I could just see what it would turn into at certain times of the month. One of the few bras that currently fits is 38F and its by Panache! I was having a bad bra day and needed something that day and ended up buying 2 42 DD bras at nordtrom rack since nothing else fit in the cup. They ended up being 1 cent each.
The only time I've ever been fitted at VS, I was probably 18 and wearing a DD, which was obviously no longer fitting, the lady tried to tell me I needed a C. Wtf, that doesn't even make sense. As previously mentioned, I'm currently wearing a 34F, which I got fitted for at Dilliard's after I decided the woman at Victoria Secret was crazy. I buy Fantasie I think? I'm in the library at school & can't exactly check the tag...anyways, they're like $60 each, which sucks, but I just keep buying the same one whenever I see it on sale. Because it's better than going through the nightmare of trying to find a new style. I have gotten it for as low as $30 before, so it's not all bad. Also, I'm sometimes shocked at the money people spend on VS!

Also, girls who are B cups and own like 50 bras...uh yeah. I have 3, and they're all just "nude," they don't make pretty bras in big girl sizes.

If I could buy patterned ones for $15-20 a pop at Target, I probably would too.

Is New Jersey affected by the weather? I ask because I ordered a full size item on Birchbox and shipping hasn't been updated since 1/24 (which says "shipping info received" in NJ. 

We had a lot of snow last week that really slowed everything down for a couple days. We also got about 2 inches over the weekend. This week has been pretty much back to normal in terms of traveling, though. Hopefully your package will get moving soon!

I just received my January box I got for signing up with the US WEEKLY+ Referral points. I have no clicky truck or item info on the website though. 

I got: 

Reviver Dry Deodorant Swipe
Nail Rock - Blue Sparkles
INKIA Mineral Eye Shadow - Eternal Marine
Fekkai Shampoo & Conditioner 

Not too bad I can use the Fekkai on an upcoming trip. I traded for the Inkia so that will be given away or traded and I have no use for the Reviver or Nail Rock.

ooh! This makes me hopeful-- I also don't have a clicky truck, and my shipment date isn't until tomorrow. Watch, I'll be so disappointed: My glossy boxes will still be lost and gone forever and my BB will not have happily surprised me....

So I went to Soma last night as was recommended and OMG! So much love! I found out that I'm a 34DDD. I've been wearing 36 or 38 D's. I never realized how much more important the band size is.

The only thing listed so far, that I really want is that Whish body butter from last month, so I tweaked my profile in the hopes of getting it. The only thing I really hope I don't get, is the retinol stuff. My skin can not handle retinol. I would have literally no use for it, as I don't even know anyone who would use it.

I want the pretty patterned ones from Target too!  I live for VS Semi-Annual.. unfortunately they don't stock my size in the store, so I end up with a bigger band size all the time!  I had to go to my doctor though because I was so worried I was growing so much- she told me it's fairly normal (I'm 23 almost 24).  I don't want to grow anymore!!  Also, am I the only one that has a massively hard time keeping bra straps on?  Mine are ALWAYS falling down my shoulders.  I've decided that I must have deformed shoulders or something.

For the box this month I want all the Caudalie 

 And eyeliner!  And soap!  But I'll probably get mascara, tea, and nail polish, if my past box trends have anything to say about it.

I think our society has lead to almost everyone having bad posture...anyways, that's what I figure my problem is when I can't keep my straps on. But you're not alone. I either pull them super tight, cutting into the skin (not comfortable!) or they fall off.

They didn't replace the filler text on their monthly note before sending it to print and no one spot checked it before they put it in ALL the boxes.  lol

This was their monthly note that they include in the box.  The neglected to replace the filler text before sending it to the printer.  In a second incredible fail, no one proofed them before putting them in the boxes, either.  This is way more entertaining than what they were likely to say anyway.

ETA: Ack!  I double posted because the first one didn't pop up and I got a page error!  It's there now, though.  Oh well.

But who came up with the filler text in the first place? LMAO incomplete thoughts, run on sentences...so random!

I'm guessing a cat lover whose cat put his butt in his face one time too many.

I really want one of those misprinted cards. In unrelated news, yay, my favorite kind of big announcement at work: We're getting bonuses at the end of February! I can do another pre-paid year after all! I'm so broke right now that it was looking iffy. But with this bonus, I can justify the splurge again.

Woohoo! Love surprise bonuses! Congrats!
