 Hi guys, thank you so much for joining me. I know where have I been? I'll tell you I have had Probably gosh, I don't even know how many of you have emailed me because my emails in my description box, of course and asking where I've been what's been happening and I feel like like really awful for not having been able to do a video but a lot Has been happening so I'm going to try to catch you up a little bit in this video Then I have another video that I'm going to talk up get a whole bunch of empties that I want to go through And really talk about so that'll be in a separate video And I have some stuff in this video that I will probably mention that has been sent to me I've got a PR package from from City Beauty and I have been hearing a lot about their New product or newer product. It's the ultra-fil marionette line treatment And I'm a great candidate for that. So that arrived yesterday along with their Beyond mascara I've not tried the mascara, but I did put this on my face this morning the directions say twice a day So I'm not even going to report on it. I know there's been a number of videos. I've Seen not that I've watched them, but I've seen a number of videos Talk about this. So people really seem to like it So I'm optimistic that it might help my marionette line lines And even such you can put them on your nasal lobe o phobia, whatever they are called lines up here But my marionette lines are pretty this one especially on one side. My face is a lot excited It's pretty severe. So I'll be curious to see how it works One use is not going to tell me anything, but they do have all sorts of specials on it if I can find it I'll link it below, but it was there were just a really cool PR package to receive I didn't know I was getting it. So I you know that to me is like awesome When you get something you really hadn't expected to get So I had I've been we have been as you know, my mom had passed away on Easter Sunday, April 9th And we have been working super super hard trying to prepare the home in Salem for sale and In real estate timing is everything, you know, you're either going to grab the market or you're going to miss the market So I was really feeling the pressure of trying to grab the market because I know There's been changes in the market. I've been a real estate agent for 37 years now so I I know that and So, you know preparing the house to sale my mom and dad lived in the home for 60 years and as you can well imagine There there was a lot of Stuff not only in the house, but in the basement in the attic and in the backyard So we've just been we've been busted but and that's what I've been doing I've been coming home on weekends from working down there super exhausted Everyone's been pitching, you know helping out the kids my husband Jay's been doing a ton of stuff my sister her husband Everyone has has been helping to to do it. So we had decided to hold a yard sale and the most amazing thing happened I talked about the yard sale and The day before the yard sale, I got a message from Kathy a Kathy a beauty I think it's beauty and lifestyle right here on YouTube. I'll link her her channel and I thought it was a joke. I thought she was just pulling my leg She says oh she goes is your yard sales yard sales still on because it's gonna rain. I said, yeah Thinking, you know, does she want me to like show her some of the stuff or whatever, you know She was I'm gonna come up and help you. I'm like going what? Because Kathy and I've Kathy and I've tried to meet up a couple of times and haven't really been able to pull it off The last one was when Kala, which I think her channel's name is collar out loud now Used to be real chicks TV. But anyways, Carla had come to Connecticut and We had really tried to coordinate a get-together for me to go down there It's about two and a half hour ride to have gotten to go to go down there It just didn't work out between the house between some health issues I was having it just didn't work out and then prior to that we tried to get together when Gail and Bella From the UK came over and that didn't work out. So it was low and behold She actually Showed up. She drove two and a half hours. She showed up Saturday morning the day of our yard sale She had all of this stuff with her. It was like talk about being prepared She was taught telling me and giving me tips of things I've never even thought of right because I've really not ever done Listen, I don't think I've done a yard sale and probably at least 30 years or something like that You know I've been involved in the yard sale. So she was giving all of these tips and all that up But I'll tell you I'm gonna include this little video clip here that I took that day So you will not believe who popped by Today take a look Kathy a And if you don't follow her on YouTube, you need to yard sale She is absolutely gorgeous, you know, I know that she had done a video She's she had posted a video about the visit to and she spoke super highly of me And I was like dumbfounded when I heard what she how she was describing me and it was so touching But in either case meeting her in real life, you could see her personality in her eyes She has wonderful skin. Her skin is absolutely beautiful She's probably one of those people that her personality Magnetic personality or her charm comes through in real life Super super quick, you know, you can you can just kind of read it right away Anyways, she came up and we just had an awesome visit. She was out in the street with her yard sale sign Flacking people down. It was hysterical my husband Jay still talks about how she did that when she came up It was absolutely hysterical Anyways, Kathy a If you if you don't know her, I'm sure you do check out her channel. She does product reviews She does I think she's gonna do a little bit more lifestyle type videos now But she's also done like deep dives into brands and deep dives into into products So she really tests products The right way in my opinion and she does a lot of investigative type of work on the brand. So I Think I think she yeah, I think she's amazing and I just couldn't believe that she drove two and a half hours to come to New Hampshire To help me with my sale. I was like, oh my gosh. It was like unreal so Anyways, that's that was that Saturday that she came up then the following week after that was Memorial Day weekend Now Jay and I had made reservations last year because in some of the places that we go to you have to make your reservations a Year in advance We had made reservations last year for this year's Memorial Day weekend to go camping in A camp resort called Baileys up by Old Orchard Beach in Maine and I hemmed it hard I debated I didn't know because the house wasn't ready And I when when I knew it wasn't going to be ready for the beginning of May, which would have been optimal That would have been the perfect time Then my next target date was June 1st And then after that I just feel, you know, we're going to be playing catch up to the market, right? And that's not a good place for a seller to be but anyway So we had gotten so much accomplished and then the stuff that was still left to do I figured I could do when we came back and over Memorial Day weekend. My sister was down there I don't know. She's down there every day, but my sister was down there Cleaning preparing getting so much stuff done packing up the final stuff. She did an amazing job and So anyways Jay and I did go away Memorial Day weekend We went to Baileys and it includes some pitches as I'm talking One of the things that we did and I know some of you guys think I'm probably nuts about it, but we We we brought our bikes We have e-bikes and there are those people that feel e-bikes people that ride e-bikes are cheating and that's Completely the opposite of the reality because people most people that ride e-bikes ride them to get a little assist And they're riding a bike Maybe they wouldn't be able to do what they're doing right without it So I look at it as an assist I can get as much assist as I need but I have to be peddling to get any assist So you still have to work and if you keep that on zero or down at one That's only going to kick in when you're struggling to go up a little bit of an incline if you go up to two then of course It's a little bit different, but Anyways, so the very first afternoon when I got there I had worked on Thursday took Friday off I had taken when I got there that afternoon Thursday took the bike we took the bikes off the car rack and As you can see in this picture, I was not dressed the biking no helmet wearing flip-flops Which is not anything anyone should ever do, but I got on my bike Glenda the Good Witch the one that's my bigger bike Glenda and I just rode all around the campground was the first time I'd been on my bike since last fall and It was Awesome. It was awesome when Jay and I went to Florida in January We went in Venice. There's a trail in Venice a bike path and We had rented bikes and did the trail so in January that was I rode a bike But for me on my bike it had been a first time in in a year So we did that I rode all around the campground a couple of times We ended up doing a little bit more one day We went out on the rail trail up there and these are a couple of pitches of the rail trail And you can see it's a little bit more appropriately dressed You know with the helmet on and sneakers or shoes on Because you really need to have stable footwear on when you're riding a bike if you if you're peddling You know you need to have that stable footwear and you should always have something that protects your noggin, right? I mean if you ever take a spill You know especially on hard ground or concrete or something like that You can really really really ruin the rest of your life if you take a spill on a bike or anything really without a helmet so We just it was awesome. The weather was perfect. We rode all around One day we went down into Old Orchard Beach and we went out on the end of the pier Which is a very famous pier in Old Orchard Beach, Maine And we had a rest we had a little restaurant. It's a dive. It doesn't have the best food But you pay in for sitting there being at the end of the pier looking at the the ocean So that's exactly what Jay and I did we sat at that the bar not the bar But it's sort of like a bar, but then it's over the ocean and it's it's where people eat It's not an alcohol bar. It's what people eat so we sat there at that table side bar area and we had oceanfront and We ordered each ordered a drink and we had a lunch and it was just really really awesome We walked all around the amusement parks. We did we did a bunch of stuff and then we came back and The pool was so crowded Memorial Day weekend I think everyone and their mother was up camping the pool was so crowded But we were in the adult pool and even though that was crowded You could get in the water. You could enjoy it. You could it was just really nice. It was really really a nice nice time so It was Memorial Day weekend and I hated to come back to the reality of what we were doing, but we did came back and Finish finish the house, you know finish getting the basement ready I'm gonna link a video if you want to see it There's a video of the I did sort of a walkthrough for somebody that can't see it You know like where you show corners So not a video designed to entice someone to come and buy it But somebody that would be interested so they could really see the corners the cockpit the ceilings and stuff like that So a different type of a video, but I'll link it here or here If anyone wants to go take a look at it. It's on my My real estate YouTube channel So today we're you know got the open house today. I'm hoping that we get some good traffic again the market is is Adjusting you know depending on where you are it's adjusting so but anyways that I thought was was a Happy that we got I hit that June for a state. So keep your fingers crossed the other thing I wanted to tell you is I ended up having My surgery scheduled and some of you have reached out to me. How did it go? Well this coming Thursday? I think it's is it the 8th? It's coming Thursday. I go for my pre-op and they do things a little bit differently They're going to insert a magnetic Guide inside Weird I know and then the following Thursday the 15th is my actual surgery And then I go for my post-op on the 26th, and then if all goes well Jane I was supposed to go to Booth Bay Harbor over 4th of July. So that That's an update on the health issues. It's been pretty well on emotional time for me these last two months So one thing after another it seems like and it just is like no let up on that I Ended up buying this crystal hair remover I thought it'd be perfect for camping right because sometimes when you're camping my shower and my motorhome is small and It's it's I sometimes will take a little bit of water and I'll go sit outside and shave my legs So I wanted to try this because this is that crystal that you kind of rub So I used it I used it the first time I used it I said what is this? I thought it was a waste of money. I said this isn't working I could still feel hair ease on my leg and I thought it said something about You know don't use it. It says don't use it hard too hard. It's recommended usage is Every two to three weeks. I cannot go two to three weeks Maybe another brand. Yes, but not this one. I can't go two to three weeks. I've been using it once a week And I like how when I use it, right you rub it. It doesn't hurt at all I like how my legs feel really super soft afterwards, but there's no way I'm getting two to three weeks between shaves or between rubs Whatever you call them right between rubs So I'm still going to use this mainly in the RV because I think that's where it's really going to make the biggest Impact so I went to Trader Joe's to Trader Joe's has the super goop doop Sunblock that I always look for while I couldn't get any there's none to be found But I did try their coconut body body butter This is luxurious body butter made with coconut oil Shea butter and vitamin E. Now, if you don't like coconut, you might not like this. I don't know Very mild coconutty smell not strong nothing. I love this I think this is an awesome body cream I bought this to to keep in the motor home and I thought yeah No, I brought it in the house when we came back because I loved it so much So I have it by my bedside. I'll do my feet my hands whatever I do Whatever, but I'm really digging this. I think this is super affordable and getting Trader Joe's coconut Another another flavor as well, but this is the one that I liked I didn't have my super goop doop, but I bought it other spray Sun Sun spray, which is in the motor home. So I can't show it to you, but I really like this a lot I think this is really cool. I did get in the mail the I'm on auto delivery for my Petite and pretty mascara, and I'm also on auto delivery delivery for my deep cleansing oil This is the DHC deep cleansing oil. I really really like this deep cleansing oil I have I'm on auto delivery. I get this like every two months, which is the perfect amount of time for me I have one in the motor home one in my shower one in the bathroom And what I do is I do my first cleanse with this and then that just kind of gets off all the makeup My mascara So my battery died anyways the the DHC cleansing oil and in my empties I have another cleansing oil I've been using so that you can I think my camera's crooked. I won't it's okay That'll be in my empties video, but anyways, I just keep going back to this and it's on auto delivery I really really like this so far the best out of all the cleansing oils that I've used and because I have dry skin I really like using a cleansing oil and even though it's a cleansing oil. It's not oily I put it on I rub it. I you know massage near my my lashes or whatever all over my face trying to loosen up my My makeup and then when I add water it kind of like doesn't really foam up, but it gets milky and Then when I rinse it off my my skin feels just really smooth. It does not feel Oily whatsoever, and I usually follow up and I just finished my I'll show you I just finished the classic face cleanser. I Really really love Peaches skin care when it comes to their cleansers. I love this I have to order another one I thought I had ordered it and I didn't and I probably didn't because I still have their perfecting polish So anyways, I ran out of the cleanser I love peaches skin here at that cleanser, and I love the perfecting polish Actually just leaves your skin so nice and smooth, and I also use their flawless their flawless Exfoliator so from peaches those are the three products that I really love I also use their vinegar toner. That's in the motor home. So anyway, so that I really like Really really like using and I also ordered some This is the nail files the glass nail files. I have ordered these before I Really prefer to have glass nail files rather than the emery boards or anything of that nature I think the glass nail files. I can't open this one up. I should have opened it up The box is taped the glass nail files are just so much better I do feel though after a while they kind of get dull at least mine do so I ordered another set of these I have them all over the place. I have one of them in one of the files in Jay's car one in my car one in the motor home Couple in my pocketbook. I've won it my desk have them all over the place So I ordered that so I haven't really gone crazy spending at all I've got some Different things that I want to get Many of you probably know Mary glitzy fritzy. I want to try her palette She's done a collaboration with that Sydney Grace and I'd love to try that palette. I haven't ordered it yet But it's on my wanting to do list. I keep trying to convince myself. I really do need another palette I really do So but because I never think of it and people always ask I don't really go crazy with my eye makeup I don't I'm not that I'm not that good at applying it. I'm way better than I used to be but today on my eyes This is a palette I bought quite a while ago This is a busy art and this is the violet Nintendo violet palette Yeah, and this is I've had this for quite a while and this is everything that I have on today I've used this corner here this one on the bottom. It's upside down But this one on the bottom here is what I use for my all-around base Then in my for the crease in the middle here of the darker and then I did a little bit of the purplish one over it and then some of the trust some of the gloss kind of a simple look With my eyes today. I mean I tend to to keep it really simple. So that's about it Yeah, I think that's about it at this point in time Keep us, you know keep keep us in your thoughts as far as being able to sell the home today Like I said is that open house and I'm hoping we get some good traffic and that we get some decent offers would be nice and Tonight we're going out with friends.
