Creams make me itch even more, what I have used is Aveeno skin relief body wash, not the packets

you dissolve in the water, but the actual wash that costs anywhere between $6-7 depending on where you live and was with that 2-3 times a day. You can try that too and see if it helps her any.

They make moisurizing body lotions
now that reduce unwanted hair. I used it on my legs, but it made the hair so fine there that it was harder to shave, which I still needed to do when it was time to wear shorts or a dress. But it might work for your arms.
My arm hair was dark when I was in high school. My mom says the same thing happened to her, but now in my 40s, it's almost gone.
Hormone changes, maybe thyroid stuff could be involved, so you might want to talk to your MD.
You have to cut body fat with aerobics, but it will only make cellulite less noticeable. It

Aveeno
Aveeno is wonderful, any kind. I use the 70 spf sunscreen on my face every day, it is like beauty cream. Regular Aveeno for all over and hands.
You might want to try the seasoning packets that
allow about 20 minutes of marinading. McCormick's makes some good ones. Try also pounding the chicken so it is flat instead of so thick straight from the package. A good site is www.tasteofhome.com. They have some easy recipes. Have you tried googling George Foreman grills and looking for recipes in that fashion? 
Most of the marinade packets
tell you on the back 30 to 60 minutes. The longer you marinade it, the stronger it will be.
Face Creams
I was wondering if any one has any good suggestions for face creams. I use to use the Mary Kay face cream line, but I would like to try something else. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
tried hormonal creams?
myself, i'm meno or post menopausal; but now that i've tried these creams for my hot flashes, i see that they can also be used for PMS symptoms. i got my online at either drugstore.com or vitaminshoppe.com. What seems to be working best for me is the Progest (Emerita) or Progestacare (Lifeflo).
Sorry, I meant ..'There are creams which contain vitamin K.'..sm
And, BTW, vitamin C and calcium are very good for preventing wrinkles.
You are so right, it did itch at first
and then got larger. It does not go as far as my face, does it? Just kidding. It is larger and ugly but on the side of the foot so not as noticable. Thanks.
Husband gets mad and calls me a *itch....
We have been married for 10 years. Lately when he gets mad I am reduced to being called a *itch. When we don't make love, it is because I don't want him. Does not matter what I might do, not cook for him, not turn on the heater this morning when I am supposed to be working.
I am an MT working at home. I have to work a schedule, which I fail to do, so I have to be more stern about what I can and cannot do because I want my job. Being called a *itch---what does that really mean. I do not view myself as a *itch but then no one does. I have read that it is a woman who is extremely disliked, spiteful, overbearing, and I am reduced to this name calling because it is something he wants to call me only because I did not do what he wanted and it made him mad.
He says that he is not in the mental state he should be regarding me working as at home as it is --just not working-- Yes, for years it seems I always work as I try to be with the family and as a result I get behind and have to work every spare moment I get and even then do not make my commitment. Okay, I do get fatigued, maybe depressed, but I love working at home and I know that I have to stick to my schedule. maybe 70% of that is my fault but a lot is from him as well wanting me to do things for him that he can do for himself. like wash his clothes for work, sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't.
Well the reason for all that is to ask.... does my husband really hate me so much to call me a *itch. What really does he mean? I am not overbearing. I let him do whatever he wants. He did not have to work for years. Now he finally gets a job and he is all high and mighty about me and what I do and don't do. He can improve on things just as much as I can. does that mean you have to yell, scream, rant, and rave because he don't get his way.
He says the way to a man's heart is his stomach. Yeah, I have heard all that but does that mean you have to take it so literal. If we don't make love, it is because I don't want him and then he throws a big hissy. I am a man. My testerone levels get too high! he start punching the wall! okay, maybe we don't have time, maybe I am trying to get caught up on work and trying to balance all things, cooking, cleaning, being with my 1 child and husband and work.
Yes, I am reduced to yelling right back at him. Everyday I think I am not going to yell, but I do anyway.
Sorry, any advice. I feel we havea shallow relationship now. He gets mad and then I am a *itch. I try to get along with him and watch our shows together, then, later I get yelled at because I made time to watch TV. We make love, I think we are getting closer, and something else sets him off. I realize we have deep issues we have to work out, but I also think getting mad making the other person miserable is not the answer.
What does he really mean when he says I am a *itch now. helpless....
Whatever's on sale & unscented. Scented makes me itch! (nm)
..
For a child to be allowed to call a g'mother a ..itch
shows a real lack of upbringing - but not on her part- guess whos?
I totally understand your point but people saying itch when they mean scratch
.
I get the most relief from...
Running a HOT, HOT bath and laying down in the water, belly down, and allow my nose to run and run. It really helps to clear it up...for a little while but after a few times of this, I'm better. Hope you feel better..
That's a relief! (nm)
.
well that is a relief
You made it sound like he could not get out of bed, so it is just you who has the problem. Maybe you need the counselor.
some relief for your baby...
Try hemorrhoid cream to the blisters...I swear it will significantly decrease the itching. My daughter was around 4 when she got the chicken pox and I put Preparation-H on her blisters and kept it on them and she barely noticed them. Please try this, it honestly will help! Good Luck...and BTW, sounds like the doctor isn't the only one that is a jerk!!!  ---to your "husband"...
A welcomed relief.....
My daughter is a teacher of 8 year old, most from low socioeconomic backgrounds She hears things she would never had thought children that age would know about. This subject has come up and like she said, if this is the worst thing that would happen in a day, it would be a blessing of a day. And, yes, she says the child does get embarrassed even though others may laugh...... so when does one decide whether it happened by accident or on purpose? I suppose this has never happened to you.
Sure hope you get relief! (nm)

What do you do for stress relief?
I am having a tough time blowing off steam lately and looking for some stress relief ideas...some for in the moment and some for just routine daily/weekly life stress.
I am pregnant so moods are crazy and I am just having difficulty letting go of even the smallest of things. Looking for some pointers, ideas, suggestions. 
My garden tub used to do the trick but now that I work until late at night and have a child home from school for the summer, it is difficult to find the time for that or mani/pedis which I also used to enjoy.
The relief has to be indescribable for all of them. What an ordeal.
It is such an amazing thing to have something like this turn out in the best way it possibly could. My heart breaks for all those families who will never have such an opportunity but takes joy in this, a very special day.
debt consolidation/relief
I'm seriously considering going with one of those debt relief companies to get myself out from under a mound of credit card debt. I feel like I'm drowning. Has anybody had any experience with these companies, good or bad?
good deal, oh the relief! nm

Before considering the CCCS or debt relief (sm)
places, first call the companies. If you haven't been charged off yet, most will work with you and have hardship programs. The accounts will likely be closed, but after 3-4 ontime payments they will "re-age" to show as current, will lower the interest rate so payments are lower and you will pay off over a 4-5 year period (in most cases, you can't use the cards as acct will be closed to further charges in exchange for drastic reduction in interest rate). Going with CCCS or similar, has the same effect as a BK, even worse, on your credit rating. The accounts will report as "closed, paying under debt management plan." While bankruptcy is an option I suppose, if you're a homeowner or have any assets, you'd have to file Chapt. 13 which will allow for some payback. I'd call the companies first and lay out your situation and see what they suggest. The credit industry is in a mess right now so they are willing to work with you if you're upfront and showing good faith.
Ah, that sounds like a relief. Thank you so much for that info! nm
`
Oh, what a relief. --sooo happy for you!.nm
nm
Thank you, I will try that first with the wash in
And I know what you mean about a toner and that's why I'm hesitant to go back to the salon for this. I like the sound of a golden blonde with slightly lighter highlights. Can I do that myself do you think or should I ask them to do it?
$12 for wash, cut, dry; usu tip $3

Wash your car yourself.
because their sprayers chipped a piece of paint on our car. There was already a tiny chip there, so I couldn’t really argue with them about it. You car deserves personal attention. Don’t spend $10 for a machine that can’t get dirt in areas you can.
I wash every day but
rotate between 2 or 3 different shampoos. I find that my hair does better if I change the shampoo every few days. No conditioner when I have short hair. If its longer then I need it to get a brush through it easier after. I also don't style it much at all. I think the hair dryers, curling irons, etc. really do a number on hair. If I am going somewhere or if it is cold outside I will blow dry and style it but I try to do as little as possible in the way of heat. I use hairspray every day though to help give it a little body and not end up static-y in winter.
Update, heavy sigh of relief. sm
My daughter just got a text message, her friend's time of the month arrived. Thank heavens. Thanks for your advice. Hopefully she learned her lesson.
credit card debt relief
Does anyone have any experience with those companies claiming to reduce debt by up to 70%, etc. ?? I'm drowning in debt. :(
Actually, it was a relief. Family spread all over the country,
shopping-for, standing-in-line, buying-the-gift, wrapping-the-gift, boxing-the-gift, driving-to-P.O., standing-in-line, mailing-the-box, etc., x 5 siblings, + 1 mother who needs & wants nothing, & myself, who has no storage, counter, or closet space for anything anyway, it was just getting to be a pointless rat-race. All of us enjoyed the holidays a lot more this year by just plain enjoying them, without the usual related stress involved. Our big day has always been Thanksgiving, when we do all try to get together at mom's.
All I know is of course they have to wash their feet
because they sure "stepped in ****" when they came to this country! :)
I simply wash most of them in the
I turn them upsidedown and swish them in a couple of inches of water. Let the water out of the tub and just let them lay there and drain OR set them outside in the sun to dry. Be careful if it is windy!
Plant wash
I run mine through a short cycle in the top rack of the dishwasher.
I would wash several times - may even
try putting baby oil in first or something - it eventually will loosen and come out if exposed to enough water. Then maybe try to comb out.
I wash mine every other day
I have pretty short hair so I can get away with it. If I have to I can just wet it a little bit and put some gel in it and it's good to go.
I think whether or not you wash your hair
everyday has a lot to do with the type of hair you have and the type of products you use on it. I have what I consider "normal" hair. No perms, just colored, almost shoulder length. When I went through the "big hair" phase, I had to wash my hair everyday just to get the products out. Now that my hair looks more "natural", I can usually skip a day.
I only skip a day, though, when I'm not going anywhere other than the grocery store. Whether my hair looks good or not, I don't feel good about myself unless my hair is washed and styled and makeup on. But that's just me.
How often can she wash her face? sm
Can you imagine having to take all of those, or even 1/2, off first? What a job.
Wash in hottest water, dry on hot that's it. nm
.
I do both ways, wash by hand and also
clean out food particles and wash in the dishwasher. I have no reservations about doing that. The only thing I don't like are family plates set on floor and animals eating out of those and reusing. Yuck.
Gently hand wash it in the sink and let air dry outside. nm

Sick of having to wash my hair EVERY day - suggestions? (sm)
I know people who do not have to do this but I have no choice. If I skip one day of washing my hair, it looks like it has been a week and my face breaks out!! It would save me so much time if I could skip every other day or something. Anyone else have this problem or ideas on what to do?
Wash your mouth out! Tiffany's is not garbage!
!!
Mowing lawns, mail route, get friends together for a car wash
Deliver pizzas, work at restaurant, retail sales (Christmas coming up)....
Good luck!
When you say under the skin?
Do you mean you take off the skin, put the mixture, and then replace the skin? Like I said, I'm an newbie with turkeys, so I have to clarify. thx so much!
Dry skin
I have that problem with many products too and my skin isn't dry to begin with but rather oily. Sometimes I am not sure which problem is more embarrasing, the scaly dry skin or the acne.
I haven't had that problem with product though, even when I use it multiple days in a row.
SKIN
Try the "cracked heel" cream made for your feet. I've tried almost every cream made. Also put a finger cot (you,know they look like mini-condoms) from the drugstore over a Band-Aid over the cream. Use the Band-Aids that are made for fingertips and are stretchy and flexible. Put oodles of cream on when you go to bed. Just grease, grease, grease as much as you can. Protect the split as much as possible. If all else fails, try a regular medical finger splint. Idea is to grease and protect so it will heal - kind of hard to do when you use it to make a living, I know! I live in Maine and it happens to me with our low temps, and these all help. Good luck.

I would second the 2nd skin. (s/m)
I have lots of friends who do serious road-skating: Downhill runs in the middle of the night, inline marathon races, etc. A bad 'road rash' is basically a burn, (except with some asphalt and rocks 'n' stuff in it!). Most of them swear by 2nd Skin. Allowing it to dry out and scab not only makes it much more painful, but it seems to heal with more of a scar. One time I got a knee & elbow rash at the same time, and allowed the knee to scab, and kept the elbow moistened and covered with a nonstick telfa pad and wrapped that with gauze. It not only healed faster than the knee, but the scar is barely visible. I thought that was the best I could do, but my Xtreme skater friends tipped me off about 2nd Skin. I plan to get some and keep it on hand for next time. There is ALWAYS a 'next time'!
