Once upon a time, I called my best friend to tell her about the terrible day I'd had. You see, as a beauty content creator, I had received an exciting new mascara in the mail that day and excitedly shared it on my social media without reading the press release that very clearly said 'UNDER EMBARGO' in bold letters at the top.
If a product is under embargo, it basically means that the 'general public' aren't allowed to know about this fancy new product because it isn't available to purchase in stores yet. So I had broken the rules and then had a very cross brand manager chasing me and scolding me for my grave error.
My best friend, who is a nurse doing a Very Important Job, listened to me before telling me she had also had a bad day. Her bad day, and my bad day... not even on the same scale, it turns out.
All things aside, I know that I'm not changing the world (or people's lives like she is!), but I do think that there's plenty of room for entertainment; we all need to be cheered up and given a good distraction in our days with fun or frivolous things. So whether that's through my humbling and humiliating #mascaragate story, or a damn good product recommendation on theYou Beauty podcast you'll remember for the next time you're wandering past the Myer beauty counters, I take that role very seriously.
So here's a glimpse into what an 'average' day actually looks like as an extremely serious beauty podcast host and content creator.
