I’ll be the first to admit that I’m really looking forward to getting wrinkles. Honestly, since I was a little girl I’ve dream about having white hair that I pile onto the top of my head and a face covered in happy wrinkles. That being said, I’m not sure I want wrinkles today (except for [...]

The long days of summer are here; and summer in Dallas means bare skin, sundresses, sandals and sweet tea.   With all of that exposed skin, mani-pedis are a must.  On Thursday, I spent some time at one of favorite places to get all dolled-up for the season, Plano’s Polished Nail Spa.  While I was there, I spent [...]

I bought some more nail polish.
I know, I know, it’s literally only been two weeks since my big beauty confession, but I couldn’t help myself. Truth be told, I actually bought two other bottles of polish a couple days ago—one, a cross between Chanel Jade and Nouvelle Vague, the other a too-bright lavender (more [...]

Vanity and the quest for visual perfection have been the buzz topics du jour this week.  On Tuesday, the Associated Press ran a story about Mariah Carey going make-up free for her role in the independent film “Precious”, due out November 6th.  The article seemed well timed, as the following day Oprah sat down with [...]

 
Scarlett Johansson
Dear Miss A,
