 getting ready for the day and get ready routine is always adding some perfume and I just ordered two new kind of summer scents fresh fruity scents for summer from dossier here are the two fragrances I ordered I have actually shared dossier so many times here on my channel I love their perfume they are a replica company so they replicate high-end perfumes and only charge you 29 to $39 for the replicated perfume and I've also shared time and time again that for me the smell really really close if not an exact dupe to the original and the price point is so much better the longevity is amazing they last on the skin all day long so I decided to treat myself to a couple of fun new fragrances for summer dossier makes a great gift I mean the packaging is super super cute the bottle is in the box and then there is a card that talks about the perfume what rep what high end fragrance it replicates what the notes are the concentration and how dossier works I will link dossier down below for you guys with 10 off and they usually have some type of discount or sale going on their website so you can piggyback discount so you can use the 10 percent down in the description box alongside any other discount on their website so you can say 20 30 even 40 off of their fragrances so I want to share with you the two that I picked up we'll decide which one I want to wear today so the first one is the powdery orange flower and this is inspired by Valentino's Vox Viva OD perfume one thing I have to share with you guys is the magnetic lid on these is so nice because you can throw these in your purse the lid does not come off and you don't have perfumes spilt all over your purse which I very much appreciate so the powdery orange flower inspired by Valentino's Vox Viva OD perfume has top notes of mandarin bergamot and ginger so kind of those fresh scents for summer middle notes of orange flower white flowers and gardenia and base notes of vanilla tonka bean and muska muska so this is going to be kind of a warm fruity scent with a base note of vanilla the Valentino perfume smells so good but it is so incredibly expensive oh my gosh that smells so good in it you guys this is the Valentino perfume I smell the vanilla I smell the fruity notes and then I smell like that back back end of musk oh my gosh it smells so good and just like the Valentino perfume I just couldn't bring myself to purchase the Valentino but when I saw that dossier had replicated of course I had to pick it up and the other fragrance I chose was fruity jasmine and this is inspired by Dior's J'adore OD perfume we know how expensive Dior is I mean Dior is expensive if this smells like the Dior perfume I'm going to be really excited because it's a great scent for summer your top notes are mandarin green leaves and sweet pea so this is going to be a little bit sweeter scent which I love for summer your middle notes are jasmine lang lang champagne and peach base notes are sandalwood plum and musk so this is going to be kind of a sweeter fruity scent with that musk base I'm really excited I have a feeling this is the one I'll wear today oh my gosh wow I love this this is so summer this is summer in a bottle there is fruity there is sweet there is a very very very very very hint of musk but it is definitely a more sweeter fruity or smell I feel like with the neon shirt and neon pants I have on today we're going with this one wow I'm in love this is so good it's fruity it's sweet it's floral this is really good and this is also very similar to the Dior if not a dead on dupe to it oh my gosh yum I'm smelling really really good right now I'm smelling good I'm ready for the day I will once again link dossier down in the description box for you with 10 off and don't forget you can piggyback that with any other discount on their website I love dossier and I feel really good that I treated myself to a couple of summer fragrances we're now in the car I had a really really good workout it was rough I was just not very motivated today I think it's just a mix of coming back from vacation and it being Monday and being just kind of tired and worn out from my trip not that I didn't get a lot of sleep but we did a lot of activity I was anywhere from 14,000 to 20,000 steps a day we hiked we worked out at the gym we did lots of shopping which involved lots of walking so I think I was just a little worn out from my trip but I walked to the gym did my strength training and walked home so I'm super proud of myself for that I did go ahead and get ready for the day and I'm I just got to Tucson to do a couple of errands I purchased a pair of really cute bright neon yellow green tennis shoes from Steve Madden I don't know what it is about neon but I'm into it wearing a neon shirt today I bought neon shorts I just am loving neon I'll pop a picture in of the shoes that I bought I didn't do my due diligence of reading the reviews and the shoes run really really small I could not even get my whole foot in the shoe which is the normal size that I wear so I had to drive to Tucson to a specific place to actually return the shoes so I'm here to return the shoes I have to stop by the post office and mail my giveaway prize to the winner in my Facebook group my spring challenge if you didn't know I offer a paid challenge every three months or four times a year in my Facebook group it's just a really great way for accountability we do weekly giveaways we have monthly challenge topics so I have to mail off the giveaway for that Troy is actually going golfing he's well he's not going golfing he's going to hit some balls with his dad today so I need to get home in time for him to head out to do that but I'd like to stop by Ross because I need to pick up a couple of things for my kitchen or I'm hoping that Ross has the couple of things for my kitchen so we'll just kind of see how much time we have I did finish my coffee this morning I will go ahead and down in the description box just list out what's in my coffee it's my normal coffee that I have every day I did pack some water this is my new lululemon water bottle that I bought from the lululemon store in san diego I'll fill you guys in a little bit on my trip and pop some pictures in but I'll link this water bottle down below best water bottle I've ever had I don't know what lulu magic is in this water bottle but the water tastes better and Rachel my best friends had the same thing that she feels like the water just tastes better in this bottle and the ice that I put in this bottle yesterday morning at the airport was still in there this morning so it keeps your water nice and cold so I brought that and then I brought a snack this is the p3 snack that you guys saw that I picked these up at walmart in my grocery haul this is the turkey colby jack and almonds 160 calories and 11 grams of protein so a great snack and the almonds in here are roasted so they're really really good so I'm going to munch on that on my way to the post office from this pack mail pack mail packet ship it create it freight it store that I'm at to send the shoes back I always make a stop over at the dog toys because they always have such affordable ones don't sleep on dog toys and treats at Ross so I placed an online pickup order for Duncan I feel like I need a second coffee I have real estate class later this afternoon to as well as just a really busy Monday from returning from vacation so I ended up getting a medium sized cold brew with the sweet cream cold foam and two pumps of sugar-free vanilla so I'll put the points here on the screen for you I have a pickup order for Jennifer Clayton okay thank you cheers I'm home let's get our treats you ready oh easy buddy easy D so good boy easy not good girl let's do a little Ross haul so what I went to Ross for initially was a container like this for my fiber powder I actually have been using a fiber powder in my coffee I haven't reviewed it or shared it with you guys yet because I want to make sure that I like it and I've only had it now for about a week or so and so I picked up one of these little OXO containers for the fiber powder the one I bought is in a huge bag and it just takes up a lot of room in my cabinet this by the way was 899 and then Troy had asked for some sunscreen this is actually the Hurley brand sunscreen and it was 399 it's SPF 50 I did buy some spray sunscreen at Costco and he didn't love it so I picked this up for him since he's been golfing a little bit more with his dad and then I decided to grab a new bottle for my avocado oil and I really like this one because it actually closes completely it was 99 cents that's an incredible deal my other bottle isn't the best quality and the stopper at the top is really loose so it drips when you pour it couldn't pass it up for 99 cents and you already know that I can't go to Ross without stopping by the clothing section they had some really good things so first I picked up this Coke shirt for Troy I thought this was really cute you guys know his obsession with Diet Coke he loves having just graphic teas to wear since it's hot here every day and then in the clearance section for five dollars and 50 cents I found this long line sports bra this thick band around the base is so nice this is such good quality and I absolutely love the little strappy design in the back five dollars and 50 cents always always check your clearance section at your local Ross also in the clearance section for $11.99 look how cute this is you guys this Michael Kors tank top it's just solid in the back this was $11.99 so when I was in San Diego we went to the Michael Kors outlet mall actually let me show you the purse I bought and I bought this beautiful purse I love the color you can see this is one of the colors I'm really gravitating towards I have quite a few things in this color in this little Ross haul but I picked up this Michael Kors purse for $149 which I thought was a really really good deal I just love the really pretty vibrant coral color while I was there they had a pair of Michael Kors shoes they were $90 and they weren't even leather and then there was a dress that I thought was really cute almost $200 so the fact that I found a Michael Kors tank top that actually matches my purse for $11.99 at Ross total bargain all of the shirts that I picked up are in a size large so also for $7.99 this is just a really cute tank top that same fun coral color and I love that little open design in the back $7.99 is a great deal and then lastly this was a killer deal in the clearance section last for clothes not last for the haul $10.99 I picked up this super cute Calvin Klein top look at this little bow off to the side it actually zips up in the back this is so cute it's just a sleeveless little top I just love the detail of the little bow here and I like that it's just a little bit higher neckline Calvin Klein $10.99 then last but not least as I showed you guys I never ever walk by the pet section without checking it out I got all three of these little dog babies for $6.99 they don't have stuffing they only have squeakers if there's any stuffing Palmer plex it immediately so I'm hoping that these will last a little bit longer and really a little over $2 a piece is a steal so that is my Ross haul so I'm going to go ahead and make myself some lunch it is about $11.30 I've got my coffee and it's time for some lunch so for lunch today I'm having a wrap this has been one of my all-time favorite lunches lately it just keeps me nice and full and I'm able to get in some good protein for lunch so I'm starting with one of the mission carb balance wraps and then for my condiment I like to spread a wedge of the garlic and herb really any laughing cow cheese this is a great option because it's low in points low in calories but it serves as both your mayonnaise and your cheese or your condiment and your cheese so I like to use it because it saves me points and calories it tastes really good and it's nice and creamy I like to spread it over the entire wrap so every bite has a little bit of that cheese and then I'm going to use the great value thin sliced turkey breast and I'm going to add six slices total and then I have a couple slices of the fully cooked bacon left over from a recipe so I think I'm going to add some bacon to my little wrap today and then I like to just top it with some green leaf lettuce and then go ahead and roll it up I also like to kind of cut my wrap in half I feel like it just helps me eat it a little bit slower but look at how delicious that looks this has really truly been one of my all-time favorite lunches and then I'm going to have a serving of these these are the I want organics protein puffs this is the caramelized onion you guys you guys you have to get these these are so good they really remind me of like a cheeto puff their texture and their consistency they're so crunchy and they have seven grams of protein per serving and three grams of fiber they're so so good so I'm going to go ahead and weigh out 28 grams which is a serving so here's my lunch doesn't this look incredible I'm telling you these wraps they're so easy high in protein and just a really really good lunch I found the protein puffs at sprouts but they're probably sold at multiple stores 10 out of 10 highly recommend those so I'll put calories here on the screen for my lunch I'm super excited for my lunch this like I said it has been kind of a go-to for me I feel like it's light and cold and fresh on a summer day and lots and lots of protein especially adding in that bacon I've actually never done that before so I'm excited to see what flavor the bacon gives it the bacon's really good and gives it a nice crunch speaking of crunch seriously so good such a good lunch so I wanted to sit down and talk with you guys for a few minutes first I want to tell you about my little vacation to San Diego I'm going to pop some pictures in here as I talk through what we did on our vacation and then I want to talk with you guys about something that's kind of been weighing on me over the last few weeks and while I was on vacation this transpired a few other times and I feel like it's something that needs to be talked about and addressed so let's go ahead and start with the fun part of going on my vacation to San Diego if you didn't know my best friend Rachel lives in San Diego and we like to see each other a few times a year she actually drove one of our vehicles to Arizona for us if you remember from our moving vlog and her and I just planned a really exciting trip to Hawaii in September we're actually going with my mother-in-law my mother-in-law was heading to Hawaii for a wedding and we thought that it would be a great time for us to go to Hawaii to hang out with her and just of course go to Hawaii so we're headed to Kona the big island in September chances are I will vlog that trip because it is just such a big and exciting trip but I did decide not to vlog my trip to San Diego it was just a couple of days and I really just wanted to be in the moment and enjoy my trip my husband actually took me to the airport so I didn't have to drive myself and pay to park my car I didn't leave until the afternoon on Thursday June 2nd so I worked a little bit in the morning headed to the airport the first thing that I had to do was take my airport selfie this is something that I've been doing along my weight loss journey to kind of track my progress between the last time I was at the airport and now so you can see a huge huge difference in this selfie the picture on the left was actually from January and the picture on the right of course was from my trip to San Diego it's always nice to see that big change in my body and how much smaller I am in literally just about a six month period once I got to San Diego we made a really quick trip to Sprout so we could pick up some healthy snacks I grabbed some protein shakes for my coffee in the morning some cheese sticks because you know that's one of my very favorite snacks and then we just went back to Rachel's house and sat by the fire outside and it was just really nice we just kind of talked and caught up with each other Rachel actually has a roommate named Kelly who has also become my friend and then Kelly's daughter Cassie her 17 year old daughter is my friend as well so I just kind of caught up with them and we just sat and visited and then we headed to bed pretty early because Rachel and I got up at 5 a.m on Friday June 3rd and went to Planet Fitness and we worked out I walked on the treadmill I did my weight a strength training routine from my fitness coach and we really just started our day off on the right foot we went home after that we made some coffee I was able to get in my protein shake and then we headed to Julian California now last time I was in San Diego we also went to Julian and it was during the fall season and it was just so much fun it's such a pretty little place it's a very quaint town and they decorate for all of the holidays so it was great to go in fall so this time we actually went and had some lunch at the miners diner which is the same place we had lunch at last time we were in Julian then we did some shopping went to their local candy store and then finished our little trip to Julian out with a slice of apple pie I actually got the sugar-free apple pie I only ate half the slice and gave Cassie Kelly's daughter the other half of the slice and it was so good you have to have pie when you go to Julian California but I wanted to be on track stay on track make good choices so I opted to just have half my slice and share it with Cassie unfortunately Kelly wasn't able to join us in Julian because she was working we came back from Julian got ready and headed out for dinner I wore a brand new little leopard dress that I picked up from Cupshe I actually ordered a couple of bathing suits from Cupshe and I needed to get to the minimum for free shipping I hate paying for shipping so I added this cute little leopard dress on and I love it it is really cute it's on the short side I will say but it was very comfortable and very very cute so I wore that out for dinner to a little pub called Urge it was Rachel Kelly Cassie myself and my friend Robin hey Robin one of my subscribers who's become my good friend who also lives in the San Diego area so we all went and had a really nice dinner we were there for a good couple hours and we talked and just caught up I gave Robin the biggest hug before we left and I wish I could have spent more time with her but of course I was grateful that I got to see her on the trip and then Saturday morning again we got up bright and early right around 6 a.m and we headed to Torrey Pine State Park Rachel and I the last time I was in San Diego hiked this trail and it was really hard for me this I've lost at least 50 pounds since the last time we hiked that trail so I was anxious to see how I would do hiking up the really long hill to the trail and then taking a lot of the trails they're absolutely beautiful they all have ocean views which is what makes this such a great place to hike you guys I did I did incredible on the hike my heart rate never got above about 120 which is great when my heart rate last time was in the 180s I wasn't out of breath it was much easier for me to hike and I felt like I really got to enjoy it more this time because I wasn't stressed out of breath tired sore I really got to enjoy the hike there was some just beautiful ocean views along the way and of course we had to snap a picture of Kelly Rachel and myself at the top of the hill on the trail with the ocean in the background it was wonderful we hiked for about an hour walked back down to our car and then we headed to a little coffee shop called Phil's their coffee is delicious and every time I'm in San Diego I have to get coffee there so I got coffee and I got breakfast and then we headed home got ready and then we went to the outlet malls the premium outlet malls this was the first time I've been to these particular outlet malls they're right on the border of Tijuana Mexico and they were fantastic I bought a new purse that I shared with you guys in the Ross Hall I bought a dress from guests a sweatshirt from the Columbia outlet I bought a few things from the Bath & Body Works outlet a lotion and some plug-in sent things for my house and then I bought a really cute pair of tennis shoes from the Nike outlet I tried to be mindful at the premium outlets because after that I went for my first experience of the Lululemon store I've never been to Lululemon I just didn't want to spend a lot of money on workout clothes before I got closer to my goal weight I really wanted to wait until I was about the size that I was going to be or the size that I was going to stay before investing in clothing from Lululemon because it's not cheap it isn't cheap at all I actually spent about 300 dollars at Lululemon but I picked up the outfit that I'm wearing today I'll go ahead and pop a picture in for you guys the neon yellow sports bra the tank top and then bright blue leggings I will say that these are some of the most buttery soft comfortable leggings I've ever had in my entire life they were well well worth the money you're looking at about 88 to about 130 dollars for a pair of leggings which sounds a lot but Rachel told me that she's literally had Lululemon leggings for 10 years and they look brand new so I thought that I would treat myself and invest in some really nice pieces of workout clothing this yellow tank I'm wearing I ended up getting a blue one pretty similar to the color of my pants that was on clearance for 39 dollars I couldn't pass it up and then I also picked up my water bottle that I shared with you guys as well it is the best water bottle if you get anything get the water bottle like I said I don't know what it is about it but the water just tastes really good and it stays nice and cold all day long so we spent the entire day shopping I had 16 17,000 steps we went to a flame broiler for dinner which is a local place I got a half and half with chicken beef and vegetables skipped the rice just to watch the carbohydrates it was delicious went back relax headed to bed and then in the morning on Sunday Rachel took me to the airport it was really good it was just really nice to see Rachel Kelly and Cassie we had so much fun shopping and laughing and just enjoying ourselves we also drove around La Jolla which is a very fancy area in California by the beach we found houses up to 50 million dollars which just blew my mind we were just driving around sightseeing we just had such a great time so if you're watching Rachel and Kelly thank you for an amazing amazing trip I love you both so much so now I want to talk with you guys kind of have a heart to heart with you guys a little bit over the last couple of months and really the last I would say like two to three weeks on my youtube channel on my instagram in my facebook group my facebook group I've been getting a lot of comments about my makeup and not nice comments now I will say that there are nice comments I do get a lot of nice comments about my makeup but I've really been getting a lot of comments about how they I wear too much makeup they don't like how I do my makeup I need to wear lighter eyeshadow less is more that's a comment that I've gotten a lot and I want to tell you guys just a couple of things first of all I love makeup and I will wear whatever makeup I want to wear if I want to wear a ton of makeup I'm going to wear a ton of makeup if I want to wear lighter makeup colorful makeup neutral makeup it's my choice and remember makeup washes off at the end of the day so really what someone wears as far as makeup or clothing or how someone does their hair or really someone's appearance in general number one is not your business and number two it is not your place to comment if you want to say something nice say something nice but if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all it is completely 100% inappropriate and rude to comment on someone's appearance again whether it's makeup clothing their hair whether they're skinny or overweight it is inappropriate rude and none of your business to comment on appearance and it's really really been bothering me over the last couple of weeks and while I was on vacation I actually received two separate comments one on youtube and one in my facebook group about my makeup and how they didn't like my makeup and how I wear too much makeup it actually makes me really mad more than it bothers me because it's not appropriate and I can guarantee you that you would never ever ever come up to me in real life and say comments about my makeup and say that you don't like it or that I wear too much or it's too colorful or whatever you would never ever come up to someone in real life and say that so don't do it on the internet even though we choose to put ourselves out on the internet we don't deserve negative rude condescending inappropriate demeaning comments about our appearance so I wanted to talk with you guys I'm sorry I'm getting a little fired up about it because it really really makes me mad I would never ever ever comment on someone's appearance if I didn't like someone's makeup or someone's hair or someone's clothing I just wouldn't do my makeup that way or wear my hair that way or buy that piece of clothing I would never ever ever say a comment about it to that person because it's so incredibly inappropriate so I just want to put an announcement a PSA out there that the next time you want to comment on someone's appearance please think twice about it whether it's on the internet whether it's in person wherever the person is that you want to comment on just think twice about it because it's really not your place to comment on someone else's appearance cheers to that let's get into an afternoon snack so I'm going to make an afternoon snack and I'm going to start with my final rice cake in this pack I actually just bought another one of these packs in my grocery haul these are the sprouts brand of the organic rice cakes the brown rice these are my all-time favorite I love the size of them they're literally the perfect size for nut butter and to no surprise to anyone I'll be using my American dream nut butter I actually just ordered three more flavors because that's how obsessed I am what's great about this nut butter is all the mix-ins this is the yapa-dapa delicious peanut butter it has little peanut butter chips and crunchy bits of chocolate cereal and like Reese's pieces in there so good and what's even better about that peanut butter it's less calories and points than traditional peanut butter this one's 150 calories for two tablespoons and it has nine grams of protein I just love that there's some texture to it so it's not just nut butter there's actually some texture which just really like elevates the nut butter it's so good this one is a peanut butter they have almond butter cashew butter they're all absolutely incredible like I said I just ordered three more containers so I'm going I'm going to tar this out and I'm going to do one tablespoon which is 14 grams of the nut butter and then I'm going to just spread that out it's like the perfect afternoon snack can you see all those little Reese's pieces yum and then I am also going to have one of my organic valley cheese sticks this is literally my favorite afternoon snack I get lots of protein some carbs some healthy fats and then that butter this is actually a very well rounded snack very well rounded because it has all three macronutrients which is ideal for all of your meals and snacks so I'll go ahead and put the points and calories here on the screen and of course I will link the American dream nut butter down below I do have a discount for 10% off for you I can't recommend it more someone likes their new baby is that your new baby baba that's your new pumpkin yeah you take a nap with your baby okay you take a nap buddy I love you I love you pumpkin just sitting down for a four and a half hour real estate class we do it on zoom which is kind of interesting because we get to be at home at least but it's long four and a half hours is long for dinner tonight I am making spaghetti carbonara I'm really excited for this it sounds really good more on the lighter side for the warmer days so let me show you what's in our recipe first you're going to need pepper salt minced garlic or fresh garlic you'll also need some parmesan cheese bacon I'm just going to use the fully cooked bacon because I have it on hand you can use center cut bacon really any type of bacon fresh or dried parsley a couple of eggs and of course spaghetti look at this snazzy new packaging from fiber gourmet you guys know fiber gourmet is our all-time favorite pasta it has 48% less calories than traditional pasta so it actually only has 110 calories versus 200 and 10 calories in regular pasta so it's three points instead of six points it also has 24 grams of fiber which is almost all of the fiber that you need in an entire day which is 25 grams and 17 net carbs it also contains seven grams of protein per serving I love love love fiber gourmet the taste the texture everything about it is a million out of 10 I do buy it off of nettrition I'll link nettrition down below for you they have the cheapest price and the biggest selection because they do have several shapes spaghetti elbows rotini and penne I have all the shapes we love them and I really love the new box packaging so I'll be using fiber gourmet pasta in tonight's dinner recipe so the first thing we're going to do is bring a pot of water to a boil and we're going to add in our fiber gourmet pasta and allow the pasta to cook while the pasta is cooking we're going to crack two eggs into a bowl and half of a cup of parmesan go ahead and whisk that together I'm also going to add my garlic to the egg mixture if you are cooking your bacon go ahead and add the garlic in with the bacon but since I use pre-cooked bacon I'm going to mix it into the egg and parmesan cheese mixture once your pasta is finished cooking grab out a little bowl and just steal a little bit of the pasta water you won't need a whole lot but go ahead and grab some pasta water and set it aside then we're going to drain the noodles turn off the heat and return the noodles to the pan to the pasta we're adding the egg parmesan cheese and garlic mixture and then you want to stir that in right away now if your eggs don't cook by adding it to the hot pasta go ahead and turn back on your heat and make sure that you're stirring consistently until you see that those eggs are cooked so you can see that my eggs are kind of that scrambled consistency that's what we want in the pasta then we're going to add four slices of our crumbled up bacon and we're going to add in that reserved pasta water until we have the right consistency for the pasta and last but not least we're adding salt and pepper and then stir it until fully combined and then we're ready to plate it up for dinner and here is the completed pasta I am going to throw a bag of frozen broccoli in the microwave as well alongside the pasta but here is what the spaghetti carbonara looks like it actually makes five servings so you get a pretty hearty serving of the pasta with the fiber gourmet pasta it's only five points so not bad at all there's bacon there's cheese there's pasta so this along with some steamed broccoli is going to be tonight's dinner it's dessert time and while I was in san diego we actually went to julian like I mentioned and I bought these chocolate mint covered almonds and we all munched on these while I was in san diego and I have six of them left and this is going to be my dessert tonight they're really really good the coating on these is really thick you can see all that minty chocolate goodness and the crunch of the almond it's like a andy's mint with an almond crunch super super good so six of these little babies is my dessert well that's a wrap on today's what
