Your hair looks just adorable. I am so excited about your partial lift!!! I can't wait to follow your journey and I know you are excited about it. Anything a woman wants to do to feel better about herself I say is wonderful!!! I really want Doug to look into Weight Watchers. I think he would do well on it. You are gorgeous and I just loved this. Love to you, Melissa
Thank you so much, Melissa! I truly appreciate you visiting and your support. I think the best thing about WW is that we don't have to give up the foods we love. We can adjust it to fit our taste and lifestyle. Plus the app makes it so easy to track. There are some food that I've given up, but that has been my choice. I hope all is well with you, my beautiful friend. Lots of love xoxo Marlene
Okay I'm back :) First of all u look beautiful! I love ur hair cut! I just might do that to my hair bc I ware wigs all the time too so why bother with hair right :) About ur Facelift ! I think more people should come on and be honest about getting face lifts and getting procedures done! There are some I know that just don't believe in it and they think that embracing wrinkles and growing old gracefully is what you should do and you should enjoy your wrinkles and you're sagging and that's fine for them. Listen I totally respect that but for a lot of people they want to have something done and they don't wanna be guilted into not having anything done because they don't think they should. It's a choice and for those of us who believe in it we shouldn't be made to feel guilty about it ! Honestly some more ppl should speak up on it so good for you. I want some Botox done and I'm probably going to get it soon not Botox but Dysport Because I don't embrace my number 11s I wanna get rid of them lol. What is the procedure called that you're having done to your jowls only? Years ago 1989 maybe I had Bell's palsy and the whole side of my face drooped so bad I was very self-conscious of that so I went to a doctor and he cut behind my ear and pulled that side of my face up and it was a game changer only problem is he pulled it up too high and he had to go to the other side and pull that up a little bit to balance out my face. It was medically necessary I felt it made a huge difference in my self-confidence. I can't remember what the procedure was called! Here in Michigan they stopped doing it because there were some lawsuits. Boohoo I did not do it for cosmetic at that time or beauty purposes but it was a necessity because my whole face dropped so bad my lip dropped and it was hard for me to even keep food in my moth it was awful! So good for you! Congratulations on ur weight loss too! As woman of a certain age we need to take care of ourselves no matter what it is ! We need to be the best version of ourselves and to be happy about the choices that we make to be the best version of ourselves. Weight-loss is an important health factor to stay vibrant and active ! Again everything u said it's an individual choice that we should each respect of each other ! Love you Marlene and thank you for this video ! Babs ❤️❤️
I LOVE your comment. You are very sweet. You are right, we ladies of a certain age must take as good care of ourselves as possible. I lost 60lbs also and I have a little more to go as that was 2 years ago, but I maintained it~! now i want to rid of 25 more and then buy some pretty dresses. Best of everything to you Babs! You are so lovely and encouraging. ❤
Hello my gorgeous friend! Thank you so much for always being there for me and your support. Yes, I agree that many embrace the wrinkles and sag; I applaud them and if it works for them, then they should continue. Personally, I can do without all the wrinkles and sagging jowls. I feel horrible when I look in the mirror or when I'm reviewing a wig then during editing catch sight of sagging jowl. I'm very self conscience about it. Dysport is what I get as well on my elevens. I'm actually going later today. I didn't know about the Bell's palsy. Good for you for being able to get the balance you needed/wanted. I hope you're doing well, my friend. We need to catch up soon! Love you, Babs! xoxo
Hi Marlene, So good to see you. You look wonderful…… I thought you had already had your face lift…… you look amazing……. I love your haircut and the gray looks great on you…… I would have a full face lift in a minute if I could afford it. So I totally understand. I don’t see any jowls. But we all have things that bother us. You have done amazing on your weight loss. Keep up the great work. You look so happy. Im excited for you. Will be praying for you. So thankful for the update. Have a great evening. 🙏💕
Hi Debbie, thank you so much for visiting and the sweet compliment! I'm really happy with the weight loss. Hopefully, I can shed the next 30. We'll see. I am happy and once I get some of the pebbles in the middle of my road, I'm sure I'll be better. Thank you for the prayers. I appreciate them. Hope all is well with you! xoxo
Oh WOW! I didn’t even know this kind of facelift was possible! Excited to see your results! I LOOOOOVE your haircut! I’ve already told you though. 😂 I’ve been intermittent fasting for 3 yrs, so I get it! Do what works for YOU, and especially what makes you feel better!!! I saw a nice little WW food idea the other day on youtube… cucumber slices, dry them, put a bit of laughing cow cheese in between two slices, and then dip the edges in Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Nice little side with a meal! I can’t wait to try that. I love a big salad every day and those would go nicely along side.
years young and everyone takes me for under 55. Everytime I get a compliment, I secretly say, "Thank you Dr. Baker" (my surgeon). I had the full facelift and neck lift at. one time. Didn't have to but I figured once I was under why not. Thank you for all your reviews all your chats; you are inspiring
HI Mary Ann, thank you so much for stopping by, sharing, and your encouragement. I'm really debating if I should go for the full face lift. As you said, might as well take advantage while we're under. I hate to think I'm having the lower face but still have to go for Botox on my forehead every 3 months. It just gets worse with all the wrinkles. xoxo
You look gorgeous! All your hard work has paid off and you can pull off any hair look! Love this short style on you and even the color rocks! Thanks for the mention and for being such a wonderful friend! Hugs!
So good to see you!!! I LOVE your hair, Marlene. You truly look fabulous. I can see how excited you are about your mini facelift. I am so happy for you. Maybe you will take us on the journey with you. Congratulations for the weight loss, and better health. My Nepresso is one of my top 5 purchases the last 2 years!! Love you, my beautiful friend...MaryEllen
Hi MaryEllen! Thank you so much! It's so much easier not having to fuss with my hair when wearing wigs, and I actually like this short. Must be the novelty since I've never had my hair this short. I will certainly be taking you on my journey. I just love my Nespresso! I can't believe I've waited this long to get it! Love you, my beautiful friend! xoxo Marlene
People need to do whatever they need to do, Marlene. Your hair looks ADORABLE! Chic! I can tell you that the weight loss made a dramatic difference in your face. It took YEARS off, Marlene. The jowls melted off. This sounds so snarky but I mean it as a huge compliment, Marlene; just scan back through old thumbnails & you'll see! 25 years younger! Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
Hi Jackie! Thank you so much! I know just what you mean and you never ever come across as snarky! I look back to some of my wig reviews/ pictures from a year ago, and I can really see the difference. I hope all is well with you, my friend! xoxo
I'm really surprised, had you asked about a short cut, i would have said no. But oh my goodness your hair looks amazing. I cut mine just above my shoulders last week. And went a sandy colour lol. Still not sure but it will grow. I went back and watched a little of an older video, you look so much younger really truly the weight loss (did not think you needed weight loss) loving you. Wish I could walk, but we are given our lot and deal with it. So so very happy for your surgery ❤ i sleep on my back in the hope it helps lol. Trouble is my backs wider. But yada yada. Phoenix beautiful name xxx loves you. My first watched video in ages. I struggle with my Multiple sclerosis UK rubbish i get zero treatment. Have you seen the UK prices recently rocketed. And tax too. Shopping for food is rediculous. So expensive. Love you keep it up new you 💛 ❤ 💙 🐶🐾🐾
I just love you and everything you are about!!! Such wonderful information and you the perfect example of what all of us can strive for in our lives as we age! Not that you didn't convince me before, but WW app, here I come! You look fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haircut is great..i have had a couple things done also.. and happy with it all.. but 2 weeks ago i had my lips tattooed along with my eyebrows.. love love it,,, they use pigment now instead of ink...another thing to think about...lol ... 21 years ago eyebrows were done with ink,,, finally faded now...
Oh yay! Hooray on your upcoming facelift! I don’t know if it’s the lighting but I honestly thought when you started talking about it you’d already had one! I was going to have a neck and mini facelift in 2020, but then we all know why that never happened. I’m just a year younger and am having the same issue, although my neck is really bad, uneven really. Make sure you have a great plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Are you still living down here part time? I love your haircut and have been looking at some of your skin care recommendations too. Blessings to you and your family. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! ❤️
Hi Sharon, thank you so much! Yes, it's the lighting and face angles. Notice I don't show my profile even during my wig reviews and one reason why I don't review very short styles. I always feel no one will look at the wigs because they're looking at my jowls. I have a wonderful surgeon that I've known for years. I think it'll be fine. I'm actually now in Florida all year. I hope you're having a great start to your week. Love of love, sweet friend! xoxo
Ha Ha! I've not watched your shows til today when I was drawn in by the title with "face lift" in it and I thought "gosh, her results are great! Her face shape and neck look fabulous! I hope there are before and afters!" I was shocked to hear you say the surgery wasn't til September! Needless to say, you look great, especially with the super cute haircut! Many women have too much face for a short hair cut, but it looks great on you! Please keep us posted on your procedure, I'd love to see a daily post to monitor your recovery.
I love your haircut, it is so cute on you! Congratulations on your weight loss, I’m sure you feel a lot more healthy with your good diet and exercise. I hope you will still continue to do videos on here, I enjoy your videos! Take care💕
You look STUNNING! You always have, but you are clearly on a positive path and you are glowing from confidence and determination! You are always an inspiration, and you just need to do what means the most to you. I, too, thought you have already had a facelift! :)) Keep doing what you are doing, and I greatly appreciate your honesty and openness. Please take care. xoxo
I honestly thought this was a post facelift video, your jawline looks tight to me. You look great. I'm in Europe and I think we often have shorter, also minimum makeup. I think it is fashions. You look wonderful.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I apologize, my intention was not to be deceptive I thought that by adding what I was going to talk about in the thumbnail and title, it would be let everyone know. Thank you for the lovely compliment. When I document my facelift, I'll show before and afters. I wish my jawline was not as sagging as it is. xoxo
Hi Marlene, congratulations on your weight loss. You look incredible. I love the hair cut. I really don't think you need a face lift because as I said you look incredible, however, you gotta do what makes you happy. Good luck with the procedure!
Hi Marlene! Your new haircut looks so good on you. I've been growing my hair out and have finally reached just below my shoulders. That's about when I'm ready to throw in the towel and go short again! It's such a cycle! Before I forget, I want to say that your earring are really cute. I might have to consider trying some wigs. Sounds like the best of both worlds! Does your head get hot when you wear the wig? Congratulations on that fantastic weight loss! I lost about 45 pounds a couple of years ago on WW and have been able to keep it off. What a difference! Especially since I'm only 5'3" and 73! All things in moderation!
Hi Marlene, I have watched you for years. I admire your honesty and your personality. I would love to hear more on your journeys. I also always love your make up/ skin care videos. You are a beautiful lady. Inside and out.
I love how you also included some helpful products. Also, that book sounds great. Is the lip color you have on in the downbar? I love it. I am fair and ( bottle ash blonde) lol but I think it would love it on me. Thanks Marlene!
Hi DT, thank you so much for visiting and your support! I will certainly document my journey. Yes, I have the lipstick in the description box. It's #388. If I'm not wearing this one, I wear PayDay by Huda Beauty or Pillow Talk 3 Intense by Charlotte Tilbury. xoxo
So nice to see you, Marlene. You look beautiful. Yes, life gets in the way sometimes and things that are out of our control come along. We've missed you and are happy to have you here with us again. Much love to you. - xx, Carla
Hi Carla, so nice to see you too! Thank you so much! Yep, life gets in the way when we least expect it, that's for sure. I hope all is well with you, my friend! Much love xoxo
Marlene you look spectacular!!!!..I love your hair, your skin your makeup, everything!!!!…good luck with your mini facelift!!.you will look even more incredible, if possible!!!!…SO great to see you!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love your hair Marlene! You look fabulous . . . . and leaving the grey looks really good on you. I can't wait to see how your partial lift goes b/c that's exactly what I would like to do myself. I hate my double chin. You've given yourself a new vibe and younger look. I'm so happy for you!! hugs xo
I am new here. Looking back over past videos, you look better than ever. You look amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey and helping those of us struggling to stay on track.
Happy Spring Marlene! Love your new haircut & your natural salt/pepper looks fine - very chic! I bet it's so much easier & cooler under wigs. I applaud you for your new body and all the work you've put into yourself. You go girl and do what your heart wants, get mini facelift if it makes you happy! Although you might want to check into POD Threads. I know several people that have gotten them after major weight loss & even aging causes gravity. You look fantastic and I'm so happy for you!
Hi Tami, Happy Spring! Thank you so much! My brother had the threads but when I asked the surgeon, I was told surgery would be my best option since the sagging is pretty advanced. There isn't much price difference and the lift will last longer. I have an appt for a second opinion. I'll keep everyone posted. Hope all is well with you! xoxo
I found your channel pre-wig. The purple was beautiful and no doubt the upkeep was time consuming. Clearly I need a keratin treatment! I do suffer from the Florida frizzies. Marlene, if I had the funds, I would be all over any cosmetic procedures. You go girl! Congrats on the weight reduction too. Goodness, that is amazing. I haven't checked out Weight Watchers in years.
Congratulations on your new hair cut and the huge weight loss. It really makes a difference in how you feel. My Otho doctor said for every lb. you lose, it takes 5 lbs. of pressure off of your knees.
Hi Sheila, thank you so much for stopping by and the lovely compliments! Wow! I did not know that about the pounds lost and the pressure off the knees. Goodness, with over 60 pounds that I've shed, no wonder I have no more knee pain. I was actually going to PT 3 times per week due to the excruciating pain and inability to walk very far. Hope all is well with you! xoxo
Love the haircut! Looking forward to hearing about your facelift journey. Sounds like what I would like to have. The surgeon selection is so hard! It is making me nuts. Glad the weight loss is making you feel better. ❤️❤️
Hi Susan, thank you so much! I will certainly share my journey. I agree the surgeon selection is hard. I think I was really fortunate when I found mine a few years ago. xoxo
Your haircut looks fantastic on you. Goes great with your face shape. I recently went short and already went gray during Covid, so much easier. Looking forward to your face lift experience. Good for you.
Hello Marlene! I love your new look 🤩! I understand and respect your choice of doing a partial facelift, I don't think that you need it. You look fabulous and glam. You look so skinny. Looking great! You are doing great. Blessings.
Hi Marlene. Congratulations on your new weight and health. Your hair looks great. You face looks so good that when I say facelift I thought that you had already had one done. I don't see any lax on your lower face, it looks really nice. I'll be waiting for your updates on the surgery. Have you tried threads? Lifting threads are so effective although not permanent.
Hi Xassy, thank you so much for visiting and the compliments. I did speak to the surgeon regarding the threads, but they advised against it. I think due to my age and the stage of the jowls. When I show the before/after pictures, you'll be able to see. I don't show my profile in videos, and they're not very noticeable when I'm facing forward. I hope all is well with you. xoxo
Oh Marlene love that haircut on you and your salt and pepper color looks so beautiful on you. Congratulations on your weight lost, heck I thought you already had a facelift. I’m still dragging my feet starting WW, wish I had a buddy to start with to share what we eat and keep me on tract. You look stunning. Can’t wait to see your journey on your mini facelift. Yes, love that essence it’s so good on my dry skin.🥰❤️ I miss your videos on what you eat. Is your hubby doing WW with you too?
Your looking great and love your new style Marlene. I didnt quite hear what you said about the facelift the 1st time, so I watched this again. I thought you already had it. Congrats on the weight loss! Im losing slowly, but surely. Finnally got off those 10lbs since moving back to WA. Good to hear from you!
Congratulations on doing what you want to do for you!!! Your haircut is super cute and it looks great on you! I am sure the partial facelift will look fabulous!!
Loving your hair, Marlene! It is great to take a break. Life does get in the way. I bet having short hair is nice during the Florida heat. LOVING the back of your hair. I just did botox today lol. You do what makes you feel great. I'm interested in what you do. WHOA 64 pounds wonderful!!!! SO proud of you and you should be proud of yourself as well. You have discipline. Oh how I wish the Chanel no 1 worked for me. Oh well. lol. So good to see my friend!! Miss your beautiful face and voice! XOXO
You probably won’t see this but I want to buy the blender and some smoothies - which smoothies do you recommend that work with weight watchers? Love your hair!
Hi Carole, yes, I can see all the comments :-) You can drink any of the Blendjet smoothies. Before you purchase, look up their points on the WW app. Personally, I prefer unsweetened almond milk, Orgain Protein Powder, frozen unsweetened berries, and add about 2 ounces of Premier Protein drink for extra flavor. One of the things I love most about WW is that we don't have to give up any foods we like. If there's a smoothie I want to drink, I just make sure to track the points and plan my meals accordingly. xoxo Marlene
Good for you! I’ve gotten Botox to my 11s on my forehead & filler under my eyes over the years. I agree if it’s something that makes you feel good than you should do it.
You look absolutely fabulous Marlene! You looked fabulous before you lost weight as well! I don’t see any jowls or a need for your facelift but you go girl and do what you want! We all see our own things in our skin and I would love to do the same, but I don’t have the money for that. I can’t wait to see what it looks like although your face and skin look amazing. I’ve never tried weight watchers but I can’t do these low-carb diet‘s where all you eat is chicken and vegetables. I just can’t live like that and I don’t feel good on that type of weight loss program. So did you do everything online with the WW app because I think I could do that and I need to get rid of 20 pounds bad!
So happy for you on your weight loss! Especially given up rice! Que va! I couldn’t but I do measure so I can allow myself with my black beans. Congrats again my Cuban friend
Hola Clara! Thank you for stopping by! LOL, it was not easy giving up the rice but that was entirely my choice; I've learned to whip up all kinds of dishes with cauliflower rice. Go figure! Happy Monday, beautiful! xoxo
Marlene, love your new haircut! You look gorgeous today. You may have already mentioned this in one of your videos, but how do get your teeth so white? Are they veneers?
Hi Gabby, thank you so much for visiting! I don't have veneers. Years ago, a dentist totally ruined my 4 front teeth. I was fortunate to find an incredibly wonderful dentist that fixed the mess the other one had done by adding some implants and bridge. They're far from perfect but much better than the mess the first guy left behind. I hope all is well with you. xoxo
It’s great seeing you, I’ve missed you. I like your hair cut! You do what you want to do and don’t worry about anyone else’s opinion. Take care and God Bless! ❤️
Loving your hair. I can't wait to see the results of your lift. I can't stand my turkey neck and would love to do this. Congratulations on your weight loss. I love walking. Sending Love.
Hey Marlene!! Love love your hair!! Wow u lost a lot of weight huh? Your top half I can really tell, I need to see bottom half now, 😂. I don’t see any jowls on u… glad ur doing something that will make u happy!! I agree with Botox, facelifts etc, I haven’t got anything so far, but definitely would consider it! Looking beautiful! Have a great day!!👍😘
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you! No, I don't use teeth whitener except for Hello Charcoal toothpaste. I had a dentist years ago that totally messed up my 4 front teeth plus a few others. Thankfully, I found an amazing dentist that was able to fix all the damage with a bridge and implants. xoxo
Your hair looks just adorable. I am so excited about your partial lift!!! I can't wait to follow your journey and I know you are excited about it. Anything a woman wants to do to feel better about herself I say is wonderful!!! I really want Doug to look into Weight Watchers. I think he would do well on it.

Oh yay! Hooray on your upcoming facelift! I don’t know if it’s the lighting but I honestly thought when you started talking about it you’d already had one! I was going to have a neck and mini facelift in 2020, but then we all know why that never happened. I’m just a year younger and am having the same issue, although my neck is really bad, uneven really. Make sure you have a great plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Are you still living down here part time? I love your haircut and have been looking at some of your skin care recommendations too. Blessings to you and your family. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! ❤️
Hi Sharon, thank you so much! Yes, it's the lighting and face angles. Notice I don't show my profile even during my wig reviews and one reason why I don't review very short styles. I always feel no one will look at the wigs because they're looking at my jowls. I have a wonderful surgeon that I've known for years. I think it'll be fine. I'm actually now in Florida all year. I hope you're having a great start to your week. Love of love, sweet friend! xoxo
I love your hairstyle Marlene. I enjoy all your videos
Thank you so much, Joan! xoxo
Ha Ha! I've not watched your shows til today when I was drawn in by the title with "face lift" in it and I thought "gosh, her results are great! Her face shape and neck look fabulous! I hope there are before and afters!" I was shocked to hear you say the surgery wasn't til September! Needless to say, you look great, especially with the super cute haircut! Many women have too much face for a short hair cut, but it looks great on you! Please keep us posted on your procedure, I'd love to see a daily post to monitor your recovery.
I love your haircut, it is so cute on you! Congratulations on your weight loss, I’m sure you feel a lot more healthy with your good diet and exercise. I hope you will still continue to do videos on here, I enjoy your videos! Take care💕
You look STUNNING! You always have, but you are clearly on a positive path and you are glowing from confidence and determination! You are always an inspiration, and you just need to do what means the most to you. I, too, thought you have already had a facelift! :)) Keep doing what you are doing, and I greatly appreciate your honesty and openness. Please take care. xoxo
Hi Julianna, thank you so much for visiting, your support, and the sweet compliment! Wishing you a fabulous week! xoxo
I honestly thought this was a post facelift video, your jawline looks tight to me. You look great. I'm in Europe and I think we often have shorter, also minimum makeup. I think it is fashions. You look wonderful.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I apologize, my intention was not to be deceptive I thought that by adding what I was going to talk about in the thumbnail and title, it would be let everyone know. Thank you for the lovely compliment. When I document my facelift, I'll show before and afters. I wish my jawline was not as sagging as it is. xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 oh no I didn't take it as deceptive at all. I'm just saying you look great.
Oh good! I'm so happy to hear. It always concerns me that I may not be as transparent as I hoped to be. xoxo
Hi Marlene, congratulations on your weight loss. You look incredible. I love the hair cut. I really don't think you need a face lift because as I said you look incredible, however, you gotta do what makes you happy. Good luck with the procedure!
Hi Marina, thank you so much for all the sweet compliments! Happy Monday! xoxo
Hi Marlene! Your new haircut looks so good on you. I've been growing my hair out and have finally reached just below my shoulders. That's about when I'm ready to throw in the towel and go short again! It's such a cycle! Before I forget, I want to say that your earring are really cute. I might have to consider trying some wigs. Sounds like the best of both worlds! Does your head get hot when you wear the wig? Congratulations on that fantastic weight loss! I lost about 45 pounds a couple of years ago on WW and have been able to keep it off. What a difference! Especially since I'm only 5'3" and 73! All things in moderation!
Hi Marlene, I have watched you for years. I admire your honesty and your personality. I would love to hear more on your journeys. I also always love your make up/ skin care videos. You are a beautiful lady. Inside and out.
I love how you also included some helpful products. Also, that book sounds great. Is the lip color you have on in the downbar? I love it. I am fair and ( bottle ash blonde) lol but I think it would love it on me. Thanks Marlene!
Hi DT, thank you so much for visiting and your support! I will certainly document my journey. Yes, I have the lipstick in the description box. It's #388. If I'm not wearing this one, I wear PayDay by Huda Beauty or Pillow Talk 3 Intense by Charlotte Tilbury. xoxo
So nice to see you, Marlene. You look beautiful. Yes, life gets in the way sometimes and things that are out of our control come along. We've missed you and are happy to have you here with us again. Much love to you. - xx, Carla
Hi Carla, so nice to see you too! Thank you so much! Yep, life gets in the way when we least expect it, that's for sure. I hope all is well with you, my friend! Much love xoxo
Marlene you look spectacular!!!!..I love your hair, your skin your makeup, everything!!!!…good luck with your mini facelift!!.you will look even more incredible, if possible!!!!…SO great to see you!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hi there, Beautiful! Thank you so much for all the sweet compliments! Hope all is well with you! xoxo
I love your hair Marlene! You look fabulous . . . . and leaving the grey looks really good on you. I can't wait to see how your partial lift goes b/c that's exactly what I would like to do myself. I hate my double chin. You've given yourself a new vibe and younger look. I'm so happy for you!! hugs xo
I am new here. Looking back over past videos, you look better than ever. You look amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey and helping those of us struggling to stay on track.
Happy Spring Marlene! Love your new haircut & your natural salt/pepper looks fine - very chic! I bet it's so much easier & cooler under wigs. I applaud you for your new body and all the work you've put into yourself. You go girl and do what your heart wants, get mini facelift if it makes you happy! Although you might want to check into POD Threads. I know several people that have gotten them after major weight loss & even aging causes gravity. You look fantastic and I'm so happy for you!
Hi Tami, Happy Spring! Thank you so much! My brother had the threads but when I asked the surgeon, I was told surgery would be my best option since the sagging is pretty advanced. There isn't much price difference and the lift will last longer. I have an appt for a second opinion. I'll keep everyone posted. Hope all is well with you! xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 Congratulations on brother's up coming wedding...you're going to look great on his special day.
Your hair looks so cute like that!
Thank you so much, Robynn! xoxo Marlene
I found your channel pre-wig. The purple was beautiful and no doubt the upkeep was time consuming. Clearly I need a keratin treatment! I do suffer from the Florida frizzies. Marlene, if I had the funds, I would be all over any cosmetic procedures. You go girl! Congrats on the weight reduction too. Goodness, that is amazing. I haven't checked out Weight Watchers in years.
So glad you are taking good care of yourself!😍 Really enjoyed watching it🥰
Congratulations on your new hair cut and the huge weight loss. It really makes a difference in how you feel. My Otho doctor said for every lb. you lose, it takes 5 lbs. of pressure off of your knees.
Hi Sheila, thank you so much for stopping by and the lovely compliments! Wow! I did not know that about the pounds lost and the pressure off the knees. Goodness, with over 60 pounds that I've shed, no wonder I have no more knee pain. I was actually going to PT 3 times per week due to the excruciating pain and inability to walk very far. Hope all is well with you! xoxo
Greetings Marlene! I had to drop in and chat with you! So glad you are feeling so great lately. You look amazing! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Hi Jean! Thank you so much for dropping in and the sweet compliment! Love and hugs! xoxo
Love the haircut! Looking forward to hearing about your facelift journey. Sounds like what I would like to have. The surgeon selection is so hard! It is making me nuts. Glad the weight loss is making you feel better. ❤️❤️
Hi Susan, thank you so much! I will certainly share my journey. I agree the surgeon selection is hard. I think I was really fortunate when I found mine a few years ago. xoxo
Wow! your beautiful, you don't need wigs!
Your hair looks great!
Thank you!!! xoxo
Love your hair !!
Thank you! xoxo
Your haircut looks fantastic on you. Goes great with your face shape.
I recently went short and already went gray during Covid, so much easier.
Looking forward to your face lift experience. Good for you.
Hi Kim, thank you so much for visiting and the sweet compliment. Hair this short is really so much easier. I will certainly document my journey. xoxo
Hello Marlene! I love your new look 🤩! I understand and respect your choice of doing a partial facelift, I don't think that you need it. You look fabulous and glam.
You look so skinny. Looking great! You are doing great.
Blessings.
That hair cut is great on you, it really suits you. You don’t need wigs hun
Thank you! LOL, I wear wigs because it's fun for me to change my style and color daily xoxo
Hi Marlene. Congratulations on your new weight and health. Your hair looks great. You face looks so good that when I say facelift I thought that you had already had one done. I don't see any lax on your lower face, it looks really nice. I'll be waiting for your updates on the surgery. Have you tried threads? Lifting threads are so effective although not permanent.
Hi Xassy, thank you so much for visiting and the compliments. I did speak to the surgeon regarding the threads, but they advised against it. I think due to my age and the stage of the jowls. When I show the before/after pictures, you'll be able to see. I don't show my profile in videos, and they're not very noticeable when I'm facing forward. I hope all is well with you. xoxo
Oh Marlene love that haircut on you and your salt and pepper color looks so beautiful on you. Congratulations on your weight lost, heck I thought you already had a facelift. I’m still dragging my feet starting WW, wish I had a buddy to start with to share what we eat and keep me on tract. You look stunning. Can’t wait to see your journey on your mini facelift. Yes, love that essence it’s so good on my dry skin.🥰❤️ I miss your videos on what you eat. Is your hubby doing WW with you too?
Your hair looks adorable. Your face looks beautiful. I like your natural color.
Your looking great and love your new style Marlene. I didnt quite hear what you said about the facelift the 1st time, so I watched this again. I thought you already had it. Congrats on the weight loss! Im losing slowly, but surely. Finnally got off those 10lbs since moving back to WA. Good to hear from you!
Congratulations on doing what you want to do for you!!! Your haircut is super cute and it looks great on you! I am sure the partial facelift will look fabulous!!
Hi Millie, thank you so much! xoxo
Beautiful haircut! Absolutely love it!
Thank you so much! xoxo
Loving your hair, Marlene! It is great to take a break. Life does get in the way. I bet having short hair is nice during the Florida heat. LOVING the back of your hair. I just did botox today lol. You do what makes you feel great. I'm interested in what you do. WHOA 64 pounds wonderful!!!! SO proud of you and you should be proud of yourself as well. You have discipline. Oh how I wish the Chanel no 1 worked for me. Oh well. lol. So good to see my friend!! Miss your beautiful face and voice! XOXO
Your make up is so beautiful!
Thank you so much, Laura! xoxo
You probably won’t see this but I want to buy the blender and some smoothies - which smoothies do you recommend that work with weight watchers? Love your hair!
Hi Carole, yes, I can see all the comments :-) You can drink any of the Blendjet smoothies. Before you purchase, look up their points on the WW app. Personally, I prefer unsweetened almond milk, Orgain Protein Powder, frozen unsweetened berries, and add about 2 ounces of Premier Protein drink for extra flavor. One of the things I love most about WW is that we don't have to give up any foods we like. If there's a smoothie I want to drink, I just make sure to track the points and plan my meals accordingly. xoxo Marlene
Good for you! I’ve gotten Botox to my 11s on my forehead & filler under my eyes over the years. I agree if it’s something that makes you feel good than you should do it.
Love your hair... just beautiful with your face shape.
Thank you so much! xoxo
Love the new look! Beautiful!
Thank you so much, Kim! xoxo
You look absolutely fabulous Marlene! You looked fabulous before you lost weight as well! I don’t see any jowls or a need for your facelift but you go girl and do what you want! We all see our own things in our skin and I would love to do the same, but I don’t have the money for that. I can’t wait to see what it looks like although your face and skin look amazing. I’ve never tried weight watchers but I can’t do these low-carb diet‘s where all you eat is chicken and vegetables. I just can’t live like that and I don’t feel good on that type of weight loss program. So did you do everything online with the WW app because I think I could do that and I need to get rid of 20 pounds bad!
So happy for you on your weight loss! Especially given up rice! Que va! I couldn’t but I do measure so I can allow myself with my black beans. Congrats again my Cuban friend
Hola Clara! Thank you for stopping by! LOL, it was not easy giving up the rice but that was entirely my choice; I've learned to whip up all kinds of dishes with cauliflower rice. Go figure! Happy Monday, beautiful! xoxo
I L-O-O-O-O-V-V-E YOUR new haircut!! ❤💛💚💙💜💗
Thank you so much! xoxo
Adorable!!
Thank you! xoxo
Marlene, love your new haircut! You look gorgeous today. You may have already mentioned this in one of your videos, but how do get your teeth so white? Are they veneers?
Hi Gabby, thank you so much for visiting! I don't have veneers. Years ago, a dentist totally ruined my 4 front teeth. I was fortunate to find an incredibly wonderful dentist that fixed the mess the other one had done by adding some implants and bridge. They're far from perfect but much better than the mess the first guy left behind. I hope all is well with you. xoxo
You skin is beautiful, jowl’s? Sometimes we pick ourselves apart. Your beautiful period
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment! xoxo
You look fabulous Marlene. You can really notice your weight loss in your face. I love your hair style. It looks so nice on you.
Hi Joan! Thank you so much! My weight loss always shows on my upper parts; it's the bottom that I have difficulty with... xoxo
It’s great seeing you, I’ve missed you. I like your hair cut! You do what you want to do and don’t worry about anyone else’s opinion. Take care and God Bless! ❤️
Hi Debbie, thank you so much for visiting! It's great seeing you too! You take care and hope all is well with you! xoxo PS... I will :-)
You look so lovely Marlene! 💟
Thank you so much, Gina! Hope all is well with you! xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 Yes, all is well. Spring has sprung! Sending you and your family blessings💐
When I was your age, I had my facelift and I don't regret it for a second. I am 73
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I'm so looking forward to it! xoxo
Loving your hair. I can't wait to see the results of your lift. I can't stand my turkey neck and would love to do this. Congratulations on your weight loss. I love walking. Sending Love.
Hi 👋
Hey Marlene!! Love love your hair!! Wow u lost a lot of weight huh? Your top half I can really tell, I need to see bottom half now, 😂. I don’t see any jowls on u… glad ur doing something that will make u happy!! I agree with Botox, facelifts etc, I haven’t got anything so far, but definitely would consider it! Looking beautiful! Have a great day!!👍😘
I love your cut! Beautiful.
Thank you so much, Connie! xoxo
Hi Marlene how are you my beautiful friend? I love your hair cut, you look incredible beautiful. ❤️
Your hair is so cute! You look much younger with your thinner face too..
Thank you so much, Donna! xoxo
You look amazing with that short hair. If I could afford it I'd get a complete head to toe lift. So you go girl.
Thank you so much, Judy! xoxo
I'm here first ! I'll be back after I finish watching ❤️
You are beautiful! Your teeth look bright and white! Do you use a teeth whitener?
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you! No, I don't use teeth whitener except for Hello Charcoal toothpaste. I had a dentist years ago that totally messed up my 4 front teeth plus a few others. Thankfully, I found an amazing dentist that was able to fix all the damage with a bridge and implants. xoxo
xoxoxo
Hi, stranger! Miss you! Blessings! Jacks
