The swimsuit prices are killing my frugal self. Stick Out Tongue For 1 top & 2 bottoms, it's $107.06 with the Spring12 code. OMG I'm too cheap for this, but I really want them. I'm going to end up going for it, because I'm weak. I already ordered the other top earlier today. Facepalm

Question: There's another pair of bottoms I want to order to see if they match a top I already have. If I add them to this order, then end up returning them, will I lose the tier? The order would still be over $100?

I just NEED more room! Kid stuff takes up too much room!!

Aww, she is cute. But cuter when she is happy. I know I will clutter the house when I have it, I'd just like more room to clutter up : )


They also have Aveda products at the Hard Rock in Biloxi. I stole a lot from there : ) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little facial bars!


Awww, that was home : ( I miss the D...

I've cut out all carbs, but I still cannot give up my diet pepsi lol...Good luck!!
:lmao : This seriously made me lol!!!!

That is the only thing I like on my body right now. I have and always have had wonderful hands and nails. People always thing I have fake nails (even though they are a tasteful length) and I always have them polished nicely. Nail polish ALWAYS fits ; )
I can understand wanting more room. When our DS moves out, we don't really need a house this big. It kills me to think about moving into our smaller place in North Miami full time though. I doubt I'll ever give in to do that, even though my DH would love to. It would feel claustrophobic to live there full time, especially considering our house has an open floor plan.

I wonder if HRH in Orlando has Aveda products. We haven't stayed there in quite a while. We've been going to WDW instead. My DH wants to spend a weekend at the HRH & Casino here. Scratchchin They may have them too. How said am I that I would look forward to staying in a hotel, just because they have quality freebies? Stick Out Tongue

I'm sorry you miss Detroit. Comfort I've never been there. It's been many years, since I've been to Michigan at all. The snow was beautiful, but it looked really cold for this time of year.

Gotta love Diet Pepsi. High Five I tried a low carb diet once. It didn't take me long to realize everything I like to eat is high in carbs.laugh out loud After a few days on that diet, I had to force myself to eat. I hope you do better on your diet than I did.

Lucky you with nice nails. Mine are brittle & peel easily. My moms were so strong they were almost impossible to clip. I don't know why mine are so bad.

Which top did you get? I am trying so hard to resist the urge to buy another suit.

No

We used to stay at the Hard Rock a lot when it was part of the Loews program. We go up there a lot to stay. It's like a mini vacation to us. I haven't been to the Hard Rock in 3 years since my platinum status doesn't apply there, but it was Bloom products they used. Loews onsite hotels (Portofino and Royal Pacific) use Lather. Since I haven't been t0 the HRH since 2009 I'm not sure if they are still using Bloom or if they are using Lather. I know it wasn't Aveda. Sadwalk

DH and I haven't been the HRH here yet. Have you? If so is it nice? How are the restaurants/lounges?

Stress is a killer. hug I bite the inside of my jaw too. For me, it's more habit than stress. I picked it up from watching my sister do it. I try really hard to be aware of it, & stop myself. I think I'm doing it less, but I occasionally do it w/o realizing it. That would be impossible, when you're sleeping though.
Ugh, I know! And I bite it so much that it ends up cutting a hole in my mouth, but of course, I have no idea. Then the next day, I can barely eat because my mouth is all cut up. I can't wait for all this to be over and go back to normal!

I ordered this http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper in turquoise tie-dye, which is back ordered. I wanted to get it ordered now, in case they eventually take that color off the site. I'm going to order this http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper in white floral today. I'm also ordering matching bottoms for both of them. I already ordered these bottoms http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...=WM-281722 in both colors. I have this http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...=WM-248424 on the way in turquoise hoping it will go with one of them. If that works out, I'm going to order a pink or purple tankini to go with the other.

We've stayed at the UO HRH quite a few times too, but it's been awhile. We've stayed at all 3 of the UO resorts, but usually end up at HRH. The close proximity to the parks always wins out. We also love Portifino Bay, but weren't very impressed with Royal Pacific. I doubt we'll stay there again.

We've only been to the HRH & Casino for a few hours. We've never spent the night. It's not nearly as nice as the HRH & Casino in Hollywood, FL, but it's nice to have the option close by. The one in Hollywood has a lot more restaurants, shops, & entertainment. We'll get over to the one in Tampa for a few nights eventually. They are adding to it. I'm hoping they'll eventually build it up like the other one. It's really nice.

Too funny. I'm a self described carb-a-holic myself. laugh out loud

I'm going to have my DH call about the "payment pending" status on his orders tonight. What should he tell them? I want to make sure he has all the info he needs. He wouldn't know how to answer any of their questions, w/o being coached. Teehee

explain things to him but i figure that if he plays dumb, they might be willing to overlook things.

Thanks ladies. I sent an email. The order status says to call, so I didn't think I could email. If I'd known that, I would have done it earlier. Doh That's so much easier.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it looks like it might highlight my belly bulge.



You suck your jaw between your teeth & bite it. I mostly use my incisor teeth.
i have belly bulge and it does not highlight it imo. also the fabric is thicker so it does not hug.

now you're making me try to bite my jaw laugh out loud

I got this palm print bikini [victoriassecret.com]. I like it a lot!! It looks better on me than it does on Adriana!!

Only thing is that the ruffle on the bottom is only on the front, not in the back and if the elastic isn't on right, it kind flips out. I didn't move too much in it, but it's nothing a little adjusting won't fix. The ruching on the back is towards the top, so it's kind interesting..but overall a keeper.

Now I want the matching coverup, but it's sooo expensive! C'mon swim code!

And the Goregous bikinis...

I may have to try their skirts then. Although, I never really wear them. I wear very few dresses. For some reason, I'm tempted to buy them anyway. Embarrassment

Yeah, it's the inside of my cheeks that I actually bite.
