RETIRED The Official VS, Beauty & more Thread

. . .
Thanks. I'm about out of bar soap. I'll try theirs. Any recommendations anyone?

Mine was exactly a week from deposit to I have 2 more days until a week has passed
Ahh.. OK, forgot that yours were not from VSD.


Also last day for the Swim tote!
I always reply to order confirmation emails. Mine get responses 100% of the time. 1st email saying they got the email & will respond within 24hours, 2nd email is the response. Speaking of which, I was missing 2 SRCs in my orders too...
Thanks!

I don't know how I missed this, but the code BIRTHDAY on folica gives you a free sedu dryer and flat iron with $75 purchase. I actually bought this in a set when I thought we were going to get the rebate. I paid more than $75 for them! They're great travel products and definitely something to consider.

Usually, I'm pretty on top of folica, but this one totally slipped by me. It's a good one. If I didn't already have the products, I would bite.

The hemp hand cream has a crazy cult following. 1oz is $10, but buy it in this set [thebodyshop-usa.com]and you get 3 separate creams for $20. If you're a Love Your Body member, that's enough to get you points.

I know! I've always gotten 2 emails also! I replied to my ship confirmation, then my order confirmation, then ship confirmation again. 3 times, and I never got my "response within 24 hours" auto email response to any of them! I think something is wrong with their email system right now. That's why I was asking if anyone else has emailed them recently.
Just my luck...

Thanks!

OMG!! Happy Belated birthday~!!!

Which one of y'all biotches bought my hair dryer ?


There is a free travel dryer with $100 sedu purchase. Code: sedutravel

We haven't been to Joe's Stone Crab in Miami. I'll put that on the list for the next time we're down there.

I think you've got a good chance of making it to Ybor City using the VS bra to your advantage. Stay away from weekend nights, unless you want a more party atmosphere. There's a lot of restaurants & bars in the area that are very popular on weekends. I still wouldn't say it's unsafe. My DS has been to concerts there on weekends, & my nieces have been to the clubs. None of them ever felt threatened.

Do yourself a favor & don't venture far from the chain restaurants. My DH & I grew up in NC. The popular chains were the nicest restaurants, & we liked them. Emeril's Orlando was our first experience with fine dining many years ago. That was a mistake. We became hooked, & have spent a small fortune on food since then. Our bank account would have been better off, if we'd never ventured beyond chains in the first place. You've been warned. You'll either be spending a fortune on a meal or eating at home like we do. There's very little middle road. We do like a few chains, but not many. For us, that means we eat at home most of the time.

It sounds like you have a sweet hubby too. A good DH is truly priceless.

I don't know if you saw my reply, but I emailed them yesterday. They got back to me last night. I used this email [email protected]. I don't know if that's the one you used or not. If not, maybe you could try it. Good luck.

no! that is a question you need to ask beforehand. mine is free! (but i'm bringing in my own caterer - but they don't charge a cake fee - it is included in the cost of the meal)
it will depend on the type of venue and also the venue itself. most hotels and restaurants will probably charge, tho the amt will likely depend on how "fancy" the hotel/restaurant is.

i don't think all venues will charge - but it will depend on the venue. if you're only looking at hotels and restaurants - then you're probably right. they will probably charge.

I see alvs answered your Bloom question, so I won't repeat the info.




Definitely give Palm a try. I think you'll be happy with your meal.

We could do some serious damage to an expense report. Unfortunately, our bank account has to absorb the damage.



I'm shorter than you (5' 1 1/2"). Maxi dresses make me look dumpy. They're really cute. I just don't look good in them.




We're supposed to go to NYC in Oct. I hope I remember to look for Sprinkles.



They got back to me the same day, but I contacted the orders dept. That may make a difference. They didn't offer to send my order via 2 day shipping. I thought they would, since they sent me the wrong items. The email said it would be 5 more days. They are sending a prepaid return label to ship the incorrect items back. I was afraid they'd want me to return those items to the mall. It's a good thing they didn't ask, because I would have told them I wasn't going out of my way to return items I didn't order.

I hope you get your SRC.



Great tip, thanks. I'm going to put them in my cart for a time when I order enough to get FS.



I wouldn't want cupcakes as the wedding cake either. They're really cute for bridal showers & rehearsal dinners. One of my nieces had a wedding cake & cupcake tree. She prefers cupcakes, but wanted a wedding cake for looks. Most adults ate the cake & the kids ate cupcakes. Another niece had a wedding cake & a variety of cheesecakes. She doesn't like cake or cupcakes.



I think I'd find a friend or family member to server the cake. That's ridiculous! If my DS marries someone from Cali, I'll be glad I'm not footing the bill for the wedding. The rehearsal dinner would be bad enough.

I've never been charged extra on a cake I carried in either. We always add to the gratuity. Normally, they'll charge an automatic gratuity, if the venue makes the cake. Someone at MP must have really liked you. I'm surprised they put the cake in their freezer. Most places won't keep a cake in the kitchen, if they didn't make it. It's a cross-contamination issue. Regardless, wolfie was ripped off.



I got all excited for a second thinking PB had gourmet cupcakes now. I like getting their pastries, when I prepare a special brunch for my guys. I love chocolate croissants. We mostly have their pastries on holidays. I could eat them daily, but that would defeat a year's worth of watching what I eat. Diets stink!

I've only looked at a few hotels. You've got a pretty sweet deal there with your caterer!! I might ask you for info, if what I'm looking at allows for it!

I think the Hemp hand cream is overrated. It smells so over powering that I actually kept sneezing and had a runny nose. Mar i juana cream not for me. I'm powering through using the rest of it. I wanna try the others in their trio! I haven't found the perfect hand cream for myself yet.

For that price it better come with a stylist to come blow my hair out! :omg :




In the 6 years Iived in Miami I think I went 5 times to Joe's. It's where you take out of towners because it's where they always asked to go. But I usually buy my stone crab from a fish monger. They had a few good ones in Miami. It's so much cheaper! :yummy :

We haven't been to Emeril's yet. I wanted to try the one in the Royal Pacific Tchoup Chop first because I hear it's better than Emeril's in Citywalk. But every time we go we end up going to one of the resort restaurants because of my $100 credits or Mythos if we are in the parks.

I'll keep your Ybor advice in mind if we get there. : )

DH is a perfect hubby IMO, he even does his own laundry. I drag him shopping with me all he time and he usually pushes me to buy more than I usually would. Which is why I drag him with me. :lol :

And on the maxi dresses - I think it's a combo of having curves and being short that bothers me about wearing them. Even in my highest Jessica Simpson platforms I still feel like I'm a shortie. :lo l:

hmmm interesting - i just got that automated 'we'll respond in 24 hrs' email. maybe replying to order confirmation no longer works... i tried 3x and didn't get any response with those but 1 time to the address GH provided resulted in a response within 5 minutes.

I know this has been asked & answered a dozen time, but I want to be sure ....... If I return an item or cancel a back order that came with a GWP, will I be charged for the GWP? I ordered a swim top & two solid color swim bottoms hoping one of the bottoms would match the top. If either of them doesn't match, I'll probably return them. (Fingers crossed that at least one does match.) Should I return the tote? Also, if I used a $10 off bra + free panty code, will I be charged for the panty, if I cancel a back order or return a bra? I'm really hoping the Very Sexy bras work for me. If they're too much, I may return one & cancel the back order for the 2nd.



.

I will look out for the palms. We go to some of the cities in which it is located sometimes.

I love panera. There is one with a drive through between the house and ds's school. It's evil :.





Thanks! Are they travel sized?

In my experience I have never been charged for the GWP with returns or back order items. Worst case scenario- if they charge you return the GWP to the store for them to return and get your money back.
