Hi Susan, I found your channel when I was at the lowest point in my life about a year & 1/2 ago. Sadly, we've lived through similar experiences. Your beautiful videos, music & sharing of your life - good & bad have helped me so much, thank you. Your talks of skin care became my obsession over the last months, I'd hate to admit how many beauty products I've bought, but it boosted my spirits. We are similar in age, I worshiped the sun in my youth and then for the last 30+ years I have mindlessly & inconsistently slathered my skin with expensive creams, never really believing they did that much. When I saw how you transformed your skin with various life changes, it amazed me. I think the first product you mentioned that really notably changed your skin was a Loreal Serum, I was shocked that a drug store product could do that. I tried it and most of the other ones you've mentioned and I know my skin is amazingly better. I've always gotten compliments on my skin but now I see it myself and I owe it to you, I now enjoy & look forward to taking care of my skin every day with such amazing products that I BELIEVE in. You are a great educator and I thank you for sharing your experiences. We all need a pity party occasionally. All I can say is be glad you have someone to miss when you aren't able to be with them, I have no kids or grands, imagine the sadness that brings. I'm glad I have my little Shih Tzu, Mr. Osmond, he's an amazing companion. My love to you and Desi.
OH Gina....I am so glad you wrote me this....your words helped me so much today...it is such a joy to hear you not only like your new skin but you look forward to doing your routine. I think that is so key...when we believe in what we are doing...and it's not costing us a fortune...it is just so fun! I truly don't know how our skin could get any softer for brighter do you?!!! Thank you so much for being here....I am so glad you found me and Desi.
Gina Gray, I hope you are doing well. Reading your comment kind of made me sad. We do not have children or grands either. I am blessed to have my Husband, but I worry how I will feel when I am by myself. I am 63 yrs old. Blessings to you and your doggy. I too, love Susan a Desi and look so forward to her videos. She has such a beautiful spirit and her videos help me a lot on every level. Take Care, Hugs, Debra
Susan, when I watch your videos, I feel like I am sitting there right alongside you on your couch, just two good friends having a talk. That's how good you are at reaching out to your audience, like you are just talking to one of your good girlfriends, right there in your home. You are a truly sincere person. :)
Beautiful, just beautiful, You carry me away each week. I loved the spring blooms and all the nature shots. I don’t leave comments very often, but I always look forward to your videos. And of course I look forward to seeing Desi.
The smallest thing made me so happy watching this and that is Desi looked at the camera. I have been feeling down for a few weeks and seeing you and Desi always lifts my spirit. Take care and give Desi a big hug from me.
We should be always grateful for what we have in life and have gratitude but usually we either forget or we think about what we don't have...your story about the blind woman was just so heartwarming Susan and brought me to tears. I got the feeling that it was a sign for you at that moment in time and now a reminder for me too...Thank you my friend
Susan, I've noticed the last two weeks that Desi is looking right at the camera once in awhile, more than he used to. He is so precious and I look forward to seeing you both every week. You really lift my spirits and make my day! Blessings, Gerene
I love your take on life! I'm soon to be 63, a widow and now alone again after having my mom live with me for 9 years who just pasted in March! With these crazy days, I too have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I also try to see the positive in life but some moments it can get lost! Thank you for understanding and showing me thru your lens that each day is a gift if we choose to "see" it!🌼🌻☀️
Hi Anna, I know what you are feeling, My mom is now in a nursing home. Some days I miss her, some days I resent her for the way she did and didn't treat me & my dad, some days I wish she would pass away, some days I'm afraid she'll pass away. It is a roller coaster of emotions. I just pray a lot and try to leave it all with the dear Lord. I agree, I try to find the gifts and give back every where I can.
@@ginagray603 I hope you can find peace! One thing is to find forgiveness! Don't let her last days pass without it! You'll free yourself. If I could get my last month back with my mom, I'd have done more! Grief can bring on regrets so don't live in the past. I wish I had held my mom at the end, just to have that last touch and love connection. Now I can't! 😢 God bless!
Anna White oh you are so right, i so regret that 5 minutes that I closed my eyes, if I could have the last 5 minutes back when my mom passed. Me and my sister were at my moms bedside sitting next to her holding her hands, they had given her 72 hrs at the most. We both had been up close to 24 hrs that 2nd day and I told my sister I was going to close my eyes for a 5 minute nap, I left her side, that’s when she passed, my sister said she had opened her eyes and smiled and said momma then she was gone. I’ll never forgive myself and it’s been 7 years next month that she’s been gone.
@@BlingyBea I'm sorry! It's hard but we have to let those regrets go! Our moms would be saying they are so happy now and please be happy too! I try to flip those negative thoughts to my mom and all our great memories! 💜
Susan, your videos just get better and better. I really enjoyed this one. You are so funny and your videos calm me and give me hope. You are so beautiful in that color and your face just glows. Today, I went out to Target and Kroger for the first time since the end of February. It was so surreal to see us all in masks and trying to keep our 6 ft distance from each other. I just wanted to cry...Then there were all the signs in the stores to limit what we can buy ...and all of the empty shelves...When I got home, I told my husband, I was never going out again...When I saw your video, it made my day. Maybe I’ll try again another day. Thank you, Janis
I started the snail essence about 3 weeks ago. You loved it so much and I just had to try it. Well, I just love it! I do notice a difference and I also put it on the tops of my hands. I am 59 and will be 60 in September. I have lived in California my entire life and had to much sun! lol I try to avoid the sun as I had squamous cell carcinoma on my nose and ended up having 4 surgeries! I am a full time caregiver to a lovely 83 year old lady. She’s always tells how beautiful my face is. I tell her, beauty comes from within. I just love your videos, Please never stop making them! I get so excited on Friday nights knowing I get to watch another new video. You are just precious and so is Desi. I definitely see the difference in your before pictures and how you look now. You are just so beautiful on the inside and out. Thank you again my friend for everything you do to enlighten us all❤️. Kelly from the central coast of California 😎
Hi Susan!! I've noticed that for the last month or more after I've seen your video I'll think "that's her best yet"!!!! Your videos just get better and better and your talent as a photographer is amazing! My Katie Rose and I are sending Desi snuggles!! Hope you have a wonderful week-end my friend!! Love you, Jodi
Thank you Susan, for another beautiful video. You're positivity and zen is contagious. And much needed these days. AND you are beautiful and talented to boot ❤️
A few years ago I went through a pretty traumatic life experience and it started showing in my appearance. I discovered TH-cam to pass the time and help with depression. I am so happy I found your channel! I started using Rosehip Oil after watching your videos. If I can look half as pretty as you when I am your age, I’m in!
Thanks for sharing your skincare favorites. I am 80 years old and have pretty decent skin. My question is do you layer all the night care products one on the other? Would you please demonstrate the process. Thanks again.
Susan, you are such a beautiful soul. I love the music and nature parts you add to your videos, they are so lovely. I find you so calming and your voice and tone are so soothing to listen too. You look great for 65 and I love all the informative you share about skincare. I absolutely love that oil diffuser too and I plan on purchasing one. Stay well and God bless!
I do love skincare, too. Aren't swans beautiful? I don't think I have ever seen one in person. Your skin is just beautiful. I think the best products are the ones that work for each of our complexions. I really do. There isn't a right way or a wrong way and I don't believe Retin A is for everyone either. I like it, but that doesn't mean it's right for my neighbor. You have discovered what your skin likes and it shows. It's just glowy and gorgeous and young. I really enjoyed this, Susan! Stay safe! Lots of love, Melissa
Hello Melissa!!! I was just thinking of your video, the fantasy vs. the reality of my skincare! Every night when I do my routine I always fantasize I will wake up looking 30 again!!! The reality is..well..not so much but I am happy. Your skin is so lovely!!! We are the same age...all I can say it, it isn't easy...NOTHING is easy anymore! Thank yous so much for being here...I love your awesome channel...!!! Love always from me and Desi!
Love your channel as well Melissa. You two ladies are so pretty with lovely skin. I was born in Nov/55. So I’m the same age. Many people have told me that they think I’m much younger. Makes my day!
Haha I did the same thing when I went to CVS to pickup my meds and on the way out I saw paper towels and toilet paper, I was going to buy a few pak till I saw the limit one package of each. I bought mine and went out to my car and immediately called my sister and niece to go to CVS, isn’t that crazy, never thought that would ever happen. That story about the Blind Lady brought tears, God is always with us when we need it the most, he always provides signs. Oh Wyatt, I want a hug. Desi your looking straight into the camera, you sweet precious boy.💖🙏🏻🐾
Wow that story has me in a puddle of tears.Isn't it sad that she had to say thank you for seeing me cause many probably wouldn't have.You have such a kind and beautiful soul and you also have some gorgeous skin.xoCathy
I'm using Burts Bees Cleansing Oil. And I use Mary Kay Cream Foaming Cleanser. Then I use the Acure rosehip seed oil, the carrot seed oil you recommend and Azure Hemp Aloe oil. In the morning I use Neutrogena Facial Sunscreen SPF 70. Then Neutrogena tinted moisturizer. At night I use Mary Kay Nightcream.
Hi Sues! I want to thankyou for always having a wonderful message for us in your videos. And I love skincare. But let me tell you Sues. When I grow up, I wish I could look as pretty as you. I hope you know that I have a sense of humor. I'm only a few years younger than you. But I'm serious about you looking so pretty. There are certain times when you're out and about filming where I see my mom in your face. I showed you to my brother and saw it too. My mom had hazel eyes. We lost her when she was 63 years old. At the time I was 30 and thought she was old, but so pretty. Omg! I look at you, and how young you look and realized how young my mom was back then. We knew we lost her too young. But watching you, really made me see it. I love alot of your skincare recommendations. I love them all. The pumpkin mask. The O Naturals Hemp Cream. Day and Night. The Azure Hemp and Aloe Serum. Love it! And I got the Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence and the Advanced Snail 92 all in one cream. Oh, and I got the day and night creams from Italy. The Nutr-C. Among other recommendations from others. I should be a raving beauty with all these products! Hahaha! I have to confess that I was hesitant about trying the Snail stuff. And it's not the most appealing goup that I've ever tried, but it is moisturizing. Time will tell. I know exactly how you feel about missing your kids. Me too. Face Time is nice, but nothing replaces a real hug. I get sad too. And then I think each day that passes , we get closer to the end of all of this. With the help of God. I so appreciate running right out the door and going and talking to people. Sometimes we have to miss things and people to appreciate. We sure are getting a lesson in that department. Well, I've babbled on enough. Thankyou Sues for everything you do for us. I so appreciate you ladies out here. You're all the best. Have a good week and I'll see you next week. A great big hug to you and Desi!!! 🤗🌹❤😘
I am 45, and just loove your videos 🥰🥰 Thank You for what you do and how you do it! And I am now a very happy owner of a bottle of organic rosehip seed oil because of you.
Your videos of springtime in Michigan are so beautiful! Here in Florida we do have spring flowering trees and flowers but they don't burst forth like they do after a long cold winter! You are such a blessing to me every Saturday morning - I look forward to your video all week. You and Desi are THE BEST! xoxo
That sure humbles you doesn’t it . I’m just like you it makes me so sad for the unfortunate . I had a hard time my family is in Maryland and Iowa and my mom passed away on Mother’s Day 2015 it’s always hard . The times are so different now and their are so many people that are having a hard time . Bless you and your family. Everyone stay safe 💕💐
I do look forward to your videos every week. First, I get my coffee then head to the balcony to get fresh air and see the blooming poinsettia trees. Deep orange color. Your photography is magnificent and the swan was so graceful. Each day I pass one of our large hospitals 🏥 with a massive sign at the driveway entrance which says “HOPE”. It encourages me that things will get better but we must still safeguard ourselves. Also at this hospital is a large man made lake with lots of ducks. I decided to stop and feed them the other day. It was a sight. So many came around me and I was throwing bread 🍞 in all directions. I did learn it is better to shred the bread before leaving home. I did ask them if they knew you and Desi but they replied that it was too cold where you live so they are staying here in Florida. Desi is feeling the binge eating pressure of being inside all day so a little extra food is on his mind. Love his adorable face. Tell him to check his email for his recipe. Stay safe 😎❤️💄Kathy
Watch all of your videos and only comment occasionally, but plan to change that. You are such an inspiration....I just get so much pleasure out of watching you. I always wish I lived near you so I could ask you to come over and read me a bedtime story or sing me a lullaby! And I could just eat Desi up! Thanks for sharing all your great skin care tips...There sure working for you girl! You look beautiful! I'm holding at 70 now and starting to feel it. All the best!
I have just started watching your channel. I have a lot to learn about skincare. I have neglected it terribly because of money and depression. I'm very excited to learn that there are drugstore products that I can use and afford. My problem is that I don't know what order to use them all in. I need help with that but don't know where to look for it.
Hi sweetie. Hemp has gotten so popular. I have some hemp seed oil and I like it too. I love skin care. I prefer skin care over makeup. I do love enjoying new products. It is like an exploration to find something new. I don't mind at all when companies send me products or sponsor me to try products, I like that because I would probably buy them so to get them for free or share them with viewers for a small fee is not a problem at all. You need to be very careful with dermarolling. One of the most important things for skin health is water! We need to be sure to drink lots of water. YOur before and after pictures are amazing. That diffuser is so you! lovely. We are all grateful to be seen.
I have been using rosehip seed oil ever since you started talking about it. At 58, I'm staring down the barrel at 60. I think I'm going to be a great-looking 60!
Desi, like everyone who is social distancing and staying home, is eating more food because he is bored. Animals are sensitive to change. No matter what, he is absolutely adorable. Girl, I'm a skincare junkie, but I will not spend obscene prices for it. I'm fortunate that RetinA doesn't cause my skin to be dry and flaky. Any vitamin A derivative will work wonders on your skin. The key is consistently. Susan, you got me using carrot seed oil, and I've recently started using kiwi seed oil. It soaks in quickly and makes my skin glow. Thank you for another beautiful video. You really have an excellent eye for filming. You and Desi stay safe.
Hi beauty!! I loooove facial oils too and have the same snail 🐌serum you have too... Serums and oils are the best! I love your passion and sincerity!! Your coffee ☕️scrub looks delicious! Love you and Mr Dez! xoxoxoxoxoxoxox Carol P.S. Very touching ending!! And your grandson looks just like you.💋
What a wonderful story of the beautiful lady who is blind....Thank you for seeing me...really brought tears to my eyes. What we take for granted everyday and feel sorry for ourselves, it takes something like this to look at ourselves and be thankful. Susan thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us.
Susan...grace, elegance, and sincerity is ageless, though I feel as women age, they garner more wisdom and grace. Women relate to other women no matter how young or old. Your channel is timeless , and my weekly joy! Thank you for always keeping it gently real. 💕
Thank you Susan💕you’re so lovely inside and out! I am 66 and have been using the same skincare routine since I was in high School, The school’s gift to our graduating class for the girls was a representative from seventeen magazine sharing skincare ideas that I still use, steaming my face once a week then a mask of egg white organic honey and lemon juice! It’s worked great until recently so maybe I’ll try some of your suggestions too!!! Thank you Susan!! Have a wonderful week! Hi Desi✌️
Bought Palmer's oil yesterday, used it once and I love it. I'm 63, have been taking care of my skin since my 30's but not as religustly as the last 5 years. I started to do research, loving wearing makeup and really taking care of my skin... Continue your good work!
Susan your beautiful inside and out . You look so pretty in pink that’s your color .Give Desi a big hug for me . God Bless you and Des take care stay safe. Love you so much 💐
Your videos are just so beautiful Susan. I got emotional at the end because I too felt very sad because my daughter did not call or even text me on Mother’s Day. She is serving in the military in another state. But then I realized Happiness is a choice. I thought about of how proud I am of my daughter and the sacrifices she is making to serve. The day got brighter and I was no longer sad. ❤️ Thank you for making videos... I enjoy them so much.😘
Oh I know how you feel...when we feel our child doesn't show us love or affection that pain goes so deep. I find when I feel that way it's wehn I am alrady feeling low. Your daughter must be under so much stress but I bet she loves her Mother so very much....I am so glad you are here Sheir!!!
Greetings Susan! I just love you and I look forward to hearing from you every week! You look especially beautiful tonight. What a touching story about the lady on your walk, and don't we all need to be seen... Blessings 🙏
Susan thank you si much for sharing yr emotions with us. You are so real and so kind. I am embarking on a new life after being with my husband for 34 years.the future is so uncertain but I am surrounded by beautiful friends.
Hello Susan! First of all, soft pink looks absolutely GREAT on you! What you told about the blind woman brought tears to my eyes and yes, we have to be grateful for what we have. Love to you and the Dez and see you next week.
Hello Susan. I’m so glad I found you. I’m 61 years this year. You have totally inspired me. I can’t get enough of your videos. You are a true inspiration. Keep up the good work beautiful lady. 😍
oh Susan, I loved your video tonight ! You really make me feel special getting to see you, Desi, and your beautiful filming. Love all the skincare suggestions too Have a beautiful weekend. Lots of love and happiness sweetheart !!! Thanks for all you do, Mary Ann in Tx.
What an incredibly beautiful intro...your content, editing, lighting and music are gorgeous... Your voice is so full of love for life and this is a true gift for us...Thank you, thank you for this vlog... Thank you for being in my day...!!❤️✌🏼✨
I wrote down some of your skin products....love makeup and learning about products that I can afford on my budget to give a try. You are so beautiful....a breath of fresh air! Happy from Tennessee, mom and grandmother.... hopes to see you soon on your awesome channel 💕
Good morning Susie!! Enjoyed seeing the beautiful nature! Yes, you helped the blind woman, but she helped you more! You are aging in reverse!! I wish I loved skincare as much as you. But, I do it anyway. Our approach to skincare is different, but we both get good results. Mother's day was a tough day for me too. I had a not so gentle reminder last week to remind me how lucky I am Blessings, and love to you, and The Dez..Mimi
OH Mimi...I agree with you 100%....we all are different and one size does not fit all. I don't react well to skincare and cosmetic companies...I have learned to trust very few. I don't mind do sponsored videos for household items I think my sweet subs might like, but when it comes to their health, argh....I take it so hard if I feel I fail at that. Your results fromyour skincare routine and just beautiful and I think someday I will see you in person and film you! Oh I would so love that to be able to film you and Jim...and maybe get a song or two. Have a safe weekend! xxoo Love to you from me and Desi always!
Your skin is so luminous!! I LOVE lips scrubs, I'll have to try the coffee scrub. My lips are deflating, lol. I just ordered some City Lips glosses and they offered a discount on the masks when I checked out but I declined...I wish I tried them now.
Hi Lisa!!! Great to see you!! I meant to say Coffee masks....I do love them so! Your skin si so pretty, I bet you would enjoy them too! Happy Tuesday!!! xxoo Sues & Desi
Your artist quality is so beautiful, particularly that shot with the water spraying over the bottle of oil in the beginning. I would never think to do that, but for you it's instinct. I wish I could go to TJ Maxx where I used to see the cleanser's and creams you showcased. I'm a little tired of shopping online. Desi knows you love him so much and won't be bad about his food indiscretion. :))
Hi Susan, actually I watch your videos because I just love your videography and enjoy your content regardless of what the topic is! The skincare information is great too. Have a blessed weekend and take care! ☺️❤️🙏🏽☀️💐
You are stunning now. I'm a firm believer in my oils. I can't live without them. Ahhh, ice cream sounds Devine, and what a great woman you are, with a big heart, and those gifts others give and teach us are what connects us. Sending much peace and love to you and Desi 💜 and all out there. Desi's face 💜 just no words 💜
I always look forward to watching your videos, such a refreshing woman. I wanted to say keep doing what your doing stay uplifted, you are one of my favorite TH-cam persons.
Just another Saturday morning !!!! Love all the scenery, it is a beautiful place !! Thanks for calming my nerves and making me smile again as usual. It does remind me to be grateful for all I do have. Love you, Simone
Thank you Susan for your beautiful honesty and sharing your gift. The woman's response to you, "Thank you for seeing me." Isn't that what we all want? To be seen, appreciated, and valued. You saw her fall and she saw your heart. Beautiful! I too believe these are signs from above to open our eyes to our own blessings. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to watching your videos on Saturdays. You have such a gift of sharing your heart in a way where so many like myself can relate no matter our age. I'm 55 and started my skincare journey a year ago. Your before and after photos prove that it's never too late. My favorite reward for caring for my skin is not needing to go back to my photos to retouch what I considered my imperfections. I was such a cheater when it came to touching up my photos. My goal was to love the skin I'm in and now I truly do.
I'm 52 and never miss your videos either. A couple of mornings I had my days mixed up and thought it was Saturday when actually it was Friday. I'd get worried why you didn't have a video out. You soothe my soul for the time I'm with you. Kim
Thank you for simple reminders to cherish what we have now. I love your channel. You bless me with your wonderful spirit, sense of humor and insightful tips. ❤️
I'm taking notes on skincare. My skin is on the dry side, so I'll try the oils. Thank you so much for sharing your routines. You have such an artistic way with presenting your videos. So calming. So beautiful. ❤❤❤
I Absolutely love You So Much ❤️ I found You little over a year ago, I haven't missed any since.. I am binging older videos, So I'm Just seeing this one 🥰 I cried at your story of the Woman that fell, But yet Smiled.. You and your Channel are Wonderful
I’m 47, but I love your channel and I think the stuff you talk about is relevant to all women....... you’re so knowledgeable and I’ll always watch !!!! Hope you’re staying well .... hugs to Dezi
hello. I am originally from Grand Rapids, born and grew up there. I was born with very sensitive skin, a little on the oily side, probably inherited from my father's Swedish side. As I have gotten older, mid fifties (am I really that old? huh) one constant practice I have developed when my face gets sensitive (and city water, and other irritants can always do this). I get out the quick oats. Yep. That canister of Quaker. You can take the dry oats as they are or process into a powder. Make up about 1-2 cups and keep separate in a plastic container. When you want to use it on your face, this is what you do. Move your hair back from your face, you want to avoid getting it in your hair. It isn't harmful, it just doesn't work in your hair. :-) Take about 2 tbls in a small dish, add the same amount of hot tap water and blend til it becomes a paste. You can add vanilla or essential oil to have it gently fragranced, or leave as is. While it is still warm, spread on your face and leave it for about 2-3 minutes. Then just rinse it off. You can do this before you jump in the shower and let the shower rinse it off. Let your face dry. You will be amazed at the feeling. It has a sort of soft powder and there are oils in oatmeal that generate when heated. It neutralizes sensitive skin and makes it happy. I also don't use soap on my face, I just rinse it or use Noxzema for a deep clean. I also don't use regular lotion on my face. Ah, yes. Get some EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) 1/2 Cup in a microwave safe bowl. Add a teaspoon of Rosemary, Basil, Lavender, or a combination of gentle herbs. Heat it for about 2 minutes, then let set to cool down. The herbs wake up when heated. Then strain it thru a small sieve. And store it in a bottle. I use about a teaspoon full on my face daily. I just pour it in my hand, rub it over both palms and wipe on my face. Let set a minute, then gently tissue off any excess. A natural herbal aromatic oil, soothing on my face. It works. And one of the most important ways of improving your skin, includes good nutrition. That tricky thing. I have been very curious about Green Smoothies. I like smoothies. I have developed a Green Smoothie Shake I try to have at least 5 days a week. Reese Witherspoon creates her own and I watched her video on that. That got me thinking. So I created my own Breakfast Green Smoothie Shake. I fill the tallest Ninja Glass 1/2 way with ice, Add a handful of fresh spinach. Then 2 big tbls of Greek Yogurt (Fage` is the best and real Greek Yogurt), add a bit of frozen fresh mango, some Stevia, And then fill it about 3/4 way up with a juice, right now I like Pineapple Juice. Then I blend it smooth. It is so good and full of protein, greens, yogurt, etc. It also helps your skin get nutrients thru your body. Ah. yes. It takes some discipline to do it. But it is good and not a heavy breakfast. Just my idea.
Hi Susan. What a dear, sweet soul you are. It was a difficult Mother's Day, wasn't it? My oldest son has recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and on Mother's Day he was in tremendous pain from it. My younger son has very bad anxiety which reared its head in concern for his brother. It puts things in perspective. This year the only thing I wanted for Mother's Day was for my sons to be well. The oldest is now in the hospital waiting for surgery (today is his birthday and I can't visit due to pandemic restrictions), and the younger is still struggling with anxiety. Like the blessing you felt from helping the blind lady, I feel blessed by family and friends sending loving and supportive messages every day. As for skincare, I started using Pixi skincare (available at Target or online) about 18 months ago and have seen a big improvement in my 60 year old skin. They have a wide range of products that address lots of skin concerns. Take care, Susan. Thank you so much for your lovely videos. Sending love to you and Desi.
There is so much we miss seeing! That woman was meant to be there at that time for you as we all need reminders every now and then. Loved the outfit changes and those pink earrings. Awesome message Susan, hugs to you and Desi.
I was just thinking that you and I have the same skin tone and texture ( your skin is smoother than mine) and how GREAT you would look in peach with peach earrings! I love it that we love the same makeup and we don't really have any undertones!!! I love it...so European of us!!! You have a new vide I have not seen so I am going over to your channel! Love to you and Jay from me and Desi and I am saying a prayer for your Dad and tired Mama...oh how they all suffer now. " Thank you for seeing me" ...I truly am trying to open my eyes...
Wow you are such a sweet spirit. I watched your video just now. And needed to see this that's for sure. Your words lifted me up. Thank you so much, I just found your channel, and I subscribed. I'm 68 and you made me look at skin care all over again. God bless you sweet lady♡♡
Hello Beautiful Sues 💜 My goodness, there are times I swear we are sisters from different mothers 😂 Iove that you shared your touching moment when you met that wonderful woman who happens to be blind. Unexpected moments ike that sure can and do impact us. I'm sure she will remember you and your kindness as well. In no longer use Retin A, harsh Vit C either and I never Derma roll. I won't put my skin at risk or risk getting an infection by puncturing my skin. The oil that my skin loves and i always use is the Larenim Mineral brand of Argan Oil. I order it online from Walmart. It's only around $15 and works beautifully with my other skincare products. Amazon has it too, but charges quite a bit more for it. I hope you've been able to talk to Bill and that he's doing well. I keep him in my prayers still along with you, Desi said and your precious family is 💕💕💕 I still haven't been able to replace my laptop yet, but hope to soon. I don't want to miss seeing you and the adorable, smiling Desi 😍 Have a very happy and blessed week my sweet friend. Hugssss 💜💜💜
Hi Sweetie 💜 If that argan oil works half as good for your skin as it does for mine, you'll love it !!!! I hope the bright sunny days we're having bring some happiness and joy to you while you're waiting to visit your family and Bill. Hugs 💜💜💜
You are so beautiful! Your story of the blind woman was touching and reminds me how blessed we are. Have a great week, Susan. I pray you are safe and happy.
That blouse and cardigan look beautiful on you! Thank you for your skincare tips; I follow you every week and use many of the products you have listed in this video. ❤️ I had to come back in and edit my comment after I finished watching this video. Yes, your clothes and skin are beautiful, but your beauty runs deep. Kindness is free and the kindness you showed that woman made my night. You are a kind woman in mind, body, and soul and that's why I continue to follow you each and every week. I just happen to be 65 too........❤️
Susan, I love watching you. Everything about your videos is so well done. I thought your information on skincare was great. I have allergies and everything scented is bothersome. So it's hard for me to find a moisturizer I like. I hate sticky or greasy stuff. I will check out some products you mentioned. I have to say, I think you are so beautiful. There is no way you need a face lift! And I know you said you wouldn't do it. But sometimes people say that to a women "Oh you don't need one" because the woman is fine. But you don't need one. Even if you didn't have to go under or it was free, you look great the way you are. Really! I would stay away from the derma roll too. I got a kick out of the part of your video in Target when you looked at the toilet paper and said "I'm gonna buy them all and then the sign says limited and the music goes into a frenzy mode! What a riot. Later you showed Desi whom I can never get enough of. You told us how sad you were and that is so normal. We are all feeling this way. When I heard your story about the legally blind women falling, I thought to myself "that was one of your Guardian Angels" sent to show you and help you see things that are good in life. Another wonderful video. Thank you so much. {Hugs}
Susan, praying you & Desi are going to be safe in Michigan after the dam break with all of the dangerous flooding. Love you, Mary in Tx. Prayers & Hugs
@@LittlePoet Susan, please keep us all posted what's going on there. I'm not sure what city your in, but I want you & Dez to be safe !!! It is so sad to see on the TV. Love you, Mary
This was an absolutely beautiful video. You have such a good eye for photography. Doesn’t hurt to have beautiful flowering trees in bloom. You look so much younger than your first picture. Also having blonde hair & good lighting helps also. Maybe some of us would do better to be gentler to our skin. I think God gives us messages all the time in different ways. He was speaking to you about not feeling sorry for yourself. That poor woman falling like that. I’m glad you were there to help her. I don’t think Desi can resist grilled cheese sandwiches! He’s so cute. Love you, Lucy
Susan, something similar happen to me with a beautiful young blind women a couple of weeks ago. She was standing in the middle of a large empty parking lot, holding onto her white blind walking stick. I thought maybe she got disoriented and was afraid to move. I pulled up and asked if she needed help. She smiled a beautiful smile and just said, “no I’m waiting for my meal to be delivered. But thank you so much for asking, so kind of you.” That made my day, something so simple and maybe it made her day too. Also, I have been blocking all the negative political stuff on FB, who needs that. Have a lovely weekend. Thank you Susan for continuing your videos. God bless, stay well❤️🙏
You gave some really great advice. My birthday is today. Im 62
Happy Birthday. 🎁🎉🎂
Make it a spa day all about you!
Fyrinspector1923 thank you! I wish I could! Not feeling well😩. I appreciate the wish! Have a great day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEANETTE!!!
LittlePoet awe thank you!!!
Happy Birthday. Prolly late ❤❤❤
I love this channel. I never miss an episode. I'm 23 years old.
I love her!!! I'm 24
You are a very special person. You touch hearts and that is a gift.....Period.
"Thank you for seeing me"
Beautiful...
Hi Susan, I found your channel when I was at the lowest point in my life about a year & 1/2 ago. Sadly, we've lived through similar experiences. Your beautiful videos, music & sharing of your life - good & bad have helped me so much, thank you. Your talks of skin care became my obsession over the last months, I'd hate to admit how many beauty products I've bought, but it boosted my spirits. We are similar in age, I worshiped the sun in my youth and then for the last 30+ years I have mindlessly & inconsistently slathered my skin with expensive creams, never really believing they did that much. When I saw how you transformed your skin with various life changes, it amazed me. I think the first product you mentioned that really notably changed your skin was a Loreal Serum, I was shocked that a drug store product could do that. I tried it and most of the other ones you've mentioned and I know my skin is amazingly better. I've always gotten compliments on my skin but now I see it myself and I owe it to you, I now enjoy & look forward to taking care of my skin every day with such amazing products that I BELIEVE in. You are a great educator and I thank you for sharing your experiences. We all need a pity party occasionally. All I can say is be glad you have someone to miss when you aren't able to be with them, I have no kids or grands, imagine the sadness that brings. I'm glad I have my little Shih Tzu, Mr. Osmond, he's an amazing companion. My love to you and Desi.
OH Gina....I am so glad you wrote me this....your words helped me so much today...it is such a joy to hear you not only like your new skin but you look forward to doing your routine. I think that is so key...when we believe in what we are doing...and it's not costing us a fortune...it is just so fun! I truly don't know how our skin could get any softer for brighter do you?!!! Thank you so much for being here....I am so glad you found me and Desi.
Gina Gray, I hope you are doing well. Reading your comment kind of made me sad. We do not have children or grands either. I am blessed to have my Husband, but I worry how I will feel when I am by myself. I am 63 yrs old. Blessings to you and your doggy. I too, love Susan a Desi and look so forward to her videos. She has such a beautiful spirit and her videos help me a lot on every level. Take Care, Hugs, Debra
Susan, when I watch your videos, I feel like I am sitting there right alongside you on your couch, just two good friends having a talk. That's how good you are at reaching out to your audience, like you are just talking to one of your good girlfriends, right there in your home. You are a truly sincere person. :)
Oh I just love your pink dress, your jewelry, your earrings, necklace so pretty Susan. Your hair and make up, you look so beautiful 🌸🌸🌸
Very beautiful and emotional video..Angel's are everywhere...including you!💫💞🐕💞💫
I think you outdid yourself on this video, Susan. It was so beautiful from start to finish, and I truly enjoyed it. Thank you❤
Beautiful, just beautiful, You carry me away each week. I loved the spring blooms and all the nature shots. I don’t leave comments very often, but I always look forward to your videos. And of course I look forward to seeing Desi.
The smallest thing made me so happy watching this and that is Desi looked at the camera. I have been feeling down for a few weeks and seeing you and Desi always lifts my spirit. Take care and give Desi a big hug from me.
We should be always grateful for what we have in life and have gratitude but usually we either forget or we think about what we don't have...your story about the blind woman was just so heartwarming Susan and brought me to tears. I got the feeling that it was a sign for you at that moment in time and now a reminder for me too...Thank you my friend
Susan, I've noticed the last two weeks that Desi is looking right at the camera once in awhile, more than he used to. He is so precious and I look forward to seeing you both every week. You really lift my spirits and make my day! Blessings, Gerene
Oh wow! Desi is chaninnging so much! I wonder if it's because I am on a stay-home order? It's amazing...he wants you all to see him!!!
@@LittlePoet I think it's from all the love you have shown him. He feels more secure than ever before.
I love your take on life! I'm soon to be 63, a widow and now alone again after having my mom live with me for 9 years who just pasted in March! With these crazy days, I too have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I also try to see the positive in life but some moments it can get lost! Thank you for understanding and showing me thru your lens that each day is a gift if we choose to "see" it!🌼🌻☀️
Hi Anna, I know what you are feeling, My mom is now in a nursing home. Some days I miss her, some days I resent her for the way she did and didn't treat me & my dad, some days I wish she would pass away, some days I'm afraid she'll pass away. It is a roller coaster of emotions. I just pray a lot and try to leave it all with the dear Lord. I agree, I try to find the gifts and give back every where I can.
@@ginagray603 I hope you can find peace! One thing is to find forgiveness! Don't let her last days pass without it! You'll free yourself. If I could get my last month back with my mom, I'd have done more! Grief can bring on regrets so don't live in the past. I wish I had held my mom at the end, just to have that last touch and love connection. Now I can't! 😢
God bless!
Anna White oh you are so right, i so regret that 5 minutes that I closed my eyes, if I could have the last 5 minutes back when my mom passed. Me and my sister were at my moms bedside sitting next to her holding her hands, they had given her 72 hrs at the most. We both had been up close to 24 hrs that 2nd day and I told my sister I was going to close my eyes for a 5 minute nap, I left her side, that’s when she passed, my sister said she had opened her eyes and smiled and said momma then she was gone. I’ll never forgive myself and it’s been 7 years next month that she’s been gone.
@@BlingyBea I'm sorry! It's hard but we have to let those regrets go! Our moms would be saying they are so happy now and please be happy too! I try to flip those negative thoughts to my mom and all our great memories! 💜
Susan, your videos just get better and better. I really enjoyed this one. You are so funny and your videos calm me and give me hope. You are so beautiful in that color and your face just glows. Today, I went out to Target and Kroger for the first time since the end of February. It was so surreal to see us all in masks and trying to keep our 6 ft distance from each other. I just wanted to cry...Then there were all the signs in the stores to limit what we can buy ...and all of the empty shelves...When I got home, I told my husband, I was never going out again...When I saw your video, it made my day. Maybe I’ll try again another day. Thank you, Janis
I started the snail essence about 3 weeks ago. You loved it so much and I just had to try it. Well, I just love it! I do notice a difference and I also put it on the tops of my hands.
I am 59 and will be 60 in September. I have lived in California my entire life and had to much sun! lol I try to avoid the sun as I had squamous cell carcinoma on my nose and ended up having 4 surgeries! I am a full time caregiver to a lovely 83 year old lady. She’s always tells how beautiful my face is. I tell her, beauty comes from within.
I just love your videos, Please never stop making them! I get so excited on Friday nights knowing I get to watch another new video. You are just precious and so is Desi. I definitely see the difference in your before pictures and how you look now. You are just so beautiful on the inside and out. Thank you again my friend for everything you do to enlighten us all❤️. Kelly from the central coast of California 😎
Hi Susan!!
I've noticed that for the last month or more after I've seen your video I'll think "that's her best yet"!!!! Your videos just get better and better and your talent as a photographer is amazing!
My Katie Rose and I are sending Desi snuggles!!
Hope you have a wonderful week-end my friend!!
Love you, Jodi
I agree...God sends us messages so we can keep things in perspective and to be grateful for what we have.
Thank you Susan, for another beautiful video. You're positivity and zen is contagious. And much needed these days. AND you are beautiful and talented to boot ❤️
Guess what? I'm not all that into skin care and makeup beyond the basics. I'm here for your story telling about life over 60.
A few years ago I went through a pretty traumatic life experience and it started showing in my appearance. I discovered TH-cam to pass the time and help with depression. I am so happy I found your channel! I started using Rosehip Oil after watching your videos. If I can look half as pretty as you when I am your age, I’m in!
You are beautiful now!!! To Rosehip Oil is just magic!!! I love just the smell of it to perk me up and feel peaceful!
Thanks for sharing your skincare favorites. I am 80 years old and have pretty decent skin. My question is do you layer all the night care products one on the other? Would you please demonstrate the process. Thanks again.
Susan, you are such a beautiful soul. I love the music and nature parts you add to your videos, they are so lovely. I find you so calming and your voice and tone are so soothing to listen too. You look great for 65 and I love all the informative you share about skincare. I absolutely love that oil diffuser too and I plan on purchasing one. Stay well and God bless!
Ive added your music to my Alexa!! Beautiful
I am so enjoying you Susan. Thanks For Seeing Me! So Beautiful ♥️
Always From Pittsburgh, PA.
I do love skincare, too. Aren't swans beautiful? I don't think I have ever seen one in person. Your skin is just beautiful. I think the best products are the ones that work for each of our complexions. I really do. There isn't a right way or a wrong way and I don't believe Retin A is for everyone either. I like it, but that doesn't mean it's right for my neighbor. You have discovered what your skin likes and it shows. It's just glowy and gorgeous and young. I really enjoyed this, Susan! Stay safe! Lots of love, Melissa
Hello Melissa!!! I was just thinking of your video, the fantasy vs. the reality of my skincare! Every night when I do my routine I always fantasize I will wake up looking 30 again!!! The reality is..well..not so much but I am happy. Your skin is so lovely!!! We are the same age...all I can say it, it isn't easy...NOTHING is easy anymore! Thank yous so much for being here...I love your awesome channel...!!! Love always from me and Desi!
Love your channel as well Melissa. You two ladies are so pretty with lovely skin. I was born in Nov/55. So I’m the same age. Many people have told me that they think I’m much younger. Makes my day!
Haha I did the same thing when I went to CVS to pickup my meds and on the way out I saw paper towels and toilet paper, I was going to buy a few pak till I saw the limit one package of each. I bought mine and went out to my car and immediately called my sister and niece to go to CVS, isn’t that crazy, never thought that would ever happen. That story about the Blind Lady brought tears, God is always with us when we need it the most, he always provides signs. Oh Wyatt, I want a hug. Desi your looking straight into the camera, you sweet precious boy.💖🙏🏻🐾
Wow that story has me in a puddle of tears.Isn't it sad that she had to say thank you for seeing me cause many probably wouldn't have.You have such a kind and beautiful soul and you also have some gorgeous skin.xoCathy
I love your earrings and your complete pink outfit looks great on you you are such a compassionate person I totally relate
I'm using Burts Bees Cleansing Oil. And I use Mary Kay Cream Foaming Cleanser. Then I use the Acure rosehip seed oil, the carrot seed oil you recommend and Azure Hemp Aloe oil. In the morning I use Neutrogena Facial Sunscreen SPF 70. Then Neutrogena tinted moisturizer. At night I use Mary Kay Nightcream.
I am over 35 yet I love watching you ❤️
Hi Sues! I want to thankyou for always having a wonderful message for us in your videos. And I love skincare. But let me tell you Sues. When I grow up, I wish I could look as pretty as you. I hope you know that I have a sense of humor. I'm only a few years younger than you. But I'm serious about you looking so pretty. There are certain times when you're out and about filming where I see my mom in your face. I showed you to my brother and saw it too. My mom had hazel eyes. We lost her when she was 63 years old. At the time I was 30 and thought she was old, but so pretty. Omg! I look at you, and how young you look and realized how young my mom was back then. We knew we lost her too young. But watching you, really made me see it.
I love alot of your skincare recommendations. I love them all. The pumpkin mask. The O Naturals Hemp Cream. Day and Night. The Azure Hemp and Aloe Serum. Love it! And I got the Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence and the
Advanced Snail 92 all in one cream. Oh, and I got the day and night creams from Italy. The Nutr-C. Among other recommendations from others. I should be a raving beauty with all these products! Hahaha! I have to confess that I was hesitant about trying the Snail stuff. And it's not the most appealing goup that I've ever tried, but it is moisturizing. Time will tell.
I know exactly how you feel about missing your kids. Me too. Face Time is nice, but nothing replaces a real hug. I get sad too. And then I think each day that passes , we get closer to the end of all of this. With the help of God. I so appreciate running right out the door and going and talking to people. Sometimes we have to miss things and people to appreciate. We sure are getting a lesson in that department.
Well, I've babbled on enough. Thankyou Sues for everything you do for us. I so appreciate you ladies out here. You're all the best. Have a good week and I'll see you next week. A great big hug to you and Desi!!! 🤗🌹❤😘
I am 45, and just loove your videos 🥰🥰 Thank You for what you do and how you do it! And I am now a very happy owner of a bottle of organic rosehip seed oil because of you.
Thank you for seeing us Susan and sharing your wisdom and love. Bless you
Your videos of springtime in Michigan are so beautiful! Here in Florida we do have spring flowering trees and flowers but they don't burst forth like they do after a long cold winter! You are such a blessing to me every Saturday morning - I look forward to your video all week. You and Desi are THE BEST! xoxo
That sure humbles you doesn’t it . I’m just like you it makes me so sad for the unfortunate . I had a hard time my family is in Maryland and Iowa and my mom passed away on Mother’s Day 2015 it’s always hard . The times are so different now and their are so many people that are having a hard time . Bless you and your family. Everyone stay safe 💕💐
I'm 26 and I always come back to your channel ever so often and binge watch your videos. I adore you! PS you look gorgeous, love your necklace ❤
Thank you so much..you are so sweet!
Love the peach color on you!!! Beautiful story about the woman you helped!!!
Love your frames, shootings, music, how you mix and blends with your tips! ❤️ unique
I just love you....you help me live.
LittlePoet love you 💗
I do look forward to your videos every week. First, I get my coffee then head to the balcony to get fresh air and see the blooming poinsettia trees. Deep orange color.
Your photography is magnificent and the swan was so graceful. Each day I pass one of our large hospitals 🏥 with a massive sign at the driveway entrance which says “HOPE”. It encourages me that things will get better but we must still safeguard ourselves. Also at this hospital is a large man made lake with lots of ducks. I decided to stop and feed them the other day. It was a sight. So many came around me and I was throwing bread 🍞 in all directions. I did learn it is better to shred the bread before leaving home. I did ask them if they knew you and Desi but they replied that it was too cold where you live so they are staying here in Florida.
Desi is feeling the binge eating pressure of being inside all day so a little extra food is on his mind. Love his adorable face. Tell him to check his email for his recipe.
Stay safe
😎❤️💄Kathy
Absolutely wonderful video. I have learned so much from you! Thank you Susan, you make me smile 😊
Watch all of your videos and only comment occasionally, but plan to change that. You are such an inspiration....I just get so much pleasure out of watching you. I always wish I lived near you so I could ask you to come over and read me a bedtime story or sing me a lullaby! And I could just eat Desi up! Thanks for sharing all your great skin care tips...There sure working for you girl! You look beautiful! I'm holding at 70 now and starting to feel it. All the best!
I have just started watching your channel. I have a lot to learn about skincare. I have neglected it terribly because of money and depression. I'm very excited to learn that there are drugstore products that I can use and afford. My problem is that I don't know what order to use them all in. I need help with that but don't know where to look for it.
Hi sweetie. Hemp has gotten so popular. I have some hemp seed oil and I like it too. I love skin care. I prefer skin care over makeup. I do love enjoying new products. It is like an exploration to find something new. I don't mind at all when companies send me products or sponsor me to try products, I like that because I would probably buy them so to get them for free or share them with viewers for a small fee is not a problem at all. You need to be very careful with dermarolling. One of the most important things for skin health is water! We need to be sure to drink lots of water. YOur before and after pictures are amazing. That diffuser is so you! lovely. We are all grateful to be seen.
I have been using rosehip seed oil ever since you started talking about it. At 58, I'm staring down the barrel at 60. I think I'm going to be a great-looking 60!
Desi, like everyone who is social distancing and staying home, is eating more food because he is bored. Animals are sensitive to change. No matter what, he is absolutely adorable. Girl, I'm a skincare junkie, but I will not spend obscene prices for it. I'm fortunate that RetinA doesn't cause my skin to be dry and flaky. Any vitamin A derivative will work wonders on your skin. The key is consistently. Susan, you got me using carrot seed oil, and I've recently started using kiwi seed oil. It soaks in quickly and makes my skin glow. Thank you for another beautiful video. You really have an excellent eye for filming. You and Desi stay safe.
Hi beauty!! I loooove facial oils too and have the same snail 🐌serum you have too... Serums and oils are the best! I love your passion and sincerity!! Your coffee ☕️scrub looks delicious! Love you and Mr Dez! xoxoxoxoxoxoxox Carol P.S. Very touching ending!! And your grandson looks just like you.💋
What a wonderful story of the beautiful lady who is blind....Thank you for seeing me...really brought tears to my eyes. What we take for granted everyday and feel sorry for ourselves, it takes something like this to look at ourselves and be thankful. Susan thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us.
Susan...grace, elegance, and sincerity is ageless, though I feel as women age, they garner more wisdom and grace. Women relate to other women no matter how young or old. Your channel is timeless , and my weekly joy! Thank you for always keeping it gently real. 💕
Thank you Susan💕you’re so lovely inside and out! I am 66 and have been using the same skincare routine since I was in high School, The school’s gift to our graduating class for the girls was a representative from seventeen magazine sharing skincare ideas that I still use, steaming my face once a week then a mask of egg white organic honey and lemon juice! It’s worked great until recently so maybe I’ll try some of your suggestions too!!! Thank you Susan!! Have a wonderful week! Hi Desi✌️
Bought Palmer's oil yesterday, used it once and I love it. I'm 63, have been taking care of my skin since my 30's but not as religustly as the last 5 years. I started to do research, loving wearing makeup and really taking care of my skin... Continue your good work!
OH Josee..it is so good...after 60...for me, it is a must have!!!!
Love your encouraging words & i think you are a lovely lady & love Desi!.
Susan your beautiful inside and out . You look so pretty in pink that’s your color .Give Desi a big hug for me . God Bless you and Des take care stay safe. Love you so much 💐
Your videos are just so beautiful Susan. I got emotional at the end because I too felt very sad because my daughter did not call or even text me on Mother’s Day. She is serving in the military in another state. But then I realized Happiness is a choice. I thought about of how proud I am of my daughter and the sacrifices she is making to serve. The day got brighter and I was no longer sad. ❤️ Thank you for making videos... I enjoy them so much.😘
Oh I know how you feel...when we feel our child doesn't show us love or affection that pain goes so deep. I find when I feel that way it's wehn I am alrady feeling low. Your daughter must be under so much stress but I bet she loves her Mother so very much....I am so glad you are here Sheir!!!
Greetings Susan! I just love you and I look forward to hearing from you every week! You look especially beautiful tonight. What a touching story about the lady on your walk, and don't we all need to be seen... Blessings 🙏
Susan thank you si much for sharing yr emotions with us. You are so real and so kind. I am embarking on a new life after being with my husband for 34 years.the future is so uncertain but I am surrounded by beautiful friends.
Hello Susan! First of all, soft pink looks absolutely GREAT on you! What you told about the blind woman brought tears to my eyes and yes, we have to be grateful for what we have. Love to you and the Dez and see you next week.
This is the first time I have visited your channel . You are a beautiful person inside and out. I can't wait to watch more.
Hello Susan. I’m so glad I found you. I’m 61 years this year. You have totally inspired me. I can’t get enough of your videos. You are a true inspiration. Keep up the good work beautiful lady. 😍
oh Susan, I loved your video tonight ! You really make me feel special getting to see you, Desi, and your beautiful filming. Love all the skincare suggestions too Have a beautiful weekend. Lots of love and happiness sweetheart !!! Thanks for all you do, Mary Ann in Tx.
What an incredibly beautiful intro...your content, editing, lighting and music are gorgeous... Your voice is so full of love for life and this is a true gift for us...Thank you, thank you for this vlog... Thank you for being in my day...!!❤️✌🏼✨
I wrote down some of your skin products....love makeup and learning about products that I can afford on my budget to give a try. You are so beautiful....a breath of fresh air! Happy from Tennessee, mom and grandmother.... hopes to see you soon on your awesome channel 💕
☕️, what your doing is working ! Honestly , it’s your inner beauty that lighting us all up,🙏 thank you,
Good morning Susie!! Enjoyed seeing the beautiful nature! Yes, you helped the blind woman, but she helped you more! You are aging in reverse!! I wish I loved skincare as much as you. But, I do it anyway. Our approach to skincare is different, but we both get good results. Mother's day was a tough day for me too. I had a not so gentle reminder last week to remind me how lucky I am Blessings, and love to you, and The Dez..Mimi
OH Mimi...I agree with you 100%....we all are different and one size does not fit all. I don't react well to skincare and cosmetic companies...I have learned to trust very few. I don't mind do sponsored videos for household items I think my sweet subs might like, but when it comes to their health, argh....I take it so hard if I feel I fail at that. Your results fromyour skincare routine and just beautiful and I think someday I will see you in person and film you! Oh I would so love that to be able to film you and Jim...and maybe get a song or two. Have a safe weekend! xxoo Love to you from me and Desi always!
Susan, it's okay to be sad that you can't see your family right now. That doesn't make you ungrateful. That makes you human.
Your skin is so luminous!! I LOVE lips scrubs, I'll have to try the coffee scrub. My lips are deflating, lol. I just ordered some City Lips glosses and they offered a discount on the masks when I checked out but I declined...I wish I tried them now.
Hi Lisa!!! Great to see you!! I meant to say Coffee masks....I do love them so! Your skin si so pretty, I bet you would enjoy them too! Happy Tuesday!!! xxoo Sues & Desi
Your artist quality is so beautiful, particularly that shot with the water spraying over the bottle of oil in the beginning. I would never think to do that, but for you it's instinct. I wish I could go to TJ Maxx where I used to see the cleanser's and creams you showcased. I'm a little tired of shopping online. Desi knows you love him so much and won't be bad about his food indiscretion. :))
Your makeup and your persona is gorgeous today. Perfect color palette for you💗
Hi Susan, actually I watch your videos because I just love your videography and enjoy your content regardless of what the topic is! The skincare information is great too. Have a blessed weekend and take care! ☺️❤️🙏🏽☀️💐
What a delight you are❤️
Thank you for being you. I so enjoy your channel. You are so smart beautiful and comforting.
You are stunning now. I'm a firm believer in my oils. I can't live without them.
Ahhh, ice cream sounds Devine, and what a great woman you are, with a big heart, and those gifts others give and teach us are what connects us.
Sending much peace and love to you and Desi 💜 and all out there. Desi's face 💜 just no words 💜
what a blessing how you share your world with your channel... you are beautiful inside and outside.... God bless you
I always look forward to watching your videos, such a refreshing woman. I wanted to say keep doing what your doing stay uplifted, you are one of my favorite TH-cam persons.
Just another Saturday morning !!!! Love all the scenery, it is a beautiful place !! Thanks for calming my nerves and making me smile again as usual. It does remind me to be grateful for all I do have. Love you, Simone
Thank you Susan for your beautiful honesty and sharing your gift. The woman's response to you, "Thank you for seeing me." Isn't that what we all want? To be seen, appreciated, and valued. You saw her fall and she saw your heart. Beautiful! I too believe these are signs from above to open our eyes to our own blessings. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to watching your videos on Saturdays. You have such a gift of sharing your heart in a way where so many like myself can relate no matter our age. I'm 55 and started my skincare journey a year ago. Your before and after photos prove that it's never too late. My favorite reward for caring for my skin is not needing to go back to my photos to retouch what I considered my imperfections. I was such a cheater when it came to touching up my photos. My goal was to love the skin I'm in and now I truly do.
I love your channel, I always find true beauty in everything I learn here especially the blessings we all have! Love you Susan and Desi
I'm 52 and never miss your videos either. A couple of mornings I had my days mixed up and thought it was Saturday when actually it was Friday. I'd get worried why you didn't have a video out. You soothe my soul for the time I'm with you.
Kim
You touch my heart Kim...you do the same for me...just reading your kind words gives me strength...xxoo Susan
Your skin looks amazing, you are a beautiful lady inside and out. Thank you for sharing. I am so happy that I stumbled onto your channel.
Thank you for simple reminders to cherish what we have now. I love your channel. You bless me with your wonderful spirit, sense of humor and insightful tips. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas. You look lovely in those colors you are wearing in this video.
Thank you for always making all of us see.
I'm taking notes on skincare. My skin is on the dry side, so I'll try the oils. Thank you so much for sharing your routines. You have such an artistic way with presenting your videos. So calming. So beautiful. ❤❤❤
You helped me up tonight too! Many thanks your soul is glorious ✨

I’m 47, but I love your channel and I think the stuff you talk about is relevant to all women....... you’re so knowledgeable and I’ll always watch !!!! Hope you’re staying well .... hugs to Dezi
hello. I am originally from Grand Rapids, born and grew up there.
I was born with very sensitive skin, a little on the oily side, probably inherited from my father's Swedish side.
As I have gotten older, mid fifties (am I really that old? huh) one constant practice I have developed when my face gets sensitive (and city water, and other irritants can always do this).
I get out the quick oats. Yep. That canister of Quaker.
You can take the dry oats as they are or process into a powder.
Make up about 1-2 cups and keep separate in a plastic container.
When you want to use it on your face, this is what you do. Move your hair back from your face, you want to avoid getting it in your hair. It isn't harmful, it just doesn't work in your hair. :-)
Take about 2 tbls in a small dish, add the same amount of hot tap water and blend til it becomes a paste.
You can add vanilla or essential oil to have it gently fragranced, or leave as is.
While it is still warm, spread on your face and leave it for about 2-3 minutes.
Then just rinse it off. You can do this before you jump in the shower and let the shower rinse it off. Let your face dry.
You will be amazed at the feeling. It has a sort of soft powder and there are oils in oatmeal that generate when heated. It neutralizes sensitive skin and makes it happy.
I also don't use soap on my face, I just rinse it or use Noxzema for a deep clean. I also don't use regular lotion on my face. Ah, yes.
Get some EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) 1/2 Cup in a microwave safe bowl.
Add a teaspoon of Rosemary, Basil, Lavender, or a combination of gentle herbs.
Heat it for about 2 minutes, then let set to cool down. The herbs wake up when heated.
Then strain it thru a small sieve. And store it in a bottle.
I use about a teaspoon full on my face daily. I just pour it in my hand, rub it over both palms and wipe on my face.
Let set a minute, then gently tissue off any excess.
A natural herbal aromatic oil, soothing on my face. It works.
And one of the most important ways of improving your skin, includes good nutrition.
That tricky thing.
I have been very curious about Green Smoothies. I like smoothies. I have developed a Green Smoothie Shake I try to have at least 5 days a week. Reese Witherspoon creates her own and I watched her video on that. That got me thinking. So I created my own Breakfast Green Smoothie Shake. I fill the tallest Ninja Glass 1/2 way with ice, Add a handful of fresh spinach. Then 2 big tbls of Greek Yogurt (Fage` is the best and real Greek Yogurt), add a bit of frozen fresh mango, some Stevia, And then fill it about 3/4 way up with a juice, right now I like Pineapple Juice. Then I blend it smooth. It is so good and full of protein, greens, yogurt, etc. It also helps your skin get nutrients thru your body. Ah. yes. It takes some discipline to do it. But it is good and not a heavy breakfast. Just my idea.
Hi Susan. What a dear, sweet soul you are. It was a difficult Mother's Day, wasn't it? My oldest son has recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and on Mother's Day he was in tremendous pain from it. My younger son has very bad anxiety which reared its head in concern for his brother. It puts things in perspective. This year the only thing I wanted for Mother's Day was for my sons to be well. The oldest is now in the hospital waiting for surgery (today is his birthday and I can't visit due to pandemic restrictions), and the younger is still struggling with anxiety. Like the blessing you felt from helping the blind lady, I feel blessed by family and friends sending loving and supportive messages every day.
As for skincare, I started using Pixi skincare (available at Target or online) about 18 months ago and have seen a big improvement in my 60 year old skin. They have a wide range of products that address lots of skin concerns.
Take care, Susan. Thank you so much for your lovely videos. Sending love to you and Desi.
There is so much we miss seeing! That woman was meant to be there at that time for you as we all need reminders every now and then. Loved the outfit changes and those pink earrings. Awesome message Susan, hugs to you and Desi.
I was just thinking that you and I have the same skin tone and texture ( your skin is smoother than mine) and how GREAT you would look in peach with peach earrings! I love it that we love the same makeup and we don't really have any undertones!!! I love it...so European of us!!! You have a new vide I have not seen so I am going over to your channel! Love to you and Jay from me and Desi and I am saying a prayer for your Dad and tired Mama...oh how they all suffer now. " Thank you for seeing me" ...I truly am trying to open my eyes...
Wow you are such a sweet spirit. I watched your video just now. And needed to see this that's for sure. Your words lifted me up. Thank you so much, I just found your channel, and I subscribed. I'm 68 and you made me look at skin care all over again. God bless you sweet lady♡♡
Thank you so much Diana!!!!! You are so kind!!! I am so gald you found me and Desi!!!
Hello Beautiful Sues 💜 My goodness, there are times I swear we are sisters from different mothers 😂 Iove that you shared your touching moment when you met that wonderful woman who happens to be blind. Unexpected moments ike that sure can and do impact us. I'm sure she will remember you and your kindness as well.
In no longer use Retin A, harsh Vit C either and I never Derma roll. I won't put my skin at risk or risk getting an infection by puncturing my skin.
The oil that my skin loves and i always use is the Larenim Mineral brand of Argan Oil. I order it online from Walmart. It's only around $15 and works beautifully with my other skincare products. Amazon has it too, but charges quite a bit more for it.
I hope you've been able to talk to Bill and that he's doing well. I keep him in my prayers still along with you, Desi said and your precious family is 💕💕💕
I still haven't been able to replace my laptop yet, but hope to soon. I don't want to miss seeing you and the adorable, smiling Desi 😍 Have a very happy and blessed week my sweet friend. Hugssss 💜💜💜
Hi Kathie...I am so happy to see you! You know I have to torder your Argan oil and give it a spin!!! I am hoping you get your laptop ASAP!!!
Hi Sweetie 💜 If that argan oil works half as good for your skin as it does for mine, you'll love it !!!! I hope the bright sunny days we're having bring some happiness and joy to you while you're waiting to visit your family and Bill. Hugs 💜💜💜
You are so beautiful! Your story of the blind woman was touching and reminds me how blessed we are. Have a great week, Susan. I pray you are safe and happy.
Thank you so much! I love your name Chirp!!!
I even bought the Bonsi tree with the lights like the one that you have. I have it on a table in my foyer and it looks awesome!!!
Oh Brenda..you are such a sweet friend...I love that tree...I remember I got that after Cooper passed....
Thank you so much for sharing all this with us, the good, the kindness, the vulnerability...love you , take care ...see you in a week 💕from 🇮🇸 🌷🌾🌷
That blouse and cardigan look beautiful on you! Thank you for your skincare tips; I follow you every week and use many of the products you have listed in this video. ❤️ I had to come back in and edit my comment after I finished watching this video. Yes, your clothes and skin are beautiful, but your beauty runs deep. Kindness is free and the kindness you showed that woman made my night. You are a kind woman in mind, body, and soul and that's why I continue to follow you each and every week. I just happen to be 65 too........❤️
I agree with you about the Clarisonic. As a retired RN, I always worried that it would cause facial micro-abrasions. Jeanne
Susan, I love watching you. Everything about your videos is so well done. I thought your information on skincare was great. I have allergies and everything scented is bothersome. So it's hard for me to find a moisturizer I like. I hate sticky or greasy stuff. I will check out some products you mentioned. I have to say, I think you are so beautiful. There is no way you need a face lift! And I know you said you wouldn't do it. But sometimes people say that to a women "Oh you don't need one" because the woman is fine. But you don't need one. Even if you didn't have to go under or it was free, you look great the way you are. Really! I would stay away from the derma roll too. I got a kick out of the part of your video in Target when you looked at the toilet paper and said "I'm gonna buy them all and then the sign says limited and the music goes into a frenzy mode! What a riot. Later you showed Desi whom I can never get enough of. You told us how sad you were and that is so normal. We are all feeling this way. When I heard your story about the legally blind women falling, I thought to myself "that was one of your Guardian Angels" sent to show you and help you see things that are good in life. Another wonderful video. Thank you so much. {Hugs}
Another awesome video. You made me cry. Thank you!
I just adore you Nancy!
Susan, praying you & Desi are going to be safe in Michigan after the dam break with all of the dangerous flooding. Love you, Mary in Tx. Prayers & Hugs
Thank you Mary!!!! We had a few dams break! Desi and I can both swim....we will keep you posted! Our love to you!
@@LittlePoet Susan, please keep us all posted what's going on there. I'm not sure what city your in, but I want you & Dez to be safe !!! It is so sad to see on the TV. Love you, Mary
This was an absolutely beautiful video. You have such a good eye for photography. Doesn’t hurt to have beautiful flowering trees in bloom. You look so much younger than your first picture. Also having blonde hair & good lighting helps also. Maybe some of us would do better to be gentler to our skin. I think God gives us messages all the time in different ways. He was speaking to you about not feeling sorry for yourself. That poor woman falling like that. I’m glad you were there to help her. I don’t think Desi can resist grilled cheese sandwiches! He’s so cute. Love you, Lucy
Susan, something similar happen to me with a beautiful young blind women a couple of weeks ago. She was standing in the middle of a large empty parking lot, holding onto her white blind walking stick. I thought maybe she got disoriented and was afraid to move. I pulled up and asked if she needed help. She smiled a beautiful smile and just said, “no I’m waiting for my meal to be delivered. But thank you so much for asking, so kind of you.” That made my day, something so simple and maybe it made her day too. Also, I have been blocking all the negative political stuff on FB, who needs that. Have a lovely weekend. Thank you Susan for continuing your videos. God bless, stay well❤️🙏
