Thinking About Lip Injections? Read This First.
In 2025, the number of cosmetic procedures to the face is on a rapid incline — lip filler injections alone are up 73% over the last five years. Living in Southern California during this surge, my husband and I would often walk by young women who have very obviously poked and prodded their face, and Chase would turn to me and say, “Please don’t ever do that to yourself. I love your face how it is.” Needless to say, SoCal is a hotbed of women following the poking trends to match the women around them. But at what cost?
I admit, I have some pretty strong feelings around what women do to themselves in the name of “beauty.” I’m all for a good vampire facial, broadband light treatments, lymph rollers, and other ways to age gracefully. But when women in their 20s pay huge amounts of money to inject known toxins into their body, or to paralyze portions of their face, call me crazy, but it feels like priorities may be off.
Genuine question: When did huge fake looking lips become desirable to women?
Don’t worry, these are A.I. generated photos, but they look so real because we’ve all seen these kinda lips!
I don’t want to shame women. There are insane standards for females, and I have felt that pressure myself. I simply want to challenge the narrative we are telling regarding beauty. Bigger and faker doesn’t necessarily look more beautiful — it just looks…bigger and faker. Our eyes can tell! Not to mention the potential risks — allergic reactions, swelling, migration of filler, uneven results, infection, scarring, etc.
Is there another way to enhance our lips naturally and safely? (keep reading)
A few days ago I watched an Instagram video that made me so sad. This drop dead gorgeous woman, probably in her early 40s, with close to a million followers was speaking to the camera, covering her mouth, “confessing” that she purposefully had her lip filler dissolved. She had it removed because there was “significant migration and just didn’t look natural anymore.” (PSA - it rarely looks natural) She was clearly embarrassed to show her followers what she looked like. Saying, “I look so strange now. I have an appointment in a few days to get them refilled.”
When she finally dropped her hand and showed her natural lips I was shocked…
She looked incredible! Absolutely gorgeous with naturally full lips. I ventured to the comments and thousands of people were saying exactly what I was thinking.
”You look gorgeous.”
”OMG. Cancel your appointment! They look great!”
”You look even better than before!”
”Embrace the natural — it’s so beautiful.”
This video made me sad because this woman clearly couldn’t see what so many others could. We are all guilty of this to some degree, I’m sure. I don’t know this woman, but I commented, “I hope you can see how naturally beautiful you are. Cancel that appointment.”
So What To Do Instead of Injecting Our Lips?
Thinking back now, I should have DM’d her and offered to send her a bag of MushyLove — our caffeine free elixir that tastes like a cinnamon roll and has major skin benefits. Every scoop of MushyLove Latte is packed with 500 mg of organic, highest quality Tremella mushroom — The Beauty Mushroom.
Tremella has a long history of use in Chinese herbal medicine, dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). It was often regarded as a tonic for promoting longevity, enhancing vitality, and improving skin health. It was often included in the diet of women seeking to maintain youthful, glowing skin.
Why MushyLove Is a Great Alternative To Injecting Your Face:
Natural moisturizing benefits.
Antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
Collagen-boosting effects, making it beneficial for skin elasticity and plumpness.

Long-Term Benefits: Improved skin health, hydration, and collagen production, contributing to a natural, youthful appearance.
And risk free! No needles, toxins or crazy side effects. Plus, it’s wayyy more affordable. And delicious.

MushyLove lips don’t look fake, they just look…healthy! It will ALWAYS be a big part of my aging gracefully and naturally arsenal of tools.
