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!

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!

This is my "airplane" bag!
It's really a makeup bag:) pulling my personal item out from under the seat multiple times is annoying so I take this out & keep it w/ me the whole flight- the makeup compartments organize everything!

#LTKTravel #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

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

#LTKootd #LTKOver40

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

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

#LTKootd #LTKWedding #LTKOver40

Every night for 15 years and going strong- I love my Crème de La Mer Moisturizing Cream, I started using it for my irritated skin and haven’t looked back! As the final step in my nighttime routine, I’m convinced it’s saved my skin!

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

Got progressive readers and now I can’t go back! Coco was Cocoing today!

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😍

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.

HOW DID THEY LOWER THE PRICE of the iconic CC+ cream AND the Confidence in a Cream? Get it at Ulta! #over50makeup

#LTKselfcare #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

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!

#LTKTall

Progressives. You can call me grandpa Anna now but these are so cute I preemptively got Rob some since I know he'll steal them.

#LTKOver40

For my AirEssentials fans @Spanx has new colors, textures, and silhouettes! I’m wearing the French Rib, it’s the same 4-way stretch, soft material, high-waist, drawstring and comes in other colors! I love the shawl collar and matching pants, I have these pants in other colors and they are perfect for travel! I love the OnForm workout wear, perfect for low impact, love the new color petal blue! I’m wearing small, regular length (I’m 5’4) in all styles!

This is the right way to apply La Mer moisturizing cream! It’s pricey but it works. 16 years - it preserved my skin and it’s the only thing that healed my eye eczema.

#LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

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.

My makeup routine for when you want to look fresh and put together!

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.
