Harro! Remember me, the girl with the non-existent eyelashes? Last year I tried eyelash extensions and loved the look. I had long, sexy lashes for the first time in my life! It was a miracle! After a few courses, however, I decided that the treatments were making too big a dent in my wallet. Back to short stubby lashes for me. I still had hope, and rightfully so. A couple of months ago my mother called me up and said she had just read all about a "revolutionary" eyelash conditioner called RevitaLash that will help me grow longer and thicker lashes.

"Of course I don't have that, why would you even ask me?" "Because your eyelashes are so short and sparse! Everyone else in the family has long and full eyelashes except for you! You can tell me...
Continue readingI admit that I'm very un-photogenic. Even my own mother tells me so. "Why do you look so bad in pictures? Practice how to pose in front of the mirror!" Perhaps it's my natural awkwardness and/or low self-esteem manifesting itself on film. Or maybe I just don't have the face for it. Being an artiste, I've studied human anatomy and the human form many times (heck I had to stare at naked bodies for 8 hours straight every Saturday for an entire summer). Working in marketing, I sometimes have to pour through hundreds of photos, examining face after face. And I've noticed that there are certain features that definitely makes one easier to draw, or more pleasing to the eye when...
