question about vs returns:

i'm returning old stuff i ordered in my old address. since i live in a new address now, i want the gc refund to be sent to my current address. how do i go about that?

i'm thinking of putting the old address as billing (step 1 in the printable return/exchange form). then my current address as shipping (step 2). does that sound right?

eta: they will not ship exchange items to me. the shipping address i'm thinking is for shipping my gc refund to.

One of my fave whites right now is a bit too easy to drink....not a big problem in my book though laugh out loud
It's the Gewürztraminer variety.
I love a good gewürztraminer. If I'm going to drink a lot of wine though, I prefer something drier and milder in flavor. One of our local wineries has an awesome dry vidal and I buy like 6 bottles at a time.

Are you going to get the Clarisonic too? Wink

Quote from leftie :
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."
Oh goodness, these butter substitutes sound amazing!! drool Must try/get some day! We don't use butter at home because of their artery clogging properties, so we do without or substitute oil, but the thought of having butter-like texture and moisture in cakes! Yum!

I take my Clarisonic brush head apart every once in a while to get at it. The sad thing is that I can see the crystallized minerals from the water! I'm anal and I usually get it cleaned off because I hate the thought of some $200 thing with crystallized minerals on it!

I need to be like anni and use mine until the bristles come off before I change the brush head

I think you will be fine with the guy thing, you will know what would be the right the thing when you meet the right guy! heart

Quote from GoHeels :
All you need is a trip to a craft store to pick up some fabric, beads, ribbon & a glue gun & you can make some gorgeous hat boxes out of the plain ones.
I made the egg, tomato, & shrimp over wild rice tonight. My DH loved it. He finished it off. It was really good. We'll definitely have that often.

Do you change the heads out in the shower? That may sound like a dumb question, since I don't really know anything about them. I don't think I'd want to wash my face with it, if I used it on my body the day before.
Glad the dish tasted great! I hope you get the chance to try some others!
Good idea on the hat boxes! One day, I will look into that, I'm not a very crafty person!
For the Clarisonic brushes, they give you a brush specifically to use on your body. At least that was in my set. So I use that for the body and the face ones specifically for my face!

eta: the bonus points terms says one bonus point offer per customer per day. does that mean possible 3000 points? Woot

i called in about adding express next points to my acct. it has been 1-2 weeks and they still don't show up. Sadwalk not loving express so far... from the bad cs in store to not getting my points, they are not winning me over.

i got my clinique order from the day they gave 3 free samples and fs on any order. i got the bonus code sample plus 2 of the 3 that i chose, but not the 3rd. the lipstick mini was missing. Sadwalk i just emailed them about it but i'm not too hopeful.

i don't think i used my last clarisonic brush head that much longer than suggested - i think it was just a crappier one! i am using a delicate one now, and i'm on maybe week 2 of it and the bristles are already coming out! Annoyed i think i'm going to bring it back to sephora and maybe trade for deep pore ones, but i'm a bit scared of those.

question about dsw returns - with a $10 off anything coupon, if i ordered 2 things and used the q, then returned 1, how do they deal with the q?

rebought my target hats today - originally paid 14.99x2 - today i paid 14 x 2 - 50% (7) = 21 for both! woot what a great coupon. i found another hat i wanted also... how many do i need?!

Sorry I've been in absentia. We're having a meltdown in wedding land and I'm trying to put the flames out. It's pretty much a full-time job and we're only talking about shoes so far Facepalm Anni?- I remember you having links to shoe stores online that I had never heard of when you were showing us fun shoes, maybe it was for your B-maids? I've already looked at all the department stores across the US and all the obvious ones (shoe, shoebuy, shoemall, dsw, aldo, endless, etc) and I can't find what the bride is looking for. At this point, I've even been told my feet look odd and I can't wear shoes where the in-step is cut out. Bomb Send help!

Red wines- I like certain Zinfandels.. Merlot is too tart for me. I recommend the Zinfandel from "Powder Keg" / gray label ... this stuff actually has the aroma of BBQ believe it or not Crazy , also Paso Creek Zinfandel (2009)/white with label big black tree ... these are good ones to try from the store. I don't know how often you'll see them on a wine list... I hardly ever see anything I recognize unless its crappy or way too expensive. I love Rombauer - circa 2010? It's $45/bottle in -store, 2x as much in the restaurant. I hear this year's bottling sucked. When it's so expensive, you check blogs before you buy laugh out loud Anyway, when pouring reds at home definitely use an aerator likethis one. [amazon.com] Do a side by side taste test of pre-aerating and post, anyone can see the difference. It's a fun party trick. I think people enjoy a lot more reds when they do that. I know I do!

Actually, none. I read reviews on both suggested (were you the other one to suggest? I'm sorry I forgot!), as well as the body tanners. Reviews in the body tanners mention just mixing a small amount in with my moisturizer. So I've done that once and I like the result so far. (I'm using VS's Very Sexy tanner in a tube)

Kurpee, if your original order was on old address you are likely to get returns MC/GC at that address. I think porda had it happened and that is why I did my returns as a gift returns last time i did it. VS might find an return you the price you padi but that was ok with as long as i was getting my returns MC on new addy. HTH

ooh, i tried that denim bandage in the store, and then ordered it online. not yet here though. and did you just order the sexy black and white skirt? welcome to the club! laugh out loud
I ordered it before this shipment. Once I tried it on in store I was kicking myself for not buying it so on one of the $xx/$xx deals I ordered it. Just haven't worn it out yet. Thursday is DH's birthday so I may wear it then. Looks so hot on!

Quote from kurips :
i like the wedge tees too! very flattering and comfy : nod:

you should try the crochet back wedge tee for another variation.
I agree they are very flattering and comfy. Now that there is another $15/$30 I think I'll have to go look and see what is available in the crochet. Wink

I grew up in the Philly burbs and he grew up in NY. A lot of "mature" ladies like the leopard. I could show him a hundred young hot chicks in leopard and he would still say the same. I even opened two buttons on the shirt and put on my best bewbie bra ... still told me to wear it when he wasn't going out with me. Sadwalk

That is exactly what I do. It makes it mistake proof and it's a gradual tan. I hope it works for you!

The cheekies did this to me! I wore them to bed one night and they were so uncomfortable. I'll stick with the thongs. nod
