Seriously though, I wonder if I should keep this blog up any longer since I would like to continue blogging but it's going to be focused on my day to day which is quite boring...so feel free to unfollow haha.<br />
<br />
Today I just wanted to post a few photos of great deals I find at Aldi! I've really fallen in love with them with several items, I'll be updating this post with new photos and favorites. For now just a few items.<br />
<br />
First up are Peruvian Mayocoba beans (taste so amazing and they cook so fast!) - you really can't mess up these beans and it's a superb price, beats Walmart!<br />

<br />
Next up is Goya's Mojo Criollo - this stuff is so yummy if you use it to marinate any form of chicken or steak for the grill, my favorite way to use is as a marinade to skirt steak, talk about yum!<br />

Last item is rice, no latin cuisine is complete without white rice! I know it's not the healthiest person but I have adults here that won't eat the brown or basmati or jasmine! So I comply! Under $5 for 10 pounds, total steal, this is SAM's club and Costco pricing right here without a membership.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wanted to share a ring I have fallen in love with more and more everyday (other than my wedding rings)! When I least expect it I get a titanium diamond cut right hand ring (which can be used as a wedding band for anyone). What makes this ring so special is it's weight, it feels so substantial and expensive! It's smooth curves allows the ring to glide on and off with such ease and makes it very comfortable. Let's talk about the shine, this baby shines! I receive so many compliments on its brilliance due to the diamond cuts. When I say it's truly unisex, I meant it. I was in the kitchen at work and I notice my coworker (male) was wearing my same exact ring!! He said he adores it and never wants to remove it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What's fabulous about this ring is you can pair it with hematite <b>and</b> sterling silver jewelry! It's super versatile!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you're looking for an uber affordable and classic but stylish ring, pick this up! </span><br />

Here's how we spent out Sunday! As I'm cleaning/cooking, he's crawling, standing and opening cabinets, playing with pumping supplies I don't use and Tupperware. <br />

This was also out first full day to use cloth diapers! He's wearing a prefold and econobum cover. He's so comfortable in them! Cleaning poop isn't as bad as people make it out to be :-)<br />

Just checking in and letting you know I'm still alive and same (at least I think so)! Wanted to report that my monthly menses has come back (9/9/13) :-(. I thought I'd get lucky since I've been back at work since April 26th and pumping at work, nursing at night/in the mornings and all weekend but no sign of Aunt Flo...until last week. Oy, hey, can't complain too much, I haven't had it since March 2012!! That seems so far away. So I've been doing some research because I detest pads and tamping just aren't healthy, so I think I'm moving to a menstrual cup, the rest month will be messy due to the leaning curve. But in the end it's so worth it. Helping the environment by reducing waste and reducing my chances of TSS (toxic shock syndrome) and infections (vaginal and yeast). Plus, with some you can still have sex, huge plus! I kind of had a feeling my cycle was returning since I was cramping last week and the week before. Plus I've been in a pissy mood for over a week. So pissy that I let my son cry it out for two nights. I was so exhausted and frustrated and cried like crazy. Didn't work the second one. He just wouldn't calm down and now every time he wakes in the crib he cries Bloody Mary. Great, I broke my son. I'm such a weakling and I can't do it again. Maybe further down the line, who knows. For now I'll continue to read the "no-cry sleep solution" and not cry too hard if it doesn't work. Blast hormones, making me do what I swore I'd never do. <br />
<br />
If you want to know, Daniel is 8.5 months now. Pulling up on furniture, standing assisted and unassisted, opening cabinets and pulling everything out and is showing separation anxiety. Most of the time he won't be carried by anyone but myself and sometimes daddy.<br />
<br />
He is still nursing and I'm still pumping. It's a piece of cake now, he's a nursing champ when not distracted which is almost always. He's on solids too, avocado was his first food and he still loves it. Pears are another favorite, along with peaches. I make a lot of his food for home eating. But when we go out I try to give him some of why I'm having and a pouch of organic purée's (by Plum or Earths Best or Ella's). I still don't give him water, soon I can give him water if he wakes in the middle of the night. <br />
<br />
W still cosleep with him, he starts the evening in the crib (in our room) and when he wakes at 11pm-1 am, I bring him into bed and nurse him and we fall swiftly to sleep. He won't wake again until 5 or 6 or 7 am to nurse a little and play! He's not sleeping as much as he should. I'll be discussing it with his doctor to see if I should worry. <br />
<br />
My other worry is vaccines...I really don't want to give them to him. They don't give you immunity! *Sigh*<br />
<br />
He has 6 teeth now and I feel a molar so that makes 7! He doesn't get a break, he's always teething now. I feel like that combined with the separation anxiety are what determines its a bad time to let him cry it out. <br />

What people say is true, it's all too fast and it makes me want more babies! I went back to work over a month ago (16 week maternity leave) and day 1 was not so bad. There are a few things that are the most difficult. <br /><br />Pumping! It's not fun, I had my first run in with peeling skin last Friday, not fun to pump with raw skin. Then there is the fact the maternity room is used by multiple women...so you are likely to go to the room and have to come back over and over again. I've actually had women bang on my door and yell if I was done yet...talk about ruining the flow, wink wink. On the flip side, you get some candy crush time, watch downloaded videos, catch up on text messages, phone calls, clean out your purse. There's plenty to be done. Or you can just relax which I don't do very well unless its bed time. <br /><br />The long work day. Yes, it was long enough to begin with...remember the days when it was 8 hours including your lunch?? Maybe out in the middle of no where the still exists but in the DMV, almost unheard of. Then add in the commute...1.5 hours at minimum. Drive to the metro, find parking for 10 minutes, wait for the train, arrive at your station and walk for 10-15 minutes to your final destination (all while carrying around ice packs and pumping supplies galore plus the water you need to continue producing milk). Did I mention your pumping breaks are not paid? Some companies don't discount your pumping time, but most do and you're lucky if your company is big enough to have a law that makes them provide you with a pumping room and allow unpaid breaks. Again, some companies do have pumping rooms even if the law doesn't make them (I've come across plenty), they're setting an example and preventing a lot of women from giving up Breastfeeding after returning to work. So what do I do about the unpaid breaks? I stay at work longer and get in earlier which means less time with my baby. If I don't arrive early to work I then have to stay late and miss my babies bath time then run to my house to nurse him to sleep. I've been able to get away with just two breaks in a work day if he nurses a lot in the morning and in that case I use my lunch hour to pump and I have 20 minutes in paid breaks. But I don't like doing that bc I'm prone to plugged ducts. Have you ever had mastitis? If you have, then no explanation needed for the horror of it all. <br /><br />For the sake of not making a blog post the length of a book...final part. Missing your babies milestones, this is pretty huge! Baby D rolled over twice last week while I was at work but hr made up for it by doing it at night for me! He struggled getting it done but he did it! <br /><br />I'll leave you with one positive of being the kind of working mom that leaves her baby for a specific amount of time to work (SAHM's included!). The joy I feel the moment I get home, the moment I see his pouty face and knowing only I can soothe him and nothing else will do for him (at least I'd like to think so)! It's a feeling I have never felt and I wouldn't trade it for a trip around the world. <br /><br />That's all for today. I'll be sure to write more now that I have redownloaded this nifty blogging app and I have a ton of time on the train to just write (unless I don't get a seat). Until next time, God bless you all. <br /><br />Wait, you thought I'd do a blog post without a few pictures??

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, where have I been YET AGAIN?! Off carrying a baby, taking baby classes, reading pregnancy books, prenatal yoga, moving twice, giving birth to a baby 2 weeks early without a hospital bag or clean baby clothing, starting contractions on the day my husband had his gallbladder removed after months of dealing with him in pain. Do you want to hear the rest? Didn't think so...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let me tell you something, it is not easy being pregnant, not so much the carrying the baby part (although that is an entire book on its own...) it's all the pressure society places on you. I worked all the way up until contractions began and did everything I could to keep my house in order. And I didn't just work normally, I worked constantly paranoid everything would fall apart when I left BUT I have learned no one is indispensable. How I wished in the USA women would be given the right to take 2 months off before the baby arrives to prepare and rest because you will NEVER rest again. How I wished maternity leave was at least 6 months and paid at least partially, how I wished flex time and working from home was an option. No, we get none of these things, yet I must admit I'm still blessed that I received 2 paid weeks and 4 weeks partially paid during my 16 week leave. I return next Friday (4/26) and I'm so paranoid for leaving my little one for 12 hours a day. I'm afraid of all I'm going to miss. Again, going back to my original idea, if we had more work options, I wouldn't miss so much of the day and wouldn't feel bad. I've been able to be away for 6 hours and be fine until the 5 hour mark hits and then I get antsy. As soon as I'll be getting home from work I'll be placing my little one straight into his bath, nurse him and put him to bed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What have we all been through post-partum you ask?</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 bouts of mastitis (google it, it's CRAPPY) & 24 days of antibiotics (healed now)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">tongue tie that wasn't fixed for 4 weeks (fixed!)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">weaning off of a nipple shield (done)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">still working on acid reflux</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">dealing with gas that wakes up my little man - not eating any dairy, chocolate, nuts, citrus, garlic</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">dealing with low milk supply (finally we're on the same page)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the "H" post pushing out a baby (after using very sexy suppositories, all bueno now)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">healing of an episiotomy (all bueno now)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">still dealing with patchy red itchy skin ALL OVER - it doesn't let me sleep</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">searching for a home (done!)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">dealing with a newborn with a sick hubby and then sick family (everyone is better now, PTL!)</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now I'm dealing with packing to move yet again for a 3rd time in less than a year and going back to work. The home however is much more than I truly expected, can we say double walk in closets?! I can also report my little man is a dream. I adore him and didn't really think I'd be in so much love. It's amazing what a little human can make you feel. When we took him for his 2 month doctor appointment and shots I truly did not expect to be phased...OMG...I cried more than he did, he did cry like crazy but was over it pretty quickly, but when he was poked 4 times and he looked at me with his face questioning me as to why I was allowing him to be hurt I broke down and cried like someone had died. My hubby thinks I'm a wussy. Sadly I also cried when he was circumcised and when he had his frenulum clipped. I don't think I'm a wussy, I'm just a mom now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you missed all my pregnancy pictures, they're all up on my <a href="http://instagram.com/apetitediva" target="_blank">instagram</a> page and I will continue to post up more that I have missed (all the way up until a couple days before labor).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Agosto es Mes Nacional del Café</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Encuesta La Hora del Cafecito </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Los Beneficios de un Cafecito</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Encuesta: La Cafeína no es el Beneficio Mayor</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Agosto es el Mes Nacional del Café y mientras la mayoría de la gente admite que </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
su día no sería el mismo sin una taza de café, Nescafé quería llegar al corazón del </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
romance entre los Latinos y el café. Una nueva encuesta de Wakefield Research </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
para Nescafé encontró que la idea de una pausa durante el día para un cafecito </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tiene mucho más que ver con los beneficios psicológicos que con el estímulo de la </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cafeína. Tomar una taza de café le permite reflexionar y relajarse después de un </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
día de mucho trabajo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the short in English: New research shows that the idea of a break for coffee has psychological benefits more than the affect of coffee. <i>I can personally attest to that.</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Los resultados: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Primero yo, después yo y luego yo – No hable con el amante del café en su vida </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mientras este bebiendo de su café mañanero. Sesenta y ocho (68) por ciento de </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
los bebedores de café ven su taza de la mañana como "tiempo mio" en lugar de </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tiempo para ponerse al día con la familia y amigos. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tranquilidad Sabrosa – Los beneficios psicológicos son mayores que los beneficios </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
físicos de tomar café. Relajación (65 por ciento), comodidad (53 por ciento), y </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
liberar el estrés (40 por ciento) son las tres expectativas principales de la hora del </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
café para los bebedores de café, superando el estímulo aportado por la cafeína </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(38 por ciento) que muchos asocian con el café. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Un descanso durante el día – Tomar un descanso para fumar (13 por ciento)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
vestirse formal (29 por ciento) y tomar un almuerzo de una hora (48 por ciento) ya </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no son las normas en un día de trabajo para los Latino. Sin embargo, uno de los </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
aspectos tradicionales sobrevive: un descanso para el café. Más de la mitad (56 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
por ciento) de los consumidores hispanos que trabajan regularmente toman un </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
descanso para tomar café como parte de su jornada de trabajo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Un día sin café – No subestime la importancia de estos beneficios del cafecito. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Más de 1 de cada 3 (35 por ciento) de bebedores de café piensan que un día sin </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
café sería peor que no dormir lo suficiente.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">yes, so i've been away again, seriously guys, i don't enjoy blogging <b><i>just </i></b>once a month! i was in the hospital and then the hubs was too a day after me so trying to take care of him while i was still recuperating was not easy on me. add the holidays and end of the year @ work which is just plain insanity. yeah, blogging unfortunately didn't fit into my list :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">thank goodness for my 4 weeks of vacation a year, i guess it's worth having tenure! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">so anyways, i leave you with a little collage from my early morning trip to burberry (same day Versace for H and M release). when i say early, i mean mad <i>early, </i>i was there before they opened, since Versace was an utter failure burberry was the only way to make me feel better! we were about 10 people too far back in the H and M line to get a bracelet and the mens section was empty. funny story though, when i was looking out for restocked mens versace items from the dressing room, my sister in law witnessed a tiny middle aged asian women take down 3 men to get the clothing before them! she was held down by 4 security guards and dragged out stating she had no idea why they were kicking her out, smh! the things you will see at these sales...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

I am a pack rat and I've been slowing learning to "let go" of things. Those things today will be some shoes, I would have more to post but my dog, Rocky, has eaten <i>countless </i>pairs of shoes, or I have given them away. Depending if <a href="http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/invite/FLP2XPX3PCJP" target="_blank">BagBorroworSteal.com</a> buys my handbags, I may be posting those for sale here too (Coach, L.A.M.B., Dooney & Burke, Linea Pelle). Also, I have a <i>ton </i>of makeup to sell, most importantly the new stuff never opened, you'll be seeing that soon. --- For now, check out my shoes!<br />

for me! The hubs can't seem to stop surprising me, I truly had to hold back the tears. I walked into the party two days after my actual birthday expecting to meet up with the hubs' cousins before heading out to dinner with my bro and his family. It was small and intimate, which I loved. I had people that mattered to me (and vice versa). There were a couple friends that couldn't make it and I was so sad to not see them, but life happens, right?! one was expecting a baby, sees <i style="font-weight: bold;">life </i>happens! Congrats, E!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enough babbling, I could seriously go on and on and on...for example, I'm testing out new contacts and they suck! HD my butt...(purevision2) and I'm afraid nothing will really work for me, contacts aren't made in my prescription. When you get to a certain level of nearsightedness, they stop making the prescriptions in quarters (.25) so I'm wearing a -10 on my right eye versus the -9.75 I need and -9.5 I've been wearing previously. Glasses are much higher than -10, but they can make those stronger and more precisely than contacts. I h.a.t.e. glasses, been wearing them since 2nd grade and before I was diagnosed nearsighted, I was failed from 2nd grade (the first year) b/c I couldn't read...they thought I was unable to learn until I was given a mandatory eye exam my second year of 2nd grade and the nurse was astounded I was able to function at all 0_0. Ugh -- see, I <i>can </i>babble...smh (did I mention I was placed in ESOL too and my only language was English...I didn't learn Spanish until I was 14 years old!)</div>

hi ladies and gents, yes, i'm still mia, i still have tendinitis, going through physical therapy and a bump in the road with that (why does it take 11 weeks to approve ONE physical therapy session?!?!)...now the pain is as severe as the beginning and i need to start all over again...ughh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyways, came back from vegas last week and G (hubby) came back sick and i caught whatever plague he caught in the poker room...so i'm barely conscious. as i write this i am coughing up a storm. i called out of work today (didn't call out at all last week). so back to work tomorrow, can't miss more work, vegas and a wedding from two weeks ago has me backed up already, argh. anyways, through sun or rain tomorrow night G & i will be having dinner at one of our favorite restaurants for our religious wedding anniversary (we're weird, we celebrate both civil and religious dates, haha). here's a few shots from our wedding 3 years ago :)</div>

for our anniversary he bought me a camcorder (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-VIXIA-Camcorder-Internal-Memory/dp/B004HW7E7E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315363035&sr=8-1">canon vixia hf r20</a>) and i love it already, i had tested quite a few and narrowed it down to the canon, it had the most bang for my buck. and for my early bday gift, he got me my long time coveted michael kors hamilton! i already had the outlet version but i always wanted the north south version and while we were in vegas he got it for me, don't laugh, i cried (i blame pms). thank you so much love :) i ordered the zippered long jet set wallet to go with it last week, should have by tomorrow! yay!!</div>

I move in 15 days, have to buy a new car by next Wednesday, started physical therapy on Monday and I've lost way too many hours at work and I stand to lose more for the next couple weeks for more dr appts. I'm most scared about two things, my work load and packing with tendinitis. Just fabulous...<br /><br />I want to touch a controversial topic, the NYX $1.20 sale that apparently never happened, haha. I must say, I'm slightly amused at how outraged people are. I understand they screwed up and all, but dang, some people have reported them to the BBB and reported them as a fraud...quite the accusation! I don't want to discuss this at great length, just wanted to say, b r e a t h e. I get it...but seriously, some people watched the sale for 24 hours or more, I give up after 10 min and move on bc other things are more important. To each their own, right?<br /><br /><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5030/5681802108_0fa0531917_z.jpg" width="640" height="383" alt="IMAG0810"></a><br /><br />I'll leave you with the view I've been having every night for a few weeks. So nice to go home while it's still bright out!<br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08048037049692649794noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476576541568541430.post-32832694462509392402011-04-26T00:38:00.003-04:002011-04-26T09:55:17.513-04:00brunchy brunchy and my new raybans<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Omw to another doctor appointment for my right arm, so I decided to share a few pics with you :). A set of girlfriends and I have brunch at least once a month. This past Saturday we went to one of my favorite places for breakfast, Original House of Pancakes in Rockville, MD. I ordered a Dutch Baby with fresh strawberries, yum. It's a super lightweight inflated pancake.

Because my car is acting like the Poltergeist all over again. I used the hubs car. No car for a few weeks, no bueno! It truly is a long story, so I'll spare you. long story short, its gonna cost a cool grand, *fabulous*. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

We were depleted from shopping that morning, and me from my Brazilian wax. The whole day my mind was in the clouds from that wax. We had some amazing food and I have proof of how amazing it was...just look at the before and after! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Service here was awesome, food arrived fast despite being a full house with a wait. Food is super fresh, cage free eggs, while wheat pancakes the size of your large plate, for example. They have amazing yelp.com reviews too. Reminds me, I need to write a review on them... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My waffle melted in my mouth, the bacon was good, the eggs were just so delicious *salivating*. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We spent the rest of the day house rental shopping, shopping and eating at Five guys along with amazing boba. My girls fiance was snooping around my car in the back seat and found an old picture of an older couple dated 1978...the lady looked so mean and creepy and the guy looked like he had "checked out" of life...very creepy. We threw it away after showing my hubs...gave me chills. That photo has been in my car since I bought it 4 yrs ago, no one until now found it. I have a feeling its what has made my car crazy. Engine died at 39,000 miles, battery died 3 times, fuse box is in need of replacement now ($1k repair), and more. Anyways, let's forget about my previously haunted car... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">random fact, have you noticed i use a lot of exclamation marks and "haha's" and "LOL's"?? it's because in real life i </span><s><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">obnoxiously laugh out loud</span></s><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> chuckle and express everything with big eyes and much excitement, that's just how i am, loca. anyways - i am super excited and can't wait to put together an outfit (last second as always since i never plan ish). onto more domestic topics...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">i waxed my legs on my own for the first time with non-microwavable wax! OH MY GOSH, it did not hurt as much as i thought it would and took me an hour to do both legs (just half). with time i'll be more efficient and i'm sure i can get the time down to 30-40 min. so yesterday i had the smart idea of buying a wax system since i couldn't justify paying for both a brazilian wax and leg wax and i know for a fact i could never give myself a brazilian wax (i doubt anyone can do that whole thing on their own, LOL). then i further justified buying a wax system by reminding myself i could wax my arms, underarms, lip, chin, errrrythang! granted i was petrified with the idea of home waxing after reading so many horror stories...wax that doesn't come off for days, bruises, peeled off skin, etc.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">i walked into sally's completely unaware of what they sell in terms of waxing systems, and of course i was more excited about going shopping than reading reviews and doing research...oi vey! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">it was always the section i would skip =/ so of course i bought the most expensive system they had (you know...to be safe) ($64.99 with your Sally's Card) </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/gigi-waxing-kit/SBS-448508,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Gigi Mini Pro Kit</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> (cheaper on amazon.com). since i was on the road the rest of the day i didn't get a chance to go home and try it, that means i had a chance to google reviews on the mini pro kit while sitting at red lights...that's where i realized everyone was complaining about the wax that the kit supplies and how worthless all the lotions and creams were. apparently the </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/Creme-Wax/SBS-448042,default,pd.html#reviews"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">GiGi creme wax</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> is crap, like super sticky and messy, when i say messy, i mean it doesn't adhere to the strips and stays on your skin, no bueno! so when i got a chance to go back to sally's last night i decided to immediately exchange it for the</span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/wax-warmer/SBS-331100,default,pd.html?green=22486637143&cm_vc=MYBUYS"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Suddenly Smooth Waxing System</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> that was on sale BIG TIME, you get the wax (of your choice, i chose the Suddenly Smooth </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/argan-honey-wax/SBS-331010,default,pd.html?green=22486637143&cm_vc=MYBUYS"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">organic honey wax with argan oil</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">), </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/wax-warmer/SBS-331100,default,pd.html?green=22486637143&cm_vc=MYBUYS"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">warmer</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">, 5 collars (comes with the warmer), and </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/wax-applicators/JLBERE03,default,pd.html?cgid=Skin05-04"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">50 applicator sticks</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> all for $29.99 (in store only -- online you get the warmer for $29.99, down from $43). i separately bought some </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/wax-strips/SBS-331022,default,pd.html?green=22486637143&cm_vc=MYBUYS"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Jilbere Euro Waxing System Non-Woven Waxing strips for $3</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/gigi-wax-off/SBS-448071,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">GiGi's Wax Off</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> for $10.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">for some reason, all the items marked as suddenly smooth, are marked as Jilbere Euro on the website (they're the exact same items). granted the items I got did say Jilbere Euro on the bottom of the packaging. so who knows.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img alt="Suddenly Smooth, Jilbere de Paris Wax Warmer --- 4/2/11 - IMAG0692" height="299" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5305/5585063281_150782964d.jpg" width="500" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the instructions for the warmer are pretty good, considering i didn't burn down the house, haha! you set the warmer to power 10 after sliding the wax container and wax collar onto the warmer, let it warm up for 30 minutes for a full 14 oz container, every 10 minutes i took an applicator stick and stirred it just a bit to make sure the container warmed up evenly. after 30 minutes it was all warm and i turned it down to power 3 so it can just keep the wax warm and let it sit for 10 minutes just so the wax doesn't burn me. during those extra 10 minutes i washed my legs with african black soap (super cleanser), dried my legs completely, added baby powder with a cotton ball all over my legs, and laid down newspaper all over my bathroom floor. the baby powder helps in preventing the wax to stick to your skin and just to the hair and it helps guide you since it shows where you've already waxed (you don't want to double wax the same area...bad idea!). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">i started the waxing process by applying thin layers at a 45 degree angle, going "SCHWAPPPP" and just sucking it up, honestly the wax did not hurt that much, certain areas with a lot of hair stung a bit but the rest was a breeze, the pain is the least of your worries, making sure you're very tidy with the wax to prevent making a mess should be your big worry, oh yeah, and burning yourself, just test the blasted wax ladies, don't be lazy ;-) -- also, make sure you buy a wax off to make sure that you get any wax you missed with the strips, the GiGi wax off is AH-MAYY-ZING and smells divine! you take the wax off and just rub on your legs then you take it all off with a tissue (per the instructions), i used a towel.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">side note: if you want to experience pain, get a full on brazilian wax, the results are the freakin best, but dang, the pain had me screaming...no joke, the technician was obviously used to it, haha.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">how much product did i use? i used about a 1/4 of the 14 oz wax container and 10 non-woven strips for each half leg.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">how long did it take? from the moment i sat down to start waxing to when i completed clean up was a total hour, which imo is not so bad for a noobs. i will be waxing my lip, chin, legs, underarms, arms and my bikini when i can't go in for a brazilian at home from now on.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">hows the cleanup? it was a breeze, i sealed the wax back up (left it in the warmer), put away all my supplies, and trashed all the newpaper, a couple sheets of newpaper had a couple gloops of wax.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">in the long run this will save me bookah bucks and i can't wait to go buy another wax container (tomorrow night most likely, i got a $5 coupon from yesterdays receipt) and maybe a whole other set too. i'm so very glad i decided to go with the cheaper option, despite the sales associates saying the product was new in the store and they didn't have an opinion on the brand/system and despite the lack of reviews on the specific wax i picked (it's new). i will no longer use my epilator which hurts like a motha and no longer will i purchase the pre-glued sally hansen strips for my lip and chin (so far that's the plan since i haven't tried it yet). i will no longer purchase the surgi microwavable non-strips wax and i will no longer shave! freedom at last, ladies! shaving for me has always been a challenge, i have the worst reactions, no matter how good of a blade and cream i use, i always bleed (especially if i shave more than once a week...and i need it daily) and always get the biggest ingrown hairs, i'm talking about half an inch scars, it's horrible. With waxing I just have to use my <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/clearasil-daily-clear-daily-pore-cleansing-pads/ID=prod7231-product?V=G&ext=frgl_Google_Beauty">clearasil cleaning pads</a> daily to prevent ingrown hairs for both legs and where i've had my brazilian wax (my brazilian waxer gave me the tip, the few times i've had leg waxes i've been given no advice).</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">so, here are my questions, have you done home waxing and what kind have you used? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">also, how do you feel about double dipping if you're only doing your legs (no bikini or lip) with that wax container? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

I don't really know all that much about Elizabeth Taylor other than she married 8 times, divorced 7 and widowed once, had a perfume line (White Diamonds which my mother still loves) and was an actress. After googling her I learned she was a huge jewelry collector and my jaw dropped as I saw all the jewelry she has sported and owned. I had no idea she was such a humanitarian too, she spent a lot of time raising money for fight against AIDS. She was a dear friend to Michael Jackson and gave him a 4 ton elephant once to add to Neverland.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
