I wear clip in extensions nearly every day now. The prices have come down drastically on real hair extensions and I bought to try out for my wedding. I'm addicted now. I've been playing more and more with hairstyles because of them.

A man who is good with their hands. Someone who can take on a project and fix it. Someone who does not procrastinate until the last minute. Responsible. Honest. A bit old-fashioned with manners. Someone who inexplicably reminds me of my dad. A person with whom silence is peaceful and right...

Thanks ladies- I'll try the extended technique and the Lipcote.

I am looking for a super long lasting non-drying red (little gloss factor) for my wedding. I used a Loreal 12 hour thing for my engagement shots and it was gone in little over an hour of applying it. I have thin lips so things tend to "crust" up on the outer edges and I have total color failure...

Think about what length you want your hair when it is styled. If you want to sit curled at your shoulders, leave a bit more length than cutting it at your shoulders. It will bounce up more than when you had such long hair with it's weight. You can always go shorter until you get it exactly...

I should have a month by the time it comes in. I have extra fabric already to do with what I want so I don't need ot rely on whatever/if some comes of fthe length. Having just a wrap is cumbersome as I would be tugging and pulling at it constantly to keep in place as I really don't want my back...

I adore that bill levkoff dress and was actually trying to convince the Maid of honor to wear it!

You ladies are wonderful. I hadn't thought of shortening the dress - but that may be a good option. It is actually pretty huge on the bottom with a crinoline in place and has a nice chapel length train. I do like the idea of cap sleeves. Or I played around with the idea of adding a chiffon...

Inspirations - Love this on the right and the pink. I love this as an option - to side drape chiffon from one side to the other and then tack into place on the back and drape down. Or the picture on the bottom - to do a pleated type strap that will widen into a v in the back...

Ladies- Boy do I need some help and some ideas. I recently purchased a modern wedding dress in the hopes that it came close to my vision of inspiration in my head. I unfortunately spent months trying to find the perfect vintage dress - but anything I liked, I certainly could not squeeze...

Hair extensions. I adore them and I don't care if anyone thinks they are silly. I feel like this is what I am supposed to look like.

All I can do is send hugs your way. I know that when my father had his strokes - I prepared to move within a week to move back in with them. It is an incredibly difficult decision to make. I drew up plans for adding a ramp. I knew my mother could not physically handle it. Unfortunately he took...

I do know a little photography secret about the chin. When posing, press your tongue up to the roof of your mouth. Instantly raises it a smidge. Shoulders back and neck out slightly helps too. As for exercises for that area - hmmm - I'm clueless.

Antje - I know I don't have the length - but I am taking a copy of this to my hairdresser for my wedding hair inspiration. It is simply lovely!

I am going to sing the praises of the Moosewood line of cookbooks. I loved these when I went veg. and learned how to cook. Find a few staple things you love that can be made quickly. Regarding eating out, I actually gained a lot of weight going veg though because I ended up frustrated at my...
