My Struggle to Age Gracefully: How Keeping Things in Perspective Helps to Keep Me Sane. Well, Sorta.
In terms of beauty, I peaked at 26. Or so that's what I thought at the time. I remember totally freaking out on my 27th birthday, convinced that I was officially "old" and that my best years were behind me. Of course now, what feels like eons later, I look back at photos of my nubile, wrinkle-free self and wonder what the heck I was thinking. Youth, as they say, is wasted on the young. When I…

As someone who's spent the majority of her life hidden under a mop of long curls, this is not a decision I arrived at easily. Recent developments in the hair department however, have made me want to throw caution to the wind and go for it. You see, sigh, my formerly…

The other day I bared my soul and copped to the fact that there are some products that I spend a lot of money on . And, in so doing, I may have scandalized some of you, but I'm here to redeem myself by sharing some of the reasonably priced treasures I keep in my beauty arsenal alongside their well-heeled counterparts. As I pointed out before, what's deemed splurge-worthy to one woman may be…
