I read this book almost a year before the movie came out, and I have to admit the I enjoyed the movie that much more because I had read the book. However, I had mixed feelings about the book. I had a very hard time getting into it, and it certainly wasn't a book that I couldn't put down. Once into it, I did find that it got better and was a more enjoyable read.
I suggest renting it from the library or borrowing it from a friend, rather than buying it. I've got a copy that I'll pass on if anyone is interested!

I came across this store a few years ago, and I recently returned after moving back to the area and checking out their inventory online. They keep their website updated with everything in their store, including sale and clearance items, which I find to be very nice since I am travelling in from out of town. I only make the trip when I know there are specific items I want to see.
They carry a number of well-known brands, such as Silver, Mavi, Bench and others, but they also commission many designs for their own label. Everything in the store is catered to beautiful, long-bodied women, so you know that you will not find short sleeves or (unintented) belly shirts! To top it off, the styles are modern, very professional and polished. This is something that can not always be said for some of the other stores out there catered to tall women.
Finally, the store staff are extremely helpful and friendly. They understand the qualms of the long-legged female, and they know the styles that work and look best. At 5'10" and a 36" inseam, finding well-fitting clothes are always a challenge. Long Legs makes shopping far more enjoyable!

I bought this product to minimize scarring from a severe acne problem one year ago. I wanted to smooth the texture of my skin and minimize the scar visibility.
After several Mary Kay Consultants suggested it, I decided to go ahead and try it. If I didn't like it or it didn't work, there is a 100% money-back guarantee.
It is a 2-step system. Step 1 left my face red at first as it become accustomed to abrasive nature of the microdermabrasion, but the Step 2 Replenish cream is so silky and it instantly soothed my skin.
Mary Kay promotes the Timewise results to be the same as spending hundreds of dollars on microdermabrasion at a spa. I was amazed that I noticed a difference after only a week! My skin definately felt softer. More than a month later, there has been a visible difference in the scarring also, and they appear to have faded. I am very happy with the product, and I am looking forward to even, smooth skin several months from now!
