| What my husband thrifted today |
| We have a wedding to go to at the end of the month and my husband has
no dressy clothes so today we visited an SPCA thrift store near our
place (he refuses to buy new clothes, especially when it's something
that he'll wear maybe once every couple of ye |

she's been close friends with since elementary school (she's 23)! It was a

| fashionable shoes for fallen arches |
| I've developed a painful condition called plantar facilitis-- basically fallen
arches. The Easy Spirit shoes aren't helping very much. What brands do people
wear if they have this condition? I'm looking for work and play shoes---don't
wear heels, so |
| Eyebrow trimming |
| Another thing I'd like advice on. My eyebrows aren't all that bad, but
I'd like to make them more defined and polished looking. There's
nothing really to wax (I think) because it's not an issue of stray
hairs or hairs growing underneath the natural bro |
| Lipstick suggestions? |
| My natural lipcolor is on the dark side & mauvey. I would love to wear
pink lipstick sometimes, but every time I buy pink, my natural color
peaks through and it looks funny. Any suggestions?

| Custom-fit jeans? |
| The Limited thread got me thinking and I am wondering if anyone here
has tried out some of the manufacturers who offer custom-fit,
made-to-order jeans, such as Lands' End? I believe Levi's was also
doing this at one point but not sure if they still do. |
| planet lulu in OC |
| wow.! WOW I haven't seen this many people at a planet lulu since it
opened in OC
It was PACKED..... around 2 corners and then some. HUGE space. absolutely
huge. If you didn't like the old space at the Doubletree due to 1) small
room 2) dim lighting 3) |

| OT: Distance Long Beach - Monterey? |
| Hi everyone!
As some of you know, I'm going to Long Beach in June, and am working on an
itinerary. We just got an exciting invitation to visit a cat breeder in
Monterey - but I'm a little concerned that it's too far. Just how long a drive
is it? |
| NE Lilly lovers, start your engines... |

Prussia is marked for june 9, 10 & 11th. I missed last year's event, I WON'T
miss it this year.
Still coveting anything in last year's hibiscus print,

| What I bought today |
| Banana Republic:
New green silk dress with criss-cross neckline. I've been dying for it
since it was in Lucky last month; it's going to get a lot of wedding use if
only I can find some metallic gold strappy sandals and massive gold
chandelier earring |

bubbles and leaves a scent for the day. I've tried Bath and Body Works,
Philosophy, L'Occitane, and Crabtree and Evelyn. The Philosophy products

perfect. surely someone here has noticed a lipstick that exactly
matches dandelion?

| Target carrying sz 15 in Jr |
|
I saw something the other night at Target - I was looking thru the jean section
and they had a lot of sz 15. I never remember seeing a lot of sz 15 in the Jr
dept - I guess it is a sz 15/16. Usually it would seem Jr sizes only went up
to sz 13s.

spot. |

| "Columbo" on Actor's Studio |
| I'm sure this was a rerun, but I'd never seen it before. Lipton

had breathing problems.
Lipton asked a lot of Columbo questions, which was fun, and then asked a
quick batch of du |

| Review of L'Oreal Shine Delice and Maybelline Wet Shine |
| I came across this today and thought it might be of interest to AF.
It's from Street Cents, which is a Canadian TV program (on CBC). This
review was in their web archives so it's a bit old but I found it
interesting nonetheless.
