Ah, you're all logic Garlic.

I never let logic and reasonable arguments ruin a good worry!

What's wrong with floss? Confused

You have to use something to get the left-over yuk from between your teeth - what am I missing? Why is floss worry-worthy?

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 07/02/2013 15:22

Interdental brushes are much easier than floss IMO, but you need to get the right size.

Can anyone create that just out of the salon look , the first time they have washed their hair post visit?
I can't my hair looks shit 99% of the time and fab for that one day every 6 -8 weeks ..

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 07/02/2013 15:44

Ah, now I would ask the opposite question. What on earth do hairdressers do to my hair when they blowdry it because the first thing I do is go home and wash it and do it how I like it. Well, not any more because I just go for a wet cut and save the money. Not that that is much help to you Jen, sorry!

Floss is wonderful, it's the disposing thereof that's fraught with worry - must go in bin or sea creatures will suffer.
I'm with the WhoKniows on hair- I like it messy and hairdresser dries it straight to cut.
Which seems like a waste.

Jacksmania · 07/02/2013 20:00

I just wind floss around my finger to form a little circle and pull it off and bin it.

I hate my hair when my stylist has dried it.

Actually, I currently hate my hair, period. I used to have a fabulous inverted bob, just above my shoulders. Then I thought to grow it longer so I can pull it back for yoga. I love that. Pulled back, it looks great. But when I leave it down it looks shit and flat and blah. :(

I have a real love-hate relationship with my hair, when it's good it's fabulous, when it's bad its bloody awful and I never know which it's going to be when I wake up in the morning. I never keep it the same for long and am always tinkering with styles and products.

When I have it blowdried in a salon they always make me look like one of the Loose Women, I am much more casual and it just doesn't feel like me.

Me too who knows today is a bad hair day

Does anyone else wear normal pants under their shapeware?I do and always have and it looks fine

thenightsky · 09/02/2013 22:32

Oh yes... I always wear a pair of normal knickers under shapewear. I'd consider it a bit mucky not to.

ProlificWillyBreeder · 10/02/2013 10:00

Where do you get your shape wear from and it is true to size? I think my shape wear vest is t

ProlificWillyBreeder · 10/02/2013 10:00

too big and thus not working!

thenightsky · 10/02/2013 10:12

I've had some good shapewear from TKMaxx in the past, but my full length bra sized best of all one is from M&S.

ProlificWillyBreeder · 10/02/2013 17:29

Thanks I'll go to M&S :)

frostfrond · 10/02/2013 17:32

I get mine from Primark.the one with the high waist and long bits on the leg. Not glamorous but I really like it

marthamydear · 10/02/2013 21:34

garlicblocks · 10/02/2013 22:48
