Try Hydraluron. My skin has been very dry lately, I've added this and have been able to avoid changing anything else. Skincare is tough, what works amazingly for someone is totally wrong for someone else. I always look for salicylic acid in my cleansers (and usually a cheap option), any toner that states "refreshing"…

Just introduce one new skin care item at a time. I have pretty "normal" skin, so I may not be the most helpful, but I usually dislike products that I can't "feel" it working, or if my skin starts appearing dull. I think the trick with skincare reviews is to be upfront about your skin type and what you like in a…

Physio can help, you will need a referral from your GP. Try and get into a university run clinic if you are near one, they are much cheaper (I only paid $10/session), and the students are all supervised.

Implanon is literally the worst thing I ever did for myself, HOWEVER, it is exactly the same drug as depo provera, so if that is working for you, I imagine that you may not have any of the negative side effects. It's definitely more convenient than depo. It didn't really bother me getting it in/out, if you can handle…

Aw :( I was thinking puppy-chewing, not anxiety. My little guy doesn't chew but he is a hoarder. It's so bizarre, if I'm missing something, all I need to do it find his hiding spot and there will be a pile of my things, rubbish stolen from the bin and toys surrounding him. I guess he's just getting ready for the…

Rescue pets, especially the adults, are past the point of chewing up EVERYTHING, are house trained, and are always the friendliest little buggers around! :)

oh man, my mother cut my hair off completely when i was 12 because she thought it "looked better short." The kids at school (and myself!) did not agree. I felt like I might as well be walking into school naked. I can't even imagine the humiliation this poor woman felt/feels.

Find a super rich moisturiser and moisturising cleansers. I moved from the east coast of Australia (high humidity) to the middle of the damn country last year and it was HELL. I even resorted to putting straight out sorbolene moisturiser on my face because my skin was so dry and it still didn't help. :(

There are a few in my area, but they are for all dogs, there's no small dog section. I know my dog isn't the type to pick fights - he was actually the therapy dog for the abused/nervous dogs when he was at the RSPCA because he is such a sweetheart, but I have the same fear - all he has to do is piss off the wrong…

This Aesop one seems to be just for the spot themselves - I have essentially normal skin, and I have to admit I'm tempted by the smell more than anything else. What really works for those really bad, painful spots is Garnier's Pure Active Multi-Action toner. I'm pretty sure this stuff is just outright nail polish…

What are dog parks like? I really want to take my little guy to one, but he is a 6kg Westie and I live in an area where large dogs (huskies, rottweilers, bull arabs, etc) are really popular and I have heard a few stories about dogs (and people!!) getting attacked, so I'm worried for his safety. He really loves other…

Newest obsession: skincare. I spent the last week reading Caroline Hiron's ENTIRE blog. I have a list of products I want to try (about $600 worth) but the main ones are:

Sounds like you need a clarifying shampoo. Head and Shoulders would probably work for this and kill any dandruff at the same time! It's so cheap it can't hurt to try :)

As a nurse I just can't even anymore. Every time I think I have heard all seen it all, something like this comes along. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Australia will only inherit celebrities from New Zealand. Common knowledge.

I just think it's really disrespectful to the costume department.

Sounds like a reasonable level of karma for the mess of IV lines and blood and poo that the patients are returned to the ICU in! ;)

IVDU with sepsis and giant abscess that explodes when lanced...yep, sounds exceedingly rare.

Oh man, every patient in the ICU power-poos! A colleague of mine had turned his patient only to have said patient cough and spray him head to toe with shit!

I've always wondered if these magazines just outright make these stories up or if there are legitimate weirdos out there that send stories in claiming to be "friends" of celebrities. I'm thinking a little of both.
