Hey everyone! I finally get to share a crazy exciting project I recently worked on: Youtube Rewind 2015! If you haven't heard of it before, every year Youtube puts together an epic video recapping and mixing all of the top viral videos, songs, and content creators for the year. This morning when the video went up, it already had 4 million views within the first 15 minutes so it's only right to respect that it's made to be huge from the start!

I nearly couldn't believe it when I got the e-mail asking me to participate a couple months ago and of course, I was even more excited to see the final product launch from its crazy worldwide filming schedule nearly 3 weeks long. I wanted to share with you the easter eggs behind the scenes as well as my contribution!

It is finally OFFICIALLY Fall! Bring on the beanies, scarves, faux fur and over-the-knee boots please. One of the things that I miss the most about living in the midwest is a nice crisp, cool autumn morning when you can admire the beautiful leaves changing colors while sipping on a hot cocoa. Honestly, it's still been blazing hot in LA but I tried my darndest to infuse some of that Kansas season into my fall lookbook this year. ;)

Happy Saturday everyone! It's been quite a while since I've talked about the From Head To Toe Youtube channel so I thought I'd do a little Weekend Roundup of what's been going on over there lately.


I'm super honored to announce that youtube.com/frmheadtotoe just hit 900,000 subscribers which is a number that's so huge I can't even wrap my head around what a crowd of that many people looks like. Mind officially boggled. Needless to say, I am stunned and totally humbled that anyone would stop to watch my videos much less subscribe. (Ohmygoojness, the emotions!)

When I started I never, ever thought my channel would get to this point and I'm still so, so grateful everyday for the awesomeness that is you. So first of all, THANK YOU!!!

If you guys want to subscribe you can click here or head on over to my channel page to see my latest videos. I post some of them here but many are channel exclusives so it's good to pop over there once in a while so you don't miss any updates!

As for what I've been doing lately, I've gone full swing into Back-To-School season. Since I myself am out of school, to me that means the kickoff of fall fashion and a return to basics for makeup. Sometimes it's good to refresh routines in preparation for the changing weather ahead.

Hey guys! Summer is fully in swing and I am so feeling the fashion right now. Compared to years past, it seems like what's popular this season is actually really flattering on the body with crop tops and high-waisted things that emphasize a curve without looking too revealing.

For my Summer Lookbook, I ventured out to the lovely and iconic Santa Monica Pier to do a bit of beachgazing, people watching, and yes, even some cotton candy eating. Hehehe...

 

Happy weekend everyone! Today I have a fashion styling video to share that's a bit different from my previous Lookbooks. Instead of simply having outfits of the season, I wanted to focus the topic down to something nearly everyone has in her wardrobe: the Plain White Tee.

Obviously you can always just throw on a white tee and a pair of jeans and head out the door, but I actually find the clean, basic nature of the t-shirt to be really fun to pair in creative ways by mixing high-and-low-end pieces.

Happy weekend everyone! I just wanted to pop in and share a recent interview I had with The Korea Times which covers my whole background and experience developing From Head To Toe.


It's been a surreal journey going from making home videos on my Sony Cybershot and blogging in my free time after my 8-to-5 in Kansas to, well, making home videos (In HD this time! With lights! And a mic!) and sending Tweets, Instagrams, and blog posts out to hundreds of thousands. It's not the numbers that give me the most pride, it's the exponential ability to send waves of positivity out that really brings a happy-tear lump to my throat.

To read the article you can click here or the photo above. Thank you so much to Julie Carlson and The Korea Times. I am beyond honored to be featured.

Just because it's crazy to see the changes my Youtube channel has gone through over the years, here's a look back at some of my past videos and how they've molded into what they are now!

Uploaded September 2009, Just Mascara + Monolid Tutorial is one of the oldest tutorials I posted on Youtube that still remains on my channel. Earlier videos were deleted at one point or another before I was aware you could private them. 


I really started falling in love with doing more dramatic K-pop inspired makeup tutorials and Rania "Dr. Feel Good" is one of my favorites from May 2011. You can see I started talking through tutorials compared to just being shy and typing out text before.

Ahh, concealer. It's one of those "first baby steps" makeup products that we try out to cover up acne spots in our youth and dark under eye circles from late nights studying or, let's be fair, late weekends out in college.

Over the last several years I've tried my fair share of concealers and feel pretty happy with my arsenal of concealing tools as well as techniques to seamlessly apply them for a flawless, yet natural look. Lets go over some of the best options from all price points as well as my easy application technique!
