LOOVE the nude even though it won't show up on me!

All of these stories about life abroad are making me way jealous!

Maybe we need an MUT field trip over here!

Gah. You are specifically taunting me, aren't you? I need an ongoing year-round German swap partner for essence and Catrice! To quote Veruca Salt, "I WANT IT ALL!" Lol I guess the grass is always greener on the other side there are tons of things I want but cant find here or are too expensive over here.

Oh, Nooo! I will be heartbroken if she can't get her hands on any of that collection!

If I read correctly on their website , it's not supposed to be launched until the middle of this month, so, here's hoping they're off to a late start :/

Have you seen the Rocking Royals anywhere else yet?? I'm also dying over the new Essence 24 Hand Balms...Dark Chocolate AND Banana??? Oh, yeahhhh!!!!! Come to mama!

They had some testers out at the store near me. I don't know if it was sold out or they just put them out early. Hope your friend can find them for you.

Those are cute!  Clear alcohol one made me laugh but I am in love with the Thomas Jefferson quote.  That'd be very touching to receive.

Ok you ladies make me miss my home country (Germany) but hey, we get to go on two days and my giftee will get all of that good stuff you are talking about...well...less the perishables such as SChnitzel hahaha. Maybe @JC327 and I get a chance to go shopping together

 

[tweakabell]

OK I would have felt really spoiled if half the boxes hadn't been for my SS. So 4 boxes came today eek poor delivery man but 2 for me 2 for her. SO MANY PRETTIES!!

  Is it wrong that I buy kinderggs for myself all the time? In my defense my cat really loves the yellow eggs that hold the toys. I also love all those things you mentioned and also maultaschen and spaetzle.  The hubby and I always wonder if we will find substitutes for them once we move to the states.  Its so nice to find ladies with similar experiences on here.
I just made spaetzle last week!

Yummy! Glad you were able to find it where you live.

Well, to get the stems replaced costs $215 each and all 4 need to be replaced. I almost started crying right then and there, but I called the Nissan dealer and they said they can replace them with standard stems and it will only be $5 each. I wanted to hug the girl over the phone, I'll probably hug her when I go in for my appointment on Monday. Thank God for that girl.

Anyway, I am writing this because I was going to go get wrapping paper for my SS gifts but became such a nervous wreck that I wasn't even capable of driving anywhere (though I was already 30 minutes from home). But once I found out what the dealership could do I managed to have a few genius ideas and thus wound up buying my SS one more gift.

I'm going to make custom notebooks for her. And by custom I mean, I bought standard mini notebooks and I'm going to add quotes on the front of each one.
Glad you were able to get that sorted out  I can imagine you had tiny heart attacks when you first heard that. The notebook idea is super sweet!

You are much more creative than I am!  I would love them!

To add to the Germany discussion, I lived in Kaiserslautern for four years and I miss the Christmas marts and have to buy lebkuchen every year.

Yay! someone else who lived in Germany.
