Accessibly Ever After is a beauty and lifestyle podcast reimagining makeup, skincare, and cosmetic design through an accessibility-first lens. Created by disabled creators and accessibility advocates, Ashton McGrady & Kailey Waskall, this show exists because too many beauty products still aren’t designed for real bodies, real hands, or real lived experiences. We’re here to change that.

Each week, we review makeup and skincare products, break down what makes packaging accessible (or inaccessible), celebrate thoughtful design wins, and share practical ways to adapt beauty routines for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent makeup lovers. From easy-open packaging and grip-friendly tools to formulation, usability, and inclusive design, we go beyond trends to talk about what actually works.

Once a month, we release a minisode featuring guests from the beauty industry, accessibility experts, and individuals who creatively adapt products and routines to fit their unique needs.

Our community helps guide the conversation. Follow us on Instagram @AccessiblyEverAfter to submit questions, share accessibility wins or frustrations, and help shape future episodes. All products and resources mentioned are linked in the show notes.

    7 Oct 2026

    Season 3 is back, baby, and the beauty industry has been BUSY.

    Kailey and Ashton kick off Season 3 with a fall-break catch-up before diving headfirst into the beauty stories everyone has been talking about. From Kailey’s new school year and The Beauty Burrow to Ashton’s New York adventures and some very exciting creative wins, there’s plenty to catch up on before the real tea begins.

    This season premiere takes on eye patch gate, unpacking the Fenty, Glow Recipe, and Huda packaging frenzy and asking whether twist-dispense packaging could actually be an accessibility win. They also get into sustainability, beauty-brand copycats, and the Molly Sims YISE Beauty and Jones Road drama.

    And because apparently the beauty industry has decided we need a new product every five minutes, Kailey and Ashton are also getting into some of the latest beauty releases, sharing what caught their eye, what has them intrigued, and what has them saying, “Okay, but why and who asked for this???”

  • And They Lived Accessibly Ever After... BRB
    28 Aug 2026

    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.

  • Crown Collective 👑: Bella M.
    26 Aug 2026

    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.
