Product placement

jetBlue: it is the airline the video is using to fly to Aruba. Removing it would change the context of the travel. Dunkin': the cups are visible and being consumed. Removing them would not change the video's narrative. Lenovo: a monitor with the Lenovo logo is visible in the background of the hotel room. Removing it would not change the video's narrative. Polo Ralph Lauren: the man in the pink shirt is wearing a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt. Removing it would not change the video's narrative.

Transcript

Come with me to Aruba! Me and Michaela are about to jump on a flight so let's go! Got our boarding passes, went through customs, easy peasy. Got our Dunkin' drink, a little breakfast moment. And we were about to get on that plane, headed to Aruba. I'm so fucking excited. So what are we doing? Shots! We are celebrating. We did get a little tipsy on the plane and it was pretty fucking nice. And then this view. Four and a half hours later, I'm in paradise. I'm so excited to be on this goofy goober trip. I need this moment after breaking up with someone for 12 years of spending my life with them. Look at this face. How could that not make me happy? Cheers to sisterhood. Cheers to girlhood. And then the queen and king showed up, Sydney and Adam. I could not be more happy to see my extended family. How lucky am I? Look at this family I've built. I'm so fucking excited that I get to share every single day with you guys on camera. But instead, I want you to hear my organic excitement right now. Like, I'm so fucking grateful and I'm so excited that I get to share every single day with you guys on camera. The view. Look at this. This is heaven on earth. I could feel the breeze, I could smell the salt in the air. I could hear the music and the people laughing. I am so excited to be here.
