As a reminder, my house is hosting a free book swap today from one to four. It's open to the public, just send an email or LJ message to me by noon to get the address. We're about a three minute walk from the Davis T station.

For more details, here's the original post:

We think this is going to be a really fun time and hope you'll want to join us.

Lush on the cheap.

Anyone interested in buying some Lush shampoo and conditioner?

I have one 3.3 ounce bottle of Rehab liquid shampoo and one 3.3 ounce bottle of Coolaulin liquid conditioner that I'd like to sell. I used each of them once (a very small dab on medium length hair). I'd rather hand deliver than mail, which is why I'm posting here and not lush_swaps . The Rehab is best if used by 02/11/11 and the Coolaulin is best before 11/02/10. I bought both on Friday and there's nothing wrong with them - I had a hairdressing appointment on Saturday morning and I'm going to go a different route for repairing my hair.

The original price for the Rehab on the website is $12.45 and the original price for the Coolaulin is $8.75.  Since they're open, I'd be OK with selling both for together for $12. I'd be willing to sell separately, if necessary, for a fair price (although I think they work pretty well together - they're both for helping processed hair). Say $8 for the Rehab, and $5 for the Coolaulin. Preference will go to anyone willing to buy them together since I am carless.

And yes, to those unfamiliar with Lush products, they are super expensive which is why I'm even bothering to try and resell shampoo/conditioner =)

My boyfriend and I are looking for our first place together!

We're looking for a 1- to 2-bed (I'd kind of like a 1.5-bed) with an eat-in kitchen, preferably in Cambridge or Somerville, starting 5/15 or 5/1. One off-street parking space would be wonderful, though it's not a requirement. Within a mile walk of the T or bus is a requirement, though, since only one of us has a car. My boyfriend would adore some kind of outdoor access, like a yard or a deck. I would adore not living in a basement apartment.

We're pretty limited financially, so I'm hoping to avoid using a realtor. I've been checking Craigslist, but so far, everything is available now or available 9/1. No doubt more things will become available, but I'm a planner, and--honestly--I'm ridiculously excited to be sharing a home with my boyfriend, so I really want to get the ball rolling.

We're also considering Medford on the Somerville side of the Mystic River and Lower Allston because we're kinda strapped for cash. And we're not limiting our search to the West and North areas of Cambridge, nor West Somerville. How easy is the commute to downtown from Arlington? What about from Watertown? Do any of you have any suggestions or know of any places?
