Actress Naomi Watts wants to have a conversation about menopause—and we are here for it! We chat about cultural attitudes toward aging, whether the “last f**kable day” is still a thing, why menopause was a taboo topic for our moms and their moms, and why that needs to change. Plus, she shares the secrets she’s learned to living her best half (aka, the second half of her life); how she’s dealt with all the changes that happen “scalp to vag” before, during, and after menopause; her new brand, Stripes; and some of her favorite beauty products.

This podcast is for “all the beauties,” as Olivier Rousteing likes to say. We’re talking about his Balmain beauty play; the Gen X and millennial natural brands staging comebacks; Beauty Pie’s new refillable Unlipstick; and our dislike of foundation that’s too sheer (flesh-colored water) & lipstick that’s not comforting (lip-colored water). Plus, let’s raise some wands to two amazing fall fragrances and Hugimals, the weighted stuffed animals we’re obsessed with.
