The Hauls
As expected, Angie hauls oodles of skincare, hair and beauty items. She shops Sephora, Ulta and Nordstrom, among others, to gather the items she uses regularly and those she will try. Angie presents the items on camera and gives mini reviews of the products she has used and she states her expectations for products new to her. https://youtu.be/zfxNRzSx_6Q She uses her series of videos, such as, Foundation Friday Over 50 and Try It Tuesday to introduce products for which there may not be a dedicated haul.

Angie also usually does a seasonal look book highlighting her classic, classy style and giving the viewer tips for pulling a look together. https://youtu.be/Pe-PvCirep0 She talks the viewer through several outfits suggesting alternatives for wearing a piece, when appropriate. Angie shopped Amazon to try the quality of the often lower priced items found there. https://youtu.be/6zbMojLw8Vk She keeps on trend with her clothing choices while maintaining her classic, age appropriate style.
