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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

AWE! Thank you for the lovely compliment.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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 !!!

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

love simple and basic :) thank you connie murphy

I love Dr. Bronner’s soaps!

What a lovely natural lady ☺️

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

I like your natural face routine….so authentic!

Sweet sweet Connie!

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!!😰🎋

I love the body brush tip!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 😊

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

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

Thanks for sharing good stuff

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!)

Lovely info. Thank you ❣️🥰

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!

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

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....

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.

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

Connie you are so inspiring and really walk your talk wrt simple living! We love your body butter and now I want to try your hair care regimen! My husband has Parkinson's and terrible neuropathy in his feet. I was buying a very expensive neuropathy cream and the active ingredients were Menthol, tea tree oil, and Arnica Gel that was $60 for a 4 oz jar. I whipped up a jar of your body butter and added tea tree oil, Arnica Gel and Vicks mentholatum to it and it has worked even better than the expensive cream! I am pleased because I figured that jar cost me around $1 and is so simple to make and replace! I am really getting a lot of value from your Channel! Thank you!

@gailtester8749 - I hope that you and your husband are doing well; wanted to mention that heavy metal chelation (various substances, various modes of administration including DIY creams and even simpler methods) may improve his situation if clearing toxins is one of his underlying issues. Darko Velcek's youtube channel and blog also has some interesting insight, and he has at least one video on utilizing one of my favorite detoxifiers as needed during his extremely natural ''plasma'' hydration-detox recommendations.

I also quit using expensive shampoo and conditioner (Aveda) after watching this Japanese dermatologist's KZread 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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

i love kiehls, yes i agree , less is more

I love skinnies sunscreen

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

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

I’m in Australia I use Australian brand sukin.

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

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!

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.

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

I am a 69 year old male with skin discoloration, and I do minimal, love Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, 2 times a week I use the Cera Ve for bumpy skin as a exfoilator, and have never found a better tint than, Bare Minerals SPF 30, I also love the Neutrogena 60!

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.

🙌🙌🙌 yes! I also wash my hair with baking soda and vinegar. Been doing it for 7 years or so and love it. And I only wash my hair once a week. It barely gets greasy at the end of the week. Sometimes doesn’t at all. I’ve been washing my hair once a week also for about 7 years. I have long hair and this works great. Before, when I washed it everyday, it would get greasy by nighttime. So cool hearing about your similar hair routine. Also I’m excited to try some of your skin care habits. Love learning about simple and natural skin routines. Simple especially. Don’t have the patience for too many steps. A face SPF: I just recently started using Ilia’s tinted face oil. It’s a zinc spf and the oils are nourishing for your skin. I do also use the heavier/oilier sunscreens but the Ilia tinted spf is not like that. It’s so light. I don’t notice it at all. Super happy using it. Also your skin looks great!! I definitely noticed how good your skin looks when I first watched one of your videos. (I’ve been binge watching your channel 😸.) thank you for the great content you’re making: genuine & helpful. 🙏
