I think you would like something my daughter wears
Chanel Chance- I always had trouble with Chanel staying on but I can always smell it on her and it is not heavy, very subtle, very light, good for summer.

My 17 yo DS wears a size 14...
my DH and 19 yo DS wear size 12. There are lots of big-footed men in my house, and I'm constantly tripping over their enormous shoes.
You can't do anything to keep their feet from getting bigger. Just get to know places like DSW and Zappos!

I have an 8-year-old German shepherd, and she barks quite a bit, but the collar has really helped, and she looks just as happy as your dog. Sorry you got bashed! Some people are just WAY too over the top! If they were so cruel, they wouldn't sell them in most pet stores, and my vet wouldn't have recommended it! Here is my baby:

Problem is, it wears off after a while if SM
you take it regularly. I agree, good for stressful times, but on a regular basis, the good effects wear off quickly. That's why people get addicted to it.

Please, not accusing you or anyone else. It just doesn't work on a regular basis, but occasionally is great.

Actually, regular exercise for over 45 minutes, raises endorphine levels and that also works. If I spelled anything wrong here, too bad! LOL!

My DH wears no jewelry whatsover - sm
he also has a big thing with tags and scent too, very sensitive skin, not one shirt of his still has a tag in it. When we were first married he would wear his ring when I forced him too in social situations, but just was not worth the hassle and he is not one to keep quiet about his wife and family, so I have no worries on that score. He really cannot wear it at work either as he puts his hands in high voltage tanks and one guy tried it once with his ring on, almost lost his finger when it arc welded to the tank and burnt him really badly, so that is a good reason not to wear it to work. Also he is rarely anywhere without us, and if so it is usually with guys, no women, and they all know he is married with 2 kids. The other point being even if a man wears a ring he can still cheat! I don't always where my ring either though I do wear it.

I agree! Read Devil Wears Prada
before it became a hit movie. Glad I'm not the only one who likes that kind of stuff. :)

My 2-year-old twins are potty trained. (1 wears pull-ups at night).
