I like One King's Lane a lot. I think that site is a lot less stuffy than Joss & Main, and it's rather affordable items. They get more quirky items on One Kings Lane as well. If you have pets, there's always lots of fun little sales for them too.

12/13/2012 7:07:34 PM

^^ my gyno said the same thing as long as you have 3 normals in a row or something.

12/13/2012 11:38:54 PM

[Edited on December 14, 2012 at 2:02 PM. Reason : this is for products and whatnot that they include in the box]

12/14/2012 1:58:47 PM

Apparently you have to wait like 4 weeks to be "invited"

12/14/2012 2:01:52 PM

Does anyone have an invite? Or do they not do that for Birchbox? I'm interested and would love to sign up.

12/14/2012 2:09:07 PM

I just bought this because TiffanyD recommended it for my kind of skin. Anyone else have good results or have used it?

12/17/2012 1:50:56 PM

Yay I got a sewing machine for Xmas. I am so going to make a pin tuck duvet. Excite

12/17/2012 8:39:19 PM

Yay!

12/17/2012 11:38:00 PM

I feel like someone mentioned liking Spanx Swimwear?

They're on sale on ideeli today. More than 50% off.

12/18/2012 10:29:45 AM

Speaking of ideeli... purple or charcoal?
http://www.ideeli.com/events/118170/offers/6338526/latest_view/3055710?from_quick_buy=1

12/18/2012 11:26:10 AM

^ I think it depends on the color palate that dominates your wardrobe. I'd go charcoal, but that's only because of my wardrobe. The purple is pretty!

12/18/2012 11:33:59 AM

I also bought the black jacket you got last week...

So I worry the charcoal would be too close to make a difference.

12/18/2012 11:38:29 AM

I need a longer peacoat. My coat now stops at my waist, like those above, and it's really not flattering on me.

12/18/2012 11:46:10 AM

My favorite comes to mid thigh.

12/18/2012 11:46:56 AM

^^^ then go for the purple

Glad you got that jacket too... it was a great deal! I'm loving mine.

12/18/2012 11:49:57 AM

Me too!

Being petite, I need coats that hit at the waist rather than mid-thigh.

Minka, something like these?

12/18/2012 12:02:21 PM

SO PURRDY

12/18/2012 5:27:24 PM

I want to try making my own bath bombs. What scents should I try?

12/18/2012 7:00:22 PM

whatever scents you enjoy smelling?

12/18/2012 7:06:38 PM

I was just trying to start a conversation. I like the standards, like lavender and vanilla or rose hips, but I wanted to do something different. I really like cinnamon, but I don't know what to pair it with
.

12/18/2012 7:15:31 PM

Pumpkin?

12/18/2012 7:25:20 PM

make one with sandalwood and another with jasmine or gardenia, mmmm

12/18/2012 7:28:39 PM

Ooh! Gardenia!

12/18/2012 7:29:36 PM

basenotes.net provides a breakdown of the fragrances in most perfumes, you could search there then try to recreate or at least get an idea of what scents pair well



i wouldn't want to go around smelling like a pumpkin pie all day but that's just mho

12/18/2012 8:24:44 PM

Lol I love the smell of pumpkin pie and also my caramel coffee. If I could just bottle that up and wear as perfume I would. Plus an observation I made last weekend but, my boyfriend always compliments me on how I smell after baking all day

Who knew smelling like chocolate cupcakes would get me laid

12/18/2012 8:42:26 PM

apparently men are very attracted to the smell of vanilla and that's used in most baking


i like for my house to smell of such things but not my body...i think i'd stay hungry all day

12/18/2012 8:46:07 PM

Hmmm... chocolate bath water. That is an interesting idea. And that website is great! Thanks.

12/18/2012 9:22:23 PM

Mmmmm vanilla

12/18/2012 9:27:49 PM

yeah, I like the website. Thanks for the info!

12/18/2012 9:29:39 PM

I feel lame for even asking this but can someone explain to me, why is it that after a vaginal orgasm I am too sensitive inside? It is too much stimulation.

12/19/2012 9:36:35 AM

is qntm putting it down in NYC?

I'm still waiting on my turn

also vanilla scents are

12/19/2012 10:16:04 AM

I love vanilla when it is combined with something less cloying. On its own it is just too sweet.

12/19/2012 10:18:32 AM

i like vanilla

12/19/2012 10:18:38 AM

male birchbox

is it worth it?

I just got my invite today

"I feel lame for even asking this but can someone explain to me, why is it that after a vaginal orgasm I am too sensitive inside? It is too much stimulation."

I cannot speak to vaginal vs. clitoral orgasms and sensitivity, but I can talk about sensitivity in general after orgasm. During foreplay the genitals become engorged with blood and you're waking up all of these nerve endings. Immediately after orgasm, you're still flush with blood and all of these nerve endings are wide awake and have yet to calm down. Basically everything is ON, making even a little stimulation too much.

It's extremely normal for men and women to be very sensitive to the touch after orgasm. I know that I pretty emphatically don't want my clitoris to be touched after I come (penetration isn't so much a problem). Multiple orgasms are all fine and dandy, but I really just want the touching to stop. It's not that it is exactly painful, it's just as you said too much.

12/19/2012 6:03:04 PM

glad you ladies like the website/find it useful!

^i too have that problem, but sometimes it's fun to push through the 'too much' sensation and keep things going, but yes i do agree that it's completely normal and a common thing post orgasm

I got this dress to do some partying in Vegas.



here's the link to a big pic, check out the roses on the bottom!

I'm gonna spend a whole week in vegas, but with people who like to look like bums. what do i wear, Erica?

12/20/2012 1:10:54 PM

^ Look like bums... like, just jeans and tees, 24/7?

You can do some rock star jean + tee + boot combos.

What all will you do in Vegas? Casinos? Night clubs? Fine dining? Great shows?

12/20/2012 2:11:23 PM

casinos, maybe a show or two, a fine dinner or two, i hope. we're staying on freemont street for a couple of days and then the north end of the strip. I'm going with my husbands parents who enjoy gambling but are otherwise kinda stingy and don't speak english, so I really don't know what to expect.

12/20/2012 3:14:31 PM

Minka, any chance you want to buy my peacoat? I'm trying to downsize my wardrobe I have no idea what size you are, but just thought I'd ask! It's missing the label but is about a 6-8

12/20/2012 3:25:38 PM

wow that looks like the ones from ideeli but with pockets

12/20/2012 4:47:01 PM

Come on Erica!

12/21/2012 11:15:54 AM

a commerical just reminded me--Can someone explain to me the love for Pandora jewelry? The line out the door at Crabtree today was ridiculous, and I genuinely don't understand the hype.

12/21/2012 10:49:24 PM

me neither i think they're ugly

12/21/2012 10:50:34 PM

I like mine, but not enough to make someone stand in a huge line for me. Charm bracelets are kind of a thing for my family, and mike's family is all about pandoras. His mom really wanted me to have one and Ive grown to really love it. I dont care for just filling it up with pointless beads, i want mine to have meaning, which is why mine only has like 4 beads right now.

12/21/2012 10:54:59 PM

learned something: I didn't even know they were meant to be like charm bracelets (which makes sense in my head now--while I'm not I know charm bracelets are def huge with some people)
So each bead has a design like a charm would? Or are some just pretty colors?
And what about the necklaces? Are they also to be built upon like a charm bracelet would?

[Edited on December 21, 2012 at 11:03 PM. Reason : ]

12/21/2012 11:01:51 PM

I dont know anything about the necklaces. Some beads are just colorful and supposed to be decorative. I have a cupcake because i like to bake cupcakes, a kitty cuz i love mah kitty, a cruise ship from our honeymoon, and one that is green with shamrocks cuz my birthday is in march.

12/21/2012 11:04:56 PM

Thanks for the info
