Just moved to DC (Georgetown) and need lots of recs
I went to get my brows waxed today at a local salon. I've always had good luck w/ Aveda. I totally trusted the woman at Akimbo in Sacramento, but this was not good. It isn't hideous, but the brows are too thin, and she didn't angle the top. I kno

Where'd it go?????
This is something which has vexed me mightily since forever. I'll go to a store, see something that I like. But I am already overloaded with stuff form that day's shopping, or what they have is not my size and/or not the right color or something (you s

Colorstay Nail Polish rave
Just bought this recently, and put it on last Thursday. It's still on, and the *only* place where it shows any wear is where I missed with the "sealer" coat. Remarkable. Not a single chip where I put the sealer on correctly -- just a little peeling
