Actors, Throw Out That 20 Year Old Ben Nye

She taught acting, directed shows, but for me she will always be my stage make-up teacher. I ended up being paid to be a make-up artist for the theater, dance [...]

Keeping Track of Your Golf Ball

My client’s mother uses our Beauty Alert! waterproof and writable labels to keep track of her golf balls. Not only do they stay on the surface of the ball, the label can withstand all kinds of abuse. I have even put one through the dishwasher on my Pyrex dish. Anyway, good to know that even [...]
