^^ It's like, nearly exactly the same as Absolutely Alice! Is it a bit different in real life?

I recommend getting some tea-tree oil

Definitely. In fact, I have a product that I originally bought in the UK from Blooms pharmacy, which is a tea-tree oil based gel that you dab on to blemishes. It works like a charm <3
I had trouble finding the same product online so when my best friend went to visit her fiance's family in London I asked her to bring back a few packs for me!
 
Has anyone bought shoes from Love My Shoes before?

I'm thinking of buying these ones :)

^Nice Spork!!

queenbee- I'm always out to get the smoothest shave/skin possible-
A good long soak beforehand is best- I use 'Inttimo's Kitty Kreme and Total Body Shave' which is a tie between a shaving cream/oil/gel. It has aloe vera and vit e and all kinds of goodies in it which helps prevent razor burn and moisturizes skin as well.
Exfoliating is important too.
You should exfoliate before you shave so when you are shaving the dead skin has already been removed and you aren't shaving off dead skin- you just go right to shaving the hair :) I also will sometimes lightly scrub my skin after shaving (honestly I use a dish sponge, like with the green scrubby side- works awesome;))
After shaving I use Almond oil or Baby oil afterwards mixed with your lotion which helps trap in moisture .
Oh and Neutrogena (sp?) makes bikini razors- tiny little things to get into tiny little spaces if needed. I like them alot, myself.

I've used Tend Skin but I prefer a after shave spray by "Coochy" (ha ha yes I know)- It doesn't sting as much as Tend Skin did for me and its spray-able and sensitive skin safe so you can get it everywhere- My only complaint is that it smells like alcohol so make sure you lotion up afterwards :)
 
^^ Those shoes look like something my mum would wear. And please do not be put off by that comment in the slightest, my mother is one of the most stylish people I know!!
In fact, she has some shoes like that already, but in a light moss green.

This is an excellent tip, thanks hun!! I always shave in the shower without exfoliating so I would be a prime candidate for just shaving off dead skin at the start...I'm going to exfoliate from now on :)
 
I wax and apply witch hazel for down there care. I shower with a pouf thing to exfoliate first. When waxing isn't in the budget, I trim. I'm too prone to ingrowns to shave, sadly.

Ladies, how do you beat the summertime heat? Since I don't have it in the budget to visit my Australian friends, I'm stuck in the West. I've gotten heatstroke twice, we had record-breaking heat, and no one has a/c here. I took an icebath yesterday. I'm ready to move to Antarctica. Any tips before I'm cooked to death?
 
In summer I take cold showers (sometimes 3 per day, don't worry everyone they're just quick showers so I'm not wasting water!) and drink LOTS of icey water. I freeze bottles of water to take out with me during the day so they slowly melt but the water is super cold to drink.

They're my 2 tips other than everything you've probably already tried!
 
Cold wet towels on the back of your neck, groin area and under the armpits. It's the quickest way to cool someone who is suffering heat exhaustion or heat stroke (if you haven't got/aren't near a cool bath). :)
 
This sounds stupid, but get one of those little spray bottles with a fan on it. I go to an outdoor music festival every year over Memorial Day weekend, and I always bring mine, because it's always really hot. This year was an unbelievable scorcher, and my little sprayer was a lifesaver. I sprayed myself in the face like a zillion times... :)
 
Wait...you can't even get a window unit air conditioner? No apartments here in nyc seem to have central air...but when I moved here it was like 150F here and we just grabbed a $100 window unit since it's much hotter in our apartment usually than outside.

Go to public places with air conditioning and get some air circulating in your home. Get a bucket of water or run cold water in your bathtub and soak your feet.

Personally, I take cold showers.
 
Draw the blinds and drapes closed over your windows, and keep the lights off. Anything you can do to prevent the sunlight from getting inside in the first place will help bring the temperature down.
 
I was well overdue getting some new nail polish, so last night I bought these babies:

Just for a bit of fun =D

Yay, can't wait til they arrive!!
 
I heard Aqua was in for summer and it looks SO lovely.
But with my paint stripping and gardening I have kinda given up on my nails...
 
Yeah the aqua is my favourite of the ones I bought :)
I only got the Cashmere Creme one because it was a "buy 2 get 3rd free" offer and I've been wanting just a soft neutral colour like that for ages.

Have you tried using a top coat? I use this:

And it is AWESOME!

It might still be a lost-cause though with both gardening and paintstripping!
 
n3o, i should really hook you up. ff just got all the machines to do her own nails (previously she spent just as much on her nails as i had budgeted for shoes!). she's got the dentists drill thingo and bits and stuffs as well as the deskfans and bluelight machine and shit.
