I don't know the offers so well, but I think it is a nice thing to offer a choise to the guests. For example me, I don't like white wine that much, but everything else yes; rose, sparkling, red...
I'm using Clarins since a few months and I have been rather happy with it. Anyway I think that skin is such a personal thing that it is possible that certain products don't go well even for same skin types.
I have suffered of dry skin for a long time. I know it gets a bit better in summer time, but I got some nice new tips from this thread too, so I just wanted to say thanks. :)
Yes I think it depends on the type of a pet and also what he/she is used to. In general I consider it's better not to leave pets alone more than is necessary.
