That includes cooking, cleaning, laundry, and gardening. These are all skills embedded in homemaking and I've spent more than 50 years mastering various components of the task. My YouTube journey started about eight years ago. My first YouTube channel was called Makeup on Aisle 64 and I talked about makeup for the mature woman. When I determined that makeup was limiting, I changed to This and That with Denise Jordan. On this channel, I talked about a little of everything. I joined a bunch of collabs and improved my skillset in regards to video creation, editing, story telling, the whole nine yards. Connect With Denise: YouTube /// Website
