I'm gonna ask this again and maybe I we luck out an answer.

Hairstylists in North Raleigh or Wake Forest area that can do funky cuts and color? Or anywhere really I guess.

6/17/2014 11:00:50 AM

I like Bella Trio...they've helped with my fashion show for the past 2 years and always have some fun dos.

I don't really get my hair cut or colored, so I'm sure some of these ladies have suggestions as well.

6/17/2014 11:51:32 AM

atomic salon does fun stuff

http://www.atomicsalon.com/home.html

you'd want their uptown location

6/17/2014 11:55:14 AM

Is atomic salon the place next to irregardless? If so my friend used to go there. Did not know they had an uptown location!

6/17/2014 12:07:22 PM

yes. and the uptown location is newish. they opened a year or two ago i think

6/17/2014 12:12:40 PM

is that the kind of place that gives you cocktails while they cut your hair?

How does that shit not end up in your drink?

6/17/2014 4:12:53 PM

LOL @ "uptown"

And "midtown," for that matter.

6/17/2014 5:22:46 PM

I agree Bridget.


Where does everyone buy their sexy time toys? My favorite one broke

6/18/2014 9:09:20 AM

^ I like Cherry Pie. Adam & Eve doesn't have much selection, and what they do have is too much money for what you are getting. I haven't been to Frisky Business yet, but I know I need to.

If you know what you want, and you just need a good price, then Amazon's Sexual Wellness store is best. http://tinyurl.com/khmo3bh

6/18/2014 9:20:15 AM

Thank you! I think amazon is the way to go.

Any favorite brands? The one I want is way too much money.

lol do you want it just bc its got your name on it?


A good salon in N. Raleigh is Douglas Carroll on Falls in the shopping center where The Fresh Market is.

I've been going there for a couple years now. It's got a spa as well so you can go get pampered.

It's a little on the pricey side. A women's haircut starts at $65.00. I've never gotten my hair highlighted or colored there but my mom does every other month. I think it runs her almost $200 for highlights.

6/18/2014 11:04:17 AM

Yes, but it also has good reviews

200 dollars is a lot of money...tell me that isn't the norm! I used to go to trade secret in triangle for a haircut. It cost about 30 bucks.

6/18/2014 11:31:19 AM

well she gets her hair cut plus highlights

6/18/2014 11:33:54 AM

Hello ladies.

6/18/2014 11:35:07 AM

If I just want a simple haircut, I'll go to Mitchell's for $30.00

but if I want a real change (like a drastic cut or something), I'll go see my guy at Douglas Carroll

6/18/2014 11:36:25 AM

I haven't bought a purse since high school, and the two that I have barely fit my phone so I think I should buy a new one. I like the lesportsac hobo https://www.lesportsac.com/Classic_Hobo but the logo is kind of obnoxious. Anyone know of a simple looking lightweight bag that's not covered in logos?

6/20/2014 10:22:54 PM

shit, I know how to contour now.

6/25/2014 8:23:46 PM

^^just go to marshall's/tj maxx/burkes/ross/steinmart....or even belk


you can find reasonably priced purses in all shapes, sizes, and colors....

6/25/2014 9:04:35 PM

Just stopping in to say that I really dislike the wedge-style shoe. You know, the kind that is shaped kind of like high heels but the heel is filled in. That style is like the Honda Element of women's shoes.

6/25/2014 9:10:09 PM

Me too. You look weird and walk weird.



[Edited on June 25, 2014 at 9:18 PM. Reason : n]

6/25/2014 9:17:03 PM

contouring seems way too time consuming...i would like to try it though just to see the results

6/25/2014 10:00:28 PM

^this

my usual routine takes all of 5 minutes b/c I don't usually have time to give many fucks. bb cream is the best thing ever made btw

6/25/2014 10:58:12 PM

Yep... Bb cream is the most wonderful gift given to the low maintenance professional woman who wants to wear makeup

7/5/2014 10:25:02 PM

i started using this stuff recently. not as heavy as the pur minerals powder i was using. nice for summer. a++ would apply again.

those ladies at ulta are some good sales people. i can't walk out of there without spending $$$


also, for $5 i have found this mascara to be the bomb.



it has little fibers in it. extends the lashes. i always run my brush under really hot water for .2 seconds to make my mascara go on smoothly. i don't care if you think its gross....it works perfectly.

7/5/2014 10:35:58 PM

Oh man I will totally pick up some of that mascara for five dollar bucks

7/5/2014 11:03:30 PM

I'm curious about the water thing

7/6/2014 7:09:32 PM

I recently started contouring and really like it. I don't do it for casual, everyday looks though.

7/6/2014 11:04:31 PM

Do you use a powder or cream? Do you also do highlighting?

7/6/2014 11:10:00 PM

I start with a cream foundation for a base. Then I use a matte powder for the dark areas and a shiny highlighter for the areas I want to emphasize. I use this for the highlighter because I have a free sample from sephora. http://m.sephora.com/watt-s-up-P295206?skuId=1357250

7/6/2014 11:50:39 PM

I'm with you. I've always applied my make-up similarly because my mother bought me a hilarious Cindy Crawford book instead of actually showing me.

But I don't think this is what other people imagine as "contouring."

7/7/2014 12:28:55 AM

bb cream contouring is a thing now. (big in japan blah blah blah). basically, you just use 2 or 3 shades of cream to paint your face and blend it all in. doesn't seem like a great idea if you might sweat.

7/7/2014 4:16:46 PM

I've been experimenting with hightlighting/contouring the last couple of weeks. Check out Carli Bybel's YouTube channel. There's plenty of tutorials out there but I just love all of her videos

[Edited on July 7, 2014 at 11:23 PM. Reason : also I love tarte! I'm so mad that they discontinued my agent 00. I have some left that I mix with t]

[Edited on July 7, 2014 at 11:24 PM. Reason : heir foundation. I need to find more on eBay. ]

7/7/2014 11:21:48 PM

^^that actually seems like a really good idea that would be pretty foolproof

7/7/2014 11:36:05 PM

Question for any short ladies...

My wife is short (like 4' 10"). Is there any place that sells petite size dresses that actually has decent variety in styles and doesn't cost a fortune? On her, mini skirts / dresses go down to her knees and anything full length is much too long (she can't wear heels much taller than 4" or so).

Any suggestions? Besides shopping in youth departments.

7/8/2014 1:01:50 PM

I like Ann Taylor Loft Petites, and it's not too expensive.

7/8/2014 1:12:23 PM

anyone have a good primer they really like and have experienced great results? I use benefit's primers, tarte's poreless primer and even monistat's anti-chafing gel (I know, lol, it's supposed to work) but still my make up cracks in my fine lines and wrinkles.

7/8/2014 3:52:49 PM

I loved Philosophy's primer from a sample I got, but I haven't bought a full size one. I don't use primer that often and have a thing of Laura Geller Spackle (which I don't like much) I would prefer to use before I buy more.

7/8/2014 3:55:24 PM

i used to have that issue. nothing helped. so i stopped wearing foundation. I slap some bb cream on my t zone b/c it's a little bit darker and it evens stuff out a bit, and then finish off with an ultra fine finishing translucent powder. when I need it I use some concealer.

haven't had that issue since

not what you were asking for exactly but....... *shrug*

7/8/2014 3:56:05 PM

Anyone 4'10" really needs to get a sewing machine and learn how to use it. Most dresses and skirts aren't that hard to hem, and it will make her life so much easier.

7/8/2014 4:07:12 PM

"Back to school" season ...closer to Fall...closer to being able to wear Fall clothes.

8/6/2014 7:00:23 PM

I use NARS light optimizing primer EVERY day and love it. I only have fine smile lines but you don't even notice them. AND I have a lovely JLo like glow errrrday!

8/7/2014 9:29:48 AM

Have any of you ladies ever done laser hair removal? If so, how did it go?

9/9/2014 12:33:57 PM

Not in durham, but Christine used to go to Generations Spa in Brier Creek.
