    On the subject of steph...

    Hear, hear, Virgil. There may have been considerable imprudence at play, but only a speck was on Steph's part - the rest belongs to those who believe hedonism comes without a price

    That pretty much sums it up for me. I just wish there were more men - heroes - to keep this kind of thing from happening. Poor Steph - caught in a terrible predicament for which she had no desire and could only barely have foreseen. I suppose we can only hope her troubles will pass soon.

I hardly ever go out without a bottle of water (unless it's a night out or dinner or such, then I'll have a smaller bag, but for daily use my bag must fit a half-litre bottle), umbrella since I live in the UK , if I have to take public transport I often have a book or two (which I don't read because I have music with me too ), and then all things like wallet, tissues, keys, sometimes a small mirror, pens, sometimes paper cos you never know... sometimes food if I'm like working or something and I need energy...
    Although I admit that my massive bag phase was due to university...

    Some people also carry a comb and deodorant...

    Problem is that, the more you fill it, the heavier it is...

    Hey girls,

    I have a question about hair colouring. I have straight, black hair, and I do not want to deviate much from the original colour. Do you think colouring will damage hair to a great extent? Will it lead to grey hair, if later I discontinue? What are the risks involved?

    Coloring becomes this ongoing thing that you have to continue doing month after month if you are not careful. If you don't want to go much lighter than your natural color, then it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

    I've heard that you shouldn't have your hair colored while you're pregnant, but people still get their hair colored anyway, so I don't know about the risks.

    As far as hair damage, if you leave the color on too long, you can damage the hair you have and it's harder to brush and you have to spend a lot of time conditioning it. But I haven't heard anything about hair color affecting your future hair growth really.

    If I were you, I would get a semi-permanent dye to start with. It washes out after a month or so, so there is no real commitment there. Then if you like what you got, you could go permnanent. Or you could just get a few strands woven in for a subtle change. And you could do those strands demi or semi permanent if you wanted. Are you planning to have someone else do it? That might be wise.

    Good luck. I myself have a love/hate relationship with hair color. I had highlights and lowlights for years and got tired of it so I tried going down to my natural color. I didn't like that so I had a some semi-permanent red that I did myself, but I really prefer someone else to do the coloring even if it's not complicated. So the latest is my natural, which is this dark blonde with just a few face framing very blonde highlights

    I will be going to a professional, ofcourse. As of now, I don't know if I want to go for highlights or colouring entirely, the professionals will guide as to what will suit (highlights or complete colour) and they would also know what products to use after, which is an important thing to maintain the hair colour and the quality.

    Going for semi-permanent colour initially seems like a good idea. I will be able to decide within a month if I want to continue or not.

    I was a bit worried about the damage, if I discontinue. I have heard people saying that as there is chemical content, such colouring may result in grey hair, in that case, you won't be able to discontinue. I guess, if proper care is taken, using right shampoo and conditioner, this may be avoided.

    That's nice! My handbags usually look like that (more or less). After a long search, I finally got a new bag but not so sure about it. It's a gift; not exactly the colour or model I would usually go for but it is a nice change.

    And what's a handbag anyway? Here today, gone tomorrow!

    exactly.

    That's my first big handbag!! I'm kinda liking it - I can put everything in there, including the kitchen sink.

    I don't think I'm much of a girl when it comes to handbags. I've never had a handbag that model or anything similar. I wear a backpack when I go to school, and then I have a different model (not a handbag though) when I'm not in school. Don't you get tired of CARRYING the bag around everywhere? Why not just let it hang over your shoulder. Someone needs to convince me about handbags.

    I use big bags all the time. But i'm fussy about bags whether they are small or big. They must be able to be slung over my neck and sit against my hip. I dont like bags that i have to hold, although i do have a few, but they are usually for parties.

    I think I have a thing for red bags, for some reason I'm always drawn to them.


    So, todays dilemma:

    I think I say "So" far to often - I'm going to work on that. Anyways, I was home for Thanksgiving and I bought to new pairs of boots. One brown one black. They both have about a 2 in. (5 cm) heel. 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?
