I've dealt with my fair share of acne issues. I've chronicled them in various articles here, here and here and yet, despite how many masks and spot treatments I try out, it never ceases. It's just something I try and deal with on an ongoing basis. Essentially, my skincare routine is a balancing game: trying to figure out the perfect mix of drying and moisturizing.

Tell us about you!

I live in Toronto—Queen East in the Brewery Lofts. I design jewelry and accessories.

I am obsessed with white: everything, from my white loft and white car, to my white cat and white bedroom. Now I'm saving up for my white beach house!

I myself have been known to have a certain affinity for facial hair and I know fellow ChickAdvisor staffer Miranda has a love for men with an undercut hairstyle. 

With that in mind, I thought maybe there were...

The other day was a rotten, no good, really terrible day for me and in an effort to perk myself up, I went into the nearest drugstore and bought myself a new mascara. Did I need it? Nope. Did I want it? You betcha. I'll be honest, I didn't really look at what I was buying, I was in a bad day haze and picked up the first thing that appealed to me. I decided to try out my new purchase the other day...

JLaw has been on a fashion roll lately. Catching Fire was just released, and she's been making the premiere rounds and showing off her couture chops. I have to admit, I was not on board the pixie train at first but with her uber chic styles she's been wearing the hair is werkin' for her. She's all sorts of sophisticated and fashion forward and I'm loving it so much I can't even pick one red carpet...

The idea of having a set list of rules for your beauty practices really appeals to me. I think it's essential to develop your own look and have a signature style. 

I recently came across these 10 beauty commandments and couldn't help but think they were on to something. I've been working on my personal list with ideas and rules to help me make the most of my look; to...
