"Dear Friend:
You can lead a healthy,
longer, more youthful life only if YOU take charge
of it. My doctors and dentist can't believe the
condition of my body at age 71. They tell me to
keep doing whatever it is I'm doing. I am. You
can, too! Click on the Categories to discover how

Age
13 | I was an
amateur hairdresser at age 12. I loved to work with the
tresses of my mother, aunt and friends. I would clip and
shape their hair and give home permanents. My dad
thought I was so good at it, he offered to send me to
“Beauty School” when I was old enough. He wanted me to
perfect this innate talent, but I had different goals. I
really enjoyed the feeling I got from seeing how happy
people felt after I helped them look better and feel
better about themselves. I helped transform their hair,
almost like magic. By the time I was 20, I had become
captivated with hair, makeup and skin care. Daddy
influenced me a great deal. He was a health enthusiast.
“Take charge of your health, practice
p-r-e-v-e-n-t-i-v-e medicine,” he preached. “Only you
can take charge of your health and the way you look,” he
always said. He was right and I have followed this
precept ever since. You’ll find me urging you, and
everyone else, to do the same in the quest for beauty
and health. |

New York Here I
Come! |
By the time I turned 26, I was married with a 1 1/2
year old son and doing some local modeling in Miami. We
went to New York City because I wanted to try to make it
as a model in the “big league.” In hindsight, it was
naive of me to walk in cold like that. But I had
confidence which I inherited from my Dad. And, perhaps,
I didn’t know any better. Well, it was one of those
miracles. I had the maturity of a 26-year-old woman but,
because I had taken care of myself, I was told I looked
19. It turned out that youthful maturity was appealing
to advertisers.
Most models are fading already at age 26. I modeled
for the famous Wilhelmina Agency for 12 years, retiring
at 38. I worked for such companies as Clairol, Elizabeth
Arden, Revlon, clothing manufacturers and fur designers.
I appeared in magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar
and Cosmopolitan, to name a few. At the same time, I
pursued my passion for learning about and testing beauty
and health products, as well as techniques. I was
constantly sharing them with my ever-curious friends who
were models. I became fascinated with the potential to
look and feel better while living a longer and
healthier, thus happier, life.
I had been offered a couple of Hollywood screen tests
during this period but declined. My interests and goals
had become focused on antiaging and beauty. I could not
see myself in a Hollywood role. (Besides, I probably
would have been terrible at it!)

Now I'm Really On My
Way
While still working with Wilhelmina, who
had become my friend and mentor, I authored my first of
nine books on beauty, diet and health. It was entitled,
The Models’ Way to Beauty, Slenderness and Glowing
Health, published by Prentice-Hall. This was the real
beginning of my calling which has always been to share
with the general public. My sharing includes all the
ideas and techniques, including tricks, that I have
experimented with and developed over the years.

Favorite Sport

At age 38, after a few false starts, I found a
terrific laboratory. Together, with their help, I
developed my first jar of antiwrinkle face cream
that would do what I wanted. This led to Oleda and
Company, Inc., my national mail-order company that
deals with beauty, diet and health. Today, we
offer all the products you find here. Each one has
been created under my supervision, using only the
best ingredients and the best laboratories in the
country. All of the products have been designed to
help us all look and feel younger than our age.

In the meantime, I was raising my
son, David, riding horses, doing volunteer work,
gardening, oil painting and fly-fishing. I enjoyed
it all, business and pleasure, and every day
seemed to bring a brand new opportunity.

Is There Life After 71?
The caption under the
photos of me doing the flip above says, "Why is Oleda,
age 69, doing the flip? Because she can!" In reality, I
hope this demonstration of flexibility at my age serves
as inspiration to those who want to become more agile.
I'm always working on products to help us all achieve
our antiaging goals. Doing this, I realize how
dramatically the beauty and health industry has advanced
over the years. Concerns about animal testing, recycling
and biodegradable products are on everyone's mind while
developing natural products without certain chemicals
and dyes. There's so much we're learning about new
ingredients and how they work. There is also so much
more we can do for ourselves at home with information
about these wonderful and important products. That's why
I can't think of retirement. There's just too much going
on, always something new I'll have to tell you about. My
mission is never ending. I love it!

My Message Is

Now that I’m older, people see my results
and believe my message. They see the results in
themselves: newly found energy, youthful looks, feeling
good, while taking charge of their lives. Just like my
Daddy used to preach.
Now I Want To Help You
Believe In Yourself
Know you can achieve almost anything you
want to, including changing your aging process! Think
big but start small. Take one day at a time. You can
change your life just by changing the way you think
about yourself. Love yourself and know that you deserve
time for yourself. Schedule it into your busy life. I am
here for you with information and the best products to
help you reach your own Ageless goal. I would love to
hear about any transformations which have affected your
life. If I can answer any questions, please e-mail or
snail mail me. You’ll receive an answer.
