HI GIRLS AND GUYS, OH MY GOSH, I HAD A REALIZATION THAT I AM OLD, HAHA. IT ALL STARTED WITH A TRIP WHICH I WILL GO OVER IN THE VIDEO. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A WAKE UP MOMENT THAT REALLY SHOWED YOU YOUR AGE? NO MATTER WHAT WE DO TO OURSELVES TO LOOK OUR BEST, THERE IS NO DENYING THAT WHEN WE TRULY GET SET IN OUR WAYS, WE FACE THE TRUTH. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR OWN REALIZATIONS AS TO WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO THE POINT OF KNOWING YOU ARE OLD, OR OLDER, AGING AND SEASONED.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

Great video Sheila,
I’ve got to have my own pillow . Theirs no place like home when you get older. Much love to you 🥰
At 71 I have only spent 4 nights away from home over the past five years. I use to fly a lot for vacations and family and since Covid and all the chaos over the past 4 years prefer to stay home with my cats. My husband, who is ten years younger has taken two driving trips without me and that’s no problem, just don’t make me go cuz I won't. I can’t spend 10 hours riding in a car. When I travel I need: noise machine; my pillow; tubes of starbucks coffee-I am a coffee snob and these are pretty good; eye mask; ear plugs; all my own face creams, shampoo and conditioner I put in little travel bottles. Probably not getting on an airplane again and maybe not traveling at all again. I have a good busy life in my community and like you in good shape for getting in and out of tubs. I play pickleball and I am in a ukulele group who performs publicly. Physically I am grateful to say I am in good health and credit my fortunate genetics and always risk avoidance though I have suffered injuries from my equestrian days but I survived it all. Love your channel; your vibe and telling it like it is without apology. Cheers and keep making videos watching here from San Diego.
Mine is heating pad also, cotton balls for ear plugs for bedtime, my own pillow, heavy whipping cream for my coffee,
I’m with you!! I need my fan blowing on me too!
Plus I take my Bible.
Oh aren’t we funny😀 I’m 71
Hi Mary Kay, thank you so much for your comment and for sharing. We definitely are funny but at least we are honest, right? Several people in the comments have said that they have to have a fan blowing on them so I guess that is pretty common for us seniors. Noise doesn’t bother me yet, but that is a great idea about using cotton balls for your ears. Dave needs his own pillow because he sleeps on a wedge pillow so that he is somewhat inclined. He did not take it on this trip because it was just one night, but if we went somewhere for a week, he would definitely have to take it. Cars have gotten smaller and smaller over the years, but I need a big one just to haul my creature comforts! Love, Sheila.
Sheila, you’re making me laugh because lately we’ve talked about getting tall toilets. I can also relate to the knee pillow and all of the creature comforts age related. It’s difficult to travel as we get older and I’m beginning to be a real homebody. I love my bed and my bathtub. Age is a funny thing. Love to you. ❤
😆As always, we’re on the same page😆. I have a suitcase on wheels for my travels. It stays packed with my creature comforts. Almost identical to yours 😂. Heating pad, knee pillow, etc. The standard toilets are a huge issue for me with no grab bars. My daughter even had a tall toilet & grab bars installed for me when I visit in her new her home.
Hi Jocelyn, thank you so much for your comment and for sharing that I am not alone in needing/wanting my creature comforts with me. I don’t have trouble yet getting up and down from a standard toilet,however, it is definitely difficult on those that need the taller one. That was so sweet and kind of your daughter to have a tall toilet and grab bars installed for you when you visit her in her new home. What a thoughtful girl you raised! I just didn’t think about my creature comforts until we decided to take this overnight trip to my grandson’s house. I think I better get a suitcase on wheels for sure! Much love, Sheila.
i just love you your so funny are so real thank you
Hi Sheila …. You made me laugh 😆 because I too take a lot of the same things when I travel …. I keep a packed tote in my pantry that goes with me on trips. It has a Keurig coffee maker, a mug, a heating pad, a fan, a toaster, paper plates, & plastic ware …. The night before any trip I pack my Green Mountain Breakfast Blend coffee, Premier protein drinks, bananas & MOSH protein bars .. When I get to my destination I have to purchase coffee mate in the liquid .. Hate the powder …. Any hotel I stay at has to at least have a microwave & fridge. I don’t think it has to do as much with age as it does us being a little spoiled and needing our ‘home comforts’ with us. I’ve had a packed tote ready to go since I was in my 40s and I’m 63 now lol .. I will drink coffee from restaurants or a Starbucks if I’m out shopping. But in my hotel room and first thing in the morning I want my own …. Great topic and you’re not alone. Many of us just like you!
Loved the INTip 🙌♥️ .. Have a fabulous & blessed weekend sweet friend!
Love & Hugs, Karen ♥️🤗
I have traveled so much in my life (was actually living in hotels for over 15 years!) so I realize I can live without anything. ♥ Elle
You need a comb,soapteethbrush!
These aren't old people necessities ,, these are items of comfort that make life worth living❤❤❤😊
Hi Cynthia, thank you so much for your comment. I love your outlook on creature comforts! even if we did not need to take anything with us, why not be good to ourselves and take the things that we feel matter to us and make a difference. If it gets to the point where I need a wheelchair or walker, I am not going to look at the reason is because I am old, thanks to your uplifting comment. Love, Sheila.
I just love how you always keep it real!
All that PLUS a Cpap.
Hi and thank you so much for your comment. For me, there is no other way to be but real. As we age, we are free to be ourselves and I thank you for appreciating that. Love, Sheila
Hi Sheila new subscriber here lovely to see you, i am 70 next year and don't drink coffee but have to have decaffeinated Yorkshire tea bags i live in the U.K.
Also hot water bottle my feet are always cold i suppose i could take my electric blanket but thats just to big 😂, plasters just in case i get a blister from walking to much , oh and powdered milk🙄i swear I'm getting worse😂 will be binge watching your videos after this thank you ❤😘
As you were talking, I had my heating pad on. I have to have a fan just for noise when we go away even in the winter. I have to have my satin pillowcase, my own toiletries and hair tools. I'm sure there's others than I can't think of right off hand. And yes, like you I cannot live without the comfort of the Lord. Thank you for the reading of the Word!
@@kathystclair9485 Hi Kathy, thank you so much for your comment and for sharing. Besides a heating pad helping with an aching back, it is very comforting to me. Glad you enjoy your heating pad as well. I do like the noise of a fan, I didn’t think to mention that in the video. I also sleep with a satin pillowcase, did not think to take it for this one night trip, but if I went away for a week, it would definitely come with me. I believe we all have some creature comforts that have to come with us, whether we just want them for comfort or need them. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the inside beauty tip. I have one at the end of every single video I do they always include, a scripture reading. The comfort of the Lord is not something we have to pack to take with us, God gives us comfort at all times and where would we be without it? Love, Sheila.
Hi! I'm a new subscriber and I wanted to say "Thank you!" for this video! I am 64 years old and have multiple disc deterioration (presumably from a bad fall I had a few years ago). Also, arthritis! Horrible pain in my neck and shoulder blade. But - I was made to feel that I was too "High Maintenance" when I was a younger woman. Your video here has helped me so much to over come that feeling that I don't need anything and I'll be content. It's okay to need things! I'm going to get that heating pad you talked about and a wedge pillow for my head and neck. Thank you Sheila! You have helped me to start to take better care of myself and not feel guilty about it. God Bless You!
@@mindymarie3379 Hi Mindy, thank you so much for your comment and your kind words. I am so happy that you are a new subscriber and I look forward to getting to know you. First of all, let me say that I am very sorry that you have such pain from a bad fall that you had many years ago and also arthritis. My heart goes out to you having to deal with pain each and every day. Of course you need things for comfort and you have every right to have them to live a better life. You are not high maintenance, you are someone who needs, some things to live a better quality of life. Mindy, never ever feel guilty about taking care of yourself and meeting the needs that you require. Do not care what others may think, because what they think doesn’t matter one bit. What matters is you, your life your body. No one else has walked in your shoes and they have no right to have an opinion. Please make yourself a top priority in your life, know how special you are and that you are worthy. Never feel bad about giving yourself things you need for your own comfort. I am so very grateful that this video has helped you and I thank you so very much for sharing that with me. Love and blessings, Sheila.
@@INSIDEBEAUTYwiththeoldgirl Thank you so very much for your reply! You have helped me more than I can tell you! I look forward to getting to know you too and I will be looking at your previous videos that I missed! Hugs from across the miles! Mindy
@ I am so happy that I have helped you, Mindy. I will be your biggest cheerleader!
I'm with you on the fans, something on my feet also in the house. I love your slippers, where did you get those? I see they have rubber on the bottom...... I do not like to travel at all, I've been like that for a long time, don't like living out of a suit case. I like being in the comfort of my home. To me there is no joy in traveling. :) This was a good video, you covered a lot of things.
OMG, laughing so hard because it is sooooo true. I go across the state of Florida to visit friends and know exactly what you mean. For me its everything+except the fan. Thank you so much beautiful lady, you are the best. I'm 74
Hi and thank you so much for your comment. I am glad I gave you a good laugh because I gave myself one as well, ha ha. There are some creature comforts that we absolutely need and have to take with us, and then there are the ones that are just a part of our daily life, and we don’t want to be without them, even for one short stay. I would rather be comfortable and take those things they leaving them behind. Thank you so much for sharing and for confirming that I am definitely not the only one! Love, Sheila.
Absolutely LOVED your video !! 😘
@@tonyasdelusion4929 thank you so much for your kind words, I sure do appreciate it. Love, Sheila.
I like the way you love your self may God bless you.
Hi Florence, thank you so much for your comment. I could definitely do without some of my creature comforts, at least for one night, but if they bring me peace and comfort, then why not. I am at the stage in my life where I am not going to inconvenience myself. Love and blessings, Sheila.
"Drag part of a toilet with me" has me in stitches. Too funny, but so true. Great video!
Hi Carol, thank you so much for your comment. I am so glad you enjoyed the video and now that I think about it it is pretty funny saying we may get to the point where we have to drag part of the toilet with us! As long as we can laugh about it if and when that time comes, that is all that matters. Love, Sheila.
My creature comforts or necessities start with ear plugs, lavender oil, lavender lotion(all for sleep)Of course medications, including Tylenol and my antacids the one thing I really freak out if I forget them are my "pads", I think you know what "pads" these are LOL and my partial tablets and my container for my partial. Nathan has to have his own pillows and his C-Pap. Great video Sheila, you always come up with some great subjects!! Oh and we take our bibles and our devotional whenever we travel as well!
Oh my goodness, I'm with you on the coffee! I have to take my Yeti coffee cup because I drink my coffee slowly and it stays hot for a long
time.
Hugs from Texas!
❤ hey girl, I love those jeans you are rocking it. Good to hear from you. I’ve been kind of busy hello I gave you my I was talking to my brother about you and I sent him the link so he could follow you. He’s around our age, he was interested because I was talking about you and he said he’s kind of blind but I don’t know whatever he wants to see he’ll see and also I said she has a lovely husband so don’t even go there. He started laughing so have a great day.
You look great Sheila
Hi Tina, thank you so much for your very kind comment! Love, Sheila
MY complete check list!!! I have tall toilets. They make medium too. My family is in Charolette!! They understand. Yes and my parents did too. I think I am in shame because I wasn't patient with my parents!! Please let me enjoy getting older. Fun fact I hate to travel but I always have. I love you. PRAYERS.
Greetings Sheila! Oh my goodness, we are so much alike! I feel very claustrophobic without my fan. I could go on, believe me. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
I loved this video!!! I am just like you!!!!! 😂My husband is worse than me. We sometimes bring a Keurig with us.
@@susanfisher6939 Hi Susan, thank you so much for your comment on this video and please forgive me for my very late response. I am so glad to know. I am not the only one so thank you for sharing that with me. People may say we are set in our ways, but I know what I need and I know what I want and I am not going without my creature comforts, ha ha. Have a very merry Christmas! Love, Sheila
one question... Sheila, have you lived in Montana or Wyoming? I hear a bit of an accent a few times. but the word "worsh"sounded like it!! you are a joy and inspiration!!!!!
Another good one Sheila! Even 7 years ago, when I was a bit younger, had to have my own wash cloths and my own pillow. Also my iPad!
Hahahaha! You are so honest! Love it! I don’t do any of that… but I REALLY miss my “essentials” -I love being home and cozy my way!
Enjoyed this little peek into your quirks. Fun!
allways good to see you like allways
I need someone to help me shlep all the things I must have, I don’t like going over night anymore because I’m comfortable at home. I can’t do without my magnifying mirror my pills make up, hairdryer, pillows, robe slippers, fans , heat pad, electric blanket if going someplace cold, bible, phone, iPad, shower gel Altoids , supplements, flashlight, etc etc . We used to go across country without a phone or bottled water, we’d stop somewhere and get something if needed.no longer carefree! Kind of a drag..
Thanks for video soo fun!!
Hi Aileen, thank you so much for your comment, so pleased that you enjoyed it! Love, Sheila
Oh Sheila, you, once again, had me laughing while telling us all about your must have comfort things you brought with you on your overnight trip. I'm still pretty much a "go with the flow" girl at 74. My last vacation was a 10 day trip to Maui with just a carryon bag and one personal item. As long as I have access to a washer and dryer, I'm good. I do make sure I have my prescription drugs, my Kindle for reading and a pair of comfortable walking/hiking footwear. Although I'm a coffee snob at home, when I travel I'm pretty flexible as long as it's caffeine. I've even been known drink coffee made with one of those coffee bags (like a teabag) and hot water....ha...ha. Good video and good subject.
Thanks for the big laugh this morning! So appropriate since we are leaving for a Disney Cruise this morning with family. Water flosser , celtic sea salt- not bringing all the hair crap since I am getting it washed at salon. Saves a whole huge piece of luggage! Back to finish your video- hilarious!!
I'm new to your channel and just love you! Can really relate to it all. I'm 71 and need to take lots of comfort things too. Your ending was very encouraging. 💖
Hi Wanda, thank you so much for your kind comment, I am so happy that you are here! There is nothing wrong with us needing or desiring our creature comforts. We are at the age where we don’t have to justify our needs and wants to anybody. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the inside beauty tip, my favorite part of every video I do. Encouragement is something we all need to keep us going and we encourage each other. Welcome, and I love you too! Sheila
Sheila, I am the same way! My coffee is a big deal. Girl, you are just too cute!!! ❤
I have mourned grieved and been through both of our health issues.
i have to take a cushion from home with me. One that I know will support my lower back. oh and an extra toilet roll. There might not be enough in the hotel room.
Hi and thank you so much for your comment and for sharing what you do. Even though it involves extra packing when we have to take certain things with us, we know what we need to be comfortable and that is all that matters. This is just another part of aging and growing older and the older we get, the more we’re going to have to drag along with us, ha ha! Love, Sheila.
Your only as old as you feel or think. I'm 70 and I can bury most 29 yesr Olds in physical weight lifting events I feel great quite strong.
❤❤❤
I use none of those, make up, hair stuff. Lol your so cute.cute. 😅😂
Sometimes it is not just comfort but necessary! Some things I can pass on but other things have to come I am 70!
As a contact lens wearer I need to always have my Ivory soap so my hands are clean.
You are so cute and funny !! But seriously you don't need half of that stuff for one night, and you know it !!😊
Grateful that at 73 I am mobile, no meds, and though widowed hope to travel more. God's love and my cat Henry are my main comfort now. And, I prefer organic ☕️ coffee, pour over #4 melita filter, whipped in with adaptogenic mushroom blend and frothed coconut milk. Does that make me a coffee snob? 🤔😂❤🎉
I prefer staying in a hotel when I visit friends and family. You can find senior friendly (ADA) rooms. And you have your privacy, most importantly, after all the fun activities of the day and evening.
Lol! 😂 Sounds very familiar!
Hello, Sheila. Thank you so much for video.
I'm sorry, but i laughed so hard. I'm feelin' ya, girl 😆
Love my tall toilet. I had to use my daughter’s bathroom and yes you are right. I felt like i was fleeing to her basement. I concur with many things you are talking about.
It’s because you are and you come first zone and let’s race it gets harder when you travel now I don’t do too many too much traveling because I like to do my own thing and when you travel, you gotta follow her everybody else schedule but it’s true it gets harder as you get older. A lot of my siblings do not like to travel as often as they used to, so you’re not the only mine, let them come to see you. Let them come to see you.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Sheila I totally identify with you it sounds like you are talking about me.Boy do I need creature's comfort.I also have a long long list of creature's comfort.Most people roll their eyes when they see me packing.They also make fun of me and blame me for having lived in the US to long.I really dont care. It sure nakes me feel very happy and normal to know that there is a great funny lady my age across the ocean who loves her own creature's comfort .I am mobil and medium active but like you I prefer and love my home and my own everything.I'm never bored or lonely the Lord keeps me company .He has the right people to call me visit or find on the net.Sheila you are really fun and down to earth.Conserning taking trips, I have really turned down a lot of it . beeing not beeing able to take all my creature comforts with me.Anyrhing that compromises a good night sleep with a correct room and body temperature is an absolute out of the question..I'm to advance in age not to be able to have a good night sleep.I would feel like a hangover zombie😂😂😂😂😂.I do have like you a small clip on fan on my night table. I surely need that breeze on my face.You have no idea how happy you made me feel to know that I dont belong to a rare species.Love your videos you are great God bless you.
You're as adorable as Tinkerbell..
Hi Wendy, thank you so much for your sweet words! Love, Sheila
i have to have socks and slippers i only wear in hotel rooms. i think everything in that room is full of body excretions. sorry.i have to have certain pjs too. and peter, my bunny who has traveled the world and to hawaii 6 times. Pete is looking very loved now. other than that I can offer up many comforts that I enjoy at home.I think if you took trips more often, you would find it is easier than Did you drive or fly? ? Flying has become a real drag too.
Sheila ,I actually think I would pack less now that I’m older . I think I would pack less shoes , clothes and other items . I would listen to a RUclips fan for noise, I don’t need the air blowing , but I would have to pack vitamins.
Thanks for sharing your list that I may need in the future . Hehe ! You never know ! ❤❤❤❤
i got a knee pillow love it i feel the same ay i have tu have my air
Hi Debby, I was amazed as how many people in the comment section said they needed air blowing in their face! I wonder if it an age thing? Love, Sheila
God, the very most important.
Every time I see your hair I want that color definitely I’m gonna look for it because this silver is not working for me. It looks like I didn’t do anything to my hair. I hope I find the right color you look adorable I love love your hair color.
🤣I can totally relate. We just got home from visiting our kids and I need to take a lot of stuff. We travel in a small RV and it is mostly filled with everything I MUST have. Heat and coffee is right up there at the top of my list.
Your needs are funny to me but also very familiar. I'm seriously thinking a household assistant is in our future -- one that travels with us. Remember the old TV show "Hazel?" It was in the Black and White era as I recall -- or maybe we were just too poor to have a color TV. Yeah, where do we find a "Hazel" in 2024?
I need my pets and so I don't spend the night anywhere. I could care less about traveling.
Portable carac raised toilet seats for low hotel toilets
@@Connie-ts1dv Thank you so much for your comment!
I am 82 Nov 6, and thank God I don’t need a lot of the things you are talking about except all the essentials like toothbrush and my hair items. We are planning long trip to visit our daughter over Christmas for a week and I do dread flying and airports, not what it used to be but my health allows me to still get around on my own two feet and as long as it stays this way I will continue……
Don't make me laugh about the toilet I went to a hotel in Niagra Falls Canada and I had to use the big toilets downstairs in the handicap rest room ha!ha! I fully agree with you I am 72 years old and I love watching your videos
😂
I must have my portable heater, electric blanket, etc. I will be going back to the sleep specialist for a possibility of needing a breathing device. We look good, though!
Wow. This is first time I’ve seen one of your video….a little high maintenance??? I love having all my comfy stuff too, but do you really need all that stuff for on nite?? You are very beautiful for an older woman but you sound like a little spoiled princess!!! Live!! Climb over that tub and don’t fall!!! Just be very careful!! You’re so petite. You can do it!! 🤣🤣 if you can’t then maybe you should start some strength training. I”m 69. Also petite w osteo. I take strength training classes and it’s helped a lot. Ahhh just heard you use that word. Spoiled! lol You are Not old! You are gorgeous and look great. Enough said. Prayers for your husband. 💕
I just stay home
@@lisamason8965 Hi Lisa, we are very much homebodies and very rarely take a trip away from home. We are very close relationships to our grandchildren so when our oldest one wanted us to come and visit, there is no way I would ever pass that up. Love, Sheila.
How does your husband feel about it??? I have to have my book with me. And of course my make-up.....nice seing you.............MINDY
@@kindred1113 hi Mindy, thank you so much for your comment. Dave just laughs at me and is willing to take whatever I feel I need to take. He has to take all of his diabetic supplies, blood pressure monitor, all his medications for his cancer and his CPAP machine. He sleeps with a wedge pillow for elevation, but he did not bring it on this trip since it was just for one night. We just torment each other and laugh our way through it. Thank you for sharing what you have to have with you, which is very minimal compared to all my stuff. Love, Sheila.
Did you rent a U-Haul to carry everything?
@@kimberlybush2219 Hi Kimberly, I haven’t yet, but if I get in a position where I have to have a wheelchair, walker, etc. I will either have to stay home or rent that U-Haul!
You should stay at Home.
@@gabriele590 Hi Gabriel, thank you so much for your comment. I usually do stay home as I am such a homebody, but I will never pass up an opportunity to go visit my grown grandchildren.
Are you married
@@Philipbuono77 I sure am, a total of 54 and a half years, 12 years to my first husband and 42 and a half years to my beloved.
