 Good morning, I'm Mary Ellen from the channel Mary Ellen after 60 and today I am going to just share with you some things I enjoyed during the month of May and I also went to announce the winners. I have 11 of them From my last video. It was my skincare video The first thing that comes to mind in May is I got to spend Mother's Day with both of my children and some of my grandchildren and it was just it was absolutely wonderful. I kind of feel like a fraud on Mother's Day I don't know if any anybody else out there does because all my life Mother's Day was about my mother So every year, I mean I miss her every single day She died in 2010 and I miss her every single day But I think Mother's Day should be about my mom and it's really funny when it's when it's about me And I know this has probably happened to a lot of you But that was my very first thing that I thought of when I thought of things I enjoyed in May Another thing I really enjoyed my grandson who's a senior in high school graduated and my bonus grandson Graduated from eighth grade and I'm going to put a picture of both of them in here and the tall one is the one that's a senior and The one that isn't as tall is the one that is going to be a freshman in high school And we had to get together And had just such a good time and they're both just really really special young men and I love them with all my heart We had really nice cool weather until just about the 20th of May So I did get to wear my winter pajamas Quite a bit longer this year than I usually do So now it's going to be my lightweight pajamas and well All I can say is I look forward to wearing them again When autumn arrives something that I was There was something I was really proud of in May And you all may have seen it you may not have but it was my yearly skincare update video You have no idea how hard it was for me to edit that and I'm not a technical person but Anytime I put Footage or photos or well the worst part for me was I did the demonstration And I talked behind the demonstration if that makes any sense because you know when you're demonstrating how you're doing something It's hard to talk and explain it. So that was a real challenge And I was very happy That I finally got it up and you can see why I don't ever film in my bathroom No matter what time of day the lighting is horrible That's all windows all the way across and it's just it's hard to do and I'm working on The video that will come up next I hope if my fingers are crossed and that is just the extra things I do the derma rolling things things that I do Not every day that I may do once a week or just a couple of times a week So I'll have that challenge again, but I now that I know I made it through the first one It may not be as hard, but it is it's a challenge for me every time I upload a video to my iMovie Editor it's where you cut and spice and sometimes I put my anyway. I don't know about that I had quite a few questions when I put up the video and I'll put a picture of my me and my wig And I'll link the video below about how comfortable this wig is Well, I'm going to link some channels below that can tell you everything you need to know about wigs if you're interested The first person that I ever heard speak about wigs that I can remember was junebug 1029 I think her name's jone. I'll link her below The next person I remember talking about wigs was monica And uh, I'll link monica's channel below And then marlene she has just strictly a wig channel and then she has a beauty channel too And then babs and she's from the channel Take control beauty. I believe that I'm going to link those all below and And just put wigs videos So anyway, I'm going to show you the inside of the cap and the longest I've worn it so far Is six hours and it was extremely comfortable. I couldn't believe it, but it's not hot yet, but Quite a few years ago. I had a cap that was made very similarly on the inside See, I can stick my finger through any of these holes. You have to poke the hair back. So that is not hot This is different than I used to this is a monofilament And what that means I can part it different ways and this is a lace front Once I've worn it longer and if you're really interested about the heat if you have to wear a wig all the time It may be a lot different than somebody that just has to wear it occasionally or choose us to wear it occasionally But I really have enjoyed this and this was one of my favorites and I bought this From wig studio one when they had a sale so another thing that Was good in may is on may 19th That was my seven year anniversary that I uploaded my very first youtube video And I'll put the number up here somewhere. I can't remember how many videos I have up on youtube now And it's just hard to believe that seven years later. I am still here and I'm still making videos and I I plan on continuing as long as you all are watching and seem to enjoy. I'm going to keep making videos I haven't purchased much lately. I have not been really interested in buying anything But there were a few things I bought and I bought them because of somebody And the first thing I purchased was jessica simpson fancy Francis from happiness sparkle anytime I mentioned somebody I'm going to put their link below But she bought this and she loved it and I have worn it several times and I really like it. It Is a little bit sweet. I'm not even going to try to describe any notes because I don't know I just know if I like it or not And I know if Jim likes it or not and this passed the gem test and it passed my test and it was very affordable I like all kinds of clones. I like opium the original opium oil is my very very favorite And I like just the opium spray and the body creams. I like black opium I like c by I think oscar de la renta. I'm not sure who that's by and I like Dillon blue. I think that's by dolce and gabbana I just like several cents and and they're all different So I was happy Francis mentioned this and now I have a new centaur and I've ordered something else And we'll see if next time if I have it in my favorites if I don't have it in my favorites. Well That means I've given it to somebody. I am so glad I write down who I hear something from If a youtuber talks about a product and I think I may be interested I have a place on my computer that I you know things I'm interested in Well, I love love love The so de Janeiro brazilian strizing shower gel. It's a moisturizing shower cream gel and I love it I love the scent I like the way it makes my body feel but this is very expensive. I think it's like For the 33 ounce one. I think it's 49 dollars Which is very expensive and I've I don't buy this for myself But I have received it as gifts and my family know that they know that I really like it and they know I think it's special and I also like the boom boom cream I still do not use some people have been asking what I use for my body I don't use any lotion on my body. It has not become dry yet And when it does I I'll use something that I just don't like the feel of it But I the boom boom cream I will put on the inside of my arms Just to smell it. It smells really good and it's made by so de Janeiro Well, when laura ray mentioned she found something that smelled Very similar to the boom boom cream. It was it's the ogx Ultra moisture extra creamy coconut miracle oil body wash And it is excellent. It smells very very similar This smells has a little bit more coconut And the other has a little bit more to me. It smells a little bit more caramely, but For this is 699 For 19 and a half ounces. This is 36 cents an ounce and the so de Janeiro I think was a dollar 43 per ounce So I mean almost five times cheaper This is and it's really nice and my body doesn't get dry at all either with either one of them So thank you laura ray for mentioning it because I really do like it Now this may be a little bit too much information, but I'm going to go ahead and share it with you I always keep a box of matches in a drawer right in my bathroom and this After someone uses a bathroom it does deodorize your bathroom And I always kept a small little thing of matches in my purse Because it does the same it will deodorize it. Well a few years ago, you know when we were traveling If you lit a match in a bathroom Oh my gosh, people would think you were smoking and I don't smoke. I used to but but I quit seven years ago So I ordered to have in my purse. I've had to just Before you go poopery And it's a nice little size and I don't think I've ever had to use it But I always keep it in my purse And in the bathroom, I bought some of the poopery before you go spray and it's four ounces And I don't remember how much this is. I'll link it below if you're curious So I was watching my friend Elle is for living. So in her empty, she'd always have some glade cashmere woods Deodorizer and she said you just put one spray in the toilet Use the bathroom and the scent is gone And for 97 cents, that is true. Don't have to worry about matches Don't more have to worry about a match breaking off And I know this is aerosol and I know you can use Essential oils. Jim is more likely to spray one spray in the toilet Than to try to put a drop or two of essential oil And I don't really have many essential oils Anyway, but I was really happy to have this and I will be a repeat purchaser And I got it for 97 cents From walmart and I don't and for my friends on here who also enjoy the built bars I'm sure these are not available to order anymore But you know how I am I I want to tell you about it because they may come out with them again And I love the built bars. They work so well in my life And they come out with new flavors and and new products And I think they wait and see what sticks and then they offer them again They had something called sweet fire and I just had to get them and I saved one So I could show it to you and I can't wait to eat it. This is the size of the bar They're a pretty good size bar And I cut it open and I hope you can see there's little tiny pieces of jalapeña I love it. I love sweet and spicy And the inside is super chewy. So if you don't like something that's chewy, it's like a thick dense caramel But it has I think this had 140 calories I think about 17 grams of protein and it has four net carbs And that's what I I count the net carbs because I subtract Sugar alcohol and I think the sugar alcohol that's in here is erythritol. I'm not positive I'll put it up here if it's not but it does not trigger an uncomfortable stomach If I if I eat a whole one on an even on an empty stomach, it wouldn't so that's why I like it And the other thing once spring and summer are here I I need more protein because I've drawn to Certain vegetables a lot of vegetables a certain fruit and I'm just not as I don't crave meat as much So I can get 17 grams in this one bar and I really like it not too long ago They came out with a it was a white chocolate birthday cake one And I wasn't tempted to try that one I I have enough and I do keep my extras in the freezer But and they had a sale on mist sized built bars Whether they were too large or too small and if you bought one You got a box free. I paid $30 and 29 cents For 18 no for 36 bars. I bought two boxes And I bought the cookies and cream And so I've already stuck those in the freezer But that means it's 84 cents a bar Which I think is for me. That's a bargain because I like but if you all have some protein bars That you like Let me know because I'm open to try anything I'll tell you what used to really really work for me that I loved And it was by south beach and it was a cinnamon Raisin bar and it had quite a bit of fiber Quite a bit of protein And it wasn't real low in carbs But it was I could eat it and it didn't trigger cravings and they quit making those But I used to any time I'd find them I'd buy a bunch of them And that would be a perfect snack for me through today sometimes a meal replacement And I usually had them in my purse. So if I ever got stuck someplace I always had something and didn't have to get you know, like fast food And before I announce the winners, I'm just going to share with you a couple of things I've been enjoying on television. I got the discovery plus app And what I'll do is I'll try an app and I'll like I I had HBO max for a while and I you know kind of put it to sleep Didn't don't subscribe to it and I got discovery plus And I found a show that I used to watch that I loved and it's called rehab addict And the woman's name is Nicole Curtis and she lives up in Minneapolis and in Detroit, Michigan But what she does if you don't know about what she does she buys homes a lot of homes that are Well, she bought one house from the one house for a dollar. That's the one I just watched From it was going to be condemned and just how talented she is and what she does what I really really like about it Is she tries to restore it to how it was when it was built? And you know, I live in a home that was built in 1891 So I really try to keep things as true, you know, I have paisley wallpaper You know, that's what they would have had back in the day and I just try to keep it as True to the period as possible. So I really enjoy that. I always love it when the voice is on I love to watch the singers improve. I think it's exciting I especially like it when I know the song when I don't know the song I don't like it as well and something that's on a history channel that I absolutely you'll be able to tell I'm really kind of a nerd. I am But there was a series that was on last year and it was just called food that built america And now this year they've had the foods that built america It was the first episode I watched it was so fascinating It was like right around 1870 when people were starting to move from the country to the cities And the meat supply wasn't great and a lot of times they sold Kind of tainted beef. It didn't it just just didn't taste good And this guy named Heinz was his last name He made a sauce that covered that flavor and I always wondered how condiments came into being But what they needed was something that they couldn't taste the flavor of the meat But anyway, it talks about all his competition how It just was fascinating to me all of the innovation that It was they did was amazing and I think Heinz was the first person to Put something in a clear bottle So, I mean it was and this is before they had electricity and in the show somebody gets electricity But they have all kinds jim has watched a few with me. We watched the one that White castle and nathan's hot dogs But anyway, it's something I enjoy and I just thought I'd share it with you and one of these days I might share some others Some time ago, I told you about how my mind is not the cleanest mind in the world And I kind of know why and I had some of my friends that went to the catholic school with me Were in agreement. They felt like they probably we were just so sheltered We were so sheltered in the catholic school But in the back of the church, they always had a bulletin They rated the shows according to what was acceptable and what wasn't acceptable And so the first thing I do was go down to see what was condemned And I almost made a mental note that when I grew up That I was going to watch that movie, but my mom would be there and she'd be writing them down So none of the I mean the condemned movies weren't like x rated They were just things that the catholic church didn't want us to watch and sometimes some of them I watched later I thought wonder why that was condemned anyway So now I would like to announce the 11 winners of my Skincare video.
