Teen boy hair trends change faster than mine ever did 🤣 Whether you're doing his hair for him or teaching him how to do it himself... this is the era where texture is everything. I’ve got the essentials covered in my TikTok shop! • Straight, fine hair? The alligator-nose flat iron = instant bend + movement • Natural texture but needs volume? A root texturizing powder is absolute money! Because the right tools = less product, less frustration, and way better results. We definitely have done *allll* the trial and error. #boyhairstyle #Boymom #promua #hairtutorial #teenhairtutorial

Masking based on your skin needs, not trends This matchmaking mask book by @Karuna Skin lets me treat multiple concerns based on my needs because skin has its good and bad days but it always needs love ❤️ #skincaretok #over40skincare #matureskin #maskingroutine #multimasking

My most asked question is always: “What have you done to change your appearance?” So here it is — buckle up, Buttercup 🤍 First things first: Weight loss was the most dramatic change. I lost over 100 pounds over 16 years… slowly, organically, one plateau at a time. (And I could insert in the opportunity to sell you a supplement or program but I won’t bc that’s not what I did. Truly calorie counting and movement was my answer. And time.) That part came first. Diet, movement, consistency, patience. Everything else came after the weight was gone. From 29 to 43, here’s the full picture: • Lost 100+ pounds over 15–16 years • Began lifting heavy weights • Invested in skincare + treatments like lasers & microneedling (late 30s) • Mommy makeover (lift, augmentation, tummy tuck at 38) • Veneers • Fillers (lips, chin, temples — no longer part of my routine) • Biostimulators & Botox • Lateral brow lift, upper blepharoplasty & rhinoplasty (all after 40) I became a professional makeup artist so I could see {firsthand} what actually works. And here’s the truth most people don’t say out loud: There’s a big difference between what we’re told celebrities do… and what they actually do. Glow-up or full-blown renovation? Who’s to say 😂 But if you appreciate transparency, beauty, and aesthetic real talk, you’re going to love it here. #over40mom #transformation #weightloss

Everything 🔗at my LTK! @shop.melissa shoes might be the most underrated comfort shoe brand out there—because tell me why every pair is walk-all-day comfortable regardless of heel height. I lived in the platforms all summer, and I already know these loafers are about to become my go-to work shoe. Also… content creation with a teen girl at home? Not for the faint of heart 😅 Vintage pants from @iamclothesminded_vintage #over40mom #ltkstyletip #shoecheck

I used to think if I couldn’t do it perfectly, it wasn’t worth doing at all. I chased quick fixes, detoxes, extremes—then beat myself up when they didn’t work. Every time I failed, I gained more weight and lost more confidence. At 29, {my before pic} I finally realized… perfection was the problem. I gave myself permission to take all of my 30s to build the body I dreamed of—slowly, steadily, without quitting. No more crash diets. No more “starting over Monday.” Just showing up, even if it was only for 10 minutes. Counting calories, not cutting food groups. Letting consistency—not intensity—lead the way. It honored my natural personality type that bucked rigidity and embraced my day by day spirit. And guess what? That version of me who stopped chasing perfection? She got stronger, leaner, and more confident than I ever thought possible. And yes, I rewarded myself with a mommy makeover when I hit my goal—not because I had to, but because I wanted to. If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing mindset, follow me. I’ve been there, and I can promise you this: slow and steady doesn’t just win the race—it changes your life. 💪✨And I will be with you to cheer you on. You deserve your glow up. #BodyTransformation #ConsistencyOverPerfection #MommyMakeoverJourney #fitnessafter40 #glowupafter40
