Pink or Blue? Deciding on which to #plant Help! ... See MoreSee Less
Blue!!!
Both
What is this plant?
Since blue is your favorite color Dr Lori I pick blue!
Blue. Forget me not?
Why not plant both?
If you are choosing between these two plants I would choose the azalea over what looks like possibly an ageratum. Azaleas planted in groupings make a beautiful statement in the garden. Do you want color to stand out in your yard, choose pink. Do you want subdued color, choose the blue.
Blue but I like both
Love them both!
If you need a shrub pink If you need more ground cover blue They are both beautiful!
Pink will draw the hummingbirds to your garden but my favorite flowers are blue!
Blue. I think you like blue more as well!!
why not both !! they look great together...
Blue!!
17yr breast cancer survivor! PINK!
Both!
Love the blue!!
I would go with the blue!
Changed my mind, blue is beautiful
Both!
Pink really stands out against the green, but I do like them both!
Blue!
Pink will be more showy!
Blue you see pink very seldom see blue flowers
Pink as your cheeks

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Do you still have the live shows where you take callers questions? We just love watching those and would enjoy trying to participate. My hubs told me the other day that he is gifting me a video session this fall! I have to get my collections room set up first. Very excited.

And in Greek do not miss the 'new' acropolis museum.. you can see the women statues up close and their hair behind their heads.. it is beautiful.. in fish tail braids!!! Dont miss the changing of the guards!! and Plaka!! oh the food.. the music.. ooooh..

Hi Dr Lori, I live in the UK and would love to join everything that you have to offer. However, I don't think your website allows access to my region 🌎😔
I can’t access your website Dr. Lori. Tried hard as been following your brilliant videos on you tube. I’m in England 😬

See the #vintage handbags I found Goodwill thrift #shopping in Westport, CT. Do you complain that Goodwill is overpriced? If you do, watch the *new* video now on my YouTube channel. ... See MoreSee Less
You keep calling out people who say that goodwill is overpriced. Yes, you can still find deals but their pricing has become outrageous, especially on the West Coast. It appears that pricing is better in the East.
Well of course you found it in Westport, CT, it's an extremely wealthy area, many actors live there
I wouldn’t say they are “over priced.” Are they charging more than 5-10ys ago, yes. But prices on everything has gone up. They have to pay the bills and support their charities too.
Pennsylvania-overpriced. I find things from the dollar store priced 5.99. And things with original price tags from full price store being sold for more than original price! My new comment to myself as I shop is "You've got to be kidding!" when I see their price!
I love all your videos 😎
Salvation Army hold back “good items”, puts them in their Boutique stores, or on racks in the front of the store with higher prices in Michigan.
I think our goodwill in Lansing , Mi are overpriced. Very seldom find any good values.
I’ll take a yard sale over the Goodwill anytime
We are watching this video now. Thanks
👍👍😊🇺🇸🌏
Always check the zipper pull. If it says Made in China put it back
