    Getting Older

    I think it's interesting when someone says they are often told they look 10 or 20 years younger than they are. That doesn't bode well for what the young people look like. It's great that those of us here are very conscious of aging and taking care of ourselves, but to be told that at age...

    Healthy foods you just CAN'T stomach

    Me too! I didn't realize I was so diversified in my tastes. Some of the things many of you can't stand, I eat every day! Cottage cheese.... I just finished a big ol' helping. I eat a banana a day. Interesting... I wonder if it has anything to do with how we were raised to eat. My mom served...

    Help with sports bras

    Everyone laughs at me when I say this, but I step into the sports bras and pull them up over my hips. Then I put my arms in the straps and pull them into place! I'm the same size you are (34A). It works great, especially when you're taking off a sweaty bra after running. Personally I can't...

    Slow and heavy

    I totally agree that S&H is one of her most underrated workouts. I've had this one for years, and still do it regularly. It's super effective. I've always wanted a 40 lb dumbbell just for this workout, but haven't ever wanted to spend the money for one. I would have gotten the one at the...

    For Fellow Slow Runners

    Thanks, Carole! I just hate to see anybody downplay their running. The only "slow" I can think of is just sitting in a chair. ;) I think that bumper sticker is funny! I'm not a fan of "bragging" bumper stickers, like the ones that say "13.1" or "26.2", but I saw one recently that made me...

    For Fellow Slow Runners

    Tracy, I'm curious why you think a 10 minute mile is slow? It might not be as fast as a 8 or 9 minute mile, but it's certainly not slow. I stopped calling myself "slow" a long time ago. I did that for years. Slow is only slow when you call it that. Running is running, and speed is irrelevant...

    Rave: Bob Harper

    Bob Harper takes it to a whole new level, trust me! His toughest one, in my opinion, is "Total Body Transformation". It is one of my all time favorite workouts and definitely one of the hardest I own. I really like Pure Burn/Super Strength and Ultimate Cardio Body, but Total Body...

    Orthaheel sandals

    Julie, I actually just purchased my first pair of Orthaheel sandals about 3 weeks ago. These are the ones I got: Orthaheel Julie I can't vouch for the ones you posted, but the ones I got are great. I am a big wearer of comfort brands like Born, Helle Comfort, Sofft, Clarks Privo, etc. and...

    Article link: Strong is the new skinny: celebrations!

    Somehow I knew somebody would point out that I didn't say anything about Bush being called a stupid twit. Honestly, in the context of what we're talking about "WOMEN and their appearance", I only felt it necessary to mention that she called Palin (a woman) a stupid twit. However, the point isn't...

    Article link: Strong is the new skinny: celebrations!

    She makes a great point and I enjoyed reading what she had to say. I do have to take issuse with one particular comment she made though.... Quote: Meanwhile, Obama & McCain were offered enough respect by the media to actually run campaigns that revolved around their political views, instead...

    Prettier Lashes!

    I have aging eyes with difficulty reading up close. I've noticed no changes at all from latisse. I don't think this is even a consideration though, because you don't get the solution in your eyes at all. My personal advice... get it through a doctor. He will advise you and answer your...

    Prettier Lashes!

    Okay, that sounds like a great idea! I think rinsing it is probably fine, especially since you haven't had any problems. I am not all that sure what they mean by contamination anyway. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Prettier Lashes!

    Thanks Carol! That's an excellent idea. So it's okay to reuse something like that? How do you clean it? The reason I'm asking about the reuse issue is because the applicators have warnings on them about not reusing and risk of contamination. I'm not even sure that's a valid issue, but...

    Prettier Lashes!

    Yes, that is what I meant. If I were to the maintenance point, I wouldn't be using as many applicators. My issue is that I'll run out of the applicators before I get to maintenance, and before my bottle is empty. How do you get applicators without buying more solution?

    Prettier Lashes!

    I do this as well, but not before I went through a ton of those things using them as instructed, one per eye. My doctor told me after the fact that I could use one per eye. Even so, if a bottle is lasting 5 months, I still wouldn't have enough applicators. Unless I were on maintenance I guess.

    Prettier Lashes!

    After 4 weeks I've not seen any side effects at all. I have brown eyes though, and I've heard some people say it could change the color of blue eyes. I'm just not sure about that. Someone with blue eyes will have to weigh in. The latisse doesn't get into your eyes at all, so I'm not sure why it...

    Prettier Lashes!

    After seeing a friend who was using Latisse and marveling over her amazing lashes, I started using it myself. I am 4 weeks in, and have already had great results! My lashes are already long enough I can feel them against my sunglasses all the time. My doctor told me that I should see optimum...

    Perspiration Inspiration! - Sweat Activated T-Shirts

    Thanks for the explanation about the sleeves. Still, no dice for me. I can't stand anything on my shoulders like that when I'm working out. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't own anything with cap or short sleeves, even in my regular wardrobe.... but most especially not for working out...

    Anybody else wish these came in tanks? No way I'm wearing a t-shirt with sleeves when I'm sweating that much!
