 Hey guys, it's Monica. Yeah, it is a rainy drab Memorial Day weekend here in New Hampshire. I don't know what the weather's been like for you but I'm filming this on Memorial Day because Well, it was a wacky weekend So if you're curious Stay tuned So Memorial Day, right? You kind of think about Memorial Day as being sort of that kickoff or a summer At least I always have so it's always been sort of a bittersweet time too because yes I'm excited because summer is here and oftentimes we're camping. We're away from home and relaxing but some were at the same time because You have to always bear in mind all of those people that sacrificed For us so that we can enjoy what we enjoy every day and my brother many of you know is a 100% disabled Vietnam that I am his guardian. I take care of him and I always am mindful of the sacrifice he made For us for our country for us people so that we could continue to live free at least Hopefully we can continue to live free anyways Yeah, so Memorial Day, you know a time of celebration, but a time of deep reflection and this This Memorial Day has been totally Totally different because the weather has been really awful. We haven't even gone camping. None of the camp grounds are open Nobody can find help believe it or not. They can't hire help To run some of the campgrounds at least the state parks. They're just They can't find help. They don't have any help to keep them open So anyways, I could go on a huge rant, but I'm not going to so what I'm going to share with you in this video Is a couple of things that I have been gifted that I bought that I've used that I've Rebought that I loved so I'm going to try to keep it brief. I know famous statement, right? I'm going to try to breathe keep it brief. First of all, I Had an episode with my eye I have dry eyes, you know, and I suffer from in one eye where I have Just it's just an ongoing issue. I've been doing eyedrops. I've been doing, you know I masks I've been doing all sorts of different things that I could well today I went to put the eye drops in my eye and I poked myself so bad in the eye that I just I Just started crying. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't see what I was doing and I just poked my eye deeply and It was it was awful. So anyways, I could my eyes look a little wacky now because it's been two two and a half hours and I've been just trying to Find my balance with my eye the way it is. It's so frustrating But anyways one the thing that I want to show you right away because I absolutely love this This is a bag that I ordered and I had custom made. I love these whimsical characters I mean take a look at Jay calls this the big bum bag because all these ladies have exaggerated Anyways, I had this custom made I think it's so when whimsical it is so awesome I absolutely love it inside. It has a couple of pockets This is deep enough big enough to hold my laptop for work my makeup my sneakers so I can if I ever get Into the right mode that I can actually go for walks at work. I love this bag I had this made custom made for me from the bag lady. I lean the bag lady. She is on YouTube on I'm sorry. She's on Facebook and Instagram. I will link her information below But I bought this bag and I originally seen one very similar very whimsical slightly different Characters or design my lean fab and glam and I loved it I said I kind of get myself that bad and you know what I really love Supporting small businesses whenever I can and I just I just fell in love with this. This is not the cutest. I Love this so I bought this. This is my purchase this month that I love And I'm really so happy I did one thing that has been sent to me and that I have actually tried and talked about in the past is red light therapy and you know masks face masks so this is from the best life company and this is like therapy at home and There are seven different color modes to this mask I could not believe it. There's red. There is blue amber purple green light white light Light blue light and all of them target different areas. So there's several different modes on this mask Including one that massages your eyes, which I was like. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, that's out of your eyes and the more I read it I wanted to be sure number one because of the dry eye Could a mask harm it, you know, would this be something that could harm my my eyes or make my eyes worse But all the research that I've been able to find is that this actually is good for dry eye Who knew I didn't so anyways when they reached out to me. I said sure I would try this They have sent me another mask in the past This is one that you could charge and walk around and do things with this particular one You do have to be tethered you have to be plugged into a power source And then you can switch it on and you can have the different modes it comes on different colors And then even the vibrations and also on a timer So you can I don't forget here this That's the vibration It's on a timer and you can put this on and you can fall asleep if you want which would be a little bit uncomfortable But you could now you can see when you have this on you can actually see Because they have very cushioned very sanitized iPads here. I'm just gonna a little makeup on here But you can actually see and you could do things if you wanted to but you'd have to be tethered to your power source So for me, this is this forces me to relax So I've been putting this on in the blue light for the anti-aging And then I do the massage at the same time from my eyes and I Absolutely love it. I know that at-home light therapy you can do your research. You can check it out I'll give you all the information below, but I know at-home light therapy can be quite costly and As it is if you end up going to you know, if you go to a spa or you go anywhere and you have professional Red, you know light therapy done on your skin. I do believe in light therapy especially for collagen production and things of that nature, so I Love this. I I can't I tell you even though, you know, right now. It's on sale It's a little over a hundred dollars a unit like this on sale regularly It's over 200 and it's it's adjustable. It's super comfortable You can wear this like for 15 or 20 minutes a day You can switch between the different modes if you want. I I would highly Suggest whether it's not this one or another one and I've used this is probably my third different eye mask not I mass Sorry, my LED masks that I've done and used on my skin. I Highly highly suggest that you find when you like if not this one another one, but there's huge difference in how Your skin is when you are on a regular in my opinion routine with this So I love this mask again. I'll leave all the information Below LED Photography mask rejuvenation with eye thermostatic So there are mom a thing with I with I'm just gonna say with eye therapy because you know me I can't pronounce these words Anyways, really good stuff. I'll link all the information below one thing I wanted to give you an update on Was and I will enclose a picture how I keep this this is one of the eye masks that I use This one was gifted to me from Mavogal. They reached out to me and Gifted this to me right about the same time as I had been diagnosed with with the dry eye Now I have an eye mask that I purchased and I put it in the microwave. It's little beads I've actually talked about this because I think I've had this now for I think since February And I have it hanging as you can see here on my bed post and that night this is it's an electric mask It does have two different heat modes and it has a timer as well So it shuts off after an hour, I believe and it just is super super nice I put it on and sometimes I get up in the middle of night. I'll go to the to the restroom Restroom the bathroom and I come back in and I put this on and I just let it go for the hour I fall asleep. It just soothes my whole eyes. I absolutely love it I probably use this every single night in bed. I am going to be purchasing. These are very affordable I'm gonna be purchasing a second one because I want to keep one in the motor home If we ever get to go camping But I want to keep one in the motor home and one in the house I like to do that with things that I use consistently because I don't want to have to go back and forth and and carry in and carry out and all of that Update on my apple cider a gum many gummies apple cider vinegar gummies Anyways, this is the gummies I've used I've talked about this in the past This was recommended to me from Sheila life with Lily. I really like this apple cider vinegar gummy I this is empty. I have three more that I bought I buy two at a time Jane. I both use this we use two in the morning. I drink a lot of water two at night I'm not going to say this is helping me lose weight, but it's helping me I think it helps my gut health. It helps me feel fuller faster So it does have some appetite control aspect to it for me anyways And I love it highly highly recommend it tastes really good You know what? I've had apple cider vinegar that I've tried to swallow or mixed in and it's a gag It just makes me gag but this has a combination of sweet and a sour but very mostly sweet and I chew these gummies up and it's Oh, I forgot is it a thousand milligrams, but two of them or something like that. I chew them up. I have water. I Really like it. So this is the brand I use This is the brand I have repurchased and will continue to repurchase Really good stuff and I'm enjoying that. I have been doing intermittent fasting I've only probably lost about six pounds and and that's okay I mean, I'd love to be able to lose all all the COVID weight I gained but I know that you know what it's just not going to happen that quick at all and And I'm okay with that the other thing I wanted to tell you about is My helium hair This is the fiber flex Multifunction, this is probably the second maybe the third I Don't know if this is going to pick it up Can of this that I've had now I have never seen helium hair in The stores I haven't I've seen it on their website only now I buy the helium hair I really love this this when when I'm doing my bio hair and I spray this into my hair This gives me for a thin-haired gal. This gives me amazing Amazing amazing volume. I absolutely love this. This is hands down my number one And I've tried tons. I've tried tons that were gifted to me from octally I have all sorts of different sprays that add volume add texture I've tried them all but this one and one other one Which happens to be living proof and this is the perfect hair dry, right? This is the bodybuilder the perfect hair dry bodybuilder. I Love this and this is the one where you have the adjustable nozzle. It can go light heavy This is what I'm using currently. This is probably my fourth Bottle of this it is pricey. I look for it on sale. I buy it on Alton only when I have a coupon And when I have the 20% off and I want and sometimes, you know Not all the coupons work for all the different products, but I only buy this on sale Every now and then you can catch this maybe at a TGM apps or a Marshall and if you can Yeah, get it because that last one I got was at Marshall's and It's 1499 for this and I think it's maybe 1899 or 24 something like that in Alta So if you can catch this on TJ Maxx or Marshall's buy it I love this so I always look whether I need it or not I always look in TJ Maxx or Marshall's every time I go in there for this because hands down. I Love this. This is my number one. My number two would be my helium fiber flex This is also expensive, but this will last me a lot longer than this does So these are my two and I Know exaggeration guys. I have probably tried 20 or more in the last year or two Most of them that was sent to me complimentary that I'd like that has given me some volume But it always go back to these and this is what I spend my money on because my air These actually work They actually really work. I love them and I couldn't tell you which one I like the best to be honest with you They when I spray these in and I push my hands through my hair. I get like whoa amazing amazing volume Love it. So this is empty. I will be buying another one again This one the only place I've ever seen it Has been on their website I've never seen it anywhere else if you guys have seen fiber flex anywhere else in the store. Let me know I have not but I do love it. So that's always been Yes, that's a yes for me Vitamin C's now I'm gonna do more of a full review on the truth The truth treatment systems because I do have their vitamin C. I have their hyaluronic acid I have a little tub a very very very moisturizing bomb. Oh my gosh is that stuff heavenly and this is their Mist this is their mineral mist, which I completely used up and I also Before I started the truth truth treatment vitamin C. I finished up my Timeless and my matrix all I have not bought these yet re-bought this. I have another bottle of this in my freezer and I think in the big yellow the new container But I've not repurchased I am using a peptide that I get from the ordinary rather than the matrix all right now And I'm just going to go through those products and use them until I make a decision But the truth treatment the vitamin C It is the texture is Thick and that was a super surprising to me because I am so used to My vitamin C that I get from timeless and I have vitamin C from a few other companies as well And I have some really expensive vitamin C But the truth treatment vitamin C's tiny little bottoms bottle super super thick and you mix it with them the mist now I use Use another mist because I'm all out of this I just use any kind of a mist on it just to to get the moisture and then I put it in the vitamin C I'm almost done. I will tell you I love it. I love it Have I noticed a super big difference between that and any of my other vitamin C's? To be honest with you, no, I haven't But I love how it goes on And I love how it feels. I think it's probably an amazing amazing product I'm almost done and then I will do a full review on how I how I feel about it But like I said, I have a number of different vitamin C's other than they're all much more watery The the vitamin C's at least the timeless have always really liked and they placed really nice with my makeup now the truth treatment Plays fantastic with my makeup and then many of my other vitamin C's do not So to me that's a measure of something because I use my vitamin C in the morning only I don't use it at night so Anyways, this is empty. I didn't buy the mist all over again. I'm just using an other mist and You know and I in like I said, I'm I'm using a peptide From the ordinary so I'm going to wait a while before I've reordered my matrix But I've always loved matrix all and the matrix of 3000 serum I know I will buy this again, and I probably will my timeless vitamin C Again as well. So that's a few empties a few things that I thought I really wanted to share this bag with you because I Don't know, you know just so cute. Don't you think this is adorable? I absolutely love it. So Anyways, I'm not to share when this is going to go live. I'm going to try to get it edited It's been a funky weekend. Like I said, we thought we were going to go away We ended up not going away rained all weekend. We did have company We kind of tried to camp in our backyard, but that we got rained out as well And I said to Jay well, you know, it's kind of a good thing that we didn't find a camp spot because we would have Been like kicking ourselves spending money camping in the rain. So I Don't know guys. It's just just like anyways That's it for now. I I've been bored with myself lately, you know, and When I get bored with myself, I'm like Everyone else is gonna be bored with me too, and I don't want to just do a video to do a video You know what I mean? So and sometimes I know my videos don't have a consistent theme Like I don't always do empties. I don't always do this or that This is sort of a mixture, you know stuff that that I like, especially that bag is so cute I really love it, but Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if it's just me going through a little bit of a Thing, but yeah, I'm a little bored with myself And I hope you I hope I don't bore the heck out of you guys either and sometimes I think YouTube can be boring Because I look at it and go, huh? Same old same old same old. I don't want to be the same old same old But I know I am at times. So anyways, thank you so much for hanging in there with me And I will talk to you all later. Bye. Bye
