 Good morning today. I'm gonna talk about what's been making me happy. What have been some of my favorites? I'm gonna answer a few questions that you've had one of which is how much my PM skincare cost. I did my AM skincare last time, but when I did my PM I didn't talk about cost and today I'm going to announce the five winners from my Timeless giveaway. Timeless provides these items for me to give to you. So all five winners are going to be receiving five items of skincare. The first thing I want to talk about is getting to spend some time with my oldest sister. I'm the youngest of three and this year we're three years apart. So this year I'll be 70. My middle sister 73 and my oldest sister is 76 and that's just so hard for me to believe. I have two excellent older sisters and I wish everybody was as lucky as I am. My middle sister who's 73, I see her every Wednesday. We have a very close relationship, but I don't get to see my oldest sister very often at all. She lives in Florida. I talked her in to letting me put up just a snapshot of us together. Her son took it. Of course, there is absolutely no touch-ups. I wouldn't. I don't want anybody to touch up anything of mine, you know. I just want to be who I am right all the time and so does she, but I've talked about how beautiful her hair is. She's a brunette. She was born a brunette My middle sister was as blonde as can be and I was strawberry blonde. So we had light. I was kind of medium and then my oldest sister is dark. But here's what she looks like now and I love her hair. If I had enough silver in my hair to let it go naturally, I would do it in a minute. But I'm still about 80% non-gray. She is probably my biggest fan when it comes to videos. She contacts me after every single video and is always very, very encouraging. If I'd ever have a slip-up, she'd be the first one to let me know. And so far, I've done really well because I know my sisters are watching me. But I had some real quality time with her and I appreciated that. And as you could tell in the photo that I shared of my sister and me, I've had my hair cut and had my roots touched up. So that always makes me happy. My stylist of 30 years is very pleased with the thickness of my hair. So that she's kept touch with that. In fact, one time, I think it was like in 2009, after she shampooed my hair and cut it, she called the pharmacy. And she said, I'm sending Mary Ellen over and this is what I want you to get her. That's how bad my hair was. She called in an order of vitamins to the local pharmacy. So she keeps tabs on it. The next thing is an item that absolutely impressed me. My middle sister had gotten me some pajamas one time for my birthday. And I looked to see what the fabric was because I loved the way it felt. And I believe it was Maudal, M-O-D-A-L with some viscose. And I looked both of them up and the Maudal is made from a beech wood tree. And the viscose is made from bamboo, which replenishes very quickly. So I thought I want to try some bamboo sheets. So I went to the internet and I was just reading about bamboo sheets in general. And I knew I didn't want to spend a lot of money. But I knew if I ordered them on Amazon, there would be absolutely no problem for me to return them. Well, they were wonderful. And I have a pillowcase here and I'll tell you about them in a minute. But first I want to show you I do no fabric. I used to sew all the time. And I know like the drape, the weight, the stitches, the seams. I check all those things and when I got these, the first thing I did, of course, I take them out of the bag and I felt him and I thought, I don't know, these may be a fail. They felt just a little stiff. They felt a little bit too much like satin to me. And I've had satin sheets and did not like them. So I washed them and I dried them and I put them on the bed and oh my gosh, they feel wonderful. And mine, I think were fit up at the link to the ones that I bought. But what I think is really interesting is that the different colors are different prices. And at the time I bought these and these are Navy. And of course, they go it didn't really matter what color was on my bed. I paid about fifty seven eighty four for these and I got the queen size. Oh, it's the fitted sheet has elastic all around and it easily. I have got a mattress. It's probably about that deep and I have plenty of room to take it in the pillowcases. I could just keep going because I do love fabric. I really do. I love I love anything that feels good. I don't know if all bamboo sheets are like this. And I will know later on how they wear. But oh my gosh, I've washed them twice and put them right back on the bed. I didn't even want to put my other sheets on and I have good other sheets. But I just absolutely love them. So that's what my one of my very favorite happy things were this past month. Since I'm talking about things that feel good and things that I love that are kind of luxurious. I was really happy that I was able to buy my L'Occitane Almond shower oil. This is twenty four dollars and I have spent twenty four dollars for it. But I'll tell you how to have price at twelve and it's like eight point four ounces. And one of them I try to. If I'm good, it'll last nine months to a year because I just use a small amount. And I mostly use it just on my upper body. I just love the scent and I love the way my skin feels. Nancy is one of my viewers and she said she loved this even more. And it's from a notarium. It's a glow getter multi oil body wash and you get a lot with this. It's like sixteen point nine fluid ounces. And I think it was around fifteen dollars and I love it. It makes your body feel wonderful. I do miss the scent of the almond oil. So I will still buy both. And I use also I use all different kinds. I'm not like a snob, but I love a bath. I love a nice bath and I like to pick what I want. Sometimes I just want something generic and just get in there and take a bath and get out and sometimes I just want to relax. And it's in my claw foot bathtub that I think it's six generations that my family have bathed in. I'm not sure about the seventh, but I would imagine one of these days there'll be a seventh generation. The first thing I'm going to do is put them in the bathtub. The next item is something really handy. And this is what I had used for a long time. I like the multi plug retractable charger. I was going somewhere with a friend and it was at a hospital and I might have needed to stay all night. So I wanted to make sure I had a charger for my phone. So I put this in my purse and I do have some smaller squares and this. And I thought, well, I'll be fine. I'll charge it anywhere. Well, I was in the lobby for probably four hours. And there were only huge lobby. There were like four, four outlets, one on each wall. And I kept eyeing and watching people and thinking as soon as they leave, I'm going to go over there so I can charge it. Well, when I did, I found in the corner, they had a charging station and I could have done that. This just has like a three foot reach. But I love it. It's retractable. There's nothing that I own that's rechargeable that this won't work with. So anytime I buy something that's rechargeable, I just pitch the chargers and use these. Great. Because of that, I thought I want something different. And I also like to get all the guys in my life, something that is a little different for Christmas. I always give him money and something else. But I was looking for a charger and I went on Amazon because that's where I usually find a lot of things. I'll look other places too. And this is what I found. It has a plug in. I think it's that is that an AC? I'm not sure you can plug it in the wall. It tells you what percent battery you have left. Not only does it do like Apple products. It also has the two other ports, I think they're called. So you can just have this charged and put it in your purse. I think you could also, if you needed to, I think you could. Let me see. I haven't looked. I haven't read the specs on this. I think you could put it in your phone. And, yeah, and talk if you needed to in an emergency while it's charging. So I haven't recharged this. It's at 76 percent. I charged my phone fully with it a couple of weeks ago. And I'm just in it with 76 percent then and now it's 76 percent. But I was excited. So I already have my extra gifts ready for Christmas. The next thing I have to give total credit to Mary from the channel Glitzy Fritzy. We both love Grande, Brow, Grande Lash. She uses other products from Grande. Those are my two favorite. And I have been faithful in buying those for a couple of years. And I started out using them every night. The Grande Brow on my brows and the Grande Lash on my lashes. And once they reached where I wanted one of them to reach, I started doing it like Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So that really reduced the cost. And my brows, I could have one of the questions I get are if I use that Grande stuff, why aren't my eyebrows longer? This is as long as I want them. I've had them longer and I didn't like them. I like them the length that they are. Well, this is what Mary found out. She looked on the website and looked for the ingredients of the Grande Brow. And then she looked for the ingredients in the Grande Lash and they were exactly the same. So I did the same thing. I went to the Grande Cosmetics website and then I went to Ulta to their website. And both of them had the exact same ingredients. The Grande Brow has three ml's and I think it's around seventy three dollars. I'll check that in just a minute. And the Grande Lash just has two ml's and I think it's sixty eight dollars. So what I did, I figured out how much it was a mil. The Grande Brow is twenty four dollars and thirty three cents a mil. And the Grande Lash is thirty four dollars a mil. So what I'm going to do the next time I'm out, this is one of the small ones. It I started using it January 1st. So when it runs out, I already have my backup to the Grande Brow and I'm going to open it and remove this and this fits in. I've already checked that it fits in and I'm going to use them and see if it that how it works. So I was really excited to hear the reason I love. I mean, of course, I like a little bit of longer eyelashes, but I don't want to do anything to my brows. I don't want to color them. I don't want to, you know, I just don't want to mess with them. The only thing I do is I make sure that they lay down because some of them are unruly. The product I've used is from Anastasia Beverly Hills. And it looks like that. I just dip a brush in. I've got plenty of it. But I have heard so much about the Nix brow glue. I ordered some and it comes in a tube like that. That this is nine dollars and the Anastasia is, I think, twenty three. This has a little over half as much as that. So you do get a good amount. I'll show you what I love and it does work, but it does not work as well as the ABH for my brows because I have a lot of I've got plenty of brown hair. But look at this cute little tiny brush. I will use it, especially when I don't need it for a long amount of time. But the people who don't have unruly brow hairs, they probably absolutely love this. I've tried everything long before I was on YouTube, everything I could. Hairspray is what worked the best for a while. And then it gets kind of dry underneath from all that alcohol. I do have on some makeup today, I have on eye shadow. I have a little bit of the Laura Geller Balance and Brighton. I have a little bit. I have some blush, so I was kind of excited. Here I am staying home in my old sweatshirt and I have makeup on. But it was fun putting it on. I enjoyed it. Well, Alta also had the Maracuja lip plumbers on. Then the Maracuja lip balms that look like that. I still have some of those because I bought extra when I bought them. Well, they had these for half price. And when I opened that up and I looked at that, I thought, there's no way. I ordered this, no way whatsoever. And I looked at the name and it said, Honey's Circle. And I thought, well, yep, I did order it. So I have it on today. I just clicked at one time and I'll. Oh, it is so easy to go on. It feels so good. And I don't have to wear any lip liner with it. I am still a slacker on lip liner. But I really like it. It has a little minty flavor. I don't feel any plumping with it at all. But I just really like the formula. Quite a few people ask me how I get the best prices on things. Well, once you know what you want to use, whether it is drugstore or, you know, boutique type, I like that skin care products I use are from SkinDiva, Timeless, Dermatology and a couple others that I can't think of off the top of my head. Well, I've signed up for emails for all those places. So I get an email when they have a sale on those three places. I also have a discount code, like if it was it cosmetics I was buying, I would sign up for Ulta emails for it cosmetics emails. And a lot of times I get an email that it was 30 percent off, plus an extra 10 percent off on Ulta and Sephora. I always sign up for rewards. I don't use Sephora much. I just never really have. But because I like the rewards program better on Ulta and sometimes you can get five times points, which is much better than 20 percent off. So I just kind of keep a list of what I need and I can always get whatever I need on sale. If I used items from the drugstore, I'd be watching YouTube things on how to get the most at CVS or how to get the most at Walgreens. Because I know people personally that when they tell me what they ended up spending at Walgreens or CVS, I can't believe it. They know how to use the coupons and double stack or whatever it is that I always can find a way to save money. But you need to know what you're looking for. And yes, I did hear from several people who ordered their timeless vitamin C from Amazon. And everyone I heard from said it turned dark quickly. The date was good on it, but it hadn't probably been stored in a refrigerator. I don't know. But on the timeless website, it says six months if stored in the refrigerator. I don't know how cold those small refrigerators are that people use for their beauty items. I don't know how cold that gets, but I have never had to throw away any and I keep mine in my refrigerator. And in the cost of my nighttime skincare, OK, I'm going to read this because I want to give the right information. I use two timeless eye creams per year. Never I've never had to buy more than two. It's twenty two ninety five and I get got the timeless last year at 40 percent off. So after I do the discount for two of them, it's twenty seven dollars and fifty four cents, which ends up to eight cents a day. My prescription tretenoyen, I get a prescription for it. I go through GoodRX. I found my receipt and it was sixty dollars and ninety six cents for a forty five gram tube. That cost seventeen cents a day. One tube will last me well over a year, but I use some every other night underneath my neck. I use the point zero five underneath, you know, on my neck about three times a week. So let's just give that five cents is what I think that would cost. So that makes it twenty three cents a day. On the night I on the night I don't use the retina on my neck. I use the kikai naturals oil. I don't get a discount on that. It makes me mad. It's thirty eight ninety. I'll keep a bottle for two years because I only use a few drops every other night. And then when I derma row on Sunday. So that is thirty eight ninety. Last me two years nineteen forty five and that's five cents a day. And then I bought two different night creams and I would say half the time I use it at night and in a two ounce jar and these are both two ounce jars will last me well over a year since I don't use it all the time. One of them is skin diva hydrating moisturizer. It's lovely. I've been using it like when I use it. I use one on half my face and the other one on the other side. The other one is the dermatology peptide night cream renew. They both are lovely. I'll have a hard time picking which one I'll get when I repurchase. But the cost of the dermatology peptide cream is forty six dollars. And I got mine for 30 percent off, which is thirty two dollars and twenty two cents a year, which is nine cents a day. And the skin diva is twenty four ninety nine. I use my discount and got twenty percent off and it was nineteen ninety nine, which makes it five cents a day. So when you add up, if I use the if I would go with the dermatology, it's going to cost me forty two cents a day. If I go with the skin diva, it's going to cost me forty cents a day. So I'm still under a dollar a day for morning and nighttime skincare. The nerd in me just had to share that with you. So now I'm ready to announce the winners of my giveaway.
