 Hey guys, it's Monica. Thank you so much for joining me. I'm going to actually share with you in this video some products that I used on my recent vacation and then I'm also going to enclose some clips of the trip. Many of you know we went to Bar Harbor, Maine, and we camped by the ocean so it's my happy place. This trip was a little bit more difficult because of the recent passing in July of my father and I knew that when I was coming home I was going to be coming home and facing a memorial service where I had to write the eulogy and of course deliver it and I never in my wildest imagination ever thought that that would be something that I would have to do for my dad and I thought maybe while I was in Bar Harbor I would be inspired by the beauty of the area that I was in and I would be able to do put pen to paper so to speak and and talk about my dad but I just couldn't. I saw my dad everywhere around me. I would be looking at the beautiful flowers in downtown Bar Harbor and I would breast into tears because I just imagined my father how much he would have loved them and I envisioned him tending his and the same thing with the ocean in front of my campsite so it was just it was it was a wonderful trip in many many ways it was different because it was extremely low-key and it was a time of deep reflection for me so if you're interested that in the products I use for 10 days. Stay tuned guys thank you so much for joining me first off I tried not to pack a lot of makeup and I didn't want to spend time wearing a lot of makeup. I brought two wigs I bought a bunch of hair scrunchies one that I have in my hair and I have another one I love these scrunchies you know they've got the little they're like sort of like an invisible Bobby and you can put if you have really thick hair they're awesome if not you just kind of like double it and it works just as well and I usually put like a clip so I and then I just bought a little bit of makeup so so I'm going to stop by actually telling you about the the hair bubble I'm going to turn around so you can actually see it in my hair and you can see that I kind of like this is sort of like at the end of the day and this is sort of an everyday look for me I kind of twist it up and because I have really skimpy hair I usually have to double the I usually have to double around you know to get it to stay in or I squish it like this I do it the long way I pin it and then I just put a clip now the one that I got this was actually sent to me actually from hairdo and this is their pop this is their wavy wrap this was sent to me via the Octoly Network in Exchange for review I have this in butter toast I have this in butter toast I bought many of these over the course of time so I knew I would love this but what it was really interesting on this one is that it had less volume than some of my like this one has a whole lot of volume you know it had less volume and I thought this would be perfect for a really casual like no I don't know casual look so that's what I did you can see that the big clip takes up most of it my hair is super short so I have to put little combs on the side but I absolutely love love love my wavy's now you can get these in Alta I don't know you probably can get them in Sephora I'm not too sure where else but hairdo I got this by the Octoly Network you can get it on their website these things are just amazing and they are so easy to make a you know your hair look good you just twist it clip it and boom you're ready to go the other thing that it was super impressed with while it was up there was mercy handy had sent me via the Octoly Network three products to review and I took advantage of taking them with me one was their hand sanitizer they have a hand cream and then they have a deodorant I'll tell you I was deodorant every day I love it has a very very light fragrance not not heavy overwhelming this is actually a very light formula it says here it's designed we've designed the new generation of deodorants no alcohol no and I always butcher this a little aluminum aluminum aluminum aluminum and no paraben so this is a really really nice and say it's squeaky clean I would have to agree but it was also packed a powerful punch because I felt really good I felt fresh I was outside every day we were walking in the park we were on the ocean we were out and about I thought this did really well the other thing mercy handy sent me was their their hand sanitizer this has some cleansing this has like some cleansing bombs or gels and it just really really left my hands some hand sanitizers leave my hands feeling so super dry this did not I really liked it and the next thing was this amazing little cream that they sent flower power they've added small emollient pearls they say I like the screen this cream ended up being super super nice I used it probably every day while I was away so those three products sent to me complimentary from mercy handy I thought they were they were fantastic absolutely loved them the other thing I wanted to mention was that because I really didn't want to I didn't want to go away and carry a lot of stuff with me I had an unopened mascara it's superhero that I had bought probably quite a while ago and I figured you know I'm just gonna take one mascara I haven't used the it's superhero in quite a while because I've been using the essence and then I have a bunch of different miscaras that have been sent to me for review that I've been using so probably haven't touched the it's superhero probably in about four five months to be honest with you I took this with me and you know sometimes when you don't use something and then you go back to it after a while you remember why you loved it so much oh my gosh through tears through sun through 90 degrees through saltwater through waves this mascara held up and this is the one I brought with me used it every single day purchase this a number of times and I really really like the superhero the other thing was on my lips so I was sent two lipsticks from Becca one quite a while ago and this is the orchid orchid orchid but this is one of their lipsticks and I have talked about this for any for a dark lipstick this is about the only one that I really like I love this lipstick when put it on my hand so you can see it very natural looking even though it's a dark for me recently I received this from Becca by the Octaely Network and this is their plump and smooth new Hydra light up lip balm and it's like a pinky color but it's a very sheer pink and I've just been topping I've just been topping this and half the time I've been wearing this totally alone so these are the two lipsticks that came with me I did have a few others in the motorhome I had my remote number 45 and you know those but these are the two that I used this one actually every day sent to me complimentary from Becca via the Octaely Network in exchange review and I must tell you I love it I love it on my face the entire time on my face was my number seven I didn't bring any other foundation this was it boots number seven protect and perfect 50 SPF I you know when we first arrived up in Maine it was really really hot and sunny and even though I had a hat on I tried to really protect myself I felt super protected having this on I would put this on in the morning sometimes if I was going out again later on I might touch up wash up but in general I put this on in the morning it would stay put all day even after I added sunblock on top of it which I did I would have my Australian gold and I would just put it right on top of it it worked perfectly for me this I talked about before because this was also sent to me this is the billion dollar beauty this is the flash and filter highlighter and concealer I like this a lot so you've got a little bit of a highlighter not very super bright it's gonna look brighter on my hands you probably can see but I did around my eyes or little places that I just wanted to have like like on my non-existence cupid's cupid's butt oh whatever it is I really like this and the other side is the concealer and I'll show you this I can see the concealer I hope you can see that so you can see the lipsticks and the concealer this concealer was awesome that this is all I brought I didn't bring any other highlighter any other concealer this was just it I used this the entire time held up beautifully I thought it looked really beautiful and that's basically what I used for makeup my entire time now not counting eyeshadows that's me another story I did I did bring some eyeshadow but you know mostly it was really kind of low-key and we did we did a lot of hanging by the campground we went and explored a couple of places it was just beautiful so I'm gonna close some clips of when we arrived so you can see what our campsite is like and you can see some highlights of the 10 days we were there I hope you enjoy we arrived just gonna put up our screen protectors that's why the ladder is there but that's our front view this is our side view and the tide is out so when it comes in it goes right to the edge of our property line so we're setting up of course when you live in you know a camper for ten days it's a little bit more crowded but you know there's a little back stretcher blankets but this is not quite high tide tide's going out comes in just a little bit more but you can see our yard Jay's feet off by your pit and over the last 17 years this tree has come and gone a couple of times so Jane I opened Bahar Haber main and I was gonna do some vlogging while we were up here but then yesterday we went down to Bahar Haber proper the town and walked around there and I didn't take a darn picture at all so today Jay's golfing I don't know yet what we're gonna do this afternoon that hurricane is coming I guess up the I-95 corridor and it is going to probably affect us here later today and into tomorrow but we are like right on the water's edge the tide is actually I believe going out and when the tide is in all these rocks are buried right up to our campsite and it is just it's our favorite spot it just really is so I don't know you know I've been like really trying to take care of the first few days that we're here was super super hot I mean super hot and sunny and we we don't have a lot of shade on our campsite so I was really struggling to make sure I didn't burn I didn't want to get an instant image and I'm like okay you know so I I found myself using you know the same face products the same sunblock the entire time which was okay you know obviously but I'm gonna try to put together little bits and pieces of the trip into this vlog and also little bits and pieces of you know what I've been doing for my skin and all that I'm gonna turn around so you can see my motorhome behind me the edge of the rocks right here I don't think see where the grill is but the edge of the rocks on this side is where the tide actually high tide you can actually see the seaweed I think it goes right up into the rocks so it is pretty well when it's high tide none of these rocks are visible they're all covered it's pretty well a true waterfront site without a doubt the beautiful beautiful waterfront site so anyways I don't know what else I'll be adding to this but I'll add clips as the week progresses thanks so much for watching guys and this is me walking down the road in the campground heading towards my site you can see the water and you can see the green motorhome that is actually our motorhome sitting there and that's my car and kind of give you a perspective of what my campsite is like and I'll tell you every single day it looks a little bit different it's just a gorgeous gorgeous spot and like I say over and over again we just come as often as we can because we love it so I haven't shared much with you because we haven't that much it's been sort of more of a wedging wedging wedging out type of a trip and you know sometimes I think you just need to do that I think this is our either 18th or 19th year coming here so we're never in a rush to go see anything now because I think we've seen it all there's the motorhome behind me you can see how truly waterfront we are and as the tide comes in it's going to fill in right where I'm standing so it's really cool here we love it beautiful that's our favorite place even when we don't do anything and last night the hurricane came we got these storms from it but it wasn't bad it was just really windy heavy rain but it was nice it wasn't that I was really worried that it would be you know back Western Bay so we are at Scootick there's Jay on the rocks Vegean and it is beautiful it's it's the tide is going out so it is decidedly for sure undramatic but oh my gosh we've been here when the tide is coming in and the water just breaks over these rocks incredible over here to our three o'clock is a very beautiful yacht called KISSES it's not owned by the guys that owned their overseas I asked they told me no I think it's a huge missed opportunity personally but it is a $25 million yacht if anyone's curious so I told me that today and I was like well that's something I'll never afford no it was where the Richard Famous of the time would go and sit and have some drinks especially during this fun thing called prohibition well the very Richard Famous at the time said prohibition man it's not for us so they would go there and talk about the other manly isn't it the same thing 11 and after about an hour and a half of sailing out we made our way back towards Bar Harbor in time to watch the sunset over the western sky and oh my gosh it was so beautiful so beautiful to see that big big ball of Sun just kind of sink in the horizon all the times we've gone to bar harbor we've never gone out in the boat we've never taken a sunset cruise so this was the first for us and we'll definitely do it again the boat ride was fantastic it was affordable and it was so much fun they gave us a lovely tour of bar harbor from the water from my Acadia from the water it was gorgeous but look at the sunset isn't that amazing it was so so nice and after a while we just continued to make our way back into court where we docked our boat so we're heading to go get an ice cream you scream ice cream the ice cream so last day and we are going to be doing ice cream for lunch lobsters and steams for dinner here is the fruits of our labor thanks so much for
