My response is usually "chug down some caffine and don't look in the mirror", but I know I'm not a normal female... :D

LUSH are amazing! Their products, I love them. I've been to the original store as well :D Also, I tend to get a lot of dry skin and LUSH stuff is good for that, as is Goats milk... I love my goats milk moisturiser.

Now, what kind of outfit would complete them?

I'm still working on the "total" ensemble.

On a different note, I have the worst dark circles under my eyes... Any remedies?

Robot's get dark circles?

OK, I'm about to do a bad thing. I'm going to dye my hair!! :yikes: Wish me luck. Last time I left it on too long and my hair was far too dark.

Just cut the pants off just below the knee. You'd be the most fashionable, accident-prone, capri-wearing brontosaurus in town!

God first time I tried dying my hair... I didnt realise 'Temporary' means 'Permanent' if you're dying darker than you're hair colour and my hair went from light brown to almost black for months!

Then I grew it out, that was amusing because my hair is over a metre in length! Took 3 years to get the dyed hair all cut off!! :eek2:

Well Iguess I will have to go back to what I did when I was last living here and they didnt have bras that fit me... binding! Painful because it limits the amount of breath you can draw in, and it takes ages too wrap and layer and pin every morning but effective in the short run. And I only have 10 weeks left and if push comes to shove I can attemppt to repair the damaged ones.

I Recenntly got a hair cut ( only my 3rd professional cut in 12 years) I loved it at first but now I am not so sure. MY hair was nearly waist long and I got waht was supposed to be an inverted bob with the back almost shaved but I discovered that the hairdresser just brushed it to hide the uneve mess she made. ANd now my hair has gone from bein brittle and dry to constatly greasy...*sigh*

But what I am still tempted to do is get a real BeccaT inspired hair do like Ive always wanted (and because it is so cheap at this hairdressers is get my hair bleeached white and then streaked hot pink and whatever the blue is called basically the colours I am wearing in the photgraph from the library...http://www.online-literature.com/forums/blog.php?b=8340
but I am not sure... :troll:

Nightshade, if I may offer advice about the hair...go blue... Pink has a tendency to turn purple on top... while you have it in its nice and pretty pink than wash and you have purple hair...deff. one for the pros. blue is pretty easy to controll thou :D just dont go cookie monster.

A friend of mine went straight for a dark purple, looked gorgeous. Another friend is vividly pink but she has to maintain that colour a lot more than most :P

Many moons ago, for about a year, I had purple highlights. It looked quite good (I am a natural dark-head) - though depending on the shade it can turn towards red as well.

I love purple hair... But, all said and done, my favorite is electric blue!

Papaya> How did it all go? I always dye my own hair without much complication (apart from the time I tried to add highlights :goof:).

I have a student who is a hairdresser and claims that Head&Shoulder shampoo is excellent to strip off any unwanted dye from the hair but I haven't tried it myself.

Purple is awesome, my fiance banned me from dying my hair ever again... Not that I could, it took 2 bottles to do it when it was short, now its over a metre in length - I just couldnt afford the dye!

I think it went ok. I've been at work for 3 hours and nobody has commented.

I would love electric blue hair but I think I may be too old at this point. :bawling:
