    I thoroughly enjoyed the DIY ride with this well-spoken guide! I almost spent $$$ at Wayfair for old “looking” furniture. Why?? Thanks for the inspiration!

    I absolutely love Serena. She starts out in episode one saying how her voice is horrible but, I absolutely love her voice. Her voice is very relaxing and she just sounds like someone you can carry a conversation with… a friend. She talks about her voice being harsh and scratching but, I don’t see that at all sometimes it does seem like is a little bit of a sore throat but, doesn’t sound bad. I just think she’s the most clever person I’ve seen, there’s nothing she won’t dry.

    Serena, I love your You Tube Channel and was so happy to find your podcast! I listened to the excellent interview of the Schoolies and today episode #12 on power tools! This was exactly what I needed to get started! I do have a peer drill and was asking for a mitre saw for Mother’s Day but now may wait on that one. This was amazing and thorough and not too long. It got me through my 2 mile walk! Thanks also for all the tools and accessories links!
