Hi, i have dark brown eyes, and brown hair. I have yellow undertones and my skin is light and pale, like classic ivory. I had blonde hair when i was young, and i loved it. Now my hair is medium brown, and i was wondering what color and what kind of highlight or lowlights would compliment my skin? And what is the best colors of clothing to use? I am neutral when it comes to warm and cool tones, because i have a little of both. So i am so confused what would look good. Thanks!

I have been using plain Ivory bar soap for a long time. I like it except that it leaves a lot of scum in the bathtub.

Would organic bar soap, or glycerin bar soap, be better for maintaining a scum-free bathtub as well as be healthier for my skin?

I just moved into a brand new house. I have a big open area which includes the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. My theme for my kitchen and breakfast area is coffee. I have plaid curtains, which include the colors brown, black, and ivory. In my family room, I have a dark sage couch, and my coffee table and end tables are black metal with earth-tone colored stones on top. I have one window in the family room. I would like to put a valance on that window…what color of curtain would go well in that room? Does it need to match the curtains hanging in the breakfast area?

I have this color already in my kitchen. This meets up with an open air design that is visible to the entry way and the living room. I don’t want it to look like a crayon threw up, but I want to use one other bright color for the entry way. Also what more plain color whites, ivory cream will match the yellow. Please suggest colors or websites that may be helpful. Thanks you for your advice.

I plan on decorating my apt. soon with dark oak mission furniture, along with accent pieces like lamps, shelves, and picture frames in espresso…. but I don’t just wanna limit myself to those colors. I’d like to add a little touch of ivory or bone white to my decor but don’t know how to work with them. Do these colors go well with dark oak and espresso? And are there any other colors that I should consider using? I’m trying to give my place a warm cozy look, but I need some ideas.

I have seen the tournament on FSC. The players look a little young, so i think it is some kind of youth tournament. It is now in its semi-final stage. The teams are Ivory Coast, Italy, Chile, and Japan. I would just like to know what tournament this is.

I have a Lane off-white sofa and loveseat - very large and “billowly”. Now I have a larger living room and want to add a couple of easy chairs but that stlyle has been discontinued. I thought about getting 2 paprika and ivory patterned overstuffed upholstered chairs along with matching throw pillows to put on the sofa and loveseat. Will that “go together”? Any advice is appreciated.

I have a yamaha electric keyboard and a yamaha grand piano with the ivory keys and the mover who I noticed stracthed his butt and went to the bathroom and did not wash his hands started to play the keys on the grand and the electric keyboard. How do I disinfect both safely?
Is is safe to use 70% rubbing alchohol on a tissue? on the keys of both? is it safe?

I used stuff like Ivory snow with my son, but it is just so expensive. Now that I am pregnant again, and about to have the baby, I have new clothes that need to be washed, and just wondering how much it really matters if you use special or regular detergent… or maybe if I just use half of what I normally would?
