I’ve been to many beauty salons. No one gave me a certificate.

The Princess of Parma was a Courvoisier in that she was incapable of innovation in social matters, but unlike the Courvoisiers in that the surprises the Duchesse de Guermantes perpetually held in store for her...

It was happening. At least in that little section of the salon, women were connecting and doing what women knew how to do, show compassion, nurturing—helping someone fit in.

You have to look in the mirror and do one of two things; love or hate who you see. So, be good to yourself – it’s all the esteem you have.
