 Hey guys! March has not been a great month has it? It's actually been a crappy month. And I thought about how am I going to do March Favorites? And I said, I don't want to do March Favorites. If there's nothing about March that's good and happening in the world or in my life, then I said, oh pull your big girl panties on and think about all the things you can be thankful for and that you've enjoyed in the month of March. And so if you're interested in that, stay tuned. So hey guys, thank you so much for staying with me. March has been a difficult month. Actually, for many people March and April and some people the end of February has really been a difficult month with this coronavirus that has impacted us all. I am fortunate and blessed in many ways that everyone, my immediate family, I know I've said this before, my immediate family, my mom and dad who are 91 and 92 and my dad is not in good health that they are healthy. And I'm so thankful. I'm so thankful that I am still employed. Real estate has been considered an essential business in New Hampshire but as most of you know I spend the majority of my working time training, training agents, teaching agents. So some of those classes I do remotely. Some of them we've had to postpone but all in all I'm extremely blessed and I know it and I know there are many of you out there that might not be in the same circumstances. And so my heart breaks for us all. I do know however in my heart that I think when we come through this as people we will be better because I think all of us are going to be able to understand how important it is to appreciate each other, to be kind to each other, to help each other. I think all of that, that new level of appreciation is going to impact all of us when we come out of this and we start to live our new normal life which will be for some of us very different. So I stopped, I said what in March have I liked? What has been my favorites? And I said well there's a couple of things. So I'm going to share a couple of those things with you and this is the hand soaps from Bath and Body Works. I picked up right before the holidays when they go on sale. I think I picked up 20 of these. I might have picked up 25 because the price was extremely cheap and I thought well you know what, around the holidays they're perfect stocking stuffers and I thought also that I could give them as little gifts depending on the fragrance or the flavors or whatever I bought as little gifts throughout the year. I didn't know that I was going to be giving these for a different reason in the month of March. I am so thankful. Yes they're not disinfective but yes you all know that washing your hands is just as good in many cases as taking a disinfective but anyways. So I've gifted these to many people and I think out of my original stack, I thought the other day I had eight left, out of my original stack I have four left. So I'm so thankful that I bought these hand soaps. I love these hand soaps. These are the foaming ones. They're my preference. I normally put them in my motorhome in my camper. I have them in the house. I've given some to my mom. I've given some to friends that needed it and I love these foaming hand soaps. Definitely a favorite and it's a lesson learned for me. Also a lesson learned for my husband because Jay will often say what do you need to get another bag of this or another bag of that? You have some at home and I'm like well I want a backup. So Jay and I shop at Sam's Club and for example, sometime I think early February when we did a big Sam's Club run we bought the big multiple pack of Clorox wipes. We bought a big thing of toilet paper. We bought the paper towels. You know a bunch of different things. I bought a big jug of Clorox bleach even though I had a half a jug at home. So Jay and I always go through this. He goes hey you don't need it. I'm going hey listen I want it. I'm thankful that Jay will never say hey you don't need it when I want to buy a backup of something. These learned his lesson. He told me yes. So I'm thankful that I have done that. That I have shopped as a backup and I have picked up enough of these to share with people that really needed it. The other thing that I've taken advantage of since I'm homebound and a lot of times when I'm teaching I'm using an application called Zoom and the camera is on my upper body and I'm positioned such that no one's going to see what I have on my lower body and they're not going to see that below the waist. I'm in my jammies or whatever right. They're just seeing me with my makeup on my hair fixed or whatever and filming and teaching. So one of the things that I did and I've already talked about this. I did the foot exfoliation but I wanted to tell you that in March and into April this is when this really kicked in and started to peel and if you've ever done a foot exfoliation you know you can't pull the skin. I know it sounds gross but you know you can't pull the skin off at all. So you have to let it go through its course of time. So I've been wearing socks. I've been putting different creams on but I'm so glad I did it because I'm homebound and so right now my feet are looking really good because I'm still homebound but it took a good two to two and a half weeks for me to go through this phase and I still have a little bit of peels happening but really not bad. So I'm thankful I ordered this. I think I got it on Amazon. Thankful that I actually did it although there was a period of time when I looked down at my feet and they they looked like alligator feet that were going to fall off. I said wow if I get sick now and I have to go to the hospital they're going to wonder what that happened to her feet. Frivolous. Very frivolous but I did wonder that. This is very affordable. There's many other I think foot exfoliation products that you can get. This is just the one that I happened to have that I bought from Amazon and that I've used and now I'm done with my peeling phase and I really love it. The other thing that definitely has been a huge favorite has been my root touch-ups. So I have magic root cover up from L'Oreal and I'm sure there's many others and you guys have heard me talk about this. I think I did a rooted wig with this. This is really really good. So on my own hair I have gray and this covers the gray up super and then I have the fill-in powder which I've also talked about in the previous video so I'm not going to really go in on it but these, I think the wow, the fill-in powder, the root cover-up has definitely, I never expected that I would need it the way I need it obviously but I am thankful and they have definitely because I've used them every day that I haven't put a wig on my head. I've used them every day in the month of March. Also in March my favorites are going to be my wigs. I'm going to close some pictures here. I have many wigs. Some of them I've bought. Some of them were sent to me for review. I have Raquel Welch. I have John Reneau. I have Bell Trust which is what I'm wearing right now. This wig was actually sent to me complimentary from Wigs Studio One for review and I have reviewed it. The only thing that I did different because this wig has a very dramatic long root and it probably doesn't, I mean you can see the root now but I think it's a little lighter. It's because I sprayed it with dry shampoo and I put it the Brilliant Blonde which gave me a little bit of more blonde fibers in my dark-rooted wig which is more my comfort zone, you know, my comfort zone. I don't want to have the gray roots showing but when I plop a wig on and this one, this is the Bell Trust wig and this, this is actually the color in Sugar Cookie with Hazelnut. This is actually very light fibers, very light density, very comfortable on, very casual, relaxed and then when I decided to spray the roots with this to lighten them up a tad bit, yeah, this has become one of my favorites in the month of match along with all my other wigs because I've been wearing different wigs, different pony tails, different looks throughout the entire month of match. The next thing I want to talk about is my CBD. So I pulled my nails off and try as I might. I didn't want to damage them, I damaged them. So one thing that I discovered and this, this is the Makoo and this is the 2500 milligrams full spectrum, I just want to make sure I'm reading it right, full spectrum. So what I've been doing because my nails, you know, when you have, my nails have been covered with a powder dip for, I don't know, maybe four years. So Jay and I argue about using this but I take a tiny bit and I rub it into my nail beds and just like it makes a zip go away for me, just like it does amazing things for my skin at times when I'm using it depending on what's going on, it's also really helped my nail beds. Who knew, right? I didn't know. You know, I'd recommend that you use a whole lot of it because you need to be very careful. You can actually take it and break it down with any kind of another oil. I do have another bottle of it. Originally this was sent to me from Makoo in exchange for a review. I do have a coupon code. I have purchased their products. They have recently sent me a other one which is the same as this one. So I'm super thrilled and I can honestly tell you, those of you that have been watching me for a while, you know that I love that. I use it as a face oil. Jay uses it as a pain. Sometimes like if you get really anxious or stressed or whatever, even me, I'll take a drop of that. It'll calm you right down. So you can use it for many, many different things and Jay uses it more for internal and I use it for external. I love my CBD oil. I also love my Realm CBD Royal Lawn. Now this one that I'm using, Jay has the other one that he uses on pain. We've talked about that. This is the one that I use. It's called Kong and you can imagine this point in time. I need this. I have this by my bed and normally before I go to bed, I just rub it along my temple. Is it doing anything? I think it is. Again, that was initially sent to me. I have purchased. I've gotten more sent to me. I have a coupon code. I have filled out their affiliate paperwork. So if you do buy from my code, I do earn a small commission but I love the product. So be up to you whether you choose to use my code or not, entirely up to you. The other thing that was recently sent to me and I love tea. Do you guys love tea? I love tea and so this tea, naturally caffeine free passion fruit. I'm going to put this up so you can see it. This is sent to me. This is actually sent to me for review and it says sweet mangoes, passion fruit, flower blossoms, the South African herbal tea and envelopes all the magic and wonder of the African summer. I'm telling you, loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, more than green tea, caffeine free naturally. It's perfect to drink even before bed. I love it. This is actually from a company and I'm going to tell you, I've opened this because I've used this one. I get another one. It looks like it's like a cone shaped little tea bag and you seep it in hot water and I know you all know but you pour the hot water directly over the sachet, the tea bag itself. You let it seep for five to seven minutes and then when it's all done, when it's all seeping, done seeping, it's really good. The first sip of tea.com and this is a woman owned independent company and I know they have online ordering. I'm going to link all their information below. They sent me a bunch of things and this is the tea that I opened so far. I have another box, this one I am using and I will tell you that in the month of March and in the month of April, I have enjoyed this tea tremendously. I drink like chamomile tea. I love this. I love the smell. I love the flavor. I just I love everything about this so check it out on the on the web and you know and if you decided something you're interested in, I'm not an affiliate member. I don't have a coupon code for you but I'll link all the information and if you if you like it go for it. You go for it. So the other thing I'm thankful for is my stack of face masks. I'm not going to bring them all out. I have, because I've had so much time, this happens to be my my hydra mask but because I've had so much time in the morning, I don't have to get dressed and leave the house and drive for half hour. I'm usually on at starting work before work. You can even start basically but I have had more time to indulge in taking care of myself than ever before. I can do a face mask. I go get up in the morning. I take care of all my skincare stuff and then I get under my red light therapy. You know and then sometimes I'll do a face mask and it all really depends. If it's a day that I'm on camera doing a zoom class then I'm you know a lot of times I'll leave my skin naked till like midday but if obviously if I'm doing a class I put some makeup on but very minimal. But I have been enjoying treating myself, indulging myself, whether it's my foot mask, whether it's my tea or my wigs and everything in between. I have found some things in March that I can talk about that I really enjoy but again that most important thing in March and favorites in March is that when I came home from convention in Nashville on March 11th, I immediately put myself in self-isolation with Jay. I did not have anything to do with my parents except from a distance because in case where I was with 7,000 people, in case there was an issue in infection, I didn't want to bring anything home. So 14 days of self-isolation has turned into a lot longer but aside from all that I have a new appreciation of all the things we took for granted every single day. So I'm really thankful for the health of my family, for the love of my family and the support of my family and for all of you in my life, all of you. You've all been tremendous. So I have found something in March to share, to be grateful for. So I hope you all stay healthy and I know and I should have said right away, I hope you all had a great Easter. My Easter was completely different. It was very low-key, phone call, FaceTime and that's about it. But yeah, Easter is in your heart anyways. So that's how I look at it. So thanks so much guys for watching. I'll see you later. Bye-bye.
