SELF magazine had a great article in the May issue titled Do It Yourself! Natural Beauty. The article lists at-home treatments for strong, shiny hair and healthy, radiant skin. For example, you can achieve shiny strands by combining 1 cup apple juice, 1 cup pear juice and 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar. Simply shampoo, then pour treatment on & let it soak in for one to three minutes. Rinse, then condition. I especially like that each treatment includes a tester tip, as well as store-bough products that are alternatives if you prefer to go that route.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)
Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster
Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.
That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.
What Are Calm Down Sheets?
These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.
They’re perfect for:
Rage coloring during a hot flash
Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly
Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils
Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative
Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause
There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
