OMGOSH, THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!!!! :lol:

It's 6:35 Pacific Time, and the new specials (should there be any) are NOT posted yet. :lol: Egads...I woke up at 2:15 a.m. and immediately started thinking about the stupid NEW specials. :lol::ph34r: If I didn't have to fire up the ole computer and wait for a dial-up connection, I might have gotten out of bed at that very moment!!!! :P

Kassandra,

I haven't gotten around to some of the other products yet, but I think I might try the wipes and at least one of the cleansing bars.

Joni,

Nope, you're a member for life now! :P

Awww man. I just got up and the new special isn't up yet. I dreamed about makeup brushes last night. That I got a whole set for free. This has escalated to unhealthy levels..... :unsure:

Thanks :D !!!

What gives??? It's now 9:41 am EST and still NO SPECIAL CHANGE!

I have my GI appt. at noon and I just know I'm going to be the last to find out about the new specials! :(

Kassandra, I tried their moisturizer. It works great, smells ok (not great), and is a tiny jar for $4.00. I only use it around my eyes because of the cost.

I ordered some makeup from Pure Luxe cosmetics

Open Original Shared Link

What's Pure Luxe like - no wait . . . never mind - I cannot try something new!!

You can let us know how it is, Joni, but you cannot leave us - you can never leave "the cult" :ph34r: !

Yay for Pick Me Up Pink!

It's great, isn't it? Today I needed to put make-up on for volunteering at my son's class. But I didn't want to overdo it since I'm going to wash it right off before my dermatologist appointment. So I put on PMUP and then the Natural Reflections Cool Pink finishing dust - a little Apple on my cheeks and, dare I say, GREEN eye shadow!!! This is the first time I had a color other than browns or mauves since the 80's when the only color I had on my eyes was BLUE - blue eyeshadow, blue pencil and even blue mascara (remember that?) :o !! I have to say, I'm not very comfortable with this - I'm really going out of my comfort zone right now. But isn't this all about us leaving behind what we were comfortable with and trying something new :) ?

How was your "experimenting"?

Hi Susie! I was wondering if we scared you away :P

Maybe I can start a new cult?

We can have competing cults. How fun. LOL

Actually...(oh man ^_^ ) that Pure Luxe stuff looks good! Plus, their colors have fun names, such as porno queen and nymphomania B) LOL . I will try to resist ordering their blushes and lip colors while excitedly awaiting your reviews, Susie :D

Okay you guys, EM is officially trying to torture us :huh::o I have to sit in front of this dang computer for seven more hours, which means I will be constantly checking for the new special. :ph34r: I do hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling it's not going up today <_<

TORTURE!

Oh ladies, I am so sorry about the special :(

I was up really late last night and I kept checking :lol:

I guess we just assumed there would be a new one posted once the other one had expired.

I wonder if it has to do with clearing out the overstock of tinsel time and gingerbread man, and who knows how much of it they have left? Hmmm, dare I say this could go on until they get rid of it?

Plus, their colors have fun names, such as porno queen and nymphomania B) LOL . I will try to resist ordering their blushes and lip colors while excitedly awaiting your reviews, Susie :D

:o

Ok, I kinda am partial to the nice sweet names of the EM, Day Dream, Tea Time, Fresh Air, has a nicer ring to it!

But if I empty my cart and there really IS a new special, I will have to choose all my eyeshadow colors again. I don't think I can go through that again - it was worse than childbirth!!! Too many good choices! :lol:

I bet we did. Now they have a new marketing plan in place..to make us pay full price and not get freebies. I hope we don't have to wait another month for a new special!

Alright that's it. :angry: We're all joining Susies future cult and switching to Pure Luxe. :P

But wait....that would mean I won't ever get to try the 12 eyeshadows and 6 blushes that are sitting in my cart :lol:. Okay, I guess I'll try to be patient for at least a few more days :rolleyes:

Warning...CRAZY talk about to occur:

I was just thinking...I've received SOO much free stuff that I may actually just place my order anyway, lol. It's not like I can't place another one if they put up a really good one. :lol: I'll think on this overnight--I may come to my senses while sleeping. :P

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly...

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Yes, some people with celiac disease do seem to deal with frequent infections, especially if they have ongoing inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, asthma/allergies, or another immune issue going on. Low vitamin D can also affect immune function, so it would be reasonable to ask your doctor to recheck vitamin D, iron/ferritin, B12, folate, zinc, and possibly general immune markers if this keeps happening. Also, people with celiac disease can have reduced spleen function, or hyposplenism, which is one reason some celiac organizations recommend pneumococcal vaccination or making sure you are up to date on pneumonia-related vaccines. Since you are getting bronchitis, pneumonia, and frequent colds in your late 20s, I would not just brush it off, especially if symptoms are lingering after a week and a half. It may or may not be directly from celiac, but repeated respiratory infections are worth documenting and discussing with your doctor, and possibly with an allergist/immunologist or pulmonologist.
