0:25
journey I'm on a journey to discover my
0:27
little white lie you know and ever since
0:30
i did my live last week it was pretty
0:33
amazing i have to say we head over as of
0:36
right now over 1,100 views and Counting
0:40
on this line how cool is that and for me
0:44
it is a statement that people are
0:47
interested in showing up in their in
0:50
their own authentic self and i'm really
0:52
excited that you're coming along on this
0:54
journey with me I think I struck a nerve
0:57
because as I was reading through all of
1:00
the posts that came in and all of the
1:02
comments they came in hi Lisa let me let
1:07
me mention some of these comments that
1:08
came in because they were pretty pretty
1:10
amazing one person said being white
1:12
forever it is liberating and I applaud
1:15
you for embracing it well thank you and
1:17
then someone else said the truth is so
1:20
refreshing good for you i'm right behind
1:22
you i hope so because that's the whole
1:24
point i want you to come along on the
1:25
journey with me someone else said i'm
1:27
turning 71 and i don't want to be one of
1:29
those senior ladies who don't age
1:31
gracefully but try to look like
1:33
teenagers my hair and my facial lines
1:36
are my life story oh my gosh is that the
1:38
most amazing comment ever someone else
1:41
said white hair is is it you're a
1:45
trendsetter and I'm joining you in this
1:47
someone else has said I'm so excited for
1:49
this journey to unfold matter of fact
1:52
white lies are sexy and provocative I
1:55
don't know how you feel about that but I
1:57
think that's a great way to put it
1:58
someone else said hair color isn't
2:00
important anyway what is age it's only a
2:04
number and i like to say ages an
2:06
attitude and then someone last said this
2:09
is better than a therapy session well
2:11
that's awesome
2:13
that's really awesome so welcome in come
2:16
on in and if you want to make any
2:17
comments I'll be happy to you know put
2:19
you up here on the big screen so that we
2:22
can share your thoughts but today I
2:23
thought what we would do is we would
2:25
flesh out those five steps to uncovering
2:27
your great now as we said last week it
2:30
may not be your gray it may be makeup it
2:32
may be the high shoes that you were the
2:34
high heels or maybe for the guys it
2:36
maybe you lost your hair and you know
2:38
you're balding and how do you go out
2:41
there without feeling like you know go
2:43
ahead put a hat on or something so let's
2:45
flush out these steps so number one you
2:47
have to make the decision right and so
2:50
what I suggest that you take some time
2:51
to reflect on it on the Y reflect on
2:55
your why and your want to wanting to do
2:58
this transition what are the pros where
3:00
the cons what I did is I took a pad of
3:01
paper out and I literally started
3:03
journaling and all the things that would
3:05
be a bad thing about doing this all the
3:07
things that would be a good thing about
3:08
doing this and I was able to come up
3:10
with my my pros and my cons and finally
3:13
make that decision and then finally
3:15
picture in your mind what it's going to
3:18
feel like what it's going to look like
3:19
how are you going to feel when you
3:22
accept this challenge and you step into
3:24
your real you so the second thing is to
3:28
talk to your hairdresser and in fact I
3:29
went to my hairdresser today and she you
3:33
know we talked about what I should do it
3:35
is you see here again I told you I was
3:37
going to be very transparent and very
3:39
vulnerable to show you this and I had
3:41
got this what looks like a halo at this
3:43
point and i have to tell you guys when I
3:46
walked into my hairdresser today because
3:47
we had been talking about this for a
3:49
while when I walked in the first thing
3:51
that I said to her was I am loving my
3:53
hair and she looked at me like I was a
3:55
crackpot quite frankly and she said
3:57
really and I said yeah I'm totally
3:58
embracing this there's something about
4:00
being able to step out as you who you
4:02
really are and we we took a look at my
4:05
hair and she trimmed it we talked about
4:06
the products and she said that my health
4:08
my hair is really healthy which is a
4:10
really good thing especially when you're
4:12
growing your your hair out because gray
4:14
hair white hair does not feel the same
4:16
as you know you're what used to be your
4:18
natural color hair and so we talked and
4:22
we've consulted with each other what is
4:24
the plan how am I
4:25
to do this how long is it going to take
4:27
she thought that you know with with the
4:29
kind of color that's coming in and how
4:31
soon is coming in it's not going to take
4:33
as long it might take from somebody else
4:34
but but others might take even shorter
4:37
than me so decide on your plan decide
4:39
how you're going to do this and how
4:41
you're going to look during the process
4:42
and the best hair products to use when
4:44
you go over to the little white lie comm
4:46
check it out because I've got some
4:48
products listed on there that I use I
4:50
use a product called unite but there's
4:52
lots of amazing products out there
4:53
purple shampoo did you know there's
4:56
something called purple shampoo and you
4:58
put it in your hair when you got all the
4:59
orange coming through and sure enough
5:00
we'll take your purple away okay number
5:04
35 support from other white liars I like
5:08
that find support from other white liars
5:10
it can be online or it can be the
5:12
kitchen table right by somebody in your
5:15
circle of friends that have done this
5:17
already or find somebody online or
5:19
groups online there's some great
5:21
facebook groups guys out there one that
5:23
I belong to is called gray and proud and
5:25
it's in the Facebook arena but there's
5:28
lots of them go in and you want to find
5:29
a community that's going to be
5:31
supportive of you and not going to
5:32
challenge you as to why you're doing
5:33
what you're doing let's see seek out
5:36
other people who are doing what you're
5:38
doing or have done what you've done or
5:40
maybe be thinking about what you're
5:42
doing and most of all don't go it alone
5:44
this is not something that you need to
5:46
do by yourself that's why I'm doing this
5:48
in front of all of you this is why I'm
5:49
doing this publicly because you don't
5:51
have to do it alone because it can be a
5:53
really tough and emotional journey and
5:54
you know you wake up in the morning and
5:55
say oh my gosh what am I going to do do
5:57
I need to wear a hat today you know and
5:59
the next one is actually talking about a
6:02
hat is go out and buy yourself some hats
6:04
if you're really concerned and you don't
6:06
want people to see what you look like go
6:09
ahead and buy yourself a hat how fun is
6:10
this there are so many really cute hats
6:12
out there go out and buy yourself a hat
6:14
now are you going to wear a hat out you
6:17
know it all day long at dinner time when
6:19
you go out probably not but you might
6:21
and go find something that you like that
6:23
you want to put on that's going to make
6:25
you feel like it's a little bit
6:27
different so that you're prepared right
6:30
on a rainy day I'm going to go ahead and
6:31
take this off because I don't need it
6:34
and sometimes you're just having a bad
6:36
hair day and you want to cover it up I'm
6:37
looking at my note guide so
6:39
want to make sure that I don't miss
6:40
anything and then finally just go for it
6:43
so make a plan talk to your hairdresser
6:45
find other people that are doing this
6:47
along with you other white liars as i
6:50
like to call them and then finally just
6:52
go for it it's you know it's just a blip
6:54
in a very long time that we are on this
6:57
earth it's only going to be a blip in
6:59
time there are lots of ways to
7:02
transition slowly take it slow take it
7:07
fast do it anyway you want to do I agree
7:09
Ben Z hats are cool there did we got
7:13
some comments here Ben Z said hats are
7:15
cool we have Lisa Lamont who said Oh
7:17
below dip God is Karen thank you for
7:20
those of you who don't know I had the
7:21
opportunity of being on a reality TV
7:24
show called below deck Mediterranean so
7:25
it's been a lot of fun and finally
7:29
here's the last but not least you can
7:31
always change your mind you're not stuck
7:34
so if you decide you want to start
7:36
something like this whatever your little
7:38
white lie is and you start going through
7:39
the process and you start growing it out
7:41
and you just finally say you know what
7:43
this is not for me I'm just not happy
7:45
with it what's the worst-case scenario
7:47
can you live with it of course you can
7:49
you can go back to your hairdresser and
7:50
have your hair colored again it doesn't
7:53
make you any less than or more than it
7:55
just simply wasn't your time to do it so
7:58

8:13
ready to come out is the real you have
8:15
you been wearing more makeup than you
8:16
want to wear are you wearing high heels
8:18
are you guys that you're balding you
8:21
haven't been able to lose those 50
8:23
pounds and somebody told you that you're
8:24
not going to look good unless you have
8:25
those 50 pounds loss and if it's not a
8:27
health reason maybe you don't want to
8:29

that the trend for young people they go

out and they color hair silver and gray

color their hair so there was actually
9:22
some discussion with my hairdresser
