Neutrals never go out of style. This soft sweater with white wide-leg pants is polished, comfortable, and easy to dress up or down with a few classic accessories. A great look for late summer into early fall.

If you are struggling with makeup over 40, this blush hack is a gamer changer!

If you are a woman over 40 with dry and mature skin, cream blush is your best friend! It melts into our skin going you a lovely natural flush and is so flattering.

Powder blush can sit on top of your skin and can make emphasize dry skin and make it look flat!

My top tip for applying blush is to remember what I call the 3 finger rule!
Place 3 fingers next to your nose and do not apply any blush there.

Apply blush in an upward motion and blend out! Do you see how it visually lifts your entire face? Such an easy tip!

Give it a try and let me know how it goes ❤️

Everyone keeps saying, “All the good stuff is already sold out…” 🤍

Not even close.

I’ve been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for years, and some of my absolute favorite finds are still in stock. From beauty staples I buy every year to wardrobe essentials I actually wear, these are the pieces I genuinely recommend.

Swipe through to see what’s still worth grabbing before it’s gone. Trust me…these are the items I wouldn’t wait on.

#NordstromAnniversarySale #NSale #BeautyOver50 #MatureStyle #NordstromFinds

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKSaleAlert

If you’re traveling this fall, these are the pieces I’d pack every single time.

A dress that works from sightseeing to dinner. A lightweight windbreaker that’s ready when the weather changes. The most comfortable ballet flats that look polished but feel like sneakers. And a purse that lays flat in your suitcase, then converts into a backpack when you need to be hands-free.

I’m all about buying pieces that work harder, so you can pack lighter and still feel put together. These are the kind of wardrobe staples you’ll reach for long after your trip is over.

Which piece would you wear the most?

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

Finding the perfect nude pink lip is one thing… finding a gloss that actually stays put is another.

I’ve been wearing this combo on repeat because it gives that soft, glossy finish without constantly disappearing. It feels comfortable, doesn’t get goopy, and leaves my lips looking fresh instead of dry.

If you’ve stopped wearing gloss because it never lasts, this combo might change your mind.

Would you wear a nude pink lip every day, or are you more of a bold lip girl? 💕

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Simple, chic, and perfect for date night. 🖤 A cozy knit paired with faux leather shorts and timeless accessories creates an elevated look that’s comfortable without sacrificing style.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

The perfect outfit for those in-between weather days. 🍂 A lightweight jacket, classic black dress, and rich cognac accessories create an easy look you’ll wear from day to dinner.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

One of my favorite ways to ease into fall—lightweight knits paired with a flowy midi skirt. Add woven flats and a few simple accessories for an effortless outfit you can wear now and later.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

The pieces you’ll reach for on repeat this season 🤎 From lightweight knits and easy layers to versatile bottoms, these are the staples that make getting dressed so much easier. Everything mixes and matches for effortless fall outfits.

If you’re trying to be smart about what you buy during the #NSALE, these are the 5 things I’d actually spend my money on.

As a 52-year-old makeup artist, I’m all about buying products I’ll use over and over—not just because they’re on sale. These are the items I reach for, recommend, and know are worth adding to your cart while the prices are at their best.

Which one are you grabbing first? Let me know below, and if you’ve found a hidden gem in the sale, I want to hear about it!

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKSaleAlert

As a 52-year-old makeup artist and empty nester, I’m shopping a little differently these days. I want pieces that earn their place in my closet and beauty routine, not impulse buys that collect dust.

I’ve learned that buying less—but buying better—is always the goal. These are the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds that truly make the cut for mature skin, an elevated wardrobe, and life in my empty-nester era. If it’s on this list, I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. 🤍

These are my absolute favorite finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale—the beauty products I swear by, wardrobe staples I’ll wear all fall, and a few investment pieces that are genuinely worth grabbing while they’re on sale.

If you’ve been wondering what’s actually worth buying, start with these.

A little slice of the Eastern Shore. 🌊

Weekend snaps from one of my favorite places… a stay at the Tilghman Island Inn, fresh seafood at the Crab Claw, sunset drinks at the Yard Dive Club, and the kind of slow weekend that fills your cup.

Wearing a few favorites I reached for all weekend:
✨ Ciele SkinTone
✨ Solei flip-flops
✨ Quince linen shirt

Proof that the best weekends don’t need a packed itinerary—just good views, good food, and a few pieces you love to wear on repeat.

Have you been to Tilghman Island? It’s one of my favorite Maryland escapes.

Bronzer should make mature skin look like you spent the weekend in the sun—not like you carved out new cheekbones.

The biggest mistake I see? Applying bronzer like a contour. Instead, think warmth first. Sweep it where the sun naturally hits: the tops of your cheeks, temples, forehead, and a touch across the bridge of your nose. The result is softer, fresher, and so much more flattering over 40.

Sun-kissed > sculpted. Every time. ☀️✨

Save this for your next makeup routine if you’ve ever wondered why your bronzer looks harsh instead of natural.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Blue stripes, crisp white denim, and beach-day accessories… this is the effortless summer outfit I’ll be reaching for on repeat. I paired it with my favorite oversized tote, chic sunglasses, comfy sandals, SPF essentials, and a glossy lip for an easy look that’s perfect for vacations, pool days, errands, or lunch by the water.

When it comes to skincare after 40, you don’t need a 12-step routine—you need products that actually work. I built a complete routine with some of my favorite tried-and-true picks to hydrate, strengthen your skin barrier, and give your skin that healthy glow.

These are the products I’d spend my own money on, especially while they’re on sale.
