Beauty is personal to each unique individual. Only you know what makes you feel beautiful. These are the things I do that work for me, they might work for you too.

[@kimdavis665]

I think I heard on one of your videos that you cut your own hair! I cut my son's and husband's hair, but not my own. Could you do a video on how you cut your hair? It is so cute!

[@RefreshwithDawn]

I second that notion! Would love to see.

[@user-mz9ew3ce8r]

Q​@@RefreshwithDawn

[@shivangiagrawal2665]

I love how she is using such minimal amount of products. Seriously less is more. I've seen influencers taking out insane amount of products which are harder to blend in or wash out.

[@traceyszostek6264]

Connie! I just discovered you and your videos!!! Your videos are so educational, calming and fabulous!!! Thank you! ❤️

[@MichaelSmith-gh4yg]

Thank you so much , I am a 74 year old man and I have enjoyed every one of your videos. You have a way of opening a persons eyes . Thanks

[@bex438]

Thanks for sharing your hair and skincare routine Connie, I'm definitely going to try some of these out.

[@najujan]

Thank you! I love the natural ingredients and money saved.

[@ellabeyer7035]

Your feminine beauty shines through you beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

[@shannonjackson576]

I love Dr. Bronner’s soaps!

[@cherylsorensen4451]

Hi Connie - Enjoyed this video except for exfoliating with baking soda. I’m a little older than you so my skin tends to be dry. What I use (when I think of it!) is simply egg white from one egg. I whisk it so it’s frothy then I use my clean fingers to dab it onto my clean skin. I leave it on for about 1/2 hour (you will feel it tightening), then I rinse off with water. If your skin tends to be dry, you can add a teaspoon of honey to the egg white. Leaves your skin smooth and clean.

[@conniemurphyover70stillgla47]

love simple and basic :) thank you connie murphy

[@marylopez3081]

Your videos are very peaceful. Thank you for sharing!

[@hclutten]

Thank you, I haven’t used shampoo or conditioner in maybe 15 years. I make my own Castile soap bars and use that for my body wash and hair, I dilute apple cider vinegar with water and give my hair a few squirts after washing. I dilute the about 30ml of vinegar with a litre of water so generally I don’t rinse it out. My hair is thick and healthy. I’m going to make your body butter it sounds great. I do a lot of international travel and I find my skin gets very dry, pure olive oil rubbed in seems to be much better than any commercial products.

[@nancyreyes5219]

I like your natural face routine….so authentic!

[@karenlocascio5505]

I just discovered your videos and love your minimalistic views on life and self care. Your voice is so calming and addictive. I will be watching from now on. Thanks for all the information!

[@judymccord871]

Love this video! Please make more like this including make up, please!

[@katereznikov8792]

Connie is absolutely wonderful. I am so happy I discovered her videos. Love her soft, pleasant voice, gentle manners and of course her routine and tips are great things to follow.

[@sac.777]

Thanks for info, especially the natural formulas ❣️ Have a blessed day and life🙏🏼☮️💕

[@CT-lo9ot]

Thank you for the tips. Every time I watch your videos I think “wow, she has such beautiful skin and eyes!”

[@neelimakothuri]

Your videos are so inspiring. Love to watch them.

[@francescagisellalayzell6718]

What a lovely natural lady ☺️

[@ruthmonico4204]

Your videos really may me to feel so so happy 😊!!!!! Thanks a lot 💕☀️🙏

[@PeaceLoveAndButterflies]

I loved this, thank you, for your honesty.x

[@alexandramartinez5505]

Thank you for sharing your beauty secrets. I loved them and I will try ALL of them 🤗

[@Dee-iw6up]

Thank you, Connie. Will definitely be trying the shampoo and conditioner. 😊🌻

[@shirleyfrederickson4794]

Connie I enjoy your channel so much! I recently started exfoliating with baking sofa and am excited to make your body butter. Thank you for sharing your routine 😊

[@margitivanyi6039]

It was so interesting to me when I first saw a US friend washing her hair everyday. We/I used to wash it once a week, and now about the same as Connie. Every 3-5 days depending on its condition.

[@katrinao8902]

Hi Connie! I just discovered your channel and am loving it! I would recommend trying Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen. It feels like a makeup primer, doesn’t clog my pores, has a spf 40 which can be harder to find for my fair skin, and is clear so no faux pas of missing a spot rubbed in.

[@greatesttoysevermade3693]

Sweet sweet Connie!

[@DemetriPanici]

I’ve been improving my self-care this year and skin care is so important! Great video

[@BilalDemiroglu]

May this beautiful new year bring love and happiness to you and your unique beautiful soul, your beautiful soul deserves love and happiness, my dear friend, I wish you all the best, happy and beautiful years......

[@marylouschubert2974]

Lovely info. Thank you ❣️🥰

[@privat5316]

I love Eco cosmetics sun cream! We have the toned one for years and also the one for kids, which I like to use on my face.

[@cassandram6126]

Thanks for sharing

[@yelenakozorezov6587]

Thanks for sharing good stuff

[@McDermottFamily100]

I can hardly wait to try all of these products, especially the homemade ones! Could you share your makeup routine as well? Love, love your channel!

[@pamelachia9142]

Hi Connie, I like your DIY recipes. Thanks for sharing them!

[@ConnieRiet]

You are so welcome!

[@anniecochrane3359]

Thank you. I found your video cut right through all the chaos of skin care products, claims and advertising. In checking out the serums and cleansers I find that a New Zealand company called Essano make products with the same or similar ingredients, so I'll be purchasing from them, and using your home made recipes also for hair and body butter. Just what I needed.

[@connie4906]

I love the body brush tip!

[@ConnieRiet]

It's so good!

[@jackiev920]

Hi yes a natural sunscreen completely clean would be crunchie or Young Living

[@lanemaund5097]

Thanks 🇬🇧

[@victoriap4335]

This is the 1st time to your channel...exactly what I needed! I moved across country 3 years ago after retiring. I said then I was going to become. 'Minimalist' after owning a 5,000 sq ft home and Tons of Stuff!! I find myself gradually becoming more n more Materialistic. I pray your channel helps me to reverse this trend!!😰🎋

[@dianenoonan2068]

Thank you Connie for your wonderful tips. I am going to try all of your suggestions. I just cannot use anything that is not cruelty free anymore either.

[@odalis6177]

Your hair looks great. Can you do a video of a DIY haircut? Thanks

[@isobelward1431]

Glad to find another person who uses Apple cider vinager as their conditioner. People think it's so weird 😆 it helped so much with my dry, itchy scalp. Since using it I've never had a problem and my hair is so clean and bright and healthy

[@vanessaJeans]

This is a great video. You look amazing. I been getting into natural skincare recently as my skin is very sensitive to fragrances and SLS. I am going to try to make that homemade body butter. It's sounds nice. Thanks for sharing your routine.

[@marcellaanderson6245]

I just started following your channel and love it. Thanks for helping simplify life! Do you use the Retinol serum in the am as well as pm? I thought retinol was for evening use only. Just trying to get the routine down. Thanks.

[@rachelruiz8399]

VERY NICE TIPS 👍

[@eljardindeleden10]

Hello Connie, you can look Ringana . Their cosmetics are naturals. I love their facial suncream protector. Zero chemicals. A greeting.

[@thehealthjunkie8996]

Great video. I also have stopped using regular toothpaste and buy a very simple/healthy one with no nasties, especially flouride. Skin brushing is good isn't it I must remember to do this each day. Also I stopped using suncream after doing some research I found that zinc is so good and never burn. Great tips on the haircare too. I also make my own surf salt spray too to give my hair texture and body🙏

[@GodiscomingBhappy]

you look amazing, you irradiate health. i am torn with only one thing. I have read somewhere that sunblocks are full of bad chemicals and that blocking the sun also blocks that vital vitamine D... it is true my skin has some expression lines but overall if one's skin is not too fair or sensitive I prefer to stay away from sunblocks.

[@cindyvandyke6562]

Hi Connie - love your videos and life perspectives. Can you tell me which products/colors you use from Burts Bees makeup line? We have similar coloring. Thanks!

[@Kayyy8585]

Definitely switch to a natural toothpaste like Boka or Risewell! Also a natural sunscreen like Hynt Sun Prep ! As for hair care - the brand under Luna is incredible and all natural. For skincare, the brand Kossma is the best ever !!!

[@MissLi78293]

Thank for the alternatives to schampoo and conditioner! Love from Sweden

[@ConnieRiet]

Glad you like them!

[@marielle2066]

You look stunning with your grey hair. As for natural sunscreen, I’ve been using 100% Pure Yerba Maté SPF 30. It’s the only sunscreen that doesn’t cause breakouts for me.

[@papillonbleu721]

Love your channel! I’d like to know what makeup you use. ❤

[@user-bf8mn5pf3k]

Thank you for your personal insights, they are very helpful! On another note; part of feeling one's best in their home, is living in a serene home, which paint color contributes. Do you remember what paint color are on your walls?

[@Sigute444]

Hi Connie! I have subscribed to your channel because Of your soothing personality and knowledge sharing is appreciated ! You are a very beautiful and inspiring young woman! God bless 🙏🏻 keep it up! 👍❤️

[@ConnieRiet]

Thanks for subbing! Thank you for your very kind words! Sending you happiness & peace

[@sonypix01]

Hi Connie, still waiting for that make-up video from you. Appreciated!

[@beckykueng3017]

I enjoyed this video and so I wondered if you could suggest some cosmetics ( mostly eye make up and foundations) that you use to achieve your natural makeup look. Your skin looks lovely and so does your makeup and hair.

[@jackelynaragongomez4125]

Hello Connie, really nice and useful tips, thanks for your channel, I love it.

[@ConnieRiet]

Thanks so much!

[@leselle777]

Hello I am from the Caribbean. On my face I use organic cold press coconut oil and aloe vera and take vit c and a for skin health. Sunshine is needed for vit d in the morning....

[@marie-clairekeen3023]

I really enjoy these videos.

[@PenniP]

I use organic coconut oil for eye make up remover. Works great and is extremely economical.

[@ms1295]

I avoid washing my face ( unless I wash my hair that day) and instead use some witch hazel on a cotton pad to clean it. It helps that I don’t wear makeup- so there’s less to clean ;) my skin feels great because I don’t strip it from natural oils.I sometimes use face oil from Badger for moisturizing (love their products!)

[@regina3866]

I use the biöre sunscreen 50 water essence. This feels like just a moisturizer I can promise you 😇 sometimes when it’s summer I just wear my sunscreen and I’m ready to go

[@ca6177]

Thanks, I appreciate the tips! I use cliganic jojoba oil in the am and pm. I am always looking for simple care routines, so I appreciate today's tips. I also quit coloring my hair, so it's gray, too. I never heard of using Castille soap with baking soda before as a shampoo. I have mixed regular shampoo with baking soda, and it worked fine. Would any Dr Bronners soap work, or does it have to be the one you use? Thanks

[@JandTheBodyguard]

I use Solban from Idea Labs- a combo of Aspirin, Niaminicide and Caffeine as a sunscreen

[@robertashaffer3950]

Hi Connie! Talk about timing! I was explaining to a friend today that as I finish a product, whether for myself personally or for the house, laundry, etc, my intention is to replace each one with a home made product. I love your natural routine for your face & hair! Do you do the same for your household products? Thank you!

[@danielalynch3871]

I’m in Australia I use Australian brand sukin.

[@jmmatt7]

Thanks for the great tips! I use organic coconut oil, but will try your recipe for the moisturizer!

[@ConnieRiet]

Hope you like it!

[@kati1017]

I love preparations that include emu oil for my face. It enlivens my skin a lot when I put it on before bed. People say I look younger than my age. I think it's the reason. I also like Naked Bee facial SPF 30 lotion. It absorbs well and has Vitamin C in it. And lots of yummy sleep, like you said, preferably with soft purry kitties nearby.

[@alexandrabrandt6687]

Thank you Connie as always for the lovely video. I always feel enlightened after listening to you. Love your hair , please post a video of how you do it yourself. You look truly lovely. Greetings from Toronto

[@ConnieRiet]

AWE, Thanks so much Alexandra. Yes, hair video is on the list.

[@lindsayhall6773]

Trinny London BFF spf30 face cream. Trinny now does SPF50 face cream called "see the light" x

[@erikast1990]

You can use sugar for peeling it works great😊

[@kathleenbutler9967]

Great video and great tips!! Glad I found your channel...trying to be more ecological and using natural products...so very very helpful!

[@ConnieRiet]

So glad!

[@50X262]

I also quit using expensive shampoo and conditioner (Aveda) after watching this Japanese dermatologist's KZbin video of naturally regrowing hair. Since he was not selling anything and simply suggested that I quit using those expensive products, I immediately stopped using Aveda. The first 30-days were not pleasant as I could small that dirty hair odor on my self and pillow. But when that phase ended, my hair was so healthy and I didn't lose as much hair any longer. You were so right about using natural products on your hair and skin. I am also a kid of the glorious 80's. However, that vibe still remains within myself as long as I stay true to myself. You are the epitome of such practice. Looking forward to your Yoga incorporated videos if possible. Thank you for the wonderful advices!

[@lynnj3490]

Lovely video! Thank you for sharing - you are such an inspiration, we have a lot in common. Minimalism, mindfulness, simplicity, natural products. I was intrigued by the InstaNatural products - cruelty free! Citrus! Collections - and ordered them. Came quickly - yesterday - and like how balanced my skin feels already. I’m 72 and so far lucky to have good skin. Only downside to the products was funny - my kitties don’t like the smell citrus, lol. Appreciate your channel so much. Do one on your makeup routine sometime, I’d love to see that. You look so bright and beautiful.

[@ConnieRiet]

Hey Lynn! I'm thrilled that you like the product so far. LOL your cats don't love the smell. Great video idea. I'll put it on the list. Sending you happiness & peace

[@paulinecallahan6888]

Wow! You're video really spoke to my heart. I am on a journey to find natural minimal products and learning to love my true inner self. Thank you for sharing 💕 btw you are stunningly Beautiful.

[@ConnieRiet]

Hi Pauline! Thank you so much. I love how you said, "learning to love my true inner self." Beautifully put!

[@withervillage7983]

I don't know how natural it is, but I like trader joes sunscreen.

[@Shewizardxx]

Try forest essentials’s tender coconut sun fluid

[@nancygreen4201]

I just started using the Dr bronners shampoo, hoping that it works for me.

[@sallyclay1974]

I use olive oil on my face, twice a day, Loriel skin creams, collagen , triple Revitalift, night cream, and plumpers. Retinol and hydrocolic acid. I put honey on my eggo waffles and fruit. I use keraton shampoo.

[@mrsdavidgomes]

Hello, Connie , I am new to your channel and am so blessed to hear of your practical and minimal ideas. Less is more. You have a very pleasant and peaceful manner and I am going to wash my hair with your shampoo this morning. I am next going to make your body cream.. thank you again. A grateful subscriber.

I am always on the search for a natural mineral sun screen…the best I have found so far is the La Roche Posay tinted sunscreen…..But always looking.

[@dorisday5871]

So refreshing to listen to your recommendations and thank you for providing recipes without the hard sell and sponsored promotions.

[@ConnieRiet]

I'm so glad you are part of our mindful community! Thank you for being here. Happiness & Peace

[@terrysmith5868]

I am simplifying my skin care routine and woredrobe. I started using grapeseed oil on my face after washing and it looks so much better! Two steps and that is it! It soaks right into my skin, is moisurized and gives it a dewey look. I cant use retinol as my skin is too sensitve, so I decided to just embrace my wrinkles. I am 58 with acne prone sensitive skin.

[@dreamasue]

Hello ! I’m new to your channel & thanks for all the great ideas ! ❤️

[@ConnieRiet]

Welcome to our mindful community! I'm glad you are here.

[@susanp2349]

Makeup products? Also RMS beauty sunscreen is very clean beauty, natural and works well. Made the skin cream. Best ever. Thank you

[@Dayna_Bennett]

Hi Connie! New subbie here. Loving your vids! I don’t know how old you are, but you look stunning and radiant. Seeing your pretty hair makes me want to stop coloring mine. I’d save a lot of money. Definitely want to make your body butter and your shampoo and conditioner. You said you wash every 3-4 days. Me too. How many washes do you get from your recipe? Also, does the vinegar/water conditioner make your hair smell like vinegar? Do you ever add any essential oils to it or to your body butter?

[@sonia15702]

I just found your chanel and have subscribed ! I like your wholistic person centred being ! I'm from Australia! One thing, just to let you know, Neutrogena test on animals! That's high on my priority to avoid list !!! I hate this form of torture to poor animals. I'm also embracing no meat lifestyle. I have recently had some deaths in the family and look forward to self care videos from you ! Sonia, Sydney Australia

[@susier7766]

Great video today, Connie. I just finished watching the making of your "body butter" video and I'm also going to get the body brush. I've been wanting to stop buying expensive body and face products and this video is extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ConnieRiet]

So happy you enjoyed the video!

[@LucianaVIP1]

I've cut my own white hair for years. For the last two years I 've been meaning to drastically change the style and need to get it done by a professional, but can't find a good hair stylist. When I find one, you'll be the model😃 Love your hair! Fresh, youthful (as the whole of you are), easy to maintain.

[@ConnieRiet]

AWE! Thank you for the lovely compliment.

[@jessicamortensen1114]

Hi Connie, in one of your other videos you said you cut your own hair. Could you show us how you cut your own hair, the next time you do so, please? The back is especially difficult to cut, would love to see your technique. Thanks for sharing with us. Betty in Texas

[@ConnieRiet]

Great video Idea! I'll put it on the list.

[@debbiephillips6809]

I love your ideas, and I use coconut oil too. I also like Beauty by Earth tinted facial sunscreen, SPF 20, for sunscreen on my face.

[@ConnieRiet]

Thanks Debbie for the sunscreen tip!
