00:00 Hey guys, it's Kristen Harper. I am so excited because I'm going to bring you guys along as I
00:04 travel to Dominica for the first SI shoot of 2023 and I'm going to bring you guys with me.
00:09 Sorry, Quincy, you have to stay here, but you guys get to come with me. So I'm going to start
00:14 packing. I'm going to bring you guys along. I better get to work because I leave tomorrow at
00:18 five in the morning. All right, guys, we are in the thick of packing. I don't have to bring that
00:31 much stuff. Is this going to freak some people out how these just dirty shoes are in there? I
00:35 wish I had a shoe bag or something, but that's okay. I got my pajamas, got some workout stuff.
00:42 I love this Beyond Yoga. It's so soft. And then basically all of these are just like coverups
00:47 and stuff to wear to explore. Got some denim shorts, of course. And then I actually am sneaking
00:55 in this bag of bikinis. They're all samples. I'm going to show you guys. So I'm actually going to
01:01 sneak in some bikinis. These are all the samples from a line that me and my best friend, Elizabeth
01:08 Turner, were designing for B-Swim. I'm going to give you guys a sneak peek. So this is one of my
01:14 favorite patterns. And we did these gold details, very adjustable. It's cute. It's brown. It's
01:20 neutral. And then where's the top for that? Here's the top. It's like a multi-way top. So you could
01:27 wear a bunch of different ways. We love her. And then I'm going to show you one more because I
01:32 really feel like this is like the suit I would wear if I was in Dominica, which is where I'm
01:37 heading. So this is the top. It's called Sunseeker because we are always looking for a sunny day.
01:46 It's a fun little front tie top. Here's the bottoms. The print is so cute. And then the best
01:52 part is we designed mesh sets to go with everything. So this is a little skirt. So then you can wear
02:00 it like if you go into a beach club, you can kind of pull it up and wear it as a tube dress. Like
02:05 you can do so much stuff with this and it's so fun. And I'm so just excited that I'm sneaking
02:11 these and bringing these to Dominica because it just feels so crazy to work on something for so
02:16 long. I mean, me and Elizabeth worked on this probably since last March and just finally seeing
02:22 the samples in person and after so much trial and error, it's just like so amazing. So I can't wait
02:28 to bring these and hopefully jump in the water with them. All right. The worst part is over.
02:34 Packing is done. I think I have everything. Like there's always something inside of me that feels
02:39 like I'm forgetting something. But I hope because I packed kind of early, if I think of something
02:43 tonight, I can just throw it in there. But I think I have everything. I even packed my little tote bag
02:48 that has all my snacks and everything a girl could need. Bug spray, Benadryl, anything you
02:55 could need if you travel. I have it with me. So I think I have it all. And now we just try to somehow
03:01 relax tonight because I don't like I genuinely don't know how I'm going to sleep. I'm so excited.
03:06 I wish I could just leave right this second, but I get picked up at three in the morning.
03:11 So I am going to somehow trick myself into falling asleep tonight. And yeah. And then I'll see you
03:18 guys in the morning and I will bring you along for the rest of the journey to Dominica. Bye guys.
03:46 I look crazy. Made it to the airport. Time to go.
03:51 Okay, I finally feel like I'm alive enough to speak words. I just got some snacks. I got some
04:00 hummus and pretzels and my favorite pickles in the world. I literally got three bags because
04:10 they are rare. The hottie bites from Oh snap. My mouth is watering. It's three in the morning and
04:16 I'm going to probably eat these right now. So is that disgusting or cute? I don't know. Okay,
04:23 I'm going to chill here until my flight boards in like an hour. I have lots of time. So I'm
04:30 going to wander around. See you on the plane.
04:35 If you want to Dominica, at door number 11, you can check your bag at the gate please.
05:00 Again, ladies and gentlemen, for landing in Dominica.
05:30 I made it. Look at this beautiful room. It is stunning. And this beautiful little fruit basket
05:39 and this view. Oh my gosh, you guys I want to go out there. So beautiful.
