Umm...did anyone else look around that site? They also sell "Luna Panties" with built in panty liners. You wear them on "light flow days" then just throw 'em in the washer. Does anyone else feel like they need to take a bath after looking at that site??

here goes...this time with my period I'm like on extra heavy flow, not horrible cramps but cramps but massive mood swings and no clotting. But normal flow heavy clotting, I get cramps that can't be described they are so awful. Does anyone else have this same issue?
Maybe you should go to the doctor. Going on the pill will regulate your cycle and stuff, maybe you should look into that. Just be careful, cause your loosing a lot of blood and iron, and eat lots of iron packed foods.

Yeah, they had me at 'reusable.' And how do you get them in and out???
That is my Aunt Pat's favorite book!
Yeah, but how much soap and water would you use to clean them? Water is a valuable resource as well. And I don't see how you could only own 2 of them - what of you need to change before the first one is dry?
Ok, here's the problem with hankies: You blow your nose, then you have a hanky full of germs. then you put the germy hanky in your pocket, so now you have a pocket full of germs. So unless you are going to use a separate hanky every time you wipe your nose, you're going to put the germy hanky back up to your nose, thereby reinfecting yourself. And again, you have to wash them in hot (fuel usage) water (water usage) and soap. So I say, use a tissue and throw the germs away. It's just more sanitary.
Please tell me you don't really use your sleeve.

You make good points, and I did think of the using the laundry energy. But you can use cold water (which is better for the environment) and it's always good to do full loads. Plus, I make my parents buy GREEN products, i.e. biodegradable/non-toxic soap, cleaners, laundry detergents, etc.
I agree, don't think I could actually do it and get one of those reusable pad, I just think it's a good idea. As long as we all do what we can to help stop global climate change
! I don't think a hankie is a bad idea. I wouldn't blow my nose in it, but it would be useful when my nose is runny. And you have to think, you put your undergarments in the wash with your cloths (or at least we do) so why not a hanky? They all end up clean in the end.

I used to be the same. I'd have massive cramps and heavy flow for 3-4 days, and my period would last 7-8 days. The real only solution is to go on BC (even just a really low dose pill). That totally changed my life. I don't worry about cramps and heavy flow. I still have a few cramps, but at least they are bearable, and they don't force me to lay on the floor all day. Also, the only thing that works for cramps for me is Naproxen.
Talking about aunt flow, I think she's arriving shortly in my case. I had a few cramps, and I took some Naproxens, so I feel better now.

If I don't have anything and I'm really really desperate, I occasionally (if it's a raggedy sweater) use my sleeve.
I did it more when I was a kid.I use up a lot of tissues sometimes. I used to get colds all the time, and I had to get my tonsils out cause I couldn't breath cause my nose was always clogged.
You make a good point, but I don't think a hankie is such a bad idea. Maybe I'll get one and not use it, but I guess it's worth a try, for our planet! And like CHBO said, we do put our undergarments in the wash, so...
But I don't think I'd use it if I had a cold, cause that would just spread germs like you said. But my nose is always runny in the cold weather, so I think in that respect it'd be useful.
I've always questioned my doctors about my period but they say the same, I'm fine, everyone is different so don't worry about it. I just have issues with the clotting now of days.
okay panties with a built in liner?? one liner you wear all day? no thanks. it may not be green but I like changing those types of things and feeling clean. sorry mother earth.

Amen Sharpie! I either use hot or warm for ALL of our stuff just for that reason. And if it may shrink I just put it up to air dry, which doesnt happen often.

Bailey08-sorry to jump in, but here's a cheaper version you may like
I have dark circles too, and after trying numerous concealer formulas, this is by far the BEST. It's a light weight formula, so it doesn't sink into the creases during the day. It's usually $12-15. But if you live near a Kmart, they tend to have a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE on Loreal products. Hope this helps!

So I bought this last week, and so far, I really like it! I got the foundation, as well. Thanks.
Now I just have to freeze some teaspoons.
Just don't lick them, or your tongue will stick to them - then where will you be?
I got a great deal on bras at mervyns this morning. I feel extra girlie with my new bras now

BOGO L'Oreal at Walgreens this week! I bought the concealer and foundation. I am trying it right now. Not sure that I like it yet - tomorrow I am going to put it on half of my face, then put the free stuff we got on the other half and compare. I kinda like the free stuff, but I need to compare both in the scary light of day.
edit: One thing I did NOT like about the L'Oreal foundation was the brush - it shed so much hair it looked like my cat walked all over me.
I tried one of those mouse eye shadows and I didn't like it too much. It kinda caked in the corners.
A reallly good eye liner is Prestige. It's only 4 bucks and it's a soft khol so it goes on easily and smoothly. My fav out of all the brands drug store and department store counter.
My feet are looking tore up. I have been neglecting them. I must soak, pumice and lotion them today

Have fun with the makeup everyone!
About the brush, to be honest the first day I got it, I tested in on the back of my hand and thought it felt too harsh. As a matter of fact, I had first tried the Neutrogena mineral makeup. It was too shiny for my liking, plus you had to use the brush as it was attached to the powder. Yuck! That brush was also hard. It actually irritated my face and made it red. So I guess from that incident, I learned to use my own brush. Sorry I didn't mention it the first time.
Now, here's my dilemma. I have a slightly olive complexion, so my lipstick colors are usually on the dark side. I'd really like to try a pinkish color, just for a change. Especially since its the winter and I usually go a little heavier on the eyes. But, I don't really want a gloss (I already have one). I'd like a somewhat matte look. Any ideas???? (Sorry to sound picky, but preferably cheap, I've got Christmas bills to pay!)

Okay, I'm trying to catch up here.
I don't wear much make up and can't really chime in there. Sometimes mascara when I look a little drawn in the mornings. But I'm the tomboy, Twinn is the princess.
Thank you muchly. It is definitely not a cyst per the tests, she sees the surgeon tomorrow for the consultation and to schedule the biopsy. Based on the size, it is a stage 5. She's freaking she didn't find it earlier - 1 inch, by half an inch, an inch deep and very sore. But if it had been sore and there all along, she would have noticed it and I finally got her to agree with that - it has to be fast growing. She can't live with that kind of guilt the rest of her life if something is wrong - thinking she didn't find it herself earlier than she did and it's that big. I'll keep you posted and thanks for thinking of us. I'm still trying to get Santa to speed things up around here!
I use their Sleek & Shine Weightless Anti Frizz Serum that you leave in as a conditioner for my "silver" hair that is so curly. It does the same thing, leaves my hair so soft.
That is just so not right.......but now I'm curious.
You had me at "or maybe not".

Office Twinn, I'll be saying alittle prayer for you all tonight.
I exchanged my bra and they didn't have my style in my size so I got something close and oh boy, do my boob like like torpedos! Amazingly enough its a wire free bra from playtex no less. Great support. I got more black eye shadow. I use it to line my upper lids with a pencil.

I was a bad, bad, bad, bad girl today. But it's shopping days like today I'm so glad I'm single and my money is my business and no one elses. Sorry, but I'd just be so embarassed to have to tell anyone what I spent. I hadn't bought myself new clothes for a long time, so I used some gift cards I got for my birthday and did a LOT of damage to a credit card I had just paid off to get some new clothes. Oh well. I'll look a lot better when I balance my checkbook.
So this probably should go in the purchases thread, but I think you girls will understand!
From Urban Outfitters:
five new tops and a hat (including this sweater in plum, which I think is my favorite thing I bought)
From Old Navy:
two sweaters (one cashmere )
From the Gap:
a scarf, a pair of jeans, a cardigan, and this dress for Christmas
and from Sephora:
a new brush set, an eyeshadow set in plums (yay!), eyeliner, mascara, and foundation primer
So tomorrow I'm already planning on doing more damage, because I need more jeans, and of course I need new shoes to go with the dress.

!Thanks CHBO. It's not the stuff that makes me happy though.
I had gotten to the point where I was just wearing jeans and sweatshirts, and not even giving me the chance to feel good about myself. I mean, it'll just be nice to have some after work clothes that aren't pajamas. [/pam]

I really need to follow that quote more often
OfficeTwinn, I'm so sorry about your sister! My thoughts are with you and your family!
Wow! Those are nice! I love the dress! I was at Gap yesturday (and saw the poster of JK! ) and I saw that they had so many dresses! I think I'll wait till the sales, cause I got a dress there a while ago on sale, for like $20 or $30 and now it's $13!
Oh, and show us the shoes when you find a pair!

I was a bad, bad, bad, bad girl today. But it's shopping days like today I'm so glad I'm single and my money is my business and no one elses. Sorry, but I'd just be so embarassed to have to tell anyone what I spent. I hadn't bought myself new clothes for a long time, so I used some gift cards I got for my birthday and did a LOT of damage to a credit card I had just paid off to get some new clothes. Oh well. I'll look a lot better when I balance my checkbook.
So this probably should go in the purchases thread, but I think you girls will understand!
From Urban Outfitters:
five new tops and a hat (including this sweater in plum, which I think is my favorite thing I bought)
From Old Navy:
two sweaters (one cashmere )
From the Gap:
a scarf, a pair of jeans, a cardigan, and this dress for Christmas
and from Sephora:
a new brush set, an eyeshadow set in plums (yay!), eyeliner, mascara, and foundation primer
So tomorrow I'm already planning on doing more damage, because I need more jeans, and of course I need new shoes to go with the dress.

Is it bad that I've actually started wearing pj pants/leggings under my jeans, so that when I get home from work I just take my jeans off and I'm in PJ mode..?

I got a travel-size Smashbox Photo Finish Foundaton Primer. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but it felt so nice in the store. My skin can get so oily over the course of a day, I'm hoping this will help.
Thanks CHBO. It's not the stuff that makes me happy though. I had gotten to the point where I was just wearing jeans and sweatshirts, and not even giving me the chance to feel good about myself. I mean, it'll just be nice to have some after work clothes that aren't pajamas. [/pam]

I look frumpy a lot, but I never really feel like wearing something different 1) because I have really nothing different 2) because I don't like/am bad at spending money on things 3) cause I don't want to get noticed or anything. It's nice to get cloths that make you feel good though

No, that's not bad, as long as they are under some jeans or trousers! Sometimes I go out and I keep my night shirt on--which is either a large frumpy T-shirt or this grey half sleeve long john-ish shirt I got from GAP, kinda looks like the one that the guy in my avatar is wearing, which I
(the shirt and the guy 
!)! And when we (dad, sister, dog and me) travel to Newfoundland (or anywhere far) I wear these pj pants I got at Old Navy years ago on Halloween--they have little black cats on 'em--and that includes when I get out of the car. But hey, we are travelers and I don't mind looking foolish then, actually got a few comments this summer
!
Lucky you, Queen! I wish I could do that...I usually find something really cute but never get it. It seems like I never wear anything nice...just jeans that don't fit me, a dark colored t shirt, and plain shoes. I'm boring.
Oh i found a really nice wool pea coat in Walmart! of all places and loved it but even with the largest size the sleeves were too short! 
That should have been my warning about how the day was to evolve

My new wool coat my uncle got me already has a broken zipper.
We're taking it back this weekend and I might get an entirely new coat. There was one I wanted but he kept telling me it was too small...it's not. They just keep telling me I won't have much room under it for sweaters. I don't wear sweaters though, so this is not an issue.
I looked at the link QOE, it looks like really nice stuff. I need to try something. The liquid can still leave my face real oily and then my makeup wears off really fast.

!That's an issue I have too CHBO. I hate feeling like I'm wearing something that makes me stand out or too noticeable. It's hard to find clothes that are nice and cute, but still modest.

Ugh, me too. I've never met a foundation that my oily skin can't destroy in just a few hours.
I tried it out today and it went on nicely, but my face still seemed shiny in an hour. I didn't really notice a difference with my pores either. I'm not giving up on it yet, though.
The Smashbox stuff is awesome, Liz. It goes on really nicely, kind of powdery/silky at the same time? I used to have a travel sized thing of it and I had a few people tell me how nice my skin looked after I used it. They sell a smaller size in the store, you could try that first and then buy the whole thing if you like it.
EDIT- It was very painful, Queen. I ended up having to leave after about 5 minutes, it was too horrible.

If I can get a small verison I will try it out, I don't like the sephora here, cause a ex friends works there and she's a std poster girl, so I don't trust anything she's touched to go on my face

Love it. So I dressed very sloppily today because of finals. Does anyone else do this? Well, probably 80% of the school was in sweatpants haha. Its sooo nice though. Normally, I cant wear sweatpants to school because I'm the type of person where if I dont feel like I look good, I dont feel good at all. But finals week I make an exception. And when I'm sick. Maybe I'll look cute tomorrow haha.

I wish I was wearing sweatpants right now.
I feel really really fat and my clothes aren't fitting at all. I miss my cozy, cuddly sweatpants with the forgiving waistband and soft, cuddly lining...

I have a similar problem. I'm able to fit into a medium sized coat, although I have to buy coats in size large because I can never seem to button the button over my boobs, which are a C cup. It's just too tight around the area
. The only exceptions are when it comes to coats & jackets that zip up but it can be snug in the chest area at times. Oh, to have a small B cup. *sigh*
Target had these cute quilted long trench style coats the shoulders fit great the arms were too big and long. I'm never going to find a coat at this rate.
Okay so I've been using these neostrata facial wipes for acne prone skin for almost a week. They are AMAZING!! They do tingle when you wipe your face off with them, a slight warm tingle, but it doesn't burn. My skin hasn't gotten dried out from them and no reactions to them. My pores are smaller and the acne I do have it's shrunk and dried out and the redness has improved greatly. $12.96 and it's been the best product i've tried to help with oily/acne prone skin

Awesome Liz! I use proactiv, but I might check that out too, thanks.
O you poor poor thing.
OH, have you looked at Penney's? They have some super cute peacoats there. That's actually where I got mine and I
it a bunch.
