I'm wondering if there are any blogs, RSS feeds, youtube channels, or other sources of information you like to go to for learning about beauty, skincare, makeup, fashion, etc.

I found this recommendation: https://old.reddit.com/r/muacjdiscussion/comments/6q80gf/where_else_do_you_go_to_read_about_beauty/dkvqzc3/

For me, I'm a big fan of Lab Muffin's youtube channel (and she has a book now!)

Wanted to see what others read and how they educate themselves?

I also recently enjoyed this article from NPR's Life Kit on nail care:

EDIT: oh, and some subreddits have excellent wikis and aggregated links and resources

in particular I have benefited from the curly hair community on Reddit:

the Curly Girl Guide changed my life

that makes sense, you already "stick out" in a sense and can't conform as easily to social expectations, so why not lean into it - the alienation you experience leaves you less motivated to cater to social pressures

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense 💜

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
