  • A must listen

    In a beauty world where we are bombarded with advertisements and narrative about how to achieve perfection, Donna has always been a refreshing and positive voice for real women. Her joyful, natural, and honest approach ensures that women from all walks of life (and age brackets) feel seen. ‘Smiling gives you wrinkles’ is the perfect antidote to all the anti-ageing rhetoric. Definitely on my weekly listen list.

  • Beauty comes from within!

    Give a listen, in the car, working out or doing chores. What a refreshing podcast! A boost in self confidence that just because you turn a certain age past society’s stigma on beauty you’ve still got it!! I’ve been worried about increasing fine lines and the changes I’ve seen growing older. But that’s ok! This podcast leads me to believe that’s because of all the fun I’ve had, smiling! Just as much as it does for all the down times- because that’s life isn't it?? As a beauty editor Donna Francis... more
