Sure- Amazon's website made it look confusing!

Rejuvacote is one bottle- one singular product. One step.
It is a clear product when applied, but the bottles look a little pinker from photo to photo on the website.
What they show (forget their wording) is multiple packs of bottles.
Try one bottle, follow the recommended application, (be sure to include the nail tip) and see how you like it once the bottle is done. Keep us posted!
(P.S. their prices are in line- and the bottle lasts a long time.)

Miracote is another product- it is a top coat to be used to seal nail polish and give it a glossy finish. Very good for glossing up the polish between manicures, but has no reparative effect on the nails.
Rejuvacote flew off my shelves at the salon.
Oh yes, remember to use a non- acetone ONLY polish remover, then wash that off with gentle soap.
:)

Lip plumpers that work ... has anyone found a good product?

Anyone?
 

Class?

Never thought of that..
 

My goodness, you are probably right! I have to be extremely careful with skin products, fragrances, WOW...crazy that I never thought of it. I shall look at your website and I hope your venture in TV prospers. Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification, Uptown Girl.

Does anyone know what day the restaurant coupons appear in the daily newspaper? Thanks.

The 'Dining Guide' which has the two pages of restaurant ads/coupons is in the Thursday paper.

I just realized that you posted a picture showing your haircut.
It looks great on you, but it wouldn't work for me as I always hide behind long bangs.
I love your eyebrows, they are so natural looking.
If you don't mind sharing ... If your hair is mostly silver, how do you keep your eyebrows dark?

If your hair is abundant enough at the bang area, you can do this same haircut and keep long bangs- have your stylist section off the bangs (in a triangle from almost your crown) and leave them alone… do the rest of the cut, then lightly integrate the bangs in at the end, when the hair is almost dry… leaving them at the length that is comfortable for you.
The front will look like Kaley Cuoco's recent pixie cut.

My brows (thanks, by the way) are showing a little silver here and there and are thinning a bit along with my hair.
I fill them in lightly with an artist's colored pencil (a medium grey) using short, vertical strokes, just as if I were drawing them on paper.
I remove any wayward strokes with a damp Q tip.

here's a tip- if you have a regular (graphite) pencil that has softer graphite, softer than a #2, it makes a perfect eyebrow pencil that works with almost any color brow. Just dull the tip a bit, so it is not sharp and use tiny vertical strokes.

I have also used an angled makeup brush (wet it) and matte eye shadow in the same way. It stays in place until you cleanse or wet your face.
That takes a bit more practice than using a pencil- and you'll want your shadow pan to dry completely before putting it away.

They have some great brush on products (like Dermabrow) online, but they are pricey ($30 + shipping)- so I experimented with what I had on hand and it worked for me.

I use matte eye shadow now. Or when I'm lazy, I wear a baseball hat, cover my eyebrows with my bangs and hope the wind doesn't blow. :)

What is your opinion on having eyebrows tattooed? I've seen some that are horrendous, and others using short strokes that look somewhat natural (after the first few weeks).

I'm not sure how this hair cut would work in a golf cart.
But it sure would make the "growing out grey" process simpler.
Of course it looks great on her because she is young and has good bone structure.

In my opinion, you've got to consider the long term effects. Face muscles change with age. Your brow line will too. Tattoos change with age, pigment colors change over time with exposure to sunlight (and perhaps even ph in the skin)
There is an old thread on this topic somewhere- where I talked about an otherwise beautiful woman I met at a party who owned a 'permanent brow' salon. Her brows were tattooed. She thought they looked fabulous. They truly unnerved everyone else.

OH YEAH, that haircut cut (in total) would look pretty trashed after a golf cart ride.
Just mentioned it as an example of a pixie with long bangs in front. REALLY long bangs. That is a razor cut, by the way.
AND you are right, the ideal haircut is balanced to one's bone structure- or, as in my case, lack of bone structure.
If I have to be reincarnated again, I'm picking out high cheekbones, an exquisite jawline and full brows next time. :jester:

Would like to find golf partner
 

I'm not ready to commit to a league, but would like to find someone who would like to play golf one or two days a week. (9 holes) I'm new to The Villages and miss my golfing gals from Michigan. I live in the Village of Pinellas near the library. I'm a terrible golfer, but love to go out and laugh at myself try to play the game.

I am also a terrible golfer, but I enjoy the fresh air.
I'd be interested in playing one afternoon each week (Wednesday or Friday), starting in 2015.
We do follow the rules, play ready golf and keep up the pace.
I know a couple of other terrible golfers who would probably be interested in joining us. :laugh:
Would you be willing to play on mid-Villages golf courses? (One girl lives in a far north Village).
Whatdayathink?

I am very new to golf as well and also live near the library (off and on until the house in Virginia gets sold). I'd love to get up with a group that is new/terrible/likes to have fun.

All of this sounds great to me. Since we're so close to the holidays, maybe we can plan to get together to play some golf after the rush is over. Let me know and I'll PM you my phone number.

Can I join too?:bowdown:

The more the merrier!

To anyone interested in playing FUN golf on Wednesday afternoons:

If you PM me with your email address and Villages ID #,
I'll try to arrange a game for Wednesday, January 7.

I'm so with you there, Bare. I'm looking for one, also biweekly, that is reasonably priced, will show up when they say they will, and actually clean ALL the things in my house, like dust picture frames, wipe down cabinets in the kitchen, clean the shower, empty the trash cans in the bathroom, dust my bedframe, vacuum the ONE rug in my house. Am I asking too much? I have 2 dog beds in my bedroom. One woman thought it would be ok to take the dog bed and put it on TOP of my own human bed and bedspread while she mopped my bedroom floor. I didn't agree with that idea. Frankly, I couldn't see how she thought that dirty thing seemed like it would belong on my clean bed. Am I too picky? When I lived in PA we had the same woman clean for 11 years and never a complaint. Since we have been here we have had 3 different people come and not come back with no explanation. And charge us 25% more than we were paying in PA and do less for the money. I just don't get it. Someone please explain it to me. I don't think I'm cranky or unkind or unreasonable but I do have a standard in my head of what a cleaning person should do (show up is one of thing).
I have a 1550 sq ft villa. It's all tile. What do people pay?

I can recommend Lisa Marie Grasso at 352. 552. 1192.
I am not sure if she is taking new customers or what she charges for biweekly cleaning, but she is top notch! You can tell her Kim and Rae recommended her..

Fraugoofy, I cannot thank you enough for your recommendation!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I spoke with Lisa Grasso this morning, and she is fitting me in for cleaning tomorrow! Yay!
I have company coming Thursday so the timing is perfect. And she is able to take me on as a bi-weekly customer.
I am so very appreciative of your suggestion. :ho:

Glad I could help.

I think with Wen and other products marketed in the same way, you pay for a lot of HYPE.

Hello Gorgeous.
 

NOT....if I looked like YOU.

I think your hair looks great. Did you not like Whitney at Urban Hair? I would kill for hair as thick as yours. And a cute face. You should listen to GG!

old Renee from Victorias is now at Cal's in Brownwood

I haven't tried WEN yet. Okay, so I bought it on QVC and sent it back -- didn't even open the box!

But, I was flipping channels the other day and Chaz (sp?) was on QVC again! He mentioned that a lot of women have been reporting that their fingernails have been a lot better since they started using WEN. He said it was because of the lack of chemicals in it.

I thought I would mention it since I knew you were having problems with your nails -- like me!! I've been thinking about ordering it again to see if it really helped with nails!! But, I love Nick Chavez' products and really hate to switch!

I talked myself into thinking I llke Nick's products so why switch!! lol. I really wished I tried it now since they say it helps the fingernails! My nails are a wreck!

I am putting this question here in the Girl Talk thread because I know I will get an answer and nobody will judge me for baking chocolate chip cookies.

A long time ago, I heard something about putting a slice of bread in with the cookies when they are stored in a tight container. I think that is supposed to make the cookies crispier. Makes sense I guess. . .

Or does it?

Seems like the bread would act as sort of a dehumidifier. So crispy cookies would result. But bread dries out if you leave it out. . .so would the bread give off moisture and make the cookies chewier? Well, I guess the bread would not really be out if sealed in the container with the cookies. So I guess the answer is, for sure, crispy cookies. Or is it?

What to do? What to do?

Should I just eat all the cookies straight out of the oven so I don't have to worry about them?

Overthinking Laurie

The moisture in the slice of bread will keep the cookies SOFT.

I vote to eat them the same day... then you won't need to buy bread :)

Of course you should eat all the cookies out of the oven.
But make sure you eat them standing up, calories don't count if you're standing up!
And if you run out of home-made chocolate chip cookies, I noticed the Girl Guides are selling cookies at Publix!
