WELCOME TO GRAY IS GORGEOUS

I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE

Wherever you are in your midlife journey, whether you are interested in transitioning to gray or not, or whether you love makeup or it scares you, if you are interested in aging well, naturally and healthfully, 

— you’re in the right place.

Since you’re here right now, something tells me that you’re looking to make some changes and really want to embrace your ageless beauty, healthfully. . .

But perhaps:

  • You have no idea where to start when transitioning to safer products.
  • You need help understanding your changing hair, skincare, and makeup needs.
  • You feel a little isolated. You wish more people could relate to what you’re going through. Going gray is amazing, but not everyone is as accepting as we’d like.

No matter where you are in your journey you want to feel and look your best.

  • You want to look good without chasing youth.
  • You’re ready to enhance your natural beauty, healthfully, without toxic, harsh, or invasive treatments.
  • But you just don’t know how to make that a reality.

How do I Know? Because I have been there.

I have spent the past ten years figuring out how to live and age well beautifully, yet naturally with autoimmunity and want to pass on what I have learned, what I am currently researching, and what is working for me now as a way to help others navigate their own midlife journe

My mission is to help others age healthfully and confidently on their own terms. 

You can learn more about me here.

My goal with Gray is Gorgeous is to create a supportive community of like-minded women supporting one another on the midlife journey: through both the challenges and the joys.

I’d love for you to be part of this and experience the benefits.

You don’t have to do it alone.

On the blog:

you can expect to find informative posts about clean beauty, mature makeup tutorials,  non-toxic skincare solutions, healthy aging tips, including diet, fitness, and anti-inflammatory recipes, as well as some autoimmune specific content.

Our Favorite Anti-Inflammatory Banana Muffins

*About the recipes: I have discovered that I have gluten, nightshade, sugar, and dairy sensitivities. My daughter has an anaphylactic peanut allergy. I follow a specific diet that does not allow for traditional baked goods, but since so many individuals experience tremendous improvement from the removal of gluten and dairy from their diets, I have included a gluten-free baking section to include recipes we enjoy from time to time. I try to make these recipes dairy free as well or at least offer up dairy free substitutions when possible. I hope you will enjoy trying these recipes, as they are all family favorites.

🏥I had just been diagnosed with RA  and was making huge changes to my lifestyle as part of my treatment plan, which included ditching the dye in an effort to clean up my routine to limit toxin exposure. 🫧🌱

✂️I decided cutting it off would be a good way to start the process. I sure wish Instagram had been around back then. I definitely would have done a few things differently, but I have zero regrets. 

🌪️For anyone looking to embrace your gray/ grey (both are correct, by the way)- go for it. 💪🏻

I am here for you every step of the way.

🥰Cream blushes are my go-to choice because they are easy to apply, easy to correct if I apply too much, can double as lid and lip color, last longer than powder, and are hydrating (won’t dry me out or settle into fine lines.

😭I am still without meds though (my doctor called them in on Feb 13th), so I have no choice. This is what happens every time our insurance changes.
