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!

I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics. I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

I agree with "Adogcalledkitty." Yes, she has aged. She doesn't look OLD and we have no idea what her age is, but she has a certain look of maturity after 10 years. The "aging" doesn't really start until late 40's, 50's etc. She goes from young girl to mature woman.

Yep, people read a title before seeing the article and automatically agree with it subconsciously and don't realize it. Best to just use your eyes instead of eating what they feed you.

She aged but she is somewhere 20-30 ages old and at this age the differences are hard to see.

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.

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.

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.
