"Me" asked Andrea to recommend socks.

Ask Andrea loves Gold Toe socks - look for them in Target! Also, Ask Andrea loves Hanes for Her Slouch Socks in the winter - they're a little thicker and keep your tootsies real warm!!

Good luck sock shopping!!

Ask Andrea is doing her part to promote the "little gem" of the citrus family!

Everyone needs a good kumquat recipe!

This sounds yummy!!

S-Hooks wants to know if there's anyway she can eliminate the annoying drip from her 96 load, 300 oz. big bottle of Wisk.

Ask Andrea must confess - at times, she's had the same problem with her big, Sam's Club size bottle of Tide.

Here's how Ask Andrea solved her problem. The air vent screw on cap needs to be adjusted. If you have the "vent-er" cap open all the way close it each time after you use the pumper below. If that doesn't work - which it might not - then put a shelf above your washer where the bottle can hang over and leave the lid open to your washer so the drips go where they should go - into your washing machine. No more waste. No more mess.

Life is good again!!

Olive-12 wants to know if Ask Andrea can recommend a good bra.

Olive, I have the answer for you!!!

The best bra in the whole world (and believe me, I've tried them all) is the Bali - Style 3820. You can order them through AVON or they carry them at Kohls. I've seen them at Sears too but Sears puts their own brand name on them - they aren't called Bali 3820 there. Once you know what it looks like you could find it at Sears under their brand name. OR....you can just email your friendly neighborhood AVON lady and she can order one for you.

The best feature of the 3820 is it offers double support without any wires! They are comfy and all my friends are now addicted to the 3820 - including Aunt Jan!!!

Good luck - bra shopping sucks until you try the beloved 3820!
