Mirror, Mirror off the Wall: The Biggest Beauty Bargain of All

We were thinking about all the money a gal spends on make-up and grooming products. You know: the Sephora binge and shame jaunts; the Duane Reade/CVS/Walgreen hair accessory pick-me-up-basket-fill-ups; the Avon lady calling and you buying all she’s selling visits.
When it occurred to us the biggest error most of us make when applying make-up or styling our hair is that we do it facing a mirror.
Huh? What’s wrong with looking straight into the mirror? Nothing and everything. While you get a fabulous full frontal view, you miss all the nuanced dimensions of how people really see you. (Well, not exactly metaphysically, more superficially and three-dimensionally.)
So, the one key grooming and beauty item you should have in your arsenal is a hand held mirror. It’s the biggest beauty buy of all ($2.99 and up) to make sure the back of your hair is in concert with the front, the clips are pinned straight, and the make-up is blended smoothly back from the jaw into the neck line.

We just had a facial. The first in a really long time. It was perfect.
Perfect until it was time to pay, that is, when the woman at the desk– you know the overly perky person charged with ringing up the charges– tried to up-sell us on...

We are easily distracted, particularly since we are under contract and on deadline for our new book, Mama B’s on a Budget. Today’s ADD moment came while re-reading a story we wrote a year ago about how to avoid falling victim to passing fads. We...

We have a confession to make.
We scoffed at peanut butter and jelly when we were kids. While, on occasion, we could be coerced into a Fluffernutter on white bread (we feel nauseated thinking about it now), the thick gooey peanut butter sticking...
