Ooh yes, I forgot about Amazing Concealer, I tried it on in Sephora once, it truly was amazing, but I didn't buy it because it was $42. But it was better than anything I have by Benefit, and I might switch when I run out of what I'm using now.

I would have never dreamed that such an expensive blender would be worth it, but now that I have a Vita-Mix I can't ever go back! I use it to make smoothies, and it blends anything into super creamy goodness. I use it to grind whole spices when I'm cooking. I use it to make soup. I use it to...

I always forget about my foam roller, thanks for the reminder!

Definitely C&W for me! I use it to ease me back in to regular workouts after I've been sick, because I know I can handle it, and because it cures any motivation problem I might have after losing momentum. Total mood booster, and then I can't wait to work out the next day!

You're welcome! Yeah, I think Benefit products run around $20 per item. Spendy to me, definitely one of my indulgences! Good luck.

I found "The Road" disturbing but fascinating and very well-done, it inspired me to read the book afterward. Amazing book, and the movie stayed very, very close to the book. How have I not seen "I am Legend"? I love Will Smith and post-apocalyptic movies! Adding it to Netflix right now...

Have you tried any products by Benefit Cosmetics? They have various camouflaging and concealing products, with names like Erase Paste, Boi-ing, Eye Bright, Lemon Aid, and more. I might be worth a trip to a Benefit counter in your local dept. store to see if any of these help you. I love their...

Love this! :D

1. Vitamix - how funny that it's on so many people's lists. Once you have it, you know what a gem it is! 2. cello 3. MacBook 3. iPod touch (my phone is supplied thru work, or I'd get an iPhone!) 4. Alpha Hydrox products - I swear I look younger since I started using them last year, and...

I'm interested to see what people with a background in personal training/physical therapy have to say. I don't have any qualifications like that, so there may be implications that I'm not aware of. OK that's my caveat, now here's my opinion! :) I think it would be OK, based on my...

Chammer, I didn't notice the OP said STS "Total Body" either until your second post! So yes, Kstrauser, if you have STS Total Body and you do Hiit workouts, I'd do the STS dvd two or three days a week, and Hiit cardio three times a week. If you want to confuse your muscles more and get...

Yeah, I'm not sure how our bodies would benefit less (or be harmed more) during the rest week by doing a kickbox DVD versus playing tennis, for example. Jumping around and sweating is, well, jumping around and sweating! How does our body know if there's a DVD playing in front of us or not? :D

Oh dear, I'm starting STS for the very first time this month, on Monday 1/24!!! :D Any tips on what's been helpful in alleviating this DDOMS? Epsom salt baths? Ibuprofen? Tons of water? Extra stretching 24 and 48 hours after? Anything? Pleeeeze? ;)

The entire STS bundle is on sale for an incredible price, so there's that. I just ordered mine, it's a great deal! There's also Gym Styles, it's 3 DVDs and I love love love them, but with the STS sale right now, I think you'd barely spend more on 36 DVDs than you would with the 3 Gym Styles...

I just ordered it, I couldn't believe the price! I was supposed to get with some birthday money last October, but that didn't work out, and now I'm glad it didn't because this price is incredible! I can't wait to start, I'm going to get busy this week to finish my 1-rep maximums. :eek:

How fun! I just reviewed my workout log and did a quick tally, here are the winners: 1. Low Max - by a huge margin! 2. Butts & Guts 3. a 3-way tie among Muscle Max, Low Impact Circuit, and Kick, Punch & Crunch 4. Body Max 2 5. All 3 of the Gym Style workouts If you include walking/hiking...

Congratulations so far on the healthy changes you've made! Cathe's workouts are advanced, and it sounds like you have a good fitness base to try them out, given that your one-hour step routine isn't wearing you out, and that you're walking 4.2 mph. Low Max might be a good place to start. It...

I've found it helpful to pause between exercises to stretch and rest for several seconds, with STS Total Body as well as Gym Styles. When I do this, I can lift heavier and complete more reps. I figure the DVD keeps up a fast pace to fit in as much work as possible into its time frame, rather...

In general I get better results with high rep workouts, so I like High Reps better, but that's just a personal thing about my body in particular. I still like STS Total Body and have been using it regularly, especially the 24-minute upper body premix. If I could get only one, it would be High...

My teenaged niece babysits occasionally for a few different families, and she charges $10/hour.
