Your weight loss is so very obvious! You look great! And good for you for taking your kids along on your new eating habits...not easy! You're doing so well!
Yes Rena,ditto everything she said😊a razorblade,for your stove top😊 OK do you know how envious I am over your colection,collection, pots and pans that you are blessed with,please do not wash your pots,and pans in the dishwasher!!! IT puts pits in the inside,over time,don't put your good knives in the dishwasher as well😊 I love you,have a blessed beyond measure week ❤ your great Nana,from the PNW Spokane Valley Wa
Hi, as a retired window cleaner, the best thing to use (once in awhile) on your stovetop isa razor blade. Be sure and keep your surface wet : I also use Weimans stovetop cleaner.
Merina, get one of those steam guns we will clean everything.❤ say Hi to Nanny from us. Please say a prayer for my momma she's 91 and been in the hospital alot in January. Love you guys
They have cotton flat round circles that you can get to use for when you use the toner after cleansing your skin. They last longer and are easier to store -- less room needed. Cerave is a good place to start. The eye cream is to be used for underneath the eyes and on the lids. You are doing great. : )
Yes and eye cream travels so don't put too close to your eyes, follow the occipital bone(eye socket). You're doing great and cerave is great skin care esp for your young age!🎉
You are just knocking things off your list: Loosing weight, learning self care, learning how to french braid, etc. Congrats on what you have accomplished and a pat on the back for all the things you are trying.
Hi barb,my prayers are with you and your children to bottom out.And get the gift of sobriety. As a recovering alcoholic of 24 yrs,I understand you and yours, I want to suggest something look online for your area for Alanon,Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in your area.The one thing that saved my mum from going insane and learning about addiction was going to these meetings. God and these meetings will bless you. 🙏🕊💚
Hey girl, been watching you for a long time and I just want to say how proud I am of you. I’m a 77 year old grandma and I video adopted you and I have watched you grow into the wonderful woman you are today. You are an amazing mother, wife and friend. I don’t comment often, only when I feel the sincere need to share. God bless you darlin. ❤
Merina, I so admire your tenacity and achieving your dreams! Have you evet thought of turning your second living room into a diningroom/sitting reading room? I love what you've done to your house!😍
I'm having a really hard time lately. My kiddo got me sick and my breathing was wheezy which caused panic attacks that were raising my blood pressure far too high. Which makes me panic more. I turned to your channel for me to help relax a bit. It is helping. Still shaky with clammy hands but better than I just was 10 mins ago. I've been getting back in touch with God lately and it seems like it was all for a reason since my mental health has been wobbly. Any prayers for strength to overcome this I will be so thankful for. My 5 yr old doesn't understand and I'm basically a single parent in a 2 parent household and am getting 0 help. Thank you for your videos. And thank you to whomever sent some prayers for me. I feel goofy asking but this community is honestly beautiful.
@@MamaSwede prayers for u. Panic attacks are terrible. I took Zoloft for about a year. A low dose but it helped and praying. I hope you feel better soon
@Mommaj-ms7ty thank you. I am on zoloft now and had a small increase to try and help but I don't know if it is. Just makes me want my mom and dad but my mom has dementia and my dad has passed. Super hard when you're basically alone 😔. Thank you for your kind comment. Truly. Kind of snapped me out of my panic attack I was just having oddly enough.
I'm no professional, but I'm pretty versed in skincare. Do not waste your money on eye creams! If you look at the ingredients, it's almost all the exact same ingredients as a face moisturizer. They usually add caffeine or a mica to make it look shiny so it looks brighter. If it's good enough for your face, you can use it under your eyes with the same results. If you want something for under eyes, try eye patches! They're a nice little self love moment.
I like the dish routine. I do the same thing. I also wait til everyone is dressed for the day and then I wash a load of laundry. Then I have all day to dry it and fold it and put it away. 1 load every day. So much more manageable. Love the routines you’re forming. A good motto to live by: “Todays mess shouldn’t be tomorrows problem” 🥰
One thing on your facial cleanser routine is to use your ring fingers around your eyes they are the most sensitive. Your ring fingers have less muscle usage than your other fingers. You’re doing so good on your self improvement and gaining self confidence. Love you!❤
With the eye cream, make sure you are also applying under eyes. Double cleansing is more for when you are wearing makeup, using a balm first to remove makeup and then wash❤
For your stove top: buy The Pink Stuff paste. Rub a light coat all over your stove top, let it sit overnight. In the morning, wipe it off, very well, with water and dry. Use it on the bottom of your cookware as well. The bottom of your cookware can also be causing some of the problems.
Girl I love doing meal planning! It helps me to use what I have and not hit up a drive thru because I didn’t take anything out. I have actually done a no spend January this month for groceries and non-essential things and I feel like I have saved so much. All I have spent money on other than my bills is milk, salt, laundry soap and TP. I have just been using up what I have or making things from scratch. I enjoy the challenge of it!
We are doing the same, 4 freezers and a12x16 pantry. We could go probably a couple of years just using out of them but we do need milk and fresh produce. Gardens and canning has saved us slot of money even though it's a gamble.
First: i want to say how beautiful a person you already are inside and out.. Second: i truly love watching video's Thirdly: we could really use prayers for us between my anxiety issues and my husband being laid off its really hard and praying for my mental strength, my husband finding a job and all the sweet people on here... thank you
I love your hair in braids. Looks good on you. Truly like visiting with a family of friends every time you upload. Keep up the weight loss. You're looking terrific.
She does appreciate him & he appreciates her!! Them two are the most compatible couple that I’ve ever seen!! I am sure they both love and respect each other very much!! They know how to act & actually they could give a few pointers to some of us!!
Good Morning Darling's! Hope your all doing well 🥰 Love all your videos. I use a razor blade with a lil holder to cut through all the crud. I hold the razor tool at a slight angle and scrape off everything that doesn't belong on your nice and pretty stove top. Have a Blessed Day Amiga! Loves Mary K 💙
I do my best cleaning while listening to worship music too. Being filled with gratitude for what we have always inspires me to take the best care of it - our life and home are a gift.
I like that you’re talking about meal planning it’s an area I struggle in as well. As a mom of 5 I know how much meal planning or meal prepping helps with our busy schedules. And saves us from eating out more often.
Marina, you are killing it! Keep going….coming into a tidy kitchen in the morning is a game changer. Loved this style of video. That console table looked really nice under your Family photos…..it seemed to finish that wall off without using a huge piece of furniture. Bless you all, stay safe xx ❤👌🇬🇧
I just finished esthetician school and double cleansing is for first cleaning the makeup or dirt that collects on the face. The second cleanse gets deeper. Cerave is a good over the counter cleanser. You are doing great taking care of yourself in all the ways. It’s exhausting but I am inspired by you and your joy. Love you and your family.
I love these type of vlogs. You are one of my favorite comfort channels to watch. It’s just so comforting seeing and listening to someone who seems genuine and kind. You both seem to be awesome people with great personalities. Wish you all happiness and health ❤❤
Get some bar keepers friend, and a metal scraper, I pour the bar keepers friend on then scrub in circles using a sponge, then use the scraper to get burnt residue off from around the stove eyes, then wipe off all the residue, then I go in with the stovetop cleaner spray to shine it up if I’m feeling fancy after all that I’ll use some spray away window cleaner to really shine it up that should make it look new again good luck girl! ❤😃
I absolutely love these type of videos! I put them on while I'm doing dishes, making dinner, folding laundry or what ever else. So joyful and motivating!!!
Watching yall is so encourageing to me. I start chemo Feb 2 so I would appreciate yall's prayers. know God is in control and He will take care of everything but I need encouragement. Love you guys
I’ve been trying watching for a few months now and never miss an upload! I just love yall so much! I never comment but I was lead to today! Wishing you all the best success! I love how down to earth and real you are and how to love Jesus! Pretty awesome!
Marina I'm a professional housekeeper. Get yourself a cleaning pumice stone get it soaking wet gently use it on your stove too it works wonders. Never use it dry! Oven cleaner on the top if the pumice doesn't do the trick but leave it on for at least 30 minutes and a scrub daddy sponge. ❤
It's so nice to put the kitchen to bed at night so you don't wake up to a disaster! I always try to run the dishwasher at night, especially in the summer so it doesn't heat the house during the day. Barkeeper's will work on your stovetop, also you could try oven cleaner spray (not the self cleaning kind!!) on your stovetop. Just make sure you can let it sit for a few hours or spray and then put a layer of plastic wrap on top for a few hours to soften anything stuck on. You've got this!!
Merina, you seem so content in your own skin and I love seeing you like that. You’re such a wonderful mom,wife and homemaker. You’ve come a long way and Shane and the kiddos just make you be you. I love you and your sweet family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I get the fine razor kit for the glass top stove, you can scrap off the remains of food that have cooked out on to your stove. also Bar Keepers Friend comes in a liquid and it works great.
Merina, you have been glowing in the past several videos! Cheese Sauce Recipe Melt over medium heat 2 tablespoons butter Add, whisk 2 minutes 1 tablespoon cornstarch Add, stir constantly about 4 minutes until thick. 1 cup whole milk Reduce heat to low, add a little at a time until cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix) 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Salt and black If the sauce becomes too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more milk and whisking until you reach the desired thickness. This versatile sauce can be used for nachos, macaroni and cheese, as a dipping sauce, or poured over vegetables.
Bar keepers friend is amazing!! I use it on my glass stove top, my pots and pans that have burned on the bottom and my oven .. its such a cleaner for well water stains . I use it in our shower .. works wonders girl
I'm proud of you! I am gonna start a skin care routine too. I am also changing my eating habits because you inspired me. Praying this is my year to find my husband!🙏🙏
I don't know you, but you sure made me smile! I dont know if you were serious or not, but I just stopped the video to say a prayer for you and your (future) husband!
Love these kind of videos! Please keep doing them. I think the lunches you do for your children is a wonderful idea. I clean my kitchen every night before bed. I call it putting my house to bed. Pick up and put dishes into the dishwasher all day long and run it just before I go to bed. Wasn’t easy getting it down, but now I whip through it so fast. Best of luck with it and hang in there it will start to happen and you won’t even notice your doing it.
Your looking good beautiful keep it up! 8/22/24 I was diagnosed with 6 tumors. I decided to go natural. I went Monday for my mammogram 2 benign 3 stayed the same, 1 increase 1 milligram. The large one I drained 12/24/24 it. It increased 3 milligrams. When I drained it swelled up the size of a orange. So I think it was stilll swollen from draining it. When they did the Pet Scan it swelled up to the size of a grapefruit it took a while for it to down. I'm please with the results. I go back to the doctor on February 3 to talk to the doctor. So say prayers for me. Love yoy girl! Tell hubbie hi for me.
Keep em coming! They're a great motivation for me, and it's nice to see real people living real life out there on the web! You guys are so kind and caring and I appreciate you both!
I love seeing your remodeling video's, they inspire me!! Your house is SO beautiful, and I love your spirit, you can most certainly see the Holy Ghost lives in you!!!!❤
SHANE! YOU are a HILARIOUS! 🤣👏🏻🌟 Absolutely love when you go wild as you begin your haul! & at the end! 🤣🌟👏🏻👊🏻 Keep on being you! MERINA! YOU look WONDERFUL! 🌟👏🏻👊🏻💖 keep it up girlfriend, it’s INSPIRING! 🌟👏🏻🤍🙏🏻 God’s blessings to all of you ❤️ Love, Joy from New Jersey xo
Thank you that's what I just said in the comments, I like no one is talking bout this. I just didn not want to come out and say it. I'm glade some one spoke up.
Please pray for me. I am looking for a nursing job. I’m believing Gos has a plan I just want to walk through that door. I pray to hear his voice. Thank you love nursemarla 🥰❤️🥰
I could really use your prayers. My immune system is still weak from chemotherapy and last month I got type A. Flu. I ran a fever for 17 days straight. Now, I have either got a cold or a relapse of the flu. I am miserable at this point. Thank you in advance.
Could you please pray for my family my husband has lung cancer and I need all the prayers I can get for my kids and grand kids thank you for the videos I enjoy them so much❤❤❤❤
Can you please say a prayer for me? I am really struggling with my depression and I am afraid that if I can't get it under control, I may become a burden for my family 💔 😞 😢
Hi Merina and Shane. I've been watching your channel for a number of years and noticed that Shane always calls the dark angel on the Angel Soft tissue as creepy. I'm just curious as to why that particular Angel is considered creepy to him????
He has always called it creepy angel baby no matter the color of the baby. It’s just the details like eyes he’s referring to. It’s nothing racist or anything like that.
I'm so glade some people is saying something about that. It is OFFENSIVE. HE said even more creepier angel baby, little harbinger of darkness on the package. He says it every food haul. He was not saying that when the angel was white, he just said creepy angel baby. Now it's even creepier.
I love, love , LOVE these types of videos, especially when they show up on Mondays, because that is my laundry day and I fold while I watch you clean. I really enjoy this channel. I was just telling my husband how uplifting it is. Can't wait to see y'all in the next one!
I recommend the stove cleaner kit that comes with the razor blade. That blade is great at getting the stuff off that won't come off with scrubbing. And you look so vibrant and healthy. You're doing awesome!
When I was younger I made a list of meals the family and I liked and i use that still even though I'm a widow with adult children because some days adulting is hard! Just a little tip FYI.
Hey Rina what also helps with keeping up with your face is to remember to change your pillow case at least once a week 😊 your beautiful in my eyes and Jesus agrees 🥰
As always your video was great! I love when you do these type of videos and welcome more of them. I love getting inspired as well as learning along with you. Have a great week ❤️
I had to lol at the water but really milk that was in the haul lol … we love you all and subscribed as I should have a while ago. Throwing all the.My life lives your channel and family. You all are doing such a great job on the home🏡 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Barkeepers Friend is probably the best thing that you can use on your stove top and cheaper than the cleaner that is made to clean the top, with that said, I hope it isn't too late to get some of the stuck on stuff off. You don't need a whole lot and use a scratch pad when cleaning. You can use it in your sink and toilets too. I like like your braids! Good Luck with your stove top!!
Glass top stove....I put a cleaner on the stove top then I use a bigger razor blade to scrape the gunk off. I never scratch the glass either. It always comes out beautifully. I couldn't believe what came off the stove top.
Your suppose to dap the oven cleaner on the whole top and let it dry completely then take a dry paper towel and wipe it off. I use that a few times a month and the use windex in between to keep the top of the oven clean
I have a glass top stove as well and it was a pain in the hiney to clean until I figured out what works best! Use The Pink Stuff paste with a scrub daddy sponge and scrub it down good, wipe it clean, spray with glass cleaner and then use a razor blade to scrape the surface. It’ll look brand new!
What helped me out alot is getting a whiteboard that you can put the whole month on and then if you need to change dinner for certain days you can just erase and change it. I do this for an entire month and then I don't have to think about or forget what to make for dinner. It also helps with grocery shopping too. A favorite new recipe I tried is the loose meat (maid rite) sandwiches from the TV show Roseanne. My kids get excited when I make them.
Can we take a minute and mention how you are glowing?! You are looking incredible with your weight loss, smile, and etc. I'm so proud of you, friend.
I was just thinking the same thing when I logged on! Way to go! ❤️
I was just about to comment on her weight-loss to ❤ she's looking very good
So proud of her 👏 🫂
You are so pretty and you are doing great with your weight loss. I
love your decorating style!
You took the words right outa my mouth! Way to go marina!❤
Agreed! I haven't been online in a while...first thing i noticed was the weight loss and she is glowing. Love this!!!!!!!!
That table you wanted out of your living room would make an awesome sofa table behind your couch. I love the looks of a sofa table.
Yes, me too!
I came to the comments to say the same thing! It would be perfect right behind the sofa, and it could even have a set of lamps on the ends. ❤
I thought that too when you were moving it,,,,,,❤
Yessss I was about to make that same comment. Lol It would look great behind the couch
Yes thank so to when she took it behind the couch to move it.
Your weight loss is so very obvious! You look great! And good for you for taking your kids along on your new eating habits...not easy! You're doing so well!

I use Bar Keeper but I use the powder not the liquid on my glass stove top and also a razor blade for trouble spots.
Yes i left a comment about the weimans razor blade in the kit.

Ive tried that pink stuff......don't care for it personally. But thats just me.
The pink stuff will also scratch the glass top the best if glass stop too cleaner keeping it wet and a razor blade
Your braids look so cute on you… put your table behind your couch if you want… im so proud of how far you came in your life… you are amazing ❤

Reduce heat to low, add a little at a time until cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black
If the sauce becomes too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit more milk and whisking until you reach the desired thickness.
This versatile sauce can be used for nachos, macaroni and cheese, as a dipping sauce, or poured over vegetables.

Cerave skin cleanser is what my dermatologist recommended.
I'm proud of you! I am gonna start a skin care routine too. I am also changing my eating habits because you inspired me. Praying this is my year to find my husband!🙏🙏
I don't know you, but you sure made me smile! I dont know if you were serious or not, but I just stopped the video to say a prayer for you and your (future) husband!
@GeorgiaPeach2024 awww that is so sweet and much appreciated!! That made my day, please feel this hug im sending you❤️
Girl, I love that you are taking care of yourself. The weight loss shows and your skin is glowing. ❤🇨🇦
God honors your obedience as you strive to better your homemaking! Working as unto the Lord!!❤
For the stove, I keep a utility razor around. I use it on the tough spots when it is shaped up.

You're killing it Momma! 👏💪
Love these kind of videos! Please keep doing them. I think the lunches you do for your children is a wonderful idea. I clean my kitchen every night before bed. I call it putting my house to bed. Pick up and put dishes into the dishwasher all day long and run it just before I go to bed. Wasn’t easy getting it down, but now I whip through it so fast. Best of luck with it and hang in there it will start to happen and you won’t even notice your doing it.
I love how real you and Shane are!! It’s so refreshing!! 🥰♥️
Right, seeing the real Shane, with his even creepier angel baby of darkness. OFFENSIVE
I love your videos...keep on keeping on. You are doing soooo good. Great family!
Yea!!! Shane's grocery haul!!! Tater Nation!
👍🏻 lol
Your looking good beautiful keep it up!
8/22/24 I was diagnosed with 6 tumors. I decided to go natural.
I went Monday for my mammogram 2 benign 3 stayed the same, 1 increase 1 milligram. The large one I drained 12/24/24 it. It increased 3 milligrams. When I drained it swelled up the size of a orange. So I think it was stilll swollen from draining it. When they did the Pet Scan it swelled up to the size of a grapefruit it took a while for it to down. I'm please with the results. I go back to the doctor on February 3 to talk to the doctor. So say prayers for me. Love yoy girl! Tell hubbie hi for me.
🙏🙏🙏

Is shane prejudice? Harbinger of darkness(Angel Soft), I have watched yall channel like forever.
Of course not! He was referring to he cherub. But heard it did sound ?
Thank you that's what I just said in the comments, I like no one is talking bout this. I just didn not want to come out and say it. I'm glade some one spoke up.
I enjoy watching the channel also, but this is not the first time he did this.
I just love you and your sweet family. It feels like hanging out with friends in the evening when I pop on one of your videos.
Ur ponytail are so cute on you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everything is looking so nice. I love the way you made the kitchen pass through.
Please pray for me. I am looking for a nursing job. I’m believing Gos has a plan I just want to walk through that door. I pray to hear his voice. Thank you love nursemarla 🥰❤️🥰
Praying God gives you the best nursing job out there.
Love that you are changing your kids eating habits gradually. You are a fabulous mom!
I could really use your prayers. My immune system is still weak from chemotherapy and last month I got type A. Flu. I ran a fever for 17 days straight. Now, I have either got a cold or a relapse of the flu. I am miserable at this point. Thank you in advance.
Praying for Healing!!! 🙏 ❤
Praying you heal completely. 🙏
Prayers!!! 🙏♥️🙏♥️

Praying for you to be healed and
that God strengthens your immune
system

Merina, you and Shawn are marvelous people and I love all that you do. I appreciate that you are REAL folks. Take care of yourself.
Can you please say a prayer for me? I am really struggling with my depression and I am afraid that if I can't get it under control, I may become a burden for my family 💔 😞 😢
Praying that God delivers you
from depression
Sending lots of hugs and prayers to you.
🙌🫶🙌❤
I use Cerave products. They’re great! ❤ you could put the table against the back of the sofa.
Hi Merina and Shane. I've been watching your channel for a number of years and noticed that Shane always calls the dark angel on the Angel Soft tissue as creepy. I'm just curious as to why that particular Angel is considered creepy to him????
YES. Why is it creepy?
He has always called it creepy angel baby no matter the color of the baby. It’s just the details like eyes he’s referring to. It’s nothing racist or anything like that.
I'm so glade some people is saying something about that. It is OFFENSIVE. HE said even more creepier angel baby, little harbinger of darkness on the package. He says it every food haul. He was not saying that when the angel was white, he just said creepy angel baby. Now it's even creepier.
I love, love , LOVE these types of videos, especially when they show up on Mondays, because that is my laundry day and I fold while I watch you clean. I really enjoy this channel. I was just telling my husband how uplifting it is. Can't wait to see y'all in the next one!
I recommend the stove cleaner kit that comes with the razor blade. That blade is great at getting the stuff off that won't come off with scrubbing.
And you look so vibrant and healthy. You're doing awesome!
Hi Merina and family. Hope you all are well. Another great video. Hope to see another one soon. Have a great night. Love to all of you. 💕
Hi Ya'll....May I ask for prayers I lost my husband Friday to a long stay with hospice. Im not doing well its so hard! Thk you so much..Camille
Sending up prayers 🙏🏼
Yes, I LOVE this sort of video--a peek into your week! Continued prayers for Nanny.
Merina they also do a satin or semi gloss on trim and eggshell on walls. The slicker finish on trim helps it stay clean and cleanable. Looks great.
When I was younger I made a list of meals the family and I liked and i use that still even though I'm a widow with adult children because some days adulting is hard! Just a little tip FYI.
I love your energy and Shane's. Watching y'all's video makes me so happy.. y'all are my happy escape from this frightening world
Merina, I really enjoy your video and how you and Shane work so well together. God bless you, Shane and your family.
Hey Rina what also helps with keeping up with your face is to remember to change your pillow case at least once a week 😊 your beautiful in my eyes and Jesus agrees 🥰
The pink stuff paste is amazing for the stove top! I can't live without it! Make sure it's the paste!
Cerave is a great skin care line! Consistently is key though no matter what you use. Drug store skin care is where it’s at!!
As always your video was great! I love when you do these type of videos and welcome more of them. I love getting inspired as well as learning along with you. Have a great week ❤️
yes id love to see a what you eat in a day or week personally Merina!!
I had to lol at the water but really milk that was in the haul lol … we love you all and subscribed as I should have a while ago. Throwing all the.My life lives your channel and family. You all are doing such a great job on the home🏡 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Barkeepers Friend is probably the best thing that you can use on your stove top and cheaper than the cleaner that is made to clean the top, with that said, I hope it isn't too late to get some of the stuck on stuff off. You don't need a whole lot and use a scratch pad when cleaning. You can use it in your sink and toilets too. I like like your braids! Good Luck with your stove top!!
Glass top stove....I put a cleaner on the stove top then I use a bigger razor blade to scrape the gunk off. I never scratch the glass either. It always comes out beautifully. I couldn't believe what came off the stove top.
Your suppose to dap the oven cleaner on the whole top and let it dry completely then take a dry paper towel and wipe it off. I use that a few times a month and the use windex in between to keep the top of the oven clean
I have a glass top stove as well and it was a pain in the hiney to clean until I figured out what works best! Use The Pink Stuff paste with a scrub daddy sponge and scrub it down good, wipe it clean, spray with glass cleaner and then use a razor blade to scrape the surface. It’ll look brand new!
What helped me out alot is getting a whiteboard that you can put the whole month on and then if you need to change dinner for certain days you can just erase and change it. I do this for an entire month and then I don't have to think about or forget what to make for dinner. It also helps with grocery shopping too. A favorite new recipe I tried is the loose meat (maid rite) sandwiches from the TV show Roseanne. My kids get excited when I make them.
I love the braids on you marina! You look great! On the other side of the entry way a swinging gate with that same pattern would look cute !!!
I do love this the of video. Different kinds of content in one video but I especially enjoy your home improvement segments. That's just me.
