Beauty Box

Yes they're pretty Wren,:D but I have to wear the memory heel type now either slip on or lace up..Skechers. Fortunately there are some great styles out there..and I only wear my heals from car to bar type of situations.

The other day I wore sued ankle boots with a 2 inch cuban heel, for the first time in ages to actually walk somewhere. I only had to walk a mile, ...ooooh I thought my feet were going to fall off , ..I was thinking ''OMG it's only a short time ago that I could run in 4 inch heels'' ...so now if I have any walking to do I just wear the memory heel skechers, and take my nice shoes or boots for the event..

Oh yes I have lots of flip flops and padded sole sandals too...
 

Cute, hollydolly!
I do best with some heel. Too flat shoes throw me off.
I just bought some Clarks sandals with adjustable straps for work. They are soooo comfortable.
It's hard to find something considered dress sandal that is comfortable enough to be on your feet all day.
 
Wren, I love those shoes. I can wear flats but they have to be good shoes. Sometimes I see cute flats in stores but they just don't work, no support.
The other reason I like a little heel is I'm short. Keesha did you say Frumpy? That's me in flats.
I don't think I'm vain but a little self conscious.

That's the way to be Keesha, enjoying your life and appearance how you want it, not what anyone else thinks.

I'm the same with good footwear..I got plantar fascitis year before last from standing on a concrete floor for 10 hours a day at work, so I had to stop wearing heels, and change to good quality trainers, I like the memory heel skechers, they are so lighweight and they have the heel protection... I have boxes of all styles of shoes and boots..ankle boots, knee high etc, and all but the highest heels I wear when I'm going out. otherwise I stick with the skechers to keep my feet pain free. ... me in a pair of the many knee high boots I own...

Oh hollydolly, you rock those knee highs.
They look great on you. :clap:
This year I’m going to get a pair of over the knee boots. They look so hot but I’ve never had a set before.

I can remember wearing stilettos all day when I first started work ! How we change, now I’m all about comfort and wear mainly boots in winter and leather flip flops in summer although I’ve just bought these for in between days, they look good with white cropped jeans

Those are sure cute Wren. They would look cute with shorts.
Even the sandals I get are quality walking sandals.
I ‘had’ the cutest pair of Merrell sandals but last Saturday I had guests over for lunch and their dog ate them:cry:
They said they’d pay for them but I’m not sure I can get another pair like these .They were the only pair in the store. I’m sure I’ll find something else that’s a suitable. It was an accident. He’s a 125 pound dog whose still a puppy and I suppose they tasted good. :laugh:

Do you wear different shades of nail polish summer and winter ? I mainly wear a soft biscuit shade but in summer like a brighter shade, usually orange or maybe cerise depending on my outfit
 
I tend to wear whatever colour matches whatever I’m wearing at the time so I have a large variety of different shades to choose from. I do however like a variety of pinks that I wear as neutrals however I do have tans and biscuit colours.
Once my nail polish starts going tacky I’ll try adding a bit of nail polish remover to thin it out some. If that doesn’t work then I throw it out.

Do any of you ladies add any of those spray wash out colours to your hair?
I do but I only colour a small portion of my hair at a time. I’ve got about 8 different colours so far. They are so fun. I see a lot of older women using them and I always think ‘way to go.’ Of course I’m not talking about fluorescent lime green throughout the entire hair.
 
I’ve found adding a little nail polish remover to thin it out makes the nail polish less glossy, it seems to give more of a matt finish

I was growing the colour out of my hair last year but really didn’t like the way it was looking so started to use Henna Cream wash out colour, it gives a deep auburn shade lasting for about 8 washes, I see a lot of ladies using the spray in colours, red, purple, turquoise, etc. not for me but if it makes them happy, good for them :D

The coloured part of my hair is hennaed but on my bangs at the front I sometimes add a streak or two of the spray colours that wash out first time.

Occasionally I’ve put streaks through the entire length and I really like it and I get a lot of compliments on it. I grew in my greys cause I liked the colour but also because I had to touch up my roots every 10 days and I’d have the dreaded skunk stripe so I’m very happy I finally grew it out.

I know , that’s what puppies do. It bummed me out for a bit but there are worst things to get upset about.
Next week we will be laughing about it.

Keesha, no I have never used those coloured sprays in my hair, they would never look as lovely as they do in your braids.... that is really beautiful..wow!!!

Oh thank you hollydolly but I beg to differ. I think you would. It would look especially nice with your blonde hair. Pink & purple look great together. Just sayin’ :shrug:
 
Does anyone read Beautypaedia or makeup alley to get reviews? I have saved money using these.

I’ve not heard of either of these but just Googled them both Beautypaedia looks interesting

I’d also not heard of Angie and Sal, is it a comedy show ?
 
Thought you all might like some shampoo tips:
