Journalist and podcaster Kim France, creator of Girls of A Certain Age and co-host of the Everything is Fine podcast (and the founding editor of Lucky magazine) is here to talk about getting older—which happened to all of us in 2022 (if we were lucky). We discuss "midlife," what age that happens, and whether you need to change up your style and beauty routine when you get there. Plus, what's up with all the in-between ages that our culture and mainstream advertising tend to ignore? Is “anti-aging” a negative term? And so much more. This was our most-downloaded interview of 2022, so we're replaying it before we kick off 2023 with all-new episodes on Friday, January 6.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…we’re wrapping up 2022 with our thoughts on everything we liked (nice) and didn’t (naughty) in the big, bad—and good?—world of beauty. Okay, you get it, we love a theme. Listen in for great products, gross trends, excellent stories, and regrettable choices. Then, go get some beauty sleep. You deserve it.
