 I guess it's Monica. Thank you so much for joining me. So in this video, I'm going to share a few empties and Probably a little bit of a chitchat. So if you're curious, stay tuned You so much for coming back I don't have a whole lot of empties and you know, I think sometimes I just forget to gather up my empties I sort of have a a basket I keep in the bathroom and that's fine I put it in the bathtub and I dump my empties in there when I'm in the bathroom But when I'm in the rest of the house, you know in the kitchen and all that I I never even think of it so a couple of things that I have empty that I have repurchased and Really like that. I often don't really talk about Now these two I have specifically for the dry eye. All right, my dry eyes been under control knock on wood. Thank goodness So one of the things that I've been doing is I've been taking on a mega three Mini and this is a thousand milligrams fish oil every day. I take two of them every day in the morning Just to help Keep me moisturized. I guess I'm not a huge fan of the fish oil in general the taste or anything of that nature This really doesn't have a bad taste and I don't get any burpees from it type of thing Which in the past sometimes fish oil I have that and I just it's so gross So I repurchased and I just bought the spring valley. I think I probably got this in Wal-Mot or maybe even Walgreens I'm not too sure so this is the one I use and my dry eye routine So far has been working really well. The other thing that I use to my dry eye is My soothing eye wash. I had bought an eye wash off of Amazon I can't remember the name of it now. I'd have to look at my Amazon basket And I really liked it But when I ran out, I didn't want to order it from the Amazon So I went into Walgreens and I looked for something that had the similar ingredients that I could use as an eye wash And I got the Walgreens soothing eye wash I use this every day after I take off my eye makeup at night. I will wipe very gently around with a You know a pad a little cotton pad or sometimes just my fingers and soak all of this into my eyes After the fact after I've removed my makeup so both of these are repeats for me and Both of these have been working really well One thing that I am ordering and I don't have it yet is I am ordering the electric eye mask that I have in You know that I use at night I did get that off of the Amazon and the only reason I'm ordering an other one is that the one I have Sometimes when I wash it because I don't throw it in the dryer. It's an electric eye mask So I wash it by hand and then I let it dry and sometimes it takes a while to dry So I thought it would be good to have a second one plus also when I'm camping. So I have ordered that it is coming and I really like that electric eye mask. I probably it's on a timer I know you guys have heard me say this before so sometimes I put this on I'm listening to a podcast I fall asleep it shuts off after an hour sometimes I get up in the middle of night and I Go to the restroom or whatever and I come back and I plug it back in so I really like that eye mask an awful lot I do have another one that I can put in the microwave But it isn't as convenient as the one that's electric that I can have plugged in and just turn on by my bedside So I really like that a lot L'Oreal magic root cover-up man I go through a lot of these with my bio hair my bio hair has been super thin and I mean, I've just tried something new. I'm on my third week of it I'll say I'll talk about in a separate video, but it just tried something new for my thinning hair But one of the things that I've been trying to do is not process my hair as much So I've been wanting to get away get rid of some of the brassiness in my bio hair So I've been letting it go more gray with low lights and high lights mixed in so it doesn't look great But the the magic would cover up when the roots get there and you can see the gray line. I'm like so I spray this and I Really like this now. It isn't It's not gonna it's not permanent by any stretch But in it it hasn't I've been caught in the rain and stuff like that I haven't noticed any kind of fallout or drip off or whatever If if you see it on sale definitely I what I do is if there's a cute one sale or something Especially in Walgreens, I'll buy a couple of them. I really like it. This is the medium a blonde that I have I also have one that's a brown a darker color because I like the highlight low light look So I will tend to spray sometimes both of them So the L'Oreal Magic Group cover-ups is the one that I prefer I really like it a lot and it just Especially when I put my hair up like when I put my hair up and I put the little fake buttons in the back And I pin my hair up. I really need this to tone down any gray look that might pop out I know some of you ladies are embracing gray and I think that's fantastic. I'm just not there yet I'm not there yet So I'm gonna cover it up as much as I can and this has been working really well for me I don't know how many of these I've purchased. I purchased a lot of them the Other thing that I really like is the DHC deep cleansing oil I think I might have talked about this in one of my other empties I had to going finally emptied the last one I just got the new replacement in about a week or so ago I think it was my lean fabbing glam that talked about this well for me When I put this on and I close my eyes and I put it on my fingers and I massage it very gently into my eyes and I just slowly do it in circular motions Massaging it into my eyes and I can feel you know that my mascara is lifting off you can you can feel that so after maybe I don't know 30 seconds. I'm now. I never really time it. I'm never in a rush I then rinse it off and then I'll use my regular cleanser I just use this on my eye makeup and for me it works really good I've tried a couple of other products that I got at the drugstore That was supposed to be just as nice. I think one was physicians formula. I have it here somewhere I didn't like it. It didn't seem to work as nice as this. I just like the texture of this It doesn't leave my eyes my skin oily It takes the makeup off without any tugging or rubbing. There's no smell to it. It's clean I'm it's clean. I don't know if it's clean clean, but it's you know, it it leaves me my eyes looking really clean So I really like this a lot got the replacement and that was my lean fabbing glam that had originally talked about that Mercy handy This is a clean deodorant flower power. This was said to me quite a while ago Gosh, I don't even know how long ago via the octaline network from Mercy handy to try I have used this and use this and use this this is packed and I've taken it on trips I've taken out in the camper. It's finally empty and it took me a while to empty it And I'll tell you I like this deodorant a lot. It it made me it there wasn't a smell to it There was no powdery residue. I I felt Clean I felt fresh It did everything it claims to do on me. I really liked it. There was no reaction with my skin and I would definitely Definitely repurchase this again again. I said this was I think I said this was sent to me by the octaline network from Mercy handy Quite a long time ago in exchange for a review I like it has my seal of approval if you're a fussy about deodorants. This might be something you might want to try oh Qms this was Sheila had talked about this and I think I had bought two or three of these and If I can find it again because it's quite expensive But we got it quite reasonable on eBay and it was the real deal So if I can find this again, I will buy it. I think out of all the eye creams I've used this one leaves me feeling the best and that's QMS and I'm Don't know if you're gonna be able to find it. I don't even know if Sheila's gotten another one yet Or she's still on her the ones we bought a while ago. I am a heavy product user So I don't go lightly on anything including my retina, you know, I dip my fingers in and I am a heavy user So this you probably could it would probably last a lot longer than Than it does on me because of the fact that I have heavy fingers and I just dip it in and and just you know use it nail polish I Had they ever use nail polish right now. I have just been going through a thing I haven't had I haven't gone to have a manicure. I haven't gone to have a pedicure I don't have pretty nails when I show products. My nails are short stubbly Not the best but and I don't use the best product. I did Just recently order a glass nail file I'm going to try the glass nail file and see how it does because I have a lot of rigid And I sometimes think that that file is probably helping to contribute to that to tearing up my nails So I use a lot of the equate products. I like equate If they're the same ingredients as an other product, I buy the equate because it's a lot cheaper So I'll let you know when that glass nail file comes in But I'm really excited to try it and see if it does help my help my nails a little bit I don't know so CYO finally finished it. I know CYO they don't even make it anymore Love love love this foundation. This is the one that for a while You could only get in London and I really don't know whether they could even even get that there now And then I get the elf brow Instant lift brow pencil. So this one's gone And I think this is the taupe. It's got the little brush the little spoolie brush on the end I have another one. I've got actually two of these that I have as a replacement. I really like this I pencil my brow in I comb it through then I use I think it is an essence sort of a brow it's a I didn't know what you call it's like a wax and I put that on to kind of hold them in place my brows are very light I have been using a product to kind of increase the density of my brows But it's too soon for me to really even report back on that but so far I am definitely liking it. So that's a couple of my empties. So update on my mother We're still waiting test results on mom and she's she has good days and she has bad days She lives alone. She's a very independent very strong woman and we are all trying to rally around her To do as much as we can to be there as much as we can for her So my sister and I are both of us, you know, I work full-time my sister works. She's got a travel agency She's a it's a boutique travel agency and she does that from home So she goes through spurts of being super busy at work because she books a lot of cruises So if you know anyone that's wanting to go on a cruise reach out to me I'll give you my sister's contact information for them So we're we're sort of alternating, you know, always like keeping in touch with each other My sister knows when Jay and I are going away when we're camping and all that So, you know, we're doing the best we can with helping my mom as much as we can we're waiting for some more test results, but there's only so many tests my mom is willing to do and She's she's totally of a sound mind So she can make her own decisions. It isn't like someone has to make a decision for her But at 94, she's very vibrant woman has led a great wonderful life and suddenly she's sick And that's hot for her to to adapt to which I can certainly understand So really not much to report there at all As far as my most surgery that is still scheduled I think I told everyone or maybe not June 1st So when we it'll be right after Memorial Day weekend. I'm kind of freely nervous about it I'm trying not to be but I am really nervous about it I remember showing you guys those cute little band-aids that I bought well I'm gonna be having to use them. I've got a couple of training jobs booked and I'm gonna be like looking weird So, I know it's probably just vanity, but I am I am a little bit nervous about it So but that's coming up and I I will probably Film a little bit of it. We'll see how I do I've got some befores and afters and different things that I can add into it and And share it with you the process. I think the thing to remember is that if you see something Different on your skin. I mean, you know your skin well, right? If you see something that looks different You should have it looked at like right away. Don't don't Hesitate don't wait. Don't think oh, it's nothing because that's what I did, you know, oh, it's nothing. It's gonna go away I mean, I had that spot on my side of my nose for a good long time You know a good long time. So Anyways, that's that's the story on that that's coming up Memorial Day weekend A lot of people are going away camping and and all that I'll share some of that At a on a video when I you know after the holidays I will probably have a video recorded that you will see on Memorial Day or During that weekend sometime. I'll also have a couple of wig reviews that I'm going to be doing and things that I want to talk About for hair and also the product that I bought. I actually bought the product in Walmart. So I'm pretty surprised I found it there, but I did so anyways, I'll talk about that in another video I appreciate all of you coming back watching my videos thumbs up in the videos leaving me comments I know I've been so scattered as our is responding and I just appreciate your understanding life has been a little bit Tupsy-turvy and oh my foot. That's the one to tell you I Went out for a bike ride On my foot. I went out for a bike ride I put on my Tiva sandals those sports crappy sandals because I can't get in my foot inside a sneaker I could but it would hurt too much So whenever bike ride and my Tiva stood really great, so I felt super awesome That's really about it for my empties I keep forgetting like I say to add things to it that I just toss in the kitchen But just wanted to update you all on that I again appreciate every single one of you and I will see you in my next video.
