Welcome to Unfiltered AF: All the Things
Nobody warned us about this part. Not just the chin hair, or the skin that can't decide if it's dry, oily, or personally offended. I'm talking about the whole damn thing - the midlife freakout that sneaks in while we're busy holding everything else together.
The weird moods. The "Is this anxiety or just hormones?" mornings. The brain fog that makes you forget why you walked into a room. And don't even get me started on the beauty industry still pushing 22-year olds as the gold standard.
If you've ever thought:
WTF is going on with my face?!?
Why do I cry at Subaru commercials? (Are they really sad or am I just emotionally defective now)?
Did I always hate everyone this much? Or is this new?
Why can't I remember basic words....like 'microwave'?
Then congrats - you're my people.
This blog is for women who've had enough. Enough of the pressure to "age gracefully." Enough of the overpriced miracle creams. Enough advice that sounds like it was written by someone who's never survived a perimenopausal Monday.
Here, we do things differently:
We talk skin, yes - and how to actually care for it without needing a PhD or a $500 cart. We focus in on the specific issues women AF (after fifty) deal with.
But we also talk life - the identity shifts, the quiet rage, the crying into your closed fists in your bathroom moments.
We call out bullshit - from influencer culture to wellness trends that forgot what real women actually deal with.
This is Unfiltered AF.
No glow-up nonsense. No patronizing "you've still got it!" energy. Just truth bombs, real solutions, and a whole lot of "same, girl. SAME."
So if you've felt alone or unheard in the middle of your own midlife rollercoaster - welcome home. We're so happy you're here.
