1
I had a couple of days free.
2
I looked in the mirror and felt like I was looking a little old.
3
So I booked a trip to Korea.
4
And within an hour of being here,
5
I already have two plastic surgery consultations booked.
6
Okay, so I know it sounds crazy when you say it out loud, right?
7
I can't believe I'm actually at this place where I'm considering plastic surgery.
8
And honestly, it's crazy because I don't feel old.
9
I just do notice some things
10
that come with age make me want to be honest about what are the options out there.
11
And I think this is a conversation that more women are having than we admit,
12
especially women my age.
13
I'm 47, and I don't think anybody prepares you for the moment
14
that your face starts changing before you actually feel old inside.
15
Because mentally, she's lit.
16
But sometimes I'll catch myself on camera or under certain lighting after a long week even maybe,
17
and I'll be like, okay, this bitch looks different.
18
So I wanna take off my makeup and I wanna take a shower.
19
I have a thing with airports.
20
As soon as I get in,
21
I have to take a bath.
22
It's a weird experience to age publicly as a woman,
23
especially when your face has been attached to your career for decades.
24
Like people don't even realize they're doing it,
25
but they compare you to older versions of yourself constantly.
26
I mean, sometimes I do it to myself too.
27
Your face just becomes part of people's memory, you know?
28
And there are versions of me in my 20s and my 30s
29
and when I meet people and they mention certain shows that they remember me from,
30
like, oh my God, I remember you from How Do I Look?
31
You know, you look so different.
32
And I'm like, that stings.
33
I know I shouldn't be internalizing every compliment so much,
34
but I'm a I'm going to be doing it.
35
It's just natural.
36
Whether we admit it or not,
37
there's something psychologically strange about constantly seeing yourself compared to former versions of yourself while you're still actively living your life.
38
And I think that Beyonce's internet is so strange about this conversation.
39
Women either completely deny doing anything or they become weirdly morally superior about aging naturally.
40
But also most people are doing something.
41
Lasers, tightening, injectables, skincare.
42
Everybody is in some form of maintenance.
43
And honestly, I think dishonesty around beauty has become more exhausting than beauty itself.
44
For me personally, I don't even think this is about wanting to look younger.
45
I think it's about more of wanting to look alive on the outside as I still feel on the inside.
46
And that shouldn't automatically mean self-hate.
47
That's the part I've been thinking about lately.
48
Like, can you love yourself deeply and still wanna tweak something?
49
I think the answer is yes.
50
And it's interesting because when I really look at my face now,
51
I don't see ugliness.
52
I see life.
53
Those changes are undeniable.
54
I've got lashes on now,
55
but sometimes I feel like my eyes look more tired than I actually feel.
56
I notice that there's heaviness now,
57
and there's little lines that say even when I'm not smiling anymore.
58
These lines that I have around my eyes right here,
59
these are my dad's laugh lines.
60
I love my dad's face.
61
I think my dad is...
62
My mom calls him Vietnamese Montel Williams because he's bald and handsome,
63
but I love my dad's laugh lines and I'm noticing I'm exactly inheriting them here.
64
And I don't ever want to do anything to them because I don't know,
65
they're like the way I smile, you know?
66
But I do notice that I have heavy frown lines.
67
You know, I do notice that.
68
And I have severely dry skin.
69
So that doesn't help, you know,
70
the elasticity in my face look a little bit fresher.
71
You know what?
72
Let me pop a light on so you can really see this.
73
Also, there are parts of my face that I love more now than I did in my twenties.
74
I actually think confidence changes your face.
75
And I think that's what catches me off guard isn't aging itself.
76
It's when I look tired when I don't feel tired.
77
That's what I really want to I think also in your 40s,
78
your under eyes and you should have a deep conversation because nobody tells you in your 20s about collagen,
79
sleep, hormones, hydration, therapy, Jesus, electrolytes.
80
But something needs support.
81
Okay, so let's get over to my bath now.
82
Just make sure I'm gonna give you a little more censorship.
83
So I'm not the type of girl who just looks for plastic surgery, okay?
84
I'm surrounded with beauty products that are constantly trying to de-puff,
85
de-stress, anti-age, refresh, hydrate my life away.
86
There's one thing I'm already noticing about people here in Korea.
87
They're so open about beauty conversations.
88
Like in LA, some people are telling you the truth, some people aren't.
89
But in Korea, they'll casually analyze your forehead over teeth.
90
That's refreshing to me.
91
I love that.
92
I was born in a Vietnamese household where you were told
93
if you were too fat or too skinny and it didn't matter if you agreed with it or not,
94
you were going to hear it.
95
And I think it's very dope to be vulnerable.
96
Sitting in a consultation while somebody studies my face under fluorescent lighting is a humbling experience.
97
Because even if you're confident,
98
there's something very emotionally weird about hearing somebody point out the things that you've never noticed before.
99
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.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
