i was trying to find out what women carry in their purses?

hcc_elf

i'm doing some research of what women generally have in their purses

Answer
I have a small wallet with my drivers license and debt card and cash. Then I have a larger wallet that has my check book, credit cards and other various cards (Sam's card, insurance card...). I have a make up bag with chap stick, mascara, eye drops, contact drops, nail file, matches (just in case), perfume, gum, Tylenol and a pen. I have a small hair brush and my sun glasses and my cell phone and my keys. I also have a small walletish type thing that has a new set of contacts, a contact holder and saline solution in it (very handy and cute! Its purple). If its that time of the quarter (I take the 3 month pill) I will have sanitary products in the zip up hiddey pocket on the side. I believe in being prepared. :)

Edit: I will also have a book in there on most occasions. There isnt one in there now because I left it in the car at lunch.

I need a cute DIY gift Idea for Christmas. ?

Alex L

Mainly this is for the women in my family. I have done ornaments already... and need a cute idea for just the girls. I cant afford the lavish gifts I have bought everyone the past couple years, but dont want to just not get them something.

Answer
What you'll need:
Brownie Mix
Chocolate Or Vanilla frosting
5 candy canes.
Brownie mix supplies

Make the brownies(follow the instructions on the package), then take them out when they're ready. Let them cool COMPLETELY! Next cut the brownies out, one by one, about 5 x 3 so you'll have 15. Take the frosting & well cover! After that, somehow- with a hammer or a hard tool crush the candy canes into tiny pieces and sprinkle them on top of the brownies.


You can get some scrapbooking supplies and make lovely christmas cards. I saw this really good idea on HGTV. They took brown paper bags for lunch, and folded the front side where you'd place the items in upward. (you hold the bag upside down from the opening and fold it upward) You'd decorate it with the scrapbooking supplies and possibly place a card, gift card, some cash in the opening pocket.

If you go onto HGTV.com I'm sure you can find the idea!

Also if you can knit, make them homemade scarves, gloves, maybe a blanket. You can make candles for them, that's always fun.

Homemade cookies, fudge, candy, etc!
Look up ideas online. Google and Yahoo!'s search bars should do you some good!

Wikihow.com and ehow.com are great for DIY ideas!

Happy holidays!

I need help with CHEAP baby shower ideas?

Kelly P

my step-mom is having a baby in March and I have offered to host her baby shower at my house. I need cheap ideas on BABY BOY baby showers. PLEASE

Answer
do brown and blue with dots and blocks these are simple to make home made decorations so the budget will last longer and the food can be what ever you want. also these mod colors are so in right now an choose two other colors if she hates these.

here are a few ideas.
have boxes which you can get free at sams outside liquor stores and at walmart if you just ask. then spray paint them to look like blocks and use stencils if your not a crafty person. then place the blocks stacked on each other or by them selves around the room.

take a clothes line and between pillars door ways or on the large table or fire place string it up. then using clothes pins take baby doll or real baby clothes and hang some of them up. very cute and very popular for a large decoration like if you have a large fire place just don't have the fire lit.

use a clean baby tub,baby potty, or other large baby item to serve the punch in and use round ice cube molds with colored ice as polka dots to stick with the theme. plus after washed well the tub or potty can go to the mommy to be.

look up diaper cakes and how to make them they are easy and fun and make both a great center piece as well as a gift to the mommy.

also use a whole punch to make several circles out of construction paper and sprinkle around the room on tables and around center pieces to stick with the dots theme.

ask florist at your near by grocery store or florist if you can have the old flowers that they don't want. usually if you get a nice one then will give you the ones that are extra or are about to wilt just make sure to do this the day of the party.

also get large glass bowls from the dollar stores and put blue water in them then when you put the white tea lights in them to float around it will look like white polka dots. very cute.

also save some boxes and cut out giant polka dots medium sized ones and small then spray paint different colors and hang from around the room with floss or fishing string so that the dots look like they are just floating.

for food get a not expensive thing of ham or turkey lunch meat and spread the off brand cream cheese on i then take those small pickles not the sliced one but the ones that look miniature and put them on the meat then roll up and cut into small pieces like you would a tortilla roll up. very yummy and always a hit at parties.

make cookies and cupcakes that go with the party theme like ones with teddy bears or polka dots

and make simple sandwhiches like tuna or chicken salad and ham with cheese and cut into squares or use a cookie cutter to do polka dots.

chips dip crackers and veggies are a huge hit cheap when off brand and fill woman up pretty easy.

and for punch do it old school use the moms favorite sherbert flavor and add sprite or seven up.
if she like rassberry then use ginger ale.

for favors by baby booties in bulk they are cheep and buy a big bag of potpurri and fill each of the booties then tie off with a ribbon. very cute or at eh dollar store buy scented tea light candle in bulk and put into some cute bags or celliphanes and tie off with ribbon and if the mom has ultrasound pics find the best one and make some black and white copies that are small and place on card stock, punch a dot out with the whole punch and run ribbon from the whole to one of the above party favors.

hope this helps.

What is typical NYC summer weather?

cute lunch bags for women image

bailey mic

I'm a 20-year-old female college student moving to the city (specifically, Manhattan) for the summer from Oklahoma, for an internship. I've heard that it gets hot up there, but I'm curious about the average temperature. Down here, it's about 90-100 daily, which is nothing unusual for us.

What's the average temperature? What kind of clothes do people typically wear, when not in workplace attire?

Thanks!
By summer, I meant approximately June through August. Sorry!

Answer
I'm on board with the average temps in NY being 80 through 100 and the humidity being the worst part of in. In Manhattan itself you have the stifling heat because no air moves between the buildings but if you manage a stroll to either end near the water you get a decent breeze especially after it gets dark.

--- If you don't have Air Conditioning where you'll be staying you'll probably want to hang out in coffee shops, book stores and other locations that will let you chill in their AC or maybe hang late at your place of work. Museums and libraries run special shows during the summer from free music to dancing.

--- Summer dresses are really a good idea because they go from day with a nice little sweater and mules to hot nights with no sleeves and a pin to hike it up a little and some flip flops. If the fabric is of darkish colors you can even get away with walking through an open hydrant in it and letting yourself air dry or even a walk on the beach.
Capris are acceptable in some work places if they are nice and matched with again a nice sleeveless button down and a cute shrug and you're all set for day into evening. The short mini dresses paired with some leggins are in some offices acceptable again keep a shrug or even a long suit jacket around and heels under your desk or someone's desk and you can be dressed up in a second. If you have to wear suits then make sure you remove your stockings and heels before you leave the building. Women tend to wear no sleeves because you reduce pit stains on your clothing. Remember lots of times you will go out straight after work.

--- Some subway trains have no heat. You'll know when they pull into the station because it will be the one rather empty car. Some will have great air, but the platforms usually don't because it will cost the city too much to compete with the heat from the outside of the trains.

--- Cabs are upgraded and most will have AC but the ride in traffic can be costly on a daily basis.

--- Keep hair accessories available, you can pin your hair up if neccessary and off your neck when you start to overheat. Keep a body spray in your bag. A light fruity one or powder scent nothing overwhelming spritz and hang outside for a minute then return from lunch. It'll take away the food smells and funk if your deoderant decides to bail on you.
--- And congrats on the internship.

Confused about this female. Your thoughts are helpful here?

I like this colleague of mine. for her birthday I gifted her a nice top which she seemed to really like, but she has never worn it yet in more than three months! when I asked her, she said she still has not tried it and its lying in the same shopping bag at her place . . . now that I want to tell her about my feelings this 'top' issue haunts me, I feel she does not like me or does not want to send me a wrong signal. what do you guys say?

Answer
Honestly, just asking, why did you get her something to wear? It's hard for my husband to even find me something to wear since my figure is hard to find something that fits just right.

Also, when you buy a woman something to wear, it is a more intimate kind of a gift b/c its sending the signal that "I like you and I want you to wear this because I think this will look hot on you". Also, it seems like it takes a lot for a guy to get to a womens clothing store, look in the womens clothing section, find something that will fit right in HER size and that she will like it. Clothes are something you should buy your other when you are in a relationship. When you got her the shirt, you sent the message that "I know what you like, I will like to see you in this, and I know your size." Women are hard to shop for when it comes to clothing. It's an intimate ordeal, and what if she is a size small and you got her a large? oops... what is she is a large and you got her a small? She wouldn't like to come tell you, "sorry, I need a bigger size."

It may not fit her, she may not like it or maybe it feels awkward for her to wear it to work b/c then she knows she will be under your spotlight. Next time you get a colleague a gift, settle for something neutral, small and sweet like a card with "happy birthday" in it with some candy or a gift card to a lunch place that they like nearby.

I know your intentions were good, but if I went to work and a guy got me some clothing for my birthday, yes I may like it, but I would feel like he is wanting me to dress the way HE wants even though we are just colleagues.

Don't think of it too deeply, just keep going on and move forward. If things are meant to happen they will.

Also, what was the top like that you got her? Describe it and let me know if its tight, low cut,... that can let me tell you more. Why did you get this certain top, what were your motives to get a top like this?

One time my husband got me a halter top that was fitted in the bust line. (I have a large bust and a small waist) When I tried it on, I saw that it was a size small but I figured I'd see if it fit b/c clothing sizes are different for different brands. Sure enough, it didn't fit since it was fitted exp in the bust area, I was going to literally bust out of it, lol. Even though it was my husband, it was emberassing to say "no baby, this is too small". It was very cute, sexy and it sucked that I liked it so much and it didnt fit. He obviously wanted me to wear it if we went out so he could see my cleavage, haha. But it didn't fit.

Also dont bring up the shirt to her EVER. Don't talk about it, don't ask about it b/c it will send the message that you always notice that she doesn't wear it and that you expect her to wear it which will create awkwardness for both of you. Just keep work gifts neutral, generous and something that you know the person will like. Get hints, like do they drink coffee? Get them a starbucks card. Do you see they have chocolate at their desk? Get them some chocolates. Do they love dogs? Get them a small dog picture frame. Do they like movies? get them movie tickets and said to treat them and a friend to the next movie they would like to see.

Here are gifts to stay away from (in my opinion) for work, expecially if you like the person on more than a work buddy level---- jewelery... clothing... red roses... cards.... romantic music cd's... perfume... anything that goes on their body..

Good luck!
