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.
Sorry, I haven't used the clips yet. I'll let you know what I think, as soon I do.

That nanny sounds pretty good right about now, huh? laugh out loud A live-in cook & maid sounds good to me all the time.

I read online non VIPs can get it from3/29-4/1. The umbrellas go pretty fast. I got one last yr on the first day. Ppl complained they were out the next day or the day after that!


I love it. It's big n sturdy and pretty!
Thanks for the info. I hope there's some left on the 29th.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
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 :
I'm so happy to hear that. woot I've got a lot of returns. I can't get motivated to take them to the store. shake head

Quote from hba123 :
Ladies, check your invoice/cc--I was charged $5.99 for shippping when I used this code. I called and they credited it back to me, but it pissed me off.
Thanks for the warning. I'll check my purchases closely, when they arrive.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Was this in an email or mailer? I hope that there's an offer code for online! I need a compact one.
I'm hoping for an online code also. Do you remember if the umbrella was offered online last time?

I really like the one you linked. Specially because it is 3 in 1 dress :teehee : It makes me feel that it is worth the price :lol :
You need to check in more often, so you won't miss anything. Smilie

Quote from annicus :
i'm going to the vib event at smashbox studios tonight!! :woot2 : :woot2 : my friend signed up for it actually and i will be her guest.
tomorrow i am getting a makeup trial for wedding makeup/hair! lots of makeup stuff this week! :woot2 :
That sounds like fun. I didn't even know there was a Smashbox studio. I thought it was only online. Embarrassment

You're smart for doing makeup/hair trials before settling on one for the wedding. Too many people book someone they trust, then are disappointed with the results. There isn't anything you can do about it, when the wedding is in 30 minutes.

The smashbox thing was a 200 point vib Perk from sephora. Supposedly they'll do makeovers, serve champagne, and give out goody bags. I'm excited!

And about the makeup trial, its super expensive, but I'm so dang picky that I'm just trying to turn a blind eye on the cost. You only get married once, right? I don't want to dislike my hair or makeup. Or look weird.

also wanted to note: i am currently wearing a julep nail polish - i've had it on since sat evening and as of today, i've had ZERO chips, and just a teeny bit of tip wear. Woot the combo this time was: SH base coat, 2 coats of julep, then seche vite. it looks like this is the combo i will keep using from now on.

the differences this time that may have affected my manicure: i chopped off my nails so they are stubs right now. this may be the most important determining factor for me tho - when my nails are longer they are a lot more prone to chipping.

otherwise, i didn't wait very long for each coat to dry (probably 5-10 min tops) and after about 15 min of letting the seche vite dry, i washed my hands.

it's spring break this week!

i don't have classes tue and thu so the night before, sleeping like that is fine.
for the night before when i have class i don't know... i'm probably not teaching very well those days LMAO

i sleep in the afternoons, sometimes as long as 2 hrs. it makes baby nap longer when i'm napping beside him. ruins my biological clock though.

the good news is, dh's snoring is quieter it seems, or i've developed immunity. and baby sleeps long stretches now. sometimes up to 8 hrs! he just looks for paci, but no more getting up for me to make his milk and hold the bottle!

that's an awesome amount of wear Anni! My orly "sticky sandwich" experiment didn't go well the 2nd time around with the orly polish (funny.) Right now I'm trying it with Essie and I'm on my 3rd day with no wear at all, and I've been cleaning a lot and was digging trenches for landscaping in our lawn...still perfect, which is impressive since my nails are pretty long right now!

Do you girls wrap your tips when you paint your nails? Does it make a difference? I never used to but started trying to after the Hard Candy polish had shrinking issues. It makes my nails look like the ones on blogs Teehee

I know, they are so F'ing stingy nowadays. And MJR doesn't seem as good either the last few months so I haven't bought much from VS altogether. I miss the days of getting bras close to free and clothing dirt cheap Sadwalk

I definitely received the stick umbrella via online. I believe I received the compact umbrella in the same manner.

One of my close friends is finally pregnant. I am about to go hog wild buying baby stuff. I am trying to stop myself from buying her a Coach Baby Bag. I hope it is a boy. I am just not that into shopping for baby boys.

That sounds like a really fun evening. With enough champagne, anything can be fun. Teehee Let us know, how it goes.

I think trial runs are definitely worth the money.

Thanks for the np feedback girls. It sounds like Orly needs to get a clue & make their np & base/top coat compatible. I've always used the nail wrap technique with base coat, but never with the np & top coat. I'll try that next time.

anni, you've convinced me to buy Seche Vite next. I thought I remembered purchasing it at some point, but I must not have. Dontknow

Boo on VS! Everybody is catching on to our SDing ways. It's getting harder to get great deals anywhere. VS isn't as enticing, w/o deals though.

I'm glad your DS is sleeping well. That really helps. Enjoy your SB.

So true. I felt someone looking at me while I was putting my shoes back on. She made a face and twisted her bag so that I could see it. I just laughed. If I was crazy, I would have said "mine is cuter". Nah, if I was crazy, I would have said "it is not Louis".

I wish VS was not calling me ALL the time. I always see merch that I want to purchase. I have not used the VS umbrellas I already own. I hope I do not order the new one. #addicted
