Q: Over the holidays, I received a lip color in a gift exchange that I can’t find anywhere. I have no idea who the gift was from, but I’d love to find it because I’m close to running out. It’s a lip stain. The brand is Palladio, and the color is berry. Is it available locally? Thank you. — Pat W., email

Q: I hope you can help me with the sliding screen doors on my patio. I have tried to get someone to come to my house to repair them.

Can you please locate a repair person who could help? Thank you. — Norma Baptista, email
