SKIN IRRITATION FROM KUCHI JEWELRY

Farasha: aka Ellen — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 12:17:44 GMT

It happens to everyone at some point. You wear your favorite piece of kuchi and later that night or the next day you have a nice rash where your precious piece laid.

Kuchi is a mix of metals along with nickel. That is the #1 reason people break out with it.

Here is a quick way around the irritation: Clean your piece GENTLY on the surface touching your skin. Many times I get kuchi in and it has DIRT of all things still stuck in it. Get rid of the dirt. Next apply clear nail polish to the surface that is touching your skin.

VOILA! quick fix!

Suhaila DVDs'!

Farasha: aka Ellen — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:57:14 GMT

I have the 3 pack series of Suhaila's Choreography DVDs. Only ONE is opened to see what is was like. Level 2 and 3 are still packaged. These were ordered DIRECTLY from her site.

I'm just not into her. :/ No offense, but I'm not a kind of person that WORSHIPS a dancer. I prefer someone as a mentor.

I'm asking $50 for all THREE dvd's . They cost me $85!

$8 shipping.

Ellen, you did a fabulous job--the colors are exactly what I wanted!

And to everyone else--take Ellen up on this offer, quick! Not only are her falls beautiful, but the price is unbeatable, and she's FAST--it took one week from my first inquiry to arrival of my falls, including custom-making them for me in the colors I wanted.
