For any new people to my blog here is the way it works:
Starting right now and running for the next hour, I will be answering questions and giving advice to any comments left below (on this post). Try to limit your comment to one question.
Make sure to skim through the last couple tea parties questions before deciding what to ask... one question per person please! Last time I got a lot of repeat questions so if you read through those you can get lots of answers and then ask me one that you haven't seen me answer yet, so in a way you get more than one answered!
Just like last time it will be first come, first served. I will try to answer them as best I can!
Make sure you click that little "Join this site" button on my sidebar, as shown here, in order to be able to comment! :) Talk to you soon!
Elle! I'm a huge fan of you & Blair :) Do you think you guys will ever make your way up to Toronto? you've got a ton of fans up here!
ReplyDeleteHi! I would absolutely love to - there are lots of countries that Blair and I want to visit and do meet ups in :)
DeleteDo you have any recommendations for which tea that will help me sleep better?
ReplyDeleteI love "sleepytime tea" - lots of brands make a version and you can find it at the grocery store! Anything caffeine free and calming, (I prefer camomile) is perfect for before bed. It will just help you unwind!
DeleteYogi Bedtime tea is my absolute favorite! It's chamomile but has a hint of mint and is naturally a tiny bit sweet. It's very soothing and relaxing for me.
DeleteWhat are some of your favorite fashion blogs? Hope you'll check out mine! xoxo
ReplyDeleteooh goodness I follow so many! I really like Cupcakes and Cashmere and Peace, Love, Shea :)
DeleteI don't really have a question but I just wanted to say, I've watched you and Blair for over 5 years now. Both of you girls have grown into such lovely, hardworking ladies. You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. And I'm very impressed you gave up Diet coke. Tea is where it's at!! :)
ReplyDeleteaww, thank you for your sweet comment! The diet coke thing is still hard sometimes, but I'm sticking to it!
DeleteElle! If you were to write a book about a social issue, what would it? Totes deep question!
ReplyDeleteProbably about stopping hate crimes :) Or bullying in general!
DeleteBullying/Hate crime. That's a good one. People should realize that even mere words can hurt more than sometimes physical injury. With physical injury, once the wound is healed and the pain is gone, you kinda forget. But with mean, hurtful and hateful words, you constantly remember it and you are bruised again over and over just like when you heard the first time.
DeleteDo you and Blair ever plan on moving back to Tennessee? Do you still run glitzy-glam? :)
ReplyDeleteNeither of us will probably ever live there again full time, but we go back to visit our family. And yes - Glitzy-Glam has its own staff and my mom overlooks it!
Deletewhats the best & worst part of living in LA? I've always wanted to live in CA, but not sure I want to be in such a celebrity-driven place... plus earthquakes are scary!
DeleteThe celeb thing doesn't get in the way of anything - you hardly ever see them anyway. And when you do you normally barely notice because they are just walking around like everyone else. Earthquakes are definitely scary but we haven't had one in a little while (knock on wood!!). The best? Weather, Views, the ocean AND the mountains at the same time - gorgeous, tons to do. Worst? Traffic. LOL!
DeleteWhat's your go to running errands or lounging at home outfit?
ReplyDeleteRunning errands - I wear something cute. Lounging at home - yoga pants and a tank normally :)
DeletePlease do a tutorial on makeup for a job interview! My dog Murray says hi to Mr.P-Cone! :-)
ReplyDeleteaww!! haha say hi to him for Pinecone! I'll add that to my request list :)
DeleteHey Elle! When will you be announcing your next book tour? :)
ReplyDeleteWe are kinda on it right now - we have 3 more stops in September in LA, Minneapolis, and Atlanta :)
DeleteI really want to buy a curling wand but I have no idea how much I should invest in one, do you have any recommendations?
ReplyDeleteLike a clampless one? I have a clamp one from Hot Tools that I like better than any of the clampless ones - it's so much quicker! But I love my Nume one for clampless
DeleteYeah i was thinking to buy a clampless one and I am also probably going to get one from Nume but I get confused on whether I should get the ceramic or titanium one, do you know what is best for hair? Side note.... you are awesome!
DeleteI think they are both equally good - I don't even know the benefits of titanium... but I know ceramic is good for your hair!
DeleteThank you!! This helps! Have a goodnight and rest of your tea.... if that makes sense..!... :)
DeleteI sent you a comment but I don't think it went through! Anyways I wrote that I love your videos! and I feel like in a way you're like my big sister! Haha. You should do more getting ready with me videos because I have similar coloring to you and I'm always looking for a new makeup look!
ReplyDeleteAs for my question, I'm thinking of opening a youtube channel but I'm a bit nervous! I don't want people to think I'm a bad beauty guru or something!!! and I'm nervous about the negative comments people leave on videos. How do you deal with negative comments like that?! and do you have any tips or suggestions to someone who wants to start youtubing?!
Thanks! Love ya! XXX <3
You just have to go into it knowing that you WILL get mean comments. Everyone does - theres no way around it. That being said, YouTube is amazing and you should totally do it if you are wanting to. The positives WAY outweigh the negatives! It's an amazing community :) Do it!! And if you do tweet me so I can check it out!
DeleteThanks Elle! <3 And I will!!!! :)
Deleteelle! for the estee lauder double wear, is it heat and sweatproof? is it comparable to the mac pro longwear?
ReplyDeleteI don't wear MAC foundation, so I wouldn't know, but it's marketed as a "stay in place" foundation and yes - it lasts ALL day! It's really good stuff - I love it!
Deletei know you said one question per person but im a barista at starbucks and im dying to know your favorite drink :)
ReplyDeleteHaha!! I get a tall Blonde Roast with extra room for milk and I add 1.5 splendas :)
DeleteHi Elle! I love your decor tastes! Are you going to do any more condo updates in the future?
ReplyDeleteYes!! As soon as it looks even somewhat put together I'm going to do a updated tour video - but for now, I have little posts on www.iheartyoucoffee.com! :)
DeleteWhat part of LA do you live in and do you like it there or is there a part you would eventually rather move to?
ReplyDeleteI don't want to say what part I live in for privacy reasons, but I do really love it! It has everything, and is close to places I need to go to a lot, so it's perfect. Plus, there's tons of hole in the wall places nearby that I can walk to. I probably won't move for awhile :)
Deletewhat's one thing you would wish for right now? :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have any major wishes that I can think of, but a little one would be if my condo could just be FINISHED already! I just want it to be a home already!
DeleteWhat is your absolute favorite purse that you own?
ReplyDeleteMy black and gold Chanel flap bag - such a classic!
DeleteWhat did you and Blair take up in college? :) I've been a fan of you both for years now!! Wish you guys the best ♥
ReplyDeleteI was pre-law with a minor in family studies - Blair hasn't gone to college yet!
DeleteHi Elle, if you could only shop at one beauty products store for the rest of your life, which one would you choose? (Online or brick & mortar)
ReplyDeleteSephora - hands down :)
DeleteIf you could over-night magically become a prodigy at one thing, what would it be?!
ReplyDeleteHip Hop Dancing!! :) :)
DeleteHey Elle, I was just wondering when you think you will post some more glitteratures? I'm such a fan of your book reviews and i think it would be awesome if you posted some written reviews on your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI have a big stack of books that I need to review on ellesglittergossip - I might do a few huge ones where I review a lot at a time!
DeleteWill we be seeing makeup/fashion blog posts from you anytime? Also, will you be doing any BBW hauls for the fall, maybe for FallThatGlitters?!
ReplyDeletep.s your IHeartYouCoffee blog layout inspired me to work on my own blog :3 (www.mybeautyhive.blogspot.ca)
❤
Definitely to the BBW hauls! I was just bopping around on their site actually. As for Makeup/Fashion - yes, once I start shopping again! Ever since moving into my new place I've been really careful with spending money!
DeleteYay for late night chatting & thanks for replying ^_^
DeleteFunny that you were on the BBW site, I'm always telling my friends how psychic I am LOL!
Totally understand the saving money/independent woman scene but it's such a good feeling to be on your own.
p.s: Sorry if I sounded spammy w my blog, I just really love your lifestyle blog & it inspires me <3

ReplyDeleteVogue, Marie Claire, Cosmo, Glamour, Elle :)
DeleteHi elle love your videos and blog. Soon I'll be going to your meet and great in Atlanta. My question is... What's your favorite thing about fall?
ReplyDeleteEverything! The clothing, the scents, and the weather turning colder!
Deleteelle, i always wanted to do this but i'm afraid u would just ignore it so i guess i might as well ask first. here goes, i wanted u to sign my beneath the glitter n where beauty lies copy but i live in malaysia. therefore, can i send them to u so u can sign n send them back to me? sounds horrible to u no? thanks
ReplyDeletesorry elle, i was so nervous my req up there seems so confusing when i re-read lol.. actually i was meant to say i'll send them to u via blair's p.o box :)) xoxo
DeleteAll time favourite nail polish? x
ReplyDeleteCould you do the "My First Time" video this fall??? I'm so excited about your new fall series! Fall is my second favorite season, and I love your videos, so it's all around great!
ReplyDeleteWhat are some of your best tips for eating/being healthy?
ReplyDeleteHi Elle. Ive been watching since your early days of college. I was wondering if you could take the place of any character in a current TV show or movie who would it be and why. Lots of love from rainy old Seattle. :)
ReplyDeleteHi from Vancouver Canada Elle!
ReplyDeleteLove your new site,
What are some of your favorite fragrances/perfumes right now?
I'm a perfume collector and always looking to hear what everyones favorites are! :)
- Simi
Hi elle are you guys still doing the cellairis phone covers?
ReplyDeleteI loved your eye look in your August favorites! Can you tell me what eye shadows you were using? And do you think you and Blair will ever do a meet up in Boston? (:
ReplyDeleteElle, is it weird that I totally feel like you are a long lost sister. I just love that you are a 25 year old adult and it makes me feel less silly for spending hours on YouTube watching videos!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, if you could live in any other city, which one would it be? Say New York so we can be best friends! :)
Elle, do you have any tips for new beauty bloggers?
ReplyDelete-Sisi

ReplyDelete😘 Anna
Hi Elle, I'm Sarah from New Zealand and have been watching you for years, just want to say hi and let you know that you give me hope that I will one day be successful in what I love like you and Blair are, I'm the same age as Blair so its been kind of awesome to follow her life as I journey through mine. Hope to met you one day, much love Sarah :)
ReplyDeleteHeya Elle!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fellow beauty blogger, but not as successful as you yet! :) I really want some advice on how to get my blog more popular. I mean, I've gotten over 300 views last month, but what can I do to get even more this month? Also, I'm moving into my first one bedroom apartment with my fiance. It's kinda small but affordable. We don't really have an furniture. Do you know of a brand that has affordable quality furniture? Thanks!

Hey Elle!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOU!!!! I have been watching all your videos for years and I finally get to meet you and Blair when you come to Atlanta!!! I am so excited I have been counting the days down say Hi to pinecone for me!!!
Hi Elle,
ReplyDeletewouldn't it be way more useful for you if you could just start and talk about the ingredients lists of the products you talk about in reviews and stuff like that? It sounds rethorical, but it's not! It just gets along very well with you being a pretty "scientifical" beauty guru :) Love you!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a good idea, I'm so sad I missed it but I guess you do them regularly. I will definitely try this on my beauty and fashion blog frostedplanet.blogspot.com xx
ReplyDeleteElle,
ReplyDeleteI have been watching you literally from day one! Over the past couple of weeks, I have been re-devouring your old videos...especially the one involving your saga of the icy steps and hill of your old college home. That leads me to ask you a question regarding a social life after college. Now that you are out of school, what is your number one way of meeting new people? I basically talk to every person I encounter, but I find myself concerned about making strong friendships after graduation this spring, when I will be in yet another new location, etc. Bars are overrated in my opinion, as I already work in one, hahaha.
Also, THANK YOU for existing. Actually, you will have to pass that along to Dr. and Mrs. Fowler ;)
Have a great day,
- J. :)
And yes, I realize that the comments are no longer part of the "tea party," but I figured I would ask anyhow :)
