This is the perfume oil website that I mentioned in the bos thread. Anybody order from them?

Do you order from them? (sorry, I don't think I read the bos thread) It looks intriguing, but I am always hesitant to order things online unless I recognize the brand/store.

I wear Aveda oils so this looks good. If you do order, and they don't steal your money, let me know.

[kathycf]

Which is the bos thread? That company looks very interesting but I have never heard of them. I have ordered stuff from Body Time (online and through the mail) and they have some nice essential oils, perfume oils and natural body care products.

opps, I meant boy's thread.


The posters on my hair website rave about the stuff but I haven't tried it yet. I'm intrigued by the names and descriptions.

[Shalot]

That site does look good Kathy - Thanks!

(btw: what do you recommend?)

[kathycf]

One thing about Body Time is that they custom scent many products, such as shampoo, conditioner, bodywash and lotions...those are the basics. One thing I noticed is that many products that I get have all these clashing scents...the perfume is different from the shampoo and so on.

So, it's nice because you could get all of those products in one scent, sort of like coordinating them. They have this really nice fragrance called "China Rain" that is sort of this fresh floral kind of scent. You can get China Rain everything if you wanted...(well, except toothpaste because that would taste nasty...:p).

They also use natural essential oils to create some blends...their "vanilla orange ginger" smells really nice, and is also available in a wide variety of products.

Good grief, I expect the "boys" will be snickering at all this girl talk...but that is the name of the thread. ;)

[Virgil]

Hi ladies. Can anyone give me any advice on painting this darn toe nail? Men's toes can look so ugly. :p :)

http://www.vituperation.com/journal/2005/January/toe.jpg

[Mortis Anarchy]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! I'd say go with lavender! Or orange!!! Thats what I got on right now! I'm thinking of changing to something else...that was quite a surprise.:D :lol:

[kathycf]

Hi ladies. Can anyone give me any advice on painting this darn toe nail? Men's toes can look so ugly. :p :)



I'm afraid amputation is your best bet for that. Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings...:( .............:p

[Mortis Anarchy]

I'm afraid amputation is your best bet for that. Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings...:( .............:p

HAHA! I revoke my statement and agree with Kathycf.

[Lily Adams]

I'm afraid amputation is your best bet for that. Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings...:( .............:p

:nod:


You jokester, Virgil. :lol:

I personally think if it can't be amputated it needs flowers on it. Little painted daisies. :p

[papayahed]

Oh good heavens I didn't need to see that this early in the morning!!!!!

[Idril]

I agree! Something like that should really come with a warning. :sick: :p

[dramasnot6]

I suggest many layers of nailpolish,18 pairs of socks, and boots made entirely of titanium.

[Virgil]

I'm afraid amputation is your best bet for that. Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings...:( .............:p

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks for the advice. Sorry ladies if I disturbed your stomachs before breakfest. :D

[kiz_paws]

Virgil, that toe looks like someone had a precarious dancing partner... OWCH!

And it didn't disturb my oatmeal, lol! :lol:

[kathycf]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Thanks for the advice. Sorry ladies if I disturbed your stomachs before breakfest. :D
I saw it last night before going to bed. I had a nightmare of being attacked by a 20 foot tall skanky toe. Thanks a lot, Virgil! :flare: :flare: :flare: :flare:

...........................:p :lol:

[papayahed]

Poor Virgie!! It didn't really look all that bad, (except maybe the bruise) nothing a little cuticle oil applied each night wouldn't fix.

[RobinHood3000]

Regarding a colour for said toenail, I would recommend wet-cement grey.

[Bakiryu]

I recommed Black nail polish (for both hands and toes) and getting a proffesional manicure as soon as possible.

[Mortis Anarchy]

I need a new fun color, but something that would match with my clothes...most of the time on my hands I go for pearly colors or light pinks or white...on my toes its normally orange or red...or some fun vibrant color. I felt the need to keep this one going...no one has been on it.

Okay, I haven't decided, but I've got a date for tommorrow...this guy that I never got along with from 7th grade through highschool...but he asked me out like 4 days ago. What should I wear? Something neutral, flashy(not gaudy), fun...demure...I dunno. I never expected this!

[Mortis Anarchy]

Well, the date got postponed due to heavy rain, but I would still like some help, because it is just postponed...:( :)

[Bakiryu]

wear something that makes you feel HOT, that way you will not be thinking in the middle of the date "omigod i should have worn the shirt, THis is digging into my shoulders, blah, blah, blah"

[Mortis Anarchy]

Yeah, but this is a guy that I have sworn to be in a constant arguement since I first moved to this place. And now, out of the blue, he decides to ask me out and I SAID YES! I don't even know if I like him! He's smart and handsome...decent guy, but we've always bonked heads in classes and outside of classes. SO I'm a little unsure of what to do. He has totally thrown my game of course!

[papayahed]

Wear something fun that you feel great wearing.

[Mortis Anarchy]

Thats what I planned on. Something fun and classy...hmmm...thanks!

[papayahed]

So how was the date?


This morning I shampooed my hair (first time in months) and it made it feel all clumpy and dry. No more shampooing for me!!!!

So how do you usually wash your hair if you don't use shampoo?

[papayahed]

So how do you usually wash your hair if you don't use shampoo?

Just conditioner. At first I didn't think it would work with product build up and oilyness but it works just fine my hair never looks dirty. It's a part of the Curly Girl Method.

[Annamariah]

My hair is curly only when it gets wet and then dries on its own... The curls usually last only till I brush my hair again... But if I go out when it's raining, my hair curls :)

[Bakiryu]

My hair is extremely curly, I can brush it until is silk-soft, then it tangles all over again! I've usually worn it so short people called me 'sir' or 'dude' but now is to my waist.

[Mortis Anarchy]

So how was the date?

Actually its tonight. To tell you the truth, after talking to him via email for the past couple of days, I'm actually looking forward to it. We are going to a coffeeshop that I haven't been to before and then he said it was a surprise...

My hair is very, very curly...where I live though, it just makes it really frizzy. Anyone know of good defrizzers?

[papayahed]

There's a whole movement dedicted to such questions:

http://www.naturallycurly.com/index.php

Frizziness wasn't a problem when I was straightening but now that I'm au natural I need product. It's not necessarily a defrizzer but I find that Africa's Best Organics Shea Butter and Tea Tree Oil Moisturizer does the trick. I also use Beyond the Zone Frizz Zapper.

[Shalot]

Man, I have extremely straight hair. It won't even hold a curl. I tried a perm once but that didn't work out. So I went to target and wasted money on a waver thingy --- kind of like the 80's crimping iron but the result is not so arts and crafts like the crimper (your hair looks like gift basket stuffing when you get finished with that stupid thing). Well this waver has deeper rounder ridges but it was time consuming and my hair still ended up straight as a board after a few hours. Stupid thing. Stupid hair.

[Adolescent09]

My hair is tiny and ridiculously curly. But then again with nappy-headed black people fuzzy, miniscule curls are predominantly natural...

[spa girl]

My hair used to be wavy until I got pregnant then it curled up & stayed curly. I love the Curls Rock line by TIGI for keeping my hair curly but not frizzy. The trick for me is to let my hair dry on its own after putting in the product - just pulling my blow dryer out of the drawer is enough to make my hair frizz. And don't touch it until it's dry! Once it dries, I just fluff it up to separate some of the curls & to get rid of the "crunchiness" of the product, maybe a little bit of hairspray & I'm good to go.

Also, I only wash it every 3 or 4 days but I conidition it daily.

[Bakiryu]

I envy you people with straight hair! You know how difficult is to hide long extremely curly hair under a cap!? And if it cut it: it's worse!

[Shalot]

I envy you people with straight hair! You know how difficult is to hide long extremely curly hair under a cap!? And if it cut it: it's worse!

You think you do, but you don't. It really sucks actually. Let's trade hair. Want to?

[Bakiryu]

If only! With straight hair you can wake up and it's straight, you let it loose and it's straight! My hair is more bent than an LGBT parade!

[spa girl]

BAKIRYU - I envy you people with straight hair! You know how difficult is to hide long extremely curly hair under a cap!? And if it cut it: it's worse!

Same here! When I wake up, my hair looks as if I've combed it with a towel & if I cut it too short, it's even more work to get it to look like something.

I always have my hairdresser straighten it for me when he cuts it. Let HIM spend 45 minutes with a blow dryer & flat iron, I pay him enough! But then, you know what? It starts to bug me because it's always falling in my face. At least when it's curly, it's not in my eyes.

Let's face it, we all want what we don't have. My less-endowed girlfriends want my bustline while I pine for the pre-puberty days of being able to wear a cute little top with spaghetti straps without having to hunt down a bra that doesn't stick out all over the place. Only to then have the cute little top drape straight down from my chest so that I look 8 months pregnant.

Well i CAN'T afford a hairdresser you my mum has to do it. I wish my hair would just LIE DOWN, is like some kinde of reddish demon that has decided to poke my eyes out. it hates me i swear.

Let's face it, i'm a bit of a tomboy so i have to bind my breasts really, really tight to make my chest lie down flat, then layer my clothes. Today I went underwear shopping with my mum and she was helping me pick out bras when she said "You know you'll never fit into a 38D!" of course all men present looked! I was so embarrased! :flare: :blush:

[spa girl]

Bind your breasts!? That must be so uncomfortable!

[Mortis Anarchy]

I envy you people with straight hair! You know how difficult is to hide long extremely curly hair under a cap!? And if it cut it: it's worse!

I LOVE MY CURLY HAIR!!! I wish it was curlier but again, I have the frizz problem because of the weather.:( When I was little, I had an afro. Then it grew out and it was so curly...insanly curly. I love my curly hair...

[Lily Adams]

Well, my hair is really weird. It's wavy, a little bit. Like in between staright and curly. I hate wasting time worrying about my hair, even though I would love to have it look better. It's boring...worrying about my appearance. :sick: But I also DESPISE being noticed appearance-wise.

So usually I have this really crazy, tangled, mad scientist hair. Which works for me, I guess. My mom always gets mad at me for it, though. The tangled part.

But my bangs are ALWAYS limp and I hate that. Stupid limp bangs.

My friend actually straightened my hair the other day and it looked alright...but again it's the convinience thing. Plus it takes up energy.

I normally don't do anything except for a ponytail or a bun...unless I have stuff that makes it defrizz..,my friends hair is like yours...she just puts puts a bit of gel and water in her hand and scrunches...its quick and easy. Or there is mousse that just gives it some body...my mom does that for her bangs...she also has limp bangs...but she also has really thin hair and I have super thick hair.

38D? sorry to say it dear but I've got bigger problems than that. Let's talk triple and then lets make it worse by saying that I've got to go to a specialty shop for my support. I'd give anything for a single letter. I agree with spa girl --- we all want what we don't have, and in this case, literally

I always have my hair either in a ponytail or pigtails. Very, very, rarely I'll have it down with a ribbon or my hair up Regency style.

Maybe I'll try that...my bangs just look...icky. Like they're greasy-looking things perpetually stuck to my forehead. :sick: I have really thing hair, and also bugs me. I want black, thick(er), poofier, crazier hair. I guess I'm joining in on the converstaion about things we want but can't have. D:

[applepie]

My hair is curly only when it gets wet and then dries on its own... The curls usually last only till I brush my hair again... But if I go out when it's raining, my hair curls :)

I have the same problem, but mine tends to be strait on the top and curly underneath. I just grow it long and wear a lot of ponytails. Any ideas on a good look for when I go back to working in an office? I've thought about a perm just to make it all curly, but my hair is so think I would look as if I had put my finger in the wall outlet. I'm thinking of trying one of those make over deals and hope that they can come up with something. Besides, it is about time I cut it short again since my hair breaks easy because it is fine. Maybe I'll shave it and wear a wig:lol:

Don't wish for thick. My hair is fine but really thick. I can't do much of anything with it and it drives me mad. I've actually thought about seeing if I can have electolosis on my head to thin it out. I think we all wish for something we can't have. The one saying of "the grass is always greener on the other side" still holds true:)

Try the mousse thing. There are some that you just scrunch in and can let it air dry or blow dry. They even everything out. You could also straighten it?! But on some people it doesn't work. My hair is big and curly so when I straighten it, it changes my face shape...which sometimes is a good thing. Do you have layers? Sometimes that helps a lot.

My hair is too fine to straiten. I can't even blow dry it without causing damage... I'll try the mousse and I've also remembered smoothing wax, or something like that. Maybe those will help a little. No layers yet, but I'm planning to go get it all cut in a day or so to get rid of the split ends. I think I'll have some added then and see from there. If I can lose all the weight I want then I might go back to short and spikey. That look was a good one when I'm thin, but not with the extra baby pounds.

[Mortis Anarchy]

Try the layers...they really make a difference with styling. My whole face changed for the better when I got layers, plus it kind of tamed my hair.

[applepie]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep them in mind when I go to get this mess chopped off:)

[Mortis Anarchy]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep them in mind when I go to get this mess chopped off:)

Haha, yeah, I need a haircut as well. My bangs are driving me insane!! Not short enough where they don't tickle my nose or can be put back in my ponytail. I always want to type ponty-tail...haha:lol:

[Annamariah]

How much time do you use daily with your hair? I only brush it a couple of times a day and usually I wear a ponytail or bun. So I only spend about five minutes with my hair every morning.

[Nossa]

I brush it whenever I feel like it's pointing everywhere :lol: Which it does A LOT!!
I don't spend that much time though, cuz the more I brush it, the more it falls.
But I wash it everyday...and shampoo it like three time a week, since it's greasy. I hope this is the right way to do it...lol

[Annamariah]

My skin is very dry and that's why my hair doesn't get greasy easily (which I'm glad for). So I only have to wash it twice a week :)

May I say...LUCKY YOU!! lol
It's not that I don't like showering, cuz I love showering, esp. on hot days like these...but I hate it when I like shower in the morning, and my hair is all fresh and good...then by the evening it gets ALL greasy again..I feel like I just wanna shave it off :sick: lol
What color is your hair btw :D? Mine is black..naturally.

[papayahed]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep them in mind when I go to get this mess chopped off:)

Find a hairdresser that can do curly hair. They all say thay can but most can't. On the link I provide earlier there is a list of salons that are curly friendly, I think you can do a search by area.

[Annamariah]

What color is your hair btw :D? Mine is black..naturally.

It's light brownish :D I'm not a platinum blonde (I used to be, but when I grew older my hair became darker), but most people would call me blonde anyway.
This picture was taken in my graduation party a month ago (that's why I wear that hat :D)

Thanks :) Of course I had to find a dress to match my hat :lol:

[kiz_paws]

Anna, that is a great picture, and you do suit a hat (lucky!). I also had platinum blonde hair when I was very young. Now it is kind of a darker wheat blonde, which is ok, considering I live amidst wheatfields...

As for curly? Yes indeedydooooo this is me, too, dang of all dangs. A ponytail or a straightening iron are the thing of the day...

[Nightshade]

Waking this thread up.... my hair is dying! Help!!

Ok thats a bit dramatic but seriously I need to figure out why my hair has suddenly turned brittle and fuzzy, and can conditiour really help with split ends, last time I asked the hair dresser she got me to buy some ridiculously expensive thing off her that didnt do anything.

[papayahed]

Nothing can repair split ends except scissors.

Have you tried a hot oil treatment?

[Nightshade]

Nothing can repair split ends except scissors.


Scissors? But they are split all the way to the roots so I have to shave myhead?! :eek2:



Have you tried a hot oil treatment
No explain please?

[SleepyWitch]

hey girls, I tried to dye my hair white (using bleach and punk 'white toner') but they ended up a very bright yellow/blonde (will post a pick tomorrow). next time I'll buy that stuff that goths use to dye their hair white.

[Niamh]

did you change you shampoo lately? I think the timotei copper radience shampoo and conditioner is brilliant. does wonders for my hair, and it calms down my spilt ends with spilt ends!:p

Oh please do post that pic sleepy! be careful with bleaches! your hair can either fall out or become like straw.

hehe, thanks for the warning, Niamh. the first pack had peroxide in it but the second is 100% peroxide free and they both came with a conditioner, so I think I'll keep my hair for a while :)

[Nightshade]

Well weve been having problems latley because of PC-ness schools cant send kinds with nits home or force their parents to deal with them as a result every week for the past 5 or 6 my sister has come home with them and weve laa had to go through the whole check the heads shampoo the heads anyway as preventative measure condition for an hour comb with nit comb sigh of relief " I have got them yet " and repeat which is very annoying with me having long hair and all it takes for ever to go through with a comb.....
:mad:
We are considering dying little ones hair as one of my sisters with dyed hair swears blind that the things wont go near dyed hair.. Im lobbying for purple or pink ..maybe red as thats her school colour? but my mum wants to be boring and will dye it the same colour as it already is...

[Scheherazade]

I doubt hairdye will do the trick but tea tree oil shampoo really works and combing regularly is essential (before rinsing conditioner).

[Nightshade]

yeah thats what weve been using and wrapping her head in conditioner in a bag for an hour once or twice a week and they still keep comming back

[Scheherazade]

Probably she's already got some eggs on her head. You might like to get rid of those first by using Lyclear two or three times. Tea tree oil shampoo will stop them coming but not destroy the existing ones.

[Nightshade]

weve done that too...but we cant use the strongest stuff because shes asmatic

[stephofthenight]

umm the best bet is to go to wal-mart or someplace like that and its like 22$ its a comb, and it shocks nits, and bugs, spray everything and comb her hair with it daily... it saves your hair alot, the chemical shampoos damage your hair, where as the comb just kills the bugs... it should help. you may want to file a complaint with the health board, because i belive its like this everywhere, but at least in texas, the child has to go thru a check before they can come back to school... hope this helps, it also takes less time than the conditioner thing :sick: my hair reaches my knees, so i completly understand that one. but yeah its "robicomb" or something like that it realy works pretty well...

[Bakiryu]

when I was younger my mum used to watch my hair with alcohol and then just pull the suckers out. It worked but she has to have straight hair unless you want to work hours at it.

[papayahed]

Ok Ladies, Anybody know where I can find a cute and functional laptop bag?? I would like a messenger type bag. All I've been able to find are those generic manly black bags.

[Renrut]

This site shows a bunch of bags from different places.

http://www.squidoo.com/laptopbag#module8040942

[papayahed]

:bawling: So, why is it that all the bags I like are 250+????

[Scheherazade]

Ain't paying for the bag more than what I have paid for the laptop!

:goof:

Go to amazon and type laptop bags in the search area. There are really nice and cute ones for less than $100 (which is still too much, I think).

[Nightshade]

Ok this might seem like a bit of a stupid question, but how are you menat to clean out your ears?
Ihave had loads of problems with my ears over the last couple of months, and though I can finally listen to music again headphones are still a big no no. Anyway all the differnt antibiotic drops and sprays and also the geral muck left from the infections have filled my ears up and there is no way I am pokking cotton buds into my ears- the last thing I need to add to the mix is blood or a perferated ear drum.
So the question is how do you clean your ears?
Im making yet another apointment with the doctors my ear has been twinging again over the last couple of days-hopefully Ill finally get to see my GP atlast, instead of stand ins, but the point is i forever asking them stupid seeming questions, like one time said something like you say regullay check for lumps but noone has actually told me how I should be checking and where exactly and what Im actually looking for- did you know you're meant to check all the way up into you arm pits? well I didnt!

[papayahed]

Ears - I dunno nightie. How about one of those syringes and warm water? I've seen ear irrigation products in stores.

http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/0411.html


You should clean the external portions of your ears every time you take a shower or bath. To clean the inner portion of your ears, do not use cotton swabs (Q-tips)-- they only push any wax that is present further into your ear canal. Try a hot shower to liquefy the wax and use a wash cloth to wipe out the ear canal. If you know that you have wax build-up, you can also occasionally use a few drops of an over-the-counter wax softener and then flush the canal gently with warm water and a bulb syringe.


Lumps - I knew you had to check the sides but only learned to check way the heck up to the armpits only recently.

[Nightshade]

Right back to hot showers it is then....:nod:

And exactly might point... if they are goiung to make a fuss about checking for lumps they m,ight actually show people how to do it.

[stephofthenight]

having had 6 ear infections in the last 3 months, i see where you are at. qtips are a nono for me. and well i found these ear candles, it creates a suction and it pulls the wax and other gunk out without the risk of damaging your ear. just use a plate under it in case when you go to trim it the ash drops.

I read that these ear candles were a scam. If you burn the candle away from your ear, it will drip the same funk you thought was coming out of your ear.

[papayahed]

I heard that also.

My friends mom used to roll up a newspaper, stick that in his ear, and light the other end on fire.

I think I might have made a bit of a foolish mistake, I traded my exactly year old Next handbag - wel not excatly traded my sister wouldnt stop nagging me-- for a brand new copy of the Peguins Great ideas edition of The vindication of the Rights of women and a pair of 4 year old 2 and half inch inch cream sandles , unfortunatly there seems to be something a bit dodgy with the right heel and my feet are now covered in blisters.

oops.... :rolleyes: I got disracted by the book Ive been after it for 2 years.
