  Silver nail polish on nails. Photo by Angela Lansbury. I love red nail varnish.  Why not wear it every day? It chips. It does not go with orange nor pink. It probably does no good to your nails. Regarding co-ordinating, I used to take a lot of travel weekends away. I had a small suitcase and stuck to a simple colour scheme of red, black and white. Then I got tired or constant red.

I also used it to cover the black revealed when the thin silver coating on a bath plug had scratched off Useful Websites for si...

I looked at the bracelets and necklaces supplied. Could I buy multiple bracelets or necklaces with lobster clasps to repair my jewellery?  One in each colour to match my outfits?  What about a plain silver, gold or black choker necklaces for pendants? I found offers on Amazon and Temu. I would want a matching bracelet and necklace. You can buy single set ready made. But what about an assortment?  When I w...

Dresses with pockets. Pockets are useful to the user. Pockets can take a hanky. But even when empty, pockets are a place to put your hands. Hands Off The Table In England We discussed hands on the table. In England you don't put elbows on the table, nor your hands. You might be tempted to extend your arm. Why not. Firstly you obstruct the view of the VIP at the head of the table, their speech, or the person toasting them. You exclude the person on your right if your right arm is on the table and you are half turned with your back to the person on your right. You don't include them with your eyes, or see if they open their mouth, trying to speak and join in.  ...
