canadianginger I refuse to use foundation. I think it feels absolutely disgusting, and if it's not applied properly it can look ridiculous. I also won't use self tanners. No matter what kind you use, the color is always too orange and noticeably fake. I'll take pale skin...

canadianginger I know a lot of people who love mineral makeup, but I am not a fan myself. I don't have very sensitive skin, but I found that I actually started to break out after using mineral makeup. I would recommend going into a store that sells mineral makeup and...

canadianginger I use different brands of makeup rather than staying the just one. I love the variety you get from trying products from different companies. I have some products that I always buy from the same company, such as my moisturizer and makeup remover, but other than...

Which night cream products you prefer to use?

canadianginger I love Oil of Olay products! I use the Oil of Olay Replenishing Night Creme every night, and I love it. It makes my skin feel so soft, and it smells great. The cream is nice and thick, and it really moisturizes my skin.

canadianginger We bought the WiiFit a little over a month ago, and I have used it every single day. The games are fun and you can actually get a good workout from it. I have had a Wii for a long time and I haven't had any bad experiences with the Wii or the WiiFit.

Do you buy music from itunes or just use the player?

ddhawkins63 @ddhawkins63 (682) • United States 15 Jun 09

I never buy music from itunes. I either download it elsewhere or use my CD's and then use the itunes player. Do you all buy music from Itunes? If so do you think are the prices reasonable? I was just wondering because I don't see...

canadianginger I occasionally buy music from iTunes. I think the prices are fairly reasonable especially when you only want one or two songs from a cd. But I prefer to have a physical cd in my collection, so I generally rip music from cds to my iTunes. It's not wrong to use...

Sewers: How do you removing hem marking pen/opencil/wax?

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 15 Jun 09

I just got back from the cleaners where I had patches added to my husbands shirt. I didn't notice when I left, but some of the shirts - which are dry clean only - have hem marking pen on them. How do you get this off? I don't have...

canadianginger If you used a marking pencil or wax you may be able to rub the marks off with a pair of nylons/pantyhose. Simply slide your hand inside the nylon and gently rub the marks. If the shirts are dry clean only you won't want to put any chemicals on them. Hopefully...

canadianginger Maybe you could post the recipe? It may help identify where the mistake is happening. If you are using active dry yeast, are you waiting for the mixture to become foamy before you begin to add the other ingredients? The yeast enables your dough to rise, and...

canadianginger I only wear an apron when I am baking. I am often multi-tasking and I find that the mixer tends to splatter when I am not paying attention. I don't feel the need to wear an apron when I am just cooking. Like the other posters on here, I don't wear anything...

What can I substitute for corn starch

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 13 Jun 09

I am trying a new recipe tomorrow, and it calls for corn starch. I do not have any corn starch, but would like to make the recipe tomorrow. What can I use in place of corn starch.

canadianginger You can substitute 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for every 1 tablespoon of cornstarch that the recipe calls for. The flour will provide almost the same thickness/consistency that the cornstarch would.
