Speaking of nail polish, I love my nailes painted but am so impatient for them to dry. I have had to re-do my right foot twice already today because I mucked up the paint doing stuff instead of just sitting still for 10 minutes .

I would love to try anything Epicure .

Coyote if you have a beauty supply store nearby, get some drying spray and sit with a fan on them for a few mins

I am impatient, I might sit while my nails dry, but not my toes - I will hobble around with toe seperators in LOL

[SassyAshley]

That steamer does look interesting.

Does anyone know if it works well for popcorn, I see they sell it for popcorn and I would love to stop buying microwave popcorn.

The chipster is pretty fun. My fave product so far though is the steamer. Don has now started putting pretty much everything in the microwave for 3 minutes. What a guy!

Looks like I will have to stick to online ordering, just looked up consultants in my area and there are none , there used to be quite a few. My guy is the same no sodium so this would be great as I am worried I will forget to check and use something I shouldn't when cooking.

HAHAHA, sorry You can do a book party from where you are and maybe get some stuff for free You can feel free to PM me if you want to chat about that. Or you are most welcome to place an order anytime! I'm totally hooked, my hubby can't have sodium so it's perfect here so we can still have yummy food that's safe for him to eat!

I have heard if you spray PAM on your nails it sets almost instantly. Not sure if it works as I never paint my nails but have had a few different people tell me to try it.

I use a quick drying top coat, since my son likes his nails done too I slap that on him or we end up with nailpolish all over the house. It is a good way to teach him to sit still for a bit,but he is still 3 lol. And he picks his own colours, he loves it And my whole family hates it... eh whatever. I don't have a girl so I'm going to enjoy this, I'm thinking it'll be the last time I get to lol. I only recently started to play with them again. I ordered some from nailpolishcanada site, zoya pixie something, and a minnie mouse mini collection But I actually found the Sally Hansen stuff I got last really well, I'm just impatient when I apply it. There are drops you can get that are supposed to dry it quickly as well, but I've never tried them.

Epicure? Sure I'm game. Nothing too hot spicey though. Lemony is good, garlicy, and of course chips.

Hour left until I have to go pick up the kid. It's been a nice relaxing day, I read a bit, had a nap. All 3 pets curled up in the bed with me. Love being in the middle of the furry sandwich lol. Didn't get stuff done though. Oh well!

[FallenPixels]

I love the Zoya pixies from the last collection, not such a huge fan of the summer colours so am waiting for fall to buy the new one

[dlee]

You sure can, or you can email me if you are more comfortable with that I love my crisper too, I use it everyday!!

Just looked up the Chipster...oh my goodness. FAT FREE CHIPS EVERY DAY?!?!?! AHhhhhhhhh!!!

And it's only $20 online! oh boy oh boy.

Anyone in Vancouver does Epicure? Or do those of you who are consultants get "commission"? Would love to support!

[army_girl29]

I love my soda stream! Buddy i would love any of their diet products incl the new chrystal light ones - rrrl

i TRIED TO QUOTE ARMYGIRL76 BUT IT DIDN'T WORK.

[slambert]

We've been looking at the soda stream for a long time too, it look so cool! I've held off because we don't drink pop here and I just don't know how much else we could make with it.

[Peachykeen2007]

Yes I do, however if you are someone who drinks a bunch in a day than honestly I don't think it would be cheaper

I absolutely love it and was one of the greatest gifts my sister gave me - I may only have a bottle or two a week as my problem is never drinking it fast enough before it goes flat so this is why it is good for me (smaller bottle) also I like that they have a trade in system with the CO2 canisters and a website that you can order the hard to find flavors not available in store here in Canada

Currently on Kool-Aid Grape that my parents brought back from the states when they were there - in some places they were $2 cheaper for the refills as well

Anybody have a soda stream I drink Perrier water like it going outta style so I was doing math( yup I was) and it seems so much cheaper

[Peachykeen2007]

It is not just pop! My kids love the Kool-Aid series, and I like the adult mixers as well - they have sparkling water too as well as tea

[PammieD]

Oh Slam...nail polish is your friend. Unless you have a 7 month old...then...beware cause nothing will dry fast enough for her!

Revlon has a decent quick dry top coat. My personal fave is "good to go" and as Pixels said, the quick dry spray is good as well.

I alllways use a base and top coat though to protect my nails and to harden/protect the colour. Then I can always reapply top coat if I keep it on more than a couple of days (hahaha...yah right! )

Well today can be added to a bad day as well, with a good outcome so far..... I was at Shoppers and at the till, When I noticed that the diamond in my engagment ring had fallen out..... Yes I was in a total panic and close to tears.... The teller asked if I needed a medic, I could barely get the words out to explain what happened. We searched all around to see if we could find it and no luck, she called the manager and they decided that when they were doing their cleaning they would let everyone know that there may be a diamond missing and would see if they could find it. Fast forward 20 minutes, I was headed to our jeweler to see what it would cost to replace that diamond.... when.... I found IT!!! It have fallen off in my pocket and by happy accident I found it. So now I am without my ring for a week or 2, but it will be fixed and cleaned and as good as new.
