Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

But, now a new situation has presented itself. How does one put make-up on if one has glasses? I mean, not 'how' (take the glasses off and put it on, although that may be a challenge ), but to what extent? Less colour, no? Because otherwise eyes start to compete with glasses and that may not be such a great sight.

Well, it depends on your glasses. If they magnify your eyes your makeup should be soft and subtle, but if they make your eyes look smaller then you can use darker or brighter colours and emphasise your eyes more (with eyeliner and mascara).

Also, don't use waterproof mascara. It's very difficult to remove which will make your lashes fall out. Even when you wash off normal mascara don't rub to much and make sure to use warm water. Usually people lose lashes because of rubbing and not the mascara itself.

I never wear make-up. I'm a natural girl . It is a nuissance, can't rub your eyes or there are black marks and that's a poblem when you're tired. Not to mention when something has flown into your eye...

Haha, that's actually the reason why I started wearing make-up I mean the fact that you can't rub your eyes when you're wearing mascara. When I was sixteen, I realised that wearing mascara was the only way I could keep myself from rubbing my eyes, which really made a big difference during the pollen allergy season, because rubbing one's eyes only makes the itching much worse.

Hey Kasie!

It's good that you're getting alternative treatment for the arthritis, and decreasing the cause for medication.

My aunt has been suffering from arthritis for years, and she's a firm believer in tablets - I think she probably took every medication that there is for arthritis.

Unfortunately, for the past month she's been in the hospital, suffering from all the side effects from those tablets. She needed blood, and blood platelets, just so that her body could now respond to the new medication that they're giving her.

My advice to everyone out there - man or woman - of you can prevent an illness, it's the best thing, or if you find an alternative treatment for it, please try it, as long as it's not fishy business.

The massage is really good for the arthritis. You can even try aqua-aerobics, or pilates, or tai-chi.

Hey all.

I just wanted everyone to know that my aunt who was in the hospital succumbed to her illness, and she died two weeks ago. She was 47.

She'd had RhA all her life, and the medication that she'd been taking had a side effect of lymphoma. The chemo did nothing for her. She was too weak and frail.

She left behind her husband, her 21-year old daughter, and her 11-year old son. It's hard for all of them.

I am very sorry, Tournesol, for your aunt and her family.

[kiki1982]

oh... my condolences too, Tournesol to you and your family.

[faithosaurus]

I'm very sorry Tournesol

I do hope things get better for all of you.

Does anybody know how to get nail polish off leather?

[Niamh]

does the remover not work?

[kiki1982]

I wouldn't try remover on leather, somehow... If you're unlucky, you'll take the shine off... Unless it's in a discreet place, of course.

I'll have a look on the net.

[edit] So... There are a few entries for for nail polish remover or acetone (eHow.com), but one also mentioned taking the residue off with water and leather cleaner.

There was also one for a sofa, and that mentioned hairspray.

I would find the hairspray thing the safest.

I afraid to try it, I don't want to ruin the leather.

[JuniperWoolf]

I once spilled silver nail polish on my favorite black pants, a lot of it. I kept them in my closet for almost a year afterwards in mourning, I knew that I would never be able to get the polish out. *despondent sigh*

[kiki1982]

I afraid to try it, I don't want to ruin the leather.

I would be afraid of that too, but why don't you try it on the lining (failing the hairspray)? There is bound to be a small piece of the same leather your jacket is made of turned inside or something. Then you can try to put some on it, wait about 24 hours and then have a look. If nothing much has happened, go ahead.


So you don't end up like Mr Bean and Whistler's Mother.

I'll give the hair spray a shot when I get home tonight.


Which leads me to my next issue, what color are you guys wearing on your nails? I can't find a cute summer color to save my life. I tried this minty green but the polish is crap, it goes on all streaky. Next, I tried this yellowish greenish color with looks like puke on, now I have on a lime color which is ok but quite honestly it isn't knocking my socks off.

[kiki1982]

I don't colour my nails anymore, but I sued to as a teenager.

If it goes on streaky and you don't want that, you'll have to put on two layers. some nail polishes don't cover properly, so, like paint on the wall, another layer.

Two coats doesn't cut it and any more and it just looks gloppy. Good thing it was on sale.

I just picked up this color, we'll see:
