Big Grin


I've been using Perricone Neck Therapy right before I go to bed and I feel it's making a difference. I have two creases in my neck that I feel are too noticeable/dark? (hate them) and it has def made a difference for me in that area. Plus it's smells ok and I use it under my chin. It hasn't bothered my skin at all either.

I'm also a big fan of remede products, which have made a huge improvement in my face/eyes but I'm not sure that they have one specifically for the neck. I would think many wrinkle/lift creams could be used on the neck as well though?


Hah, reminded me that I still have like 8 "Boob Tubes" to use Big Grin I don't know if it does anything for boobs but I like the way it smells a touch like lemon hehe.
Thanks!

Maybe you should try it on again for your DH's benefit. ; )

I bet your hubby would beg to differ. :teehe e:
Was it like the bra's with the super thick padding?
I tried it on for him. He said I wouldn't have to worry about drowning. It would make a great flotation device. laugh out loud

Quote from Tizzylicious :
I grew up an hour and half outside of the Poconos and haven't a clue how to ski.
Most people can't believe I grew up in the mtns. of NC, & have never skied. I was too busy playing other sports to learn to ski. I can understand why you didn't either. When you live that close to a ski resort, you can be too busy living life to spend time there.

Quote from kurips :
i received the stretch lace tank [express.com] today. it's super long for a top. i can probably use it as a sexy short bed dress :lol :
Double duty top. Tank by day & lingerie by night. Bonus! Big Grin

Your little man is growing so fast. I love your new avatar pic too.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I would suggest trying putting it up in two buns after washing (half up and half down). I usually dry my roots and then I prepare if I'm going out, makeup, get dressed, etc...while my hair is up so that it kinda dries and sets. If I'm driving myself, I keep my hair in a bun and let it out when I'm at my destination and it has that beachy look. I don't put additional product in it nor run my fingers/comb/whatever through it. Sometimes I do spray it with hairspray.

But my hair still has that problem of falling out because it's so straight. : shake:
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that. I remember buying a product that was supposed to help achieve beach waves. Maybe, I'll try prepping with that. Of course, I'll need to find it in my stash first. I put it away, after using it & not seeing a change in my hair. if your hair doesn't hold the look long, I'm sure mine wouldn't either. The bun method combined with the product may work though.

Quote from Stardust42 :
Also curious about the umbrella code. Anyone know what it is yet? :look :
I'm hoping for a GP code soon too.

Quote from kurips :
i used to wake up in the morning with shiny straight hair (not iron-straight, but nice straight). at some point, my hair lost shine and became wavy and frizzy :mad :
eta: i think this happened in the last 3 years. must be part of growing up :lol :
Growing up isn't always fun, huh? My hair has thinned with age. At first I was glad, because it used to be really thick. Now I'm thinking it can stop thinning any time. I don't want to go bald. laugh out loud

Quote from IceyNiki :
I do not want it. Let's see if I receive it anyway...

Mine shipped and will arrive today. Ordered on the 9th, was BO'ed until the 12th, and shipped on the 24th. (Oh, yes...this is the bag I said that I was not going to order. #addicted)
My money's on you getting the umbrella. Evillaugh

I ordered on the 11th. It was b/o until the 23rd. Based on your timeline, we have a while to wait.

Quote from SunsetBeach :
Review:
Mini Skirt [victoriassecret.com]

These arrived yesterday (still waiting on shipment of racerback tanks to go with them). I ordered black and white... I think I'll soon regret ordering white (what was I thinking???)
anyway, I was nervous when I took it out of the bag, it looked too small for me. But when I tried it on it fit well, seems to mold to my shape and goes about 2 inches above my knee. So these aren't exactly "mini" in my opinion because I'm 5'11 with legs a mile long- so I was pleased with the length! The quality is decent with a little stretch to it. I'll definitely keep the black, might return the white...
Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like it. I really wanted that set in pink leaves with pink skirt, but the tunic is OOS in Medium. It appears they under ordered by a lot on many of the colors. They've been doing that on a lot of their stock lately. Annoyed I suppose it's okay I can't get it. If it's 2 inches above your knees, it would be a maxi skirt on me. Stick Out Tongue

Quote from kurips :
anyway don't mind me, i'm just crazy. i :heart : gh's posts and how she is so very nice responding to as many posts as she can :nod :

Quote from anastaciab :
Does anyone have any suggestions on a neck firming cream? Im leaning toward the strivectin, but im not sure why..lol
I'd like to find something to firm my neck too. I don't have wrinkles, but the skin is looser than it used to be. My jawline isn't as chiseled & my neck looks fat. Losing weight hasn't helped, & I hate it. I hope you find a product that works for you.

Thanks for the hair buns tip! I think that would also give hair some volume in addition to waves. nod BTW, I just remember that you've the exact same hair routine as Zac Efron [stylebible.ie]! laugh out loud He said he wash it at night and then sleep on it too.

Also curious about the umbrella code. Anyone know what it is yet? look around
Hehe, yes, volume indeed.

I used to work with a coworker that said she had super straight hair before pregnancy and after she had her sons, her hair turned into this super frizzy, super wavy mess. :don't know:

I use Strivectin. I like it. It's super thick so a little goes a long way. I don't know of improvements because I don't have many lines. Doing it as a form of prevention

Random question:

Do any of you have pet insurance? Which company do you have and what's your opinion of them? I was looking at ASPCA pet insurance, but it looks sketchy based on reviews. So I began looking at VPI, too, but its setup (for getting an online quote) is similar to the ASPCA.

Suggestions? I'd like to enroll before the 1st of April. Thanks!

Hi Empty! You can sign up to upgrade your flat iron to get $40 off an $79.99 flat iron at folica.com http://www.folica.com/features/recycle.

I use this one and like it more than my chi: http://www.folica.com/tools/flat-...roof-pouch

There's also a $12 magazine rebate, and a lot of us have received the rebate when our total is above the amount before discounts.

Thus, the flat iron would cost you $80 - 40 (recycle) - 12 (rebate) = 28, and you'll get some sort of cash back...and a flat iron that I think you'll really love.

I think it's all by the honor system. They e-mail you a code immediately, even before you send in anything, so it's not like the sedu rebate where they had to get your item before paying out.

The code goes in the promotional code slot on folica.com, so you should know immediately if it works.

My guess is that you're fine.

It is ridiculous. Why does their warehouse have so many problems? They need to do something about it.

As a side note, you must be really close to the warehouse. My orders with 2 SRCs aren't supposed to arrive until Thursday.
