    Open Houses - Waste of Time for Sellers?

    Probably it's a waste of time. My neighrborhood is old and has lots of scrapes and as a result there are lots of beautiful new homes in the area. It's like the freakin' parade of homes every weekend with open houses and people piling in and out. Now that the market turned, the realtors go...

    "Clean" Desserts?

    Sometimes I get creative and try out "clean" dessert recipes - mine and DH's current favorite is tofu chocolate mousse. But sometimes it's just worth having a little something that you want and not deny yourself!

    Travel Workouts

    Yup, CC Pump is a great travel companion! I really enjoy Keep and Burn It Up from Debbie Siebers and Power Half Hour from Tony Horton. It's so nice to just pack resistance bands and still know you're getting a good workout. I travel a lot for work, so these are lifesavers!

    Which full body wt workout to get?

    I have both PP/SS and PH+ DVDs and PH is my all time favorite total body workout. I NEVER get tired of it and I am always reaching for it. I like to add in PP or SS for variety (did PP yesterday and SS today, actually!). MIS is a little dated for my taste, but it's a solid weight workout...

    Is Couscous "clean"

    Yup, I buy whole wheat couscous, I figure it's better that regular couscous. ETA: I usuaully get it from my "natural" grocer in their bulk section. I also get the Fantastic Whole Food brand in the box sometimes.

    Complexity of choreography

    Whew - I'm glad to hear "easy to follow" from Cathe herself!!!!! I am choreography challenged, but I pre-ordered this series to kick up my cardio routine a few notches! Keep it simple, please! There's plenty of variety in your other cardio workouts for choreography junkies out there!

    Want to help me shop for a wedding dress?

    I agree, I love Tess's first dress, sooo pretty! Nancy's comes in as my number two, such a pretty shape!!! But the subtle purple and green on the first one wins it for me!

    Does anyone still rollerblade?

    Definitely! DH and I grab our rollerblades and hit the park after work in the summertime. Rollerbladers are out all year here, but you see more in the warm weather. The other day I was walking in the park and saw this woman rollerblading and she had the most amazing legs ever!!!! Definitely...

    Real Housewives NYC

    I just finished reading the ten rules (part one of the book) and am looking forward to part two. It's nice to read it from her perspective - she's not a doctor telling you what to do. She's just like me and had the same thoughts and obsessions about food and how it controls us! The best part...

    Oh Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

    I need to start shopping around for a Toshiba, I can tell my DVD player is on it's last leg. I am amazed it's still chugging along - it's some no name $19.99 player I bought in 2002! Btw - I noticed that our Sam's Club had both a Toshiba and Sony DVD player on display. The past few times I...

    Real Housewives NYC

    I saw your post and stopped in at BN before I went home last night and bought it! She's my favorite housewife, and she must know what she's talking about - look at her! It will be my fun weekend read, I'll let you all know if it's any good.

    Anybody canceling vacation this year?

    We're still taking ours. However, it will be "cheaper" than previous years. Airfare was super cheap (finally, a break there - woo hoo!!!) and we used some miles, and we're staying at less expensive hotels. We've done the nicer resorts in the past, and for all the outdoor activities we do...

    feel a cold coming on? What do you do?

    Well, I start taking some Emergen-C. I also start making tomato soup/tea (if you Google tomato tea you'll probably get this recipe). I take V8, add in as much pressed garlic as I can handle, lemon juice, cayenne, chilli powder, red pepper flakes (anything I can find that's hot and spicy!)...

    Anyone tried Jillian Michaels workouts? or can advise on short rotations?

    I don't know, I got 30 Day Shred for X-Mas and didn't click with it. I don't mind Jiliian, I just didn't care for the workouts. Not a big fan of compound moves. I think there are a lot better alternatives for short workouts as mentioned in previous posts.
