Because…Blow Out!
Amy, I just recently had a spa day with friends to celebrate a milestone in the world of hair. Yes, you got it, I had a foot of hair cut off and am donating it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths which gives wigs to women who…

Amy, My question pertains to fall clothing and when exactly a full-on switch should be made to fall clothing/fabrics/accessories over the current summery ones being used. I’m assuming – but this is where I need help – that it depends on the actual temperature of…
Experiencing anxiety while pregnant can be worrisome — but it’s also completely normal. The first step in managing your pregnancy blues is to talk about them.
Don’t forget, we’re spreading out the questiony goodness this week, so each question will be its very! own! entry! Yesterday’s question can be found here, while tomorrow’s question only exists IN THE FUTURE, like, whoa, man. WHOA. Dear Amalah, First of all, the baby of…
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,…
Before we get to this week’s questions, I have a small public service announcement: There’s a rumor flying around via email and message boards that Bloomingdale’s is getting ready to launch their own line of cosmetics, and is temporarily offering the entire line at eyeslipsface.com…
I am extremely pleased to report that we have an entire ARMY of newly-minted AlphaFoxyMamas out there, standing by to assist you in all your beauty queries. I wanted a panel and lo, I now have a LEGION. People, I have MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. I have…
Hi Amy, Cankles, big feet, and cold toes – that’s me from the knee down (or mid-thigh, it’s tough to tell). Zappo’s is lovely when you have a clue what you’re looking for but I am so terribly terribly inept at this whole thing. Tell…
Today, I want to take you on an extra-special journey through the Mind of Amy, as I demonstrate my typical thought process as I read through a typical question. (Bold text is our intrepid question-asker-person, while everything in italics and parentheses is mine, as you…
Amy, Ok, a few months ago I purchased the Two Faced Box of Chocolates and I LOVE it. Not only are the colors awesome but they all smell like chocolate. How can you go wrong!? Anyway, my main dilemma is that while I love these…
Hi Amy, I wrote you AGES ago asking about how to get a Coach bag on discount, and then school kicked in and I promptly forgot to check back on your site for the advice. So imagine my surprise when I went back the other…
Hi Amy, I’m a 21 year old woman in college in Washington D.C. I’m currently dating a 23-year-old man who is working at a media company in the D.C. area. This is the first relationship for both of us. We’ve been together for 15 months…
BUT FIRST: I’ve gotten quite a few requests for clarification about the Not Curly But Sort-Of Bendy hairstyle I described two weeks ago. For some reason, the brilliant bit of prose: “don’t open the “flappy”thing” confused a couple people. I mean, really. Anyway, funny story!…
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,…
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. However, that was several years ago and they are showing signs of wear, particularly in the bindings. A friend told…
Dear Amalah, Recently you said that one of the best ways to look like you have it all together, is to get your eyebrows done. I gulped when I read that, for while I spend hundreds of dollars on my hair, I have the worst…
DISCLAIMER: This week’s column was written while your intrepid bossy-type advice person was at the beach, where she (like always) wore no makeup, spent days in the same tank top and didn’t deep condition. Because she likes to believe that she magically transforms into a…
Goddess of Advice, Dearest Amalah, I have a question regarding etiquette. I know that you recently left the office world where co-workers were a few feet a way and you are now learning the life of the freelancer, with fellow bloggers an IM away. But…
Dearest Amalah, So the 13 months of sleep deprivation (that came with the baby) and spotty effort at face care (who has the time to shower, much less wash your face twice a day) has finally started taking its toll on my face. I broke…
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…
