On a slightly different note, people often ask me about the different materials and fabrics that I use to pull up my hair in these videos. Well, news flash- most of the time they are neck gaiters. Seriously, I’m not joking. 🤗

My latest set comes from UNCO. When offered a chance to spread the word and receive a commission, I jumped on it. So, I hope you’ll check them out. I’d love to see you wearing them around your neck or in your hair. I’m also here if you need tips for your hair. 😉

My Patreon community was able to watch my Counting My Blessings video three days early, but now it’s public if you’d like to see it and don’t want to go to Patreon. There’s also a short for it, in case the full video is too long for you.
