Hi, I dropped off 13 cashmere sweaters at the dry cleaners, picked them up and when I went to put one on today I noticed it was wide and completely shapeless. I panicked and tried on a few others that had just come back and they are also wide, loose, and baggy. The sweaters are expensive (many of them retail for around 1k or more) fine knit cashmere or cashmere silk blend. Is there any way to fix the damage done by the dry cleaners? I dont know what happened since I have used these cleaners before without issue, I am just praying that there is a way to undo whatever damage they have caused.

J'ai reçu tellement de réponses utiles à ma dernière publication que j'espère obtenir également de bonnes suggestions pour une autre question. Je vis à San Francisco et je vais séjourner à Saint-Malo pendant 5 jours (du 5 au 10 juillet), puis prendre le train pour Quimper et passer 5 autres jours à Concarneau (du 10 au 15 juillet). Je louerai une voiture à chaque étape et je suis prêt(e) à faire jusqu'à 1h30 de route dans chaque direction (soit 3 heures aller-retour). Je sais qu'il y a bien plus d'endroits magnifiques qu'il n'est possible d'en voir lors d'un si court séjour, mais j'aimerais beaucoup connaître les recommandations des habitants et des personnes qui connaissent bien la région. Pour chaque secteur, j'aimerais savoir quels sont, selon vous, les 3 à 5 lieux incontournables. Pour situer le contexte : je sais que je voyagerai en juillet et qu'il y aura donc du monde, mais je souhaite éviter les endroits tellement populaires et commerciaux qu'ils en perdent leur authenticité et ressemblent presque à Disneyland (comme les abords du Louvre à Paris, avec leurs stands vendant des sweat-shirts de mauvais goût et leurs vendeurs proposant de la nourriture médiocre à prix excessifs). J'aimerais beaucoup visiter une ou deux villes pittoresques dignes d'un conte de fées et admirer les falaises spectaculaires surplombant des eaux émeraude. La seule réservation que j'ai effectuée pour l'instant concerne la traversée en bateau vers les îles Glénan, durant mon séjour à Concarneau.

Merci pour votre aide, et je m'excuse si ma traduction est maladroite ; je ne parle pas bien français.

I am traveling to France from the United States in a couple of days and ordered the Dyson travel hair dryer to bring with me since it is dual voltage, but I am unclear on the adapter requirements. It says on the website that the adapter should have 1300w capacity but I am only seeing converters with that power rating and not any adapters. The highest rated adapter I see is for 100w, so I feel like I must be missing something. Has anyone successfully used their travel hair dryer over seas and if so what adapter did you use with it?

EDIT: Adding information provided on Dyson website about using the travel hair dryer internationally:

Yes, universal voltage automatically adapts to your destination, from 100–240v, for seamless performance anywhere. A travel plug adaptor may be needed depending on the destination. 

To make sure your product works effectively wherever you travel, we recommend using an adapter rated to 1300W across the full voltage range (100-240v).

As he has gotten older, my husband's complexion has gone from having rosy cheeks to an always bright red face. It isn't inflammation or irritation that is causing the redness, it is more like the color of his skin has permanently just changed to red. The redness doesn't dissipate or increase based on different conditions, it is simply always red all over. Since he isn't a big drinker and never has been, the cause is most likely due to the extensive time he spent outdoors golfing and playing tennis in his youth and early adulthood without sunscreen.

After seeing some recent photos of himself, he decided he wants to treat the redness and has enlisted my help. He spoke with a family member in NYC who is a plastic surgeon there, and she told him that the best laser for his condition is Vbeam. From what I can tell, this is typically considered the best option for his type of rosacea.

I would love to hear your suggestions and experience with providers in San Francisco or Marin. I have a strong preference for a doctor's office over a med spa, but if you have had a great experience with a Vbeam treatment at a med spa, I am willing to reconsider my position.

Thank you!

Je vais passer dix jours en Bretagne début juillet (soit dans environ deux semaines) ; j'ai déjà réservé les cinq premiers jours dans le secteur de Saint-Malo/Dinard, mais j'hésite encore sur l'endroit où réserver pour les cinq jours suivants. Je recherche une ville côtière où l'on peut tout faire à pied (je suis prêt à louer une voiture, mais je préférerais un lieu permettant d'accéder aux restaurants et aux commerces à pied) et qui offre un accès à de belles plages aux eaux claires. Vivant à San Francisco, où la température dépasse rarement les 24 °C, j'espère qu'en séjournant sur la côte, je pourrai échapper à la chaleur (bien qu'il semble que même les villes côtières souffrent de la vague de chaleur actuelle). Les trois options que j'envisage sérieusement sont Concarneau, Vannes et Quiberon, car elles semblent toutes disposer de belles plages à proximité ainsi que de centres-villes pittoresques et faciles à parcourir à pied. Je suis également ouvert aux suggestions concernant la Côte d'Émeraude, mais je ne sais pas si les villes autres que Saint-Malo, Dinard ou Cancale sont suffisamment adaptées à la marche pour permettre de rejoindre les plages, les commerces et les restaurants à pied, tout en réservant la voiture aux excursions à la journée.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !

Will be spending 10 days in early July (so about two weeks from now) in Brittany, I have booked the first five days in St Malo/Dinard area and can't decide where to book the other five days. I am looking for a coastal town that is walkable (I am happy to rent a car but would prefer to be somewhere that I can reach restaurants/shops on foot) and has access to clear water beautiful beaches. I live in San Francisco where it is rarely above 24 degrees, so I am hoping that by staying in coastal towns I will be able to escape the heat (although it looks like even the coastal towns are suffering with the current heat wave). The top three contenders I am currently considering are Concarneau, Vannes, and Quiberon since they appear to all have beautiful beaches nearby and towns with picturesque buildings and walkability. I am open to suggestions along the emerald coast as well, just not sure if towns outside of St Malo/Dinard/Concale are walkable enough so that we can get to beaches/groceries/restaurants on foot and save driving for day trips.

I appreciate your help, thank you!

Hi, I have a potted dwarf Bearss lime tree that is in a large pot on my front balcony, the tree has really taken off and for the first time this year I was able to harvest fruit from it (well over 50 limes). However, I think the tree could benefit from some pruning, since I haven’t ever pruned it and I am noticing that it seems to be taking on more new growth than it can sustain so it has to drop many of the mini limes since it can’t support them all.
If you or anyone you know has experience with pruning potted citrus trees I would really love your help with the matter, I worry about unintentionally hurting the tree in the process since I haven’t done it before.
