At 36 years old, Emily was taken aback by the ‘wild’ guesses regarding her age, ranging from the mid-40s to beyond 60.

Comments on her TikTok video speculated about her appearance, attributing her perceived age to factors such as grey hair, skin texture, and fine lines.

Despite the diverse range of guesses, the overarching theme pointed towards an assumption of older age based on physical attributes.

Emily revealed that she stopped dyeing her hair during lockdown, embracing her natural grey hair as a symbol of authenticity and self-acceptance.

She emphasized the importance of women feeling comfortable in their own skin and rejecting societal pressures to conform to youth-centric beauty standards.

Contrary to speculation, Emily clarified that she has never undergone cosmetic procedures, including Botox, and opts to go makeup-free.

She attributed the bags under her eyes to the demands of motherhood, as she cares for her infant son, whose nighttime awakenings contribute to her fatigue.
