These are my two favorites https://www.amazon.com/Marilyn-Hollywood-Poster-Philippe-Halsman/dp/B000MYMEQW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471540766&sr=8-1&keywords=marilyn+monroe+bench+press...

I'm a Rebecca junkie & 1) I don't know if she's come out w/anything new lately b/c they're so hard to find & 2) the Step Magician & Steppin Out Tour (2 of my favorites) were such poor quality they started freezing less than a year after I got them. Finally tossed them today. I'd love to...

Thanks ladies. I'll try the lip butter for sure. No point in using expensive makeup. I read Paula Begoun--they're all pretty much the same. Now I just read ingredients instead of breaking the bank. :)

I really prefer the matte look but my lips get so dry, esp this time of year, so I just use gloss. I've tried a couple of lipsticks, I think from MAC, that felt OK when I put them on but w/in 15 minutes made my lips feel like the Sahara. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a lipstick that FEELS...

Wow! Has anyone else tried this? I was skeptical b/c I'd tried the Katmai bar w/o & was unimpressed. But this one is TOUGH! I really like it. So glad to find another w/o that gives me a burn like Cathe. :)

I'm going to miss a gym w/o this week & want to make it up at home. Those are the only 2 leg DVDs I have. Help please!

I just checked WebMD. According to them, these side effects were reported THE DAY OF the treatment. So I can understand how someone who might be afraid of needles or stresses over this stuff would have these side effects, since they're the classic side effects of stress. Like I said, other...

Who said that??????? It makes no sense! Botox goes maybe one millimeter into the muscle on your face. It doesn't get into your bloodstream or system or anything like that. I've been getting it for at least a decade w/no side effects whatsoever, nor have I ever heard of anyone having those...

I used to know a lot about them but I forget b/c I was too stoned. :D Seriously though, you should rent the movie The Wall if you really want the true flavor of Floyd.

You could try adding sets, decreasing reps & increasing weight. For example (just pulling numbers out of my hat here), if you're doing 3 sets 10 squats at 100 lbs, try 4 sets 6 squats at 125-150 lbs. Also if you go to a gym you could try the same method w/the isolation exercises like...

I came across these while browsing Zumba's website & though I'd share. http://www.zumba.com/en-US/shop/product/zumba-carpet-gliders/

Well I just discovered VS sells w/o pants in 3 lengths. I bought two pair & was surprised at the quality--much better than what I was expecting. And they were about $35. AND they came in a variety of super cute styles. I hate VS shipping costs but it's worth it to have something decent...

I would avoid pushups if I were you. When I first had the surgery I had a long discussion w/the group fitness director at my gym who'd done the same. She said all you need to do is keep the muscles strong enough to keep your girls perky. :) I just do 4 sets 12 bench press w/25 DBs & 4 sets...

I tried the standing bag first, I HATED it. It moved every time I hit it. I'd start my w/o on one side of the room & by the time I was done I'd end up on the other side. So I decided to go for the hanging bag. I got it from Dick's for $60--it's 70 lbs & has "MMA" on the side of it. The...

Just don't go. If they're all tanked, they probably won't even notice. ;) I stopped going to office parties years ago. I figure I spend enough time w/these people already, I don't want to spend my precious free time w/them too.
