That means you can keep lipsticks for no more than a year, eye make-up for up to 3 months, blush for 6 months and nail polish for 2 years.

Sometimes I would wish I could live in the same apartment. Ahh, the good ol' days.. … [Read more...]

MySQL on Wordpress.com? I've been trying to import my entries from my other blog at http://nychica.Wordpress.com/ and I can't seem to find it.

I originally transferred all my blog entries from Blogspot to Wordpress because Blogcast can only receive imported entries from Wordpress, Typepad, Serendipity (RSS), Serendipity DB and Generic RSS … [Read more...]
