Some parts of this great country are experiencing pleasant, mild weather, but the rest of us are under an oppressive blanket of snow, ice and subzero temperatures, dreaming of warmer climates and trading in our snow boots for sandals. This time of year is the nadir of winter. Everyone wants the snow to end and […]
Big, full, dramatic eyebrows are a thing now. If this was 1998, Cara Delevigne’s brows would be waxed within an inch of their life. Lily Collins has brows that are as lush as her father Phil’s melodies. The Kardashian Klan’s eyebrows defy most logic, threaded to perfectly arched perfection. I’d love to see what they look […]

My roommate was the first person to tell me I had a mustache. She sat me down on the floor of our apartment and studied my face, her finger jabbing at my upper lip. “Just let me take care of that,” she said, her face very close to mine. “I can’t believe you don’t wax […]
