Today I offer you a menagerie of beauty tips to ponder as you get ready for weekend! And if you have been wondering about the back story on Ashlee Simpson‘s nose job, I have some details to share. I also discuss how I got started in the styling business, how to control oil and which facials I like to get.

Hey Kim, I love the show… very interesting. My family is kinda like yours except my mom isn’t as cool. I’m hailing from the Bahamas and I wanted to know how you got your start as a stylist?

I started off styling for my mom and Bruce when they were filming infomercials. I fell in love with it and built it from there. It’s all about reputation. It’s hard work and if you are good, good news travels fast and you will always work! You need to start off being an assistant to a stylist to learn the ropes.

Hey Kim, I love all of the beauty tips you give! Thank you! I do have one question… Do you by any chance have any tips or advice on how to control oily skin? I get really irritated sometimes because i put my make-up on and about 30 minutes later my face is really shiny and I feel like my make-up is coming off. Please let me know what you think. I would really appreciate it.

I would try to use oil free makeup and powder. Also carry blot papers that you can use occasionally to control oil throughout the day. Here’s another awesome-yet-funny tip: You can use toilet seat covers to blot your face. It’s basically the same material as blot papers and their free! Ha ha!

Hey Kim… When I was young I had a nice cute nose but as I started
growing up my nose started to have a big bump on it. None of my family
members have it except for me. I’m 20 years old now and I really want
to tget rid of this ugly bump on my nose. It makes my nose look soo
much bigger. I researched on rhinoplasty, but I’m not so confident on
where to do it. I heard it is much better to do it in the states but I
live in Montreal, Canada, and I’m not sure if they are good or not an I
don’t know anyone that has had rhinoplasty. I don’t want my parents to
know. Only me and my boyfriend know. Could you please tell me where
would you recommend me to do it? I really want to get this done soon.
Thanks a lot, Kim. XOXO
P.S. Your nose is perfect. I would LOVE to have your nose.

Thanks for the compliment, Nevra! I have done my research too,
actually. I have decided that I’m too scared to do it… but the Dr.
who did Ashlee Simpson’s nose is…
