This is exactly what I needed to read this morning....your writings are very positive and aligned with every woman in our generation and beyond......it has been challenging to say the least now with social media and announcing a new break through treatment or product to fix "our aging skin and body" - Accepting ourselves as we are and every flaw is empowering...it took me cancer to settle on this but it is true. Being in the fashion industry for over 30 years, I had always refrained from magazines to not derail from my own self image - it was my shield but now with social media, I find it hard to escape it all so sometimes I struggle and I worry about my daughters. I have kept them off social for now but I know this will shift soon as they get older and I just need to remind them daily, that they are worth it.....they are amazing - JUST LIKE YOU, mama!
You are so true to yourself — it’s a thing of beauty. I’m sorry that it took a crisis to get there, but love seeing you shine with The Fondle Project. The protective care for your daughters and the love language you are raising them with is everything. You really are amazing. xx
Growing up, I never felt like the beauty industry spoke to me. Magazines and ads seemed to press insecurities upon me, and I quickly became aware of how they could deeply harm my self-image. I’m so grateful for the progress made in the past few decades, as I’ve found brands that resonate with the person I am now. I’ve also come across writers like you, who articulate the complexity of aging as a woman in our culture. It's validating, therapeutic, and insightful and I will absolutely be influenced by you and your positive messaging. You too are amazing!
JoLynn — you have brought me to tears. I just can’t thank you enough for the unwavering support and kindness. And, I’m with you that it’s wonderful to see some brands embrace what women need to see and hear — YOUR brand being one of them, as it stands for healthy skin and uplifting ourselves with self care; and the impetus for Proteger has enormous heart like its founders. xx

I’ve been an Oil of Olay gal since I was 17, so 40 years. I always get the SPF 15, and it’s kept my skin looking great. Super article, thank you.💕
Thank you, Sheila!
