Janet, I have found a lot of Wegmans things are very good. I love their home made breads and they have a bagel that is wonderful, tastes like french toast and I use it as a dessert it is that good but not often of course. My Mr. Coffee 12 cup pot was only $19.99 so I just replace it when I feel the coffee doesn't have a great taste anymore rather than rinsing it out with vinegar. DH always said he can either smell or taste vinegar and that is one thing he hates, won't eat anything if he knows it has vinegar or cream cheese in so mostly I just don't tell him for for $20 I feel we get our money's worth out of the coffee pot since it is used so many times a day so, after 6 to 8 months I just get a new one of the same thing. I too liked the PSS Cashmere Mist but didn't last at all on me.

Desi, also glad you are back on line, terrible not being able to be on the computer huh. Oh yes, if you don't really like something, send it back. I am still on the fence with the wigs. I really love both but with the length of my hair I am having a lot of problems trying to get it under the cap which is impossible as well as trying to just get it under the wig itself. I plan on trying more since I do like them so will wait till the bitter end and hope. You can say that again, why do we keep getting and trying when we have so much already. I have ones I really really love so why am I looking for more, who knows. I do think I will order another Patti Labelle as well as another Jovan Musk and Jovan White Musk. Those 2 have been favorites since I was in high school and still smell very nice on me and DH loves both of them but he also likes both Patti Labelle and ET white diamonds as do most on me.

I think you will like Wegmans but let the dust settle, crowds die down a bit. I often pick up food to go there to bring home but once in awhile DH and I will go there and eat upstairs or outside in nice weather and relax although daytime it is soooo packed so we do our shopping there well into the over night hours.

Glad you got for a walk. Here it is in the 30's right now and want the same for Wednesday night and 60 for a high with a chance of rain through next Tuesday and very breezy it said.

Desi -- Glad you got out for your walk. A really nice day here -- they called for rain this afternoon but it's nice and sunny and warm. Feels like Spring.

The wait is worthwhile -- Wegmans is a great store and they have such a variety. Cheaper too on certain items (I always check the prices on items I usually buy).

Almost bought Skin Below the Chin shower gel in Rite Aid today -- it smelled just like pure grace; I don't need it but I'm going to back and buy it anyway!!

Glad your Internet is working now.

doglover -- I can see why DH doesn't like vinegar -- the odor really lingers. I really rinse my Mr. Coffee well and there's no vinegar taste at all. It used to clog up and the grounds got stuck and the coffee wouldn't drip properly. That's when I usually decide to go with the vinegar and it seems to help. You're right -- they're only $20 and you use your way more than I do.

Those bagels that taste like French Toast sound delicious and will have to try them sometime.

Thanks -- will have to try FragranceX -- will see if they have the DK Cashmere Mist in a rollerball.

Went to BonTon today and got 2 boxes of Green Mountain K cups -- 50% off plus 20% more with the coupon. Didn't look at anything else -- really don't need anything right now.

Have a nice evening everyone!

Hi Doglover and Janet. Doglover, K-cups don't make sense for you if you drink whole pots. Too costly and wouldn't save much time. The smell of vinegar lingers for days when I clean the Keurig, been putting it off. You can also taste vinegar for days no matter how many times I run water through it.

Janet and Doglover, I will eventually try Wegman's, but you have no idea how crazy it is right now, so won't be anytime soon. There are are many things i'd like to check out there.

Made myself go to Sephora to get a sample of Sunshine Grace. let me reiterate, i hate the mall! No matter where I park, I am nowhere near the store I want to get to. Anyway, got my sample! They also have the new Bare Skin liquid foundation, but wasn't up to dealing with the pressure to buy, so didn't look at them.

Weather is lovely out, finally!

Desi -- Glad you got out for your walk today. They called for rain this afternoon but we're having bright sunshine.

Glad you have your Internet back.

It'll be worthwhile to wait to go to Wegmans -- they have such a variety of things. I always check prices on items I always buy and they'recheaper than where I usually shop.

Almost bought Skin Below the Chin Shower gel in Rite Aid today -- it smelled just like Pure Grace (had musk in it). Even though I don't need it, will have to go back and buy it!!

Doglover -- The bagels that taste like French Toast sound delicious -- will have to try them. Don't usually look at the baked good section.

Can understand why DH doesn't like the smell of vinegar -- it really lingers. My Mr. Coffee was clogging up and the coffee wasn't dripping into the decanter that why I had to clean it with vinegar. I really rinse it a few times with clear water.

Thanks for the recommendation of FragranceX -- I would like to get a DK CM rollerball and I'll try there. PSS has a roller perfume too so maybe I'll try that too.

Don't know why Macy's discontinued JLO fragrances -- will have to check other stores when I get a chance.

Did get to BonTon today and bought 2 boxes of Green Mountain K cups -- 50% off plus 20% more with a coupon I had. Didn't look at anything else though!

Have a nice evening everyone!

Janet, you did great on K-cups! I like the same kind you do. Haven't gotten a real deal since my fave store closed.

Doglover, i spritzed Chloe at Sephora, and Chloe Rose on a test strip. You might like the original, it somehow reminds me when dry of Pleasures.

Hi all. We had a topsy turvy day. Started out cool and rainy- in the high 40s. Then it got warmer and humid. Now it is comfortable. Tomorrow its supposed to be in the 80s.

Do any of you know what Summer Grace smells like? I was able to find FIL Summer at TJMaxx. I liked it but wasn't wowed by it.

I found a sample card with S. Vergara's new scent on it. Came with a pair of pants I ordered. I liked it, but again, wasn't wowed. It smelled familiar, but I can't think of what it smells like.

[Desi]

Pepe's mom, we aren't getting that warm. Sunday might get in the 70s, that's it.

They had Summer grace at our TJs I think. Last year I did smell it but can't remember exactly what it was like. I know it wasn't a "wow". I think I thought it reminded me of a combination of Amazing grace and FOF? I don't think Sephora even had it today. Either discontinued or a limited edition I bet.

Sofia does resemble many other scents - sort of. Mine went back today.

Desi, same weather here, won't get warmer till the weekend and rained all of today again, just a steady drizzle but the wind wasn't as bad today as it has been. You have to tell us about Sunshine Grace. Someone posted she thought that was the strongest of all the Grace scents and the most floral so, if that is the case, who knows, just may be tempted sometime to try it. Same here, can smell vinegar for a long time and may be our imagination but I swear we could both taste it no matter how many pots of clear water I went through. I did the same with the coffee pot cleaner, forget the name but was around a long time. I hate the mall our Sephora is in, would rather pay S&H than go to that mall so, go to Ulta if they have what I want.

Janet, yes, for $20 I don't mind getting another coffee pot every6 to 8 months or so and sometimes is up to a year so isn't bad at all. He is the same with cream cheese, won't eat anything that has cream cheese in and yet he loves my frozen peanut butter pies, recipe makes 4 and you just keep them in the fridge, no frosting ever, just take a pie out, cut what you want and put right back in the freezer. They are always ready to eat. This was a recipe of my moms and DH loves them but has no idea there is cream cheese in it, can't taste it. Yes, do try one of Wegmans french toast bagels sometimes, is a treat just like dessert but be ready to wash your fingers, very messy/gooey. I was tempted to go to BonTon when they had Tignanello bags 40% off as well as Clark sandals. When I get Kohl's coupons I only go when I get a 30% off one, don't bother with the 15 or 20% coupons. I got some towels with the 30% off as well as my bed pillows, good deal. I ordered online since the store didn't have the color towels I wanted so ordered everything since the S&H were free so, good deal and didn't have to go to the mall.

pepesmom, wow, in the 80's already, low 60's here right now but should have 70 for the weekend they say, will see. I too got summer grace from QVC when they brought it out, got a set, sent it back but can't tell you what it was like, do know it didn't have staying power but than I have that problem so that could be just me with that scent. I got the FOF as well, transferred over to FOF instead of summer grace, kept it but use it as room spray and the shower gel I use for hand soap, too sweet.

[stevie72]

Desi -- A beautiful day -- 74 degrees. Feels like summer but calling for showers tonight and possible thunderstorms for tomorrow.

So glad I got the K cups at BonTon and a good deal too!

doglover -- I'm going to have to try the French toast bagel which I go to Wegmans again -- even if it's ooey-gooey!!

Don't ever tell DH his favorite peanut butter pie has cream cheese in it or he won't eat it again. Doesn't he like the taste of cream cheese or just the consistency? Cream cheese makes any dessert or dish extra special.

I don't have any good coupons for Kohls -- let my extra bucks coupon expire like a dummy! They did have a good ad in todays paper. Glad you got the towels and bed pillows with 30% off.

Your dogs and cats are going to be

happy that you stocked up on their favorite food!

pepes mom -- We're having a nice day too -- I opened up windows especially upstairs in our bedroom - next I will close the blinds to keep the sun out as it gets so hot up there but I really shouldn't complain about the heat!!!

I think I had a PSS mister of Summer Grace but not sure -- it must be pretty old now.

Last time I was in TJMaxx they didn't have any Philosophy items.

Have a nice day everyone!

Hi guys! Perfect weather today!

Doglover, i posted that Sunshine Grace lasted longest of all the scents. However, the bottle I spritzed yesterday didn't last at all, and neither did the sample they made up for me! I don't understand, they are the same strength as last time. So, don't know if there are variations in what they are bottling or what. However, I got a good coupon on-line so I ordered a bottle. DH told me to pick something for Mother's Day. So, he is getting me that and some Purity, although he doesn't know it yet.

I was wrong about testing original Chloe. Guess that formula with those notes is gone. The new old Chloe is different and made by Coty. What a surprise, they seem to make all the scents including Philosophy now. I only tried one and they have a bunch of others.
