About Angela:
I have been a beauty junkie for what seems like forever, but before I did anything about it, I went to law school. (Yes, my life is a little like the reverse of Legally Blonde.) Then, I worked as a prosecutor in Sonoma County after which I moved to the DC area with my husband in '97. I served as Majority Counsel to the Senate Banking Committee followed by a year-long stint at a lobbying firm. You get the picture.
It was then that I decided to act on my dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Finding my favorite beauty products proved to be impossible without stepping foot in a mall--the horror. So, I decided to bring my favorites to Alexandria. A few trips to New York and a flight to France and Bellacara was born in March 2000. (Yes, opening a store feels a little like giving birth.) Since 2000, Bellacara has offered the best of beauty to Alexandria.
I spend a lot of time in my store helping my customers. I mean, a lot of time. Luckily, many of my customers are friends or have become friends. Otherwise, I am with my husband and my four sons...most likely squiring them away to electric guitar lessons or basketball practice. Obviously, I always take time to indulge in my latest beauty obsessions and I always have a beautiful candle burning.
