Thanks for stopping by! I’m so glad you could be here to share in (née, enable) my beauty obsession. More than that, I’m thrilled to get back to the thing I love doing most: writing. Face Value should be equal parts advice and laughs because, as a millennial, if there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s telling people how to do things better, am I right? Ugh…
