I remember one Thanksgiving family dinner at my mother’s house. My great-grandmother (Susie-Mrtyle …yeah, dodged the Myrtle bullet), my grandmother (Janice) and my mom (Sharon) were all sitting around the kitchen table rolling dough for homemade rolls. All pretty ladies enjoying different stages of life – ALL DISPLAYING VARIOUS STAGES OF THE SAGGING NECK AND JAWLINE! I saw the future of my neck and jawline mapped out for me … scary.

I’m not one for endless facials, new kooky procedures and creams that we all know don’t really do anything except plump for a little while. I wouldn’t call myself vain (my husband would but I wouldn’t) BUT I do like to look as good on the outside as I feel on the inside. I swear sometimes I still feel like I’m in the 18-25 yr old age-group – inside that is! I think I actually look better now than I did when I was young BUT I don’t think I’m quite ready for the SAG.

So you know that saying, ‘The teacher appears when the student is ready’? – well that’s when I met Jackie Silver!!! I met Jackie on the set of Daytime Live and figured she was my age… SHE’S 50! So naturally, I go ‘guuuuurrrrrl, what’s your secret???’ and she gave me a copy of her book, Aging Backwards. She taught me a few facial exercises that day and I swear they work. Check out the video of me demonstrating the jawline exercise – totally something you can only do in the privacy of your own home!
