My Secrets to Staying Young 

People often ask what I do to stay looking and feeling young, and while I don’t believe there’s one magic secret, I do think it’s the little habits we practice every day that make the biggest difference over time.

Girls Just Wanna Have Glow

First, I take good care of my skin. I’ve been using Dr. Diamond’s Metacine skincare line, and it has truly become a staple in my routine. Healthy, glowing skin is one of the best investments you can make, and consistency is far more important than chasing every new trend.

I use sunless tanner instead of laying out. It gives you a beautiful healthy glow without the damage from the sun.

Here is what I use on my skin in the morning..

Dream a Little Dream of Me

Sleep is another non-negotiable for me. I know life gets busy, but giving your body time to rest and recover is one of the simplest ways to look and feel your best.

Drinking Queen

I’ve also never smoked or drank alcohol. While everyone chooses what’s right for them, I believe those choices have played a big role in helping me feel healthy as I’ve gotten older. I do drink lots of water! I aim for 90 oz everyday with some electrolytes. Hydrating your body makes such a difference in your skin and overall health.

These Boots are Made for Walking

Movement is part of my daily routine, too. I aim for 7,000–10,000 steps each day and strength train three times a week. Building muscle isn’t just about fitness—it’s one of the best things you can do for your long-term health and energy.

Where’s the Beef

Nutrition matters just as much. I try to prioritize protein and aim for around 100 grams each day to support my body and keep me feeling satisfied. And yes—I absolutely enjoy dessert! I believe sugar has a place in life… just in moderation. Life is meant to be enjoyed.

To hit my protein goal daily, I drink a protein shake, eat lean meat, cottage cheese, yogurt and fill in with lots of fruit and veggies. 

Girls Just Want to Have Fun

One thing that often gets overlooked is wearing clothes or makeup and perfume that make you feel beautiful. You don’t have to follow every trend. Find pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable because confidence has a way of making you glow from the inside out.

All you Need is Love

Finally—and most importantly—I believe our hearts have just as much to do with aging well as our habits. I prioritize my relationship with God, invest in my marriage, cherish time with family and friends, and make room for laughter every single day. Joy is one of the most beautiful things we can wear, and I truly believe it keeps us young.

At the end of the day, staying young isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about caring for your body, nurturing your soul, and finding joy in the everyday moments. Those are the habits that never go out of style. Be kind to yourself, you are incredible and loved!
