Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰🥰awww you’re so sweet to mention me🙈🙈🙈 My word of the year is “unstoppable” 🤓🤣😋 Wow “owning my own time” I love that! And that is so very true that you need to make sure that your cup is full That way you can be at 100% for your family🥰🥰🥰
Omg I had a super mean comment the other day, and I was shocked at how unbothered I was by it!! 😃 However, because it was also a derogatory comment towards others, I did block them from my channel.. I took screenshots because it was so shocking, but I was able to let the incident go almost immediately and I felt like hey I am growing as a person because it literally gave me no anxiety, no distress and I was super happy with my reaction 😊🙏🏼👏🏻
Every once in a while I have a human moment and clap back. Mostly, I just delete or block. Some people feel entitled to say any old thing. I'm glad you've reached the point of being unbothered. So freeing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Everything you touched on resonates with me. I had to stop watching the news because it's always one terrible thing after another. I can't remember the last time I saw a nice uplifting story on there. And taking care of yourself is absolutely important. I always think of the flight attendants giving their spiel about "put your oxygen mask on first before helping others". 😂 I too am trying to focus on quality over quantity because I have waaay too much stuff which is starting to become overwhelming and cause anxiety. So my word for 2025 is Organization. I plan on going through every room and every drawer and only keeping things I use and love. I think that in itself will bring me some peace! 🤣Ohhh speaking of which, I finally smelled the scent of peace (green stravaganza 🤗) and I totally agree with you. That is how I would picture peace to smell, LOL. I've told Jaime about how great she is at responding to comments and I want to tell you too, especially considering the size of your fragrance channel, that it really is commendable the amount of comments you respond to! So thank you for interacting with us and making our time on your channel enjoyable! ❤❤ Ok, last two things and I'll end my novel here. Did you see the Wicked tumblers Starbucks came out with in November? They were so cute I wish I would've gotten one. And lastly, I feel the need to tell you about these AMAZING sheets I got from QVC. They are called Berkshire Velvetsoft sheets and OMG when I say you won't want to get out of bed I kid you not! My husband said I needed to order another set so when the first set was in the laundry we'd have a spare to put on. 🤣🤣
The news is depressing. It's literally designed to raise anxiety and other stressful emotions. I can't deal with it. Good for you for cutting it out. Thank you for your kind comment! I appreciate that viewers comment and share. I'll continue to acknowledge and reply as long as my time allows. I love my viewers!! I will have to check out those sheets! They sound DREAMY! Thanks for sharing. 💖
Love this time with you!!! It feels so special. Also yes please make a video about your dreams because girl, I FEEL YOU on the crazy dreams thing-I have some crazy ones too!!! Now to finish this video 🥰 🥰
Girrrrrl, I have been going to bed at around 8pm, sometimes even a bit earlier and it is such a good feeling! Welcome to the club, sister! ❤ It is simply good for your body.. I usually read a book and it relaxes me and prepares me for good sleep, then I do a gratitude before sleep exercise, do a double exhale method to relax me even more and then off to sleep 😊 Also, workouts especially as you get older - heck yes! You are right about that - high animal proteins, low or no carbs and moderate healthy fats. I feel soooo good eating 4 eggs every day + workouts. I am honestly so happy,hearing you set your new standards and being kind to yourself ❤❤❤ Martina
Wow, there is so much to say about all of this, and it all really resonated with me. You have learned so much, because most people don’t get this wisdom until they are much older than yourself. This past year I decided to stop hosting the big family holiday dinners. I want my kids to finally understand that the amount of work involved is getting too much for me, as we have a large family. I am now 71, but my kids all seem to think I am still young, and not aging. I told my oldest daughter that I just wanted to go to one of their homes, and I would help them, but not have to host the whole thing, )due to the work of shopping, preparing food, cleaning etc etc). Older daughter then invited me to her home, and I was relieved. But THEN, my middle child couldn’t go that day, and said that her son (my 4 year old grandson) was going to be so disappointed if he didn’t get to see us, so guess what? I ended up hosting Christmas Eve day. THEN, husband’s daughter and her sons could only come Christmas Day, and had nowhere else to go, so I felt obligated to host them too! So, I went from not wanting to host at all, to hosting TWO days! It got worse, not better😄 I am defintely slowing down, and it takes much longer to do what I used to easily accomplish, and now, there is literally pain involved! This year I will have to make my “no”, be a no! I love them very much, but my body is telling me to slow down! I could say so much about everything you said, but shall spare you an epistle! I admire your wisdom very much! I wish everyone were like you, and the world would be so much more PEACEFUL. My mom used to tell me “You don’t have to say everything that comes into your head”, and wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone could grasp that concept? The internet is exactly the opposite. People just hurl everything that pops into their brains, with no consideration of how it effects anyone else.
Thank you, Karen! 💖🥰 Oh boy! Don't I resemble your comment! I've been you - twisting myself into a pretzel to host everyone. 😵💫😒😆 I make concessions for people I really want to spend time with (which I know applies to your holiday scenarios!). I agree with your mom. It's okay to keep some thoughts to ourselves. I'm working on it. Except on this channel where I get to share all my deep thoughts with lovely humans like YOU! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. Hugs! 🥰💖🥰💖
Same here, for some of the same reasons , I’m in that transitional age (50) and stage in my life where my personal comfort is at a higher priority. I’m usually always putting others first , even if it means compromising my own peace and confort. I don’t do that anymore. I don’t let that bother me, like it used to. 💯
Yes Veronica, having accountability for ourselves and how we can either breath life or death upon who we love and care about. The scary part that I'm seeing the older I get is...people/family...almost dismissing or ignoring their words or actions and going about their daily life. Unfortunately it's just life and being dismissed bc you're the kind one is horrid! I am learning at 41 that I have to protect my peace, also. ❤
I love the way you touched on personal accountability here! This mindset feels rare in our day. Working so hard to teach my son a proper view of accountability while he is still young.
Dear Veronica, I am 53 and I agree to all you are saying. Thank you so much for sharing all this. All the best for you and greetings from Germany ❤! Anja
Wow! My 1st Essential Veronica😊. I'm close in age to you. I've been safely lifting weights (compound lifting) and eating 1gram of protein per ideal body weight in lbs for 10 years. And I do treadmill sprints once a week. Also, that habit led me to good sleep skills. Pretty much like yours. Prepping for bed at 8, in bed around 9 and rising between 5 & 6am. It was a true delight to hear you share wisdom. Thank you!
Hi Veronica 👋 Loved this chat & I feel similar about many of these things. I got so burnt out at work from the past few years, I'm really trying, especially this year, to put my health and wellbeing first and as a top priority. Trying to take it as easy as I can, whilst meeting life commitments. I really appreciate you, and our time together ☕️☕️🫂❤️🌹 Lots of Love, Fi xx ❤️🥝👋
Hey girl hey! 🥰 Breakfast time! ☕️❤️✨ I really enjoyed Jamie's video too, and yes I love the word standards instead of resolutions 🥰 Omg the hair crawl!! Just dealt with that yesterday, it was going on a journey across my shoulders 😅😂😂 Wait, coffee doesn't count towards our water count?? Hahahah just kidding, it gives me major heartburn too and I've considered switching... 🤔😱 My sleep is soooo much better since being on HRT, progesterone is a dream come true.. literally! 😆😁
Hiiii friend! Girl, you KNOW the hair struggles! It's got its own personality 😆 I wish coffee counted toward our fluid intake. Wouldn't that be great??? I am loving my HRT and can't believe I was scared of it. Total GAME CHANGER! 💯💯💯
Yes please,make a video about dreams! I have had my fair share of bizzarre dreams over the years 😂 I have had one specific dream for years and years and one time I wanted to tell my sister about it. I started describing it in details, very particular events going on in it and she finished my sentence with describing her dream that was basically identical. Kinda creepy, not gonna lie, but since then, I have started thinking about dreams more and I think we are all connected tightly, family members even more. We share our energies, thoughts all the time, it's just that many of us are not aware of that. So yes, I love hearing your thoughts on various topics 😊❤
Hey Veronica ’m enjoying this chat so much. I also tried to record my goals video and stopped it because it wasn’t right and my mind wasn’t focused. I will try it again tonight or tomorrow
Veronica, if you want to expand your feel good channels collection, may I suggest Cecilia Blomdahl? A girl living on Svalbard, spreading a positive vibe while showing us her life in North. For me, it is magical. She hooked me on that and I have visited the place two years ago - life changing 😊❤ Martina
I love flannel sheets too but my husband can't handle them, he runs hot! Lol 😅 We've been sleeping on grounding sheets, the ones you plug into the grounding part of the outlet.. and I'm definitely sleeping deeper, but I don't like the fabric. 🫤 I've been back on the treadmill a bit more, and upping my protein, but I really need to start up with the weights too!! Maybe today! 🏋️
@ If you search for grounding sheets, there are so many available, but you'll start getting endless ads for them unfortunately 😅😂 but I've read a bit about the science behind them and it seems to make sense, as way to ground ourselves to the earth.. electrons and all that jazz 😂😂
Hey friend!🙋🏻♀️🥰🥰🥰🥰awww you’re so sweet to mention me🙈🙈🙈
My word of the year is “unstoppable” 🤓🤣😋
Wow “owning my own time” I love that!
And that is so very true that you need to make sure that your cup is full That way you can be at 100% for your family🥰🥰🥰
So glad you liked the video. 🥰 It's so important to be able to give to our loved ones without feeling depleted. 👌🏼 I love "unstoppable!"

As always, it's been lovely to hang out with you my friend, I'm on my second coffee now.. I'll have to get some extra water in later! 😉
You’re the best! I love these coffee-fueled chats. 🥰 Thank you for sticking through the whole video!

Awww I feel like you are family! Big hugs! 💖💖💖

I'm so glad to hear you've found that space for yourself. 🙌 We deserve our own attention and care! 💖💖💖

Yes, protect your peace. We cannot control what others do or don't do. We can only control ourselves. 💖💖💖
I love the way you touched on personal accountability here! This mindset feels rare in our day. Working so hard to teach my son a proper view of accountability while he is still young.
Good job, mom! 💖🥰 It's important that we teach our kids to be mindful of how they affect others (and how others affect them!).
Dear Veronica,
I am 53 and I agree to all you are saying. Thank you so much for sharing all this. All the best for you and greetings from Germany ❤! Anja
Thank you so much, Anja! All the best back to you! 🥰💖🥰💖
I love this! Wonderful food for thought and will certainly be implementing some of these in 2025 and thereafter ❤
I’m so glad you found it helpful! 💖 Thank you! 🥰

Thank you, Allison! Welcome to the channel and the chaotic content! 🤣 Good for you - stick to those practices and routines! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love the ending. I’ve been craving silence lately because there’s always so much noise. Great video 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you, Liz! Silence is like a form of meditation and mindfulness. 🥰🥰🥰 A way to slow things down.
You are so insightful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Katherine! Glad you enjoyed it! 💖🥰💖🥰

Hey girl hey! 🥰 Breakfast time! ☕️❤️✨ I really enjoyed Jamie's video too, and yes I love the word standards instead of resolutions 🥰
Omg the hair crawl!! Just dealt with that yesterday, it was going on a journey across my shoulders 😅😂😂
Wait, coffee doesn't count towards our water count?? Hahahah just kidding, it gives me major heartburn too and I've considered switching... 🤔😱
My sleep is soooo much better since being on HRT, progesterone is a dream come true.. literally! 😆😁
I’m on cyclical progesterone and let me tell you… I look forward to the 12 days of the month when I’m on them 💤
Hiiii friend! Girl, you KNOW the hair struggles! It's got its own personality 😆 I wish coffee counted toward our fluid intake. Wouldn't that be great???
I am loving my HRT and can't believe I was scared of it. Total GAME CHANGER! 💯💯💯
Yes, Barbara! I look forward to the 12 days also! 🎉🎉🎉
@@essentialveronica I take my progesterone every night, but I've heard of people doing it on a cycle, I think I like the nightly fix!! 😂🤣
I'm jealous! 😆 Maybe my provider will switch me to every day once the monthly visitor stops returning. I'm getting close! 😂
Beautiful presentation of such great, resonating, reminders to reflect on as we move thru 2025 ❤
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Yes please,make a video about dreams! I have had my fair share of bizzarre dreams over the years 😂 I have had one specific dream for years and years and one time I wanted to tell my sister about it.

Wow! That is super creepy but also FASCINATING! I agree about the connections and energy. Amazing stuff! 😯😯😯
Happy new year Veronica. All the best for the year ahead. Setting standards is certainly a better idea than resolutions❤
Hiiii Cee! Happy New Year to you too! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 💖🥰
The whisper 😂😂😂
I feel the same thing about quality as well
🤣🤣🤣 Yes, quality matters.
The standards are spot on!👏👏👏
Thank youuuuu! 🥰🥰🥰
This video was very soothing.
Thank youuuuu!! 💖💖💖
Hey Veronica ’m enjoying this chat so much. I also tried to record my goals video and stopped it because it wasn’t right and my mind wasn’t focused. I will try it again tonight or tomorrow
I hope you do film it! I'd love to hear your goals.
Oh my goodness, I’m trying to get away from coffee too. I’ve been trying to drink more green tea matcha
I'm trying. I love my coffee in the morning though. ☕️
All I saw was Carlton dancing with Tom Jones when you started singing 😂
You already know that I had the dance in my head while I was singing! 🤣
Love the Horae!

Wait! What are grounding sheets?! I must look this up! Good for you for staying on top of your protein and treadmill! 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖
