 I know this is kind of scary, but you know, I Just because I'm camping doesn't mean I want to Neglect my skin and the really cool thing is that a Year ago just about a year ago Gail from random life productions came from the UK we had never met each other and She came over to to to visit the states and we were chatting back and forth and some of you know This is how Gail and I really got to I have no idea why or how I started to watch her her channel but I think it was because I Look really scary. I think it was because she probably did a lot of blogs about England And that's a fascinating topic to me the castles and all that stuff Anyway, she mentioned she was coming to the States long story short that most of you already know about don't mind the mess behind me She mentioned that she's coming to the States and I said well, you know, let's get together and our let's get together Morphed into really let's get together. We ended up chatting on the phone. I felt really comfortable with her Yes, she was a total stranger But I felt really comfortable with her and I invited her to stay in our motor home If she wanted to to be in my area, which she jumped on that opportunity So anyways, why I'm thinking of Gail today is I'm doing this face mask And this face mask is actually a face mask that Gail brought from England that she left here She left like a bunch of masks in my motor home and I packed them up And I think what I did is when I packed them up. I put them in my camp box And that's where they sat all Year in my camping supply box. So when we opened up the motor home again this year I brought that box out here and I started to pack stuff up and this mask all the masks One of them and this is a hydrating Draining avocado sheet mask What's dripping and So hey Gail, I'm thinking of you while I'm camping. So I'm using this mask today and oh Yeah, it just feels heavenly heavenly I am like Really enjoying it. So today. I think is our last full day of camping at the beach. It's Sunday guys We're gonna bring the motor home home tomorrow morning. I got up really I didn't get up early I got up early ish and I walked down to the beach and then insert this that clip right now it's about six o'clock and And it looks like it's gonna be cloudy They did predict rain So I'm gonna put my Shoes on Walk along the water. I over slept I decided to increase the speed of the video and mute the natural sound as the wind Was pretty bad and you really couldn't even hear me at times So I'm walking down along the outer edge This is the river side of the campground and this is a walkway that all the campers can enjoy So even if you have a waterfront site like we do people can walk across it And it's just part of the amenity of the park. I absolutely love Camping here and as I walk closer to this opening you can see coming up here A nice little memorial bench I'm going to swing the camera around and show you the campground a little bit So you can kind of get a perspective from here. It's actually pretty small and Straight over there is the state park part of the campground in season the state park even though it's not a campground over there it's a public beach a state beach is Extremely popular and extremely crowded in season But most of the campers come down to this end of the beach This is known as the jetty area and it's just a pretty pretty stretch Hampton Beach is actually a Very popular very beautiful beach in the state of New Hampshire We've been coming here for years and really super enjoy it Can't tell you how many times I've come down here in season even when we can't get inside the campground We will camp here and we'll camp In the overflow parking lot That's what we call dry camping When there's no hookups Jay got up super super early and went golfing. Oh He's a fanatic He bought these new golf shoes online. He got a great great deal for him and I'm telling you I'm not into golfing but those golf shoes are really nice that he bought and He was so worried about it. He was worried about the size. He was worried about the fit the comfort And I'm so happy because he did get a great buy. They were like I Don't know. I think they were like maybe hundred and seventy hundred and eighty dollars for the golf shoes And I think he got them for like half that 70 something eighty something So Anyways, he got them and They fit like a glove and they are so comfortable he said So he is like super super super excited about his golf shoes And on the way back I walked into the wind So I decided to do a voiceover instead because the wind was just so loud So I'm walking down the center of the campground. You can see there are two rows We're on the water side and when I walked down to the beach, I walked along that side I thought I'd do and bring you this way on the way back to the camper So you can see this campground is pretty small. I was wrong. There's about 29 spaces And you do have to book well in advance in season We were lucky we came on Tuesday because first come first serve we were able to get spot number nine and It was actually a pretty good spot. Typically when we're here off season We end up having to be on the overflow, which is just basically in the parking lot on the other side It's a lot cheaper to stay there, but there is certainly no hookups or anything like that So you're dependent upon your generator for power and things of that nature But it's still close to the beach I think when we're in overflow it might take me five minutes to get down there Or as opposed to where we are now, it took me a little over three minutes to walk down Wait till you see the camper that's directly across from us. It's a converted bus coolest thing so they converted this bus they turned it into a camper and I don't know. I just thought it was really really amazing and this my rig It is a rig. It's a big one And I think there's a certain amount of freedom in that little converted bus there I think that's pretty cool Now I'm heading back inside Hope you enjoy my little beach walk this morning. Oh, and I love my plate. That means working hard So you can see from the clip We really are very very close to the ocean from this campsite and you can see when I walked back the other the you know the sort of the center aisle you can see a little bit of a different view but Sad to say we probably won't get back inside the campground this season because all these sites are booked up super fast And well ahead of time so we'll probably be camping in the overflow next time we come back to the beach but Hey, that's life and yeah, so we're heading home tomorrow. I've got a busy work week as usual So does Jay We could have kept the motorhome here and continued all next week coming back and forth to the beach But it just it just doesn't make any sense, you know, because you do have to pay even though it's off season you do have to you know to pay to Just checking my helper out you have to pay to stay here, so This is awesome The only thing is when you when you come here off season like this it's first come first serve and I am I Don't know yet what I'm gonna do. You know, I've been following the keto program I really really like keto. I really like my low carb lifestyle But I fell off the keto bandwagon and I cannot get back on I cannot get back dedicated motivated keto so I'm gonna look into something else, you know, I have a stand-up desk at work In case you haven't seen it. I'll insert the picture in here. I absolutely love my stand-up desk So when I'm at work and I'm office found I am actually Standing most of the day and then I go for long walks But still it isn't helping and I really want to I really want to ditch the the weight I've gained and I really just want to focus and Get back into the rah-rah exercise mode so Sorry to be so rambling on this vlog, but that's my Sunday. Maybe I'll show you a little bit of What I look like after I take the mask off and I have my eyes on you're not gonna see me without mascara. Bye guys Here comes the rain. I know you probably can't see it, but My window is covered With rain and the people next door to us packing up most people do leave on a Sunday And if it really gets bad, maybe Jay and I will leave this afternoon when he gets back from golfing rather than waiting until Monday morning to To haul our butts home So I just wanted to kind of show you Because I told you I'd show you what my skin looked like after I took my mask off So when we're camping I kind of like really I mean it's more of a low-key type of thing really I don't usually put on a ton of makeup I always wear my sunblock, which why it drove me crazy that I had forgotten it In my vlog that I posted last week But I always wear my sunblock sometimes I put a little bit of foundation in it to mix it in sometimes I'll add a little bit of a blush, but all the time it's mascara eyeliner eyebrow pencil and a little bit of a lipstick and Sunblock the rest of it, you know I don't I don't really worry about because it's low-key unless I'm heading out. We're going out to dinner Or we're going to the you know to work or something I don't fuss around a lot. So but that mask was really really nice and Yeah, and it worked out really well on my skin Jay just texted me. He is on his way back from his golf game and it has started to rain So we'll make a decision what we're going to do because it's raining out like crazy and that stinks but One of the things that we've been discussing is you know, we have a we have a trip planned to Canada Coming up we haven't finalized any of our plans, but we pretty well know what we want So one of the things that I've been trying to do is kind of map out a little bit of where we're going to go and Our time frame and all that and then I've been thinking about what I'm in a pack So these face masks thanks to gale kind of reminded me how easy it is Because I've had that in my camp box, but I hadn't really it doesn't take that much room So but how easy it is to pack the essentials you really need because whenever you go away. I discovered that in Texas I you know discovered whenever you're off your routine your skin kind of like reacts differently and even though I'm camping I'm still using my retina. I'm still using my skin care Treatment, but I'm thinking now What am I gonna bring with me to Canada because here's the general gist of what we're gonna do and poor Jay Doesn't know all of it yet, but we're not taking the motorhome. So we're gonna have very limited space we're gonna be in the car and We are probably gonna drive either take the ferry over to Nova Scotia from either Portland, Maine or St. John's I think that's a new Brunswick, Canada and head over or we're going to drive the car all the way over the reason we're not taking the motorhome is because A number one the the fuel is gonna be very very costly and we want to go in places in Canada that a big 40-foot Motorhome is just not gonna work or fit for us So we're just gonna rough it in the car. I plan on and I kind of mentioned this to Jay a little bit I plan on checking out one of our tents that we have when when Jay and I started camping eons ago We were tent campers That's how we started and we bought this amazing two-person tent. It was a tent for all extreme weather conditions It was designed to hold up in high winds and rain and you know Zub zero degree temperature the reason we bought that tent is because we're avid kayakers And we wanted a tent that would hold up to the extreme weather when we paddled to little islands and popped our tent up so Yeah, we are crazy and we must have thought we were robins and carousel or something silly like that Anyways, we spent a lot of money for the tent and we used it just a little bit One time that we used it as we flew to Florida We packed the tent we packed our sleeping bags a little air mattresses and other essentials that you could bring on plane And we flew to Florida we rented a car We went to a grocery store bought a cooler bought those little propane tanks the little tiny ones and then we bought food And we drove to the Florida Keys and we actually pitched our tent on the beach All along the Florida Keys. It was like the most fun fun vacation that had to have been maybe 15 years ago or something so we were pretty old when we did it But we loved it. So I want to do something very similar when we go to Canada. He's not fully on board yet So what I'm thinking I'm gonna do is we check out the tent when we get home make sure it's still okay and And then we'll have we'll stay in a couple of you know air B&Bs We'll stay in some some places like that along the trip But I think it'd be kind of cool to pitch the tent in a few spots and rough it but so I'm really really I don't even know why I'm talking about that now probably because I'm in the motorhome and I did a face mask and I was starting to think what can I pack cosmetics wise skincare wise that I Will have room for you know in the motorhome. This is a 44 rig I could I can bring a lot of stuff when it comes to cosmetics and skincare Even though half of what I bring your makeup. I don't use when I'm camping But when I'm in the car, I'm gonna have very very limited space and it just got me to thinking about staying on my routine what I can pack and Actually got me very very excited about the thought of doing the tent camping again So so we'll see so when Jake gets back to the motorhome We may go out who knows it's raining kind of blah but most likely we'll be Planning a little bit. We'll talk more about our canate Canada trip new Brunswick, Nova Scotia, the Cabot trail I would love to both of us would love to go to Is it Newfoundland? Newfoundland Newfoundland I'm gonna say it right And there is a ferry you can take over there from Nova Scotia, but it's like really long There's two ferries actually one is like something like seven or eight hours and others like 18 hours or something So I don't think it's gonna work out this trip because we don't have that much time But I'm really excited. It'll be the first time we have gone on a trip like that Without the motorhome Texas was different because when we went to Texas we went for a convention and so that was like a completely different thing and When we next year when we go to Las Vegas for the convention and then we were gonna fly to Falco's while we're gonna do a vacation in Hawaii. I am actually Thinking and maybe doing the same thing like we did when we went to Florida. I don't know I'd have to look and say I don't even know if this campgrounds in Hawaii, but yeah, so I'm rambling guys. I am sorry Well, I packed up everything I had to pack up And I'm leaving Jay behind. He's gonna pull out with the motorhome. We got the slide in we've got I've got all my kitchen stuff everything away and then Jay's gonna call Triple A and he's gonna get a trip tick because our Canada plans might be twisting a little bit and Then we are going to plan that trip full force. So I'm heading to the office He I'll meet him I probably won't meet him I probably won't see him until about 10 o'clock tonight because that's how long we're both working or he is working tonight So that's the scoop. Thanks so much for watching guys. I think I'm gonna end the vlog here because it's already at 20 minutes and I I don't want to bore you all to death and since I'm heading home from the beach The rest of the week will probably be a little bit on the low key work work work No fun fun fun. Oh, I yesterday was raining here at the beach and Jay said, oh, you want to take a ride up the coast? I said, yeah, but it's raining out. He goes, that's all right So we took her we took a ride up the coast. We ended up in man we ended up at the outlets and Bath shoe outlet or bath outlet or whatever it is They have like really super super comfortable shoes and Jay likes to buy his shoes there So, uh, we went in there and they had by one get another pair free Or you could get 40% off one pair So, uh, you know, I bought four pairs of shoes sandals That's so bad. See you next time I really hated pulling out and leaving the rig behind but we had a great couple of days and Ah So sad to leave but work calls guys. Thanks so much for watching
