Vlogmas Day Seven

[@KTquiltsandsews]

Your face is fresh and energized Ruan...so pretty...glad that you treat yourself to facials and some housework help and ironing help. You work full time and definitely deserve it. I'm enjoying your Vlogmas days and glad you are feeling better. Happy holidays to you and your family. xx Karen

The new necklace is beautiful! I miss doing the kids birthday parties and such (now that those years are over ha); at the time they were exhausting! I had two boys, and the worst was a sleepover!

[@SewMyTime]

Fantastic calendars this year. Serious FOMO here😂😂. And wow Storm Darragh!! I was one of the millions who got the phone alert - really scary when it goes off. Didn’t leave the house yesterday but thank goodness all okay here. Dress looking good and you really can’t see that tuck in that fabric so violence not required 😂😂😂😂😂. You make me smile. 😊 Lynne

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh bless ya. So glad you’re all safe though xx

[@chrissycrompton7585]

I love watching you open your advent calendars Ruan, you're always so excited 😊. Your skin looks gorgeous! ....and i think definitely a contrasting label for the black bag. I can't wait to see it - and your black dress.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Aww thank you so much x

So glad you had a great sleep. Thank you for sharing the info about your rosacea. I also have that and have difficulty treating it with other skin allergies. I love your advent calendars.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

No problem. If you ever want any more details you can message me on instagram 👍🏼

I am following now for a while your posts and I’m having so much fun! We don’t have this expression in California but when I hear you say it ( in all your videos…haha) “ what do we think” I find it so cuuuuute I might start using this expression myself….haha

Ruan your skin is beautiful. You do not even need to wear makeup. Glad you had a great time.

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh thank you!

[@SEWDOITEMMA]

Looking fabulous Ruan, I think I need to get a facial booked in for next year - been yonks since I had one. I’m surprised you haven’t driven over to Rachel’s yet to get your caddy - I probably would have 😂 I know it’s a bit of a drive but I couldn’t settle 😂 your lbd is looking great … starting on my dress today!

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Ha ha. I’ve been tempted to drive over. I’m holding out though 💪

Ruan, fellow rosacea sufferer here. I am at least 20 years older than you but yes, unscented everything (and everybody) really helps flares. I am like a Vampire and my face literally start smoking in direct sunlight, even through car windows! So as I age, I got window shades for the car, anything to keep the burning off my face. Eventually my mom and I got little broken capillaries and would go together to the Dermatologist once a year to get things burnt off, like dark spots. But 2 years ago I tried the IPL treatment for broken capillaries, general aging/wrinkles, and rosacea sensitivity. I will tell you, the treatment didn't bother me, it felt like a rubber band snap but there is an exciting 2-4 days of after care/down time. My daughter is a make up artist and said that she could really see a big difference in my skin for almost 2 years! It is supposed to be done yearly and can help rosacea flares & sensitivity. You might look into it through your dermatologist when you need skin care as you get older. I am doing it again in January & will be more ready & clear about the after care :D I might have not read all the papers. I will this time! because my skin looked plump and smooth and without dark spots or broken cappilaries for almost 2 years. Not a bad trade off for 3-4 days of owies. Maybe just day drink and sleep it off ;D

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

That’s amazing. So glad it worked for you. Skin is so complicated sometimes and it’s always different for everyone isn’t it!

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

You look lovely with or without make-up! Watching this after shoveling and salting the driveway, is it too early to be done with winter? I will always curse the fact that my parents emigrated to Canada instead of someplace warm. 😁

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh bless ya! Go you 💪🏼

[@christinebeaudoin8703]

Ruan, I have a sign that says “ there’s a special place in heaven for the mother of 2 boys “ I say, boys are so fun! Enjoy this time it goes so fast. 😊

[@patriciaweekes2291]

Thankyou I too am the mother of two boys so love that ❤

It’s so annoying isn’t it. Azaelic acid was a game changer for me x

[@karolmolpus9536]

What acyclic acid do you use daily?

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

I use the one from Face Theory honey.. www.facetheory.com/gb-en/products/blemicalm-azelaic-acid-15-clarifying-serum

Jazzy pajamas. Did you make them?

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

No they’re ready to made I’m afraid!

[@rachelgarnsey7953]

Can I ask, when you say “t’husband” - is that a Yorkshire thing, or a Ruan thing? Asking for an Australian friend….

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

It’s a Yorkshire thing 😄. We’re too lazy to say “the” so we shorten it to “t” 😂

[@rachelgarnsey7953]

@@theyorkshiresewgirl sounds very Aussie, shortening things! 😂😂

Cheeky trip to xscape?

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Yes. Laserzone for jacks birthday 🎁

[@theoccasionalstitcher]

Your skin looks lovely and dewy. I used the Skin+Me daily doser which has reduced my redness. I bought an LED mask too but it just seems to make my face hot and even more flushed 🫣

[@theyorkshiresewgirl]

Oh no really? Skin is so complicated sometimes isn’t it!
