Perimenopause — or what some women jokingly call “cougar puberty” — is not for the faint of heart. Women go through SO many physical and emotional changes during this phase of life. We talk a lot about: • weight gain • joint aches • hair thinning • frozen shoulder …but honestly, the sk

Dior understood the assignment with this foundation 👏 As someone with reactive, hormonal skin at 50, I ask a LOT from my foundations. I deal with: • rosacea • melasma • redness • oily areas • dryness + texture around my chin/mouth So finding foundation that gives coverage WITHOUT look

At 50, I’ve learned that foundation isn’t just about coverage… it’s about undertone. I tested multiple shades of the Prada Reveal Skin Optimizing Foundation and narrowed it down to MW45 vs MW50. Same formula. Same application. But one side looks like skin… and the other looks heavier and sli

My skin didn’t just “start acting up”… it changed. At 50, I’ve been dealing with rosacea, reactivity, and inflammation that honestly didn’t make sense at first. But once I started understanding what was happening hormonally… it clicked. This isn’t random. It’s my skin responding to chan

They say there are 90 symptoms of menopause — and honestly, once you start listing them, it makes sense. We talk about hot flashes and night sweats, but what about itchy skin, dizziness, or even a burning mouth? 👀 Menopause impacts every system in our bodies — physical, emotional, hormonal, and

Not all hysterectomies lead to surgical menopause. I had mine at 50, but I kept my ovaries — so my experience looks very different from women who go through sudden surgical menopause. For me, it hasn’t been an overnight crash of hormones. Instead, I notice shifts that are more gradual. Still, i
