What is up? A welcome back to another Test Cut Tuesday. Door hanger inspired by a door around same elements. Thank you to Kim Lance, Kim and Mike. They sent this to us. She was working on this and she said, I know you guys are probably just getting back from that cruise trying to catch up. So if you wanna do something with it or use it as your Test Cut Tuesday, go for it. So I was feeling it coming right off the cruise. So I went with it. I add a little something to mine. I have a little surprise at the end. I had to add a little friend. Oh, I see. And I tried to make this one a little easier. You know how you keep getting palm trees mixed up? Which palm trees which? One of them's round. And we'll put a little round notch. Mm-mm. Tabs. I hope that's not broken. No, I'm not broken. Oh, cool. I'm jumping right in. Yeah, you said hello or anything. I'm off rhythm.

That's just likes and un-likes, right? I don't know. I think it double likes. I don't think it double likes. Hit it three times to let me know then. No, it likes and un-likes. So you don't want that? No, hit it three times. Yeah. Not three times. All right, let's see what's happening out here. Hannah says she felt lost last week without us. We did too. I think everybody on the cruise talked about test cut Tuesday. We had a test cruise Tuesday. Yeah, we called it our test cut cruise because this first group was our like guinea pigs. Still loving the tabs. I talked a lot about the tabs on the cruise. Loving the tabs. Christian says he's happy to be back on land. Hey, did anybody else feel like you were on the cruise for the next couple of days? I would say through the weekend, I was feeling like, did I just feel the boat list? I think it was like Sunday. Saturday, I thought I had something wrong with me. Yeah, he was for sure. I was like, that's it. I now have some kind of something. I don't want to jinx myself. I was like, Evan Kidd was like, did you just feel the boat list? I was like, shoo. I thought I was having something wrong with my brain. I said, I keep feeling it. I feel like I'm still on the boat. And he was like, oh, me too. I didn't want to say anything that. Who else? I'll just tell you guys, we had such a great time. I am not trying to rub it in, but I just had no, it was better than I could have expected. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, but I was worried that folks weren't gonna have a good time, that they weren't gonna get along, that... We lose subscribers. Who knows what? But everybody, there were 40 people there. Everyone became fast friends.  So the, I guess the itinerary was, we, you, I guess your day, your boarding day, a day at sea, a day in Costa Maya, Cozumel, a day at sea, and then you're back. So boarding day, we all ended up showing up because we used our little cruise chat. So we all met up at the adult pool area, said hello for a bit. And then at 6 p.m., we had our cocktail party, which is a little different than what I had envisioned, but they put us in... Well, not the people, the area. Yeah, it was where they hosted the cocktail party, which I thought would be out in some sort of a like standing area, but it was actually out in like a theater area. So we all sat down in these chairs, but the cruise line did a great job, kept bringing drinks around. We had a lot of band. Yeah, there was band that played, which was good in one respect because there was music playing, but a little challenging in another because they were playing loud. So you found yourself yelling to the person to cross from you. Like you were at a concert.  And then our day at sea, we did a little craft in the morning. We did a little networking. Well, networking the whole time, but a marketing session in the afternoon. And then we had our two excursion days, which we... We have a video coming. Yeah, we'll share all of the details of this. There was more footage than I expected to have, so.  So we created a little script so that he kind of knew what footage to gather. We had our two excursion days and then we had our day at sea, which we did another little craft and another... Well, we ended up not doing... On the last day, you're preparing to go home. The last session was at 2 p.m. And I realized just one another lesson learned. I had quite a few lessons learned, but one of the lessons learned was, let's not try and keep everybody indoors in a conference room at 3 p.m. on the last cruise day. So we ended up trying to make it short. It started at 2 p.m. We were trying to make it short, but we actually talked until 3 p.m. and probably didn't wrap up until 3 p.m. It went later than we had originally planned. Yeah, everybody chit-chatted and shared a lot of good information with and amongst one another. We basically posed some questions and everybody shared their thoughts and opinions, how they do things. So it was easy questions to answer because all you had to do is share how you did it if you wanted to share, you didn't have to. And then we had a little fun that evening, we did a lot of group events. We all hung out together pretty much most of the time. Hey, where's everybody going now? You know, where's everybody going now? We all had dinner together. That was wonderful. We rotated tables so that everybody got to sit with different people. And then we usually attended some sort of event in the evenings. Little trivia, learned that Scott was a master at the 80s trivia. It was such a fun time. The piano bar, such a fun time. Yeah, we had a great time. Can't wait to do it again. We'll see if we can plan something. We talked about maybe not doing a cruise. Everyone was in for another cruise, but if we didn't do a cruise for those of you that are scared of cruising, maybe we do something at an all inclusive resort or something like that. Maybe we do something in Vegas. So when the time comes, we'll be putting a poll out there, getting everyone's opinions and thoughts what they would want to do for the next Kim and Garrett. Make an adventure. Make a conference or something. I don't know, something. We'll come up with something. Let's see. Mandy said, got my sweet tea, ordered some tacos. She's ready for test cut Tuesday. Yeah, Garrett's birthday was on Sunday. Guess what his birthday dinner was? Angeladas, we made him. Actually, Isabel, our daughter Isabel came over and she made the Angeladas for him, which was awesome. Appreciate it. I think it gets real top heavy. Do you even need this layer? I say, oh, you need that layer. Well, tell me what to do, Kim. I'm not telling you what to do. I could just see that it's getting real thick. Well, it's supposed to be like a fanned out. It's fanned out. So it's covering, it's got to create that shadow over the beach chairs, Kim. Well, then how much do you sell this for? Because something like this with all of these layers, does it price out of the $25 price range? Nah, I think we go, I think we do eighth inch. Everything eighth inch. I think it'd be fine. Look, can you guys see what he's adding on to? This is his little addition. Kim, this was his addition. He insisted on keeping the little waves at the bottom, but he added a little shark there. So that he was like lurking under the water. Go ahead, step in. Step in, I'll just take a toe. Just a toe, please. Nibble on a toe. Yeah, and you guys, can you see? I'll see you lean in. This is my Foxy Hughes Paints hat. I ordered the boys' hats so that they say Kim and Garrett make it, but they only had snapbacks and Garrett won't wear a snapback. So he's not wearing his hat, I wasted my money. I didn't see Tana wearing his either. But I'm wearing mine. Do I look poor? And I'm only wearing it today because, why would that be the case? I'm just gonna ignore that. I'm only wearing mine today because I didn't have a chance to wash my hair this morning. I enjoy a fitted cap. Feels complete. What else? Cruz was amazing. We are the 80s music trivia champs. Who said that? Scott. Yep. Yeah, you guys had no idea that Scott Hamill was, what was so funny about that was we all sat down to do this 80s music trivia and they just played a quick snippet of music and I don't know how Scott ended up with the pen and paper to begin with, but he was the one who needed it because he instantly knew the name of the song and the artist. I mean, the rest of us would just go, yep, those of us that do it would say, yep, but he knew it faster than anyone. Kim Lance says she will not miss another one no matter how sick I am. We missed you Kim. We really, really missed you. So poor Kim and Mike got sick maybe two days before, well, a couple of days before traveling. We traveled on Thursday and they couldn't make it. So, I mean, how awful is it to get all the way up to cruise time and then get sick? And I will tell you, I was super paranoid of that. My daughter was actually sick earlier in the week. No, the week before, she was sick and had a fever of like 105. It was 104.5 or whatever. It was up there and it was scary. And then I was like, do not breathe on me. Do not breathe on me, I was freaking out. I hardly would go in a room. She's 16, so I would leave her stuff on her nightstand and then run away real quick and then talk to her on the phone. Have you taken your medicine? Have you done this? And even then I felt like she was breathing on me just looking at her on the video chat. So I am so sorry, you guys are sick. I will tell you next time, I'm gonna make sure you're there. You have to be there. It was definitely, we just were fast friends with everybody. It was, we felt like everybody there was a version of us, just maybe from a different state, right? Everybody had a different flair, but still a lot like us. So we learned a lot about our followers. And about ourselves. Yeah. Hannah said, is it just me or is anyone else not super into laser craft fest this year? Well, this was laser craft fest business edition. I looked at a couple of the sessions. I haven't been through them all yet. We were assigned curfing, so if you didn't know anything about curfing, if you watch our session, maybe you'll learn a little something. I couldn't come up with 20 minutes of curfing stuff. Yeah, they did want it to be a 20 minute video, but I didn't have 20 minutes on curfing, but we did share a lot about curfing. So, you know, it's probably not a bad idea just to watch it. Some of that you will already know. Maybe everything I know. Some of that you might not know. Little tidbits here and there. Let's see what else is going on. I'm way back up here. I'm trying to get down below a little bit. I'm not overly... Eris. Oh, they don't love the Aeon commercial at the beginning of everything. Yeah, Aeon said, if I'm sponsoring this thing, you're gonna know I'm sponsoring it. All right. Just be glad there's no mid-roll. Oh, inscribed laser engraving says, Brandy LOL. I don't know what Brandy said. I missed that, but I get to watch live from the hospital. Baby isn't here yet, but she's fixing to start pushing. Wow. Talk about making it. Who is gonna start pushing? Not you. Not you, right? I can't imagine I would be watching YouTube videos if I were about to start pushing. Don't start pushing until after peakers o'clock. Lois said, it does not give you multiple likes earlier from earlier. Aeon says, too bad you couldn't stream TestCut Tuesday from the cruise. Yeah, we could have saved maybe one of our little crafting session as a TestCut Tuesday or something. Oh, yeah. Internet was horrible. I couldn't even upload my photos.  I filled up my GoPro card and had nowhere to put it. Helen said we actually gained subscribers on the cruise. We didn't lose any. Remember, it was a couple of people that were new subscribers to us. They were there with sponsors and stuff, I think. Did you do a tequila shot challenge? And who won? We did do tequila shots. I don't think anyone won, Lois. Tequila shots. There's never a winner with tequila shots. Yeah, upset everyone. I don't think anyone won. The bar. There was a vote for Vegas. Another vote for Vegas. Res and Dragon Studios says happy birthday, Garrett. Oh, thanks. Perry will be in Gatlinburg March 21st and 22nd if anyone's up there, shout out to us. Perry will be a hot skip and a jump away. Perry's been here, but maybe we can go there. Ooh, I love a Gatlinburg. You know what, we talked about it. You know what else I love? I love Texas. Helen says if we go to Vegas, Tiny Hands Jenny won't network with us because she'll be stuck in the casinos the entire time. That's true. We'll just have to pull her out of the casino. We'll just have to do it at like one that's got a horrible casino. In Vegas. We'll do it at a motel. A motel over by the airport.  Jason Kelsie made it. Hey, Jason. Jason, where you been? You saw your fancy photos. Looking snazzy. Yeah, heading into the office. Oh, Shannon Griswold made it. Griswold's here. Was that Chad? Is Chad there too? I'm sure Chad is working. On the railroad all the way to one base. Shannon says we learned a lot about everyone. Oh wait, we just barely met everyone. Yeah, but you learned a lot, didn't you? We learned a lot about everyone. Is that back home? Yes. Shannon says Chad crushed his phone when we got home in the door. So he needs anyone that sent him info to please resend it. Life without technology. Oh, the old. Oh, no. He's pulling the old new phone. Who this? Yeah, new phone. Who this? Mandy's makes that. Says how hot tequila only makes losers. Right? That's what it was. We did have some tequila. We kept going to the little tequila tours. Talk about upset stomach. Oh, Shannon says we should do Texas. We're gonna do a Houston one. Just do a little conference. I like Galveston. That place was cool. Oh yeah, we had the best Uber driver go into the... We sure did. Go into the cruise ship in the morning. Yeah, his wife actually does crafts and has a small YouTube channel. And oh, TikTok. She has a lot of TikTok, right? Yeah, she's a TikTokger. Yeah, so we liked her page and I think she ended up liking our page, right? He sent their info to her. That was fun. Meet him everywhere. Trudy says I vote for Vegas, Gatlinburg, or Texas. As long as it's on land, I get C second to bathtub. Only take a shower then. Shannon, Chad and Shannon, he just got home. What does that mean, I think? Just got back? Yeah. Christian texted Chad, I don't know, I don't know. Hold on, I'm just, I'm catching up in the middle of things. This is what happens when I start reading, trying to read down fast. When's Garrett going to contact us? Lori, I actually wrote out this extensive email to you. It is long and it's way too much information and Garrett was like, you need to dial that back. That is too much in an email. So you're gonna get about two thirds of it. I really only deleted like the last paragraph. I say give her a gist and set up a call. Yes, so I'm gonna send it to you when I get done here. I did save it as a draft and actually worked on that this morning to kind of fill you in on what we were going to ask you about. Don't worry, you're not fired. So anyway, we're gonna set up a call and chitchat with you guys because it'll be easier to share but I am gonna give you the bulk of it in an email. Let's see, Jason says I can think of better places here in Texas other than Galveston or Houston. Oh yeah, Jason's in Texas too. We get a lot of Texans. Lori said give me both versions. Here's Garrett's version, here's Kim's version. Gets longer.  Shannon said, Chad said he loves seeing Garrett be the crafter. You're the boss and he's the employee today. It reminds him of his house as well. Every Tuesday. This is what he chooses to do. Like he is the worst painter, but on Test Cut Tuesdays, this is what he wants to do. He wants to do the painting and then I stand here and just chitchat and supervise and do it and supervise. Is it this color or like that color? I would say no, I'd say this color. More of a contrast. Otherwise I get in trouble. I gotta stay busy. Yeah, then he starts flipping things and spinning things, things get broken. Turns into a good time. Turns into a real party then. Yep, then things really get better. Do you want me to help you? You don't have a ruler for that? I don't believe one exists. I see how new the paint is. That's a brand new, yeah. So I see how new this boxy used paints. All right, but here, don't use that one. Use this one. Ah, did you already open it? I didn't know. I don't know why that little new piece here then. That should go on our shelf so that we could sell it. I do have a new paint order in. So those of you that have been asking about the 34 pack or the bundles, as soon as those come in, we will get them bottled up and out into the store. I did talk to the vendor about making sure. You can try to get on a rotating schedule so that we're pre-ordering and we always have paints bottled and we don't run in this out of stock thing. Well, last time I blamed that on the rain. I mean, the weather. It was cold. Blame it on the rain? Go ahead, go. Nope, I already did it. Everybody else is gonna sing it now. Whatever you do, don't blame it on you. All right, what's happening here? Let me get back. Let me get back where I lose it. No, it was the, you wouldn't ship it when it was frozen. Yes. When it was a little freezing. All right, hold on, I gotta catch. Catch up, catch up, catch up. Don't put the blame on you. Lori said, I'm glad we're not fired. One of my assistants says that all the time. Please don't fire me. I wish our kids would say that. Yeah, our kid assistants, they do not care. They're like, please fire me. Please fire me. Mandy's here, she had to step away. Oh, food. They forgot my entire order. At least my kids and husband got their food. Oh, poor Mandy. Yeah, well, that's when you take 25% of everybody else's food. Mm-hmm, a little bit of everybody's. Oh, Schmoret is bored. Lois said Garrett monitoring the chat is not his strong suit, better to keep him busy with his hands. I start telling stories. I forget I'm painting or reading. Jenny says Abraham's missing all his new friends. Right. Jenny brought her husband, Abraham, and he was a hoot, he was very fun. He's not allowed to come here. Abraham is in... Oshah. Yeah, is in Oshah. He's with Oshah, he works for Oshah. So don't come here. Don't come checking out my scene here. Everything is great. Above board, totally safe. Oh gosh, yeah, Helen, can I tell your story? Since, I mean, you can tell it in the chat, but I'm gonna tell it in... Oh, about the freaking birth certificate? Yeah, so what is this? Like the night before, two days before, Helen realizes their passport that she's already has. I already have my passport, right? That she has is expired. Her passport is expired. So she's like, fine, I'll use my birth certificate. But guess what? She doesn't have her birth certificate.  I don't know. But the square all the way on blast. But she hasn't talked to her mom in like six years. So she's like not gonna start now, I guess. So she reaches out to some siblings and it's like, hey, can you go over to mom's and get me and get my birth certificate. And I guess they go through some sort of, and I don't know, I'm sure she can tell it with more detail, more drama involved, but they did eventually find the birth certificate at the mom's house and they were gonna overnight it, which would be overnighting it from, oh, on Thursday. Oh, that was Thursday. To the hotel, right? Right, because we, no, no, that was Friday. They were gonna overnight it to be there on Friday. No. Saturday morning. They overnighted it Friday. Yeah, to be there Saturday morning. Saturday is when we have to board the ship. So we were gonna board the ship. I guess our boarding time was at 11.30. Her birth certificate was scheduled to be there at 10.30 on Friday. And she was just watching. Well, as of Friday morning, we didn't even have a location, right? No, no, no, no. Saturday morning, the day we boarded the ship, you didn't even have a tracking number. You're just staring at the tracking number. A new tracking number? Yeah, basically, long story. She did not have a tracking number as of the last minute. Then we see in a group text, right? We're following along. Everybody's on pins and needles. Will she make it? This is crazy. She finally gets a tracking number. And then she is like, okay, now it's in, we're in Galveston. Now it's in Houston. And at this point, she's in Galveston. She's like an hour from where it is, but they do eventually get it to her and they get it to her like right on time, 10.30. I mean, minutes to spare. She could have gone and done a couple of other things. So I just can't even imagine like Tanner thought he, Tanner has his own story. He was right before he left on flight out on Thursday. He realizes that Akira, his girlfriend, doesn't have her birth certificate. But she's like, no worries. I already know where it is. Cause he was like, where is it? She's like, I know where it is. Nobody panic. It's in my old car, which happens to be parked here at the shop. She's like, it's in the glove compartment of my old car. Let's go, Jim will just go get it. But guess what? It wasn't her birth certificate. It was her daughter's birth certificate. So on Thursday, their flight left at 8 p.m. Thursday during the day, he was at Department of Vital Records getting her a birth certificate so that she could then fly and get on the boat. So, and he thought he had the last minute story, but Helen beat him. Can you even believe that the day before wasn't close enough? You had to get day off to beat Helen. You had to get minutes before boarding. I just feel like at this point, Helen needs to rethink all of the trash talking about us being late on Tuesdays. Yeah. All of it. She said, I'm not Type A. Maria wants to know, will you be adding regular colors like red or blue? Where? To what? Did I miss something to this line? To our colors? Because they're up there, red and blue. They don't say red and blue. She said, yeah, like I flew to Texas without knowing where my birth certificate was. I mean, just getting on a plane. You're just pretty confident. I love how confident you were that it was going to work out. Somebody was going to find it and be able to get an exit to you. If not, I mean, at least you had a long weekend in Houston. You could have just had fun in Houston for a few days. It's a party town. Harry wants to know, where's the cruise tan? Harry, we stayed in the conference room. It felt like we were in a conference room most of the time. This is my tan. Yeah. We had our spray tans. You couldn't even tell that either. I'm like, either I have a fun long weekend in Texas or I go on a cruise. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I guess you were like one way or another. I'm having a good time. Viral Essential says to make a trip to Cooperstown, New York. Visit the baseball hall of fame and the Omegang Brewery. Not to mention the best bakery ever. Oh, Viral Essentials. Are you the ones that sent us that? No, who sent us the cookies? Did we even give them a shout out? Did we? Our cookie friends. I think that was them, because they were from Cooperstown. Yeah, is that right? I don't want to not be right. The baked goods? Yeah, all of our fun baked goods. Made me gain all the weight before the cruise. Is that you? Is that you that sent us all the baked goods? Because that was a big two boxes. We guaranteed one little thing for... I made a map. For Viral Essentials, yes, it was her. One little thing for them, made a map for them, which by the way, I kept seeing him working on that map and I was like, what are you doing? We were supposed to be having a daily stand up and he was going in deleting tiny points. And I was like, what are you doing? Are you focused on what we're doing? Yes, I'm focused. But no, he wasn't. I was listening. He was messing with that map. I got two rears. And then, so it was really nice that after he did it, he did it in there with individual points, fixing that thing and making it what he thinks you needed. That wasn't exactly what you needed. But you guys, so they sent us two boxes of baked goods. Cookies, like little crumb cake, like bars, like cookie bars. I don't know, there was all kinds of stuff in there. All I know is I nibbled on all of it, which was the last, oh yeah, some tarts. We did share it with everyone here at the shop. And by everyone, it was like four of us, right? Grace may have had cookies one day when she was in here, but the four of us kept going back to those boxes of goodies. So thank you, thank you, thank you. They were very much appreciated. What's happening there? I'm getting ready to do these things. You can give them a little white base, is that what you're about to do?  If you're gonna do them yellow and lime green, probably. Just, yeah, just put your, yeah, there you go. You got it right there. Maria, to the colors, I was looking for a blood red. Mmm, a dark, dark red, so. Or a bright, bright red. So, or a bright, bright. Is this the new red? I don't think so. I don't think I have the new red here in front of me, but this is the darker one. Did you want one darker than that? You looking for something darker than that or like a brighter red than that? We did get a true, a more true red than what the other one had a little orangey tint to it. So the formula changed. So, Custon Crimson is now more of a true red. You can always email me if you don't see what you want. Let me know, because when I, I did just place that order and they haven't finished boggling it and if I need to add something, I could do that. Shannon says, I agree.  Oh well. Not anymore. Harry says, you need to check his Discord PM. Oh, mine? Okay. I forget. It's like off to the side. Kat appreciated the new red. It was awesome for the taco hanger. Yes. A taco hanger out front. Did she make a taco hanger? Yeah, I guess she made one. I get that basket. Oh, that showed up. As soon as I just moved that basket of rollers, this showed up right in front of me. This plate. Harry wants to know who has the pick of Garrett with no hat. Garrett had to go to dinner in the formal dining room on formal night without a hat. That happens. But guess what? As soon as we left that dining room, he put one on. I think you probably had it with you, right? Well, it's like taking blinders off an animal who's been wearing them for years. That's what he said. He goes, it suddenly gets very bright. It's too bright. It's too bright. What you looking for? Let me help you. My bag. This bag. Is that my bag? Yeah, it is. That's what I like. Start here. Use this. Put you in a new bag. I'm looking for a new bag. For the record, I never complain about being late. I'm talking, I'm taking over under bets. She just wants to know how late we think you'll be. Yeah, you guys, they also made fun of us because we were late to our own cocktail party. We were the last to arrive, and everyone cheered and clapped when we got there. So embarrassed. I was like, oh my gosh. Well, we were almost the last to arrive. I think Chad and Shannon showed up after us, so I didn't feel quite so bad, but we were pretty much the last ones to get there. What are you doing with this thing? Making room for your next things. I don't know.  Yeah, here for those. I'm putting it for those. But I need to spin them as well as freehanding it. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. What did I say? You're not listening to me at all. What are you supposed to be doing something over there? There's not a lot happening in the chat. You guys gotta chat faster. Well, how far did you get on the cruise? Nancy says I ordered paint on March 1st, any idea when it will ship out. March 1st, oh, it should ship out today. I can't imagine. I'll say March 1st was Friday? Yeah, definitely. We're getting there, we're getting pretty close. I think yesterday he was on last Friday or Saturday's orders, so I think it should go out today. I'll double check.  Who? Tanner? Yeah, that's right, he didn't come in Friday and start shipping, he came in on Monday and started shipping. Said you're dead to me until Monday and then came over to the house on Sunday. That was dad, that wasn't boss. I should bring my 80s boyfriend to a live, LOL. What does that mean? Is he 80 years old or really into 80s music? 80s, yeah. Jenny said, Kim, you should bring your 80s boyfriend to a live. Oh, 70s? That was my 70s garb. You mean, yeah, that guy? Yeah, I should totally bring my 70s boyfriend to a live. I don't know where he went. Because you guys, if you are on Discord, make sure you pop in there to hashtag cruise chat because all the photos are in there. You'll be able to see all of our themed nights and just thank you to everyone that came on the cruise and joined us for theme nights. I am glad we were not the only ones. We warned everyone ahead of time that we would be dressing for theme nights. So join us.  Like Caribbean nights? Yeah, Caribbean nights. And then 70s night. And dressed out for 70s night because you knew we were. I thought I was going over the top. And then Christian and Chad, they showed up over the top so it wasn't just us. Christian had a whole thing, all of them, many of them had wigs on, by the way. A lot of wigs happening, man. A lot of curly haired wigs going on. Here, put them right here for you. So I'm trying to help you. I'm going to get to that chair first. Get there. Get it. Overhead is a little bit darker. Why is it darker? Oh, I think it's only on the TV, because it doesn't look that bad. Oh, OK. Maybe that is just a TV. Not too bad. Let me see what am I missing in the chat. Oh, Hannah said, no one in my family knows yet. So keep it quiet. But her IVF transfer worked, and she's currently six weeks along. Oh, congrats.  I bet it did. You have to go in. I don't know what you're going to do. That's going to take a minute. You're just going to have to wait that out or suffer through it. Tough it out. Tough it out, girl. Don't puke on the laser. Christian said, wait till you see the hair. Yeah, it was a whole group of guys. They all took their photo together. Oh, and Tanner. Tanner had his own 70s hair. He didn't go with curly hair. He went with straight, but a lot of wings and a mullet. Yeah. Shannon, I'll host another Zoom that I won't forget. Oh, how to figure out how to use Discord. Yeah, you got to get over there so you can see all the fun photos from the crews. And then, yes, Helen asked earlier, and I missed it, who won the Colorway Challenge. So we talked about that a little bit last night. And Mandy, we can help you follow through with that. But I think we're going to, I don't think we can pick one winner. I mean, me personally, unless we want to, how do you guys want to do it? Do we want to narrow it down to maybe five of them or something, five or six of them? And we do some sort of a vote challenge or we can number all of them and you just comment below. I got to figure out the best way to handle that. There were so many, and it was such a great idea. Mandy, which Mandy? Mandy. Copey, right? They believe Mandy. Oh, Mandy. Mandy, it was her idea to do that and you guys really jumped on it. And I thought that was great. It even inspired us to do that, keeps one. And I don't know that Helen shared hers, but she did a Disney inspired one. Uh-oh, copyright. I think that's why you may not have seen it yet. But there were so many good entries. There are so many options and I love doing that. So we're definitely going to do another one for March. We'll pick one for March. Again, trying to keep it relatively neutral, not like a St. Patrick's Day one, even though we love that. But we're trying to have multiple colorways on something that you're going to use maybe all season long or all year long, all seasons. And I'll post another one because I want to do that again. That was super fun. I learned this trick from somebody at the workshop this weekend. What's that trick? Hold knit and paint knit. Ha, ha, ha. That seems steady. Like it's not going to make a mess, huh? No, it's good. It's good. Hannah said my husband needs to put on his big boy pants and figure out how to craft and run the laser. Well, don't call it crafting then. Yeah, don't call it crafting. Don't call it a comeback. Call it running your small business. Yeah, so I run my small laser business. Oh, Tom said Amazon failed me today. My fan for the laser was supposed to be here and now it's delayed until tomorrow. Oh. I just messed up my night. I know it did. What fan? Exhaust? Yeah, I'm going to say it's an exhaust fan, right?  Actually it doesn't. Boom, boom. Boom, boom. Kim says do a poll with the top five, but leave off names. Gotcha. I like it. Kat did the peeps one and it turned out awesome. Good news. Hey, is that this color? No, what color is that thing? That is, yeah, it is like the, it is Bunces Berry Blast. Yes, it's this one. I don't need this much. I just need a little dab will do me. I might have, okay. You want another plate? You're still going to have to get another plate, right? I got it. Look at this. Here's a professional technique. Right here. Squeeze it right onto your sponge. I picked this technique up from the craft shows. A little craft show technique. Except the plate, I usually dab it on whatever food plate I'm eating. Oh, and the craft shows. Yeah, the craft shows. This is a craft show technique. This is a craft show technique. When you don't have the whole, all of your crafting supplies. Yeah, this is pro level right here. Pro on the go. Pro on the go. Sort of my tackle box. Mandy makes that said, I love the color ways because I'm able to steal ideas for inspiration on my own signs for my markets. Yes, that's the whole reason why I think everyone loved it because now we're going to create a collection or a hashtag for each one, something so that we can start grouping all of the colorway challenges together. So when you come back to Facebook or Discord, you'll be able to go to that particular sign and they'll all pop up and you'll be able to see them all. We talked about that last night.  Pow wow. Yeah, a little pow wow last night and how we might group those together. You see like a. Oh, Tom, the wire broke on my fan while cleaning it. Yeah, I thought that was you when because you were a little bit spoiled because Amazon said it was going to take an extra day and now it's going to take another day. So I know you're dying now. What you need? Yellow. Yellow. You want the yellow paint or the yellow roller? Is that what I just had? Yes. No, yellow paint. Right. Like gypsy gold. Yeah. Oh, you wanted something different than this one. You want a later one. Well, Cider Cellar is later than that. Here, this. You want this? No, that's too pale. This is a sun, Kim. Oh, get it right. What kind of sun is that? I think this is a roller, though. Oh, what do you need? You don't need my roller? What's your roller out of here? Karen Hayden said she made it. Roller? Late, but she made it. Hey, Karen.  Interesting. I don't know what happened there, but I'm glad that it did. Let me say any husband who tagged along on the cruise is now inspired to make with their spouse. I think so. I think so. I think they understand it a little bit more.  Oh, your cute little crafts. Yeah, it's not that. It's a business that a bunch of us are in, right? All right, sorry, I got distracted. Garen had a whole puddle of yellow paint, but it looks pretty good. Oh, what happened? It worked. Racing Dragon Studios, yes, it's awesome. Me and my husband make together all the time. Manny makes that once-the-colorway photo book on Discord. Yes, definitely. We're gonna group them together so that you guys can see all the variations of that high daisy.  We go through so many in the workshops. Oh my gosh, yes, you gotta come by and kind of show folks. You can re-use that sponge. There's a lot more to it. I'm like, oh, that touched a little bit of paint. Throw this one away. You know what this is? Anyone else just hate painting with yellow? Like, come on, yellow, be better at coverage. Right? This is a lazy yellow. Lazy yellow, yellow is lazy. All the yellows are lazy yellow. This one's looking pretty good. Come on, yellow, do your thing. Get along with it. What'd I do with the yellow? Juanita's late, but she's here. While you're here for the good part, Juanita and we're about to put this thing together. You can see how it all comes together. You missed all the fun cruise chat, though. I love it when a plan comes together. Easy. Look at that. Hannah said, hashtag, do better yellow. I like how we're all on yellow's case. Well, I could go either way. You could try harder or just give up altogether. What thickness is the MDF on these beach chairs? These beach chairs are cool. Everything here is quarter inch. I want quarter inch all the way. And I'm not sure that you could totally do this in eighth inch. Garrett just is easier to go for them. I just recently reinforced our door frame, so I thought, why not? Let's do this. Let's see how heavy we could make this thing. Yeah. Res and Dragon Studios says I was getting brush stroke lines and bubbles in my paint on my sign, and the makeup sponge worked really well and smoothed it right out. Yes, yes. Same with these foam rollers. They do a good job if you don't have too much paint on it to make it a nice smooth texture. You see black? Well, we definitely should have a black in here. I can explain it. It's just a little piece. But I think we maybe kilferred this little bin for something else we were doing for the brewery thing, right? Yep. Excuse me. Yep, the old brewery thing. Oh, Hannah said I'd love to do a Discord open paint night, just like open Zoom and everyone worked on their own projects and talking. I think that's a great idea. Maybe we should add something like that. Like just schedule it. So if you want to join and paint as a group, you can do that. I know some of the other guys said they talk about that. They go into the voice channels. They just go in there, open up a voice channel, and then somebody else might pop in and you can just have someone to talk to you while you're crafting. I've done it while I was working on a design. I'm gonna root myself a little new. Sorry.  I'm running out of roots. That's okay, Tally. Tally Outdoor Reynolds says, sorry about the name, this is my business account. I thought that was your last name. I took my son to the park and when we got home, we found this goldfish dead, which is a tough situation for any parent. How do you explain autoerotic asphyxiation to a four-year-old? Tell, what was your goldfish doing? Here's what you say. Did you find the goldfish in a condit? This is what I told my kid that our goldfish moved. I was like, oh, he moved. While you were at school, he had it out and moved to a different home. It was like peace. I just like told it. He moved. Gotta go sew my oats. She was like, oh, I was like, yeah. I could sometimes do that. Sometimes I do that. You should have seen him jack the truck right up to the door. Put his little top hat on. Oh, cool. Christian says we can set that up with a stage channel. I don't even know what that is, but it sounds cool. I don't know what it is, but I mean. Bob Folgem says, same design paint party and we learned your tricks of the trade. Yeah, you could share. I'd give them all up on Tuesdays though. Christian says done. I just set it up. It's called paint party. On it. Tally says she hasn't gotten the email about the it's because I'm behind. I just want you to know I'm now probably three weeks behind. I know I didn't do anything the week before I went on the cruise. I didn't do anything the week of the cruise and I haven't done anything this week either. So I do see the yellow. I do see them coming in. Oh, someone has joined. Talk to your patrons. Someone's joined. Talk to your patron. I'm like, oh no. Oh no. Stop joining. I got a lot to catch up on. I do need to put that on my little task list so that I can see it and remember to go do it. Update Facebook. Problem is, I don't know. I don't really know what the problem is. Maybe I'm just gonna throw this out there and maybe one of you guys know more than I do but I'll send these invites out and then they won't work. I don't know why they don't work or they expire. They do expire but that one I get. Okay, I can send you another one but a lot of times it'll say cannot join and I don't know why you can't join but then the only way I can get you to join is if I send you a link to my private Facebook group like my personal one, Facebook channel, shoot. Facebook page. Send you a link to my personal Facebook page. Then you ask to friend me and then once you're my friend then I can go in and add you as a friend. That works every time. That little trick came from Helen. The problem is I have a bazillion new Facebook friends. They probably don't wanna see that my grandma just turned 98 years old and we went to her birthday party. Probably don't care. But a lot of you said happy birthday to my grandma and that was so nice and I told her that too.  She was like, oh, she thought it was great. She gets it. Look, I hear me yelling. How did I get everyone's attention when I yelled? Great, now you're paying attention. Kris is at ROFL, just doing my job. There is a link on Patreon, it just doesn't work. I don't know why it doesn't work. I don't know why. A thousand times I have researched. I also looked, there's supposed to be a link in your Facebook group where you can basically send that link out to everyone and have them join via invite link or something. And it won't give me that option either. Is it because it's a private group and it's hidden? No, you can only do that if it is a private group. But then there's something about it doesn't work if you don't let groups join your group page. If you only let personal pages join your group page, then the link thing won't work. So I've opened it up. Groups can join my group page. People can join my group page. Chats, dogs. Yeah, my dog Sadie has a page out there. I should have Sadie join the Facebook page. I mean, anybody can join it if I give you the link. And the problem is it still doesn't work. But that's why we want you guys to use Discord now because Discord is integrated with Patreon. So when you join Patreon and then you go over to the Discord channel, there's a link and then you get into Discord. You automatically have access. If you're top tier patron, you automatically have access to the Discord group. And I don't have to do any kind of maintenance to that. They can kind of, it's integrated. And I don't have to go in and remember to add everybody or make sure. Find a friend. Yeah, make sure to find it. Yeah, a photo friend. Find a friend. I had a friend. Get your bunnies. Oh, somebody asked if anyone had issues with Facebook today. I know we did. Woo, that was a panic. We had a small panic attack today. Garrett went in, he said, day before yesterday or after the cruise, he got a bunch of Facebook friend invites. So he added a bunch of people on Facebook and then today he went in, what's happening? What, tell your story. Today he went in to access Facebook and it wouldn't let him log in. It basically said his password was incorrect. And then I was like, oh, you just got your password wrong. And then he was like, I can't get to the group. I can't get to the page. Well, this morning, Grace goes, I'm already friends with my Nana and she just sent me a Facebook request. Should I accept it? I was like, nope, that's how you get hacked. You just accept random Facebook friends from people that are already your friend. Don't do it. And then knowing that you had just accepted a bunch of Facebook friend invites, he was afraid maybe he had gotten so hacked. But then he told me to go over and try Facebook because I am all, so he was like, if I'm hacked then my personal page is hacked. Yeah, our Facebook group is hacked. Our Facebook page is hacked. Like all of it would be hacked. And so he told me to go try it. And guess what? I couldn't get it either. So we both had a small panic attack. Great, now we're hacked. Then we found out Facebook was down. And now we can get back in. Crisis averted, we can actually get in. Oh, Maria said she's been hacked twice so she was not a happy camper today. Right.  Mandy says, Facebook reminded me today to get phone numbers from all the marketplace orders. Yeah, exactly. Harry said, custom work orders used to make me feel creative. Now I need more Xanax. Yeah, I know. They start to stress you out. Oh, Lewis said she got a friend request from a friend who passed away three years ago. Oh, now, don't accept it. Yeah, I think that one's fake. Wow, Hannah says the whole meta thing is scaring me. I had to change all my passwords today as I got six notifications of people trying to log in from around the world on Instagram and Facebook. I don't know. Well, Res and Dragons says she just got in today, back into her account just now. So I don't think I've seen anything. Any crazy attempts to get into our account today. What did I see just now? Oh, V said, thanks, we're the best. She loves her paint and MDF boards. Awesome. Oh, great. Oh, no. What? Perry says he can't get in. I'm sure Christian, you're all over that. Although Christian's probably the one who sent you the link. He said, I'm still having trouble getting into Discord. A couple of people sent me invites, but none of them are worked, so I just gave up. Well, we gotta get that figured out for you, Perry. Let me know if you can't get in. I'll make a little note to follow up with you. All right, are you about there yet? I mean, where are we? We're past beaker's o'clock and you're still 503. I'm ready to start assembling in one second. Making yourself a little gray. Oh, good one. You're so good.  All right, you ready?   I'll get this over here. Tell me, go get you a better glue. I think every week you fight with this glue. Why are we still doing this thing? I enjoy the tough squeeze. I have a new order of a star bond coming in, so let's see if the bottles are easier to squeeze. I'm sure there are plenty of complaints on those. Oh, I'd like to go with my crinkly. Langley BC Canada says, waves hello. Hello, BC Canada. I love the Canada. Harry says I use two or three methods of logging into everything. Yeah, I get it. What are we joining? I have to watch the replay to see what all I missed. Yeah, well, this ended up in paint, but this is what we're doing, a door corner. We took Beach Please and made it into a door corner. Thanks to Kim Lance. This was her idea and she shared it with us. I already had the basics done, so we quickly made it into, well, Garrett tweaked it. He had to add his own spin on it. Which includes the shark and these extra waves on the side. I wouldn't call them extra. Kim had it, so it said, Beach Please down the side. So the Adirondack chairs were on the top and Please went down the side, but Garrett put Beach and then Please into the sun. That's what it is. That's his tweak on the door corner. Tally says, I finally got my star bond and glued my fingers together. I see why y'all struggle. Hashtag the struggle is real. I know. The struggle is real. You should see us at the workshops. Garrett always starts with, you will glue your fingers together, but we have something to, we have debondered to get them apart again. Hello. And I know it freaks them out a little bit, so they're extra careful with it. Are they some extra careful? Others throw caution to the wind, and one lady, I'm not gonna say what dad, I don't know if they follow. One lady went ahead and smoothed out the glue with her finger. Oh, nice. It's like, oh, I wouldn't do that. Don't do it for too long, it'll get stuck right there. Well, I was like, now your finger is not gonna, your phone won't recognize your finger. Oh, Courtney Fretwell says she loves my hat. So cute. That's our donor. That's another one of our donors. She doesn't join often. So thanks for joining us, Court. Mama misses you.  Maybe why she doesn't join often.  Somebody need talent to cut something for them. I hope it's not. She said I can cut them at the same cost and you can pick them up and save on shipping. I think that's great, Talyn. I think that's nice of you. Oh, Perry says he thinks he's in discord now. He just has to figure out how to use it. It's like old AOL chat with rooms. Yep. There's just like little chat rooms, chat threads, just different categories of conversations. Oh, Hannah, Hannah needed something. Oh, she needs rounds, but she can't swing the shipping cost. Yeah. Where is she? Out there near Helen. Oh, yeah. Out there in Utah. Probably knows someone close to you. Oh, Courtney said. Courtney says I missed you too. I caught you on the way home from work. I just want you guys to know that Courtney literally lives like three quarters of a mile from her work. So, that's probably a short chat, huh?  Me too. I don't know how I'm gonna get it out, but I also am like, I need a bigger size, but those 16 ounce bottles are nice because they come with the little two ounce bottles. So you get four of the two ounce bottles with the 16 so you can refill them. It's really nice to have the whole little kit there. Courtney says, and Perry, don't feel bad. I still don't know how to use Discord. I'm not buying that. Courtney's quite the gamer. I'm sure you're out there in Discord. Free W67 says someone's aging themselves by talking about how the old aim days. I own it. I am not a spring chicken. I'm not that old. Who? Perry says he's not that old. Oh. He's old enough to remember the aim days. I don't know what he was talking about there. Lori says, don't forget to send the long version of the email, Kim, L-O-L, or I'm gonna, I got you right here and we'll put you in my little post-it note. Do you know what you're asking for? Could you imagine having to bottle all the bottles of star bond like the paint, hashtag nightmare? That would be. Could you imagine losing control of that? That would be, that would be a nightmare. You good? You got it? I saw you has to take it. Just double checking. And Helen says, thank you, Garrett, for making the palm leaves two parts. You are welcome. I love them two tones. Yeah, live and learn, right? I do that a few times and then I come marching in the room saying, nope, we have to change this cup file. I'm not doing this anymore. Resident Dragon says, I too am well-aged. L-O-L, my birthday's in like 10 days. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Yeah, I had to go ride my bike on my birthday. That was one thing I had to do. Just wanted to make sure I haven't lost it yet. Yeah, he was so funny. I don't know if you guys saw, anybody saw his little post out there? He said, that was like first try. I was able to, go ahead. What are your, what is it? 180 half cabbed out. 180 half cabbed out, first try. Has it been on the bike in like a year? Almost two, right? Maybe, I don't even know. Last summer, I'm not even sure. Right, that's how I felt. I was like, I gotta go ride on my birthday. Yeah, that thing is looking good. I was winded, I was done. Yeah, he came in breathing heavy. That was what I had to make sure I haven't lost it yet. Yeah, that's so funny. You guys, I didn't know it was a thing. So Jenny and Abraham Arzola, they are, they ask us about the enchiladas. And the first thing Abraham said to Garrett, do you like green enchiladas or red enchiladas? And then just now somebody said, let me tell you, Hannah. Garrett, what kind of enchiladas do you like? Red sauce or green sauce? Green sauce. Same thing that Abraham said. And then Helen said, I know I'm gonna get my Latina card revoked, but I love green enchilada sauce with cream of mushroom mixed in it. No, I mean, interesting. I love the red sauce. Yes. The red sauce doesn't love me. My stomach burns for like the next hour. Anything, he's gotten really bad with anything tomato sauce, anything. Well, ever since my ulcer, forget it. Yeah, and the goldbladder. I mean, I think it. Goldbladder, that's all right. Ever since the goldbladder, I can't do the red sauce ever since the goldbladder. That's when I made the change to the green. Yes, that's true. Freaking got me. V says, I need to learn how to design layers. I need to watch Garrett's training. I've got an order and can't find the SVG on Etsy, which is rare, that is rare. And Hannah says, the palm trees are beautiful. This will, will this file be available on discord? Oh yeah. Looks like the test cut went well. Nothing needed to fix him. Okay, can you put that on there? Yes, sir. I can't really go on the fingers apart right now. Your fingers are all gluey. Look at here, I'm helping you guys. Look at me. Look at that. Oh, you just broke it. This is not the one that goes here. It doesn't exactly fit. Well, don't push them down, man. Let me pick it up. What are you doing? Are you sure? I think, I think you painted the, well now this is telling me not the long sign. It's this guy that goes here. This guy goes here. They just lined up there. Well, this one lines up there too, see? There's a, there's a short wing and a long wing. Oh, don't take it all. Yeah. This one, here, this little guy can go here. If you put the glue on it, I'll put it back on. Cause I see this as a short sign. Yeah. Don't show us. Garrett's loving my help. I got you, look at me, I'm helping.  And then changed it. That's, that's unlike me. Right. There we go. I think that one's good.  Think I'll make a sign for my cardiologist who had me do two surgeries for stents and didn't do any. So I'll make a heart that says stent free. Oh, Helen says I'm worried that Chris, Minnesota makes isn't here. Did I scare her as a cabin mate? That's funny. Yeah, they were roomies. Maybe we all, there's your law subscriber. No, Chris was nice. Chris, Chris loved us. Oh, Adina says I want to make that ASAP. I love the addition of the birds. It's the cherry on top. It is those little birds flying up there. Almost together. This little shark is adorable because he's smiling. That's what's funny about it. This menacing shark is like, hey friends. Hey friends. Just put your toes in. Just give them a nibble. Just give your little toes a nibble. Don't mind me, y'all. Do you have a marker? Uh, yeah, maybe. Was that too big? I think that'll work. Let's see, I got this little guy. I want this small one. I don't seem to have a shark be over here. They come and they go. There you go. Little shark.  What? This whole door corner. It didn't take up as much room as a 16 inch on the board. They really only used, like this is 12 by 12. But there's a lot of painting involved here. All right guys, you see it. What would you do? Oh, it's, we're facing forward now. Yep. Back to the front. What'd you do? What's your charge? Yeah. All these layers, you see them. All these colors. Gonna have to go 35 on it myself. Would you pay 35 for that? Well, if I saw it hanging, I might. I think we gotta do the math on it. Didn't take that long. I think we can batch them out to you. Let's see. I'll paint it myself and see. Put the file out. You guys, let us know. Is it a paint in the butt? Yeah, but if you, look how cute this is though. It is so adorable. You can put a crab down there. Oh yeah. Shark. Crab, I think that's a great one. What else did you put in there? Yeah. A jellyfish. A pail and some, a pail and a shovel. A conch shell.  Well, I was gonna move into a little mermaid or what's the other one that the rock was in? I've aged out at Disney show. They don't have any small kids anymore. The Disney movie, the old Moana. Oh, Moana. Moana, put Moana in there. Whatever. You're good. Sebastian. Mandy makes that, says $40 in Canada. What colors paint did you use? I will tell you, V, in the file. I'm gonna put it in the file. All of them. Oh, a starfish, a seahorse. You guys. A starfish, a seahorse. Aquaman. SpongeBob. SpongeBob, that's a good one. Helen said, Kim Lance, thank you. You could put a pineapple in there. Dolphin, yeah. Isn't dolphin just a little more friendly than a shark? Great in my beach themed bathroom. Yes, that'd be adorable. Jenny said, yeah, he has a Jenny. Jenny said, don't forget about Abe's birthday sign. I haven't. Nope, I know, I don't remember. Aquaman. Oh, Kevin and Penny says, just arrived, we'll have to watch from the start. You will. You'll watch us chay-chat. But really, this is the good part, yeah. You're here, you made it. You made it for the good stuff. You wanna hold it? Oh, actually, you want me to hold it while you wrap it up and say bye? Unless you plan to keep chay-chatting since I did all the talking today. Well, what time is it? 5.20. To bat that time, I gotta go make my own enchiladas tonight. You gotta go get back to work. And we will see you on Friday where we'll do a building and make it. We got a good one. You guys, we're gonna bring back two old buddies of ours this week. Gonna bring back our old friends. You know who it is. Anybody know who it is real quick? Who's coming back? Who are our old friends? Just checking my pocket. Yep, I'm ready to go. We will see you on Friday. Upside down, pineapple. Right.


Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Snolli. Welcome to a new video. Today I'm filming a Princess Polly haul and I'm so excited because it could not be more perfect timing. I'm headed to the beach in two days and I got so many cute things for my beach trip. I'm gonna be there for like two weeks. I think it's supposed to be in the 80s, which is weird because it's literally like colder than where I am now in Austin. But I got such cute pieces and I also couldn't help myself. I got some more fall items too for when I get back. Shout out to Princess Polly for sponsoring this video. They actually ship from within the US and you qualify for free express shipping if your order is over $50. Princess Polly also offers after-pay and shop pay for all US customers. I'm gonna link everything mentioned in the video below and you guys already know I'm gonna hook you up with a discount code. Use the code on the screen, Snolli20 to get you 20% off and let's get into the video. The first top we have is the Darlington Crop Top in Color Beige. Usually I would get a size 10 and pretty much everything Princess Polly. But now I feel like at least in the top I can go for an 8. So it fits perfectly. It actually reminds me of, I want to say it's the Kayla top. It's the green top I've been wearing for like a lot of events. It's just so flattering so when I saw this I was like, okay I need another one in like a different color. The style between this one and the other one is very similar but this one cuts a little bit higher. The other one is lower so you definitely have to be conscious of what brought you wear. I have another crop top. This one is called the Rib Buster. I got it in the color white because I wanted something basic that I could wear with pretty much everything. And also I live in Austin, Texas so it's not gonna get cold for a while which sucks. So that means I'll still be wearing pretty summery clothes or at least just like crop tops with like longer jeans. I cannot wait to wear my mom jeans again. Oh my goodness it makes me so excited even thinking about that. I feel like I would definitely use this as a layering piece or honestly just like going out on the town like this. I really don't have to dress up too much here in Austin thankfully to go out so I feel like this would be like a perfect going out outfit if I didn't want to layer anything on top. Speaking of layering I got this jacket and I've had other like shirt jackets I guess but not like the OG style like this cute little plaid style. So I finally got one. I can add it to my wardrobe now. I feel like I'm gonna be living in this. I feel like if I wore like a basic outfit and just threw this on I would like look so much more put together but also like effortlessly put together if that makes sense. I did size up in this one. I got a size 12 and it's pretty long on me so I definitely could have stuck to this size 10 if I wanted it to be just like you know normally oversized but I think I kind of like it oversized. It gives me all the comfy fall vibes. I feel like the closest thing I'm gonna get to fall weather is going to the beach soon because it's gonna be a little bit chillier there but still kind of like hot. Next up we have a Cindy Cropped sweater. I've always wanted one of these kind of like sweater vests. I mean I don't I guess this isn't really a vest. I was thinking you could like layer it with something. I've seen like people layer it with like button down kind of things and I actually got a button down dress so I kind of want to see what it looks like over this but you could definitely wear it as a normal just like top. You don't have to like layer it. Also if you guys have never shopped at Princess Polly the quality on everything is honestly 10 out of 10. This sweater specifically is like the perfect amount of thickness not too crazy thick not too thin. It's like just perfect. Also I'm sorry about the lighting. It was a boomy day but now the sun's coming out which we love so I'm really not complaining about being hit with this light. Also can we take a minute for this filming background because I'm pretty sure this is my first video with the couch and the cactus. I feel like I'm gonna talk about these two things in every video but I just love them so much and I still need to get artwork for the back so gonna work on that. Next up is a graphic tee and this one actually says Yosemite. Can you see it? There we go. I got it in a size 10. I kind of wanted to size up just so I could like wear it to sleep which obviously I still could. I just need to wear shorts underneath it. I seriously cannot have enough graphic tees because they're perfect for running errands. You can like dress them up. You can have it like look like straight style with biker shorts and cool sneakers so you can really do a lot with these shirts so that's why I definitely want to stock up on them. And I don't know if you can see the color really well on camera because it's a little bit muted but it is this beige kind of yellow color. Next up is a sachi sweater in beige and I love this pattern. It's kind of like what's it called hound's tooth pattern I think. I like it because usually I don't really get pattern stuff. I always try to stick to like solids or neutrals but since this is a neutral I was like okay I feel like that's good enough like we could do a pattern. So I'm trying to experiment a little bit with my fall wardrobe but this is also kind of like a longer sweater if you wanted to just like wear it as a kind of like a shirt dress with some leggings I feel like you could get away with that. I did get the size large slash extra large in this one. Also I love that the sleeves are kind of like that looser fit because sometimes sweaters just make me feel really constricted. Last fall and winter I lived in like two sweaters and then just like all my just sweatshirts so I feel like it's really important just to have like a couple like really good quality sweaters. Next up we have some fun fall pants and these are honestly so flattering. They hit me perfectly where I want them on my torso and I just paired it with this for now this like corset top kind of thing and I think it's so cute. This would be so adorable at like a pumpkin patch I could see it now. On the bottom they're kind of like a flare or like a boot cut I feel like I would say more of a flare and honestly if they had the like skinny slim fit at the bottom I feel like I wouldn't like them as much.  I feel like the old gals could never. I guess you could kind of wear it as like an off the shoulder but I feel like off the shoulder is just kind of like overdone now. I feel like if I had the choice I wouldn't do that. I think it looks so pretty and like dainty and I'm definitely going to bring this to the beach maybe wear it for a date night but knowing me I'll probably like spill something on it so definitely going to have to wear a napkin boot with this. Up next we have the Fiorella mini dress and I also got this in a size 10. This one has like this tie back. I don't think I tied it very well just because I was like trying it on. In my last princess poly haul I got like a similar dress but it had these pom pom rose all the way down the dress it's so cute so I kind of wanted to get something similar. I got that one in a pink so I had to get another white dress. Up next we have the Cherry mini dress in the color green. It definitely needs some steaming so don't mind the wrinkles but I feel like this is such a flattering dress. It's not a silk dress which online I definitely thought it was going to be but I'm kind of happy it's not because I feel like silk dresses don't always flatter the body but this is kind of like more of a lineny fabric which I definitely prefer. Also just a heads up it is a mini dress so it is on the shorter side. I'd probably wear some like spanks kind of things with this. Guys I told you I got way too many white dresses but this one is the Aisha long sleeve collared dress kind of thing and this one's more flowy. I have another button down that I'm going to show you guys next and that one's a little bit more form fitting. I wanted to try out both just to see how I could style both differently because I feel like that's more of a corset vibe. Whereas I compared this dress with a sweater vest or even a sweater and have these glow collars pop out but we need some cold weather for that first so gotta wait for that. But this dress is so flattering in the next few months I actually have a work conference coming up and I was a little worried because I obviously work from home and I do not have any work clothes so I feel like this could definitely be an option for that. Last way dress I swear I wanted to go out with a bang this is called the cover girl mini dress. I got this in size 10 and look how beautiful it is. It's so structured. The quality is so good. The sides have these pleats on them and even the sleeves are so detailed they are kind of long on me. I maybe wouldn't go out to eat in this but it is such a beautiful piece. This is the last clothing piece I picked out. I have some accessories that I'm so excited to show you guys. Anyways this is the Harley set in blue and it is so cute. It's so thick very like warm and I had like a top time kind of like pulling this over just because it's not super stretchy since it is thick. But then I realized that there was a zipper on the side and it was like that makes a lot of sense so I went through all the struggle. That zipper is going to be very helpful but I feel like this is just so freaking cute like just imagine me running errands on South Congress or even going to the mall or something in this cute set with like really cool sneakers. Maybe even throw on a ball cap and like really into hats right now. But yeah this is the Harley set and it's also coming to the beach with me. Speaking of the beach I saw this on princesspoly.com and I had to get it. It's kind of like this like terry material and it's just like this peach orange bag and that would be a cute little beach bag. I feel like Toast came out of nowhere but honestly I'm so here for it because it just looks so effortless. The name of this bag is Somersault terry tote peach. The last thing I have to show you are my new favorite sneakers. These are literally first of all so comfortable. I was telling Ryan I was like wait you're telling me I've been missing out on new balances this whole freaking time. I slipped them on and like I swear I don't even need to break them in. And I feel like every shoe you kind of need to break in but these are like walking on a cloud but also this color is the color sea salt. I think the style is like four or five seven or something but this color the pink kind of new thing is called sea salt and I literally looked everywhere and I'm pretty sure all of the sizes are sold out like everywhere. And I got these on princesspoly like literally last week and they're all sold out so I'm really hoping that they bring them back. I want you guys all to have them and we can all match because I just freaking love these shoes. So that is it at my princesspoly haul. I hope you guys enjoyed it. All the links are down below.  It was the first haul that I filmed after my surgery so it was so exciting trying on just like different sizes even just seeing how I fit better into the clothes. It just makes me so happy so I'll definitely be updating you guys on you know post-op later down the road.

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. Happy happy Friday. I just pulled into ww It is roughly 626 25 my meeting opens up at 6 30 for way in and the actual workshop starts at 7 So I usually try to get here a little bit early so I can film for you guys before I head in for a weigh-in So how was your guys's week? My week overall was pretty good I did have a couple of days of struggling. I don't know what it is But this last week I was so tired and so hungry like I'm talking exhausted Tired like can go to bed at seven o'clock tired just extremely extremely exhausted and so hungry so Hungry all week like Crazy and then yesterday started I get up I get ready for the day I get ready to leave for work and shark week is upon us. That is why I've been hungry That is why I've been tired. So that explains a lot of that So today for me is day two and I am a hot mess of bloat. I do not feel well I have cramps. I'm bloated like I'm visibly bloated in my stomach like I can feel the bloat I didn't feel so hot yesterday, but today being day two is always the worst for me so I don't know. I don't know what this scale is gonna look like because I am Bloated I don't feel well Like I said, I had a couple of kind of rough days because of being excessively hungry So honestly, I don't know what's gonna happen when I step on the scale I'm not anticipating a good thing which kind of bums me out because overall I had a pretty good week despite being extremely hungry But I know when shark week hits us women it can play a lot of tricks on our body and our body could do a lot of crazy things Causing a lot of problems.  It could be better than I'm even thinking that it's gonna be I have no idea So I'm gonna hop into my workshop Excited to stay listen to what they have to share with us because with the way I'm feeling I definitely need the workshop and I'll be back afterwards to share the topic recap and let you know how my way in went Hey guys, welcome back I just pulled into work from my WWE workshop So I wanted to share with you the topic that we discussed.  I eat protein with breakfast with lunch with dinner But my snacks typically tend to veer away from protein I always have a built bar and as you know, there is 15 grams of protein in a built bar, which is fantastic So I definitely feel like I'm getting some protein there But then my other snack that I eat throughout the day is generally more carby So I may have some thinnables some of the cheddar crackers from thinnables. I may have I've been having like a little package of the skinny dipped almonds We got some samples at work and they're only two points and yes, almonds have some protein But I've I tend to veer away from protein when it comes to snacking So I really need to rethink that maybe snacks should be filled with things such as hard-boiled eggs or Jerky or pepperoni sticks or cheese like cheese. I was thinking that how good that sounds I haven't had a light mozzarella cheese stick and I don't know how long so it was actually a really good topic We talked about why protein is important So not only is protein a source of power a source of Nutrients for your body. It also keeps you full. It keeps you satisfied It helps build muscle and really honestly protein should be the foundation of every single meal And I know that you shouldn't just have carbs. You should pair carbs with protein So that is something that I'm going to definitely start thinking about and Incorporating more into my eating now that we went through this workshop because it really is something that I feel like I don't even notice that it's a struggle for me and maybe that hinders my weight loss So what do you guys think? What do you think about having carbs by themselves pairing protein with carbs? What's your thought on protein for not only the base of your meals, but also as a Huge proponent of your snacks throughout the day Also, as you know a lot of the zero-point foods on ww are protein-based things such as chicken eggs Beans those things are high in protein So that is one of the reasons ww makes those zero points and veers you towards the direction of using those as not just the Foundation of your meals, but also as your snacks So think about what you eat throughout the day Are you basing a lot of your meals around protein or are you having a lot of carb heavy meals? Now in my opinion carbs are not bad I could never do a program that takes away carbs carbs also fuel your body They give you energy and I don't think that it's healthy to remove any food group out of your diet completely So I'm not a proponent of low carb or no carb But I'm also thinking that having an excessive amount of carbs isn't a good decision either And I think back over my foods and they are a little bit carb heavy So I'm going to again veer myself a little bit more towards protein So let's talk about protein and some options for you as far as ww is concerned So let's talk about a swap in protein. So think about your proteins that you eat Are they high in smart points or low in smart points or a combination of both? And if you tend to eat a lot of high point proteins things such as red meat or fattier cuts of protein bacon That type of thing how about making a swap this week? Take one of your higher point protein sources and swap it for a lower or zero point Protein that way it helps you get in your protein a little bit more for me I am going to make hard-boiled eggs, which was not even on my meal prep plan so that I can have those for snacks this next week You don't always even have to eat the yolk if you're trying to watch your cholesterol Just eating the whites of the hard-boiled egg with a little bit of seasoning some salt some pepper My favorite is everything but the bagel seasoning it really helps pump up your protein for your meals And they are zero points so it allows you to save your points for those meals that you do want to have maybe a higher protein count lean protein, so protein count Higher points value protein. So, you know, I follow the 2-2 one method I limit myself to two zero point proteins two zero point fruits and one zero point starch per day So one of my meals always always has a protein source that has points And I just work it into my points for the day So let's make it a challenge to up our protein Stick to the low point or zero point proteins for the majority of your meals at least two If you follow my 2-2 one plan and let's see if pumping up the protein this next week Makes a difference when we hop on the scale. Alrighty So let's talk about when I stepped on the scale as I mentioned My life is horrible and I started shark week yesterday So today is day two. So I am extremely bloated I do not feel well and when I hopped on the scale It all came to fruition for me. I actually gained 1.6 I about lost it when I stepped on the scale But then immediately my mind shifted and I thought there's no way that I gained 1.6 pounds of fat this last week So I am attributing it to Being a woman once a month and I'm hoping to see that and then some fall off of the scale Next week. So I'm a little bit disappointed It's never nice to see such a large gain when you hop on the scale But then again, we have to think about why that gain is happening Is it of our own doing or is it because our body? Is going through something whether it's medication or shark week or something that's causing us to gain weight Maybe you started a new workout program and your muscles are extremely sore and retaining water. So I am okay with I'm not okay with the gain But I'm okay with the gain because I know that it wasn't something that I did I didn't go completely off the rails and eat everything in sight this last week So I know that I'm going to see that next week. So that is what I'm going to focus on You know me. I try to keep it positive. I like to keep my channel positive my social media positive So I'm going to also keep this video positive and I know that I'm going to see that drop on the scale next week. So I'm okay with it In a sense and I'm not going to let it get me down. It's just going to help me refocus Be re-energize for the upcoming week. So for this next week My goals are to one up my protein and two I would like to get a blue dot six out of seven days So I'm not necessarily doing a blue dot challenge But if you're with me on trying to get six out of seven blue dots, great Let's put a group together on my facebook page. If you are not part of my tribe Make sure that you join my facebook page. I'm going to put it right here on this screen for you guys Make sure that you hop on and join so we can share with each other How are we goes did we up our protein?
