In beauty, there's this idea of this perfect picture, and I think, 'How about being present in the now, and a little messy?'
Your skin is like a plant. You have to water it. Make sure it's hydrated, not just squeaky clean.
Sunscreen, in the world of beauty, is the ultimate in adulting.
The ideal intern is committed, creative, organized, ambitious, independent, and able to crack a smile, whether meeting a celebrity or folding socks.
'Into The Gloss,' what I think it did so well was create a conversation around beauty and make beauty the main event as opposed to the ugly step-sister, which it often is in magazines.
You can make a million excuses for why something didn't go well, but ultimately, just fix it and get on with it. Be a solutions person.
Freedom and confidence are two different things, in my book. Confidence is overrated - it can be faked, whereas freedom is fearlessness.
When Glossier launched in the U.S. back in 2014, it felt small - but in a good way. We were able to introduce ourselves locally, start a community, and build something special together.
I must admit that self-tanner is one beauty arena I've been hesitant to explore, let alone fully embrace.
Over the years of running Into The Gloss, I began to see a gap in the way beauty companies were creating products and marketing them to women. There wasn't one brand that really spoke to girls like me, who created products for real life. So we set out to create that brand with Glossier.
Beauty is very intimate.
I like a semi-stressful massage - one where I can really feel something being worked out.
My wardrobe falls into two camps most of the time: either very monochromatic and tailored or really vintagey, with '30s and '40s-style long floral dresses. I don't buy that much, so every time I invest in something new, it has to elevate what I have hanging in my closet.
My brain puts baths in the same category as yoga: it'd be 'nice' to relax for an hour, but I just want a 10-minute, high-impact workout; get in, get out. Showers are my cardio.
My December is typically one big, sweaty 'wintry mix' blur, not a punch-laden, heartwarming mixer.
This is hard to admit, but historically, I haven't worn sunscreen. I know - not good.
I read every single comment that comes in.
I'm a lover and consumer of beauty.
I'm surrounded by women whose style I admire. It's natural to be inspired. I'm not a horrible copycat, or if I am, then I admit it and make a joke about it.
Instagram has a faster chance of reaching me than CNN, and if I really want to know what's going on, I refresh my Twitter feed.
