Hey awesome ones. Heather here with
absolutely no makeup on. Do you even
recognize me? Oh my gosh well I thought I would do something really different in
this video. What I wanted to do...I wanted
to do a video with absolutely no makeup
on and talk about confidence and beauty.
Am I going to be able to do this.....
confidently. Will soon see in just a few
seconds.
So I remember being at the grocery store
checkout and looking at some magazines
of famous movie stars without their
makeup. You know like Caught without their
makeup. I remember the time when I
was modeling. I thought oh my gosh that's
that's just terrible and from now on I'm
not even going grocery shopping without
my makeup on. So if you're new to my
videos here's me on one of my recent
ones with my full makeup on and it's
pretty well perfect. I mean I've done a
number on the mascara and fixed my hooded eyes, covered up my spots. You know got
some nice lip liner and lipstick on, it's
all beautiful, but back to me. This is not
about her, this is about me. Just plain me
with....well let's face it, I'm 63 years old.
I'm much older and got spots and all.
I'm talking about me who doesn't even
think of starting her day without
putting her inner beauty on. So here I am.
Naturally I mean I've got my dark spots.
I got my under-eye circles. I've got
wrinkles all free to see and well let me
let me just tell you about a little
story the other day. I was in a
restaurant and I just happened to catch
myself in one of those mirrors. I was
walking by and I just....I did what I just
did right now. I literally sighed
because in the modeling world a lot of
people would think that I'm overweight
now. I glanced at myself in the
mirror and I saw I was wearing this
white top and I thought, oh man you look
you look really heavy in that because of
course it was a side view you know what
I'm talking about.
It was a really hot day. My makeup
was melting, because I've been eating I
had no more lipstick left and I walked
by the mirror and then as I passed by
and went to where we were sitting.....
something changed. I was in a restaurant
with Bill. it was our son's birthday
and we had this amazing night planed. There was so much energy in the air and you
know what? I felt beautiful. Thinking back
of that woman that I saw in the mirror I
thought about was jeez I better put on a
little bit of lipstick and let's get
this party started. So it could have gone
another way. I could have felt fat and
ugly and old and you know what... what
was that going to do for the rest of the
evening?
Absolutely nothing. Instead I
just changed it around and put on a
little bit of lipstick and had a great
great evening. So that's what I'm trying
to say in this video. You know I love
makeup. Let's face it. I love makeup. I
love enhancing my eyes and my lips and
my cheekbones and all of that sort of
thing, but what this video is about is
before you get started putting your eye
makeup on to enhance your eyes, put the
sparkle behind the eyes a little bit. Get
your confidence your inner glow going. So
maybe even after you put on your makeup
you feel just a little bit ordinary. Well
you know what, you're not!! Think about the people who love you. Think about the
things in your life. Your gratitude,
that's how you get the confidence and
the glow and the energy going is
thinking about all those wonderful
things. Yeah you're enhancing your
eyelashes and your lips and that sort of
thing, but it's that inner glow that
really sparkles and I'm gonna tell you
something else too and a lot of you know
this ,but when I was modeling I was
bulimic and I'm going to tell you a lot
of those women that we look at and we
hold ourselves to
those kind of standards they might not
even be healthy, because I know for sure
I was not healthy. Yeah go
ahead eat right, exercise but really hold
yourself to your standards and let's
talk about something else too. Let's talk
about growing old gracefully.
Hey as many of you know I've never had
any needles. I've never had any surgery.
This is just me and I have chosen to
grow old gracefully and this is called
awesome over 50, so I can be doing this
for quite some time right now. I
invite you to come along on the road
less needled...along with me and as we go
along on this journey. You know let's let
our silver hair shine. Let's let our
laugh lines show and let's have a little
bit of fun along the way. We're gonna be
so damn beautiful writing in the
comments and sharing our stories about
oh how castor oil brought back our
eyebrows and oh how this new purple
shampoo really makes my silver locks
look lovely and just the way we share
everything right now in the comments
it's wonderful. The important thing is
that a lot of these comments will not
only be about our outside...it'll be about
our inner beauty as well and someone
else who has inner beauty to the max is
our little Hurricane...eh hurricane....he
certainly does and I have to say in my
opinion he's a beautiful dog but you
know also....oh he wants his little treat
right now, but I think all dogs are
beautiful and and sometimes I look at
these dogs and I go that's an ugly dog.
You know when those people walk in the
door and that little tail is wagging and
he's twirling around he's no longer an
ugly dog he's a beautiful dog that makes
so much happiness like this little guy is
doing right now and shares so much love
and that's what I'm trying to say about
you and not that you're an ugly dog but
you know, wag your tail a little bit and
exude the happiness and share that inner
beauty. So do I think you should still
wear some makeup? Of course I do. I mean you're enhancing your eyebrows and your
eyelashes and your lips and it's really
more of an enhancement because as you
know I don't do the real phony looks
with the makeup. Oh by the way you
know if you're interested in knowing my
makeup....amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50
I know that sounds like a little
plug here, but hey if you want to know
that and we make a little commission on
it, so thank you, thank you for that, but
back to my story. So how did I do. Like I
would really love to know in your
comments whether you felt that you can
feel my inner confidence. So with no
makeup on maybe even my inner beauty and
and and you know if you you felt that
that was a really good message or not
I'd really really like to know that.
I guess the other thing too is that I
just want to say thank you to all of my

really I really really really hope that
you've got
confidence back and when you walk by

beautiful. I'm confident and I'm just
gonna shine out there to this wonderful
