Hi everyone, do you know the cheaper and convenient way to get rid of stretchmarks or atleast improve the appearance.

demetermaid I have found that if I get some sun, or use a fake bake tanning lotion, it reduces the appearance of those blasted scars. For awhile, (when I had more money at my disposal) I used a cream call StriVectin. It softened the texture of the stretch marks and seemed...

What is your understanding of this quote?

redhotpogo @redhotpogo (4398) • United States 10 Jun 10

"No great man ever complains of want of opportunities" Ralph Waldo Emerson personally I think it sounds a bit snobbish, but I'll wait for your interpretations. Maybe I've misread it.

2 responses

demetermaid How does that sound snobbish to you, redhot? See, I take it to mean that if you are truly great, smart, gifted, driven - whichever word you choose to describe it - you don't wait around for an opportunity to arise to make something of yourself. Instead, you...

demetermaid When I'm down in a funk and there's nothing I want to do but get out of it, I force myself to listen to mainstream pop. Two evenings ago, my husband came home from work and found me singing and dancing around to Lady Gaga (and yes, that is extremely out of the...

Sleepless night

winjayoma @winjayoma (186) • Philippines 10 Jun 10

In life, there are nights that we can not sleep. Maybe because you have some problems in the family, job or whatever. How would you handle that night if you can not sleep?

demetermaid Clowns! I don't know why, but as far as I can remember - I've always been afraid of clowns. It's the only thing(s) that can cause me to go into fits of hysteria without notice. Every year my husband and I go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando, and...

demetermaid Depending on the look or intensity of color I'm going for, I have different methods. But I always use an eyelid primer, it makes the shadow stay put all day with no creases or migration down your lids. After the primer is set, I apply a basic color over my...

What would be the right choice?

Absinto @Absinto (2385) • Portugal 26 May 10

Imagine your daughter of 15 years old gets pregnant by a 17-18 year old boy. Do you think it is right for them to get married based on the fact that they are going to have a child?

demetermaid Ahh, no! That's an awful reason to get married! I got pregnant at 18 and married the man I was involved with. At that time, I felt that I was in love with him and we were going to live happily ever after. We divorced ONE YEAR later. So with that in mind, I'd...

demetermaid My motto is - if a company claims to be "honest", it probably isn't! I'm a member of a lot of different survey panels and I've never heard of them. I'd be wary, they might be a company that just wans to fill your inbox with junk. If you decide to join, let me...

demetermaid Every now and again, I find myself sing "The Futile" by Say Anything in the shower. My bathroom has excellent acoustics and it really makes my voice resonate. Plus it has a couple of cuss words, and getting to sing them out load is a great stress reducer.

How do you drink your coffee?

I usually drink my coffee black. I will sometimes get specialty coffees from Starbucks or other cafes, but most of the time I prefer it black. How about you?

demetermaid I like my coffee as I like my men - ground up and in the freezer. No, but seriously, I take my coffee black. Preferably from a French press. I think if you're drinking a good quality coffee that sweeteners and lighteners take away from the integrity of the...

demetermaid Strangely enough, when I'm happy I clean! When I'm over joyed for whatever reason, I always feel compelled to make my house as bright and sparkly as I feel. Also, when I'm down, I'm almost never motivated to any kind of domestic work.
