What Even Is a Mid-Life Crisis?
About a week ago, my husband asked me a seemingly innocent question. What did you dream about doing when you were a kid? To my surprise, I became pretty emotional. I began to feel a rush of sorrow. Prior to this, I had been having a completely normal day. I wasn't sad, I wasn't upset. I was just running errands, making sure my son was doing his homework, figuring out what we should make for dinner, that sort of thing. That question hit me like a shot in the heart. I didn't ev

Recommended Sale Items!
I love good products, but I really like when I can get a deal on them! I added a recommended items on sale list on my homepage that I will update when I see that any of my favorite products are on sale! I hope this helps all of us save a little bit of money, and make our self-care rituals a little more attainable. I will only include items that I TRULY recommend. If it was just ok, or not a favorite, I will NEVER recommend or promote it, even if someone tries to pay me! If yo

No, We Won't Use AI
So Age & Beauty is old school. That may not come as a surprise given the name, but I don’t, and won’t use any AI for my content.

We can never have original thoughts if we don’t exercise our brains! We must have moments of reflection to continue being creative and thoughtful. I will continue to produce writing and articles and blogs, fully from m

A Reflection on Mother's Day
I, like so many mother's, have dedicated enormous amounts of time and energy to my child. Of course I had visions, or maybe they were more like ideas, about my child's future. Even though my child is a teen and not yet an adult, I can tell that things will be different than I thought. As mother's we so often have expectations of our children, and then beat ourselves up over it if they don't do as well as we had hoped. What I am coming to realize as my child gets older, is tha

Age & Beauty
In my younger years I LOVED experimenting with new eyeshadow looks, or lip colors. As I entered my 30's I was struggling with what I thought was appropriate for me as an actual adult with a child, husband and responsibilities. Then as I approached my 40's, I had the lovely addition of VERY noticeable changes. My already sensitive, dry and rosacea prone skin was suddenly unhappy with EVERYTHING. I had no idea what to do with my skincare, foundation, eyeliner.... nothing seemed
