[@robinshutze4375]

My husband watched you for the first time and fell in love. I just said, " Told ya. " You are so lovely, sexy, genuine, and stunning. I want to see you in movies, magazines , and tv shows. Thank you for helping me get through the loss of my mom with your videos. Whoever is chosen as a friend by you is a blessed person.

[@becky4868]

Ok, Lady. When your makeup is "awful" you still look absolutely gorgeous! I wish my bad makeup days turned out this well. Love you, Monique.

[@happytrails699]

I love your chatty get ready with me videos.

[@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen]

Wow, what an idiot that guy must be! Good news is that YOU are lucky to be rid of him! Bad news is that some other poor woman is now engaged to a jerk!

[@leanntheloutodublin3257]

Nola A Amen to that !!

[@francisringer9514]

For real ! What a jerk

[@mspeahoe3246]

Yeah, he was two-timing his now fiancé with Monique.

[@lindab6113]

Hi Monique! You are such a joy to listen to, no matter what the topic. I am so annoyed about that stupid ex and the person that never showed up.... You deserve so much better and I believe it is coming for you this year. You are such a fabulous woman!!!!! Love to you!!!!!

[@LittlePoet]

I loved this video for so many reasons...sometimes perfection is in the real

[@Anagnoresis007]

I love your sense of humour, and you are gorgeous as always.

[@leanntheloutodublin3257]

I was sitting reviewing my taxation assignment ( ugh..don't ask) and your video was playing in the backgroundd but when you said he got engaged to someone else a few weeks after he ended things... my head popped up and I said out loud ..."waitaminute.....He.did.WHAT !!!! The devil is a lie !!!" You dear Monique are fabulous and onward and upward ...his new fiancee..we gonna have to lift her up in prayer..cause Lord knows she may need it with a man like that !!! Hope we get a story about your date...hint hint. And could ya give your gorgeous ball of fur a scratch between the ears from me ? All the best :)

[@leanntheloutodublin3257]

Monique Parent Thanks so much for responding! I'm glad you are exploring your options, and totally understand you not going into too much detail about your dates (forgot they may watch these videos). I watched one of your older videos and saw you had another kitty !! Hope to see both of your fur-kids in your upcoming videos.

[@sherrys.96]

Hi Monique, let us know how your date went!!

[@sampleworks9432]

Happy new year Monique! Sorry to hear about that fella and that girlfriend. As Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them! Love your videos...take care

[@OZARKCOTTONTOP]

She speaks six languages: Serbo-Croatian, English, French, Italian, German, and her native Slovene ... Brains and Beauty =)

[@lisaduncan6923]

You may not have thought this video was your best but that is exactly what I love about you! You just roll with the punches with that loud contagious giggle. I think you giggle/laugh more when you're having a rough time. It's fabulous!!

[@DiningInwithstevielynn]

I haven't seen the finished result yet, I am on 10:04, but I wanted to stop and tell you that you look so beautiful, even before you "put your eyes on." Your eyes are so bright and gorgeous.

[@Palladio-gu3dj]

You had mentioned going to NC for a movie shoot. If you are flying into Asheville you must be shooting in Hendersonville. It is beautiful there and Asheville is amazing. Enjoy!

[@thursdayschild5084]

Your laugh is as delicious as your sense of humor! Wishing you a wonderful year, and plenty of love in all forms! I also had a solitary and sober NY eve, and it was just fine - some years will come in with big bangs, and pomp and ceremony, and some won't - but getting to see a new year again and again with health and sanity still intact is more than a blessing, right? 😂😂😂

[@jjbarnett3328]

Ha! My cat only drinks water out of a crystal glass on the bedside table. If a gentleman caller is over I have to say "don't drink that water". It belongs to the cat."

[@brendazhere1618]

Way to represent us ladies 50 +. Keep it up, I LOVE the videos!!

[@erob65]

Monique, all the hot rollers I have ever used seem to be too heavy, which causes them to flop over or fall out. Do you have any tips to overcome that? Don't be too hard on yourself, you are not failing as long as you are making an effort to have a life worth living. People in your life are showing you who they really are.

[@Ruth_Heasman]

Sounds like you dodged a bullet there Monique! Happy New Year!

[@aprilwilcher3311]

Those eyeshadow colors definitely brought out the green. I think you did a great job on the makeup. Happy New Year!

[@HeatherOdeh]

April Wilcher I thought so too!

[@lw5417]

The good thing is, he won't ever be able to hurt your feelings again. It's going to be a great new year. Regarding makeup, this video shows how blending can fix little goofs. Way better than starting over.

[@izziwizziranaway]

You are not the only one whose cat prefers drinking from glasses. Ours does too. He's called Dave. Small ramekin of lactose free milk and big glass of water, nice and cold. Every day. If he finds a glass any where, he just shoves his face right in if you're not fast enough.

[@margaretpentecost4056]

I'm a new subscriber, I am enjoying your videos. Your just a natural beauty. I do love your honesty about everything. I hope you enjoyed your date.

[@neysatg]

Monique, I just started watching you about two weeks ago and have sort of binged watched a lot of your videos. I appreciate your willingness to be open and transparent. I find that I want to see what you are talking about next and enjoying our little window into your life. Thanks for posting pics of events, too. Don't be down on yourself about the guy. Sounds like you dodged a bullet. You are a vibrant, attractive, funny and genuine person!

[@tracyhatcher1593]

In NC we are awaiting a major snow event. The weather forecasters are predicting 6-12 inches in the next 48 hours. We don't see a lot of snow here, lots of smaller snow events in our area. You would think that someone said we would be permanently snowed in if you went to the grocery store. We have had this kind of forecast before and gotten nothing. It's nice to have the chat when seemingly the whole world is going crazy. Loving your take on the situation. The fella is not worthy of you. There is someone better out there.

[@KathyEvans]

I think your makeup turned out great. Your voice is fun and friendly at the same time so I rarely miss and never skip the latest videos. My early 50's were a fun time of life and glad to see you making the most of yours 👸

[@karent3004]

Monique. I hesitated to comment earlier when you mentioned this guy before how he disappeared. And you just used the with ghosted re your girlfriend standing you up. This being an open forum about make-up etc, I'm not going to get lengthy about this but I'm guessing you are hooked up with at least 1 if not 2 full blown narcissists, both the guy and your girlfriend. My advice, run for the hills girl and don't look back. They are complete shitbirds and you are much too cute and funny for their crapola. I love your videos and always laugh like a hyena at your silliness. Keep it up... you're adorable. Hugs and best wishes for the new year. Kaytee.

[@NancyFrye]

Karen Thompson Preach.👍❤️

[@sm3296]

So agree, that guy was not nice and not good enough for you Monique. You are beautiful inside and out, so refreshing in a world of Real Housewives. As for that so called friend, that's a terrible thing to do. You are so unique, they are going to miss you in their lives but you girl, just keeping looking up. I love watching you and I think being your friend would be a privilege.

[@donnacolyer131]

I love how 100% you are! just plain you!! I love that about you... I feel like we could really relate to each other and have A-blast! You are way too good for either one of those 2 people.. The good Lord will bless you with the right guy in the right time

[@Salemagnet28]

You're so LUCKY to have been shown his true colors before you invested any more of your time or emotions in that steaming pile of 💩. The Universe is watching over you, and clearly, it thinks you deserve much better. I am truly happy for you. I'm glad you are dating, but don't forget to work on yourself, too. I don't know about you, but I've never been able to leap into another relationship until after I was in a good place emotionally, once again.... and before long, you will be. 👌 PS... we ALL have bad makeup days... I've had a few too many of those myself, lately! I've bought a lot of new products this year, with no clue on how to use them. So every day is a crapshoot. The texture of my skin changed following my hysterectomy earlier this year, so I'm having to rethink everything all over, again. Thanks for creating this channel! 👍

[@sxycna2469]

I absolutely LOVE your videos, even if they don't turn out the way you expect them to. It just shows how down to earth you really are!! I just adore you!!

[@kellyzuppke4236]

I love how real you are !!

[@threeqtrtime]

I think your makeup looks amazing. It ALWAYS does. And all I have to say is girl be grateful you dodged that bullet. I give that relationship 3 months tops. What a jerk. You are so gorgeous and smart.. your Prince Charming will come and sweep you off your feet. Expect it when you LEAST expect it. Happy New Year sweetie. Hugs n love Bobbie

[@kayschares7935]

I have fine, thin hair & tends to frizz. I'm loving the Caruso Steam Rollers. Less damaging. Makes my hair shiny.

[@heathergrey7893]

Thank you, Monique. You are just so sincere and honest about it all. You are so lovely.

[@soniamoreira8168]

Monique, you are killing me today. You are so funny. Love you. Nothing like connecting to a celeb....you are great. Thank you for making me smile. Please continue with all the great videos

[@cheryllynnclark9240]

I stumbled upon your videos after I decided to embrace the glitter (gray) hair I am blessed with. I must say, it is really nice to have your videos as so many women of a certain age ( I'm recently 47 ) do not appreciate or embrace their uniqueness. I think we could be major BFFs. I would never stand you up😂

[@cathrynrosencrans-etienne8294]

OMG the eyeliner made your eyes POP!! And I LOVE that lip color, I already added it to my Amazon cart!!

[@karmakomodia]

OmGahd.. I cracked up at your "THING"... I thought you were going to get a makeup brush. then Blam.. awesome magnifying thing.. You are such a blast!!!

[@jillyc3777]

Third video I"ve watched and I love her honesty. Like how her hair is growing out too. You look marvelous!

[@christinajardine]

omg lol..I laughed so hard when you whipped out that giant magnifying glass! I love your videos!

[@lydiachavez8004]

there is NEVER a dull moment with you! I adore your honesty. lov ya girl!!

[@2sagefarm231]

Enjoying my coffee with you as you get ready! Happy New Year!!!

[@emmk8289]

Woman, you made my day. Love your style, humor and honesty! I wish you a happy and successful New Year and hope you find a lot of reasons to smile.

[@PanAmPatti]

Take along the UGGS anyway. Wear them on the plane if they're too big to pack.You might want to use them at the airport or in your room or trailer or even when waiting around during set ups. I totally believe in creature comforts!

[@ericamar1241]

Definitely not disastrous makeup, beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing.

[@christiannem8282]

glad you got away from that guy. you definitely deserve better! good luck with bumble- sounds like a good idea! and we all have days where our eyeshadow just doesn't turn out well- trust me! you still looked beautiful! happy new year!

[@dawnthompson1251]

Oh my word!! You made me laugh so hard! Love your sense of humility. I'm not a huge fan of make tutorials but you are so awesome. Thank you for the informative and witty!

[@iispixiebeader]

OHHH LOVE you bunches!!! Those do look so pretty!! Sometimes I don't know they are so pretty until they are on the right person.

[@soniabeall7791]

I love your "disastrous" video. You're so much fun and good luck on set!

[@cecacademicadvisor]

You are such fun. I hope you have a great time on your dating adventures.

[@katpiotrowski8078]

I met my husband in a similar fashion, it was just before online dating became vogue and I met him through a singles line on the telephone. I took a leap of faith, because I don't like meeting someone at a bar either. Have fun! Wish you the best! I LOVE your makeup tutorials and never would have guessed you were balancing the mirror on your knees! LOL

[@redneckchick2773]

U have truly made menopause bearable lol this is my third try to go grey lol I love ur inspiration and help and humour u go sister blessings jess

[@calypsomaiden]

Monique, what a blast watching a honestly beautiful women inside and out, you seemed really up and hopeful and lite up with the possibility and you deserve a super wonderful person in your life. I have never cared much for makeup technique and you've taught me some gems that now at 57 I needed to be following 10 years ago, like shading above my eyelid. Cant wait to hear how it goes. aloha and Happy New Year to you.

[@EMSpdx]

This was so much fun- and honestly, most make up is not perfect- not even on a movie set! I hope you had fun on your date!

[@debcolquhoun3206]

Happy New Year!! I really enjoy watching you!!! Have fun on your date❤

[@perrywatts384]

thanks for the frank talk about your new year. Salut..for your honesty. Almost an art in itself..and thats aside to the beautiful transformations you create with your gorgeous self..thank you!!!!

[@maryc5800]

It's great to have you back, missed not having you around over Christmas. As always, you look fab. Sorry to hear about the engagement, life is just a bummer sometimes. You deserve better. Keep smiling. ❤️from☘️!!!

[@carolinefenno5877]

I think one of the many reasons I watch you is because you have the same emotions and experiences we all do (except we are not gorgeous movie stars like you). I had a similar New Years a few years back. And many bad boy friends too. I am happy to say I committed to only one month of eHarmony in October and a day before my subscription was over, Carlos, the first real love of my life, appeared. He and I both know that this is a rare thing. I never thought it would happen for me and I am praying for this unexpected miracle for you too.

[@evesutton56]

I do enjoy your chatty videos. Happy New Year and very best wishes to you 😊

[@pennyrader3954]

You crack me up, Monique. I hope you have an uber fabulous date.

[@nursie94]

I love every single one of your videos! You have such a great sense of humor!

[@neeloferseward5898]

love your self of humor. I am 64 always love make up since I was a teenager. I use to work for Revlon. it was fun. I can't believe how many more products are available. I do like it cosmetic.

[@virginiaholliday6952]

You're such fun! I enjoy listening to your "ramblings". I love your tutorials. You make me laugh. Thanks for being there. Kisses!

[@agingophelia9812]

A new film, exciting!

[@Unfugrundfunk]

Ghosting out on a girlfriend is high treason. Gosh that makes me angry! You look like a ten anyways

[@reneweir4083]

I love your honesty!!! I think this was an awesome video....keeping it real is what made it really shine.

[@susanjo6071]

Ok I subscribed! I'm very picky and your humor finally got me! Especially the Melania quip--so agree. Hope the date went well and Happy New Year!! No worries...I don't watch for the tutorials. LOL

[@bradygriffin6924]

You make me smile Monique. I was thinking of going gray (even faster...) and ran across you. Your transformation from the "plain-Jane" look to glamorous starlet amazes me. . Is starlet the right word, I guess not knowing a "starlet", I've never had excuse to use the word. Better luck on the dating...

[@andreaspeaks361]

All the best with your new dating adventures. would love to hear the entire aftermath of onset horror movie insider stuff when you get back from doing that. sounds cool

[@greenorangeviolet]

YESSSS love the trend of women over 30 on KZbin beauty. you're amazing!

[@carylc7891]

All too many of us know how it feels - it just sucks. Good luck with the dating! I really enjoy your videos. I'm a silver gal too. Happy New Year!

[@larahporter8123]

I love you! You are soo funny! You deserve better friends! Happy new year! And ty for your good vibe!

[@shirleynewby5437]

I love all your videos and you always look amazing. I have started my transition to going grey this year. I hope my hair looks as great as yours. Thanks for being a inspiration to me.

[@theresavanderford2281]

I do the same thing with the ice water for my two cats; they have one of those fancy schmancy water fountains but they won't go near it! I think your makeup looked fine, but I have had many of those episodes where I just wipe the whole thing off and call it a day. Hope you had a wonderful New Years.

[@kdonenow2875]

Monique . I have been watching (and subscribed) your videos recently for these simple reasons #1 you are a gorgeous woman at 50 something and have given your time and knowledge of make up and beautiful style etc to women looking for tips and tricks all while giving the feeling of hanging out with a girlfriend . there are so many make up tutorial videos on you tube.. but for woman over 50.. not so many. I thank you and want to say you are an inspiration. . to women who feel like after turning 50 yrs old..the party is over.. you show that age is just a number.. Any woman would be lucky to look as beautiful as you are at 30 never mind 50. .. You go girl!! I look forward to watching all your videos. ...

[@heatherpier148]

what an effing jerk! Both the ex and your gf. keep moving. you deserve better.

[@darwinianblunder5307]

You dodged a bullet, Monique. It's painful but I have a feeling that Mr. Engaged cannot be faithful and will always be looking for greener grass.

[@elenikominos7404]

Hahaha>>>When You Pulled out the Magnifying Glass>>>You Crack Me Up>>>!!!

[@nealkeith5205]

So glad I found you!! Life begins at 50--believe me. Trying to go natural gray. Thanks for all the tips. Women have all the power (I'll fill you in).

[@sandycarroll3198]

It will be cold I live in eastern Tennessee and we are expecting 4-6 inches of snow tonight so be sure to bring warm clothes. It is 18 degrees right now. I hope you have fun on your date tonight. I love your stories about your cats. Your makeup looked beautiful! Take care and I love your videos.

[@halflingbermuda]

Hope you had fun. You'd made me smile x

[@heatherpalmer]

I love watching you channel it's so relaxing I always put you on at night 😀 your chatting away doing make up or talking about something ! I'm doing paper work of taking my make up off 👄💄 it's lovely girl time so much better than the TV 💕💕

[@jacquelinejohnson4028]

You are so authentic, even when you try to be O.K. So he got engaged! That hurts, but think of it this way: do you want a guy that would treat someone special like you - that way? You deserve better! And you will get better. You have so much to offer a nice guy dont settle for a shallow type.

[@magpie06]

Hahahaha! Just like a "big girl". You're so ... I can't think of a good enough word! Let's go with Pleasing. You're pleasing to watch, to listen to, to laugh with, to learn from. Like all your other viewers, I really LIKE you. You're just so genuine and fun! Thanks for all the videos.

[@dianemiller6440]

Your "thing" cracked me up🤗! You are way too great for that guy....we love you❤️

[@dianemiller6440]

Forgot...you look beautiful for your date...have fun.

[@heidifoss532]

So sorry for your crappy start to the year but on the bright side, it's only up from here! Prayers for a wonderful year! Lol cats!

[@geraldinechiles6935]

Monique I love ur videos I can relate to u in so many ways. thanks for doing these. it's hard getting back into the dateing seen. anywho keep it up.

[@BonRain8734]

Your videos are so much fun to watch...thanks for sharing :-)

[@emnoble1]

You are hysterical!! Thank for the laugh. Hope the date went well. And of course we are servents to our fur babies!!

[@corinabizzell6299]

Henderson, NC... yea!! my old stomping ground. I hope you have time to enjoy it

[@mynxonyx]

copious amounts of poorly applied eye shadow.... I laughed so hard I almost fell off the couch. you are a riot thank you :)

[@elysejoseph]

Monique I adore you!!! I've been watching your videos for about a month now and you make me laugh, you give courage to go gray and feel good about it, thank you so much! You are beautiful with and without makeup! I'm a makeup artist and I always say to my clients: ''this is only makeup, not a tattoo, if it's too much for you we can take it down, if it's not enough we can take it up a notch.'' You did a great job to bring your blue eyes out! Hope your date went well and if not, don't despair, I've waited all my adult life for the love of my life and he found me 2 years ago ;-) I'm French Canadian btw and you have such a French name?

[@suzanneribas2796]

Love your hair this length and style. I am looking back.

[@Jenniferde2007]

Monique I really liked your eye make-up--not sure I could do it but it looked great on you.

[@nataliegriffin7072]

Absolutely LOVE your videos and personality!

[@Beatrice.Buiron]

I love you Monique, have a wonderful new year!

[@lauramaddison7251]

You made me laugh so hard when you said something like: "Well, now that we have copious quantities of poorly applied shadow, let's blend it shall we" -- Just struck me as so funny! I, too, am glad you're free of the former idiot -- onwards and upwards to the next hopefully-much-improved hunk! - Laura from Vancouver, BC

[@jenloveslife8890]

Dear Monique, I am feeling with you. That is an experience ( with that man) I wish to no one. And because your are precious to me- even we will never see each other- your some kind of a friend of my heart. I wished you had just wonderful experience- the opposite of what you had. Shalom from Germany. Love and Light for you, Jennifer

[@user-GodsGirl4ever]

Have a wonderful year, Monique! You are fabulous! Love your videos. xo ~Sheilah

[@lisaallen5487]

Your banter is what sets your videos apart from the rest! You are so much fun! I'm going to be honest though, the eyeshadow was hideous! No worries though, you still looked great! Hope your date went well.

[@annelister1]

So glad that i found your videos i have been binge watching all day. you are very entertaining can't wait to see more
