We’ve all heard of muscle memory. Most of us have also experienced it. Does the saying, “It’s like riding a bike.” sound familiar? 

If only our brains had this kind of recall during menopause!  Instead we get brain fog! 

Brain fog is commonly known as the feeling of:

  • distraction
  • loss of focus 
  • short term memory lapses 

Yep, that’s brain fog, a very common menopause symptom.

But maybe there is something we can do … read on to find out!

I’m not a doctor, but I have a sense of what many mature women are going through because I am one. Menopause symptoms like brain fog are a big deal and no fun to deal with (along with the myriad of the other menopause and perimenopause symptoms). 

This made me wonder, what can Generations Beauty do to make life easier for women dealing with challenges brought on by menopause and hormone changes?

Generations Beauty is here for mature women. We want to take away the overwhelm of finding information and products specific to our needs.  Plus make the information easily accessible. 

I put myself in your shoes and asked, “What would I want from Generations Beauty? And how would I want to access and receive it?”

Many women regardless of age, including myself, are too shy to ask questions publicly. (The fear of judgment is real)!

My experience and passion is in beauty (primarily skincare and makeup) so why not create a vehicle that delivers answers to common beauty questions for mature women? A vehicle that would be delivered anonymously thereby eliminating the worry of judgment.

But not only that, it would address the common complaint of brain fog:

  • Can’t remember where you saw that makeup or skincare tip? It was probably in the Generations Beauty email! Wink emoji
  • You’ll be saying to yourself, “I’ve been applying my eyeshadow for several days now, in the way shown by Generations Beauty in their email. My muscles and brain have it dialed! No need to even think about it!”

Making beauty simple and accessible for mature women so they feel confident and beautiful is our goal. Hence the creation of an email series meant specifically for mature women seeking beauty tips, validation, anonymity and no judgment.

2-1-0 Countdown Collective is Generations Beauty email service. The specific needs and preferences of mature women are top of mind. It includes information specific to them that addresses their priorities, delivered where and how they want to receive it. 

But our email inbox is sacred! In order to make this a valuable resource that women WANT to receive, I made sure that this service meets the following criteria:

  • It must be brief. Being respectful of everyone’s time, each message can be read in 10 minutes or less.
  • It must be exclusive. The content is something that only the women who sign up to receive it will get.
  • It must be useful. The tips are simple to replicate at home (often accompanied by a how-to video).

It also incorporates the practice of repetition and analogy to muscle memory. When women know what to expect, look forward to the content and are able to incorporate the tips into their own lives, that’s value!

It’s also paramount that mature women know how important and relevant they are. Both in their own circles and in the world in general. The beauty industry does a terrible job of representing mature women and I’m on a mission to change that! 

Mature women have a place in beauty, and they deserve to feel important and relevant too! 

Finally, it’s crucial that subscribers know that at Generations Beauty, there is zero judgment. You can sign up for the tips, for the uplifting messages or whatever reason you may have. It’s completely anonymous, you can unsubscribe at any time and no one needs to know or care. 

Your journey and interaction with Generations Beauty and Countdown Collective email is about you. I’m here to support you anyway I can. With zero judgment.

If receiving beauty tips that are relevant to you, along with validation and uplifting messages in a safe, judgment free space sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can receive the 2-1-0 Countdown Collective emails by clicking here

(You’ll no longer have to scour google for tips and try to remember where you found one you wanted to try – it’ll be waiting for you in your email inbox)!

Furthermore, we have a community featuring daily updates and information on mindset, menopause, beauty and more. You can access the Generations Beauty Community here

You can also tune-in to videos at the Generations Beauty YouTube channel (make sure you hit subscribe so you don’t miss a thing).

As always, please reach out if you have any questions! I’m also happy to help you find beauty products that meet your needs, lifestyle and priorities! Just send me a message.

Until next time, thanks for reading!

PS. On a side note, Generations Beauty 2-1-0 Countdown Collective email series is named after a muscle memory exercise that I pulled from my basketball coaching drills for girls.

We work on dribbling skills by repeating a form with 2 reps followed by an intermediate bounce 10 times. Then do the same skill with 1 rep and finally the skill consecutively with zero intermediate bounces. (If you’re not a baller, good news, the basketball terminology is done)!

The purpose is to build both muscle memory and skill.  It works and the girls have fun with it. Mature women deserve some fun in their life too! Bonus points when it also provides information and value!
