Oh no! Frown I'm so sorry to hear that, hun! hug

Ideas for stress relief:
- In the evening, before you go to bed, play some calm music (i searched amazon for "massage music" and found this [amazon.com]). Dim/turn off the lights, and light some candles. Aromatherapy is good - lavender, chamomile, vanilla (as well as others [aromatherapy.com]) are supposed to be good for stress relief.
- Try some podcasts for deep breathing or meditation, like these [meditationoasis.com], here [apple.com], and here [apple.com] (look for the mindfulness meditation, guided imagery, deep breathing exercise, and progressive muscle relaxation podcasts)
- Try to set aside a day and time for you to do something fun and kinda splurge, once a week (or every other week depending on your schedule). Go for a massage, mani/pedi, facial, or treat yourself to a movie or dinner (with all the deal sites now, you can usually find budget-friendly options) Smilie
Thanks Sheena! I'll try those techniques. I also wonder if it's because there isn't really "quiet time" for me. Even when there's no noise in my room, I have music playing or something running in the background (like a show). I wonder if that adds to the stress? Dontknow

I'm going to try a quick 30 minute hike with my dog on the weekends. I stopped that for some time, so I'll try to pick that up again.

I think maybe because I see things as a chore, I have less enjoyment, even when it should be joyful. My friend was saying that the way I shop - in and out really quick can be stressful too. So many things to change in my life, but I'm very excited to make some changes.

Not really much of anything lately because my allergies have been so bad. I use the blackberry and grapefruit splashes from the naturally line sometimes. I sometimes use the miracle from lancome.

That's awesome about the goodies you got! I think I'm going to buy a lot of those one-size fits all V-string panties. Very comfy and not very see-through.

I was in your neck of the woods on Sat! I saw all the damage done - it's crazy. I also saw some downed trees and work being done on the power poles on the side of the 210, probably Temple City or Arcadia. That's crazy.

I don't know why it is that when there's space, I try to clutter it up by putting things!! Grr. I can't wait to be free of clutter! Funny thing is, I know where everything is!
yeah, it was surprising that a lot of street lights were still down this weekend. there were a LOT of trees that fell! i'm so sad for them - they've lived so long and now they're all dead. Sadwalk i heart the tree-lined streets of this area! but those are the streets that had the most devastation... we didn't lose power at all (thank goodness!) but there was a huge tree that fell on a gas station right by me. scary stuff. my car is not happy with going over so many branches and stuff. hopefully it all gets cleared out soon!

and good for you that you know where everything is. i think i used to be that way when i was your age - now i don't know where anything is. it takes me too long to find a lot of stuff... that's why i really NEED to declutter/organize. it's good you're starting early.

i think it's too extreme tbh. since we're all inherent hoarders, we need to start off slow. baby steps... otherwise you'll never fix the problem. i'm starting off by actively trying to go through my samples. i also want to sell all the ones i probably won't use. that hasn't gotten done yet.

Someone get me my RAGE CAGE.

VS credit card transactions online are showing two of my orders with SHIPPING and without my birthday coupons. The amount on your angels card is final right, not like when you get email confirmations and they don't reflect rewards coupons?

I'm going to RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

hmmm i'm not familiar with any of those scents. but the splashes sound like they'd be extremely light. did you ever try the philosophy ones? i find that it's really light. of course, i also LOVE how amazing grace smells. i would probably find it heavy if i didn't like the scent.

you can always try the fresh set and return if you don't like it... right?

Wave hi pepper!! nice to see you here, tho not nice to hear of these issues!

yes, angels card is final. i would call them about it. last time one of my bras was charged shipping even tho i used a FS w bra code. i called them (or emailed - i don't remember which) and they fixed it. then later i realized that they credited my angels card for the shipping already, so i didn't even need to contact them about it. so i got 2 shipping credits...

what is going on with vs nowadays??

I think quiet time is definitely something that's lacking in most people's lives...we're so busy with work, school, family, etc, that we don't take time to slow down and just breathe...that's one of the things i've been trying to work on over the last few weeks, just doing some deep breathing for a few minutes, and i think it really does help!

the hike sounds like a great idea too! i started working out once or twice a week (which is a huge improvement for me, since i'm happiest lying in bed with a book), and i think that's helped as well.

i also agree with your friend, and would like to suggest...when you have a task (such as organzing/decluttering your room), maybe make a list of goals and then set those goals day-by-day. so on day 1, you clean the stuff on your floor (papers, clothes, whatever it is). on day 2, you hang up and/or put clothes into their cabinets/drawers. on day 3, you organize the clothes so they are the way you want them. on day 4, you tackle your desk/bookcase/etc. on day 5, you do the laundry. that way, you're getting the work done, but it's less stressful because you're not trying to do so much...and if you're off by a day, so what? it was just " a little bit of work" rather than the entire room lol.

Actually, I got him Skyrim, Battlefield 2, and MW3 within the last month. No games left to get. I got him a new watch from Macy's with some gift cards I won, I bought him a gun for his birthday, he got a new Coach wallet last year, and he has a ton of guitar stuff. I get him things throughout the year as I know he won't buy himself stuff - so by now I am OUT of things to get!! I think I will get him a new robe and slippers though, I know he wanted that Smilie I just wanted something else too laugh out loud I spoil him. But he is so good to me!
How about gifting him a weekend getaway for the two of you, before the baby gets here? You won't have much time for each other, after the baby arrives. It's worth it though. When are you due?

Quote from annicus :

oh yeah i forgot to mention, i got my clinique package over the weekend and my bloom sample was in tact, thank goodness! i think it was because i ordered the elixir set, which came in a box that was big enough to "pad" the blushes - they didn't use any padding other than tissue paper, but the 2 mini blushes were wedged up against the shipping box because the elixir set was so big. sorry gh that yours didn't work out so well!
I'm glad yours arrived intact. I'm sure it was the deodorant rolling around that broke mine. They're replacing one of them. I didn't even contact them about the other. I don't really need two anyway.

As for USPS, I'm sure eBay sellers are going to have to deal with a lot of griping, because the shipping was slow. People are so ridiculous sometimes. They don't seem to realize the seller has nothing to do with how long it takes USPS to get a package to you. It was a nightmare, when my DH sold. Some people have unreasonable expectations.
