little white lie and today the topic is
0:44
about aging and beauty and why do we
0:47
fall for that you know I've been talking
0:50
about the little white lie and this
0:52
journey that I'm on and how it's more
0:55
than a hair color but again in the
0:58
spirit of transparency I just have to
0:59
show you where I'm at so far and it is
1:01
growing in like a weed without
1:03
absolutely loving but apparently this is
1:06
really struck a chord I mean I have
1:08
gotten a tremendous amount of responses
1:10
we have over 2,000 views already on
1:13
these lives that I've been doing some
1:15
really really excited about that we even
1:17
got a shout out from the back 40 Flyers
1:19
who were inspired to write their own
1:21
post about gray hair and they reported
1:24
back to me that they love my little
1:27
white life so let's talk a little bit
1:29
about society and how society equates
1:32
gray hair with being old especially for
1:35
women does anybody out there remember
1:37
Claire all you remember Claire all
1:39
Claire offs go around but back in the
1:42
day in 1943 what is their ad said this
1:47
gray hair the Heartless dictator the
1:52
Heartless dictator clairol swiftly
1:55
surely and secretly eliminates the
1:57
heartaches of gray or grey hair can you
2:00
imagine that this is the kind of
2:03
commercials and advertising's and youth
2:06
paper and print ads that were out there
2:08
telling us basically that if you have
2:10
gray hair your old
2:12
you for the messages that society was
2:14
putting out there as we grew up and I
2:16
don't forget to go check the latest post
2:18
on the little white lie because I have
2:20
some really cool shots and of the
2:22
Clairol ad as well as some other things
2:24
there so that you can go check that out
2:26
so here I am on this little white lie
2:30
journey and I'm thinking about what was
2:32
going on in society years ago and I
2:34
thought you know what why don't I just
2:35
go to the source why don't I just fly
2:37
down to Los Angeles and talk to my mom
2:40
about her journey since she lived back
2:43
then mom I'm not making you old but you
2:45
lived back then at 30 when her white
2:48
hair was coming in so I asked her what
2:51
was it like for her and why did she
2:53
choose not to color her hair and I
2:56
thought he was going to tell me you know
2:58
all those ads to hire grey and all the
3:01
societal messages that oppressed aging
3:04
women you know dictating that beauty was
3:07
not gray or white hair well guess what
3:10
surprise there was not even an inkling
3:15
is that being a reason here's what she
3:17
told me she said Karen I had four kids
3:21
who has time who has planned to go color
3:24
your hair she never gave the whole gray
3:26
white transition thing any thought and
3:28
she said she didn't even know anybody
3:30
who was coing their hair and it was way
3:33
too expensive and I guess it's you know
3:34
when you have four kids and and all the
3:37
things that are going on in life you
3:38
have to spend that kind of money she
3:40
calls herself low maintenance she only
3:42
wears eyeliner and lipstick and she goes
3:46
to the drugstore to buy it until they
3:48
were discontinued and she really marches
3:51
to her own drum sort of like her
3:52
daughter and wow what an inspiration and
3:56
I want you really to go check out the
3:58
post because I have a picture of my mom
4:01
and my dad they're in all of their white
4:03
glory because they they really are an
4:05
inspiration to me and an inspiration I
4:08
think to anybody that sees these
4:09
pictures so I'll go check it out and it
4:12
really got me thinking why do we do this
4:14
to ourselves I mean really why do we do
4:16
this to ourselves why not listen to the
4:18
Beckett 22 beating our own drums right
4:20
just what is it that makes us tick we
4:24
live in a use of
4:25
Cesc culture I want to give you some
4:29
examples though of women who are doing
4:31
it their own way they're not coloring
4:33
their hair no plastic surgery and
4:35
they're embracing their age helen mirren
4:38
again I have pictures of all these women
4:40
in the blog post it's up right now judi
4:44
dench Nichelle Nichols you remember
4:46
lieutenant her from Star Trek Jamie Lee
4:50
Curtis Grace Slick all of these
4:54
wonderful amazing women and I didn't
4:57
even mention you know a ton of them but
4:59
these women are marching to their own
5:01
drum and they're not covering it up and
5:04
they are expressing who they are to the
5:07
world and then finally I want to talk
5:09
about Cindy Joseph now Sidney Joseph
5:12
started as a makeup artist for a lot of
5:15
celebrities and actors and actresses and
5:17
models she did a lot of print ad and she
5:19
was the one who made these women look
5:21
beautiful but she when she turned 49 I
5:25
believe she decided enough of this and
5:27
she went she just went to her natural
5:29
white and she put her money where her
5:32
mouth is and built an entire enterprise
5:34
around being oneself being beautiful
5:39
authentic you know self minimal makeup
5:42
and she actually created a pro age
5:45
cosmetic line you can read her story on
5:49
the little white lie as well as seeing
5:52
some photos of her and of these amazing
5:54
women and next week we'll talk a little
5:57
bit about products and things that we
5:59
see out there that were being encouraged
6:01
to use and some of them are good and
6:03
some of them you might want to think
6:05
about and what about my mom well she
6:08
embraces her aging and I think we can
6:10
all take take something from her when I
6:13
asked her you know what did she feel
6:15
about aging my mom is 81 years old she
6:17
still works full-time in an orthodontist
6:20
office and she said to me it's going to
6:22
happen whether you wanted to or not
6:25
perfect answer right whether you want it
6:28
or not we are all going to age and why
6:30
