How To Look 10 Years Younger in 2019!

[@MsCavalier01]

OMG, you had me laughing so hard about the polka dot dress and Aunt Bea. I am going to donate all my large print tops and opt for smaller prints. Thank you for all your wonderful tips! Going to go online right now and order the Bye Bye Undereye concealor. Also, the Clinique under eye cream. Your eyes look amazing! With all of the crying I've done in the last 2 and 1/2 years since Wendell died, My eyes have aged and I've even thought of getting an eyelift. As I'm healing inside, I want to reflect that on the outside and reclaim the way I looked before my world collapsed. At 64, I feel I still have so much more living to do. The wrinkles we aquire at our age are a roadmap of all of the good times and the bad times. The smile lines and the crinkles at the corners of our eyes showed we have laughed and the and the crepeiness shows how much we've rubbed our tears away. If we could take the wisdom we have in these years and get back some of your youthful appearance from yester-year, we'd have the world in the palm of our hands, wouldn't we? I loved this video, Susan! You put a voice to what we feel. Thank you! Love and hugs to you and Desi! xox Colleen

[@LittlePoet]

Oh Colleen...you have been through it and back again...not a day goes by where I don't think of you. You used to take us through your life with your husband and home..you all were part of us and we grieve with you. Has it really been 2 and half years? And you made it...you have your beautiful spirit and home...you landed on your feet...it perhaps must feel like a dream at times looking back? I saw Bill tonight at the home and I fell asleep there with him...I just was exhausted and when I woke up he said " this is the happiest day of my life",,,,and so we go on..this long good-bye. I will never forget how kind you were to me about losing BIll to divorce...and now, how you give me strength that life finds a way. You are ready to start a new chapter in your life...and I want to come along. Love you, always...Sues

[@kathymitchell8666]

I lost my husband this year. The eyes will never recover. I’m hoping there is recovery as you speak of. If only Clinique made a heart cream. I’ll be 64 next month. I hope one day I can see my future again. Hang in there. There is a reason for everything. I was blessed with 33 years with my Bill, but as you know it’s never enough time.

[@MsCavalier01]

@@kathymitchell8666 Hi Kathy! I'm so sorry for your loss. There are just no words, as I know what you're going through. It leaves such a huge void. My husband died on March 25th in 2017 and I'm just now starting to feel semi-normal again. You start to forget what "normal" feels like and it's like you have to create your new normal. Surround yourself with good friends and family. Eventually, the fog will start to lift. Sending prayers your way!

[@Mexicobeanpole]

I also wanted to tell you how beautiful you are. It’s not just your looks, it’s your spirit. You have star 🌟 quality. You shine from within.💕

[@pamlong448]

That is so true, natural charisma!

[@annetterogers5769]

I had a special aunt Ann . She came only a few times a year but took me out of my abusive childhood and made me feel wanted and loved . When she left I was alone once again. Once I left my home at the age of 15 to get away from my father I tried to contact her but was unable to find her. I found out later on decades later that she had passed of cancer. When I learned of her passing a part of me died. She was the closest thing I ever had to a mother even though I only saw her a few times a year . Even though she has been gone for decades the impression she left on me is still there and something that will never leave me . It's amazing how one person can be in your life if only for a short time or even a fleeting moment , and how they can mold and change your entire being. She did that for me . She made what was a horrific childhood and brought light to it . I will never forget her . You are a blessing to us all and I am grateful to have found you .

[@susannovak8263]

Annette Rogers - I am so glad that you had your aunt Ann. She sounds like a wonderful woman. ❤️

[@gigi1332]

I only now discovered this. How are you now? I had a very kind Aunt too. A step Aunt. That marriage didn't last for my mother so the step dad and my step Aunt disappeared but I will never forget her kindness to me. She was so kind and I think of her all the time. My sincerest love to you 🙏

[@texasbk1333]

🌷🌸 You’re “One of a kind” Little Poet. The good kind. 🌷🌸

[@Mexicobeanpole]

I didn’t get told I was pretty when I was very young. I had parents that were all tied up in their own problems, and though they loved us, They were very self absorbed. We were poor, and I had a rich cousin that was one year older than me that I never, ever met. She would sent me bags and bags of clothes every summer, when her mom would take her school shopping. I can’t tell you how it made me feel to wear nice things to school after years of being made fun of for wearing old clothes. I felt pretty. So, someone made me feel pretty, and I never got to tell her thank you....

[@kathleensaenz4717]

@Beach Town Reseller. I, too, had a 'simple' life as a child...I had a cousin who was an only child and both parents had 'good' jobs. She would send me bags of 'barely-worn' clothes. I loved them! Made me feel SO good. I really loved my cousin for her generosity! Felt like a million dollars!😊

[@yvonnefitts1014]

I would never go back in time if it is a repeat of the same life...……..However I have a lot of good things to remember, but a whole lot more to forget

[@cynthiagreen6927]

I had a wonderful Aunt, my mother’s sister. She was married 3 times but, never had any children if her own. She loved me unconditionally. I once told her If my mother wasn’t my mother I would want her to be. I always felt her love even at times When I didn’t feel it from others. I never knew my Dad. I was 65 before I ever had. Photo of him. She would tell me about him. My sweet single mother worked two and three jobs just to pay the rent and feed us so she didn’t have lots of extra time on her hands so when my Aunt Hansel came it was a fun time. She would let me sleep with her and she taught me how to embroider at the age of 5. Every summer until the age of 13 she would take me to spend a week with her. Next to my mother I loved her more than anyone. I called her Aunt Hansie. She was overweight but, I thought she was beautiful.

[@SRAshley100]

I didn’t have a special aunt or anyone in my life to make me feel special. I came from a family that didn’t compliment or show outward displays of love. Unfortunately, I did some of the same things to my daughters simply from living how I was raised. Somehow, between raising my daughters and when my grandchildren were born something changed. I vowed to make my granddaughter feel beautiful at all times. I still do and I try and lift my daughters up. If I could go back in time I would be a more hugging, touching uplifting mother. Although, my daughters turned out wonderful! ❤️

[@BlingyBea]

Sheila Ashley Me too.

[@barbarao4605]

I'd love to go back about 15-20 years to be a better wife and mother. The saying 'if I knew then what I know now' comes to mind. Thanks for this video. Happy upcoming week to you and Desi!

[@beam8250]

Thank you for this 💗. You just saved my life! I really needed to hear this 💓.

[@Laura-ic2sl]

Susan...You are so special. I could listen to your stories for hours upon hours. You are beautiful...inside and out. Bless you, Laura

[@melissaadams6776]

You saw her magic...i bet she had no idea of her own power her own magic..her own lasting impression she made on you...and 53 yrs later ....youd be sharing her magic with so many others weekly all over the country

[@MDWJS]

Never go back or look back not even for a second wind. Every experience has made me who I am and given eye two beautiful little girl humans who inspire me.

[@robinswaytoday]

Sarah still seems to be magically over you. Deep In your heart for her and in your love for music. If I went back in time I would change a few events but I love who I am and would not want to change anything. You certainly have made me think a bit Susan. Hugs!! ❤️❤️

[@bettymcintyre8048]

My sister was 20 years older than me. One of my sweetest memories is standing by her at about 5 years old, watching her apply makeup and as she put lipstick on she looked down at me. She bent over and painted my lips. That was 74 years ago but I’ve never forgotten how special I felt. She died 17 years ago.❤️

[@paulawhite2546]

Oh Sues❤I had Great Aunt Mag❤ Aunt Mag wasn't fashionable. Her husband, a house painter who taught his dog Rock to climb a ladder, died suddenly. Aunt Mag didn't know how to drive and had never paid a bill. Her sister, my grandmother, taught her how to move forward. I lived with her a whole year when I was in 5th grade after her loss. She learned it all. She never had children except for me. Later, she sold her home. I would spend the night in her one room living quarters. She always had chocolate covered cherries and let me stay up to watch X-1. Yes, I was her daughter by choice. Unconditional love makes up for things missing in a young life. To all the Aunts out there, we love you.

[@donnakollar3157]

Susan thank you so much for always making me smile. Life right now has me spiraling out of control my 46 yr old son had serious thyroid cancer surgery, my 43 yr old son finds out 12/11 if he also needs thyroid surgery. And I’ve just fallen again this past Thursday. So say I’m emotional is an understatement, but your personality has been so uplifting for me. Thank you Susan & Desi.

[@sweethaven1929]

Love to hear you speak of your auntie Sarah that way, and you picked up so much from her., there’s no judgement by you , you knew the real person heart, cherish those memories and thank you for sharing it.

[@jorgieg1]

When I was 10yrs old, I moved with my mom and dad to Los Angeles from Oakland. The school I went to was very sophisticated, compared to the one I came from. I mean the kids were more advanced and ahead of Oakland. Also, my Aunt Blanche would visit us and always brought me beautiful gifts from Robinson’s dept store! Beautiful “babydoll” pj’s and such. So I know what you enjoyed with your aunt. So fortunate to have such a relative in a young girls life!

[@sherielight5569]

You always make me laugh & cry!! Yes, I remember those 2 ladies of tv !! Your skin is so radiant. I am always looking for a great eye cream & concealer, thanks for the tips. A scratch behind the ears to Desi!! Be blessed.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Lovely topics today! Will try that mask. I'm starting late today so will try a hydrating mask I bought some time ago and forget to use. I'm glad your aunt Sara had someone like you to cherish her - and vice versa. I didn't have anyone who made me feel special. My father never told me I was beautiful. My mother always told me how big my nose was.

[@copperpenny0209]

You really look younger than when you first started your channel...well done! Not just on this video, but I noticed it previously.

[@emmylou-y4b]

This has been a tough week. A lot of family drama regarding illness and I learned someone I worked with years ago passed. As we age, (I'm 65), these periods occur more and more and I'm finding that prayer helps. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos, they are so thoughtful informative.

[@emmylou-y4b]

BTW, I love Bye Bye Undereye concealer. Yes, it's a little thick but you can build it plus, I use the brush it came with. A drop goes a long way.

[@tuesdaynickerson7885]

Yes , my Grandma made me feel very special. It meant the world to me then and still does to this day .

[@marisolpearls9276]

Oh I look so forward to your videos. They always include something precious to think about... I had an aunt whose company I truly enjoyed as a young girl. We used to put on my Donna Summers Bad Girls album and sing and dance in circles in my living room. No one understood her. Everyone saw her as nuts. I didn't. I loved her laughter and her stories. I loved her company. I love her. She passed away at a mental institution about 4 years ago. Thank you, Susan, for taking me down memory lane. I want to listen to Donna Summers 'Our love, will last forever!' 😊 I am turning 54 early next month. I decided to start an anti-aging regime last weekend -- after watching a bunch of yt videos on the subject myself. Haha! Maybe I should listen to Cher's 'If I can turn back time...' lol! Oh! I got a sample of this cleansing hair paste by Christophe Robin and I tried it 2 days ago and I love it!! It made my fine hair so bouncy and voluminous! ! When I got it, I thought it was so weird and grainy. But as soon as it comes in contact with your wet hair, it turns into this fantastic bubbly lather. Its $53 for almost 9 oz. But i have short hair so i don't have to use much. I put on some Living Proof's anti frizz cream and use my hot curling brush and my hair looks fantastic! Getting older is fun when you get to play with beauty products and give yourself spa treatments at home. I am loving it! Its all relaxing and decadent. 💖👍 God bless you and adorable lil Desi always. 🙏🙏💖☝

[@kathymitchell8666]

Oh my how you capture emotions. Aunt Sara brought you joy. That’s all that matters. Some might say we all sell ourselves at some time or another. I can just see you and your Aunt enjoying life. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@LittlePoet]

Thank you Kathy so much...you sound like such a lovely woman!

[@KarenLawana]

You are so beautiful inside and out, and an amazing storyteller. I don't have anyone who made me feel pretty when I was young, but I loved hearing your story. I hate that you had a bad week, but I hope that all the love people send back to you when you post your videos makes you feel better.

[@ssaah59ify]

A little girl only sees the magic and love that her Auntie shares with her.

[@marisolpearls9276]

Oh! I watch the Andy Griffith Show twice a day on weekdays. Just love it. Aunt Bee was 54? Boy! I am almost 54. We sure have come a long way in fashion, hair coloring and everything. 😨😏

[@carolynstockton5876]

Sorry to hear about your aunt. I also had an aunt who would put lip gloss and a bit of makeup on me at 13, and we would use facial masks together. She was fun, feminine and so pretty, and died too young at 49 from cancer. She treated me like a young lady, not a child, when I really needed that.

[@lynnc7896]

I find red lipstick is incredibly aging...makes lips look thin and harsh. Now that I'm in my 50s I stick to pink and neutral lip colors, they make my lips look fuller and softer. 💕

[@melissaadams6776]

I agree...weight loss later in life can really draw a face........

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

You really are looking younger and more beautiful as you age. And whatever you’ve been doing with your hair these past few months, we’ll just keep doing it. I just love how it frames your face so softly. I love the Clinique eye cream too...it’s my holy grail!! I watch Dominique and Erin (Busbee Style) too, they’re both fantastic. Continued prayers for Bill🙏🏻. Xoxo

[@mariesmith5510]

Oh Susan, I just love your videos. I always look forward to Friday’s so I can watch your latest one. You’re beautiful inside and out. I’m so sorry about your Aunt Sarah. She sounds like such a sweetheart. I wish I had someone like her when I was growing up. I’m definitely going to try the homemade mask. And I want to get some of the other items you shared with us. You and Desi have a wonderful week. Xoxo

[@deross817]

I just wish I was as brave and confident at twenty something as I am now. I always worried I wasn't "pretty enough", or this or that.....when you get older, it's so FREEING to feel like "don't look if you don't like the way I am".....and with that...you feel so much prettier and confident!! I actually feel prettier at 58 than I did in my twenties.....

[@CatchMeIfYouCan55]

You are so magical to me. Everything a fine elegant lady is. Hugs 💙💙

[@LittlePoet]

Oh Robin...you touch my heart so much..thank you. I hope your new week is a good one! xxoo Susan & Desi

[@blythekendal]

If I could go back with the wisdom I have now......I most definitely would. Thank you Susan for being so vulnerable and real. I learn so much from you each week. I would love a video from Dez's point of view. I bet he would have a lot to teach us.

You’re so beautiful not only on the outside, but your inside. Thank you for sharing your special story about Aunt Sarah. My granny was so special to me when I was younger. She raised me and we just get each other even more than my mom. I miss her dearly as she passed away too. But I keep the good precious memories to my heart and alive. 💕

You are amazing. I so love spending time watching your videos. Keep them coming and I’ll keep watching 💖. My Grama was my special person. We just had an incredible bond that I miss but I have so many wonderful memories. Thanks again for being you. And hey Dezi, your so handsome.

[@kathyabeauty]

I just love our visits! I feel like we are in the same room. I see a little sadness in your eyes today and I hope it will comfort you to realize how much you mean to me and to the THOUSANDS of others who also enjoy "visiting" with you. My hands give my 61 years away. So much fun this ageing process! The other thing about weight loss in your 60s is when you lose a lot of weight, your wrinkles come out to play. lol. I have too many do- overs to mention, but my work personality and attitude now is so much better than when I was younger but I really miss the freedom of not caring about the future. I had a "sassy" aunt who wore mini skirts and eye makeup and was full of life. I remember my mother judging her as something bad. Looking back on it now, it was the judging that was bad.

[@CC-hj1xk]

Kathy Aay Beauty - that was a beautiful comment you left for Susan. I watch your channel also. I'm with you in that my hands give my age away! Ugh... I've tried everything. Wish I could afford laser!

[@annawhite2572]

I'm so happy to have found you! I'm 62 yr old widow that lives and cares for my 88 yr old mother for 9 yrs. I love your soft voice and glimpses of the places you go! Hoping that one day I can reinvent my life when the time comes. I feel I've lost myself thru these years. Thank you for the tips on looking younger! Will be trying that mask for sure! And I love Desi! Looking forward to next week.

[@lisaparrish2767]

I don't think it's the dark dotted dress that ages you but the way you wear your hair and your darker roots. Your long light blond hair softens and lights up your facial features.

Oh Sues I'm so glad you went to see Sarah. My son and I go to see her whenever she's anywhere she's near or far....lol. she puts it out there and doesn't hold back...does she? What a woman!!!! You look beautiful and glowy today.....😂 🤗

[@ceecee7879]

Oh lawd....she did it again. 😭😭 Aunt Sara, bless her. So sorry you had a bad week, yet you are “glowing” in the video! That print blouse looks fabulous with your beautiful makeup. My special relative were my older cousins from “the big city” who would spend the summer with us. Always made a shy tom boy girl feel special.

[@brendalee2896]

You had a challenging week? I wish I could have made it better for you. However I think you must have pulled through it with flying colors. You are uplifting and encouraging to me. Seems you come around with your lovely attitude and encouraging words just when I need them. I needed them this week. Thank you.

[@jorgieg1]

Geez!!! Susan!! Aunt Sarah, very sad story... but you recall her with total love!!! Things happen that we can only accept and understand when we’re older, huh. ❤️❤️❤️

[@barbaramobley8845]

Wow! What a story about your aunt. You continue to celebrate her and what she meant to you. You must have been very special to her too. Sad about her life and the way she lived and died. A lot of times young women get involved in things like that and it's very hard to break free once you're in. Shud make us feel grateful that our lives turned out differently. It's not difficult to make one wrong decision that determines the rest of our lives. I'm glad you never let knowing change the way you felt about her. If you loved her then she truly was a beautiful person. You are such a beautiful soul inside and out.

[@gmamary47]

Thank you so much for stopping in and spending time with me. Friday nights always seem so long and lonely. Only 3 or 4 more months and i will be moving into my new home. Plan on making lots of new friends. It's an over 55 community. Thank you also for all the good advice on taking care of ourselves. Have a wonderful weekend "sweet spirit".

[@kimberlym.3643]

Thank you for sharing your precious memories of your Aunt with us. My sister and I had a 4th grade teacher who was like an a big sister to us. I haven't seen her in years but she impacted my childhood so much. She was such a blessing to us. She never had children of her own. I guess you could say her student's were her children. I looked up to her so much,

[@Lori42ish]

My grandmother always made me feel special. My momma went through a rough time in her life. She loss the love of her life, her third husband which was my step up dad in car accident then shortly after her son, my brother died in a car accident. The sorrow over took her and shortly after she became a heroine addict. So for me, it was my grandma who showed up a couple of times a year and made everything seem okay. She would fill our ice box with food and our hearts with joy and hope for a better life. My grandma was amazing. I’m glad you had your Aunt depositing truth into your heart Susan. You are beautiful. Thank you for your video and stories. Have a blessed weekend. 😀

[@RandomLifeProductions]

My great grandmother made me feel special by her kind acts and words, imagine four kids a small room and an 85 year old in her apron bringing us all bowls of warm soup on a winters night, it was a place of refuge when things got tough at home, you could sit and. feel peace. She was an angel, and you included the arms of an angel track at the end of the video. My thoughts on looking ten years younger are these. Exercise, including stretching and strength exercise. Posture when walking. Laughter a lot of that, having a younger mindset, trying new things and being positive; and of course looking after your skin... Have a great week Susan

[@casperh2961]

Another lovely video. When you were describing your aunt I could have sworn you were describing my grandma when I was little. She was a widow and would take turns with all of six children's families and come stay on alternating weekends. One of my fondest memories is her with her creams, lotions, and perfumes. She was a big Mary Kay fan and talked to me about how to take care of your skin. As I was a big-girl, she made me feel pretty by bringing me these girly things and modeling femininity for me. She was so gracious, yet had a firecracker spirit. You brought back her presence to me this morning, so thank you.

[@lynneekstrum8949]

I love your videos, the music and beautiful scenery! I also love how you share your life, keep the beautiful videos coming!!

[@jorgieg1]

Susan... I’ve looked back at your earlier videos and to me, it looks like you had an eyelid lift. Have you? I’m about to do it. Creams and lotions cannot do what a surgical lift will do. I love “It” concealer. Bye Bye under eye takes some getting use to. You just have to try it a few times and apply a small bit and let it warm up on your face , then pat it gently in. Voila!! You’ll love it! I love your approach to aging... trying new products, moving and walking, exfoliation... and attitude! We’re only here for a short time. It’s important to accept each stage of our lives and not obsess about aging... Afterall, some of us are not going to live long enough to experience their “old age”. So let’s enjoy our lives, at all ages! ❤️❤️❤️And be thankful!

[@LittlePoet]

Oh Kathy....I have not had an eyelift and what I find amazing is you are the 4th nice gal to ask me that! I wish I had a 100% answer as to why folks think my eyelids have come up. My lids are still covered...my eyes are not as swllon....I have been using Retinol and Rosehips oil day and night for almost 5 years....I exfoliate everyday....? I prmise you, if I ever can aford plastic surgery...I will film it!!! xxoo

[@jorgieg1]

Susan, your eyes look wonderful!! I thought for sure you had the lift. So therefore, what you’re doing is working so beautifully. I need to try it before I “go under the knife” If you have time can you give me specifics? Name of brands you use. Rose hip type, etc. I’d be very grateful! 😘💕

[@LittlePoet]

@@jorgieg1 HI Kathy! You have inspired me to do a video about this subject! I don't feel I could go under the knife because I feel I would be too anxious about it all....especially around my eyes. My guess is diet, Rosehip Oil day and night, eye cream and daily exfoliation helped the swelling of my upper lids become less. i Also have somewhat improved my eyeshadow techniques which gives an illusion that I have lid space when I don't! It's all smoke and mirrors...but I PROMISe you Kathy....I will go through what I have done step by step and show before and after pictures! I hope your Sunday is a good one!!!

[@texasstardust6010]

@@LittlePoet .....I understand what you mean about the ' Smoke and Mirrors", lol.....Even at age 55, my best friend and I were thought to have had " stuff done'..but we hadn't. ( First off...COSTLY. Secondly, I was fine with how I looked) I learned about techniques to help the little facial flaws, so thats what we did....and I had been using a Collagen moisturizer for DECADES, starting when I was in my 20's. I didn't go out " getting a tan', I used sunscreen ( a Physical Sunscreen) everyday. Ive never smoked and honestly, I believe genetics had a hand in the whole thing, as well. ...My mother always looked young, even at 50 something, she looked about 45/46. She barely had any wrinkles, etc. So, now its 11 years later, I am 66 and I am grateful that I still ' look ok'. lol. :)

I think polka dot clothing is pretty. It was your hair that made you look older. It was too severe. I bought a maxi dress to wear around the house last month. I put it on & started laughing so hard. My girlfriend asked me what’s so funny. I said oh my God I look like Mrs Roper. We both had a good laugh. I put it in my closet & haven’t worn it but once. Ten years isn’t enough for me. I want to go back to my twenties. There’s so many things I would change about myself. Weight loss & exercise would be very important to me. Every time I would exercise throughout my life I would hurt myself. Not that I did something wrong , it’s just my bad back & knees. I would need the information that’s available now. I had four Aunts that were special to me. Three were my Mom’s sisters. There was a lot of love in my family. My other Aunt was my Dad’s sister. She made me laugh so hard all the time. She also would make me cream puffs from scratch. She never made them for anyone else. Lots of hugs & kisses from all my Aunts. I miss that so much. Love you, Lucy

My favorite Auntie was my Aunt Jean, my mother's sister. She was so elegant and traveled extensively. I would love to hear about the places she had visited; she always explained her travels so eloquently. It was like I had visited too. She was so joyful and despite some significant losses in her life, she was always positive. She loved to give dinner parties and she always included my cousins and me. She passed away 3 years ago and I miss her terribly.

[@mayrablanco2013]

I'm going to try that eye cream b/c I need help for sure. Thanks for sharing - another great video. Btw, my aunt Matilde raised me when I got here to the US and she was so sweet and always complimenting me. A very special lady. Have a great week!

[@galynnmeek822]

Oh....that would be my Aunt Ann....she never forgot us kids at Christmas. I couldn't wait to open up her present to see what special something she bought for me. And i always loved whatever it was....she played a big part in my life showing me Kindness towards others. And that is my biggest effort at the holidays, to make sure that i show that same kindness to others also. Love your videos, and keep dancing !!

[@susanjohnson5653]

Thanks beautiful friend for all your info so we can be beautiful like you, my husband said as he shaved my head you have a pretty shaped head, He loves me with or without hair, so I dress up, put on makeup,jewelry and my cap I decorated and go out, tfs, love you and Desi, love from Tn ❤

[@bethsilverio1605]

How blessed you are to have a wonderful husband

[@lsager1970]

No, I’ve enjoyed each stage of life as it comes ❤️

[@peachlalique9117]

Sweet Susan. I have watched your channel for about two years. My best friend and flame twin died of Lewy Body Dementia in 2017. You help me see things in a much more beautiful and POSITIVE way. Thank you for the kindness I see and feel in you. All the great skincare and tips I’ve learned from you are in many ways incredible. But I would simply watch you because I always feel more at peace. Love the music you have playing. Just love it all. I recently had to take a retin a break and I’m trying the rosehip seed oil. It’s wonderful! Please know you have helped me and I’m sure so many others. This has been a hum dinger of a year. Almost died from sepsis, then three pancreatic procedures to try to stop pre-pancreatic cancel. I’m VERY lucky to be here. I’m 68 and feel much more confident and happy with myself in years. Larry died almost three years ago. But I’d do it all again except for the damage it brought to him and to me. I was happy to be able to keep him with me but I was a broken person through it. Didn’t mean to dig such a hole. I love your content. You are such a friend. Thank you dear!

[@LittlePoet]

Oh Vicki....You just helped me see life in a more precious way. You have been through so much and I am so lucky you found me....we help each other....this life is so much easier when we have each other...

[@karmathegiant]

Lovely memories thanks 🙏 for sharing. Makes me think about the times I spent with one of my Aunts. Listening to records and riding horses.

[@cathyfenerty3136]

Susan, everyone has an Aunt Sarah. Someone we love who has had a hard life, and so when they pass we don’t celebrate their life, we don’t want their life...but we do celebrate their heart! That one bright loving thing that sets them apart.. their wonderful heart! ❤️❤️

[@cherylkeith9825]

This made my day with wonderful memories! My Aunt Gertie was your Aunt Sarah! Every memory and thought of her is filled with love, hugs and smooches! As she grew older I loved and admired how her grey hair was full of sheen and sparkled in the sunshine. I now have that shiny grey hair that makes me feel like a queen!

[@cherylkeith9825]

Please share your hair tricks! I have medium long hair and I wear mine up a lot. Yours is beautiful both down and up but I love how it looks pulled up. Please share how you pull it up and what hair accessories you love!

[@caroled3924]

Ps. I would go back so I could make better choices but on the other hand I’m 70 n well wouldn’t want to go thru what young people have to now a days ❤️🤗

[@barbaramobley8845]

I agree Carole. My life has not been perfect but childhood back in the 50's and 60's was so great! I wudnt trade that. It was such a naive time so different from today. I worry about my grandchildren and how their lives are being filled.

[@flametexas]

I would go back only if one thing could have changed... but I had no control over it. I don’t remember the bad... I really do remember the good ... the bad brings me down ... I don’t like that... it’s just easier for me to try and remember the good and let the wild prairie winds take the bad with them. ❤️

[@catmama54]

Your bare skin is exquisite. I’d go back in time in a heartbeat and do things differently

[@sylviae6259]

So lovely I did have a relative that took a similar path to aunt Sarah’s. It was my sister. I always spent time with her and she would make me feel special! I’m definitely going to try some of these suggestions! It is such a wonderful treat to watch you Susan and Desi well he’s the cutest little guy! Have a great week!

[@emcee2684]

What a wonderful story about a beautiful soul, your Aunt Sarah. It's amazing how something someone did for us as a child, can be so meaningful still to our hearts, so many years later. Thank you for sharing that story with us and reminding us to be an "Aunt Sarah" to other little girls. 💗 What is the name and brand of that wonderful nail polish you're wearing? It makes your hands look so beautiful.

[@colincase-mw3oi]

I cried for aunt Bae, she sounds facinating, thanks for sharing that

[@cathyandresiak1975]

Love your videos, they are so peaceful ! I had an Aunt that loved to do my hair and told me how pretty I was. It didnt last for long maybe a couple of years off and on. I think having a young girl needs a women that can spend time with her to teach her things not only about beauty but also life ! My granddaughter is 10 and loves to hear my stories, she hangs on every word, sometimes I have to make them up because I have told her so many and then some I cannot tell her. lol When I make them up I always make sure there is a lesson or a morale of the story to be learned.

[@tonimactavish9937]

Love your stories. You have brought back memories for me and have encouraged me to perhaps write a story or two about being in my life.

[@LittlePoet]

Oh Toni!!!! write that book!!!

[@sylviamiddleton8154]

Oh yes! My aunt Sylvia that I was named after was so much fun and always wore dangling earrings and red lipstick. She had a fabulous sense of humor that kept us all laughing. Thank you for sharing the story of your aunt Sarah with us. Precious memories. Love to you and Desi with huge hug’s.❤️❤️🤗🤗❤️❤️🤗🤗

[@GoldStarWork]

Just keep going for me. I wouldn’t want to go back and do it again.

[@TheBakingDiva]

Hi Susan, another Friday evening video that I enjoyed! I’m looking forward to trying that homemade egg mask. Have a great weekend and I’ll see you soon, Dolores 🥰

[@silverthorn2814]

Every little girl needs an aunt Sarah in her life, Marilyn Monroe has a quote, every little girl should be told shes pretty, even if shes not.luv to you ane the Des

[@GrannyZanna]

Thank you for reminding me to exfoliate. My neck developed a spot of sensitivity and I stopped all acids for a while. Now that's gone and I just used my peel from The Ordinary. My Aunt Dot was particularly loving toward me. As a child, I stayed with her for a week or so during the sumner and she would take me to Woolworth's and buy something pretty for me. It meant so much to me!

[@marilynhodgkinson5299]

Hi beautiful Susan and gorgeous little Desi, as usual I loved your video so much.The brightening eye serum l use is called Neo Bright Eyes it is Vegan and made in Australia. I wouldn't want to take 10yrs off my life, as that's when l got cancer. I am very happy now and happy the way l look.loved the story about your Aunt she sounded very special. Thanks for all your special news. Much love to you and Desi xxxxx

[@dallasgir]

Thank you for sharing your aunt Sarah with us. Wouldn't we all want to be remembered that way?

[@cpgde]

My Aunt Fran was my special person. Her and my uncle never had children of their own and my sister, brother and I were the only nieces and nephew that lived close. When my uncle would go hunting for the weekend, she would always come and pick me up and take me home with her. She taught me to cook and plant gardens. The one big thing was she had a huge wood dressing table in her bedroom and she would let me sit there and play with all of her makeup and jewelry for as long as I wanted. I loved that dressing table! About ten years ago, my husband went to an estate sale and came home with almost an exact replica of my aunts dressing table including the huge mirror that went with it. That dressing table is my most prized position and every day when I sit in front of that mirror, it transports me back to the 12 year old girl playing with my aunts makeup and jewelry. Hope you and Dezi have a wonderful week. Many hugs - Barbara

[@donnayoung4369]

My oldest sister is 17 years older than me. She moved far away when I was only two, but came to visit. She was so glamorous to me and I too wanted to be like her. She wore delicate hair net bonnets that tied under the chin and came in delicious colors like peach and cream to match her beautiful tight waisted dresses. She gave me one of those bonnets and I imagined I was Audrey Hepburn! She told me I was pretty, she has continued to be supportive and we are so close now. Thank goodness we only live a few miles apart now. Thank you for bringing that memory forward. You are a balm to my heart. Bless you 💖

[@LittlePoet]

I love your sister Donna! You made me day .....

[@abutterfly7975]

I’m so sorry about your aunt Sarah 😢 I had a special aunt and grandma who made me feel so special I will never forget them I miss them. It’s hard to believe it’s real when we lose them. 😢

[@dragonflylife6636]

I had a great aunt too that made me feel special. I forgot about her until you were sharing. She was beautiful, elegant, dark skinned beauty. I was the "ugly duckling", but she always made me feel beautiful and special. I thought she was perfect. Later, I found out she was an alcoholic, a very troubled beauty. I never knew. I don't know what happened to her, I was too young, but I remember how she made me feel. Thank you for sharing and jogging a memory :).

[@kimlbk]

I treasure my time with you each week. No matter what bad thing is going on in my life I know I can escape into my Susan time on Friday night. It made me cry to think about going back in time. I would go back to when I was seven years old and actually have my parents redo their lives st that time. My mother went away to a mental hospital for 2 or 3 months and my dad told her on the phone at the hospital that he wanted a divorce. My sister and I were left for those months to be cared for by our grandparent who we did not know very well. They were austere and rigid but loving in their own way. I have just in my 50’s been able to realize the trauma I suffered because of having my loving parents ripped away and to feel and experience the pain from it. I feel that it shaped my whole life. So if I could change anything it would be that situation.

[@pamlong448]

If I could apply "lessons I've learned" I would go back and live richer and better. I can't so that is my aim for the present and future. I also carry a memory of a profound comment I received when I was 14 years old. It was Easter Sunday and though I was walking effortlessly in both my first and brand new pair of red and white heels (as my smart Mother made me practice wearing them at home first) my carriage was lacking quite a bit. This was due to the fact that at the time I was taller than almost all the boys and girls I knew and wanting to fit in I guess. Anyway a lady at our church named Betty Spence, whom I secretly admired from a far for her beautiful way of dressing noticed my slumping and took a moment to speak a few words to me that morning at church. Betty who was petite simply said tall girls wear clothes best, stand tall Pamela. From then on I started standing taller. And to this day anytime I am feeling unattractive I still hear Betty's speaking to me.

[@wendyk9333]

I agree. There is nothing like Clinique All About Eyes. I have been using it for over 25 years.

[@marysmith8876]

Lovely as always. Thank you. My sister and I had a Mrs Strickland in our life. She wore tight pencil skirts and peep toe shoes and she had blond hair (bottled, I'm sure) and wore make up and always smelled wonderful. To this day we refer to these wonderful shoes as Mrs. Strickland shoes. My mother was horrified but my sister and I always wanted to be Mrs Strickland!

[@Rebalee8]

After watching your blog on Now Voyager, I watched it. A wonderful movie. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Concerning women's ages in movies/tv shows, in the movie Sunset Boulevard with Gloria Swanson, I could not believe how old the charactor was to be. I won't give it away. Boy, have we women come a long way. You are a wonderful example of aging gracefully and looking the best we can. Thank you for sharing your tips!

[@elainemullins7860]

Your Aunt Sarah sounds wonderful! What a blessing she was to a little girl like you. I think the woman who made me feel loved was my grandmother. She loved to go to mass early in the morning and she would wake me up early and we would walk to church. When we got out of church we would stop by a little grocery store and she would buy me whatever treat I wanted. That was so special to me because we did not get many goodies when I was young and the budget was tight. My grandmother lived with us in her own little couple of rooms in the back of the house. I love the Clinique eye cream and have been using the same one for some time now. It truly does make a difference! I hope you and Dezi have a good week.

[@debrandw246]

My lovely lady was my cousin June. She was amazing. She taught me to stick up for myself. Told me I was pretty. I loved her. She was so funny. She always made me laugh and was so upbeat. My mother said she was not a proper lady. I loved her. She was wonderful. I always wanted to be just like her. She died when I was 22 of cancer. She was beautiful. I loved her so much. I never forgot her. Thank you for a great video.
