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 almost 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.
I’m not a beauty expert. I don’t have makeup tutorials or professional tips. What I do have is honesty, humor, and a whole lot of heart. I test products as a woman with zero training and a ton of feelings — and I show up anyway.
This space is where I share:
My skincare and movement routines
My weight loss and strength journey
What it means to feel beautiful without needing to look perfect
I’m not chasing perfection — I’m building strength, softness, and self-compassion. Less sun damage, more self-acceptance. And maybe a little bronzer along the way.
Because I’m not just aging. I’m becoming.
