When there is torrential weather outside, the last thing any girl wants to do is get her hair wet. The thought of actually taking the time to straighten my hair, put on makeup, and pick a cute outfit out to then walk outside in the rain where my hair will immediately resemble the orphan “Annie”

What image comes into your mind when someone says the city: Palm Beach? On a recent phone call, my mom told me that we would be spending the holiday Easter weekend at that very destination.
