Quote from nerdicus :
is your DH very tall? i know the BR ones don't fit taller slimmer men... if that helps.

i don't think the express ones are bad quality. i just think BR has nicer quality than express, that's all.
My DH is 6' 1" & has a 32" waist. He tried one polo on at Express & decided M was the best fit. The ones I bought haven't been opened. I hope they fit like he said. Hopefully, they'll hold up, if he wears them for weekends & trips only. He's been forbidden from wearing any of his newly bought clothes to work or around the house. laugh out loud He's so hard on clothes that I have to constantly replace his. DS is the same way. shake head Next time they need replaced I look at BR instead.

little sis asked me to buy her the naked palette to take home when there was a free tsa bag worth $50. came with foil samples of naked foundation, udpp and travel size all-nighter. it came with full size sin e/s and curling mascara. i'm a little jealous. promo is over now though : (
Thanks

thx

does anyone have like a kitchenaid hand mixer? are those any good? iwant to start baking but i dont want to commit to anything super expensive. i saw some hand held ones that look promising..but they still cost around $70. wondering what's a good price and which ones are good?
This http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=s9_dn...d_i=289929 type of mixer doesn't need to be expensive. You control the beaters, so it's easy to mix the batter completely. Mine was a cheap one & I have it for years. As long as you use it properly, you'll be fine with a cheaper one. This http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Be...03&sr=1-10 looks like a good one for a great price. This http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=s9_dn...d_i=289929 type of mixer needs to be a good, expensive one. The cheap ones don't mix the batter well. The beaters don't cover the entire bowl. You end up paying for a bowl, because it's useless as a mixer.

ETA: I included the links, because I didn't know if you were wanting a hand mixer like in the link or one that looks more like a hand blender. I've never used the one that's like a hand blender & can't offer an opinion on those.

Just my personal experience with handheld mixers vs. kitchen aid stand mixer.

Handheld mixers make a flipping mess. A real huge pain in the butt mess. I used to like to bake when I was a kid, but that, coupled with the fact that I always had to clean up a mess made me bake less and less and less. Yes, I had a deep bowl, but it just wasn't enough. Yes, I tried to block the sprays with a paper towel, but it seemed like much of the ingredients were wasted flying out.

Then the Kitchen Aid stand mixer transformed my life. I've been a lot happier about baking and do it a lot more. Clean up is super easy. I can turn it on and walk away to prepare the baking pan, etc...and I don't have to worry about losing ingredients or cleaning up stuff that flew everywhere. I can make huge batches. Like 7-9 cups of flour huge. Saves time, saves grief.
Also, the consistency of the cake is SOOO much better with the stand mixer. Everything just mixes so much better. Things are fluffier, softer, and just overall better tasting. It makes baking a joy. I've baked the things I've given up on before by using the stand mixer and it's just fantastic.

I personally think that for the ~$70 difference, it's worth it to get a Kitchen Aid stand mixer.

i don't think so... i don't have the kitchenaid handheld anymore so i dont remember just how good it is (i lost it in a breakup laugh out loud) but i used a non-kitchenaid handheld my whole life growing up and it never failed on me. i'm not sure if you really need a kitchenaid brand handheld.

BR polos might be too short for your DH then - my friend is tall and lanky (almost 6' but probably smaller waist - pretty skinny) and he stopped shopping there bc the shirts were always too short on him. my DH is shorter so they fit him perfectly.

i like your descriptions of the mixers. i agree completely.
