My weighted vest has been essential in my perimenopausal journey! I walk in mine for 45 minutes every day. Sometimes I break it up, sometimes I do it in one walk but either way, got to get that 45 minutes in daily! I recommend starting at 8 lbs then working your way up, but that also depends on your weight!

Here are some of my perimenopausal daily must haves! Glycolic, VEST, readers, hypochlorous acid, and outfit are also linked below!
Hi! I’m Anna. A perimenopausal, 49 year old empty nester. These are things I use almost daily and can’t live without.  

I had pH issues as a teen and when my mama steered me to dove, never again, 30+ years later. This is the only cleanser that comes near my lady parts. Maybe you’re not unhygienic. Maybe you’re just not using dove. 

La Mer. expensive but I’ve used it every single day for 15 years. It is the ONLY thing that keeps my eye eczema in check, plumps my skin, and seals in everything I do. If there’s another just like it, go ahead, but I am not fixing what’s not broken. The perfect pair with tretinoin because the ferment in La Mer counteracts the inflammation, redness and peeling from retinol. 

The best ice roller ever. It stays cold for hours and addresses puffiness, acne, fits in every crevice and slows premature aging. Plus it feels SO good. 

10/10, no notes. I stock up on this lotion. Leaves my body (and heels) glowing. 

Speaking of heels, I promise you. You will not experience the cracked heels your grandmother had. If you’re already there, this WILL reverse it within a week.  

A fancy robe that makes me feel like Queen Claire Huxtable, but make it boho. This gets more relaxed and soft with every wash. 

used to loathe underwear until I realized I just had the wrong ones. I tested multiple pairs in my underwear challenge. You don’t feel them and they leave minimal panty lines. I don’t care if they’re granny.  I don’t wanna wear anything else. 

peel. I like a mask too but this doesn’t leave weird creases- those over 40 know what I mean! Seals in my skincare overnight for glass skin in the morning. 

tumbler. The less parts, the less opportunity for mold.  This is simple, not a trend, and easy to clean. 

weighted vest will improve posture, balance, build bone density and muscle, while helping us to burn more calories.  This is a 13 lb but start with 8 or 5-10% of your body weight. 

blue light blocking readers are so good, Rob stole them, stretched them, then bought his own, which I stole.

Hypochlorous acid cleans everything! Face, vest, roller

My natural deodorant journey has been a longgggg fight but I finally found a routine that works for me! The Ordinary Glycolic acid + the Donna Karan aluminum free deodorant remains king! Don’t use the glycolic acid right after shaving and make sure to wear sunscreen, the acid makes skin more sensitive. 

#LTKStyleTip #LTKActive #LTKOver40
Instead of wasting my cleanser I use my hypochlorous spray to clean my face in the morning then follow it with my sunscreen! Then I’m ready to workout and walk outside!

I love Fit with Coco is my fave gal for Pilates! I also linked this Spanx workout set and yoga mat!

For cleaning down there, I first use a washcloth and Dove, then rinse. Then I use this African net sponge! 
No, this is NOT a loofah. This doesn’t absorb moisture but still creates a great lather even with the tiny amount of soap. You have to make sure you get the authentic one with the tiny knots. Those knots exfoliate your skin SO well!
