CHATTY GRWM: LIFE UPDATES, POST VACAY THOUGHTS, RE-TESTING NEW MAKEUP

[@Cosmic_Stardust]

I have panic attacks, and I've fainted before, and it can be terrifying. Breathe evenly through your nose to take in more oxygen (never the mouth), alert someone you know (you did, that's good), and ground yourself; focus on something visual or something auditory that's fluctuating- keep yourself in the present- pinching yourself and moving limbs to keep circulation going. The trigger was probably dehydration, as you said, and stress can bring about these freaky panic attacks. Just keep telling yourself that panic attacks do pass. A random surge of adrenaline triggered by the body due to dehydration, and it will pass. But of course, get water which you were trying to get. You did handle it very well! I hope you recover from your cold and get back to good health!😊

[@suzannepoirier7364]

I went to Italy in the summer about 40 years ago and felt like I was going to pass out in a restaurant. The server recognized my problem right away and had me drink water with a lot of salt in it - the original sports drink!

[@MA1.5]

When I am in heat for too long, I get nauseous, shakey and feel like I’m going to pass out. I’ve since found out that I have ms and it’s just the stress to my nervous system, but I understand how you feel.

[@hannitabeautysison]

When my brother went to the Philippines it was so hot that he literally had a panic attack! It’s not a joke, their weather is too hot! So i understand how you were feeling 😢

[@jenniferhenderson8957]

Awwe Morgan! I have fainted before and I think it was more scary for the people around me. But I had to chuckle at your story because you say you aren’t a planner, but the way you were trying to plan where to pass out made me laugh. 😁

[@laurenm173]

Welcome back! We are glad you had a fun trip 😊

[@tonyamedeiros2034]

What a wonderful and memorable experience for you all!! Thanks for sharing with us!!!

[@michelleliucee]

I haven’t been to Singapore in about 21 years. I only lived there for the first 5 years of my life, so I can only imagine how different things were for your mom! That’s one place I want to hopefully go to within the next few years.

[@swang4331]

awww I love hearing you talk so excitedly about your heritage!

[@makeupbycait]

Would love to see a haul of all the goodies you bought on your trip! I’m visiting Japan in a couple months and need to know what to buy! Fude brushes and SPF are at the top of my list!

[@charitypatton8330]

I experienced a similar situation when we visited Italy last July. It was 106° the day we toured the Colosseum and the Ruins. When we made it to the top I felt like I was going to pass out, I was literally crying but there were NO tears. My whole family was stressing once they realized how bad I was feeling. It was so scary to be in a foreign country and not know what was happening and the only option to get out was to walk forever down to the street. If you plan to ever visit, avoid the summertime. They also do not believe in AC.

[@Pookie.Bear_Hehe]

I love the chatty grwm! I love when you talk abt other things than just makeup and skincare!💕(first btw)

[@jessabeauty917]

You have to utilize the vending machines and convenience stores for drinks. The convenience stores can have small seating areas for drink breaks. It isn’t easy to find a restroom if you’re drinking a lot though. Poor Morgan. I had to learn too.

[@IzzyOPR]

Thanks for sharing your travels! They were so fun to watch. Hope you guys feel better soon! Enjoy your family time and relax, it's the best way to get better.

[@christahodges]

Good afternoon, Morgan! Happy Monday! Love these videos! 😊 Thank you for sharing with us! 🩷

[@annealbaugh919]

Oh I’m glad your starting to feel better and you had a great trip continue to get well 🙏🏼

[@mollyjane01]

Thx for talking about your trip…& the panic attack, tbh. As someone with severe lung disease AND anxiety, panic attacks are no joke! Welcome back home 😊❤

[@donnaeilerman7458]

You sound much better! Loved watching your travel vlogs. Glad you are having fun with all of the parents. 🩷

[@Blue_Ink_Crochet]

The biore is ethanol based which is why it has a quick dry, and no white cast. There is another (not as good as the imported version) that is available on Amazon for 15, but yes it's a different formula- but still better than any American sunscreen I've come across!

[@LotusLady9]

Morgan hope you, Jose & your parents had a great trip!

[@annealbaugh919]

Hi Morgan welcome back, I’m so excited about the new ND need a warm palette 💜💜💜

[@melissalapinski148]

Your trip looked amazing! I am glad you’re feeling better! Enjoy the in-laws

[@Cosmic_Stardust]

Visiting Japan is on my bucket list! I so wanna see the Harajuku district and tour Kyoto during Hanami 🌸

[@Addie_LaRue]

Your trip sounds amazing Japan- it is on our bucket list too! Thanks for the vlogs too, they were great 😊 Also,I have panic attacks occasionally and they are horrible. I'm so glad you had José there to take care of you. Having someone understand what's going on makes a huge difference, imo. I'm so glad you had a great trip!

[@jodieclark4518]

I did enjoy hearing about your trip with your family, Morgan-Sounds like a great experience! Interesting insight into the East of today - 😊

[@sweetcarolineq]

I went to Japan 8 years ago in July/Aug while being 6 months pregnant. Big mistake. As you mentioned the heat multiplied by 1000. I have a tendency to faint too, surprisingly that did not happen on that trip. Also agree that shopping can be overwhelming there when you don’t know what’s good. Tina Tanaka Harris is an Aussie/Japanese KZbinr who I follow to get recommendations. Thanks for sharing about your trip. Singapore is on my list of future travel, good to know it’s pricier than Japan.

[@jeanieturner5183]

I can sympathize with you over the panic attack. You know your Nan I had them for years thankfully I was able to find the cause and it has been a blessing love hearing about your trip and seeing all the beautiful places you went sorry you were sick because I wanted to get to meet Jose‘s family.

[@syadzwanie]

It’s always a good idea to carry a mini backpack or just any bag when you’re travelling in Japan! Japanese people would carry their trash in their backpacks/plastic bags to bring around until they find a trash can to throw it into, or when they get home. Also the bigger bag would allow you to carry water bottles (you can buy them in convenience stores like 7/11, Lawson, FamilyMart). A smaller bag would be limiting because then your hands would be full and it’s difficult to really do anything. The smaller sling bags like the uniqlo moon bags are great for the locals when they’re making short trips, but as a tourist you’re more likely to be out and about for a longer time and it’s best to have water readily available on hand, especially during summer! Also, trash cans are so rare in Japan because of an infamous sarin gas attack where the attackers coordinated and left parcels filled with toxic gas in trash cans or on trains. The government doesn’t want a repeat of this so they prevented the likelihood of lethal/concentrated attacks by spacing out the trash cans or placing them in more strategic places like train stops, bus stops (because the locals would likely throw away any trash before boarding)

[@denise8791]

My bestie went to Japan. She mentioned the garbage can thing and please pardon my ignorance but I didn't realize that was why! I've heard it's otherwise safe and low crime. One of her travel buddies accidentally left his brand new phone on a bench and for 2 days tried to figure out where it was (thought he just misplaced it) until they remembered stopping to figure out directions on a bench. They went back to the bench and it was still there untouched. Pretty impressive lol

[@syadzwanie]

@@denise8791 Yeah! Didn’t mean to scare anyone, I was hoping to enlighten people why there’s barely any trash cans there. Japan has a very low crime rate, the sarin gas attack was an outlier committed by religious cult members of Aum Shinrikyo. Studied in Japan and visited it a couple a times after. I’ve accidentally left my wallet on my bike and came back hours later after a lecture and it wasn’t stolen. I can attest to your bestie, it’s pretty safe!

[@lora17]

Get well soon!!!

[@Xtremeraverbaby87]

That sounds like such a fun time (not the flights and being sick though so sorry you got ill). Ty for sharing your fun trip x

[@Korrina-g3w]

Thanks for sharing your vacation with us, i bet it was so wonderful to share the memories with your mother, your husband, and her friends. I am Native American and would love to visit the reservation where my great grandmother was born. It's on my bucket list, right after retirement, which is a few years away.

[@esbee01]

I went to Japan last year for 2 weeks during the summer as well and the heat was no joke! We were purchasing drinks from the vending machines constantly to stay hydrated. It's a lovely country and I definitely recommend visiting Osaka but I'll only go back in the winter now!

[@bevyoung2009]

Heat was hard when I went with a tour group to China. Beijing and Shanghai. It was the month of May and the government will not let hotels and any business turn on ac until June. 😢

[@annealbaugh919]

It sounds like a beautiful trip 🤗

[@MintyParsley]

Tokyo is amazing, but if possible - never go in June, July or August. It is rainy season, it is hot and humid. At least it is possible in must places to get some water due to all the vending machines. Also, I've gotten way more out of my visits on my re-visits due to overstimulation.

[@KateKinsleyMusic]

You may well have had a panic attack, but you should look into Dysautonomia- Pots or Orthostatic Hypotension. I get similar epsidoes from my Dysautonomia (I have also had panic attacks, so I know what that feels like too) where you don't feel well, especially standing, then your heart races so you sweat like crazy and shake and my heart even goes into PVCs, and then I pass out. What is happening is your BP is dropping, your HR raises to try to compensate and you go down. It is greatly worsened by heat. Hydration is a huge part of it too. Try adding some Liquid IV to your daily routine and chug it when you feel off like that. But, of course, talk to your doctor.

[@zivprof]

Love this, sounds like you had a mostly good time!! Excited to see your new videos but hope you have fun with the in-laws! ❤

[@llaniramirez6108]

Amazon has that Biore sunscreen. Nikki La Rose highly recommends it. She said it has NOT “peeled” under any product she’s used so far. I have ordered it and it comes in packaging written in a different (I’m guessing Asian) language. I ABSOLUTELY love it too!!

[@OliviaCiufalo]

I am a physical education teacher and a makeup artist like you! So cool to hear that fun fact about you! ✨

[@annealbaugh919]

Was a wonderful video nice to see and hear you 💜🌻✌🏻

[@october0blue]

Don't feel bad about talking about the heat. I also have heat sensitivity it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I never would have thought about that with international travel. I'm really glad you talked about the lack of access to ac and water. I'm definitely going to take that into more of a consideration with a trip I'm currently planning! That must have been miserable! Glad you didn't pass out!

[@sandragreenberg6010]

Welcome back pretty lady! You were missed!

[@brittanynawara2975]

I’m so sorry you had a panic attack. I have them and they’re so uncomfortable ❤ I also can’t stand the heat. I’m glad other than that your trip was good!

[@abbyk36]

So excited to hear your review of the new Givenchy reformulation

[@marrissashannon]

Aw, your fainting story is terrible. I have the same issue, my sister does as well. It always seems to happen at the worst time too. I’ve passed out at concerts, Universal Studios, airplanes, right in front of a huge crowd of people getting onto a cruise ship. lol. Sorry that happened to you! It is so scary at the time.

[@Korrina-g3w]

I can't take the heat either, i get sweaty and nauseous , it has gotten worse as i get older, so I'm glad your husband was nearby. Air conditioning is awesome.

[@River_Island_Lover]

Morgan I use that SPF. We have it in the UK and it’s so cheap, like £8.00 and usually on a buy one get one free or half price offer. I agree best SPF ever!!! Xxx

[@angiesanchez238]

Feel better Morgan. I missed you. I recommended you for the Sephora Squad. I hope you get picked. Welcome back!🤗💯✌🏽

[@lisamarie5918]

I enjoyed hearing about your trip, while applying makeup! A restaurant with no bottled water? I can totally understand...I had a panic attack in Italy - it was hot, I wasn't feeling well, my then boyfriend wasn't helpful/comforting at all and the A/C at the hotel wasn't up to my standards. I love that you used two eyeshadow palettes to get your own custom look - that's my favorite to do when applying eyeshadow! You saying "Sephora" when you meant Singapore - I felt that...when you're into makeup, it's such a big part of you...I even Dream about makeup! You saying you're a Vacationer, not a Traveler, makes so much sense! I get overwhelmed and overstimulated (I'm an introvert too) when there's too much moving around, and not enough rest in-between! I like Emily in Paris, I don't think it's a bad show...maybe a bit corny at times, but I love the Paris views, and Emily is adorable.

[@lavayuki]

I love travelling Asia. I used to live in Japan and have been going there every year, as I am bilingual with Japanese and have lots of friends there from having studied there and working in a hospital there. Japan is one of my favourite countries to travel, I always buy a lot of skincare and makeup there too, in addition to clothes and anime merch. I was there last summer and plan on going again next year, I am working my way around the country every time I visit, so next will probably be Hokkaido. Its the only country i use my travel fund on. I love hot weather so I only ever travel to Japan in summer, I never been in any other season but always use a parasol there

[@EMak11]

Random - I use LMNT electrolytes. It has helped tremendously. It has necessary minerals to help with hydration. I have the same issue. Also, a pinch of Redmonds Real Salt on my tongue. Instant relief. That brand has a ton of important minerals along with the salt to help overall. ❤❤❤

[@liisabjork76]

I totally understand your hear issues. I fainted from the heat wnen i was young as well. And me and my twin sister get very ill in the heat. We do come from Finland but i think some people the heat affects them really bad. I totally understand. My sister walks around with a handheld fan in the sumner in her house. Its so funny . But its true the heat can put a huge downside especially if you are may faint. Or get stomach pain amd diarrhea. Not fun.

[@LorraineinPNW]

Loved your vlogs! The heat keeps me from traveling to a lot of places. So, I understand completely! We have three Din Tai Fung locations in the Seattle metro area! I can't believe it! It's on my list now!

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

O wow, that was though in the heat for you than, dear Morgan, i'm happy everything worked out for you, and that you can look back to an amazing trip, i saw the vlogs, it's so beautiful!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Love the makeup look, Morgan!!!! And yes, that's a lot, being ill, after that Jose's family coming, relax! I watch anyway, i just love your Channel!!! I know your mama is from Asia, did not know Singapore, but so good you all went there together!!! Yes, remember the time you combined teaching with KZbin as well! Love this type of video style, so cozy!!! Take rest, enjoy your day Morgan!!!😘😘😘😘

[@tzoe875]

I just watched your travel vlogs. Addiction Tokyo has a US website and maybe a warehouse here. I highly recommend that you check it out. I hope you had fun visiting where your Mom was raised. What an exciting trip!

[@melitzalopez7230]

Natasha i need a warm palette launch on august 22 - will i buy it video?

[@judiwhiteaker5893]

I love the Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence.

[@serena-9482]

I hate heat sooo much! Great video!

[@Neurospicybunny]

I'm 1000% with you about the heat! I've always been just a more hot natured person but my sensory sensitivies from neurodivergence along with medications I take make me so intolerant to heat... I just get unreasonably angry and extremely physically uncomfortable. I live in Alabama unfortunately so I don't go outdoors at all in the summer😄 But yeah if you take any medications there are supposedly a good bit that are commonly prescribed that make people more sensitive to heat!

[@Babymuexlue2]

My Adderall makes me so sensitive to the heat. If I get too hot I get super nauseous and sweaty. It's miserable feeling. Soo I know what you mean girl.

[@kellykautzman7467]

I loved this chatty GRWM! I'm a grandma snacker too 😅.

[@vanessalindeken9307]

Girl I feel your pain in regards to the heat. I'm exactly the same way. Heat is like poison to me and I live in Nor Cal!!!

[@paillette2010]

I lived in Japan for 5 years. I can’t imagine going to Disneyland while there. Truly so much to see and do.

[@funnymushroom123]

Hey Morgan! Glad you enjoyed your vacation here in Singapore 💕 They changed the train station signs recently - specifically those in town - and even as a Singaporean I still get lost due to those unintuitive signs😅

[@ebbielowe13]

I know this is hard in a foreign country, but trying to always keep some sort of electrolyte beverage (Body Armor, Gatorade, Liquid IV) is extremely important. I get panic attacks a lot, and you did exactly the right thing.

[@eimearinez]

I don’t suffer from panic attacks but like you I’m not great in strong heat n more I don’t like small spaces when in Prague we were going up a castle tower stairs case and people were coming towards me I got really over whelmed n had to stop try find some air from turret window n calm myself it was horrible I was fine once I got to the top n was in open space n going down it was just us going down n there was more air so I totally understood that feeling! I feel so sorry for people with anxiety as I’d hate to feel like that regularly

[@kimberlysedano2908]

Please use the rare beauty as a finishing powder so you can give us your thoughts!! ❤

[@heatherbakken1936]

Amazon carries that Biore sunscreen. I heard about it from Nikki La Rose, bought it, and love it myself. It's fantastic.

[@Sanismom]

the trip was fu n you should go on more trips like this like other countries in the us😍

[@classiclymodern]

Yep, I was like… pretty sure she had a panic attack.. I get them frequently unfortunately, but I’m so so so glad you were Ok and Jose was awesome (after the matcha pic lol)

[@Sunchild_26]

Im such an anime fan too!!! I hope to go to Japan someday too! ❤

[@roiffe1270]

I’m a big fan of Japanese culture and anime, i hope one day i can go. What really shocked me is singapore… i was like WHAT.. its very futuristic, i would love to go one day. Awesome vlogs ❤

[@kittencakes9836]

I wish you’d try the L’Oréal highlighter in the color you show on screen it’s so much better than icy gold (IMO) I think it’s called champagne glow 15.

[@polakeys]

I also went to Japan and Singapore for the first time May and June. It was so hot, but I used a UV umbrella and got lots of water from 7eleven and other combinis. Everything was very overwhelming but I made great memories and I shopped a lot jbeauty.

[@lubazak636]

I also cannot handle heat. I also have kidney disease, so I CANNOT get dehydrated. Sounds like the beginnings of heat stroke to me, not necessarily panic attack. I am a retired nurse. Please read up on heat exhaustion. I won’t travel in summer except for going north, Cherry blossom season is in the spring and not as hot. The cherry trees are stunning and when the blossoms start to fall, it’s raining pink petals. I got sick in Japan as well. In crowded areas it may be a good idea to wear masks. Hand sanitizer is a must. When you use an escalator and hold on, you must keep in mind that hundreds of people have touched that.

[@sdmajesty]

thoughts on the Ilia foundation stick?

[@leslievestal6436]

Biore is one of my fave SPFs. I get it on Amazon.

[@lorenacalzada2325]

Hi beautiful lady Morgan, I’m so happy to see you back, I enjoy watching your vlogs in Japan and Singapore, nice places specially the food. I see you frequently using your it cosmetic brush, I’m thinking to buy one, I have the bk beauty and Nicki la rose collection , those are also great brushes. Know let’s keep watching. Have a wonderful day beautiful Lady, love you 🥰✨🌺 God bless you

[@annysa3662]

Watching you while getting ready to see the supertrees light show on top of the Marina sands. Life is good in Singapore…😊

[@mary-zv6cu]

I'd love to go to Singapore - it's just not easy to get there for me either 😅 Glad you're on the mend, and had an overall great time on your travels!!

please a review of colourpop liquid blush and comparison of these with rare beauty and elf liquid blushes :((

[@CCKittyKat931]

Wow such a great trip❤

[@kristenreehil3196]

I have family in Japan from my grandpa's side who lives there. When it's too hot out, I freak out and panic lately. I feel like my heart always races and like I'm about to pass out from it. I went to Punta Cana in May and I would say never go there and I won't go back. The food was awful. The weather was hot but what was cool about the resort was that there was a swim up bar and it was hot when I went. Japan I wouldn't go to

[@Jessica-ov4dj]

Natasha Denona's latest palette (I Need A Warm) was officially announced, releases 8/22. Looking forward to a review!

[@kristinesanta6971]

That's my birthday!🎉

[@aliciamichelle955]

That sounds like a nightmare to me! I really struggle to handle heat and not having a spot to rest or cool down would have me panicking. If you arent accustomed to that it would be so overwhelming. Especially not able to communicate

[@annealbaugh919]

Oh wow that’s scary I’m so sorry I know people that happens to not fun so glad your husband was with you 👍

[@roooosieful]

would not recommend japan to anyone between jul - sept, but if you have to try to avoid tokyo. There's nature-y areas away from the city that felt a bit better to me in summer (though your comments about AC are very true). But anyway if you're in the cities, make use of convenience stores and vending machines which should be plentiful, and feel free to drink liquids in public. I usually have a larger bag when traveling around Japan so I can hold onto bottles -- the reason why there aren't trash cans has to do with gas attacks way back in the day, so people generally hold onto trash. Japanese also tend to have cooing packs on their bodies, among other things to deal with the heat, but I still think it's wild. My cousin ended up moving way north because he hated the heat, so it's not just you! edit: also! I've never had Singapore's Din Tai Fung, but I heard it's better than California''s. It's busy here too but to be honest I've had a lot of dumplings around California that I think are just as good.

[@tammystewart7059]

[@Elizabeth-c2y-u2x]

I love these videos!!❤

[@MaryMacGregor-xq8xl]

Wow Morgan ! Happy to have you back but it seems like you had the vacation of a lifetime and I’m so happy for you all! I really enjoyed hearing all about it too, nice to see I different side of you! Your makeup turned out cute too! Be hard to mess it up when you have such a beautiful face and I didn’t know you had freckles till seeing this video today too! Very cute I might add lol!!!! What’s new out there in the makeup world? Well I just looked on Natasha Denonas website annnnndd, a thing popped up about a new eyeshadow palette “I NEED A WARM ….” Hmm? I was very surprised because I hadn’t heard anything about it until then, usually all her new palettes are leaked long before she says anything about it herself. I was signed into my account when I was shopping her site, so I think it only will pop up if your on her rewards program, it must be part of the program that she tells the people who buy the most stuff first! It kinda looked a bit like the new nude palette but with some darker brown mattes and I seen a multi chrome on it too! I think that now in the last year or so she has come out with some thing for everyone except missing the warm tones and now she has done it! I really hope that some people will finally stop complaining because she’s got every all the bases covered! Maybe if you sign in to your account on her website you can take a look yourself and see it ! I’m not so much into warm tones but it’s more neutral leaning on the warm and rich side! Now i think if i was a makeup artist, if i had everyone of her eyeshadow palettes now I’d probably be set to do any look that my brain could come up with lol!! Now that I think she’s about done it all, I’d love to see her do something with like an empty palette where you can easily take out your favourite eyeshadow then create your own palettes! Or something like a sorting system for the different colour’s since she has so many different formulas as well. But I really do think that by realesaing the warm toned palette it’s time for people to stop complaining about there not something for ever Because what more can this woman do to make every eyeshadow colour there is! I am proud of her too! I think I’m just going to bite the bullet and finally finish buying the rest of pallets and have the whole library lol! I can’t wait to see you playing with it ! Keep up the amazing work you do to guide us through makeup land!! Take care, XOMB

[@JR-md9rz]

Carry electrolyte packets. It can be added to any liquid in a pinch. I spent a lot of time in the sun (heat) of Florida (native). Saw friends, leaving in an ambulance. I would throw up from too much heat. But I learned how to cope because it was my job. I was a paint specialist, staining and painting, design, etc. in Palm Beach for many years. I know you understand the heat in So Florida lol. You have to stay with the job in Palm Beach, expectations are high. No getting sick. Salt tabs help also. But eltrolytes are a must. A little snack like peanut butter crackers help too. Just a -small- snack, then stay still and totally relax for like 10-15 minutes. You will be ready to rock again🎉So happy you loved your vacation 🎉a trip of a lifetime. ❤

[@JR-md9rz]

I forget room temp beverages. A little suga doesn't hurt ethier.

If you really want to have the authentic Ding Tai Feng experience, come to Taiwan where it’s originated 🥟 but perhaps not in summer 😎

[@rowanbeautifuldisaster]

There is a din tai fung in NY, I believe in the city. Never been to it myself.
