 Hi guys! Sorry for the traffic noise. Hi guys, it's Monica. I said I'm never gonna do that again and I still did it. Anyways, so I'm a little late getting this video up. This was, this is the results video for my giveaway that I did on the Blink eyelash serum. I had posted that video and I said the contest was gonna run till Saturday night. Well, it's Saturday night. I actually did a random picker and selected two winners. So, two winners and I know I never said I was gonna do two winners, but I selected two winners and it's kind of really funny because one is a content creator and one is not a content creator, so I thought that was a really good balance. But I'm gonna insert that clip in a little bit. But before I do that, I do want to mention a couple of products. This was actually sent to me and I actually talked about this while I was away camping. This is the Caviar Resort C texture. This is the texturizing spray and it's from Alterna. This was sent to me for review. I started using it. I still have, I mean I haven't used a whole lot of it, but I started using it at the tail end of my vacation in Barhabara. I was using it for a week and I really was liking the puffy-ness that I can get with it. But with my straight hair, I needed to do something a little bit more than to just use this. Unless I was just gonna sit by, you know, the ocean outside the camp ground. I'll put my hand under a ball cap. It wouldn't have mattered. So, what I was doing was using some Velcro rollers and then spraying this in and it really gave me a lot of, I think a nice, you know, for me, for my hair, a lot of nice body. So, when I got home, I started, I used my electric curlers and I had bought this spray. This is Kendra, the Thermal Styling Spray. I, I so apologize. I cannot remember who talked about this, but I know I saw this initially on a video that I was watching and I thought, wow, I needed to get it because it's thermal for the styling and I thought this might work really good for the curling, either the curling iron or the curlers that I use. So, when I got home, I would start to style my hair. We do the puffies and, you know, I would end up putting the rollers in. I sprayed the thermal and this really gave it, if it was really careful, it gave me a good amount of lift. The next day, I just used this. So, I would just put this back in my hair. I put my head upside down and I'd kind of like, you know, put it around really, really close to the roots, dry hair, really close to the roots and I got, I got body back. You know, this was after sleeping on it. I only used the electric rollers on the first day with the Kendra and, and I got body back. So, I just wanted to give that update. Yes, I still stay, say, if you have shorter layer, thicker hair, this thing is going to be the nuts for you. It really is because it's going to give you some really nice of a room, but if your hair is longer, straighter, no curls, you, this is not going to give you the lift and the curls that you might want. This will give you a lot of texture in your hair, make it so your hair is nice and fluffy and, you know, Jake can run his fingers through it as I said before. He likes doing that, but you still might need to use something like this, like I do. I really am loving this stuff. I wish I could remember who, who mentioned it. The other thing that I picked up, I had asked my hairdresser. I was out of my topic and that was initially sent to me and I did a review on it. It was sent to me via the Octolene Network and I really, really liked it. Then I went and I bought a smaller one and then I ran out of that. So, I sent to my hairdresser. I said, you know, can you pick this up because she might have been able to get a better price at her, you know, hairdresser beauty supply places than I could say at Sally's or, you know, Ulta, of course. So, she said, sure. And she actually got me the X Fusion. This is not, my camera's going to focus, but this is not the exact same one that I had before. Same company topics, same idea. This, this has, my glasses on. This has the creatine hair fibers and it does the exact same thing. You sprinkle it in and it fills in, it gives the illusion of thicker hair in my opinion because it fills in what might be skimpy scalp or bigger part or something like that. So, I love using this. So, what I've been doing, I've been washing my hair. I've still been doing my hair oils, my serums. The whole time I was away, I haven't had a derma rolled. I derma rolled when I came back, but I kind of splacked off on that when I was on vacation and certainly when I was in Canada. So, I've been using my serums, my hair serums and all that. And then when my hair is dry in the morning, I'm going to style my hair. I'm either going to use this depending on, you know, what I'm doing with my hair or I'm going to do the hot rollers and put the Kendra in and then style my hair and spray this. So, I usually just kind of sprinkle this on lightly. Not, not a whole lot. But I'm telling you guys, I mean it's pricey, but I really like it. And I really like the topics when they sent that to me as well. I thought that was really awesome. So, I really like that and I really like this. So, these two things they paid for, both of them are on the pricey side. I'm loving them. This was sent to me. This is a really cool option, especially as I said, shorter hair. And I'm loving that as well. So, Jay and I came home from vacation and we were leaving by harbor. Here's a little clip of me standing by the rocks and I'm just kind of like scanning, looking up at the motorhome. And you know, it was like the day we have to pull out. Always, always, always a sad time. We really have water on three sides of our campsite. So, that's really cool. The only place we have other campers is on the far side, the street side. It's just an awesome place. So, we it was kind of a kind of an overcast day. And I always get anxious when we leave. So, if you've been following on my Instagram story, probably some of you already know this. But I get very, very anxious because we're driving a huge, huge rig. And you know, people like to cut in front of motorhomes and myself, you know, maybe the same way. I'm thinking, you know, I can't see in front of this big rig. I want to get in front of it instead. So, anyways, sure enough, Jay goes to the dump station and I'm getting out and I look and I see. We had, we spent a fortune on brand new tires. A fortune. And I'm looking and I see in the back, one of the back tires, because we have like six tires on that thing. One of the, on one of the back tires, I see this kind of like a, like the only way I can describe it is this bubble in the bottom of the tire hanging out. And I'm like, holy Mack, I'll show it to Jay. He checks the pressure. The pressure is like way down. We pull over to this little spot. We're still in the campground and the owners of the workers, they set up an air pressure thing and they pumped us enough air so we could get on the road. It was a stressful ride home because we kept monitoring the tire. We never lost air. We got home. We brought it immediately to the tire place. We called them so we were coming in. They couldn't look at it right away. It was in the middle of a horrible, look at the cloud. It's a horrible thunderstorm as following Jay. And we finally, we left the motorhome there. They discovered the problem. There was something stuck in the thing that the valve. I can't really explain it. But anyways, it was all taken care of, but it was still a stressful ride home. So we came home and we were home. We came home Tuesday night, last Tuesday night and jumped right into a work week. And Saturday was my dad's 90th birthday party. And I have to insert some of these photos for you to see. My dad, you know, his health isn't the greatest lately. It was just really super awesome. I especially love this picture of myself with my two boys and my mom and dad, my youngest son, Michael standing next to me. He's got the lighter, blonder hair. My oldest son, Marty on the other side of me has the beard and my mom and dad sitting down. And to me, this is just an extremely rare photo to have me, my two boys and my parents all in the same shot was amazing. My oldest son, Marty, is not, he does not like the camera and he hates it when I aim it at him. And all his life I've aimed the cameras at him when he was little. So he rebelled when he got old enough. But yeah, so and then there's a couple of other shots here. My dad with his cake and, you know, and this other shot I really like is Jay and I and the boys. And it was just, it was a fantastic day. I really, really, loved it. I was so happy that his 90th birthday. So both my parents are 90. My mom is not a fan of the longer hair. Some of you know that I had my hair fixed, I think pretty good for the photos. You can tell me when you look at the photos and she didn't complain. She didn't say anything. Maybe she just knew not to say anything. I don't know, but she didn't say anything. So that was, that was pretty, that was pretty good. So I am going to insert the clip of the, the winning, the drawing of the winner. Oh, and before you do that, I probably kind of look amassed because I've been working all day and I didn't sleep last night. I think I woke up like 4, 4.30. I tried to get back to sleep. I really couldn't. And then when I got up this morning I was doing stuff around the house and I actually fell tripped over a cord. It was like unbelievable. So, so I apologize for being kind of a rambling mess right now, but I wanted to get this done and I wanted to share some of these pictures with you and show you my winners. You just grab your link and I went on to this picker site. I've used this before. I think the reason I like using this site is because it's pretty. So anyways, I put in the video URL and then I went down to, you know, where they could randomly whatever and you can see all the comments coming through like 150 unique comments on that video and unique in the sense that none of them are mine because I said I wasn't going to answer. So I knew everyone picking most likely would want to win the blink and the first person that won my lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely good friend Carol from The O'Carroll Show and I was absolutely thrilled when I saw that she won because she's an eyelash person just like Minks. So I just thought it was like really super amazing when she won and I knew it was going to draw too. So I just went back up and redrew, put the URL back in and did the whole thing, went through, got 150 comments and it was Misty Marshall. So like, yeah, I'm like so excited. So Carol from The O'Carroll Show, I know how to reach her and we do talk. Yeah, so I'm not worried about reaching her. Misty, you need to please let me know your mailing information and all of that stuff so I can get the two bottles of blink eyelash serum out to you and Carol, you're getting two bottles of blink eyelash serum as well. Just thank you all so much and thank you all so much for all the wonderful wishes from my dad. They're truly, truly appreciated. So that's it for me and I can't wait to hear from Misty and from Carol and get them their blink. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye.
