Went to a black tie wedding and wore this dress- it’s LONGGGG so if you’re not tall you’ll need a hem! I got it last minute and I’m 5’4” and had to hold my dress like this the whole time 😂😂😂 also I am due to exchange the Chanel bag- I’m SO GLAD I did the rental because I’ve taken this bag to every single event I’ve been to the last month! LIP COLOR: 590 blushing berry. Liner: mocha mousse and brown caramel

I’m a 50 year old empty nester and I’m searching for all the joy I can find during perimenopause. Here are some (material) things that are giving me life at the moment! Anything not linked below is in my Amazon storefront!

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

Which is your favorite way to style them? (commisionable links) You know when your shorts disappear in the back? These have no waist gap, a little stretch, go higher up in the back of the waist and are slightly longer in back. If you have a butt or thicker thigh, they lay PERFECTLY. these are the curvy fit. I’m 5’4” and sized down. If you don’t get waist gap or don’t have a booty? Go with the regular fit and stay true to size.

Shorts that don’t ride up, shorts that aren’t too short, over 40 fashion, over 50 fashion, spring outfits, midlife style, midlife influencers, over 50 influencers, over 40 influencers, summer outfits, the best shorts, high waisted shorts

SIZING AND CODE BELOW: I always have a CODE For 1st time Spanx customers: ANNAGXSPANX (15% off excluding sale) 1. Straight 2. Barrel 3. Wide leg 4: Horseshoe. They are all TTS. I took a small and am 5’4” and reg length in all. They come XS-3X in petite, reg and tall. SO COMFORTABLE and cute!

Love my cakes! Tried stick-on covers. It did not go well for anyone involved. 😂These are seamless, non-sticky in the center (genius!) and the nips are marked safe from the skin ripping crimes. The non sticky ones are perfect for fitted shirts tanks and sport bras.

I found the perfect lip combo! Matte but smooth but kinda sheer but hydrating it’s PERFECT. reminds me of the Violette Bisou balm! But IT IS DRUGSTORE! L’Oreal!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I was trying to get that Nina Park lip but for old folks 😂 COLOR: 590 BLUSHING BERRY IN THE NEW BLURRED MATTE FORMULA. LINERS: BLURRED FILLER IN 535 BROWN CARAMEL & 565 MOCHA MOUSSE

Some beauty faves I think are worth the splurge!

Everything from this morning! Lip combo: Sephora liner desired chestnut, fenty gloss stick in fenty glow, fenty cream gloss in fenty glow

My skin routine for when I need my skin to look really good for an event or pictures! I also ice my skin after the lymphatic drainage- forgot to show that :) Does anyone else feel like after 40, you suddenly don’t know what you might look like when you wake up from day to day? I dont know what I’m gonna wake up to. 😂 This guarantees that even after a night of crying or lack of sleep I will feel good about my skin that day.

Order of usage below:

1. Cleanse
2. Exfoliate + clay mask
3. Hydrating Toner 1
4. Hydrating Toner 2
5. Lymphatic drainage (each move 15x)
6. Ice roller cryoball
7. (I use La Mer original moisturizer as my eye cream and pm all over. I put it on my eyes first for my eczema & to combat irritation from products)
8. Vitamin c
9. Lightweight Moisturizer (optional, depending on my skin that day)
10. Sunscreen

To make my makeup last all day:
1. Danessa Myricks blurring balm as a primer- just on my t zone and acne scarring on cheeks
2. Nars eyeshadow primer on lids and lower lashline, set with powder shadow
3. One size on til dawn setting spray.

Loving this dress for spring, great for Easter Sunday!

My Easter outfit! No one got to see it because I had to wear a winter coat over it 🙄

Makeup for mature skin that won’t cake! First I start with the NARS eyeshadow primer so makeup will last, then the Merit Minimalist stick for concealer, and foundation then the same stick in color ‘cacao’ for contour. The Patrick Ta Double-Take blush in ‘She’s Flushed’ then I set everything with the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Spray for a mattifying look. Follow with a little color powder to finish the look!

I know you are just dying to know what I got at Sally's. Just kidding😂
it's hair dye day. This is what I get
1/2 each of 4N and 5N Demi in ion color brilliance with 10 developer. No purple red undertones and not too black and doesn't leave a line of demarcation when growing out since it slowly fades at the root

If you’re looking for a cropped spring jacket this one will scratch that itch! Went tts, it’s very cropped with a drawstring to cinch at the waist. Might get one size bigger for a little oversized look.

It’s a makeup bag but I call it my “airplane bag”. Pouches organize my stuff for the flight: cords, wipes, glasses, electrolytes, sani, lip balm, hand cream, snacks… everything! They stopped making the Beis one but this is identical and half the price!

Some great moisturizers at different price points. My top of all time is the La Mer moisturizer. The Drunk Elephant is great for peptides, the Kiehl’s is a great classic, lightweight, hydrating moisturizer.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Some of my favorite retinols at different price points!

#LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Great acids at different price points! Use the Colleen Rothschild pads or the Shani Darden daily, The Ordinary glycolic acid for the body, The Ordinary BHA or Shani Darn triple acid peel for occasional use!

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Some of my favorite vitamin c serums at every price point!

#LTKOver40 #LTKTravel #LTKselfcare

My favorite sunscreens at different price points!

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare

We all love a good peel, mask or hydrating serum, but if you’re not consistent with vitamin c + sunscreen for AM, retinol PM and peptides, don’t even think about those. Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream has 9 peptides to support collagen and give my skin hydration and bounce. For nutrition, it’s 100g of protein and 30g of fiber. And for movement, 10k steps a day and Pilates w/ weights 3x a week. Consistency with a few things is key for me!

I love when you do random thungs and it ends up being so good!
I added leftover roasted cubed sweet potatoes and egg yolk to Maddie's patties and it's so good I'm gonna keep doing it. I've been premaking her patties (chicken, beef or turkey) for easy protein for breakfast or lunch.
Ground Beef or chicken or turkey, diced Onion, minced Garlic, S+p, desired Spices, a couple Egg yolks, chopped parsley, Cubed roasted sweet potatoes. Mix up to Form patties, cook, then freeze or they keep in fridge for a few days. Toss in pan to heat when you're ready!
