- I’m always fascinated by why people choose certain beauty products over others. Well, whilst my mother was in hospital, I explored her dressing table.

I'm a middle aged man and not even in the UK and I found this very interesting. I think it's a testament to your presenting skills and charisma. You could be talking about virtually any topic and it would have my attention. Thanks for the needed mental break today. And yes, I subscribed! And the rest of you should too.
Agreed. She could be scooping up handfuls of soil from her mum's garden and chatting about that. I'd still watch it. I love her enthusiasm.
What a compliment! Thankyou so much x
@@MiddleAgedMinx Keep being genuine and you'll get to 100K subscribers and beyond in no time. And don't feel embarrassed to ask. There is nothing wrong with constantly reminding your viewers to subscribe. I would suggest reminding near the beginning of a video (as not everyone always watches the whole thing) and *maybe* again at the end. Subscribing is the least people could do to thank you for all the effort you put in every week.
Poor Mutti, I hope she’s recovering. Whatever she’s used she’s looking fab for a lady of her years . We are all consumed with consumerism . Well done Mutti for knowing what works for you and sticking with it.
I've not washed my face since i was 12yr old, i am now 60. I cleanse with nivea lotion - smooth on face and remove with hot water rung out flannel - then also mousturise with Nivea lotion. Every couple weeks, i smooth Astral over face and neck, leave abt 5 mins then removd with hot water flannel. Everyone compliments me on my skin, i have no wrinkles to speak of and have never had spots or blemishes for all these years. Loved the video, it showed how much u enjoyed talking about your mum and her cosmetics, it went by to quickly. Hope your mum is improving, stay strong x
love this routine x
My mum used exactly the same products! I used to work on the toiletries and cosmetics counter in the seventies and would buy her all her stuff, and Yardley soaps at Christmas. She loved seeing what I'd bought on payday friday. Happy memories, she passed away eight years ago. Miss her. 😌
My dad passed away a few years back, and my mom never being a very demonstrative or vocal person with their feelings didn't outwardly have much of a reaction. I remember thinking at the funeral maybe she just really never cared for Dad. Mom died last year and while closing up the house I found a bottle of Aqua Velva, dad's cologne he wore every day, tucked into her scarf drawer. Scents are such memory keepers. I imagine Yardley soap will be yours.
Oh Beth ...they were never encouraged to be demonstrative....bet that Aqua Velva is very nostalgic for you
Lovely! My Mum lived till 96 and had skin like a 65 year old. All she used all her life was Ponds Cold Cream twice a day. Also Jergens Original lotion, which I still use. I remember Astral from when I was a student in Scotland in the 70’s; also the big Bronnley lemon soaps! 🍋 My Auntie’s bathroom in Scotland always had a dish of Bronnley soaps....I can still smell them!
Aww Jo that was so lovely and nostalgic. It put me in mind of my darling Great Grandma (1873-1969) , another no nonsense lady. She always used Bronnely soap, the one shaped exactly like a lemon. Lemon fresh perfume.....i have 2 in my bathroom soapdish right now ! (FOR SHOW !) Wishing your Mutti well ASAP.
Wishing your Mum a speedy recovery. Don’t forget your Mother knows everything you do!!!
My mum used soap (camay) n water to wash n oil of ulay. Never anything else. She was 8yrs older than her sister but at times looked younger.. My auntie used expensive creams n treatments. Sometimes simple is the best.
I love your mum, so down to earth with no airs and graces. No need for expensive stuff, just things she likes and why not!
God, your mum is adorable. Best wishes to her.
I remember Astral very well, I used it when I was a teenager a long long time ago. I hope Mutti is feeling better. 💕💕
Best wishes to your mum for a speedy recovery. I loved seeing her beauty products. Its a nice reminder that we don't always need to spend a small fortune on these things.
wish I realised that!!! x
I loved that, Jo. One of your most memorable vlogs. Your lovely Mum is so special. X
I hope your lovely Mum feels better soon. My Nan loved Yardley too, I knew it would be Yardley she loves! xx
My mother is 96 & has always used Ponds cold cream on her face. Also Yardley soap & talc, especially lavender, which I now seem to love. Thinking of you both.💕
I can still remember the smell of nivea and ponds cold cream my mum used them for years
The more you tell us about your Mum the more I love her!! She reminds me of my Mum who passed away about 3 years ago at the age of 94. She always used Astral cream and I remember when I was a child watching with fascination as she always rubbed into her face and wiped it off with a tissue. She did this every day about 4pm - and always in the kitchen between other jobs!! She also liked Badedas bath gel and we used to buy it for her for Christmas and birthdays until I discovered she could no longer get in the bath and was stockpiling it!!
I hate the smell of Johnsons baby powder by the way!!
Hope your Mum is recovering well. Lots of love to you both xxx
OMG! Badedas baths!
My mum used nivea as well. I remember astral and pond's !
My granny was a ponds lady and of course Olay.
chockycake1 my Gran used Oil of Olay and when she died at 100 yrs 6 mths the funeral director said he never seen such a wonderful complexion as hers.
Ponds cold cream
How lovely....what a charming insight in how beauty can be simple and in the end something that can’t be bought in a jar! Thank you Jo for sharing! 🙏🏼
she would be furious at me for doing this!
❤️ I know exactly how you feel. I was my folks caregiver
Now they're both "gone" and I miss them so much
I know you treasure your time with your Mom ❤️
Thanks Jo, my Mum is 88 and has fabulous skin, she has always used Astral.x
I think it IS fascinating it’s like anthropology. My grandma always smelled of White Rain hairspray. So glad she’s home recovering.
I can feel your mother's unease and frustration about 'causing all this fuss', but am so happy to hear that she is in the best of care and lots of love. Also so lovely to be able to visit your childhood room/house/garden, with so many memories.
Loved the midweek. I think you should not worry if your content will be interesting to watch - the subject is authentic and relatable and you are always a pleasure to listen to.
I loved this Jo, I love that you show such reverence to your mum, I know you say you like your nice things etc but underneath it all you do know the value of people and family!!☺️☺️
Oooh naughty naughty, giving away your Mum's secrets. You just can't trust your children can you....haha. I enjoyed it you little minx. My mum used to use astral and after that went to Oil of Ulay. She was 84 yesterday. She has always liked her bit of face powder and red lipstick and also she is the most wonderful woman in my life. xxxx
Lovely blog. God bless your sweet mom. She displays such integrity.
This has to be one of the best Vlogs you’ve made so far, I just really found it fascinating. I also adore seeing what others use as there beauty essentials. Such a sweet vlog and all the best to your lovely mother. Xxxx
You can't beat the old fashioned products my mom used Nivea and astral Elizabeth Arden foundation yardley lipstick and powder and channel no 19 and 22 theses smells always remind me of her . Your mom is one strong woman ! God bless her !
This video melted my heart. You touch on everything that our mothers either use, or have used. Love you & your glorious, courageous mum ❤️ xx
Love this video. Made me think of my Grandmother she would be 108 if she alive now. I remember her smells, hoardes of Boots products as my grandfather was a Boots Pharmacist. Such a good video thank you. Blessings to you and your Mum 💗
I love Yardley handcream .it the only hand cream that works on my hands. I am in my 50.🇨🇮🇨🇮 it lovely to see all generation have Beauty regime that shows that you’re never too old
Jo seeing these items your Dear Mother uses reminds me of my Dear Mother whom passed away a few months back she loved the famous nivea in the blue pot when my mother rocked me to sleep as a child I felt so comforted by this nivea aroma from her skin. I think your Mother may like the Yardley Rose spray. Although you were a bit sneaky sharing this love and best wished to you your Mother and Matilda
Super cute and the ending of you and the mother sunbathing was adorable. What she must think of you I have no idea haha ❤️❤️❤️
she despairs of me
Jo my Mum is 82 always used Cremola on her hands and took her makeup off with Johnson baby oil. Her hands and skin are amazing. Love your little shows❤
Cremola?
MiddleAgedMinx yes a lovely cream you rubbed into your hands till it sort of went crumbly /dry and then rinsed off
I love your mums beauty routine, simple and uncomplicated. I think shes lovely. Thanks for sharing jo ❤💛💚
This video takes me back to the products my gran used to use on a daily basis. Very nostalgic for me! 💕
silversparkles ahh if only we could turn back the clock how wonderful would it be !
Holy Jamoleies It would indeed! The times I’ve longed just to spend a weekend in my gran’s company like old times. I just have to smell Nivea, and I’m transported back in time! 💕
I loved this .You should get more older ladies on your chanel .We spend a lot of money .Well done xx
I will say it again. Love your mum. What a treasure. I hope she will come through this. Love her common sense
A walk down memory lane. Truly lovely. The simplest products are often the best. Who remembers the perfume Tweed? I think that was a Yardley scent.
Julia Sweden oh yes tweed blue grass and revlon intimate happy memories
Tweed with the wooden top
What a lovely idea for a video
Jo, I really enjoyed this. My own mother smelled of Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass and always kept her backup bars of Blue Grass soap in her dresser drawers so that her clothes smelled of it too. And in the linen closet she'd place yardley soaps between the bed linens so that our sheets smelled nice too. I hope your mum is recovering nicely. :)
I'm sure it was Joanna Lumley who said she always used Astral cream on her face. Good stuff! Hope your lovely mum makes a good recovery!
I love the picture of your Mum when she was young, how beautiful.
Astral!!🤣 used when we moved to nigeria in 1977
Oh Jo, so love your mum. Hoping she's on the mend now. My dear mum used to love all things Yardley including their cold cream....I can picture her dressing table now! Precious memories xx
Darling Jo, have been watching your channel for well over a year and really love you and Mutti....I´ve never ever written to anyone that I didn´t know before but I really felt moved to wish you and Mutti all the best. Can so identify....grew up in Chalk Farm but have lived in Munich for the last 40 years and have never, in all those years, gone longer than 3 months without seeing my Mum. She´s now 83 and, thank God, in reasonable health but I just don´t know when I´m going to see her again. Anyway, just to let you know I´m thinking of you...
From Chalk Farm to Munich! Thankyou for following from the start !!
Oh Jo, that was lovely. It took me back to my Mum and her daily routine except she ‘updated’ her moisturiser to Oil of Ulay, very pink and incredibly perfumed. Much love to you, your Mum and Matilda 💕💕💕
I love this. The smell of Jergens original lotion and Dove soap always remind me of my now passed grandmother. Women of your moms generation were brought up to stick with what they used when they were young. I also lie to my mom about the price of things. Lol. I hope you mom recovers quickly. xx
Awww Jo that was very nostalgic xxxx Really enjoyed it. Loved your dress As always ❤️💕❤️💕
Mutti was georgeous. I. Remembrrn Astral and sometimes use E45 .
I just love your mum Jo ♥️, she makes me think of my mum whom I miss terribly. My mum also loved anything by Yardley and there was always Johnson’s talc in our house! Max Factor was mum’s favourite makeup 💄 Hope your mum gets well soon, it will be very stressful for you at moment, big hugs 🤗 PS. What a great Buddha in the garden 🥀
My grandmother loved Yardley. Memories
Oh what a memory Jo, I always use to buy my Mum Yardley soap she loved it. Hope your Mum is on the mend x
Good taste I love the rose
Thank you Jo, I really enjoyed your video. It was charming and a breath of fresh air. My Mom loves bars of scented soap as well. I was so glad to see your video pop up. I had forgotten that it was Wednesday already. Keep safe and all my best to your Mom.
I’m not sure what this says about me, but I enjoyed this so much!
Mom was a “dish” back in the day-and a doll now! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Omg loved this one. It’s great content. So lovely, really heart warming. You and your mum are the dream team xx Rude that Nivea stopped using your voice. I’d buy it again if they hired you and your mum to market it. They’ve missed a trick there 😀 xx I hope your mum makes a speedy recovery.
Wishing your sweet Mum a speedy recovery to full health. My grandmother was the same- so set in her ways and the products she used. Her face and skin were simply stunning until she passed at 103. Like you, I find this so fascinating. I too, spend far too much on my personal products and while I really enjoy them I could do just fine without many of them. Have a wonderful week!
Your Mum is beautiful, hope she heals quickly and as well as possible. My Mum was in hospital during lockdown as well. Goodness.
its worry isnt it
MiddleAgedMinx parents will always worry about their children and children will always worry their parents
Love your mum. Speedy recovery wishes from this side of the pond. ❤️
jo i LOVE your hair! Please dont cut it shorter as the grow out is just perfect right now for your face and neck. you look so great in this hair. i'm your age. the dress is beyond perfect
New you were going to say Nivea, I am 68 used it from the age of 14. Have upgraded to Elemis. Hope your mum is ok. Soap we used Cushson imperial leather !
Takes me back to my nanna to. God bless you both, take care. 💕💕💕
I thoroughly enjoyed this video Jo, it was so interesting. Your Mother uses quite a few of the same products my 89 year old Mother does. Mine loves Pond’s Vanishing Cream which I can’t get for her anymore, so she’s made the rather odd choice of Bio-Oil! She uses it on her legs and cleavage!! She also has lovely skin and beautiful legs, unlike you, I inherited my Fathers legs - he was a wonderful man but I’d rather have inherited his inch long eyelashes! I hope Mutti is making good progress and i look forward to seeing her in future videos.
The old products are the best and the fact that they have stood the test of time proves how good they are. X
Your mom is lovely, I now feel inspired to use Nivea cream again, I used to use it alot hope your staying safe Jo x
I’m doing catch up Jo because I’ve been on shifts. Now this is very interesting. It’s so lovely to see what the older generation does with their beauty routines. My mother in law swears by nivea. She has my 21 year old daughter using it. I remember astral, it was too perfumey for me. We could learn a thing or two from this generation. ❤️Rose is back in fashion, they are using it in lots of products just now as it is calming on the skin. Yes maybe we should look to the past for guidance on sustainability and beauty products.
This Vintage vlog! Love it!❤️💋
You’re fortunate to have ur Mum around to pamper!
thankyou
Totally agree with the gentleman below. You could talk about bin bags and we would be enthralled. Best wishes to your dear Mum for a speedy recovery. Love her skin care regime. We have so much to choose from now it's like a skincare minefield. My mantra from now on is keep it simple.
Dear Jo I love the video clip of you at your mothers house I do hope she’s ok and recovers quickly, I like you love beauty products and so interested on peoples beauty routines. I think it’s lovely that the older generation sticks to there favourites products unlike us today and I’m one of them there is so much choice each one claiming they are the best and we all fall for it. I love your take on life I wish I knew you as you have a wonderful zest and make people feel better I look forward to your radio show and always listen in. Keep doing what you do Jo your a Smashing lady.
Thank you for sharing this, that was very brave. My mother used only cold water and Nivea. Nothing else. And she had amazing skin. Could save me a lot of money 😀. Love to you and your Mum!
Well done Jo. Would love to see picture of your mum on her wedding day. My mum used Nivea
Jo I remember my sister buying the Bromley Lemon soaps. They were packaged in a wooden box wrapped in tissue paper. I have used lots of expensive face creams. But I have gone back to Nivea recently. I think its because the smell takes me back to good times. I so enjoy watching you and your mum ...wishing her a full recovery! Look after yourself too Jo. Much love xx
Loved it, Jo, it's the little things you'll always remember. I especially loved the last shot of both of you and Matilda in the sun/ shade. Thank you
What a beautiful lady your mum was. And a lovely lady now ❗️
A trip down memory lane for many of us! Absolutely love your blog with your down to earth, witty, informative blog. Go Jo! 😊
I love most of the stuff your mum uses, during lockdown I’ve been using cheap skincare and Astral is for my face, it’s surprisingly good!! 👍🏼
I loved this vlog - your mother is very similar to my parents in so many ways (both my parents are just a little younger). My parents hate liquid soap and always have bars of solid soap in the shower and the wash hand basin. I also use Margaret Dabbs Hygiene Foot Cream on my parents feet - good to know I am not alone. I hope your mother makes a good recovery, take care x
Blessings to your Mum get well soon...love all EVE LOM products ..last for ages..xx
OK Jo, your mother is really my mother because not only does your Mutti look like my mother did, but she also only used Nivea, cream on the face and lotion on the body ( we don't have E45 cream in US). My mother loved bar soaps and vaseline on the lips, that's it!!! I bet they even matched broken bones. When I saw Mutti had her sling on wrong it reminded me of the time my mother broke her leg (3rd time) and had her soft cast on the wrong leg when I went to see her. I asked her why and she shrugged her shoulders and said " what difference does it make, I can walk". You gotta love them! Your a good daughter Jo.
QueensGirl65 tough as old boots and proud of it !!
oh god this mademelaugh out loud! I would have loved your mother!
Loved this vlog! You and your mum are lifting my spirits.
Loved this- hope your lovely mum is on the mend soon xx Great to see all theses products bought back memories - wish we could smell them all !!
Awwww, I loved this Jo. Hope your mom is doing better and the pain has subsided a bit.
Really enjoyed . My Mum used those products and she was born in 1926 .
Ann Addison yes my mom also born 1907
Hope your moms well on the mend.
Oh Jo this was the sweetest video. I got quite emotional when you were talking about your dear mum and her beauty products. Such love.
I hope she makes a good recovery and you both stay well. The final 'scene' with you both sitting outside was perfection . Lots of love to Minx and Mutti xxxxx (big kiss for Matilda!)
I’ve always used Astral Jo, it’s the best. Hope you mum feels better soon Xx
Jen B you can't beat it
Lovely jo,your mothers skin routine so simple and easy perfect.Back to basics for everyone.your dads Rose's so beautiful.Thank you keep well.❤
loved this Jo my Mum always used Nivea, the look on your Mums face was a picture I could tell what she was thinking lol, I've had many a look like that off mine over the years, I miss her dearly xxx
Lovely reminiscing these products that have stood the test of time. I remember my mum using Imperial Leather soap as a special treat, otherwise it was fairy soap. Fantastic roses xxx keep safe both you and your Mum.
Brought back memories of my Mum and also Astral cream ha ha.
Your Mum looking at you with your mask on ha ha. So funny. Hope she’s doing well xx
I loved seeing your mum's beauty products, it reminded me of the products my mum used before she passed away. She also used the same hand cream and face moisturiser year after year. Hope your dear mum recovers soon. See you on Sunday. 💐
I loved this content also. Anne French cleansing milk, Astral, oil of Ulay, charlie perfume and lavender soap. Great memories.
Anne French!!!!!!!! in the triangle bottle!
MiddleAgedMinx yes it was great
Such a lovely Vlog, thank you Jo. I wish your Mom the very best.☮️🇨🇦
It's nearly similar to my routine but I use even less. Thank you, Jo. I hope Eileen is getting better each day x
Sending love and positives vibes for speedy recovery Mutts x
Such a lovely vlog and homage to your Mum, her skincare says everything about her. Yardley soaps were my Nan's favourite too and I can still smell them. Sending love to you and Mutti ❤️
Ah bless , I mentioned last week I swear by E45. My parents still have soap bars and to be honest the smell of them sticks around for longer than liquid gels.
Wishing your mum a speedy recovery . XX
