Makeup, Menopause, and Madness

Authentically navigating middle age, menopause, and aging out loud and not gatekeeping anything!!

Welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m a retired Nurse Practitioner from Ohio who decided that life after medicine was the perfect time to trade in the scrubs for a cosmetic brush and a microphone. My blog is a real, raw, and delightfully chaotic look at navigation through makeup, menopause, and the beautiful madness of midlife. After decades of taking care of others, I’m dedicating this next chapter to exploring the changing needs of our skin, rediscovering personal style, and having a laugh at the wild ride that is aging gracefully (or sometimes, disgracefully).

Through my content creation journey, I love testing out the best in beauty, wellness, and style to see what actually works for us. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with incredible brands like e.l.f. Cosmetics, L’Oréal, Maybelline, Shapermint, and Truekind to bring you honest, unfiltered reviews. Whether you are here to master a new glowy makeup routine, find shapewear that actually lets you breathe, or just realize you aren’t alone in the midlife madness, I am so glad you’re along for the ride!
