She built her cheekbones without surgery. Here is how.
Hey Wellness Junkies 👋🏻,
Hope your summer is summering ☀️ Back from my road trip and such a fun getaway. I hope you’re able to get out in nature, get away for a bit and de-stress. I have been inside working a lot lately and need to keep reminding myself to get outside. Note to self: go to the pool as well as practice golf!
On the pod this week, Juliana Spaven joins us - she is a 50-plus model, content creator, and just one of the most inspiring women I’ve had on this show. Seven years ago she was exhausted, irritable, not sleeping, and wondering if her best days were behind her. Sound familiar? Today she is thriving - and she did it without surgery, without Botox, and without anything toxic.
I learned so much in this conversation. I think you will too.
🎧 ON THE POD THIS WEEK
EP 221: The Beauty Hacks a 50-Plus Model Uses to Age Well Without Botox, Toxic Skincare, or Going Under the Knife with Juliana Spaven
Juliana is the founder of Silver Highlights 1971, a platform built around helping women age well naturally through movement, clean beauty, facial exercises, and more. And she is the real deal.

We chat about:
Quitting Botox after a decade - and the comment from her husband that changed everything.
Facial exercises - she went from jowls and saggy skin to being booked by Lancôme at 53. She literally built her cheekbones.
Her six-module facial exercise program - forehead, eyes, mid-face, mouth, neck and posture. You can start seeing results in as little as three weeks.
Hair loss, hormones and scalp health
Clean beauty brands she loves - list below 🔗
Daily meditation - how she stays grounded and why it is non-negotiable for her
My biggest takeaway: One of her followers had eye surgery scheduled and canceled it after buying Juliana's course. She wanted to try the exercises first. That is the power of this episode. She explains that your face, your skin, your energy - all of it has more potential than you think. And you have more control than you think.
🛒 WHAT WE’RE LOVING LATELY
You know we love sharing the real MVPs - the products we actually use, repurchase, and talk about off-mic.
Here are Juliana’s favorites from this week’s episode. Loved all the new brands she introduced!
Her Go-to Clean Mascara - gives insane lash length without toxic ingredients
Another clean volumizing mascara - one of my fave mascaras too
Microneedling Tool Juliana Swears by for Collagen + Glow - she uses it twice a week
Muktiorganics - Certified Organic, Natural Australian Skincare, Hair Care And Body Care
