    Thrifting Tips

    Lizzie, that is a wonderful idea. How did you keep straight which knot went to which measurement? I would forget and think that my hip measurement was my inseam or some such :p

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    A stye is actually like a little pimple. They form in the pores and folicles of your eyelid. They can form in your lash line or on the inside of your eye lid. If you have a hard little white bump that looks just like a pimple, you have a stye. I can usually scratch my little ones to make...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Daisy :eek: I am sorry that happened to you. I had a similar situation about a year ago. I wasn't using Pond's then, but I wasn't making an effort to get all my eye makeup removed, either. My eye doctor also told me to use baby shampoo. I haven't used it yet because I haven't had any...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I read the links. I can see some merit in the arguements against using the mineral oil. However, as I have said before, Pond's has worked wonders for my skin. If, as some people said in those links, the molecules are too large to get into the pores of my skin, then I find it hard to...

    The Right Slip

    I have a tank top that is designed to be worn as an undergarment that has a built in under wire bra. I hate the shelf bras that were popular a few years back, I am not well endowed, and they smooshed me flat as a board. I like that tank top quite a bit; I got it in a few colors from New York...

    The Right Slip

    What a grand idea! I could do that, it would be easy! I have a problem my straps staying up, also. I started wearing racerbacks because the straps stay up, but that style doesn't work with everything. Many thanks for the idea! :eusa_clap

    The Right Slip

    Lizzie, are your slip straps wide? All my straps are thin and adjustable, and don't do a darn thing for hiding my bra straps. I, too, hate having my bra straps show, I feel so .... un-classy. ::goes on the hunt for a new slip:: But yes, I do often wear a slip with a skirt. I am very...

    I was drooling over that dress, I am glad it went to a good home! Until we pay the tax man all the money we owe, I can't buy anything that costs more than $5. We are really in a pickle. At least I can live vicariously though you ladies with the lovely taste!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I'm sorry, Daisy :( It is very frustrating. Its not like you had a mohawk and were wearing gaudy red plaid pants! You were dressed like a feminine lady. I can relate to the experience, but from wearing said mohawk and red plaid pants :) I dressed outrageously in college, and I knew it. I...
