Nothing’s wrong, I promise 😊 But if you’ve been quietly wondering whether a wig might be right for you, I’m your girl.
I remember how nervous I was the first time, and I’d love to make it easier for you. Have you ever thought about wearing a wig? Drop your questions in the comments or send me a DM 💛

Life doesn’t slow down after 50, and neither do the high-stress moments! 😅 Whether it’s a big event, a nerve-wracking day, or a surprise hot flash, I need protection I can count on. That’s why I’m loving Secret Clinical Strength from Walmart. It gives you 100-hour sweat and odor protection made for life’s most intense moments, so you stay dry, confident, and smelling amazing all day long. 💪✨ 🎄 Bonus: Keep an eye out for Secret’s limited-edition holiday scents, available in-store at Walmart for a limited time! What’s your most “please don’t let me sweat” moment? Tell me below! 👇

I’ve always had thin hair, but during menopause it really started thinning, and I lost a piece of my confidence.

I’d buy new clothes hoping they’d make me feel like myself again. They were nice… but they didn’t fix how I felt when I looked in the mirror.

Because here’s the thing → you wear new clothes once in a while. You wear your hair every single day.

Finding the right wig gave me back more than hair. It gave me back me. I walk into a room differently now. 💛

If you’re quietly going through this, please know you’re not alone, and it’s okay to do what makes you feel like yourself.

Meet Bear, my Frenchie grand dog and my new life coach. 🐾

Now, Bear is HIGH energy (Frenchie lovers, IYKYK 😅). But she and the Roomba have reached an understanding: do not bother the botherer if the botherer is not bothering. 😂

Honestly? That’s the best advice I’ve heard in a while. After 50, I’ve learned not every battle needs me. If it’s not bothering me, I’m not bothering it. Peace over drama, every time.

If this little ball of energy can figure that out, so can we! 🐶

The secret weapon for glowy makeup after 50? It goes on BEFORE anything else ✨

I took a masterclass at Nordstrom with makeup artist Erica Taylor and OGEE, and she started with one step I’d never thought to do: jojoba oil first. It preps your skin so everything after it glides on and glows instead of settling into lines.

Here’s everything I used:
✨ Ogee Jojoba Oil
✨ Ogee Brightening Botanical Eye Balm
✨ Ogee Protect Skin Enhancing Primer
✨ Ogee Complexion Perfecting Tinted Serum in Poplar
✨ Ogee Complexion Perfecting Concealer in Fir
✨ Ogee Crystal Contour CollectionEverything is linked in my Linktree 🔗

I’ll keep taking classes and sharing what I learn, because it’s never too late to learn new tricks. Would you try oil before your makeup? Tell me in the comments 👇

At 60, I’m still learning, and I’m bringing YOU along! 💕💄
Yesterday I attended an exclusive OGEE workshop at Nordstrom with makeup artist and author Erica Taylor Erica Taylor, and I was grateful for the chance to learn from a true professional! She applied the products live and explained each step as she went. Seeing it done in real time made everything click! ✨
And let me tell you, Erica is just as kind and genuine in person as she is online. She took the time to answer every question and made us all feel so welcome. 💗
My favorite takeaway: our skin needs oil as we age! Erica prepped with the Ogee Hydraganics Jojoba Glow Face Oil, and when your skincare and makeup are made to work together, you get a smooth, flawless finish instead of makeup that sits on top of dry skin.
Want the full routine? Part 2 is tomorrow, where I’ll show you step by step exactly how she did it. Follow along so you don’t miss it! 👀
Because beauty after 50 isn’t about looking 30 again. It’s about understanding our changing skin and feeling confident at every age.
