Angie, I could see your eyes filling with tears. It’s natural that you are grieving the meaning of that home to the story of your family. You are smart to Take the time you need to honor that. Sending you love and strength to enter this new chapter of your life. Thank you for being willing to share this.
I get misty every time I think about leaving this wonderful home... I thought I'd live here forever but life has its way of changing our plans. Thanks for your support! It means a lot!! xo ~a.
I feel you,just lost my husband in an unexpected car accident, and I am facing things I never imagined! It made me feel better to hear you are alone(for now,😉)and managing....I remember when you first started out,and responded to a question I had,very exciting...haha! thanks for all your hard work.
Angie, I needed this video. I am a single mom and went back to college to finish my degree when my husband abruptly left. I have an only child and he starts college in the fall. He will be moving to a new place. I graduate in December. When you said the world is your oyster...I almost cried. I have to get out of this house. The upkeep of the yards, pool, and house is too much. I will be so sad to leave the house where I raised my son, but I need to go. I loved hearing your story. Please share more about your life with us. Good luck. Cannot wait to see the new place. Also, I am a native Floridian and it is wonderful there. I miss it.
Hi Kelley - I hear ya! I got divorced when my youngest of 3 kids was in high school and I was on the verge of going back to school for child psychology. Just like Angie, I had an entire house to sort out. After 26 years of marriage and raising a family, it took a long time! I delayed going to school and rented a smaller house to keep my daughter zoned to her high school so she could maintain her friendships and graduate with her friends. The garage of that house was like a Rubik's cube of stuff from from the old house - you couldn't move one thing without shifting the entire cube around to get to it. But I sorted it out, sold a lot at a gigantic yard sale, downsized to an apartment and finally went back to school. I switched career paths and I'm just finishing up a BS in Health Services Administration, have a new job, new apartment, new life. It was hard to leave my house but I've learned to do so much on my own! It can be done! And we can not only survive doing it - but THRIVE and FLOURISH! Take care! ~Nancy (in Houston, TX)
@@nancymontgomery5884 thank you, Nancy. Good for you for getting your degree. I graduate in December in HDFS. I was a nutrition major, but the chemistries were impossible. So I also changed courses and I am hoping when I graduate that I can sell this house (if my son is okay with it) and find something more manageable. It is a lot of work, especially when you don't have extra money to hire others for the lawn, pool, and fixing everything (thank goodness for youtube videos on taking apart a garbage disposal) that goes wrong. I am so nervous but I feel like the answers will come. I appreciate the sweet reply and I'm so proud for you. I hope I can be brave enough to go somewhere that makes me happier. I am hoping to reach where you are. Way to go!! -Kelley
I think you are one of the few bloggers who say "big news" and talk about big personal fun news and not about "buy my new product". Thanks for all your videos!
Yes Angie!!! Blog about the move and show us all details about your new house! Also, I think you do deserve a week off during the move for sure but if you want to make videos I always love your chatty make up get ready videos where you talk about your life. Unlike me, who kind of bears it all, you are a mystery woman and we always love to hear more about you personally and your life. Congratulations on all of the wonderful changes in your life! We all wish you the total best of everything!💝🙂🐇
Congratulations on your new home! Would love to see a vlog/blog on your move if you have the time to do so. Enjoyed this video, I sure wish I apply makeup as nicely as you, lol. That eyeshadow palette is pretty!
Yes please, blog your move and transition. I am at the same stage of life as you, and am so impressed with your positivity. Any hints and tips you have about moving and coping are MUCH appreciated. I too have a large historic house which I LOVE, but is soo big to take care of on my own. Thank you so much for being real and honest. 🌸
The best advice from you? Start clearing out now! We aren’t moving but have 42 years of clutter, sentimental items, and things we just enjoy. Plus junk! I would LOVE to see your 200 year old house and a vlog about your move, your unpacking, the choices you make and why. Take us long on your journey. And best of luck!
Thanks for giving me specifics on what you want to see! My friend does a "throw out 1 item a week" routine with no plans to move or deadline and over the past year she's done so much!
@@AngieHotandFlashy I am starting to do the same thing! When I see something don’t really want to keep I throw it into a donate pile. Not so intimidating. Thanks for the tips.
The other key thing is, after living someplace for so long, you have to reframe why you are keeping things. Truly, kids do not want your old stuff. Your sentimental stuff is only sentimental to you. Goodwill was throwing away 60% of what they were taking in during the pandemic so even charities are trashing things. It's such a disposable world right now. Sad but true.
When you leave the house for the last time, go through the house, every area, and (it sounds crazy but stick with me) express your love and *gratitude* for all the life and love it sheltered within those rooms. You will feel complete on leaving and the house will have that vibe of a warm loving home for its new family.
I have always done this- especially when my kids were young & we'd move. After the house was empty, Wwe would go into every room & sit in the middle & talk about the memories we enjoyed in that room, etc. It was great closure & helped us move on without being sad...
Would you consider doing an eyeshadow look for “small hooded eyes”? What would be the best colors to use to make them look bigger & awake?? Especially for “tired small hooded eyes”!💕💕💕
Blogging about the move will help others planning to move in the future. Things you wish you had done, what not to do, don't forget about (fill in the blank), do this before that, etc. What a hassle driving back and forth to your new condo to get things done all these months.
I can relate after moving from my Maryland home of 20+ years to Florida. 🌴☀️ 💗 I started at least 4 years prior to the move discarding a TON of stuff and still brought too much with me! I think you will love your new found freedom! Congratulations!
Angie, so happy for you! I have to admit, I started to tear up at the end of your video when you said how sad it will be to lock the door for the last time and drive off. But this is a new chapter in you life so enjoy the journey!!!
I’m so excited for you! I think I can say on behalf of everyone that we’ll be happy for less vids if it means you can get settled in your new place. Congratulations, you deserve it ❤️❤️
Awww, I loved this video, Angie! I always appreciate your combination of polished, professional and real, but this one made me feel like I was sitting in a girlfriend’s bathroom while she was getting ready. The spontaneous stream-of-consciousness was so genuine and honest. It was great to hear what you’ve been up to, and I can imagine that it must be both exciting and emotional. Thank you for sharing with us, and best wishes for this new chapter! 💗🙏🏼
Totally agree. This was a great video. Just real life, transitions, hope. Maybe my favorite video of yours, although I subscribed originally to learn along with you about how to make the most of my 50s from a skincare and beauty standpoint. Don’t desert us, Angie! Let’s do our 60s, 70s and 80s together! Embrace your new life and let us follow along.
I am so happy for your decision to move! it’s amazing how many single women there are in this country but they are strong, independent and determined to be happy for the rest of their lives! good going Angie you’re a great role model for all of us!
Thank you so much for this video. My husband passed away 3 years ago and I needed something to finally motivate me to go through and get rid of 40 years of possessions so I could move on. You have really inspired me. It will be difficult ,since I am alone and older than you, but I think I’m ready. Thanks again❤️
Set a timer..15 or 30 minutes/day or multiple segments of the day & just focus on one box or area at a time. Keep going, one day at a time & don’t wait to put things for giveaway in your car. Drop as much ASAP each go around. Once you get going it’ll energize you & motivate you to keep on. Best to you!
I understand the overwhelm. My mom passed in October. Going through her stuff has been a huge project. I'm going to start going through my own attic since we've lived in the same house for over 30 years. I don't want my kids to have to have the "wtf did mom keep this" conversations.
So sorry you lost your mom Ann. It has to be hard going through her stuff... I keep telling my daughters they'll thank me later for doing this big purge now!
I just finished reading “they left us everything” by Plum Johnson. She recounts her process of cleaning up her childhood home after her Mom passed away. It’s such a touching, yet light story that made me rethink about what “to leave” for my daughter to go through when my day comes.... totally recommend
Congrats Angie! We just sold our house and moved to a small rental while we build our new home. It’s been stressful but will be worth it! So happy for you!!! 💖💖💖
Oh my gosh…when I got Divorced 6 years ago I had to do all the house maintenance and learn as I go. I have an acre with an older home with constant fixing. Happy for you on your new home!
I never remember seeing you so happy and almost giddy, I’m sure your future move is the reason, so it must be the right thing to do! I want to wish you big congratulations on the new house, I’m sure you will make it a beautiful home. Can’t wait to tour this house and garden and then the new place, so much excitement! Hugs, Senior diva 🤗
Congratulations! I've lived in a townhouse in a condo community for years. I love it! I have no desire to spend my non-working hours mowing grass, shoveling snow, weeding, etc. If I'm spending time outside, it's going to be relaxing! Good Luck!
I’m so glad I watched your video today! I am moving to Florida, I, too, am a single mom, I have 3 grown children, and lots of stuff to go through and get rid of. Thank you for your encouragement, thinking about all of this stuff & what to do with it...it is overwhelming! I appreciate your excitement, and sadness at the same time. Looking forward to seeing your new home!
Congratulations, it’s going to be an exciting new chapter. Always hard to say goodbye to the home where you spent 25 mainly happy years but you will take the memories with you. Yes, please, I would love to see vlogs on the whole moving process. Best of luck with everything
I would love to see videos on your move. I find them so interesting. We moved 4 years ago, after retiring, and it was exhausting but exciting. About a year ago I started going through the whole house and purging again. This time I thought about how no one wants our stuff. I think I’m going to do it again in a year or so. Good luck on the move, it’s so exciting.
I’ve watched u for a long time. There’s a definite sparkle in your eyes and enthusiasm Backing out of my driveway for the last time was definitely bittersweet. I now know the meaning.
Congratulations Angie!!! I’ve been watching your videos for years and feel so happy for you! I’m still in the same home post-divorce (24 years here this year), and feel the same pull to downsize and modernize- looking forward to your blogs! Thank you for sharing a bit of your personal life- sending you good energy and blessings for a seamless move and life change. 💙
Angie, I love how you talk like I’m sitting there!! Your videos make me feel so happy- I’ve been feeling so old and you made me realize I don’t have to just be content to age. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
I highly recommend the moving box label stickers from amazon. Sticking them on alternate corners so they wrap around makes them easy to see from any angle. They are also color coded so you can tell which box goes where from a distance. Good luck!
Every 5 years I pretend we are moving and clean and stage my house. That way I only have stuff that serves me and the other stuff gets passed on. House gets the deep cleaned and those little projects finally get completed.
I did the tree change 5 years ago... from a flat in the city to 3 acres in the country... it took me 4 years of renovated and finished just before the pandemic lockdown... everytime I get on my ride-on mower I thank my lucky stars I can see sky... The clean out after 20 years was huge... I dumped most of my stuff to the Salvation Army depot... they even came and took the big stuff away for free... Good Luck Angie... once you get settled you will not know yourself...
Oh, Angie, I can just "feel" everything you say you're going through now. I, too, after 20 years left a home in VA where my husband and I raised 3 kids, twin daughters and a son, big yard, and an 80" dog! We were divorced, and for 2 years I lived there alone, as daughters were off to college, before I decided I needed to move and change my life and change from transitional tradition to modern contemporary. My son, still in high school, helped me get through the tears, fatigue, my job, and the big move. On top of all that, my Dad died at 100, (my Mom years before), and I had to sell their home of 20+years in TX, and deal with all their furniture and things. It is overwhelming and like you, I chose to move into a new place with all interior new things that I too, had to select. I spent hours pouring over ideas with NO sleep. I so get it. And the final farewell was hard but even more difficult on my son.......... But new horizons bring new joys and you are on your way!! Just stay focused like you always do, with a gorgeous smile and delightful attitude that you so generously share with all your fans........just like me who tune into see what Angie has going and I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, Yes!, share the moving experience!!!!! I so wish I had "known" you, LOL, when I was in it, years ago. But we'd all love to hear about it now, and you have so many fans with whom to share the ups and downs! You'll feel a million hugs along the way!
I’m SO INTO the vlog of the vintage home you’re leaving …and the packing/getting ready/ transition thang. Huzzah!! Best of luck to you in this huge life change
We moved from a house of 23 years and I was absolutely overwhelmed with all of the work! I had my husband's help, so I cannot imagine doing all of that by myself. My heart goes out to you. And congratulations on getting your house sold! BTW - our landfill accepts paint for recycling. Maybe yours does too?
Nope, no recycling of paint here... you have to do the dry out thing & put the cans in the trash. They'll take oil based & other hazardous waste 1 day a year only...
Congrats on your move! I’m going through 50+ years of stuff. My parents are now gone and I have found letters an phots when my father served in Vietnam. Also a hidden compartment in their closet with coins. It’s amazing how much stuff there is. It’s making me want to purge my own home.
I’m moving too and we’ve been in our house 8 years. I can’t believe how much stuff we needed to purge! I can’t imagine if we lived here any longer. Good luck with your move, Angie!
My dog helped me get through moving to a different house after my divorce after 30+ years together. Love on those puppies!❤️ Give yourself time. Good luck! Safe travels.
Oh Angie! We moved 3 years ago as empty nesters after raising our kids in the last house for 15 years. It took a lot of cleaning out and 10 days of cleaning before the reality photos, but it all worked out and we are so happy now! We moved to a much smaller new home/yard and have lawn and snow service as well as sprinkers! You will really love it! Before we left, I walked through the empty house a few times to say goodbye and it really helped me. You will be ok! Good luck with your move and hang it there! Please show us your old and new homes and moving. Thanks!
Congratulations on the move and such a momentous change! Yes please on the vlogs. Any cleaning/moving/organization videos are always so inspiring (and appreciated) to get me motivated to do the same, lol.
We just bought a condo in FL last fall, right before the investors moved in. Its a second home now, but when my hubby retires in 7 years, it will be more permanent. I currently live there in Fall and Spring and it's become my happy place. My best friend lives there, as well as friends that introduced me to my hubby so it was easy to slip into the community. Plus the condo is a small community and I already know more people there than after living in Phoenix for 20 years!
Tammy I had no idea your home was in Buffalo lol.. I'm one of your followers and I'm from Buffalo. If you don't mind me asking what part of Buffalo were you living in.
When we moved out of our house where we raised kids for 15 years, we hired a company that took unwanted, old stuff away. We told them we needed them for one load ....We had five. ..I feel your pain!!
I moved to California when I was 19. My parents came to visit from New York and said, we are moving. Dads life was so hard with commuting in snow and keeping the four bedroom house and pool winterized. I remember helping them get rid of stuff! So hard for a couple that grew up during the depression. Home is where family is close. I am so glad my daughter and grandchildren are close. My parents are passed but I was so glad they moved near me. I visit my friends in New York every year and we always go to Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. I love the beauty of that drive. Looking forward to this year! Congratulations!
YES!!!!! Would LOVE for you to vlog your present home, your new home, You move, etc.... ! Vlog it all! Congratulations on your new beginnings, your new home.
Yes! We would 💕 love you to vlog your move! Do whatever is easiest for you. I wish we could help you in some way. It’s so hard to move when you are on your own. Take care and congratulations on your new home!
“Why didn’t I start sooner”….the question I asked myself when I moved from a house to a condo….never been so tired in my life but I love the condo and don’t miss all the yard work and exterior maintenance. Congratulations to you…a new adventure!
I would LOVE to see your beautiful house! Anything about this new adventure you're OK with sharing would be awesome. Congrats on your new home and YAY for being brave enough to do this for yourself :)
Honestly interested in seeing ALL aspects of the move! The packing, the unpacking, the new house tour, all the decorating, and decor hauls! But of course you deserve a break after a big move So excited for you!!
Holy Moly! How nice to think so fondly of your home and have such wonderful memories of it! I just said goodbye to my 22nd group of students at the end of this school year and luckily, have always shed a few tears at the end of every year... I always tell the children, "How lucky I am, to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" ... isn't it so true!? Thank you for sharing your good news with us! You'll have to go through the house and take pictures of every part... every inch you loved so well... make a little photo book for yourself. Best wishes to you!
Thanks for the kitty litter in the old paint tip. Big help for me. Getting rid of paints, old gardening chemicals and old electronics is such a major hardship. It’s so true that no one want people’s old furniture anymore too. Dior color match is spot on. Wish the luminous makeups were a lot less luminous. THE ILLIA MASCARA IS FANTASTIC ON YOU.
Congratulations on the move! We have to sell our house within the next 5 years, so I felt like you were speaking to me with starting the prep early 😂 I'd love to follow along with the move through vlogs!
congratulations Angie, i know how you feeling, i'm moving to Florida next week, from New York, and is really exhausted, i'm tired of winter also, I need a change, I just got divorced after 25 years is gonna be a big change in my life, and a big challenge, but i'm positive my daughters lives in Florida so I will be closer to them, I love and enjoy your videos ♥️
I cannot imagine what you're going through, Angie. You are loved. I started crying at the end when you teared up. Moving is so emotional. Especially since you imagined you'd live there forever. I pray that this move works out well for you and that you end up loving your new place. Peace be with you.
So happy for you in this new chapter of your life! I loved your stream of consciousness! You had me laughing! I would love to hear more stories from you. And would love to go along with you on your move- can't wait to see the new house. Keep us in the loop. :)
Congratulations on your new place! I LOVE that your old house was built in 1831 ! That’s exciting to me as I love antique houses! Would love to see a tour of both houses!♥️♥️♥️
Oh girl, I totally understand that moving exhaustion!😅 We just moved after 17 years in our house....the purging and packing and preparing to sell, the renovations, unpacking, setting up a new home....yep, you'll need to take a month off when its all done!🥱😴 But it sounds like the end result is going to be wonderful so hang in there! And I totally agree with you on the two Tula products...I tested both and did not understand the hype and rave reviews at all!
I L❤️VE Dior Forever foundation it’s been my fav for years and even more so since they upgraded the line with new colors and formulation choices. Always looks so good!!!
Congrats Angie, it’s difficult to leave a home after so long, I know I moved after my husband passed and Kids grown. It was a new adventure for me yet heartbroken all the same. Best of luck and many blessings to you.
I'm so excited for you Angie and I feel for you as you are going through this time of transition....you are right... it's a BIG deal... would love for you to continue to share as this new stage of life unfolds for you... I know that there is a lot of other women out there doing the same thing...as always, thank you for your honesty and your willingness to "put yourself out there"....we appreciate you. xxx :)
Thank you for giving us the quality videos while going through the stressful life changing event of moving!!!! Wow that goes to show how dedicated you are to your job. Congratulations
I've heard that moving is considered a maturational life crisis. Listen to what your body, mind & soul needs. If you need a vacation to chill afterwards, take it. If you need to pause your videos or reduce the biweekly, do so. Much of life is holding joy in one hand & sadness in the other, while learning to be present with both. Best wishes on this newest life chapter.
Vlog the move, and use us for your therapy. You've had a tough couple of years. The cool thing about new beginnings is that you can pick out all the things that YOU like - from dinner to couches to paint color. No need to compromise! Enjoy the adventure!
Congratulations!! That’s so exciting! I would love any content on the move. We’ve lived in our house for 30 years, and my husband wants to move to a condo. I’m not ready yet, but I think it’s because I’ll have to deal with ALL THE STUFF! 😬 I’m healthy now, but I know anything can happen and it wouldn’t be fair to leave the mess to my daughter. I think many of your subscribers are in the same boat, so I think sharing the process would be helpful. 💕
I can’t believe our stories are the same! We arrived in Cali today, after last week selling our house our house in Maryland that we lived in for 25 yrs! Lol. Both of our sons moved to California for new jobs & they both have children. We want to be near our children & Grandchildren. So we arrived today after driving across the country with a 9 mo old puppy! 🤣
I am a California native. You must be liberals. You can have the state, the crappy destructive politics and the high taxes. You will feel right at home with the sanctuary state policy and the defund the police movement. The crime rate is sky high.... The inmates run the asylum here. ALL of my friends have moved and we are all decades long natives.... You kids must be raging liberals. Sorry this is wear they chose to live but I am sure they feel right at home. I have been here for 64 years. I have lived in both Southern and Northern. Bay Area native. Good luck.
@@suzannenelson919 never “presume” in politics. We are Republicans. And we are moving there to be near our children & grandchildren. My husband & I will make the most of this beautiful state, despite the frustrations of it. Our children & Grands mean more to us than where to live.
Congratulations Angie! I sold my house of 18 years in Dec...wow, was it a lot of work! I too would love to see your two hundred year old house...and your new place.
I heard large corporations are buying up entire developments and multiple houses, causing the prices to skyrocket. They plan to take them off the market and use as rentals, depriving young couples of the opportunity to get on the property ladder to build family wealth.
@@selectiveoutrage6617 Yes, they said invester buying has been going crazy and you are right, then they make the homes rentals. Changing a lot of neighborhoods
Good luck Angie. I feel emotional just listening to you. I have been in my house 31 years, 16 years post divorce. My daughter is finishing up nursing school next year, then it will probably be time to move also. I have kept things from piling up but it will still be a huge job . I wish you great happiness in your new home. Time for new memories. 💜
I love a chatty video with you Angie, it’s like we’re just hanging out together & playing with makeup while we have a catchup and a coffee. (Can you tell I’ve been in lockdown for over a year??)
Congratulations on your big move! I would love to see your move journey, please share. I’m a silent fan and really enjoy your videos on makeup, skincare and clothing. I am so happy for your move and shedding lots of unnecessary burden. Come on down to the south, I’m in Charlotte,NC from living all over and love it here. (from Detroit, lived in Los Angeles, Phoenix, big Island HI, South Carolina and now Charlotte) Please share your new house, current house and move😀❤️
Congratulations! Such an exciting time! I’m overwhelmed by all of the products out there. Would love to find an entire regimen that is a kit. Would you please consider doing a video of sample/travel size kits for anti-aging skin care regimens?
We are doing the big downsize too. We live on a lake but we are getting older and downsizing is for the best but my heart hurts. Giving up lots of treasures. I feel your excitement and your since of loss.
Angie, I could see your eyes filling with tears. It’s natural that you are grieving the meaning of that home to the story of your family. You are smart to Take the time you need to honor that. Sending you love and strength to enter this new chapter of your life. Thank you for being willing to share this.

Angie, I needed this video. I am a single mom and went back to college to finish my degree when my husband abruptly left. I have an only child and he starts college in the fall. He will be moving to a new place. I graduate in December. When you said the world is your oyster...I almost cried. I have to get out of this house.

I think you are one of the few bloggers who say "big news" and talk about big personal fun news and not about "buy my new product". Thanks for all your videos!
I thought the same thing!!
Yes!!! And she didn’t wait till the end! I love that!
Haha true ! Refreshing 😍
P yo.
So true, some channels are more like QVC.
Congrats Angie 💕
Yes Angie!!! Blog about the move and show us all details about your new house! Also, I think you do deserve a week off during the move for sure but if you want to make videos I always love your chatty make up get ready videos where you talk about your life. Unlike me, who kind of bears it all, you are a mystery woman and we always love to hear more about you personally and your life. Congratulations on all of the wonderful changes in your life!

Congratulations on your new home! Would love to see a vlog/blog on your move if you have the time to do so.
Enjoyed this video, I sure wish I apply makeup as nicely as you, lol. That eyeshadow palette is pretty!
I totally agree!😊
I’m TRYING to prepare to move. It’s bittersweet! Raised two children and lost a husband in my home. I can definitely relate.
Yes please, blog your move and transition. I am at the same stage of life as you, and am so impressed with your positivity. Any hints and tips you have about moving and coping are MUCH appreciated. I too have a large historic house which I LOVE, but is soo big to take care of on my own. Thank you so much for being real and honest. 🌸
Leaving my house with all my memories is so sad but I'm excited about a new beginning!
Sold our historial home last fall, still have storage units full of things. We downsized.
The best advice from you? Start clearing out now! We aren’t moving but have 42 years of clutter, sentimental items, and things we just enjoy. Plus junk! I would LOVE to see your 200 year old house and a vlog about your move, your unpacking, the choices you make and why. Take us long on your journey. And best of luck!
Thanks for giving me specifics on what you want to see! My friend does a "throw out 1 item a week" routine with no plans to move or deadline and over the past year she's done so much!
Scandinavian Death Purging
@@AngieHotandFlashy I am starting to do the same thing! When I see something don’t really want to keep I throw it into a donate pile. Not so intimidating. Thanks for the tips.
The other key thing is, after living someplace for so long, you have to reframe why you are keeping things. Truly, kids do not want your old stuff. Your sentimental stuff is only sentimental to you. Goodwill was throwing away 60% of what they were taking in during the pandemic so even charities are trashing things. It's such a disposable world right now. Sad but true.
15 minutes a day
When you leave the house for the last time, go through the house, every area, and (it sounds crazy but stick with me) express your love and *gratitude* for all the life and love it sheltered within those rooms. You will feel complete on leaving and the house will have that vibe of a warm loving home for its new family.
What great advice!☺️
Love this!!
Beautiful advice!❤
I have always done this- especially when my kids were young & we'd move. After the house was empty, Wwe would go into every room & sit in the middle & talk about the memories we enjoyed in that room, etc. It was great closure & helped us move on without being sad...
❤️
Would you consider doing an eyeshadow look for “small hooded eyes”? What would be the best colors to use to make them look bigger & awake??
Especially for “tired small hooded eyes”!💕💕💕
Risa does Makeup has great videos on that.
I know Angie has also done some hooded eye videos - I have hooded eyes- that's how I found Angie 6+ years ago ♥️
Blogging about the move will help others planning to move in the future. Things you wish you had done, what not to do, don't forget about (fill in the blank), do this before that, etc. What a hassle driving back and forth to your new condo to get things done all these months.
Really liking “chatty Angie”. 😊 Congrats on the 🏡 - looking forward to the tour.
Thanks Lizzy! I was concerned the video was too long & TMI!!
I'm so glad you gave away the big news because I was having stress on it even though I could tell it was good news 😁 now I can just enjoy the video
Going to have to agree. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Kind of bummed that we're not going to be neighbors anymore!
I can relate after moving from my Maryland home of 20+ years to Florida. 🌴☀️ 💗 I started at least 4 years prior to the move discarding a TON of stuff and still brought too much with me! I think you will love your new found freedom! Congratulations!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Love the video Angie, Thanks!
Angie, so happy for you! I have to admit, I started to tear up at the end of your video when you said how sad it will be to lock the door for the last time and drive off. But this is a new chapter in you life so enjoy the journey!!!
I’m so excited for you! I think I can say on behalf of everyone that we’ll be happy for less vids if it means you can get settled in your new place. Congratulations, you deserve it ❤️❤️
Thanks Reva!!
Absolutely!
Awww, I loved this video, Angie! I always appreciate your combination of polished, professional and real, but this one made me feel like I was sitting in a girlfriend’s bathroom while she was getting ready. The spontaneous stream-of-consciousness was so genuine and honest. It was great to hear what you’ve been up to, and I can imagine that it must be both exciting and emotional. Thank you for sharing with us, and best wishes for this new chapter! 💗🙏🏼
Totally agree. This was a great video. Just real life, transitions, hope. Maybe my favorite video of yours, although I subscribed originally to learn along with you about how to make the most of my 50s from a skincare and beauty standpoint. Don’t desert us, Angie! Let’s do our 60s, 70s and 80s together! Embrace your new life and let us follow along.
I am so happy for your decision to move! it’s amazing how many single women there are in this country but they are strong, independent and determined to be happy for the rest of their lives! good going Angie you’re a great role model for all of us!
Thank you so much for this video. My husband passed away 3 years ago and I needed something to finally motivate me to go through and get rid of 40 years of possessions so I could move on. You have really inspired me. It will be difficult ,since I am alone and older than you, but I think I’m ready. Thanks again❤️
Start you can do it
Set a timer..15 or 30 minutes/day or multiple segments of the day & just focus on one box or area at a time. Keep going, one day at a time & don’t wait to put things for giveaway in your car. Drop as much ASAP each go around. Once you get going it’ll energize you & motivate you to keep on. Best to you!
I understand the overwhelm. My mom passed in October. Going through her stuff has been a huge project. I'm going to start going through my own attic since we've lived in the same house for over 30 years. I don't want my kids to have to have the "wtf did mom keep this" conversations.
So sorry you lost your mom Ann. It has to be hard going through her stuff... I keep telling my daughters they'll thank me later for doing this big purge now!
Yes , yes been there.
I just finished reading “they left us everything” by Plum Johnson. She recounts her process of cleaning up her childhood home after her Mom passed away. It’s such a touching, yet light story that made me rethink about what “to leave” for my daughter to go through when my day comes.... totally recommend
Sorry for your loss… God comfort you during this sad time. 🙏🏻
Congrats Angie! We just sold our house and moved to a small rental while we build our new home. It’s been stressful but will be worth it! So happy for you!!! 💖💖💖
Oh my gosh…when I got Divorced 6 years ago I had to do all the house maintenance and learn as I go. I have an acre with an older home with constant fixing. Happy for you on your new home!
I never remember seeing you so happy and almost giddy, I’m sure your future move is the reason, so it must be the right thing to do! I want to wish you big congratulations on the new house, I’m sure you will make it a beautiful home. Can’t wait to tour this house and garden and then the new place, so much excitement! Hugs, Senior diva 🤗
Congratulations! I've lived in a townhouse in a condo community for years. I love it! I have no desire to spend my non-working hours mowing grass, shoveling snow, weeding, etc. If I'm spending time outside, it's going to be relaxing! Good Luck!
Vlog the move! I'm in the midst of a downsize as well and I know how much work it is.
Congratulations!!! Deep breaths!!! Moving is A LOT!!!! Can’t wait for your garden and house tours!!! ❤️
I’m so glad I watched your video today! I am moving to Florida, I, too, am a single mom, I have 3 grown children, and lots of stuff to go through and get rid of. Thank you for your encouragement, thinking about all of this stuff & what to do with it...it is overwhelming! I appreciate your excitement, and sadness at the same time. Looking forward to seeing your new home!
This was like having coffee with a friend. So excited for your new adventure!!! Congrats.
Congratulations, it’s going to be an exciting new chapter. Always hard to say goodbye to the home where you spent 25 mainly happy years but you will take the memories with you.
Yes, please, I would love to see vlogs on the whole moving process. Best of luck with everything
I would love to see videos on your move. I find them so interesting. We moved 4 years ago, after retiring, and it was exhausting but exciting. About a year ago I started going through the whole house and purging again. This time I thought about how no one wants our stuff. I think I’m going to do it again in a year or so. Good luck on the move, it’s so exciting.
I’ve watched u for a long time. There’s a definite sparkle in your eyes and enthusiasm Backing out of my driveway for the last time was definitely bittersweet. I now know the meaning.
Congratulations Angie!!! I’ve been watching your videos for years and feel so happy for you! I’m still in the same home post-divorce (24 years here this year), and feel the same pull to downsize and modernize- looking forward to your blogs! Thank you for sharing a bit of your personal life- sending you good energy and blessings for a seamless move and life change. 💙
Angie, I love how you talk like I’m sitting there!! Your videos make me feel so happy- I’ve been feeling so old and you made me realize I don’t have to just be content to age. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Congrats! Your willingness to embrace change is inspiring! It’s easy to get “stuck” after major life changes! 😊
I highly recommend the moving box label stickers from amazon. Sticking them on alternate corners so they wrap around makes them easy to see from any angle. They are also color coded so you can tell which box goes where from a distance. Good luck!
Great tip!!
Every 5 years I pretend we are moving and clean and stage my house. That way I only have stuff that serves me and the other stuff gets passed on. House gets the deep cleaned and those little projects finally get completed.
What a wise thing to do! Thank you for sharing,!
Great idea! But it does require discipline...
What a great idea!
ok ur my hero… lol wish i was that motivated!!!!
This is great. I can't imagine not getting rid of clutter every year. I don't keep anything. You are very smart!
I did the tree change 5 years ago... from a flat in the city to 3 acres in the country... it took me 4 years of renovated and finished just before the pandemic lockdown... everytime I get on my ride-on mower I thank my lucky stars I can see sky... The clean out after 20 years was huge... I dumped most of my stuff to the Salvation Army depot... they even came and took the big stuff away for free... Good Luck Angie... once you get settled you will not know yourself...
Oh, Angie, I can just "feel" everything you say you're going through now. I, too, after 20 years left a home in VA where my husband and I raised 3 kids, twin daughters and a son, big yard, and an 80" dog! We were divorced, and for 2 years I lived there alone, as daughters were off to college, before I decided I needed to move and change my life and change from transitional tradition to modern contemporary. My son, still in high school, helped me get through the tears, fatigue, my job, and the big move. On top of all that, my Dad died at 100, (my Mom years before), and I had to sell their home of 20+years in TX, and deal with all their furniture and things. It is overwhelming and like you, I chose to move into a new place with all interior new things that I too, had to select. I spent hours pouring over ideas with NO sleep. I so get it. And the final farewell was hard but even more difficult on my son.......... But new horizons bring new joys and you are on your way!! Just stay focused like you always do, with a gorgeous smile and delightful attitude that you so generously share with all your fans........just like me who tune into see what Angie has going and I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, Yes!, share the moving experience!!!!! I so wish I had "known" you, LOL, when I was in it, years ago. But we'd all love to hear about it now, and you have so many fans with whom to share the ups and downs! You'll feel a million hugs along the way!
I’m SO INTO the vlog of the vintage home you’re leaving …and the packing/getting ready/ transition thang. Huzzah!! Best of luck to you in this huge life change
We moved from a house of 23 years and I was absolutely overwhelmed with all of the work! I had my husband's help, so I cannot imagine doing all of that by myself. My heart goes out to you. And congratulations on getting your house sold! BTW - our landfill accepts paint for recycling. Maybe yours does too?
Nope, no recycling of paint here... you have to do the dry out thing & put the cans in the trash. They'll take oil based & other hazardous waste 1 day a year only...
@@AngieHotandFlashy Ugh. That's awful!
In CA, partially used paint cans can be dropped off at many paint retail stores as part of the CalRecycle program.
Responsible disposal for it should be nationwide. Pains me to hear her say it was thrown out in the general trash :(
Congrats on your move! I’m going through 50+ years of stuff. My parents are now gone and I have found letters an phots when my father served in Vietnam. Also a hidden compartment in their closet with coins. It’s amazing how much stuff there is. It’s making me want to purge my own home.
I’m moving too and we’ve been in our house 8 years. I can’t believe how much stuff we needed to purge! I can’t imagine if we lived here any longer. Good luck with your move, Angie!
Congratulations Angie!!! So happy for you. I have lived in my house 30 years and wanting to move so I would love to see you film moving videos.
Yep, loved how rambling you were! Very down to earth and approachable.
Oh Angie, you are living the life I want to live! I'd love to see some vlogging videos during your move.
So happy you want to see some vlogs around the move!!
My dog helped me get through moving to a different house after my divorce after 30+ years together. Love on those puppies!❤️ Give yourself time. Good luck! Safe travels.
Oh Angie! We moved 3 years ago as empty nesters after raising our kids in the last house for 15 years. It took a lot of cleaning out and 10 days of cleaning before the reality photos, but it all worked out and we are so happy now! We moved to a much smaller new home/yard and have lawn and snow service as well as sprinkers! You will really love it! Before we left, I walked through the empty house a few times to say goodbye and it really helped me. You will be ok! Good luck with your move and hang it there! Please show us your old and new homes and moving. Thanks!
Please vlog on the move! I'm divorced too, and need to move and it's overwhelming! Would love any tips!
Anyone else thought Angie was gonna announce her new skincare line? 😀
Same
Congratulations on the move and such a momentous change! Yes please on the vlogs. Any cleaning/moving/organization videos are always so inspiring (and appreciated) to get me motivated to do the same, lol.
As a realtor, I’m dying for the house videos! Imagining you as a client - I bet you were so fun to house shop with!
We just bought a condo in FL last fall, right before the investors moved in. Its a second home now, but when my hubby retires in 7 years, it will be more permanent. I currently live there in Fall and Spring and it's become my happy place. My best friend lives there, as well as friends that introduced me to my hubby so it was easy to slip into the community. Plus the condo is a small community and I already know more people there than after living in Phoenix for 20 years!
Congratulations Angie! We just sold our home in Buffalo… it is SO much work … same here…25 years of stuff!
Enjoying your home tour, apartment life video so much fun to see your life moving on. Inspirational!
CMT ❤️, much love to you too! Watch this morning! It’s funny how many changes around! 🍀🤩❤️
Hi Tammy...have been watching your move as well! Thanks for sharing. You’re both encouraging me...told my husband it’s a sign 😉
Tammy did you move any of your furniture?
Tammy I had no idea your home was in Buffalo lol.. I'm one of your followers and I'm from Buffalo. If you don't mind me asking what part of Buffalo were you living in.
You will feel so liberated when you don’t have so much to take care of by yourself. Stressful but really worth it
When we moved out of our house where we raised kids for 15 years, we hired a company that took unwanted, old stuff away. We told them we needed them for one load ....We had five. ..I feel your pain!!
I moved to California when I was 19. My parents came to visit from New York and said, we are moving. Dads life was so hard with commuting in snow and keeping the four bedroom house and pool winterized. I remember helping them get rid of stuff! So hard for a couple that grew up during the depression. Home is where family is close. I am so glad my daughter and grandchildren are close. My parents are passed but I was so glad they moved near me. I visit my friends in New York every year and we always go to Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. I love the beauty of that drive. Looking forward to this year! Congratulations!
YES!!!!! Would LOVE for you to vlog your present home, your new home, You move, etc.... ! Vlog it all! Congratulations on your new beginnings, your new home.
Would love a vlog on your journey. I’m starting the process after 27 years in my home and it is overwhelming. Your tips and tricks really help.
Yes! We would 💕 love you to vlog your move! Do whatever is easiest for you. I wish we could help you in some way. It’s so hard to move when you are on your own. Take care and congratulations on your new home!
“Why didn’t I start sooner”….the question I asked myself when I moved from a house to a condo….never been so tired in my life but I love the condo and don’t miss all the yard work
and exterior maintenance. Congratulations to you…a new adventure!
My biggest deal breaker is fragrance in make up
I really love IT COSMETICS because no fragrance and great coverage too !
Yes! Would love to see a blog of your move and the whole process!
I would LOVE to see your beautiful house! Anything about this new adventure you're OK with sharing would be awesome. Congrats on your new home and YAY for being brave enough to do this for yourself :)
I think you will love condo living! It’s so much less work and perfect for singles and empty nesters.
Honestly interested in seeing ALL aspects of the move! The packing, the unpacking, the new house tour, all the decorating, and decor hauls! But of course you deserve a break after a big move
So excited for you!!
Holy Moly! How nice to think so fondly of your home and have such wonderful memories of it! I just said goodbye to my 22nd group of students at the end of this school year and luckily, have always shed a few tears at the end of every year... I always tell the children, "How lucky I am, to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" ... isn't it so true!? Thank you for sharing your good news with us! You'll have to go through the house and take pictures of every part... every inch you loved so well... make a little photo book for yourself. Best wishes to you!
Thanks for the kitty litter in the old paint tip. Big help for me. Getting rid of paints, old gardening chemicals and old electronics is such a major hardship. It’s so true that no one want people’s old furniture anymore too. Dior color match is spot on. Wish the luminous makeups were a lot less luminous. THE ILLIA MASCARA IS FANTASTIC ON YOU.
Congratulations on the move! We have to sell our house within the next 5 years, so I felt like you were speaking to me with starting the prep early 😂 I'd love to follow along with the move through vlogs!
Loved this video. Made me smile and chuckle. The snow blower story was great. You have a terrific personality. Here's to exciting times ahead!
congratulations Angie, i know how you feeling, i'm moving to Florida next week, from New York, and is really exhausted, i'm tired of winter also, I need a change, I just got divorced after 25 years is gonna be a big change in my life, and a big challenge, but i'm positive my daughters lives in Florida so I will be closer to them, I love and enjoy your videos ♥️
Yes!!! Please vlog the move -- want to see your sold house and your new one and all the renovations you've done! How exciting! Congratulations! 💖
I cannot imagine what you're going through, Angie. You are loved. I started crying at the end when you teared up. Moving is so emotional. Especially since you imagined you'd live there forever. I pray that this move works out well for you and that you end up loving your new place. Peace be with you.
I’d love to see your move and how you redesigned your new place!
Your house is so gorgeous (from what you’ve shown)! I understand how difficult it is to leave a home with so many memories.
So happy for you in this new chapter of your life! I loved your stream of consciousness! You had me laughing! I would love to hear more stories from you. And would love to go along with you on your move- can't wait to see the new house. Keep us in the loop. :)
Congratulations on your new place! I LOVE that your old house was built in 1831 ! That’s exciting to me as I love antique houses!
Would love to see a tour of both houses!♥️♥️♥️
Oh girl, I totally understand that moving exhaustion!😅 We just moved after 17 years in our house....the purging and packing and preparing to sell, the renovations, unpacking, setting up a new home....yep, you'll need to take a month off when its all done!🥱😴 But it sounds like the end result is going to be wonderful so hang in there! And I totally agree with you on the two Tula products...I tested both and did not understand the hype and rave reviews at all!
I’m so excited for you! My daughter and I are going through all of our stuff too. God bless you!
I for one am interested in watching someone else ghet ready for a move, how things work, etc. And good luck on moving to a new home!
Hugs Angie. Change is hard, even a good change. So please remember to be tender with yourself.
I L❤️VE Dior Forever foundation it’s been my fav for years and even more so since they upgraded the line with new colors and formulation choices. Always looks so good!!!
Congrats Angie, it’s difficult to leave a home after so long, I know I moved after my husband passed and Kids grown. It was a new adventure for me yet heartbroken all the same. Best of luck and many blessings to you.
I'm so excited for you Angie and I feel for you as you are going through this time of transition....you are right... it's a BIG deal... would love for you to continue to share as this new stage of life unfolds for you... I know that there is a lot of other women out there doing the same thing...as always, thank you for your honesty and your willingness to "put yourself out there"....we appreciate you. xxx :)
Thank you for giving us the quality videos while going through the stressful life changing event of moving!!!! Wow that goes to show how dedicated you are to your job. Congratulations
Love it, "why do they make everything so hard to read" my issue on all makeup etc...
I've heard that moving is considered a maturational life crisis. Listen to what your body, mind & soul needs. If you need a vacation to chill afterwards, take it. If you need to pause your videos or reduce the biweekly, do so. Much of life is holding joy in one hand & sadness in the other, while learning to be present with both. Best wishes on this newest life chapter.
Vlog the move, and use us for your therapy. You've had a tough couple of years. The cool thing about new beginnings is that you can pick out all the things that YOU like - from dinner to couches to paint color. No need to compromise! Enjoy the adventure!
Congratulations!! That’s so exciting! I would love any content on the move. We’ve lived in our house for 30 years, and my husband wants to move to a condo. I’m not ready yet, but I think it’s because I’ll have to deal with ALL THE STUFF! 😬 I’m healthy now, but I know anything can happen and it wouldn’t be fair to leave the mess to my daughter. I think many of your subscribers are in the same boat, so I think sharing the process would be helpful. 💕
I can’t believe our stories are the same! We arrived in Cali today, after last week selling our house our house in Maryland that we lived in for 25 yrs! Lol. Both of our sons moved to California for new jobs & they both have children. We want to be near our children & Grandchildren. So we arrived today after driving across the country with a 9 mo old puppy! 🤣
I am a California native. You must be liberals. You can have the state, the crappy destructive politics and the high taxes. You will feel right at home with the sanctuary state policy and the defund the police movement. The crime rate is sky high.... The inmates run the asylum here. ALL of my friends have moved and we are all decades long natives.... You kids must be raging liberals. Sorry this is wear they chose to live but I am sure they feel right at home. I have been here for 64 years. I have lived in both Southern and Northern. Bay Area native. Good luck.
My choice would not be to move to Cali.
@@suzannenelson919 never “presume” in politics. We are Republicans. And we are moving there to be near our children & grandchildren. My husband & I will make the most of this beautiful state, despite the frustrations of it. Our children & Grands mean more to us than where to live.
Congratulations Angie! I sold my house of 18 years in Dec...wow, was it a lot of work! I too would love to see your two hundred year old house...and your new place.
Congratulations! Yes, please vlog the move and do house tours❤️
Congratulations, Angie! Please take us along on your moving journey.
You couldn’t have sold your house at a better time, the market is crazy hot!
Yes, but buying is whole different story.
@@PattiFinn So true
I heard large corporations are buying up entire developments and multiple houses, causing the prices to skyrocket. They plan to take them off the market and use as rentals, depriving young couples of the opportunity to get on the property ladder to build family wealth.
@@selectiveoutrage6617 Yes, they said invester buying has been going crazy and you are right, then they make the homes rentals. Changing a lot of neighborhoods
I love the spontaneous flow of this video Angie, and I’m so happy you sold your home! This is exciting!
Good luck Angie. I feel emotional just listening to you. I have been in my house 31 years, 16 years post divorce. My daughter is finishing up nursing school next year, then it will probably be time to move also. I have kept things from piling up but it will still be a huge job . I wish you great happiness in your new home. Time for new memories. 💜
I love a chatty video with you Angie, it’s like we’re just hanging out together & playing with makeup while we have a catchup and a coffee. (Can you tell I’ve been in lockdown for over a year??)
Congratulations on your big move! I would love to see your move journey, please share. I’m a silent fan and really enjoy your videos on makeup, skincare and clothing. I am so happy for your move and shedding lots of unnecessary burden. Come on down to the south, I’m in Charlotte,NC from living all over and love it here. (from Detroit, lived in Los Angeles, Phoenix, big Island HI, South Carolina and now Charlotte) Please share your new house, current house and move😀❤️
Yes, definitely vlog the move =) I love older homes, so much character.
Sorry to hear about your divorce, Angie. I wish you much happiness and blessings in your new life 🙏and healing comfort
Congratulations! Such an exciting time! I’m overwhelmed by all of the products out there. Would love to find an entire regimen that is a kit. Would you please consider doing a video of sample/travel size kits for anti-aging skin care regimens?
We are doing the big downsize too. We live on a lake but we are getting older and downsizing is for the best but my heart hurts. Giving up lots of treasures. I feel your excitement and your since of loss.
Congrats on the new home and move and finishing the renos! I am glad you will be close to family and friends. I can't wait to see your new house.
