✨ Your Spark Action Step This Week
This week, choose one skincare product—just one—and upgrade it for your midlife skin.
You don’t need a 12-step routine. You don’t need a $200 serum. You need support, not stress.
Look for something more hydrating, more barrier-friendly, and more aligned with where your body is right now. For example:
- Swap your light lotion for a ceramide-rich cream that locks in moisture
- Ditch the foaming face wash for a gentle, creamy cleanser.
- Replace your old toner with a hydrating mist or essence
- Try adding a few drops of jojoba oil to your nighttime routine
Or choose a vulvar moisturizer to address intimate dryness with compassion
Pick one. Make the shift. Then notice how your skin responds—not just in texture, but in how it feels to care for yourself this way.
Midlife isn’t a time to punish your body—it’s your invitation to partner with it.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
