I consider you a friend. I love your you tube channel. I feel connected. I'm 65 years old and although I've been hurt in past I've decided to not let that define me anymore. I know that God sees me as so much more than any pain and I want to continue this journey called life. I know true friends are hard to find and I know all about the walls I've put up to protect myself but I will continue to try to be a friend to those I meet.
Go little momma, go! You’re amazing and the fact that you’re willing to share so much of yourself with us is inspiring. I also deal with depression so I understand how it can swallow you whole. I’m in awe that you’re willing to put it all out there to show me that I’m not alone. I’m grateful for you 🌺
Hi Lynn, I am so glad you talked about friends today. I am 47 and have really been praying asking the Lord to bring some true, deep friendships into my life. I am blessed to have one wonderful friend in my life, but I get very lonley sometimes. I would really love to have some more friends, but find it very hard at this stage in life to make connections. I also am praying that my heart is open to trust peoples intentions for friendship. Sometimes, I think I put up a barrier when I initially meet people as I was severely bullied during my school years and it really affected me. I know that in order to make a friend, I need to be a friend so I am looking for opportunities to meet other ladies with similar interests in my community and I pray that the Lord will help me recognize the opportunities for friendship as they present themselves.
My husband, who has anxiety, says that anxious people are just crappy time travelers because we live in the future & not the present. I feel like that’s so true. Does your church have community groups/small groups? I met some of my closest friends being in a community group. We are like family. We have keys to each other’s homes, we make the 3 am calls when someone’s in labor, we celebrate & cry & pray together. I sincerely hope you find a community of friends like this.
I'm 54 and have 2 close friends and that is all I need. When we get older, we do have trust issues with women. I know that I can depend on my 2 closest friends no matter what; they are my encouragers and prayer warriors. Put yourself out there, Lynn, and you will find that close friend, or two, who will not let you down but will lift you up. Thank you for another amazing video; you are such an encourager to me. I hear your voice, a lot, when I am cleaning 💕💕
Same. I'm 47 and I have 1 really close female friend that I consider a sister. I have 4 who are good friends, but 1 that knows everything about me and vice versa.
I totally understand about your kitties's hair. I lost my little terrier unexpectedly over Mother's Day weekend . I still find his hair in my home. I'm not ready for it, to go either. Love and prayers to you and your family!❤🙏
We did a deep clean of the apartment and decluttered our storage locker yesterday. It feels sooo nice. I realized we don't have a lot of items stored and made me feel good. Two bins of holiday decor, two suitcases, one bin of sentimental items and our ebikes.
Oh Lynne, so many women out there are amazing friends. There are some who aren't, but if you believe people when they tell you who they are (if they gossip to you, they gossip about you kind of thing), you will be ok. You should always protect your heart with anyone new, but I hope you don't stop believing in the goodness and importance of fellow women in our lives 🤗 ETA: The ecloth for glass is life changing. I buff stainless with it, dust the chandelier, and clean my eye glasses with it. Honestly, I haven't purchased glass cleaner in more than a year. The best part is there are NO streaks!!
Finding your kitty’s hair made me so sad 😢💗 Sending you hugs! Thank you for always being genuine and real about MH. My anxiety hasn’t been great lately
I’m a 57 year introvert and friends is a really difficult thing for me. I need low maintenance friendships and sometimes women are high maintenance. So I have learned to be happy with me. I have my husband, Mom, and adult children. That’s all I really need for support. 😊
I understand about the kitty, when we had to put our dog down the vet shaved a little of his hair and put it in a bottle for us to keep. You are ALWAYS an inspiration to us all!! Have a great weekend Lynn!!!
This is Barb not Bruce . I just want to say THANK YOU LYNN WHITE! Recently I started to watch your garage cleaning video! Bruce came into the room. I jokingly said this is one for you! So he sat down and watched it in entirety! He kept saying, “I have to start cleaning the garage!” After five years of promises regarding the garage cleaning he started that very same day following the video!! It’s not finished but we are in our early 70’s and it’s HOT in Tulsa ok area where we live! Ironically, I didn’t get to finish watching your video but I am rejoicing and enjoying the results of it ie my hubby cleaning the garage!! lol Also I did hear your statements about being hurt in the past by friends. I too know that pain and rejection but the Lord is good and I now have new friends who are true friends and like minded as well. Again Lynn thank you for your sweet closing comments on each video. We live in challenging times and you bring comfort and encouragement we all need. ❤Barb D
The anxiety surrounding appointments/scheduled errands, etc. is for sure a struggle. It always was for me because my nature is very shy and reserved. In the last several years of working from home full time it has gotten worse. If I have a doctor's appointment I may reschedule it 2 or 3 times just because having to get fully dressed and leave the house gives me that anxiety.
Your kitchen remodel is so awesome! Waiting to do mine some day in the future. I'll have to have it done by a company, we aren't handy like you and your hubby. Never seen an under counter microwave before. Very neat!
Who in the world would ever give you a thumbs down!? Lol! You are incredible!! I hope you never stop doing this because I need you in my life 🥺☺️. I absolutely LOVE your content and all the msgs of encouragement you always share with us! I love how real you are... whether you're up or down, you show us everything. Thank you for just being you! 🙏🏽❤️
Girl, you are speaking my language!!! Anxiety by having something on the calendar? Yep. Anxiety when someone wants to drop by? Yep! We do get in our own way. Love how real you are 🧡🧡
I totally understand. I do struggle with the friendship thing. I would just rather stay at home and be by myself. I love your honesty with what your house looks like. Mine is driving me crazy right now. Just wondering what your shirt says. Good Mom with a -- playlist. I am guessing good but not sure.
I’m so thankful you share things on here, it honestly helps me so much! Currently been going through some hardships with friendships, this helped so much! Thank you! ❤️❤️
Norwex! Their Enviro cloth and Window cloth are incredible, cleans 99% of germs with just water. All of my windows, glass and mirrors have only ever been cleaned with water and Norwex cloths. There is no build up or residue on anything. ☺ I am able to clean my entire house with Dawn dish soap, Vinegar and water, I will also use Norwex cleaning paste which I believe would be similar to the pink stuff. Happy Cleaning!
My favorite to clean glass is to make my own with vinegar, a splash of dish soap and water 🤩 I use it to clean counters etc as well, but it is amazing on glass! I am a new viewer found you after listening on clutter bugs podcast. Looking forward to see more of your content! Love from Norway 🇳🇴
For my glass at home I use a regular microfiber towel that’s wet with water and then come behind with a dry glass cloth. I got them from amazon. It’s a just a glass and polishing towel. No chemicals just water. It’s amazing! I do love the e-cloths but they can’t be more expensive than generic ones.
Thank you, Lord, for the beautiful day you have given us. Hello Lynn, I just finished watching your video. You have such a beautiful home. Keep up the good work. Just take one day at a time. At least, that's what I do. I clean my house and pace myself. I can't clean the whole house in one day. I am retired and I maintain my home so it doesn't get too overwhelmed. Now due to body injuries, I pace myself. I would do one room at a time. May I ask what state you are located in??
Love you Lynne ❤your words of encouragement help me so much. I wish I was your real life friend. You are such a sweetheart and have such wisdom. It’s a bit far to come from Australia for coffee 😂
I don't normally spend too much on cleaning products, but I bought the Norwex towels that clean glass which is fantastic. I no longer have to use any glass cleaner. In fact I wish I could afford another set in order to have an extra one when one set is dirty because it works that well, for me, anyway.
Love you and your channel so much. I struggle with friendships too (I am 55), I've been hurt many times. Hopefully my prayers will be answered. I consider you my friend. Love from the Netherlands. ❤
OMG we got sucked into HYLA water vacuum system. So much pressure and "feeling" bad cost us $2500 🤢🤮😵💫. I hate that we opened the door that day. I hate dragging it around. I've used it 2 times in 6 months. You make me feel better.
I use e cloth cleaning cloths and polishing cloths for almost every surface in my home. Mirrors, windows, tv screens, glass table tops etc, even our car windows and interior. They really cut down on the amount of cleaners needed around the home and leave a streak free shine. I swear by them.
Lynn I have had several Dyson broom vacs & the batteries die. Plus I hate that you have to pull the trigger to run the vacuum. I got an LG broom vac at Costco with two batteries & two filters and after 3 years it’s still going. Plus the on/off switch is amazing! No more hand cramps! 😊
Girl you always have the best videos. They always seem to relate. I suffer from depression and anxiety also. And I feel like I have no one. I thank God he had me find you. ❤
Really Mrs Lynn i am gonna have to stop warching. I cant deal with the overwhelming room. I wish i could send pic of my daughter room deep clean. I love ya though. #cleanitallout
I just ended a friendship because my friend was questioning my character. I too struggle with friendships. I'm 47 and really always have. I usually only have one close friend. And right now I don't even have that. But I'm in a point in my life trying to heal from traumas in my life. And all I need is unconditional love & support. And if that isn't what I'm getting then unfortunately I need to let that friend go.
I so enjoy your videos. Having someone in my age category is refreshing , to see how we clean, with a family is enjoyable. Thank you I have trust issues with people also. I had a very dear friend that I loved so much, we were like sisters. When I needed here so didn’t have time for me, I was in the hospital giving birth to my still born son and she couldn’t be there for me she rather be at the club. I don’t let people in my space like that anymore, and it makes me really sad…
Get the e cloth for glass you will love it.I use mine for my glass and windows.I have a bloodhound so my sliding door is always full with slobber and nose prints the ecloth gets it off just with water.And to make window cleaner little bit off dawn vinegar and water in spraybottle perfect window cleaner.
Hey love😊 Get you a short bristle broom with stiff bristles, it will save your back. Great job flossy, always enjoy hangout out with you. Love & prayers your way.🙏🏻💜💜💜
I have switched all to JAWS and the Method cleaners....I don't like the window or mirror clothes they leaves streaks. I have only ever owned Shark vacuums. Love ya Ms Lynn!
I can totally relate to you. I have a lot of acquaintances but not friends. People always want me to open up, but find the ones that do, do alot of talking about other people. I'm more keep to myself and do alot of listening.
Miss Lynn, you made me cry. I needed to hear you today. I suffer from anxiety and depression. I too have been burnt by “friends”. So I don’t have any now. I’m too afraid. My last friend ; we had been friends since kindergarten and I’m 59 now, showed a really horrible side to herself last week. She called me out on fb asking me about my medication and if it was making me feel better or do I still feel down? Is your medication helping at all? Wow! That blew me away! Everyone on my fb are family and people we went to school with. So not cool I hate opening myself up only to get hurt. I know I need to pray for good people in my life. Thank you for another great video and message!! ❤❤
Meds do help, but for me, they don’t “fix” anything so I can’t continue. I’m weaning myself off all of it. I’m balancing my hormones, getting healthier, and then I’ll see what I really need.
@@mrslynnwhite they aren’t helping me either. I’m so frustrated! We lost our dad last month and it’s made it worse. I appreciate you sharing what you are doing to help. Please keep us updated! Sending you prayers 🙏❤️
Hi Lynn always good to See you, it's spring break Now if you have kids over 10yrs old make them clean also So you want be overwhelmed with work, we have to teach kids while they are young, 🧡🧡
I struggle with allowing myself to open up for friendship as well. It’s because of so much past hurt from women that I just put up walls and don’t engage. There are a few woman at my church that I truly believe are wonderful woman of God. I am trying to be more open as well because I want close friends. Because I am the same exact way if I call you a friend I have your back 110%
Your so much like me. I got major depression after my children were born. There were several things going on in my life that contributed to it but still. I agree exercise does definitely improve your mood and sets you to a good day start. One final thing I will not get into my bed until it's made. I have actually told hubby to get up while I make the bed. He thinks I'm nuts. Hahah your friend from Maryland. Hi im maura!
No judgement here! I feel good knowing other folks face the same struggles! I have 2 things left over from when I was intensely OCD - I make my bed every day (in the morning!) and I wash my feet immediately before getting into bed at night. Oh the joys of having ADHD! Glass cleaner - Greatgrandma was right - Vinegar & water! I actually live where BISSEL products are made! I can walk into the 'show room' and pick up new vacuums for pennies on the dollor! AND! BISSEL supports animals in shelters! They donate money for food and they sponsor FREE adoptions!
Hi Lynn, I have heard the ecloths are great. One you just use water and the other is a polishing cloth. I don’t personally have them but I see people that do and say they work great. I love my sprayway but totally get that it’s not for everyone 😊
I have 2 spray bottles that I refill with half and half water and white vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. That's the only thing I use in my house. Floor to ceiling and everything in between. Toilet, windows, walls, counters, everything. I don't own a microwave anymore but when I did I used it on that too. ❤
I am 70 I really don't have friends we buried my sweet cousin yesterday we use to talk weekly I will miss her deeply and my best friend lives next door she has been sick since before covid we us to have morning and evening coffee but that's stopped but we still check on each other sometimes its lonely my grandkids are at the age they don't hang with granny much and that's OK I know they love me OK that's enough for the pity party I really enjoy your videos you seem so sweet
I use Norwex cloths with water and polishing cloths on glass and mirrors. The cleanest I've ever had. I know they are expensive but they lasts for years.
Mix alcohol and water, half and half with a little dawn detergent and use a microfiber cloth to clean windows, mirrors, stainless steel, counters, etc and dry with another microfiber cloth. Dries quickly and no streaks. I use for the shower door as well. Love you shows
Great video thank you for the motivation, Lynn ❤I relate to you so much and feel motivated and happy when I watch your videos❤ 💗 thank you for all the tips and the depth you add to your videos. It's not just the cleaning but the advice and support you give to us your viewers. It feels like you're a big sister ❤ looking forward to more videos..Have a blessed day ❤
Unfortunately that laundry detergent (or at least the previous formula and most of their products) scores an “F” on the EWG for health and safety. It’s just expensive greenwashing, their products aren’t actually safer
I hate those toilet seat bolts. I’m the only one with a back that can bend! I think it is because it’s kind of upside down and backwards so I don’t automatically know which direction loosens the bolts. Takes multiple tools…and swearing 😂
I wear N95 masks while cleaning. They help with my asthma and allergies while vacuuming and dusting. It's amazing how much is collected in the vacuum and even more in the mop water! Take care of yourself, Lynn. Only YOU can take care of YOU. I understand about friendships.
👋 Lynn, I've got a great hack for that shower. I had one identical... same foggy old etc. On cleaning day I would spray it down and leave it AFTER I cleaned the rest of the bathroom. What I used on it worked amazing! And what I did at the end of the day because needed a shower would get in it and clean the whole shower and door down then I'd take my shower. (Get it) lol Clean shower... clean me. You will not have to kill yourself it basically wipes right off. House clean and beast shower cleaned. Hope this makes sense. What I used you'll need a zep or really good quality spray bottle. I buy the zep one at Lowes. Cheap ones do not work. You'll have to spend the 4 dollars lol. I take a 4 cup glass measuring cup as easy to pour in bottle or can use glass bowl put 1 and half cups of white vinegar and 1 and half cups DAWN BLUE dish soap. I mix it together then I microwave for 3 minutes then stir. Let it sit in the glass about 10 to 15 minutes cool down a bit. You'll only heat it this one time umtll make another batch. Once cooled enough I put in the spray bottle. Ready to use and stays good till empty. Bathroom was the first room I cleaned on those deep clean days once rest of bath is clean i then spray the shower and door really good then leave the room and it... for an hour, 2 or 10 hours... It does have a strong vinegar smell so that's when I leave that room till end of day. It needs to sit. The smell does dissapate.. but at least it's not toxic and cleaned way better than any chemical. Door sparkled and no deep scrubbing. Occasionally I would use the chlorox bathroom spray on the grout but I did that after the shower and I was clean and calling it a day. I had to come up with something non-toxic and this ended up working great. Less work I assure you. I do not have that shower anymore did for 6 years, but I still use that spray mixture in my kitchen sink and new bathtub. Only sits in there a few minutes and wash it clean really cuts the grime. I hope you see this and try it. Literally wipes down in minutes. Once all done can spray the bleach spray leave on 15 minutes and rinse it's done. 95 percent of this job is you out of the way. No other chemical cleaned my shower better. That's my story hope it helps. I know it's not easy I dreaded it until this hack. Blessings friend to you and yours! I'm now going to watch the video.
@@mrslynnwhite I know it was a long one, but it was the only thing that really worked for me. I knew after a couple times I couldn't take the toxins. So that's how I found this and it actually worked better than the chemicals. I still sprayed the grout in in corners or where needed take the staining etc out. But minimal compared. I feel your pain! It didn't cause pain, dread or stress after I found this hack. Iunderstand the avoidance. It's not fun! Now that you've done the hard work every week to every other week you spray a nice coat. Leave it alone till you're ready to shower. I wish I could be there to show you lol. Same window, same shower door, floor etc. I am in Florida as well Clearwater area. I've wanted to write this many times or jump through the screen. I just was not sure it would be understandable I knew would be long but it's really simple. I watched your video after I made the comment... that's where I heard you mention non-toxic solutions. I'm a sprayway glass cleaner girl as well. I still keep it around. The couple chemical cleaners I use are in the garage in a caddy. I grab use a minute then back out. I don't keep them inside. I love Jesus as well! Be blessed
