Hot Flash is a free newsletter for women that celebrates midlife written by longtime digital creator, 2x cookbook author, award-winning podcaster, and beauty and fashion enthusiast, Stacie Billis.
That’s me. Hi!
Let’s be real (I can’t help but always be real 🫣): The downsides of midlife are undeniable (she says having not slept though the night in weeks), but so are the upsides. Hot Flash celebrates the opportunity that midlife gives women — all of us hotties — to reclaim our confidence, creativity, friendships, and time. And really, to feel hot… maybe again or perhaps for the firsts time. Because feeling like we can wear, eat, and do what we want is HOT.
Subscribe for shopping picks, style inspiration, over-40 beauty, laid-back cooking tips for joyful eating, playful entertaining, and other little luxuries that help make midlife hot. You know, in the good way.
Is Hot Flash really free?
Yup. For now, all of the content on Hot Flash is free and my work here is supported by affiliate links. I’m grateful to have the freedom to offer free content — and to take advantage of the freedom that it offers me too! — and hope that you’ll use my affiliate links whenever you shop my picks. That’s how I get paid.
Also, while it’s just a theory, the fact that this newsletter is free may very well work against it rising in the algorithmic ranks. That means that SHARING Hot Flash with all of the women in your life who you think will enjoy it is super important.
Cool, but who are you again?
I’m that hottie who goes to the supermarket in her hoops and red lipstick. I’m also that girl who will show up at the bar to meet her bestie for a glass of wine in sweats with a dirty top knot. Because it’s also hot to have no qualms going out in whatever you feel like, especially if it means spending time with people you love.
If you want a more serious answer than that, you can read more about me here and also here. If you click through — or if you came here already familiar with my work to date — you may find yourself asking why isn’t this Substack all about food? The answer is: because midlife.
These days, I feel free to explore, expand, and experiment in ways that I have never before. I love fashion, beauty, shopping, entertaining, traveling and, of course, food. I’m excited to cultivate a space that allows me to indulge in them all and hopefully encourage you to do the same.
If you love what I’m putting down, you can also shop my picks at ShopMy and find some of my recipes at staciebillis.com.
