Happy Birthday, Cathe! Must be nice to be turning 48 but to be able to pass for 28. :) Enjoy your special day.

I use the Obagi Nu-Derm line, which incorporates Retinol. I am very happy with it. I substitute Aveeno's Moisturizing Bar as a cleanser (because it's way cheaper than the Obagi cleanser -- about $3 a bar -- and works just as well) and I sub a Skinceuticals toner, because I like it better that...

Thanks for the great input, ladies, and have a great weekend! Deborah

Has anyone found a container that will keep a smoothie relatively cold for transport? I'd like to have the option of taking one to work for lunch. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Have a great day, Deborah

Hi Karen, Sorry to barge in, but I second the recommendations for the Warner bras that aveggiegirl recommends. I am an A (or probably a barely A), and these are the only bras I wear. I love them! I also get them at Kohl's (they go on sale periodically). Hope that helps! Deborah

I will be 43 in a few months, and I use the Obagi Nu-Derm system. It incorporates Retinol as one of the steps. I use the Obagi products (including the Retinol) 3 times a week, and just use Olay Regenerist Microsculpting Cream on the other days for moisture. I am very pleased with the Obagi...

I agree with Kathryn. I have the Gliding Discs and, while they do slide on puzzle mats, there is a bit of resistance, especially when compared to how they move on carpet. I go into the next room where there is a rug to use them so as to avoid straining my knees. I imagine the same would be...

That's a good idea, Kathryn. I'm going to try it tomorrow morning. I'm not sure why I didn't think of it, as my husband and I have a green smoothie with kale and fruit every morning. I guess I assumed they'd be put off by the color (which they sometimes comment negatively on when I drink...

Thanks for all of the information, links, and encouragement, ladies. These should keep me busy all day (thereby giving me an excuse to delay cleaning my house -- and added benefit!) I also decided to order "Raising Vegetarian Children." (Thanks for the suggestion, Kathryn.) After reading...

Can anyone recommend any books/resources regarding vegan and/or vegetarian diets for children? My 6- and 8-year-olds do not eat meat, and they eat almost no dairy. I do not eat meat or dairy either, but I want to read up on the differing nutritional needs of kids in this regard. Any...

Love it. I wish my "Chug" (Chihuahua/Pug mix) would do the 180-degree head tilt like those Pugs, but she doesn't. I guess the Chihuahua part of her cancelled it out. Oh well! Thanks for posting. Deborah

I have purchased bathing suits, pants, skirts, and a dress from Athleta. The sizing seems about right to me. I am very happy with the quality of all of the clothes, too. There are several items in the recent catalogue that I keep looking at, but they're definitely not cheap, so I'll probably...

I use puzzle mats that I purchased from greatmats.com. They're a bit thicker than the ones you might find at Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, etc. I have them over concrete and have found them to work well for me, even with impact cardio, and even with my 42-year-old knees. The mats were also...

I also remembered SNM addressing this question in another thread, and I found their answer: "There is only one Turbo Tower. All come with barbell catches. Retail promo pictures just don't show the catches in their picture, but they do come with them." Hope that helps, too.

When I inquired about the Altus Turbo Tower a while back, SNM told me it was the same product as the tower Cathe sells. Hope that helps.

I know most of you who had any interest in the Tower probably already own one, but, just in case there's anyone still interested out there, I thought I'd let folks know that Amazon has the Altus Turbo Tower (same as STS Push/Pull Tower) for $68 with free shipping. Seemed like a pretty good...

Hey everyone. I didn't realize (until I just looked) that Cathe's stability balls come in three sizes, 55, 65, and 75. Does anyone know which would be best for a 5'4" gal like myself? Thanks in advance for any input. Have a great day! Deborah

I could have written this post. I am by no means gorgeous, but I generally look all right. On the other hand, I am downright hideous in just about every photo that has ever been taken of me. As a result, I have very few photos of my daughters with me in them. Sounds vain, I known, and I'm...

My initial reaction (as a former prosecutor) is that I'd feel very uncomfortable prosecuting this conduct as a felony. I'm not even sure I'd be comfortable with this man being charged with a misdemeanor. It strikes me as conduct that should be addressed in the civil system as a tort for...

Thank you!
