Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Aww, thank you Momma Spy!

Six years married, and we've been together coming up on 14 years! We're going to a wedding tomorrow (our actual anniversary), so celebrating tonight by taking a little trip down memory lane and having food from the place that catered at our reception - pizza and lasagna!!

And I am so super stoked about the jeans. I want to get down at least one more size, maybe two. But still, that makes me down two sizes since the start of the summer!

Congrats on needing he smaller jeans! YAY! And congrats on your anniversary! How sweet of your hubby to make your day special with flowers!!

Enjoy your day!
How did you get the hairdryer for free? It is your lucky day!

Karin, Happy anniversary

for your new hairdryer & the skinny jean size.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Thank you Cheryl and Sandra!

I know it seems silly to worry about a jeans size, but good grief it's such a pain to lose weight! Pizza and lasagna seems like a good way to celebrate...and then it's right back on the healthy-eating wagon! I'm really starting to learn everything in moderation.

No, it feels like a great & satisfying, rewarding feeling to go down a couple of sizes. But, you're right about moderation. Tonight was my "junk food night"

But then I'm really good about it the rest of the time & I made myself run an extra lap

on the treadmill

Sorry, I must have mis-read or not pay enough attention!

But it is still cute!

Yesterday I was at another Chanel counter, one far from the town, and PE was sold out too! I think it should be sold out everywhere. We love pink blushes here, I must say. I tried Rose Temptation and it looks a little dirty on me, so I'll pass.

What a great day Karin! Happy Anniversary, and may the two of you have many many more!

And big congrats on the jeans, it is so not silly that you're happy about going down in size, because the emphasis is on eating healthy, which is good for everything.

You lucky girl! That cheesecake is divine!

It is worth an extra workout to get to indulge

I got my Binkini Peach glossimer today -- so pretty. I told DH that he should get me a bouquet of glossimers one day LOL

 

[Miss QQ]

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

^^Enjoy your Bikini Peach! He is so sweet! Won't that be amazing, a bouquet of glossimers! I lined by glossimers on my dressing table last night and they are still there, for me to admire. I have 13, and 3 are finishing.

Yes, very true, but apparently they have reformulated their eyeshadows and the new formula is supposedly very good.
I plan to get a bit more from the Chanel fall collection, so I am very positive I can skip. But in general it looks to me that the cosmetic companies have stepped up and bring out better products.

I am still thinking about that cheesecake this morning -- I think we might have to go there when my littlest one turns 5 (gasp, where is the time going??) in a few weeks!
I'm sure your hubby will be right on board with the glossimer bouquet! Now that is a way to a girl's heart!!

Thanks -- it really is a beautiful shade of peachy pink! I just had to get it after I heard you talk about it

I love to admire my glossimers too.

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

Its a shame that Chanel.com didn't put the new products on their site while they were offering free shipping

& neither did Neimans
