NEW MAKEUP | WHY I WENT TO THE ER | NEW CLASSIC STYLE PIECES | NIKOL JOHNSON

[@kellyrouse758]

Our son was sick for 17 years. We learned to always ask questions, especially if you don't understand the procedures or why they are necessary. Always, always have an advocate with you. Never ever be sorry for asking questions. It saved our son, more than once, from unnecessary treatments, and once from doing something that would have killed him. Love your channel and how you inspire and lift women up. Bless you.

[@maryheath3810]

Nikol, I cannot begin to tell you how good it is to just sit down and watch your videos. So relaxing. I feel like we are girlfriends. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am 72 and always prided myself on being put together well. My MIL, whom I loved, lived with us for the last 3 years of her life, then I had surgery for cervical cancer. I am doing well, but the radiation has destroyed looks. I feel unseen most of the time. Thank you for giving me hope, and all of the makeup tips! I will never look like I did , but I can make the most of who I am right now! God Bless you, Nikol.

[@barbarachew6618]

Keep the coat, it looks great on you (as does everything else)!! You’re great, inspire me and make me smile…….and don’t let the negative goons get to you! Unbelievable.

[@1961Lara]

Stay strong. Cancer/surgery changes how you look, but not who you are. I had breast cancer, radiation, and three surgeries in 2018-20. I feel like I look a lot older, but I feel better now. It has just taken me quite a while to get back into my life. I hope you feel better!

Nikol, thank you for speaking the truth about all the negativity in comment sections. I really don't know what has happened to women over the last few years. Why are we attacking each other? We need to support and praise each other, or just move on if something doesn't float your boat. I have 2 daughters, one 26 and one 28. I hate all of this for them. So much daily anxiety. You keep being you. You bring me such joy with your videos. Thank you Nikol.

@@SharonSchmidt-rz8im I would agree. I've been a PICU RN for 37 years and feel for people that have no one with medical knowledge in their circle.

@@lenieamels1270An advocate is simply someone who can ask the doctor questions (you may not have thought of); stand up for you (and say “no” to something if necessary) when you may not have the ability to stand up for yourself.

After watching your channel for a while, I've finally trained myself to apply my eye makeup before my foundation. It's such a better way to do to makeup. I liked the colors you used today-- very pretty! I'm so glad your father is OK, and I'm glad you were able to advocate for him. Blood transfusions can save lives, but really they are a liquid organ transplant, and shouldn't be administered routinely because of possible rejection issues. When I worked in a hospital years ago, the entire nursing staff on our unit was always very nervous after giving blood to patients. Reactions can be severe and deadly. Thanks again for a very informative and encouraging video! These Monday morning videos from you are a nice way to start the week! Also, your skin looks fabulous today!

I am a now retired physician (radiologist). I was the sole care giver for my mother in our home for the last two and a half years of her life. Sadly she passed away two years ago age 93. She had many chronic conditions so I spent much time in doctor’s offices, the ER, and hospitals with her. I discovered so many discrepancies in her care. On the way home I would just shake my head and wonder what happens to patients without an advocate? All I can conclude is a good deal of them do not get better or even die. I am so very glad you were there for your father and that you had the courage to challenge strange lab results. I adore your channel and its philosophy of helping women of all ages to look the best they can without surgery or procedures. I just turned 70 last month and fantasize about you helping me. I have learned much from your channel. Keep up the excellent work. About the coat, it is not something I could pull off. Love the faux fur on neck and cuffs but not a fan of the broad strip of it around the hem. You look marvelous in everything! You are so right, how a person is inside is where it’s at.

[@susanstancliff2937]

Keep your coat! So pretty! I admire you, asking your Dr questions and doing another test. It’s always good to double check if you’re the least bit concerned.

You covered so many things in this video! I love the coat!!! Getting a second opinion for your Frenchy is a great idea!!! 6 months is plenty of time for the current vet to have figured out something. I am so glad you spoke up for you Dad. My Daddy is 88 years old and you story touched my heart. In my family we have many stories of family members speaking up for those who are sick and saving them time, trauma and even their life. I often think that those who spew their negativity, often need the light of truth to shine upon them. They have gotten away with their ugly behavior for so long they think it is “their right”, when really it just shows us who they are. I remember the “good ole days”, when the common practice was: “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” One can only hope that by holding up a mirror to their ugliness they will begin to see what the rest of us see. You and your family (including your fur baby) will be in my prayers.

[@NikolJohnson]

Yes I saw this that night, I don’t know if it’s because they have become callous from their job and dealing with not so happy/sick/difficult patients but it’s part of the job. Or maybe they don’t like their job or just are unhappy.

[@Katiekay.]

@@NikolJohnson the burnout in a high traffic Emergency Department is always a factor…. But yeah ED nurses are usually a bit jaded and just kinda “rough” ( you might be too sweet and kind to be around those types…. I think you found your calling and you nurture and care for so many people in a equally as important way with your channel and its positive message of self love. I know it’s disheartening, but I promise not all of us are this careless…. It could also be a laboratory error but the chain of custody is very simple and it’s so critical I’m horrified. The nurse or tech draws blood and immediately labels it and sends it directly to the lab. This is worth notifying the hospital about because had it been overlooked and he was given a transfusion with the incorrect blood type it could be fatal and other serious reactions… Your dad is very blessed to have a daughter like you. You would have been given a “close call” award if you caught this error as a member of the bedside care staff 🌈☀️💐💐. Xoxo

So pleased your father is okay. Our daughter had emergency surgery last week and I rushed her to ER, she ended up with an appendectomy, and I was her advocate because she’s never had surgery.

Nicole, it’s me again. Listening to your story about your dad.

I had to have a blood transfusion. My hemoglobin was down to four, but I have a hernia that rubs my diaphragm and bleeds. but at my age, repairing a hernia is kind of scary to me. And they say the recovery is quite hard so at my age I have decided to go ahead with the iron infusions and keep my blood up. Thank God you were there for your father. You’re a good daughter honey.

Omg thank God you spoke up at the ER. I am my mom's health advocate and I know that doctors are not very good at accepting there may be a mistake. Good for you❤❤ I love that base, I use it all the time even for work and change up jacket & scarfs. .it's so New York ❤ The coat is reminiscent of the 60s London fashion wave. I love it.

Hey Nicole, I hope your father is doing better now and I hope you’re trying to recover and rest yourself because we do a lot of stuff and a lot of people need you and you need to take care of you self-care self also to be your father’s advocate or your mother‘s advocate health advocate is a must. I’m very glad that you highlighted this information situation that happened to your father becausewho knows what could have happened and there you were and the nick of time asking for a second test ,no shame you gotta do what you feel right ,I hope he’s doing well you as well and I love that eye shadow and your fashion sense love love it . ❤

Nikol, I watch you often and learn so much. I am 72 and do not want to get stuck in that look that was popular in my youth like so many women do. You are an absolute delight. My Mom who was my best friend while still being my mother, would tell you that those negative comments are from those who are jealous of your success. There are so many supportive girlfriends; we do not need any of the negative ones. You bring so much fun and joy to what you do. Very true about hospitals. I live in SWFL and understand the heat and humidity. However, if you can use the coat,; it is a yes. It has drama, in a good way.

What a relaxing time spent with you. Thanks for sharing. Loved the makeup and the coat.

[@lizvalentyne8659]

You are my inspiration. Your outlook, your beautiful makeup and vintage clothing...You inspire me to be better and look better! Id love a video on how you search for your vintage clothing ...I find it so interesting.

Yes! An advocate is so important! I learned that from taking care of my mother who had a brain tumor. Ask as many questions as you need and don’t let the medical professionals intimidate you. I had to push a lot for the best care for my mother all during COVID. Thank you for the real talk. Your channel is fabulous.

[@garystone8539]

Keep the coat! I enjoyed the video today! My husband did, too! I’m thankful your dad is okay. ♥️

[@elizabethdeleo3123]

Thank you for being so enjoyable. I have learned a lot here and being an 83 year old clothes horse, look forward to your videos. I will keep the good thought for your Frenchie. We have one. He is a brindle . Having bred , shown and trained dogs all my life, I have found this breed, to be surprisingly intelligent. Much like some of the working and terrier breeds, known for their brains.

You listened to your intuition and were willing to take action. That's fantastic, Nicole! Our intuition is in our gut and too often we are afraid to speak up. You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing your dad's story and i know you'll help others. I just love how intentional you are. And i love the lipstick!

[@connieshutts7074]

I love the closet..a wonderful finishing touch to your makeup tutorials. You are beautiful inside and out!😊😊

[@survivingwithshelly5250]

Good for you being an advocate! As my husband’s full time caregiver I’ve had to learn to “trust my gut” with healthcare. We have a great team but still question if it feels off. They do work for us and are practicing medicine.

[@momliverpool1150]

You are so gracious and likable! Thank you.

[@NeenitaSwarner]

Beautiful! Love the look, the fashion show and so happy for you and your parents that your father is better and that your "spidey senses", a.k.a. discernment, alerted you at the ER. God is so Good! God bless you, Nikol. ❤

[@Lavendarfox7266]

The eye shadow and lip colors are GORGEOUS!!!

[@kathleenkumiega1092]

I love to watch you put on the makeup and talk to us. Thank you. The results is so beautiful. You’ll look fabulous in NY with that great coat.
