New Editor!

May 21, 2021 by Angie McKain Leave a Comment

Hello Craft Gossip Community!

I have to tell you, I am sooo excited to be here with you all as your new Craft Gossip Bath and Body blog editor!

A little about me:

My name’s Angie and I’m from a small town in western Pennsylvania. I have two amazing little boys, both under the age of 3, who definitely keep me on my toes! I also live with my husband of almost 7 years, and a whole slew of animals (no, really, we have dogs, cats, goats, and a mini pig!)

This is me, hi everyone!!!

I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember! I remember, as a small child, always watching my grandma crochet and it fascinated me. On a trip out of state with my other grandparents, they took me to a store and bought me my very first set of crafting supplies, which actually happened to be all kinds of beads and embroidery floss so I could make bracelets. I was instantly hooked on making things and have never looked back.

My main crafting these days is mostly bath and body products, needle felting, lettering, paper quilling, and the occasional random craft project that lands itself on my table in my studio.

I’m a certified clinical aromatherapist who has had extensive training and education in formulating bath and body care products using natural ingredients and essential oils. I hope to bring that knowledge and background here, to this blog, and help you all make some of your very own, amazing body care products!

When I’m not crafting, writing, or chasing after little boys I spend my time reading, enjoying the outdoors, and being an advocate for the Down Syndrome community.

I have a lot of fun things planned for you all over the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime, I’d like to hear from you! Introduce yourself in the comments, tell me a little bit about you, and let me know what kind of things you’re hoping to see on this blog. So excited to get to know you all better! =)

Happy Friday and have a GREAT weekend!

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.
