One of my favorite things about SATC... "I couldn't help but wonder..." I'm having some trouble falling asleep and somehow started thinking about this thing Dear Prudence said in her advice column the other day. I read it every so often just b/c I like reading people's issues and what she has...

I was going to post this in Color Forecast Discussion thread and once it turned into a request for help from you wonderful ladies I figured posting here was a better idea. I am so torn on what to get from this collection. I know for sure (as of right now) that I don't want to get any of the...

For the past couple of months, I've been contemplating joining a gym and or/joining a pilates/yoga class. I bought a pilates DVD and I did enjoy it but haven't gotten back to it. I sort of flaked out on it after about a week. I'm not overweight but there are areas I'd like to tone and I'd like...

Hey ladies! I'm looking for some suggestions and would appreciate the help. I've posted before about how stupid my skin has been lately and I guess I'm going to have to just suck it up that more than likely it's a "30 and over hormone related" issue as my dermatologist seems to think. Whatever...

Deep breaths. So...a little over a year ago I broke up with this guy who I had dated for about a year. Long story short (I posted a few times about this back then) things just weren't working out and I started to realize I didn't love him anymore and in the end he started getting so out of...

Happy New Year everyone!! Hope your 2010 exceeds 2009 in all things!! I'm hoping for a better year all around! Anyway, does anyone here use Basis prodcuts? I used the Sensitive Skin bar for YEARS up YEARS from high school up until about a year ago when I started feeling like it wasn't working...

When something happens to us in a relationship, do we really get over it, even with the passage of time? Do we hold onto some things more than others? Or hold onto certain people more than others? I have to ask because of something that happened to me about 2 years ago. While I think I've gotten...

What are your thought on aromatherapy? Do you believe that certain scents do provoke/help different moods or do you think it's all in your head? I've been a part timer at Bath and Body Works for over 5 years now and over the years have LOVED quite a few of the Aromatherapy scents. Naturally...

Sigh. Lately, I feel like I'm making some crappy choices on eye colors. Usually I'm not the type of person that feels like certain features call for certain color schemes when it comes to m/u and I've always been of the opinion that a person can use any color if they find a way to make it work...

I love my cat. I do. He's my baby. But pretty soon, he's going to drive me over the edge. Here's what's going on. He's 12, neutered and declawed front and back. He's a very loving, affectionate cat and I don't know what I'd do without him. If he's not laying on the bed with me while I'm on...

Hey ladies! I was hoping someone had some info for me. I've seen this new Essie nail color called Mint Candy Apple that is a gorgeous cream mint green in a couple of magazines and I've tried Googling it and going to Essie's site and there is no hint of information anywhere. Does anyone know...

I've worked at Bath and Body Works for 5 years now, some part time, some "full" time and will be helping out in the evenings after work for Christmas. I had been anticipating the new Aromatherapy scent coming out b/c BBW has a habit (as we all know) of discontinuing our favorite scents. I...

I've read about this here on Specktra a few times where the tip was to use an NW concealer if you were NC. I'm not sure if the vice versa is true. About a week ago, I went to my local MAC store and got the m/u application with the $50 purchase. I'm an NC30 and I noticed the MA put an NW20...

I have been searching this site over trying to find a gold MSF. I got Shooting Star from a seller here and while I love it, it's more of a bronzey color. I also have So Ceylon which I also love and use alot as blush but I was wanting something that is a little more GOLD than bronze if that makes...

Hello there. Again. I just started getting into Nars recently and would love some recs to get things going. I do already have Orgasm blush which I love and the Underworld duo and I'm eyeing Mediteranee. I'm about NC30ish with yellow undertones and I have dark brown hair and green eyes. Any...

I just turned 30 in April and right now I'm single. I have no kids yet and a pretty awesome job at a school where I get all the same vacations and breaks as the kids. I also get 2 weeks paid vacation on top of that so when someone I know offered me a great deal on a timeshare anywhere I wanted...

I'm asking for yet again some advice. I'm an NC30 with dark brown hair and green eyes and I've been told a few times at the MAC store that I have alot of yellow in my skin. I have eyelids that for some reason are darker than the rest of my skin on my face so sometimes colors like...

About a month ago I made a trip to my mom's endocrinologist b/c I had been SOOO tired and had NO energy to speak of. I also had the usual hypothyroid symptoms of dry skin, hair falling out, issues with my memory, etc. My mom had gone about a year ago for some of those same things and while her...

This past winter I noticed my skin was getting dry and staying dry on my face which was a little odd since for the most part of my life, my skin has been combination. I started using Clinique's Gentle Cleansing Milk (or something like that) and began to notice a huge difference and felt like my...

Yeah, I'm a little frustrated. I could really use some insight on this one. My skin has been giving me such a hard time lately and I know I'm not the only one who has this complaint. In high school I had oily, acne prone skin. Once I started on birth control and then started getting older, all...
