IDK... but I think that's a good quality about us sample hoarders ~ we can appreciate just about anything - even if it's free, comes wrapped in foil and weighs in at 0.00007oz, that's as good as gold! Laugh
I also use it for hand-washing some clothing (when I'm not using Dawn), but that might be risky. Probably OK for bras though? (Pro that would know = Aznflame look around )
Oh yes, the size is great for those oversized beach towels. It's just that I don't remember them all being so big.
Hahah yes- but is DH not happy you can carry his stuff for him too? Evillaugh Thanks- I just got it in the mail today- that was SO fast! They are pretty bad at packing stuff. They re-used a box but didn't re-tape the bottom so the bottom was falling out when I got it
Haha, yes, it's nice to appreciate everything, but it's terrible being able to let ANYTHING go shake head especially for sentimental value or the fact that..."I can still use this later XYZ years down the road" shake head

Not sure about using body wash to wash clothes. But, I think it should be okay. I've used regular hand soap for small spots I want to quickly fix up, so I don't see how it's much different aside from consistency. Sometimes I think it's even gentler. Perhaps anything with alcohol, I'd stay away from, don't want it to hurt the fabric.

Yes! This is it! Kinda scary, huh? Makes you look at it differently!
Where's K? look around

Those orders on my DH's acct. still say payment pending. Do you think it will be okay to place another order on that acct? There's a few swimsuits I want, & this is a good time to order them.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
That sucks GH! I think I'm putting a lot of places on my black list if they've made me angry or didn't resolve a problem. Like Alvsy said, I really really like Nordstroms. I remember this one time that I every bought from them online, I wanted to get the Clarisonic and it's supposed to come with a free gift, but it wasn't adding to my cart so I did a live chat because I still saw all the promos and they said it was out, but she said she needed to go search around and magically found one for me! I felt soo special. Sometimes shopping in store can be different, you know, judgement from the SAs and all, which really ticks me off.
With so many stores offering GWPs, I think Bloomingdales is now off my list of places to order from. There's too many options to order from a company with poor CS.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
That's VS for you!! Super inconsistent sizing! : shake:

I hope all gets sorted out with your DH's account, it sucks!
Thanks hug

Quote from kurips :
i haven't had soda for 48 hrs :faint : just because we don't have any at home. i'm thinking we just shouldn't buy them, then there's nothing to resist.

next up, junk food!
You're stronger than I am.

Aveda was from Marriott. I don't remember if it was the JW Marriott or Renaissance. It was super urban (either SF or Seattle).
Thanks for the Aveda info. How are you feeling? Is your back doing better?

Quote from ayoungpretender :
Is that tankini similar to the retro triangle top [victoriassecret.com]? That's one of the few styles that actually fit. I just went through my bathing suits and there's only like 2 or 3 I'm happy with. Shopping for bathing suit tops is one of the most frustrating things for me. I just got the Biofit top today and I have to return it. I have the Gorgeous one on backorder too. It looks really cute, but I'm probably not going to like it because it doesn't sound like the padding is removable.
The tankini cups are very similar to that. One of them fit, but the other 2 didn't. Dontknow How do I put this delicately? If it moved just a bit, I wouldn't be worrying about show through. I would have been showing all. They were that close to the top of the fabric. EEK!

SUITUP = Free ship w/ $50 swimwear purchase. Exp. 4/12
Thanks

Quote from teenbean :
Figures that Mountain Dew is the worse. I'm trying to cut down on it. Currently drinking two cans a day, I am trying to cut down to 1 can.
Yay, another rebel! High Five I couldn't survive w/o my Diet Pepsi. I drink more than 2 a day though. Embarrassment Water isn't my friend. It makes me nauseous, unless I'm really hot or I drink it while eating some fruits. Most of the time I drink nothing but Diet Pepsi. I know I need to do better. I need to buy something to flavor the water & give that a try.

Chocolate and wine are good for you in moderation!

I don't drink much. I mostly drink wine when I do. I should drink more since it's supposed to be good for you!

I drink coffee. I have to have caffeine in the morning and I think it's better for you than soda.

....
can you place the swimsuit orders on your account? you have an egc tho huh...

when you say the egc is linked to that account, did you already activate it on that acct? if not, you could activate it on ur acct. otherwise, i don't know... i would call and ask what's going on - it's not like you abused any codes or anything - i think it would help to call, just to figure out what's going on, rather than wait blindly.

and yeah! bloomies does seem much worse compared to nords. if it weren't for that blush palette i wouldn't have wanted that gwp so badly! i'm glad i bought it in store now. i just happened to be at a mall with a bloomies.

yes, drink more - it's good for you. laugh out loud

coffee has antioxidants! but if you add dairy to it, it makes it less good for you, somehow.

i don't add sugar to my coffee - just cream. guess i'm not a huge sugar fan. i generally hate sugary drinks - they make me thirsty. i love water, and now coconut water.

I actually have a suit like that that I wear occasionally. I would get rid of it, but it's so cute. It's one of the old balconet ones, black with white polka dots in 34D. I wish they could just make cute suits in the same size range they make their bras, I feel like I'm always compromising on fit or style. I've had a lot of trouble with inconsistencies in VS sizing too. One summer I ordered 3 of the same style in different colors and they were all different.
