#springtime means time for a new #lipstick Are you getting new #makeup ? Do tell. ... See MoreSee Less
You crack me up. =-}
No, I no longer use makeup. Well, I do use lipstick and I got a new tube the other day.
I like your style 👍🤣
I'm low on 2 of the things I use from the dermatologist/skin care. They have this awesome tinted sunscreen that works for foundation and also hand cream that will really make a difference in just a couple of days. I love your lipstick color. I ask at the Ulta stores for my mascara, lipstick, and some of my hair products.
I started using a clean beauty RMS, but I’m retired and on a limited income, so I wait for when it’s on sale. I’m very happy with their products. You especially want clean beauty lipstick since it’s on your lips and could end up in your stomach.
Good morning
Beautiful
My new fave is a shade called Mauvelous by Kim Gravel, LWYA butter lipstick. It does go on like butter, and is a clean makeup product. Mother taught us to look your best, she said even if you have no time for anything else, you should put on some lipstick every day!
Got a few new colors of lipstick the other day.
That’s a pretty color you’re putting on!
Haven’t used makeup in maybe 8 or 9 years I do use chapstick a lot and sunscreen if I’m going to be out in the sun a lot.
Good morning my name is Debbie Tupper, my best friend of 23 years spoke of you very highly. Her and I are avid thrifters. She much more knowledgeable than I so she was my go to for well everything. last year she purchased a bundle of 3 sessions with you. We had planned on doing them as a team since she said it's easier for one person to run the video and the other can take notes. I understand it's been about 5-6 months but it has been hard for me to write to you, Tanya passed away she was only 49 and it was so unexpected, we were able to access someone her accounts, ebay etc however not her email. Her sister in law has been going through paperwork and hasn't come across anything from you or your team. I am thinking perhaps the information would have been completed via email? I'd like to fund out if the sessions could be verified on your end? if you were able to look what information would you need? thank you for your time

I#shoppingpping at the Goodwill thrift store in Westport, CT. Buy this ... walk by that! Watch *new* video now on my YouTube channel. ... See MoreSee Less
It’s not hard to find great things in a Westport goodwill. I lived in Fairfield I know. I now live a poor community in tn. You don’t find anything nice here. That’s the difference between going to goodwill in a wealthy area vs. a Poor area.
Yes, very true.
This is what I came across this weekend
Yes
Watching your YouTube channel and loving it! You inspired me to stop by my Goodwill store today! 😊
I watched this and you called it a covered casserole. Where I grew up we called it a soup tureen . Are they they same?

Plants have me stumped. I've killed every plant I've ever owned. Can you share a#gardeningtipsdeningtips for novices like me? Are you gardening this weekend? ... See MoreSee Less
Theresa is right- google Pa. Native species and select one that fits where you want to plant. There are many grasses that are beautiful for the back of a bed, with native flowers in the front. Soil is very important- see a local garden center to tell you how to get it tested. Coneflowers are tough and colorful!
Make sure you check for shade, or sun plants. Plant them in the correct type of spot. Miracle grow is awesome. Plants that love sun don't usually like to have sun on the bottom. So I place something to shade the lower part just above the roots. It's what works for me. Good luck.
Supertunia vista bubblegum. Keep it watered everyday and consistently. That's key to healthy garden plants or planters. Also add bone meal into the dirt. Fast growers are heavy feeders and need that to keep up the pace.
Check your growing zone that will tell you what is hardy in your area. For shrubs and trees go a zone below yours so you know it will survive through even extra cold winters. Have fun!
Red Begonias or Gerber Daisy's are easy to take care of. They both bloom all summer
I'm so bad with plants. My son bought me wooden tulips for mother's day one year. He said ,I don't think you can kill these. I planted them in a little flower garden out front. One day I looked out and all the blooms had fell off. My son says, " unbelievable" . He, refuses to buy me anything for mother's day now. Not even a card. But my daughter's buy me plants. I enjoy them until they're dead.
My husband says that I can kill a silk plant
Yes. Im planting gardenias! Making sure your plants are in the right zone for planting. Also the environment you buy them from should be continued or they go in shock. (And die). never disturb the roots!
Get native plants that are drought tolerant from a nursery. They will help you.
Save your banana peels and make Banana water or some call it tea. You can find directions on Pinterest.
I would encourage you to look into plants that are native to your area and will attract pollinators. Avoid pesticides please. Enjoy. You got this 🕶️🌻🌸☘️🐝🙂
You need to try this one . Not sure of the name. It grows like a weed.

My video caller paid $20 for 3 lbs. of jewelry. Found this Tiffany & Co. sterling silver bracelet, signed. I appraised it during the video call. It's worth $500. What are you #shopping for? Book a video call on my website. ... See MoreSee Less
Where can someone sell old pieces similar to that? Are there associations with shows for buying and selling?
Wtg!! I'd love to see the marks. It's very nice. 😍
Congratulations
That’s awesome!!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Best choice ever! Dr. Lori knows the good stuff!
