RE: Really Different 25th Birthday Party Ideas
I threw a cross dressing party last summer. It was so fun. The guys dressed as girls and the girls dressed as guys. I also had prizes for the best outfits. We also went out to Perkins in our outfits at midnight. It was the best party ever. ... View related article.

RE: Saving for the Vacation
I saved for a trip to Hawaii by putting a jar in the bathroom where everyone put loose change in at the end of the day. After doing it for a year I had accumlated more than $350! I didn't realize how much it all adds up. I used all of this money towards my trip. It's a great way to save your money and not even realize you are doing it. ... View related article.

RE: Homemade Depilatory Wax
Here's a recipe, it works great!!
I cut up old shirts for the strips to use.
1 cup sugar
Half a lemon for the juice
1/4 cup honey
A little bit of Molasses if you have any like a drizzle
Cornstarch (to powder with for tautness making it more effective)
Something to spread the mixture with like a tongue depressor, popsicle stick, cheese spreader or spatula.
Cotton fabric (any old thing you can find or buy some strips at a store)

Mix lemon, sugar, and honey in a bowl. Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, until it bubbles into a smooth consistency. I find this a lot simpler then turning on the stove, but it would be safer if you watched over the heat on the stove. If you use the stove use LOW heat.
Now move away from the mixture and go do something while it cools a little down so you can touch it safely. A little bit warmer though is better though to use. Microwave it for 20 seconds if you find the need to. The NADS commercial said re heating isnt necessary, but its no big deal doing so and I find it is necessary as all sugaring products do need just a little heating.
Make sure your legs or where ever you wish to place it is clean and dry. Then dust area with cornstarch so its more effective as it draws out oil. Spread a thin layer on your leg. Cover with a strip of fabric, and rubbing the strip the opposite way of hair growth, about 3 times.
Grab the fabric end and pull it off very quickly against the direction of the hair growth or the other way if you wish. It will hurt, but after awhile its a lot less painful. I am sure youre strong enough to withstand pain. Reheat the mix if it gets too hard to spread. This stores for a long time. I just use a vitamin E face cream container thats plastic since thats fairly big which costs only a buck at the dollar store. Just make sure it's clean and oil free. You could also use a glass jar as well. ... View related article.
