Part 2: I now work from home due to the pandemic; and will be indefinitely. I miss my co-workers, friends and even my commute. I miss getting dressed up and wearing makeup. At the same time, I am grateful to have a job, good health, a beautiful home and money in the bank. My problem is that right now I don't desire anything. I am 60 years old and think that God wanted me to slow down a bit. I am planning a trip to Paris in the Fall, which I do every year. I donated most of my clothes, as well. I held the secret to happiness is gratitude. Sending all of you a hug.
I'm just the opposite, after almost 40 years of going to an office I am now permanently working from home. I feel like a catepillar that's turned into a butterfly. My office is in my sunroom. I have my own kitchen and bathroom. I Zoom all day with coworkers so I don't miss them. I still shower, put on makeup, and fix my hair. I wake up happy knowing I don't have a commute. My dream is going to France. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't fly.
@@annanorth4584 it s horrible now in Europe, trust me...i live in the Netherlands so France is Just a drive for us...but horrible whats happening now...you Don t see it on the news...but all those massive protests...yikesss, scary times nowadays
@@ellakaddouri9863 Oh Ella, that is so disheartening. I subscribe to a TH-cam channel that features walking tours of cities and towns in Europe. I indoor walked yesterday ( too hot outside) while viewing beautiful and historic Rotterdam. We can't trust the media either. The US is a gorgeous country of mostly peaceful, patriotic, and loving people but that is not how our beloved country is being portrayed in the news. I love your name. I have a sweet cousin named Ella. Peace and light to you.
@@annanorth4584 thank you, oh i love Hot weather...here we have wind blowing, Rain, cold, and sweaters on😂😂 how amazing how different the world is. I wish you also peace, and lots of love your way🥰🥰
Love the statement where you are happy to buy 4 tires. There was a time when you could only buy two., so real. Appreciate that statement. Good for you changing your thinking. It's so important. ❤️
I know exactly what you're saying. I was also a makeup junkie. I hit 55 and seriously I cleaned everything out. Now I have 2 foundations, 1 powder, three blushes ,two eyeshadow palettes and four lipsticks, one mascara two eyeliners and one brow pencil you know what? I have never felt or looked better.
I moved this past month and a month or so prior I did a huge purge of makeup/skincare and kept only my favorites. It has been so freeing - like a heavy weight lifted off my shoulders...I can hear angels singing LOL. Happiness is a state of mind. I equate happiness with contentment. When we can "tweek" what we sense is off within us we win. I am always happy. It's not being "bubbly" all the time...it's just about being content with myself most of the time. Great video Lisa...xo patti 🌷🍃
I couldn’t love watching you anymore… such a wonderful, positive message that so many people NEED to hear. A grateful heart is a beautiful heart Lisa! Thank you! ❤️❤️
Lisa, I am a happy person too. Yes, there were bad moments. I always looked toward to the future. There's that quote: If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
We all have bad days and struggles. It’s how we choose to handle those things that make all the difference. My 28 year old son is going through health problems and it’s really made me have to work harder to choose happy. Life sometimes hits us with things that make it very difficult, no matter how hard one tries. Happiness is definitely an inside job. Thanks Lisa❤️
I think happiness is not necessarily based on ‘happenings’ but from a deep sense of contentment and appreciation of the good things in our lives. If you focus entirely on certain events to make you happy it can be very disappointing. Like my nana used to say, think of nice things , positive things even in the harder times 🙏
I think you’ve tried enough makeup over the years and that experience is what we appreciate. You don’t need to own all of that makeup, but it is nice to hear you compare new products to ones you’ve tried in the past helps us decide if we might like it too.
My energy is like yours! The other day my husband and I went through a drive through and a girl I’ve talked to before, that takes my order, told my husband…that’s my girl that’s always smiling! Made my day and my husbands too! I’m truly blessed in my life, and I totally agree that it’s all mindset! You choose to be happy! Love you Lisa! You are my favorite YT gal, and always will be!
You choose not to be a "victim" which too many find it easy do these days! Your and your husbands hard work are why you have the life you have. You have a great attitude, never change. Love these videos! 😊❤
I've been thinking that the past year shifted our daily lives up, and if you've Landed on you're feet or still up in the air it's given gifts that look a lot like how you're feeling! I believe that positive breeds positive and if we allow one another to help each other we can feel happy everyday...blessings Lisa, I look forward to you everyday.xxxooo!
Lisa, I'm doing the same thing with my skincare and makeup. Sometimes, enough is enough. It's fun to try new things but the guilt that comes with it while there is so much in the drawers! I agree with you wholeheartedly!
HI Lisa, You are so right about having just few products that you love and know they truly make you happy. When I worked s in for Sephora, I felt like I need the newest, greatest product and since I felt I have my favorite in my vanity yes I do have backups but they are truly products I love. I have been subscribed to you since the begging and I can tell you are genuine and honest XO
Great video Lisa. I love how you want to help all of us. Your house is amazing. I'm blessed myself to be happy. I've been married to the love of my life since I was 19 . I m 57 now and we meant when we were 11 years old. I thank God for him and our 3 grown children and 3 beautiful grandsons. I love the videovwhen you said don't let your self go. I'm one of those woman who does my makeup everyday. Whither I'm going out or not. I want to look precetoble for me and my husband. We feel better when we look better. Thanks for all your hard work making great videos for us to enjoy
I did a big purge years ago & it feels great. I’ve been down to two makeup bags for so long & so happy with it. I remember when Pink so foxy did her declutter - it was so inspiring! Thanks for sharing! Xx
Thanks for this video lisa. I'm feeling quite depressed and lost at the moment and your sweet spirit took my mind off how I am feeling for a little while. So glad you are loving your new space xxx
Lisa I had a little chuckle to myself, you just told us how your getting rid of all your excess make up and you go out and buy 6 lip glosses. Why don’t you just buy one to see if you like them. I’m afraid I’m like that with blushes I can’t help it.
lol- true :) But I love that Lisa buys all the things and stuff- so I don't have to waste my time, space and money, and can just occasionally buy something that is cream of the crop.
Oh yes, I am in need of doing the whole makeup thing and I would love to see how you organize in your drawers. Also I need to do clothes overhaul. Moving in to a beautiful new home is a great motivation! I just love your outlook, its so refreshing. Yes getting older brings more gratitude and appreciation for even the little things🥰
Your attitude here is EVERYTHING! You did a great job of explaining a tricky thing..... perfection isn't the standard. Being grateful is the standard. We've ALL had difficult experiences and tragedies, but moving on is critical. 💗 You're a light here on YT, Lisa. Thank you! 🥰
I see so much change in you that the weight loss and feeling better seems to have inspired! All material possessions and the desire for more, more, more has been the main learning point of my life. Nothing makes me happier than sitting reading, looking at my flowers and playing with my cat! Obviously time with friends and family are most important, but no “thing” will ever make me happy. It’s an inside job as the saying goes xxx
Saw decorative canvas at Marshall’s that went something like this: Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important. Capture the good times. 📸❤️ Enjoy your new home, new beginnings Lisa! ☀️ So happy for you 🥰
Sounds like we are similar - hard on ourselves. But as I get older, I realize growth/change can be a bit uncomfortable until you have stretched yourself to that new place. If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. Cheers to realizing what makes you happy now…less makeup 💕
I completely hear you on the happiness topic. By nature, I am a happy person. Every day I wake up and desire to be happy and be the good part of someone’s day. That doesn’t mean I’m fake or always “happy”- but I gravitate towards joy and thankfulness. Life is tough, and sometimes really tough. I just won’t let the hard times define me or steal my joy. ❤️❤️❤️ Keep being you, Lisa. We need more happiness and positivity in this world.
I need to go through my makeup too. My problem is thinking about the money that I wasted after wearing something a few times which then makes me hold on to it! It's a viscous cycle and isn't that how hoarding starts? Oh boy.
Yep! And good job for recognizing it. That money is spent, whether you dispose of or use the product. I have to remind myself that keeping it doesn't un-spend the money! Cut your losses and save drawer space.
Thank you for sharing yourself, your journey and your heart. The world needs more honest, responsible, positive focused people like you. Keep up the good work Lisa, you are appreciated and loved xoxo
I have not been able to watch your videos the last few years and I started watching last night and have been watching the older ones where you started your change of diet and having a house built ...I have absolutely been loving the new you..Your talks have been so inspiring for me .. Thank you for being so Honest LOVE Debbie
And yes, self honesty. I remember the day I thought "Maybe you are the problem", and it was like a big slap in the face, but it was true and once I acknowledged that, it was a huge turning point in my mindset, for the better.
I just did a massive purge of not just make up but of my whole house. I know you did your house stuff too. Don't you just feel its just easier to breathe in your home. I was amazed how much the clutter in my home also made my mind cluttered. It took me into my 50s to figure this out LOL I completely understand where you are at in life. I also think you are so happy in your daily life even through the bumps because you have Jesus (holy spirit) in your heart. Big hugs❤
I go through my closet and bathroom every couple of months. I am a Virgo too, Lisa, so I totally get you!! I have really scaled down my wardrobe, although I still have waaayyyy too much. It feels so freeing to purge everything from clothes to kitchen stuff. Nobody needs all that crap and once its out of the house I feel SO GOOD! My mom always said that just because you can afford something, does not mean you should buy it. And if you can't afford it then you most certainly shouldn't buy it!
You have the right attitude Lisa. Do what's best for you and your family. Feeling good and looking good are so empowering but knowing who you are and where you came from and being grateful for all that you have is the best medicine.
Lisa you are such a breath of positive fresh air! I hope this spreads like a trend of happiness with other youtubers. I do see the negative stuff on occasion on youtube with a lot of younger woman mostly, and it does draw views but also fires up bad energy; terrible. With regard to clutter and too much stuff, omg, I am trying so hard to not get more stuff and love what I have but I also feel I have too much. For years and years my makeup fit in one cosmetic case and a small (I do mean small) basket. Thanks to watching youtubers, I now I have a caboodle, and a stuffed shelf in a small cabinet. I am trying to declutter and I find it so hard! Then there is the closet..... Thank you!
Thank you, Lisa, for your genuine, sweet, encouraging, loving spirit! I think you are very clear in communicating that with us. We are lucky to be in this journey with you! 💗
🧡💜❤️ Listening to you talking and reading the comments here about excess makeup purchases I realise I’m not alone. I’ve put a halt on impulse buying. Thanks Lisa. ❤️💜🧡
Hey Lisa!! Enjoyed your video, you are always the pep talk I need!!!! Whenever I do a major clean out of whatever I always ask myself “ Does This Bring Me Joy???” And if it no longer brings me joy or a purpose to my life it has to go, I think that’s a good rule to go by when getting rid of “ things”. Get what brings you joy , I don’t think anyone should expect you to buy/have 10 foundations. I love the feeling of minimizing and decluttering, it really affects your mental health and state of mind!!!
I'm glad you are talking about this. People need help right now. You have always seemed like a positive, nice person. "Happy" is kind of a myth. I'll take peace, calm & gratefulness any day.
Just last month I purged my skin care and makeup. I have 2 daughters and a daughter-in-law that I pass things onto. My closet and dressers are next. It feels so good to rid myself of all this clutter I’m no longer using. Keep up with your purging and enjoy your new home 🥰
Recently I did a makeup purge as well. Kind of funny because the first things to go were the urban Decay Naked pallets - sick of them. I fell into that "gotta have each one" until I realized what a waste that was. Funny there are times when I wake up and feel so happy - not the cheesy kind of happy - but something a bit deeper and hard to explain. Even though I am going through a bunch of medical issues, I still feel that some days, not every day mind you, but most. I was talking to my surgeon about my medical issues and he told me as he has been practicing medicine more and getting older has taught him about patience. He then told me about another of his patient and his journey getting through whatever was his issue. That conversation taught me a couple of things - to have more patience with myself and my poor body that has been going through some tough things and healing is not going to happen all at once. The other thing it taught me is that there is always someone else out there that has a problem more serious than yours. He got me through the rest of my day. Love my doctor. He is awesome. As for you Ms. Lisa, I have a book, and my pens ready to start writing, start looking for the good things each day, and being grateful for the things I have. Looking forward to the journey. Connie
And once again you spoke to my soul, Lisa! 😂 we can feel how you’ve “culled” (so to speak) and figured out a lot of the best of the best in the categories in your life? And made a decided effort to curate the best your life can be in all the aspects….Family life, Home, spiritual, health, makeup, clothes, self improvement/enlightenment etc… we feel you’re radiating the constant evolution, and it’s so contagious even via video 🥰 Idk if that made any sense? Lol
I love minimalism and keeping the open space look for me personally…it’s easy to get caught up with new trends especially the packaging..marketers are sooo smart🤔
Loved this video, Sometimes I can be negative or just have a bad attitude at times so it was really nice to listen to you talk about being happy and looking at the positive things in life, I really loved and enjoyed listening to your advice, it really helped me :) Thank you!
Hi Lisa , I am a cosmologist for 49 yrs specializing in skin care and make up . Trying to keep up with the new products all these years was impossible . My collection is only my favorites and if a client wants a Name brand or some thing that they like I tell them at consultation it’s an add on and buy it for them include it on my final bill or and bring it yourself and bring it home I will show you how to use it I’m so proud of you girl and I love you
A grateful heart is a happy heart. I love to see people happy and I don’t understand why people want to watch a video of someone complaining or unhappy🤷♀️. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us! And good for you on returning the unused lip gloss that didn’t work out for you!!
Lisa….this is exactly why I watch you all the time…your happiness, your drive….Ilove to see you thriving and living your best life. You are an inspiration and you make me forget about my own problems….never change be yourself 😙
Lisa- you will probably never see this comment, but if you do, I wanted you to know this. We lost my husband's father very suddenly last Sunday. We have been dealing with that all week and the grief is tremendous. I came home yesterday and sat down to rest. I felt like watching something so I turned on TH-cam and thought-I'll see what Lisa posted this week and watch her. She will cheer me up. I watched this video above and you did just that. Thank you. You're a lovely and special person.
I own one foundation, one mascara, one blush ect. I don’t even own any eyeshadow anymore actually. I also have a very minimal wardrobe. I would like to create a capsule wardrobe here soon.
Excited for your journey and you sharing with us! I do feel the older we get we FINALLY get it! I lost my Mom 2 years ago and I retired last year and now I wish I’d done it earlier to spend more time with her! My Dad is almost 91 and I love spending this time with him! My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s this year and now everyday I wake up knowing how blessed I am that I am here to spend quality time with those I love! The stuff needs to go because we all know that is not what makes us happy! Negative thoughts or people I can’t handle! Life happens and can change in minutes! Looking forward to the next video!
love and appreciate ! Thank you so much for this vibe . I feel strong mental support after watching this video! Love your channel! I wish you to be strong and to have a power for all what you would like to achieve !
I love this so much Lisa! You are so encouraging and helpful for so many people. I love it and I appreciate you so much! ❤️ your happiness is contagious
I totally agree Lisa! I have been going through a declutter also, even with clothes & I agree it's such a good feeling to bring items to the Goodwill (I always say a little prayer before it's dropped off that it goes to someone who really needs it, not someone who wants to make money off of it) Xx Karen😘❤️
I, too am going through the same frustration and I can trace it back to being overwhelmed with too much stuff in my happy, Family filled dream home. I asked my grown sons and husband to help me clean out our garage for my birthday. And I hauled out all the stuff and reorganized our pantry. These proactive purges have brought such happiness and calm to my life. Good luck to you friend, it is good that you stay positive and encourage others to as well. 💕
I am happy EVERY DAY! Lesson I learned a while ago: anything to excess is usually not healthy. Wisdom really does come with aging and being awake to who you are! Always sending you love!
Lisa...I'm enjoying your videos more now than ever. You are being so real and open and I'm loving that you're talking heart to heart with us. You're putting the most important issues in life...first...and you're taking us along with you on your journey. I think the new house is such a great new chapter for you, and it's a fun, light hearted feeling for all of us to share in it with you. Thank you, Friend...
Interesting video Lisa. think I’d rather feel positive than “happy” all day. If your positive and have a good attitude all else falls into place. Being positive also gives you confidence to get through daily challlenges. Happiness comes and goes. It’s subjective. Being positive is a choice, therefore much more manageable. What do you think?
I’m soooo excited for your make up collection getting paired down! I was amazed with how much I enjoyed putting my makeup on every day when I was no longer overwhelmed and only had things I felt and looked best with!! 💋
I love your expression "I'm going to be Happy today, of course not All day, Everyday day but find something to be happy about." I feel the exact same way~ it's much easier in life & feels good! Thanks for the deep discussions. Take Care.
Micro habits are what helps us to reset larger habits. I’m feeling the same way you are and sorting and purging. Having things in their place helps me stay grounded. I love giving things away instead of just tossing everything away. Love your outlook, Lisa. ❣️❣️❣️
You are a SMOKESHOW in that white dress! And I loved this video today; lately my mood or "vibration" hasn't been great; I need to actively take time out of every day and remember all the reasons to be happy in my life. It's hard because even though I'm not doing as well as, let's say, a lot of influencers my age, I know I am a lot better off than so many people I know in real life.
I love the new direction in your videos! You have so much wisdom and experience to share. I relate to the perfection tendencies. On the first day of first grade I told my mom I didn’t want to go to school because I didn’t know how to read yet. She assured me they would teach me but Ive always wanted to be good at something before I have to “perform” in front of someone.
Hey Lisa, our home is very similar to yours congratulations..it is beautiful. I am still trying to organize my walk in closet. Could you do a video on that. I don't know where to start. ❤
Let's all do it together! De-clutter the mind, body and soul and fill it with purpose, love, and wisdom! It's all about the journey! and living our best life! Love ya LIsa!
What a great conversation you had with us all! I can’t wait to have more of these ‘like girlfriend talks’. I have trouble getting rid of my makeup only because it cost me so much, I have to change my stinking thinking and get my act together. Thanks Lisa😀
Oh Lisa, how right u r. Life is how u wear it! We see are lives in different levels and spaces around us. I turned 60 in June, boy how fabulous I feel. I don't dwell on the negative. Keep it real and peal back the layers. Stay true to yourself, dont sweat the small stuff. Good work by the way. Stay Groovy.
Thanks hun...your so on point as always. I'm not happy with my life but I'm grateful for the small stuff. Thank you for helping me see things through your eyes and heart. I'm happy for you! Oxo
I downsized 4 drawers of makeup to one small acrylic cube. Funny how I was using the same 5 or 6 things each day, not even touching the stash. Now I only use what I have, which are my favorites. Just everyday simple makeup. Same with my wardrobe. I adopted a new rule If I havnt worn or used in 6 months, it gets donated Im down to just my favorite items now. I live in cute tops and leggings. No need for gowns, dresses, jeans, tons of jackets, etc. I re evaluated my lifestyle and kept the things that fit my everyday life. If I ever get invited to the ball, i can run out and buy a pretty dress!!
I agree - complaining does draw a ton more attention than positivity. And that is sad. You will ALWAYS get my views!!! I am so thankful for you bringing me enjoyable videos made by a lady i consider to be my friend!!!! :)
I'm so happy for you that you don't fall in all those "people pleasing trends" and you prioritize yourself and your needs, thanks for sharing it with us ❤

Must be something in the air. I’ve been purging makeup, clothes, everything. It feels great!! Stay fabulous, Lisa 💋😘
I agree. I have been doing the same thing. Downsizing is liberating!

So true!
I did a big purge years ago & it feels great. I’ve been down to two makeup bags for so long & so happy with it. I remember when Pink so foxy did her declutter - it was so inspiring! Thanks for sharing! Xx
I remember when pinksofoxy (Christine) would do inventory and have print outs of totals for lipsticks etc lol
@@peynattyl I forgot all about that...lol
And now she just does plant videos. Lol.

I’m like that with lipstick and bronzer welp‼️😂😂😂
I’m exactly the same way between lipgloss/lipstick and perfume 😩 My guilty addictions ughhhh
lol- true :) But I love that Lisa buys all the things and stuff- so I don't have to waste my time, space and money, and can just occasionally buy something that is cream of the crop.
I’m like that with perfume lol

Having a serious health scare last week did it for me, and I am a very self aware person who is happy 98% of the time.
Hoping you are well.
Your attitude here is EVERYTHING! You did a great job of explaining a tricky thing..... perfection isn't the standard. Being grateful is the standard. We've ALL had difficult experiences and tragedies, but moving on is critical. 💗 You're a light here on YT, Lisa. Thank you! 🥰
I see so much change in you that the weight loss and feeling better seems to have inspired! All material possessions and the desire for more, more, more has been the main learning point of my life. Nothing makes me happier than sitting reading, looking at my flowers and playing with my cat! Obviously time with friends and family are most important, but no “thing” will ever make me happy. It’s an inside job as the saying goes xxx
Saw decorative canvas at Marshall’s that went something like this: Life is like a camera. Focus on what's important. Capture the good times. 📸❤️ Enjoy your new home, new beginnings Lisa! ☀️ So happy for you 🥰
Sounds like we are similar - hard on ourselves. But as I get older, I realize growth/change can be a bit uncomfortable until you have stretched yourself to that new place. If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. Cheers to realizing what makes you happy now…less makeup 💕
I completely hear you on the happiness topic. By nature, I am a happy person. Every day I wake up and desire to be happy and be the good part of someone’s day. That doesn’t mean I’m fake or always “happy”- but I gravitate towards joy and thankfulness. Life is tough, and sometimes really tough. I just won’t let the hard times define me or steal my joy. ❤️❤️❤️ Keep being you, Lisa. We need more happiness and positivity in this world.
I need to go through my makeup too. My problem is thinking about the money that I wasted after wearing something a few times which then makes me hold on to it! It's a viscous cycle and isn't that how hoarding starts? Oh boy.
Yep! And good job for recognizing it. That money is spent, whether you dispose of or use the product. I have to remind myself that keeping it doesn't un-spend the money! Cut your losses and save drawer space.
Yes!! Same here. Plus I’m really into presentation, so most of my makeup is organized in ways that its out of sight and out of mind.
Thank you for sharing yourself, your journey and your heart. The world needs more honest, responsible, positive focused people like you. Keep up the good work Lisa, you are appreciated and loved xoxo
I have not been able to watch your videos the last few years and I started watching last night and have been watching the older ones where you started your change of diet and having a house built ...I have absolutely been loving the new you..Your talks have been so inspiring for me .. Thank you for being so Honest LOVE Debbie
Lisa, you are just the sweetest thing EVER. You are appreciated and your sincerity bleeds out of you.
Thank you so much!! 💗 Lisa
you are truly a blessing, you keep it real girl!!!!
That white dress on you - fabulous!!
I agree I even downsized my Louis Vuitton collection I love being way more minimal these days 😇
Yes, you are right. How you feel is your choice. We get to choose.........Always good advice, thank you!
And yes, self honesty. I remember the day I thought "Maybe you are the problem", and it was like a big slap in the face, but it was true and once I acknowledged that, it was a huge turning point in my mindset, for the better.
I just did a massive purge of not just make up but of my whole house. I know you did your house stuff too. Don't you just feel its just easier to breathe in your home. I was amazed how much the clutter in my home also made my mind cluttered. It took me into my 50s to figure this out LOL I completely understand where you are at in life. I also think you are so happy in your daily life even through the bumps because you have Jesus (holy spirit) in your heart. Big hugs❤
Hands up if You Tube made you buy makeup you didn't really need.
I go through my closet and bathroom every couple of months. I am a Virgo too, Lisa, so I totally get you!! I have really scaled down my wardrobe, although I still have waaayyyy too much. It feels so freeing to purge everything from clothes to kitchen stuff. Nobody needs all that crap and once its out of the house I feel SO GOOD! My mom always said that just because you can afford something, does not mean you should buy it. And if you can't afford it then you most certainly shouldn't buy it!
You have the right attitude Lisa. Do what's best for you and your family. Feeling good and looking good are so empowering but knowing who you are and where you came from and being grateful for all that you have is the best medicine.
Lisa you are such a breath of positive fresh air! I hope this spreads like a trend of happiness with other youtubers. I do see the negative stuff on occasion on youtube with a lot of younger woman mostly, and it does draw views but also fires up bad energy; terrible. With regard to clutter and too much stuff, omg, I am trying so hard to not get more stuff and love what I have but I also feel I have too much. For years and years my makeup fit in one cosmetic case and a small (I do mean small) basket. Thanks to watching youtubers, I now I have a caboodle, and a stuffed shelf in a small cabinet. I am trying to declutter and I find it so hard! Then there is the closet..... Thank you!
Thank you, Lisa, for your genuine, sweet, encouraging, loving spirit! I think you are very clear in communicating that with us. We are lucky to be in this journey with you! 💗
🧡💜❤️ Listening to you talking and reading the comments here about excess makeup purchases I realise I’m not alone. I’ve put a halt on impulse buying. Thanks Lisa. ❤️💜🧡
Hey Lisa!! Enjoyed your video, you are always the pep talk I need!!!! Whenever I do a major clean out of whatever I always ask myself “ Does This Bring Me Joy???” And if it no longer brings me joy or a purpose to my life it has to go, I think that’s a good rule to go by when getting rid of “ things”. Get what brings you joy , I don’t think anyone should expect you to buy/have 10 foundations. I love the feeling of minimizing and decluttering, it really affects your mental health and state of mind!!!
I don’t know I understand what you’re saying but there’s just no way I could get rid of all my make up! I love my makeup 🥴💘💝
I'm glad you are talking about this. People need help right now. You have always seemed like a positive, nice person. "Happy" is kind of a myth. I'll take peace, calm & gratefulness any day.
Just last month I purged my skin care and makeup. I have 2 daughters and a daughter-in-law that I pass things onto. My closet and dressers are next. It feels so good to rid myself of all this clutter I’m no longer using. Keep up with your purging and enjoy your new home 🥰
Omg. Lisa!!! You need to star in the
Housewives of Carolina!”
Fabulous!!!’ Love these videos!!!!
Hugs. Jana - Texas
I am really enjoying how your channel is evolving. I am soaking up all your insight and using it in my life. Thank You so much for being YOU.
Recently I did a makeup purge as well. Kind of funny because the first things to go were the urban Decay Naked pallets - sick of them. I fell into that "gotta have each one" until I realized what a waste that was. Funny there are times when I wake up and feel so happy - not the cheesy kind of happy - but something a bit deeper and hard to explain. Even though I am going through a bunch of medical issues, I still feel that some days, not every day mind you, but most. I was talking to my surgeon about my medical issues and he told me as he has been practicing medicine more and getting older has taught him about patience. He then told me about another of his patient and his journey getting through whatever was his issue. That conversation taught me a couple of things - to have more patience with myself and my poor body that has been going through some tough things and healing is not going to happen all at once. The other thing it taught me is that there is always someone else out there that has a problem more serious than yours. He got me through the rest of my day. Love my doctor. He is awesome. As for you Ms. Lisa, I have a book, and my pens ready to start writing, start looking for the good things each day, and being grateful for the things I have. Looking forward to the journey. Connie
And once again you spoke to my soul, Lisa! 😂 we can feel how you’ve “culled” (so to speak) and figured out a lot of the best of the best in the categories in your life? And made a decided effort to curate the best your life can be in all the aspects….Family life, Home, spiritual, health, makeup, clothes, self improvement/enlightenment etc… we feel you’re radiating the constant evolution, and it’s so contagious even via video 🥰 Idk if that made any sense? Lol
Perfect sense!
@@carolperara6894 thank you, Carol!! 🤗
I love minimalism and keeping the open space look for me personally…it’s easy to get caught up with new trends especially the packaging..marketers are sooo smart🤔
Loved this video, Sometimes I can be negative or just have a bad attitude at times so it was really nice to listen to you talk about being happy and looking at the positive things in life, I really loved and enjoyed listening to your advice, it really helped me :)
Thank you!
Hi Lisa , I am a cosmologist for 49 yrs specializing in skin care and make up . Trying to keep up with the new products all these years was impossible . My collection is only my favorites and if a client wants a Name brand or some thing that they like I tell them at consultation it’s an add on and buy it for them include it on my final bill or and bring it yourself and bring it home I will show you how to use it I’m so proud of you girl and I love you
I am a Virgo too 💖
Such a genuine, positive message.
A grateful heart is a happy heart. I love to see people happy and I don’t understand why people want to watch a video of someone complaining or unhappy🤷♀️. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us! And good for you on returning the unused lip gloss that didn’t work out for you!!
Lisa….this is exactly why I watch you all the time…your happiness, your drive….Ilove to see you thriving and living your best life. You are an inspiration and you make me forget about my own problems….never change be yourself 😙
I am here for this all day every day, Lisa! Wonderful!!!
Moving is great for clearing out your head! Stuff takes up space! I give or throw away one item when I buy a new item…
Lisa I enjoyed listening to you this afternoon. So happy for you & your new home 🏡🌻🌻🌻
You’re a ray of sunshine! Thanks for always sharing your wisdom with us. I’m all about purging and keeping only what you need/really love.
Lisa- you will probably never see this comment, but if you do, I wanted you to know this. We lost my husband's father very suddenly last Sunday. We have been dealing with that all week and the grief is tremendous. I came home yesterday and sat down to rest. I felt like watching something so I turned on TH-cam and thought-I'll see what Lisa posted this week and watch her. She will cheer me up. I watched this video above and you did just that. Thank you. You're a lovely and special person.
I own one foundation, one mascara, one blush ect. I don’t even own any eyeshadow anymore actually. I also have a very minimal wardrobe. I would like to create a capsule wardrobe here soon.
Excited for your journey and you sharing with us! I do feel the older we get we FINALLY get it! I lost my Mom 2 years ago and I retired last year and now I wish I’d done it earlier to spend more time with her! My Dad is almost 91 and I love spending this time with him! My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s this year and now everyday I wake up knowing how blessed I am that I am here to spend quality time with those I love! The stuff needs to go because we all know that is not what makes us happy! Negative thoughts or people I can’t handle! Life happens and can change in minutes! Looking forward to the next video!
love and appreciate ! Thank you so much for this vibe . I feel strong mental support after watching this video! Love your channel! I wish you to be strong and to have a power for all what you would like to achieve !
I love this so much Lisa! You are so encouraging and helpful for so many people. I love it and I appreciate you so much! ❤️ your happiness is contagious
Life updates and gratitude, Cheers to that! Looking forward to the journey with you! xo
I totally agree Lisa! I have been going through a declutter also, even with clothes & I agree it's such a good feeling to bring items to the Goodwill (I always say a little prayer before it's dropped off that it goes to someone who really needs it, not someone who wants to make money off of it) Xx Karen😘❤️
🥰 awwww! That is so cool!
Beautiful, inspiring words of wisdom!!🙏🥰 xoxo
I, too am going through the same frustration and I can trace it back to being overwhelmed with too much stuff in my happy, Family filled dream home. I asked my grown sons and husband to help me clean out our garage for my birthday. And I hauled out all the stuff and reorganized our pantry. These proactive purges have brought such happiness and calm to my life. Good luck to you friend, it is good that you stay positive and encourage others to as well. 💕
I am happy EVERY DAY! Lesson I learned a while ago: anything to excess is usually not healthy. Wisdom really does come with aging and being awake to who you are! Always sending you love!
Lisa...I'm enjoying your videos more now than ever. You are being so real and open and I'm loving that you're talking heart to heart with us. You're putting the most important issues in life...first...and you're taking us along with you on your journey. I think the new house is such a great new chapter for you, and it's a fun, light hearted feeling for all of us to share in it with you. Thank you, Friend...
Thank you SO MUCH, Debby! ❤️ Lisa
God Bless you always Lisa!!!!!
You are such a GOOD person and it comes through your videos always🧿🥰
Good for you, Lisa!!!! That decluttering subject has been on my mind!!!! You’ve given me the spark to get moving!!!!!!!! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Interesting video Lisa. think I’d rather feel positive than “happy” all day. If your positive and have a good attitude all else falls into place. Being positive also gives you confidence to get through daily challlenges. Happiness comes and goes. It’s subjective. Being positive is a choice, therefore much more manageable. What do you think?
I'm so glad I found you along my journey and I look forward to continuing with you!! So much wisdom in your words!
I’m soooo excited for your make up collection getting paired down! I was amazed with how much I enjoyed putting my makeup on every day when I was no longer overwhelmed and only had things I felt and looked best with!! 💋
Nice video Lisa! I love that your videos touch so many aspects of our lives!
I love your expression "I'm going to be Happy today, of course not All day, Everyday day but find something to be happy about." I feel the exact same way~ it's much easier in life & feels good! Thanks for the deep discussions. Take Care.
I totally agree with all you said ! Contrats for decluttering what does not give you happiness!
Micro habits are what helps us to reset larger habits. I’m feeling the same way you are and sorting and purging. Having things in their place helps me stay grounded. I love giving things away instead of just tossing everything away. Love your outlook, Lisa. ❣️❣️❣️
Stay positive Lisa!! It makes you beautiful!! God bless you!!♥
You are a SMOKESHOW in that white dress! And I loved this video today; lately my mood or "vibration" hasn't been great; I need to actively take time out of every day and remember all the reasons to be happy in my life. It's hard because even though I'm not doing as well as, let's say, a lot of influencers my age, I know I am a lot better off than so many people I know in real life.
Such an amazing lesson you shared today. Thank you love 😊
I love the new direction in your videos! You have so much wisdom and experience to share. I relate to the perfection tendencies. On the first day of first grade I told my mom I didn’t want to go to school because I didn’t know how to read yet. She assured me they would teach me but Ive always wanted to be good at something before I have to “perform” in front of someone.
Hey Lisa, our home is very similar to yours congratulations..it is beautiful. I am still trying to organize my walk in closet. Could you do a video on that. I don't know where to start. ❤
Hi Lisa!! You are glowing!!!
Let's all do it together! De-clutter the mind, body and soul and fill it with purpose, love, and wisdom! It's all about the journey! and living our best life! Love ya LIsa!
Holy Moly! The lighting in your new filming space is sooo beautiful! 🤩🤩🤩
What a great conversation you had with us all! I can’t wait to have more of these ‘like girlfriend talks’. I have trouble getting rid of my makeup only because it cost me so much, I have to change my stinking thinking and get my act together. Thanks Lisa😀
Love love love your positivity!!! Shining bright like a diamond ✨
Thanks for your encouragement
Oh Lisa, how right u r. Life is how u wear it! We see are lives in different levels and spaces around us. I turned 60 in June, boy how fabulous I feel. I don't dwell on the negative. Keep it real and peal back the layers. Stay true to yourself, dont sweat the small stuff. Good work by the way. Stay Groovy.
Thanks hun...your so on point as always. I'm not happy with my life but I'm grateful for the small stuff.
Thank you for helping me see things through your eyes and heart. I'm happy for you! Oxo
I downsized 4 drawers of makeup to one small acrylic cube.
Funny how I was using the same 5 or 6 things each day, not even touching the stash. Now I only use what I have, which are my favorites. Just everyday simple makeup.
Same with my wardrobe. I adopted a new rule
If I havnt worn or used in 6 months, it gets donated
Im down to just my favorite items now.
I live in cute tops and leggings. No need for gowns, dresses, jeans, tons of jackets, etc. I re evaluated my lifestyle and kept the things that fit my everyday life.
If I ever get invited to the ball, i can run out and buy a pretty dress!!
I agree - complaining does draw a ton more attention than positivity. And that is sad. You will ALWAYS get my views!!! I am so thankful for you bringing me enjoyable videos made by a lady i consider to be my friend!!!! :)
I'm so happy for you that you don't fall in all those "people pleasing trends" and you prioritize yourself and your needs, thanks for sharing it with us ❤
