    L'Oreal Hair Colour

    I've used it several times and been happy each time, and I'm in the same boat as you--I just can't afford the salon visits on anything like a regular basis. What someone else mentioned with this kit is true--the highlights really do coordinate with the base color, which hasn't always been true...

    For Jane Austen Fans

    She's also one of my very favorite authors. I think it's a really great sign that there would be an Austen action figure in a world that sometimes seems to only have room for "models" who are either carrying weapons or have bodies and faces not found in nature!

    my New Year's resolution

    well, one of several...:) is to stop lurking and start posting on this site! I live in soggy Marin County, California, and have been a devout Cathe follower for about ten years now. I've gotten so much out of everyone's expertise on this site and realized that the cameraderie here is so great...

    Anybody tried Patrick Goudeau?

    I LOVE Patrick's choregraphy. Once I get it, I have so much fun doing his workouts. I love his personality, too. The two problems I have with Patrick are : (a) his workouts don't get my heartrate up especially high, so I save them for a day when I might otherwise do nothing, and (b) his cuiing...

    anyone else have this problem buying clothes?

    I have the same problem, and one thing that has helped me is to look for pants that have some lycra or spandex in them. That way you get a little bit of "give" in the hips and thighs, but the fabric "clings" a bit in the waist. But there are a lot of pants I just can't wear.x(

    Bargain alert -- Rykas

    RE: Sizing? Hi everyone, I would also be curious to know people's thoughts on Ryka sizing since I sometimes find them a bit tight. I guess that might be lacing. Also, has anyone tried the Asics gel shoes, specifically the 210-TRs? I was wondering if those give even better protection against...

    A Very Sad Day!

    Oh, Cathe, I'm so sorry to hear this. Our family had to put our black lab, Tar, to sleep this spring. They are such wonderful, fun-loving, spirit-lifting dogs. We'll never stop missing them, but we are so lucky to have had them in our lives. You know that by putting Hampton to sleep you showed...

    weight loss rotation?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a weight loss rotation that incorporates all of Cathe's workout series--the one I found doesn't include Body Blast or the Intensity Series. Can anyone help me out with either a link or a rotation you've created? Many thanks, Kristen

    Shoes

    Hi Sue, I have the same problem with Rykas not fitting well (and the same disappointment over it!). I've found that New Balance shoes work better for me. I currently alternate between NB 745s and NB 825s. Hope this helps, Kristen

    kickbox faves?

    Gayle and Janice, thank you very much! I will try Powerstrike and am looking forward to it...almost as much as I'm looking forward to Cathe's next kickbox workout. Thanks a lot for your thoughts! Kristen

    kickbox faves?

    Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've been a step lover for years but have been loving KPC so much that I thought I'd ask if anyone has kickbox workouts by instructors other than Cathe that you really like. Obviously no-one is going to top Cathe! But I thought it might be fun to see what else...

    deltoid strength during workouts

    Hi Cathe, I typically do the upper body portion of MIS twice a week and the upper body portion of Body Max once a week. I can lift with the weight amounts you use in the videos comfortably if I rest between body parts. My problem is that my deltoids and (maybe) biceps get quite tired during...
