I admit that I am American and used to going into large "drug stores" where I can read all the labels on vitamin bottles so it is a bit disconcerting not to be able to do so in the Pharmacies. I have looked online but still find it difficult to get the correct information as to quantity and mg of various vitamins. I am specifically looking for melatonin, zinc and magnesium (without calcium). Does anyone know a good website or somewhere other than a pharmacy where I might buy theses at a reasonable price?

We have a very active Zumba class here in Chelle Debat 65 (midway between Tarbes and Trie sur Baise)  On the 16/12 there will be 2 masterclasses of 2 hours each, one from 10-12  the other from 2:30-4:30.  €12 for one session, €20 for the 2.  It's great fun and wonderful exercise.  Jhon and Eddie are both qualified sports teachers as well so its not just someone doing it who has no experience (it is compulsory for associations to employ qualified sports teachers). Have a look on Youtube.  Zumba at Chelle .  great fun  Open to everyone.  PM me for more info

Hi,  My teenage daughter needs orthodontic treatment and I am wondering if anyone out there can advise me on orthodontists in Auch. We have a very expensive quote from one already, who is proposing invisalign invisible 'gutters' rather than braces. I think this is not ideal as they have to be changed every three weeks, and need to be taken out for eating and brushing teeth....my daughter is an intern and may 'forget' to put the gutters back in.  Other than the price, the problem is that this denstist does not work Saturdays and apparently has no spaces on Wednesday afternoons. As my daughter is an intern, this poses a problem. The dentist has already said that consultations will be long and in school hours........Can anyone suggest an orthodontist that might me more accomodating and that works on Saturdays? Thanks!

I'm in dire need of a good Redken salon. I've looked online at the Redken site and found some salons in Toulouse/Tarbes/Pau but I'd really like to have a recommendation if possible. I don't care where the salon is or really even if they speak English, I just need a good stylist as my hair is a wreck at the moment and I can't bear to look in the mirror any more. What I want is an experienced stylist who knows how to cut a youngish person's hair but that isn't going to give me a stupid cookie-cutter razor cut and make me look like an androgynous nightmare. Help! Thank you.
