You can tell when someone is not used to having stuff, they like to show it off.
Yeah, I think what happened to Icey is kind of sweet actually. I've always felt weird about carrying VS b/c so much of their stuff is so loud. I've never had LV and probably never will, but if I like something enough like a bag, I suppose I would be "carrying it like it was LV" ... whatever that means.

Quote from longislandgirl :
i have almost each tote vs had in last 2 year and i :heart : of of those but i do not carry any of those on trips, air travel or to college but I see people carry it everywhere, which is cool. I just think if I carry it it will look like I am shouting in public- Look i buy VS lingeries ! but that's just Crazy me laugh out loud
...
Me too, I have a ton of totes. I use them to organize my packing cubes, 1 stores my beach stuff, 1 stores winter hats/mittens... I use the Black Friday tote for weekend trips to my parents house or in the car on long road trips. Alot of the nylon pink totes are perfect to store in your bag for reusable bags High Five

Quote from longislandgirl :
More than me its my DH who goes - is it comfortable? I am like oh come on forget that and enjoy your eye candy hehe... but he never gets past that. So I be careful and buy my lingerie in comfy fabric -mostly silk ones or lacie Stick Out Tongue but he admits he is not into lengeries -sometime he even goes EEK! thinking i might have paid a lot more on it. It seems like he does not have trust on his wife's super slick-dealing abilities yet Coverlaugh
Have you ever tried the whipped cream bikini? That's a slick deal sure to impress. Wink2 I'd save it for a hotel though, it's pretty messy Teehee

What if I do that, then they charge & won't refund my $5.99? Unfortunately, I don't have faith they'll straighten it out either. shake head
I have no doubt they'll refund it. If you call now, you may be calling after the return is processed too. They will refund it though.

You definitely carry too much b/c DS can have a carry-on and a personal item too. I'd have his bags bigger than him! Hahaha
I could get away with carrying more Teehee. Bags do become more of a pain when you have a kid to keep up with too.

Me too, it takes me forever to get through a product. Had to stop rotation because they were expiring and separating.
www.veilshop.com On the coconut water, it's definitely a healer, I drink it instead of water or gatorade on hot days. Definitely not the stuff you order at a Thai restaurant.
Also, there is a lot of variability in the quality of the shipments I've gotten. The packaging has its kinks and I would say about 50% of my Vita Coco shipments have had something wrong with them. It should just look like cloudy water. The yellow ones have gone bad. I email Amazon when this happens and they shoot me a new box. This shipment, the screw cap of one got sheared off and emptied in the box... Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) . Amazon CS is aware of the tetrapack problems.

Thanks for the update!
Fellow So-Cal girl, could you tell me about how much this stuff costs? I've been thinking about it, but if it's over $1k, I think I can just keep shaving Stick Out Tongue
I'm going to see what color mine is. I've only opened one, and I drank it from the container. I don't remember the color.

vita coco may be the least reliable coconut water brand among those in tetra packs. i remember now that it is my last choice among the three (vita coco, one, zico) because i received a sour batch. i forgot about it since all i've been ordering are the thai.

the new DDD bra's are great!
I'm waiting on one. A bunch are available in 32DDD. Just when I think I have a good collection of bras that fit well or close enough, VS has to pull this and keep me buying crap I really don't need. They seem to be going out of stock quickly too. I wanted to wait until SAS, but I might splurge come SRC time.

Hahahaha...yes, it stands for credit card. Years ago, when I signed up for my first credit card online, I tried to use IcyNiki. It said that it was taken. I was shocked, so I just added an E instead of a number at the end. That is so old. I should take it out. I do not even use IceyNiki for any credit cards any longer. Fun times.
Boy, I'm really showing my age here, but do they really let you sign up for credit cards with a nickname (no pun intended) like IceyNiki? I had no idea!

Agreed about putting food to lick off the body. It gets messy. Don't try it at home unless you have a maid!

I have a 40% limited code. Doesn't work on clearance.

look for the brands taste nirvana or amy & brian. there are with or without pulp options. i'm not sure if they have smaller cans available, i'd prefer those. the ones i've seen are tall ones (2-serving).

thanks. i guess i also have to tell amazon that my vita coco was bad. boo.

also, for those that have done gift returns, how long does it take to show up in your account again? i am anxious about that. i got a bunch of return confirmations this morning (package was delivered on tuesday).

omg the smashbox studio thing was so freakin awesome!!! i got my makeup done (they used a new e/s palette plus their new 15 hr cream shadows), they had a bar and lots of finger foods, and we got a gift bag at the end of the night with 2 samples (eye primer and mascara, blech) and a $10 sephora gift card!!! Faint that is probably the best 200 point perk i've ever seen!! laugh out loud i was sad that i had to leave "early" (at 9) kuz i was late for a meeting with a photographer so i didn't get to have my photo taken, but they had a professional photographer with a studio light set up and they were taking your photo and then giving it to you on a cd!! anyway it was a really cool experience. i can't believe i was almost going to miss it!!

i have crazy teal/blue eyeshadow on right now. i love it, but i def don't think i could reproduce it. they also used the green primer on me kuz i was all red from the drinks Coverlaugh. it worked surprisingly well!

azn - it was a vib email that i got maybe 2 weeks ago. you had to call in to sign up for it, and it filled up within a day. luckily my friend signed up and brought me as her guest. i'm so glad i got to go!
OMG, that's so fun. Glad you had a great time!!

I am going through my trash emails and I see that I trashed it!! Faint I saw the offer for the lipstick and I'm like..NAAAAH and deleted it without going through the whole email. shake head That ought to teach me!

About this, they should have been processed as normal. 7-10 business days. Mine have been about 5-7, should be the same for you, if not, give them some extra time, maybe backed up or something.
