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!

Waaaaait, it's not a free app?

... This is why I don't do Apple. I more or less refuse to pay for digital content.
I never upgraded my old Ipod Touch OS for that very reason. A @#$% $100+ glorified iPod and they can't upgrade me to the new OS for the very features they market it for? Grrrr Mad Android FTW!

Hmmm is tangling something that happens with finer hair? I don't usually have terrible tangling.

The shorts might come bis.. You already returned it? : (
My hair isn't fine. I don't know why it has a tendency to tangle, but it always has. Dontknow

Yeah, I returned the shorts. Frown I didn't think they were worth what I paid. I was hoping to get them cheaper.

Quote from pepper540 :
Some people out there use baking soda and apple cider vinegar instead of shampoo and conditioner.

I tried using diluted shampoo as a compromise but eventually got too lazy.


Hey GH :hu g2: I bought two of these and returned them. The way the pockets are, my hips looked even bigger. NO THANKS!
Hey girl. hug What's new in your life? Thanks for the review on the shorts. I can see how that would be a problem.

I agree with the other girls. You need to be a regular around here again. We miss you. Like porda, I miss your posts on cooking/recipes.

We got this little baby in January, so I've been spending a lot of time with her! I know I might be biased, but she is the best cat in the world.

Your baby is adorable.

Quote from longislandgirl :
:wave 2: all. I am back from vacation and started one internship too.
Hope all of you are doing good : )
How was your trip? I'm still waiting for a link to your blog for Indian cooking ideas. Big Grin Congrats on the internship. Whee

Quote from PordaPoddy :
That is kind of you, but I actually think of that in different terms, that it's sweet of her to still want to spend time with me when I must remind her of him and he said things to hurt her. Thank you for asking, but no, there is no chance of reconciliation. She has started dating and realizes she deserved better. I believe my brother is "dating" and according to his friends from college (that made an appearance at her fundraiser), he sounds miserable. It's been a while since I've talked to him but should be catching up this week. I'm very happy for her and as for him, I hope he figures himself out and what makes him happy. I consider her one of my closest friends now, but for whatever reason - holding onto her is not weird to me. Although, she wanted to hangout over memorial day and if I weren't on the camping trip from hell, my second obligation would have been to my brothers/parents and not her : ( .
It's great you all still have time for each other. Being pulled in many directions is never easy. It's too bad it didn't work out the way you hoped. Comfort I'm glad she's happy now. Hopefully, you're DBro will find someone that makes him happy too.

i just came from a full body massage + facial for less than $25 :woot 2:
Nice!

Quote from nerdicus :

i doubt it. it's ridiculous but things tend to cost less without insurance in asia than they do with insurance here.
What's ridiculous is how much things cost here. When people can fly to Europe & have an operation cheaper than having it at home in the US, there's a problem.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Girls, I just finally accepted a job offer! I'm so excited :wh ee: I hope it will set me on the right career track. Maybe that will start setting me strait and stop mulling about.

These people seem like a bunch of nice people, but it's hard to say just meeting the team on the first go around. They are really diverse, which reminds me of college and I like that! Nothing like my old work place. The team also has someone from my undergrad there as well, but graduated a year before me.
Congrats! woot

lol omg you are close to all the good food! Make sure you follow sprinkles for their whisper words. They often have b1g1 or free cupcakes. The VS is really close to where you're working. Just go straight down on 7th street-its in the Macy's plaza. Super tiny. Go there enough and they will recognize you and give you the stink eye lol...

I'd be in trouble that close to sprinkles. Is there a line always? That would be a deterrent. I like to get the cupcakes and just eat the tops laugh out loud! So yummy Eat!

I know we only have a few from the Southeast here. Anyone else lurking?

DH & I are in the process of planning our anniversary getaway. After taking a long vacation last Oct., we're most likely booking 5 nights this time. At the moment, we have a Walt Disney World trip booked, but we're tossing around other ideas. He liked the idea of going to Vegas. Two days would be travel days, so I don't think we have enough time. IMO, we need to have at least a week to make the flights worth it. He also said Myrtle Beach, but it would be too cold for me in Oct. Plus, it's pretty spread out for our preferred way of traveling. We also checked Key West, but our anniversary falls in the week they have their Fan Fest (think Mardi Gras).

We're looking for short travel time from Tampa & a destination where we can walk, take public transit, or a cheap taxi ride everywhere we want to go. No driving on vacation. Nono1 It must be in the US. I don't want to deal with customs, etc. for a short trip. We like nice hotels & excellent food. Other than that, we'll find something to do. Stick Out Tongue Ideas anyone? Please

First we heard of Sprinkles is when I took my youngest and her friend down to LA to Disneyland and Hollywood. We went shopping in Beverly Hills. We were in a shop and one of the workers found out we were visiting and he told us about Sprinkles. Well we got there and they had just cut off the line of serving people. So next time we were in the area we stopped and got some, yum yum.

I don't like Myrtle beach. Went with dh for work several years ago. It just wasn't nice after going to gulf coast all my life.

Puerto Rico is really nice, as is St. Croix. I like Puerto Rico more.

Delicious food, pretty beaches, short plane ride. It's an island so everything is close together.

they have a cupcake ATM now in BH! Even an ice cream place next door where you can have cupcake tops or cupcake crumbs added.

Most people still wait in line for the shops instead of using the Cupcake ATM tho since each cupcake is individually packaged, so it includes the 0.50 box charge if you box per cupcake.

I remember seeing that, but we opted for the go inside experience, especially since we had not been before.
