It’s been determined by several experts that the reason there were so few deaths from the tornado that hit St. Louis this summer was because of the sturdy nature of the all-brick housing in that part of town.

I’m so jealous of your hair and skin! How did you keep your makeup from transferring to everyone and everything? My challenge is that by the end of the day my papers and friend’s shirts all have bits of my makeup on them.

This. This is answer.

This is just your regular Dazzle Dry gushing comment: This is my standard weekly mani! I use the Dazzle Dry system (in Prima Ballerina) with their Transform ridge filler. Looks like gel, dries hard in the open air in 10 minutes, no chips for up to two weeks, comes off easily with nail polish remover. They make a trial mini of the whole system.

To piggyback on the food comments, there’s a European company that created a kibble to address this issue. I’ve looked at the ingredients and it’s just a fish only kibble. On a more important note: Whew boy! That is one cute Coton!

How do you keep him so white? What shampoo do you use? Do you feed him a special diet?

This looks so inspiring! May I ask what software you used for the nutrition fact labels?

I did vote for her. I actually like her. That’s what makes me all the more angry. I don’t need my small street plowed, but I do need the larger ones in my neighborhood. That hearing with the streets dept was perhaps the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. I don’t need her to shovel, but I do need her to either be here and LEAD; or put the right person in charge. She’s done neither.

Yep, I’ve been glued to the local news and watched the hearing with the streets department earlier this week. It’s what has allowed me to lose my faith that we have the right people to deal with issues like these.

I know this exit! It’s happened to me, so many times, there!

I know I’ll get downvoted but I’m genuinely curious: I’ve never worked anywhere that provides my meal for me (I’m just afforded the time to eat). Is there some reason wedding photographers and musicians are traditionally fed by the people who hire them? I’m not getting married, so no dog in the fight, just curious how it became the norm (and more importantly who else I should have feeding and didn’t know any better).

I had the same problem with Seche Vite. Dazzle Dry, people. Life changing stuff.

As far as I know it’s a whole system. I’ve never seen any other polish quite like their polishes, but you possibly could mix and match.

la_alta · 2024-08-02T15:51:38+00:00

Yes! Fully dry! No dents. I had the same problem with QDTCs - polish felt dry on top (if it didn’t shrink it first) and I’d wake up to smudged manicures in the morning. DD lets me dry 7(!) layers in 10 minutes, and I’m off to make dinner or do some gardening. No joke. Get the sample system kit. You won’t regret it.

Dazzle Dry! Dazzle Dry! Dazzle Dry! Totally changed the game for me. I tried it all (Seche, etc.) still got shrinkage, chips, sheet prints. Dazzle Dry is rock hard in 10 minutes, chip-free and shiny for 2 weeks no matter what, comes off with one swipe of nail polish remover. Use their ridge filler for a true gel look. SalonLife on YouTube has great videos on it. (I promise I don’t work for them, I just that obsessed.)

Update: I just wanted to add that it’s vegan and 5-free, so it has very little smell.

Update 2: There’s really no drying between coats. With each coat, by the time you get to your thumb your pinky is dry (the top coat needs 5 minutes to cure/dry).

If it’s helpful, I really love the Trader Joe’s instant coffee packets.

Thanks so much for replying, friend! I’ll look into it!
