 Good morning, I'm Mary Ellen and today I'm going to do my what made me happy in September Really, I can't really say favorites or fails I didn't buy very much, but there were some things that really really made me happy that I enjoyed and a few things I purchased but be right back Okay, I'm gonna do something before I even go on I can see that my face is really shining and I did put on the dermatology Tinted moisturizer, but I want to show you something that I have used Oh, I know for seven years. I have a new one I mean, I haven't used the same one, but it's a mallee. It used to be called Poorless face defender and Darlene one of my viewers told me about it And I'm gonna show you how it works because I'm gonna see I see a lot of stuff that I shouldn't be seeing a lot of Shine so and it is a sunny beautiful day here, but if you just put it on a sponge and Touch all the areas that are shining Especially that forehead But that really does tone down the shine and it works for a lot You can just use it without any foundation and I haven't used any powder or liquid foundation in a long time And I'm kind of looking forward to doing that But I didn't want to do it today because I wanted to film in my pajamas and I'm gonna after I get done here I'm gonna go take a bath and Jim and I are gonna go out to eat. That's what we're gonna do today Anytime I think about things that make me happy I like to talk about them and one of the things that made me happy is I cleaned out my underwear drawer my specifically I'm gonna call them underpants and What I did I have like tin pair that I Love and I was just rotating between those tin all the time And I had a big full drawer of underwear and then I have a stash in my dressing room that I take When we travel and I put them in I wear them and put them in a little like a dollar tree bag and throw them away So I have plenty of those because we haven't traveled for a while But what I did was I wore every pair and decided if I wanted to keep them or throw them away And I only had one pair I wanted to throw away and so in my underwear drawer There are only ten pair well No, there's 12 pair of panties and then I have my others stashed in another area Because you never know when you're gonna need them Jim said you've got backups for your backups for your backups And I really do but that really has made me happy and I'm gonna do my bra drawer next I haven't started on it, but I'm just gonna put them on make sure they're comfortable wear them all day Decide if you want to get rid of them or if I want to wear them the other thing we have been dealing with construction Right in front of our house and down the main thoroughfare behind us since I think this they started June 1st and It is almost over almost over we in our little town like a block Usually consists of two homes facing here, you know two homes on the other side two homes and two homes And then there's an alley between well I couldn't get out the alley that I always like to go to the main street So I got to do it yesterday for the first time and they're cleaning up around here But it's been a very long project and I am so happy that it's just about over You know, I've talked about for the last few years anything that makes my life just a little bit easier I'm gonna try and I was watching a video by my friend Melissa 55 And I have met Melissa in person and she is every bit as beautiful As she appears on her video. She is her skin is just gorgeous and she's gorgeous on her channel She showed this and this is a little vacuum and it's made for like keyboards and different things like that and you can push it back And then you just have like a slant if you didn't need to get something up and it's rechargeable Which I love rechargeable And then you empty it and it has a teeny tiny little Filter it has one in here and you have three more. I tell you what I've loved this for Okay, I have the attachments for my vacuum to do the things I'm going to tell you about But when I see it, I want to do it now. I don't want to haul out my vacuum I've got it in a closet and get out the attachments Or like fans like those tower fans and my dehumidifier You have to keep those clean and this has been wonderful before I put my fans up I cleaned them all got all the grooves It really does a good job of getting that out and also like if you have event That you want to grab real quick before going out to get your vacuum cleaner and doing that I really like it. I've used it for you can use it for wet, but I haven't used it for wet But I have some in my furniture. I have some like indentations. It's perfect for that I think this I spent maybe like 22 23 dollars And I really like it. I do and it's not loud But you can hear it's powerful enough So thank you, Melissa. I got a great idea from you I just have the charger and the additional bags in a little container And then I haven't had to recharge it and believe me. I've used it a lot I have I have a blow dryer that I don't use a lot that you know, you need to keep that airflow clean I did it and it just really nice. Well in June my daughter and her husband Started demolishing their kitchen and one bedroom downstairs And they were getting a whole new kitchen a lot larger than what they had and she loves to entertain He loves to entertain. They have a busy household. Well, anyway, I had told her I said when you pack your things up Only keep what you love because I went to buy you new pots and pans new dishes new silverware New glasses and I had so much fun doing that I would find something and I'd make a link I learned how to link on my phone and I'd send it to her and see what she thought of it and And so she kind of knew what it was going to be But I had boxes here and and I love doing it They finally got in in like the second week of September and she's got more space and she knows what to do with But she has one of those great big kitchen sinks. I've never wanted one But I've got the double sink one of the things I bought her I had to buy myself because I really liked it even though she has a dishwasher She needed a rack to put her dishes that's like a pot or something like that Something that you weren't gonna throw in the dishwasher And so I looked those up on amazon and I found this and I bought one for myself I bought one for her and I bought one for myself You can cut this. This is silicone. You can cut it to fit I'll put a picture of it in here But I really love it. It rolls right up And what I did I put it on the other side of my You know, I have a side that I wash dishes in And I don't like to keep I don't like those things to go on your sink and you dry your dishes I used to put mine on a towel Well, now I just put this over it and and I just put it under the sink and use it whenever I need it So if I wouldn't have been looking for my daughter some things I wouldn't have found it and I am filming in my pajamas today This is the first time I've gotten to wear long sleeved pajamas and these are some of my favorites And I'm I'm looking forward to the day I can get my real wintery ones out But I think it's been over six months since I filmed in my pajamas I learned so much from you all you give me so many good suggestions I never thought to look on ebay for the rattan Paper plate holders or any kind of a holder And I did and I found some good ones and I'll link the video where I showed you my other ones They were a big fail. I guess that was last month, but they're good ones and they're they're called their vintage And several of you said you didn't know you can wash them Well, what I do is I just run them under hot water if there's a spot I don't saturate them if there's a spot. I'll spray it with like bleach water And then I just lay it flat to dry or turn it upside down to dry You don't have to do that very often, but you know when you go to the garden and you pick Vegetables you always have to wash your basket if Israel rattan you can wash them But I do not saturate them But I was really happy to get these and and I appreciate your suggestions It's been over four months since I've had my roots Touched up and my haircut this side. I'm going to spit in something I'm going to try to film it and show you like this side. I don't have to do anything I mean I have my hair down usually and I don't have to do anything and on my scalp I'm on top of my head. I don't have to do anything But it's really silver right here and this is what I use and it's color. Wow, and I have had these I'm going to look it up and I'll put it in the text up here. I think I've had these for six years I like to put the blonde on first to kind of take the white out of my Hair and then I like to I have light a blonde and I have light brown And then I put the light brown over it. It doesn't stain my scalp And I've tried all the sprays. I I've got a drawer full of things to touch up for yourself Now there is a good little mascara that works too But what I like about these they are permanent until you wash your hair again So I wash my hair wait three or four days and wash it again And it'll stay on and I really do like that I have never needed to purchase them again if I had to do my whole head It would be too expensive But for the area that I need to do and back in the day I I used to it seems like I had more gray hair I don't know but I used to Do it right through here I placed in order to dermatology and I bought the physical tinted moisturizer spf 44 and I had been using The dermatology universal tinted moisture spf 46. This has both physical and Chemical sunscreen. Well, I like it really well and I thought I'm going to try this one This is what I was wearing before I used my malli on my face to get the shine It does leave a big shine But I do like it and it has no oil in it and it stays put and it moisturizes my skin That's what I think I like the best I'm still kind of going into a little bit dry I've always been normal and I think this winter maybe when my skin gets more dry I'm going to make sure I use this every morning and I'm considering putting one on at night too Every night, but I don't know. We'll see. I'm a slacker. You know that I have a discount link and code down below But if you just go to their website, they usually offer some sort of a percentage off minus 20% off and and I that's how I buy mine It was probably last year when I ordered a couple of Eyeshadow sticks from Lara Geller My ones I had from cover girl had dried out and I wanted to try Lara Geller So I'm and I bought these. I really like them They're they're called eyeliners, but I use them as eye shadow and this is one of the shades I think this is amethyst. So that's amethyst and petal pink I don't think you'll be able to see the petal pink, but it looks nice on the eyelid Well at the Nordstrom sale the only thing I bought was some Charlotte Tilbury cream shadows stick shadows And I was really disappointed. I'll show them to you the colors were great I'll swatch them and there's the shades right next to it. You can't see the lighter color They work really really well Had I known you needed to sharpen these I wouldn't have purchased them because I don't like to sharpen cream like this But I tell you what there is hardly any product in these So this was a much better deal I think these were marked to begin with $58 and I think I paid 35 for them And these were 22 apiece and I paid 16 for them each So that was 32 versus 35 and I bet you I have three times more and I like them equally as well So that's something new in makeup as I'm filming this I haven't received any notifications that any new built bars were coming out But I anticipate they'll have something pumpkin and that's probably I won't be buying it My favorites right now are the chocolate brownie chunk puff bar And then I like the dream sickle. I wish the dream sickle would have had white chocolate This one's my sister's favorite, but I just love the the puffs. They they serve me well and except for what I'm going to tell you next I was reading something in the newspaper and it talked about viral Cinnamon rolls and it was tick tock So I looked online and put viral tick tock cinnamon rolls This is a fail because it was so delicious I'll put a link to a video of the one that I used I just bought five of the One pack of the big grand Cinnamon rolls and you pour like a half a cup of heavy cream and that alone I'm sure is delicious, but I went one step more I put like a half a stick of butter some Brown sugar and quite a bit of cinnamon Insert that off and poured that over And I baked them. Oh and then they had icing. That's why I don't keep sweets That's why I rely on built bars because they were delicious. I'm glad I only made five I'll tell you that right now and I was really glad Jim liked them because what would I've done Well, I would have had to give him a way or dog on it I would have had to eat them or freeze it one of my fails is something I never dreamt that I would think about this as a fail for years YouTube showed thumbs down They still show thumbs up all the time and then they would show the number of thumbs down you'd get and it'd be on your screen Well, I never changed anything once I started my channel. I didn't ever hide anything. I didn't it's just there to see Well, I always I can see if I get a thumbs down But it doesn't bother me if I do or not But when you're looking for something technical or you're wanting instructions those thumbs down were really helpful They really were because like I could find what I was needing And look and then I'd click on one and I think they don't even know what they're talking about So those were real clickbaity titles and they didn't give me the information I needed because that's the way I would know if Somebody provided good information or not. I don't see any reason why I will not have a video up in two weeks But the next in two weeks when I put up my next video, which is I think the last Sunday of October Jim will have will have already had his hip done And I will have had my hair colored Probably I will have been able to wear some warm winter pajamas because it'll be colder by then And I will be 69 and I'm so thankful I am so thankful I've known too many people in my life that would give anything To be 69 and I hope Jim feels like the bionic man when he has both of his hips replaced And if you're still here, this is going to be a giveaway And you know, I love to do giveaways and I always give a percentage of what I make on youtube as a giveaway So sometimes it's more sometimes it's less It depends on how many people watch my videos to tell you the truth So this time there's only going to be two winners and they're going to be for a hundred dollars a piece And it can be an e-gift card or a paypal deposit Those are my only two things I'm going to do. Okay. Let me think in in a sentence below Oh, I want you to use the word autumn I'll write it up here and I want you to use it in a sentence And you can tell me something you like about it or just use it in a sentence anyway Anyway, you want to but the only thing you have to be is be 18 years older or older And leave a sentence below And you know the next time I upload a video I will announce the winners and it is all good as long as I've got God. It is all good Uh, thank you so much for being here. I will see you in my next video and take care Poorless face stepping it used to be called Melly's everclear faceless And I'm going to do my broar And but these will from what and I don't go if I And I don't it doesn't so um
