 Hey guys, I thought I would share with you some of my favorites. Now, I don't often do monthly favorites. Sometimes I miss a month. I think the last monthly favorites I did might have been. I'd have to go look at it. It could have been June. I don't think it was July, but it could have been. But anyway, so I always kind of feel like, well, if I have some favorites, then that's great. But if I don't have any favorites, what am I gonna talk about? So anyways, I do have some favorites. And I always like, you know, sometimes people say, oh, you're still using this, you're still using that. And so I kind of forget sometimes to talk about the favorites that I just use over and over and over again. Like, yes, the Great Lakes Collagen. We buy this in the big five pound bag and just transfer it into this canister. But the Great Lakes Collagen, this is the Hydro Slade Collagen Joint Care. I've been using this for years since I think the beginning of 2016. There's many different variations of collagen, powdered collagen that you can find. I recommend that you decide what's best for you or what you want to do. But Jay and I use this collagen twice a day. I put two tablespoons or two scoops that are in there in my coffee every morning to stop my day. And then in the evening or in the late afternoon, I added again to a cold drink or a warm drink or a cup of tea or anything, if I'm going to have a smoothie or if I'm going to have my yogurt. So it really all depends. But very, very consistent with taking a collagen supplement. I think it has helped tremendously. Jay swears by it. He will not go without it. He's an avid golfer, as you know. He swears by it. He loves it. So that's a long-term favorite. It continues to be a favorite. We use it all the time. So when I'm looking at some of the products that I've gotten in July and in August and actually before and the products that I continue to use, what if I really loved? So a couple of things that I've really loved. And I've mentioned this company before. This is Adorei. They have sent me a cream, a CBD cream, which I've talked about. I will link it below. If you choose to purchase it, you can get 10% off. I do have an affiliate code that means to get a couple of cents when you buy through me. And I think that's great. But the CBD cream, and I don't have it here because I have the foot cream to show you instead. But the CBD cream has done things like when I've had a poison ivy and it's gotten rid of the itch and then really healed the redness. And it has removed a burn mark pretty, pretty quick. And I'm really happy with the results of that cream. I like it for aches and pains. And I'm also starting to use it for a little bit like almost like a moisturizer, too, as well. So I'm enjoying that cream a lot and make sure I link it. That continues to be a favorite. And other favorite of mine, this is fairly new. And this is by the same company. She had sent me this baby foot and oh my gosh, I'm going to talk about this in my empties a little bit more. But I will tell you, this was amazing in conjunction with her. Oh, yes, this is the soft, sexy sensual foot cream. Oh, yes, this is by Yadori. And the way I use this was after I get the baby foot, which by the way, I will continue to do after I finish peeling on my baby foot product. I put these on and I absolutely love it. It has like a minty, it has like a really a minty smell. But the more importantly, you put it on your feet, your feet are just amazing, amazing. If you have dry feet and you want to condition your feet, you use anything like the baby foot, you use that cream afterwards. Holy cow, is it gorgeous, gorgeous. And so on the vein of CBD, I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time talking about this, but I have been using the Magoo, the M-A-K-U. I also have a link for this below. I believe this coupon code for anyone that is interested in that, if you want to purchase it. I have the 5000 milligram bottle. I've talked about that. You can see it's more than halfway done. I use it, Jay uses it. I use it at night on my face. And Jay uses it as more of a sleep aid type of a thing. But I really like this. This does come in many different sizes. The 5000 milligrams is the most expensive, but you can get 1000 milligrams. This does have a heavy, I'm going to just call it a woodsy smell. I don't really know how to describe this smell, but it does have a very heavy, heavy odor, which is probably why the 5000 milligrams, I don't know if the 1000 milligram would be different or not, but it does have a heavy smell. This is a full-spectrum oil and 5000 milligrams. And I love this. I absolutely love this. I use this at night. I put my retina on afterwards. It is amazing, amazing. I also have, this is the flora and bass age adapting facial serum by flora and bass. This is the serum that you can buy, so buy it directly from the website. So flora and bass, this is a pricey number. It doesn't have as much CBD as the other, the Makoo does. This is quite, I think it's about 300 or 320 milligrams, but no matter. It is a beautiful, beautiful complex and the oils and the combination of everything on the face. I use this every morning. I love this. I bought this and you can see it's almost empty. I have another bottle coming. It's probably going to be here by the time this film, by the time this video gets published that I ordered from Sephora. I absolutely love that. And this was the one that Marlene Fab and Glam talked about initially and I got on the bandwagon and Sheila got on the bandwagon and a few other content creators and some of you have gotten on the bandwagon and you all really are loving this product. So I'm really super pleased with it. So it continues to be a favorite. The other things that I don't talk about as much anymore, but are definitely my favorites and I, of all the other serums that I used to use, I think I said when I went on the CBD that I wasn't going to be reordering them, but my timeless. This is for me and I know everyone's skin is different, but this is the only vitamin C for me that I can use in the morning, which is my preference to use my vitamin C in the morning without it affecting my makeup. So I've tried Matt Hippie. I've tried a number of other vitamin C's and they just make my foundation gum up like bubble gum, day old bubble gum or something, just like sticky icky icky icky and they don't like that. But my timeless seems to me knock on wood so far for me. This works really well. It doesn't have, I don't have that effect on my skin for foundation. I usually put this on and then I'm still using the Metrixl 3000. I'm not too sure if I'm going to reorder the Metrixl 3000. I think I am because these two in conjunction with my CBD oil are what I, is basically what I do in the morning. That's my morning skincare, my morning, sorry. I'm trying to reach over to my desk. That's my morning skincare routine. It's what I really, really like. The other thing that is a favorite and I can't show you because I don't have it on my toes right now. I absolutely love this color. This is called Give Me A Break. Give Me A Break and this is, is it Orlé, O-R-L-Y, breathable and this is just a nail polish. Now I like the purple. I like the pinks. I like the darker colors. Not on my nails, but on my toes. So this is like, this is awesome sauce. I really, really like this color. I don't know where I got this to be honest with you. It could very well have been TJ Maxx or it could have been Ulta or something of that nature. But I really, really do like that a lot and continues to be a favorite. This was sent to me for a review. I reviewed it quite a while. This is the Amore Pacific. I am always on the go. I work full time. Sometimes I work 50 or 60 hours a week depending on what's going on in my life. But when I work full time on a normal routine, I teach. I might drive to a different class location. I might have an hour drive. I might have less. It all really depends. But I'm in front of people a lot and I'm going in and out of buildings. I'm teaching, presenting and talking to people. So during the day, you know, I'm all about the sunblock. I don't know if you guys can see this little spot that I have here. My niece is a nurse practitioner and she said to me, Auntie Monica, you need to go have that taken care of. You need to go have that looked at. So I'm making an appointment this week. This has not healed. It's been like this for months. And yeah, I'm having it taken care of. Anyways, I digress. So this is more Pacific and I've got a few other cushion foundations and things of that nature with the 50 SPF. But this is the one I've been using the longest. So I'm going to just mention this one. I have this in the color medium pink. This is my touch up during the day. And I've talked about this in other videos continues to be a favorite. I have the refill. I probably next summer, unless something else comes along, I have enough to get me through to the fall through a couple of trips that we're taking. I'm going to be taking a trip in November away, taking a trip in September and then I have a trip in March. So I've got a couple. I will have enough of this to get me through with the refill to get me through until at least next summer. And I think at that point in time, that is going to be something that I am going to order. So other monthly favorites. And I mentioned this, I think in a few other in another video, but I went to the, we have a outlets near us. And so I went to the outlets in the Merrimack outlet and I go into the cosmetic company store and go to a number of other stores. I wish they had wig outlets there, but they don't, but they don't, you know, there's no workshops near me. But anyways, so I went into the, into the bare mineral store and I bought and I talked about this. I bought my Estee Lauder in the color that I wear in a cushion foundation. This is a serum foundation. I love this because my lifestyle is such that I'm always on the go. I'm running around. I'm doing this. I'm going here. You do want to touch up. So even if I don't want to touch up with a sunblock necessarily, but I want to make sure my foundation is nice. And you know, when I look halfway decent, this has been perfect. I don't have to worry about spilling. It's perfect. This can replace the bottle for me, especially when I travel. I love this. And I got such a great deal on this because at the outlet store, it's pretty cheap. I also bought, and I called this the stick and it really, I mean, I don't really know that this is the stick, but this is the same thing, but you kind of prime it and the foundation pops up in the middle and you get a sponge. This is the Estee Lauder and it is the same color that I take. This is actually called Double Wear Nude Cushion Stick Radiant Makeup. Now this, they said to me, this is the formula of this is lighter than your Estee Lauder Double Wear, which it is, I'm sure. But this is a perfect companion piece. Again, if you like me on the run, on the go, and you want to do a touch up, I love this. I bought this. I don't know when did I buy this? Months ago. I've been using it. So it isn't a monthly favorite in the sense because I've been using it. But two other things, a couple of other things. My Blink Eyelash Thumb continues to be a favorite. I continue to use this probably about four nights a week. I not too long ago had to trim a couple of errant lashes. So I really like this. Yes, to some people, there is, there can be a reaction. I've never had that. I've been really, really fortunate with this. I love this. Eyelash Thumb continues to be on my favorite list that I use all the time. I really love it. A new lipstick. I don't know how new it is for me. I fell in love with the pinks and one of the pinks that I really like is the, and this is the Blushing Pout. It's a matte lipstick. It just is really pretty on me This is Maybelline. I really like it a lot. It's matte. I have it on now. It's my kind of a color. I don't know if you can see it. Let me see if I can. It's my kind of a color. I think I was able to see that. I really like this a lot. I just think it's really super pretty. So this is like a favorite. I've been into the pinks. I've been trying a lot of the different pink shades. Bucks Thumb continues to be a favorite. I absolutely love the white Russian. However, I've worn many of their other shades. The Pink Cadillac. There's a few other ones that I really, really like. I love my, my, I think out of all the lip glosses and I have Lancome, City Lips. I have a ton, a ton, a ton of lip glosses. I have Drugstore lip glosses and the, and Hard Candy comes really close to this. Hard Candy lip gloss. This is my favorite lip gloss. It is. I just absolutely love the Bucks Thumb lip glosses and you can also buy these in the Bare Mineral Outlet Store. Cheaper than in the, you know, in any other store. So that's a really, a good buy. Another favorite that I really am loving. I don't know if any of you have tried any of the, this is the NYX Makeup Pencil. This is a matte lip liner, lip liner and it is called Sweet Tooth. You can see Sweet Tooth. Let me see if I can, let me see the line. Sweet Tooth the next two, the lipstick. Anyways, I like this a lot. Now no lipstick stays on my lips. I don't care. It does not stay. I take, I drink coffee. I, you know, it comes off. I, lip liners, nothing really lasts long term on my lips at all. But I love those shades and I've been using the definitely monthly favorites. And this elf little palette, I think is the nuts. This is, I will tell you, this stuff is very, very concentrated. When I say that, I mean that you have to be super, super careful how much you put on. So this is their corrector, their color correctors. What I like about this is normally I use the peach, sometimes they use the green, sometimes they use the yellow. And I have normally I use the essence tubes. So I get to carry three tubes. But I like that this is in a compact like this. And these are creams, these are not powders. When I first looked at them, I said, oh, I'll put a powder onto my, these are creams. And they come on super, super strong, super heavy. So you just need a tiny little dab. A little dab will do you. They come on just like that. It's like, it's like amazing. So I am really enjoying that. That's definitely been a monthly favorite. And yeah, that's the body work. So, you know, they have some amazing sales on hand. So I haven't bought a lot of the candles, but they also have some amazing candles. But I love the hand soaps. And I like the, I like the foaming soaps. I don't like the soap soap, but the foaming foaming soaps. So honey suckle. I mean, they had the sale and I think it was like they had, you could buy six for, I don't know, it was like $18 or something like that. I mean, dirt cheap. So I got six of them. And you know, cut Christmas time, I stock up on these. This one is really nice. This is afternoon apple painting. Oh my gosh, it smells so nice. But I stock up on these. These make great stocking stuffers or, you know, if you have kids in school, kids, you know, to gifts of the teachers, stuff like that. This is for the kitchen. So I have some of these in the motor home. I have in the bathroom, I have in my house kitchen. This one smells nice, white tea and sage. All of them smell nice. So I got like six of them. I always watch the sales. You know, we have, I mean, I'm sure you probably have the same thing, but we have bath and body works in our local malls and really all over the place. So, you know, whenever there's a sale, if I'm running low, I try to grab them. You can't beat the price. And these are really, really nice hand soaps. So I think that's it for my favorites on my head. I should say on my head is my Raquel Welch. This is editor's pick in the color shaded cappuccino. This was sent to me quite a while ago from wigs.com. I love it. I have a coupon code if you're interested in purchasing a wig or hair accessory. They have wigs.com has some really, really nice stuff. I bought a ponytail there. I got my some of my hair clips through wigs.com. They have some really, really super nice products. And Raquel Welch is just the quality of her wigs, the monofilament and the part. Everything looks so nice. I love how she does the frosting. The frosting. How she does the frosting look, you know, as far as the lighter look around your face and all that. I just love the way Raquel Welch does her wigs. And Jon Renau. I have got a Jon Renau. I've got a few wigs. I've got Henry Margot. I've got a few different wigs. I'm going to be doing a wig review on a topper that I got as well. But anyways, this is Raquel Welch. And this is editor's pick in the color shaded cappuccino. I love this hair accessory. And my earrings because I always forget to say my earrings are probably earrings that I picked up either in the late 60s or early 70s. These are vintage. I don't know where I got them, but they are very, very old. And there's a lot of fond memories with these earrings. They were my childhood, my teenage earrings. So that's it. I keep looking in the mirror over here. That's it for me, guys. Thank you all so much for watching the video and joining me today. And I will see you in my next video. Bye, guys.
