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.
Absolutely.. I had a scare recently and lucky I'm good but I have started wearing spf clothing and classy casual spf hats and gloves that actually keep me protected but more classy and put together. I'm now getting IPL to take care of my skin damage as I'm very fair and very excited to improve my skin tone removing brown and dark spots.
Same thing happened to me. It was on my nose, in my 30s. It just wouldn’t heal and became itchy. Overlooked by the dermatologist, I pushed for a biopsy on it. I ended up needing mose and reconstructive surgery.
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.
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 agree, except about the laughter. its one of the best sounds on the planet. its not about drawing attention to oneself, but abour joy. never repress that: in ypurself or anybody else.
@@Plethorality saved raven may be referring to people who screech with laughter, especially in restaurants or quiet settings? I get what you're saying though, about laughter and joy. It really is the best medicine. When we as children laughed loudly my mother would say tinkling bells..tinkling bells. We mocked her at the time (as teenagers do) but now I realise it's true!
A person's shoes say a lot about them and their level of self care and self worth. Your shoes are one of the first things people notice about you. Your father taught you well😊
It should be said that sparce eyebrows can be a sign of thyroid problems, not just from waxing. If the outer 1/3 is disappearing it can be a sign you might want to get checked.
Shoes are so difficult to keep looking nice. I always scotch guard our shoes when they’re new, or after a good cleaning. It helps keep them looking fresh!
You are absolutely right when you basically said "None is naturally polished ...We all have to work at it" That is so true. I also think you look amazing. Its so hard to believe you are 40!! Honestly you are one of those special women who look like you are only 18-20 years old!!!
Something you didn't mention: keep your eyeglasses clean. Of course, you wouldn't think of that because you don't wear them. It makes a big difference.
Hi Jennifer~ I think my eyebrow shape is decent, but I can't seem to get them to stay in one place throughout the day. Do you have any tips on this?! I love your channel. 😊
Good ideas! I do wonder-I live in Texas, north of Houston, and this time of year is HUMID! I can be outside for minutes, and I am dripping in sweat. Not elegant! I’m really at a loss this time of year. Ideas?
I live in South Florida where it’s hot and humid most days of the year. Once someone joked that rubber flip-flops should be declared the state shoe. That’s how casually Floridians dress because of the weather. Curly or straight, thick or fine, hair in an updo will keep you cooler all of the time. It will also keep lank, sweaty wisps from spoiling your grooming. A large brimmed hat is wonderful to keep you from squinting and creating wrinkles on your face. Sparkling clean sunglasses are also an enhancement. Loose, but not baggy well fitting clothes make anyone look better in hot weather. So do lighter colors and lighter weight fabrics. Unless the event is uber casual or you are VERY young, don’t wear unhemmed cutoffs for every occasion. Try to remember that denim is blue; and coordinate your top half to that color. If you are able to, try putting on the makeup you usually wear outside in the sun a few times. It’s amazing how different make up looks inside and out! Ditch Louis Vuitton or any heavy looking bags for your hottest months and try using a straw or wicker bag. Both have a lighter look. Metal Jewelry increases the heat value, so wear the simplest pieces you own. Plain styled, low heeled, walking sandals in a color that’s close to your leg’s skin tones looks polished. Clown colored running shoes don’t! Use sunblock! It helps keep sun damage away and keeps the body a degree or two cooler. Keep perspiration wipes with you, to refresh your underarms every so often. Marilyn Monroe loved having a shiny face. Shiny eye shadows, lipsticks and facial cosmetics make the face look sweaty. Go for a more matt make up.
Can someone tell me what’s so chic, pretty or elegant (I don’t know what to name this) about repeated jeans? I still haven’t found a person to help me with this question. People just tell me that they are “a la moda” I find that as “lack of taste” 🤷🏻♀️
I’m having a dilemma with handbags. Going to the theater now requires a clear bag policy. I haven’t seen any that look particularly polished. Different venues require different dimensions but getting dressed up to go out and then using a tacky plastic handbag has been frustrating for me. Any suggestions?
I do not think acne looks less polished. Concealer and a little powder with touch~every now and then. Many famous women and men deal with imperfections. They still look very polished.
Jennifer, do you prefer the Henry in the Mott and Bow jeans? Do they wash wheel and do you iron them? I am short and hard to fit, but I am intrigued by the styles and the high quality that you speak of.

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! 😊
I'm 61 and found this to be the encouragement and 'push' I needed to care again about how I present myself! "You're never too old to set another goal..." as C.S Lewis said. Thank you, Jennifer!
"Shiny as a result of being rubbed" actually makes a lot of sense with your first comment. That nobody is effortlessly polished! It is by definition a result of hard work.
I have to admit that's got to be my worst trait: impatience. And I don't know how to calm down and accept that people seem to have all the time in the world especially when it comes to service (and especially where I live - Africa). It drives me wild. Any tips are welcome!
What confounds me about messy buns, particularly sitting behind someone with a messy bun on a long flight, is the constant rearranging and repiling of the hair and the remessing of the bun. It’s messy already, quit fussing with it. 😂
I long to be as neat as my Uncle Peter. He was head cleaner in the office where he worked but he always looked neat and well put together. He was what they call dapper without dressing up.
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 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
@@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 a general comment. We're not all the same size and shape...tall, short, thin, large hips or stomach, etc. I have a bit of a tummy and I will never look good in a belt.
@@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. Thanks for the lovely reminders, Jennifer! : )
I love the music on your So uplifting. I’m older now, 68, and staying polished is more difficult than ever. My skin is crepey and need completely different skincare and makeup. My hair is a different texture and clothing styles I have worn for years no longer work for me. But I’m getting through the changes and UA-cam channels help! Thanks for the reminder to stay polished.
I find a woman always looks polished if she wears fewer pieces and moving parts. A dress with less embellishment always looks more polished. Think a simple shift in a gorgeous color and a fabric with body. Pearl studs and a pearl bracelet or gold bangle.
I love the way Jennifer takes what she's saying seriously but has a nice sense of humour and is not po-faced. She wants everyone to be the best they can *for them* .
@@saarah07 it means „humorless and disapproving“ . I totally agree with @Sara C. because I used to believe that being formal and poised meant being uptight and guarded, but Jennifer is the best example for how elegance and warmth aren‘t mutually exclusive. Thank you for showing us that side of „chic“, Jennifer.
All great tips! If you use a liquid exfoliate, try using it on your hands! It will tackle deeper wrinkles. You might want to up your healthy fat content intake. Fat helps to hydrate the body.
Thank you for sharing Jennifer. My mom was always trying to look her best, and she passed that on to me. I find that when I look polished I feel better about myself.
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.
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
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?
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. And I always feel special carrying it. While a brand new leather bag is outside of my price range ($200 and up), I have found several used options on Facebook marketplace for around $50.
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.
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!
@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. ❤️❤️❤️
When I was a girl I remember on many Saturday nights my sister and I polishing our shoes to be ready for church the next day. We also ironed our dresses and layers them out ready with an appropriate slip to wear with it. I’m only 42 but it all seems so antiquated now.
I've done this all my life. I always get compliments but I never say how it happens. I wake up with the animals and obviously they help me get ready. 🤣
We used to polish our shoes with Vaseline the night before church - the shinier the better!!😃. And we also picked out our dress, slip etc. oh that’s right kids don’t even know what a slip is nowadays lol....
To look polished; Good posture, Simple earrings, Hair brushed Lip gloss Clean (pressed) clothes Yes! Brush your teeth!! And the smile also. You said it perfectly. 😊
Shoes are so important! They can absolutely make or break an outfit. The tricky part is finding shoes that are both classy looking and good for your feet. And, yes, we still polish shoes at my house, though I admit not as often as I probably should! 😀
Every Sat night we all polished our shoes for Church and it lasted for the school week. If it didn’t, out came the metal sho-shine can again. 😄 I rather liked buffing it gave me daydreaming time!
I have always polished my shoes and get them to the shoe repair shop if it isn’t enough, they can do amazing tune-ups, in addition to repairs, resoling, etc.
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).
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.
Love this! More “polished” videos please! I’d also like too see more makeup, skincare and purse/wallet (I love the “what’s in your bag” videos) thank you Jennifer I enjoy your channel SO much!
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.
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!
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.
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.
@@ah5721 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).
I love that shade of lipstick you are wearing! As I've gotten older, I've noticed that it is crucial to looking well presented. Finding the right shade is not easy! Too pale makes one washed out, too dark is harsh and aging--orangish is always terrible.
@@debbiehawkes7120 it's like saying eyebrows have priority -- take care of your eyebrows before worrying about men/romance in your life. All tongue in cheek, of course. 😜
Recently at the dentist, the receptionist wore large fake eyelashes. I was so distracted I couldn't tell you anything about the rest of her ! Definitely not a polished look. Thank you for all the time you put into your videos. Hi from Australia 🌺
You’re right about the foot file. A while back I bought the one you recommended, and it is the best. Will try out the Londontown illuminating polish, it looks really nice on your nails.
Great hair & skin care go a long way! I didn’t prioritize mine until I reached 29. I wish I had taken this into account long ago. I love the idea of even having a uniform for you hair! I finally believe I have discovered my true style w/ you & Audrey Coyne’s help! Polished never goes out of style & you’ll always be happy looking back at you!
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 🌷
@@username00009 my fibromyalgia pain for 27 years now diagnosed as advanced Lyme disease has me traveling light. I completely forget not everyone lives this way. Thanks for the reminder. All the best, Julie 🌷
It amazes me how many Yters have stains on their clothes in videos, not to mention extreme wrinkles, like they rolled their clothes up, then slept on them. I think a final mirror-check before starting to record is a good idea, but even if starting out perfect, things can happen, no one is perfect!
"Shiny as a result of being rubbed"! I agree so heartily about ripped jeans not being polished or elegant; for me they are eye sores, discordant, and detract from any top the person is wearing with them. These are good reminders; thank you so much, Jennifer.
Ripped jeans always scream to me, “I’m so insecure that I will wear any fad to feel like I fit in and feel cool” . Same with bra straps showing; just trashy looking. I really wish we still dressed like ladies did in the late 50’s and 60’s...so elegant! Just my opinion.
I think to each their own. I like the look but I don't wear ripped jeans because we weren't allowed to growing up and I get cold easily and would rather not let the cold seep in via holes in my jeans. 🤣
No products worked for my hormonal acne but diet. An 80% carnivore diet, it also solved my insulin resistance and hormone imbalance. The rest was a waste of money .
Little plug for Billie! I’ve used their razors for years. I quit during the pandemic but then went back bc I couldn’t find anything as good. They’re definitely worth trying!
I enjoyed this video, but I have to say that if you suffer from acne it's not just a matter of finding a product that works for you. Keeping your skin scrupulously clean is nice, but probably not a solution. Diet may or may not help. If over the counter remedies worked you would not see people with acne. They work for mild cases sometimes. Acne is fairly genetic. You might have to go to a doctor. Telling someone to find a product that works for them might be like telling a person with a broken foot to buy better shoes. It's more complex than that.
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!
These are wonderful tips Jenn! BTW since covid i started doing my manicures at home and love the illuminating Polish from Londontown as well thanks to you. Its my go-to, now that I strictly work from home. Have a great day!☀️
Jennifer I so appreciate your videos and content! I especially love the rude questions series. I find it incredibly hard to navigate improper people. I get angry and annoyed and just can't seem to shake it. As my mother ages I find I need to correct her like a parent does and find when I observe her interactions with others they come off as rude. Rude to wait staff, talking only about herself, just talking too much in general and not asking about others...oh my. I find myself not wanting to hang out with or have a relationship with her! How can I navigate when we are in group settings and I get embarrassed? How can I get past this 😥 thank you so much xxx
Laura- I hope you will see this message and consider my advice. 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.
O you got me - I was working in the garden the other day - and although I was wearing gloves - my nails need some love. I can´t get the nail concealer in Germany - I´m looking for it via google. Is there something like that you would recommend? Love your videos - thank you! Love from Germany ♥
I find it interesting that people alternately say “look like you made an effort” and “look effortless”. You can’t do both at the same time. It’s unreasonable to expect people to look like they made exactly the right amount of effort, unless that is defined somehow.
You may be thinking about this too hard. Most of the time, "the right amount of effort" isn't quantifiable unless you're in the military. Rather it's dependent on who is looking at you; one person may think you're too dressed up while another person, at the same moment, may think you aren't up to their standards. You won't please everyone all the time. For myself, as soon as I think, "I've done it! I look elegant!" someone tells me that I have a piece of toilet paper on my shoe. We can but try.
Once you curated a wardrobe in classic pieces a d take care of them you can look effortless and take no effort to get dressed, you can just grab things and put them together.
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.
Oh,I need a lot of working ons to be polished myself.Thanks for the tips, Jennifer ❤️ By the way,I'm excited to have your first book.To date,it's not available here in the Philippines but a friend that's organizing a US resource group buy bought it for me and it's on transit already.'hoping to have it on hand in a month! ❤️
I think also having a well appointed handbag in good condition also makes your look more polished. Having the proper accessories and if you can coordinate your finger and toe nails and or bag and shoes, that can also present well also. Just some of my thoughts. Loved this video! Thanks.
Decided to try the Londontown illuminating nail concealer right after watching last night and caught it on sale on Zulilly for just 11.00 a bottle!!! woo hoo ordered two! :-) Thnx for the tips Jennifer ~Peace
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 am after quality vegan bags, shoes and purses (wallet) I have a few cute ones in s all sizes. Elegance can be accessible to all. Even those of us who don't want to eat or wear animals.
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.
Something that I'm noticing that NOONE is talking about... Ladies should learn to wear Pantyhose again!!! Im back to wearing them, but they are high quality 8-15mmhg compression pantyhose!! They give a polished and professional appearance and they are also healthy for your legs to keep swelling down. Yes even in summer. I noticed my feet were dry and I felt cooler in hot weather because of the moisture wicking... plus I now feel confident wearing shorts again and dresses without leg swelling and pain and sweat!! You have to find the right brand and size if you get into compression pantyhose.. but start off with Leggs Energizing hosiery. They cover up imperfections and I noticed they are actually very sanitary. If you're lacking in one area but you wear pantyhose it still shows you put in the extra work.. plus if you miss shaving or a pedicure. Stockings just look more classy.
Thank you for sharing. I grew up always looking neat, tidy, and polished (and still do). Unfortunately, society is different now and I long for the days when people looked more presentable in public. I loathe to see people out in public wearing pajamas and slippers. Hopefully this will encourage people to put in a little extra effort. It's amazing what it does for your self-esteem.
I like the analogy of the handbag keeping in step with the outfit. I often see ladies dressed very casually with really nice handbags in my area and it’s always struck me as odd. However I rarely see someone who looks polished carrying a shabby handbag.
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.
thank you! My mom had a similiar thing on her nose and she successfully removed it. Take care of your skin ladies
I'm glad you had it treated and taken care of. Thank you!
Absolutely.. I had a scare recently and lucky I'm good but I have started wearing spf clothing and classy casual spf hats and gloves that actually keep me protected but more classy and put together.
I'm now getting IPL to take care of my skin damage as I'm very fair and very excited to improve my skin tone removing brown and dark spots.
This is so good to know. Thanks!
Same thing happened to me. It was on my nose, in my 30s. It just wouldn’t heal and became itchy. Overlooked by the dermatologist, I pushed for a biopsy on it. I ended up needing mose and reconstructive surgery.
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.
Congratulations, Michelle.
Microneedling with PRP is doing wonders for my acne scars and taking alot of vitamin C is also improving my skin alot!!
Yes! Same here. Cleaning up the diet really cleans up the skin
I'm always shocked when folks don't know this. It's yoru diet, your diet your diet- the stress and hormonal issues work together.
@@ShinySilverBunny please, what is PRP? Thanks.

It should be said that sparce eyebrows can be a sign of thyroid problems, not just from waxing. If the outer 1/3 is disappearing it can be a sign you might want to get checked.
So true. And with age as well, but thyroid -- low thyroid -- really did a number on mine.
Yes, the best book to buy would be, "Stop the Thyroid Madness" to learn more.
Everything I have learned about poise and elegance, I have learned from you! Thank you! 💛
Thank you, Allison!
Shoes are so difficult to keep looking nice. I always scotch guard our shoes when they’re new, or after a good cleaning. It helps keep them looking fresh!
Me, too, at least all the light and medium-colored ones, which are mostly what I wear.
I can’t bring myself to invest in quality shoes. I have MS and all of my shoes become scuffed within a week, because of foot drop.
Thank you for the Essie tip, I have looked at the ballet slipper and felt unsure
You are absolutely right when you basically said "None is naturally polished ...We all have to work at it" That is so true. I also think you look amazing. Its so hard to believe you are 40!! Honestly you are one of those special women who look like you are only 18-20 years old!!!
I thought she was 30.
I would appreciate if you could do a video on house slippers . Different types and what’s suitable for different seasons .. Love your videos. Thanks
Something you didn't mention: keep your eyeglasses clean. Of course, you wouldn't think of that because you don't wear them. It makes a big difference.
Hi Jennifer~ I think my eyebrow shape is decent, but I can't seem to get them to stay in one place throughout the day. Do you have any tips on this?! I love your channel. 😊
Clear brow mascara
Good ideas! I do wonder-I live in Texas, north of Houston, and this time of year is HUMID! I can be outside for minutes, and I am dripping in sweat. Not elegant! I’m really at a loss this time of year. Ideas?
I live in South Florida where it’s hot and humid most days of the year. Once someone joked that rubber flip-flops should be declared the state shoe. That’s how casually Floridians dress because of the weather.
Curly or straight, thick or fine, hair in an updo will keep you cooler all of the time. It will also keep lank, sweaty wisps from spoiling your grooming. A large brimmed hat is wonderful to keep you from squinting and creating wrinkles on your face. Sparkling clean sunglasses are also an enhancement.
Loose, but not baggy well fitting clothes make anyone look better in hot weather. So do lighter colors and lighter weight fabrics. Unless the event is uber casual or you are VERY young, don’t wear unhemmed cutoffs for every occasion. Try to remember that denim is blue; and coordinate your top half to that color.
If you are able to, try putting on the makeup you usually wear outside in the sun a few times. It’s amazing how different make up looks inside and out!
Ditch Louis Vuitton or any heavy looking bags for your hottest months and try using a straw or wicker bag. Both have a lighter look. Metal Jewelry increases the heat value, so wear the simplest pieces you own.
Plain styled, low heeled, walking sandals in a color that’s close to your leg’s skin tones looks polished. Clown colored running shoes don’t!
Use sunblock! It helps keep sun damage away and keeps the body a degree or two cooler.
Keep perspiration wipes with you, to refresh your underarms every so often.
Marilyn Monroe loved having a shiny face. Shiny eye shadows, lipsticks and facial cosmetics make the face look sweaty. Go for a more matt make up.
Great ideas!
I absolutely love all your videos. But please do another one with your husband on etiquette, those ones are still my favorite's.
Can someone tell me what’s so chic, pretty or elegant (I don’t know what to name this) about repeated jeans? I still haven’t found a person to help me with this question. People just tell me that they are “a la moda” I find that as “lack of taste” 🤷🏻♀️
I’m having a dilemma with handbags. Going to the theater now requires a clear bag policy. I haven’t seen any that look particularly polished. Different venues require different dimensions but getting dressed up to go out and then using a tacky plastic handbag has been frustrating for me. Any suggestions?
I do not think acne looks less polished. Concealer and a little powder with touch~every now and then. Many famous women and men deal with imperfections. They still look very polished.
Jennifer, do you prefer the Henry in the Mott and Bow jeans? Do they wash wheel and do you iron them? I am short and hard to fit, but I am intrigued by the styles and the high quality that you speak of.
Yes, I love them. And no, I never iron them. Just hang dry...
Wonderful tips. I also use a Billie razor! Love it😇

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.
#ThankYou lady Scott 💝
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! 😊
I'm 61 and found this to be the encouragement and 'push' I needed to care again about how I present myself! "You're never too old to set another goal..." as C.S Lewis said. Thank you, Jennifer!
☺️
"Shiny as a result of being rubbed" actually makes a lot of sense with your first comment. That nobody is effortlessly polished! It is by definition a result of hard work.
All great tips! Also, i believe smelling good and having a good breath is important too. ❤
Also, not doing things in a hurry. At a steady and mindful pace.
I have to admit that's got to be my worst trait: impatience. And I don't know how to calm down and accept that people seem to have all the time in the world especially when it comes to service (and especially where I live - Africa). It drives me wild. Any tips are welcome!
Yes
What confounds me about messy buns, particularly sitting behind someone with a messy bun on a long flight, is the constant rearranging and repiling of the hair and the remessing of the bun. It’s messy already, quit fussing with it. 😂

My central air unit broke last Monday and the repairman is coming tomorrow; I definitely am NOT looking polished these days! I would love a part 2.
Oh dear!
As my dad used to say, "it's all in the details". He was always polished.
I long to be as neat as my Uncle Peter. He was head cleaner in the office where he worked but he always looked neat and well put together. He was what they call dapper without dressing up.
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.
What did the boys wear? To attract attention from the opposite sex isn't everyone's constant goal.
@@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
@@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 a general comment.
We're not all the same size and shape...tall, short, thin, large hips or stomach, etc. I have a bit of a tummy and I will never look good in a belt.
@@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.
Regarding jeans. Why don’t designers make women’s jeans like men’s in different lengths?
Many do. 🌸
Lenghts and styles! So few women can pull off the skinny jean and most shouldn't even look at them. Ugh
Luxury designers mostly don’t, sadly. But Express and Gap have been my recent go to because they do different lengths.
@@chicalertng Old Navy does too
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. Thanks for the lovely reminders, Jennifer! : )
The neutral smirk!
Grinning like a clown 😂
very good point with the teeth 👍🏼🦷🪥😀
teeth, posture and smile!
the trifecta!!! : )
Guilty, my handbag is mostly a mess. I organize it. It is clean but I think I pack mine like our diaper bag. Just in case of an IDK what.
I love the music on your So uplifting. I’m older now, 68, and staying polished is more difficult than ever. My skin is crepey and need completely different skincare and makeup. My hair is a different texture and clothing styles I have worn for years no longer work for me. But I’m getting through the changes and UA-cam channels help! Thanks for the reminder to stay polished.
Me too
I find a woman always looks polished if she wears fewer pieces and moving parts. A dress with less embellishment always looks more polished. Think a simple shift in a gorgeous color and a fabric with body. Pearl studs and a pearl bracelet or gold bangle.
I love the way Jennifer takes what she's saying seriously but has a nice sense of humour and is not po-faced. She wants everyone to be the best they can *for them* .
I'm so glad I'm not po-faced. Thank you! 😆
What is po-faced 😆?
@@saarah07 it means „humorless and disapproving“ . I totally agree with @Sara C. because I used to believe that being formal and poised meant being uptight and guarded, but Jennifer is the best example for how elegance and warmth aren‘t mutually exclusive. Thank you for showing us that side of „chic“, Jennifer.
All great tips!
If you use a liquid exfoliate, try using it on your hands! It will tackle deeper wrinkles. You might want to up your healthy fat content intake. Fat helps to hydrate the body.
Great idea! Thank you!
I use a cheap retinol on my hands, the Ordinary makes one.
Very true about fat in the diet, otherwise dry flakey skin, that creams never cover
Thank you for sharing Jennifer. My mom was always trying to look her best, and she passed that on to me. I find that when I look polished I feel better about myself.
She would be proud of you! ♥️
Sweet!
These are great tips! Also, posture - something I always struggle with - goes a long way toward looking polished. Would love a part two!
If you improve your core strength you will automatically stand straighter (unless of course you have spine issues.)
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.
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
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?
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.
@@mimsalamims6571 I agree. No need to be this judgmental about ripped jeans 🙄
I agree 💯 patty 8873 I did that look in my teens and it looks silly on any woman over 25
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. And I always feel special carrying it. While a brand new leather bag is outside of my price range ($200 and up), I have found several used options on Facebook marketplace for around $50.
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.
I agree, heavy makeup, bleached dark hair, etc.
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!
The blue and green hair and nails. Why do some women want to make themselves look bad...I don't get it.
@@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. ❤️❤️❤️
When I was a girl I remember on many Saturday nights my sister and I polishing our shoes to be ready for church the next day. We also ironed our dresses and layers them out ready with an appropriate slip to wear with it. I’m only 42 but it all seems so antiquated now.
I still do all of that (age 61).
I try to pick out my outfit for church, even put it on to mack sure it looks right. Pick out my add ins. Redo my nails, and clean my shoes.
@@brendaackerman9941 same!
I've done this all my life. I always get compliments but I never say how it happens. I wake up with the animals and obviously they help me get ready. 🤣
We used to polish our shoes with Vaseline the night before church - the shinier the better!!😃. And we also picked out our dress, slip etc. oh that’s right kids don’t even know what a slip is nowadays lol....
To look polished;
Good posture,
Simple earrings,
Hair brushed
Lip gloss
Clean (pressed) clothes
Yes! Brush your teeth!! And the smile also. You said it perfectly. 😊
Shoes are so important! They can absolutely make or break an outfit. The tricky part is finding shoes that are both classy looking and good for your feet. And, yes, we still polish shoes at my house, though I admit not as often as I probably should! 😀
It's funny how often people compliment well polished shoes, not that they realise that's why they look good :)
I remember polishing my Dad's dress shoes for him.
Me too. My father was a drill sergeant in the army back in the day. He’s 75 now and still insists on polished shoes. 🥰
Every Sat night we all polished our shoes for Church and it lasted for the school week. If it didn’t, out came the metal sho-shine can again. 😄 I rather liked buffing it gave me daydreaming time!
I have always polished my shoes and get them to the shoe repair shop if it isn’t enough, they can do amazing tune-ups, in addition to repairs, resoling, etc.
I am Polish. Does that count?
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).
Can’t do much about age spots when you’ve e lived six or seven decades.
I misread the title as “polish your loot.”😂
I did too. I thought, "ooh we're classy pirates!"
@@blukhrrngtn7659 😝
Lol
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.
Love this! More “polished” videos please! I’d also like too see more makeup, skincare and purse/wallet (I love the “what’s in your bag” videos) thank you Jennifer I enjoy your channel SO much!
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.
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!
Thank you. Part 2 please! Also OPI in Bubble Bath.
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.
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.
@@ah5721 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).
I agree. It makes your skin look dirty.
Whenever I see someone with a tattoo, I get an urge to wash them.
Great tips. I’d like to add good posture to the list. You’ll look polished and self-confident, and be healthier!
Ouch! I'm busted on several points. Thanks, Jennifer!
Jennifer, you are my visual therapy! Love from the Czech Republic 🌷⚜️
Billie is not a good company, and definitely does not fit your branding as it’s not a polished, feminine image. Disappointed
I love that shade of lipstick you are wearing! As I've gotten older, I've noticed that it is crucial to looking well presented. Finding the right shade is not easy! Too pale makes one washed out, too dark is harsh and aging--orangish is always terrible.
“Brows before bros” 😂😂😂
😁
Sorry, fellas! 😂
What are bro’s?
@@debbiehawkes7120 it's like saying eyebrows have priority -- take care of your eyebrows before worrying about men/romance in your life. All tongue in cheek, of course. 😜
@@debbiehawkes7120 I wondered that but was scared to ask!
My thing is teeth and nails. Especially toe nails in summer with sandals. I don’t like unpolished toes. 💕
Recently at the dentist, the receptionist wore large fake eyelashes. I was so distracted I couldn't tell you anything about the rest of her ! Definitely not a polished look. Thank you for all the time you put into your videos. Hi from Australia 🌺
Wearing wrong or too heavy make-up is the quickest way to ruin your looks and sometimes make you look ridiculous
I’m not a fan of false lashes in the daytime, especially at work. I think they look trashy.
Knocked it out of the ballpark with this video 👍👏❣️
Wow, that dress is a dream on you - so summery and feminine. Beautiful!
I care more about being clean and natural. I wear a skirt and a tee and I feel happy with that.
You’re right about the foot file. A while back I bought the one you recommended, and it is the best. Will try out the Londontown illuminating polish, it looks really nice on your nails.
These were wonderful tips! I need to work on several of these!😂☺️ I would also love a follow up video Jennifer! Thank you!💗
Thank you, Amanda!
Great tips! Working on different parts of being polished is fun!
Great hair & skin care go a long way! I didn’t prioritize mine until I reached 29. I wish I had taken this into account long ago. I love the idea of even having a uniform for you hair! I finally believe I have discovered my true style w/ you & Audrey Coyne’s help! Polished never goes out of style & you’ll always be happy looking back at you!
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. ♥️

Tip money.....
It amazes me how many Yters have stains on their clothes in videos, not to mention extreme wrinkles, like they rolled their clothes up, then slept on them. I think a final mirror-check before starting to record is a good idea, but even if starting out perfect, things can happen, no one is perfect!
"Shiny as a result of being rubbed"! I agree so heartily about ripped jeans not being polished or elegant; for me they are eye sores, discordant, and detract from any top the person is wearing with them. These are good reminders; thank you so much, Jennifer.
I liked that first definition, Paula!
Ripped jeans always scream to me, “I’m so insecure that I will wear any fad to feel like I fit in and feel cool” . Same with bra straps showing; just trashy looking. I really wish we still dressed like ladies did in the late 50’s and 60’s...so elegant! Just my opinion.
I think to each their own. I like the look but I don't wear ripped jeans because we weren't allowed to growing up and I get cold easily and would rather not let the cold seep in via holes in my jeans. 🤣
No products worked for my hormonal acne but diet. An 80% carnivore diet, it also solved my insulin resistance and hormone imbalance. The rest was a waste of money .
I have a wrinkle free dress, bought 2nd hand. I would like get more. What materials/brands do I have to look for? Thank you!
Little plug for Billie! I’ve used their razors for years. I quit during the pandemic but then went back bc I couldn’t find anything as good. They’re definitely worth trying!
Yes! I am so pleased with this razor. Miles better than the drugstore variety I was using.
I enjoyed this video, but I have to say that if you suffer from acne it's not just a matter of finding a product that works for you. Keeping your skin scrupulously clean is nice, but probably not a solution. Diet may or may not help. If over the counter remedies worked you would not see people with acne. They work for mild cases sometimes.
Acne is fairly genetic. You might have to go to a doctor. Telling someone to find a product that works for them might be like telling a person with a broken foot to buy better shoes. It's more complex than that.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Loved the video!!! And of course I would love to see a part 2
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!
Do you polish your nails daily?
These are wonderful tips Jenn! BTW since covid i started doing my manicures at home and love the illuminating Polish from Londontown as well thanks to you. Its my go-to, now that I strictly work from home. Have a great day!☀️
Amazing!
Jennifer I so appreciate your videos and content! I especially love the rude questions series. I find it incredibly hard to navigate improper people. I get angry and annoyed and just can't seem to shake it. As my mother ages I find I need to correct her like a parent does and find when I observe her interactions with others they come off as rude. Rude to wait staff, talking only about herself, just talking too much in general and not asking about others...oh my. I find myself not wanting to hang out with or have a relationship with her! How can I navigate when we are in group settings and I get embarrassed? How can I get past this 😥 thank you so much xxx
Laura- I hope you will see this message and consider my advice. 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.
@@faithstar7454 thank you Faith and you are so right. I am aware of these things but again..just loving is all we are called to do in the end . 💜🧡💜
O you got me - I was working in the garden the other day - and although I was wearing gloves - my nails need some love. I can´t get the nail concealer in Germany - I´m looking for it via google. Is there something like that you would recommend? Love your videos - thank you! Love from Germany ♥

I find it interesting that people alternately say “look like you made an effort” and “look effortless”. You can’t do both at the same time. It’s unreasonable to expect people to look like they made exactly the right amount of effort, unless that is defined somehow.
You may be thinking about this too hard. Most of the time, "the right amount of effort" isn't quantifiable unless you're in the military. Rather it's dependent on who is looking at you; one person may think you're too dressed up while another person, at the same moment, may think you aren't up to their standards. You won't please everyone all the time. For myself, as soon as I think, "I've done it! I look elegant!" someone tells me that I have a piece of toilet paper on my shoe. We can but try.
@@edennis8578 : )
Once you curated a wardrobe in classic pieces a d take care of them you can look effortless and take no effort to get dressed, you can just grab things and put them together.
Thanks Jennifer for this inspiring video. Could you please do an item about how to avoid staining teeth and how to keep teeth white?
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.
Oh,I need a lot of working ons to be polished myself.Thanks for the tips, Jennifer ❤️
By the way,I'm excited to have your first book.To date,it's not available here in the Philippines but a friend that's organizing a US resource group buy bought it for me and it's on transit already.'hoping to have it on hand in a month! ❤️
How wonderful. Thank you!
I always enjoy videos like this for the reminders to pay attention to areas I may have been allowing to slide. Thank you, Jennifer!
Thank you, Jesse!
I can second the Paula’s Choice products. I’ve used them for 25 years and can attest to their efficacy.
I think also having a well appointed handbag in good condition also makes your look more polished. Having the proper accessories and if you can coordinate your finger and toe nails and or bag and shoes, that can also present well also. Just some of my thoughts. Loved this video! Thanks.
Decided to try the Londontown illuminating nail concealer right after watching last night and caught it on sale on Zulilly for just 11.00 a bottle!!! woo hoo ordered two! :-) Thnx for the tips Jennifer ~Peace
I’m getting this too.
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!
Really good tips! Thanks Jennifer
I am after quality vegan bags, shoes and purses (wallet) I have a few cute ones in s all sizes. Elegance can be accessible to all. Even those of us who don't want to eat or wear animals.
Agree 100%!!
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.
😳 oh dear I’ve failed on every point
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.
Something that I'm noticing that NOONE is talking about... Ladies should learn to wear Pantyhose again!!! Im back to wearing them, but they are high quality 8-15mmhg compression pantyhose!! They give a polished and professional appearance and they are also healthy for your legs to keep swelling down. Yes even in summer. I noticed my feet were dry and I felt cooler in hot weather because of the moisture wicking... plus I now feel confident wearing shorts again and dresses without leg swelling and pain and sweat!! You have to find the right brand and size if you get into compression pantyhose.. but start off with Leggs Energizing hosiery. They cover up imperfections and I noticed they are actually very sanitary. If you're lacking in one area but you wear pantyhose it still shows you put in the extra work.. plus if you miss shaving or a pedicure. Stockings just look more classy.
Thank you for sharing. I grew up always looking neat, tidy, and polished (and still do). Unfortunately, society is different now and I long for the days when people looked more presentable in public. I loathe to see people out in public wearing pajamas and slippers. Hopefully this will encourage people to put in a little extra effort. It's amazing what it does for your self-esteem.
I like the analogy of the handbag keeping in step with the outfit. I often see ladies dressed very casually with really nice handbags in my area and it’s always struck me as odd. However I rarely see someone who looks polished carrying a shabby handbag.
