She smoked for decades.
She drank a little port wine.
She ate around a kilogram of chocolate every week.
She started fencing at 85.
She rode a bicycle until around 100.

If someone described that lifestyle today, most of us probably wouldn't predict a world longevity record.

Which makes me wonder...

How much of exceptional longevity is actually explained by habits?

And how much comes down to genetics, environment, luck, or factors we still don't understand?

Jeanne Calment is a fascinating reminder that one extraordinary person doesn't overturn decades of medical research.

But she also reminds us how much we still have to learn about aging.

What do you think played the biggest role in her reaching 122?

Trying to figure out things I can do to pass better.

My acne scars on my forehead are big source of insecurity. Using a prescription treatment rn, but in all likelihood I’ll need a chemical peel or something.

One thing I’ve thought about a lot is hair. I heard a thing online that said while specific hairstyle is important, intentionality with hair is even more important, as women are often much more intentional with their hair choices, making it subliminal way of passing.

Problem is, I have neither a good style or intentionality with it. My intention was to just let it grow and I’d come up with a plan later. But now it’s falling into my back and I still have no plan. I feel like I look better with it tied back, which maybe ties into that intentionality thing. Idk. I’ve thought about dying it, but idk how it’d even look dyed.

So I’m basically looking for any tips you might have, maybe with an emphasis on hair ideas.
