    Dumb question about red hair!

    Well, assuming you're using 20 volume developer (I think most permanent box dyes come with this; don't quote me on that, though), you can go a level or two lighter than your natural color without needing to use a separate bleach. If you mean no lift at all, though, you're not going to get much...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I haven't had any adverse effects from the Jergens, but I'm already pretty tired of the scent. Whatever scent it is. I think I might try the Queen Helene when this runs out.

    Nutrition and exercise!

    I am lactose intolerant enough that most cheeses make me feel sick. :( I still eat them sometimes, though. There is nothing that can take cheese's place. (Don't even get me started on vegan "cheeses." They don't even melt properly.)

    Beauty Bargains

    If by NYC you meant New York Color (whose eyeshadows I absolutely love, though the ones I have don't seem to be on their site), they still make nail polish. I don't know if those are the same ones you liked, though.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    This is very slightly OT, but I have a weird question. I switched to the Jergens the other day because, hey, it's cheaper and comes in a bigger tub. I was slightly disappointed it doesn't smell like their original scent lotion, but now I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what it does...

    Show us your hair do's....

    So I gave up on the sponge rollers. They just never seemed to dry out all the way, so my curls never stayed in. I switched to the plastic snap-cover kind, and they are a pain in the neck to sleep in, but I have curls! This is a major victory for me. Sorry for the grainy picture; I...

    What type of Unit/Army are you interested in?

    I'm fascinated by the WA(A)Cs, because they paved the way for female soldiers. Also the Army Air Forces, because my grandfather served in them. I need to make a note to get my dad to sign the form requesting Grandpa's service records. I have no idea what units he was in or anything, and my...

    Oh I hit the jackpot

    GoddessMama, I have a Mac as well, and I use HandBrake. It's a free DVD ripper and video encoder. There might be a bit of a learning curve if you're not at all familiar with video encoding or editing, but it's really not hard once you get the hang of it. It doesn't watermark your files or...

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    I've only had fish and chips once, at this little restaurant I forget the name of, off I-5 in Washington state. I liked them, but for me, real comfort food is homemade biscuits with butter, and maybe jelly or gravy (brown not sausage). Not both at the same time, of course. Or fried chicken...

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    I wash my hair daily. Twice sometimes in the summer. In the winter or fall I might go a day between washing it, but the rest of the year it gets sweaty even on days I don't go to the gym, and I can't stand it. Now that I've grown out the damage from dying it too often, my hair doesn't seem to...

    Show us your hair do's....

    I tried channeling a little Marylin today... ...but sweat and humidity kind of got the best of me. Also I cannot take a picture to save my life. :eusa_doh: This one's blurry, even for me, but it shows more of the hairstyle: Slightly less blurry, but I halfway decapitated myself! lol...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I think I just found the perfect shade of red for me--for a dollar! I was just in Dollar General on my way home, grabbing some kitty litter, when I saw their LA Colors display. They had a bunch of dollar lipsticks, and one was in a pretty promising shade of red, so I figured at that price, I...

    So, do you wear Sunscreen?

    I put it on if I know I'm going to be outdoors all day, but I'm really bad at remembering to put it on every day. I bought a face lotion with SPF 45+, so that's covered, but I get sunburnt every so often on my arms just driving around because my body lotion doesn't have any. I ought to fix...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    Getting contacts. Not because I didn't like how I looked with glasses--I did--but because now I can wear sunglasses. (Prescription ones were always too expensive for me!) My eyes are pretty photosensitive, but I look so much better now that I'm not walking around with a squint and a cross...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I have pretty oily skin myself, especially in the summer, and I switched to the cold cream & witch hazel routine (with Pears soap and witch hazel in the mornings) about a month ago with no ill effects. It's even made my skin slightly less oily, I think, and it's really made a difference with...

    Barbeque

    I realize you posted this more'n a minute ago, but I have to take exception to the sharp delineation of sauce territories in this map. I am an Upstate girl born and bred, but I grew up eating mustard barbecue like a civilized person. ;) Don't really care for the tomato or ketchup kinds, myself.

    Refills for Vintage Compacts

    I can't wait to see how this turned out! Given my love of vodka, I am torn between delight at the idea of vodka-powder, and dismay at the waste of a perfectly good drink!

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Nice to meet y'all. I wandered here from someone's blog, I think, and before I knew it, I was hooked. This forum is a goldmine of information! I'm a full-time college student right now, and I admit that part of my fascination with vintage fashion is due to my frustration with how my...
