Chocolate and wine are in moderation! I eat plenty of chocolate. I need to start drinking more :lol :!
I do love dark chocolate, but my waistline doesn't. From what I've read, wine isn't really good for you, if you only drink white or dessert wines. I don't like red wines, & they're supposed to be the one that's good for you in moderation. Unless, I've missed something & they're now saying white wines are good for you too. I probably don't drink enough of any of it to make a difference though.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
You should buy some for your DS! He will love it! IMO, it's sooo much better than chocolate!

Nutella is sooo good! It has 200 calories for 1 serving of 2 tablespoons. I usually just use 1 when using it as a spread on my toast. It's more than enough for me! If you're just eating veggies mostly, 100 calories is nothing! Veggies are all water anyway : P Least that's how I justify it.

This is coming from someone who is currently eating a cake pop! :drool :
A cake pop sounds really good at the moment. drool

Quote from kurips :
Free Chinese cookbook [amazon.com] for kindle
Thanks, but I don't have a Kindle. I think you probably need to read more than a few websites on the internet to justify getting one, so I doubt I'll be getting one anytime soon. laugh out loud

Quote from crazymonkey1980 :
I :heart : linen! I purchashed ones from a couple seasons ago from mjr. I live in those! :lol : I was actually thinking baout getting some more if they were there, I should have ordered those shorts you mentioned GH today, oh well.
Thanks for the review. Smilie I'll order them in my next order to at least give them a try.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :

GH - Hope you made up your mind on the linen shorts and hope you and Anni got some good recipes!!

To everyone else - sorry if I missed something important. I am just alive enough to not be considered brain dead. I am NOT looking forward to work!
Sorry about your teeth. I hope you have a better day today. hug

Breakup combines with shipbras and SP1230241 ($10 off bra and free cotton panty)!

Quote from oewiz :
H2s has a good deal up for vitacost, it is $2.50ish(shipping) for $10 of stuff, I even bought $9.98 and the $10 off coupon just took it down to $0 before shipping. You will need to use a referral link to get the $10 coupon though, h2s [hip2save.com] has one in her post if you don't want to find one some other way. There is also a hotdeals thread on it I think.

I got lots of bob's redmill and a coconut water to try. :yumm y:
Thanks. Can you benefit by sending a referral or should we just use the link? Do you happen to know of any other Vitacost codes? I looked yesterday & couldn't find one that worked on the products I'm ordering. I'm getting ready to place a large order for the many natural vitamins my DS takes, & they're very expensive for vitamins.

Allure Summer Beauty Box goes on sale at 12. Its pretty good this year.
Thanks

Quote from kurips :
There's a free panty from VS coupon at FB.
eta: I'm attaching it Attachment 1196288. It's free with purchase in store this Saturday.
Thanks

Quote from crazymonkey1980 :
lol, ds hates carrots, spits them out all the time! ds id teething now for the top teeth for past month or so, not so much fun : (
Poor baby. Frown Teething is tough on them.

Quote from annicus :
this is sad - i just had to tether to my phone to place my vs order at work, bc cashback links are blocked here. got the heartbreaker bra plus i went ahead and ordered that backless dress to try on. sad that there haven't been many clothing codes...
I want some clothing codes that work on everything too. Codes for bra tops & bra top dresses are useless for me. I know some of you girls like them though. It would be nice to have some % off codes that are useful for all of us though.

Quote from oewiz :
Has anyone heard of/tried coconut manna or coconut butter? I see it on the vitacost website and I'm wondering if it is as tasty as it sounds.
Coconut butter is sooo good! yummy
(I may be biased though b/c I absolutely love anything coconut.)
Think of it as being comparable to peanut butter in the way that it's made - with the exception that instead of ground peanuts, it's ground-til-smooth coconut.

You can actually make it yourself if you have a strong food processor. Simply buy a bag of shredded coconut (unsweetened) and pulse for a few minutes until you achieve a liquidy paste.

Bought the blue and coral Whee! I bought it in black earlier this year at Nordstrom. It's such a hot dress!
Cute! I love the blue! And coral is a great color for summer, esp. against tanned skin.

Quote from annicus :
how do the pink tees run? wondering if i should get S or M.
IMO, pink tees run TTS. I am 32b and get an XS for a fitted but comfortable look. I could probably do a S for a more relaxed style. The one tee that I have is quite long too.

It's low in carbs and has a greater depth of flavor than plain milk chocolate. I usually get an 85% cocoa content.

I think you're right about wines. I don't drink for my health though laugh out loud

Bought these shoes [macys.com] in black from Macy's.

Really cute and comfy - considering the platform and high heel.
Plus, they look just like the YSL Palais [nordstrom.com], but at a fraction of the price. woot

I'm not sure about whites. I prefer the reds. That's what I drink at home. If we go out sometimes I'll get white, but that's just because I don't want to look like a doofus drinking the red through a straw. I'm anal about my teeth staining laugh out loud.

i think it's only reds that are good for you, and i think the optimal amt is 1/2 a glass or a glass.

oh, speaking of hats, i got one last weekend from target! most of them fit my head, but the one that i love was a bit small. i had to try on multiples to find one that fit me better (there's always a slight difference in sizing between the same product IME). i got this one [target.com] (love!) and also this one [target.com] (haven't worn it yet but i like it a lot also). yay hats! they were 14.99 in store last week when i bought them.

I would benefit from sending you a referral link, anyone who makes a purchase using your referral code gives you $10. I pmed you my link, if anyone else wants in on the deal, they could pm you for your link and start a chain maybe ^_^ I'm sorry, I don't know any other vitacost codes. Frown

Ohhh good tip, I think I'll just buy it for now because it's cheap with the code and I'm lazy. But that is good to know for the future. yummy

I wear sunshine and exfoliate my face a lot so it's hard for me to keep it very dark. This helps.
