HELLO………….

I did such a GOOD JOB with my legging POST the company https://www.shopsvelte.com is back again asking me to do a VIDEO!

HA!

A video……….I can barely film my animals let alone download that to YOU TUBE and POST it on my BLOG!

So, I asked my SUPERWOMAN RENA at https://theblogging911.com for HELP and HERE WE ARE!

HYSTERICAL if YOU ask ME!

This is MY FIRST ATTEMPT at a VIDEO…………..so LAUGH ALONG WITH ME!

THE ITALIAN doesNOT have ALL DAY to listen to his wife who DIRECTS and STYLES as WE go ALONG!!!

I cannot decide which one is BETTER and since my RIGHT HAND MAN has FLOWN THE COOP for a few days(I sent him on a JET PLANE by himself!) IT would be DIFFICULT to REDO by MYSELF with my TRUSTY SELFIE WAND!

SO,I am going to have you tell me which one I should SUBMIT to THE COMPANY!They want it for their FACEBOOK page and BLOG!!!!!!!They have NO idea I am doing the UNDER GARMENT…………SURPRISE!!!!

HOPE THEY APPROVE!

However, I do LOVE this

Slim me down Tank Top 

and will be buying the BLACK one as well since WE ALL GET A 25% DISCOUNT AT CHECKOUT!!!

I think that is MIGHTY KIND of these CANADIAN FOLKS……….did you ever meet a CANADIAN you did not like?

ME NEITHER!

Do you remember this company SHOPSVELTE???

Well, I picked out the Slim cut jeans (denim) 

It has THAT TUMMY CONTROL and HUGS THOSE LEGS of MINE!

THE FABRIC IS SUPER STURDY and there is NO WAY BANKSY the GRAND PIGGY will NIP A HOLE THROUGH this FABRIC!

WHAT would YOU PICK if YOU were in the MARKET for this type of pant?

ARE YOU GAME TO GO TAKE A PEEK?

 

 

The CODE at CHECK~OUT on their site would be………Code: CONT25OFF  ( One use per customer. )

SO, copy and paste this before you GO LOOK AND SEE JUST IN CASE!!!!

Do YOU know how to COPY and PASTE?

Hold the COMMAND button down on your keyboard and push down on your MOUSE. Start Covering with BLUE by moving your MOUSE to the RIGHT!

Once at their check~out put your arrow in their box and hold COMMAND DOWN and HIT V on the keyboard.

Code: CONT25OFF should POP UP!!!!!

That way you do not have to recall it!

EASY…….YES?

NO!!!!!!

LET ME KNOW.

(I HAVE AN APPLE COMPUTER)

If you bought LAST time and have ADDITIONAL information let us KNOW BY ALL MEANS good or bad in the COMMENT section.

WE NEED EVERYONE’S OPINION NOT JUST MINE!

SO, VIDEO ONE or VIDEO TWO which do YOU think could possibly work for their NEEDS?

Or do I need to practice MORE and wait for THAT ITALIAN To come HOME…….GET OVER JETLAG………and RE~SHOOT?

AS YOU CAN SEE I AM HAVING FUN WITH THIS AND AM FLATTERED THEY ASKED ME TO DO IT!

WHO KNEW I WOULD BE MODELING AT AGE 57!!!!

XX

 

A BOOK REVIEW TO FOLLOW SOON on ALYSON’s SECOND BOOK!

If you have not seen it yet I was told per her EDITOR the book can be purchased HERE

It is a SMALL hardback book that would be a GREAT Hostess or Holiday gift for THAT woman of a CERTAIN AGE!

“You know style when you see it.

For me, it’s an unspoken thing.

It could be a woman walking down the street dressed in jeans and a floppy shirt,but she looks gorgeous.

It’s how the clothes hang on HER body,what shoes she’s wearing.

You can be elegant and chic when you’re wearing a shirt and jeans.”

 As stated by LYN SLATER in THE BOOK KNOW YOUR STYLE.

MIX IT, MATCH IT,LOVE IT.

YES, it’s Time to start thinking about THAT HOLIDAY MONTH!

I hope this will HELP!

    I am beyond tickled that you are doing more sponsored posts. And this video was perfect — with your long legs, swan neck, and funny conversational asides, you’re a natural! Even your nervousness is appealing. Much more “real” than some slick youngster. I and your legions of fans are excited to observe you on this new career path, and offer advice when needed. Bottom line: any advertiser would be so lucky to get your authenticity behind one of their products. Woot woot!

    I think they would like video #1 if they want to also promote the slimming cami, otherwise #2. Love the mix of up-style and middle-style. The semi-sneakers are such a good counterpoint to the gorgeous, elegant kimono. You look stunning and playful.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    I love video #2. A friend was just telling me about some residents who were evacuating from their home when their dog bolted. Later, they went back to their home and found it had totally burned down. As they went up the driveway their dog greeted them. How thedog survived no-one will ever know!
