Here’s a recipe for a DIY leave-in hair conditioner:

Ingredients:

1 cup distilled water
2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
1 tablespoon vegetable glycerin
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
10 drops essential oil (optional)
Instructions:

Combine all the ingredients in a spray bottle and shake well.
Use the conditioner after washing your hair, when it is still damp.
Spray the leave-in conditioner on your hair, focusing on the ends.
Gently comb through your hair to distribute the conditioner evenly.
Style your hair as usual.
The aloe vera gel and vegetable glycerin will help moisturize your hair and prevent dryness, while the jojoba oil will add shine and protect your hair from damage. The essential oils can be customized to your preference, but some good options for hair include lavender, rosemary, peppermint, or tea tree oil.

Note: This leave-in conditioner should be stored in the refrigerator and used within one week. Shake well before each use.

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.
