Accessibly Ever After: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Ashton McGrady & Kailey Waskall
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.

Deep Into The Well: Luna Daily
This week on Accessibly Ever After, Ashton and Kailey continue their brand deep dive series with Luna Daily, the microbiome-focused bodycare brand founded by Katy Cottam after her own experience with thrush following a course of antibiotics left her unable to use mainstream products on her most intimate skin.Ashton and Kailey dig into Luna Daily's mission to take intimate care out of the "feminine hygiene" aisle and into the everyday skincare conversation, and what accessible bodycare actually looks like for people managing chronic illness and disability. They also get into the practical side: what a lower-effort, one-step skincare product means on a low-spoon day, and where the brand could go further to meet chronically ill and disabled customers where they are.Is Luna Daily's mission to destigmatize intimate care backed up by accessible product design that holds up for chronic illness and disability, or is there still work to do? Tune in for an honest, product-by-product breakdown of accessible beauty and bodycare through a disability lens.Listen now and start seeing beauty differently.Heads up: Some of the links below are affiliate links.

Crown Collective 👑: A Conversation with Dr. Julian Sass
In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Kailey and Ashton sit down with cosmetic scientist and creator Dr. Julian Sass to unpack the science behind beauty products, sunscreen, and formulation. Dr. Sass holds a PhD in Biomathematics and Statistics from North Carolina State University and has spent his career translating complex cosmetic science for everyday consumers, a body of work that's been featured in outlets such as The Washington Post, Vogue, and Today. He's also the creator of a widely respected sunscreen database of over 500 products, built to help people, especially those with darker skin tones, find sun protection that truly works.From how products are actually developed to why so many sunscreens sting the eyes or feel unpleasant on the skin, Dr. Sass breaks down complex topics in a way that's clear, funny, and actually helpful. He digs into what consumers often misunderstand about sunscreen safety, why nuance matters when discussing "harmful" ingredients, and how brands can build more inclusive products from the very beginning of the development process.Dr. Sass also shares what true accessibility looks like in beauty, why packaging matters more than most people realize, and how small design choices can make a huge difference for disabled and everyday consumers alike.Listen now and start seeing beauty differently.Links:Dr. Julian Sass’ website: https://www.drjuliansass.com/ Sunscreen Database: https://www.drjuliansass.com/sunscreen-database Socials: @DrJulianSass (Instagram), @DrJulianSass (TikTok), @AccessiblyEverAfter, @OccupationBeauty, @RadiantlyGoldenContact Julian: contact@drjuliansass.comContact Us: contact@wishingwellco.com

Snow days, Wuthering Heights, & Beauty Products You Still Can’t Open
What do snow days, Wuthering Heights, and accessible beauty have in common? Somehow… everything.In this episode of Accessibly Ever After, Ashton McGrady and Kailey Waskall are catching up on life, from weekly highs and lows to navigating things like dental health, chronic illness, and the reality of energy levels in everyday routines.

Because a product can be beautiful, viral, and still completely inaccessible.From pump design and packaging ergonomics to in-store accessibility at places like Ulta, we’re talking about what works and what doesn’t. We also get into the importance of representation in media, the need for more joyful and colorful makeup, and why accessibility isn’t a bonus feature, it’s the baseline.Listen now and start seeing beauty differently.Heads up: Some of the links below are affiliate links.
