos I talked about the CYO foundation that you can buy for seven dollars a piece so they're seven dollars a piece you can get them in the states in Walgreens now you may have to order them online in Walgreens and you may have to go to the boots website to try to get a color match the color match I think is the hardest thing to do with these foundations and also the labeling on these bottles are horrible as far as remembering the color so I was talking to Susan little poet and we were talking about this foundation and she couldn't quite remember the color shade and and I said here's what I did I said wait till you see my next video so here's exactly what I did I do this to all my bottles because I you know like when I say my bottles it sounds like I'm talking booze bottles or not I'm talking about like you know the ordinary bottles and drops and oils and stuff like that I'll I'll label them and for niacinamide you know M for marula oil S for squalene oil whatever it is so that when I'm looking in the medicine cabinet I don't have to worry about not seeing the label so with the CYO for some reason once I figured out the colors I just kind of I don't know if you can see that I just wrote with a black sharpie now these sharpies will rub off after a while too so I wrote with a black sharpie on the bottle this is color 104 I also wrote it on the bottom brown part of the bottle 104 and the place that you can see the color is on this little tiny tiny label here which is just stuck on so you can imagine that label comes off really easy all you have to do is get it wet that label comes off so I got 104 I got 106 and I did the same thing put 106 on here put 106 down here 107 107 took them all the same these are the three shades that I got the 107 even though I believe and I'm going to double check the website I believe that these were all for rosy undertones and or pink you know rather than yellow and at least that's what I thought I bought but the 107 almost makes me look like I have a tan on my face so I've been mixing the 107 with the 106 the 104 in its own is way too light for me but I can mix it as well and get a combo between these three and put this foundation on now I put this foundation on this morning with the I know I'm going to butcher this the Shishito Shishito the sunblock the little blue one and I put the sunblock all over my face first yesterday when I wore this foundation I used the Australian gold all over my face now yesterday was Saturday I'm going to insert some clips here because we took my mom and dad out so I'll insert those at the end so you can see the little birthday party but yesterday Saturday I wore this foundation all day today I ended up today I did the Shishito it worked really nice on my skin the trick for me is having enough time in between applications to let it drive really good I I put on this morning the Shishito I walked around the house now the Shishito that I used I didn't use the tinted which I love by the way but that'll be a separate video I walked around the house to put it on and it's it gives me it does give me a bright casting the white dissipates pretty quick but I waited until it was good and dry and then I put on this I mixed the 106 with the 107 and a tiny drop of the 104 so I did three and I patted them on my face and then I did enough for me I'm using a dampened sponge I when I dampen it I dampen it with a setting mist actually and not water so I patted that all in and then when I had it all covered on my face I just took one of my foundation brushes that I have and I just put it in all you know just kind of like buffed it in all over my face and I actually I actually loved doing that I actually loved buffing it in all over my face letting it go smoothly it was just really really nice it was a great way for me to kind of like give it up a total buffin now the brush I used which this this was like oh my gosh this was like such a wonderful thing to come home with this is the Sigma this was actually sent to me among uh with a lot of other brushes I'll show you this little clip I'll insert it somewhere in here I couldn't believe I got this package it's like absolutely wonderful so this was the flat kappuki brush and I just kind of buffed it all in I really really like it I love love love love these brushes Sigma also sent me a number of other things which I haven't touched yet and I'll go into in a little bit the other thing aside from the foundation I wanted to share with you because this probably was my best find my best find if you are a woman like me that needs to wear glasses and you want to be able to do some sort of when you're away you want to pack a magnifying mirror and you know every hotel we stayed in Vegas we stayed at Caesar's Palace and oh my god was that a disappointment I was so disappointed in that hotel and that's not a cheap hotel but it was so disappointed in that hotel our furniture was worn the room was clean the bathroom was clean the sheets were clean the bed was clean I inspected everything but the furniture was worn it was tired looking it was grungy looking in that sense because it was tired and it's it's like if you want to have they give you k-cups in your room but if you use those k-cups it's unbelievably expensive so we didn't even have the k-cups we didn't even use them but they did have a lighted makeup mirror but the counter was so low and it was such a big device and it was plugged into the wall you couldn't really move it and I couldn't move a chair in there so this thing has been like my savings grace when I travel and this is basically a lighted mirror and it comes you know on a little stand that it can stand on but the nice thing about it is one side this upper side is 10 times magnifying and the lower side is normal right so I can choose what I want to do and I can make this stand up and I can apply my makeup I can hold in my hands and apply my makeup but the coolest thing is runs by battery I can turn the battery on and it's lighted it's a lighted oh my gosh I don't look that great it's a lighted makeup mirror I love it I absolutely love it so you can turn it on by battery I think I'll have to go look I know I kept the box but I love love this makeup mirror and I think I got this like at Marshalls or TJ Maxx or something like that it was under 20 bucks best best travel mirror for me for the type of person I am because I need the magnifying and I love the lighting and yes this like I think 3 AAA batteries so that was like really really cool so um so Vegas was like totally awesome the other regret I had in Vegas is I didn't bring any of my wigs I would have loved it had I brought one of my my wigs it would have made getting up in the morning going out and about so much easier this is my Henry Magoo Hayden I can't remember what color is I have to look at it but I'll link the information below I love this wig on me I also love that I have the Raquel Welch Flirt alert I love that wig as well so the thing with wigs yes I have hair I my hair is thinning I've been doing you know all sorts of things to try to prevent it from really thinning like crazy but the things with the wigs for me even when I used to wear my short wigs half the time in my videos sometimes I would wear those short wigs that I got from Uniwig I had it on in a couple of videos ago and I absolutely love it because it makes it easy as a content creator to get on camera and talk about a product so yeah and so yeah some people say oh you know you look better with your own hair and it's to me it's a nice little breakup next time I do a video I might be wearing another short one I don't know I think I'm going to switch it I also have a really long one when I first wore that I think it was a year ago so I had a lot of you say that you didn't like it on me at all it's really long I think now I'm a better I'm better skilled with it and I'm going to give it a little more of a trim and I'm going to try it out one day just to see to see what you guys think so anyways we're back from Vegas I'm going to insert a little clip yesterday that was taken driving down on my mom and dad's and then some photos of my mom's 95th birthday 91st she'll kill me 95th 91st birthday happy birthday to my mom my next video if you guys want and some of you have said you want more swatches of this stuff I'll do that but this is really what I'm doing and just labeling it is the only way I can keep track of what it is because their labeling system sucks big time so I'm also going to talk about a new mascara in my next video that I've been using and I've been loving so I'm going to talk about that mascara and then I'm going to really go into my my Sigma PR package that I got because I'm like tickled pink to have received this I really am it's like amazing to me and even these you know the eyeshadow palettes you know I haven't used it yet I think I shared this before but the colors look like they would be really nice they're probably more in a warmer shade but I'm going to play around with them I'm getting daring so today when I put my miss my eyeshadow on it's kind of heavy and I probably have to blend it better but today when I did it Jay looked at me and he says please don't go like that you look like a I'm not going to say what he said I look like I cracked up laughing I said really I do I look like that anyway he didn't think it was funny but so I think that's all I really want to touch on so thank you so much for watching the vlog I truly appreciate every single one of you look for my next video where I'm going to chuck a little bit more about my Sigma package and also the sunscreens that I used how they worked for me and what I did for my skincare while I was away from home and traveling St Patrick's Day Eve all washed out what are you going to do for St Patrick's Day? Are you going to cook us a St Patty's meal? We have to find someone that will invite us over for that isn't like potatoes and gravy? No it's more of corned beef supposed to be like corned beef and cabbage Corned beef and cabbage so who's got corned beef and cabbage cooking tomorrow St Patrick's Day that lives in southern New Hampshire that can invite us over anyway I'm going to have some Guinness Stout beer Guinness Stout beer so tonight we're going to Longhorns in celebration of my baby sister's birthday and picking up my mom and dad and taking them to Longhorns and going to be Caitlyn and Travis there maybe you'll have a Stout beer tonight almost 70 years of marriage and 91 years old and they're still smooching in public
