This channel is all about the journey that is 'getting older'. We can embrace it with confidence, grace....and humor! Whatever path you are taking on YOUR aging journey, I am glad you ended up here!
I have been in the beauty industry since 1983 (Licensed Cosmetologist/Stylist/Makeup Artist/Esthetician). My RU-vid channel has evolved to represent what is our aging journey. Each of us is experiencing the aging process a bit differently...yet, we can support each other, share our beauty tips and tricks, health finds, and anything that helps us feel good, and happy whilst we travel down the aging road. Let's hold each other's hands as we age with grace, confidence and humor!
I hope you will join me on my RU-vid journey...Let's Get Glowing!
It always looks so scary when you start off. If I saw this on myself, I'd think... oh man, I blew it. But you just keep going, softening and blending and magic happens! I guess I need to practice practice practice. Then I'll be ready for my reunion AND my upcoming cruise!!!❤🎉
These wigs are made in foreign countries and we don't know what they are made of nor how they are processed and we don't know what chemicals are used . Ijs
My problem is the hair fibers . I bought a pretty wig but the fibers that touch my face , around my ears and my neck I can't stand it but the wig is beautiful . I even washed it in Downey fabric softness but it still itches . I always wear a wig cap . For years I bought Paula Young wigs with no issues but in recent years they have changed tremendously . Maybe I need to buy human hair wigs I don't know but synthetic wigs are care free they are wash and wear . I need Help , Help , Help !!!!!!!
I love this wig! Just now, watching this video I finally found out what wig I have. I bought mine some months ago, used, on Ebay and there was no description but the size of the cap and boy ... It's amazing! It's the first wig I ever bought and it is very flattering. I'm not sure if my color is shaded wheat/sand/biscuit but I will for sure buy it again, new, shaded biscuit!! I'm a newbie ;-D
I have been diving into some of your older videos, because I’m just starting the whole wig/topper thing and don’t want to miss a thing. I did notice that in this video you use the normal size hair clips to keep your bio hair pinned back. I’ve had super long hair before I started rapidly losing it, so I did decide to shorten it a lot too, to make the process easier, but I just wasn’t brave enough to go any shorter than my longest topper…just bellow shoulder length. Anyway (I know, I tend to ramble…sorry ☺️), to get the back of my hair up and secure for wig wearing, I found some hair clips like yours only much larger…maybe 2-3 inches long, but they still hug together nicely so they don’t slide out or stick out. I haven’t gotten all caught up on your videos yet so I don’t know if you ever tried larger clips? 1 or 2 crisscross is all it takes depending on bio hair mass.
I retired as a teacher and went back to work as a teachers aid and my worst fear was not the students in middle school… But my hair loss so I started with a topper from Amazon and thanks to your beautiful beautiful review. I think I found my topper. I have followed you for a long time… You have no idea who I am, but I know your journey sending you love and hugs from the huge beautiful state of Ohio! Thank you for the review I'm sold!
Rachel with little layering, to make wavier and tapered ends -for the flattering shape, would be the all time most perfect wig. I like there is full hair.
I wore 2 washcloths under my first wigs b/c i couldn’t stand them touching my head (even with hair)...the itching, the discomfort was horrible. Toppers were my ultimate solution!
Jill, I enjoyed this video because you are so thorough in your explanations. I feel like you are sitting at my kitchen table. So informative. Thank you!
I am usually a Belle Tres hand tied kinda girl, but I love Verona. Do they carry a color that is closest to Brown Sugar Sweet Cream or Sunkissed Almond R?
So many of the skin issues women face within the last hundred years is mainly caused by the use of make up with all of the carcinogens, causing skin issues due to the extraction of petroleum products from crude oil in order to create lipsticks, foundations, mascara and other topical skin products that readily absorbed through the pores of human skin, causing a biosis affect within our micro biome located on top of our skin. Beautiful skin starts from the inside out. Fix the stomach & you'll fix the problems. Any of the problems we have with our skin is directly tied with our gut health 70% of our immune system is located inside of our gut. Without gut health, overall health cannot be achieved.. with all of the daily bombardments, we phase within any environment being out of our control. What we put on our body, and inside of it is in direct control of ourselves. Make up was originally designed for use for Hollywood actors and actresses, in order to obtain a certain appearance. Unless you're being paid by a film producer to act or look a certain way, then there is no need for the use of make up. Let's look at the keywords "make up" Why would otherwise not already be there in terms of aesthetics?. With our ever ageing population, turning to the use of skin care products, and make up as a solution does not treat the underlying root cause, but rather symptoms of an internal biosis from the foods we eat, and the environment we live in. Overtime they use of these products have proven to be more detrimental than anything with 95% of manufactured skin products, proving to be of no efficacy.. retinoids and retinol have been the only clinically proven type of serum to have any positive lasting beneficial effect on human skin. Everything else can be achieved with the use of mother natures essential oils derived from plants and seeds or beans in order to achieve healthy, looking radiant, natural skin. When was the last time you read a book or did some research on what our ancestors used to help with their skin care maintenance and found that lipstick and mascara and foundations were rarely available in a prepackaged ultra. Processed manufacturing, unnatural free form.? Please remember make up is called make up for a reason. It makes up for what one believes they do not desire.. true beauty comes from within and radiates outward. Give the body what it needs and what it wants, then just get out of the way and it will take care of itself. if we just did that, instead of treating the symptoms that we notice externally by correcting what we don't see internally many of man's problems or difficulties would be solved and cured. 100 years ago, they were not nearly as many people that were ill or sick and dying with no cure because we ate Whole Foods in whole form with natural free form, vitamins, and minerals and macro nutrients the way mother nature intended. we are simply elements of earth in disproportionate quantities. if we utilize this concept and just do the same things our ancestors did hundreds of years ago then we would be in a much better situation than we are today. How can one of the smartest countries in the world have some of the most debilitating diseases and unnecessary deaths that could've been avoided had doctors and scientists just connected the dots instead of specializing in one part of the human body, rather than realizing that what happens in one part of the body is typically in correlation with another part of the body. In medical school, doctors are simply taught to treat the symptoms through medication rather than getting to the root cause of why the symptoms are occurring. by treating our symptom with medication, it often causes a trickle effect or downward spiral. If you will have other symptoms being caused with the treatment of medication, otherwise known as a biosis within the human body. Our DNA or human map if you will still exist within our stem cells and our body will heal itself if we give it the right nutrients in right amounts. The biggest take away from all of this would be to take a good look at one's diet, and if they are consuming Whole Foods in their whole form rather than alter process on natural form foods? The food we eat, and the water we consume is considered code in which our body will repair the necessary damage to sell in order to remain healthy. There are 470 signalling peptides in human body that the nutrients we consume where to go and in what proportions in in order to best suit one's health with our internal organs being most importance and prioritized accordingly. I tend to equate make up using this phrase "you can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day it's a pig" what I'm trying to say is lipstick and make up is superficial and for that reason should be reserved for Hollywood portrays to be a glamorous, happy content lifestyle, which we know, couldn't be any further from the truth! Thank you 🙏

Question: because I just seen old videos where you were using IT STAYS and 2 sided glue tape. Now it’s the wig grip. I’m still going to order IT STAYS, but why did you choose a wig grip over a stocking/net stocking?
@@chaoscoordinator1832 as mentioned in the video, I do still do the It Stays in the front and tuck under my ponytail. That’s my preferred way. However, finding the thin, tapered wig grip has allowed me to use that as an alternative since it is much more comfortable over the regular wig grips. I rarely use wig tape these days unless the wig has a very short tapered nape. Bumps from a ponytail won’t look good. 😉
Adorable! Mine just arrived a couple of hours ago--in Shaded Capp. Love it love it love it! How does it wear? (Your review was 5 years ago. Do you still have Trend Alert? Still wearable?) Thanks!
It's almost like we want to combine the smaller cap of EW with the highlighted lace fronts of RW. THEN we'd have the perfect combo! Pretty style tho! I gotta go look through your makeup videos again because I just love that natural fresh look you've got going on there. I have a 50th!! (Yikes!!) reunion coming up in October. I need to figure out hair, makeup and clothes! 😂
Jill! I didn't get this notice until now! I'm so happy to see you. I've been wondering how you're doing. I adore this helper hair and you look absolutely stunning in it. Hello! The glasses! I love them so much!! Thanks, as always, for this wonderful vid. ❤
I just found you. I am 59 and have fibromyalgia and other things. I'm trying the carnivore diet. I saw one of your older videos and you were on keto and had just started Cymbalta. Where are you with all of this now ? Still doing keto? Or did it not help ? They swear this Carnivore cures almost everything. It's very hard and I'm almost suicidal for something to work. 😢🙏🏻
Great review Jill, as always. Just a quick question. Do you have a favorite brand of eye lash curler or do you think they are all pretty much the same? ❤❤
I don’t think was a fair review. You should have watched LG tutorials before you did your makeup. If you had watched the tutorial you would have known that your brush could be turned into a more firmer brush that you prefer. I thought it looked great on you and I can’t wait for my kit and foundation to come in.
Jill, I really enjoyed your video. That wig looks really good on you. You always look beautiful in them. I wear wigs and I really enjoy your reviews. I also love your glasses. I like the option of buying top glasses to change out the look. Did you order them thru the website? I noticed that you said you were going to pick them up. Im due to have an exam and I'm really interested in ordering from them. Did you send your prescription in to them or do they have a store near you? I'm sorry for all the questions. I've never ordered online but I noticed that seems to be the way alot of people are having their glasses made nowadays. ❤❤
Hi Sherry! I actually ordered the frames from the website. Just plain frames...not readers or with a prescription of any kind. I then took them with me to my actual eye doctor. They will use any frame....not just what they sell there. All eye doctors are like that I believe! I wanted to do it that way just incase adjustments needed to be made. I was leary of doing the whole thing online!
@JillLynnBeautyTherapy thank you Jill. So all of the additional frames you were switching out with did not have any lenses in them? Even the sunglass ones?
@@sherrydavis5599 The sun glass ones do ...but very thin so they just go over your "actual" glasses that have your prescription in them. The non sunglasses are just hollow and are magnatized to "stick" to the frames. ;). The sunglass ones are also magnetized. I hope I described that well? haha!
Thank goodness your video rolled into my feed. I’ve been needing something to cover my bald patches but I was looking at wigs and I live in the Deep South it’s hot and very humid and I know a wig wouldn’t work I didn’t know they made toppers lol I must live under the rock for sure . I don’t know where to start so if you have any suggestions I love to hear them . Thank you
