How vain are you?

OLALLIEBERRY JAM AT LINNS IN CAMBRIA.... ohmygosh... YUM!!!

The Olallieberry (pronounced oh-la-leh) is the primary fruit grown at the Linns' family farm. The berry was first developed in 1949 at Oregon State University by the U.S. Department of Agriculture by crossing a Loganberry with a Youngberry. The result was called Olallie, a Native American word meaning "berry". The Olallieberry has the physical characteristics of the classic blackberry, but it is genetically about two-thirds blackberry and one-third red raspberry.

I see I'm not the only one who never seems to sleep!  Supposed to be at work in 6 hours. Thinking chance of that happening on time is slim.  Anyone know a good self tanner?  Currently using Fake Bake. I love that it doesn't streak and has a natural color but it doesn't last very long. Less than a week. I never seem time find the time to reapply like I should.  Any good ones?

I usually use Neutrogena with a microfine spray that doesn't need to be rubbed in. Plus, I can get the backs of my legs pretty easily.

But Ariom is right - it always sheds off after a while no matter how much exfoliating and moisturizing I do!

I was thinking of starting to do "dry brushing" on my skin every day ... supposed to have lots of health benefits. Anyone do this?

I love Bittmann, and what a great name for a food guy.

How do i find an Avon lady in my neighborhood?? my fingernails are trashed, even this far out, and i have been taking biotin daily since treatment! I have used the nuetrogena tanner in the micromist, too, it is least objectionable as far as not too orangey, and also does not smell as bad as some others, but i think i will try some of the others mentioned above. it is like my legs are so white, they deflect the sun's rays! Arms, no problem, they have been exposed to the sun so much, they brown at the sliightest hint of sun. Manfriend tells me i look like napolean ice cream. Well, he used to tell me that!

Thanks, Melissa! Who knew! What happened to all those women? ..... I remember the woman in my 'hood  when i was a kid, I was a wild child and tomboy, but my sister had so many of those little lipsticks... i am getting out my credit card now! i do leave the pedicures to the professionals, there are a lovely bunch of ladies near me, who also do the threading of my brows, and i am overdue. Port flush for me tomorrow, and i was wondering when did you guys have them out? They told me a month ago, that i could, but....it really doesnt bother me, though summer is coming. Manfriend, we have lived together 15 years, and i are getting ready to go to ventura to his sister's beach house for five days. we want to drive further up the coast from there, and check out Cambria and environs. We love our little house in silverlake, but are looking to get out of the city, and have more land...but near enough to get to santa barbara, or la. Fun! between jobs for him, and i havent even begun looking since tx. 

I still want Milkmaid's Pixie Pink in the white enamel with pink flowers case

AND
Faberge Stained Glass - looked clear in it's long, long case, and stained your lips...

WANT THEM BOTH.

Also Elizabeth Arden Bigarade Cologne, smelled like oranges & lemons

kathec if you prefer the personal touch of an "Avon lady", you can use the website to locate one near you. I usually just order online for mail delivery but you can order online for the lady to bring it to you too. Either way, I like to choose a rep because even when you order online they get a small sales percentage. I figure if I am ordering anyway that it is nice to let someone else benefit from it. I love avon lipgloss. 

thanks for that info, Pie. I need all the help I can get. i had extra time on my hands today, and in the right light (dim), I look ok. Otherwise, I look like I'm in drag. a lighter hand for sure, is necessary for me, but it was fun...I also collect those little glass vials, when you can get them, at the perfume counters. And right before the holidays, I love that Sephora has those little sampler sets, with a coupon for a regular size bottle for free, I think, of your favorite of the sample. 

Once, I worked at a womens homeless shelter, and people would give donations and we were not allowed to give the women perfume donations for some reason, so we would get to take them home with us. One was something like 273? Anyone heard of or like that one? my love found it irresistable!

Selena, I wish I could come sit by you!

maybe it was 247? ill google see what pops up

For those of you who love perfume & samples, this place can get you in a lot of trouble. It is fun & fascinating.

I used to love 4711 too. My Mother had a huge bottle of it on her dresser. It is still available here in Aus. It's super cheap too, 800ml or about 27 oz, is about $38.00

I like to put 4711 in a big trigger spray bottle in the fridge during the summer. It reminds me a lot of Jean Nate too.

Momine, I think it is still available, but it has been reformulated. One of it's predominant basenotes was oakmoss & that is one of the ingredients that has been restricted/replaced.

I mispoke about the EU. It is really the IFRA that has wreaked havoc on perfume ingredients & formulations.
