YOU are my new favorite person Diana. The advice you give in these three "changes over 45" videos is epic. I get such an honest, real person vibe from you. So refreshing. And you are uniquely beautiful. No "same face" here.
I’m late to the game, I started to make changes to myself in my 70’s and now at 74, I am constantly getting compliments and feeling better about myself. Taking time to dress smartly, I grew out my hair, letting it go it’s natural gray, wearing less makeup, just as you suggest. Thank you so much for your inspirational videos.
Me too! I feel so good about myslef the best I have ever felt in my life. I see now I really was very pretty young....I didnt FEEL it though. I focused on my flaws. Ting things no one else noticed...fat deposits inside my thighs ridiculous things. I had a good fit body. I didnt dress well. I dressed as a professional later. Now I really take care of myself. Retinoids oh boy I LOVE Tretinoin...not a Rx where I live, $20 US bi monthly on face, neck, hands.$140 a year amd I look 15 years younger...says my dermatologist who makes not a penny on it because it isnt Rx where I live! People remark about my skin constantly. I dress well. Where Impive abroad boho is my style and I bUy it all used imported from the USA. There is one shop in my town exclusively boho and I do buy new outfits Karma Rd brand l9ve them skirts and tops in Spring colors ...my colors.
Always take more trips! Domestic, international, or local. I live in a large city with an expansive metro system. Occasionally, I'll carve out 4-6 hours and head to a metro stop I've never been to. I'll do little research in advance so as to experience it naturally. Typically I have a meal there, walk around, look for art, parks, unique features, and other fun. It refreshes my perspective and takes little time and has no risk.
I"m a 47 year old woman and so very happy to have found your channel. You are so down to earth, funny, real and gorgeous! Taking some of your advice has become an integral part of my self care routine. Truly. Thank you for creating this wonderful content!
Such fun! This is an amazing collection of wisdom and common sense. Thank you for sharing. You really do look great and happy and full of joy. So wise. Bravissima!
Brava! I LOVED your suggestions that I can use at age 72! I would add, and try to do often is, SMILE! As our faces 'drop' a little, keeping a smile on your face, just makes everyone happier and maybe even better looking! I live in a place where people are OK with someone smiling, where most of us enjoy and appreciate a little aloha! Thoughts of things we are grateful for, or enjoy in life, gives us a reason to smile and can bring ones whole attitude/vibration up. You don't have to look like a crazed person, but one who looks like they hold the secrets of the Universe inside, and are digging every moment! Thanks for all YOU do to bring some fun and beauty into our lives!
Thank you! I do believe in the power of smiling! I think our faces droop a lot because we're not using them, staring at screens all day instead of talking face to face with others! I think face yoga works but I haven't been able to add it to what I do!
I enjoy so many of your videos, but I think this 3-part series is some of your best work to date. Heartfelt and really useful advice for anyone facing a big change in life. Brava!
I've just binge watched your videos for over an hour and I absolutely love you. You are so refreshing and funny. You look amazing and are a real inspiration.....I'm off to do my micro needling and get some sleep😍
I loooove your channel name 😊that's exactly how I have been feeling since 2020 😒 just blah!! Everything is blah. The world definitely has been a bit less friendly lately thinking about the pandemic, economy or the crazy climate but I think it's not just that. It's like the pandemic had a much longer term effect on our psyche... I feel we all could be a bit more positive or just less worried. all of us need to unblah no matter your age. It's like even when things aren't actually bad I just can't enjoy things. The opposite of rose coloured glasses. It's very annoying 🙄 and I'm struggling to get out of it
It's why I started this channel! So many women were telling me they felt "blah" so I thought about it for a while. I found that most of us can get out of "blah" by making conscious decisions to connect with others and to think about our second half of life with a more adventurous spirit. The pandemic caused us all to communicate through screens and that allowed people to be more direct, rude and mean to each other. Unfortunately I think that's carried over to real life now. The only answer I have is to regularly reach out to people with compassion and love. IDK if that's always possible, but I think it doesn't hurt to try.
Your skin glows- whatever you’re doing, it’s right! And this hairstyle (and a shorter one I’ve seen in another video) suit you really well… inspiring video. I’m in my late 40’s and it’s definitely time to start incorporating a lot of these things!
I was on vacation for few days and slept so much better 👀 I couldn't even really explain why. I was falling asleep more easily and woke up earlier feeling more rested. It makes such a difference to your day... I definitely was more relaxed in the evening. But if I think about it there is no real reason why I shouldn't be equally relaxed now. Its frustrating
I'm sure there's so much that goes into our daily routines that affects us at levels we're not even consciously detecting. It's frustrating when we can't get the sleep we want. The only thing I have control over is to not watch terrifying things before bed so I do that!
Hi Diana! I would love to see you make a video about your views on femininity. ❤ You dress so lovely, fun, and feminine; and I think you speak in such a thoughtful and encouraging manner. Thank you for your 3-part series on changes you made from “45 to 46.”
Hee, hee. Hair and tweezers! My older sister always kept tweezers in her car because she said she could better see what she was doing. I never really bothered with my brows because they were “good” and I was completely satisfied. Now I am 71 and most of my brows are white! Sometimes I put brow makeup on them, but it doesn’t matter to me at all. However, the biggest shock has been how my hair rebels against me. I have Hashimoto’s disease so my hair is getting thinner but evil hairs pop up everywhere else that I don’t want them. Chin, neck, face for starters. My eyes have gotten much worse, so I don’t always see the little buggers. I love what my hair looks like nowadays, past my shoulders and mostly silver, grey and still some dark brown. It also sometimes gets mischievous and is straight and looks like angel hair, other times I wake up with waves and ringlets. I am enjoying it immensely. I watch a lot of Chinese fantasy movies and want to have long streaky hair like the heroes/heroines in them. LOL However, I have slipped into the frumpy/comfortably numb mode re: what I have been habitually wearing. I love that your videos have gotten me interested in my appearance once again. I am shopping my closet and thrifting for better looks to get into my artistic French girl persona. Hee, hee. Every time you say Queen Baddies I think you are saying Queen “Batties!” 👩🏻🎨👍
I tried the Elf face primer that you recommended and I’m in love!! It makes my foundation go on so much more smoothly & my skin just feels good. I’m going to order some of your other recommended skin care products. Thank you!
I missed the first 2 parts of this series, I'm going to watch them now. Great tips 😁👍. I definitely need to start doing some more strengthening and balance exercises. I seldom wear makeup, but I agree on looking after your skin. Have you tried the Ordinary AHA30%+BHA2%peeling solution? You use it twice a week, it looks like you have smeared blood on your face 😱 but your skin looks fantastic afterwards 😊.
Oh my gosh, these are REAL tips, subtle, . . . but not. Thank you very much! Great job keeping it real and simple. Love that what you talk about encourages more LIVING . . . FOR YOURSELF! Very inspiring!
I think it's important to find make that just suits you. Your colouring, undertones and eye shape. For example I have light grey green eyes and hooded eyes + being fair, there are quite a few not brown eye colours that look beautiful /complementary on my lid like all kinds of greens, cool purples, peaches and warm pinks. They don't look too much or over the top because they either blend in with my eyes or make my eyes glow green and having hooded eyes you don't see most of my lid. On the other hand darker or mid tone browns that look gorgeous and soft on brown eyes look very made up on me as they look even darker on my very light eyes. A lot of people don't pay proper attention to their undertones or eye colours IMO and both are very important to how any eye make up looks on you. E.g. If you are very cool toned a black mascara could look very nice and youthful on you and brown may wash you out or even bring out redness. For me black mascara never looks harsh because of my cool toned eyes, it makes my eyes more vibrant
I have become very interested in color season analysis lately and you're completely correct! I'd really like to get my colors done professionally but I feel like I'm in the weird neutral zone between soft summer and soft autumn so I go back and forth between cool and warm eye colors depending on what I want to look like. Hooded eyes are an interesting thing to talk about as well. Mine are slightly hooded so winged eyeliner is tricky! Eyeshadow is great for hooded eyes, you just have to bring it up higher so it can be seen.
