GRWM: Date Night at Yamashiro

Date Night at Yamashiro
Gosh, it’s been a bit since I last got dressed up and went out! Tonight we are going out to dinner at the beautiful, historic restaurant at the base of the Hollywood Hills, known for it spectacular view (yummy food, too). For our dinner at Yamashiro, I am rocking a dark green smokey eye, nude lips and my favorite quickie updo for super fine “cotton candy” hair.

As I sit here on a Saturday afternoon in my Lands End Starfish pants and flannel shirt, contemplating putting the clean sheets on the bed, you have brought me a bit of Cinderella magic! Thank you and you looked lovely.

[@bettybarneyhill4289]

[@erob65]

“Every day is Valentine’s Day” ❤️💕 I love how attentive and complimentary of you Howard is.

[@bonniewulff8627]

I’ve been watching you since the beginning and I just want to say that your happiness make you glow .

[@jdk5379]

"Stop a bird mid-flight hairspray" - ROFL! Thank You & Howard for taking us along - Beautiful restaurant. Hope he's feeling better - You are Stunning, Monique...and frickin' hysterical! Love, Joy & Hugs ;)

[@RianShafer]

That's what I call it too! People thought it very funny but I'm serious! Thanks to Monique for verifying it's an actual term. lol

[@melindarozas1334]

You look beautiful Monique as usual. Love that green shadow; made your eyes pop!! Much love to you and Howard!!

[@annpayne9954]

You are so glamorous. You are such an encouragement to me. I love that Howard treats you like the star you are.

[@edwardmahony8160]

Loved the way your eyes changed colour as you applied the Fabulous green shadow And your finished look was... Fantastic!!! Stunning!!! Gorgeous!!!

[@bettymaldonado8432]

Now is that beautiful or what!!! And yes for some of us we are blessed in that valentine's day is every day!!!!

[@sonnyryan4950]

Thank you for taking us along this most spectacular evening. I love the way you light up when Howard enters the room. There’s definitely an electricity between the two of you.🥰♥️🇺🇸

[@Rocky-ry6uw]

So happy for you both! Stunning views looking over Hollywood. Hope Howard is doing just fine from his surgery.

[@lorrainevanlelyveld8065]

You are such a beautiful lady inside and out. When you laugh one can't help laughing with you. Laughter IS a gift. I've been on your channel for years and years , ever since I went grey. ( Best choice ever) I have seen how you've sparkled and I see love in your eyes everytime you make a video. Happiness and love is healthy ❤❤ you have inspired this old lady and taught me new make up techniques and hairstyles. And I've also grown in liking myself . And I am a very healthy, happy 72 yr old . Much much love from South Africa. Btw you look beautiful. ❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@loisbrace1669]

You NEVER cease to amaze me with your gorgeous transformations! Love it!

[@shirleylenehan2072]

Truly stunning...Hope you both had a lovely evening! Wishing Howard a speedy recovery from his surgery. Xx

[@heidimasters953]

Wow, you’re such a pro with your eye makeup- just beautiful!

[@marywojcicki6904]

This reminds me why I enjoy being a girl 🎼Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@martydavis325]

You look amazing! You just might have sold me on the NARS makeup and concealer! Looks like your evening was perfect! Happy Valentine’s Day everyday!

[@shirlynssleeve4661]

I love that you know your hair so well and style accordingly. My hair is exactly the same so a Bob with a bit shorter in back gives me the best volume when needed. I did buy the hair piece that you used in your get ready in 10 minutes video but haven’t used it yet. Trying like hell to not look like a gray squirrel landed on my head!

[@dianaaponte1738]

I ended up shaving all my hair off in a buzz cut and I love it!

[@patriciasimmon6854]

Thanks Monique! What a magical place that you and Howard chose for your Valentine dinner. You looked lovely. Best to you two. 💕from Ky.

[@leesalogic3]

Wow! I loved your modified (simplified) french twist that puts a lot of volume and curly wispies. I have baby fine thin hair too, so I'm excited to try this myself

[@anavaldesuso8607]

You look beautiful Monique. Love the makeup look and hair!! Lots of love ❤️ for you and Howard!! Restaurant looks beautiful.

[@RanalynnNaipo]

I always save your videos and listen and watch while I’m applying my make up. Absolutely stunning look as always. Stay fabulous and enjoy your evening.

[@sandywilkerson1843]

Loved that everyday is Valentines day. 💝 The green looks stunning on you. The outfit looks fun. Hope you had a Fabulous time with Howard. That restaurant has amazing views.

[@deborahr9237]

How romantic - would love to have Valentine's day every day. Happy for you!!

[@christinapasz2061]

Gorgeous! When you pulled your hair up, I gasped. You are absolutely stunning with your hair up/short.

[@xiomaras95]

You and Howard hit the lotto when you found each other. You are both so blessed.

[@norarivers2744]

So relaxing and fun to watch! Love your green eyeshadow 💚

[@bearsmom74]

Beautiful, as always, Monique. You make it all look so effortless. Happy Valentine's day to you both?

[@PT-tw6kg]

Your the only KZbinr that I trust your not pushing products. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🌹❣️ Happy Valentine's Day prayers . You would look great with a pixie bob!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 All goes great.

[@margueritemazzeo2904]

Yamashiro..fancy ..fancy..love it!💖💐

[@melbooksnstuff5712]

Amazing look. Your videos are the most inspiring Monique. Thank you

[@ToshaRaeNailed]

This is a genuine compliment. My beloved Grandmother had eye's just like yours look in this lighting. I haven't seen into her eye's in so so long. Takes my breath away. You have beautiful eyes.

[@karenwright9123]

You both look great. Oooo that restaurant,superb. Making memories.💖

[@tundrawomansays5067]

I know I’m late to the party but once again you’ve outdone yourself! I’ve been following you forever and your tips, transparency and authenticity are so refreshing. Again, many thanks Ms. Parent and PLEASE DON’T CUT YOUR HAIR! Long hair is highly versatile, can be braided in endless styles especially up-dos. I wore mine in a two strand twisted rope braid from the crown down (just keep adding chunks of hair from either side) to where I pushed the bottom of the braid under the nape and got compliments all the time. You can also try those hair colored stretchy ponytail/bun things (pull all your hair up, use the elastic to hold all the hair-or use a couple for height and dimension.) Your hair will be kept neat all day and professional/polished for any occasion. Want short(Er) hair? Purchase a wig. Seriously. Thanks again for being here for us ;-)

[@ASD546]

That looks like so much fun!🙂💖

[@Mexicobeanpole]

Every time I see you put on makeup I think, I don’t blend enough! I need to slow down. Beautiful, as usual Monique.💝

[@cherylsimmondsday9380]

Hello Monique.Missed you! Love the way you apply makeup.Thank you for all the tips& being you!

[@lilmissunshine83]

I can’t wait to have my every Valentine’s Day person. I’m so happy for you!

[@CherylBerryl]

I don't know how I missed this video from last year? It just popped up in my YT feed, so I watched it. What a beautiful restaurant. And you looked Gorgeous, & Howard handsome. I'm sure you had a fabulous time!

[@donnagarside8520]

Beautiful and honest! Love your look!

[@briannab4770]

It honestly makes me emotional to see how your life has evolved over the years. Seeing you walk up the stairs of your BEAUTIFUL house, getting ready to go on a date with your gorgeous, dream man, still not stopping and having fun and getting sexy. I've been following you for years, and so much has changed. You must have some great karma because you seem to be living the dream! I'm 27 and you give me something to look forward to as I get older. We're bombarded with messaging that women should just fade away after 40, but I'm excited to get there and beyond. Hope you're taking care of yourself.

[@loralu490]

Love Yamashiro's!!! We go there quit a bit! The view is everything.

[@mayrenepowell9769]

I love the shadow it’s beautiful 🤩

[@RianShafer]

I have the same type hair. I refuse to cut it short so it only looks full and fluffy the first day, 2nd day flat, 3rd day.... oily! It's still pink so it does the cotton candy exceptionally well. Happy belated Valentine's Day. Every day is Valentine's Day for me as well. Not going to be sorry, it took a lifetime to find him.

[@breadwagon362]

What an uplifting video of love and happiness.

[@lolad5856]

You are truly beautiful inside and out, such a genuinely lovely couple. Do hope Howard’s recovery went well, regards from England ❤️

[@lynnethebeautifulone4145]

You did a bang up job. Beautiful

[@92Mayah]

[@beverleymoore8536]

I'm impressed with what a nice person you are. I've been watching you since the night you got dressed up to go out with friend on a birthday. You looked lovely and you were fun. You haven't changed!

[@MoniqueparentYT]

Thank you!! 😊

[@graceb]

You made a beautiful video Monique. I Loved it from start to finish. Howard is such a lovely man. But you already know this.

[@jaimeeames9514]

[@marciprice1833]

Happy Belated Valentines Day! have a good recovery from surgery.. you have a great "nurse" ;) to take care of you!

[@sandrapastor6300]

As always, a great video! I love the glasses. But at $108 .... I'll put them on my wish list. I remember the 3 or 4 pairs of reading glasses you bought for $1 each. Those were just as pretty 😉 Have fun!❤

[@vanwirt7]

Hey!! Thank you 😊 love your grwm videos!!! Miss u ❤❤❤

[@nadiarusso8688]

Lovely as always xx

[@sharishelmadine465]

As always, I love watching your videos. I’m seeing orbs in the background. Maybe your spirit guides are watching too. ❤️

[@marykitties1]

Most beautiful eye color I've ever seen.

[@8innings]

🎶Love is in the air 🎶 enjoy your date night. You look great ⚘

[@karenmorrison798]

You are really good at make up. I learn something every time I watch your videos.

[@maryposa34]

I need this lip color/combo its just so natural and perfect wow. What a beautiful woman you are xoxoxo

[@cathyhunter1263]

I have cottoncandy gray hair to thats a perfect description

[@BrendaKay2024]

After you get your foundation on your eyes look so much bluer....you do such a great job with your makeup...

[@slp1561]

You are such a beautiful couple! May you be happy for many-many years!!!

[@JaVi-wf1gl]

how did you like Yamashiro? i was just back there a month ago and was amazed. It changed so much.

[@junieb9161]

Stunning makeup hair and dress! You and Howard are adorable. My hair is just like yours..cottoncandy . The struggle is real. Lol

[@Serendipity-gj2me]

Thank you Monique, that was lovely. Will you make a video on how you remove all that make-up when you get back? That seems to be my dilemma. Eye make-up remover, then oil to loosen the foundation, after that milky cleanser and finally foamy cleanser. It seems more effort to get it off than applying.

[@WillowNook]

love it!

[@canine6023]

glad I found you. We have the same coloring. Although my eyes are pale grey green. You are a breathtaking woman. Thankyou so much.

[@romiehutson5230]

I think you’d look really good with a short hair cut like cris jenner especially if your always putting your hair up. Love your look and dress

[@lourdespascual3307]

Beautiful your natural hair

[@rochellewant5418]

I’m so glad that I do my eyes before my face👍👍

[@jayzokan]

first Time I see your video, Monique, you're a fascinating Person- .... and a beautiful one, too!! Will always watch your videos now. And of course I have subscribed to you now✌️❤️

[@donnamunoz1613]

You look beautiful Monique hope you had a lovely evening. Prayers for Howard.

[@amielynn2657]

What do you apply before you apply your makeup? Any serums, moisturizers or sunscreen. Just curious to what brands you think are great. Thank you!

[@sharonperry8978]

You look amazing and please never apologize for being happy and in love…..you went through some rough times 🥰👍🏻

[@lindatucker124]

Beautiful!!!❤

[@judir9196]

Wow! Can we also talk about your amazing nails? Great color! You look beautiful! I hope you had a great time!!

Lovely to see you, Lisa! Have a great day!

[@cassil.g.455]

I was hoping for a GRWM video, perfect timing;) I had a video request...Have you ever seen those airbrush makeup applicators? I would love first impressions if you could. I was thinking of getting one but had no idea if they work. Just an idea;) xoxo, I hope Harold has a speedy recovery ;)

[@Prairietallgrass]

You both looked lovely! Hope all went well with Howard’s surgery.

[@suemcdonald7096]

I just came across your videos and I love them . The ones I saw were from 5 years ago . I scrolled through and found this one . I'm so happy . Even though I'm older than you , I find your videos very helpful . I'm subscribing and hope you post many more . Thanks so much . ❤🤍💙

[@PaleOpal21]

Your garden is beautiful. Huge difference from when you and Howard bought the house.

[@lindacatt867]

Monique, you are beautiful, inside and out, your personality is true blue and you are the kind of person that everyone would love to know, including me. My hopes for you and Howard are for all the happiness in the world. I am 67 years old and found my guy 36 years ago and we are still very happy (some ups and downs of course) but that is the real world, the secret is to talk and be open with everything, (maybe not everything, wink) but we are here for such a short time so be as happy as you can. You are very unique, Monique. Linda, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

[@felisaimelendez1211]

The hair was very nice down. I have the same type and color hair, but curly. Good job. From Riverside, CA
