If it does, please post a review. I'll likely order tonight with my reward while they are still on sale.

how much was it at costco? i will def look for this!

i have a LOT of hair that takes a long time to dry... even with my solia it takes me 15-20 min. with those hotel ones tho, i feel like it takes an hour... i usually have to dry some, then take a break, then dry some more. very annoying!
I have the same problem. On vacation, I usually dry my hair a little, then go eat breakfast (or lunch, depending on when we get up Teehee). That lets it air dry awhile. Then I come back & finish drying it. If I don't have time for an air dry assist, I make my DH help me dry it. My arm gets tired after awhile, & my arthritic fingers usually need a break.

Quote from red333 :
I know what you mean. My hair isn't thick, but it's long. It's almost to my elbows, so it takes forever to dry. If I don't dry it with a dryer, it will just stay wet for days if I put it up in a bun. The Chi dryer is really strong, and there's a switch that you flip to go from one voltage to another. It's so easy, and it's SO good.

I paid $70 from Costco before I was going to Japan in 2007. It was pricey but definitely worth every penny. The travel dryer is almost as good as the one I use on a daily basis.

I saw them for $100 at Nordstrom Rack a few years ago, and I saw the dryer itself for $25 when Trade Secret was clearing out their stuff last summer. They are known to pop up here or there.
If you find another great deal like the Trade Secret deal, please let us know. Please That was an amazing price.

That sequined striped dress is prettier in person. The stripes aren't as bold and the sequins tiny. Y'all should consider it too. Great for the holidays plus it's cheap and sexy.

She probably tried to go too dark. I always do the light. The medium makes me orangy.
I don't know what she was trying for. It doesn't help that she's as fair as I am. She also has a lot more red in her hair than I do. Hers is strawberry blond. I just have random red streaks that only show, when my hair lightens in the summer. Neither of us tan easily. It would probably work better for people who tan well.

She needs to go as light as possible. Did she do a spray tanning booth or have it custom applied?

Also, since we've been talking about weddings so much, the bride finally assigned our dress. This is a wedding I'm SUPER excited for.

The dress is $250. I'm really not happy about that, but at least it's really pretty. You can wear it 15 different ways [thewhitedressbytheshore.com] (which I'm not too keen on), but I like the standard strapless version [nordstrom.com]. She's getting it in the color plum, which is going to be super flattering with my red hair.

She said we can get it from Nordstrom, but I can't find it anywhere else online. If anyone knows how I can get a deal on this dress, please let me know. Otherwise, I noticed it was one of Nordstrom's standard dresses on their site, not just a special bridal dress. Perhaps it will go on sale eventually...some other Jenny Yoo dresses are on sale at least...that gives me hope.
Beautiful dress!!!!!

Thanks. I didn't know what it was. I joined, but it's for Facebook. I thought it was for mobile. It said to claim GC, but it can only be done via a specific link on Wrapp. I wonder if that will affect CB sites? Mad GC is online only.

Estee Lauder GWP http://www.esteelauder.com/promot...deluxegift. Requires a $45 purchase & the makeup set is $42.50. Boo EL! It's a pretty good GWP though. Shipping is free, of course.

I think she went to a tanning booth, but I'm not sure.

Dress shopping completed with my bride friend. She ended up with a beautiful Olec Cassini dress from David's Bridal. We had a wonderful consultant at David's who left us alone and just brought dresses my friend really liked. Went to Alfred Angelos and they were terrible. I would never never go to that store again. We tried on BM dresses at David's too and now she's wanting to have everyone wear different dresses or alternate between two.

One shoulder in plum [davidsbridal.com]
And cowl neck dress also in plum [davidsbridal.com]. This dress makes me look like I have an impossibly small waist! bounce

If you gals happen to see anything like these two styles elsewhere, please let me know! The other BM I went with did not seem happy about the price point. I am fine with $100 for either dress because it has many wear again potential.

Porda - she really liked the Mod Cloth dress you suggested, but the other BM hated it. Le sigh. Thanks for trying! And BTW - she's having my DBF be one of the groomsmen, much like your situation, but reversed Stick Out Tongue

I'm about to give up on VS wireless bras. I finally got around to trying on the 34D in the new Dream Angels strapless. As I mentioned before, I tried the 34DD already. I liked it, but thought the smaller size would offer more pushup. It didn't work as I imagined, which is my fault. The cups were too small & I was overflowing. Not a good look. I considered trying a 32DD, but I don't know if it's worth bothering. The Biofit 7-way kind of just sits on my boobs. It doesn't push them up at all. Does anyone have a recommendation for a non-VS strapless that stays in place well & acts as a pushup bra?

I haven't tried that one yet. Thanks for the recommendation. I'm starting to think I need to go to the mall & try them on rather than continuing to buy & return. I just hate trying stuff on in stores.
