Bethany Westover never had a problem buying bras. She could always count on finding a few cute, cheap ones almost anywhere she shopped.

Then, in August 2006, the 26-year-old Red Lion woman had a baby, and everything changed.

Her old bras started to feel tight.

She bought a sports bra, but that didn't fit right either.

So she bought a different bra.

Then another.

And another.

Finally, Westover broke down and spent nearly $40 on a Victoria's Secret number. "That really hurt," she said. "I'm a waitress and that's half a day's tips sometimes."

Models of hope

By BETH VRABEL for Smart

These women are warriors.
They might look like your neighbor, your child’s teacher, your pew companion when you worship.
That’s because they are.
They might seem just like you, your sisters and your mother — chasing grandchildren, planning vacations, picking up groceries.
They are.
These women also have — and are — waging a war on a disease that has crept into their bodies, disrupted their lives, altered their family.
They are cancer survivors.

Make-up artist Kyle Mills gives Alana Haag of Red Lion a glimpse after he made her over at Shortino's.

By NICKI LEFEVER for Smart

When the daily alarm goes off, women everywhere are rolling over and going back to bed for just five more minutes.
Working women, stay-at-home moms and ladies across the board are cramming to get the coffee brewed, the clothes ironed and their hair brushed just to make it out the door on time. A stylish makeup application is the last thing they have time for.
But makeup artist Kyle Mills said every day is a photo shoot, so why not look your best?
Wow, what a thought. It sure would be nice to have a professional in your bathroom every morning telling you what to do, or even better, doing it for you. But that’s not reality.
Have no fear, Mills said it doesn’t take much more than 15 minutes to apply a look that will last and make your confidence soar.

Let your makeup loose this summer

 — Gloria Fogal ( 8:23 AM)

Summer's here, and that means boardwalk strolls at the beach and backyard barbecues in sundresses with flip-flops and tousled hair.
