Ok, so my husband and I made the HUGE mistake of buying an extra thick mattress when we purchased our bedroom furniture. It's been almost 4 years, and we are still having a hard time finding bedding. It seems that sheets that should be able to handle a 22" thick mattress don't fit our bed, and comforters that fit the mattress are no where to be found... laying a king sized comforter over our mattress only comes halfway down the sides. Of course my husband doesn't think anything of it, but we bought beautiful furniture, and I would like a bed set that would complete the room.

Can anyone recommend a store/website that carries bedding for special sized mattresses?

Your help is much appreciated!

My best friend (practically my sister) just had her first baby yesterday. We both work for the same company, and my boss (who is also close with my friend) wants to send a gift for when she gets home from the hospital. He doesn't want to send anything for the baby, as she has received many baby gifts from the shower. He is looking for something that will pamper/spoil her and will make coming home an easy transition. We were thinking something food related so she doesn't have to worry about cooking... I am SOOOOO not creative with these types of gifts. He isn't opposed to getting a nice bouquet of flowers (pretty flowers can always brighen up a home), but he would prefer to get something nicer.

What kind of gift would you have liked to come home to when you arrived home with your new baby?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I normally wear some type of smokey eye, so I am looking for a neutral colored lipstick... I usually just wear chap stick or gloss, but sometimes I want to have a little more color on my lips.

I have had no luck with lipsticks in the past. I have relatively thin lips and fair skin, so anything with too much color makes me look like a clown, and OBVIOUSLY, that is not the look I am going for...

Can anyone recommend a neutral colored (either in the beige or pink family) lipstick or lipstain for someone with a fair complexion?

I like doing my own nails, but I can't seem to find good quality nail polishes and base/top coats that dry quickly. To date, I like using China Glaze nail polish because it dries VERY fast, and I like the variety of colors, but their top coat is way too thick and pulls my nailpolish (the color actually starts to come off my nails).

Can anyone recommend a good quality, fast drying nail polish, and more importantly a good quality, fast drying base/top coat?

Thanks for your help! :o)

I just finished reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I thought it was a great book, and of course, because I was so enthralled with the story, I have started to think about what actors would play the different parts if she made a movie. I know the idea of a movie has also crossed her mind... she has been quoted saying that she would like Matt Damon to play Jared and Casey and Ben Affleck to play Ian and Kyle, but I'm not sure if those are the characters I pictured in my head.

Personally I was thinking:

Jared - Scott Speedman

Kyle - Dominic Purcell

Melanie/Wanda - Megan Fox (maybe)

I haven't really figured out the rest yet.

I was just wondering what you guys thought about what actors should play who.

Thanks for your input!!

I'm in the process of choosing the color of my bridesmaids dresses. My mom would really like me to have a black and white wedding. Over time, I have thought about it, and I'm thinking that it would be really nice. I was just wondering what everyones opinions were on a black and white wedding. What were your colors?

Why is everyone so concerned about losing weight quickly? I used to be that way but I have learned that it is not the right way to go, especially because the weight has always come back on. I know that I am not the only person who knows this bit of information. So... why is every other question in the health section about "how can I lose weight quickly"???
