My brain puts baths in the same category as yoga: it'd be 'nice' to relax for an hour, but I just want a 10-minute, high-impact workout; get in, get out. Showers are my cardio.

Your skin is like a plant. You have to water it. Make sure it's hydrated, not just squeaky clean.

My wardrobe falls into two camps most of the time: either very monochromatic and tailored or really vintagey, with '30s and '40s-style long floral dresses. I don't buy that much, so every time I invest in something new, it has to elevate what I have hanging in my closet.

Glossier - our content, our products - it's for all for you; it's ours.
Emily Weiss -
I love supporting female-owned companies and women who are awesome.

At 'Vogue,' I was responsible for a lot of production work, and production work is highly detailed, and you have to be very resourceful to fit a square peg into a round hole. I learned to push the envelope when it comes to asking questions or making requests.

That power of the individual person - just the girl - is infinite.

I just grew up loving beauty products. Going to the mall, and the Stila counter in the '90s. I was obsessed with hair dye.

A huge number of women are shopping for beauty products based on recommendations from friends, and we really look to be that friend.

If you're interested in a 'Teen Vogue' internship, take note: it's not all fun and games! Working at a magazine requires a ton of energy and endurance from its interns and editors alike.

When you own a pair of haircutting scissors, you cut your own hair constantly.

People often ask me, 'How do you go about choosing who to feature on Into The Gloss?' And I've never had a great answer. Ultimately, I think the #1 thing that draws me to someone is their sense of freedom.
Emily Weiss -
Beauty is very intimate.

My December is typically one big, sweaty 'wintry mix' blur, not a punch-laden, heartwarming mixer.

With 'Into The Gloss' and now Glossier, the reason it was successful was because there were so many like-minded women out there who were also dissatisfied with their beauty experiences.

I grew up in a conservative New England town and showed up to my middle school orientation dressed like 'Clueless' while everyone else was wearing J. Crew and lacrosse uniforms. I never really fit into that preppy look.
Emily Weiss -
Over the years of running Into The Gloss, I began to see a gap in the way beauty companies were creating products and marketing them to women. There wasn't one brand that really spoke to girls like me, who created products for real life. So we set out to create that brand with Glossier.

It's very important to me to have a female venture capitalist.

I've had some not-great experiences with laser hair removal, probably because I haven't done what they told me.
Emily Weiss -
We could be like a lot of consumer brands that start blogs after they start their business. But in our case, I think Glossier is still very much a content company. I think about our products themselves as pieces of content.

We wanted Glossier to have an excellent customer experience and reach as many of you as possible from day one, so we went with venture - the stuff fast-growth, tech-enabled companies like Facebook, Amazon, and Apple are made of.
Emily Weiss -
I read every single comment that comes in.
Emily Weiss -
The great thing about interning at 'Teen Vogue' is that there is so much room for growth; interns here do incredible things if they work hard enough and think outside the box.

I am, in fact, a candle salesperson's worst nightmare - or dream come true, depending on the salesperson.
