Funny personal story about 1,000 steps from nearly 30 years ago. Went with friends and my golden retriever (and his tennis ball, of course). Time comes to leave and battle the stairs. Dog drops ball halfway up and it bounces to the bottom. He runs down to get it and runs back up...a little slower. Got about 5 steps from top and he drops it again. He watched it bounce all the way down, looked at me, looked down the steps and back at me with a look that said "screw it" and he continued upward. He was so upset. That's when I learned to always keep a spare ball with me (and it came in handy after he dropped one out the car window one day). Anyone with a golden knows the struggle.
I love how I found you and Alexa’s channels independently, it made me so happy to find out you two are besties 🥹❤️ also this video was my sign, I need a girls trip with my besties!
As a Canadian Laguna fan I LIVVVE for this trip each year. Please keep visiting so we can all vicariously live the Laguna fantasy with you!! I also was obsessed as a teen with all of this.
As a fellow renter you can buy command hooks that can hold different weights! They have even been rolling out new products where you can hang pictures with complicated backs where the command hook mimics a nail on the front end but is still the same damage free wall sticker on the back!
Love You two!❤ I remember when Carrie said something in QA like the thrift Queens are not in the friendship place anymore and I was like so sad! 😞 But it turns out that Alexa is still in the picture ❤
Stephen and Kristin just started a podcast rewatching the old episodes! It’s called Back to the Beach! Also Audrina, Heidi, Spencer, and Audrina have had individual interviews on the Call Her Daddy pod! Also Audrina just dropped a new book! Okay, I’m slightly obsessed too! ❤️❤️
Everlane was doing something similar in terms of selling a tee shirt where the proceeds went towards women’s right. It was a white tee that said 💯% my body. I bought it and I love it! Love your vlogs!💕
I grew up in Laguna and I love that you showed my middle and high school! It is pretty special to live there, let me know if you want any locals recommendations Carrie!
So I have a moon wall chain hanging thing that a family member got me when she used to work at UO. I think something like that, skinny and long, could work well above the door frame so it takes up that blank white space above the door.
Oh man, pretty sure you both were 10 minutes from my house at the savers & plant power. I would love to run into both of you some day! You two are honestly two of my favorite influencers. I’ve never explored Laguna, ya’ll look like you have so much fun every time! 🖤🖤
Tbh, I do not like command strips. They don't stick to cheap paint that landlords use & half the time the strip gets stuck on the wall or takes the paint off anyways. Just let me use a nail!!! Rant aside, I love the gallery wall!
I live in NYC now but I'm from CA and still visit once a year. Your video made me miss it! Can you share the name of the hotel you stayed in? It looks so nice and relaxing
Aw. You guys had so much fun! I was also a Laguna Beach fan. They were SO fancy lol. Is the Swifty and Disney Adult venn diagram a circle? Y'all are so interesting lol. It's like you know you're in a cult but also 🤷🏼♀️ it's fine. It's oddly endearing.
not me watching and wondering the whole time if yall were gonna go to thousand steps!!!!!!!! fun storytime about thousand steps: when i went there when i was 16 my sister, her bsf + i went there with my mom and the girlies wanted to go to to the side of thousand steps where the big rocks are to see the earth made pool, and then on the way back i fell off the giant rocks LOL
I would love a review/video on alder apparel! If you have the time - they are looking for help to expand their sizing and inclusivity for the outdoors!
I just wanna point out at any time we purchase from a company that is donating what we’re doing a stopping the company from paying taxes. It’s better to just pay to an actual nonprofit. If you want an item for your purchase then purchase from a nonprofit. So every $50 that business donates to a nonprofit is 50 less dollars they have to pay their taxes. In the case of Oddli they are donating 50% of profits to an NAF which means every single dollar that they donate to that nonprofit will be written off on their taxes. it is better for all of us to purchase from a nonprofit or donate to of nonprofit because the amount that we write off on our taxes if we even make enough to do that is minuscule while even small corporations harm our economy and our social welfare system by essentially writing off the money we are donating. Amazon smile also does this, any of us have used Amazon smile have actively participated in Amazon not paying taxes because when we buy an item Amazon donates a percentage that percentage adds up and that’s how they don’t pay taxes. And for those of us who can’t afford to donate large chunks of money I recently have started copping what my grandmother did and setting a set donation monthly that’s for small amounts like $5. A consistent small donation is often also better for the organization than a one time large donation. These are things that none of us know and it’s on purpose which is why I’m sharing, not guilt or shame bc we all have done it but for education so we can all make informed decisions.
Love to see the new place coming together so well! It‘s looking awesome. Pleaseeee steam the take it easy tapestry though omg it gives frat boy when people don’t steam before they hang
What do you think about the new Laguna/Hills podcasts?? Been watching Whitney's reaction videos for years and love them, but not sure how I feel about the podcasts yet.
Do you know, or have you ever watched *Joanna Spicer? I love both you ladies and was just curious :) (she also just posted "girls weekend in Laguna" vlog!)
Have you seen Whitney Port’s videos on UA-cam where she rewatches all the shows with her husband? Soo good and fun to watch! Glad you had a fun trip - Loved the vlog!
You can use anchors and things will definitely stay hung. Command strips work on a lot but not everything. You’ll have to patch the holes when you move out but that’s very easy
THAT'S what Surf & Sport looks like 💀 #underwhelmed. Love this vlog! Do you watch Whit & Timmy? Just listened to Kristin & Ste-pheeeen's podcast too 🔥🔥🔥
Carrie, are you listening to Stephen and Kristen‘s pod cast? They’re rewatching Laguna Beach and discussing what was real and what was MTV dramatization, it’s really interesting!!!
Ugh, life goal is to bump into you and Alexa at a thrift store. I have a client that runs a vintage thrift store here in SD, Death Trip Vintage, that you should check out! 😉
Fun fact: I fell off a cliff at thousand steps beach and this is the first time I’ve seen it since the accident in 2016! If you look to the left when you get to the bottom of the stairs, you can see the cliff I fell off of in the distance 😂 (ps I am all good now so we can laugh LOL)
CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEARS LAGUNA TRIP TOGETHER ❤
Your friendship with Alexa is truly the most wholesome thing 🥰
Carrie, the filming background is looking amazing! What if you hung a curtain rod over the doorway and found some cool fabric or vintage curtains.
Or go retro with beads.

Exactly what I needed on a very bad day! A 20 minute Carrie vlog! 😍
As a fellow renter you can buy command hooks that can hold different weights! They have even been rolling out new products where you can hang pictures with complicated backs where the command hook mimics a nail on the front end but is still the same damage free wall sticker on the back!
I feel like a girls trip to a beach is exactly what I need in my life
That tiger tapestry 😍😍😍
I’m glad you guys got the chance to redo the trip!
Love You two!❤

i love your friendship w alexa sm!
In the UK, we would probably call that sort of decoration 'bunting'. Love your new place 😀 xx
I'm so so glad you are here too!
OMG Carrie, wish this video was longer!!!!! I was a huge Laguna fan!!!! Glad you and Alexa had an amazing time! Love you girls :)
I've probably commented this before, but my parents live in Laguna so I always love seeing your love for my favorite place!
omg the new podcast with Kristin and Steven is EVERYTHING, I love it so much.
how you were acting showing alexa august is no joke EXACTLY like me showing people august 😂 just fully losing my mind at how good it is every time
Happy Birthday to Alexa!! After watching this vlog, I need to get to Laguna! Great vlog!!!
I just love seeing you two together. I hope you and Alexa had an awesome time.
The “my body” t shirt - if it is towelling on the inside it could be a good beach / swimming cover up :)
The word you're thinking of is bunting. Adorable
I'm an introvert, so I totally understand what you mean about recovering after being social. ❤️
it's always so comforting to see your reunions with alexa! i love you both very much and i feel like i'm part of the friend group as well 🥺💗
I love you and Alexa together. Good vibes all around.
I grew up in Laguna and I love that you showed my middle and high school! It is pretty special to live there, let me know if you want any locals recommendations Carrie!
I just love your vlogs! Always make my day a little brighter!
Love seeing you girls together!! ❤️
If you know you know! Yesss! Also - check out treasure island beach. It is the BEST! So beautiful. Walking paths and beach access. 💕
Garland?!?!?! Love seeing you and Alexa having a good time, thanks for taking us along!
Love Alexa and you. Friendship is so important.
The food at plant power looks amazing! 🤤 hope they come over here to the UK 🇬🇧 🙏 Happy birthday Alexa 🎉🎁xx
Good morning Carrie happy Saturday morning and I loved your channel and your vlogs is amazing and you are amazing Supporter
So I have a moon wall chain hanging thing that a family member got me when she used to work at UO. I think something like that, skinny and long, could work well above the door frame so it takes up that blank white space above the door.
No shade to any of your other friends, but Alexa is hands down my favorite one to see in your vlogs. ❤️
I loved watching this because I was just in Laguna last month 😍 If I could afford it I’d move in a heartbeat
I was waiting for this video! My day was so stressful and this video made me so happy! Thank you Carrie 🥰🥰
Garland - I think that’s the word you are looking for!
So cool. I love laguna I live close enough to go whenever I want. Tho the traffic over there is 😬😬. Lol. But it’s always worth it. ♥️
Ahhh you went to my favorite thrift store in FV 💕 I’m there so often I’m surprised I didn’t see you 🤣
Love watching your vlogs and how you decorate your spaces. You should get a step stool to make hanging things easier!
love seeing you and Alexa
*walking for food*
My spirit animal.
Love the Laguna Vlog.
Reminds me I need to go to the beach before summer is over.
I also got your ad for kohl before the video, it was a nice surprise
You should look into the drywall command hooks!
Happy birthday alexa, a Leo queen 🔥🦁♌
Not the spongebob and patrick colored hydroflasks making the bff vibes 🔥
Ficus tree or rubber plant are ones I love!!!!
Anyone else have to pause the video to go listen to August? 💛 or just me? 😅
Loved this vlog, it looked so beautiful!
The tapestry with the tiger is amazing! What are you using to hang things on the wall?
Oh man, pretty sure you both were 10 minutes from my house at the savers & plant power. I would love to run into both of you some day! You two are honestly two of my favorite influencers. I’ve never explored Laguna, ya’ll look like you have so much fun every time! 🖤🖤
Tbh, I do not like command strips. They don't stick to cheap paint that landlords use & half the time the strip gets stuck on the wall or takes the paint off anyways. Just let me use a nail!!! Rant aside, I love the gallery wall!
OMG I am so early for the first time ever!!
Thank you for your videos!! :)
I live in NYC now but I'm from CA and still visit once a year. Your video made me miss it! Can you share the name of the hotel you stayed in? It looks so nice and relaxing
Aw. You guys had so much fun! I was also a Laguna Beach fan. They were SO fancy lol.
Is the Swifty and Disney Adult venn diagram a circle? Y'all are so interesting lol. It's like you know you're in a cult but also 🤷🏼♀️ it's fine. It's oddly endearing.
I always click so fast when I receive Carries notifications 🥰
Also I need to know where your glasses are from!!
Are you gonna watch Steven and Kristin's podcast going over each episode?
not me watching and wondering the whole time if yall were gonna go to thousand steps!!!!!!!! fun storytime about thousand steps: when i went there when i was 16 my sister, her bsf + i went there with my mom and the girlies wanted to go to to the side of thousand steps where the big rocks are to see the earth made pool, and then on the way back i fell off the giant rocks LOL
hiiii carrie, i just want you to know that youre my internet home- when i feel lonely I put on your vlogs. thanks for being so welcoming!! much love 💜
I WILL CRY 🥺 ily
hey Carrie! Have you tried getting the heavy duty command strips? Theres some that say they can hold up to 16 pounds
Getting a tour of my favorite place and live.
Love you!!!
Happy birthday to alexa.🎂💐🎉 Seems like we share the same birth date 🤗
The gloves 😂
*please what glasses are those?*
If it’s too heavy - take it out of the frame to hang up! Or replace the frame with plastic frame so it’s lighter
Steeephennnnn!
I would love a review/video on alder apparel! If you have the time - they are looking for help to expand their sizing and inclusivity for the outdoors!
love,love,love command strips ...

Keep the paint chip to match the paint color when you have to patch it whenever you move out! Lol
Now i wanna go back to California just to go to laguna beach hahah
When you played August 😭😭😭😭
Love to see the new place coming together so well! It‘s looking awesome. Pleaseeee steam the take it easy tapestry though omg it gives frat boy when people don’t steam before they hang

The Kristin and Stephen podcast is SO GOOD, please listen yall.

The mushroom tapestry is called bunting!
You can use anchors and things will definitely stay hung. Command strips work on a lot but not everything. You’ll have to patch the holes when you move out but that’s very easy
Pennant or bunting are a couple ways to say the stringed decor
Thousand Steps beach is my fav.....shhhhhhhh LOL
This vlog is the same length as your last vlog 😱
THAT'S what Surf & Sport looks like 💀 #underwhelmed. Love this vlog! Do you watch Whit & Timmy? Just listened to Kristin & Ste-pheeeen's podcast too 🔥🔥🔥
The way I truly thought Layla was a rug until she moved behind Carrie…..
Carrie, are you listening to Stephen and Kristen‘s pod cast? They’re rewatching Laguna Beach and discussing what was real and what was MTV dramatization, it’s really interesting!!!
OF COURSE I AM 💞
Can you get Drew to do that Alabama thing again. Omg so funny!!
Ugh, life goal is to bump into you and Alexa at a thrift store.
I have a client that runs a vintage thrift store here in SD, Death Trip Vintage, that you should check out! 😉
Did you buy a house in California? Did you move again?
Fun fact: I fell off a cliff at thousand steps beach and this is the first time I’ve seen it since the accident in 2016! If you look to the left when you get to the bottom of the stairs, you can see the cliff I fell off of in the distance 😂 (ps I am all good now so we can laugh LOL)
OH MY GOD??? i'm so glad you're okay!!!
Had to stop the video to play August…
It’s called bunting 🥰
Have you started listening to Kristin and Stephen podcast? ❤ ❤
Me with my august tattoo 🤡
Did you know Kristin and Stephen have a podcast out about the show? They watch an episode each week and reminisce about what really happened.
OF COURSE! i've listened to every episode haha!!
