 Good morning, I'm Mary Ellen from the channel Mary Ellen after 60 and today is my 599th video that I have uploaded to YouTube and Out of the 599 videos I have filmed. I've only removed two So they are all up there and there's a lot that I would like to take down that I haven't Today I was prepared to do an empties video Water in my empties, but you know what? I just didn't feel like it So I just thought I would come here and just talk with you Today is Monday, September the 7th, and I'm still reading and enjoying your comments from yesterday's video I'm writing down every suggestion you gave me for a can opener And then I'm gonna do some research and then buy one, but I'm not kidding you. I had so many great Recommendations and I appreciate that and then on Wednesday of this week I will close that giveaway and then I will add the winners to the end of this video You know when I am filming a video. I think everybody knows what I'm talking about and The screw on the ice I got to read a comment. I got it just I loved it But it but it taught me something important I should never assume that you know what I'm talking about But I'm gonna read the comment and then I'll talk about the screw on the ice cube And I'm not gonna mention who wrote this, but I loved it I was telling my hubby about the screw in the ice trick I said she puts a screw in water freezes it and if it floats the power went off My honey my hubby gives me a blank stare and says oh, honey Screws don't float. She puts it on top of the frozen ice cube and yes, that's what I do I used to live in the country our power would go off a lot of times when we weren't home And I just found if you put something on top and it can be anything it can be One of my viewers mentioned she does it with a Dixie cup if you just put a Screw on an already frozen ice cube or little Dixie cup if your power goes off The screw will sink so and if it's gone down very far if your power has been off for quite a while I Am not active at all on Facebook Nor on Instagram and I have to tell you Somebody again took the few photos I have on Instagram and they started an Instagram account and Instead of like Mary Ellen after 60 they added another a Some of you got notifications to follow me and what happens? It's somebody wanting to send information of a Political or a scamming nature? so if you ever get and I don't even know what the right terminology is. That's how little I am on Instagram But if you get for they did it to Natalie the beauty diva they did it to miss Cavalier or one Colleen they'll change something on there and use their pictures So just make sure when somebody wants you to follow them that you make sure that it is the correct name It's not really there. They take your photos and Use them as theirs and you all think it's me and it's not I don't even I seldom put anything on Instagram I barely have time to keep up with YouTube and YouTube is the social media outlet that I have chosen to use So in the future if you see Something from anybody and it's not really that person if you look at the name of the there I don't know if it's called a channel or a handle or whatever if it's not the same Report them and I want to thank all of you who reported that and I haven't checked today to see if it's disappeared or not As I film this I don't even know if I'm going to be able to upload it. I Use a MacBook Pro. I've had one for over five years and What I do is I film using my older Phone the one that I don't use to talk with and then I just upload it to YouTube and then I edit it and then I put it out Well, it's not accepting. I have filmed a video before and it was a black You know what I mean, and I'm the most technical person I know personally especially when it comes to Matt, but so I'm having some struggles so I had to change the resolution on my Bone that I film with so I don't know what this is going to look like So I think I need to take a little break and do some research And I just need to figure out a few things. I still have a lot of videos that I want to film I'm wanting to film Kind of the changes I've made in my skincare and basically it's the same thing, but I've taken a few things away I definitely want to do my vintage quilts. I All those kind of things like taking photos anytime I put something in my videos Whether it's like an overlay or like half-and-half or something in the corner It's not easy for me. None of this is easy for me The easiest thing probably is just sitting down here and talking with you So I think I'm going to take a little bit of a break Maybe just upload twice a month if I have something that I'm excited about I'll do it more often than that There's so many other things I need to do around the house and I know I spend Well over 40 hours a week on YouTube. I'm going to still watch everybody that I usually watch I just may not leave a comment Every once in a while you sometimes just need to remove yourself from the situation Take a few breaths and then come back Something I wanted to mention Timeless has changed the discount code and what happened was People were using my 25% off and making large orders and and reselling it For that person to make a profit So what it is now it is $5 off an order So like when I need new whatever I'm out of like right now I'm stocked up on everything and I try to hit the sales once a year to get stocked up But sometimes I don't Well instead of ordering a few things like if there's something that is $24 and 95 cents I'll just order the one thing and then if I need something in a couple weeks. I'll order another item So I just thought I'd give you a heads up on that and I think the order has to be 1495 or over I'll put it in my show more section But I've done some calculation and sometimes it's a better deal than the 25% off and sometimes it's not but I always buy Whatever at the best price I can and I do buy all my own skincare products I've said in many of my videos. I am not here to sell you anything I am not an infomercial if I find something I like I want to talk to you about it I want to provide links if I can find them and I try to film videos that I enjoy watching I tell you what I enjoy. I love Amazon favorites But I wish there was another place like Amazon that they're not making all the money You know, I mean Amazon has boomed and thrived and if anybody knows of another place where you have the same variety I'm going to still order from Amazon. I'm Amazon Prime. I've been pleased with everything But I think it would be a wonderful opportunity for another company to come up with something similar So I love to watch Amazon favorites. I love to watch anything that is someone's favorite I'll tell you nothing will make me click off a video any quicker than drama and Me feeling like I'm being sold something I don't like it and I don't ever want you to think that I'm trying to sell you anything because I'm not I do know several of you have ordered the belch bars and Just because I like them and think they're delicious doesn't mean that you are going to but if you did order them Please let me know what you think about them and what your favorite flavor is my new favorite is the cookies and cream and it has a hundred and thirty calories seventeen grams of protein and Low sugar, but one something I wanted to mention there were a couple things I wanted to mention This came I placed I've placed two orders and I just put them in the refrigerator or freezer I still have one about every other day and the funny thing is like when I love something I love something and Jim has eaten some of them and I'll say what do you think he'll he'll say pretty good pretty good Well to Jim pretty good pretty good means it's really good. Well, you know with everything Positive usually there's something that isn't as good. Well, I want to share something with you about the belt bars If it is warm weather You cannot just throw this in the purse because it is like a candy bar consistency, you know, like I've had Kind bars or different kind of protein bars that I could just drop in my purse This would melt and it would get squashed But in the box this came with it and it has it's really kind of cute It has two things that you can freeze and then you can put your bar and you can carry it with you And I don't know that I would ever do that But I did freeze them and I did put a bar in there and it stayed cold for six hours So I'm thinking they're putting one of these in every order, but I am interested in your thoughts about that I do like to let you know how things work because Getting the best deal possible on anything and I mean and you can use this with anything The last order I placed for built bars I had received an email that they were 22% off. They were selling their birthday Anybody that has purchased built bars will probably get the same emails because they have sales every once in a while Well, the day I place the order I checked I looked to see what rebates was paying on Cashback what Mr.. Rebates and what be frugal was paying. Well be frugal had 15% I bought 18 bars three six packs of different flavors So with my 22% discount and the 15% Be frugal money, I will get back my bars average costing a dollar 45 But I tell you what all those cash back places and those are the only three that I use You can really end up saving some money and you know, I'm about I'm all about saving money And I will tell you this is as good as it has been getting as far as makeup I always put on lip gloss if I'm leaving to go someplace I take a washcloth and I will wash it off and put my mask on but like today I have on absolutely no foundation and Mascara navy eyeliner in my upper waterline, and you know what I'm getting used to it. I am and I put makeup on for me and Sometimes I'll put on eyeshadow But I can't believe at almost 67 That I don't feel uncomfortable going places without any makeup on my face and I don't I Really enjoyed reading your comments and hearing what you enjoyed during the month of August I know some of you had some hard times and hopefully We are through that and just wishing you the best for this month I did receive 62 suggestions for can openers and my number one was the OXO good grip 35 people recommended that and the next one was pampered chef and Eight people recommended that so I went ahead and I ordered the good grips the OXO good grips and we'll just see how it does I'm still having a lot of trouble and having to upload this on my.
