I am from New York and although to me it is the greatest city in the world I cannot recommend it over the Summer. Most people head out of the city on the weekends. Many popular bars are deserted and there is a lot less to do. Walking around in that humidity (please keep in mind that the sticky stifling humidity is much worse in the city than the rest of NY) makes for irritated and cranky company. Maybe you prefer less crowds though but for me the part of the joy was sitting outside enjoying a meal and people watching. Just know you will be drenched in sweat sightseeing. Would you consider other cities in the US? Could you visit now in the fall or the Spring?

I have been dealing with this as well. I was referred to a Dr who performed blood tests. They will try to determine if the main cause is genetic, hormonal, or some type of definancy. I was told to try Regain and have noticed regrowth after months of use. I also have been taking supplements ( Omega 3/6, biotin, silica and just started Inversion). I also use coconut oil, almond , and argon oil mixes. I will try the castor now too! When I returned for my 5 month followup visit the Dr recommended I get 20-30 mintues of sun a day without sunblock (even though I do not have a D deficiancy). Dr said to make sure my SCALP is EXPOSEd to the sun as well for 20-30 minutes. not to cover my hair.

Apricot- I asked about another location as well and was stold a former manager branched out and used the same concept/idea but it is not Susan Walpole. This was from the same lady who said all locations are closing. Not so sure. Susan Warpole always made for great gifts for children back in my homeland. I went and tried to stock up.

For ASD KG-1 centered on the social aspect. You drop the child off to the play area where they are grouped and taken into the classrooms. They make a craft and socialize. While they are there you meet the other parents and attend an "orientation" with a Q&A. The teachers will not divulge whether they are asked to come back or not but within 2 weeks (?) you will get an email. Just to add- ASD has exceeded my expectations beyond belief. I remember when I was considering them and other schools where slots were offered and those within the educational system were suprised I was even considering anywhere else. My children are thriving there and the sense of community is lovely. I feel confidant that my children are getting a superior quality education there.

I had it done. Lovely staff and relaxing atmosphere. My teeth tend to be sensitive in areas but I did not feel any pain However I barely noticed a difference nor did anyone I saw that evening/week When I asked how long it lasts they said I would have to redo it every few months Yes it's cheaper than Zoom but with Zoom you really notice and it lasts for years- so in the long run Zoom is cheaper. If your not a heavyred wine , soda, coffee drinker Zoom can last for over 6 years. I'm a heavy coffee drinker and it lasted me for many years

old thread I know but was wondering how the poster made out. Was curious about the way to go about getting the large trees (like date) implemented into the ground. Has anyone used a particular compnay for this? Is it better to purchase date trees from municipality?

How much is a table? I have done the safa one and it was exhausting but worth it. Its been a long time but both times the theft was draining. Some thieves had zero discretion and were so blatent. Others worked in groups. This sounds like it may be better

I gave birth to my youngest a few years ago in NY at a top University hospital and was told NOT to use these after my c-section by 3 different Doctors there and the nurse staff. Apparently it weakens some of the muscles amoung other reasons

Do you mean the type for balding spots? If so I know ladies who use MAC eyeshadows for that (Omega, etc) Or do you mean the playful ones for children? I have not looked for those but people order them on amazon

I believe L'Occitane is not really pure. Try the Arte fair at Times Square. There was a lady with a stand there who sells pure organic whipped shea butter not a great smell because it is perfume free but really wonderful butter for the body

There's a honey store just opened in Mercato Mall, outside Aldo Shoes - they sell honey, not sure what kind though. Make sure it is the legit Manuka honey otherwise it's properties are as useless as the kind you can buy from spinneys. So the ones from spinneys have useless properties ?

Im down 34 KG since end of last January No one wants to hear but it was RELLY eat less do more and for me diet was more than 80% battle. I started off with Cambridge for a kick start and motivation and flited back and forth with it. Took up aqua aerobics and elliptical and allowed myself once a week out to eat whatever i wanted. When I hit a horrid plateu I walked at night for 60-90 minutes before bed. Drop the booze and see how fast the "bloat" goes ( Im not a big drinker anyway). Switch to LOW Sodium water and drink a lot. Get the "My Fitness Pal" app for motivation If I can do it most can

Ive done this before and my skin looked terrible and after 10 days my hair loss was at an all time high! just warning you I actually lost more weight in a short span on Cambridge diet which is also controversial but very effective (lost an extra 1.5 kg)- you can lose about 4.5kg in a week depending on your weight

I go to Juan at JLT and really happy. I just got a fantastic new cut and what I like about this salon is they do not try to sell you anything....shampoo, cut and quick blow dry for 150 dhs. I also go to Juan's and am asked a lot where I get my hair colored. My hair is naturally dark and they mange to get it golden without the orange it tends to grab
