“The crazy part is, if we all had money, Im sure theres something we would all fix about ourselves. So why judge other people ? I see women bashing women constantly. Let that woman be fine on her own and feel confident Ÿ’•”

“Lets normalize aging gracefully. You dont have to be 21 Forever ”
While Instagram user @laheelah_ added.
“Nene looks amazing. However, I hope that we dont become a society that no longer appreciates the beauty in aging gracefully! Aging is one thing, sculpting your face to look completely different has nothing to do with aging. Plenty of celebrities over 50 look amazing and while Im sure many of them are getting treatments & such, they still look like themselves halle, Tracey ellis ross, lisaraye, angela basset all these women are aging gracefully and still look like the same person they were 20 years ago…”
