Andrew Dahling 's beauty awakening began at age 8, when he was left home alone for the first time: He snuck into his mom's makeup bag, and later got caught trying (unsuccessfully) to rub off waterproof mascara. While his parents were "gagged and shocked" when they found him, Dahling remembers that moment as the beginning of his beauty path. "When I was a kid, I went through this era where all I drew were women with tons of makeup and big lips and big eyes," he tells Fashionista. "Glamour and women always fascinated me, and I was enamored by the world of makeup, hair and fashion from an early age." Andrew Dahling.

Hi, Fashionista readers! Where do I even start? At a time when the media landscape is changing daily, with print magazines closing and digital teams shrinking, I know how rare it is to have a new job. If you saw "The Devil Wears Prada 2," you got a peek inside our new reality. But I'm here as Fashionista's new deputy content editor, and there are a ton of exciting things happening.

My favorites were Lucky, Jane, Seventeen, CosmoGirl, Teen Vogue and so many others that sadly no longer exist in print. I also grew up at a time when movies glamorized magazine careers. Films like "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and "13 Going ...

"Longevity" is the latest buzzword on every wellness brand's lips (and marketing materials). As so-called biohackers use high-tech wearables to optimize their routines with and everyday consumers look for better ways feel healthier, the $6.8 trillion + global wellness industry is entering a new era of longevity-focused solutions. Transdermal vitamin patches are stepping into the spotlight as a result. Of course, transdermal patches — or stickers that gradually diffuse preloaded substances into the user’s bloodstream — are nothing new. You've likely heard of nicotine patches, which were first developed in the 1980s to help people quit smoking, or birth control patches, which have been an approved hormonal contraceptive since 2001. Transdermal drug delivery goes back millennia (think medicinal plants and oils), but the stick-on patches we know today stem from the first iteration approved in 1979 to treat motion sickness.
