Your skin is dry. Itchy. Chapped. Flaky and gray. Or maybe your wrinkles are looking kind of …present. Front & center, even. Not really the look you’re going for, right? Let’s face it: you’ve put decades of wear and tear on your largest organ: sunburns, hangovers, outdoorsy activities…each adds a little bit of story to your future […]

Five years ago, I was just like you. I was confused and overwhelmed by the choices out there…unsure of what to do…or buy….or use…. So I did something about it: I went to esthetician school and got up close and personal with people’s skin. Now, I didn’t know at the time that I’d soon be […]

When I was in consulting, the only way I could get through the morning was head down to the nearest Starbucks. The coffee itself didn’t really help. It was the time. Time to stare blankly. Wake up. Not speak. Fortify myself for the hours upon hours of projects, spreadsheets, formatting, PowerPoints, and check-ins I knew […]

You’re trying out a new recipe, and it says to “throw in a handful.” You stop. Handful. HANDFUL? What does that even mean?? Clearly you should have read the recipe a bit more closely before buying all the ingredients. The cookbook author is a dude…and his hands are likely bigger than yours…a handful to him […]

You already are one. Why? Because you’re particular. And when we say particular, we mean it. You examine your brows up close and personal at the end of every appointment. You let us know when you have exactly 12 minutes to get in and out of the studio. You speak up when your landing strip […]

You’ve been dating for: One day One week 3 months 6 months Etc. He’s acting different. Suddenly, he’s: Distant Weird Prickly. Which makes you act out. You get: Clingy Overtextish Weird.

You. An armload of clothes. A well-dressed employee…who introduces herself (and gives you a compliment!) as she unlocks the dressing room door and helps you with your haul. The first outfit goes on, and it’s perfect for Date Night: low cut but not slutty…clingy in just the right places…it shows off that delicious hint of cleavage […]

Are you sure? Take a moment. Be honest. Perhaps you don’t want to look like a glutton. He’s getting a veggie pita and you’re getting the spicy lamb burger?!? How would that look? Maybe you pass on the fries because the girls you’re with are trying to lose weight. Or you decline the bread basket entirely […]

You know how annoying it is when the phone rings, right? Usually it’s your mother. Or that girl who wants to talk forever (but has nothing to say). Or that other girl whose kids are always crying in the background. Why can’t they just text already? I get it. I really do. The thing is, […]

You might not see my face as often going forward, as my hours in the treatment room are reduced. (I’ll be taking more time away as the year goes on.) BUT. My face is still fully engaged in TWH. I’m not closing the company. I’m not backing off, relaxing, or “phoning it in.” I AM […]

  I’m retired from a lot of things: Horse Training Barrel Racing Massage Therapy Banking Intramural Dodgeball Captaining Triathlons Watching Scary and Violent Movies Eating fast food Drinking light beer Many MANY Unhealthy Relationships. Yep, that’s right. Retired. Sure…you might say I’ve quit all the above. But you’d be mistaken. Why? Because retiring is better […]

Before my life giving Brazilians, I got Brazilians. Lots of them. Every three weeks, my sugarista and I would chitchat. We were girlfriends out for a glass of wine…except no wine was ever involved…and I spent every conversation naked from the waist down. But anyway. Thanks to TWH, the tables have turned. I’m now friendly […]

I started my corporate career as a consultant, during the height of the Business Process Reengineering craze. It was my job to map out processes for various clients…and recommend ways to cut time, money, and hassle from their workflows. Capturing chaos and transforming the mess into something that made sense (and made people’s lives easier) […]

I got a little ahead of myself yesterday and busted out the white pants. On March 11. A full 73 days before Memorial Day. I was out of clean jeans and needed to put together a presentable outfit for a photoshoot we had planned…so white pants it was. And anxiety ensued. For the ENTIRE day. […]

Two years, two months, and fifteen days ago (or slightly more, depending on when you read this email), Eric and I opened the doors of The Wicked Hair. We had zero inkling as to whether Boise would embrace sugaring…knew hardly anyone….and really REALLY hoped our savings lasted as long as our spreadsheet said it would. […]

It was 2006ish, and I was on a mission to Be More Outgoing. I’d been reading about how extraverts are social creatures who like groups. And my preference was sitting in mostly deserted bars, alone, with a novel. So…I decided to spend more time in group situations. This particular Personal Initiative (as I call my […]

It was 2006ish. I’d just gotten a promotion (yay!), and was wandering through a department store looking for a way to reward myself. It was a “fat day”  – clothes were NOT something I wanted to be trying on. The shoe section was out, because I was pretty sure there was a hole in my […]

Do you know your skin type? Are you Dry? Oily? Normal? Combination? Is your skin Dehydrated? Sensitive? Acne-prone? Premature? Mature? How do you know what to buy? Beauty aisles can be intimidating, especially when you don’t know where to start. Every product claims to be for a certain skin type or condition. It’s supposed to be […]

  A few Thursdays ago, I dragged my computer and to-go mugs in from the car. It had been a long day, and I had two more to go before a day off. As I plopped my bag down and started to head toward my evening fleece, I noticed E’s expression. He was wearing his […]
