Hey girls!

All this talk about your DHs snoring makes me laugh. My guy doesn't snore, thank God!

But, we have an English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier, those pug noses are the culprits to all the snoring that goes on in my house. The Bulldog sleeps downstairs on the couch and I can hear her upstairs. The Boston Terrier sleeps in bed with us...and keeps me up at night. Sometimes I'm just amazed by the sounds that come out of such small bodies lol

Thanks for looking it up for me liggie & thanks for doing the math bella. That is a lot of calories for water. If only I didn't have to worry about calories.
Quote from earthdeuxbella :
:om g: 62.5ml is only like 2oz...that's only a 1/4 cup! 1oz = 30mL. so one 8oz cup of it would have ~180 calories.
I am sorry guys for the confusion the box is of 1 liter meaning ONE serving is of 250 ml (8.6 oz). I didnt' read it right before Embarrassment hope this helps better. Thanks a lot for pointing out Bella hug

Oh! Thanks Smilie


Scary article [yahoo.com] about Heavy Metals found in Cosmetics... some highlights include:

"Benefit Benetint lip gloss contained the highest level of lead at 110 parts per millions (ppm), which is more than 10 times higher than the limit set by the Health Canada Draft Guidance on Heavy Metal Impurities in Cosmetics"

Other products found to have the highest levels of impurities were:

Clinique
Stay True Makeup foundation (Stay Ivory) — arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, lead, nickel, thallium

Sephora
Sculpting Powder Trio eye shadow (Brown and Pink) — beryllium, lead, nickel, thallium

MAC
Sheerton Shimmer Blush (Springsheen) — beryllium, lead, nickel, thallium

L'Oreal Bare Naturale mascara (Black/Brown) — arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, lead, nickel, thallium

Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus eyeliner (Black Onyx) — beryllium, cadmium, lead, nickel

Almay Intense i-color Trio eye color (Trio for Blues, Brown and Dark Grey) — beryllium, cadmium, lead, nickel, selenium

Benefit Benetint Pocket Pal (Red Tint and Clear Gloss) — arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, lead, nickel, selenium, thallium

... this sucks. I spend more money on higher-end beauty/skincare products because I want them to be better for me than the cheap stuff, but it's just as bad or worse! What I don't understand is that all of these metals end up in the product as a result of manufacturing processes... what in the world are they using for machinery??
Now thats another OMGOMGOMG
thanks for sharing this too !

Quote from PordaPoddy :

VitaCoco nod I've tried a lot of brands and that one is my favorite too. I forget who is asking, but if you want something like a Pina Colada flavor- get the pineapple...but no, they are not overwhelmingly coconutty, just a nutty flavor to the water. It's good IMO. Oh... and yes tons of K+, great for preventing muscle cramps if your diet is crap (DH).

Pls see what I wrote above to azn~ I think they need a little time for the problem to become so prevalent that they are ready for your to request a different form of refund. I would say my "friend" or "sister" had the experience we described here, that you're worried and just in case- you want it changed.
thanks hug
Quote from azn1x6flame :
Thanks. I've been looking at these Conair ones [amazon.com], but the reviews are so-so. I have super long hair, well, really long, past mid back and I would need super large ones.

I guess I should look for some ceramic ones, but it seems like when I was looking, it's so hard to find for my size. I shall keep looking


Liggy got me one and I've been dying to use it, but haven't had the chance to. I know that Porda uses one and I was amazed when she pulled it out. laugh out loud I think it's very useful!
I almost forgot what I sent you but now I remember I thought to collects gifts in zebra pattern/theme and then when i went for shopping for your gifts i was like oh this is nice tooo, this is useful, this is cute and my gifts were mixed in random patterns Laugh

review:
this tunic [victoriassecret.com] I highly recommend to stay away from it. Fabric, style, stitching- nothing about it is flattering. I ordered it with 30% off code and its going to be returned soon.

@ Anni, what style of pencil jean you recommended? I know you posted review few days ago but i cant find it Sadwalk

VS has not sent me any bra perk card at all last time Embarrassment

anyone knows a good solution for snoring?
im still catching up in here but i do have a solution.. Breathe Right Advanced cloth nasal strips.. I'd buy stock in that company if i could afford it.. Dh doesnt even fight me on putting them on anymore, he says he can breathe better, and it cuts down the sound ALOT.. it def doesnt eliminate it but sure makes it tolerableWink

it wasn't valid online - it was valid on the phone.

i have the vs pencil jean [victoriassecret.com] - it was their only pencil jean when i got it, but now it looks like they have skinnier ones. i like it bc it's not as tight as a jegging so i can get the jeans over my giant calves. i'm not sure if it's still the same as when i got mine.

the one i just got that i decided to keep was the pencil twill [victoriassecret.com]. i also have the pencil corduroy [victoriassecret.com] and those are comfy too. i got all of those in a 2 - the corduroy is the most loose-fitting of the 3 styles. the waist/bum fits me really well!

stay away from the siren legging [victoriassecret.com]. that was the super tight one that has no stretch! but Dontknow it may work on you skinny-calf ppl. it cut off my circulation. i might try it in a more stretchy material, like corduroy. but in the twill it was awful for me.
