My trip has been stellar so far, and I have never done a blog post about traveling, but I feel like now is for the best. I am in a Starbucks with solid internet and coffee, the band doesn't play until 4:45 PM today and there is an interview on the bus with the E! network so I had to head out on my own for a bit. This seems like the best time to document my trip so far.
Last Thursday I left Sarasota airport bright and early headed for Las Vegas. Little did I know that the biggest music festival in the US was also going on in Vegas this particular weekend, Electric Daisy Carnival. I met some interesting people on my way who obviously were huge fans of music, just not quite the We the Kings kind. Still fun though. I also took the most epic airport selfie.
Gotta love that vlog stick :) In Vegas we went gambling (a little), bought Danny his first suit, ambushed an Urban Outfitters for new rompers and ate at the lovely Hofbrauhaus. We've now officially eaten in the original in Munich and the extra fun one in Vegas. Both were delightful.
The next day brought us to Pomona, CA where I went for a run through the hills and begged people to bring me Starbucks. Followed by a stop in San Fran where I visited with family and enjoyed the beautiful weather. We also found a fan's wallet and turned it in to the venue where she picked it up yesterday fully in tact! Good wallet karma for Danny :)
Then we were in Ventura followed by 2 days off in Los Angeles. We did a podcast for The Danny Duncan Show and visited with our good friend Jake from Mayday Parade, and his girlfriend, Jes. They're amazing.
Overall, tour life has been pretty fantastic. Lots of hanging with my boyfriend, shopping and even great luck finding frequent showers. I am starting to get a little homesick for my pup and bed though. We still have Vidcon ahead of us, as well as, three more shows before I skip town :)
I think my Warped Tour Do's and Don'ts still ring true from the original video I made>

But I do think there are a couple of things I could add:
#1 Deodorant: It's pretty obvious, but I just forgot to say it.
#2 Wet Wipes: Whether it's to wash your hands before lunch, clean a spill off of you, or when the Port-a-Potty is out of teepee, they definitely come in handy.
#3 Towel: If you're actually touring DO NOT forget a towel to shower with. I totally did and felt so silly the first time I showered and had to air dry.
Well everyone, I will catch up with you again soon.
Much Love,
Lindsey <3
Love that you have a blog too! I am a big fan of the Vlogs, and of your YT channel and when I heard you mention your blog I was excited to find it hehe. I am a beauty blogger, and makeup artist and love to share my journey through blog and YT as well! Wish I could make it to a warped tour, maybe next year! Great tips for sure.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see a post on here about your getting ready video, so I am commenting here. I am just wondering how often you use your clarisonic mia? I just bought a mia 2 today, but the lady at sephora told me she only uses her 4 times a week, but it can be used up to twice a day. I am acne prone and have oily skin but don't want to damage or make my break outs worse. Just asking some advice for someone who swears by it! Thanks xox
ReplyDeleteI use mine twice a day religiously and it has done wonders for my oily, prone to breakout skin. I do use a very mild cleanser though. With that being said, everyone's skin is different, but I would suggest trying it twice a day and seeing how it works for you. I think it will be positive. I have only met one person who had issues with the clarisonic and she had deep cystic acne. If you have this kind I would suggest trying it only at night or only on days you sweat heavily or wear a lot of makeup to start and if it works for you adding in more days as you feel. I remember being really worried about this also, but have never had a problem of overdoing it yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your advice! You are so sweet for typing such a long reply, I really appreciate it! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Linds, loving your blog! Been thinking about you since going to Shore last night (finally)! I just went to Ulta today to buy all new makeup and look for hair stuff. Since having Oliver, I barely have time for all that, and have needed new stuff for over a year now (down to the corners in my falling apart cover girl makeup). This was super helpful. I wore Laura Mercier on my wedding day and loved it. I also use the Olay lotion. My dermatologist recommended it back in high school so I use it daily. Got Clinique's tinted moisturizer for sheer coverage today. Question: Is that something you'd use a brush to apply? Interested in wands, but I'm too cheap to pay for them, so I'm going to give yours a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBritt!!! Glad it's helped, even just for a quick spruce up. I always use a brush because I'm usually driving to work while putting on my makeup :/ Awful, I know, but it keep my fingers from getting dirty and also helps save on using so much product. Since I'm paying for Laura Mercier I want to get some bang for my buck ya know? That wand is probably one of the best things I've ever purchased and it's so easy and quick. I've been showering in the morning, letting my hair dry naturally during the day and putting in a little curl for when we go to dinner or something. So glad you made it shore! I love going there to eat or have drinks. It's such a fun atmosphere!
