 Hey guys, thank you for joining me. I am going to share with you a empties video. Now I haven't done an empties in a while, a real empties. And so sometimes I get like frustrated with my empties because I, you know, I'm like thinking, I don't want to have this hanging around and I end up trashing stuff. And then I go afterwards, oh I should have talked about it in an empties video. So I'm gonna share with you some things that I've been using that, and just sort of like a mini little chitchatty stuff about things like that. So if you're curious about some of my empties and what you've been liking and just hanging out with me for a while, stay tuned. Oh my goodness. So first of all, I get so many of you that ask about collagen. And I have been using a collagen supplement as has Jay. I don't even know how long now. I want to say maybe since 2016 or something like that. And we have been using actually the same brand. So, and I'm not against trying another brand. I think if a company reaches out to me and they want me to try another collagen, I might entertain it. But I see no reason for me to change brands if I'm happy with a brand. So we've been using Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydro Slate Collagen Grass-Fed, Pasture Raised, Unflavored Collagen. This is an eight pound bag. So we bought two of these when they were on sale at the beginning of the year. I think Jay said January, something like that. And because it was on sale, it was cheaper. We just figured we'd buy two because we knew it would last us a long time. And it's an eight pound bag. So we've gone through one whole bag and we are, you know, I don't know, maybe half of another, you know, we still have plenty left. So we are supposed to take two tablespoons twice a day. Most of the time we do two tablespoons once a day. However, I want to get back into my twice a day routine. I sort of fell off the twice a day. I religiously take it every morning as does Jay. It has made a huge difference in him for his bones and how he feels and for me for my skin. I can't say that I've noticed any kind of, you know, improvement in the, you know, the wrinkles or anything, but maybe that has helped over course of time too. I don't know, but it helps with the dryness of my skin. I used to have elbows, right? I mean, I still have elbows, but I used to have elbows that were chafed and chaffed and awful. And when I started to use this a few months into it, that was the first thing I noticed is that my elbows were no longer dry and chafed and cha, you know, and just irritated like that. So I ran out of this. I usually have a little container, a little can and I used it up and I threw that can away because it had been, you know, through the run through the mill. So now we use sort of like a canister like you might hold sugar or flour in to put our collagen in. But I wanted to mention it because I haven't shown it in a while. I'm still using it. We just buy directly from Great Lakes and we buy the eight pound bag and we both really, really like it. So why change, right? Why change? Next is my poo poo, my poo spray. And I think there's probably many different brands of poo poo spray, but this is, I just really like this. Before you go, they have different aromas or whatever and none of them are bad. None of them, they're all good aromas. But basically you use a poo poo spray. I call it a poo poo spray. And you spray your toilet bowl and if you have to go it, it, you know, contains some of the smell. So I love this stuff. I usually buy it in a multi-pack. I have one in my laptop bag because I travel for work. I shouldn't say travel, travel, but I go from one office to another office and I might take my laptop obviously with me and my bag with me. So I really like this in case I have to go into the restroom and any of our offices. I just feel so much more comfortable. I have one at home. I have one in my motor home, my RV bathroom. So if anyone needs to, especially in the RV bathroom, right? I mean, you're really small, really small size. So I love this stuff. This has been a repeat purchase. I have another unopened bottle and then I'm gonna order it again. I just get mine off of Amazon. So my poo puree or a poo poo spray, as I call it, before you go, the flavor I really like or the smell that I really like is the citrus one. For some reason, when I smell citrusy, it reminds me of spring and summer and clean and stuff like that. So I prefer that over some of the other, over some of the other sprays. Next, I'm going to talk to you about setting sprays. I have a few different setting sprays that I have used and there's two that I'm out of. I will purchase both of these again. One is the NYX, the Dewey Finish. This is the setting spray that I probably use the most and have purchased the most. I use this in my travel bag. I have one in my motor home. I have one in my bathroom. And I like the Dewey Finish because I have pretty well dry skin. So I really like that deweyness. That's my setting spray that I use mostly. And I also have, this is the second time I bought this. This is the Morphe Continuous Setting Mist. I really like this a lot. Surprised how much I like this a lot. I have a smaller one that I have in my travel bag and then I have this larger one for in the house and I have another one that I had in the motor home. So when it's RVing season, I usually buy doubles and I have a product in the motor home and product in the house. So I don't have to pack back and forth and like stuff out. But I really like this. This is really, really good. I am using a setting spray that I really haven't, it's a MAC setting spray and I really haven't used it enough to really talk about it but everyone loves it and so far it's really good. But I will tell you for the price point NYX is awesome for me. I have used the Urban Decay. Is it the All Nighter? I never really saw the difference between the Urban Decay as far as how long things would last than the NYX and Dollar for Dollar. The NYX is a heck of a lot better price point. So both those setting sprays work for me. Love them both and finally finish them. Next up is, and this is something that was actually sent to me from I believe Octoly. I don't know how long ago but it is the Ritual of Karma and I have the hand cream left and it was sort of like a gift pack that they sent to me and I reviewed it and this is the Body Wash. OMG, I love the Body Wash. The Body Wash is awesome. And then the Sugar Scrub. This Sugar Scrub is probably my favorite Sugar Scrub that I've had in a long time and I use the Sugar Scrub. The label came off because it's in my shower, right? And so there's no label on here but it is part of the set that I got. And I love the Sugar Scrub. I use it on my body when I'm in the shower. It is amazing stuff and also the Body Wash is amazing. Now, I love them. If you're gonna try them, let me know how you like them. They're pricey and I probably, unless it's on sale or there's a really good offer, I probably just wouldn't go out and buy it because you can get many different types of Sugar Scrubs. It depends on what you really like. So next up is, and this happens to be my conditioner because I ran out of my conditioner before my shampoo this time around. I think I actually talked about the shampoo in a previous video. But this is Color Lover by Frams or Framsie, Framzel or whatever. I don't know how to pronounce it. I bought this, gosh, I really don't know how long I've had this. This is Volume Boost Conditioner. I also use the Volume Boost and it's Color Lover. So if you dye your hair, if you color your hair, it's not supposed to be harmful or fading the colors, et cetera. So I get this from my hairdresser. I also have it on Amazon and I have bought it on Amazon. It depends on whether it's, what is cheaper. Now I'll tell you truthfully, I usually buy the bigger one and it can last me two years. Really, I use that little of it and it lasts me two years. Now in between times, I am trying out different shampoos sometimes that they're sent to me or whatever, but I always go back to my Color Lovers. I love my Color Lover. I love how the Volume Boost works, especially for the conditioner because I have thinning hair and I love how the shampoo works. So I always go back to this. So it's empty, it is a repurchase. I highly recommend it. Probably thinking, okay, she's talking shampoo but she has a wig on. Well, I do. So I wear a wig, especially when I'm filming and I do a lot of wig reviews and some of you like the wig reviews, some of you don't like the wig reviews. But I do wear a lot of wigs and when you have thinning hair and sometimes you're on camera, you look at your hair and you go, oh, it looks awful and it's so much easier just putting a wig on. I struggle with the wig looks because sometimes for me I have way more volume on top than I do on my own hair. So a lot of times I have a topper on. And in day to day, and this topper I have to kind of sew the little clip came off. But a lot of times I do, I wear a topper which just gives me the added volume that I need when I'm using, when I go day to day with my bio hair. And I have a couple of toppers that I really like. So I'm not gonna really spend a lot of time on topper talks because they're not empty. So I just keep using them. But these are two different brands. One is the Rick Hall Welch, one is John Renau and both of these brands have been thinned by me. I've thinned out my toppers. I'm going to curl this one. So, and I mention it because between wigs and toppers, not everyone is blessed to have a beautiful full head of bio hair. They're just not. And some of us need a little bit of a boost. Some of us need a little bit of help. Some of us can do just fine with products. But others, you know, we need a little bit of a boost. I'm in this category. My day to day is more toppers than full wigs. But I absolutely love, especially when I'm going on camera and I absolutely love being able to share the wig looks with you. That said, big sexy hair. I've talked about this often. I purchased big sexy hair. There was a couple of times that I have been sent big sexy hair products from Octoly, but I purchased most of my big sexy hair products. And sometimes I buy them at my hairdressers depending. Sometimes I buy it at TJ Maxx, depending on where I am when I need it. I love the powder play, especially because I, you know, you guys know I ride my bike, right? And you know that in the summertime I wear a lot of ball caps. Well, when you wear a baseball cap style hat and you take it off your hair, hat hair is not pretty hair. Hat hair is awful. Well, helmet hair is worse. So big sexy powder play. I love it. Even if I just sprinkle it on my squished flat ugly hair and I just mush it around, it gives me instant volume. So this is empty. I already have a replacement. I don't think I will ever go without powder play. I just love this stuff. And depending on where you get it, if you find it in TJ Maxx or whatever, I mean, I went to and bought one in TJ Maxx. It was like six bucks and like, whoa. Because when I buy it from a hairdresser, it's more like almost like $18, right? So shop around because this is a great product. And it is, I think you can get it at a real amazing price. Next, I finished two of my mascaras. One I've already bought over and over again, which is my Essence Lash Princess, the one in purple. Has to be hand down. My all time drugstore foundation. My all time drugstore mascara. Love, love, love this stuff. I also bought Sky High and from Maybelline. And I've talked about Sky High in the past, but I will tell you, I'm not going to buy Sky High again because I prefer from the drugstore, the Essence. I just, it's under five bucks. I use it, you know, like I throw it away, probably even before I have to, just so that I don't do any kind of contamination, especially with my dry eye issues. So, but at that price point, right? I mean, it doesn't hurt you to buy more. So while I like to Sky High a lot, I think the Essence just works so much better for me and I really, really like it a lot better. Another thing that I'm always using, Blink Eyelash Serum. And if you've hung in with me this long, I'm going to actually give away three Blink Eyelash Serum bottles. So just in the comment below, make sure you tell me you want to have sexy eyelashes and you want to try the Blink. And I'm going to, you know, I'm not going to respond to comments here. I'll just belly heart all the comments, but I just, for those of you that want to be entered into the giveaway, it's going to run for two weeks. I'll put that information below. I love Blink. I've been using Blink for years and years and years. It works great for me. It may not work great for you. I don't know, but for me it works just really wonderful. I'm very careful with my Blink. I make sure that I sanitize the brush that I use. I sanitize the lid because I always drop a little dropper into the indent and the lid and I dip my brush into that and put it on, apply it like eyeliner. So I'm always super careful on sanitizing, especially with my dry eye that I have going on. I've talked to my eye doctor. He thinks there's nothing wrong with using this. All my research, this is not harming my dry eye. But anyway, so if you want to enter into winning three things of Blink, let me know below that you want sexy eyelashes and you want to try the Blink and you'll be entered into the contest. The other thing that I have emptied is my Macoo. Now, Macoo is a CBD oil. In Macoo, I love how the quality of their CBD is. I love how clean the product is. It's super, super clean. And anyways, I finished it, I ordered it. I use my own discount code, not sent to me. So use my own discount code and the 5,000 milligram bottle that I like has had a dramatic increase in price. It's like $200. So with the 50% off, it was $100, but I still bought it because I like it. I like it on my face. I like that when I put it under my tongue, it totally relaxes me if I'm having, you know, I nervous if I'm going through some stress and I've had a pretty stressful month. So I really like my Macoo. It finally came in. I had a hard time ordering it, but it finally came in. I finished my advanced eye cream from City Beauty and I know they're running specials. I'm gonna try to get all the details below but because I've been in such a stupor, so to speak, with my brother's death and trying to take care of with, you know, issues, I just really haven't paid attention but I finished this eye cream. I love this eye cream. It is a really nice, nice eye cream but to be honest with you, I have several eye creams I'm working my way through so I'm not gonna repurchase this right now because I have so many. Other things is makeup wipes. Whoops, this is not a makeup wipe. Oh my God, this is Summer's Eve. Summer's Eve is a bathroom wipe. I like this stuff. Yes, I bought it. I also buy the Easy Sweets wipes. I like those a lot. But makeup wipes, most of the time I just use the makeup wipes that I get from Sam's Club members, Maka, buy a big box of it. I go through it often. I really like them. I have them in my bag, at the motor home again, all over the place. I find sometimes using a make up my wipe during the day really helps a lot for me anyways. So two other products, Aquafor. This is the lip protection and sunscreen. One thing I've noticed since I stopped derma rolling, I kept saying I was gonna get back to derma rolling but I just really have it. But one thing I noticed since I stopped derma rolling is that the wrinkles in my lips have gotten so much worse. Now, I'm not gonna say they've gotten worse because I'm not derma rolling. I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. But I'm sure that they're getting worse because I'm getting older, right? I'm getting older, I'm 67. So I'm sure that they're gonna continue to get worse. So I'm really super careful on sunblock on my lips. And even though this is an SPF of 30 and it is supposed to be lip, I put it right all up on my upper lip and I really try to protect it. This is Aquafor, you just get it at the drugstore. I really like it, I really like it. I'm getting more for, especially if we go away soon, I'm gonna get more to put in my bag. And then the Sarah V 50, to me, this is a spot checkup. All gone. I have so much sunblock. I'm not gonna buy this one again. I'll buy it for spot checkup as I need it, but I can't put the Sarah V underneath my makeup. It pills on me. So I have to be really careful with other sunblocks that I'm going to use under my makeup. So anyways, that is sort of my empties. I have no idea how long this video is. It's probably an hour already. I don't know, but I wanted to share that with you. I have had a couple of questions on our bikes, and I am gonna try to do a bike review video, and I'm also gonna do another look-see on one of my older wigs that I really love, that people are worried about heat-friendly fibers, how they hold up. So I'm gonna actually do an update on my Raquel Welch editor's pick, one of my favorite wigs. So I'm gonna do that, but we love our bikes, and I still have not done that review on it. I have ordered custom fenders from Minnesota, right? I think I might have mentioned that. So I ordered custom fenders for my bike. I call my bike Glenda. So Glenda needs some boosting, because Glenda's kind of a boring-looking bike. So we ordered custom fenders. They're not in yet. I don't know how long they're gonna be before they come in, but I wanted to do a review when I had my custom fenders on, because right now I don't have the fenders on, and I do have my basket, but I just have a regular basket bag inside of it. So I wanted to kind of wait for that. So hopefully you're okay with waiting. I know bikes, electric bikes, e-bikes are expensive. We had, like I think I said, our old mountain bikes. We paid a fortune for them way back in the day. They were like 22, 24 years old. And we love, love, love riding bikes. And when we went to sell them this summer, we got good money for them. So I think it's the matter of deciding quality, what you want, what you can afford. I figure our electric bikes are gonna outlast us without a doubt, I think so. Anyways, I'm still gonna do that video, but I think the next video you're gonna see for me is going to be the update on one of my wigs that I've had so many of you ask questions on. Again, thank you. Thank you so much for bearing with me. I know I've not been very consistent this last month. Life just beats on you at times, you know? And you just gotta do the best you can, right? You just gotta do the best you can to keep smiling and just to keep working it, you know? Just to keep your attitude up. And so that's what I've been doing. Actually, to that point, I am going to have my very first facial that I can remember in forever. I think I might have had one when I was a teenager or something. But at 67, I'm going for a facial. It's a hydro facial. I don't really know what to expect, but I'm super excited. So I'm gonna pamper myself on that end. And I'm also, well, I'll talk about that some other time, some other stuff. So anyways, thank you, thank you. Love you all. Bye-bye.
