Alvsy, don't you have the Express Next card? I got a letter saying today that Starting in March, my card will be switched to that. Do you like it better? Is it similar to the old card?

How do they decide which ones they switch - billing address?

I think I heard a while back that eventually everyone will be switched. DH and I both have cards, and we both got the same letter.

Since you're a list you should be grandfathered into the premier level. You will get free shipping on all purchases and $40 double dippable bday reward. The rewards a different. You will still get $15 but it's for every 2500 points. You'll get 15 points for every $1 so that makes it around $167 for a $15 reward instead of $250. Rewards aren't double dippable anymore but they stack with coupons. I make up for it with the free shipping! I use so many coupons now since I have it!

Sweet....that sounds pretty good to me! Thanks for the low-down, Alvsy! I wish all sites did free shipping for upgraded card holders like Limited and now Express... *Ahem, VS...are you listening?* lol

And you can decide which order to use your exp rewards on. There will be a little box at checkout asking if you want to apply them. Sometimes I don't always use them on the next order if I don't know if I'll be keeping it. The free shipping is applied automatically like limited's is.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
We've got all these little tendons that stabilize our knees, and don't get a lot of action on a regular basis. My friend overdid it on her knee and needed a cadaver patellar tendon :ee k: . If I can't avoid putting the strain on them, I always stretch them afterwards - it's just a quad stretch (pull your calf to your bum), but change the angle of your foot gently and you can feel the little guys in your knee being stretched. I'm also affected greatly by cold weather/pressure changes - I was always told they were "growing pains" :rolley es: . If it's bad, I take an Ibuprofen to quell the inflammation that's likely to be causing the pain.

Lady, what are you talking about? There's a Nordies Rack across the street from the mall we met at last time! :gir ly:
Thanks about the stretching ideas. I usually like to sit on a chair with my knees tucked under my buttocks. I've done it for years because it's so comfy. I have a feeling that's part of the culprit too.. shake head

And by the by, I like shopping on weekends! Sometimes I wish my real life friends enjoyed SD shopping like I do laugh out loud

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Oh.. speaking of weddings- update on the rooming situation you all heard about before (backstory: DH is in a wedding, they want to put DH + friend + groom in the same hotel room the night before the wedding and me with the friend's wife and their toddler in another room Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) so groom isn't alone the night before ) So the update is... I'm now in the wedding :ro ll:

Of course, now they want me to stay with the bridesmaids (5 girls, 2 beds.... nope, not doing that either). :sha ke: :l ol:
Ugh! that's nuts, it just keeps getting crazier. I hope it turns out well, though. And I must comment about your creative skill - amazing!

Quote from annicus :
bummed. the MUA's that i really wanted are all booked for my wedding. Frown i knew i should have done this ahead of time! stupid dbf - it's his fault for taking so damn long. grrrrrr.

I don't know if Kelly Zhang [kellyzhang.com]is booked and/or if you've looked at her. My friend used her and I'm planning on using her and omg, it looks like she does a wonderful job for a decent price. She's probably booked, but maybe not one of her regular artists. I like the fact that they work with Asian features and she's like right there in your hood. The before and after pictures are crazy! Can't believe some are the same people!! But I've read some reviews and it seems like she works with what you want, versus some, that make you into what they think you should look like vomit

Hm..I hope I get grandfathered in too! But I don't use Express too much...Pray

I have seen the kabuki style brush in a different set [walmart.com] at the store. Yes, it looks tiny. I just wonder how people can get a good grip on the brush while using it. Or maybe I don't know how to use it. I'm still looking for another set to use my last coupon on!

What bra did you get in store? My store barely has anything and I'm not feeling this season's styles...I wish they'd have some nice stuff!

About the knees, that's probably why. How lame. Le Sigh. I need to stop sitting like that!

I read on yelp that someone said to book 6 months in advance, but yours is in the fall? So that's over 6 months?! Faint I guess more pressure to book the right date, or ASAP. What about the regular artists? Eek! At least now I have a good reason to put pressure on DBF, or push the wedding back a year laugh out loud

do you own any of her dresses. I bought a one shoulder from nordstrom and I love it.
I have tried on a few, but I did not like the way they looked on me. I was stalking a JS one-shoulder dress on Zappos and then 6pm, but I did not order it.

Obviously!

I am thinking that some new bra styles/colors should be released soon, but I do not keep track of that (surprising) because I do not usually buy bras at retail pricing. I am going to wait closer to the end date.
