attention girls: embrace your inner...

Bear in mind that most beauty products expire (they say you're supposed to replace lipstick every 6 months, but that you can probably get away with every year, for example).
well, i was talking more like lotion, body wash, perfumes, and hair stuff. i've always been told that those have a shelf life of 2 years.

one of the benefits of having had an akita was that he didn't get cold. he always looked at me like i was stupid when i tried to get him to NOT sleep in the snow...

Coco is a pomeranian who used to have a gorgeous double fur coat. Unfortunately, the kidney disease and old age have thinned out her fur. My poor baby. :(

Oh he's got a good lotion.

What kind? The only kind I've found that works for me in this cold is Kiehl's Creme de Corps. It's a bit pricey compared to drugstore brands but well worth it, imo.

Well, carry on then.

Once you get rid of a whole bunch of them, you'll be able to buy a couple new types at once. :)

I have a question. My fiancee has gotten horribly dry skin thanks to this crazy ass winter on his knuckles. I've never had it this bad so I'm not really sure what to do.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Bag Balm.

It's greasy stuff designed for cow udders, but it works on human skin like a charm.
 
Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

That stuff rocks... especially for baby rashes... Dang... I am spacy right now... lousy uterus...
 
Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

Okay, I'm sitting here at work with a broken contact lense in my eye. I called the local optician but they have to call my optician before giving me a replacement lense. Meanwhile - ouch. :(

I do and I found a place that gave me a lense so crisis averted! :)
 
Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

oh, i found a link to this awesome pic on a different site. it compares a whole bunch of different cups.
 
Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

I've got a question for those of you that have bought divacups (or similar) online - does it come in a suspicious-looking package that my housemates will be curious about?

Are there stores where you can buy them in person?
 
Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

i can't speak for all possible stores, but whenever i've bought such items online, they've come in rather plain packages, i.e. no big label on it that says "MENSTRUAL PRODUCT!!!"

i've heard that you can buy them at health food type stores, but i haven't checked.
 
Why are women so shy about buying Fem-Hy products? This is something every woman has to go through. Why would it be a big-deal for the postman or house-mates to see you buying/ordering this product.

Trekker, has learned more about Menstural Cycles than he ever wanted to know.
 
Because it's just something you really don't want to share with the world.

I couldn't imagine going up to someone saying "Hi, I'm in excrutiating pain, bloated, over heating and blood just keeps pooling. But it's all thanks to nature saying I'm a woman."

Damn did I hate those stupid movies from grade school. Plus guys seem in general just freaked out about blood.

On another note, thanks again daeana for the jewelry site. I actually got some earrings as a bridesmaid present that are just perfect for my one friends taste.
 
This reminds me of an episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation I watched last night (hey, it's a good show!) where Emma got her first period, and she was, unfortunately, wearing a white skirt. She had to change into this giant pair of gym shorts that looked ridiculous. She was standing in front of the class giving a book report and some boys were laughing at her shorts, and saying things like, "Aww, did you wet your pants?"

She finally turns to them and says, "No, I just got my period for the first time and bled all over my new skirt." The boys' eyes suddenly get all big and you can bet they don't say a word for the rest of class. :lol:

Well, for me, it's because I'm an engineering student (in a program that's 90% male) and I have enough trouble getting people to take me seriously as it is... I don't need to go around broadcasting the fact that I'm a woman more then absolutely necessary.

I think the boobs tip people off to that. ;)

Perhaps I'm more enlightened than most men, but menstural cycles don't bother me any. I've gladly in the past ran out to buy "products" for my girlfriend. Were I at a checkstand and a woman was buying products or a woman customer asked me where they were located I show it to them without a second thought.

Honestly, as someone who works with customers, you just don't think about things when customers buy products, especialy ones dealing with grooming, toiletries, or hygeine.

Women have thier cycles, every person on the planet knows that it's no big deal when you buy product.


Trekker, is it odd I find menstural cycles sexy?

similarly, it's not like we go around sharing our excretion habits in everyday conversation.

*checks store*

dammit!!! :censored: :mad: :lol:
 
Well you had to have something that was black and pink and sparkly!

Though she's the only one getting jewelry. I think I'll make a scrapbook of my matron of honor's son for her, since all her pictures of him are digital now.
