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…

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…
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! 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…
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…
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…
Hi Amy, I’ve been having this horrid issue for a long, long, time … way before I started reading your blog (which is to say, at least 3 years ago). I’ve tried plenty of shampoos and ‘home remedies’ but they have always been sporadic cures…
Hi Amalah, My brother is getting married in October. His fiance’s sister is the maid of honor, so it is her job to organize a bridal shower, which she did very well (it’s an all-out luncheon, she’s got it figured out right down to the…
Dear Amy, I’ve researched your archived articles regarding acne and found little feedback from Accutane users. I know you suggest the Philosophy line, which I’ve tried, it made my skin go crazy! I have moderate acne which has developed over the course of the last…
Hi Amy! I’ve been sitting here trying to think of a just brilliant opening line to catch your eye and entice you to answer my question…but whatever, I give up. I couldn’t think of anything scintillating enough. ooo, but “scintillating”, that is a good word….
Hi Amy, What’s your opinion on buying special anti aging/moisturizing hand lotions versus just bothering to religiously apply a halfway decent sunscreen with a high SPF? I currently apply neither, a strategy which hasn’t boded well for my granny looking hands. I’m sort of hoping…
