 Celebrating 100,000 subscribers, we're gonna be talking about that today. Also, we're gonna be talking about how to get the most out of Prime Day and five strategic tips that you can use in order to get the best out of Amazon Prime Day that's coming up in just a couple days. Let's talk about all that right now on this video. Hello friends! I am so glad that you're here because you know how excited I have been to hit the 100,000 subscriber mark. I have just tried and tried to do that. I was hoping to do it at the first of the year but here we are about halfway through the year and we did it! I am so happy and so excited and I want to just tell you how much I appreciate you and thank you so much for getting me to this milestone. All of you that have been with me since all the way back the six and a half years that I've been on YouTube. I just thank you so much and what I want to do is I do want to make this a giveaway. It's a huge giveaway actually. The prizes that I have in here, there are a lot of them and I just laid it out here and kind of am going across it so you can see that it is a big giveaway and I wanted to make sure that you knew how much I loved and appreciated you. This is the grand prize that you're looking at right now and it is a lot of stuff. There's also a second prize that you can win. This is a little bit smaller of a haul but there are some really high-end things in here and the reason that I did this second one is I know that so many of you that watch me are very very fair-skinned people so if you are that this is full of very fair-skinned products that I've gotten for myself and usually doubled up on and I wanted to put them in this. I also want to tell you that there are two international giveaways so the first one and the second one those are for my people that are in the United States. Those boxes can go out to you and it doesn't cost me a lot of money and it wouldn't cost an international person money for taxes or anything like that but I'm going to do two international giveaways as well. This is only for my international gals so when you comment down below make sure that you tell me that you're an international gal and tell me where at what country you're from. I would love to hear that. That is so much fun anyway to be able to hear that from all of you so tell me that you're an international gal and the two other giveaways that I'm giving for you gals is that we're going to be doing two gift cards and we'll talk about that once you win you'll be getting the gift cards. They'll be around $50 each in your currency. It won't be in my currency because I want to be able for you to get the full $50 so we'll make sure that we get that all worked out. Something else that has been going on is out of the giveaway winners from the giveaway on the Amazon video that I did last time. There was only one person out of that that claimed their gift so I wanted to pick out more people or other people in order to win the other two gifts that weren't claimed on the videos. So the first person is Jan Redding. Jan if you are watching this I really want you to please contact me and that is through the email that I'm going to be putting right here. Jan's comment will be put here part of it and my email address. Just go ahead and email me. And then the other one that I picked the new winner is Danny Willis. And my email will go right here with her comment as well. So this ends up being quite the giveaway video of all of that stuff. So you're the new winners of those two. Now again if we go a week and the other winners the Jan Redding and Danny Willis have not contacted me. I had to make sure that was their names. If you haven't contacted me we'll go on, we'll pick some more. I will be announcing the huge 100,000 giveaway winners one week from today in my videos. So just keep watching my videos and I'm going to be announcing winners as we go along. I do want to once again please beg you to not fall for anybody that writes you and says that they're me under your comment. The only way that you will ever know that you are a winner is if it comes out of my mouth. So the people that I've just announced your winners nobody else yet. So when we get to the point of actually doing the 100,000 giveaway we will make sure that we do that in a video where I verbally announce the winners. I've said this so many times and I really want you to know this. The way that you enter my giveaway is number one you have to be subscribed and I do check that you are subscribed to my videos. The other way is you have to make a comment. So my international gals tell me where you're from and everybody else that's in the United States just make a comment whatever you want to. But if someone comes after me and they put a comment on there from WhatsApp or Telegram or anything I don't care what it is. If they say that they're me those are scammers and I have said this over and over again and I will continue to put it up on the community tab. Those are scammers. Let's not fall for that. Let's celebrate this and let's have everybody safe. So unless it comes out of my mouth it's not a winner. So don't go there. I have a fan right here and my hair is like little hairs flying all over. It's driving me crazy right now. I always talk about my shirt. This shirt is all kinds of beautiful. I found this shirt because I love off-the-shoulder shirts and again this is I can tell that this is probably a poly blend fabric. It has a kind of a batwing sleeve right here which I think is so cute and then it ties at the tummy and it ties right in the middle. But it goes down over the bum in the back and it's great and I just think that this is so much fun. A lot of you have asked me about my strapless bras that I've been wearing. I only have one. It's not the most comfortable but I always link it right underneath my shirt so you can know that. And I always also link my jewelry. These earrings I felt like they just went so well with my shirt today. They're kind of a gold brushed gold. They have a cubic cerconium up here and then they have beautiful beads down here and they're just a long dangle earring. I really like it and then I also wore a silver bangle today that I'm really in love with and yeah I wanted to show you that. And as always my fingernail polish, all the makeup that I'm wearing, the rings that I have on, all of that is going to be listed and linked down below. So Amazon Prime is coming up tomorrow Tuesday July 12th and Wednesday July 13th those two days. Now I have been putting up on the community tab all kinds of pre-prime day goodies or things that are on a great deal already. I've been doing that on that tab and you guys have been loving that and I will continue to do that and throughout the day on those two days I'm going to definitely be doing that so that you can see the great bargains that are going on. I'm also going to be doing that over on Instagram in my Instagram stories. Here's my Instagram name right here. It's real easy. It's just Mrs. Melissa M1 and so you can go over there and follow me over there if you'd like to and in the stories there will be all kinds of those. The biggest thing is that I am going to have just a list on my Amazon page. Now my Amazon page is linked down below but there'll be one list that will say Prime Day deals on it and that is going to be changing all the time because as the deals come on or as things happen I'm going to be putting that those great deals into my Amazon page and it's so easy to go there and shop and just click. Now there are also lightning deals that happen. What Amazon does is they put up those deals and it's for a certain amount of hours so those will be going up throughout those two days to also on my Amazon page. So check back every I don't know every couple hours it just depends on what you're wanting to do whether or not you shop this sale a lot. So I do have five tips that I'd like to share with you today to help you kind of navigate the whole Prime Day sale thing. First of all the number one is that you do have to be subscribed to Amazon Prime. In order to get all of these Prime deals it's the whole thing about it. So I'll leave a link below as well where you can go and you can subscribe to Prime you can do that through me or you can just go over to amazon.com and do it that way too. The number two tip to get the best out of Prime is to plan your purchases ahead of time. So let's say that there are some things that you really have needed for a long time or you really wanted for a long time write those down on a piece of paper. Maybe it's you want some new towels for your bathroom or maybe some new sheets or maybe you need some new pants for yourself or your hubby needs a new pair of shoes. Anything like that you're planning out your purchases so that even though all these great deals are coming at you you don't necessarily need to buy all of those. Now it's fun. It's absolutely fun. I get all kinds of excited to see all of these great deals and I love to shop for things that I don't necessarily need. But if you plan for your purchases you can do those first and then maybe later on in the day you can look through the deals and say do I really need that? Do I really want that? That kind of thing. So really plan your purchases ahead of time. That does help. And along with that goes my number three tip is make a list and that is the list of must-haves. Now I am in the market right now for one of those robot vacuums because of my health and how bad my back is right now and the pain that I'm experiencing. So I really want one of those vacuums where I don't have to go around pushing a vacuum all the time. So that's what I am in the market for and I am looking for. So I'm excited to be able to buy one during this time because I've planned it out and it is definitely on my list. So that's one of my must-haves and I encourage you to think about what your must-haves are. My number four tip is think about any gifts that you might have coming up. Maybe there's an anniversary or a wedding that you're needing to buy for through the summertime. Definitely think about people that you need to buy for gifts for him, gifts for her, moms, whatever, anything that you need to stock up for. And a lot of people are shopping right now ahead of time for their holiday shopping. And if you are somebody that plans that far ahead, more power to you. But it's a great time to get those gifts. Like I've already bought my granddaughter several gifts just because I wanted to spoil her rotten. And it's a great time to make that list of the people that are coming up that you do need to buy for. And you know think about them and what they might like or what they might need. And my number five tip is shop responsibly. We don't want to go into a lot of debt at this time just because the deals are so good. Now personally I love to shop this time of year so I've saved up some money. I have a budget and that might be something that you want to think about too. Is do you have a budget? Are you shopping responsibly? Is this on your list? I've already kind of talked about putting that list together. That kind of thing. You're really wanting to think about your purchases not just necessarily doing impulse buys which I have a tendency to do. Now the nice thing about Amazon is you can return everything almost. If you get at home and you think this is a terrible impulse buy and you just really don't want that thing that you thought you really had to have. So those are my five tips to shop responsibly during the amazon sale. Do not forget to check out my page. All of that information will be listed and linked down below for you so that you can know all about that. Thank you guys again so much for getting me to this huge milestone onto 200,000 we hope. Love you guys so much. Don't forget to comment. Those other two winners don't forget to email me. Let's have a very safe safe giveaway. Do not answer any of those. I try to get on top of them as quick as I can but there's so many comments on these videos that it's really hard for me to. So just keep that in mind as well. Thank you so much for being with me. Let's have fun Prime Day and I will continue to keep you updated and post it as much as I can. Love you guys. Take care. Come back around in my next video. Bye bye friends.
