Advice is free.

1. I need a harddrive so I can back-up my ipod. I'm thinking about Seagate or Western Digital, but everything I read with them says that they have all this extraneous software and I'm not down for that. I JUST WANT TO BACK-UP MY POD! Plz to help with an easy solution. I also need to know which software to use to make this transfer possible. I know if anybody can help, you lot can.

2. Cleanser and Moisturizer. The water is different everywhere you live, where I live now the water is a mess and my skin is totally not feeling this. I used to be one of those bar soap kids, and it was perfect, until it stopped working. I like my cleansers foamy, it's just fun, but I'd like it to work more. My skin is fairly normal, more oily than dry with rare blemishes (except now that it's on strike). I'm currently using an Oil of Olay Face Wash as Neutrogena dries out my face. Other suggestions are fabulous. My skin isn't sensitive, but it doesn't like stuff with a lot of alcohol.

For years I used regular Oil of Olay moisturizer, but then they put SPF 15 in it and that messed up the composition and my face went on strike. I'm currently using a rather fancy spa brand, but I'd like to get something a little more reasonable shall we say. It definitely needs to have an SPF as I'm outside a lot and being without is a disaster, but it can't be thick and goopy.

Also, tomorrow is my SIX year LJ anniversary. Wow. Craziness.

I upgraded to a Western Digital Elements 160GB external drive about three months ago, and I love it. It is about as big as my wallet, and it's powered though the USB connection to your computer, so it's super portable. Since it has to power itself on and start up every time you plug it in, it's a bit slow to load at first (and transferring my whole library there took about an hour), but once it's running it's great. They best thing about it is that WD has discontinued the Elements in favor of MyBooks; they don't show up on the Office Depot website anymore, but I got mine in the store a few months ago for $50, and I saw one still there yesterday for $40.
