Well, I’ve wrapped up another issue (yippee!!!!). I’m not doing a separate “What Oprah Knows For Sure” entry because Oprah doesn’t talk about beauty in the beauty issue. Maybe Oprah feels ugly. Maybe she doesn’t feel like she knows something about beauty for sure. What she does know is that when [...]

You’re Normal if You Don’t Like the Way You Look

The beauty-themed articles in the April 2006 O are useful. Several pages are short stories from people who have had body issues but have learned to get over them and love the “imperfection.” I always enjoy reading personal stories.
“Beauty and the Bitch” talks about your inner voice, the one that doesn’t allow you to like [...]
Breathing Space, African Style
Posted in Breathing Space, Vol. 7 Iss. 4, tagged o magazine, Breathing Space, personal, Vol. 7 Iss. 4 on June 13, 2008 | No Comments »
In the April 2006 issue, there’s a fashion spread that was shot in Africa. It seems only fitting that the “Breathing Space” photo comes from there as well. This shot is along the River Kwai in Botswana at sunset. A few trees are scattered around the landscape, and those that are near the banks of [...]
Don’t Believe These Beauty Lies!
Posted in Vol. 7 Iss. 4, beauty, tagged beauty, o magazine, Vol. 7 Iss. 4 on June 12, 2008 | No Comments »
Here’s a useful beauty article that debunks 12 popular beauty myths. With each one there’s a bit of explanation, but the main thing to remember is don’t believe them:
“Eighty percent of your lifetime sun damage occurs before age 18.” (nope! only 23%!)
If you’re sleep deprived, you’ll get dark circles under your eyes. (apparently that’s genetics)
You [...]
More Beautiful Things to Buy
Posted in The O List, Vol. 7 Iss. 4, tagged o list, o magazine, shopping, Vol. 7 Iss. 4 on June 11, 2008 | No Comments »
One feature I think I’ll still continue to comment on is The O List. I know I probably get a little snarky about it, but since I don’t have much money, it makes me feel better to say, “You paid how much for that???” However, I’m sure that if I had Oprah’s money, [...]
Thinking About Beauty
Posted in Something to Think About, Vol. 7 Iss. 4, beauty, tagged beauty, o magazine, personal, Something to Think About, Vol. 7 Iss. 4 on June 11, 2008 | No Comments »
In April 2006, O still published the “Something to Think About” questions, so I’ll keep doing them, simply because they do force me to examine myself, no matter if I like it or not.
“How much time and money do you spend each week on your appearance? Is it more than you spend on your inner [...]
Patricia Volk is my New Hero

O features articles by some good writers. Anne Lamott pops up a lot, and I love her writing. I’m always happy when I come to a piece by her. However, “My Dinner With Marion” (vol. 7 iss. 4) by Patricia Volk is incredibly funny and is really one of the best magazine pieces I’ve read [...]
Measure Your Own Worth
Posted in Dr. Phil, Vol. 7 Iss. 4, tagged Dr. Phil, journey, life, o magazine, personal, Vol. 7 Iss. 4 on June 10, 2008 | No Comments »
I can relate to only one of the three Dr. Phil questions in the April 2006 issue: How do I stop comparing myself to my sisters and their idea of what success is? (the other two questions are: My 10-yr-old steals things from her friends, and I don’t want to be pals with my husband’s [...]
Early Beauty

Here we go with the first beauty issue–O Magazine April 2006. As Oprah explains in the “Here We Go!” column, the question they want you to answer is, “Do you like the way you look?” I think they want you to get to, “Yes, I do.” After all, this magazine is about [...]
