thanks so much! that's so handy!

thanks ladies! great to share this with you, my friends think i'm insane for spending mone on this "torture", but i know it'll be worth it! no more (also painful) waxing! i'm not sure what brand this cream is as its covered by the pharmacy tag but says 4% lidocaine, they told me approx 30 minutes before the treatment, maybe i'll try the 40-50 mins next time so it has more time to "sink it". if i survive the next appt., i'm going to go for underarms in the same appt! i'll let you know how it goes!!! LOL and I'll be thinking of that 40-Year Old Virgin scene!

OMG some parts on the side areas of the bikini area were painful despite the cream! nothing excruciating, but still painful. lol, i broke out in sweat part way! But the technician was very good, gave be a break here and there and finished in 1/2 an hour. the next treatment is supposed to be less painful....i hope they're right. right now i don't think i can do both bikini and underarms in the same treatment.

hmm...interesting read...thanks!

after much debate, we've changed our ceremony time to 4pm =) with dinner at 6pm. yay!

congrats and welcome! happy planning!!

i'm going this weekend to order my Paigely! i'm so excited and nervous at the same time! did you ladies order your veil when you ordered your gown?

phew! the day after soreness has finally eased off!

I also have this room map for the Royal, its from 2008, so I'm not sure if this is how the resort still looks, but just in case this is of value to any of you ladies. http://robino.info/Atlantis/royal_pdc_map_2008.pdf

Feeling good though - 3 days of eating healthy and shredding with Jillian! I hope this soreness eases up a bit though! I can only do two "real" pushups! haha Sticking to the knee ones for now. the "press" in the squat and press gets me everytime, weird underarm/side muscles are sore I sure hope the soreness eases off too! working on the healthy eating - cheated a bit during a family dinner last night, but oh well, back on today!

i love both the cricut and a big shot (similar working as cuttlebug) the cricut is great for letters and more intricate designs. the cuttlebug and big shot can do embossing and also cuts dies. besides wedding stuff, i find i use the cricut more for scrapbooking and the big shot for card making. if you only want to get one, i say go with the cricut. have fun!

Yippeee!!! 150!!!!!

AND I bought my dress a size too small on purpose. Tomorrow morning, level 1 and I have a date! Wish me luck and I WILL be reporting in tomorrow. I need you all to keep me motivated and on track. Please help. committed Christa. YOU CAN DO IT!

i know! i've been waiting for these boots to come in from my Beyond the Rack purchase!!! =P

Definately go pick it up and open it! The sender would probably worry if you they knew it's just sitting there at the store. Enjoy!

We will be travelling with our guests mostly on the same flight, I think it will make the flight less long. We will arrive 4 days before our wedding, due to flight pricing, but we will be extending our trip for a couple more days after guests have gone =)

Thought I would save some girls time though. Thanks for letting us know. I hope it works if I send it to the mail depot just across the border....

Thanks for the recommendation!

Yay! My Cards & Pockets samples were shipped today! Can't wait to start on my invites!

I went there once after a flight - I was jet lagged - it was horrible ! SAME! ingrowns are the worse!!! None of those prevention creams worked on that area, and that's a darn sensitive area. And thanks for the tip, will try to sleep earlier the night before

my arms, chest and quads are sore today....must find energy somewhere to do it all again today.....!!!

Congrats and welcome! (Yay Canada! ) =)

wow, they're beautiful! and so real looking!

borrowed my friend's sister's copy until mine arrives. i just tried it, and it's great! short, to the point and makes your muscles burn!
