I'm a lurker...

21 years ago

and I know that you have lots of answers here!!! I am looking for a really good concealer that doesn't look like I painted my face with a skin colored grease pencil!! I am just getting over a really bad staph infection and I have a number of spots on my face that the doctor thinks will probably never fade. I just need something that I can blend over them and hide them a bit.

Sincere thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Jaybird! I'm sorry - I've never come across a concealer that looked good either. But I don't agree with your doc that the spots won't fade. Spots do fade in general, and you can help them along with a good fading cream.

Estee Lauder WhiteLights FX line is good - pricey but each item lasts a long time. I like the night cream.

Mixed up my first batch this past weekend and planted a couple of containers of herbs. It not only looks wonderful, but after just a couple of days they look really happy! I have to admit, I didn't let it sit for the lime to get working, I only gave it an hour or so and couldn't wait!!! I'm so happy to have gotten the goodies and can't wait to have a few minutes to crank out some more and get planting!

How often are you watering?

I've been watering every other day to every day. It depends a lot on whether I actually SEE my poor plants screaming. Definitely getting more soaker hoses for next year... This watering by hand is for the birds! I've only got two areas that I'm still using sprinklers on-my pond area, because it's set up to drain toward the thirstiest plants: Louisiana Irises and azaleas, and my butterfly garden, just because it's so densely planted that it's nearly impossible to tell if I get all of the flowers well enough. I've got two soakers- one for my roses and a few vegetables, and another for along the front walk where my impatiens and hostas live. The rest is getting watered with a wand attached to a hose. When I actually drag myself out into the heat, I spend about 3 hours a day pulling hose around my house and another 4-5 hours running sprinklers and soakers. My plants are fine. It's the dead grass on the outside of the beds that's killing me. DH absolutely refuses to let me water that too though.

help, holes in my lawn pics
Q

Bad news here, the creature or creatures are back. They dug up new holes last night & I'm so fed up with this. The thing thats bothering me the most is that my four year old goes outside and runs around and falls in those darn holes. I made a call to base housing they stated they would add the repelant (coyote urine) & look into placing a mesh on the gate (if they show up with some cheap mesh I'm going to lose it). debndal, I thought the same thing this morning. When we lifted part of the grass we saw about 3 grubs I'm having him treat it today. I also noticed a brown patch on the lawn that has suddenly started to get worse since I first posted here. Ugh, I never had these problems before with the lawn. Oh we also use Miracle-GroÂ® Water Soluble Lawn Food. I'm starting to wonder if this could also be the problem. We follow the directions to the T.

Thanks to all who posted. Looks like I need to clean up the floor plan to facilitate your review and feed back. Please hold your comments until the plan is easier to read. bigkahuna, I agree about the island. I was considering reducing the size of the slider in the kitchen from 8' to 6' to give me 2' more room for my countertop, and to allow me to then add another 2' to the island. The Mbth size looks like it's big enough that I should be able to fit everything I need, as long as I get the layout right. I mean, it's not cavernous, but it's not tiny, either. Thanks again!

I am getting over a staph infection on my face too. (impetigo) I absolutely LOVE Bare Minerals Bisque. It is a powder concealor that you apply with a brush and it hides everything!
Good luck

Hi there! I use Mary Kay concealer in the yellow color. It comes in a little tube and really works. Glad you're better!
