The fitness enthusiast who has run three marathons expressed her belief that she is maturing gracefully, comparing it to aging like a fine wine, as she said in a video: “I said before that I actually think I look younger this year than I did last year.”
Adorned in a stylish black dress complemented by color-coordinated yellow, black, and white jewelry, the mum of two from Singapore conveyed to her fans: “I think that what is keeping me looking younger is not thinking about my age.
2. Also known as “California is too casual”, the fit mom wanted people to think of age as just a number
“Age is just a number. I have said it before, but more than that, just focus on what makes you happy.
“Focus on what makes you feel good. So, I always think, ‘if something looks good, smells good and tastes good, it’s good for you.’”
