I bought the twistbands last night, I couldn't help it

Plus free shipping

I had to buy the twistbands too- I'm just hoping that I like them since I've never gotten the chance to try them. I'm always sticking just a plain hairtie on my wrist though, so at least these will look better.

I also had to buy the nail kit. I have a sister who is turning 13 at the end of the month, and I'm thinking that the kit plus some twistbands and maybe an iTune gift card will make a great gift!

I know it probably doesn't help much, but I have read that for skin products, being natural doesn't mean that they will not cause problems. Especially for people with allergies, since a lot of allergies are caused by natural elements, like pollen from flowers e.t.c. I guess all someone can do is learn through trial and error, or know exactly what causes the allergies and study the ingredients in each product to avoid them.

I believe that is true for some people, but I have a pretty big collection of essential oils, none of which have ever given me problems. And I use a lot of natural products and don't generally have a problem with them. Mostly my problems are with cleaning products, and sometimes products that are heavily synthetically fragranced, like Tide. When I stick to brands like Pacifica, EO, Nature's Gate, or Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab which are mostly natural, I rarely have a problem. But I rarely have a problem with skin care products. I notice I am sometimes allergic to The Body Shop and I had a reaction to the Julep cuticle stick, and once due to one specific brand of violet lip balm but that is rare. I do believe those reactions were due to synthetic fragrance. I often wear synthetic perfumes without a problem, like whatever strikes my fancy at Sephora, so who knows.

Why, yes, yes it is the CM Punk.  I was at a restaurant having dinner with my girlfriends when I spied a cute guy out of the corner of my eye as he walked in.  As he walked past, it hit me that it was him and I literally lost my sh*t.  He's my favorite, and not just because he's a Chicago boy.  I stopped him as he was coming back from the men's room and asked him for an autograph.  He was so super nice and gracious.  He was a little taken aback that a girl in a little black dress, Hunter boots and and LV bag up on the table with a copy of the Economist hanging out it was a fan.  I think it was because I have all my teeth.  He lives right near me too....see him when he's in town, which isn't often.  I have his shirt on for Wrestlemania tonight.  

(why, yes my geek hand is strong)

Now....back to the topic at hand....when are those stinkin' boxes going to go up?????  My favorite part, aside from opening my box, is trying to figure out which box I get!

Wouldn't mind this box I found on Instagram

That is just too neat! Glad to hear he was nice in person...he plays the butthead card so well on tv sometimes, it's hard to imagine him any other way. And I'm sad I have to miss wrestlemania tonight...I just have basic cable and we are such a small, crummy town "sports" bars won't have it on. I've been checking the box pages religiously and I still haven't seen any updates. My guess is that the URL was switched up again this month and I haven't been able to figure what they may have switched to.

Please let me know how it works on your legs.  I thought about getting it and then I was skeptical of it because of my eczema.  I use this daily moisture by nivea and it calmed down my breakouts.  I'm also super pale as well. I left NYC for a college town surrounded by mountains and my color is gone, lol.

You both should try First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream. You can get it at Sephora. I had horrible eczema on my legs...they were so itchy and they just looked like a battlefield. 2 weeks of the ultra repair cream and I was not ashamed to wear skirts or shorts anymore. A lifesaver! Worth every penny. I use it everyday to prevent any flare ups.

I purchased the small tube of First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream when it was on sale at Sephora and I needed something extra to get me to free shipping.  It sat in my bathroom cabinet for a few months until I had a rash that left my skin ultra dry, flakey, peeling and overly sensitive.  It worked wonders!  I keep a tube on hand now, just in case.

On the subject of skin, does anyone know what works well to get rid of keratosis pilaris aka "chicken skin?" I have had that on my upper arms forever and I'd love to get rid of it before summer comes around.

I found the microdermamitt that I got in a birchbox coupled with really good moisturizers helps tremendously!!! When I use that and coconut oil daily, my skin feels great - it takes about two weeks (for me) to show rally improvement, but as long as I keep at it, the routine keeps it at bay!

I have that too and use scrubs to exfoliate really well and then moisturize moisturize moisturize! I have tried and like the KP Duty scrub, a little goes a long way which is great because it is pricey. I have been using Avene body oil on my arms and they are so soft. Other scrubs I like are salt scrubs from philosophy and the body shop. I also love the bloody shops body butter.

 I knew no one with my name for many years and was so sad not to have any junky personalized items like souvenir  license plates  Then, when I hit college, there was a veritable explosion of Megans/Meghans/Meagans.  When people hear my name they expect a 20 something. I'm not one.   

My box is due Friday with a weight of .5820    I already have box envy of the boxes I've seen!   I may have to get a 2nd subscription. eeek!

Twinsies!!! That's my box weight!  It's supposed to be delivered on 4/11, what does your shipping say?
