I’ve been taking OsteoMD for years, so I thought I’d share something that surprised me.

I recently had a bone density scan, and the technician asked what I was doing because my results looked more like someone in their 30s.

I can’t say what role this supplement played, but it’s been part of my daily routine for a long time, and I have no plans to stop.

Sometimes the little things we do consistently add up in ways we don’t see until much later.

Leave-in conditioner is a non-negotiable for me. I have used one every time I wash my hair since I was a teenager and have at least ten brands in my cabinet right now. This was suggested to me and it is now my go to product. I added it to my subscribe and save list.

I posted about the nighttime supplements I take that have helped my sleep and was asked which magnesium I am using. This is the one that is working best for me. Link below:

Need sleep? I am in the constant battle to sleep past 3:00 a.m. I have tried many combinations or products in addition to hormone replacements. Somebody on TikTok suggested adding Tart Cherry and coconut water with my magnesium supplement before bed. I have no idea why this works but I am sleeping all night. I do also take progesterone prescribed by my doctor (I am in menopause). This combination is working for me.

Nature's Favorite Cherry: Well known as one of nature's most bountiful herbs, Tart Cherry is native to the Carpathian Basin where it is widely cultivated. The succulent cherries from this tree bear a uniquely dark red color and are distinctly tart tasting in comparison to sweet cherries. Tart che...

I discovered this brand when researching the Victoria Beckham foundation. Someone touted this as being a “dupe”. I don’t know if it is or isn’t as I have not purchased the $110 foundation. I did decide to give this a try and find myself reaching for it over my Patrick Ta and One Size (both are amazing but expensive). This is a great daily wear light option. Link below:

Brows gels are a huge problem. I hate the residue left behind by the majority of products I have tried. This one was recommended to me a few months back and it is the first one I will repurchase. Link below:

I have a stack of loose powders from high end to drugstore. This is the one I reach for daily over expensive brands like Patrick Ta, Huda, Kosas and One Size. I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on powders trying to find something that won’t enhance texture or wrinkles. While I do not believe there is a powder that won’t enhance the line under my eyes this one does a job on the rest of my face and it is a fraction of the cost.
