chipmunks eat the bulbs....damn!!! Now I know why only 12 out of my 56 bulbs bloomed. And I planted them while I was fasting too. Double damn! I'm sure they weren't the only reason...I don't really have a green thumb. But I'm going to blame the chipmunks from now on!! :)

I'll be looking forward to the sonf-thyme-lemon concoction! :)

Nice picture! Tulips are my favourite flowers too, and often the main subjects of my photographs. Where I live, they are as abundant as the little chipmunks who like to eat bulbs! Far too many of my flowers didn't come up this year, so I guess somebody's been eating well again. I think I should go back to planting veggies!

If you have oily skin, go very light on the glycerine (as in a drop or so). Or, better yet, just keep a spray bottle of pure rose water (glycerine-free) in the fridge and use it throughout the day. You'll notice a difference in your skin.

I also make a toner out of sonf, thyme (or rosemary) and lemon. My sister has oily skin and she just loves it - I'll try to dig up the recipe so you can try it too.

Great tips!! wow...I'm going to try the rose water with glycerine mixture. Sounds cool. My skin is oily, I'll probably have to use less glycerine. Where can I get these ingredients from? Rose water?

Oh by the way nice username...Pink tulips are my FAV. flowers and flower colour. If you go into my pics...i think in the album section...you'll see a pic of my first tulip. I live in the south and the weather is not ideal for these flowers (I had to baby it to get it to grow). I'm originally from Toronto, and they grew abundantly there. Okay completely off topic here...haha

I just discovered lipgloss by Alba which is more natural and very reasonably priced. It's available at Fiddleheads and other health food stores (odd places to shop for makeup, I know!). I've also learned that you can now buy water-based nailpolish....no more acetate! :)

A mixture of rose water and glycerine (about a 4:1 ratio) applied to the face (for a short period of time, or even overnight) helps to soften and brighten skin. It's very moisturizing during the winter months, but also refreshing during summer (just use less glycerine).

Thanks Markar...avon... my mom loves their lipsticks. I've tried their facial products...ANEW. Pretty good stuff. What makeup do you recommend?

As for sensitive skin: Because the skin is sensitive, it's not so much what to put on the skin but rather what to avoid in order to help treat it. It will react adversely to products that contain alcohol, fragrance oils, or other synthetic ingredients. Try using products that are marked "hypoallergenic" or are made especially "for sensitive skin".

Thanks Theanamness! I'm going to try that! I wanted to try aquafor for a while now. I remember there was this apricot scrub by St. Ives that we used to get for a $1...way back when it first came out. Now it's priced even more then other similar products. It works really well. Great tip!

at the end of everynight, wash your face, pat dry, then use a small amount of aquaphor... it'll leave your face feeling amazing... and then every two nights, wash your face, then scrub with apricot scrub, and then use the aquaphor... its awesome

gently brush your lips after you brush your teeth. it's a gentle and most convenient exfoliation for your lips!

Thanks bebebeaute for your tip! I have to be honest with you, I didn't understand the joker reference. Unless, someone uses the lip liner "out" of the lips. Or applies an unsubtle colour. But, if you apply a nice soft lip liner say from MAC all over the lips, it is not harsh on the lips at all! It comes off very easily, especially when you apply your lipstick on top of that. I usually end up eating my lipstick so I don't even have the problem of removing it. :)
I like the chapstick tip!! I use Vaseline...haha hey it works!

I am not sure if lip liner is good for your lips, it might stay longer, but too much of it can make you look like a joker. In that case don't attempt to rub it off with tissue or a kerchief or even cotton, as this can leave the lips very dry and not even receptive to another application of lipstick. Instead, blot gently with tissues till they come clean. You can also use some moisturizer to clean it with.
And right before you sleep use a neutral color chapstick, it will help your lips be soft next morning.
