Hey ladies,

New 500 point perk from Tarte at Sephora. I wish it came with an Amazonian Clay Blush.

I've never had the liquid directly from a coconut. I have had fresh coconut flesh in Mexico & wasn't a fan. I made my DH finish mine, so I wouldn't appear rude by throwing it away. Teehee That's the only place I've tried it. I'm sure the taste can vary though.

ETA: The coconut flesh we had wasn't sweet at all.

kurpee, how many calories are in the Amy & Brian water? If my DH can't find it in the store, I'd like to know how many calories are in it before ordering.

liggie, do you mind letting me know the calories in yours too, since you have it there? I'm thinking my DH may have better luck finding that in a store. If not, it would be nice to know the calories, before I order it too.
It says 45 calories per serving Smilie
when you drink it, it is like water i thought it wont have evne 20 calorie laugh out loud but the box says 45 so it is 45 calories.

Hope this helps hug

~ UPDATE ~ * VS has no idea what's going on, hold off on cashing your checks!*

VS:
They say checks still show as active and that they were cashed. They will void them anyway and the option was to 1) send out new checks Nono or 2) put the credit on my CC Ok . They were going to credit me for the bank fees, but wanted me to fax the statement. I don't have access to a fax, but they wouldn't accept a scanned email attachment. Told me to call my bank and have them fax the fee notices.


...called bank.


My bank (Chase): They waived the fees on all 6 "returned" checks. woot They said they can't fax VS sh*t b/c it is a personal bank account, they can't send your account info out like that. I explained the situation and right off the bat they offered to waive those fees (*cough* IMO, those are BS anyway). She did it in 30 seconds.
They said notation on it looked like the checks were written from an account that was closed instead of over-drafted. Shocking



See above. VS was going to make it such a PIA to credit me the bank fees. Get VS to refund credit back to your CC in the amount of the checks, and ask about a credit for the bank charges. I had almost $80 in bank fees, so that made them hesitate. If you only have 1 check, maybe they won't be douchey about it. Comfort

Evillaugh
Just got off the phone with VS and they are going to send me a GC to cover the rejected check and the back charge.I was afraid they might ask for a fax but thankfully they did not.Thanks P

Lots of talk today (yea!!!)...

I do not like any of the good stuff. I do not like almonds, so I do not drink almond milk. I cannot stand coconut anything. I almost *you know* after tasting a Bahama Mama. However, someone stated coconut water does not taste like coconut. If this is true, can I get the brands that do not taste like coconut. There are so many posts on this, and I am mobile so I could not use any tools to save the related posts.

Regarding the returned checks, I had a feeling there was a problem with the account. I used to be in banking. It is a familiar issue to me.

Quote from annicus :
coconut water should be very hydrating too, so i think that may be a good way to go, if you end up liking it. it may be mildly high in calories - i think it may be high in cholesterol, but it's good cholesterol if it is.

i did sally hansen base coat/zoya polish - 2 coats/seche vite and it lasted about 10 days once. that was the longest ever for me i think!

coconut water does not taste like coconut flesh at all. like liggy said, it's a very mild taste. it does not taste like coconut to me at all! (i don't like coconut flavored things, or coconut flakes, etc, but i like the water a lot)
but i do like the flesh also - it wasn't very sweet, but very creamy, like coconut milk (which i love in curries).
10 days would be awesome for nail polish. I vaguely remember buying Seche Vite at some point. There may be some in my stash. I haven't bought anything by Sally Hansen in years. It sounds like I need to give it another try.

The coconut flesh we had wasn't sweet at all. It kind of tasted like vomit to me. Embarrassment It was fresh. The guy harvested it & cracked it open in front of us. Obviously, all coconuts weren't created equally.

That looks nice.

They're illusionists with a comedic twist. One of them is small & geeky looking. The other is much bigger with long hair that he wears in a low ponytail. They look like an odd pair for sure.

Thanks. How many servings are in the bottle? 45 doesn't sound bad.

Naturally, it would be higher in calories. The best stuff always is. That's still not too bad, if I limit the amount of servings per day.
