She's apologizing for looking like the rest of us on an average day in our sweats and workoutwear attire, or at least me. That's everyday for me

Me too...I don't even wear NICE sweats or workout wear.

Do you really???? LOL

Yeeeeeepppppp! Hey, I kept ordering the same stuff...I wasted some precious order space ordering stuff I already had.

I saw a DHL truck today and felt really sad because I have nothing on order! Boooohoooo!!!

Know what you mean...I never have anything delivered to my home anymore, and the other day I was home looking out the window and saw a UPS truck go by and got really excited, lol. Heck EM doesn't even USE UPS do they?, lol.

Who uses favorite hoodie as a shadow? What do you wear it with? It is way to brown for a blush for me, so I want to use it as a shadow.

I love silver spoon as a liner, but I want to use it in other ways. Anyone have that one?

Will pink ribbon work as a shadow? I think I may throw that in my next sample kit if they EVER CHANGE THE FRIGGIN SPECIAL!!

Colleen, you most certainly can have fun with us. Heck, I can have fun all by myself, but I'm certainly glad all of you are here so I don't have to feel guilty about that.

Dance hard everyone!

Well, I LOVE Pink Ribbon, but so far haven't used it for anything other than cheek color and one attempt at lip gloss (too light for lip gloss for me, but might look good on someone with lighter complexion and lighter hair, lol). I'll try it as an eyeshadow.

I have silver spoon, but haven't tried it yet.

Loved in the garden as an eyeliner, lol.

Hum, bet Favorite Hoodie would make a great eyeshadow.

And I'm having so much fun because you, and everyone else, is having so much fun

Does that even make any sense?!?!

Yes, and makes me feel much better about having fun.

Okay I took Countryside out of my mini kit and put in Bedtime Story, lol.

I'm taking cod liver oil and I can't say enough about it either.

Cod liver oil and charcoal, who would of thought

Yeah, I've been wondering if cod liver oil would work. I'm afraid to buy it. I've tried fish oil capsules and I react to those. I react to flax of all kinds, um, seems like I tried one other kind of EFA, can't remember though. Oh hemp...reacted to that too.

Does anyone have the Thank you eyeshadow, im going to get all the shimmer colors this time around, well most of them, a couple i dont like at all lol

I have it, but I haven't used it as an eyeshadow. I think I tried it as a blush...must not have knocked me over because I don't remember how I liked it...I wrote on my little spreadsheet (yes I have a spreadsheet so I can keep all this stuff straight, lol) that I liked it as a blush, but I don't seem to remember it that way now, lol.

And a full sized Pink Ribbon

I just realized I still need to try cypress. How do you guys wear that one? As an eyeliner? Maybe wet?

I just wore it as a lower lid color. It was very subtle.

What again is the number of blushes you DO have Donna??

And out of all those blushes you only like 2? Pink Ribbon and Nick Nack, is that correct?

I have tried 9 blushes, and SIX are my favorites with Nick Nack and Pink Ribbon being my all time best favorites, lol. Weekend Getaway was one of the first I tried and that was good too. The only one I DON'T like is New Car Smell, lol.

THAT'S why I need a new special...I don't want another sample of new car smell, lol. Dang next special can be just about ANYTHING but that, lol. It't not a horrible color, but it just turned orange, and I don't want orange...brown okay, no orange. But I don't have strong feelings about this or anything.

Yeah, my LLMD wants me to take EFAs in the worst ways, but I haven't found any that I don't react to...may as well try this too, lol.

Snowflakes is sooooo not too dark! I hate dark eyeshadows but this one is perfect as a crease color for me. Pots and pans makes a nice base for it, if you have that one.

Have Pots and Pans on today as a matter of fact. Okay, okay, I'll try Snowflakes, lol.

Yeah, maybe that's what I was thinking too...or maybe it was because had some surgery...I don't know, lol. I don't remember really ever checking into it before, so it was something that said don't take this if...

Great! Now if we just had some warm weather to go with it! I make this often in the summer after dinner. But when it is below zero it's hard to fathom. lol I like the idea of some nuts.... like chopped pecans....great!

Yeah, not below zero here, but for California it's been pretty darned cold!

Oh that sounds so good to, i need to get an magic bullet.

Yes, I need to buy another...I keep breaking them, but I love them so much I keep rebuying.

Have you tried Snowflakes? How about Bedtime Story? I bet you could even mix the two together.

Haven't tried Snowflakes yet...it's one of the next up...it looks too dark in the jar though, but maybe on it will be better. Bedtime Story...wait...nope, don't have it and not in my next order but perhaps it should be, lol.

Ok, has anyone tried Swimming Pool, All Smiles, or Soft Bronzer blushes??

Not yet. Probably the next order after the the one that's in my cart (IF THEY EVER BLOOMIN CHANGE THE SPECIAL, lol).

So I'm sitting here looking at my new eyeglass case and have decided that I want THAT shade of eyeshadow, lol. It's a lovely pearly lavendar shade. Perhaps this shade and a lighter version.

Arg...those looked really good until I got to the Xylitol, lol. Xylitol gives me pretty severe gastric upset unfortunately. I'm always in the market for a good bar, lol.

Well, I couldn't find a lot of serious side affects from EPO:

I have to agree with Donna about the knick knack. That stuff goes on really nicely.

SEE, just wait til you get Pink Ribbon and see if THAT doesn't make your head spin trying to decide which one is your favorite.

Okay so for my next order I really want waffle cone and a long handled kabuki. Do you think they will have a special for orders over $14?

I'm sure at SOME point they will. (Pssst, love the long handled kabuki)

Okay, here is our list:

1. You choose your clothes according to the makeup colors your going to wear.

2. You plan a day ahead what makeup your wearing the next day.

3. You know you must have every brush EM puts out.

4. You spend over $30.00 in makeup because you like the new "special".

5. You wear makeup even when your planning on staying home for the day.

6. You plan a shopping trip centered solely around buying "accessories" for your makeup habit.

7. You remove and reapply a full face of makeup more than twice in one day just to see what a different combination looks like.

8. You compulsively check online to see when the EXACT MINUTE is that your EM order will arrive.

9. When your order arrives, you speed home and lock yourself in the bathroom with it so the kids can't interrupt as you paw through it.

10. You start looking at complete strangers and analyzing their makeup and think about how EM would look on them.

11. You take complete strangers hostage from other threads in hopes of raising money to feed your EM addiction.

12. You begin to think of all colors as base, lid, crease, and liner.

13. You're known to stalk DHL vans.

14. You put on foundation (and a bit of blush) to go running, and justify it by telling yourself that the make-up will provide good sun protection.

15. When you refer to your online make-up friends in everyday conversation, people look at you like this ----->

16. You own twelve shades of blush, and plan on ordering more.

17. You considered choosing ten shades of eye shadow an extremely difficult decision.

18. You couldn't decide whether you were warm, cool, beige or neutral, and you REALLY couldn't decide if you wanted matte, semi-matte, intensive or original-glo (and you ponder these things often).

19. Sometimes you feel like kermit.

20. The day is missing something if you didn't 'mix' more than one makeup color together.

21. You know the exact day the EM special will change. And you are seriously ticked off if they extend the current special.

22. On the day the special is supposed to change, the first thing you do in the morning is log into the EM site to see what the new special is. If it hasn't changed yet, you send EM an email to ask what time zone the change will occur in.

23. The second thing you do on the change of special day is to log on to this thread to make sure everyone else saw it and ask what they are ordering.

24. You are seriously bummed out if there are NO new posts in the EM thread.

25. You check the EM site 3-10 times a day JUST to see if there are any new colors or products.

26. you wake up early with the excuse to exercise when really you want an hour to put on your makeup while the kids are still asleep.

27. You cant wait to buy all the brushes and eye shadows in one shopping trip.

28. You email all of your "real life" friends and tell them about EM.

29. You talk so much about EM, your mom tells you to order her some.

30. Foundation, one type of concealer, two shades of blush and one shade of eye shadow is considered a light make-up day (because you usually wear three types of concealer and four shades of eyeshadow)...

31. You've gotten up at 5, spent all day at work, went to chorale practice without having time to open your makeup, get home at ten completely exhausted and still feel compelled to try out the chit chat blush because it's Donna's favorite.....or....wait, was that supposed to be knick knack? Shoot, when is that next special.

32. When you discover that the minerals are discoloring your sink you realize you'll have to do your remodel in "fair medium".

Maybe it's hormone related and your hormones are shifting?

Maybe, but the pain is pretty constant. It's been every day for a couple of months now. I'm 52, so it could be hormonal, but wouldn't that be constant? Could also be some of the supplements I'm taking for the neurotransmitters I guess.

I've seen Evening Primrose Oil suggested on several sites for breast pain and was thinking of getting some just to see if it helps, but for some reason, Evening Primose Oil sticks out in my mind as something I might not want to take...wish I could remember why, lol.

Luna bars are part of the Clif company... do Clif bars not have oats? I've seen them mentioned by people as a safe option so I am wondering if they both carry the disclaimer of "we source ingredients that are not made using WHEAT or dairy and are not genetically engineered"

A lot of Clif Bars do have oats. The Clif Nectar bars (at least the ones I've tried) do not.

Got a question....

What's with the "post icons, (optional)" box on this reply page? The choices are the same emoticons under "show all", with a couple of tantalizing additions--our green guy, and a snazzy arrow. But if we choose one, doesn't show in our text.

It's kind of starting to make me a little crazy. Is Scott just teasing us, seemingly offering cool little guys and arrows, but AH! Nope...can't really use them! This is very poor emoticol.....

I thought those were for when you make a new post...like a new thread. Don't know why they would show under reply though.

SO the manager of the complex who also lives there called the cops on them last night. I spoke with the cops this morning. They were very helpful. The kids and mom are being evicted and need to be out by 3/16. Thank Goodness!

Yay, great news!!!

Whole Foods and Wild Oats has nitrate, gluten, and sugar free turkey and chicken. When I do get it I ask them to clean the slicer.

Yeah, my WF has a brand of sliced turkey that only has turkey in it. I do buy that to have on hand for snacks.

I read a few pages back and saw that some are interested in making something like ice cream. Sorry that I do not get here but maybe once a day due to my slow dial up....

Here is an easy recipe:

Almost like ICE CREAM

1 3/4 c. frozen blueberries or chopped up frozen strawberries

1/8 t. stevia

1/2 c. whipping cream or coconut milk or cashew cream

eat immediately

the moldlady

This is very similar to what I make, lol. I use frozen peaches, and I blend it in my magic bullet. I also have a small one-serving Deni ice cream "maker", I'll use coconut milk with some stevia and some nuts. That tastes pretty close to ice cream, lol.

Hello and welcome!

lmao hubby just called and woke me up and asked me if i was taking the boys to school and i was like omg i dont have enough time to put my makeup on and to shower, so he is coming home to take them lmao.

Priceless!

No new special yet. I think I need to do some deep breathing. Funny thing is, I don't even know what I want to order yet. I know I want another eyeshadow sampler, but than I will have to choose colors. And we all know how hard that is!

Exactly why within 1 minute of sending in my last order I had another mini eyeshadow kit going, lol. The colors have changed a few times, but less decision making on D-Day.

Thanks Carla! I think I'll go home today and check my journal to get my dates straight, then call and see what happens.
