Veronica I have to tell you I run a Facebook exercise group for people who enjoy walking/hiking and entering team challenges using their step tracking devices. You 100% have to curate your community, sad to say, otherwise there are individuals who will make it unenjoyable or even toxic for others. That’s the responsibility of any good creator or moderator -and on a personal level for yourself among your online friends group, as well as groups you belong to. Always feel confident to prune that which distracts from the experience you want and from the experience you wish to cultivate for your viewers. I’m not saying don’t let people have their opinions, rather employ boundaries when the expression of those opinions aren’t respectful or productive. As always, you’re such a thoughtful lady, and definitely my favorite content creator.
Thank you so much for your kind compliment, and well said with regard to curating the community. I agree 100%! Opinions are welcome so long as they are expressed cordially and with decorum. 👍👍👍
Oh no, not the conspiracy theory lady 🤯 Good on you for blocking. That other one had no business being mean to you. You are the sweetest. Good riddance with both
I’m a beach and beautiful water girlie and have NEVER even considered going to Disney… until now. It sounds absolutely magical and I’m in a place in life where I’m loving and appreciating the magic all around me 🙏🏾. This was an inspiring chat start to finish. 😌
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Disney is a whole experience with pros and cons buy worth trying OFF season. Don't brave those crowds during peak times. Miserable!
In the 1970's my best friend and I were age 10. Her mother booked us into the Disneyland Hotel in California, gave us cash and ride tickets and sent us out to ride the Monorail into the park. She stayed back at the hotel. So 2 ten yr olds hung out at Disneyland all day, riding the rides! Unbelievable right? Not good parenting but things were different back then.....great memories for me.
I've only been to Universal Studios once. It was so much fun!! Love the Harry Potter alleyway, that dragon fire was super hot😂. The butter beer was an experience. Lunch at the Monster themed restaurant was awesome. It is a magical place😊.
Just came home from a 4 days trip in Rome with my husbond, and was so lovely 🇮🇹♥️ The best thing was to see and experience the Saint Peters Church, and I’m not even catholic
Hey Veronica 💖 Hygge is a Danish Word/expression, and it is about enjoying “small” moment alone or together with loved ones. In English it is a bit like a combination of being content and it’s cozy 🥰 Hugs from Denmark 💖💖💖
I love a Disney vacation every few years. In between, we enjoy a mostly active vacation with a couple relaxing days and some window shopping, but we don’t really buy a lot of. We also like to fly in and then do a few state road trip. We have done the all inclusive resort and a cruise and enjoyed them, but don’t usually want to go to the same place more than twice (Disney excluded) so they are good once a decade.
Oh Disney, how I love going to the parks. I have to tell you that the thing that has stopped me from booking our next trip is that dang 7am genie plus hustle! I’m too sloth like with technology. It always worked out in the end but starting off everyday for seven straight days with that made me feel like I needed a second vacay to unwind. lol it’s still a great time. Glad you had fun. Thanks for sharing.
Oh believe me! I totally understand that struggle. Disney has to do better by its loyal customers. Such foolishness to have to go through that AND pay high prices to get in. 🙄 Come on, Disney!
I went to Jamaica with a group of friends. Some on them went on excursions while the rest of us stayed on the resort and relaxed in front of the beach and it was my favorite part of the vacation! I’ve done the excursion when I went to the DR which was nice but relaxing is more of my thing. I absolutely loved the video 💜
Thanks for sharing your update, V❤ it’s always good to see/hear from you, it’s much like hanging-out with a dear friend! I don’t watch much sci-fi, but you’ve piqued my interest in Dune 😊 And, can you believe it? I’ve never been to any of the Disney theme parks! And while the idea of seeing the actors, characters, architecture, exhibits, etc does appeal to me - as I’ve gotten older, I just can’t do crowds. They make me claustrophobic! I’m glad you enjoyed it tho & thanks so much for sharing glimpses of it with us. Very cool!!
Hi Corina! 🥰 Thank you so much! I'm glad these videos feel cozy like coffee talk with a friend. Check out the two Dune movies - really worth watching. And I understand about the crowds at the parks. It's one of the major cons for me, too, especially at peak season times. Too many people just... peopling. 😆😆😆
I’ve never been to Disney but the way the you’re describing these rides makes me want to experience it at least once. Diagon Alley sounds amazing! Just like in the movies. I want to see it!
Good evening Veronica ! I hear you about social media and I seem to be unfollowing and deleting so much crap on Instagram ,I don’t use FB much anymore ,I’m cleaning house everywhere LOL
Love the finally look 🤩 I think what kicked off your recent obsession for luxury lipstick was that HOS lipstick package 😉😂 I absolutely agree, I’ve been curating my social media so it’s just things that I’m interested in even though I was never following much mess, I’m just really focused on content that not only interests me but also motivates me in regards to things I want to get into like working out for example. We absolutely have to protect our peace and the peace of our subscribers that are always so fun and positive so the negative ppl can get the boot with no hesitation ✌🏽😂 oh ok thanks I’ve been needing something good to watch so I’ll have to check out From and Dune 😉
Thank you, Denise! Oooooh weeeee! Those HoS lipstick cases are EVERYTHING! So pretty!! 💖 And yes, curating social media so that it brings joy, not stress and negativity, is key! 💯💯💯 Mean people don't get airtime in OUR comment sections. Take the hate elsewhere. 🎤 Definitely check out From - catch up on the first seasons. I think you'll love the show. Dune, also. Excellent movies - 1 and 2.
I love your videos. It's good you're just moving on and turning your attention from those people. People rarely realize what they turn their attention to, grows. Just like those commentators obsessed about things and were coming from low vibrations, if they keep their attention there, it just grows.
I just started following this lady that lives near floridas beaches and she is an avid seashell hunter. I’ve learned so much already and she’s so relaxing to watch. Something really different for me I really enjoy since I don’t live anywhere near a beach. 😄
Hi my lovely! ❤️ I didn’t buy a single item of makeup during the sale! 😊 I did buy Chanel Allure edp, and Pure Poison. Ulta doesn’t allow you to use a discount on Chanel. Sephora does! That’s all I got. Proud of myself! I loved hearing about your moment of bliss🫠 Disney vacations have always been expensive. Even in 1984 My best vacation was going to Nashville Fanfare in ‘92. I’d love to take a trip up the Mississippi River on a boat like the Mississippi or Delta Queen. ❤ Have a wonderful week!❤😘🥰
Hiii Leah! 💖 Oh wow! A Mississippi River trip sounds delightful. Great choice! 👍 I didn't realize Ulta did not allow Chanel in sales. Darn! Well, Sephora for the win! What is Fanfare? Should I look that up?
It’s a gathering of country music stars at the fairgrounds and at The Grand Old Opry. We met Johnny Cash, June Carter, (unfortunately both have passed) and Bobby Bare. The shows were great, the people were so nice! We took a Riverboat ride. The trip was a graduation gifts for my daughter. We were there for a week. We still have all our autographs! It was quite crowded. 😅
Good morning. I really enjoyed your thoughts on opinions/manners/maturity. Edited to say I so enjoy hearing all of your thoughts from movies to makeup to life philosophies.
@@essentialveronica it wasn’t so tropical that I felt out of place wearing it. It’s always been hard for me to wear those real tropical perfumes that smell like suntan lotion , bananas or tropical fruit salad lol just doesn’t fit my lifestyle. I was pleasantly surprised by this one because it had enough flowerbomb DNA to keep it grounded, wearable for most occasions, not just a vacation scent , which is what I initially thought it was going to be. I’ll be getting a bottle probably for Mother’s Day or my bday in July👍🏻
I’m definitely the “ Dull” girl I don’t know why people always assume I live an exciting life 🤣 I am so boring yet content! ❤ I can feel your joy when you mention the connection you have to Disney, I agree it’s all about the moment and memories that are made and remembered 😉 I personally don’t have the patience lol and the open mouth sneezing 🤧 absolutely not 🤣🤦♀️
The open mouth sneezing was OUT OF CONTROL 😬 Like, come on, people! Yes, girl! A dull life can be a perfectly content one, and I'm so here for that! The little things! 💖💖💖
So glad you had a lovely vacation and happy to see you back! I have stopped most social media for the same reasons you have. People are just rude and hateful, and seem to enjoy stirring things up. I have no patience for that. I am sticking to just watching uplifting channels like yours on RUclips. If I want to know the news I have one or two places where I just spend a minute seeing if I need to buy emergency supplies (kidding…sort of) and just getting the gist of what is happening. Mostly bad stuff🙈 For vacation I just want a beautiful view, preferably at the beach or the mountains, peace and quiet, and of course good food! But, I am 70, so, more into mellow these days. i will try out that FB page you recommended. Sounds right up my alley. Still addicted to Naked and Afraid!
Karen, we are literally watching Naked & Afraid right now 😂😂😂 I don't watch the news either. There's nothing I can do about all of the horrible things happening in the world, and I, like you, get the gist from other quicker sources. Why depress myself further? No use. Yes, uplifting social media is the only way to go. Let it add to and enhance our lives, not drag us down. I love a good view and good food! Great vacation choice. 💖💖💖
@@essentialveronica ironic timing! I was going to ask you…a few ladies on Naked and afraid wear false eyelashes. How in the world do they keep them on for more than a day??? I am lucky to get them to stay on through a wedding😄 Things I ponder🤔
LMBO! I wondered the SAME! I "think" those are lash extensions that applied at the salons with high powered glue. Some go on the show with makeup. Now THAT is BRAVE considering how dirty and foul they are coming out of the challenges! 😂😂😂
Hei Veronica! Your vacation in Disney world sounds like so much fun, but I can totally relate to what you say about other peoples beaviours....disgusting!!😂 My husband and I are going to Italy this summer/autumn, we are driving from Norway and will spend about 2 months on the trip. We will stay in a city in Umbria, and are planning to go by train to visit Rome and Napoli and other places. I really love to visit churches, museums and those kind of things. But I also like to just stay in one place, to soak in the atmosphere, try out the local food, and get some kind of impression of the city or region where we are staying. And I will of course do some perfumeshopping!
Thank you! 💖 Oh gosh, yes! I prefer not to come back with everyone else's germs. Ew! 😂 I remember you mentioning your long trip plans. Sounds amazing! Part of my interesting in Spain and Portugal is to see historic and modern architecture and eat amazing food. I think it would be delightful!
Hi Veronica! I've become curious about luxury lipsticks. Those Gucci ones are stunning. I adore the Chanel lip liners. You look absolutely stunning! Have a blessed day.💕
I didn't buy much from Sephora sale, I really don't need anything. I feel the older you get life does get dull i don't feel the need to be every where, i am comfortable being home, going to shows, movies, concerts, i don't have a lot of people around me all the time, I love having meaning full convos....
I love that, Theresa! If you're on Facebook, you might enjoy some of those groups I mentioned. I'm also in a few generation groups that post nostalgic things, like 80s images and references that are simply FUN. No drama, just joy! 💖💖💖
Spain is amazing as is France ,Europe in General is spectacular ! I like a bit of everything on vacation ,I love cities but then I love to laze about on a beach This was a great video Veronica Hugs ❤
Hi Veronica, I have a hygge welcome mat from Ikea! Im packing tonight for our annual spring break trip to Palm Springs, California (not doing Coachella but it will be happening while we're there). Booked a summer trip to Las Vegas (I know I said i wouldn't go back awhile ago) but were going to the Sphere for a concert, super psyched! Your final look was gorgeous. Be well friend🥰🌄🌴🍹🛩
Hi! I'd love to go to Palm Springs 🌴 I've never been! Where in Vegas are you staying? What concert are you seeing? I'm jealous that you're seeing a concert in the sphere - soooo cool! 🎉 And thank you so much!
We are seeing Dead and Company, and staying close by at The Horseshoe, not my choice of Bellagio, 😂, but it looks ok.Need to budget for some shopping!!!
@@essentialveronica of course, that’s what I said too, I was like, well, I get life happens. But everytime here lately, it’s been something negative. I watch RUclips to escape from stress. I have my own stresses in life. Thats not the same as someone just complaining about everything which is what this person was doing. It got old for me
There’s something about the wind that speaks to me and is spiritual. It’s like God is in the wind. Knowing who is compatible with you on social media and real life is important. I’m glad your blocking game is strong!!!😂
Yes! Well said. There's something special about that breeze with the perfect temperature on a beautiful day. The presence of the divine. 🙏 And yes, I block the folks with my Pootietang belt. 😂
I love the Nette bottle but I’m not crazy about the scent. I ordered a few lip liners and Lawless lipglosses. I did get the Sephora powder bronzer and the Sephora bronzer brush. I bought two of the Basma blushes. I did get my Farmacology night cream. I was really restrained! From Ulta I bought all the Cerave facial wash and retinol for my daughter, as well as the travel sizes since she is flying for air ambulance service. I bought all the Kopari shower gel, body butter and shower oil. I’m struggling with dry skin. I also bought a lower lash mascara, since I’m making a mess of my lower lashes. I’m over the keyboard warriors!! Protect your happiness! You make me happy and I’m all about sharing joy and happiness! It is a must for all of us!! I’ve missed you!! I did buy Valaya and waiting on Musc Moschus! Loved your chat!! Loved your perfume choices for your trip! 10 days is a long time there! Polynesian is fabulous but quite expensive especially for 10 days!! Great to have our Essential Veronica back! Hope you had a great Spring Break making memories!! 😊❤
Awww thank you! You're so sweet! 💖 Wow, you really were restrained in your purchases this year. Which lower lash Mascara did you pick up? I've only ever used the Mac one. My lower lash game is also a mess, sadly 😂 I agree - keyboard warriors are exhausting. Like... find another hobby, please! Major eye roll. One day I will stay at Polynesian - I've wanted to stay there since I saw it so very long ago. 🥰 I saw the luau there before that got discontinued. Too bad they don't do that show anymore.
I got Clinique Lash Power it’s just always been the best for my messy game on the bottom lashes. I also had recently picked up the Caliray & I do like it and the thin brush. I was very restrained but I did just pick up another Bond #9 New York Flowers & Kajal by Kajal, and Musc Moschus!! I loved hearing about your Disney trip!! The Luau’s were the best, that’s so disappointing!! Hope you have a great week!! 😊❤
I couldn’t get into Stranger Things. I have been watching the Gentleman on Netflix and oh my goodness!! It’s good!! How cute with taking matching HOS perfumes to Disney.
Hello beautiful! So good to see you , hope you had a wonderful time with family 🥰👍🏻 I’ve done some light shopping during the Sephora sale. No perfumes. Just skincare, lipliners and lip products . Still waiting on some to be delivered. I need to find a holy grail lipliner, I’ve had the hardest time finding one that checks all the boxes for me
@@essentialveronica I need it to be cool toned light nude. Nyx beige nude is my exact lip color, so I need one just a tad bit darker. Smooth but stay on. Some of the ones I tried, skip across the lip line because it’s dry and that hurts . I ordered the makeup by Mario beige nude, the new fair toned pillow talk liner and also makeup by Mario lip liner in tan. I know that’s a little warmer but it might work. Anastasia muted mauve is ok but I’m trying to find one that’s less purpley lol that’s not a word but you get my point😄
Oh okay! I especially love the Huda Beauty ones but I wonder if those would be either too warm or too creamy. Have you ever tried the Makeup 4ever ones? Those are drier but smooth and don't skip and they have good color variety.
@@essentialveronica I haven’t tried those yet. But I’ve got the 3 coming in the mail . 2 different colors of makeup by Mario and a charlotte tilbury one. If those don’t work for overlining my lips, I might be able to use them to fill in and start over looking for another lipliner to overline my lips with. Veronica, guess what I found this past weekend at TJ Maxx?? I found a 3.4 oz Ellis Brooklyn Bee edp for only $59 😮🤷🏻♀️ I couldn’t believe it. It retails for $155 , I had to tell someone who’d appreciate it because my family is like, what’s that? 😂
I've gotten to the point where I don't even want to leave comments on videos anymore because half the time, some nut comes along to say something nasty in response. It's not even like I say anything controversial, people seem to go out of their way to misunderstand me so that they can start an argument with me. I recently left a comment on a video about tradwives and it was a comment being supportive of women and how we're all different. Well this other woman comes along and accuses me of putting down feminine women and that I'm trying to "own men." She took what I said completely out of context, put words in my mouth, and then proceeded to insult me. And it's this sort of crazy stuff all the time.
I know what you mean. People get all worked up about other people's opinions and literally want to argue in a comment thread. Makes no sense and such a waste of energy. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Yes, great stuff! No need to to suffer fools in comments or anywhere else. Byeeee 🙋🏻♀️😂 I need to watch the Dune movies. Oh, From!!! Can’t wait for that to come back too💗
So glad Essential Veronica is back! Unpopular opinion..."Dune"🙅🏼♀️Read the book and saw the movie in the 80s. Nope...hope I don't get blocked 😐 glad you had a great vacation. I vary from wanting to do nothing or see the world on vacation. Definitely a curated social media for me. On a perfume note....Instagram ads in my feed show Santa Maria Novella perfumes. Have you tried them? I remember buying the soaps years ago. Thoughts??
LMBO! Only the mean and nasty people get blocked. You're allowed not to enjoy Dune! Although I will say, the two modern version movies are worth seeing. Maybe watch some previews on RUclips to see if it tickles your fancy. I have a gazillion samples from Santa Maria Novella. They remind me of Dusita a bit - I'm not sure if they use natural ingredients but they seem high quality and nicely done. Check them out! A lot to choose from.
@essentialveronica Miss V...if you could work some of the gazillion(lol) of Santa Maria Novella samples into a video...I would be grateful. I'm not sure I've ever heard you review the line.
Sephora copied all of Ultas sales items during their sale so it makes sense Ulta did the same. 😂 I totally missed the Ulta sale, I had no idea but its probably for the best😢 I went a little overboard with Sephora😩 only 2 fragrances though. I'm currently obsessed with lip oils and balms! I have ALL of them😮
People are so angry and unhinged these days. It’s wild. 🤦♀️ And people coughing/sneezing & not covering their mouths… I can’t. I have not watched Dune yet. I love Stranger Things and I am so psyched for the final season😬. Season 4 was SO good. My favorite show ever is Fleabag. Such a brilliantly hilarious show (if you like dark quirky comedy). Ripley on Netflix was also a fantastic watch. Andrew Scott is clearly the running theme here 😂. Loved listening to your adventures at Disney. ❤️
I'm telling you! And it doesn't take much for those people to get triggered. 🤦♀️ I don't have energy for it! I'm so glad you love Stranger Things! It's such an awesome show. I'll have to look up Fleabag! We love a good dark humor show. Thank you!!! 💖💖💖
I want to go to the beach so bad… shopping is good too but there are no beaches here so if I had to choose one vacation, it would be a secluded beach. I don’t want to be on a touristy beach
@@essentialveronica I’ve been researching it myself . She goes to different islands and beaches, I knew nothing about beaches before I watched her. Lol what I’ve learned so far, is that the state parks within Florida, contain beaches or islands that are more secluded because there are no hotels on the beach, you get to the beach by boat , lot of walking as well. That’s mostly for people who like to explore, snorkel, hunt seashells, that’s me! Lol I want to do that 😁 I haven’t made my mind up yet but I’ve never been to the ocean , so I’m dying to go . One thing, the water has to be clear 👌I’m not getting in any water that I can’t see what’s in there lol Clearwater beach is known for their soft white sand and clear water but it’s also real touristy. I wouldn’t go in summer, I’d go at the end of summer or m, like, now.
@@essentialveronica I’d really love to go to Florida keys , well, if we’re talking about wishful thinking, I’d love to go to Greece & Italy 💖beautiful, but realistically, Florida beaches would be satisfying as well, as long as we go when it’s not too crowded
@@essentialveronica yes, I didn’t know that until I started watching that channel I mentioned. It’s called “SWF Beach life” When you’re drinking your coffee or hot tea on a rainy day, relaxing. Wanting to watch something different, check her out. So soothing. You’ll even get to see some ocean critters ♥️
Ahem…Helloo Veronica. You don’t want to come to Australia? , Australia is a great place to visit. Your American dollar gets so much here. (Except perfume) 😬 Don’t you want to cuddle a koala and feed a kangaroo? Great wines, great food. Friendly people. Come on down! 😃🇦🇺
I had to come back and finish. There’s more than one dull women’s club on facebook. I’m really trying to learn how to live in the moment. The bra going down 🤦🏽♀️
DisneyWorld definately looks better than DisneyLand.. no contest. DL is old and small. I haven't been to DL since 2002. My Sister and her daughter love DL and go every other year. 😊

Welcome back and good evening Veronica 😊.

Good evening Veronica ! I hear you about social media and I seem to be unfollowing and deleting so much crap on Instagram ,I don’t use FB much anymore ,I’m cleaning house everywhere LOL

Have a wonderful week!❤😘🥰

@@leahmiranda8359 that sounds so special and amazing!
Good morning. I really enjoyed your thoughts on opinions/manners/maturity. Edited to say I so enjoy hearing all of your thoughts from movies to makeup to life philosophies.
Thank you so much! 💖🥰 I'm a big fan of being kind to others unless you have genuine reasons not to be.
Really interesting hearing about all the Disney stuff - I’ve never done it but it’s fun to live vicariously through you! 💕💕💕
Thank you! It's the happiest place on earth! 🥰
Big hugs. Thanks for the realness! 🥰
Thank you for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
I really liked the flowerbomb tiger lily when I tried it in store not long ago , so pretty
I agree! Tropical and floral goodness! 💯
@@essentialveronica it wasn’t so tropical that I felt out of place wearing it. It’s always been hard for me to wear those real tropical perfumes that smell like suntan lotion , bananas or tropical fruit salad lol just doesn’t fit my lifestyle. I was pleasantly surprised by this one because it had enough flowerbomb DNA to keep it grounded, wearable for most occasions, not just a vacation scent , which is what I initially thought it was going to be. I’ll be getting a bottle probably for Mother’s Day or my bday in July👍🏻
Love you brought up Hygge.What a delight.... made me smile. Really touched me. More later.
Hi Pattie! We all need a little hygge in our lives! 🥰🥰🥰
I’m definitely the “ Dull” girl I don’t know why people always assume I live an exciting life 🤣 I am so boring yet content! ❤ I can feel your joy when you mention the connection you have to Disney, I agree it’s all about the moment and memories that are made and remembered 😉 I personally don’t have the patience lol and the open mouth sneezing 🤧 absolutely not 🤣🤦♀️
The open mouth sneezing was OUT OF CONTROL 😬 Like, come on, people! Yes, girl! A dull life can be a perfectly content one, and I'm so here for that! The little things! 💖💖💖
So glad you had a lovely vacation and happy to see you back! I have stopped most social media for the same reasons you have. People are just rude and hateful, and seem to enjoy stirring things up. I have no patience for that. I am sticking to just watching uplifting channels like yours on RUclips. If I want to know the news I have one or two places where I just spend a minute seeing if I need to buy emergency supplies (kidding…sort of) and just getting the gist of what is happening. Mostly bad stuff🙈 For vacation I just want a beautiful view, preferably at the beach or the mountains, peace and quiet, and of course good food! But, I am 70, so, more into mellow these days. i will try out that FB page you recommended. Sounds right up my alley. Still addicted to Naked and Afraid!
Karen, we are literally watching Naked & Afraid right now 😂😂😂 I don't watch the news either. There's nothing I can do about all of the horrible things happening in the world, and I, like you, get the gist from other quicker sources. Why depress myself further? No use. Yes, uplifting social media is the only way to go. Let it add to and enhance our lives, not drag us down. I love a good view and good food! Great vacation choice. 💖💖💖
@@essentialveronica ironic timing! I was going to ask you…a few ladies on Naked and afraid wear false eyelashes. How in the world do they keep them on for more than a day??? I am lucky to get them to stay on through a wedding😄 Things I ponder🤔
LMBO! I wondered the SAME! I "think" those are lash extensions that applied at the salons with high powered glue. Some go on the show with makeup. Now THAT is BRAVE considering how dirty and foul they are coming out of the challenges! 😂😂😂
@@essentialveronica RIGHT???😬
Hei Veronica! Your vacation in Disney world sounds like so much fun, but I can totally relate to what you say about other peoples beaviours....disgusting!!😂 My husband and I are going to Italy this summer/autumn, we are driving from Norway and will spend about 2 months on the trip. We will stay in a city in Umbria, and are planning to go by train to visit Rome and Napoli and other places. I really love to visit churches, museums and those kind of things. But I also like to just stay in one place, to soak in the atmosphere, try out the local food, and get some kind of impression of the city or region where we are staying. And I will of course do some perfumeshopping!
Thank you! 💖 Oh gosh, yes! I prefer not to come back with everyone else's germs. Ew! 😂 I remember you mentioning your long trip plans. Sounds amazing! Part of my interesting in Spain and Portugal is to see historic and modern architecture and eat amazing food. I think it would be delightful!
Dull Women’s Club! I’m a member too and I LOVE that group!!!
Oh yay! So many interesting women in the group! 💯
@@essentialveronica ironically, yes! 😂
@@anjeesorge 😂
Hi Veronica! I've become curious about luxury lipsticks. Those Gucci ones are stunning. I adore the Chanel lip liners. You look absolutely stunning! Have a blessed day.💕
Thank you so much! 💖 Yes those Gucci Lipsticks are a whole OBSESSION for me! Love them!!!
I didn't buy much from Sephora sale, I really don't need anything. I feel the older you get life does get dull i don't feel the need to be every where, i am comfortable being home, going to shows, movies, concerts, i don't have a lot of people around me all the time, I love having meaning full convos....
I love that, Theresa! If you're on Facebook, you might enjoy some of those groups I mentioned. I'm also in a few generation groups that post nostalgic things, like 80s images and references that are simply FUN. No drama, just joy! 💖💖💖
I’m back to watch ☕️ I am so with you about being in a country with free speech yet not having to say everything that comes to ones mind
Hey girl! Exactly. Exercising discretion and humility is equally important. It's okay NOT to speak, sometimes. 💯💯💯
Spain is amazing as is France ,Europe in General is spectacular ! I like a bit of everything on vacation ,I love cities but then I love to laze about on a beach
This was a great video Veronica
Hugs ❤
Yes, variety on vacation can be a lot of fun. 🥰💖 Thank you so much!
Your makeup look came out so beautifully. All those new rides since when I last visited Disney World. Looks so fun! Love this video! ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Thank youuuu!! I think you'd love them all! The rides are so fun (if you know the tricks to get on them). 💖
I’m watching you on my tv instead of my phone and that ND pallet looks amazing and has now made my wishlist
It's hard to use because it's so bright but it's also really fun.
Hello my gorgeous friend! Sounds like you had a wonderful vacay. That Nette bottle does look like an aquarium 😂😂
Hiii! I enjoyed myself. 🥰 Yes, a pink fish 🐟 aquarium 😆
A vacation for me is shopping and sitting on the beach and doing nothing...but I hate sand 😉😂
Yes, dealing with the mess that sand makes is a pain! I do like to stick my feet in it though. 🥰
I got a little bit from both places but I kept it respectable with the sales.💜
Me too. I had to rein it in this round. 👍
Hi Veronica, I have a hygge welcome mat from Ikea! Im packing tonight for our annual spring break trip to Palm Springs, California (not doing Coachella but it will be happening while we're there). Booked a summer trip to Las Vegas (I know I said i wouldn't go back awhile ago) but were going to the Sphere for a concert, super psyched! Your final look was gorgeous. Be well friend🥰🌄🌴🍹🛩
Hi! I'd love to go to Palm Springs 🌴 I've never been! Where in Vegas are you staying? What concert are you seeing? I'm jealous that you're seeing a concert in the sphere - soooo cool! 🎉 And thank you so much!
We are seeing Dead and Company, and staying close by at The Horseshoe, not my choice of Bellagio, 😂, but it looks ok.Need to budget for some shopping!!!
@morganlefay2599 girl I hear you! Enjoy yourself! 💖💖💖
@@essentialveronica ty
There’s a couple people I recently had to unfollow because everytime I watch lately, it was just too heavy for me. Too much drama
Oh yeah. We all have life trials and tribulations but all drama all the time is just tiresome. Ugh. I hear you.
@@essentialveronica of course, that’s what I said too, I was like, well, I get life happens. But everytime here lately, it’s been something negative. I watch RUclips to escape from stress. I have my own stresses in life. Thats not the same as someone just complaining about everything which is what this person was doing. It got old for me
@@Danit.Talkscentswithme I totally understand and agree!
Dang you didn’t even go to the bathroom. Maybe I need to check it out.
Yes! But watch part 1 first so you understand what's happening in Part 2
OMG I was waiting for Dune 2 since 1 came out. Let me tell you how I felt when I realized there was going to be a part 3. "Pearl clutching"
I mean... that final scene of Dune 2 left me WANTING!!!! I'm ready for part 3!!
Hiiiiiiiii! Listening while winding down for the day.❤
Hiiiii friend! Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖
Disney sounds amazing 🤩 I’d love to take Nora
She would LOVVVVVE it! 👍👍👍
Such an interesting conversation. Thank you.
Hiiii Nancy! So nice to see you in the comments. Thanks for watching! 💖💖💖
There’s something about the wind that speaks to me and is spiritual. It’s like God is in the wind.
Knowing who is compatible with you on social media and real life is important. I’m glad your blocking game is strong!!!😂
Yes! Well said. There's something special about that breeze with the perfect temperature on a beautiful day. The presence of the divine. 🙏 And yes, I block the folks with my Pootietang belt. 😂
I Love From!!!! It's so good!
Yessss! Can't wait for the new season! So excited.
Oh my goodness I almost got Pear Jam but I decided to wait. I’m going to end up getting a trial size of it
Yes definitely sample that one FIRST
I love the Nette bottle but I’m not crazy about the scent. I ordered a few lip liners and Lawless lipglosses. I did get the Sephora powder bronzer and the Sephora bronzer brush. I bought two of the Basma blushes. I did get my Farmacology night cream. I was really restrained! From Ulta I bought all the Cerave facial wash and retinol for my daughter, as well as the travel sizes since she is flying for air ambulance service. I bought all the Kopari shower gel, body butter and shower oil. I’m struggling with dry skin. I also bought a lower lash mascara, since I’m making a mess of my lower lashes. I’m over the keyboard warriors!! Protect your happiness! You make me happy and I’m all about sharing joy and happiness! It is a must for all of us!! I’ve missed you!! I did buy Valaya and waiting on Musc Moschus! Loved your chat!! Loved your perfume choices for your trip! 10 days is a long time there! Polynesian is fabulous but quite expensive especially for 10 days!! Great to have our Essential Veronica back! Hope you had a great Spring Break making memories!! 😊❤
Awww thank you! You're so sweet! 💖 Wow, you really were restrained in your purchases this year. Which lower lash Mascara did you pick up? I've only ever used the Mac one. My lower lash game is also a mess, sadly 😂 I agree - keyboard warriors are exhausting. Like... find another hobby, please! Major eye roll. One day I will stay at Polynesian - I've wanted to stay there since I saw it so very long ago. 🥰 I saw the luau there before that got discontinued. Too bad they don't do that show anymore.
I got Clinique Lash Power it’s just always been the best for my messy game on the bottom lashes. I also had recently picked up the Caliray & I do like it and the thin brush. I was very restrained but I did just pick up another Bond #9 New York Flowers & Kajal by Kajal, and Musc Moschus!! I loved hearing about your Disney trip!! The Luau’s were the best, that’s so disappointing!! Hope you have a great week!! 😊❤
I couldn’t get into Stranger Things. I have been watching the Gentleman on Netflix and oh my goodness!! It’s good!! How cute with taking matching HOS perfumes to Disney.
I will check out the Gentleman! Thanks. Oh I had so much fun with those decants! 😂
Hello beautiful! So good to see you , hope you had a wonderful time with family 🥰👍🏻 I’ve done some light shopping during the Sephora sale. No perfumes. Just skincare, lipliners and lip products . Still waiting on some to be delivered. I need to find a holy grail lipliner, I’ve had the hardest time finding one that checks all the boxes for me
Thank you, I enjoyed myself! 💖 What are you looking for in a lipliner?
@@essentialveronica I need it to be cool toned light nude. Nyx beige nude is my exact lip color, so I need one just a tad bit darker. Smooth but stay on. Some of the ones I tried, skip across the lip line because it’s dry and that hurts . I ordered the makeup by Mario beige nude, the new fair toned pillow talk liner and also makeup by Mario lip liner in tan. I know that’s a little warmer but it might work. Anastasia muted mauve is ok but I’m trying to find one that’s less purpley lol that’s not a word but you get my point😄
Oh okay! I especially love the Huda Beauty ones but I wonder if those would be either too warm or too creamy. Have you ever tried the Makeup 4ever ones? Those are drier but smooth and don't skip and they have good color variety.
@@essentialveronica I haven’t tried those yet. But I’ve got the 3 coming in the mail . 2 different colors of makeup by Mario and a charlotte tilbury one. If those don’t work for overlining my lips, I might be able to use them to fill in and start over looking for another lipliner to overline my lips with. Veronica, guess what I found this past weekend at TJ Maxx?? I found a 3.4 oz Ellis Brooklyn Bee edp for only $59 😮🤷🏻♀️ I couldn’t believe it. It retails for $155 , I had to tell someone who’d appreciate it because my family is like, what’s that? 😂
I've gotten to the point where I don't even want to leave comments on videos anymore because half the time, some nut comes along to say something nasty in response. It's not even like I say anything controversial, people seem to go out of their way to misunderstand me so that they can start an argument with me. I recently left a comment on a video about tradwives and it was a comment being supportive of women and how we're all different. Well this other woman comes along and accuses me of putting down feminine women and that I'm trying to "own men." She took what I said completely out of context, put words in my mouth, and then proceeded to insult me. And it's this sort of crazy stuff all the time.
I know what you mean. People get all worked up about other people's opinions and literally want to argue in a comment thread. Makes no sense and such a waste of energy. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I got mostly skincare at the Sephora sale. trying to keep Father Time at bay.
You and me both! 😊
Yes, great stuff! No need to to suffer fools in comments or anywhere else. Byeeee 🙋🏻♀️😂 I need to watch the Dune movies. Oh, From!!! Can’t wait for that to come back too💗
Hi friend! 💖 Yes, mean miserable people BE GONE! 🤣 Please see both Dune movies and let's chat about it!
So glad Essential Veronica is back! Unpopular opinion..."Dune"🙅🏼♀️Read the book and saw the movie in the 80s. Nope...hope I don't get blocked 😐 glad you had a great vacation. I vary from wanting to do nothing or see the world on vacation. Definitely a curated social media for me. On a perfume note....Instagram ads in my feed show Santa Maria Novella perfumes. Have you tried them? I remember buying the soaps years ago. Thoughts??
LMBO! Only the mean and nasty people get blocked. You're allowed not to enjoy Dune! Although I will say, the two modern version movies are worth seeing. Maybe watch some previews on RUclips to see if it tickles your fancy. I have a gazillion samples from Santa Maria Novella. They remind me of Dusita a bit - I'm not sure if they use natural ingredients but they seem high quality and nicely done. Check them out! A lot to choose from.
@essentialveronica Miss V...if you could work some of the gazillion(lol) of Santa Maria Novella samples into a video...I would be grateful. I'm not sure I've ever heard you review the line.
Sephora copied all of Ultas sales items during their sale so it makes sense Ulta did the same. 😂
I totally missed the Ulta sale, I had no idea but its probably for the best😢
I went a little overboard with Sephora😩 only 2 fragrances though. I'm currently obsessed with lip oils and balms! I have ALL of them😮
Yes, exactly! Ulta was like, "Hold my beer. I got something for Sephora." 😂😂😂 Which lip oils and balms are your faves???
People are so angry and unhinged these days. It’s wild. 🤦♀️ And people coughing/sneezing & not covering their mouths… I can’t.
I have not watched Dune yet. I love Stranger Things and I am so psyched for the final season😬. Season 4 was SO good.
My favorite show ever is Fleabag. Such a brilliantly hilarious show (if you like dark quirky comedy). Ripley on Netflix was also a fantastic watch. Andrew Scott is clearly the running theme here 😂. Loved listening to your adventures at Disney. ❤️
I'm telling you! And it doesn't take much for those people to get triggered. 🤦♀️ I don't have energy for it! I'm so glad you love Stranger Things! It's such an awesome show. I'll have to look up Fleabag! We love a good dark humor show. Thank you!!! 💖💖💖
Hello beautiful!❤
Hiiiii Rose! 💖
I have you on the big screen preparing dinner lol 😉
That's scary! 😂
@@essentialveronica not at all my son said your voice is calm ( unlike mines) 🤣
Awwww que lindo!
I want to go to the beach so bad… shopping is good too but there are no beaches here so if I had to choose one vacation, it would be a secluded beach. I don’t want to be on a touristy beach
I understand! Do you know where you'd like to go? I don't like touristy beaches either. I prefer isolated secluded beaches.
@@essentialveronica I’ve been researching it myself . She goes to different islands and beaches, I knew nothing about beaches before I watched her. Lol what I’ve learned so far, is that the state parks within Florida, contain beaches or islands that are more secluded because there are no hotels on the beach, you get to the beach by boat , lot of walking as well. That’s mostly for people who like to explore, snorkel, hunt seashells, that’s me! Lol I want to do that 😁 I haven’t made my mind up yet but I’ve never been to the ocean , so I’m dying to go . One thing, the water has to be clear 👌I’m not getting in any water that I can’t see what’s in there lol Clearwater beach is known for their soft white sand and clear water but it’s also real touristy. I wouldn’t go in summer, I’d go at the end of summer or m, like, now.
@@essentialveronica I’d really love to go to Florida keys , well, if we’re talking about wishful thinking, I’d love to go to Greece & Italy 💖beautiful, but realistically, Florida beaches would be satisfying as well, as long as we go when it’s not too crowded
@@Danit.Talkscentswithme those Florida state parks are FANTASTIC for exploring secluded beaches. 🌴💖
@@essentialveronica yes, I didn’t know that until I started watching that channel I mentioned. It’s called “SWF Beach life”
When you’re drinking your coffee or hot tea on a rainy day, relaxing. Wanting to watch something different, check her out. So soothing. You’ll even get to see some ocean critters ♥️
❤
💖💖💖💖
Ahem…Helloo Veronica. You don’t want to come to Australia? , Australia is a great place to visit. Your American dollar gets so much here. (Except perfume) 😬 Don’t you want to cuddle a koala and feed a kangaroo? Great wines, great food. Friendly people. Come on down! 😃🇦🇺
Well, since you mentioned it, I need to add Australia and New Zealand to the list of places to visit! Thanks for pointing this out! 🥰🥰🥰
I had to come back and finish. There’s more than one dull women’s club on facebook. I’m really trying to learn how to live in the moment. The bra going down 🤦🏽♀️
Oh! Okay, I'm in the one called "The Dull Women's (original)". That's how the name shows up. Girl! These dang bra straps are so unruly 😬😩
Okay, paused to gripe about bra straps ALWAYS falling. Thought it was just me. Do I have sloping shoulders or something!?!😅
You and me both! Like, why??? I've been professionally measured and purchased all types. Sigh. 😩
DisneyWorld definately looks better than DisneyLand.. no contest. DL is old and small. I haven't been to DL since 2002. My Sister and her daughter love DL and go every other year. 😊
I agree. The four parks in Orlando are undefeated. 👍👍👍
I dismiss ppl in a heartbeat. Ain't got time for the nonsense.
I'm at that point now, too. If you "mean to be mean," see ya! Life's too short. 💯💯💯
Shitty is not french. 😂
😂😂😂 We always say "pardon my French" before cussing. I don't even know where that comes from.
