Happy 6 Month Anniversary, Readers.

Hello, my lovelies! Can you believe it? Last night marked the 6 month anniversary (183 days because it's a leap year) of Aisles of Beauty's first post! Remember? I told that story about Mother Nature and color and makeup? Read the story here. Aisles of Beauty has really grown since then, huh? I remember when I was 12 and just wanting to start a beauty blog... I wasn't sure what I'd do... So I just dove right in. And here I am, with posts recognized all over the world, linked by other sites (I love when that happens), with my official Youtube Channel released and starting partnerships and guest posts and... Wow. It's been a pretty successful six months. 

Did you know 6 is my lucky number?

I'd like you all to know that no matter how many times I get writer's block, or how many times something goes wrong with this old Macbook, I still love you guys. You're the best reader's a teen blogger like myself could ever dream of, and just keep reading. Keep sharing my blog with your friends and sending me emails and giving me ideas. And I'll keep posting and making videos and taking pictures and buying products to review. 

Cheers to another six months!

Stay beautiful! 

Universal Beauty: Mexico

Symbol on the Mexican Flag

Hola, my lovelies! A few days ago, I got the wonderful opportunity to talk to one of Aisles of Beauty's most loyal readers: Summer from Mexico.

Summer, who is 11 years old, moved to Mexico from the states last year. She is part of the inspiration for Universal Beauty, and is therefore the first reader I thought to interview. She wrote a fantastic journal entry for all of you to read about the fashion and beauty scene in Mexico City. 

With our new PDF sharing technology, you can read Summer's journal entry right here on the post! Just read, and scroll down over the entry to read the next page. You can also zoom in and out to make the text bigger and smaller. Enjoy!





And remember, if you want to be a part of Universal Beauty too, just email Aisles of Beauty! Aislesofbeauty@gmail.com with subject Universal Beauty. Include your name, age, where you're from, and why you think your entry would be interesting and unique.

Stay beautiful!

NEW FEATURE: Universal Beauty

Beauty is Universal - Let's Share It!

Hello, my lovelies! Lately I've noticed Aisles of Beauty is getting an exceptional number of views from all around the world. People in Russia, Mexico, Switzerland, Greece, Sweden, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada have been reading Aisles of Beauty just this week alone.

Is that not amazing? It made me realize how big our world actually is, and how something as simple as makeup and fashion can connect us. I want all of our international readers to feel included and connected.

That's why I went to work creating a new Aisles of Beauty feature called Universal Beauty. Universal Beauty is a way for our international readers to share what fashion and beauty is like where they are from. Our international readers, and even readers from the states can connect and share what makes their country, state, or city unique. This is an amazing learning opportunity for everyone; let's wish Universal Beauty success!

Wherever you are from, send Aisles of Beauty an email! Just email aislesofbeauty@gmail.com with the subject Universal Beauty. Tell me your name, age, where you're from, and what makes fashion and beauty where you are unique. Hopefully I can interview you via the web, and your story can be featured in Universal Beauty! Keep checking back for Universal Beauty updates!

Wherever you're from, stay beautiful!

Entering the Crazy, Colorful World of Makeup

World of Color - Disney World

I'd like to open this blog with a story every artist must hear... And it all begins on one dull day in the beginning of time. Young Mother Nature was sitting around, quite bored indeed. There was nothing to do, nothing to see. She decided to draw little doodles on our planet, which at the time, was just a blank canvas. A few plots of land and sea here and there, that's all. She sketched beautiful mountains, and canyons, and forests, and made the sun rise and set each morning and every evening with a little flipbook animation. But something was missing. Something to complete her painting. Young Mother Nature played around with a few ideas for a bit, and soon enough, created color. Vibrant reds, rich blue hues, shades of pink and purple, oranges, greens, and yellows. Some dark, some light. Some faint and shy, while others burst into the senses.


Mother Nature swirled colors into the sky and below the surface. Eventually, humans learned to take these colors and make even more beauty out of them. Clothing, art, even food were given beautiful tints and hues. And finally, we created makeup. A way to put these colors on our bodies and make living art. A way to enhance the beauty we were born with, and give our faces a much deeper purpose. Expression. Creativity. The possibilities are endless!


Ever since it's creation, the crazy, colorful world of makeup has grown more and more complex as time has gone by. Now there's dozens of brands, scents, and ways to add color to your face. There are intricacies as far as what brush to "paint" with, what pigment looks best, what mood and theme you want to portray. Your own face is your canvas, and it is a canvas you will grow to know so well, the most beautiful of artwork will come from it.


This beauty rant has a purpose, believe it or not. This is a folktale that has inspired the creation of Aisles of Beauty. The Aisles of Beauty is a spinoff of your traditional beauty blog. It's not made for 18-45 year olds looking for the best concealer or wrinkle reducing night cream. This beauty blog is designed specifically for preteens looking for guidance in the wonderful world of makeup. There are questions to be answered, mysteries to be solved, and stories to share, so what better place to do so than here? Welcome to the Aisles of Beauty!


Your Dedicated Blogger and Future BFFL,


Autumn =)
