Is there something you DO —  that brings you immense joy, exhilaration, and energy? ☀️ I’ll bet there is. Even if it’s something you don’t do as frequently as you’d like. My hunch is that there’s SOMETHING that, whenever you do it, seems to magically unlock greater strength, power, synchronicity, clarity, creativity, and… YOU-NESS in this world. 🌎 That’s because there is SO MUCH WISDOM inherently in YOU.💗 What lights you up? A rich and abundant life lies ahead of you, and you have all the time in the world. Have faith and trust in that, because it’s coming. ✨ #dailyreminder #knowyourworth #mindfulliving #reset #refocus #selfempowerment #strongwomen #dailyquote #keepgoing #nevergiveup #womeninspiringwomen #healthandwellness #womeninbusiness #selflove #personaldevelopment #midlifeblogger #midlifecoach #midlifejourney #midlifer #pursueyourpassion #womenover40 #womenover50 #womenempowerment #theglowwellness

It is actually responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. But here's the kicker: Nearly 75% of us are running low on this essential nutrient without even realizing it! 🫨 Magnesium deficiency can manifest in various symptoms.

Without it, we can experience many health challenges, ranging from hormonal imbalances to poor-quality sleep.

Women, in general, struggle to believe in ourselves. We have been conditioned to fear measuring up, are prone to comparison, and of fitting into boxes to be “liked”. Believe in your inner knowing. Believe that you can t a k e . u p . s p a c e. Remember, you’re not obligated to remain the same person. You don’t need permission to grow, pivot and evolve. You are up to you. You are allowed to change your mind. You are allowed to explore and to change. 💗 #bebravebeyou #lifeat48#ownyourlife #midlifesuccess #selflove #midlifeinspiration #yourstorymatters #successfulwomen #bebrave #ownyourpower #midlifejourney #focusonyourself #personalgrowth #womenempowerment #selfimprovement #womenover40 #womenover50 #femaleboss #womenwhohustle #dailyinspiration #womensupportingwomen #midlifewomen #midlife #agepositive #theglowwellness

We all know beauty products for women over 45 aren’t the same as the stuff the teens are using. It must be potent and EFFECTIVE. SO I’M SHARING THE BEST OF THE BEST, ALL MY FAV PRODUCTS FOR WOMEN OVER 45+. ✨ There’s no gatekeeping here ❌ You get to benefit from my beauty closet graveyards and the thousands of dollars I have spent on trying out different products. And it’s worth saying, this isn’t sponsored in any way. I’m just sharing what I LOVE and what WORKS to help you navigate and discover the best products to obtain healthy, glow-from-within skin. 💫 MY SKIN NON-NEGOTIABLES 1. CLEANSER Truth be told most facial cleansers are underwhelming. This one blows every other product on the market away, It’s @traciemartyn Amla cleanser. 2. TONER Usually known for stripping the skin (NOT what you want), ESPECIALLY as we age! INSTEAD, you want to look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, glycerin, polyphenols, and ingredients that are anti-inflammatory/calming. My pick is @capbeautydaily Serotoner, a spray-on vitamin “cocktail”. 3. VITAMIN C The #1 in my skincare routine as it improves tone and texture as we age. The antioxidants can brighten, hydrate, prevent UV damage, block hyperpigmentation, maintain the integrity of collagen and elastic fibers, and even encourage collagen creation. @ysebeauty Morning cocktail is my pick. YSE was generous enough to offer 10% off all products. Use code glow10. 4. RETINOL I use a Tretinoin from my derm, the lowest strength, 2-3 nights a week. This is the best way to get this, as it’s super cheap to fill at your pharmacy, yet effective. My tip: don’t use a moisturizer over it, you want that skin resurfacing. 5. AHA RESURFACER to resurface gently and bring out the glow. There are tons of these on the market but the best is @farmacybeauty Honeymoon Glow. 6. MOISTURIZER! THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON THIS ONE. I use a thick night cream and daytime cream, but I still haven’t found any that I LOVE (give recommendations!). 7. EYE The skin around the eyes ages faster than the rest of your face. @versed eye balm is a game-changer for refreshed, hydrated under eyes. There you have it! Let’s get glowing! 💗

Are your hormonal symptoms normal for your age? 🤔 I created a quick check list for you to run through. ➡️ As one of a many women who are reinventing midlife, openly discussing menopause and refusing to become invisible, I feel proud to be playing a small part in ushering in a Meno-Positive movement. It’s about time… ⌛️ - For too long, menopause has been a side bar in the conversation around women’s health (if it’s talked about at all), leaving many people surprised by and unprepared for the challenges that come with this phase of life. I want to change that narrative… 🔎 - Instead of secrets and stigma, I am shining a spotlight on the topic, in the form of expert-advice, and stories that explore symptoms, bust myths, and offer tips on how to better navigate the journey. My experience… ❤️‍🩹 For me, my first symptoms in menopause were night sweats, trouble sleeping and irritability. Then came the irregular periods, heart tremors/palpitations, dry screen, increased anxiety. Remember, while these symptoms are common for each age group, everyone’s experience is different💗 #menopause #menopausematters #hormones #womenshealth #menopausesupport #womenover40 #womenover50 #pauselife #menopause101 #menopausechat #midlife #midlifewomen #middleagedwomen #healthandwellnesscoaching #perimenopause #menopausesymptoms #postmenopause #menopauseawareness #midlifewellness #hormonalhealth #womenempowerment #menopausejourney #radiantmidlife #navigatingmenopause #theglowwellness

I want to talk about amazing thing I finally embraced in my 40s… Being comfortable in my skin 🩷 I know I’ve mentioned this in the past in perhaps other ways, and maybe it seems like a minor thing, but feeling comfortable in my own skin (at 48) is so much more than SKIN DEEP. It represents a comfort level with myself, that I can embrace being fully me, and that I no longer care what people think of me. ✨ This also matches my true desire of more EASE in life. 🍃 The peace this represents, the freedom, is truly gold. We are the strongest, smartest, most powerful we have ever been in mid-life. 💪🏻 We’ve earned the privilege of knowing, and being, who we are FULLY. 🌟 #nofilter #skinlove #midlife #aging #freedom #over45 #skinfreedom #midlifejourney #midlifefreedom #nomakeup #inspiration #skinjourney #confidence #agingbeautifully #matureskin #agingskin #womenover45 #womenover50 #beautyandwellness #realskin #makeupfree #theglowwellness

Some of my tips & tricks to keep inflammation at bay. 💗 What can you do if you find yourself dealing with inflammation…?🤔 Inflammation affects everything! and there is a major link between inflammation and disease. So this is critically important as we age! You can take simple steps to reduce your inflammation.⬇️ I suggest talking with your doctor (a functional medicine doctor may be more receptive) to measure the inflammation in your body. The three most commonly used inflammatory markers are called C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and plasma viscosity (PV). There are also plenty of home tests available today. 🔎 Take your health into your own hands! ❤️‍🩹 FYI Inflammation is associated with MANY chronic conditions, like: - Autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis - Cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure and heart disease - Gastrointestinal disorders like inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis - Lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma - Mental illnesses, such as depression - Metabolic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes - Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease - Some cancers #inflammation #midlifediet #reducinginflammation #healthylifestyle #healthydiet #health #wellness #omega3s #holisticliving #guthealth #digestivehealth #holisticnutritionist #leakygut #cleaneating #foodasmedicine #antiinflammatory #herbs #antioxidants #healthytips #lifestylechange #antiinflammatorydiet #theglowwellness
