A HUGE part of blogging is reading! I read tons of magazines, product reviews, blogging tips, and more importantly … OTHER BLOGS! Blogging is a community and ya gotta support others adding their tips and opinionan to the blogosphere. Okay, sorry I’m gushing about blogs, but it’s like a sisterhood and other blogs inspire me. This entry is dedicated to my newest favorite – The Beauty Department!

Lauren Conrad is a genius and used her fame for good. Instead of being an untalented reality star, she’s an “entrepreneur” (her word, not mine). She realized what she wanted and used reality tv to market herself – she’s her own brand ambassador. Not only does she design and write fashion books, but she’s behind a mecca of beauty knowledge TheBeautyDepartment.com. What makes her even smarter is that she enlisted two true experts,  Celebrity Makeup Artist Amy Nadine & Hair Guru Kristen Ess, sure to serve up stellar beauty ideas and tips! Amy Nadine

This is totally my newest obsession!

It’s got fashion/ hair/ makeup/ manicure /grooming tips and it’s so visually interesting.
