My Mom How She Stays Fit

A reader asked me how my mom stays so young and stylish.

I asked my mom, who is 88 years old, what was her secret, and she said,

"I eat candy, a lot of it everyday. I only wear dresses, and when I wake up, I get dressed and put on makeup."

Here are a few more of "her secrets," my mom rarely wears anything of color; mostly, 

she wears shades of black. She doesn't drink, has never smoked, and doesn't exercise, but she keeps up her home alone, 

And she goes to bed early and sleeps ten hours straight. 

What's your secret to youthfulness?

  1. Your lovely mother also prays and read the Bible daily and loves her family , God and life deeply

  2. Always wear lipstick and face cream! Laugh! Be yourself.

  3. “I eat candy, a lot of it everyday…” This made me laugh out loud. I followed this approach all through the holidays. Now I have to exercise it off. Your mom looks great though and is so creative!

    She moves and is active all day and cooks fresh food at home. Stays engaged with family and friends. Prays quietly with her rosary. Then sleeps like a baby. Those all will lead to a long and Rich life.

    What kind of candy does she like?

  6. Botox for my habitual frowning lol and my mother’s youthful genes 😝!
    Perhaps hating the sun too lol 😆! But if there’s brocante to be sifted through – all sun hating disappears 🤣

  7. Judy,
    My mom never met a candy she doesn’t like. Anything chocolate,
    Red Whip is a favorite. Candy.

  9. Omg I love your mom. Her family and love keep her young at heart, and candy.

  10. What a special mom you have. I love that she eats candy and dresses in shades of black.
    One secret I am learning is to keep moving.

  11. I love your Mom’s philosophy! What a gem!
