| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/9/2006 6:22:58 PM | | Well for one, you have Oil of Olay products among many others on the market which is a billion dollar industry to help maintain youthfulness, etc. Personally speaking for myself, I can say I DON'T SMOKE! That for sure will cause you to age big time. As for alcohol, I drink wine coolers; not heavy - only on occasion. I drink plenty of water and just refuse to let BS of the word stress me out. Just recently, someone this very site stated I'm lying about my age that I'm really not 30 but 19 or 20. I was like "okay" and I got ID'd in Apple Bee's b/c I ordered an Apple Martini - I was upset/flattered in the same token. I mean if you look at my mother she's 57 looking late 30's early 40's - not a wrinkle or worry line on her face. It bascially boils down to how one takes care of themselves and whether or not you got good genes running through your genetic makeup. | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/24/2006 1:34:33 PM | not much to it..so I can't get credit for.
1) excellent genes 2) balanced life style (work, fun, rest) 3) a little bit of alcohol preservation 4) home cooking | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/24/2006 10:45:21 PM | | I still get carded and I've encountered quite a few people that do the double-take when inspecting my ID. They can't believe I look so young still, apparently, and they wish they had my genes. I'm not a believer in some of these ideas except for maybe the genes since my job has me out in the sun alot, i've done my fair share of drinking and stuff, i take some high risks for my work, etc. Some people say most Asians are naturally young-looking all the time. | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/24/2006 11:28:44 PM | | I still remember going to Reds at West Edmonton Mall when I was 26.....my b/f was 27 and he got carded.....I couldn't believe it since I thought I looked so much younger than he did!!! Guess all that fresh Canadian air and beer caused some delusion on my part! | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/26/2006 6:49:37 AM | | Well, I am 31 yrs old....I moved in to a townhouse almost 4 years ago when I was well, u do the math, and all the teens thought I was about their age (15-17). Once I hit 30, I started to age, but I still get carded for cigarettes and alcohol which makes me feel very good about myself. And yes, this phenomonom occurs in Canada...lol | |
|

Easy on the stress!!!!!!!!! No rush hour traffic where I live. Hot tub in the back yard,...indeed life is good. | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/26/2006 1:36:52 PM | question is a bit goofy, but it can be a number of things, mostly your genes.... | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/27/2006 10:07:02 AM | Ive never looked my age, but no-one in my family does. Even the guys!!!!! Damn I feel it though!!  | |
|
| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/27/2006 6:11:41 PM | I am not sure what you call TV quality women since there are so many women on TV. But as to the ageing thing. Good genes, good skin care, eating healthy, plenty of exercise, lots of sleep, no smoaking, little alcohal, good stress management. It does not matter what we did in our twenties or the schools we attended. It is not in the water as they say. Just good sence for the most part and some good luck as well. | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/27/2006 6:34:09 PM | ahhhhhhh haaaa my gay friend 'doug' actually said ...tricia you look better now than when we were 18! He was shocked..........
confidence, experience, and yet allowing the lil-girl free-spirit to express herself is the key.......never loose that
oh and NO SUN! | |
|
| Why don't you age? Posted: 9/28/2006 11:12:50 AM | | Good Genes. All the women in my family look younger then what there are. I get told I look like I am in my late 20's. | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 10/16/2006 4:47:06 AM | I DISAGREE >>> I on the Contrary ...Smoked ...Love to sun bath ...Have never used soap on my face ...Never Dieted ...I believe in Genetics. My mother just turned 72 and she is often asked if she is my sister. ...I probably work in the most stressful job there may be but i Love doing it.
... Also recently i was touring the strip in da falls with my son and his twin daughters of 3 years old. While taking my picture on a Harley with one of the twins a tourist walked over to my son and said your wife takes a beautiful picture. My son chuckled and said Thanks but thats my MOM. The man covered his mouth and went to his wife. I have the picture of this man itsin my profile.. Anyways, I have to say i am proud of me no matter what i look like . I dont always think i am pretty or i measure up toothers, but that is from others demeanoring me and now i am my own person and confident in all I am and all I do. | |

But I do like to take care of my skin.
I use the Clinique 3 step program and try to eat healthily. And yes, you do need to drink plenty of water and get a good night sleep. | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 11/5/2006 8:47:10 PM | Here I believe in genetics. My mom never showed her age and my dad is still handsome and he's 76. He even fathered a child at 71. Way to go Dad! hahahaha
I do believe we need to drink water, and rest, and live easy on the nerves though. Laughter has to help too. Just look at ER and she's always giggling. LOL!
I also think dieting is an ager. I don't diet...I'm just me! | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 11/5/2006 9:41:43 PM | It's the Formaldehyde in Carlton Cold... I drank a LOT of it in the 90's!!!
Toe knee :-) | |

| Why don't you age? Posted: 11/5/2006 9:50:38 PM | | What keeps me young? No children! No husband! No ex husband! And always trying to be aware of how you look and feel. Anyone can transform... just have to want to! | |
|
| Why don't you age? Posted: 11/6/2006 9:58:52 PM | I'm constantly being told I look "way" younger than my age. Which is flattering but I keep worrying that I'll wake up one day and suddenly look 10 years older.
Woman today have so many options to help them stay young looking. Olay products help but a youthful attitude is what helps the most.
And don't wear "old lady" clothing. And don't cut your hair short. Yes, I know a lot of women look great in short hair but others really do look better with longer hair. Don't go for that coordinated look with matching jewellry. Dress young, think young but be realistic. If you don't have the body for those cute short skirts I like to wear, then don't.  | |
