You're so welcome. Thanks for watching.

Hi, Marti--Ahh, yes--a hayride through a pumpkin patch--and the aroma of anything pumpkin--sounds devine! As far as brushes for cream eyeshadow go--I recommend synthetic brushes since natural hair brushes can soak up liquid and creams too much and produce either sheer or streaky results (and creams tend to necessitate washing often, and synthetics can take the extra washing easily). A flat, synthetic brush is great for all-over lid application; a fluffy, dome-shaped brush is great for diffusing crease color and applying creams to the brow bone; and a dome-shaped, denser brush is excellent for depositing pigmented color into the crease. Hope this helps.

@@EliseMarquamJahns thanks so much!!

Hi, Gina--I so agree. There are so many wonderful things to enjoy!

Hi, Johanna--I also fondly remember the clothes shopping trips before school. One or two new items were the limit! Wow, have things changed. I do feel your pain with that discontinued product that sounds absolutely wonderful--especially since it has such a wonderful scent. I'll have to buy a few more of the L'Oreal Age Perfect lip liners since that whole line is being discontinued. Such a shame since it's one of the very few lines specifically for older women. How fortunate your daughter-in-law is to have your help and how lovely you are to do it. And how fortunate you are to have dual citizenship. I've had so many wonderful trips to several different areas of Canada and have wonderful memories. Happy Thanksgiving.

@@EliseMarquamJahns Speaking of Age Perfect: I went to get some of the Age Perfect products that I'd been planning to get for a while, but hadn't done yet, and I could not find those products ANYWHERE here! I thought at first that maybe some places were just not carrying those anymore, since that happens, but I didn't realise until you said so, that the whole line is being discontinued. I loved those lipsticks. (I think it was the lipliners actually, because I have one lipliner that I swear by, but that is so hard to obtain, I was looking for a replacement). Now THAT'S out of the question. Oy Vey.

@@johannaholmgren8088 Hi, Johanna--It does look like some colors are still available on several Amazon sitesif you're comfortable going that route.

Hi, Lisa--Yes, that foundation did wear beautifully through the day. I think you'd enjoy it. Fried bologna--oh my gosh--I've never tried that but it sounds really good. Lisa, what a frightening dreadful time that must have been. Who knew that a hurricane that hit Florida would have such disastrous results so far north in North Carolina and Tennesse. My best friend has a condo in Naples which is apparently O.K., but they were still cleaning up from Hurricane Ian since repairs take a very long time because there's always a shortage of laborers and materials after a hurricane. No matter where we are, I guess, climate change will impact us. We've had severe hail storms and then drought up until this past spring. And I just heard some friends saying that there are major research projects going on at the U. of Minnesota about what crops will need to change in the outlying farm areas due to climate change. I've joked that Minnesota may become a holiday sun belt destination some day!

@@EliseMarquamJahns I’m happy to hear your bestie is okay. Who knows, you may be right about Minnesota!

Hi, Paula--Ys--here's just something about seeing all that beautiful sea ofbright orange in a field that can't help but make us smile. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi--Thank you. I was just talking to my stylist about highlights, but apparently they're tricky to do on ash brown hair since red and blonde just don't work well. I just went a bit lighter on my last visit and I think you're right that it looks better. Thanks so much for your good input.

Hi, Dot--You are just the sweetest, most lovely person. And you absolutely made my day. Thaks so much, dear one. You are one special lady.

Hi, Dot--You just make me smile from ear to ear, dear lady. Wishing you wonderful blessings!

You are so very kind. Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend.

Oh my gosh, Christy, this poem brought tears to my eyes. It's so very lovely and poignant. Thanks so very much for sharing it. We lived in a suburb of Tucson for 8 years and would always try to get up to the highest mountain in the area this time of year to experience a bit of chill in the air and at least yellow leaves, but it wasn't quite the same as crunching throgh a variety of beautifully colored fall leaves in the Midwest.

Hi, Sherry--Yes, it just makes me happy reading your words. Hope you're continuing to feel better and better, my friend.

I'm with you, Mary Ann--Fall is beautiful. Wish it lasted longer! Wishing you a fabulous weekend, my friend.

Hi, Cheryl--Wow--would love to have seen the amazing Halloween makeup you did for your friends and your husband. I'm especially intrigued by the Tinkerbelle look. I hope you have some great photos of these looks. So glad you're also enjoying the Lawless gloss. I'll definitely have to check out that Fenty Foundation. (And why do they put so many words into the names of products? It's baffling since there's no way any of remember them!) How wonderful that the IPL treatment has helped with your rosacea. There are unfortunately so many really helpful things that insurance doesn't cover--my can't-do-without orthotics being one of them!

Hi, Mary Rose--Your fall basket arrangement sounds absolutely lovely. Isn't it wonderful to have something that makes you smile when you walk by it? If you make one of those beautiful pumpkins, you'll have to send us a photo!

Hi, Paula--What a brilliant idea and great story! Thanks so much for taking the time to share it. And congratulations--It's great to hear how much better you're feeling. What I also find interesting is that after several weeks of going without sugar, you really do get rid of the cravings and don't miss it.

Hi, Jill--Welcome! So glad you enjoyed and video! Best wishes.

My husband has just had that, with flap surgery leaving a J-shaped scar. We’ve been advised that a scar cream containing silicon gel will help enormously. He’s also using my tinted factor 50 suncream and although he was feeling self-conscious about it, he’s realised that most people genuinely don’t notice it. Sometimes we forget that looking intently at something in a mirror a few inches away is not the same as what you see when sitting across a table from someone or standing at a social distance from them!

Hi, Catherine Elizabeth--Welcome! Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed the video. I greatly appreciate your taking the time to drop me a line. I hope the healing continues to go well. I think those of us who enjoy makeup are fortunate because experimenting with colors and techniques can just be plain fun as well as therapeutic! Wishing you all the best and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

You are very welcome! Thanks so much for sharing with me that you found the video helpful and that it cheered you up. That means the world to me. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi, Marti--Thanks for your kind words. I love my walks but I'm always amazed by how much better I even feel after strength training. It's definitely challening to get back into former habits, but once they're locked in after a few weeks, it's so much easier! Sending warm wishes your way for much continued enjoyment of your walks and with your weights!

Hi, Mary Rose--I only found out about this company a couple of years ago. It's so much fun to look through their website and see all their fabulous designs and colors based on seasonal colors. You've probably found out that they have a color profile quiz you can take on their website to help you determine your best colors. I hope you have great fun with the process!

@@EliseMarquamJahns Hi Elise I had a short consultation with Colour me Beautiful years ago and I got the little booklet from them. It certainly made me more aware of colour and what suits me. I took the quiz on the Kettlewell company site and got a slightly different result 😁 That top you are wearing in the video looks beautiful on you and your eyes 😁

@@maryrose7842 Hi, Mary Rose--It's so interesting that you got a slightly different result. I still have the Color Me Beautiful book but I know color analysts today have even more category breakdowns like Bright Winter or Deep Winter, etc. for all the seasons. I've been enjoying watching YT videos created by a color analyst by the name of Sarah Ryan who's in Ireland who does this more in depth type of analysis. I must say that Kettlewell top is one of my very favorites, so I appreciate your kind words. Isn't it fun to enjoy beautiful colors and know what really helps us look out best?! Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi, Cindy--Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful journey. Congratulations! Isn't it amazing how much better we can feel when we eat heathier and exercise?! Way to go!

Hi, Mary Rose--Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate it. I definitely agree with you about the wonderful benefits of getting out in nature. Somehow it helps to put everything in perspective and definitely reduces stress. And how wonderful that you've let your hair go natural. I bet it looks lovely. And I couldn't agree more that a little makeup can make a world of difference. Thanks for watching and sharing.

Hi, Judi--Thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi, Johanna--Oh my goodness, thanks so much for sharing what you observed during your nursing career. This is such important information. My husband had a horrible case of Valley Fever in 2023 and then just a few months later, shingles--which was extremely painful and lasted for many months. But, thank goodness he was in great shape (diet, walking, strength training) before these illnesses so has now recovered and is back to his normal routine. And I've always thought that I wouldn't have made it through five surgeries in 2023 as well as I did had I not been in good shape beforehand. I love your story of Joan Macdonald. I'll definitely have to check her out. Have you by chance read Dr. Michael Greger's book How Not To Die? He opens the book with a story about his grandmother who had been treated for years for heart issues and there was nothing else her doctors could do. She was bedriddent, but decided to change her diet and start exercising, totally reversed her health issues and lived for a very long time. That story has really stuck with me. Sitting on my desk right now is Dr. Greger's newest book How Not To Age which I'm looking forward to driving into soon. Thanks also for bringing up the issue with soup cans and the far better way of using resistance bands. I really appreciate this background and information. Johanna, you must have an amazing number of stories from your work as a nurse. Have you ever thought of writing a book??? I think people would find it fascinating. I know I would. Wishing you all the best, my friend.

@@EliseMarquamJahns Thanks for the confidence boost!! I've had others tell me I should write a book, and I've thought about it ...maybe I'll just start putting down my stories and see what happens. (Some of the things are pretty wild though. ..I mean, ghost story wild...!!) I haven't heard of "How Not To Die" but I'm definitely going to be looking for that book now. I've read books before, purporting to be "longevity" books (I should say, "Attempted to read"..) but usually after a few pages I'm rolling my eyes because they're such nonsense. And the picture of the author/s of those books aren't very reassuring, since they look pretty "out there" (if you know what I mean, lol). Do check out Joan, she's amazing. And I'll check out Dr Greger.

@@johannaholmgren8088 Yes, definitely start writing down your stories!

Hi, Mary Ann--So glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun one to put together. Sending warm wishes your way, dear friend.

Hi--Thanks so much. I'm delighted to know you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful weekend!

Welcome! And thanks so much for your kind words.

Hi, Sherry--Yes, changes are so challenging, but can be so worth it. It's wonderful news that you're feeling better! You go, girl!

Hi, Linda and welcome! I can't tell you how much it means to me to hear that the video has helped you. I'm so delighted to know and so appreciate your taking the time to drop me a line. And thanks for your comment on my haircut. I've just found a new stylist and I'm so lucky to have found her. She just pulled a picture of the hairstyle up from the internet, but didn't mention a particular name for the style. Wishing you a wonderful day as well, Linda.

Hi, Sue--I've never been a fan of face oil either so I was pretty amazed by how this worked and looked. And mixed with the concealer it really didn't feel oily. It did wear well and I've enjoyed trying it several gimes since doing that video. Have fun experimenting with different options and I'd love to hear how they work for you. Best wishes.

Hi, Cynthia--Yes, there are definitely many eyebrow stencils from which to choose. I'm sorry you missed the link. Here's the link that I included in the description box: rstyle.me/+LLR6XlXkWsZ3WMxtWC4dUA I hope you find it helpful!

Hi, Lisa--I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And it's kind of you to let me know. Thank you!

Hi, Paula--I think organizing and decluttering is one of those projects that feels daunting, but once you get into it, it can feel so good when you've completed it. It's a little like cleaning makeup brushes which I procrastinated about doing until this morning. Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Hi, Lisa--You've reminded me that I really have to go through my eyeshadow palettes. Thank you! There are way too many that haven't been used in ages or that I found I really didn't enjoy that much after purchasing them. But, it's always a good idea to give them another try before making the final declutter decision. I think a decluttering video is in my future! I hope you have a fabulous weekend, my friend.

Hi, Mary Rose--It is so much fun to go in and take a look at what we already have--and it's a nice reminder to actually use it! lol Any lipstick called "Portofino" has to be gorgeous! Have a wonderful weekend.

Oh my gosh, Johanna, I've done the very same thing! I hope you were able to return those lipsticks. Because this has happened to me as well, it's the very reason why I always find out if makeup is returnable at the places where I shop--just in case! lol I definitely share your "magpie" reflex as well! I'm trying really hard not to impulse buy online by waiting a day and then going back to look at it to see if I'm still as excited about it. Sometimes this works . . . and sometimes it doesn't! I'm being a little dense because I'm not sure what you mean by a color correction face off--but I'd really like to know because I'm always on the hunt for great video ideas. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

@@EliseMarquamJahns Well, "color corrector face-off"....when you compare different brands of color correctors. And by "face-off, I meant when in hockey you have the puck drop and 2 players are faced off against each to get control of the puck. A terrible pun I admit. I think trying different brands of color correctors (how well do they correct, quality, price, how well they hold up etc. That kind of thing ....)

@@johannaholmgren8088 Thanks so much for the additional info, Johanna. Absolutely love the idea! Thank you so much.

Hi, Sue--Congratulations on going through your stash. It's definitely a challenging process, but I'm sure you're right that you'll feel a whole lot better once it's done. I was so glad to get out of my lipstick rut. I have so many that are just pretty ornaments on my bathroom vanity. But I've resolved to pull them out for future videos. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks, Dez--I'm actually embarrassed by the number of palettes that haven't seen the light of day for months or even years. Hopefully my resolution to change that will "stick." I'll look forward to seeing what palettes you'll be using.

Hi, Sherry--Glad to hear you were able to sleep in and hope that will help you get over that cold faster. Do you by chance use Zicam? That product has helped everyone in my family avoid some colds, but I think it has to be used when the first symptoms show up to be effective. How wonderful that you had fun switching out your eyeshadow palettes. The change of seasons always presents us with such fun new makeup opportunities. Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

@@EliseMarquamJahns have one as well, Elise

Hi, Mary Ann--I'm so glad I've provided some inspiration. I really wish I could actually toss a few of the products I used, but I always wonder if they might come in handy for a future video lol. I have so many lipsticks that never get worn and that will definitely change in upcoming videos!

@@EliseMarquamJahns 🥰🥰🥰

Hi, Karen--You're so right. Sometimes our brows are more like very distant cousins than sisters.

Hi, Yvette--The two brow products with the strongest brow "hold" I've found are Rare Beauty's Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel and Anastasia of Beverly Hills' Brow gel (not the tube but the small container with a separate brush). I hope one of these might work well for you.

@@EliseMarquamJahns Thank you, I will try the Rare Beauty. ABH did not work for me. These brows are terrible.

@@PolishedAfterSixtyYvette Fingers crossed it will work for you!

Hi, Kim--I so agree with you. I won't be without that product!

Hi--I'm so delighted to hear that I've helped. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know. Finding the right lip colors can definitely be a challenge, but once you do, it can be a game-changer.

Hi--Thanks so much for letting me know it helped! I really appreciate your taking the time to do so. Yes, that Maybelline product is pretty amazing!

Hi--Mascara can definitely do the trick.

Thanks so much!

@@EliseMarquamJahns what color is it

@@mableashworth8692 Hi--I wish I could tell you, but only my stylist knows the exact color!
