Broadway Baby
It started out as just another ordinary, extraordinary day in the life of Paloma Garcia-Lee. After all, the seventeen year-old was already no ordinary teenager. This was the high school graduate who left her Wrightstown, Pa., home to live on her own in New York City and fulfill her dream of becoming a performer; the girl who had a job selling yoga-wear and a dashing life of going to auditions, taking dance classes, and trying to “make it.” She was already pretty impressive when she got the call that would change her life. ...
Joy to the World
The little faces come first—like the 66 mustachioed men collectively staring ear-to-ear from one drawer, each with a unique glint in their black eyes. Next come the bodies—hundreds of miniature forms, each revealing a different, and rather forgiving, figure (a small sign on a shelf reads “Tall Fat Women”). Finally, reams of cloth are transformed into tiny jackets, bonnets, slacks, and skirts. Under the high ceilings of the factory floor, a diminutive community is born. At the end of the line, the finished products gather—an army of handcrafted dolls, waiting in the vast ...

Keep It Glowing All Winter Long
After discussing the best ways to keep facial skin healthy and glowing during the winter months with several local experts, many themes arose: exfoliation, moisturizing, hydration, and sunscreen. These steps are all important because the winter weather tends to be drier, which has an impact on the skin. Somewhat surprisingly, the topic of sunscreen... [Read more of this review]
Hair Stories
Recently, Bucks County WOMAN Magazine held an open call for women interested in hair makeovers, and three women—each with their own particular hair woes—were chosen. Some had fine, limp hair; others had simply paid more attention to the needs of their families than to their own appearance; and one woman wore her hair in a braid every day (unless...
