I'm 49, and these are the 10 things I actually do that make me look and feel hot AF after 40. Some of them are about my skin, my clothes, and my heels. The one that made the biggest difference has nothing to do with Botox, filler, treatments, or anything I can buy.

Rewritten Beauty. The serum I built when I turned 40 and refused to disappear. Use code MYSELF for 15% off.
This one is for every woman who has ever felt like she was supposed to make herself a little smaller so everybody else could stay comfortable. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face. But I was not born knowing how to walk into a room. I was the girl who got laughed at for walking across one.
First I get into the things people notice before you ever open your mouth: how I take care of myself every single day, the two-minute ritual I do while my serum goes on, why I stopped apologizing for caring how I look, and how I figured out exactly what to wear for my body so I'm not trying on a new personality every time a trend changes.
Then it gets personal. I tell the story of the day I stood up in class to enter a beauty pageant and the whole room laughed, and how I walk into a room now. I get into pace, standards, having a signature, why I don't make myself smaller anymore, how I got comfortable being seen, and the one thing on this list that changed everything else.

What is I'd Like To Thank Myself?
We thank everyone else for our success... friends, team, mentors. But when’s the last time you thanked the only person who actually dragged you through hell and back?
YourSELF.
This show is my love letter to the version of you who doesn’t get enough credit. The you who kept going when it would’ve been easier to quit.
I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to be 48, building a skincare company, navigating perimenopause, raising a teenager, and refusing to become invisible.
The stuff nobody talks about after 40. And how I’m rewriting all of it.
Sometimes it’s just me. Sometimes it’s founders, creatives, and icons who’ve rewritten everything too. Always, it’s the raw truth.
Nothing filtered. Nothing softened. Nothing for show. Just the truth... and a drink.
Every episode ends the same way: we raise a glass and say the thing most people are too humble to admit: I’d like to thank mySELF.
