  • Validation, Everyone Needs It

  • What to Wear for the Exotic Beauty

    The Dramatic woman is just that: passionately expressive. Conversations with her are very deep and theatrically infused with emotional word-pictures.

  • Do you Feel Like an Ugly Duckling?

    The primary factor in determining your Personal Image Identity (Img.ID) is your physical appearance. Just as a rose by any other name is still a rose, so are you the style of beauty that your physical attributes indicate that you are. Anyone could say that a rose is just a flower, or they could call…

  • The Overlooked Solution for Acne

    When acne blows up, does you confidence deflate? Google is betting on it, which is why ads for suicide prevention are often linked to your search on this common skin condition. Acne affects about 50 million Americans a year. Obnoxious blemishes have a way of rearing their ugly head at crucial times in life–not only in adolescence!…

  • Are You Stylish?

    Stylish, by definition, is trendy, modern, fashionable, sophisticated, elegant, glamorous.
