    Hi grace, just wanted to pop in and say you have been a major factor in the zest for life I've felt since 2021. Sometimes, it feels like everyone around me is less excited about the world than I am. While we all have our ups and downs, it's always nice to see someone who shares a genuine gratitude and understanding of what a gift this life is.

    You are so impressive! Catering and hosting for 18 is so very ambitious for a first dinner party! Or 10th dinner party for that matter. 8 is the most I have managed as part of a silent auction.

    I've just watched your dinner party after recently finding your channel. You did a wonderful job of hosting, very well done to you😊. I love watching all hosting videos and they give me great inspiration for my own, I love the idea of playing a game of some kind. 😁I really hope you will do some more hosting and video them 😊. I completely agree with you about having soft lighting, candles lit and all of the room curtains closed. The gives the room a lovely cosy feel as well as giving you complete privacy from outside! ❤

    Mold will stain permanently, Grace, but the bleach will soften the black, and destroy the active mold. The problem with mold is that, if present once, it will return until the caulking or grout is removed and replaced. Mold spores are present in the air pretty much forever once it has established itself. We removed our caulking around the tub and redid it. Much better now. Congrats on Adobe sponsorship.

    That’s my local shopping centre and I’ve run out of my SPF face cream. Perfect timing knowing you’ve been to that exact one so I’m hoping they still have some in.
    I got a very similar mattress topper and I love it. My mattress is quite old but I needed something just to extend it a bit longer until I can afford a really decent one.
    Love watching your vids 🤩

    Your fruit salad had me thinking of something I did once with a Girl Scout meet-up (we were all in high school). We each brought a fruit and then we mixed them into like a friendship fruit salad. It was SO good. A fun little activity for when you want to have a get together and also prep a bit together.

    MOLD TIP. Bleach and Vinegar do not kill mold spores. It's best to contact a professional to remedy the issue and also find out whats causing it. It will spread to other rooms if you dont take action early on.

  • @serenabrent8832
    @serenabrent8832 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Lovely vlog Grace, and congrats on your first dinner party. Regarding the mould issue, plenty of ventilation, and make sure you wear a mask and gloves (you don't want to be breathing in mould, not good for your health). If the mould is in the tile grouting, clean out the old grouting and renew with fresh grouting. Warm moist air coming into contact with cold surfaces is the main cause of mould. Try a good strong bleach, also white vinegar is apparently good as well. Maybe consider getting a wall-mounted bathroom extractor fan fitted if you haven't already got one, as this will help to extract any moisture, but please wear a mask when cleaning until you get rid of the mould. Have a great week, and take care. 🙂

    • @lauriewilliams2855
      @lauriewilliams2855 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should never mix bleach and vinegar as this can be a dangerous combination. 😮

  • @jonap5740
    @jonap5740 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    PS You often have to find the source of the mold, which might be on the boards backing the tiles. Big job to replace them. Soap and water works as well as bleach but again, the discoloration will persevere.

    This is going to sound silly but attach something like a tennisbal to your chest. This way everytime you will move to sleep on your front it will feel uncomfortable so you move/ wont even sleep like that. This will take some time and some less sleepy nights but it works!

    Hi grace, thank you for the video. I am also, as you said 'front sleeper', I can't sleep any other way except on my stomach. It is not great for you back, yes, however, sleeping on your back is also bad, especially if you're snoring. I was snoring so loud that my flatmates couldn't fall asleep. I went to doctors and they diagnosed me with something called apnoea, it is when one's body tissues block airways and one stop breathing during the sleep and it makes your brain wake up and because you're constantly waking up (but you can't remember it!) the sleep quality decreases drastically. Doctors specifically said it is much worse when you're a back sleeper.
    Sorry for such a long story, but I never thought than sleep position and snoring can affect one's sleep health and we're here a sharing&caring community, I thought that someone could be interested as well. So, try sleeping on your side if you can, and if you snore loudly or have sleep issues, go see a doctor. I thought that doctors would laugh at me, but they didn't and uncovered something possibly serious!

      Hi there, I'm also a front sleeper, I get the best sleep in that position. However, I used to wake up with a sore lower back, until I started sleeping with a pillow under my belly. If you have issue with that, give it a try.
