It's random. Sometimes 2 weeks, but sometimes longer. I'm waiting too.

i just bought the life saving diaper changing pad this morning at walmart store. haven't tested yet. but i'll be glad to ditch the pads that come with diaper bags. did you buy refills for the diaper baggies? i have ones from sassy that don't come in a roll, and i'm thinking of just sticking in a few of it there, but the dispensing action wouldn't work as intended. it may also be a good place for hand sanitizer.

I haven't ever used the pad that came with the bag now that I think about it...I haven't had to buy refills yet, but I was thinking if and when I needed to (some people were talking about not being able to find them easily) that those doggie bag things that people have for when they take their pups for a walk to clean up after them should work well and they come in a roll and are easy to find...but I will have to see. If I can't find any, I may just go your route and stick some hand sanitizer in there. Depends on how stinky the kid gets laugh out loud

I received the arm & hammer munchkin pail as a shower gift and ended up loving it, so I haven't had to venture out too much. Some of those bags in rolls look good to me, or if they aren't in the roll I guess you could even just put them in one of the pouches. Seriously, I love this changing pad too much. I need to get out more.

On another note, I am going to buy the Norwegian hand cream at lunch. My hands are gross and I am not a BBW fan either. Body Shop body butters seem to be the best for me at night and I am still looking for something good for the day Frown

Man, I feel weird the last few days. I felt ill Friday and Saturday but it has passed...but since then, I have no appetite. Like, I'll get hungry and start to eat and then after a few bites or so, I'm just done. It's odd. Not nauseated or anything, just no interest in food after a few minutes.

Quote from leftie :
It's a gel consistency. I only use maybe 2 or 3 small "dots" of it b/c that's all you need!
I let that absorb and if I feel my hands are still dry, then I'll use more.

I used too much once and that's the only time it didn't absorb very quickly.
Maybe, I used too much. Dontknow It's too bad I ended up throwing it away, or I could have tried using less. I just didn't like the consistency at all.

Quote from annicus :
like alvs said, the true blue spa products are pretty good. highlights are the hand cream, foot cream, and foot treatment/cream in a tub. these are the items i use regularly. i think i like their salt scrub too but never bought it. i did not like their foot scrub in a tube, but i heard their foot scrub in a tub is good (i've never tried). i have no idea if they've discontinued any of these products kuz i rarely shop there nowadays - i only buy soaps there now - i still have a stockpile of the foot cream to use up.

the neutrogena hand cream that you're describing is the unscented norwegian one. it does take a bit longer to rub out, but it does work well. they have another one that's got SPF30 and is also "norwegian". that one is more of a cream consistency and is not difficult like the unscented version - it applies much like any other hand cream. i'm not sure if it's as good, but it's definitely not bad, plus SPF is always good.
Thanks for the TBS recommendations. I'm going to try the new mist sunscreen for sure. I'm still looking for the perfect hand cream & I need a good foot scrub too. I'll check those out the next time I'm at the store.

The hand cream I had was the unscented one. Maybe, I'll try the other one that has a cream consistency. Even if it doesn't work quite as good, I may actually use it. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how good a product is, if you won't use it.

Quote from Stardust42 :
Aw! I was just about to order! :sadwalk :
And it makes more sense to have 2 accounts if you don't shop at sephora too much. You can have 2 bday gifts per year. : )
I'm sorry you missed out. hug My order still says sent to warehouse, so it may not ship. The only problem with having 2 accounts is I've been using them equally. It just occurred to me that I'd never make VIB that way. Yeah, sometimes it takes me awhile to "get a clue". Facepalm

Quote from annicus :

won't help you this time, but i was able to click 'quick info' and find out what scents were in each of the sets. i actually found that i would have liked all except the addictive one - there were scents in each that i really liked. in fact i don't even remember which one i ended up getting. :lol :
Thanks. Smilie I finally found a way to see them up close, but it wasn't as efficient as your way. I'll try that next time.

Quote from kurips :
i ended up getting the addictive :lol : i think it was the choice for which i haven't tried all or the most number of scents.
That was the one I ordered too. I hope my order ships.

Quote from IceyNiki :
Update on my car breaking down...

It would only take $250 to fix the current issues; however, there is a bigger problem that is causing the smaller issues. It would cost so much to fix that my mechanic would not even tell me the price. So Baby Bubba is parked outside, but she is being retired. I am so sad. She is my first car. I definitely rode her until the wheels fell off. I am in shock because I bought a new car. I was not expecting it to happen so fast.
Congrats on the new car. woot
