    Becky, since you like Asian food, you might also shop at a local Asian market. I'm also on the West coast and we have many. It supports your local community, not just big box stores like Costco and it expands your range of food. They have LOTS of fresh noodle choices. You can make 'take out' for a fraction of the cost! ❤

    Quick tip for those hair ties to save you having to buy new ones because they stretched out!
    Just put on the kettle 2 cups of water and boil it. Add your stretched out scrunchies to a heat proof cup or bowl (cover with water completely) and pour the freshly boiled water on them. Then like magic they are no longer strechted out! Just take them out with some tongs or chopstics (they'll be warm) and leave them to dry/cool on a paper towel. Once completely cooled on their own they're all set to go!🎉

      @@tammymanuel9158 it all depends on the way the elastic was formed. They specifically make these with a polymerization technique that heats to form the curls.

    A lil tip for the propane. If you take it somewhere that actually refills the tank you already have it's sooo much cheaper than taking it somewhere where you exchange the entire tank. We go to our local Tractor Supply Co and it's a quarter of the price than any place else in our area.

    You asked what pots and pans we use. When my 55 year old son was one year old, my husband and I bought lifetime waterless stainless steel cookware. I have always done home cooking from scratch, so my pots and pans have been used a lot. I really like them, the only other pan I use is my black cast iron, love it! Just a side note, if you burn anything in the stainless, simmer baking soda for several minutes and that really helps loosen the burnt on grime. Here’s a funny for you, I have to admit, one time I burned popcorn so bad, it took me three days to get the pot clean. No way was I going to throw away my expensive pot!

They require little water and the greens are edible and delicious! The funny part of growing them is I kept finding more and more after I harvested originally because some grew deep in my garden boxes. It will be fun to see if I find more in the spring. I think you will enjoy the process. Thanks for your fun and positive tips and sharing your experiences.

    Hi Becky. As someone who suffered from dry and chapped lips for most of my twenties (I'm now 54), I'd like to tell you that I was using a minty lip balm for absolutely ages. I was then told (by a dermatologist) that you are not supposed to put anything minty on your lips as it dries them out and irritates more than most other items. Being Swedish, I moved to the UK in 1998 so could no longer buy my absolute favourite lip balm (which is Försvarets Hudsalva - if you can find it in the US, I'd recommend you buy it) but I am currently using Elizabeth Arden's 18H lip balm and also Nuxe Honey Lip Balm. I can see in this video that your lips are chapped and I also know that you made some minty lip balms for yourself (and also gifted some). Please try lip balms without any mint in them and see how you get on. X

    This 50 +old Grandma has always used Almay foundation and love it been told I still look in my upper 30's but this age is fading quickly but it's not the makeup. Almay is a good product. I use a Clinique lotion underneath my foundation. I still use the same mascara as what you picked up. It also has been my favorite. Looks like your ready for no shop January! Your dinner looked delicious too! Happy New Year!!

    That big bag of garlic is such a great deal! I want to suggest to you that you rough chop it in your food processor and then FREZZE DRY IT! So much easier than making frozen pucks, in my opinion. Freeze dried minced garlic is my favorite and most used item that I freeze dry! A game changer for quick meals.

    Two tips that will massively up your bobby pin game if you don't already know them:
    1) Put them in with the bumpy side against your head. It seems like it'll be uncomfortable, but I can't feel it at all and I have a super sensitive head.
    2) Try to always put your pins in so two (or more) form an interlocking X. You should feel the second one lock into place and hold the first one.
    I was able to eliminate bobby pins slipping out with those two tricks. I've never tried since I haven't needed to, but I also know people who swear by spaying their bobby pins with hairspray to make them non-slip!

      Good tips but alas, my super sensitive head must be more tender than yours since both of those tricks hurt me. I can only use bobby pins flat side down but mostly use snap clips alongside the spiral hair ties Becky picked up since this combo is the kindest.

    Hey Becky, in the “Notes” app on my phone I have a folder of all of the makeup products I use & their colors. Just an FYI, you can buy ANY of your products online. It’s fabulous to buy a couple of each thing & then have one in the Queue, for when you run out. I also have all of my Table Sizes listed in a folder & what size tablecloth fits each. That particular list has been a lifesaver when I come across a great deal & want to pick up a new tablecloth for entertaining. Love your content & love you 🥰 Blessings to you & your sweet little family.

    Now that you're purchasing makeup on this video, it gives me the opportunity to ask you about the organic makeup that you & your mother bought last year (I think at a homesteading conference?). I'm assuming that you're no longer using it? I've been debating on trying it, but seem to keep getting makeup from a box store. So, do you still like the organic makeup (I can't remember the brand), or do you prefer what you bought today? Thanks in advance for your input. 🙂

    The pantry challenge used to be about going through your stock and using up what stores you have to ensure older provisions were consumed before the expiration date and how long can you go. Now everyone is stocking up BEFORE the challenge to ensure they get through. All you are doing is buying your groceries 2 months ahead.
