COST OF COVETING BEAUTY

Venus lingers around every time an ad promotes personal beauty as something to be coveted above all else. I read recently that, if current trends continue, today’s 10-year-old girl, by the time she reaches 50, will have spent $450,000.00 on hair, make-up, elective surgeries, manicures, and pedicures.
