I’m planning on filming at #shops in the Houston area in September. Where should I go? Tell shops to contact me! ... See MoreSee Less
I’m in N. Dallas area if you’re headed this way, there are several great shops in the area.
Will you be doing a meet up?
I'm finding these everywhere for $5. I tried selling mine on fbmp, etsy, ebay. Nope
I thought it was Conroe where your show will be. Anyone have ideas for Conroe shops?
Does that mean you’ll be at the Home Show here in Houston in September?🤞🤞 You should visit: The Blue Bird Circle Charity Guild Shop (affectionately known to my sisters and me as The Catholic Ladies) The Guild Shop Houston Junior Forum (small, but a favorite!) Salvation Army Store (on Washington Ave) MAM WHAM There are more, but these are the cream of the crop, in my opinion. I’m going to do my best to contact them all to be in touch with you! I’m so excited!! ❤️😁
Salvation Army on Washington and Sawyer. Blue Bird Catholic Charities Memorial Assistance Ministries
The Guild. Charity Daughters. And The Blue Bird.
I have contacted a local who lives in Houston and goes thrifting all the time. She does lots of jewelry.
Beautiful!
Please come to Alabama!
Boston Good will thrift store
Dr. Lori, after you're done with Houston, you definitely need to make your way over to Austin. We would absolutely love to have you.
Ohhhh this is exciting news!!!!
Please make your videos longer. I get into it and poof over Thanks

Help! Trying to keep my new Mediterranean tan from fading. Any tips? #summer2024 ... See MoreSee Less
Gardening works for me! Birk tan msrks 🤣 😂
To keep your tan apply 30 sunscreen and go out and work in a garden 😉
another trip...
I don't know 😕. I never tanned. I would just burn. Good luck with finding a good tanning solution 🤪 👌 😎 ❤️
Go outside daily.😜
Almond Oil ..The Tan Lock
Do You think if You would put Sunscreen on the tan parts & then go in the Sun for a reasonable time would work?!
Moisturizing
A moisturizer with tanner in it they do work
Moisturize!!!
I have been using Gold Bond Age Renew lotion with vitamins on my Lake Erie fishing tan this year. It is actually looking really good! If I do get a burn (or on my hubby's bald head) we rub in A&D ointment like for diaper rash.
Neutrogena used to have a cream that had a light tint. I used it years ago and it worked.
I recommend more time on the beach! Belize is beautiful and you can be there in a few hours.
Get a spray tan.
Yes 15 minutes per side with sunblock every day. 10 am is my best time.
Jergens Self tanning lotion,$10.00- u should use meduim- - mix 50/50 with your favorite lotion first 3 days...then every other night apply after your shower😉
Not sure but maybe Mediterranean olive oil😉
Next time remove the watch😂🤦♀️
They have spray at Wally World.😁
I have that same tan line lol
Go back to the beach! Destin Florida!
It will fade. For now, stay moisturized. It will help maintain it a little longer.
Go back again Dr Lori😁
Go back! 🤣
Time for another vacation 😂

Oh I love this! Such a treasured photo I am sure. You look so much like your mom. She was beautiful!
You look nothing like them!
You really look like your Mom, Dr. Lori.
I can see where you got your beautiful smile, you look like your mother and both your parents have a beautiful smile!
What a great looking couple! I love this picture…you can see the excitement on their faces.
I can see you in both of them. It was so hard losing my parents. When my dad passed I instantly felt like an orphan. Mom passed in 2001 and dad 2018.😢 it's nice to have the photos. My brother kept all my parents stuff( he was the executor) I have no photos of them. Just few slides I had taken years before to make into photos. The brain injury I have adds to it. So the images of them are slowly becoming harder to recall. Be thankful you have these. It's truly a treasure. ❤️
Great picture of your parents 👍 😀. Dr. Lori your parents raised a great daughter....you 👍 👌 😀❤️❤️
Gorgeous happy couple. Frame that Pic Lori. It's a gem. My parents were married in 1940 & were married 62 years. I called them a """ CAKE-TOP"": couple... just matched each other perfectly.. the days back then were way more happier & simple. Great memories for all of us. Today's world is tops curvy. So TY for sharing this sweet photo..🫂
I see your Mom in you but your Dad's smile! Lovely picture of them both ❤️
You look like your mom. Great photo
Lovely photo of your precious parents 🩷
What a beautiful couple ❤️❤️You look just like your Mom❤️
Cool picture! You look like your mom.They both look very 😃 happy!
What a beautiful photo! We both cherish our memories but it is still a daily struggle with grief. 💔
What a great photo!
Oh what a wonderful picture. You look like your Mother. They are always watching over you.
You look like your mom! I understand. Miss my parents everyday too. Love when they are in my dreams.❤️
Beautiful parents. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful couple
What a treasure to have this photo! You look like both of your parents.❤️
Wonderful picture ❤️
An amazing and very special picture! What a blessing.

Look easy to make, but #food always taste better when someone else makes it. What's for lunch? I'm longing for the avocados. ... See MoreSee Less
I can drive there in 13 hours. Don't let anybody eat anything until I get there.
Looks yummy. We did tacos, but added a chopped avocado to mine. Simple yet make the meal complete 😋
I agree. Everything always taste better when somebody else make it.
Yes, it does taste better when someone else makes it. Looks delicious 😋 😍 ❤️
Yes, food does taste better when someone else makes it! I love avocados! My husband and I sometimes just make an avocado and tomato salad it is actually pretty good!
It's always better when someone else cooks. Your plate of food looks delicious!!
Agree! Looks great though.
I love guacamole! 😋That looks delicious.
I agree!
As a mom and grandma who has been cooking for 57 years, anything I eat that someone else makes ALWAYS tastes better, even if I can make better!!
Makes me hungry!
Yes, yummmmm, you are so correct
Definitely. Miss the days mom cooked for me.
I wonder why that is. I agree, it always does taste better.
Avocado 🥑👍
I love avocado. I was sad the other day when i odrered a chicken taco and was told they were out of avocado!
I love salads but no Avocado! 😝
Yummy
Eat that salad but don't eat the potato. That avocado salad looks yummy to me too!

Cappuccino, ma certo! Get a Nespresso!!
It looks delicious. 😋 Why are you going off of it. I miss it very much. I still won't give up my iced mocha or any iced coffee. I hope you're well.
Hello Sunshine! Enjoy!Where can I find your post of the Precious Moments Figurine?On your page?
All great looking and I'm sure fantastic tasting. I don't drink coffee. I'm up for a very watered down iced tea though. I'm a water drinker like a gallon a day. With added electrolytes, because drinking so much water dehydrates you ...go figure🙅♂️
I love my coffee too!! But yours is pretty 🤣
I can’t imagine after traveling and getting so many fab food choices then reality
I like my coffee ☕️ hot with cream and sugar 😋 😌 😍. Your choices look good 👍 😋 👌
I’ve never had iced coffee or the really good cappuccino’s I do want to try both sometime I’ve had cappuccino and I do like them and flavored black coffee.
Iced coffee in the summer and a cappuccino every now and then is a favorite treat ☕️
Love both
Decaf with a splash of cream!
They both look good.
Love iced mocha!
No frills!!Just iced vanilla coffee.
They both look good. 😉
Love my coffee hot, light roast, without milk and sugar.
Cappuccino!
Cappuccino
Iced drinks are my pick during summer. Cappuccinos in fall and winter.

I'll take both.
iced vanilla flavored coffee

I miss the chefs and #food preparers from my trip. Took me hours to cut and wash all this. I miss being spoiled! ... See MoreSee Less
The celery and blueberries are already gone. That was fast. I am making a dent in the green beans and the watermelon.
I started eating whole food plant based no processed foods, sugar, oils, fats or meat products in 2020 and have reduced my weight 75+ pounds. My diabetes A1c was very high but has gone to prediabetic levels. The food prep is long and hard for my arthritic hands but I manage to do it. I started ordering some Whole Foods from Plantstrong and they keep me supplied with broths so I have more flavorful dishes. Unlimited fruits and veggies! That’s a real treat! Enjoy this new way of eating!
Continuing to eat healthy. Looks very good.
May I suggest you watch Dr. Lori videos while prepping 😜
Well you just spoiled yourself with all that food, at least you know it's clean. "Where's the Beef?"
Dr. Lori that all looks gorgeous! It does take time to do what’s best for our health, but it can be such a joy, as I imagine you know. Time well spent, my friend, time well spent.
I have been there…..we couldn’t wait to go to dining hall and go to our dinner with our friends at 5!!! So many choices and desserts😁 fun to be spoiled 🤣
Dr Lori,You are done amazing job. At the end the only thing that is ging to serve you is your health. Some sacrifices is need to made. May catering is good option for you. You can pay someone to preaper the food you need. I am amazed with you talent.
Vacations are great but there's no place like home..right!
Sometimes things like toasted chickpeas can get prepped ahead and get sprinkled into dishes and will add some tasty, quick protein.
A lot of work, for sure. Such healthy options!!
Looks good. I have to do right away after shopping otherwise it waits...
What a wonderful trip you had!! Now it's home sweet home! Your food prep looks great!!
So colorful and pretty! And so many meal ideas, enjoy!
It’s easy to get spoiled but boy that all looks so yummy for quick summer meals and snacks.
looks good wish I ate that well!
My sweet husband booked me a 30 min video time with you today. I am sooo excited to get get to speak to you. You are a brilliant woman and I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about the items I have acquired. PS. Food looks great
Beautiful work!
Looks great, tho!
It looks beautiful!
Healthy spread!
I'm going to send these pictures to my friends & tell them I have taken a new heathy lifestyle- no more donuts for me😄
Looks fantastic!
Everything looks so fresh and yummy! Enjoy!
