 Good morning. I'm Mary Ellen and today I'm going to share with you some of my favorites Something that was just okay. It served a purpose But I don't know if I would repurchase and I do have some fails this time my very favorite video to film is What I've been enjoying recently and I tell you there's a real good chance if I've enjoyed it in May April whatever I'm still enjoying it and if something turns out that I don't like it like I did I go back to that video And I'll make a notation, but I really haven't had to do that much at all So anyway, I'm going to go ahead and get started I have two lip products and I'm very it was very excited about finding the lip color that I have on today For I don't know how many years before I went cruelty-free Lancome was one of my very favorite brands and they had a shade of lip gloss called Molten and I've kept it for reference all this time and I haven't used this Oh, I know in six years. So when I quit finding them in Dillard's when they didn't have them anymore I looked on eBay. I looked on Amazon and I found a bunch of them on an eBay And what I like about this shade is it is kind of the perfect color that it doesn't matter what you're wearing It always works. So I always would have a molten in my in my purse or in my pocket Well, it's taken six years for me to find this color and it's kind of a brownish burgundy But it doesn't it's not too cool and it's definitely not warm And this is a Milani lipstick in this shade Nylon well, I had last year. I bought when they first came out the Tarte Maracuja Lip gloss whatever I can't remember the name of it But the first shade I bought was mauve and I'll put a picture in here what mauve looks like I absolutely love everything about it. You can tell on the bottom. What color you're looking for it, which I love that I liked it so well. I went back and I bought two more shades The next one is strawberry and I'll put a picture in love it love the way they feel and Can't say enough good things about it. I bought strawberry and raspberry at the same time So I've had these a few months, but I absolutely love them. I don't need a lip liner I it they stay on better than what you expect It really kind of surprised me how long they would stay now this from Milani I've really never put it to the test, but it it has a Decent amount of longevity and it's something that you don't have to put on with the mirror and I like that So those were some of my favorites and that's all the makeup favorites I have my friend Kathy from Kathy's beauty care chats Which is always telling me what she has made in the air fryer And we bought one of those ninja foodie ovens at tiltop I didn't really like air frying in it because you know, I'm a slacker and it was really hard to clean the Little anyway, I use it for other things But I didn't like it for air frying and I asked her what brand she liked and she said Sakura So I went online and looked at the secure website I looked at amazon website and I found it for right about 60 dollars on amazon That was the best price I could find I'm going to hold this up in front of my face because it is large It's the 6.3 quart air fryer, and I just brought this part in So here it is from the side view and I'm going to go ahead and take the basket out It has a little thing you push And your basket comes out and that's how big it is and it has holes on the bottom And air vents on the side And I'm not kidding you I loved it. I loved it so much. I got tired of cleaning it So I went to amazon and I looked for some parchment paper And I found some that I really like the first thing I ordered I got 150 items for I think about 11 dollars I got a hundred of these that fit real nicely in the bottom And I got 50 of these But also they fit very nicely in the bottom and it doesn't leave and my food was excellent I've cooked wings in here. I've done eggs. I've done I've done chicken baked potatoes. I've done quite a bit. But one thing I really noticed I'm not like a big french fry fan. Jim wanted a barbecue from somewhere and it came with fries So I brought those home and I put them in here and I put them on for like three minutes And they just crisp up really nice and they really do well. I like the dominoes gluten-free crust pizza I've warmed it up in here. It may take it takes longer than a microwave But it sure is worth it when you buy something a lot of times you'll get suggestions and they suggested this And this is the largest one and it is the 6.3 Fits right in here and it has little tabs to help it pull up I can fit four good sized wings and then I just after they're cooked I just let them kind of sit for a minute And then I can lift this out with the tabs and I haven't burned myself which is a miracle And I'm just really enjoying it. So I want to thank Kathy for encouraging me to buy this one It is large, but it works the important thing about those paper the parchment paper is You don't want to have you want to have enough food to hold it down because you don't want it to fly up And hit the burner on top the air fryer, but I've been real careful Like I'll put baked potatoes on that little piece of paper And sometimes I mean I'll use them again. I don't like I'm not like super tight at all But I will use them again from time to time A good thing is I got my roots touched up and I got two inches Trimmed from my hair and she really was impressed with how much thicker my hair has gotten And I do still derma roll and I still am using the two products. She said I had very little gray still I'm I get silver right here and right there and a few right there, but I never try to I never cover up on the top and it had been almost four months since I'd had My roots touched up and I used to do both all the time And I dreaded it every time and I thought you know what I'm just not going to do it I'm going to go once every three months and have someone touch up my roots On the revitalized hair enhancer I'm right now at 205 pumps And I have that much left and I will let you know How many pumps are in here because what I'm using now is one pump right here every day And then I'll decide I'm probably going to buy it again because it really has worked And this is the color wow grande hair And it has helped but I don't notice it as much because it's on the side where I don't part my hair But I've had several viewers tell me that they brought this and they really liked it And I've been using this on my part over here since January 1st 2022 and I think I don't know that I've really I may have missed today, but I don't think I've really missed much I think I went back in and did it later because I do that right before I leave the bathroom in the morning I stopped right there and I do my two pumps the two different things I did order and everything I talk about I pay for and I will specifically tell you the only person right now that I'm accepting anything from Is bk beauty because I really liked everything that she's had But I mean I get all the emails from lily silk and I thought well I'm going to order a lily silk pillowcase and just see if it's worth the difference in price It's excellent. It's it is The fabric is very nice zippers nice, but it is not any nicer Than another one I ordered some time ago or any of them. So I You know, I like real silk pillowcases and I have Since before I started watching youtube videos satin pillowcases will help with hair But pillowcases made of real silk. They don't draw anything from your skin or from your hair And I just really like them So I always wondered about the lily silk and I bought one and they're good But not any better than any of the ones I've ever purchased before last month I did find the perfect pair of underwear. I'm not going to show them. I will put a picture in I have ordered several pair, but I've only been wearing three pairs It's because I want to wash and I've been hanging in them to dry I haven't been drying them in the dryer and normally I do I just thought well I'll see if they last any better this way But I'm very pleased with them and that just makes me happy. So therefore it's a beauty item from built bar They are now available in built bars in boxes of 12 at Costco and Sam's I believe they have a they have limited flavors But that way people can buy them, you know off the shelf Which is good if you want to try them and not order them They've come out with new built puff flavors the coconut brownie mud pie And brownie batter I love them all. They're all high in protein kind of 150 160 calories and The carbs are a good amount of carbs for me not too much and and I just really enjoy them I do want to mention something about the delivery when they arrive They arrive in an insulated bag in a box and they're on my front porch I haven't had trouble with melting at all But if you live somewhere where your package is going to be in the sun For quite some time before you can get it. It may not be the best time of year to order I just bring them in the house and I don't even put them in the refrigerator I kind of like them at room temperature But I do keep some in my fridge that I'm kind of like stocked up on them I don't enjoy shopping never have liked it I go to the grocery store get what I need and I've been a catalog shopper Online shopper, but I was looking for something and I had to see him before I could buy him And I went into our family dollar and I'm thrilled to death that I bought 20 Cheap cheap washcloths. I picked up 10 and I I can't remember how much they were They may have been four dollars 10 for four dollars and I got so excited because I saw some 20 for four dollars But for me, I love the coarseness of cheap washcloths That's what I've used all my adult life when I got married I remember people buying like, you know, they do the really nice towels and the hand, you know All that stuff in the washcloths and the first time I used that washcloth. I thought Huh, what's wrong? It didn't feel right So I bought my cheap washcloths and have used them ever since and I've got Jim liking them now too But I got 20 of them and and they last a long time. They didn't have them in solid white, but Multicolored there were some white ones in there. Okay. This is my just okay If you've watched me for a while, you know, I had a burgundy leather chair in here So after Jim's surgery, I decided to move it out and he didn't like the feel of real leather is a little bit hard to get used to I think Because sometimes in the winter it feels a little cold in the summer it makes it feels warm So I ordered this and I'll show you what it looks like. It is a cover for a recliner. It is okay I'm gonna show you what it looks like after he said in it. I would probably I don't know I would probably buy it again. It may work better if it is not leather If the grippers may hold better, but it is serving its purpose. It's making it comfortable for Jim That is my it's just okay, but it does like I said, it does serve a purpose And this is the biggest fail that I have ever had. You may have them. You may like them But I was watching this commercial and they were talking about flavored water And I drink coffee and I drink tap water. I don't buy water. I just don't But it sounded so good and I will link The commercial that made me purchase this And it was just in the first few lines of the commercial and if you don't know how to find anything in the In the show more section if you just look for this video At the at the three minute and 57 mark I will I explain to you how you can look in the show more section using A computer or a mobile device. Well, I couldn't wait to get this. This is hand water I ordered a case of 36 no shipping and handling and I I chose that, you know, you could Do the combination. I got blackberry watermelon and pineapple Every time I mean I will drink them and but it's like one of those things every time I take a sip I'm disappointed because in the commercial they say I can't believe my water tastes fresher than a like a blackberry cobbler The commercial gets kind of gross after that because they lick each other's face Anyway, but I thought oh, I'm gonna order that water and it's going to be so good And I put it in the refrigerator and I drink I drink one a day And jim said he'd help me get rid of him, but I was so disappointed I don't know if you've ever done that before like you think you've got Ice tea in your glass and you take a sip and it's water It's kind of that kind of disappointment every time I take a sip So I won't be buying any more hint water The other fail for me is I believe that it cosmetics Is going to I don't know this for a fact, but I'll tell you why I think I know I don't think they're gonna be making the miracle water The under eye eye cream Or the secret sauce Because it is out of stock on their website And it's going for a high price on ebay and on amazon if you start seeing there's low supply or Of a product that you really like Check ebay and amazon because if it's discontinued it will be very expensive to get I have one backup of my it miracle water and one of my under eye eye cream And i'm gonna be trying some other things i'll be buying them and seeing what I like I'll continue using what I have but I want to know what I want to use when I'm done with it What's interesting about the it miracle water emily noelle 83 is 30 years younger than me She loves it and here I am Almost 69 and I love it and she's 38 39 anyway, but I loved it I haven't been watching a lot of television on my DVR.
