      I used your code last month in the holiday sale and ended up with 60% off... and am so happy with it. Have been using it for about 3 weeks now and love it! So, thank you, my skin is really improving... and feels so soft and smooth... I also get red blotchiness and my skin tone is definitely evening out. Wishing you a lovely Christmas, I know it's been a tough year and I hope the New Year will be wonderful you. Thanks for the lovely videos, I enjoy them all!

      I’m so happy to hear that 🥰 the green led function is great for calming redness, I find it great after a cold walk/gardening when I have red blotchy cheeks from being outside.
      thanks for the feedback ⭐️

    As a very mixed European Irish gran and great gran, Welsh, English and Scandinavian from my mum - Polish father (Baltic too) I love the tradition of setting an extra place at the Christmas table for those who can't be there; some people say its for the Christ Child but we always said it was for my Polish grandparents who were no longer with us. Everyone here have a lovely or peaceful time over the next few weeks.

    • @DaintyDiaries

      What a beautiful tradition, filled with so much heart and connection to your heritage. Setting an extra place at the table is such a poignant way to honour loved ones who can’t be there, and it must bring such a special sense of warmth to your Christmas.
      Thank you for sharing that, and for your lovely wishes. I hope you have a peaceful and joy-filled time with your family over the holidays. Sending warm thoughts to you and yours! 🎄✨

    My husband and I have been doing DIY for over 30 years in four different houses. Please just save your money and buy quality supplies. Remember that the cheap comes out expensive in the end! Dainty, you can do tiling easily. You have great skills and tiling is one of the easier projects! ❤

    • @DaintyDiaries
      @DaintyDiaries  Месяц назад +2

      That’s such great advice! I completely agree, quality supplies really do make a difference in the long run. Tiling sounds like it could be fun - and I’m feeling more confident about it knowing it’s one of the easier projects. Thanks for the encouragement! ❤️

  • @Joy-zp5lv
    @Joy-zp5lv Месяц назад +6

    That was a nice evening with the kids - how fun! I don´t know but back in the day people just saved up to change or replace things with high quality products so they lasted a long time. And also they gave themselfs some time to think about what they want so they liked it for years to come (or forever in many cases). I think that is the way to go! Merry Christmas! 🎄

    • @DaintyDiaries
      @DaintyDiaries  Месяц назад +3

      You're absolutely right! Back in the day, people really took the time to choose things carefully, investing in quality pieces that would last for years or even generations. It’s such a thoughtful approach, and I think it’s something we can all learn from in today’s fast-paced world of instant gratification. Taking the time to truly consider what we want and invest in things that bring lasting joy feels much more fulfilling.
      Wishing you a very Merry Christmas too! 🎄 I hope you enjoy the holiday season.

    Drunk swede commenting so excuse the horrible english coming but here we go friends: I dont't know if you know, but when your christmas tree gets those light green tips in spring you can snip them which makes the tree grow fuller. This method it used when sculpting trees , bushes and whatnots. Pretty neat to do with a tree you know you'll bring back in next christmas and then plant outside.

    Hi Catherine. Love the idea of a pot grown Christmas tree! I've still to put up my artificial one bc of my kitties😬 I'm going to try a garland this year and see how it goes 😹 Your home is looking very cozy with just the tree.
    I know this year has been especially rough for you and your family with losing your mum. I lost my parents 16 years ago and it's still tough at the holidays. My dad's birthday is December 25th. Being surrounded by loving family and friends is the only way I get through it and my kitties help too 😸 I truly wish you a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Enjoy your time with family and friends and we'll see you in 2025☺️

    • @DaintyDiaries
      @DaintyDiaries  27 дней назад +1

      Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot. I'm glad you like the pot-grown Christmas tree idea! I totally get the struggle with kitties and Christmas trees-garlands are a great option to add some festive cheer without the chaos. I hope it works out well for you!
      Losing my mum has made this holiday season difficult, and I really appreciate you sharing your experience too. It sounds like having your kitties and the support of family really help. Wishing you peace, love, and comfort this Christmas, and a bright, hopeful start to the new year. Looking forward to sharing more in 2025! 🐾🎄💖

    You definitely will not have any problems with tiling as you have great wood working skills. I would advise buying a wet saw ( again you have great power saw skills).

    I think you are so right. I want to change my counters and backsplash and would love to have marble or quartz instead of the wood effect laminate I have now. However, the quotes I've had make it difficult to commit. I have bought some marble effect "tiles" from Amazon and some sticky back plastic to do a temporary fix, just to see if I like it. If I love it I may splash out, but if not I'll go back to what I have, cause I don't hate it. Merry Christmas, Sweetheart. I love seeing you and your projects. Lots of love from NW England. My Irish Daddy would have loved you. x
