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


Thanks for the review, GH! Smilie

Aw, I think admin deleted your link? But I saw it in someone's reply post, and all I can say is Yowza!! worship VS should hire you as a model because you make me want to buy the Very Sexy push up and the dream angels bustier. drool And I didn't even want them when I saw them in the VS catalogs.
Thanks. I like the way their models look. I don't want to be too muscular, just toned.

I just checked. My umbrella comes on Wednesday. Where do they ship from? It seems like all of you get your packages faster than I do. They must have more than one warehouse, since the northeast & Cali both got theirs today. All of the warehouses must be far from FL.

FB SRC promo will go on until next week! i keep missing it too.
thanks for review of swim tote! i'm excited for it. Smilie inside pockets! yay!

can't wait for my umbrella.
thanks for info. may be i should set alert tone for noon tomottow.

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

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.
It will fit just fine I think. It approximately 17-18 inches with handle.

i ordered the umbrella the first day of angels card release, so that was a couple days before you, if i recall correctly.

To add to what anni said, I usually get VS orders within 2 days after it is shipped. Sometimes it takes longer to process the order but once shipped it does not take too long , I think it is fast compared to how long it takes for some of you to get your orders.
<--- non vs card holder.

Great! I'm glad you found some of those sets. I love thebalm products! I think foundation is the only thing I ever use up. No matter what I use, I always seem to go back to my lancome, though I like the Missha as well...

I'm pretty excited for the summer. I haven't taken a vacation in 3 (or maybe 4?) years, and I haven't really taken time off other than when I was sick. It's just been one long game of catchup. Now, I can at least start presenting my work in cool places. DBF goes all over, so I'm glad we were able to coordinate these trips, He's in London the week before Istanbul, so it's easy for him to jet over to me.

I don't even know what to try by EL, but this gift is tempting me...I think EL always has the most attractive gifts!

Also, origins is doing an earth day freebie again this year. "Score a free full-size Origins moisturizer on Sunday, April 22, 2012 as part of the chain's Earth Day celebrations. No purchase is necessary for your Earth Day freebie -- you just need to bring in a bottle of your current skincare to swap out. And the bottle can even be empty -- the Origins team will just recycle it for you!"

More information here: http://spendlessshopmore.blogspot...igins.html
Sounds like you had a nice time! Glad Seattle weather held up for you Smilie

Thanks for the Origins info!! I'm soooooooo happy that it's a moisturizer!! I still haven't touched the cleansers from the last 2 years!

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

I read it yeterday some of you got big with in fb SRCs , thats so exciting Woot I missed it but how long it is on fb promo? or its over already Embarrassment !

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 Girly I am loving it heart

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 Teehee) its lose-lose in that case laugh out loud but it looks pretty when open Smilie
My umbrella won't open!! I am soooooooooooooo Mad I bet UPS stepped all over it because there are footprints all over my package!!!

I have another umbrella coming, I hope it will open this time. I need a semi-compact umbrella. GRR. I was so looking forward to this one!

I ordered mine the first day for Angel CC. For my CA packages, when shipped UPS, it originates somewhere in SoCal. Which makes me wonder if that's where the items are shipped from, or tracking doesn't show until it gets into your state.

It makes sense that those of you w/a VS CC would get yours ahead of me. I didn't think of that. I knew liggie didn't have one though. For a 2 day shipping time, liggie must be fairly close to a warehouse. Ohio would make sense.

Have you contacted them for a replacement? I'd try to email them ASAP, since the website showed they were OOS before the code expired.

i sold 1 or 2 of my origins face washes from last year on ebay. i still have a couple from the year before that i never finished using!! i think it's time i use them as body wash... laugh out loud (APW face wash smells like margarita to me, which makes me vomit when i use it. Crazy)

and i can't believe UPS stepped all over ur package. wtf were they doing, playing soccer?! very annoying. i had no idea you could use the umbrella code more than once tho! that is nice.

thanks for trying the stacking! please let me know. Smilie

They are probably all out because it was OOS the day before it expired, so I don't think I will have any luck Sadwalk

I actually love A Perfect World!! I have the moisturizer as well, and it smells the same...so maybe you should get the other one instead. I like the Mimosa more, I have that as well, and I don't feel like it's as oily as the A Perfect World. I am using up my old old face washes as body washes! Taking forever!

I seriously feel like that's what UPS does with my packages. 50% of the time, I see footprints and it makes me soooo mad! Good thing it's usually clothing, but like seriously?! Mad BTW, I used the one for Angel CC and then the regular mass one

oic! smart on using the 2 codes! i didn't even think of that.

i wonder if this is it! kinda looks like earth day packaging...(found on ebay)


on the topic of ebay, look at this listing [ebay.com].
isn't that ridiculous?! who in their right mind would buy that? it's soooo unsanitary! shake head and duh, it's a sephora sample. so dumb.

Sorry to hear about the umbrella. Comfort I would say contact CS anyway. They might have some returns or they might send you a GC as compensation.
