In this season two finale of Accessibly Ever After, Ashton and Kailey are getting personal, getting opinionated, and getting ready for a little fall break.

Through an accessibility-first lens, they explore what makes a product genuinely usable, from packaging and applicators to grip, texture, size, and the little design choices that can either reduce friction or create an entirely unnecessary battle.

They also take on a listener question about toothbrushing, opening up a bigger conversation about sensory needs, neurodivergence, executive functioning, and the reality of keeping up with everyday care when your brain or body does not always cooperate. Rather than focusing on what you should be doing, they share practical, low-pressure ways to make oral hygiene more manageable and meet yourself where you are.

As they wrap up season two, Ashton and Kailey reflect on what the podcast has meant to them and look ahead to season three. Accessibly Ever After will be taking a short fall break before returning October 7, so consider this your official permission slip to rest, recharge, and make your own routines work for you.

In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton sit down with Isabella “Bella” Morton-Smith, founder of Flexxi Beauty, an occupational therapist turned makeup artist turned founder who is building adaptive tools for the beauty industry.

While studying to be an OT, Bella spent her days working as a makeup artist and began noticing a disconnect: beauty products were becoming more advanced, but the brushes and tools people used to apply them hadn’t really changed in years. That left many people with arthritis, Parkinson’s, cerebral palsy, hand injuries, tremors, and other disabilities struggling to access the same beauty experiences.

That realization sparked a five-year process of prototyping, testing, and designing alongside people with lived experience, ultimately leading to the Flexxi Brush, featuring a palm strap, magnetic interchangeable heads, and zero required grip or wrist rotation.

Bella also shares what it’s like to bridge the worlds of occupational therapy, beauty, disability, and entrepreneurship, the importance of designing with disabled people rather than simply for them, and her vision for the future of adaptive beauty.

This week on Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton are doing a deep dive into Dieux Skin, one of the internet's most loved skincare brands.

Dieux was founded in 2020 by Charlotte Palermino, Joyce de Lemos, and Marta Freedman. Palermino spent a decade in media before becoming a licensed esthetician and one of skincare's most outspoken myth busters online. De Lemos is Dieux's cosmetic chemist, with a background formulating for brands like SkinCeuticals and Kiehl's. The brand launched with the Forever Eye Mask and built a reputation on transparency, real formulation science, and a "buy less, buy better" philosophy that runs counter to most of the beauty industry.

In this episode, Kailey and Ashton talk through why Deliverance Serum has earned a permanent spot in both their routines, and what makes Instant Angel and Skin Mercy so effective for skin barrier support. They also cover why the Baptism and Ethereal cleansers stand out in a category full of stripping, overcomplicated formulas, choosing between fragrance-free and scented cleansers, the reusable Forever Eye Mask, and the accessibility and real-world trade offs of aluminum tubes, pumps, and tins as packaging.
