Hello Jeannie! I am so glad you are feeling better! I have been a subscriber for ages but this is my first ever comment. It made me so happy to hear about your mum and I am so excited for her! Sending much love from Germany xx
I’m an Older Person’s Mental Health Nurse in England and I just wanted to say it’s lovely to hear you speak about your Mum. Dementia is so cruel. Wishing you both all the best xx
It’s absolutely wonderful hearing your mom is doing well in the care facility. Even more wonderful she is still with you. My mom passed 6 years ago, I was 47. Your openness about your life and thoughts and feelings about it are truly a gift to us all. These trips down memory lane are so satisfying. Thank you Jeannie 💕
I really needed to hear that wise counsel in the beginning thank you for reminding me what my priorities are and what I’m working towards. It isn’t for temporary things or to have the new materialistic purchase but something that lasts, because none of that will help me in an emergency
Such an important message today about conscious consumerism. Thank you for this 🩵🙏 You’re so right about the need to buy less and consume less things. This is a mindful approach that is beneficial for our mind and wellbeing, for our pockets and savings and for the future and sustainability of our planet. It's ultimately about consuming less, while making sure that what we do consume is sustainable products that are long-lasting and either reusable or made from recyclable and bio-based materials. And only buy things that you really need or make you happy
Thank you! Absolutely loved this 1950’s book. You’re right about consumerism. I can remember what my parents did because it went clear into the 1960s very very interesting. So glad you did it. These books were excellent that you purchased thank you. You’re so kind. I’m glad you’re feeling well and I’m really glad to hear how your mom is doing so wonderful That she’s happy and thriving. That’s a blessing for sure. Love Esme. Have a great summer!!!! Stay cool!!!!Jeannie You certainly deserve it.💛🌻💛
Your mums home sounds wonderful.. I work as a memory therapy worker in the uk and have the privilege of providing cognitive stimulation therapy to people living with dementia.. and I love the lessons I learn from everyone I support.. their determination and positivity inspires me daily.. love to you and your mum 💕
I really enjoy these retro videos from all the different decades. My late mother was a teenager in the 1950’s,and said it was the best decade of her life especially with the music and times with her friends. The cars back then looked cool and in some respects better than today’s modern cars even though they lacked the safety. Sadly, both my parents are gone now and I miss talking to them about the times they grew up.
Thank you for all your time and effort in these videos. I have to watch one every night before I head off to sleep. So relaxing ❤️ Glad you’re feeling better. Sending lots of love from New Zealand x
I watched the whole video, just in a few days span. I love watching these videos of down memory lane & you adding in your stories! I'm glad your mom is doing well.
i usually stay awake for the duration of these blast from the past videos! i find them so interesting i can’t look away- and the bonus is that it’s super relaxing 😌
An hour and a half? Heck yes!!!😂 . Thanks for another great video Jeannie. Glad to hear your mom is thriving in her care home. I lost my grandmother last year. She had dementia and you are right, it does not get better unfortunately. My grandmother forgot a lot of things towards the end but she never forgot me 😢. She grew up in the late 40’s and 50’s and always told me about life in the 50’s and how much she loved and missed that era.
Love hearing about your fun antidotes about living in the bay area/california area! Been living here my whole life and gets me so excited when people share the same/similar memories even if yours are from 50 years earlier:)
Awwww Jeannie!!!! You are so lovely! I absolutely love your channel ! ❤️ Also, even tho she doesn't live close to you, you are so lucky to have your mom still here! I lost both my parents in my 20s when they were in their 50s. I'd give anything for them to be here with us even one more day... Cherish your parents everyone! You never know when they will be gone!
Hi Jeannie! So glad you are feeling better! You look beautiful..love the lighter summery hair on you. Also glad to here mom is doing well in her facility and has adapted to her suroundings. I was so happy to see this notification for another ad for a new decade! I love these ❤
Hi Donna! Thanks so much! The sun and pool water are doing a number on my hair! I'm not lightening it at all...I'm thinking I may need to add some lowlights to bring down some of that brightness! Hope you enjoy the long blah, blah, blah! XOX
I fell asleep listening to this last night but wanted to stay awake lol so I watched the second half of it again now, love these videos can’t wait for the next one! ☺️
I live in the Placerville area. I was drifting off when I started hearing you talk about my hometown. That’s so crazy! It’s beautiful here, glad your parents enjoy it.
1:20:15 It is so funny, Jeannie. When I heard you say "the inflation calculator," I quickly opened a different tab on my PC to look for one, clicked on the one I liked the most within a few seconds, and when I went back to the video, it turned out I found the exact same one you are using on your phone. 😃
I loved this! The 50’s feel like the most wholesome whimsical decade. All your memories the ads bring you back to-hearing this is so relaxing to my soul. It took me two nights to get through it because the first night I was fighting to stay awake 😊 I will never get tired of going down memory lane. Thanks Jeannie!
I love you jeannie❤️you should do a video about fashion styles it will be nice to hear stories about your life and what was your favourite style from 40s 50s or 60s❤❤❤
Yay, thank you, dear Cristina! We’re in the midst of this hurricane now and hoping we don’t lose power! It’s flickering on and off, so it’s not too hopeful! Glad I got the video uploaded when I did. 🤗
I love how eccentric cars were in the 1950s. It looks like every manufacturer was trying their hardest to blur the lines between automobiles and spacecraft😄
your pink cup reminded me of lorri latte, who is always drinking her coffee in her videos!! i'm so happy to know that your mom is doing well and healthy, that's wonderful! my great-grandmother didn't adapt very well in the nursing facility and her last years of life were very, very difficult, not only for her but for us as well. in addition to all the problems that come with age, dementia is truly the most heartbreaking one, so I deeply wish you peace of mind.
@@gabifgt Lorri is a dear friend, I’m happy to say! Thanks for sharing the kind words! I’m also very grateful that my mom is so happy! I’m sorry about the rough time you had with your great-grandmother. It can be so dicey, this growing old thing.
Hi Jeannie, So happy you posted thank you. So glad your Mom is doing as well as can be and hope you are feeling better too. Stay safe during that hurricane near you. Love this for relaxing asmr content before bed. Thank you sweet Jeannie🤗
@15:00 GREAT advice! Frugality does seem to be a fringe dying breed. Reminded me of a Socrates line: *“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.”* Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little. So let us not seek more, rather learn to get by with less. Ok I will climb down from my pulpit now. : D
A wonderful video, the perfect pages and voice and I love your natural nails. So much prettier than colored polish which is distracting from the pages. And yes, crazy how they could claim cigarettes were safe.
2:07 i use to watch happy days even though it was before my time 😂 i loved the intro: Sunday Monday happy days, Tuesday Wednesday happy days Thursday Friday happy days Saturday what a day Rockin' all week for you!
yesss! i love these! i think we had one of these somewhere but i can't find it for the life of me, such a shame. i love the sentiment that you hold of your mom, I'm happy she's doing okay. you do carry who she was with you and you always will I'm sure. i got a tattoo of a design my uncle did before he succumbed to alcoholism, back when i was little, and i feel similar as well - happy to remember him as the artist he used to be and not as the sick man that he died as. I'm happy to hear you and your mom are doing well. the story of your grandma is very interesting. i had a friend whose mom was like that - a lot if older people are similar to that here because of the impact of the soviet union.
My parents were in their 40s when they had me 45 years ago as an oopsie baby. They both grew up dirt floor poor (most don't realize being dirt poor comes from having dirt floors). We grew, raised, and bartered for almost all of our food because cash was seen as a luxury. Banks weren't to be trusted & everything was to be used until it couldn't be used for anything else. Note paper got wrote on 4 ways (write & turn 90 degrees, repeat until it was all used up & then it was toilet paper). Foil was washed, flattened, and saved for next time. Same with newspapers, rubber bands, grocery sacks, etc. Nothing was single use because that's just a waste of money. Cleaners and soaps were made. I still have that mentality and it got reinforced from being homeless. I partake in convenience items but only buy on sale. Folks don't understand how little we really need to live and do it happily.
Hey Jeannie! Glad to hear you're feeling better. As usual, your stories/openings are so interesting that it's hard to fall asleep on you! Lol... I'm happy for this 90-minute video, cuz I just got a new mattress (I'm saving my money now that that's out the way) and I can doze off to your voice. Goodnight! 🥰🥰
Hi Jeannie, I am a new subscriber who recently found your channel. I really enjoy watching your blast from the past videos, get ready with me, etc. You have such a lovely spirit and I watch your videos almost daily now. Thank you for the relaxing and calming discussions. I’m glad to hear you are feeling better. Take care.

Hey did you get a haircut? Looks nice! Great video, the 1950's sounded like an interesting decade, from what my dad tells me sounds dramatically different compared to what kids today do as oppose to back then especially. The old ads are pretty cool. Thanks for the ASMR!
I miss watching your mom in your videos. I remember when you picked out tomatoes from your vegetable garden. 🍅🥫❤ I’m watching Mid Mod too. You both are underrated asmrtists here in YT. Your videos are effortlessly soothing. You have the natural calm voice and aura. I like how you talk just normally, like an unintentional asmr. Those are my tingles. 🥹
Lovely video as always Jeannie. I sometimes wonder if I was alive previously in this era… the nostalgia feeling is very strong and powerful despite being born in 1996. Maybe because I was raised by my grandparents?
We actually had a TV remote like that, too, in the mid-60s(I'm 62)...my mom's 85 & she has a couple original mid-century modern pieces of furn that we had when I was little that's probably worth some $$$$
Stay safe in this weather, lady! I can't believe little old Montgomery is getting a hurricane! I am praying for no flooding, as they have not lowered the lake yet 😅
@@JeannieBASMR Jeannie, it’s the least I can do. I don’t know what I do without you. You lull me to sleep every night 🥱😴 Thank you ❤️ ps Pleased to see you have recovered after your family weddings etc. ☺️xx
@@JeannieBASMR You are a jewel, Jeanie. I grew up in Southern California and then lived in Santa Cruz, and then Mountain View (now I live in the Chicago suburbs). Whenever you talk of San Jose or other places in California, I get home sick.
I remember my dad buying a Zenith color TV set floor model back in 1968, it was considered top of the line back then. Having a color TV back in the 60 s was a big deal. My dad owned a Cadillac in the 60 s and my sister and I called it the Bat Mobile because of the fins on the back where the rear lights came out of.
Hi Jeannie -- Your channel is such a great contribution to the ASMR community, bringing soothing comfort to so many people. I just want to comment a bit on your mom's situation, as I am a geriatric psychologist (now retired) who practiced for many years with older adults in several continuing care facilities. You mention that you are a plane ride away but that you stay on top of her care, which is great. However, is there any family member living in the Sacramento area who visits her on a regular basis? I can't emphasize more strongly how much residents of continuing care communities crave family contact, especially with children and grandchildren. This is almost universally true, no matter how good the care, the activities or the food--and no matter how happy a resident may seem outwardly. The latter is especially important to note because older people are very reluctant to make their feelings about this known, not wanting to be a burden. I know grown children are working and have their own children to care for, but if you and your siblings (or other relatives) can do a rotation-type arrangement where she is visited by one family member or another, on average once a week, that would be so appreciated by her, especially if she is surrounded by other residents who have frequent family visits. Perhaps your family already has such an arrangement in place, and if so, wonderful!
I truly appreciate this and YES! We have w our family attorney, also our daughter, two exits away from her. She picks her up for lots of family events. Also another daughter and son nearby who stay in touch and visit. Plus all her friends. She talks about how busy she is but she’s so happy. In Texas, she was bored out of her skull. I appreciate your wise words!
Hi, another great video! Thankyou for doing it. My partner who is well into the 2nd World War, has read the book, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
The fifties are my dad's decade.. i stell have some photos from his family when they were kids and only my mum recognized them as a kids because mum and dad are cusions They grow up at the same hous as you mentioned no electrical things or washers and they were such a large family so there life was never easy
Hi Jeannie! Thanks for another one of my favorite videos. I should have explained earlier that when I do a timestamp, 0:00 or 10:00 for example, that’s just where the magazine flipping starts if people don’t want to listen to the first bit of the video and get straight to the good stuff. 😊 Hope you don’t mind! ❤
