I'm 54, live in the hot Southeastern U.S. and have been hit hard by aging skin within the last 5 years.

I've always used some type of daily moisture since my teens, from Mary Kay, to Oil of Olay, to Estee Lauder (which I love but Im allergic to something in the serum).

I used to get LOTS of sample facial products so I've tried probably 100+ different brands and regimens. I liked a lot of the samples, but there was one moisturizer that I absolutely loved and could see and feel an immediate difference on my facial moisture, and glow. It was the Shiseido "Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream".

I've never stopped thinking about it but the price makes me hesitate. I can get it for a great price from Costco.

I'm ready to purchase now, but before I do so, do any of you have any opinions, or success stories, or warnings, etc? Are there other products I should seek instead, like the prescription tretinoin, adding a retinol and vitamin C product?

I just got a Chase Unlimited with 0% interest for 15 months. It has a 3% balance transfer fee.

​

I have 2 Capital One cards, QuickSilver with a $500 balance and Venture One with $600 balance. 28.24% April on both.

​

I also have $4000 balance on a Chase Sapphire. 26.49% apr.

​

In addition, I have 2 department store cards with about $1000 balance each.

​

Finally, I have $2000 tax debt that I'm likely paying with the Chase Unlimited.

​

What route should I go with $2500 that I'm putting to pay toward cc debt?

​

1. Pay off both Capital One cards and the rest go to Chase Sapphire?

​

2. Transfer both Capital One cc's and dept store card balances to Chase Unlimited and make payments while using the entire $2500 to pay on Chase Sapphire?

​

3. Keep the Capital One and dept store cards balances where they are and pay within a few months without transferring any balance to Chase Unlimited while paying the $2500 to Sapphire balance?

I see Buju Banton coming to Huntsville Alabama with Gramps and Stephen Marley. Anyone living around the place have a feel for the local vibes?

How much Caribbean people there?

Within Shelby and Jefferson counties, where does one find the MOST authentic Jamaican kitchen? One that is just like home and music sent through the winds.

Also, where do we buy our produce? I need more than Publix

Edited to update, this was one way flying into Manchester and needing the train once we clear baggage claim and hop in an UBER. We'll be flying back home from another location. ..

I'm taking a train later this year from Manchester to Birmingham New St Station. The alert was for Manchester Airport to New Street Station.

Once I tap the email link, it doesn't allow me to make the purchase beyond the 12 week mark. Does that mean the allotment for earliest purchase has already sold? It's still 5.5 months out, and I've only previously purchased tickets at or after the 12 week date.

I'm also interested in the options of other stations in Manchester, and Ubering from the airport to Man Piccadilly, Victoria, etc.

Is it worth the time to catch a train at MAN IA to take me into one of the city stations, or should I still catch the Uber from the airport? Im assuming there isn't a direct train from airport to Birmingham, am I correct?
