ok guys.. so I have the dress, the shoes, the purse, but I'mstuck on the makeup... my dress in aqua and short and fun and my purse,shoes,and wrap are all orange.. I'm also putting a tropical (fake) orange flower in my hair.. but I'm not sure which colors to do on my eyes and lips... I have bright green eyes and blonde hair.. I'll be tan (hopefully) by prom and i have subtle lips.. I need advice on if I should do myeyes aqua or orange or neither and which color i should do on my lips... i was thinkning a nice nudish orange with some gloss but any advice would be great.. thanks guys!
Which colors should I wear for prom makeup?
Personally, I think that you should use as little makeup as possible. But, a nice glittery gold eyeshadow would bring out your eyes. Don't overdo it though! Keep it nice and subtle. Your outfit seems to be very fun and tropical like, so I would suggest a nice light pink for the lips. Not necessarily pale, but not hot pink either. Balance it out for yourself. Also don't tan too much.
Hope I've helped.
Reply:go with a soft aqua on the eyes...not bright and line slightly darker. go for lots of black mascara. If your eyelashes are short you may opt to use a few fake eyelashes. Go for the the invidual lashes, they look more natural... a soft blush and nudish to slightly tinted lip gloss. This will make your eyes pop which will be good for prom........Have fun and take lots of pictures
Reply:green eyeshadow(aqua, sorry) and like u said, nude orange lipgloss. the eyeshadow should make ur eyes come out, and the nude is supposed to bring ur tan out, as well...i think, lol
Reply:well aqua and orange are kinda to tropicalish lol but thats
unique!! for your eyes i think u should wear pretty glitter .
Reply:do a nuetral color like tans or brwn cuz u already have alot of color going on and as for like color any kind of tinted gloss should be fine
Reply:wow....that's a grip load of colors....i think you should just go natural. ..... let the true beauty come out.
Reply:Im not sure if aqua and orange are a good combination..
Reply:well...you should put orange because orange goes better with tan.trust me i know

Does anyone know the name of this flower?
When I was a little girl, we had a plant that grew little almond-shaped white/light yellow flower buds. I would pluck one of the closed buds and put it behind my ear. It would give off the best scent... it smelled like banana popsicles. :) I would love to add this plant to my tropical yard, but I do not know the name of the plant. Your help would be greatly appeciated! Thank you in advance!
Does anyone know the name of this flower?
It could possibly be a 'Michelia Figo' common name banana shrub.It's from the magnolia family.It's nice to have plants from your childhood.I'm collecting a few at the moment too so I hope this is helpful.The site I've provided shows a picture so it'll be easy to judge.

Describe the scene out your bedroom window, from your grade school years.?
Mine was in Hawaii. We were on a Marine Corps base there, so my window looked out at a small mountian to the east. There were some fantastic sunrises.
I had a plumeria tree right out side my window, so that wonderful smell of blossoming tropical flowers was always in my room.
Describe the scene out your bedroom window, from your grade school years.?
my grade school looked out over the Niagara River and you could see Canada clearer than our lawn on the American side, if you were on the 3rd or 4th floor.
my bedroom window looks out to the house next door's wall.
Reply:wow that sounds amazing! I could see out into our back yard, the street which runs along it, into the neighbor's yard, a few houses near by,a little bit of a park across the way, and people strolling around... ^_^ And that's what I still see.
Reply:I could see the green house roof, the fort in my backyard and into my neighbor's window. ;)
Reply:Our backyard had a wooden fence, lots of trees and two small hills.
Reply:another house
Reply:When I was a kid, I could see the house next door (it was a little mobile, my dad owned it and rented it out) and then a really nice little view of the train tracks, which ran on a bridge across my road, and always the sunrise. It doesn't sound like an interesting view, but to me it was the whole world. My favorite time back then was always winter, when the whole place would be covered with snow and the trees would be bare of leaves. I also learned about how the earth moves by looking out my window, because it faced directly east. It was...just home :)
Reply:A house that was the worst blue color, funny its still that same color. Then right there outside my window was the neighbor's dogs house. That dog was so mean, really, he was a German shepherd, used to jump the fence and chase me. One time someone leaned on the fence and he jumped up and took a chunk out of the guys arm for no reason. I used to hear him bark at night and still remember having nightmares he's jump right thru my window and attacking me. Needless to say, I've never really liked German shepherds since.

What are other great centerpieces for my coffee table? Pls help. :)?
am so bored with dried flowers and candles.. any suggestions for unique centerpieces? :)

What are other great centerpieces for my coffee table? Pls help. :)?
1. Tiki statue
2. cool piece of art/sculpture
3. bowl of fruit like lemons or pineapples
4. bowl of shells, or shells arranged in a modern dish with sand %26amp; rocks
5. small stack of good books (this is what is currently on my living room coffee table- I have a toddler and he was messing with the bowl of shells I had at one time)
Reply:Fresh flowers? Or wood items, something with a really nice interesting grain to it. Or maybe a few really beautiful books.
Reply:A really neat bowl maybe with some seashells. Candles are always a good idea. Get different sizes and put them on a glass bowl maybe filled with different colored flat marble like stones.
Reply:Buy a brown metal basket from Pier 1 Fill it with potpourri the dark kind I have more compliments from that
Reply:i found that decorating a flat mirror with pretty figurines maybe a doily and a small candle in a sconce is very attractive. and a great conversation piece as well.
Reply:try some kind of bamboo, like a bamboo candle holder since you like candles but are bored with plain candles, or try growing bamboo in a shallow decorative planter,and there are some palm trees that can be put in small planters and look very nice in a living room.
Reply:Hmm...a piece of driftwood maybe...a bowl full of candy (my idea of a good centerpiece), a parrot, a statue, a fish tank, food, a little cactus, balloons, a stick, a giant sculpture made of dishes piled on top of eachother...I dunno.
Reply:How about a really cool carved bowl with dried fruit (or fresh fruit) in it.
Reply:a pewter fish or something made out of pewter that will compliment the room.
Reply:water fall,fish bowl lots of color, we use conk shells we brought back from bahammas
Reply:This is the new stuff!! Self-sustaining water plants, the come in sealed glass capsules.They're great, inexpensive and never need any care. P.S. Not lava lamps!!!! a Fa- Sui mirror for faith, hope and prosperity.
Reply:Why not a little zen garden..Get a dish (kind of flat though), put some sand in it. Throw in some river rocks and there you have a zen garden.
Reply:Turn it into a beach getaway. get one of those nice sand filled rock gardens two cute small bonsai trees a barbie sized hammock and have a beach party on your coffee table. You could turn those candles into tiki torches.
Reply:buy a piece of glass that will fit the top of your table and place family photos or pictures of tropical fish under glass.
Travel books large picture books depecting tropical getaways is another simple idea.
Reply:1. A small battery operated fountain Yea no cord!!!!
2. A over sized wooden bowl with decorative balls placed inside it like glass, clay, natural material covered balls etc.
3. A bonzia tree
4. a collection wooden boxes stacked on top of each other going from largest to smallest.
5. Large seashells placed in a shallow contained
6. A asain style tea set.
7. Pottery...interesting vases and pots.
8. A sculpture.
Reply:A large piece of murano art glass (bowl, vase etc.) See the URL for an example.

Help! My daughter's bridal shower is at my house tomorrow outside and it.s supposed to rain,.It's decorated in
it's decorated in hawaiian luau theme. there will be 24 people on my back patio with all the beatiful tropical flowers we planed and decorated, lots of food. etc, WHAT WILL I DO THE HOUSE ISN'T BIG ENOUGH
Help! My daughter's bridal shower is at my house tomorrow outside and it.s supposed to rain,.It's decorated in
Suggestions:
1) look up party rental places in your area and call them now...maybe they have suggestions or patio umbrellas you can borrow
2) buy patio umbrellas- check out BBQ/outdoor equipment places and Home Depot or Lowe's.
Reply:well you should always have a back up plan when planning something outside in case of rain. you could look in to renting one of those big party tents to cover your deck. or maybe just have it outside and if it starts raining move everyone inside to stand for a few minutes and wait and hopefully the rain will stop.
Reply:How about the garage?! Seriously if cleaning out isn't too difficult...you could open the garage door and sort of still be outside...hopefully some of those tropical flowers are in planters...if not, pick up some of those when you get the umbrellas (a great idea). Perhaps at least the food part could go in the garage? Depending on your house/garage layout it might work in a pinch.
Reply:If it rains, squeeze them inside. People will be forgiving as obviously you can't control the weather, and unless you live in a trailer or a 1 room house, 24 people can fit. Get creative if you have to move furniture into one of the bedrooms or whatnot. You'll be fine; have fun :)
Reply:You might be surprised at how accomidating your house may be! Also, you can string up a tarp, or move it to the garage even. Hopefully you have great weather, though!
Reply:How can you plan an outdoor anything without a backup plan? You're screwed, you can try calling rental companies for last minute tents.
Reply:You could buy a HUGE tent thing... you know like with the top of it... you can get them really cheaply at walmart!!! :-) gl
Reply:Just be confident

In the center of the table you could have a large glass fish bowl with sand and seashells in it. OR smaller glass fishbowls with beta fish in them. The "place cards" could be sand dollars with the guests name on it. You could use bamboo place mats.
Reply:orchids are very tropical. you could have little umbrellas or seashells for card holders just think beach.

Planters instead of garden this year...?
We are moving to a town house, it's so nice, so happy, the only thing is there is no space for a garden BUT we have this huge patio that I could have 2 big planters filled with flowers!
Can you please give me some tips as well as flower suggestions for the planters? I'm in NW Pennsylvania so no tropical flowers unfortunately. I love Impatients and marigolds, tho!
Planters instead of garden this year...?
Been there, done that and loved it! Soomething to be said for no yard maintainace, eh? I grew up in the country, so it was hard to give up the "country" state of mind. I went to the dollar store and bought two large square planters and an arched wire trellis. I put this on both sides of the entry to my courtyard and planted four small asparagus ferns in the corners and morning glory seeds in pink, fuschias and purples. If there's room in front of them, you could plant clumps of ornamental grasses. Then I put vinyl window boxes all around the perimeter of the patio and filled with phlox, impatiens, snapdragons, etc. (You can even get table-top tiki torches or candle holders to intersperse in them) A little bistro set and some pots of geraniums and I was set to go. It's not the size of the garden but the unexpected ways you can use the space you have. There are even wrought irons holders to mount on the wall to hold pots of trailing plants. Have fun...happy gardening!
Reply:There are some advantages to pots: easier to control soil, easier to deal with plants (less stooping over), fewer buggies.
Because you can control the nutrition and soli viability (and can replace soil), you can crowd plants closer together.
Consider plants that trail for the edges so they trail over the sides of the pot (like Wave petunias), and something tall for the center.
Reply:I started doing container gardening last year....a couple of things I learned along the way...make sure your container has drain holes..believe me it fills up with water, spoils and stinks to high heaven if you dont...I have also started putting a layer of rock in the bottom of my containers, so far working really well.
I have tried several different ways of planting the containers, but have found variety is the best. I would get something tall, like spike grass, then depending on whether you will have sun or shade you can choose your plants from there. Most of mine get sun at 6 hours a day, so I used sweet potatoe vine, because I like the trailing over the pot and the color, petunias, asparagus fern and geraniums in a couple of colors. Dont fill your pot up to much, allow a little room for the plants to grow and fill in. Also, remember, containers seem to require more frequent watering than what you are used to doing in your beds. I am in Oklahoma and during the heat of the summer (it gets over 100 here) last year I was watering before work and then late evening when I got home, everyday! I think the best way to tell is to simply stick your finger in the pot and see if it is dry!
I always go to online nuseries, read about plants that work well in my "zone" and make choices based on their suggestions. Honestly, I buy local, but use the online as a great information source.
There is also a great magazine out called "Backyard Living" you can probably find it online, but they always have great suggestions and lots of pictures. I say, just have fun! Pick the things you like and go for it!
Reply:if it is shady, impatients will work well. with a lot
of sun marigolds or begonias would be very pretty. good luck
