weekend in my life as a childfree 38 year old! trader joe's haul, thrift w/me & world market snacks

This is the stuff that Drew and I ended up getting. Even though it is 100° today here, we're not going to talk about that. God help us. >> Cheers by the garbage can. >> Look at her. She's gorgeous. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to another vlog. It is a Friday, but I kind of have the day off today. So, we're starting off a weekend vlog with like a fun little day off. Well, I mean, I'm doing a little bit of work this morning, but it is 10:40. I was up at like 4:00 a.m. as I always am. And so, I was like doing a bunch of reading and then I ended up falling back asleep. So, I was asleep until like 8:00, 8:30, something like that, which is insane for me. So, got a little bit of a late start to the day. Had my breakfast. And now it is time to get a little bit of work done before we head out for the day. We're going to go over to Drew's mom's house, have a little family time. We're going to probably like bop around, maybe do a little bit of shopping. Not sure. It's kind of hot outside. And then yeah, I don't really know what else we have planned for the weekend. But first, we're going to start off with a little bit of work. I have a couple little quick things to film. And then it's time to party. And by party, I mean like, you know, I don't know, go to Costco and swim a little. This is life in my late 30s. Here we go. I'm not kidding. By the way, I cannot stop singing that Luke Bryan song that I only know exists because I saw it on Tik Tok where he's like, "Slam goes the door. Something goes to something. And like the whole song is just that. And people have been commenting fart goes the butt under his [laughter] videos. And that's all Drew and I have been doing all morning is just yelling fart goes the butt at each other. Anyways, okay. All right. Got that done. Now we're going to head downstairs. Oh my god, the AC is so loud. It's driving me insane. I need to find a mic for this vlog camera cuz I'm starting to lose it. All right, we're getting ready to head out the door in a second and I'm going to fill up my water bottle for the day. And I'm actually going to use some of this Pure hydration that has become my obsession because as you guys know, it is extremely hot here in Arizona and I get dehydrated so easily. And some days for me, water alone just isn't enough. It doesn't replenish everything my body loses. It needs electrolytes to actually put that water to use. And Cure helps your body absorb water more effectively but without the added sugar, which I love. This is the tropical variety pack. The strawberry kiwi is I think my favorite, but tropical punch, blood orange, and watermelon are also really good. And like, sorry, but the packaging alone. So adorable. We also have the classic variety pack. This is our second one. And then the green apple is actually surprisingly good. And I'm not really much of an apple person, but I love it. And I just really love that electrolytes don't just add fluid volume, like they actually help your body absorb water. And what an electrolyte formula does for your body is so much better than just drinking water on it, though. I've already got my ice in here too, don't you worry. And cure hydrates you faster than just water alone as well, which I absolutely love. I mix her up. Especially if I'm going like to the pool and I know I'm going to be outside for a long period of time. It's really nice to be able to just have something that's going to help when I'm out there sweating. Let's be honest, it's so hot here. Also wanted to add that you can really tell the difference that there's no added sugars. It's not overly sweet like some other ones that I've tried. It's just so refreshing and it tastes so good. It's also just great for a daily habit as well. So, make sure you check out my link in the description box below or you can scan the QR code on screen here. And be sure to use my coupon code, Carrie Dayton Vlogs 20 to shop. Let's do a taste test. No, like I'm literally not kidding. It is so good. I'm not just saying that. It's amazing. All right, let's hit the road. [music] >> Far goes the far goes the bug. >> Been in my head since >> I literally talked about it in my vlog. This is many hours later. I saw someone say that we should try Burlington Code Factory. Or is it just called Burlington now? Either way, for like more perfumes. They have Doljang Gabbana Light Blue. I was going to give this to Drew's sister cuz she told me she used to wear this, but it's still $50. That feels like a lot. Then I also found Paris Hilton for $11.99. And then the original Britney Spears Fantasy. I'm going to wear the hell out of both of these. They actually smell kind of similar. There's also another Curve. I think this is the women one. Oh no, it's for men. Just kidding. They also have an OP perfume. I feel like I vaguely remember this. This is the men one though and it's only $10, so not bad. There's a bunch of guests. Billy Eyish, Calvin Klein. I saw [music] some CK1. Freaking throwback. Okay, I'm gonna test my perfumes. We're gonna do Britney Spears first. >> Let's hope they smell better than the other one. >> Doing this for younger me. Britney Spears fantasy. Not intense. Not candied fantasy. Just regular fantasy. Here we go. Yes. Oh my god. Yes. I'm so excited. I spread kind of a vase. Drew goes. Yeah. That's amazing. 10 out of 10. Let me smell. >> Can you smell me yet? >> Mhm. >> That smell good. I love it. >> What do you give it out of 10? >> 10. >> Beautiful. Then of course we got Paris. I'm so excited. This one was $11.99. I think I said the price is already. And yeah, this is just baby one, which is perfect. I don't want like a really big one. I'm so happy. Oh my god. Oops. I just sprayed a lot. >> Okay. I love it. >> You do? >> Yes. >> Those are definitely better than the other ones you've got. >> These are better. >> Yeah, they're like going in. [music] >> Literally lying. >> Good morning, everybody. It is now Saturday morning. It is 8:02 a.m. We're going to head to my mom's side of town and see my mom this morning, spend a little bit of time with her, maybe do a little thrifting, little shopping. We'll see what we do. This is my outfit for the day. I am feeling very Cinderella for some reason. I don't know. That's what this bandana is giving, but I love it. This bandana is thrifted. I found it at a flea market. I actually vlogged it. Then this tank top, I think, is from Old Navy. These jeans are or these shorts are Levis's. And then my accessories are like all from Amazon. Let's go have a fun Saturday [music] morning. >> I'm going to get this and [music] get this. >> Cheers. >> Cheers by the garbage can. We decided to stop into World Market. God help us. We're going insane. >> This is all from myself, Drew, our niece, and my mom. So, this is four people's stuff, but we're going insane. It is much later now. We're home. We've been watching Camp Rock as we do. I thought I would show you a little haul of what we got at World Market. My mom took her stuff. We had the just the best day out with my mom. It was so nice. She already got her stuff. So, this is the stuff that Drew and I ended up getting. And it's it's a lot, but we're just really feeling snacky, you know, and I mean, these will last us a long time. Anyways, we already broke into these, but these turtle chips, I believe these are are these Korean? Yes, I think they are. These are called turtle chips. And these are the most phenomenal chips. They have like folded really soft but crispy texture and it's a sweet corn flavor. We've loved these for years. The two of us already had some of those. Then we got another longtime favorite. These are called Every Burger. We always get these. We used to get them when we'd go to Little Tokyo all the time. And these are like a little chocolate cookie burger thing. It's so good. Look at it. It just looks like a little hamburger. And yeah, these are a Japanese candy and they're delicious. Then we decided to get some strawberry cream Oreos to try. These are like the thin ones, but these look amazing. Strawberry Oreos. Like, yes, please. I may have tried that before. I'm not sure. And then we just got a few of our British favorites. So, we got some more chocolate digestives. These are the milk chocolate. Drew got some Jaffa cakes. I'm admittedly not much of a chocolate orange person. It's just not my favorite, but like I'm I'm trying. I'm warming up to it. And then because if you guys watched the video where my friend Jasmine sent me a box of a bunch of British sweets and treats and crisps and snacks and everything, um Drew became obsessed with these club bars. Is that what they're called? A club bar. Anyways, he really liked the mint. And then we also saw they had a salted caramel. Not as into that, but they also had an orange flavor. And Drew lit up in the store when he saw those. He was so excited. And then he got his favorite chocolate bar, which is the Cadbury Double Decker. Loves that. Most of this is Drews, actually, now that I'm thinking about it. And then we got some more Jammy Dodgers. We tried recently that apple and black currant flavor. Those were really good. The raspberry is kind of the best, but we also saw that they have cherry. So, we got so excited. You guys, whenever Drew and I do go back to the UK next, it's going to be just like half of our time is going to be spent in the grocery store just buying as many snacks and treats as we can try because it's just one of our favorite things in the entire world. That's like our first trip to Japan pretty much. That's like what we would do every day. We'd go to 7-Eleven. We'd buy as many little snacks and ice creams and treats and things as we could find and we'd eat them. And we did that almost every day when we were in the UK last time. So yeah, that is our World Market haul. Now it's time to start camp rock 2. It's much later now. I have napped. I am having a little bit of a solo night in. Hung out with some friends. I just wanted to chill. One thing about me is when I'm left to my own devices, I will be making butter noodles for dinner. It's like just what I have always done, you know. Oh, don't look at my hair. I uh took a nap on the couch and yeah, like I don't know. Sometimes when you're in a relationship with a man and that man isn't home, it's like I don't want protein for dinner. I don't want meat. You know what I mean? I just want butter noodles. And that is what I'm doing. So, this is my girl dinner for the evening. And it is butter noodles. I'm just like doing a little bit of laundry, catching up on some laundry, like bedding and stuff like that. And then I want to really I keep saying this in like all my vlogs. I want to really get a good dent into my book again tonight. I'd really love to finish my book tonight. Ideally, that'd be wonderful. Um, and I forgot to bring my hardcover book that I just bought when I was in San Diego. So, I'll have to start something else on my Kindle or maybe listen to my audio book after that or something. But I've been scrolling for a little bit and I just need to like read or do something else. So, I'm going to have my dinner. I'm going to watch maybe a show. I'm going to read. Maybe I'll take a bath. I don't know. I It's like a little hot outside today for a bath. I'm not sure. But, it's just going to be the ultimate cozy chill night in. It's me and my butter noodles against the world. Oh my goodness, am I tired. Wow. It is 9:45. I'm about to get ready for bed. And I think I'm going to do a little pampering, a little self-care pampering cuz why not? So, I think do I still have this? I'm going to do a little scalp treatment. I'm going to use a bit of the Ordinary glycolic acid cuz it's really good for your scalp. And then I'm going to use a little bit of this ceremonia heritage scalp remedy oil and just kind of mix that in and like wear my hair in like a low pony or something like that for bed tonight to just give it Yeah. just a little bit of hydration. Something that I've noticed a lot of other people with low feritin talking about is like hair loss, itchy scalp, things like that. So, I'm going to do my best to like prioritize scalp care a little bit more. I want to go to one of those head spas so badly, but I do currently still have Ktip extensions and I think it's preferred that you don't have them. them and like yeah, I don't want them to get like tugged on or anything like that. It's kind of hard to like really get your fingers in there when you have extensions. The girls who get it get it, but I don't think I will continue with my extensions after this. Like they're nice and they're fun, but I don't I don't really need them. I never did, but my hair honestly looks a lot better. It's just fine. And I'm in this sort of awkward grow out phase where it's not a bob anymore, but it's not long either. It's just kind of in between. Okay, now I'm going to do some of this scalp oil. This stuff smells unbelievable. I don't want to put it too close to my extensions though because they are keratin. So, we'll just do a little bit mostly at like the crown of my head. There we go. Looking a little crazy. I'm going to take off my makeup, wash my face. I forgot my face tanner this time around. So, I have a bit of a mismatch going on between face and body, but I ordered some more. So, that should be delivered I think tomorrow. Actually, a few days ago, I think it was like 4 days ago, I got my Botox touched up just for transparency's sake. I get Botox I would say at this point like twice a year. I think the last time I went was in March, the galette that I see here. So yeah, I would say on average 6 months and it's just something that I get in between my eyebrows, a little bit on my forehead, and I think she did a couple like right here as well. It's just sort of a personal choice. I also sometimes go long periods without it as well. It's just sort of like something that I enjoy from time to time. Um, and so I can't rub my forehead like too crazy. I think even though it's been a few days, I can feel it like setting in now. Although my eyebrows are a little uneven, but that happened last time and then they straightened out. I'm keeping it really simple lately with Vanic Cream moisturizer and Vanic Cream face wash. And that's it because I do have rosacea and my rosacea is kind of flaring up which is really annoying. Just some banana cream moisturizer. And that's it. I find that my skin works best with very simple, gentle products. And now I'm going to crawl into bed, read some more of my book, and I will check in with you tomorrow. [music] >> [music] [music] >> Good morning everybody. Happy Sunday. It is like just before 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning. And I have decided this morning that I'm going to go thrifting. I'm going to film a thrifting video. I have been so inspired by people that I've seen on Instagram reels, on Tik Tok. I've seen stuff on Pinterest, and I am just really in the fall fashion mood. Even though it is 100° today here, we're not going to talk about that. I just really want to find some cute fall stuff. So, I'm going to head to the thrift store. And actually, Drew woke up with a sore throat this morning, which is so annoying. Um, and so that means that my time is probably coming in the next few days. So, I'm just trying to get ahead on work while I can. So, while I normally probably wouldn't work on a Sunday, I'm just doing it to like save myself potentially from being behind this week. So, that's what we're going to do. I also want to run to Trader Joe's and grab some just like weekly groceries, little bits that we're like missing that we don't already have, and maybe get like some sicky things for Drew, like some soup, some crackers, and then ultimately probably for myself. It's just one of those things. Our time is coming. It was weird though cuz I got sick like I don't know, July, beginning of July, I think. And Drew never got sick. So, I'm like keeping my fingers crossed that I can somehow avoid this one. But, I don't know. We'll see. So, let's spend a lovely little Sunday morning going thrifting. What could be better? [music] All right, it's many hours later. It's like honestly 3 hours later. I'm done thrifting. I just drove all the way out to a Trader Joe's at just before 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday. I don't know what I was thinking on a holiday weekend as well. So, that was my bad. I think I've made a crucial mistake, but we're going to grab as much as we can and then we will definitely be in for the rest of the day. All >> [music] >> right, we made it out alive barely. No, it was just a little chaotic, but not too bad. Um, so here is my Trader Joe's haul. I got a few different things for flowers. These two are for Drew's mom, and then these are for us, everyone's house. Then we got the what's this called? Pizza parlano. It's just like a supreme pizza. It's like a thin crust pizza that's good to have. So just like you never know when you're going to need it. Some broccoli. Some crackers to have with the soup. I got a couple different kinds of soup. This pasta sauce we had last time and it was really good. It's the caro sugo datino cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic pasta sauce. So if you see it in this jar, it's actually quite good. Next, we got some teriyak turkey jerky to snack on. We got some rigetoni to have some pasta cuz they were out of spaghetti noodles. I got my favorite autumn grapes, obviously. Autumn crisp. And if you see these at your grocery store, get them immediately. They're the best grapes you'll ever have. We got some bananas. Couple different meats. The pineapple teriyak chicken meatballs are really good. You just like put these in a pan with like some rice, some broccoli on the side, and then you toss these in the soyaki. That's delicious. I got some chicken tenders and two things of ground turkey. Then for the final one, I got some of this kettle cooked chicken soup. It just says it's made in small batches with chicken raised with no antibiotics, etc., etc. It's just like chicken soup, basically. I don't even know if there's noodles in there. I got some of these egg bites. These are the unexpected cheddar and turkey sausage egg bites. So, I thought I would try those. I'm kind of iffy about eggs sometimes. The pumpkin butternut squash bis is back. So excited about that. We got some vegetable fried rice. That's nice to have on the side with where are they? The chicken pot stickers if you're just feeling lazy for like a weekn night dinner and then you just do like a little veg on the side. Really good. Got some zucchini squash cuz we put this in our pasta sauce. Got my golden kiwis, [clears throat] my golden kiwis that I have every day. Another thing of frozen mashed potatoes, some frozen hash browns that are great in the air fryer. They taste like McDonald's. And then the Dutch griddle cakes for good. And that's pretty much it. So, let's put this stuff away. [music] >> [music] >> Look at her. She's gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. I love it so much. On the [music] table she goes for the week. All right, just sat down and finished filming the haul of everything I got today after I had some lunch. It's 2:30 now, so I think I'm going to start this laundry. Once the laundry is done, I will try everything on and like do the little try on bits. And that's pretty much it. That is going to do it for me today. I think I'm going to probably take a bath, read my book, relax, kind of a continuation of last night, but like just yeah, a true Sunday. We'll probably change our sheets, you know, all the good stuff. So, I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. Thank you so much for hanging out with me over the last few days and I will see you guys very soon in my next vlog. Bye. [music]
