Best Free Beauty Tip

My face is not serene
when I do the cold rinse.
One day I was complaining to becca about my skin. The pores are huge. She suggested I start rinsing my face with extra cold water. "A cold water rinse is also great for your hair. It seals the cuticle," she added. Well, I haven't been great about putting cold water on my face, but I have been rinsing my hair with icy water. It makes my hair shiny and smooth. When the weather's nice, I don't even need to use my anti-frizz serum.

What's the best free beauty tip you're ever gotten?

Ice cube on pimples. You know those big red angry pimples that feel hot and hurt when you touch it? I wrap a paper towel or some small clean towel around it and gently press it on the area. The cooling dims the pain and swelling.

p.s. If the word security thing gets any more difficult to read. I won't be able to post even if I'm not a robot...

Not 100% free, but olive oil and sugar is the greatest exfoliator/moisturizer ever. Olive oil in general is a godsend; I use it on the ends of my hair to prevent split ends.

Catie, I've read that about olive oil. I'll have to try it.

My mom have me the cold water on your face tip. She also told me to wash my face and moisturize twice a day. Super simple and oft repeated, but it totally makes a difference.

Also, a cold water rinse does awesome things for all of your skin (but I can only manage that in the summer).

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
