Paraben free cosmetics

My favourite (organic) shampoo and conditioner contain parabens as does my favourite face moisturiser so I am on quest on finding new paraben free favourites. The shampoo I bought (Dr. Organics) is not great and the l'Occitane moisturiser I am just not big fan of. Any good recommendations of good paraben free cosmetics?

Stress Relief

With all the craziness of this time of year, I can't be the only one who's super stressed out right now. I don't usually get stressed around Christmas but there's lots of little things going on that I can normally shrug off but when they're all combined I have a hard time with it. And then I read online the effects of stress on an unborn baby and well.. that really stresses me out!

How do you handle stress? What are your "cures"?

Bah Humbug!

Christmas party tonight. I picked out my only suit out the closet and put on the pants this morning to make sure it still fits. It wasn't my suit to begin with so putting on the pants was a struggle given I had been fed pretty well this year. After a bit of sucking and panting I put the pants on and started admiring myself in the mirror.

Then I turned around to check out my ass in the mirror and saw some white fluff on the ass. I took it off and found that the moss had eaten my only suit pant.

Boobs

My boobs hurt.

Not just a little but a whole, whole lot. I've stopped sleeping on my stomach and whenever my bra comes of it's agony. It's just getting more painful daily.

I'm pretty sure I can't be pregnant. My monthlies are due in 2 weeks (just in time for NYE!!!) so I'm just waiting it out til then before the thought of stressing even enters my mind.

Any ideas what it could be? It's getting really damn annoying.

Ouch

I had some tooth filling done at the dentist this morning. After the work was done, receptionist tells me that my coverage has reached its limit and I have to pay $585 (546 US$). In the past I only paid 10% of the cost.
She usually tells me the day before how much it costs. She said she forgot. I know it's partly my fault for not asking. But I'm really mad. When I was in Japan my insurance covered the entire cost so I'm all new to this. I definitely have to watch out.

help from the medically inclined...

I am going nuts trying to remember the name of a condition that is sort of a skin thing, and creates itchiness and pain... but i believe it's really neurological disorder that affects the nerve endings... Its awful, and painful, and i want to find out what the symptoms are. I do know what it is, but my aging brain has filed it away somewhere and can't retrieve it! I want to look it up online!!

for some strange reason i keep thinkin 'scabies'... but i know it isn't scabies, because that is caused by a bug!!

HELP!

A certain British Bank can still haunt me after over 2 years at home.

I had nothing but trouble with a certain British Bank when we lived in the UK. This persisted when I came home and they froze my accounts because I had the audacity to try to withdraw money from my account after I had advised them that I was moving back to Australia. Then they insisted I had to go to my branch in London to collect my new card (yes, they knew I'd moved home to Australia). Then they sent me a new active credit card for no reason at all except they decided to change me from Ms to Mrs. Since then I have had irregular statements sent to me here in spite of my asking to only have online statements, but they recently dried up. I thought they might finally have managed to get their act together, but no.

I got a call from them telling me that my statements have been getting returned from my old address in Bristol (at which I have not lived for over 2 years) and asking what ... more »

socializing with colleagues

Do you do social stuff with colleagues outside of the office?
Do you invite colleagues to parties and other things you may organize?

I never really do, and neither is it normal to do so in my place of work, but I've decided to invite my immediate team and a few other colleagues to my housewarming in a few weeks. It's really fun and interesting to hear all the responses. Looks like I might even get a high turnout!

SNOW!!!

It's been snowing overnight! I had a little gurgle of excitement when I opened the curtains at half seven this morning.

I know most of you will beat my snow hands down, but it's MY snow and I love it!!!
