do they have swimwear at your store? you should definitely try it if they do! or else, the arcadia store has a ton.
and thanks for letting us know about stacking - it was bc of that that i went! i totally forgot to bring my email ones, but at least i got rid of all my $10 physical cards. when i asked the girl, she was confused at first, and then said "we will take as many as you have" or something to that effect
Nope. Not yet atleast. I don't think I missed it, I walked around looking for the fabulous display. Maybe they will have it later on or something. I know they've had it before. I'm Bonking myself for not trying it on at Brea shake head

dude try it!! did they have your blue/green color there? i didn't see that color combo at arcadia. but i really like the flowers!
it's quite a bit of pushup, but i don't think it looks super tacky. it could be worse, i guess. (like the miraculous bathing suit collection, which is horribly fake)

I may buy it anni. I'm nit wasting a good q on it though. I'll use the 15 off 60!

do you know how we can use it? is it only for use at starbucks.com? or can we use it in store?
You can use it in the store just by printing out the egift card (that's what I did) or by loading it to your registered physical starbucks giftcard (What I would do if I had one/bought alot of starbucks, because you can earn free drinks that way or something if you buy like 30 drinks a year on it and keep reloading it) They give you a choice of which you'd like to do after you buy and redeem your offer.

omg, that's awesome!!! you got way better stuff than me.

it didn't come with one. you didn't miss anything - wuzzle got lucky!

you got 2 sample bags? i had no idea we could get more than 1!

i totally forgot. oops.

Oh no, I just went to 2 sephoras that day because I was running errands around both malls by me. Both bags looked the same as yours, though. I can't use a lot of the products. The BB cream is waaay too dark for my skin, and I'm not a big fan of sephora mascara. Oh well, I'm certainly not complaining. I love opening those little goody bags, and I'll probably pass on some of the goodies to my next secret santa (or spring santa if we do one)

Man! You really like it! I actually think it might've been the blue green combo or maybe the got a mint one at Brea. Facepalm at that time, I was looking for the color of the white floral print for the Beach Sexy line and was disappointed that it was neon so I guess everything left my mind...shake head

Teehee i'd really love to not have a class on fri, but i already cancelled last fri for the beach trip. i'm worried i won't be able to finish what i want to cover for the courses.

my sister's vacation day timing was off. could have been one week later, then it would have even coincided with ds's spring break. they could have played dance central all day laugh out loud

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I'm saying no to all Easter candy. I can not exercise and that is driving me bonkers :lol :.

Or was I already bonkers?
My taste buds say "yes, candy". My head says, "you're dieting, no candy". I like my taste buds better, but my head needs to win. Frown I ordered my DH some adult time goodies instead, so I won't be tempted to eat the candy. He just can't let our DS see his basket this year. Teehee

I got this dress today in the lolli color. I remember someone asking about it. I'll try it on whenever my boobs will go into it. I may can get them in it but they're still stiff so I may have to wait.
I really like that. The color makes it look very sexy.

Free anti bac sleeve at BBw with antibac soap purchase. These are cute, and I use the soap in my home so I need to get a few!
Thanks

Quote from Stardust42 :

I think VS cancel bo items if they aren't fill within 3 months. Did you place your orders a long time ago? You might want to contact CS if the cancellations were a mistake. They might be able to reinstate them or place a new order for them. Hope it works out. : )
Thanks for the advice. Smilie A couple of them may have been pushing 3 months, so that could be what it is. One of them definitely wasn't. I'm not upset about them being cancelled. There's plenty more bras that I want. Big Grin I just don't want them to flag me for so many cancelled back orders, when they're doing most of the cancelling. I cancelled two myself, because I received the same bra in a color that was in stock & it didn't fit right. That one is being returned & I cancelled the other 2 colors. I'm concerned about getting flagged now. EEK!

Quote from PordaPoddy :
:wave2 : Sorry I stepped away unannounced. Had to escort my mom to a funeral. I think I've made the realization that I need a go-to funeral dress... Between DH's family and mine, we're averaging about 2 per year and I'm always scrambling around wondering "is this conservative enough???" .
Sorry you're having to go through that. There was a stage in my life when I was losing someone close every few months. It was a really rough time. Thankfully, there's been a few good years. I pray it stays that way for many more years.

It seems I always go unprepared & have to buy a dress. Plus, all the funerals were attended by the same people. I didn't want to wear the same dress to all of them. For you, a basic black or dark blue dress would be good, if you don't see the same people every time. Even if you do, you could accessorize differently. If you only want to buy one, short sleeves will work for all seasons. You can always wear it with a sweater in the cooler months. I hope it's a long time before you need a dress for another funeral. hug

Strapless Romper [express.com]? Yay or nay?

I have a white embroidered romper from VS last season and it's a good throw-on-and-go thing. Not sure about this one, though.
I don't like Rompers for myself, too long of a torso for them to look right on me, but this looks super cute!

As soon as I find a contest that is pretty easy to win I will hook you guys up in here for sure. I will PM you with something easy and non frustrating GH : ) I hate the people in HD lol. They exploit EVERYTHING. I do too, but I like it to be able to be exploited when I find a deal lol.

DD is doing better. She is such a cool baby : ) I have NO idea what I am going to do when I go back to work in a week and a half. That made me nauseated to type. *sigh*

Girl - GO GET YOUR PAP DONE. I skipped out on mine for years and now I am going through colposcopy procedures and biopsies all the time. I just had the damn thing done again last Wednesday. Two more biopsies, cross your fingers everything is OK again - doc still hasn't gotten back to me. : ( You need to take care of yourself!!!

Yeah - it was the scariest time of my life! I thought I lost her : ( They did the apnea study at the hospital and everything came back OK. The Doc explained it as slow periodic breathing and a very very deep sleep combined. I have a hard time sleeping now because I keep waking to check on her. I think everything is going to be ok though : )

On another note, I went to buy some new pants today as I am nowhere near my pre pregnancy size and I have to go to work in something other than sweats lol. The lady at the counter was making small talk and asked me about my daughter, when I had to go back to work, etc. I told her the reason I was shopping was because I couldn't fit in my clothes and had to go back to work and was bummed out about it. She said to me, "Ohh, I know what you mean! After I had my son I was 35 pounds lighter when it was time for me to go back to work than before I was pregnant!" I wanted to punch her between the eyes. What makes people say dumb sh*t like that? UGH!

/rant
I would love a heads-up on the giveaways.

That's so scary about your little one. I can imagine how terrified you were. I'm glad it wasn't anything serious. Hopefully, it won't happen again, & you can start getting some rest. Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect it to get a lot easier. I'm still waiting to get a good nights rest w/o worry & my DS is 20. That's what being a mom is all about. It's worth it though.

I know I need to get my pap done. I also need a mammogram. Both require me going to the doctor, which is torture for me. Blush (No offense to the drs. here.)

You are going through so much right now. I hope you have someone to lean on. It sounds like a lot for one person to bear. I'm sorry I'm not close enough to help you out in person, but I'm always available to chat online if you need someone to talk to.

Don't worry about the weight. Some people are just clueless. I'm sure I did worse than you. I delivered a 9 lb. 4 oz. baby & left the hospital 4 lbs heavier than when I went in. Who knows how that happened. Valentine's candy I suppose. Coverlaugh Your weight is the last thing you need to be worrying about now. It sounds like your DH genuinely loves you. If that's the case, you carrying extra weight won't change that. hug

There is a 15 off 75.

If anyone is getting a 15 off 60 banner please post it. Last time there was 2 versions.
I have a $15 off $60 (+ others) email, along with FS for $125 order, if anyone doesn't get free ship & wants to place a bigger order.

Quote from SheenaMarie412 :
lol, sorry this is going to be one giant comment - thanks, girls! And yay for following each other on Pinterest...I really like it for home decor and craft ideas, and like azn said, a storage place for recipes and future wedding stuff. : )
I got so excited about the SRCs going active that I forgot about this. I still need to look into it. Sorry, Tizzy. Embarrassment

Quote from Taryn :
Considering this is half an Express thread now, I think my question is appropriate:
I think everything is appropriate on here, except for guys posting or looking for lingerie pics or hitting on people. laugh out loud Post away.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :

I want this one but the reviews scare me.
That is so pretty. If you have a good tan, you could probably pull off really bright colors. I'd try it, if it wasn't as bright as the reviews say. I'll never get that good of tan. laugh out loud

Quote from kurips :
is it normal that classes are getting cancelled for good friday? it's not a university holiday, but it seems students are taking off and i'm the only prof that is having a class on fri.

elementary school is closed too but the next week is their spring break, so i guess they're using it as an extension.
That's pretty common for places to be closed on Good Friday &/or Easter Monday.

Oh, and impossible SRC time for you who haven't gotten in yet!
Thanks for the reminder. I tried for the SRC to no avail.


Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Awesome! The dr said I am doing great! Super excited to hear that!
That's awesome. hug

Quote from Wuzzlefield :
:offtopic : So remember how I got the umbrella at Sephora, but not the samples? Well, I called my store and they said they'd hold them for me when I'd be back in town this week. I went yesterday and she gave me two different bags for my trouble and this is everything in there!

I was glad I called them!
Wow, you did good. Woot

Quote from oewiz :
I FINALLY got into the VS facebook thing after all these days of trying. It ended up being an annoying $10 off 50 but it still felt like an accomplishment just getting in : P I'm not sure if I am willing to do my sister's for her. >_>
woot I see those are stacking with the regular SRCs. I'd rather have that than another $10. The pop up appeared for me for a second, then disappeared. I thought maybe my pop ups were blocked, but they weren't.

at the university DH works at/I went to Good Fri. is not a holiday- classes were not closed, however a lot of students didn't show up, so profs let students opt out and do another assignment outside of class.

How was the weather at the beach? I hope it didn't rain a lot. You all shoud come further down our way the next time you want a beach escape. The only problem is after you leave the panhandle it's quite a drive, before getting to another nice beach.

I would probably like rompers, if I hadn't already experienced that fad. For me, it's a been there done that & don't feel a need to return kind of thing. It's kind of like big hair for me. Embarrassment I'll pass this time around. laugh out loud
