OK, so I love beauty products. No, seriously, I LOVE beauty products; am quite obsessed with them, actually. One might call me a … well, you see the name of the blog.
Now, while I am unabashedly girly, my interest in beauty also relates to the value I place in a healthy lifestyle and the products that can help achieve the looks of a healthy lifestyle. What’s the point of all that exercise, organic eating, meditation and education if Mother Nature still gets the last laugh? Cruel, cruel bitch, that one.
Therefore, I bring to you this blog, which will be a mix of news, random musings and editorial analysis of all-things relating to preserving the outside so that our inner beauty has a shot.
My creds: I’ve been working as a journalist for nearly a decade, four years of which I covered beauty professionally–reviewing everything from L’Oreal to La Mer. Here I’ll do so a little more candidly.
I’m also one of the founding partners of SirensMag.com, a hip, alternative online magazine that celebrates beauty in an intellectual way. Ditto sexual openness, relationship ups-and-downs, political perspective, good entertainment, great literature and everything else that makes women the complex creatures that they are.
Now, I know I’m not alone in my product whorishness, so please join in the discussion!
