Instagram has a faster chance of reaching me than CNN, and if I really want to know what's going on, I refresh my Twitter feed.

Toronto girls are super interested in skincare, which is actually kind of unique. Because in New York, the girls seem to be mostly interested in makeup.

I like people who work hard.

The guardians of French pharmacies - the lab-coated salespeople - are busy, serious, and probably know more about your face than you do. Therefore, don't interrupt them, and if they ask you if they can help you, for God's sake, let them. They will not steer you wrong.
Emily Weiss -
People talk about body cleanses like there's no tomorrow - what about apartment cleanses?
Emily Weiss -
One of the big things I've learned over the years and I'm excited that Glossier perpetuates is that wherever you're at, in terms of your scope of knowledge around beauty, is totally okay. And not just okay, but actually really valuable.
Emily Weiss -
This is hard to admit, but historically, I haven't worn sunscreen. I know - not good.
Emily Weiss -
The creation of 'Into The Gloss' took less than a month. Glossier took twelve months and about a million dollars to hire the team, work with the chemists, order the inventory, get an office - you know, the whole thing.

'Into The Gloss,' what I think it did so well was create a conversation around beauty and make beauty the main event as opposed to the ugly step-sister, which it often is in magazines.
Emily Weiss -
I feel like I have time to think when I'm in L.A. There's something about the spaciousness of it.
Emily Weiss -
You learn a lot about people when you're sitting on their bathroom floor or on their toilet seat, rifling through their stuff.
Emily Weiss -
Nobody said being platinum was easy.
Emily Weiss -
I'm not afraid of being told 'no.'
Emily Weiss -
When I think of baths, I generally think of children, the elderly, couples, and the English. Who takes baths? I mean, seriously - none of my friends take baths.

I am crazy for good branding and really admire companies that get it right.
Emily Weiss -
When Glossier launched in the U.S. back in 2014, it felt small - but in a good way. We were able to introduce ourselves locally, start a community, and build something special together.
Emily Weiss -
My musical inclinations are fine and dandy within the confines of my ears and my earphones but don't sit well with others.
Emily Weiss -
I must admit that self-tanner is one beauty arena I've been hesitant to explore, let alone fully embrace.
Emily Weiss -
Sunscreen, in the world of beauty, is the ultimate in adulting.
Emily Weiss -
Glossier is really for anyone who wants to embrace the present and live in the now. It's about embracing constant change and who you are at any given moment, and that's often someone who's imperfect - and that's cool.

My desk is more of a place where I set my stuff, and then I move around. If I'm at the office, I'm usually wandering around to different meeting rooms all day or taking people out or making tea. I'm rarely at my desk; it's just a place to hang my hat.
Emily Weiss -
I'm surrounded by women whose style I admire. It's natural to be inspired. I'm not a horrible copycat, or if I am, then I admit it and make a joke about it.
Emily Weiss -
I eat out alone a lot.
Emily Weiss -
The single guiding principle that I try to follow, assuming blindly that the rest will fall into place, is to operate squarely in the present. I think it's one of the most difficult things for anyone to do.
