The Friday Forum - April 2

After a week of liberating mice from Charlie's grip, I'm ready for The Friday Forum! The forum is devoted to what you have to say about anything related to beauty - or anything else you want/need to talk about. Let's chat!

Before we chat, though, a special request. A Best Things in Beauty reader and contest winner is very sick - more sick than usual. She wrote me this week to tell me why she hasn't been very active online lately and that her mother is helping her tweet. Bonnie has a rare disease that keeps her at home and mostly bedridden. In a contest entry, she wrote movingly about her mother, who takes care of her 24/7. As you celebrate the holidays this weekend, please say a prayer for Bonnie or send positive thoughts her way. On Twitter, she's @MissBonnieBelle. I know she would appreciate your kind messages. Her illness just tears at my heart.

Back to the forum. Are you using a fabulous product and want to sing its praises? Tell us about it! Did you find a beauty product disappointing? Tell us why! Do you have questions others might be able to answer? We can help! Want to talk about skin care? I'm game! Just use the comments. We have busy weekends and slow ones on the forum. Either way, I always enjoy hearing from you.

As usual, I will share beauty bits with you over the weekend. I'll put them in the comments, so check for free shipping offers and other treats from beauty companies.The microphone is yours!
