Nada Jones @nadajones and the @thisislibertyroad team have built a thriving landing place to question, investigate, reflect, muse, explore, challenge, provoke and most of all inspire us to dive deep and get juicy about who we are and what we want as we embrace the midlife experience. And their first event Redefining The Middle Third was nothing short of spectacular. The women who showed up, the guests who spoke, shared, opened and encouraged us to ask ourselves, what do we want and need and how are we going to get it - were stellar. Thank you for having us - along with a select group of brands built to support us during this incredible time of life. An unforgettable day. We can’t wait for Liberty Road’s “After School” membership that, no doubt, will be as impactful as this day was, only on a monthly basis and delivered to your in-box. @faithblakeney @rachel.hughes.midlife @goodbyecroptop @emma.whittard @apriluchitel @amyswiftcrosby @celesteliversidge @drpamking @janmccarthy @staceylindsay @michele_canon_fit @eliseloehnen @melissasymington And so fun to meet so many of you IRL - hi @theflexibleneurotic !

RELIEVE, REPAIR, REBALANCE, RENEW. That what this stunning new powerhouse cream is all about. Super proud of this founder, Pete White, for creating a purpose driven solution for atopic skin conditions. But really it’s so much more and has become our family go-to for healing of all kinds. Think redness, bites, dry patches. I get some weird redness around my nose - I never bothered to get it diagnosed but it’s prob a bit of eczema which runs in my family. I put this on, around the corners of my nostrils and it literally disappears within no time. I go back and look and it’s gone. I love that it’s free of steroids and chemicals and formulated from herbs. A+. I feel like it’s the do all everything that you simply must have on hand. Sort of the way I keep Calendula and when my kid has a rash I just shout “get The Cream!” Welp, Herbitual™️ has now become “The Cream!” More deets: Herbitual™ Atopic Skin Defense™, is an intensely moisturizing skin protectant cream, fortified with our proprietary blend of ancient botanicals and FDA recognized skin science. Our formula helps soothe and relieve the symptoms of atopic skin conditions, while protecting and fortifying the skin barrier - promoting relief, repair, rebalance and renewal. Herbitual™ products are free from steroids and harsh chemicals and gentle enough to use on the most sensitive skin. Apply to problem areas as needed, or use Atopic Skin Defense™ as your daily moisturizing ritual.

I can’t wait to share about @cultivateapothecary - true ‘farm to skin’ luxury botanical skincare. When it comes to organic clean beauty - this is the motherlode. Thoughtfully and soulfully crafted and created by Jill Rowe and Matthew Benson on their - epic, stunning, can I move in? - farm in upstate NY, @stonegatefarmny - from medicinal and culinary herbs and all organic and sustainable, with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides in practice. Each bespoke formula takes months to complete - from seed to cultivation, harvest, and creation. The essence of slow beauty and ritual in every bottle. Even the soil at Stonegate is regularly replenished with local compost, minerals and low-impact cultivation. I have never smelled anything like what is in these bottles (also works of art). We celebrated Cultivate Apothecary today with women who share the same ethos that life’s work simply must be imbued with passion, purpose - heart driven. And chef @jessica__monty, delivered the same - with a farm to table lunch prepared with equal attention to seasonal ingredients and mama earth. Every bite was savored, exploding with heavenly layers of flavor fresh from her garden. Just wow. So grateful to have met Jill, and I’ll be featuring all the details of their full line on the blog next week. Thank you beautiful ladies @apriluchitel @kerrileeross @kelly.atterton the most lovely @michellemonaghan and @prettyripe 💋💋💋@blackonblack @loriastern #cleanbeauty #skincare #greenbeauty #naturalskincare #beauty #crueltyfree #organicskincare #healthyskin #natural #glowingskin #cleanskincare#nontoxicbeauty #skincaretips #crueltyfreebeauty #plantbased #cultivateapothecary

The @wisepause Wellness was incredible. As an exhibitor we were privy to what felt like a grad course in all things menopause. A brilliant program of talks covering everything from A-Z pitch perfectly hosted by the effervescent @michaelapereira It was thrilling to be able to share - in real life one on talks with women who stopped by our table - our mission of how functional mushrooms and adaptogens can play a vital role in the peri/meno support toolkit. And even yummier when in a delish yummy gummy. We shared our purpose to educate and support women with so many incredible brands! And so fun to finally meet IRL Julie from @mymenowell and Lorrie from @caire_beauty (we are doing an IG live this Wed! more on that later!) and the best protein powders -so great meeting @xojacquiproducts I wish I could tag every speaker and doctor who shared their vast knowledge here - but omg too many to list! All enlightening. Love this little blip of a clip of @askdrsuzanne in the moment she shared the @nytimes piece on menopause in the workplace with a massive photo of our dearest, @celiawchen! I think I let out a scream of joy. Thank you to @deniselpines and Ginger for putting this mammoth summit together. It was perfection. and also to @chelsjaywags to getting up at crack of dawn on a Sat and supporting us!!

So in 2007 during the last writer’s strike, my writing partner @chelsjaywags (we wrote, directed, produced and edited together) had already been working on a comedy series that we put up on the then *new* platform YouTube. No one understood what we were doing. “What do you mean a short form comedy series on a computer?? That makes no sense. Will never take off!” We kept at it. I think we made 26 episodes about a young couple, who got preggo on a single @jdate and had nothing in common. Just a terrible match, who tried to make a go at it. This episode co-starring the fantastic Dan Butler was a couples therapy session gone haywire. @iandeitchman found us and added us to something called Strike Tv. The first platform of its kind. These were the early content days. Everything was new and exciting and we were so driven on our mission to create short form serialized episodes for this new thing called @youtube. The fantastic @shaneedelman played Marty. Aria was The Baby. And a bunch of amazing co stars dropped in over the season. You can still find us there. Maybe we have 50 views by now? #comedy #comedicactress #youtube #danbutler

So many of you asked about the Vivace Ultra RF Microneedling I experienced a couple of weeks ago with Christie Kidd, PA-C. Vivace Ultra combines traditional microneedling and uniform radio frequency with ultrasound visualization and photomapping to create personalized treatments for each patient. In honor of “The Spiel” from the early GLA days (see previous post) - Christie is going to give us the spiel about it all— and some clips of the process - in this slider (ripped straight from my phone - no lamps, lights, sexy edits, soft focus filters and no swanky soundtrack. This is what a REAL chat in a real office looks like prior to a real treatment. No influencer camera boy in tow- brass tacks raw and unfiltered only here). There was no way I could get this all into a 90 second reel, so this IG slider hack gets all the video info out in one post! 💡💡 I want you to hear Christie’s very simple analogy about dermis structure. I was rapt as she used a metaphor of cake and icing and any science explained through baked goods works for me. 🍰🍰🍰 Also you’ll see why I would choose Vivace Ulta over the others. And lastly, there are several practitioners in town. Christie is top tier. That level of wisdom and expertise that comes from years or being in practice. #respect For the full article and science - you can head to @vivaceexperience or even my feature on Groomed LA. *I have a feeling so many peeps DM’d me about Vivace Ultra after I posted original stories is because of this: everyone is so confused when it comes to these devices and treatments. The industry sells us this new device and that treatment, all with high promise (and price tags) and equally high disappointment. People want to know what the heck to spend their money on and ‘will it make a difference’. #beverlyhillsderm #rodeoderm #skincare #radiofrequency #groomedla #christiekidd

My kid found this on @youtube 12 YEARS AGO 😂. Pre Instagram, pre TikTok and all the things. Thought 60 second vid hits was the way to go. Prob had 5 views. The prob with early adapters 🙋‍♀️is that by the time tech and media catch up - I’m over it. Case in point search “Motherhoodlum” 2007. We (@chelsjaywags my bril bestie, sis in law and sometimes writing partner) created an entire 2 season comedy series on YouTube. Then fresh out of the gate. I wanted to make a comedy series quick dirty and cheap. She shot it while simultaneously pushing @ariadreis in a stroller in the other hand. We got incredible talent to join in. Got a pilot deal and wrote the pilot. But most of all people thought we were on to something but also nuts. “NO ONE WILL EVER WATCH ANYTHING ON A COMPUTER!!” We had meetings with all the heavy hitters who were intrigued but thought the internet wouldn’t take off. LOLZ. This also happened when @delpy.julie and I pitched our tv shows and execs were horrified at the thought of “a single camera comedy tv show?!!!” They could not wrap head around it (in the early days of 3 cam staged comedies). Suffice to say…timing is everything. Thrilled @takemicropause was not launched back when the idea arose in 2018 because people could not wrap head around Menopasue AT ALL!
