I know you've gone through a lot, but I wanted you to know how much you inspire me every time I watch one of your videos. You just exude positivity, class, and perseverance. You let us into your life enough to know what's going on, but you don't air out every emotion on the internet, and I think that takes a lot of strength when you have the platform and audience to do so. Instead, you maintain a very strong demeanor and presence and I admire that very much. Thank you for showing everyone how to present ones self with humble elegance and pride. Love your videos. Love your personality. Keep it up!
Well said!!! Exactly my thoughts…..As I go through my own life challenges and transitions similar to you, I look up to you as a “humble, elegant, confident, humane” person of reference. Much love ❤️
I couldn't agree more. Dominique have been the light from the lighthouse for me in helping me to turn around my life in ways that I just didn't know how to. When you see that there is someone that is going through similar situations and thinks it through it makes the problem less to tackle and more to handle. I have been tuning into Dominique's videos almost from the beginning and I am so very thankful that she developed a platform for us to speak about what we women really put attention to and worry us sometimes whether it be relationships, how you perceive yourself and how to look better while facing these challenges and changes. Her book has been a light-bulb moment in many chapters as I read through it.
We are not all destined for marriage. I am approaching 60 and never married, that special connection has eluded some of us. Does not mean that we have not had painful, heartbreaking relationships. We all need a hand getting back up on that horse. Agree completely about positivity, and gratitude. Even when at your lowest find something to be grateful for, and how classy and respectful that some things remain private.
I cannot believe Audrey is 87!!! WOW!!! I thought she was in her early 70’s. She looks so much younger and acts so much younger than her actual age. You Go Audrey!!! 💃🏻
Audrey is amazing! I would love to have Dominique team up with Audrey and do a Bra review for older women!! Please, Please, Please. I know I can't be the only one.
I love your genuine character and your gentle heart…you are a blessing to this community and this world, Dominique. Keep letting His light and love shine through you. ❤
I am almost 57 and I love pro aging. I have allowed my grey hair sparkle, I do absolutely nothing invasive to my face and I feel amazing. I also had to stop HRT because I had cancer concerns and health issues. I just started eating well ( plant based) and intermittently fasting. I exercise regularly and I feel the best I ever have. Be happy! Give back to others and continue to grow. Also surround yourself with good people. 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
I agree, swallowing mouthfuls of hormones isn't going to change everything. I agree you can feel your best with proper nutrition and exercise. And a terrific mindset.
@@lynnnelson6689 love all of this. I wish women would understand they the moment they start fillers and changing their faces, they actually appear older. We need to love and accept ourselves. Thank you for being kind. Have a remarkable day Lynn🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
@@rebeccayoung1833 agree🧡 at least for me! I have found as I as that each day is a gift. I won’t be drawn into the fear of aging, worrying I don’t have enough money or things. Just live in the moment. Blessings Rebecca 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
Gosh, this was wonderful! I laughed, got tears in my eyes, and felt better about life afterward. You are so inspiring - especially when talking about your faith. Life can kick you right in the chops…we can wallow in it all, or we can pick up the pieces, learn from it, be grateful, and find a better way for ourselves. You are such a great example of how to shine in spite of it all. I just love you to pieces, and I thank you. ❤
“Whose life are you living?” SO profound and thought-provoking, Dominique! Thank you. And thank you so much for mentioning the importance and joy of having animals in one’s life! I am 64 and a longtime animal rescuer. I would not want to live without the unconditional love and companionship I get from animals. And to those who asked about reconnecting with life as a result of pandemic isolation, if you don’t yet feel comfortable being around a lot of humans, go volunteer at an animal shelter or rescue. Just sit on the floor and “be” with homeless cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs… whatever kind of animal with which you most connect. They are OUTSTANDING listeners! And they will make you belly laugh with their silly antics. They are good for the soul! Time spent with them-and Mother Nature in general-can be extremely impactful, rewarding… even educational. And who knows… you may come home with the best “mate” you’ve ever had in your life! 😉❤️
2 years ago I was just a shadow of myself. Then a cat came to my life. This little amazing creature helped me regaining myself again … so: agree 100% ❤
I love your suggestion! I never had dogs growing up...at 42 I got 2 poodles and they have been such a beautiful addition to our family...they are so sweet, loveable, fun, funny and the unconditional love they provide is just a blessing!🐾❤️🐾🐩🐾❤️
I'm 69 and no kids not married. Love my life helping animals but today diagnosed with severe arthritis so wont be able to help them as much. You helped me realizing just take one day at a time.
Dear Dominique, I've watched you from the beginning. I was devastated when you shared that your marriage ended. I cried for you. Even though I am older than you, I looked at you as my mentor. Here we are, over a year ago when your life changed. I'm so pleased to see you smile and enjoying your new journey. You look beautiful and happy. We have all experienced challenges. I'm a cancer survivor and thank God above for all the blessings in my life; and there are many. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I'm internally greatful for your guidedance and your kindness. Love and light, Sarah from Boston🙏❤☀😘
Praise God for your victory over cancer. That awful disease took my beautiful sister in law and mother in law a year apart. Praying God keeps you healthy 🙏❤️
Dear Vicky, My sincere condolences on the loss of your sister and mother-in-law from this dreaded desease. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for being cancer free. I still am terrified that it will rear it's ugly head. It's been 10 years. Please be diligent in check ups. If you even think something is wrong you get yourself to the doctors and get a mammogram. Be your own healthcare advocate! I will add you to my prayer list. We are so lucky to live in a day and age where science has improved in detecting problems at the get go. Please take good care of you! ~Sarah~
I like how you come across now...meaning after your career shift and your personal relationship and living situation shift. You seem so much more honest, approachable and ultimately free. That is so attractive, appealing and inspiring. Every time we see someone be the way we want to be, it gives us permission to do and be it ourselves. i know we shouldn't wait for someone else to be 'the first' but it doesn't hurt to have positive examples to draw from. i also like the casual style you are displaying. I am an actor... in Hollywood so I am always having to 'doll myself up' for work or auditions or just for meetings and when I am not in any of those situations I love wearing my yoga gear, put my hair in a ponytail and just wear sunscreen and some lip gloss and that's it. Let's make the best of 2023, no matter what comes with it or what its thrown at us form the outside. I believe we still have control over our mind, our focus and our inner life and Heart so here we go....
You’ve always been so inspiring to me. I discovered you when you had about 200K followers and now you have almost 2M! I’m not American, so I didn’t know you at all but, from the first time a saw you, I loved your honesty, and your way of talking to us, as a good and thoughtful friend. You are still the same. Thank you for this lovely chat 😘❤️
Sorry to hear your marriage is ending. That’s a big life change. Mine ended about 25 years ago with three small children and we all survived. I never remarried and I’ve been single for 25 years now.
I too have been through 2 divorces and you're right, no matter what the circumstance they are painful. I also had a 5 year relationship end last year this time, we never married. I was so down, it was more painful than my divorces. I reconnected with a friend from high school this past May by divine intervention 🙂and we are very much in love . Who would've thought and he helped me find my first Jeep also! I love it so much, it makes me happy to drive it. I say all that to say life has a way of working out even when you think it won't. I turn 57 today and this is the happiest I have been in a very long time. Love your content and all that you bring to your subscribers. Many blessings to you.💚
Thank you so much for affirming my decisions to have a backbone and to end toxic friendships and relationships at the end of 2022. It made me so uneasy, but the thought of going into another year unhappy and suffering for the sake of others wasn't going to cut it. The beginning of 2023 has been somber and even lonely, but you reminded me the other side of this positive decision is just around the corner.
I was happy to hear you say you don't feel pressure to be married again. That seems healthy. I also think it will resonate with many that home ownership is not the be-all-end-all. Happy that you are happy with your retirement, and that your mom is doing well.
I inherited a house and I can't wait to get rid of it. I'm single and 60 so to me, it's just a burden in many ways, especially financial. Home ownership is vastly overrated.
You mention prayer, embracing new phases in life, gratitude, and seeing dark times as a season in life. As I go through cancer treatments, this rings so true! Thank you for speaking to us on such a personal level.
I’m surprised that people asked her why her marriage came apart. That’s no one’s business and I wouldn’t dream of asking someone that, even someone I know well. People always amaze me…….😱
So many things I love about this video but my favorites are how close you and your mom are, that you shoot and edit your own videos, and your positivity! Thank you! 💝
Great video - I’m 70 and feel 48. As my Mom told us to “think young and keep moving”. You seem happy and moving forward with your life in a very positive way. Life in the present and be open is my attitude.
Thank you for always being so authentically you, Dominique. I’m a 33 yo Scottish woman who aspires to be the type of woman you absolutely are: graceful, classy, and beautiful inside & out! Your content is so wholesome and I really appreciate you taking the time to put such effort into each and every video you produce.
The look on your face when you said how much you love your new apartment was wonderful, even life affirming. Having watched you for years, through good times & grotty ones, that moment made me see that your joie de vivre was alive & well. I have always been a day at a time girl & keep a happiness tin that I fill with notes about anything that has made me happy or contented in a day; on NYE it's very interesting to look back at the year, most of the notes are about nature & also the little things in life that I believe are actually the big ones. Wishing you a positive 2023.
I really like how you deal with anxiety by praying and doing things that get you out of your head at the moment. That is key to peace. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you Dominique for opening up about so much in a classy manner. That is what drew me to you three years ago- your classy style yes- but more so , your way of presenting yourself & your honesty. We love your videos & hope you have the best year ever. P.S. The sun setting as you filmed this seems so perfect. Beautiful.
Dear Dominique, watching your videos feels like being with a dear, wise friend. Thank you for being brave enough to share your faith and to be authentically you. You give me hope that it is possible to grow old with grace and to still look good in your 50s and beyond. I am now 43. Love from South Africa. (By the way,I think you would love an African safari! There is something about an African sunset that is just indescribable.)
I feel like I just had girl time with a dear friend! You are so open and honest with your answers and it’s so appreciated. Sometimes it has to be hard as you go thru your own issues but there is no doubt that you were meant to do this! You’ve covered topics and given food for thought that makes a difference. You radiate positivity and yet keep it honest and real. I’ve been on your channel for awhile now and I always receive something from watching you. I hope 2023 brings you continued contentment in your life. You do look happy!
Dominique, you are forever a class act. You are a mentor for us all as you remind us to embrace our femininity, poise, faith and mature outlook. May 2023 be wonderful for us all!
Hi Dominique. I loved your answer to the question about anxiety and how you remedy that. You replied "pray." I recite the Lord's prayer over and over, along with deep breathing, and at times when I'm feeling extremely stressed I'll hold my Bible close to my heart, and recite the Lord's prayer. I try to do that every night when I go to bed, but more often than not I fall asleep before I finish 😄. It always always calms me down. God Bless you in the new year. 🙏❤
Dearest Dominique. Firstly, I want to thank you for making my life richer and more comforting for being here. I look to you as an older sister (only 5 years difference to be precise! ). You always make me feel better. I'd just like to say that I'm so happy that you are in such a different place in this video than one of last year, which saddened me at the time, but I know is all part of life. Nevertheless it's wonderful to see you happy and omg when you said you were dating someone I nearly fell off my chair! hahaha. Sooooo, sooo happy for you and lucky guy! Lots of love xx
Love your LOVE for GOD! When you said God inspires you I literally got tears in my eyes! Love you girl! ❤️You’re so articulate and well spoken! The comment of journalism and you believing in true journalism and truth telling, balance and presenting both sides is very well said! 👏👏 It’s sad what we hear now with one sided journalism. You definitely stayed true to yourself and your beliefs! 💖Hope you have an awesome 2023! ❤️
This q&a was absolutely beautiful. So many parts, you challenged me: how to conduct myself in the workplace and not isolate, not isolating or sitting on the sidelines of life, giving others (& myself) grace, as well as other helpful things you shared. I can relate to what you said about the perfectionism and how that affected other areas and relationships you had and how you had to kind of retrain yourself about how you do authentic, loving relationships. It hit my heart. Dominique, I pray that this year is a year that God floods your heart to overflowing with all of your generosity and care that you have given others. Thank you for sharing 😊❤🙏
Loved this. Knowing what you've really been going through (via friends) makes this special. You have strength, courage, dignity, without sharing your deep hurt, betrayal and vulnerability is a huge credit to you xxx love who you are and what you are doing. Truly believe 2023 is going to be your year xx
I love that you are loyal to those who are and are not in your life. You don’t feel the need to share your everything and i honor that. I would love to hear how you knew it was time to make a change in your life. I think those decisions are so hard considering your son and others who might be hurt. I think we all have a process to make hard decisions but often put them off for a long time. We don’t need to know why you made the decision but how you knew it was time. If that is not too personal. I do appreciate your sincerity and openness to share so many aspects of your life. I have learned so much from your videos! ❤
I really admire what you said about your reason for leaving your job, that you believe in truth in journalism and not opinion journalism. I respect you for taking a stand for your belief in honesty and truth.
I am still in contact with my son's first wife. They were high school sweethearts, he was head over heels from day one. She wasn't so much. He joined the Army, eventually went SF, which meant 6 month deployments every year. She wanted kids, he didn't want to be an absent father. They ended up divorced, but friendly. She remarried and has 3 kids! Beautiful kids! He remarried, and they have none and won't. My reasoning is that they wanted different things from life. Unfortunately, they found out too late that they wanted different things. I would no sooner expect her to give up her dreams of life than I would him. So they split, amicably, and are still friendly to each other. She has a new husband and three kids that are her life. She's a great mom! He has a new wife and the freedom to pick up and go when they want! Win/win in my mind. It's sad that a love story didn't work out, but splitting and going after your dreams is sooooo much healthier than sticking it out for public opinion.
"IN the Day Thinking" is probably the most pertinent mode of thinking I can imagine. So applicable to any phase of life and never heard it til now...my new mantra. BRAVA!
What a lady. Class act all the way. Every video from you I take something away from it. I better myself in beauty and as a person. Thank you. I hope one day to meet you in person. Hugs and kisses from Mexico. Please give Audrey my best.
Just switched to you halfway through Norah O’Donnell’s 30 minute interview of an expert on emotions, author of endless books saying the same thing.feeling blah’d and disinterested. 5 minutes with you here and…we are live! Thank you for providing real depth, substance, compassionate can-do! 💐
Love love love what you do Dominique. For years my best friend and I watched and talked about your tutorials, your recommendations and your ENCOURAGEMENT! My friend just went to heaven on Sunday after a long cancer battle - I am shattered but happy she’s out of pain. She and I always said Dominique needs to be a motivational speaker and she asked me to tell you that…so I’m telling you, DO IT GIRL! I will buy the first ticket! Thank you for what you do ❤
Thank you so much for your candid talk about your personal life, I feel privileged to have heard these words from you. I've been feeling a bit low lately & I'm determined Not to succumb to Depression again. I need to listen to your honest & practical advice through telling your life history. I love your approach, the best one is 'Taking one day at a time'. That's such a good one & also you talk about the love of a dog. I have two toy poodles, they are a huge part of my life, their unconditional love is so pure. I love them so much & they bring me joy. You've mentioned so many good points & I need to start looking after myself & take your advice. Thank you so much for sharing your personal thoughts, you've given me the kick in the backside I needed. You're a lovely lady, You deserve All good wishes for 2023. God Bless you & yours. 💖🇬🇧
Many have thanked you and shared their stories relating to your journey. I might be a bit tardy in watching your Q&A however, I believe God is in control and places you where and when for your good and growth,and, that’s exactly how I feel. I relate to so much of what you’ve shared and how you’ve CHOSEN to use it for good, exactly what God intended. It’s been many years for me. Years of pain, love, joy, forgiving, praying, being Still, surrendering control (whew that’s a biggie) and now I’m happy to say, I’m enjoying the blessings God has placed in my life and I understand it ALL comes from Him. Learning what I needed to learn to get to this place of joy through the storms and continued growth is the goal- inner peace. I want to say to you Miss Dominique, you shine. Your growth and inner peace shows and His light shines through you!!! I’m hooked on your channel lol I thank you for your love of people, your grace and poise through the muck, your transparency and I pray you continue on Gods path with courage, strength, joy and discernment and that you continue to lead by example, It’s the only way through the heartbreak and hurt and to use our testimony to help others. Blessings, Liz from Long Island, NY. (A yankee with a southern heart lol) ❤🙏
Dominique, I can relate to you on so many levels. I love your transparency yet maintaining privacy all in the right ways. You’re an amazing role model for women of all ages. How did you meet your new man? You should do a video on that. I’ve been single for 11 yrs and am open to meeting someone as a companion. I’m 64 and am financially self sufficient but miss having someone in my life.
Long ago I read “ A reason, A season A Lifetime” I think everyone should have this at hand, it totally made sense when changes happened with people around me. It is very powerful! Thank you Dominique for you reflection, your honesty and your ability to hold onto your integrity when it came to answering questions. You have the grace that we all seek. 💕
Dominique, I have followed you for a couple of years and I really enjoy your channel and this episode was really special. I am a few years older than you and still work full time and sometimes after a long day at work I am exhausted. I like how you emphasize the importance of healthy eating, proper skin care and exercise even at times when one is really tired. This is going to be my goal in the New Year. I really look forward to your Thursday messages!
Thank You Dominique for sharing some of your life updates with us, I totally enjoyed listening to you, you’ve been through a lot over the years by the sounds of it and you’ve definitely come out on the other side a better person who can tackle just about anything life throws at you, I have to say that your Mum is Wonderful for her age, she’s the same age as my Mum who has early stages of Dementia and she’s ready to go into a nursing home (her decision) for the past 12 months I’ve been her only caregiver and doing everything for her, showering her, cooking her meals so that I know she’s eating healthy, taking her to Drs appointments, you name it, I’ve been doing it, all for her and in the process, Getting Abused and She’s So Ungrateful for everything I do for her, Your Very Blessed to have an independent Mumma, I wouldn’t know what that’s like. Audrey is a Doll and a Very Special Lady, Hang Onto That. Happy New Year to You, Styles and Audrey, Wishing You All a Wonderful 2023. Best Wishes from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺…Maybe a visit down under can be on your bucket list of travels for this year, we have the best sandy beaches in the world. ❤️❤️❤️🌊🌊🌞🌞💐💐
I was in the same place at 55 - very into myself and my world and my family around me as well as my work. Now that I am 65 I am starting to look to circumstances of others in the world around me and looking for a way that I can use my talents to help make things better for others.
Good Sunday, Dominique! Hope you made it through the scary rains and tornadoes last night. Here to say "Houston & the world LOVES & appreciates you." Wishing you, your son & mom a wonderfully, blessed 2023. Huge Houston Hugs, LeDon xx
OMG, I needed this. You're just such a positive soul. Your advice and wisdom has helped me in my career and at home. Thank you. Please keep doing what you are doing!
You make me happy! I watched this intently. I loved most of the questions and I think you touched on one of mine about growing your hair out and the future color of it. The way you handle intrusive questions is remarkable. You handled them with dignity, grace and respect, but first and foremost, respect to yourself, keeping in mind that there are other people in the equation, and they don't deserve to be treated without grace and respect. Anyone who tunes in to you each week as I do, knows that you've gone through a life change and at this point it should stay at that. You inspire me and there are things you say and how you express yourself that make me smile because we are very similar. You carry yourself with no ego and that is who I am. As far as narcissists and friendships who no longer serve you, well, that tapped right into my life. I've had friendships that no longer served me (one of them being a narcissist when I was a teenager), and I removed myself. By the way, we happen to love the same music (I'm a huge George Michael fan and still mourn his passing). Perhaps I see many similarities when watching you because I am 56, turning 57 next month and I am proud of how far I've come. I, too, have one child, a daughter who will be 18 at the end of this month, and I couldn't agree more with what you laid out about parenting. My slogan has always been that there is no instruction manual, but the things that I wanted from my own parents, I will now impart to my own child. Thank you, Dominique, for the most inspiring video. I love all of them, but this one told me so much more and reached me more in so very many ways. Much respect and love from this fan! Thank you! Elena
Thank you for this! I’m 70 (a young 70!). I’d love to at least share what I found out about my skin (autoimmune) because what I did from age 50-60 was unhelpful for my body, skin, immunity etc. But at my present age I’m “re-coupling” my health and relationships. You are helping me so much. Thank you.
Dominique, your video truly touched my heart on so many levels. ♥ I love what you shared about perfectionism because I think I've struggled with this all of my life trying to live up to what my family, husband, and even friends expected from me and not once, stopping to say, what do I want to do and why can't I just simply be myself, mistakes, wrong turns, and all! I've had quite a year too, with my best friend dying suddenly and my dear mother passing away as well, plus in 2021, my husband passed away and my younger brother, so the heartaches just keep coming but I pray to God that I can find self acceptance and know that things will get better one day at a time. Thank you so much for many of your heartfelt and honest answers to questions that many of us wonder about in our own lives.....you are a beautiful lady and may you have a blessed and very happy and healthy 2023.
Yes! I just had to say thank you for telling people you're thankful for your dog. So many people in our area (Houston Tx) seem to think pets are disposable "things" they get rid of in various manners, most of which are terrible for said pet. People when you take a pet into your care, they are a commitment for the life of the pet. Thank you.
This segment revealed the true Domenique - a determined, smart, and most importantly, supremely spiritual woman. Your philosophy of life is the role model, I, too share. Wishing you and your family good health and the happiness you so richly deserve.
I don't remember when I started watching u but it was when u were doing skin care and hair styles. I ALWAYS thought u were a beautiful lady. I came out of an abusive relationship so watching u made me think how I could do things for myself for myself. FATHER GOD brought me through and when u were asked the question WHO INSPIRES YOU" u said GOD. I could see the Honesty in that. HE inspires me too. Your videos haven't been showing up on my phone so I was surprised this one did today. Thank u for being GENUINE.. there's beauty that goes deep about u. A woman of God
Thank you for always being so real, Dominique! It’s such a breath of fresh air to watch someone who isn’t pretending that looking great, and feeling great don’t take effort. You are a blessing!
Late to this video, but going through some major life changes right now. 66, widowed for 10 years and totally disappointed with the whole dating pool right now. So, selling my house this Spring and moving to France for a minimum of one year. I love your outlook on life. You are never too old to reinvent yourself!
Wow!! Rent was less?? For this fantastic, beautiful ,just stunning place!!!!! You are so blessed!! And your Mom is there too!! God truly has blessed you. I know you have been through some real stuff this past year. But you are my inspiration to go through. Just keep going. . Thank you so very much for everything ❤️ 🙏
I am inspired by you and how you are honest with your imperfections and hurt but still have grace and positivity. God is blessing us with your love and honesty.
Dominique, I watched this when you first posted it and rewatching it now, after what you've been through recently, part of me wishes you could have been protected from the new pain you've recently faced, but I do believe your mom is with you now, closer than ever, and guiding you. For those who ask about the process of divorce looking for guidance, my "inspiration" during mine was Princess Diana. We both married at the same age, around the same time actually, and when she had the COURAGE to go through such a brutal and public divorce, she gave me the courage to do it myself. Sometimes we need people to look to for the inspiration and courage, with the knowledge that if you got through it, so can we. And I will forever remember Diana for that, as some may thank you for your inspiration. We fans of yours all appreciate your honestly and respect. Love your videos and so darn happy for you. Divorce is brutal, let's be honest, no matter what the circumstances. But EVERYONE is "entitled" to be happy and fulfilled. You owe it to yourself and your children to have that, for everybody's sake. Nobody gets a medal when they get to the pearly gates for allowing themselves to be treated like a doormat, or for being a martyr. Where there is a will, there IS a way, and praying to God helps to provide that. God bless you and all those here who are going through difficulties.
Ceron is PHENOMENAL!! He has always given you the very best looks. The way he not only styles your hair, but how he mixes colors in your hair is breathtakingly AMAZING. He is a TRUE ARTIST! If he were my stylist, I would not go to anyone else!
I *also* think Dominique knows what she wants, what looks good on her and what to ask for! I think ppl take those things for granted, but I don’t have those things! lol so, I end up frustrated, but it’s in part my fault bc I need to know what to ask for!! Dominique takes ownership of her style. Just had to give a shout out to her for that bc it’s a huge element of that relationship with a stylist! ❤❤
Sorry I disagree that Ceron is a phenomenal hairdresser. He gave Audrey "hot roots" (means brighter then the ends) and spaghetti like highlights in one of the videos. He didn't think it through and was probably full of himself to correct it. :(
@@janal.3361 hey! So, can you give me advice on that? If you ask the stylist to correct a problem with color, should they do that at no cost? And what if they put you off for a month or more to do so??
@@Deelitee If the color is pretty, but you don't like it on you, the hairdresser usually tells you to sleep on it and come back in a week or so. You might actually like it as you get used to it. But if there is something wrong with the color, then the colorist should fix it right then. You can tone the hair etc. Audrey's roots were "hot" (red) and the highlights were over bleached. Ceron should have corrected the roots with another color to counteract the red and tone the highlights so they don't look like spaghetti.
@@janal.3361 it’s too brassy. He’s done it before too! :| he canceled on me to fix it bc he was sick and is just now able to see me. It was originally done in October!
I so loved this Q n A video! I have wanted to do TH-cam videos myself but have been scared a little. Scared that I will sound silly or not make sense. You are really unfurling and it's an honor to be on the journey with you. Blessings and Love.
The Best 55 minutes I spend on TH-cam thank you so much ❤️ for your time all the best for 2023 as all ways is a pleasure to see you every Thursday I don't miss your videos abslutly love it ❤️💃🙏🙏
What a meaningful, honest, inspiring video!!! I super love the woman that you are! So authentic and down to earth. So glad I found you! You inspire me❤
Oh my what a refreshing breath of beautiful air you are Dominique! As a peri menopausal woman of 48 there are few women that I can relate to. You are inspiring, beautiful, graceful, full of wisdom and I learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you from Toronto, Canada 🙏🤗❤️
You are my age and you look amazing. Thank you for sharing your private life. We all go through things and we all get stronger. I like the way I turned out and glad to say I’m enjoying life even when my life is chaotic. I’m still married and my husband and I are stronger than ever. Marriage is never easy and sometimes it takes a lot of work. We have two adult children, one of them is struggling with life and it has challenged our marriage. I just hope we can survive this. You are an inspiration to all of us. You are beautiful inside and out. Keep making videos to inspire us
My Mom is in an assisted living facility. Best thing she did! She is very active at 82 and has a boyfriend. They are like teenagers and I love it!! Audrey is so fun!
I appreciate your honesty and respect for others when you share. Aging has been a process and trying to stay in gratitude for all I have. Covid changed so much for all of us and it’s been difficult to try to stay active outside of the home. Friends just recently contacted Covid in a restaurant and visiting in a rehab. Makes us a little more cautious.😢
This was such an amazing video! Thank you so much for your wealth of information. You have helped so many women and I for one appreciate what you do so much. May 2023 be your best year yet! ❤
I admire and respect women like you that deal with life challenges with such grace and endurance. I definitely think we younger women have much to learn♥️ best wishes for this year
I would love to just sit out on your balcony and and chat❤️ You have a way of calming and reassuring people….. What a gift! I’ve enjoyed every question that was ask and your answers! Happy New Year 🎆
Dear Dominique, you don't know me but I remember you from my med school days back in Houston 2 decades ago. I remembered coming home exhausted and unsettled from school and on rare occasion turning the tv on to hope to fall asleep and seeing your bright and calming presence and noticing your beauty as well. I thought you were a rising star back then but wouldn't have known more than 2 decades later that your star is really rising now...I wish you all the happiness and recovery in the world. I know what it means to have feelings of anxiety and trauma from an external source or situation that you could never imagine you would find yourself in. Thank you for validating feelings that you shouldn't stay in settings that dont serve you (for pure minded people). Gentle hug for a pure minded woman. Be safe and well...Ps go wear a white shirt and eat pasta at Grottos or La Griglia and get it on you shirt (like I would ;)) and enjoy the imperfection of days savoring life..:)
Loved this Q&A! Lost my husband in October 2021. We were married for 50 years and I have no interest in dating or getting married again. I’m 71, enjoy my time with friends and family. Love the chair. Is it comfortable? I may order it! ❤️
Coconut oil can cause break outs for some people. Best moisturizer for anybody is beef tallow! It won't cause breakouts and you can use it anywhere. I make my own foot cream with it. Add essential oils to make it smell great!
Absolutely loved watching this video, even my husband stopped watching the TV to watch! You truly inspire me and I love your honesty. I take so much from your content and want to thank you x
I took pellets when going through the change! After a few years, I developed endometrial cancer! Since caught early, complete hysterectomy was my only treatment as well as yearly check up! I am thankful! Be careful!!! Love you being a part of my life. I’m 79!
Thank you for the encouragement! Love the backdrop of the sun going down in Houston. And thank you for sharing your life. The ups and downs. Can't wait to see Miss Audrey's place. She is one of a kind!
I truly respect the fact that you respect the privacy of others and yourself. You’re not obligated to answer personal questions that get too personal. You answer many questions about yourself and your lifestyle, what works, what doesn’t work for you personally. That doesn’t mean that the same applies to everyone but it certainly could apply to most if we give it a try. Thank you for being you which is one dignified lady. I’ve known very few in my life but you definitely are one. I will look into some of the other videos that pertain to items that I am interested in. I’m very happy that your mother lives close to you and I’m sure she is too. Thank you for a very nice video. Love and prayers, V
I respect the heck out of your strong boundaries and respect for others. Sad to say that feels rare in today's day and age. Yet you maintain your youthful enthusiasm it's uplifting! You and your mother both deserve wonderful partners. No doubt about it. But que sera sera, so much to be enjoyed in life regardless. God bless! ♥️
I know you've gone through a lot, but I wanted you to know how much you inspire me every time I watch one of your videos. You just exude positivity, class, and perseverance. You let us into your life enough to know what's going on, but you don't air out every emotion on the internet, and I think that takes a lot of strength when you have the platform and audience to do so. Instead, you maintain a very strong demeanor and presence and I admire that very much. Thank you for showing everyone how to present ones self with humble elegance and pride. Love your videos. Love your personality. Keep it up!
Thank you for saying that. I appreciate it
Well said!!! Exactly my thoughts…..As I go through my own life challenges and transitions similar to you, I look up to you as a “humble, elegant, confident, humane” person of reference. Much love ❤️
I couldn't agree more. Dominique have been the light from the lighthouse for me in helping me to turn around my life in ways that I just didn't know how to. When you see that there is someone that is going through similar situations and thinks it through it makes the problem less to tackle and more to handle. I have been tuning into Dominique's videos almost from the beginning and I am so very thankful that she developed a platform for us to speak about what we women really put attention to and worry us sometimes whether it be relationships, how you perceive yourself and how to look better while facing these challenges and changes. Her book has been a light-bulb moment in many chapters as I read through it.
My exact thoughts! Dominique is such a classy lady, even through difficult times
I subscribe your words.
We are not all destined for marriage. I am approaching 60 and never married, that special connection has eluded some of us. Does not mean that we have not had painful, heartbreaking relationships. We all need a hand getting back up on that horse. Agree completely about positivity, and gratitude. Even when at your lowest find something to be grateful for, and how classy and respectful that some things remain private.
I cannot believe Audrey is 87!!! WOW!!! I thought she was in her early 70’s. She looks so much younger and acts so much younger than her actual age. You Go Audrey!!! 💃🏻
Agree with totally!! I couldn’t believe she is 87!!
Whaaa?
I really hope Dominique does a Q and A with Audrey soon!!!! I would love to know her secrets, supplements, hormones, diet etc!!!
RIGHT?!!!
Audrey is amazing! I would love to have Dominique team up with Audrey and do a Bra review for older women!! Please, Please, Please. I know I can't be the only one.
I love your genuine character and your gentle heart…you are a blessing to this community and this world, Dominique. Keep letting His light and love shine through you. ❤
I am almost 57 and I love pro aging. I have allowed my grey hair sparkle, I do absolutely nothing invasive to my face and I feel amazing. I also had to stop HRT because I had cancer concerns and health issues. I just started eating well ( plant based) and intermittently fasting. I exercise regularly and I feel the best I ever have. Be happy! Give back to others and continue to grow. Also surround yourself with good people. 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
I agree, swallowing mouthfuls of hormones isn't going to change everything. I agree you can feel your best with proper nutrition and exercise. And a terrific mindset.
I am 55 and have gone plant based too
I feel amazing
@Susie Nah.
@@lynnnelson6689 love all of this. I wish women would understand they the moment they start fillers and changing their faces, they actually appear older. We need to love and accept ourselves. Thank you for being kind. Have a remarkable day Lynn🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
@@rebeccayoung1833 agree🧡 at least for me! I have found as I as that each day is a gift. I won’t be drawn into the fear of aging, worrying I don’t have enough money or things. Just live in the moment. Blessings Rebecca 🍑🙌🏻🧡Lisa
Gosh, this was wonderful! I laughed, got tears in my eyes, and felt better about life afterward. You are so inspiring - especially when talking about your faith. Life can kick you right in the chops…we can wallow in it all, or we can pick up the pieces, learn from it, be grateful, and find a better way for ourselves. You are such a great example of how to shine in spite of it all. I just love you to pieces, and I thank you. ❤
“Whose life are you living?” SO profound and thought-provoking, Dominique! Thank you.
And thank you so much for mentioning the importance and joy of having animals in one’s life! I am 64 and a longtime animal rescuer. I would not want to live without the unconditional love and companionship I get from animals.
And to those who asked about reconnecting with life as a result of pandemic isolation, if you don’t yet feel comfortable being around a lot of humans, go volunteer at an animal shelter or rescue. Just sit on the floor and “be” with homeless cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs… whatever kind of animal with which you most connect. They are OUTSTANDING listeners! And they will make you belly laugh with their silly antics. They are good for the soul! Time spent with them-and Mother Nature in general-can be extremely impactful, rewarding… even educational. And who knows… you may come home with the best “mate” you’ve ever had in your life! 😉❤️
Great advice!!
2 years ago I was just a shadow of myself. Then a cat came to my life. This little amazing creature helped me regaining myself again … so: agree 100% ❤
🐾❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love your suggestion! I never had dogs growing up...at 42 I got 2 poodles and they have been such a beautiful addition to our family...they are so sweet, loveable, fun, funny and the unconditional love they provide is just a blessing!🐾❤️🐾🐩🐾❤️
Rescues are the best 🐾🐾. They save our lives as we save theirs 💙
I'm 69 and no kids not married.
Love my life helping animals but today diagnosed with severe arthritis so wont be able to help them as much. You helped me realizing just take one day at a time.
Dear Dominique,
I've watched you from the beginning. I was devastated when you shared that your marriage ended. I cried for you. Even though I am older than you, I looked at you as my mentor. Here we are, over a year ago when your life changed. I'm so pleased to see you smile and enjoying your new journey. You look beautiful and happy. We have all experienced challenges. I'm a cancer survivor and thank God above for all the blessings in my life; and there are many. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I'm internally greatful for your guidedance and your kindness. Love and light, Sarah from Boston🙏❤☀😘
Praise God for your victory over cancer. That awful disease took my beautiful sister in law and mother in law a year apart. Praying God keeps you healthy 🙏❤️
Dear Vicky,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your sister and mother-in-law from this dreaded desease. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for being cancer free. I still am terrified that it will rear it's ugly head. It's been 10 years. Please be diligent in check ups. If you even think something is wrong you get yourself to the doctors and get a mammogram. Be your own healthcare advocate! I will add you to my prayer list. We are so lucky to live in a day and age where science has improved in detecting problems at the get go. Please take good care of you! ~Sarah~
I like how you come across now...meaning after your career shift and your personal relationship and living situation shift. You seem so much more honest, approachable and ultimately free. That is so attractive, appealing and inspiring. Every time we see someone be the way we want to be, it gives us permission to do and be it ourselves. i know we shouldn't wait for someone else to be 'the first' but it doesn't hurt to have positive examples to draw from. i also like the casual style you are displaying. I am an actor... in Hollywood so I am always having to 'doll myself up' for work or auditions or just for meetings and when I am not in any of those situations I love wearing my yoga gear, put my hair in a ponytail and just wear sunscreen and some lip gloss and that's it. Let's make the best of 2023, no matter what comes with it or what its thrown at us form the outside. I believe we still have control over our mind, our focus and our inner life and Heart so here we go....
She came across just fine before 🙄
Dominique, Thank you for such a fun hour of girl talk. I felt like I was sitting cross legged in the chair in front of you. You’ve got this lady!!
I felt it also
Ditto here…down to earth girl talk at the end of the day.
Ditto! Hugs for 2023!🎉
You’ve always been so inspiring to me. I discovered you when you had about 200K followers and now you have almost 2M! I’m not American, so I didn’t know you at all but, from the first time a saw you, I loved your honesty, and your way of talking to us, as a good and thoughtful friend. You are still the same.
Thank you for this lovely chat 😘❤️
Sorry to hear your marriage is ending. That’s a big life change. Mine ended about 25 years ago with three small children and we all survived. I never remarried and I’ve been single for 25 years now.
This is not just a regular Q&A. It’s a sincere inspirational and motivational video I will watch again.
Thank you Dominique❤
So will I.
I too have been through 2 divorces and you're right, no matter what the circumstance they are painful. I also had a 5 year relationship end last year this time, we never married. I was so down, it was more painful than my divorces. I reconnected with a friend from high school this past May by divine intervention 🙂and we are very much in love . Who would've thought and he helped me find my first Jeep also! I love it so much, it makes me happy to drive it. I say all that to say life has a way of working out even when you think it won't. I turn 57 today and this is the happiest I have been in a very long time. Love your content and all that you bring to your subscribers. Many blessings to you.💚
Thank you so much for affirming my decisions to have a backbone and to end toxic friendships and relationships at the end of 2022. It made me so uneasy, but the thought of going into another year unhappy and suffering for the sake of others wasn't going to cut it. The beginning of 2023 has been somber and even lonely, but you reminded me the other side of this positive decision is just around the corner.
I was happy to hear you say you don't feel pressure to be married again. That seems healthy. I also think it will resonate with many that home ownership is not the be-all-end-all. Happy that you are happy with your retirement, and that your mom is doing well.
I inherited a house and I can't wait to get rid of it. I'm single and 60 so to me, it's just a burden in many ways, especially financial. Home ownership is vastly overrated.
I’m single and much happier than when I was married
You mention prayer, embracing new phases in life, gratitude, and seeing dark times as a season in life. As I go through cancer treatments, this rings so true! Thank you for speaking to us on such a personal level.
I admire your willingness to be asked questions & your graceful way of answering the questions while maintaining your dignity & privacy. 💗
I’m surprised that people asked her why her marriage came apart. That’s no one’s business and I wouldn’t dream of asking someone that, even someone I know well. People always amaze me…….😱
So many things I love about this video but my favorites are how close you and your mom are, that you shoot and edit your own videos, and your positivity! Thank you! 💝
Great video - I’m 70 and feel 48. As my Mom told us to “think young and keep moving”. You seem happy and moving forward with your life in a very positive way. Life in the present and be open is my attitude.
All the questions were answered with a lot of class while still keeping the content! Well done Dominique!! ❤
Thank you for always being so authentically you, Dominique. I’m a 33 yo Scottish woman who aspires to be the type of woman you absolutely are: graceful, classy, and beautiful inside & out! Your content is so wholesome and I really appreciate you taking the time to put such effort into each and every video you produce.
The look on your face when you said how much you love your new apartment was wonderful, even life affirming. Having watched you for years, through good times & grotty ones, that moment made me see that your joie de vivre was alive & well. I have always been a day at a time girl & keep a happiness tin that I fill with notes about anything that has made me happy or contented in a day; on NYE it's very interesting to look back at the year, most of the notes are about nature & also the little things in life that I believe are actually the big ones. Wishing you a positive 2023.
I do the same thing on NYE! It’s a wonderful ritual. 😊
This was one of your best videos. You're so no-nonsense and genuine. Appreciate ya!
I really like how you deal with anxiety by praying and doing things that get you out of your head at the moment. That is key to peace. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you Dominique for opening up about so much in a classy manner. That is what drew me to you three years ago- your classy style yes- but more so , your way of presenting yourself & your honesty. We love your videos & hope you have the best year ever. P.S. The sun setting as you filmed this seems so perfect. Beautiful.
That's sweet of you to say.. thank you!
Dear Dominique, watching your videos feels like being with a dear, wise friend. Thank you for being brave enough to share your faith and to be authentically you. You give me hope that it is possible to grow old with grace and to still look good in your 50s and beyond. I am now 43. Love from South Africa. (By the way,I think you would love an African safari! There is something about an African sunset that is just indescribable.)
I feel like I just had girl time with a dear friend! You are so open and honest with your answers and it’s so appreciated. Sometimes it has to be hard as you go thru your own issues but there is no doubt that you were meant to do this! You’ve covered topics and given food for thought that makes a difference. You radiate positivity and yet keep it honest and real. I’ve been on your channel for awhile now and I always receive something from watching you. I hope 2023 brings you continued contentment in your life. You do look happy!
Dominique, you are forever a class act. You are a mentor for us all as you remind us to embrace our femininity, poise, faith and mature outlook. May 2023 be wonderful for us all!
I agree. She’s fun to watch.
Hi Dominique. I loved your answer to the question about anxiety and how you remedy that. You replied "pray." I recite the Lord's prayer over and over, along with deep breathing, and at times when I'm feeling extremely stressed I'll hold my Bible close to my heart, and recite the Lord's prayer. I try to do that every night when I go to bed, but more often than not I fall asleep before I finish 😄. It always always calms me down. God Bless you in the new year. 🙏❤
Dearest Dominique. Firstly, I want to thank you for making my life richer and more comforting for being here. I look to you as an older sister (only 5 years difference to be precise! ). You always make me feel better. I'd just like to say that I'm so happy that you are in such a different place in this video than one of last year, which saddened me at the time, but I know is all part of life. Nevertheless it's wonderful to see you happy and omg when you said you were dating someone I nearly fell off my chair! hahaha. Sooooo, sooo happy for you and lucky guy! Lots of love xx
Such a helpful tip Dominique - "what can I do today?" - rather than looking at the longterm, which always seems overwhelming.
Love your LOVE for GOD! When you said God inspires you I literally got tears in my eyes! Love you girl! ❤️You’re so articulate and well spoken! The comment of journalism and you believing in true journalism and truth telling, balance and presenting both sides is very well said! 👏👏 It’s sad what we hear now with one sided journalism. You definitely stayed true to yourself and your beliefs! 💖Hope you have an awesome 2023! ❤️
I too got teary-eyed when I heard you say that God inspires you. Thank you for your videos. They always give me so much hope.
This q&a was absolutely beautiful. So many parts, you challenged me: how to conduct myself in the workplace and not isolate, not isolating or sitting on the sidelines of life, giving others (& myself) grace, as well as other helpful things you shared. I can relate to what you said about the perfectionism and how that affected other areas and relationships you had and how you had to kind of retrain yourself about how you do authentic, loving relationships. It hit my heart. Dominique, I pray that this year is a year that God floods your heart to overflowing with all of your generosity and care that you have given others. Thank you for sharing 😊❤🙏
Loved this. Knowing what you've really been going through (via friends) makes this special. You have strength, courage, dignity, without sharing your deep hurt, betrayal and vulnerability is a huge credit to you xxx love who you are and what you are doing. Truly believe 2023 is going to be your year xx
I love that you are loyal to those who are and are not in your life. You don’t feel the need to share your everything and i honor that. I would love to hear how you knew it was time to make a change in your life. I think those decisions are so hard considering your son and others who might be hurt. I think we all have a process to make hard decisions but often put them off for a long time. We don’t need to know why you made the decision but how you knew it was time. If that is not too personal.
I do appreciate your sincerity and openness to share so many aspects of your life. I have learned so much from your videos! ❤
Thank you.. I believe God speaks to us at certain times in our lives, and it's more than a calling, but an urging.
I really admire what you said about your reason for leaving your job, that you believe in truth in journalism and not opinion journalism. I respect you for taking a stand for your belief in honesty and truth.
I am still in contact with my son's first wife. They were high school sweethearts, he was head over heels from day one. She wasn't so much. He joined the Army, eventually went SF, which meant 6 month deployments every year. She wanted kids, he didn't want to be an absent father. They ended up divorced, but friendly. She remarried and has 3 kids! Beautiful kids! He remarried, and they have none and won't. My reasoning is that they wanted different things from life. Unfortunately, they found out too late that they wanted different things. I would no sooner expect her to give up her dreams of life than I would him. So they split, amicably, and are still friendly to each other. She has a new husband and three kids that are her life. She's a great mom! He has a new wife and the freedom to pick up and go when they want! Win/win in my mind. It's sad that a love story didn't work out, but splitting and going after your dreams is sooooo much healthier than sticking it out for public opinion.
"IN the Day Thinking" is probably the most pertinent mode of thinking I can imagine. So applicable to any phase of life and never heard it til now...my new mantra. BRAVA!
What a lady. Class act all the way. Every video from you I take something away from it. I better myself in beauty and as a person. Thank you. I hope one day to meet you in person. Hugs and kisses from Mexico. Please give Audrey my best.
Will do! Thanks so much..
I was just bulldozed by my narcissistic sister & by chance, I listened to this video, pls know it lifted my spirits & helped me feel stronger.
Just switched to you halfway through Norah O’Donnell’s 30 minute interview of an expert on emotions, author of endless books saying the same thing.feeling blah’d and disinterested. 5 minutes with you here and…we are live! Thank you for providing real depth, substance, compassionate can-do! 💐
Love love love what you do Dominique. For years my best friend and I watched and talked about your tutorials, your recommendations and your ENCOURAGEMENT! My friend just went to heaven on Sunday after a long cancer battle - I am shattered but happy she’s out of pain. She and I always said Dominique needs to be a motivational speaker and she asked me to tell you that…so I’m telling you, DO IT GIRL! I will buy the first ticket! Thank you for what you do ❤
Thank you so much for your candid talk about your personal life, I feel privileged to have heard these words from you. I've been feeling a bit low lately & I'm determined Not to succumb to Depression again. I need to listen to your honest & practical advice through telling your life history. I love your approach, the best one is 'Taking one day at a time'. That's such a good one & also you talk about the love of a dog. I have two toy poodles, they are a huge part of my life, their unconditional love is so pure. I love them so much & they bring me joy. You've mentioned so many good points & I need to start looking after myself & take your advice. Thank you so much for sharing your personal thoughts, you've given me the kick in the backside I needed. You're a lovely lady, You deserve All good wishes for 2023. God Bless you & yours. 💖🇬🇧
Many have thanked you and shared their stories relating to your journey.
I might be a bit tardy in watching your Q&A however, I believe God is in control and places you where and when for your good and growth,and, that’s exactly how I feel.
I relate to so much of what you’ve shared and how you’ve CHOSEN to use it for good, exactly what God intended.
It’s been many years for me. Years of pain, love, joy, forgiving, praying, being Still, surrendering control (whew that’s a biggie) and now I’m happy to say, I’m enjoying the blessings God has placed in my life and I understand it ALL comes from Him. Learning what I needed to learn to get to this place of joy through the storms and continued growth is the goal- inner peace. I want to say to you Miss Dominique, you shine. Your growth and inner peace shows and His light shines through you!!! I’m hooked on your channel lol I thank you for your love of people, your grace and poise through the muck, your transparency and I pray you continue on Gods path with courage, strength, joy and discernment and that you continue to lead by example, It’s the only way through the heartbreak and hurt and to use our testimony to help others. Blessings, Liz from Long Island, NY. (A yankee with a southern heart lol) ❤🙏
Dominique, I can relate to you on so many levels. I love your transparency yet maintaining privacy all in the right ways. You’re an amazing role model for women of all ages. How did you meet your new man? You should do a video on that. I’ve been single for 11 yrs and am open to meeting someone as a companion. I’m 64 and am financially self sufficient but miss having someone in my life.
Someone I met many, many years ago who reached out when he heard about my life changes.
Long ago I read “ A reason, A season A Lifetime” I think everyone should have this at hand, it totally made sense when changes happened with people around me. It is very powerful! Thank you Dominique for you reflection, your honesty and your ability to hold onto your integrity when it came to answering questions. You have the grace that we all seek. 💕
Positivity is a choice. I love your focus on gratitude! Seek what is that you have and celebrate it!!
Dominique, I have followed you for a couple of years and I really enjoy your channel and this episode was really special. I am a few years older than you and still work full time and sometimes after a long day at work I am exhausted. I like how you emphasize the importance of healthy eating, proper skin care and exercise even at times when one is really tired. This is going to be my goal in the New Year. I really look forward to your Thursday messages!
Thank You Dominique for sharing some of your life updates with us, I totally enjoyed listening to you, you’ve been through a lot over the years by the sounds of it and you’ve definitely come out on the other side a better person who can tackle just about anything life throws at you, I have to say that your Mum is Wonderful for her age, she’s the same age as my Mum who has early stages of Dementia and she’s ready to go into a nursing home (her decision) for the past 12 months I’ve been her only caregiver and doing everything for her, showering her, cooking her meals so that I know she’s eating healthy, taking her to Drs appointments, you name it, I’ve been doing it, all for her and in the process, Getting Abused and She’s So Ungrateful for everything I do for her, Your Very Blessed to have an independent Mumma, I wouldn’t know what that’s like. Audrey is a Doll and a Very Special Lady, Hang Onto That. Happy New Year to You, Styles and Audrey, Wishing You All a Wonderful 2023. Best Wishes from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺…Maybe a visit down under can be on your bucket list of travels for this year, we have the best sandy beaches in the world. ❤️❤️❤️🌊🌊🌞🌞💐💐
I was in the same place at 55 - very into myself and my world and my family around me as well as my work. Now that I am 65 I am starting to look to circumstances of others in the world around me and looking for a way that I can use my talents to help make things better for others.
I love your hair when it is in a bob. It is amazing all the things you can do with your hair.
I really love the Q&A hour, I hope this become a monthly segment! I alone can fill it with questions for the next 4 months
I am with you on being grateful & organization & faith. All 3 have gotten me through alot in my 52 years! Also, very grateful for your content!! 🙏
Good Sunday, Dominique! Hope you made it through the scary rains and tornadoes last night. Here to say "Houston & the world LOVES & appreciates you." Wishing you, your son & mom a wonderfully, blessed 2023. Huge Houston Hugs, LeDon xx
I love listening to you. It's like listening to a good friend. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
It’s wonderful to see you get so excited talking about your Mother. You two appear to have a very special bond. Very blessed.
I love your communication approach, you always convey crucial concepts with calm, warmth and clarity
Happy New Year and big hug from Italy 🤗🤗
Happy new year! Thanks for your kind note..
OMG, I needed this. You're just such a positive soul. Your advice and wisdom has helped me in my career and at home. Thank you. Please keep doing what you are doing!
You make me happy! I watched this intently. I loved most of the questions and I think you touched on one of mine about growing your hair out and the future color of it. The way you handle intrusive questions is remarkable. You handled them with dignity, grace and respect, but first and foremost, respect to yourself, keeping in mind that there are other people in the equation, and they don't deserve to be treated without grace and respect. Anyone who tunes in to you each week as I do, knows that you've gone through a life change and at this point it should stay at that. You inspire me and there are things you say and how you express yourself that make me smile because we are very similar. You carry yourself with no ego and that is who I am. As far as narcissists and friendships who no longer serve you, well, that tapped right into my life. I've had friendships that no longer served me (one of them being a narcissist when I was a teenager), and I removed myself. By the way, we happen to love the same music (I'm a huge George Michael fan and still mourn his passing). Perhaps I see many similarities when watching you because I am 56, turning 57 next month and I am proud of how far I've come. I, too, have one child, a daughter who will be 18 at the end of this month, and I couldn't agree more with what you laid out about parenting. My slogan has always been that there is no instruction manual, but the things that I wanted from my own parents, I will now impart to my own child. Thank you, Dominique, for the most inspiring video. I love all of them, but this one told me so much more and reached me more in so very many ways. Much respect and love from this fan! Thank you! Elena
I agree with you Dominique 100% communication is the key for any relationship whether its parent/ spouse any relationship. It solves 1000 problems
You are a very strong lady, despite the obvious personal challenges you have faced! You are an inspiration 😍
Thank you for this! I’m 70 (a young 70!). I’d love to at least share what I found out about my skin (autoimmune) because what I did from age 50-60 was unhelpful for my body, skin, immunity etc. But at my present age I’m “re-coupling” my health and relationships. You are helping me so much. Thank you.
Dominique, your video truly touched my heart on so many levels. ♥ I love what you shared about perfectionism because I think I've struggled with this all of my life trying to live up to what my family, husband, and even friends expected from me and not once, stopping to say, what do I want to do and why can't I just simply be myself, mistakes, wrong turns, and all! I've had quite a year too, with my best friend dying suddenly and my dear mother passing away as well, plus in 2021, my husband passed away and my younger brother, so the heartaches just keep coming but I pray to God that I can find self acceptance and know that things will get better one day at a time. Thank you so much for many of your heartfelt and honest answers to questions that many of us wonder about in our own lives.....you are a beautiful lady and may you have a blessed and very happy and healthy 2023.
L, I send you strength and blessings from above.🫶
Yes! I just had to say thank you for telling people you're thankful for your dog. So many people in our area (Houston Tx) seem to think pets are disposable "things" they get rid of in various manners, most of which are terrible for said pet. People when you take a pet into your care, they are a commitment for the life of the pet. Thank you.
This segment revealed the true Domenique - a determined, smart, and most importantly, supremely spiritual woman. Your philosophy of life is the role model,
I, too share. Wishing you and your family good health and the happiness you so richly deserve.
I don't remember when I started watching u but it was when u were doing skin care and hair styles. I ALWAYS thought u were a beautiful lady. I came out of an abusive relationship so watching u made me think how I could do things for myself for myself. FATHER GOD brought me through and when u were asked the question WHO INSPIRES YOU" u said GOD. I could see the Honesty in that. HE inspires me too. Your videos haven't been showing up on my phone so I was surprised this one did today. Thank u for being GENUINE.. there's beauty that goes deep about u. A woman of God
Thank you for always being so real, Dominique! It’s such a breath of fresh air to watch someone who isn’t pretending that looking great, and feeling great don’t take effort. You are a blessing!
Late to this video, but going through some major life changes right now. 66, widowed for 10 years and totally disappointed with the whole dating pool right now. So, selling my house this Spring and moving to France for a minimum of one year. I love your outlook on life. You are never too old to reinvent yourself!
I just turned 68. Was single and dated a lot for 15 years. In 2021, met Mr. Right through a dating sight and we married last August. Keep trying!
I love how honest you are and the way you respect other people 💕
Wow!! Rent was less?? For this fantastic, beautiful ,just stunning place!!!!! You are so blessed!! And your Mom is there too!!
God truly has blessed you. I know you have been through some real stuff this past year. But you are my inspiration to go through. Just keep going. . Thank you so very much for everything ❤️ 🙏
I am inspired by you and how you are honest with your imperfections and hurt but still have grace and positivity. God is blessing us with your love and honesty.
Thank you! 😊
Dominique, I watched this when you first posted it and rewatching it now, after what you've been through recently, part of me wishes you could have been protected from the new pain you've recently faced, but I do believe your mom is with you now, closer than ever, and guiding you. For those who ask about the process of divorce looking for guidance, my "inspiration" during mine was Princess Diana. We both married at the same age, around the same time actually, and when she had the COURAGE to go through such a brutal and public divorce, she gave me the courage to do it myself. Sometimes we need people to look to for the inspiration and courage, with the knowledge that if you got through it, so can we. And I will forever remember Diana for that, as some may thank you for your inspiration. We fans of yours all appreciate your honestly and respect. Love your videos and so darn happy for you. Divorce is brutal, let's be honest, no matter what the circumstances. But EVERYONE is "entitled" to be happy and fulfilled. You owe it to yourself and your children to have that, for everybody's sake. Nobody gets a medal when they get to the pearly gates for allowing themselves to be treated like a doormat, or for being a martyr. Where there is a will, there IS a way, and praying to God helps to provide that. God bless you and all those here who are going through difficulties.
Ceron is PHENOMENAL!! He has always given you the very best looks. The way he not only styles your hair, but how he mixes colors in your hair is breathtakingly AMAZING. He is a TRUE ARTIST! If he were my stylist, I would not go to anyone else!
I *also* think Dominique knows what she wants, what looks good on her and what to ask for! I think ppl take those things for granted, but I don’t have those things! lol so, I end up frustrated, but it’s in part my fault bc I need to know what to ask for!! Dominique takes ownership of her style. Just had to give a shout out to her for that bc it’s a huge element of that relationship with a stylist! ❤❤
Sorry I disagree that Ceron is a phenomenal hairdresser. He gave Audrey "hot roots" (means brighter then the ends) and spaghetti like highlights in one of the videos. He didn't think it through and was probably full of himself to correct it. :(
@@janal.3361 hey! So, can you give me advice on that? If you ask the stylist to correct a problem with color, should they do that at no cost? And what if they put you off for a month or more to do so??
@@Deelitee If the color is pretty, but you don't like it on you, the hairdresser usually tells you to sleep on it and come back in a week or so. You might actually like it as you get used to it. But if there is something wrong with the color, then the colorist should fix it right then. You can tone the hair etc. Audrey's roots were "hot" (red) and the highlights were over bleached. Ceron should have corrected the roots with another color to counteract the red and tone the highlights so they don't look like spaghetti.
@@janal.3361 it’s too brassy. He’s done it before too! :| he canceled on me to fix it bc he was sick and is just now able to see me. It was originally done in October!
I so loved this Q n A video! I have wanted to do TH-cam videos myself but have been scared a little. Scared that I will sound silly or not make sense. You are really unfurling and it's an honor to be on the journey with you. Blessings and Love.
The Best 55 minutes I spend on TH-cam thank you so much ❤️ for your time all the best for 2023 as all ways is a pleasure to see you every Thursday I don't miss your videos abslutly love it ❤️💃🙏🙏
Wow, thank you!
completely agree
I love HRT - been on it for 25 years. Thank you for this q&a. It’s great to know you’re happy. Take care ❤
I loved this so much that I will watch again. Thank you Dominique for being the person you are.
Just wanted to say, THANK YOU FOR BEING AUTHENTICALLY YOU! God bless.
What a meaningful, honest, inspiring video!!! I super love the woman that you are! So authentic and down to earth. So glad I found you! You inspire me❤
When you said that you were dating, that made me chuckle when I was riding down the road and it made me think that I’m just really happy for you.
Oh my what a refreshing breath of beautiful air you are Dominique! As a peri menopausal woman of 48 there are few women that I can relate to. You are inspiring, beautiful, graceful, full of wisdom and I learn so much from watching your videos. Thank you from Toronto, Canada 🙏🤗❤️
Your answer about 2022. Was very moving to me. So very simple but such truth.
You are my age and you look amazing. Thank you for sharing your private life. We all go through things and we all get stronger. I like the way I turned out and glad to say I’m enjoying life even when my life is chaotic. I’m still married and my husband and I are stronger than ever. Marriage is never easy and sometimes it takes a lot of work. We have two adult children, one of them is struggling with life and it has challenged our marriage. I just hope we can survive this. You are an inspiration to all of us. You are beautiful inside and out. Keep making videos to inspire us
My Mom is in an assisted living facility. Best thing she did! She is very active at 82 and has a boyfriend. They are like teenagers and I love it!! Audrey is so fun!
I appreciate your honesty and respect for others when you share. Aging has been a process and trying to stay in gratitude for all I have. Covid changed so much for all of us and it’s been difficult to try to stay active outside of the home. Friends just recently contacted Covid in a restaurant and visiting in a rehab. Makes us a little more cautious.😢
I have to say I totally honor and respect how vulnerable you have been in this video..
This was such an amazing video! Thank you so much for your wealth of information. You have helped so many women and I for one appreciate what you do so much. May 2023 be your best year yet! ❤
I admire and respect women like you that deal with life challenges with such grace and endurance. I definitely think we younger women have much to learn♥️ best wishes for this year
I would love to just sit out on your balcony and and chat❤️ You have a way of calming and reassuring people….. What a gift! I’ve enjoyed every question that was ask and your answers! Happy New Year 🎆
Oh my gosh all of what you said. Calming and reassuring, I feel this too-
I was happy. I was sad. I learned. I laughed. I cried.
Thank You for sharing your wisdom.
All the Best.
Terri
That was my favorite video of the year😉 and in general! You are so authentic 👍🏼🙏thank you ❤
Dear Dominique, you don't know me but I remember you from my med school days back in Houston 2 decades ago. I remembered coming home exhausted and unsettled from school and on rare occasion turning the tv on to hope to fall asleep and seeing your bright and calming presence and noticing your beauty as well. I thought you were a rising star back then but wouldn't have known more than 2 decades later that your star is really rising now...I wish you all the happiness and recovery in the world. I know what it means to have feelings of anxiety and trauma from an external source or situation that you could never imagine you would find yourself in. Thank you for validating feelings that you shouldn't stay in settings that dont serve you (for pure minded people). Gentle hug for a pure minded woman. Be safe and well...Ps go wear a white shirt and eat pasta at Grottos or La Griglia and get it on you shirt (like I would ;)) and enjoy the imperfection of days savoring life..:)
Loved this Q&A! Lost my husband in October 2021. We were married for 50 years and I have no interest in dating or getting married again. I’m 71, enjoy my time with friends and family. Love the chair. Is it comfortable? I may order it! ❤️
Coconut oil can cause break outs for some people. Best moisturizer for anybody is beef tallow! It won't cause breakouts and you can use it anywhere. I make my own foot cream with it. Add essential oils to make it smell great!
Absolutely loved watching this video, even my husband stopped watching the TV to watch! You truly inspire me and I love your honesty. I take so much from your content and want to thank you x
I took pellets when going through the change! After a few years, I developed endometrial cancer! Since caught early, complete hysterectomy was my only treatment as well as yearly check up! I am thankful! Be careful!!! Love you being a part of my life. I’m 79!
Thank you for the encouragement! Love the backdrop of the sun going down in Houston. And thank you for sharing your life. The ups and downs. Can't wait to see Miss Audrey's place. She is one of a kind!
I truly respect the fact that you respect the privacy of others and yourself. You’re not obligated to answer personal questions that get too personal. You answer many questions about yourself and your lifestyle, what works, what doesn’t work for you personally. That doesn’t mean that the same applies to everyone but it certainly could apply to most if we give it a try. Thank you for being you which is one dignified lady. I’ve known very few in my life but you definitely are one.
I will look into some of the other videos that pertain to items that I am interested in.
I’m very happy that your mother lives close to you and I’m sure she is too.
Thank you for a very nice video.
Love and prayers, V
I respect the heck out of your strong boundaries and respect for others. Sad to say that feels rare in today's day and age. Yet you maintain your youthful enthusiasm it's uplifting!
You and your mother both deserve wonderful partners. No doubt about it. But que sera sera, so much to be enjoyed in life regardless. God bless! ♥️
