Hi, your blog is awesome, and I’m only 16! I have a question, I hear people talking about their hair “blow out” or something like that, but I have no clue what it is. Could you explain it? -not even going to try to make…
(I feel the need to confess that today’s column is being written in our basement, which is currently the only area of the house that’s NOT undergoing renovations and does not have plastic draped floor to ceiling. This would be okay, except that we never…
Amalah! I need the help of your wise, beautiful readers. It’s not for me, it’s for my 22-weeks-pregnant-with-twins sister. She moved down to Texas last year, and recently got her first haircut since moving. She told the stylist, “I want to keep it long, and…
Confession: When I answered this question, I did not base my recommendation for buying “a good set of tweezers” (translation! expensive!) on personal experience. My tweezers are both ancient and total crap. I swiped them from my mom when I left for college and have…
The long term of effects of pregnancy should only be the kid, right?
Dearest Amy, Ever since that post years and years ago when you mentioned Jason bought you a beautiful bag to cheer you up, I’ve been coveting Coach. Yesterday I visited the nearby outlets and stumbled across a Coach Outlet, where I agonized over whether to…
Hi Amy, So here’s a dumb one: When using sunscreen daily, how often do you apply it? Do you just put it on in the morning and wear it all day, or do you have to reapply every hour? Or is there some entirely different…
Hi Amy: I have another sunscreen issue to ask about if you’re not too sick of the subject. Sunscreen is really important and I’m glad you take it seriously. Here’s my problem though. Any SPF higher than about 12 or 14 (either standalone or in…
A postpartum mom is dealing with a common problem: baby fine hair regrowth. She’s seeking advice on how to manage this change in hair growth.
We have a few suggestions to help you feel more comfortable in clothes when your postpartum body gives you the gift of the “belly pooch.”
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…
Amalah, My problem is that I am white – of the may-need-sunglasses-if-you-look-in-my-direction white. While that is not a problem in itself (no tanning for me, fake or otherwise – very much against my Australian culture), makeup for my face tends to be problematic. A light…
I was wondering if you could tell me the best colors for bridesmaids to wear when they are all 2x and bigger in size. Thank You, Evelyn Not to put too fine a point on it, but have you considered asking your bridesmaids what color…
We’re doing something a little different this week for a variety of rather boring reasons (but mostly to accomodate for my spectacular laziness), and spreading the questions out over a few days instead of posting one massive novel-like column on Wednesdays. And yeah, I KNOW,…
Happy Monday, everybody. Say hello to Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Today Sarah is going to demonstrate one of the most popular looks out there for evening eye makeup: the smoky eye. It’s sexy, it’s dramatic…and it’s also easy to screw up and go right past “smoky”…
OPRAAAAAH!
If you publicly admit to trying to start your family, then have trouble conceiving, it’s good to have a plan to cope with the questions you’ll get afterwards.
I have fine hair, shoulder-length, with layers. It is pretty hard to style, and I am allergic to a lot of products, including the ones that say hypoallergenic, etc. My stylist suggested that I get it colored, even though I am fine with my current…
Big move, flat hair.
