Woman Takes The Same New Year’s Pic 10 Years In A Row And Someone Noticed She Hasn’t Aged A Bit

ADVERTISEMENT

We all have that friend who, no matter how long has passed, seems never to look any older. “Good for them,” you might say, but as you look at your saggy old face in the mirror you can’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy.

One such example is Chicago-based actor and comedian Meredith Stepien. She has taken a photo of herself every year for a decade, with her hair artfully arranged into the numbers of the coming year to prove it.

While this isn’t very remarkable in of itself, it is her seemingly never-ending youth that is notable, as her infectious smile and sparkling eyes appear completely unchanged throughout the entire decade. What is her secret? Has she discovered the fountain of youth, the one that Keanu Reeves has been drinking from?

Scroll down below to check out her pics!

When you lay on your back, your face has an instant facelift, but love her how cute her idea is! :)

I wish this was about her hair idea or how fun these images are instead of "she hasn't aged"--well, she has, as she's not dead--but why should that be important?

The secret of youth is a charming, cheerful smile. Look for and find as many reasons for joy and you will also be young, like this beautiful woman. Translation for others who might want to enjoy this lovely comment. Я полностью с вами согласен Valeriya.

What's wrong with aging anyway? I worked hard for these grey hairs and character lines.

It's picking the right 10 years. And her face does change a little, she looks a wee bit plumper at the beginning

well she is laying down in all the photographs... so all the fat in her face is laying on her face somewhat instead of hanging down showing wrinkles... if she had any she is a slender person... we all have fat in face.

She has aged you can see it if you pay attention to small details, for the rest I don't need to explain the point of using makeup

I have a daughter in her 40's and a grandmother. I was on the phone with her yesterday when she was in a convenience store and heard them ask her for ID. She gets so annoyed that she still gets carded on occasion. I told her to enjoy it. So yes, for some lucky people, aging is not so visibly obvious.

The most likely answer is that the photos were were taken over the course of a few days, not years. Changing hair and makeup is not so tough. Only subtle differences are needed, as most women develop a style and stick with it.

It only took her four years to learn to look at the camera when she takes the picture. Hehehe

I think she is laying down in the pics. Have you tried that and looked in a mirror? It takes off at least 10 years lol
