I haven't had a chance to look at it much, but I'm over at Pinterest now if anyone is interested. My username is MetalMinky.
Sample mail alert!
I got my sample of Garnier Fructis Shampoo & Conditioner in the mail today. Once again, this is no longer available from Walmart, so sorry to those of you who didn't get it. I keep checking back at Walmart's samples, but they just haven't been updating with anything new. Here are the offers I'm seeing right now: Poise, Depends, and Milk Bone. I'm not interested in any of these, buy maybe some of you are?



I got a few new things in the mail today as well: first up, my new soap dish. I have to say, my little soap dish temp fix actually worked really well. Moving on to the new soap dish, my boyfriend wasn't very happy about the price: "5 dollars for a soap dish?!?" Yes, well, I did pick out one of the cheaper ones ( I guess I should point out some of the $30 soap dishes from Walmart, hmmm??) I got the Japanese Soap Tray Amber Color from Amazon.com. It works fine so far, and it's pretty much as described. I was concerned it might be a little bit bigger than I wanted, but it turned out to be smaller than expected which works out perfectly. So, no complaints. It has two parts, the lid and a bowl so all you have to do is remove the lid and dump out the excess water. I couldn't even tell that it was two parts when I first looked at it. So, no complaints here and thus far, thumbs up.

I also got a pair of pj pants from Walmart.  I got the cherry print ones, and first of all, they look black on my monitor. In real life they are very dark blue. This is OK with me, just not what I was expecting. Secondly, I must have been not away when I made this purchase: I was not expecting hemp pants, nor was I expecting cropped pants. This will work out fine, because I need new summer pj pants, but once again, not what I was expecting. They're on clearance for $7 though so I won't complain. The one thing I am very happy about is the size: I ordered an XL which is 16/18. Going by Walmart's sizing charts, I should be wearing a larger size, but these fit me just fine. It might just me personally though: my hips are almost at a size 14 while their size chart puts my waist at about a 20 or 22. Whatever. The point is, these fit great on me, so I'm happy. Hopefully they don't shrink when I wash them, which I haven't done yet.
