Read moreA few days ago, I overheard a conversation of my colleagues about makeup. Since I was busy checking activities (You know, teacher’s stuff.), I didn’t bother to join until I heard one of them said that the main reason why she doesn’t use a mascara is because it causes her lashes to fall out.

Actually, I am more than happy to be doing all the things I am doing -- teaching, talking and blogging about beauty, advising on financial matters, taking my M.A., living my advocacy -- I am on my A game!
