Everyone is liking the change in me since I have been seeing nuSO. They feel like I am actually participating in the "relationship" (not officially a relationship to me though). It is date night, so we are going to the movies. And he challenged me to dominos!!!
Cute!

You have to make an account through the referal link, after that you do not need it, they will send you the $10 off code in your email. So you can go through any cashback site you want, just log in/stay logged in to your account.

It's a pain in the ass cuz it is rocksolid. You are supposed to heat it somehow first. Otherwise you cant even get a spoonful out of the jar without brute force.
Also there is a film of coconut oil on top, dont get confused and think that is the manna.
Quote from leftie :
I forgot to mention this! It's easy to "soften" the coconut butter though. You can put it in the microwave for a little bit. Or if it's hot enough in your kitchen (70degrees or more), coconut butter/oil will remain soft.
Thanks for the info ladies This might even be a good thing in my house, my husband will be way too lazy and impatient to soften it, which means more for me.Coverlaugh

I've gotten lazy about replacing the brushes on mine.

I am also lazy about replacing the brushes in mine! I justify it as i don't use it daily so I can stretch it out longer shake head

Where do you get coconut butter?

i do this too, but recently decided to replace mine as the bristles started to come out! EEK! so i took it apart and it was DISGUSTING underneath the brush head.

i vow to clean under my brush head every week or so from now on. i keep it in the shower (i'm sure that contributes to it)... but yeah it was really gross.

I feel so Strong for not buying one, when everyone else was. Really I'm just too lazy to use more than soap & water on my face on a daily basis. laugh out loud I've already have bundle loads of products I don't use. : shake:
I don't know if I can be that strong. No Did I miss a great deal on them? I wish I could just use soap but my skin looks so dull if I do.

Quote from slickydoll :
I got my first Clarisonic in 2006 heart It cured my acne. I dont use it much anymore cuz I have these tiny spider veins on my nose and I am afraid of aggravating them.
Quote from annicus :
clarisonic can be used with any sort of cleanser... even soap! : lol:
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I love the clarisonic. I use it in the am and pm to wash my face. I just put a mild cleanser on it. Right now I'm using the Purpose stuff. I also use it on my body. I use regular body wash for that.
Quote from kurips :
Many of us here has the Clarisonic... as a result of enabling each other : lol:

I'm starting to see what you mean....... laugh out loud

Quote from leftie :
Your ques wasn't directed at me...I must butt in anyway laugh out loud
Like most girls in here, I have a Clarisonic that I use. I also alternate by washing with Philosophy's Microdelivery scrub. It has these teeny scrubbies which really get my skin clean.
I used to use Philosophy's microderm scrub and Purity Made Simple. Purity was awesome for removing makeup. But I found Neutrogena in the blue pump bottle to be just as good so I stopped ordering Purity because when I ran out I could just go to the store to get it.

Quote from leftie :
Still on the hunt for something to remove the blackheads from my nose though. The pore strips don't work very well and I don't know of any mask that can "suck" them out. Sadwalk
When you find something, let me know! I'm still looking too!

Enjoy the single life! As much as I adore my hubby and LO, sometimes I miss the freedom and fun of simple life heart They both have some awesome upsides! (Although I am sure after a week of being back with no one to answer to I would feel LOST!! HAH!)

I need to get my work done soon. I need to work my appointments around a slow week at work. Which never happens. Ugh. Glad to hear you are feeling better though!
Yes, if you are having the work done...jump into it. It has been three years since I had oral surgery to remove eight teeth. The good thing for me is that I had a better ortho now than I did three years ago...better braces (no rubber bands). This is also the last year that the FSA max is $5K (next year the max will be $2500). So it was now to have it done using pre-tax money.

I have been enjoying the single life for years. Even when I was in relationships because I do not turn over any control. I do what I want. However, nuSO is already "put together" so I do not have to mother him or ignore him. We are like a team. I am still apprehensive about being on a team though. #weshallsee

He is talking a lot of sh!t about his dominoes skill. #weshallsee I do get distracted when I play on my phone, so hopefully I will be on top of my game.

I have so many unopened VS packages (and other retailers, for that matter). He is distracting me from my enjoyment of my new merchandise. I also have not been CVS'ing or WAG'ing in a few weeks. #whatishappeningtome

I'd wait til Sephora does a % off code. Also I've saw some awesome sets at Nordstrom during their anniversary sale. There may be some codes floating around out there for some sites like dermstore or skinstore if you can not wait!

I make my own since I bought too many packs of shredded coconut from Amazon. laugh out loud

I read a lot of food/health-oriented blogs and I always see *rave* reviews about Artisana Organic Raw Coconut Butter [amazon.com].

I'm thinking about buying their single serving packets [artisanafoods.com] for portion control. It's way too easy to just dig my spoon into the jar!

Speaking of different "nut butters," have any of ya'll tried almond butter? That stuff is really delicious too! Esp. the one from Trader Joe's.

After every wash I always take the brush head off. Even so, it's hard to clean the little crevices on the Clarisonic. I'm a bit OCD with it though, so I use an old toothbrush and q-tips to get rid of the nasties under there.

I've been single for....too long than I care to mention! Embarrassment Blush
That's my biggest fear now, that when I do meet a guy I won't know how to be in a relationship. I'm so used to doing whatever I want, whenever I want. How to take a "me" to a "we."

laugh out loud I have purchased the Clarisonic twice and had buyers remose and returned it (unused).

Starting to think I "need" it again.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
It has to be the heartbreaker bra gh. Its $39.50. Without src you can get it, tee, and panty for around $30. Not the best, but not too shabby either.

I really need to educate myself on wine. Dh loves to buy it so I just leave it to him. I'm too dependent on him sometimes. I should be able to order wine by myself.
drool love wine, Costco has the best prices, I like to drink white when I am out (casue I can drink more of it Coverlaugh) but like to enjoy a glass of red about evey night. My fav. right now is a blend wine called primal roots.
