    My Biannual Clothing Crisis Shout-Out

    I would make friends with a local tailor rather than rely upon a store for any alterations besides a simple hem. A local tailor is far less expensive than store alterations when you need clothing taken in.

    chalean xtreme

    I wonder if CLX would be difficult for someone recovering from a knee injury? Are there tons of squats, lunges, and plyos?

    Latisse--not a good thing

    I second the L'Oreal Lash Extend. I bought it on Laura's recommendation last week and it really is great. I love that it works, doesn't flake or run--at all--and is still very easily removed. I always wipe the wand with a tissue before I apply mascara because otherwise it clumps.

    For those who count calories..How Many Do You Eat?

    My Fitness Pal has me at 1680/day if I don't work out and on the losing 1/2 lb per week. When I do a Cathe w/o I can typically eat about 2300. I think that magazines stating that women should eat 1500-1800 per day are assuming that women are starting out either tiny or inactive. I think...

    here we go again!

    My husband and his brother are less than 2 years apart and my MIL said that it really wasn't that difficult to take care of 2 really close in age. I also know a woman who had triplets when her oldest was only 16 months old. She said that she just got the kids into a "system" where when one...

    Bad kissers

    If he didn't improve--I wouldn't marry him. My husband was kind of a weird kisser at first, but he rapidly improved. I can't get enough of his kisses. He kisses like he means it, but that doesn't mean that he's checking my tonsils, thankfully.

    We have a Garmin Nuvi--one of the more basic versions, and it's great.

    Latisse--not a good thing

    This is the perfect reason to become familiar with applying fake eyelashes for special occasions. They are pretty awesome, but definitely too much of a hassle for every day.

    BMI Question

    For those who say that they are overweight, when you say that you are X pounds overweight, do you say that you are that many lbs over your goal weight, or your max BMI for your height? I don't put too much stock in BMI, because I think that a lot of athletes are over their BMI and can have...

    son's wedding - what gift to give

    Traditionally, the groom's parents pay for the rehearsal dinner, reception bar bill, and often the flowers. Things are changing so much, now. My husband and I were 30 when we got married and we had a nice wedding with 15 people attending total. The entire expense of the wedding was about...

    Latisse--not a good thing

    Latisse is basically the drug used in eyedrops for glaucoma patients. If someone has glaucoma and then uses latisse as well, they will get way too much of their prescription.

    Slow Death by Rubber Duck - interesting book

    Nobody in my family needs to dress formally enough to have dressy "whites". My husband wears a military uniform and his dress uniform is blue. I just keep my light colored clothing separate from dark clothing in the wash. Perhaps this is going to make me sound filthy, but I just clean most...

    Diggin' these funky shoes

    Well, I tried on my friend's shoes and they were comfy to stand in, but I have a difficult time walking in anything with a platform, especially with an open heel. I know that for "normal" people they are probably fine to walk in, but I have issues and am rather abnormal.

    Diggin' these funky shoes

    Those look so cute! A fellow stylist wears hers to work all the time, and I wish that I could wear them, but I'm so stinking clumsy that I get hurt wearing shoes like that.

    I found the love of Fage Greek Yogurt!!

    I get the Trader Joe's Greek yogurt. I'm a Greek food enthusiast, from Detroit, which has so many wonderful Greek restaurants, which Philly lacks. I use it to marinate chicken, lamb, as a dip for healthy "hot wings", a base for a healthier cheesecake, I go through a large container each week.

    Ants!!!!

    I had fire ants when we lived in AZ! Terrible! I was attacked by them when cleaning and I basically ran screaming down the hallway, ripping off my clothes and jumped into the shower. Finally, I put on one of my husband's mechanic jumpsuits and gloves and shop-vacuumed the house, sucking up...
