Finally, the video we’ve all been waiting for… the one where I get to return to Colonial Williamsburg after ~20 years!! As some of you guys might know, I bring up Colonial Williamsburg *a lot*, as it left a big impression on me as a child – so we decided to make the trip to the historical town of Williamsburg, VA to get an 18th century makeover (hair, makeup, and outfit!) and explore their living history museum, in costume. A big thank you to Abby Cox & Nicole Rudolph for helping out with our final look, and thank you to Colonial Williamsburg for inviting us!
