    Spa recommendations

    I'm kind of addicted to going to a local salon to get massages and facials and body treatments ever since my husband got me a half day package last year for my birthday.

    Yes!

    So I live in Chicago, where we have excellent counters and free-standing MAC stores. But NO pro stores! I finally convinced the husband that we *need* to go to Vegas again and last night we booked the trip for the middle of November. Sure, I have a friend to see there, and maybe some...

    Grassroots?

    I went to Kohls today, looking for the Flirt brushes, and discovered this line of skin and haircare called Grassroots (so-named, I guess, because it's natural and not tested on animals). Anybody try it? I was almost out of moisturizer so I got the oil-controlling kind. They had quite a few...

    Wedding apparel?

    What does one wear to a wedding that starts at noon? Is black a no-no? I had been planning to wear a black, slightly below the knee dress with a lime green, 3/4 sleeve cardigan over it but now I'm starting to think it might not be appropriate. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    My collection with inventory and pictures (as of 7.28.05)

    Still kind of small but I'm working on it - and this isn't including the stuff from D'Bohemia - haven't had time to lay everything out again. Need to look into some alternate form of storage - my wee plastic bin is running out of space!

    I finally broke down and got some highlights this weekend and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a good shampoo that will help keep the colors bright and hair nice and soft and maybe also has sublock built in. I bought Paul Mitchell Color Care shampoo and conditioner and it...
