Hi. Jocelyn with Wolters World and I am here in the Keukenhof Gardens on a girls trip and
today I thought I would share 5 things that you will love and hate about a girls trip.
So, the first thing that you are going to love about a girls trip is that it's a girls trip.
You don't have to worry about your husband, your kids, your boyfriend, your roommate.
It's just the people you have chosen to be with for a week or for however long you are going.
So the second thing that your going to love about a girls trip is that there's no dishes
there's no laundry, there's no mopping, there's no vacuuming, unless you choose to rent an apartment
and do those things - I mean, I make my bed everyday - but I don't have to and it's awesome!
So, the freedom of a girls trip is just wonderful.
So the third thing that you're going to love about a girls trip is that your girlfriends have whatever you need.
If you forget something, you can pretty much guarantee that your girlfriends got that same thing for you.
Your husband, you know he is not going to be able to hand you a tampon when you need one.
Can I say that? Ok. *off camera* Absolutely!
Um, so, the fourth thing that you are going to love about a girls trip, and maybe I love this more than any other one,
is that I am not rushed. Women have a different process with time, I feel like. And, um, you know.
Mark is just "go, go, go". We are constantly, you know. And my girlfriends, we're just taking it easy
You never have to, you never have to speed up, and nobody is at the door
stomping waiting to go. It's really, it's really awesome. I love this.
So, the fifth thing you will love about a girls trip
is the shopping. You can meander at your leisure, and kind of go and come as you want
And if you need to know if your butt looks big, you got a girl to give you an honest opinion.
Whereas your husband is just going to go, "hmmm, You always look good to me, honey." At least that's
what Mark says.
Anyway's, so those are your 5 loves of a girls trip. And stay tuned for the 5 hates. We're going to find another
really beautiful setting to do those.
Hey, Jocelyn with Wolters World and we are here today at the Eiffel Tower.
And we are on the last leg of our girls trip, and so I wanted to do the 5 things that you'll
hate about a girls trip.
Not that there's that much to hate. But hate number 1 is missing my family.
Um, I miss Mark something fierce, and the kids - Oh my gosh - you know, like they're doing all this stuff at home
and I am not a part of it and it kind of stinks. But then I also got to just go to the Louvre and enjoy all of that without
having anyone going, "but mama, mama". Ok, so, maybe that's a least, sometimes hate, but
I do miss my family. So that's hate number 1.
Hate number 2 is that there's no one next to you, no man
with you to take care of your bags. Um,
yeah, I can do them myself, but it's just a whole lot easier to just hand 'em off to Mark
and let him throw my bag up, um, you know, in the airplane, or on the train, or whatever.
So, no man to handle your baggage is definitely hate number 2.
Hate number 3 are the money issues.
Money sort of clouds things, you know. It's like, "I paid for this hotel, and you paid for that hotel,
and this taxi ride, and this dinner, and..." You know, just trying
to divid that stuff up sometimes adds a little bit of, ummm, tension to things
so, you know, try to decide who is paying for what ahead of time, and how you're going to
split things. Take pictures of your receipts and things like that to, kind of, ease that tension,
but, you know, gosh
Money sucks! It always makes just a mess of things.
Anywho, that's hate number 3. Money Issues
So, hate number 4 is in-fighting.
We women, although we are wonderful, and powerful, and amazing, do tend
to put each other down every now-and-then, or cross our lines, or not communicate well with
one another, and it can cause problems. It hasn't happened on this trip
So, some of those things that can cause the in-fighting are often money things, you know,
splitting bills, and things like that, as I talked about before, um, but also sometimes it's things like
four people wanna go do this and two people wanna go do that, and, you know, sometimes feelings
get hurt and whatnot, and those conversations, so you have to be open about that and it's especially important
to say that ahead of time so that everyone is kind of on the same page and everyone knows where everyone stands
You know, some of those ground rules really help to fix that in-fighting problem.
As you can see, we are no longer in Paris. We had a "weee" little issue with filming
so you get me, um, a little bit later in not so glamorous Illinois.
Ok, so, my fifth hate is that there are never enough bathrooms. I don't care if you rent an apartment
or a house, or whatever, unless everyone has their own bathroom
you don't have enough bathrooms.
We stayed in one apartment in Amsterdam. Ummm, 3 women and 1 bathroom.
One tiny water-closet, that's just a toilet and a "weee" little sink.
And then the shower, the sink, and the bathtub were in a separate room. Which kind of helped
because it was sort of, you know, people could get in a move around a little bit, but
um, it was much better when we stayed in Paris and we had an apartment with 2 full bathrooms
this place is a miracle find. Yes, and no I won't tell you where it is because I need to have it
booked for me.
So, those are our five love and hates of girls trips. There's probably a thousand more that I haven't
thought of or that I have thought of and they just would have gone on too long.
So, why don't you guys comment down below about what you love and what you hate about taking a girls trip.
Bye, from not-so-Paris.
Shop at your leisure, and if you say, "Does my butt look big?"
Oh no, you can't do that. Oh no, we have to do it all over.
Stay there.
I just wanna make
*coughing*
I just want to make an apology video
all of these incredible tulips and this beautiful bike ride have been
totally spoiled by an awful cough
and I am pretty sure I have bronchitis and so,
all the cough medicines are kind of messing me up, so
if these videos all suck, I am just apologizing
in advanced. And Mark,
*blows a raspberry*
