Body, Beauty + Becoming

aka: Growing up, glowing up, and showing up — with SPF this time. 

​

This body has been through it.
Addiction. Trauma. Illness. Aging. Insecurity.
Years of disordered eating and body shame.
I’ve lived it. Survived it. Worn it all.

​

And now, at 49, I’m learning to love this body anyway —
not because it’s flawless, but because it’s mine.
It’s carried me through things I never thought I’d survive —
and it’s still becoming.

​

This is where I share:

• Skincare routines that feel like self-respect

• Movement that reminds me what my body can do

• Beauty products that make me feel playful, not perfect

• Weight loss, GLP-1 talk, food noise - all without shame or judgement

 

I’m not a beauty expert.
No tutorials. No contour hacks. No pro tips.

I am completely unqualified to teach anyone about makeup. But I am the first person to admit it, and also the first to tell you I love all things beauty related. 

And even though I have no clue what I am doing with most products - I am going to figure it out, and I am going to share about it!

I am just a sooo human woman with zero beauty training, a ton of feelings, and a desire to live well, look well, and feel well — and share what that actually looks like.

 

If something works for me, I’ll tell you.
If it doesn’t? I’ll probably tell you that too.

 

Here, you'll find:

• My skincare, makeup + movement routines

• My weight loss + strength journey

• Honest reflections on what it means to feel beautiful without needing to look perfect

 

I’m building strength and self-compassion —
with less sun damage, more self-acceptance, and maybe a little bronzer and Botox along the way.

 

Because this pillar isn’t about arriving — it’s about becoming.
And I’m still a work in progress (and honestly, I hope I always will be).
Real looks good on me.
And becoming? That’s the most human and beautiful part of all.
