October 7, 2009

Things really do come full-circle, and trying out Lauren Hutton’s makeup line reminded me of that! When my baby teeth finally gave way to my “big girl” teeth, and the last quarter had been left under my pillow by the tooth fairy, I had kind of awkward teeth for a little girl– or at least [...]
