Does Perfume Have an Expiration Date? —powered by eHow.com

I thought that generally colognes became rancid with age. I have a very expensive parfume that was rancid after one year! So I was very surprised when my Jovan Island Gardenia was even better after a year and a half! I have always been a fragrance "junkie". My grandmothers name was "Kuka" which means "flower essence" to the Yaqui. The simple things in life can bring so much pleasure, like the smell of a flower (or even wearing one in your hair!)

These dying techniques are so easy and what a great way to reuse products that some may just throw away with such beautiful results! You could even mix the different effects in a garment!

Who made these sunglasses?

Usually I am pretty good at product identification but this is the cake...I haven's a clue. This is Fiona from Burn Notice TV series.

These patterns are the best patterns to start sewing with and if you don't have much time a great way to get the benefits of sewing (some of what is therapy for seasoned sewers) not to mention something new to wear.
I also purchased the book because this couple looks like they are having a lot of FUN and that is what sewing should also be! NOTE: Ladies, notice how the young lady on the cover is using her measuring tape, most sewing tools are dual purpose ;)

The best Jewerly Ever

I have been having some pretty bad luck with ebay lately and then I found this little Gem! I was searching for a Maltese Cross and ordered several. The best quality one was the least expensive and from the above store! It was $5.88 six time less than another one...much better quality and look! I like the rudamental look which suits a lot of my things lately. The designs are endless and the concept very ethical. Most importantly they are Made in the USA.

I could buy a big bag of beans to last me a year and enough gasoline to last me six months...sheesh.
The big wave of double digit inflation is rolling in so hang on to any money you have...
