manderlyh Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I wish I could afford a pedicure every two weeks! I used to get my nails done every two weeks, but then it became too much of an expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katuschka Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 sorry for neglecting the thread ......... do we want to discuss hair care? i have been using good old pantene shampoos and conditioners for about 10 years now. i try new ones now and again when they come on the market, but i haven't found one better than pantene, and it's not expensive, which is a great bonus. i just cut quite a bit off the length of my hair the other day, as i hadn't done that in ages, and it really needed it! my hair grows so fast, which is annoying, cos i have to touch up the roots every few weeks! what are your favourite products? I've been using henna for years, and I'm not going to stop anytime soon. Not only the colour is precious, but it's much much better than any synthetic cure or balsam. As for shampoo, I try to change the brand with every new bottle, though I usually choose from three of four favourite brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fool In The Rain 60 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thank-you Ladies, a good way of keeping those feet in tip-top condition is to soak them in a warm sea salt solution for 15 minutes, then use a good quality Hard Skin removing cream. To give them a really good finish try using 'Emu' oil. I know this works as I never have hard skin. Maybe 'Emu' oil is the answer to all our Beauty needs as their range seems to cover everything... If anyone has tried any of these products please let us know... I shall have a good look at some of the other post later today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi 'Slave' Sorry to hear about your car, will you have a long delay in getting to the Doctors to find out about your Treatment?. I hope that any Ladies that were having prob's with their Thyroid are having Annual Blood test as I know how Important they are, as well as Smear Test and also Mamograms. I'm glad that I live in the U.K as a lot of our Medicines are free I cannot comprehend how much it would cost in my Household in Perscriptions. It was nice to see that some of the Men did get involved in this 'Topic' Mr fool (BD) wishes your and your Family a very 'Happy Christmas', and you a pain free 'New Year' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I bought THIS DRESS the other day; got it in black for 50% off ($45) and I absolutely LOVE it!! You can dress it up, or dress it down and it fits great! It's a stretchy knit. Also, a thumbs up to the new John Frieda foam permanent hair color. I was really skeptical about the foam process, but I had a coupon for a free box so I gave it a try and was very pleased. It had great coverage, the color stayed true and didn't fade, and it came with cool black gloves that were much higher quality than those flimsy plastic ones other manufacturers provide. It doesn't offer nearly as many shades though. Edited December 21, 2011 by Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Virginia, I bet you look marvelous in it:-) Thanks; I blinged it up a bit with a sparkly necklace/earrings and some sparkly black flats/black hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 'Virginia' does the Foam colour cover 100% grey? Well done on the Dress sounds like a real bargain I'm probably almost 50%, and it covered mine. It didn't fade either. I typically color every 3-4 weeks; the color held up better than L'Oreal Excellence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betteremily Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I hate those color kits. IMO they have the worst dye. If you go to a beauticians shop and and buy the color and the developer separate, buy a cheap bottle and a pair of reusable gloves, you'll save money and have a more effective line of dye to choose from. Plus, if you stick with a color you like you'll have a bottle of developer left over for the future, as you only use 2-4 oz at a time. Just make sure you get the right developer! I love Sally's. Those ladies were always so helpful and I really needed help! http://www.sallybeau..._Hair&psortd1=1 I bought my sister a wax burner, wax and some strips, stick and some skin calming lotion Christmas of last year. I think Sally got about $35 of my money. She hasn't gone through even half the wax. Goes back for strips every now and then. I saved her at least $8 at the salon per visit. Sally's economical. Anyone ever try this? This woman does a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they do a nice blonde I will give it a try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betteremily Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Major, Surprise her with a gift certificate to a spa for a manicure and pedicure, maybe even a massage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betteremily Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Good Charlotte? No. Honestly it really doesn't mean anything. haha If she goes for the spa the one time, she may want to maintain them. She'll be the first to notice the difference. Like you said, you don't want to give her a complex. That's why I thought you could throw in the mani and massage. Also, try working it into your "time together"?

Hi 'Slave' how is it going with those spurs, any idea of what they are going to do for you? Do you have Treatment for your Knees? The 'Rooster Booster' Injections are quite good, I have them every 6 months, along with Knee Washes every 18-24 months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
