New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

I put them in a clear plastic box. It's overflowing now laugh out loud I have certain ones separated out into smaller boxes like eye creams, hair products, fragrance (which I dont use so I tend to give away)
i need to do this and sort by target area,i have 2 of those sephora freebie totes full of stuff now + things all over the table and coffee table.

I put them in makeup bags, separated by type and brand. I've been using up all my samples before hitting my full sized skin care items. If I have 3 eye creams from Boscia or something and I decide to use it, I pour all three out to a jar container and use from there. Helps deplete it faster.
oh thats a great idea. I need to do somehtinglike this. Where do i get the jars? do you re use old ones?

Yay for not having to make those yucky microwave brownies! Smilie Sounds like she might be an idealist and became indecisive because of that. Good thing that you confronted her and are keeping her grounded.

Does that mean she took GH's idea on putting the ingredients in the mug and let the guests microwave it themselves? Or is she doing something else?

Hang in there, azn! hug

Hope everything went okay at the doctor's. Best of luck to you!
Yep! Took GH's suggestion. Thank goodness!
You're probably right, she seems very much an idealist and is a very indecisive person. Can't have your cake and eat it too!

We are now finally deciding between two dresses. She said she's okay with either at the end and we already have BMzilla making snide offhand comments without deciding on anything Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) But we're moving forward woot Better choosing between two yucky dresses than all the "possible options out there" nod

They don't have as many Pinkberrys anymore around here!

I actually just use old jars and label them if I forget or I don't empty the packets until I'm ready to use. I tend to do the latter. Gotta put all those VS makeup bag GWPs to some good use! nod

The organization part is what gets everything less cluttered for me.

Like alvs, the deluxe samples, I keep with my regular makeup/skincare. Packettes I store in the makeup bags in order by type and brand.

I use old jars that I rinse out. If I don't have one I dump something I don't really want and use it. Also I think bobbi brown or mac have empty containers. I've bought some of those but it was for freebies.

I LOVE salted caramel. I was obsessed for a while but I haven't had it since because I needed to give it up.

I don't think I've ever had the salted caramel cupcake from Sprinkles. I don't get there often because the only one we have is way Uptown. I think my favorite cupcake there is the Mocha.

It sucks that you don't have a pinkberry yet but at least you won't gain any weight from it.laugh out loud

I think for now if your DH is threatening to chuck them, just grab a clear plastic tote and stash them there. I got nice sturdy ones at Staples. They had them on sale for $4 at one point. They're the ones people store file folders in but I just use them for small beauty and clothes items.

Emptying the samples from their packets sounds good if you have a lot of free time...I just tend to use the packets as I go along. They do stay fresh in there until you open them . It can be a pain once you do open them as they tend to dry up within a week.

ok help!! how do you all organize your samples? i have them all over now. I need some ideas asap before dh throws them awaySmilie
I try to keep all the same stuff in one area, like e/s, mascara, lip gloss, etc. I have some in my regular bathroom drawer and then I also have stuff in m/u bags or totes or plastic box containers. I am trying to get more organized my self, thinking of getting one of those drawer containers that 3 or more drawers and put stuff in in so it is all in one place and can be easily looked at. I also got ride of some of my stash when I made those goodie bags for the moms in need. I think I am going to go through my stuff again and put it in a container/box and take them to the lady who distributes this stuff because she has a big container to store stuff in, that was it is not in my house Wink

I didn't know what Pinkberry was. Out of curiosity, I checked locations & there's one in the mall I was at on Sunday & one in the mall we frequent in North Miami.Doh Obviously, I'm not the most observant person ever. Embarrassment I usually go to the mall with a mission in mind & don't pay much attention to anything else. The next time I'm at one of these malls my mission will be to stop by Pinkberry. Teehee That sounds delicious. drool

anastaciab, this won't help for now, but I too became overwhelmed with samples. I no longer add sample packets to my cart. I just opt out of samples completely, if they only have packets to choose from. Only deluxe samples are worth the clutter for me now.

oo salted caramel is a seasonal flavor! its not always there! they have the take home ones you can buy too Wink i like the hazelnut chocolate more hehe Stick Out Tongue but ultimately, i can eat the most of original since it doesnt get overly sweet.
