Why You Need to Experience Your Own Blogging Journey

Last week, I tweeted out a hot take that’s been on my mind for awhile.  “New bloggers, please stop sending messages to bloggers you don’t know expecting them to consult with you for free. It’s taken a lot of trial and error to get to this point on my own, you need to experience that journey too.”  I expected to immediately see some backlash, but everyone’s responses were in agreement.  Your business and blogging journey should be unique to you!

Colorescience Beauty On the Go Palette Review + 5 Swatches

We’re talking beauty today, y’all!  I’ve been using this Colorescience Beauty on the Go palette since the beginning of July and wanted to share my thoughts.  And before we get started let me just geek out about a full circle moment that we’re sharing.

I started What Nicole Wore {almost 2 1/2 years ago}, because of the lack of diversity I noticed in blogging.  It’s no secret around these parts that I’m a HUGE lipstick lover, but I’ve definitely ordered shades before only for them to look completely different on me than pictured.  While it’s a first world problem, I’m always frustrated when there’s a new beauty product I want to try but the swatches are all shown on white models with similar skin tones.

That’s why I’m so excited today to share a review of the Colorescience Beauty on the Go palette and tell you my thoughts of how the product worked on my skin tone!

Just Throw it in the Bag: Trendlee Chloé Tote Review

There comes a time when you’ll choose to purchase investment pieces.  For me, I always do a ton of research beforehand.  Factors that help me decide on these purchases are: quality, versatility, and functionality as well as price.  Recently, I test drove a bag from Trendlee, a designer handbag resell service & today I have a Chloé tote review on the Chloé Alison East West Tote.
