As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]
It’s happened to all of us: You’re walking into a meeting and you catch a whiff of something. A slight odor. A bad smell. And you wonder, “Is that me?” You want to surreptitiously check that that unsavory aroma isn’t you, but you can’t do that here. So you just keep your arms at your […]
From clickbait-stories about pre-teens loving Sephora’s wares to fashion mags advocating for a 13-step nighttime routine at 30, skincare seems to be all we talk about. Without skincare and makeup tutorials, TikTok would just be boring recipes and people complaining about customer service. But what if you don’t understand the obsession? What if you just want […]

In the past few months, several of my friends and readers have reached out to ask for advice on handling adult acne. Even women who had never had acne, suddenly find themselves dealing with the spotted scourge after-35. And since the mental health impacts of having acne are very real, I thought, that as a […]
At 41, I struggle with looking in the mirror and not seeing “myself,” the self I was at 25, and 30, and 35, and even 39. But when the aging arrives (with an assist from the sleepless nights of parenthood), it can hit hard. So, after three years of only wearing makeup sporadically, I started […]
When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss. Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner? In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin. But in my 40s, my skin […]

Have you tired of the Sephora Sale content yet? How about a new rule? Influencers can’t sell you anything they didn’t actually buy at this sale. No more, I would have bought… or I really love, but didn’t need … or I’ve used before. Only what you actually purchased. If you didn’t need it on […]
Next week, I’m headed to Salt Lake City for my first work trip. As I prepare for five days on the road, I’m stocking up on the tools and products that I will need to survive the first of many weeks spent in a hotel. Here’s what I’m bringing to make sure I show up […]
Having a baby changes your body in ways that you can’t imagine. Eleven months later, I am still regrowing the hair I lost. It’s fantastic, especially for a woman as concerned about how her hair looks as I am.
