8 Ways to Look Effortlessly Polished

[@lovetotravel916]

You recommend having a clear complexion - I've struggled with this my entire adult life and have used many over-the-counter and prescribed products, however the most stunning improvement happened when I changed my diet. I had to give up dairy, sugar, gluten, alcohol, processed and packaged foods (including cereal), and fried/fast foods to improve my digestion, and started drinking green tea and eating more organic, whole foods, and colorful/ leafy green vegetables. My complexion improved tremendously!! Eating the right foods DOES make a big difference for having a healthy, wholesome glow.

[@good__enough]

Congratulations, Michelle.

Microneedling with PRP is doing wonders for my acne scars and taking alot of vitamin C is also improving my skin alot!!

[@TheEllaTB]

Yes! Same here. Cleaning up the diet really cleans up the skin

My clothing rules: no rips, holes, dirt, stains or wrinkles, even for at home. Stained items go in my “painting clothes” drawer, if they’re comfortable enough for that kind of activity, and I wear them for projects involving glues, paints, stains, etc. For linen, I iron before each wearing. I have found that linen/viscose blends wrinkle a lot less than pure linen and are even more cool and breathable.

Hi Kimberly Perrotis. I often notice you on the same channels I subscribe to. I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your comments and ideas. Have you ever considered hosting your own channel? I'm sure you'd do well. Thanks for sharing and I wish you the best! 😊

[@nancyhoskins197]

I appreciate your insights. I was raised in a different era, and worry about the lack of "polish", style and manners in public. A short story: My husband work for a major university in the US. The girls wore sweat pants and casual pony tails, or a ball cap over hair. One day on his way down the hall, my husband noticed a young student who apparently needed to go to work after class. She wore slacks with a belt, her blouse tucked neatly in. My husband couldn't remember her hairstyle, whether is was short or long and pulled up. He did notice the young men ignore the girls in sweatpants, and turn their heads to follow the neatly dressed young woman. Appearance and demeanor matters.

[@anireseegam6128]

What did the boys wear? To attract attention from the opposite sex isn't everyone's constant goal.

[@baxterandcotton]

@@anireseegam6128 Most of the boys probably also dressed hyper casually, and you can be sure that when one makes the effort to look polished the girls notice him too. And although people shouldn't and don't spend all their time trying to attract someone, you never know when you'll meet "the one" and I think many of us would like to feel more presentable when that happens :p

[@helenebennie3961]

@@anireseegam6128 I think this presenter's point is to look classy and polished. Yes, it is not our continuous aim to draw the attention of the opposite sex, but being sloppy is not attractive and it says that you can't be bothered. Our society has become so lax with presentation. We could probably all lift our game.

[@helenebennie3961]

@@brendamiller5785 That is true. But classiness does not depend on body size or shape. Being tall and slim may help you look elegant but I believe she was talking about classiness which is something different to elegance. Let's just all celebrate ourselves the way we are. However a bit of a prod not to be so sloppy is not so bad in my book.

A Part 2 would be wonderful. : ) My top tips, in addition to what you have mentioned, are: keep your teeth clean and healthy, keep makeup simple and in the same tonal family as what is found in your individual colouring, keep your jewelry in good repair, always wear a watch/timepiece, add some attractive glasses (prescription or “just for looks”), keep your handbag clean and organized, have good posture, perfect your “neutral smirk” (that mysterious smile you have when walking around so you aren’t grinning like a clown or frowning like a grump), don’t eat or drink on the go (snacking is fine, but don’t “walk and chomp” or “walk and chug”), and keep a notepad/day timer and pen or Kindle in your bag so you reach for that before your phone if you find yourself waiting.

I completely agree with selecting a quality handbag. My sister in law blessed me with a quality leather tote 6 years ago. It has lasted beautifully and is just now starting to show some wear.

Regarding skin blemishes....in my late 50's, I thought it was just a blemish. It would occur, clear up, re-occur, repeatedly, always in the exact same spot. It was basal cell skin cancer, and thankfully, was successfully treated. But scarring might have been reduced had I realized it was not just a blemish. Just a word of caution to your viewers.

[@luba-healthywithluba6866]

Jennifer, it is comforting to know that no one is naturally polished. Skin is definitely one that is quickly obvious if there are blemishes or age spots. While good skincare is essential, the health of our skin begins on the inside (think digestion).

[@savedraven5096]

Yes on all points! And I would certainly add, how we engage with people with our tone of voice, attitude and body language says volumes of how 'polished' we are. Never trying to purposefully draw attention to ourselves by laughing out loud and certainly, never swearing... Being humble and kind, while appearing polished in dress, is respectable and approachable in my experience.

I do all these things. I take my shoes off when I come in from the garage and brush the sides and bottoms to keep my indoors clean. If they need more attention than that, I leave them in the adjacent laundry room until I can get to it, I have plenty of other shoes to wear for a few days to a week. I do all my wardrobe stuff early in the morning in my laundry room, before I need to run the AC there, it uses so much energy, and air-dry, iron and steam my clothes there. Nothing goes back into my wardrobe that isn’t 100% immaculate and ready to wear, so I think I already look fairly polished.

Thank you for your words of validation! I usually prefer a very short style (cancer-survivor-chic is what I call it), but am now growing my silver locks for donation. I now wear my hair in a pony tail, which I think is attractive and easy to maintain. It's still thick and curly, even in my 70s, the shape of my head has always been very good, no double chin, nice looking ears. The good news is that all my prettiest earrings are on easy display. I've had a few negative comments, mostly from family members, probably because it's uncommon for older ladies to wear that style, but I like it, and it's only temporary. Probably another four months before I'm ready to harvest it, and I intend to enjoy my long hair every moment til then. By the way ... I think the best thing we can do for our hands and feet, aside from applying moisture, is push back those cuticles.

[@analys1422]

Agree with it all, I’ve been obsessed with my eyebrows since I was a very young girl and I’m i 58 . Makes a huge difference. I’ve learned how to do my mani pedi at home , I love just a clear color. My feet are very dry , I use essential oils. Shoes absolutely must be cleaned and polished. I’ve been done with name brands forever ago, a good high quality hand bag is key. A chignon is always a classic. Messy buns are great for boho looks and a casual chic looks. Perfect ending to your video!

I never plucked my eyebrows much, just the strays, so they are still full at age 61. They were always skimpy at the ends, so I fill them a tiny bit there and cover the few grays that are coming in. Plucking and waxing don’t just thin them permanently, they make them grow back crooked and leave those big, enlarged pores that one sees after about age 35. If thin, plucked brows are “in”, I just ignore that, tidied-up natural is always nicer. Women who pluck them thin look very outdated now, too.

[@nicholejones8002]

I agree with fuller brows looking better, but waxing needs really depend on your brows. I’ve had a uni brow and mustache since middle school and even though I’m almost 40, my brows require waxing and still remain full. Just my two sense!

The way you can navigate when you are in group settings with your mother and you find yourself getting embarrassed is to remind yourself that your job is to simply love your mother. This is a reflection on you. Your mother's rude behaviors may or may not be a reflection on her. As our mother's age they may be dealing with all kinds of challenges we may only find out about later. Like early Alzheimer's or dementia. UTI's that present with unique behavioral issues in the elderly, grief and loss, and sadly unhealed trauma from their own childhoods. Love your mother- that is the only thing that the people who see you and your mom in social situations will ever remember about you.

I really like the illuminating nail concealer polish for that natural, effortless look on my mostly short nails. I find that if I pop on a wrist watch and earrings -- even with a t-shirt and jeans-- it amps up the polished look. I have curly "wild" hair and I do like it, but it takes much effort to keep it looking presentable (not polished in my case). I've recently discovered homemade flax seed gel which does great things to my curly mane and keeps it a little more tamed.

[@Chahlie]

I put a wee bit of Nuxe gold oil on my hair- it tames the frizz, adds some definition and weighs it down a bit, as well as has a sun kissed kind of glow! I mix a few drops on wet hands and then sort of pull it through the curls :)

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I have a lifelong virus that causes itchy red bumps when I use anything creamy on my hands, so I just put in on my cuticles and a few other dry areas. I like to do my cuticles at night, then wash off any residual before putting my (natural color) fingernail polish on the next day. Using this color makes it easy to do my own manicures. At age 61, I no longer need to shave anywhere, so I get waxing in a few areas that still have a little hair when I get my monthly pedicure. It takes at least six months before I have to wax my underarms, for example, there’s hardly any hair. See, getting older isn’t all terrible!

I have just found your channel through The Clutterbug. I am a bee but more like a 🦋 at the moment. I have hit two milestones this year. I turned 50 and about to move house. Due to depression and ill health my looks and home have suffered over the past 15 years but over the past week I have had a couple of💡moments. The main thing was The Fantasy Self. I will get into those clothes once I have lost weight, I will be able to go buy those clothes in the quality and style I desire once a get to my ideal weight, I need loads of stuff to show how successful (or not) I am, I need stuff to be happy - all of this is the inner saboteur stopping me. So today I have gone through one of the jumbo compression bags which was not compressed and full of clothes, a double wardrobe which was stuffed full and a 4 drawer chest of drawers. And using what I have learned from just a few of your videos I have still a bag of clothes but they are winter and next size down clothes which is achievable, 2 of the thinnest drawers including general items ie hairdryer, sanitary items etc and the following items in the wardrobe core - 2 skirts, 2 trousers, 5 tops mixture short and long sleeves, extras 6 T shirts, 1 fleece jacket, 1 lightweight cover and 2 waterfall cardigans, 2 dressing gowns, 1 rain jacket, 6 scarfs. And the realisation I don't need to be perfect to deserve to look good, by looking good today I am good enough. Shoes and make up are next.

I loved to hear about the nail concealer , so helpful! I have been looking for something like that but never found it.

Hello Jennifer. I am fairly new to your channel. I want take a moment to tell you, how much I am enjoying your monthly "challenges". The music has been especially wonderful! In addition, I have really appreciated many of your other more recent videos. I ordered the "princess" nail color and I absolutely love it! Take care and be well.

[@JanalynVoigt]

Ouch! I'm busted on several points. Thanks, Jennifer!

[@carolinasusini2601]

Loved the video!!! And of course I would love to see a part 2

[@virgierutledge3004]

Your eyebrows look lovely. Perfect. I love so many things in this world but I have to say, I hate ripped jeans, huge overdone brows and fake eyelashes. Why? Not normal or attractive.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I agree, heavy makeup, bleached dark hair, etc.

[@ksc743]

I agree too. Long fake lashes are my absolute worst. Shorter ones added subtly just to the outer side of the top lid can enhance the eye but otherwise stay clear!

[@MsKmw15]

The blue and green hair and nails. Why do some women want to make themselves look bad...I don't get it.

[@virgierutledge3004]

@@MsKmw15 I think emotional, low self esteem. I do not get any of this.

@Debbie Hi Debbie, I due to medical issues which wreaked havoc on my eyelashes as well as my brows. I recently ordered are you ready!! I ordered some temporary brow tattoos. I've not used them as of yet. Yet they look amazing if I can get them on correct. I chose 2 or 3 different styles. Check Amazon, Ebay. I will update when j use them. Gabe this will help you out. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Jennifer, Great reminders here today: thank you. With smart phones holding our credit cards, photos, store loyalty cards and soon drivers licenses in many states, what are you carrying in a wallet? I’ve been using a small crossbody and skip carrying the wallet. All the best, Julie 🌷

Yes, that works for many people, definitely. ♥️

Many of us prefer to carry the original versions.

[@mendistone1172]

Love Londontown. Just ordered the illuminating concealer. It's a great polish that doesn't cause damage to my nails. I'm 46 and I have used Norwex body cloths on my face for the last year and finally am getting a clear complexion. The silver must be the pixie dust my face needed. Thanks for all the info. Stay polished!

[@hdavis82183]

I love all of the polishes from Londontown. Their nail concealer and the shade Invisible Crown are my favorites. I also love the way the milkmaid braids look on you! It's my goal to try that hairstyle this week. I have extremely thick and wavy hair, so I'm always looking for cute ways to put it up between washes. Your hair always looks so lovely.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you!

I have been seeing the Billie advertisements around for awhile and I've been skeptical but you have talked me into it...just made my first order!

Thank you for these good ideas, but mostly for the great example you are! You always look polished, but also very comfortable with who you are ❤

Great advice. You are very polished. I appreciate your good example of being a homemaker and lovely at the same time. This is great for your husband, and a great example for your children.

Great tips! I ordered the foot callous file and the Londontown polish, thank you for the recommendations! 😊

[@mariel7964]

Great advice. Should I add more? I know it's somehow personal but tattoos on women are not classy. This girl at my Dr's office looked so put together until she got one arm all inked.

[@HosCreates]

I think it depends on the style and how much ink. There is a sales rep at my job who has one tattoo that is a rose and its femine and polished looking despite her being very butch and she looks great with it..its soft. However her other sides arm has a gruesome brutal outlined tattoo and its not.

[@mariel7964]

@@HosCreates I personally don't like any, but I agree with you that some little ones can be cute. When the whole arm, leg, back is full it makes me wonder what gang i am dealing with. Not saying that by choosing tattoos makes anyone a bad person; it just takes away the feminine, elegant look( my opinion).

[@lifewellloved0204]

I agree. It makes your skin look dirty.

[@karalozdan4414]

Whenever I see someone with a tattoo, I get an urge to wash them.

[@234Marla]

TY Jennifer for the amazing tip on the Londontown Illuminating Concealer. I unwisely got Gel Nails two months ago and really disliked the very unnaturally shaped and too-long gel nails. After having them removed I saw the awful red lines in my nail plates from unskilled use of that nasty drimmel tool they use. She totally messed up my nails! The Illuminating Concealer WORKS, two coats really smoothed and hid the red lines as this mess grows out!

[@s.sflower]

I totally agree with the feet thing! Having dried and cracked feet is not a good look especially if some lotion can help (not talking about a medical condition). Yes pls for part 2 God bless you

Is there a corelation between " beauty privilage" and looking polish? Looking forward for a Part 2 of this lovely video!!! 💐

[@disciplinenotregret]

How do you mean? There is privilege in many things, beauty is one of them. Being beautiful also brings about a whole lot of problems as it does make you a target for envy, hatred and sabotage. There is good and bad with everything. I for one believe that good grooming is much more important than beauty. Good grooming, proper speech, deportment and wearing clean clothes are essential and can be had for low cost. Look for how you can improve rather than get hung up on ideas of privilege. It's the difference between having a growth and limited mindset.

[@jader2629]

Interesting. It must surely help. But certain factors like low mood, illness etc can make it hard even for a beautiful person. Wrinkle free clothing was a great idea. X

[@evelyncarrasquillo2282]

Perking up your posture too! Polished at work by remembering to breathe deeply, get out of your chair every hour at the least, a quick straightening up of straying hair, pilling, cleaning your glasses, etc, by a quick run to the bathroom.

[@elizabethbednarcik3311]

I just polished my boots today! I work in public service though so it’s always best to have a pressed uniform and shinny boots.

[@susanflowers1195]

Thankfully I never really thought much on this idea as a woman although feeling pretty in your own akin always feels good. Now that I'm nearing my 50's I feel and understand the pressures of why we have to feel we should look our best. One day I seen my neice I watched as I paid close attention to the way she talks and the way she sits as if she was so aware of this even paying attention to the way I present myself. Thankfully I never had to. Now it's come to this.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I call them Alpine Braids and that used to be one of my favorite styles. My hair is too short now, but I fake it with a high quality, close-color-match fake-braid, elastic band style. It looks great and is nicer than my usual hairband. My hair grows straight forward over my face, so I have to wear some sort of band, polytail/bun or half-up do. I also use some beautiful barrettes, I forget the brand, it’s a French one available at Amazon or directly online, they’re lovely. I love my new Mother-of-pearl look ones, but they have a huge variety of types and colors and are very high-quality.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I found the hair accessory brand, it’s called France Luxe, they’re not cheap, but they are keepers, unlike most drugstore ones.

[@patty-cf7jj]

I could never get into the ripped jeans look. I thought it was ridiculous. It’s one thing for teenagers to wear them, but I have friends my age (50s) who wear them and I think it looks absurd.

[@fourleaf8055]

Lol I have never worn them but in the last year my friends have been wearing them and I thought they looked good so I bought a pair and I’m 44 😂 They’re not super ripped just a little and I think they look good with a top and boots to go out in the evening. Would never wear them to church, work etc

[@marlyswilliams9949]

I have found ripped denim flat out confusing for all the long years it has been popular. Celebrities, or the teenager nearby, it just does not work. Who ever sold this trend to American women?

[@mimsalamims6571]

I like them, every once in a while I wear them, sort of liberating, don't want to be defined by what I wear. Next day polished look. I enjoy my life.

[@fourleaf8055]

@@mimsalamims6571 I agree. No need to be this judgmental about ripped jeans 🙄

Amen on the eyebrows! It makes such a difference to just fill them in. On my minimal days, just sunblock and eyebrows and I look great. I see so many women that do a full face of makeup but they neglect to do their eyebrows

[@disciplinenotregret]

This is my pet peeve but I'd much rather no brows than instagram, pomade with concealer, carved out brows. In this day and age of microblading it's such an easy problem to fix.

[@saraschluter7890]

Great ideas! Love your tipps 🥰 Regarding the eyebrows I think it depends a lot which type of eyebrow you have, I do wax mine because they're Frida Kahlo style and very wild... And still today I polish my shoes, specially dark leather shoes have to look clean and shiny.
