She was satisfied because she had makeup to carry and use....and her father was happy that she didn't look too "made up" too young.

I also found her a very sheer powder with just a touch of sheen and glitter...that was enough to make her happy without being too over the top.

Amazingly, she was satisfied with that until she was 16 or 17....then she went goth.

I was thinking along those lines good to hear it worked for so long thank you

Invictus: I am a parent that wants to know and will take the appropriate measures,but I found she is a good kid she never turns a card,I think it has a lot to do with teaching them respect first,for themselves and others.

Took our daughter to college to wrap everything up and get her books... for 3 classes of books her total was $536. Come Monday she'll have to go and get her English texts. thank you for lottery and scholarship monies.

The costs of books in college is crazy! have you checked online for used school books? you can get em for like less then half cost. We have one here next to EKU bargin books. but online is way cheaper so the kids told me at work.

I think I also heard recently about borrowing/renting books being a possibility now. Also something about downloading entire books for a price.

Sorry, I didn't pay more attention. No kids in college (yet)!
