RE: Limecat's Friday Fun and Frivolous Question Coke or Pepsi? Diet Dr. Pepper!!!! Disney or Looney Tunes? Disney Cats or Dogs? (be careful how you answer this one;)) Cats...but with a healthy regard for dogs, of course... Ballet/Opera or Wrestling/Monster Truck Rallies? Ballet...

I'm graduating in May with a BS in Nursing, then I'll take the national boards and be an RN (that is, if it all goes the way it's supposed to...)! This is my "second career;" I'm 40 (41 on Saturday!). I'm so excited about getting started! Allison

Hi, Ciddy! I do use both the concentrate and the moisturizing gel at the same time, but for different reasons. I use the antioxidant concentrate morning and night, all over my face, neck, and around my eyes, and I use it as my first step. It's slightly moisturizing and leaves a lovely silky...

Ciddy, I'm with you! I'm using the Super Antioxidant Concentrate and the Skin Balancing Moisture Gel daily, and they are wonderful! I also use her BHA gel occasionally, and I love the Best Face Forward foundation. I really appreciate the science behind Paula's products, knowing that she...

Thanks for sharing that! A great story! Allison

Janice -- Oh YEAH! It's crazy...I felt like I would never reach this point, and now that pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel is growing! We will make it! I'm now counting in months, instead of semesters...and before long, we'll be counting in WEEKS! Very exciting! I hope things...

Hi, Heather -- and congrats on starting nursing school this fall! I'm getting ready to graduate from nursing school in May -- started in fall 2004 -- and I'm a mom with 2 daughters (now 11 and 15). I quit my job when I started school, and except for a summer internship, haven't worked since...

I could if I wanted to...I just don't feel like it right now... Yikes!! Allison

Staples is selling the big red "Easy" button -- it sits on a desk, and says "That was easy" when pressed. It's funny, and cheap (around $5), if you have a low price limit. Allison

RE: Yet Another Nancy, Thank you for your thoughtful and balanced contribution to the discussion! Allison

Susan, I saw the Allure article too, and agree that the woman featured had great results. It's the most recent issue, so it should be available. I also think it's completely understandable that you're feeling lots of feelings about your surgery! Hang in there, and I'm sending good vibes...

Carola, I would feel the same way you do, and there's no way I would send my kids on that kind of trip alone at their ages. I don't know if this will be helpful, but sometimes when I'm faced with a decision about my girls (who are now 11 and 15), I remind myself that my #1 job is to keep...

Hi, all! I just bought L'Oreal's mineral makeup at Target a few days ago, and so far I like it a lot -- good coverage, easy to use. I actually had tried BE, and found it to be too shiny on me. That isn't the case with L'Oreal. My only problem so far is that I probably should have bought the...

Jilly -- I just picked up It Hit Me Like a Ton of Bricks -- memoir by Catherine Lloyd Burns. Touching, amazing, and funny! Allison

ETA: My first post lost this sentence: Barbara -- me too -- my husband is putting me through nursing school, and I'll graduate next May! I worked while he finished a master's and then a doctorate and got started in his career (he's a college professor), and now I'm in school "re-tooling"...

I just finished (this morning) You're Not You (Michelle Wildgen), about a college student who becomes a caretake for a woman with Lou Gehrig's disease. As you can imagine from that description, it isn't all light reading...but for me it was a can't-put-it-down book, and it raises some...

Yay, Beth!! I just got re-certified in CPR this week, too, as part of orientation for my nurse intern job this summer. Isn't it nice to have that done? Good luck as you get ready for the kickboxing test! Allison
