00:00Hey you guys I'm Stacey and this is Gorgeously Aging Advanced. So today I

00:08want to share with you guys some of my tried and true methods for tightening

00:13the skin. So for those of you that are brand new a special welcome and those

00:17who have been with me for a while sending you all virtual hugs I

00:20appreciate each and every one of you. So you guys I've tried a bunch of different

00:24things for skin tightening and if you're new I'm 50 years old I've had people

00:28comment that I'm too young to talk about skin tightening but I assure you I have

00:31some aging going on in my face I'm not 30 years old anymore so I want to share

00:37what works what I found works pretty quickly and what maybe takes some more

00:43time and consistency what's most cost effective for skin tightening and what I

00:48think is kind of a waste of money. So I will do a lot of chatting at the end of

00:55the video but I'm gonna get right into the crux of this just get into the meat

00:59of these devices and what I have to share with you and then I will do some

01:04hellos and we'll do some Q&A and chatting toward the end. So one of the

01:09questions I've gotten from a subscriber recently is how you can tighten some

01:13mental loose skin after doing fat dissolving but I think that tightening

01:18skin, loose skin, crepey skin is an issue regardless if you've done fat

01:23dissolving or not we get to a certain point in our aging process where the

01:27skin does start to sag and get loose and crepey so I think you know we all hit

01:32that point at some we all have that concern at some point or another it

01:37could be weight loss even if you're younger and you're not really

01:39experiencing facial aging per se but you've had a bunch of weight loss and

01:43some loose skin as a result those are concerns you know for a lot of different

01:47reasons so I want to share with you guys a brand new device that I got for

01:53radiofrequency those of you who have been with me for a while know that for a

01:56long time I've been using the Even Skin Lumo and this is a handheld device it

02:00has a nice weight to it it's multifunctional in that it has

02:04radiofrequency microcurrent red LED and a few other modalities that I

02:10don't use as often photon and one other thing but I tend to use the radio

02:15frequency for skin tightening the red LED light in the microcurrent on this

02:20device however I had been curious for a really long time about the Emily device

02:27and it's this and it's said to be more of a clinical strength radiofrequency

02:34device now this is a pretty bulky robust device and the heads the head of this

02:40device is pretty substantial it's heavy it unscrews this is the body piece of

02:46it I'm gonna do a full review on gorgeously aging tomorrow and demo for

02:49this but this is a no joke device and this piece of it is super heavy it has a

02:54smaller one for face and this is meant for body but I actually like the body

02:59piece for my jawline so I've been testing this device for about a week it

03:04was not given to me for free this was actually on my Christmas wish list and

03:08my father-in-law bought it for me so I've been using this with the body

03:13device through my jawline and submental area this is an area where I'm trying to

03:18ward off the jowling and just you know we lose that definition in our jawline

03:23as we age so I've been testing this Emily device and a couple things I'll

03:29say about it disadvantages that it stays plugged into the wall and it is corded

03:34however this does have more energy to it so you definitely feel the radio

03:39frequency more with an at-home device like this one I tend to like to hold it

03:45for a few seconds and then move to a new spot and then you feel the radio

03:49frequency of the heat not everybody feels the heat with the same intensity

03:53some people say well I don't feel the heat very much when you put the

03:57conductivity gel the direction say to keep it moving however when you have

04:01radio frequency in often in office oftentimes it's just set against the

04:06skin and in areas and then moved I like to do it that way the second way I just

04:12described I feel like I get better results with that however radio

04:16frequency does get pretty hot it can depending on your sensitivity so always

04:21follow directions I tend to experiment do things a little off-label the radio

04:26frequency that I have had in office I've had two treatments of an in mode I think

04:32it's evoker evolve and that was just set underneath my chin and the device never

04:37moved so it got quite hot and it was like strapped under my chin and it

04:41stayed there so just because other influencers are saying that always has

04:47to be moving doesn't mean that it always has to be moving that's definitely what

04:52the instructions say and I encourage you to follow instructions however having

04:56experimented with some in-office treatments I know that some powerful

05:00radio frequency does just get set in one place and doesn't have to be moving all

05:05the time so I'm really optimistic optimistic about this Emily device I've

05:11used it before five times now and again tomorrow if you're available in the

05:15morning I'll be on gorgeously aging doing a full demo on this device I think

05:22this is gonna be my preferred device I mean I'm really feeling like this

05:26actually has more energy behind it with the radio frequency so I like that the

05:30disadvantage is that it's not cordless so I do like my even skin lumo for just

05:36it's in my bedtime side table so if I'm laying in bed sometimes I'll just pull

05:39it out of the drawer and use it and I've used my even skin lumo both with and

05:45without a connectivity gel in the radio frequency mode it does work better with

05:50the connectivity gel but if you don't have it and you just use it without it

05:55seems to be effective that way as well so and you can always make a

06:00conductivity gel I'll do a full video on that and if I remember I'll try to put

06:05like a homemade recipe but if you have just aloe vera gel you could use aloe

06:10vera gel as a just a quick conductivity gel if you run out this is something I

06:15always keep a big bottle of aloe vera gel and that will work in a pinch they

06:21somebody asked about the price the Emily I have all this list in the description

06:25box below you guys for a quick reference to look at reviews the Emily is about

06:29365 that's the big more kind of professional version but the truth is

06:35the handheld devices at least that much as well sometimes this is on sale so you

06:42can check for more specifics on pricing but these two are pretty similar price

06:46points I do find some of the cheaper radio frequencies that I've played with

06:52in the past don't always work as well and I'm not I don't subscribe to that

06:58you have to pay more to get more but be wary of something that's too cheap or be

07:04wary of some of the things like you find an Aliexpress or things like that some

07:09of these devices are really quite flimsy and just don't give the power to

07:13really do much for skin tightening okay so I want to say a few quick good

07:19mornings before I move on I see Lisa Marie's here and Lisa Day is here good

07:23morning ladies Tess is here hello and Susan hi Susan um K is here good morning

07:30K studio artists I shouldn't remember your first name please remind me and

07:34beauty junkie Lisa is here good morning everybody thank you so much for joining

07:39me Irene just popped in hi Irene I use radio frequency every day I mean

07:45obviously there's some days on the weekends if we have ski races that I'm

07:48really busy I don't but I really try to use it every day when you first start

07:53out you may want to do every other day or every third day just see how your

07:56skin tolerates it and then move up from there so I would say radio frequency for

08:02a non-invasive skin tightening is probably the most the biggest bang for

08:07your buck it's easy it's not evasive you can pretty much do it anywhere an

08:14at-home device like this it's cordless you can take and travel with you this is

08:19gonna be my preferred device the Emily that's a little bit harder to travel

08:23with but I just leave it on my bathroom counter and unplug it in between uses

08:29but I've really been enjoying that one and I love that it has really robust the

08:34heads on it are the these attachments are really heavy and it's got a smaller

08:40one like you could use around the crow's feet and the lip line I tend to use the

08:44body one for the jaw area and then I want to try to use it I'm starting to

08:49get a little creepiness under my arms and tops of knees so I'm going to try

08:54it on there and see if it improves that skin at all something that I've been

08:59using you guys for years now at least a couple of years is boost LED a red LED

09:05mask so I've talked about this a lot the disadvantage of a boost LED is that you

09:11really have to be very consistent I throw this on first thing in the morning

09:14for about 10 minutes while I'm still in bed I mean I may like throw it on while

09:19I'm watching TV or something but red LED is proven to work with wrinkles and skin

09:24tightening and collagen building it's an anti-aging LED light and but the

09:30thing is that it takes consistency you won't see results like radiofrequency

09:33you'll see results relatively quickly but with the red LED you do have to do

09:38it I think I started really seeing some results from the red LED after a couple

09:42of months but it does require you to be really consistent all right so for a

09:48little bit more invasive type of skin tightening if you choose to do

09:54microneedling now it doesn't have to be deep but I do like a good deep

09:57microneedling but the dr. pen m8 is a wonderful tool it does have a charging

10:03cord it stays charged for a good long while and then you buy the cartridge

10:07heads and you can do some microneedling infusing the skin with some really good

10:11skin loving ingredients the benefit of microneedling is those micro injuries

10:17will stimulate collagen production and that has a firming effect on the skin so

10:21doing that on the face under the chin neck chest anywhere you need to infuse

10:26the skin with some really good ingredients but also get that collagen

10:30synthesis is a good option for microneedling but again like the red LED

10:35microneedling if you do it monthly or some people even do it every couple of

10:39weeks you'll see results over time with the way your skin feels as far as the

10:44firmness and tightness and I think like that will pay off in dividends if you're

10:49committed to the monthly microneedling okay I don't take a breath you guys I'm

10:54getting all this information out really really quickly and I will tell you guys

10:59are you so proud of me for actually putting on makeup today I feel so bad

11:02that every time you see me it's like you know no effort has been made I always

11:06have a bare face because I'm doing a treatment my hair up in a bun so I'm

11:10like I'm actually gonna make an effort to put on a little bit of makeup and

11:14look nice today so that is all for you guys and so last but not least I wanted

11:20to point out the power of PDO threads these are from Ace Cosm and these are

11:27mono threads mono threads are probably the easiest thread to use and for skin

11:32tightening I think they're ideal because they're easy to place they don't they're

11:36not a volume thread but they do build nice collagen you can do them just in a

11:42straight formation the areas where you want to induce collagen or you can do

11:46like a crosshatch pattern I have more videos on threads and you can find

11:51information at gorgeouslyaging.com as well but threads over time definitely

11:58create some support and firmness to the skin and I think between radiofrequency

12:03and threads which don't always pair well together let me talk just a minute

12:08about that but these are two really great options for skin tightening now I

12:13do both but when I do threads I place the threads and I avoid radiofrequency

12:19for a little while maybe a couple of weeks and then I go at add it with a

12:23really low setting because you don't want to dissolve prematurely dissolve

12:27the threads with the radiofrequency in most cases at home devices aren't quite

12:32powerful enough to really degrade the thread so substantially that it negates

12:37the benefit of the collagen synthesis but it's always good to be mindful that

12:43they will break down more quickly with radiofrequency but threads are great

12:48I'll continue using threads I do threads pretty regularly but I will caution

12:53people I see a lot of influencers doing threads a bit too frequently one of the

13:00dangers of that and safety is always a big thing for me is that if you're

13:04placing threads too frequently you risk creating scar tissue and then the scar

13:09tissue will make it difficult to put threads in in the future and in some

13:12cases for people who are prone to keloid scarring that can be a concern as well

13:17so I always err on the side of giving giving treatments a lot more time to

13:23heal and certainly I'm not going to come on and show you guys tons of threads I

13:28love threads but I do like to give them time to settle in do their job and not

13:33do them too frequently alright so I got all that out and now we can kind of do

13:39some Q&A and say hellos and if you guys have used any of these devices let me

13:45know what your thoughts are on them and if you have any new devices that you've

13:50been trying and liking please share with the group if you watch this later after

13:54the live you can always comment in the comment section I always love hearing

13:58from you guys hearing what you're using and loving it's through sharing that we

14:01all learn and grow in our skincare journey and our aging journey cases I

14:08have a Time Master Pro and don't use it it was very expensive not sure if it's

14:12RF though I think it may be some kind of ultrasound machine you know I'm not

14:16really super familiar with Time Master Pro but I think it's one of those

14:19devices if I'm not mistaken that gained a lot of traction on Instagram and

14:24that's one of the reasons I'm really kind of happy with this Emily devices

14:29because it's not one that was like sent to me you know of course that's what a

14:33lot of companies do is they send influencers devices and then they get a

14:37kickback for it so it's easy for devices even if they don't work the best to gain

14:41a lot of traction in social media when they're sent out to influencers for free

14:46I'm just being honest you guys I probably shouldn't say all this and the

14:49other content creators are gonna hate me for it but the Emily was on my Christmas

14:54list and I had just had my eye on it thinking you know could this possibly be

14:59close to a clinical grade device and my my initial testing is that it has a lot

15:05of promise and I really like it let me see here good morning Beth thanks you

15:11for thank you for joining us this morning case as you look lovely but

15:15always look fresh and glowy with and with and without makeup thank you so

15:18much you're so sweet you guys I just love that I've got I got a community

15:23that accepts me when I just first roll out of bed so you guys are my people and

15:28I will accept you no matter how you present yourself to me although I don't

15:32get to see you except for your your screen names but I just know that I

15:35accept you as you are which brings me to a comment that somebody made a while

15:40back but I actually screenshot it and saved it because I wanted to address it

15:43at some point and I think it's worthy of making a full video on about you know my

15:50whole concept with gorgeously aging was aging aging gorgeously holistically like

15:54not just the beauty of aging physically but aging beautifully beautifully from

15:59the inside out overcoming some things that are holding us back from living our

16:02fullest happiest life being good people on the inside having good relationships

16:08finding joy just being our best selves and bringing that to the forefront with

16:13our skincare and and meeting those aging concerns on our face and body but

16:19somebody had mentioned that you know it being you know just about vanity and

16:24that beauty is more than that and I couldn't agree more that beauty is so

16:27much more than that you know I always tell my daughters no amount of physical

16:31beauty can mask an ugly heart so it takes so much more than just the outer

16:35beauty to be a beautiful person but you know it's kind of one of those things I

16:39find interesting because nobody criticizes somebody that goes to the gym

16:43every day I mean nobody says you're just vain for going to the gym they say well

16:46good for you you're healthy you're taking care of yourself and I think that

16:50applies to skincare and anti-aging and whatever the case may be if it's

16:55something that we do that improves our feeling of self and improves the way we

17:01move through the world and it's about self-care and self-love it's all a good

17:05thing so you know that's a debatable topic but I just thought I would throw

17:09that out there because I don't see caring for yourself caring for your skin

17:13wearing makeup to doing some anti-aging treatments I don't see that as vanity I

17:18see it as self-care and self-love um let's see here hi NeNe I do liquid

17:24PCL 23% 23% rejuvener rejuvener I always want to say that wrong one month next

17:32month threads micro needling every month do face neck and chest that sounds like

17:37a really good treatment schedule NeNe that's really nice I like that you're

17:42getting the PCL in there that's awesome and of course threads and micro

17:45needling it sounds like a really good routine Tracy is here do you think

17:50screw PDO threads placed in front of the ear jaw would help tighten pull up the

17:55jowl area it can yeah I think over time I do threads through my jaw area hoping

18:02to build collagen and pull this back I tend to do more mono threads I've done

18:07of course the n-series which are cog threads but screw threads would be good

18:12too you're creating volume and that volume helps replace volume loss and you

18:17know the thing with threads and radiofrequency and any of these

18:20modalities is that they won't replace a surgical facelift and that's one of the

18:25big things is that you have to remind yourself that you know it will only do

18:30so much and I think one of the disappointing things for people is

18:34having unrealistic expectations I've been in that boat before where you know

18:38you kind of expect something a specific something I'll give you a really good

18:42example the first time I had cheek filler was in a med spa most everything

18:47that I've done I first had done professionally and then of course I've

18:51taken continued education to to better understand the safety aspects of a lot

18:57of this but I had cheek filler done in a med spa but I also wanted to replace

19:02some or try to even out some lip asymmetry and at the time you know it

19:08was like a thousand dollars for a syringe and so I didn't I really couldn't

19:12afford more than one and I didn't really realize how much it really took to make

19:16a different a noticeable difference and it takes a fair bit of cheek filler to

19:20make a noticeable difference so I was like can I get actually get results with

19:24this and she said yes and so of course I had just a tiniest bit in each cheek and

19:30a little bit in my lips and when I left I had some swelling and I thought well

19:34maybe this is maybe I can see a difference once the swelling went down I

19:37couldn't see anything it just wasn't enough filler to address like the

19:41lateral cheek volume loss really I would have needed to accomplish what I was

19:46looking for now that I've learned I would have probably needed a full

19:50syringe for each cheek and maybe a half for the lips but one syringe for for

19:58everything I was trying to accomplish just wasn't enough and I probably got

20:02off topic with what my point even was you guys but you know this is where you

20:08know now that I've studied more and learned more on my own journey that I've

20:12realized you know some of the mistakes that was the expectation mistake was

20:17going in with expectation that this thousand dollars was gonna make a really

20:21big difference and I was gonna achieve my objective and it really didn't at all

20:26it was kind of a thousand dollars down the drain so that's one that was kind of

20:32a hard way to learn that expectation piece of it was a thousand dollars it

20:37was a thousand dollar learning lesson I really couldn't see any difference at

20:42all to be honest with you so that was really disappointing but let me get back

20:48to comments here you guys you know I get rambling Tracy's here okay Tracy I

20:52answered your question I think Irene is here I have the RF device with

20:57cavitation are you familiar with that it didn't come with instructions and I

21:03don't know how often to safely use it I always say when you're not sure do it

21:08every third day and then increase frequency as you tolerate it in most

21:13cases radio frequency especially on a lower setting now this Emily device I

21:17used on the first setting and it was substantially hotter more energy than my

21:24other handheld devices so I probably won't graduate up to the higher settings

21:29for a while so you know I always say ease into it if you can't find the

21:35instructions for your device better to err on using it less and then work your

21:38way up to using it more often Jillian's here hi Jillian I haven't seen you in a

21:44while so good to see you too and Susan I got an allergic reaction from miracle

21:50L came out in big red blotches all over my body it lasted three days well I

21:56still get the benefits from it from the PCL even though my body doesn't agree

22:01with it that's really hard to say it may just be that miracle L because I have

22:05heard other reports of people having some sensitivity to miracle L you know

22:10another option would be gory which is a more purified version of PCL but always

22:16do a patch test of course none of this is medical advice or instruction you're

22:20always in the best hands of the trained medical professional but I feel really

22:24passionately about safety and so anytime you're introducing something new to your

22:28skin a little patch test is important that way you can kind of see ahead of

22:33time whether or not you might react but I have heard some reports from other

22:37people that miracle L has been a little irritating I have not had that problem

22:42myself but I do think you still would get the benefits you know and once the

22:47allergic reaction reaction has passed the product is still there so it should

22:51still be doing what it was intended to do and then other other people often

22:56will treat themselves that they tend to be a little sensitive with an

22:59antihistamine prior to treatment I tend to just err on the side of doing a patch

23:04test to know for sure I don't like to gamble with any type of allergic

23:07reaction myself April is here I run Pat hi Pat I'm so glad you made it to April

23:15thank you for doing these wonderful lives you're so welcome I enjoy it you

23:18guys I always look forward to chatting with you guys

23:21meanie you're asking Tracy a question okay you guys so I don't want to keep

23:29this live too long I want to be able to answer your questions at the end I think

23:33that's going to be the format for my lives going forward is I'm going to get

23:36right to the information for those who just like to hear that piece of it and

23:45you want to see full DIY videos those are you know I'm not as comfortable

23:50posting them on YouTube anymore I'm being very careful with the terms of

23:54service working closely with my attorney about the specifics of the YouTube terms

23:59and service and I'm tiptoeing because you know they're quite vague and so I

24:03want to make sure that I'm in full compliance at all times so if you want

24:07to see full DIY videos and get some more information that maybe I can't share

24:10here in the description box below is my email sign up when I have a new full

24:15DIY video that goes out to my email list so if you'd like to see that content a

24:20little bit more than what I can share here please do that it's absolutely free

24:25and you just get it to your inbox we also have patreon which is a private

24:31group it is $10 a month subscription and in that group we have a chat community

24:37and it's always active with people who are in their own DIY journey

24:42troubleshooting and having conversations about certain things they've done

24:46mistakes they've made it's really just a great resource if you are doing

24:51skincare treatments and really want some feedback from other people you can share

24:55pictures and of your progress or not whatever you're comfortable with but

24:59it's a very loving accepting group and I'm so proud of that community it's

25:03really great and then we're building a new forum at GorgeouslyAging.com and

25:44subscribed and if not I would love to have you join the community don't forget

25:49to ring the bell so that you get notified when I upload good morning

25:54Monica glad you made it what do you think is the best treatment for vertical

25:59lip lines I think radiofrequency would be really great for the vertical lip

26:03lines I've done some horizontal threads through my upper lip that'll build

26:08collagen there and you guys don't forget above all else sun protection is going

26:14to be your first line of defense against wrinkles and crepey skin so if you are

26:18not protecting your skin from the Sun hats sunscreen reapplying the sunscreen

26:23you know I went through a period in my young life where I felt like you needed

26:27to be a little tan to look good I've definitely completely gotten away from

26:31that I protect my skin constantly every single day year-round carry sunscreens

26:37in my car and my purse and hats in my car in case I forget one I know that

26:43sounds a little bit psycho but protecting your skin from the Sun is

26:46probably your first line of defense against wrinkles but I would say threads

26:50are a great resource microneedling all the things I mentioned here are going to

26:54help those vertical lip lines as well radiofrequency will tighten things up a

26:59little bit of Botox tiny bit on the upper lip is an option definitely see

27:03your provider but yeah and then you know you guys good a good face peel every

27:10once in a while too is nice I don't see peels as the be-all end-all but in

27:16conjunction with other good skincare and devices I think they really help to

27:21turn over the skin I'm doing that BN peel right now and so far I really love

27:25it because it's no downtime and I just don't have time for that right now but I

27:30do see that my skin is just more luminous and you know it less dry and

27:35less flaky so I'm gonna do a series of five of those BN peels and I'll let you

27:40know what I think and then of course once or twice a year else I'll do it you

27:44know a full TCA peel where I get the really good snake skin peeling but for

27:50now this BN peel is working perfectly for me it's buffered with the squalene

27:54oil so you get a nice exfoliation nice glow to the skin without having 10 to 14

28:00days of downtime like you do with a traditional TCA peel Pat says I had a

28:06reaction to Miracle-L I took antihistamine and iced it it was better

28:11the next day oh that's good to hear Pat Katie what's the name of the peel it's

28:17BN yep B-I-E-N-P-E-E-L BN peel and I have two videos those videos are actually

28:24over on Gorgeously Aging right now you're watching on Gorgeously Aging

28:27Advanced so you know I post stuff on both of those channels so you can see

28:32the full application of the BN peel and then the update on that and I'll be

28:37doing another application my second treatment on Monday so you can join me

28:41over on Gorgeously Aging for that second treatment of the BN peel but it's

28:45fantastic in that it's not as painful you don't have downtime you don't get

28:51the big snake skin like heavy-duty peeling but you get a more subtle

28:55gradual peeling of that outer layer of skin and so you can kind of go on with

29:00your normal daily life without having to kind of hide away like you do when you

29:04do a straight TCA hi Mallory hi Katie Katie I just answered your question okay

29:11and with BN peel do you have to stop other products like retinoids or vitamin

29:17C no I didn't stop not a single thing it didn't say that in the directions and

29:22because it was buffered and because my skin's acclimated to active ingredients

29:26I did not discontinue anything now use your best judgment if you're super

29:30sensitive or you're relatively new to vitamin C or retinoids maybe want to

29:36consider discontinuing for a few days but I didn't change anything about my

29:40skincare routine except for a lot of hydration I used a ton of squalene oil

29:45on my face after the BN peel and that really helped and every time I massaged

29:50the squalene oil into my skin I would feel some peeling of skin where that

29:55stuff was coming off so really other than the addition of more oil and I

30:00didn't wear makeup for like the day after in fact I didn't for a couple days

30:05after because I don't wear makeup every day but yeah so that you could

30:10definitely feel that dead skin sloughing off every time you added oil or washed

30:14your face so so I knew it was working it just wasn't as aggressive or drastic as

30:19a full straight TCA um you guys thank you so much for sharing a part of your

30:25day with me I really appreciate each and every one of you guys I was going to

30:29tell you because I love to share these little tidbits one of the things that

30:33makes me happy is cooking I've always loved to cook so cooking for my family

30:38or even just experimenting with cooking is kind of a happy place for me so today

30:42I made I found a waffle recipe and I put that in shorts and YouTube shorts on

30:48gorgeously aging and if you ever are looking for a nice Belgian waffle recipe

30:53that's relatively easy I just got not long ago actually for Christmas from my

30:58husband a Cuisinart double Belgian waffle maker because I used to have a

31:02single one and every time we do it I'd have to make one at a time for my family

31:07and this one has you can do two thick Belgian waffles and so I found this

31:11recipe and it is so good I made Belgian waffles this morning and I was like this

31:16is how I like to start the day like doing something that makes me happy

31:19turn on some music cook for my family and although that's not everybody's cup

31:24of tea I guess the crux of my short this morning is do what makes you happy like

31:29what a great way to start the day like whether if you love to read you know

31:32read a little bit or if you like to take walks or whatever it is that you'd love

31:36to do so or who knows what you know a million things but I'm like why do I not

31:43why do I not start my day in a way that lifts my spirits right so I shared that

31:49recipe if you guys are foodies like me or love to cook give it a try and yeah

31:55my day it started out so great I hope your day goes as well as how I'm feeling

32:00and the waffles were so good I did not need to eat it but I did and it was

32:05delicious and at 50 years old I'm okay if I'm a little bit fluffier around the

32:10midsection I am still taking sex endo which is helping with my weight loss

32:15loss efforts but I think I've come to a place where I'd rather eat the waffle

32:21with my family then then fit into the perfect outfit right so that's kind of

32:27where I am I always want to share that stuff with you guys because I think

32:30we're just so hard on each ourselves as women that you know we just got to give

32:36ourselves a little grace and a little self-love and and just do the things

32:40that make us happy hi Niels yeah we're talking food so at the end of my lives

32:46I'm gonna do more chitchat and Q&A and just talking so I try to get right to

32:51the point in the beginning with if you miss that I did a lot on the skin

32:54tightening and some radiofrequency and just everything we can do to tighten

33:00your skin but toward the end of the lives I'm gonna focus on just connecting

33:04with everybody and saying hello checking in with you all and I made waffles this

33:08morning meals they were really delicious Pat I have some I have the

33:13same waffle maker you do isn't it great you make them every Sunday yeah I mean

33:17we love waffles and I haven't made them in a couple of weeks but this homemade

33:21waffle recipe the reason I found it was because I have always like box mix that

33:26I kind of like add to to make it my own but the last couple times I used it it

33:31just tasted dry and I'm like no I'm making waffles from scratch this time

33:35and it was really pretty quick Monica says you have an artistic creative brain

33:42and makes perfect sense the home decor aesthetics license cooking I'm better

33:47you're probably pretty good at math I'm betting I am good at math in science

33:53like yeah I passed some of that on to my daughter's my daughter Bella's a pre-med

34:00you know she's a an undergrad in Minnesota studying neuroscience but she's

34:04very math driven science driven both my daughters are excel in those in those

34:09subjects but Bella's probably more creative like me yeah it's interesting

34:15to see how that passes on to your children which traits from you your kids

34:18get but yes I am creative and I did do well in math and science in school you

34:26guys I wish that we could do like a zoom where I could see all of you guys and we

34:30just talk to each other you should do some cooking videos I know I always

34:35think about it but then I'm like well I don't want to like discourage people who

34:38are just here for the skincare but you know gorgeously aging and just living

34:43our best lives it's more than just skincare and facial rejuvenation you

34:48know it's about everything and you know I think if there's one thing I feel kind

34:52of proud of is as I've gone into my 50th year of life is just kind of getting to

34:57a point of self-acceptance and really isolating the things that really lift me

35:00up in life and the things that drag me down and who has time for that right I

35:04think when you're young you tolerate so much more and you get to an age where

35:08you're like I don't have as many years ahead of me as I used to so I'm not

35:11gonna I'm not gonna put up with that nonsense and you definitely start living

35:16a more authentic like focused life on the things that make you happy and

35:20fulfilled so I'm so grateful that I'm finally getting there I wish I had

35:25gotten there in my 30s and not putting up with so much bullcrap but let's see

35:30here great info gorgeous I have a question I I bought from ace costume

35:35higher on but reading the prospectus prospectus it says that it's for the

35:42knees no did I throw away the money no no no higher on is a pure hyaluronic

35:47acid and you can use it for BAP you can use it in mesotherapy you can use it in

35:52microneedling higher on is a great product I loved it I used it in a BAP

35:56technique but I also will add a little into microneedling so no no waste of

36:01money at all you'll love higher on there's so many there's so much of it

36:06that comes in that box so definitely use it in more than one way yeah it's a

36:11really versatile product so that's definitely one that I keep on hand so no
