Because My Laptop Battery is About to Die ThisVerySecondWhoops
by Amalah
I am writing this week’s column on the plane, while on my way to BlogHer. Whooo! Dedication! Multi-tasking! The guy in the seat next to me repeatedly whacking my elbows and reading over my shoulder! (HI. WHAT. STOP LOOKING AT MY BOOBS.) This also means, however, that I had to select questions that I could [...]
Because Handbags and Babies and Panties, Oh My!

Dear Almighty Amalah, I love your blog and I share your love for Coach handbags. Luckily I have received two over the years as gifts.

I broke down and visited our friendly Nordtrom cosmetic counter and purchased [...]

by Amalah
Amalah is traveling to New York City this week on a top-secret anti-leggings guerrilla mission. Or possibly she is just drinking a lot of wine. Either way, this week’s column features some of her favorite questions from past Smackdowns. Dear Amalah, I don’t know if I’m the only fingers-applying-foundation person to think this after reading [...]
