Me and my husband are remodeling our spare bathroom. All by ourselves. Except for updating the electrical outlets and adding the fans. Neither one of us know a dang thing about electricity and that stuff is too dangerous to play around with. Other than that, my husband reworked the plumbing converting from a tub to shower. We’re installing a Tile Redi shower pan, waterproof backer boards, the flash, tile, flooring, paint, etc. We already knocked into our wall a few inches and made a deep niche of shelves that go from the top to bottom. ( we used some space from an adjacent closet.) Its tiring doing it yourselves and you have to pace yourself but it’s a lot cheaper and I know that it will be beautiful once it’s done.
Hats off to you! That is a big project and I'm sure it's also rewarding seeing what you can do yourselves. There was a brief time when I thought it would be cool to be a carpenter and build things. I have several friends that are plumbers, electricians and a contractor so I phone a friend 🤣
Hey Martha, I really enjoyed this video. I wrote down all of those books because they all sounded so interesting. That’s so funny you fall asleep so quickly on planes. I wish I could; I’m the person who can never sleep on planes. 🫠 Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great week! 🩷
I so agree if we are not buying something we are buying something else! i need to get some new walking shoes. My doctor actually recommended them to me. March has definitely been a mixture but I’m so hopeful for April! I’m so hoping I can get somewhere with a new pain management dr, and figure out what is going on with my back. I’m hoping I can get the approval to join a Silver Sneakers walking program and maybe try some yoga?! My goal is strengthening and better balance!!❤ Thank you for asking because it sure feels great to share that!!
I hope you get approval for Silver Sneakers too! I'm rooting for you. I absolutely love yoga. I became a certified instructor because I love it so much....so why don't I do it everyday? Because I fell out of the habit and it takes so much effort and momentum to get me back into walking and yoga. Saying it out loud motivates me. I will go to Yoga on Sunday. How is that? I put it out there and now I need to make it happen. Yoga is great for strength, balance, joints. I love stretching. I have to go to a studio and do it otherwise I won't do it. I know myself. I need the external accountability. Thank you for sharing. I believe in putting it out in the world and taking action to make it happen. Let's check in again next month.
@@Martha_FragranceCorner You can do it! ❤️ Thank you for the encouragement! It does help putting it out in the world! I hope that I can find yoga through Silver Sneakers because I definitely need a class that will help me not do things that could hurt my bones, I need to be extra cautious! Yes!! Lets check in next month ❤️❤️
Hello, I also have back issues and have been going to Physical Therapy for over a year. I have found some excellent UA-cam channels that have wonderful exercises for people with back issues. Always check with your doctor first before you start a routine.
@@kathylafayette3765 thank you! I have tried pt several times but the last time, I couldn’t lye down on the table, she said I needed to go back to my dr and push for the MRI .. That has not happened… such a long story, but it’s insurance related as well as the dr ‘s staff not documenting my chart correctly, and much more!! I have recently been able to change drs and am actually getting my MRI’s this week! My insurance has changed as well so I’m hoping that will speed up everything as well. I have looked on YT for yoga and I have done a few. Primarily for the stretching.! One of my concern is I wanna make sure I’m doing things correctly because I don’t need to cause an injury. My phones are very brittle so I’m extremely cautious. Would you mind sharing with me some of your favorites on UA-cam? Thank you again for your input, I appreciate it very much.!💜
I appreciate this comment so much and appreciate your support in watching and commenting. It truly means a lot and makes my day. Thank you! 🙏 I hope you are having a great week.
You did Great, Martha! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars …. No quarter stars here 😂 March was a mixed bag of nuts 🫤 Thank God for April, because I’m so looking forward to Second & Spruce pre- order 🙌🏻 Hope you have a successful April, you’re doing great, keep that shit up 🫶🏻🍻
I can't wait for that preorder!! I'm so excited for the hauls coming this month! I better not waste a day not warming wax. 😂 I got good news today. I wasn't laid off. April is off to a great start
Great video Martha! I hurried to the library and checked out Night Watching. (The others are on hold😉). I read the physical book and LOVED it!!!! Take care and keep those book reviews coming please 😁!!
Oh I'm so glad as that was my favorite of the three. You can probably take or leave No One Can Know, but I did really like Woman on the Ledge. I will keep sharing what I am reading as it helps me stay on top of it. Thanks for coming back to tell me what you thought of it.
I got through 20 wax items in March. I’m so happy with that! I’ve done a rewards order Sunday night & the wax bundle I redeemed is for a loyal customer. I’ve had zero wax in since June 2023 BBMB ended!
@@Martha_FragranceCorner thanks Martha! I’ve had some customer orders come in, so I sniff while I’m packing & then club ones I love, but I keep even pushing off my clubs…
Great video Martha! I read No One Can Know. It was good and an enjoyable read. Love those white sneakers, they look so compfy! I like my Hey Dudes 😎. My month? Honestly, I don't remember much of it. It was a blur! Need to slow down. Thanks for sharing. This was a fun video! 💜💜
Hi Chris! March seemed like a month that would never end. I've been wearing my Allbirds sneakers a lot and love them. I think you will like Nightwatching and The Woman on the Ledge. Those were top books for the year so far. Have a wonderful night. Get some rest
I love reading and I'm so happy to be back into it I'm currently reading the three-body problem which was the best seller in China and there's a Netflix and Amazon series about it. If you like science fiction it's really really good.
I feel like i dont empty enough for what I have but I did fnish 73 for the month no clue on other numbers. Ive had lower months and higher months. Im happy with it since 3 were loaves, 11 were brittles and rest souffles, shapes, bars and clamshells and samples. Also I didnt melt anything for 2 days. I dont put much wax into my warmers. Im just not one who loads them up. I think i figure it will clean up easier and faster. I still need to do work on my scoops but i did put in some Hayden Rowe Street Donut and put some RG Strawberry Jelly Donut scoop on top of each today. I was gifted the scoop over a year ago and i have warmed it a few times. Its a really large wide container. I know its older but still throwing. 😊❤
That's fantastic Angela. I don't know why I don't reach for scoops as much as I do other types of wax. I only warmed one scoop last month. Luckily I don't have a ton of them but I still need to try a little harder. Finishing 3 loaves is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing I enjoy hearing how you did.
@@Martha_FragranceCorner I probably have 35 or more scoops. Eeek I gotta count I'll let you know the total. Some I bought and some gifted. I'm scared to count though.😂 I've finished 4 scoops in 4 years 😔 I need to get on them. Just a pain to clean if you some mix harder and scoop it does clean up easier. I just don't have more then 1 or bakery in scoops though. Its other types of blends. I went scoop crazy before I learned they aren't my favorite form. I need to try to do one a month honestly to start some progress, some are partially used. Some never. It wasn't all start to finish last month but all was finished ,some several times till gone, some was once or twice. Thank you I appreciate that. I could do way more but I just can't put alot in my warmers when they don't need it. To me that would be a waste. Plus im home alot. I do stop all wax but my bedroom by 7 pm though. I usually do each room 1x a day except bedroom twice most days. One was a SGA out of the breadbox loaf which I loved , I cant hoard it though and I found 2 brittles in destash so I can use my back up loaf. I just which I had couple more cause it's one of my SGA favorites along with Green Machine and a few others. Hopefully she will be back and better then ever soon enough.
@@angelasmeltingmoments3334 I’ve never melted out of the breadbox. Sounds good. I may have about 10 scoops and haven’t purchased any since about a year ago. Thanks for sharing your routine.
I broke my no buy on March 20. I made a small Super Tarts order ( and no regrets really, I haven’t ordered from ST since Wax Wednesday in November). So I was shooting for a six month ban , but only made it a little over halfway. I dont feel too bad though, well, heck, I don’t feel bad at all really b/c I’ve been using up a lot of my Super Tarts and have made a reasonable dent in my stash so I didn’t feel any ounce of guilt in replenishing my stash. #confessional101
You did great with lasting as long as you did. I can barely get through a month 🤣. Making a dent does feel good. I hope to make a decent one this month even though I have a bunch of preorders coming in. We shall see.
In March I spent a lot of time home so I emptied 109 items (most of them are smaller sizes). But I brought in more 😅😅 aiyaya (also small items though lots of scent shots and samplers). I'm at 563 items at the end of March.
Are you wearing a mic in this video Martha? The sound seems ‘closer’ ? You’re doing well on using your wax and reading some good sounding books 👌🏻 thanks for sharing and hope you had a great Easter break ❤
I have 4 audio books in my Kinkle im going to get Night watching. I love thriller stories. MY daughter has hokas they are her hiking shoes. She loves them. I have Brooks and i think they work great for my plantar fascists.
If you like thrillers that is a great choice out of the three I read. I've also heard that Brooks are great. Shoes have come a long way from when I was a kid.
I warmed 63 Scentsy Bars so I did some damage in March! Do you have a Scentsy club coming soon? I pushed mine out until August so it’s giving me time to revisit fragrances and really make decent cuts to my club.
That's fantastic! I do have a small club coming in May. It has a few Spring/Summer Scents and others I've been dropping in there to try. My main club is pushed out to August. It's the one with all the Fall/Winter scents. I like to push it out as far as I can for the same reason, to revisit and to see what I don't have to club for a bit while they are offered in the catalog.
I wear crocs 😂😂. I have severed my Achilles tendon so anything that rests on the back of my heel is a little painful and I get really bad blisters. Then I have sciatica from my pregnancy so my OB told me to wear crocs and I tried them and oh my I will never go back. I walk in them and the little bumps in soles doesn’t bother my sciatica and there is nothing on the back to rub against my heel
I have a pair of white crocs and they are super comfy. I actually like the little bumps, they massage my feet. Severing your Achilles sounds painful! Sciatica is no joke either. Hopefully that could go away at some point?
@@Martha_FragranceCorner I hope so! The way my son was sitting when I was carrying him I got a bit of nerve damage and something with the pressure. I am working with a chiropractor on it which it will never be 100% but hopefully my sciatica doesn’t act up every day that I am trying to be active
I have a question on your numbers. If you order something at the end of March just say and it comes in April do you count that as a March number or an April number?
I count it as an April number. For example I was pretty confident that my Knowles February preorder was coming in March and I counted it in March and I knew that my February preorder from Teddy Bee's would hit in April and I put it in my April "ins" If I did it when I purchased it, I'd feel mentally defeated before I even start 😂 It's all about what makes me feel like I'm ahead.
Me and my husband are remodeling our spare bathroom. All by ourselves. Except for updating the electrical outlets and adding the fans. Neither one of us know a dang thing about electricity and that stuff is too dangerous to play around with. Other than that, my husband reworked the plumbing converting from a tub to shower. We’re installing a Tile Redi shower pan, waterproof backer boards, the flash, tile, flooring, paint, etc. We already knocked into our wall a few inches and made a deep niche of shelves that go from the top to bottom. ( we used some space from an adjacent closet.) Its tiring doing it yourselves and you have to pace yourself but it’s a lot cheaper and I know that it will be beautiful once it’s done.
Thats amazing! My bf is a plumber and that job isnt easy !
