Welcome to Midlife Remix!
I’m so happy here. My name is Colleen, and I created Midlife Remix as a celebration of women hitting their stride at 50 and beyond. If you’ve ever been told that style has an expiration date, or that turning 50 means toning it down – well, stick around, because we’re about to laugh in the face of that notion and look fabulous doing it. 🎉 Midlife isn’t a crisis; it’s a remix, and this blog is all about rewriting the rules of beauty, fashion, and life on our own terms. Consider this your invitation to embrace your inner diva and rock your second act with style and sass.
Who am I? I’m a Fifty-something fashion fanatic, makeup lover, and sass enthusiast. Think of me as your midlife BFF who’s game to try a bold red lipstick or a new hairstyle right alongside you. By day, I juggle family, being a photographer’s assistant and dog wrangler, but by night (or whenever I find a free moment), I’m here dishing out real-talk on wrinkle creams that actually work, the joys of finally finding that perfect pair of jeans, and the hilarity of navigating hot flashes while winging our eyeliner. I’ve lived enough life to know that age is just a number and attitude is everything. 😊 Between us, we have decades of wisdom – and a closet full of great outfits – to tap into. I started Midlife Remix to share my journey (the ups and the laughable moments) and to build a community of like-minded women who aren’t afraid to shine at any age.
Who am I?
Hey there, Rockstar—welcome to Midlife Remix!
I’m Colleen—a sass-infused, leopard-print-wearing rebel with a cause. Photographer’s wife, mama to four grown kids, dog mom to the world’s most spoiled Maltese and English Cream Retriever, cat mom to Apollo and unapologetic fan of red lipstick, platform Converse, and second acts that slay.
I’m here to shatter the myth that life after 50 is beige and boring. Not a chance, darling.
This is where style meets sarcasm, and self-expression gets a serious glow-up. I’ve got laugh lines, tattoos, and a closet that says “Joan Jett went glam and raided a vintage shop.” I believe in skincare that works, fashion that turns heads, and stories that crack you up and crack you open.
From beauty tips and rock-n-roll outfit inspo to real-life rants and midlife magic—I’m remixing it all with attitude. Because let’s be honest: we’re just getting started, and we’re doing it louder, bolder, and way more fabulous than before.
So, grab your gloss, slip on your sparkly cowgirl boots, and let’s strut into this next chapter like it owes us a damn apology.
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a comeback.
On Midlife Remix, you’ll find a little bit of everything: my honest reviews of skincare that promises the moon (I’ll tell you which ones delivered a glow), style tips to make you feel like a rockstar at Sunday brunch, and candid chats about life changes – from empty nesting to starting passion projects. Expect a healthy dose of humor and cheekiness. (Warning: you may encounter puns about wrinkles and “growing bolder” instead of older!). But most of all, expect empowerment. This isn’t about telling you how to “dress your age,” it’s about helping you feel amazing at every age. Whether I’m flaunting a sequined jacket just because it’s Tuesday or testing a TikTok beauty hack made for Gen Z (spoiler: we can rock those too), I do it with the firm belief that we, as women over 50, can do anything – and look incredible while we do it.
