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!

Evening outfit formula for when the temp is up and down. When you don’t know what to wear, all black or monochrome works all year round! Here’s the formula:
1. Halter or any top that makes you feel great:)
2. Pants in a fun shape or texture (choose barrel or wide leg or slouchy or pleated for interest and go with linen, faux leather, suede, or studded for texture)
3. Add a wrap- I linked so many beautiful and affordable options!
4. Statement earrings and bracelet
5. If you have these shoes all of your problems will be solved 😂 but for real- they are high for your longest pants and just so happen to be super comfy. They come in different colors and a block heel too, and I just discovered a platform for us shorties!
6. A bag that matches a color in your wrap.

This formula wins every time!

For the softest skin, 1. I do my initial cleanse with dove bar soap and a washcloth, 2. double cleanse with African net sponge (ONLY GET THE AUTHENTIC ONE, it has little exfoliating knots. Remember to prewash it in boiling hot water before your first use) 3. Glycolic every day or night after shower on my heels and everywhere else. 4. Kiehls crème de corps lotion

Also linked the glycolic, lotion, bronzing stick, and lip color :)

What to wear for evening event, pants for evening event, oversized scarf, over 50 outfits, over 40 outfits, over 40 influencers, over 50 influencers, midlife style, best heels for every outfit.

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!

Sephora Savings is happening now! Save on your makeup faves now! 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 didn't even realize this was a designer ($18,000) look for less. I just liked that it's a watch that looks like jewelry😍

So much of my skincare and makeup is on sale on Sephora!! 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.
