You’re at Week 26 of your pregnancy. This week’s focus is on Nursery Gear. What you need to buy before the baby arrives and what can wait for later.
Amy, HELP. So here’s my dilemma. I live in London and have been lucky enough to be invited to the Buckingham Palace Garden Party this year. July 22, to be precise. Which suddenly seems very soon. I got the dress sorted freakishly easily – saw…
Dear Amalah, I have a bit of a fashion problem… and who better to ask than you! You are magical! Yes! I scanned through the archives, but I can’t seem to find anyone with this particular issue. Honestly, I’ve never met another human being with…
Your Baby: Weighs about 1 1/2 pounds and is 13 1/2 inches long. Is growing more hair, with a distinctive color and texture and everything. You: Have a uterus the size of a soccer ball. Have probably noticed a decent increase in your belly size…
Oh Amy, I’ve been engaged a month and I can already tell my family and I are not going to be getting along until the wedding is over. My fiancé’s mom is amazing and told me (and meant it) that I could do whatever I…
Hi there, I was reading a post where you invited readers to confess their beauty secrets. Maybe you can help me with my problem because it seems like I have the worst version of a problem a lot of women have. About 5 years ago…
You’re 24 weeks pregnant and planning for your glucose screening test and making your baby registry. We’ve got advice and thoughts on both.
Dear all-knowing Amalah, I promise that this is not another SPF question. It just requires some SPF talk. For several years, I lived up north. The summers were short, hot, humid, and hazy. I used Neutrogena’s Dry-Touch Sunblock (SPF 55) every morning and found it…
Hi Amy, I’ve found myself in a strange situation and I have no idea what to do. First, some background: I have a (summer) job. As a result, I have a boss. Let’s call her Emily. Emily was once married, but got divorced when she…
Hi Amy! Whenever I put on eye shadow I always end up with tiny specks of it scattered under my eyes. And around the corners of my eyes. And well, just sort of everywhere. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong to cause this fallout…
You’re 23 weeks pregnant and we’re discussing pregnancy anxiety. Also, continuing our baby registry checklist.
Not just your average cut-and-paste update-y job here, folks, if you’ll indulge me by reading on. One extra-fascinating update, one request for advice as one girl’s quest to maybe possibly get knocked up enters Chapter Two, and one email that proves that you guys are…
OH, wise advice giver, save the face of this lady. Lately, I have developed adult acne. I am currently on all kinds of wonderful prescribed medications to help combact the enemy. Do you think monthly facials would help? I take really good care of my…
Congratulations, you’re pregnant! And now your bras don’t fit anymore. Here’s what you need to do.
What baby gear items should you buy now or put on your baby registry and what baby gear can wait until your baby is older?
Hey Amalah! I just had a baby back in February, and I’m in sore need of a wardrobe update. I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that there is no one-stop-shop for cool clothes that a) don’t bare your butt crack and b) don’t look…
FUNERAL DRESS ETIQUETTE Dear Amy, I know you get a zillion emails, so I doubt you would be able to get to this one in time to even solve this particular conundrum for me, but it’d also be helpful to get your advice for the…

So my wedding is in almost exactly one month, and I went to make an appointment to have my pre-wedding waxing… and my salon has closed down. Overnight. Totally cleared out. Huge, posh spa & salon, all gone. Phone disconnected, website taken down. Like it…
