  • How to Take Advantage of Clothing Consignment Shops

    20 May 2010 0 comments

    Women with limited closet space can make some quick cash by taking their excess clothing to consignment shops. These shops generally work one of two ways. 1) The shop purchases your clothing directly and then puts it up for sale in the store. 2) They allow you to place your garments in their shop and the store takes a percentage of the profits once an item is sold. The great thing about consignment shops is you can make some quick cash, free up closet space and you can also find new items to add to your own wardrobe at well-below retail price. Here are some tips to help improve your consignment store experience:

    19 Jun 2009 0 comments

    Stay at home mothers, whether they have a paying job that is done from their home or are spending their time caring for their home and family, often neglect themselves as far as fashion goes. When most days are consumed by cooking, cleaning and childcare, it is all too easy to simply throw on a pair of sweat pants and pull your hair up in a ponytail. However, this can lead to an embarrassing situation, should someone drop by or if you need to run out on an unexpected errand. By following a few simple fashion tips, any stay at home mother can be comfortable enough to get down on the floor and play with the kids, while still looking good enough for a last-minute trip out to lunch.

  • Baby shower gift ideas

    30 Jul 2010 7 replies

    I am attending a friend’s baby shower next weekend.
    Any good gift ideas? Apart from the usual.

  • Eyebrow/body hair grooming

    30 Jul 2010 9 replies

    The thread about superstitions got me thinking:

    How do you all keep your eyebrows in check?

    Tweezing and threading are really painful (maybe more like irritating) for me. Never done wax on them - just seems really scary (nevermind the fear of my eyebrows never growing back if too much is taken off.) I’ve tried one of those little shaver things (http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00QMtaGEYcBlkh/Eyebrow-Razor-EBRA2038-.jpg), but it sometimes left weird eyebrow stubble. So at the moment, I’m tweezing, but I really hate it and would love to hear other options, if they exist.

  • Best Way to Tan

    25 Jun 2010 7 replies

    What is the best way for a fairly light skinned person to tan? Should I use tanning products or just let the sun and water do its work?

  • To tan, or not to tan?

    24 Jun 2010 6 replies

    I was just wondering what you girlies do?

    I have never actually been that bothered about getting a tan and actually quite enjoy being bright white! :D

    Do any of you feel the pressure to bake in the sun? Or spend a lot of money on fake tan?

    Btw, this was prompted by a pic of me and my best friend that was taken a couple of days ago where I look like I glow in the dark - it was the flash, even I’m not that white! raspberry
