Thank you so much for supporting my channel. I always say that you are the best subscribers on youtube and I appreciate you more than you'll ever know......patti 🎀 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I am 66 yrs old and retired from nursing 1 year ago. I realized there are a lot of things I don't want or need anymore such as china and knicknacks I've accumulated from relatives. Also, I too do not buy high heels or fancy clothes unless absolutely necessary and
I'm trying not to buy anymore eyeshadow palettes or foundations etc... I stopped buying new seasonal decorations a few years ago and like you said, no one is seeing them anyway. I have donated, given away or sold things just to clear out the clutter. You know when a woman is pregnant and goes through the "nesting" period? Well I'm un-nesting as I get older. L.O.L. Congratulations on your 103,000 subscribers, you deserve it.
The one thing I’d definitely keep are gifts from family!
You have been such a great inspiration and friend... I'm a full time caregiver of my 95 year old mom... Days are so long, but I turn you on and it heals my heart to bring back some normalcy to my day.. I too have been inspired to cut back and start enjoying my days... It saddens me to watch my mom look at herself in the mirror and cringe as the wrinkles flow down her face... This has been a reality check for me that no matter what you put on your face, that life deals you with wrinkles to show that you have years of wisdom to share... I believe these days of covid has caused us all to stop and smell the roses.. Thank you for sharing your life with us. ..
My heart goes out to you. That's got to be the hardest job ever. May God bless you with strength and patience!
Thanks Pattie that was a great video, my list is about the same as yours I just filled a donation box with a lot of very nice things that I am happy to give away I love decluttering it becomes a challenge to use up all the products you have a make new outfits everyday. Hugs Bea
Jenny Howell Lambert// Bless you and your momma. I just lost my mom, so please do your precious mom's nails. Little things like that would make my mom's day and bring the biggest smile to her face. I always say...its the little things.
I understand this all too well. My Dad became very ill after the loss of my only child. His heart was so broken, literally. My Mom couldn't handle it alone so I gave up my job and practically moved in with them. Seeing my Dad age so rapidly was a nightmare. He passed on what would have been my sons 30th bday...My Mom went just 2 days later. Like you, I cherish each and every bit of caring for them. It truly opened my eyes to seeing "the little things" a whole lot clearer and with much more appreciation. Thanks for sharing your story with us.💕
It's good to hear you're caring for your mom. I know it's hard long days she must be so grateful. So find my little story here about the older oriental woman and maybe do that with your mom in the. mornings. Lol l v u💗😊😍💔🙏

I am constantly amazed by the changes aging has brought to my mind and body!. I am 76 and in good health. I don't know for sure when I started choosing comfort over heels and dresses and makeup. But it has progressed to the point that I don't even think about being prissy anymore. I am embracing this stage of my life!

I am with you, I am sick of being a warehouse for junk!!!!!!!! let the stores keep it until I need it. I only buy now when I am using the last of a product! after my spouse passed away I spent the first 3 years donating things away and on year 3 I started to donate my stuff away, I had over 30 high in boots like dear skin boots worth several hundred and I have donated all but 2 pairs of boots away! you should have seen the peoples eyes when I donate they are always saying are you sure? they tell me I could sell things for good money, but I do not want strangers coming to my house!!! and I know GOD will reward me for being not greedy! I just think of someone enjoying my donations!!!! puts a smile on my heart!
Hi! My new motto is “if you don’t need it, don’t buy it”! Covid and retirement has sure changed my perspective. Love your videos.
Congratulations on your milestone !!! I love your style,🥂
I totally agree!😃
I want to no what kind of make name where you get those make you name what kind of oil you use please let me know what kind of oil did you used and name powder name and who make thanks Leila perretta.
The flowers are just magnificent and you are surely the one who earned our trust and your two daughters recognition and gift!!!😍
@@lailaperretta2163 just a heads up because your comment is on the reply section of another comment she may not see it to respond to it. So I would put it up again in the comment section.
Like you, I put on makeup and do my hair every day. I do it for my husband and for myself. It just makes me feel better.
I need to start doing that. Im 63 & I feel lifeless & afraid all the time. Mayb doing my hair & make up will make me feel good. My problem is the only makeup I ever used was eye. Im not sure what should use for foundation with wrinkles. I dont want to pronounce them
When we were going through Covid 19 and were in lockdown down here in Australia, I decided to put full make up on, and style my hair every day. It made me feel so much better even though I didn’t see any one. 😊
Walmart sells nails I think are pretty and a bit cheaper. They are called “Impress” and are stick on and last a week and come in beautiful colors. I also am minimizing and donated 3 car loads so far. Not junk but really nice things I no longer use. I am donating a 12 piece setting of beautiful China to a woman’s shelter. You are a lovely lady!
The Blessings you give always multiply and come back to you when needed..
But...never from the souce you expect!!!
I'm 75 and you have been such a blessing to me as the years pass. ! I love you and find you delightful and an inspiration!
Love your video about letting go of things I don’t us or need. I’m 71 years old retired May of 2022. I have to much of everything I like pretty things I just don’t need to buy anything. I was to let go of so many things . I was meet to meet you. I already feel like your my sister in spirit. I will be watching you again soon God Bless You!!!!!
Patti, I know what you're saying!! I feel like quarantining has changed my life view in many positive ways. It has allowed me to "get off the merry-go-round" of buying, going, doing and I feel so liberated!!! I would never have recognized how tired I was and how inappropriate many things had become. I am not far behind you at 72 yrs of living and my whole perspective has changed with the introspection of quarantine. It has been a relief! My husband has serious health issues and I have been caregiver for the past 7 years. I have come to realize my inner self and
outer self no longer matched and I have been changing my habits to reflect where and who I am now. I gave up heels several years ago, do my own nails since covid, and am no longer interested in buying clothes other than basics. I have cleaned out cosmetics and skincare and donated piles of it. I enjoy looking at jewelry but have what I need and have given much to younger friends. My home is decorated to my taste and I have no interest in change. One of my greatest pleasures is sitting on the back porch watching the birds with my husband. I limit my consumption of news and life is peaceful. Life is simpler and I am better and most grateful.
I love your comment. It reflects the intention of my own life now. Simple, peace, satisfaction are golden goals now. I hope your husband prospers despite the health issues and you enjoy your life together. ❤️ Sharon
@@Mint-he5ok Thank you for your good wishes. I return them for you and your family. ⚘
I couldn't have said it better. We live in the country & enjoy our screened porch emmensely.
What a beautiful place to be in life!! Im 53. Been through a lot in my 53 years. The hubby and I sold "the big house,in Florida and bought a tiny cabin deep into the woods on a mountain in Kentucky. That was the beginning of my purge. I LOVE the idea of donating what you were not using. I know of a battered womens shelter fairly close to our home. So, todays the day where all of the clothes, UNUSED creams, shoes and UNOPENED makeup goes!! Im so ashamed of myself for buying all these things that I ended up not even using. The idea of giving these things to someone who will use it makes me feel somewhat better. Thanks so much for sharing your great idea!!!💕💄 We women need to build one another up. Finding Ms.Patti has been so wonderful!! God speed!!💄💕
@@lindag2214 You go, girl!! Hooray for you!! Feels great, doesn't it! I feel sad for those who are still on the merry go round chasing the unrealistic and impossible. Aging is not to be feared. There are compensations! Wisdom! Lol
I’m with you - heels no longer work for me. Sales - also out. Letting my hair go gray. Sound like I am giving up, Ha! No, just making my life easier and doing what I want.
I'm a silver sister Too! So freeing.
When men have platinum silver hair, does anyone say they "let themselves go"? NOPE. So let's stop that utter NONSENSE about women! :)
I love my heels but those days are over I look for comfort.
I'm 5feet 9,so I never worried so much about wearing heels. Since I no longer work I wear a lot of walking shoes and sneakers and they are just so much more comfortable!
Amen to that!!!
I’m done purchasing fine jewelry to store in my safety deposit box. Loving fun costume jewelry!
me too! I have gone from carats to costume at second hand. love finding a real pearl necklace in amongst the costume though!!
Yes, my jewelry is in the s.d.b. I am thinking selling it.
@@lindaa2802 check w your jeweler for possible consignment..its the safest way to sell...never under any circumstance meet anyone interested in purchasing your jewelry...too many scammers/ thefts now adays...meet at jewelry shop if they are really interested....most shops have security guards...good luck
At 67 years old I have finally discovered to stick with what works for me. I, too, have gone to the kitten heels, normal priced makeup, and kiss nails! COVID has really made me take a look at my buying habits and my priorities! I can honestly say that no one has ever come up to me and said “ I love your Dior eyeshadow”. I have discovered that pairing down on skin care products has made my skin the best it has ever been. Thank you for this video. Take care and stay safe and healthy - Barbara
This year I came to the conclusion I have an additive personality. I realized I get on a makeup kick or perfume kick and went crazy. About 3 months ago I woke up to this madness and actually almost got ill when looking through my stash. I decided while having my daughters and granddaughters over in October to put it all on the table and said take what you want. My spending has definitely stopped and I am feeling freed!
Me too Ashley! Cleaning out my craft room told me that! 😳
Smart!
Sheila Ashley I hear you! I was doing really well until I saw a beautiful Ganni dress online... I had to have it... wish I had somewhere to wear it too though! Everything locked up and locked down. 😖
I've also been guilty of the same thing. I get things and love them, then realize what were you thinking. I have an Aunt that will look and walk away. She tries not to impulse buy or buy just because it makes you feel good.
@Shelia Ashley
That's great! I know it must've been difficult parting with the stash but you took the biggest first & biggest step! Well done! 😊👏👏👏
Hi, I’m giving up buying multiples. From now on, it’s one at a time. Oh, except for toilet paper!
😂
I know what you mean. During this pandemic time it has forced me to go thru my stash of make up/make up remover/general junk in my bathroom. Very freeing.
Ok but if l find a bra that actually works for me and is comfortable...well, white and black and mocha are coming home with me!! 74 and happy to still be upright and not breathing heavily!!!
I just discovered you. You are amazing and you aren’t pushing any brand! Thank you for that. I am 70. About 3 years ago I began to unpack my parents stuff that was boxed up in 2003. There were items from my mom’s early life and most of it has no use in today’s life style. There were eye shadow pallets from my high school days and just SO much! It was then I realized it was insanity to keep these things. My kids don’t want them and my memories are in my heart - I don’t need anything to remember. I also realized that I had more than enough of everything! Since then I have been downsizing my life. I have kept 1 pair of heels bc I need to be stronger to let them go. 😂 You are speaking to ME! Thanks!
Those headband look so cool~! At 70 I don't buy anything unless it's necessary, which means I buy food. lol
I just love you, you are precious and remind me of my favorite aunt. You bring me great comfort and warmth to my heart when I watch your videos. And CONGRATULATIONS u really deserve this award.
I believe we all have a family member like Patty or at least we should have. I know I did and reading here I'll bet we are that person in our families now. 😊
im 77 and i have given up those same things , free at last , loving my life now, enjoy your show
I really needed to see this video and so enjoyed it. I’m 74 and was widowed, after 50 yrs, 4 years ago. We both had been retired and living our easy lifestyle. We raised 4 wonderful children who have given us 7all beautiful grands and they all do well for themselves. Life was so good! Having just had a broken water pipe in a wall and going through home repairs I’ve learned how much “stuff” I have accumulated the past 30 years in this house that I don’t use or need. This has been a good time for me to learn how to clean out my closets (and under beds!). Donations made to hurricane victims and charitable organizations.Congratulations to your lifestyle changes and best wishes for a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas season to you and yours!
Bless you, widowed is hard.
I just discovered your channel and love it. As a 73 year old, I have also cut down on many purchases and have also started going through the house and slowly started donating many items we no longer want or need. Holiday decorations were the first to be culled. We now have two table top trees instead of a large tree for Christmas. An added bonus is that we don’t need as many decorations. A big disappointment is all our crystal and China. Not only don’t we use it, none of our children or grandchildren want it either. People don’t entertain like that anymore. And, while it cost us so much money to buy, there is almost no market to sell it.
104 thousand now! Congratulations on all the subscribers, you are such a wonderful lady and fantastic to watch. Sending love from Scotland.
Thank you for sharing all this. I, too, have stopped the similar things you have listed. Even though I am at home now all the time, I do still like to "doll" it up... Mostly just for myself. I am 70 now, and I see the changes that are coming. Sensible approaches to everyday life win for me!
Patti, been watching the American political news here in NZ. What a time! May healing now be upon your great country and an end to all the trouble and terrible violence and sickness. Blessings to you.
Found you on you tube site in the past few weeks and love to watch and listen to you. I can relate to so much of what you talk about. I am older too and live in Florida so I know about the casual laid back clothes and way of life. I know about wrinkles and skincare products and all the things you had on your list. I too loved high heels and felt sad when it was time to give them up. I have found I'm more comfy without them. I have given up buying slot of extra sheets and towels and linens. I always had too much. I have more room in linen closet now. I have scaled back on ever thing. It actually feels good. Enjoy you so much keep doing what you are doing and I think you look great.
So, to answer your question, I have committed to using up all the expensive skin care products piled up on my face, neck, arms, & body. There’s too much and I’m not going to add to the pile. Also, am culling my wardrobe from the business professional and social dressy to the more casual lifestyle of my life now. Got rid of all the unused makeu, & am working my way thru what’s left! Thanks for the encouragement!
After I retired I held on to business dress clothes for a while, maybe six months. When I did a realistic culling of what I was no longer wearing I contacted a friend who had donated her business clothes to a charity that provided interview clothes to women in shelters. I contacted them and arranged a drop off. Good decision, I’ve never looked back. I quit wearing high heels way before that as I had foot and knee problems that high kneels made scream. It’s been many years since then and I’m happy with casual clothes, with a couple dressy outfits set aside for the rare occasion I need them,. I have sensitive skin and have always had a simple skincare routine. I am 69 and my life in California is casual and easy. After COVID we may do another cruise and I may pull out those dressy clothes. Until then, jeans and T shirts with earrings and some eyeshadow,and mascara are enough with a mask.
Thankyou
I agree everything on your list, and I am adding jewelry on my list, too.
No more eyeshadow pallets for me....I have enough to last me until I die!!!! This video was a great idea Patti❤
Lol
Me too..
Girl, you are so relatable. Thanks!
Covid changed everything,especially the way we view things that are important and the things that are of no consequence.
I retired last week and loved hearing this. I am trying to declutter before we move and I also do all of the crafts and have all of the makeup and clothes that no longer fit my new retired life!
I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one!
OMG, I decided to do the same thing with skin care and cosmetics! At 89 I think it’s about time 😉 I love every pair of your heels, so pretty and my taste. Great video and most importantly, congratulations on your milestone. Hugs, Senior diva 🥰
High end makeup, I’m done wasting money for all the hype. 🥸
I hear you on that one. I've bought high end mascara and didn't like the performance and went back to using my favorite L'Oreal original mascara. Love it and have used it for years. Don't know why I thought high end would be better.
@SS
Agreed! They've used our vanity too many years as they slipped their greedy hands in our purses. Disgusting when you think about it.
I agree with all the changes you’re making!! I’m ready for the change! ❤️❤️
Congrats Patty - if anyone deserves those high number subbies it's you!! As always we love ya and please keep those videos coming!!
Good for you Patty!!!
I too have to much, and there is healing in letting go!
I worked many years in Suits and heels!
I let those go years ago..
Iam getting older too, and freeing myself of all theses, makes me feel so free!!
Love ya girl!!×
Like you, my life changed A LOT after 45. I recently turned 60 & was widowed at 50, raised 5 kids hre in the same house 33 years now. A few years ago I realized I've held onto too much I'm just not ever going to wear or use again, so it's been purge time for me for 3 years now !!
Cocktail dresses, short white fur coat (now where would I ever wear that?), miserable shoes pretty to look at but torture on my spine, pants with waists that feel like a 1930's girdle or something, lingerie that is for a woman 20 to 40 years younger than I, gobs of tupperware specialty type containers for big events, cocktail glasses, 14 spatulas, 15 screwdrivers, old paint, sheets sets for sizes of beds I don't have anymore, jewelry too hard to get on by myself, then the makeup, hair care & tools, gadgets, lotions & potions..so many pantyhose. I just keep weeding it down but it never seems to end. I want to purge as much as possible because I don't want to leave a mess for my kids to have to go through one day, should I die suddenly. It wouldn't be fair to do that to anyone.... so I soldier on...(lol)
Surveying every closet, drawer, cabinet, garage, storage room made me realize if I down sized, as many do once their kids are grown up & gone, I would need to seriously decrease my "stuff" anyway. So around 50 I about stopped buying anything I didn't truly NEED. I began to ask myself (before every purchase) "Oh come on now, do you really need that or do you just WANT it?"
If I just want it, most the time I don't get it, but IF the 'WANT' is intense enough to buy it, the deal I've made with myself is; if I bring one new item home, I HAVE TO get rid of 2 items. The problem always has been & still is ; it's hard to get rid of thongs that are still in great condition & if I paid a lot for something, the degree of difficulty parting with it goes up exponentially. If it's a sentimental item, I take a picture of it, often that;'s enough to quell my reluctance to part with it. (It helps to know I can still SEE that stuffed toy monkey from my Aunt Marianne when I was 10). I also try to find others who can use these things that way I don;t feel they'll go to a dump somewhere & it is nice knowing someone will get use out of them.
Even though I always went through our belongings once or twice a year, there is still so much to get rid of or sell.
To anyone young, just starting out in life, select carefully everything you buy or bring into your house because possessions begin to own you and your time much more than you own them. Every knick knack has to be dusted, anything real leather takes extra work, cleaning & conditioning each year, each boat, snow mobile, air fryer, each piece of jewelry ,,..anything takes money and time to maintain, space to keep it in, bigger house means more time vacuuming, mopping. Be careful what you wish for, we older foljs have learned simpler is better.
Congratulations❣️ You have worked hard for the recognition so you can be proud of your work! Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪!
What beautiful flowers! I love your channel! Keep up the good work. I'm 72 and I take inspiration from every one of your videos.
Congrats to the winner!! Oh my goodness, your flowers are gorgeous! I'm with you on simplifying things and I think there's a freedom in doing just that! Have a great weekend!
Patti, I have done the same thing about buying so much. I walk past stuff and tell myself I do not need it.
So glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing! I’m just entering retirement and I am coming from the corporate world so I too am changing my lifestyle. I have cleaned out my closets, drawers, etc. Condensing down to classic styles in shirts and dresses (when I do need to wear one) my plan is to buy one casual and dressy outfit per season, right now, I only need it for summer. Winter will be sweaters (light, as I live in Texas). So I am with you sister.
Fantastic! I am so proud of, and for you! You are a beautiful, kind, and delightful lady! Thank you for giving the world a calm place to land:):)
You’re such a delight to watch, love your videos. Thank you for showing us you’re beautiful flowers and Congratulations! 🌹
It's amazing the amount of money we waste on non-essentuals.
PATTI, I’m sure you heard this before...you are awesome, a girlfriend, a mentor, a genius. I love listening to your advice and your practical side. Some people have the thought but can’t put it all in to action. I’m glad I took the time to watch your talk, today. You just saved me a bunch of money. Stay well and healthy.
I just recently purged every closet, drawer and dresser in my entire house! The make up drawer was the worst I had so many products! A lot of them were given to me so I just tossed him I still have plenty left.
Kathie, that is just what I have done also! I retired 2 1/2 years ago and started on a big whole house declutter (except for hubby's things, that would be rude, LOL! ), every closet, cupboard, and drawer! It has been the most liberating thing I have ever done!
I put all I wasn’t using in a bin under my bed. I shop there now instead of the drug store
I hope one day I can be blessed to have as many people listening and learning from me🙌🏻 I love you age with grace and class, something I try so hard to teach. I started my channel in March when I had to close my three holistic skin care salons because of Covid, The beauty channels are tough and I admire you very much. 🙌🏻 I hate I have had to give up my heels!!! Your just giving them up🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🍑Lisa
We recently made the move to the beach in Puerto Rico. I did get rid of a lot of winter clothes, but I cannot give up skin care, makeup and my pretty summer clothes. The day I don't care about my hair, nails and what I wear is the day I 'give up' on life. I can't imagine not caring about what I wear to the store - or heck, even to the mailbox. That's what keeps me vibrant.
I love, love the Divine elixir! Thank you for introducing me to that wonderful serum❤️
Patti you are talking about exactly what I am doing right now. I'm going through everything I mean everything my life is changing and I like the minimalist life style. I do like to have 2 of everything that will change alittle. My lifestyle is different now it's causal and easy going and I love it . I like to send my son in Texas a nice surprise and my granddaughters also I really enjoy it. This year so far as taught me that change needed to happen and that life is short so live love and be happy. Blessing be safe
It’s amazing how we realize when we reach a certain age that we don’t need all this ‘stuff’. You would never have convinced me to part with any of it 20 years ago, though!
Congrats on breaking 100k. You deserve it. Like you I am staying home and trying to clean out my excess. I have enough of skincare and makeup to last me forever! I’m not watching the shopping channels hardly ever anymore. Guess you could say I’ve done a 180!! And I don’t even miss my old ways.
I just love watching and listening (I hear your voice while I work around the house) to you and your advice. Thank you for being so inspirational and delightful.
High heels were the hardest thing for me as well. I love me some skyhigh heels but I had to give them up.
Have you tried wedges? I tore the ligaments in my foot when I fell and can’t wear high heels anymore as they don’t offer enough stability. I tried wedges and with my weight being spread over a larger area I found that I could walk safely and didn’t feel frightened of falling in them. Do what is best for you, I thought I would share something that worked for me.
@Becky Vickers Becky,this is my problem alone with reaching my feet. Soo I'm going to buy some slip-on shoes from now on. You know, the ones with no heels. Unless I find something better.
Im almost 55 and I miss my heels!!! I did find amazing wedges from Paul Greene. They are so comfortable!! But they were so expensive. I dont buy shoes because of my feet so I felt like it was worth it to buy them. They make me feel like I’m wearing a heel but so good for my feet and so well made. I hope you all have an amazing day!!!!!!!!!
🙌🏻🍑Lisa
I am 68 and starting to (sadly) not feel secure in high heels. I love them too, but have found some dressy flats lately to try.
The Sketchers are my everyday and so comfortable. Also trying to decide about my bicycle riding, will see about that in the next few weeks.
@@debbiereina6556
Debbie walking is just fine as well and a women in tennis shoes is beautiful! 🍑Lisa
Yes I agree with the Clark’s, they are my go too.
Love this! I have done the same! Enough foolish buying! Beautiful flowers! I also ordered headband to try! Congrats on your milestone.
Patti thank you for being here and sharing with us. Loved this video! Love hearing all your comments. You do so much on youtube to help us feel connected and happy!! Thank YOU!
Life has really changed, but I had already begun my purge. This happened to me as I experienced some health issues, as soon as I was able I begin to clean out and purge. I know my family will be grateful in times to come. It is so good to know I am not alone with these feelings. Thank you for all your wonderful advice.
I’m right with you! I quit coloring my hair, going to the nail salon and no more high heels!
Girl! You are my soul mate! I"m 79. I laugh so much at your videos and MY box of high heels , MY art supplies, MY closet bursting with clothes, MY makeup. You are my inspiration, I'm going to keep on keeping on.
Patti, Thank you for this video. I, too, am examining what I can do without, and it is liberating.
I feel everything you talked about not buying. Especially those high heels. I wore them all my life but find them uncomfortable for my legs and back. Love them but don't miss them. I wear a blockier 2 to 3 inch heel now. I think when we reach a certain age we can do without a lot of the things we thought necessary when younger. I just turned 71.
Your as ALWAYS an inspiration. I am so happy you reached the point that your going to get a SILVER Plaques 😀. Your honest and intelligence is inspirational to us as we go on our journey into aging. We all love you.
Congratulations Patti!!! We are all so happy for you!!! 😊💝🎉
I bought a couple of the square headbands on your recommendation & I LOVE them❤️❤️ no more temple headaches! Thank you- by the way your absolutely beautiful 😊
With Covid & early retirement I have given up nail salons, I use Static nails or I use Kiss. You look extra fab today!! Scratch behind the ears to Biscuit!! Be blessed.
Totally agreee about no longer needing everything I want or thought I wanted
What a refreshing outlook! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You have a new fan.
Congrats Patti!! I’ve been watching you for a while and you are a true inspiration! I have also stopped buying things that I always have in the past. I turn 70 this year and I’m reevaluating a lot of things in my life! Blessings to you!!
I have watched so many videos on mnimalism since the virus. Totally on board with buying less and purging!
Congrats. I absolutely love your videos. You inspire and ground me! Love from Nebraska.
Omg, I was so much like you...........it blows my mind the money I spent, the sales, the skin creams, the list goes on and on. I am 79 and am doing what I didn't have time to before. I am a book worm, always have been. Now I go when I want too for a vacation, but when I find a book I love I stay with that book til I finish it. No more fancy cloths that some never ever got wore. How sad..!!!
I am so there with you on re-evaluating what it is that I really need. I am 71 so I totally get your thought process.
High heels have always hurt my feet. I love how they look and I, too, have a pair of black patent leather for the odd occasion I need to dress up. Heels make us look slimmer, make our legs look more shapely, but at 63 I don't need to worry about that. ❤ Love your channel!
I was from NY and dressed up every day. I live very casually now.
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! You really got me thinking - and that is good!!! I agree with you we buy too much and already have too much!!! Thank you for sharing!! Enjoyed the video very much! Great job!
It was so good to hear your 10 don’t dos! I’ve been slowly implementing this same policy but hearing you has encouraged to get going more quickly! Always need a push!
Your flowers 💐 are beautiful! I just retired in January of this year and I’m so happy to say zI never have to buy scrubs and white tennis shoes again! I’m having to slowly purchase regular clothes. After wearing nothing but scrubs for 22 years I noticed I didn’t have many regular clothes. I like your fashion shows because I admit I need help with my fashion sense after all those years.
Huge congratulations Pati , you so deserve it ,,,,much love always from Kat in Australia xxoo
Thanks for your videos, Patti and congrats on your milestone. How awesome!!
It was so nice to hear you! I couldn't agree more with your decitions and your pourposes. God bless you!!!!
i Love your top! Love it! Congradulations. What a"cheerful" bouquet. Love your cheerful straighforward opinions. I feel pretty much the same way. as soon as my new room & the one that connects the 2 together is finished I intend to go through everything I have & make my life so simple I'll be bored. lol Well not . but, simple so I can find what I'm looking for. Love you Patti. You have made my life so much better in every way. OXO
I’m so happy for you!! You’ve done a wonderful thing for all us older women!! I think someone should start up a catalog with in-style clothes for older women!!! I love pretty clothes!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I often get depressed about aging. It can be so scary to watch yourself change. I have felt my world getting smaller and smaller for some time now. I have realized I don’t need more “stuff”.
You are so beautiful! I wish my skin looked like yours. I would start using the oils but I’m sure it’s too late for me. Thank again for being there for those of us who are 70+. You truly are a rock star! 🥰
Congratulations Patti! Well deserved. Love watching you.
I can't wear high heels because I have too many knee problems. I love
Sketchers! They're so comfortable.
Congratulations! I watched your nail video and it looked so simple I ordered some & I hope it is as easy as you showed. Thanks 😊. I have decided not to buy any more big eyeshadow pallets, and I am using Hot & Flashy’s skincare which is a lot cheaper than expensive cream’s & serum. There is one person whose videos I watch who uses a powder that cost $100 to say that isn’t in my budget and I am not sure it works any better than what I have! I am not buying clothes except for a few new casual since I am not going many places. I did buy a new top from Walmart that you showed and I really love it! I have become a picky shopper! Thanks 🙏🏻
You definitely deserve the Silver Plate Button! You are the best, most down to earth, honest, you tuber ever! We all love you so much! You’re such a big part of our lives! ❤️
Patti, congratulations on your you tube milestone. You are an inspiration and so lovely. I could listen to you all day.❤
I just love you! There I think you are the most down to earth lady I've enjoyed. I so agree with you on your 10 list. Yes, I am using elf now. I always bought high end makeup. But you started me awhile back on Elf. Wow what a difference in price. Funny thing it does exactly the same thing. Now if you could work on habit of clothes! Thank you Patti.
I love this cause I am doing the same thing. I have too much stuff that I will never use or need
Congratulations on your achievement! I am so happy for you. You are my inspiration. Love you Ms Patti!
Congrats Patti..that’s is so awesome , I’m so happy for you❤️
Congratulations to a very pretty lady. Love ya ! ❤
Oh Patti: I just have to add. I look at the headbands... gorgeous
It's amazing how I have been thinking about the same things and have starting reevaluating what I actually need, not just buying for the sake of buying (getting something new in the mail). I retired five years ago and quickly donated all my high heels and business suits. Now, I need to cancel subscription boxes for makeup, jewelry and clothes, and start doing my own nails. I had always treated myself to fresh nails every month, but I need simplicity in my life. Thank you for sharing this video.
Congratulations we really do enjoy seeing you and listening to your opinion’s on everything.Absolutely beautiful flowers 🌸 You are so right about skin care unless we are going to have surgery it really doesn’t do much
I just found you, I enjoyed this so much. With the way things are these days, you have a lot of time to think. I’m done with a lot of buying things as well, especially make. I’m 65, and I no longer need a lot of this stuff. Great video!
Quarantine got me in high gear for a "Swedish death cleaning" I had kitchen gadgets I never used, and were so odd looking I didn't even know what they were used for! A 3-car garage with no work space, because of clutter on the work benches. A closet FULL of 3 different sizes of clothing, not only mine, but my late Mom and Sis's "stuff". All are now cleaned except for some clothing items I can't make up my mind about.....Our local Humane Society will benefit.....and now I must go back to the closet for an hour of de cluttering (I limit it to a hour at a time, it keeps me on a schedule) Your video made me feel like "I'm not the ONLY one".......Thanks
Andrea, when deciding what to keep or let someone else enjoy, ask yourself 3 questions: Do I use it? Do I love it? Would I buy it again? This has helped me a lot.
Congratulations!! Make it 200!! So happy for you!!
Molly and I are thrilled with your amazing milestone! We think you are such a special person. You have shared your success with us in such a sweet incredible way. We are so grateful and celebrate your much deserved 103,000 plus subscribers! ♥️
