So far it's worked for me, and while I thought I would get bored, I haven't. The built-in cheat days break in just when I'm getting bored, and then I go right back. It truly is everything in moderation. Only I would do a "congratulations, you're quitting spending so much money" shopping spree.

on that

Karin - that is almost exactly how I have not only lost the weight but have maintained it now for a few years! I don't really "diet" - it really works

You're definitely not the only one on here with a sweet tooth. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, one that it definitely to the point that it isn't healthy. A co-worker and I are going to do a 3-day no sugar challenge starting tomorrow. We're not allowed any refined sugar or added sugar, so basically no sweets or even sugar in our coffee. We are allowed fruit though, so that'll have to satisfy the sweet tooth. I'll let you know how it goes, but i'm pretty sure by day 2 i won't be the most pleasant person!!!

Day 1 -

Day 2 -

Day 3 -

It was fun. The boys are all at camp, so for the next 2 weeks we're 'empty nesters'... I ended up going back to Nordies tonight to get the Khaki/Clair duo, and (by mistake) got the Khaki single eye shadow .

Iron Man was an interesting movie - I watch all those kinds with hubby

Hey, sometimes empty nest is a lil fun

Aw shucks, that is too bad about the eyeshadow

I got Gris liner today - very purrty!

ahhhhhh, I have always had a realllllly bad sweet tooth

I found that if I have something sweet then the next day, I want something sweet again at the same time. But if I don't have any, then I find that I don't crave it. I have cut waaaaayy back on the sugar. I only have a lil bit in my coffee & then once in several weeks we'll share a piece of cheesecake or a doughnut. Sugar is a tough nut to crack cause its like crack

not that I know what crack is like...just sayin

But good for you if you can cut back. I guess High Fructose Corn Syrup is a real

so I don't buy anything that has it in anymore. Kashi makes great tasting cereals with much better ingredients. I stopped eating cereals because of all the junk in them. Now its only a banana & nuts or an egg & fruit. And, like Karin I eat pretty much the same things every day.

Hows the house coming

Thanks darling!!

As for RALs I wonder why they haven't introduced new shades since they were released...

They're great!!!

I did have the chance to take a look at the eyeshadow duos very quickly. Is the Khaki one the same as the vert khaki single eyeshadow in the fall collection? I hope you all have a great sunday

Hi!!

It's great to have a newbie around!!!

Thanks dear!!

I hope we do get to do some girly stuff but I'm not counting on it... mom's coming for work issues, so she'll be busy most of the time. But having her around for breakfast, lunch and dinner will be great!!!

If only my dad would come too!!

LOL Totally -- the first 3 days are torture -- I get so moody! If I give up sugar, then I think I need something to replace it -- like clothes or makeup

I need to follow your lead and really cut back. I starting buying Kashi -- I like the Go Lean Crunch (no corn syrup but I guess it still has lots of sugar). I am trying to eat healthier snacks like raw unsalted almonds or organic almond butter on whole wheat, which is good -- and I love salads for dinner . . . but then sometimes I am like a crazy person looking for chocolate LOL I need to just get over that hump of a sugar fast, and then maybe I won't crave it as much!!

Me!!!

It's gorgeous, it's the kind of shade I can't resist, don't know why!!! As a teenager, I bought a shade like that from Revlon's collection "Virtual Violet" after watching a pic with a plumy smokey with gold eyeliner that has "haunted" me forever!!

Anyway, it's very pretty and it's texture it's amazing. It's a bit more smokey once applied, at least in my lids!!

Re: Chanel Discussion & Must Haves

I just finished cataloging my nail polishes, and I only accidentally purchased doubles of only 3 polishes! Pretty good considering I'm nearing 400 polishes!!

I ordered a couple more Chanel Polishes with the free shipping, Rose De Vents, Lotus Rouge, and Diabolic...and a backup of Paradoxal. I thought about getting another Particuliere, but it doesn't appear to be LE, so it can wait.
