It's Monica and by the time we see this Thanksgiving will have been over with some filming this the weekend before Thanksgiving and Jay and I are going to be hosting Thanksgiving this year here in our home. It's a smaller crowd and You know, so just trying to we have a small house to begin with so Smaller proud is good in in some ways, but I'm hoping the weather is nice because I thought I was gonna maybe do a little fire out in the backyard in the fire pit and You know people could sit out there or the kids could and stuff like that I thought that would be really nice. It looks like it's going to be a cold Thanksgiving in New England and Unfortunately, but anyways by the time you see this you'll already know what the weather was on Thanksgiving I just want to say I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving However, you spent it and I just hope you were able to relax and and just have a wonderful You know Thanksgiving giving thanks to everything.

No, I'm sure it has I should by the time you see it'll have gone live but a couple of things that I want to really talk about First I'll talk about a product that was actually sent to me and This was sent to me complimentary from vanilla Co USA, which is the company that makes clean and zero you might have remembered in one of my previous videos I had showed the little clean it zero ornament little, you know travel size that I was super excited about I happen to love the clean it zero product.

So when I saw this I said I'm gonna try it. So I've tried it a couple of times I'm gonna continue to use it. I really like it. Just uh, I Look it has a very fresh Orangey fragrance and that I don't know that makes me happy I guess I love this the smell of orange and and lemons and stuff like that citrus because it just reminds me of summertime so So far I've really been enjoying this now it hasn't been long term But I can tell you that since I've been, you know back on the retin a my peeling has really intensified Obviously, especially down by my chin area.

I'll make sure I get below for you guys to to check out So I've been on a lipstick hunt. I bought a couple of lipsticks. I bought one I don't know a couple weeks ago, and I ended up not liking it Well, I bought myself another lipstick and this is I'm looking for that perfect nude I like it But it's still not that perfect nude for me I'm just like I'm on a hunt for that perfect nude and nothing seems to be Getting the perfect so One of the things that I bought off of Amazon I had seen on Facebook these Makeup bags these cosmetic bags, and I thought they look really nice, you know I liked how when you unzip them and you opened them up that they kind of opened flat And so you could see everything that was in there instead of like hunting through a bag and shaking out a bunch of stuff to find Something so I really like that idea and the company is called peach loft and It was the peach loft cosmetic bag that I bought in size large and I Saw it on Facebook. I remembered the name of it. I couldn't find the company So I went into Amazon and I put in peach loft cosmetic bags and What showed up was Looked exactly like the peach loft cosmetic bag that I saw on Facebook And so I said okay, and I and I think the price was maybe a little bit better or about the same But on Amazon I have free shipping, so I figured I'll buy it. So I ordered it and When it came I Was like I first of all it wasn't kind of really well packed It was in a box, but it wasn't like full of stuffing or or anything that you might expect that might Protect it inside, you know, at least that I would protect it inside So when I pulled it out and you can already see that I've got a little mark here little pen mark But when I pulled it out, I first of all I said the handle this little short But then I said I remember the handle being short and this is not this is large, but it's not large Right is not like large large. So I said, okay, and I looked and I didn't see the name peach loft Anywhere, but I see rows of no man's land on the front But I don't see anything else and I looked I said that's weird But then when I opened it up as soon as I opened up, I thought this doesn't really I mean it looks like what I Wanted, but I said this is kind of cheesy. It wasn't as it wasn't as Well made as or a sturdy as I kind of thought it would be But the premise was obviously correct. You open up the bag You've got your little compartments here where you can put your, you know Compacts or your brushes you've got stuff here where you could have other, you know, maybe your your eyeshadow palettes You've got a little pocket in the middle that has an opening through which I didn't realize right But it's like an opening where you can put your brushes and then over here. You've got two side pockets It lies flat when you open it up looks like this And I thought okay. This is probably it But then the more I played with it. I thought this just doesn't seem Well-made So I was gonna go return it because I was kind of disappointed in it. I went to return it I went to click on my link in Amazon and it probably doesn't exist anymore So my suspicions are that I was Taken by a counterfeit company Trying to counterfeit now. I'm not gonna be able to return it I probably will end up using it our trip is coming up and I'm gonna see when I pocket My goal was my cosmetics to be in one bag Meaning my makeup eye shadow Brushes stuff like that anything to do with cosmetics Finishing you know anything like that at least in one bag and then my cleaning my clean Products maybe in a separate pouch and I thought I could stick it in here too and it may still work that way I don't really know But you know, obviously need a different bag for your shampoo's and things of that nature and poems and all of that and like your Things to wash your face with so But I was really bummed. I really think that I got a counterfeit bag. I really do. I don't think that's the real And if it is the real peach loft cosmetics bag, I'm very disappointed in the quality of it and Yeah, I don't think it's the real one though and I don't really know how to find out because I Follow the link on Amazon to return it and oops that page, you know that product's not found So obviously it's been removed and I know I could probably reach out to Amazon separately and and do something like that But I just I just really haven't haven't bothered to do that But that's just just a total bummer. So The CBD gummies CBN and CBD very very gummies are Awesome, I really do like them and if you guys know a perfect peach let me know because I Haven't found one yet that I really really like I'm not really so how was your Thanksgiving? How how well, you know, let me know how your holiday was and and how things are going I feel like I Sort of getting the itch to go live again because I haven't gone live in a long time I used to love that because it was so much different interaction and I don't know what's up with YouTube But the views are down the comments are down and and I kept thinking well, maybe it's my content. It's boring Who knows but you know, I'm still hanging in there and I'm I'm hoping things pick up Maybe it's just again the uncertain times that we live in who's watching a YouTube video lately You know, I know the big channels get tons of views and but they're all saying they're down, too So we'll see what happens a little small channel like mine When the views are down, it's pretty noticeable, but other than that Things there things are good Getting ready to go into the Christmas season. Obviously some people are already deep in the Christmas season and the holidays we're probably gonna be going to my sister's for the holidays and bring my mama and Then we get to January 5th. You were in March and it's like all the cold months of New England Yeah, it's funny. Thank you guys so much for watching. I'll see you in my next video. Bye. Bye
