Amen, Sandra! I'm turning 65 soon. And I survived covid in a coma on a ventilator life support in ICU for a month, then hospital and physical rehab extra 2 months. The last thing that I am going to do, is go under the knife "to make myself look prettier, younger!" Laying there opened my eyes. I just wanted to come home. I'm grateful for being alive! I'm decluttering and realized how much I've fallen for the makeup videos I've watched the last three years. I care much more for taking care of my skin! And mind and body! My Faith. Thank you so much! It's good to hear it in your words this morning! God Bless.
What an ordeal you went through. I am so happy that you were able to get over Covid. It’s amazing when you go through a crisis like that how trivial other things in life seem to be. It helps us prioritize the things that are really important in our lives, thank you ever so much for sharing that I think it’s so great and will help so many here
So true... when I celebrated my 67 year birthday I felt now I am old... but the lady I celebrated with was older and I asked her how old, as she was so young and strong in all she did, she said 86... at that moment i helt I was just a kid.. re looking older ... wrinkles, creases... etc etc I am lucky for my now 82 years the aging is normally not so much... though on some days I look 20 years younger and some 20 years older... depending on the light, how much I slept and how much fresh air I got... and in summer the sun tan make me look very healthy... and with more vitality... Inside... same... the healthier the younger... Re relationship... yes if we find a man with whom we have deep understanding of life, eternity... and eternal life... little things like age, wrinkles and life's creases, how many Earth years you have lived this lifetime.. matter little... And for why I take care of myself with nice hair cut, lipstick color... clothes that I like... I do that for me, so I like what I see... and I have fun doing it. And as for weight and what food gives me good health.. I do that for me too.... and am getting good at it now I am retired... never had time to Cook good meals before ha ha ha My experience is its exciting to age... you learn so many things about life... new things.... its like pioneering into unknown territory, and I am the driver... etc etc etc I love aging....I become more me.... even at 82 i discover "i do not need to do that"... that is something that was right in another situation... other job.. other country... but not now.... .... or I realize... this is my mum's opinion... I actually dont need to do that... INEED TO DO SOMETHING ELSE NOW WHERE I AM IN LIFE... its like looking at a thing for the first time seeing this is round, but not a Ball but a cylinder ... like see other sides of that thing you have looked at all your life... and discovering more facets ...
I'm so happy you survived that horrible virus. My son also had it bad. Was hospitalized for 3 months and on a ventilator for 9 weeks. Rehab facility for one month. When they released him he could not even sit up in bed. He is now back to work full-time. A miracle really. So many people lost their lives and it makes my heart happy when I hear about someone else so sick also survived. Blessings to you!!
I am a woman, not a porcelain doll. I have fought many battles, and I have earned every grey hair and wrinkle I have. Thank you, Sandra, for your encouragement.
😊 wonderful to hear your positive advise on ageing. Ladies at the stores i visit help me with my bags and compliment me on my age. It always amazing to hear it....but last year I lost a little weight and it showed up in my face. Ladies don't loose weight it will age you first in the face. My orthro doc said I looked 40 when I told him my age was 82. Great compliment & I always smile inside because I only see my flaws. I am now 84. Right now I could use a companion but don't have anyone......may I will visit a senior center to find someone.
Am I the only one who is not concerned about aging 😄 I am blessed to wake up everyday.Aging is a privilege not everyone gets to experience it. I thank God everyday for not listening to my friend who is 82 and crazy about botox and procedures ,I only recognize her now by her voice and I am 72 she was trying for the last 15 years to convince me to go with her for some botox injections & I kept rejecting saying when the wrinkles are more visible I’ll go , 5 years ago after my son’s wedding I had an accident and broke my arm to make the story short I was never normal after this I saw tens of doctors and no one had a clue what was wrong with me Finally I saw a neurologist in NYU and after series of tests I found out I have Muscular Dystrophy & if botox was injected into my face I could have had very bad consequences as face paralyzes . I count my blessings everyday & take very good care of my skin . Thank you Sandra ❤️
How smart you were and it’s a great lesson for all of us. Don’t let outside force us to convince us that we should be doing some thing just because they are. I’m sorry you have a mess, but I am so happy that you decided to age naturally and gracefully. I hope you’re doing well. Thank you so much for being here and sharing with us today.
1000% I have a chronic disease and I can't wait to be an old lady because I feel like it might be when I feel the happiest in life when I feel the most settled in life.
I agree about aging gracefully. I’m 78 and go to Silver Sneakers 3 times each week…not to look svelte but to maintain my stability, help my posture and my heart. I use skin care products and make-up to enhance my appearance as well as dress appropriately (for my age) and challenge my mind by remaining active even learning a new skill occasionally. My advice is don’t tell yourself you’re too old to do something just keep moving forward…focus on others, develop a caring heart, pray for the needs of others then happiness and contentment will result.
You are so right. When I was in my 30's, 40's, 50's and even 60's I didn't think about aging. I didn't notice the changes in my body. Maybe because the changes were so subtle, or because I was so busy living, working, & traveling that I didn't notice. But in my 70's the changes seem to come faster. I do look at myself every day and say, "you don't look bad for a 75 yr old women. Thanks for hanging in there with me, girl." I laugh a lot joke and try to find humor in everything and appreciate my laugh lines. I also want to age naturally. Great topic Sandra.
I believe that our mental age is so much more important than our external appearance. My mom was a "card" until the day she passed at 98 years old. She was a lot younger at heart than most people I know. She wore red lipstick but never used makeup or eye makeup. She was beautiful to me. You are beautiful to me because of your sweet, sweet spirit! Keep it up girl! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and love with us. Hugs from Texas. PS....tell your daughter that a quiet confidence and a smile are the most beautiful things a woman can share.
I'm only 22 and I thank my parents everyday for educating me on those topics since the beggining because I feel so sad and upset at the same time whenever I see how society tells us to do anti-aging things more and more early as the years go by. Also it seems like the new argument for it is "but it is proved scientifically that you start aging at XX years old" yeah and ? It almost feels liks as if it was a bad thing when in reality it is just life. Of course, if you like to pamper yourself and want to age the best way possible you do you, but do it for yourself, not for society that pushes that ideal onto us all the time. I've seen some people realise that they were in denial about that, thinking they wore sunscreen religiously everyday because of skin cancer when in reality it was an excuse they had made up for themselves because they were upset to admit to themselves that society had that influence on them and made them scared of aging and wanted to prevent skin "imperfections" as much as possible (of course this is just an example). Aging is so beautiful to me, we wear the marks of our lives forever on ourselves, and there are so many beautiful people, young or "old". I really hope one day aging for women is going to be percieved the same way as for men, and in the meantime let's apply that adorable mirror advice. As always, thank you for your wise loving words and have a great week !!
I have mixed feelings about this personally due health issues which I’m working to overcome. As for women as half (or more) of the world’s population, I wish your message would be shouted from the rooftops! I wish the cosmetics industry would indeed hear your words and take it to heart 💜. The world challenges most of us and character & resilience will carry us farther than an eye shadow palette, lipstick 💄 and superficial interventions. I think for older women in the workforce, aging, such as menopausal changes happen right in front of male colleagues. Who wants to have a hot flash in the middle of a key presentation? No one promised us a rose garden but real roses do have thorns; it’s part of real life… thank you, Sandra, for your wise, kind words! ❤
I know what you’re saying. My daughter and I had that conversation this morning over coffee. In a certain social way smart phones have ruined our lives.
Dear Sandra, You have been teaching us self- acceptance. With the teaching and tools that you have been giving us I am actually starting to enjoy getting older. At 57 the process has become somewhat easier and my ability to accept me for how GOD created me has made me look forward to be coming a Golden girl!! Thanks Sandra ❤️
sharon, it gets better, cant explain it, but you feel freer, care less what people think, do what appeals to you, and deep inside you know you can handle anything that comes your way, enjoy the experience
You're absolutely right. It's what we are not what we look like that counts. There's a lot of ageism here in the UK. I'm 74 now but I noticed the change in attitude towards me in the workplace once I reached my 50s. Beauty comes from within and shines a light for all to see. Anyone who can't see beyond our wrinkles isn't worth bothering about.😄 Keep you light shining Sandra and thank youxxx
I sadly have to agree with you. I have heard that ageism is still in the workplace. And I agree with you about not paying attention to those who are obsessed with our age.
Thank you Sandra, I too did not feel pressure when it came to aging through the years. I am 69 and all my life I would remember people saying to me, you look like your mother. With each passing year my mother grew more beautiful and so I too knew I would too. My mother left this earth at the age of 85, rheumotid arthritis and all, her bright blue sparkling eyes, her beautiful white full head of hair and her wonderful laugh and smile that light up my life. Yes, my mother did grow old naturally and so am I.
Dear Sandra, if I can manage to get older with as much grace and dignity as you have displayed I will be happy. Wisdom is key and will deliver us to the best possible life . Thank you my dear friend for all that you share. With much Love, Louise.
What a wonderful message! I completely agree with you. I’m 59 and a few years ago, I was worried about aging like your daughter. But with my faith in God, I know that every day I’m alive is a blessing. Plus I have the best role model. My mother is 88 years old and she’s never had any procedures. She takes care of her skin (including a daily sunscreen), continues to move her body, eats mostly healthy foods and dresses well. She too has great faith and always has a positive attitude. Thank you for this powerful video! God bless❤
I am 71. One day I was feeling down. The gray hair wrinkles. My husband looked at me and said every age has it's beauty. That made me look forward to all the beauty to come.
Have I told you lately that I love you!!! You’re such an inspiration to me! I’m turning 60 on Friday and I’m so fine with it! Like you said, I take care of myself for me, for physical and mental health. And I Thank God everyday to be here to enjoy the life & family around me! You’re beautiful inside and out Sandra! ❤️
Thank you for always being encouraging. I am so glad I finally value myself as I am. It took getting old to achieve that. I realize my outer shell doesn't look like it once did, and that is okay by me. I count my wrinkles and gray hair, and even my aches and pains as a badge of honor for a life lived the best I could live it. Some good days, some not so good. But, every day lived the best I could on that day at that time. I have to hope my spirit shines through for those who take the time to know me. I am no sissy; I get up, get dressed, and am determined to be as happy or content as possible with what God puts before me each day. To do the good I can is all I can do. I can not be less even though I have to put more effort in these days. I know I am blessed. Sandra, I think you are such an inspiration to me and so, so many others of all ages. I love you as if I know you. May God bless you today. And, yes, I pray for peace in people's hearts and peace in this world. 😊💗🙏
Fran I genuinely appreciate your comment today and sharing your feelings and how you are dealing with aging. I love your positivity and you have such a spirit that comes through in your words. Thank you again we all appreciate it.
Well, at 75 I could be concerned about my looks? But, why? These are the days to relax and dive into our inner self and not care about trying to make an impression. My motto is, just let me be healthy, all else at this age pales in comparison. Sandra, you are aging very beautifully and naturally and gracefully.
Coming up on my 66th trip around the sun and I here is my truth….as a raw food vegan and a lifelong yogi, I have never felt more confidant or content in my life! As a woman who has devoted the last few years to remaining present to every experience, I appreciate role models like you in my life. Thank you for all you do.
Good morning Sandra! I do understand where your daughter is coming from, I used to feel the same way, once you're past 70 you no longer have that pressure, the one thing I have felt getting older is that you become invisible to younger people, thank you for spending the morning with me I will now go for my walk it gives me mental clarity, a wonderful day
Thanks for discussing this subject! You are so lovely inside and out! I turn 60 this month and it’s really bothering me. I’m trying to focus on being grateful for for my health and family. I’ve also been focusing on taking care of my skin and clothing that makes me feel young. Not young people’s clothing but just classic styles that fit my body type. I also added some supplements for inflammation and added collagen. I walk 30 minutes everyday and have done yoga for over 30 years. Low carb eating habits. Working on losing 10 lbs but it’s harder these days. I’m a cancer survivor and am grateful for God’s blessings on my life.
My mom used to say ‘age is just a number’ and ‘you’re only as old as you feel’. For me at 68, feeling young means less time looking in the mirror and more time doing what makes me feel alive & useful.
Good morning dear Sandra, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The beauty of a woman isn't in her facial mode , but true beauty in a woman, is reflected by her soul. It's the caring that she cares to give, the passion that she shows.
I will be 71 this month and proud of the few wrinkles on my face. My hands are very wrinkled from the wrists to the knuckles but these hands have done a lot of good things in life for myself and others, and worked hard. The skin on my arms and legs has changed too but the only thing I can do now is keep lotion on it. When I started using makeup at 16 I used Cover Girl and it was to "enhance" my facial features, NOT change them. I still use it.
You are beautiful for any age - but you do give us all hope that we can maintain our appearance well into our 80's. I gave up coloring my hair at 65. My hair was thinning so much on top I was afraid the chemicals were making it worse. Turns out I have pure white hair that I wear in a bob (I'm 71 next month) . My grandfather (a minister) had pure white hair - it is a treasure everyone wants in my family. So I feel blessed!! As always your inspiration is a gift to us - we treasure your wisdom and encouragement. I hope that our comments encourage you as well. :)
I’m only 16 years old and I love your channel. You are helping and inspiring me so much. Thank you!✨Subscribed, since I watched your videos the first time 😊.
Sandra you are 100% right. It breaks my heart when I see all these women, beautiful women falling for the superficial innuendo. Always follow the money. They don't care about us. They care about making money.
Sandra, I think you and Margaret from “60 and Me” are so right about ageing. We are aging from the moment two cells become 4. Why can’t we enhance ourselves instead of try to be what we aren’t. So many destroy their beautiful selves in believing the industry nonsense. I am woman and I’m getting old.☺️
Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing your take on life each week. I am 66 and lost my mother when I was 39 and you really help me. I am learning to love me and I sure do love you. You are inspiring. Have a wonderful day.
Vous êtes un magnifique exemple pour votre fille, pour les femmes de 70 ans comme moi et les plus jeunes qui vous écoutent. Merci merveilleuse DAME pour toutes vos vidéos que je regarde avec beaucoup d’intérêts . 🙏🏻💓
I was diagnosed with breast cancer May, 2015 Had my mastectomy in August & decided not to have an implant. I was 53 years old. I’m 61 now & can honestly say I don’t regret not having that done. I’m not out to impress anyone. My husband of 32 years passed away 2018. I enjoy being around my beautiful Grandchildren, not interested in dating. When I was younger I never liked laying out in the sun nor laying in a tanning bed, this will make you look older. I’m a firm believer it’s what’s in your heart that makes a person who they are. “ Pretty is as pretty does”
I appreciate your comments. I am 62 and fear old age because I am alone. My health is still good but one day it will decline. I am also afraid of where I go when I do die. I just hope I go peacefully. I worry about running out of money. we'll see. But thank you for your words of wisdom. bless you
Thank you so much for this message. I'm 63 and thankful I'm still alive. Youth and beauty are great while they last. But I believe that REAL joy is freedom, peace, love and good health and you don't need to be young and beautiful to have those. Blessings and abundance to you.✨💙
I was judgemental on myself in my 40s. It made me miserable. Then I changed. In the mirror I looked FOR myself, not at myself I became aware of my spiritual journey, more than my physical journey I realized what nature and God has given me is enough No beauty intervention will improve the quality of me, I am deeply in love with myself, my life and my relationships, none of which need to be fake for my love Thank you Sandra for calling this part of me forward All of me, now, is in the deep love of life ❤ Thank you 🙏 Kisses and encouragement to your channel 🦋🌿🦋💕🌿🦋you are a trail blazer 🦋
Sandra I think you are beautiful inside and out. I will be 67 years old and I feel exactly as you. Beauty is so much deeper than our face. Of course, I want to look the best I can but most people are not remembered for their looks but rather the kindness, dignity and love they leave behind. Thank you so much for speaking out and giving us older women encouragement and your invaluable wisdom.
You look beautiful and in good shape Sandra. Good to see like that. Well said as usual. Natural beauty is the core be in the mind or body, which never perish easily. Remain blessed.
Sandra, I have been fighting 'aging' since I was 12 years old. LOL I was always happy with my age and didn't want to get a year older. And, here I am decades and decades and decades, and decades and... later and I'm still happy with my age and don't want to get a year older. Each birthday the 'happy year' just moves up one notch. I've never recognized the supposed sweet spot between not too young and not too old, so I think that it's just a made up place in our imagination. A definition of Graceful is, "Elegance (excellence) of form, manner or motion, a pleasing or attractive quality." So, I'm going with ... Aging Gracefully is taking care of myself throughout my lifetime and appreciating that the results are better than if I hadn't. We've all have gotten mixed messages about everything as long as we can remember and it's up to us to choose those we believe to be true, whatever the subject. The beauty industry's focus is profits, so they give us more of what we buy. We just need to remember that we're in charge, the power is ours. The 'sweet spot' here, to me, is between just giving up and doing nothing and going overboard to try to make up for our past efforts. It's refusing to let regrets rule us one way or the other. Another big plus is, people tend to see us the way we see ourselves, so our attitudes also make a huge difference. That you, Sandra, for reminding us that we are a great deal more than enough.
Dear Sandra, I turned 71 yesterday and this morning I turned to your channel for my weekly wisdom conversation with "big sister" Sandra (I never miss any, love your thoughts, voice and superb editing). I thought that the subject was so appropriate and relevant and it comforted me in my belief that most women can age well without cosmetic procedures (I never had any and do not plan to). And I could not get over my dismay at Madonna's new plastic face at the Grammys: she is 64 and looks like a baby doll, I could not recognize her. Sad, sad.
I just turned 46 and this is the first birthday that I didn't agonize about getting older. Typically I don't enjoy birthdays for the reasons mentioned in this video in regards to the negative views that are pushed about aging for women. Ms. Sandra is right. Regardless of what you look like externally, you are still getting older on the inside. At this season I plan to look my best, take much better care of my health, and be a good example for younger women. This was a great video.❤
Well said Sandra. I'm 71 and I still feel young at heart. I don't want procedures, also I must admit, I can't afford them. I'm happy with who I am for the most part, being with my family and my long, long time friends.
My husband & I both turned 80 in April......we celebrated & continue to celebrate & be thankful for this gift we've been given....we still giggle & act goofy, take alot of road trips, cook together..we are so grateful for our health. Please.....I hope that your daughter concentrates on this wonderful life that she can create for herself!!!
Wonderful words you speak Sandra! I as well put much blame on the cosmetics companys as well as RU-vid. The number of mature women who are altering there faces constantly where they looked beautiful before is sending a poor message as well. I have unsubscribed to a few of them for that reason. I will be 63 this month and really get tired of hearing about what I need to be doing to turn back 20 years on the constant when I felt fine before. As the old saying goes, " I would think you would have bigger fish to fry" than constantly altering your face as the big picture is so much larger than you. Always love your thought provoking videos my friend❤.
Sandra, to be filled with joy as you are is the greatest beauty asset. No make up or procedure can hide eyes that are not filled with joy. Your daughter need only look at her Mother to be inspired. Graceful and filled with life you make 84 a beautiful number. All glory to God for your enthusiasm and filling your life with what really matters. XX
I will be turning 62 in a week. I am glad you are talking about all of this. I sometimes think I am getting to look older but I guess that is because I am older. I survived cancer 10 or so years ago that many people die from, so I feel grateful to be alive and healthy. I always try to remind myself that smiling makes everyone look better. It is what you are like on the inside that makes you a beautiful person or not. It’s so true. Thanks, Sandra.
Thank y you. I'm 69 years young and it's the public too. When you are older people treat you differently. As you say, there is a stigma about aging. I made a decision that I will not change to be accepted by you. So I continue to be my friendly self with everyone.
Thank you Sandra very dearly. Years ago I would not enjoy my reflection. Since returning to church 5 yrs ago I decided to grow my hair and eat better. Addressing health and nutrition for brain, bones,and heart. Daily it's a challenge but I persist. Now my grey hair reaches to my but . I notice this appearance is nice. I also believe we have a responsibility to ourselves to be healthy So we can benefit the prize of living as best we can. I don't like skin creams or cosmetics. I worry about putting chemicals on my skin. Oh grief 😔 But I'm 60 and still want to make the most of health and natural beauty. Blessings from Adelaide Australia 🇦🇺 🙏 Long live us all. Amen??
Agree 100% Tell your daughter she doesn't want a man who is after a "young thing" because even if she's a "young thing" to him now - he'll never be satisfied with her. She wants someone who wants her for who she is. They're out there - don't give up hope!
100% Everything you said. Thank you.😊 At 70 (now) a casting agent told me, “ You have a great look!” I believe in great posture, good hair (mine is short, white) and I search out best foods for good skin! 💃🏻
Inside out. Thank you for sharing your words of Wisdom. We cant prevent the inevitable, Taking care of ourselves is key to longevity, Health is wealth, Aging gracefully. Peace & Blessing. 🙏
Sandra, what an honest video!! Approaching 70 and had been doing Botox and fillers up until 2 years ago. After looking at a Betty White picture and realized how beautiful she was because of the twinkle in her eye, authentic smile, great humor, well, that became my definition of beauty. Now I truly like the way I look. It's me. I do eat healthy, exercise and take care of my skin. Instead of injections, go for monthly facials. So glad I found your channel and am looking forward to Tuesday and seeing you again. Have a fantastic week.
I enjoyed your topic today. This has been bothering me for some time now. I call it toxic femininity. I am 65. I have had no desire to have work done on my face or body. This lack of self-acceptance is a disturbing trend to me as well. Sometimes I think that people do this as a way to avoid aging because it somehow tricks them into thinking it leads to living longer. Hint: It does not. I’m grateful for my mom always saying that “Pretty is is pretty does.” She urged me to concentrate on my inside more. My mom is 90 now- and she’s still a great role model on aging gracefully! Thanks Sandra- and you are beautiful inside and out. ♥️
👏🏻👏🏻. Thank you dear Sandra. This is so true. Aging is a natural process. I am so thankful for age! I’m thankful I’m healthy. I’m thankful for skincare and knowledge to help us go naturally into these older years❣️ You motivate us!
I agree we should all be able to age gracefully, but honestly, not everyone ages as well as you have. You have very few lines for your age. You are so right about being kind to yourself, and remember it’s what’s on the inside that really matters. I think many of us do remember pressures to look a certain way when we were young. This obsession with perfection is intense today, but nothing new.
Dear Wise Sister, I wish we were neighbors. Also I live in Vermont, have been to So Beach and love it. My first and oldest best friend just died( 50 yrs) where do I begin a life continualy evolving with so much sadness around me? I’ve come to realize the intensity of suffering around me. After 30+ years as an RN, I need to find my emotional voice- Yes, I write but am blocked. So happy that you have made it beyond 6months of loosing Arthur.. You are a joy , Sandra.!! Thank you for SAGE reflection and open hearted sharing Lindsey
Sandra, this is a wonderful message for all of us to embrace! I am 77 and still sassy and am told I do not look that age! I do take care of my skin and dress appropriately! But once in a while I pull out something like the ripped sunflower jeans and a matching plaid shirt. You wouldn’t believe how it went through my ophthalmologist’s office and I had to model for them! I did not do this with the outcome but to just to be comfortable ! Enjoy EVERY day that we are given! god is good! Love you, Sandra!
My mother never complained about getting older. It was a graceful entrance and exit. She never talked about her age, makeup, her aches & pains, or her diabetes & loss of her leg. I am very proactive about the chance of being a Diabetic (no sugar & walk 3 miles/6x a week)and will try to be graceful too.
Hello Sandra, I'm 56 years of age. I remember you from Romper Room, always hoping you'd see me in the mirror...lol. I came across your videos here and have been watching for the past few months. I lost my mother and father tragically together some years back. You remind me of my beautiful graceful mother. She was a true beauty as you are. She would be your age today. I want to thank you for life advice warming my heart. I guess I still need motherly input and you are kinda filling this role because I'm not close to my hometown, family, aunts, etc. Thanks beautiful lady. My mother's name was Theresa.
Thank you Sandra for your wisdom and clarity. I know I am not alone in saying you are the Mom or Grandmother I never had to impart such guidance. What you say about aging naturally resonates with me. I am 72 and do not want any elective procedures. I've had unelectice surgery (cancer) and it's no fun! And life changing. I believe in skin care, healthy eating, and lots of supplements. I do some stretching and toning. Not enough, probably. Mainly, I keep my mind challenged with learning and fun hobbies like painting. I enter my art in shows. I maintain precious friendships. I try to be a good friend and help others, even just a listening ear sometimes. I appreciate the way you so openly share how you handle life's issues, and I hope that I can age as gracefully and beautifully as you, to the very end. Thank you, Sandra. You probably cannot know what a light you are in this world.
Sandra 🧡 You know I teach this and have preached this for decades. Wabi Sabi embracing the imperfections of life in ourselves and aging an absolutely beautiful gift. I teach pro aging. I can tell you that many directors and film makers are now having women sign contracts saying that they will not touch their faces with procedures or needles. Not all but some. We must as women change the dialogue, we must teach younger women that we are not worthless as we age, but we are more beautiful more wonderful and more amazing. We must stop changing our faces for a ridiculous beauty standard set by the beauty industry and social media. In fact many beauty channels will not recommend me because of my message and you have always been a lovely support. Beauty exudes from you because you are so kind and your words are a gift. Blessings Sandra and everyone. Remember you are ALL enough. 🙌🏻🍑🧡Lisa 57 and fabulous no needles and no procedures
Lisa, you know that I agree with you 100% and I am a big fan of your channel. I love and use your products. Peaches Skincare I think is the best skincare out there today. I have never been very loyal to any brand and I am a Boom Ambassador because of their pro-aging stance and natural products. Before BOOM and Peaches I would just kind of try things here and there, but since I started using your products, I think I will be a Peaches Skincare user as long as I’m here on this earth. Sandra
Really enjoyed this Conversation Sandra. Almost 64, I am not scared of Ageing. I am a Cancer Survivor and have Survived 2 heart attacks. I take each day as it comes. I enjoy every Birthday that I have. I am Comfortable in my own skin. Whether it has a little wrinkle or not. When you Survive a Terminal Illness, your Priorities change. I welcome life and yes, Old Age is Not For Cissies! But The Lord-has given me His Strength to carry on and Appreciate my Family and Friends and Myself. Making the Best of my Appearance and Style. I don’t have a Partner or Husband now and don’t need one. I’m really very Happy and have my Dog and my Beautiful Grandchildren. Be Encouraged Ladies and Men, make the most of yourselves. You Be the Best you can be. 🏴 Love Cathyxxx
Sandra, your message truly resonated with me and it is so timely! I have recently heard similar concerns from two of my four daughters and I truly identify with your reaction and responses. I have always valued the beauty and wisdom of relatives and friends who were older than I am. I find wrinkles to be beautiful. I don't know if this is because, as an artist, I view people differently than some. Perhaps it is because I see the soul in others. Souls are ageless. Only egos age. One of my beautiful daughters told me that she wants to dye her hair for the rest of her life so she'll never have gray hair! I LOVE my gray hair, so she didn't learn this from me. Like you, I tend to believe that these concerns about such natural and harmless processes are learned. Throughout our lives, the world is constantly telling us who we should be. I asked my daughter to remember who she was before the world told her who she should be.
You gave great advice to your daughter, and perhaps she will change her mind as she matures. Maybe she won’t but then maybe she will. Creative beings, see far more than the surface of anything that is around them. As an artist, you see far more than most of the on the surface.
I'm tired of cosmetic companies advertising anti-aging products with models 20 years of age at the most. Your right that I at 67 years of age I'll never look 20 ever again. I was born at the right time for me and watched so many not live this long. I'm going to do my best too look my best as long as I can and it's for me and and anyone who thinks this way. It's a pleasant thing to see someone who takes pride their appearance matter who. Thank you.👍
I love this video. Thank you so much for these truths. Please tell your daughter that a quality man will not care about your age. My husband is 13 years younger than me and we are going to have our 31st anniversary this month. He is a wonderful man and doesn’t care about my wrinkles. He will be 62 in August and I will be 75 in May. You look beautiful and if your daughter looks as good as you she is blessed. ❤
I m 65 and always thanking God for each and every movement of my day.at 65 my priority is only on my health and mentally happy .enjoying time with my children and grandchildren. Feeling so blessed and lucky to be healthy and giving some contribution to the younger generation by helping to look after the grandchildren .
I finished my Masters degree at 45 whilst raising my 3 children. When I applied for a job at our local hospital, I was described as an oldie. I did not get the job despite topping my degree, having 15 years experience and another bachelor degree in teaching as well. It took me 3 years to get a job. The only job that would accept me was a teacher's aide, for which you need no degree at all. I was replaced by a younger woman after 2 years. I now join the countless women over 50 who struggle to find employment. And they want us to work to 67 here in Australia. HOW??
My grandmother never wore makeup except for a bright lipstick. She turned 98 in December and before anyone could take her picture she had to have her bright lipped smile.🧑🦳💄💕 Mind you she broke her hip two years ago and has been unable to walk, but can sit in a wheelchair. She was widowed at 54 years old with 7 children. She is a beautifully strong woman with a beautiful smile to boot!
Good to see you. It’s very strange I was thinking this morning that I didn’t see you for a while and was thinking to check your you tube and I saw you. How strange is that.🥰🥰🥰
Amen Sandra. I'm 59 and holding and the thought of aging is something most women have to work through. We as women are always reminded that we are just not quite enough when the wrinkles start appearing. I'm one that chooses to age gracefully. Thank you so much for this talk. I needed it!
I admire you so much and I wish there were more role models like you. I am 48 and I am letting my grays come in. I take care of myself and use LED lights, do facial exercises, and natural beauty products but that’s it! I want to look like myself even if I’m aging. You look amazing and your confidence and spirit make you even more beautiful! ❤
Thank you for addressing this topic- I’m 53 now and used to get Botox and fillers but I’ve decided that’s not for me anymore. The little benefit or wrinkle smoothing and unnatural appearance just isn’t worth it to me. Instead, I use skincare to improve the hydration level and use things to care for my neck and facial skin with micro current and LED lights. I may still have some growth to do in this area…
Thank you so much for this conversation, I totally agree with you on the subject , we all need to grow old gracefully. When I was younger I never heard of all the different things our skin is supposed to need, I can not think of any one growing old more gracefully than my darling Mum every morning after she had finished her housework she would always put some powder rouge as they called it the and some lipstick, then before my Dad got home from work she would shower clean dress and redo her face again . All they had back then was good old ponds , and that’s how I remember her daily routine she had beautiful skin .
Self acceptance, self confidence and gratitude are the best beauty enhancers - you’re positively glowing in that gorgeous striped top you’re wearing Sandra - it’s certainly different in Europe older women’s beauty grace and style is embraced and celebrated

Oh, Yes! I am agree with every word of yours. I am 63 from Eastern Europe, and we also didn't have this false value earlier. It appeared maybe just 30 years ago. I am happy, that I am here, on Earth.
Thank you so much for sharing your wise words. The huge mistake is thinking about our Age. Our inner beauty and how we feel, will eventually reflect externally. We Women are really are like Flowers! God bless you! I turned 50 recently but I feel 25! If we take care of ourselves, then Aging is a mistake! To me, Exercise and really taking care of , Body, Mind and Soul is the best way to aging gracefully! ❤️😊
