Today only, all purchases of Eight Hour Cream products made through the Elizabeth Arden site will ship for free, which is nice because they don’t always offer free shipping. They’re also throwing in free samples of Eight Hour Cream, Skin Protectant, Intensive Moisturizing Body Treatment and Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment.
The sale caught my eye because I’m a big fan of Elizabeth Arden’s Body Treatment, Hand Treatment and Lip Protectant Stick.

Haha you watch Stargate Atlantis? Isn’t it great? I never got behind the regular Stargate but I love Atlantis. I can’t remember that girl’s name but she looks just like J-Lo. I call her space-Lo.

Hi Melissa,
Ha! I noticed the same thing too. When I first saw her I was like, “Uh, since when does J. Lo do sci fi TV?”
