  • Fashion is just made up by a group of people why on earth let them rule over what you wear? Wear what is nice for you :D

  • I can't wear high heels at 54?? Ha,ha, I am going to die in my jeans and my Jimmy Choos!

  • I'm 56 and I know exactly what you mean about aging. I still feel like I'm 18 in many ways.  Like they say, we have to grow older but we don't have to grow up.

  • I agree with your grandson, I don't see any wrinkles but sure she a pretty smile and a wonderful attitude.

    fishing691 said it best...

    I hope you don't mind but I am thinking about making a tiara like yours for my step daughter. I think she would love it. :))

  • This is the one that changed MY LIFE! Lana I needed this and Thank You for it.

  • Lana ! when is your birthday ??

  • I cried too when my two sons left home. Everything you say is true. Thats whats great about getting older, you wake up one day not caring what other people think! Just be happy. xo

  • I cried too when my two sons left home. Everything you say is true. xo

  • Good on you!..............I think you are wonderful..........x I am 37 and I need to take a leaf out of your book as I am terrible for puting myself down. I thought confidence would come with age, if anything I feel worse...LOL.....I am trying to be more positive and I do have a wonderful husband who tells me I am beautiful. You are an inspiration Lana.............x Helen xx

  • Lana, I just totally love your attitude! I bought myself a tiara last year at Halloween time--just because sometimes I want to wear it and feel like a Princess. {*_*} I LOVE your traditions. I think I will begin some of my own. You will never be too old to wear whatever you want, Sweetie. I'm glad you had that talk with your sister. I just adore you!!! Hugs, Moonchime❤

  • For Pete’s sake, NO you do not look ridiculous! You look cute as a bug! You look frivolous, fun, frilly, girly, soft and feminine and I love your pink pearl earrings. =) Where are they from? Love your traditions. You and your friends sound awesome! Love kat

  • u go girl!!! x<3

  • Love this video ♥

  • I really love your video's, I am just catching up on some. I am a fairly new subscriber.

    I really liked what you had to say in this video. So funny about the Birthday cards

    and great advice on age.

    Lauren

  • LOVE your birthday celebrations /// traditions AND ESPECIALLY! that you have them with your 12 girlfriends :>

  • Lana, I know I am flooding your mail with messages, but watching your videos makes me think of so many things. I am Italian but I have a relative (a distant cousin of my father's) who lives in the US and she's 75. You probably won't believe it but she's a very beautiful lady, very active, very elegant and she's even sexy. So age is really just a number. There are a lot of unattractive 20 year-old girls and a lot of stunning-looking women in their 50-50-70's. Hugs.

  • @fishing691 I agree! So many young girls will write to me and tell me to go away. i think they may fear that older women may take over the world. Ha! We just might. Sadly, they will get older too with any luck. I love my age and will never give up!

    I just want to gracefully become an older version of myself.

    PS. You can write to me anytime. I love your comments. ❤

  • you look very good. whatever you're doing keep it up. you're not my type, , but looks like you're having fun with your friends.

  • @jerusal05 Thank You! Life is what you make it. We can either enjoy it or be miserable. I choose not to be miserable. I hate negativity so I am going to make every day FABULOUS!!!! ❤

    Thanks for the sweet comment

  • Thank you so much for this vid! My mom is not "young" anymore but she is as girly, if not more, than I am and I am proud. I once had a friend tell me she didn't like that my mom wasn't "mom enough". Honestly, my mom is such a good mom that I think that she is sometimes too good. She dotes on her kids too much so we don't do any chores around the house (I'm starting to out of guilt) and solves all our problems. But she's less of a mom just because she cares about how she looks? Thats ridiculous

  • @PorcelainChina Oh Goodness! How can anyone put your wonderful Mom down? Please give her a giant hug from me, would you.

    Both of you stay Fabulous and enjoy your wonderful relationship. ❤

  • you ARE Barbie. i miss you lovey...

  • i totally agree with you lana :-) thats the best thing we women have to remember about aging :-) you go girl!

  • u dont look 54!!and i love ur makeup look!!

  • @16reynoso You're so sweet! Thank You

  • You go girl! I wanted to cheer at 5:30. If anything, age should give us the FREEDOM to do away with rules. Hate rules.

  • i admire you! when im your age i want to be just like you too it must be great to have you as a mom/sister/aunt/grandma.

    you rock! cool!

  • Curious like someone else about the song at the start of the "tide display" I noticed similar, Brazilian 60's vibe, Sergio type music in other vids. Do share.

  • 5 stars for rule-breaker =D

  • I'm 51 and I believe exactly as you do!! At the end of the day, I don't live with the public, I come back home,and just as you said, age is but a number, and if your grandkids don't see anything wrong, kids are so pure and devine, .. then why should we care about the world's opinions. You are so wonderful in every way!!!!! What an inspiring and fun lady!! Why couldn't I have a sister like you?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're so much fun !!!!!!!!!

  • @MelissaLovesMusic1 I'd LOVE to have another sister!

    Thanks for this sweet comment xox

  • and I love your atitude, you go girl!!!! I wish l'll be the same in my time.

  • You will be FABULOUS no matter what your age xox

  • l love your traditions, very good ideas, must keep that in mind ;)

  • what song did you play when you showed the tide? around 2:20

  • I love you attitude, ill be 50 in march, and its kind a scary, i like what your saying, sometimes i wish i wasnt but would never want to do it all agin,so i guess just never give up.

  • You wait and see... 50 will be your best decade EVER!

    I love my 50's so far.

    Happy Early Birthday! xox

  • Women are like a very fine wine, we get much better with age. Just look in the mirror and you should love who is looking back at you. Luv and Hugs to everyone.

  • Lana, I am a new subscriber. I found you when I was searching information on the Wii, I was taken by your sweet & gracious personality. I'm 46 and at 41 I got Dx with RA, I gave up, I've gained weight and let myself go, now I'm better so I am going to start taking care of me. I am in nursing school (RA did not make me quit that, began college @ 40). Your thoughts about age is so right on, at the end of the day, only your family and who you are is what matters. I am looking forward to 54 ;)

  • You will be a FABULOUS 54 year old! It's not about the age number but the age spirit. In spirit, I am 17 and loving it!

    Hugs~ xox

  • Hi Lana, you are the first person I subscribed to cause you are just fabulous. I can totally relate to you, we can be sisters. I am 53 years young and live life to its fullest. I was born with stilettos, makeup and mini-skirts. I will dress dress dress and I am a shoe whore as long as I can breathe. Look forward to more videos. Aloha from Hawaii.

  • Hello My sister! I love that you were born with stilettos, makeup and a mini skirt on.... Too cute! xoxo

  • I love your spirit and you look great..Im 51 and I have never been happier keep doing what you do

  • Yay for 50 year olds!

    Rock it girl! xoxox

  • Your husbands "reusable" cards are HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

  • Lana you and your videos are 5 STAR !

  • awe your grandkids are so lucky to have you : ) you're sweet

  • Preach it Lana!

  • i'm glad you quit the tanning bed! it's no good! :)

  • Lana I'm 56 and you have inspired me. I feel the same way as I did, when I was in my 20's. I love to wear makeup and love to watch your videos for inspiration. You are right. We are not dead and we want to always look great. I say, when I look in my mirror, where did I go and who is this older woman in the mirror. Keep giving us inspiration.

  • Work it girl! we are better not DEAD!

  • Lana, i showed your vids to my mom (she is 51) to inspire her. She doesnt speak any english (we live in Russia), so i had to translate. But she literally almost cried. Now she is your biggest fan and so am i. Keep up an excellent work!!!!

  • Aww... Give your Mom a BIG hug for me and Thank You for the Kind words xoxoxo

  • I have so enjoyed watching your videos. I love that your grandchildren call you Mimi - that is what mine call me. I am 53 and like you think it is just a number and don't care. Take care and I will eventually catch up on all the videos, as I have just found your channel.

  • Lynn~

    I LOVE being a "Mimi." I also love being

    53~ The alternative... ... not so much

    I'm so glad you found my channel...

    Sit back, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

    xoxox

  • Traditions like things we like to do and keep doing every year such as giving out laundry detergent instead of a birthday card.

    PS. Your mom sounds adorable!

  • LOL You are priceless!!! *hugs and love*

    Most people my age can't afford those gorgeous brands!!! The kids have to be out of the house before I could afford those beautiful things. I look forward to it! LOL Don't ever feel bad for owning any of it!!!

  • LOL I love it! I'm going to tell my friends to buy me tide for my next birthday!

  • Thank You SO Much~

  • Awesome video. I love your attitude. Age is just a number. You are absolutely right. You are never too old to do anything. You look amazing. Enjoy your life that's my philosophy. I totally agree with you girl...

  • You are SO right. Age is just a number. Too many women and even men get hung up on that. Enjoy whatever age you are... The alternative isn't pleasant...

    Dead!

    Love & Hugs~ xoxox

  • Great advice!!

  • Lana, you look so beautiful in all that pale pink! You look gorgeous! I love, love, love, love, LOVE the cleaning products tradition you have with your girls!! That is hilarious and really sweet. I almost teared up when you showed the table full of all the products! haha! Thank you for sharing that and for showing the cards you keep giving to your hubby! HA! Too funny :)

    My kids are 5 and 4 but I appreciate your encouragement & enthusiasm about how it CAN be once kids leave the house :)

  • Enjoy those sweet kids! They grow up so fast. I miss my kids being young and scampering in and out of the house.

    The laundry soap tradition is one of my absolute favorites. It's FUN to decide which kind of detergent to pick out instead of a fluffy card to send. We all love to give and get laundry soap. xoxox

    PS. We are a CLEAN group of girls!

    Stay as sweet as you are~

  • I love this video, you are such a wonderful lady!!!!

  • Thank You SO Much~ xoxo

  • I am laughing so hard at this video!!! I had my kids later.....I am 41 with a two year old and I when I think of them leaving I feel sick. After watching this and laughing.....it makes me have hope that maybe there is life for me even when they all leave me!!! :)

  • Oh, trust me... You will be so sad when they leave and even sadder when they return home! But... Then the grandkids arrive and all is wonderful again!

    Enjoy those kids NOW, they grow up so darn FAST!

  • haha! I'm 42 with a 5 year old and a 4 year old. It's kind of different for us "older moms" because when our kids finally leave the house we'll be pretty darn old indeed! However, I firmly believe that even in our 60's we'll be ready for new adventures and interests once the kids are out of the house :)

  • omg! that is the best idea! I'm gonna see if I can get my sisters to do this! I'd much rather have the Tide than a card!

  • It's so much better than a card and your sisters will fall in love with the tradition. It's FUN and so practical.

    Give Tide~ Be Clean!

  • Wow, I would actually love to get laundry detergent. I feel like we never get caught up on laundry! :-) The only tradition that we really have is that ever since we were together, we have gone to a Christmas Eve service. My husband is Jewish and I am Christian so it really shows his love for me that he will sacrifice one day out of his year to do something that makes me happy.

  • What a sweet tradtion and a sweet husband to do that for you~

    Bless you both!

  • I know, I feel blessed.  :-)

  • nice words ^^

  • Thank You~x xoxo

  • Love the video and the message you give. Please just ignore the haters, We need more people like you in this world. Thanks to you I would appreciate more what I do and what I have.

    XOXOXOXO

  • Happy late birthday. You are gorgeous regardless the age. Hope God bless you with more but a lot of years.

    XPXOXOXOXOX

  • Thank You SO Much~ XOXO

  • OMG Lana I am sorry I missed your birthday :O( Happy Belated Birthday I love you You are super gorgeous oxox Melinda

  • Melinda~

    You are such a wonderful person inside and out and I love you~

    God Bless You and your Family xoxox

  • Sorry it is sooo late .. Im catching up on all my sub vids ... you are just so inspiring and fun!

    Tamara

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL!!! Love your videos!! This is a great one and that is just simply amazing that you and 12 girls from childhood are still close and live relatively close, too. That is a miracle in itself. Cute video! Your crown and boa is soooo YOU! LOVES LOVES IT!! :O) Faving this video. I am 45.5 and you taught me about a month ago to stop hiding and lying about my AGE!! 45.5 and PROUD OF IT! I got the fun and wisdom both to prove it! LOVE YOU!!! 54 AND FABULOUS!!! Crown/Boa = YOU

  • This has to be my Favorite Comment EVER! I love that you have embraced your age as well. It's so much better to age than the alternative! My friends from my childhood are my "sisters." Without each other we are lost. They are my family.

    You and all my YT subscribers are my family too and I love you!

    Thank You for the Birthday Wishes.

    45.5 is the NEW 30 so HAVE FUN! I am!xoxoxo

  • I love that idea Tide instead of a card :)

  • It really is a great tradition and we all have sparkling clean clothes!

    I hardly ever have to buy laundry soap and neither do my friends! xoxox

    PS. Cards are wonderful but SOAP is so much better!

  • I love your uplifting spirit! I love being "comfortable in my own skin" and enjoy hearing from others who feel the same. Keep up the good work, Lana!

  • Thank You for the Sweet Comment and you are so right. If you can't be happy with YOURSELF, how can you be happy with others? Rock on sister!

  • Hahha... I favorite this vid. I like how smart this tradition is. I think I will ask for some green washing detergent from now on, which is so expensive instead of a card next year. I also liked how encouraging this vid is for girls who are scared of the aging.

  • happy bday lana!!!!

  • Thanks so much. I really needed an uplift about the whole age thing. You rock!

    Callie

  • Callie~

    As you know... Age is a number. It's your attitude that counts. I know 20 year olds with attitudes of 72 year olds!

    Life is so short! Enjoy each and EVERY day because tomorrow is promised to NO one!

    xoxoxo

  • So very true!

  • The only thing women should be concerned is about dressing and looking trashy... :) Other than that we can do it all LOL

  • I love your videos Lana. You seem like a really caring person. Also, happy belated birthday!

  • Thank You SO much for the wonderful Birthday Wishes! xoxox

  • Dear Lana,

    I just found a friend in you ! I am 56 and no one can tell my age ! Iam like you: I take care of myself, and I enjoy life as much as I can. I wake up every morning and I have a prayer which goes like this: Thank you God for this day, may it be the best day of my life. So you can say that is a tradition, not a fun one, but one that I do have and it makes me go by with a positive attitude Hey! I have to make this day the best one, right ? Keep your joy darling and enjoy live !

  • Good for You! Keep taking good care of yourself! I think the key to aging gracefully is to love and pamper yourself. no one else will do it for you!

    Thank You for your wonderful comment.

    PS. I love your daily prayer! xoxo

  • 53??? I am 46 and certainly hope I will be able to achieve such beauty! Luv your videos.

  • a vey belated happy birthday....i completley agree no matter if you are 5 or 90 everyone should celebrate life....like you are well done...i work with dying people so i do my best to celebrate each added day the lord gives me....i am 36 but have lost so many friends that did not even make it to 30 ..so yes everyday is a blessing and as you are doing just celebrate...well done

  • Wow! Your comment really hit home. It's so sad how many people I know, as well that are dying.

    "Tomorrow is Promised to NO One."

    Bless You for what you do. xoxox

  • OH I AM A CRAPPY FRIEND !!! I Did not know it was your bday

    I will have to give you a stealth hug !!!

  • LOL... you could NEVER be a crappy friend, silly girl~ xoxox
