When I published my horrifying story about Terry Richardson last year, a lot of people asked me why I still did nude modeling after having such a gross experience with it. The answer, basically, is this: because I like it. Contrary to popular belief, posing for nude photos is not an inherently fucked up thing to do.

What Are Russian Lashes? This is a question every lash tech is asked on a daily basis. In fact, us lash techs are asked multiple times a day! ‘Will they be too heavy?’ ‘Will my lashes look fake?’ ‘Are they going to be too much for me?’ ‘Won’t they ruin my natural lashes?!’ The answer to all of these questions is NO! Here’s the truth: Russian Lashes (also called Russian volume lashes, volume lashes, or even RuVol) is the name given to an incredibly delicate and precise lash technique that is used to create a volume lash look.

I try not to get worked up in comments sections on articles online. For one, it’s generally a colossal waste of time, and it’s really not becoming, either. Most of the time, I just think of what I would say and spend my time more wisely. But some issues are too dear to my heart, and my impulse control is not that great. Earlier this week, The Huffington Post published an article about food security in America; it featured the story of a single mom with two teenage daughters and outlined the struggles they — like millions of other Americans — face.…

I’ve had professionals do every type of treatment and makeup style imaginable on me, but ask me to replicate it, and you’re in for a nasty case of a panda face. It turns out I’m great with theory but not so great with the practice of it, which is why I was crazy excited to get a copy of Rae Morris’s new book, Makeup Masterclass. If you’re wondering how I’ll be spending every spare night over the next few weeks, it will be sitting…

There are a lot of reasons to quit a job that you hate — sexual harassment, bullying, incredibly rude customers, and so on — but it can be really tricky to figure out what to do with your life when you actually like your job. When you like your job, but you don’t love it — it’s not your life purpose or you’re just not feeling completely fulfilled — it can be very challenging to make the leap when there is the risk that you might not love your next job either. WANT MORE? If you liked this career advice,…

Being productive and happy in a disorganized and messy space is extremely difficult. A cluttered mind is often indicative of a cluttered and unappealing living and/or workspace. Research has shown that individuals are far more satisfied in life if their living quarters are esthetically pleasing. Placing a photo of a loved one on the wall or other personal effects on a coffee table often aren’t enough to make one feel at “home” in a rental property.
