I Cut My Hair Again, Testing New Products, Travel Must Haves Birthday Celebrations

Guys welcome to a new vlog happy friday. Today'S friday, i am gon na meet up with ileana for her birthday. I am gon na order an uber right now, because i don't want to be late. Okay, i'm gon na get there at 1. 55.. Okay, i just ordered the uber. This is the hair that i did today. I i recorded the entire like get ready with me process from makeup to hair to also outside my hair is just still a little bit wet, so i'm trying to like fluff it out. So that i can have just a little bit more volume: okay, the uber six minutes away, but i'll show you guys. My little outfit top is from shin jeans, are from zara and then heels of choice, but i'm gon na head out now pack, my bag and all the things so see you guys on my way there look like like summer together. I know right. I love the giraffe, then we have a princess cake. Lemon sponge cake with the pink marzipan on top then follow up with a fruit tart. So if you're going to take your vitamin c, look what he brought tell the people babe, what is it if they can't guess what it is by looking at it, the best lunches you will ever taste ever in life, it is so delicious. I just had some and it's nice and creamy diana and i were taking pictures and then we took some videos and stuff of her outfit and then i took some and then they came to the rescue. So i didn't have to take anywhere all the way back home so because uber's now would have been like 70 bucks. That'S not good, but yes, you're still on camera dude! It'S a y lens angle. My love they're gon na see you regardless look look he's eating. I got ta take my shoes off because they already blistered up my feet because we were walking a few blocks to like get a good spot for the photos. There'S like no light in here good morning, guys it is sunday and yesterday i did not vlog at all, because i was editing the vlog, and this morning i woke up early to just finish: editing it and post it. So i really did not do much yesterday. So that's why i didn't vlog didn't really do anything, but today we are cleaning packing finishing packing and i'm gon na style, my hair, because my hair was really dry. I used the myel mousse and that was it and it looked really pretty. But i i didn't scrunch it out, so all of that product felt really productive in my hair and i just did not like how my hair felt whatsoever. I also cut my hair. I know it like looks so much shorter, yeah it'll absorb it, but i cut my hair. You guys - and i only cut off from here - maybe like four inches. I want to say i don't think you guys could tell right now because i'm wearing a black shirt, but i cut off the bottom of my hair, because when i got a haircut with ona, i told her that i wanted to keep my length and just add Layers - and that was probably the worst mistake that i made and the reason the only reason why i'm saying it was a mistake, is because, since i hadn't gone to the hair salon in like a year, my ends were really really bad and they were like thin And see-through, and so after the haircut, i was noticing that my hair still was very thin and see-through at the ends, because i dragged out my haircut for so long which moving forward. I will not do ever again because, because of that, i noticed that my ends are super duper thin and although i want my hair to be like long and whatever to have like a different look, if my ends are thin and see-through, it's just no. It'S not cute, it's just, let's just start over and let's figure it out, so i ended up cutting off like four inches to kind of even it out. I didn't want to do too much, but my ends were so stringy and whenever i would like detangle my hair or like touch my hair in the ends like it was just like one little pelito. That was super long and i'm just like. No so i ended up cutting it off literally, was in the shower split, my hair into two, and i brushed it down on this bottom part. I went and i cut it and now it's like so much fuller because it was just not cute, so i'm gon na start taking my vitamins again. I'M gon na start doing more, like intensive treatments to my hair and honestly, most importantly because i already do like treatments to my hair, but most importantly, is follow up on my haircuts. Because that's why my hair was super see-through and when i was talking to ona. She was like girl. You need to cut your hair like more often so i was holding on to damage length essentially because my ends were just broken and yeah. So i'm excited to stop my hair to see what it's going to look like, because i took a couple inches off and i just wanted to look fuller and not as choppy. You know, and i don't i don't really like how choppy it was looking. So hopefully i fixed it or at least on the road to recovery over here i do need to be better at taking my vitamins and stuff like that, and also doing more, like scalp, massages and stuff like that, because i don't know my hair in the summer Is when i get over it, i always tell you guys: it's always around this time when my hair starts to feel dry, and i just have to tell myself it is the humidity it is the you know the warmer weather, but it was pretty damaged. So i know i had to like just cut some off because i prolonged my haircut for a year. Don'T do that because you will have to cut off hair because it's damaged see even this part. Now it's so much like thicker than it was before, because it was so stringy, and i did i just you guys know you know your hair and you know what looks good when it's healthy and those ends just were not healthy. Okay enough talking about the hair that i cut, i found this in target a few weeks ago and i forgot about it, but it's the shea moisture, manuka, honey and yogurt hydrate and repair whipped, curl cream - and i remember loving this line. I did understood my hair. My hair felt really nice and soft we're just going to try this product out. I also brought out the curly magic curls stimulator it's their gel. This is like one of the best gels ever hands down, and it's also really good for the summer. I forgot about it. I was looking through my product stash and i was like what here is gon na make my hair feel nice and soft, but also hold the moisture, and then i saw that one and i was like this is perfect. It has like a runny consistency if you guys can tell yeah it's not like super thick, so i did spray my hair, i'm actually going to spray a little bit more. I don't want to put too much product of this, because i don't want my curls to take a year and a day to dry. I am wetting it. That could be another thing. I stopped like wetting my hair a lot and using it on dry hair and i started using less product. Maybe my hair is just like girl. We need more product now, i'm going in with the gel. Oh, my god, my answer is so much better. I just love like a fresh haircut when your ends are like blunt and they feel nice and full, and i didn't have like a blunt haircut. It was more like to maintain the layers, so i didn't have that feeling. Well, i'm using the felicia leatherwood styling brush to style today, not the denman, because the diamond just always gives me more shrinkage, but i am going to scrunch upwards. I just feel like this is more effective foreign, so i decided that i'm going to air dry, my hair instead of diffusing it. I don't have the time today to sit and diffuse my hair put these little clips here so that my curls and my hair doesn't dry flat, so i'm going to start packing or finish packing ooh, so dark, okay. So here's what my situation looks like right now. There'S a lot a lot of stuff that i still have to like put and like figure out one thing at a time, charlie. So for the most part i got here my camera gear. I don't know if i showed you guys, i didn't guys look how cute my camera bag is, i got it off amazon and it is so beautiful. I think i showed it to you guys in the last vlog, but it came in it is so nice and spacious as well, and you can wear it as a crossbody back. So everything is like nice and secure. So i can fit all of my filming stuff and my lens that i was showing you guys in the other vlog, and i also remember that i had to have an adapter, because this lens doesn't fit this camera without the adapter. So i got the adapter. I got my little handheld tripod for like vlogging and stuff, like that. I have this little memory card holder and then i have my little lights this light. I have to link it for you guys, because this light is literally what whoops. This light is literally what saves me when i am vlogging in like a darker place, where there's not good lighting. I usually have this attached to my camera, but since i'm filming like during the day today, i already packed it because i don't want to forget it and then i have my other microphone my little monitor so that when i'm doing like makeup and tic tocs and Stuff, i have that and then, like all the wires for that everything fit in so nicely, and that's literally all of the only thing that's missing is my battery for my camera, but i'm still using it. So that's why i haven't put it in and then this came in as well. This was for my glasses to organize all of my glasses and it has like a little hook. I love the color of it. Here'S what it looks like i just have to put my glasses for, like i have one more pair of sunglasses that i think i'm gon na put in here, but it's so beautiful and then, when i get to like the bathroom or whatever i can just hang It over and have my glasses displayed. This was so cute. I will also link this. I need to work on like links because i always say i'm gon na link it and then, when i post a video i completely forget. So please remind me if i forget to link anything, because these are really great things to have, and then this is also something that i got, which was for my mask, but i think i showed you that you guys that already this i got was the backseat Card holder, it's basically like to put your ipad in the back of the seat so that you can see it and i'm gon na be taking that ipad with me as well with my computer but yeah. I have a lot of like little compartments that i want to pack. This is the bag that i'm going to be taking. This is kind of like my my handbag, but it has like so much space, so i can put my computer and i love that it has like the little pianitas in the bottom so that i can caldera, so tobago doesn't get messed up in the bottom. So i have that i need to get my case for my computer, all of my cables, my external drive, which i had to buy a new one, because mine got messed up. This is where i store all of my content, or maybe i could use this one for my wires. I think i bought one specifically for wires and like techie stuff, so i'm gon na look for it, but if i don't find it, i'm gon na use this hi milo boy. You look like an old man here. I have all of my skincare already that i'm packing just a bunch of like random skincare that i know i cannot live without got my kiehl's eye cream. This stuff is so good. My sister put me on to it and then i got my user in sunscreen. We got some toners, just literally everything, and i also have my nivea cream, which doesn't fit in there. So i'm gon na have to put it in my maleta, like i'm gon na, have to leave it out, but this is perfect and then i have space for, like maybe my toothbrush and my toothpaste and stuff like that. I'Ll probably take some like teeth, whitening stuff, because i always like to carry that so that is in here here i have all of my hair stuff. My mom is taking some satanical products. I told her to bring all those technical products that she has here. Are the products that i'm taking within me for the trip, so i'm taking the eden body works, cleansing, co-wash and i'm hoping to like finish all these products so that i don't have to bring them back. It'S really nice and moisturizing. I'M going for moisture with the products that i'm taking, because my hair already kind of feels dry, so i totally forgot. I had this product. This is one of my favorite, like overnight treatments to do in my hair, the maya, moisture, hawaiian ginger moisturizing overnight. It'S a deep conditioner, so this is the only deep conditioner that i'm bringing. If i feel like, i need something else, i'll probably just go to like the target or the walmart or whatever and like restock, but i'm sticking with moisture and then for styling cream. I have the botanical light curl cream. This stuff is so good and i can use it on its own or layer it under with like a gel on top and so for gel i'm taking the curl maker again. These products are like almost finishing, so that's why i want to take them, and i hope that it like gives me enough for the trip, but this is the curl maker gel. It'S such a good product, i'm almost kind of done with it, but it layers really nicely with a bunch of products. So i'm gon na take this one for shampoo and conditioner. I am gon na use the mild organics, moisturizing, pomegranate and honey line, their shampoo and conditioner. I remember this being extremely moisturizing for my curls, so that's why i am taking that. That is the dual of choice that i will be taking with me right here. So i have that and then i have a mousse because you guys know. Sometimes i just want like a quick wash and go which i should not do this often because it can dry out your hair. So i'm just selectively going to be doing that and then i have this from curlsmith, which i got, and i also need to take the vitamins i want to pack those so that i can start taking them, because i want my hair to be fuller and thicker And just overall healthier and maintaining the health of it. So this is something that you put in your scalp. I want to put this on my edges and stuff like that, so i'm taking it with me so that i can remember every time i like wash my hair to do that and then last but not least, my aussie curls curl defining oil. This is like almost done. It'Ll probably only give me for like two wash and goes maybe, and then just in case that runs out. I got my bread oil, which is so good as well. I can use this for deep conditioning for separating my curls for more moisture. All of the things to show those are the hair products that i'm taking with me. Let me go ahead and throw it back in my bag ew what happened to this bag? I took this one to florida and i had - i guess i had my makeup in here, but it's fine, so i'm gon na put this back inside and give milo his ball so that he's not grouchy. This is what you want. Is this what you want? Okay, guys, i found my little jewelry little organizer situation, and this is what i have so far. So i have necklaces over here. I have some earrings over here rings: earrings bracelets and i have bracelets over here. Okay, so i've made a lot of progress. I was on the phone with my sister and she's packing up. She was packing up the kids clothes and i was packing up my stuff, and so i've made a lot of progress. I think i'm almost done. I think the only thing that's left is shoes. I have to figure out what shoes i want to take and then my nespresso machine and the pots that i'm taking, because we are taking the nespresso machine to save money on coffee, because i just love my nespresso machine. I know that's a little extra, but i'm extra. So it's okay, oh my god, milo kills me. He just loves being on hi brother, you're, so sweet you are so cute. So it might not look like i got anything done, but i did. I did my makeup. I did so much so let me show you guys, so i got this little bag here for hair stuff. I found some more masks because i wanted to take more masks. I was like, i need more hair masks, because i do that twice a week, so i got these from not your mother's and then a palmer's one and they fit perfectly right over here. These are my hair ties, they're, so good because they stretch. So i can do that for my half up half down, i can do it for my high bun low bun everything i can use these and then on this section i have my tangle teezer brush, i'm using this one to detangle my hair and to style my Hair and then i have a bristle brush that i just washed and my edge brush also just washed just waiting for that to dry, so that i can have a nice clean brush. And then i have this gel right here, which is perfect for humid days and sweaty days like this, will not your edges will not move. So i'm gon na finish that i got some random hair clips over here. I also have my pattern hair pick and then here i got my bobby pins in this little container, which is so cute and then in the other one. I have rubber bands because i like to do like little hairstyles. So i fit all the rubber bands here and i love how cute it is and it won't get messed up or lost or anything because it has a plate. So all i need to do is just wait until my brush is dry i'll, bring them here, and my hair accessory little situation is done, and then i did my makeup one, which is this one right here. I also washed all of my makeup brushes. So that's drying i'll just put that in in the morning, but let me just show you guys how i made it work, there's a lot of stuff in here, but i made it work. So all of my brushes are going to fit here and i already measured it and like i got the perfect amount of brushes to fit there, and so these are some of the products. So these are all of the products that i will be taking on the trip with me for makeup, and i know it's going to be really hot, so i'm probably not going to be wearing makeup on a regular day basis. But again i am still working on this trip, so i still will film like get ready with me, i'll still film. Like makeup videos, i threw in a whole bunch of like the new rare beauty products, and then i brought the laura mercier the tinted moisturizer. I brought the makeup forever hd skin, which is so good, and then i brought the estee lauder double wear just because it's my darkest foundation shade at the moment - and i know for a fact, i'm gon na get tan. So i brought that - and i got this new powder from laura mercier, which i love their regular one, but this is the ultra blurring one. It'S a new one. So i'm excited to try that out and to see how i like it got some lash stuff, some concealers bronzer sharpener. I got literally everything that i need, and then these are the palettes of choice that i brought. I brought the huda beauty, the rich one. I bought the caramel brown one, it's such a good, eyeshadow palette and then the nude and then a highlighting palette. I wish i had more of the under eye patches. I only have one i'll probably pick some up from like target or something over there or walmart. I didn't overdo it. I don't think it looks like a lot, but there's a lot of steps to makeup, but i didn't overdo it. So i'm proud of myself only thing is: i still have shoes. I want to bring this, but i might cut it in half so that i can just bring half, because i obviously don't need all these lashes probably going to wear lashes like maybe once or twice for like a dinner or something. So i definitely want to cut that. I also am planning on bringing these half lashes, which are fun. Lashes are always fun to just throw on. So it's a little bit later now and i just finished drying my curls because they were taking 10 years and a day to like dry - and i was not about that light. I finished packing, which is awesome. I am hungry, it's like five o'clock now. It'S 4. 56.. So it's almost five, i'm sweating i dried my hair. Ah, can i just say i cut off the perfect amount that i needed to like. Give me what i was looking for, so i cut off. I want to say about four inches. This is what it looks like now and i wonder if you guys could see like the fullness. My ends were so straggly. I don't know if you guys were able to tell in different videos, but this is now more thicker and it has way more volume in the bottom versus before it was just like a couple of pelitos like straggly hair, and i really like the full look. This part kind of dried a little longer, because i was air drying it and it's actually still kind of wet. Like this part, i put way too much product. I'M gon na practice is just getting more frequent haircuts and just trimming my ends to avoid all of the like damage like it was bad. If you saw my highlighting video like when my hair was brushed out, the bottom hairs were so bad, but i was telling owen i was like don't touch the length like i want to keep the length, but that's just me keeping damage and the more i did. My hair, the more i realized that so i'm so happy. I just threw my hair up in this bun y'all know when i'm home and my hair's done. This is what i do because i'm sweating - and i don't want my hair in my face - that's also going to help with some volume in the top of my curls, because they were looking kind of flat. So i'm not planning on doing my hair anymore. I leave tomorrow night so at least my curls are done and i'll probably honestly be chilling with my hair. I just love the fullness, i'm so happy. I'M gon na try not to get scissors like happy because sometimes when i get too excited, i'm like ooh, let me just cut some more off, but no, if i can grow it out with this fullness in the bottom. That is what i want. So i do want to grow my hair out, but i want it to be full. I don't want it to be stringy and straggly, so my goal is to grow it out healthy, not just to have blend to say i have length. Alexa pause, stop 7 pm. Now, literally on the dot, i put an alarm for 7 p.m and i need to take a break to walk the dogs because my husband's not home. Yet i have been cleaning deep cleaning all of the things and i wasn't recording because i was listening to worship. Music - and i was just cleaning and stuff like that, so office is clean and filming room is clean. I'Ll show you guys, so my office is clean, feels so good. I just finished mopping look at the dog they're like mom you're gon na. Take me out we're gon na go outside outside outside you, wan na go outside. Okay come on, let's go one second boys, okay, and then i did my filming room as well. Just have to do the unboxing we'll do unboxings later on tonight, once everything else is done, but everything for the most part is ready carpet. My rug not carpet my rug. I still haven't put it on. It'S been like a few weeks. I washed it. I just haven't: put it on so hopefully i'll put that on today and then my next project is the living room. We'Ll say that it's most of my stuff, obviously i'm gon na. Do it really quick? I am gon na get rid of this. I was gon na leave it on my husband said he wouldn't mind, but i don't want to come home to have to pop these balloons and, like you know, i don't have to do that. So i would just clean everything up we're getting mounts for that. Probably tomorrow, because best buy is already gon na be closed by the time my husband gets home. So it's just tightening this space up asap. So but i'm going to take a quick break to walk the dogs and then we will continue. The cleaning just gave the boys a bath, so they're going crazy. Here'S all my stuff for the most part. I still have to kind of review it tomorrow. I'Ll do that right. Now i'm going to shop my stash for virtual pods, because i'm taking this machine, i was going to take this one because it's smaller, but my parents like the big cup - they don't really like espresso shots like that, and i also have way more for tool pods Than the little ones, so this is the only little ones that i have, and these are all of my espresso ones. I mean virtual, so i'm gon na be taking. This is so fun. I also think i'm gon na take my brother so that i don't have to bring the electric one it'll just be easier to just bring the hand frother, so i'm gon na bring that with its little stand. I should turn on the light hold on because put you guys on the chair, so i'm gon na be taking my parents, don't really like pumpkin spice, so i will be taking just four pumpkin spice some bianca forte, i'm gon na take caramel cookie. Definitely vanilla custard pie, my parents, love hazelnuts, so definitely hazelnut melosio is also a must costa rica. This is literally my favorite virtual pod. This one in peru,
