Oleda Baker is a former supermodel who's never had a facelift, yet still looks half her age. She's the designer of health and beauty aids sold worldwide. She's a self-taught artist exhibited in museums. Her looks will dazzle, her resolve will empower and her example will forever alter your image of aging!

Be sure to catch Oleda's exhibit at the Museum of Florida Art -- along with other emerging and established artists that prove it's never too late. You can see a gallery of photos from opening night here!

Want to ask Oleda a question about beauty, fashion, art or anything else? She'd love to hear from you at oleda@oleda.com. And you can visit her Web site at www.oleda.com.

    Oleda:

    You are certainly due congratulations from the 'human race', not just women.  Just don't change a  thing.  I am 78.  I can outhike almost anyone I go hiking with.  They always want to stop and rest.  I love to carry cocktails, Nosh, Camera, etc., in case we find a beautiful spot (the world is full of them). The only problem I have is, I hate leaving my 'kids' Lhasa Apso and two cats, alone.  They do fine.  I just miss them.  I play tennis (in any temperature) and love to swim.  I live in Vegas and it does get hot here.  You are a true inspiration.  I am trying to complete a Novel and just hope I can complete a single book before I am called.  You have done so much.  God bless you.  So happy for both you and your husband in finding Love during advanced yours.  I have spent my life listening to people tell me I should do this, do that, etc.  Most of them are no longer here.  Many others are fifty percent over weight, smoke, take so many Rx drugs they need a separate bag in which to carry them, in the event they go anywhere.  You keep doing exactly what you have been doing.  Don't change a thing.

    Remarkable! Stunning! A Woman who gets it! We are what we eat, and we get a new body (on a cellular level) every 7 years. Which means we have a unique opportunity to have an influence in our aging processes. The body we have right now is a direct result of what we did or did not do--intake or did not intake--assimilate or did not assimilate, and / or put on or not put on it, (skin) during the last 7 years. When people learn that I am 40, I get the jaw drop reaction, just like the one I just gave you when you said your age! It's wonderful, and Thank God, we're all capable of getting there. Stay healthy and much continued success.    My purpose is to produce hope and revelation in the lives of all people, and your very essence just helped me to do that.

    Wonderful video - Thank You Oleda, you are an inspiration for us all - I remember wanting your lovely hair when I was just a teenager and seeing your products advertised in all my favorite Fashion Magazines!
    YOU GO GIRL!!

    Hey Oleda..Loved your video, your enthusiasm, your not willing to take no for an answer, you are a true inspiration. When I saw your picture I thought that hey maybe 60-62, never did I expect 75, almost fell out of the chair. I'm 60 soon to be 61 and I feel charged up again after watching what you've done in your life. God bless you Girl, or as they say in the modern world...'YOU GO GIRL"

    Hi, Oleda (Stepmom):

    Yes, this is Oleda's stepson, Scott.  Oleda was an inspiration while I was growing up in her and my late father's house, and continues to be to this day.  Even as a middle-aged boomer, I take her advice from time to time, and can testify that it is never too late to follow your dreams.  I'm writing and editing for Op Ed News now, and thinking of writing another novel (Isn't it great to have time you didn't have when you were younger?).  My last novel, Neitherworld, is still on sale on Amazon for you SF Thriller fans out there.

    Hi Oleda,

    I've sent this video and website to a few of my California friends. I want them to enjoy and appreciate you like David and I do! You have inspired me to start painting again. Just have to find a place in  my home and the TIME

    Love you, Michelle

    Hi Oleda,
    Congratulations on your exhibit. I use your products and celebrate your creativity on all levels. You're a beautiful example of what I write about in my new book, Your Personal Renaissance. I believe that we're all here to embrace our personal gifts and use them to make a positive difference in the world.

    Peace and joy to you,
    Diane Dreher

    Well as a working fashion photographer you are an inspiration to many of the young ladies I photograph now.

    Great to see a kindred spirit.  I am about a month younger than you and have had a great career that is still very active in feature films.  I also am an experiential healer using Homeopathy and Flower Remedies.  I learned this all by carrying diagnosing books and remedies on film sets which as you know are stressful and enervating at every level. Crews and casts were happy to read and try the remedies as they have no side effects and it was evident they worked.  Now more and more I am an activist doing what I can to get the people of the world to begin to see there are safer and better ways to care for themselves that do not include pharmaceuticals and the horrendous cost they burden the public with from Flu vaccines to anti-depressants. 
    I cannot claim to look as beautiful as you do at this age nor as holistic in my personal life style but my spirit, my stamina and my desire to help others equals yours.  I applaud you as a kindred spirit.  You might want to have some fun and watch my music rap done in front of my house in Toronto in the fall of 2007.  You Tube John Board.  Enjoy and thanks for your efforts.
    John

    Awesome! I'm thrilled that you're still conquering new territories and living life fully.  Thanks for the inspiration.

    Thank you Oleda, for sharing your inspiring story! In fact, I am sharing your story with my classmates, as we ready ourselves for our 45th high school reunion this summer.

     

    Happy Sunshine!

    Oleda, what a beautiful and talented lady you are!  Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all could have that.  I look fairly young for my almost 66 years, but doubt that will last until I'm 75.  The best to you in all that you pursue in the future, and may your outer and inner beauty last forever.

    Carol
