How to Remove Sticky Labels from New Clothing (Quickly & Easily!)
by: LeAnn R. Ralph
I recently acquired three new pairs of jeans. This particular brand (Field & Forest) came with a long label pasted down the back of one leg.
I tried and tried to peel the label off, but all that happened was small pieces of it broke off. The majority of the label remained stubbornly stuck to the pants.
"I can't wear them that way!" I said to myself.
Then I remembered that non-aerosol hairspray removes ink from clothing. It is not necessarily the hairspray that works, I know, it's the alcohol. I keep a spray bottle of ordinary rubbing alcohol in the bathroom to clean the faucets and the toilet and my eyeglasses, and I wondered if the alcohol would work on labels.
I retrieved the alcohol from the bathroom, sprayed the label on one new pair of jeans, waited a minute or two, got a paring knife out of the drawer in the kitchen -- and presto! The label peeled off so quickly and easily, I could hardly believe it. The alcohol dried in 10 minutes, and I was able to wear my new pair of jeans.
To remove a sticky label that refuses to peel off a new piece of clothing, try this:
1. Spray the label with ordinary rubbing alcohol, or, if you don't have any rubbing alcohol, use non-aerosol hairspray.
2. Wait a minute or two.
3. Gently scrape the label off the clothing with a paring knife, a butter knife or another straight edge, such as a credit card or a ruler.
4. Wait 5 or 10 minutes for the alcohol to dry -- and you're on your way!

Fall Fashion Trend - Take Your Jacket To The Shrink
Fall Fashion Trend - Take Your Jacket To The Shrink
by: Brenna Cleeland
Fall and winter may have brought out long peacoats and trenches before, but not this year. One of the most sought-after pieces for the upcoming season will be the shrunken jacket, in a variety of styles. The difference between these new, tinier versions of your traditional autumn and winter favorites is their length; cuts are the same as traditional coats, but they hit slightly above the waist and often tie or button under the chest. The beauty of these new pieces is that they provide coverage in colder months without sacrificing sexiness or femininity.
The perfect jacket is one of the most important elements of your wardrobe, and with so many shapes and fabrics available this fall, it would be a crime to choose just one. The ever-present denim jacket is back with a new vengeance. Instead of the washes of last season or bulkiness of years before, this season?s denim jacket...

No Hunny, You Look Great
No Hunny, You Look Great
by: Tyler Brooker
"Am I fat?" Don't even start with me. I thought that dreadful lose-lose question was a part of history! "Do these jeans make my butt look big?" - "No hunny, your butt makes those pants look big". Why do women still insist on puting men in this ridiculus situation? And it isn't as though we can just say "I refuse to answer", because then you came up with "Geez, you don't even care about how i feel". Wow.
Look ladies, guys arent the only ones with eyes. You know just as well as us if something makes your butt look fat. This is me, making a request for all guys out there - DON'T ASK US THAT! Instead, try something like "aw, I'm fat", so that we can come back and tell you that you are not. This way, everyone wins. Your happy, we're happy, and the divorce rate drops 10 fold.
Moving right along. Ladies, if you are overweight, do something! don't complain, just get rid of the excess. There are tons and...

Pitfalls of Casual Friday
Pitfalls of Casual Friday
by: Mary Arnold
Imagine this: You walk into a prominent, international business office, up to the receptionist's desk - and you see she's wearing flip-flops and blue jeans with holes in them. How do you react to this? I bet your opinion of that business just dropped quite a few notches, right?
Do you think this is an extreme example of some people's taking Casual Friday too far? Do you think it would never happen in your office?
My husband didn't think so - until it did happen in the office of his place of employment, an international, very prosperous company.
He's told me several stories of the inappropriate attire the receptionist has worn to work on Casual Friday over the years such as the aforementioned flip-flops and ripped blue jeans. Also she's shown up wearing a feather boa, tight T-shirts, shorts (during the summer), and miniskirts, among other unacceptable items of clothing.
And it's not...

Depression In Recovery
Depression In Recovery
by: James Sterling
I've suffered from depression for years in and out of recovery, I didn't know what it was though. I just thought I was some kind of loser who would never get things right, I didn't know I was a human being and would never get everything right.
I read an article in an A.A. grapevine once where Bill Wilson said he was in a depression for 15 years, I think it was the first 15 years of his sobriety, I can't remember...
