June Vlogs :: Day 3 :: Makeup 💄 Hearing Aids 🦻 Bread 🥖 Sewing 🧵

[@rachelhamby3851]

I couldn't adore you a single ounce MORE!!!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Blimey! Sounds like you love me more than my husband does 😆😆😆 I know what you mean, I have vloggers I feel attached to in the same way. Nice though, I think xxx

[@suecoles7824]

Bless ya Gayna, you are keeping me going! 🥰 xxx 😽

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Keep going, my babber!!!!

That hearing aid tin is genius. And the stamped bag is so chic. I’m sure the recipient will reuse it. Thank you for doing these vlogs, you’re such great company 🧡

[@SW-cu6bw]

Instead of telling yourself you hate gardening, tell yourself you love gardening! Turn the negative into positive. The garden always looks so amazing with the hard work you do. Looking forward to the next video.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I tell myself this “I love my garden, I love it enough to make the effort” it gets me out there but I cannot give up my moaning about it 😂😂😂 it’s part of my identity after all 😜

[@keeleyevans7356]

Just started watching June vlogs and am loving them! I love your honesty - I also get embarrassed if my husband sees me exercising. I am going to start 100 squats a day tomorrow and see how I get on. Might chuck some weights in too.... Wish me luck!

[@deekay1641]

Ohhhhhhhh, that bread made my mouth start to water. The loaves came out beautifully. It's just lovely spending time with you. Thank you for sharing your time.

[@sue7621]

Lovely liberty little print dress and the lined tin -great job! Every time I see your videos it makes my day! You’re so lovely and your boy’s🤗🙌♥️ I’ve still got all the dresses I made for my 2 daughter they will fit my granddaughter soon she loves dressing up! She’s 5 going on 18😹

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Oh how lovely to have saved those dresses and to see them used again. X

[@jenkershner2970]

Gardening is so much work but like you I love the results. I'd happily never weed again though and the worst of the summer I hate it with the heat of a thousand suns because I do not enjoy hot weather. BUT it gives me so much joy that I do the crap bits to get the good bits! I hope to have a potting shed/greenhouse next year and look forward to what that will add to the experience. I love having a rainy day which is actually a permission slip not to work outside!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

We have to just get on with it and make the most of what we have got, which is a lot. We are very lucky girls 🥰

[@mmaas4879]

Such a wonderful idea to vlog and bring joy to many 😊 Love your sewing and craft projects, along with your baking. Thank You‼️

[@sophiataylor946]

Thank you for taking time out of your day to make these vlogs it brings so much joy. I love your skirt you made, which pattern is it???

[@needleworkfromthebeehive7520]

That bread looks amazing! Yummers! Loved your make up; what is your crayon? Caviar stick? It’s a gorgeous colour. Xx

[@talesfromcuckooland]

It’s a Bobbi brown smudgsicle I think they call it. It stays in all day too xxx

Such a great visit with you.... as always😊❗Thank you for vlogging again, Gayna❗ No matter what your day holds, it's a treat for me! Do you think we'll be seeing Granny & Papa sometime during the month?🤞

Yes, next weekend!! Yay!

Sooooo happy to see you again. I'll go grab my coffee and knitting and watch you until we hit the road again. We're traveling in the glorious Pacific Northwest and Canada.

[@glendabathgate4036]

Lovely dear friend

[@sophieskedgell3858]

Hello lovely Great to see you again and as ever love your vlogs. Thank you for sharing and spending time doing them. Re make-up have you looked or seen, Jones road products, made by Bobbi brown but so much cleaner and better! Bit pricey atm as it's shipped from US but I'm sure it won't be long till some department store stocks it. Some of the products sell out fairly quickly. Your looking so well xx

[@cliffe02]

Thank you Gaynor. June is going to be so much fun now you are daily blogging. 🙂. Jane. X

[@karenbushellakacozycornerq8890]

Your room is tidy compared to mine. I’ve got half the kitchen in mine 😉

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Ah but that’s extreme circumstances.

[@pattyomalley833]

Love the bunting and the sound of the rain. The bunting looks perfect with the lights at the windows with the rainy background. Good for you in keeping up with the squats. I can't do them anymore as I hurt my knee while doing them years ago and it still pulls when I attempt them.

[@christinephillips2069]

Just think if you didn’t garden you wouldn’t be able to have all those lovely roses in your house x I’ve had to take it easy this week on my allotment, because I fell of a ladder and I thought I had broken my foot ( but I hadn’t ) just sprained but it really hurt , but your vlogs cheer me up x thank you

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Oh no! You poor thing! Having flowers to pick and good to eat spurs me on with the garden.

[@christinephillips2069]

@@talesfromcuckooland but all is well I’m back on Monday but the older we get the longer it takes to heal (and it hurts a lot more ) 😂😂😂😂 I’m my own worst enemy , I never listen , I’m too busy enjoying myself xx

[@lindahumphreys1003]

Welcome to the Hearing Aid gang 😊.. When I first had mine I just loved to be outside listening to all the sounds of nature I totally hadn't realised I'd been missing. Thanks for sharing your vlogs with us. I find them really calming to watch. You are such a lovely lot! 😊😊😍

[@carolyncampbell6149]

Thanks for another lovely cheerful vlog! The weather in my part of Scotland has been lovely for the Jubilee weekend but I’m stuck at home with covid. Never mind I have Gayna to cheer me up! 😀❤️

[@shirleyflavell5705]

Doesn't a bit of makeup make you feel good. I put it on everyday, couldn't not. I use every bit of powders as well or scoop lipstick out of bottom of container and add to a small container and brush on. Not because I'm mean(or maybe I am) but love the product and you can guarantee you can"t get the same one again!! Loved the roses in your room they looked superb.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Yes! And the barrel of lipstick has so much in there once it’s worn down! I like popping several in a pot and mixing up new colours.

[@sophielamming3961]

Thank you ❤️

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Thank YOU!

[@heathertucker7056]

Your bread always looks so good! Lovely vlog Gayna and glad you enjoyed the party! I am super impressed with your squats! If I tried that you would hear my poor knees going off like rifle shots! Take care all love WW xx

[@talesfromcuckooland]

My legs snd knees are holding up for far thankfully x

[@marlenefaull248]

You clever girl, that little padded tin is just the right size. I love making and fiddling around with little bits, great much more pleasure than with big projects. C u tmrw. Thanks. X

[@nadinestapler3881]

Thank you, loved it.😊

[@juliewagner6768]

Great to see you back Gayna! You keep my company while I do my makeup each day! On the topic of makeup. Are you aware that makeup has a shelf life of no more than about 2 years. You said you are using stuff that you bought years ago, and I hope it is still good! See you tomorrow.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

That’s true but I exaggerate and only use the powdered old stuff never the cream or liquid stuff. Mind you the lippy is pretty old, smells ok though 😝

[@ericallerton809]

Awesome squats!!!! Love UR sweater,,,,, and UR tin,! Elaine🏡🏡🏘🏚🏚😍

[@richardfinney5081]

Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Wish my craft room was as tidy as yours , I no sooner tidy it up than it's a tip again 😂😂🤣, I do Love it tho ,. Its my place 😂, Woo I do Love your little dog 🤗, to be fair I Love everyone's Dog 😂😂🤣, Take Care Love xx

[@ZebraKitten]

It's lovely to see you doing daily vlogs again. Not sure if it was day 2 or 3 with Bill in it but it's lovely to see how he's doing. All your boys are lovely though. With your squats, my physio always says if you loose count, you need to start again! 😄

[@Scout1052]

Day 3….. What was that sweet song in the background? We only got snippets, but they made me quite curious to hear all the lyrics. AND. Your brown paper bag can be nearly wrinkle free if you run your iron over it a few times….. if you care to be particular.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

It’s a lovely song. Here’s a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmSYfGaNlrCWpac I couldn’t be bothered to get out the iron. Lazy moo hey?!

[@pennyspearing2731]

I live in West Sussex and the weather hasn’t been brilliant here so far for the Jubilee weekend. I can almost smell that delicious bread and I love the little tin you have lined to keep your hearing aids safe 😊

[@annehayward3506]

Great little tin for your hearing aids, and the tiny liberty dress is so cute.I’m just about to start making the dough for my next loaf the one in the box is half gone so by tomorrow will need it. The patty looked so fun , and Alex is right you do get your squats quite low! Stay safe love and hugs xx

[@talesfromcuckooland]

How low can ya go 🎵 I’m chuffed with my wee hearing aid box 😄

[@suedale1865]

I was given two little zip top squishy pouches with my hearing aids of course use one for aids the other as bulb pin / progress keeper keeper The bread looks so 😋

[@anneclements2473]

You really do crack Me up 😃😃😃 Also I love all the different things that you do to make things special for people. I’m not so imaginative but you definitely give me great ideas for which I so grateful. ❤️❤️ P.s. for anyone who gets their veg from Riverford Their brown bags are great for wrapping - you just have to work round the logo!

[@phoebepaxford7184]

I'm 48 now and care less and less about what I should or shouldn't do or wear. It's liberating!

[@thecraftydawn]

The bread looked so lovely! Are the used make up containers recyclable?

[@talesfromcuckooland]

Yes they have places in our supermarkets specifically for recycling beauty products. As I replace stuff I’ll be seeking out chemical free, eco products in sustainable packaging. I think good concealers and mascara is going to be problematic though.

[@thecraftydawn]

@@talesfromcuckooland I don't wear make up, too many allergies, but it does seem to be packaged in a lot of plastic. Sadly, I have not seen a make up recycling container in my area. I do hope you are able to find a good concealer and mascara.

[@tinastone7368]

Have you a link to where you purchased your stamps please ?

[@talesfromcuckooland]

What stamps? I’m so sorry Tina but when you watch old videos I cannot remember what I was doing. I need more details. I have a whole box of ink stamps and without rewatching I won’t know which one I used. I doubt there’s a link, I haven’t bought stamps in eons and eons. So when you have a question give me as much detail as you can and then I’ll hopefully have more of an idea. Xxx

[@juliadroy1179]

What did you sit your loaf on. Off to do my loaf waiting for starter to finish rising. Love the vlog, see you tomorrow xx

[@talesfromcuckooland]

When I put the loaf in the oven? The sliding chopping board thing? Or what I cooked the loaf on? It went on a hot cast iron skillet. X

[@juliadroy1179]

@@talesfromcuckooland I think it was a round silicon thing

[@talesfromcuckooland]

That’s a reusable cake tin liner. It helps the loaf slide off the chopping board. X

[@juliadroy1179]

@@talesfromcuckooland thank you it looked so easy to slide the loaf into the oven I'm defiantly going to get one of those. Xx

[@alicemerray]

People ask about your make-up because it looks GREAT!

[@CountanceD]

I learned a great tip for doing squats. I was told to imagine you’re trying to sit on a chair that’s a bit too far behind you. You have to reach with your bum to get to it. I guess it helps keep your knees in a better position.

[@lavenderlaceladylavenderla5420]

If you do a deconstruction and make a pattern, can I copy it? Xx

[@fraukehth8451]

Hubby and I have an app on our phones to check the ingredients of soap, shampoo, deodorant and so on in the shops. You just scan the barcode and the app will tell you about hormones or critical chemicals, it’s brilliant. If there is an product that is not found you can send them a photo and if there is some critical stuff in an product they provide you with the contact of that brand so that you can reach out to them. luxuries and expensive products are often the badest ones! It’s so sad to read which impact these things have when it comes to cancer or infertility, not to speak about mother nature. I am making a lot of oils for my face or handcreme and so on myself these days, it works really well. My cosmetic brand is Lavera, a German natural brand and I am not dying my hair for years now Thanks for vlogging, Gayna, it was a pleasure to drink my morning coffee with you 😘 PS: we all look different than in our twenties ;) you are beautiful!

So nice visiting with you. Gardening……yuck! I do love the outcome however just not the sweaty and on-going work to get it started and to keep it nice. My dear you have waaaaay more than I could possibly handle.

[@eileentarrant9876]

Didn’t know you wore hearing aids ? I know exactly what you mean ,the only time i ware mine at home is for the telly (why do they whisper ) in the car when my keys clank it sounds like a gun shot also if I leave mine fully open for a weak the batteries are dead ? 😡🤦

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I love them but I’m selective about when I wear them. 👂

[@bionance]

thank you for the vlog, very enjoyable as usual. i just wanted to comment, in the interest of fairness, that at the beginning you said, somewhat in disbelief, that women are subjected to 'something like 700 chemicals that our body doesn't know what to do with, through all our beauty products'... when actually, We subject Ourselves to these chemicals, by *choosing* products with harmful chemicals - quite a bit of a difference, yes? that companies are still using these harmful chemicals is another matter entirely, but we do - still! - have choice! sorry if this sounds niggly, but it hit a nerve with me - obvo...thanks again for the vlog.

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I didn’t phrase it the way I meant. I meant “often unknowingly”. I didn’t know until recently and so I am making changes. I didn’t realise it was so many different chemicals, that’s where the disbelief would have come in. Now that I know I do have the choice. I hope that my brief comment may have made some others stop and think when they slather on their bodies.

[@christinemarsden2157]

Absolutely rubbish at counting, my dear : D xx
