The back of the face is actually an off-white.. the face is probably an inch in diameter, so I especially <3 it because I am blind like a bat and can see it easily

"an update on the spin pin.... these things are amazing! i can do intense workouts & even went surfing with my spin pins in & my hair does not budge. im totally in love. anyone considering them should definitely try it out, esp if you have a need for a tight hairdo that is not a ponytail (& also if you cant french braid your own hair)"

i picked mine up on saturday at target in wilmington! they're awesome. i wore it all day yesterday and worked out twice and they didn't budge!

Update on the $5 Star magazine year subscription from early June

My first two issues arrived today (7/5 and 7/19)

7/12/2010 5:16:28 PM

^ ME TOO!

i'm only slightly disappointed cause they have had a lot of bachelor/bachelorette stuff and i don't watch that
but i still read about it

7/12/2010 6:22:45 PM

Ooooh I got told - I only got one magazine today.

7/12/2010 7:29:37 PM

well we all know i love these kimono dresses...

i'm trying to decide how i feel about these particular dresses...









[Edited on July 13, 2010 at 8:51 AM. Reason : there are more ]

7/13/2010 8:47:04 AM

oh f it...

i ordered them all...

except the third one because it only comes in small...and that's NEVER happening...they also don't have any of them in my normal size so i'm going to size up to see if that works since is has seemed to with the others

my guess is they are all actually out of stock and i won't end up getting any of them...because target likes to fool you like that when they have something you've never seen before...

i can always return them back if they suck...

I like those dresses

7/13/2010 9:38:07 AM

where did you get them from? they are cute!

7/13/2010 8:03:59 PM

I tried one of those on at Target

it was pretty awful, my boobs are too big for that kind of V neck

aside from the fact that the elastic waist hit me at just the wrong place, so I looked preggers or something

7/13/2010 8:29:21 PM

^^target


^i already have it in 2894392749823 colors...but they are all solid....haha

7/13/2010 11:46:02 PM

Anyone had a brazilian straightening system done on their hair?

7/13/2010 11:52:51 PM

i guess this is the one they didn't have in your size but this is my fav!

7/13/2010 11:58:59 PM

yeah...i was sad

7/14/2010 12:00:25 AM

the other 3 are still really cute though. esp 1 and 2

oh me too! i love those 80s style dresses with the elastic band that hits around the waist but because my waist is high, the dress hits me funny and it doesn't look good

7/14/2010 10:08:24 AM

Lol, when i said brazilian I did not mean a waxing

7/14/2010 11:47:49 AM

Isn't that what iheartkisses had done a couple weeks ago?

^^ Great find Regina! That's an awesome deal. I'm getting my Brazillian done for free but I think I would have bought it otherwise. I'll keep an eye on that website though, I haven't seen it before

7/16/2010 10:35:57 AM

the ladies in the "what are you thinking" thread got me thinking...about pedicures

i've never had one (gross/i'm a horrible female)

where are good places to get one? and what exactly do they entail? i mean i want MORE than just getting my toenails painted (i could care less about that part). my feet are like really gross from wearing sandals and running.

so where in Raleigh is a good place to get one done? and is that all it is - just a regular pedicure? or are there like levels/different types?

thanksssss

7/16/2010 2:22:51 PM

I go to The Nail Castle on Creedmoor. It's a reasonable price, they do a great job, and I love their chairs

but they soak your feet, scrub them w/ a pumice paddle, massage/scrub from your knee down w/ a salt scrub, file or cut your toenails, trim up the cuticles, then paint that's a basic pedi.

additional costs are for nicer scrubs, parrafin treatment, etc.

Basic pedicure entails cutting toenails, filing toenails, scrubbing feet w/ some sort of pumice stone to remove dead skin, cutting cuticles...and painting your toenails of course

Every nail salon is different on how they have their different levels of pedicures. The basic pedicure should run ~$25 at salons. I go to a place in Crabtree for a "parafin pedicure" where they wrap my feet in hot wax to remove dead skin. That is ~$35.


Oh yeah, they also massage your feet and give you a leg massage.

7/16/2010 2:41:45 PM

Well this is what I am getting ready to get

Quote :

"Jet-Spa foot soak, clipping, shaping, exfoliation, cuticle treatment, callus treatment, foot scrub, mask, paraffin dip, moisturizing treatment, massage & polish"

But it's at a place here in Morehead City. If you ever visit the area and want to get anything done make sure you go to Oasis Day Spa...it's pretty awesome.

7/16/2010 2:42:58 PM

This is what I get at Diva Nails in Crabtree

Quote :

"DIVA Deluxe Pedicure - Full spa pedicure, plus foot scrub, relaxing massage, warm paraffin, masque, sea salts & therapy oil. $35.00"

7/16/2010 2:46:51 PM

just a heads up that you may notice all the dead skin/calluses/etc that are removed when you run -- not a reason to not get a pedicure, but i still cringe when they slough off all that stuff i built up as protection from running

i also don't get pedicures very often (and i live in flip-flops year round), so maybe your feet can manage without the calluses if you just keep up with it...

7/16/2010 2:51:34 PM

i haven't had a pedicure in 2 years...

i really want one

7/16/2010 3:06:32 PM

I had a pedicure once and didn't really enjoy it. But I do like getting my toenails painted at a nail salon.

7/16/2010 3:17:56 PM

^^^ yea that is true. i've NEVER had one and last time i ran 10 miles i had this callous that turned into a blister because it was rubbing so bad. so i just kinda want that stuff gone for right now. then i guess i'll see what happens after that.

and my heels area all gross from sandals/walking barefoot. i never wear shoes. my feet are just gross.

this will be a post-bar exam treat!

and i kinda want orange toenails for some reason. not pumpkin orange but a pretty orange. hehe

7/16/2010 4:04:49 PM

I like to run/walk barefoot on the beach, so I don't really worry about building them up for my shoes.

7/16/2010 4:48:08 PM

wow went to nordstroms yesterday for their anniversary sale...went a little crazy probably should go through and eliminate some stuff

well...

i was informed by my mother last night that the dress i had on "doesn't look good on you at all...you don't need to wear it anymore"...

it just happens to be one the dresses i have 2348479283 of

whatever. if you like it, go with it. it's all about confidence

7/18/2010 4:42:13 PM

If it's the one you posted pics of yourself in - one could only wish they looked that great in dresses.

7/18/2010 9:49:39 PM

is it the ones from target you just got? I saw a friend on friday that was wearing it and it wasn't very flattering on. You have a different body type though

7/18/2010 9:53:16 PM

^^that's the one...and thanks a lot


^yeah...now it makes me think the people that said they looked really good were just being nice and that i've wasted money on something that i look like shit in...

i mean...i dress like a hobo a lot but when i dress up i like to think i look fairly nice, not "that doesn't look good on your at all and you shouldn't wear it anymore"

7/19/2010 2:12:38 PM

It's because your mom isn't staring at your boobs or legs.

7/19/2010 2:20:55 PM

oh she also makes it a point to point out to me " i can see your breasts...you should pin that" and "don't you think that's a little too short for you"

7/19/2010 2:27:00 PM

aha... i love when my mom says "i can see your cleavage"

GOOD! THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING FOR

7/19/2010 2:30:38 PM

My mom does that all the time too. But my mom is stacked so I always just blame it on her.

^^^^ No problem! I really think it looks good on you!

7/19/2010 3:56:24 PM

is that the same type of dress that you wore to the TWW thing at Bada? If it is, your mom had a moment of insanity because that thing look amazing on you. I told you that and I am not a good bull-shitter.

7/19/2010 4:00:22 PM

no...she likes that one

this is an example of said dress...like i said...i have like 10 of them



[Edited on July 19, 2010 at 4:11 PM. Reason : sdlfjkl]

7/19/2010 4:08:56 PM

ok...those last ones I bought...the ones with the pattern really don't look good on me at all...

they are made out of a different type of material and sewn differently...so they hang differently...


at least I can get that money back

7/19/2010 8:41:06 PM

Today's Living Social deal: Three Sessions of Laser Hair Removal for Bikini Line ($199) or Three Sessions of Laser Hair Removal for Mid-Brow, Upper Lip, Chin, Ears, Sideburns, Underarms, Navel, Feet/Toes, Hands/Fingers, or Neck ($99)

I'm strongly considering getting the underarms. I would love to get my bikini line done, but not $200 love it.

I was about to say you look WAY better in the pattern one then the girl i saw (she had on the yellow/ purple one). Sorry your mom said something callous about the way you look in it because it's really flattering
