Happy Thursday, welcome back to another episode of Hot Mess with Alex Earl.

We're going to switch it up today. We're going to do things a little bit differently because

I'm still in Europe right now. We're actually in Capri and it's been so nice because I know that I said I was going to try and like get off my

phone in the last episode and I actually have because I'm still and I this sounds like so

stupid and basic but I am still posting from like Venice while I've been in

Capri so I feel like I've just like been here without like I don't know
