I had a couple of days free.

I looked in the mirror and felt like I was looking a little old.

So I booked a trip to Korea.

And within an hour of being here,

I already have two plastic surgery consultations booked.

Okay, so I know it sounds crazy when you say it out loud, right?

I can't believe I'm actually at this place where I'm considering plastic surgery.

And honestly, it's crazy because I don't feel old.

I just do notice some things

that come with age make me want to be honest about what are the options out there.

And I think this is a conversation that more women are having than we admit,

especially women my age.

I'm 47, and I don't think anybody prepares you for the moment

that your face starts changing before you actually feel old inside.

Because mentally, she's lit.

But sometimes I'll catch myself on camera or under certain lighting after a long week even maybe,

and I'll be like, okay, this bitch looks different.

So I wanna take off my makeup and I wanna take a shower.

I have a thing with airports.

As soon as I get in,

I have to take a bath.

It's a weird experience to age publicly as a woman,

especially when your face has been attached to your career for decades.

Like people don't even realize they're doing it,

but they compare you to older versions of yourself constantly.

I mean, sometimes I do it to myself too.

Your face just becomes part of people's memory, you know?

And there are versions of me in my 20s and my 30s

and when I meet people and they mention certain shows that they remember me from,

like, oh my God, I remember you from How Do I Look?

You know, you look so different.

And I'm like, that stings.

I know I shouldn't be internalizing every compliment so much,

but I'm a I'm going to be doing it.

It's just natural.

Whether we admit it or not,

there's something psychologically strange about constantly seeing yourself compared to former versions of yourself while you're still actively living your life.

And I think that Beyonce's internet is so strange about this conversation.

Women either completely deny doing anything or they become weirdly morally superior about aging naturally.

But also most people are doing something.

Lasers, tightening, injectables, skincare.

Everybody is in some form of maintenance.

And honestly, I think dishonesty around beauty has become more exhausting than beauty itself.

For me personally, I don't even think this is about wanting to look younger.

I think it's about more of wanting to look alive on the outside as I still feel on the inside.

And that shouldn't automatically mean self-hate.

That's the part I've been thinking about lately.

Like, can you love yourself deeply and still wanna tweak something?

I think the answer is yes.

And it's interesting because when I really look at my face now,

I don't see ugliness.

I see life.

Those changes are undeniable.

I've got lashes on now,

but sometimes I feel like my eyes look more tired than I actually feel.

I notice that there's heaviness now,

and there's little lines that say even when I'm not smiling anymore.

These lines that I have around my eyes right here,

these are my dad's laugh lines.

I love my dad's face.

I think my dad is...

My mom calls him Vietnamese Montel Williams because he's bald and handsome,

but I love my dad's laugh lines and I'm noticing I'm exactly inheriting them here.

And I don't ever want to do anything to them because I don't know,

they're like the way I smile, you know?

But I do notice that I have heavy frown lines.

You know, I do notice that.

And I have severely dry skin.

So that doesn't help, you know,

the elasticity in my face look a little bit fresher.

You know what?

Let me pop a light on so you can really see this.

Also, there are parts of my face that I love more now than I did in my twenties.

I actually think confidence changes your face.

And I think that's what catches me off guard isn't aging itself.

It's when I look tired when I don't feel tired.

That's what I really want to I think also in your 40s,

your under eyes and you should have a deep conversation because nobody tells you in your 20s about collagen,

sleep, hormones, hydration, therapy, Jesus, electrolytes.

But something needs support.

Okay, so let's get over to my bath now.

Just make sure I'm gonna give you a little more censorship.

So I'm not the type of girl who just looks for plastic surgery, okay?

I'm surrounded with beauty products that are constantly trying to de-puff,

de-stress, anti-age, refresh, hydrate my life away.

There's one thing I'm already noticing about people here in Korea.

They're so open about beauty conversations.

Like in LA, some people are telling you the truth, some people aren't.

But in Korea, they'll casually analyze your forehead over teeth.

That's refreshing to me.

I love that.

I was born in a Vietnamese household where you were told

if you were too fat or too skinny and it didn't matter if you agreed with it or not,

you were going to hear it.

And I think it's very dope to be vulnerable.

Sitting in a consultation while somebody studies my face under fluorescent lighting is a humbling experience.

Because even if you're confident,

there's something very emotionally weird about hearing somebody point out the things that you've never noticed before.

But I think that's the line that I'm trying to understand for myself right now.

100

What's intentional?

101

What's insecurity?

102

What's maintenance?

103

What would I regret?

104

I know for sure that I do not want to stop looking like myself.

105

That's actually my biggest fear.

106

I think fear is looking in the mirror one day and feeling emotionally disconnected from my old face.

107

We can't have that happen.

108

Especially now when beauty standards change every five seconds.

109

Because last year it was pop-sized.

110

Then now it's dissolving filler.

111

Then aging naturally.

112

It's exhausting.

113

One thing I know all women are agreeing on is how to still feel good in their own skin

114

while moving through the different chapters of your life.

115

I'm not chasing perfection anymore.

116

Honestly, perfection almost looks weird to me.

117

I just want harmony, freshness to still recognize myself when I look in the mirror.

118

So I kind of wanted to open up this conversation with my YouTube community.

119

Ask me anything.

120

Seriously.

121

Because I came to Korea to explore consultations,

122

treatments, skincare, all of it.

123

And I'm curious if this is even interesting for you guys to see me share.

124

Not as some dramatic transformation thing,

125

but as a real conversation about beauty,

126

aging, identity, confidence, maintenance, womanhood.

127

All of it.

128

And if you guys want,

129

maybe I'll actually take you guys through this Korean journey with me in another video.

130

Because I just want to know if you're interested and is anybody out there thinking like me?

131

You love the way you look.

132

You love the honor of aging.

133

But you also just want to age well.

134

Mmm.

135

Mmm.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
