A mom isn’t just the woman who birthed you. There are all types of mothers and mother figures to be celebrated on Mother’s Day. That’s why Jergens launched its “A Mom is A Mom” campaign. To celebrate, I jumped on Zoom with brand ambassador Leslie Mann and her daughter Maude Apatow to chat beauty, skincare and confidence. Yes, they’re as cool as you think they’d be.

“This Mother’s Day campaign is so cool because they’re celebrating all moms, no matter what their path to motherhood is,” says Mann. She was happy to start working with the brand years ago since Jergens Moisturizer has been a favorite in her family forever. “My grandmother used to use the Cherry Almond Jergens so it’s something that’s been around forever and something that works,” she says. Mann also loves the Jergens Wet Skin Body Moisturizer ($5.32 at Amazon), though she admits she uses it on dry skin. (Nothing wrong with beauty hack!)

When it comes to mother-daughter beauty, Apatow says her mom taught her about “beauty from the inside out,” like “drinking water, eating food that’s good for your skin and not plucking your eyebrows.” She says she learned everything from Mann, watching her get ready and apply makeup. I ask Apatow what she picked up on the Euphoria set she was able to share with her mom.

“I definitely got more creative with eyeshadow,” she says. “And the big chunky glitter wings,” adds Mann.

Apatow admits it’s actually her 18-year-old sister Iris Apatow who is the beauty pro in the family. “My sister has been watching beauty tutorials since she was 11 years old so she knows way more tricks than I think we do,” she says. “My sister is really good at makeup because she’s been training for years.”

But that doesn’t mean this mother-daughter duo doesn’t share their own makeup faves with each other. “Maude and Iris used to come in and steal all of my makeup and products, and now because of Euphoria I think, [Maude] gets so much sent to her so I’m always going in and raiding her makeup drawers.”

They both love the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation ($48 at Sephora), as well as all the cream blushes out there on the market. Apatow favors ones from Milk Makeup and Melt Cosmetics. “And the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm sticks,” she adds. “They went viral and now they’re impossible to find.”

When it comes to skincare, Apatow admits she didn’t wear moisturizer for a long time, saying: “I was in college looking crusty.” Now they’ve got all the Jergens moisturizer they want, while they also “drink water, take care of yourself and exercise.” Mann stresses the importance of adding an exfoliating product, as well as her favorite Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum ($300 at Sephora).

For Mother’s Day, the family usually just have brunch together. “And they get me presents and they’re nice to me or the day,” says Mann laughing. She’s grateful her family is able to be together right now during a difficult time for many. Amen to that.

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Prince died, though for fans it feels like yesterday. So, the excitement for the upcoming Urban Decay Prince collection is fierce. The Prince Estate And Urban Decay announced the limited-edition partnership on Thursday, inspired in part by Prince’s creativity and personal style. Prince was known for his bold and unapologetic looks so we expect the makeup to be the same—with some purple hues, of course.

If you’re worried that Prince wouldn’t approve of this collaboration, know that it was done with members of Prince’s artistic camp. “I’m very excited for this collection. I hope it inspires you to make your own rules, just as Prince did for so many decades,” said Damaris Lewis in a statement. The actress, model, and dancer performed alongside the superstar.

“It’s incredibly important to carry on Prince’s legacy in a way that truly gets it right,” added photographer/director Randee St. Nicholas. “He challenged you to rise to his level of work ethic and intensity—not in a way that was threatening or fearful, you just didn’t want to disappoint him. He made you want to be your best, perform at the highest caliber and step outside of your comfort zone. When shooting, it was important to embody this boldness and freedom.”

We don’t know exactly what the products look like just yet but Wende Zomnir, Urban Decay brand co-founder, has been a huge Prince fan since the ’80s so you know she’ll do it justice. “We couldn’t possibly imitate someone as legendary as Prince, and to compare him to a palette would diminish what he represents,” she said in a statement. “It’s easy to say why this collection makes sense on the surface—his makeup looks and our shared love of purple—but we did our best to reflect his energy on a deeper level. We found his ethos of not asking permission to be who he was and owning it so boldly aligned with our values of breaking the mold and championing all forms of beauty.”

We’ll keep you updated on the launch later this month.

There is a time in life for almost everything, and of course, a time when we put some joys of our life aside. But when? And do we self-select by incrementally cutting back?

Now, at the age of 73, there are considerations I didn’t concern myself with at the age of 60. I expect the same may be true for you.

This came into focus for me during the week of the Boston Marathon three years ago. I’ve run this race a number of times over the past two decades. During those years, I’ve moved from the 55-59-year age group to the 70-74-year age group.

As I looked at race entries for that year, it became clear that the number of runners in my age group was but a fraction of what it had been 15 years prior. With the oldest female runner registered at age 85, I realized I might not have that many more opportunities to qualify for and run that fantastic race.

Will I self-select and decide I am just too old, or will it be an involuntary decision? What about those other women from my age group 15 years ago? Did they self-select or were there considerations beyond their control? I suspect it was a combination of both.

Pondering all that, I began to explore my thoughts on when we may need to curtail the activities and events we truly enjoy. Will it be a voluntary decision, that we simply no longer enjoy that activity, that we have found something we enjoy more?

Or will it be an involuntary decision based on a number of factors? What could we expect to lose, willingly or unwillingly? How will we deal with that loss when it comes?

So, here are some other areas where we may share these concerns:

Will I Need to Curtail My Driving?

Some of us love to get out on the road and drive. It’s been a part of our lives since our mid-teens. Have you already begun self-selecting when you drive or how long you are on the road? Are you still saving time by taking the fastest, most frenetic highway, or do you opt for the more relaxing route?

I have a friend who decided to cut expenses by selling her car and taking public transportation. When she wants to go out in the evening, she calls a taxi, an Uber or a similar service. For her, it was a self-selective and sound economic decision.

Will I Need to Change My Travel Plans?

Any of you who share the condition referred to as wanderlust know how serious a life change this could be (especially when it’s forced on you). When looking at adventure travel, do you check more closely on the hours of hiking each day or miles on a bike that are expected for a planned excursion?

When choosing your destination, do you question whether you could be in a vulnerable health position in some countries and regions?

Will Losses of Activities I Have Enjoyed in the Past Limit My Joy?

The loss of activities I genuinely enjoy is the one with which I personally struggle the most. I sincerely hope that my creative process will find other outlets that I had not considered.

We won’t know until we are there, but I expect to catch up on about 1,000 films that I have yet to view and as many books I have yet to read. And of course, the new generation coming into this world that we all want to meet and enjoy.

When and if our ability and energy preclude us from the enjoyable activities of a lifetime, let’s strive to find new ones.

As for me, I’d love to be that 85-year-old woman running the Boston Marathon, but if that is not to be, let me cheer from the sidelines.
