 Hi guys, it's Monica. Welcome to my vlog. These last two weeks, you're going to see glimpses of my life have been crazy. I broke my Do Not Buy. Oh, it's so bad. I'm on a self-imposed Do Not Buy. That went right out the window. I broke that. And so I have a new foundation, color, a couple of new other products that I'm going to talk about throughout the vlog. And you're going to see a little bit, a little bit of the beach and a little bit of me being sick. So anyways, if you're interested in seeing my life as it kind of unfolded these last two weeks, stay tuned. But, obviously, before you do that, I just want to tell you thank you all so much for watching. And if you're new to the channel, please subscribe. I truly, truly appreciate every single one of you. And if you have any suggestions or any questions, leave questions below in the comment. And I'll do a future video trying to answer a number of the questions. I think that'd be kind of cool. So thank you so much for watching my vlog. And without any further, what is that word? I do? I do? No. Delay? I like delay. That's easier. Without any further delay, here's my vlog for the last two weeks. So I just got home from the hairdressers. And she, she gave me a very slight trim and touched up my grays. A couple of foils. And then the Groucho Max eyes. Eye brows. It's like, oh my God, I took a picture of myself with those eyebrows on. It's like, unreal. What is she doing today? Did not hit the button? Yeah, I did. There we go. She's taking nice big sections. She's probably just going to show us. Yeah, I just wanted to show you. Looks good. Very ackee coconut. I think it's a coconut. It just really don't like the taste of this. It's like, but I'm not too sure if it's supposed to taste good. I just know it's supposed to be good for you. I don't know if it's supposed to taste good. So I'm going to try to finish it. I have much more to go. Wish me luck. Happy hump day guys. It is Wednesday and it's a sunny day. I can't believe it. I'm so excited because we've had rain, ice storm, drizzle. We've just had the most crappiest spring ever. But today is going to be a nicer day. Get an office meeting and then I'm doing some one-on-one coaching with an agent. But I am wearing an honor of Barbara Bush. I'm wearing my mother's pearls. They're really my pearls because she gave them to me, but they're my mother's pearls. So I'm going to wear them in honor of Barbara Bush today. Rest in peace. I don't know what I'm going to do. Jay's golfing tonight and this morning he's going for, can you believe it, a golf lesson. So he's going to have more of a golf day today, a fun day. I'm going to be working, but I think I'm going to try to do something special tonight. We'll see. What you doing over there honey? You're trying to manage the, you got it. Oh my god these are so outgrown. So Jay and I are off to teach the full day Saturday, pre-licensing this class 9 and 10. So this wraps the 40 hour required course up for a lot of our students. Plus we have some other people joining the class too. So it's going to be tactic. I'm trying to pack up all my stuff to carry to work and yeah. So and then tonight we're going out to dinner to a friend's house that actually a schoolmate. So when we went to our awards banquet we realized that a bunch of us sitting at the same table graduated the same year or close to the same year at the same high school. So we talked about as couples going out. Whoops. We talked about as couples going out and tonight is the night but we're just going to go to one of one of their houses not going out to dinner. So that should be fun and I have a lot of a lot of prep work to do for a class on Monday. This doesn't be hectic hectic Saturday for me, but yeah. And the most exciting thing is that it stops snowing. We think the snow has ended. I'm hoping for good. So yesterday we we actually I actually yesterday afternoon did a little bit of the motorhome. I stripped the beds. I washed all the sheets. They're all over there and you know before I put it out and make the bed after being cooped up for the whole season. We like to refresh it even though we left it fairly clean except for the clutter. But we do like to refresh it. So I'm going to still wash everything down before I bring it you know the sheets out and the vacuum the whole thing. And then J trim the raspberry bushes. So we get that done but we are like so far behind in any kind of the odd work. It's just the weather hasn't cooperated. It's cold but I don't know when next weekend is supposed to be our shakedown cruise. I don't know. I'm hoping we make it. If the weather is really cold I don't know if we'd want to be on the beach or not with the motorhome. That's my Saturday. I don't know. I'm being super super silly. I'm just dancing around my house. It's Sunday morning and Jay cut up like super early. We were at friends last night and we just we had a great time. They have the most gorgeous house. It's like antique. It's got amazing amazing amazing antique furniture. Anyways we had a blast. She made me this drink. I don't know what it was but I got a little bit inebriated. And so Jay got up like super early this morning and he went golfing. And I'm just dancing around my living room. And yeah just dancing around my living room like a total fool. But I'm gonna go out and tackle some something in the motorhome so we can hopefully go camping next weekend. I'm like so psyched. I haven't done anything yet. My hair is just my hair. I do have my mascara on obviously. Oh and I have a mark up here that I've been watching now for like about almost two months. Hasn't changed. That's good I guess. But I don't know. I first I thought it was a zip. But it isn't. It's like this just red thing. I know you can see it. But I know I'm a little I know a little worried. Not much. Just a little. So anyways I'm gonna go tackle the motorhome. I'll probably be dancing around my house for a while. I should actually get on my elliptical. So I should do. But I'm not. I'm so bad. I'm off to Belmont. I'm teaching Colour looks weird. New blush. Old lips. New blush old lips. I think it's gonna be one of those weeks. So I'm off to Belmont. I am teaching the New Hampshire core class and then I'm doing a workshop on collages and contingencies. And yesterday I worked really hard on the motorhome all day. So I'm like super excited because I think if the weather stays the way it is you're gonna see some beach clips in this vlog. Yeah that'll be exciting for me anyways. So I drove from the Belmont office to the Meredith. No well I'm in Meredith but I'm going to the Maltenborough office. So I just went to Meredith and into Santa Haber and I just thought I'd stop here at the boat launch. But it's like wicked windy out there. So I'm not gonna be able to film and I only have a few minutes. But I'm gonna just kind of scan out the window. So you can get a little bit of an idea of what it looks like where I'm at. So you can see big boat over there and there's a dock. Lake Winnipesock is huge and a little beach area and a playground. I am not wearing a jacket and I am wearing open-toe sandals. It's still chilly but it's a lot nicer than it has been. It's a rainy hump day and I'm heading actually to our Portsmouth office where I'm gonna be teaching a class. And Jay is supposed to golf today but it's a rainy start to the day so I don't know if that's gonna happen. He's been working in the yard and it really kind of stinks because we should have been at the beach but we made the decision yesterday not to go to the beach based on the weather that we had yesterday and you know predictions for the weekend. But it's a beautiful beautiful Saturday. So we're gonna meet up with friends for dinner in Epping and then Jay is gonna take me to Elta. Yes, Elta. Elta baby Elta. And then I'm sure you'll want to go to Marshall's. Yeah and then we might go we're not too sure we haven't really made a decision we might go to the movies. Chappaquiddick. Is that playing? That's playing. Oh sorry that's at 730. So we'll see. Maybe maybe not and yeah so didn't get no beach vlogging in for you guys. No beach. No golf vlogging. Well you don't golf vlog that much anyways. So we're off and running. Ciao. Jay took the motor home to the beach this morning. He left maybe about 15 minutes ago. Sorry and he is gonna try to get us inside the campground so we can have a hopefully waterfront row site or wind back. And I'm gonna head over there pick him up after he hooks it up. Pick him up, bring him back home because we don't have a tow set up yet on the rig with our new cars. So I'm so excited. I do have to work today. I do have a bad ear infection. I'm gonna call the doctor. I might go have that checked out because it's not really getting better on its own. And I have a history with this ear ever since I one time flew to Florida and it burst on me down in Florida when we were camping. It was not a good time. But anyways so yeah so I'm gonna pick him up come back home head into the office work take care of some stuff I can work remotely and then I'm gonna try to go to the doctor's and then go to the beach. So I decided to just show you a little bit of what the drive looks like as I'm heading over to Hampton Beach. The bridge ahead is a drawbridge that raises and lowers depending on the tide and the boat traffic. And if you look closely you can see the campground right along the mouth of the ocean that's Hampton Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. I'm going to turn into the opening of the campground and I'm you know didn't want to really drag it out so I did do double speed here for you. But as I get to the opening you can see Jay is pulling up ahead of me and then he's going to back into the campsite that we were assigned. So we pulled in. He's gonna extend the slide out I think over here. Oh it's out already. So this is site number nine Hampton Beach. Not a bad site at all honey. Yeah 13 would have been nice but this is awesome. Fire pit. Of course we don't have any wood with us. And this is where I'm going to be walking in the morning. Right out to the ocean. A little walkway here is open for all the campers. See the jetty. There's the bridge I came over. So we obviously haven't set up but look at the water. You can see it right from inside. I'm gonna take you down the hallway into the bedroom. Whoops. And here's my views. Because I sleep on what we call curbside. Jay sleeps on driver's side. Curbside. Awesome views. So Jay's doing some last-minute setups. Did you put the boards down on there? That kind of gives it a little extra state of stability. Kills me that I have to go to work. Because I work I can enjoy things like this. So I really shouldn't complain about going to work because I'm coming home to the beach. So hot breaking to leave the rig right honey? Yeah I mean she's parked. She's ready to go and hopefully you'll get back in time. You'll have a few hours a day like when you get home. I plan on it. I am I'm gonna make a doctor's appointment for my ear ache and see if I can get in today. Then I get a bunch of minor things I have to do but there's a lot of stuff that I can do remotely. I just need Wi-Fi. That's always an issue with us. So always huge issue not having Wi-Fi because I could easily sit and work on my scheduling from here. So I walked from the campground to I guess this is the beginning of the boardwalk area in Hampton and it's a nice walk from the campground. I mean it's not hard at all. Now when I've done it on the beach obviously walking on the sand is harder than the pavement. I didn't know how cold and windy it was gonna be down there so I opted for the pavement. So I decided just to walk down to the lady by the sea. I love this spot on the beach. It's a nice little walk from the campground and it gave me some exercise and just I was just able to enjoy it. It was windy but it was warm and it was nice and you know I went on to the doctors today and put me on some medication told me to rest but this is restful for me. So I woke up this morning and I could hear the tide coming in and I could hear the sky rats. Those are actually called seagulls but we call them sky rats flying around. There was one that landed on the roof of the motorhome so I'm sure there'll be sky rat kaka up there but and you know while the amenities of where I'm at is the ocean and it isn't necessarily the campground itself because you know you're in a strip along the Hampton Harbor in the mouth of the ocean. I'm gonna turn the camera around so that maybe you can see a little bit about what I'm talking about. So I'm inside and showed you a little bit of this yesterday but I have my screen closed so you're seeing the obstruction but right there I mean that is, that's no good, that is the mouth, that's the ocean, that's the Atlantic Ocean. So for me to walk down to that jetty is probably I don't know maybe a five minute walk depending on how quick I go but all the seagulls are out there and you know it's just, it's just really really pretty. The tide is in and you can see a fisherman going out. I think it's around 8 o'clock in the morning and I'm getting ready to head to to Portsmouth but I just wanted to share a little bit of my view with you all. And that's really why Jay and I love coming here. So we do. We're both beach babies. Last night I took a long walk. I did go to the doctor. I have a really bad, they could not believe that it was not in a ton of pain and it was explained to him the only time it really hurt is when I touched it or I slept on it and I really thought it was just gonna get better and go get better on its own. Anyways my eardrum is quite inflamed, quite infected. It was to the degree that eardrops wouldn't help me. Even you know even antibiotic type eardrops, very expensive eardrops wouldn't help. So I'm on a high high dose of an antibiotic and I have to watch the side effects I'm supposed to rest and I'm heading to work. So yeah but from here it's gonna take me, I'm going to Portsmouth today. So it's probably gonna take me 20 minutes to get up to Portsmouth if there's any traffic if that. So it's actually closer for me to go to work in Portsmouth when I'm at the beach than it is when I'm at home and I go to London Dairy because my London Dairy drive is about 35 minutes depending on traffic. Mayors bother me. So I'm gonna start picking on it. I just realized the only sunblock I have with me is my body sunblock. I don't have any of my Australian gold. I have no idea how that happened. I think I might have to go to the store on my way home from work. I'm a klutz. So I did I stuffed an Ulta and they had by one get the other half off so I did that plus I had a coupon and then oh you know what I mean I really didn't need this but I was really intrigued by this trio. I do like the 24-7 Urban Decay. It stays right on my eyes really nice so it got perversion Rockstar and Midnight Cowboy. Oh well now I'm going to walk the beach fully protected with sunblock and a visa. I was really surprised that there wasn't a whole lot of people on the beach. I mean there were some people out enjoying it but for such a warm beautiful sunny day in May after the winter we've had I would have thought the place would have been just packed but I just so enjoyed walking the beach. I think I did about four and a half miles round trip in the sand with my toes in the ocean. When I go back to the campsite I sat in my lounge chair and just watch boats go out of the harbor and veged out listening to a true crime podcast. I am addicted to podcasts. So hey guys yeah I'm home it's Friday the motorhome is still at the beach. I yesterday afternoon yesterday I had to work Thursday I had to work so I came down to London Dairy and I taught all day and I've been sick with the earache as many of you've heard me complain and you know the the antibiotic has just made me sicker. It's clearing up the earache and my ear drum hasn't burst came close but it's clearing it all up but it's just making me sick so I've been taking a probiotic along with it and trying to eat really carefully to try to just really nurture it so that it does get better. So anyways I came home yesterday because I had to do tea chaldea shop and get probiotic and all that stuff. I in it rained in the afternoon so I decided I'm just gonna stay home for the night so hence I'm in my bathroom this morning and I'm getting ready to go to London Dairy for the day and then Jay and I tonight will will go to the beach but when I was shopping yesterday is a couple of things that I did I went into Walgreens and I because last time I was in Walgreens they had an awesome sale on my Boots number 7 Lift and Luminate that's a foundation I really really like in wheat and I bought the last one and so they still have the sale going on so I'm really concerned that they're going to discontinue the line and I said oh no because normally it's like $14.99 depending on where you buy at full price and when you can get it at $8.99 $7.99 you know or buy one with the other free it's phenomenal but when you start to see that kind of a price on it it really concerns me so I thought holy cow so I decided I was gonna try a different shade and I ended up buying honey which is what I have on today so I'm wearing honey I'm not too sure I'm liking it or not it's more of a I think it has more of a gold color than my wheat does so maybe maybe it's okay but I got color matched with the wheat and it seems to work perfectly for my skin but I thought for the summer I would try the honey and the wheat maybe mix them see how I do the other thing I bought and and I know I showed this earlier I want to do not buy unless I absolutely need it can you tell yeah right anyways I went into Alta to buy my Sunblock because yeah you know went to the beach and I forgot my face Sunblock I mean really how intelligent is that so I went to Alta and of course they had the Urban Decay I really like the the glide-on pencils and I like the one that I use for my water line and the eyeliner they're expensive so I don't always use them Sephora has another brand I also like some of the Rimmels but the Urban Decay on my water line at least and on my eyelids it just stays on it stays on all day it's sweat proof for me for my eyelids so I'm really really like it as expensive it is well they had this 24-7 trio glide on and I for $30 so plus I had my coupon plus I had some points so I ended up buying it and these were the three the three colors that I have on I bought persuasion rockstar in midnight cowboy other three shades so I have the the rockstar one it's sort of like a purpley color but not really purple purple purple not a marley and fab and glam purple but more of a subtle purplishy shade so purplishy brown so I have that on today I'm going to work so I'm not gonna you know you I just you know I can't go like boom like I'm going to a party when I go to work much as I'd like to I can't so I have this on today I'll see how it lasts but yesterday I wore the darker one and the darker one is the proof I can I say persuasion I meant perversion perversion this is a black a shade of a black a little bit lighter I think than my legend that I have and all three of these have a slight bit of a glow or glitter a shimmer maybe a shimmer a gentle shimmer this one is kind of really cool I ended up putting this like right on the inner inner part of my eyes I really like it so I'm gonna just put it on my you do have to be careful with these soft pencils because the tip really can break easy and I don't like that these are the three that I put on the darkest one is in the middle I know you can't really see so I have the this is their persuasion and this is the rock star the more purpley one can you see that and then the lighter one and so I just think they're really pretty and it's the holding power if the staying power is indeed 24-7 if it's as good as what I'm liking I'm really gonna like that so that's what I kind of I bought so my new new foundation color we'll see how that works and then I ended up picking up I ordered these off of Amazon a big more curls you know I'm struggling with the longer hair I'm struggling with the style so that's what I did so now I'm heading to I'm gonna finish the rest of my look heading to London Dairy and I'm gonna work all day and then Jay and I are going to the beach and I'll probably end the vlog and upload this hopefully sometime this weekend for you guys and and then continue on with next time so I truly appreciate every single one of you watching thank you all so much please be sure to comment like and subscribe to the channel if you're not already I truly appreciate every single one of you I know say that over and over again but I really really do thank you and have a wonderful wonderful wonderful weekend bye guys
