New name, same girls!

I do not know if this will interest you all, but Express can give a refund on a different credit card then originally used. Let me preference by saying I do not know if this is true if you use your store card. I placed an online order with my Discover card. When it was time to swipe my CC in-store for the return, the SA asked for my Visa card. Now as I am reviewing my receipts I see this. I have no idea why she asked for my Visa when the invoice lists Discover. I could not care less actually, but I thought it may help if you leave a certain card home one day while during a return.

Is it very apparent? She doesn't want to be darker for the wedding but she thinks tanning may help with the redness in her arms. I think she was just gonna try like st Tropez or something. Bad idea? She still has a month... So it's best the next day?
Scratchchin I was about to suggest using a self tanner and then hairspray to set it (sort of like a hardcore MU setter - I used it at the clusterf--- wedding on my face), but now I'm thinking... the red is a reaction to something. She could try a non-drowsy allergy pill and do a series of photos after a few hours to see if that dampens the reaction that's making her skin red. I would also try Ibuprofen (NSAID) separately - since red can be inflammation. If either of those were to work- the allergy pill would help keep her eyes white for photos and who couldn't use a prophylactic anti-inflammatory for their feet or back at their own wedding... The St. Tropez moisturizer (the one that came in the Sun Kits from Sephora) rinse off pretty easily. The tanning mousse Alvs is talking about seems to stay put pretty well. I would shower it once though and I'd also baby powder my sweaty spots before putting my dress on.

If we do move, it would probably be to Arizona. Nevada appears to be a good choice too. Where did they move to in Texas? I always thought most areas in Texas had a lot of rain. It really makes me depressed to think about leaving FL though. I hate the fact that I may have to give in & do that eventually. Down DH, OTOH, would love it. He's been trying to talk me into moving for years. The days when I'm in a lot of pain weaken my resolve to fight him on it.

Men do surprise us! Teehee

My grandma found a whole community of what they proudly called "Winter Texans" in McAllen, TX. (super far south, you might want to be closer to an airport or more coastal). The folks that used to come down in winter but the trip was wearing on them, eventually moved down their full time. I remember her neighbors were Canadians and they always had these giant tubs of cheese laugh out loud

Haha yes! I did! Everyone said I'd be back (people always go back) but I haven't felt the itch. I'm proud of myself. Which cookie butter do you see in the freezer section? I'm talking about the one in the jar in the pb section. It's heavenly.

They stock it there too, quit teasing me and tell me how to use it- I'm buying it Monday! Tongue

I just spent all Friday night and most of Saturday cleaning our place up for a visit from the in-laws...and they never set foot in our place... Doh I mean, it is clean(er) now Smilie ... a good point to start prepping for my aunt's visit next week. But, dangit... laugh out loud

Q - about VS Shipping charge resolutions... how did the email resolutions go vs. calling? My plan is to return everything I'm going to from those orders, then call for the adjustment (so they don't see the shipping adjustment and deduct that from the return amount like some of you gals were saying) Scratchhead

I follow the Iowa Girl Eats blog and she and her husband just went to Charlestown. I've never wanted to go there especially but her pictures make it look like such a wonderful place to visit!

I know this makes me a big dork but I love any city with that moss in the trees. It's just so romantic. It does look like a pretty city. We were going to go on the way home but life happened of course Annoyed

calling in more efficient but you don't have to talk to cs if you email. you could always get an unhelpful response but just resend it.

my house here is spotless. i went psycho on it yesterday out of anger LMAO.

And check out shoes! I have the hologram heels and LOVE them. They're really cute and comfortable if anyone needs a new pair of shoes in a style like that.

Also, I've worn my pintuck jacket the last two nights out and love it so much! I'm so glad it came BIS Smilie

Did anyone else's Express points not update? Last time I'm seeing points credited was 5/14. I'm thinking it's time to give them a call...

Edit: NM. I ended up calling them. I wonder what's going on. They also told me rewards will be distributed soon! From the 12-19th!

AZN, you should call them.

Last year (and last time) the sale started with 20% and then went to 30% very quickly...and then to 40% for the Fourth of July.

The thing to watch for is that prices are higher in the beginning and sometimes they drop the price as well as the percentage to make an even bigger difference. Last time, I had a pretty large PA because of both of those things.

With a spoon! But for real, on bread, tea cookies, apple slices, etc.

And if you're feeling really evil, try out this recipe: "Cookie Butter" Gooey Butter Cakes [tortillasandhoney.com]

Oh, I love that speculoos stuff! DBF had that one day, and we were eating it with a spoon. I can't imagine having that stuff in my house. It's so deadly. I'm not sure I've ever tasted anyhing so delicious (but I love the taste of ginger and don't like overly sweet desserts...so this was the perfect mix for me).

You should get an express CC. We get so many good deals there. It's sort of unreal...
