It's so refreshing to see someone who "owns" being single....no embarassment or apologies or void in their explanation. Ours society teaches us you need to be coupled to be fulfilled.
I don't understand this mentally. It's 2022 not 1950 it's pathetic that single and embarrassment are in the same sentence. Feminism is not a dirty word it means equality. Sadly some women must live a very sheltered existence.
I agree. I am 50 and have been single for most of my life. I am at peace with my life. I don't feel incomplete, miserable or lonely as society says a woman must be if she is alone.
I’m 63, almost 64, and have been single for over 20 years and I agree with all your comments on being single. I’ve learned over the years if you’re not happy being with yourself you definitely won’t be happy with someone, I LOVE being single and doing my own thing, I love being able to travel on my own. While my kids would love for me to be in a relationship they definitely don’t push that on me. For now I’m happy happy happy. Good for you and all the single ladies who I’ve read comments on here!
Very uplifting comments Susan. I'm 69 and have been 'alone' since 2002. Sometimes, I wonder if I am missing out on companionship with someone special especially when I see other couples. But mostly, I feel like you and love my independence and freedom. I have just retired and it is taking some adjustment. But I have a small group of close girlfriends worth their weight in gold and more time now for my garden and art x.
I'm 58 and divorced since 2009 and was in a 7 year relationship that ended 4 years ago. I love being single. I can take long vacations, go out to eat, or stay in my PJ'S all day and never worry about someone else's approval. I've given myself permission to be selfish and focus on me. My married friends want me in a relationship, they don't understand why I don't want to date!! FREEDOM!!
I totally agree, but I miss the hugs, kisses, and nookie! The best is a relationship, but never getting married or living together. That way you get the best of both worlds !
I'm in the process of achieving my new found freedom! Divorce! Shedding 32 years of marriage has been beyond hard. I had lots of tears, fears, grief and heart ache. Now it is all about me. I'm soooo excited for my future! This girl is flying and flying high!
Bad relationship for 32 years. I stayed for the kids, stayed because my parents wanted me too and stayed because I could not financially make it on my own. I hope to learn how to be more secure and independent from you ladies
I’ve been single for six years after being in relationships since I was 18. I like the peace of living alone and not having to worry about all things while I’m a relationship. If I do end up dating, it would be casual.
Yes Nancy! I am a typical Southern woman and I was groomed to be an educated wife. I had a beau, then husband since college and was married until age 32. I was single for 19 years before I met my hubby. I am fiercely independent and he respects that. Finding someone who wants you for you and not what they want is difficult. It is terrific but I highly encourage women to be independent and enjoy being you without needing another person. It is a wonderful growth experience!
I am your polar opposite. Married 35 years, very entangled I do all the stuff to maintain the relationship that might drive you nuts, but he does the same for me and we love each other more now than 35 years ago. The best thing about this aging thing is that you know yourself and you don't kid yourself and you don't waste time. I get such a charge out of following you because we are so different! Good luck in your newest journey!
I agree with your comment, I’m opposite too. I re married 22 yrs ago and things like you said would drive a single person mad but in between my 1st & 2nd marriage I was on my own raising my kids for10 yrs and since re marrying, Ive learnt to adapt to being part of a couple (which I never thought I would as I was, and still am quite independent)but we are both still our own people with own friends and interests and have a lot of dreams and goals in common. It’s not always easy and it can be hard work at times but Iwouldnt change a thing now. Like you said, at this age (61) you know yourself. ☺️🇬🇧
I HATE being single.MY friends are starting to celebrate 25+ year anniversaries. It’s what I wanted and will now NEVER have. I grieve for it. I’m Jealous of it… I took my vows SERIOUSLY! But it takes 2 to make a marriage WORK! People say all kinds of crap about being with someone… (because most people won’t give it what it takes and like to point their finger at the other person. When it’s really the three fingers pointing back!) I just think, marriage is WONDERFUL AND TERRIBLE! You just have to find the one you will NEVER give up on.
I’ve been happily divorced for almost 16 years, and have no interest in having a relationship, for exactly the reasons you described. My kids are grown, I’m semi-retired, and am doing whatever I feel like doing. Period!
I’m 52, married twice. I can say without a doubt if this current marriage ends for any reason I would never ever be in another relationship. At this age I can’t even fathom investing in a new relationship. I suppose it’s because I would want to focus solely on myself. Relationships are hard and as I approach the other side of life I would just focus on all the things I would want to see and do. I’m also one of those people whose absolutely ok with being by myself. I can go to movies, lunch and shopping all on my own and have a great time! 😂
I feel the same as you. Married twice, 58 years old, I love my husband but if something happened I wouldn't want to get married or be in a serious relationship again.
I agree 100%! My first marriage ended after 7 years. I've been married for 20 years to my second husband. I love him and the life we've made but if something happens I'm not doing this again. Sometimes I feel like the life is being sucked out of me by all the demands a relationship has. I dream of sitting on the beach by myself and just being still and quiet.
I'm with you on this one. I am in a long term relationship (We've been together for 12 years) but if something were to happen with him, I'm done. The relationship is fine, but I just don't have the energy or inclination to start again with someone. I am perfectly happy alone and my current relationship works because we give each other breathing space even though we live together. I need a lot of solitude so he has activities that don't include me and it gives me time alone that I really , really need. We both had really BAD first marriages so neither of us are interested in marriage at this point (we're both in our 60s). If this relationship ends for whatever reason...I'm getting a dog and will be very happy on my own.
I was also married & divorced twice. 4 years and 39 years. I am 65, no third times a charm for me. I come first. I don't mind being alone. I am not lonely, I actually think I may be truely happy for the first time.
I’ve been divorced for about 2 years after being married over 25 years. I love living alone and traveling alone. I’m not lonely. So many people confuse alone with lonely. I will not get in another relationship. This life is too good. I support myself and don’t rely on anyone else. I love my grown children and get to visit them often. Thanks for these vlogs. I love living in the southeast too.
I’m so glad to hear someone else saying they’re happy single. I was married for almost 25 years and I’ve been single for 25 years, I’ve been enjoying and loving every single moment, day, time, you name it of my life as a single person. People cannot believe I can be this happy, but I am. I love going out with friends, going on trips with friends or one or some of my children, I do whatever I want whenever I want to and maybe I am to independent, self-sufficient, but I love it. I’m glad there are other women out there that feel the same way. Stay healthy and be blessed!
I totally agree with your thoughts on being single. I am 68, widowed for 13 years and am perfectly happy being alone. I find that relationships are just too much work. I like being able to go and do what I want when I want. I so enjoy your videos.
I've been single 90% of the time since 2004. I'm so used to it now. I've met nothing but liars and cheats so I stay away from relationships. Love your channel!! We can be pretty and happy no matter what anyone thinks!
Im so glad I found you! Your attitude is something I need to emulate. Im 53 and just realized its okay to be single even for the rest of my life!! You help me see that the coming years can be fulfilling! Thank you!!
Being in a relationship just gives me chronic Anxiety. Men really play games when they know you like them and these are men in their 50s. I'm 61 now and don't fancy men my age as most of them have let them selves go. I do miss the companionship and some one having your back.
My 2 sisters were divorced, one for 20 years and then she met in a store, a guy she dated before she got married and his wife had passed away a few years earlier. They have "dated" for 2 years but she likes her one bedroom condo and he likes his home and they both have routines they enjoy alone and together. She likes not cooking or thinking of what to do with him 24 hours a day so they have a nice balance. My other sister met a widower and did remarry. She always liked being married and that works well for her. You need to know yourself.
I’m 63 and have been single for over 30 years. I used to wish for a relationship but haven’t for many years now. I’m actually very content being single. I am the opposite of you though in that I am introverted and love being home and would never want to move every couple of years. Good video!
I'm loving your vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I'm 59 and my husband has Stage IV Metastatic Prostate Cancer. His prognosis is 2-4 years which is very sad; he is 62. My mind does take me to what my life will look like in a few years and I have to say, I won't marry again. I'm looking forward to just being on my own and finding my true self. Thank you for your inspiration and frankness. Kimberly, you are such a joy and I adore your content!
I have to say I have been very happily married for over 20 years, and plan to stay that way. HOWEVER - if by some unforeseen circumstance I ended up single I think I would have absolutely no interest in seeking out another relationship. I have many dear friends ( and pets) and that would be enough I think!
Married a total of 21 years (2 marriages) and single now 13 years. Like you, I have NEVER experienced loneliness. I love the freedom being single affords. I am still working at 60 and will have to continue for many years. I would love to travel as you do...perhaps one day. I enjoy your videos being a skin care junky and a makeup maven for 50 years. Thank you for sharing you.
I am a Reiki GrMaster- it is so wonderful to see how much you love Reiki. It is energy work that is not woo hoo. It really is a healing that most people neglect. What a beautiful Reiki room!!
This is what I love YOU DO NOT NEED ANYONE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY!! AMEN SISTER! FINALLY A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN. As I get older (55 just turned) my level of tolerance for someone else and their problems. I just can't. I dont have it in me to give anymore. Love that you are strong.
Single, at 60, for ten years… I love all the positive comments on being single. I have always felt great and if someone wants to join me, I would love it. Truly enjoying so much life has to offer!!! Sounds like a. Beautiful location!!!
I’m ready to be alone after 47 years. I’m tired of the pettiness, too. I played a lot, alone, when I was little. That experience came in handy with the pandemic and I trust I can enjoy people when I choose, for the 20-30 years I have left. I, too, make friends when I travel alone. When you simply love people: that happens. This vlog SO speakers to me, this morning. ❤️
I'm 54 and feel the exact same way about relationships. I've never been happier than I have been being older and single. So many of us tend to live small lives, but people like us want to live bigger and free. IE. living in another country, taking a month off to travel, etc. It's frustrating at times, but I know, regardless, I'll be happy. It's outsiders that have a harder time understanding it. Even at this time in life, people always want me to date and marry. And this coming from all my friends who are on their second marriage. LOL!
I've been single for 2 years almost and I find that I'm enjoying finding out who I really am. I also enjoy just being responsible for myself. No one to account for is very freeing! Finding out I really enjoy my own company. Love that you're so open about your life and views. Thank you
So nice to know other ladies do not feel the need to be in a relationship! I even get tired of people telling me, "oh, the right person will come along and all that will change". 🙄🙄 Really?? LOL I'm 61, married twice, raised 3 children to adulthood, I am just fine being single! Leave me be 😊😊
I am happily married for 35 years and absolutely believe someone can be happy alone. As long as you are happy with your life and are true to yourself that is enough. Period.
OMG! Thank you! I feel the absolute same way! I'm 51 divorced for 9 yrs now and I haven't had a serious relationship since. And I don't miss it! I love being single, I only get bored from time to time, but not lonely. I also love your makeup videos!
I LOVE these vlogs Kimberly. I still think you look fabulous. I'm too lazy to stick with devices. Lol The birds sound so pretty when you're sitting outside. Also maybe try adding pink Himalayan salt to your water, coffee, food etc?? That's what my Dr had me do when I was getting a lot of vertigo. It seemed to help. I'm all about no meds as well. Enjoy the rest of your trip. 💜
There is no one I'd rather spend time with than you . This was such a lovely time, the birds, your new place, the Zen Den.....You inspire and encourage me so much, Kimberley. Thank you.
I am with you also on relationships as well. I am 62 and separated going on two years now. I am not a bit interested in dating, much less beIng in a relationship. I feel I am too old for starting over and my self esteem is so low. I love watching your videos. You seem to be very confident in yourself and very genuine. You are a beautiful lady inside and out. I want that! As far as living in SC, I think you will love it. I live in NC but my roots and my heart are in SC.
Thank you for that honest dialog….I am recently widowed after 38 years of marriage, I’m very independent but have no idea what joy looks like at this point because all my future plans that I was really looking forward to, involved the two of us….It’s hard to wrap my mind around finding a happy future thought doing things by myself….all our closest buddies (tight group since college) are still couples…and although they would be more than gracious and include me in travel plans, I feel like I’d be the fifth wheel….so I appreciate all you said about traveling by yourself….I will save this and re-listen several times!
I too have been widowed for the past 6 years and truly understand your comment. One of the most difficult things for me is still feeling like the “fifth wheel” in many social situations. I do travel alone. I started taking Rick Steves Europe tours and each time the group in the tour has welcomed me with open arms. I have made some great like-minded travel buddies on these trips. I have dated one man for the past couple of years but I found I had to compromise too much to meet his needs. No thanks!
I feel like nobody will be a good enough match with me for me to feel like it's worth the trouble of being entangled. I'm less willing to compromise these days, plus I'm trying to figure out if I can only attract the most selfish men or are all men mostly selfish by nature. I have asked myself this for many years. Your skin looks fabulous and thank you for all of the sharing. I can very much relate!
At 71, I've been single for twenty years. Married for 20+ yrs to my beloved late husband; met someone special six years later. We were in the relationship for 3.5 years, became engaged, planned to marry..but, things went south. Since then, I've not met anyone, certainly not one who could even come close to how I felt about him. He's passed now, sadly, and I'm single, still. I miss having a partner, but, pickings are REALLY slim out there for quality men. Seems like they're all after 20 year-old Kardashian clones. I'm a quality woman, and, I wouldn't settle, just so I'm not alone. I had two great loves in my life; that's it for me. I just want peace now. The stigma of being single really needs to stop. TFS, Kim. Rosemarie 💖
When you move across the country for someone else (who isn't who he says he is) and you realize you are done with people pleasing and ready to actually LIVE your life instead of always trying to integrate yours with someone else that isn't on the same page it is eye-opening!
Welcome to South Carolina! I’m loving your channel! You taught me how to use bronzer 😃🥰 I’m 51, never been married but I love my singledom. I just love being able to do what I want without having to consult anyone else. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been and happier than I’ve ever been. I like being able to focus on bettering myself without the distraction of a committed relationship. I also love to travel and I go to food and wine festivals a few times a year, and I meet so many people. It’s so fulfilling meeting people of different backgrounds. I hope you enjoy the remainder of your trip.
I always appreciate you talking about traveling alone. It has given me freedom to go places I want to visit when my family does not. Thanks for boosting my confidence in traveling solo.
I’m 50 and single. I also have been divorced for around 15 years and have had a few little relationships since. Here’s my deal… the thought of being in a relationship and having the eventual little struggles does not appeal to me at all…. The thought of having someone else to help financially is what I daydream about lol. On holidays when I see the couples in my family, that’s when I really would love having someone. I’m just not sure if I would make a very good partner at this stage in life. The one thing that I do wish for is just financial stability or just someone to help with that burden. I’d also love someone to buy me a new car😂😂😂ugh
Oh, I hear ya. Everyone is a "couple" and financially doing this life alone is tough. But being in a relationship you have to take all the bad with just a little good. Not worth it. Financially strapped but sane is fine with me.
So with you! The cuddling I miss... and the dual income. But having to deal with another person on a daily basis (other than my child) is just not appealing... I want to live my life w/out obligation or expectation from someone else in my space. I'm a clean freak - love having my home not wrecked by a slob - haha...
I am 57 have not been in a relationship for about 15 years probably more got married at 20 i have no desire to be in a relationship i love living alone peaceful when i see people married people and they are complaining about their spouse i blurt out loud i am sorry i am so glad i am not in a relationship my time i treasure is with my grandchildren 2 and 2 months but living in northern ca 1 income its a struggle a huge struggle financially i keep hanging on i cant imagine at this point moving elsewhere my grandchildren are my world, but i think often of moving somewhere less expensive and traveling to a few countries one day ..
@@kcloveonaleash I'm in SW Florida. The rents are CRAZY here, but to move in a liar or a cheat to help pay rent, I'd rather eat ramen soup forever to survive than do that!
I'm 58 and have been single for about 17 years. I love it and would never consider getting remarried again. I've had a few relationships but after about 2 years I'm so bored and don't want to put any effort into it. I love not having to answer to anyone and being my own person. I totally get your angle!
I get you! ❤After divorce & long term relationship & my partner was with my friend & it ended next guy tried to rip me off! Im very happy doing me ! It’s all a taboo that we were brought up with,,, couples thing ! Women today are amazingly strong ! Own houses cars & brilliant jobs & realise their worth
I am 59. I was married for 20 years and I’ve been divorced 14 years. My kids were 12 and 6. I never had another long term relationship afterwards. I lost my son 2 years ago. He was 18. Then I got breast cancer. So it’s been a bit rough. I have lived in Austin Tx all my life. I want to do exactly what you are doing. Explore other places. You are so kind and welcoming in your videos. You give me inspiration. I can’t wait for the next vlog! Thank you!
@@SJL07 Thank you. I agree. I mentioned it because it is one of the similar things we share. I admire how Kimberly is able to move forward and find enjoyable moments in her life. I’m still working on that. Thank you for your comment. 💗
I've had several episodes of benign positional vertigo, to the point where I've fallen to the floor. It's a terrible feeling and I don't ever want to experience it again. It's been about two years that I haven't had one. Well, greetings from El Salvador!
I’m 48 and been divorced since 2004 and haven’t been in a relationship since. I stay busy and fulfilled with my career and my 21 yr old daughter… I feel at this age we are more interesting but not willing to compromise. Sounds like you’re living your best life 👏👏
I’m 65, newly divorced and love traveling alone. I’m not lonely at all! If you stay open to the universe and carry positivity, which you do, you attract many new acquaintances and some who become friends. There are wonderful people out there who come across your path. I truly believe we are lead to certain places and meet certain people for a reason. When I am grateful for things, people and places, God opens doors I never knew possible. Being responsible for my own self-care and love, living outside myself and helping others brings me a wholeness I never knew existed. God bless you and your new adventure Kimberley 🥰💕
Just love how you see all the bad stuff happening to your face - but you never quit smiling- chirping birds are always nice background music. Looking forward to your next vlog
I feel the same. I am so set in my ways now that I also don't want to get into arguments or try to convince someone to do what I want to do. I am 52, and have been in several relationships, but things haven't worked out. I have always been an introvert and I love to spend time with myself doing what I want when I want, answering to no one.
I envy your being brave snd just picking up and going! I’m 61 and married, 40 years this October. The older I get the mire I don’t want to spend time with people who just really aren’t nice and who could care less how they treat people. I’m so tired of “mean girls “. My husband gets frustrated when I don’t want to go and be around these people!
**NEW SUBSCRIBER** Your channel just popped up in my feed and I am so happy!!! You are such a lovely soul! It’s a great day when you make a new friend. 🙏🏽
Just absolutely have been loving your videos from SC, especially this one! Your skin always looks great to me, but your spirit has really shined through recently. I too have experienced vertigo and it is no fun. But, I will say, that when I am very careful with my diet (no gluten) I can seemingly avoid it. I don’t think I’ve had an episode in at least 2 years. Can’t wait for your next video!
I enjoy your sweet down to earth content! Hope the big move goes well. BTW, I think your still pretty even when your "fluffy" no apologies needed! That's how life goes☺️
I discovered this today, from Middle Aged Minx. What a great description of being single, it's me to T. It's easier being on your own if you are adventurous, independent and interested in life. Been married, divorced, tried another relationship. Now happy and content just doing "me".
I am 68 and have been truly single for over 20 years and I'm not lonely because I actually like my own company. Lol! I am a social person though. Like you Kimberly, I don't have the time and energy to develop and maintain a relationship. I haven't many friends who are men and I enjoy their company as well as my female friends. If a man came into my life and he was a great fit for me, I would definitely embrace that. Have fun in SC!
I love, love, love watching your videos...and even more as time goes on...I am 74 & pretty much housebound due to mobility issues so it's so much fun for me to spend time with you...Don feel sorry for me though...I've had a fabulous life, living 28 years overseas in 7 countries (as a private citizen, not with the military) & traveling to many wonderful & exotic places... After about 6 years of severe health problems you were the person who got me back on track with skincare, makeup & wellness...so thank you you so much...I plan on many great years ahead!!! I love to see you on your adventures!
I have believed since my late 20s that marriage, committed relationships are good for the man not a woman. I am single and appreciate myself and life so much, now that I’m not married or have a boyfriend. Love your skin care and make up tips. I love the birds talking and singing as well. Just hearing then makes me happy. So much to look forward too when we share stories and listen to each other. So thank you much for sharing. I can’t wait for your next video. 🐦🐌🦋
You know what, I admire you so much!! I honestly do. I feel the exact same way about life. You seem like such a content very happy woman. You are doing thing you want and that make you happy. I love it. I hope some day I get the chance to sit and coffee with you and chat. I hope you have a fantastic beautiful day!!! Enjoy!
Kimberly, you are so gosh darn adorable! This was a fun video! I love your candid, calm openness about you and your life! I, too, am single...wait...HAPPILY single after 36 years of marriage. I have no desire to have any kind of a relationship . This is the happiest I have EVER been, enjoying life and my family, and my God. I didn't know single life could be so good. Looking forward to your next video and your "news"!!! Take care!!
I just love your honesty. I agree you can be 100%happy without being in a relationship. I am in a relationship now but I was happy and single for a long time. I think the point is is to be happy no matter where you're at in life. I really enjoyed your video today
Just love you. I’m 52. And I am in a relationship and it’s because he is so much like me. Pick up and go, stay in, go on adventures. I will say that if anything happens to him I will be fine single just for the reasons you mentioned. My Mom is 72 and she feels the same way. On a side note, I am wanting to come to Lake Tahoe in September and would like to hear your recommendations on where to stay and where to go for views and restaurants. *HUGSS!!!
I’ve been married for 35 years. I’m now a sole caregiver to my husband of Alzheimer’s. He is at the later stages and needs help with everything. We don’t have any children. He goes to a day care three times a week and I feel guilty saying that I love my time alone just me myself and I. I love my husband but the first time I took him to his day care and went for lunch by myself I cried. I felt such a relief.
I just went through this. Caretaker for 7 yrs of my husband. I am now a widow. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm reclusive because I've had to be. I know it will get better but I feel I've lost my purpose. You stay strong, try to take care of yourself😢
I’ve read many of the comments and agree with your comments as well. I am 77 and was married for 53 years. My husband died three years ago suddenly of a massive heart attack. We had a good marriage, and I miss Alan every day, but I don’t think I will ever find anyone I could love as much or want to be in a lasting relationship. It is lonely sometimes, but I do have several female friends to go to movies and dinners with so I am adjusting.
Omg im just watching this now as I lay in bed with a bout of vertigo that has me knocked down. On Serc and went to the chiropractor yesterday for treatment. Having a meltdown because I cant work and drive right now. What are the odds??? Vertigo is no joke. Sending healing healthy vibes to Kimberly and anyone else who suffers from it. No fun. Love relaxing and enjoying the videos though. I could listen to Kimberly all day! 😄
I’ve just found your channel and I love it - love you - love listening to you. I am about your age - I think you said over 60 - and I so relate to everything you say about being single. I wouldn’t change it for anything, or should I say anyone. It would turn my life upside down … and I’d lose my precious freedom and independence and worse, I would have to compromise! Oh and be accountable to someone else. Been single for about 15 years with one disastrous 6 month period and I love waking up every morning to just my cat and peace and quiet and a day ahead I can chose what I do and when and where. It’s The Best. I must try reiki. Sounds wonderful.
Kimberly, your skin looks amazing, so dewy and so even and so improved from 2 years ago, and just plain, WOW. All you are doing is working, especially when you smile. Also, I enjoy watching your natural curiosity, creativity, and free spirit, and agree with your concerns regarding wildfires, but what can you do? They happen anywhere, but, especially in the West. There is always something. I say, wherever you are, simply, enjoy life, and be grateful, and thank you for answering my Beauty Pie question. Safe travels, and go find YOUR soil. 😘
Oh my, I have had those vertigo attacks too! Sometimes I have had them so bad that I have thrown up, and even while laying in the bed the room spins. It is horrible. I have motion sickness meds and I also do the head manipulations for the ear crystals.
This has been the most relaxing video of yours yet. I loved every second. I am originally from the Tahoe area and although beautiful, there are so many risks involved in living there. The south however, holds my heart. Slow paced, green and relaxing. I envy the lifestyle you have a bit. I have been military and married to military most of my adult life and have moved so many times. I miss the "nomadic" life. I loved being in a place for a little while and looking forward to what was next. Enjoy every second of it
You're not alone with the vertigo cases. You described what I go through every year or so. I have been experiencing vertigo for at least 15 years. I tell my friends it's like being drunk and you missed the party!! Walking into walls is not fun at 71yrs !! Enjoy your trip and be careful when you're out walking alone.
love your makeup choices. I too love that Dior Forever. Your makeup looks so good. I'm impressed with your walking and you've inspired me to get up and get up. Bravo to you for you independence. I on the other hand will be celebrating our 62nd. Wedding anniversary!
Hey Kimberly, I just turned 60 and when I think about dating it gives me a stomach ache, lol. I am good with being alone, have a lot of friends and activities I enjoy. As for vertigo... it could be a virus...and D and Zinc are antiviral. I love your videos!
I know what you mean about independence in a relationship. I know that I can do without all those strings attached. Why explain yourself to anyone, when you can simply be free to live life exactly how you want without any hassles? At this stage in life, those situations can create lots of unnecessary stress 😩.
Was married 31 years. Tomorrow is 15 years that I've been divorced! I have so much peace now. Very grateful for my single life & would never trade it away 💖
Loved this vlog of your time in AIKEN and all you shared ! You are such a gem and so relatable! All the best in finding that perfect place to call home..☺️
Kim its wonderful going with you on your journey. I too have vertigo occasionally and it does kick the butt. I'm only out of commission for a day or two but I have learned a trick with the pillow at the end of the bed turning the head from side to side waiting for the dizziness to stop in each ear before turning head. I envy you for traveling alone. I just buried my husband; we were inseparable doing mostly everything together. I'm not comfortable going into a restaurant alone or vacationing along. Maybe that will come. I love your channel so full of info. Be safe on your travels.
Regarding being single... I couldn't agree with you more! I've been single for the past 22 years and haven't had the desire to be in a romantic relationship at all. Busy living my own very full life, Now, however, I'm beginning to seriously consider it. Hummmmm. xoxo
This may be my favorite vlog of yours and I watch them all! Married since age 19 so I have no idea of what living alone is like. I'm so happy you love the south. I live in western NC and think it's heaven on earth. Love SC too. Will be going to Greenville next week.
I’m 58 and I’ve been single for years and u remind me so much of myself, I just do better not in a relationship. I don’t really think about it and guys will approach me and I never follow thru , I’m just so busy and I don’t want the distraction.. I’ve always said im not good relationship material ..not at this time anyways ..im enjoying “me” time .. im from North Carolina and I miss the Carolina’s so much .. I now live in central Florida and people think it’s so cool to live here , it’s ok but it’s perpetually hot and I miss the seasons so much , the leaves changing etc that I know eventually I will move back .. I’m so enjoying your vlogs and that Dior foundation looks so perfect on u !! Happy Sunday Kimberly !!!
I live in Florida too. Summers are brutal here, not enjoyable at all! When I retire in a year or so, I plan on heading to NC or Tn to find a milder climate.
Kimberly it's always a pleasure to watch you, I love your honesty and of course your makeup reviews for the drugstore products are just awesome. I don't blame you for enjoying being single, freedom is such a wonderful thing. I was single for 14 years but I have remarried and actually happy in my current marriage but I remember being happy as a single person as well so enjoy
I have been single for a long time also, and I love it. I was married but have been alone now for a long time. I am retired and avoid relationships because they are too time consuming. Was married, raised children, worked and now I do what I want to do. I am blessed with lovely children and grandchildren. I am forever busy. I do not want someone to ask me what is for dinner or be forever in a give and take on decisions or drama. I am really not bitter or angry, I just love being alone. God bless all the wonderful men and marriages that my friends are in. Not for me…
It's so refreshing to see someone who "owns" being single....no embarassment or apologies or void in their explanation. Ours society teaches us you need to be coupled to be fulfilled.
Ugh isn't it disgraceful !!!! I refuse to be made invisible or less by the fact that I'm single
I don't understand this mentally. It's 2022 not 1950 it's pathetic that single and embarrassment are in the same sentence. Feminism is not a dirty word it means equality. Sadly some women must live a very sheltered existence.
I agree. I am 50 and have been single for most of my life. I am at peace with my life. I don't feel incomplete, miserable or lonely as society says a woman must be if she is alone.
@@gigilamoore2656 I feel the same way
Glad you are relaxing!
I love listening to your sweet voice, you are so precious inside and out... and I LOVE LIVING in South Carolina!❤️
I’m 63, almost 64, and have been single for over 20 years and I agree with all your comments on being single. I’ve learned over the years if you’re not happy being with yourself you definitely won’t be happy with someone, I LOVE being single and doing my own thing, I love being able to travel on my own. While my kids would love for me to be in a relationship they definitely don’t push that on me. For now I’m happy happy happy. Good for you and all the single ladies who I’ve read comments on here!
Hi there. I had a friend with your name when I was a little girl. Could it be you? Lol You have a sister named Heather and brother Tim?
@@TMG56 no, not me!
Very uplifting comments Susan. I'm 69 and have been 'alone' since 2002. Sometimes, I wonder if I am missing out on companionship with someone special especially when I see other couples. But mostly, I feel like you and love my independence and freedom. I have just retired and it is taking some adjustment. But I have a small group of close girlfriends worth their weight in gold and more time now for my garden and art x.
Good for you!
Agree, only child here (62) bout 10yo told myself if Im not liking myself Im not gonna be too happy.
I'm 58 and divorced since 2009 and was in a 7 year relationship that ended 4 years ago. I love being single. I can take long vacations, go out to eat, or stay in my PJ'S all day and never worry about someone else's approval. I've given myself permission to be selfish and focus on me. My married friends want me in a relationship, they don't understand why I don't want to date!! FREEDOM!!
Yeeees 👏 58 here, I’ve been single since 2013 and totally agree with everything you said 👍❤️
Also 58, been single since 2008. Dated a few times but nothing serious. Agree with everything you said. I really just love the freedom.
I totally agree, but I miss the hugs, kisses, and nookie! The best is a relationship, but never getting married or living together. That way you get the best of both worlds !
I once knew a older woman that I asked if she would like to remarry and she’d said “ I don’t want to be a nurse or a purse” what a hoot.
I’ve been saying the same thing in a negative way. This is my new answer! I LOVE IT! ❤😂
I love being single. After my last relationship, I saw a quote that said, "it takes a helluva man to replace no man at all." Couldn't agree more!
Ha!
That’s a good one 👍!
I'm in the process of achieving my new found freedom! Divorce! Shedding 32 years of marriage has been beyond hard. I had lots of tears, fears, grief and heart ache. Now it is all about me. I'm soooo excited for my future! This girl is flying and flying high!
Bad relationship for 32 years. I stayed for the kids, stayed because my parents wanted me too and stayed because I could not financially make it on my own. I hope to learn how to be more secure and independent from you ladies
I’ve been single for six years after being in relationships since I was 18. I like the peace of living alone and not having to worry about all things while I’m a relationship. If I do end up dating, it would be casual.
Yes Nancy! I am a typical Southern woman and I was groomed to be an educated wife. I had a beau, then husband since college and was married until age 32. I was single for 19 years before I met my hubby. I am fiercely independent and he respects that. Finding someone who wants you for you and not what they want is difficult. It is terrific but I highly encourage women to be independent and enjoy being you without needing another person. It is a wonderful growth experience!
Same here,single for 6 yrs,love my time alone.
I am your polar opposite. Married 35 years, very entangled I do all the stuff to maintain the relationship that might drive you nuts, but he does the same for me and we love each other more now than 35 years ago. The best thing about this aging thing is that you know yourself and you don't kid yourself and you don't waste time. I get such a charge out of following you because we are so different!
Good luck in your newest journey!
I agree with your comment, I’m opposite too. I re married 22 yrs ago and things like you said would drive a single person mad but in between my 1st & 2nd marriage I was on my own raising my kids for10 yrs and since re marrying, Ive learnt to adapt to being part of a couple (which I never thought I would as I was, and still am quite independent)but we are both still our own people with own friends and interests and have a lot of dreams and goals in common. It’s not always easy and it can be hard work at times but Iwouldnt change a thing now. Like you said, at this age (61) you know yourself. ☺️🇬🇧
I HATE being single.MY friends are starting to celebrate 25+ year anniversaries. It’s what I wanted and will now NEVER have. I grieve for it. I’m Jealous of it… I took my vows SERIOUSLY! But it takes 2 to make a marriage WORK! People say all kinds of crap about being with someone… (because most people won’t give it what it takes and like to point their finger at the other person. When it’s really the three fingers pointing back!) I just think, marriage is WONDERFUL AND TERRIBLE! You just have to find the one you will NEVER give up on.
@@janettehunt6831 I did t say this I don't know where it came from
❣🌟❣
Carol, we have very similar lives. We'll celebrate our 40th Anniversary in August. You summed my thoughts perfectly!
I’ve been happily divorced for almost 16 years, and have no interest in having a relationship, for exactly the reasons you described. My kids are grown, I’m semi-retired, and am doing whatever I feel like doing. Period!
I’m 52, married twice. I can say without a doubt if this current marriage ends for any reason I would never ever be in another relationship. At this age I can’t even fathom investing in a new relationship. I suppose it’s because I would want to focus solely on myself. Relationships are hard and as I approach the other side of life I would just focus on all the things I would want to see and do. I’m also one of those people whose absolutely ok with being by myself. I can go to movies, lunch and shopping all on my own and have a great time! 😂
I feel the same as you. Married twice, 58 years old, I love my husband but if something happened I wouldn't want to get married or be in a serious relationship again.
I agree 100%! My first marriage ended after 7 years. I've been married for 20 years to my second husband. I love him and the life we've made but if something happens I'm not doing this again. Sometimes I feel like the life is being sucked out of me by all the demands a relationship has. I dream of sitting on the beach by myself and just being still and quiet.
I'm with you on this one. I am in a long term relationship (We've been together for 12 years) but if something were to happen with him, I'm done. The relationship is fine, but I just don't have the energy or inclination to start again with someone. I am perfectly happy alone and my current relationship works because we give each other breathing space even though we live together. I need a lot of solitude so he has activities that don't include me and it gives me time alone that I really , really need. We both had really BAD first marriages so neither of us are interested in marriage at this point (we're both in our 60s). If this relationship ends for whatever reason...I'm getting a dog and will be very happy on my own.
I was also married & divorced twice. 4 years and 39 years. I am 65, no third times a charm for me. I come first. I don't mind being alone. I am not lonely, I actually think I may be truely happy for the first time.
I’ve been divorced for about 2 years after being married over 25 years. I love living alone and traveling alone. I’m not lonely. So many people confuse alone with lonely. I will not get in another relationship. This life is too good. I support myself and don’t rely on anyone else. I love my grown children and get to visit them often. Thanks for these vlogs. I love living in the southeast too.
I’m so glad to hear someone else saying they’re happy single. I was married for almost 25 years and I’ve been single for 25 years, I’ve been enjoying and loving every single moment, day, time, you name it of my life as a single person. People cannot believe I can be this happy, but I am. I love going out with friends, going on trips with friends or one or some of my children, I do whatever I want whenever I want to and maybe I am to independent, self-sufficient, but I love it. I’m glad there are other women out there that feel the same way. Stay healthy and be blessed!
I totally agree with your thoughts on being single. I am 68, widowed for 13 years and am perfectly happy being alone. I find that relationships are just too much work. I like being able to go and do what I want when I want. I so enjoy your videos.
I've been single 90% of the time since 2004. I'm so used to it now. I've met nothing but liars and cheats so I stay away from relationships. Love your channel!! We can be pretty and happy no matter what anyone thinks!
Im so glad I found you! Your attitude is something I need to emulate. Im 53 and just realized its okay to be single even for the rest of my life!!
You help me see that the coming years can be fulfilling! Thank you!!
Being in a relationship just gives me chronic Anxiety. Men really play games when they know you like them and these are men in their 50s. I'm 61 now and don't fancy men my age as most of them have let them selves go. I do miss the companionship and some one having your back.
My 2 sisters were divorced, one for 20 years and then she met in a store, a guy she dated before she got married and his wife had passed away a few years earlier. They have "dated" for 2 years but she likes her one bedroom condo and he likes his home and they both have routines they enjoy alone and together. She likes not cooking or thinking of what to do with him 24 hours a day so they have a nice balance. My other sister met a widower and did remarry. She always liked being married and that works well for her. You need to know yourself.
I’m 63 and have been single for over 30 years. I used to wish for a relationship but haven’t for many years now. I’m actually very content being single. I am the opposite of you though in that I am introverted and love being home and would never want to move every couple of years. Good video!
I'm loving your vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I'm 59 and my husband has Stage IV Metastatic Prostate Cancer. His prognosis is 2-4 years which is very sad; he is 62. My mind does take me to what my life will look like in a few years and I have to say, I won't marry again. I'm looking forward to just being on my own and finding my true self. Thank you for your inspiration and frankness. Kimberly, you are such a joy and I adore your content!
I am very sorry to hear about your husband. I am inspired to see how strong we really are, and I wish you a happy life.
I have to say I have been very happily married for over 20 years, and plan to stay that way. HOWEVER - if by some unforeseen circumstance I ended up single I think I would have absolutely no interest in seeking out another relationship. I have many dear friends ( and pets) and that would be enough I think!
Married a total of 21 years (2 marriages) and single now 13 years. Like you, I have NEVER experienced loneliness. I love the freedom being single affords. I am still working at 60 and will have to continue for many years. I would love to travel as you do...perhaps one day. I enjoy your videos being a skin care junky and a makeup maven for 50 years. Thank you for sharing you.
I am a Reiki GrMaster- it is so wonderful to see how much you love Reiki. It is energy work that is not woo hoo. It really is a healing that most people neglect.
What a beautiful Reiki room!!
This is what I love YOU DO NOT NEED ANYONE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY!! AMEN SISTER! FINALLY A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN. As I get older (55 just turned) my level of tolerance for someone else and their problems. I just can't. I dont have it in me to give anymore. Love that you are strong.
Single, at 60, for ten years… I love all the positive comments on being single. I have always felt great and if someone wants to join me, I would love it. Truly enjoying so much life has to offer!!!
Sounds like a. Beautiful location!!!
I’m ready to be alone after 47 years. I’m tired of the pettiness, too. I played a lot, alone, when I was little. That experience came in handy with the pandemic and I trust I can enjoy people when I choose, for the 20-30 years I have left.
I, too, make friends when I travel alone. When you simply love people: that happens.
This vlog SO speakers to me, this morning. ❤️
I'm 54 and feel the exact same way about relationships. I've never been happier than I have been being older and single. So many of us tend to live small lives, but people like us want to live bigger and free. IE. living in another country, taking a month off to travel, etc. It's frustrating at times, but I know, regardless, I'll be happy. It's outsiders that have a harder time understanding it. Even at this time in life, people always want me to date and marry. And this coming from all my friends who are on their second marriage. LOL!
I've been single for 2 years almost and I find that I'm enjoying finding out who I really am. I also enjoy just being responsible for myself. No one to account for is very freeing! Finding out I really enjoy my own company. Love that you're so open about your life and views. Thank you
So nice to know other ladies do not feel the need to be in a relationship! I even get tired of people telling me, "oh, the right person will come along and all that will change". 🙄🙄 Really?? LOL I'm 61, married twice, raised 3 children to adulthood, I am just fine being single! Leave me be 😊😊
Amen Sister! 👏🏻
I always get annoyed at the undercurrent message of you aren’t enough on your own.
I am happily married for 35 years and absolutely believe someone can be happy alone. As long as you are happy with your life and are true to yourself that is enough. Period.
OMG! Thank you! I feel the absolute same way! I'm 51 divorced for 9 yrs now and I haven't had a serious relationship since. And I don't miss it! I love being single, I only get bored from time to time, but not lonely. I also love your makeup videos!
I LOVE these vlogs Kimberly. I still think you look fabulous. I'm too lazy to stick with devices. Lol The birds sound so pretty when you're sitting outside. Also maybe try adding pink Himalayan salt to your water, coffee, food etc?? That's what my Dr had me do when I was getting a lot of vertigo. It seemed to help. I'm all about no meds as well. Enjoy the rest of your trip. 💜
I'm on the Himalayan salt train - thank you for the tip my friend! XO
Do you do the salt all the time or just when you get Vertigo? I've had vertigo attacks a few times and boy no fun.
There is no one I'd rather spend time with than you . This was such a lovely time, the birds, your new place, the Zen Den.....You inspire and encourage me so much, Kimberley. Thank you.
I am with you also on relationships as well. I am 62 and separated going on two years now. I am not a bit interested in dating, much less beIng in a relationship. I feel I am too old for starting over and my self esteem is so low. I love watching your videos. You seem to be very confident in yourself and very genuine. You are a beautiful lady inside and out. I want that!
As far as living in SC, I think you will love it. I live in NC but my roots and my heart are in SC.
Thank you for that honest dialog….I am recently widowed after 38 years of marriage, I’m very independent but have no idea what joy looks like at this point because all my future plans that I was really looking forward to, involved the two of us….It’s hard to wrap my mind around finding a happy future thought doing things by myself….all our closest buddies (tight group since college) are still couples…and although they would be more than gracious and include me in travel plans, I feel like I’d be the fifth wheel….so I appreciate all you said about traveling by yourself….I will save this and re-listen several times!
My heart goes out to you, Trish ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through.
I too have been widowed for the past 6 years and truly understand your comment. One of the most difficult things for me is still feeling like the “fifth wheel” in many social situations. I do travel alone. I started taking Rick Steves Europe tours and each time the group in the tour has welcomed me with open arms. I have made some great like-minded travel buddies on these trips. I have dated one man for the past couple of years but I found I had to compromise too much to meet his needs. No thanks!
@@2CorgiMom thank you! I will look into the travel group….that’s a great suggestion.
@@SJL07 thank you! For kind of you!
Oh my I can't wait. I'm moving to a new property this month. Will be waiting and watching every episode.
The South agrees with you! You look radiant! You will have friends you haven’t met yet. ❤️❤️
I feel like nobody will be a good enough match with me for me to feel like it's worth the trouble of being entangled. I'm less willing to compromise these days, plus I'm trying to figure out if I can only attract the most selfish men or are all men mostly selfish by nature. I have asked myself this for many years. Your skin looks fabulous and thank you for all of the sharing. I can very much relate!
I totally can relate to your comment!
I'm 53 and I'm happy to have given up on finding anyone. I can totally resonate.. Good luck 💐x
At 71, I've been single for twenty years. Married for 20+ yrs to my beloved late husband; met someone special six years later. We were in the relationship for 3.5 years, became engaged, planned to marry..but, things went south. Since then, I've not met anyone, certainly not one who could even come close to how I felt about him. He's passed now, sadly, and I'm single, still. I miss having a partner, but, pickings are REALLY slim out there for quality men. Seems like they're all after 20 year-old Kardashian clones. I'm a quality woman, and, I wouldn't settle, just so I'm not alone. I had two great loves in my life; that's it for me. I just want peace now. The stigma of being single really needs to stop. TFS, Kim. Rosemarie 💖
When you move across the country for someone else (who isn't who he says he is) and you realize you are done with people pleasing and ready to actually LIVE your life instead of always trying to integrate yours with someone else that isn't on the same page it is eye-opening!
I love these vacation vlogs! I don't get to go on real vacations so I feel like being there with you virtually is so fun! Thanks for including us!
Welcome to South Carolina! I’m loving your channel! You taught me how to use bronzer 😃🥰
I’m 51, never been married but I love my singledom. I just love being able to do what I want without having to consult anyone else. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been and happier than I’ve ever been. I like being able to focus on bettering myself without the distraction of a committed relationship.
I also love to travel and I go to food and wine festivals a few times a year, and I meet so many people. It’s so fulfilling meeting people of different backgrounds.
I hope you enjoy the remainder of your trip.
Newly single and not interested in a relationship. Always loved my freedom
Thank you for taking all of us along with you in your journey 💕
I always appreciate you talking about traveling alone. It has given me freedom to go places I want to visit when my family does not. Thanks for boosting my confidence in traveling solo.
I’m 50 and single. I also have been divorced for around 15 years and have had a few little relationships since. Here’s my deal… the thought of being in a relationship and having the eventual little struggles does not appeal to me at all…. The thought of having someone else to help financially is what I daydream about lol. On holidays when I see the couples in my family, that’s when I really would love having someone.
I’m just not sure if I would make a very good partner at this stage in life.
The one thing that I do wish for is just financial stability or just someone to help with that burden. I’d also love someone to buy me a new car😂😂😂ugh
Oh, I hear ya. Everyone is a "couple" and financially doing this life alone is tough. But being in a relationship you have to take all the bad with just a little good. Not worth it. Financially strapped but sane is fine with me.
So with you! The cuddling I miss... and the dual income. But having to deal with another person on a daily basis (other than my child) is just not appealing... I want to live my life w/out obligation or expectation from someone else in my space. I'm a clean freak - love having my home not wrecked by a slob - haha...
I am 57 have not been in a relationship for about 15 years probably more got married at 20 i have no desire to be in a relationship i love living alone peaceful when i see people married people and they are complaining about their spouse i blurt out loud i am sorry i am so glad i am not in a relationship my time i treasure is with my grandchildren 2 and 2 months but living in northern ca 1 income its a struggle a huge struggle financially i keep hanging on i cant imagine at this point moving elsewhere my grandchildren are my world, but i think often of moving somewhere less expensive and traveling to a few countries one day ..
@@K8T.4426 Omg. I hear ya! Rent in Cal by myself eats up all my $$. But a room mate or b.f?? 😱.,Probably not gonna happen😂
@@kcloveonaleash I'm in SW Florida. The rents are CRAZY here, but to move in a liar or a cheat to help pay rent, I'd rather eat ramen soup forever to survive than do that!
I so appreciated your sharing today. I relate. Felt good to hear someone express how I feel, especially after 50. 🙌
This talk really resonated with me. Nice to know there are other like minded, independent women. Thanks for sharing with us.
I'm 58 and have been single for about 17 years. I love it and would never consider getting remarried again. I've had a few relationships but after about 2 years I'm so bored and don't want to put any effort into it. I love not having to answer to anyone and being my own person. I totally get your angle!
I get you! ❤After divorce & long term relationship & my partner was with my friend & it ended next guy tried to rip me off! Im very happy doing me ! It’s all a taboo that we were brought up with,,, couples thing ! Women today are amazingly strong ! Own houses cars & brilliant jobs & realise their worth
This was so fun! Thank you for taking us along.
I appreciate you being here for us !
I am 59. I was married for 20 years and I’ve been divorced 14 years. My kids were 12 and 6. I never had another long term relationship afterwards. I lost my son 2 years ago. He was 18. Then I got breast cancer. So it’s been a bit rough. I have lived in Austin Tx all my life. I want to do exactly what you are doing. Explore other places. You are so kind and welcoming in your videos. You give me inspiration. I can’t wait for the next vlog! Thank you!
I’m so sorry for your loss, Sheila 😞 No mother should ever have to lose a child.
@@SJL07 Thank you. I agree. I mentioned it because it is one of the similar things we share. I admire how Kimberly is able to move forward and find enjoyable moments in her life. I’m still working on that. Thank you for your comment. 💗
I've had several episodes of benign positional vertigo, to the point where I've fallen to the floor. It's a terrible feeling and I don't ever want to experience it again. It's been about two years that I haven't had one. Well, greetings from El Salvador!
I love following you and listening to your perspective on life as a woman that has such insight to looking and feeling fabulous.
I’m 48 and been divorced since 2004 and haven’t been in a relationship since. I stay busy and fulfilled with my career and my 21 yr old daughter… I feel at this age we are more interesting but not willing to compromise. Sounds like you’re living your best life 👏👏
I’m 65, newly divorced and love traveling alone. I’m not lonely at all! If you stay open to the universe and carry positivity, which you do, you attract many new acquaintances and some who become friends. There are wonderful people out there who come across your path. I truly believe we are lead to certain places and meet certain people for a reason. When I am grateful for things, people and places, God opens doors I never knew possible. Being responsible for my own self-care and love, living outside myself and helping others brings me a wholeness I never knew existed. God bless you and your new adventure Kimberley 🥰💕
Beautifully said!
Just love how you see all the bad stuff happening to your face - but you never quit smiling- chirping birds are always nice background music. Looking forward to your next vlog
I feel the same. I am so set in my ways now that I also don't want to get into arguments or try to convince someone to do what I want to do. I am 52, and have been in several relationships, but things haven't worked out. I have always been an introvert and I love to spend time with myself doing what I want when I want, answering to no one.
I envy your being brave snd just picking up and going! I’m 61 and married, 40 years this October. The older I get the mire I don’t want to spend time with people who just really aren’t nice and who could care less how they treat people. I’m so tired of “mean girls “. My husband gets frustrated when I don’t want to go and be around these people!
**NEW SUBSCRIBER** Your channel just popped up in my feed and I am so happy!!! You are such a lovely soul! It’s a great day when you make a new friend. 🙏🏽
Welcome and so happy to connect with you!
I agree regarding relationships! I've compromised my whole life, now it's my turn to do whatever I want! Thank you for sharing!
Just absolutely have been loving your videos from SC, especially this one! Your skin always looks great to me, but your spirit has really shined through recently. I too have experienced vertigo and it is no fun. But, I will say, that when I am very careful with my diet (no gluten) I can seemingly avoid it. I don’t think I’ve had an episode in at least 2 years. Can’t wait for your next video!
I enjoy your sweet down to earth content! Hope the big move goes well.
BTW, I think your still pretty even when your "fluffy" no apologies needed!
That's how life goes☺️
I discovered this today, from Middle Aged Minx. What a great description of being single, it's me to T. It's easier being on your own if you are adventurous, independent and interested in life. Been married, divorced, tried another relationship. Now happy and content just doing "me".
I am 68 and have been truly single for over 20 years and I'm not lonely because I actually like my own company. Lol! I am a social person though. Like you Kimberly, I don't have the time and energy to develop and maintain a relationship. I haven't many friends who are men and I enjoy their company as well as my female friends. If a man came into my life and he was a great fit for me, I would definitely embrace that. Have fun in SC!
I love, love, love watching your videos...and even more as time goes on...I am 74 & pretty much housebound due to mobility issues so it's so much fun for me to spend time with you...Don feel sorry for me though...I've had a fabulous life, living 28 years overseas in 7 countries (as a private citizen, not with the military) & traveling to many wonderful & exotic places...
After about 6 years of severe health problems you were the person who got me back on track with skincare, makeup & wellness...so thank you you so much...I plan on many great years ahead!!!
I love to see you on your adventures!
❤️ Sending love and light! Your high energy is infectious.
Love the look! You inspire me and I’m so grateful to have found you. Such a blessing - thank you!
I have had bouts of vertigo off and on for 30 plus years so I understand completely! Thank you for making these vlogs. I have enjoyed them so much!
Love your honesty and personal views on being single! :)
I have believed since my late 20s that marriage, committed relationships are good for the man not a woman. I am single and appreciate myself and life so much, now that I’m not married or have a boyfriend. Love your skin care and make up tips. I love the birds talking and singing as well. Just hearing then makes me happy. So much to look forward too when we share stories and listen to each other. So thank you much for sharing. I can’t wait for your next video. 🐦🐌🦋
You know what, I admire you so much!! I honestly do. I feel the exact same way about life. You seem like such a content very happy woman. You are doing thing you want and that make you happy. I love it. I hope some day I get the chance to sit and coffee with you and chat. I hope you have a fantastic beautiful day!!! Enjoy!
Kimberly, you are so gosh darn adorable! This was a fun video! I love your candid, calm openness about you and your life! I, too, am single...wait...HAPPILY single after 36 years of marriage. I have no desire to have any kind of a relationship . This is the happiest I have EVER been, enjoying life and my family, and my God. I didn't know single life could be so good. Looking forward to your next video and your "news"!!! Take care!!
I just love your honesty. I agree you can be 100%happy without being in a relationship. I am in a relationship now but I was happy and single for a long time. I think the point is is to be happy no matter where you're at in life. I really enjoyed your video today
Just love you. I’m 52. And I am in a relationship and it’s because he is so much like me. Pick up and go, stay in, go on adventures. I will say that if anything happens to him I will be fine single just for the reasons you mentioned. My Mom is 72 and she feels the same way. On a side note, I am wanting to come to Lake Tahoe in September and would like to hear your recommendations on where to stay and where to go for views and restaurants. *HUGSS!!!
Great, great, great catch-up video. I loved how you brought us into your get-ready routine and your day overall. Thanks
I truly enjoyed this vlog. Your peaceful lifestyle is something I am slightly jealous of!
Thanks for your honesty and openess regarding your life. Its so awesome to meet someone you have so much in common with. Enjoy your trip 😘
I’ve been married for 35 years. I’m now a sole caregiver to my husband of Alzheimer’s. He is at the later stages and needs help with everything. We don’t have any children. He goes to a day care three times a week and I feel guilty saying that I love my time alone just me myself and I. I love my husband but the first time I took him to his day care and went for lunch by myself I cried. I felt such a relief.
I just went through this. Caretaker for 7 yrs of my husband. I am now a widow. I don't know what to do with myself. I'm reclusive because I've had to be. I know it will get better but I feel I've lost my purpose. You stay strong, try to take care of yourself😢
@@bab196 Thank you for sharing❤️
I’ve read many of the comments and agree with your comments as well. I am 77 and was married for 53 years. My husband died three years ago suddenly of a massive heart attack. We had a good marriage, and I miss Alan every day, but I don’t think I will ever find anyone I could love as much or want to be in a lasting relationship. It is lonely sometimes, but I do have several female friends to go to movies and dinners with so I am adjusting.
Omg im just watching this now as I lay in bed with a bout of vertigo that has me knocked down. On Serc and went to the chiropractor yesterday for treatment. Having a meltdown because I cant work and drive right now. What are the odds??? Vertigo is no joke. Sending healing healthy vibes to Kimberly and anyone else who suffers from it. No fun. Love relaxing and enjoying the videos though. I could listen to Kimberly all day! 😄
I’ve just found your channel and I love it - love you - love listening to you. I am about your age - I think you said over 60 - and I so relate to everything you say about being single. I wouldn’t change it for anything, or should I say anyone. It would turn my life upside down … and I’d lose my precious freedom and independence and worse, I would have to compromise! Oh and be accountable to someone else. Been single for about 15 years with one disastrous 6 month period and I love waking up every morning to just my cat and peace and quiet and a day ahead I can chose what I do and when and where. It’s The Best. I must try reiki. Sounds wonderful.
You will love South Carolina! It does get very hot and humid, but we have different seasons, and lots of fun places to visit!
Kimberly, your skin looks amazing, so dewy and so even and so improved from 2 years ago, and just plain, WOW. All you are doing is working, especially when you smile. Also, I enjoy watching your natural curiosity, creativity, and free spirit, and agree with your concerns regarding wildfires, but what can you do? They happen anywhere, but, especially in the West. There is always something. I say, wherever you are, simply, enjoy life, and be grateful, and thank you for answering my Beauty Pie question. Safe travels, and go find YOUR soil. 😘
Yep. Devices work, especially as we get older. In my 40s I could coast a bit but now. Not so much.
Oh my, I have had those vertigo attacks too! Sometimes I have had them so bad that I have thrown up, and even while laying in the bed the room spins. It is horrible. I have motion sickness meds and I also do the head manipulations for the ear crystals.
This has been the most relaxing video of yours yet. I loved every second. I am originally from the Tahoe area and although beautiful, there are so many risks involved in living there. The south however, holds my heart. Slow paced, green and relaxing. I envy the lifestyle you have a bit. I have been military and married to military most of my adult life and have moved so many times. I miss the "nomadic" life. I loved being in a place for a little while and looking forward to what was next. Enjoy every second of it
You're not alone with the vertigo cases. You described what I go through every year or so. I have been experiencing vertigo for at least 15 years. I tell my friends it's like being drunk and you missed the party!! Walking into walls is not fun at 71yrs !! Enjoy your trip and be careful when you're out walking alone.
Can relate. I'm 62. Single for the first time in my life. Yes I do miss maybe a male companion, but living alone is the best!!!!
love your makeup choices. I too love that Dior Forever. Your makeup looks so good. I'm impressed with your walking and you've inspired me to get up and get up. Bravo to you for you independence. I on the other hand will be celebrating our 62nd. Wedding anniversary!
Hey Kimberly, I just turned 60 and when I think about dating it gives me a stomach ache, lol. I am good with being alone, have a lot of friends and activities I enjoy. As for vertigo... it could be a virus...and D and Zinc are antiviral. I love your videos!
I know what you mean about independence in a relationship. I know that I can do without all those strings attached. Why explain yourself to anyone, when you can simply be free to live life exactly how you want without any hassles? At this stage in life, those situations can create lots of unnecessary stress 😩.
Was married 31 years. Tomorrow is 15 years that I've been divorced! I have so much peace now. Very grateful for my single life & would never trade it away 💖
Loved this vlog of your time in AIKEN and all you shared ! You are such a gem and so relatable! All the best in finding that perfect place to call home..☺️
I’ve loved all three of your SC vlogs and am so looking forward to your announcement! You and Aiken sound like a match in heaven!
Kim its wonderful going with you on your journey. I too have vertigo occasionally and it does kick the butt. I'm only out of commission for a day or two but I have learned a trick with the pillow at the end of the bed turning the head from side to side waiting for the dizziness to stop in each ear before turning head. I envy you for traveling alone. I just buried my husband; we were inseparable doing mostly everything together. I'm not comfortable going into a restaurant alone or vacationing along. Maybe that will come. I love your channel so full of info. Be safe on your travels.
Regarding being single... I couldn't agree with you more! I've been single for the past 22 years and haven't had the desire to be in a romantic relationship at all. Busy living my own very full life, Now, however, I'm beginning to seriously consider it. Hummmmm. xoxo
This may be my favorite vlog of yours and I watch them all! Married since age 19 so I have no idea of what living alone is like. I'm so happy you love the south. I live in western NC and think it's heaven on earth. Love SC too. Will be going to Greenville next week.
Amazing how you feel like a close friend. You are just darling.
I’m 58 and I’ve been single for years and u remind me so much of myself, I just do better not in a relationship. I don’t really think about it and guys will approach me and I never follow thru , I’m just so busy and I don’t want the distraction.. I’ve always said im not good relationship material ..not at this time anyways ..im enjoying “me” time .. im from North Carolina and I miss the Carolina’s so much .. I now live in central Florida and people think it’s so cool to live here , it’s ok but it’s perpetually hot and I miss the seasons so much , the leaves changing etc that I know eventually I will move back .. I’m so enjoying your vlogs and that Dior foundation looks so perfect on u !! Happy Sunday Kimberly !!!
I live in Florida too. Summers are brutal here, not enjoyable at all! When I retire in a year or so, I plan on heading to NC or Tn to find a milder climate.
Kimberly it's always a pleasure to watch you, I love your honesty and of course your makeup reviews for the drugstore products are just awesome. I don't blame you for enjoying being single, freedom is such a wonderful thing. I was single for 14 years but I have remarried and actually happy in my current marriage but I remember being happy as a single person as well so enjoy
I have been single for a long time also, and I love it. I was married but have been alone now for a long time. I am retired and avoid relationships because they are too time consuming. Was married, raised children, worked and now I do what I want to do. I am blessed with lovely children and grandchildren. I am forever busy. I do not want someone to ask me what is for dinner or be forever in a give and take on decisions or drama. I am really not bitter or angry, I just love being alone. God bless all the wonderful men and marriages that my friends are in. Not for me…
