Hey Rachel! I tend to be really really bad at trying new things, especially with skincare. I need to get at least 3 recommendations from people I trust, plus I need to do a LOT of research before purchasing. That being said, I have had the same four step skincare process with the same products for around a year now, and I really want to start branching out and trying new products. How do you do so?

i guess i'm lucky cause i get a lot of things for free to try out... but hey, follow your favorite 'gurus' - ones you trust, and try one or two of their recs. if you like it, keep trusting them! i have so many grwm videos so worth exploring maybe?

this is free except we pay for hosting - wordpress is way more dynamic if you know how to code (which I can't do this complexly)

Hi Rachel! LOVE your new website! so unique and special! It's really exciting and inspiring every time to see you put something new out here, and here is a thing i am always curious about, as a blogger who shares their life and living as a public figure, how do you balance it with your personal life, have you ever find it a little bit tricky? (heart)(heart)

Admin Reply by: Rachel
thank you!! I'm pretty open about everything - I don't have much to hide nor do I embarrass easily, but where I have my boundaries are sharing the lives of the people around me. I respect the privacy of my surroundings and don't share what's not mine. It only gets 'tricky' then because my life can look so one-sided 😉

go to wordpress, start blogging about things you like. if you meant to ask me how to start a successful one, well, i feel like you're off on the wrong foot with the purpose of what blogging is to begin with

You are the purest form of Internet art. Your new blog is incredible. I also love the little details, like the ability to move the Pinterest photos on the home page. You inspire me. I will throw a question in here: how do you refine an idea, so that it translates to your audience the way you intend? XOXO - please keep creating forever.

merci xx i think not rushing an idea is best. it takes a few run throughs and fresh eyes to keep chiseling away of what works and doesn't work. i'm still looking at the site with things that can be fixed - always .

First of all - l o v e your new space! I've been admiring everything you've been doing for the past few years and it's so nice to see how you've been growing and getting even more amazing with every year. Mad inspo. Second of all, I'd like to know what are some books or websites or things that you turn to for a pick-me-up or some extra inspiration, if there are any?

Aw thank you!!! So sweet and thank you for following along this whole time. The book store is definitely inspiring, if I had to name names, one book I love is Quentin de Briey's photography and always reference Juergen Teller as well. Hard to pinpoint specifics; everyone is good at different things and I take a little bit from everything I see rather than mimic certain looks/vibes from one person/thing.

Also, please make a video about how you planned and directed this project. I want to know everything about the wonders of technology and how you manifested your ideas into this beautiful beautiful platform. A youtube video would be much appreciated. :))) **still in awe...**

Hi Rachel, I'd like to know if you ever had to deal with mental health issues while having your blog (burn-out, depression, anxiety)? This industry requires so much effort and it can be a good pressure, but also lead you to these kind of problems... Also, do you know how to deal with anxiety caused by social networks? I feel so overwhelmed by this world sometimes...

i can have such a winded response and this has been a lingering issue that i can feel seeping through instagram. an easy answer, youre not alone in this. secondly, sometimes, it's best to truly disconnect. the internet brings too many boxes. hope you can find incremental peace; small steps

Rachel I adore you! I'm recently 20 and for the past year I've truly looked up to your outlook on life and how you embrace your creativity. I often go back and watch your daily vlogs for the bits of 'big sis' advice that slip through. Ok, this was not a question so far but....how do you see the big picture when it feels like your goals are far (and I mean far!) from reach?

thank you lil sis for all the kind wordzzzzz. man sometimes it's really hard to look that far, esp with how fast the world changes. (like who knew i'd be here 10 years ago??????), i tend to look at medium picture and play with immediate, tangible things. they eventually build into something formative.

Admin Reply by: Rachel
Lots of self-reflection. 2010's has been narcissism-inducing fuel. Maybe if we ask more questions, remain curious, stay humble through actions, realize we don't actually know it all, and also weigh the value in the things that motivate us, we could open room in our lives to appreciate each other more.

Give myself a realllly good spa day. Then I just remind myself that I am fucking awesome and there's only one of me and I have amazing people in my life and that would only be the case if I was the best person I can be for myself and everyone else *run-on sentence*

It actually makes me more inspired to NOT make what everyone else is making. It's actually easier to narrow down what you don't want to do.

Admin Reply by: Rachel
Laziness more than fear. I overcome fear when I remind myself that the reward on the other side weighs more than the fear to get there, IE: an apartment without spiders if I can just get over the fact that I am face-to-face with a spider and all I need to do... is to get the damn thing inside of the cup... walk outside... without it jumping on me... to release it.
