By Lily I was wondering, if any of us want to admit it, do you dye your hair? Do you do it at home or do you only trust your hair to a salon? I have dyed mine for years and I do it out of boxes at home. I like the Garnier Nutrisse line, although I hate their commercials.

TATTERED TREASURES
Written by Eileen My friend Barbara and I always talked about how we were going to open a sort of thrift shop and call it "Tattered Treasures", and we joked about how between the two of us the shop would have a full inventory. I love almost anything old. I will go to flea markets and rummage sales to scout out any old piece of lace or embroidery, chipped vases, old tin cans, … [Read more...]
