    Abandoned air fields in England

    My grandfather flew out of Deopham Green...I've been looking at photos all morning. Although it has been demolished I would still like to walk on the grounds. He died before I was born...I would feel close to him there. He was a ball turret gunner on Sack Time Sioux.

    WEN cleansing conditioner?

    Sally's has a knock off of this stuff. I have the jojoba one and LOVE it!!! I use it every other day (I wash every day). Makes my hair totally smooth with very little effort. I do feel like it can build up on your hair if you use it every day. Its $10 at sallys (for the knock off)...give...

    WOW! I quit my job today to go to Cosmetology school

    No difference between "beauty school" and "Cosmetology"...I think "beauty" is a more generic term and could be used for Esthi classes or Nail tech classes. When you say Cosmetology it just means all of them including hair. Thanks for the vote of confidence! The reaction has been very...

    Inexpensive shampoo/conditioner recommendations?

    My "on a budget" go-to shampoo and cond is from Trader Joes....its their "Nourish" line. Its $2.50 a bottle (poo/cond) and its heavenly. Sometimes I find the need to try something expensive but I always come back to this stuff.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I have used this product too and did enjoy it. VERY light rose scent...almost no scent at all. Very think cream and a little goes a long way so although the jar is small you will still get many uses from it. Having said all of that I much prefer the Queen Helene Tripple Whipped Cold Cream and...

    Besame cosmetics

    I just got my latest besame order and here are my thoughts... Besame L/S in Merlot-Fantastic everyday red color...its bold with out being over the top. I feel like it is dryer than the other lip colors so I'm thinking it will stay on longer. Besame L/S in Chocolate Kiss-Got a sample of this...

    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    I was pretty much raised by my grandmother until I was around 12 and I loved to hear her stories about the war and her childhood. My grandfather died before I was born and all I had to remember him by was a worn picture of him standing in front of his flying fortress where he was a ball turret...

    Soap & Glory

    I have the shower gel with the built in lotion and I love it. Smells great (reminds me of SJP Lovely for some reason) and it does leave you very soft.

    Besame cosmetics

    LOVE everything I have from Besame. Esp Choc Kiss lipstick and the Rose Lotion...great for mixing with foundation. I have besame red lipstick and I do love it but it is a little dark for an everyday red. The crimson rouge is another product that takes some practice but once you master it you...
