I am new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brenda, about nine years ago my husband and I sold our home and everything we owned, bought an RV and started traveling from state to state for his job. Two years ago, my husband got hurt at work, so we came back to IL bought a house about two months ago and are once again settling down. So now, I am making the house we bought a home and found that since I have no concept of color that I need some help. I decided to start in the bathroom since it is the smallest room (I believe the room is about 5X8) and would take the least amount of money. What I have done so far is paint the ugly countertop to look like granite and the painted the vanity brown. What I would like help with is how to bring this all together now. Suggestion are very welcome. Below is a picture of the before vanity & countertop. I am going to post more pictures, just don't know how to do it in one post. |

What is your budget? Random ideas: Rip out carpeting and put in an easy care durable floor. Carpeting in the bathroom is one of the worst ideas ever IMHO. My brother had carpeting and then a runner of plastic over it. In a tiny room all I could picture was rotting carpet/mold. I love floors I can sweep and clean quick with a sponge. Strip wallpaper, put beadboard below, trim and paint above, use an updated color and get towels/shower curtain to match. What type of light is there ? Update the wall light there are great websites where you can get reasonable lights(you don't necessarily need to buy from home destruction. Buy rustic/matchstick bamboo blinds for window and put a sheer white curtain behind them if you need privacy. |
Well heck, I thought I had a better shot of the bathroom on this computer. I will have to wait until later to add another picture. What I am trying to decide is what color to paint the wall. Right now it has bathroom type paneling with little pink flowers on it, at this point I don't have the funds to rip out the walls so paint is my only option. |

Oh how rude, I forgot to say WELCOME Brenda !!! You must tell us about your RV travels I am so not a morning person. I need more hot beverages... |

Oh that's panelling I thought it was paper. What are your favourite colours ? Blues/greens ? combination ? Yellow ? Let me know and I'll look through the BM paints... Another option is putting in a simple mdf rail trim and painting a light colour on the top and a darker on on bottom or different white tones are nice too since it's a small room. By the way the cabinet looks much nicer. |
This is the best picture I have of the bathroom at this time. The floor is linolium (sp),the shower curtain is teal/brown. My ideas are to paint the cabinet in front of the toilet a white not bright white but a white to pop against the brown's. The walls I was thinking Valspar Natural WV37001 from Lowe's. (And that is only because that is the paint chip I have in front of me at the present time.) for the window I was thinking about buying another shower curtain and using it to make a roman shade out of. I seen on the internet how to make a roman shade out of the blind that is already hanging there. Yes, Yes, my husband has told me once again that I am grounded from watching HGTV and playing on the internet. We have also been building beds as I am redoing the bathroom. Sure glad he really loves me. |
Eatrealfood, My budget is very very limited at this time. Right now I would just like to improve the looks of the bathroom. We hope to be able to totally gut the bathroom in the next year or two so I don't want to put a lot of money in it. |
EATREALFOOD, I'm rude myself this morning thank you for the welcome. I'm not a morning person either in fact I'm on my way to bed. I work midnights so it is time for me to say goodnight!! I welcome any and all ideas you have for me. |

can you post a close up of the counter top? It looks awesome - but my eyes are bad and i can't see it that well. What did you use on it? is it laminate? painting the walls an off white - and even the cab doors will really lighten it up - countering the dark shower curtain - and window shade if you use the same fabric/another curtain. I think that'd look great. how is the flooring? ok for now? maybe a new towel rod that you can reuse in the future redo. how are the light fixtures? new hardware on the cabinet? bring in some teal in towels? vase, wall hanging, soap dish/jar, rug for in front of the shower, etc. the painting of the print walls alone will make the world of difference - along with the change you did on the counter top and vanity. |
I would paint the cabinet brown to match your vanity. I think it will give a cohesive look to the room. Does the paneling have grooves in it so it will have some character once painted? Can you take a close up picture of your countertop? It looks great from here. What did you use on it and how well does it hold up to water? What are your goals for the room? Just appearance or something else? Have you considered taking off the medicine cabinet and putting up just a mirror? I agree with the teal towels and accents. I think that would look great. I think I'd probably paint the paneling a white that is close to the color of your tub surround/tile and toilet. This is just my personal preference but I don't like seeing white walls with off-white plumbing fixtures, or off-white walls with white fixtures. It goes against my OCD nature, lol. |
I hope this picture shows the top of my vanity. Yes it is laminate, I sanded it down and used apple barrel paint & polycrylic. As far as holding up to water I don't know yet I just got it done a few days ago. The flooring is in good shape and will work for now. I would love to put up a mirror and get rid of the medicine cabinet/ light bar but hubby says it has to stay. So, it will stay for now. (At least a week or two hehe) I think i'm just going to take the towel bar down over the stool, they put it on upside down to begin with. I might hang a picture or two up there if I can find something that will work. Do you think painting the cabinet in front of the toilet to match the vanity would make the bathroom to dark? The paneling is smooth with the white plastic filler strips. Think late 70's early 80's bathroom paneling. I remember this in my grandma's bathroom. |
What a great idea. I thought it was a cultured marble top. When we moved in this house, we had a cultured top in our bathroom and it was orange! I wish I had thought of painting it. I hope yours holds up, it looks nice. Yes, painting that cabinet brown might make your bathroom a bit dark. It's all personal preference. I just have this thing about visual clutter. As much as I like to see pictures of eclectic decor and unfitted (is that the right term) look, I like the harmony of single colors and styles. In the end, it's up to you and what look you are going for. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Tue, Nov 13, 12 at 23:53
gee marti and I was gonna switch and agree with you on painting the cabinet brown to match the other! tho, as I look at it again paint chips easier - maybe use one of those gel stains and stain it a darker brown to go with the vanity and the shower curtain (nice curtain). I'd do the window frame too. doesn't all have to be done now tho. space it out. do what bothers you the most first. and on the wall color marti - you're probably right on that also but i don't like white on much of anything. It's too stark for me - and dangerous around me. not on walls, not clothes. really not even tubs, toilets etc. But mine are that in 2 bathrooms and will stay that way. I found it won't kill me - lol! I'm still alive after 14 yrs with an avocado tub, toilet and sink - but just barely I think. The teal elsewhere will tie the room together and bring out the teal in the shower curtain. love the counter top. didn't realize you painted the sink too. post back after a month or so and let us know if it holds up ok on the counter. I might beg you to post how you did it so I can do mine! btw, I found 2 nice over the mirror fixtures at lowes for about 30.00 each for my bathrooms. 1 had 3 globes/bulbs and the other 2. It doesn't take much to change them out. Just flip the breaker and then you need to be really really tall and have long arms - or a ladder. or both. Not that I'll be doing my own. |
I have decided on the color of paint for my bathroom. I am going to replace the trim along the floor and paint it Benjamin Moore Dove White the window trim and tall cabinet will also be painted the same color, the walls will be painted Butte Rock AC-8. I would like to hang some pictures on the wall above the toilet after removing the towel rod. I was wondering if any of the below pictures would fit with the decor? |
Hi, Brenda! Welcome! I don't come over here much, but hang out in Kitchens. Congratulations on the new home. I am following your bathroom here, and love what you have done with the counter and cabinet so far. I really like those daisy prints! One of those would be gorgeous over the toilet. I cannot tell which one would look best. Can you get all three and take the two losers back? Nancy |
Hi Brenda, I don't post on here much, but welcome and congrats on taking your bathroom in a new direction! I wanted to add that I have done the low-budget bathroom reno a few times and it always makes me happy! Sure, a gut reno would be great, but why look at walls, floor, and vanity you dislike for several years why you save up? I've painted paneling quite a few times at this point in my homeowner life and I've always been happy with the results. Just prime the heck out of it. :) Good luck and post back "after" pictures! |

Welcome, Brenda I really like what you did with the vanity and the sink; you are very talented. I am very fond of teal. Another option would be pink if you gt the pink daisy print, but some people hate pink. One old suggestion for decorating is to look at your closet. After ignoring any black clothes, see which colors you have the most of; those are the colors you may be most comfortable with. |

There was yet another first-ever moment this week in the history of the death penalty in Ohio. The day before 40-year-old Ronald Phillips was set to be the first person ever to receive a new two-drug lethal injection, Gov. John Kasich delayed his execution to study the feasibility of allowing Phillips to donate his organs. Officials say 1,150 Ohioans successfully picked health insurance plans last month through the new online marketplace run by the federal government. And a final honor this week for a former Congressman and Ohio Senate President.
In the arguments for Medicaid expansion before the Controlling Board, it was said that the state could save $400 million. And there are several ideas on how to spend those projected savings. Sen. Chris Widener (R-Springfield) was one of the Republican lawmakers on the Controlling Board who voted for expansion, and he says that money should be returned to the taxpayers in the form of an income tax cut. And there are two House legislators – a Democrat and a Republican – who support sending the money back to Ohio communities via the local government fund, which is half the size it was when Gov. John Kasich took office. Rep. Ron Gerberry is a Democrat of Youngstown and Rep. Terry Boose is a Republican of Norwalk.

Our cat started making a funny meow(She's only 3 years old, we have had for only about 3.5 months from the SPCA). She's normally very active and constantly talking to us and was eating a lot and gaining weight when all of a sudden she stopped eating and drinking. We took her to the vet. Had bloodwork done. Nothing was out of the ordinary besides the fact she was dehydrated. Since they didn't know what was wrong with her we decided not to pay $500 to have her stay overnight and get an IV for fluids(We did this with our last cat only 8 months ago and ended up having to put her down a day later because the vet had no idea what was wrong with her and still decided to advocate the fluid rehydration and this made us feel ripped off, sad, and angry). Cat quickly started going downhill. Didn't eat or drink for two days, started hiding, lost a lot of weight. We finally read about PediaLyte. We started forcing 20ml(CC) into her every hour. Within 2 hours she changed. After 4 hours she began eating food and running around the house and meowing. Back to normal. Except she won't drink water on her own. And she won't eat and starts to lose weight, get larthagic, and hide and sleep if we don't force Pedialyte into her. Whenever we do give her PediaLyte she comes literally back to normal. With PediaLyte she eats over half a can of catfood and also crunchies, goes to the bathroom normal and has tons of energy. Without it she literally starts to die. So confusing. I think she has an upper respiratory problem. Her eyes are red, her voice changed and she purrs strangely through her lungs like she's got an infection. Were skeptical to go back to a vet as we've gone to two different ones for two different cats with a similar problem and all they could do was advocate taking our money without getting results. Has anyone heard of a cat becoming fully healed from Pedialyte(rehydration) only to completely backslide without it? Thanks for reading! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You really need to find a vet you're willing to work with. The other symptoms concern me and she needs more tests run. I think the pedialyte is just giving her a boost, yet she's slowly getting worse. Did the previous vet not comment on her lungs or did he even give her a thorough physical? Do you have a 'cat only' clinic in your area? If not, ask friends or call the SPCA for vet references. I know how frustrating some vets can be.....I went to one that never touched my cat and would point at her with a pen. Needless to say, I never went back to him! But, there are good ones out there........so keep searching. |
When a cat is lethargic, refuses to eat, and hides, it is really sick. Some of those symptoms sound like an upper respiratory infection, and for that she needs a course of antibiotics and probably a shot of prednisolone. Find another vet clinic as soon as possible and get her there asap; without treatment she may die. |
What kind of water? Tap water? Hard or soft? My last dog preferred four day old yellowing rain water over fresh cool tap water. And my tap water is considered good -- no taste to humans, not hard. Maybe the flouride taste was a factor. Maybe chlorine or chloramines residuals. |
any lab work done? What was your cat's blood sugar? Electrolytes? Not heard of a cat with Addisons, but that should be on your list of possible diagnoses. If there have been no diagnostics done you, you definitely need to get that done... otherwise it's just a lot of guess work. Sure is an odd presentation, though. |
Are the foods/treats you're giving your cat GRAIN-FREE? It seems that so many issues can be resolved by simply eliminating grain from the feline diet!! |

Has anyone had luck keeping rummynose with bettas? My pH is about 7.8 to 8.0 and I know that's a little high for rummynose tetras... anyone kept them successfully with a pH this high? I have a 10 gallon with some live plants and right now there are guppies in there, mainly for my daughter. I used to have 9 tanks, mostly species tanks, until I had my first child then I had to seriously downsize! I've always loved bettas, but the guppies will tear them up, so I'm looking to eventually get rid of the guppies and go with a friendly tetra and a betta. Just looking for thoughts! |

Getting rid of Guppies?! Gulp! Sorry... I love my Guppies! Anyhoo, Rummynose (tetra or rasbora) come from a soft and acid environment, but can be acclimated somewhat. When I worked at a wholsealer we started them off with soft and acid and got them acclimated to ~7.4pH, which was what the tap water was. They are a touchy fish. Not the best choice for Bettas, but if you can get conditions gradually, with hiding places, it's possible. I'd keep the Guppies and add a few more plants! |
Glad you posted this thread. I bought 3 rummy nose tetras and had them in the bag floating in the tank. It's been about an hour and I totally forgot them till I read this. I think there pretty adaptable and should do ok if water parameters are good. |
Well, I might give it a try... I'm always looking for a challenge, which is why I'd like to get rid of the guppies... by which I mean, donate them to a friends tank who has quite a bit of experience! lol Last time I added some live plants I had a guppy explosion! At the time, I had turtles and used them as food (they weren't fancytails, they were a feeder guppy but after several generations of breeding they were actually quite pretty. Anyway, no more turtles, so that won't be an issue! A 10 gallon limits me... I could pull out my 25gallon tall or my 30 gallon, but my husband won't let me get the 55, 50, or 80 going. I can't blame him... we've got a baby on the way and they take some maintenance. Well, thanks for everyones thoughts........ |

I can't answer the question about rummynose tetras.... But if you are looking for tetras to keep with a betta - my pH settles to about 7.5 (comes out of the tap at 8+) and I've successfully kept lemon tetras and glolite tetras with bettas for years. What is the water hardness? Here, our hardness is very low (New England water is naturally soft and acidic) but the water company adds sodium carbonate to raise the pH, which is why it's 7.5. I think the hardness may be more important than just pH. |
fgilles - thanks for the info... I actually have two lemon tetras in there right now with my guppies and although I was pretty sure it was my guppies that were nipping the last betta we kept, I couldn't rule out the lemon tetras. I have also kept glowlight tetras in the past and may look at that again as an option. Thanks! |

We just recently re-launched our website for our QR code campaign management and point-&-click mobile web page generator.
linkblots - Mobile Website, QR Code & Mobile Video Creation, Management, Delivery
I would love some feedback not only on the website, but also the UI for the management tool - it is free to sign up and use.
With regard to QR codes we feel it is very important to keep some basic best practices in mind when deploying QR code mobile campaigns. It is important to me to know the site is communicating this message loudly and clearly.
We would also love some feedback on the front end for the signup process.
Thanks in advance for your reviews.
looks good, you might think about adding nice logo and change fonts type. Just suggestion!
@MusicBox - yes, we have that option in the works.
Calvert Design,
The design of this website is average. The process that you describe in the front page, communicates how easy you can make the process of creating a mobile website, using and tracking marketing campaigns through QR codes.
I believe you do not need a fancy or busy design for this website. However, the fact that you are marketing to mobile internet users and QR code users, which "I" associate to younger generations, I believe your design lacks... mmm... shine for lack of a better word.
It would be difficult and tie consuming for me to describe what would give spark to your design. I guess some examples would be better:
www_boostmobile_com this example, which target mobile users, uses a lively and fun front page. Not much to crawl downward
www_tweetdeck_com this other example appears fun and enticing too. for the mobile market that is.
I want to note that the dark colors of these sites is not what appeals to me, but rather their layout and fun graphics.
Only my honest opinion.
The site looks good, very good. It is clean and simple.I might suggest that you make the site logo, with the QR code, larger. It would be nice for a user who didn't know anything about the site to see a QR code right there when they stumble onto the page.
Also, your bullet list
Point-and-Click Mobile Web Pages QR Code Campaign Management Hosted mobile video and photo slideshows WITH mobile transcoding Dynamic ad insertion
could be styled differently, to look less like a list, and more like advertising points. Think a yellow box with jagged corners to really draw attention to your main points about what your site can do.
A few things I think need changing:- the iphone graphics show on my screen (ie8/winxp) with just the edge of someones fingers, not sure if this is as intended but either way I think you would be better off with just the iphone without the hand- your feature list is too long, just pick out the 3-5 key problems it solves for your customers rather than the features- I would try and get your plans down to be in the 3-5 range, with 6 it just feels a little too much- I would re do the how it works section design as the balance doesn't feel right. The numbers are a little too big and the screenshots don't really communicate anything
My observation for the website are :
1) The header does not look very attractive and the links placed in the header can be more styled.2) The Contact Us page has way too much data than what should be present and it seems to be cluttering the relevance of that page3) The data regarding press and features seems to have been duplicated on all the pages in entirety which is not really required. You can atleast divide that data in parts and give a link like "more" or "see all"4)The footer seems to be almost empty.5)Also the footer is not consistent on all the pages6) The sign in page seems completely out of place7) The logo in the header should be clickable and should point to the homepage
The good:
The design is easy to navigateI like the steps
The Can be Improved:
The logo somehow doesn't match I feelThere is something about the bright teal color and the middle dark colors of the site that bother my eyes (like it doesn't flow somehow) Maybe its that red color that isn't working with the whole color palette
Just those things which are pretty minor to fix, all in all its pretty good though. Good luck
Here's my take
The Good:
I like the colors and the layout
The video is a good feature
The steps are great
The Bad:
On the front page, what I would consider the main content has a white background. If you go to other pages, the entire background is grey. I would change them to be white
I agree with @blazzar, the graphic of the fingers holding the phone would be better if more of the fingers are shown
I agree with @pradeep_ddit, the sign-in page is out of place. Even if the site is a billboard for the back end structure, that should be fixed.
Action Items
Change the rest of the pages to have white backgrounds or the front page to have an all grey background
Divide the example page into a few separate images for quicker loading
If possible, link to the pages that mention your service in the testimonials so people can read for themselves
Hope this helps
QR codes help you get information about exhibitors and also profile information of all the attendees or speakers of your event. What users can do is to capture the QR codes on their cell phones and they will be immediately taken to the concerned website or websites for more information about events. One can also identify his current location and get directions towards the venue of the event he wants to attend using QR codes.
Change the font of the logo--it doesn't match the website. Also get rid of the 90s blue hyper link default color and go for maybe an orange or a matching shade of blue. The Footer also is too bright, I'd go for a darker gray at the bottom.
The tables page in plans and pricing is also very plain. I'd add some graphics with gradients in it to balance it out with the rest of the website.

CHANDIGARH: Farmers' unions and green activists have strongly opposed the ongoing field trials of genetically modified Bt maize in Haryana, demanding immediate suspension of such trials.
Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) on Wednesday threatened to launch a state-wide agitation against the move, claiming that many states, including Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, have already denied permission for such trials.
"We may even destroy such crops," announced Gurnam Singh, state president of BKU, adding that this is just an attempt of multinational companies to control Indian crops and agricultural operations through the genetically modified seeds and patents.
According to BKU, at least six ongoing GM field trials are being conducted by various multinational seed companies at various agricultural research stations under the aegis of Choudhary Charan Singh Agriculture University, Hisar. University vice-chancellor K S Khokhar said the trials are being conducted with due permission from the state government.
Explaining the reasons for their opposition, Greenpeace India activist Neha Saigal said, "Open field trials can lead to contamination of regular crops. Thus, hurriedly and tactly conducted GM maize field trials may end up in obliterating the traditionally tested seed varieties."
Saigal said ever since BT brinjal was put under a moratorium, the GM seed producers, marketing companies and their supporters in the state and Central government have intensified efforts to get GM crops introduced in India through such backdoor methods.
Khokhar said the seeds produced by many such companies are under field trials. "We will send the results of trials to the Union ministry of environment for further action.... GM crops are not a bad idea. By and large scientists are in favour of these crops. In a few countries, these crops were introduced even 30 year ago," he said.
There may be various reasons for opposition to such trials, including ignorance on the part of protesting farmers.

W Istanbul
Istanbul, 34357, Turkey
The W doesn't have staff, it has insiders (that's really the title on their business cards). Flanked by designer boutiques and minutes away from the Dolmabahçe Palace, the W's décor—aquamarine lighting, gleaming chrome, slick surfaces—is equal parts neo-Ottoman and neo–Stanley Kubrick. (Think Sultan Mehmet V: A Space Odyssey.) Almost all the 134 units (in categories ranging from Wonderful Rooms to Extreme Wow Suites) come with private patio cabanas or landscaped terraces; all sport pillow-top beds, high-tech gadgetry, and baths furnished with Bliss toiletries. The W Lounge is a bit heavy on the self-consciously hip trance music, but its mojitos are the best in the city; Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Spice Market restaurant is justifiably popular.
Room to Book: In summer, a Spectacular Room with a cabana for private sunbathing; in winter, a Fabulous Room with a skylight and terrace.
Insider Tip:
Want to bring your pets? Not only are they welcome—cats get special W litter boxes, and dogs get walked by the staff (sorry, insiders).

I'm just writing here to see if anyone knows where I can purchase Ambre Bronze Lip Tint Balm in Rose Nectar in the United Kingdom? I used this product for years as I loved it but can not seem to buy it anywhere now. It could have been discontinued and if so, does anyone know of a similar shade to this that I could buy?
The quality is good, but the color isn't for pigmented lips. I'm pale with reddish-pigmented lips and they disappeared! It's definitely one of those nude shades only certain women can wear.
Estee Lauder LipTint Balm with SPF 15. Beautiful peachy bronze shade with shimmer. So natural!
EDIT: I'm lowering the rating to one lippie. I guess, this product has a very short shelf life. For some weird reason, it makes me vomit (excuse my French, ladies!) almost immediately after application, which is an extremely unusual reaction. This happened several times over the past two years and each time I applied this product a few minutes before. If you experience any tummy discomfort with it, I'd suggest you throw this balm away in one year after purchasing and wouldn't keep it for over two years like I did. It does have an unpleasant smell but it always did.
This is my 2nd Amber Bronze Lip Balm (I also have Berry), and I just love them. It goes on smooth and is moisturizing and silky. Rose Nectar is beige with a blushy pink undertone. I am currently self-tanning my face, and it really looks great! The color is suble, but that is the look I want in the summer when it is 9o degrees outside, and I am wearing hardly any other makeup. I also like the fact that it has SPF and that the finish is more matte than shiney. I took 1 lippie off because the color doesn't last very long. The tube is really pretty though, so I don't mind too much having to pull it out to re-apply!
I saw this product recommended in InStyle as a good lipstick for a fair-skinned person, so I bought it. I'm a little torn on how to review it. First of all, although this product was recommended by the magazine as a lipstick, I noticed when I bought it that it was a tinted balm. That was OK with me; lots of tinted balms (Prada, for one) have a similar texture and staying power to a good lipstick. This, unfortunately, is one that doesn't. It goes on very sheer and will be completely gone within an hour and a half if you eat or drink anything at all (which, chances are, I will; I almost always have a glass of something sitting beside me during the day.) And for a "balm," it's really not particularly moisturizing. The texture is similar to a MAC Lustre lipstick -- it *feels* glossy and moisturizing going on, but two hours later, your lips are dry.
However, the one reason I think I might keep this is the color. This is a very light peachy nude on cool-toned PPP me, and is the perfect color to wear by the beach or pool, or when my eyes are done and I want *something* on my lips, but don't really want them to be making any kind of a statement. So it might stay in my makeup bag for those occasions. But it's really not suited to everyday office wear. continued >>
I actually like the scent--it reminds me a little of Fresh's Sugar lip balm, sorta sugary and lemony. I didn't notice a taste. The color is a really pretty, cool-toned, glowy light pink with no visible shimmer. The texture is thinner and slicker than I'd prefer, but it stays on my lips for a fair amount of time (maybe an hour, maximum) and keeps them soft and smooth. The packaging is cute, but kinda clunky and the stick of product is not very secure inside the tube--it seems liable to break off at any moment. I'm not entirely sure whether I'd get another one of Rose Nectar as it's a bit too blue-ish for my taste; I think I'll try to get my hands on the Caramel one.
More reviews by PlatinumBlondePunk
I love this.It's a pretty shade for the nude lip look.A very light pinky beige nude color with a little bit of sheen.The SPF 15 is a great addition.Looks gorgeous when you do the whole tan/bronzer/beach goddess look and use these balms.Great creme brulee smell and taste.
Amber Bronze Lip Tint Balm is not moisturizing; it's just the opposite, very drying. Rose Nectar is a pretty nudish pink. The color does not show up very much but it is a tinted lip balm. The odor and taste is absolutely disgusting. I tossed this baby.
These lip tint balms are amazing!! They smell so good, feel so good and look so good! Rose Nectar is a very sheer nude pink which might be a little too light on me.. I love how it has SPF 15 in it and avocado and vitamin E oils in it! It protects and soothes your lips, which is always a good thing.. A little pricey ($16 USD) but well worth the price! This is the closest thing to lipstick that I will ever wear!!

The Hard Shell Restaurant Review: Seafood is the name of the game here, and you'll get plenty of creative cooking for your well-spent dollar. Be sure to check out the daily specials before tackling the dinner menu, but we recommend the flash-fried calamari or the pan-roasted mussels to start, followed by the chunky lobster chowder and that most diplomatic of entrées --- surf 'n' turf (six-ounce filet mignon and six-ounce lobster tail). Devout meat-eaters can go for the baby-back ribs, lacquered with a bourbon chipotle glaze. At lunch look for New England lobster rolls, panini (such as turkey and Gouda or vegetarian) and burgers along with entrées. Brunches are celebratory occasions featuring lump crab omelets, huevos rancheros, hot cakes topped with powdered sugar and fresh whipped cream, and main courses such as pan-seared salmon. Stop in between lunch and dinner for light fare and, as you might infer from the name, a raw bar. There's a sequel Shell, nearly the same but larger, at Belgrade in Midlothian. |

Inspiring Exercise Display
It was many years ago that I began sharing inspirational stories to this blog. Many people visit the site for that reason alone. They stop by for a quick dose of inspiration whenever a pick-me-up is needed. As a result, I am often asked what is my favorite story. And while it's virtually impossible to single out a favorite, I won't hesitate to nominate the following video as a contender.
What you will see within is an 81 year old man (Fedor Aleksejevich Hasjanov) who performs at a level that most healthy adults could only dream of achieving. The strength, flexibility, and athleticism that Fedor displays is mind-boggling. When I first watched the video, I almost didn't think it was real. I was waiting for a younger man to pull off his mask.
Fortunately, it is real and Fedor Aleksejevich Hasjanov is a true inspiration. His display is also a reminder that it is possible to perform at a high level with minimal equipment. The bulk of his routine could be performed almost anywhere. He certainly does not need a state of the art facility to maintain health and fitness.
What a breath of fresh air it is to see an 81 year old perform at this level with nothing but a few bars and a kettlebell. It is this type of story that deserves to go viral. The rest of the world needs to be clued in on the fact that it is possible to get in shape with little or nothing.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that fitness would become such an overpriced hustle. Meanwhile, there are senior citizens in the Ukraine who must laugh at the infomercial products that bring in millions of dollars each year. Call it a hunch, but I'm guessing Fedor didn't need any bogus tools, a weekend certification, or the latest supplement stack to achieve what he has. Instead, it appears that he works hard with the basics and is clearly a product of consistency. He prioritizes his training and has done so for years. There is no 30 day program that is going to produce this type of result.
It all boils down to hard work and consistency. Unfortunately, you won't find those ingredients at the supplement store. You need to make your own.
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity. – Plato

That is a great video. This remains one of the most positive fitness sites I visit. One thing I noticed is how happy Fedor looks.. clearly he enjoys what he is doing.
Samer Ibrahim January 11th, 2014 7:38 pm
Funny you say you were waiting for him to rip off a mask. Same thing was going through my mind. I hope one day I get close to that guys strength and flexiblity.
Terry January 12th, 2014 2:35 am
I think he is 21′ but he just looks old! wow, I'm ashamed of myself, and I train. This is how I want to be when I am older.
Alf January 12th, 2014 3:32 am
This is really inspirational, thanks for sharing Ross!
pgg January 12th, 2014 7:13 am
This is great, I tripped onto this site a few weeks ago and I love your posts…inspirational and honest!
I have seen a strong 60 year old go to waste because he stopped all activities when he retired at 60 and now at 80 he has a hard time walking…my goal is to stay motivated enough to do like Fedor and enjoy my strength training in the hopes to be 1/2 as strong as he looks. -
Eric January 12th, 2014 9:54 am
DAMN IT JIM!!! AWESOME DISPLAY!!! Much, much, much, more impressive than the 80 year old martial artist performing half-pushups. All of the reps were clean and crisp and performed with relative ease. Also, these were ADVANCED forms of calisthenics instead of a simple pushup. This display of fitness would have been impressive for a man 50 years younger, much less a man of 81. I am EXTREMELY impressed by Fedor and can think of only someone like the late Jack LaLanne could perform feats like this at that age.
will January 16th, 2014 6:27 am
I love how all the younger guys in the background are doing the bench press and thats about it.
Robert January 20th, 2014 11:53 am
He is 81 and to say he is still going strong would be a major understatement! This kind of example goes against much that we are conditioned to believe. With this kind of attitude and dedication wonderful things are possible. I don't know if this video has gone viral yet but it needs to. Thanks for sharing this.
Al January 25th, 2014 6:43 pm
This guy is a warrior. I bet he was top notch like Ross when he was younger. Anyway you look at it he has discipline, heart, and capability that we can all be motivated by and learn from.
Rommel Julian September 25th, 2014 8:09 am
So much love for you and this site Ross. Been a reader for years. Love your outlook on fitness and your spotlight on these kinds of stories. Gives me motivation to keep going and not let things like lack of money or equipment get in my way.

Have you managed to pick up a copy of the title yet? If not, you should. In our Rayman Origins review we described Ubisoft's platformer as "a genuinely wonderful game".

So I played some games today against Jedi Control w/Han and got crushed pretty badly in about half my games. In the games I won, I was one turn ahead (i.e. if the LS had another turn they would have won those as well).
The question is, what is fast / consistent enough to get ahead of the Jedi control engine? I mean, at one point in one game, Yoda had 3 enhancements on him (lightsabers included) and just could not be stopped.
If there is not a deck that beats it, what slows it down? My thoughts are that Sith Control basically draws games against it, but with threepio and Counterstroke the DS events seem to have limited usefullness.

Good Morning,
I'm sorry to hear that you've had issues with your suitcase. We operate a 5 year guarantee on all of our products which covers all manufacturing faults but does not cover general wear and tear or damage sustained in transit eg by baggage handlers.
We do not provide spare parts for any of our suitcases however if you purchased the item in a Debenhams store, we would directly arrange an inspection in your nearest Debenhams store so we can ascertain if your item is covered under the guarantee.
If you could please contact us and we will be able to assist you with this.

I also have the same issue.
Seems like it could be a Design fault? The self tapping screw into a plastic part isnt up to the job.
What is your advice to customers, to scrap a £50 plus case because you cant supply a spare plastic part costing a few pence?
Written on: 09/10/2014
Thank you for your comments.
If you could please contact us with your order details if you placed your order online, if in store then please send a copy of your receipt if you still have it. If you don't have your receipt if you could let us know the PO number (written on a label attached to the lining of the suitcase). This will tell me what range the item was from and I will be able to check if there have been any recurring issues with that particular product.
As stated above our guarantee will cover any manufacturing faults and we will replace the case for you. Please get in contact with us and we will arrange this for you.
We are unfortunately unable to provide spare parts due to the number of ranges we sell, all of varying sizes and colours meaning that there would be hundreds of componant parts we would need to have available at all times. Our ranges also change very regularly so it is not feasible to have all spare parts available for all products at all times as our products are also manufactured overseas. Some componant parts are removable whereas on some ranges you cannot remove the wheels/handles without damaging the case. If not fitted correctly this could also invalidate the guarantee.
I do appreciate your frustration and I will of course pass your feedback on. In place of this service, we do offer a guarantee to replace the item in case of any manufacturing defect.
Please email us and we will do what we can to help.
Kind Regards

Thank you for your comments.
If you could get in touch with us with information about your product we will do what we can to assist you.
If your item was ordered online, please include your order number or delivery postcode. If your product was ordered in store then please send us an image of your receipt and also state the PO number (located on a label attached to the lining of the suitcase). I can then see what range the product is from in case there are any issues.
If you are able to, send us a photograph of the issue as well.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

I also have the same problem. I used my case for the first time and on the return trip when checking in at the airport both the top and side handles came away from the case.
I purchased my case at a Debenhams store but don't have my receipt - can I still obtain a replacement?
Written on: 23/10/2014
Thank you for your message.
Could you please email us with your details and we will ask your nearest Debenhams store to call you to invite you in for an inspection.
Our 5 year guarantee covers all faults in the manufacturing process so once we have confirmed the faults are covered under our guarantee we can get this exchanged for you. We do not need the receipt, we can tell if the case is within 5 years from the batch number which is written on a label attached to the lining.
We look forward to hearing from you so we can get this resolved quickly and offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry that the broken wheel was not covered under our 5 year manufacturing guarantee. We do not cover damage caused by the airline or general wear and tear. We do cover any manufacturing fault so if there is a departure from the original design specifications and the case didn't turn out as it was intended to, we will replace it. We do try and be as flexible as possible as it can depend how often the case has been used as to whether damage is excessive wear and tear for example.
If an airline damages your suitcase, they do have procedures in place to ensure that you can claim from them who will either reimburse you or replace your suitcase.
Due to the wide range of collections we stock, which change regularly, we are unable to hold spare parts for our collections.
I'm sincerely sorry that we were not able to assist you on this occasion.

I believe the suitcases that you have now and have had in the past are our Express print collection. These have always been an extremely popular collection and to my knowledge we have had no recurring issues with them wearing on the bottom. I know that the range we stock now does have a bar across the bottom to protect it.
We would be happy to arrange an inspection for you in store or if you could email us some images of your suitcase we would be willing to review them for you.
Under the terms of our 5 year guarantee, if there is a manufacturing issue with the suitcase we will of course replace it for you.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your Tripp suitcase.
I'm sorry to hear that we were not able to help you with regards the crack in your suitcase.
Our 5 year manufacturing guarantee covers any defect in the manufacture of the case but it does not cover normal wear and tear and damage sustained in transit. Usually a crack in a suitcase does unfortunately occur due to external forces as all of our suitcases are extensively tested to ensure that they will withstand the rigours of travel. The Lite suitcase came first when tested by the Gadget Show in a series of durability tests proving that it would need to be blow of enormous force to cause a crack to appear in the suitcase.
I have not seen images of the suitcase myself and so I would of course be willing to review them if you could forward them to me by email.
I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

Good Morning,
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry that we were not able to replace your suitcase for you. We are confident in the durability in this particular suitcase and after viewing images of your suitcase we did come to the decision that unfortunately this was transit damage and not a manufacturing fault of the case which is what our guarantee covers.
Unfortunately none of us know what caused the crack in your case and it is possible that it was crushed under something, perhaps other suitcases but we do not know for sure. As you mention, the Gadget Show did test our suitcases extensively showing that whatever caused the crack, it must have been a huge blow for it to have sustained this damage.
The airlines do have in place a claims procedure for any damaged luggage and we are always happy to provide information to assist with your claim.
I am sincerely sorry that we were not able to help you any further with your claim.

Good Morning,
Thank you for your review regarding the wheels on your suitcase.
We fully appreciate your frustration with regards to the wheels on our products. As with any product with moveable parts especially something like a wheel that is in contact with rough surfaces, they will eventually wear in time.
Unfortunately our suitcases do not come apart so that you can replace any of the componant parts, we believe that this makes them stronger.
Our wheels do vary on every product as we do a wide range of different styles of suitcase. Some are made of more premium materials and this is reflected in the price meaning that the wheels do have to be adjusted to ensure that the design of every suitcase is as good as it can be.
I appreciate your comments and I have already passed your feedback onto our product team from when we spoke initially.
Please let me know if there's anything further we can do to help.
Kind Regards

I also have a case that was used once from brand new and the wheel carrier has broken off completely.It now doesnt roll along and if I could get a spare it would be fine.
So perfect suitcase now unusable seems such a waste for the want of a spare part.

We're sorry that your wheel came off your Ultra Glide suitcase purchased in 2009. Unfortunately on this occasion from the initial inspection of the photo you sent to us, we were unable to confirm that this was a manufacturing fault and so would require the case to be looked at in person by one of our expert Tripp members of staff in store.
Our 5 year guarantee covers defects in the manufacture of the case but does not cover a normal amount of wear and tear or transit damage.
As we are a UK company, at the moment we are currently only able to ship orders to the UK, Ireland, Denmark and Germany and we only have stores in the UK, Germany and Ireland in which to arrange an inspection for you.
I appreciate your frustration and we would be happy to inspect the case further in one of our stores.
