Making videos for YouTube is fun, tedious, and exasperating all at once. I like to collect the "bloopers" from various videos over the months to let you know that everything does not always go smoothly in front of the camera...



Grandfather clocks chime at inopportune times, babies spit up, minds go blank, and laughter often gets in the way... which is never a bad thing.

I've also included some family outtakes in today's video and the world's cutest YouTube star asks you to subscribe to my channel. (How could you resist?)

My friends featured in the video are: Shannon Ables, Kim from Free to Family, and Nikki Moreno.

I hope today's video brings you joy.

On Facebook, Karen D. writes: "My upbringing didn’t allow for refining a girl into a woman but oddly enough, I’m learning it from you. It was always in there, I just needed someone to polish it. Thank you Jennifer, you’ve helped me more than you know. Merry Christmas✝️"

Merry Christmas, Karen. Your note meant so much to me. Thank you.



I hope you enjoyed the bloopers today and that they gave you a good laugh. See you on Monday for my Christmas Eve message before going on a two week break.

My interview series continues with the delightful Shannon Ables from the wildly popular Simply Luxurious Life blog. Shannon and I met four years ago when I was a guest on her podcast series. She has always been such a wonderful supporter of the Madame Chic books.



Since our podcast interview, Shannon published her first book, Choosing the Simply Luxurious Life and in today's interview we discuss her second book, Living the Simply Luxurious Life, which was just released this week!




Shannon and I discuss her new book, the world of blogging, challenging cultural norms, finances, productivity, signature style, and so much more.

I hope you enjoy today's interview.

The book on productivity (whose title eluded me during the interview) was Deep Work by Cal Newport.



I thoroughly enjoyed my chat with Shannon and I hope you enjoy today's video.

I have given 2 baskets for birthdays and I'm gifting more baskets for Christmas. Thank you Jennifer, and thanks to Bend Soap Co. for their outstanding products."

Hi Carrie, I'm so happy you loved the Bend Soap review. I am giving their baskets for Christmas too. They make the perfect gift!
