Why don't you mix regular ornaments/lights with the samples you get from the drug companies and pix from their brochures + pix of the staff. Even some plastic packaging? And cute pix of babies! ... View related article. |

| RE: Hair Color for Sensitive Skin |
Although I have bought henna, I have never used it, because my other options work so well. I also have chemical sensitivities & I have used strong coffee for my greying temples (& you could use a warm coffee rinse). I have also read about using sage tea to color brunette hair. I have light brown/blonde hair and use colored shampoo - blonde + 1/2 red for me (plus red/blonde conditioner). There are also brunette shampoos out there (even John Frieda samples)- so you might try that to see what results that brings- (You have to sit with it under a shower cap for 10-15 mins. to set it.)
There are also Roux rinses/mousse at the beauty supply store, but they can run (I sweat a lot at my scalp...). All of these options will wash out after a few shampoos, which makes it easy to experiment. ... View related article. |

You could also use shoe polish the same color as the leather (the brand Meltonian, available in shoe repair stores has lots of colors - or even use cream makeup the same color) to blend in larger areas. ... View related article. |

| RE: Recommendations for Mattresses |
|
We looked at the mattress in the hotel when we were impressed by it - it was top of the line & seemed to have an extra layer of something like memory foam on top , plus another quilted layer. Since memory foam toppers are now available, I would recommend getting one & then putting something like a mattress pad on top (otherwise the plastic foam will cause you to sweat). Also turn your mattress regularly, changing from one side to the other and flipping it over to even out the wear. An old-fashioned tip often ignored nowadays. ... View related article. |
