Love this.

In all seriousness, I want to take a moment address the FTC guidelines regulating blogger endorsements and testimonials that go into effect today. From the second I started working at NonSociety, I felt that total and complete transparency - with regards to everything, not just financial compensation - was extremely, extremely important not just because it’s the law (or was going to be the law), but because I think it’s the right thing to do. If I was sent a free sample of a product I’m writing about, I want you to know that. Similarly, if I post a shot of myself in a fancy restaurant that I was only able to go to because my parents (or whoever) took me, I’ll let you know that, too, because I’m completely uninterested in putting one over on you about any aspect of my life. I don’t want you wondering what’s true and what’s made up (or embellished), because if you can’t trust me, I’m failing to do what I set out to do, which is provide real, valuable information that you can use

So the short answer is that I’m going to keep doing what I’ve been doing (disclosing compensation of any kind either with a short blurb or a “sponsored post” button), but I want you to know that you’re always welcome to email me at jordan@nonsociety.com with any questions or concerns.

That’s all! Happy Tuesday.

WEBSITES TO HELP YOU CONTINUE THAT DISCONTINUED HUE

Don’t you just hate it, your favorite makeup shade is terminated with no hope to bring it back from the dead. Here are two websites that will help you resurrect that color you can’t live with out:

  • ThreeCustom.com: This site allows you to click through a ginormous database chock full of discontinued makeup. Expect to find not only old lipstick shades, but also blushes, shadows, and bronzers.
  • Giella.com: Let’s you mail in a blob full of color for them to work on or you can custom design a shade from scratch. I’d really love to engineer my very own signature red lipstick using this site.

On my wedding day, I wore Vincent Longo Fleur de Flirt, which is the PERFECT natural pink (for my coloring, at least). If they ever discontinue the shade, you better believe that I’ll be contacting one of the above companies.

Since this Gap hat (which comes in other very cute colors) did not come off my head the entire time I was in Ohio (and see? I told you I spent all my time on that swing), I decided to peruse the Gap site to see what other hats I might want to stockpile for the cold months. 

Here are my picks:

Fair Isle Trapper hat (want want want…for boys, but so what?)

Furry hat (for kids, but wish they made it in me-size)
