Susan, we're you at my daughter's house this wek?? Ha, Ha! The conversation we had was so like what you were describing about the world seeing us "grandmothers" in a certain way or how they perceive we should be. I love my grandchildren beyond words but, I am not only "Grandma"! My daughter prints on tee shirts, sweatshirts etc. She says" Do you want a sweatshirt? Yes of course! So she says what do you want on it? I wanted my name , my name the world calls me on the pocket area. She says Why would you want that? The kids other Grandmother has me put something about being a Nana on everything she orders. I looked at her like who are u and Saud Darling I love being Gammy but Gammy is not my whole identity! I'm still Ballery !! Just because you become a grandmother or have been for 18 years doesn't mean you stopped being a woman. Yes I want the world to know I'm a grandmother but I also want the world to know I'm a woman with a full other identity also! Okay that's my grandmother rant for today ! Oh yea, and my name is Ballery !😂

This was very deep and very wise...we are so many things to so many people...not just " one" thing! We have to be the girl we always were...that sort of hit me this week. I LOVE being Grandma!! But I am not the little old lady on TV screaming about my Medicare....and I could see where we have to be careful to strike a true balance between the woman we are,..the woman we were and the woman we still strive to be! No titles...just living large and free!!! Love to you! Susan & Dez

Susan, listen and listen good. You are a beautiful woman with smooth skin who I could not possibly age if I didn't know your age, but it would definitely not be over 65. Secondly, you are one of the too few who have made your mark on the world. You have brought comfort to thousands of people with your channel and love into the lives of your family and friends (including Desi). Please don't despair about getting older (even though I do). Everyone is lucky to have you. You are a pleasure to have around and a pleasure to look at. My friend is so jealous of your hair and I love your beautiful face, dress sense and honesty. You are a poetic soul with magic running through your veins. I wish you nothing but love and happiness going forward xx

I think the problem is some people see us as the Grandma who was young in the thirties, forties or even before that. They don't see us as someone who wore mini skirts, someone who protested the Vietnam war, who loved heavy metal music while enjoying the Everley Brothers, or conquered space travel, etc. We were at our prime in the sixties, seventies, or eighties. *👴👵The people they see in us were our grandparents, not us.*

I just turned70 and I am experiencing identity crisis. I have lost so many things in the past few years. My health has declined from autoimmune disease, I sold my house and moved closer to my daughter because of my disability. My boyfriend died last March and my best friend did too same month. 😢 It's too much change and loss. I feel so utterly defeated and lost. Why does life have to be so hard. Maybe in time I will adjust but seeing our world in so much chaos scares me. It's hard to get old and see life change!! Thanks to u and Desi for being there❤

I'm a carnivore, eat lots of beef, meats, seafood, cheese and grass fed butter. For me, that's the proper human diet. All my inflammation disappeared and I take no medications. I'm 75 and someone thought I was 50 the other day! We need sufficient amounts of quality protein to rebuild cells and skin. Love your videos, Susan. You are a light.

I’m 72 and I am a caregiver for a lady who is 3 years older than me, every time I take her to a doctors appointment someone will think I am her daughter.

Don’t change to suit the whims of others- if you must, change because it’s something you need to do to make your life better!! I’m definitely learning that as I navigate through my 50s+!! I’m African American, going through menopause & trying to find what works best for me as to dealing with skincare and all the other challenges that brings. I’m also trying to improve my diet& drinking more water. Thanks for sharing what works for you and suggestions for all of us to find our own solutions to these aging issues.

I'm right there with you. Surprises me too. I listen to a sing back during Disco days and in my mind I picture myself dancing , remembering where I was, what I was doing, who I was dating. I had no interest marrying young. Well very young, I was 37 when I did after I lived with my boyfriend of 7 yrs to become my husband. I try to dance to these songs, I do ok but can't do certain steps like squatting way down or last thru the song. Get tired and winded quicker.

Go Susan!!! I agree with you so much! Just because we turn 70 or 70 plus doesn't mean we are going to wither up and become a shadow of who we are! I still think sex, looking my best, having new adventures and not acting like someone's idea of a little old granny keeps me vibrant and interesting. My 94 year old Mom thinks so too (well, perhaps not the sex part 😂)! And everyone cannot eat the same way either! All of us have unique differences. I too do better when I don't eat meat. But I also don't eat sugar. My body is unique to me. I have a friend who thrives on Keto and another who is doing great as a vegan. I respect their uniqueness and they respect mine. Sassy is in and I plan to be that way forever!

I have to say that I'm with you on the subject of aging! I don't want to look or act like so many women my age. I'll be 67 in December and I sure don't feel that age. At least the way 'they' portray us to be. I love to dress cute, wear makeup and do my hair. I still run up and down our stairs! I'm not giving up and just getting old. I'm doing everything I can to stay strong and healthy.

I just love how you sang happy birthday to Desi, Susan...and the beautiful way he looked at you afterwards. He is such a heavenly gift- I love him SO much!

I'm italian raised in italy . Here we love pasta and bread as you all know but many years ago i spent two weeks in croatia , in a little village on the sea front . I rent a tiny house and the owner proposed me to let her cook for me twice a day for a small sum of money . She served everyday a generous portion of fresh fish caught by her elderly father and plenty of vegetable fom her garden .no bread , no rice ,no crackers . I have never felt better in my life . My body and my brain were energized . This is my experience . I came back to italy and got back to my old way of eating . Now i'm sixty and would like to change my lifestyle . i'm not overweight but i feel intoxicated if very seldom i eat certain foods like sweets , fried or greasy. I'm reading all the comments and learning a lot .thanks to susan and all of you .ciao from venice italy .

Also, how inspiring you are. The TV ads are so insulting and very dumbed down. I believe, or hope, most of us are aware that life is so much more than what the awful ads put in front of us.

I'm 55, about 8 months ago, I started intermittant fasting. I consume all my calories by 5pm, and I have breakfast between 9 and 10am. I'm ees are clearer with no puffiness when I wake. I'm also sleeping deeply right through the night.. and I think this deep rest is making my skin look more uniform and dewy. I also have improved energy and I'm more mentally motivated to get stuff done. I will continue with this regime. Great video....

Susan, this last couple of weeks has me emotionally reeling as well. It’s hard to rise above the suffering we’re seeing … feeling so helpless. Happy Birthday to sweet Desi. He doesn’t look a day over FIVE. BEAUTIFUL trees/leaves around your lovely little home. Embrace the season!!

Took me a long time to be my own best friend. I can truly care and love others this week has broken my heart. Time to stand against the evil around us. Bless you dear girl you make a difference and inspire us to be our best selves. Happy Birthday precious little lad.

Hi Susan! I always enjoy your videos and love Desi too. I'm 82 and on the Keto way of eating. I use Algenist Collagen every morning followed by any moisturizer I have handy. Before I go to bed I use retin-A by Peter Roth and a moisturizer. I also use Castor oil on my eyelids and one drop in each eye. Keeps me from having cataracts and dry eyes. I just had my annual physical and my Dr. said I was very young and young looking for my age. Only med I take is for my thyroid.

Desi is living his best life. HBD #10...🎂 I'm so happy for both of you. ❤ You're an outstanding videographer.

For being 65, my skin looks pretty decent. Some people that hear my age are shocked. But...I have flares of rosacea and mild eczema that I cover well. I know it's from my diet. Corn is the worst! Dairy and sugar is another (and I love cheese 😒) So I struggle. Desi is a doll and dear Susan, you are too! Love your videos and appreciate that you don't request your viewers to "like and subscribe". Instead you invite us back like an old friend. And 108k do! No other channel does that. Love you bunches!

I'll be 74 yrs November 1st. I intend to still war makeup, experiment with skin care products and tint my hair. I'll never stop looking my best. Fabulous video.Happy Birthday Desi! 🎉🍰🎂🥰

Susan, i’ve been watching your videos for quite a while now, since before you moved to you wonderful new home. I enjoy Desi in the yard and your spunky personality.

Susan, I’m an almost 64 year young Carnivore. I just got my blood work results last week after not seeing one in almost 10 years. ALL my numbers were superb! My new very young female Doc was especially thrilled with my cholesterol as it was high but all the good type. The only below average number was my sugar. I do drink coffee, use spice and eat dairy. My skin care is an hour walk a day and using my sauna at least 4 times a week.

Two habits I have which I feel work for me: for one, first thing I take in the morning is a room temperature glass of filtered water which gets me off to a good habit the rest of the day and secondly, I use sun screen 365 days a year rain or shine. I’m 76 with few. wrinkles and those I have i accept. As for meat, everything in moderation. Oh yes, I forgot a third - try not to worry about every little thing. It saps your energy. Go with the flow. Everything usually works out.

Be the wonderful woman that you are ❤ and thank you for your beauty tips. I am having to rediscover myself after 42 years of marriage, now separated not my choice. You have inspired me and lifted me in some dark and often confusing times. Don't change xx

Happy birthday sweet Desi! Desi is living his best life since you found him Susan. He is just precious. As I get old (turning 72 in next year) I find one of my good habits is speaking with my authentic voice. I don't have time to waste being a people pleaser or spending time with people who drain my energy. I like that about this stage in life. I know who I am now and I give myself permission to be who I am. Not everyone is going to like me of course (just like I don't like everyone) and I am good with that. Have a good week Susan and thank you for sharing your life with us.

Look forward to your visit every Saturday night!! Just got a wonderful compliment from a cashier on Friday, she said I had the most beautiful skin, asked if my parents had good skin… I thanked her for the wonderful compliment.. told her I use Ponds cleanser, witch hazel and Oil of Olay… I’m gonna keep the same plan.. once a month or so I use the apricot scrub from St Ives…

I have to say Desi is my love behind my cat princess. Watching him in the yard just warms my heart. Answering your question is something I use to be more lax on. Being honest and reliable. I had someone who blew me off in April and I hadn't heard from since them Friday there was a phone message from her letting me know she's moving near me. I'm sorry but I'm 61 and friends are sparse. But I do have a standard that I need my buddies to be honest if they can't follow thru and be reliable to a point. I stood that ground with the gal who called Fri. No more.

I hear you and thought the same. I deserved to get a call saying "sorry I stood you up twice"

Grandmothers are not the same as grandmothers of years ago. I am a grandmother and have been for almost 29 years. But... I worked up until 4 years ago. Years ago, grandmothers usually didn't work outside of the home. Now grandmothers are strong vibrant women. At least that's how I feel. I may not look it, but that's how I feel. I don't know how to feel old. I've never been this age before. And on my next birthday I'll be 80. How does an old lady act? I'm just the same me as I've always been. The body is slowing down, but the mind id still going. ❤

Sooooo happy for you! You've persevered & continued to plug right along and build your channel...Mr. Desi looks so happy & free running around in his own yard ❤

Vasoline Petroleum Jelly ! Petrolatum is the base for many facial products as well as prescription skin creams. It has been used for over 100 years.

Happy birthday, Desi ❤ He is beautiful. I can't believe he is 10 years old! It is obvious how well he is taken care of by you. I know he takes care of you, too. I am going to be 63 in January, but I feel about 73 these days. My skin has very suddenly started aging and I look about 5 years older than I am. I am in a very difficult season of life that is not going to change for a long time and I felt like the stress was killing me and aging me. I am trying to work through some difficult emotions while improving my lifestyle through diet and exercise to help stop this rapid decline in my health and looks. I have cut way down on sugar, alcohol, caffeine, simple carbs and most processed foods and I limit meat to a very small portion each day. It's not as much fun, but I hope it helps. By the way, I saw that ad for Medicare and found it offensive. The men in Medicare commercials are usually handsome and well-dressed, while the women are made out to be old hags or something. Maybe it's supposed to be funny but I don't appreciate it. It sends the wrong message.

Hi Susan, you are such a light and inspiration to me, but, ooops, your doctor is ignorant. I've been carnivore , all animal based foods, for six months .Hi blood pressure gone, no more prilosec, or allegra much, much better outlook and attitude concerning life and much younger looking skin and thicker hair. Because animal based is all whole food, no addictives, its the best elimination diet, to see, as you add things back, what is affecting your health. You should try it for 3months and see how you feel. I've tried all diets, none worked because, I believe, I'm carb addictive, cravings never stopped, until now. This is amazing. I forgot to mention, arthritis pain is much less and at 62 I've lost 28 pds and counting. Thank you so much for your wisdom and joyful life outlook. You are so good for me!

I am your age Susan. My new habit started a year ago. I get up early, throw on a swim suit (and clothes) and drive to my athletic club with a pool. I do water aerobics with many seniors, some of them in their 90’s. So many people staying young with exercise, singing, laughing, socializing. It’s a hoot, and has helped my painful body feel much better. Oh, and the water is warm! Try it!

By the way….” I very much like…the me….you are!” You are lovely, talented, and wise. Appreciate your videos very much….and, your little Dezi. May all your dreams come true!

Susan & Desi, thank you for the love, kindness, and time out from this crazy world.

Oh sweet Desi 🎊 ❤🎉happy birthday sweet baby boy!! Susan, I feel like you are saying everything I have to say about aging. I can’t fall into that mindset. Everything is changing but it’s not always for the bad! I have knowledge and experience that only comes from living life. I live alone with my animals. I have CoCo Chanel and two cats named Sky Blue and Sapphire Hope!! I’m happy with them. The hardest part for me is dealing with the major problems that happen when something breaks down! Money is tight but God always makes a way for me! God bless you beautiful lady!! I’m 67 and I still have a lot of life left to live ❤

Your /music/ little dog/ info is some of the most beautiful and lovely I have watched ! Due to very sensitive skin I have never been able to join in with the retin a trend. Listening to you yrs ago I have been using very simple products and oh yes beautiful nourishing oils ! I am now very pleased with my healthy glowing skin at 65 yrs ! I don't care what anyone says , feeling good about how healthy you look is a part of feeling good ! Desi is the cutest !!!

My sweet precious Susan I will be 80 in February. My son of 54 said MOM that woman is younger than you and she looks horrible. And her behavior is nothing like you, I'm so glad you act young and look young. I agree this portrays us as old frumps. I am told I could pass for 70 I know that isn't much younger, but I do try and keep myself looking good and acting good. My granddaughter is 33 and I am proud of being her granny that is what she calls me. I am granny to her two of my great-grands. Thanks to the good God I'm alive to enjoy them and be a blessing with all my old stories. I enjoy your videos so much and your Desi is adorable. Happy Birthday to him. I would love to pet him. He is a good dog, not a yapper. Who wouldn't want Desi? Thank you Susan for your love and time you take to share with us. We love you and Desi.

To me, being content and calm is the best thing I can do for myself. Stress does cause disruptions in body processes and stress is a factor in many diseases. The skin thins and we lose muscle mass and structure as we age. So do what you feel comfortable doing and don't stress about the commentors who disagree and/or try to "correct" you. My Aussie rescue is 10 this year too. She's such a beautiful, sweet girl. Happy birthday Desi.

Hi Susan, Sometimes when people become vegetarian or vegan, they do not know they need to supplement with vitamin B12 & D. A lack of these two vitamins can cause anemia. Everyone’s body reacts differently. There is no one size fits all. Meat works great for some folks & some of us cannot assimilate it. You seem to be good at listening to your body. Thank you for the glycolic acid products. At 69, I cannot use Retin A anymore either. I look forward to trying these products. Bless your dear heart once again.❤️❤️❤️Much love to you & Desi.

Happy birthday Dezi🎉 agreed Susan we should be the best version of ourselves we can be❤

Susan, you hit on what has to be my biggest issue with aging. It's not the fact that I'm getting older, it's the fact that people have such a stereotype about how women should look, sound, act, and feel as they get older. You certainly do not fit that stereotype, and neither do so many women I know. Yes, there are some women out there who have given up on themselves, and that makes me sad. But that isn't the truth for so many of us. OUR truth is that we are strong, vibrant, relevant women who still have a lot to offer this world. I applaud you for spreading that message, and it's my mission to do the same. It's always such a pleasure to spend a little time with you and Desi!

I've been making hyaluronic acid serum and vitamin C serum with ingredients from "Making Cosmetics" for a long time but I'm ready for something different. I just read a lot of these comments and am so pleased to know so many women our age still feel vibrant, pretty, and energetic and get mistaken for being much younger than their chronological age because of exactly that vibe.

If we all feel terrible about ourselves and worthless after we turn 30 years old...well... just think about how much we have all invested in the beauty, health and weight loss industries over the years, and still we question how we should look and feel. We are all beautiful. Blessings to all!!!

Very well said ❤

Happy Birthday Desi! He's so cute running around protecting his yard. That Medicare commercial is several years old, it's an extreme dramatic commercial, not reality today. Enjoy your week Susan and Desi!🙂

I’m so tired of those ads for Medicare etc.

Little Poet, Thank you for saying what you said at the end of your video. I am 68 and I am who I am because of the life I've led, not some old woman, but a vibrant caring mature woman who believes in Love and living every day to the fullest! Being a widow for 10 years has taught me that life still has surprises! Thank you for the skin care tips. I'll be on Amazon after I post this comment. I refuse to sit in a housecoat, stop caring about my appearance, and hide away in my home watching TV. You are an inspiration!

Happy birthday Desi….the most adorable little fellow. Love his Halloween ears 💙 Wonderful photography Susan…simply stunning. I’m 71 and use everything available to keep looking my best. The best eye cream and lip cream ….in my opinion are from an Australian brand called Alpha H….I use the day moisturiser too containing factor 50. I’m in the uk so not sure if it’s available in u.s but worth a try if you can get it.👍 You’re looking amazing Susan and your attitude is very positive and that will keep you young and current. God bless you both until next week 🌸

Great video Susan! I call it "Dont let the old lady in" and boy does she try to get in sometimes!! But I fight her off daily :) Happy Birthday Desi!!!

Hi Susan. I have a little tip for you on those leaves. I had a huge maple leaf on my other house. I mowed them with a lawn mower with catcher. Do it often and keep those leaves for mulch this next spring. It took me years to figure out this little trick. Happy fall dear lady. ❤

Susan, I am 73 and use the Nuface, the Nira, and Omnilux. I have to say they have definitely have helped my skin and most people think I am much younger. I am fortunate my skin has always been good and not sensitive. I think everyone is different and different regimens work for different people. You look quite lovely. I think skin care is try it & see what works for you. Happy woof woof birthday Desi. ❤🎉

I think I agree with you...when I go into a store and the gal starts telling me what I HAVE to HAVE I check my wallet!!! $300 cream...oh dear....how abut a nice walk and good book!

Yes put those boxwoods in the ground!!! Yes I use my pumpkin seed and rosehip seed daily on damp skin for absorption....!!! Thanks for the tip on your new cleanser I'll try it !!! Your skin just glows!!! Sue I am 75 years old have been watching you for years... I want to let you know that it is normal to have down days.... There are days I don't want to get out of my PJs, I just want a cup of tea and my blankie and curl up on the couch and watch movies !!!! And on those days I feel very unsociable!!! This doesn't happen weekly, but maybe bimonthly....I just feel I've earned a quite alone day now & then at my age,. I can solve everyone's problems tomorrow ❤❣️ on these days I also stay away from all News...it's always depressing & out of my control to change it....

Hi Susan and happy birthday Desi 🎉. I immediately put the black pearl eye patches in my order on Amazon. Thanks so much for the info. Then I thought should I mention this...then I thought I have to it's Desi's birthday. Dogs live half as long as they used to and have the highest cancer rate in the world since kibble hit the market also yearly shots cause cancer. Monthly chemicals cause seizures. Dogs are 99.9% wolf every breed and thrive on animal protein. For my dog Happy I boil chicken and gizzards or lightly cook hamburger some eggs or fish then I add a few greens with liquid vitamins and minerals. Most treats are garbage. Desi looks incredibly healthy but just in case ,...I had to pass on what I've discovered. I think I would have run out of subjects years ago but every week your like a breath of fresh air and Desi is a little gem. ❤Diane

Happy birthday to sweet little Desi! I love how he looked at you! Such adoration! He’s a lucky boy to have you! Living his best life! I turn 70 on Wednesday and it’s hitting me harder than any other number!!! BUT like you said… I have to remember who I am ….. even when I’m called “mam in a store!”🙄🤦‍♀️. I have always been a non conformist and will probably always be that way! I think that’s what keeps me young at heart and that’s what’s important. Yes, skin in important, I have a regimen. But I also think it’s important to keep our attitudes in check as we age! You can have all the beautiful skin in the world but if your attitude sucks , that’s an isolation enabler! Keep on doing what you’re doing!! Love to hear your thoughts always!!😘 Happy Halloween!

I so enjoy your videos. Each week you speak directly to my 74 year old self (or so it seems). I appreciate that you share your life with us. It is truly inspirational.

I have been using the same skin care regiment since I was in my 20's. I'm now in my 70's and it still works for me. The market became too glutted and confusing with products ,so since what I used was working well, I stuck with it. Advertising needs to get a grip on what's happening out there. We don't look like old grandmothers in housecoats! My mother never did either!

Susan, I enjoy your videos. I'm going through a divorce and your sincere honesty about life is so helpful!

Susan is a wise woman. I left an abusive relationship 7 years ago and grieved the familiar for about a year. I didn’t understand the sadness at the time. I wish I had a Susan in my life to explain why I felt this way.

I appreciate the info you shared. I live in a very arid Arizona and my skin shows it. Almost 70 and cannot believe the changes in my skin vs. my life in a humid climate.

I love you Susan, for being YOU !!!! You encourage my heart and I always leave your videos uplifted in spirit. Thank you

Well Susan I have to say first that you have inspired me in a couple of ways. I am changing my ways and improving my health and my appearance. Not that I ever really looked bad before but I’m making changes. First off I have improved my facial regimen and I try to wear nicer clothes. I have tried to start dating and it is a process these days but I hope I find one nice one to work on building a relationship. So I feel better about myself and you have given me that and it is a good feeling. I just needed a jump start and it’s nice to see women who take care of themselves and make the effort to do so. I do have to say that meat does not cause inflammation and you have been given some misguided information. Now maybe beef could be hard on your digestion but poultry, fish and even pork is good for your body and muscle. You need that type of protein. So don’t stop eating meat it will help you stay much healthier. I would check it out on the internet and you’ll see. So have a good week and thank you 🙏 for all the inspiring you do. ❤

Greetings Susan! It's so good to see you! I love your skincare videos and how you balanced it out with something meaningful at the end. Wow, it seems like it was just Desi's birthday a couple weeks ago!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD. I AM 73 AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY SELF, AND I DON'T DRESS MY AGE AND I PUT ON MY MAKE-UP EVERY DAY. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING, MAKE UP ,DRESSING GOOD AND DOING YOUR HAIR ECT.. YOU LOOK GREAT.

You and Desi are a super pair! That was so sweet when you were singing happy birthday to him! It brought tears to my eyes!💕

Thank you. I love watching your videos. So glad I found your channel. I've been looking for you for sometime now. 😊❤

Good morning Susie, and The Dez. Looks like Desi had a great birthday!! I'm so happy you have a warm, and beautiful home of your own. You've found great products that work for you! Your skin looks fabulous. I bought my first under eye masks some time ago, you've inspired me to give them a try. Oh, when the women with the big glasses appears on our TV I pause the channel long enough to fast forward, lol. Her voice gets to me!! Blessings, and luch love to you, and The Dez...Mimi P.S> I must tell you, 70 is not scary at all!!!

I also noticed the stereotyping in that particular commercial, repeating daily on some of my tv channels. It is hard not to be affected by what is going on in our world right now. I'm having bad dreams at night over it. Thank you for sharing your skin regimen with us, Susan.

Belated Happy Birthday, sweet little Desi! 🎂🐾🎂 You are so precious ❤

Lady you inspire us all to be who we are!! Thank you for being here!

Fantastic video Susan - every part resonated with me. I too suffered from acne into adulthood and always felt very conscious of my skin. Giving up dairy really made a difference to such an extent that people ask me what I use to get a ‘glow’. I see from other comments that talking about meat is a touchy subject. But for me going mostly vegan / plant based has not only cleared up my skin, improved my health but it also open up my eyes to animal welfare. Congratulations on your beautiful home - you inspired me today to make my home look as cosy and as inviting as yours. Happy birthday Desi 🎉❤

Susan and Desi, you never fail to cheer me up! Your videos are always so pretty and well done. And your words so kind and meaningful. I so agree with you on the whole old lady thing. I'm 66 but in my head I'm very youthful so I honestly feel I don't fit in with other older people unless they have a youthfulness about them. I pick what clothes I am drawn to. I love what you said about never changing who you are. Be you, not some image. That's how I live my life. I couldn't live any other way. Happy Birthday to sweet little Desi. Great party you set up for him!

Susan, thank you for sharing yourself and Desi with us…y’all are beautiful souls!❤️

Susan, as a single 70, thank you for your words of encouragement and how we should love our unique self. Desi is such a cutie; aren’t animals comforting in our daily, trying life? Please keep doing your videos and thank you for your time.

Thanks Susan for sharing your skin routines again. I use many of the same products, some are a different brand. I did order the L’oriel glycolic cleanser. You be you! And nobody does it better! I have a routine of letting loose and just dancing around, often in my kitchen. Where I have a sign that says “this kitchen is for dancing” and my 4 yr old granddaughter totally agrees. 😃 That routine of dancing to music and singing songs from the 50s into the 80s gives me that edge and makes me feel alive and happy. And it helps my heart and body as well. ❤ Thanks Susan. Desi sure enjoyed your bday song to him! What a precious pup he is! So adored.

Hi Susan, I had to pause this video because I want to tell you how much I love your songs! Your voice is soo beautiful! It brings me lots of joy and happiness ❤. I'm 57 years old and also had to change my beauty routine. My skin is very dry so I had to incorporate facial oils into my daily beauty routine. Currently using a Skinn Cosmetics oils. Also purchased oils from Korres. Their elixir is fantastic. All the purchases were made from HSN. I believe they are still on sale. Ok, back to the video ❤

Happy Birthday Desi 💕 Thank you for giving him such a great life. He really looks like he is thriving! 🐾 🌹 🎉

Happy, Happy Birthday precious Desi!🐾🥳Susan you seriously look so beautiful! I love your singing in this video also! Ty for the tips!❤❤

Thank you so much for the reminder to care for our skin. I missed that lesson early on but believe it is still better late than never. 👍🏼♥️🇨🇦

You have NO IDEA how much I needed this message. Dealing with government bureaucracy has made me want to help people older than us who might not be able to figure it all out. It’s got me down, but Iwon’t give up just like you . I take care of my skin as well , and yet there’s more I’m not taking care of. THANK YOU🎉😊🎉

Oh Susan, I just love your channel! Thank you for the tips! Like your last rose, we are going to bloom against all odds. I loved your last speech, sometimes I feel like I have no right to hope for more when I see the terror others live in, but the way you said it got to me. I ought to use this privilege, for however long God grants it to me, to make the best out it all because after all, I might be able to help somebody, like you are helping me right now. 🧡. Sending you all my love like always. PS: Your production value was superb this week. Happy Birthday Desi! Don’t forgetting about our cup of tea 🫖

Happy birthday to precious little Desi. This was a great video Susan. I agree with you that we have to feel good about ourselves and love ourselves to be able to give comfort and love to others. ❤

One of the habits I developed for about 10 years is my daily neck exercise. Sometimes, I forget get distracted by life...lol , and it starts to go backwards. They have helped me to prevent a "turkey neck." I started to notice women in 50- 70 have a "wadle" of skin under their neck, which keeps me on track. I lift my neck to look at the ceiling, then open my mouth upward, as if I was kissing something, keeping skin tight. Next move is while looking up, I pretend to smile real big...alternate. you should feel the muscles tighten each time. I only do this for a minute each day. Iam near your age Susan, and no wadle here! Lol

The kissing thing to tighten the double chin area, my dermatologist said to pretend you are kissing a giraffe. Reaching your and tightening your lips upward to kiss him. I thought that was a cute way to start the day. Kissing an invisible giraffe 👄👄🦒🦒🦒🦒

I do something similar. I combine it with my yoga practice. I put my lower teeth above my upper lip, then extend the neck so my chin is raised towards the ceiling. When the body is ok with that, I then smile without changing the position. It really targets the neck. Tip: whentuening the head upwards, try to keep the length in the back of the neck to minimise compression 👍

All those things give me a migraine headache. And messing around doing silly things with my neck also causes me to be dizzy. I think I will just stick with singing also

Thank you for another wonderful video and your skin care suggestions. Happy 10th Birthday to Desi. You both are precious!

Happy Birthday Desi! You don't look a day over five.😊 Every Saturday, you and your Mom always make me smile.

Oh my goodness. Happy Birthday sweet Desi! You are so loved.

About the only things I've used for many years are rose hip seed oil and apricot seed oil. The apricot is lighter and I like it for daytime. I will have to look into pumpkin seed oil too! I am going on 63 and everyone is shocked when I tell them so. Maybe it's time to fib a little! 😉
