^ o , i just saw that while tumblr surfing and thought it looked awesome so posted here.

as a dude, i wish it were socially acceptable to paint my nails. i use to use my sisters nail polish as a child, good times.

best of luck on your estore en devour =)
 
I hope I will raise my daughter well enough so that she doesnt curse the world via nail polish. Thats scary.
 
Hey ladies!

I come in need of assistance with finding a bra... I've tried a ton of them and nothing is comfortable. I have stomach/upper GI issues and ANY pressure or anything touching the top of my stomach (where a bra usually rests) absolutely kills and I can't stand to wear it. Any kind of tight clothing, especially around the chest or waist, makes my digestive pain even worse. I have been either unhooking it in the back (really inconvenient when at work) or wearing my super loose sports bra (which looks pretty dumb in my opinion, especially under dressy shirts, and I have to keep adjusting it because its so loose). Help! I just want a comfortable bra that stays in place and doesn't put ANY pressure on my stomach!

I have envisioned something that looks kind of like this, but can't find it anywhere:

I need your shopping powers ladies! Help me! :(
 
I feel like I've seen swimwear that looks similar to that, but no bras.

If you're not in need of a lot of support, I really like bralettes. I'd post a link, but I always seem to get in trouble for doing that.

Also, there is a certain high-end department store that is well-known for bra fittings. They may be able to steer you in the right direction.

I'm sorry to hear that, Euphoria. Boob jail is already pretty awful.
 
Thanks for the reply poopie! I was thinking swimwear too... maybe I'll just find some bikini tops or something lol. Strongly considering designing a bra like this, selling it on kickstarter, and profiting! haha! I dont know. It would be really nice to have a comfortable bra that puts no pressure on the esophagus/stomach. Other people HAVE to want that! Shit even people who dont have stomach problems would probably like that!

Boob jail def sucks, we can agree on that one for sure! I can't really get away with going braless at work or in public in general though, I'm a C cup and you can tell if I'm not wearing one. Blahh.
 
I was looking for the OOTD thread even though my post isn't an outfit...but this seems like an appropriate place to post :)

Hair of the day...lol...I did a ton of hair wraps for friends going to BM and of course I did some for myself. I'm really liking it...especially with the feather earring addition (idgafos if it's a trendy thing that's out of style now...it just pleases me).

Anyone else want to share pics of their hairstyles? Dreads? Mermaid hair?? Idk I'm bored and hi ladies <3

^pretty!

i just had my hair dyed and i have a question about tipping etiquette. the place i want is a walk in shop, most of the customers were people getting a quick trim. they are a walk in place that doesn't take appointments, even for things like coloring or highlights and i lucked out with a stylist who was excited to do my hair. 4.5 hours later, i walked out with an awesome cut and dye job that i easily would have paid double for. the stylist ended up staying 2 hours later than she was scheduled.

i wondered how BL ladies decide on what tip to leave for salon services? do you base it on a percentage of the total services? or do you factor in the amount of time the stylist spent on you as well as a percent? or some other way of figuring out tip?

i'm also curious what people pay for their hair cuts, color or highlights? i had some of my hair highlighted and the rest dyed a slightly darker shade. then the parts that were highlighted were then dyed blue, magenta and peacock green. i don't know what that is called in salon terms.

I hope you tipped 20% at minimum for her time and the result you would have easily paid double for

I rarely leave unhappy and tip 20% on the total service. If I am unhappy then the situation is rectified that day. Cannot recall the last time that happened.
Hair cut $40 Color $80 highlights another $40. This increases with hair length. My girlfriend also cuts me a deal.


Speaking of hair…I highly recommend Perfect Hair Day 5 in 1 styling treatment by Living Proof.
 
^i tipped almost 50%. the services came to $175 and i left a $75 tip. my hair is normally dark brown and well past my shoulders and the last time i had it dyed random colors, i think the services costed around $250 before tip. the stylist yesterday also spent almost the whole time working either applying highlights, applying regular color, coloring the highlighted pieces or actually cutting my hair.

she also tracked me down a phone charger when my battery started running low :)
 
Im a guy who sometimes paints my nails. Am I allowed to post a pic here or is this a girls only thread??
 
omgoodness. i love opi nail polish and they have released an mlb range of gorgeous colors (that are also fitting to my team, the red sox) :D im so excited and must order the set immediately :D

ps. i generally store my polishes in a dark room temp cabinet and they keep fine, although when going away recently stored them in the refrigerator and this happened? does anyone know why? or can suggest better storage tips please? :D

I'm in the UK, Scotland.

This last year I've been getting a full head of highlights and silver tone to move over to being a blended "natural" grey (I'm 50 next April and have lots of white streaks coming though). This costs me £80 a time. I've just done my 5th session before xmas and it's working out great - the tones and condition are amazing. I tip £30 a time on that because my hairdresser has been patient and quite strict with me about keeping my hair in good condition and uses Olaplex, gives me great advice on maintenance and product use. She's not keen to rush the process and it shows in the condition of my hair.

I tip on what I think the stylist's services are worth. To me she's worth £110. At least...

I never go to a random salon - for a walk in and your happy with the job maybe 20% would be ok. But how do you know if you'll be happy with it on day 2+?
