Teresa, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles, visits her local fitness centre at least three to four times per week while wearing full makeup and jewellery.
Digital Desk: Mary Ann Clifton, 108, of Britain's Orpington in south-east London, has some friendly advice for everyone. The secret to a long and happy life, according to the centenarian, also known as Rosina, is a "tipple at lunchtime." "(It's) never harmed me." Work hard, but party harder - a little hard work won't hurt you," according to the BBC.
Clifton was born on March 16, 1915, in Lambeth, south London, and after finishing school, she worked as a clothing cutter. She then went on to work for her daughter's printing company. She met her late husband Ernie at school when they were both 12 years old, according to the report. Pamela and Bernie were the couple's two children. Rosina is now the grandmother of four grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-grandchildren.
The great-grandmother gave the tip at a surprise tea party hosted by the care team at the UK's Foxbridge House, where she was also joined by the Mayor of Bromley. She also received a birthday telegram from the King on this special day.
According to Stella Barnes, home manager at Foxbridge House, Clifton is a "much-loved and popular" resident. Barnes went on to say that the staff worked quickly to plan the surprise party, during which the King's birthday card message was read out and guests "enjoyed scones with jam and cream" as well as a singalong to music from the 1920s to the 1940s.
This isn't the first time a centenarian has offered some words of wisdom.
Teresa, a 103-year-old Camarillo, California resident, recently demonstrated how sheer determination can help one achieve anything in life.
Teresa, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles, visits her local fitness centre at least three to four times per week while wearing full makeup and jewellery. Her daughter, Sheila Moore, told the outlet that the gym was her mother's "happy place."
Born in Italy, Teresa married her late husband in 1946. “When she left Italy, she lived a vagabond life and I think curiosity was a big motivating factor,” Sheila said.
On how to live a long and happy life, Teresa said, “Try to be happy. Try to think of good things – to think everything is beautiful, to think beautiful things.”
