    Eye Cream

    It's the ProX series. I believe it's called skin tightening gel but I'm not sure. It cost $42.99 at Walgreens.

    Eye Cream

    I just started using Olay's skin tightening gel under my moisturizer & noticed an immediate difference, esp. w/my droopy lids. They're a bit less droopy & have improved bit by bit over the last week. I was pleasantly surprised b/c it wasn't cheap & I'm usually pretty skeptical about this stuff.

    Has your heart rate monitor acted up??

    I think you jinxed me Deb. This morning it read zero for the first 10 minutes of my workout. I gave up & took it off. I'm tired today, but I know I'm not dead! :D

    Recommendation for a good tinted moisturizer?

    I've been applying it just as I do w/foundation--I use a foundation brush. I put a dab on forehead, eyelids, cheeks & chin. Then I use the brush to shmear it horizontally over my face, & then swipe the brush in downard motions from hairline to chin. It gives a nice, even, all-over coverage.

    Has your heart rate monitor acted up??

    When do you put it on? I've found a cold chest strap won't read right. I put the chest strap on right when I get up, have my coffee, put on my workout clothes, & by the time I get to the basement it's my body temp & reads correctly.

    Recommendation for a good tinted moisturizer?

    I am loving the Neutrogena! Thanks again for the rec! It has made a huge difference in the look of my skin texture. Looks much less "papery." I don't use any concealer. I have bags under my eyes big enough to fit all of my makeup in, but I don't have dark circles. I've found concealer...

    Recommendation for a good tinted moisturizer?

    Thanks ladies--is it a good moisturizer? I've found a lot of Nuetrogena's stuff to be kind of drying. And I can't use any kind of powder products at all--makes my face look like the Sahara! The brand was originally to treat acne symptoms rather than aging symptoms, although I know they're...

    Recommendation for a good tinted moisturizer?

    Foundation is just not doing the trick anymore for my aging skin. Instead of hiding lines & that desert-like texture, it seems to be making them look worse. I'd like a nice, light tinted moisturizer instead. Any recommendations for something not too expensive that I could pick up at my local...

    Thoughts on invisible fencing?

    Well, I have decided against it (although reading subsequent responses I must add, I am so glad I don't get my dogs from breeders! LOL!). I just don't like the idea. I'm afraid the pug will be too stubborn about it & undeterred by the shock (static, electric, whatever), & I'm also afraid...

    Thoughts on invisible fencing?

    Hmmm sounds like it may well be an option. My only other option would be to pay to have fencing installed on someone else's property. I don't know if I'm willing to spend the $3000-5000 that would cost, unless I ended up spending the rest of my life there..........but the invisible fence is...

    Thoughts on invisible fencing?

    I might be relocating & will not be buying again. So I'm wondering if I need to limit myself to rentals that already have a fenced yard, or if invisible fencing is an option? It seems kind of cruel........but I have a 12 YO pug who is very stubborn & not so bright. The puggle wouldn't leave the...

    When did w/o pants suddenly become so LONG?

    Oh how I would love to add a few inches to my stubby little legs! I saw some really sick news story last week about a leg lengthening procedure they're doing in an Asian country--I think maybe Japan? OMG the torture these women were going through just to add 1-1.5 inches to their...

    LESS THAN ONE HOUR TO GO

    Good luck & have fun everyone! I've been going back & forth on this for days & finally decided to pass. Too many injuries & too few dollars this year. :(

    When did w/o pants suddenly become so LONG?

    All of them! I'm really loving Hard Tail these days but they're 33" inseam. Even KOS USA, which used to be the perfect length, now comes w/33" inseam. I hate getting new w/o clothes & then having to wait another week to get them hemmed. What is this permanent double sided tape of which you...

    When did w/o pants suddenly become so LONG?

    I don't get it. I'm kind of short (about 5'3") & until recently I never had problems finding pants that fit my height. Now it seems like they all come w/at least a 33" inseam & I end up spending another $10 to get them hemmed. And good w/o pants aren't cheap in the first place. This is so...

    KCM's Stepboxing--so disappointed!

    I have Chung's first DVD too. I really like it, but I've been having heavy bag issues (keeps falling off the darn bracket) so I haven't done it in a while. Except the core section, which I really like & use pretty often. This one looks too short though. 38 minutes? Will not feed my cardio...

    KCM's Stepboxing--so disappointed!

    Thanks ladies, I'll check them out! The thread on complex step from yesterday just put a major dent in my wallet LOL. Will be trying Marcus Irwin & found that there were still one or two Rebecca Small workouts I don't own yet. Man, that stuff from the UK is not cheap............but I am SO...
