We’ve all been there: You’re in a bind. Your hair looks more like a mop than a human’s head. You have one hour and only one place is still taking appointments for the evening. Leap of faith, right? Go spontaneity! Big mistake. Huge. Well, this was me on Friday. Visible Changes was all booked, so … Continue reading
Hi there… are you new here? If you are, you’re extremely intrigued by this headline. If you’re not new, then you know that: a. I love reviewing my subscription services and that we here at It’s Not Hou love a good poem. Well, I’m bringing’ poetry back, yeah. I am obsessed with this month’s BirchBox so so … Continue reading
I’m learning more and more about Ipsy… and I love it all. God bless Michelle Pham. If you go to the website and log in to your account to see the products you got to review them, buy them or learn more, you’ll find that there are more products than just the five items you get. … Continue reading
Here’s the dilemma. You’re fresh out of college, where your wardrobe consisted of free college Tees, shorts, yoga pants and going out dresses. You *maybe* have a couple outfits from your time as an intern—the rare blazer and conservative heel. But yeah. Ultimately, yours is a pretty casual closet. Then REJOICE! You got the job. … Continue reading
What I’ve realized with Birchbox and StitchFix and now… Ipsy (yay!) is that the more you review, the more you earn in points to buy things! I support free money/credits. But here’s the thing.

Like, this haul for instance… the Paula’s Choice Clinical Treatment Cloths, that treat non-face acne. Granted, it’s not something I would have ever thought to buy, but that’s because I don’t have the … Continue reading
OK, it’s official. I need to cancel my Stitch Fix. But, I’m doing it for a few reasons, NONE OF WHICH are because Stitch Fix is awful. It’s not. It’s amazing. And I love that it exists.

That bird is Twitter. Side rant on Twitter: This is the social media for marketing. Think about it! Where else can you effing TAG DIRECTLY to someone famous/a store/anyone.

I have a love-hate relationship with email newsletters. I absolutely love getting my morning news from The Skimm and “the dish from the world’s most powerful women” from Fortune’s The Broadsheet. Also, my Friday inbox couldn’t get any better with Buzzfeed’s “This Week in Cats.” Oh and then of course, It’s Not Hou It’s Me is the rose of … Continue reading
