 think I'm going to try to vlog again. This seriously has I have like tried since gosh since December. I think I've tried like about four times to do a vlog. I would stop the vlog. Sometimes I would add some clips and then I would delete it because I thought it's done. I thought it was boring. But I'm gonna go ahead and start this because I'm cresting on my birthday week and Jay and I are gonna be going away. He has surprised me although you know I'm such a nasty snoop. I know what it is obviously. So he has surprised me. We're gonna go away for my birthday and I'm gonna vlog it. So this is the start of my birthday week vlog. I'm gonna be 66 in a few days. 66. Oh my gosh. So now I need to make a decision about do I want to collect Social Security? Do I want to wait till I'm 70? I still don't know what to do and I don't know how much time you have after your birthday to make that decision. So maybe making no decision is the decision I need to to do right now. I don't know. But anyways, yes have joined me on my birthday vlog guys. I don't know where this is gonna bring us but I will be adding pieces to it and you will eventually see it. I'm gonna talk a little bit in the vlog too about you know my makeup and stuff like that. So it's not all just gonna be action and adventure and fun stuff. I'm gonna talk about other things too. So hang around. So I'm standing down by the edge of the ocean and across the way is Martha's Vineyard. You'll be able to see it shortly. Right over there is Martha's Vineyard. We're staying in Falmouth in down at Cape Cod in Falmouth, Massachusetts. And as I pan here, this big red house is the main house. A little tiny red thing is where we're staying. That's our Airbnb and next to it is like the big mansion. But I wanted to show it to you so you could see what it looked like. We drove down yesterday and we made pretty good timing. Road down wasn't half as crowded or as busy. The Born Bridge was pretty easy to get across because normally like in season that would be like notorious. So that was actually pretty easy. And the last night we went to dinner in this little tavern right in Falmouth. We're in South Falmouth. So it was went to dinner in this little tavern and we just took a picture and we just had it. It was just a very low-key birthday dinner on my birthday weekend. It was Valentine's Day so we went early so we could avoid the crunch because you know we didn't have any reservations. The views here are unbelievable. It's a really beautiful view. The unit itself needs a little bit of renovation but the views are wonderful. The location is wonderful and it's cozy. You know it's just really cozy. So today I think we're heading up to Hyannas Port and then we're going to make our way hopefully up to the p-town up to Provincetown. So it should be a fun pill day and I'll take you along with me. And this is almost to Race Point Beach and you know as soon as we started to get closer to p-town you started to see a lot of sand, sand dunes on the highway. It's just amazing. It is such a beachy nautical location. Jay and I we marbled at how beautiful it was. The beach itself was amazing. Extremely windy and cold down here in the Cape. If you're not familiar with Cape Cod, Provincetown is out the very, very northern edge of Cape Cod. It's gorgeous here. Look at the sand. You're going to fall. Hello. Look at the sand dunes. It's so pretty. It was so windy. We stayed for a little bit but it was so cold and so windy. We just made our way back and then we drove down to the center of town and we parked at a marina and walked around. I just absolutely loved the name of this boat. It just cracked me up. Of course it was you know parking permit only but you know hey we just did our own thing anyway. We took the slow coastal route up to Provincetown and there wasn't a whole lot of traffic so we made a number of stops on quaint little beaches along the way. One beach was full of shells. It was like wow there was shells everywhere. There's just little tiny shells but there were shells everywhere so I grabbed some of those shells and then we went up to the National Park, the National Seashore and we went into the visitors center and all that stuff and then we made our way up to P-town. You know the best way I can describe it when you get close to P-town all you see sand dunes on the highways and on the byways of the roads or whatever. It's like it's like almost like at one point it must have been all sand dunes and then they built on it but what a quaint little town even off season. So we went to I forgot Race Point Beach and of course you know people go there and they get off-road vehicle permits and they can drive their cars or their jeeps or their buggies or whatever on the sand on the beach. It's really really cool to see but what a beautiful spot what a beautiful beach and we just drove all around walked all around it was really was windy and then we went over to the downtown area of Port Smith. Oh my god P-town it was amazing and this one alleyway there were a bunch of different artists that put together in this alleyway it was really cool I'm going to show you some of the shots not all of them because some of them are a little bit explicit but it was just really amazing talented artists they took fairy tales turned them into different stories or different meanings and stuff like that was like it was so incredibly cool went into a couple of jewelry shops I bought these I bought these big long silver or dangling ones that the guy that owns the jewelry shop had made and everything was on sale so it was really goodbye and this is just an awesome day on the way home we stopped and we had dinner it was it was really a full full day and what a what a gorgeous area I love Cape Cod and I love coming here in the off-season because it's not a whole bunch of tourists. Today I think we're gonna go down to Woods Hole and we're gonna head south explore that way and I'll share some of that stuff obviously as well but I'm gonna see if there's any kind of mall and all that but I'm so pleased with the makeup I brought this trip I'm gonna have to show you I didn't I mean it was pretty minimum I didn't pack a whole lot as you can see here but the foundation that I bought was just the number seven so I have the two versions of the number seven the one you can buy here in the in the in the in the States and the other one just in the UK and I kind of mixed them together for a drugstore I still made hands-down number seven foundation is is really the best and I you know and I like the obviously the boost number seven products the kick-ass foundation I like those as well but this foundation is really working out well for me I love it I'm gonna show a picture of it because every time I talk about it people say oh you can buy that but no there's something similar but it isn't the same it isn't even the same name it's the same brand but it is not the same product so I'm gonna make sure I close that picture so you can clearly see what it looks like but foundation less of me all day didn't doesn't crease doesn't get whatever and it's really cool so anyway it's just waiting he's got his coat on the car's warming we're gonna shake off for our adventure I was bound and determined to go to Hyanna's Port and try to see the Kennedy compound so we parked in a little parking lot and this is sort of a public part of the beach here it is absolutely beautiful it's a crescent beach it is just so so so pretty I was really happy that we waited till today to do it because it was a little warmer it was still very cold and extremely windy but it was just much much warmer and we walked along and took pictures and we got over to a area where you could start to see that it looked like it was private and sure enough at one point we did see the no trespassing sign Jay talked to a guy that was walking his dog and he said to us if we walk further down you could see parts of the Kennedy compound where the flag is you we might be able to see some of it but they pretty well have it blocked off and a lot of people think that one of the first large houses that you see is actually the Kennedy compound when in reality it was the house that was used in one of the Kennedy movies or maybe a few of the Kennedy movies so we were on a hunt to the real Kennedy compound so this is a private dock but Jay and I kind of yeah we just kind of went over it we did and then when we got over it that's that house right there is the the one that's used in the movies and not the real one so we kept walking and this is all a private beach area here you're not supposed to be going down here but we kept walking and we turned to the corner and there was nothing but sand dunes as you can see here I'm giving Jay my camera with the selfie stick and what he's filming which none of us could see on the ground is part of the Kennedy compound the real one and so I wanted so badly to just climb up there and see it for myself but I was just afraid we'd get into real trouble because we were trespassing so it was really thrilling for me to think that I was walking along the same beach that President John F Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy and Caroline and John John and all the other kids played at when they were little it was amazing we stopped for dinner and then made our way back to the Airbnb where I decided to show you what was in my new Teddy Blake handbag now some of you said you wouldn't like this because it didn't have a snap or inserts and all that I think I'm gonna buy an insert to put in here but the lack of a snap or closure really doesn't bother me for a day back if I was traveling and on a plane it would bother me so in this little pouch for me it's big enough to put my office keys which is what's in that little glittery thing and also my business cards my vlogging camera excuse my nails I'm desperately in need of a manicure and that's my wallet that I carry I've had that wallet forever and in there I've got my cosmetic bag and my new my new sunglasses oh my gosh I love these sunglasses they were sent to me for review and I will tell you wait till you see the review these are these are amazing I love them so in my cosmetic bags I don't really carry a whole bunch of stuff can you see that I've got samples on my hand there was an altar and I was testing stuff but Sunblock I'm gonna have to talk about the Sunblock I brought because I was so disappointed and then I've got my compact my Estee Lauder this is the foundation the cushion foundation or the cream count foundation that I use for touch ups and then just a few other different hand creams this is what I get at Bath and Body Works when they have their big sale and this is I really like this stuff this is just the cheapy Blistex but it's Sunblock and of course my favorite favorite lipsticks have I told you how much I love the color of the world lippies sweet color I love that color oh my gosh I love those lipsticks period they're just really nice so a few other little incidentals I've got a blush in case I find myself too pale I'm out and about so I can put a little blush on my cheeks I like this I don't use this every day I just use that as a basic touch up and of course I need this I need to have my concealer yes I can't go anywhere without that concealer I love that concealer so anyways as you can see I can hold pretty well a lot of everything in there including mascara just in case I need to touch up so I think the bag is really nice it is more of a special occasion I don't think I would be using the bag like I said traveling on a plane I don't think I would be doing that or hiking or anything like that but going out for dinner it held my little ring light it held my wallet held my selfie stick held everything hey guys I gonna close out the vlog with just a couple of things I want to mention first of all we had a a fantastic time on my birthday and going away to the cave I really wanted to make sure that stay on a routine but I also want to make sure I've detected my skin so I had been hearing an awful lot about the sunblock and this is the CeraVe the new hydrating sunscreen broad spectrum SPF 30 for the face lightweight non greasy I've heard so much about this product I said all right let me go and try it so I forget going down the cape can be a little warmer even though it's dead a winter still and it was pretty cold down there it was sunny on most most of the time that we're there so I brought this but of course I brought this I wanted to really test this out and see how it would work on my skin and I just have to tell you guys and I know we're all different everyone's skin is different I could not wear this and then put foundation on even I started to use it at home a couple of days it left a real white cast on my face after a long time that dissipated I was able to put my foundation on but my foundation would peel up it would just like it would just peel up and I said all right you know hang in there keep trying it because everyone loves it so I took it with me to the cape and I did the same thing now one day at home I waited almost an hour and a half before I put foundation on it still peeled up I had to wash it off and so down the cape it did the exact same thing so this was like a huge fail for me and I was like really bummed because I really wanted to try hydrating because this is hydrating sunscreen and I thought it might work better with my dry skin when I use this I do have to put oil on my skin I have to use a face oil because I have dry skin but this is about the only thing that literally this really is the only thing that literally works on my skin so the Sarah V was this huge huge bust one thing that I got in the mail and I'll show you that the packaging some of you've heard of this company first I got this in the mail before I went away and I charged it up I started to use it a couple of days before we went away now I am in the process of having some dental work done and so I'm going I've had a couple of deep cleanings of scalings and so I've been going very regular to the dentist and they measured my gum and all guns and all that stuff so I started to use this is the Burst Sonic this I'll tell you I so much love this now of course I'm doing other things too you know I'm flossing thank you Sheila life with Lily I still call it life with Lily simply Sheila and I'm flossing and I've got a water pack and I've just been really diligent on trying to since I've been going to the dentist and trying to work on these problems that I'm having so when I had an opportunity to review this I was like sure absolutely I'll tell you I love it I love it yesterday I went to Coles and they had I had a 30% off and I was going to be looking at other Sonic toothbrushes I wanted to see what they compared to and I was thinking you know maybe I'll get J1 I couldn't believe the prices number one and the ratings were not any better the reviews that I read were not any better at all than this for $69 when it's not on sale so I'm ordering J one of these so he has his own Sonic toothbrush this was said to me complimentary for review but I'm going to tell you this is a game changer for me for those of you that have perfect teeth that you've been using a sonic toothbrush it probably isn't going to be anything new but I will tell you the price point for this is unbelievable so if you're on the fence and you don't you don't want to spend $200 for a Phillips or for any other kind of a Sonic you know tooth brush system check out this burst I'll leave the information link below again I've only been using this for what maybe two weeks now I love it I love it total total game changer and while I was away many of you complimented me on my shades these are called so Joe's you've heard of this company they contacted me via Instagram and said would you like to try some of their sunglasses so I wore these a lot in my clips and I wore these a lot in my insta stories so many of you have reached out and said oh love you glasses love your shades I tell you really believe that I saw better with them on even though they're not prescription as far as the Sun was so blinding and with these on you know how when you wear sunglasses you know you sometimes you still have to squint a little bit you know and all that which of course contributes to your wrinkles with this my squinting was a minimum compared to my other glasses so they sent me three for review I'll tell you I couldn't believe the packaging the way they came packaged up in this box is unbelievable just dropped something this is the second pair that they sent I haven't even opened this up yet I only opened up the first pair so they all come with a cleaning cloth they come with their own magnetic closure for a case and well well wrapped amazing quality and I really think that this is like totally reduced my squinting oh these are kind of funky do you think I like these they're very different for me they're more round excuse my lights anyways I love these I'm gonna link all the information I think they're extremely affordable I guess it all really depends on what you spend for sunglasses but they're just amazingly affordable and then I have these clear ones and I'm really not too sure I'm not too sure the story behind this but a cleaning bag the accessories that came with these glasses are amazing we absolutely we had a great time and we walked around we hiked we climbed over sand dunes we did all sorts of stuff and one of the trusty trusty things that we brought was our realm Jay is he won't go anywhere without without this so I took the recovery stick and I took the calm because I've been using the calm at night I put it by my head it kind of helps quiet get my plastic from my glasses it kind of helps quiet you know my brain a little bit from because like I sometimes at night just think think think and think and it's hard to shut it down I love this at night and the recovery stick is awesome in fact Melissa 55 sent me a message and she had bought this for her husband Doug and she said and she told me she said he loves this he keeps it by his computer I'm not too sure if it's for his hands with I'll have to ask Melissa exactly what Doug was using this for but I think it has something to do with the repetitive motion on his computer and he loves it he says it has it really helps with that temporary relief of pain that's really the only way I can say it the temporary relief of pain so we brought this and thank you so much for watching the vlog I've got a couple of other reviews coming up of different products that I've got one that I'm super excited about it is the for you UFO and I'll tell you it's not in it it's an adult proof package because I had the hardest time I'm sorry for you I had the hardest time opening up that package I was reaching out and I think it was Sheila who responded first and she was googling and I was googling and we were trying to figure out Sheila finally found a video on how to open it packaging so I got the for you open and then Marlene chimed in she said I've been googling I'm so glad you got it open but I'll tell you the packaging on some of these products are like in a sane and they're not easy so anyways I'm going to talk about that that is the UFO mask system that they have so I'm really looking forward to that and I've also I'm getting a couple of other products I'm not too sure they should be arriving I think this week sometime so I'm going to talk about that and I am also doing an update on this baby the A313 yeah I'm going to talk about this guy and my retina and what my feelings are about this I will tell you though that we have the the original I know that I think it was Angie Hutton flashy who had picked up one of these and got one that did not have the correct ingredients so after much investigation we were able to determine that we do have the correct version of this so I think after six weeks I can at least tell you what my thoughts are about it not that I'll know if it's working so quickly but I can tell you what my thoughts are so look forward to that video or look for that video and also in my your reaction guys on my wig I had done that wig review the Sonoma the really bold one with the roots and the curls and all that and those of you that left a comment you are all super favorable fact some of you said you'd like to see more more wig videos so typically I've been like incorporating my wig videos inside of regular video so but maybe I'll do maybe I'll do one separately I don't know I know I'll say but yeah I have a lot of things that have worked out super well for me so anyways guys thank you so much for watching please thumbs up the video and leave me a comment and I will catch you on the flip side bye guys
