My Castor Oil Story- I was at the dentist for a filling last year. In giving me the lidocaine shot the dentist hit a vein and I developed a huge hematoma in my right cheek. I was told to use ice packs on my cheek for 24 hours- 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off- THEN GO TO HEAT. When the time came to use heat I rubbed castor oil on my cheek and used a warm rice bag made out of a cotton sock. My bruising quickly left in all the areas where the castor oil and rice bag were. I still had bruising down my neck and up to the side off my eye where I did not use the castor oil and rice bag. Where I did not use the castor oil and rice bag the bruising lasted for well over 2 weeks.
I’ve been mouth taping for a couple of years after I read the book “Breath,” I will never go back. I just slap it on after my skincare and mouth routine. Took a few nights to get used to but my sinuses are SOOO much better now. Your soapbox at the end is important. I live in Georgia and I’m always joking that I was only able to find medical help while I was an active womb, and now that I’m done having babies and have moved on to perimenopause, doctors have zero time or answers. Also as a person in poverty, I have only ever had access to healthcare as a pregnant person, so maybe there just isn’t healthcare available to impoverished mamas. I love the Good Samaritan clinic though, if any of y’all are in the same boat, try to find one! 💜 Great video Miss Angie!
Back here again for a second comment… for the cold shower, try just turning the faucet back a little bit at a time throughout your shower to get to cold by the end and then it is easier to stay in cold water for a while.
Castir oil completely dissolved a lump that was on my hand. I rubbed hexane free castor oil on the top of my hand and massaged it on every night before bed and after about 3 months, the lump was gone! Also, it cured the floaters in my eyes. It has also made my face super youthful looking and hydrated without a greasy feel. It does take a little bit for it to absorb, but do it at night when you go to bed and you wake up with silky soft skin!
Love the “soapbox” at the end. Man. Raising teen girls and being done having kids puts a foot in both worlds and the medical community isn’t doing enough research. Appreciate you saying the things we’re all thinking! ❤
The DO who helped me deliver my 2nd son 32 years ago had 4 daughters and frequently stated “It is God’s cruelest joke to have a mother in menopause with daughters in puberty.” DO’s and functional wellness/holistic practitioners changed my life.
I feel for Charlie Horse leg sufferers- especially in the middle of the night. I used to get them when I was little- would cry and whimper and my parents would come in my room thinking I was being hurt. Massaging my calves didn’t work much and so I woke up with sore legs before school. I read a book years later that was geared for pregnant women, they said when you feel one coming up, FLEX YOUR TOES BACK TOWARDS YOU repeatedly and gently- it does the opposite and helps release that cramping. Even during the day, I’ll be standing up and I’ll start flexing my toes back on the leg having issues. Has saved me so much and hope it helps you all! 💟
I learned about mouth taping many years ago via the Buteyko method. You can just use “paper tape” (that white medical tape that is usually used for holding gauze bandages in place, and similar). You don’t need much each night and I am sure it would be much cheaper. Also, if you watch too much true crime, you can force your mouth open with the tape if needed 😉
Interesting! Can you do a video on Castor Oil? How do you use it? Benefits? I think 2025 is the year of No Botox No plastic More natural products for our home and skin! Just finished your book and hoping you come out with another. I have fostered 7 beautiful boys and able to adopt 2. Such a blessing and a light you are to the world.
I love magnesium lotion! But you can also wear compression socks if you know you’re gonna be super busy all day and that has really helped my leg cramps and my restless leg syndrome. I don’t wear them all the time, but when I know I’m gonna be on my feet all day, I definitely wear them and it helps!
I find it I'm doing a lot of running around throughout the day and up on my feet more that compression socks work wonders with combatting leg cramps at night.
I’ve always done cold showers! I typically don’t have my water very warm throughout my showers to begin with. Then after doing all the necessities, I always stand under the water, slowly making it colder and colder until it gets as cold as possible before I get out.
Suggestion: skip lotions altogether since most of them are not good for you anyway, use the castor oil and pair it with a magnesium spray/oil at night. The castor oil is the deepest penetrating oil and will carry that magnesium deeper into you muscles. Plus helping with all inflammation and muscle repairs you may be needing. Castor oil truly is a miracle worker.
Hi there..this video really hit me to my core. Mt daughter has been having severe pain and nothing is happening because shes not ready for children. Anyhow I need a recommendation for mature dry skin with fine lines and wrinkles. They were not there one day and then appeared one day! Ive tried everything Korean skincare ..drugstores I need a little guidance.
I just want to mention that if you experience very irregular periods and especially if you have vaginal discharges of any kind after menopause, you should definitely get medical attention to rule out cervical or uterine cancer. Catching mine early meant quick surgical treatment (laparoscopic hysterectomy -- which depending on your health can even be done as an outpatient procedure), a very fast and easy recovery, and a 95% chance of no recurrence.
I had never heard taping your mouth until this morning when I watched a Dr. Dray vid about skin care habits that should "die in 2025". And here you are talking about it. However, she cautioned against it stating serious health concerns. Idk, it doesn't sound pleasant to me. Give me an extra cream.... I'd rather do that!🥴
The thing about mouth taping though: there is a good chance there is an underlying reason you are breathing through your mouth when you sleep. If you just do the mouth taping without taking care of the underlying problem, that can be pretty harmful.
What could the underline problem be? I'm just curious. I have sleep apnea and absolutely hate the machine. I feel like I cant breathe and the face mask bothers me. Just curious if you have more details on what you mean.
@@thecatfamily3299 Dr. Dray here on youtube just did a video about this. On of the issues she mentioned could be chronic inflammation of the sinuses, also nasal polys. If the nasal airway is blocked or obstructed your body will naturally breath through the mouth. So if you tape your mouth, all you will be doing is depriving your brain of adequate oxygen which can lead to much more serious medical conditions over time.
I have “great jaw definition” 😂 No mouth taping needed as my mom scared the shhh 💩 out of me when she saw me sleeping with my mouth 👄 open when I was younger and told me if I kept sleeping like that, spiders 🕷️ would crawl into my mouth and lay eggs 🪺 since they like moist places 🥲😪 . Dear sweet mom’s “gentle” way of giving me advice
@ yes but I struggled hard as a “nose breather” when it came to getting certified as a scuba 🤿 diver as I had to force myself to be a “mouth breather” underwater with my regulator - but I passed 😮💨
Aunt Jane this is such a helpful content. I'm already finishing my warm shower with cold water. Thanks for sharing scalp detox and magnesium cream tips.
so many things in this video! but I know that I want to get some castor oil because I have heard so many good things about it, I mean our grandmothers made us take it! and I have some magnesium oil that I got for my husband for pain and I want to try using it for my restless legs. I don't get it often but when I do, it is miserable! thanks so much for sharing! can't wait for the unmentionable mondays! xoxo
Do the cold showers in the summertime to get used to it... Its great yall! I just slowly start turning it colder and colder till i am about to get out and go full blast. I keep it to the warmer months. I also have my first cup of coffee outside in the cold in the winter.
OMG. You have beautiful hair, why do you need hair help. I’m here also here for the restless leg/Charlie horse help, so thanks for the tip. I’m already a Thrive Market member so I will be ordering some of the products you mentioned.
Just a side note about magnesium, if you have a sensitive stomach be weary of it. I have fibromyalgia and was taking a magnesium supplement and had a lot of tummy distress we’ll say😊. I then tried the magnesium lotion, same results. It is great if you don’t have tummy issues.
I live in Iowa. The shock of going from hot (house) to cold (outdoors ) is enough for me. I'm impressed by those polar bears that are tougher than me. Thousands of generations seeking the warmth of the cave are triggering my panic at this one. LOL
My 2 kids also sleep better when they sleep in undies only! Instead of getting warm and throwing the blanket off and then getting cold and having to pull the blanket up, they’re able to stay tucked in and sleep more peacefully.
The cold water - also great for your hair if you color it. It helps close the shaft and makes your color last longer. I try to rinse my conditioner out with at least cool water.
Should've done mouth taping myself... I trained myself to breathe through my nose via a fist under my chin and sleeping on my side. I now sleep with my mouth closed BUT I ALSO need a mouth guard because I grit my teeth so hard I've damaged a couple. Do the taping... don't do what I did.
Too much sitting down talking, and then incorporating Amazon finds and crap. (Sorry Angela) but we miss the old you. You used to show so much relatable content. This I feel like no one cares for but will watch just because. And when you do your meal plan vlogs it’s like 10 mins. Which is far and few between.
They can be used externally like for face/eyelashes/hair/skin- “nature’s Botox” lol😅I am not too clear on ingesting them but Dr. Berg has videos that talks about the benefits and he also warned not to use it on your belly/skin while pregnant as it may induce you prematurely. th-cam.com/video/rJDDb9EvKr8/w-d-xo.html
You lost me after mouth taping. Money doesn't smell I suppose because of earnings from product, but this trend is so stupid I don't even know how to approach to start talking how stupid it is. Tiktokers are like monkeys - saw something, let's copy it without any critical thinking at all. You seemed like more mature and wise, but I guess I was wrong.
Mouth breathing is a real issue. Taping your mouth isn’t a money grab. I can grab some random cheap tape rn and tape my mouth and it’ll help stop mouth breathing which has a lot of negative effects …

If you put it on your face at night, doesn't it transfer to your pillowcase and hair?
Psa - magnesium is also great for kiddos struggling with growing pains.

I'm really loving your darker hair Angie!! Your skin looks so beautiful with the dark tone red next to it-like a porcelain doll ❤
Meeeeee too! I literally had the same thought when I first clicked on this video
I’ve tried ending my showers with cooler water and I don’t like it. Plus, I don’t want cold water on me if I just got done shaving. 😂
I feel for Charlie Horse leg sufferers- especially in the middle of the night. I used to get them when I was little- would cry and whimper and my parents would come in my room thinking I was being hurt. Massaging my calves didn’t work much and so I woke up with sore legs before school.

I always end my warm shower with a cold shower for shinier hair and less after-shower headaches!
Your hair style is so gorgeous!!! 🤩
Try the frozen green grapes with sugar free starburst jello to help sweet tooth. Love your videos

I love using caster oil on my face most nights. Yes it is sticky, but it deeply moisturizes and has kept my eyes from swelling during the night.

Yes! I had sporadic bleeding after menopause and it was nearly endometrial cancer.

There's a holistic dentist that says braces can shrink the space in your mouth and cause mouth breathing also.
I agree. Nasal polyps,deviated septums, COPD, asthma. C-pap machine.
Totally agree!
Great video! Thank you! Any chance This Gathered Nest will still go on or is it done now? I look daily for new videos!
I have “great jaw definition” 😂 No mouth taping needed as my mom scared the shhh 💩 out of me when she saw me sleeping with my mouth 👄 open when I was younger and told me if I kept sleeping like that, spiders 🕷️ would crawl into my mouth and lay eggs 🪺 since they like moist places 🥲😪 .
Dear sweet mom’s “gentle” way of giving me advice
That's one way to make sure you keep your mouth closed😂
@ yes but I struggled hard as a “nose breather” when it came to getting certified as a scuba 🤿 diver as I had to force myself to be a “mouth breather” underwater with my regulator - but I passed 😮💨
I do kind of get a cold shower bc my hot water heater only lasts about five minutes lol 😂😭
I enjoy your videos! Thank you for posting😊
Aunt Jane this is such a helpful content. I'm already finishing my warm shower with cold water. Thanks for sharing scalp detox and magnesium cream tips.
What about chemicals on the tape.
Please sign me up for the unmentionable Mondays! Love these kind of videos!
Very solid video ❤
so many things in this video! but I know that I want to get some castor oil because I have heard so many good things about it, I mean our grandmothers made us take it! and I have some magnesium oil that I got for my husband for pain and I want to try using it for my restless legs. I don't get it often but when I do, it is miserable! thanks so much for sharing! can't wait for the unmentionable mondays! xoxo
Good list.
Where do we sign up for the unmentionable Mondays?
I LOVE my "HappyPMS" yam cream for feminine health--life-changing 😊
Well done!!! 👏🏼💛
Do the cold showers in the summertime to get used to it... Its great yall! I just slowly start turning it colder and colder till i am about to get out and go full blast. I keep it to the warmer months. I also have my first cup of coffee outside in the cold in the winter.

The cold shower thing is almost impossible for me. I tried just lowering the temperature, but I just can't.
Great tips! Thank you!
You're welcome! 💕
Great video
so glad unmentionable mondays are back
What lipstick are you wearing? It looks so beautiful on you!
Just a side note about magnesium, if you have a sensitive stomach be weary of it. I have fibromyalgia and was taking a magnesium supplement and had a lot of tummy distress we’ll say😊. I then tried the magnesium lotion, same results. It is great if you don’t have tummy issues.
And there are different forms of magnesium! Not all cause upset stomach/digestive stuff! May be worth looking into!
@ you’re right! Just wanted to put it out there. Hope you’re having a great night!
First video of yours I’ve seen. Glad I found your channel.
I'm so glad you're here!
I do a lot of these, but the cold shower …. You may have convinced me. 😅

V-stream, very interesting! I have never heard of this!🤔
Just to flag that castor oil isn’t advised when pregnant, I believe it can cause premature labour.
I live in Iowa. The shock of going from hot (house) to cold (outdoors ) is enough for me. I'm impressed by those polar bears that are tougher than me. Thousands of generations seeking the warmth of the cave are triggering my panic at this one. LOL
Night sweats can be a symptom of perimenopause
Me encantan tus videos. Cómo están todos. Me gustaría verte junto a tú familia ❤
CHILE 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Îs there a link for your turquoise ring?
Love you Ang, but I’m not doing any of this. 😂
🤣
My 2 kids also sleep better when they sleep in undies only! Instead of getting warm and throwing the blanket off and then getting cold and having to pull the blanket up, they’re able to stay tucked in and sleep more peacefully.
Would you tell me what color/product you are using on your hair?
Her hair is so pretty
I LOVE the darker tone in Angela's hair!
Please tell!!!!!!
The cold water - also great for your hair if you color it. It helps close the shaft and makes your color last longer. I try to rinse my conditioner out with at least cool water.
💚
I can’t find where to sign up for mondays .
The link for the unmentionable Mondays is not working.
"I wouldn't tell you to do something weird if it wasn't beneficial ". Says the lady that owns some of the weirdest things I've ever seen 🤣😂
I'm always afraid there is going to be a fire and I'll have to run out of the house naked if I sleep in the nude lol
If you have COPD, use a c-pap machine,nasal polyps or deviated septum, please talk to your DR first.
Once you reach menopause you are truly forgotten about.
Should've done mouth taping myself... I trained myself to breathe through my nose via a fist under my chin and sleeping on my side. I now sleep with my mouth closed BUT I ALSO need a mouth guard because I grit my teeth so hard I've damaged a couple. Do the taping... don't do what I did.
I sleepwalk so no sleeping in the nude for me 😂
Could be interesting for the family and neighbors😆
There's no need to sleep in the nude, just get some flannel pajamas.they breathe very well
Dr Dray disagrees with mouth taping
Ugh. I miss the vlogs.
Same!
Too much sitting down talking, and then incorporating Amazon finds and crap. (Sorry Angela) but we miss the old you. You used to show so much relatable content. This I feel like no one cares for but will watch just because. And when you do your meal plan vlogs it’s like 10 mins. Which is far and few between.
There is no such thing as a ph balance wash for your vagina. Ladies do you research or talk to your gynaecologist.
But how do you use the castor oil? Do you ingest it, apply it somewhere?
They can be used externally like for face/eyelashes/hair/skin- “nature’s Botox” lol😅I am not too clear on ingesting them but Dr. Berg has videos that talks about the benefits and he also warned not to use it on your belly/skin while pregnant as it may induce you prematurely. th-cam.com/video/rJDDb9EvKr8/w-d-xo.html
Apply topically. Do not ingest it
Angie, be careful with tongue scraping, it's recommended only 1-2 x a week, you could develop a "hairy tongue"
😮😱 good to know 😆
Nonsense. What is that even supposed to mean?
Tongue scraping just makes me gag
Don’t tape your mouth! Dr Dray Dermatologist TH-camr says this is bad!!!!
Don't do the V-steam! Please please consult a physician before going into things of such nature!
you lost me at cold showers.

It really helped with my snoring and sore throat in the morning. I just use regular medical tape and cut a slit in it. Works great!
