Inside Out Beauty With Kelly O
I've always loved hair, skin and all things beauty. Finally sharing those things in my 50's! Thanks for stopping in!
Well. It’s official. Nineties wedding gowns are vintage.
I’ve spent my 50s learning how to support my health and vitality for the long term. So when I heard that Lancôme Longevity MD Reset The Cream contains Mitopure, an ingredient that’s been generating interest in wellness and aging research, I was curious.
What I appreciate is that this approach isn’t about chasing a younger appearance—it’s about helping your skin look and feel its best at every age.
The same mindset that guides my strength training and nutrition choices now extends to my skincare routine. Taking care of your body and your skin can go hand in hand.
A little science. A little self-care. And hopefully many healthy, active years ahead.
Ever since folks started taking about NOVU on TikTok, I knew I had to go!
It was like Disney for beauty products.
The shoppers and the staff were so friendly!
You need to check it out when you’re in Raleigh!
I saw all over TikTok and I HAD to check it out.
It was like Disney World for all things beauty. L
I was not disappointed!
Someone went to work cranky this morning.
That someone was me.
There’s about a dozen folks who hang out at one of the time clocks in the morning, waiting to clock in.
They’re all happy and greeting eachother.
I truly need a second cup of coffee to tolerate their morning joy.
Betty and me.
Sometimes we work so hard to keep a straight face.
I remember each of these class pics.
The second to last one was taken my junior year for my senior yearbook. I did it like the pics so my mom took me to a “portrait studio” to have the last ones taken with the big hair.
Looking back, the first senior pic was really me.
Time flies. It truly does.
Never would have believed that in 1984.

I realized that it’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted in the grid, and an even longer time since I’ve posted anything creative or fun.
I don’t feel creative or fun.
I’m angry, sad and scared.
You see, my mom would always say, “Oh the world today” and then go on about all the bad in the world.
I would tell her that bad things have ALWAYS happened, and that in modern times, with the 24 hour news cycle and events in real time, that we’re just seeing so much more of it.
I would try to tell her that there is still good.
The news doesn’t show the good. “If it bleeds it reads”. Goodness doesn’t sell.
That even in our own country, when things seem contentious, I felt safe in knowing that our government will always to what’s best for its people.
What a fool I was. A damn fool. Living in my own little Pollyanna world.
I don’t believe it anymore. I don’t feel safe. I don’t feel free.
It’s hard to make fun/beauty posts when everything feels heavy.
When you see injustices happening in front of your eyes—sure I could look away. Sure I could choose to be uninformed and not consume any news. But to ignore is to be complicit.
I cannot ignore what is happening.
I won’t be quiet about how I feel.

Because I have no fun beauty content for you, enjoy this pic of my mom at a baseball game in the early 50s. I think this was her attempt at “modeling”.
I trust the Haleon brand in caring for both me and my Mom. I keep these products Well Within Reach for our everyday needs.
