Just tell Arthur we love him and wish him well. Also remind him how blessed he is to have YOU! Yes, It’s so hard to not be depressed in todays times. But thinking of others close to us, family, friends, our fur babies, doing little kindnesses for others…send cards…gives me Joy! Just saying we need to love everyone we meet! You are such an inspiration and motivator, Sandra! I just love you! At 74, you give me hope for an aging journey like yours! You are so beautiful! Yes, pat YOURSELF on the back for what you do for your followers. Love and blessings, Sandra😍
You are so amazing and savvy in all areas of your life. I enjoy your channel lots. Fantastic bargains on your thrift shopping 🛍. Prayers appreciated for my first chemotherapy round 🙏 i am very weak and bed ridden 5 days now. HUGS and GOD bless us everyone
I used to work with a woman who was the snazziest dresser. I once asked her where she found her amazing clothes and she told me she never buys new. Instead she shops thrift stores! She said it takes some effort to find good clothing but it’s worth it. Very nice video Sandra.
your wisdom is impeccable timing. I am going through health concerns and had to quit my job. Love what you said" It is only temporary" . You ate so right by saying think on the positive. You are very inspiring. Thank you for blessing my day!
Yes, this too shall pass…my mantra thru thyroid cancer, breast cancer, and several squamous cell skin cancers….sounds awful, huh? But prayer gave me comfort and peace as I went thru treatment. I am very much over all that now. But, aging is not much fun in reality (lol) but as Sandra says try to be optimistic! Yes, this too shall pass. Get well soon🙏😍👍
@@deborahvolz3591 thank you. Yes, prayer is very important. Wow you have been through a lot! I hope that you are better. Sounds like you are emotional stronger. Thank youfor the encouragement!
Hi Sandra, You are so amazing. I am 40 years old and your speaking inspired me. I was trying to improve my English by listening to several podcasts and saw one of your videos by chance. I am so glad to introduce with you. Thanks for your energetic comments.
Sandra,sometimes it's a good day& sometimes it's a bad day. The power of positive thinking helps alot as we age. I am almost 74& right now you are reading my mind.Past mistakes,life is so short.. we need to enjoy the air,palm trees,water,sunshine,you know.🧞♀️💞🌴🌺☮👍🥰
Dear you look like a super model! I love thrifshoop too. great place to get the best stuffs for nothing, it always fun to visit shopping you safe so much money. been visit our local Fleet market since 1975 until the close out few years back.
My 16 year old granddaughter and I love Goodwill! And hail to the "linen, cotton" clothing. All that I can wear these days. Linen is expensive so finding a linen piece at a thrift store is like finding a gold mine. 😊 No polyester!! Never again. Love this video. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful wisdom. 😊🤗❤️
I love this channel. Thank you for this channel. How grateful I am for you and your wisdom. Your soul is beautiful. PS. A little secret Its great to shop Goodwill in wealthy areas.
I enjoy thrift stores too! I don’t always find anything, but when I discover a well made blouse with a flattering color and shape, I buy it. I’ve lost a lot of weight so now am giving back my clothes that are in good shape. My daughter lives nearby so we do things together too. Life is good!
I have been watching your videos all day long. While doing macrame crafts, laundry, and cooking. I even had my 9 year old listen to one of your videos, and we both agreed that your voice sounds like (elder) Rose from the Titanic movie. You have a beautiful voice, it’s so calming. Blessing to you and Arthur.
I just found two skirts from Anne Klein and Talbots for $9.00 but the best purchase of all was a round oak table and four oak spindle press back chairs for $70.00 !!! These were at my St. Vincent de Paul’s thrift shop!!! I feel just great about them! I love getting quality items for a lot less!💖💐
dear Sandra, your energy and enthusiam is amazing , you have so much wisdoms love the orange top and the navy top and the beautifull linen dress ✍️ you are a wonderful mentor
Sandra, ALL the clothes you found are fantastic - and the prices?? 👏👏👏‼️ I always enjoy your little chats - thank you so much for sharing, and bringing a little sunshine in my day‼️🙋♀️👍🥰💕🌞☀️🌞
Thanks for this reminder~ setbacks are temporary ~ don't blame yourself ~ Be optimistic " That's the best thing you can do ♥" Thank you Sandra you look so beautiful in all your outfit 😍 you are a true definition of happy living ♥😍
I have just come to view your wonderful videos. I am a single lady aged 71 and live in SWAustralia. I am where you are at with your mental attitude to life etc. I too have not had an easy life but have overcome with knowledge and gratitude. I am finding it a little hard to find like minded persons in my age group as most are hard of hearing or just want me t listen to them so they can download. You are a tonic for me as we are like minded. Please keep on sharing your wisdom and love with us as you are a treasure. Love your creative fashion choices as I love fashion too and especially natural fibres as it gets very hot here 6 months a year. You are ageless and your vitality is infectious. Stay safe and much love to you sister. Shirley ❤️☘️👍😘✝️
I hope you know how very much you are needed by your viewers. Just letting us know we are normal and getting older is a good thing. Thank you for sharing your life and keeping us on track. I appreciate you.
I love Goodwill. I had a therapist who never talked about it but I would always see him at Goodwill. He never bought new and he always wore kakis and a polo shirt. If you take your time to look you can find great things that sometimes still have tags on them. This also helps our planet
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Hearing these videos soothes me so much 💕✨🙏 I wish you and your family all the happiness and joy 💕
I got so excited to see the wonderful and beautiful clothes that you found. Such a wonderful savings. It actually brightened my day. Your optimism always puts a smile on my face. You have that way of taking life experience and taking the good from it and sharing it with us. Thank you from my heart Dear Sandra. Wishing you also, a good day. Regards to you, your husband and your family. Shelley
Good morning from Ontario Canada Sandra, loved the opening of the video showing American thrift store, they are very different than Canadian, your styles and clothing very different , I love American stores and clothes, we do understand and respect Arthur’s privacy, this is your journey and your life we know Arthur is there so just let him know we care, and in this world I agree it’s so hard to be optimistic, I really only watch the news for the weather, and try and focus on my gardening and nature, I try very hard to stay away from negative issues and people, I have found due to Covid people are more cold and hurtful, I just want to respect and show kindness, animals give us unconditional love and they get it more than people, so I agree again animals have a beautiful spirit , thank you again for your Tuesday message, God bless❤️🇨🇦🙏💐🌻🌿🌺👼🏻
Loved this one on optimizam! Mama always said look on the bright side of things, when things get bad, take a look around you, it could be worse, and always be thankful.
Greetings Sandra. Just want to wish you a very happy Mother’s Day weekend. Howdy to Arthur. Great to hear you had a fun day out with your daughter treasure hunting. Kindest regards
Dear Sandra - you are a girl after my own heart. I just adore thrift shopping, too. Much more fun as well as saving money. I find that department stores bore me with rows of identical outfits. Plus, recycling is good for the planet and we all should try it! Thank you for sharing your life with us.🙏. You are a gift to the world. 💕Bee
What a gracious lady so full of wisdom and a good heart. So much love and appreciation for you, sending you well wishes all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Thank you Sandra. I-am not religious but I think god put your videos in my recommendations because I recently made a tough decision to leave my husband after 16 years of verbal abuse and toxic relationship. It's like you are talking to me directly.
Hi Sandra, I am 75 and just yesterday found your channel. My late husband also had paranoid schizophrenia. The disease did not define him. I was married to him for 29years and yes the last 15 years were very difficult. I had four great children with him. I would not have changed anything in my life. However I do not ever share this information with any of my friends or coworkers. I feel they would judge me.(They would not understand) I was never afraid of him. He was kind and loving as long as he was receiving his medication and kept his mental appointments. At age 40 he begin to receive disability and moved to a health home were he lived 10 more years. I still think about him often. I am sorry your experience was so scary. I remarried but his children continued to see him and take him shopping etc etc.
Hi Sandra... you're a beautiful role model.....wrote a post to you related to this topic which really bothered me....could you send me a reply even if just privately? Perhaps a whatsapp T.W.
Sandra, What a precious vidéo! About optimism, and also thrift shops! As for me, I buy most of my clothes and even jewels in thrift shops and I love it! Good quality and good brands for a very small amount of money! And I can really choose , and personnalyse what I wear.
Thrift shops also do good things for our communities...helping the disabled or local hospitals or other community services! Thank you for modeling your great finds!
Wow!!! That price difference between retail and thrift shop is amazing and outrageous!!! I know media really tries to brainwash us to buy buy buy! And then if you fall into that trap, a little later you have a giant donate bag with lots of wasted money. Thank you for doing all that comparison work. Amazing!!! Love to all of you!!
Thrifting together was one of my favorite activities with my mother. Thrifting is a low pressure activity. Thank you for your encouraging messages, Sandra. I am not that much younger than you, but many of your expressions and down to earth words remind me of my mother, and other people who tried to keep me straight.
Your channel is a Godsend!!! I am so thrilled to have happened upon it. Thank you for sharing and giving of your self. I adore your videos. So wise, applicable and real. 😍
Sandra I listen to you at night .I have slot of trouble sleeping. Five years ago my husband and I lost our only son he was 37 years young he died of a heroin drug overdose it just wrecked my world.I miss him so much and I know I will never get over it.We also have two beautifuldaughters and 4 grandchildren that we truly love.When I listen to you you build me up.Thank you so much for listening to me.Keep podcasting.Liz
You're such a lovely person and a joy to watch. I understand about Arthur but let him know we're thinking of him. A snapshot of him once in awhile would be nice, if possible.
I'm guilty of rehashing past stuff in my head which then sours or saddens my moods. I'm learning to understand they are just thoughts and old memories (which does play tricks on us as we don't always remember it exactly as it was 😉) You are 💯correct 'life is not static' & 'setbacks are temporary' ♥ and patting ourself on the back is a great thing - think of it as part of our self-care. Wow what great thrift finds, loved all your selections, they all suited you so well, lovely clothes; hope I can be so lucky to find some treasures. Sounds like you had a wonderful day with our daughter, good to hear Arthur is living his life his way. Have a beautiful week and thank you for sharing with all of us.
Hi Barbara, I too am guilty of ruminating. I'm trying to train myself to not take every thought as a fact and instead try to look at it from a distance, something that is separate from me. Sometimes I do so well, others not so much.
Oh Arthur!! I just discovered you over the past 4 days and enjoy your wisdom, your presense, your laughter, your giving me advise and just helping me through my life, MY FRIEND!!!! PLEASE reconsider about being on camera, WE LOVE YOU ARTHUR❤❤❤
My thoughts are that I cannot believe I got spot on that she spent $50 I said it out loud I was by myself I said $50 and then Sandra said $50 but I'm a big fan of Goodwill myself and I was thinking that she did a great thing and end and I think Goodwill needs to give her a commission check and also thank you for a wonderful video I'm thoroughly enjoyed it I got a lot out of it too
Love thrift shopping. My mother in law got me started in the 1980’s, so grateful for her wisdom. I have had some great purchases. Now I take my grandchildren. They were really impressed when I was looking for a rash vest for swimming, paid $5 instead of $30. The grandkids couldn’t wait to get home to tell mum who also does thrift shopping unbeknown to the kids😊
Hello from Annie thank you for the lovely video it is exciting going to thrift shops I like to go weekly if I can but lately have not been well some sort of flu thing but on the mend. I cheered myself up to be optimistic and went to local op shop where they had a end of season sale they always have you can buy a bag of clothes for $5 yes it is amazing and such a bargain I was on top of the world I got 13 summer tops for that $5 I got them home fast and washed them could not wait to wear them they look fabulous on me and are of many colours and variety of patterns and designs. Last year got great bargains at same store I got winter clothes bag for $5 as well and had lots of Jackets Blazers and Jumpers etc such great buys saved hundreds of dollars for sure. I always put eucalyptus in wash to clean and disinfect those clothes from op shops, and get a kick out of the fact that I am recycling something giving it a new life and it is worth while doing so for the planet too, so this is one thing that always makes me happy when I get a bargain. I wish there were more good things in my life to make me feel more happy and optimistic, well I try to imagine these nice things happening, it gives me some hope.
Hi Sandra, I am glad to hear Arthur is enjoying his days, as long as he is happy that’s all that matters. I was laughing when you talked about your pet eyes looking at you thinking what can I do for you, my cat Stella looks at me each morning saying What can YOU do for me lol I have two goodwills I can shop in, one is better then the other, but many days I leave empty handed, but once in awhile I do find a treasure….I think Friday I am going to go to Goodwill now that I saw this video.. Love your hair this length so much❤️❤️❤️
Your visits are so much appreciate 💓 this is so true about animals...I love them and spending time with them will keep you positive...even just feeding the birds will help..Thank you Sandra blessings .
Such a timely and delightful video, Sandra! It just happens that my friend and I shopped at our local Goodwill today. My really big find was a beautiful gray jacket from Banana Republic ( tags still attached) that had been $178 for only $12. AND, it was a perfect fit and good color for me. it's actually more for Spring, Fall, Winter instead of for hot humid weather. My friend and I had so much fun shopping, laughing, lunching, and sharing together.
Good Afternoon Sandra, Awesome advice. As my husband's full time caregiver for almost four years, there is no end to my stress. It finally caught up with me recently when I was hospitalized with what was suspected to be a stroke. Fortunately, all is well. You are right on about being optimistic. When I think of all the things that Tony and I can no longer do as a couple such as traveling and dining out, I focus on our lovely home environment that we can spend our days in and that I have been blessed with a wonderful aide to help with Tony. You are a treasure. Blessings, Diane
Sometimes, I listen to your videos and I feel like you have talked me off the ledge. I can go about my day in a grateful way. For whatever reason, today, you talked me off the ledge. Thank you!
Good Morning Sandra:)! Sending you and Arthur and your family, warm and kind greetings. I am so in awe of how you graciously share of updates regarding Arthur and yourself, yet simultaneously, keep intact and respectful of the privacy of yall's progress and relationship. Its really admirable, especially since, you give so much of yourself helping others. But it is very clear that you honor your relationship as priority, and I think that is wonderful, because these days Sandra, sometimes priorities get lost. But I wanted to tell you, the work you do, is so impactful in a positive way for so many people. It literally is a ministry unto itself. Just wanted to send you some positive encouragement, wish you a beautiful day, and tell you, that you and your family are truly a beautiful Blessing and thank you for all you do through your video content. Kindness Always, Tamatha
Tamatha, Thank you so much for your inspirational and encouraging post. You are so kind and absolutely have made my day today. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with all of us. Love your way
In my winters in Florida a friend and I went every Saturday to thrift stores and West Palm Beach yard sales. We found the most beautiful things and clothes for a song! Such a treat. Your "new" clothes are beautiful.
Hi Sandra. I love your wisdom and advice. You are such a sweetheart. Every time I listen to the radio and when tonic comes on you pop in my head.lol Thank you for your videos
Sandra, you are such a cutie, a sweetheart! I love your energy, You are smart, beautiful, lovely, cute and you are my aging goals!, this is how i want to look, feel and live when I get 60! I learn so much from you and i appreciate you so much!! Your content is very value!!
Love listening to you on Tuesday mornings with my coffee. You have a way of resetting the negatives to positives. ❤️ I was thinking last week that I would like to go to the thrift store for some gently used clothes. Now my mind is made and I will go this week.😉 Have a beautiful day Beautiful 💖
I’m 79 and have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and osteoporosis. I’ve been extremely healthy and this has been a hard realization. I’ve always exercised ( gym 3 times a week for weight lifting machines) and eat a dash diet, mostly plant based going on 3 years. I’m generally very optimistic, but have been obsessed with my BP readings and food intake. Listening to you is helping. Thank you so much. Thanks for sharing how you clean the thrift shop clothes. I need to get more natural fibers clothes.
I'm 70 and just learned I have cardiomyopathy. My Drs say I have to lose a great deal of weight, almost out out salt, eat clean and get my BP down as soon as possible. It's very scary. I know how you feel. I wish you good health! And many good years!
You made my day,I have lost a lot,got accident,face and eye damaged but I believe it will never happen again but all good things will come my way in the future.I am optimistic
Sandra, I certainly understand Arthur just wanting to coast and enjoy his life. My Mom is 94 and just wants to have fun. I can relate as I am soon to be 76 and am tiring of volunteering for my ladies Association, etc., etc. It seems I went from working to working. I needed to stay busy when we lost our only child to cancer and I was coping with his loss. I finally learned how to cope with the grief and expect to be with him again one day. Now, I just want to enjoy my Mom, time with my husband and the rest of my lovely extended family. I am so blessed to have my brothers and their families all in our community. We are all close and that is so wonderful. Life kicks us to the curb at times but we can finally get up and dust ourselves off and continue to move forward! I love wearing someone else's clothes! I have saved so much money on beautiful items. Classic is my style with a little drama once in a while. Some of my friends giggle at me when I am so proud of my savings and am twirling around showing off my latest find. I also have found lovely items for my home on Poshmark and at thrift stores. Many of my friends are starting to frequent these stores also. Thank you sweet lady for being here for us and sharing your life with us. I know you are so appreciated.
Olivia, Thank you very much for sharing your life and your interest with me today. Our time really matters now and we really have to joy every single day and time with all of our loved ones. I am glad to hear that you like thrifting as as much as I do.
Hi Sandra........it is always wonderful to hear your soft tone voice giving us words of wisdom. I love the hints about thrift store shopping. You are so fortunate to have a daughter down there to shop and visit with. I really loved some of your items, the blue and white checked blouse really caught my eye. And I am eager to see your sweater. You know how tight things are right now and most likely will get worse before it gets better. So, I have decided to find a remote job (on the computer) to make ends meet and put a bit away just in case, or for something wonderful. However, as you said, things are only temporary. I just turned 78 and this new adventure sounds great to me. Crossing my fingers I can find something good. I never exdpected to go back to work, but it seems so many people are working from home, that it really makes sense to me. BTW>>>your hair looks beautiful, as does your make up. You are so natural looking, but beautiful. Thank you for sharing all you do. xoxox Sandie
I love your positive attitude, your wisdom and your all of your videos. Continue to inspire all of us women over 60. It is a great age to be! Happy and blessed Mother's Day.
I'm new to your channel and I'm loving your wisdoms and teaching us on how to survive, live life to the fullest and be optimistic again. As I haven't been living my life as I should, that will change soon. Thank you so much and I think you are so lovely and beautiful ❤️ 💐
Thank you so much for this and all your videos Sandra, they bring a lot of comfort to me. My dear dear Mummy passed away a week ago, she had endured the ravages of vascular dementia for a number of years. I try to focus on the fact that she has been released from all that she endured. Your kind smile, voice and wisdom really help. Thank you so much x
Optimism is top priority to me these days. We have both had some serious health issues, some ongoing. We are both in our mid and late 70s and have been together 54 yrs. Situations have changed over that time, some bad choices and more good choices. I really believe what you say in that everything is temporary. To me, each day is new and it doesn't matter if I'm out and about or home crafting or cleaning there is always something positive somewhere in that day. I have reached the time in my life that negativity has no place, there has been plenty of it over time but now is the time to enjoy each moment I have on this planet. I thought I would never recover from the death of Mum 3 years ago, at age 90, it still hurts deeply but I now try to live every day as she did even when she was riddled with pain she tried to be positive. We only have one life. Thank you for your wisdom and graciousness.
Thanks Sandra, another fabric I love that is biodegradable and breathable, plus lovely against the skin is bamboo. Thanks for your lovely authentic videos and your beautiful voice and smile 😘❤️
Dear Sandra, you are very in tune with Goodness! God bless you and your hubby and your family. Yes, we have a mind that needs us to direct it. Loving ourselves no matter what is important. Many blessings, Sherry :)
Sandra, hi 👋🏼🌷 I I know this is an older video but I liked it and enjoyed the same. I imagine how much your daughter enjoys the time being with you. I still have my mother and time with her is very valuable. I loved your findings at the thrift store, I love them. Specially the colorful blouse and the blue and red checkered one. I enjoy listening to you and I am sharing your videos with my friends. We live to share interesting content. Have a blessed day my dear Sandra 👋🏼🌷
Hello Sandra, you are looking great underneath the life you are living at this times. Yes, life gets to us and we have to live in courage and optimism.
I love how you like every single comment, that's so sweet. Although, we'd still love you even if you don't that. I'm 16 and really appreciate to "have" you at this point of my life. I really appreciate your efforts. Thankyou
I love your channel. I turned 60 this year and my name is Sandra so I knew your channel was a must. 🙂 I have been thrifting since the 80's as a young woman. I love the thrill of the hunt. I have thrifted so many beautiful vintage and high end items through the years. Love all your thrift finds.
Good Tuesday morning lovely Sandra 😍 So glad to hear that Arthur is doing well, and that you had a wonderful time at Goodwill with your daughter one of my favorite things to do, love all your positivism. Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Mother's day this coming Sunday 🙏 ❤ 💕
Just tell Arthur we love him and wish him well. Also remind him how blessed he is to have YOU! Yes, It’s so hard to not be depressed in todays times. But thinking of others close to us, family, friends, our fur babies, doing little kindnesses for others…send cards…gives me Joy! Just saying we need to love everyone we meet!

You’re such a gorgeous woman. Thank you so much for your wise words.
Love the embroidery linen dress!!

I just found two skirts from Anne Klein and Talbots for $9.00 but the best purchase of all was a round oak table and four oak spindle press back chairs for $70.00 !!! These were at my St. Vincent de Paul’s thrift shop!!! I feel just great about them! I love getting quality items for a lot less!💖💐

i had to hear that, thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. ❤️
I love Goodwill. I had a therapist who never talked about it but I would always see him at Goodwill. He never bought new and he always wore kakis and a polo shirt. If you take your time to look you can find great things that sometimes still have tags on them. This also helps our planet
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Hearing these videos soothes me so much 💕✨🙏 I wish you and your family all the happiness and joy 💕
Sandra, you are a wonderful person in many many ways, we love your videos and talks. Keep going and God bless! Love from Canada.

Good morning from Ontario Canada Sandra, loved the opening of the video showing American thrift store, they are very different than Canadian, your styles and clothing very different , I love American stores and clothes, we do understand and respect Arthur’s privacy, this is your journey and your life we know Arthur is there so just let him know we care, and in this world I agree it’s so hard to be optimistic, I really only watch the news for the weather, and try and focus on my gardening and nature, I try very hard to stay away from negative issues and people, I have found due to Covid people are more cold and hurtful, I just want to respect and show kindness, animals give us unconditional love and they get it more than people, so I agree again animals have a beautiful spirit , thank you again for your Tuesday message, God bless❤️🇨🇦🙏💐🌻🌿🌺👼🏻
Thanks so much for being here and sharing with thoughts with all of us today. Negative people can drain us of our energy for sure
Loved this one on optimizam! Mama always said look on the bright side of things, when things get bad, take a look around you, it could be worse, and always be thankful.
Its so nice to listen to your advice. Thank you for sharing your thoughths with us.
Sandra Happy Mothers Day💐you never disappoint us love you Darling , best wishes to Arthur, God Bless you both, 👒👒👒👒👒👒👒👒👒👒
Happy Mother’s Day Bernadette
Greetings Sandra. Just want to wish you a very happy Mother’s Day weekend. Howdy to Arthur. Great to hear you had a fun day out with your daughter treasure hunting. Kindest regards
Marlys Happy Mother’s Day to you.
Dear Sandra - you are a girl after my own heart. I just adore thrift shopping, too. Much more fun as well as saving money. I find that department stores bore me with rows of identical outfits. Plus, recycling is good for the planet and we all should try it! Thank you for sharing your life with us.🙏. You are a gift to the world. 💕Bee
What a gracious lady so full of wisdom and a good heart. So much love and appreciation for you, sending you well wishes all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Thank you Sandra. I-am not religious but I think god put your videos in my recommendations because I recently made a tough decision to leave my husband after 16 years of verbal abuse and toxic relationship. It's like you are talking to me directly.
Hi Sandra, I am 75 and just yesterday found your channel. My late husband also had paranoid schizophrenia. The disease did not define him. I was married to him for 29years and yes the last 15 years were very difficult. I had four great children with him. I would not have changed anything in my life. However I do not ever share this information with any of my friends or coworkers. I feel they would judge me.(They would not understand) I was never afraid of him. He was kind and loving as long as he was receiving his medication and kept his mental appointments. At age 40 he begin to receive disability and moved to a health home were he lived 10 more years. I still think about him often. I am sorry your experience was so scary. I remarried but his children continued to see him and take him shopping etc etc.
Thanks for sharing this with us today
I hope your life is filled with beauty and wonderful things now!❤️
Hi Sandra... you're a beautiful role model.....wrote a post to you related to this topic which really bothered me....could you send me a reply even if just privately?
Perhaps a whatsapp T.W.
Sandra, What a precious vidéo! About optimism, and also thrift shops! As for me, I buy most of my clothes and even jewels in thrift shops and I love it! Good quality and good brands for a very small amount of money! And I can really choose , and personnalyse what I wear.
Thrift shops also do good things for our communities...helping the disabled or local hospitals or other community services! Thank you for modeling your great finds!
Wow!!! That price difference between retail and thrift shop is amazing and outrageous!!! I know media really tries to brainwash us to buy buy buy! And then if you fall into that trap, a little later you have a giant donate bag with lots of wasted money. Thank you for doing all that comparison work. Amazing!!! Love to all of you!!
Thrifting together was one of my favorite activities with my mother. Thrifting is a low pressure activity.
Thank you for your encouraging messages, Sandra. I am not that much younger than you, but many of your expressions and down to earth words remind me of my mother, and other people who tried to keep me straight.
You are such an inspiration. Stay blessed and take good care of yourself and Arthur xx
🧡🧡🧡 I'm 46 but love your channel..much love from Kenya🇰🇪
Love right back
Your channel is a Godsend!!! I am so thrilled to have happened upon it. Thank you for sharing and giving of your self. I adore your videos. So wise, applicable and real. 😍
Always so exciting to find the thrift shop goodies
Sandra I listen to you at night .I have slot of trouble sleeping. Five years ago my husband and I lost our only son he was 37 years young he died of a heroin drug overdose it just wrecked my world.I miss him so much and I know I will never get over it.We also have two beautifuldaughters and 4 grandchildren that we truly love.When I listen to you you build me up.Thank you so much for listening to me.Keep podcasting.Liz
Sandra, you are such an inspiration! Love your videos so much! Thank you...❤️
Great finds & saving the planet! Wonderful to have a Mother/Daughter Day! Thank you for sharing!
You're such a lovely person and a joy to watch. I understand about Arthur but let him know we're thinking of him. A snapshot of him once in awhile would be nice, if possible.
I'm guilty of rehashing past stuff in my head which then sours or saddens my moods. I'm learning to understand they are just thoughts and old memories (which does play tricks on us as we don't always remember it exactly as it was 😉) You are 💯correct 'life is not static' & 'setbacks are temporary' ♥ and patting ourself on the back is a great thing - think of it as part of our self-care. Wow what great thrift finds, loved all your selections, they all suited you so well, lovely clothes; hope I can be so lucky to find some treasures. Sounds like you had a wonderful day with our daughter, good to hear Arthur is living his life his way. Have a beautiful week and thank you for sharing with all of us.
Thank you Barbara and I really appreciate your knowing how happy I was to have this day with my daughter
Hi Barbara, I too am guilty of ruminating. I'm trying to train myself to not take every thought as a fact and instead try to look at it from a distance, something that is separate from me. Sometimes I do so well, others not so much.
I’m really starting to put old hurts aside. Don’t need them anymore.
Oh Arthur!! I just discovered you over the past 4 days and enjoy your wisdom, your presense, your laughter, your giving me advise and just helping me through my life, MY FRIEND!!!! PLEASE reconsider about being on camera, WE LOVE YOU ARTHUR❤❤❤
I'm so glad I found this channel. I thoroughly enjoy the life advice.
Me too.
Yes, temporary, these troubles or issues. Haven't thought of it this way. Thank you Sandra.
@David Scott Fine thank you.
My thoughts are that I cannot believe I got spot on that she spent $50 I said it out loud I was by myself I said $50 and then Sandra said $50 but I'm a big fan of Goodwill myself and I was thinking that she did a great thing and end and I think Goodwill needs to give her a commission check and also thank you for a wonderful video I'm thoroughly enjoyed it I got a lot out of it too
Love thrift shopping. My mother in law got me started in the 1980’s, so grateful for her wisdom. I have had some great purchases. Now I take my grandchildren. They were really impressed when I was looking for a rash vest for swimming, paid $5 instead of $30. The grandkids couldn’t wait to get home to tell mum who also does thrift shopping unbeknown to the kids😊
Yes, Im definitely optimistic about the coming changes in my life: traveling, learning a language and moving to the other side of the world!
Hello from Annie thank you for the lovely video it is exciting going to thrift shops I like to go weekly if I can but lately have not been well some sort of flu thing but on the mend. I cheered myself up to be optimistic and went to local op shop where they had a end of season sale they always have you can buy a bag of clothes for $5 yes it is amazing and such a bargain I was on top of the world I got 13 summer tops for that $5 I got them home fast and washed them could not wait to wear them they look fabulous on me and are of many colours and variety of patterns and designs. Last year got great bargains at same store I got winter clothes bag for $5 as well and had lots of Jackets Blazers and Jumpers etc such great buys saved hundreds of dollars for sure. I always put eucalyptus in wash to clean and disinfect those clothes from op shops, and get a kick out of the fact that I am recycling something giving it a new life and it is worth while doing so for the planet too, so this is one thing that always makes me happy when I get a bargain. I wish there were more good things in my life to make me feel more happy and optimistic, well I try to imagine these nice things happening, it gives me some hope.
Great news!
Hi Sandra, I am glad to hear Arthur is enjoying his days, as long as he is happy that’s all that matters.
I was laughing when you talked about your pet eyes looking at you thinking what can I do for you, my cat Stella looks at me each morning saying What can YOU do for me lol
I have two goodwills I can shop in, one is better then the other, but many days I leave empty handed, but once in awhile I do find a treasure….I think Friday I am going to go to Goodwill now that I saw this video..
Love your hair this length so much❤️❤️❤️
Great to hear from you today
Your visits are so much appreciate 💓 this is so true about animals...I love them and spending time with them will keep you positive...even just feeding the birds will help..Thank you Sandra blessings .
You look so beautiful today! And as usual, your wisdom and experiences are on targer.
Loved seeing your GW finds! Let's see your closet.
Arthur 96 so blessed, I don't blame him.♥️♥️♥️♥️ Lady of such wisdom and grace.
i’m only 19 but your wise words and comforting presence makes me feel a lot better. thank you! 🥺❤️the gramma i never had
Hi
Or u marriad ??
❤
God Bless you Dear Lady, So Wonderful to See you and hear your Wisdom, Love & Hugs to you and yours 😙❤❤❤🐕🐕🐕
Such a timely and delightful video, Sandra! It just happens that my friend and I shopped at our local Goodwill today. My really big find was a beautiful gray jacket from Banana Republic ( tags still attached) that had been $178 for only $12. AND, it was a perfect fit and good color for me. it's actually more for Spring, Fall, Winter instead of for hot humid weather. My friend and I had so much fun shopping, laughing, lunching, and sharing together.
Good Afternoon Sandra, Awesome advice. As my husband's full time caregiver for almost four years, there is no end to my stress. It finally caught up with me recently when I was hospitalized with what was suspected to be a stroke. Fortunately, all is well. You are right on about being optimistic. When I think of all the things that Tony and I can no longer do as a couple such as traveling and dining out, I focus on our lovely home environment that we can spend our days in and that I have been blessed with a wonderful aide to help with Tony. You are a treasure. Blessings, Diane
Sandra, you are a ray of sunshine. Whish we had thrift shops in South Africa. Love listening to you. Blessings to you and Auther.
Sometimes, I listen to your videos and I feel like you have talked me off the ledge. I can go about my day in a grateful way. For whatever reason, today, you talked me off the ledge. Thank you!
Good Morning Sandra:)!
Sending you and Arthur and your family, warm and kind greetings.
I am so in awe of how you graciously share of updates regarding Arthur and yourself, yet simultaneously, keep intact and respectful of the privacy of yall's progress and relationship. Its really admirable, especially since, you give so much of yourself helping others. But it is very clear that you honor your relationship as priority, and I think that is wonderful, because these days Sandra, sometimes priorities get lost. But I wanted to tell you, the work you do, is so impactful in a positive way for so many people. It literally is a ministry unto itself. Just wanted to send you some positive encouragement, wish you a beautiful day, and tell you, that you and your family are truly a beautiful Blessing and thank you for all you do through your video content.
Kindness Always,
Tamatha
Tamatha, Thank you so much for your inspirational and encouraging post. You are so kind and absolutely have made my day today. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with all of us. Love your way
Beautifully said, Tamatha. I agree with your comment completely.

In my winters in Florida a friend and I went every Saturday to thrift stores and West Palm Beach yard sales. We found the most beautiful things and clothes for a song! Such a treat. Your "new" clothes are beautiful.
Hi Sandra. I love your wisdom and advice. You are such a sweetheart. Every time I listen to the radio and when tonic comes on you pop in my head.lol Thank you for your videos
Sandra, you are such a cutie, a sweetheart! I love your energy, You are smart, beautiful, lovely, cute and you are my aging goals!, this is how i want to look, feel and live when I get 60!
I learn so much from you and i appreciate you so much!! Your content is very value!!
Thank you Sandra. It's hard to keep uplifted some times, but you really help a lot.
Thanks
Love listening to you on Tuesday mornings with my coffee. You have a way of resetting the negatives to positives. ❤️ I was thinking last week that I would like to go to the thrift store for some gently used clothes. Now my mind is made and I will go this week.😉 Have a beautiful day Beautiful 💖
I’m 79 and have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and osteoporosis. I’ve been extremely healthy and this has been a hard realization. I’ve always exercised ( gym 3 times a week for weight lifting machines) and eat a dash diet, mostly plant based going on 3 years. I’m generally very optimistic, but have been obsessed with my BP readings and food intake. Listening to you is helping. Thank you so much. Thanks for sharing how you clean the thrift shop clothes. I need to get more natural fibers clothes.
I'm 70 and just learned I have cardiomyopathy. My Drs say I have to lose a great deal of weight, almost out out salt, eat clean and get my BP down as soon as possible. It's very scary. I know how you feel. I wish you good health! And many good years!
Hi ❤❤
You made my day,I have lost a lot,got accident,face and eye damaged but I believe it will never happen again but all good things will come my way in the future.I am optimistic
Stay positive and remember the great beauty inside of you is still there!
Sandra,
I certainly understand Arthur just wanting to coast and enjoy his life. My Mom is 94 and just wants to have fun. I can relate as I am soon to be 76 and am tiring of volunteering for my ladies Association, etc., etc. It seems I went from working to working. I needed to stay busy when we lost our only child to cancer and I was coping with his loss. I finally learned how to cope with the grief and expect to be with him again one day. Now, I just want to enjoy my Mom, time with my husband and the rest of my lovely extended family. I am so blessed to have my brothers and their families all in our community. We are all close and that is so wonderful. Life kicks us to the curb at times but we can finally get up and dust ourselves off and continue to move forward!
I love wearing someone else's clothes! I have saved so much money on beautiful items. Classic is my style with a little drama once in a while. Some of my friends giggle at me when I am so proud of my savings and am twirling around showing off my latest find. I also have found lovely items for my home on Poshmark and at thrift stores. Many of my friends are starting to frequent these stores also.
Thank you sweet lady for being here for us and sharing your life with us. I know you are so appreciated.
Olivia, Thank you very much for sharing your life and your interest with me today. Our time really matters now and we really have to joy every single day and time with all of our loved ones. I am glad to hear that you like thrifting as as much as I do.
Hi Sandra........it is always wonderful to hear your soft tone voice giving us words of wisdom. I love the hints about thrift store shopping. You are so fortunate to have a daughter down there to shop and visit with. I really loved some of your items, the blue and white checked blouse really caught my eye. And I am eager to see your sweater. You know how tight things are right now and most likely will get worse before it gets better. So, I have decided to find a remote job (on the computer) to make ends meet and put a bit away just in case, or for something wonderful. However, as you said, things are only temporary. I just turned 78 and this new adventure sounds great to me. Crossing my fingers I can find something good. I never exdpected to go back to work, but it seems so many people are working from home, that it really makes sense to me. BTW>>>your hair looks beautiful, as does your make up. You are so natural looking, but beautiful. Thank you for sharing all you do. xoxox Sandie
I love your positive attitude, your wisdom and your all of your videos. Continue to inspire all of us women over 60. It is a great age to be! Happy and blessed Mother's Day.
I'm new to your channel and I'm loving your wisdoms and teaching us on how to survive, live life to the fullest and be optimistic again. As I haven't been living my life as I should, that will change soon. Thank you so much and I think you are so lovely and beautiful ❤️ 💐
Hi! I love today's video, I'm 18 and I feel that your videos open my eyes!! btw I love how your blush looks, I love the tone❤️
Thank you and welcome I’m so happy to have you here. I have an 18 year old granddaughter so I get it!
She’s quite beautiful isn’t she? And I love the way she tells us things from her point of you. I think it’s very helpful and enjoyable as well.
Hi
How are u sweet friend 😍❤
Thank you so much for this and all your videos Sandra, they bring a lot of comfort to me. My dear dear Mummy passed away a week ago, she had endured the ravages of vascular dementia for a number of years. I try to focus on the fact that she has been released from all that she endured. Your kind smile, voice and wisdom really help. Thank you so much x
So sorry to hear about your mom. My mom has vascular dementia too. It is so hard to see a parent losing their memory. It's so tough. Hang in there.
Thank u beautiful Sandra!! That made my day u are such an inspiration luv ur stories!!💕
Thank you Sandra. I am also optimistic. But people always try to pull.me down for it by pointing out the bad side of everything!
Thank you Sandra for your wisdom and encouragement x
Optimism is top priority to me these days. We have both had some serious health issues, some ongoing. We are both in our mid and late 70s and have been together 54 yrs. Situations have changed over that time, some bad choices and more good choices. I really believe what you say in that everything is temporary. To me, each day is new and it doesn't matter if I'm out and about or home crafting or cleaning there is always something positive somewhere in that day. I have reached the time in my life that negativity has no place, there has been plenty of it over time but now is the time to enjoy each moment I have on this planet. I thought I would never recover from the death of Mum 3 years ago, at age 90, it still hurts deeply but I now try to live every day as she did even when she was riddled with pain she tried to be positive. We only have one life. Thank you for your wisdom and graciousness.
Thanks Sandra, another fabric I love that is biodegradable and breathable, plus lovely against the skin is bamboo. Thanks for your lovely authentic videos and your beautiful voice and smile 😘❤️
Dear Sandra, you are very in tune with Goodness! God bless you and your hubby and your family. Yes, we have a mind that needs us to direct it. Loving ourselves no matter what is important. Many blessings, Sherry :)
Sandra, hi 👋🏼🌷
I I know this is an older video but I liked it and enjoyed the same. I imagine how much your daughter enjoys the time being with you. I still have my mother and time with her is very valuable.
I loved your findings at the thrift store, I love them. Specially the colorful blouse and the blue and red checkered one.
I enjoy listening to you and I am sharing your videos with my friends. We live to share interesting content.
Have a blessed day my dear Sandra 👋🏼🌷
Hello Sandra, you are looking great underneath the life you are living at this times. Yes, life gets to us and we have to live in courage and optimism.
I love how you like every single comment, that's so sweet. Although, we'd still love you even if you don't that. I'm 16 and really appreciate to "have" you at this point of my life. I really appreciate your efforts. Thankyou
I love u
So soo much 😍😗😚😘👧❤🌷
Really
I like u
💑💑💑💑💝💝💝💝🌹🌹🌹🌹🙋🙋
Love watching your videos! I love thrifting! Good advice too.
Thrifting is great! I do it alot.Bargins are awesome. 👍🥰
I love your channel. I turned 60 this year and my name is Sandra so I knew your channel was a must. 🙂 I have been thrifting since the 80's as a young woman. I love the thrill of the hunt. I have thrifted so many beautiful vintage and high end items through the years. Love all your thrift finds.
Much respect for you thrifting. I do the same and try my best not to buy products packaged in unnecessary plastic. Every little bit helps our world.
Every little bit does help Beth Ann
Hi 😍😍
Good Tuesday morning lovely Sandra 😍
So glad to hear that Arthur is doing well, and that you had a wonderful time at Goodwill with your daughter one of my favorite things to do, love all your positivism. Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Mother's day this coming Sunday 🙏 ❤ 💕
