Oooh...I'm making a mental note to get the low-back bra. bounce I love dresses that dip in the back and I can't always go bra-less so this will be a "necessary" purchase. laugh out loud

I have a few VerySexy push-up bras in 32b. They don't seem to fit me very well though, b/c there's a bit of gapping between my bewbs and the bra itself? Hard to explain...but I wonder if I will run into the same problem with the low-back/strapless version.

Which bracelets do you have or recommend? I'm on a bracelet/accessories kick right now so looking to buy! Big Grin
Definitey need the bra! Goes super well with those low back dresses!

I'm not sure about the gapping because I just recently found out that in Very Sexy bras, a 32B fits much better than a 34A and I have about too many Very Sexy bras in 34A. Maybe just go in store and try on a couple sizes. Since it's low back, you may be able to adjust it differently meaning, if you need to lower the strap the fit may be slightly different

It's getting so close. Are you packed & ready? I hope the next 15 days fly by for you.
Nothign packed or ready just yet, I am just doing most shopping online and throwing stuffs in empty bag as of now so I dont forget anything I bought for gifts.I usually pack it all two day before i travel. And as soon as my exams got over I got under weather- so heavy coughing since past 3 days My intestine hurts now Frown But counting the days and It feels better to know I will be with mom in just few days Smilie

Wave Anyone know what this symptoms are - heavy coughing , headache on and off and fever and chills on and off along with body ache. I REALLY need some home remedies for this. I am taking Tylenol and vitamin C right now for comfort.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
I didn't know your mom is in India, aww poor loogie Comfort Hope you have a great trip! Origins, I wait until they do the super-deluxe sample stuff on their own site with FS... if you can wait that long.
Its ok I talk to her like 3 times a week and whenever she visits us she stays with me for a month or more, that is the time of absolute pampering for me Smilie Mom made food and nothing to worry about. If mom and I would be in same country I doubt she would ever come to stay with me that long shake head Plus I go to India almost every year so its win-win for me bounce

Quote from CrazyCatJade :

I thought you were a mom for some reason - but then I remember you were looking for gifts to buy for little ones in your family Smilie

Mine was OK - hubby was fabulous but DD got really sick. She's doing OK now, but she was miserable. We just hung out at home and didn't do much. I love those days!

Enjoy your trip! I am so jealous, you must be SO excited!!
Yes I am super excited Big Grin and yes those were all for gifts in family - we have like 4-5 new borns in friends and family since last year alone Stick Out Tongue

I made lai wong bao (dim sum custard buns) and am having them for lunch. yummy I'm usually not super proud of managing to cook something, but I never did think I'd be able to make bao at home, turns out that it's not so hard. Big Grin

Quote from Tizzylicious :


Yesterday my Bloom order came. I ordered some false eyelashes/glue/remover. I never tried them before but wanted to see how they would look when Dh and I go out for date nights. My 11 yo DD was there when I opened the package and lectured me on them. She said "why do you need false lashes when you have eyelashes?" "What if they look to fake and everyone knows they aren't real?" "What if you take them off and rip off all your own lashes?"

Facepalm
lol Smilie

I'm excited now! This bra would be a game changer for me. laugh out loud I'll have to make a trip to VS and try it on.

I never congratulated you on finishing your exams! so belated congrats! Cheers

I pack the same way. For weeks I'll "prepare-pack" by throwing things into random bags and making lists. I don't officially pack until the night before. It drives my mom crazy.

IDK what you could have...def some kind of bug. Just take it easy for the next few days (if you can), get plenty of sleep and stay hydrated. Hope you feel 100% soon! hug

I really like the white and turquoise. Deciding between orange and brown...I should just get all 4. laugh out loud
i have the turquoise now. ordered the black and brown during the tick tock. i could have gotten a better deal if i knew they'd have a $15 off $30.
Quote from longislandgirl :

i know, but you'll have to buy a full pack of beads. each set is 4 kinds of beads + the stretch string + the effort. i'd pay $5 and i'll have them ready to slip on my wrist. the full price of $15, i may have to think about.

i remember long time ago i wanted to buy crochet headband from claire's. my mom told me she can make them for me. i bought the yarn and the garter and she worked on them. by the end, i think i ended up spending the same amount of $ plus my mom had to do the labor.

It is only good that it hit me right after my exams got over. I am just halfway thru my studies yet, a looooong way to go. But I like being a student Smilie

Sounds like your bao came out soo good! Taro mantou for me! drool We just made fishballs at home recently and it came out fabulous!! It's as easy as throwing in fileted tilapia or whatever have you into a food processor until it's goo-like, take out out, rub it with your hands, shape into circles, drop into cold bowl of water and use for cooking and viola!!

Liggy, alvys is right, you have the flu. You need to really rest. I had the flu for a month back in January and it was killer. Got all the same symptoms as you. Get some cold medicine and lots of water and stay in bed!! Make DH pack! You want to be well when you go on vacation! nod

Thanks for confirming ladies. I never get so much coughing with flu so i was thinking may be its something more than just flu. I guess time to find out Theraflu from medicine box.
