 Good morning. Today I'm gonna talk about my slacker beauty routine. I'm not gonna talk about how I do my skincare but it's kind of the extra things that I do that I get a lot of questions about because I really am a slacker. I want to put the least amount of time and get the best results. I'm gonna talk about some updates around here, chit chat and and you just never know. First I've got to talk about the elephant in the room or the lighting in the room. It is dark outside. Well it's daylight but it's really dark and I never talk about this but I had to put up some lamps and because I don't have any lighting or anything and everything with the exception of what I'm wearing I purchased myself like always. This is a birthday gift and I have purchased many barefoot dreams items for gifts but I've never owned one and these are the barefoot dreams Lux Milk Jersey. Oh my gosh I washed them I've worn them this is gonna be a pajama day and I just thought I'd come to you with my pajamas on. I have another pair that's very similar to this but I love these. I know they weren't purchased at Nordstrom but if I find out where they were purchased I will try to find a link and if you ever use any of my links most of them I will earn something so you need to know that but what I like about it you can go directly and see if something's for you or not and and I like that. I like that when I watch that in other channels because a lot of times I can click on a link and I know immediately if it's for me or not for me. My skincare extras are based around days and on Sunday there's certain things that I do every single Sunday. The first Sunday of every month I derma roll I'm talking just about my face and right in here I derma roll that only on Sundays and I use the 0.5 the half millimeter derma roller and this is the kind that I like and then the rest of the Sundays I use the 0.25 and I do think it's helped. I'm doing everything I've always done with my skin and haven't changed it up so you're not gonna learn a lot of new things here but that's what I do. Okay every other Sunday morning I shave my face. I love shaving my face. It's my very favorite thing to do. I love this Shade a razor. I like the ergonomics of it. They're not expensive. It's never cut me. I've tried all kinds. I haven't tried the one that's like expensive that you buy and you replace the razors. I haven't tried that because I shave I'd say twice with one razor but I really do enjoy it and it does has never made anything grow in any faster. I've derma rolled my face longer than I've shaved my face I do believe. I think I've derma rolled my face well anyway it doesn't matter but I I look forward to that. This is every other Sunday and in the other Sunday of the month I found a mask I really like and I bought it from dermatology and is there it is their pumpkin enzyme mask. I've tried the one from Andalus Naturals. I've tried two other pumpkin enzyme masks that bothered me you know I mean my skin isn't it's still normal but it's a little bit sensitive and I do this once a month and it's the last Sunday of the month is when I do this. So we've got our Sundays covered. When I get up in the morning I go to the bathroom and I always just cleanse my face with a wet cheap wash cloth that as soon as I'm done with that every day except for Tuesday and Thursday. So these are my Tuesday and Thursdays off but every all the days but that I use the Revitalash one pump here but every day I'm still using the Vagamore and I started using that on October 8th 2022 and I don't have any opinion of that but that I do every day. I did the Revitalash on my scalp I did that every day until October 1st and I started leaving out Tuesdays and Thursdays and I can't tell any difference yet. Every time I wash my hair with the exception of the first time I wash my hair in the month all the other days I dermarole and it doesn't even take me a minute and I will probably always dermarole. The first time I wash my hair in the month I use the Color Wild Dreamcoat and I mean I'm not always perfect it might be the second time but I remember I always do it once a month and I don't I probably could dermarole but I just don't want to. I air more on the side of caution than I do anything else and when I do my skincare at night on Monday Wednesdays and Fridays I use the Grande Brow and that keeps me from having to use any brow products to darken my brows and then I and by the way this one just ended not too long ago I opened it January 8th 2022 and I quit using it 10 28 2022 so I think that was a I think it was around 293 days but I only use it three times a week but that's I think that's pretty good for something and I don't forget this but I also use the Grande Lash and I only use it Monday Wednesday and Friday and I'll put the dates that I have one open it's still going because I quit using it for a month. When I can get a good price of something that I really like I get a backup I already have the revitalized backup that the foam for my hair because I got an email it was 30% off somewhere I just look for where it was sold and then and buy it and it has gone up to $149 so I think I paid a little over a hundred but I don't have a discount code it I don't want it an affiliate all I want is a discount code so you all can benefit from it but I've asked the company I've asked where it's sold and they have not gotten back to me I guess I'm not big enough to have that I continue my regular skincare routine mornings and nights and and I'll link that I haven't linked under every video but I'll put a card here and then I will link it because I do the same thing and if I've made any changes I put it in the pinned comment why I do that and I don't want to change anything is because I really want to see if this mask is gonna work this is the Omni Luxe contour face mask I purchased it from the company I do have a discount code started using it May 31st I did some comparisons but I'm not gonna do any more comparisons until in January but that's one reason I haven't been wearing makeup because once I do it in January I can go back on these clips like right now and I can kind of see how it looks but if you have a makeup sometimes it'll kind of hide the valleys and whatever but what I have found out what works for me is when the local news is on I put it on and I put it on Monday through Friday for ten minutes absolutely no problems whatsoever and then I do three extra minutes just on my lips and they have improved and I do use my retinase several hours after I use this I it I think it recommends I read it so many different ways that some people say it's fine some people say it isn't fine I tried it my skin did not react I believe the reason is because it may bring out if you have melasma and what I think is exciting I am 69 and it may take me longer to get good results but I'm gonna get them you know I know that I'm getting them already and I can see it when I look in the mirror and that's what I'm gonna talk about next I put my makeup on with a five times magnification mirror when I sit at the vanity whenever I do my eyes whenever I do anything and I always examine my skin well you know that I have been a huge believer in the floc site 15 times magnification mirror I'm gonna show you a couple of less expensive ones that I think a good option but I want to tell you what I see I try every day to look I used to do morning and night but I just want to see what my skin's doing if it's reacting differently well one day probably about a month ago in the morning I looked at my skin and I saw some lines there but I didn't see them in my five times magnification I saw them in my 15 times and I thought to myself what is different what is different what it what's different today than it was yesterday well the day before Jim had three appointments and I will update you with Jim a little bit later everything's good and I didn't drink the water that my bodies used to drinking well the next day when I looked they were gone and I am so much more than skincare you know I mean that's not what is so important to me but it's so interesting what you can actually do and to me it's encouraging do not have to have any spa treatments or filler or Botox or surgery that there's things that you can do you can we can do at home and this is the mirror that I own that I've had for 15 years and the only place you can buy him now I've that I have found is from Sears what I like about it there's several things I like about it it does have a light right in here I don't want to put it right right there's a light I've tried to put a picture I have it sitting on my vanity and I have it up like this well I'll show you how close I have to get to in order to see my face because you and this would not be good at all to put on makeup that is how close and you just kind of go over area by area if I want to do my eyebrows it's this close and this one sells I think for $59.99 at Sears I don't know how long they'll have it if it's going out of stock or if they're not making them anymore but I paid over 80 for mine and I've had mine for 15 years that because I believe the importance of it and you don't want to be critical of yourself I mean it's nothing to I think if like for teenagers people with I think it would really be hard but you have to realize nobody sees you like you see yourself in these mirrors the first one I bought I like it a couple things I wasn't crazy it does have a suction thing on the bottom which is fine you can put it on a mirror or you can stand it at your or you can stand it at your vanity it has a light around it and it has a place for batteries and it also has its rechargeable well I can't get the rechargeable part to work if I charge it if I put the chart the plug in it'll be bright I don't know if it is something wrong with this but for me I'm fine with that because I don't need the light in fact sometimes the light it makes it harder for me to see what I want to see but with this one I have to get I think probably the same distance but I do it in I'm already in a well-lit room but I think this one was like $23 so that's a lot less expensive you know it'll move around if you had a need to suck to put it on a mirror you could but I would just use it as a handheld or I'd put it on my vanity so I went and looked for another one and not all mirrors are created equal some mirrors I have one mirror in this home that is a true mirror that when you look at it when you look at yourself that's exactly what you look like and it's a large mirror that I bought fit literally 50 years ago it's not a full length but it's very wide and it is when you look at yourself it is exactly what you look like in your clothes I will have people come over just to see how they look and some because sometimes you go to someplace and try it on makes you look heavier anyway but it is a true mirror so not all mirrors are created equal some of them are distorted and I wanted to check these out so I could let you know about it and I know and I know some people that I can give these to you so that's a good thing this is a regular mirror and on the back it's 15 times magnification I think this was around $13 it is a handheld or you can put it down like that but you have to get really close to it just like those to see yourself and to get a clear picture it real it is clear so I wanted to show you some options because if you're serious about skin care you kind of need to see what's going on with your skin when you're using this or not doing this and not doing that and once you've established your routine you can deviate when I when Jim and I used to travel and we will again a lot of times the only skin care I took was my it miracle water sometimes I didn't even take written I mean I took very very little because I knew once I got back and we weren't gone for weeks you know but once I got back I could go right to it and I didn't go right back to it and I didn't see any problems at all doing that but a lot of times people get caught up oh I missed it you know I just might as well forget it well just do it again I have been absolutely all over the place ever since a week before gym surgery I cannot concentrate on anything I've been watching everybody's videos that I normally watch I've been giving a thumbs up I cannot think of a complete sentence I mean it's like unless I'm up super super early and there's no reason other than it's been really over two years that Jim suffered with bad hips it took over a year for him to get his first you know because of things out of our control he got his first hip in April his first his left hip well he has gotten his right hip surgery went well I mean it went well the only problem and it was really a problem Jim wanted to be an outpatient and his doctor told him he said if you meet these three criteria you can go home he met the criteria he had a big hip surgery removal of a hip a new hip we were at the hospital in the hospital for a total of seven hours when we arrived at the hospital I went and got Jim a wheelchair and I took a little tiny suitcase but just because I wanted to put my pillow in it because you never know you know I just anyway and it's something that you can just kind of he could hold on to well I got him in the hospital and I went and I parked and it's a very smooth pavement there is one step going up the pavement and I just instead of turning toward it I just put my foot up on that step and I'm not kidding you I flew not only did I fly I bounced and somebody was walking it not in the hospital at a distance and they said are you okay and I said oh yeah I'm doing fine I was fine but and I didn't hit my head I was so careful about hitting my head that kind of held me back for a few days but I was still able to help Jim the night we got home and you may not be interested in this at all but I'll just tell you the night we got home he had a drain the drain is inserted inside the patient and there's tubing and then there's other tubing that goes into the tubing and then there's we use calm JP drains but and this is basically one but it was round and it was about this thick and I would empty the contents and measure it I did that twice and then you put you've pushed down so it gets a some pressure and then it relieves the blood from your body well about 11 o'clock the night we got home Jim stood up I slept on the couch he slept on the other couch and he said oh my gosh something fell off I'll hit the drain had fallen off anyway I got it taken care of called the doctor the next day I knew what to do which was a good thing but I mean it was stressful it's the whole thing's been really stressful I didn't miss a step taking care of him but it may have taken me a little longer but I am fine I am absolutely fine and Jim is doing so well when physical therapy came to see him the first time they said you're already two weeks ahead of where you were in April so he has two new hips we're looking forward to doing so many things so and the moral of that story is he wished he would have stayed all night and I would have I would have wished the same but we didn't and you can't hindsight is 2020 and if you're still here this is going to be a giveaway and this is going to be my biggest giveaway that I've done and because this is a giveaway I cannot reply to your comments comments but when I'm done with this I'm going to go back to my old video the one I did like two weeks ago and I'm going to continue replying because that's not like me but I just could not hardly I just couldn't hardly do it you just have to be 18 years old or older to be in this giveaway and I close it three days after I posted it because I figured the people that watch me are the ones that'll watch me in the first three days so Wednesday morning I go in and I close I type at the very top this giveaway is closed and if you have any questions about anything I go to an older video go to last week so week before go to one eight years ago and you can ask me whatever it is and and I will get back to you the reason that this is the weather's had several reasons this is a different time of year for a lot of people maybe a hard time may may not be but I am blessed and I had a good October I had three Sundays so I made a little bit more money than I usually do and several people use my links and I never will know who it is but a few of you have told me so I didn't make more money so I'm gonna give away $500 I'm gonna give one person no I'm not I'm gonna give five people $100 either an e-gift card or a deposit in a PayPal account you may not need it but you may know somebody that does and and I really would like to help somebody and another reason it's gonna be $500 is the last video I did and I'm gonna put it up here or my whatever a thumbnail both of the people I just bragged about how everybody always claims their gifts I had two $100 giveaways winners and neither one of them claimed their gifts but if they do I will still I'll still do it I mean I'm not gonna say no you're too late I've never done that but I thought that was interesting so it's gonna be five and I'm excited about that so let me think what I want to see I want there's a word I want you to say in a sentence I want it I'd like a sentence it just kind of stands out and people know that it's a giveaway and I don't ever announce that so what okay I want the word joy in a sentence and something that brings me joy I tell you what brings me joy is hearing children play and laugh and we've got some little children in the neighborhood and it just makes my day it is all good it is so good and with God in my life and it's just really good you all are the best I believe it with all my heart and I will see you in my next video and take care and then the other Sunday the first Sunday now I don't know I am all over the place and mate I've made any change that I put to and I'm not gonna go into all that because I have information on that I was I mean but anyway and and that there's and I can't I have to
