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.

Your skin is like a plant. You have to water it. Make sure it's hydrated, not just squeaky clean.

You can make a million excuses for why something didn't go well, but ultimately, just fix it and get on with it. Be a solutions person.

Sunscreen, in the world of beauty, is the ultimate in adulting.

In beauty, there's this idea of this perfect picture, and I think, 'How about being present in the now, and a little messy?'

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.

There's so much pressure on women to have it all together. There's always this 'next, next, next.' I hope Glossier encourages women to be O.K. wherever you are. Just, everyone, relax!

Freedom and confidence are two different things, in my book. Confidence is overrated - it can be faked, whereas freedom is fearlessness.

If you look dull, the easiest thing to do is wash your face with water, and immediately you look refreshed.

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.

Will Try Think

The ideal intern is committed, creative, organized, ambitious, independent, and able to crack a smile, whether meeting a celebrity or folding socks.

People often ask me, 'How do you go about choosing who to feature on Into The Gloss?' And I've never had a great answer. Ultimately, I think the #1 thing that draws me to someone is their sense of freedom.

Emily Weiss

Great Freedom You

Everyone says to hydrate on the plane, but I don't.

I think reality television has made the fashion industry and the beauty industry, any industry - frankly, just life - it has made life seem much different than it really is.

We're not telling you that you need a concealer. We're providing a concealer in case you want it. We're trying to give you the tools to be able to make whatever decision you want.

I knew that I wanted to intern at 'Teen Vogue' from the moment the first issue hit newsstands. Luckily, the team at Polo Ralph Lauren, where I interned during high school, really believed in me and arranged for an interview with the editors.

'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

Which Well Vent

I always thought 'Into The Gloss' would be successful, but I didn't really know what my definition of success was.

Emily Weiss

Success Would Ways

I like a semi-stressful massage - one where I can really feel something being worked out.

Emily Weiss

Work Age Worked

My wardrobe falls into two camps most of the time: either very monochromatic and tailored or really vintagey, with '30s and '40s-style long floral dresses. I don't buy that much, so every time I invest in something new, it has to elevate what I have hanging in my closet.

Emily Weiss

I've had such an inspiring and formative journey in my career.

Emily Weiss

My first lip balms were Bonne Bell Lip Smackers, which, correct me if I'm wrong, sometimes had little bracelets attached to the caps-meaning your lip balm could idly dangle from your wrist like a charm bracelet when not in use, not unlike some iPhone accessories.

Emily Weiss

Into The Gloss is buoyed by the people on it, the people who read it and discuss it, and the people who work on it.

Emily Weiss

I just have to stop biting my nails. I've been on and off that bandwagon so many times. I feel like it's going to be a lifelong struggle.

Emily Weiss

I've had some not-great experiences with laser hair removal, probably because I haven't done what they told me.

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

A huge number of women are shopping for beauty products based on recommendations from friends, and we really look to be that friend.

Emily Weiss

We want to demystify and present things in real talk. That's why Into the Gloss struck a nerve. Glossier is not much different. We're providing this rich environment around products that help consumers understand their benefit.

Emily Weiss

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

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

I eat out alone a lot.

Emily Weiss

Ultimately, we're making and selling a consumer good that needs to work and that needs to make customers happy.

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

With 'Into The Gloss' and now Glossier, the reason it was successful was because there were so many like-minded women out there who were also dissatisfied with their beauty experiences.

Emily Weiss

We incorporate a lot of natural ingredients into our Glossier products, like sweet almond oil, which is great at getting moisture deep into the skin.

Emily Weiss

Our message has always transcended borders and cultures and is central to who we are as a brand.

Emily Weiss

My brain puts baths in the same category as yoga: it'd be 'nice' to relax for an hour, but I just want a 10-minute, high-impact workout; get in, get out. Showers are my cardio.

Emily Weiss

Glossier is not about throwing out everything you're using. If you want to keep using your retinols, your SPFs, of course you should continue.

Emily Weiss

I like to get rid of things; I don't collect many things. But I do keep great photography and art books.

Emily Weiss

This is hard to admit, but historically, I haven't worn sunscreen. I know - not good.

Emily Weiss

Beauty is very intimate.

Emily Weiss

In our product development cycle, we ask and listen to our customer about what she wants.

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

I must admit that self-tanner is one beauty arena I've been hesitant to explore, let alone fully embrace.

Emily Weiss

Over the years of running Into The Gloss, I began to see a gap in the way beauty companies were creating products and marketing them to women. There wasn't one brand that really spoke to girls like me, who created products for real life. So we set out to create that brand with Glossier.

Emily Weiss

My December is typically one big, sweaty 'wintry mix' blur, not a punch-laden, heartwarming mixer.

Emily Weiss

I read every single comment that comes in.

Emily Weiss

I'm a lover and consumer of beauty.

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.
