I stumbled upon you because of your crockpot videos and I've subscribed to both of your channels because you're so relatable and kind-hearted. These casual videos are lots of fun.
I think you do a great job with your makeup ! If you do wear waterproof mascara for swimming, etc - the best makeup remover I have ever used is the Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Melting Balm. It really does melt your makeup off and then you just wipe it off and use another cleanser to get the residue off. It’s a little pricey but a jar lasted me over a year. Also I worked for a dermatologist for many years and she recommends to ALWAYS use a facial sunscreen under your makeup foundation. You don’t apply as much foundation as you do sunscreen, therefore your protection is not as good. Most of our aging and spots are due to the sun so we really can’t have to much sun protection on. Thank you for sharing your morning ! I really enjoyed seeing your routine.
Ohhh that hair when you teased it up..! You were doing the 80's justice! Haha! Great to see a very realistic, normal person, not quite 40 but close, get ready with me. Have a great day!
The liner and mascara on top lashes only is actually a tip my friend gave me. She is a makeup artist. She says putting liner and mascara on your bottom lashes ages you. So I always just do the top lashes too!
I may have told you this before, but both of my children are adopted. My almost 19 year old daughter was adopted through foster care and my 17 year old son was adopted at birth. We also had a foster baby in between, who we thought we were going to adopt, but he went back to his mom. I guess it was meant to be, because if he had stayed with us, we probably wouldn’t have adopted our son. My children are coincidentally exactly 16 months apart.
Mary Kay. does Have a New Matte Make up, that is like the full coverage, I really like it, also they have a Pancake makeup that is good, and what is amazing about this it covers so well but it's so light and not heavy at all. i use both. If you would like to try it free of charge , I will be glad to send you some. and not samples either.
Discovered your channel earlier this year. Think Jessica Donahue or Frugal Fit Mom sent me here. Didn’t realize until lately you have 2 channels. Curious why 2 channels?
I’m loving this new channel- I really enjoy your cooking videos, too, but I’ve really liked having more of your vlogging available. And you’re far better at makeup than I am!
I have so enjoyed both of your channels - I love how relaxed and real you are. You have been helpful to me in being more mindful of spending money on groceries.
My hubby and I are almost a year apart. He turned 40 last September and I don't turn 40 until the end of August. He has 2 older brothers and they're both married. So of the 6 of us I'm the only one still in my 30's, for now!!! 🤣🤣💜💚
Thanks for sharing a realistic 30-40 year old mom makeup routine. I would highly recommend watching the channel Hot and Flashy her name is Angie. The name sounds risqué but it is totally not, she is full of great information. As already mentioned it is highly recommended to put on a separate SPF and the best one is a mineral based that has zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. It actually reflects the sun’s rays where as the other types allow them to be absorbed into the skin.
Great video! Having to deal with the Texas sunmer has taught me to use sunscreen everyday. Heard somewhere that even if our foundation includes sunscreen, we don't apply enough to get the SPF listed on the product. Btw, I usually do liner/mascara on the top only too because it makes my eyes appear larger & I don't get the dark smudges underneath. 😊
That is my holy grail foundation, I do still use regular SPF on my face especially in the summer. Also elf now has a similar foundation now that’s okay for a budget foundation, it’s $14 vs the $50 for IT and very comparable!
I really love your videos! 😍 i am almost same age as you and I have extremely dry skin ...🤷♀️but since I've switched to the french pharmacy brands I can see a lot of improvement.try it If you have in US
You look so cute in your video.. I love it because it’s a nice.. natural look. I don’t use makeup everyday because I’m just not that good with it.. you’ve been very helpful.
Thank you for supporting your friend in her business 🎉❤
I loved getting to know you more even tho this video is over 3 years old. Lol.
I really appreciate how authentic you are. Thanks for sharing parts of your life with us.
Thanks for watching, Megan! :)
Good morning. I really enjoy your videos. It's like hanging out with a friend.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching! :)
I feel the same!
Mindy, you always brighten my day. You live very mindfully & intentionally; your priorities are straight. Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
McKenna is a happy little girl to be part of your family. I’m glad she has you and you family and glad you have her.

Love love this side of you and your life! You can just be YOU and not spend valuable time editing. Go Mindy!!!
My parents got me a Chi when I was 13 and I still have it! I’m 28 so 15 years ain’t bad. Literally nothing compares.
The liner and mascara on top lashes only is actually a tip my friend gave me. She is a makeup artist. She says putting liner and mascara on your bottom lashes ages you. So I always just do the top lashes too!
That’s what I remember, too! It’s supposed to help my eyes look bigger. So I only do bottom liner when I’m on stage for something.
Thanks for sharing. I know videos like this can take you out of your comfort zone, but they are helpful to share with us😊

Mandy in the making had a eyelash curler that warms up !
I really enjoy your vlogs

These types of videos weren’t performing well on my primary channel, so I brought them over here because I enjoyed making them. 😊
I’m loving this new channel- I really enjoy your cooking videos, too, but I’ve really liked having more of your vlogging available. And you’re far better at makeup than I am!
I had to stop a few times because I work from home. But I really enjoyed this video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Brandi!

Loved this vlog! Also hey fellow C Section mama! 👋💖 Xxxx
Great video!!
You look pretty. We have one daughter adopted internationally and are currently adopting from Foster care. Quite the journey ❤️😃
That is awesome! Best wishes to your family!
With or w/o makeup you are so cute. I feel like we are good friends.
That is my holy grail foundation, I do still use regular SPF on my face especially in the summer.
Also elf now has a similar foundation now that’s okay for a budget foundation, it’s $14 vs the $50 for IT and very comparable!
I'll be on the lookout for that!
You do great!! I love when gals still look like themselves make up or not :) you look lovely and I'm no pro so everything looked correct to me 🤣
Great video.

You look so cute in your video.. I love it because it’s a nice.. natural look. I don’t use makeup everyday because I’m just not that good with it.. you’ve been very helpful.
It's not my forte either, Tracey. I enjoy the days when I don't bother with it, and there are more of those in summer for me! :)
Be careful with the scented stuff on your face. Try Vitamin C for the dark spots, works wonders.
This is unscented.
