Can we trade in more than one per visit? That would be great.

usually no, but last year dbf was able to get one for himself and one for me by filling out a form for me. he was such a sweety to go to 2 places (got me 3 face washes total). he dumped the remainder of my huge bag of recycles at the store that gave him 2 (it was a standalone store that's generally extremely nice and not often frequented). i couldn't go bc i had to work - i think he told them that and they let him get 1 for me.

hmmmm. thanks for the info! one blog said it will be sometime in april but didn't say when. i am especially interested in the bloomies one tho, bc of the blush palette. i would just order foundation but i don't know what color to get! ack, so annoying. maybe i will get some overpriced skincare instead. what was a good serum?

Advanced night repair is nice. I threw away the catalog already so I'm not sure of the exact contents. It was a nice gift though.

oh wow. when i try to add stuff to my cart in bloomies, it selects all the gifts for me except the lipstick. i guess they are out of everything!

this makes it easier for me to pass. i wanted the warm blush palette! maybe if i go near a store i'll take a look.

Has anyone ever noticed how much sugar Fage 0% plain has? I was shocked.

Never mind, I'm an idiot and shouldn't be reading labels while on medication. That was the protein.

I am not able to keep up with you girls talks here

I read it yeterday some of you got big with in fb SRCs , thats so exciting

I missed it but how long it is on fb promo? or its over already

!

I got new swim tote and umbrella today - tote is best swim tote yet i think because it has magnetic closure and side pocket inside for cell phone and may be keys. color looks pretty too

I am loving it

Umbrella on the other side is not so small to carry in the purse neither it is big enough to showcase on umbrella stand(sorry GH

) its lose-lose in that case

but it looks pretty when open

Thanks for the info. Maybe, I can get both my guys to go for me. Your fiance did good.

I'm afraid the only way I could be strong is to quit coming here, & I'd go crazy if I didn't have you girls to chat with. I really do need to try harder though.

Although, my sisters & nieces would be more disappointed about me not getting deals than I would be. I give them more stuff than I keep.

I keep getting sucked in.

My original match is never what I want, so I switch it a lot. I've given most of the polishes to my nieces, so I order the more fun/younger looking colors. It's really not a bad price, if you use the stuff they send. I probably should cancel mine too. I had my DH cancel his, after I received the first package. Paying for two subscriptions to mostly give away made no sense at all.

My sister swears by that stuff. She convinced me to try it, but it broke me out.

It wasn't really pimples. It was like little knots under my skin. After I stopped using it, they went away. I sent the remainder to my sis. I've been sending the samples to her too. That keeps her from paying full price for a bottle. She's retired, so it really helps her.

I hope your Bloomies has the one you want.

tone yes, but it didn't get rid of my fat, so overall I got bigger, especially my midsection

I tried a couple yoga workouts that are supposed to lean towards being a cardio workout but compared to running or getting on an elliptical trainer, there's no comparison. But that's my experience...

Oh, so yoga doesn't really help with losing weight. Glad you found out what works for you.

I got the Fabulous bra in rainbow stripe in today.http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper The vibrant colors are perfect for summer. I love that it's different from other bras I have. They're more sexy & this one is more playful/fun. It seems to run a bit bigger than most VS bras. I had to tighten the band & straps more than usual for a new bra to get it to fit right. It fits really good, after I did that. I wouldn't recommend sizing up. It's not that much bigger. It's a keeper.

Thanks for the review, GH!

Aw, I think admin deleted your link? But I saw it in someone's reply post, and all I can say is Yowza!!

VS should hire you as a model because you make me want to buy the Very Sexy push up and the dream angels bustier.

And I didn't even want them when I saw them in the VS catalogs.

I got the swim tote too, but I haven't opened it. It is cute. I'm glad to see it's also functional.

I haven't gotten my umbrella yet. My library & dining room are furnished in antiques, so my umbrella holder isn't a conventional one. It's a large antique jar that I turned into an umbrella holder. Living in FL we need umbrellas by the door for guests. The jar sets on the ground, so all umbrellas fit. I hope it's big enough to at least be seen out of the top.
