    Oil of Olay-Regenerist or Definity?

    I agree with MissL. I have been using the Regenerist line for about a year now and really liked the results, but when my moisturizer ran out I bought a bottle of Definity just to try. It does make my face does feel a lot greasier. I will definitely go back to the Regenerist when this...

    at what age did you get married or have kids

    I got married when I was 18. I had my first child when I was 20 and my second when I was 24. I am now 44 and have been married for 25 years. My oldest daughter has been married for a year and lives 1500 miles away. The youngest will be a sophomore in college. I often wish I waited to get...

    Harry Potter?

    We saw the movie on Saturday. While we enjoyed it, DD was disappointed because of how different the book and movie were. I expected it to be different, but was surprised at some of the changes that were made. I really wish that they would have explained the part about Harry's aunt's role in...

    Do you knit?

    Thanks to both Sue and Suz for letting me know I can bring my needles on the plane. I don't mind flying, but I don't like the close quarters of a plane. I thought maybe listening to a book on CD and the knitting would speed the time faster than just trying to read a book. It's a four-hour...

    Do you knit?

    We took a class together >about 9 years ago b/c we traveled to Europe all the time for >business and figured it would be great to do on the plane. Suz, Can you take knitting needles on a plane now? They seem like something that would be banned (like 4 oz of shampoo or a fingernail...

    MP3 and holder?

    Deb, When you say it has a belt loop thing do you really need a belt? I am on my fourth mp3 player now and each has had a clear case with a CLIP that would slide over belt or an armband or, in my case, over the waistband of my shorts/pants. What kind did you get? My creative Zen Nano...

    Sweets

    Frozen unsweetened pineapple. Let it thaw halfway (or microwave it at 50% for 20-30 sec.) Very sweet and refreshing.

    Prince

    My DH who is a part-time musician said that since everything was wireless it was very possible that he was really playing. I loved it. I thought the stage was great.

    A Question For The Bakers....

    I just got this about 10 days ago. While this is a whole-grain cookbook, it is not one that reduces sugar or fat at all (e.g. the Carrot Cake has 1 1/2 c. of oil and 2 c. of sugar for 16 servings). Also a lot of the recipes in this book use a mixture of whole-grain and unbleached white flour...

    Question about Spinning

    I love Spinning too!! It is the only reason that I joined our local YMCA and the only reason I stay (esp. in Jan. LauraMax!) The only tip that I got when I started was to stay back on the seat on my sit(?) bones. My rear-end was sore, but my crotch was not. I really like the fact that...

    I just did something crazy

    Laura, Can't you just use 2 body bars at a time when doing squats and static lunges and those other moves where Cathe goes over 24 lbs? I have grabbed a 9 and 15 lb together when doing walking lunges in our kickbox class (18 is as heavy as they go there) and haven't had a problem. The fact...

    Ya' know those little cuts...

    When I used to work in the dietary dept. of the hospital and had to wash my hands about 100 times a day and then dry them with those terrible brown paper towels, I would get these every winter. The only thing that I ever found to help was Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream. It's available...

    What to order?? - long

    I have all the workouts you listed except for Low Max. If I were going to choose from the workouts you would like to have, I would choose Muscle Max and KPC/legs and glutes. I know you have KPC from FitTV, but they have cut a lot of it out in order to allow for commercials. Legs and...

    online classes vs. actual class

    I have taken a few graduate courses that were a "hybrid" - that is we were required to meet 3 times in person in the classroom - the first class, a mid-term and a final- while all other work was done online. The thing I disliked most about it was the discussion - I always want to just pipe up...

    For all you "older" college students....help me

    RE: For all you Donna, I went to college for 1 year, then got married and then got pregnant and didn't end up returning for 13 years. It was very scary and sometimes very hard, but it is the best thing I ever did besides being a mom. I started out small - only 1 class the first quarter...

    workout, but feel you've wasted your time?

    If I feel that the workout was a waste but still have 5 minutes or so, I do as many push-ups as I can, then roll over and do reverse crunches for 1 minute, then as many push-ups as I can, then bicycle crunches (or whatever they are called) for 1 minute, then as many push-ups as I can and then 1...

    mtv pilates

    I have tried both videos from Netflix and I greatly preferred MTV's Pilates Mix. It's been a few months so I can't remember all the differences, but I really liked the Pilates Mix DVD - everything just seemed to flow and the time flew by, but I just didn't enjoy the other one as much. I...

    hardcore extreme

    I have all of the DVD's you listed and Hardcore Extreme is by far my least favorite and least used of all of them. I enjoy HSC much more. I thought that I would really like the HCE's 2nd circuit that alternated Low Max (which I have from Fit TV) and Imax 3 (which I don't have), but it...

    I need some suggestions, please

    Sandra, I admire what you are doing. When I went back to college, one of the things I did was to make up a four-week menu plan that I just kept using throughout the semester. I always knew what I was going to make for the week when I went to the store so making the grocery list was quick...
