Hi, I’m Delia 👋
I’m a 45-year-old perimenopausal mom raising two teen boys in Arizona — which basically means I test products under real-life stress.

If it’s linked here, it’s something I actually use.
Thanks for being here 🤍

#LTKstorytime #LTKOver40 #LTKvlog

This is what going to bed looks like in perimenopause.
Under-eye patches for mature skin.
Vibration plate so tomorrow doesn’t personally attack me.

#LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife #LTKdayinmylife

I didn’t really start skincare until September 2025, and I wish I had sooner.

These are the products I committed to, kept simple, and actually use consistently now.

Sharing in case you’re also starting later than everyone else.

#LTKgrwm #LTKdayinmylife #LTKBeauty

I went 6 months without Botox… and my skin looked better 😅

My injector literally noticed the difference.

Nothing fancy—just consistent.

these are my non-negotiables now

anyone else taking skincare way more seriously now?? Medicube is my go to!

#LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare #LTKdayinmylife

No one warned me this would be my routine in my 40s…
but here we are anyone else?

Okay wait… I totally forgot I had this dress and it might be the one 😳✨
This black sequin dress is giving cocktail party energy without being tight or uncomfortable (because we’re not doing that anymore 🙃)
Old Navy Size L

Wearing my running shorts underneath 🤣and it just skims everything in the best way.

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKgrwm

Okay but why did this look SO good on the Amazon Virtual try-on… and then show up like this?? 😭

I wanted to love this one—bright, fun, perfect for spring/summer—but the fit was a no for me. Way too much fabric and zero shape = instant return 🙃

Proof that not every “cute online” moment translates in real life… and that’s okay 😂

Linking it if you want to try it for yourself (it might work on you!) but for me… hard pass 💔

#LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

Got my real life dress in person and honestly… it’s a win.

I’m super picky with dresses (especially right now in this season of life 🙃), but this one is:
✔ flattering in the waist
✔ not clingy in the stomach
✔ flowy in the hips without making them look bigger

This is a Large😉

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife

Trying on a few Amazon for upcoming events using their virtual try-on.
Sharing a mix of cocktail and Derby-style options — linking everything here in case you’re looking for something similar! I’m a size 10 and ordered L in all of them! Linking if you like them!

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife

Getting back on track after vacation….sure didn’t eat enough protein! So my Nurri Protein Drink is on deck!!

#LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Sharing this new swimsuit cover-up that I’m keeping!
Lightweight, easy to throw on, and perfect for pool or beach days. Size M

#LTKOver40 #LTKSwim #LTKTravel

My simple skincare routine at 45.
These products help me stretch my Botox appointments to about every 6 months.

Everything linked in my Walmart storefront.

#walmartcreator

Ordered this swimsuit to try but it’s going back for me.
Still linking it here in case the style works better for someone else! It’s a M. I just like a higher bust area.

#LTKOver40 #LTKSwim #LTKmomlife

Tried a few swimsuits and this one is the keeper.
Great fit, super flattering, and actually comfortable.
Sharing it here in case anyone else is swimsuit shopping. I’m a 36D but this is actually a small. I tried all the sizes but I like how tight it is on my chest.

#LTKSwim #LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal

Apparently you hit 45 and suddenly care about skincare.

Teenagers sleep until noon, so now I finally have time to take care of my skin.

Here’s the simple routine I’ve been using lately.
Thayers Milky Toner, RIC Vitamin C Serum, L’Oréal Eye Revitalift, Oli Of Olay Moisturizer

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare

POV: Who recommended 10,000 steps AND a weighted vest to a perimenopausal 45 year old. I just want to talk. 😂

If you’re in midlife and living on iced coffee… try adding Nuri protein with Chobani creamer. It tastes good and actually gives you protein instead of just caffeine.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKvlog

Please tell me I’m not the only Gen X still wearing these 😂Puma no show socks from Costco are still hot!

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife

Midlife but make it 22.

No one tells you that midlife isn’t just about the kids changing… it’s about you changing too.

So I’m rebuilding. With coffee, creatine, and occasional naps.

Anyone else in their identity reconstruction era?

I ran the rack….🙃wearing my favorite workout shoe from Lululemon! This is my second pair of the Blissful shoe from Lululemon and I wear a size 9. I am normally a 8.5 but I enjoy the 9.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKOver40 #LTKActive

Apparently this is who I am now.
Perimenopause edition.

After way too many Amazon try-ons… this is the black tankini I’m actually packing for my cruise. Size M and I’m a 38 D.

Flattering wrap-style top, adjustable straps, good bust support, and high-waisted bottoms that feel secure without squeezing. Mom-friendly, midlife-friendly, and beach-day approved.

Another Amazon swimsuit I ordered for our cruise 🌊
This one is a tankini with shorts — cute concept, but the fit just wasn’t right for me. Im wearing a size M and have a 38 bust. I’m sharing it anyway in case the style works better for you! I’m 5’1” for reference.
Cruise swimsuit hunt continues

#LTKTravel #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

They film reunions for three hours.
I worked out once and needed a nap.

Midlife stamina is… different.

#LTKselfcare #LTKHome #LTKfitnessgoals

Bought the Old Navy Wow Barrel jeans. Braced for teenage judgment.
Got a “Mom, those actually look good.”
I’m now legally allowed to wear these for 72 hours straighT😂

#LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife #LTKootd

Midlife Swimwear Try-On (Real Talk) I ordered this thinking it was giving “cool beach mom.”
My son said it was giving “60.”
I’m going on a cruise soon and need something to wear!!! Stay tuned I have more for you midlife perimenopause friends!!

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKmomlife

I don’t work out for abs.
I work out so I don’t lose my mind at 3pm.

If @Nike is looking for a 45-year-old mom of teens who hits 10k steps and spirals confidently… I’m available.

🔗 Linked in LTK for my midlife athletes.

So if you feel strange in your mid 40s go get all your hormones tested… Working out during perimenopause is such a pain! I have zero testosterone or progesterone so my love for lifting is gone…. I have to make myself workout! Ugh midlife

Not trendy just regulating my nervous system! Grab one In my LTK:)

At 45, muscle matters more than skinny.
Perimenopause changes everything — especially how we protect our muscle. Nurri Protein is non-negotiable in this house!

#LTKmomlife #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

I used to second-guess every trend.
Then I wore the jeans from Old Navy…. For $20
My teen said “they’re actually cool.”

Maybe it’s not about age. Maybe it’s about owning it.

#LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife #LTKootd

These are Amazon swimsuits I actually felt comfortable in.
Real try-on, real body, no overthinking it. Size M in all 3. Even though I’m a 38D and size 10 I think I need to try a small for my top to be tighter. The brands are ZRTAK and Aleumdr Women’s 2026 Swimsuit

#LTKmomlife #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

Thrifted outfit and I’ve got my usual Time and Tru sandals on.
First time shopping Goodwill — didn’t expect this. Calvin Klein Shorts and Tahari linen shirt! What?!

#LTKmomlife #LTKOver40 #LTKdayinmylife

My go to slide! Walmart’s Time and Tru sandal! 🩴 I’ve had over 3 yrs… or maybe 2. You know where I link them:)

#walmartpartner @walmartcreator

Trying to find summer clothes that actually work. These Time and Tru shirts in the 4in inseam are on sale for $8!! I bought them at the store for $12. I bought a 12. In the video I’m wearing a 10.
