How generous of you to share such personal information about yourself and your life. I appreciate it. During this pandemic I've been battling depression. I'm single & 55 and I am just having a terrible time with getting dressed. That's how I found your channel. My son said "Mom, you have to put on clothes. You can't live in pajama pants anymore." So, I turned on RUclips & prayed I'd find inspiration. Boom! There you are! So fun and informative. I'm not better, but I now wear jeans or joggers every day versus pajamas or leggings. I now own 4 pairs of those lose Eileen Fisher athle/leisure wide leg pants that look good with sweaters & tops. And 4 prs of jeans that look cute with tunics & blouses. Your jeans episode & your white denim episode was so helpful to me. Staying home & being alone with the dogs really isn't a good reason to not care about my appearance. Thanks to several of your tips I'm putting on clothes after my morning shower instead of clean pajamas. Go me! And I'm back to putting on foundation and mascara instead of just my sunscreen. I know the kids are happier and the FedEx man is less scared of me. Thanks again for sharing and all the best to you.
I recently found a woman on RUclips who brightened my day. Her name is Lana Vawser and she addresses some issues that are going on in the world. She gave me hope when I was feeling down about it. The one on The Hunted Shall Become the Hunter is especially good! :) She has a series on Coffee with Jesus, that I'm checking out. Thank you Beth for sharing! Hugs .. Annette and Beth!
Annette - You are not alone - We are all battling this isolation and I have developed an intimate relationship with sweatpants. LOL - I think Beth is a great resource and I love her videos because she helps us became involved in dressing well which is a positive influence at this somewhat depressing time - She gives us something else to think about so hang in there because this too will end.
Hi Beth, I have been subscribed and watching your channel for a couple of months now. After watching this one today I was in the kitchen and after this video ended another one came on where you shared the loss of your husband. It brought me to tears because I just lost my husband of 57 years in August, 2020; and I know what you have gone through and are still going through. I started watching you because I knew that I was "letting myself go"...I was so depressed and in such grief that I just didn't care. I also knew that my actions were not healthy for me and were not honoring to my husbands memory. He would not want me to "give up" and quit living. Watching your videos have helped motivate me to at least begin to make an attempt to do better with my appearance … and just making myself do that has also helped with me beginning to feel better. Thank you for sharing your loss and your overcoming spirit with us. I am sure it has helped others as well.
Growing up with a functional alcoholic parents can really shape ups. I hope that you are doing well. You are an inspiration to us older ladies. I love the care you put into yourself. You are very beautiful and kind for sharing your tips!
Beth, you are so full of grace, such an inspiration! I cannot get on top,of my health, which I beat myself up about all the time. I keep trying with inspiration from you. I love your style, your home projects and especially your advice.
Janice I’m 67 and spent 2016 to Feb 2021 in a terrible downward spiral with my health. It was starting s ketogenic lifestyle that turned it all around for me. In less than a month of this new way of eating most of debilitating aches and pains just evaporated. Over the rest of 2021 I lost 45 lbs. and begin to care about how I looked again. I had been vegetarian for the 15 years prior because I thought it was healthier.
A very interesting and intriguing video. There's a good lesson here, too: Self-confidence and self-love/acceptance are the most beautiful accessories of all. Thank you for your sincerity and honesty.
What a wonderfully candid video, Beth. Thank you for your openness and honesty. I have watched your channel for a couple years now and always look forward to your videos. You are beautiful inside and out, with a wonderful sense of style and great sense of humour. I never assumed your life was perfect and idyllic, as we all have been through a lot by the time we reach our 60's.
Enjoyed every minute of this fabulous video. Lovely that we get to meet the woman behind the camera. Assumed all the wonderful traits u possess - certainly wasn't disappointed. U're one very special lady Beth Thank u
Beth, I love you, I love your style, your sense of humor and your honest approach to life. I have enjoyed getting to know you over the years and you are my style icon. Thank you for sharing your life, your views and yourself with us. Keep it up kiddo! You're the best! Edie
The video was informative. You certainly did not have to share all you did. You do bring class to you tube. We are missing class in today’s society . Thanks for all your content.
This was so sweet, so personal, so honest. I’m 2 years younger and we’ve been married 34 years this summer. I can’t imagine losing my husband this young, I’m so sorry Beth. I appreciate your channel and enjoy your content. Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing so much of your personal life with us! Even though we've never met in person, it gives us a chance to know you even better! You are an inspiration to so many, keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing. I am a 52 yr old mom and breast cancer survivor. I have just recently learned to separate from my mom identity to focus on me, which I’ve also learned provides my teenage sons an important example. Just found your channel and really appreciate your perspective.
Every time I’m in need of inspiration, or a pick me up, or a giggle I watch this video. All your videos are informative and you are so engaging! Thanks Beth!!!
Beth, you are a truly AWESOME LADY!! Such a wonderful and inspirational personal video... thanks so much for sharing! I wanted to send you my deepest sympathies for the passing of your husband, Mr. Style. It really shows your inner strength that you simply keep going and forging ahead after such a significant loss in your life! All the best to you, Beth! 💖
I strongly agree about educated women, because of that I got a PhD in Sociology. My three sons went to the university too. My husband had a PhD in Anthropology.
I remember the pictures you posted and your mother was beautiful. This was a fun vid. I had a minor eye lift because it got to the point that I had to force my eyes to go wide to be able to read. No one knew and what a help that was.
Glad i found this older video. I was so curious about your life. I would have put $ on the model question. Love your channel. Thank you for all your hard work in trying to help us. Very grateful.
I just found your channel. I have needed some inspiration because I did let myself go. Lived in sweats and pjs which then lent itself to depression. You are beautiful and have a tremendous sense of style.
Just love your videos. I am 68 years young, and I find you very inspiring, refreshing and resourceful. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life, your knowledge, and your wisdom.
Hello Beth, I became a widow suddenly 2 1/2 weeks ago at the age of 55! I appreciate your candor and your past videos about being a widow. I'm a faithful follower and fellow Georgian.
So sorry to hear about your loss Beth. I had no idea , you just kept on delivering your advice, with your good sense of humor and your smile. I have no doubt you will carry on, stronger than before!
This was so fun, Beth! Thank you for sharing! I just love your attitude, you inspire me to live life to the fullest. And I so agree with you - sometimes WTF is all that is needed!
The "F" bomb !! Love it....it just works, doesn't it ??? This was a wonderful video getting to know you better. I relate to so much of your background as I, too, am a mid-west girl (Peoria). Also, I was in the hotel business and your story brought back so many memories of hotel life as I no longer am in the business. Thank you for your honesty, genuineness and FUN !!
Definitely, you're a smart and very intruiging lady. You move with such grace no wonder most of your followers, including myself, think that you are a model.
Love your honesty and classiness. I agree that we must take care of ourselves regardless of age so that we can enjoy our lives and families. I too agree that women are always on a display to society that does not value the wisdoem that aging brings. We are all aging and so we must live our best lives. thank you Beth!
What a delight you are + although some of those questions where difficult to answer I think you answered with grace. What a joy you are + how wonderful that you share your life with me, all the way in Australia. Thank so very much
Nice inspirational video. You are kind, knowledgeable, and funny. Thank you for lifting us up and challenging us to be our best. So glad I found your channel. 😍
Loved the peek into your life! I laughed out loud when you talked about Who Wore What when your mom & friends talked about past events. So true!!! And I totally relate to how busy you were during those Rearing Children years. As a mom of four, I look back now and wonder how the heck I did it. In many ways, the Mom Thing prepare me in fabulous ways for the new goals and ambitions I would have after they left the nest.
Oh Beth, this was so much fun! I am so sorry to hear you lost your hubby Mr. Stiles...I am so glad you had all those loving years together. It was moving to hear about how you watched your father struggle with drinking. And WTF? Gosh! I am right with you! You are beautiful! Love you! Susan
Beth, I applaud you for doing this video. I feel the same about aging. I am 75, and I do my very best to keep my skin looking good, keep my figure and stay up-to-date on fashion trends & styles. In my mind, I am still in my 30's, but I see my mother when I look into the mirror 😮
What a great sport you are Beth! Some of those assumption were pretty wild...a wig? Thanks for sharing your story and continuing to inspire us to be our best selves as we grow older. You are a classy woman and it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Hi Beth! I love your channel! I will be 62 this August. I just love your style! Thank you for sharing your life and style with us! Blessings to you and I am so sorry for your loss.
I so enjoy learning from you, and thank you for sharing such a personal and interesting message today. FYI - I am also from northwest Iowa and it was a wonderful place to grow up.
I am watching some of your videos, Beth, from months or years ago. They help me get motivated to combine things on my closet. Your exercise and diet are encouraging since you look so pretty and healthy.
Excellent loved hearing about you!💕 I had to edit 😊 I am guilty of being so quick to comment when I enjoy a video and as I continued to watch I was so inspired...it's not just hearing about you--but also connecting to what values and beliefs that you hold...SO so refreshing and exciting! Thanks for taking the time and the vulnerability to share💕
Love your candor and your style and grace. I am very grateful to have found your channel as your wisdom had truly influenced me and encouraged me to be my best right now where I am at and the age I am. (59) Beauty is inside and we can surely enhance our outside to reflect it even more. From one Beth to another, I offer my Thanks!
Beth, love all your answers and honesty. I will not do any surgery either. My plan is to age gracefully. I just feel like you, we all will show our age eventually. So what! It is all a part of living. I lost my first husband so I can relate to your loss. So hard to lose a spouse. Have a great rest of the week. I really enjoy your videos and Instagram. Hugs! Connie
Love the video. I am still trying to figure out where all the time went. I need to wrap my mind around looking older. It is a blessing to age, but definitely not for sissies
I had 55 wonderful years with my husband Dennis who joined our son in heaven 7 months ago it is a challenge but I’m blessed with a wonderful daughter granddaughters friends and people like u Beth who bring joy, beauty and knowledge into my life.... thanks so very much ❤️🙏
I absolutely loved your honesty Beth. I've been watching your u-tubes and Facebook for over a year. I always look forward to a new day to see what your up to. I love your style. Simlpy beautiful inside and out. Keep smiling Beth. Love you 😍
You are doing so much for women. I love your content. I too, lost my husband a year and a half ago, I am 63. I look for inspiration from women that value living well and with style. Life is so precious- thank you for your hard work and inspiration.
Hey Beth, I enjoy your videos so much. I don't live too far from you. I live near Helen GA. I love style and clothes. I'm going through my closet and jewelry now and really love to watch your videos in between. I am retired now but before that I use to dress professionally every day as a NP. I accumulated alot of clothes. Now, I'm not wearing suits and Ann Taylor. LOL That was my favorite store. My inspiration was my grandmother. When I was preschool she would take me shopping and have to get the matching purse and shoes to a dress. She definitely had style and I inherited her love for clothes and jewelry. Take care!
Loved the video! Thanks for being authentic with us. My favorite line was, "I still think I'm 36 and then I look in the mirror..." :) That's so me!! :)
I knew one day I would look in the mirror and see an old lady looking at me! Will be 70 soon and that lady keeps trying to pop up so thanks for helping me to keep her away!!
I stumbled on to your page today. Now binge watching. You brought memories back of my Mom. She was a model and did some modeling work for Makoffs and I Magnins when she lived in San Francisco. Her friens always joked that Diamonds are a Girls Best friend was my lullaby. Thank you for this trip down memory lane.
Dear Beth, I recalled the first time I came across your videos you would be walking and giving advice to your sons on quality from linens to houseware when they go shopping. You are a lovely lady with great style, and a woman of substance that works very hard. I been with my husband 42 years and it saddening me so when you mentioned the death of your husband. That is a hard nut to crack and I pray God keeps giving you the strength and courage you have. Thank you for sharing, especially your personal life and I am happy you have three sons. Stay safe .
I like the way you carry yourself. Your way of speech is intelligent, warm and knowledgeable. And you are comfortable in your our skin. You don't need any cosmetic procedures. You look beautiful as you are.
Beth, you are gorgeous inside and out. Thanks for sharing with us your so many details about you and your family. Love your channel for that reason, your honesty and grace. Aging is a matter of wisdom only. Stay blessed, dear! 🌹👗👠👚👜👒🥻🌹
Loved this video.....you seem to be a very down to earth kinda person. I love your fashion choices and at 66 I dress the way I want, ripped jeans and all. From one Iowa City area girl to another, keep up the awesome videos!
I agree that it’s not easy to be a widow. I lost my husband of 29 years in 2017. I found it was hard to stay in our home so I downsized to an apartment. It’s been an adjustment. Thank you for sharing such personal information about yourself. It helps us to connect with you and to relate to you.
Love your channel, Beth. You're keeping all us women "of a certain age" on our toes because you are fab! Sounds like we lived a similar childhood, but we survived because that's who we are. ❤️
I enjoyed your story and watch your videos due to their positivity and my interest in fashion and aging gracefully. ‘Resilient’ would be another term to describe you.
Hi Beth, just found this video now. It's so nice of you to share some of your life story with us. Sorry to here you have lost your husband just when life gives you quality time. You are an inspiration to everyone, I am 69 this month and never go down stairs in a morning without basic makeup and hair done. You are correct in saying it makes you feel ready for the day. Love your video's and wishing you well. 🌹🌹
Hi Beth, just watched your video on assumptions and loved it! Have always admired your style, but now I can relate more to you. I am 63 yrs old and have lost my husband 2 yrs.. ago and find it hard to adjust to being a single woman. I am currently focusing on self improvement, i.e., diet, exercise, and losing weight. Thank you for all the inspirational videos you do they are very helpful. Life has to go on, wishing us all happy days ahead.
It is so wonderful to hear your story…you really are a inspiration to me. I had a similar childhood experience with an alcoholic father who also died young at 59. I also find so many of your opinions and attitudes to be right in line with mind…thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us👍
Very interesting. So very sad that you lost your little one. Also loosing your Dad at such a young age and your beloved husband. You are still thriving and interested in the life you have and I admire you for that and looking good whilst you are doing it. All the best and stay safe and well. Uk viewer
I’m glad to hear you are a normal human being. I occasionally drop the f bomb also. I used to be a lot worse. I used to curse a lot when around m oldest granddaughter. She never repeated what I said, but she has the mouth of a sailor now. I have some young grandkids so I’ve cleaned up my mouth. My husband used to say I cursed like a truck driver. So with age comes wisdom. I also am the youngest of seven kids. So I understand the grabbing for food. I still eat fast, I’ve never been able to slow down. I love your style. And I am also almost 62. And I try to take care of myself. I had some health scares a few years ago. It’s amazing what does to your life. I’ve survived it all and think I’m a better person because of it. I don’t take life for granted anymore.
Beth, I loved this!!! You have the cutest personality and are very genuine. It's nice to get to know you better. Keep up the good work on this wonderful channel. God bless you.
Thanks Beth, this video was a surprise I am sorry to learn of your husband's passing, and to find out about the trials in your youth, you strike me as a genuine type person, with a positive attitude towards life and someone who appreciates life and knows how to make the best of it. I love that your human like the rest of us, and the bit about your pottie mouth at the end made me laugh, I've always enjoyed watching your videos for the ideas and inspiration you give, you always show us how important it is to put thought and effort into looking our best.
Some have commented that they think of themselves as middle aged and then look in the mirror…..me too, I’m still 20 something, with the fashion sense and going and comings, and I look in mirror and see my 76 yr old face. I feel sometimes I’m in wrong time, but finally I’ve come to be set as to how I am and what I think looks good on me and what image I want to present and model for my granddaughter. It’s taken a long time ….my whole life really. I will say for some of those 20 somethings that the jobs and family life you experience will have an effect on how you go about your image, how you decide to look, how you chose clothes, makeup looks, all those girly things. So that’s something to think of as grow up.
Hi Beth. I’m an Iowa girl too. I grew up in NE Iowa. Moved to Minneapolis after college, was a bond trader for 25 years, and have now retired back to NE Iowa where my family still lives. Really enjoyed this. 💜💜💜Paulette.
Listening to your vlog I could relate to several things you said. I just turned 60 last month and I too feel like I’m 35. I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that I’m 60. I’ve let my hair grow rather long, supposedly that’s a no no, but I don’t care. And I’m just letting my hair color do what ever happens naturally. Also, when you were talking about relating what people or you were wearing at this or that event, I so relate to that. There are things that happened 40 or 50 years ago and I will remember what I was wearing. I do know that my love of fashion definitely comes from my mother because she was the same way about remember what she was wearing at certain times in her life. Anyway, it’s been delightful listening to your story. I also drop the “F” bomb😂.

and we all know how important our FedEx deliveries are these days! keep on going, Annette. life is always one step in front of the other. God Bless!
I enjoyed your honesty. You show women how to work towards their best. Thank you
I recently found a woman on RUclips who brightened my day. Her name is Lana Vawser and she addresses some issues that are going on in the world. She gave me hope when I was feeling down about it.

grief is very debilitating. but you are right about honoring your husband's memory. take it one day at a time. and go easy on yourself. God Bless!
Growing up with a functional alcoholic parents can really shape ups. I hope that you are doing well. You are an inspiration to us older ladies. I love the care you put into yourself. You are very beautiful and kind for sharing your tips!
parents and children remind us that life isn't perfect. but love can see you through the good, bad and in-between.
I am learning much from you. This is much needed information. I am 74, but in my mind, I am 40. 😁
Rock on!
Beth, you are so full of grace, such an inspiration! I cannot get on top,of my health, which I beat myself up about all the time. I keep trying with inspiration from you. I love your style, your home projects and especially your advice.
don't beat yourself up! life is always about progress whether it's forward or reverse. we're all just putting one step in front of the other.

Sorry for your lost. Take care of yourself.
Im so sorry for your loss! I don't even like to think about how I'll survive if my spouse passes before me!! 😭😭

What a delight you are + although some of those questions where difficult to answer I think you answered with grace. What a joy you are + how wonderful that you share your life with me, all the way in Australia. Thank so very much
Thank you so much!
I appreciate your honesty regarding your father.
he was a great man, flaws and all. he taught me so many valuable life lessons that i am eternally grateful for.
Nice inspirational video. You are kind, knowledgeable, and funny. Thank you for lifting us up and challenging us to be our best. So glad I found your channel. 😍
I appreciate that!
Loved the peek into your life! I laughed out loud when you talked about Who Wore What when your mom & friends talked about past events. So true!!! And I totally relate to how busy you were during those Rearing Children years. As a mom of four, I look back now and wonder how the heck I did it. In many ways, the Mom Thing prepare me in fabulous ways for the new goals and ambitions I would have after they left the nest.
how did we do it?! but it was fun and, yes, it prepared us for things to come.
Oh Beth, this was so much fun! I am so sorry to hear you lost your hubby Mr. Stiles...I am so glad you had all those loving years together. It was moving to hear about how you watched your father struggle with drinking. And WTF? Gosh! I am right with you! You are beautiful! Love you! Susan
Beth, I applaud you for doing this video. I feel the same about aging. I am 75, and I do my very best to keep my skin looking good, keep my figure and stay up-to-date on fashion trends & styles. In my mind, I am still in my 30's, but I see my mother when I look into the mirror 😮
me too!
Good to get to know you more Beth. Your lifestyle certainly works for you and shows in your lovely skin & hair.👍🏻🤗.
Thanks so much
I think that you are the woman that we all hope to become. This was most-informative and a lot of fun, too. Have a great day and thank you so much.
What a great sport you are Beth! Some of those assumption were pretty wild...a wig? Thanks for sharing your story and continuing to inspire us to be our best selves as we grow older. You are a classy woman and it’s always a pleasure to watch your videos.
you would be amazed at what people say on social media. thanks for watching!
Hi Beth! I love your channel! I will be 62 this August. I just love your style! Thank you for sharing your life and style with us! Blessings to you and I am so sorry for your loss.
thanks you for your sweet words.
You look stunning in this video. Not sure if its hair, makeup, fitness or a combination of living a good life lol.
Oh thank you!
And beautiful colours!
I so enjoy learning from you, and thank you for sharing such a personal and interesting message today. FYI - I am also from northwest Iowa and it was a wonderful place to grow up.
i'm a native having been born in Iowa City. and I attended the University of Iowa just like my Dad! Iowa will always have a special place in my heart.
I am watching some of your videos, Beth, from months or years ago. They help me get motivated to combine things on my closet. Your exercise and diet are encouraging since you look so pretty and healthy.
Excellent loved hearing about you!💕 I had to edit 😊 I am guilty of being so quick to comment when I enjoy a video and as I continued to watch I was so inspired...it's not just hearing about you--but also connecting to what values and beliefs that you hold...SO so refreshing and exciting! Thanks for taking the time and the vulnerability to share💕
you are so welcome, linda! thanks so much for being here.
Enjoyed hearing about your life! Thank you!
and thank you for being here!
Thank you, Beth, for sharing yourself with us... you are kind & generous & help us so much... xoxo 💋
You are so welcome!
Love your candor and your style and grace. I am very grateful to have found your channel as your wisdom had truly influenced me and encouraged me to be my best right now where I am at and the age I am. (59) Beauty is inside and we can surely enhance our outside to reflect it even more. From one Beth to another, I offer my Thanks!
you are so very welcome, beth! i so appreciate you being here.
Great video Beth, thank you and so sorry about the loss if your husband!🙏🏽❤️
Beth, love all your answers and honesty. I will not do any surgery either. My plan is to age gracefully. I just feel like you, we all will show our age eventually. So what! It is all a part of living. I lost my first husband so I can relate to your loss. So hard to lose a spouse. Have a great rest of the week. I really enjoy your videos and Instagram. Hugs! Connie
You're so beautifully inspiring Beth! I want to age gracefully just like you.
You can do it!
Love the video. I am still trying to figure out where all the time went. I need to wrap my mind around looking older. It is a blessing to age, but definitely not for sissies
life has its challenges but you are right about it being a blessing to age! if we focus more on that we tend to do all right.
I had 55 wonderful years with my husband Dennis who joined our son in heaven 7 months ago it is a challenge but I’m blessed with a wonderful daughter granddaughters friends and people like u Beth who bring joy, beauty and knowledge into my life.... thanks so very much ❤️🙏
God Bless, Judy. Take good care of yourself.
I absolutely loved your honesty Beth. I've been watching your u-tubes and Facebook for over a year. I always look forward to a new day to see what your up to. I love your style. Simlpy beautiful inside and out. Keep smiling Beth. Love you 😍
thanks so much for your sweet words, lorraine!
You are doing so much for women. I love your content. I too, lost my husband a year and a half ago, I am 63. I look for inspiration from women that value living well and with style. Life is so precious- thank you for your hard work and inspiration.
I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless!
Oh Beth, how I loved this!!!! Love you even more!!! Thank you so much!🌹🌹🌹so fun learning about you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Beth, I enjoy your videos so much. I don't live too far from you. I live near Helen GA. I love style and clothes. I'm going through my closet and jewelry now and really love to watch your videos in between. I am retired now but before that I use to dress professionally every day as a NP. I accumulated alot of clothes. Now, I'm not wearing suits and Ann Taylor. LOL That was my favorite store. My inspiration was my grandmother. When I was preschool she would take me shopping and have to get the matching purse and shoes to a dress. She definitely had style and I inherited her love for clothes and jewelry. Take care!
thanks for sharing!
Loved the video! Thanks for being authentic with us. My favorite line was, "I still think I'm 36 and then I look in the mirror..." :) That's so me!! :)
Love that!
I knew one day I would look in the mirror and see an old lady looking at me! Will be 70 soon and that lady keeps trying to pop up so thanks for helping me to keep her away!!
I stumbled on to your page today. Now binge watching. You brought memories back of my Mom. She was a model and did some modeling work for Makoffs and I Magnins when she lived in San Francisco. Her friens always joked that Diamonds are a Girls Best friend was my lullaby. Thank you for this trip down memory lane.
Thank you for sharing your personal life Beth.It was quite an interesting video.
i'm so happy you enjoyed the video!
Dear Beth,
I recalled the first time I came across your videos you would be walking and giving advice to your sons on quality from linens to houseware when they go shopping. You are a lovely lady with great style, and a woman of substance that works very hard. I been with my husband 42 years and it saddening me so when you mentioned the death of your husband. That is a hard nut to crack and I pray God keeps giving you the strength and courage you have. Thank you for sharing, especially your personal life and I am happy you have three sons. Stay safe .
thank you so much, dori for your sweet words.
I like the way you carry yourself. Your way of speech is intelligent, warm and knowledgeable. And you are comfortable in your our skin. You don't need any cosmetic procedures. You look beautiful as you are.
Thank you so much 🙂
Beth, you are gorgeous inside and out. Thanks for sharing with us your so many details about you and your family.
Love your channel for that reason, your honesty and grace. Aging is a matter of wisdom only. Stay blessed, dear! 🌹👗👠👚👜👒🥻🌹
Thank you! You too!
Loved this video.....you seem to be a very down to earth kinda person. I love your fashion choices and at 66 I dress the way I want, ripped jeans and all. From one Iowa City area girl to another, keep up the awesome videos!
Thank you so much!!
You are the wonderful woman that I imagined you were! ❤ Thanks for sharing.
you are always so supportive, Eva! thank you.
I say this sincerely - thanks for sharing! You're a charming person and that adds to your channel, of course.
I agree that it’s not easy to be a widow. I lost my husband of 29 years in 2017. I found it was hard to stay in our home so I downsized to an apartment. It’s been an adjustment.
Thank you for sharing such personal information about yourself. It helps us to connect with you and to relate to you.
Thanks for sharing!! God Bless.
Love your channel, Beth. You're keeping all us women "of a certain age" on our toes because you are fab! Sounds like we lived a similar childhood, but we survived because that's who we are. ❤️
there's not one perfect life. but that's what makes us interesting. it's the trials in life that mold and shape us.
I enjoyed your story and watch your videos due to their positivity and my interest in fashion and aging gracefully. ‘Resilient’ would be another term to describe you.
Hi Beth, just found this video now. It's so nice of you to share some of your life story with us. Sorry to here you have lost your husband just when life gives you quality time. You are an inspiration to everyone, I am 69 this month and never go down stairs in a morning without basic makeup and hair done. You are correct in saying it makes you feel ready for the day.
Love your video's and wishing you well. 🌹🌹
Hi Beth, just watched your video on assumptions and loved it! Have always admired your style, but now I can relate more to you. I am 63 yrs old and have lost my husband 2 yrs.. ago and find it hard to adjust to being a single woman. I am currently focusing on self improvement, i.e., diet, exercise, and losing weight. Thank you for all the inspirational videos you do they are very helpful. Life has to go on, wishing us all happy days ahead.
you are so welcome, bernadette! it's one day at a time but it sounds as if you are moving forward with you life which is so important.
Loved this video. Thanks for letting us get to know you better. I love your hair!! Wish I could go to your hairstylist and get the same cut. 😁
i do have an amazing stylist that keeps me at the top of my hair game!
It is so wonderful to hear your story…you really are a inspiration to me. I had a similar childhood experience with an alcoholic father who also died young at 59. I also find so many of your opinions and attitudes to be right in line with mind…thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us👍
Very interesting. So very sad that you lost your little one. Also loosing your Dad at such a young age and your beloved husband. You are still thriving and interested in the life you have and I admire you for that and looking good whilst you are doing it. All the best and stay safe and well. Uk viewer
thank you so much for your sweet words.
You're such a genuine person!! I like your life style a lot. Congrats! Your Brazilian fan.
I’m glad to hear you are a normal human being. I occasionally drop the f bomb also. I used to be a lot worse. I used to curse a lot when around m oldest granddaughter. She never repeated what I said, but she has the mouth of a sailor now. I have some young grandkids so I’ve cleaned up my mouth. My husband used to say I cursed like a truck driver. So with age comes wisdom. I also am the youngest of seven kids. So I understand the grabbing for food. I still eat fast, I’ve never been able to slow down. I love your style. And I am also almost 62. And I try to take care of myself. I had some health scares a few years ago. It’s amazing what does to your life. I’ve survived it all and think I’m a better person because of it. I don’t take life for granted anymore.
Beth, I loved this!!! You have the cutest personality and are very genuine. It's nice to get to know you better. Keep up the good work on this wonderful channel. God bless you.
Thank you so much!!
Beth this was a courageous video, funny about some of the assumptions, keep inspiring us.
i will do my best!
Hello Jude... How are you doing today... 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
And hope you do stay safe due to the pandemic over there.?
Thanks Beth, this video was a surprise I am sorry to learn of your husband's passing, and to find out about the trials in your youth, you strike me as a genuine type person, with a positive attitude towards life and someone who appreciates life and knows how to make the best of it. I love that your human like the rest of us, and the bit about your pottie mouth at the end made me laugh, I've always enjoyed watching your videos for the ideas and inspiration you give, you always show us how important it is to put thought and effort into looking our best.
i so appreciate you being here, yvon.
Some have commented that they think of themselves as middle aged and then look in the mirror…..me too, I’m still 20 something, with the fashion sense and going and comings, and I look in mirror and see my 76 yr old face. I feel sometimes I’m in wrong time, but finally I’ve come to be set as to how I am and what I think looks good on me and what image I want to present and model for my granddaughter. It’s taken a long time ….my whole life really. I will say for some of those 20 somethings that the jobs and family life you experience will have an effect on how you go about your image, how you decide to look, how you chose clothes, makeup looks, all those girly things. So that’s something to think of as grow up.
Hi Beth. I’m an Iowa girl too. I grew up in NE Iowa. Moved to Minneapolis after college, was a bond trader for 25 years, and have now retired back to NE Iowa where my family still lives. Really enjoyed this. 💜💜💜Paulette.
we have lots in common! i lived in Minneapolis twice and Rochester once.
Beth you are beautiful on the inside and outside. Thanks for being so honest !!!
you are simply the best! thank you.
Loved this! Thanks for sharing about yourself. As your contemporary I appreciated this very much.
You are so welcome!
So interesting to learn more about you and your life. Thank you for being so vulnerable.
Thanks for watching!
Listening to your vlog I could relate to several things you said. I just turned 60 last month and I too feel like I’m 35. I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that I’m 60. I’ve let my hair grow rather long, supposedly that’s a no no, but I don’t care. And I’m just letting my hair color do what ever happens naturally. Also, when you were talking about relating what people or you were wearing at this or that event, I so relate to that. There are things that happened 40 or 50 years ago and I will remember what I was wearing. I do know that my love of fashion definitely comes from my mother because she was the same way about remember what she was wearing at certain times in her life. Anyway, it’s been delightful listening to your story.
I also drop the “F” bomb😂.
Nice to know I’m in such good company!!!😎😎😎
You are an amazing lady! Thank you for being so candid.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic…love you and your honesty and Style
Thank you for your authenticity and gracious honesty.
You are so welcome
What a beautiful soul you are, so down to earth and beautiful inside and out.
