Nice looking bag, papayahed. I love big RED bag! that's a lot like the red one I'm carrying now.Quote:

I wore the black ones on the plane coming back home and by the time I got back to Louisiana it felt like I was walking on marbles. I wore the brown ones earlier this week and it was like walking on clouds (ok not clouds but they were comfortable). What gives? Do I have to practice on the black ones or are they a lost cause???
I take it the brown boots and the black boots are not the same style? I dunno. Shoes can be so difficult. I need shoes that look decent but are comfortable to walk in as I have to walk downtown from the parking garage to the office and that includes about 3 pairs of the many cheap shoes I own that I bought when walking wasn't such a big deal as the other office had front door parking.
I don't suppose you can just take them back can you?
You know, I always thought it was just me. But, I buy boots, shoes, ankle boots on sale and I usually get a brown and a black pair. But the brown ones are always more comfortable. I don't have any idea why unless it's just the leather or the way they treat the leather to use different dyes. I always wear my brown boots/shoes out but never the black ones.
I am just the opposite. I am all about black shoes. My brown slides are hideous. They're quite cute, but they creak when I walk. My brown boots are uncomfortable. I don't like brown. Oh, and about taking them back? I don't know if you bought them at a chain or what, but if you didn't, I guess taking them back isn't an option seeing as how you bought them out of town.Quote:

I don't think I can take the current boots back I wore them outside.
Try to take them back anyway if you're near a store like the one you got them in. You never know and they just might take them back.Quote:

yes that is possible. I use to walk around in heels alot. Then along came two years of archaeology with its flat steel toes, and almost three years of airport with flats and nowheels kill me.
How is your work going Niamh?(love the new status btw, I always assumed you were 100% both :p)
Speaking of new boots!!(and a new skirt,for that matter)

I love them so! Although, they aren't that comfy...
those types of boots are all over Ireland at the moment. In fashion.
Guess what everyone! I'm going to the hairdressers tomorrow! I havent been to one in over seven years!:p (sister was a hairdresser) Might post a pick of my new hair when i'd done!:D
seven years!!:eek2: How long is your hair now?Quote:

I got bangs and it's way shorter now. If I was at home I'd post before and after pics.Quote:

But the salon is good - the place I go to now has all these great smells and I get a free head massage with every cut using aromatic oils. Although, I must say, with this part time work and student life, I may have to cut back.
My parents are really thrifty so I've never gone to salon (yes, I can hear Shalot chocking on her breath :p). I last cut my hair three years ago and usually cut my own ends in the bathroom. :p
(oooh, does anyone have any idea what I should put in it, since I moved to a cold climate? I'm confused now!)

I love going to salons because I love having people play with my hair and the smells are nice too. I go somewhere different everytime because when I decide to get my hair cut, I want it done now, within say, 15 or 20 minutes, I don't have the patience to call a specific person or salon and make an appointment. I'm all about instant gratification. :p :rolleyes:
Well my sister always cut it for me, but my hair is half way down my back.Quote:

I found this really good hairdresser there and everytime I go there she remembers me. She knows exactly how I want my hair done. I have never been disappointed with her. Every time I go she can tell I trimmed by own bangs.
My English friends call them 'fringe' if that helps. Maybe you're more familiar with that term for them.Quote:

I should have known it was trouble because the aveda hairdresser kept saying my previous hairdresser made a lot of mistakes but I think my previous hairdresser followed the curl of my hair whereas the aveda guy probably did it technically correct as if I had straight hair. Thats my hypothesis at least.Quote:

good call, I was trying to think of another term besides bangs. Couldn't pull it. I think I have heard the term fringe before, though.Quote:

My cousin's wife has her hair nearly to her knees! No joke! It's beautiful, but she once went to the beach and didn't bother to put it up. She spent two hours that night trying to comb it out.
my hair... my poor hair has gone wierd... and the other day I look in the nirror and my whole scalp was peeling... I thought it was terrible dandruff ( some ho appearing overnight) but now Im pretty sure what happened was I was so tierd I forgot to rinse the shampoo out of my hair and it dried in great white soapy flakes..
:rolleyes:

my mum says that shaving is a bad idea because my hair will grow back prickaly and irritate me, so the question is has anyone here by anychace had to shave their head?
And how long till it grew back... my hair is nearly mid back length again now... so obviously I dont mean all the way back but a decent covers the pointy tops ofmy ears length,
I have moderate to sever psoriasis and I have considered shaving my head several times in order to treat my scalp more effectively but have never gotten up the nerve. I'd be interested in knowing if any other women here have ever done it too.
how about a bob?Quote:
