Now, when I go out with my friends, they don’t notice and neither do I–it’s a non-issue. I also starting working out with an actual routine, and I stopped drinking almost two years ago. I don’t know if shorter hair actual made me look more professional, but I felt different. When I started at Vox I decided to cut my hair–I go to Fox and Jane–and since then I’ve only been using the Ouai Texturizing Spray. Somatic sex educator Court Vox explains how understanding your erotic blueprint can help break that spell. I just use a tiny bit on the outside of my eyelids. Shame around sex can ruin a man’s experiences in the bedroom. I also recently graduated from eyeliner to eyeshadow–I like the Urban Decay Naked Palette, because a friend of mine showed up to dinner looking fabulous, and I had her send me her a step-by-step guide via text. On my lips I’ll use Dream Matte Mousse with a little lip balm, and then I’ll put a little Cherry Balm Dotcom on my cheeks. I like this Flawless Finish Foundation from Elf because it seems easier than concealer, and it covers any pimples. My entire makeup routine is from the drugstore. Finally, maybe once a month I’ll do the Mega Greens Galaxy Pack or a blackhead mask from Peach and Lily. Then I use a super simple Neutrogena SPF that’s very lightweight and doesn’t make me break out. I get it at Peach and Lily, which I love. Open the container pour some of the pink powder into your hand or a small bowl (Boamah-Acheampong recommends half of a teaspoon) mix with your choice of water, rosewater, or honey and apply the mask evenly across your face.

Then I use this snail repair cream moisturizer a friend of mine recommended, and it really changed how I deal with my skin. An added benefit: Skin Nutrition can be personalized.

First is this Be the Skin Botanical Nutrition Power Toner, then a serum or an essence– Glossier Super Bounce or a rose essence. Really though–I do not have naturally great skin but I do try really hard to take care of it, as opposed to just covering it up. I’m sure you can see how that applies to The Short Version…but I think it also applies to beauty. My dad used to tell me if you’ve done the work and have good, useful ideas, you don’t need to dress things up. People will always disagree with one of the sides, but I’m trying really hard to faithfully describe what a smart person on each side would say–that’s difficult. There’s no bullshit, it’s just very clear explanations.

I started a newsletter and soon-to-be video series that breaks down what’s happening, why it’s important to know, and then summarizes each side in parallel. Because I’ve been interested in politics for as long as I can remember, my friends always used to ask me for the 'short version' of major political debates. 'I spend all my time working on three things–I'm the Brand Manager at Vox, I model, and I run my own political news project called The Short Version.
