I was a new mom at 30 and divorced at 31 swore I would never marry again until this kind gentle sweet man came along and I said lord if he’s the one you better give me a sign a big sign and I got sick this man took the best care of me and my daughter and never left our side I thought if he stuck around for all that he’s definitely a keeper. I was 40 and he was 45 and we’ve been married for 18 years. Happy anniversary to you and Howard .
I had just turned 60 when I finally met the man I was always supposed to be with. He is 8 yrs. younger than me, but he put in his profile a range of 45-60. Lucky me! He also lived 53 miles away (in San Diego). I will be 75 next month and we've been married 10 yrs. Yes, it is hard, but very possible, at any age 🥰
Your entire face changes when you talk about Howard and about your relationship. You start to glow. Your features and your voice soften. It’s SO clear how much you love and are loved.
56 4 years ago! It happened for me!!! Like you we talked on the phone after texting for ages It tuck only two weeks before we got together for the first time! We have been together ever since! And it will last forever!!! Came to it with an open book nothing hidden! Scars and all!!! But we are still getting to know each other... Something different everyday!!!! And we keep the romance going! And try hard at it too! Surprises help! Kindness, honestly, sharing, And love. Lots and lots of love!!!
@@carmenana4890 My son met a “woman“ at his very large company’s Christmas Party. His two older brothers were also there - thus the description “ woman “. I was the one who urged him to go. He was not really interested in meeting anyone - too jaded from other girls and too shy. But he went. The “ woman “ and my son hit it off and after a couple of weeks, they started dating. He was 31 and she was 46. She has 2 younger children aged 8 and 10. And she also had an older daughter ( 21 ) from a first marriage. They have been together for over a year and are very happy. We, his parents, are also thrilled for them. The age difference means nothing to us. ♥️
@@carmenana4890 thank you for posting this. My new, um friend was looking way too young for me to feel comfortable with the age difference. Glad to know there's nothing we can't handle
Love is wonderful. I've been married 43 years and I still love my husband. Messy, hard, challenging, loving, hating, euphoric and crappy. 3 kids and 5 grandkids later we are glad we stuck it out. The rewards are sooo great. So happy for you Monique!
Congratulations on your 3 years with your love, I met my love when I was 38 with three children, he was 21 never married, he thought I was 25🙄, when we were together weeks he asked me to marry him I said No I don't know you that well,6 mos he asked again I said No your young, I have 3 children youngest was 3 and a half, well time went on after3 years we married, this coming year on February 14th we will be celebrating our 30 year anniversary! I always say love comes when you least expected, My husband is the Best thing that ever happened to me, besides my children..❤❤❤💋💋💋💋
I only started following you a short time ago. I’m 73 and love your videos, I’ve picked up some useful makeup tips. This brought a tear to my eye. Be happy always 💕
I've had the extreme honor, and pleasure of watching you set down tender roots in L.A. again with a new vision, a dream, and a purpose for your life, both professionally, and personally. You tended to your roots, you began to grow, you flourished, you flowered, and you blossomed right before my very eyes, Monique! I was so thrilled for you as your career path allowed you to beautifully represent yourself as well as all of us gals as we discover, learn, and appreciate the love, beauty, and blessings of being over the age of fifty! I was absolutely tickled when it appeared that you found a new life partner who fell 'in like', and then 'in love' with you, who respected you, who was kind, conscientious, and incredibly loyal, and who was willing to work just as hard at building, and maintaining a strong, happy, and understanding relationship with you! Howard appeared to be supportive, committed, and passionate, and I suspect he is absolutely 'your soft place to fall', Monique! I am so happy for you, Beautiful! I, too, found my 'soft place to fall', and in July, we have been together for twenty-four years! Over the years we have gone through so many significant life challenges together, yet we've come through the other side even stronger, wiser, and more committed to each other! I wish that for the two of you too, Sweetheart! Enjoy the celebration of the third year of your wonderful love story, Monique, and thanks so very much for sharing it with us today! Happy Anniversary, guys! Love, and hugs, always, Monique, Sherrey 🎉🎆💗🥂💗🎆🎉
The woman that was his friend wanted more then from him I am sure. When you came into the picture she knew she didn't have a chance of having anything more than friendship.
My husband and I have the kind of relationship you only dream of. We feel it was fate because of the circumstances under which we met. His friends and my friends were jealous because they could see we only had eyes for each other. His friends wanted him single because that way he could be there for them, not caring about his feelings. We laugh now because most of them are divorced and we're still going strong.
When people put conditions on friendship, they aren't true friends. So happy for you, Monique. Wishing you and your love a long and happy life together.
You NEVER let friends CHOOSE whom you date....never,ever...you and Howard are such a perfect match....and you both did it on your own...amazing love...❤
Dating is very hard...for a woman wanting a traditional good,kind, caring and Godly man....its just not there anymore...sad in a horrible,horrible way...so it's not worth it...
My husband always says, "the heart wants what the heart wants" and Howard listened to his heart. Good for him. Blessings to you on your 3rd anniversary!
I have been MIA from your channel - and have just come back to watch some of your recent uploads - this was a great one to get me all caught up. I like to work and listen to your commentary - and then toggle back every now and again to see how you have transformed yourself make-up wise. I have missed your funny comments like, "When in doubt, play it safe...with make-up, that is." I am so glad you have found soulmate love.
The situation with the friends would have been taken care of if they had just given you a chance. You are an amazing person! Sorry for Howard losing them, but that can’t be very good friends to begin with. 💕
Those are not friends you want to keep. No loss there! Good grief, that’s so immature and selfish of them to make judgments on someone that makes them happy. Color of hair, skin, age or certain qualifications is not equal to what they think is the right person?
Ha! I’m 74 and was married for 24 years. He left me 35 years ago. It took me a few years to get over it all but then I tried dating. Nothing bad happened but nothing good either. Then I met the love of my life: my granddaughter, Karma Delilah! I became very involved with caring for her because her mom, my daughter had to work since she is a widow. I realized somewhere along the way that I had trusted my husband so much and he was my best friend and yet I had been deceived. I just didn’t want to ... actually I just could NOT ... trust again. Didn’t want to put myself out there. So I’m single and fine!
Besides having our name in common your story is very similar to mine in more ways than 1. I have two beautiful granddaughters. I have been divorced now for 5 years. All though I do get extremely lonely at times and COVID doesn’t help. I am happy now. 😊
@@wandastevens3183 Sorry! I didn’t know someone had responded. Yup! It’s hard! I even lost my girlfriends and my church! Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with me. Sometimes I cry. But not often. I have 5 cats...only 2 like to come inside. And 2 dogs. All rescues. Well, they rescued me, of course. My days and nights are mixed up. But who cares? Lol
@@robyndeddens6658 I get lonely a couple of times a year. But I snap myself out of it! I REFUSE to do that! Too many books to read and too many naps to take! What REALLY got me down this summer is my 17 year old granddaughter doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. And she hasn’t for 6 months. And I’m not sure why. I was sick at first, my heart was breaking for I love her so very much. I have written her, called and texted. She did text with me a few weeks ago for about 15 minutes. Anyway, I can’t let my well-being rest on an 18 year old. Her b-day is Friday. So, I just remember how much she loved me when she was little and move on. It’s called self-preservation. What else can we do but move forward?
@@robinholbrook6576 Robin I am sorry to hear about your granddaughter, having grandchildren is so darn special. It could be just a phase she is going through. What helps me is I look for the positive knowing that something good will happen and I look toward the next hour or even the day! I have my 3 dogs that keep me company and so loved. You are special Robin. 🙂
I am really happy for you and Howard, I lost the love of my life back in 2005, and unfortunately haven't been able to find anyone but life goes on and your story is a awesome one, enjoy your time together and stay safe. Girl Power ✌️
I've got so many things going on in my life or let's say NOT going on😏 I just listened .know matter what age, it's never to late to find love. 💞 Back to your face,This is a little thing I do when I get those nasty bumps, which I think is nervous stomach 🙄 I eat more of my plain Greek yogurt than I usually do and a dab a little bit on my bump ,gone in no time. Works for me. Have a wonderful time on your date! 🌞
I needed to hear this today, you are so right on everything you said. I cannot believe his friends would not give you a chance...I can't imagine anyone not liking you...I remember all the things you went thru 💔 when you were telling them. I am so glad you both have each other. Happy Anniversary 😊 and hugs from NC!
I am so happy for you Monique.I have been here from the early days.I am single 57 and I can never trust again.If I can't trust my husband ( now ex ) having been married for 37 years.I can't trust anyone.I know this unsays what you have just shared.This is my experience.❤️
Oh my goodness love it. My husband and I met online and we have been married for 19 years. We met in November and married in July the next year. I still feel he was a blessing from God. I love your shirt too!
I remember posting a comment on how happy you looked when you first told us about Howard. It's been lovely to follow your story together. Here's to many more years of happiness! 🥂
I love this “crazy” lady. That’s exactly my philosophy of life. I’ve been called this kind of crazy many times 🙄. Love her energy!!! Thanks for sharing your story. 💓
I’m happy if you’re happy...just be on the lookout for some red flags - I find it odd that friends would disown him when they haven’t even met you. And not just one but many. I’m afraid there’s something more to that story that he’s not sharing. Or maybe he doesn’t have close friends and doesn’t want to admit that to you...or is using the “I gave up my friends for you“ as a way to manipulate you. Just be careful out there! I hope I’m wrong!! You’re a beautiful person inside and out and deserve only the best.
I agree about the red flags. If friends are not willing to meet the lady of a 3 year relationship, what is the exact reason? It would only think this makes sense if there is a "hidden life". If you know what I mean. I hope I am wrong.
What a lovely story! I'm so happy for you both. I was 52 and my hubby 56 when we became a couple. I got warned about him, but it's been 13 years and I haven't regretted a moment. When you're willing to put in the work it can become something extraordinary; I do so agree with that. Have a great anniversary!
Best love story ever! Sky heart and Midnight Oil too?!?! Your love is divinely inspired with the best omens ever!!!!! Wow!! Absolutely love you and am so happy for you both!!!! Thank you for sharing the dream lovely man we all pray happens to cross our paths too one day! We love Howard even more now!!! And you are beautiful. !!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💖
Not sure where you're at with menopause, but can you share what impact it has on a new love relationship? Meeting someone and shortly after, going through menopause, I can't imagine it, and no one talks about it. Menopause is such a big deal and such a big taboo at the same time. I see so many women dumped around menopause, or, if single, unable to find a lasting partner. Your story is truly inspirational. Maria
I completely understand you, Maria! And let me tell you that there is really a way.... and it is actually very simple... I have found and proved it myself... to not only avoid all those problems from "menopause", but to actually avoid this thing at all!!! As incredible as it sounds... it is truly totally possible! It takes much discipline, though, and a strong will... a real desire and determination to change things, because even though the method is very simple, it is hard to put it in practice, as it involves a TOTAL CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE. Yet, the final outcome is SOOOO IMMENSELY REWARDING!!!! SO MAGNIFICENT THAT WOU WILL NEVER REGRET ALL THE HARD WORK!! I can only encourage everyone to give it a try and see the magic for themselves! ✨🤩✨ I have understood and realised by personal experience that menopause is not something we are subjected to and cannot escape... same as ageing!!! It is all like any other disease... it is just the body suffering a malfunction and it can totally be healed and reversed! How? It is actually EXTREMELY SIMPLE. The truth is very simple. The simpler something is, the truer. It has all to do with the purification of the body by simply stopping all our actions that contaminate it. I have found tricks to make this easier too and to get to a very pure state very fast. I share all of it for free on my youtube channel. Coming to this knowledge has been the biggest revelation and success in my life. It's all through personal experiencing, testing things for many years by myself, on my own body and observing... learning from all the changes taking place in my whole being... not just on a physical level, but also on all other levels... encompassing the WHOLE of me, which includes my reality as well... the story I live and keep creating/manifesting in my own life... this has been a total game changer for me AT ALL LEVELS!! And I am very happy to share and inspire others, because I see no "others", but extensions of me.... we are all in this together... we all share the same soul/energy on a deep level... at our core. I have seen not only women healing and reversing "menopause" and "ageing", but so many other diseases, as well as men and children, animals, etc. Seeing these "miracles" unfold, how others who apply the same principles I do, go through the same experience of reversing problems and awakening to more truth about themselves - A SELF DISCOVERY - has been so incredibly inspiring for me to keep on going with my discoveries and continue sharing them as best as I can with the whole world! ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟✨
I'm 48 and have been having symptoms of perimenopause for years. I haven't had a period in 18 months but I still have an internal body temperature of 4000 degrees. 🥵 I've no advice on the relationship side of things though, I'm divorced and content on my own.
Omg! Yes! Me too! I am 53 and I get the sweats and mood swings ! Would like to know where you are in your life with menopause as well and how you handle it!
I agree but a real Good Mature man will accept a partners love in many forms. Monique is a very vivacious Youthful 54 yr old. Just look at her! He probably puts her on a PedestaL like a ReaLife Queen! Wayyd it go & Yes Very Inspirational Upbeat Life changing tuber. Fan for 1 year & subscriber...👍🧡
Wow, such a timely message for me right now!! I turned 71 yesterday. Most people say I look a LOT younger but I am 71!! I have been on Match, Eharmony and Plenty of Fish!! Have not met anyone worthy of my time. Just haven't and I am so very lonely. I pray that the LOVE OF MY LIFE comes along soon, I am just about ready to give up! Ladies, we all know that MOST men our age want someone 20 younger. It is sad but true!! My best wishes to all of you who, like myself, are looking for a real love, not just a superficial one!! i am so happy for you, Monique!!
Thanks for lovely story. My soon-to-be husband watched with me & enjoyed it! We've also found love late in life, when we'd almost given up, and are so happy! 💕 Very happy for you too 💓
Thank you for telling me your love story..After 2 divorces and awful dating afterwards I finally found the love off my life..3yrs later and we are amazing together...keep smiling lovely lady.xx
Julie Greer Doesn’t it make you wonder why you did not meet through your mutual friends! Do people meet through friends any more? Very happy for you, Julie. ☺️ Quite inspiring is Monique’s story, your story and other women’s happy couplings 🙏👍🌿🌞♥️
Aww! Monique...that was such a Beautiful Love Story to hear! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! How Incredible, that just as you're talking about the love of your life, a heart out of nowhere appears in the sky! Just Amazing! Everyone who's been following you for sometime obviously knows what a Wonderful man Howard is. When you spoke of how he sweetly wet a cloth, lifted your hair & gently cooled your overheated neck, & then lovingly blew on the nape of your neck to further cool you.... Girlfriend, I think Every Single Woman watching this video collectively sighed at the same time, and thought...Now That Is a Man for Keeps!!! I think exactly the way you started your relationship, & how it progressed, was absolutely perfect! I think if more people took the time to "take it slow", there would be more Real heart connections. I'm so happy for you both! I can really sense your joy & contentedness. You have your perfect man, & now your perfect dream home that you are creating together.... What more could anyone ask for. Bless you both. I was awfully shocked to hear how Howard's "friends" treated him in regards to dating you! What kind of "friends" think they have the right to tell a grown man how to run his life!? Just Unbelieveable! Well, as they say... Often things happen for a reason, & it's obvious these people weren't Really TRUE friends, so it's for the best that he cut them loose. Sounds like He was way too good for them! It's obvious Howard is a down to earth, & heartfelt man, the former "friends" sound all "hoity- toity." He made the right decision by choosing Wonderful YOU!!! Have an Incredible & Awesome 3rd Anniversary get-away, falling in love all over again, back in the place where it all began. 💞 👩❤️💋👨💗💞
Sometimes, we never leave the schoolyard. Friends develop cliques that morph into something way too controlling. However, your eyes have sparkled ever since you met Howard and I am so happy for you. I've watched you struggle and grow and find love-all on UA-cam. God bless you both!
Omg I’ve watched her videos for so long, I still love seeing your make-up vids!!! Makes me wanna do some makeup while watching and it’s 4 am here 😂🥰🥰🥰 stay safe! Loved hearing your story btw made me feel so nice 👍
I so needed to hear this love story today as I've been struggling with his parents rejection. Love brought him back to me and we will power thru as one. You are gorgeous, authentic and wise.
I've heard alot of relationship stories but I have never heard of losing friends over a girlfriend they have never met. Sounds like there is a missing piece to the story. Friendships are hard to come by too.
Biggest question, was it female or male friends who disagreed with the new relationship? In my instance they were female friends who wanted my man to remain single, otherwise it changed the dynamics of the group for him to be married. Thank goodness my man could see through the manipulation. It's been 34 yrs and we have the kind of relationship you only dream of best friends, best lovers and best soulmates.
Loved the heart!! Amazing since you were telling your Love story. Im having my coffee this morning, watching my foal and dog play while listening to you and catch your make up. Finally connecting at 54 for me with the love of my life. So I can truely relate to your great story. Thanks for sharing. Everyone tells us We need to make a movie about our story. Lol. Im so glad you found "the one." ♡
I married the man of my dreams when a was 40. We then had a baby a year later (our baby is now 11). This wonderful man took care of me and my then 4 yr old son after an awful divorce i got when I was 38. Our first date was Phantom of the Opera and is was a magical evening! Been in love ever since.
What a lovely love story! And, friends that aren’t happy for you being happy are not friends. You both sound blessed to have found each other - because it IS hard to find the right one. Happy for you that you found yours!
I'm happy for you both, Monique & Howard! ❤🤗 Omg when I saw the ❤ I had tears of joy for you both. Have a blast in Santa Barbara!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS!!! ❤u both. 🤗
God Bless the two of you ❤️ I really enjoyed your love story & wonderful to hear it's still going strong. It left hope in my world being a 59 yr old single mom. Thank you Monique 🌹 enjoy your day 😘
Wow. 1:1 me. 😂 Hello, Girlfriend. 👋 A bit scary to venture out. But I might... when I am not tired - one of my friends started laughing after this excuse. Oh, I am so FOR love.... but also so not looking forward to frogs....So very happy for Monique and her love ♥️♥️
So after 3 years his “friends” can’t get on board... ? 🙄He’s a big boy who is the master of his own destiny and is smart enough to know when his life partner shows up! (❤️☁️)
People ( friends and family) can be so strange with their opinions about your life, your relationship even when they appear to be in stable relationships you would think they would want the best for you. It’s best to carry on your own way , keep building that solid structure. It’s beautiful what you and Howard have built together . Glad you found each other.
Such a nice video with such a sweet, positive message! I am so happy for you, I remember sad times you shared with us years ago, and I am so glad things have turned out so wonderfully. Thank you for sharing your story and your life with us. Have a wonderful anniversary!
Just wanted to say this is the reason why I love and am always inspired by you; not just because you are beautiful - because you are always, unapologetically YOU!! I love the honesty, openness and hope, you share each time you upload. ⭐️
Feels like something else is going on here. Hidden agendas are the pits. Love makes everything worthwhile, and is the only thing that grows, the more you give away. I wish you the best. I found the love of my life when I was 47 and he was 56 and married a while later. If only he had come along in my 20’s. Sigh. So, you’re right. Putting conditions on a relationship limits you a LOT.
Pause at 17:42 His past friends of " conditions ", who left him based on him spending time with you, the best love of his life. Is the only sad part of your love-story. I'd like to say that as far as friendships like those were, his life is enriched now, because of " his choices " on his hearts desire..that being you. I love your videos & not just for the invaluable make-up teachings, but also for your personality. Which is highly stylish & Authentic. I'm 54yrs & beginning my new lease on life. With your help. Thankyou for sharing this amazing part of your life !!
Great love story. I think Howard's friends were jealous of you. You have it all, looks talent personality compassion & a great work ethic. Have a wonderful time on celebrating your anniversary. Many blessings to you both 💕😘
I am just so happy for you. I saw the look on your face when you first introduce to your utube followers you have a new love interest and I said he is the one. Be prepared to get engaged very soon!
Some people are just meant to be part of your history as you move forward. Be happy with yourself. I'm so glad you are finally happy. Stay away from toxic people and always stay positive. 💝
Such a beautiful love story! Those "friends" were clearly not his friends!! Because they would be supportive regardless of if they liked or disliked you or the relationship. If it didn't work out well, they would be there to pick up the pieces! That's what true friends do! Those who matter won't mind who you're with or what you choose to do with your life. Those who mind?? Well they just don't matter!! Happy anniversary to you both xxx
I had to pause, not even a minute in, a comment on your wonderful little side comment...."ah, birds" and then just went on. How cute is that!! I just started watching your videos and subscribed after 2 of them. I love how you explain everything so well and put everything below in the description. I love how you don't mind showing us yourself without make-up and many other things. Thank you! I look forward to more of your videos.
The most authentic I've ever seen, or heard you Monique, and I've been subbed for years. "Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have~ but I have it." Lana del Rey Goodonya. Cheers to you, and to "Harry" aka Howard. You both hit the jackpot. PS; regarding H's alleged "friends"... it was their loss. Not H's and most definitely? Not yours. ;-[)
At 67 and the bod not even near yours, I think I am going to fold up my tent of hopes of love. Just getting to be too tired to be as grateful as men want me to be for the gift of their attention . That special one love will have to wait until the next lifetime. But I love to hear stories. Love ya bunches right back!
I'm so happy for you!!! Everyone deserves to find someone to love and to be love. My Sweetie and I have been married almost 45 years and I would do it all again. Was it all perfect? Hell no, but we made it and we still love each other. Thank you for sharing!
What a lovely love story. Be very very happy, Monique and Howard. We have 27 years under our belts now with a love which surprises us each day by its ability to keep growing. I wish you the same 💞💞
I met the love of my life 27+ years ago. No computer or cell.We had local newspaper ad,the "personals".He answered my ad.We didn't meet for 3 months! We had phone calls everyday/night. I fell in love the First night we met. We took things slow. We had many obstacles to go thru. We were married 2yrs. Later. Love is the most powerful thing in the world!
I just discovered you!!!! You are amazing!!!! You’re beautiful, intelligent and hilarious. Very relatable. Sadly, I was not as fortunate in my online dating experience. 🥺 I’m 52 and trying to still believe in love. Big Hugs from Santa Cruz 🏄♀️
What a perfect place for a first date! The Getty! Only other place might be LACMA! If I were looking a man capable of enjoying Museums, history sites would be in the top few. You spent time talking every night, it shows real effort to remember that 8pm call, but then when you are together you have to keep that daily communication time going or it’s too easy to lose communication. (Sad sigh)
So happy for you! I am 57 and have a similar story to yours. I thank God every day for blessing me with this wonderful man who shows me more than than all of them men in my life combined. There is a lot to be said for living in gratitude as you do too. Blessings to you both!
Feel like my dear friend is telling me her love story. I am enthralled. So happy for you. You so deserve love! I am glad you found your "person." Yay for love! Yay for anniversaries!!! Yay for Howard and Monique!
Happy Anniversary! ❤ I always love your videos ,you are such a genuine and pleasant person it feels like chatting with a good friend (plus I learn very helpful make up tips!😁) I hope you have a wonderful get away and fall even more in love!🥰 (My love will lift my hair and blow on my neck to cool me off during my crazy hot flashes and it made me smile when you mentioned that yours did that)
I love her so much She is so fun! ... my mum met the love of her life after dad died. He had been gone for 6-yrs when she met Robert. My mum Elizabeth was 75-yrs young and he was 77-yrs. She sold the family home and moved in with Robert the following year. They have been together ever since. That was 12-yrs ago. But he is the love of her life. My dad was a nice guy. But he wasn't the best husband. She is now adored as she should be! Not everyone is embittered by their previous relationships. You needn't be a slave to your past!!
Wow so so amazing the ❤️ in the sky as you were telling us about your love ❤️ story!!! Thats a sure sign of love!!Your blessed to have each other! You were made for each other!!! Xoxo❤️❣️❤️ so enjoyed your a delight!!! You don’t have to edit your a natural😄
Monique your love story touched my heart and mu husbands as it resonated totally with how we met and fell in love 20 years ago.. been married 18 years we are soulmates and we too celebrate how blessed we are every day. So so happy for you that you found the love of your life too ❤ 💗 💖 💕 ♥
Omg when the eye shadow sprayed on your lower lid, that happens to me almost every time I do powder eye liner, I thought I was the only one. 😆 I’m very happy for you and your love, may you have many happy years together.
Maybe the heart was a sign from the Love Gods, saying you finally have "The One". What are the chances of a heart appearing in the sky, while talking about your love story?
I met my guy when we were both in our late 30's and we both turned 50 this year. We were great friends for 2 years before we realized there was something else we should explore a bit further. It took me nearly 40 years to realize that kindness & respect mean much more than great passion and drama (we've had a bit of both in our time, though, you betcha!) I enjoyed your story so much. The heart in the sky only happens to magical people like you!
I was a new mom at 30 and divorced at 31 swore I would never marry again until this kind gentle sweet man came along and I said lord if he’s the one you better give me a sign a big sign and I got sick this man took the best care of me and my daughter and never left our side I thought if he stuck around for all that he’s definitely a keeper. I was 40 and he was 45 and we’ve been married for 18 years. Happy anniversary to you and Howard .
Wow, great love story, thank you for sharing Bonnie :)
I had just turned 60 when I finally met the man I was always supposed to be with. He is 8 yrs. younger than me, but he put in his profile a range of 45-60. Lucky me! He also lived 53 miles away (in San Diego). I will be 75 next month and we've been married 10 yrs. Yes, it is hard, but very possible, at any age 🥰
Trish LovesFashion I was 46 and the love of my life was 39... thirteen years later and still on cloud nine 😍
Love this ladies!
Oh my gosh if THAT'S not inspirational than I really don't know what is!
Congratulations to you, truly!
There is hope for all of us.
I'm going to be 60 soon,I haven't met anyone yet,🙄

Your entire face changes when you talk about Howard and about your relationship. You start to glow. Your features and your voice soften. It’s SO clear how much you love and are loved.
Long story short, met my husband when I was 16, we’ve been lovingly married for 55 years. My friend, my soul mate, my protector ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Love this.❤️❤️
Love to hear that👍👍
So glad you added protector. I’ve never had that. I m so happy for you
Found my husband at 52. Been married for 18 years. Happy anniversary!!
Hi Ollie, how's your day going with you?
56 4 years ago!
It happened for me!!!
Like you we talked on the phone after texting for ages
It tuck only two weeks before we got together for the first time!
We have been together ever since!
And it will last forever!!!
Came to it with an open book nothing hidden!
Scars and all!!!
But we are still getting to know each other...
Something different everyday!!!!

And try hard at it too!
Surprises help!
Kindness, honestly, sharing,

Omg, do you have a brother?! Lol!
I met the love of my life at 50. We’re 6 years strong and I couldn’t be happier. ♥️♥️
♥️♥️
Lucky girl! Congrats!
Congratulations!
There is nothing like TRUE love in our 50's!! ❤
@@debg6886 How about in your 70's!!
@@denisepaulsenful Oh for sure! In your 70's too! It's never too late! Lol
I found my true love at 45, he’s 12 years younger than me! We have been together for 20 years, and married since 2004. Best decision of my life 🥰
my Love is too almost 17 years younger but we are Soulmates and it is the sweetest and strongest Love I ever had 💞💞💞

My son met a “woman“ at his very large company’s Christmas Party. His two older brothers were also there - thus the description “ woman “.
I was the one who urged him to go. He was not really interested in meeting anyone - too jaded from other girls and too shy. But he went.
The “ woman “ and my son hit it off and after a couple of weeks, they started dating.
He was 31 and she was 46. She has 2 younger children aged 8 and 10. And she also had an older daughter ( 21 ) from a first marriage.
They have been together for over a year and are very happy.
We, his parents, are also thrilled for them. The age difference means nothing to us. ♥️
@@carmenana4890 thank you for posting this. My new, um friend was looking way too young for me to feel comfortable with the age difference. Glad to know there's nothing we can't handle
whenever I watch your videos I always feel better and a wave of positivity
I am so very happy for you. Xoxoxo
Love is wonderful. I've been married 43 years and I still love my husband. Messy, hard, challenging, loving, hating, euphoric and crappy. 3 kids and 5 grandkids later we are glad we stuck it out. The rewards are sooo great. So happy for you Monique!
Congratulations on your 3 years with your love,
I met my love when I was 38 with three children, he was 21 never married, he thought I was 25🙄, when we were together weeks he asked me to marry him I said No I don't know you that well,6 mos he asked again I said No your young, I have 3 children youngest was 3 and a half, well time went on after3 years we married, this coming year on February 14th we will be celebrating our 30 year anniversary! I always say love comes when you least expected, My husband is the Best thing that ever happened to me, besides my children..❤❤❤💋💋💋💋
Wow, congrats!
Oh my god! A heart in the sky when you’re telling a love story. I LOVE IT!!! 🥰🙏👌
I only started following you a short time ago. I’m 73 and love your videos, I’ve picked up some useful makeup tips. This brought a tear to my eye. Be happy always 💕
How wonderful. As someone who fell in love 43 years ago and am so grateful every day, I understand. Love is all there is.
I've had the extreme honor, and pleasure of watching you set down tender roots in L.A. again with a new vision, a dream, and a purpose for your life, both professionally, and personally. You tended to your roots, you began to grow, you flourished, you flowered, and you blossomed right before my very eyes, Monique! I was so thrilled for you as your career path allowed you to beautifully represent yourself as well as all of us gals as we discover, learn, and appreciate the love, beauty, and blessings of being over the age of fifty! I was absolutely tickled when it appeared that you found a new life partner who fell 'in like', and then 'in love' with you, who respected you, who was kind, conscientious, and incredibly loyal, and who was willing to work just as hard at building, and maintaining a strong, happy, and understanding relationship with you! Howard appeared to be supportive, committed, and passionate, and I suspect he is absolutely 'your soft place to fall', Monique! I am so happy for you, Beautiful! I, too, found my 'soft place to fall', and in July, we have been together for twenty-four years! Over the years we have gone through so many significant life challenges together, yet we've come through the other side even stronger, wiser, and more committed to each other! I wish that for the two of you too, Sweetheart! Enjoy the celebration of the third year of your wonderful love story, Monique, and thanks so very much for sharing it with us today! Happy Anniversary, guys! Love, and hugs, always, Monique, Sherrey 🎉🎆💗🥂💗🎆🎉
The woman that was his friend wanted more then from him I am sure. When you came into the picture she knew she didn't have a chance of having anything more than friendship.
My husband and I have the kind of relationship you only dream of. We feel it was fate because of the circumstances under which we met. His friends and my friends were jealous because they could see we only had eyes for each other. His friends wanted him single because that way he could be there for them, not caring about his feelings. We laugh now because most of them are divorced and we're still going strong.
Beautiful story! Friends who are not happy for you when you’re happy those are not real friends! Better to have a great partner than fake friends! 💕
When people put conditions on friendship, they aren't true friends. So happy for you, Monique. Wishing you and your love a long and happy life together.
Well said!
You NEVER let friends CHOOSE whom you date....never,ever...you and Howard are such a perfect match....and you both did it on your own...amazing love...❤
Dating is very hard...for a woman wanting a traditional good,kind, caring and Godly man....its just not there anymore...sad in a horrible,horrible way...so it's not worth it...
With friends like that, who needs enemies.
So pleased you two found each other. Savour every moment ❤️
Glad Howard has his own mind and didn't alow someone to rule his life. Friends like that are not friends, just manipulators. Happy anniversary. ❤️
Yay a a moment with Monique and a story!
15 minutes in .. im In love with this man 🤣👌
You deserve so much happiness 😊
You're one that I automatically hit the thumbs-up b4 watching.
Me too 😘😘
me too =-)
Me too!
Me too!
My husband always says, "the heart wants what the heart wants" and Howard listened to his heart. Good for him. Blessings to you on your 3rd anniversary!
I have been MIA from your channel - and have just come back to watch some of your recent uploads - this was a great one to get me all caught up. I like to work and listen to your commentary - and then toggle back every now and again to see how you have transformed yourself make-up wise. I have missed your funny comments like, "When in doubt, play it safe...with make-up, that is." I am so glad you have found soulmate love.
The situation with the friends would have been taken care of if they had just given you a chance. You are an amazing person! Sorry for Howard losing them, but that can’t be very good friends to begin with. 💕
Rhonda It’s true, a good friend would be happy for his happiness...and would be supportive and wonderful to the woman he loves.
m brights Exactly 😊
I agree. What kind of friends would do this? I think, it's the kind of friends you can live without. Hopefully some of them will come around.
Howard must be a strong person.
Those are not friends you want to keep. No loss there! Good grief, that’s so immature and selfish of them to make judgments on someone that makes them happy. Color of hair, skin, age or certain qualifications is not equal to what they think is the right person?
Ha! I’m 74 and was married for 24 years. He left me 35 years ago. It took me a few years to get over it all but then I tried dating. Nothing bad happened but nothing good either. Then I met the love of my life: my granddaughter, Karma Delilah! I became very involved with caring for her because her mom, my daughter had to work since she is a widow. I realized somewhere along the way that I had trusted my husband so much and he was my best friend and yet I had been deceived. I just didn’t want to ... actually I just could NOT ... trust again. Didn’t want to put myself out there. So I’m single and fine!
Amen...I have big trust issues too...just me and my cat...
Besides having our name in common your story is very similar to mine in more ways than 1. I have two beautiful granddaughters. I have been divorced now for 5 years. All though I do get extremely lonely at times and COVID doesn’t help. I am happy now. 😊
@@wandastevens3183 Sorry! I didn’t know someone had responded. Yup! It’s hard! I even lost my girlfriends and my church! Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with me. Sometimes I cry. But not often. I have 5 cats...only 2 like to come inside. And 2 dogs. All rescues. Well, they rescued me, of course. My days and nights are mixed up. But who cares? Lol
@@robyndeddens6658 I get lonely a couple of times a year. But I snap myself out of it! I REFUSE to do that! Too many books to read and too many naps to take! What REALLY got me down this summer is my 17 year old granddaughter doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. And she hasn’t for 6 months. And I’m not sure why. I was sick at first, my heart was breaking for I love her so very much. I have written her, called and texted. She did text with me a few weeks ago for about 15 minutes. Anyway, I can’t let my well-being rest on an 18 year old. Her b-day is Friday. So, I just remember how much she loved me when she was little and move on. It’s called self-preservation. What else can we do but move forward?
@@robinholbrook6576 Robin I am sorry to hear about your granddaughter, having grandchildren is so darn special. It could be just a phase she is going through. What helps me is I look for the positive knowing that something good will happen and I look toward the next hour or even the day! I have my 3 dogs that keep me company and so loved. You are special Robin. 🙂
I am really happy for you and Howard, I lost the love of my life back in 2005, and unfortunately haven't been able to find anyone but life goes on and your story is a awesome one, enjoy your time together and stay safe. Girl Power ✌️
I've got so many things going on in my life or let's say NOT going on😏 I just listened .know matter what age, it's never to late to find love. 💞 Back to your face,This is a little thing I do when I get those nasty bumps, which I think is nervous stomach 🙄 I eat more of my plain Greek yogurt than I usually do and a dab a little bit on my bump ,gone in no time. Works for me. Have a wonderful time on your date! 🌞
I cannot even image his friends not approving of you. You are authentic, funny, intelligent and very likable. Congratulations.
I needed to hear this today, you are so right on everything you said. I cannot believe his friends would not give you a chance...I can't imagine anyone not liking you...I remember all the things you went thru 💔 when you were telling them. I am so glad you both have each other. Happy Anniversary 😊 and hugs from NC!
I am so happy for you Monique.I have been here from the early days.I am single 57 and I can never trust again.If I can't trust my husband ( now ex ) having been married for 37 years.I can't trust anyone.I know this unsays what you have just shared.This is my experience.❤️
Oh my goodness love it. My husband and I met online and we have been married for 19 years. We met in November and married in July the next year. I still feel he was a blessing from God. I love your shirt too!
I remember posting a comment on how happy you looked when you first told us about Howard. It's been lovely to follow your story together. Here's to many more years of happiness! 🥂
Oh my goodness, I love that he ordered you dinner and you had FaceTime dates! Just the cutest thing! 💕
I love this “crazy” lady. That’s exactly my philosophy of life. I’ve been called this kind of crazy many times 🙄. Love her energy!!! Thanks for sharing your story. 💓
I’m happy if you’re happy...just be on the lookout for some red flags - I find it odd that friends would disown him when they haven’t even met you. And not just one but many. I’m afraid there’s something more to that story that he’s not sharing. Or maybe he doesn’t have close friends and doesn’t want to admit that to you...or is using the “I gave up my friends for you“ as a way to manipulate you. Just be careful out there! I hope I’m wrong!! You’re a beautiful person inside and out and deserve only the best.
Yes! I second every word of that! Especially that she deserves the best.
I agree about the red flags. If friends are not willing to meet the lady of a 3 year relationship, what is the exact reason? It would only think this makes sense if there is a "hidden life". If you know what I mean. I hope I am wrong.
The telling of a love story and then a heart appears in the clear blue sky. Wow. So romantic. Thrilled for you and Howsrd!
What a lovely story! I'm so happy for you both. I was 52 and my hubby 56 when we became a couple. I got warned about him, but it's been 13 years and I haven't regretted a moment. When you're willing to put in the work it can become something extraordinary; I do so agree with that. Have a great anniversary!
Hi Mary, how's your day going with you?
Found my guy 2 years ago. He’s 59, I’m 60. I’m so grateful. I love your love story.
You find true love when you stop looking. That’s how it happen to me 18 yrs ago. Were so much more in love then ever
Best love story ever! Sky heart and Midnight Oil too?!?! Your love is divinely inspired with the best omens ever!!!!! Wow!! Absolutely love you and am so happy for you both!!!! Thank you for sharing the dream lovely man we all pray happens to cross our paths too one day! We love Howard even more now!!! And you are beautiful. !!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💖
Great story. Enjoy your time away. Much respect to Howard for choosing Howard.
♥️ ❤️ ♥️
I found the love of my life at 50. It’s been 13 years
Not sure where you're at with menopause, but can you share what impact it has on a new love relationship? Meeting someone and shortly after, going through menopause, I can't imagine it, and no one talks about it. Menopause is such a big deal and such a big taboo at the same time.
I see so many women dumped around menopause, or, if single, unable to find a lasting partner. Your story is truly inspirational.
Maria
I completely understand you, Maria!
And let me tell you that there is really a way.... and it is actually very simple... I have found and proved it myself... to not only avoid all those problems from "menopause", but to actually avoid this thing at all!!! As incredible as it sounds... it is truly totally possible! It takes much discipline, though, and a strong will... a real desire and determination to change things, because even though the method is very simple, it is hard to put it in practice, as it involves a TOTAL CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE. Yet, the final outcome is SOOOO IMMENSELY REWARDING!!!! SO MAGNIFICENT THAT WOU WILL NEVER REGRET ALL THE HARD WORK!!
I can only encourage everyone to give it a try and see the magic for themselves! ✨🤩✨
I have understood and realised by personal experience that menopause is not something we are subjected to and cannot escape... same as ageing!!! It is all like any other disease... it is just the body suffering a malfunction and it can totally be healed and reversed! How? It is actually EXTREMELY SIMPLE. The truth is very simple. The simpler something is, the truer. It has all to do with the purification of the body by simply stopping all our actions that contaminate it. I have found tricks to make this easier too and to get to a very pure state very fast. I share all of it for free on my youtube channel. Coming to this knowledge has been the biggest revelation and success in my life. It's all through personal experiencing, testing things for many years by myself, on my own body and observing... learning from all the changes taking place in my whole being... not just on a physical level, but also on all other levels... encompassing the WHOLE of me, which includes my reality as well... the story I live and keep creating/manifesting in my own life... this has been a total game changer for me AT ALL LEVELS!! And I am very happy to share and inspire others, because I see no "others", but extensions of me.... we are all in this together... we all share the same soul/energy on a deep level... at our core.
I have seen not only women healing and reversing "menopause" and "ageing", but so many other diseases, as well as men and children, animals, etc. Seeing these "miracles" unfold, how others who apply the same principles I do, go through the same experience of reversing problems and awakening to more truth about themselves - A SELF DISCOVERY - has been so incredibly inspiring for me to keep on going with my discoveries and continue sharing them as best as I can with the whole world! ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟 ✨💝🌟✨
I'd like to know more on menopause too. Im reaching 49 next month so not sure what to expect
I'm 48 and have been having symptoms of perimenopause for years. I haven't had a period in 18 months but I still have an internal body temperature of 4000 degrees. 🥵 I've no advice on the relationship side of things though, I'm divorced and content on my own.
Omg! Yes! Me too! I am 53 and I get the sweats and mood swings ! Would like to know where you are in your life with menopause as well and how you handle it!
I agree but a real Good Mature man will accept a partners love in many forms. Monique is a very vivacious Youthful 54 yr old. Just look at her! He probably puts her on a PedestaL like a ReaLife Queen! Wayyd it go & Yes Very Inspirational Upbeat Life changing tuber. Fan for 1 year & subscriber...👍🧡
Wow, such a timely message for me right now!! I turned 71 yesterday. Most people say I look a LOT younger but I am 71!! I have been on Match, Eharmony and Plenty of Fish!! Have not met anyone worthy of my time. Just haven't and I am so very lonely. I pray that the LOVE OF MY LIFE comes along soon, I am just about ready to give up! Ladies, we all know that MOST men our age want someone 20 younger. It is sad but true!! My best wishes to all of you who, like myself, are looking for a real love, not just a superficial one!! i am so happy for you, Monique!!
Thanks for lovely story. My soon-to-be husband watched with me & enjoyed it! We've also found love late in life, when we'd almost given up, and are so happy! 💕 Very happy for you too 💓
I love the way she tells the stories detailed with emotions and fun to hear!
Thank you for telling me your love story..After 2 divorces and awful dating afterwards I finally found the love off my life..3yrs later and we are amazing together...keep smiling lovely lady.xx
Please share how u met!
@@r.melindar.1349 we actually meet on a dating site and it turned out we had mutual friends so all was good.xx

Doesn’t it make you wonder why you did not meet through your mutual friends! Do people meet through friends any more? Very happy for you, Julie. ☺️ Quite inspiring is Monique’s story, your story and other women’s happy couplings 🙏👍🌿🌞♥️
@@ArtU4All None of my friend know anyone for me to meet either☹
Aww! Monique...that was such a Beautiful Love Story to hear! Thank you so much for sharing that with us! How Incredible, that just as you're talking about the love of your life, a heart out of nowhere appears in the sky! Just Amazing!
Everyone who's been following you for sometime obviously knows what a Wonderful man Howard is. When you spoke of how he sweetly wet a cloth, lifted your hair & gently cooled your overheated neck, & then lovingly blew on the nape of your neck to further cool you.... Girlfriend, I think Every Single Woman watching this video collectively sighed at the same time, and thought...Now That Is a Man for Keeps!!!
I think exactly the way you started your relationship, & how it progressed, was absolutely perfect! I think if more people took the time to "take it slow", there would be more Real heart connections. I'm so happy for you both! I can really sense your joy & contentedness. You have your perfect man, & now your perfect dream home that you are creating together.... What more could anyone ask for. Bless you both.
I was awfully shocked to hear how Howard's "friends" treated him in regards to dating you! What kind of "friends" think they have the right to tell a grown man how to run his life!? Just Unbelieveable! Well, as they say... Often things happen for a reason, & it's obvious these people weren't Really TRUE friends, so it's for the best that he cut them loose. Sounds like He was way too good for them! It's obvious Howard is a down to earth, & heartfelt man, the former "friends" sound all "hoity- toity." He made the right decision by choosing Wonderful YOU!!!
Have an Incredible & Awesome 3rd Anniversary get-away, falling in love all over again, back in the place where it all began. 💞 👩❤️💋👨💗💞
I so agree with you.
Monique’s role in the “friends” context turned out to be that if a litmus test to weed out users...
Sometimes, we never leave the schoolyard. Friends develop cliques that morph into something way too controlling. However, your eyes have sparkled ever since you met Howard and I am so happy for you. I've watched you struggle and grow and find love-all on UA-cam. God bless you both!
"Going back to keep falling in love"
that's such a beautiful thing to say!💜
Omg I’ve watched her videos for so long, I still love seeing your make-up vids!!! Makes me wanna do some makeup while watching and it’s 4 am here 😂🥰🥰🥰 stay safe! Loved hearing your story btw made me feel so nice 👍
I so needed to hear this love story today as I've been struggling with his parents rejection. Love brought him back to me and we will power thru as one. You are gorgeous, authentic and wise.
That love story was wonderful!! And the smokey heart in the sky was just meant to be. So glad you are so happy again! Faith Falcone
I've heard alot of relationship stories but I have never heard of losing friends over a girlfriend they have never met. Sounds like there is a missing piece to the story. Friendships are hard to come by too.
Biggest question, was it female or male friends who disagreed with the new relationship? In my instance they were female friends who wanted my man to remain single, otherwise it changed the dynamics of the group for him to be married. Thank goodness my man could see through the manipulation. It's been 34 yrs and we have the kind of relationship you only dream of best friends, best lovers and best soulmates.
Loved the heart!! Amazing since you were telling your Love story. Im having my coffee this morning, watching my foal and dog play while listening to you and catch your make up. Finally connecting at 54 for me with the love of my life. So I can truely relate to your great story. Thanks for sharing. Everyone tells us We need to make a movie about our story. Lol. Im so glad you found "the one." ♡
I married the man of my dreams when a was 40. We then had a baby a year later (our baby is now 11). This wonderful man took care of me and my then 4 yr old son after an awful divorce i got when I was 38. Our first date was Phantom of the Opera and is was a magical evening! Been in love ever since.
I found my love and have been with him since 11/11/11 💚💚💚
What a lovely love story! And, friends that aren’t happy for you being happy are not friends. You both sound blessed to have found each other - because it IS hard to find the right one. Happy for you that you found yours!
I'm happy for you both, Monique & Howard! ❤🤗 Omg when I saw the ❤ I had tears of joy for you both. Have a blast in Santa Barbara!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS!!! ❤u both. 🤗
God Bless the two of you ❤️ I really enjoyed your love story & wonderful to hear it's still going strong. It left hope in my world being a 59 yr old single mom. Thank you Monique 🌹 enjoy your day 😘
Aww sweetie, your love story is so beautiful, may God continue blessing you're love .
Thanks for sharing loved your story. I’m 61. Been divorced twice. Haven’t been looking much but maybe someday I’ll find one like that
Wow. 1:1 me. 😂
Hello, Girlfriend. 👋
A bit scary to venture out. But I might... when I am not tired - one of my friends started laughing after this excuse. Oh, I am so FOR love.... but also so not looking forward to frogs....So very happy for Monique and her love ♥️♥️
So after 3 years his “friends” can’t get on board... ? 🙄He’s a big boy who is the master of his own destiny and is smart enough to know when his life partner shows up! (❤️☁️)
People ( friends and family) can be so strange with their opinions about your life, your relationship even when they appear to be in stable relationships you would think they would want the best for you. It’s best to carry on your own way , keep building that solid structure. It’s beautiful what you and Howard have built together . Glad you found each other.
Such a nice video with such a sweet, positive message! I am so happy for you, I remember sad times you shared with us years ago, and I am so glad things have turned out so wonderfully. Thank you for sharing your story and your life with us. Have a wonderful anniversary!
Just wanted to say this is the reason why I love and am always inspired by you; not just because you are beautiful - because you are always, unapologetically YOU!! I love the honesty, openness and hope, you share each time you upload. ⭐️
Feels like something else is going on here.
Hidden agendas are the pits. Love makes everything worthwhile, and is the only thing that grows, the more you give away. I wish you the best. I found the love of my life when I was 47 and he was 56 and married a while later. If only he had come along in my 20’s. Sigh. So, you’re right. Putting conditions on a relationship limits you a LOT.
Pause at 17:42
His past friends of " conditions ", who left him based on him spending time with you, the best love of his life. Is the only sad part of your love-story.
I'd like to say that as far as friendships like those were, his life is enriched now, because of " his choices " on his hearts desire..that being you.
I love your videos & not just for the invaluable make-up teachings, but also for your personality. Which is highly stylish & Authentic.
I'm 54yrs & beginning my new lease on life.
With your help. Thankyou for sharing this amazing part of your life !!
OH MY GOD That Heart in the Sky! Wow
Great love story. I think Howard's friends were jealous of you. You have it all, looks talent personality compassion & a great work ethic. Have a wonderful time on celebrating your anniversary. Many blessings to you both 💕😘
I am just so happy for you. I saw the look on your face when you first introduce to your utube followers you have a new love interest and I said he is the one.
Be prepared to get engaged very soon!
Some people are just meant to be part of your history as you move forward. Be happy with yourself. I'm so glad you are finally happy. Stay away from toxic people and always stay positive. 💝
Such a beautiful love story! Those "friends" were clearly not his friends!! Because they would be supportive regardless of if they liked or disliked you or the relationship. If it didn't work out well, they would be there to pick up the pieces! That's what true friends do! Those who matter won't mind who you're with or what you choose to do with your life. Those who mind?? Well they just don't matter!! Happy anniversary to you both xxx
I had to pause, not even a minute in, a comment on your wonderful little side comment...."ah, birds" and then just went on. How cute is that!! I just started watching your videos and subscribed after 2 of them. I love how you explain everything so well and put everything below in the description. I love how you don't mind showing us yourself without make-up and many other things. Thank you! I look forward to more of your videos.
The most authentic I've ever seen, or heard you Monique, and I've been subbed for years.
"Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have~ but I have it." Lana del Rey
Goodonya.
Cheers to you, and to "Harry" aka Howard. You both hit the jackpot.
PS; regarding H's alleged "friends"... it was their loss. Not H's and most definitely? Not yours. ;-[)
At 67 and the bod not even near yours, I think I am going to fold up my tent of hopes of love. Just getting to be too tired to be as grateful as men want me to be for the gift of their attention . That special one love will have to wait until the next lifetime. But I love to hear stories. Love ya bunches right back!
I'm so happy for you!!! Everyone deserves to find someone to love and to be love. My Sweetie and I have been married almost 45 years and I would do it all again. Was it all perfect? Hell no, but we made it and we still love each other. Thank you for sharing!
What a lovely love story. Be very very happy, Monique and Howard. We have 27 years under our belts now with a love which surprises us each day by its ability to keep growing. I wish you the same 💞💞
Oh my. Love the heart in the sky.
I met the love of my life 27+ years ago. No computer or cell.We had local newspaper ad,the "personals".He answered my ad.We didn't meet for 3 months! We had phone calls everyday/night. I fell in love the First night we met. We took things slow. We had many obstacles to go thru. We were married 2yrs. Later. Love is the most powerful thing in the world!
I just discovered you!!!! You are amazing!!!! You’re beautiful, intelligent and hilarious. Very relatable. Sadly, I was not as fortunate in my online dating experience. 🥺 I’m 52 and trying to still believe in love. Big Hugs from Santa Cruz 🏄♀️
Such a joy to listen to your love story. I never watched you before but this was a great start. I’m 80 and still looking.
Hi Judith, how's your day going with you?
What a perfect place for a first date! The Getty! Only other place might be LACMA! If I were looking a man capable of enjoying Museums, history sites would be in the top few. You spent time talking every night, it shows real effort to remember that 8pm call, but then when you are together you have to keep that daily communication time going or it’s too easy to lose communication. (Sad sigh)
So happy for you! I am 57 and have a similar story to yours. I thank God every day for blessing me with this wonderful man who shows me more than than all of them men in my life combined. There is a lot to be said for living in gratitude as you do too. Blessings to you both!
I hope he proposes on the getaway!!❤❤
Feel like my dear friend is telling me her love story. I am enthralled. So happy for you. You so deserve love! I am glad you found your "person." Yay for love! Yay for anniversaries!!! Yay for Howard and Monique!
Happy Anniversary! ❤ I always love your videos ,you are such a genuine and pleasant person it feels like chatting with a good friend (plus I learn very helpful make up tips!😁) I hope you have a wonderful get away and fall even more in love!🥰 (My love will lift my hair and blow on my neck to cool me off during my crazy hot flashes and it made me smile when you mentioned that yours did that)
That love story is as beautiful and true as you are, Monique.
You look so gorgeous in the "CVS" commercial! Oh yes, I love a good love story.
I love her so much
She is so fun! ... my mum met the love of her life after dad died. He had been gone for 6-yrs when she met Robert. My mum Elizabeth was 75-yrs young and he was 77-yrs. She sold the family home and moved in with Robert the following year. They have been together ever since. That was 12-yrs ago. But he is the love of her life. My dad was a nice guy. But he wasn't the best husband. She is now adored as she should be! Not everyone is embittered by their previous relationships. You needn't be a slave to your past!!

Hi Laura, how's your day going with you?
Monique your love story touched my heart and mu husbands as it resonated totally with how we met and fell in love 20 years ago.. been married 18 years we are soulmates and we too celebrate how blessed we are every day.
So so happy for you that you found the love of your life too ❤ 💗 💖 💕 ♥
I'm very happy for you! I can't wrap my head around his friends though, I've never been in the habit of trying to control someone's love life, crazy.
Beautiful Video , Monique! Wishing you & Howard Happy Anniversary & continued Blessings & Forever 💗
Omg when the eye shadow sprayed on your lower lid, that happens to me almost every time I do powder eye liner, I thought I was the only one. 😆
I’m very happy for you and your love, may you have many happy years together.
Such a beautiful love story and sage advice! A toast to you & Howard, may it continue... 💝
Maybe the heart was a sign from the Love Gods, saying you finally have "The One". What are the chances of a heart appearing in the sky, while talking about your love story?
YES!!!
I met my guy when we were both in our late 30's and we both turned 50 this year. We were great friends for 2 years before we realized there was something else we should explore a bit further. It took me nearly 40 years to realize that kindness & respect mean much more than great passion and drama (we've had a bit of both in our time, though, you betcha!) I enjoyed your story so much. The heart in the sky only happens to magical people like you!
