1
There comes a time in life when you just stop trying to be who everyone else expects you to be.
2
You stop polishing the edges and you stop hiding the scars.
3
You stop apologizing for the years.
4
And you know what?
5
Something beautiful happens.
6
You begin to live as yourself,
7
not perfect and not pretending, just real.
8
In a world that often rewards appearances,
9
there is a quiet freedom in simply being who you are.
10
Perhaps that's one of the greatest gifts of growing older.
11
the peace that comes when you can finally have nothing left to prove.
12
Hello, and it's great to see each and every one of you again today.
13
I hope you all had a great week.
14
Today, you know, I really have no script.
15
I don't know exactly what I'm going to be talking about completely,
16
but I do know that
17
if all of you who have been with me for quite a few years realize
18
that I started out as part of the Mature Beauty community,
19
well, I eventually morphed into what I'm doing now because it's what I really felt I wanted to say here on YouTube.
20
You know, I am a very minimalist when it comes to makeup.
21
But so many of you have asked me,
22
oh, what is your skincare?
23
What kind of makeup do you use?
24
And I kind of have been avoiding that because it's a very, very simple routine.
25
I am so anti-piling a bunch of makeup on my face
26
and I'm getting to be a little lazy in my old age
27
and the easiest skincare regimen that I can have is great for me.
28
So I have just put together a couple of things to let you know just exactly how simple my skincare routine is.
29
We're going to start with that
30
and then we're going to be talking about other things
31
that have to deal with aging and maybe what we're thinking about now that we are 40 or 50 or even older.
32
Our life changes.
33
We think differently about things.
34
But anyway, I just at night,
35
I cleanse my face with an oil cleanser,
36
Abilene or some other type of cleanser.
37
I usually don't use water on my face
38
and I wipe it off with a tissue
39
and I'm not going to do a lot of elaborate filming in the bathroom to do this because I've done it before.
40
And I can put those links down below.
41
But I use one product at night on my face.
42
And it is a combined collagen,
43
hyaluronic, and I have to look at my retinol product.
44
It's all three things in one.
45
And I put that on my face at night and then I,
46
in the morning, you know,
47
I get up and I don't wash my face,
48
but I put, just wipe it with the toner and then I either just put the Avon Day Cream.
49
It's just a very basic,
50
inexpensive day cream that has been around for years,
51
but it's so extremely popular and always sells out.
52
It has a wonderful, nice aroma.
53
It does well for my skin,
54
and I think it's called Nutura,
55
and I have a picture of it here,
56
and I'll put a link down below to all of these things I'm talking about.
57
and basically and I put sunscreen I use the Australian Dream 50 sunscreen on my face
58
you can get it in all colors I use the light color
59
but they have colors that are darker and I put
60
that sunscreen on my face and I'm good to go
61
and just put on a little dab of lipstick and the lipsticks that I have been using lately are two by L'Oreal,
62
and it's called Ballerina Shoes and Saucy Mauve.
63
Those are the two that I have Saucy Mauve on today,
64
or Mauve, depending upon how you pronounce it in your area.
65
But that's, and that's what I do.
66
And then I just put on some Lash Princess,
67
my very, very favorite mascara.
68
And a dab of boom on my cheeks,
69
you know, from the boomstick.
70
And I'm ready to go out.
71
So that's all I do.
72
That is the extent of the makeup that I wear.
73
I don't do a lot of heavy foundations.
74
I don't use any foundations, actually.
75
And I mean, unless I'm going out at night and there's something very special,
76
then maybe I'll put a light Chanel foundation on.
77
But I don't use foundations.
78
So that's my crazy skincare makeup regimen.
79
It's like easy peasy.
80
One, two, three, and I'm done.
81
And I'm ready to go.
82
I just, at the older I get,
83
I've found that less is more.
84
And if I didn't have to wear sunscreen,
85
I probably wouldn't even put that on.
86
And I just put on my face cream and that would be it.
87
But I know I have to protect my skin from the sun.
88
I saw a picture the other day of Lauren Hutton,
89
the very, very famous model.
90
And she spent years of traveling through the jungles and in the desert without sunscreen.
91
And her face is truly, truly, extremely wrinkled.
92
She's a little younger than I am.
93
But not that wrinkles matter
94
because all of her wrinkles tell a wonderful story of great adventures and the wonderful life that she has had.
95
But naturally, all of us don't want a bunch of wrinkles if we can help it.
96
So that's what I do.
97
I wear a hat when I'm out in the sun for long periods of time to protect my face from the sun.
98
So that's my, that's it.
99
You know, it's not too exciting,
100
but that's exactly what I do.
101
And the other day, you know,
102
I keep going through things because I think about my children and,
103
oh, if they have to come in here and go through my things,
104
I want to make life as easy for them as possible.
105
Plus, it's just me getting rid of stuff that I know I don't need.
106
But I found a zip folder that I've had for a while,
107
and I actually forgot what was in it.
108
And I unzipped it and lo and behold,
109
I found a lot of old photographs of
110
when I was in New York and I was in the theater and when I was 50 years old,
111
a lot younger.
112
And it was so much fun going through all of these photographs.
113
I thought maybe in my haste to get rid of things and to downsize.
114
When I came from New York and New Jersey,
115
I thought maybe I'd gotten rid of some of those photos,
116
but thank heavens they're still here.
117
And I was really super excited to find them again.
118
It was just really nice walking down memory lane.
119
And I found some of my husband's discharge papers.
120
I found a picture of him when he was in high school.
121
And it's just very, very, very interesting.
122
And his final discharge from World War II,
123
he was a merchant Marine and he was on,
124
you know, you go on different vessels.
125
So each vessel that you do,
126
you, you, you know, that's finished and then you go on another ship.
127
But he, he went through a lot of harrowing times in World War II.
128
But it was very interesting because the master of the vessel,
129
when he was discharged in 1945,
130
had a Scottish version name,
131
the same as my last maiden name.
132
And I thought that my maiden name was Atkinson,
133
and this was Atchison, which is the Scottish version of my maiden name.
134
So I thought that was kind of interesting,
135
because he was a young man in his early 20s.
136
And in 1945, I was six years old.
137
You know, so a big difference, a big difference, totally.
138
Sometimes they say that other people know us better than we know ourselves,
139
but I honestly don't think that is true.
140
I was thinking the other day about what we're going to be talking about
141
and I knew that I'd had so many questions about my skincare
142
and makeup that I wanted to do a short little thing about that.
143
But I don't think too many people actually know who we exactly are.
144
I know that my children don't know who exactly I am,
145
even though we've been together for all of these years.
146
My oldest daughter is 62.
147
But we are the only ones who really know ourselves and our motivations,
148
what we think, why we do things.
149
And I don't know whether we're born this way,
150
but I have always kind of marched to a different drummer.
151
I've never really liked to follow the pack in whatever I've been doing.
152
I don't know why.
153
It's just who I am.
154
I've always just felt I wanted to do my way.
155
And even when I was in high school,
156
I just, I just, for some reason,
157
I wanted to be able to do what I wanted to do to dress like I wanted to dress.
158
I wanted people to like me,
159
of course, and you want to have friends, but I always gravitated.
160
when I was a freshman in high school,
161
I always gravitated toward the senior girls.
162
And they were all my friends,
163
the girls that were for all the grades above me.
164
And I just don't know why that is.
165
I've often thought about that.
166
Why didn't I really feel comfortable with girls my age and why did I always kind of gravitate toward my older classmates.
167
And of course, I married a husband that was 13 years older than I am.
168
And my late husband, the one that had schizophrenic,
169
he was 10 years older than I am.
170
So I was.
171
So it's just very interesting who we are.
172
We are born probably with certain proclivities.
173
And when we fight that,
174
that's when we are unhappy.
175
It's being able to really know yourself.
176
And when we're younger, it's really hard to really be wise enough to know yourself.
177
But I have always felt that for even these young people coming in here in our community,
178
these young Gen Zers, that just listen to your own heart and your own instincts. And you be you.
179
No matter what the trends are around you,
180
no matter what everybody else is doing around you,
181
you have to listen to your own heart and follow your own dreams,
182
even if it seems like you're swimming upstream.
183
And how often, you know,
184
I felt like I was swimming upstream,
185
even with this channel, because when I kind of veered away from talking about makeup and skincare and fashion,
186
I was breaking the mold.
187
I was sort of changing the beauty community and how people looked at things.
188
And when I started to grow,
189
then all of a sudden,
190
so many beauty in the beauty community,
191
they started rethinking what they were talking about here on YouTube.
192
And they started embracing aging and more natural ways of aging.
193
And I think that's really a good thing.
194
But I felt, started to feel uncomfortable just talking about a bunch of makeup and things like that.
195
So I had to follow who I felt I really was.
196
And I know those of you who are over 60 in our community,
197
sometimes you've been forced to be put into a mold that was uncomfortable,
198
maybe at your work.
199
maybe in your marriage, maybe in your community with your friends and family.
200
People try to put you in a mold and if it feels uncomfortable,
201
the best thing you can do is just say,
202
hey, I want to be me.
203
I want to follow what dreams I have.
204
I want to dress the way I want to dress.
205
I want to have thoughts of my own that may be a little bit different from everybody else's.
206
But being able to be you and understanding yourself is a great milestone in life,
207
no matter how young or old you are.
208
Don't be afraid to discover who you are and to live genuinely
209
and true to what you really want in life and true to you.
210
I know sometimes that's really hard,
211
but quite honestly,
212
the happiest times in my life is when I discovered
213
that I just had to be true to me and my beliefs and what I wanted to do in my life.
214
And I had to step out of that mold that everyone was putting me in.
215
So if I can do it,
216
you can do it too.
217
Take care and I hope to see you again in my next video.
218
Of course, you know I'm going to Nashville for the summer to be with my son and his family for a while.
219
And wherever you are in the world,
220
please know that you are not alone.
221
You have this community behind you and that you are truly,
222
truly love thank you again for sticking with me all of these years and i hope to see you again
223
for another conversation in another video take care and have a blessed week

- Grave-se: Utilize seu celular ou computador para gravar sua voz enquanto repete as falas. Depois, ouça e compare com a gravação original.
- Refine sua técnica: Identifique áreas onde você pode melhorar, como palavras que soam diferentes ou frases que precisam de ajuste. Pratique até se sentir confortável.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
