10/01/2017Hello Tracy, I love your blog and videos! They are very inspiring. I just subscribed to your blog. I subscribed on your YouTube channel a few weeks ago. I enjoy watching your videos. They help me so much. I am a working mom of 2 boys, and married to a very loving husband. I work full time – long hours (leave early for work and go home late). No matter how busy I am, I make sure to watch your videos and check out your posts during my lunch break. Thanks again. Looking forward for more! ❤️😍❤️

Teri L.
10/02/2017I would love to win this awesome planner. I’m a YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat subscriber of yours as well. I very much want to enjoy the holidays this year and love the idea of having time to actually focus on celebrating the true meaning of Christmas starting the day after Thanksgiving. My first grandchild was born this year and it would be a blessing to be able to be fully present leading up to Christmas so I can enjoy him and my whole family and concentrate on making memories instead of stressing about what to buy up until the very last minute.
tracyhensel
10/02/2017Hi Teri!!! I would love for you to win, as well!! It is the perfect time to start planning! No one would ever say, “Boy, I wish I wouldn’t have started to plan so early!!” I am sure it will be a joyous season for you family with a new baby to love on!! Enjoy, make memories … and start new traditions!! Bless you!!
Barbara Barnes
10/02/2017OH, how I would love this….I am a planner by nature. I teach full-time and am building a home. This would keep me so organized.
tracyhensel
10/02/2017Hi Barbara!! You certainly have a lot on your plate!! Sounds like this planer would be right up your alley!! And sounds like I wish you good luck on winning!! have a great Monday!!!

10/02/2017Tracy, you are my hero. I love watching all of your you tube videos and have watched several multiple times and even taken notes. You are such a beautiful vibrant person!
I work full time and run out of time, end up spinning in circles and am never ready for any occasion. I aspire to being organized like YOU!!! Just ordered a handbag organizer and drawer organizers just like yours. Have a blessed day. Judy
tracyhensel
10/09/2017Thank you so much! I appreciate you wonderful words! I am happy to hear that I am gleaming some organization tips, you way. I work full time, as well. It is a lot to juggle, and stay on the ball. You are not alone on this journey!! Stay positive!! xx

Would you please consider doing a:closet organisation/what’s in my closet video? I would love it so much! Oh and ofcourse:I love your channel and all the tips and tricks. Thank you so much for sharing!
Greetings from Holland

10/02/2017Oh I forgot to say: I watched the face shaving tutorial, and shaved my face (I’m a blond but I got the fuzz). I LOVE IT. My face feels só soft, cant wait to see what it looks like with make-up :). Love, Sarie
tracyhensel
10/09/2017Good Morning Sarie! I am happy that the face shaving is going so well for you!! Game Changer!!

10/02/2017Hi tracy! Thank you for your videos! I must say watching you on snapchat is another bonus video for the day 🙂 you are so positive and organized and put together! I have to tell you, your videos and daily motivation on snapchat have made me fall back into using my planner and get into time blocking.
Thank you for all that you do. I think if you were ever to come out with your own planner, I would be among the first to buy it!
tracyhensel
10/09/2017You’re welcome!! Thank you for sending such a nice message!! Good for you, to be back on your ‘organizing game’!! I am hoping to get that planner out someday!!
Rebecca Elder
10/03/2017I was so haapy to find your YouTube channel and bow your blog. I can not tell you how many times I have watched your video on how to be a lady. I just think it is packed with helpful information. I would love to win your Christmas planner, I have never used one before! I love Christ, it is by far my favorite time of the year. But I admit it can get stressful at time. This might be just was I need! Thank you again for your great content.
tracyhensel
10/09/2017HI Rebecca! Thank you!! I love that you are watching my ‘Classy Lady’ Video ..over-and-over! I wish you good luck on winning the Christmas Planner!
Elena
10/03/2017Tracy,
I really love your videos. They help me in my life and hopefully will help me to transfer those skills to my kids. I would love a video about organizing clutter. For example, mail or random “stuff”. There the obvious bills vs. junk mail. But what about random stuff that you can’t throw away but you don’t need at the moment? Where do you keep it? What’s the best way to organize it so you can find it when you do need it? Do you use a filing cabinet or shelving system? Paper vs. knock knacks etc? I would find a video/blog post like this , it would be incredibly helpful!
tracyhensel
10/09/2017Thank you so much, Elena!! That is a great suggestion for a video. I would love to get one out on this type of system. In the meantime, I do have a video and a couple blog posts that would help with that. I especially recommend that you watch my two videos:https://youtu.be/GiDxSzdAHrs + https://youtu.be/mOQ1dVmIxdw
Susan Braithwaite
10/03/2017Oh Tracy you are a girl after my heart.. Ha ha I also have a planner notebook not as nice as the one you are holding. Why I love you? You always take it to the next step like writing it in your calendar to where you put your notes love it.. Keep them coming I will keep watching and taking notes. You are such a inspiration and a joy to watch. Have a great day.
tracyhensel
10/09/2017Thank you Susan, for sending such a great message! Much appreciated! have a great day!!
Linda
10/03/2017Hi Tracy,
I found you a few weeks ago and I like a lot your videos and how spontaneous and thru to yourself you seem to be. I just turned 40 last month, and I keep myself in great shape too, in fact people often think that I am in late 20s-early 30s. So I love finding other women like yourself who take good care of themselves and also have a nice sense of fashion. I just wanted to send you greetings and keep up the good work with your blog and videos, I look forward to watch your videos even if it is about something i don’t really care. Just to see you talking so outgoing and confident is very nice! I have a very stressful job in high-tech (silicon-valley) and enjoy watching your decoration videos and how lovely you welcome the holiday season. You bring peace to my mind for those minutes that I see your video and I feel like I am truly relaxed. You inspire a lot of people I am sure, and I think very similar to you in several aspects (family, fitness, diet), and maybe that is why i enjoy your videos. You are very beautiful too, do you ever make look book videos? that would be great for us 40+ ladies. Thanks Tracy!!
tracyhensel
10/09/2017Thank you, Linda! I appreciate all the wonderful things that you said. I am sorry to hear that you have such a stressful job. But, I love that I can provide some down-time for you to enjoy! Bless YOU! I do plan on doing some Lookbook type of videos!! I think it would be great!! Have a great week!!
Melissa
10/03/2017Really enjoy your videos Tracey! I’m not sure if this information is going to be in your upcoming Xmas videos, but I feel I sometimes go overboard on gifts! Do you have a budget for your girls?? Who do you buy for outside your immediate family? I can’t wait to see what’s on your gift giving list this year!! Thank you for all your hard work! I hope your computer is behaving for you❤
tracyhensel
10/09/2017Hi Melissa! I am sure that this comment was sent, prior to my Christmas Budget, video. Hopefully you got the chance to watch that video, by now … and it answered some of your questions!! Thank you for your sweet and supportive message! Bless you! Have a great week!!
