The 40+ influencer community is growing and we are thrilled!
At one of the first rewardStyle conferences Erin attended, there were just a handful of influencers over 40…out of 200. Now, there are dozens! As the 40+ influencer world grows, so do the amazing resources! Here at Busbee, we’re trying to disrupt the perception of being 40+. This is not a time to hide your age or worry about becoming invisible. This is a time for reinvention, a time to try new things!
With this new site launch, our team will be bringing you all the resources you need to uplevel your lives. We will not only cover Style, but also Beauty, Wellness, Lifestyle, and Home. If you’re interested in more 40+ influencers who are empowering women, check out these YouTubers and bloggers that we love…

Wow! Love this! Seeing some favorites and new ladies to check out! A few years ago my friends and I lamented we were virtually invisible in the “style blog” world, but that’s really changing for the better. Erin, Angie (Hot and Flashy), Cassie (Sugarplum) have really helped me look better and feel better. Thanks so much!
I needed ALL these new women who are 40-Plus to “follow”. Thank you for helping me update my Instagram feed with some relevant content!!!
Isn’t there any good curvy stylist in this list?
I Can’t thank you enough, Erin. I have so enjoyed watching you and knowing you these years. I have followed your journey and am always inspired by you. I am so thankful and honored that you chose me to be in this amazing group.
Much love and thanks!
Melissa
You’re an inspiration to so many women, Melissa, including me. Love you! Erin xo
My favorite over-40 youtuber for beauty is jen phelps. She is so hard working and gives the best makeup reviews, very in-depth with lots of clear swatches. Plus her looks are very subtle and wearable and not over-the-top full glam. definitely check her out for next time!
One oF my favorite Youtubers is Tracy Hensel. Her channel inspires me just like Busbee! ????
