Interesting feedback thank you!

I just skip ahead. But you're so right. This generally cuts down the viewing time by at least 20 minutes.

Um it’s been Christmas and sales …. It’s her job ! Gosh people be reasonable

Not sure what You are resenting..i f Josie indeed uses various beauty approaches I am not alone in actually wondering" how does this work..how dexterous must I be..and how long to see results etc ..and You can skip ahead if You aren't into Beauty..and enjoy Her ever changing Garden..her hopes and realities..and prep time to.make it into edible delights...or maybe its her ever perfectly annotated Travels..I am ALWAYS wanting to know how One gets the glow and watches her figure and laps up the local specialitues..Josie is masterful at it all...that is WHY SHE HAS SO.MANY SATISFIED FOLLOWERS/ SUBSCRIBERS!!!

@@bethcaswell9670 Why are you attacking people giving constructive feedback? You are being incredibly rude.

You can always tell what she really enjoys or not (whether it be an advert or no) ; she nods or shakes her head when speaking.

just skip that bit?

@@silviaodlerart I do want to know about the products, I'm just suggesting that the segments can be summarized a bit more

@@silviaodlerartyou can. I do quite often. Which sometimes means there’s not much left to watch…

I whole heartedly second this ❤

The length may well be required by the brand, but your feedback is fair. A lot of the time I don’t need that much detail and it comes across like one of those shopping channels on tv.

That sounds so lovely!

Oh YES, this for me is MAJOR 👏👏👏

If it bugs you so much, just skip it. One tiny little click. Everyone is capable of that. I think she does her ads really well though. Very often, I will even watch the ones I am not interested in right through, as she makes them so interesting and entertaining. I actually quite like her adverts.

Seems like it to me too… I don’t want to be too objective since she earns a living out of it but I have decided to give the influencer content a break till the time she starts posting the things I enjoy watching her do… her gardening, her summer gatherings etc

Hello Catherine. From one older viewer to another. Agree with you.

Me too, we have seen all the beauty tricks over the years I'm sure!! 😉

Hi Catherine … same here too!🥰

Hello Catherine! I'm an older viewer as well and I feel the same. Josie always produces quality content. Plus I love her two doggos!

@@amyariffin Ha ha. Yes Amy. We cannot forget the doggos!

Definitely! And I’ll always disclose my brand partners and sponsored sections!

She is paid every time you use her codes.

@@LiseMoniqueFunk Not always the case. Sometimes brands will give you a discount code without a kick back. I’ve done a few collabs like that on my SM

@@LiseMoniqueFunk Yes, that's what I've always heard from those from the Beauty-related content creators. They all state that their affiliate codes will give them a small kick-back to assist their Channel. What's the point supporting a brand and promoting it when not receiving remuneration?

Yes it is; you legally have to declare it (although so many still don’t!) / if the entire video is an AD then you have to put AD in the title, but if there’s just a small segment, you have to disclose this in the description ❤

@@LiseMoniqueFunk no I’m not 🙈

Yes, I think so too. "overgroomed"

@Claire Evans I'm also in the same age group and have been very careful when it comes to my skincare. I do prefer to use products from one brand to have them work in harmony. I just bought a new system prior to Christmas and not making any judgements until I use these items for this six week period. Our skin needs to adjust to these new products before we can decide whether there has been any significant changes.💖

@Claire Evans Anything we go through medically does have a big impact on our skin. I was very ill over the last year and a half, yet not in your league, which has caused me to loose a significant amount of weight that I couldn't afford to loose. Although clothes can cover up one's body to an extent, my face still appears drawn and gaunt - to myself anyway. I have a great skincare range from the Dead Sea, another by a top facial Plastic Surgeon plus another based on collagen. When I noticed that YSL had a 'plumping moisturiser' I had to try it. I did purchase the range of products during the Sales and using them now, although I had tried sample sizes of three of the five products first. I'm not making any judgements as I've only been using them for just over a week. I do hope your chemo is over and successful. Looking ones best goes along way in making us feel better within ourselves. In Australia, our Cancer Council runs a program called Look Good, Feel Better, although this could possibly be worldwide. It's a terrific idea to teach how to use wigs, put on make-up in a manner that enhances your features whilst not making one look worse and other tips to build up the patient psychologically. It is strictly only for those who are suffering from cancer but I would love to organise something like this for everyone in the regional town I live in. Despite not being able to put on any body fat, (I'll spare you the details), I've managed to build myself up by excercise alone and primarily staying with a high protein/high energy diet. When hospitalised the year prior to last, my thighs were able to almost fit between the thumbs and forefingers of my hands. I had a nurse help me into bed, due to also suffering a thrice broken arm and she could see how little there was of me. Her first words were "your so skinny", yet next came "I wish I was like that"! I replied immediately with "no you don't!!!" I'm in my early 50's, yet am having to purchase the smallest sizes available in adult clothing. I refuse to go down to children's sizing! Luckily, I've worked with fashion in both retail and manufacturing and can design an outfit to cover-up my tiny size in s stylish manner. It's my face that I've become almost obsessed with now. I do look much younger than what I am, which does help but I can't understand why anyone would wish to look so terribly unwell. This is the second time this has occurred to me, with the first time loosing so much weight that I was only 36kgs! My German Shepherd weighed 35kgs and I used her 'dress collar' as a belt and had to use braces to keep up track-pants or leggings. Both times my hair also fell out quite badly which made many think that I had cancer. With all that we go through, it's only natural to show on our skin. It's great to hear that yours is doing so well and I do hope it stays looking so well. I hear many swear by using obscenely over-priced products for their skin when all these endless products are not needed. In my mid-twenties, I went to the UK and Europe for a few months holiday during a very hot summer. I had literally only a few products to moisturise and most importantly - sunscreen. Even my make-up consisted of two shades of eye-shadow and two lipsticks. Those were the days when everything was so much simpler and minimised. I've rattled on for too long now and I'll give you a well deserved break. Best of luck with your recovery and I'll send you many positive thoughts. If my face fails to 'plump' as YSL claims, I may just ask for your help! Take care of yourself and I sincerely wish you well.💖💐

Oh yes I absolutely will!! 🤍

His what I eat in a day video shows him having a coffee in the morning

That really doesn't make sense. There are many things that come from plants that aren't good for us at all. As one who doesn't drink coffee, due to not liking the taste, it still surprises me just how much people now drink and have become addicted. Whenever I hear someone state that they need their coffee first thing in the morning to get going, there is something very wrong.💖

@@krisushi1 For some it’s just a ritual, rather than a physical dependency.

He actually said you can have up to 5 cups a day. I just love the taste of it with my added dose and Co collagen in vanilla. It’s so yummy! I can’t say I get any energy boost from it though. I can even have one before bed and it won’t keep me up. 😅

@@SK-lw9ku oooh vanilla sounds good. I’m the same. Caffeine has zero effect on me. I think I may need to abstain and gently reintroduce to get it to do it’s thing 😂

Advice is always good. Every individual is fully qualified to investigate all advice for themselves. If nobody gave advice, there would be nothing in this world to live for; no knowledge easily and freely shared, no healthy people at all, and everyone too scared to mention a word. I am grateful for her bravery in showing us her new journey.

I just don’t think I’m ready to officially part ways with it!

@@JosieIrons its so lovely i wouldnt want anyone to touch it! ha

Totally agree with Josie: an expensive bag is an investment and, just like an apartment, it brings income by renting it.

@@lauraclaudia8159 im too much of a weirdo! lol i dont share my things nicely even though that does make a LOT of sense!!

@@FrazzledVirgo No you're not! I'm exactly the same as you. I couldn't stand the thought of a perfect stranger wearing a lovely garment or using an accessory of mine when I cherish them so. I'd be in panic mode until it was returned in one piece. No matter how careful people are, accidents can still occur. I could make a fortune renting out my wardrobe/accessories/jewellery etc. but I simply can't do it as I treasure what I've collected far too much.💖

Thanks so much I’ve changed it!

It has never crossed my mind that you do ads throughout your vlogs, I love to know where you buy stuff. Those energy balls look yummy 😋 looking forward to your holiday vlogs. x

@@carolynmarshall1968That’s why the law makes influencers put in “ad” - so we understand that there is advertisement. Despite what it may seem like to the viewer. Good ads are hard to be recognised as such, therefore there are legal regulations to protect us.

@@JosieIrons: By the way, I like learning about the things you and Charlie use/do because I have similar tastes in home goods, fashion, travel, etc. In fact, my siblings and I gave my sister something from Holland Cooper for Christmas because I learned about the company from you. She was surprised and very pleased with the gift. And I have you to thank for that! Keep on "influencing", Josie - you and Charlie are great!

Can’t wait for you holiday vlogs, and I will be making those energy balls they look yummy thank you😋.

Yesss me too! Sooo needed after a hard days work xx

@@tarab3838 👍☕️☺️

Me too ☕️🫖😁

I usually just put my mug on the Aga to keep it warm or reheat! ❤

Oooh love the idea of that!

Ooh I never thought to use it for that!

Hi question on the pigmentation, would you use it on your face?? I have a darker upper lip

@@stephaniewaight2752 yes, I have been using it on my face and decollage for a couple of years intermittently, with great success. Just be careful to not direct the light at your eyes and start off on a low setting and work up.

Health

I've been on the ZOE waitlist for a long time too, guess I'm not influential enough for one.

In Canada, we have our version of the NHS . My A1C blood sugar level put me right on the line for type 2 diabetes. My GP provided a ‘ script for the testing strips , but the monitor itself is at no cost. I pay into a benefit plan monthly- on pension now and feel must purchase so its in the budget- so the ‘script is mostly covered but I pay a small added fee.. Diabetes has such wide ranging effects on health. Gov’t health care should be helping its citizens look after themselves - these bg monitors are a great example .

@@julietetlours Charlie’s been on it for over a year! Hopefully it’s worth the wait!

😂😂😂

IH I AM right there with U !! Cannot stand sugar coffee BUT I DARE U to pry the COOKIES/CAKE/PASTRY out of muh hands !!! So true .. sad .. but true 😆

That sounds perfect!!

Probably Elizabeth Arden Notably Nude ❤

@@JosieIrons thank you
