Me too, but I think someone was asking. Mine from last year are sill in the plastic wrapper somewhere in my closet. Don't know why I'm excited about these Teehee!
I was asking! I haven't used mine yet. I have 2 and the only time I took it out was to let DBF use because I didn't have any extra new towels! He didn't care! hehe!
Quote from GoHeels :
I sent my returns in a overstuffed, large VS bag. Maybe, I shouldn't do that. Dontknow

Thanks, does it have a date? I looked for the email, but didn't get it.
I think you will be okay sending it back in a VS bag. I have, but if it doesn't fit, I used to use a box.

Icey said the towels run 5/10-13

Quote from tarribear :
same here, I wonder if it looks that same as last years
Icey said it has a heart on it. Did the one from last year also have a heart? I can't remember. I thought it was all just stripes.

Wave i went to express today. tried this dress [express.com] on... super slimming! i had to call dh to see me in it in the dressing room because i looked so thin Teehee but it's meant for taller girls, i had to pull it up the shoulders to match my body.

wasn't this sweater [express.com] available during the bogo half? super cute!!! i tried it in the blue but i remember the stripes are not as white as it is in the picture, more like cream. i need it to go on sale!

ended up just returning some stuff, came out empty handed laugh out loud made dh happy. for now... i made mental note of what i'll be ordering in the future Evillaugh

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Bridezilla update.
We left the shoe subject and moved to putting together the bachelorette party. That was refreshing until the bride refused to back out of the planning EEK! We're renting a house on a lake and she was scrutinizing the carpet :facepa lm: , looked at our booze list and was vetoing things from it that she didn't like. (Yo, you can drink your carbonated piss, but we have to plan for the guests.) I tried to get her to back out of the planning process b/c at least part of it is supposed to be a surprise right? She got to choose where, and what... now we're just hammering out details but bride's sister insists she doesn't want any surprises. I told them to plan it themselves and let us know when to show up, but they don't want that either. Now they've got a full-scale bridesmaid mutiny on their hands with all of us thinking about backing out.
Why does this have to be so hard? :headb ang:
You are a nicer person than me! I hope all of this nonsense is over for you soon. hug
Quote from Taryn :
Looking for opinions:

One of my friends on FB has been doing a juice fast for 9 days and has lost ~14 lbs. She began by drinking Odwalla and other organic "smoothie"-type beverages, then borrowed someone's juicer and has been making her own out of fruits and vegetables.

I'm kind of interested because the drinks she's blending look delicious, but the drastic reduction in calories worries me and makes me wonder if it's totally healthy/more trouble than it's worth. I'd also be nervous about headaches. But has anyone done a juice fast like this? Is it a waste of time at the end of it?
I find I have the best luck cutting out carbs and increasing my water intake. I've never done a juice fast, I like food too much!!

Quote from azn1x6flame :
His justification for having his 3 guitars and not knowing how to play them is that he got video games to teach him where he can hook up the guitar to the console and learn :sh ake: We just had a long conversation about all the games he wants to get me in the future shake head and how I'd rather him save his money.

I'm not really sure about the living situation in the future just because of my pets. Hopefully we can have something set up together, kind of like what you're talking about and I think I'm just going to put what I would spend away just for our future. Hoping he'll take the lead. But it sounds like I would be doing something similar to you, saving up as much as I could and show him and ground him.


Enjoy your vacation, get away from Bridezilla and thanks for your wise words!
Hope you guys can get on the same page soon. It's hard, but definitely worth it. Good luck hug

:bi geye: Wow! Thanks for swatching!

You're not making it any easier for me to choose between Naked 1 or 2 though. :t ee hee:
I found Naked 1 to be a bit warmer toned and Naked 2 to be cooler...so I stuck with Naked 1.

Quote from Taryn :
That's what I've been doing to lose weight, and it works just fine. Plus I feel like losing 14 lbs. in 9 days (or whatever) is too fast... and likely all water weight, anyway.

I could just make my own juice and enjoy it for what it is alongside water. I like food too much to go on a juice fast, I think. And I hate feeling hungry. :n ono:
I HATE and cannot stand feeling hungry. I won't do anything where that happens.
Quote from Taryn :
nod A while ago (over a year at this point... nearly two), BF and I totally changed our diets and cut out most processed/artificial foods. Very few preservatives, no artificial colorings/flavorings. So we can't really shop at "normal" grocery stores like Shaw's or Stop and Shop because they only have one, maybe two all-natural aisles. We spend our food budget at Trader Joe's and sometimes Whole Foods for stuff that TJs doesn't carry, but most of the stuff at TJs is off-label products found at WF anyway. (And TJs is "cheap", at least for us--we spend max $70/week on food for two people. Usually around $50.)

I have a lot more energy, clearer skin, etc. since making the switch. Now nearly all I drink is water, milk, and coffee--no soda or soft drinks. We'd love to go all-organic but don't have the money right now, so we do what we can. I've tried to go all-natural with health and beauty products, too, but that's more difficult. I'm getting better at it, though.

I'd rather get aboard the "taking care of yourself" train now, in my mid-twenties, then when I'm 45 and weight 200 lbs. from living on Ring Dings and ramen noodles through graduate school. : )
This is what I believe to be the best philosophy and plan. Hard to do, but worth it! Congrats to you guys for being so diligent so young! I wish I had a TJ's nearby Frown
Quote from Tizzylicious :
Noooo but I'm eyeing it. I want to try the thickening lotion. I've heard good things about the line tho. :n od:

I'm jealous of you ladies with TJ's and WF close by. I have neither. :sa dwalk:
I don't have either one nearby either : (

:l ol: that's how big the full size moisture surge is too! it lasted me a long time.

thanks for the HU! wish i had printed that out before i went to the mall today. oh well!

saw this in macys - lancome gwp with $35 purchase. they were doing preorders. sorry it's sideways.
TY for the HU on the Lancome GWP
Quote from tarribear :
there is no rhyme or reason to the coupon mailing list, I think those that spend more get less coupons or buy something often, like monthly. It seems the same has happened to me with BBW, I don't get them that often but my dd is now getting them, the last two are for her. I wonder if they got it off an entry form for a drawing, because she gives her home phone number, oh wait her cell may say her name when she gives them her number.
I can NEVER get coupons!

To whoever was asking about the weird message with the robe, I got the same thing. Then I placed an order and now my order history has disappeared. That is never a good thing.


Has anyone seen Sheena around? Hope she is doing OK Smilie

How short did it come up on your legs? I love their minis like this dress so I can't wait to try this one out.

Oh I like this one! Is it a lightweight sweater and can be worn in summer?

it is holding 2 dozens for me right now. that's why i am buying a 2nd one, i want to put less in it Teehee the more belts, the heavier, the bigger the gap becomes, it becomes less easy to spin it around to get to the belt you want. i don't think it's the belt count, but the weight of the belts.

this petite lady talks about belts [youtube.com], and featured this organizer. (useful info)

my express return today was weird. the lady kept the bottom part (mailing return form and return label). i asked her if i can have it back, since no one has taken it ever before. she said she has to keep it since i am supposed to mail them in if i return them, and she seems confident about it. is this correct?

also, i told yall about the extra 1000 bonus points i received. i tried to figure out which order it was from. it looks like it was from the day before the promo started.
