Getting older is a privilege that is denied to many ❤ I appreciate still being here!!
Here, here! 👏🏻👏🏻
Amen u said it all geasp an hold on to getting old it's beautiful to see all in its natural beauty
I simply couldn’t have said it better. AND MAY I ADD… WE EITHER LIVE AND ENJOY LONGEVITY OR WE DIE YOUNG.. JUST ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING IT..
Seven years cancer-free. I have naturally graying hair now.
I don't care to look 20 years younger - I just truly enjoy the little simple pleasures in life ❤
@mildreddavis1684 the beauty is with in don't be fooled when u see the outside it can be deceiving don't be afraid open the book an the real person will be there
I love that she is rocking her natural hair!
So true, beautiful hair!! She has a young, vibrant face with or without facelift as her lustrous hair adds to her beauty, especially at her age. Her surgeon needs to be commended!
too bad about her face though.
@@ScottPittman-jc7ph ???
I think it looks really nice.
Hair is great, but her 11’s definitely have botox, doesn’t move at all.
My little mom died when she was 51 years old from breast cancer. If you look at group pictures that she was in, she is the one your eyes will go to because she was so beautiful.
She was 4' 11" tall and had an undetermined percentage of Cherokee Indian in her heritage, but she looked like a Cherokee Princess to me.
It was the hardest thing I ever lived through when she died. To this day, I can't think about it with dry eyes. You see, her heart was only 51, and cancer is such an insidious disease that it knows that if it kills the heart, the host body dies. My little mom suffered for a long, long time.
I carry her genes, and other than being about 5 inches taller and blonde, we look almost like twins. The thought of botox or plastic surgery has never entered my mind because every year I lived past 51 seemed like a bonus to me. Here's why.
I can still hear my mom saying to me, "Just one more year, that's all I want. Just one more year." She was so very young, and she wanted to live so much. Do you think she cared about wrinkles? Or crows feet? Well, she had neither before she got sick.
She's been gone for 42 years, and I am 70 years old. I have spent every one of the last 19 years since I was 51 knowing that they are the years that my little mommy was grasping for in that hospital bed, but she would never have, and I have lived them happy and loved and I have tried to live them in her memory.
I can't even begin to express how shallow I think it is to worry about what your child looks when they are 20 or 21 years old. Or to worry about a few laugh lines at 35. Heaven forbid we show the world that we are happy enough to laugh.
And I would ask them what would you worry about if you knew you were going to die when you were 51?
Thank you for sharing this. A beautiful tribute and post. I agree with you and can’t understand the mindset of these people. Hopefully somebody reads this and rethinks their actions. Be well.
Beautifully written your Mum was a real trooper know would be so proud of you I am ❤ Thank you for sharing agree can't believe anyone would want to change their looks risk their life because of a few wrinkles etc they need to grow up want to appreciate being alive living longer no one's going to like love you more for looking like a barbie doll.
❤
Thank for this. The only thing that matters is happiness and thankfulness for being alive.
So true, so beautiful, thank you! Only to be loved and to love matters!❤
I find the women aging naturally are so beautiful. That tells me, they have confidence and wisdom!
Absolutely right!! Age gracefully,not artificially.
Better loving through chemicals! This is my motto!!
Thank you for being SANE IN AN INSANE WORLD🥰
And its crazy cause you see the flip side where goldie hawn and helen merian get dragged for aging naturally, jesus there 80 years old, most people dont live to see 80! So not only their lifes achievements but the fact their sill here and working at 80 not how they look.how come we never hear anything about how badly Johnny depp and brad pitt have aged,two the most Georgous looking men on tv now only early fiftys look like crap but still get the work, women of that same age are encouraged to keep putting crap in their bodys cause if they dont look good their not getting the calls and its sad to see women no matter how much they've achieved still getting sexualised at 80 by how good she looks in a bathing suit.😢
Sane? No it’s jealousy.
Just like Brook Shields, Christy Brinkley “they look so young”.
Both filled with Botox, + , medical procedures.
The 80 year old liver delivers 80 year old breath..men and women. Stay real people
@@SanjuanitaCruzYou don't love your soul.
My mom died when she was 46 years old. I will be 50 in a few months- Lord willing. I am so happy to be at this age. I look older and I am ok with that! It is a blessing!
I am sure you look lovely, here are too many, many more years for you!
I don't think you look older. I think you look good for your age.
My mom died just shy of 45 and I'm 52. Grateful and sad for all of the years I've gotten that she didn't.
((Hugs❤))
Absolutely correct I have lost so many Beautiful Souls from an early age.
It makes me sickened to see people denying themselves inner peace, acceptance, and Beauty.
May You live at least until 92 to double the Strength Your Mother gave you.
To realize reality in a lifetime many shame. 🕯🔮✌🏻
It's sad that today people have to face the real reality to understand how stupid is racing against the mirror. Life is not about how younger you see yourself in front of a mirror. Do you really need to face the illnesses, hunger or mental illness to feel grateful with life and nature? Sick world.
Teaching your children to love and accept themselves is important
Her daughters have Botox? We in central Illinois don’t do that crazy.
Yes!!!
@@user-so2xp2tz1s she said the opposite. Her daughter doesn't have it.
Absolutely
I’m so grateful that I look at my body everyday in awe of all it’s done for me. Every scar and every stretch mark is a beautiful story in the book of my life.
that ois a cope if i ever heard one. after 27 you´re done ladies
@@spiritofalaskaim sorry its tiny, my condolences
to you but no one else.
It is every woman's right to look and feel her best as she ages. It starts from within.
She is 100% right, celebrate this woman full of wisdom, we need more woman like her to guide the lost generation back sanity.
Beauty comes from within. Not from all those chemicals. The sad part botox is the norm now.
OMG!!!! Thank you!!!
Sadly cuz we just don’t. I am really hving a hard time aging , I hate how I look, the changes in energy, everything. I’m going to speak honestly. I look terrible, I feel terrible and I’m not enjoying the aging process. Don’t come for me, I’m only expressing my journey. My true joy though is my grandson, my doggo, my children and my sweet husband who doesn’t care that I look like poop. Btw he looks amazing……my husband always tells me I look younger than my age abd never says a word about my appearance. Unfortunately, when we were first dated, his friend asked him in front of me, “what would you do if she got fat?” His response , without hesitation was “divorce her”. His friend said “ she will always hv a pretty face!” My husband has said he was an ass abd didn’t mean til but it has forever affected me.
👏👏👏❤️❤️
She's absolutely right! But look @ her face, forehead, did it move? 😊😅
Getting older is truly a blessing and a privilege, it’s not a given
Maybe this women is j
@@lovem7635 what are you trying to say?
Yes! To many good people didn't get the chance to see 50.
Sometimes NOT😮
I am proud to be 60
Every day is a miracle
Me too at 61!
Me too at 62 🎉
This lady is speaking wisdom. A change must come, ladies.❤
How blown away am i to hear someone say this out loud
There’s something so beautiful to see a woman who is bigger than all of that. A woman who is so accepting and loving of herself, that she doesn’t need all that stuff. That’s a real beauty
Exactly!
Whats it got to do with anyine she looks great what should we grow old and look terrible i think she looks amazing
@@Trolldollz This!! Who cares if someone wants to do something to their face....IT'S THEIR FACE....women are so nasty to other women this is a disgusting video putting other women down is NEVER the way to go.
That is real confidence!!
@@screamoguy100dd these women feel pressure from society though? Groups like Tavistock that organize and promote social engineering, tell us how to think. Feel, wear, look like etc. Just saying....
Totally agree I’m not fighting to be 20 or 30. I’m 50 and proud
“Say it LOUD!” 😂😂😂
Amen beautiful lady I'm 52 and I have a 5 year old child !! I cannot grow old !! But I will do it with Grace and confidence !
@@angelanabozny83AWESOME!
My mother did the same! Had her last at 45…(I was the youngest at 15 when she was born)
You yourself are beautiful, my dear!
@@laylaeriksen4593 awwwww.... Your comment touch me deeply !! God is amazing , just when you think you can't, God says you can !! God bless you and your family ❤️🙏❤️
@@angelanabozny83 Yes!!!
✨🧿✨🙌✨🧿✨
I love how we can reach out and find our people even if to momentarily touch virtual fingertips 🙏
ThANk you for speaking sense into the generations, who have fallen for lies!
Being beautiful is when you have your natural look and nothing fake inside and outside of your body. Those are the people I admire who age gracefully.
You are a reflection of generations of people who saw beauty in each other. Every day of life is a blessing and age shows your blessings. Get this woman a loud speaker!!!
I thank my grandmother for this, she was proud of aging. She loved her gray hair, she never complained about her wrinkles or spider veins. My mom always said how cute she was and how she loved how her hair went from salt and pepper to white. My grandmother passed away a few years ago and I miss her so much.
Awww thats so inspiring! A single Strong woman can heal generations i truly believe that🥰 lets all heal
Newer forget her natural way of ageing...
❤
The Bible says, "Grey hair is a crown of glory..." 👩🦳🧑🦳👨🦳👵🧓
That's right! crown of Glory!😊💕🌷🙏🙏🙏
Amen, 🙏🙌❤
True aging is the beauty of the wisdom that grows within. The harvest. Celebrate that
And being loved for it 🥰
I wonder why not let people do what they want. What is the problem with people undergoing aesthetic procedures? Will she only be wise and worthy of your approval if she has wrinkled skin and gray hair? Or could she be wise and an excellent person and also want to be in better shape, with a toned body, healthy and beautiful? Why is one thing the opposite of another in your head? This seems to me like wanting to divide the world between A and B again... with your side being the correct one. You don't want to do it... don't do it, but don't bother those who want to do it.
Well said. That is so true😊
@@alexandrafigueiredo5821 you really don't understand what damage this has done to self esteemed of women AND how men view women. This " you're free, do your own thing" has backfired in many ways, not bringing results expected
@@alexandrafigueiredo5821
I didn’t get any hint in that statement of “letting one’s self go”.
People forget that doing what you love is its own “glow up”. Nowhere does she say let yourself go….
💯. Im an Esthetician. I am now relentlessly being rejected from getting hired for work in my industry due to age ism. Ihave more experience than most, but i habe no botox or filler and though my resume gets me interviews, once in person...well, it's exhausting. Its difficult to persevere, i do my best to have grace and dignity. Much love all women of all ages because we are an example to those that watch us. Beauty is a gift to be cultivated from a life that is sought with humility and self reflection as well as humor. Laughter carves unique and precious lines that tell a story! At the end of ones life, how insignificant our features are, when the truth of our beauty is the brightness of our soul ♥️
Eloquently expressed!
🧿✨✨🙌✨🧿✨
@betsysantos8866• I am so sorry to hear that. Bless your heart. How about you start a channel with beauty advice and tutorials? God bless you. Those people do not deserve you. It is their loss.
Yes, but no one cares as you just wrote about it
You can advertise yourself as holistic? More along the lines of holistic skincare… natural aging. ♥️
@@nicolevonw8101but that’s not what she’s very skilled at, from what she stated- her skills are primarily based around fillers and Botox which are certainly not considered holistic and natural.
You are so 💯 right!! Am telling the same to women around me the same!! Age in grace and stay genuine and healthy 🧘🏻♀️😘
❤❤❤ thank you, am 50 years old this year 2024 and am so blessed to live till today , thank God Almighty....
Thank you. I agree. Look at our UK actresses, Judy Dench, Imelda Staunton, Helen Mirren, Kate Winslet, Vanessa Redgrave, and so many more. Beautiful, active wrinkles giving life to their faces. No wonder we can still recognise their great acting!
It's nice to be able to recognize these actresses period..but after face-lifts etc but they lose their identity totally and look like someone and something else. 😢😢
Absolutely, they are pro-aging, they are fabulous roll models. Unlike many American Actors, though there are a few. Bravo.
We the Woman...need to keep fighting to stop this "Anti-aging" term with Companies that sell Billions of dollars Marketing so called "Anti-aging products"...it's a lie, and so unhealthy mentally and emotionally for all women, and young girls who believe you can Anti-age...let's Celebrate Pro-Aging...focusing on our individual health and well-being. I love make up, I use makeup because it's fun, and I like it...however only from companies that Celebrate and Pomote "Pro-Aging".
We are all aging...from the time we are born...if we are fortunate enough to age to 70, 80, 90 we are fortunate, Celebrate this, not everyone is this fortunate.
Absolutely! ❤️
And ate they still doing movies...
WRONG...they're all had work done
I am alive at 76 and celebrate all that I went through with each freckle on me! I never tried to hide or cover them up! I will always be remembered as that red head, freckle faced, green eyed, fire brand!
❤❤
Thank you sis🤗
Thank you for standing up for Real women.
she's not standing up for "real" women. she's seeking attention and validation for herself.
Exactly !!!! So true!!! We are lucky to have people like yourself to speak about this issue.
So glad you resonated with this message 💜
I love Martha Stewart. I think she is a very intelligent and wonderful woman. ❤
Why don't we see women as beautiful as they are. We are so shallow.
Women are constantly judged by other's. It's time we stand together and say enough already.
@@robinlooney5440
You have two birds in your name .
That is nice !! 🥀🐦⬛
We??? Or just males with no knowledge of the Bible
Money is made that's why
because most women are not as beautiful as they see themselves. physically or mentally
Unrealistic body images can be harmful for young impressional girls or women with low self esteem: anorexia, body dysmorphia, cosmetic surgery "addiction ". A reputable doctor should not be working on 20 year olds unless there is a disformity or serious medical issue. These girls do not comprehend the serious issues that can happen from some of these procedures. Wearing makeup does not fall into this category. If you're a mentally stable adult go for it BUT we dont need to be praising them in the media.
Absolutely, it's disgusting that these plastic surgeons or aestheticians are willing to inject young girls before they even have any signs of aging. This is unethical and just straight up money hungry greed driven tactics.
Yes, agree! Aging gracefully is much more exciting! No matter how young you want to keep yourself it shows your true age anyway.
I love looking into an older person's actual face and seeing their life story. Smile lines, squints and weathered lines that tell you they were the active, outdoorsy types or the alabaster tones of those that prefer indoor pursuits. And the mouth...does it genuinely smile when you meet them, or is it constantly puckered in worry or scowling in disdain. Plastic surgery and other procedures wipe out all that human information. They look emotionless.
My husband’s aunt used to be very beautiful until she started getting fillers and plastic surgery. Today she looks like the Joker from Batman movies, specifically Jack Nicholson’s Joker and looks older than she is. Sadly, her daughter has undergone several procedures as well and is starting to look like a younger Joker.
Clearly this woman has amazing bone structure and naturally youthful good looks… probably easier to judge when you’ve hit thethe genetic lottery like that!
she has beautiful hair also.....naturally good looking mature woman...
Admit it! It is ridiculous when a 21 year old girl is going to put filler in her face because she thinks that she has wrinkles.
It is a blessing to age, embracing all the changes that come with it. I am proud of my white/gray hair. It is a testament of my life, worthy of celebrating in every aspect! 🙂
Thank you! I am 52, botox and filler free and letting my red hair turn white. I am surrounded by naturally beautiful women who are poisoning themselves monthly to keep from looking old. It is a blessing to age. I am exactly who I am supposed to be and I am beautiful!
I'm 40 and no one would accuse Martha Stewart as looking my age.
Being fake is normal now.
😂😂😂 she just did
What she saying is she doesn't look her age she doesn't look 80 and doesn't have one wrinkle so she looks more like 65 70 that's what she's using
@@susanyoung8059you are so correct this young lady asked me why does my face move good because I don't have any Botox i
I'd like to see a close-up of ole Martha.
Exactly. Im sick of the push to look young. Why do we worship how youthful girls look? Its a male fantasy internalized by us and perpetuated by society. As a formerlly homeless woman who rately looked in a mirror for twenty years, i just want to celebrate that im nearly 70, still alive and lived long enough to get wrinkles and vericose veins!! Hahaha
God Bless you... I'm 66 and I've been homeless myself I also Embrace my age. What drives me is having energy and endurance. Not filling my face and changing my appearance because you dont like who you are.... I'm proud as well!
Bless you both sisters.. Am past 70.. Happy to still being able to laugh with my grandkids...cook.. Paint. Dust furniture - except my mirrors.. 😊
What a wonderful thread, you're all women I look up to-- survived adversity and are filled with innate strength, hard won wisdom and have embraced authenticity. That's beautiful. I'd love to have you all as friends. 🙏💕
@@Poputnyk welcome to the club..! 😊💐🌹♥️🥀
Hear, HEAR!!
I wouldn't have liked my grandma to look 40 in her 80's. Her age felt safe to me, her lines and gray hair was beautiful and her eyes had this mysterious wisdom and also so much warmt to them...like her soul was shining through clearer by each passing year... ❤
Exactly, we'll said!!! ❤😊 Let's celebrate things that are natural!!! ❤
I agree 100%. I am “only” 43, but my hair is turning grey, I have wrinkles, stretch marks from my pregnancies and all in all turning older.
My stretch marks are my tiger stripes. The testament of my body and the fact that it made my beautiful children❤
My lines and wrinkles are a testament of a life filled with happiness and sorrow, smiles, laughter and grief.
My hair is what happens and as the hair turns grayer I am older and wiser.
I will never put anything in my body to try to look younger than I am. I will always let nature do its job and I think it’s time to let us woman go through that process to without shame or desperation for youth.
Thank you for your help and support. I’m 76 and will not go crazy to be 55
Looking younger doesn't mean one wants to be younger ...
Good for Martha!!! She looks good.
For real 😂 she sound so bitter is crazy
@@AlohaVida-oo2mwYou missed her point entirely. Why do women have look younger to be celebrated? Women must conform and inject ourselves with toxins but men can age naturally. Young women are now getting botox and toxic fillers because we worship youth. We should call aging naturally for women a celebration.
YAY!!!!
Thank you for speaking. You're so right. The one's who are pumped up are jealous when they see a beautiful naturally ageing woman. I can attest to that, and in addition we have grace and elegance and character. You're living proof.
Thank you!! Some words of wisdom in a crazy world!!!
We are all free to do whatever makes us happy! No judgement here.
I AGREE 100%. I am 67, proud of my age and just by talking care of my skin and my body everyone gives me 10 years LESS. I am mother of a 31 year old. No botox and no filles.😊
Absolutely TRUE 🙏
@celinedion is a great example that it’s ok to age and accept our body when it ages. We’re all beautiful the way we are and I’m grateful Celine passes on that very important message
Man here…loving this woman’s natural look and gorgeous hair! Real men love and respect real women, it’s that simple.
That’s her new 80, l respect everyone’s right to look how ever they want, if you want to grow old in your way that’s great too. Don’t judge people just because you want them to look like you want to. That’s My 5c.. Plus she looks amazing… Celebrate her accomplishments not her physical attributes. ❤
I see nothing wrong with it if it's safe and get the right doctor. I see some of these actors that look worse from plastic surgery. I can't believe young girls are getting anything done at that age. These parents are crazy doing this. Me personally I want to look like me not a body that looks fake and a face that looks like it doesn't move. 😮
You are silly she was not being judgemental
She is making a comment against the (American) societal norm of not accepting the beauty and majesty of an aged woman. She was quite clear in this. Your last statement is exactly what she is saying.
Thankyou for normalizing ageing and natural beauty ❤
Right on sister
She told no lies here. I feel exactly the same way. I come from a generation where growing old gracefully was a privilage.
I was 17 years old when my mother died. She was 44. When I was 44 I didn't realize how I felt until I hit my age of 45. That whole year I just felt like I was holding my breath. I felt like I was reborn.
When you have a strong self identity, you love yourself enough to do things by choice and not blame others for the decisions you make or the influence others have over you.
Because she is free and express what is best for her like you expressing your opinion. She is gorgeous, healthy, alive! Please encourage people to celebrate people ways to live and stop the WHY all the time . 💗🌸
Yes and men as we know usually age better than women; their skin holds up better probably due to less hormonal changes and salt and pepper looks better on a male than a female. Oh and few things to sag plus more muscle tone!
Nah...this kinda infantile dogma is why this fakery has gotten out of hand. Doing all this to your face and body only highlights low self esteem and self depreciation. These women are not happy with themselves...thats why they do it.. Then they do it and they STILL aren't happen and keep doing it until they no longer look human and cry themselves to sleep. Learn to love yourself...imperfections and all...thats what life is about. Also not to mention ALL the negative side effects and health probs/risks from these procedures. Millions have died getting even the so-called simple procedures done. Your life is worth more ladies. Think about it.
@@MsMesemthat's actually the misogynistic and patriarchal perception society has established because aging is as shitty as for men as it is for women. Their balls sag, their junk stops working, as testosterone levels decrease. Also their hair thins out and their bodies degrade just as much. Is just a matter of how you educate your mindset.
@@MsMesemMen don't age better it's just their flaws aren't scrutinized like women's are. A man can have deep wrinkles, sun damaged skin, balding thin hair and be overweight and be praised for it. Its like a bizzaro world. Men get rewarded for being lazy so they have no incentive to actually age well.
She jeslous😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Amen...Just age gracefully!
Thank you. Sometimes it is hard to feel like you are the crazy one when all you want is just to enjoy getting older and not worring about looking younger than our age. I have earned every grey hair, every wrinkle, every age spot. It represents my life, I'm not willing to erase it.
To be able to accept getting old and be happy you lived that much and keep the marks there it’s what I hope for ❤️❤️..
She can do whatever she likes!!!!
I learned to grow old gracefully like my mother, grandmother grandmothers,, aunts and great aunts❤
🙌🙌
Celebrities set the bad example by allowing surgeons to mutilate them. The medical profession needs to be held accountable for this malpractice. I've seen so many older men and women who had their faces stretched beyond recognition. Grow old gracefully.
Yessssss! Thank you for talking about this!!!
Exactly!!! Yes, we women should enjoy the body we have in any stages!
Well said lady❗️Thank you 👏🏼
I like taking care of myself and I don't think there's anything wrong and trying to maintain the way that you look if you can as long as you don't get carried away or harm yourself I think it should be up to the individual and I don't think it's wrong
I think she referring to the pressure it puts on women. If you aren't afraid what it will do to your health in the long run I so do you.
By calling it the "new 80", they are dismissing women who choose to age naturally. It implies that you must be doing something wrong if you don't strive to look like the "new 80".
THANK YOU!!! God bless you for being straight-up honest about this subject! Thank you!!!
I'm glad there are still sensible people in the world.
I had a 16 year old girl come up to me and say, you are so pretty. Im 55 and have never had anything done to myself. I live a healthy life and thankful i look so young. It's crazy what people are doing to themselves.
I told my husband I’m getting zero optional surgeries or treatments.
My sister in law said that my brother knew when he wanted kids that she would never get a tummy tuck. She’s a badass.
Wow! Yes! I have had a lot of “work” done down through the years but now I can’t afford to. I’m learning that people think you’re attractive when you smile a lot and are kind and caring.
Couldn’t agree more!
At last, someone with sense.
Ageing gracefully and accepting all the wrinkles and normal skin for our age is for a happy person.
I agree with you. I am 72 years old and My own family expect me to act and look like I was at 50 and I argue that I deserve to be able to look my real age and age “gracefully”.
Thank you for speaking up with this truth💕
There is so much beauty in aging. I love faces that show lines their lives have imprinted on them. Laugh lines, crow's feet, brow furrows are your stories, your struggles, your loves, your reminders of a life blessed enough to attain lines in your face.
Agree! I earned these brow lines over the past few years! lol
@@viceversa3159why though? This life on earth is a vapor compared to eternity. Vanity doesn’t have a whole lot of meaning if you start searching for the bigger picture, and there is one! God bless you ❤
My wonderful and beautiful wife is 64. All natural and I would not have it any other way. She is the best.
Thank you!!!! I say this as a woman that has chosen to naturally age.
💜💜💜
Well said!
I totally agree, I use creams and serums since 17 and now 71. No one guesses my age. I do a pat on my neck after creams but press on my face. It really helped the old age neck. I’d rather spend money on travel and there are always solutions to problems without cutting and injections. I’m happy the way I am.
To look this fabulous at 80 yrs old is wonderful . Get real !.. . . 😊
Amen !!!
Go girl !!!
Thank goodness for you !!!
Thank goodness for you you're making so much sense !!
Thank you! This is a powerful reminder to stay authentic to ourselves. Glad to hear that some of us aren’t alone 😊
I needed to hear this. I’m 90 and not too fond of what time has done to my body. I guess it could be worse.
Low self-esteem. Lack of self-love. These are the things that cause self-mutalization... of any kind.
Absolutely, selflove is what people need to be taught.
Please add lack of faith and Godlessness...
The only people who do extra cosmetic work to improve themselves are people who could afford it.
Isn't it people who believe something is amiss with them? I am asking that because people make loans, rob or manipulate others to pay for procedures they can't afford.
Not True
I agree this is an obsession of the upper middle class. There is good instability and high rents for many....To not look your age is a privilege to few .
Let's learn to celebrate natural beauty. Inside & out!
No. I refuse to.
She’s amazing and should be celebrated and she looks amazing
That's where parents come in to instill and show their children the meaning of true happiness and not to allow any outside forces to sway or affect their positivity of thoughts, to be analytical but with understanding, to be logical and critical but with compassion,kindness and respect. To let others enjoy their lives in any way they want to as long as they are not violating any human rights. And to let others enjoy their freewill. If you want to age the way you said you want to and you're happy with that, I will be happy for you too but to put others in a box base on your given standards that's where it went wrong.
Thank God you said it. I’m 72 yrs old .. at times, told I look younger? .. act younger but in my jobs ..which are in caregiving .. not corporate .. even there, much ageism going on. .. amongst peers .. people my own age… not the younger ones .. thankfully they do pick up on what courage it is to stay strong and vital.. let younger folks see us as we are and what we still bring to the table. Keep strong and let your smile out… there are those very difficult days but with rest and recouping strength ..keep going.. Don’t need the fillers. Keep moisturizing !!! Stay on your purpose!!! Stay in prayer if you so desire!!!! Be inspired in your writings and in your work!!! And encouraging others!!
Sorry, I believe that people should do what makes them happy. Botox or no botox, who cares, if it makes you happy. FYI, men are getting botox too also filler.
That is a personal decision. If she wants to look as an elefant is her own choice. Some women wants look good to the end. Don't judge hiw people decide to live their lives.
BRAVO!!!
Agreed
It’s not judgmental… it’s an opinion
It's completely judgmental and factually not true. Look at Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin.
Lily is glorified as a natural goddess. Jane made personal decisions about cosmetic decisions, and always has a sense of shame when talking about them. @MeimeiLovesmusic
Absolutely True❤Age Naturally Is The Best❤🎉🎉
Totally agreed. Aging gracefully and building intelligence come through.
It’s call I got $$$ so I have access to wellness care that I want! That is a form of success. Ain’t nothing wrong except I can’t afford it.😢😂😂😂❤

Why can't we just be happy being natural..
I am going natural all the way no color no Botox I am 50 and I think I look great! I am happy - but I do work out and eat right❤
Be warned, at 50, you don't know what you don't know. At 50 I still looked like I was in my 30's. Even people my own age thought I was the same age as their children. I had not a line or wrinkle. Not a single age spot. I had a great youthful run. But about 5 years post menopause at age 56, everything began to change. I literally did not begin to age until 56. I still haven't done any procedures, no botox or fillers, nothing, and probably won't, but my point is, don't count on continuing to age at the same rate you're currently aging. You might not be able to imagine wanting to tweek anything now, but you have no idea how things with your face will change going forward. It's easy for you to be so above it all at your age when you're still looking great, but just wait. In 5 years, you may be singing a different tune.
@@nannem9716 HRT worked for me. No wrinkles or saggy skin. No stress either.
Me too
At fifty, I still looked quite youthful and felt pretty. More like forty, maybe even younger. I liked what I saw in the mirror and people often thought I was younger than I was. Within ten years, a lot had changed, though. The pull of gravity on my face and neck skin was apparent by my early sixties. An age spot nearly the size of a dime appeared on my cheek that no makeup covers completely. I had been faithfully wearing sunscreen for many years. Not fair! My hair thinned right in front where it showed the most. My skin all over began to look older.
I could go on and on, but suffice to say, aging took me by surprise and I flat out did not like it. It depressed me. It did not help one bit to think about all the damn 'wisdom' I was supposed to possess now. I mourned the loss of my youthful beauty. I found out what older women mean about feeling invisible. My mother tried to tell me about that years ago and I scoffed at the idea, but she was right in that younger people treat you differently when you're old and not in a good way. I'm seventy three now and look at it, but I've come to terms with it. What else can you do?
Once you completely accept it, you can focus on much more meaningful and enjoyable things. I am a happy and busy older lady. I don't have a lot of money, but if I won the lotto, I would not be going out and getting nips and tucks and cheek implants. I'm fine as I am. People can take me or leave me; I don't care.
Aging really accelerates as you get close to sixty. I was shocked, and it hit me hard that my youthful looks just ten years prior were gone. I recall feeling good knowing I still 'turned heads' back then. It took me a few more years to come to terms with the fact that I actually looked my age, and It often depressed me. At seventy-three, I'm finally enjoying life again.
You certainly know what I talk, and you’re Beautiful!
Especially for doing this.
Not only does knowledge come with age, so does character.
100% This is what I keep telling people but they look at me like I am crazy.
Yes!
What is wrong with looking your best... So.
Your fake best 😢
That's a subjective endeavour, the expectation would be to look like her. You don't look like her. And the majority of the population doesn't have the money to get the procedures she's had done.
100% :*) I do not understand this divide between women. Her choice is her own to make, opinions will stand but why not just let it be.
must embrace aging..that usually happens in our 40s. It is not looking best, is creating a fake image about how women should look when older. Normalizing procedures and started to be a trend among younger and younger. Fake nails, lashes, hair, face..starting from their teens..too much.
See the comments about older women , actresses, singers..with or without any work done.
@@jennieoh8543because they are NOT letting it be. By inventing these standards at any level they are creating a war within women. Looking like you are not aging and call it aging well so much so I slap you on magazine covers so you yell all the rest: Heeyy you can be like this and all will say you look your best.
Doesn’t look her best, she shows all the money she spent. They don’t show the hair scaring because of plastic surgery, or the skin immobility because of botox, or the sagging skin because of age. No Look how Martha is beautiful at 80. Show us a realistic picture where a natural woman looks like that at 80. There is none. Dame as the faie narrative of men “transitioning” to women. There has been not one successful human transition to another gender, ALL is cosmetic change but in reality they remain what they originally were. This is our condemn. The reason is because they are selling the hedonistic narrative of their invention at the cost of humans’ souls, attention, mental health.
