 Hey guys, happy Day after Thanksgiving. I'm hoping that I'm going to get this uploaded today. It is Black Friday. I Had wanted to do this video Yesterday then it went I had actually originally wanted to do it two days ago And then when I couldn't get it down. I said, well, I'll record it yesterday Right after everyone left from Thanksgiving and I didn't so Thanksgiving for me was it was Pretty much an emotional Day, you know, I had prepped the day before Because I was hosting Thanksgiving and even though the family was a lot smaller There was still a lot of work that you know, you you put into Thanksgiving or Any major holiday. I think when you're hosting it, I was kind of like really weirdly Calm for me knowing that I was going to have all these people over, you know, it's all family But still you want things to be nice and done and I live in an older home I live in a small home. So there's not like I can't set a big elaborate table and stuff like that, but And that and none of that even bothered me, you know, I was just I was just looking forward to feel the embrace of my family and And It was actually the first major holiday since my mom had passed So first major holiday being totally like an orphan in that sense right without mom and dad and my brother being gone So it was really surreal. It was kind of weird how I felt when I was prepping for it And then when everyone came I just had this sense of calm all day a couple of times I was near tears when I was trying to I make the gravy from the Drippings or whatever of the turkey and then I add, you know A billion to it and stuff like that and I make it that way so where my mother taught me But all these years when my mom would come up for Thanksgiving She would take the gravy base that I had made and make it into gravy, you know She'd add some seasoning. She's do this She'd do her magic and she would thicken it up perfect. So it was just a perfect gravy So my sister was there. We were all there and I was trying. I just froze. I just was like I Don't know how to do the gravy like my mom made the gravy and that kind of like really just hit me So my sister and I we dabbled around with the cornstarch and all that and anyways it came out fine But I just kept looking at everyone around the table and I kept thinking these are all the people my mom and dad make well most of all the people that my mom and dad made and They all have pieces of my mom and dad in them They all the little bits of them and and I thought Yeah, life ends, but it continues and I and I looked at Different versions of mom and dad in my grandkids in my sister's kids and my sister. I looked at all that and I said These are all parts of my mom and dad still with me and I just felt the most Wants come over me It's so hard to explain. I felt the ones come over me and I was like so excited about it Just sitting there and just enjoying the day So anyways, I had wanted to talk about you know all these awesome black Friday sales and all these awesome black Friday and Cyber Monday things and all of that stuff, but of course here. I am a little bit too late You know, everyone has got their black Friday posts out and that's awesome, but There's a couple of just a couple of different things that that I had really wanted to mention and one was I mean If you're a woman and even if you're a man, right Who doesn't like a little bling in your life, right? A little bit of sparkly jewelry at least I do I do love earrings I do love jewelry in general. I do love it and So I have over the course of the last I don't know three four years received pieces of jewelry That I received complimentary in exchange for review the first company. I think that reached out to me was Julia and Julia had offered to send me a couple of pieces I don't know I want to say was at least three years ago And I said I said okay This is the first one So I picked a band that looks almost identical to my band that I have in my diamond And I wanted to really see how does it hold out? so I have won this and won this and cleaned this and taken good care of this for a number of years now and I haven't I didn't clean it before I wore it. So you could see I'm going to come up close. I'm hoping The camera focuses there we go So this was the very first Julia piece that I got and it is almost a Duplicate of my wedding band So I got it and I said this would be perfect for traveling This would be perfect for me because sometimes you don't want to have your good jewelry, right? And I said I'll be curious to see how long and how good it holds up Well, I'll go back and look but I think this I think I've had this at least for two years If not three and it is held up beautifully and I have worn it a lot now over the course of time They've also sent me other pieces some that I haven't been a fan of you know that our This one that I've actually Never really worn that much But they're cute, you know, um, I think they're really cute. So they've sent that and I Still like Julia a lot. I like their pieces a lot and probably had about maybe four or five different pieces from them So they reached out again and said would you like to pick another piece and of course I'm all over that Why not, right? So in time, this is probably their biggest sale of the year So if you are a and I'll link it all below I'm not getting paid for this, but of course you can have a discount and The more you buy obviously using my link the more potential I might have a other piece of jewelry offered to me But you could have a 20% discount Monica 20 Until I think this this is going to be the normal discount And it goes I think until December 6th I will link that information below and I'll also link their website But they're having an amazing amazing black Friday sale until tomorrow. I believe the 26 So if you are looking at let me just show you this one piece Come on pick up sometimes the camera takes forever To and I know this is not Looking good at all because I can see it's not focusing but I'll superimpose when I opened this up and When I put this on I absolutely love love this ring and It has I mean it's only it's not like my other one where I've got two bands in there This is just one piece. It has a center stone Then it has stones all around it and then flush into the band. It is so Pretty, let's try it again. See if I can do the black next to it No, it's not going to pick up But oh my gosh, it is so pretty Anyways, they reached out to me and they said would you like to try another piece and I said sure so I went on and I Just really love it. So I This is probably the second piece of jewelry that I received from a jewelry company that I cut the tag off right away If I don't get the tag off, it's kind of like I'm like, you know, am I gonna wear this right? How you know, how am I gonna feel about it? But I absolutely this one I wear all the time You've seen me in many videos with this on and then this is the one I just got the other one I'm not a fan off. They also sent me one. I Don't think I never cut the tags off of it And I think it was because it was really too small for me, but it was just really very very pretty It's just too small So the tag is still on and it's not too small because they made a mistake. I think I made the mistake So they sent me this and and I and it's pretty it's just it's just too small so Anyways, if you are into jewelry and you want to take advantage of some of those super sales Go for it. It's amazing this time of year Black Friday, Cyber Monday. Go check out their website. Julie has some Really pretty pretty pieces especially for anyone that loves a little bit of bling which is but I absolutely love the other thing I wanted to mention is that and This this is for my my friends that you know are into alternate hair, right? If you have hair thinning Or you just want to switch up your look or you want to give your bio hair a break and stop processing for a while, right? I ended up buying this off the Clarence rack and you know Often times when you buy something off a Clarence rack, you you just you can't return them and you just really don't know, right? You're worried about what you're going to get. So I bought this off the Clarence rack I got a really good deal on it and right now almost any wig retailer is doing all sorts of Black Friday Cyber Monday sales Amazing, but if anyone is looking for a low density piece and I was really kind of afraid of this because it looked very flat because there's no permatease but This one is called Sunset by Ellen Villa and I have it in the shade sand multi-rooted and I'll tell you for for a Clarence piece the only thing I did and I have to do this on a lot of synthetic fibers is You shake it loose and then I sprayed it with the dry shampoo dry Dry, you know shampoo so that you could take down because it they are shinier now You can soak this in cold water and you can take this the shine down as well I just didn't want to go through that. So I sprayed it with some dry shampoo hung it upside down combed it and then because I and I'm still going to trim it I'm playing with it. I have trimmed just a little bit of fringe Around my face, which I kind of really like so I got this on Clarence and I had a coupon and I want to say it was and had a credit I Don't know, you know, and I have to look what do I spend maybe 40 some odd dollars on this wig And this is an Ellen Villa. And this is an expensive wig But I just I just want you to not be super afraid of you know, the Clarence Rex, right? Because you you never know and yes, of course You don't know if what if it's not your color What if it's not your style like if you look at the stock pictures of this wig I was like, oh, no, uh-uh, but I kept reading it and I kept thinking it I'm thinking I can maybe make it work because I wanted something super low density that I could wear That wasn't going to scream like I don't want to look like it just came out of the hairdressers, you know So to me, this has worked out really super well anyways, I Probably wicked excited about this in my last video I told you that I was getting the a mirror device, right? And I and this is the one I have is the precision I don't have the probe which has the bigger head. I'm gonna superimpose a video That I did and I'm gonna mute the sound because I'm gonna talk while it's playing I'm gonna mute the sound even though it looks like I'm talking but I set this up to demo this and I'll probably Show that video fully in a complete review But I was so excited about trying this because I thought coupled with my red light therapy It could make a big difference on my skin, especially on those troubled areas, which are my gels I wanted to see if I could really Target those Areas so as you saw in the video, right? You have to have a clean skin You let it dry Then you turn on the device you power it on and I had it on on section 2 number 2 and Then if you don't make contact you can have a demo and you can hear the sound if you don't make contact Before you move it's gonna make a really weird little long longer sound So you would you're gonna treat each area to the point of that it gets like 40 I'm gonna call them pulses I don't know if that's what it is and you just go over and then when you're done when you've successfully done 40 of them in Your whatever area so you start on say the outer corner of your eye and you go all the way around and you hit you hit Gently and all that then you go a little bit lower It's okay if they overlap go all the way back around then you can just go down to my nose and then by the time I've done three Maybe four passes of that I'm gonna hear the longer beep which tells me that I've successfully treated that area and then you can move off to an other Area so I've been doing both my eyes under eyes trying to really target the crow's feet here and then when I'm done that then I come down from my my tip of my nose where my nasolabia my gels start and I go down and I kind of then go here and up and I do that I do those passes again till I get to the 40 pulses, let's say and then I move on to a different area. I have been doing my upper lip my smokers wrinkles and I've been doing that and I think it takes me all of maybe five minutes To do this in the morning So I was like so excited to get this I think if you get the pro it's obviously gonna cover a lot more areas But with my red light therapy mask and this to me. It's like a no-brainer You know, it's a double a double dose of goodness for my skin. So Sales going on like crazy. You can actually go to current body I don't have the link below because I use their hair helmet and for the hands You can go to current body because they also sell other Products, they also have this on there and I believe it's their sale is 25% off I do have a direct link if you go to my link, I'm not going to get commission on it I'm too small for that, but I will get kudos, you know, because somebody actually followed the link So and then you could also have the link directly to narrow So I'll have both of them there I love my my red light mask that I wear which is candy where I'm going to link them If you have a chance an opportunity and you really want to kind of slow down the aging process And you're willing to commit Most of these products you can put on payment plans, you know And I'm thinking if I didn't have the money and I knew something was going to work for me I would go on a payment plan, but that's me. That would be my decision So I You know, I go to the dermatologist on a regular basis. I've been going to the doctor So, you know, I usually kind of run some of the stuff that I'm using by them And I've been encouraged by them. So with current body I'm doing the helmet for the hair regrowth and I'm also doing an other hair regrowth system that I talked about Briefly, and I really like it. I I got this from a Beauty a wig shop actually a local wig shop. We talked about hair loss I'm going to actually try to interview her and really talk a little bit more about this but I've been using that system, but then I put on the the The drops that you can put on and they're not oily Which I really like and I do that after I've done the helmet on my hair And then when I wash my hair, I do the whole nine yards and all that But like so at the current body of the helmet and I have the hand LED, which I have been doing and You know first thing I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference But actually am seeing difference on my hands. So but I'm also back in doing it more consistently And my hands take a beating. I'm very rough with my hands. I don't wear gloves and all that stuff So but yeah, I'm doing that and then the candy away for the masks. I'm also going to be trying the Is it the Glee Stone or whatever? I can never pronounce that, you know I've had like a jade roller and I've had another one just sort of depuffing myself Especially when you put it in the refrigerator and then you use it cold on your skin It feels feels really good. But anyways, I'm gonna link all my black Friday Amazon guys If you've been on Amazon's Black Friday, I'll link theirs too, but Amazon's Black Friday Holy mackerel, some of the sales that are going on are just absolutely Phenomenal so one to share those things tell you not to fear really if you're going through a reptile Wig retailer and you buy a clearance item. Don't worry about it. You know, um, of course, if it's not a reptile Retailer, then maybe you should worry about it But yeah, I absolutely I still think this is I said to my husband. I said, what do you think of this one? And he said to me, he said, I like it. He said, it looks good I said, oh, would you go to dinner with me in this? And he had and he paused and I said, oh, and he said, yeah, he says, of course I would he said would just go through the drive-thru and then he laughed and laughed and I got mad and walked out Yeah, I don't know if he was serious or not. But anyways I'm going to try to get this uploaded today Just so you guys can check out some of these amazing sales if you want and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, however you spent it, you know, I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving for me It was a day of reflection.
