I can't believe how awesome those shoes look with everything - great purchase!<br /><br />Also, back when I had my nose pierced, sea salt water worked wonders, so stick with it. Most times, the natural remedies are much less damaging than the chemically cleansers they give you.

That pattern seems like it would indeed do the seasonless thing well. What's the top like - does it have sleeves? Anyway, I have stuff from F21 that folks have mistaken for J. Crew, so I'm totally with you there.<br /><br />Other subject - when I got my nose done, I was strongly counseled against cleaning <i>more</i> than twice a day (and cautioned to clean only with the sea salt/water mixture that seems already to be clearing you right up). I read in the post below that you were cleaning it three times a day, which perhaps was irritating it? So glad it's feeling better.

You have to pick and choose but I've got pieces I've been wearing for five or more years. There's a satin dress there now that's so badly sewn it's an embarrassment; but also, a tailored dress/cardy set that looks like something from Nordstrom!<br /><br />I owe you a HUGE thanks. Those shoes! I am not comfy with heels and usually do not go above 2 inches. Also, I have narrow, flat, sensitive, crabby feet and normally can only wear narrow comfort sandals.<br /><br />But!! Your review of those fab Aldos made me think "hmmmm" so I risked it and got a pair. O.M.G. you are soooo right about them!!! They are balanced, stable, and totally comfortable; I've worn them ALL day, walked around campus etc. with no problems at all. My feet were perfectly happy. And, I've gotten tons of compliments.<br /><br />Erin: you rock!!!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250477132868664608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780247985104223810.post-84619075583348534952010-08-18T21:52:56.364-05:002010-08-18T21:52:56.364-05:00I always have trouble with my left ear too.

I've had them pierced since I was a kid but whenever I wear something in the left it gets all angry and sore.<br />Also, I had the top of my left ear pierced when I was about 12 and it bled for 6 weeks. I kept thinking "it'll stop, it'll stop." It never stopped. Now I have a black spot where it was pierced.<br /><br />I'm not sure what the moral of this story is.Lovers, Saints & Sailorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511118462274490508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780247985104223810.post-34499710471858601992010-08-18T21:01:26.988-05:002010-08-18T21:01:26.988-05:00Oh, and salt is a natural disinfectant (you can ga...Oh, and salt is a natural disinfectant (you can gargle with salt water for a sore throat).

The little stud that they use is not nearly sharp enough to pierce without much blunt trauma. Real needles are much sharper. Also, depending on where you go, the guns are "reusable" and aren't sterilized between uses. <br /><br />Next, and I say this because I had my ears pierced at a Claire's before I knew anything about piercings, the after care they give at those places is crap. You should NOT twist your jewelry around in the hole, as it will drag germs and debris though the fresh piercing, and irritate the piercing. Also, their cleaning solutions aren't very good for the piercing. Typically they contain stuff like alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, which is much too harsh. Sea salt soaks are what you should be using. Hot, it's a natural astringent and can be helpful in drawing out infection and pus. Here's a decent guide on aftercare: http://tattoo.about.com/cs/beginners/l/blpiercingtlc.htm<br /><br />One site you might want to check out is BodyMod.org you don't have to be a member to search through the forum if you have a question that someone else may have already answered.Laur3n Newm4nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889866193536018596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780247985104223810.post-11717065973057683622010-08-18T11:02:45.425-05:002010-08-18T11:02:45.425-05:00(girl, you know I love the title of this post!!)
