 guys welcome to my vlog it's been a long time I'm going to try to do try to do this vlog and kind of give you sort of an update on what's going on and all of that as I am traveling to Vegas so Jay and I are leaving in to Vegas it is currently it is March 2nd you believe it's March 2nd already and Jay and I heading out to Vegas in two days we're going out there for our Berkshire Hathaway annual convention and we are also going to be doing two days up in the Grand Canyon before convention so I'm like super excited about that because neither one of us have been to the Grand Canyon at all so that's going to be like really excited the major dilemma for me is going to be sun protection I've been using a new tretinoin with hydroquinone and it is really really lifting my skin it is really causing me to peel and I want to make sure that all that skin underneath is protected so trying a couple of new things I'm going to show it to you this is the mineral mineral ocean non-greasy and it's the 50 SPF botanical botanica I love this this is tinted I have been like on a hunt like what can I wear underneath this there's something better than this what can I try I tried this and oh my gosh this is the Shashado I don't even know if I'm pronouncing it right this is the sport BB it's got a 50 SPF it's tinted I got this because my very very good friend Sheila life with Lily raves about this and a number of other women have raved about this as well but Sheila said give this a try so I bought this and I also bought the regular Shashado sun block this is I think this is 50 I could wear this alone or over my makeup and all of that stuff so I went to the outlet store the bare minimums outlet store and this is where I bought both of these so you know they they're a little bit more pricey and macy's obviously but I really wanted to protect my skin I also ordered the color science the puff with the powder so I ordered that and I would have that because Marlene fab and glam over 50 talks about that one a lot and she lives in Florida you know so she's all about how to protect her skin as well so I wanted something that I could carry in my purse and not necessarily have to reapply necessarily with a cream or a lotion but to puff a powder and have some more touch up and coverage so she suggested that one so I ordered it I'm hoping I'm hoping it comes in it hasn't it hasn't you know come in yet but I'm hoping it comes in Monday or Tuesday at the latest because we leave Wednesday morning so I'm hoping it comes in now it's still I'm going to be using my Sarah V this is the 50 the lotion I like this a lot this has the zinc the invisible sink it's the face lotion I this this sometimes I get really red when I put this on so I have to be really really careful with this I also have a Neutrogena 70 clear that I'm bringing so that's kind of like what I'm thinking about bringing down to you know to Vegas if you guys have any suggestions just kind of let me know you know we are leaving in a couple of days and my plan is if everything goes well is to do this sort of like bugs vlog style so update you as I am progressing and I'm packing believe it or not and yeah I got my new luggage for my birthday but hopefully you all saw that and yeah so I've been packing and trying to figure out what to bring to Vegas and I'm so excited I've been to Vegas but Jay has never so and neither one of us have been to the Grand Canyon so I think that's gonna be really exciting really cool so I'm looking forward to that I am wearing my Raquel Welch wig flirt alert and I think I really like this wig a lot I like how it feels you know feels really really good I like that so yeah so that's scoop so far and I will touch base with you later happy Sunday March 3rd and today is kind of gonna be a really busy day for me we're going to a baptism and we're gonna be going down to Massachusetts and then I have to return a pair of jeans I bought let me show you the jeans I was so angry that I I almost just put these in the suitcase to wear in Vegas because I wanted a pair of glitzy kind of jeans and so last night when I was looking at them for some reason I just really looked at them because I was folding them up and I discovered the security tag on the leg and it was like oh my god so yeah we're gonna make a trip to Macy's which is not anything we had planned today at all and we have a storm coming tonight they're calling it a norooster do you remember when we went to Texas last year we had went before and one while we were out there which delayed our homecoming a couple of days thank you Macy's I don't know why I never I should have watched the girl but you know what and I'm paying attention to it and there it is I'm afraid to remove it on my own because sometimes there's ink in there and I got the slip so obviously I'm just going to make that trip return this baby or not return it but get them to take it off hey guys so we just got home I tried to I tried to rope Jay into doing a video with me the assumption tag so I don't know if I'm gonna actually publish it because it's it seemed rather corny I don't know but anyways I just wanted to kind of do a little a little different take on it so we had a great day we went down to Massachusetts and I'm gonna insert a couple of photos here of the we didn't go to the church for the christening so we just went to the house afterwards for a little bit of a lunch took mom and dad wasn't feeling well so he stayed home but took mom and Jay and I went down and it's just really lovely you can see mom holding the baby and then you can see me with my sister and my two nieces and my mom and the baby so it's just a really it was a low-key afternoon and then I did hit Macy's and they did remove that tag which is super super awesome so now tomorrow depending on the storm but I'm hoping that I can do all my final packing tomorrow tomorrow night of hairdressers appointment I don't know what to do with my hair I don't know well March 4th came in last night and it's going to snow all afternoon so it's been I worked from home all day but one of the really cool exciting things is I have been really wanting to try this new foundation this is the CYO I've seen a few reviews on YouTube and the reviews were not too bad you know mixed bag so I love my boots number seven lift and luminate foundation that's what I've been wearing the longest for drugstore I really like it the best on me and then I love love love my SD lotter double wear foundation that I got in the SD lotter is just it's it is really really nice but I was really curious about the the CYO so I tried to order it on my Walgreens website but they were sold out sold out and finally they restocked now they don't have it in the store so what I did is I ended up ordering there was a sale it was by they were $7 a piece by to get one free if you ship to the store you get free shipping and you can also do your eBates of course and then you get your Walgreens credit so so we did that and it came in this morning so Jay went and got it I have 107 106 and 104 I'm gonna insert the clip right here on my arm so you can see where I put the 107 the 106 and the 104 I think the 107 is gonna be closest to what I need for my skin but I'm not sure but I do think that's what you know gonna be the closest the 104 seemed awfully light I haven't tried it on my face yet but you know who knows we'll see the other thing I got in today and I had requested this from a Becca from the Octoly Network and this is in the shade Orchid actually have it on right now and I really like it this is a lippy that was sent to me from the Octoly Network free as you all know and I think it's really pretty I'm not a dark lipstick person but I'm like really digging this I really like it and I don't know if I can do this with one hand or not but I'm gonna try listen to this I just think that like so cute so anyways I got that in and I also got in just in time for my trip oh hold on I gotta go get it and bring it in prep is I'm so excited about this you do PS just delivered it and this is the the color science so I don't know yet you know I haven't even tried it haven't even opened it but I'm like super psyched because I wanted something I could put in my purse and then touch up easy enough for Sunblock you know Vegas the Grand Canyon for a couple of days before and all that I didn't want to you know especially with the new tretinoin that I'm using and super super peely skin super and then yeah I didn't want to run any risks wanted to hop back on here before I took all my makeup off I went to hear dresses and she cut about two and a half maybe three inches off across the bottom and then she gave me a bunch of different layers so and then she she she gave me a really straight do and then she put the curls in it so I kind of I kind of really like it and I'm just hoping that I can fix it myself as good so but I do I like it what do you guys think now I'm taking my makeup off good morning good morning good morning it is March 5th and as you saw in the previous clip I had my hair done last night cut and then all I did this morning it was really wild all I did this morning I sprayed my living proof perfect hair day bodybuilder I bought this oh gosh it was before my niece's wedding and one of March who I think hangs out more on Instagram had recommended this so I had bought this and of course my hair was a little bit longer and I wore it up a lot but this morning all I did is I got up and I didn't even curling eye and I didn't do any at any more beachy waves I just kind of like sprayed my hair sure sure so my fingers then kind of combed it through and then this is how it came out I think it I think for a second I hear it held pretty good on my face this morning is the number 107 the CYO Foundation and I'll tell you when I put it on I had to build it up it's I think it's a much lighter coverage than even my boots number seven so I did have to build it up I did have to use concealer over my veins which I have to do all the time as well now I made a mistake and I used the matte setting spray which I don't like because it makes me feel dry so I'm going to see how this holds out for the entire day because you know we'll see I mean it's pretty reasonable and then on my lips this morning is the Becca lipstick that I had got this is a satin finish so I'm gonna top it off with a gloss because I really like that but this was the lipstick I showed you in the clip from yesterday and I still haven't done my color science so I get a check to my good friend Marlene Fab and Glam and I got to have her give me directions on how to use this baby before we head out of town so the plan is that we're gonna get on a flight really early tomorrow morning and then we'll be in Vegas probably 3 p.m. our time Eastern Standard noon time their time and we're renting a car we have that all set to pick up at the airport we're gonna be renting that car and we drive into the Grand Canyon for two days so I'm hoping to add a couple of clips to this and and then probably post this sometime as my first part of my vlog because the first few days in the Grand Canyon maybe I'll add some clips not a whole lot but and then Vegas for the convention so it should be fun it is oh almost bedtime not really so I think it's about six o'clock and we just finished dinner and I'm doing my final packing and so Jay had called me and he said you've got a package today so he said it's from that company that has sent you handbags so I was like oh so when I came home I opened it up this is from a Balonzo and I know I'm probably Balonzo Balonzo I may be saying it wrong I think I always say it wrong but the it's really awesome so it's sort of like a travel pack they sent a purse companions eyeshadow palette beauty blenders and moisturizing gloves I was like oh my gosh so this little cute little palette I haven't just watched it or anything like that and I haven't opened up the gloves but there's moisturizing gloves in here and that sounds heavenly and they also sent some earrings and a bracelet in here which is really cool but so I've been looking at they sent a I guess I guess you would I don't know I call it a fanny pack but it's you strapping around your waist and it's perfect oh it's leather it's perfect it's sturdy it's got a wide band I'm gonna show you I'm gonna turn the camera on really show you cuz it's really cool I mean look at these like amazing I mean I do you want to talk about a sturdy band it's got two zippered compartments now this compartment I have a really super big phone so my phone won't go all the way in here but in the center there's plenty of room for your money for your passport for all sorts of stuff in there and my phone and then another compartment here so you know maybe passport would go in here it's really this is really a cool fanny Welcome to Manchester Boston Regional Airport 438. Took you a long time I thought this view was so cool as we're getting ready to land in Chicago the city skyline and this was over and I think this was the Grand Canyon area and Arizona and this is actually really cool to fly over and watch it and then go visit it it was like awesome so we landed in Las Vegas and we rented a car it took a while to get our luggage and to figure out how to get to the car rental place at the airport you know every airport's a little different we had to take a shuttle to get our luggage and all that but then we rented the car and found our way out of Vegas and on the road to the Grand Canyon we arrived late last night and we were literally totally wiped out I mean basically took a shower and went to bed we were like exhausted from I think it was like from you know we landed in Vegas and got to the hotel it was but we stopped of course we had something to eat so it was like a six-hour adventure that just exhausted us so today we're heading out it's like what did you say Jay it was 30 41 degrees it's cold we don't have any winter clothes with us so Jason we might have to go get wool hats I'm like nah no wool hat so we've totally trashed our hotel room but the hotel room isn't isn't bad at all it really isn't two queen-sized beds and a little balcony so if I was a smoker I'd really love that balcony because I'd go out there and smoke but I'm not a smoker anymore yeah so I don't know we're gonna head out have no idea what the day will run but we are in Arizona Arizona how cool buy something to put over my ears because it's amazing views I had to get this thing my ears actually really warm surprised they said it was too they said and then you can put it in over here and keep yourself really super warm so we walked a couple of miles in total and literally as Jay said it you walk five steps and you just won't believe the views and so I just went off the path here and you know I mean this is kind of like a rough terrain and brush all around but when I got to the edge and there's like no railings there was nothing at all on the edge here but when I got to the edge I was like mesmerized one thing I discovered is that the camera does not do it justice at all it was just incredibly phenomenal and the views just never ended love this wood huh he hasn't kissed me in the grand kids so Jay and I had the most phenomenal two days it's been absolutely incredible I was gonna end the vlog with the grand kids but then I realized I had to really say something more because none of my photos none of the videos none of the photos Jay took none of them show how magnificent how unbelievably beautiful the area is and it reminded me so much these last two days and I'm an outdoors lady I love walking at the beach I'm a beach baby so to me this is like cold snow stuff like that it wouldn't be normally what I would anticipate that it would love so much but just to see the beauty of Mother Earth how magnificent the whole area is to think about our national parks and all our national resources and it's just overwhelmingly beautiful here and I'm so glad we did these two days we had these two days together and we just enjoyed it was very simple we were it was low-key we did a lot of physical activity we walked around a lot we exhausted ourselves a lot but it's just unbelievably beautiful and I'm gonna treasure and I know Jay it's going to treasure every moment of the last two days so I'm filming in my bathroom in the hotel it's late we're exhausted and we're gonna leave very very early tomorrow morning so we're gonna get some packing done tonight we're gonna leave very early tomorrow morning we're gonna head south we're gonna head towards Vegas so we're gonna go through Route 66 probably Moseon I don't know what we'll see there and then we're gonna stop at the Hoover Dam and then we'll be into Vegas and Jay will drop me off at the hotel he'll go return the car then he'll uber back to the hotel and convention life will begin for the next few days so I will probably do another vlog sharing some of that but I just kind of wanted to end this vlog just by just by saying to every single one of you you know take every moment you can to really appreciate the world you live in and the times we live in and appreciate the people in your lives you know treasure those moments and if and if you can't go away and you can't afford to do certain things there's so many things that you can do that free that you can treasure just treasure every moment and spend it with your loved ones and you know don't stress over the stuff you can't change you don't stress over that don't stress over all that just look at the world around you it's beautiful it is beautiful and I wish that my pictures or Jay's pictures and the videos could actually capture how absolutely incredible this whole area is and it can't it can't so I guess yeah I just want to say thank you so much for watching I know it's a long vlog and I know you know
