Welcome to the Menopause Collection 2024.
This collection is my little love letter to that phase of life where you suddenly realize you are not here to behave, perform, or be “nice” in the old way anymore.
It is inspired by exactly the things that make me feel steady when my system is doing… whatever it’s doing. The warm wind. The salty sea air. The grounded patience of the earth that just keeps being earth, no matter what mood we’re in.
And yes. Every color has a well kept secret.
A soft sparkle that only shows up after it dries, like the paint is sitting there going, “Okay fine, I’ll show you my personality now.”
This year I wanted the names to feel more like real life. Like the inner voice you actually have when you’re moving through this season. Some days you’re deep and reflective. Some days you’re a philosopher. Some days you’re looking for your coffee like it’s a missing person.
So here they are. The final 12 names, one for each month in the cycle:
#277 Enough Said
#278 Peace Over Perfection
#279 Self-Care First
#280 Morning Stillness
#281 Patience Running Thin
#282 Permission to Pause
#283 Where’s My Coffee?
#284 Lost and Found
#285 Embrace the Mess
#286 Whatever
#287 In My Own Time
#288 Unapologetically Me
These names are here to hold the whole thing. The shifts, the surprises, the sharp edges, the new clarity, and the part where you start choosing yourself without explaining it to anyone.
This is menopause, but in color.
Not as a problem to solve.
More like a chapter where you stop apologizing for taking up space.
