    Haircolor question

    Gosh, I personally have horrible results with Clairol products. I have used Loreal feria and excellence cream and I really like them. My hair is medium brown and I use an ash blonde color. The results have been pretty good, the red has been toned down but still looks relatively natural...

    Teenaged girls and tanning beds - opinions?

    Oh and I forgot to mention, what about the smell? I went to a tanning bed twice in my life at age 14 (before I knew better) and my skin smelled like it was burning. I had to take a shower as soon as I got home because I itched and because the smell was nauseating!

    Teenaged girls and tanning beds - opinions?

    With all of the "fake" tan options out there, no one should opt for the real thing as far as I am concerned. There is a commercial here locally for a tanning company and at the end of the ad they say, "please tan responsibly". What the heck does that mean? Sun exposure ages skin period...

    LACRIMAL PLUGS-anyone know or have?

    My mother had the permanent plugs put in and they have improved her dry eyes but she is very thin, with little to no body fat (5ft 5in, 100 lb) and she can feel the implants under her skin. She descibes the sensation as slightly disconcerting but it does improve her dry eyes. She had a caterac...

    Paxil CR - weirdness??

    Anti-depressants are very effective medicine. They are successfully used by thousands of people with few side effects. Each patient needs to determine which works best with their system so to speak. I have been taking Paxil on and off for almost 2 years and I have had few side effects. The...

    L'Oreal Hair Colour

    I have had excellent results with that kit and at approx $20. it is a good value! I think that it would be pretty hard to screw up because the base color is applied first and the highlights are applied after shampooing the first application away. The highlights coordinate so well with the base...

    botox ... my experience

    Would someone with any bit of tact say anything but that they couldn't tell that someone has had botox? I was watching QVC the other day and there is a woman who sells mood matcher lipsticks and she would smile and her mouth would not turn up and she formed no facial creases around her mouth...

    Has anyone had liposuction?

    Not worth the potential risk as far as I'm concerned. It is difficult to understand how anyone who is interested in health and fitness would subject their body to such a barbaric procedure. I just saw last weekend on tv where a woman's colon was perferated as a result of an overzealous...

    What's wrong with me?????????

    Absolutely nothing is wrong with you. I started in nursing school after my mother almost died a few months prior. I liked the notion of helping people and thought the career would be incredibly rewarding. After only one semester I realized that the "hands on" aspect of nursing did not...

    What is your favorite cheesecake flavor?

    My favorites are: peanut butter cup cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake, and plain cheesecake with cherries or blueberries on top. I have never met a cheesecake though that I didn't like:)

    Would you apologize?

    I would not apologize. You care about your friend and her boys and you would hate to watch her voluntary behavior affect her life in a detrimental way. True friends tell it like it is......acquaintenances don't care. Your friend barely beat cancer, she is engaging in behavior which could make...

    I'm very disappointed!

    Wow, personally if you receive the same type of service or reply from the customer service deparment as you got from the SNM rep here, I would still be pretty aggravated. If I were Cathe I would be concerned with regard to the professinalism of the outside contract organizations I was using...

    WHAT ARE SCHOOLS DOING TO OUR KIDS????

    I am sure my opinion will be unpopular but I read the subject line and I thought perhaps kids were being tortured or something. I have to say while I think school lunches could improve, I don't think an occasional nutty bar or soda is going to hurt anyone. Everyone, including children...

    my first chiropractic adjustment

    I am really on the fence about chiropractic medicine. I have a dear friend who goes because the doctor guilts her into it and gets mad if she misses an appointment. He showed her some freaky x-ray of her misalignment and she is paranoid that she will become disfigured if he stops the...

    How many calories do you eat a day?

    Wow Dani, with all your running I thought you could probably eat at least 2500 hundred calories and be fine:) I typically run 6.2 miles 4 to 5 times a week, work out an additional 5-6 hours (weights, whatever) per week and need to eat under 1500 calories to lose weight, 2000 to maintain. I...

    Wisdom teeth-- AGH!!

    I had all of my wisdom teeth pulled approx. 6 years ago. Two were impacted, one was partially in, and the other all the way in. I was finding it very difficult to brush the ones that came in and ended up with decay in both of them. As a result, I was put under to have them all removed...

    Deodorant?

    I used to wear Secret but I have to change periodically because one deodorant will lose its effectiveness with me over time. I now love Arrid extra dry. I rarely sweat under the arms when I wear it unless it is like 100 degrees and I have absolutely no odor ever!
