I agree about well trimmed/shaped eyebrows. With that done, you can get away with not wearing much make up and the face and eyes look well kept and bright. I always keep my eyebrows well groomed and shaped. I'm lucky, they're naturally nicely shaped and I just go in with the tweezers and clean them up once in awhile.

That and exfoliation!!!!

:)

I also heard that waxing is bad for the skin cells around your eyebrows -- the wax just doesnt remove unwanted hair, it also removes skin so over time, your eyes will lose elasticity and droop. Not so sure if that is the real explanation to it. Anyway Ive always had mine threaded but I have yet to find one who will do it beautifully here.

I personally think trimming/gromming one's eyebrows is the fastest, easiest way to brighten up one's face. It does get expensive as I have to do mine every month or two -- they just dont remove the unwanted hair, they shape the brows and trim the length of it too.

:lol:

The other weird thing (of many things), in the basement there is a bathtub that is on a platform about 3 feet high - for no particular reason - I just said 'I don't want to know'.

Oh and the 'super bathroom' (makes me laugh everytime I say that) - it is not the only bathroom, there is another toilet/sink off the kitchen. 900 sq ft, 1.5 baths and no real bedroom.

One can only imagine they had been watching too much 'flip this house' - while drinking. Hey Joe, we can do that!!

:lol: - there aren't pictures of this walk-through are there?!

Sears Canada makes good products. I've noticed that Sears in the US is completely different (sub-standard) so I can't comment on the products here. I did find a consumer report site, though: Link

Yes, but Honda products last forever!! My dad's original Honda lawnmower lasted for over 20 yrs, and it was til running great when he sold it, he just felt it was time for a new 1!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I always go for quality over price. I look at it this way. If I need to replace a cheaper product in a few years, or have to keep repairing it, how much have I really saved?
