A loyal reader trusts Amalah with an embarrassing true skincare problem.
Dearest Amalah, I work an irregular schedule, with shifts ranging anywhere from 7 AM to 11 PM, with a 30 minute commute. I just cannot bring myself to wake up early enough to shower in the morning. My hair is long-ish and extremely thick and…
You know, sometimes when I’m writing specific product-related entries here, I annoy myself with my complete inability to write a declarative sentence. I tend to grey-area things up with a lot of wishy-washy language, since I’m hesitant to make bold claims about something being the…
Hi Amy! I just been asked to interview for an internship I’ve been dreaming about, so naturally that means that I have officially started the process of totally freaking out in a major way. I have to sort out writing samples and references and figure…
When you want sun, style and…easy access to le boobs.
Dear Amy, I have recently decided that: A – I am getting old B – My skin has always sucked C – Well, I want better skin now – that’s all. I’ve never had much of a “skin care routine.” I have been using random…
It’s the most. Wonderful time. Of the year!
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…
With the trend for heels without stockings being ubiquitous now, we’re sure there’s an increase in the incidence of those pesky blisters. What’s a woman to do?
Dear Ms. Amalah, Since having two beautiful babes in the last 3 years, lets just say I haven’t exactly deemed my wardrobe a priority. Now, while trying to lose the baby weight I’ve decided it’s time to get some good staples in my closet, starting…
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…
Hi Amy! What do you do with products you tried but did not like? Or products that worked for awhile, but not long enough to use all of? My current product graveyard is a drawer- I can’t bring myself to throw out some of these…
Do you use crystal boob-size ball, or something?
Hi Amy, Usually I’m pretty good at figuring out what my body needs–what my skin can handle, what kind of shampoo to buy, etc. After all, I’ve had it forever, right? But disaster has recently struck. In the last three weeks, my hair has gone…
Hey! I have an idea! Now that summer is basically over, let’s talk about sunless tanners. (Good one, Amy. You jackass.) So I deftly avoided the whole topic all summer, mostly because I hate sunless tanners. All of them. And I have tried all of…
Hi. I’m having a hair crisis. After consulting several friends, one of whom pointed me to your blog, I have determined that somehow I have stressed my thin, typically healthy, but now very dry and broken hair. They all think it is the ceramic flat…
Guest blogger Isabel of holaisabel journeys to the Bottom of the Drugstore Bargain Bin in search of the perfect lip gloss.
Dear Amy, Long-time reader, first-time questioner here. Recently, with the gas prices and the environment and whatever else I should care about, I started taking mass transit to and from work. This requires me either to walk from my house to the bus stop or…
Dear Amy, I’ve gone back and forth about sending this question in — it just might be the dumbest one ever, but I’m driving myself crazy here and I know I’m missing an obvious solution. I wear my hair in ponytails a lot. To the…
Dear Amy – I have a shoe problem! It begins with this bridesmaid dress. WTF, yes? But wait, there’s more! It’s in NAVY and pink. Ugh. NAVY!! The real problem is what sort of shoe do I wear with a chiffony navy dress, complete with…
