I’m a 50-year-old mum-of-2 but I still get ID’ed in Co-op – my lash extensions and highlights keep me young
A 50-YEAR-OLD mum-of-two who still gets ID’ed has revealed the secret behind her youthful glow.
Abbi Franklin, from Guildford, Surrey, has been finding it challenging coming to terms with her age since celebrating the milestone birthday earlier this year, in March.
However, the stunning mum-of-two recently received the ultimate confidence boost after a cashier at Co-op asked for Abbi’s ID before allowing her to buy tobacco.
The blonde – whose daughters are aged 17 and 23 – was forced to step out of the store to grab her handbag that she’d left with her teenager in the vehicle.
Luckily, Abbi did have the ID in her purse – although she later admitted that it wasn’t something she tends to carry with herself.
Despite dealing with health issues that prevent her from working, the 50-year-old takes great pride in her looks.
The stunner likes to maintain a glam appearance with eyelash extensions, blonde highlights, numerous ear piercings, beauty treatments and stylish outfits that are trending.
It’s not just loved ones who often remark on her youthful looks and glow – strangers, too, typically guess she’s around 35.
Speaking of the Co-op incident, Abbi said: ”It was great – my best day ever! I’ve been bouncing all week because of this.
She added: ”I just kept saying “you’re joking.” And he kept going, “No, I need to see ID’.”
The mother-of-two went on: ”It was lucky really – I don’t usually take my ID out with me.”
This comes after a singleton was trolled online after people insisted she looked 20 years older than her actual age.
Dark-haired Lindsay Lucido recently took to Instagram to chat about dating and being single – however, the comedian‘s video took the internet by storm for an entirely different reasons.
It wasn’t so much her single status that made the video go viral on the platform – it was Lindsay’s age.
In the clip, viewers could see the comedian sport stylish glasses with a black frame, no make-up, as well as a cosy zip-up hoodie, before Lindsay revealed that she was 30.
How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves – no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
This was something many refused to believe, as one person asked: ”Sorry, You are 30 for how many decades?”
”30? Who? What? Where?” someone else was baffled.
”Damn 30?! Y’all age like spoiled milk,” a brutal troll added.
”You look rough for a 30 years old,” chimed in a fourth, as viewers reckoned she looked 20 years older, with one guessing ”50”.
