Videos are the best...always
Great video. You did well with pronouncing Hutschenreuther (hootshenroyter). My first language is German. 😉
Love your videos
I wanna say that was the Goodwill where the worker asked us if we were from there and we said no...and she was like...it's about to be dark and you want to get home....soon. We skedaddled on out of there. But first we made the wrong turn when leaving...you want to go left, not right. 😅 Right takes you straight into a worse area than the GW. Was a fun trip.

I had to give up almost all of my glass when I moved. My heart still hurts. I kept some of my perfume bottles and a vase. Not sure what else has made it as I'm still unpacking.
Thanks for your tips...soooo much knowledge 👍
Have a great day!
Why would it matter? If you like the piece you get it
And weight?
Pontil, sorry
All respect, so please forgive me
Dr. Lori , You obviously are the Holy Grail, but ….. what about when the pintail has been ground?
So knowledgeable!
Hi Dr Lori, I found your “Binge” videos yesterday. Thanks for spending the day with me. 😊 I watched 200+ after watching several Goodwill finds videos. You are amazing. 🤩
DR Lori, hello from a 70-degree day in downtown Boston. Shop therapy. Do you ever discuss in your classes--or publicly online or while at an event or even when on TV... Do you discuss shopping addiction? Just curious.
Thanks Dr Lori! I love that tip. I am seeing this on the way to the antique store. ❤️
👍👍☺️🇺🇸🌎
This is why we love you 🙂 A wealth of information 🏆
So I get that a pontail is good. But seams, they are bad or good?
Thanks for the tip
Your looking fantastic!!!
Always great tips
Thank you.
I appreciate the way you explain things in a very simple and direct way. Thanks Dr Dr. Lori!

That's cool about your dad. Who did he pitch for? We grew up in Toledo and went to the Toledo Mudhen games all summer. Then our dad would take us up to Detroit to watch the Tigers. I think he did that too give our Mom a break.

You do you Boo you’re great
Dr Lori you're beautiful! Congratulations on the weight loss!
Ignore the idiots. You do you. We love you.
You are a wonderful, beautiful person inside and out! Try to ignore the Meanies!! ♥️♥️
Inside and out! Ignore the nonsense.
Well my answer to that comments is very simple " thank goodness I am not that superficial". If I may add, have some advice to whomever gave that comment to you; it's a very wise and old advice, "If you don't have nothing good to say, don't say anything"😉👍
I love your videos and appreciate your knowledge. Keep it up!!!
Stay authentic! We love you!
DO YOU FRIEND. YOU LOOK JUST THE WAY YOU ARE SUPPOSE TOO!!!
I think some people never learned how to use their verbal filter!
You’re great! Live life and keep feeling good and doing what you’re doing. 🩷
You're awesome!
Always be yourself! We all should dance to our own music!
You don’t wear makeup in the pool???🤦♀️ Goodness there are some really bored people in this world to complain about your makeup! Swim on, Dr Lori, with or without makeup!😂😜
I love your sense of humor. You look great. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. I love watching you no matter what!
We LOVE to see you Dr Lori! You look like a real person, which is increasingly rare these days online.
Keep doing videos . We love them just as you are!!!
Always be true to yourself. You are perfect the way you are. I love your personality. 
I think you're great! Dr. Lori! We all need to be ourselves! 💜
Come on! You keep it real! Thank you!
You are ok
Thanks for keeping it real Dr. Lori😄 I would much rather see a red nose with messy hair than that fake Botox and overblown lips thing that everybody's doing!
You always look good.
You look great and we enjoy your videos!!! Boo Hoo to the perfect one that left the comment. Have a great day Dr. Lori!!! 😁
Beauties from within and your radiant. I'm all about no filter. We're all real people here

Much better than a scarf around your neck. #vintage #jewelry Pick your favorite ... See MoreSee Less
The scarab necklace is amazing and so long, in person. The garnets are great because they are my birthstone and the pink set faceted cut gemstones really sparkle.
Definitely the Scarab, reminds me of my aunt.
Scarab
Scarab!
I would chose number one. I have several scarab pieces and I love them.
Scarab one definitely - very funky.
I love the scarab necklace! I own a bracelet with the same two different sized scarabs.
I love the amethyst one. It's a bit smaller and a bit more delicate. I like it the best. The bold scarab necklace is lovely but it looks heavy. I don't think I could carry it off. The third one just doesn't appeal to me. This was fun!
I love them all but I pick #1
Love the scarab necklace! Unique! And beautiful 😍
Garnet necklace
Scarab necklace
They are all beautiful. I'd have to pick my favorite based on my outfit that day
When it comes to jewelry, I only purchase what I would wear, and it depends on the price. My favorite is the amethyst. I have ear rings that would match exactly.
Definitely the scarabs. My mom had them
The scarabs.
I love the red one. Red looks great on us brown eyed girls. 🙂
Love them all but the multi-colored piece would be a good one
The garnet.
That’s a hard one Dr Lori lol I’m a Scorpio and I love unique so the scarab it is. Hope you staying amazing!
I love the simplicity of the pink one.
I have a scarab bracelet to match 😄
How much would a 14 k GF bracelet be worth?
Very pretty
Love the garnet then scarab necklace . Also my birthday stone
