    Instyler Rotating Hot Iron

    I'm a hairstylist, and that thing looks like exactly like what we've been shown NOT to do in my Frederic Fekkai training class. Those bristles will undoubtedly wear down and split and then split the hair. Ask your stylist to cut your hair in such a way that your natural texture works...

    Step Aerobics with bad knees

    I'm actually going in for a scope next Wednesday. Is your doc an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine? Usually docs will recommend the course of action which is the most conservative and will guarantee zero injury. If your doc is a sports specialist, then he/she will...

    salad dressing

    I usually make a dressing of EVOO with white balsamic pear vinegar and salt and pepper. Sometimes I make a "ranch" with Greek yogurt, buttermilk (I usually only have this around when I'm making farmers cheese) salt, pepper, garlic and dill.

    Protein Powder and Hair Loss

    Yup, sounds like thyroid to me. Also, many people with hypothyroidism have said that one of the meds was recently reformulated and doesn't seem to be as effective.

    "You look good, have you gained weight?"

    From what I've seen, people generally think that uber skinny is the way women are "supposed" to look. When I was a perfectly toned and proportional 5'5" 125 and I dealt with people telling me that I was a big girl, or that I'd be so much hotter if I lost 10 lbs, etc. I also think that BMI is...

    My boyfriend needs help losing weight...suggestions?

    Thankfully, most men can can lose weight pretty quickly. What's not so great, is that they tend to have a problem with "healthy foods". If he makes one small change in his diet per week, it will be a lot less painful, and he will be able to keep his metabolism going. For example, have him eat...

    Pre-K approaching and starting to have doubts :(

    No reason to feel guilty! It's good for him. It's so much easier to have them transition via pre-K than kindergarten all at once. Especially if he's excited, share his excitement, and the extra smidgen of free time you will get. It's awesome that your daughter wants to ride the bus, and if...

    DD having bad dreams...advice, please!

    Well, when I was little, I had pretty bad night terrors and sleep walking episodes. Night lights actually made it worse because the little bit of light would make distort shadows into scary shapes. My parents exacerbated this by talking about things being too scary for me, and actually my...

    favorite and least favorite

    I used to love legs and glutes until my knee injury. I hate any sort of abdominal work which requires me to hold my neck up for long periods of time, and I also despise any moves which require me to lie face down on the floor. I usually sub a stability ball instead.

    Doing what's best for the kids?

    Well, I think that if people wait until they are mature and also get married for the right reasons, then divorce can be avoided. My parents fought constantly, and I was glad that they divorced, I just wish that my mother hadn't remarried a pervert. By best friend who has 3 kids is in the...

    Having Wisdom Teeth Removed

    I had all 4 of mine out several years ago. I had twilight sedation because mine were impacted, but I had no pain afterwords. The tooth sockets felt weird, but not painful.

    why diets do not work

    Diets don't work because of wonderful things like Stilton cheese and fine Belgian beers.
