Just trying out my telelens on seagulls over the houses seen from my balcony. Nothing spectactular compositionwise, but I was surprised by the sharpness of my zoomlens, and the other (flying) seagulls are nice and blurry...

Hello lovlies, my name is Aoife and I'm a potential lushaholic!
I went to the Lush store in Convent Garden in London, and East Street in Brighton while visiting my sister in England during the summer. Such a wonderful experience both times and I bought a few items; Dream Cream, Angels on Bare Skin, Skin Drink and Fair Trade foot lotion, and loved them all.

Having seen how much I enjoyed my Lush products in the summer, my sister is going to buy me a heap of Lush stuff for Christmas, YAY!! So here's my question; what kind of things should I look out for that I might have reactions too, what are the products that you all have some little difficulties with? I have very sensitive skin, on my face especially, but pretty much over my whole body really.

Thanks in advance guys, I'm so excited lol

Was at the DOK Centrum yesterday, which is the hip new name of the public library in town. The architecture of this building is definitely interesting, of which I will try to take more and nicer pictures another time. But for now, here's the slanted roof, with long rows of hanging lamps. Patterns in perspective...

Maybe a little belated, but there might be fans outside the UK, who don't know this, yet.

I wish it was okay for women to talk about poop the way men do. . . Because sometimes I'm proud when I have a particularly big or interesting one and I really want to tell someone about it!

My boyfriend's always comments on how nice my skin feels/smells after i've used any lush products, so I decided I would get him some things for his birthday. I'm going to get him the "Shave The World" gift pack, but I noticed it doesn't have a cleanser included. So I was wondering what cleanser you would suggest for minimizing pores and blackheads, and for slightly greasy skin. Also maybe suggest some products your men love?

ljsecret will be taking a week long hiatus from posting imaged based secret posts. On Monday (November 16th) a text only submission post will be opened and left open all week. Starting the following Monday (November 23rd) we will post image based secret posts again. Starting that Monday (November 23rd) we will start a new posting schedule that will eliminate posts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That means we will only be posting image based secrets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

If you would like to submit your image based secrets, please go here.

We are opened to any suggestions you have to make the community more active. Please leave any suggestions you have. Thank you.

So I went to Lush today and the girl gave me a good size chunk (about $12) of the blonde shampoo for free. However, I'm asian and have jet black hair and have no intention of lightening it up... so I was wondering if I used it what would happen or if there's an alternate use for it or something.

Thanks! :)

Australia's NineMSN has a new contest online for the Road to Hogwarts activities surrounding the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince DVD release.  This contest, which is open exclusively to Australian residents, offers as a grand prize: a family trip for four to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park at Universal Studios Orlando.  Through December 10th, Australian residents may enter...

Heey, just a quick question, for how long are the Christmas products available online? Just up until Christmas, or even a bit after that (like, first week of January)? Thanks :)

So i just thought i'd post about my kitten Ally...Again.

Things she does that are adorable:
-Even though the dog is obviously three times her size she will jump on her and attack her ears, snout and tail.
-She is very sweet in the morning, but gets more hyper and wants nothing to do with cuddling and only wants to play as the day wears on.
-If you pass her and she's hiding under a chair or bed she'll attack your ankles or feet.
-She would rather sleep in a plastic chair than her soft catbed anyday.
-She will only go outside if you are outthere with her. If you leave her out there and close the door then she will climb up the door and peek in the window. Her way of saying let me back in.
-She knows how to get what she wants. If you are trying to be stern with her she will look at you with those greenish-gray eyes and meow in the sweetest way to get what she wants. She always wins.
-last but not least when you are sitting up, obviously not asleep, she will try to laydown on your neck or chest.

I will post pictures up later. She's the cutest thing.

I have a question though. She likes to jump on the table and explore it. How do i stop that? If i tell her no she waits until i walk toward her then jumps off. But a few minutes later she's up there again. I wouldn't mind if sometimes food wasn't on the table.

Today my mother and I went to our local humane society to look at the dogs that are up for adoption, because our Rotty-Dane mix is in bad shape and probably won't see the end of winter. :/ While we were there, we decided to look in on the cats and kittens, and there she was-- A tiny, bedraggled tuxedo kitten, with the saddest eyes I have ever seen on a kitten so young.

We asked the staff member who'd accompanied us to the upper floor about her, and it turns out they'd just found her the day before inside their boardroom. She'd been abandoned by her mother, and they'd already lost 2 of her littermates. My mother took one look at her and volunteered to foster her right there on the spot.

I live out in a rural area, so our Humane Society is often over filled and understaffed-- They didn't really think twice about letting us bring her home in hopes of nursing her to full health. They'd had her with a surrogate mama, but they were still thinking they'd lose her anyways. She's about a month old, and we're calling her Darling, because she's so tiny-- about the size of the two kittens my female had when they were 2-3 weeks, far too small for her actual age. She has a URI, which is why they were so pessimistic about her survival, but we ought to be able to clear that up just fine.

As soon as we had her out of her cage and being cuddled by my mother and I, she perked right up. Just seeing this feels like a hopeful sign, that she just needed some private care and attention, which I can't fault the shelter for being unable to provide, since all of their cat rooms are absolutely filled.

I've raised kittens before, but they had their mother for milk, though we supplemented it with formula-- If no one minds, could I get a few tips for straight-formula feeding? We're using a syringe right now, because we've lost the bottle that came with the formula, and she seems interested enough, but she won't lap it up herself, and I'm afraid of making her eat, incase she accidentally aspirates it.
