Loved this topic. I’m sure you helped a lot of people. I remember asking my divorced Mother if she ever felt lonely. She answered…. “Hell no, I do whatever I want , spend my money the way I want, I enjoy my children , with nobody to answer to except God, why would I ever want to remarry, just to take care of man? No thanks!”. I laughed so hard at her response. I was in my 30’s And my mom was in her her 50’s at the time of that conversation . Well my Mom is now 93 years old never remarried and is still quite strong,healthy and happy .
I just left a 10 year relationship and first time on my own at 59 yrs old and loving it! I'm also a widow of 23 years and will never get remarried or live with another man just to pick up after him. I agree with your Mom. Lol❤
I just want to say that your putting in 60 hours or more a week does not go unnoticed. You are by far my favorite anti-aging go to lady on RU-vid!!! Bravo!💗
yes!! she always lists what makeup she's wearing, I so appreciate it.Many others do not,and I refuse to watch. Haha. I'm always recommending her to friends,family and total strangers.. ☺
I've been divorced for 7 years now and will be 40 soon. I still can't persuade myself to go into a relationship because I have been enjoying my "me" time so much after having given a lot to others!
I’m 35, recently divorced with three kids. It’s honestly a relief to no longer be married to a spouse that added to our plate instead of being a helpmate as we promised each other. I felt I was always the one being “flexible” as he called it. I actually have less anxiety and more time for myself when he actually picks up the kids. My kids are young and it was not worth staying for the kids. The kids seem happier that I’m not as stressed.
While watching this video, I realized that it had been 9 years since my husband and I have gone out separate ways. I have gone on 2 dates since then and have not dated anyone since then. I can’t believe it. Somethings I wish I had a partner in crime, but I think I’m better off doing my own thing. ❤️
Please do not cut your hair, it’s absolutely gorgeous!!! Anyone that has something negative to say that’s only because they’re reflecting their own insecurities. It’s pure jealousy - please don’t listen. I don’t understand why can’t people just be happy for others and complement them instead of always projecting?!!
Great advice Angie. I became a widow one year ago and so much of what you said about divorce applies to losing your spouse. For me, besides all that you mentioned I would add having a strong close relationship with God was key to coping, healing, and moving forward. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you”. John 4:8.
I totally agree with just focusing on being yourself. I’m near the end of a year long divorce process after a 30 year marriage and do not plan to ever date again. I’m happy doing what I want. I have 4 great kids and other family. I don’t need to take care of another man. Much love.
I said the same thing, but after being separated/divorced for 14 years, I did remarry to the best man ever! My point, never say never, lol, it’s like you bring on the never
I’m 37 and went through an ugly divorce during covid too. Miserable times and lost a lot of hair along the way which haven’t grown back so I felt lonely and ugly. But since then I started to focus on myself. I completely feel what you’re saying at the end and at a similar place. I love being single and love spending my time with my son and my dog. Way more fulfilling than being with a toxic man child.
Sitting here crying about everything you said about divorce and doing for others! I’m in the beginning stages of ending a 30 yr marriage and your so inspiring! Thank you!
@@lisabeatty7778 you will get there 🤗 one step at a time. There will be dips now and again but they will get less and less and hopefully you’ll start to feel you’re hitting your stride. It’s taken me 2.5years on from a 30yr marriage, I still feel the loss and I think I always will, but I’m now starting to be very grateful for where I’m at and loving only suiting myself and my dogs 🙂. Dating can wait, I’m in no rush to be looking after anyone, I want to be looked after next!
Oh Angie, you have really touched my heart. This posted on my 70th birthday, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your honesty, humility and humor. You are not at all egotistical and shallow like so many other "influencers" on YT and I really enjoy your videos.
Can I just say, without asking for anything information or otherwise, that I really APPRECIATE YOU. All that you put into these video's - the work the time and effort, the knowledge. Wow. I am blown away. Your generous heart , your smile and spirit, it's amazing Angie . Truly. Shine on ! Much love and gratitude to you from a lucky and grateful follower.
Angie, I'm 37 and sometimes I feel like you're the role model woman I am missing in my life. Thank you for sharing everything you do with us and being who you are. You are loved and appreciated from afar ❤️
@@Olivia-jy9jf Yet you're here to hear Angie's tips. Why? Some youth without proper dental advice or even parents from a young age do require dental hygienic advice. There are so many more worthy matters to direct criticism towards. 😔
@@pjmiller8632 Don't but in when you're not in the conversation. I worked in a dental office for over 20 years and we went to all elementary schools and gave toothbrushes and paste and taught kids how to brush. What have you done?
@@Olivia-jy9jf What are you so angry about? Don't publicly post a criticism here to us all if you don't want anyone to counter it. To answer your question - I have worked in an elementary school for the last 23 years and spent up to 12 hours of my day dedicated to it, I support starving families in 3rd world countries and several organizations caring for abused animals. Thanks for asking Samy! 😊 Side note - sadly, non- American children do not all receive dental hygiene advice in elementary schools.
One of the more striking things about your house vlogs is how *at peace* you seem. You are embracing this new (and I'm sure a little scary given how long you were married) time in your life and you're doing so with SO MUCH GRACE. I'm not divorced (or married for that matter lol!) but I'm sure you're an inspiration for women going through separation and divorce to know that there is life after a big phase of your life ends. I think this is such an important message you are showing to young women, especially, because it's so easy for the world to tell us that our value is based on the man we're coupled with. This is so much more than just a skincare and makeup channel.
I’m almost 57 and have been single for 4 years and cannot imagine giving up my independence and freedom for a man. And if I did opt to be in a relationship, it would have to be on my terms-I love living alone.
Recently divorced I signed up for Match just to see what is out there. Nothing about who I have seen makes me want to open my profile. I enjoy hitting that X. I feel good about living alone and when I think of a relationship I think a guy will want time and attention. I also don’t want to be judged in any way. My ex husband was full of criticism.
💕 This is probably one of the absolute BEST videos you have ever done! Thank you for being so vulnerable and transparent, I can't imagine how many women will be encouraged - thank you Angie ❤️❤️❤️
I wish everyone was so open and honest. I left my long-term partner 15 years ago and loved the first 2 years on my own. Suddenly I had anxiety attacks, my GP said it was a form of PTSD and arranged some counselling. Thankfully it was a short-lived thing and I am still loving my single life. I have, dated on and off, and hope to do some more!, but at 68 I can't see a man making me want to give up my freedom. It might sound a bit selfish but I think I'm worth it. I hope you continue to have a happy and fulfilled life x
I'm so happy you got help and are happy & satisfied with your life! It's not selfish at all to like being alone. I feel if someone adds to my life then I'll make room for them but there's no room for anyone that detracts from my happiness!
Amen! So many claim they are completely open, truthful, honest, open books and want to share everything with other women and ask that their audience share all their latest tips and tricks. (While feverishly editing and sifting hundreds/ thousands of pics, streams and ducking behind bushes any time their true self shows. Simply, Fake News for the gullible.) Angie is a wealth of info and the real deal. Hoping she remains genuine and humble when she rises above the Fake News.
With the encouragement of my daughter, my husband & I separated after 31 years of marriage. We are both much happier & realize we make better friends than spouses. At 66, it is a bit daunting but I also like living alone! So many women have told me they would do the same but don’t want to give up their home & lifestyle…. Or their comfort zone! Happiness is more important than a big house. Not super interested in dating yet but I trust a special person will come along when I least expect it. Thanks for sharing your positive attitude, Angie!
I am just divorced too. I’m 53 and just love life and not in any hurry to start any other relationship. You are such an amazing role model and Inspiration. 💗
Angie, you are my divorce hero! Thanks for sharing that. Five years post-divorce and I'm just now beginning to think that if something were to happen organically I would be open to it. I'm happy to have my own quiet place where I can take care of myself and I'm glad to see most people are supportive and feel similarly.
This was a great video. I completely understood when you mentioned about how we as women, mothers and wives have given so much of ourselves to raise a family keep a home and run a business. I was married for 28 years. I recently went through a divorce in the past few years, sold my big home that I raised all 3 of my sons and a lifetime of memories and picked up and moved to a new state. I went through that mourning period and it isn't easy. I left behind all my neighbors that I lived so closely together with and we all had our children around the same time. I packed up and picked up and went down to Florida. My 2 youngest sons came along with me, but now they are starting to look for a place of their own.. It is all going to be okay and I know that because I like myself and I can rely on myself. I am not saying I don't have my cry every now and again because I do. Keeping yourself busy is a plus and being okay with yourself is another huge plus. I have a girlfriend that is newly retired and she is also divorced an let me tell you she has turned into this serial dater that I honestly don't think she is happy. She just doesn't know how to be alone. I think that being divorced and being able to adjust to this new life we have is learning how to just be our own person again. I commend you on your attitude and I don't think you are being selfish at all. We have given most of our adult lives doing and being there for everyone else. This is a time to reconnect with our own identity. My oldest son still lives on Long Island and I recently went back and spent the last 5 weeks there being with my granddaughter. I visited old friends, and family and it was really nice, but I will be honest I was very excited to get back to my nice quiet life down in Florida. Keep doing you Angie you are doing a great job!
Thank you Angie for being someone I can look up to! I’m 41 and you’ve taught me so much about taking care of my skin. I now use tretinoin and vitamin c and use sunscreen every single day, including on my neck and chest and hands. I really look up to you for how you educate yourself about the science of skincare and finding out what and how products work or not. And I admire how well you handle life changes like your divorce and moving. You’re really someone I look up to. Thank you for all you do!!!
So great to hear from a woman who is happy to just be herself and who takes the time to enjoy being on her own. Fantastic! it will give courage to others to do the same. You rock, Angie! xx
It is absolutely wonderful that you know that you don't need a man. Not that men are bad! However, when a woman is married, she really does have to consider that man. I, too, have spent my whole married life (37 years) taking care of my husband and children. My children are out of the house and really, I am tired. And glad (can I say that?) that I am not taking care of them anymore! My husband and I are happily married and that is about all I want to deal with right now.
"I am enough by myself", probably the most important statement made in the video. Whatever that might mean to each individual, it is important to know what it is in life that gives you that feeling of fullness and keeps you from being on an endless search for self validation outside of yourself. Once we have figured that out, the rest of the world, and the society we are a part of, become an enhancement and we can freely enjoy all they have to offer and be a productive part of that cycle we call life. Good luck Angie. This is a new journey and I wish you well.
I cannot agree more and was going to comment but you’ve said it so eloquently I don’t need to add anything-this is what I hope for all women!! Good luck Angie but it sounds like you don’t need it-you’re already in the right frame of mind and ready for your new adventure!
Yes! I wish more divorced women would realize its perfectly fine to be alone and be happy! Its been an eye opening experience after my divorce and I'm a better person for learning to do things by myself and for myself. Love you and all your content, I'm so glad I found your channel last year! I'm 51 and my skin is better now than it was 10 years ago thanks to you!
Angie, this was such a GREAT video!!! I'm a little late in seeing and so glad I took the time today. After a 28 year marriage and divorce 9 years, I'm in the exact same place - don't need a man in my life! So happy for you that you've found this amazing point in your life!!!
You are such a beautiful and strong woman. I just lost my mother 10 days ago and look forward to your videos…I get such strength from you. Thank you for all you do. You’re awesome ❤️😘
Hi Judi. I'm so very sorry for your deep loss. Losing one's Mom is incredibly difficult, & the grieving process is very layered. It's also a very individual process. You're in my thoughts & prayers. You'll get through it...one day at a time. 🙏💞 I lost my Mom too. She passed away on Christmas, it will be 21 yrs, this year. Her name was Judy too... but with the y, instead of the i.
Confession time, I kept wondering over the last years if you were going to trim your hair short because “society says you can’t have long hair after such&/such age.” I think your long hair is stunning, and it’s even more impressive to me knowing you do almost all the maintenance of it yourself; but I knew there were comments etc about it and I wondered if & when you would address this or cave in & cut the hair. I’m so glad that you didn’t cave to the pressure and I love your response to these comments. I agree that everyone should do what makes them happy. It’s 2021, can’t we say F off to those stereotypes about what we have to do with our bodies & when? I want to be wearing blue eye shadow when I’m 90 years old and I don’t want anyone to say boo about it. 😅
Wow. I am floored with your sincerity, transparency, and thoroughness. Felt like I was just sitting and having a chat with a wonderful friend…and loved every second of it. You are beautiful inside and out, and I love being part of this community. Sending you and all your followers much love and wishing you all good health and happiness❣️
Glad you mentioned negative comments on RU-vid (and other platforms). It’s deeply ingrained in some people these days that it’s okay to be a (hidden) keyboard warrior. I don’t know how to change it but I’m glad people are starting to call it out.
Angie and everybody❤️ Someone once told me “ if you don’t know them personally? Don’t take it personally “. Great advice I think when it comes to negative comments ☺️ Thanks for all the great content lovely lady x
I love this video. All the questions and tips were wonderful BUT the “pep talk” was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. You CAN be a lifesaver to some of us….ME! Thank you
@@AngieHotandFlashy yes! I am trying and I BELIEVE I CAN do it! Thank you! So grateful for what you do, how you do it and most of all, how you live it! ❤️
This hour went so fast! I feel like I was chatting with a good friend. So happy for all of your changes and so thankful for how forthcoming you always are!
I am a widow and live alone…you are great company and a great source of information. Thank you so much. You are beautiful outside and in your inner being. Blessing!
I so appreciate you Angie. I'm 41 single and childless and I don't see the point of having a boyfriend or husband if I'm not going to have any kids. I'm so happy to see another woman who does not subscribe to the idea that we can't be whole without a male partner.
Angie, I said it recently, but I’ll say it again - I am so envious of your new life. I am so unhappily married, but it’s (at least currently) easier to stay with the status quo, for many reasons. I have three kids, with the youngest in 10th grade, about to turn 16 (thank god he’ll be able to drive himself wherever in the hell he wants to go!). The older two are still living at home. We have a large house (and are so fortunate to have good incomes) so there’s been no motivation to scoot them out the door. They both have jobs and keep mainly to themselves. I live in a boarding house essentially. It’s a great life by ALL measures, except the dead marital relationship. Lots of ignoring and quiet. It’s embarrassing that I am content living in this nightmare. So I live vicariously through you because it is my dream to live alone and WITHOUT a man. Dating?! Why on earth would I ever bother?! I just want my house to be mine again. Wow. I’ll stop now.
Hi, I was in your shoes 7 years ago. I recommend getting your divorce attorney lined up now and starting to keep copies of all financial documents coming through the house. That way when you are ready to file, you will feel completely prepared and confident. That is how I did it and I literally just got my divorce finalized 2 weeks ago. I am loving living alone. It is such a growth experience. Don’t ever share with your husband that you are preparing, Even if you are super angry and fighting with him. This is the best advise. Good luck.
@@tishamonroe7418 HI, I asked one wealthy friend and they recommended the best attorney n the area. My attorney was a killer but he respected my need not to add more drama to my life and do a court battle. Just having the big gun on your side was enough to make my husband cooperate. :) It gives you peace of mind knowing that you have a plan and ultimately will move on in your life and be happy. But getting started now with copying documents is very important. Give them to a family member you can trust. Don’t keep them in the house. Something else I did was get a small storage unit and gradually move out all my family photos and videos into it. These were my most prized irreplaceable possessions and I knew he would try to take them from me, Have a plan. Be prepared. It is empowering. 👍
Do it when you are ready, read the book - Feel the Fear and do it anyway! … living in a dead marriage makes you numb inside… it’s totally the best thing for yourself to step away from safe shore. ❤️🌹💐
Angie, I think it takes a lot of courage and strength to go through a divorce, still do your RU-vid videos and move from the home you've lived in for 25 years while still being upbeat and maintaining a positive attitude. I wanted to say thank you. You have been an inspiration in my life and I always look forward to your videos.
Thanks so much Angie. I echo what’s been written here already about how lovely and inspiring you are. I’m 8 months post-divorce after a 25 year marriage and it’s been a struggle. My ex turned into someone I didn’t recognize after our initially amicable split. 2 years of pain and ugliness destroyed my confidence…my spirit really…and I’m still trying to climb my way out to find the strong, light the world on fire person I used to be. Thanks for the pep talk and for giving me hope that there is happiness and joy on the other side of this. ❤️
Hi, Christine! I read your comment and I could have written it, myself. I am about a year, post-divorce after a 25 year marriage. We have six kids, most are adults, now (ages 19, 21, 23, 25), and our younger two are 12 and 14. I voluntarily gave my ex-husband custody of our 14-year old son, because he said he wanted to live with his father. That about killed me, because I will not see him more than a few times a year (my ex moved from Pennsylvania to Florida). I am raising our youngest, a daughter who is 12. My ex is a narcissist and destroyed my spirit. I am wondering how I will ever trust, again. I just wanted to say you're not alone. I, too, have been encouraged and inspired by Angie. I am thankful for any woman who is brave enough to share her story. Hang in there......we will be okay! Peace to you and Happy Thanksgiving!
I resonate with what you said about your confidence and spirit was destroyed. Before entering into a relationship about 2 years ago my confidence was so high. I was fun and full of life! My ex just drained me. I'm in the process of rebuilding as well.
Hi Angie, this video was just what I needed! My husband died the day before our 30th wedding anniversary on 20 December 2020. I find myself at 68, a little lost. Aches and pains are engulfing me and I don’t know why. I’ve been told that stress can make these things happen. I will definitely consult my doctor about HRT after listening to what can happen after menopause. You are a mine of information and I’m so glad I found your channel all those years ago 😊 and now I’m going to act on the info you give. By the way, I have long hair the same length as yours and I love it! 👋🏻🇬🇧x
I love how open and transparent you are. You give such consistent and thoughtful anti-aging reviews…and I hear that same level of care, class and conscientiousness in your responses to peoples questions. I got a lot out of your information on menopause and will definitely be looking up NAMS, as well as Dr. Barbie Taylor and the Hormone Health Doc. 🙏🏻 I LOVED your response to being asked if you were dating. You are an inspiration on so many levels. Thanks for sharing so much of your life and helping so many of us in the process. ❤️
Hi Angie, a couple of years ago looking for tutorials on how to makeup eyebrows I found you, and although I am subscribed to 3 or 4 other beauty channels since then, I have to confess that yours is the one I follow more regularly. I really like the way you approach the different topics, your work on compiling variety information, your naturalness, and of course your spirit. Many of the products that I have incorporated into my beauty routines have been thanks to your advice, and they are doing their job!!! I have to tell you that you are not only my beauty guru, you have also become one of the mentors that have inspired me to face with positivity and faith in myself different changes in my life, coincidentally these last 2 years. So thank you very much for your work, I hope everything continues to go very well for you after the significant changes you have have gone through lately. And also hope you will continue for many more years offering us your comments, reviews and some recipes too!!! Warmest regards from Madrid - Spain
I recently heard an interesting statistic on the radio...something about most of the divorces around middle age are initiated by the woman. Most of those decided after kids are out of the house that they just don't either like their hubby or don't want to have to take care of someone else. I thought that was interesting and made sense. Sounds like you are happy, doing fantastic and enjoying your life! BTW your hair looks so pretty!
WOW.... that sounds a little selfish. Women just decide they no longer "like" their spouse or don't want to be bothered taking care of them. That is what marriage is all about, if that's not want you want than don't get married. Women have become very selfish.
It’s not about being selfish, it’s purely hormones. It’s hormones that control our emotions and our need to care for our families. Menopause wreaks havoc on our emotions, bodies and brains. It’s very hard to explain if you haven’t been through it.
Love this video! 💗 I know it was longer but honestly I wanted more :-) I'm in my 50s and have benefited so much from your channel. Even the comments section feels like a sisterhood - helps to know I'm not alone in my journey. Thankful to have found you!
Ha...who says no one has watched all 900 videos!! Don't be so sure, Angie!! Thank you so much for this candid video and all your research. So many times I could have been sucked in by marketing, etc. Then I come back to your videos and follow science. Good luck and God Bless in your new home and new life. Only good is around the corner for you!!
You sound GREAT! I've been divorced for 20yrs. While it was devastating, it was a blessing in disguise. it took a while for me to really see that, but now I love my life. Stay strong Babe!
Age 54 and going through divorce #3 over here, UGH... Thanks so much for the words of encouragement and hope, it's always so good to know I'm not alone :)
The hardest part of my divorce & all that was realizing that I was holding onto my dreams of what my family would look like and how we would be. The first thing that made me realize that was that I wanted my (then) almost grown kids to be my small kids again! Idk if I can explain it right in this text, but it’s as if I mourned my ex-husband so much. Which I now understand I will always have a love of sorts for him but I wasn’t mourning losing him so much as I was mourning the loss of my little family, little babies even though my kids were nearly grown already! But he had been witness to my life for many years! So if I let him go, I was destroying my sweet little family memories! Part of which was true, but I had to realize they weren’t ever going to be those same little cherub-faced, sweet babies either way. That’s part of having to deal with the “empty nest” which sucks so bad! Then things start happening like a whirlwind of kids graduations, weddings, & having babies all the while you feel so overwhelmed & don’t remember ever really planning this part of the kids lives so it seems just impossible to be doing it alone! But somehow, through the grace of God, you do make it. 🎶 “1 day at a time, Sweet Jesus” 🎶
Thank you, Angie! You have helped me so much with choosing anti-aging skincare. I am also divorced and am a mom of 2 kids (I’m 57). I appreciate all the work you put into your channel for all of us. You’re knowledgeable and personable and I so enjoy your videos. The skincare products are working well for me. I’ve also had a tremendous amount of sun exposure and needed you to help me! I appreciate everything you do 😊
Thank you for sharing Angie, and for being vulnerable with your experienced with being divorced in your 50’s. You’re right, its an epidemic and super tough to go through. I think there are so many women who are unhappy but fearful of making that big change to let go and move forward seeking to find fulfillment and happiness. I think it’s important to be so honest with others’ as they consider doing the same, so thank you for your honesty and encouragement
Love when you shared we need to be heard for menopause! And men with ED have pills but nothing for women. So true. Let’s be heard. My OB said it’s just part of life. Offered ZERO to me. I know I deserve better, so thanks for inspiring me!
Angie, thank you for such a soulful, down to earth Q&A. I’m so happy for you. I’m also single again and really enjoying discovering me. When you said “I’m enough for me”; I loved it. We lose ourselves sometimes and when we find ourselves it is so liberating. Peace and blessings. Also, love the walking on eggshells palette by WNW.
It’s like listening to a girlfriend( always great insight and advice, especially that straw trick lol). You have a beautiful gift and community here. Thank you Angie ❤️
Your comments about being perfectly content "doing yourself" now: 100% on-point. Any viewers who found those comments "selfish" and cannot wrap their minds around focusing on themselves when the opportunity/time in life arises, would benefit by a mindfulness practice to figure out why that's so uncomfortable, and possibly therapy. Life is not exclusively about doing for others, to the exclusion of one's self. Those who exclusively care-give, to the exclusion of developing their unique interests and taking good care of the one body, mind, and spirit they were born with, are depriving the rest of the world of part of their light that was meant to be shared.
I loved this video especially the end! I was in a long relationship in my mid 20’s to my mid 30’s. We never married and I ended it. I knew if we got married we would divorce. Rocky relationship. I was by myself for 5 years. I really needed that time for me. To get to know myself again and find my happiness. I found it and then out of left field I met my soulmate. I wasn’t looking at all. We married when I was 41 and he was 43. We have been married 14 years and it has been bliss. I am so happy I gave myself those 5 years to be by myself and love myself. Good luck to you Angie. I wish you so much happiness and peace. ❤️
"Being enough by myself" now that speaks to me. Thanks for being you and being happy with who you are and where you are in time and space. Keep up the good work!!
Great video, Angie! I'm a 71YO woman who got divorced two years ago so I feel all that you said! Enjoy your beautiful life and stay out of those comfort zones. Thank you for all the lovely information!!
I'm 46. I've been watching you for years now, and I thoroughly appreciate you helping me to navigate and upkeep life in skincare, "the change", and the advice you gave for making yourself happy and fulfilled. As always, you are radiant.
I was able to get off my anti depressants once HRT thanks to you!' Love your videos. I'm so glad you are happy! We should have a divorced women's group for our 50's!
Great video. Re: Menopause listen to Angie. I'm 71 and had to have a hysterectomy at 35. The doctor because of my female family history of breast cancer told me not to take estrogen. So since I was that age I took nothing to help me. Now at 71 I have osteoporosis, all my female areas inside have thinning walls which makes things very painful & uncomfortable. I wish there were menopause specialist back then, so it makes me sad that nothing was available for me and mad at myself for just listening to the male doctor. Dating I was hoping you would say I just want to take time for myself and I don't need a man. Amen girlfriend. I have been married a few times with this last one 36 years. He will sometimes say oh if something happens to me you'll date again and I say No (profanity)way I'm done with men. So enjoy your life, do what you want when you want & if you want to date then date, but at the end of whatever send him back to his own house & maybe see you next weekend. Ha Ha
Hi, Consider reading Suzanne Summers recent book. Also in the book are resources to every advanced specialist imaginable. Bio-identical hormones might be an option for you. Also Look into researching Vit-K2. This vitamin builds up bones everywhere in the body, & drives the natural calcium from foods into our bones. One of the worst advice many Dr.'s give women is to take calcium supplements. This is because firstly, most are poor quality made from limestone & rocks if you can believe it! And secondly, the calcium builds up in our arteries, (never even getting into the bones where it's needed), and this build up over time can cause strokes & heart attacks! Women have been given the short end of the stick for Way Too Long! Main Stream Allopathic Medicine has Never come through for menopausal women & it's damn time we Demand better!
If you and your doctor aren’t comfortable with you starting hrt after so many years you can still take vaginal estrogen which won’t travel through your body.
Just to footstomp your discussion on menopause -- we really need to be our own best advocates. Into menopause, I had a long visit with my family practitioner, who seemed to think that lubricants were going to suffice. A good hour into my visit (he stepped out of the room a few times, I think, to fact check me, LOL), I had a prescription for the supplementation that I'd advocated to receive and that has helped in ways lubricants (or antidepressants!?!) never did or could. Our generation got caught up in an evolving science pendulum swing -- our moms getting hormones at high strength by rule; our generation being told to tough it out. It really isn't one rule for all women (some with a history of breast cancer may wish to handle aging differently) -- we have to help our doctors know our circumstances to get the right regimen for each of us. Thank you for continuing to beat the drum!
Hi Angie. I absolutely loved your video! First, I had no idea you were in my age range! I am 63 and totally thought you were like maybe 51! You look just fabulous and your skin is amazing! Wow! Now I think I have some work to do! LOL! I also listened with interest to you talking about your personal life toward the end of the video. Just like everything you do in your life Angie, you are conquering this new challenge with excellence. Congratulations on taking some much-needed me time. You are so right! We spent the first part of our lives doing everything for everyone else. Now you totally deserve to make Angie happy. I know you will.💝🎉🎂🐇🎄🎂🎂💝
In my opinion, I think it’s healthy that you didn’t jump right into another relationship. I love your channel, and I think you’re a strong, kind and beautiful person. I wish you all good things in your new life. 💗🙏🤗
Thanks so much for the NAMS information and link. I've just completed 2 years of divorce activities, selling a home and purchasing a new one. I applaud your attitude and strategies for dealing w/ all of your changes. Hope you are able to kick back a bit and enjoy your new home and spend more time w/ family.
Angie, I've been watching you for years now and I just have to say THANK YOU for the thorough research and intelligent feedback on beauty products. We are truly blessed to have you here. xoxo
I couldn't agree more regarding sleeping on your back. Every morning I had a deep wrinkle next to my right eye and after your video realized it was from sleeping on my right side. I got the wedge and just love it! Thank you so very much for touching on every subject imaginable! I am so thankful I found you.
I'm with you! I am still a small RU-vid channel and rarely get bad comments, but when I do, I can't believe someone would take the time to write something mean! I see you are almost at 1 million subscribers, go Angie go!!! Love your channel and this little update was a fun video!
Angie, you are an inspiration to so many women, including me. Your positivity is helping me deal with a husband who is declining due to age and illness. Thank you!!! I loved your video! You would make a fabulous life coach.
“Being enough by myself.” Love that. Good for you! I’ve been married for almost 42 years but I know if something happened to my husband I’d be enough by myself.
About the lip wrinkles- I have a Light Stim red light device that I bought first but then invested in the Omnilux. So now I use the Light Stim around my mouth- I put it over my lips. When I do this consistently I can see a definite improvement and my lips actually look plumper as well. But when I stop, I do notice they come back. But I do love the results when I do it daily. I do it for 3 beeps.
Thank you for speaking about your divorce. I’m 40 and going through it now with 2 kids. It’s been up and down and as much as I would love to just do things for myself, I feel like I can’t yet, not until the kids are out of the house. Still, in the back of my mind I think the kids will be fine no matter what but…it’s easier said than done.
I am 73 and living in Puerto Rico since 1974..Strong sun always. Happy for your new life. I am doing some life changing things also.. Stay strong, safe , well and happy. Being me is important.
The reason I started using Retin A was because I saw your before and after pictures. I was blown away. I’ve been watching ever since. I love your product testing. I just bought the Lancôme concealer you talked about! It’s great. By the way, I have had people notice that my skin looks so much better! I’m giving the credit to Retin A. So, thank you! Please keep the great videos coming!
Same! I’ve been basically following Angi’s morning and evening routines for about 4 years now. Some of it is luck/good genes but I credit this great advice for the fact that people have been literally shocked when I share my age (60). Love having someone in my age range on here!
You help me so much, you have no idea! I adopted your skincare routine (Vit C in the morning, Tretinoin in the evening) since 2019, and my formal acneic skin with acne scars looks 10 times better than before! Now I am a kind of beauty guru for my friends, trying to promote this routine and mentioning you every time! And every time I am feeling down and ugly and old ( I am 48), I visualize you and your sunny face and I think of your good vibe and stamina to do so many amazing things and I say to myself - you cand do it! I don't want to become cheesy, but you really helped me a lot with my beauty and mental health and I am so grateful for you and I love you so much! Thank you!
At some point a woman looks back to a lifetime of putting herself on hold to live around the number 1 in the house. The one who calls the shots. Who gives the looks. And there are men who don't want someone insightful whose life is not about placating them. Ultimately it comes down to how is your basic conversation going. Even in a simpleclittle conversation he doesn't put out, doesn't try to make you feel good. When that's gone you hang on, for hope, fir thd kids maybe. And one day it is one more misstep and everything goes to phaakit.
Got my Kenzzi for Christmas 2020. LOVE IT! Followed the instructions, so easy since I can stream a show while using the device. I now use my Kenzzi once a month and no hair on my legs. So great for the environment! THANK YOU for the recommendation.
