Summertime is a nasty time of year for many things; mosquitoes, bad weather, and bad hair. While we might be able to live with the bugs and the bad weather, it’s the bad hair that really kills most of us women. You can look at it as a vain thing, but we prefer to look […] More
Makeup: I never leave home without it – for several reasons. The most important reason is my vanity. I don’t like to feel as if I look less than my best. I feel more comfortable in makeup, hair done and in a lovely outfit. I feel more confident, more productive and I’m in a much […] More
