I have a candle that I ordered from one of those Passion Party things. It is awesome. It melts into a kind of massage oil. You light the candle, blow it out, pour it on, and rub it in. It's also a soy candle so it doesn't smoke at all.

khcadwal some hormone imbalances can be fixed with a proper diet. that book i told you about a while ago talked a lot about how what we eat can throw certain hormones in our systems off kilter and cause a lot of whackiness to ensue. she mentioned that eating too much sugar is usually the culprit.

Really wish I could afford that unlimited groupon. I would love to never have to shave anything again.

8/3/2011 7:54:50 AM

Sorry if this has already been posted on this thread...I read it regularly but might have missed it.

Does anyone here use Pinterest? http://pinterest.com/


I have read about it multiple places and honestly am trying to figure out what the big draw is? I do like having a place to bookmark my favorite looks for decorating but other than that, isn't it just a big virtual bulletin board? (maybe its bc I am SO not creative haha)

8/3/2011 12:35:23 PM

yeah, the unlimited groupon looks tempting. i'm just not certain they would really schedule enough sessions to make it worth it. plus you'd need 2 of them to do the whole leg.

^^^ i like pinterest for ideas. right now i'm obsessed with their food section because they have some good/interesting recipes on there.

i've also started to hear rumblings that we might be switching from a casual office environment to more of a business appropriate (no more jeans? waaahhhh ) so i've been pinning some "office appropriate" attire that i think would look good / items for me to keep an eye out for. i haven't had to wear anything other than jeans (except for when i met with clients a handful of times a year) for the last 4 years - plus i work from home 2 days a week soooo yeah haha.

Hmmmm. Bumble and Bumble is the new 500+ point freebie from Sephora. The past couple of perks have been no bueno...thinking of hopping on this one. Never used these specific B&B's though

8/3/2011 2:14:36 PM

^ i'd love to try them heard really good things but too pricey. I'll stick with my john fredia and aveda products.

8/3/2011 2:48:18 PM

I love Bumble and Bumble products and pretty much exclusively use their things. I buy the travel sizes (well I get them for presents at almost every holiday haha) and they last for a really long time. I have noticed a difference since using the "shine" shampoo and my hair really does seemed to have brightened up.

8/3/2011 3:16:19 PM

hmmmm. i may have to make a sephora trip this week

8/3/2011 3:16:59 PM

OMG I love bumble and bumble!!!!

8/3/2011 3:22:15 PM

I also love Bumble/Bumble.

But since Raine34 doesn't post that often, I'm suspicious that she's some sort of corporate bot.

8/3/2011 3:28:09 PM

i will be sad that my points will be depleted...watch some good shit I love come out next time they change it up

BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT

i lol'd when I saw travel size B&B at Wal-Mart in their mini-toiletries baskets

8/3/2011 3:33:58 PM

No corporate bot here haha. I have been on this site for a while but I feel like you all know each other and I am a weird outsider

8/3/2011 4:25:22 PM

can you use insider points on online purchases?

[Edited on August 3, 2011 at 4:27 PM. Reason : ^lol, i could see that. ]

[Edited on August 3, 2011 at 4:30 PM. Reason : imma go to their website and find out ]

8/3/2011 4:27:13 PM

you sure can, it adds it to your cart at checkout

JOIE GOT DEM POINTS

8/3/2011 4:36:50 PM

Yep! You just have to make sure your online account is synced to your points card.

8/3/2011 4:40:09 PM

^^^^Post more, especially if you got product info!

I don't know any of these people at all!

i need to read that STILL. i'm going to the beach for 3 days at the end of next week. that will be my reading time!!!

i also went off BC recently so i think that screwed things up too. i need to get back on. my health insurance is shitty. that is why i am excited about the free BC thing. yayyyy.

8/3/2011 10:19:40 PM

I've lost another 10 lbs since having the baby. I hope to continue losing weight or at least keep the weight off I've lost.

8/3/2011 11:12:30 PM

I was just looking at pictures of you from last summer before you caught the preggers. There is a serious difference!

8/4/2011 4:08:48 PM

what's your preferred brand of mascara?

I've never used a high-end kind like Smashbox, etc. Always used the tried and true Maybelline in the pink and green tube. Just got some of the Colossal lash from them, i like it.

8/4/2011 4:58:56 PM

I use Tarte's natural mascara (from Sephora). I have used a few different things, and did like the Smashbox mascara in deep purple that came in the kit for green eyes. But I have really sensitive eyes, and they start to itch if I wear mascara unless it's natural. The Tarte stuff is great. I've also learned that you have to rotate your mascara every three months, regardless of if it's all used up.



When I'm *really* trying to do it up and make an impression, I'll add the Smashbox Mascara Primer. It's not completely natural, so it does make my eyes slightly itch, but really not that much. Again, that's just because of my weird eyelids.

The only somewhat expensive kind of make-up that I buy is mascara. I have long eyelashes that are thinner and lighter at the tips so I don't want to ruin them. The only kind that I really like is Laroc Visual effects color black. I buy it at Ulta for like $20.

8/4/2011 5:35:05 PM

omg i am a mascara connoisseur.
it's my staple makeup....a lot of times it's the only thing i wear out.
therefore i don't eff around with it.

It started with my first tube of Diorshow (which is a great one btw) years and years ago and has bloomed into an almost unhealthy obsession with finding the perfect one.

anyway
Diors Blackout- my number one pick overall (SO FAR!!! this could change ) it's pretty thick so it clumps sorta easy but once you get the hang of it...oh my god. (another thing...it needs to be stored ever so properly or the clumping intensifies >.< )
very heavy but awesome

Diors iconic is also really good for just elongating but not thickening the lashes.
I've heard Lancome Definicils High Definition is really good for this too but I haven't given it a shot yet.
this is perfect for day.

Also Mac's Zoomlash is a good thickner and elongator...it's not as dramatic as black out but it has it's place. another good day one, but for a heavier eye look.

Benefit's Bad Girl Lash is another good one for a very subtle look but still make your eyes pop, but i had a problem with it drying up really really quickly :/

I've heard rave reviews about Lancome Oscillation Intensity too (for both thickness and elongating but not heavy) ....but for some reason i have no desire to try it just yet.

When i get a little more moolah I'm gonna get Givenchy Phenomen’ Eyes and maybe Chanel Inimitable...(shit shit shit i made an order today i should have gotten one).

sad part about all of this.
this is only a taste of what i could tell you

It's ok Joie, I'm that way with lipgloss and stains

I've heard good things about that Mac kind. Maybe I will try that next

8/4/2011 5:50:59 PM

I only wear it if I am going out otherwise its too much of a hassle and annoys me. but i do like

8/4/2011 5:51:41 PM

ahahahaha


as i was typing that i was thinking omg these girls are gonna think im nuts lol

8/4/2011 5:52:13 PM

i've had quite a few issues with mac zoomlash clumping.

i would get some lash brushes from walmart or something too
[Edited on August 4, 2011 at 5:54 PM. Reason : -->

8/4/2011 5:52:57 PM

I have always notcied consistency and fabulousness with Bumble and Bumble. But I don't get it often because it is super expensive.

Mascara: I usually go with drugstore variety but if I'm trying to be fancy I go for the Clinique brands. Never clumpy.

8/4/2011 5:54:05 PM

i feel like you would be a good makeup artist. I'll call you up when I get married. K?

[Edited on August 4, 2011 at 5:55 PM. Reason : ^^ ...no offense tgd!]

8/4/2011 5:55:09 PM

lol i try.
i did my cousins makeup for prom one year


in all honesty i think it would be fun to do and i like to play around with peoples when they let me, but im much better at my own

8/4/2011 6:04:10 PM

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG


my Polly Pocket package arrived in the mail



I'm completely tempted to skip kickboxing to play with them.. but I will have some will power

8/4/2011 6:05:11 PM

^ I SAW THAT

8/4/2011 6:06:49 PM

I"m going to be good and leave for kickboxing before opening up the whole package... that would be the death of exercising tonight, and I definitely need it


I WILL REPORT MY RESULTS LATER (meaning the Polly Pockets)

8/4/2011 6:09:39 PM

plz do

8/4/2011 6:12:09 PM

man i had like 20 of those things. one was a big ass house, and there was a garage and a little car. when you pressed on the tree/shrub thing next to the garage, the car came zooming out

8/4/2011 6:12:14 PM

I've gotten a tube of Maybelline Volum'Express "The Falsies" lately. it's pretty good for a cheapie, but it tends to crumble away a bit. however, the brush is shaped perfectly for my eyes and it gives me a lot from my corner lashes which are too curled to coat evenly with most mascaras. i need a lash straightener, haha

8/4/2011 6:23:15 PM

anyone on here ever heard of airbnb.com? you basically list your house or a room in your house for a night, week month etc and people book it. the website handles all the payments and people leave reviews. its like upgraded couchsurfing i think

i kinda want to do it!

8/4/2011 6:25:03 PM

yeah I tried that recently, the brush was good for shaping the lashes. I liked the effect. Didn't like the short bristles as much though.

8/4/2011 6:25:32 PM

^^ that sounds interesting!

am i the only one who has a hard time finding a decent selection of anklets? Where do you go?

8/4/2011 6:43:58 PM

i didnt know people still wore anklets

i have a white gold one i got as a gift years and years ago. i dont wear it anymore but i think since they went the way of toe rings. some people wear them but not so much that they're easy to find

8/4/2011 6:45:38 PM

ahhhh she's the high heel loving chick

hence the anklet love

8/4/2011 6:46:19 PM

i had an anklet made of yarn that I wore for about 3 years, until it broke. I like the hemp ones...I'm a beach bum at heart. Haters gonna hate

8/4/2011 7:01:39 PM

i had one i wore for like a year when i was 14

8/4/2011 7:02:15 PM

Nova, try Etsy....they have pretty much anything and everything on there

8/4/2011 7:15:43 PM

khcadwal, totally thought of you today at the thrift store. Lots of French Connection stuff at the Cause for Paws on South Saunders.
