If there are, she doesn’t know about it.

Jen is a Prude. There’s no way she’s agreeing to that.

princess:

Great thread title. Brush twice daily with an electric toothbrush and floss once a day. I recently started using a water pick.

is there such thing as a period routine?

pads? tampons?

backup is going to love this convo

It did still amaze me how much stuff she got in her suitcases AND stayed under 50 pounds.

yes we can delete them all

I can name the next one ILoveJenRoss and only allow positive comments

Those comments on her SM are so out of line. What do people get out of doing that?!?

OT: but it’s Target (Day After) Tuesday here.

Our entire patio/summer section is on clearance and they are getting ready to put Back to School stuff out. On June 30. When school has barely been out 1 month and doesn’t start until Mid August. Why the rush????????

I have thought about starting a YouTube channel many times. I live in a small, decluttered house and have a personal philosophy about organization to share. I wanted to focus on how to make a small house fun and easy to organize. For example, my house does not have a pantry, linen closet, garage, coat closet, family room, kitchen island or playroom - just standard small rooms. I want to share how I manage that. The width of the primary bedroom barely fits a queen bed and two small nightstands. No room for a dresser or comfy reading corner. No walk in closet either. All the closets are about the size of a single wide filing cabinet - typical of an older home. Again, I want to show how I make that work. I love my house for what it is. It is always tidy and easy to clean. Everyone who lives here can easily find things and put them away. It is completely paid for. It’s in a desirable location. I’m next to a park with walking trails. My house gives off a very calm vibe. I am not complaining or wishing for something bigger. I have a good sense of humor and I think I could make that come across on YouTube.

Needless to say, I simply don’t understand how Jen was accepted by her viewers as an organizing expert when obviously she’s not.


Awww…I love everyone’s supportive comments. From my “real” job, I have a pretty thick skin, but I don’t know if I could take a lot of negative comments - or heaven forbid, snark - about something so personal as my home. That holds me back.
The other thing that holds me back is I recently had cancer, gained weight from the boatload of steroids I’m still on and lost every single hair on my body because of chemotherapy. (You don’t realize how important nose hair is until it’s gone!) I have a lot of permanent hair loss and my self confidence about my appearance and who I am has taken a hit. Even a year post-chemo, I have no eyebrows or eyelashes. I have very thin hair on my head with major bald spots. I’ve gotten used to wearing wigs, but it’s hard to master fake eyebrows (yes, they make those out of human hair) and fake eyelashes. I had very thick hair and my stylist used to remark about how fast it grew. Ha! I don’t miss the underarm or leg hair, but the person I see in the mirror is not me. PLEASE know that I am not looking for sympathy - not at all. After chemo, surgery, radiation and immunotherapy during a pandemic, my prognosis is excellent. Those treatments did what they are supposed to do. I have a supportive family and friends. I am getting stronger - mentally and physically - every day. I just can’t face a camera. Maybe a YouTube channel where I don’t show my face?
If anyone else is in the HER2+ club and wants to chat, DM me.
Again, thanks for letting me know you’d watch my channel if/when I start one.
