    I love Mary Kay skin care and their new mineral powder foundation. you can layer on whatever coverage you want from light to heavier. It's awesome and very lightweight.

    Wrist Curl question

    Not Cathe, but I have similar issues with my wrists. However instead of carpal tunnel, i have tendonitis up one wrist and thumb. My physical therapist has me do wrist curls with a light weight (started at three, now at 5) three times a week to avoid more repetitive stress symptoms. I do 4 sets...

    Pain in elbow after triceps workout

    Possibly tendonitis. I get this in my knees and elbows. If i push too hard on squats especially. Ice it, take some iburprofen for inflammation and give it a good rest. Then don't push it too hard after that cause it can flame up again easliy.

Basically getting to really know your body so you can know when you are the most fertile. Often used by women who are trying to...

    new pill info....

    Definitely research proper articles. There are lots of alternative birth control methods out there other than pills. IUD (both hormonal and non-hormonal), Implanon, Ring, Patch, FAM, etc. Maybe look into some of these? Also remember that all pills are not created equal. Just saying you...

    Strengthening back and neck

    Hi Cathe and anyone else with advice for me, I'm looking to strengthen my back, all the way from my neck down to my lower back, to help with posture and relieve some back pain. I guess I just haven't found the right exercise moves to start doing this without getting incredibly sore. I know...

    Back and Shoulders

I still can't lift much weight yet, I'm talking 2 or 3 pounds is about what my wrist can comfortably handle. While my injury was...

    Navel piercing and ab work

    out of all the numerous piercings that people can get, the navel heals the slowest. averaging at around 8 months. for me, it took a good three to four weeks before it didn't smart from movement. it varies for everyone though and just depends on how fast you heal. make sure you aren't wearing...

    ~Eating "clean" and Splenda~

    RE: ~Eating i love splenda. i don't know too much about it, except what one of my biology classes has discussed. It's made from sugar, basically the sugar molecule is modified in such a way that we can't digest it, so it just goes in one end and out the other. that's the way it sounded anyway...

    Scare me with some stories, please

    IUD's are not nearly as risky as you might think. For one thing, horror stories are not quite the way to go. If you want horror stories, then read up on the dalkon shield in the 70's (this one is no longer in use due to all the problems it caused). this horrible IUD was known for uteran...

    Breakfast And Appetite

    definitely! i'm no health expert by any means, but my guess is because it gets your metabolism revved up and ready for the day. eating breakfast helps me to be able to eat small meals throughout the day, rather than going with nothing until lunch and then gorging myself and not eating again...
