If you're tired of your appearance and are looking for a change, you should take a trip to Belinda's Beauty Salon. The
prices are reasonable, the service is amazing, and you can have almost anything done there. Belinda's can dye your
hair, paint your nails, and even pierce your ears. I got highlights in my hair two months ago, and they still look
beautiful.
Belinda's was established by Belinda Bové in 1995. Last night, I called Ms. Bové, and she explained how Belinda's
Beauty Salon began. Apparently, Ms. Bové went to art school for two years, but she felt she wasn't learning anything
that she didn't already know. So she decided to make an extreme change. She started going to business school. And
according to Ms. Bové, this was the smartest decision of her life. She said, "If I hadn't gone to business school, I would
never have had a successful salon business. I remember when I told my family my plans about going to business school
and opening a salon—my parents were very angry. They must have thought I was crazy. My father told me that artists
weren't capable of running businesses. My mother said I shouldn't have quit art school so quickly and that I was
throwing my money in the garbage. But these days my parents are happy for my success."
Well, I'm sure all Ms. Bové's customers are glad she didn't take her family's advice. Belinda's Beauty Salon is one

Can somebody explain why there are so many awful new fashions out there? Do we really need jackets with 20
zippers or shoes with fur? For years, I've been waiting for somebody to create a fashion trend that was about
more than just appearances. And Frida Jones, the founder of Frida Fashion, has finally done this. She has
designed and produced a fascinating new clothing line that is made completely from recycled materials. So the
next time you plan to throw out your soda bottle or newspaper, you might want to think again. Materials like
these can now be used for making stylish, inexpensive clothing.
Ms. Jones has been designing amazing shirts, pants, dresses, and hats for 15 years. Before she started Frida
Fashion, Ms. Jones had been a clothing designer's assistant at a dull fashion agency that was located in
Elizabeth, New Jersey. She worked there for only two months. On the day Ms. Jones was asked to serve her boss's
daughter coffee and throw out the trash, she decided to quit the boring job and go back to college in New York
to complete her fashion degree. And, soon afterward, she started to plan her future company. Frida's new
clothing line, Recycle Wear, is now sold in London, Paris, Berlin, and New York.
43. What did Ms. Jones create? 45. After Ms. Jones quit her job, where
