Alba Botanica's products are made with 100% vegetarian ingredients. They have NO parabens, phthalates, harmful sulfates and they DO NOT test on animals. I really admire Alba Botanica for these reasons, however, I needed to test some of their products out to see if they would be good enough to add to my everyday skincare/makeup routine. Unfortunately, though the results weren't the worst, I don't think they have enough coverage/potency for my person preference. But it is good to know what low-toxic beauty products are out there!

I also reviewed a couple sample products I received from a Birchbox, which were the Coola Cucumber Sunscreen, made from certified organic extracts, and the Marcelle BB Cream in Golden Glow, which is perfect for sensitive skin and is also oil‑free and fragrance-free. I fell in love with both of these products, so I definitely recommend them!

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
