Hey awesome ones. Heather here and you know what I'm always saying...be your
authentic self....but I found a few things that I was doing that I really think was
aging me. You want to know what they were? It all starts in just a few seconds.
So you've been just kind of doing the same old things the same old looks for
the past few years...I mean maybe it's the same toothpaste that you used in the
morning and the same makeup and the same same old hairdo that you had like in the
1980s or 90s or whatever something like that. Well I really took a good look at
myself, you know especially in the past few years and I started getting rid of
some of the habits that I had that were making me look older or appear older and
I don't know about you but I just don't want to be that obvious. So the number
one thing that I stopped wearing was beige pantyhose.....you know the kind that I mean the the kind
that if your porcelain skinned or fair like me you're wearing like a light
pantyhose, beige pantyhose something like that and look around like people just
aren't wearing the pantyhose anymore. So just accept the fact as long as you're
shaving your legs of course, that bare legs are just fine. You know I gotta tell
you this funny story I went to somebody's house and of course I took
off my shoes and I was wearing my little panty hose. This this wasn't even that
long ago and a little boy came up to me who was at the home and he said what
happened to your toes? That was it. I was saying okay like he doesn't even think I
have toes. It's time to give up the pantyhose so if you're kind of stumped
like I was as - okay I'm not wearing you know the flesh colored pantyhose now
what do I do. I personally don't like to walk around
somebody's house in bare feet, so one of the things that you can do is get these
little tiny sockets they're available at a lot of drugstores and of course will
link them in the description for you as well. They come in all
colors including white, so those work for you the other thing is maybe you're
wearing a pair of shoes bare legs you know you're wearing a pretty summer
dress or a skirt or something like that. I also find that the little Dr. Scholl's
inserts they work nice in the shoes especially
sneakers, because I don't know but if you just wear your bare feet you tend
to get those sneakers and shoes stinky and these things we just you know throw
them away and put in another pair. Also gray black pantyhose I still think
they're ago and certainly you know dark colored tights and that sort of thing
they're definitely still in. So number two is too much
tanning. Now we all know not to go out and bake in the Sun, but I think what
happened to me was I started wearing these bare legs and I just thought oh my
gosh everybody's looking at how white my legs are and that sort of thing. I
started going to the tanning beds and getting more of a tan on my legs
and you know what you're still wrinkling up your skin you're still doing some
kind of sun damage. So instead of that just be really really happy with the
skin that you're in. You know that porcelain skin is actually in and of
course we're gonna want to shave our legs, we're going to want oh you know for
we're showing off our arms we're going to have a lot of moisturizer maybe
something with a little bit of a sheen to it and you know be proud of the skin
we're in. Another thing I used to do and I don't really do it anymore is I used
to buy some products that would be my own spray-on tans and for the legs or
for the whole body and that sort of thing. I don't do that anymore
um I have this fear that somebody's going to go, oh sit down Heather and
they're going to have me sitting on some white sofa there's gonna be like two
little orange marks there and oh that's where Heather
was and not a pretty sight not a pretty thought. So for number three remember how
I said at the beginning of the video how sometimes we just go on autopilot and we
do the same old makeup and you know as an eighties model I was...hey you know
what.... this makeup looks great on me but I had to learn that as I was aging
these were not my friends. These under-eye eyeliners and too much
eyeliners and as a matter of fact I did a video on how makeup can be aging you
and I'm going to put the link up there for you so you can take a look at it.
I mean it's just my opinion but I really feel that if you're really putting the
darkness under your eyes, putting on too much bronzer that sort of thing, you
really are aging yourself and another thing, there's so many new advances
makeup right now and I talked about an awful lot of them in my Friday videos
and my beauty videos and one of the items that I have, this is not sponsored
by them, but is the Revlon anti-shine cream and let me just show you in case
this is maybe the first time you've seen one of my videos. It's not a powder it's
a cream and I think underneath this eye right now I don't know if Bill can
get a little close-up of it, but I think I'm just a little bit shiny there and
watch this to see that it just takes the shine right away, but the other thing...
it's not powder so it's not kind of building up and making you wrinkly.
If you are wondering about...hmm what are some of the other things that are new
in makeup....we're really really honored about this....amazon has chosen Awesome
Over 50 for a storefront and so where it is is....amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50
and I'm allowed to put links to
items like this, some of my favorite makeup items a lot of them I've just
discovered recently....some of my favorite styles and fashion we also...we
thought about gifts you know a lot of our things that we absolutely think are
awesome for pampering and all that sort of thing, food, kitchen items and we've
put the sections there so you might want to take a look at that. And I am required
by law to let you know that we do make a little bit of Commission. You don't pay a
penny more than what Amazon usually charges, but it is a wonderful way and we
really appreciate the support because we get a little bit of money at the end of
the month and it really helps us to continue doing these videos. So you know
who you are and let me know who you are too in the comments, because I want
to say thank you, thank you for supporting us and oh that's all I have
to say about number three. So number four is too much perfume. Hey I know you love
your perfume or your scent. It's it's fruity Heather, you know my husband loves
it, it's very fresh, yeah yeah you love it, but too much is just going to be too
much and I don't know if you've been to the theater lately but right on the
tickets for a theater or ballet they put down that they are a scent free environment
and that means don't wear any perfume and that also goes for your husband's
cologne as well. So I mean a little dab will do you that's that's fine, but if
well....I'll tell you a story. I went and bought Chanel number five perfume or o'de de
toilet, I not too sure what it was, but I thought I was Marilyn Monroe. You know
this was back in the in the 90s and I'm dousing on the Chanel number five and
thinking I'm all that and I remember one time I was carpooling with some people
and there were two people sitting on either side of me and one of the women
was brave enough to let me know that I was wearing too much perfume and
I was I'm actually glad she called me out on it, because too much is too much.
So number five is too much hairspray. Hey I know in the eighties of the 90s
big hair was where it was at and a lot of times like I used to put my hair
upside down and spray on the hairspray and I'd make these kind of phony things
jutting out like this and put on the hairspray and all that sort of thing and
if you're still doing that you're aging yourself, you know you really are. I'm
having a bad hair day, you know I went out in the rain and I've been trying to
fix it, but yeah but I mean it's it's natural you know it's not all stiff and
starchy and that sort of thing. And I think you know a smoother look is really
natural shiny look it's really what to go for these days. Now you probably have
seen me....I have naturally curly hair and I also did a video on how I keep it more
natural-looking. I keep the frizz away from it. I'm gonna put the link up there
for you because products really matter and the shampoo and the conditioner and
the anti frizz products are really really important, but if you're you know
teasing it all up here and upside down and you got that great big hair yeah
you're probably need to change your routine a little bit and people will
kind of notice like oh my gosh you look amazing and it's just cuz you're much
more natural. So there you go and of course these are just my opinions, but I
don't know maybe some of the ideas that I have here will help you get out of the
old century and into the new one which we've been into for quite some time now, but you know
the other thing I want to know....is there something that I missed? You know
maybe there's something that you've changed recently that you think is
really important to add to the comments and I'd love to hear them and you know
we're all sharing in the comments and
and that's wonderful cuz we are awesome over 50 community now. So somebody else
who's looking quite youthful these days is our cuteness factor, little Hurricane.
