AMAZING! I am 47 and feel that glow within me that exudes beauty, a natural vitality and joy for life! I notice that I can look in the mirror and see a young, vibrant woman, or I can change my thoughts and look in the same mirror and see an old, tired women with a newly developing second chin and wrinkles. Definitely considering a bit more face yoga after this post.... But, I believe you look as young as you feel. I feel incredibly young, joyful, playful and energized and it shows as that glow. I still attribute so much of my vitality and happiness to your Supercharged program. You asked me... what makes you happy? And way back then I didn't know. Now, I've learned to live my happiness every day in every moment. I play. I do what lights me up. I play with my kids. I keep my child-like wonder and a fire blazing with my passions and hobbies. Its the spark - the glow. However... I believe so many of us resist aging because we did not know to appreciate our beauty in our youth. Looking back at pictures of my younger self, I was beautiful and I thought I was fat. I thought I was ugly. Nasty little gremlins feeding me all the wrong thoughts. Now that I must face and accept aging, I am grateful that I love myself enough to do so gracefully and naturally and allow my truest self to radiate beauty. And one young girl in her late 20s recently said to me that I am beautiful in an energetic way, but not in a way people consider beautiful (meaning not young, thin, tight body, perky boobs)... and I shook my head at this young girl knowing she too is missing the point and aging will hit hard for her when her youthful definition of beauty fades. Going back to my point, you can look in the mirror and feel beautiful or feel ugly, and that's what you'll get looking back at you. Glow, baby, glow. Its an inner radiance of healing and wholeness, contentment and LOVE. Grateful for the part youve played to help me see beauty always in all things.
At 47 I'm growing out the grey and am au natural - mainly because in stopping using hair dye and most products (amongst resting and other things) I cleared up 10 years of chronic eczema. Being free of that scratch and having the freedom to use my hands again for their purpose is INCREDIBLE and each day I am grateful. But if I'm really honest - I miss my hair being all one colour; I miss using every make up product! Is this my ego? I can't be bothered to spend hours on massaging my face though so it's double chin, 3 tone hair (blonde ends, brown and grey roots), and 1 single moisturiser that my body allows with rose in it. I often wonder as I rub it in if the rose is a sign that I need more self love and if I was full of love maybe I could have the other things back again....
All of this! A friend & I were discussing this yesterday, and it made me think of a line from the Twits that has stuck with me since I read it as a youngling;
'You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.'
So good ... but curious why HFF don’t have an exfoliant when they seem to be such a fan ? Peta do you have one you like ? I think I’m going to splash out and get the set ... give it a whirl ...
No idea! Might be coming? I use one of the go-to skincare exfoliating wipes maybe once a week, and recently ordered a Korean one- I’ll let you know on that.
I would also LOVE Peta, and perhaps you don’t teach/share much on this anymore (that I’m aware of), but as someone who diligently researches and gets into the nitty gritty of all the wellness supplements and nick nacks… I’d love to genuinely know what products/brands you and your family use for enhancing/maintaining your health and vitality (ie. a multi vitamin, collagen powder, DHA, etc). As a new mum, I just can’t be bothered to research as well as I’m sure you have! Just as you’ve share your skincare and health routine OGs, is there a particular brand you look to/trust completely? Everytime I run out of my supps I always wonder how can I simplify more and if there is something better out there… would love to know your thoughts (and also totally acknowledge each season may call for something different/change your mind/learn something new)!
(Also want to acknowledge that this is absolutely not the point you’re making in this post… it’s the opposite actually. Lol. There isn’t a beauty pill for that “look” etc… much beyond that, which I adore. But for a young breastfeeding mum trying to get as much goodness in my body as poss, why not ask the source that you trust ya know?!). Here for that low key/high standard kind of life. X
I really believe it’s different for everyone - are you feeling you need anything?? If not then maybe you don’t need them ;) your diet and lifestyle and belief system may be good as it is!
I take a fish oil/DHA by metagenics right now.. organic beef liver/kidney capsules, the foraged for you mothers blend, molecular iodine (for my boobs) a glutathione support called ‘cellgevity’ and the tresos natal still. This is where I’m at, but I think I could drop the tresos natal.
If you want to do something but don’t know what. I’d do organ capsules +
Fish oil…
If you actually have symptoms (eg you think you’re low iron, or fatigue etc) and want to really optimize, I’d see a functional naturopath and get some bloods done and see what one or two things would be supportive (eg, if you are under methylating or over methylating your supps will be different).
Does that help? Might need a full entry as there is so much nuance here and more I want to speak to xx
Thank you honey 🙏🏻 been taking the tresos natal, the metagenics DHA
/fish oil and had been looking at the foraged for you, for the liver component, so super helpful. Nothing I feel I need support in (will see someone if that changes) just trying to maintain and support my energy. Really appreciate it xx
Ooh may I ask what palette expander you are wearing? I'm currently wearing Vivos DNA and Vivos mRNA but I'm in "maintenance" mode so just wear it at night.
I have no idea what mine is called! I am supposed to wear 15 hours a day but currently manage about 12 so that my kids can understand me in the day time 🤣
I’m missing two teeth (hereditarily) too! Thought it was supposed to skip a generation, but my identical twin daughters are also missing teeth. I already felt a connection with you, and even more so now that I know you’re also in this club. 🦷🤣🙏
How uncomfortable I felt when I realised I have never in my life separated beauty from looking younger on account of the rampant societal conflation of the two. Sitting with this notion with a new freedom and restful delight.

So beautiful Jenessa and thank you x

Exactly!

I used to love the MiEssence Garnet Exfoliater but they seem to have discontinued it ... sob
Love all of this. Vitality radiates!

hahaha totally get it - it took some time but my kids then became experts in understanding my "expander speech" lol

Lovely xx
Oh yes, it’s the vitality glow that I’m actually trying to emulate with any oil, serum, treatment…
In fact, I think I love my post workout face the best, pink, plump and hot!
Been tempted to do a facial massage /yoga course, but the Insta ads make me recoil at the ‘buy me now bitch’ ickiness.
Would love any recs for facial massage courses?
I bought the Anastasia beauty facia one but the videos are too long for me
Right now to do everyday (I know I’d make time if it was crucial but it’s not one of those things for me). I find it tricky to find 20-30 mins to
Massage my face. I am thinking of getting Sadie Nardini official’s one… will let you know once I try some more. Currently I just take a little from
Here and there. My favs are the ones I can do while driving etc. no hands needed
