Girly Stuff

[meepitsmeagan]

WO failed my hair, so I went to a low sulfate shampoo/conditioner and wash about once a week. I do an egg wash every now and again. Maybe this summer I will be able to go back to aloe washes, but for the winter it just wasn't cutting it. SO DRY HERE RIGHT NAO. As far as length goes, it's getting long again; almost to my nipples.

I've been using a Norwex Body Cloth on my face once a day and really liking the ease and turnout of that. No pre-period breakout! Whoo!

Obviously it's late and I've done some bio studying and my brain is gone. At least I'm not drunk!

And someone recommend me a good BB (I think?) cream. I'm tired of doing moisturizer, primer, and foundation. All-in-one = YES.

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream! I LOVE it.

I can't wait to get my hair cut on Thursday. lol. I torture myself all the time - I don't schedule an appointment until I HATE my hair and want to shave it all off, and then inevitably I can't get an appointment for like 3 weeks out. It's been over 6 months since I had it cut? And my layers are all grown out and I'm not even able to wear it curly/natural right now because I have a triangle going on.


What's everyone use for face wash? I picked up some new stuff about a month ago... some all natural essential oil-y thing that sounded really awesome, and I liked it for about a week. And now omg, I have been stuck in the worst breakout I have had in a SUPER LONG time. Maybe my Clean & Clear was working better than I thought.

I alternate between this local product line called Sahara 27, Aveeno Daily, a weekly dose of MaryKay microdermabrasion and then either straight baking soda or soda/honey masque on occasion.

What is bb cream? I bought some cover girl tinted moisturizer with bb cream in it and I don't even know what the heck it is.

This is why I now schedule my haircuts while I'm still at the salon. I've found that the seventh week is when I hate my hair, so my appointment is scheduled then.

I'm using this stuff with good results so far!

I washed my hair with just conditioner the other night after swimming and it's been awesome! I thought I was going to wake up to a big ball of ugh and such has not been the case.

Does anyone know where the heck I can find size 32D bras, preferably in store for not a ridiculous price?

 

[stardogs]

I get mine through our local bra shop, none of the chains have them but the independent place rocks and they don't cost any more than "regular" sizes.

 

[milos_mommy]

my local bra shop is an hour away and their cheapest bras are $62.

I just bought some jeans from American Eagle...one of which has the moniker "jeggings".

WHO AM I??

Can't help you with the pricing (our shop has bras starting around $35), but mine *will* mail customers products if you pay via phone. Not sure if that helps.

Ugh, I ended up going to Victoria's Secret and paying 120$ for 3 bras (which is way more than I wanted to or really could afford ). Even Victoria's Secret only carried a few bras in my size (2 that I got were actually really slightly too small.

I wish I could buy bras for $15 at TJ MAXX or target like I used to. I'm still pissed I spent so much and couldn't find anything cheaper.

I wear a 36D and buy mine at Walmart... lol But that might be luck!

That's actually a pretty "normal" size - it's the tiny band size (below 34) and 'regular' cup size that is so hard to find or conversely the 'regular' band sizes with large cups (EE/F+) from what I understand.

ah! Okay, gotcha. lol I have never looked for anything smaller than a 34, so didn't realize. I feel sorry for anyone that has to get the uncommon stuff though!

Even 32 seems to be difficult to find in anything bigger than a C, and even that I don't see too often.
It also sucks with sizes like that because if you manage to find one at a typical department store, they don't always have the proper support which of course can lead into issues all of it's own.

I'm very lucky to have a LaSenza outlet not too far away from me, I get to go stock up and NOT empty my bank account lol

Look here, too: http://www.herroom.com/

It has a bra finder that will help you figure out what you need to be looking for.

My local Target has a decent selection up to D cup, and then there may be a couple larger cups hanging around, but not enough to be able to get any kind of variety of band sizes. It sucks.

I really, really need a new bra, and I'm tired of cramming myself into a D.

And just because I want to be whiny for the moment, I want a *pretty* bra. Basically unless I want to spend out the wazoo, I'm stuck with bras that my grandma would wear. In the stores around me, the pretty bras are mostly B, go up to a C, then kind of stop there. *whine*

Every once in a while, I think maybe being an A cup isn't so bad afterall...

Oddly, I measured myself this weekend using things linked on the Reddit thread and came up with 32D. I don't believe it. I found some cheap, cute bras online, but no way am I going to buy them without trying one on. Because I REALLY don't believe it. Nope.
I haven't gone anywhere to look yet. We have a bra boutique in town but it's really expensive...
