I have no issue with legitimate sponsorship ... i think you can tell pretty easily what is genuine and i don't think there's a thing wrong with plugging something and benefiting from that. What happens when it's not.. it just becomes a turn off.
❤ Our son is the sweetest 23 year old, college graduate, great job, gym going, friendly, Christian young man and I’ve had to let go of my worries. He doesn’t want me to mom him anymore and actually shares more with me when I don’t! It is soooo hard! I’ve had to choose faith over fear daily! ❤️ I’m trying….
I'm turning 40 this year, and I fight it, too. I appreciate that many women embrace aging, and we're all different, like you said, but I don't appreciate the people who shame others for wanting to fight the aging process. If I want to put a lot of effort into my looks, that's my business, but I do miss it being effortless like it was in my 20s! No covering grays, no spending money on lasers and injectables, etc. Now, it's a lot of effort to look my best, but it's still worth it to me 😊
Jenifer, I Love these car chats. It’s unbelievable how relatable these topics are to what I have been thinking lately. You helped me just by being able to hear someone else that I respect verbalize my current thoughts. Thank you. You are beautiful outwardly obviously but you are truly beautiful inwardly too. You are such an authentic soul. Unfortunately that’s a rarity these days. Blessings to you and you family. ~Love&Light♥️Carli P.S. My son and only child will be going off to college this fall. He got a full scholarship to one of the top universities in this country. I am beyond proud but I am just now grasping the fact that my baby is grown.
You look so gorgeous in this video (actually all of your videos).thank you for being honest about your products reviews. I bought all the hair care products you recommended and I love the results of my hair. And I’m so happy that these companies are sending you products to try. It makes me so happy to see you happy.
Women are natural worriers. It's our instincts. As long as we don't let those thoughts consume us, then there's really not much we can do but try our best. ❤
@@JeniferJenkinsBeautyI spend a lot of time changing my thoughts. It’s work but worth it. A bad thought comes in, I change it. A stressful issue such as the beach that you mentioned- I really try hard to bring myself down from “oh but my daughter could get caught in a riptide” to not likely to happen and tell her how to get out of it. Uff never ending but really analyzing my thoughts and changing the moment a bad one comes has been freeing😊 I adore you!
Jenifer, you are beautiful inside and out. I can totally relate to everything you’re sharing. I’m 63, and I lost my precious mom in 2015. My father is still with us, but losing my mom is still hard. I take care of myself, and I am aging well. I still miss my mom so very much. This video was so real and heartwarming ❤ Thank you!
You are not negative at all. I’m 52 and I can sooo relate to you! I can’t help it but I get depressed when I look at photos of myself, even of just 10 years ago. It’s just the truth, it’s how I feel. Don’t get me wrong I try to be positive every day and I am thankful for my life but getting older just sucks. I have so much in common with you. My parents also had me at age 18 and 20! I had my son at age 29 and my daughter at 33. I am a worrier as well. And as for the fashion, I try to look my best but I’m wearing my skinny jeans and I don’t care lol!! Also I want to try that whipped vodka you mentioned, I haven’t heard of it! Loved your chit chat and you look so beautiful as always🥰🥰🥰
I am so glad you did this video and reading the comments helped me know I'm not alone. Sometimes I think as women think we are alone in how we feel and think.
I think it’s all in how we choose to look at things regarding age. Yes we get older and change and it’s not always easy, but at the same time it’s a blessing. You gain wisdom and it allows one to learn to embrace those changes if one allows. I won’t pretend it’s always easy, but I always try to look at the alternative. We can do our best to look and feel good as we age but being able to let go a little and realize we had our time being young and now we have different things to put our energy into instead of getting down about our looks, because there’s so much more to us. Life is short and watching my father suffer now for two months in the hospital (he’s back in from a short stay at rehab) has really put things into more of a perspective for myself. Being able to be flexible, and do all the things we tend to take for granted really come into play and worrying about getting older and looking older just doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things for myself. Sorry I’ll get off my soapbox, I had my son when I was 25 and my parents had us when they were 23. I agree, it seems so young! My son will be 31 this year, unreal to me. I really enjoy this style of video Jenifer and hope you do more.❤️
Oh 100%! Looks is just a small portion of all of the changes that come along with aging. Navigating through ALL of the changes at once is the tricky part. Our parents get older and need us a little more, our children become independent and need us a little less, our health becomes more of a concern (as well as our parent's health), our hormones begin to mess with us and the way that we feel from day to day. There just seems to be a lot to unpack and sort out all at once. But like you, I feel that aging (living) is blessing of course, and I actually look forward to becoming a grandparent one day. 👵 And I try my best to keep a good attitude throughout the process, but some of it is just for the birds. Lol! I pray that your dad continues to make progess and is able to get out of the hospital and return to living a happy healthy life. ❤🥰
Boy, can I relate to this video. One thing that helped me with catastrophic thoughts regarding my health is Anita Moorjani videos, and book Dying to Be Me. about diseases not being random things but having to do with our spirit and how important it is to love ourselves and not be a doormat for others etc. and to do what we really want to do in life.
Yes! Getting older is very hard! I’m 65. I don’t feel my age, but I look in the mirror, and sometimes just pick apart the flaws in my face. My husband says I look 10 yrs. Younger and my daughter as well. And lm just thinking to myself , there family! They see me every day! They are just trying to make me feel better. I am fighting the fight though. I am great full for my health, and having a loving husband,daughter, and son. Not to mention my grand kids! Thanks! Jenifer❤
But with all due respect, THEIRS are the opinions that should matter most to you - not some random stranger on the street mistaking you for being older because they don't know you or your life. It's easier said than done, I know, but filtering out the opinions of everyone except for those I'm closest to has helped to vastly reduce my anxiety overall.
Yes! The health anxiety really hit me this year for the first time at age 38. It’s been a rough year and I’ve been worried about every ache and weird pain this year
My parents are older for my age, I’m 44 and they are turning 76 this year. My mom’s health has declined so much this past year and it’s scary. Same with my dad whom has been almost homeless for years and I was finally able to buy him a home but he lives alone in the woods of MT, 10 hrs from me so I still worry about him. I lost my step dad 20 years ago this April. It’s on my mind a lot their aging.
I'm 42 and I know the best makeup and ways of doing it for me. Usually the only thing I change up is foundation, I'm always wanting to try new ones to see what they're like
This video is so relatable. Regarding hair color I saw Jennifer Aniston say she likes her color and highlights and are keeping them till the “bitter end” lol. I can so relate to that and everything that you spoke about here. I also enjoy an occasional vodka martini to shake off the worries. I have two teenage sons and I’m a single mom. They’re good kids and they’re my favorite people to be with. I really enjoy your videos and purchase many of the products you love and recommend . Thanks Jennifer!😊❤
Jenifer, I use Benefit High Brow very sparingly on my lower tight line after I've dried my eye rim with a Q tip or a finger. This is undetectable but makes a big difference. Too heavy bottom tightening is too much of a good thing. And I LOVE Lumify Blue eyedrops. Also MAC White Frost sparingly on the inner eye.
Me too…… I’m 54. Parents are gone…… I don’t completely mind getting older. I’m one of the few people that actually kind of look younger than I did 20 or 30 years ago… I kind of look better. I was kind of frumpy in my 20s lol! But yes, getting older is…… It’s just weird…. Just weird.
I’m the same age as you and my parents are 80 and 82. Sadly, mum has Alzheimer’s, she is my best friend so it burst badly that she and dad struggle so much now. I dread losing them, it will feel like I’ve lost a limb when the go 😢 I was 32 and 35 when I had my two and was a SAHM too, they are my everything, I’d kill and die for them too, I also worry about them all the time. My Heath anxiety has hit the roof since perimenopause and hitting 50. On a happy side note, you look so great, I swear you look more glowing and youthful on every video 😍
Thank you so much! ❤🥰 I’m sorry to hear that your mom has Alzheimer’s. I follow accounts on tiktok of people with Parents affected by Alzheimer’s. It breaks my heart! I’m so sorry. 😞 ❤🌺
I am so glad you don’t do a lot of sponsorships. I still use the pink Clinique Toner # 3 with salicylic acid. I use it for my face, neck and hands. You are 100% correct about fashion. Don’t be a fashion victim. It’s all about the money. When something is fashionable like baggy pants, there are other things that flatter your figure that are also in style. I learned in junior high baggy pants are not for curvy girls with hips. I don’t think men love that look on a woman either. I love an “old money” type of preppy style which is more classic, but I put my own twist on it fashion wise. Tweaking certain things can prevent you from looking outdated, but you have to make it your own that works best with your own personal aesthetic.
The thing for me about getting older, is how to reinvent myself. Now that the kids are more independent, and don't need me as much, I find a big part of my life has changed.
Your current age is more beautiful than as 20. To be beautiful at 50 takes internal and external. This radiates even more than previously because it is earned, not given. Grape juice is sweet, but wine has more value, flavor, depth, beauty, and quality notes. One revels in wine and appreciated during treasured moments. Look at a vintage car that has been treasured as it drives down the street and compare to a new car. Though, it is very different as you mentioned than a new car and more work to maintain… but better. Great job!
I'm 44 and 100% agree with everything from the anxiety to getting older. I've lost my brother 11 years ago and my big sister who was my bestfriend 2 years ago😭😫of course ALL my grandparents. Life is hard, i miss the days when all my family was here and i wasn't always thinking "whose next?" And don't even get me started on worrying about my husband, who doesn't take care of himself or care to AT ALL and already has high blood pressure. He's 50. I find myself just lying there trying to hear him breath at night. 😔
Same age here. :) I wonder if some of the anxiety you’re talking about is made worse due to perimenopause? I’m reading that’s pretty common at our age.
Yes, because after getting acupuncture to balance my hormones during perimenopause my anxiety went WAY DOWN from psycho to almost nothing. Fluctuations in your hormones affect your thyroid which changes levels of seratonin and dopamine.
Out of control racing thoughts (i had them too) stem from the illusion that we have control over the people and things around us. Once you realize that isnt so, you can allow yourself to not go there in your mind. Great video. Enjoyed your honesty. ❤
I find being in my 50s and aging difficult. My dad is 92 and not going to be around for much longer. He is such a dear, sweet man and I just cannot imagine life without him. And ive definitely lost my looks. Thankfully i have 2 amazing boys, aged 15 and 21. And a wonderful, adoring husband. For this i am beyond grateful. ❤
The intrusive thoughts... I suffer with them too and they drive me half crazy. Meds help. Life is hard and aging sucks, but the alternative is not something we want to do too early. I hate seeing my parents age. I wish we could all live together forever.
You look so perfect, it's fascinating. :) I lost my parents young. I was 14 when my mother died of cancer, and then my father died the day after my 31st birthday. I feel it makes me different from other people, but then when I try and describe it, I feel that people think I'm exaggerating or making excuses. I feel like I've never found the right words to communicate how this changes things. At least I am spared all these years of worrying about my parents. My friends (in our mid to late 40s) are going through that. Here's wishing your parents, and my friends' parents, a long and healthy life!
Such a great and RELATABLE video. That’s why we love you! You speak your true feelings. You’re such a joy to watch and I look forward to your videos 😃🫶🏼
I know we are supposed to be grateful about getting older but I've been to alot of funerals lately some aunts uncles and both grandparents . My dads health is starting to go down hill so my mom spends most of her time taking care of him. These times are very stressful and sad. My 20s were the best years. No deaths and everyone was healthy. I would be lying if I said I loved being in my 40s because I just don't. I am very grateful for my daughter though. She keeps me going.
Everything thing you've said is spot on as a mum, I definitely have had the same thoughts. It's OK it's because they are an extension of ourselves which we love ❤
My grandmother was beautiful until she passed away at 83, our looks change over time but I agree that taking care of ourselves and wearing flattering, quality clothes is the way to go! Plus, fast fashion is terrible for the environment and a waste of money. Oh, and she always wore Clinique! Whenever I smell that yellow moisturizer I think of her ❤
I am 53 this year and was in the high end fashion industry as a general manager and personal stylist and completely agree that the industry will push trends to keep a profit margin. I also agree that many trends are flat out ugly and unflattering on anyone period.... however understanding what is most flattering for a body type is important. I have a similar shape to you with larger breasts, small waist and I am 5'8 tall ... a open v neck style gives a flattering illusion of a more balanced overall look....its about balance and being put together. The open v neck will make the chest area not so prominent and more balanced with the rest of our body. I also believe in making sure we have a easy yet put together look. A nice necklace (maybe a pretty quality piece the is everyday - which equals easy!) A lovely layering piece (think stylish blazer that could be worn with anything including favorite jeans or topper or fitted vest). As a side note at my age... again turning 53 this year, I get the most compliments when I wear my hair down and it is long at about 8-10 inches past shoulder length ( I got 2 compliments today at work from customers...one from an older man and one from an older woman). The female who complimented me specifically pointed out that the other day when she met me I had my hair in a up do and that she did not know my hair is long but she " loves it down and flowing! And my male customer complimented the fresh lighter blond touch up and the over all style (which honestly boosted my mood because I had dry shampoo spray in it and on day 4 after my last real shampoo and style so I went to work wondering about my hair being presentable for a polished business look) 😊 I received 2 compliments from totally unrelated male and female about not only wearing my hair down (its about 20 inches long) but also the color of my blonder highlights :) made me very happy and confident in my style choices at my age!!
Amen!!! I would jump infront of anything going after my kids! Most precious souls on earth to me! I also was in my 30s when I had my kids and can’t imagine being in my 20s. Love your videos! 🥰
I loved your mish mosh (😁) in the car!! You had me laughing so much! I’m 50 also so I relate to a lot of what you say! My first born was when I was 36 and I was 42 when I had my 2nd. I lost both my parents 10 months apart a couple of years ago and I will say, nothing will prepare you for it! I pray you don’t experience that for a very long time!! Tell them you love them all the time! Give them big hugs!!! And treasure every moment!❤️
I was just talking about this with one of my friends. I am 62 and I still have those irrational fears now it’s not about just the kids and my parents are gone but now I worry about my spouse and myself who’s gonna go first I pray we go together, I don’t wanna see the day without him. Are we gonna be a burden all those crazy thoughts! I’m glad you said something
Love this car chit chat. I noticed the white eye liner too, so ridiculous 😂 . As we get older we know what’s not going to stick around and what will not.
Yes the topic of trends with fashion! I’m not into baggy things or crop tops unless I’m working out or the pool but I don’t think even with abs .. it looks good on many after like 18-24 years it’s just crazy how uncomfortable I would be wearing those things unless it was just my husband and I it’s hard to find longer shirts that are just plain nothing baggy or cropped but fitted and normal looking in my mind
I have one of those high frequency wands. It definitely seemed to help my daughters acne spot , but I don’t know about all of the other stuff. I guess I need to use it consistently to find out.
I can so relate to your worrisome thoughts before bed and/or throughout the day.. my babies are grown men35/32 and I still worry about them, but now it’s their wives and my grandchildren too🤦🏻♀️😆.. I just continue to say my prayers🙏🙏☺️
You are so cute! I am 52, get HRT because without it, I am insane and my anxiety is through the roof. I just lost my dad and my kids are all out of state and in college. One thing that has helped me so much, and I feel it goes along with prayer and spirituality is meditation. I use Insight Timer and listen to water in the background and breathe. Try to let go of all thoughts for 20 minutes (I had to start with 5 and work my way up - it is hard to sit still!!). It is so effective and by the end I feel like I have had a glass of wine or Xanax because my mind is able to let go now. Doing it every day - especially at night - helps me sleep in peace. It reduces cortisol and other stress hormones as well. Can you do a video on your gorgeous smile? Your teeth look amazing. You can tell people with veneers have such different teeth on the bottom than the top but yours look so pretty and they match!!! ☺ I’m editing my comment to say I am not saying you have veneers, I am saying whatever you do or don’t do looks natural and beautiful! Overthinking here!
I totally think about my aging parents constantly and the thought of them not being here someday is just the most shattering feeling in the world. My dad was 40 when he had me and I am now 40. ( my dad is 80:/) I have a baby girl who just turned 5 months! And now I think about not being here for her someday. Ugh, these depressing thoughts!
Hi Jennifer. Just a side note I cringe when I see people put any liner in their water lines. I used to do it for a short time. But if anyone has ever had blepharitis that will change your mind. The oil gland in the margin of the eyes get clogged. I have had 2 surgeries to get them unclogged and the numbing aspect in this minor surgery is painful! Even the doctor warned me it would be. It would probably be comparison to going to the dentist without getting your gums numbed before you're stuck with a needle. So, no liner of any kind in these eyes! My youngest niece and oldest is your age. To me she seems like my baby even though I was only 16 when she was born. My husband and I had my first daughter when I was20, next daughter at almost 23 and the last at 26. It was hectic but being young myself you just kind of grow up with them. Now they range from 41 through 46. They have given us 6 granddaughters and now one great granddaughter. No regrets having children young! Yesterday, so to speak, I was your age. That's how fast it goes and there is no stopping it. I do the best to self-care, but I hope more importantly my children will be able to someday look back at my life and say, "She was the best mother there ever was". My mother passed away at my age and in my brother's distraught that was the first thing he said at her passing. That is more of a legacy than to have them to say, she looked so young for her age, or she was such a pretty mother. Health is the most important thing so that I hopefully can live independently for as long as possible. Have a great upcoming week, Jennifer!
I can so relate with having kids I would always check their breath multiple times to make sure they are alive 🥹 I will definitely die for my kids ❤ mother instinct is so strong. That’s what makes you a good mother and then at the end of the day you think you are not a good mother. One person said if you are worried if you are not a good mother.:: a bad mother does not worry about that.
Aging is a reminder from God that we only have so much time. Our parents (and others around us) dying ahead of us is too. Masking our age is not helpful to our own spirit, or to others. I believe it is better to show the world that we accept aging and death, but we can only do that when we are not afraid. If you are afraid of death, or if you love your life and the things of the world so much that you'd like to stay forever, you are in trouble spiritually. Let the aging prompt you to cry out to God to help you have a heart that welcomes the death of the physical/temporal. He does not want you to reject or run from your fear, or to mask or push away the reminders. The reminders are there to prompt you to deal with Him before the time runs out. We cannot die loving our lives and the world! "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 "Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." John 12:25
I don’t have much in common with you but I find you down to earth and endearing. Your personality so just as pretty as you are in my two cents opinion.
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty I mean it sincerely. I can’t wear clothes like you because I’m bigger and I cannot use your make up tips because we aren’t the same color. Nevertheless, I watch all your videos because you have a genuine light that makes you a joy to watch. It’s like watching my sister or daughter try on clothes. With so many awful things on the internet, it’s nice to see a genuine person. Keep being yourself. You look amazing!
I love your Instagram and especially your UA-cam channel. I really appreciate your rawness. I'm 50 also. My 1st born just turned 33 yesterday :) and my 2nd born will be 32 in September! Needless to say I'm a very young grandma and I LOVE it!! ❤ I have 6 grandsons and my oldest grandson is 15 😊 Life is precious. I wouldn't trade my life for anything. Everything that you post is SO great!! You're funny too! I like to tell people that I'm lapping 25 for the 2nd time 😂 Anyway... I look forward to your UA-cam videos every week! Thank you for being you!! Have a wonderful weekend!! 😊
Omg, that is too cool! So you were definitely a young mom. 🥰 Your oldest grandson is the same age as my son. That’s wild! Honestly, I can’t wait to be a grandma! 🌺 Thank you for saying such nice things. ❤️🤗
Love car chats. 500-5 grand, thanks 4 sharing this information. That's cool to know about sponsorship and industry. Oh, I'm interested in the facial wand, let us know if you like it. Cute top! ( end of video)
I love all your videos! Please do a nail tutorial, make up tutorial and hair styling and more ‘favorites’ videos! Love your content!!! What nails do you have on in this video??? Love them!
So I’ve a actually used a white or nude eye pencil in my waterline for about 15 years or so (I’m a young 41), and I love the effect it gives - I really do find that it makes my appear eyes larger, more open or awake. Large eyes are generally associated with youth as well 👍 I am quite fair so I can use the white, but if you have a deeper skin tone or a tan, I highly recommend a nude shade🙂 Side note - I tried the Carols Daughter shampoo and conditioner from one of your recent suggestions, and it’s amazing!!! I normally buy salon products but my hair has not been behaving lately- thank you so much for the recommendation ❤
Yes, I think some eye shapes look good with the light liner on the water line, but definitely not mine. Lol! I’m glad you like the Carol’s Daughter. I love it! 🙌❤️
Deleting TikTok was the best thing for my mental health I’ve ever done. I enjoyed few things but most of it was trash content that just kept me up at night adding to my daily worries. I had to do it for me.
Happy Birthday is a victory song. I uninstalled Tik Tok after I had it for just 2 months. it was such an exhausting and wasteful app, and annoying as you say and Life is way too short for that nonsense. Your videos are a joy and very enjoyable.. UA-cam is amazing and so are you!
Hi! I love your chit chat videos. Also, your hair looks, amazing! I am growing my hair from a pixie and it's finally at my chin. You have my dream hair. I would absolutely love a recent hair video of how you dye your hair. Thank you for your inspiration. I am a long time subscriber. ❤
Social media and aging is very brutal at times…. Women in other countries don’t have the concerns that women in the US do… we are waaaay to hard on ourselves… just try to be your best self… and yes we all have the thoughts when pain shows up.😊
I was 17 when I had my first child at 23 I had all my 3 kids we got married I was 16 my husband was 20 now I'm 65 ! I still look great have 7 grandkids and love my babies and have a great time with them! True about the trends I don't follow them I to wear what I like and makeup the same what looks good on me that way we make life easier not harder on us! You look great like always love your hair! I lost my mom in 2017 and my dad 3 weeks ago the hardest thing ever but they lived a good life my mom was 87 and my dad 94 😢 it's so true after 40 you start thinking about dying and who is going to love your kids like you, when your 50 you have pain here and there and people your age are dying then when you hit 60 things really change you have something and you run to the doctor and you say I don't want to die yet, I havd kids and grandchildren your mind goes all over the place it's crazy! Now I'm 65 and I'm not as fast as I use to be i would clean my house with my eyes closed now I take my time and stop to rest lol my goodness how things change 😅 no I still color my hair blonde like I always did and I havd my grandchildren and still go do my nails and my pedicures that I'm not ready to give up I worked in the Medical Field for 40 and I miss work I should have never stoped but that's life now it's just enjoy retirement lol 😂 which I wish I was 40 and stop there that was my best time!
Amen on the fashion trends! They just want us to keep spending. I agree....wear what flatters our own body and makes us feel good. The Mom jeans and baggier look does not flatter my 53 year old body so i wont wear them, regardless of the "trend"
Life is hard your normal, I have Multiple sclerosis and other issues but I don't worry about me, just my Husband my children, they mean the world to me ❤❤❤xxx
There are a lot of trends that look good on camera or on a stage but in person look too exaggerated. Yes, do not ever bury someone in the sand at the beach! It’s dangerous. You can get crushed. It sounds overprotective, but it’s a reality. You have the same anxiety that I often have. Unfortunately, my older daughter has the same thing, and it bothers me that I passed that on to her. 😢
Girl, I’ve been a worrier and over thinker my entire life. Lol! In a weird way I think it’s kept me safe. I think some people are just programmed that way and other people aren’t. No one in my family is like me in that regard. 😫❤️🤗
You sound like me. My mother was 17 when she had me. I am 65 and my parents are 83. I don’t like to think about anything to them. I was 32 having my first daughter and 35 with my 2nd. They slept with us for a while and they are great. I am always worried when they go somewhere different; or really most of the time.
50 is a crucial age for both genders, but more for women. Our bodies start to decay, because we are no longer able to have children so our body wants to send us out to pasture. The only way stay younger and healthier is to exercise (weight lifting) and live a healthy lifestyle. Doing this sends messages to our cells to produce younger cells and that slows down the aging process. 70% of diseases people over 50 have were caused by an unhealthy lifestyle for the first 30 years of their life. Without modern medication millions of people would be dead right now. Fountain of youth isnt in a pill. Its in exercising 6 days a week. Eating healthy, and surrounding yourself with good people that love you. Jennifer, you're doing a job at preserving yourself. You will make a good looking grandma one day😉
Jenifer, I wanna thank you for not doing sponsored videos unless you actually use and like the product. The integrity is appreciated❤
Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
I have no issue with legitimate sponsorship ... i think you can tell pretty easily what is genuine and i don't think there's a thing wrong with plugging something and benefiting from that. What happens when it's not.. it just becomes a turn off.

Our son is the sweetest 23 year old, college graduate, great job, gym going, friendly, Christian young man and I’ve had to let go of my worries. He doesn’t want me to mom him anymore and actually shares more with me when I don’t! It is soooo hard! I’ve had to choose faith over fear daily! ❤️ I’m trying….
When my fears begin to snowball I have to pray to make them stop. Praying has always helped me! 🙏 Your son sounds like an amazing young man! ❤️🌺
Love to hear that ...I would looooooove to hear a video on your faith
Prayer does workm
Work

P.S. My son and only child will be going off to college this fall. He got a full scholarship to one of the top universities in this country. I am beyond proud but I am just now grasping the fact that my baby is grown.
You look so gorgeous in this video (actually all of your videos).thank you for being honest about your products reviews. I bought all the hair care products you recommended and I love the results of my hair. And I’m so happy that these companies are sending you products to try. It makes me so happy to see you happy.
Oh how sweet! Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that you like my hair care recommendations. ❤️😘
Hearing you talk about the white eyeliner is so funny because we did that in the 70's, these young girls think they did it first😂😂😂I'm 65
I’m 35. I do not buy the trends anymore. I buy what I feel good in and what suits my body type. That’s how I feel my best 🥳
Women are natural worriers. It's our instincts. As long as we don't let those thoughts consume us, then there's really not much we can do but try our best. ❤
I'm glad I'm not alone. Sometimes I just have to start praying so that my thoughts don't snowball. ❤🤗
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty that's the ultimate strategy! Take our cares and worries to the Lord, He brings us peace!
@@JeniferJenkinsBeautyI spend a lot of time changing my thoughts. It’s work but worth it. A bad thought comes in, I change it. A stressful issue such as the beach that you mentioned- I really try hard to bring myself down from “oh but my daughter could get caught in a riptide” to not likely to happen and tell her how to get out of it. Uff never ending but really analyzing my thoughts and changing the moment a bad one comes has been freeing😊 I adore you!
Those barrell jeans made me laugh out loud
😂😂😂
Jenifer, you are beautiful inside and out. I can totally relate to everything you’re sharing. I’m 63, and I lost my precious mom in 2015. My father is still with us, but losing my mom is still hard. I take care of myself, and I am aging well. I still miss my mom so very much. This video was so real and heartwarming ❤ Thank you!
You are not negative at all. I’m 52 and I can sooo relate to you! I can’t help it but I get depressed when I look at photos of myself, even of just 10 years ago. It’s just the truth, it’s how I feel. Don’t get me wrong I try to be positive every day and I am thankful for my life but getting older just sucks. I have so much in common with you. My parents also had me at age 18 and 20! I had my son at age 29 and my daughter at 33. I am a worrier as well. And as for the fashion, I try to look my best but I’m wearing my skinny jeans and I don’t care lol!! Also I want to try that whipped vodka you mentioned, I haven’t heard of it! Loved your chit chat and you look so beautiful as always🥰🥰🥰
Those thoughts are anxiety. I deal with that too and it’s not fun. Lately I’ve been listening to Eckart Tolle and it’s helping me change my thinking
I am so glad you did this video and reading the comments helped me know I'm not alone. Sometimes I think as women think we are alone in how we feel and think.
Love these types of videos! Love hearing you just talk about random things!
Those are called Intrusive Thoughts, they are so very real and happen tome at bedtime too. Big hugs
I love your channel and your honesty. It feels like talking to a sister or mom, which I never really had. So I Love learning things from you ❤
Awe, I love that! Thank you so much! ❤️🥰🤗
I think it’s all in how we choose to look at things regarding age. Yes we get older and change and it’s not always easy, but at the same time it’s a blessing. You gain wisdom and it allows one to learn to embrace those changes if one allows. I won’t pretend it’s always easy, but I always try to look at the alternative. We can do our best to look and feel good as we age but being able to let go a little and realize we had our time being young and now we have different things to put our energy into instead of getting down about our looks, because there’s so much more to us. Life is short and watching my father suffer now for two months in the hospital (he’s back in from a short stay at rehab) has really put things into more of a perspective for myself. Being able to be flexible, and do all the things we tend to take for granted really come into play and worrying about getting older and looking older just doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things for myself. Sorry I’ll get off my soapbox,
I had my son when I was 25 and my parents had us when they were 23. I agree, it seems so young! My son will be 31 this year, unreal to me. I really enjoy this style of video Jenifer and hope you do more.❤️
Oh 100%! Looks is just a small portion of all of the changes that come along with aging. Navigating through ALL of the changes at once is the tricky part. Our parents get older and need us a little more, our children become independent and need us a little less, our health becomes more of a concern (as well as our parent's health), our hormones begin to mess with us and the way that we feel from day to day. There just seems to be a lot to unpack and sort out all at once. But like you, I feel that aging (living) is blessing of course, and I actually look forward to becoming a grandparent one day. 👵 And I try my best to keep a good attitude throughout the process, but some of it is just for the birds. Lol!
I pray that your dad continues to make progess and is able to get out of the hospital and return to living a happy healthy life. ❤🥰
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty It’s all so true! Thank you Jenifer, it’s been a rough road for our family.
Boy, can I relate to this video. One thing that helped me with catastrophic thoughts regarding my health is Anita Moorjani videos, and book Dying to Be Me. about diseases not being random things but having to do with our spirit and how important it is to love ourselves and not be a doormat for others etc. and to do what we really want to do in life.
Great book!
Amazing book, it changed my life too! The way I look at things have changed so much.
Thank fir this book recommendation! Getting it today!
Yes! Getting older is very hard! I’m 65. I don’t feel my age, but I look in the mirror, and sometimes just pick apart the flaws in my face. My husband says I look 10 yrs. Younger and my daughter as well. And lm just thinking to myself , there family! They see me every day! They are just trying to make me feel better. I am fighting the fight though. I am great full for my health, and having a loving husband,daughter, and son. Not to mention my grand kids! Thanks! Jenifer❤
But with all due respect, THEIRS are the opinions that should matter most to you - not some random stranger on the street mistaking you for being older because they don't know you or your life. It's easier said than done, I know, but filtering out the opinions of everyone except for those I'm closest to has helped to vastly reduce my anxiety overall.
Yes! The health anxiety really hit me this year for the first time at age 38. It’s been a rough year and I’ve been worried about every ache and weird pain this year
My parents are older for my age, I’m 44 and they are turning 76 this year. My mom’s health has declined so much this past year and it’s scary. Same with my dad whom has been almost homeless for years and I was finally able to buy him a home but he lives alone in the woods of MT, 10 hrs from me so I still worry about him. I lost my step dad 20 years ago this April. It’s on my mind a lot their aging.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss and the worries you have. 😔 So nice that you were able to buy uour dad a home. ❤️🌺
I am glad someone else has ALL the same thoughts I do at this time in life. Thanks for all your videos Jenifer. Rose
The car chitchat, so relatable. 🌻
I'm 42 and I know the best makeup and ways of doing it for me. Usually the only thing I change up is foundation, I'm always wanting to try new ones to see what they're like
Love your honesty! Your kids are blessed to have such a caring mom!❤️
This video is so relatable. Regarding hair color I saw Jennifer Aniston say she likes her color and highlights and are keeping them till the “bitter end” lol. I can so relate to that and everything that you spoke about here. I also enjoy an occasional vodka martini to shake off the worries. I have two teenage sons and I’m a single mom. They’re good kids and they’re my favorite people to be with. I really enjoy your videos and purchase many of the products you love and recommend . Thanks Jennifer!😊❤
Jenifer, I use Benefit High Brow very sparingly on my lower tight line after I've dried my eye rim with a Q tip or a finger. This is undetectable but makes a big difference. Too heavy bottom tightening is too much of a good thing. And I LOVE Lumify Blue eyedrops. Also MAC White Frost sparingly on the inner eye.
I'm 50, and both of my parents are gone, and I hate life without them. I hate getting old. I'm sorry, but I hate everything about it.
Same to everything you said and I’m 38.
Me too…… I’m 54. Parents are gone…… I don’t completely mind getting older. I’m one of the few people that actually kind of look younger than I did 20 or 30 years ago… I kind of look better. I was kind of frumpy in my 20s lol! But yes, getting older is…… It’s just weird…. Just weird.
@@lindalifeetc.5296you do look young, tell me your secrets 😅
Awe, I’m sorry to hear that. It’s definitely tough, but there’s always something to be grateful for. ❤️🌺
@@lindalifeetc.5296that’s a shallow comment. Because the initial comment posted wasn’t about looks.
I’m the same age as you and my parents are 80 and 82. Sadly, mum has Alzheimer’s, she is my best friend so it burst badly that she and dad struggle so much now. I dread losing them, it will feel like I’ve lost a limb when the go 😢 I was 32 and 35 when I had my two and was a SAHM too, they are my everything, I’d kill and die for them too, I also worry about them all the time. My Heath anxiety has hit the roof since perimenopause and hitting 50. On a happy side note, you look so great, I swear you look more glowing and youthful on every video 😍
Thank you so much! ❤🥰 I’m sorry to hear that your mom has Alzheimer’s. I follow accounts on tiktok of people with Parents affected by Alzheimer’s. It breaks my heart! I’m so sorry. 😞 ❤🌺
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty thank you, it’s tough going but we are blessed with each day she is with us ❤️
Love this and I love your channel Jenifer, Thank you!! At 48 myself it's refreshing to find other creators in my age range
I am so glad you don’t do a lot of sponsorships. I still use the pink Clinique Toner # 3 with salicylic acid. I use it for my face, neck and hands. You are 100% correct about fashion. Don’t be a fashion victim. It’s all about the money. When something is fashionable like baggy pants, there are other things that flatter your figure that are also in style. I learned in junior high baggy pants are not for curvy girls with hips. I don’t think men love that look on a woman either. I love an “old money” type of preppy style which is more classic, but I put my own twist on it fashion wise. Tweaking certain things can prevent you from looking outdated, but you have to make it your own that works best with your own personal aesthetic.
The thing for me about getting older, is how to reinvent myself. Now that the kids are more independent, and don't need me as much, I find a big part of my life has changed.
Your current age is more beautiful than as 20. To be beautiful at 50 takes internal and external. This radiates even more than previously because it is earned, not given. Grape juice is sweet, but wine has more value, flavor, depth, beauty, and quality notes. One revels in wine and appreciated during treasured moments. Look at a vintage car that has been treasured as it drives down the street and compare to a new car. Though, it is very different as you mentioned than a new car and more work to maintain… but better. Great job!
I love this perspective! I’m screenshotting your comment as a reminder. ❤️🥰
I'm 44 and 100% agree with everything from the anxiety to getting older. I've lost my brother 11 years ago and my big sister who was my bestfriend 2 years ago😭😫of course ALL my grandparents.
Life is hard, i miss the days when all my family was here and i wasn't always thinking "whose next?"
And don't even get me started on worrying about my husband, who doesn't take care of himself or care to AT ALL and already has high blood pressure. He's 50. I find myself just lying there trying to hear him breath at night. 😔
Same age here. :) I wonder if some of the anxiety you’re talking about is made worse due to perimenopause? I’m reading that’s pretty common at our age.
I’m In the same boat and I’m not liking this phase
That would not surprise me at all! But honestly, I've always been a little bit of a worrier. 😄❤😘
Yes, because after getting acupuncture to balance my hormones during perimenopause my anxiety went WAY DOWN from psycho to almost nothing. Fluctuations in your hormones affect your thyroid which changes levels of seratonin and dopamine.
Out of control racing thoughts (i had them too) stem from the illusion that we have control over the people and things around us. Once you realize that isnt so, you can allow yourself to not go there in your mind. Great video. Enjoyed your honesty. ❤
I find being in my 50s and aging difficult. My dad is 92 and not going to be around for much longer. He is such a dear, sweet man and I just cannot imagine life without him. And ive definitely lost my looks. Thankfully i have 2 amazing boys, aged 15 and 21. And a wonderful, adoring husband. For this i am beyond grateful. ❤
The intrusive thoughts... I suffer with them too and they drive me half crazy. Meds help. Life is hard and aging sucks, but the alternative is not something we want to do too early. I hate seeing my parents age. I wish we could all live together forever.
Same! And our animals too! I wish they could stay with us forever also. ❤️😘
You look so perfect, it's fascinating. :)
I lost my parents young. I was 14 when my mother died of cancer, and then my father died the day after my 31st birthday. I feel it makes me different from other people, but then when I try and describe it, I feel that people think I'm exaggerating or making excuses. I feel like I've never found the right words to communicate how this changes things.
At least I am spared all these years of worrying about my parents. My friends (in our mid to late 40s) are going through that. Here's wishing your parents, and my friends' parents, a long and healthy life!
You are not negative at all! You are just right! Thank you for being just the way that you are!
Such a great and RELATABLE video. That’s why we love you! You speak your true feelings. You’re such a joy to watch and I look forward to your videos 😃🫶🏼
I know that nude eyeliner on the bottom of your waterline is not new lol I have done it for years but you are right it only works for some.
I love these style of videos. Also, sink holes are my biggest fear! 🕳
Sink holes creep me out! Whirlpools too! 😂❤️😘
You are just so likable 🥰
Oh how sweet! Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
You should do some day in the life videos
I know we are supposed to be grateful about getting older but I've been to alot of funerals lately some aunts uncles and both grandparents . My dads health is starting to go down hill so my mom spends most of her time taking care of him. These times are very stressful and sad. My 20s were the best years. No deaths and everyone was healthy. I would be lying if I said I loved being in my 40s because I just don't. I am very grateful for my daughter though. She keeps me going.
Everything thing you've said is spot on as a mum, I definitely have had the same thoughts. It's OK it's because they are an extension of ourselves which we love ❤
My grandmother was beautiful until she passed away at 83, our looks change over time but I agree that taking care of ourselves and wearing flattering, quality clothes is the way to go! Plus, fast fashion is terrible for the environment and a waste of money. Oh, and she always wore Clinique! Whenever I smell that yellow moisturizer I think of her ❤
That color top goes so well with your skin tone
I am 53 this year and was in the high end fashion industry as a general manager and personal stylist and completely agree that the industry will push trends to keep a profit margin. I also agree that many trends are flat out ugly and unflattering on anyone period.... however understanding what is most flattering for a body type is important. I have a similar shape to you with larger breasts, small waist and I am 5'8 tall ... a open v neck style gives a flattering illusion of a more balanced overall look....its about balance and being put together. The open v neck will make the chest area not so prominent and more balanced with the rest of our body.
I also believe in making sure we have a easy yet put together look. A nice necklace (maybe a pretty quality piece the is everyday - which equals easy!) A lovely layering piece (think stylish blazer that could be worn with anything including favorite jeans or topper or fitted vest).
As a side note at my age... again turning 53 this year, I get the most compliments when I wear my hair down and it is long at about 8-10 inches past shoulder length ( I got 2 compliments today at work from customers...one from an older man and one from an older woman). The female who complimented me specifically pointed out that the other day when she met me I had my hair in a up do and that she did not know my hair is long but she " loves it down and flowing! And my male customer complimented the fresh lighter blond touch up and the over all style (which honestly boosted my mood because I had dry shampoo spray in it and on day 4 after my last real shampoo and style so I went to work wondering about my hair being presentable for a polished business look) 😊 I received 2 compliments from totally unrelated male and female about not only wearing my hair down (its about 20 inches long) but also the color of my blonder highlights :) made me very happy and confident in my style choices at my age!!
Amen!!! I would jump infront of anything going after my kids! Most precious souls on earth to me! I also was in my 30s when I had my kids and can’t imagine being in my 20s. Love your videos! 🥰
Your chit chat videos are my favourite videos to watch on all of UA-cam 😂
Lol! You are so sweet! Thank you! ❤️🥰😘
I loved your mish mosh (😁) in the car!! You had me laughing so much! I’m 50 also so I relate to a lot of what you say! My first born was when I was 36 and I was 42 when I had my 2nd. I lost both my parents 10 months apart a couple of years ago and I will say, nothing will prepare you for it! I pray you don’t experience that for a very long time!! Tell them you love them all the time! Give them big hugs!!! And treasure every moment!❤️
I was just talking about this with one of my friends. I am 62 and I still have those irrational fears now it’s not about just the kids and my parents are gone but now I worry about my spouse and myself who’s gonna go first I pray we go together, I don’t wanna see the day without him. Are we gonna be a burden all those crazy thoughts! I’m glad you said something
Love this car chit chat. I noticed the white eye liner too, so ridiculous 😂 . As we get older we know what’s not going to stick around and what will not.
So true!! I've been a victim. Lol! Never again! 😂❤
Lol, I feel like I’m listening to myself in this video. So glad I’m not the only one with all these thoughts❤
Same girl! Glad I’m not alone. 🙌😁❤️
Omg sameeee here! I’m so happy to hear I’m not the only one with constant intrusive thoughts
😳 we are so similar in our fearful thoughts! It’s crazy! I’ve been working on trying to find ways to calm or remove those fears! Take care!!
Same! I usually just start praying when I start having those thoughts at night. ❤🙏
Yes the topic of trends with fashion! I’m not into baggy things or crop tops unless I’m working out or the pool but I don’t think even with abs .. it looks good on many after like 18-24 years it’s just crazy how uncomfortable I would be wearing those things unless it was just my husband and I it’s hard to find longer shirts that are just plain nothing baggy or cropped but fitted and normal looking in my mind
I have one of those high frequency wands. It definitely seemed to help my daughters acne spot , but I don’t know about all of the other stuff. I guess I need to use it consistently to find out.
I can so relate to your worrisome thoughts before bed and/or throughout the day.. my babies are grown men35/32 and I still worry about them, but now it’s their wives and my grandchildren too🤦🏻♀️😆.. I just continue to say my prayers🙏🙏☺️
You are so cute! I am 52, get HRT because without it, I am insane and my anxiety is through the roof. I just lost my dad and my kids are all out of state and in college. One thing that has helped me so much, and I feel it goes along with prayer and spirituality is meditation. I use Insight Timer and listen to water in the background and breathe. Try to let go of all thoughts for 20 minutes (I had to start with 5 and work my way up - it is hard to sit still!!). It is so effective and by the end I feel like I have had a glass of wine or Xanax because my mind is able to let go now. Doing it every day - especially at night - helps me sleep in peace. It reduces cortisol and other stress hormones as well.
Can you do a video on your gorgeous smile? Your teeth look amazing. You can tell people with veneers have such different teeth on the bottom than the top but yours look so pretty and they match!!! ☺ I’m editing my comment to say I am not saying you have veneers, I am saying whatever you do or don’t do looks natural and beautiful! Overthinking here!
I totally think about my aging parents constantly and the thought of them not being here someday is just the most shattering feeling in the world. My dad was 40 when he had me and I am now 40. ( my dad is 80:/) I have a baby girl who just turned 5 months! And now I think about not being here for her someday. Ugh, these depressing thoughts!
Hi Jennifer. Just a side note I cringe when I see people put any liner in their water lines. I used to do it for a short time. But if anyone has ever had blepharitis that will change your mind. The oil gland in the margin of the eyes get clogged. I have had 2 surgeries to get them unclogged and the numbing aspect in this minor surgery is painful! Even the doctor warned me it would be. It would probably be comparison to going to the dentist without getting your gums numbed before you're stuck with a needle. So, no liner of any kind in these eyes!
My youngest niece and oldest is your age. To me she seems like my baby even though I was only 16 when she was born. My husband and I had my first daughter when I was20, next daughter at almost 23 and the last at 26. It was hectic but being young myself you just kind of grow up with them. Now they range from 41 through 46. They have given us 6 granddaughters and now one great granddaughter. No regrets having children young!
Yesterday, so to speak, I was your age. That's how fast it goes and there is no stopping it. I do the best to self-care, but I hope more importantly my children will be able to someday look back at my life and say, "She was the best mother there ever was". My mother passed away at my age and in my brother's distraught that was the first thing he said at her passing. That is more of a legacy than to have them to say, she looked so young for her age, or she was such a pretty mother. Health is the most important thing so that I hopefully can live independently for as long as possible.
Have a great upcoming week, Jennifer!
I can relate to all the aches and pains. My hand and arm was numb. Turned out to be carpal tunnel syndrome.
See...that would freak me out! So happy it wasn't heart related!❤🥰
Hair and make up on point today!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ❤😘
I can so relate with having kids I would always check their breath multiple times to make sure they are alive 🥹 I will definitely die for my kids ❤ mother instinct is so strong. That’s what makes you a good mother and then at the end of the day you think you are not a good mother. One person said if you are worried if you are not a good mother.:: a bad mother does not worry about that.
Aging is a reminder from God that we only have so much time. Our parents (and others around us) dying ahead of us is too. Masking our age is not helpful to our own spirit, or to others. I believe it is better to show the world that we accept aging and death, but we can only do that when we are not afraid. If you are afraid of death, or if you love your life and the things of the world so much that you'd like to stay forever, you are in trouble spiritually. Let the aging prompt you to cry out to God to help you have a heart that welcomes the death of the physical/temporal. He does not want you to reject or run from your fear, or to mask or push away the reminders. The reminders are there to prompt you to deal with Him before the time runs out. We cannot die loving our lives and the world! "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 "Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." John 12:25
I don’t have much in common with you but I find you down to earth and endearing. Your personality so just as pretty as you are in my two cents opinion.
Awe, thank you so much!! What a nice thing to say! ❤🤗
@@JeniferJenkinsBeauty I mean it sincerely. I can’t wear clothes like you because I’m bigger and I cannot use your make up tips because we aren’t the same color. Nevertheless, I watch all your videos because you have a genuine light that makes you a joy to watch. It’s like watching my sister or daughter try on clothes. With so many awful things on the internet, it’s nice to see a genuine person. Keep being yourself. You look amazing!
I love your Instagram and especially your UA-cam channel. I really appreciate your rawness. I'm 50 also. My 1st born just turned 33 yesterday :) and my 2nd born will be 32 in September! Needless to say I'm a very young grandma and I LOVE it!! ❤ I have 6 grandsons and my oldest grandson is 15 😊 Life is precious. I wouldn't trade my life for anything. Everything that you post is SO great!! You're funny too! I like to tell people that I'm lapping 25 for the 2nd time 😂 Anyway... I look forward to your UA-cam videos every week! Thank you for being you!! Have a wonderful weekend!! 😊
Omg, that is too cool! So you were definitely a young mom. 🥰 Your oldest grandson is the same age as my son. That’s wild! Honestly, I can’t wait to be a grandma! 🌺 Thank you for saying such nice things. ❤️🤗
Love car chats. 500-5 grand, thanks 4 sharing this information. That's cool to know about sponsorship and industry. Oh, I'm interested in the facial wand, let us know if you like it. Cute top! ( end of video)
I’m telling you, you have the most sweet, calming voice. Relaxing…❤❤❤
Awe, that's so sweet! Thank you! ❤🥰
Our life experiences shape our perspectives. It’s always changing, for better or worse.
It’s so true!! Good or bad, our experiences create the framework for who we become. ❤🤗
Love your chit chat style videos and when you share your thoughts on life!
I love your chit chats 😊
Awe, thank you! ❤🤗
This was such a fun video! I love all the different kinds of videos ❤
I love all your videos! Please do a nail tutorial, make up tutorial and hair styling and more ‘favorites’ videos! Love your content!!! What nails do you have on in this video??? Love them!
I really like these videos Jenifer. You are such a sweet mom!
Oh how sweet! Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
So I’ve a actually used a white or nude eye pencil in my waterline for about 15 years or so (I’m a young 41), and I love the effect it gives - I really do find that it makes my appear eyes larger, more open or awake. Large eyes are generally associated with youth as well 👍 I am quite fair so I can use the white, but if you have a deeper skin tone or a tan, I highly recommend a nude shade🙂
Side note - I tried the Carols Daughter shampoo and conditioner from one of your recent suggestions, and it’s amazing!!! I normally buy salon products but my hair has not been behaving lately- thank you so much for the recommendation ❤
I remember this very well!
Yes, I think some eye shapes look good with the light liner on the water line, but definitely not mine. Lol! I’m glad you like the Carol’s Daughter. I love it! 🙌❤️
I am the same way Jennifer, I am a worrier and I try not to be but it just takes over sometimes ! I understand completely! 💕
Deleting TikTok was the best thing for my mental health I’ve ever done. I enjoyed few things but most of it was trash content that just kept me up at night adding to my daily worries. I had to do it for me.
I was young (23) when I had my son in 1972. Things were different then. No one was afraid. Fear didn’t rule like now.
Oh I so agree with the white on the waterline. I am 67 my Mum is 89 and doing really well.
Wow, that is so cool! I’m glad to hear that you’re both doing well! ❤🥰
I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant and already overprotective and making all kinds of rules and regulations with family and such lol
Happy Birthday is a victory song. I uninstalled Tik Tok after I had it for just 2 months. it was such an exhausting and wasteful app, and annoying as you say and Life is way too short for that nonsense. Your videos are a joy and very enjoyable.. UA-cam is amazing and so are you!
Hi! I love your chit chat videos. Also, your hair looks, amazing! I am growing my hair from a pixie and it's finally at my chin. You have my dream hair. I would absolutely love a recent hair video of how you dye your hair. Thank you for your inspiration. I am a long time subscriber. ❤
My sister in anxiety 😂 I'm glad I'm not the only one, but at the same time I'm sorry lol
I have the same thoughts before bed ,sometimes it makes me feel Iike I can‘t breath,horrible.
Social media and aging is very brutal at times…. Women in other countries don’t have the concerns that women in the US do… we are waaaay to hard on ourselves… just try to be your best self… and yes we all have the thoughts when pain shows up.😊
I agree with you - don’t like those trends either - just stick with what works for you 👍
I was 17 when I had my first child at 23 I had all my 3 kids we got married I was 16 my husband was 20 now I'm 65 ! I still look great have 7 grandkids and love my babies and have a great time with them! True about the trends I don't follow them I to wear what I like and makeup the same what looks good on me that way we make life easier not harder on us! You look great like always love your hair! I lost my mom in 2017 and my dad 3 weeks ago the hardest thing ever but they lived a good life my mom was 87 and my dad 94 😢 it's so true after 40 you start thinking about dying and who is going to love your kids like you, when your 50 you have pain here and there and people your age are dying then when you hit 60 things really change you have something and you run to the doctor and you say I don't want to die yet, I havd kids and grandchildren your mind goes all over the place it's crazy! Now I'm 65 and I'm not as fast as I use to be i would clean my house with my eyes closed now I take my time and stop to rest lol my goodness how things change 😅 no I still color my hair blonde like I always did and I havd my grandchildren and still go do my nails and my pedicures that I'm not ready to give up I worked in the Medical Field for 40 and I miss work I should have never stoped but that's life now it's just enjoy retirement lol 😂 which I wish I was 40 and stop there that was my best time!
Love your hair❤
Amen on the fashion trends! They just want us to keep spending. I agree....wear what flatters our own body and makes us feel good. The Mom jeans and baggier look does not flatter my 53 year old body so i wont wear them, regardless of the "trend"
Life is hard your normal, I have Multiple sclerosis and other issues but I don't worry about me, just my Husband my children, they mean the world to me ❤❤❤xxx
I love this video! So relatable.
There are a lot of trends that look good on camera or on a stage but in person look too exaggerated. Yes, do not ever bury someone in the sand at the beach! It’s dangerous. You can get crushed. It sounds overprotective, but it’s a reality. You have the same anxiety that I often have. Unfortunately, my older daughter has the same thing, and it bothers me that I passed that on to her. 😢
Girl, I’ve been a worrier and over thinker my entire life. Lol! In a weird way I think it’s kept me safe. I think some people are just programmed that way and other people aren’t. No one in my family is like me in that regard. 😫❤️🤗
You’re so beautiful. I loved listening to you because I relate to everything you said! Thank you for the video 🌷♥️
Thank you so much! I’m glad I’m not alone. ❤️🥰
I love everything about you Jenifer. You make me smile😁. Please don't change! (I've been with you forever)
Awe, you are so sweet! Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
You sound like me. My mother was 17 when she had me. I am 65 and my parents are 83. I don’t like to think about anything to them. I was 32 having my first daughter and 35 with my 2nd. They slept with us for a while and they are great. I am always worried when they go somewhere different; or really most of the time.
50 is a crucial age for both genders, but more for women. Our bodies start to decay, because we are no longer able to have children so our body wants to send us out to pasture. The only way stay younger and healthier is to exercise (weight lifting) and live a healthy lifestyle. Doing this sends messages to our cells to produce younger cells and that slows down the aging process. 70% of diseases people over 50 have were caused by an unhealthy lifestyle for the first 30 years of their life. Without modern medication millions of people would be dead right now. Fountain of youth isnt in a pill. Its in exercising 6 days a week. Eating healthy, and surrounding yourself with good people that love you. Jennifer, you're doing a job at preserving yourself. You will make a good looking grandma one day😉
Dont let yourself go 😢
