Are These Mistakes Making You Look Older?

Dear viewer.
Leave it to me to record a video about looking older than you really are with lipstick on my teeth! Oy! I'm so sorry about that. Did you also notice that one of my sleeves was unbuttoned? Oh my goodness! Well, I guess these little mistakes serve to keep me humble. But I do apologize for the unprofessionalism. ~ XXOX, Kay

I love how you laugh at yourself and tell stories about little mistakes that you’ve made. It makes you so likable.

Good posture is something that I’m very conscious of in myself. When I see stooped or slouchy posture in others, I immediately think “old”. It’s something I work on daily.

(Melanie here) The best thing about being my age is having grandchildren and rediscovering interests that I didn't have the time or money for when we were raising our kids.

[BB-nrsm]

I agree. I am 81 and have collarbone length still naturally brown hair. The cut is intentional, and a ponytail looks great on me.

[CathyJohnson-tibx]

Great points, I always tell my kids I don’t mind getting older I just don’t want to look old. Thanks for keeping us current

[janismcbroom]

I LOVE your philosophy about aiming to look modern, not younger!

[LynnFronk]

Just sayin...YOU are my favorite influencer! Thank you for representing us all so well! Class, beauty, smarts and a heart for JESUS! You have it all going on!

Saw your video for the first time, love it! Such practical advice. I am 90 and have younger friends, golf and social as well. They keep me up on what’s current and I have always tried to be “with it” growing up. No one believes my age and I am so grateful for good genes and a healthy lifestyle!

You look gorgeous in that blouse! I enjoyed your hair demonstration. I actually loved it best before the flat iron when it was full and natural. You’re fortunate to have great hair and have so many beautiful choices.

A great video, as always! Many years ago I had my colors done by color one associate. I was told we can all wear every color, but not every shade of every color. For myself, I have to stay with cooler shades, and steer away from very dark and very light colors, seeking mid tones. I’d love to see a future video on the subject of appropriate colors for different skin tones. I’m 74 and love your informative daily emails and your weekly video. Thank you so much.

Hi Kay! 👋 I loved this video! My favorite thing about being almost 55 yrs old is I've learned what is & isn't important. When I was younger, I was wound pretty tight and stressed over every little thing. Now I've learned what is & isn't worth it!
I really enjoyed seeing you style your hair. It looks great!

[jenniferwittke]

I LOVE your haircut, Kay!!!
It frames your face beautifully and looks pretty and natural!

[handy]

Kay, I love the way your hair looks straight right after you used the defuser. You should consider wearing it like that. You look beautiful!

[donnaallgaier-lamberti]

I have always loved your hair style - it always looks fresh and stylish. For most of my life I wore my hair long and often in a ponytail or single braid for convenience. Then I found out that I was aging myself with that long hair so I am now wearing my hair chin length. I am fortunate at age 73 to have thick hair and I have let it go silver and LOVE it that way. ALSO love the puffer black vest with black slacks. I live in Michigan and we get cold and windy here. I often wear my navy blue light weight Land's End vest with blue jeans and a pretty blouse for a polished and casual look esp. when i go to our senior center for lunch with friends. This come in several colors and I plan to buy a burgundy vest soon.

I had my colors done in my 30’s and I was considered an Autumn. Today in my late 60’s I’m now a Calm Autumn. Much more muted colors but similar. I know what you mean about shopping at one store. I’m sure at times I look like a Talbots ad! But I do try to find items within that store that I can use in multiple ways. As a true petite, choices can be a bit more limited. My favorite thing about aging is the freedom it allows me. Another great video Kay!❤

You have the absolute prettiest 'grey hair" that I have ever seen. Honestly until you said it was gray I didn't realize it was, so healthy and youthful looking! Also the colors you are wearing today are perfect for you and the lipstick, perfection!

[scrappylifter]

I'm rocking a short Pixie cut so my hair doesn't move. 😆 I get a lot of compliments on it, I think, because my hair is gray and it looks surprising with the short cut. You made a good point about not purchasing clothes from only one store. I bought a leopard print top that is beige, light pink and hot pink. I think having the print in an unexpected color is fun. Thanks for your gentle reminders for us to avoid the visual traps.

79 yo & have used Better not Younger products for a couple years. Absolutely the best for my hair. I now have full looking hair! Love it!!

[alisonschooley]

Always inspiring, reminding me to put in just a bit of effort. I recently visited an older relative who use to never go out without makeup, now not so much. I think we can all get stuck in a rut/wearing a uniform, but just a bit of pizazz gives you a lift and that attitude change makes the difference. A nod to trends(maybe a scarf) keeps you current, just like a touch of red that was mentioned.

[maggieswmi]

Almost 82. The best thing about this age, rarely being greatly concerned about what anyone else thinks. Having said that, I do enjoy hearing your tips and being reminded I could probably look better and look more the way I feel, younger.
