 Well, hello and welcome to a vlog. Don't worry, it's not vlog-est, okay? Okay. It is about 1.30. I am headed to the Minnesota Summer Planner event. This is a paid-for event, so I paid... I can't remember how much it was. Hmm. I don't know. Anyways, it was a certain amount of money, and we do two paid-for events per year. I'll put the Minnesota Planner Facebook group below if you guys are interested in joining us. But we do one in the winter and one in the summer, so this is the summer event. I'm super excited. We are going to Stillwater to the Tilted Tiki. It starts at 3 o'clock. I live pretty far away, which is why I'm in the car right now. And then after that, we are heading over to Wisconsin to one of the members' houses for some fun. Some people are sleeping over. I'm not sleeping over because I've got like sleep issues and still got a headache and whatever. But anyways, I have a bag back there from the container store, but nothing is actually from the container store in there. Typically, I like to give swag if I can. I am not a sponsored shop or anything, and I will be doing a dedicated video maybe after this, maybe before this. I don't know of all of the fun swag that we get. The Planner community is awesome and always donates some amazing things. So anyway, this is what I am giving out. It's flattened right now, but it's just a little bag. I got it at the Dollar Tree, and it says on there just a little something from favorite daughter Emily. I got the labels from erincontern.com. So let me show you what I am giving everybody a little later today. All right, so I am giving everybody an erincontern sticker sheet. I figured these would be fun because, you know, they've got multi-colors and everyone loves a little gem in their life. And a little quote on there says, make your own, or sorry. And a little quote on there says, make your goals crystal clear, which I thought would be kind of fitting for, you know, a little advertisement for my channel. And then everyone is getting an erincontern dual tipped pen. And then I'm also went to Trader Joe's the other day and got these like really delicious caramels. So everyone's getting two of these in their bag. So it's just a little fun little thing from me, but I figured I would show you guys what I gave away because when you see this, the event will obviously be over with. So and like I say with all of my little planner events, I don't like to put people's faces on camera that don't want to be on camera. So I'll do probably some overview shots and I'll talk more about my experience unless someone says they want to be on camera. So I am going to get going. It's time for me to start driving and I will see you guys in just a second. Are you excited? Okay, so I made it to the meetup. Kayla. Hi. Hi, internet. Hi, internet. So it's my table of peeps. It's like a wall to the interwebs. We got some delicious food. It's Jody. Oh, sorry. Boo. Boo. Boo. And look how beautiful. My name's on there. So cute. Anyway, we are going to let the planner thingamajig commence and I will just keep checking in and showing you things. Oh, just got this. It's a little bookie marky thingamajig. I'm pretty sure. Yep, from Chrissy Andeson. I will be showing all the haul later in another video, but yeah. All right. Bye-bye. So Kayla and I went off the beaten path to get some shakes. I got strawberry banana. What did you get? Peppermint bun bun. Yum. We both got burgers, but I got mine weird like I always do. No bun. A tomato on the side. It's a pickles. Yep. That's my life. Okay. So I'm in the car sitting in traffic in downtown Stillwater. I'm currently following Kayla. I'll put her Instagram down below. It is at minifora. So we've been having fun. Went to go grab a burger and a shake, which you guys just saw. And now we are headed to Libby's house, which I'll show you in a minute. I'm using like maps on my phone and the proper way to get to Libby's house is not showing up. But it's showing up properly for Kayla because she's using like Google Maps or something. So anyways, I'm following Kayla. And yeah, I am super excited. There's going to be a ton of swag and I'm going to show off as much as I can. I've gotten some people's permission like my table that you guys saw earlier to show their faces and you know have them say hello and stuff on camera. So yeah, but I'll be showing like overviews and stuff like that too. Anyways, I'm going to put this down and we are headed to Libby's and I'm so excited because we get to see all the swag soon. Alright, I'm finally passing out all my swag that I showed you guys earlier. So I'm literally standing at the top of the stairs waiting for people to come in. So Jess had the same idea I did. So we're sitting like at the top of the stairs and giving everyone our swag. Anyway, I will link her sticker shop down below. She runs design pandemonium with her sister so I'm going to link her shop below. It's been a while since I have vlogged. It is currently 2.15 in the morning on Sunday. I just walked Joel and I have my bag where, right there, there's still stuff from like when I moved, okay? Don't touch me, alright? So that bag is full of planner swag. So I know I didn't vlog a lot, but you know, I like to have my experience and then I like to talk about it and stuff too after the fact. Doyle, get out of the swag. Get out of the swag. He's very curious. Also, there is a little jewelry thing and it's northbound star. I will show you guys what I got when I do my haul and yeah. Also, there's this cute little like citrus pencil pouch. There were a couple of different color options, but I decided to go with the yellow. You know, classic yellow, like a little lemon. But yeah, I had an amazing time. It was so much fun. I left about, I don't know, I think like 12.30, maybe 12.45-ish. I finally pulled out of there. And it took a really long time to get home, but there was a lot of fog too. So the drive home was just that much slower because, you know, you can't see anything in the fog. You know what I mean? I had a great experience. It was so much fun. Libby, if you're watching, hello and thank you so much for hosting. It was such a great time. Your home is lovely and I couldn't think of a better place to do this planner summer event. So it was just really, really fun. Got to see a lot of familiar faces and also got to meet some new friends, which was awesome. So that's always really fun. But all in all, it's so much fun. I will leave, I don't know if I said this before, but I will leave the planner, like the Minnesota planner Facebook page down below if you guys want to join us. Oh, I should mention Libby, I post this on my Instagram. If you guys don't follow me, my links are always below. But Libby painted my nails. It's a really pretty color. I can't remember offhand what it is, but hold on. Let me check my Instagram because I wrote it down because I know I was probably going to get questions. And I'm like, I have no idea. Also got a lot of compliments on my top today. It is from Nordstrom Rack. I don't know the brand of it, but it's cute and it was like on clearance. So the shimmery color, whoop, there we go. The shimmery color is called Diamond. She said it was like an indie nail polish brand called KB Shimmer Nail Polish. The white that I got done also is by that same indie brand as well. But I mean, she's got like walls and walls of nail polish kind of like gave me flashbacks because I used to be that person too. But anyways, had an amazing time and I can't wait to share more if I don't on this video for any reason. But it's friggin late. It's now 2.20. Been rambling on for a little too long and it is time to go to bed. So yeah, I'm going to close out the vlog here. Thank you guys so much for watching. Can't wait to share more soon. And oh, let's do a dwell cameo since he's here. Hey dude, what are you doing? Where are you going? Where are you going? What are you doing? Why are you up so late? Why are you up so late? Why are you up so late? I don't think he understands why he's up so late either. So anyways, but yeah, I'm going to head out and go up the stairs and go to bed. I'm so freaking tired. But had a great time and I can't wait to go to the next event. I feel like these kind of vlog videos when there's something like actually interesting going on in my life. Feel free to give this video a thumbs up and I might vlog a little bit more in the future when things like that are happening if you're interested. Also, feel free to subscribe if you haven't already. I am here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with food content at 9 a.m. Central Standard Time. But I am going to leave. Puppy is drinking, which means that there's going to be an early rise tomorrow or actually today because he's going to need to go to the bathroom. So whatever. Okay, but I'm going to go. I will talk to you guys very soon. Bye guys. Well, I know I stopped the vlog, but I'm restarting it because I am in the parking lot of Aldi and I am a total dumb dumb and forgot my freaking planner at the planner event. We did a photo opportunity with like a whole stack of planners and I just totally was a space case and forgot to take my stack out of the planner stack. Oh my gosh. I realized this after I closed out the vlog at like 3.30 in the morning and then posted on like the event Facebook page and I'm like, I'm sending out an SOS for my planner. And I remember having a conversation with a gal but I could not for the life of me remember her name. I'd seen her at a couple other meetups, I think. And I've seen her like comment and you know, I've commented on her stuff and everything in the group and I remember having a conversation with her because she's like, oh, you live in Cambridge. Like I live in Princeton. So we were like talking about, you know, which way we go and like all that stuff because we live quite a distance away from Wisconsin and Stillwater where we were yesterday. So anyways, I'm like, I remember there was a gal that lives in Princeton but I'm not sure if she stayed overnight and she ended up actually staying overnight. And I just met her and I have my planner now in my hand. So thank you so much to Jen. You're amazing. You're a lifesaver. I would have driven all the way back to Wisconsin to go get it today but this actually worked out perfect because like literally my town in this like main road that's like right in front of me here she takes to get to her town because her town's like, you know, about, I don't know like 15, 20 minutes west of me. So she was driving through anyway. So it's actually ended up working out perfect. I was like, let's meet in the Oli parking lot because then you can get right back on the highway and then just keep on going. So I didn't want to make her come all the way to my house or anything because it's like kind of out of the way. So anyway, but yeah. So now I'm closing out the vlog portion of this video and I will see you guys later. Bye.
