Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth

I love Self magazine - especially the beauty features. And it’s not just because most are written and/or produced by one of my best friends, Leah Wyar, Self’s Deputy Beauty Director (she and I have known each other for nearly eight years - beginning way back when we were little baby beauty editors!). Self’s beauty content is just really straightforward, honest and accessible, and that’s how beauty talk should be, you know?

Presently, Self is running a very cool contest that I have to tell you all about:

If you’re at least 18 years old, you could score a session with celeb hairstylist David Evangelista and be featured (with your new, gorgeous ‘do) in the September issue of SELF. The makeover and photo shoot will take place on May 28 and 29. You must be available both days; if you’re not in the NYC area, you will need to arrive by May 27.
