    Can anyone help me with...

    That's awesome! Got to get some stridex pads! I think maybe the cream she was talking about is Eucerin cream. We love that stuff! I had forgotten about it! Wal-Mart sells a knock-off of it that is super cheap too!

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Sometimes this happens to me, but not lately... When I am wide awake at bedtime, I like to drink Tazo Rest tea. It has valerian root in it, and that helps calm you. It also has rose petals and citrusy herbs so it tastes really yummy! The tea, followed by a hot shower and a nice book at bedtime...

    Can anyone help me with...

    I'm an avon rep, and we sell lots of specialized foot lotions. (My favorite is the callus cream.) But they might not address such a serious problem. BUT, I've become quite a fan of coconut oil lately... I not only cook with it but also rub it on my dry hands and it's fantastic. Maybe try...

    Dumbbells vs. Barbell

    I've been doing Cathe's workouts for six years, and I don't own a barbell. I've always subbed dumbbells. I do rows like she does single arm rows, just with both arms... if that makes sense. I do squats and plié squats holding my dumbbells at my sides instead of hoisted on my shoulders. And if I...

    Chocolate Lovers Beware

    Wow. I don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that there are insect legs in chocolate bars or the fact that I would still eat one if I were given one and promised no weight gain. The fat/calories turns me off more than the insect legs. Hmm... :o I had to quit reading Kathryn's post. The...

    Gym Styles Revisited!

    So funny you posted this because I just dusted off my GS Chest & Tris last night and wow... my triceps and even my lats are talking to me today! Wow!!! (I think I said those three words you mentioned above as I was trying to get out of bed this morning!) Love this series!!! I bragged about it so...

    Book Series??

    They aren't mysteries, but I LOVE Penny Vincinzi's Spoils of Time trilogy. They are sagas set in England beginning in the early 1900s during World War I and they follow a family of very strong women. It's really a great series. The books in the series are: No Angel, Something Dangerous and Into...

    Any vegans in Catheland?

    I really enjoyed Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet. I became a vegetarian (well, technically, pescavore since I still occasionally eat fish) after reading that book a little over a year ago. She tells you how you can gradually become a vegan or you can dive into it. I'm not crazy about her...

    online preview of new videos?

    I know that there are a lot of bulk DVDs out there for less or comparable prices, but when you think about the numerous premixes that are included on Cathe's DVDs, you actually are getting many more than 9 DVDs... And the quality of her work is so superior than everyone else. But I'm totally...

    Question about featured recipe

    Thank you! :)

    online preview of new videos?

    I totally agree!!! I think my DH has pre-ordered it for me for Mother's Day, but I won't know for sure until Sunday and it's KILLING me!!! SNM-Can you tell me if he did? LOL :)

    Homemade creative necklace

    That's beautiful, Janie! Will you share how you made it? I'd love to start making jewelry. I imagine it's so much fun! Did you make those beads?

    Question about featured recipe

    Hey SNM, I submitted a recipe back when you guys first started featuring them and I was chosen as the featured recipe. (YAY!) I was wondering if it's possible to submit more recipes and try for it again? Or is that discouraged?

    Peak 8

    I do tabata and HiiT too, but this is different. It's much more intense. I'm literally running sprints with recovery in between. And I am not a sprinter! :eek: I haven't noticed many benefits yet, but as a rule, you're not supposed to eat within two hours of doing Peak 8, and I rarely follow...

    Coconut Oil?

    I just started using it and love it! I add it to baking mixes. I also use it to saute veggies and stir fry. Yummy! It does have a mild sweetness to it. Very good.

    How to explain the 9/11 & Osama to kids

    I like what NY25 said. I've just been honest. We really haven't talked too much about it. My oldest son (age 9) asked me tonight if it was OK to be happy that Bin Laden had been killed. DH said, "absolutely!"... But I didn't know how to answer that... Yes, I'm glad that he cannot hurt anyone...

    Peak 8

    So I have been reading up on Dr. Mercola's Peak 8 method of training, and for the past couple of weeks I've been doing it two to three days a week. Wondering if anyone else here has tried it and seen results? I really have noticed it's a vigorous workout for only 20 minutes. I'm breathless and...

    Prayers for Alabama Tornado Victims

    I also have three young boys! Wow, we have a lot in common! I am so glad you guys got power back. There are so many ways to help, so don't beat yourself up for not being able to physically go out and lend a hand. Just getting the word out and donating items means so much. And, above all else...
