Read Amberly's Story on Essence.com"We all know that person who removes 80% of her "beauty" with a face wipe... Do I think its possible for her to find balance in her beauty??? Of course! Finding balance takes work and attention to your behavior, thoughts, and actions. I know that people can find balance in their beauty when they take time prettying up their inside as much as they do their outside..."
