I’m 59, post menopausal, and my sleep used to be so awful! Melatonin helped but I always felt fuzzy headed in the morning. I’ve been taking magnesium glycinate for about 3 years. You’re right Renee, it helps you go to the bathroom easier, and I sleep so good now! The magnesium also helps with leg and toe cramps by relaxing your muscles. No more charley horses for me! From what I’ve read, studies indicate that most people are magnesium deficient. Another thing that helps me sleep is having my ceiling fan on. Especially in the winter when the furnace is running constantly! I feel like I can’t breath if there’s no air movement!
Hahaha, oh my goodness Renee, coffee and poop are my top 2 for the morning. I have never shared that with anyone, assumed it was just me, and here you are putting it out there for all of us 94K subscribers. LOL, you are so down to earth and personable, thank you for that. I am enjoying your channel, real-life content and keeping it real. Grateful I have found you. Appreciate you and again thank you for what you provide to all of us. Looking forward to all you are willing to share. Trisha from Washington State
Renee I am So happy did this video I have done the same only I use a folding step stool it’s 14$ at Walmart but I have use it for about 20 yrs myself !!!!
Hi I’m 38 years old, I’m currently recovering from a hysterectomy so I’ve discovered your channel. I’m very grateful for your videos. I’m a week post op and although two days ago I felt pretty good even put new sheets on my bed and shaved my legs in the shower. Today is not so good. So I’m back on the belly binder and the heating pads. Your videos give me a lot of hope that this was all worth it.
Ooooo you did too much!! No making the bed or putting on new sheets. Nada. Nothing!! Take it easy. Today you're feeling the effects of what you did earlier.
Laurie... you might also find the hystersisters online community to be very helpful. But yes, please rest, you actually need to rest to heal faster. And no vacuuming!! It's the worst. My 2, yes 2 surgeries were vertical incisions. Wishing you effortless healing, but give it time!
First of all I agree we need to talk more openly about these everyday things in life. And not be embarrassed!😂 I like the idea and really when you think about it, it makes sense. Also love the Sherpa blanket, I wouldn't be with out it😊 Have a good weekend and take care 🎃🧡🌞🍄🍁Oh yes sunshine is a must for me too!😊
Thanks for reminding me about the magnesium - I take melatonin and it leaves me groggy the next day - which defeats the purpose of a good night sleep! I think I'm going to have to purchase a squatty potty after such a good endorsement! Thank you for your honesty - it's why I love your channel so much!
Greetings Renee! This was such a helpful video! I'm putting the squatty potty on my list and I think I'm going to upgrade my happy light (I still have the original version that you used to have.) Next on my list will be the pillow! Thank you so much. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Hi Jean! I upgraded my Happy Light last winter (I think) and this new version is soooooo nice! I really enjoy the temperature and brightness levels...but the timer is the big deal for me. With my old version, I would never remember to look at the clock when I started the light and I'd not realize how long I was in front of it.
I just adore you and your vlogs! You have inspired me so much. I did buy the blanket the first time you showed it. It is starting to get cooler here, so I’ll put it on the bed tomorrow. Keep up the good work. You are such an inspiration! ❤
Hi Renee, I so agree with you about the coffee and 💩 when I travel I’ll use the wastebasket as my squatty potty LOL hey it works! Thanks to your recommendation I now have a happy light for the winter months ❤
The waste basket! Love it! I ordered the plastic foldable squatty potty to take along when I travel. I can’t believe I’m so excited about pooping on vacation …but I am!! 💩💩💩
So many great recommendations! I've purchased Happy Light (just got it this week and I love it), but also the latex pillow is a must have with silk pillow case. It will change your sleep for sure! Just ordered the Magnesium today as you've been spot on so far! I'll have to think about the squatty potty! Thank you for all your recommendations Renee! I really enjoy your content!
Rene This video is so perfect your absolutely correct all of your musts…. I’m glad you made this video I’m happier now then I was before, you made me laugh 😅
Totally agree with everything,I am borderline vegetarian,my 💩 cycle is like clockwork and when I treat myself to what I consider junk food it throws me off my cycle and I feel bloated and crappie 😮 for a few days:)
Hi Renee, thank you so much for being so open about things on your channel. When you told us about the Squatty Potty I knew that was exactly what I needed, I just didn’t know the name of it to order one. I’ve also heard the great feedback about it so I went directly to EBay and ordered one by Express Post and I can’t wait until it comes. I just so love your channel, there is always something interesting going on in your videos, and of course there is Maxxy and Pollux, my favourite doggies. Thank you for being you Renee, much love to you. Shelley from the Gold Coast, Australia 👍👏❤️
Renee...I just discovered your Channel and this is the first video that I watched. I so appreciate your openness, candor, and sharing what helps you feel better. For the last 2 years, my doctor put me on an iron supplement and advised me that I may need to take a stool softener. For the last 4 months, I have definitely had to take a stool softener and I've had issues with constipation. I just placed an order for a Squatty Potty in hopes that it will help me with my bowel movement issues. 🤞Thank you so much for sharing about this product! And now I will enjoy watching more of your videos plus your Facebook and Instagram accounts.
I follow a few gals on You Tube, and even though I like them all, I have my three favorites and you are one of them. Nothing to be embarrassed about, we all P**P, it’s just not talked about much. I’ve noticed this ol gals 75) body is a changing, and it isn’t fun at all. I just want to personally THANK YOU, for the mention about the magnesium that you take. I ordered from Amazon and have been taking it for about 3 weeks now. I’ve ordered just about everything else, so why not try one more thing, I was miserable. I can’t believe how well this has helped me, in such a short time. I am now a believer, that’s for sure. Thanks again Renee! Happy Pooping😜 Hugzzzz from Minnesota
Hi Renee - first let me say that i really appreciate you doing this video! So i am not sure why i have made it to 56 and have just heard about the need for Magnesium. I did call my doctor who gave me the green light to take this and i have to tell you, i think this is what i was missing all along. So almost immediately my night time sleep is better as well as the going to the bathroom thing. I hope this becomes more common knowledge for all women who are looking for answers to our ever changing bodies. Thank you for your channel and your true candor.
Well, a new one for me is a squatty potty….interesting that I hadn’t heard of it 😂. Will be looking into that!! Here in central Indiana the winters are like yours and very rough on me as well. During the Amazon sale, after your recommendation, I purchased the happy light!! I’m sure it will be a HUGE help as the days continue to get shorter. Something I must have is a box fan in my room - I could be freezing cold but still have that dang fan running 🤣 Thank you for always helping us live our best lives too!!! ❤❤ ~Kim
I got my Happy Light out just last weekend. We're starting to get gloomy days mixed with sunny days right now...but things can turn on a dime. I'm ready for it!
I sure did....here's the link amzn.to/3S8rTHP. I have the color Burnt Orange. I just recently purchased all new bedding for my Dad's house, and I got him the Navy version of this same quilt. It's great paired with the micromink sherpa blanket 😃
❤ Glad you mentioned Magnesium 🙏 I take a few individual vitamins then also Multi-Vits but have been thinking I should get a good Magnesium, thanks for highlighting them 😀.... Love for Maxi and Pollux 🐾 🐾
Magnesium will definitely make a difference! I asked my doctor about it at first and he basically dismissed it. I decided to try it anyway because Melatonin also made me feel groggy in the morning. Here’s a fact, I will never be without magnesium again! My sleep has improved 100% and I feel so refreshed when I wake up in the morning! One thing I have noticed, since I’m getting a deeper sleep, my dreams are sometimes very vivid!
Hi Renee…I love your videos and straight forwardness. It’s like a breath of fresh air. Lol maybe you can suggest some wonderful sheets too. I’m in desperate need of new ones that feel like they’ve been worn in. I will be buying the pillows and blanket you recommended in your video. Looking forward to the next one. 👍Have an awesome day.
Hi Shelley! Here's the link to the sheets that I have on all my beds. Lots of color and pattern options amzn.to/3S4zas7. I have pinstripe grey on my bed, solid white on the guest beds, and just bought the windowpane grey for my dad. They are soft with deep pockets. Wash well and affordable.
Thanks so much for talking about the squatty potty! I have heard of it but had no idea how it is used. Love you and love your videos!!! Kiss Pollux and Maxie for me! 🧡🐕🐕🧡
First, thanks for talking about poop! It's a normal bodily function (just like breathing or having periods) and everybody does it. No need for embarrassment. I'd never heard of the squatty potty, but I'll have to try one! If you watch animals poop, they are all "hunched" kind of in the squatty potty position! We can learn a lot from animals--even how best to poop! I tried coffee when I got into college and hated the taste of it. Yuck. I never acquired a taste for it (like beer--never acquired a taste for that, either), so don't drink it. I don't miss it and don't need it to "wake up". If I've slept well the night before, I wake up rarin' to go.
Hey Jan! I'm with you on the coffee...but it makes me poop. So for that reason, I drink one cup every morning 💩☕ You should absolutely give the squatty potty a try. It's a game changer!
Times are tough and if you cannot afford a squatty potty just put two rolls of toilet paper on the floor with the hole facing up and put your feet on those. It works just the same. I've been doing it for years
I just found you a couple of weeks ago, and I am so happy about it! Quick questions. I am interested in buying the bed that you have. Did you also get the mattress that you can get with the frame? Also, did you buy a separate headboard that attaches? One thing I would love to see (and maybe you already did this), is a video of you and randy maybe making different cocktails. That would be fun. Thanks for bringing so much joy!
Hi and welcome!!! I think this video will answer most of your questions about our bed th-cam.com/video/zcUrKLp27y8/w-d-xo.html. In the description box of that video, you find all of our bedding, mattress, and adjustable bedframe info. It's all on Amazon :). Our headboard is separate from the frame (but we have it attached at the base)...it's a headboard we've had for years. I don't have a video with all of our cocktails, but we did write a margarita drinkbook with 10 delicious margaritas all created by us! It's a digital cookbook that you download to your computer....and it's an add-on to my first cookbook called In Renee's Kitchen. Here's the link if you want to see the details welcometomycurls.myflodesk.com/cookbook
I never heard of a squatty potty?! That actually makes total sense! Poop is a big deal lol only you can discuss that topic so perfectly you always make me laugh Renee!
Hi Neighbor, I also live in Western Ky. We are a hour from you, My husband loves Paducah. we visit few times a year, He loves the fact they don't tear down there old buildings, Been watching your channel for awhile, but thought i would get on here and say hi. Love the 5 healthy habits video, I have been using squatty potty for about 10yrs. I need light also, so gonna look into the light, I suffer from Fibromyalgia so stretching is very important to me, I take Magnesium twice a day, along with 5 other vitamins, of course i am lot older than you lol. My hubby was having leg cramps real bad. Gave him magnesium and it helped, now he takes is every night, thanks for all the info, What is the brand of pillow? still trying to find it, I have to be real careful buying a pillow, can't be too hard and thick, like a soft but good pillow,
These pants are from Old Navy in the Stretch Tech collection. My pants are a few years old but they now have new styles and colors. I love them and wear them all the time! I have about 5 different styles :)
Hi! My bed is layered like this (top to bottom)......thin quilt, sherpa blanket, flat sheet, fitted sheet. In the warmer months, I can pull back the quilt if needed but I always have the sherpa blanket on me 😊
Hi Renee. I’ve heard you mention before that you intermittent fast. What do you put, if anything, in your coffee in the morning? I love coffee and can drink it black but like a little flavor every once in a while and I am planning to start IF again. Then I only had black coffee. Just wondering if you add anything to yours. Btw: I love your videos!!
Hi Sandy! I put a tablespoon of half & half in my coffee. No sweetener or flavoring. Just a tad of cream to thicken it up a bit :). I used to put honey in my coffee but stopped that with IF because it would break my fast.
We've had squatty pottys for years. I think I saw it on "Shark Tank." I don't drink coffee, but my water and fiber intake help me stay regular. What settings do you use on your Happy Light? We need to get one (or two).
Shark Tank....yes! That's where I saw it (not QVC lol). On my happy light, I use the brightest setting for 25 minutes in the morning. It's on my desk and about 20-24 inches away from my face.
Thanks for the information on the pillows. I sleep on my sides. Will the pillow come up around my head? I am thinking of the more expensive but don’t know how it will for me. Do you know if I can return if it doesn’t work for me? Thanks for all your information. I enjoy your videos except for the food - I am plant based/ vegan but love to watch and learn on the rest.
Hey Renee, since you've made TMI acceptable, I do not need a squatty potty BEcause.....I put my feet up on the toilet seat which would be the same position as squatting when you poop in the woods on a camping trip! Yes, I am limber at almost 70. Big birthday in November! I sit in a squat position almost every day to stretch my lower back. Hope you try it.
I love love love my squatty potty it is like magic sometimes you get up and are like. Where did all that come from you don’t even realize that you pooped that much. It has also helped my 75 yr old Mother with her IBS. Don’t think about it just get it.
I also have one, but I put my feet farther apart than what you demonstrated as there is a slant there closer to the outside. I think that’s the magic spot.
Hi Renee, now that you’re retired, how are you covered by insurance? I’m 59 and can’t get SS until I’m 62. I’m tired of working a FT job😝😋💕 Yes on the magnesium!
Again so many similarities!! I need my coffee! I need Sun in my life I tell my husband this all the time! We’re from MN we have winter I swear 6 months out of the year, and I just purchased a happy light because of your channel! I have to poop “smoothly “ these days since my hysterectomy because of my vaginal cuff I have to do some sort of exercise walk/ run/ and I stretch before bed! Enjoy your weekend Renee! ❤️
Love it! Twinsies 😁 I just bought my daughter a Happy Light because she lives in Milwaukee where winters are long and cold. She is missing the sun too :)
We travel to Wisconsin a lot for our son’s Football games. Milwaukee is such a pretty town! How is your daughter liking the climate change compared to KY?
Hi Renee, going through some old videos, can’t seem to find the one I want🤷♀️I thought you mentioned you’re trying a new magnesium? I was wondering how it compares to the one you usually have been taking? I’m on my second bottle and I’m pretty please with that one, if not just for regularity!👍🏻 Just being curious in what you thought! Hugzzzz from Minnesota
It definitely works! Last night, Randy and I were laughing about how on vacation years ago, I stacked a bunch of beach towels around the toilet so I could prop up my feet! 😂
You can do a seated crunch on the toilet too holding your knees with your hands. Or put heels on edge of toilet. Same as squatty potty position and good for strengthening your stomach muscles. Amazing.
Can you imagine your next trip to Puerto Vallarta with the Squatty Potty folded up inside of your suitcase!!! Do you think they will want to open your luggage to see what it is? Or would it just go through the baggage check-in as normal? 🤨 😅
LOL I'm taking it! I ordered the plastic black foldable version that only weighs 2.5 lbs. I'll put it in my checked baggage and it shouldn't be any issue 😊
☕💩☀🧘♀😴......that about sums it up! LOL
Thank Ranee!
I’m 59, post menopausal, and my sleep used to be so awful! Melatonin helped but I always felt fuzzy headed in the morning.
I’ve been taking magnesium glycinate for about 3 years. You’re right Renee, it helps you go to the bathroom easier, and I sleep so good now! The magnesium also helps with leg and toe cramps by relaxing your muscles. No more charley horses for me! From what I’ve read, studies indicate that most people are magnesium deficient.
Another thing that helps me sleep is having my ceiling fan on. Especially in the winter when the furnace is running constantly! I feel like I can’t breath if there’s no air movement!
Oh yes.....I never turn off the ceiling fan in my bedroom. I need the air to move!! Totally agree with you 😊
Hahaha, oh my goodness Renee, coffee and poop are my top 2 for the morning. I have never shared that with anyone, assumed it was just me, and here you are putting it out there for all of us 94K subscribers. LOL, you are so down to earth and personable, thank you for that. I am enjoying your channel, real-life content and keeping it real. Grateful I have found you. Appreciate you and again thank you for what you provide to all of us.

Hi Trish! LOL me too girl!!!! 💩☕️😁
So love your candor and willingness to share what makes you have good days. You are an inspiration, Renee.
Thank you so much!
You say it as it is and that’s just what I love about your videos. Honest and straight to the point.
😀 thank you!
Renee I am So happy did this video I have done the same only I use a folding step stool it’s 14$ at Walmart but I have use it for about 20 yrs myself !!!!
I am right there with you about having the coffee every day! It keeps everything moving right along!
LOL Renee, you'll embarrass yourself for your channel! Now that's commitment on a new level! 😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
🤪
I am the same about having to have a good night's sleep. It's like my brain doesn't work if I don't get enough sleep. Thanks for sharing!

I bought the Happy Light through your Amazon link upon your recommendation when I first saw it on your channel. I love it!
Yay! So glad you love it! I do too ☀️
You are a ray of sunshine. So glad you keep it real.
You are such a blessing. Your attitude and energy is a joy to watch and enjoy. We are so similar that it’s scary crazy.
First of all I agree we need to talk more openly about these everyday things in life. And not be embarrassed!😂 I like the idea and really when you think about it, it makes sense.

LOL she was just looking at me like.......😂
Found this video so informative. Thank you for sharing. I think getting into a routine is very important for everyone.
I just adore you and your vlogs! You have inspired me so much. I did buy the blanket the first time you showed it. It is starting to get cooler here, so I’ll put it on the bed tomorrow. Keep up the good work. You are such an inspiration! ❤
Wow this why I love this post
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
we love you Renee youre making a better world one video at a time.
❤ Apples helps me sleep, coffee helps me pooping poo, and walking in the sun lifts my spirits too! Thanks for the inspirational video!🎉
Do you eat an apple in the eve?
An apple helps you sleep?? That's interesting...didn't know that 🍎
I agree, walking energizes me!
Hi Renee, I so agree with you about the coffee and 💩 when I travel I’ll use the wastebasket as my squatty potty LOL hey it works! Thanks to your recommendation I now have a happy light for the winter months ❤

@WELCOMETOMYCURLS I get excited when I've pooped 3 times in a day LOL Seriously though pooping is extremely important .
So many great recommendations! I've purchased Happy Light (just got it this week and I love it), but also the latex pillow is a must have with silk pillow case. It will change your sleep for sure! Just ordered the Magnesium today as you've been spot on so far! I'll have to think about the squatty potty! Thank you for all your recommendations Renee! I really enjoy your content!
BIG thumbs up to the silk pillowcase....it's a must for me too!
This was such a great video! Thanks for talking about difficult but important topics.
Rene This video is so perfect your absolutely correct all of your musts…. I’m glad you made this video I’m happier now then I was before, you made me laugh 😅
Glad I could brighten your day. Have a good one! 😊

I ❤ your dog! Great video!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for all the good info. I need a squatty potty, a happy light, a pillow and a blanket!!
You're so welcome....and YES you do!!! 😊
Totally agree with everything,I am borderline vegetarian,my 💩 cycle is like clockwork and when I treat myself to what I consider junk food it throws me off my cycle and I feel bloated and crappie 😮 for a few days:)
Same! If I eat too much junk or breads, I can get bloated and "backed up" as my father calls it. That's no good!
❤thank you Renee! Love your channel!!!
Thank you so much!
Just ordered the blanket and thank you such practical very useful advice 🫶
Good morning Renee, on the train on my way to work and I agree! #2 is very important 👏👏👍But #1 rules ☕👍👏👏👏❤️
Good morning! Hope you have a wonderful day. And to start it off with train ride....fun!

I love this video thank you so much for sharing these wonderful steps.Some of them I also do already.Ill ne adding the rest soon😊❤🎉
You are so welcome!
@@WelcomeToMyCurls 🥰😃😍💕All you do is appreciated.Keep up all the great content just love what you do.
Dear Renee the pillow is currently unavailable on Amazon 😔...I love all your habits, thanks for sharing!!!
I just added it to my cart
Thank you so much, Renee. Did you buy your comforter on Amazon too?
I sure did....here's the link amzn.to/3S8rTHP. I have the color Burnt Orange. I just recently purchased all new bedding for my Dad's house, and I got him the Navy version of this same quilt. It's great paired with the micromink sherpa blanket 😃
I tried this and it WORKS 😊
❤ Glad you mentioned Magnesium 🙏 I take a few individual vitamins then also Multi-Vits but have been thinking I should get a good Magnesium, thanks for highlighting them 😀.... Love for Maxi and Pollux 🐾 🐾
Good morning! I like this specific triple magnesium supplement because it's easily absorbed and doesn't give me a stomach ache like some versions can.
Magnesium will definitely make a difference! I asked my doctor about it at first and he basically dismissed it. I decided to try it anyway because Melatonin also made me feel groggy in the morning. Here’s a fact, I will never be without magnesium again! My sleep has improved 100% and I feel so refreshed when I wake up in the morning!

I’m in desperate need of new ones that feel like they’ve been worn in. I will be buying the pillows and blanket you recommended in your video. Looking forward to the next one. 👍Have an awesome day.
Hi Shelley! Here's the link to the sheets that I have on all my beds. Lots of color and pattern options amzn.to/3S4zas7. I have pinstripe grey on my bed, solid white on the guest beds, and just bought the windowpane grey for my dad. They are soft with deep pockets. Wash well and affordable.
@@WelcomeToMyCurls Just wondering, Renee. Do you also use a flat top sheet over your sherpa blanket?
I have a squatty potty and it helps. I can't remember how I heard about it, but I love it.
Yay!!! Woo hoo for good poops 💩😀
Thank you
Thanks so much for talking about the squatty potty! I have heard of it but had no idea how it is used. Love you and love your videos!!! Kiss Pollux and Maxie for me!

Oh girl.......you have got to try a potty stool. It's life changing! 😊
First, thanks for talking about poop! It's a normal bodily function (just like breathing or having periods) and everybody does it. No need for embarrassment. I'd never heard of the squatty potty, but I'll have to try one! If you watch animals poop, they are all "hunched" kind of in the squatty potty position!

I never acquired a taste for it (like beer--never acquired a taste for that, either), so don't drink it. I don't miss it and don't need it to "wake up". If I've slept well the night before, I wake up rarin' to go.
Hey Jan! I'm with you on the coffee...but it makes me poop. So for that reason, I drink one cup every morning 💩☕ You should absolutely give the squatty potty a try. It's a game changer!
Times are tough and if you cannot afford a squatty potty just put two rolls of toilet paper on the floor with the hole facing up and put your feet on those. It works just the same. I've been doing it for years
LOL well....I guess that could do it
I just found you a couple of weeks ago, and I am so happy about it! Quick questions. I am interested in buying the bed that you have. Did you also get the mattress that you can get with the frame? Also, did you buy a separate headboard that attaches? One thing I would love to see (and maybe you already did this), is a video of you and randy maybe making different cocktails. That would be fun. Thanks for bringing so much joy!
Hi and welcome!!! I think this video will answer most of your questions about our bed th-cam.com/video/zcUrKLp27y8/w-d-xo.html. In the description box of that video, you find all of our bedding, mattress, and adjustable bedframe info. It's all on Amazon :). Our headboard is separate from the frame (but we have it attached at the base)...it's a headboard we've had for years. I don't have a video with all of our cocktails, but we did write a margarita drinkbook with 10 delicious margaritas all created by us! It's a digital cookbook that you download to your computer....and it's an add-on to my first cookbook called In Renee's Kitchen. Here's the link if you want to see the details welcometomycurls.myflodesk.com/cookbook
Thank you so much!
OMG, girl, you had me rolling with this video. Thank you for the laughs. I’m buying a squatty potty now! 🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼
Love it!!!! Happy pooping 💩
❤❤❤❤ great info. Thanks for sharing.
Are you still fasting and doing low carb?
I never heard of a squatty potty?! That actually makes total sense! Poop is a big deal lol only you can discuss that topic so perfectly you always make me laugh Renee!
LOL girl!!!! You NEED a squatty potty!! At first, the position takes a little getting used to. But it's soooo worth it. You'll poop great! 💩
Hi Neighbor, I also live in Western Ky. We are a hour from you, My husband loves Paducah. we visit few times a year, He loves the fact they don't tear down there old buildings, Been watching your channel for awhile, but thought i would get on here and say hi. Love the 5 healthy habits video, I have been using squatty potty for about 10yrs. I need light also, so gonna look into the light, I suffer from Fibromyalgia so stretching is very important to me, I take Magnesium twice a day, along with 5 other vitamins, of course i am lot older than you lol. My hubby was having leg cramps real bad. Gave him magnesium and it helped, now he takes is every night, thanks for all the info, What is the brand of pillow? still trying to find it, I have to be real careful buying a pillow, can't be too hard and thick, like a soft but good pillow,
Loving your kaki colored pants. Was hoping for a link!❤
These pants are from Old Navy in the Stretch Tech collection. My pants are a few years old but they now have new styles and colors. I love them and wear them all the time! I have about 5 different styles :)
Hi Renee'! That squatty-potty is news to me but, a great idea.
Thanks as always for your sage advise! Love you girl!! Kisses for Maxxie and Pollux!
You are so welcome! The squatty potty is a game changer…it’s a must have for me 😀
Just wondering, Renee. Do you also use a flat top sheet over your sherpa blanket?
Hi! My bed is layered like this (top to bottom)......thin quilt, sherpa blanket, flat sheet, fitted sheet. In the warmer months, I can pull back the quilt if needed but I always have the sherpa blanket on me 😊
Hi Renee. I’ve heard you mention before that you intermittent fast. What do you put, if anything, in your coffee in the morning? I love coffee and can drink it black but like a little flavor every once in a while and I am planning to start IF again. Then I only had black coffee. Just wondering if you add anything to yours. Btw: I love your videos!!
Hi Sandy! I put a tablespoon of half & half in my coffee. No sweetener or flavoring. Just a tad of cream to thicken it up a bit :). I used to put honey in my coffee but stopped that with IF because it would break my fast.
Best video 😂 ....laughed so much as your neighbor walked by.
LOL I know.....😂
We've had squatty pottys for years. I think I saw it on "Shark Tank." I don't drink coffee, but my water and fiber intake help me stay regular. What settings do you use on your Happy Light? We need to get one (or two).
Shark Tank....yes! That's where I saw it (not QVC lol). On my happy light, I use the brightest setting for 25 minutes in the morning. It's on my desk and about 20-24 inches away from my face.
All true
Hi Renee, have a great day
Same to you
All your tips make perfect sense. I’m ordering the squatty potty for sure. Thank you.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I use my small bathroom trash can to put my feet up on like the squatty potty. I didn’t know about the leaning forward part, but I do now!
You went there, but it’s really helpful!
Thanks for the information on the pillows. I sleep on my sides. Will the pillow come up around my head? I am thinking of the more expensive but don’t know how it will for me. Do you know if I can return if it doesn’t work for me?
Thanks for all your information. I enjoy your videos except for the food - I am plant based/ vegan but love to watch and learn on the rest.
Excellent 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hey Renee, since you've made TMI acceptable, I do not need a squatty potty BEcause.....I put my feet up on the toilet seat which would be the same position as squatting when you poop in the woods on a camping trip! Yes, I am limber at almost 70. Big birthday in November! I sit in a squat position almost every day to stretch my lower back. Hope you try it.
Oh my.....I don't know if I could even do that! OMG you're going to make me try that tomorrow!!! Now that's a position 😆💩
Just Wow LoriJ ! What age did you start this and what led to it?
I can remember doing this at least5 years but I cannot remember how it started! @@s.p.3738
I miss hearing about Pollux and Maxxie.
I love love love my squatty potty it is like magic sometimes you get up and are like. Where did all that come from you don’t even realize that you pooped that much. It has also helped my 75 yr old Mother with her IBS. Don’t think about it just get it.
Yes!!!! Agree 100%!! Everybody should have squatty potty!
I also have one, but I put my feet farther apart than what you demonstrated as there is a slant there closer to the outside. I think that’s the magic spot.
I've found that taking Vitamin B complex helps me keep regular bowel movements, as well as being well hydrated like you mentioned.
Interesting!
You are the cutest!
awww thank you 😊
Hi Renee, now that you’re retired, how are you covered by insurance? I’m 59 and can’t get SS until I’m 62. I’m tired of working a FT job😝😋💕 Yes on the magnesium!
I'm on my husband's policy....but I have to pay for it. Cost is $800 a month for my health coverage 🥹
Hahah this is good I’m getting a real kick out of you I’m going to buy one right away 😂❤❤❤
What is the name of the free intermittent app that you use? I'm ready to start feeling better.
Fastic is the app. You can also track everything on paper to get started. That's how I did it 😊
I got my Squatty Potty after watching it unveil on Shark Tank. Love it!
Again so many similarities!!
I need my coffee!
I need Sun in my life I tell my husband this all the time! We’re from MN we have winter I swear 6 months out of the year, and I just purchased a happy light because of your channel!
I have to poop “smoothly “ these days since my hysterectomy because of my vaginal cuff
I have to do some sort of exercise walk/ run/ and I stretch before bed!
Enjoy your weekend Renee! ❤️
Love it! Twinsies 😁 I just bought my daughter a Happy Light because she lives in Milwaukee where winters are long and cold. She is missing the sun too :)
We travel to Wisconsin a lot for our son’s Football games. Milwaukee is such a pretty town! How is your daughter liking the climate change compared to KY?
Hi Renee, going through some old videos, can’t seem to find the one I want🤷♀️I thought you mentioned you’re trying a new magnesium? I was wondering how it compares to the one you usually have been taking? I’m on my second bottle and I’m pretty please with that one, if not just for regularity!👍🏻 Just being curious in what you thought!
Hugzzzz from Minnesota
Hi! Just got the new brand and haven’t started it yet. I’ll keep you posted 😀
Hello Renee what did you do to get over the nausea when you first started fasting
Hi Pam! I didn't experience any nausea. Wonder why you are?
@@WelcomeToMyCurls I think my blood sugar drops so i have to eat something so how can i avoid that when i start fasting. Thanks
Ha I too need coffee to poop, but it takes about a whole pot of coffee. You’re fortunate to have to only drink one cup😋💕
Oh my goodness....I would be peeing all day if I drank a pot of coffee....not to mention bouncing off the walls!!! 🤩
Magnesium L-Theonate, pass into blood brain barrier..the best mag..look into this..
Hahaha! 😂. You’re adorable! I love my squatty potty!
Me too!!
My husband made me what I call my poop stool out of wood. It definitely works.
It definitely works! Last night, Randy and I were laughing about how on vacation years ago, I stacked a bunch of beach towels around the toilet so I could prop up my feet! 😂
@@WelcomeToMyCurls 😄 if you gotta go, you've gotta go; and if it works, it works!!
You are so funny!!😂
❤❤❤
❤
You can do a seated crunch on the toilet too holding your knees with your hands. Or put heels on edge of toilet. Same as squatty potty position and good for strengthening your stomach muscles. Amazing.
So true!!!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😊
Girl! You want to have a nice time on vacay and can't go! I hate it!
Oooo I'm not going to have an issue this year because I'm taking my foldable squatty potty!! 💩 Happy dance!!!
Here in IN no sun all winter. Awful
Sounds fine but can't take one of those to work and that's where my mandatory morning movement happens. . . . . . .
Can you imagine your next trip to Puerto Vallarta with the Squatty Potty folded up inside of your suitcase!!! Do you think they will want to open your luggage to see what it is? Or would it just go through the baggage check-in as normal? 🤨 😅
LOL I'm taking it! I ordered the plastic black foldable version that only weighs 2.5 lbs. I'll put it in my checked baggage and it shouldn't be any issue 😊
