Benzoyl peroxide at night (zit cream) Aveeno 70 SPF face sunscreen during the day. The sunscreen has some type of silicone in it with lots of vitamins and some zinc for a shimmering effect. The benzyol peroxide cream sloughs off the dead skin cells, but it stains bed sheets and clothes, so get out your white pillow cases. The sunscreen is about $10 for a large tube.

The Mirage in my paper is CHEAP-CHEAP-CHEAP
He's a beauty!
What a handsome boy! Congratulations !
As an aside, Hayseed what exactly are you pointing at? Or are you doing the 70's groove thang? 
Beauty
It is surprising that such beauty that mushrooms can be so beautiful.
What a beauty he was
and a I bet a real joy. Glad you got to be a part of his life, even though too short a time, and what a great story!
What a beauty
hope she keeps improving.
She is a beauty! Thanks. NM

the beauty of Christianity
We ALL have skeletons in our closets!!!!! We all are sinners!!!!! The beauty of the gift of Christ is that we can be forgiven through his sacrifice if we make him our Savior. That is what draws the line between a true Christian and an unsaved person, not the sin, as we all have it in our lives.
go to Sally's Beauty Supply if you have one
I promise you this will help thinning hair and also I have shared this with my friends who have lost their hair due to chemo treatments. This is a leave-in hair conditioner, comes in a plastic tube (you have to shake it up each time) that smells terrific. Now, you don't just apply it like hair conditioner, what you have to do (and there are no instructions to tell you this) is you have to move your scalp back and forth with your fingertips once you apply this to your scalp. The scalp moves very little - but it is this little movement that stimulates the conditioner into making your hair MUCH THICKER within 2 months! I PROMISE YOU. I was on interferon in 2000 and a hair salon owner told me about it as I had hair loss (not total) very badly from the interferon (a clinical trial used on me but not for cancer) and what she told me was the absolute truth!!! If you don't have Sally's Beauty Supply, try any beauty supply store. Fermodyl comes in many numbers but you are looking for number 7.
Hope this helps - as a matter of fact, I am 110% sure it's going to work for you. 
I don't watch beauty pagents, but
saw on the news where the Miss USA was booed in Mexico. How sad that our neighbors don't seem to like us. I hope this was just a fluke.
My bad! My little girl says its Sleeping Beauty
not Snow White! I stand corrected! I'm not a princess expert by any means!
He was a beauty, Hay. I'm glad you found each

Me too, it is so very hard to lose a pet. What a beauty.

She's a beauty...sorry for your loss Misha...sm
The day you started your new job and Bear ate the ottoman, I e-mailed you and asked about Sasha and she seemed to be okay. Hasn't been too long since your last dog passed on and you got Bear. I bet she will be a great lead dog with her other buds up there. Cat
Health and beauty products
I always like to hear about good reviews of products because sometimes it can be overwhelming with all the choices. I just thought we could all share about one or two of our favorites - hair or makeup. I personally love L'Oreal volumizer mascara and most Lancome makeup even though it's pricey. I'm looking for a really good shampoo and conditioner though - anyone?
Fermodyl #7 from beauty supply store
only thing is - this is a leave-in hair conditioning treatment - you massage only the scalp part and by only moving the scalp versus your fingers....my hair grew back in 2 months (was on interferon and lost a lot of hair on that drug) with Fermodyl #7.....
zinc is good for hair, teeth, and GUMS.......
beauty fades, dumb is forever

Had to get my beauty sleep but back today
I have to take Lyrica nightly and just get to the point have to lie down, so sedating, take for fibromyalgia and cannot take in the day. Back to you, though. I would definitely try, if possible, to get out of the house either with hubs or some friends. You are in a mighty rut and it will drive you crazy. I am not saying you have to run around on hubs but do something for yourself to help your sanity out. I took some ceremics (sp?) and I travel- without hubs- I love but he does not want to go and so I go with a group. One group I am with has day trips and this month going to Shorter, Ala because has gambling place there. Not a gambler but have a friend who can have a good gab session with, eat lunch and just watch what others are doing for the day. It is on a nonwork day and just something to do for the day to get out. I love home, don't mind staying here about 24/7 but also love that traveling. Can you and hubs afford a night out, dinner or the like? I think if you were able to get out some then life may not be so totally boring at home. Don't know where you live but in my town I could go to a good comedy show. That could help with the laughter you are missing and I go to the movies sometimes and just by myself. I do not allow hubs to come as he ALWAYS falls asleep, no matter what the movie is. Some days I make it a movie day and get 2 at the same theater and see them both, just me. Gosh, I don't know what else to suggest but find time and make time for yourself, laugh and have a good time even IF by yourself, could make a difference in some sunshine in your life.
Heck no! Finally had to get a fake one due to hub's allergies, but it is a beauty once it's up

Check to see if there's a beauty supply place in your area. nm

Ha, I'm cheap too
That's why I said I really can't afford to buy anything!
No, you are not cheap.
I personally find those tip jars tacky. When I worked in the food industry, we were strictly forbidden to accept tips at the counter and if the customers insisted, we were supposed to turn it in to the manager, although the managers were usually cool and let us keep it.
Not cheap I guess, but
being into gardening I was wondering if they would like to fill containers with a little container garden of coleus varieties or other small, less expensive annuals. They could keep them or give them to their moms for Mother's Day. Just a thought. Maybe they could paint the outsides of the pots.
cheap eats
There are plenty of cheap eats in the city once you learn your way around. For example, the fruit in Chinatown is fantastic, and a whole lot cheaper than what I pay in my town. But my very, very, very favorite is a Middle Eastern pushcart on 6th and 56th(?) outside the Hilton. They sell a chicken and rice dish for $4 that is amazing. It is a huge amount of food,and I usually split with my daughter. Throw a couple of drinks in and we have spent $6 for a yummy lunch for two.
It is not unsanitary like you might think. They have been there for years and are extremely popular. Last time we went to NYC, we stayed in Brooklyn and made a special trip to the pushcart. They are there during the week for lunch only.
yeah ours did too but they are the cheap
they don't last long.
is this *selective remembering* or is she CHEAP?
Salonpas is cheap - cheaper still at Sam's
I think you can buy a huge box for under $10. They are good on sprained wrists, too, my daughter gets those after doing carpentry around the house (talented girl) and we put them on and they work great. I use the slightly larger ones on my chronic low back pain and while they don't last for hours, they give pretty good relief of moderate to low pain and last about an hour. And they really are inexpensive. I learned about them in a Chronic Pain Class I was taking at my HMO, thought what can I lose, and found they work well for me.

cheap and easy meals?
What are your favorite quick and cheap family meals? I have to bring my grocery budget down. I need some ideas for meals that can be made for about $10. My family is getting tired of spaghetti, chili, pork barbecue sandwiches and sloppy joes. What do YOU whip together on the cheap? I'm all ears.
casserole - easy and cheap
Chicken casserole
3-4 boneless chicken breasts
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 C shredded swiss cheese or mozzarella
1 1/2 C stuffing (Stove Top in can)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 can of white wine or chicken broth
1 stick butter
Cut up boneless chicken in bites. layer in 9 x 13 pan. top with sliced mushrooms, then shredded swiss cheese. mix together soup and wine/broth and pour over top.
sprinkle stuffing over everything. pour melted butter over and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes
whoa!! That was a cheap shot LOL, but I'd rather have a

Cheap squirrel deterrent
To keep squirrels from climbing up the pole to get to your feeder, you can attach a simple slinky to the bottom of the feeder, encircling the pole. The squirrel jumps up, grabs the slinky, and gets lowered to the ground. They can't figure it out. Supposedly it works and keeps on working for years! Fun to watch, too. It would also disturb the birds less than a feeder that spins to detach squirrels, LOL.
wrapping cookies cheap.
Are they being mailed?? If so, wrap them in plastic wrap and then foil and put them in Pringle's Potato Chip tins. This works great for care packages going to Iraq.
It's still pretty cheap compared to other sm
countries! Look at the price of diesel and fuel - that impacts the USPS as much as it does all of us.
It's only a penny.
now's the time to invest -- buy cheap
and ride it out. Why are you asking, did you win a big one?
Can You Wear Cheap Clothes?
and they look good on you?
I was just thinking about my deceased mother and she sometimes would say about someone "I wish I could wear cheap clothes like her!"
Ironically - one of the best fitting/looking blazers my mom ever bought was from Walmat and was on a clearance rack for $7.99. (orig price wasn't all that much higher)
It sounds like a catty insult/put down, but my sister says it too about her friend, and it's not said with any kind of malice - she just wishes she could buy cheaper clothing that fits well and looks good too and save the money.
I hope I can wear some cheap because
just bought 2 tops at Kohls this morning on sale, about $8 each. Everything was on sale, 50, 60 and 70% off. I love Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, they fit so good but they have changed the texture of the pants and this morning I looked but bought another brand with the kind of material I love, spandex and real light weight material, capris for later in summer. Bought a pair of sunglasses and lost already.
A cheap place on a golf course, that is a surprise - sm
Personally since there is 8 of you expense is not really an issue if you are dividing the cost up between everyone. I'd go for comfort if expense is not an issue. The guys can drive to a golf course if they want to play. Another thing to do is either make a list of pros and cons OR call everyone involved and get them to vote; that way you can say you did a vote and X one; so if they complain they hate it they won't have you to blame, someone has always got to complain about something it seems. Have fun whichever way you decide.
HAHA! See, would never work with us. We are both cheap leaders sm
I don't like him telling me what to do and he hates taking instruction from me, so we sit here in a 25 year old home with nothing getting done because we're too cheap to hire and too stubborn to work together!!!!
Good, cheap spell checkers? (sm)
Does anyone know a good medical spellchecker that is fairly cheap? My c drive crashed today - just got it fixed - and I cannot find my Stedman's CD anywhere. I need to work tomorrow so I want to get something on here quick. There are lots of others out there but I don't know anything about them. I had downloaded one at one point that would automatically correct my words when my spelling was very close. Would love to find that one again but don't remember what it was.
tell hubby there are lots of cheap motels
Florida poster here.....lots of cheap Kissimmee hotels/motels - sleeps 4-6....$39-$49/nightly or cheaper if you do like 3 to 4 days....
Calling coworker/buddy you haven't seen in a decade just to ask if one can stay there w/family is NOT a good idea......
olds saying - guests, like garbage, get old in 3 days........tell your husband to FORK OVER THE $$....he can afford Disney Parks? He can afford a $50/night room for his FAMILY....HIS family.....
Just my *take*......no flames please
I get my professional strength ones on ebay for really cheap
They are less than $5 and are the same exact stuff they use in the dentist office. I have been using them for years and everyone tells me that I have the nicest teeth.
to be cheap - I buy ready made blankets
big lots, target, saw them somewhere in an add for 2.50 in yesterday's paper - that does limit your size but I'm making them for no reason - it is very therapeutic for me - just really got into tying those knots - made them for my daughters at Christmas (adults) and now I am thinking it would be good to keep one in cars too, for trips and in case you got stuck and it was cold because they are warm!
Walmart has their own Oil of Olay stuff cheap.

An eyelash curler is quite cheap and works well. SM
There are may mascaras out there that will thicken up lashes.
Try both these before shelling out that kind of money.
We'll use the word inexpensive instead of cheap. LOL
It is hard to find anymore. The industry takes averages from what I read and if you are not average you're just in bad shape. No pun.
I have decided to learn to sew as time allows. I made 2 shirts last year and they fit better and are more comfortable than anything I have bought.
Scrubs! They're comfy and CHEAP. nm

Fried rice is another good, cheap meal (sm)
I use a rice cooker a lot since I can cook w/o babysitting it. Make extra rice and put it in a ziplock bag and refrigerate. Next day you can take the leftover rice and bits of meat and veggies left over from other meals and an egg or two, and make fried rice. If you're new at it, there are some inexpensive fried rice spice mix packets that give you the flavor with some instructions. But once you've done it a few times, you can wing it with some asian spices and just use up the leftovers you have.

Need a new printer for Vista OS...Any suggestions for a good cheap one?? sm
I need a new printer compatible with Windows Vista OS. I would like an All In One, but at this point, I am not picky...I just need to print! Thanks in advance for all suggestions!
Need cheap food idea for 50th Bday sm
I will have about 30 people to feed. I want to have food but looking for budget ideas. Thanks. I am surprising my husband for his 50th. I live in a cold climate. Thanks!
if one has good feet, one can wear cheap shoes.
Shoes do not necessarily have to be espensive to be good. There are also expensive shoes that are not so good.
People with unhealthy feet need expensive shoes.
I have a lot of shoes (over 100) average price $ 40.--, and I have very healthy feet.
I take very good care of my feet and my shoes, some are 20 years old, inspite being medium priced.
I could not wear the same shoes, yearin, yearout, resoled, repaired, etc...boring!
Sorry!
But, most of the time, I run around barefoot, that's the best shoe!
