Because I Have Already Solved the World’s Foundation Problems
by Amalah
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 and on paper we’re the perfect couple. He treats me [...]
Because Nobody Else Wants to Discuss Your Hair As Much As I Do
by Amalah
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!

Anyway, I’ve finally found a moisturizer I like and things are going grand. Except is still seems like I’m getting a lot of dryness right around [...]
Because Babies & Purses Are Pretty Much the Only Things I Know Stuff About
by Amalah
Hi Amy, I had a baby about four months ago. Now I’m stuck in the “I can’t wear my old clothes except for a few stretchy sweat pants and one pair of cords and one pair of my pre-five-month maternity pants that I won’t give up” place. What can you do? I don’t want to [...]
