That was great advice from your nurse & ER doctor. I never would have thought about getting undressed in the garage, but it makes a lot of sense.

I've been using Dior Crème Apricot on my cuticles several times a day. I was going to recommend it, but… drat! It seems to be sold out absolutely everywhere.

I'm not going anywhere except for (extremely limited) trips to the grocery store, and walks by the bay. So I've moved myself into my little Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB tote for the duration. It's light, it's small, it can be carried crossbody, and it fits the very few things I need at the moment. Also, I don't at all mind scrubbing it down if it needs to be disinfected.

I have not gone anywhere but if I need to I prepared the little fossil bag my mom gave me for Christmas. I could wipe it down if it needed it.

We had a blast!



I want to try that Dior cuticle cream when it does come back in stock, my hands are awful with all the sanitizing and hand washing! i have been at home too except for Grocery store runs. I love that Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag!:love: One posting thing about this stay/shelter in place is all eye candy I get to see on here!

I use a handcream from Avon that is called moisture therapy. It is the only thing that works for me. As an artist my hands are always in water and it has really helped. I asked some of my friends that were Nurses what they thought was best and that is what they used.

...but unfortunately still gold... I´ve seen many pics of the very light champaigny gold hardware that were able to almost convice me it could pass as silver, but knowing myself: it can´t and the poor bag would only sit on the shelf as especially a crossbody with a chain has to be silver HW for me or it would clash with my silver jewellery and make me feel uncomfortable.

I 100% know what you mean. If I ever happen to see a silver hw Aigner bag, I'll think of you and let you know :)

I use the My Plate app by livestrong.com I put in my weight and a few other things and it tells me how many calories I can have per day. They have the calorie count for most things. It also has water, exercise and other things. I just find it is the easiest since I always have my phone on me.

I’ll check it out! :smile:

Love them all. Why do they call it "Trailer Trash"??? Something about the design?

Oh, and the boots are amazing.

It´s the name of the collection. The photos from the ads are quite graphic. I´d love to know the story Galliano spun for this collection, but unfortunately can´t find anything. The heroine definetely must have hit rock bottom in it! The design is very car related and I can very well picture the trailer park with the flashy, but run down Cadillacs.

Thank-you re the boots! I adore them, but struggle to wear them- cobblestones in our yard aren´t friendly to the spindly heels and driving with shoes that pointed is a bit of a challenge.

I´m currently using the Green Tea handcreme by The Body Shop and think this is the best product I ever used. I might be biased as it made me extremely happy to have the cream as a Christmas present from my daughter. She brought it from Tokyo!

I've been following this thread: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/2020-weight-loss-thread.1022294/
What has helped me recently is intermittent fasting. It is very helpful right now because I can't go out and buy specific foods for a diet, and I don't want to have to cook separate meals for me and DH. I don't eat breakfast. I start eating once I've prepared lunch, which is usually after noon, most often 1 or 2 PM. Then I stop eating before I take my evening bath, around 7 PM. I'm not really limiting what I eat during the hours I'm allowed to eat. I don't know why this works but it seems to. Sometimes I'll get into bed and realize I'm hungry but I ignore it. I never feel hungry in the morning when I get up as that is just the way I've always been. If you are used to eating breakfast, you might want to choose a different hour span for when you'll eat.

+1 on Intermittent Fasting.
For me, it is perfect. I've lost 43 pounds and kept them off, in spite of my love for french fries.
It's incredibly easy. I did read two books about it, they made so much sense that I thought 'Why am I not doing this?'. I told my doctor about it (he is also a personal friend), he read the books too… guess what he is doing now.
That said - i don't take any medications that would cause any problems. It might not be for everyone, but I think everyone would agree that as a whole we eat too much food in general, and not always the best kind of food.

Can I ask what books you read? I've been doing a version of intermittent fasting myself, and I really like it, but I would love to learn more!
