A Beauty Brand for Women Over 40: Sarah Creal Beauty Review

alittleBit | January 14, 2026

I turned 46 a few months ago and have been slowly adjusting my makeup routine to accommodate my changing skin. From fine lines, to texture to being more dry overall, I’ve been on a hunt for products that suit mature skin types. Years ago, this was not an option since most beauty brands marketed primarily to a younger demographic. In the past few years, there has been a shift in the beauty industry (slow but it’s there!) to cater more to an older demographic. Some brands offer products that suit mature skin types but I was so excited to see an entire beauty brand dedicated to women over 40, Sarah Creal Beauty.

How To Get a Natural Glow on the Face

alittleBit | January 10, 2026

As someone who has loved makeup for nearly 20 years, the most important part of how my makeup looks is a direct result of how I take care of my skin. There is only so much that makeup can do in terms of helping achieve radiant or glowing skin – most of that has to come from your lifestyle and the products you use to maintain your skin. Everyone’s skin is different and so much can affect the skin but if you are wanting to achieve a natural glow to your face, there are some simple steps that you can take in order to help achieve this.

Unique and interesting coats are my weakness because I love how they can become the entire outfit. This reversible cropped trench is one of the coolest styles I’ve seen in awhile. Great to wear into spring!

Things I Do To Get Through (and Enjoy) Winter

alittleBit | January 8, 2026

I used to get the worst seasonal depression during the cold winter months. I was miserable and felt unmotivated and sad until Spring. But over the past few years, I have completely reframed how I think about winter and the things I do during these months. And as a result, winter has now become my (second) favorite season of the entire year. I really leaned into slowing down and immersing myself in things that make me happy. November and December are the months of giving but I call January the “month of me”. I don’t focus on resolutions or a “fresh start” but rather allow myself to slow down and indulge in anything that brings me joy. I thought I would share the things I do that have really helped me enjoy this season in case you may need some inspiration for yourself.

Everything I Read in November/December 2025

alittleBit | January 7, 2026

Intermezzo – This had been on my TBR (to be read) list for more than a year so I finally decided to give it a go. Sadly, I could barely get through a quarter of it and had to decide not to finish. It is painfully slow and I could not get into it which was such a disappointment because it was given such great reviews. I usually love a book about family dynamics and the nuances that come with that but unfortunately this was one of the few exceptions. Rating: DNF

A Medium Coverage Concealer I Love for Mature Skin: Daness Myricks Yummy Skin Concealer

alittleBit | January 5, 2026

The older I get the less makeup I can wear because it can show too much texture and look unnatural on my aging skin. It’s more important than ever to find the right complexion products that will provide the performance I want while not working against my mature skin. When it comes to concealer especially, my options seem to be less and less because so many make my under eye area look worse as the day goes on. When I find one that really impresses me, I have to share it with all of you!

How to Wear Ankle Boots with Jeans

alittleBit | January 3, 2026

It’s officially boot season and I could not be more excited! I have more pairs of boots in my closet than I care to admit so I wear them all season long to get my money’s worth. LOL Especially when it gets cold, wearing flats with my jeans won’t cut it. I have a mix of boot styles in my closet – both knee high boots and ankle boots but tend to reach for ankle boots more when I’m wearing jeans. A simple classic pair of ankle boots with go with just about any pair of jeans.
