I didn't pay close attention, but do the rollers you all aren't having a lot of success with have velcro on them? If so, I bought a set like that once & threw them away. They didn't work for me. They do work well for some people, but not all. If you don't get the results you want with velcro hot rollers, you may want to try some that look like these http://www.folica.com/tools/hot-r...ler-setter. (I'm not recommending this particular set. I was just looking for a quick picture.) As with most things, you have to use trial & error to determine which type works best for you. Don't give up. Beautiful, soft curls are in your future. Girly


Quote from annicus :
omg you are such a sweetheart for offering!! it's okay - i don't mind waiting until i go to the mall or something to return. i've just been lazy and packing a box has been easier.

oh i forgot to mention here - i got my vita coco from amazon. i've had 2 of them so far. thoughts:

-liggy was right! it does NOT taste like the yummy coconut water straight from coconuts found in restaurants/supermarkets here... those must be the sweet thai coconuts. :sadwalk : i love the juice from those coconuts!

-i think it's a GREAT rehydrator - i drank one last night after a run (and my calves were KILLING me) and today, my calves are not sore! i am thinking maybe the extra potassium helped!

-DBF (or i guess i should call him DF now?) took 1 sip and made a face. he apparently hated it. probably bc it's not sweet and has that mildly sour taste. it tasted really funny to me at first as well, but i got used to it after a few sips.

so, icey & alvs - you may not like it and sorry for recommending if you don't! but it seems to help my body heal itself. and GH - it may taste like that coconut you had in mexico after all... tho you should definitely try a thai one. i have ordered fresh coconut water in thai restaurants here, and it has been yummy every time.
If it's like the coconut I had in Mexico, I'm glad I ended up not ordering. I was kicking myself for missing it. Now, I'm kind of glad. Hopefully, someone will find a deal on Thai coconut water soon.

Quote from kurips :
i think the hairy darker coconuts are older coconuts... and the lighter ones are young. i might be wrong. you buy different coconut for different purpose. i don't do groceries or cooking at home so i don't know what they look like when they buy them.


pricey hat! i don't wear hats.
The only type of hat I ever wore was ball caps, when I played softball. I was wondering, if I was the only one who didn't wear hats.

Quote from annicus :
i know!!! this has been the year i've finally finished some products... and i'm SO DANG PROUD. hahaha. i will have a few empty stuffs for trade-in at origins this year for earth day! i'm so excited! but ur right, i have trouble with the tiny jars also... like, i never have to buy eye cream kuz 1 tiny jar will last me 2-3 months and i accumulate them faster than that. i already have about 4 jars waiting...

the ones at the grocery store are sliced to be sort of cylindrical, but with a cone top. they are wrapped in saran wrap material... which leads me to believe that they are just the hairy coconuts with the hair removed. if they were in their original shell form they would not need to be wrapped. but again, i have no idea - it's just a guess.

btw smashbox fans, my friend ordered last month kuz it was her bday - but they ran out of the brush that's supposed to come in your bday gift. so she called and complained and they sent her another softlights. she got 2 for her bday gift! she said she got 2 of this one [amazon.com] (which i think most of us have from an LDL last year) but that's a great bday gift!


i can't wear hats. they're almost always too small for my giant head. : ( cute tho!!
I didn't get that one. It's so pretty. Nice gift!

Quote from kurips :
back home, not in the us. i don't have to do anything. live-in househelp is common. live-in nannies too.
Quote from longislandgirl :
aahhhh ... right !!!
Same for us too- back home nothing to other than eating :lol : and directing the domestic helpers what needs to be done first. I never put on weight even with all that too. but I developed my love for cooking after marriage and i used to cook because i loved to do it.
I still like to cook but not everyday :lol :
If that is what home is like, what are you girls doing here? Big Grin That sounds pretty nice to me.

i think i know what you mean about the right rollers for you. i lucked out on the first set i ordered, the remington compact travel. results were pretty good after a few tries. i thought i needed bigger ones. tried 2 more sets, the twilight, anfd just now anni's set, and my fave is the remington. i bought a 2nd set, so i have more than enough rollers to do all my hair comfortably. i'm thinking of even making it better by buying clips instead of the pins that came with. do you recommend the conair clips from amazon.

you made me think what i'm doing here OMG while holding a cranky sleepy baby LMAO




express is up but only the 1st page of the sale is working.

Got my sexy bra today w return label. Doesn't say anything about not being able to include other items. Does say that you must use complimentary return label within 90 days or they'll deduct the 5.99 return shipping

Also stupid vs hasn't included a single src in any of my last 2 orders. Wtf...it's like they won't give it to you until you ask for it. Shady! I'm tired of emailing them Mad
