| shaving cream recipe |
| Mix equal parts super softening shampoo and Aveno bath oil with
colloidal oatmeal. For the shampoo I use Local Motions Lavish

| hair dryer holder |
| Instead of buying one of those hair dryer holders I am using my
Rowenta clothing steamer rack and a scarf to tie my new bio ionic hair
dryer to it. Works great! |

| Which shall I read first, my new 832-page Vogue Fall Fashion
Spectacular or my new 513-page InStyle Fall Fashion Spectacular with

| Detergent/soap for hand-washing while traveling? |
| We're not going to be near a washing machine for a few weeks

| Clothes for small (not "petite") women? |
| Does anyone have a suggestion for stores/designers to check for small
sizes? I'm not short — 5'6" — but I am small-boned, with very narrow
shoulders, almost no chest, etc. Regular women's sizes just hang off
me, even some of the "extra-smalls" (wh |
| Using pins w/o piercing fabric |
| From another post I made:
I'm definitely planning to take advantage of my many pins--costume and "real
thing"--to adorn my outerwear. Thanks to some clever a.f.ers, I scored a
bunch of magnapins. They are a brilliant invention that lets you use pins
