Dedication
For all of the women and girls out there who think they’re anything less than
stunningly gorgeous, know this: you are beautiful exactly as you are. Makeup,
skin care, and, yes, even these beauty recipes are fun and glamorous, but they
neither determine nor define your beauty. Your real beauty exudes from within.
Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
In memory of my papa, Dr. James J. Feffer, who taught me the power of
education, hard work, and knowledge; and showed me the value of integrity,
loyalty, poise, and kindness. Hoping this is “of interest.”
